ROBBERY IN KENSINGTON GARDENS.

naiad White was ind Vied .for assaut ting the Rev.
Dr. Robert Hamilton, in Kensington Gardens, near
the King's' highway, putting him in fear, and felo-
niously raking from his person a metal
.watch, a
guinea, anti several shillings, his property.
Dr. Hamilton stated, that on the zoth of March
last, about three o'clock in • the afternoon, as he
Was walking towards the North end of the Serpen-
tine River, in Kensington Gardens, lie perceived
the Prisoner at the Bar sitting In one of the alcoves ;
suspe&ing an ill intention on the part of the Pri-
soner, from some, motions he observed about him,
he returned back the way he came ; but the Pri-
soner running after him, he thought it most prudent
to stop to receive him, and in a determined tone
he asked him what he was to understand by hiS
behaviour? the Prisoner pleaded his distress. After
remonstrating some time on the impropriety.of his
eonduet, he gave hint 'a trifle to relieve him, he
believed it might have been sixpence or one shillitig.-
The'Prisoner looked at the money a considerable'
while, and then said it would not do. The Witness,
upon being asked as to the identity of the Prisoner,
said, he was positive he was the man. It was with
regret he was obliged to add, that the Prisoner
threatened his life, and demanded his money : ilie pri.
soner had a heavy stick in his band, which appeared
to haye been torn from h tree ;. he gave him his mo-
ney, to the amount of about 2.85. or 2.95. it Was a
guinea and 50.,-; silver ; there was no person in sight,
or within a quarter of a mile ; the day was gloomy.
The Prisoner ordered hiai to return the way he

, .
came, adding, that if he presumed to turn Lick, he
would follow and kill hitn. Accordingly he went
away without looking-imck, and immediately pro.
ceeded to Mr. Forsyth, die King's head gardener,
with whom he Was acquainted, and related the cir-
cumstance to him ; hraccompanied him to Bow-
street, and laid the information. .He saw nothing
more of the
,prioner till the Monday' following,
when he was apprehended nearly on the same spot
where he had committed the. robbery. It appeared,
that in consequenee of the information of. Doflor
Hamilton, and the description given of the offender,
the gardens were watched, _and the Prisoner recog-
nized and secured on die following Monday.
The Prisonerhad nothing to urge in hiS defence,
and the jury, without hesitatioh, pronounced
.Death.

ROBBERY IN A DWELLING-HOUSE.

John Laftvrerce was indiled for stealing two
silver Spoons, the property of Mrs. Sony, in her
dwelling-Jmuse in York place, Portman-square.
It appeared from the .evidenee of; Lord Ports-
mouth, that, as his tordi3hip was proceeding to his
house in Portman-square, he observed' the; Ptioncr
coming up the steps of till! urea of Mrs. Solly's
house,- and he heard. .some thing drop from him,
which, however, he. did not stay to pick up. Ima-
gining he had been committing a:theft, he secured
him, and alarmed the house. Several persons eame
up and searched the 'Prisoner, 'and oir his person
were found two silver spoons, which the servant of
Mrs. Soli), proved to be the property of her mistress.
The defence set up for the Prisoner was, 'that fie
was insane, and in support of it a German Jew
sal -disant Physician,- of the. name of Lion, wa'
called.. The Prisoner is also a -Jew. The Dator
was interrupted in his jargon by an officer ofjustieel,
who stated 'that the Prisoner Was, a common thief,
well known at the Public Offic'es ; 'that he made a
praftice of shamming mad, and had been, for a for-
met. offence, tried, convicted, and sentenced to 3
year's imprisonment.
The Prisoner Was found Guilty—Death. The
Judge reprimanded the Dodur.
