FIFTH .FAY.---MONDAY, SEPT. 24.

Henry Gr:Withs was indicted for burglariously
breaking and entering the house of Mr. Merry-
weather, in Charlotte,street, Bedford-square, on
the.night of the Loth instant, with intent to steal.
It appeared from the testimony adduced in sup-
port of this indictment, that Mr. Merry weather, who
is a barrister, was out of town at the period of the
alleged offence ; he bad left a female servant in care
of the house, who, on the night io.question, went
to As!ley's Amphitheatre, leaking the house secure,
no person being therein. About a quarter past
nine, John Harris, the clerk of Mr. Merry-weather,
'went to the house, in which he usually slept, and
on ringing the bell, the prisoner and another man
opened the door. .. They asked him what he. want-
ed, and not knowing who they were, he enquired
where was the servant ? They replied she was
gone to Sadler's Wells, and had left them in care
of the house. Harris, howevyr, did not credit this
story, and on their observing his doubt, they said
there was another man left in care of the -house,
who was at a public-house, and who he would
know. 'He then accompanied them towards the
public-house-alluded to ; but in the'' way a man
came behind him, and struck him a violent blow
on the head, and they all immediately ran off.—
He, however, pursued the prisoner, and secured
him. During the time the prisoners were running
some of them threw down an iron: crow, which
on being compared with a mark on the edge of
a drawer that had been broken open, exadly cot!
responded.
The Learned •Judge stopped the progress of this
case, by observing, that there was no proof of the
house having ,been broken open in the night time,
as the female servant had gone, out at six o'clock, at
which time it was light; nor, indeed, was there any
proof that it bad been broken
.open at all. From
the want of this,material faa of the proof, there-
fore, the prisoner was acquitted on this indidment.
He was detained,- however, to take his trial fur be-
ing found in the house with intent to steal.
John. Gibbs, alias Judd, was indicted for stealing
a pair of sheets in the house of William Hall, of
Union-court, in the month of July last.
The prisoner took lodgings in the house Of the
prosecutor, and the very first'night of sleeping
there he committed the theft in question.
. The Jury
.returned a verdict of--Guilty. The
prisoner is an old offender.
John Miller was convicted' of stealing sixteen
yardS of cotton, in the shOp of Mr. Walker, linen-
draper, in Blatidford-street, Oxford-street.
Robert Butt, Mciry !Patton, alias Butt, Charles
[Patton, JOsepn Cope, and Sarah Slater, in custody
for coining, were put to the bar to take their trial.
In consequence of the absence of a material wit-
nesii, however, the examination of th 6 charge
against them was postponed until next Session
