The Pri,;bner hod his back and shoulders 'marked
with lint, furthcr confirmed him in his. opinion.
David More, the Pimple, corroborated this teSti-:
many, and furtherstated, that, the 'Coachman had
told him, after set-tni down his fare, that the goods
in the coach belonged to one Of the young men,
who were going tiii,htiard an .East Itidiarnatt fur India,
and who had der him to stop there on his way.
Holton made" Pt his aSd yo well, that Lifter suffi-
cient investigation, nothing appeared to attachto him.
He was therefore honourably discharged,' )without
being referred to the Jury. A ntimber 'of respetiable
witnesses bore teStiniony to the good 'taiarit&er of
Shival. The Jury, however, without' hesitation,
brought in a vertliCt-7-Guilly:

James Morris was indieted for being found at large
beti)re,the expiration of his term of transportation.
No person being present, however, Who could prove
his identity, he was diScharged. '
jam Chilton was also indicted for being at large

Lord' Nelson East Indiainan; since, ' and has. distin-
guished himself by his.gallantry and good condua
in several aCtions against the Enemy. His conduit
had been so highly' meritorious- on board the Lord

Elizabeth /Pitson was indi&ed for a capital offenCe,
that of stealing' windo w curtains, fringe, :and drapery,
Btc. the property of MessrS. Fleming and Co. of Fen-
church=strect, in their dwehing-house.
It appeared that the Prisoner was found running
away from the house, apprehended, and' the pro-
perty wrapped in her apron, and eould not gOe any
account how she came by such property ; and now
upon her trial, she saiil,Abe was-in liquor so nauch
that she did not knove'What she did..

The RECOSDER observed to the Jury, that this
was a capital offence, that of stealing in a dvveilin.--
house goods of upward.s of the value of 405.; and
although neither of the partners lived in the house,
'Yet their servant did, and that made it as much
their dwelling as if all the parties resided in it. As
to the amount of the property, he did nut think
himself justified in advising the Jury to reduce it
below the sum of 40s. and as that was the case, the
whole charge was made out against the Prisoner, if
they believed the evidence ' • if they had any doubt
of it, they would give her the benefit of that doubt.
She said she was so much in liquor, that she did, not
know what she was doing which was a eery silly
excuse, or rather no. eicuse at:alt.—Gaily; Deatit.
The' Prosecutor said; he-believed the Prisoner was
in liquor, and for that reason he wished to teem-,
mend her to mercy. He knew nothing of her,
The RECORDER said, be hileUid state. the recom-
mendation to the king' in Council, but he himself
had no discretion in the case, ,as it r was a capital
offence.
