OLD BAILEY.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
John Tjillitt»l Poyntz was indicted for stealing, in the
parish of St. Clement Danes, a horse, value 501., the
property of George Thorne.
The prisoner is a young man of most fashionable ap-
pedrance. He was dressed in a black frock coat, dark
waistcoat and trowsers. His hair was in the first style,
and his fingers displayed some very elegant gold rings.
The prosecutor not answering to his name, his recog-
nizaneee were ordered to be estreated. It was stated by
the officer of the Court that Mr. Thome, who resides
at Brighton, had been written to three times, but that no
answer had been received.
Joseph Sewell examined—l am a stable-keeeper ;on the
9th of February I had a black horse in my stable. The
4iititConer brought • the horse first into my yard, he gave di-
' '"Yeitiorls for it to be taken care of. It remained in nay
stables about 10 days, when it was given up to the owner,
Mr-Thorne. The prisoner said that a person named
1141liPs• wag to lend him some money on the horse, and
asked me what sum he ought to have advanced. I said,
Phillips will lend what he thinks proper.
Samuel Phillips examined—l am a tailor, living in New-
castle-street, Strand. Have known the prisoner three or
, four years. On the 9th of February he called at my house,
and said lie was short of money, and wished me to advance
him 201. I said that I had no objection if he could give
'rue some security. He then said that he only wanted it
for a few days, and he would leave the horse which be
was then riding with me. I consented to this and lent
the money. The horse was then sent to Mr. Sewell's
stables. A gentleman, whom I never saw before, called
and paid me the mons:- I had advanced, and I ordered
the horse to be given up to Thorne.
Henry Richard Puckeridge examined—l, am a police
officer, and apprehended the prisoner. Mr. Thorne was
with rne at the Three Spies public-house before I was
called up stairs where the prisoner was. Mr. Thorne had
had some conversation with him. Mr. Thorne said to
me, 4 There is your prisoner, that is the person who stole
::my 'horse.". The prisoner ' asked if it could not be made
up, . Mr. Thorne replied, " No, the law shall have its
course." I took the prisoner before a Magistrate the next
day after the examination; he told Mr. Thorne where the
horse was.
Cross-examinedby Mr. Puteurs--I did not say before
the Magistrate that the prisoner wished to make the matter
UP. I was not asked the question. I believe the prisoner
Said; when be was apprehended, " You know, Thorne,
I; bought the horse of you." The Magistrate on the second
examination asked to see Mr. Thorne's books, but they
were not produced.
The witnesses were 'also recalled, for the purpose of
proving the Christian name of Thorne, but being unable to
do so, -
Mr. Justice GARBLER, after remarking upon the evi-
dence, directed the Jury to acquit the prisoner.
Verdict--Not Guilty.
The prisoner was then handed over to a tipataff of the
King's Bench Prison, in whose custody he had been
brought up by a writ of " Habeas" to take his trial.
Mr. Justice PARK gave positive directions to the Clerk
of Arraigns to see that the recognizance of Thorne was
• estreated. His Lordship said such conduct was shameful.
The man had got his money back, and since had done
every thing in his power to pervert the ends of justice.
Maria Williams, aged 22, a dashing " nymph of the
pave," was indicted for stealing in the dwelling-house of
• • .Sir Henry Hardinge a coat and other articles, value 61.,
the property of Richard Thomas.
Thomas, at the time 'of the robbery, we, butler to Sir
Henry Hardinge. He did not appear when called, and his
recognizance was ordered to be estreated. In answer to a
question by Mr Justice Park. It was stated that, after
the robbery, he (Thomas) had been discharged from Sir
Henry's service.
• Mr. Justice PARK told the Jury, that in the absence
of Thomas, there would not be sufficient evidence to con-
vict the prisoner, he would not therefore occupy their
time by inquiring into the particulars of the case. He
must, however, observe, that this case presented an awful
warning to those who kept servante. Thomas was in the
service of Sir Henry Hardinge, and one night he intro-
duced the unfortunate woman at the bar into his master's
house, where she remained all night, and in the morning
contrived to get out with the articles named in the indict-
Ment. His Lordship added, that he was nut surprised
'that Thomas under such circumstances did not make his
'appearance. Verdict—Not Guilty.
Mr. Justice PARK-Officer give the woman her things,
for her net being convicted the law supposes they belong
to her
Shadrach Mitchell, aged 18, and Joseph IVilliams,
aged 18, were capitally indicted for assaulting William
Stevens on the King's highway, and stealing from his per-
eon a handkerchief.
The details of the ease were quite uninterestiog, and
not sufficiently strong to convict the prisoners. The Jury
therefore stopped the Learned Judge from summing up,
and returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
