SINGLE-STICK.—The grand match of Single-stick
play which took place at Winchester on Thursday
and Friday, last week, for a purse of 50 guineas, af-
forded another treat to the amateurs of that manly
exercise, and again terminated completely in favour
of the Somerset Gamstert. On the first day, at two
o'clock, the period for playing out the tyers, the So-
merset had seven, without the Wilts, Hants, or Berks
obtaining one ! The second day (by the same period,
two o'clock) secured to them the odds of sto 2 of
Wilts, and their opponents, despairing of all hopes of
success, resigned the contest. The Somerset lads, of
course, divided both days prizes. There were only
seven of these gamesters to contend with the above-
mentioned three counties, and they again met them
without padding. A numerous and most respectable
concourse attended, and perfect good will and har-
mony prevailed.

OLD BAILEit.

Yesterday Pattici Cane was capita* ifidiiied for '
stealing a gold watch, chain, and seals, of the value
of thirty pounds, and upwards, the property of Co.
lonel Edward Blake, of'the County of Galway, in
Ireland.

I

Colonel Blake deposed, that he resided at the I
house of George Newton, No. 35, St. James's-place, i
St. James's-square ; that, on the 15th of June, he ,
Went nut in company with Mrs. Blake ; he had ob-
served Mrs. Blake's watch hanging at the chirisney-1
piece immediately before he went out, and, upon his
return, missed it ; between the hours.of eight and
nine next morning he was called up, and the w.ytch,
chain and seals, were delivered into his hands by A
person named Matthew Weldon, who had formerly
lived with him in the capacity of a servant, in Ireland.
John Fitzgerald, the servant of the last witness,
said, that he met the prisoner as he came from cha-
pel, and believing him to be distressed, he invited
him to call at his master's lodgings, promising to give
him something to eat. The prisoner in consequence
of this invitation, called shortly after Colonel Blake i
went out, and witness took him up into the drawing-!-1
room, desiring him to wait there while he went to get
him some meat. On his return with the meat the
prisoner expressed great anxiety to go away, alledging
that he had to go to Whitechapel, and was in a hurry.
Witness then went with him to a neighbouring public
house, and treated him to a pot of porter, and re-
turned home, where his master and mistress shortly
after arrived, and in a few minutes called him to know
what was become of his mistress's watch, when, after
some hesitation, he confessed having taken the priso-
ner up stairs, and said he was the only person he could
suspect of having taken it. He also said, the only
knowledge he had of the prisoner, was, having seen
him about a month berme in crthpany with a man
named Weldon, who had formerly been a servant
with Col. Blake.
Matthew Weldon deposed, that he had formerly
lived with Colonel Blake—he now lived at No. 14,
Wigmore-street—had known the prisoner to be a
servant out of place. The prisoner called upon him
between the hours of eleven and twelve of the day
upon which the watch had been stolen—he was well
acquainted with the prisoner.. Colonel Blake called ;
At his house on the night of the 15th, but he was out,
and, upon hearing it, he determined to go to Colonel
Blake's lodgings, which he accordingly did, and saw
him at nine o'clock. Upon hearing the circumstances,
he requested that the Colonel would equip him with
a coloured' coat, acid common hat, (he having livery
on at the time) and said, that he would instantly go
in quest of the re isoner ; being industrious in his in-
quiries, he received information of him that night.
He went next morning, at eight o'clock, to Church-
street, St. Giles's, where having applied at the house
of a Mr. Connor; he was told that a man, named
Cane, whose appearance corresponded with his de-
scription of him, lodged above stairs : upon his going
up stairs, the prisoner was in bed. Witness told him
he wished to have some conversation with him, and
ilesired that he would immediately come down stairs;
thit the prisoner consented to do ; and while he was
dressing himsilf, witness left the house, for the pur-
)lOse of procuring a constable to assist him in bringing
'the priso. er :o a Magistrate's Office ; he soon after
returned, attended by Cullen, the patrole ; but the
prisoner had, in the mean time, gone from the house.
In about five minutes he returned to the house, where
witness and Cullen were waiting ; they desired him
to follow th:m to the Black Horse. The prisoner

three bundles of ostrich feathers, value RIO, the pro-
perty of Samuti Butler, in his dwelling house.
Martha Na,gle . was indicted for stealing from the
dwelling house of Mary Pamplin, a box, containing.,
one £3O, one £lO, two £2, and 27 £1 bank notes,
19 crown pieces, five guineas, one half-guinea, and
other monies, the property of the said Mary Pamplin.
Mrs. Pamplin deposed, that she keeps the Angel
and Trumpet public house, at Stepney-green, and
that the prisoner was her servant. She gave her
warning, and on the 17th of October she quitted her
house without her knowledge ; when, suspecting all
was not right, she sent one of her lodgers, named
George Grooby, after her, who brought her back,
[.with the box, &c. in her bundle.
George Grooby deposed, that he overtook the pri.

loner in Mile-end, but she would not come back until
he got an officer. At the house of the officer she
threw down her bundle, and the box was seen. When
she took up the clothes again, the witness recognized
the box to be the property of Mr. Pamplin, Mrs. P.'s
late husband. He made her take up the whole (she
at the same time saying the box was her own) and
brought her back to her mistress.
R. Bramley, an officer, corroborated the last wit•
ness's evidence.
The prisoner, in her defence, said, that when she
was going away she laid her clothes on the table in
her mistress's room, and she supposed that she drew
the box into her apron along with her clothes—Guilty
—Death.
Thomas Taverner was capitally indicted for stealing
an iron axletree, value 50s. the property of John Lane,
from his dwelling house.—Guilty of stealing to the
value of 355.
Elizabeth Johnson was capitally indicted for stealing
a silver watch, value e 2, from the dwelling house of
John Cokely. •
The prosecutor deposed, that he lives in White-
chapel ; and that on the evening of the '23d ult. the
prisoner came to his house to light a candle. He had
one lighted, but by some accident it went out, in en.
deavouring to light the other. Next morning he
missed his watch, which he had hung the night be.
fore at the head of his bed.
Henry Wickers, a pawnbroker, in Cannon.street-
road, produced the watch, which he swore the priso-

nei pawned with lint foi 24s ,--iduilty of stealing' to
the value of 245.
The following were convicted of fekny :—Ch tries
Walker, for stealing a watch, the property of J.
nan, from his person ; J. Rogers, for stealing a p ece
of jean, the property of Elitabeth Caldicott
Withers, for stealing a barrow, and three ddzen of
pots, the property of R. Wat.duck ; and G. Clark,
for stealing a watch with two gold cases, the property
of W. Broad.

Andrew Bracken and John William., were capitally
indicted for burglarinitsly breaking and entering the
dwelling-house of Mr. Wilk?s, of Chancery-lane,
printer, and stealing therein eight reams of fine royal
paper, on the night of the 6th of October last.
It may he recollected, that we have already given
in the Police Report a statement of the principal facts
relative to a hackney coach being seen in a suspicious
situation loitering about some of the streets about
Soho, and having been at length taken, with paper
which was supposed to be stolen in it, in Berwick-
street, near Wardour-street. There was a coachman
With it, who was taken into custody at the time but
afterwards effected his escape. John Williams, one of
the prisoners at the bar, was afterwards apprehended
on suspicion that he was the man who drove the
coach. The watchman and others who witnessed the
transaction, believed him to be the same ; he was
very like the man both in countenance and stature,
and his coat was exactly of the desciiption of that
Which was worn by the man who made his escape
after the coach was stopped. The other prisoner
(Bracken) was warehouseman to Mr. Wilkes, and
from the circumstance of his having the care of the
paper, coupled with that of his not being at his lodg-
ings on the night of the robbery until a very unsea-
sonable hour, it was suspected that he was very likely
to be in some manner connected with the guilty re-
moval of the property from the place of which he had
the care. That prisoner, however, proved most sa-
tisfactorily, that he had spent the whole cf the night
at the Plough, the Three Tuns, and other places
about Smithfield,. as long as company was permitted
to stay in the houses, within the limits of that district
in which St. Bartholomew's Fair is held, and that he
had afterwards gone in the same company that he had
spent the night with, to some other places until about
five in the morning. The coachman's defence
amounted to this, that whilst he went to drink in a
public-house, some one had stolen his coach, and
that he had no knowledge whatever of the crime im-
puted to him.
Lord ELLENBOROUGII, after taking a comprehensive
view of all the circumstances of the case, recom-
mended to the Jury to acquit Bracken, as there was
no proof of his having any connection with the guilty
possession of the property, neither did it appear that
he could have been present at the time of the first
commission of the felony, nor during any part of the
subsequent transaction. As to the coachman, notwith-
standing his own assertion, the evidence was much
stronger ; and if the Jury should be of opinion, that
all those who saw the person who drove the coach'
could not be mistaken as to his identity, they must
certainly find him guilty. If, however, they should
think, that either from the darkness of the night, the
confusion they were in, or any other circumstance,
the witnesses could be all of them mistaken, they
would then give him the benefit of such a favourable
opinion, and pronounce him Not Guilty ; but for his
own part he really thotight the evidence very strong
against him.
The Jury withdrew for the space of three quarters
of an hour, and returning pronounced both the pri-
soners Not Guilty.
Wednesday, the Grand Jury found a true Bill
against Sarah and W. Marltorongh, for starving and
ill-teating the child of the latter, as formerly stated,
in the examination at Marlborough-street.
