OLD BAILEY, JAN. 15.

James Butler and John Pichotte, two young men
of very respectable appearance, were indicted for
breaking and entering the dwelling-house of James
Timewell, of No. 96, Junction-terrace, Edgeware•
road, and stealing therein a great variety of property.
James Timewell, the prosecutor, on the- 22d of
November last, at half-past six in the evening, left
home, accompanied by his wife, and returned at
half-past eight. On leaving home he locked the
doors, and no one to his knowledge remained in the
house. When he returned he found the private
door wide open, and also the door which led into
the shop. Upon searching the house, it waslaseer-
tained that the several room doors had been forced
open, and that every closet and drawer had been
completely ransacked. Several watches, a pair of
bracelets, two pairs of ear-rings, a gold neck-chain, •
a gold eye-glass, and a gold brooch, were missing,
besides a variety of articles of dress.
A young lady, named Sharpe, who, with her
mother, lodged in the prosecutor's house, on the
evening of the robbery left home before Mr. Time-
well, and on her return, a little after nine o'clock,
found that a bureau had been broken open, and a
silk shawl and other articles stolen.

Henry William Morrison was a serjeant in the
New Police. On the 6th of December he saw
Butler in the watch-house, who told him that he
lived in the Edgeware-road, near the turnpike.
Witness and another officer, after locking the prisoner
up, went to a house in Drummend-street, where
they saw a person whose name was Butler. He
found in the house two shirts, a tippet, and a silk
gown, together with several articles of jewellery.
Witness subsequently took Pichotte into custody
just as he was about to remove his furniture from
his lodgings, in the Regent's park. Upon searching
the van, several articles were found belonging to the
prosecutor. _ _

The several articles of property were produced,
and identified by the prosecutor and Miss Sharpe.
On the part of Pichotte an alibi was set up.
The CHIEF BARON charged the Jury, who, after
a short consultation acquitted Pichotte, and found
Butler Guilty.

Richard Charles Norris was indicted for em-
bezzling the sum of 16/., and also a bill of exchange
for 30/., the property of Henry William Nunn and
his partner.
The defendant received an excellent character
from several respectable persons. The Jury found
him Guilty.

Other indictments were ready to be preferred
against him.

The RECORDER immediately called him up for
udgment, and he was sentenced to be transported
for 14 years.

NEW COURT.

John Smith, the proprietor of a house of a certain
description in Little Shire-lane, Temple-bar, and
Sarah Williams, a dashing Cyprian who parades the
Strand, were indicted for assaulting a lad named
John Davey, and taking from his person ss. Gd. and
a pencil-case, his property.
The prosecutor, on Sunday evening, the 13th of
December, met the female prisoner near Temple-Int*
who induced him to go to a house just by. He had
not been there long before he gave her a shilling
some gin was got. She then fell upon him after-
wards, and demanded more money, and struck hits
with great violence. She alarmed him very much,
and extorted .ss. 6d. from him, and attempted to get
two sovereigns from his possession. He refused to
give them up, when the male prisoner entered, and
the woman proposed that the witness should be
stripped. He was knocked down with great violence
several times by both the prisoners,. and at length
they attempted to dislodge the watch from his fob,
but they failed in doing so. They at length tumbled
him down stairs and turned him into thestreet, where,
from ill usage, and loss of blood, lie fainted away.
The policeman F, 83, found the prosecutor lying
in the lane in an insensible state; his face and neck
were covered with blood. When he came to him-
self the prosecutor made the accusation, and he ap-
prehended the prisoners.
Verdict—Guilty against both the prisoners.
The Court deferred passing sentence until the end
of the sessions.
