OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Sergeant AR A BIN. )

RETURNING FROM TRANSPORTATION.

Wm. Buckley, alias Wnz. Penny, aged 21,
stood capitally indicted for returning from trans-
portation, and being at large in this kingdom.
At the October Sessions, 1820, a person
named Wm. Penny was tried for felony, convict-
ed, and sentenced to be transported for life. The
prisoner, Win. Buckley, was now alleged to be
the same person, which he denied.

Charles Read, officer• belonging to Union-hall,
apprehended Penny, and was an important wit-
ness on that occasion ; he now swore positively
to Buckley being the same person ; he knew him
perfectly well, and had not the slightest doubt of
his identity.

The prisoner denied the charge, and called
several witnesses, who, however, had not known
him in England for a longer period than three
months ; during that time they gave him a good
character.

Mr. Sergeant ARABIN did not see how the
Jury could hesitate to find the prisoner guilty.
Verdict—Guilty.

George Nelson, aged 19, was capitally in-
dicted for entering the dwelling house of Ste-
phen Symonds, in the parish of St. Leonard,
Shoreditch, on the Bth of Aug. last, and stealing
therein three coats, value 51. one pair of hoots,
value 11., shirts, spurs, and various other articles.
Mary Marshall was servant to the prosecutor
at the time of the robbery. He lived in Devon-
shire-street. At one o'clock in the day, on the
Bth of August, witness heard a'noise up stairs
which occasioned her to go to ascertain what it
was. She there saw the prisoner dressed in her
master's boots, great coat, and various other ar-
ticles. She said, "you rascal, what are you
doing with my master's clothes on." He et.-
teinpted to run off; she took hold of liim ; the
coat came off, and he got down stairs and out.—
Witness ran out afterwards, cried "stop thief,"
and he was soon apprehended. She did not
lose sight of him till he was taken into custody.
Witness supposed the prisoner got in by the
back door. The boots belonging to the prose-
cutor were taken off the prisoner at the watch-
house.

Win. Sargood assisted to take the prisoner
,o custody.
Thd prosecutor identified the property.
Verdict—Guilty.
_ _

The prosecutor recommended: him to mercy,
on account of having been in distress.

MURDER.

tally indicted, upon the Coroner's Inquest, for

was bound over to prosecute.

Elizabeth Turner lived in James-court, James-
street, St. Luke's.—On Sunday morning between
6 and 7 o'clock, the 29th July, was sitting:
in
her own room, and was called over by the pri-
soner, to her apartment, which was in the same
court. Prisoner told witness that Elizabeth

Davis Was spending her money and drinking in
the same court at No. 11. The prisoner lived
at No. 9, up one pair of stairs. Elizabeth Davis
was treating the people_ in No. 11, and spending
her own money. Witness could not say that
Davis was not drunk. Prisoner said if Davis
came there she would break her neck or throw
her out of the window. The prisoner was not
sober., The prisoner and deceased had lodged
together in the same apartment for four or five
nights. They had not had any words at all.
Soon after this witness was sitting at her own
door, and saw Davis come out of the house
opposite ; thought it was No. 5. Witness
persuaded her to go up stairs ; she went, and as
soon as she got to the top of the stairs she fell
down again. Witness immediately ran across
the road and picked her up ; tried to get her up
stairs into the prisoner's room ; a person living
down stairs came out, and assisted to take her
up stairs and lay her on the bed. Davis never
spoke after the fall. Witness did not see how
far deceased had got up stairs before she fell down.
When witness took deceased up stairs, found the
prisoner and a man who had been there for a
night and a day. There was only one bed in
the room. Prisoner and deceased had slept to-
gether. When witness went up stairs, saw the
pr.isoner walking up and down the room, and
saying " she would chuck her down again."---
Witness did not know that deceased was dead
at the time. Did not send for any medical man.
Thought she was dead drunk, and therefore did
not speak to her, nor examine what was the mat-
ter with her. Witness stayed there for. about an
hour afterwards ; then examined the deceased
and -found she was dead, though not cold.
Witness then sent for Mr. Smith immediately,
who came.. Prisoner went away while Mr-
