OLD BAILEY.

SATURDAY, JULY 5.

Hanah Licfeqne, lady's maid to,Lady.Ciimpbell, of
Wigtnore-street, was capitally indicted for stealing
three 11. notes, . a pair of silk stocking's., and _some:
lace, from her mistress.

The Lady having frequently missed, money and •
.notes, from a cabinet in which she deposited theM;'
marked her notes for several days successively. •On
the 7th of June her Ladyship was out lute at a rout,'
and in the morning following,.. upon examination,,
she missed three of her 11. notes. An Officer was
sent for, and the maid very readily agreed toliave
her pockets searched, but there. was not any thing
in them. In a pocket ,which was found under' the -
mattrass of her bed,.however, there was a note-which •
had been in the cabinet the preceding night., • Fur-
ther search was then made about the servant's
person, and the .other two dotes were found in
her bosom. It was .discovered •by the marks that
the notes were all taken at separate, times,-one 11. on
the 26th, another on the
.28th of May; and the third
on the 7th of-June. The other property Was found
in the servant's box, and it could not be ascertained
when these articles were taken. •A plea of
was advanced at the time of trial, and the Prisoner', '
by her behaviour in the dock, endeavoured to make
a similar iinpression on the Minds of the JUdge
and, Jury. Some witnesses proved that the prisoner
had been deprived of her reason some tithe back
but as no one would undertake. to swear, that she:
was not in the possession of her reasoning faculties
for the last three or four, months, the plea was re-
je6ted.
The Recorder, in his.chargetO the Jury, informed
them that the capital part of the offence was done
away, by the notes having -been taken .at different
times. The prisoner was then found guilty of steal-:
ing to the amount of 20s. 'only.
William. Boston and George Prescot were tried for
assaulting John Carden, a Revenue Officer; in the
execution of his duty.---The Jury found both the
prisoners Guilty. •
Elizateth.Barnett was indidted for stealing a purse.
containing forty guineas and a half in gold, and-a ,
diamond ring; valued at 101. charged to be Ihepro--
perty of John Rumly Rouvellet. This was a most
curious and complex case. The Prosecutor is the
same person whom our Readers will recolle4t.we
.mentioned soirie time .ago as having been taken up
at Bath for forgery. He now stands committed for
thatoffeece, and appeared in-Court in irons; hay-
ing been brought up, from Ilchester gaol to give evi-
dence against the prisoner. On his examination and
cross.exarnination, which lasted a long time, he;
stated that he was a native of the West Indies ; that
above twelve months ago he lived-with the prisoner.
at the York
.Hbtel, where she- passed as his Nrife:- •
. She afterwards lived with him in the Fleet Prison.
It • was bereohe swore that she had committed the.
robbery. He said. the property stolen had, been in
his great coat pocket, which hung np in -the room ;
that nobody eise was there but the prisoner previous'
to his missing it ; that she went away and did not '-
come back to hirnany more.—Besides this, she took
-away from his lodgings, in Albemarle-street, his
thinks, inks,' containing papers and ether property to the
amount of 90,0001. None of the _property laid in

Soner. The-prisoner.was a handsome young, wo-
• •
man, genteelly and fashionably dressed. '
