sex, charging him with the wilful murder of Reuben
Main the younger, a boy about ten years' old, son of
the male prisoner, in a sand house belonging to. Mr.
Rhodes, at Kingsland, in the parish of St. John,
Hackney, on the 2d of June last. He was in another
cotint charged with wilfully and maliciously setting
tire to the said house, whereby the said boy lost his life.
The only shadow of criminality consisted in two cir-
cumstances--the one, that a female brickinaker swore
she heard the male prisoner deClare, with an oath, in
a public house, that he would burn low: the sand-
house ; and the other, that he got a match from the
publican at a late hour on,that night. But, though
the witness swore that she was ratqping over the_ icat
for upwards of ten minutes, she amid not point otit
a single sentence or idea connected with that declara.
tion • and, as to the getting of the light, the landlady
of the hour; swore, that it was not an nons.rial thing
for the prisoner or other workmen .to get. a• match
from her, In order to light their pipes when they, got
home. .
There was not a tittle of evidence against tgetVO-
, man, except that she was in the company of the man,
at the titre. Then Is to any ground of malice, it
did not appear that there was any the least quarrel
betwilk the prisoner and his master or any person em-
lo pyed in them anagethent of the business ;. and with
respect to the condiict of the man prisoner towards
his sop, it was proved, that he was so
.far from being
lihely to entertain the unnatural ideti of destroying his
o▪ wn offspring, that he was actually as fond and iudul-
gent a parent as any man in his way of life; and it was
also proved, that the woman, Waved with almost as
much kihdness towards him as if be had been her own

son.
The man was extremely agitated, and cried fre-
quently during the trial. When called upon far
his defence, he stated that he lay down according
to ,custom in his clothes upon a wad of straw, along
with the woman prisoner ; that he saw the boy lie
down before him upon another parcel of straw in an
opposite corner of the sand house. The first he knew
of the fire was the bey's wakening him, by calling
out, Father, father, the place is on fire." From the
circumstance of the boy's calling out to him, in his
confusion he ran out along with the woman, suppos-
ing at the moment that the boy must have run out
when he guvethe alarm. If he had known that the
boy remained behind, if he had a thousand lives he
would have risked them for the delivery of his son.--:
He had. no ill-will to any one, and could not tell how
the fire began.
Mr. Justice LE BLANC, in the course of a humane
charge to the Airy, observed, that it was contrary to
the usual course of human action for any man to com-
mit a great crime, without some prospect of advan-
tage to be gained, or some motive for the gratifict-
tion of revenge, or some otheebad passion ; and if
the woman, against whom he did not see that there
existed any ground for such charge, had not been a
prisoner, the Court and Jury might possibly have some
further insight into the business. According to the
evidence now before them, he did not see any rational
ground for imputin; this great crime to either of the
prisoners, in fact, with the exception of the naked and
unconnected evidence of the female brickmakery who
swore to some bad words which she says she heard
fall from the man. However, on the facts, the Jury.
would draw their own conclusion.
The Jury immediitely pronounced both the Defene
chants Not Guilty.
Stephen Aid was-capitally indicted, on Thursday,
for stealingirbrn Joseph Robertson, on the 3d iwstamt,
a watch, Scci,
The prosecutor had been walking in the fields, and
Arent into the skittle-ground belonging to the City
Alms, in the City Road, where he sat some time,.l
when the prisoner came into the ground, accompa-
nied by two girls, and they (the prisoner and the pro-
secutor)
Went into ththetise, 'and sat together suntil
nearly eleven. The prosecutor then left "the company,
and as he was on his way home to Old-street, he was •
accosted by•the prisoner and a man in the garb of a
soldier. They walked one on each side of him, and,
the prisoner suddenly made a snatch , at his watch,.
'the. chain of which he, in wrenching from the folk,
broke, and the watch fell eta the ground. The pro;,
secutor w-ag stooping to pick it op, when the prisoner
called out, 44 stop, it is mine." He instantly snatch-
ed it up, and ran off, followed by the soldier.. The
prosecutor pursued, calling 4, step thief!" and the
prisoner was stopped near Brick-lane by a watchman.'
The prosecutor, on a question from the prisoner, ad-
mitted that he had been drinking, but, however, was
quite sober at the time.
The testimonies of the watchmen established the
fact of the prisoner's having been stopped while run-
ning off ; and they also proved that the watch Was.
brought to thein by a gentleman passing, who had
picked it up from some rubbish into which it had been
thrown by the prisoner. The gentleman was in haste,
and would not declare his name.
The Constable of die night chewed 'the watch to
the prosecutor, Who recognized it. In Court, he
swore to it. In answer to a question from the'prlip-
user, whether the prosecutor was not so much in liquor
at the time, that he consented to the prisoner's enlarge-
ment, he 'positively denied it.

•
The prisoniu, to his :111111111.111.3 tO
the skittletround tit the City Arms about, five in
the afternoon. fie had two young won's/41..04th gin,
and the prosecutor wok one of them from ltitallichigh.,
he was aware he (the prisoner) bad beesk 12.1014.. e.
with her two years before.
Two witnesses appeared to the prisoner's -chi-
ter, and they described him as 'A jourrieyriann‘shiseH
maker. One of the witnesses said,- that thelltidilliio
tor left. the company about ten o'clock, after conduc-
ting himself very queerly towards his wife. ,
SirStmoN LE' BLANC recapitulated the evidence
_to
the Jury,- and said, that to ronstitute.the offence of
the prisoner a highway rpbbery,At must be provod,
that the person robbed had been put in fear of his
life, ind-that the article he had lost had been taken
from him by force ; no evidence had been adduced
to that effect, acd the charge could not amount to
more than a simple larceny.
The Jury accordingly found the, prisoner Guilty a
stealing only. •

Pot... Removing Obstructions from the Surface of the Skin.
IT is unnecessary to enumerate-the a,dvautages re-
suiting to the constitution of every person, by effectually re-
moving obstructions from the surface of the skin, and thereby
keeping free and open the innumerable passages and porch through
which nature expels alt useless or noxious humours from the vital
fluid, and which, being obstructed, arc forced back again into the
blood, and become the sources of many dangerous diseases. It is
therefore a matter of much consequence, as well to prevent hurt-
ful Iti sorders, as for the preservation, ease, comfort, and beauty
.to. persons, (however slightly affected), that they should occa-
sionally have recourse to the Abstergent Lotion ; but more etme-
dally it becomes urgetitlyrequisite when the effects of obstruction
make their Ippearance, and break out into pimples, redness, ear-
buncles, or other cutaneous-eruptions. The Abstergent Lotion
',sever ads' of success with those Who give it'a fair trial, ar.d as its
price:evidently skews that no private entolomentia sought for by
the proprietor, so also may the Public he, convinced that nothing-
but a certainty of its success could induce Dr. SOLOMON to :
