OLD BAILEY.

Thursday, Eleaorr Murphy and John King were put
to the bar upon an indictment, charging them with
burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-
! house of John Askew, in the parish ot.St. Pancras, in
the day time, on the 4th of July, Anne Dugmore
being therein, and stealing thereeut one diamond neck-
lace, value £l'2o, four gold rings, value X,k, one gold
neck-chain, one cloak, value RI, five guineas, a lei
note, and two R 2 notes.
Mr. K. e IPP having stated the circumstances pf the
case, which, from the result, we do not feel ourselves
warranted to state.
Mr. Justice 'GnOSE observe J, that it was impossi- '
We that any felonious intent could be imputed to the
prisoners.
Mr. KNAPP said he was most willing to acquiesce
in any suggestion which the Court might think pro-
per to make.
Mr. GURNEY, Counsel for the prisoners, here
observed, that he was in a condition to prove, that
the present prosecution was the result of a most
foul conspiracy formed between seven persons, one
of whom he had then in Court, to state the whole
facts. He also observed, that he was able to prove
that the two prisoners had no knowledge of each other,
and that Mr. King, especially, had not been near the
house of the prosecutor on.the day specified in the
indictment.
Mr. KNAPP having declined proceeding further
with the case,
Mr. Gotussv applied for a copy of the indictment,
observing, that the case should most certainly under-
go a future investigation in another Court. •
Mr. Justice GnOSE said he did not feel himself au-
thorised, not'having heard the case, to comply with
this request. He was, however, ready to bear the
witnesses oreboth sides, if it wag thought proper to
go on with the case.
Mr. KNAPP agein declined proceeding, and re-
markeJ, that the facts stated by his Learned Friend
were emirely new to him ; he had only received his
briefs on the preceding evening.
Mr. ARALVN, the other Counsel for the prosecu-
tion, agreed in the observations made by Mr. Knapp.
Mr. GURNEY said, under these circumstances, he
could only enter his protest against the abominable
conspiracy by which his clients had been placed at
the bar. By the direction of the Learned JUDGE,
the prisoners were then Acquitted.
Several Noblemen and their Ladies were in Court,
and one of their carriages took Mr. l'etNe frost. the
Old Bailey to his house. The Court was exceedingly
crowded, and every one congratulated Mr. KING;
several-Ladies of rank came up to him and saluted
him in open Court.
Yesterday R. Raymond was indicted for picking the
packet of T. H. Harvey, in Cow-I me. Carlisle, a
constable, saw the prisoner put his hand in Mr. Har-
vey's pocket, and partly get the handkerchief out,
and a companion finished the busiaes, and ran olf ;
but the prisoner was apprehended.—• Guilty.
The fallowing were also convicted of felony :
Goddard, for stealing four beech quarterings ; Mary
Rider, fur stealing a rekvlttr rot ; Eliz. King, for
tearing a pair of sheets ; M. Basher, for embezzling

bank-netes. •
P. Brown, a respectable tradesman, was indicted
for receiving a quantity of books, !mats and pictures,
value 4'50, knowing such to have been stolen, the
prnperty of Mr. Ackerman. The principal witness
was -- Sutherland, a servant of the prosecutor,
who stole the property, and sold it to Brown, very
consideorbiy below its valor. The testimony of this
eeitnees eves not sufficiently corroborated, and, from
the general gond character of the prisoner, he was
acquitted, the Jury having retired two hours.
