ncrs, Drown and Wheeler, betwixt *Wand 11 o'clock
at night, ()tithe 'lsth of March. The. other prisonet
made his appearance, and snatched away the prose-
cutor's chain and seals; and he, at the same moment,
received a Lard blow on the head from one of the
other prisoners, which knocked him down. He, how-
ever, kept bist hold of Northall, but the severe blows
he received when on the ground, compelled him to
leave his hold, and the prisoner ran of. The prosecu-
tor followed, and never lost sight of Northall until he
was secured, hid behind a gateway, where the chain
and seals were thrown in the mud. A Mr. Knowles
assisted the prosecutor in the pursuit of Northall.—
Brown and Wheeler were apprehended at the Seven
Stars, in Sun-yard ; and; on taking them to the
watch-house, the prosectitiw immediately identified'
them, it having been starlight, and near two lamps
where he was first attacked.
On being called on for his defence, Northall said,
What's the use of saying any thing; they have'
been swearing away my life as tact as they can."
Brown said, 4, I am innocent, but you may hang
me to-morrow, if you like ;" and the other prisoner
protested his innocence. The Jury found all the pri-
soners Guilty—Death ; after which, Northall told the
Judge he was guilty of the robbery, but the other tiro
were as innocent as any men in Court.—Northall had
broken out of the Poultry Compter the day before the
robbery was committed.

mitted, charged with robbing Mr. Hall, of Bury-
street, St. James's, with whom she had lived as cook
about three weeks, of plate, &c. to a considerable
amount. A few days since, the family had assem-
bled for dinner, but no signs of any viands appearing,
the cook was sought for, but in vain : on examining
the safe, the meat appeared in the same state the
butcher had lett it ; but not so the plate closet, the
door of which was locked, but the key was not to be
found, and, on breaking open the door, it was found
to be divested of its contents. On further search, the
servants' boxes were discovered to have been opened,
and watches, notes, and other valuables, had vanished.
Information was then sent to the Office, when one of
the patrnle discovered her at a pawnbroker's, in the
act of pledging part of the property ; and other parts,
it appeared, she had sold to a Jew.
