OLD BAILEY—(Turs DAY.)

OLD COURT.
Before Mr. Sergeant AKABIN and a Aliddlesex Jury.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

Hayer, aged 23 wasindicted for assaulting Frances
Howell on the King's highway, and stealing from her
person three keyS, a handkerchief, and 17s:
Frances Howell lives in Bethnal-green. Her husband
is a seafaring man; he had been out two days and two
nights, and on the 18th of July she went out to look for
him. At a quarter past eleven. o'clock at night on her re-
turn home she. saw about a dozen men standing near Brick-
lane; aftershe passed them, two followed and asked her for
something to drink,; she went on, • and was afterwards
met by a person who held up his hands before his face, at
which moment one of the persons who followed, seized
her by the shoulders and she was robbed. Could not
say that the prisoner was the man who either met
her with his hands before his face, or took hold of her by
the shoulders ; thought the prisoner might be the man
that seized her, ,but might be mistaken in him. Another
woman appeared who was present, but she did not think
the prisoner the man.
The Officer apprehended the prisoner upon the descrip-
tion given by the prosecutrix.
Mr. Sergeant ARABIN considered the evidence too loose
for the Jury to find the prisoner guilty of the capital
charge, or indeed of any charge.---. Not

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Catherine Parnienton and Sarah Jarvis, were indicted
for assaulting AlOysius Last on the King's highway, and
stealing from his person a watch ; and William Sturdy, for
assisting the two females afterwards, well knowing them
to have committed the felony. The prosecutor deposed,
that on. the night laid in the indictment, he was met by
the two female prisoners and two men. The men seized
and struck him, and the women took his watch from him.
He was sure that it was the females who took the watch,

though► he could not say which. The men ran otr, and
very soon after he was attacked by Sturdy who knocked
him down. The women then ran away. He got up, and ran
after the females ; saw one of them go into a house and there
lost them, when he was again overtaken, and struck by
Sturdy. He was sure that the prisoners were the persons
who attacked and robbed him. Had never seen the watch
since.

James Proctor remembered, on the 24th of August, see-
ing Sturdy holding the prosecutor in Lisson-street, Lisson-
grove. The prosecutor fell, then got up, and ran after the
prisoner, Parmenton, whom he knew before. Did not
know whether Parmenton ran into a house in George-
street or not ; knew the other female before.
James Gibbs, an officer,' went in search of the prisoners;
when be got to where they lodged, be found Sturdy and
Parmenton living as man and wife, mid Jarvis in the room
also, who ran under the bed to hide herself.
Another officer assisted to take the prisoners into cus-

tody.
The two females, when calledon fin• their defence, made
none, except denying their guilt.
Mr. Sergeant ARARIN summed up. He had not called
on Sturdy for his defence, because, from the testimony
given, it did not appear that he was present when the
robbery took place; he ought not to have been indicted as
a principal, but as an accessary, which, perhaps, he might
yet be; but at present he was entitled to his acquittal.—
As to the females, if the Jury-believed the evidence, they
would have to find them guilty.
The Jury acquitted Sturdy, and found the female pri-
soners Guilty—Death.
Mr. Sergeant ARAM quite concurred in the propriety
Of this verdict, and desired Mr. Wontiter to detain Sturdy
till the next Session's ; a bill to be prepared against him' in
the meantime, and the witnesses. bound over to prosecute,
as it was absolutely necessary that the public should be
protected against such a character.

Before Mr. Justice LITTLYDA LE and Mr. Justice CASELit.)

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY

Thomas Hall, aged 32, was indicted for stealing in the
dwelling-house of Emanuel Allen, two Bank-notes value
150/.; and Elizabeth Hall, aged 20, for receiving one of
the said notes, value 100/., well knowing the same to have
been stolen.

Mr. ALLEY conducted the prosecution—Mr. Allen, his
client, was a solicitor of. great respectability in Soho, and
the male prisoner had been clerk to that gentleman. On
the Bth of August, Mr. Allen • received a large sum of
money, which he counted over,,and put into his box ; soon
afterwards he went. to the box, and found the sum in ones-
tion was gone, which he would distinctly trace to have
been in the custody of the prisoners.
Mr. Allen deposed that he was a solicitor in Carlisle-
street, Soho; he was not in partnership with his sons,
who also carried on the profession; the male prisoner was
a clerk to his sons ; on ,the 9th of August last, he was paid
a large 'sum ; a few days afterwards he went to hiS cash-
box, and found that a 1001. note, which he had received
from his son Charles, and .a .50/. note, received from Mr.
HuMphries, were missing. The male prisoner was in the
service of his sons till the. 9th of August;, he thought he
had put the whole of the money into the cash-box, but
found that he had incautiously left the money lost on a
desk in the office.; his sons and Mr. Gilby are in part-
nership.• •

, Cross-examined, by Mr, ANDHEWS—He. got the money.
on Wednesday, and until he looked into the cash-box on
SatUrday, hisiMpression was that he had put the money
there. His son-in-law, Mr. Gilby, scolded the prisoner
in mild terms on Thursday, the 14th, for neglect of duty.
Charles Pettit Allen—Lis solo() last witness, and in
partnership with Mr. Gilby. He and his partner carry on
their business in last witness's house, but neither of them
live there. Paid a 1001. note to his father on the 9th of
August.
Mr. Gilby—Paid the same note on the same day to Mr.
Allen, jun. The office in which Mr. Allen, sen. transacts
his business is one to which all the clerks, twelve in num-
ber, have access. On Thursday told the male prisoner
that he ought to have left the office long ago, and desired
him to walk off;
Humphries on the 7th of August received from.
mes;rs. Martiney and Co. Bankers, a 1001. note, and
another from Messrs. Hoare and Co., the larger of which
he paid to Mr. Gilby,- and the smaller to Mr. Allen, sea.
Mr. Allen sen. and Mr. Gilby identified the notes, which
were produced by a clerk in the Bank of England. The
hud no doubt that the female prisoner .was the
he had paid the gold for the lot note.

night of the 10th, about 12 o'clock, lie was awoke
my of
noise. He ascertained that it proceeded from the ro°.--be
the prisoners, and that the male one was intoxicated; .
heard the male prisoner say he was much astonished, after
he had been in that house
long as he had been, to be
as
accused as he had been that day. Immediately afterwards
he heard a rustling of.
paper money, and the female pri-
soner, in a tone of astonishment, inquiring how he came
by it. This excited his curiosity to such an extent, that
he got
out
of
beds and listened ;4 tilt wtkinfotting. He

heard him reply to her inquiry, " It's no odds, the money
was his; he should go abroad; would she go with him ?"
She asked where he meant to go? He said, first to
Dover, then to Calais, and next, to somewhere else. She
said she should not go, and wished he would return the
property to somebody, the name of whom he could not
hear. He said he should go ; she observed that she should
not, and wished him to take the property back, and not
defraud so kind a benefactor.

Cross-examined—Had lodged in the same place for
abOut a fortnight before the 9th ; did not mention what
he had heard for two or three days to anybody ; when
persons are heard through a partition, it is more difficult
to understand them than if there Was no partition : when
persons are intoxicated, they also speak more thickly than
when they are sober, but on this occasion witness was
positive that he heard distinctly every circumstance that
he now related.

Joseph Donner, clerk to Mr. Kirkham, watchmaker
and silversmith in the Borough.—Remembers the male
prisoner calling at his shop and purchasing a gold watch at
12/. and a s►lver one at 24 in payment of which he gave a
SU note, and received the balance; saw the prisoner at
the police-office, and was sure that he was the person ;
could now positively say the prisoner was the man.
Wm. Dodd, a clerk in Messrs. Hoare and Co.'s received
the note from Mr. Kirkland, and paid into Mr. Humphries.
Mr. Humphries, and Mr. Allen, sen. identified the note to
be the one Mr. A. had lost.

The officer who took the prisoners into custody found
none of the property or watches on thiprisoners. He
heard the female prisoner say to her husband, don't tell
where you got the bills, or what you did with them.
Mr. ANDREWS now submitted, that the capital charge
against the male prisoner failed, on these two grounds,
that when he first took the money, he had no felonious
intent, but took it for safe custody, intending to deliver it
to its right owner ; and next, that Mr. Allen, intending
to put the money into safe custody, bad not done so, but
negligently left it on the desk;
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE stated, that the case for the
prosecution was now closed, and that the female was not
called upon for a defence, but that if the husband had any
to make, now was his time. _ _

The male prisoner declined to say any thing, leaving his
ease to his Counsel.

The Learned JUDGE summed up. In his observations
he stated, it might be more difficult to trace the .1001.
note than the 50/. one, and that therefore the best plan for
the Jury would be, to confine their attention to the 50/.
note. There were two questions for the Jury to consider,
first, whether the prisoner was guilty of stealing in a dwell-
ing-house at all; and next, whether he was guilty of steal-
ing to an amount above 40s. ; if the prisoner was guilty
of stealing at all, his offence was a capital one, the amount of
the notes being far above 40s. ; but it there was no intention
to steal the money, when the prisoner took it, and
that he then meant to return the money to Mr. Allen, and
that the intention of keeping it came upon him, sometime
after he left the house, the jury could- only find hint
guilty of larceny.
The Jury, without hesitation, acquitted the female
prisoner, and also acquitted the male prisoner of the capital
charge, but found him Guilty of a larceny.

Elizabeth Luan, aged 22, was indicted for stealing two
gowns, and other articles, to the value of-71. The cir-
cumstances of this case were, that the prisoner went to
hire herself as a servant of all work to a Mr. and Mrs.
Wright, at Lambeth; she remained there for about
Live weeks, and then, at an early hour, before the family
were up, went away. Subsequently it was ascertained
that she bad taken with her several articles of wearing ap-
parel, some of which were traced to her, having pledged
theM; but Mr. Adolphus, for the prosecution, not being
able to trace the whole of the goods, gave up the capital
charge, but thought he had proved the larceny.
The prisoner denied the charge. She appeared in a
very ill state of health, and stated herself 'to be without a
friend in the world.—Guilty of a petty larceny.

NEW COURT.
Before the CO/4110N StRiiEANT.

Thomas Barnett stood indicted for stealing on.the 17th
July last two shirts, valued 75., tend one shift, valued Ss.,
the property of 'William Griffith.
Mr. Quin stated the case.•

Mr. dritlith's servant, on the day mentioned, about one
o'clock, put out the articles to dry, on a green beside
Mr. Grillith's house, and in about an hour they were gone.
John Groves's house commands a view of Mr. Griflith's
green from his window; on the day mentioned, witness saw
a person take away the shirts from the green; witness .then
went out and pursued the person, and cried " stop thief."
The thief ran through a brick-field, and witness could not
Overtake him.

Cross-examined by Mr.
,PHILLIPS—Did not see the
man's face; could not say it was the prisoner.
Henry Shirley is a bricklayer; was working in the said
brick field on the said day. He heard a cry of " stop
thief," but does not know who said it. Saw a person
running through the field, who was the prisoner ; he was
not pursued by any body.
Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—The prisoner was
60 yards distant from witness; might be 100 yards, more
or less, for aught he knew. Witness never saw the pri-
soner before that day, but. still he is positive lie is the per-
son who was running through the field.
By_the COURT—Did not, see Mr. Groves that day.

(The Common SERGEANT here de.,ired witness not to
leave the Court, and read his evidence before the Magis-
trate, to whom he stated that he heard Mr. Groves cry

" stop. thief," and saw biro. -The witness, in consequence
of this palpable contradiction of the evidence given by him
before the Magistrate, was.committed to Newgate to stand
trial for peijury.)
The Jury without hesitation, acquittedthe prisoner.

John Musphy stood indicted for stealing on the 11th of
August, three axes and a hammer, the property of John
It appeared in evidence, that the prisoner had been em-
ployed as a labourer by the prosecutor, in the parish of
Marylebone, and was apprehended in the act of carrying
the above implements away,-when going home to dinner.
Verdict Guilty.

George Palmer stood indicted • for stealing a silk pocket
handkerchief, the property of Edward John Grafton, on
the 31st of August.
The prosecutor stated, that the handkerchief had been
taken out of his pockets, while walking in the Strand ; that
lie had afterwards seen it in the possession of the prisoner,
wlco, on being charged with it, dropped it in the stseet,-
whereupos he was apprehended.
The prisoner, in his defence, handed in a long written
statement, denying all knowledge of the transaction, and
complaining of the treatment which he had experienced
from the watchman, on being taken into custody. Verdict

used to say, speaking of the covetous disposition of

per cent. by it."

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS--(Tors DAY.)

Priscilla Meaning, Susannah Freeman, and Gorge
Freeman, were charged by John FairfaX, a watehma n
with having assaulted him in the execution of his duty.
It appeared in `evidence; that the latter had overstepped
his duty, and had beaten one of the females in•a cruel man-
ner ; the male prisoner fought in defence of the females.—
Not Guilty. •
James Mq.offin was indicted for ill-using his wife.
He pleaded guilty, and was bound in his own recognizance
of .501. to keep the peace for one year.
James M'lntyre, a hardy-looking weather-beaten sailor,
was indicted for assaulting John Phillips, a watchman, in
the execution of his duty, on the 17th of August last, in
the parish of St. Paul, Shadwell.
He made a very good defence, in which lie stated that
he had been a British sailor for thirty years.
Verdict—Not Guilty.
James Hayden was indicted for assaulting John Pin-
chin, a constable, on the 13th, at Bethnal-green.
John Pinchin depoied, that the prisoner was one of the
mob of bullock-hunters. On the day mentioned, a great
number of persons assembled with the prisoner in Brick-
lane, at a house a few doors from that of witness, where
a distraint had been made by a broker for rent. His notice
was first attracted by the noise of those persons at the hack
of his house, he looked out of the window, and saw a
great number of brickbats, &c. thrown from the next yard
by the mob. He asked them what they wanted; the pri-
soner and several others cried out with oaths, bring
out the broker (who had made his escape into another
house); he told theM he was not there,and that they might
come in and see, if they chose. Prisoner replied, " no,
that is what you want." They continued pelting witness's
house,. and the prisoner broke three panes of glaw, and
cut his head with ad oyster shell. They used dreadful
imprecations against the broker and his man,
Several witnesses confirmed this statement, and the
prisoner was sentenced to three months' hard labonr.

John Quigley, James Ryan, and. Wm. Qnigko, were in-
dieted for assaulting Robert Skelton 'a
-watchman, in the
execution of his duty, on the 27th oiAugnst.
Mr. QUIN United the ease. He observed that the three
prisoners were all Irishmen, and being an Irishman, him-
self, it was a matter of great regret to him that his coun-
trymen had not some better notions of regularity. They
seemed to consider that breaking the King's peace, and
breaking of beads, were highly civilised amusements.
They had had several severe lessons to teach them the
contrary, but he was sorry to say they seemed to have .but
little effect.
Robert Skelton stated, that on the 27th September, be-
tween one and two o'clock in the morning, he was on duty
near Islingtotkurnpike ; the prisoner and four other per-
sons were dancing on the pavement and making a "cry
great noise; desired them to go home, but they told him with
abuse that they would not, and John Quigley ptit his fist
in his face; .witness took hold of him ; Ryan tried to get
him away ; a scuffle ensued ; witness and John Quigley
fell on the ground, and were jumped du and kicked by the
others. -
Another watchman swore that.
John Quigley jumped
several times on the head of the last witness, anti that
Ryan kicked hint in the face.
Two other persons proved their great violence.,
The prisoners all replied that they were very quiet, and
that it was the fault of the watchman. . .

No evidence being adduced against William Quigley,
the Jury found him Not Guilty, and the two others Guilty.
They were accordingly sentenced to six months' hard
labour.

John Allan Robinson was indicted for assaulting his own
father, John Robinson. The prisoner pleaded " Guilty."
The father stated, with great feeling, the cruel treat-
ment of his son, in frequently striking him, when remon-
strating with him on the general irregularity of his be-
haviour.

Mr. MARRVATT asked the father if he wished to have
the prisoner punished, or himself protected from future
violence.

The father said that he knew of no method but that of
imprisonment, which could keep burn from his had usso.
eiktes.

Mr. MAIt it I,ATT observed that the duty of a father would
be rather to correct by lenience than severity. The father
uggested some solitary confinement for a short time; but
the Chairman ordered him to find a surety in 40/. for his
good behaViour. On his expressing his contrition, and
begging his father's pardon, the Chairman said, that he
would then alter the sentence at the father's application.
This, however, he rather • declined; and the prisoner not
having a surety, was ordered to be brought up on the ad-
journment day.

CORONERS' INQUESTS.—SUSPECTED MUS DER.—
Yesterday evening an Inquisition was taken lathe Red Lion,Church
street, Lambeth, on view of the, body of a male child, who was
found concealed in an out-building in the neighbourhood, and
who it was reported had been murdered.--After a patient inves-
tigation, during which no direct circumstances of a suspicious
nature, except that of the deceased's neck being swollen, trans-
pired, the jury returned a verdict of " Found dead ;" but how
the deceased came by his death there was no evidence to show.
On Tuesday last an inquisition was taken before
G. Got NNE, Esq., at Turner's hill, in the parish of Worth,
Sussex, on view of the body of Elizabeth Clifton, the wife of
Henry Clifton, bailiff to General Cartwright, of the Grove-
house, who, on Monday last, was unhappily killed by the acci-
dental discharge of her husband's gun. It appeared in evidence,
that Clifton and a friend of his who had called upon him, having
agreed on going out to shoot rabbits, the former went up stairs,
and brought his gun from the bed-room into the kitchen, where hel
proceeded to brush the dust from tile pun of the lock, and finding
the lock did not move so freely as it should do, stooped down .to
remedy the defect, by loosening its screw, when by some means
his gun 'exploded, and Mrs. Clifton, who was standing in un op-
`posite direction, with her buck towards the gun, received the
whole of its contents in the calves of her legs, which were dread-
fully lacerated, anti particularly the left leg, the hones of which, a
little above the ancle joint, were shattered to pieces. Able surgi,
cal assistance was quickly procured, when an amputation of the
shattered limb, a little below the knee, was, determined upon, but
before the (wet ation could be commenced, an extreme hemorrhage
put a period to her sufferings, us she expired about four hours after
the accident.—Verdict---" Accidental Death," with a deodand of
:no on the gun.—The husband of the deceased stated that he, did
not know the gun wae loaded, although he usually kept it so in
his beds-room; for the protection of his ouster's prupprty.

A melancholy accident happened at. Sheerness Ott
Monday morning. A little boy, about five or six years of .age,
fell overboard from the Terrible, of '74 guns, lying close to the
Dock-yard wall. His father, on seeing the accident, jumped over-
board after him ; and, placing the child on his hack, was swim-
ming towards► a boat, within'. few yards of them, the toy's arms
being round his • father's neck; but by some unfortunate cireun►-
stance, the boy slid from oil' the father's back, sad his body came
round to the parent's front, the child still clinging round the
father's neck, by which position it is supposed the man could not
use his arms to support himself and child in the wav►•s, When they
went to the bottom together, the child with► his arms still etubrac.
ing the father's neck, anti never rose again. . It w•as foil an hour,
or an hour and a half, before they were grappled up, when every
exertion was ►►sand and persevered in for some time, to restore ani-
lately, an
mation, by the surgeon. anti assistant, surgeon of the dock-yard, but
unhappily to no purpose. The poor man's name was a anion, and
esteemed by every one in the ship and in the dock-yard, for his
cif mind, endowed l
