The Holy Father being asked for his advice about
the re-establishment of the Ecclesiastical States in
Germany, his answer was, that circumstances must
be submitted to.

CONCORDATUM OF THE POPE,

The :'net's Letter, which has been so long an-
nounced, was delivered on Wednesday by Mr.
ERSKINE, to all the French Bishops who have
taken refuge in London. It is said in the Courier
des Londres of last night, to be conceived in the
following terms :

cc Venerable Fathers,

" You have merited so much of the Catholic
Religion, and havc: done so many noble aftions,
both collelively ::nd individually, that we do not
hesitate to propose to you one still more noble.
You must glve up your Sees, with a good grace,
and resign them freely into our hands.. It is un-
doubtedly a very great sacrifice. Things are come
to that pOint, that we are under the necessity of
demanding this sacrifice; and you are under the
necessity of making it. We know that you must
feel great regret in abandoning those Flocks
over whom, present or absent, .you have watched
with so much care. The knowledge we have of
your good conduct, does not permit us to doubt
that you will immediately send us your Letters of
Abdication.' We cannot believe that any one of
you wi:: throw any impediments in the way of this
measure, since three hundred Catholic Bishops at
Carthage have heretofore set you the exampl,. In
latter times, several of you have written in this
disposition to our predecessor Pius VI. Since \ye
are now placed in a situation to render your abdi.
cation necessary, we cannot doubt but that you
will comply with our desire. The pressure of the
times, the violence of which we ourselves. feel,
compels us to acquaint you, that it is necessary that
you should give us an Answer in ten days. The
same causes -also compel us to acquaint you, that
your Answer must be absolute, and ndt evasive.
So that if you do not give us an Answer in ten
days, we shall consider it as a refusal to comply
with our demands. At the same time, we com-
municate this circumstance to you with regret ; we
are reduced to such extremities in the middle of
the obstacles which are opposed to the good of Re-
ligion, and we must take every means in our power
to remove them.

" It cannot be4necessary to acquaint you,' that
we have taken' every means in our power to spare
so unpleasant a, measure ; we confess, with concern,
that our efforts have been ineffectual, our solicita-
tions without success, and that we have been com-
pelled to it by the cruel necessity of the times."

A CAUTION.---A Gentleman was watering his
horse in the pond close to the bridge in Hyde-park,
on Wednesday last—his horse was wily with his fore
feet in the water—upon advancing one step farther,
his horse sunk very deep into the mud, and the
rider being unable topull him up, fell into the water,
whence he very narrowly escaped losing his life and
his horse.

THAMES Pot, E -Or FI C E.—Yesterday a trades.
man underwent an examination, on suspicion of re-
ceiving stolen property from all descriptions of per-
sons from both sides of the river, whether from the
private yard.; of the Merchants, or from those be-
longing to Government. It appeared on examina.
tion, that he had been in the habit of making such
purchases as made him liable to the Penal Statutes ;
among some of the seized property, was some be-
longing to His Majesty's stores : hut there not be_

ing an absolute proof of a felony, he was adjudged
to pay the fine of 51. upon the supposed peculation
of private property, 'and likewise 101. upon public
property ; upon which adjudications he paid the
fines, and was discharged.

OLD BAILEY.

THIRD D-AY-FILI`DAI" SEPT. S.

rhjit tas Toubnin was .inaieted for stealing i 6
sheaves of Mazagan out of Bushy Park, the
property of His Royal Highness WILLIAM HENRY
DUKE of CLARENCE.

I Mr. RA IN opened the case for the Prosecution.
John Langley, one of the servants in husbandry,
of His Royal Highness the DUKE of CLABENCE,
said, " That in a field now cultivated, which was
part of Bushy Park, of which His Royal Highness is
the Ranger, there were beans grown, Which had
been severed from the ground, and tied up in
;:heaves, four shee,ves in a shock: That he left
them at six o'clock in the afternoO;ii and all was
right; and returning in the morning of the next
day, he missed four shocks :—he had not seen any
such beans as these were in any part of the country
thereabouts, nor did he see such a string used for
tying them as that which was used for tying these
beans :—he did not know of any such string being
used as this in any other place, it was a particular
pitch string, it might be used in other places,
but not thereabouts. He did not open the sheaves
at six o'clock in the evening, but saw that they
Were right from a general inspeftion of them."'
Robert Baden, Bailiff to His Royal Highness,
said, " That in consequence of suspicion he went "
to a Magistrate, and got a Warrant, to search the
premises of the Prisoner. He lived about half a
mile from the place where these beans were missed.
The Witness saw a bundle of beans, with a great
coat .thrown over them, as if to be concealed.
He examined the beans immediately, there were
twelve -sheaves tied, and there were some loose.
The Prisoner being asked " whose the great coat
was ?" said "it was his." The Witness said,
that as.: to• these beans he had seen . this sort of
beans before, but never the same sort of herbage.
This was very different from the common herbage,
because the land on. which they grew had not been
broken-up for 300 years.. The Prisoner had, no
beans whatever growing in his garden, the Witness
examined that carefully."
. James Bennet said, ." lie pulled the beans in
question, and tied them with a pitch string in a
particular way—some others might tie their beam
with a pitch string, but he knew his own knot."
Thomas Ward•produced the sheaves.
Robert:-Boden said, " That these beans were
within the premises of the Prisoner, inclosed and
adjoining to his house."

_ The Prisoner said- he knew nothing:of who
brought the beans there, nor any thing at- all about'
thern.--Qui/ty. •

Thomas Pearce was inclined for, being at, large
Without lawful cause, after having been transported
for life, against the Statute, &c.
Mr. KNow las opened the case for. the Prosecu-
tion. He said that the Prisoner.. at the Bar stood
charged with being at large in this ;C:ountry, after
having received sentence of transportation for his
natural life. The fads, he said, must naturally be
within a very small compass. in such a case as this.
He should state them 'in a way that would make it
extremely easy to decide the point which was in
issue betweet'-the Public on the one side, and the
Prisoner on the other, which was a question,
whether he was at large without alawful cause ?"
In 1792, the Prisoner was tried ',on a charge of
burglary in the house of a Gentlemin.af the name of
Baker, and cony ined, and he•receivedientence of
death. After this Ibis Majesty's Meiei-was extend-
ed to him, and he receivta 'a patdon.on.condition of

come from himself, and not from his' Prose,
cutors ; but he would state what he understOod
to he intended to be urged by the Prisoner, t
which, whatever might be its merit in point
of faa, was no justification or excuse in point of
Law, as he should submit to the Jury, under the
diredion of the Learned Judge. The defence he
alluded to was this, " That while the Prisoner was
at Botany Bay, he found there was an Entry in the
Book there, containing the Sentencei of the Con-
vias, by which it was stated that he Av.:is trans-
ported only for, seven years, and that seeing this
Entry, he thought himself warranted in coming
home when that time expired!' Unfortunately for
the Public there were but few of those whom this
country had found it necessary to turn out of its
boSom whose charaners were good—but he under-
stood that the Prisoner was one of that few. How.
ever, if there, was such an Entry in the Book at
Botany Bay, as that by it he appeared to have been
transported only for seven years, it was his duty to
have inquired, at least, how it happened to have
been so entered, instead of taking, as he did, the
risk entirely on himself; and it would be dreadful
if the due execution of the Law was to be defeated
by any trick whatever, however it might be brought
about, and which he, on the part of the prosecution,
did not undertake to explain. If the Prisoner had
any thing to offer for himself, it was his concern to
produce it in evidence—not that of the Prosecutor.
He had, however, made inquiry at the Secretary. of
State's Office, to learn whether there was there, in
proper Books, any warranty for any such Entry as
that by which the Prisoner, said he was ordered to
be transported. only for seven years ; he found
there appeared there 60 authority whatever for any
such Entry. fie would further shew (though as
Counsel for the Prosecution he was not bound to do
so), by a Gentleman yvho was Clerk at the Secre.
racy of State's Office, that there is no Such Entry
in the Books there, as that of transportation of this
person for seven years ; and this would shew that,
however the alistglie might have arisen, there was

. .
no foundation for saying ttiat the Entry which tilt_
Prisoner telied on had any reguhr authcirity.—
Th:! -Jury would hear the fans from the Witnesse,,
an t‘14.6 Law from the BenCh, and then they syoul=
pronounee such a vcrdin as the j;i?.,tice of the' ,i 4-... . •
demanoea."

It then appeared in evidence, that the Pd.:
soner was tried for the burglary, and conviaed ; ti c
certificate of his conviction was read ; and that
he received His Majesty's Pardon on condition Of
being transported for life ; was sent abroad as state?,
in the opening; and that he was found on the 6th
of the present month at the Bacchus arid Ton, in
St. John's-street."
It appeared by the evidence of a Gentlermn
from the Secretary of State's Office, that there cv‘i
no authority in the Books by which it appeared
that His Majesty's iVfercY, had been further ex
tended to this person, than that of a Pardon on con:
dition of his being transported for life.
It appeared that, on the trial of the Prisoner fot
the burglary, the Wirnesses were examined apart;
and that therefore none of them heard the whole of
the trial.

Mr. KNAPP therefore submitted to the Learned
Judge, that the evidence in this case did not sup-
port the averments in the indiament ; 'and it was
clear that every necessary averment in an India-
ment must be proved as laid. This Indiament
stated, and the essence of the charge was so, that
the Prisoner now at the Bar was once convieted,
and received Pardon on condition of being trans.
ported for life. The remaining part of the charge
was, that he was at large in this country without
lawful cause. Now he apprehended that the Pro.
secutor must prove the averment, that the Prisoner
was conviaed. None of the Witnesses were .Pre.
sent at the conViaion, they. being out of Court.--%
The Record indeed stated, sucha name as a Convia,
but as the Witnesses could not prove him to be the
person so convided?-as they were not in Court
when the verdit was pronounced, he therefore sub:.
mined that rheevidence was, under this head, de.
The et averment was, that he received
the King's Pardon on condition of being transport.
ed-ftir- life. :,_llere was norone-Witness who-was
present when slat Pardon was accepted by hirne--t
This might have been proved intwo ways, by--the
evidence 'of:Sortie body who heard it in Court, .or
by:the Letter.of Authority from the Secretary'of
State.•. kle.Submitted that the case for the Proseca:,
lion WasAlefeaive in this particular also.
•
-Mr. Baron HOTHAM said, '2c The Learned
was certainly justifiable' in making eves 6b`
lettion Which he thought could avail a man Who
stood at the, Bar for his 'life, but, as 'far as'lly
judgment goes (said thelLearned Jude); it
possible to give way to •-theSe objeCtiOns ;
the moment -there is reasonable proof glye:e that
he is the man who was aCtualiy tried, and it stand:
ing on record,- that such a man was convicted,- it is
put upon him to ,slie%v the 'contrary, by skewing
that he is not '-the man. The conviaion being
legally proved, .supplies every thing of proof that
necessarily preceded ' that conviaiOn.' ThiS was
made evidence to avoid the expence and trouble of.
proving many preliminary steps by .vica voce
deuce. That being made evidence of the fans
which preceded the "convietion is compleat
proof. The man at the Bar is proved to be the
man upon his trial, and his conviaion upon that
trial is compleat evidence of all the necessary inter.
mediate steps. A Witness was in Court upon his
trial, and his conviaion is produced, and it is rea.
sonable to suppose that he is the same man. lam
therefore clearly of opinion that both the objections
should be over-ruled,"

~.> s

The Prisoner said a few words in his defence, re-
ferring chiefly to Governor Hunter for the reason of
his coming home, and also for his character.

The Governor was thc:refore further exa.ninetl.—
The Prisoner," said he, " brought this Paper to
me; not choosing to give credit to any notes, I
ordered the Book to be brought to me ; the Book
was brought ; I examined it ; the Prisoner at the
Bar appeared to stand in the Book for seven years,
I did not discover-there had been any erasure where
his name stood. This was the original list sent
from England, and in which he appeared to be sent
for seven years. That list came .to me from the
Secretary of State's Office. There were more lists
that were Copies of this, but I generally had refer..
ente to that when occasion required, as being a
document of the highest authority ; and I found
this and the others corresponded. Giving faith to
this original list, I gave the man leave to quit that
Country, and to go wherq he pleased, and he came
home in my o*n ship. In consequence of what I
observed of his condua, and being satisfied that he
was to remain for seven years, only, I put him into
a situation of confidence on board the ship, for I
trusted him with the care of the Stores. The list
I have referred to, as my authority, is put up and
recorded, and is not a document removable.at plea-
sure, and therefore now remains at Botany Bay ;
and this Paper you have shewn.to me, is a Copy of
that Record, for I have compared them."

Richard Butler, and John Bryant, were indiaed.
for stealing 14.1 b. weight, of pewter, the property
of Messrs. Tosvnshend and Compton.
The Prisoners it appeared. were Carpenters, and
worked on some repairs in the premises of the Pro.

missed from time to time, suspicion at length WI
upon the Prisoners, and one of the. Prosecutor's
people was employed to -watch their motions.—
Accordingly this person, who wAs one of the Wit.
nesses, concealed himself in the warehouse on the
morning of The :ad of • August, and soon after he
came,in, the two Prisoners entered and repaired to
the grindstone, which they pretended for a moment
to use in whetting their tools, but speedily one of
the Prisoners was left near the grindstone to watch,

The Prisoners' defence consisted in 'written ad.

it ; and. finally threw• themselves on the lenity of

.Mo3.lfOrl HOTHAM said to-the Prisoner's Conn.
;‘.:-The-case that you have made out for your
Glottis as far as it goes, is_a-strong case to be sub.
mitted -avther place, but sitting here in this
Court as we do,, I dry not !,ee how we can possibly
do any other than take the matter as h stands re-
corded, namely, that this man was tri:d and capi..
tally convitted, and afterwards received His Majes-
ty's Pardon, on condition of being transported for
file:; • and I am bound to tell the Jury, that his be-
ing found at large is contrary to the terms of that
transportation, and a capital offence by the Law of
this Land,- and they are bound also by. the Jaw
a this Land, to- find him guilty. The case upon
its own peculiar circumstances, is a very fit one to
be. represented to the Fountain of Mercy, where fit
applications are never made in vain."
-Mrs KvAry alluded to the late Aa of Parlia-*
ment, by which the Governor is empowered to
emancipate those under sentenct., who may appear
to him, in his discretion, to be worthy of it,
and submitted, that the Governor having said to
this prisoner, ". he . might go where he pleased,"
had_ the same eff.tl as an emanCipation.
Mr. Baron " I cannot look upon this
as an emancipation. I think it is very right to lay
it before the Sovereign in Council.—Gentlemen of

capital—that he received the , King's Pardon, on
condition of being transported durthg,-the term of

Qnyernor did, as he was bound to do, being satis-
ficd that the term for which he was transported

only the infUrmation of that list, and therefore as
he had no reason to suspeet it, he did rightly in let.
ting the- mar go ; but we, here in Court, must . go
by the Record before us, by which it appears the
n.i•.7 was pardoned only on condition of being trans-
ported for life; certainly if this man bona fide, real.
ly and truly relieved there was no unfair or im-
proper alteration ina:.'e in the original list, but -that
Le was to have been, originally, only transr,nred
for seven years ; that there was no fabrication any
where, but that. there has been - a mastake some
where or odic!. ; unquestionably it is a case very fi.
to be most favourThly represented to His Majesty,
and. indeed if truly, represented- to His Majesty, as
assuredly it .will, there is no doubt, it belo,
vourably received; but in point if law, it im,
possible for us to do otherwise than tell you " that-
if this man received his pardon on condition of being

The Learned Judge who tried the case,conceived
a clearer one amid not be made out; and the Jury
irmuLdiately found both the Prisoners Guilty.

Ann Croaker was indided for feloniously stealing
on the Bth inst. eight Bank of England Notes, value
81. the property of James Painceby.
The Prisoner was one of .those unhappy females
who infest Drury-Lane. The Prosecutor, 'who it
should appear had sacrificed rather coo freely to the
Rosy God, .was accosted by the Prisoner between
and i z o'clock, on the night of Tuesday se'nnight,
arid incautiously accompanied-her to her apartments,
where he retired- to bed. He.described himself :as
having been very speedily overtakes by sleep; ;on
his waking in the morning, he 'not only. missed the
partner of his' bed, but his whole stock of Bank
Notes.- He lost no time in inquiring-after the Fri.
soner, whom he at length found, about three o'clock
in the afternoon, at a low public house, in Drury.
Lane. He charged her -with 'robbing him.. She de.
nied ever having seen his, face, or that she knew
arty tiling'.o, his notes. On searching her, however,.
three One:- Pound Bank" -Notes were found in her
Pockets,' three 7s. pieces, azt.eitv silver, and -9d.
In copper. The Bank Notes the Prosecutor post.
ti vd.y swore to have been in his possession the over.
night. He was able, he said, to identify them, by
their having respedively the indorsement of Robin
Hood.

The Learned Judge naturally inquired why. that
indorsement was used; on which the Prosecutor ex-
plained that he had them ,the day before from the
Steward of a Society called the .44 Robin Flood,"
with whom he had frequent dealing%, . His Lord-
ship 'then jocularly observed,: be hpirtio he was not
the Treastrer of the Society; which he answered in
the new tive.
The Officer who searched the Prisoner, Confirmed
the Prosecutor's statement as to the amount of the
property found on her.
The Prisoner being called on fur her defence,
entered into a long detail of what she insisted were
the real circumstances of the case. The sum of
which was, that on entering her apartment, he
liked it very mut.li, and obtained her consent to.
reside with her' till the end of the week ; being a
married man, he said, he did not wish to go home
until that period—that he gave her the Bank Notes
to keep for him, Half-a-Guinea, and a 7s. piece,
to provide liquor and various necessaries. That
she had
_gone out in the morning by his desire for
liquor, which he drank in bed ; that he then fell
asleep, and in some time. after she had gone Out,
be.canie with an Officer and took her into custody.
This defence, the prosecutor asserted, was in
every point untrue; save that" over-night, he ad.
mitred, he had given her a '7s. piece, in order to
purchase some liquor.
The Jury, however, thought proper •to acquit
,the Prisoner : and the Prosecutor, on applying for
his expences, was refused them by the Court, on
the ground, that a married man of his time of lire,
with property to such an amount about him, was
inexcusable for afting as he had done. The Notes,
however, were restored to him. -

An,, Gill was charged with a capital ofr-nce, in
privately stealing on the .zd of September, a num-
bet of shawls" *AO the shop of John•GeOrge, his pro_

It tpj,eared that the Prisoner, on the above-men.
timed day. came to tl:e shop of the ProSecUtor, in
Leicester.fields, and asked.to look at some shawls ;
several were sliewn to her ; this was between / t and
12 o'clock ; the Prisoner ,bought one, and retired ;
no property was then mis,ed.
About 4. o'clock in the afternoon intelligence
was received by the Prosecutor, that a 'suspicious
person was stopped. by Gordon, .the Pawnbroker, in
St:Martm's-lane, who had offered hirn a number of
shawls to pledge—this proired to be the
Prisoner, an 3 the shawls the property of the Prose-
cutor; 'these circumstanced were duly proved in
evidence.

The capital part of the charge, however, that of
privately stealiog, was, under the dire6tion of the
Court, dismissed from the consideration of the Jury,
inasmuch as it appeared there was another person
serving in the shop beside the Prosecutor while the
Prisoner was in the shop, who was not brought
forward to prove his part of the case, namely, that
as far as he could observe, the demeanour of the
Prisoner while in the shop was not such as afforded
him the least cause for suspicion that she had secret-
ed or stolen any of the articles. In consequence the
Verifia of the July was Guilty of stealing, but not
privately.

Robert Gray, a boy about twelve years old was
indifted for feloniously stealing a silver watch, the
property of William Redding.
It appeared that the Prosecutor was bathing in
the River, near the back of Somerset-house, early
.on: morning about the middle of July last ; he had.
left his watch in his breeches pocket on the bank,
near which the Prisoner was observed. On coming
out of the pater, being asked the hour, he imme-
diately. missed his watch ; the Prisoner was no
longer seen. In some time after, he stated, th.at he
heard of his watch by means of a person of the name
of C,hen. However, this person, though repeat_

CONCRETE LEMON JUICE.
Mr. Coxw ELL, of Temple-Bar, having been
given to understand that some other Acid has
been sold for Concrete Lemon juice, feels it ne-
cessary to observe, that he is permitted to refer
to the highest Authorities in this Kingdom, for
the purity of that prepared by himself; and he
trusts that the precaution of signing every Package
with his name, and in his own hand-writing, will
afford sufficient security against imposition to those
,who shall t)e desirous to make use of this conve-
nient and elegant preparation.

So strong an interest runs through every scene in
the new grand Spectacle of King Cmsaf, or the
Negro Slaves, at
theßoyal.Circus, St. George's
Fields, as to rivet the attention of a most overflow-
ing assemblage of admirers
,every evening, The
Music in the new, Indian Overture, the Airs, Cho-
russes, &c. by Mr. V.Ware, is allowed to be most
admirably composed, and charms every ear. The
Scenes are peculiarly beautiful and striking, and the
Dances by Miss Adams and Miss Denny receive
the loudest. applauie. This produaion has evidently
established itself a great favourite in every circle.

Wigan, Aug. 29, 1797.
The following incontestable, and perhaps the most wonderful
Cure ever performed by the use of Medicines, attested by,
and-sworn to before Thomas Doncaster, Mayor of the Bo-
rough of Wigan, in the County of Lancaster, and addressed
'to Mr. Ligurtm, Surgeon, at his Dispemiry, No. 57,
Bridge-street, Manchester :

SIR,
IMUST confess that I am at a loss how, or in
what manner to describe the pi Lure of the former state
of my disease. I think my'own, or any other pen, unequal
to conveying a full idea of the deplorable condition my whole
frame was in. About eighteen years ago I was attacked with
a scorbutic humour, which appeared in different parts of my
body ' • to repeat the train of regular medicinal means my dis-
order has led me through, would be tedious ; let it be suffi-
cient to say, that the remedies I used were of the most va-
ried kinds, all of which proved ineffeaual ; My complaint
increased to a truly alarming degree—my body, from head to
toot, was covered with an inveterate scurf,. which scaled off.
in great quantities, and for these last six years, however in-
credible it may appear to the world, I can with truth assert,
as hundreds of nay neighbours are ready to testify, that my
flesh has (literally) been rotting from off toy bones,, and that
great part. of the spinal or back--boue was quite bare; my
feet, front my ancle to my toe-ends, were become one entire
putrid sore, and in many parts the bones appeared, and in a
decaying state. Such was the putrid state of my body, that
at three different times all my finger and toe-nails came en-
tirely off—through disease, I was deprived of the use of my
limbs, and the excruciating pain retarded my sleep, so th-it
life itself became a burden to me. In the month of February
last I was strongly recommended to make trial of your
Drops, of which I had a bottle from Mr. William Lyon, of
Wigan, your sole Agent for that Borough. In the use of the
first bottle I found a little alteration, but before I had finish-
ed three small bottles, -I was so tar recovered, that I could,
with the assistance of a stiok, walk from Goulbourn to Wi-
gan, a distance of six miles. I persevered in the use of the
Drops till I had taken ten stroll bottles, which, with the
blessing of God, have restored me to a perfea state'of health
and strength ; therofore it is my. wish -and desire that the
efficacy of these Antiscorbutic Drops, together with my
Cure, be published for I good of mankind. As witness
My hand, TIMOTHY MASON.
