NEW COURT.

Mary Ann Whitehead was convicted for stealing, on
the 24th September, 1831, four table-spoons, three shirts
and a necklace, value 51. the property of her master, Air.
Isaac Hewit, a wine-merchant, residing in Savoy-street,
Strand.

William Frost and Richard Sheldwick, two respecta-
ble young men, were indicted for stealing, on the 20th
of August, two bottles of wine and one bottle of brandy,
the property of Messrs. Lloyd and Austin, wine and
spirit merchants, Cannon•street.
Mr. PHILLIPS, who appeared for the prosecution, stated
the ca-e to the Jury. The prisoner Sheldwick, on the
20th of August, called at the house of the prosecutor ano
ordered two dozen of port wine, two dozen of sherry,
and two gallons of brandy, to be sent to Messrs.
Frost and Co., in the Kingsland-road. The wine was
taken by Mr. Lloyd's carman to the place in question, with
express directions on no account whatever to deliver the
goods without the money. Upon the man's stating this,
the prisoner Sheldwick presented him a 60/. bill of ex
change in payment. The carman insisted upon receiving
the cash, and a long quibble ensued. The wine was ulti-
mately got into the house, the carman keeping strict
watch over it, and declaring he would not stir till he had
received the money. In the course of unpacking the wine,
one bottle was smashed, which Sheldwick proposed should
be drank. After which the prisoners shut up and darkened
the house, at which the carman becoming vociferous, a
great mob collected round the house. The wine and
brandy were ultimately given up, but two bottles of wine,
and one of brandy, were missing. This abstraction, the
Learned Counsel apprehended, was clearly a larceny, of
which he felt no hesitation of convicting the prisoners.
John Collins, examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—Was in the
employ of the prosecutors. Knew the prisoner Sheld-
wick. Remembered his giving an order for wine on the
20th of August.
John Lloyd—Was a wine and spirit merchant, carrying
on business under the firm of Lloyd and Austin. The last
witness informed him of the order given by Sheldwick,
who called in the evening of the same day, and expressed
his surprise that the wine had not been sent. Witness
stated to him that it was not their habit to send wine to
parties they did not know. Sheldwick then said, " he
thought the witness knew Frost ; that he was going to
have company, and wished to give them a treat." Upon
the understanding that it was to be paid for on delivery,
witness agreed to send the wine.
Cross-examined by Mr. CLA RKSON-Mr. Frost had be-
come the endorser of a bill for another party at their house.
William Neighbour—Was carman to the prosecu-
tors. Took, on the 21th of August, four dozen
of wine and one of brandy to the Kingsland-road.
Neither of the prisoners were at home when he got
there with the wine. Sheldwick very soon afterwards
arrived from a small beer shop ; he gave him the bill. When
he went in with the dozen of brandy, witness said he could
not leave it without the money. Sheldwick said it made
no difference, as his clerk h id a 601. note in his pocket.
Took in the wine to a plumber and glazier's shop. Witness
observed it was a curious place to unpack wine. Sheld-
wick said his wife was out, and he could not get into the
warehouse. In unpacking the wine one bottle was broken,
which was drank; after this was made away with Sheld-
wick said he would have another. Witness objected, and
insisted upon having his money. The witness then went
on to prove the facts as detailed by Mr. Phillips in his
opening speech.
Aquilla Longman, a nightman, rather darkly dressed,
though residing in White Bear-gardens said Mr. Frott

~ffered biro a bottle or two of brandy to get the mob out
f the way, while he got rid a the carman. Instantly set
off to Mr. Lloyd's, and procured a policeman, by whose
assistance the wine was got out of the possession of the
Meura. Frost.

W. Cook, police constable, 96, division N, took Frcst
into custody. Afterwards took Sheldwick at Hoxton.
Both prisoners denied any intention to defraud Mes,rs.
Lloyd, and trusted to the merciful consideration of the
Court and Jury, each having a I irge family of children.
The COMMON SERJEANT summed up, stating that the
question for the Jury was, whether the brandy was taken
by the prisoners to give to the mob in order to get them
to disperse—if so, it was no act of felony.
The Jury found both the prisoners Guilty.
