OLD BAILEY.

Yesterday T. Je.ff's was indicted for stealing a dozen of wine
and other property belonging to William Allen, from his dwel-
ling house.
Elizabeth Odd lived at Newington with Mr. Allen. A quan-
tity of meat was left in the safe on the morning of Saturday the
18th August. On Sunday morning the safe was broken open,
and they were gone. She saw part of them after Wards at Wor-
ship-street.
John Mann, a.police officer, searched the prisoner's house ;
found some provisions, a bunch of keys, and a bottle which
had contained white wine. He took the prisoner into cus-
tody next day, upon which he told witness that he thought
he should go this time, but he did not care so that he escaped
the dancers.

Other witnesses identified some of the property.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty ; and Mr. Alley inti-
mated that he had been tried and convicted before. _ _ _

Peter Doran was indicted for maliciously killing and slaying
Thomas Waylan, in A uguA last.
Mr. ALLEY stated the facts of the case. The parties met at
a public house, where they quarrelled. The deceased charg-
ed the prisoner with having robbed him of a sovereign. A
pugilistic contest ensued, in which the deceased received a
heavy fall. On opening the body the rijit lobe of the liver
was found to be enlarged. The deceased survived about a fort-
night.
The Surgeon gave it as his opinion, that the deceased did
not die in consequence of external violence, though it might
have been accelerated by the blows which he received. He felt
convinced that the deceased could have lived only a short time.
The evidence in support of the prosecution went to proVe that
the prisoner was in the act of dressing himself when the deceased
again struck at him.
The prisoner handed in a written defence, which however
was not read.

Peter Dunn spoke as to the provocation which the prisoner
had received.

Mr. Justice BEST summed up, and the Jury returned a
verdict of Not Guilty.
Win. North, aged 54, for a nameless crime, was found
Guilty.—Death.
Walter Blanchard, aged sixteen, was indicted for stealing
twenty-nine towels, value 20s. the property of Lord Viscount
Barnard.

Win. York, servant to Lord Barnard, stated, that he left
the hour. in Portman-street, fastened, the 17th of August, to
go into Cie yard,-and on his return found the prisoner in the
door-way, with the property on him. The prisoner begged for
mercy.
Sellers, the officer, produced the property, which was identi-
fied. Verdict—Guilty.
Lord Barnard's servant asked for his expences.
Mr. Justice BEST—Did his Lordship desire you to ask?
Witness—NO, my Lord.
Mr. Justice BEST—If his Lordship desires you, you may
ask again ; but I am sure his Lordship would be offended at it.
Alexander Brown, aged 10, for stealing on the 11th of July
seven sovereigns and other property belonging to William
Furneaux, in the Parish of St. Anne, Westminster.
Furneaux stated that the prisoner lodged with his mother,
in his house. Left the money which he had collected to pay
his rent, in his breeches pocket, in the drawers in the kitchen ;
had got part of it from the prisoner's mother, who lodged in
his house still, hut the prisoner absconded immediately.
The prosecutor's daughter stated, that she went to open the
door, leaving the prisoner in the kitchen where were her father's
small clothes containing the money. When she returned the
prisoner was standing near the drawers. No other person had
been in the room. She carried the key of the room to her
mother a few minutes before the robbery was committed.
Mrs. Furneaux corroborated the other evidence.
Prisoner said they had offered to make it up. If he would
have paid, they would not have troubled him.
This was denied by Mrs. Furneaux ; but
John Price, schoolmaster, spoke to the character of the boy,
which was corroborated by the testimony of two females.
Verdict—Guilty.
John Pavey was brought to the Bar charged with feloniously
marrying Mary Thomas, on the 14th of July, his wife Bridget
being then alive.
Mary Thomas—The prisoner introduced himself to her and
walked with her some time about Whit Sunday, and was mar-
ried to him at St. Clement's Danes on the 14th of July, he de-
claring that he was a single man. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. Mr. Knight, by banns, and in the presence
of witness's mother and other persons. A person came to their
lodgings and claimed the prisoner.
The prisoner said witness knew all about his being married,
when she agreed to marry him.
This the witness positively denied.
The mother of Mary Thomas and another woman swore to
hearing the ceremony.
Prisoner—She knows nothing about it, my Lord, the cere-
mony was all over before she came to church.
John M‘Carman knew that the prisoner was married to
Bridget Towell at St. Bride's, and that she was still living.—
They have been married upwards of seven years, and have one
child alive.
Sarah Webb had known the prisoner's first wife. He was
married to her in the month of May, about seven years ago.—
They had four or five.children. The prisoner left her about 12
months since. . .

Richard Pearce, the officer who apprehended the prisoner,
produced copies of the marriage registers, which were put in
and read by the clerk.
Mary Thomas was re-examined—The prisoner had no pro-
perty of her, and had behaved very kindly to her.
The prisoner said the certificate was not right in the church
books.
Mr. Justice BEST—Though the church books were in the
sea, there is evidence enough against you, and you render your
case worse by every observation you make.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, without hearing the
summing up by the Judge.
At two o'clock Mr. Justice Best left the Bench, which was
taken by the Recorder.
W. Strade, aged 19, was indicted for stealing a handker-
chief from the person of W. Richards, in Great Russell-
street, Bloomsbury. The robbery was committed in the pub-
lic street. Verdict—Guilty.
The REcoaDER immediately sentenced him to be trans-
ported for life.
The unhappy mother of the prisoner interceded for him on
her knees, but was told that no mercy could be extended to-
wards him. She left the Court in the greatest agitation.
Three other boys, one of them only twelve years old, were
indicted for a similar offence. The evidence against them was
very clearly given by two of the Bow-street patrol. The owner
of the handkerchief did not appear, nor was his name known
to the officers. The prisoners were in the crowd which had as-
sembled in Pall-mall, when the King was going to prorogue
Parliament, on the 6th of August.
A JURYIVIAIs'—Is there any reward to the officers for such
apprehensions ?
RECORDER—Not the least.
' Verdict—Guilty. Recommended to mercy; but the re-
commendation was repelled by the Recorder, who dwelt on the
enormity of their offence, and the dexterity with which it was
committed. The younger two were to be sentenced for seven
years to the prison-ship, and there educated ; and the older,
Towler, aged B year, transported for life.
Leadbitter, the officer, intimated that Towler had been in
custody before, and that he had taken him out of the company
of thieves, and conveyed him home to his father.

SMALL Pox.—On passing Saffron-hill, yester-
day, we perceived several windows closed, and
on inquity, learned, that no less than 15 chil-
dren had died of the small pox.—(illonthig
Paper.)
Suicinr.—On Thursday morning, a wheel-
wright living in Baltic-place, Old-street, St. Luke's, had a
quarrel with his wife, on which he went down into the cellar
and hanged himself; he was found shortly after quite dead.
He has left five children to lament his untimely end.

Cutt,n DROPPING.—On Wednesday evening
as the watchman WaS cryibg the hour of nine
o'clock, in Wimpole-street, Cavendish-square,
he found a fine male child, apparently four
months old, wrapped up in a blanket upon the step
of the door at No. 24, and quite asleep from the
effect of laudanum, or some sleeping drops, ad-
ministered to it by its mother, po doubt. The
child was well dressed in a fine linen shirt, a
white dimity bed -gown and robe, nankeen pelisse,
a dark ground coloured shawl with a rich border,
a lace cap, and a light blue check handkerchief.
There was another handkerchief bundle close to
it, full of new dresses for the child, and a written
billet in a good hand, recommending it to the
protection of Providence. The child was taken
to St. Mary-le-bone workhouse, and the parish
have offered a reward for the apprehension of its
unnatural mother.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDIIALL.—BRUTAL OUTRAGE.—A ilia& looking
young fellow, named Thomas Fitzgerald, who hasbeen detain-

bd in custody for nearly a fortnight, until it should be ascer-
tained whether an unfortunate female, upon whom he was

charged with having committed a most brutal outrage, Would
survive the effects of his barbarity, was brought up yesterday
before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. Aldeiman Cox.
Eliza Simpson, the female in question, although apparently
in a very enfeebled and dangerous state, was sufficiently re-
covered to attend. She stated herself to be a servant at a house
of ill-fame, No. 6, George-alley, Fleet-market, and knew the
prisoner as one of the constant frequenters in that diigraceful
sink of vice and infamy. A little before twelve o'clock at night,
on last Saturday week, he came to their house in company with
another man, who was much intoxicated, and sent for two pots
of beer; she told him that was not a public-house, and if her
mistress was at home she would not suffer it. The porter, how-
ever, was brought, and in her endeavours to prevent them
drinking it there, a great part of it was spilled. The prisoner
insisted that she should give him money to replace it. This,
however, she refused, and wished them to go away. He then
said he was sent there by her mistregs, to take care of the house,
and insisted upon her giving him all the money she had taken
during her mistress's absence, and on her refusing knocked her
down, and knelt upon her stomach with all his weight to keep
her so, while he forcibly took the key of the cupboard out of
her pocket. He then stamped upon her with great violence,
and stood upon her body while he unlocked the cupboard, and
took 18d out of a cup. There was money to the amount of
13s. 4d. in another cup, but it was out of his reach, and conse-
quently escaped his observation. The outrage she had suffered
occasioned her to vomit a considerable quantity of blood, and
the medical gentleman under whose care she had been ever
since, declared that she would never completely recover from
the injury she had sustained. She had called out for assistance
at.the time, and there were persons who had witnessed great
part of the prisoner's ill-usage towards her, but they could not
be prevailed upon to come forward and give evidence, from their
dread of the vengeance of the number of Irish inhabiting and
frequenting the alley.
The prisoner exhibited the utmost unconcern and indifference
while this story was telling, and did not contradict any part of
the brutality imputed to him, but seemed to think the whole
of his conduct fully justified by his having, as he said, found
the complainant's hand in his pocket. He, however, denied
the robbery.
The principal charge on which the prisoner had been appre-
hended at the time, was the violent assault, there being reason to
apprehend that the unfortunate woman's life was in danger; but
upon hearing the circumstances, the Worthy Alderman was of
opinion that the due punishment of the prisoner would be more
certainly effected by committing him for the felony, and he was
accordingly sent to Newgate to take his trial for stealing in the
dwelling house.
MARLBOROUGEI-STREET.—CURIOUS CASE.—Yesterday,
in consequence of the complaint of a foreigner named Gilderoi
Francis Paule, Captain Gordon, a respectable military officer,
appeared before JOHN EDWARD CONANT, Esq., the sitting
Magistrate, on a summons, calling on him to account for ille-
gal?), detaining some clothes and papers, his property.
The foreigner stated his complaint in the French language ;
and it appeared from his detail, that he, sometime about the
30th of last June, engaged with the Captain at the Cape of
Good Hope as his servant, and on the 2d of the following month
he sailed in the Sophia for England, still considering kin s lf,
and acting as, the Captain's servant. On the 12th of the same
month the vessel touched at St. Helena, and, wishing to pay a
visit to the tomb of Napoleon, he procured leave of absence
and permission from Captain Gordon's lady to go on shore for
that purpose. He certainly was most anxious to get ashore, as
he had been in the army and had served immediately under the
eye of Napoleon in the celebrated Legion of Honour, and had
obtained the grand cross of that order through the particular
recommendation of his immediate commanding officers. The
Frenchman very enthusiastically declared that he was in Russia,
and when only a subaltern officer he was before Moscow, and
had followed the Emperor through most of his campaigns; and
even had he returned to his service when the " Eagle of
France" was again raised, and the remnant of the " Legion"
rallied round it, but he only had the misfortune to see that
well-known banner torn to the ground, and its devoted de-
fenders crushed on the plains of Waterloo, where he lay co-
vered with wounds, unable either to defend his colours or assist
his master : all these recollections crowding on his mind, he
determined, " as a true Frenchman" to drop a prayer and ad-
miring tear over the grave of that illustrious and wonderful
man. However, while with a commissary of the island he was
performing this vigil over Napoleon's grave, his conduct and
clamorous exclamations of grief, with some other inconsistent
acts, drew some attention, and he was taken into custody by
the English guards, which caused some considerable delay ;
and by the time he could get to the shore, he had the misfor-
tune to perceive the Sophia under weigh, and he offered all he
had, a Spanish dollar, to the watermen so follow the vessel,
but they spurned his offer, and amused themselves by laughing
at his distress. Consequently he was under the disagreeable
necessity of remaining where he was ; but in a few days after,
another homeward-bound East Indiaman touched at the island,
and he was received on board, and allowed to work his passage
home. On arriving in England, he obtained Captain Gordon's
address, and called on him, demanding a trunk of clothes which
were on board : the Captain turned him out, and was asto-
nished not only at seeing him in London, but at his impu-
dence in calling on him after deserting him (as he called it) at
St. Helena, in such a disgraceful manner. Finding he could
not obtain his property from the Captain, he applied to the
Foreign Minister, who advised him to make application at a
police-office. Being in very great distress, and wishing to re-
turn to his native country, he had procured the summons for
the attendance of the Captain at this office : he valued his
clothes that were left in the ship at 201.
Captain Gordon, in a very gentlemanly manner, listened at-
tentively to this detail, and in the way of reply, said, on his
return from India with his family, as passengers in the Sophia,
the vessel stopped at the Cape of Good Hope, where, being in
want of a servant, the complainant was represented to him as
being in the most abject distress, and also that he wanted to
get back to France ; and, receiving a very good character of
him, he (the Captain) from motives of humanity took him into
his service, and was then informed by him that he bad no
clothes or necessaries for so long a voyage ; therefore he (the
Captain gave directions to his agent to advance the man 25 rix ?
dollars a rix dollar passes current at the Cape for 45.), and sub-
sequent y some more money ; this was done from a humane
motive towards the complainant. On the 2d of July the ship
sailed, and on the 12th arrived at St. Helena; there Paule,
who proved himself but an indifferent servant, whatever quell-
ties he might possess as a soldier, took French leave, and went
ashore without consulting any person, or even asking permis-
sion ; he knew the vessel was to_sail at ten o'clock in the morn.
ing, but he never made his appearance even when the signal
gun was fired at one o'clock in the day, the time of sailing being
protracted to that hour. Ile was not to be found, and to oblige
him a boat was twice sent on shore, yet the sailors could not
find him, although some of them in the morning had perceived
him in an ecstacy of delight, with tears in his eyes, dancing
and capering before a portrait of Buonaparte s consequently the
vessel sailed without him, and another man, named Portello,
for the remainder of the voyage performed the duties of his
situation ; and on the ship's arriving in the River, the Captain
gave the trunk to him, directing him to restore it to Paule, on
his paying back the money which had been advanced him.
Now, were he inclined to pay back the money, he should re-
ceive hack his clothes; but his disgraceful conduct in deserting
at St. Helena, and subsequently the display of such bad prin-
ciple and ingratitude in London, entirely precluded the possi-
bility of any other arrangement being entered into. If he had
no clothes at the Cape, how could those purchased for 25 rix
dollars (about 51. sterling) be worth 201. ? That was absolutely
impossible.
The foreigner said all the clothes were distributed and sold
by Portello. He called a French sailor, who proved having
seen them sold on board by Portello, who said they were
given him.
The Captain also said there was no, certain wages agreed
upon, but it was understood to be 25 dollars a month • Paule
only entered his employ on the 2d of July, the day the vessel
sailed.
The Magistrate said 'it was the young man's misfortune in
not catching the ship, and certainly he had an undoubted right
to go ashore ; he was not under any restrictions, and his being
taken prisoner might have caused his delay ; certainly nothing
could authorize the defendant in giving the man's property
away, having no controul over it ; the man's clothes might now
be worn out and worth nothing; perhaps they were sold and de-
stroyed ; the complainant might conceive himself entitled to
the money he received for previous services done.
The Captain said Paule had done no previous service, and
the clothes were not sold ; besides, he was not to be compelled
to look after and take care of his servant's wearing-apparel.
After some few remarks between the parties, they, by di-
rection of the Magistrate, retired to endeavour to arrange the
affair. They did so, and the complainant shortly after quitted
the office, being desired to call at the Captain's house.
TIIAMES POLICE.—John Budd Tarring, a man of very
gentlemanly exterior, whose connections are stated to be very
respectable, and who formerly was himself in affluent circum-
stances, was charged with the following felony :
Henry Shields, mate of the Kane, lying in the West India
Docks, stated he saw the prisoner walk over the deck of the
Kane on Wednesday forenoon, and go towards the Thomas.
—He had no great coat on when he went on board the Thomas,
but, on leaving it, witness observed he had one on, and that

he went from the Thomas to the Augustus : then he lost sigh
Of him.
Alexander Gibson saw the prisoner come on board the Au'
gustus, and throw a gnat coat down the forecastle, and run on
shore as fast as he was able. Witness picked up a pocket-book
that had fallen from one of the pockets, and dehvered
Downer the officer.
Richard Smith, second mate of the Thomas, sworn.---At
8 o'clock on Wednesday morning, he put the coat and pocket-
book into a drawer belonging to the Captain, which was 110-
locked ; he did not see the property again till Gibson, the LP'
witness, produced it.
Thomas Downer, an officer, stated he was at the West India
Docks, and heard the cry of " Stop thief." He saw the
prisoner running; he pursued and apprehended him.
The prisoner exhibited strong feelings of remorse at the un-
happy situation in which he had involved himself. He diem'
no defence, and was fully committed for trial,
Bow-STREET.— Yesterday William Janes, a suspicion
character, was examined before THOMAS HALLS, Esq on sus-
picion of stealing property found upon him, under the following
circumstances : —A bout 11 o'clock, yesterday morning, Anthony'
Harrison, one of the city inarshalmen, and William Lucas, II
city-officer, were proceeding in company together along Carey"
street, Lincoln's-Inn-Fields, and observed the prisoner coming,
towards them, carrying something bulky, tied in a handkur"
chief. Harrison knew him to be a bad character and susret-
ing that it was stolen property, crossed over the way to Jain'',
and asked to see what the bundle contained. The prisoner
hesitated in complying, and Harrison seized hold of the bun-
dle, and upon examination of the same, found it to contain
two white handkerchiefs, marked T. C. G. some tea loose in
one of the handkerchiefs, a pocket book with five sovereigns
in it, some plain cards, a silver pen and pencil case three latch,
keys, some pawnbroker's duplicates, and a turnpike ticket 02
Nottinghill Gate, dated 20th September 1822, by which it is.
presumed that he had just come off that road, and that the
property is the produce of some robbery committed in that ,
rection during Thursday night. He was then secured, and
the Officers having ascertained the place where he lodged, went.
and searched his apartments, but did not find any thing con-
cealed there except a large riding whip.
He alleged in his defence that the money had been_ in
, "::
possession for some time, and was his own, but he refuseu
"
say from whom he received it. lie was committed for re-e 0
=nation.

--------
LAMBETII-STREET.—A Mr. and his wife (we f(4.'
bear giving the names at present), professors of embroider)`*
lace-making, &c. residing in Prescot-street, Goodman's-fields,
appeared to summons before Sir DANIEL WILLIAMS, tiel
Sitting Magistrate when the following charges were preferrd,
against them by a'little girl named Thompson, one "

their apprentices : cg
The poor little girl, whose wan and emaciated apßearanis
were strong proofs of her having experienced an insufficiency o-
nutriment to support nature,being questioned by the a,aagl- ,ea
as tc the nature of an oath, and having satisfactorily exliisntd,
it, v, as sworn. She then stated that she was " eaten I,IP /1f
vermin and the itch ;' that the defendants had twenty-one F:';
male apprentices besides herself ; that they all lay upon slit
scanty beds ; she was obliged to be out of bed by four o'el°'
in the morning, and work from that hour until half-past nix!?
when she got her breakfast, which consisted of half a round t"
a quartern loaf, buttered, and half a pint of hot water, Or
times enriched with coffee grouts ' • she worked then until '7l
o'clock, at which time she got her dinner of boiled potatoes,
he
meat not half done, nor even half enough of that same ; .sea
did not often get meat for dinner, which was mostly, comPrs t
of four potatoes broken in hot water ; she worked from tilaf
hou r until eleven, when she had her supper of a half slice i°
bread rubbed over with " stinking fat." 9
MAGISTRATE—What did you get to drink at your me '—'l.
Complainant—Nothing but water, your Worship ; I was
lowed to drink as much as I pleased of that. nil
These were the only meals she had during the day;
no clothes but what she had from the parish when beninclal
prentice, and was often three and four weeks without ent°l:7l_,,
a Church at all. The rest of the apprentices were trams
the same manner as she was.
A young woman who lived servant with the defendants cf.;
roborated the girl's statement in every respect ; and added,;,,
sl.e and the other apprentices got clean linen only once thst
night, and often went a month without having any; and
they were kept as hard at work on Sundays as on week da,37ere,
The girl's mother said, that the present proceedings al)*
instituted in consequence of her daughter having rePea'„ of.
complained to her of being half-starved, and otherwisesrish
used by the defendants. The child was bound from the P
of St. Giles's.
The Magistrate inquired of the mother, if she had any 11.::
son to have the girl turned over to ? She answered in the orboi-e
tive. His Worship then addressing the defendants, w.r„Art
of the Jewish persuasion, said, they had acted a most voeArie-
towards this child, and the others entrusted to them ; t,Apa
marked, that although the laws of the country protects 110
in their religion,. it did not allow them to infringe licb,
established religion, as it was clear they had done, W,oe
when satisfactorily proved, would form a very serious off
in itself. 4l
The defendants denied the charge in Coto, alleging that
originated out of an old grudge.
The Magistrate said, that as the case required a eonsi „va
degree of consideration, he therefore felt it necessary to stj,,,des
the consideration for the present. The address of all the Y7O la'
was then taken, with a view of bringing them forward &gal '
order that the matter may be finally discussed. •
