job,: Davenport, a child between nine and ten
years of age, whose head
.did not reach the bar, was
capitally indi(ted for stealing, in the dwelling-house
of Mary Lucas, seven shillings and sixpence in
copper, and a pair of child's shoes. The Prosecu-
trix, Mary Lucas, keeps a linen draper's shop in
Westminster, the child lived in the same neigh-
bourhood, and playing near the spot, took an oppor-
tunity of privately going through the shop into a back
room, and .from the caddie on the table took out
the halfpence in question,. and also a pair of child's
shoes lying near. He was deteaed, and the things
found upon him befOie he got out of the house.—
The Jury
.found him Guilty. The father, 'a decent
looking man, was in Court, and wept bitterly. Mr.
Justice GRosE said, he should send the child to the
Philanthropic Society, at which the father express-
ed great gratitude and satisfadion.

Robert- Oliver was indicted for having, while a
servant, embezzled the property of his master, to
the amount of 451. and upwards. It appeared in
evidence that the Prisoner, while in the oflice of
clerk to Messrs. Sansom, Blake and Co. Bankers,
Lombard street, as a sort of assistant to the clerk
of the clearing-house, or that place that is devoted
to the reception of those checks which have been
paid, the Prisoner took the check in question our
of the clearing, house, and sent it again for pay-
ment, by art unknown hand, so that it was twice
paid. The fraud being discovered, the Prisoner
was suspeaed, and taken into c►►stody. Some of
the notes paid for the check were found in his pos.
session, so that on the clearest evidence be was
found Guilty—Death.

THIRD DAY--'-FRIDAY, MAY 18.

Mr. Humpbry Hobart was brought to the bar,
charged with the Wilful Murder of Thomas O'Reilly,
in a- Duel, near Chalk Farm, on the 18th of Moy,
1803.
Captain Richard Dickson, in the service of the
East India Company, stated, that he was present at
a ball in the Pic Nic Rooms, Tottenham-street, on
the evening of the 17th, or rather on the morning
of the 18 t h May,. 1803. He did not arrive till
nearly one o'clock in the morning ; but. almost
mediately on his entrance, the Prisoner made up to
him and informed him, that he had been grossly
abused by the deceased. The witness was led, from
what he heard, to understand that a challenge had
passed from the deceased to the Prisoner. The wit-
ness attempted
,to compromise matters, but in vain.
The Prisoner also did every thing in his power to
accommodate the difference, although the abuse of
the deceased had been gross in the extreme. The
witness was acquainted with both parties ; had known
the Prisoner for upwards of five years ; he was a
student of law, .and a man possessing an uncommon,.
gentle and amiable temper.

Positive evidence was adduced of a meeting in a
field near Chalk Farm, on the evening of the 18th
May, 1803, to which Mr. O'Reilly was a party,
and in which he received a wound in his right side,
which, having perforated his bowels, occasioned his
death next day. That the Prisoner, however, was
the unfortunate instrument of his death, no evidence
appeared. It also appeared, from the evidence of
one of the witnesses, that the deceased, the day after
the duel, acknowledged that his opponent wished to
have made it up, had he been willing.
Mr. Baron GRAHAM, who presided on the Occa-
sion, ordered Capt. Dickson again into the witness
box. He then, though not without relunance, con-
fessed that he had advised Mr. Hobart to deliver
himself up to justice ; but said, that Mr. Hobart
had not direttly either confessed or denied to him
his guilt. On being more particularly questioned,
he also admitted, that he had done so in conse.
quence of the advice of the Prisoner's Attorney, who
had advised him to assure the Prisoner, that it would
be better for him to confess and deliver himself up.
The Learned Judge then stated, that this being the
case, he must examine him still further, and insist
on knowing whether the Prisoner had made any con-
fession before Sir Richard Ford. The Witness said,
that, on his repeating to him (the Prisoner) that it
would be better for him to confess, he did make
such confession.

Mr. KNArp, Cot sel for the Prisoner, contend-
ed that there was here no evidence. No confession
made, either under the impulse of hope, or the im-
pression of fear, could operate in a case of this
kind. Such he contended the declaration made by
his Client to have been, Therefore it could not go
to a Jury.

Mr. Baron GRAHAM, Mr. justice GROSE, Mr.
RECORDER, and the COMMON SER. J EANT severally
delivered their opinions, expressive of their convic-
tion, that the argument of the Counsel did not here
apply. The law was made to proteet persons from
being taken by surprize, and in an unguarded mo_
ment, under a convietion, that they would profit by
the confession, making declarations which their
Prosecutors might not otherwise be able to bring
home to them. This was not here the case. No
Prosecitot appeared, nor had the Prisoner made any
confession, but by an artifice of his own Attorney.
He had not been seduced to make the confession,
but had himself gone before the Police Magistrate
for the purpose of making a confession, which he
now wished to convert to-ins own advantage.
After a very candid charge from Mr. Baron
GRAHAM, in which he desired tl►e jury to consider,
whether there was rot a possibility that any concert
Of the kind alluded to, might not have been formed
without the privity of the Vrisoner, the jury retired,
and soot► afterwards came in with a Verdid—Net
