(Before the REcoRDER.)

George Stuart alias George Hipler, was indicted for re.
turning from transportation.
Mr. ADOLPH US appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
BODKIN for the defence.
Mr. Stafford, the chief clerk of Bow-street, produced the
previous conviction of the prisoner for forgery, from which it
appeared the prisoner was sentenced to death, but afterwards
that sentence was commuted to transportation for life.
John Smart in 1817 was the keeper of the county gaol of
Horsham. In that year a person of the name of George
Stuart pleaded guilty of forgery, and was sentenced to tran-
sportation for life. Witness put the prisoner on board a vessel
for New South Wales. \Vas inclined to think the prisoner
was the man, but could not swear to it positively.
John Newman was in 1817 guard of the Nativity Hulk.
Recollected Smart putting on board a number of prisoners.
The man at the bar was one. Had a perfect recollection
of him.
By Mr. BODKIN—The prisoners were brought on board the
vessel at different times. Had stated that the man of the name
of Stuart, who was brought on board the vessel, had a wen
upon his right hand. Had not seen the prisoner at the bar
since 1817, before he was in custody upon this charge. In the
presence of Mr. Cope, said he should know the man by a wen
on his hand, and directly he put his head within the door-way,
witness said he was the man, and he could swear to him.
By Mr. ADOLPHUS—When he saw him a prisoner, he had
not a wen upon his hand, but witness had no doubt of his
identity.
By Mr. BODKIN—Had heard that there was a reward given
in cases of convictions of this kind, but did not know it as a
fact. Did not expect anything himself.
By Mr. ADOLPIIUS—Knew if there was 20,0001. reward he
should not have a shilling of it.
The prisoner, in his defence, denied that he was the indivi-
dual. The only person who had sworn to him was the guard
of the Nativity Hulk, a person who had not seen him for seven-
teen years, and who was actuated by the hope of the reward.
The prisoner commented upon the improbability of a person
recollecting an individual he had only seen once for so long a
period as seventeen years, and trusted that the jury would ac-
quit him.
The RECORDER summed up, and the Jury acquitted the pri-
soner.
William Smith, aged 18, was indicted for stealing the sum
of 41. 165., the property of Elizabeth Ward.
It appeared from the evidence that the prosecntrix was a ser-
vant in the house of Mrs. Sergeant, at Hackney, in whose
service the prisoner was employed as an errand boy. While
the prosecutor was at Church the prisoner took the opportu-
nity of committing the robbery.
Several witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent character.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty ; and
The COURT sentenced him to imprisonment and hard labour
in the House of Correction for one year.

MANSLAUGHTER.
Patrick Cadog an, aged 24, was indicted for the manslaugh-
ter of Timothy Brien, on the 17th of August.
Mr. Dillon, a surgeon, residing at Islington, stated, that on
Sunday, the 17th of August, he was called upon to see a per-
son named Brien, who had just died. Found a swelling under
the right ear, and several parts of the body terribly bruised.
There was nearly half a pail of blood over the brain. There
was also an effusion of blood ox er the jugular vein. Consi-
dered the death of the deceased was attributable to a blow.

Thomas Costello, a labourer, residing at Islington, knew
the deceased. Saw him coming down the court, where he
resided, in company with a person named Dunn. Brien seemed
unwilling to go. The prisoner came up and asked what he
had to say to him. The prisoner then struck him. The pri-
soner appeared sober when he did so.

John'tyhe saw the prisoner on the I.7th in George-yard in
which he resided. The prisoner lived with him. The de-
ceased's wife was at his house, the deceased quarrelled with
her and struck her, the prisoner rushed out and struck Brien
several times. In about a quarter of an hour after this heard
Brien was dead.

Jas. M' Vay saw the prisoner strike the deceased, whose wife
threw mud at him.

Mary Magnor also saw tiW ri-trilt!, the deceased
several times. The prisoner appeared to witness to be quite
sober.

Patrick Dunn was drinking with another man when he saw
the deceased and Brien. The prisoner said he knew seine of
the signs he had from the Union. Brien said he was a
liar. A challenge to fight ensued, but witness seeing Brien
was very tipsy would not let him do so, and took him home.
The prisoner struck Brien, who came out of the house and fol-
lowed him, swearing he would fight with him. Witness did all
that he could to persuade him to go home and go to bed, but
he would not do so. The deceased and witness then had a
scuffle.

The Surgeon was again called, who stated his belief that
death had been occasioned by the blow under the ear. The
state in which the deceased was accelerated the extravasation
of blood.

The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Court sen-
tenced him to imprisonment and hard labour in the House of
Correction for two years.
Henry Frampton, aged 30, described as a bookseller, was
indicted for stealing 64 prints and 300 books, the property of
Robert Baldwin, and Walter Gilchrist Whicker, described as
a merchant, was indicted for receiving the same, well knowing
the same to be stolen. This case appeared to excite the
greatest interest ; the Court was crowded with ladies, appa-
rently friends of the prisoner Whicker, who had been out on
bail, and surrendered to-day.
Mr. BODKIN, who appeared for the prosecution, stated the
case to the Jury.
Mr. ADOLPHUS appeared for Frampton, and Messrs. PHIL-
LIPS and CLARKSON were Counsel for Whicker.
James Christopher was a Thames-police surveyor. On the
sth of July, in consequence of information he had received
from Mr. Jackson, proceeded to the George Public-house, in
the Commercial-road, in company with another officer, and
apprehended Frampton, who asked him what he apprehended
him for. The witness said, " for stealing a quantity of books,
the property of Messrs. Cradock and Co". Frampton en-
quired whether it was for stealing any particular quantity
or generally. The witness did not inform him. On going to
the station-house, Frampton said it was trouble that brought
him to all this. On going to the station-house, Mi.. Jackson,
who was there, said, " I am sorry to see you in this situation,
Frampton : it is a duty you owe to Messrs. Baldwin, society,
and the young men in the house, to tell all you know."
Frampton said he did not wish to disguise anything. Mr.
Jackson was the manager of Messrs. Baldwin's business.
Frampton was asked to tell where the things were, as it would
save the officers trouble if he did. Frampton said he would.
Jackson then asked where the Hogarth's prints were. He
said they were in a case, No. 6, on the wharf, which was not
yet shipped. From information which he received, went to
Whickers, at Stebbon-terrace, near the London Dock.
This was two hours and a half, or three hours, after he
I had apprehended the prisoner Frampton. When he went
to Whickers, he found the same young man there who was
with Frampton when he approached him. Said to Whickers
he had a box of Frampton's, and he supposed he had heard
that he had been apprehended. Whickers said yes. Witness
opened a box which was in Whickers's possession. Whickers
said he had some books on board the Britomart, observing,
that he had known Frampton from his childhood. Knew
that he was in a bookseller's shop, and that he could get
books cheaper from being in the trade; and had several times
given him money to buy books. He also said he was going
out to Sidney, and intended to take out Frampton as his
clerk. He said he had two cases in the hold of the Brito-
mart. Witness asked him if he had not another case on the
wharf, to which he said, " 0 yes, there is." Witness
said that he wanted to see the contents of it.
Whicker said very well, and went with him. Told the officers
of the wharf he wanted to examine a case of books, and the
dock officer sent a person with him to open it. On its being
opened witness found a quantity of Hogarth's prints and some
maps. On the next day went there again, and took away the
cases and their contents, which were taken to the Thames
Police-office.

This witness was under examination when our reporter left,
and the trial appeared likely to occupy the Court to a late
hour, there being a whole host of witnesses for examination.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERJEANT.)
Thomas Hatch was indicted for stealing a six-keyed bugle,
the property of John Lowder.
The prosecutor deposed that the bugle was hanging at his
shop-door marked for sale. Missed it on the 14th June. The
bugle now produced is the one he lost. The bugle was
marked IL lls. 6d.
James Willis, a street musician, deposed that the prisoner
came to him while playing in Spitalfields-market and offered
a bugle for sale. He bought it for I4s. He pawned another
bugle for the purpose of raising the money to purchase it.
The prisoner in his defence said he was a cloth-cap maker,
and that he had purchased the bugle from a man with some
old cloth. When he heard that Hatfield, the officer, wris
looking for him, he went to Hatfield and said he heard he had
been looking for him about a bugle, and told him his name,
and where he lived.

The Learned SERJEANT said, in justice to the prisoner, it
was but right to tell the Jury that the depositions of the officer

Hatfield (who was unable to attend) corroborated the IP
ment of the prisoner.—Not Guilty.
