ton, for embezzlement of the property of Messrs. Warner and Co.
Latham was indicted as the principal and Singleton as the re-
ceiver ; the former was found Guilty, and the Jury were dis-
charged, being unable to agree in their verdict regarding Single-
ton; his case will therefore stand over till next SeisiOne:
'Ann Garraway was indiCied for stealing, on the 14th October,
a cotton gown, the property of Salting Allen:
Wm. Matthews, a boy of 15, stated, that the prosecutor was
his master, and lived at No. 15, Prince's-street, Barbican. On
the above day he heard the door of an up-stairs room shut, and
going up observed the prisoner, who asked him for a straw-bon-
net-maker, wheat she said lived there ; witness knowing no such
person, and seeing the prisoner with a bundle, would not allow
her to go. He called assistance, and found the gown upon her.
The, prosecutor's wife identified the gown, but strongly re-
commended her to mercy, as she was in an advanced state of
pregnancy.
The Jury found her Guilty, but recommended her to mercy,
on the same account.

age of fourteen; he had returned to this country, procured a re-
spectable situation, and immediately turned common plunderer,
robbing his master and every one else.
George Saunders was indicted for embezzling money which
he had received for his employer, amounting to Ils.
The prosecutor, a tavern-keeper in Sherbourne-lane, stated in
answer to the Judge, that he had not employed the prisoner to
receive money for him. The Learned Sergeant observed, that
there was an end of the case; as to prove the fact of embezzlement,
the Act required, that the master should have employed his ser-
vant to receive the money embezzled.
The prisoner was therefore discharged, after a severe lecture
from the Judge.

to you, my Lord—l wish you'd hang me first."
