WINTER ASSIZES.

CHELMSFORD, DEC. 6.

Jane Burns, an interesting-looking and respecta-
bly-dressed female, of only 22, was indicted for
stealing, on the 14th Sept. at Wanstead, she then
being servant to one Abel Chapman, an enormous
quantity of articles of wearing apparel, household
linen, and trinkets, enumerated in the indictment,
the property of her master and of different members
of his family.
The prisoner said nothing in her defence.
Her cousin, Mr. Turnbull, a tailor, residing in
Arundel-street, Haymarket, London, gave the pri-
soner an excellent character.

The Jury, without hesitation, found her" Guilty,"
and the learned Judge, after briefly commenting
upon the enormity of her conduct, sentenced her to
be transported for 14 years.
The case excited very considerable interest, and
not the less from the circumstance of the celebrated
Mrs. Fry, who is a particular friend of Mr. Chap-
man and his family, being present, and listening to
the evidence with the deepest attention.
Mary Dowsett was convicted, upon the clearest
evidence, of stealing ss. 6d. of the monies of her
master, Mr. Lamprell, a linen-draper at Chelmsford.
Mrs. Fry, who was still in Court,g
the learned Jude, that she could procure the pri-
sugested to
soner to be received into the Refuge for the Desti-
tute, and Mr. Jepp undertook to pay the expence
of sending her thither; and in order to meet this
arrangement, his Lordship sentenced the prisoner
to be detained in gaol till Monday next, and then
to be forwarded to London, to be provided for
cording to Mrs. Fry's humane proposal.

On Monday last an inquest was taken at
Barrow, Suffolk, on a man unknown, who was found in a
barn at some distance from the turnpike-road, on Saturday
morning. On the Tuesday previous he had been:relieved at
Saxharn, and walafterwarde seen on his way towards the
barn ; but no person having occasion to go there until
Saturday, he probably had remained without food during
the whole interval, as when found he was just able to reply
" No,"
to an inquiry whether he had had any victuals.—
Verdict, died from want and exhaustion.--Cambridge paper.
