ROME CIRCUIT.

HERTFORD, MARCH 10-,--Thomas Stevens, a man
of credit in the county, the proprietor of a piper and
corn mills in the neighbourhood of Watford, was tried ;
for stealing a bushel of flour, the property of W. I
Wells, a baker at Watford. It appeared during the
trial, that the prosecution originated in the malice of j
two discarded servants, and the Jury, without hesita-
tion, acquitted the. prisoner.
Edward IVillium Rokrts, the swindler, who has
lately attracted so much of public notice, and Dauhr
Maitland, were indifited for a conspiracy, with one •i
Cole and others, and. thereby defrauding Frederick.
Norrii of a variety of articles of household furniture.
Norris said he was an upholsterer at Cheshunt in 1
this county. In the month of July Cole and Ra-
berta came to his house in a post-chase; -Cute saki 1
.he had taken a house at BrOxbourne, and that he
would give the witness the...jab of furnishing it, and
desired that he would come overthe next morning,
which was on a Satioday,, to take measure
.for the
carpets, Curtains, &c. He 'accordingly went the
next day, 'aird Sent in 'about 2.01.' worth .of-furniture.
He then thought it prudent; to ask fora reference.
Mr. Cele 'Mentioned the names of several Lords
and Earls, but said you may as well go to my Soli.
citor, Mr. CraWford, No I, Charles-square, fluxion,
he has six or 70001. of mine in his hand's, and will
give you satisfaction. He
,accordingly went there,
and Mr. Crawford, confirmed this statement, ob-
-serving, Mr. Cole was a man of large landed property.
- He therefore/ went on furnishing the house on this
assurance, and frequently :saw Roberts in the corn-
pany of Cole. Shortly afterwards he thought it
right to ask for some money oh account. Cole and
Roberts were then at' the Six Belts, where they
usually lived, while the house was. prepared. Cole
said he would.give the witness 'a draft for 501. on
his attorney, Crawford. The witness said he wanted
money. Cole replied, that Crawford would give
him money-for it—if he did not, he would the mo-
ment he brought it back..
The'witness went to Crawford, but the bill was
not paid ; he then,came back to Broxbourne, and
saw Roberts, who told him that It& expected Cole
would dine on Sunday with Lord some one ; but, in
fad, thit goods were all moved off in the night, and
Roberts was apprehended the next day in the Lon-
don-road.

By the testimony of, Mary Little,. and other wit-
nesses, itappeared- that the goodS were carried .to
a court neior Nelson-street, in the neighbourhood
of Shoreditch ; some. were pawned by I.Vlaitiand, and
others sold to it person of the • name of Clarke, by
the direction 'of.Cole, uatne.of Lidyard.
Trott, the Police Officer, stated, that being upon
the watch, in Baltic-street-, - where he -knew Cole
lodged, he.niet Roberts going to his lodgings.
