OLD BAILEY.,

STXTII DAY.—TUESbAY, DEC. •8.

• Abram Zence was indicted for feloniotOysteal-
ing a certain tvtodert box, containing a zl. Bank. of
England Note, tree 7s. pieces, one half guinea,
and i zs. in si►ver,' the property and monies of
Thomas "luck.

The Proecutor, it appeared, keeps a baker's
•sho:i in Church-street, Betlinal_Green. On the 29th
of November, a woman, one of the customers, came
to the shop,. and paid his wife some money : on-
this ,occasion, the-latter took out the box mentioned
in the indidment, and „info which she put the mb-
,ney. A person coming in for a loaf at the mothent,.
she laid the box:upon tl'ie count,er, upon which also
a quantity of halfpence were laid. On this person's
going out, the
.Prisoner cainchastiLv in, and asked
for a (pattern loaf. As she was. Teaeuing to him,- he
gave her a push with some' violence which very
'aua disconcerted. her he then snatched up the
box and ran Off with it. The customer alluded to,
who was in the shop, imMediately ran to.the door,
and gave-an alarm, crying out,'' Stop thief!" &c.
In consequence of which, a man who was standing
nearly opposite the Prisoner, advanced towards him,
and caught him by the•collar. It appeared,, that
shortly after -another person came up to assist in
securing him on whiCh- the former observed, that
•he had.hold of the Prisoner, and the latter might
let him 'go. This proposition, h6wever, was not
acceded to, the latter saying,. he would - take the
Prisoner back to the Prosecutor's ‘shop ; and while
was doing, the than
.who first caught hold •of
the Prisoner. thought -proper to run which
seemed to induce-a suspicion that he was an accom-
plice of the .Prisoner's. .The Prosecutor's wife was
positive—of the identityof the Prisoner.—On being
searched,the Imix was not foudd upon him.

-',J3eing.called•upon for his defence, his Counsel in_
formed the Court, that he had such an impedirne-nt
in his speech as to, Lk quite unintelligible, and it
appeared, that when he,was taken and carried hack
to the Prosecutor's shot. not a word could he Got
out of him.

_lwo or three Witnesses appeared to his charac-
ter, but whose account of hire, did not, in thu
[lion of the Court, give a favourable impression.
The case, it appeared,, was capitally. laid, as
steaiirtg beyond the amount of 4.05. in a dwel:ing-
honse.; 'but the Court held that, as"no 130 itive Proof
had been adduced that ibe was Committed in
the dwelling-house of the Prosecutor,. the Jury were
justifiable in remitting the capital part of the charge.
This seemed to be the opiniipn of the jury, who,
after very shortly deliberating, found the Prisoner
" Guilty of tkaling only."

Mark Canror and Diana Deneb were charged
with Stealing a piece of printed calico, and other
articles, the property of. John Robins ; dnd one or
the, counts in the inditmcnt laid some of the articles
as the property of a Mr. Stephens.
The Prosecutor, it appeared, is an eminent up_
bolsterer in Dean street ; the Prisoner was in his
employ, and the•former Missing, from time to time,
sundry•articles used in the business, at length sut.
peAed Connor : in come:pence of which his apart_
merits were searched, anti many articles used 'in the
cabinet branch of the upholstery business were found,
as brass handles and setitcheons fur drawers, brass
curtain rods, &c. but these, on account of their
peculiar nature, or the state in which they were
found, could not sarisfalorily be identified as the
Prosecutor's property. Some wearing.appatel which
was foimd, and laid to be the property of the above_
mentioned Gentleman, seemed, to be also in the
same predicament however, the piece of calico,
which was• through the means of a pawnbroker's
duplicate found in the Prisoner's possession, -,was
clearly identified. On eiridence to this general et.
feet, the Jury found Connor—Guilty ; but, .as it
appeared, on account. of the woman's living with
him as a wife, and supposed io be under a degree of
coercive influence, they were induced to acquit her;
.7chuilareison was capitally convieled of stealing
a silver watch, at St. Catherine's.

Sara.' So/omvfs, a respeaable let-Acing Lady, of,
the Jewish persuasion, was indiaed yesterday for
feloniously uttz;ring as true, knowing it to be forged,
a certab.Profnissory Note; value 201. with intent
to 'defraud John Sparkes; 'Richard 'Sparkes, and
Joseph:Sparkes, of Guildford. - -
The second Count laid it Atith intent to defraud
Messrs. Hazard, Burne, and \Varner ; and the.3d.
COdut with intent to defraud Sir James Esdaile,
Hannuet, Esdaile, and Hatntnet. _ _ _

Simeon Smith; the first Witness, said, he is a
Clerk to Messrs. Hazard and Co.'Lottery Office,
Keepers, inCornhill.: The Pris Oner at the bar came
_to the Office on the 'z9th of October last, about six
o'clock in the evening,. and asked to look -at some
eighth shares of Irish Lottery 'TiCkets : he *hewed
her some, and w hen she had chmen one,-she ten.
dered him a aol. Guildford Bill. Wheiuhe looked
at it, l o thought it did not appear reguLu ly •
signed, particUlarly the name .of Sparkes and Co.
`being put in the place of Richard Sparkes; this in-
&teed him to show it to a Mr. Alder,' in the 01-
'lice, who advised him to take it to Esdailei to
examine ; there he was told tt was a forgery. Mr.
Messenger, from Esdatv..'s, did not return with
him, but came in- just after, so as to join in :the
questioning .of the Prisoner; they. first asked her
where she lived ? She said in, Houndsditeh : how
she came- by the Note ; from' whont she. took it ;
and what consideration she gave fork ? She ap-
peared flurried very' much at first, but at length.
said, she took it froth a man. she did not know, who
paid it her for 'two pieces of fine linen, and she had
'given him the -Change: in money: 'He then gave the
Draft to Alder, who passed it over to Messenger.
Thomas Sparkes the younger swore that the sig-
nature WAS not that Of either: of the partners, nor
was it' at all like their mode of signing Bills;
their's being signed by Richard Sparkes only.
William Blake was then called and examined by
Mr. Gtrrney as Counsel for the Prisoner. He said
he remembered having the note in his pitsesSion,
from the 2.6 th till the zSth of Onober, when it
