• OLD COURT. . .
. (Before Mr. Sergeant. A RABIN. )
William Buller stood indicted for stealing a large quan-
tity of household furniture and wearing apparel, in the
dwelling-house of Jonathan Tibbs, the property of John
Sandy. It appeared, that he was a lodger, in the same
house with the prosecutor, and took an opportunity of strip-
ping the room 'of the latter. When apprehended, be con-
fessed the fact, and said, that he had been driven to it by
distress. Several witnesses gave him an excellent cha-
racter, and it appeared that he had a wife and eight children.
The Jury found the prisoner guilty of stealing under the
value of W.

(Before the Juno Es.)
Anthony Bernard stood indicted for stealing in the
dwelling-house of Thomas Dale, four five pound. Bank of
England notes and other 'monies, the property of Francis
Joseph Laine..

The prisoner, who is a foreigner, made his,election to be
tried by a Jury composed entirely of. Englishinen.- 'The
reader will doubtless recollect, that he is., the'same person
who possessed himself of the order for thepitypient of 800/.
from-the Gloucester Coffee-house, Piccadilly;-- --
The prosecutor stated, that he is a gentienianof inde-
pendent fortune, and came to London on the 241 of January
from Paris. He put up at the Gloucester Cdffee-house,
which is kept by Mr. Thomas Dale ; had been there be-
fore in the month of October. The prisoner was there
also at that time, and witness saw him almost every d:ty ;
being a fellow-countryman they soon formed an acquaint-
ance, and on the morning of the 13th of November, the
prisoner came to see him in his room ; witness had a pocket-
book containing four 51. notes and some papers, and also a
purse which contained between 6/. and 71. The pocket
book was on a dressing-table, and the purse was in a chest
of drawers. Had occasion to leave his room for a short
time. Though the prisoner had been in the room three or
four times, he was not there at that time. Soon after his
return he missed his pocket-book and purse, and informed
the landlord of the circumstance. The prisoner was gone
and he never saw him again until he was in custody. He
saw his pocket-book when the prisoner was before the Ma-
gistrate. He also saw a five-pound note, the number of
which he knew. It was 16,644.

Several other witnesses were examined, to trace the notes
to the possession of the prisoner, as well as other articles
which were stolen, which was done most satisfactorily.
Mr. Justice PARK charged the Jury at considerable
length, and without hesitation they found the prisoner
Guilty.

The prosecutor then applied to the Court, and said,
that he understood the English Jaw was much more severe
than the law of France, and he therefore hoped that
his Lordship would recommend him to the mercy of the
Crown.

Mr. Justice PAKK asked him if that was the only
ground upon which he could recommend him to mercy ?
The prosecutor replied, that in France the punishment
for such a crime would be eight years' imprisonment to
hard labour, and he believed that the prisoner was not
aware of tire extent of punishment to which he was liable
for the commission of such an offence.

Mr. Justice Put said, that that argument would apply
to many persons tried in that Court, for few of them were
aware of the extent of punishment to which they would be
liable. The prisoner must have known that he was doing
wrong. However, his recommendation should be men-
tioned in the proper quarter ; but he must observe that the
case-was a very bad one.

John Jones was indicted for stealing in a dwelling-
house 101. in silver monies, and divers articles, the pro-
perty of John Dixey. •
The prisoner resided inktsarne room with the riose-
cutor, and the money was taMtil•frin the box of the latter.
The case was clearly made Out against the prisoner, and
the Jnry found him Guilty of the minor offence, the capi-
tal charge not being made out, in consequence of the fol-
lowing little circumstance :—The indictment stated that
the monies were stolen in the dwelling-house of William
Hollet, but there was no evidence to prove that the Chris-
tian name of Hollett was William. The capital charge
was therefore abandoned, and the prisoner was found
" Guilty of stealing."

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Sergeant ALAEIN.)
William Nelson was indicted for stealing a watch-chain
and seals, from the person of John Ferguson, a carpenter.
The prosecutor stated that he was drinking on Christmas-
eve, at a public- house in Regent-street. He was shut out
with the prisoner at twelve o'clock, and they both knocked
to get in again. After a few minutes knocking, the
prisoner snatched the prosecutor's watch and rau off. -The
other ran after him, calling out " stop thief," and without
losing sight of, overtook him in- about 100 yards, by the
prisoner falling down. The watch was found afterwards
near the spot.

The prisoner in defence said, that he had been drinking
deeply at the time, and was unconscious of having done any
ill act, and called several respectable persons, who gave him
a good character for the last sixteen years. He was also
pro-red to have been quite drunk, the same as the pro-
secutor.

The Jury returned a verdict of " Guilty," but recom-
mended him to mercy on account of his previous good
character, in which recommendation the prosecutor joined.
William Carey was indicted for stealing a stove, the
property of Moses Woolf, on the 13th of September last.—
" Not Guilty."

He was then tried on a second indictment, fur stealing a
hearth-rug, value 155., the property of Isaac Isaacs.
The prisoner was a casual porter at sales, and was em-
ployed to protect the rug during the sale, but WIL9 missed
and the rug lost.

The Jury found the prisoner " Guilty" on this charge.

'PORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.-JAN. 10.

By the subjoined statement it will be seen that the Sor-
cery colt is now second favourite, having a decided call
over the Colonel, who has so long kept it, and, in the
opinion of many, without deserving it. He has been gra-
dually giving way for the last two or three weeks ; and if
he now went to the outside, we should not be surprised,
for it is not certain whether he trill ever be sent to Epsom.
The Johanna Southcote colt was in great demand yester-
day, 20 to 1 being taken to a considerable anicunt. The
odds were thus :---.
