T.lturfday dm Salons commented before the Loan
Maroa, and Juices Haar a and La Beane, when
fourteen prifoners were tried, two of whom were ca-
pitally convided, viz. •
J. Wolf gs% who was indifled for felonioufly of
Faulting John Grant,. on the King's highway, and
taking from his perfon a bundle, containing three
handfed and thirty-four newfpapers, the property of
Griffith Richards and Lucretia Green.
J. Grant Rated, that as he was palling along Ra-,
pertiftreet, at keen o'clock in the evening of the 30th
of January, on his way, to the Glouceller Coffee-
bogie, he received a blow on the back, which knock-
, ed, hint down; and, at the fosse inßant, the prifts-
ner thatched from him the parcel in quellion, and ran
of. Witnefs called out, flop thief, and he was de-
' tained by a perfon or the name of Chant. Witnefs
afterwards picked up the parcel on the pavement.
Benjamin Chant Rated, that he beard a cry of
go flop thief," 4ind law the prifoner running tip R.u-
-' pert-fireet. He purfued and fecured him. On his
Ilrft attempt to detain the priCuter, he law a bundle
under his arm, which the prifoner afterwards caR
away from him.
Williams, a Confiabk, heard the prifoner fay, after
he was locked. up, that if the two Saffron-hill lads bad
flood to himbhe would have cleared the way through
the mob;
A witnets of the name of Clark, a shoemaker, in
Chapel-ftreet, .Grub-ireet. was called on by the pri-
tinier, in order to invalidate the evidence of Chaut.
He Raced, that he had been feveral times at Chant's
hods, in confequenie of Chant having (aid he would
difappear at the trial, if the prifoner's friends would
give him lA. Witnefs further (aid, that he had feen
Chant on Monday night,who Rated, that the prifoner's
life was in his hands, and therefore if they intended
to courprOutife, he would on the nest day make a
gist hi the bill before the Grand Jury.
,Chaut, however, contradieted theft affertions, and
hated, that be bad been continually barraffed by the
fanner deponent, not to appear againft the prifoner.
Sir Samos La Beast, laid, that it was evident
Clark had no ocher motive, in going feveral times to
Chimes hoofer or to carry on a negotiation, but to
prevail on him to °barna the courfe of jußice, and
confequently he gave no credit to his Raternents.
The Jury, without hefitation, found the prifoner
iguilty—Death.
Afteoeil, a boy, thirteen years 'old, was ca-
pitally conviaed of a burglary in the houfe of a
Mr. Revell.
Wilma Fillet was found guilty of Reeling plate to
the amount of 30. in the dwelling houfe of J. F.
Rawlins, Bk. of Hertford-areet.
leba iffilrstaar was indieed for Reeling wearing ap-
parel to a very eonfiderable amount, the property of
Mr. Shipley, a merchant, at Horflydown.
The property in queßion was Rolen from the pro.
ftcutor's houfe, during his ablence from home, be-
tween the if! and 3d of December. The prifoner
took lodgings at the Conduit, in Conduit-ftreet, on
the 3d of December, where be crifpofed of feveral
articles of apparel, which proved to be the profeco-
tor's property. Mr. Sterling, the landlord of the
Conduit, bad beard that the property fold in his tap-
room belonged to Mr. Shipley ; and on (earthing
after the plow, he found him at a neighbouring

•
public honfe, where be was feasted. The prifoner's
lodgings in Kiag-flreet, Grofvenor-fquate, was lurch-
ed„, when tome of the property was found, as was al-
fo a quantity otduplicates, which led to the whole of
it. Mr. Shipley identified the numberlefs articles
produced ; and the Jury, without hefitation, found
the prifoner—Guilty.
Clarks Taylor, alias Wart was found guilty of
haling a quantity of plate, in the dwelling houfe of
Mr. Williams, Narrow-lane, Wapping, to the amount
of 395.
The following were 2116 convifted of felonies, viz.
W. Myles, for receiving Bolen property, value two
guineas, the property of J. Elihill, Efq. W. Edwards
tor Reeling two hirer fork!, and one deffert fpoon.
&c. the property of j. F. H. Rawlins, Efq. ; R.
Williams, for Healing four coach glaffes framed, the
property of G. Edge ; R. Higley, for Reeling three
buthels of malt, the property of N. Brickwood
and B Lawlefs, for receiving the fame.
And four were acquitted ; among whom was
Rickard Kiag, fur Healing a black gelding, the pro-
perty of John Drake.
The houfe was flolen from the profecutor's Rabies
in Norfolk, in the night of the 4th of February. It
was traced to the prifoner by the circulation of hand-
bills, and he was fccured while in the aft of ezerci-
fing him, at the Eclipfe Livery•dables, in Oxford-
firm. In defence, the prifoner Rated, that he had
purchafed the gelding at Hasnmerfmith, of Mr.
Baker, a farmer, in Gloucefter.
Yeflerday fifteen prifoners were: tried at the Old
Bailey, five of whom were capitally convitted, viz.
Mary yealinfon who was indißed for forging and
uttering a al. bank note.
Mrs. Page, wife of a pawnbroker, in Liquerpond-
ftreet, Rated, that the prifoner came to a jeweller's
Chop kept by her, feparate from that of the pawn-
broker's, on the sad of December, and perchafed
tome trifling articles, in payment for which the gave
the note in queltion. She particularly remarked it
at the time, it being indorfed with the name of Phil-
lips, and having the initials K. B. in the margin.—••
The note was obferved to be a bad one by Mr. Page,
on calling up his accounts. It was however paid
away to a Mr. Lewis, by miflake, but on the day fol-
lowing Mr. P. informed Mr. Blifs, the infpeftor of
bank notes.

Jane Beasley. niece of the lalt winters, depofed to
the idcntity of the prifoner.
Mr. Page Rated, that he received a note from the
prifoner in Oltober lall, on ber redeeming tome
pledges, which proved alto to be a bad one.
Mr. Blifs Rated, that he went to the Imre of the
prifoner, having received information of the note in
queßion having been paffed. On his entering the
room, he obferved a miniature hanging np, and it
(truck him that it was the pifture of Holt, whom he
knew to have been tried for fimilar offences. The
prifoner faid, that the was the wife of Cornelius Holt,
and that he would bring her to the gallows. She ad-
ded, that vAen Holt was tried at the Old Bailey, (he
was the perfon who fpoke to the witneffes, and got him
clear, and the Bank would cut as poor a figure with
her as they did with her hufband. Witnefs proved
the note to be forrd, and of the fame fabrication u
that received by Mr. Page in Odober.
The Jury retired for half an hour, when they
found her guilty, but recommended her to mercy.—
Death.
yobn Hodge:, Edward Mahon, and John Rambolor
were capitally incliited, for felonioufly making an
affault on Edmund Lodge, and taking from his per.
fon one Bank of England, Note, value 101. and one
value 51.
Mr. 'CUPP flared the cafe on the part of the pro.
fecutor, in the courfe of which he informed the
Juryi the prifoners were indieted for compelling
Mr. Lodge, a very refpeCtable Gentleman, to give
them two bank notes, to the amount of 151. al)edg-
ing, if he did not, that they would commence a pro.
tecution again& him for committing an unnatural
crime.

Edmund Lodge depofed, he belonged to the He-
!aid's Office, Dodoes Commons ; in the month of
May lan, about ten at night, as he was returning to
his houfe in Southampton Areet, Bloomfbury, he met
the prifoner Hodges at the corner of Ruffell-fquare .;
the prifoner accoßed himi and alked whether he
could get that way to Bedford-fquare ? he told hiss
he could, and they walked on together ; when they
Came to the cornet of Bedford-place, the prifoner
flopped, and made tome obfervation* on the beauty
of the buildings; he then jollied up againfl him,
and immediate two men raked on them, and
Ceized them bo , alledgingt hey were Bow-greet of-
ficers, and that one off the purpofes they were Ra-
tioned there for, was, to prevent fuch pratlices as
they had detedled them in. The prifoner teemed
much agitated, and Laid he was ruined and undone
for ever. After a great deal of abet, the fuppofed
officers took them away, and as they were going
along, propofed to let them off, if they would give
aol. each. The -profecutor agreed, and they pro-
ceeded towards his houfe, he not having fo much mo.
ney about him. HI raw one of the men take out the
prifoner's watch, and heard him fay he would keep
at until he would give his so!. The men waited its
the greet until he went into his houfe for the money,
but not being able to make out 291. he brought out a
301. note and gave it to them. The next day he was
told a perfon had called on him, and had left word
for him to beat the Ruffell Coffee-houfe in the even-
ins ; he accordingly went there, and law Hodges,
with another man, who Paid he was his coufin ; that
he had told him the whole bufinefs, and was convinced
they were both innocent ; bat that Hodges had been
walking about the greets the whole night, as he was
afraid to go home without the watch the men had
taken from him, which he Paid was his father's.—
After Come converfation, he (*skid, he was Cure a gen-
denten like Mr. Lodge would not refute a few pundit
to make up the ;of. which the men demanded for the
releafe of the watch. In confequence of this, he tea*
induced to give 71. On the 16th of Auguß he went
to the country, and on the 17th of November, loon
after he returned, he met Hodges in Piccadilly.—
Hodges came up to him, and diced him whether he
knew him ? immediately afterwards the twoother prifo.
ners came op, and having told a long Rory thpf Hod-
ges would be obliged to go to America, they deman-
ded no,. from him to equip him for the voyage,-.
When he anted what right he had to pay fo much
for him, they laid he was the firft who brought him
into bad pradtices, and if he did not give the money
they would take him before Mr. Townfend, at the

fame time raying they were B'w.flreet Officers. They
then got into a coach, and drove to a lodging he had
in St. Paul's Charch•yard, near his office ; he then
gave them a tol. note and a 51. note, and appointed
a day or two after to give them the remainder of
2501. In the mean time, he communicated his tit u
ation to Sir Richard Ford, who fent two officers on
the morning the prifoners had appointed to come.—
The officers waited in an adjoining room, andfecur•
ed the prifoners. Taunton and Baker; the officers,
depofed, that they heard the prifoners fay they had
got fome money, bat if he did not give more, they
would take him to Bow.llreet ; they alfo Paid none of
the prifoners were Bow-fireetofficers.
Sir RICHARD FORD proved the examinatinns of
each of them, which were figned by him ; but (aid,
that he thought fome favour was hell out to Rum-
bold, on which account his examination was not read.
• Nothing material as to this cafe appeared in their
examination ; but Mahon acknowledged he had got
a gold watch from a foreign Gentleman in Hyde
Park, by threatening to accufe him of an unnatural
crime.

Baron SUTTON charged the Tury with great ac-
curacy, who, in a fhoic time, pronoum:ed them all
Gnilty—Death.
They were all fervants out of place. Hodges
was twenty-two years of age, Rumboid !hilly, and
Mahon 17.
;jobs Roger Turner was indi&ed for forging a re-
ceipt in the name of NVilliam Waltham, purporting
to be a receipt for money received for the tale of
iotiol. of Reduced 3 per Cent. Stock, the prOperty
of the (aid William NATaltham. The indinment Li-
chided three counts. In the firft, the prifoner was'
charged with the crime of forging the receipt, with
intent to defraud the Bank of England—in the fe-
cond, with intent to defraud William Waltham, of
Malden, in Effcx—in the third, with intent to de-
fraud Jofeph Lightfoot, the apparent puxhafer of
the flock.—lt appeared, from the ilarement of Mr.'
Fielding, and the evidence afterwards adda-eil, that
the prifoner had been for leveret years Clerk to
Mcffrs. Stonan and Ry tn, Corn•faCtors, who were io
the pradlice of purchafing flock and receiving d vi-
dends for Mr. Waltham and others of their corref-
pondents. He thus had an opportunity of knowing
that Mr. Waltham was the proprietor of to,oool.
Rock in the 3 per Cents. On the 7th of Taft month,
the prifoner being in the houfe of his father-in-laiv
(a Mr. Price), Rated to a Mr. Engle, a fugar baker,
who was prefent, that his Stock-broker had failed,
and he did not know where to find him. His father
faid, that he poffeffed t6,0c01. flock ; that he wanted
to fell our fome, and alked Mr. Engle to recommend
him to a Stock-broker. In confcquence of this con-
verfatime, Mr. Engle direCled the prifoner to a Mr!
Sherrard, of Ratciffe Highway. To this perfon the
prifoner reprefented himfelf to be Wm. Waltham, of
Malden in Urea. aid told him be walled to fell out
ioool. flock. This was on the 9th of January, and
Mr. Sherrard told the prifoner he would have the
bufinefs fettled fi.r him next day. The fame day
Mr. Sherrard fold the itock to a Mr. Jedeph Lint
font, and next day went with the prifoner to the
Bank, where the commencement of a transfer was
made, and the prif,ner figned a receipt in the nfual
form, for which Mr. Sherrard Wes to give him a
cheque. It was, however. necefrai y that fome per-
fon thould appear at the Bank, to prove to the Clerks
that the prifoner was the William Waltham he re
piefimted himfelf to be, before the transfer could be
completed. 'he prifon:r Lid his former broke?, who
bought the ock for him, having failed and difap-
i
peared, he did nut know to whom he could apply
for this purple in London, and Aced Mr. Sherrard,
whether he *mild not give the Clerks the necelfary
fatisfaCtion. Mr. Sherrard replied, that he never
pledged himfelf for the identity of any perfon with
whom he was not acquainted ; and the prifoher then
bid, he mull get Mr. Engle, 4.r flume other perfon
who knew him in London, to come to the Bank
The parties therefore parted. and agreed to meet at
the 3 per Cent. It educed Office nest day at Seth
o'clock. Mr.Sherrard went to the Bank at that hour,
but did not find the prifoner, and {miring in the mean
time accidentally mes Mr. Engle, and learned from
him th it the name of the perfon he recommended
was Turner, he cominunicated•to the Clerks the fuf-
picion which this information naturally excited in his
mind. At four o'clock the prifoner called upon
Mr. Sherrard, at his own houfe, and accounted for
his not having been at the Bank, by laying that he
could not find Mr. Engle. While they were in con-
verfation, a Mr. Robinfon, who knew the prifoner
when he was a clerk to Meffrs. Stonan and Ryan,
came in, and addreffed him by his name of Turner.
After fome equivocation, the prifoner confelTed that
that was his name. Mr. Sherrard then remonfirated
with the prifoner on his condua, and obi-erred, that
he would have a large difference to pay, as Stocks
bad rifen confi lcrably fince he bargained with Mr.
Lightfoot for the tale. The prifoner laid he would
pay the diffcrence. Mr. Shen-ard, however, thought
A proper to fend_ for a con!lable, by whom the pi-
teour was taken into cullody.—A blank was left in
the receipt for the name of the clerk at the Bank
who witncffes the transfer, and his fignature -is con-
fidered as a flifficient voucher by the purchalers, who,
upon feein., it, are convinced the transfer has been
made, and pay the :et, nev ftipnlated.
Mr. A Lt.'s. and Mr. iIt•RNTY, for the-prifoner,
argued that the flock not having been al...tally 'rani:
ferred, and the prifuntr not having received the va-
lue of it in cat or titles, the ciimiral aelion was not
is point of fail, cnramittei, and that therefore the
prifnner was catitied to his acquittal.
The Conti, however, over-tiled this, and laid that
