OLD B .n.. Er.

On Saturday twenty prifoners were tried, ten of
wh• m were conviCted of felonies, viz.
T. Brace, for Healing a quantity of hemp, the pro-
perty of I. Dunn ; J. F. Meckendotif, for Healing
a faw, the property of J. Day; Sarah Adkins, (or
Healing three pieces of calico, the property of T.
Powdich ; Julian Cretchley, for Healing a pair of
flvets, the property of J. Jonas ; S Brown for (Leal-
ing three triads of wheat.the propertyof A. Coombe;
J. Carter, for Healing 91b. of thread, the property of
J. Gregory.
Edward Taylor, a boy of thirteen years of age, was
indiCted for Healing a filver watch, value 31. the pro-
perty of Sewell, a watchmaker, in Iflington Read.—
On the 3d of Oftober, a boy, followed by the pito-
ner, came into his (hop. enquiring for an article,
which it was evident he did not keep, and while he
good naturedly was informing the boy where he
might get it, the prifoner contrived to get at a watch
that was hangi: t, beyond him, and made of with it.
Havinf immediately dircovered, however, the fraud,
he pur ued him up White Lion-lireet, calling ont-1
it flop thief," till he attrafted the notice of a paten-
ger, who was better qualified for the purfuit. From
the evidence of thi, petfon it appeared that the 'in-
toner, when thinking hinitelf hard put to it, flopped,
and dropped the watch, without abating his career.
The watch was picked up, and given to the prfecu.
tor, while in the mean time this witnefs continued
the chace, till -he overtook, and feized the prifoner
near Spa-fieldi. On their return, the prifoner (hewed
the witnefs where he had dropped the watch, which
was exactly at the place where the witnefs had feen
him ftoop. 7"
The profetutor found no difficulty in identifying
the properly,' as it was the only watch he had at
that time hilts &op, and as he had cleaned it the day
before.

The priconer adMitted his going i the fhop, bnt
d:nied having any knowledge of the Ivatch, and dif-
claimed all connetlinn with any other boy.
. .

The Jury having examined the watch, brought in
a •erd'iB•nf fleabag in a' dwelling houfe, but below
f.brty &Wings.

Two young men, rolls and Whitley, were indicted
for defrauding Mr. John(lone of two and a half dozen
of fliers y wine.
The profecutor is a wine and brandy merchant in
to City, who alfo carries on bullock in the welt end
of the town. The prifoner Coils was his managing
clerk, who mutated the birtinefs in Rathbone-place,
anti Whitley his porter in the City, who occafionally
tarried a fupply of wine from the one place to the
other. The two prifoners, with one Goddard, who
had been formerly in the employ of Mr. Johnilone,
had laid .a fcheme for embezzling the wine, as it was
conveyed from the City to the houfe in Rathbone-
place.
Cons attempted to maintain in his defence, that he
had been impored on by a Rory that Whitley told
his mailer, ar.d had on the fame day •written an ac-
count of it to Mr. Johntione. He admitted that he
was on the evening mentioned at Goddard's apart-
tment, and had drank three or four &Allis of wine,
but immediately after had left them, and did not
then know to whom the wine belonged.
Whitley pretended to fay that Goddard had taken
the wine from him and carried it to his lodgings, be-
caufe lie had no permit.
Lord Eut.sesottoooa obfcrved, that the Jury
would be aware how little credit was in general to
be given.tv the evidence of an accomplice, as Gott,
lard certainly was in this in fiance. Goddard's evi.
deuce, hek..sier, on this occafion, fo far as related to
the leadittMcomilances,received confirmation from
Whitley's confeffion, and thus had a credit refleded
back on it. The defence made by Colls, even fup.
poling his (tory to be true, mull make him appear in
a very flifpicious light. Where was Goddard, a mar
o'it of employ, to get wine to treat his acquaintances?
It was the lime fort of wine too that had been mif-
fiug, and on the very fame day. It ought at kali to
have ci eated fume fulpicion in regard to Whitley's
Rory, Coils, as a faithful fervant, ought to
have communicated to his employer.
The Jury found a verdict againti both of Guilty.
Whitley aged 27, Coils 16.
Mornii, who was tried on Wednefday left, for
returning horn tranfportation, but acquitted, and or.
dared to remain, no one being able to identify his
parlor., was again brought into Court, identified, and
remanded to compleat the remainder of the term of
his farmer fentence.
One w 4/ convicted of a mifdemeanor, viz.
jausew, for obtaining from Elizabeth Evans,
by talk pretences, a cruet frame, and five glide cruets,
the goods of E. Evans. And

Nine were 'twitted, among whom were
CGrll,pier Vickers, indicted for (leafing three large
and fix mall bafkets, the property of a Mr. Wilmot,
gardener, in the vicinity of Twickenham.
The profecutor, is appeared, was in the habit of
fupplying Covent Garden with fruit and other vege-
tables, and the prifoner was the fun of a Mt s. Vie-
kers, belonging alto to Twickenham, empllyed in
the fame trade.
The prifoner Rated in his defence, that his father
died about a year and a half ago i that it was not
impoffible the brakes might have come into his fa-
ther'; polfellion in a legal way, and that he knew no-
thing about the manner in which they had become
the property of his mother.—Not Guilty.
Mary Taylor and Mary Punton were indiated, the
former for receiving, and the latter for haling pieces
of bed lace remnants of tick, and brown Holland,
&c. the property of Mr. Spencer, dealer in bed fur-
niture, Holborn.
Sir A. THOMPSON was of opinion that the prifn.
nor Taylor could not be implkated, becaufe, though
at firfl the had claimed the property as hers in a ge-
neral way, the had immediately afterwards fufficient-
ly explained it to the officer, and could not, there-
fore, be conlidered as the receiver. S.veral witneffes
appeared to the charaCter of both--Not Guilty.
jume Coleman, for being at large before the expi-
ration of the term for which he was tranfported.—
The necelfary fads being proved, the prifoner Rated
in his defence, that he received his hlajeity's pardon,
after being fentenced to feven year: tranfpurtation,
on condition of his entering into either the army or
navy. He had preferred the formes, and had entitled
into the loth regiment. lie had, however, two days
leave of abfence, was induced to exceed his furlough,
and the regiment failed without him.
The Judge ordered the Jury to find the prifoner
Not Guilty, direaling, at the fame time, that he
fhould remain under his old fentence, till notice was
fent to the regiment from whence he had deferted.—
VerdiCi as defired.

Yellen:lay ten prifoners were tiled, five of whom
were convided of felonies, viz.
Mary *Donald, for dealing fix books, and two
packs of card, the proper of jof. Gaibonetti; Ann
Waters, for tickling three quarters of a yard of lace,
a bottle of rum, &c. the property of James Ry
ley ; Rob. Cable, for receiving Cenral pieces of
printed cotton, Sm. the property of W. Smith,
knowing the lame to have been Rolen ; Mary Smith,
for dealing a cloak, the property of Ann Smith ;
and five were acquitted.
Thomas Afiy. who was acquitted on an indidment
for forgery during the prefent Salons, and James
Brown, were again indided for forging, uttering,
and publifhing a Bill of Exchange, of 251. purport-
ing to have been accepted by John Gillman, with
the intent to defraud John Dixon. The Bill in quef-
lion was left at the houfe of Dixon, in Swallow-ftrect,
by Brown, who received 11. 75. on its value. It was
Coon difeovered to be deka. The Clerk of Alby,
who called himfelf a merchant, was the only one
called to prove the acceptance of " Gillman," to be
the handwriting of Aiby. This, kowever, was not
fatisfadorily proved, and the priToners were ac-
quitted.
The 'teener:lee obferved, that the whole appeared
to be a foul fwindling tranfadion.
James Softie was indided for dealing a tol. Note
from a letter entru fled to his care. The prifoner was
fervant to Mr. Tucker, attorney at law, Staple's Inn,
and during his mailer's abfence he received the let-
ter, containing the note in quellion. On the return
of Mr. Tucker he taw the letter which contained the
note in the prifoner's detk, which led to the detec-
tion. On being qtiellioned refpeding it, the prifoner
Paid, he had lent a podman part of it ; but he could
not account for the Tell, it never having appeared.
The RECORDER obferved, that a fervent lending
his mailer's money unknown to him was guilty of
felony.—Guilty.
John Leonard in;te and John Riehardfon, notorious
houfe-breakers, were indifted under Lord ELLENRO-
ROUGH'S Mt, for cutting William Randal, a watch-
man, on the 27th September. The prifoners were
feen getting out of the area of the boufe of Mr. Wil-
lan, in Lamb's Conduit-greet, by the Profecutor, who
laid hold of White. He war knocked down by the
prifoner with a crow bar, which cut his head dread-
fully, and by which he and Richardfon made a mo-
mentary cfcape, but the Profecutor followed and
caufed them to be fecured.
Baron THOMPSON obferved that the offence did not
immediately come under Lord ELLENIOROUGH'S
AR, but under another prior to that, which was ap-
plicable to perfons found in areas, which made the
prifoners liable to fourteen years tranfportation, as
being incorrigible rogues and vagabonds. They wete
accordingly detained on another indidment.
The &ffions being now ended, fentence of death

lue tel. out of a lighter on the navigable river Thames, the pro-
perty of Matthias Prbne Lucas, John Lucas, and Jobe Barber.
