BURGLARY.

The LORD MAYOR assured Nelson that he should be
supported in the exercise of his duty, and the case was
adjourned.

John 'lves, aged 25,;ioodi;iiieted for burglary in the
dwelling-house of Wm. Larkins Pascall, and stealing two
candlesticks on the 11th of July last.
Captain Pascall resided in the East India-road; on the
12th of July last, heard a noise in his house about 3 o'clock
in the morning, he got out of bed, and on going down
stairs he found the parlour window burst open, and missed
the articles laid in the indictment; he offered 504 reward
for information about the robbers; in consequence of in-
formation which he had received from a Jew, he took five
or six persons to the prisoner's house a few days after the
robbery, and on coming into the house the prisoner cried
out " What the devil are you all doing here ?" prisoner
wore a canvass shirt, and several pieces of glass
fell from him ; he was given in charge of the watchman ;
they then proceeded to a hedge (being led by the Jew)
and there found several other articles, the property of
witness ; the hedge was about half a musket's shot off ;
the prisoner, on being brought to the watch-house, said
he had, found them.
Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—The Jew did not
give information, until the reward of 504 had been offered.
Bryan Levy, a dealer in foreign curiosities, saw the
prisoner on the 14th of July, who asked him, to buy glass
of him ; witness recollecting having seen bills stuck about
the walls, offering a reward for the robbery, was so much
agitated at the time, that he did not think of the reward,
but the prosecution ; told prisoner he would buy, and ap-
pointed to meet him at 9 o'clock, which he did accordingly.
Prisoner led him toafield near Bromley, and showed him a
hunting watch; prisoner searched:the hedge for two bronze
candlesticks but not being able to find them, prisoner went on
further and found several other articles, for which he asked 30s
witness offered him 15R.; prisoner said he would not take
them, and went home ; witness went immediately to the
prosecutor, who apprehended the prisoner as he was giving
the glass to his wife.
Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—Was a Jew ; never
saw the prisoner before ; the prisoner had the same oppor-
tunity that witness had of knowing that a reward had been
offered for a discovery ; did not go instantly to apprise
Captain Pascall of the discovery; took four hours to consi-
der, though be was within three minutes walk of prosecu-
tor's house ; gave information for the sake of justice, and
did not care a pin for the reward, but expected the reward
as it had been offered; knew he should not be entitled to
it unless a conviction took place; had never been con-
cerned in such business as this before; had no shop of his
own ; had no place of residence in the city of Westmin-
ster ; his only residence was No. 1, Bonier's-buildings;
said nothin
g to the prisoner about the reward offered, as it
would give him an opportunity of escaping; though his
mind was agitated, yet he thought of that.
Thomas Bradly, a constable, apprehended the prisoner.
Several persons gave the prisoner a good character.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE observed that, to constitute
the crime of burglary, the law required the breaking should
be done by night, but as there was no evidence
of the act having been perpetrated before three o'clock,
(it being then day-break,) the Jury had better dismiss the
capital part of the offence. Verdict—" Guilty of stealing
in a dwelling-house over 405."
NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
Eliza Edwards was indicted for stealing, on the 30th of
June, a handkerchief, the property of Wm. Cogan Boulton.
William Cogan Boulton—l was on the evening of the
day iii question in Chandos-street, and the prisoner shoved
me by the side, took hold of me by the handkerchief, and
ran off with it.

HATTON-GARDEN.—(Tms
A Gentleman, who gave his name Mr. Thomas Moore,
of 25, William-street, Hampstead-road, was charged by
Limbrick, the officer, with assaulting him last night.
Mr. Moore declared that the charge was a fabrication,
and originated in his refusal of a demand made by Lim-
brick, to remunerate him for the trouble of detaining him
from home in the afternoon.

Mr. Sergeant SELLON told the prisoner, that as he pro-
duced no witnesses to substantiate his assertion, he must
find bail.

This was immediately done, and Mr. Moore retired,
reiterating his determination to indict Limbrick at the Ses-
sions.

• UNION-HALL--(THis DAY.)
A smart looking young woman, who gave her name
Kitty Flanagan, charged a young man (unknown) with
hiving robbed her, under pretence of marriage.
Magistrate--You have been lucky to have escaped being
married to so worthless a fellow.
Applicant—Your Worship, I am rejoiced at it; all I
'ant is my property, as I don't care a pinch of snuff for
the blackguard.
An officer was despatched with the poor girl to compel
the man to deliver up the clothes.

OLD BAILEY—(THis DAY.)

(Before the RECORDER and Alderman Sir R. C. GLYN.)
Wm. Thomas, aged 34, was indicted for stealing in the
dwelling-house of Wm. Young Knight 18 silver forks, and
six silver spoons, value 201., on the 9th of July last.
It appeared by the'e,vidence, that the prisoner had lived
in the service of the prosecutor, and had left him a few
months previous to the robbery : being in the habit of vi-
siting the house, he took an opportunity of taking the plate
in question off the side-board in the parlour, and attempted
to pawn them with a Mr. Levi, a Jew, who suspecting
that they had been stolen, gave information at Bow-street,
in consequence of which the prisoner was apprehended;
whereupon he voluntary confessed his having taken the
property, and referred the officers to the place where he
had deposited it. The property having been there found
was conclusive of his guilt.---Verdict : Guilty.
Mary While, aged 39, was indicted for stealing a quan-
tity of flannel, the property of Thomas Robinson, of Craw:-
ford-street, on the 20th of August last.
It appeared that the prisoner had been standing for
some time at the shop door of the prosecutor, and had
taken up the flannel, which was outside the door, and
walked off with it. It also appeared that she was intoxicated
at the time.

•
Verdict—Guilty of stealing under the value of 40s.
CHARGE OF MURDER.
Before Mr. Justice LrenznALr.
John Lee, aged 15, Mathew Smith, aged 17, Henry
Stockwell, aged 17, Joseph Sewel, aged 16, and James
Saunders, aged 16, stood indicted for the murder of Ed-
wired Lavey, on the 30th of July, at Hackney.
Wm. Done, examined by Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE.—
Knew the deceased and the prisoners ; saw the deceased
and Lee together at Clement's-square, on the 26th of July
last, between eight and nine in the evening; some of the
prisoners were present; the deceased said nothing before
be struck Lee; Lee returned the blow; they then fought 2
rounds, and the deceased gave a challenge to Lee to meet him
on Sunday morning, about half-past seven, at Shoreditch
church ; au the prisoners were present ; there were no re-
gular seconds; they fought for more than an hour; there
were no sticks; Lavey had the best of it ; the tight ended
by Lee falling upon the deceased, whereby his elbow was
thrust into the deceased's throat, who was immediately
taken to a doctor, and bled ; he never recovered after the
fall ; witness accompanied him to the London Hospital,
where the deceased .died at four o'clock the same day.
It was a fair fight; all the prisoners were acting as seconds
to both parties; saw Stockwell taking Lee up two or
three times; saw Smith taking Lavey up three times,
and the other prisoners acting in like manner; there were
between fifty and a hundred people altogether present.
Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—SeveraI others acted
as seconds as well as the prisoners; the prisoners were
endeavouring to prevent foul play; Stockwell was not
above five minutes present, for he left in consequence of
his trowsers having been torn; it was long after he left that
the accident happened.
By Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—StockweII sat on a bank
about fifteen yards off; and was doing nothing but look-
ing
Henry Brown witnessed the tight; saw the prisoners
at various times pick up Lee and the deceased ; he corro-
borated the testimony of the last witness.
Thomas Brake, a pupil at the London Hospital, remem-
bered the deceased having been brought to the Hospital,
nu Sunday the 30th of July, perfectly insensible, having
bruises on the temple, forehead, and the left ear, which
appeared to be produced by blows of the fist ; there were
also bruises on the neck, of which he died on the same day.
On opening the body, he found a quantity of blood on the
brain, which witness thought was the cause of his death;
that extravasation of the blood was produced either by a
Severe blow or a fall.
Cross-examined by Mr. PitfLuPs—To fall without any
13102 y might hare produced that extravasation.
de_The prisoner Lee being asked what he had to say in his
fence, said, that he had met the deceased on the Wed-
itaiesday previous to the fight, who, having walked some dis-
fne!ed withh him, struck him without any provocation, and

higger—but he was at length persuaded against his will to
fight--The prisoner spoke in a very uncollected manner,
and cried all along. Several witnesses were examined as
to character.
Mr: 'Justice LITTLEDALE, in summing up the evidence,
observed, that there were no grounds for charging the pri-
soners with murder—the utmost the crime could amount

ieceased died of a fall they would acquit the prisoners;
tit if the thou ht that the death was occasioned by a

And if they were of opinion that the other Prisoners aided

The Constable deposed that he was called upon by the
prosecutor, and desired to take her into custody; he found
the handkerchief on her person, and she said she hoped
the prisoner would forgive her. Verdict--Guilty.

George Russell, a watchman—About five o'clock on the
morning of the 19th I saw two men walking along with
bags on their backs; the prisoner was one of them; sus-
peeting all was not right, I asked them what they had
there ; they answered I had no business with them, that
what they had, belonged to their masters; I brought them
to the watchhouse, and then went for the keeper; when I
returned I found the bags which contained the articles
above-mentioned lying at the door, but the men were gone ;
