CHELMSFOIID ASSIZES, .MARCH : 15.

. .
IL 771. Cooper and If in. Draper were tried for a
grand larceny, in stealing from-the chariot of the
Rev. Joseph Jefferson, two trunks, containing a
considerable quantity of articles.-
It appeared that Mr. Jefferson left Chelmsford
between seven and eight o'clock in the evening of.
the 22d of January last, intending to go to London.
The property above-mentioned was contained in two
trunks, strapped behind the -carriage.; the servant,
his:Sharpe, following his Master on horseback, at
a shoit distance behind. Halt-way between,Chelms7
ford and logatestone, the servant met a tall man go-
ing towards the-former place, with a trunk on his
shoulder, winch he remarked at the time, re- ,
seinbled very much one of his master's trunks. He
did not, hoWever, entertain any suspicion that his
master had been robbed, but on the a'rrival of the
carriage at ingatestone, he missed bOth the trunks _
from behind the chariot, and found that the straps
which held them had been coat across. This occur-.
recce he immediately con.monicated to his master,
and mentioned also the vireum9ance- of his having
met a man on the road with a trunk on hi', shoul-
der.. Mr. Jefferson immediately set a diligent inquiry
on foot, and after a considerable degree of difficulty
traced the robbery to the 'tiro pfisuners,wlio were pri-
vate soldiers, and stationed in the New Barracks at
Cbeltnsford,- in' whose rooms some part of the pro-
perty was found, and the remainder euncedled tu
ditch. "

• The further iderrtity of the robbery with the pri-
soners was ascertained :row the evidence Of a young
woman named Jdne Evans, who cohabited with
~Draper, and she proved that both "t;re 'prisoners
came to • he but in the barracks where she lived,
with a trunk, containing a quantify .of • shirts, and
other wearing apparel, which afterwards 'moved to
be the property .of the prosecutor..
The prisoners strenuously denied the charge, but
were both fend guilty.
John Houghton; a boy under fourteen, was capi7
tally indicted fur stealing in the dWelling-house of
Mr: Chinnery 301. in Bank notes, the property of
John Bennett.

It appeared that the prisoner was a tap-boy; and
lived in the service of Mr. Chinnery, at Abridge,
in whose service also the prosecutor lived as post-
lad. The prisoner slept in the.same bed with ano-
ther lad, (against whoM a bill of indictment had
also been preferred for this robbery, but
,not found
by the Grand" Jury) in the same room whet e thepro-
secutor slept. In consequence of the prisoner's
leaving the service of his master abruptly, the pro-
secutor_was induced- to search' hii trunk, which he
found broken open, and all -his money gone. He
applied to a Constable, who went in search of the
prisoner, and traced him to his mother's' house, and
oncharging him with the robbery, he confessed the
'fad, but declared he had taken the money at the
instigation of his other fellow-servant. Verdi&—
Curity—Degth.
illeshach Reed, a private in the King's Dragoons,
was convicted. of feloniously stopping a man, named
Easty Ford, on the King's highway, and presenting
a pistol to his head, sk ith intent to rob him. The
prisoner was taken into custody, about an hour after
'the robbery, at his barracks, near RornfOrd ' • but in
consequence of his aCtive exertions during his con-
finernenc in subduing a riot and disturbance in the
gaol, the .learned Judge mitigated his- punishment
from sevep years tiauspoi tition to one year's con-
finement in the House of CorreClion.

Wednesday se'nnight a fire broke out at Mrs. Co.
rner's, at Godney, near Glastonbury, which con-
stated -the dwelling-house, barn, and outhouses, the
greatest part of tthe household furniture, about thrpe
ton of cheese, one bullock, six weaned calves, 'and
a small quantity of hay and corn. The property .was
not insured ; and Mrs. Corner Was at a distance
from home, attending the funeral of her brother.

GENERAL OR*DE-ItS.

The Commander of the Forces (tot being,yet in

cers commanding divisions and brigades, intended
to have deferred adverting in public orders to the
high sense he entertains of the eminent services ren-
dered by the Generals, the Staff, the Officers of all
ranks, the non-commissioned Officers and soldiers
of the army, now serving under his immediate corn—
mand; until the final reduelion of this important
colony; but the conduci of the Royal York. Ran-
gers, under the command of Major Henderson,
effected Li" the presence of nrigactier-General
Wale, commanding tt.e reserve, of which corps
this regiment constitutes the principal part, has
been of a nature so brilliant. and so deci-
sive in its efle6ts, that the Commander of the forces

feels it his
,duty
.to_ return t;i4 thanks ,in this pub-
lic manner to. Brigadier-General Wale, to Major
'Henderson, arfd to the officers and .men of ' the
Royal •York Rangers, for their 'distinguished va-
lour, in forcing the enemy frotn their t ntrencliments
and fastnesses in the woods and ruJuntain4, on the
evening of- the 3d instant, turniig the left of
their' position, seizing and maintaining the heights
which cenimandeci-it ;'and the General is not. less ,
sensible of the merits and diScipline of iftis young
corps, in having the next
\morning,' at day-break;
atter being deprived of the talents
,and experience
of the Brigadier-General and of. Major }lender:ion,
their commanding officer, both of whop were car-.
ried off the field wounded, during the n;ght, per--
sist ed in ,completing the impoi taut objects arising:

Stich a service is a precious deposit in the histoiy
of any corps, and cannot fail. being honoured with
some s final mark of the approbitiOn of their King-

trusts that the state of discipline of this regiment,
its'disiinguished merits last campaign in maintainingFort Edward, under the ordilancen.t Port Desaix, and
the exertions of Major Henderson, its commanding,
offiCer, on that and on the present occasion,
will se-
cure to this officer all that consideration and promo-
