of a 7s. piece, and
Cooky, for stealing a cask of peppermint, the
property of J. Hall.
lithst Morgan, formerly a publican in Bridgewater-
,uare, stood indicted for picking the pocket of R.
rk, in Gracechurch-street. _ _

Captain Clark stated, that he was in Gracechurch-
street, going towards London Bridge, accompanied
v a young Lady, when the prisoner, and two others,
lostled him ; at the same time Miss Stevens, his com-
ion, received a blow on the breast from the priso-
which took off her attention ; however, he was
ight in the fact e.)f taking the pocket-book which

!d by other witnesses.
ie prisoner, in his-defence; pretended. to be info-
and called five witnesses to his character ; but
knew clothing of him for the last three or four
; but understood he gatAercd rents for his mo-
in-law.—*Guilty. • . ;
dizabeth Booth was indicted (for stealing a watch,
40s. the property of Solomon Akroyd. He
:ed, that on the '27th of March, about half past
'ye, he was going home to his house in Duke-
, St. George's Fields, when he met the prisoner
the corner of Fleet-street. She asked hint for
!y, and he gave her three half-pence ; not Elan-
d with that, she took Ws watch and gave it to a.
in waiting. The man stabbed him in the groin,
ran away. J. Bofland, the constable, proved
charge.—Guilty.
Mary Hai*, a young married woman, was inclic-
' for stealing, priva.e.y, in the dwelling house of
lel Northwood, 37 guineas, 1.1 half guineas, 67
shilling pieces, nine dollars, 113 half crowns,
tillings, 33 sixpences, and tO nne pound bank-
; ; all the monies of the said Samuel Northwood.
appeared, from the evidence ef the prosecutor
his wife, that the prisoner lodged in their house,
'ign of the Old Parr's Head, rslington ; and has.-
different periods lost large sums of money in an
.ountable manner, suspicion at length fell on the
Iner. In order to discover if their suspicions
well founded, the wife of the prosecutor, on the
ling of the 28th of March, left two marked half-
awns in her pocket by the bed side. About an hour
ierwards, she got up to examine her pockets, when
missed the marked money. However, as it was
late, the prosecutor did not take any steps that
to find out the thief, but, the next morning, he
for a constable, and went to the prisoner's room,
:h was immediately over that of the prosecutor's,
told the prisoner that having lost so much money
late, he had occasion to suspect her, and desired to
:h her pockets. The prisoner with great alacrity
tptied some trifling articles out of her pocket, and
dared she had nothing else to produce. The officer
'rig searched her pockets himself, immediately
;ht forth the identical half crowns, which had
marked and left in Mrs. Northwood's pockets
fight before. A box in the room was also searched
in which was round a large quantity of silver, a
number of guineas, seven shilling pieces and
one pound bank notes, on two of wnich the pro-1
tor had written his name.
Mason, an officer of Worship-street, proved the
lg of the marked half crowns in the prisoner's
1, and the other monies mentioned in the in-
tent.

Loan CHIEF BARON, in summing up the evi-
, observed that the capital part of this fell to the
id, as it did not appear that the prisoner stole
to money mentioned in the accusation, at one
and the crime, therefore, if the Jury were of
)n that the evidence adduced brought home the
u. stealing to the prisoner, amounted only to
larceny.
Jury found the prisoner only guilty of stealing
tali crowns.
;ma! Humphries was capitally indicted for burgla-
' entering the dwelling -house o► Esther Kinzey,
24. th or October last, with intent steal, and
ig therein two feather beds, two bc).7:ters, six
its, two pillows, and three counterpanes, the
perry of the said Esther Kin7ey.
burglary was committed by two men, one of
Michael Brady, was tried and convicted at the
:ember Sessions ; the other having eluded the
'ice of the police, had not been brought to justice.
Prisoner was- lately apprehended on suspicion of
the accomplice of Brady, and was now put upon •

appeared that Esther Kinzey is a maiden lady,
nts several houses, which she lets out in lodg-
gentlemen and families, who have not a fixed
idence in town. In the month of October Last, she
Tied a house in Southampton-row, Bloomsbury,
.h, however, at that time 'was not occupied by
•rs, and she took up her residence therein. On
•vening of the Y4th of October, about six o'clock,
ft her house, having previously locked all the
and in particular doubly locked the area gate,
pun her returning again about eight o'clock the
evening, she found the hall-door lying wide
and the area gate was also in the same state.
armed at this circumstance, she immediately
.hed the house, and found the above-motioned

•eperty had been stolen.
James Sirnmoncis stated, that on the evening
mentioned in the indictment, he observed two men,
one a tall, and the other a short man, coming out
Prosecutor's house, each carrying a large bun-
. their heads, like bedding. He followed them
some distance down King-street, leading to Hol-
, when the shorter man threw down hisload upon
ground. He pursued the other for some time, till
came to the corner of Kingsgate-street, where he
sight of him and his comp, ion.
Joseph Feeling said, he had formed a public-house
iaintance with Michael Brady, and Thomas.Hups-
about a year since. On the evening of the 24th.
October, they came into his shop while he was.

slumbering by his fire-side. He was suddenly aroused
by something thrown heavily upon the shop floor.—
Fre went out immediately and saw Brady and Hum-
phi ies ; the former having thrown a large bundle on
the floor, the latter still having a package on itis
shoulder. Brady asked witness if he would purchase
some bedding, which, however, he begged tp decline
under such suspicious circumstances. Humphries
then called a coach to the door, and having put their
bundles into it, they drove off. Witness, on looking
at the Prisoner at the bar, declared that he could not
positively swear that he was the person who came
into his shop with Brady ; if he was the man, he was
so much altered that he should pass him an hundred
times in the street without being able to recognize
him as the person who came into his shop, although
he had seen him upwards of a dozen times before that
night. The man at the bar was much shorter than the
person who came with Brady.
Matthew Matthews, the coachman, proved, that
two men employed him to drive with two bundles on
the evening of the 2WI October, to Broad-street, St.
Giles, the one a short and the other a tall man, but
he had no recollection of the prisoner at the bar.
Foy, a police officer, was next-called, but he could
not identify the prisoner at the bar. _

Mr. Jusiice•l.Awns:NcE summed up the evidence for
the Jury, %clic found the prisoner Not Guilty.
James Hari, a respectable looking man, was indict.
ed for stealing a silver spoon, the property of Mr.
Wright, of the Four Swans, Ilishopsgate-street. The
prisoner came into Mr. Wright's coffee room, and had
a glass of rani and water. The waiter had some sus-
picion of him, and watched him, seeing the spoon ly-
ing under his elbow. After some time he left the
room, and the waiter missing the spoon, followed him
and brought him back. The prisoner then took out
his pocket handkerchief, and the spoon with it, which
he threw away.
Previous to his trial, the prisoner requested 'it might
be postponed, as he had some iiiendswhom hewished
to call to speak in his behalf. The Court, however,'
refused to put. off his trial.
In his defence, he protested that he had no inten-
tion of stealing. the spoon, but that he hal taken it up
by accident with his pocket handkerchief, while he
was '‘vriting a letter. The Jury found him guilty.
Joke Presser was indicted for stealing various arti •
des in the brush and turning business, to the amount
of 10001. of Messrs. North and Frith, wholesale
brush makers, in .Gracechurch-street, with whom the
prisoner had lived as a coniideiatial servant upwards
of twenty years.
_ _

Mr. ALLEY stated the case, and expatiated upon
the lenity of the prosecutors in not indicting the pri-
soner capitally, notwithstanding the great extent of
the offence—a waggon load of their property being,
then in the Court-yard, which had been found in the
prisoner's shop.
Mr. John Windshufile deposed, that the prisoner!,
hid sold to him bed sacking, to the amount of 131.
which he said he had received from a friend in the,
country to dispose of, but witness having observed,
upon it the mark of Messrs. North and Frith, shewed
the sacking to the latter, who claimed it as the pro-'
perty of the firm.
Mr. Thomas Wells, a clerk to the prosecutors,
proved the prisoner had confessed, that the sacking,
was the property of his employers. Witness found
in the prisoner's house in St. Catherine's, other pro-
perty to a large amount belonging to the prosecutors.
The prisoner was found guilty. There were three
other counts in the indictment, charging him with,
stealing other prop:lly but they were nut gone into.)
The RECORDER ordered all the property to be re-
stored to the prosecutors. The prisoner is 53 years
of age.
Samuel Norris and Jonathan Neale were indicted for
breaking open the dove cot of William Pope, Esq. at
Hotmslow, and stealing five dozen and four pigeons.
They were found guilty- on the evidence of Anthony
Griffen, an accomplice, who turned King's evitle Ice.
It appeared that the pigeons were sold to a Mr. Jo-
nas Fox, who had a shooting match on thefullowing
day, when they were fired at.
Mirth./ Harrouri and Mark Brown were capitally
indicted for burglariouslv breaking and entering the
dwelling house of Charles Humphries, and stealing
seven pieces of Irish linen, the property of Nicholas
Humphries, on the '2Bth of February last.
Nicholas Humphries, linen-draper, Church-street,
Bethnal-green, deposed, that on Sunday, the 28th of
February, he went to his shop at ten o'clock in the
morning—did not residle in it, hut his two shopmen
slept there—he saw the linen then in the shop—about
eight o'clock'. the same evening heard -that sume
thieves were taken, and some linen found with them,
in the neighbourhoodof his shop—he went and found
six or seven pieces were gone—the shop door was
locked, and appeared iu the same way as he left it is
the morning--he had seen the linen at the Police of-
fice, and knew it to be hia property.
On his cross examination he could not swear posi-
tively that the shopmen had slept there—they had told
him they had, and he had given them bedding for the
purpose, but he never saw them in bed.
Bernard Glee, one.of the patrole, deposed, that he
was along with some other of the patrole,on the night
of the 28th of February, between seven and eight
o'clock—he saw the prisoner standing at the corner
of Church-street, by the light of a lamp—he knew
Harcourt, he had been in his custody before. As
soon as Harcourt perceived him, he attempted to
make off—witness followed him and seized him by
the collar, on which he dropped two pieces of Irish
linen—one of the patrole picked them up—Harcourt
threw himself down on his back--the witness told him
it was of no use, for he knew him—on which Har-
court made a spring,and got away from him—he pur-
sued, and, with the assistance of the rest of the patrole,
secured, lim—he heard something drop, but the night
was se dark that the witness could not see what it
was. By this time, Valentine, another of the patrole,
came up with the prisoner Brown in custody—they
brought them to a public house and searched them,
and found a key and a knife on Harcourt--on the
next morning the witness searched where the prisoner
Harcourt had dropped something, and found a skele-
ton key, which he hook to I*. Humphsies's shop.
Mason, the police officer.. was in the shop—he took
the skeleton key and tried it—it locked and unlocked
the shop door with ease.. Witness 'produced two
pieces. of linen, which Mr. Humphries identified' as
proPerty.
Valentine, a Ratrole, deposed, that when he
'saw Glierfollow Harcourt, he took Brown into ctn..

MESSRS LEIGH and Co. Surgeons, confine their

ful habits. Mr. l.rion having been engaged in this exclusive
branch for the last eleven years in this house, it is preimned that
the advantage of such experience gives the utmost success to that
assiduity with which they devote themselves to the Cure of these
Complaints.—ln all cases of recent occurrence the cure is speedy,
and pain and danger are equally avoided. In every complicated
case, and in those distressing deficiencies, which are the conse-
quences. of youthful imprudence, or the enervating indulgences of
maturity in warns climates, their mode of treatment ensures a safe

• I.I4PORTANT DIiCOVEItY.
I`HE Advantage the Public mint always derive
from regittarly educated professional men directing Aim*
exclasively their rewfies to one species of malady, was never more
clearly demonstrated than by the unexampled nieces* which has
attended the administration of their new remedy, and the extraor-
ditrary cures it has performed. Fur a long series of years, Mews.
Connie And Co. Surgeons, formerly in his Majesty's service, hare
made the Venereal Disease the particular object of their inveed
nation, and are happy in havirg discovered a medicine superiorto
mercury in the cure of that complaint; it is sufficient to observe
that the erects of this remedy are diametrically opposite to thud!
of mercury, for it completely eradicates every ve,rigedf
the virus, In its most confirnud stages, yet it does not in aikido
injure the constitution ; on the contrary, it renovates the system
in all its natural fauctioes, promotes appetite, and facilitates di-
gestion : thus instead of reducing a stating and rigorous council-
don to the frigittSul condition that mercury does, it no only pre-
. serves that constitution in its primitive state, but restores a wish
and debilitated one to ha natural strength aed vigour. Number-
less instances are on resent record of the superior efficacy of this
medicine, its inherent and specific virtues acting as a perpetual
corrective to bodily debility, whether proceeding from an excess
of conjugal or illicit pleasure, or from the more insidious, thrush
not less destructive, indulgence of incautious youth of both saes
in a certain perniciaus habit. Amidst the melancholy variety at
disorders which are the consequence of this solitary vice, there air
none more aßlicting than that distressing state of debility and de-
ficiency which prevents or embitters the matrimonial state; the
unhappy sufferer broods over his misfortune' ashamed to seek re-
lief, until he is reduced to such a state of weakness as to render
' life oppressive. To such per it must be a consoling reduc-
tion to knOw, that they may now, by a new infallible mode of
treatment, be restored to that greatest of all human blessings, a
strong, manly and vigorous constitution.

consider it but an act of justice due to the

to you the following Cure, which has reaently been performed
by them :—An acquaintance of mine, who by the breaking out
of an old Venereal Cornylaint (attended by *complication of dis-
orders arising therefrom) was reduced almost to a skeleton, and
although he had the best medical advice which could be obtained,
and tried a variety of patent medicines, nothing could be procured
which seemed to suit his case, or to do him any service; he re-
mained in a most reduced and pitiable situation far two Mrs,
unable to follow his profession, and scarcely able to walk or even
to stand on his legs; in fact no one who knew him ever opposed
it possfole for hint to recover. He was advised at last to try your
LEAKE'S PlLl.S—he did tea, adhering strictly to the directions
'given with them—he had not taken more than two boxes, before
he found an alteration for the better; this encouraged him to
proceed, and by taking a few boxes more he found his appeute
and strength gradually return, and is cons as healthy andstout as
any man I know. You are welcome, Sir, to refer any person to
