_ yam" Com Fort, 11/;7uuss Ogle, and W4ber Deg-
:an, for high*ay robbery, in felonioufly affaulting
John Wood, on the 7th of Feb:tar!, putting him,
in fear, and violently taking from his perfon a me-
tal watch and chain, together with fome money,
his property.
The circumflances of this cafe, as they appeared
in evidence, and chiefly on the ftatement of the
profecutor, were briefly tb the following effed :
On the evening of the 7th inft..between fix and
(even, Mr. Wood, who was returning from town
to his refidence, at South-hill Green, was flopped
dear Notting-hill. He was then riding on the foot
I path : he perceived a man coming towards him,
on which he turned his horfe into the road. The
perfon, who appeared to be the prifoner Condon,
then came up to hint, laid hold of the bridle, and
immediately after the two other prifoners came to
the (pot. He aficed them what they wanted ?
Condon aid; it was money he wanted—he was dif-
treffed, and money he would have. The profecu-
tor rather coolly defired the piftol to be removed,
and they fhould have what little he had about him.
He then delivered his money. The prifoner Con-
don then put his hand acrofs the horfe's neck,
felt about the profecutor's fob, and perceiving he
had a watch, made two or three tug: at the chain,
which at length broke, and Condon put the part
which came away into his pocket. One of the
other prifoners then bid him pull out the watch,
and while he was doing fo, the prifoner Duggan
faid," Shoot-I D—n•you, why don't you (hoot P'
..--the watch was given to Condon ; at that mo-
ment the profecutor dropt oneof hisgloves, which
he requefled might be taken up for him, which
one of the party accordingly did, and returned it
to him. At that infant, a fourth perfon came up,
and faid to the others, " Well, have you done it I"
bey anfwered, a Yes ;" and the whole party im-
mediately made off. The evening was clear' and
the moon, which (hone upon the prifoners' faces,
.enabled Mr. Wood to fce them diflindly : he had
not the finalleft doubt cf their identity. On the
following Thurfday he Caw them at Bow-ilreet,
and immediately recognized them all. They were
apprehended the fame evening by a party of the
How-greet patroles, near Bay's-water. They were
together, and in Duggan's pocket was found an
unloaded plllol. Two of the officers were brought
forward as evidence, and a trifling difference ap-
peared in their tcflimony from that of the prole-
cutoes ; this, however, regarded the colour of the
coats worn by one or two of the prifoners, and
which, in the Opinion of the Coutt, tinder all the
circumitances of the cafe, was not material. The
Voce of broken watch chain was alto found ift
ggan's poffeffion ; this, on being ptdduted, was
pofitively fworn to by Mr. Wood.
On the part of the prifoncrs, a number of indi-
viduals appeared to their charaders, and what was
rather fingular, each of thofe witneffes (poke to
the charaders of all the prifoners. This circum-
fiance was alto noticed by the Learned Judge,
(Baron Norman); who tried the cafe, who ob-
ferved, that to far, it indicated a conflation be-
tween the prifoners. His Lordatip alto noticed,
as a mark of the coolnefs and refolutlon of thsgro-
fecutor, the cireumeance of his having aflcWfor
his glove, after the robbery had been conhnitted,
and which certainly enabled him to give a coned
account of the tranfadion.

The jury pronounced them all Guilty.--Death.
The Jury, however, recommended the prifoners
to mercy, on the ground that they had ufed no
perfonal violence, and on account of the puHol
found in the* peffelEon not being loaded.
Eight were convidted of felony, viz.
Sarai goner, for flealing a petticoat and other
articles, the property of Butler William Mountain.
Mary Moore a 44 Mary Ward, for Healing a
purfe, containing eight thillings, the property of
Robert Hagles.
Richard Meredat, for 'Reeling a fleet and other
articles, the property of Francis Wright.
7aae Grua, for Reeling two blankets and other
articles, the propertrof William Bradley.
Yobs yeieph, alias George Brows, for Realing a
flyer watch and other articles, the property of
John White.
Geo. Kent, and jobs &Mt, for Reuling a cloth
coat and other articles, the property of Richard
Wild.

And nine were acquitted, viz.
Blafs Chiflofiy, jafilh Ratalial, Yale Rudd:6
yaw Mite, Char& Jr*, Efizabethr yobs
Marisby, John Aim, and
V benar.Dalg, who was indided for (feeling a hirer
watch from ------, having previoufly aft:inked
him, 'and put him in bodily fear. Of the affault
and violencemecetTary to conftitute a highway rob-
bery, there was no evidence whatever, and there-
fore it will be fufficient to Rate the fubitance of
the proof of the fimple felony of Reeling the watch.
The profecutor was going on the 16th of lag ,
month to fee .fome friends, and in paling along
Red Lion-Court, Whitechapel, he was met by the
prifoner and two others, who pr!ffed on him, and
one of them took the opportunity of pulling his
watch from his pocket. The night was very dark,
and be could not diftinguilh which of them took
the watch. He immediately feized the prifoner,
but one of the others ftriking him a blow on the
head, he !et go his hold, andrthe prifoner ran off;
and tried to make his efcape. He, however, 'pnr-
filed him, and; with the affiftence of fome watch-
men, had. him (mired. He was fearched';
watch was found on him, which, however, was
not that of the profecuter, but one purchafed for
him by his father. •
Rich was the fuhßance of the profecutor's Rate-
' meat.
On the other hand, for the prifoner, was called
a woman, who Paid the faw hint in Red Lion-coint
in the evening, 'when the robbery Itagfaid to have
been committed, and at that Mae so ohe aecom
