OLD BAILEr.

Yesterday Rawl Green and John Panicle were in-
dicted for breaking into the (Melling house Of James
Rodgers, and attempting to steal some handkerchiefs,
on the 21st of last month.

The prosecutor is a linen-draper, in Piccadilly, the
glass of whose shop window the prisoners were de-
tected in cutting, for the above-mentioned purpose, on
the morning of the aforesaid day, at seven o'clock, by
the vigilance of Niculs and another Bow•street officer.
Guilty—Death.
George Bratling was indicted fisr stealing, on the
17th of January, 4201b5. weight of sap, the property
of Messrs. Racine and Co.

It appeared, from the evidence of Mr. James Ra-
cine, senior, that he and his pat titers carry on the bu-
siness of dyers, at Bethnal-green. The prisoner had
been in their service for about 17 years. Considerable
quantities of soap having been missed from the pre-
mises, from time to time, and some circumstances
having given rise to a suspicion .of the prisoner's ho-
may, Mr. Racine di;ected another of his servants' to
watch h:ni : he was, in consequence, stopped as he
was leaving work, on the evening of the 17th of it-
nuary last ; and the property was found in a bag
which he had on his shoulder.

The facts being clearly substantiated, the prisoner
was. foand Guilty.
The Iti:couokat" I really wonder how business
is carried on in this great town : one half of the per,
sons we try here are servants, fine robbing their gm-
ployers. lam not surprised that many tradesmen ,
become bankrupts—for, when they come to take stock,
they very frequently discover a great deficiency in
their property."
The following were convicted of felony :—J. Day
and C. Wes:brook, for stealing a basket and a quan-
tity of asparagus, the property of J. Islay ; J. Ford,
for stealing two gallons of lamp oil, and a tin can, the
property of J. Smethurgt ; J. Cook, for stealing 11
fowls and three ducks, the property of C. Elliott ;
T. Gibbons, for stealing a piece of brass, the pro-
perty of Messrs. Coulson ; J. Moreau, for stealing a
.pair of sheets and a pillow-case, the property of P.
Marshall, in a lodging-room ; J. Wilson, for stealing
two silver pepper-castors, the property of J. Robinson ;
T. Happy and W. Dias, fur stealing a great coat, the
property.of It. P. Higham ; E. Evans, for stealing a
quantity of Irish linen, the property of Messrs. Peele,
Turner, and Scott ; and H. J. Westbrooke, for steal-
ing the carcase of a sheep, the property of 'l'. C. Smith.
11/iliiata Bailey was indicted for stealing a pair of
• silver sugar tongs, and a silver teaspoon, the property
of Richard Jahn Millington.
1. Mr. Millington is the proprietor of a.coffee-room
in this metropolis, into which the prisoner walked on
the 2.3 d of January last, and ordered tea, which was
provided for Wm. He had but just arrived from the
country, where, as it would appear, he had imbibed
notions as to the principles upon which the London
coffee-rooms are managed directly tho converse of
the reality ; he imagined, that instead (1 having to
pay for his beverage, he was entitled to remuneration
for having been at the trouble of swallowing it, and in
consequence of this erroneous conception, as soon as
he had done so, pocketed the part of the appurtenan-
ces of the tea-board aboVe-mentioned, and decamped.
The waiter, however, who entertained theories widely
different front his, followed him wititgreat diligence,
and having been successful in the pursuit, delivered
him into t* hands of a liow-street officer.—Guilty of
L rceny.

From a variance in the laws of Parliament in the
two countries, a Member of any Cetinty, City, or
Borough, in Ireland, being a bankrupt, ipso facto for-
feits his scat ; while the Representative of an English
County, City, or Borough, under the same circum-
stances, is indecorously sanctioned in retaining his.
Mr. MADOCKip M.P. the spirited and extensive en-
closer of land from the sea, at Try Madock, in the
county of Carnarvon, is about to try a question of
great importance to the landed interest, viz. Whether
land so enclosed is liable to the payment of tythe ?
By some of the first legal authorities he is supported
in his own opinion, " That such land, time imme-
morial, having had no mark of boundary at high
water, must of necessity have been extra-pakochial,
and consequently tythe free."
Saturday sennight, seeetal persons in the neigh-
hourhood of Horsham felt a tremulous agitation of
the air or earth, or both, which they could not at first
account for ; but, after the lapse of a .few hours, it
was found to have been occasioned by the blowing
up of a powder-mill, at Ewell ; by which accident
two workmen lost their lives. Horsham is about 90
miles distant from the scut on which the powder mill
stood.
Monday se'nnighti a distressing scene occurred at
Happisburgh, in Norfolk. A north-country vessel
had driven ashore in the gale which prevailed during
that day and the preceding evening, and was lying
just beyond the breakers. Five brave fellows of the
above place went ow in a boat, through a most tre-
mendous serf, to assist the crew in their endeavours
to get the vessel off, she being light. After having
clearcd the breakers, and, as they vainly hoped, sur-
mounted all their difficulties, whilst under the bow
of the vessel, a sea, heavier than they had before ex-
perienced, struck the boat, and in an instant turned
her bottom upwards. The spectators on the beach
viewed with painful s:rlieitude the fate of the poor
'sufferers. After watching fcr a quarter of an hour
the progress of every wave, not a man could be seen
afloat. I'he boat, which had been driven by the tide.
by this time approached the shote ne..r enough Mt
the persons standing there in to seize ho!d of her
while they were employed in dragg.ng her out of tEe
reach of the breakers, a sea struck her with ,arell vio-
lence as to bilge in one of her sides, from whence
crept, uninjured, the five men whose fate they were
deploring. They ascribed their truly providential
escape to the suddenness with which the boat was
capsized, by which meant not only themselves were
overwhelmed by her, but a quantity of air was in-
cluded ; and by holding on the seats, they were en t-
bled to keep their heads above water, and by sa
doing respiration continued, and their byes were
preserved.

•k. Bist-kora was intrieted.for stealing a quantity of
lace* the property of Mary Cunvin. 7he property
was found in the ptisoner's posses ion ; but it was not
.proved that he had stolen it. He was, therefore ac-
quitted ; but ordered to he detained for receiving the
property, knowing it to have been stolen.
charlatenorlie was indicted for stealing a looking-
glass, and other articles, the property of John Baily.`
',Ms looking-glass had been stolen from Nit.. Baily's
house in :Meech List, and was pawned in the June
following, by the pi isoner, at the shop of Mr. Haden-
borough, with whom she had been accustomed to
deal. Here it was discovered by the prosecutor, and
the prisoner was in consequence apprehended. When
called upon for her defence, she said, that the glass
had been bought by ber husband. Several witnesses,
.who bad known her a bug time, gave her an excellent
chamfer.

Judge BAILEY* in charging the Jury, said, that the
fact of the person who was said to have sold the
glass to the husband of the prisoner not being brought,
torward, though an ttufavourable circumstance, eras,
nevertheless, in Isis mind, counterbalanced by her
having yledi.Ted it with a person to whom she was
known, and in her own name. By the long interval
between the theli and the finding the article, and by
the circumstance of no other part of the stolen pro-
perty being found in her possession, he was of opinion,
therefore, that they would acquit the prisoner, which
they accordingly did. ,
The following were also acquitted, viz.—P. Wat-
•son, Sarah Bowyer, Elizabeth Horton, M. Duffey,
Catherine Duffey, G. Claridge, R. Thacker, and L.
.Levy, who was ordered to remain.
