OLD BAILEY-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

Richard Flannagan, aged 19, and John Spragg, aged
19, were capitally indicted for stealing in the dwelling-
house of Richard Bromfet Storrs, and others, his part-
ners, ninety watches, a quantity of jewellery and other
articles, of the value of 300/. their property.
Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS appeared for the prosecution,
and Mr. CLARKSON for the prisoners. •

Mr. Storr stated that he was an auctioneer, is part-
nership with Messrs. Machin and Debenham, in King-
street, Covent-garden. On the night of the 12th
of January he went to bad about twelve o'clock, pre-
viously to which he had seen that all the doors were pro-
perly fastened and the property was safe. The prisoner
Fiannagan waa a servant of the firm, and used to sleep on
the premises for the purpose of protecting the property.
About six o'clock on the morning of the 13th witness
hea-d a great noise, he felt alarmed, and went down stairs
to ascertain the cause, when he discovered that the pre-
mis,s had been broken open, and property to a great
amount taken away. Four desks had also been broken
open in the office, and about 6/. in silver and copper ek-
tracted. The prisoner Flannagan slept on the premises,
and when witness went down stairs, he found him standing
near the inner warehouse with nothing on but his shirt.
Witness asked him how he could possibly sleep during the
time that the desks were broken open so near to where he
lay, as the noise must have been very great. He, how-
ever, refused to make any reply to the question.
John Conroy stilted that he was a policeman, and was
passing Messrs. Machin and Debenham's house about six
o'clock on the morning of the 13th of January. He dis-
covered that the street-door was ajar, and shortly after-
wards the prisoner Flannagan came out, with only his shirt
on, and exclaimed, " 0 God, the house has been robbed."
Witness then went into the warehouses, and found them
all in disorder and confusion. He found an old pair of
boots lying in Flann tgan's bed-room.
Richard Gardner, a Bow-street officer, stated that
he took the prisoner Flannagan into custody. He did not
make any promise or threat to induce him to make a con-
fession ; but he voluntarily exclaimed " I am ready to
break my heart !" Witeess then took him into a room,
and sent for one of the partners, on whose arrival the
prisoner said that he had let two men into the house at
the street door on the Saturday night, and another man
was placed outside to keep watch, and that this was the
way the robbery was effected. He added that he was told
the whole of the property was sold for 621.

31r. Thomas, the superintendent of police, said, on the
following morning, after Flannagan was brought to the
station- house, in consequence of what he had stated
to the officer, he (Mr. Thomas) sent for him, when
again repeated that his heart was ready to break;
witness asked him if he wished to make a confession, and
he replied that he did. Witness then told him that it
would be his duty to take it down in writing, and lay it
before the Commissioners. After being told this, the
-is. net wade a confession which he afterwards signed.—
Tre confession was here put in and lead, which was merely
that he let the men in who stole the property, and that for
the part he took in the affair he was promised half the
produce of the robbery, but that he only got one-sixth.
This was the case for the prosecution.
Spragg did not say any thing in his defence; but when
Flarwagan was called on he handed in a long written paper,
which differed very materially from the confession he
mace at the time of his being apprehended. He
now stated, that although the wen got in by his means,
he did not do it, with any wilful intent to plunder the pre-
mises, but that hearing an alarm given in the street be
optmel the door to look out, and the men rushed in. _

- - A number of respectable witnesses gave both the pri-
soners a good character for honesty.
The LORD CIIIEF JUSTICE minutely recapitulated the
evidence, in doing which his Lordship remarked onsthe
extreme improbability of the defence now handed in by
the pri,oner Flmnagan.
Other witnesses deposed to a silver hunting-watch, gold
chain, trowsers and other articles of dress, which were
found upon Spragg at the time he was apprehended, being
their property, and that they had deposited theta at
Mes,+rs. Machin and Debenham's.

The Jury consulted for a short time, when the Fore-
man said we find both prisoners Guilty, my Lord, but we
strongly and most earnestly recommend Fiannagan to
mercy, on account of the temptation he was in, in having
so much property in his care.
Lord TENTERDENI will take down your recommen-
dation, gentlemen, and the grounds of it, but is it not a
very common case for servants to be entrusted with large
property ?
Foreman—We would also wish to recommend him to
mercy on account of his youth, and the excellent character
that he has received.
Lord TENTERDEN.-Your recommendation, gentlemen,
shall be attended to.

NEW COURT.
Henry Brouyh, an interesting-looking lad, was in-
dicted :or stealing, on the 23d of March, two smelling_
bottles, value the property of Samuel Gale, chemist
and druggist—Guilty.
George Mayhew was indicted for stealing, on the 13th
of March, seven yards of carpeting, value 51., the property
of John Bovey.—Guilty.
Wm. Davis, alias Fountain, was indicted for stealing
a large quantity of green-house plants, value 51., the pro.
perty of the Hon. Juliana Curzons, of Hayes, Middlesex.
The facts being clearly proved against the prisoner, the
Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. Serjeant Axastx told the prisoner, it was only in
the year 1828 that he had him at that bar, and sentenced
him to seven years' transportation; since which time it
appeared, he induced some one to apply on his behalf to
the executive power, and obtain a commutation of his
sentence, and he had been suffered to go again at large,
instead of having been grateful for the clemency he had
received, and returning to a virtuous course, he bad with
renewed vigour pursued his system of nocturnal plunder,
and became the terror of the neighbourhood. The Court,
however, would tr,ke care that he was this time lent out
of the country, he was immediately sentenced to seven
years' transportation.
The prisoner, in a most insolent manner, told the
Learned Judge, that he hoped he would sit where he did
th
until he returned, and he would then let him know what
was going on at the Bay. •

Thomas Mitchell was indicted for stealing, on the 16th

trinkets, and sovereign', to the value of 100/., the property
of Mary Bliss Slater..--,Not Guilty.

About 125 sailors were removed to-day from
the tender off the Tower. They are a part of the recruits
lately raised. Their destination, we b'lieve' is Ports-
mouth. This circumstance has probably given rise to a
report which has been current this afternoon, that press-
warrants had been issued.
