George'Mruldison.—Theprieuer lived with nte as bar-maid;
I had several times missed money, and suspected her. I marked
four pounds worth of silver coin it the *awe way. I sent them
to the bar by another person, to vhom I gave them for that pur-
pose. I' missed one of them on tit 13th August, and having got
a constable, searched her box, whre I found the marked coin.
Cross-examined by Mr: Anotanus for the prisoner—l did not
suspect any other person. I had nissed tour of the shillings be-
fore. 1 suspected my own wife, went to the prisoner's box
nearly every day, and opened it wihout her knowledge. I did
not find any of the coin there beforethe 13th ; it was a new shil-
ling. When the money was found in her box, she said, that she
had taken it from the till because it was a pretty coin, and that
she had put another in in exchange.
A witness deposed, that Mr. Madison gave him the shilling
produced, and which be sent to the Sar for half a pint of gin.
Mr. Anoultus said, he would net call any witnesses to occupy'
the time of the Court unnecessarily, but would leave the case to
the Jury, who, without a moment's resitation, found a verdict of
—Not Guilty.
Mary Gold was charged by Mn. Cooper, of Lisson-grove,
with stealing several articles of wearing •apparel. The prisoner
had lived servant to the prosecutrix, and the latter, with consi-
derable gesticulation, made the most of her evidence, and stated
that the prisoner had, ou the 21st of August, behaved with im-
pertinence, when charged with the theft, and even had the impu-
dence to threaten witness with punishment for searching her,
which she did, and found an apron in her possession belonging to
witness.

The prisoner, in defence, stated that the prosecutrix had, on
the day in question, beaten her so violtutly, that she applied fur
and obtained a warrant for her apprehension. It was for that act
Mrs. Cooper now prosecuted her ; she lad given her the clothes
in question, and she had never behaved ill to her (Mrs. C.) in
her life.

On re-examination, Mrs. Cooper mild not deny this, but
lifted up her hands and eyes with an evasion of aston►shment at
the statement of the prisoner. The latter, however, produced
three witnesses to prove it. One of ttem gave her a six years'
character for honesty.
Verdict—Not Guilty.
The Rev. George Gould and Joke Finlay stood indicted for
having met together on the 15th of July, for the purpose of com-
mitting an unnatural crime. Finlay was placed at the bar, but
the Rev. Mr. Gould, having rendered to his bail, was permitted
to stand outside the bar. There was no Counsel fur the prosecu-
tion ; Mr. Adolphus appeared for the Rev. Mr. Gould.
Peter Grant—l am a law writer; I was coming home at a
little after ten o'clock, on the above night, from seeing Mr. Green
ascend in his balloon ; I was coming past the end of Northumber-
land-street, Strand, along with a friend named Mathew Skelton;

I saw a woman come out of Northumberland-street, and run to-
wards Temple-bar; I then saw the girl and a watchman run
hack, the watchman ran down the street, and I followed hint :
we ran down smite distance, when I heard a person say—
" Here they are ;" I do not know who it WO that
called out ; I turned round, and saw a soldier and a
gentleman standing in a corner. It was the prisoners now at the
bar. Another person who was farther down the street said, we
will go to them ; I went to them, and said, " What do you want
here?" the soldier said that the gentleman was a most particular
friend of his. The woman came up and said, " I have been
watching them some time." A person who turned out to
be Captain I3riarton, in the army, came up, and the whole
of us resolved to let the prisoners go, as we thought there was
not sufficient dependant* to be placed ou the woman. We
did so, and they separated. The gentleman crossed over
the street, and WeElt up on the other side. The woman who was
there then said that it was a great shame to let them go, as she
had watched them and she knew they were after no good. We
then resolved to take them. The watchman took the soldier and,

I billowed the gentleman who ran aertws the top of the street and
went up St. Martin's-lane; I followed him and told him he must
go with me, he answered don't know what for, I have been
dining with a friend and am going home." We went together
to St. Martin's watch-house. The gentleman said " you may
think to get money, but you will not." I told him he was mis-
taken in me. .

Cross-examined by Mr. Anotenus—The gentleman appeared
rather in liquor.
Emma Campbell saw the prisoners talk together in, the Strand
on the night in question ; sometkingexeited her suspicion, which
induced her to follow them down to Scotland-yard ; on seeing the
sentinel they returned to Nortlimulterlitt47street,stopt together in
a dark alley leading, to that street about seven minutest; she said
to her friend who accompanied her, " we have lost them."
Whether prisoners heard her or not, can't tell, hut they came out
and walked towards witness, then returned .to Scotland-yard, and
stopt at the livery stables which are there, about five or ten
minutes; Gould's bark was to the stable door, and Finlay's back
to him. When the watchman cried the hour prisoners separated,
went different ways, met again at the bottom of Parliament-street,
and walked as far as Northumberland-house; witness and her
friend followed them; prisoners their went down Northumberland-
street, and witness followed and took a watchman with her, who
on coming up to them, tapped Finlay on the shoulder, and asked
what he was doing. Prisoner said its knew the gentleman. Nit.
news insisted on charging them.
Cross-examined by Mr. AnotrOus—Was an unfortunate girl ;
when first she met Gould he was very drunk, sheaddressed him in
her way, the soldier was sober, anti spoke to the gentleman in the
street, her object in following them was to separate them.
By the Couar—She said it was shameful to see them go toge-
ther, because she thought, and suspected, they were about some-
thing wrong, seeing them so familiar together.
Eliza Bolton examined by the COURT—Accompanied last wit-
ness all along, and corroborated her testimony.
Mary Ann Fisher went down Northumberland street with the
watchman ; saw the prisoner' in a corner face to face, and the
gentleman's back was to the street.

John Wells, the watchman, went down at the, solicitation of
Emma Campbell ; saw the prisoner, Gould, standing to the
wall, and Finlay having his hand on •Gould's thigh. One of
the girls insisted on having them taken to the watchhouse; when
prisoners had been taken there, they requested to be examined in

private ; they were so accordingly.
Captain Brereton was in Northumberland-street on the occa-
sion ; Went down along with the watchman ; heard use of the
girls say—t, You beast*, you besets; " whereupon he insisted on
having them taken into custody. When he went to the watch-
house, he heard a great deal of money pass among all there.
Mr. ADOLPHUS hers interrupted witness, who replied in a very
warns manner, and said be would state all he knew of the matter,
and willingly answer Mr. Adolphus on his cross-examination;
this however the latter declined to do.
The cane fur the prosecution closed here.
Mr. Anot.ruus rose to make some observations to the Jury,
when
Tire. CHAIRMAN said, that if Counsel addressed the Jury for
the defendants he would think it his 'duty to Make observations on
the other side.
Mr. Auineutni was always willing to yield to any suggestions
from the Chair. As the case stood, he did not see that there was
occasion for any remarks frow
that there
The CHAIRMAN then addressed the Jury, and said,
was no case made out against the prisoners, if he, himself; enter-
tained the least doubt on the subject, he would go more fully into
the evidence, but, in his opinion, they could not do otherwise than

agreed in their verdict of Guilty
Mr. Am:menus observed, that the evidence be was going to
offer to the Jury was that of the universal respect entertained for
the Reverend Gentleman by all who knew him. That on the night
in querition he had been dining with friend, and receiving there
some afflicting intelligence, he had, contrary to the usual sobriety

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

WINDSOR, SEPT. 17.—This forenoon his MA-
JPSTY, with the Duke of Wellington, and his house-
hold attendants heard Divine Service at the new Chapel

ltoyal.
This forenoon her Royal. Highness,Princess Au-
gusta, attended by Lady Mary Taylor, heard Divine
Service at the Parish Church. .

On Friday afternoon the Duke of Wellington ar-
rived at the Royal Lodge, on a visit to his Majesty.
Saturday afternoon at half-past two o'clock, his
Majesty accompanied by the Duke of Wellington,
entered his pony phaeton, and left the Royal Lodge,
followed by his attendants in the double-bodied and
single phaetons. On leaving the Royal Lodge,_ his
Majesty took his favourite drive to Virginia Water,
and pointed Out the improvements there making to
the Noble Duke, after which his 'MAJESTY returned
by nearly the same route as far as Bishopsgate, and
from thence took the private drive by Frogmore Lodge,
opposite to which he entered the Home Park, and,
drove to the Castle, whore his Majesty on entering
the. Quadrangle; drove round to the grand entrance of
his suite of apartments, where, with the Noble Duke,
his MAJESTY alighted, and was 'met by Mr. Wyatt-
ville. After inspecting the progress made in his suite
of apartments since his last visit, with which his MA•
J ESTY seemed highly pleased, he left the Castle, and
returned by the new line of road fronting the Long
Walk, and through the Long Walk to the Royal
Lodge, where the following personages had arrived by
invitation :—Lord and Lady Maryborough, and Mr.
and Mrs. Freemantle, who had the honour of dining
and passing time evening with his MAJESTY, after
which they left the Royal Lodge for their respective
residences.

The appointment of Sir Charles Wetherell as At-
torney-General will prove a dis-appointment to the
waggery of certain wits of the Inner temple, who pre-
tended that the learned gentleman—in consideration of
his Oxonian connection—his liturgical zeal and know--
ledge, as evinced by a memorable speech—and his ar-
dour in defending the Ecclesiastical Establishment
against the encroachments of Popery—was immedi-
ately to take holy orders, and to be promoted to the
Bishopric of Calcutta!
