OLD BAILEY.

Yefterday two prifoners were conviaed of Fe-
lon y, viz. .

Daniel Campbell and John Baylis, were tried on
a charge of Ae.,Ung'a'cafe.box, containing various
articles of wearing apparel, the property of John
;.,oper, from on board the Windham Galt India-
man, lying at Blackwell.
Joifu Soper laid, that he was an apprentice to
the fhip's carpenter. On Wetinelday night laft,
the 14th iNtiant, he went to bed about his ufual
hour ; the bur with his cloaths was under his ham-
mock ; -it was not locked but- lathed over with a
line. He did not again fee his theft until it was
brought back by a contlablc, and then it was ex-
hiM on deck. The prilonets were cm-
Tloyed as hunpers on board the Windham.
Robert Stotts, the carpenter, faid, that the pre-
ceding witmli'was furnithed by hiin with various'
.ar tides of clothes, while the fitip was at Canton,
in China ; he had Peen him often wearing them
floc:. The priloner, Campbell, was brought on
'board about two o'clock on Thurfday morning
kit, by the people of the Cuftom-houfe boat.—
The boy's elicit was alfo brought on board. It
wits found ill a boat in which the prifuaer wits when
taken.

An Officer of the Cunom-honfe laid, that be-
tween one and two o'cloek on Tbnrfday morning,
while he was on duty in guarding the (hips, Le
heard an altercation between the 'hip-keeper and
Campbell." The Ihio-keepet defired Campbell to
keep off, otherwife he would heave a (hot into his
boat, as he fulpeeted he was about fomething
itn-
propet ; Campbell replie.l, with many oaths, that
if he heaved thot at his boat he would fire upon
him. Tke (hip-keeper then called the Cuftom-
houfe galley, upon which Campbell let his boat
go, and the drifted by the ebb tide ahead of the
(hip. The witnefs then boarded him, and found
the theft in the boat. He towed him to the lighter
alongtide of the Windham,' and got him and the
property taken on boara. The 'chat was claimed
by the carpenter's boy. The (hip-keeper Paid ano-
ther man was concerned along with Campbell.—
A fearch took place, and the other prifoner, Bay-
lis, was found concealed between decks. _ _ _

• The fentinel of the galley corroborated this tef-
timony, only adding, that when Baylis was found,
he Ilad be had, been fent on board in order to carry
a hammock afhore.

John Brown, the thip.keeper, faid, that he ob-
fervcd fome tackle hanging from the fhip, at which
he was furprifed ; he made it fait to the gangway.
Hearing a noife at the head, he went forward and
faw Campbell in a boat alongfide. Baylis was ly-
ing on the fore-chains, and while the witnefs was
interrogating Campbell upon the band's he had
there at Inch an unfeafonable hour, he flipped off
and concealed himfelf below.

Campbell, in his defence, faid, that on the pre-
ceding evening he was very much in liquor, and
had come to the water-fide in order to get on board,
as 3o tons of ballaff were to be taken out of the
(hip very early in the morning. He procured a
fkiff to convey him on board, but when it reached
the lighter, the man who was rowing jumped ir'to
the lighter and left him with the cheit in the fkiff.
The (kill immediately drifted. He denied all
knowledge refpeaing the chef[.
The other
intoxicated with Campbell; that he had
been locked out of his lodgings, but hati.no idea
of the means by which ,he had got on board.
The RRCORDER addrelfed the Jury. He remark-
ed upon the evidence, which, in his opinion, was
decifive againft the prifoners. Their defence was
very improbable. The man who was in the fkiff
with Campbell had never been found, and as to
the flatement of Baylis, it appeared wholly un-
worthy of credit.—The Jury, without hefitaeon,
found them both Guilty.

Evan:, 7. Roger:, and Sareb Davis, feverally receiv-
ed judgment of death.
