five and fix o'clock they concealed themfelves, and
in a fliort time faw the prifoner, and two other
perfons, come in and take the lead away. They
immediately took up one of them, whore name
was Sim; the third made hiaefcape.

the sad, and placed it in the lower part of the

Kokrt Parker and Jame: Lanfdale were indiaed
for robbing Cuthbert Kitchen of a 301. Bank of
England note.,
Kitchen reprefented himfelf as a Shropthire
farmer, and a perfon unacquainted with any other
except a country life. But in the courfe of his
examination, it appeared that he had lived the
greater part of his life in and about London,
where be had for feveral years kept an eating-
honfe. He Paid, that a fnort time ago, he and
his nephew, who kept a Chop in Whitcomb-ftreet,
had been at feveral public-houfes, at each of which
they had had liquor. His nephew called upon
the prifoners to decide a wager with him ; they
went to a public-houfe in the Haymark2t, tear
the Opera-houfe, where a party fat down to
whin, in which were the nephew and the two pri-
foners. Kitchen flood looking on. Having oh-
ferved that his nephew held feven trumps, and
that, out of tilde, three were honours, he laid a
wager of 401. to 201. that his nephew would win
the odd nick, knowing at the fame time, that
from the cards he held he mull win it. The mo-
ney was naked on both fides; in the mean time
his nephew's adverfaries obferving the cards he
played, defired to look at 'ne or two of the tricks
that had been already played, out of one of which
they contrived to fecrete a card. V.'lien the hand
was out, the card was miffed, and on that account
the party who flaked the 201. contended that they
had won the wager. A difpute milled, which
ended in thefe perfons (the prifoners among the
reD) Seizing upon all the money, and running
away, with rt. Shortly after, the pritoner Parker
was taken up at the Bank, while offering the 301.
'note to be changed.
Mr. COMMON SERJEANT faid, the prironer had
aged very wrong, and that he well deferved the
punifhment he had already fut Feted ; but it did nit
appear that his conduit amounted to a felony,
although he might have been indiaed for a frang.
The whole tranfaaion was nothing more than a
conteti between a fct of idle gambling fellows,
who Mould over-reach and cheat the other. Firil
of all, the profectitor was guilty of a profs fraud,
in laying a wager which be knew to a certakty
he mutt win ; and the conduit of the others was
Dill more fraudalent.—The Jury aqu:t;ed the pi i-
loners.

games Penny was inditted for' a highway rob•
berg. Margaret Paulin, alias Fitzni.turic,., %vas
the profecutrix.
Mr. Com mom SERMINT asked why file had two
names ? She faid fhe lived with a man, named
Fitzmanrice, but that Paulin, her hufband, was hill
living. The Com moa &MILANI then faid, that
the property which the prifoner w:ts charged with
having taken, was laid in the indiament as the
property of this woman, whereas it was the pro-
perty of her hulband. By his diralion, therefore,
the prifoner was acquitted.
Yellerday twenty-three partners were tried, two
of whom were capitally .conviEted, viz. Tho. Aili-
ford, for breaking into the dwellii.g linula of W.
Vaughan, in Pall-Mall, and healing a piece of ker-
fcymere and other articles; an ,1
.Pier.:ch De, a difehatged foldier, for a Itiqh-
way robbery on John Barclay, near Iflington; but
was recommended to mercy by the Jury, on the
ground of hi having ufed no violence, nor having
any offenfive weapon with him. The Common Ser-
jeant faid the recommendation humid be noticed.
A woman of the town was indktcd for highway
robbery upon a Gentleman's fervant in Panton-
fireet, and forcibly taking from him a watch. It
' appeared that the prifoner had fnatchcd the watch
out of the profecutor's fob, and the Common Ser-
jeant being of opinion that this was not that dcgree
of conftruetive fear which was needn't), to cc.atili.
tute a highway robbery, the Jury found the pri-
foner guilty of healing, but not violently, from the
perfen, nor of putting in fear.
