felonies, among whom was :
J. leach, a lad of t 8 years of age, for breaking into
the houfe of W. Frodfltam. and Reeling a gold watch,
value 15 guineas, his property. The profecutor Rated
, that he went nut about four o'clock in the afternoon
of the 6th of February. and returned at fie, when be
that op his (hop. He did not then abler ve that any
Property had been taken from the window. but hay-
• ing oceafroo afterwards to go into the mop he per-
cetved that a number of watches were miffing from 1
the rail on which the,y %Irwin, hhng t and on examin-
ing the window he found a bole fufficiently large to
admit an arm. Seventeen watches were (loin. He
imnardiately gave inFemittion at Bow.keet.
Crocker, jun. the officer, who had received infor-
mation of the robbery, was fitting at a public-houfe
window, in Long Acre. on the syth of February,
when be obferved the prifoner in company with ano-
ther youth pals by, both of whom he apprehended,
and concluded to Bow-flrect. Whillt on their way,
a perfon &tamed Piing accompanied them, and wit.
nets faw the prifoner put his had towards Pring's
pocket. After the prifoner was taken to Carpmeal's
bowie, in Bow-fireet. Pring charged him with having
put a watch into his pocket.
Piing fisted himfelf to be a tench-trimmer, rending

fl

irriderieufireet. Cu/joky prompted him to mom=
pang Crocker and the partners to Bow•fireet. He
law the prifoner put his band towards his pocket, but,
net having any thing to lofe, he felt no apprehenfion.
After they were taken to Carpmeal's he was about to
retorp, when oo putting his hand into his pocket he,
to his great furprize, found a watch ; on which he
returned. and charged the priftmer with putting it
there. This the prifoner dented, and declared with
a dreadful oath that he had never before fet eyes on
blseir-He delivwed the watch to Crocker, which
ems produced. and (worn to by the profecutor.
• The Judge remarleatibat the eviA4ce againft the
prifoner celled principally with Croeter ; and the

r The peofecutor hated, that sable return home from
aldeeting-bniefe in Grub-Vett, on the evening of the
elfy aided, a map molted him very politely in Moor-
fields, and they fell interconverfation together refpec-
ting the weather, it being at that time very ilippery.
Thelfranger laid hold of the prates:uses arm as he
walked along, begging pardon for the liberty, but it
would prevent either of them from falling. The
prifoner, while this converfation was taking place,
came np and Aruck the profeeetor a violent blow on
the left tide of the head, and the fame was repeated
67 the danger who had intruded bimfelf into et:la-
udation,. by his affeited politenefs. Others came
up. and they appeared all to be of one gang,
Witnefs received another blow [tom the ptifoner,
which knocked off his bat, and kicked it away to his
companions. He silo drew a knife, which he held
to the profecutor's head, and (wore moll vehetflently
. that he would deprive him of life. Witnefs remained
quiet until be fufpeCteet the prifoner and his compa-
nions were about to take his life, when he called out
murder 1 and two gentlemen came to his affiftanse,
but he was only enabled to fecnre the prifoner.—
Witnefs Paid, that he had no witneffes to corroborate
his evidence, for the watchman had refuted to attend
the trial, not having been bound over at the Police-
office where the prifoner was examined ; and the two
gentlemen who shifted him were (hut out of the
watch-houfe when the prifoner was conveyed thi-
ther ; fo that be was silo deprived of the benefit of
their fervices.
Several perlons of refpeaability were called, who
gave the prifoner a moll excellent character ; and
there being no corroboration of the procreator's tel.-
timony, the jury delivered a verdiB of acquittal.
• On Friday the following prifoners were conviaed of
fe)onies,vis. W. Thompfon, for healing atilbs. of nails,
the property of his Majeft y; J.W.Daniels, for healing
quantity of hirer cuttings • and thirty•two dollars,
the property of W. Eaton; J. Phillips, for (leafing
solhs. of beef, the property of J. Pitt; and four were
acquitted.
Monday eighteen prifoners were tried, three of
on, were capitally conviaed, viz.
Lencey, for burglary in the houfe of J. Tap-
per, and healing fix pair of women's fhoet.

George Calder was capitally indiaed for feloni•
cony perfonating Archibald M'Gogan, a feaman on
'hoard the Caroline frigate, towhom prize-money was
dare. falfely alTuming his charaaer, and as fuch re-
Aciving azsl. his prize-money.
Mr. Good, navy agent, refiding in Stanhope-Greet,
..Strand, flitted that he was agent to the Caroline fri-
gate, and confequently paid the dillribntive fonts of
prize money to the crew for captures. He had a lift
of the feveral toms doe, to which the names of the
Crew were affixed, and M'Gogan bad money due to
him for feven captures, as Qiiartermafter's Mate,
amounting to 2231. which lie was entitled to in Janu-
ary lat. There was no fuch name as George Calder
in the lift of the crew. On the aoth of January the
prifoner applied to him for the prize money due to
M'Gogan, whom he perfnnated, and produced a cer-
tificate of his claim, freed with the game of Capt.
Page, of the Caroline. The certificate hated, that
prifoner (erred under Capt. Page. In the mar-
i;•ll (4 certificate were the names of the fhips cap.

tared by the Caroline. Witnefs interrogated the pi.'
foner as to his being Archibald M'Gogan, and warn.
ed him of the danger, if he was not the perfon who
was fn entitled. Fie alfo cueßioned him refpatint'
the fhip, to which he anfwercd fo corrally, trial,
witnefs paid him the money without fufpicion. Tl
prifoner figned the lift with the name of Archibald
M•Gogani
George Clarke, clerk to Mr. Good, corroborated
the fiateraentof the prifoner having received the prize
money. by a draft upon Meffrs. Hodfol and Co. and
he raw him' fign the different prize lifts. Wittier. af:
terwards taw him at a public houfe at Wapping,
where the people called him George 1 and he afked
him if he Was not M'Gogan, when he replied in the
affirmative.
Capt. Page, of the Caroline frigate, Rated that he
knew M'Gogan, who was Qoatter mance, mate on
board his frigate. He alto knew the phones-, who
was before the malt. and who being a good wri•
ter. occafionally of in the Clerk's office. His
same was George Calder; he hat been on board
the Caroline fix months prior to November, 1804,
when he. was invalided. The Caroline made fe.
.veral prizes going out, but the prifoner was not
then on board. M'Gogan was a favourite feaman,
Ind witnefs could not miftake his perfon. The cer-
tificates were produced, and Captain Page fwore
to his fignature being a forgery. Wit&fs left
M'Gogan on board the Caroline in February lag,
and, from the irregularity of the certificate, he never
lipoid have fagned it.
Mr. Johnfon, furgeon of the Caroline, quitted tbat
vetel at Madras on the 4th of °Silber lag. He re.
collated the prifoner, who entered at Madras in May
1804, and he' was invalided, and fent home in fix
months after.
J. M'Gogan, nephew to Archibald. proved that
the prifoner was not his uncle. It was proved by
Carey and Smith,officers of the Thames Police Office,
that on examining the prfoner's ellen they found a
paper, with the name of Captain Page written all
over it, as if to imitate his band.
The lea returns from the Caroline to the Navy
Office were produced. dated from China, when
M'Gogan appeared to be (ening on board the fhip.

and the prifoner. After breakfaU, the whole leanly'

been drinking out of, at the bottom of which were Pit.
tides of white *rank, as he was informed by a ht.'
gcon. He afterwards examined the coffee pot, at the'
bottom of which were particles of the fame. Witaits.
had a quantity of arfenie in his fls‘p, and he hadiii.,
formed the prifoner what it was, and that he had It
to deßroy vermin. Witawfs afterwards examined the'
arfenic, and found that tome of it had been taken.

left in his cup.
The errand boy Rated that the prifoner bad talked
to him about the poifon kept in the fhop on the San
turday, and that be asked the witnefs if it would not
kill any thing i
The Judge direfted the jury to acquit the prifoner,
as there was not fulficient proof for their confident-
tion. There had been no diffentions in the houfe,

coffee as well as the reit of the farnily,and that he was
alfo very lick and ill.—Not Guilty.
