James7idison, and Jos.fii Leber,., for stealing seven
bushels of oats ; the property of Messrs. Severn,
King, and others. The only circumstance which
renders this care worth noticing was, that a man,
of the name of - Maybrick, who described him- I
self as a stationer in Fetter-lane, and a witness on
the part of the prisoners, declared -that he saw u
man deliver the oats to the prisoners in Whitechapel,
about two o'clock on Saturday, 14th May. This
man prevaricated and equivocated so much, and de-
livered so inconsistent an account of himself that the
COMMON SeRJEANT was induced to cross•examine
him minutely ; and a Mr. Swan stepped forward and
positively swore that the above witness was at the
Rose Public-hoe e in the Old Bailey, from twelve un-
til four o'clock on the day the prisoners were appre-
hended ; that Maybrick had arrested a Mr. Williams;
and had him at that public-house, and that he, Mr.
Swan, bailed Williams. In consequence of this the
COMMON SERSEANT sent for the Landlord of the Rose,
and the Officer who arrested Williams, but they be-
ing both out, the Ofiicers of the Cours were desired
to order them to attend this day at nine o'clock when
the matter will be thoroughly investigated. May-
!nick was committed to Newgate, and the CONtMON
SERJRANT informed him, that should Mr. Swan's
account be corroborated, he should think it his duty,
and a duty which he owed to public justice, to direct
a prosecution to be commenced against him. Mr.
COMMON SERJEANT read the account the prisoners
themselves gave before die Magistrates, which was,
that a man put them into their cart in Goswell-street.
The witness, Maybrick, towards the latter part of his
examination, appeared considerably agitated.
Richard ilbmhams, fsr stealing, on the 9-Sth of
April, a silk Umbrella, the property of John Cal
craft, F sq. * •
It appeared from the evidence of the footman, tkat
en the day mentioned in the indictment, the prisoner
went. to Mr. Calcraft's !anise, in Saekville-street, St.
James's, and presented at the door two pieces of
music, which he said he brought for the young ladies
of the titnily from-a music-seller's in Holborn. He
was told that the family were gone to the play, but
that he might leave the music. The prisoner then
requested the boy \Om opened the door, to take the
music to the butler, and he world perhaps pay him.
The boy went down stairs to the kitchen according to
his request ; in the mean tine: the prisoner opened
the folding doors, and clamed the inner -call, took
down an embiella which hung uponn a peg, and re-
turned with it to the outer hall. The footman, how-
ever, who happened to be coming down the drawing-
room stairs, observed the prisoner's motions, follow-
ed, and asked him his business with the umbrella ?
the prisoner told him, that he had brought some mu-
sic for the young ladies, for the payment-of which he
was then waiting, and, in the mean time he had
taken the umbrella for the purpose of assisting him to
walk up and down the hall during his stay. He
found fault with the impertinence of the footman's
interrogation, and centinued to walk up and down
the hall, with the utmost sang froid. Perceiving,
however, that the footman was approaching to tale'

the umbrella front him, he let his plunder. drop, and
ran into the street. The witness pursued hint, and
cried " stop thief." Th.. prisoner taking advantage!
of this circumstance, joined also in the cry, and con
tinued his course till a chairman seized and brought
him back to Mr. Calcraft's house, from whence he
was conducted to the watch-house.
The prisoner mide a very unsatisfactory defence,
and the found him—Guilty.
Five wc,:e acquitted, viz.—
Ann King, A. Isrl'Donald, T. Cripps, T. Sherhind, isnd Hugh
Parsons.

On Tuesday afternoon a melancholy accident hap-
pened near Putney-bridge to John Cooper, Charles
Grant, and Richard Northern, the former a journey-
man, the latter apprentices to Mr. BENSLEY, printer,
Bolt-court, Fleet-Street. A party had agreed to spend
the day' up the River, but the whole declined, except
the above three ; they proceeded without a waterman,
and being unacquainted with the management of a
boat, it upset, and two of them were drowned. - The
body of Northern was found about a quarter of an
hour after the accident, and he was recovered. •
Yesterday alterhoon a very fine boy, about four
years old, was run over, and shockingly bruised by a
hackney-coach, near Temple-Bar.
Last week, as the carriage of Sir Thomas Gooch
was travelling on the road from London to Suffolk,
with four post-horses, near the 15 mile-stone, it over-
took a cart, in which were Mr. Mead, farmer, of Bac-
sildon, his wife, and a female acquaintance. The
post-lads, wishing to pass the cart, called out in a
manner that frightened Mr. Mead's horse, insomuch
that he became ungoverm,ble ; they still persevered
in following his cart, and kept up the same noise ; the
dreadful consequence was, that just as the carriage
was passing the cart, MI:. Mead's horse sprang out of
the road, threw the cart over, and precipitated' all the
passengers directly under the wheels of the carriage,
which passed over the head of Mr. Mead, and the
breast of his wife; they received so severe an injury,
that a few minutes after being removed to the Nag's
Head, Brook-street, they both expired, teat iug a 'fa-
milt' (f nine chihken to lament their ratlanchoty late,

Bow-STREL T.—We stated some time since, that
Lieutenant Kelly had been hustled by a gang o: pick-
pockets in 'Holborn, and robbed of 4501. in Bank of
England notes, besides other paper ~. Every possible
exertion has been made tii recover the property.—'
Lien Kelly offered a reward of 1001. for the re-
covery of the pocket book and the papers, without the
notes, as the papers were of the utmost importance •
to him, two of them being certificates from Lord
Nelson, of his good conduct, besides some papers from
the Trinity House, &c. &c. About eight days since
a man called upon Lieutenant Kelly, gave him the
names of the pickpockets who had robbed him of his
pocket book, and told him, that soon after the rob-
bery was committed, one el the gang of the name of
Bill Saggers, took the contents, and threw the hook
away, and he believed over the wall of the Cold bath
Fields prison ; the man gave him such a description
of the contents of his book, that he had no doubt but
he must be correct, particularly as to a paper, upon
which he had made a memorandum of the signals
(riven at the battle of Trafalgar. Lieutenant Kelly,
consequence of the circumstance, gave information
to the oilicers.

On Tuesday., Richard Limberick set off for Green-
wich Fair, expecting to find a man there who is char-
ged with felony : as he was passing through Dept-
ford he saw a constable belom.tang to that place, who
told him he was going to send for some of the ofli-
cers to see a man who w-:: just put into the watch-
house, for having rescued aaother Iron; his custody,
who had been detected in picking a Gentleman's
pocket in Greernt kb Park On Limberick seeing the
man, be identified him to be the notorious Bill tits- 1
Lars, who was charged with .having robbed Liente- !
nant Kelly of 4:50l. he in consequence applied to Mr.
Goonnyw, an active Magistrate of that neighbour-
before whom he had been charged, for permis- 1
slots to take him to Bow-street office to answer the •
charge, which the Magistrate readily agreed to.
Yesterday he underwent an evamination before Mr.
GRAI:AII, te.g,ether with anoth,:r well-known pick- j
pocket of the name of Bill Williams, apprehended bv
Limberick yesserday morning, in the neighbourhood 1
of Old-!street, beitK2: the name of one of the robbers
Lieutenant Kelly had received information of.
Lieutenant Kelly attended, confirmed the above
statement, and swore positively to Saggers being the.
man who trod upon his heel at the time he was sur-
rounded by a number of men, and lost his pocket-
! book ; he immediately discovered it, but was so con-
fused that he did not know which way they made oft.
He did not recollect the person cf the prisoner Wil-
-1 hams, who was in consequence discharged. Williams
has lately returned from transportation. Saggers was
committed fur farther examination.
