dies, a chaife bridle, two fnaffle bridles, and a mar-
tingale, from the Rable of Mr. White, a farmer, at
Welfion, being his property, and the latter for ptir.
chafing the time, knowing the fame to be Rolen.
Henry Shurty, fervant to Mr. White, Rated, that
early on the morning of the 3ta of May, he found
his Mailer's (table door iad been broken open during
the night, by puthin back the bolt, and on entering
mitred- the above articles, and inllead of a hat which
had been left there the preceding evening, by Mar.
(ham, another fervant of White's, found one bel,,,vg.
ing to 'the prifoner Collet, and which be had teen
him wear the day before.

That this hat belonged to the prifoner was farrier
corroborated by its being bloody on the fide, eat ref.
ponding with a fore ear that Collet was known to
have at the time. On the day following, the 31(1,
Shinty found the two prifoners, Collet and Flewin,
at the Buffaloes Head, New Road, and on attempt-
ing to fecure them, Flewin ran away, while Cnllet
ftruggled hard to geet loofe, and drawing a knife
from his coat pocket made feveral tubs at witners,
which luckily did him no farther injury than perfor-
ating his coat in feveral places. Golfe was then
wearing Marrham's hat, which he had taken frum
the liable.

On the information of Collet, the witnefs went on
the t 7th of June to the lodgings of Lander, at the
corner of Compton-Rreet, St. Giles% up two pair
of (lairs, where, among a variety of other faddiery
wares., he found the bridles in queftion, but not the
faddlesohough there were upwards of twenty in the
room. The w•itnefs on this took Lander to Marl-
borouph•Rreet, where be was examined, but without
obtaining any fatistaCtory information rerpeding the
(addles, and was defired to appear next day. On
their way from the office the prifoner informed the
witnefs that he had now recollthed of felling a couple
of faddles Inch is he had defcribed to one Williams,
a faddler, corner of Rathbone place. They went
there accordingly, accompanied by the officer in
whole cuttody Lander was, and found that Williams
had fold the faddles to a gentleman's fervent, in whore
cuftody they were found. This evidence was con-
firmed by correfponding teftimony.
Mr. Williams Rated that he had bought the faddlee
of the prifoner for 31. 51. and fold them for
Collet's father appeared to he heard in evi-
dence, but, on account of his relation to the prifo-
ner, was judged incompetent.
One man appeared in favour of his charafter,which
he raid he had never heard impeached before.
A number of refpe.table tradefmen appeared ha
favour of Lnnder's eharalier, and reprifented him
as an hnnell, indußrious man, whom they had known
feverally from ro to 18 years.
One of the Jury expreffed a with to know what
Lander had paid for the bridles, faddles, Bcc. when
it appeared from the re-examination of Shurty that
Lander had told him 251. while Collet had declared
that he had not got more than ss.
Lander, at the bar, repeated his having given 251.
but Rated the faddles to have been incomplete, and
that be had given them new Rirrups and Rirrup-
ftraps before felling them. This circumfiance was
farther confirmed by Williams.

The Ricoaolt, in Cumming up the evidence, ob-
ferved that nothing feemed to bear againft Dewitt,
except the circurndance of his running away, which
might not, perhaps, be unnatural on the leisure of his
companion.—Collet and lender were returned—
Guilty ; and Flewin—Not Guilty.
William Howe, an old man, above (event y, was con-
aided of dealing a pig, valve two guineas, the pro-
perty of Mr. Giles. farmer, at Bow Fair Fields. The
fad being clearly proved, the old man could only, in
a trembling voice, defend himfelf by denying the
theft. He had no friend on earth, he Paid, and hop-
ed the Judge would be his friend. The Judge from
the Bench (the R[CORDIR) faid, he believed he had
been his friend before now, and was afraid that no-
thing would reform him ; obferving to the Jury the
difficulty of treating Inch an cld practitioner in guilt.
It appeared that he had been difmiffed, tome time
ago, from the Houfe of Con eftion.
William White, for (leafing too wt. of lead, which
had been affixed to a dwelling-houfe, the property
of Francis Page.
It appeared that the Profecutor, havin miffed the
lead off his (simmer houfe on the 9th of June left, at
fix o'clock in the evening, and feeing the track of a
man's foot newly made, ordered his fervent: to trace
it; this was accordingly done, and the prifoner was
difcovered with his wife fitting in a neighbouring
wood with the flolen lead in a lack juft by him.
The Pt ifoner denied that the fack belonged to him;
but the circumftances being fo Aron& againft him,
the Jury found him—Guilty.
W. Crielleevell, for robbing his wafter, Mr. Jere-
dine, pewterer, in Poland-ftreet, of property to a
confiderable amount. Mr. j. had fufficient reafon to
fufped he had been robbed by the prifoner, and Li,.
vett, an officer of police, was fent with a warrant
to fearch his apartments. He there found a great
number of articles, which were (worn to by the pro.
fecutor. It was the prifoner's intention to have com-
menced bufinefs in a (tort time, and he had folicited
the favours of many of his maftet's codomers.
Fourteen were acquitted, among whom :ail
John Smith, for healing an umbrella. In defence
the prifoner faid he had fallen into a fit in the Meet,
and When he recovered he was poffeffed of the um.
brella. It appeared, however, that he was a lunatic
who bad elcaped from Edmonton Poot Honk,
thee be was ordered to be conveyed.
