OLD BAER? SZENIONIL
The Conway thutiaauT took bittalltpreelsely at
crical
nine o'clock . morning. __ ‘: .
Robert John Yew*. mile capitally
indicted for :ng Edward &Milbank, on the
hiOway, and taking hoes him a wit* value £B.
Ilse prosecutor stated, that on Thursday last he
was passing the end of a bye lane, tailed King's-
road, in the Kingslandrioad, where there is a toll.bar.
Just as he was passing the toll-boa, two men, whom
he bad not before seen, rushed from behind it against
him with great force, striking their elbows against
I.his breast. He staggered, and then received. a bloW
l'l'oss the breast, whial `made him reel several paces
backwards and fall, and at the same instant at which
the blow was struck he perceived his watch drawn
pow his fob. The man who took the watch dropped
it upon the ground, and the prosecutor made an
effort to crawl towards it, in order to get it, but the
man who dropped it picked it up again and ran off.
While he_ was getting up the two prisoners passed
itim. He had never seen Crawley before, but was
positive that Neumhier was with the man who escaped
when he was first attacked. The man who escaped
was the man who struck hini the blow on the breast,
and took the watch. When the witness got up the pri-
soners tan away, and he called oat "cStop thief !"
Three journeymen seal-skin manufacturers, who
were at work at the High-house, is the Kingsland-
road, hearing the cry of " Stop thief!" ran out and
saw the prosecutor getting up from the ground, and
brandishing his stick, and pointing to two men, who'
were running towards Honon. He was calling out
" Stop those thieves and rascals r They pursued the
fugitives, who ran into Ivy-lane. The foremost of
the pursuers, on turning into Ivy-lane, saw three
men running ; he seized Crawley, and the other two
took Neumhier; the third escaped. They proceeded
with the prisoners towards the Unicorn public-house,
to which Neumhier objected to go, and wished to go
to the Green Man. A straggle ensued between
Crawley and those who had hold of him, during'
which, those who had Neumhier in custody, being
a few yards behind, saw Crawley throw down the
watch, which was picked up by a sailor-boy, and
identified by the prosecutor. i
Mary Wood swore, that as she was walking along
the Kingsland-road, she saw the prisoners and ano-
ther man walking towards the King's-toad ; beard
one of the prisoners say, " We will have one before
an hour is over our heads."
These facts were corroborated by other witnesses.
The prisoner Neumhier said, in his defence, that
be saw the prosecutor on the ground, and went to
his assistance, and at his request ran in pursuit of
some men whom he saw running away. He was
quite innocent of the robbery.
Crawley put in .a written defence, in which he
stated, that he knew it would be useless to contend
against such evidence as had been adduced for the
prosecution; but he nevertheless protested that he
was innocent. He had always borne a good charac-
ter as an honest industrious lad, and he would throw
himself upon the merciful consideration of the Jury.
Several witnesses gave the prisoners a very good
character.
The Jury found both prisoners—Guilty, Death—
aged 15 and 17.—The prosecutor and Jury recom-
mended them to mercy, on account of their youth,
and previous good character.
1 The COUDION SERJEANT said, the recommendation
should certainly be forwarded to the proper quarter,
but the offence was a most aggravated one ; and he
would earnestly conjure them to' prepare for the'
worst that could happen.
WilAaws Edwards, aged SS, for stealing a gold snuff-
box, 21 tea-spoons, &c. in the dwelling-house of Au-
gustus Bozzi Granville, was alvaitally convicted.
Robert Coombes and Thomas , two respectable
looking men, were indicted for stealing two hundred
weight of candles, value £B, the property of James
Shotter, of Sunbury.
George James Shotter examined by Mr. Law:—
Witness is son.of the prosecutor, who is a tallow-
chandler. On the 13th of February last there were
100 dozen of candles iii the workshop locked up ;
the door was secured on the evening of the 12th ;
next morning it was found open. Several pieces of
beef, supposed to contain nes wades, were found in
the warehouse. Witness missed 20 dozen of candles

next morning.
Edward Tilley, an accomplice, was brought up in
irons from Kingston jail, and examined.—Witness
stated, that Razell came to him, and proposed his
meeting him at Coombes' house. They went along
Bushy Park towards Hampton, and on their way met
the watchman, when they greeted each other with
is good night." They proceeded on to Sunbury, and
went to the warehouse of Mr. Shotter. Razell un-
locked the door, when the two prisoners struck a
light, and put some candles in two sacks and a basket.
Razell said he had been there once before, and there
was a dog, but he had got some meat that would kill
him. On their return they went to a Gentleman's
house, which was empty, and deposited the candles in
the cellar, and then returned to Hampton. The next
night they again met, and fetched away the candles
in a cart and divided them. There were 1201bs. fit
for sale, but Razell only paid him I Is. for his share.
The witness underwent a rigid examination by Mr.
ANDREWS.— He admitted that his father was in Pet-
worth jail, one brother in Newgate, one in Horse-
monger-lame, and that he himself had been in five or
six prisons, in different parts of the kingdom, and he
could not tell how many robberies be had been
charged with. Witness was induced to impeach
through the suggestion of a Magistrate. Witness
broke out of Petworth jail, and had not been retaken ;
he also once escaped while being conveyed to Guild-
ford. He bad been about the country thieving for
three years and upwards.—The prisoners 'declined
saying anything in their defence.
The COMMON Sin.ltfiNT charged the Jury, and
observed, that the evidence of the accomplice should
be viewed with great suspicion, as a more profligate
fellow never appeared before auy Court of Justice,
who could, unmoved, recapitulate bss career of ini-
quity ; yet he was bound to state that his testimony
had been corroborated by evidence which could not
be suspected. He then read the evidence, and pointed
out the analogy between that of Tilley and the other
witnesses.—The Jury, without hesitation, found both
the prisoners Guilty.
The following were also convicted of felony :
James Norris, aged 20, for stealing a jacket, au Joseph Davis,

At the last sitting of the Jutitices at Bearstead, a
young man was fined forty shillings, and ten shil-
ling; costs, for maliciously hurling a stone at a dog,
and breaking its leg, at Harrietsham.
A DREADFUL RIOT IN WESTIIINSTER.—Mondiry
evening a most alarming, riot took place in Great
Peter-street, and St. Ann s-lane, Westminster, which
originated in a quarrel amongst the lowest class of
Irish, in a public-house called the Duke's Head, in
Peter-street. In a few minutes upwards of 200 per-
sons assembled with sticks, stones, brickbats, and mis-
siles of every description, and a general affray com-
menced: many persons were dreadfully beaten, and
the windows and shutters of the houses completely
destroyed. The police-officers of Westminster having
received information of the proceedink, headed by
ROBERT RA INSFORD, Esq. the Chief Magistrate of
Queen-square, went to the spot, and used every active
and meritorious exertion to quell the riot. On their
proceeding down St. Ann's-lane, a pistol was fired
from one of the windows, loaded with ball, and the
contents entered the groin of a man named Welch;
he fell to the ground, and was carried on a shutter
to the Westminster Hospital, where he now lies in a
dangerhus condition. The officers were attacked by
the populace, who pelted them with stones, and seve-
ral persons were very much injured. The Riot Act
was at length read, and thirty-four of the most active
lof the rioters were apprehended and lodged in Tothill-
fields prison and the neighbouring watch-house., for
the night. Many persons were cut arid beaten in a
dreadful manner. In the course of the riot several
females took a most active part in the affray, and
supplied the men with stones, and they themselves
were seen throwing stones from the windows, and
would not desist until threatened to be shot at by
the police-officers.
QuaIMIQUA as.—Yesterday morning, the streets adjacent to
this Office and the avenues leading to it were completely thronged.
About eleven o'clock, Sir Recttasti Bums, ROIMAT RATS 111011"
Req. A. Wnetr, Esq. Ind J. MANCLANDi Esq. took their seats
ass the Bench, and the persons accused with being concerned in
the riot were ordered to be brought to the Bar. David Hallo.
pa, Peter Manus, Martin Callaghan, Dennis ill'Carthy, Loftin
MIDI/staid, Thomas Wekh, Thomas Corbin, Atutin M'Masws, and
Jahn Brawn, were first brought into the Office. AU the above,
with the exception of Brenan, being identified as parties con-
cerned in the riot, were committed. and Brenan was discharged.
Danis Glynn, John Welch, John Riley, Dennis M'Carthy, and
Thomas Nwrpy, were identified, and were committed for want
of sureties. At this period of the examination a man was brought
in, charged with having threatened to destroy the officers. He
gave his name John Hughes, and the case being proved, he was
ordered to find bail. Seven others were discharged for want of
evidence, and others were held to bail. A boy named Kent
identified a man named Devaney as having fired a pistol from a
window ; and another witness deposed to Welch (the man in the
Hospital) having been wounded at the time. Devaney was ap-
prehended at No. 3, St. Ann's-lane, concealed in a cupboard.
Mary Donahoe was held to bail, charged with aiding and abetting
in supplying stones and missile.* to the rioters' which she carried
in her apron from the neighbouring streets. The prisoners that
were committed were all conveyed under a proper guard to
Tothill-fields prison.
Bow-sraiwn—Yesterday, a poor woman applied to the sitting
Alagiorate ( Mr. HALLS) for assistance to enable bee to make her
way back to Preston, in Lancashire, and in support of her claim
she told the following rather singular story :—She add another
woman, both natives of Preston, had formerly lived servants
with the late Mrs. Crouch, the celebrated singer, and when she
died she bequeathed to her fellow-servant an annuity of £lO per
annum, to be paid by Mr. Kelly, her executor. When she was
on her death-bed she also gave her a ring, desiring her if she
should ever be in distress, to present it, or cause it to be pre-
sented, to his present Majesty, and inform him that it was the
dying request of Mrs. Crouch that he would relieve her faithful
servant if ever she should require it. Within the last year Mr.
Kelly, the executor, had from some cause or other reduced the
annuity from £lO to £5. Before this the applicant and her fel-
low-se/sant had lived together at Preston, and subsisted very
comfortably upon their earnings and the annuity, but the reduc-
tion of it had distressed them very much, and it was arranged be-
tween them that the applicant should come to London and try
the effect of a personal application to Mr. Kelly, and if that
failed, she was to make the experiment recommended by their
deceased mistress with the ring. She came about a fortnight age
and waited upon Mr. Kelly, but could not prevail upon him to
raise the annuity to its former amount. She then..'cin the subject
of the ring, went to the flame Office, and related her story to
Mr. Hobhouse, the Under Secretary f State ' • be advised hero
make application at the King's Palace. She then repeated her
tale to Mr. Watson, one of the Royal Household, but he appeared
to treat it as an idlestory, and told her she could not see the King.l
Mr. HALLS told her he thought she was a very silly woman es
I
come all the way to London and lose her time and money upon
the faith of such a wild and improbable story. He would, how.
ever,' adopt the proper measures to send her home, where ho
hoped she would remain for the rest of her life.—The parish
officers of St. Paul, Covent-garden, were then sent to, and they
undertook to send her home.
MURDER OF MRS. DoNATTY.— At length a clue
has been obtained relative to this mysterious affair,
which is expected to lead to the detection of the san-
guinary ruffians who committed the barbarous deed.
By the activity of the Gentlemen who have taken so
conspicuous and praiseworthy a part in the transac-
tion, it has been discovered that there are two men in
custody id Barking jail, one of whom answers the
description of the person teen near Mrs. DoNaTry's.
house on the night of the murder ; his name is Wil-
liam Faulkner; and in addition to the other suspicious
circumstances against him, it has been discovered
that, since the commission of the murder, he has
shaved off his whiskers, which were dark and bushy,
and much resembling those worn by the suppo.ed
assassin. The offence with which he stands charged
(in conjunction with one Williams, who is not yet
accused of any participation in the murder) is break-
ing into Parrendon House, the seat of WILLIAM KER-
REAL Ass HURST, Esq. near Harlow, Essex, and steal-
ing therefrom a very large quantity of plate, &c. lie
was committed by the Bench at Epping, CHARLES
BOYD ABDI4 Esq. Chairman, and a communication
was forwarded to official persons in town, the nature
of which it would be imprudent to disclose, but if
distinctly mentioned that Faulkner had been in the
vicinity of Mrs. Donatty's house on the night of the
murder, and that he had pistols, which was confirmed
by their discovery a day or two ago. All the wit-
nesses are accordingly ordered to attend at Barking,
as soon as the present Old Bailey Sessions are over,
that they may view Fatakneri and give their opinion
as to his identity.
