OLD. BAILEY, OCT. 30.

Patrick Reilly, aged 26, and Amelia Robert♦, aged 32,
were indicted for stealing a quantity of plate, jewels, and
wearing apparel, and other articles, of the value of 300/.
the property of Mr. Austin, of Red-lion-street, Clerken-
well.

Mr. Baron GARROw summed up the evidence, and the
Jury returned a verdict of Guilty as to both prisoners.
Shortly before the Judges retired, Mr. Justice Park
called the attention of the Lord Mayor and Skeriffs to the
noise which he had more than once to complain of as com-
ing from the neighbourhood of the Court. He had taken
the liberty to mention this in the presence of his Lordship
(the Lord Mayor) knowing that it would receive imme-
diate attention.

- John Webberly and Cornwall were found guilty of
stealing two cheeses, some butter, and thirty eggs, the
property of Mr. Corry, cheesemonger, of Bishopsgate-
street. It appeared that the property was given to the
prisoners by a lad, a servant in Mr. Corry's shop, who had
been in the habit of robbing his master, and who was now
the chief witness against them.
John Doylt was indicted for stealing ten hempen sacks
and sixteen hundred weight of wool, value M. the pro-
perty of Cooper and Co., public warehousemen, of Joiner-
street.

A witness gave the prisoner a good character.
The Deputy RECORDER summed up, and the Jury,after
a few minutes' hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty.

NEW COURT.

James Morris and John Edwards were indicted for
stealing a five pound note from a poor woman, named
Mary Edwards. Verdict--Guilty.
The prosecutrix stated that the loss would be the ruin
of her.

Jacob Evans, an elderly man, described as a labourer,
was indicted for feloniously administering a certain quan-
tity of the decoction of fox-glove, on the 25th of October,
to. Camp Collins, which the said Camp Collins, not know-
Mg it to be a deadly poison, took, and became mortally
sick, and died thereof, on the 26th of October.

Mr. Whitmore, a surgeon, in Cold Bath-square, saw the
deceased on the 26th; he showed symptoms of having taken
vegetable narcotic poison, and some symptoms peculiar to
a preparation of fox-glove. He gave the proper remedies,
but the deceased died ; witness has no doubt that the fox-
glove caused his death. No better excuse than extrene
ignorance could be offered for the act. The book which
the prisoner had written was replete with mischief.
Mr. Sergeant ARABIN, at this stage of the case, aftei
consulting the Judges in the other Court, told the Jury,
that, however they might regret it, the charge of felony
could not be supported in this case, so as to convict the
prisoner of manslaughter; it was rather a case of misad-
venture. The prisoner-must therefore be acquitted.
He was accordingly found Not Guilty.
Martha Byatt was indicted under the Act 8 and 9

The prisoner fell into hysterics, and was unable to stand
at the bar.
She was then indicted with her daughter, Eliza Ryan,
for a similar offence. Both prisoners were, however, ac-
quitted on this indictment.
Martha Byatt prayed the benefit of clergy, but a record
of a former conviction in 1819 was produced, and the Jury
were sworn to try whether she was the same person.
They found in the affirmative.
John Jarvis Tolhunt was charged with felony, for mar-
rying a second wife, the first being alive at the time.
•John George Lee, deputy pariih clerk of St. George's,
Hanover-square, produced the book of registers: turned

prisoner. _

Crowexamined—Was not living with prisoner at the
time of his being taken up. Was living with Miller, the
butcher, at Camden-town. Prisoner quitted her after three
days, and she saw no more of him for thrie weeks. She
was married by licence.
Ledger, the officer, apprehended the prisoner on an as,
sault-warrant in Church-passage, St. Giles's.
A question was here raised upon the mode of appre-
hension, and the form of the indictment, which set forth
that the prisoner was apprehended for the felony, which
was committed in Surrey, according to the evidence,
whereas he was apprehended on a charge of assault com-
mitted in Middlesex.

The COMMON SERGEANT directed the trial to proceed
upon the merits, reserving the point for consideration,
namely, whether the detention which was occasioned by
the apprehension for the assault was a sufficient appre-
hension to answer to the description in the indictment.
The prisoner being called on for his defence, bean by
deprecating the exaggerations and misrepresentations of
his case in the newspapers.
The COMMON SERGEANT told the prisoner that he did
not believe that the Jury would pay any attention to the
statements of newspapers againq him.
Mr. ANDREWS advised him tilt to proceed with such
observations, as they were not likely to do him any good.
The prisoner declined making any further observations,
and his Counsel called no evidence. Verdict—Gitilty.
Subject to deliberation on the point reserved.
The :prisoner was again charged with marrying'Eliza-
beth Whitehurst, Rachael Pearce, his first wife, being then
living.
The deputy parish-clerk of St. George's, Hanover-
square, produced the book of registers, and found, that on
the 16th of December, 1797, a marriage was solemnized
between Edward Jarvis and Rachael Pearce.
