OLD BAILEr.

Saturday ten prifoners were tried, two of whom
were convicted of manflaughter, viz.
James Brifeoe, James Denham, and jarvir
Were charged with the murder of ThomAs Pamph-
lin, by giving him a wound in the upper part of
the belly, with a knife, in Compton Itrcet, Clerk-
enwell, on the 4th of Odober laff.
Mr. CONST and Mr. KN AP P were Connfel for
the profecution ; Mr. ALLEY for two of the pri-
foners, Brifcoe and Denham, and Mr. KNowLvs
for Baker, againit whom there was very little
evidence.

John Shevenan laid, that he was fervant to a
tripeman, and knew the deceafed for about fix
months. Having met each other on the evening
of the 4th of Odober, they went to a public houfe,
and on coming away, the deceafed, though not
drank, was fomewhat the worfe for liquor. They
agreed to go home together, and he defcribed the
local fituatton of the places they had to pals
through. On coming near the Harrow, public-
houfe, in Compton-flreet, the w;tnefs was a little,
way before the deceafed, and paired two young
women, one at the door, and the other coming out
of a green !hop, who turned out to be the caufe of
this unfortunate tranfaftion : the deceafed caught
hold of one of them ; he was not clear whether he
did it by defign, or whether he miffed his ftep,
and fo fell againft her. lie heard her fay, lam
not one of that fort." The deceafed replied, I
like you the better for that." He then heard the
name of Jem called-out; on which he turned round
to the deceafed, and alked him to come along
home. He had fcarcely fpoke the words, 'when
three men furrounded the deceafed ; he fuppofed
them to conic from the Harrow public houfe.—
Brifcoe was the first who doled with Pamphlin,
Smith followed, and Denham was the next. He
faw Brifcoe make two or three blows at Pamphlin
with his 0, as he fuppofed ; but he could difcern
no more, as feveral others then came round him,
and feparated him from his friend. Denham was
one of them. After a fhort time, he was enabled
to make his efcape, and run up Compton-ftreet.—
He had not got far when the deceafed came run-
ning after him. He waited for him, when the de-
ceafed aficed him (the witnefs) how he came off?
Witnefs replied, he only felt a blow he had re-
ceived in his face. The deceafed raid, he had not
come off fo well, for he felt his fide exceedingly
fore. They then parted, and went to their refpec-
tive homes.

On his crofs-examination he denied that Brifcoe
was knocked down ; but Paid, that Pamphlin was
a Rout man, and twice as big as Bi ifcoe. The
language made ufe of to the two women, he ad-
mitted to be highly indecent and fcandalous.
A perfon who lodged in the fame room with the
deceafed, defcribed the manner of his coming hOme
on the night of the 4th of 06tober ; lying down
on the bed without pulling off his clothes, which
induced the witnefs, at firft, to conclude that he
was in liquor, After remaining in, that manner
for fame time, the candle went out, and the wit-
nefs defiring Pamphlin to undrefs himfelf and go'
to bed, he complained a good deal, and laid he
was not able. The witnefs then got another candle,
and helping him to undrefs, obferved that his fide
was very bloody, and that he had received three
wounds with Tome (harp inftrument, one on the left
fide of the belly, which appeared to be the mat
fevere, another in the right fide of the belly, and
the third in the back, juft under the blade bone, in
confequence of which he applied tor,the affiftance
of a Surgeon, and the deceafed was conveyed to
an Hofpital.
The clothes of the deceafed were then produced
and exhibited. The jacket had a large cut in the
back, near the fhoulder, and the waiftcoat and
shirt, which were much clotted with blood, had
the marks of the two wounds given on each fide of
the belly. The cuts had all the appearance of
having been made by a knife.
Wm. Smith,the witnefs on whole teitimony at the
laft examination before the Magiftrates, the prifo-
ners were ordered to Newgate, and who on that oc-
cafion was admitted to be an evidence for the crown,
Rated that he was with the prifoner on the 4th
of Odober, in the Harrow public-houfe, together
with the prifoner's wife and her filler. About half
paR nine o'clock in the evening, the girls went out
to buy apples ; be followed loon after,!and faw two
young men behaving exceeding impudent to them,
and ufing very grofs language. Mrs. Brifcoe went
into the public-houfe, and called_her hufband, who
immediately came out, and pulled from his pocket
a clafp knife, which he opened, and went up to one
of the men. Denham followed with a knife that
opened like a razor. They both cut away at the
men, and made them fly. He did not fee the men
Rrike again. After they were gone, Brifcoe re-
turned to the public-houfe, and, as he entered the
door, gave Jarvis Baker a knife ; exclaiming—
" Here, take the knife I have been ufing." He
knew the knife, for that afternoon as he and
Brifcoe were coming from Merlin's Cave, Brifcoe
Paid, he believed he had loft his knife ; but on feel-
ing his pockets he found it there, pulled it out, and
(hewed it him. Witnefs, the prifoners, and the two
girls, Raid at the Harrow till eleven. While they
were there; a good deal of converfation took place
refparting this matter, and Brifcoe in particular
talked of it more than once as a bloody row. There
did not at this time appear to be any fufpicion that
a murder was committed. He did not fee Baker
do any thing.
The knife (hewn by Brifcoe, he Paid, had a
buckhorn handle.

On being crofs-examined, he admitted, that one
of the women faid to the deceafed, a we are not
of your fort," and that he replied, he liked her the
better for it, but the language, on the whole, was
very atrocious. He came out of the houfe for a
certain occafion, before the women were addreffed
by Pamphlin, whom he did not fee coming up, as
his back was to them at that time.—He did not
himfelf interfere in the fray, and never faid to any
one, that he had himfelf (truck the deceafed, or
given him the wound. He did not fee Brifcoe
knocked down, and at the time the parties came
out of the public houfe, the two men, Pamphlin
and Sherenan, were going away, and bad got

Henry Creffwell, a keeper of the Counter pri-
fon, proved that Denham had voluntarily come
to him to furrender. Not knowing him, he refufed
at firft to admit him, but allowed him to be de-
tained, when he infifted on remaining.
Southwell faid, he was a prifoner confined in a

On being crofs-examined, he admitted that the
coaverfation took place through the bars of a grat-

the time he could fee no more of him than his face,
and the red handkerchief he wore.

Mr. Baron Tuompsow then entered upon his
charge to the_jury, which, necefrarily, was of con-
fiderable length.—AFter which the Jury retired
for about a quarter of an hour, when they pro-
nounced the following verdia—Brircoe, Guilty of
Mantlaughter ; Dei'ham, Ditto ; Baker, Not
Guilty.—Which appeared to give general fatis-
faetion to one of the rnoft crowded audiences we
have ever Peen in that Court. The trial lafted near
nine hours.

And three were acquitted.
Edward Martin was indieted for felonioufly heal-
ing, on the Bth of October, twelve ounces weight

and Geo. Seddon.

The profecutors, it appeared, are eminent up-
holßerers in Alderfoe-ftreet; the prifoner worked
in their employ. Sufpicion being entertained of
him, an invelligation took place on the evening of
the Bth of Oetober : immediately after he had left
off work, and was jua outride the premifes, he
was called back, taken into the compting-houfe
and fearched, when the property laid in the india-
ment was found in his pofTeffion.
Mr. Seddon, who attended, obferved, it was
impoffible to fwear to the identity of feathers,
*hough he had no doubt of thofe produced being
his property. None of the witneffes could fwear
that any feathers were n iffed from the premifes.
The prifoner left his defence to his Counfel.—
No witneifes appeared in his behalf.
The Jury, after a very thou conference, acquit-
ted the prifoner.

Martin was tried on a fecond indictment, for
ftealing-, on the fame day, feven knives, value gs.
and feven forks, value 3s. 6d. the propzrty of Mr.
Thomas Seddon. -

The charge, it appeared, rofe ont of the faEt,
that while the prifoner was in cuflody on the fii It
charge, apartments, raid to be his, were fearched,
and in them were found the knives and forks laid
in the indictment, which were duly identified as
the property of the profecutor.
The witnefs who fearched the apartments was
alked by the prifoner's Counfel—how he knew they
were the prifoner's lodgings ? A. His *. ife told

A. The woman Paid the was.

This not being held fufficicnt evidence by the
Court, the other witnefres were queftioned refpeet-.
ing the lodgings, not one of whom could (wear
they were the prifoner's.
The RECORDER obferved, that though in this
cafe the property may be clearly the profecutor's,
yet, as the mode of fixing the charge upon the
prifoner was by the intervention of lodgings, it
was necelTary thofe lodgings fhould be proved to
lie the prifoner's, which not being the cafe, the
charge could not be brought home.
Verdict—Not Guilty.
The RECORDER admonifhed the prifoner to be
careful in future—he had two very narrow efcapes.
The prifoner promifed he fhould never be feen

THAMES POLICE OrrlcE.—On Saturday JOHN
HARRIOTT and WILLIAM BRACCe, Efqrs. had fe-
veral cafes laid before them, but the molt (hiking
of all was, a groupe of blacks, whites, and mu-

without (hoes, or hardly any covering upon them,
and fufpetted to have committed various depre-

ple. Being queflioned how they came into that
deplorable fituation, and as to their lying about

they had been at fea, and (pent their money, and,
hiving no refuge, they went under die warmth of
the Kos for want of better habitation. Being called
