lIORSHAM, TUESDAY, MARCH 5.%) 4'.

John Pain was inditied for stealing 75 guineas
gold, the property of Arthur Matthews.
The prosecutor was a shoe-maker at Shipley, near
Horsham. The prisoner was a journeyman who
worked with him. The prosecutor, though but a
poor man, had amassed this little treasure, Whch
he kept in a bureau above stairs, in his bed-room.
It is supposed the prisoner had gained some know.
ledge where this treasure was concealed, for pre.
rending to be ill one day, he' went up stairs to lie
down on the bed ; when he came doWn, he said 114
wished to take a little walk is the air, and asked his
master if he could notTurnish him with some errand:
He sent him viith.a pair of bores to take home, but
not returning that night it excited some suspiciam',
and the prosecutor, upon searching, found all .his
treasure gone. It appeared, that_ the prisoner
walked to Horsham, and then took a post-chaise to
Crawley; he then gave the boy half-a-guinea for
driving him. He then, ordered supper, and three
bottles of '.wine; after that he treated all the persons
in the house,. and made a display of his gold. He
next day took a chaise towards Tenterden, where
he said he was going ; but he was overtaken at
Matesfield, where he was apprehended, but he had
spent all the money but 251.
In his defence, the prisoner said, that being em-
ployed to dig some celery in the garden, be found
the money sewed up in a flannel bag.

however, visible of the robber, and he was traced

The prosecutrix, a young girl, not then more
than fifteen, stated, that she and another servant s.
were on the common at NeWick with'their rnii-
tress's children, on the 13th of June, 1810, when
the, prisoner came up to 'them to\ inquire his way ;
they went across a field with htin, when he seized
the prosecutrix, and threw her down. .The girl,
however, could not proceed to state further Partied-
lays, for she fainted, and for two hours remained ~
itupified and insensible ; at length it was found im-
possible to proceed with her examination ; her
companion, how ever, stated sUfficient• to shew the
violent condu& of the prisoner towards, her. He.
was not taken into custody for some weeks after-
wards; but the women of the place one day caught
him, and they put him into a tub, and pumped
upon him ; they next tossed him in a blanket; and
/after they.were tired of that amusement, they threw
him into a horse-pond; they next rolled him in they
mud, and scrubbed him down with birch brooms.-
At length, the Parson and Churchwardens, hearing
of the case, insisted on a legal inquiry, and after a
length of time he was apprehended.
The Jury found him Guilty, and he was sen-
tenced to two years' imprisonment,
