A Mr.

to the. Coachman of Miss Florsely, and to Mr.
Mason, who had originally let them to the Prose.

•The second horse was never heard of.
The Learned Judge having summed up the evi.
dente to the foregoing effed, .the Jury, after very
shortly deliberatwg, pronounced a vetdia of—
Gi/ty.

Hugh Charles and Hew, Burgess were inditfied
for stealing, on the 231 h of-December, a leg of pork,
value 4.5. 6d. the property of William Jenkins.
It appeared that the Prosecutor 'its a Pork-but-
cher, in Aldersgate-street. On the above men.
tioned day, about twelve o'clock, he sent his ser-
vant, a very young girl, with a tray, containing two
legs of
. pork, to the Gentleman and Porter public_
louse, Nicholl-square, in that neighbourhood, the
owner of which had purchased one of them. The
girl delivered the leg of pork to the mistress, at
the bar, which her husband had teleded ; and while
this was doing she laid .the tray upon the bar
counter. The two Prisoners and another man, it .
appeared, were drinking at the bar at the time,
and eyed the remaining leg of pork very attentive.
ly the Prisoner' Charles took it up in his hand to
look at it, and one of the otheri observed, " that
it it were baked it would shrink up to nothing."
The girl just turned her head aside, when the leg of
poll( and the, party at the bar were gone. The
alarm was given, and the Prosecutor acquainted
with the circumstance ; a pursuit took place, and
the/ two Prisoners were met in Golden.ltine. They

The above circumstances being clearly proved in
evidence, aid the defence of the Prisoners not being
of 'a satisfactory nature, true Jury had no hesitation
in finding them both Guilty..

, John Illorgart was eapitally.chargeil with stealing:
a silver tv.itch, value 31.
,the goods of William.
.Smith, in the dwelling-house of llenry Smith.
r.Phe.eircumstances of this case, though of a capi...
tal nature, were shortly given in evidence. The
Prisoner it appeared went into this house of the
Prosecutor, in one of the streets near Bethnal Green,
and entered a room on the ground-floor, where
William Smith, the son of the Prosecutor, and a
young man, brother, of the former, were asleep
its bed ; the lifting of the latch rather awakened.
Ahem, However, the Prisoner boldly advanced,
tank the watch 'otr the peg on which it wits hang-
ing near the bed's he,id, and walked off with it.
The elder brother, to whmn the watch belonged,
got up, just alarrrird his father, and in his shirt
ran after the man ; he overtook him about twenty
yard from the hintse, and found the watch in his
p,,,session. The matt begged his forgiveness, and
he had a wife and two children, who were in
want,

The Prisoner, an elderly man, made no defence,:
-anti Mr. Justice Rooxit observed, that the whole:
tilarge was made out - against the Prisoner,: if the.
Jniy were of opinion the watch was worth forty
shillings.
fhe Jury then inspeaed the watch, and after onn.
,i(lcting a littk, kind their verdit Chili), of steal,
log to the wane of 394. whlch 'obviates the capital
part of the charge.
