OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.

Benjamin Sith, aged 3:2, was indicted for burglariously break-
ing and entering the dwelling house of Charlotte Cole, residing
at Twickenham, and stealing a large quantity of property.
Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case for the prosecution.

Thomas Bunce, an accomplice in the robbery, deposed that
on the evening of the 11th of Dec., he and three other persons
named Kite, Davis, and the prisoner, agreed among themselves
to rob the prosecutrix's house, Davis having ascertained that
she was absent from her house. They all met at the Two
Sawyers public-house, afterwards they went to the Bell, and
from thence they proceeded to Mrs. Cole's. They got
over the garden railings and went into the summer
house, from whence they went to the back door, which the pri-
soner attempted to force with a crow-bar, but did not succeed.
They, however, got into the window by forcing open the shut-
ters. They then ransacked the house of what they could get,
and put it into their bundles. Some of the property witness
concealed in a garden by the road-side, leading out of Twicken-
ham, and then they went to the yard of the Queen's-head public
house, and while there a watchman came up and spoke to Kite
and Davis, and then he went away. They then went into the
stable, and while there a decanter of wine fell down and
broke, upon which the watch came up, and they imme-
diately all rushed out, leaving the rest of the property
behind them. None of them were then taken. Subsequently
the prisoner and witness were taken up, and witness, upon a
second examination, declared all he knew of the transaction.
Witness took an officer to the garden, where part of the pro.
perty was secreted, but the plate was gone, and he had not seen
it since. Witness was taken into custody on the Tuesday week
following, the 20th of December. The prisoner was first taken
up. Davis and Kite were never taken. On the second exa-
mination, witness told what he knew, and took an officer to the
garden, where the knives and forks were found, but not the plate.
. _ _

Cross-examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS—Had come out of
prison to-day to give evidence, in order to save himself. Wit.
ness had not since seen the plate; it was put into the garden,
near the hedge, and the hedge had been since cut down. Rea-
dily fell into the plan to rob Mrs. Cole's house ; knew he had
no right to steal the property. Did not care whose house
he went to rob. The prisoner was discharged out of cus-
tody once. Was at the Queen's Head after this robbery
with the prisoner and Mrs. Crofts ; did not quarrel
with prisoner, or say that he would do for him. Was not
offended when the proposal to rob the house was made to him.
Witness took his landlord's crow-bar to assist in effecting the rob-
bery. Witness was in the summerhouse when the others forced
open the windows, which was fifteen yards distant; was in three
public-houses that night drinking ; would not swear he was sober;
was never taken up before for any thing ; soon after the robbery
repented that he had been concerned in it. It was not from
fear he at last confessed, but from repentance and love of
justice.—(Laughter.) Repentance and the officer seised him
at the same time.—(Laughter.)
James Webb, watchman at Twickenham, stated he remem.
bered when Mrs. Cole's house was robbed; on that night he
met Bunco, Kite, and Davis in Bell-lane.
Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good character.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. The accomplice,
Bunco, was ordered to be discharged from custody.
Robert Lewis, a young man of highly-respectable appearance
and connections, was indicted for forging a cheque for the pay-
ment of 1001., with intent to defraud Messrs. Hoare and Co.
lie was also charged with uttering it.
Joseph Onions, landlord of the Horse and Dolphin, in St.
Martin's-lane—On the 24th of December the prisoner came in
about six o'clock in the evening, and asked him to take a cheque
for 1001. to Messrs. Hoares on the following Monday to get
cashed, and in the mean time to advance him 21. He did so and
gave witness a receipt; witness had told him it was useless fur him
to go to Hoare and Co.'s without a receipt as he had done so before
for the prisoner, and having no receipt the money was not
given to him. Witness went out and got a half a crown stamp,
and prisoner wrote a receipt on it. On the evening of Monday
the prisoner came and asked witness if he had been in the city ?
he replied he had not had time to go; prisoner asked for another
sovereign and he lent him one. The following day witness
gave the cheque and receipt to Mr. Durham, a coal merchant,
to get the cash at Hoare and Co.'s house.

Mr. Alexander Durham, a coal merchant, deposed that on
receiving the cheque and receipt he went to Hoare and Co.,
but they detained them and refused the payment.
Mr. Palmer, clerk to Messrs. Hoare and Co, stated that
the last witness presented a draft for 100!., and a receipt. The
draft purported to be signed by Mr. Tooks, who had an account
at Iloare and Co.'s. In consequence of something which had
lately happened Mr. Tooks altered his manner of signing his
drafts. Witness knew that the draft in question was not
signed by that gentleman.
Mr. Thomas Tooks, an attorney at Sherhorne, in Dorsetshire,
stated that he knew the prisoner well. The draft now produced
was not in witness's writing.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.
Mr. Tooks recommended the prisoner to mercy.

Edward Drew was indicted for breaking and entering the
dwelling-house of William Tatman, Esq., in August, 1829, and
stealing a gold watch, value 181.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Theprosecutor strongly
recommended him to mercy.
