Before the Lotto Cater' Bs Ron, Mr.
,7astiA LAW-
a ENCE, and Mr. Justice ROOKE.
Francis Vert was capitally indided for stealing a
silver watch, four carronic handkerchiefs, three pair
of silk stockings, and other articles, the prePerty of
the lion. Henry Augustus Dillon.
The Honourable Henry Aitgustos Dillon de-
posed, that the Prisoner had come into his service
AS valet, about a year since, and having received an
extraordinary good cnaradler with him, he entrusted
him with the entire management of his house in
York-street, Baker•stteet; but latterly, having misl-
ed several articles, and his fellow-servants having
made a complaint against the Prisoner, 1w was in-
duced to susped him, and, therefore, applied fort
and obtained a search warrant. A Police Officer
was called in, who, on opening the Prisoner's trunk,
found in his presence the watch, handkerchiefs, and
stockings, stated in the indidment.
Juliet Burke, housekeeper to Mr. Dillon. said,
that the watch had been hung up in her room, for
the purpose of regulating the servants, as there
was no clock in the house. When she missed it, she
applied to the Prisoner, to know had he taken it.
He said he had left it at his master's watchmaker's,
for the purpose of being repaired. Having reason
to snsped the Prisoner's honesty, she went to the
watchmaker's, and was told that no such watch bad
been left there. In consequence of this, she again
spoke to the Prisoner about it, and told him she had
made enquiry at the watchmaker's. He own told
her not to trouble herself about it, that it was not
worth a farthing. and by knew nothing of it.
Major Morgan, with whom the Prisoner had liv-
ed before he came into. the service of Mr. Dillon,
gave him an excellent character.
The Jury found him (Sanity of stealing under 40s.
and he was sentenced to be transported for seven
years.

tried for stealing a Bill of Exclii,ii „A„„

would discount bills to any amount ; in consequence
of this, he wrote up to the advertiser. from Great
Mal low, is Buckinghamshire, where he lived ;
and received an answer from Merton, telling him
that he would meet him on a particular Stay at
High Wycombe. The meeting took place; Mer-
ton wanted to get the bill, and promised to send
the money upon it down to Mr. Ticifen ; the latter
would not let the bill out of his possession ; but he
agreed to meet Merton in London. He accordingly
came up to town, and mi:t him at the White Hone
Cellar, in Piccadilly: and while he had the bill
held out in his hand, Merton snatched it suddenly
from him, said he wanted to step into St. James's
Street, arid would be back in an instant, but never
retn:ned any more.
