" Incoattant, in Cuerrifey Road, Now. sq.
41 Siltlt is with the deepen regret I have to ac-
quaint you, for the information of the Lords Com-
Miffioners of the Admiralty, that his Majefly's Ibip
BORIAS, in (landing towards this ifland ye(lerday
evening, about fix o'clock, run upon the Hannnis
Rocks, the wind at the time blowing very bard at
North Lift.

4. I received information of this unfortunate event
a`'out two o'clock this m, rning, and immediately
fent orders to the BRILLIANT and JAMAICA (which
had arrived from Spithead the preceding day, with.
the Ranurr gun brig) the BRITANNIA cutter, and
bne of the Government knots, to proceed off the Han-
nuis, and aff ird her every Alliance : their Lordfhips
will be very much concerned to be informed, that on
the tide's fl swing the Quip °Yeller, and became a
complete wreck, at about two o'cluck ; and I am
truly grieved to he obliged to add, that Captain
Scrivr, with the c,ifieers and men, except thole men
tinned in the inclosed IW, sett 101 l v ith the fbip ;
Lieutenant BEWICR (record Lieutenant), with Lieu-
tenant WILSON, of the Royal Mal ine,, and fix men,
were lent off in the gig, and landed in the weliern
part if the rfland ; and about thirty other in the
launch and large cutter, were all() landed, and the
boats returned to the chip, but have not been heard
of, and there is every reason to fear were 101 l on
bearing her.

" Through the great .exertions of Lieutenant
Colonel Sir THOMAS SAVMAREZ, in collating the
pilots and boatmen in the vicinity of Rau:pains, about
thirty feamen and marines were taken off the Rock
of the HAnnois at day light, which I fear are the
whole that have been laved.

" The greaten praife appears to be due to Captain
SCOTT, and all his Officers and Men, for their Iteadi•
fiefs and good condlift, under fuch perilous circus-
!lances, in a dal k and tempelluous night, in the midi"
of the moll clangerons rocks that can be conceived ;
and t have molt fincerely to lament the his ni fu
many brave officers and mcn who have perilhed cn
this mull melancholy occatinn.
" Captain Sc'.rr has been long opts this flatinn,
and has always ibewn ►he gteatell zeal and attach-
ment for his Majelly's fervice, and in him particu-
larly, his cnunt47 meets a peat lots, being a moil
valuable and deferring officer.

It appeared in evidence. that the profectitor,
Grainger, is a brevet's drayman—that on the aboVe
mentioned day, about fuur o'clock, he was deliver-
ing a calk of beer at a chandler's (hop in Spitalfields.
The prifoner, while Grainger was fo engaged, ad-
vanced to the dray, and with a knife cut off the
padlock, which famed the box, a till attached to the
dray, and in which the money t eceived by the dray-
man was depofited, he immediately threw the pad-
luck into an adjoining piece of wade ground, and
returned inflantly to the dray, when he opened the
till and took a bag our, which appeared to be heavy,
as he nfed Loth hands to fupport it. He then
eroded the Area with his prey, which he depofited
fomewhere, and returned to the feene of action
again; this luccefsful mantruvring. of the prifoner
was defcribed by the principal witnefs, Mary Prielt,
who obferved the tranfaftion from an oprofite win.
dow. The profecutor, on coming out of the chats
diet's (hop, (hortly sniffed his money, and naturally
made an outcry ; feveral perfirns were collated
about the fpct, and a woman, the above mentioned
witnels, told him the prifoner had taken his money,
on which he ran up and collared him, laying he had
his money. On which tie prifoner uttering tome
flunking langnage, knocked him down. The pro-
fecutor however again attempted to fecure him, but
the prifoner drew out a knife, and obliging him to
della. he then got away. The allitiabce of Grif-
fiths, the Gilinr. was recurred to, but he fought for
the prifoner in that quarter in vain. He faun after
wards heard of his being lodged in the Conquer, un
lune other charge ; the padlock was found in the
place where the woman defcribed it had been thrown
—it was identified by Grainger, as that belorging
to the dray ; the money was never recuverer'.
The pity immediately prow unced the prifoner
Guilty. After which, Griffiths, the officer, info, flied
the Court, uhlt the convict was one of the molt no-
torious pickp ckets in all London. and that he
bad been engaged in fuck pladdces ever (iota he
was a br. y.
Yellet day William lianfon was capitally indiBed
for dealing in a dwelling houfe thirty ye: ds Of brown
Holland, and twenty yards of cotton, value 31. the
goods of Meffis Meyer and hlegu, army clothiers, of
Margaret-flrect, Cavendifh-fipiare, nn the 12:h of
November lad ; and John Smith was indicted feu
receiving the fame, knowing them to be liolen.
The ptiloner Hanlon had been an 'apprentice to
, the prolecutors for above lix years. They had miffed
goods from lime to time, and in confequence ~f a
private letter :risen a neighbour of theirs, a Mr. Ito
hitt Smith, to whom the prifOner had offered fume
leather for fele. their frifricions turned upon him,
and he was charged with difh .nefty. He at fill
affleted to be highly offended, firm the lenfe of fo
much injury his chataaer ; but. on being called
into a private rocm by Mr. Virgo, and finding
Mr. Smith was in the houfe to confront him, he laid
"he would e .nfefs all if that old rogue was gone."
Mr. Smith went away, and the prifoner then con-
felled lie had been for a confiderable time pall rob-
bing his mailers at different times of various articles,
and that he from time to time fold thole articles,
greatly below their value, to John Smith, the other
prifoner, who was a piece broker in Bedfordbury,
and a men of conliderable opulence. A (-catch war-
rant was obtained ; and Mr. Meg°, accompanied
by Hamilton, the police Laker, of Matlborough-
Itreet, went to the houfe of Smith, and there found
the goods charged in the indiament, but divided in
various pieces. The prifoner Hanlon, without any
prnmife of mercy, figned a confellion of his guilt
before the Magittrates at Matlborough-flreet, and
laid that he had fold goods to Smith, within the
pseceding month, to the amount of above 401. The
goods produced in Court were identified by Melts.
alegn and Meyer ; and a model of a door and win-
dow exhibited, to (hew the ltratagem by which Han-
fon had contrived io effect his plunder, and elude
the vigilance of his mallets.
Hanlon, in his defence, laid, that he made the con-
legion on the promife of being admitted an evidence
againll Smith.
The Rsfmtnea lamented that in this cafe, altho'
the guilt of both was palpable, and that of the re•
ceiver much greater than that of the thief, yet the
indictment could not be fully fuflained by the evi-
dence. The whole value of the articles fworn to
was but 31. they were all divided into greater or la-
fer pieces, and there was no proof that there was
ft..len, at any one time, to the amount of forty &I-
li:Ts—confequently the capital part of the charge,
as againd Hanlon, was done away, although the
proof was fufficient to convict him of larceny. And
with refrat to Smith, whom he confidered the
greater criminal of the two, as a receiver and encou
rager of fuch robberies. the only proof againd him
under this indillment was the confelii.m of Hanlon,
net taken upon oath, and therefore he could not he
convicted. It was to he lamented that ctiminals
like him fo frequently eicape jullice, through an ea-
gernels ti) convie the principal; whereas the true
maxiui for the ends of jultice and the preventiln of
crimis would be, " let a knave to catch a knave ;"
and always to admit the thief as an evidence againd
the receiver. by which means their mutual confidence
would he broken down.

The July found Hanfon guilty of the larceny, and
acquitted Smith.
Elizaloak Brown and Mary Matib were indicted for
Realine fe,eral antient gold coin,, the property of
Mr. Shuter, of Curfitot-ltreet, and (.rey, was
indieled for receiving the fame, knowing them to be
flolen.

The prifoner Brown had been entrulled a ith the
care of Mr. Artist's haute in his abfence, and on his
return the ..-nins were milling, and a fulpicion fell
upon the ptifoner. On keing apprehended, the eon,
(cited the whole, and gave up the other prifoner
Mar lh, as an accatry, and Grey as the receiver.
It appeared, however, that fome inducement had been
held out to the prifoner Brown to make this confer
lion.

The Rscoanva, therefore, would not permit it to
he read in evidence; obferving, that if a oinfelli •n
of this kind wa• obtained either from a hope being
held otit that the thould not be ptaccutee, or front

Hie inti,rettee of terror, it could not be received as
evidence. THe impreffion on the Prifcrner's mind
feasted to havi-been that the would be made ufe 01
only as a witners, and fhe teemed rather to be an in
Hutment that had fallen into had hands. The Jury
were therefore obliged to atquit all the three prifnner,.
After the trial Mr. Le Gr ice, a refiner, to wham
fame of the coins had been told by Grey, anted the
Court whether he was to have any temuneration fur
delivering them up ?
The RITCORDSIt laid, " Certainly not. Na man of
common fenfe or huritfly could buy fuch things from
a journeyman fhoemaker."

Lawrence Teary was charged with !telling, nn the
2d of November. a bandbox, value id. contaihing
two gowns, value .sos. five pairs of ilockings, value
7s, and other articles, laid at the property of John
Penthole.

The circumflances of this cafe were briefly as fol
low :—The profecutor, it appears, keeps an errand
cart,and plys from Beckingham in Kent, to London.
On the day abovetnentioned, he left his cart.for a
few minutes in the Haymarket, while he went into
the Opera H. life Tap. The prifoner was leen by
one of the witneffes, Moles, a fcavenger's man, in
company with another pet fon, much younger than
himfelf. They Rood within a few yards of the cart :
the younger man advanced, got op into the cart,
took out the box laid in the indiament, gave it to
the prifoner, run off himfelf, and the prifoner walked
away leifurely with the booty. The witnefs ab ve-
mentioned law this tranfaaion ; he inflantly qu:rted
his own cart, fulloaed the prifoner, laid hold of him
and laid, " You have got Tome pr.-Terty tbat does
not belong to you, come along with me." The
prifoner anfwered, " I flWitt run away ;" to which
the witnefs rejoined, " take care yr. lha'nt."—
He then took him into the Opera Houle tap room,
and gave the b-x to the prof-center, who intiantly
reengnifed it alone he had charge of. It was ditaled
to a Lady at George Box's, Elq. Brunfwick fquare.
An officer was fent f .r, to whom the prilonee and
the box were both delivered.

The pi ifonet (who fecmed to be a thnr, ugh pacer)
raid in his defence, that he was at fome dillance from
the cart, when a young man c tme up, and, giving
him the box, begged lie would tAke it fir hint AS far
as Suffolk dicer, whither he was proceeding when
the witnefs Moles flopped him. •
The Jury had no helltAtion in finding him Guilty.

Frederic Conrad. the fon rf a German, was convic-
ted of Healing a law. It was found on the perfon
(lithe prifoner. The defence was, that he had been
deaf and dumb fince his childhood, and was at vari-
ous limes fo mentally afTetted, as to be reduced to a
Hate of apparent idiocy.
The wit nell:s for the profeention pofilively fwore,
that he fpnke to them at the rime he was apprehen
ded ; whilft it was depofed by his father and two
other perlims, that they never heard him (peak a
tingle word fince his childhood, and that tie was fo
deaf as not to hear the Tower guns, though aelnally
taken to the fpnt, and placed immediately contiguous
to one at the gulls, at the time t;f its being fired off.
However, it was pi frively fworn on the profecution,
that he had fpoken, and the cunning of the prifoner,
in hiding the law between his j icket and his thirt,
was alio a thong point in his criminal ion.

in the indictment, the had been engaged in writhing
the articles flolen, the then gave them to her fellow
fervant, for the purpcfe of hanging them upon a line
in the bed room of tl.e w irnef,. W .eli her fellow
fervant took them up, the brought down the key of

night, when putting the key into the door, the found
it open to her hand, and tha: it had been forced ; the
things were taken away ; and witnefs gave an alarm

On her eras examination, by Mr. BARRY, it ap-
peared that this houfe was let nut in various tet►e.
ments, and that the prifoner at the bar and her but
band, an induftrions hard working man, refided in
one apartment. There were a number of percents
who had accers to the room in which the clothes were
placed.
Peggy Isl43rath corroborated the Ilatement rela
the to the clothes ; but the I( t cososa remarked,
there was a VATIAIi:n between her evidence then, and
the flatement fhc mule at the time of lodging her
infrrmari• n before the Magidrate.
Several other witnettcs were called, hut nothing
was proved, attaching any criminality to the prifoner.
The poor creature denied politively the charge
againll her; and %fretted, that the witnefs, Henley,
had menaced her with this profecortion, becanf.: the
prifoner had acquainted a relation of hers, whom
