Edward Martin, aged 21, and Elizabeth Middleton.
aged 49, were placed at the bar upon three indictments,
each of which charged the. former with breaking and en•
tering dwelling houses and stealing various property, which
the latter was charged with receiving, knowing it to be
stolen. Martin pleaded Guilty to each indictment, and
Middleton pleaded Not Guilty.
The first case was that of stealing in tlie dwelling-
house of Wm. James Reeve, of No. 4, Ram-street, Lime-
house. On the night of the Ist March, the house was
safely locked up, and on the following morning it was found
that the house had been entered, and two pairs of shoes.
two shirts, and other articles, ,stolen from the kitchen. A
desk, which had been left on the parlour sideboard, was
found lying on the floor opened, and its contents
strewed about, and the table drawer was lying
on the floor, out of which several handker-
chiefs, two shirts, a night gown, gloves, and aprons, had
been taken. The two shirts and a bed •gown were pledged
at Mr. Wiggins's, a pawnbroker, by the prisoner Middle-
ton, on the 2d March. She stated that the property was
her own, and pledged it in the name of White, although
she used before then to pledee at the same shop in the
name of Middleton. When Middleton was apprehended
on the 2d of March, a shirt and one pair of shoes, be-
longing to the prosecutor, was found in her pocket. She
said the shirt was her husband's, and the shoes were her
daughter's. Other stolen property was found in her
house, in which the other prisoner lodged.
The Jury acquitted Middleton.
The next case against Middleton was, for feloniously re-
ceiving a painting and a tea-pot, which had been stolen
by the other prisoner Martin, from the dwelling house of
Augustine Skewer. The painting and the tea-pot was
found i❑ Middleton's house on the 2d of March, about
five weeks after the robbery. The painting was hanging
up in her parlour, and she said she had bought it twelve
months before.

The Jury found her Guilty of this charge.
The Court did not think it necessary to proceed with
the third case.

YEW COURT.
ROBBERIES BY SERVANTS.

Mary Till was indicted for stealing on the 22d of
March, from the house of Mr. Benjamin Sandon, 19,
Bury-street, St. James's, two sheets, two shirts, and two
towels, the property of Mr. Sandon, at whose house the
prisoner was frequently in the habit of working. The
charge was clearly made out against the prisoner by the
evidence of Mrs. Sandon and several pawnbrokers. The
Jury found her Guilty.
Ann Brown, a rather interesting girl, was indicted for
stealing on the 13th of December, from the house of her
master, Mr. George Cotton, wine-merchant, of 22, Graf-
ton-street, Soho, a gold neck chain, a reticule, several
knives d forks, and other property.—Guilty.
Elizabeth Newman, a servant, late in the employ of
Mr. John Richardson, of Burleigh-terrace, Upper Clap-
ton, was indicted for stealing five yards of linen cloth,
two pieces of carpeting, and other articles, the property
of her master.

The prisoner was cook in the fami'y of the prosecutor,
whose lady kept a boarding school at Upper Clapton, and
committed the robbery on the Ilth of February. Cir-
cumstances occurred which excited the suspicion of Mrs.
Richardson against the prisoner, and inquiry took place
which led to her detection. Eliza Newman, the sister
in-law of the prisoner, had been to visit her, and the
property being missed immediately afterwards, Mrs.
Richardson went to her house at Battersea, where she
found the property, which Eliza Newman said had been
brought to her house by the prisoner.
Eliz i Newman was called, and swore that she re-
ceived the property from the prisoner as a present; that
she employed a person to carry it for her to her house,
fur which she paid him.
Mr. PHILLIPS, who appeared for the prisoner, cross-
examined this witness very severely, for the purpose of
trying to elicit that she had taken the property without
the knowledge of the prisoner. The witness, however,
positively asserted that she did not even know the con-
tents of the bundle when Mrs. Richardson called.
The COMMON-SERGEANT said it was clear, from the
statements of the witness herself, that she had abetted the
tt,eft, if she was not the principal actor in it. The
Learned Judge also commented strongly on the prevaricat-
ing manner in which the witness had given her testimony.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.

The COMMON • SERG EA NT refused to allow Eliza
Newman her expenses, believing her to be worse than
the prisoner. _ .

Thomas Rogers, a tall athletic countryman, was in.
d icted for stealing a quantity of oats, the property of his
mater, Mr. William Walker, a farm,r, residing at En-
field—Not Guilty.
