OLD BillLEr.

Yesterday lamer Carey was indicted for robbing
Edward Milburne, on the highway, of his watch.
The prosecutor was passing through Whitechapel,
about seven o'clock of the 19th September, when the
prisoner struck him a violent blow on the forehead
which knocked hint down. Ti,e prisoner pulled out
the prosecutor's watch, and immediately ran away
w►th it. The prosecutor called out' stop thief.' The
prisoner was pursued, when be threw the watch from
him, which was picked cp and given to the prose•
tutor ; die prisoner was also secured, and identified
by the prosecutor, who was certain as to his person,
l►e having walked behind him for half a mile. He
also proved the watch to be his property. Guilty—
Death.

John Lane stood indicted for feloniously making
an assault on John Daly, and taken from his person
a hat, value 10s.
John Daly, as seaman of colour, deposed, that on
Sunday the Ist of this month, he was in Wellclose-
square, when the prisoner made up to him and whip-
ped off his hat, with which he immediately ran off.
The witness cried out • stop thief.' He was after.
wards secured.

John Lyle, a lighterman, deposed, that he met the
prisoner running with a hat in his hand, coming to
%%Ards the witness. As he advanced the prisoner shyed
the witness, and ran towards the Danish Chapel, in
ellclose.saluare. The witness followed the prisoner
into a corner aid collared him, and the prisoner also
collared the witness, using hot rid imprecations if he
did nt•t 1. t him go. The prisoner got the witness
down. A young man came up and advised the wit-
ness to let the prisoner go, as he was a desperate
fellow—.in oat and outer. The witness took his advice,
and the prisoner went off in a fighting attitude. When
the prisoner was gone the witness discovered that he
had taken Ins seal from off his watch, and that his
waistcoat was cut up with a knife. On going back
to t! e place where he had originally engaged the pri-
soner, lie liiund a hat, which was claimed by the
bLick seaman, to whom it was delivered up. The
witness gave a description of the prisoner's person the
following day to the Police Officer, by whom he was
apprehended.

Another Witness also proved the identity of the
prisoner.

- The prisoner put in a written defence, in which he
declared that the lighterman was unworthy of credit,
having been tried several times.
`Tie persons by whom he proposed to prove his
chaige were however themselves witnessses to whom
no credit was due, being prisoners under charges of
receiving stolen goods.
Air. Justice CHAMBIig informed the Jury that there
was an end to the capital part, the crime amounting
to merely a snatch, unaccompanied with violence.
The Jury, to the astonishment of every person in
Court, found the prisoner—Not Guilty—but upon
the application of Lyle, he was ordered to be kept in
custody till he could 'have time to prefer an indict-
ment against hiarfor robbing him of his seal.
Williunr Simco was indicted for robbing Thomas
Page of a silk handkerchief, value ss. his property.
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner and aao-
ther man ran violently against the prosecutor, his
wife, and another female, who was in company with
them, on the 12th of October, on the road to Hoxton.
The witness was terrified lest some halm might be
done by them to the females; at the same moment he
felt his handkerchief drawn from his right ,hand
pocket, and a blow on his arm caused him to let go
a bag which he held in his hand, and which fill to the
ground. The prosecutor ran after the prisoner, and
took him not three yards from the spot where the cir-
cumstance took place. The other man ran the other
way and escaped.
Elizabeth Page corroborated the statement of the
former w itness, and proved that she and the other
female were greatly alarmed. She was in such a
fright that she did not know what they did. All she,

•
recollected was, that her husband cried' out that he
was robbed, and stop thief.
Mr. Baron GRAHAM addressed the Jury, stating,
that there was here such a degree ot violence as might
have had the effect of putting the prosecutor off his
guard, s.) as to have the less command over his pro-
perty—of this, the Jury, however, were to judge.—
Guilty of the Simple Larceny.

with two bundles, containing halt a dozen of o
inc
each, which they told hum they had brought from
Smilers' .Hall, and that the Mine was their father's
perquisite, who was Beadle there. The Officer was
not satisfied with this account, but took them into
custody ; and found on them some silver spoons, and
a key, which opened the Company's small-beer" cel-
lar; and in that was found a skeleton key, which
opened the wine cellar, in which the plate was kept.

The Shopman of Waller proved that the poisoner
pledged the articles in question a ith his master for
14-s. The goods were worth to the wearer about £2,
but not so much as articles of sale.
Lord ELLENDOROVGII said this did away the capi-
tal Jury found the prisoner—Guilty of
the Simple Larceny.
The same prisoner was indicted for stealing, in the
parish of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, one watch, value
£2, and one seal, value 10s. the property of Richard

The prosecutor's brother's wife saw the prisoner go
into Richard Gillet's house, on the V.tof September ;
she came out again having something in her hand,
which was concealed under her shawl.
Mary Ann Gillet, the prosecutor's wife, imme.
diately on coming into the parlour, missed the watch,
and inquired of her sister what site had seen ? she then
went to the pawnbroker's, and the prisoner had by
that time been taken.
J. Garton, a police-officer of Worship street., took
the prisoner up on a different charge ; searched the
prisoner in Mr. Waller's parlour ; found the watch,
seals, and two rings in a handkerchief, wh'cli Lhe
left on a chair in the pawnbroker's; said it was heir
father's watch; said she lived in Holborn ; the wi:e
ness said he would keep it till her father claimed it.
in about half an hour it was claimed by the pro-
secutor.
The prosecutor proved the property ; gage £3 10s.
for the watch, and I Is. far the seal.
Mr. Justice Crianunae said, it the Jury were sa-
tisfied that the prisoner was the person who stole tke
property in question, and it was of the value of 1-Os.
they would find her guilty of the entire charge ; if
they were of opinioa that it was of less value than
40s. then they would find her guilty of the simple
larceny.—Guilty of stealing to the value of :;9s.
Charles Linton and Ann Harris were indicted (fir
stealing in the dwelling-house of William Walton, a
pocket-book, containiii•kt, his property.
The prosecutor la eps a cohk's shop, in liroad.street,
St. Giles's. About eleven at night of V9th Septem-
ber, while the prosecutor was putting a one pound
note into his packet-book the watchman came in for
a light, and before he was gone the prisaners both caste
in and ordered a plate of beef each for iiipper. The
pocket-book was in the mean time in the till. The
prisoners wanted some pickles ; the prosecutor had
to go down a few steps for them. He immediately
heard the male prisoner move from the place where
he sat, which induced him to be speedy. ITe only
heard one foot-step, which he believed to be the male
prisoner's. lie could plaiuly hear it move across the
shop to where the till was. He brought but a small
allowance of pickles, which occasioned the male pri-
soner to ask if his pickles were nearly out. The pro-
secutor replied, e. No, but my time is nearly out."
! The male prisoner then wished to go to the door
fora minute. The prosecutor let him out, and in the
mean time looked for his pocket book, which lie dis-
covered was gone. The male prisoner in a short
time returned, when the prosecutor having alai medl
'the watch, had the prisoners taken into custody, wilco
a search being made, it was ineffectual. On return•
ing teom the watch house, where the prisonershad been
searched and nothing found upon them, a second
search was made about the rails of the church, in
the neighbourhood of the prosecutor's shop. when,
between the first and second house from the prase-
cutur's, on a post which connects the two, the pro-
secutor's pocket book, containing the property in
question, was found.
The watchman, the patrole, and the constable of
the night (the latter of whom had the notes in his
possession since), corroborated the statement of the
prosecutor.
The prosecutor identified the notes.
Mr. Justice CIIAMBIIE informed the Jury, if they
believed the evidence, and thought that the female
prisoner, though her situation was extremely suspi
cious, might have been ignorant of the transaction,
they would acquit her.
The Jury immediately found Charles Linton Guilty,
and Ann Harris, Not Guilty.
Gongrese and Sarah Rabneti were indicted
for stealing in the dwelling-house of John Doyle a
wooden till, containing penny pieces, halfpence, and
farthings, to the amount of £4, one key, a gold ring,
