the pocket pistol, and the cloth pistol-case. They
paid-cut-red him, and on coming to the stairs with
hiot,-be suddenly flung "hitriself down two flight's,
and endeavoured to escape, but/was secured.
'Roberts, an approver in this case, they saw ac-
cidentally in Whiteehapel : he attempted to escape
tound a coach from them, and flung from him a
pocket-book, which they picked up, and found in it
some duplicates of articles pawned, which proved to
be part of the property taken from Mr. Spencer's
and in his breeches pocket they found a pocket pis-
tol, which, with its cloth case found in his coat'
pocket, precisely matched the pistol and case found
upon-Fordham. • Upon Bridges they found some 'du-
plicates for more of the articles plundered; and also
the identical hat of which young Spencer was rob-
bed. They were all taken before the Magistrates.
Roberts proposed.to.turn,King's,evidence against his
• accomplices, and save his own life; and he was the
last witness now examined for the prosecution. - He
swore there were in all.six of the gang ; namely,
himself, the four Prisoners, and another named
William Bardin, not taken.
Four of them met on the afternoon of the :sth
December, at the Catherine Wheel, near Wltte-
. chapel, and concerted the robbery of Mr. Spencer..
One of them, Bridges, was a stranger to him ; and
Fordham abed Harvey, Who lived near Mr. Spencer's,
first suggested the 'robbery,. saying he had a great
deal of money ; and were to meet them at the place,
which they did. It was agreed, that.Fordhatn should
knock at the door, and when it was opened, he and
the other Prisoners were to ru.h on, while Harvey and
Roberts were to remain as sentinels on the outside,
and give the alarm if any people approached. When
the scuffle began, and the neighbourhood was alarm-
ed, they, both ran away, supposing the rest were
folloWing them. ,
This witness sustained a long cross-examination
from Mt. ALLEY and-Mr. KNAPP. He said he had
the pistol that was found upon him from ii'ordham,
to whom he paid for •it 12s: 6d. being half what
Fordham said the pair had cost hirri.
The Prisoners Fordham, Harvey, and Hartford,
denied, in the most solemn manner, all concern in
the fad, as did Bridges .at first ; but he afterwards
said that he was seduced by Roberts to go on the
party along with two other men, not yet taken ; but
that none -of the other Prisoners were at all present.
- Harvey Was the only Prisoner who adduced any
witness, and he-produced a Sawyer, who was his
uncle, with his aunt, and some others of the family,
to prove an alibi on the day ; they all swore he was
at the uncle's house, or in his company, the whole'
day of the robbery, from.eleven in the morning to the
same hour at night, and underwent a very acute
cross-examination by Mr. GURNEY. It appeared,
however,. their testimony for the Prisoner met no
credit.

Mr. Justice 'LAWRENCE summed up the evidence
with great perspicuity, and the Jury found all the
Prisoners Guilty—Death.
Catherine 11P earthy was now capitally cone iced
for uttering base money, it being her third convic-
tion for the like crime.

And Martin Aldridge, of a single felony, for steal-
ing lead from a roof where he was employed as a
labourer.

SURREY SESSIONS.

WEDNEttbAY, JANUARY 14.

The Prisoners having been arraigned. (among
.whom was the celebrated Mrs. Georgiana Courser,
alias Barrington, for a felony) ' • Stonard, an
old man from Aldershot, near Farnham, was tried
on a charge of stealing two sacks, containing barley
and tailings. A s,trong chain of circumstantial evi•
dence was produced, and the property found in .his
bed-room was. identified as the pi-operty of_ the Pro-
secutOr.—Verda, Guilty of stealing one sack. He
said he was sixty-seven ycar3 of age, and had three
children; and was therefore 'recommended to mercy.
—Sentence, to be imprisoned for three. months hard
labour.

Mi Wrirrponb; Coroner for Devon, lately took
an inquest on the body of Mary Morris, , a young
woman of Plymouth Dock, a melancholy instance
of suicide. The case -was as follow:—She was
betrothed to a young man of Dock, and their banns
were out. After this she gave her company to one
of the Lancashire sharp-shooters, which so irritated
her former betrothed lover,' that he upbraided her
with her perfidy ; this she took so to heart; and
feeling the force of her ingratitude,'she went home,
and. took a strong dose of arsenic, and died in the
Most excruciating torments. The Jury,-after taking
the case -into consideration; returned a Verdkt of
Lunacy.
. On Wednesday. moi-ni ng one of the watchmen of
Chester, named Boulton; was-found-drowned in one
of the locks of the Ellesmere Canal, at •the Tower
Wharf. It appears that his lanthorn . was found in
the cabin of a fiat, his hat and stick in the graVing-•
tibck adjoining, and his rattle swimming rit;lit over
the spot where . the body was found : from these
circumstances two fiatmen (now in custody) are sus-
'peeted of throwing him into the lock. An
Inquisi-
tion was held on the body before the Coroners of
this city on Wednesday and Thursday, when a .ver-
dict was gi.Ven o Wiltul. Murder against some
person or persons unknown.
It is evident that every person, young. and old,
should purchase books wherein they are materially,
interested. This being the case with respe6,t to the
" GUIDE TO HEALTH," which is. SO justly recom-
mended to young men and boys, an early attention
to its maxims will guard theni from a fatal rock on
which thousands have split,; and be the means of
preserving their bodies from disease, their souls,
their Minds, and all their faculties, .from destru&ion.
The Guide to Health is sold by Mathews and-Leigh;

Printers of Provincial Newspapers -in the United

If prc-of was. wanting to evince how zealous are
Fortune's Votaries to participate more especially of

the two 30,0001. Prizes, which, among numerous
other Capitals, enrich the present State Lottery
Wheel, it iimsullicient to state the fad?,-that by far.
