OLD BAILEY.

Ste°if!, DAY—THL-ItsOA.V, OCT. 28.
ROBBERY.

Simmi Fuller and Anne Pinny were tried for
robbing Josiah Raynes of a gold watch, his coat,
waistcoat, hat, money, and other articles, in the
dwelling-house of Eleanor Gibbs, No. 3, Mari-
gold Court, in the Strand, on the zist of Septetn-
ber last.

Josiah Raynes deposed, that he is an Apothecary,
in Great Mary-le-bone-street : on the day men.
tinned in the Indietmeot, he dined with a party of
friends at the Not thumberland Coffee.house, in the
Strand, and did not leave the compall till ten
o'clock at night. Finding himself a good deal af-
feaed by, the liquor he drank, he took a walk over
Blackfriar's Bridge; and on his way home, on his
return, he was accosted by the Prisoner, Anne'
Penny, as he believes, whose invitation to go home
with her, he was willing to accept of. She con.
duled him to her lodgings, in a two-pair of stairs
back room, and was partly undressed to. go to bed,
when, in about five minutes after his first arrival, a
man rushed into the room, and knocked him down,
by a violent blow on the side of the head ; when he
recovered ftitnself from the effea of the assault on
his person, he perceived that both the man and his
Dulcinea were fled, taking away his clothes, hat,
gold watch, &c. and the man leaving his own hat
behind. In his waistcoat pockets were a ten pound
and a two pound note, a guinea, and some other
money. From his state of Intoxication at the time,
and-the contusioo he was in, he could not positively
identify either of the Prisoners ; hut, he recolleCted,
that the man who knocked him down, had Oil a green
Military Jacket; and, he swore, that the watch,
coat, and other articles produced, were his pro_
perry, of which he was robbed, in the manner de-
scribed,

Elizabeth Gibbs_ said, that at the time of this
transaction, she was at work in a neighbouring
house, and came home on hearing the noise, and the
report of a Gentleman having been rubbed. She
went into Anne Penny's room, and saw the Prose-
cutor without his clothes, and complaining of the
treatment he received t on the table she saw the
working hat the Pri. oner, Fuller, usually wore,
and some buttons, all of which were marked 26111
Light Dragoons : the two Prisoners lodged toge-
ther in her house, and lived as .1,60 a and wile :
she did not exatily know what builnessl the man
was of, but .understood that lie..workedi upon the
River : his usual dress was a blue, and sometimes a
green, Military Jacket.
Michael Coleman, a Watchman, said, he knew
the Prisoner, Fuller, by sight, having frequently
observed him sneaking in the Court. His deposi-
tion was nearly to the same effeti as that of the fore-
going Witness.
It appeared that neither of the Prisoners returned
to their lodgings after the robbery. _ _

Thomas Hause said he knew the Prisoner,
Fuller, and. had a suspicion that it was he who
committed the robbery in question. In about ten
days after it happened, he accidentally met him
in the street, having a bundle tied up in a handker-
chief, on a stick upon his shoulder. The Prisoner
asked him to go and have something to drink,
but he declined it, saying he had no money. The
Witness then told him he was wanted at Bow.
street; to which, the Prisoner replied he would
not go there. The Witness then told him that
Mrs. Gibbs was taken up, and that he might clear
her by Making his appearance ; but he persisted in
refusing to attend there. He turned into Buck-
ridge-court, and the Witness following, he :Jollied
at a door and asked him what he wanted Of him ?
The Witness replied that he should soon know ;
upon which the Prisoner lifted up his stick and
made a blow at him, but did not hit him. He
then went into the house, shutting the door after
him, and got out by a back door. The Witness,
however pursued him, and with the assistance of
.two Officers, he was taken after a. smart chace,
in which he dropped the bundle. containing the
gold watch, waistcoat, and other ,artilles taken
from the Prosecutor, as well as some wearing
appa:cl, Which appeared to belong to the Prisoner
himself. He at first denied knowing where Anne
Penny was, but afterwards said she was at Mr.
Norman's, at the foot of the Bridge in Maidstone,
from which place he himself just arrived in his
way from Maidstone.
Two Constables confirmed the latter part of the
testimony, adding, that in pursuance of the diredlion
given by Fuiler, they pl%.ceeded to Maidstone,
w here they arrested Anne Penny at the house of
Mr., Norman, and on searching, the coat of the
Prosecutor was found in her possession.
Anne Penny stated in her .Detence, that she went
out along with her husband, and on her return
found her room open, the place in great disorder,
and went away on hearing that a Gentleman had-
been robbed. This she declared was all she knew'
of the transaaion.

Fuller said, that when he came borne from his work
On the zist of September, he found the room open
and without a light. Supposing his wife to be in
bed, he was preparing to lie down, when he found
a man asleep in the bed. This circumstance so:
enraged him and inflamed his jealousy, that he re-'
solved to live no longer with a woman so unfaith-
ful, and determined to set out immediately for
Maidstone, from whence he meant soon to go home
to Ireland. With this resolution he began to pack
up all his things in a handkerchief, and in the
darkness and hurry, supposed that he had inclosed
into his bundle the watch and other articles be.
longing to the Prosecutor. On his arrival at
Maidstone he discovered these strange acquisitions
and returned. to London with a design to return
them to the right owner if he could find him, hut
had not time to make inquiry, when. '4 was taken
- .<
up. He said he was in the army, and ha served in
the course of eighteen years in 'three regfinents of
Dragoons—that he Was wounded in ggypc *fighting
for his Country, and sent home with -a view of
returning to Ireland, his native country. He had,
as-he asserted, the best of chara6ters in the regi.
ments in which he served, but his Officers being
at prese,pt at the top of the Rock of Gibraltar, it
would not be convenient to being them into Court
to speak for

Charles Baxter Was charged With a tapitah
fence in privately stealing from the person of John
Christian Frederic Walssman, on the 7 h of ()Jobe!,
in the parish of St. Paul Covent-garden, a Poe..
ket-book, value 4s. containing two Bank f Eag_
land Notes for 21. each, and six Notes of il. each
his property.
The Prosecutor it appeared is a Foreigner ; he
was at Drury-lane Theatre on the evening of the
7th.insr. Towards the close of the Play he carne
out into the lobby, and instinAively, as it w ould
appear, kept his hand in his right coat_potkfo. On
seing a friend in the lobby, a Mr. Shuitz, alto a
Foreigner, he was necessitated to dislodge hand
in order to shake that of his friend : at this m anent
he felt the crowd press upon him, and he imagined
he felt something extraordinary about his pocket ;
turning round, he saw the Prisoner standing close
behind him, and in the aft, as the Prosecutor de-
scribed, of putting his pocket-book into his bosom.
lie instantly caught hold of him, saying, " you
have got my pocket book." At this nymnent some
persons, apparently confederates of -the Prisoner,
rushed against the Prosecutor, and endeavoured to
compel him to louse his hold. Wlr. Shultz then
took hold of the Prisoner, and instantly he was
seen by one of the Witnesses, a Mr. Smith, to
stoop down ; the pocket-hoOk was instantaneously
afterwards observed on the ground near the PO.
soner's feet. He was shortly' after secured, and
handed over to the Officers, who, on searching,
found nothing remarkable about him. •
In his defence the Prisoner said, that it was his
handkerchief he was putting into the breast-pocket
of his coat, when the Prosecutor thought proper to
lay hold of him. Of the pocket-book e knew
nothing. He had no Witnesses to bring forward.
Mr. Baron-ThomPsoN, in his charge to the Jury,
observed that though the charge was capitally laid,
yet the evidence did not bear out the. capital part
of the charge, namely, that of privately stealing
from the person, inasmuch as the party acknowledged
to have felt something at his pocket, at the moment
in which the pocket-b')ok must have been taken.
With regard to the fa& of a common stealing, they
would,decitleAhat from what appeared in evidence.
'lle-Wry 'shard their Verdict Guilty of steal.
ing,lbtit-not privately from the person.

Elijah Collins was indicted for feloniously steal-
ing on the 25th of September, a bag containing
B+ths. of loif sugar, value 4.1. the property of Messrs.
Smith and Travers.

It appeared that on the day laid in the India.
ment, the Prosecutor's Carter was sent out with a
waggon cart, in which was placed goods of various
descriptions, for delivery at different places. Among
these were two bags of sugar and one of rice, which
were destined for delivery at Iron. Gate wharf ; the
other packages had been duly delivered, and it
being too late for the delivery at Iron-Gate wharf,
the Carter "was returning home, and coming along
Tower-hill, he happened to look at the back of his
cart.waggon, when he found it open and missed the
hag of sugar in question. In a few minutes after
an acquaintance of the Carter's overtook him in -a
one horse cart ; they had not proceeded far together,
when, by one of the dispensations of the capricious
Geddess, Fortune, they met the Prisoner with the
hag of sugar on his shoulder ; the Prosecutor's Car-
ter instantly challenged him with the theft, on
which he immediately dropt the hag and endea_
voured to get away, but withaut effe:a.

The Prisoner in his defence said, he found the
bag in Rosemary lane, he took it up and was pro-
ceeding homewards with it, when two of the Wit_
nesses came behind, pushed him down, and took
the bag from hini
4ln o'll'4u: of this defence, however, not an atom
of eVt tire.' was adduced. The Learned Baron
l:7emea ,tfild Case a clear one, in which the Jury
manifeslivti Oi'dr perfect coincidence, by finding a
verdiCt of Guilty.

We are happy in stating, that Lady E. BENTINCK
is as well as her friends could wish her after the late
accident she met wi►h. The following account may
he depended on as more authentic than any which
has yet appeared :—Lady EDWARD BENTINCK was
lately riding out with a party of friends, when on
descending a hill her horse stumbled. In recover-
ing him, he made a twist, and broke her thigh just
above the knee, whilst on her saddle ; she remained
in that state s!ill keeping her seat, and supported
by Sir J. B. BuRGES, &c. till proper assistance was
procured. Although the greatest dispatch was used,
nearly an hour elapsed before her Ladyship was got
into a carriage. She applied and fastened the bandage
herself to her thigh, and since her confinement, up
wards of a fortnight, has given a decided proof of
that fortitude of mind she was always believed to
possess.

.A young Seaman of the name of Edwards, who
had, in the course of the late War, escaped the pe-
rils of the watery element, and braved the dangers
of many naval affirms, returned home on being paid
off: with his hard earned pittance he made a pur-
chase of the Boat plying betwixt Borrowstounness
and Crombie Point. This he did with the virtuous
resolution of sinking his little stock, and devoting
his youthful years for the subsistence of an aged fa-
ther. Unfortunately, on the first night that he
went into the Boat, he accidentally fell overboard
and was drowned.

On Saturday night, at eight o'clock, as a
woman was passing up Rope lane, Plymouth, she
was attack 's'b two soldiers with drawn bayonets,
who detiiaklllea her money with horrid impreca.
Lions : shViiiiinediately cried murder, on which one
of the A/Maids her, aying she should not cry
murder for nothing, wantonly stabbed her with the
bayonet over her right eye, and then made off, and
thotigh pursued, escaped all search. The poor
woman being carried to the Western Dispensary;
had her wound dressed ; it was not so great as was
at first apprehended, as the bayonet slanted along
the bone of the forehead.

LENSINGTON .7.1. kitting OF 3f: MARGARET:

This was an appeal by the latter parish against
order of t‘vo Justices, - adjudging• a raupet4 of th
naitut of Reynolds,. his wite; and t,t.vo, Children; td
be settkd in Sr. Margaret's. .

Mr. Con-r, for the Appeal, r,:ti 1, lie shotild apa
ply-for its adjOtirned on-account of the singu:..
tar circumstances attending it. The patiper, kcy-
noids, it was true; about 46 years ago Tented twd
hotves in Kensington Parish. But trim that time
until lately, when he applied forst-did-, he had ne::
ver been heard of hr them.

Reynolds, the pauper, was the natural i-n of a
weochainker at Kensingtor, and Was brought up by
his reputed father. Before he was out of his
time he married a young woman of some property,
and bet .up in business. It 'was at that time lie
rented. the two houses in Kensing-on parish.—He,,
however, shortly deserted his wife, aid went dr
with another woman. Mrs. Rjnolds continued
living in the parish 'mrny xears, and at her death
was (ne of the petiempeners to the church, WheO
he lately made his application for relief, some of
the Parishioners recolleded the circumstanct-s, and
male inquiry into the time of his latter in trtiage,
which they found to be some months previous to
the dea!h of the real Mrs. Reynolds. He had
sworn that he had married this wonian, though they
suspefted much to the contrary ; It -lvever, as she
was clearly riot settled with,them, they reritsed to
support her and the children: The Pauper !hen
made this proposal, that they should give her 155;
to enable her to get back to the place-tif her real
settleffient, and as lie eotild maintain himself he
~,?led no farther . relief.: They aceordingly ,gave
hint the sum he asked ; hut instead of getting rid
of him, the parish was much surprized to find the
whose family shortly after brotight bade under an
order of removal. The pauper then told them, that
however the questim of his wife's settlement might
have been when he was last with them, there was at
present an end of it, for that he had used the 'Money
they gave him to pay fora new marriage, and -that
his ti.ite was now unquestionably settled where hd
was. The Parish, suspeling he must have gained
Some other settlement during an absence of forty
years from their Parish, instituted an inquiry into
tile progress of this enan's life. They fOund that he
had wandered all 6%er England and Wales ; that he
had at different times supported the various' chit
rafters of .player, parson, soldier, man of fashion,
and trader. :That helhad mat rigid Aix wives, and
they vehemently suspected a seventh. At Lough.
borough, in Leicestershire,, he in irried a young
Lady of soirre.-Property ; hut it seemed his chief ob-
jea in marrying her was to get the guardianship of
her brother, and his fortune, which was much more
considerable. He did not succeed, however, in
that plan, and svhen he had squandered what he
rained he decamped. At. Bristol be married again,
under the name of Sir Harry Davis. In anOthee
part of England lie married in the name of Sir Harry
Reynolds; but, being accict'entally di coveted by
-some persons Who kne'w him. as Sir' Hatry riSi
was detefted, and obliged to get off. Ile accord:
ingly decamped, and took refuge at the Bull
_lnn,
at Bedford, and very slit)i-iy in,truied his hostess.
whom he as shortly redueed.to pOverty. I fere again
he was discovered, but to ei;fisoie his wite, he as;
sUred her she was but eme of six in the same condi-
tion. This was the witness, Mr. CoNst said, upon
whose testi.eony atone at present they could prove,
a settlement. But as he knew what made a legal
settlement as well as any f them, and had declared
that he would answer no illegal questions, he hoped
the Court would adjourn this appeal, to give the
parish an opportunity of discovering whether there
were not some subsequent settleniente‘:
The pauper desired the attention of the Court to
a few words--Whatever, lie said, might have
been, the irregularities of his former life, it was not
a love of justice is bids had induced the parish to
ex,pce them, but because be bad deteatd and pub_
fished the ead-praftices of their work-house.

In his deportment and manners he appeared to
possess great easek tie was-grey-hea&d, with
countenance rather singular, but of, a marked ex:.
pression.—The appeal was adjourned.
