LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 20.

THE inhabitants of 'Water-street were at one
time greatly alarmed, as the late-fire seemed to be
spreading in that direaion ; but the thick party
wall of Mr. Dawson's warehouse, and the strong
walls of the Commercial Buildings, happily arrest-
ed its progress.

Seventeen warehouses have been consumed:
A meeting of the principal sufferers was convened
on Thursday morning, when a. Coinmittee was ap-
pointed to superintend the removal of the rubbish
with all possible expedition, in order to recover
the property, which it is supposed is now buried in
the ruins in very considerable quantities. A great
number of men have already been set to work, but
considerable difficulty is experienced in taking down
such of the walls as are yet left standing.

We are sorry to add to the above account, that
in taking down' a part of the -ruins on Saturday
morning, Mi. PHILLIPS, in the employ of Mr.
FOSTER, was so dreadfully Crushcd, that be died in
feiv hours after. _

concluded a rubber, pin his fingers as. if in the
ati of -muffing one of the candles, and thert laying
them On edge of the table, the cotAnters,- as if
by magic, ran into his hands. The news' of this
wonderful event spread like wildfire, and the Ball
Room was presently emptied to behold
,this modern ,
Magician—who, by way of climax,, borrowed 'a left
hand glove of a Lady, and putting it upon the table,'
retreated some distance, and ordered wedding finger
to ered itself, which proved obedient to its potent
master, and the glove itself moved into his hand.—
The Prince then turning to some pretty women, said,
that if they would allow him only to put a grain of
his infallible powder on their shoulders, they would
be forced to follow him wherever he went. The
Ladies replied only with a shriek, and danced out 'cif
the room to a much' quicker step than they even,
entered.

There is at present a sum of no less than eight
millions lying at the Bank belonging to the Trea.
sury, the greater part of which will come into cir-
culation very shortly, by the payment of Dividends
and Exchequer Bills.

The suspension in the admission of more Ship-
ping into the West India Docks for the present, is
stated to arise from Warehouses enough not being
•finished to receive more produce, and not to any
defer` in the foundation, as asserted in some of the
Papers of yesterday.

Lieut. General JOHNSON, who has so long corn.
manded in the Waterford Distrid, has resigned his
command in consequence of the Peace, with the
gratitude and esteem of all Loyal Subjeds, for his
many excellent and amiable public and private
virtues.

It is reported that the ci-devant Grand DUKE of
TUSCANY will go to Paris in person, to endeavour
to interest the FIRST CONSUL in his behalf.

.iGeneral LASNES will probably have an opportunity
or repenting at leisure of his rash and improper
cbridtid in quitting Lisbon as he did. He is under
exile at his country house, and has little chance of
recovering the Consular. Favour.
• A strong contest ,has taken place at Plymouth for
the EleCtion of a Mayor for the year ensuing. The
four Alfurers eleded for that purpose having chosen
a Jury of 36 from the Commonalty at large, whose
fundion it is to eled the Mayor, the Jury sat frOm
four o'clock in the afternoon of Friday last. till
twelve at night, when the Foreman reported, that
the numbers were t 8 for Mr. LANGMEAD, and 18 for
Dr. REMMETT. The next day (Sat urday) the Jury sat
again from ten in the morning till half past twelve
at night, when the Foreman again returned the
same . numbers. The Mayor then adjourned the
Court, and . the business rests till Michaelmas
• Term, when a Mandamus Is to he moved for in the
Court of King's Bench to compel the Commonalty
at large to elect a Mayor.

The expelled duty on Hops is daily lessening in
estimation. It is now supposed it will not exceed
13,n001.

We are sorry to learn.that the weather in Scot-
land has been fur some weeks extremely wet, cold,
and unfavourable to the ripening the Corn. It has,
however, improved within these few days, and we
hope may at last be such as.-may enable the Farmers
ta get their crop decently in.

A shock of an earthquake was felt at Strasburg
on the s Ith inst. at 36 minutes past six in the
morning, and another more violent about an hour
afterwards. The direlion of both was from north
to south. Many persons who were in the streets
were thrown down. The houses were as if struck
by an 'immense weight, which had shaken them
to their foundations. There had prevailed, during
the preceding night, a 'violent wind, which arose
on a sudden, and seemed to have some conneditin
with the earthquake. The_ wind did not cease
after the shock, but veered about to the south,
whet, some rain fell. The weather at Strasburg
had been intensely hot for Afty.four days preced-
ing the shock.

THE THEATRE.

Covent-Gard'

THE First Part of Henry the Fourth was repre.
sented last night at this Theatre. COOKE per-
formed Fidstaf with vigour and humour. He ap-
peared to most advantage in the scene of the mock
Play, in which he displayed a ludicrous pathos in
favour of poor Jack Falstaff that had a powerful ef.
felt on the Audience. COOKE is the best Fa/stair
now on the Stage, though he certainly does not-.
give the part all the variety of which it admits, and
of which his polders are capable.
LEWIS having resigned the part of 'the Prince of
Wales, in which he was, as usual, very easy and
spirited, it was last night allotted to BRui:To.s..---•
Following so popular an Alor, BRUNTON, of course,
had difficulties to encounter. He certainly took
pains to please, and his efforts were tolerably suc.
cessful ; but he wanted the strong-marked humour
and happy mixture of dignity and condescension
which the part demands.
Mr. H. SIDDONS was the Hotspur. His con.
,eeption of the charader was creditable to his under-
standing. It is, however, a diameter that requires
a greater portion of organic strength than he is able
to supply. He is therefore obliged to resort to
solemn under-tones, when he should be agitated by
" the whirlwipd of the passion."

'There was a numerous and somewhat of 'a noisy
Audience.

Mrs. ATK INs does not, we understand, resume her
situation in Covent-Garden Theatre this season.

in that city. Amongst others, one has been remarked
beginning thus ; AEMIL lAS. Ic. These letters are
remarkably well cut, and have been viewed with ascot)"

scriptions prove the antiquity of Cularo or Cuia#

FiPTY.EIGHTH RE G Mohday
night, the Officers of the sSth Regiment, quartereao
the New Barracks, Waterford, gave an elegant cad:.
tainment to a numerous and respedable circle ol
frieeds. The
.13. th of September has for many yea"
been celebrated by the Officers of this Regiment as
the anniversary of three remarkable and fortuitol
events, which at different periods have charaeteriic`"
that day. In /759 the 58th formed part of ill
land and sea forces, which under Gen. Wot,ee an
Sir CE A. SAUNDERS were destined to effeft die con'
quest of Quebec and Canada. In the decisive bat'
tie fought upon the:Heights 'of Abraham, on the
r3th of September, in that year, this Regimet),,
was engaged upon the left, and shared with FxnsEg
Highlanders in the glory of forcing the right wiq
of the. Enemy to commence the retreat, which i;
to a general 'defeat. In this Aftion it lost at'all
too men, killed and wounded.- Its Lieutenants
colonel, Sir Witt. HOWE,, was considered by `t
Army as the right hand of the. brave. Commander 't)
Chief. On the 13th of, September, t 762, the 1331'

meet the 58th had .a distinguished share. In 17/it
this Regiment was ordered to Gibraltar, where ?,

parture of La Brune from the Cape at Saint Da.
ming°, on the Ist of August, the two Frigates sent
to the Isle of Tortue bad arrived there. The'
Negroes have been reduced, the most mutinous
punished, and tranquillity re-established. Some
habitations have been burnt, and about a dozen
of Whites, women and children, have fallen vic-
tims to the InsurreCtion.

The Frigate La Valeureuse, returned to Brest
from St. Domingo, announces the approaching re-
turn of the three Ships Le Pesaiole, Tourville, and

BASIL, SF PT. rz.—All the Eastern part of the
HelVetic Republic, with the exception of Turgovia,
and a part of thz Grisons, is in a state of open Re..
beiliou against the Constitutional Authorities.—
%mail -Cantons, those_ of, Glarus, •
Appenzel, Rbeinthal, Zug, and Baden, have ,de-
elarsed themselves •to be in a state of Insurreetion.—
In Zug-,,- the presence even of a Battalion of In-
fantry could not prevent the Insurredion from
breaking ant. -.The other Cantons abound with
Emissaries from the small Cantons, who hold out
Promises of the abolition of all Taxes, of the- re-

establishMent of the Lansgenzeiude, and sometimes
of the- plunder of all persons of property.—
These peifidious suggestions have had this singular
ofaa, that the Partizans both of aigarchy and
of Dernocrzcy unite together to destroy that
Constitution which was a few months ago adopt-
ed by a large majority. . If they succeed in
their designs (which May fortunately be pre_
vented by the interposition of Francc), there will
be a Civil War between those parties who have
now formed a temporary union for the purpose of
destroying, the. Government.

The Helvetic Troops have put down the Insur-
relion in some of the Western Cantons, but their
number is too small to enable them to at with

STUTTGART), SET'T. z.—The Assembly of the
Deputies of the Imperial Cities of Suabia, which

Coming to any resolution. Six of the Cities,
amongst whom Augsburg is one, took no part in the
deliberations.

not known. • "

A report has prevailed for some days at Munich,
that the Austrians were dposed to evacuate Passau,
L
utloit., has been contradiaed by late events. We
lea4llo-,on the contrary, that there is an intention of
furring a second Camp at i'Vels, on the Frontier of
xtgh Austria. M. de BtroL, the Austrian Envoy
at Munich proposed that the ELEcToa should.eva-
cuate all the Countries which he had occupied, on
which condition, it was added, the EMPEROR Would
withdraw his Troops from Salztiurg, Passau, Lerch.
Wsgaien, &c. but this proposition was nct agreed
to at Munich. •

The Bavarian Troops hare delayed until now,
the taking possession of the different Imperial Ci-
-tie; of Suabia allotted to the ELECTOR. The. oe.t
cupation of those Cities has at length taken place-
within these few days. On the Bth, a detach-
Inent entered Noerdlingen, and "another 13 Opfi 11

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM PARIS, SEPT. tB.
" As every thing in this Country is conrcrred
into a Fete for the amusement of the People, the five
last days of the Republican Year (les fours Compli,
mentaires), are set apart for what is termed the -'
Fete Complementaire. The Square of the Viett-r
Louvre is fitted up for the reception of Specimens
of all the Articles, both of the Natural and Artifi-.
cial Produce of the Republic. These are exposed
to public view, and the People flock in great, num-
bers to examine the new produetions of the Coun-
try, or the improvements which have taken place
in any of the Manufalures. This Fete commenced
yesterday—it lasts, till the Ist Vendemiaire, the
beginning of the French Year.—Repert says, that
the exposition of the present year far surpasses
that of the last, and shews that great improvements
,have been made. There seems in filet, to exist a
very general disposition to increase and improve
the Natural PrAudions of France, and Agricul-
ture particularly is the universal pursuit—but Corn-
inercd does not seem to revive. Those who are
apprehensive that the French will rival us in our
Trade and Manufaaures, may lay aside all their
fears, until they find the habits and dispositions
of the People totally changed from what they, are
at present.

There scarcely exists here what can be called
Society ; but there are in lieu of it, a multiplicity
of objeas of Amasement. There are for the even.
ing, Theatres of all descriptions, Vauxhalls, &c.
&c. ; and for the morning, the Public Gardens of
the Thuilleries, and of the Luxembourg, both of
which have been very much embellished. The
jardius des Plantes, together with the Galleries
of Pi&ures and Statues, are also, on stated days.
every week, open to the Public. In addition to
these, Feltes and Illuminations are very, frequent.
Nobody can say, that the Government does not
take pains to divert the Parisians. There are those
Who attribute this as much to Policy, as to an at-
ten dung() the People.
" The Hospitals (particularly- the Military), are
worth notice. The Hotel Dieu, is very much in
the same state as formerly, and MERCIER'S de.
scription of it is revived at
.every step you take.
The Chapel which belonged to this Institution, was
destroyed by the fury of the Populace in the de.
.struetive period of the Revolution, and has not
been repaired. But the Military Hospitals, afford
an example well worthy of imitation. Every sick
Man is daily visited by a Physician,' accompanied
by an Officer of Rank. The most liberal provision
is made for the Sick, and no care or attention is
spared to restore them to health. There is not a
Soldier who quits these Hospitals, who has not a
story to tell of. his treatment, which must awaken
tlic gratztuLii. .1 „r
inanity and Policy go hand in hand in these atten.
rions to those who have risqued their Lives in the
Service of. their Country.
" The attractions of this City hare drawn here
Foreigners of all descriptions, but particularly the
English, of whom -there are a greater number than
at any period previous •to the Revolution. The
Masters of the Hotels Garnis, &c. seem to take ad-
-vantage Of this circumstance, as if they thought
their Harvest would not last long-, and their
charges are very exorbitant. Among my country_
men here, are most of the Members of the Old Op_
position—Mr. Fox, . Mr. HARE, General F/TZ-
PATRICK, Mr. ADAIR, Mr. ERSKINF, Mr. Sr.
JOHN, Mr. TUFTON, &c. are here—and Lord HoL_
LAND, Lord R. SPENCER. Mr. FRANCIS, Mr. H.
COMBE, Mr. BROGDEN, &c. have lately left this
place. Lord OXFORD and Mr. ARTHUR O'CON,
NOR are said to have arrived here together, .about
a week ago !

" Mr. Fox continues to he treated with the most'
marked distindion, both by the CHIEF CONSUL, and
by Monsieur TALL E R AND. Whether the assem-
blage here of so many Persons of the same Party is
matter of accident, or whether they have any objea
in view, is the subjed of much conversation among
th,!. Parisians. They do not scruple to say, that •
Mr. Fox will, probably, be Minister before it is
long ; and in saying thin, they refer to an event
which every good Englishman must most heartily/
wish may be very far distant indeed. The Presen-
tations of the English, at the next Public Day at
the Thuilleries (i5lll Vendemiaire,) it is said, will
he very numerous.; Among the rest Lord OXFORD,
Lord F. I'iIONTAGUE, and Mr. ERSXINE, are Men-
rioned—and it is also reported, but probably. with.
out truth, that Mrs. Fox is to be presented to
Madame BONAP ARTE .—Lord WHITWORTH Will
certainly have enough upon his hands, and- will
probably have many difficult cases to determine.
The First Consul is said to wish that the Presen-
fations should be very numerous. The effest of
curiosity may sometimes be mistaken for -a proof of
.resped.
" General ANDR EOSSI sets out immediately on
his Embassy to England. He is a Man of Science,
:very eminent as- an Engineer, and has written ably
upon that subjecl. • He is a person of excellent cha-
rader, and though he does not possess thaSe polish-
' ed manners which have been often found in persons
in the Diplomatic Line, he has Many good qualities
which will make him •resped,ed in England. 7, 4

The English Newspapers continue to be st riaVa
'prohibited. This, like every thing else thatTaasesi
in France, is the subjel only of a joke among the-
Parisians ; for all serious conversation upon
cal SubjeEts, seems to be at an end. One of the
most enlightened Frenchmen I have met with, how.
ever, told me, that he thought the suppression of
them more injurious to the FIRST cON,UL than all
_ the calumnies and all the observations on the Go_
vernment which they could hive circulated could
possibly have been. But because he is, ofraidei

• A few lays ago, as Mr. Samuel Al!sop wont to
Mr. Ford►am's house, the Turk's Fizad, in All_
gate Matcet, to call for refreshment, be dropt
down dear, without a sigh, and though every pos-
sible assistance Was procured, it was without Suc-
cess. He had upwards -of 601. about him, which
was delivered to his friends.

The following are the particulars of an extraor-
dinary highway robbery which waes committed on
Friday last, at noon, within a mile and a half of Led-
bury.—Mr. Henry Holden, of Birmingham, having
arrived at Newent, on his journey, on Thursday
evening, was soon after coming into the Red Lion
Inn, joined by a genteel looking man, with whom he
afierwards supped in the traveller's rorm. In the
morning they breakfasted together ; after which,
Mr. Holden, in answer to a question from the
stranger, said he was going -to .Ledbury, and,
ordering his bill, pulled out his pocket-book to
look for a small note to get changed ; in doing
which he exposed several Bank-notes of different
sums. His companion, saying he was going
the satne way, proposed that they should ride
together, and for this purpose desired that his
horse might be-brought out. Having proceeded a
considerable '‘'ay- on the road, during which they
conversed faMiliarly on a variety of topics, the
stranger suddenly pulled out a pistol, rode up
to Mr. Holden, and presented it to him, demand-
ing his pocket-book and purse, or else he would
instantly blow his brains out. Upon Mr. H. hesitat-
ing a little, he clapped the pistol closer, and reput-
ed his demand, saying " He had uo time to lose."
The book and purse were then delivered ; and upon
Mr. H. requesting him to return something for tra-
velling expenses, the robber gave him a guinea, ob-
serving, that he wished to behave honourably. He
then gallopped off in the direaion of Newent ; and,
from some traces which have since been discovered,
there is great reason to believe that he arrived in
Bristol the same evening. We are happy to add,
that Mr. Holden's pocket-book has'been recovered,
and is now in that Gentleman's possession. It was
found by a labourer near the spot where the robbery
was committed ; and from the circumstance of its
..;11 ~,nrainincr a number of Bank-notes of fons:-
derable value, which were easily negotiable, it may
reasonably be inferred, that it was inadvertently
dropped by the robber, in his hurry to escape, and
not missed in sufficient time to induce his return in
seatch of it.

A report of a battle between Btkher, the cele.
brated pugilist, and a Brewer's drayman, attrated,
,on Monday evening, to the fields opposite the Edge_
ware Road, a considerable number of amateurs of
every description. The ring being formed, and all
the ceremonies usual on such occasions adjusted, no.
thing was wanting hut the arrival-of the champions,
tvh►ich the mobility awaited with the most eager
impatience. Their anxiety was for a few minutes
diverted by a fire balloon ; but that a: lengtliburst-.
ing,
.and there being no appearance of Belcher and
his opponent, two condescending Dustmen stepped
forward, and, in order that the speators might
not he disappointed, belaboured each other for up-
wards of ten minutes with the most persevering fe-
rocity.

Yesterday- morning early a pitched battle was
fought in the hollow_ al Islington, between two
hackney coachmen, of the names of Holliway and
Kilby, for the small wager of half-a-crown. The
contest, _after lasting one hour and ten. minutes,
terminated in favour of the former. They were
both so much bruised' as to be taken away by their
•
friends in coaches to their respe6tive homes.'

Having shut the door upon him, he knocked again
very 1o:idly, and then went dawn stairs the
front area, and knocked at that door also. The
Witness opened it : the Prisoner repeated the same,
story of his charader Ravi ig been injored, and
,hen called the Prosecutor an offender efa descrio-
lion which sheuld be moneless ; upon which he
went fe,r a Corstable, and carne back, bat having
learnt that the Prisoner had gone to a Pubic-house
in the neighbourhood, Ire went there,. apprehended
the Prisoner, and took pronto the Warch-lietle, arnd
from thence before a Magistrate, who discharged
the Prisoner. After the Prosecutor got horn.', the
Prisoner came again and knocked.at the door of the
area, and repeated his abusive story ; upon width
he was again taken before the. Magistrate, who dis-
charged. him' again.- 'As the Prosecutor
,was coming
home from the Magistrate, the Prisoner said to
him, "he would expose him, and pull down his
Lady's house to get at him." Hitherto no money
had been demanded by the Prisoner of the Prose-
cutor ; but now the Prisoner told the Prosecutor—
" that if he would give him an handsotne sum of
money, he would not trouble him again." The
Prosecutor asked, " what he meant .by an hand.-
some sum?" He said, •" fOur guineas ;" which,
after some hesitation, the Prosecutor agreed to
give, being- afraid of his reptation, and of losing
his place. He accordingly went home for it. He
took with him a 51. J3ank note and a 11. Bank note,.
and went to a Baker's shop to get the 51. note
changed, .which he did, into ,other. notes, a guinea,
and'the rest in silver. He then went to the Psi-
soner, who was waiting for him in the street :—he
gave the Prisoner three ii. notes 'and. a .guinea,
being 41. and ts. The Prosecutor then posidvely
swore, that he gave the Prisoner this money in con.
sequence of the alarm he was under for the loss of
his charaaer and. place. 'Having told the carcum-
stances of this case to his Lidy's Brother, he ad.
vised the Prosecutor to take out a Warrant and aop_
prebend the Prisoner, which he did, and found him
in St. Paul's Church-yard, apprehended him, and
carried him befbre a Magistrate, made this charge
against him, and he was committed.
On his cross-examinatiOne. the Prosecutor said
that the Prisoner had-- before been known to. him,
but that he had never injured hire in his life ; and
that the-imputation cast upon him by the Prisoner
was absolutely false. -
The words..made•use of by the Prisoner, charge.
ing the Prosecutor with a detestable and namelese,
offence, were proved by a•FootMan to have been
uttered by the Prisoner.
When the Prosecutor met the Prisoner in Sr.
Paul's Church-yard, he said to hirn, "Bonham, you
owe me three sh:lliogs." " Yes," said the ['ruse_
cuter, " I do, and something more ;" and, then
apprehended him.
The .Learned Judge told the jury, that if they
were satisfied the Prosecutor in this case gave the.
Prisoner this money under the impression of fear,
either of his reputation or otherwise, the taking of
the money in such case was a complete highway
robbery.
The. Jury being Clearly of that opinion, found
the Prisoner guilty—Death.

johl W.;ll;ams was indiae3 for a capital offence,
that of stealing two silver' table spoons, and other
articles of cln:,iderable value, the prop.erty of Mr.
Jardin, in 'his dwelling-house.
There was a doubt, upon the evidence, that the
Prisoner stole the property ; but as it appeared that
the hcuse was incorrectly described to be the
dwelling-fiouse, of Mr. Jardin, there was an end of
the capital part of the charge; for every materiat
averment in an Inditimen: mtist be correctly made,
or. the Prisoner shall have advantage from the mis-
take.

Guilty of stealing the goodS, but not from the
dwelling-house, &c. which saves the Prisoner's life.

Thomas Culver was indiaed for a capital offence,
that of stealing a mare; but it appeared in the'
course of the evidence, that he had, at Mor,r, only
committed an ,o of:I-rover, and therefore hisCotin.

John Oliver was tried for a Irigllway robbery
on Francis Hilton, putting him 'in fear, and tak.n7.,
from 'his person, again:;this will, a gold watch, Ills
hat, half-a-guinea, and a 7% piece, his property.
The Prosecutor stated, that on the 2,1 of
September instant,. about nine at night, he' was
.surtounded by a in,.:l) on the ..'Vest side of Fimbury-
square, and he was struck,several violent blows on
his side ; he however kept upon his legs, and ma-
• •.,::
naged to.get on the steps of one of the hbuSeS; and
there he felt somebody pulling at his watch, who ve‘as
disappointed in getting it, for the chain broke ; but
the Prosecutor Said " don't use me ill, and you
shall have what I have. got ;" ort which he gave
them a•half-guinea and a seven-shillinz.: piece, and
his wa7eh was taken away fr6m him ; it was
,a
gold watch, and it was snatched away from hint,
and his hat was also snatched away. The follow-
ing day he went before the Lord Mayor, and lodged
his complaint, giving in the particulars of it.

GI the 6th of the month, the Prisoner was taken
up for bullock bunting, and brought befoie the

Lo-rd Mayor. The Constable seeitlg his hat with,
out a stamp, looked under the lining, and there he .;
saw the name of Hilton, written in .chalk.:. Mr.
Hilton was sem foe,, and when he came to lOok at
the hat, he knew it to be his, it being a remark-
ably thin hat, and he having had it a long
This Mr. Banks, the'hatter, .confirmed, by swer-
ing to his own hand-writing, in chalk, in it, the
name of Hilton, to whom he sold it, his custom be-
ing to write the name in chalk, di+ customer, who
buys, and he did so in this case.
Mr. Hilton would not swear to the person of the
Prisoner, as being one of the crowd that attacked
him in Finsbury.square : the watch of the Prose-
cutor was never found.

The Prisoner said he bought the hat, but called
no evidence to any fac'l. •
Several witnesses appeared to his charaCter ; one,
a respectable person, said the Prisoner was sig months
a In his Clerk.
Mr. Baron HOTHAM, in the course of hi's Charge
to the jury, observed, that this was one of those
cases which had much too often happened, that of
a mob colleaing, and, by force and violence, taking
away every thing they could* lay hold of, from
people in the street. Here it was clear that the
Prisoner had the hat which the ProSecutor. Jost in
this scuffle, on the 2il of September, and the Pri_
sorer was found in possession of it four days after-
wards,. happening to be taken up for another, but
interior -outrage to that_ with which he was now
charged ;: this called for a liery'satisfaatory: explana-
tion, on-Ilis parr, 'how he came.int6'.possession of
this hat so soon after it was, stolen. thus by violence-
from the-Prosecutor ; for, under the circumstances
in which. the hat was produced, -he
,thought there.
could .he no doubt it was the hat of. Mr.
The question then was—how the Prisoner came by
it ? If.he had been found in possession of it imme-
diately after the• robbery, no man living -would
-Live had any doubt upon the matter, unless the Pri-
soner proved he had got it innocently.. Here four
days had elapsed between the time ,of the taking
the hat from the Prosecutor, and its being found
in the possession of the Prisoner. During that time
it was possible the hat -might have gone Through
different hands. He left it to the jury to say,
whether they believed that to have been the case,
or not, in this instance. If the Prisoner really did
buy the hat, of course no crime was to be imputed
to him ; but if the Jury were perfealy satisfied Char
the Prisoner was one of the party who committed
the outrage on Mr. Hilton, on the 2d of SepteMber;
and assisting in that outrage, then it would be no.
matter how the Prisoner came by the hat ; they
ought to find him guilty : if they doubted it, they
ought to acquit him : but if they were, satisfied he
got it through any share he had in committing the
outrage on the Prosecutor, on the id of September,
they ought .to find him guilty.

Elizabeth Roberts and Ana Brett 'were charged
with a capital offence, in feloniously stealing a
silVer watch value zl., and z7s., the goods .of Ed.
ward Paxton in the dwelling-house of Elizabeth
Blake.

It appeared in the course of the evidence, that
the Prosecutor, a day.labourer, had been drinking
a great deal at different Public-houses in Holborn,
on the evening of the 7th instant. In the course
of these proceedings he fell in with the Prisoners,
who.were of nearly the very lowest Order of Cy-
prians : he treated them- with liquor and beer at one
or two places, and at length the parties' agreed to
repair to the Bull and Gaie Inn, Tavern,'Hotel;
.Colfce.house, &c. in order to crown the indulgencies
of the-evening. On ordering eighteen pennyworth
of mixed liquor, they were shewn into an up-stairs
sitting room; this was not, a iirivate room, be-
cause, as.. the chambermaid informed the Court, it
had neither a bed nor a sofa in it. Soon after they
had got in, the Prosecutor stated, that one of the
Prisoilers took his watch from him, but which he
oOliged her immediately to restore, and he put it
his waistcoat pocket. In a
_short time after
the Prisoner Brett went away, and as he was corn.
ing down the stairs he was met by the chamber-
maid, who asked him' if he lost any thing.
On examining hi found that he had lost his, watch,
and also his money, on which the Prisoner 'Roberts
was immediately detained.
Esther Allen, the chambermaid above-mcntioned,
stated, that she went into an adjoining room to that
wherein .the parties were, upon some business, when
she overheard one of the Prisoners say, apparently
to the other, " Damn you, why don't You brush ?"
This awakened her suspicions, and she-came out of
the room, when she found the Prosecutor and Ro-
berts coming down together; she then asked him,
as above stated ; and on learning that he had lost
his watch, she.sallied our in quest of the Prisoner -
Brett, whom she found in Holborn, not far from ihe
house. She charged her with the theft ; the. Prisoner
had the watch in her hand, but said is had , been
given -to her.- With the assistance of- soma of the-
byestanders she was brought back to the Bull and'
Gate, where the watch was taken from her.. No
money was found on the Prisoners. .
The foregoing faEls being substantiated by evi-
dence, and the watch duly identified -by •the Pro.
&motor, the Prisoners were called upon for their
defence.

They both entered into a very- circumstantial
detail, of a nature which precludes our repetition
of it. However, the jest of the whole, as appli.
cable to the charge, was, that the Prosecutor was
excessively intoxicated, and that he had given the
watch to the Prisoner Brett to pawn for five shil.
'ins, which she asserted Paxton had promised her,
for a certain consideration, and that while she was
going to pledge it, the chambermaid came up and
took her jilt° custody.
Mr. justice CHAMBRE, in the course of his
charge to the Jury observed, that the evidence did
not bear out that part of the indiament which laid
the goods to be stolen in a dwelling-house, and
which was a capital charge : it appeared that the
watch was on the Prosecutor's person and under his
personal proteEtion, which put it out of the pur-
view of the ak which rendered it a capital cifence
to steal in a dwelling-house. As to the simple
