EXTRACT OF A LETTER :FROM LIEUTENANT' GR E-
BAN, COMMANDER OF THE BTH DIVISION OF
THE FLOTILLA OF THE CHANNEL, TO REAR-
ADMIRAL LATOUCHE TREVILLE, COMMANDER

IN CHIEF OF THE FLOTILLA OF THE CHANNEL,
DATED THE 6TH INST.

‘:‘ The wind which. had so long detained 'the Bth
Division in the Bay of St. Fallery-sqr-S'omme, hay_
ing:become favourable, got under -way -at nine
this morning with a :fine breeze from the South.
My Division consisted of the two Gun-sloops, La
re. azpi"te and L'Enfiammie, and eighteen Gun-boats,
to Which were added_ three other Gun-boats, that
had-not been able to sail at the same time with the
7th Division, when it left that Bay, making in all
twenty-three Vessels tinder my orders.
At the- moment of our departure -there was in
ight an Enemy's Vessel, having three masts,
which the Sentinels on shore informed me, by sig.
nal, appeared to be a Frigate. I did-not think that
the presence of a Frigate ought to.prevent my Sail.
ing. I expe#ed tb be able to pass the Staples be-
fore the Enemy could cone& a superior force, be-
yond. which the coast could afford me the means of
protettion, and situations: in which I could fOrM a.
line,of defence. The Enemy reconnoitred ns, keep-.
ing in our wake; and about two gun-shots dis-
tance from us. The breeze having' fallen, the
appearance of a calm certainly prevented her
from - attacking us in the morning ; but at two
in the afternoon, the wind freshening after a
squall, I perceived by her Manoeuvres that she
intended to attack our, rear. r I made a signal for
all the Division to crowd sail, and with the two
Gun-sloops I dropped astern as . far as the reir of
the line, in order to protect it. The Enemy ,gave
AS a broadside ; we returned it, and' immediately
observed that he shortened sail, and stood off shore.
He then sent out one of his boats, and made
nals. We at the same time observed several sail
to leeward of us' in the N. quarter.' The Ene-
my being appri'feled'orthii reinforcement, returned
to the contest, and :opened his fire at a. distance.
The Division had by this rime doubled the Point
of the Staples. I gave orders for anchoring under,
the land. There remained" Only the two Gin_
vessels, which were obliged to keep a good' offing
in doubling this Point.

"' The Enemy profited by this disadvantageous
position, and came to, attack us within half can-
non shdt. We 'could 'rot return their fire,' and', be-
' sides, we had an interest- in doubling quickly that
Point to rejoin the Boats. We received a shower
or bullets and grape-shot. A 32-pOunder fell in
the kitchen 'of the Gun-vessel La Timpelte, and we
were in an instant covered with ashes three men
were killed and two wounded. We received a ball
in our main-mast, but little Other damage.
" The 'Gun-boat L'Ehilamme'e, commanded by
Citizen' Hl itt LIN, hailed me,. and" I was informed-
that she was in danger of sinking ; I. immediately
ordered her to run on shore. She liad several men
sinking, but Ido not: know the number. We lost
also one clan in the Vessel No. 7, who was killed
by a bullet. The two •Gun_vessels alone returned
the fire of the Enemy, the others were in such a
position that they could not fight. lam inclined,
to believe that we have done mhchMischief to the
Enemy. Twice they endeavoured to, get out of
Action, and at last they lefl'tis, though they were
in a position which would have, enabled them to
have annoyed us.itThe loss which they have sus-
tained, and theresistaike-which we made, will
give them but .§inall hopei-fOr better success in fu-
ture. - At to o'clock we entered Boidogve, 'to thC
number of .zz sail. "I hope that L'Erfiammie will
be able to repair its damage, and that it will join
the Flotilla. The, Enemy will then be convinced.
of the impossibility of
_preventing us from uniting
our other Division."

OLD BAILEY.

FOCRTI-1 DAY!--SATURDAY, SEPT. 19.

Richard Alcorn was indi&ed for steali.ng a Horse,
the property -'of William Henry, Duke of Clarence.
AnOther count in the indktment stated the Horse to
be the property of a Mr. May. Another stated
the property be in John Elfing. Theie different
'ways of stating the property were taken, ter adapt
the indiament to the case as it stood; for the Horse,
at the rime it was sto/en, was at grass at %shy-
Park, of which. His Royal Highness the Duke of
Clarence is the Ranger. Mr. May was the owner
of the Horse. • '

Mr: RAIN opened the case on the part of the
Prosecution, '

,- John Elfing proVed the Horst to have been at
pasture in Bushy-Park. The Horse had been there
all the Spring, and particularly in the month of
June,; and the Witness saw him there wit',in
week of the 3oth of June, and afterwards at the
King's-Head at Twickenham : he was left there to
be owned.
The Horse was traced to Mr. Grey. _ _

Samuel Grey said he kept- the . tap of the Bear
and Staff at Smithfield. On the zoth of June I re-
turned home from the Country, between four and.
five o'clock in the afternoon. It was on the:Friday.
When I came to the yard, I saw-the Prisoner there.
lie had a Horse with a saddle on him. He asked
rne to becOme a. purchaser. I told him. I had no
objeaion; if we could agree. He, asked Me, ten
.round for him. I bid him seven pound. I asked-him,
f the Horse was his own property- ? He said it.
'was. I asked him, how long. he had hal it ? He
said he had had it eighteen months. and upwards.'
After some haggling, the Witness agreed to give.
71. los.' for it, which Was accepted. Then,"
continued the Witness, I brought him to book :
gave him my book for him to put his name and
address in it—l saw him write his name and address
in this book, and here it is, prodticing the picket.
bOok, in which the Prisoner had made an entry as.
folloWs: " June 26th, John Steers; Hanipton Court,
..bay horse, warranted sound, 71. los." -It was a
bay horsel, what we call a brown bay. On the
Wednesday following, I had occasion to go to
Hampton. I inquired after John Steers, there, but
. could not find any such person. I put up at the Bell.
While I was standing there, I saw the Prisoner go
•by the door, along with a Gentleman. immedi-
ately knew him, and spoke to him. I called to him,
but' he did not answer me. I tapt him on .the
shoulder, and he said, " I have not the pleasure of
knowing you—l do not know you." " Did not
you sell me a horse last Friday in Smithfield ?". He
said, " Yes, " Well," said I, " I want
to speak to you about it." He said he was going a
,little way with that Gentleman, and said, " I will
come to-you in half an hour, if you go in." I went
in at the Bell. I staid there three hours and an
half, but he did not come. I saw no more of him
until he was apprehended."
This was the whole of the evidence for the Pro-
seeution.—To meet it, the-Prisoner set up a de,
fence, That he did, indeed, sell the horse and
Make a false entry ; but that he bought' this horse
on the very 'same day in. Smithfield, and gave six
guineas and a half for it, and wishing to, turn it
into profit, sold hini for 71. los. To support this
defence, two witnesses were called they said they
4-aw the Prisoner buy.a horse on the 26th orJune,
about 'two o'clock, in -Smithfield. The first Wit-
! ness, Samuel Ibbetson, said he lived at Hampton_
court ; that' the Prisoner is a-smith and= farrier at'
Hampton, and continued at home in his 'usual line
of business from the 26th until he was apprehended.
Simon Worth, an Assistant to a Sheriff's Officer,
said, that he was in Smithfield Market on Friday
wiih one Randal ; he believed it was the 26th of
June. He saw the. Prisoner, there, "and another man,
and : lame man, with whom he came to St. Bar'tho-
lome*'s Coffee-house, and the Witness, saw him
sell a horse to the Prisoner : they agreed, for six
guineas and a half for it, and the Witness saw the
six guineas and a half paid for it in bank-notes and
cash, in the Coffee-house, and there was a boy lead;
in g tht< horse. •

William
Randal said he saw the lame man, and
he savi,the Prisoner pay for the horse in the. Coffe-
ehouse. It was-a little before or after two o'clock.
Pile sale of the horse by the Prisoner to Gray was
between four and five.]
Several Witnesses from Hampton and the neigh-
bourhood,. where the PriSoner lived, and where he
had carried on the business of a smith and farrier,
attended on his behalf, and gave him -a very good
charaaer. -

• The 'Learned Judge; Mr. Justice LE BLANC,
summed up the, evidence he observed, that if the
evidence given on behalf of the Prisoner was true, it
met the case for the prosecution, and might be re-
ceived as an answer to it. The only. way in that
case, perhaps, to account for the Prisoner's having
made such a false entry was, that. he might have
wished not to be called on again, because he had
sold the horse with a warranty that he was sound,
and he might not wish to abide by thatwarranty.
.The Jury deliberated' for near half an hour, .and
found the Prisoner Gui4y, but recommended him to
mercy.
Mr. justice LE BLANC. " Upon what ground,
Gentlemen, do you recommend him to mercy 1"
. Jury. ." Upon the ground of his former, good cha-
rafter." • ,

Mr, Justice LE BLANC. " I take it for granted
that you do not believe the two Witnesses who, gave
evidence in his favour ?"

Jury. " No, my Lord, we do not."

Wm. Hunt was indieted for feloniously stealing-,
on the zoth of August, .4.01 b. weight of beef, the
property of T. Pugh.
. It appeared, that the piece of beef in question
was exposed for sale on a block near the door of the
Prosecutor's shop, a butcher, near Covent Garden

piece of beef into the shop of one Sharp; a butcivr,
in Windmill-stceet ; and ,the Witness stated-, that,
he remained. there more than 1 quarter of an hour.
About. eleven o'clock in the forenoon, Mr. Pugh
got intelligence of the beef being taken to Sharp's;
accordingly, he repaired: thither, accompanied by an
Officer : they found the Prisoner in-Sharo'S shop;
and the Prosecutor immediately,recognized his beef;
a part of the piece had been cut off; and was hang-
ing up in the shop. Be,charged the Prisoner with
the the 4, which he positively denied, averring
.that he had never seen the piece of beef before.----
Sharp's wife instantly said, that it was he brought
it :there, which, however, he persisted in denying:
he was taken into custody ; and while they were
conveying him to the
,Magistrate, he endeavoured
to get away, and Struck the Officer violently.—
Sharp, the person above alluded to&as prevented.
from -appearing, by his being,. according ,to the
Statement of his wife, arrested shortly after his re-
' turn from attending thc Court on Wednesday.

The Prosecutor described the ,way in•which he
could identify the,piece of beef.
The Prisoner being called o 6 for his defence, 'said,
that he met Sharp, the botcher, near Covent' Gi,r-
den, who employed him to take the piece of beef to
his house in Windmill street, for which he said he
should have six-pence. 'Sharp's wife admitteJ, that
she had paid him, six-pence for bringing the'beef.
The Learned Judge, in the course of his observa.-
tions to the jury-, • pointed their attention to the
circumstance of his having denied my knowledge of
the bed, when apprehended in Sharp's shop. -
The Jun.)/ had very little hesitation in finding:him
Guilty.• •

Thomas Nell and Jchn Phillips were indieted for
burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-
house of- Wm. Belton, and feloniously stealing
therein a variety of articleS„ chiefly of women's
wearing apparel, the 'property' of Robert Clerk.
It appeared, that the Prosecutor, and the Pri-
soner Nell, were Soldiers, arid'' belonging to the
~name Company, in one of the Regiments of Guards
the former was, at the time of.the fact being coin.
mitted, sick arid confined to an Hospital. His' wife
used to wash for Nell. ' They had an apartment in
the ground floor of a house in one of the obscure
streets in Westminster. On the night of the 25th
of July, the Prosecutor's wife did not lye in her
own apartment, but slept with a woman who lodged
up stairs : at ten o'clock,. when she retired, she
locked her room as usual: the next morning she
came down. about seven o'clock, and found the door
ajar, -and a box which contained the greater part.
of-the things laid in the Indictment, had been rifled.
By another line of evidence it appeared, that the
two -Prisoners had been drinking at a •neighbouring
public-house, until -a late hour of the night, on the
25th of July : that at about four‘ o'clock in the
morning, they were met coming down Oxford_
street, -by two of the Patrole : the Prisoner Nell
had a bundle ; Phillips had two smaller ones. The
Officers followed' them into a public-house at the
- -bottom of TottenhamCourt-road, and insisted upon
knowing the contents of their bundles : this led to
a speedy-. deteCtion : on the prisoner Nell were
found two keys, one of which opened. the 'lock of
. the.Yrosectitor's apartment. The articles- weie duly
identified by the Prosecutor's wife. The aggregate
s value of the articles was not laid in the Indittlinent
so high as forty shillings ; .and with respeCt to the
charge of burglary, it, was held'to be done away,
inasmuch as it appeared, that one of the Witnesses,
who lodged in the, house, came in after one o'clock,
on the morning of the 26th, and found the door
fast; they were met by the Patrole about four
o'clock in the morning ; - by their account it had
been then light above an hour, and the place they
were first seen at, was little more than a mile from
the house where the robbery was committed ;' it
was; thetefore, very allowable, and humanely sup-
posed by the• Court, that the entry was made at
such a time in the 'morning, ,as there was light suf..
ficient to distinguish a human countenance, which,
.of course, invalidated the charge of burglary :
Under this suggestion, the Jury found the'Prisoners
Guilty of stealing o'nly..
,_____,
john Lamb,and
.William Sutherland were charg-
ed with a capital offence in burglarionsly breaking
and entering the Workhouse of the Parish of -St.
Mary, Whitechapel, with intent to steal therein.
This Case was, according to the statement of the
Counsel employed by the Prosecutors, one which,
from its peculiar circumstances, could not be, in
adequate legal strictness, substantiated against the
Prisoners. The' indiament upon which the Pri-
soners were charged,' described the, premises which
the Prisoners had. entered, as belonging to different
persons, in separate counts : first to the Trustees •
for the Poor of that-Parish, who by a private ACt
of Parliament were authorized to become Prosecu- ,
tors in such a case ; and secondly, as the dwelling_
ho eof Mr,- Peaty Pinches, the Master 'of the.
Workhouse. It appeared that a cellar which com-
municated with the apartments of Mr. Pinches, the-
Master, had been broken open during the night of
the loth of August. "Some of the inhabitants were
alarmed by the noise,
.and they immediately pro-
ceeded to the place e the Prisoners were found, not •
in the cellar, but as if they had recently escaped
from it, on a stair-case near the spot. The diffi-
culty in the present instance, which the Counsel
said be had to encounter, was the proving that the
stair-case on . which the Prisoners were found,
legally belonged to any of the Parties laid in the
Reco,rd —feeling this impraCticable, he declined
troubling the Court with -any evidence ,upon the
Case. . .

on the morning it was placed thereon, at seven
o'clock, •the Prosecutor went out a little way, and
at his return found the beef had been taken-away.
About twenty minutes after seven, the Prisoner
was seen,.. by
.one of. the Witnesses, taking the

. The Prisoners being called on for their defence,
Meyers'entered into a long circumstantial narrative,
the jett of which was, that Kent obligingly took
him into the boat to convey him to a certain Quay
whither he had occasion to go,' and that 'soon after
he got on board, he lay down under the tarpaulin
to sleep, being up all the over-night ; and as to
the jacket, he knew nothing at -all about it.
Kent only observed that one of the bags had a hole,
when it was put on board.
A number Hof respeaablc Wittesses appeared to
their charaaers. _ _ _

After a very' able and impartial charge from the
RECORDER, the Jury delivered the following ver.
die; Meyers Guilty; Kent Not Guilty. The charge
was laid only ps a single larceny.

for his candour upon the occasion, 'and direded,the

accordingly.

The Counsel then moved the Court that the Pri-
soners might not be discharged, as in addition to
the very suspicious, circumstances in which they
were deteded, various impienzents used in house-
breaking ,were found in their possession ; it was
therefore intended to prefer an indietment against
them for a misdemeanour. •

stealing on

.3 31b. weight of cocoa,
value, 11, t3s,:which, by the first count in the in-
dianient, was laid to be the property of Messrs.
Blancheley and CO. ; in the second; as the property
orMessrS.-Little; and ik the third-count, as that
of persons unknown.
, This Case, on account of a degree of intricacy
that pervaded it, and the great-number of Wit-
-nesses examined, occupied the attention of the Court
a considerable time ; however, its merits are briefly
set forth. in'the following statement.

It appeared that a great quantity in bags had
been:forwarded:from the stores of Messrs. Blanche-
ley 'and C 0.., to the wharf of, Messrs. Little,
Lightermen, to be conveyed by one of their
lighters on board a vessel lying in theltiver, for
the purpose of exportation. The bags were ac-
cordingly put- on board- the lighter, which was
Worked by the Prisoner., Kent, a servant of Messrs.
Little,. and was proceeding to. the 'place of_ its
destination. About nine o'clock Mr. J. Little
happened to be on London-bridge ; he descried his
lighter on its way, but was rather surprized, to see.
,two men on board, when one was sufficient to work
her ; he was also surprised to see that the coco 4,
was covered a tarpaulin, -though the morning:
was very fine. The secolid man, he obserVed to
be the' Prisoner Meyers;who had been some months:
before in his employ. Almost immediately Meyers
stooped down and got under the tarpaulin ; strong-
ly suspeding some foul play, he instantly took boat,
purSued, • and overtook the: lighter ; he, went on
hoard, and lifting the tarpaulin, he discoVered the
Prisoner Myth lying down, and near hiS head lay
a waterman's jacket, made with a very large cir-
cular pocket, and placed under a hole which- was in'
one of 'the lags Of cocoa, 'and at the very moment:
some of the-cocoa was falling into the pocket. He,
instantly seized Meyers, charged him with:plunder-
ing his boat; and.after some.roistance, got him on
board the boat in the scuffle *Meyers attempted to.
throw the 'jacket overboard, hut which Mr. Little -
prevenfed:.'.The boat was rowed to the Custom- ,
House Quay, where" Meyers was given in Charge
to an Officer: The jacket in question was rather
a remarkable one, and was stated by one or two-of
the Witnessess to have been worn by Meyers some
time before. The 'bag froth which the cocoa was
taken was weighed, and was found, on comparing
it with its original weight, to be deficient .very
nearly about the quantity found in the 'pocket of
the jacket, Which was 331 b. and the identity of
cocoa,. as nearly as the nature of such a commodity ,
would admit, was proved on the part of the Pro-
secution.
