Yesterday. the Session's 'pommenced at the Old
P.ailey, before. Lo7d ELL'EMIOROUOI-1, Mr. BMWS
Tiremrsost,, the Loan ~M-'rata, RECORDER, and
other City Officers.
Antonio Depifylo, alias Depinoi meals arraigned, an
a charge of Manslaughter, committed on Williath
Btirn, at Canton, in China, on the 3ot h of Noventher
last. ' Having, through means of an interpreter,
pleaded .-not guilty, the Prisoner was then asked
whether be would be tried by a Jury wholly Eng-
lish, or by one half EngliSh and halt composed of
Foreigners. Having chosen the latter,. his trial was
tiostponed till Friday, that tbesSherilf Might In the
Mean time summon the requisite number of ?cs
reigners to serve on the Jury.
John king was charged with stealing, on the 10th
of (Maher, six wether sheep, the property of
Wm. Jacotub and Edward Woodward. It appeared
that Messrs. Jaceinb and Woodward, who are emi-
nent butchers, had bought a considerable number
of sheep at Salisbury, 147 of which were brought
to Willsden, Middlesex, and, there committed to
the care, of Stephen-Adams, a' shepherd. , Adams
marked them with his initials, S. and A. but there
was this remarkable in the brand, that it inverted
the letter A. This enabled him to swear positively
to two skins which were shown him, and which he
'Said belonged to two of the . sheep. The sheep
were placed under his care on Thursday, the 7th,
and he misled five of them 'on the Sunday
fol-
lowing.` •
J. Wheatley, a butcher at Bayswater, said, thaf
the Prisoner applied to him on the Sunday 'to kill
some sheep for hitn;which he said he. bad bought
from a Richard Fowler, of Stockwell ; -whi4 per-
' sop being afterwardS called, declared that he had
never sold a sheep. in his life. Vsrheatley accord-
ingly killed the sheep, tuft from some suspicious
circumstances appearing, he was induced to send an
information 'to Bow-street, with a description' ot the
prisoner. This description was communicated to Mr.
Jacomb, who, on the Monday, on his way to make
enquiries of Wheatley, at Bayswater, • met 'a man
answering the description given of the thief. After
some conversation, Mr. Jacomb proposed that they
should go together to Bayswater;. but the man
would not -face Wheatley, but ran cif, and atter
being pursued•about a mile, was at length Caught,
and proved to be. the man who had employed
, Wheatley to kill the sheep. The Prosecutor swore
to the brand upon the skins, as identifying the
sheep.
The Prisoner in his defence. said, that he had
bought the sheep of. a . man who was driving them
in York-street, Westminster, at 545. per head.
The Jury immediately brought him in Guilty—,
Death.

H. Jessbp and Richard Brown, two soldiers, were
charged with killing three sheep, the property of
John' Watkins, with intent to steal the eiliCibeil of
the same. ' , '

John Watkins resides at Kensington, artd.-son the
ioth instant a person came to him and asked if he
had lost any sheep ? he replied, not that he knew
of. They then went to a field of his, and there
found three sheep skins and heads, and some of the
carcases, the best parts only being carried off. It ap-
peered, however, that they had been driven' from
another field adjoining to that where they had been
riaughtered.
Lord EL4ENBOROUOII here obt,etved, that this evi-
dence did *uot-go to support' the words of the in-
chatnent, which charged the Prisoners with killing,
with intent to steal; whereas they were actually
etolen before they were killed. 'They were there-
fore acquitted ou this charge, and ordered to be de-
.tanted till a. new indictment, charging them with
sheep-stealing, should be drawn up and submitted
to the Grand JUry.

AnnlWilliams was charged with stealing, from the 1
person of .Tames SoKners, a pocket book ens! two 101.
notes. Somers stated, that on the 4th hist. he was
returning through Kensington from Hammersmith
about ten o'clock at. night. He there came up with
the Prisoner, who was in company with two other
women. He walked about ten minutes in' her com-
pany, and she then turned back and left him. A .
tew minutes atter, on feeling his inside coat Docket,
he missed hisTtleket book, containing three 11. And
two t 01. notes. He had seen the notes in his pocket
hook in thecourseof the day, but not immediately
before ho came up with these people. For about a.
Minute he was as near the other %%omen, as the Pri,
soner, and he might have lost it then for any thing ,
he knew. Ou discovering his loss he itmnediately
went after the Prisoner, and saw her in company .;
with two other women 'and three dragoons. He
gat e charge of her to the patrole, and she was taken.
to Knightsbridge watch-house, where-, • on' being
searched, no property was found on her. He was.
.therefore obliged, to dismiss the:charge and, leflV-
int hits address, he was informed next day, by a Bow
-
street runner, that some money had.been teund- in.
:her possession.
Butterworth, a Bow-street Patrole, said, that. on
the same night, after the woman was discharged, Ito
followed the whole party to Duck-lane, Westminster;.
there he entered the Prisoner's lodgiug, and found
her with a dragoon. On seeing..hiin the Prisoner
seemed terrified, fell upon her kneeS, and gave him
up' five' guinea's in gold Aid silver, besides o one
pound note, which she attempted to hide in the bed.
He found about thirty shillings on the soldier% She
,then confessed that she had robbed Somers of 101-'
The next day,, ow being told. that it would be better,.
for her to confess, she said she had robbed ..Somers Of
201. The pocket-book was not found.
• Lord ELLENBOROUQH, in his charge, observed,
that as the crime of stealing priVately from-the
son ofan individual was of on aggravated and capital'
nature, it would be necessary for the.Juryto be con.!;
vinced that the Prisoner's was the very hanct:einploy-.
ed in taking the money fions the Prosecutor's perseeb
before they could bring her in guilty of tholcaptial
part of the charge. From the statement ofthiProsecti
;...var, it was:possible that tiiiiraielit have been done by
'sums other of the patty. 14 her first confession,
which was given betin 'any proMise was' made to
her, she said she had*irpOect. him of 101. but this
might be understood to tnefin that s:le was only an
kiccomplice in the'att. if satisfied-that she. was one,

of a gang who committed tho robberyi, then they
could only convict het of simple larceny ; bm. • If
'Fatistied that stEt wa, the hand empktved to do the
deed, then they wv.litt convict her of a capital oticitt%,.
oulyjemainiux iuppositioti was atilt she WRS;n-

cide.. The jury,, after a short consideration, brought
her in. Not Andrew was charged with steatitig two sL
three .11. notes, and six guineas -in gold; the proper-
ty of Captain - Median]) .at Hatchett's--Hotel. The
Prisoner then earnestly begged the Court that his
trial might he put off' fur one day, on account of the
absence of a material Witness in his favour. .He
said it was the first time,he had ever appeared at the
bar of justice. He knew very little of the business
of the world; tho Ugh he. • had , been forty-live years
in it, and oWing•to this, and his being confined in a
dungeon in Cold-bath-fields till Friday last, he had
not been able to prepare sufficiently for his trial. His
principal Witness was out of town, but he exPeeted
'hint to-morrow, when he should be prepared to se..
but the charges.

The Cimit observed, t,1:4 Captain Chatham being
an dtfider in the service of his country, delay might
be inconvenient to him.—Captain Chatham th, n
consenting to the delay, the trial was put off' till tt...
Morrow.

TUCKER, THE BANKRUPT.

'Docker, who stands charged with feloniously ah-
iconding from his commission, and embezzling his
effects, was yesterday bronght to the Bar of the Old'
Bailey, on themotion Gunriev.
When put there, the Awned Counsel stated to'
.the Court, that the objea he had in view was to
,move, that the trial of the Prisoner should be post-
poned until the'next Session, in consequence of the
'Prosecutors '(who were* the, Assignees under th 4
Commission of Bankrupt,) being unable to produce
allithe witnesses necessary to support the .chargei
as many of them lived in Devonshire and in corn-
wall, nod could not be procured in time for the ends
cif 'public justice during this Session. And 'he
moved.accordingly.
Mr. KNAPP, on. behalf of tho Prisonot, resisted
the motion. • He observed, that be ha 9 been in
etistody these three weeks, and that the Proseentors
:haVing bad time to have collected all t heir .eiidence,
plight now to have been prepared with it., and not
keep the Prisoner unnecessarily in suspencg with a
charge of so weighty a descriptionover his bead;
'and concluded with hqping, that the Court would
proceed•with his trial in its regular coursd during
this Session.

Mr. GURNEY, in reply, answered, that the

soner t mild fed no inc.otivenietwe from the delay
i• sought for, till next Session,. us, at all events, he
Must be continued in prison till the Swing Assizes
for the County of Devon, being detained under a
Warrant of commitment for felony and forgery of
stamps in that County, where he must be tried ;
bUt at any rate he. ,Was not fully comatted until
Monday last, and he was persuaded that,,consider-
ing therititanitude of this case, the number of the
witnesses, pnd:t heir distance from the metropolis,
the Court would not iinpose upim the prosecutors so
hard a task as going immediately 'to trial with this
nen at so short a notice.
The' Court granted the motion, and the trial con-
sequently stands over till next Session.
