Mr. Hone is a gun-maker, and on the evening of the

forret, on his way home, when at the corner of Gould-

/timid the dour of the house. He stopped to learn what

tier men, among whom were the peisosiera. They seized

through the window. Cocks at this time had hold of
his arms, and Danis was very busy Ovum his person.—
Whet' he called out as described they let him go. The
prisoners were moving off, when a mast who bad oh.
served them, said " There they go." Witness followed
and seized Davis by the collar, and said, " Young men,
where is my watch?" and Davis, without replying—si
struck hint on the mouth, and knocked hint down.
—Witness called out for help, and saw Cooks advance
towards 11141,, and at the same moment lie received a
blow on the aide of the head. which had again brought
hint in the ground, but he kept hold of Davis, and
contrived to seize bold of Cocks. They all fell together.
He continued to call out for assistance, and two of the
Bow-street dismounted patrole came up and secured the
'trimmers. They were searched, but the watch was out

Richard Seywoocl, a baker's apprentice, swore that
lie was passing at the time, and saw Cocks- bare hold

Mr. Baron Graham summed up at great length, and
alter a short deliberation, one of the Jury asked the
learned Judge whether it was COMIWItIII lon thew to

guilty of the assault only.
Mr. Baron Graham replying in the negative, the Jury
alinoA ethane', acquitted Mtn.

the prisoners lodgings, and the hat upon Gibson's head.
1 he prisoners were all found guilty—Death.
Mr. Justice Park, addressing the prisoners, said, there
were three other indictments against them ; but he
thought it unnecessary, alter the satisfactory verdicts that
had been given, to proceed with 'heal. The prisoners
were in 'dandy a desperate gang of burglars, who had
made it the business of they lives to pion der all that
they could. Ile would, therefore, strongly and most
earnestly recommend them to turn their serious attention
to the awful situation its which. they stood.
TRIAL OF INS NOTORIOUS BILL Soataes,.—William
(alias Bill) &MIMS was inuicted for stealing a silk hand-
kerchief trout lite person of Edward S.eck.
Between the hours of six and Steen o'clock on the
evening of the la instant, John Woodward, servant to
Sir John Lubbock, was passing through Newgate-street,
when lie saw the prioorter, in company with a well.
dressed woman' watching the pockets of *etersl passen•
gels. lie kept his eye upon them, and at length sew
brumes put his hand into Mr. Sieck's pocket and take
out a handkerchief. Ile seized St/.lllleS, who hail
the handkerchief in his hand. and endeavoured to
get it from him, Lut-the inter put himself in an attitude
to strike hint, and the wawa') at the same time came up
and said, •• what do you want with the man?" and
'Hatched the handkerchief from SUAUICS. She gut away,
but the prisoner was seemed.
• The prisoner, in his defence, said he was totally hum.
cent, and adverted to the circumstance-of his having for.
wed, been " unfortunate,' which, however, he hoped
would not prejud:ce hint with the honouraule and en-
lightened gentlentera before whom he was IIOW tried.
The Jury found him guilty.
' The Recorder ordered itim to be called up for judge
meat, and said no one could doubt of the propriety of
tile verdict which. the Jury had given. The prisoner had
run a long course of crime, but Justice, as was-generally
the case, had overtaken him at last. Without further
observation, for observation would be useless with such a
'tan as the Court knew the prisoner to be, the sentence
was, that he be transported beyond the seas.for the term
of his natural life.

The Recorder called up Woodwardoend thanked him
in the name of the public for the promptitude and cou-
rage vehicle he had displayed upon this occasion.
Fittnae, Fee. 2l.—Mary AnnSlosha young woman
of most interesting appearance, aced :as' and Jane Par-
rott, smell 55, were indicted, the liaritter fur having stolen
151. iu bany notes, from the dwelling home of Mr. H.
Kemp, her uncle, and the latter fur receiving the same-
(in tile county of Surrey) knowing them w be stolen.
The last named primmer was not pin on her trial, her
offence having been committed, in Surrey; she was,
therefore, remanded until the next Kingston assizes.
The prisoner Sloat remained at the bar—and her ap-
pearance, and the nature of her misfor e, excited the
commiseration of a Court unusually crowded with fe-
males.
It appeared by the evidence of Mr. Kemp, which-was
given with great reluctance and pungent sorrow.• that
the prisoner was a branch of a must respectable family,
and his niece; she generally resided with him, and until
this inifortuivetc occurrence her conduct was most exem-
plary; but in an evil hour she was inveigled from the
path of rectitude and virtue by the woman with • whom
she stood indicted. :laving succeeded by stratagem in
enticing her unfortunate victim from that dwelling where
virtue atitl• happiness were the peaceful inmates, she
took an early opportunity of inducing her to vim her
respectable cu iiiiiiiiiiii and commit depredations on
their property. By the Influence of threats she went to
her Uncles, broke open his desk, and committed the
offence with which site now stood charged. An officer
was despatched to quest of the unhappflugitive, all. she
was found in a house of the worm description in St.
George's-fields, kept by the prisoner Parrott—the dis-
gusting mutual intercourse of bow sears the odicer wit-
timed on this occasion we forbear to describe.
'Die Jury found the prisoner guilty, but earnestly im-
plored the merciful interposition of the Court.
The Recorder assured them that the strictest attention
should be paid to their request.
Tote Judges entered the Court at ten o'clock. when
William Bungley was placed at the bar, charged with the
willul murder of George Durham.
Elizabeth Williams deposed, that she saw the deceased
at the George, George-yard, Whitechapel, on the 25th
of January, about one o'clock in the day; prisoner was
also there on that day ; deceased used very disrespectful
language respecting she prisoner (who was then absent),
observing, among other things, that he wr.uld give bin
a good hiding. When prisoner came, witness informed•,
him of what deceased had said; they both met at the
mine place in the evening, when a quarrel arose. which
was proinoted by Durham; prisoner said he would give
him a good beating,. but he knew deceased would take
advantage of the law;. deceased declared he would not,
and the fight commenced; prisoner received the first
blow,.which knocked him down ; the battle proceeded,
and ended in the fatal catastrophe which formed the
subject of the present charge.
Other witnesses who were present at the contest gave
similar testimony. By their evidence, it appeared mat
the unfortunate deceased was the promoter of the quart
eel.

Jahn Durham, the fatherof die deceased, slated that
on the night int question his son Caine hostile with his
skull fractured, and was•frum thecae conveyed the next
day, to the London klospital, where lie sholy died.;
deceased observed that he had received his eath•blow
White lie went to the hospital.
Deceased said the night he same home, he.was sure
17e should die, and requested witness Ow lather) to go
and get the prisoner apprehended; alter he went to the
hospita►, he requested to 094111 C home to die.
Mr. Pollen, a pupil at the Landon Hospital, stated;.
he examined the head of the deceased, when brought
'to that establishment; he considered the contusion was
occasioned by a vole's' fall ; whets he first saw it, lie
did not apprehend the la►al result; the wound pad even
a healthy appearance two days befoic he died ; tvittless

never heard the deceased express any apprehension of
death.
Mr. Lewis Evans, another pupil, stated, that germ
the 3o is of January to the 4th LA February, he attended
the decaased ; after his death he opened Inc head and
f I a contused wound, which might hare been in-
flicted by a blow or a IJII ; the versels in the regiorrof
the brain were full, but no blood ; the ryniptoute were
simply of an inflammatory nature; he had no doubt
but the wound occasioned the death of the deceased.

The prisoner made no defence.
Mr. Hanna Graham addressed the Jury, and observed, •
that the case fell In, short of wilful murder. It was, •
therefore, the question fur them to consider, whether
the prisoner had, by feloniously sulking, been goal of •
manslaughter.
Verdict—Guilty of manslaughter.
Sarah Stubbing*, aged 17, a girl of very interesting
appearance, was placed at the bar, charged with the
wilful murder of her male itilant child, in the parish of
Si. Pancras.
The Jury returned a verdict of nut guilty.
His Lordship humanely recommended the aunt ter •
take the unhappy girl under her protection.. •
Samiders was indicted for the wilful tawnier of
her female *alerts child, by tying and fastening a certain
piece of silk about its neck, whereby strangulation was •
proluced.
A gentleman. with whom the prisoner had lived as
servant, gave her a good character fur humanity, aud•
said she was remarkably affectionate to children.
Mr. Baron Graham shortly charged the Jury, and ex-
pressed au opinion, that the evidence was insufficient
to fix upon the prisoner se heavy a crime as that of •
murder.
The Jury found the prisoner not guilty, and the was '
discharged.
Buitar.itai..-i-Henry Seaton was capitally indicted
for burglatiuusly breaking and entering the dwelling-
house of Lawson Holmes, and stealing therefrom two •
watches, thirteen sovereigns, aqu yof gold csaiu, •
and other al ticks, the property of Catherine Dale.
Mrs. Dale was a lodger in the house of Mr. Holmes. -
in St. Paul's, Shadwell. She went to church ow a
Sunday evening in January. leaving two young mew, its
Mr. Holines's service, in the house. She had not been
gone long when one of the young men going outside
the door, sew a light in Meat Dales sitting room up •
stairs. • He and the other went up stairs, and when
they got near the door of Mrs. Dales room they heard
an attempt made to open the window inside. They
rushed into the room, and the prisoner turned about
from the window and- advancing towards thew, struck
sue of then, a blow on the side of the head. • They. -
however, secured him, and conveyed him to the watch-
house. When they got him near the street he struggled
to get away, and threw himself down in the snow.— -
This he repeated twice whilst going to the watehhouse..
stud en the spot, where he first 'fell, Dickintow.and
Avery, two of the patrol of Bow Stier', found two
watches and a pair of sleeve buttons, the property of '
Mrs. Dale. A bag, containing seven picklock keys, • -
was round where he fell the second time, and at the
third place some mateheeund a piece of candle were-
picked

'I he prisoner's defence was, that he was never in the
house, and that he w4s collared in the sneer bby
mis-
take for some other person.
Several witnesses gave him a good character, but the •
Jury fouud him•ettilty—death.—AgedV6. •

spent, charging them with hating must vtolently as-
saulted and pumped upon Abraham Aaron, an ARtua

Mr. Andrews, for the prosecution, stated, that• the

would be likely to put an end to a very atisord mid in-
human practice which unfortunately existed for a length '

The case was most clearly proved by several '
noises.
Mr. Arabin, for the defence, allied witnesses to prove
that his clients were not parties to the severity practised •
against the prosecutor.
The deuial, however,to prove an alai with mica to •
eachlof she defendants proved abortive.

has left but a very trifling surplus sti the market. In conse-
quence of the purchasers having hene brck so len!:, they ore now
compelled to come into the market, which, together with the
sinailness of the supply, lw occasioned a rise in Wheat and
Barley, whieh inlay be quoted at an advance of full Ts. per cp.
Oats also are looking up, and some business it.. been done.
Beans and Peas are also m good demand and Inclined to ad-
vance. Some speculations have been tame in Bonded Wheal,
and many inquiries are making for this kind arida.

00IIN EXCHANGE, FRITTAY, Fen. 21.
We are considerably supplied -with all kinds of grain from
Kent and Essex. the Andrei* from those-counties since Monday
having been large. Irisli'Oats likewise have poured in to a large
extent. Business is tolerably brisk this morning, at our quota—
tions weAVesitiesday, which they maintain. without any appear—
ance of a decline. This applies to all grain, with the exception
of Irish Oats. which are of so inferior a quality u to prevent
their going off, sales being effected wstli great difficulty. That*
is nothing doing in Bond. LI Wheat since our last report.
