Sarah Earle, for fteating-a duck, -the Propertiof W. Matters.
Ann Bray was indided for healing a flyer watch,
from a Mrs. Cawthorne. It appeared by the evi-
dence, that the had taken the watch, and pledged
it, but afterwards informed the profecutrix where it.
was, ideated it, and gave it to her ; the prorecutrix
promifing not to profecute, if the gave back the
watch.

As the prifoner did not deny the fa& the Jury
found her guilty of fleAling, but under the value of
forty fhillings.
The RICORDER expreffed furrow that the prifoner
bad been profecuted after relinring the watch, and
the promife which had been made her. He ordered
her to be fined a (billing and difcharged.

And 13 were acquitted, among whom were
G. FeHam and T. Shipssaa, who were indiBed, the
former for Realing, and the latter for receiving, (even
boxes of candles, and other goods, the property of
the late J. Dawkins. Feltham was the apprentice
of Mr. Dawkins, and fo much in his confidence, that
he had left him a legacy of 4001. in his will, which
was reduced to 401. after the difcovery of the 101 l of
thefe goods. Shipman, the other prifoner, was bro-
ther to a female fervant of Mr. Dawkins, and had
accefs to the premifes by calling to vifit ltis filler.—
He there formed an intimacy with Feltham ; and
Blake, another fervant of Mr. Dawkins, milling the
goods, acquainted the family ; and a fearch•warrant
being obtained, they were found at Shipman's lodg-
ings.
Mr. CURWOOD, in Rating the cafe for the protects-
Lion, acknowledged the with• of the profecutors was
only to punifh Shipman, whom they conceived the
moft guilty; but that, in order to convia him as the
receiver, it was neceffary to prove that the good. had
been nolen.

The chief evidence againft Feltham was a confla-
ble, who heard him fay, in convet flog with the other
prifoner at Marlborough-flreet, •, Shipman, it is you
that have brought me to this fituation ;" to which
the other replied, " I had no intereft in it ; it was
all for your intereft."
Mr. Fielder, the profecutot's attorney, (wore that
the prifoner Feitham confeffed to him that he took
the goods; but did not appear pet feElly lure whether
any promife had been made to him to tr.dtice him to
fuch a confelllon.

The RECORDS& obferved, that it did not bear
againft Shipman as a receiver. The goods being found
in his poireffion was, prima facie, evidence of his hav-
ing ftolen them, but it was not evidence of any thing
elk. As to confeffions deduced from cnnverfations
overheard, he gave very little credit to them, efpeci-
ally when coming from Police Officers. Adding or
fuppreffing a fingle word, might alter the whole
fenfe ; and when they only heard part of a conver-
ration, they might not have beard what was molt
material. What Feltham Paid to the attorney could
be no evidence againft him. If the pro(ecutors had
indiCted Shipman for ftealing the goods, their being
found in his poffeffion would have made it necelfary
for him to prove bow he came by them.—Not

The ♦iolent norm of wind and rain, which hap-
pened about three o'clock yenerday morning, has
been produeive of much injury on the Thames. A
large lighter and a barge lying off Milibank broke
from their moorings, and drifting towards the Ferry,
Rove feveral wherries. A (mall pleafure boat alio
got adrift and went on chore below Batterfea, where
Ihe now lies full of water. Several accidents occurred
to the Rage coaches coming to town, the pelting
norm being fa boiflerous, that the coachmen could
not drive their horfes. A pauper, who had taken
filcher in a dilapidated fhed near the cow-yard, at
Iflington, being compelled to run out, the roof fal.
ling in, fell into a pit made for brewers' grains,
where he remained, dreadfully hi uifed, till the watch,
being alarmed, went to his affiflance. He now lies
dangeroufly ill.
