assaulta:d him in For.-street. He stated, that the prisoner had
struck hien a violent blow, without any provocation, that he did

redress. The young man made every apology for his imprudent
conduct, assuring his Lordship he did not know at the time the
than he had insulted was Mr. Crib the fighting man : he was
sorry for what he had done, and was wiring to make every apo-
logy, which he did, and was discharged.
MARI.BOROUGH-STRF.ET.
Monday, William Lester, manufacturer of agricultural imple-
ments, was charged with having embezzled monies to the
amount of a thousand pounds and upwards, entrusted in his
hands, as Overseer of Paddington parish, in 1810. It appeared ,
in evidence that the defendant had omitted to make up his ac-
counts to his successor in office, within 14 days, as specified by •
the Act of the 37th of Geo. 11. On being pressed so to do, he
decamped, and was afterwards taken into custody in the neigh-
bourhood of Croydon. None of the money has been refunded ;
and the prisoner was committed to Newgate without bail, to
remain agreeably to the Act stated, until he shall regularly
make over his books, and account for the deficiences.
Cecil &sr/op, alias Graham. underwear a ,final examination,
on the same day, at this Office, on the charge of poisoning The
Dandy and other horse.. The evidence against him is, that ne
was at Newmarket a fortnight before the horses were poisoned,
by the assumed name of Graham ' • that he often made enquiries
about the poisoned horses, and that on three occasions he re-
turned rather liver than usual to his lodgings, and was particular
in washing his hands, which only happened on,the three nights
named. Under these circtunsc!nces,, ,Atitia,icitne slight
addi-
tional ones, the prisoner was fully committed to Cambridge

ROADERY OF LADY CAMPRELL.—P.Fhard Rippin, who stands
charged with stealing a box, containing tiinkets and jewels, the
property of Lady Campbell, to an enormous amount ; and John
Pekin!, a jeweller, with whom the prisoner lodged, wlio is
charged with receiving the same, knowing it to have been stolen,
were on Tuesday finally examined. pippin is the hackney coach-
man in whose coach the property was placed, and at the first
examination several articles were produced which were found in
Pollard's house, and others which he had sold, and which Miss
Farrin, Lady Campbell's •maid, swore to. Other articles were
produced on Toesday, and a novel circumstance occurred Juring
the examination. William Jones, a jeweller, who had bought a
ring of Pollard in which one of the stolen stones was mounted,
gave evidence to that effect at the List examination, and it was
ascertained by tile officers who have the business in hand, that
Jones not only permitted this r:ng to go out of his possession, but
he had also had alhc simile made, which none hut one skilled in
the trade could tell from the original. On this being communi-
cated to the Magistrate, Foy accompanied the prisoner home,
and got possession of both rings. Jones's excuse was, that he had
received an order for a ring of er the original, and he was bound
over to give evidence at the Old Bailei, and the prisoners wei-e
.fully committed for teal.
BURGLARY AND RODBERY.—Some time since the house of
Colonel Wouding, in Duke-street, Manchester-square, was
broke open and robbed of plate to the amount of about one
hundred pounds. Every inquiry has since been made without
effect, until a few daes since, when a maid servant, at a house
adjoining the Colonel's, threw sufficient light on the subject as
to cause the apprehension of the footman in the family, by John
Foy, and ales a jatiriey;ran painter, an acquaintance of the
footman. The servant maid's evidence was, that she was clean-
ing the step of her master's door, when she observed Colonel
Wonding's door open, and a variety of plate on the benches in
the servants' hall, which she thought strange, but took no fur-
ther noiire at the time ; she saw a man leave the house, who
afterward stopped in the street, and tied his shoes, but she could

From this discovery, it was ascertained amongst the servants
that the juin n,yinati painter had visited the footman on the
evening preceding the robbery, hut it. was 11:*: generally known
