OLD BAILEr.

Yesterday Jonge Kerdein, a native of Spain, was
capitally indicted for stealing a silver watch, the pro-
perty J. Murray, privately in his shop. Mr. Mur-
ray, a pawnbroker, in Nightingale-lane, stated, that
about one o'clock on the 9th instant, the prisoner
came to the shop and asked the prosecutor to shew
him some watches which were in the window, when
the prosecutor exhibited three. The prisoner seemed
to dislike them, and pointed to another, which the
prosecutor was taking from the window to shew him,
when he missed one of the three former. Mr. Mur-
ray jumped over the counter, laid hold of the pri-
soner, and made him sensible of the crime he had
committed. The prisoner understood what he meant,
and was anxious to get away. He was repeatedly
se ached, but nothing was found upon him, until an
officer came, when he refused to be searched with his
clothes on, and stripped himself stark naked, when
the officer desired him for decency's sake to put on his
pantaloons. In doing which the officer discovered
him concealing the watch, and by squeezing his hand,
it fell through one of the legs of his pantaloons. It
was produced, and sworn to by Mr. Murray, who
said it had his sale note upon it in his shopman's
hand-writing. A constable confirmed the evidence
with respect t the falling of the watch. The pri-
soner was found guilty.
The COMMON SisnaLaxr said, as the prisoner was
a native of Spain, it would be desirable to send him
there as soon as possible. This was communicated
to him, when he replied, that if he was sent home
with the character of a thief; he should be deemed
as bad as Bonaparte. He had been a prisoner three
years in Portsmouth, and had lately been discharged,
and had come to London in quest of a vessel to carry
him home, but he had been disappointed. At the
request of the Common Serjeant, the interpreter- en-
gaged to procure Itima passage to Spain, and sen-
tence was re'pifed till next Session.

RlOT.—Monday, a young man, who was in 'he
service of a Gentleman in Upper Spring-street, New-
Road, was pressed by a press gang, and taken from
his master's house a considerable. way down the street.
Being alarmed at t'ae sudden change of his situation,
he cried out murder, which caused an immense mob
to collect. They soon opened the coach and set the
servant at liberty ; then they attacked the gang, who
endeavoured to fly in every direction. Two of them
being closely pursued, they took refuge in the shop
of Messrs. Marshal and Laurence, butchers, in Dur-
weston-street. The mob several times threatened to
destroy the house ; but a party of the Life Guards
came and escorted the refugees to their guard-house
ix Mary-la-bonne.
GUILDIIALL.—Yesterday a Mr. Sykes of Salters-
Hall-court,
charged a Mr. Williamson with assaulting
him upon the Royal Exchange, by giving him a vio-
lent blow in the face. Mr. Williamson, in defence,
said, he found, some days since, on the 'Change, a
parcel of notes of hand ; that as soon as he found who
had lost them he sent them back ; that when he met
Mr. Sykes on the 'Change, instead of thanking him,
he called him a thief, and insinuated that he had
picked his pocket, which so enraged him that he could
not kelp striking him. the Aldermen thought they
had both been in the wrong, and desired them to make
it up, which Mr. S. refusing to do, Mr. W. was dis-
charged upon his own recognizance.
Mawstox-Hocsr. Monday, James Fear was
charged before:the LORD MAYOR, with getting pay-
ment for a banker's check for £2O, which had been
stolen from the counting house of a tradesman on
Saturday morning. Finding the check had been paid,
suspicion fell upon the prisoner, who had absconded :
but, when apprehended, £l5 of the money was found
upon him. In defence, he did not deny having changed
the check, which he said he found. The 'prisoner
was remanded for further eratninalson,

MARIA )1101:1011-8TREET.—Monday -.Toles, who
has undergone keveral private examinations at this Of.
lice, on various charges of -passing the notes of a
banking-house at Southampton, which has for some
mouths been shut up, and stopt payment ; and who kad
also been charged with forging a 21. llank.note, was
brought up for final examination. The depr,s.lolls
of the several persons who had laid charges against
the prisoner, for putting off the Southampton notes,
..were read, and the parties bound over to prosecute t
but with respect to the imputation of forgery laid
' against the prisoner, the Magistrates conceiving that
there was not sufficient evidence to ground slick a
I charge before a Jury, were pleased to forego that ac-
cusation, but ordered him to find good bail tor his ap-
pearance at the nett Middlesex Sessions, to take his
trial for the other misdemeanot:rs. The pri•:,ner, vho
has several respectable connections, immediately pro-
dticed the necessary security for his appearance at the
Sessions ; and soon after he was liberated two cilier
persons appeared to lay similar charges against him,
The Magistrates directed them to go immediately to
the Sessions note sitting at Hicks's Hall, and prefer
their indictments.

MESSRS, LEIGH and Co. SurAvons, confine the
LY.L attention to the treatment cit certain Complaints contracted
in an unguarded hour, and that Debility svticluis caused by youth-
ful habits. Mr. I,E on having t.-en engaged in this exclusive
branch for the last eleven yesrs in this house, it is presumed tbet
the advantage of such experience gives the utmost success to that
assiduity with which they devote themselves to the cure ofthtse
Complaints.—ln all cases of recent occurrence the cure hf .
and pain and danger are equally avoided. In every 'rated
case,and in those distressing deficiencies, which are the cense-
quenc,s of youthful imprudence, or the enersming indulgences of
maturity in warns climates, their mode of treatmt et ensures a safe
and permanent restoration to vigorous health. The terms are
stated on the first interview, or in answer to letters, containing a
bank note, andin every case the most inviolable secrecy is ob.
served. —No. '.:9,Arundtl-strett, near Temple Bar. • -
