OLD B.IILEr.

TUESDAY, Nor. 10.
The whole of the trials having been gone through, at 12
o'clock sentence of death was passed upon the following 24
prisoners, four of whom have been convicted of uttering
forged bank notes :William Digby alias Cripps, John Evans,
Gilbert Warren (forgery), William Holt, Patrick Leeson. 'l'.

William Parsons, John Leonard (forgery,) Susannah Leonard
(forgery), Susannah Farmillo (forgery,) Stephen Merris,James
Deunis, and Mary Hall.
A Jury of Matrons was sworn in to ascertain whether Mary
Hall, upon whom sentence of death had been passed, was or
was not with child. The jury retired, and on their return,
reported that she was with child. The judgment upon Mary
Hall was therefore respited.

following prisoners :—Marsh Brown, Henry Hawkins, Wm.
Clarke, Hugh Corrie, John Carter, John Ray, James Edwards:
Thomas Little, William Bingley, John Teaks, George Brooks,
Edward Farrenond Mary Brown.

in the Fleet, and convicted of manslaughter, wassentenced to
one year's imprisonment in Newgate.
No fewer thenlB prisoners were sentenced to eleven years'
transportation. Several other prisoners were sentenced to
lighter punishments.
'rile sessions then adjourned until Wednesday the ad of
December nut.

It appears by a return presented to the Howe of Commons
(and which wu ordered to be printed on the Stb of June
last), that the number of criminal offenders committed for
trial in England and in Wales, daring the last thirteen years,
has in d in the last year to more than triple the number
of the former year; that the number sententred to dea' wise
nearly in the like proportion; but tait the Sumba' of 'mien-
lions was not one-half in proportion to the somber so gen-
tenced.—•Tbe numbers were as follow :
In the years 1805 and 1817.
Committed for trial 4.6n5 13,03 t
Sentenced to death
Executed 65 115
being I in b, in 1806—and 1 in 11, in 1811.

The messenger of as apothecary in Kentish Tows, who
was employed to carry medicines about to the several pa-
tients of his muter, bad, on the Oth of Novether, purchased
a quantity of squibs, two dozen of which he had pot into his
breeches pocket. As he went along, he !et one of them off,
bin unfortunately some of the sparks thereof coming in con.
tact with the touch paper of those in his breeches pocket,
almomst instantaneously set them in a blue. The boy was
terrified, did not put his hand into his pocket for fear of burn-
ing it ; in vain did he call to the bystanders, for they were
equally terrified with himself. Shortly. a tremendous es.
plosion was heard, and the spectators were shocked by
the horrible sight of his bowels gushing from his abdomen.
The shrieks of the boy roused the beholders at length to a
sense of charity, and lie was shortly after carried to St. Tho-
mas's Hospital, where he now lingers with very slender hopes
of his recovery.

FEMALE Comtacc.—On Thursday evening man who had been
observed lurking about Newington for several hours, got peer the
fence of a gardeo belonging to Mr.. Webb, Prospect hew, where va•
riuus articles of linen were hanging out to dry. Catherine. the
daughter of Mr. Webb, about 19 years of age, perceiving him in the
act of taking the property from the lines, went into the garden ; the
thief upon bet approach attempted to escape over the wall, but was
foiled in the endeavour by the courage of Miss Webb, who seized
him by the collar, and held him fast till her father arrived to her
assistance. The name of the robber is Win. Sherwood. Upon being
taken before a Magistrate, he was committed for trial.
Tim Goon SEMIBOUIL—The following droll circumstance
lately. occurred in the north of the metropolis :—A lady, probably
very ignorant of what was passing is her own house, was, as she
thought, and hail reason to think, from het uawearied vigilance
perfectly acquainted with all the domestic economy of her neighbours.
It happened that by a long and diligent observation of the proceed-
ings in an opposite mansion, occupied by a foreign nobleman, she
had ascertained beyond a doubt that the footman went to bed in the
maid servant's room. To be convinced of error, and to lose no time
in correcting it. is the grace of virtue. A letter. charged with these
suspicions. was immediately dispatched to the Count, who wrote her
a very polite answer. stating how much he was obliged to her for the
lively interest she took in the morality of his family. that he would
forthwith institute an inquiry into the matter, and put a speedy end
to any impropriety he might discover; but he begged leave to ob-
serve, that he had hitherto understood it to be the custom of this
country far a man and wife to gimp together.

ACCIIEWTS TO MAIL (7oacitr.a.—On Monday morning the
driver of the Edinburgh mail, while at Huntingdon, having left the
box, the horses suddenly ran oft; but had not proceeded far before
the leaders both fell, arid were soon secured, and no material injury
sustained. A similar occurrence took place the mime morning at
Greethatti : but we are sorry to say was attended with more serious
consequences. The horses of the Glasgow mail took fright, and the
driver, running up to stop them, made a sudden snatch at the reito,
but was thrown down in the attempt ; and the wheels passing over
his neck, he died in a few hours. Both mails were nearly an hour
behind their usual time of arriving at Grantham. it is worthy of
remark, that both these instances of culpable neglect, which might
have been far more extensively fatsl.•occuetwt nearly about the
same time, and to a description of coaches supposed to,ofter peculiar
security to travellers against accidents.

Messrs. James and Richard Tillyer, of Harmondsworth,
Middlesex, having recently taken Stanwell Park Farm of
Sir John Gibbons, the season being far advanced, their neigh-
bours spontaneously resolved to give them one day's work
with their respective teams, to facilitate the progress for
wheat s accordingly between 6 and 7 o'clock on the morning
of Tuesday week last, 126 team, comprising 489 horse* and
a capital yoke of oxen, the property of Mr. Sherborn, at.
tended by a proper number of labourers, assembled on the
farm, with every implement of husbandry requisite for the
occasion. At seven o'clock the ploughmen commenced their
allotted tasks, and the following work, upon 100 acres of
land, was performed within the extraordinary short time of
six hours and a half :—The whole 100 acres skilfully ploughed,
of which 60 acres were sown with wheat, and YO acre's% ith
tares ; and the 150 acres harrowed and, rolled. The whole
was completed in a workmanlike manner ; and it is particn.
lady worthy of notice, that the first twenty sores were
ploughed in one hour. The day having been unusually fine,
drew together a great number of distinguished agriculturists
and highly respectable yeomen, to witness this interesting
scene ; among the gentlemen present were observed Mr.
Wood, of Littleton. and Mr. Rae, of Ashford. All parties
testified their unqualified approbation at the regularity with
which the business was conducted, from the commencement

to the termination ; indeed the judicious previous err:lngo-
ments prevented any confusion. On the teams leaving the
beldolie servants were each respectfully presented with a
gratuity, independent of a substantial lunch and plenty of
ale. It was observed with pleasure, that nut of so many
husbandry servants not au oath or blasplientons expression
was heard during the proceeding. The labours of the day
being finished, a party of nearly 60 of the friends of Messrs.
Tillyer adjourned to an inn, where a plentiful dinner was
served up with good wines and an excellent desert.
HOWARD THE PHIL ANTHRopIAT.—When travelling OD
the Continent he performed the greater part of his jimmies

never stopping on the road but to change horses, until he
came to the town he meant to visit ; travelling, if necessary
to the effecting his purpose, the whole of the night ; and
