OLD DAtILEY.-JAN. tC,

Jean Baptiste Louis Barrieullet, the Swiss Valet
Lord Caledon, was tried on a charge of stealin4
several damask table cloths, and other articles, tho
property of his master.
The manner in which the Prisoner had figured ita
the gay world, thing the gentleman, during his
master's absence, was not here related, though it
has come betbre the Public from another place.
The Earl of Caledon stated to the Court and Jury,
that he had received a most particularly good cha-
raCter of the prisoner from Lord Atcheson; with'
whom he had formerly lived as servant; he under-.
stood that the prisoner had also been in the servica
of the Earl of Seftpn and other Noblemen. About
the 27th of Septerilber he received an intimation from,
the Admiralty to prepare himself with all possible
dispatch for setting out to the Cape of Gqod Hop.,
according to his,appointtnent. He found it neces-
sary, previous to his setting out for a, distant place,
where be might be likely to remain some consi-
derable length of time, to go out to Ireland, for tha
purpose of adjusting some private affairs. lle
took all his men servants but hiS valet and coachman
with him. The trust which, if all his servants had
remained behind, would have been reposed in his
steward, as the case then stood, devolved upon the
prisoner. What happened in his absence would bf
related by the other wnliesses,
