Bailey, before the Right lion. the-Loco :lilt,
Mr. IllniCe Roox, Mr. Jullice LAWItt NOS, Mr
R ECOaDtR, &c. When 25 prifoners were tried, 18
of whom were convieted of felony, viz.
Sarah Cafintan and Tar. Deedney for healing a
gold watch and other articles, the property of
James Brown. _ _ _

The profecutor (latest, that about two in the
morning of the 4th of June laft,he met the pri loner
Call:man, in St. James's-park, and accompanied
her to her lodgings in Duck-lane, Weßminfter.
He was not fober. He went to bed, but the pri-
foner did not. At the time he went to bed he had
the watch, a pair of filk flocking., a pocket and
neck handkerchief, a filver pencil cafe. a knife,
and .a pair of plated buckles all on his perfon. He I
awoke about fix in the morning, and miffed the
prifoner and the articles above mentioned, and
likewife 12s. 6d. in money. He then gave infor-
mation of the robbery.
A Conftable by accident met the prifoner in
Duck-yard,Duck-lane. He fearched her and found
a piece of paper, which the profecutor identified
to contain his own handwriting. The prifoner,
Dewdney, was afterwards apprehended at the Blue
Coat Boy public-houfe. A duplicate was found on
him, which the proftcutor !wore to be his property.
Anne Kelly (wore that Ile lived in the fame houfe
with the prifoners. About two in the morning of
the 4th of June, the prifoner Dewdney rapped at
her room door, and requefted that the would let
him in, as Ca(hman had not come home, and had
the key of their room with her. She opened the
door, and he remained until they heard Cathman's
voice on the Hairs, and fomebody with her. Cafh-
man and her companion went up (lairs. She
flopped about a minute, and came down to the
witnefs and Dewdney, and faid the could not open
her door and mutt force it. She took a piece of
iron which the witnefs was in the habit of ufing as
a poker, and broke open the door. Dewdney re-
mained in the witnef.'s room about half an hour,
when Cafhman came down and wbifpered him.—
She went up (lairs again, he remaining below.—
She came down once more, and gave him Tome
(liver. He then faid he fhould like to go to bed,
and took offhis jacket and lives and went up (lairs,
Calhman remaining with the witnefs. He (topped
up (lairs about ten minutes. When he came down
the while-is was outfide of het room door, going
for fome water, being rather thirfty. She obferved
that he was carrying a neck-handkerchief,buckles,
a encil cafe, and filk ftockings. He then put on
his jacket and (hoes, and the two prifoners went
down to the door. The witnefs followed them fay-
ing fhe was going for fome water. Dewdney then
laid the fhould have fome gin if the liked, and they
all let off towardsTothill-itreet, where there was a
houfe open. On the way thither Cabman put a
watch into the witnefs's hand, and Aced whether
it was gold or filver, and of what value it was ?
The witnefs replied that the could not tell. Cafh.
man then defired her to keep it for her a Ilion time,
as the was afraid the foldier (Dewdney, a private
in the Guards) would take it from herfelf. They
then got gin at different houfes. and proceeded to
Oxford-road. In going there Dewdney ;Liked the
witnefs for his property. She afked what property?
He laid the watch. The winters replied that the
had a watch, but did not know whole property it
was, but the would only give it to the perfon who
entrufted her with it. He then ffruck her a blow in
the mouth, which canted the blood to Me co-
pioufly. They went into a houfe in Oxford-road, in
order to procure fome gin to walk her mouth; the
then gave the watch to Cathman, and left them.
Upon her crofs•examination, the laid, that when
Cathman came down Hairs the fecond time the was
nearly undreffed, and defired Dewdney to go up
and bring down the remainder of her cloatlos.—
The witnefs had been taken into cuflody for this
affair. She never had been in cultod_y on a charge
of haling, but had Leen taken up for being dif-
orderly.
The landlord of the Blue Coat Boy public-houfe
raid, that Dewdney had come to his houfe in the
forenoon about eleven o'clock, where he (hewed
the articles to two foldiers. He faw him in the
afternoon coming towards his houfe, and ailed
in fecuring him. Nothing was found upon him.
This was the molt material part of the evidence
for the profecution. The profecutor (wore to the
articles produced.
Dewdney, in defence, faid, that upon the 3d
of June he had been on duty at the Opera-houfe.
He was relieved about one in the morning, and
went along with the detachment to Knightfbridge.
barracks. The Batas was beat about half
pall two o'clock, when he left the barracks and
went to his apartment, where he found Cathman
had fomebody with her. Cafliman came down to
Kelly's room, and defired him to go up ffairs for
her clothes, which he did ; but he was ignorant
of what was in them; they dewed him a watch,
&c. and defired him to difpofe of the property to
the belt advantage. He got the articles from Kelly.
The other prifoner Cathman (aid, the met the
profecutor at the top of Sloane-ftreet, who faid he
would go home with her. After he got to her
lodgings he faid he had no money, but the might
take his watch, and call upon him next day at fome
tavern in the neighbourhood of the Haymarket,
where he would give her money for it. She forgot
the name of the tavern. She took the watch as he
defired her, and carried it down to Kelly. She
denied taking any thing elfe.
After an addrefs from Mr. Juflice Lawacmcs,
the Jury found both the prifoners Guilty.
Jeremiah Bidden, for fclonioufly embezzling the
fum of 2091. ass. the property of John Benbow,
his matter.

ME. GURNEY opened the cafe. He faid that Mr.
Benbow was a refpeaable Attorney, living in Lin-
coln's Inn. A bill had been prefented for pay
menu at his chambers, on the morning of the sth
of May. That Mr. Benbow drew a draft on Gofling
and Sharp of Fleet-Rreet, for the fum. i; draft he
gave in obarge to the prifoner to get payment, with
which, at four in the afternoon, he was to go u
mails. Fla& and Co. and tains at t.:

Mr: Iflznbow, the prof:claw. Paid, the prifoner
had been in his fereicelince IA March. 'fiat a
-uill had been prefented athischambersfor payment,

imount of the hill, which he gave the prifoner to
take to Neflis. Coiling and Shitrp, at tour &dock,
arid then to proceed to Efdaqe's and take up the
I bill. After giving him the dryft, he went to the
Houfe of Commons, and returned to chambers be-
tween five and fix, where he did not find the pri-
foner, who never after returned. He had tent him
frequently before to his hankers to get fma:l
He did not fee the prifoner again until the. 3d of
June at Buw-ilreet, and then his drefs was totally
changed, his hair was cut off, and he wore a wig,
which made a very material difference in his ap-
pearance.

Mr. Ewings, cafhier to Coiling and Sharp, pro-
duced the draft of Mr. Benbow, which lie laid he
had paid in four 501. notes, and the reit in calh.
He believed the prifoner to be the perfon to whom
he had p lid it.
The prifoner afked the witnefs whether he had
not Paid b:fore the Magiftrate that he could not
(wear to him, and whether he bad not denied all
knowledge of him ?
Mr. Ewings replied,that he hadfaid no filch thing.
When he ftw the prifoncr at Bow-itreet he was lo
clifguifed that he could not !Wear to him, but he
now believed he w.ic the man.

Mr. 13enjatnin Davis, a clerk in the Bank of Eng.
land, fwore that the prifoner came to the Bank on
the sth of May, and got change for four fifty
pound notes. He received twe)ny five-pound, and
ten ten-pound notes, which he, Mr. Davis, polled
in the book. Here he gave the number of the notes
prefenred, which agreed with thole paid the pri
toner by Mr. Ewings. The prifoner wrote .his
name on Cm notes for which he gut change .
Emtlen, Lincoln's Inn."—The wooers then flakd
the number of the notes which he gave to the pri-
foner as change for the fifty pound notes.
W. Atkins, a Bow fireet Officer, apprehended
the prifoner at Bath, on the I II of June in the even-
ing. He fearched him, and found on him two
Bank notes, one for ten and the other for five
pounds. The numbers of thefe notes agreed with
thole mentioned by the preceding witnefs as hav-
ing been paid at the Bank. He learched his lodg.
ings and found 13 guineas, 20 half guineas, and
16 feven Chilling-pieces. The prifoner laid he had
got change for the notes, as he was afraid to carry
them about with him. At Bow-greet the prifoner
mentioned a trunk which he had at Southampton.
The witnefs went to Southampton, where he found
the trunk. It contained two ten pound and two
five pound notes. The numbers of thefe likewife
agreed will thOfe Rated by Mr. Davis.
The prifoner in his defence fubmitted to the
Court, that the cafe did not fall within the ftatute
againli breach of truft. He faid that the A& ex-
pretred only Bankers or Tradefmen. The prole-
color was a Solicitor and Attorney, and certainly
was neither a Banker or Tradefman. He had no
other defence to make.
The Recorder then went over the evidence, and
the Jury, without hefitation, found the prifoner
Guilty.
Henri Irdkinfon, for felonioufly Healing, on the
sth of July, fix yards of linen cloth, value 6s. and
an apron value 6d. the property of Thomas Norris.
It appeared that Mrs. Norris, the wife of the
Profecutor, had bought the cloth in queflion, the
day en which it was Nolen ; in her way home the
called into the (hop of a Mr. Lucas in Shoreditch,
and looked at Come flockings. She obferved the
Prifoner and another man come into the 'hop,
about the fame time with her. She laid the cloth
on the counter while the was bargaining about
Tome flocking:, but very fhortly miffed it. She
immediately taxed the Prifoner with the theft ; at
this time his companion had abfconded ; fume
words enfued, after which the Prifoner told Mrs.
Norris if the would go with him to the Pewter Plat-
' ter, a neighbouring public-houfe, (he fhould get
her cloth. The refult of this propofition was, that
the prifOner depofited half a guinea with Mrs. Nor-
ris as a fecurity for the forthcoming of the cloth.
In a few minutes after he returned with the cictli,
and demanded his money ; and in Come time after-
wards theProfecutor had him apprehended.

The Prifoner's defence confined of a narrative
oflitrlt More than the fats related on the part of
the Profecution ; to which he vainly endeavoured
to give a complexion favourable to himfelf.
The Learned Judge obferved, that the Law
deemed a confederate,in fuch a cafe as the preft nt,
equally guilty with the perfonwhofe hand aaually
committed the theft ; and that it appeared clearly
in evidence that the Prifoner knew what became
of the cloth, by his propofal to Mrs. Norris, and
afterwards producing the property.
The Jury had little hefitation in finding him

that he had been recently difeharged from one ot
his Majelly's (hips; on the 3d of June, between
twelve and on,: o'clock in the morning, he unfor-
tunately fell in with the prifoner near Drury-lane :
the decoyed him to her lodgings, wherebeinghotif
ed, he fent not another girl, whom he found in the
apartment, with a fhilling for tome liquor--ffiort-
ly after the fhillia7., was returned as a bad one, and
it was raid, he mull come down flairs to fpcak
with the Mißrefs of the houfe about it. He went
down and the prifoner accompanied him with die
light ; when they got near the greet door, he Rat-
ed that the prifoner blew nut the candle; puthed
him on:, and Ihut the door—when he was imme-
diately (deed by three men, and held faR by two
.af them, while the third took his nntei from his
waillcoet pocket. He faw the men immediately
after go into the hook. He gave the alarm as
(non as be ennld ; the watchmen and others came
with him. entered the hook, and took the prifoner,
a young girl, into co flody ; but neither of the three
men, nor any tidings of the notes could be found.
On being quellioned by Mr. Nike LAWRENCE,
he acknowledged he could not read, nor could he
tell the amount or deferiptiou of the notes, farther
than what he Paid a Clerk at the Pay Office told
him—die pertim, however, was not brought for-
ward, nor had he any witne(fes in rapport of the
foregoing charge.
The Learned Judge ohferved, that though it'
might appear the poor fellow had been ill treated
by loose folks in company with the girl ; yet the

bank notes, of which, in the fir* inflame, there
was no proof, farther than :hat the profecutor was

The windows of their houfe were imply covered
with cloths, and were very dirty. The lower win-
dow had only the under part covered, and be could
fee over. He remained on the watch until about
two o'clock, when Mary Rodgers came out ; flie

She very foal returned with a pot of beer, and
went into the houfe very quickly, having, as the
witnefs fit/Toted, a key. Nobody ifined from or
entered the hnnfe until about four o'clock, when
the prifoner Horn came and went in. The wh-
eels then defired his friend Mr. Springhall to
watch Horn timid he come out. About half pall
fix he came out, lookingcautionfly about bim.—
He went to a wine vault in Suffolk-hreet, and loon
after returned. In the mean time the witnefs tlif-
patched Holland, his affifiant, to the Office for

He alfo found a child's hat filled with blank pieces

their defence, neither Rodgers not his s ate attempt.;
ed to fay any thing ; but Horn laid he only went tf
fee his childt en, Mrs. Rodgets being his daughter.
Mr. Juflice ROOK s, in fumming up the evidence,
obfervcd, that the crime with which the prifoner
were charged, was of a treafonable, and, there
'ore, of a capital nature by the law, the policy sis
which he would explain to them in a moment.—
the law was AS ancient as the days of Edward lli.
The commece of this country would be in a pe-
rilous fittiation, if a man, for his hard earnings,
was to receive payment in bad coin. In order to
protett it, the counterfeiting of the coin was con-
:litutzd treafon and felony Come centuries ago; and
was the more neceffary in proportion as the coin-
merce of the country increafed. He then contrail-
ed the different points of the evidence as far as re-.
lated to the prifoncrs individually, difcriminating
thole circumitances which bore more or lets for or
againft them, and after fume confultation the Jury
found a versliA—Jufeph Rodgers, Gaiky—Death ;
the other two prifoncrs Nct Guilty.
Ten were conviAed of felony. viz.
Charles Williams for aflaulting John Ward on the
sth of July, and taking from him a filverwatch.
The profecutor dated, that upon the sth of
July he went to North Baker Ikea, Mary-la-bonne,
to witnefs the afcent of M. Garnerin's balloon.—
While he flood there he felt a hand at his watch
pocket, and in endeavouring to put down his own
hands he was fo fqueezed by a gang of pick-
pockets that he could not ufe his arms. In the
mean time his watch was taken from him. About
a minute after he obfervcd the prifoner and feve-
ral of his companions clofe by him ; he attempted
to feize one of them. Several of the party, upon
this held up their clenched Os to his face by way
of intimidating him. He then got out of the crowd
with all expedition. He faw his watch a (fort
time afterwards in the hands of a conftable, in a
public lavife at the comer of Baker-fireet. The
prifinicr was at that time in enflody of the officer.
-- Mayhew, the conduitor of the Bow-ttreet
parole, faid he faw the prifoner after the afcental
the balloon with eight or ten fellows with him,
hullling the people. There was a little bridge
from the fields leading to the road, and upon the
road there was a number of carts and waggons
through which there was a narrow pafrage for the
crowd. The prifoner was in front of his compa-
nions, and the witnefs upon looking narrowly at
him perceived a flyer watch in his hand. When
the prifoner faw the witnefs looking at him he
Strunk back. The witnefs then endeavoured to
collar him, but he was unfortunate in this attempt,
as in making the effort he was knocked down and
beat. The reit of the patrole coming initsintly up
ficceeded in fecuring him. The witnefs then took
him under hisguidance,and in going along Baker-
reet the prifoner Itoksped under the pretence of pnll-
ing up the heel of hto (hoe, and in Ilooping threw
away the watch, which however was immediately
recovered.

One of the patrole Paid, that when Mayhew was
knocked down, be feized the prifoner, and in do-
ing fo received a violent blow with a flick. He
law him throw away the watch, and the witnefs
recovered it.

The prifoner made a (hart defence, and the Jury
found him guilty of Larceny only, which did away
the capital part of the charge.
Grosz,. Spikes and games Hollis, for healing a
baficer, containing a quantity of wearing apparel,
the property of Mrs. Joyce Duce.
The prifoners, two young lads, it appeared, were
Peen,' by one of the witneffes, together, near the
Houle of Mrs. Duce, a laundrefs, at Iflington.—
Hollis went in, and inflantly came out with a
ba&et of clothes, with which he and Spikes, who
remained near the door, made off. The alarm
was (hon given, they were purfued, and were over-
taken in the attempt to get over fume adjacent
paling, after having thrown away the banter. '
The eircumllances being clearly proved, and
the Learned Judge being decidedly of opinion that
under the law they were both equally guilty, the
Jury found a verdi& againfl both to that effea.
Samuel Rains, for healing two pair of doe flops,
t 8 pairs of gloves, in an unmade hate, and one
pair of breeches, the goods of Thomas Lingham.
The Profecutor is a Breeches-maker, &c. in the
Strand, and the Prifoner it appeared had worked
in his employ about three months. In confequence
of Come information the former received, he went
to Pritcitards the pawnbroker, in Short's gardens,
Drury-lane, and there found a part of the property
laid in the indiament, which it appealed the Pri-
foner's wife had pawned. It alfo appeared in evi-
dence that the prifoner had given the doe flops,
i. e. piecei of doe-flin ready for making up into
breeches, to another of Mr. Lingham's workmen,
in order to snake them, up, which he accordingly
did ; Sind the breeches were produced in Court, of
which Mr. Lingham identified the materials as his
riarx7y, by
means °this Ramp appearing on the.
e• ; she workman alto (roved, that he made
the breeches by order of the prifoner; who faid they
were for one of the cullomers. The identity of
the gloves was proved nearly in a fimUar manner.
In has defence the prifoner averred, that he bought
the breeches for IL Is. 6d. from a perfon who
looked like a Gentleman's fervant, and a witnefs
was brought forward by him to prove, that a per-
fon came into the prifoner's apartment, while they
were drinking tea, and fold him tome damaged
leather. However, the Jury not deeming this de-
fence fnificient to invalidate the charge, found the
prifoner Gm*, after a very Ihort conlithation.
W. rah, for dealing a leather pocket-boek,the
promy of W. Newhoure.
Map for Reeling a pair of breeches, the
property et W. Haywood.

There are a. clefts of men of greater importance to fociety
than thole which devote their time and talents t.) the preferva-
don of the health of their fellow c rea: ores. How eminently fue-
