Sarah Dickson was,indietel for the wilful murder.
.of her female bastard'ehild, on the sth 'of June.
William. Clerk, a watchman in Vintry, Ward,
stated, that:he perceived a bundle lying on the ledge.
of oneof the windows at the Union Warehewes, in
Wading-street, as he was going his ronnds at eleven •
o'clock at night, on the 7th Of June. He took the
brindle, and conveyed it to the •watch-htaise, . Where
it was opened,. and its contents proved to' be the
child in question. The child appeared .to him.full
grown, and he could perceive no marks of vioJence
Mrs. Elizabeth Pettit, who resides in • Watling--
street, stated, that the Prisoner was hired' into her
service some time prior to the circumstance, com-
plained of. The Lady from whom Witness had re-
ceived the Prisoner's chargter, 'stated, that she was
pregnant but the Prisoner denied the imputation,'
and removed all doubts by expressing a wiflingness
to accede to the examination of a medical plan. Wit,.
ness, :however, perceived the Prisoner to increase in
bulk before the expiration of two months, and she
had not the smallest' doubt but she was near her
time ; and she indirectly acknowledged her situation,
stating, that a waiter.at the Castle, at Highgate, was
the father.' She went to bed very ill .on the 4th and:
sth of June, and on her. coming. doWn .stairs in the,
morning, she complained bitterly of the pains shehad
endured. Site farther. stated, that. her bulk ,was so
much decreased, that she could slip through her
stays. Mrs. P.. Was convinced.that she had delivered
herself. A servant in Mrs. P.'s employ proved., that
the Prisoner. went up stairs on. Friday, at eleven
o'clock, and afterwards left the house for ten minutes.
He did not see her go out. Mr. We-stern, a Stir-geon, who examined, the Prisoner, by order of her
• Mistress, proved that she had delivered herself.
To all appearande, he. concluded, that the child had
been born alive,, although he could not swear to the
fad.
- •

The Judge, in summing up, observed to the Jury,
that before they could convi&: the Prisoner, they
must be satisfied the child was born alive. After re-
tiring some time, the Jury gave a. verdict of acquit-
tal.---She was detained tor concealing the birth:

Elizabeth Taylor, a girl of only 14 years of acre,
was capitally indiaed for privately stealing, from t3ha
person of Mrs. Monk, a one-pound note, half-alui-
nea, and two seven-shilling pieces.. The Prosecu-
trix was going. along Bishopsgate-street, when she
was accosted by the Prisoner, who informed her that
her petticoats were coming down, and if the please I
she would pin them up for her. The: Prosecutrix
thanked her.fdr her pretended civility, but in pin-
ping up the petticoats, the Prisoner's' hand found its
way into-the Prosecutrix's pocket, who ,immediately
Missed her pocket-book.--The Prisoner,
.was found
Guilty of stealing only.—dt appeared that although
young, in years, she was old in iniquity, and the
'Reconnect told her she would, not belong in this
Country., . .

John Hickley was indieted for burglariously and
sacrilegiously breaking' and entering The Parish
Church ofWillscien, and stealing therefrom one, bi-
ble, and two prayer-books, 'on the 26th of May.—
The charge of burglary was nut proved, and the
Jury found the Prisoner guilty of stealing.
He was tndieted on a similar charge, in the Pa •
jilt Church of Kinsbury, and he was also found
guilty of stealing.

Saturday afternoon twenty-five female convicts
were removed in two waggons from Newgate to be
put on board the William. Pitt, bound p Botany Bay.
£heir behaviour was highly indecorous ; they. tore
the tilt, off the waggon kindly intended to conceal
thoir shame,' and rent the air with the most scandal-
ous expressions. - •
A Defendant in. a cause to be determined at one

of the ensuing Assizes requested his Attorney to en-
gage, a Gentleman GO the Circuit of whom he had
formed a very high opinion ; the Attorney acquaint-
ed his Client, that the. Plaintiff had already engaged
the same Counsellor. "So much the better,". re=
plied the Defendant, " when he has spoken for him,
lie can step on the other side of the table' and speak
for me ; besifles he must be better acquainted with
the business than an entire stranger."
The , long-agitated cause, in the Irish Court of
Chancery, between Mr. IsAise BERNAL, the Ja-
maica Merchant, and the Marquis of DONEGAL and
Mr. MAY, came on, upon two cross motions, be-
fore Lord REDE6E/ALE, on the 1 ith instant. The
case was argued about 4 hgurs, and his Lordship al-
lowed the 'Marquis and Mr.,MAY one week to con-
sider whether they would settle with Mr. BERNAL,
as otherwise he should appoint a- receiver over the
Donegal estate inslanter. The appearance oldie Nene-
rabic, and philanthropic Plaintiff excited the interest
of -every person in Court, and much satisfilktion was
expressed that he was at length likely to triumph.
A few days ago one of the Privates of the Hull
Volunteeni fell from the highest part of the Cliff, at
Scarborough, upon the sand, where he lay four hours
before he was discovered. Except being stunned by
the Fall, 'he received no other injury. About the
same time a Private in the Southampton Militia fell
from the Cliff, upon the rocks-below ; and, wonder-
ful to relate, has not broken- a bone; he is dreadfully
bruised, but in a' fair way of recovery.
A few days ago, as one. of the Cornish Miners,
employed on tlse works at Fort Pitt, on Chatham
Hills, wa, passing with a barrow along a plank across
one of the trenches, his foot slipped, and he fell to
the depth of lifiern feet ; although not apparently
hurt, he has, however, received so severe a shuck,
that he is not expeCted to recover. .
On Wednesday last,as a painter was at work at
Norwich, the ladder on which he stood suddenly
snapped in two t and though precipitated from a
height of thirty feet, he only- received a few braies
in his side.
