There was no Counsel for the prosecution.
J. Sutton, servant to Mt. Robinson, detailed all

ing preceding the alledged murder i beard a violent
mobbing outside of the house, the windows were
forced open and several brickbats thrown in. Saw a
pistol in the hand of his fellow-servant Ripley ; as-
sisted in loading it. The mob became so violent
that one of the soldiers (Matthews) took the pistol
from Ripley's hand, and discharged it ; there were
tevcral other shots fired at the same time. After
t:t ing, witness heard that some person was killed.
Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY.Gee ER AL. -••
He was satisfied that the soldiers did not fire until it
became 'necessary for the preservation of their lives.
Mr. Robinson was informed, while in the House
of Commons. on the night of Monday, of the mob
having broken into his house. He wrote to the
Secretary of State to require protection. limier,
stood afterwardstbat soldiers had been sent before he
wrote. Next morning he *wrote to Lord Sidmouth,
to require a permanent protection to his house. He
afterwards called upon Lord Sidmouth, and under-
stood that protection had been sent. He directed ,
his servants to bring the soldiers within the house,
and he believed he desired that they might have some
refreshment.
Three soldiers who were in Mr. Robinson's house,
sWore that their lives were in danger from the mob.
T. White stated, that when the firing took place,
there were not more than twelve persons opposite the

house.
It. Pack and T. Mitchell, the butler and under.
butler to Lord Buckinghatnshire, proved, that they
bad given shot and lent a pistol to T. Sutton, Mr.
ltobinson's footman.
W. Hone, bookseller, in Fleet-street, was present
at the occurrences. He denied that there was any
riots ; but admitted that stones were thrown, and
one immediately preceding the death of the deceased.
On his cross-examination, he admitted that lie had
published a Pamphlet, purporting to be the Report
of the Evidence before the Coroner's Inquest upon
the deceased.
In consequence of a suggestion from Lord ELLeN.
110a0V011. However, as to the possibility of the witness
grievously prejudicing himself, by,. answering any
further questions upon the subject, elk ATTORNRY-
GENERAL abstained then from pursuing the matter
further, whatever might be intended hereafter.
J. Thompson, a surgeon, proved, that the death
of the deceased bad been occasioned by a wound in
her head.
Tile evidence for the prosecution was here closed ;'
when Ripley put in a writt.n paper, in which he
stated, that he had been left to protect his master's
ropeity, the destruction of which had been at•
tempted. He denied that he could have had %uy
ice-agamst the deceased, and asserted, that any
tang he had done arose trim a CollsCloUsitesS of his
own clanger, as w. 11 as the danger If those who west
in ,he house v.-WI him, and cited various authorities,
provini; the leg %lay of any eaort to resist Op. attack
of a lawless mob upon the property of an individual.
Upon th..l part of the other three poisoners, a
osritten paper was also put in, in which it wasl
stated, that they had been called on to assist in pro.
tecting the house, and that any thing which they had
done arose out of the discharge of their duty. They
asserted, that even in firing they had done so with
the view of intimidating the mob,, and had no wish
to deprive any human being of life.
The ATICIINZY-GIMERN, said, he was ready to
call witneses for the prisoners, if the Jury thought &t.
The Jury, however, atter a al:girt-consultation, de-
clared thembelves perfectly satisfied, and acquitted
the prisoners.
W. Barba:, for killing a man in a pugilistic en-
counter in Rosemary-lane, in which the deceased was
proved to he the aggressor, and M. Levy were also
acquitted.
Edward Harland, a schoolmaster, late of Ham-
mersmith, who was recently apprehended on a charge
of forging Banksnotes, pleaded
.guilty to the capital
charge. It appears that the prisoner lived in consi-
derable credit in the neighbourhood. and was consi-1
dered a man is good circumstances until his detec-
tion. In his premises were found the copper-plates,,
the apparatus for inserting the water-marks, and, in.
deed the whole means for manufacturing Bank-notes,
and the evidence to fix his guilt was conclusive. Any
defence being thus rendered hopeless, it is believed
the prisoner pleaded guilty, in hopes, by his contri-
tion, to lay a ground for an application to the Exe-
cutive Power for mercy.
The following were convicted of felonies :—Elisa-
kt& Watson, for stealing a leather pocket-boot, value
42, froM the person of G. Way ; William Lirier, for
a like offence, from the perms of W. Greenham;
and I.4guard Holland for stealing a quanisty of ',wow,
the property of J. Hudson.
Two were convicted of tittering counterfeit nipney,
viz. A. Ades and Al. Cohen.
