OLD BAILEY:",

THIMSDAY, OCT.' 29.
Richard Pullen was charged with stealing five
bottles of brandy,- of the value of 71. from the
premises of his employer, Mr: Morris, a Liquor-.
merchant. The chiefevidence against the 'pri-
- saner has that of two of his accomplices, James,
Grove, also a servant of Mr. Morris, and John
Cotton; a painter and glazier, who, on some (wca-
tim,,z,, had purchased liquors of the prisoner at less
than their value. From theirtestinlony,• and
that of Gilmer Police Officer, it appeared that the
prisoner, being ceilerman to the proseentor, had,
duringthe nine months preceding his apprehension,
been regularly in the habit of robbing his master
of those articles he dealt in,- and selling it to
Cotton, thebrandy at 14s. per gallon, the rum at
.3 Os. and the, Port wine at 2s. per bottle, and
Groves received part of the money that-he might
observe secrecy. At length, however, suspicion
fell upon the prisoner, and. be was apprehended at
a public-house near St. Martin's Church, in the
company of Cotton, and-part of the prosecutor's
property was found in a vault, to Which be bad
,access. On Grove'S apprehension, LC confessed
all the 'transactions in Which he had been con-
cerned with Pullen ; and On Cotton's. premises
,being searched, some spirits were .fdund, but no
part of it being in Mr. Morrk's bottles, it could
not be identified.
The Learned Judge (Baron TuomrsoN), before
he summed. up the evidence, observed to the Jury,
that all evidence given by accomplices must be
heard with the greatest caution, and not in any
instance relied on, unless it be corroborated by
collateral circumstances, incontestibly proved by
the testimony" of other Witnesses of maimpeached
- Veracity. The Jury consulted a few minutes, and
returned a verdict of—Guilty.
.James Kenyon and George Green were capitally
indicted for violently assaulting W. Amos, on the
King's highways putting him in bodily fear, and
stealing from his person six 11. Bank of England
notes. From the testimony of Amos, it appeared,
that on the 10th instant she xvns- passing along
Oxford .street, near the end of Swallow-Street,
when he was accosted by the 'prisoner, Kenyon,
who said, "D—n you,, you informer, are you
still alive %" Green also came up, shook his fist
in his face, ail. challenged him to fight. Witness
, told him he did not get his living by lighting, but
by hard work, and therefore should not fight ;
although he 'thought himself as good a man
as either of- them. Green then- went alit-
, tle backwards, but again returned, when he
knocked the prosecutor down three times, which
the latter to'crawl on his bands and knees
to the Dorset Coffee-house door, from which,
however, he was pulled by thebaud of his breeches,
and immediately his, money had gone. On his
cross-examination, he denied haVing 'any know-
ledge of the prisoners, or ever saving that
they were commons sharpers at cards, or cheating
a man of two guineas. Other witnesses corrobo-
rated the testimony of Amos, with the addition of
the priSoners having been pursued, and when Ken-
von was iaken, he offered to give up the prose-
cutor's notes, and treat those Who took him to
let him go, but both prisoners were given in cus-
-64:
The Jury convicted Kenyon, but acquitted
Green.

A prisoner of. the name of Williams was then
put to the bar on a. charge of robbing a gentle-
man of his watch, chain and seals ; but he ear-
nestly solicited the Court to postpone.his trial, as
he had a brief for Counsel prepared, but his fel-
low prisoner had robbed him of the fee he intend-
ed. to give with it. Tile trial was ordered to stand
over.

PUGILISM ~—.Yeste.rday a pitched battle was
fought between George kblks and Little Andrew,
two journeytneta bakers, in Copenhagen-fields;
George Brown seconded Folks, and Paddington
Jones Little .Andrew. The watch was for five
pounds. After fighting eighty rounds: in one hour
and'a half, Little Andrew beat his man.

Nuisance.—This was, an appeal from .the late
clecon:of the Magistrates of .Bow7street, upon
an information tiled on the relation of Mr. Kin-,
nard, against Mr. Soane,-an eminent Architect, of
• No.
.13, North side"of Lincoln's Inn-fidds, in the
county of Middiesex, for a nuisance in "extending
the front of his dweiling-house with ornamental
pillars, portico, and statues or images, On the late,
repairing and ornamenting of- the same; beyond
the other fronts of that side of the square,, by a
space. of three feet six indhes. The Magistrees
below acquitted the del'eudot under tie ..I;tiiid-
ing Act, th'l4th of the King, .on the ground
that the area and font, asiar as the outer railing,.
were part of- t!-.c defendant's freefnold, and the
projection within the exceptions of the Act.
POOLEY and Mr. ALLEY argued at great
length, and with much form in support of the
appeal, contending that the *Magistrates at Qttar
ter Sessions (of which about forty attended on this
interesting question) had an appellant jurisdiction
in 'the way of a Court of !Error in this case, as.
otherwise the Act of, Parliament would be only
a dead letter, and. of no efficacy or utility what-
ever.

Mr. GURNEY, against the appeal, argued very
ably, that. the Magistrates had no power to re-
voke the judgatent already given in favour of -Mr.
Soane.

Mr. MAINWARENG (without bearing Mr. Mita-
therall on the same side) observed, that the ques-
tion was arduous and difficult, as well as of great
public importance, which induced hint and his
many associates to recenimend the relater to apply
for a Writ of Mandamus from the Court of King's
Bench, to command them to heir the Appeal,
which woutd produce light and assistance frGni he
Judges of that Court, for the better information
of the Magistrates in Sessions ; with this view
the Appeal was refused pro forma, for want,ofju-
risdiction.

CURIOTJS CIRCUMSTANca.---ThC Robin Good-
fellzT i,a West ludiaman, belonging to -the port of
LiYerpool, struck, on her homeward voyage from
Barbadoev.sothe time since, on her passage th rough
the Bahamas. - The consequence was a leak,
which increased to a dangerous extent after they
had passed Bermudas. The Captain ordered
.a
tarpaulin with.oakum to be drawn under her 'bot-
tom, an experiment which has frequently bad the.
'effect-of stopping a leak. Unfortunately. the 'at-
tempt failed, and notwithstanding, all the enclea-;
yours of the. Crew, it was with the greatest diffi-
culty they could keep ter aflolt by the pumps.—
On their arrival: on the Great 11.4.: of Newfound-
land the crew were surprised by finding the ship
•made no water. The leak had stopped, but 'how
none could conceive until the ship was docked ;
it then appeared that a blanket, which one of the
sailors had- hung over the bows to wash, had been
drawn into the.. aperture, and -thereby effectually
stopped the leak. The sailor to whom the
blanket belonged had concluded that it. had broke
adrift. It has-since been preserved as a valuable
relict. , .
