From tile circUrnslanct'S staltd- itt evidence, 'it
-appr.ared that Sir William Duncan, whose house is
at No. 4, Ulokester-place; was out of town, and
had left the premises in care of his servants. 'One of
them, a female, was the only person at bon-lean
the evening of the 28th of (X sober. She went
out at eight o'clock, locking the hall-door, and
leaving every thing sate ; and on her return at
nine, she • found the door still locked, but ob-
serving the' marks of
.several persons' feet in the
hall, and on the stairs,' she became alarmed ; and,
on examining the parlours and rooms up=stairs, she
('found them stripped of bed-cloaths, pier and chim-
ney glasses, carpets, and all ,the unlocked drawerS,
up to the attic story, were plundered of wearing
apparel, and every valuable they contained. She
called a watchman to assist her in her search, lest
some of the robbers should be still lurking in the
house.. No trace of them was found. The filets
were, next Morning, made known at the Pollee-
Office, Marlborough-street, in consequence of which
a .search was set on foot, and several articles of-the

Stolen property were found, on the sth of Novem-
ber, in the possession of the female Prisoner, who
lodged at the house of a gingerbread baker in Mary-
le-bone-lane, and was suspected as a common re-
ceiver of stolen goods. Her husband had fled, but
she was taken into custody and brought to Marl-
borough-street. While she remained at the op-
posite public-house, waiting for her examination,
the Prisoner Hollsgrove came to see her, and had,
some private conversation with her, when she .di-
reatly charged him, in the presence of the Officers,
with being one of, the party who had brought- the
goods to her apartments. The Prisoner Hollsgrove
said her assertion was false ; but Simmons insisted
it was true, and told him-that at the same time, on
pulling something out of his pocket, a skeleton key
fell on the Poor : 'she asked him what that was ?
and he answered, "It was his own." Upon this
Hollsgrove etas 'taken into custody. It was also
proved that he had-been frequently seen going into
and out of the chamber of Simmons at fter lodg-
ings.

The Prisoner, in his defence, denied. all know-
ledge of this transaction, and all intimacy with the
other Prisoner. lje accounted. for his beingfre-
quently in her neighbourhood; by saying he had a
sister residing there ; but " Oat he could tot charge
his memory!' with having ever been in Simmons's
apartments.

Several persons appeared to give the Prisoner
Hollsgrove a good character, stating that he anted
sometimes as a Broker, and sometimes as an Ac-
comptan't. -

Mr. COMMON SERJEANT summed up the evi-•
dence, observing that the Prisoner -Simmons must
by law be excluded froni implication in the guilt
of receiving the goods, as it was in the presence of
her husband, who fled from justice; and she must
be supposed "under his influence. The guilt or in-
nocence of the other only resnaified for their de-
ion.—Verdia—Not Guilty and the 'Prisoners
were dismissed with a strong-- admonition froM the
Court. •

Death was passed on .George. Shells and, Thomas
Smith, for stealing in a dwelling-house ; Watkin

MA:4s rr- Roo s E Brown and Richard
Daly, two well-dressed young men, were taken up
on Saturday, about one o'clock,' on the Royal Ex-
change, and carried before the LORD MAYOR. Mr.
Holdsworth, the City Marshal, stated toile Alder-
man, that he had received information of the Royal
Exchange being infested by several. well-dressed
pickpockets;. that a Mr. Clark that morning inform-
ed him, there were three of them then on the
'Change. He immediately sent his Officers, who
took two, and the third made his escape. Mr. Clark
stated, 'that the two Prisoners had that day made an
attempt on his pocket ; and he saw them attempt
the pockets of others._ i One of the 'Change-keepers
confirmed this statement. The Prisoners said no-
thing in their defence, and were committed for fur
ther examination.

, On Friday last, as a woman of the name of Potter
was walking dOwn Long-lane; a beam •of timber
slipped from otf a carriage that was just loading with
it, and almost crushed the poor creature to pieces.
She Was lifted up barely alive, and was a shocking
spectacle to look at. It was thought that she could
not possibly live five 'minutes ; however, she was
taken. to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where she
lingered in the most miserable situation until Satur-
day evening, when she expired.
A shocking accident happened on Friday last on
Pinner Common, Herts : Two boys, whose parents
worked in a chalk pit on the Common, haying occa-
sion to go to them, were let down in a bucket in the
usual manner. Having got about one-third of the
way the bucket became unhooked, and they were pre-
cipitated to the bottom of the pit, which was of con-
siderable depth. One of them was dashed to pieces,
and the other had some of his limbs broken his
life is despaired of.
.The Cordial Balm of Gilead is a Restorative un-
equalled, a bracer of •the whole animal funetioni.
This Remedy, this Balm, is now in- the highest re-
pute, it is resorted to by the first nobility and gentry
in the united, kingdom; every day adds more en.;
comiums to the virtues - of this exalted medicine
than can possibly
.be published ; yet thbse,, cases
which from time to time have appeared in the public
Prints- are so convincing, well attested, and extra-
ordinary in their nature, that that person must be
void of belief indeed, who does not.tttlOh.ctedit, to
them. - ,
