Remise, otherwise Smith, of Peitieum.lane. st it 1
that the Prisnuer called •pots him, and commit/wried wr
with him i■ such a way as cave bins re-suir to strop. r t ih •t
the Prisoner was himself the person who hid :reknit), siolrit
She watch; he had promised to call oa witness a. or ro,cl
time, and his nut having done au greatly increased the sus-
picious of witness: wailer these cirensuatances, he did tr II
the Prosecutor that he believed the Prisoner was the 'Li. f.

Smith,au uflicer,said that he was called in by the Pro.e-
reitor,st the public-house in a Wirer *wet, but be ...a 9.41
drunk and so violent in his mutoutr, that after havio_ a
squabble, he refused to have any more to do with him 11*
lava was the more incline II nut ler iota, re, because the Pr...
aerator having declared th.it he bad" two or three r
affairs" (riots) in the streets, witoess Ilitenht it lilrly ti, ut
the watch was lost in urea them.
The Lord Mayor said, that after hearing all the evidenc.,
he saw nu reeoutot for implicstiog the Prisoorr. Thu re euuus
neither proof Nor probability spinet him. His Loudsle p,
therefore, ordered the Prisoner to be discharged, to the v'-
dent dissslisfaceion of the Prosecutor.

A person of the name of klachalone, a man.iirrvaut, was
brought op, charged by a Mr. Bland with having atule•.. a
dog, %Melt he(tle Bland) highly valued.
Mr. Bland staled, that he traced the dug too stable ; th, t
he fouled the dog there with his collar oi, and G•und the
Prisoner in the stable. Flat ketone told witness th ii it was
not he, but one of his felluw.servanta who had slut•n the
dug. On witness demanding the collar which the dug had
worn round his neck. the Prisoner, after somegnibbline sad
hesitation, coufessed that he had the collar, and took it out
of his pocket.
The Gentleman who employed Plarkatone was neat Pl..
Word. He did nut, he said, gu to defend e•r to encase the
evaded of the Prisoner in ibis instance; hut hr went to
declare that the Prisoner had been in his service fur a 'try
consideraMe time. that lie bad never know• bin to have,
been guilty of any theft, or of any impropriety a/haulier ;
t►at instil the present instance, he had never known the Pri-
soner to have hewn charged with miscutoluct. The wit.
Ness concluded by hoping that the cireunuit•nee of ch.iracter
would hairs some weight with his Lordship, and that
would sot have him indicted fur a felony.
The Lord Mayor said, that in this instance the gnud
character given of the Po is.iner would certainly kin due
weight is emulating the sentence he was about to pro-
nounce. It was must fortunate fur the Prisoner that his
master had come forward us his behalf; had he not done
an, hie Lordship said he world limn sent him to i.e It,. it
where his °from would have been visited with ass. re pt..
nlshment. He world now give him ma opportunity .it les
grieving his chancier; hot st the same time be could not
permit him to go altogether unpunished—he would thee dons
cite him in the sum of 401.
