illn the night of the Ith of November the mare in

secutor, by olie of his servants. The next morning
e animal site missed . Mr. Challen then circulated
number of hand,bil Is in the neighbouring towns,
with a full descriptim tof the mare. By the inquiries
at. Lewes, it appeared that the prisoner had
• pos to that place v iith the mare, and booked it for
Obi st the office of an auctioneer. The next day, a
pbrson named Eagi es purchased it. For greater se-
curity, Mr. Eagles asked the auctioneer who was the
owner. The Ptia( ,uer was then pointed out to him.—
When asked how he came into possession of the mare,
be said he an a farmer near Arundel, and that being
rather unfor ttnat e, he wished to part with her. This
perfectly satisfy ing the purchaser, he paid the money,
and the. prison er was permitted to depart. When

The prosecutor, who is a labouring man, had on
*end of October, gone to a place called Burwash ;

an his return he called at a public-house, for the pur-
pose of getting some refreshment. There he saw the
prisoner, and remained drinking with him for some

the latter informed the prosecutor that he was go-
.

ther about three or four miles, the prisoner left him,
And returned towards the public house they had left.
When the prosecutor had walked some distance fur-
ther, he turned down a lane leading from the main
road. He had not gone far before the prisoner seized
Lim by the collar, and, by the ..Issistance of another
lain, threw him on the ground. They immediately
pat their knees on his breast, and took his watch and
some money then in his pockets. This action was
accompauied with so much violence that one of the,
ribs of the prosecutor was broken. The person of the
prisoner's companion being unknown, no proeeedings
were taken for his apprehension. '1 he next day, as
the prosecutor knew the residence of the prisoner, he
went _there and demanded his watch. This was
refused. A warrant was then obtained, and the
prisoner taken into custody.
Witnesses were called on the part of the prisoner.
who swore that, on the night in question, the prose-
cutor had given his watch to a woman for certain
favours which she had granted him.
The Learned Judge, having summed up the evi-
detice• remarked, that in a case of this description, it
was the peculiar province of the Jury to decide be-
tween the contradictory statements made on the pre-
sent occasion. If, on duly weighing the different
evidence adduced by the several witnesses, any rea-
sonable doubt remained in their minds of the guilt of
dm prisoner, it would be proper to acqnit him ; mid
they ought not to convict him, unless they were per-
fectly convinced of the prisoner's guilt. But if they-
were of opinion that the story told by the witnesses
on the part of the pi isener was a fabrication, then
their verdict must depend on the evidence for the pro-
secution ; but if they thought that it was a sufficient
contradiction to the evidence produced by the prose-
cutor, they must acquit the prisoner.
The Jury immediately acquitted the prisoner.
John Brown and Charles Smith were indicted for
stealing on the 29th of August, a gold watch,

BOW-STREET.
CHRISTMAS-DAY.
Magistrates of this establishment, in conseqnence of
the number of night charges that are merle during this festive
season of the rear, determined to sit this day after the church
morning sersieewas concluded, for the purpose of holding
a kind of watch-insist delivery cif all the unfortunate eights
and wringer wholiad been iocarcenited on Christmas-eve for
kicking up rows, eiskinz assaults, and committing other noc-
turnal inisitenteators, which are generally the consequence
of an exuberance of feeling, occasioned by extra doses ul
Whitbread's 'testi/ wet, and Deady's and Thompson's blue
ruin !
The Magistrates took their seats a little after one o'clock,
and very quickly disposed of most of the charges, which were
totally uninteresting. The following case occupied a portion
of their Lime :
A MODERN APOSTLE!
A strange little fellow, whose egure was as finest burlesque
of the manly form as can be well conceived, whose person at
its estretnest height could nut he more than four feet six
engirt, whose dress was perfectly of the antique style, and
resembled nething of the present age so much as the ap-
parel ul a Greenwich pensioner, wild white flowing locks and
lank skinny hollow cheeks, probably the effect of lung fast•
sag and prayer, who, in fact, was what may be termed a
travelling, or itinerant,l theological quack dotter ; an igloo-
/wines w Ito required to be taught rather than to have set him-
self up as the teacher of others, was brought to this office by
Herring, a Hew-street patrol, charged with having created a
mab in the street that morning by presetting upon various
topics connected with religion, law, and politics.
The prisoner Who slated that it was out the tint time be
had been " in bonds," and had suffered " for his eseaster's
sake," speared before the Magistrates Mr. Minshull and Mr.
flails," glorying" in his "persecution." He was foetid by the
police is King -street, Parliament-street, haranguing about
360 pennons. In-his address to his bearers be spoke of the
Cato! Lotion as " the wicked Cely," and his strong pro-
vincial dialect ilienetinses excited loud laughter. He said
that he was sent by " his jegther" to pradie to them, mad
" they wnuld Ohs illimined as sure as old Lucifer fell from the
grate or God's pewaslece if they debit believe ie his being
miesioned by his devise meatier to sprade the Compel." He
then sbuok the dust from his feet, and exclaimed, " Wue
unto the CO, that has rejected thy seremit," and stated, that
he had been impriamsed eight times in the City of London for
preaching, and that "God would cut them off from his
heritage ! ' •
During this address the prisoner stood upon the edge of the
curb stone, and before him stood an ass, upon which be
jourtied, it was stated, from village to village, and town to
town, to call the " unconverted." His ass had a new saddle
mad bridle upon it, and a leather portmanteau was attached to
the fiont of the former. An oil case cloak, gaiters, and hat-
cover, were amongst his travelling wardrobe. Whikt ho was
in the midst of. a Moat fervent exhortation the police
officers rushed into the crowd, and seized him, and con-
veyed him and his ass to Bow-street office. Ho groan-
ed, and the ass brayed. On the way, be told the officers
who had arrested him, that domsalion would be their
reward, for having dragged him to prison; and that God
would raze the city of /emote for its great and manifold wick-
edness! His denunciations against the "lint city in the
world" attracted great crowds; be called the officers thieves,
and exclaimed "No Whigs!" and " Look to your Bishops I"
The prisoner's ass was taken to a stable during his ezanuna-
lion, which was asfullows:—
Mr. Minshull.—What is your name ?
Prisoner.—My name is James Yandall.
Mr. Minshull.—Why do you go about the streets creating
a mob? you know you base no right.
Prisoner—l hare a right; lam sent by my feytherr to pro-
claim his word abroad. I pracked last 1-esies Day in Smith-
field, and I shall do my fegther's work wherever it shall
plays the Lela to direct me.
Mr. Minshull.—l shall be obliged to commit you, if you
don't promise to desist from acting unlawfully; and fassure
you I have no wish to send you to prison. I hope you will
promise me not to create a mob in the streets again, and I will
set you at liberty.
Prisoner—l will precis where lam called ; and it is a higher
power than that of jacks in office that will support me. I
will not promise. I have been eight times sent to prison by
the City Justices ; and I pray ye to send me to imps's! onmeot.
Mr. Minshull—l have no wish to send von to prison; and
if you say you will not preach again, I will discharge you; I
bare no desire to send you fur the ninth time to gaol.
The prisoner begged to be sent to prison ; be wished to be
a martyr in the cause of truth and purity.
The Magistrate ordered the prisoner to be taken out of the
Office ;• and alter an admonition, be was set at liberty.
His ass was restored to him by the officer ; and on taking
his lea ve,ho said that lie should go racking again .in Parlia-
ment-sheet, and they would sec who was the strongest,
God or the Justiees. He did not take thousands out of the
pockets of the starving poor, like the Bishops • he peached
the glad tidings of pace and salvation, without tithe or fro;
he followed Ch Hat's' exanvple,in the true 'peril of Christianity.
This most singular puritanical professor of theology then
whipped his ass, and bid adieu to Bow-street.

MARY-LE-BONE.
On Tuesday Jonathan Wilson, the man who was remanded
on a charge of defrauding a nery aged Ladv. named Him:ley,
of a sum of ssul. Navy 4 per Coat. Annuities, by obtaining
her signature to a power of attorney, and withdrew the
money without her consent, .was brought up for final exami •
station. The prisoner had been previously examined on this
serious charge ; he has since that time been subsequently
brought up, and as often at the request of either party again
remanded.
The general outline of the case is as follows :—Mrs. Ding-
ley, the prosecui rix, being possessed of a sum of sari. Navy
4 per Cents., imparted the circumstance to the prisoner, and
confiding in his honesty took him with her once or twice to
the Bank to receive her di. idend, and promised him at her
decease the money should remain for his children ; prisoner,
however, thought be would secure the fund before her death,
supposing the old adage to be the best, " A bird in the hand
is worth two in the bosh." Having obtained the money by
indirect means through a power cdattorney, which be got the
ptosecutris to sign at a time when she lay almost insensible,
and not knowing what she was doing, he drew the money
from the Bank and absconded having previously left with
the old lady twenty or twenty-five sovereigns. The wife of
the prisoner being concerned at his absence called with other
persons at the Bank, and likewise on the prosccutrix, to
Medlin if the money was taken out ; suspicions were raised,
and upon an application at Ibis office a warrant was granted,
and the prisoner the next evening was taken into custody.
Previous to his final examination taking place the prisoner
bad sent a letter to the prosecutrix, offering tool. to settle the
matter,and intimating at the same time he would forward it as
a 111414 of honour, and as ma it ought to be accepted. It is
almost needless to say that such terms of treaty were not
accepted.
On Tuesday the prisoner was brought np for final exami-
nation, when Mr. Harmer attended us his solicitor.
The only fresh evidence adduced in addition to what has
been already stated was that of a nurse who attended the
prosecutrix ; she spoke as to the infirm state of the prosecu.
tri ,and heard bersay the day after the prisoner had prevailed
upon, her to attach her name to the power of attorney, that
he bad gone away with all her money.
A gentleman named Main is eriog, clerk to Davies and Tay.
tort stockbrokers, residing in Bartholomew-lane, said the
prisoner came to the oßice on the lath of last August, stating
that the prosceutrix's money was to he made, over to him,
and wished a power of attorney to be drawn up, intinsatiug,
at the.!tame time, tbatAarosecutrix was unable to come on
account of inlit 'DAY. The power was accordingly obtained,
obd delivered to his, who proctored the signature, and the
mosey was taken out of the Bank, amounting to 3131., and de-
livered to the prisoner. The witness further stated that they
would not have drawn up the power on the prisoner's asser-
hoe, but that they had previously seen him at tbo Bank with
the proseeul rix.
The prisoner, upon being called upon, declined saying any
thing.
The Magistrate said be considered it a most wicked trans-
action ; the poor old woman intended very well for the pri-
soner and his family, and he must therefore be oommitted for
using the power of attorney fraudidenUy.
The prisoner was therefore fully committed fur trial, and
the parties hound over to prosecute.
After the prisoner had been removed from the bar, a friend
of the prosecutria's asked the Magistrate whether the money
would be restored to her ; to which the Magistrate replied
that he considered it would.

produeedtv the officer, and was satisfied they were amongst
the rest in the glass. The prisoner had been once before de-
tected by leis son in attempting to break open the same glass,
and the window bail been broken three times during the last
week.
Hayhank said, when he took charge et the prisoner he said
I he lived in Totteoham-court-road, but refused to tell what
number.
The prisoner declined giving any account of himself, but
said he was of respectable friends and connexions; be de-
elated they all had falsely accused him; he was merely look-
ing in at the window, as well Is many others, when he was
suddenly seized, and improperly charged with the felony.
He knew nothing of the seals or necklace.
Mr. Stone was positive Bo person was near him, except a
suspicious looking fellow, probably an accomplice, who came
up and ran away when he saw him seized. He was very much
agitated when secured.
The Magistrate expressed his surprise at the declaration
made by the prisoner, when the evidence was so clear and
satisfacitory ; but if he expected such defence would serve
him he should have the benefit of it ; ■nd the Clerk was or-
dered to take down his words in writing.
This being done, the prisoner was fully committed for trial,
and the parties bound over to prosecute.

lane to Newbury and return, one hundred and twelve miles
in twenty-eight hours. He reached Hounslow at a quarter
before three o'clock, and was at Maidenhead•bridge, twenty-
sic miles, at siz o'clock. He passed through Try ford,

JOSHUA HUDSON, AND WELLS THE BATH MAN.
It bad been whispered about in the sporting circles, that a
plant !rein Bath had arrived in London, to take the shine
out of some of the Satic heroes of the London ring. Josh.
and the new candidate for lighting fame fell in oitb eat+
other on Tuesday night at a jovial party, when after plenty
of chaffing Josh. became jealous of • rival, and off he doled
his toggerg, and gave the Bath man a punch in the head,
which he was too good to take quietly. The parties retired
to a chosen spot, peeled, and turned to. Harry Holt second.
ed Josb., and Mason the Balk maa.
• sorry battle of tbirly-five minutes followed, although
neither of the men were in right condition. Josh., in his
usual bull-dog form, went up to his adversary's head, and
dealt out punishment, but lie found in 11411 s a man not easy
to ho shook ult. Josh. was parried and returned upon, and
both went down.
2. Josh. led in this round, but he was thrown a heavy cross-
buttock.
The next four rounds produced something like equal fight,
both proving hialt-eouraged ones. The claret bustled about •
freely, and the men got tired. Josh. was thrown heavily'
again at the end of the sixth round, and lamed in the knee.
7. Josh. went limping to the scratch, and bit away under
great disadvantages, but be was too good to give way. He
placed a rattling lacer on his adversary, o ho threw him, and
that seemed, at this stage of the light, to be his aim.
In the 10th round the gallant Josh. managed to reduce vic-
tory to a tolerable certainty ; ho rattled away and did smart
execution. It was Newgate to a seoutlien.
it and it. Josh. had his work to do, and he was thrown
heavily in the last of these rounds.
'rho tali settled the business; Josh. hit his ad y on
the mark where the remains of two pounds of solid bad been
deposited, and he gave in.
The fight was for pure love and glory, and Hudson won it
under great disadvantages.
