OLD 114ILET.
Oh Saturday fdtirteen prisoners were tried, two
*whom were capitally' convicted, viz.
Donald Rainton, for stealing seven 11. hank notes,
,fie property of John Brockinshiar, privily from his
'person • and
J. dest, fot a burglary in the house of Mr. Han-
:hint an attorney in Oraittery-Ittne, and stealing four
table spoons, three table cloths, tee. the property of
Jt Hanson and W. Clapham ; and
W. Rolsertson, for receiving the same, knowing them
to hare been stolen.
ft appeared, that West had been a servant to Mr.
Hanson, and of covse was well acquainted with the
house in which Hanson dwelt. Clapham was
the husband of Mr. Hanson's cook, and had permis-
sion to sleep there with his wife. On the night of the
7th of June, West got into the area of the house,
where he had wrenched a pin from one of the win-
dows, which gave him access to the kitchen. The
hack area door was then opened, and Clapham went
out by the street door at five o'clock in the morning,
in which he 'was followed some time after by West.
Mrs. Clapham, on coming down, observed the print
of a man's foot on the window, inside, where the pri-
soner entered ; and, on a farther investigation, she
dscovered that the articles in the indictment, belong-
ing to Mr. Hanson and her husband, had disappear-1
ed. As it was not likely to find out the thief, Mr.
Hanson chd not institute any inquiry ; when, about
ten or twelve days after, as the junior Mr. Hanson
WAS walking through Lincoln's-inn, West came up
to him, and begged his pardon for having lately rob-
bed his father's house. He described how he had
done it; and added, that he had, in getting in, torn
off a part of his coat, and this Mr. Hanson had kept.
He added, that he remained in the kitchen till Clap-
ham went out by the street door, and that he then
followed his example. Mr. Hanson, junior, took
West over to his father's house, where he gave him
in custody to Blundell, the constable of the Liberty
of the Rolls, who took him to the.watch house. He
confessed that the articles stolen were in Robertson's
house, No. 22, Fisher-street, Red Lion-square. Han-
son and Blundell went there, and asked Robertson's
wife, whether she had recently seen West, Mr. Han-
son's late servant ? fihe denied that she had ; and on
their pressing her on the subject of the stolen goods,
Robertson came in, and hearing what was going on,
said it was as well to confess ; with that he drew
from under the bed the bundle.

The articles were produced, and sworn to by Mr
Hanson and Mrs. Clapham.
Several witnesses gave West a good character,
having known him for a number of years. Robertson,
in his defence, said lie was ignorant of the stolen
property having been brought to his house, it having
been given to his wife.
The Jury found West guilty, and acquitted Robert-
son, who was discharged, after a suitable reprimand
from Mr. Justice LE BLANC to abstain from such
practices in future.

Fight were convicted of felony, viz.
Daniel Richardson, and lames Kieff, for stealing several deals,
the property of T. Lewis.
Samuel Fearey, for stealing a silver watch, the property of
Thomas Hooptr.
Catherine Perry, for stealing three pair of'
Th sheets, and various

ntal: s till the next Admlr. lty Sessions.

the property of Elizabeth Miller; and
Isaac Leach, who v:as indicted for assaulting Neal
'Pardon, and taking from his person a 7s. piece, 2s. in
silver, and other money.•
The prosecutor stated tharhe lived in Nightingale-
lane. In the afternoon of the 15th of June he went
to several public houses in Whitechapel, and in the
evening he went into the Angel public house in the
same street. He was very much intoxicated when he
entered that house, where he sat down in a box by
himself, and soon after the prisoner came in, and sat
alongside of him. The prosecutor was very drowsy,
and soon fell asleep. At the timehe was perfectly sure
he had in one of his breeches pockets a dollar, some
silver, a 7s. piece, or an half guinea, he was uncertain
'which. He slept for some time, and on his awaking
he clapt his hand on his breeches pocket, and found
that the pocket had been cut, and its contents disap-
peared. He said, in answer to a question by the COM-
most S ERJEA nr, that notwithstanding he felt his pocket
cut, it was not in his power to stop the thief, he was
so stunned with drink. He did not think any force
had been used in robbing him. but rather imagined
the robbery to have been slyly committed. The
'prisoner, to the best of his recollection, was the per-
son who filched his money, though of that fact he was
by no means certain, as there was another man with
la smock flock in the box when he awaked. Finding
hiMself thus cheated he ran instantly to the door, and
gave an alarm to the patrole, who soon stopped the
prisoner. He was fully sensible that he truly descri-
bed the money he had lost, as he had pulled it all o tt
when he paid .tis reckoning at the Angel, as he put
the dollar back into his pocket. He could not know
'he dollar from any other, neither was there any thing
