OLD BAIZE?".

Tuesday, Joseph Fawcett stood capitally indicted
for privately stealing in a dwelling-house from a box
belonging to a benefit society, called the Amicable
Society of Portable Desk-makers, £2O and upwards,
m cash and notes, in the month of October last. The
fact was clearly proved, and the Jury found the pri-
soner guilty—Death.
George King and Win. Coleman were also capitally
indicted for a burglary, in having broken a pane of
glass in the shop-window of Joseph Fontaine, brazier,
of Middle-row, Holborn, on the evening of the 24th
of October, and stolen from thence a brass candle-
. stick, a glass lamp, and a taper-stand.
John Griffiths and Mary Bucithorpe were likewise
indicted for receiving the above articles, knowing
them to be stolen.—The two first-mentioned priso-
ners were boys, one 15, and the other 12 years of age.
.G. King was the person who broke the window and
stole the goods, the other prisoner was in his company.
On being apprehended, through the information of a
companion of theirs, they confessed the fact, and
gave information of their having sold the articles to
the latter-mentioned prisoners, who keep au old iron
shop in Black Boy-alley, Gray's.inn-lane. On the
officer approaching the house, the former prisoner saw'
him, ran backwards, and in a few seconds something
was thrown from the first floor v.indow, which on
being picked up was discovered to be the taper-stand
stolen from the prosecutor's window.—George 'King
%sots found guilty—Death. Vim. Coleman was ac-
quitted ; and Griffiths and the woman, Bnckthorpe,
were found guilty, which sentence subjects them to
transportation for 11 years.
Rohm, an unfortunate child, not more than 14
years of age, stood indicted for stealing half a bushel
of barley, the property of Wm. Batt, a farmer in the
parish of West Drayton, on the 7th of September last.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecut7r,
that on the day mentioned in the indictment, his bar-
ley being cut and cocked, there were several persons
in the field gleaning, and amongst others the prisoner,
who is the daughter of a poor labouring man in that
neighbourhood. Witness stated, that he saw the pri-
soner stop at a cock of barley, and break off several
heads from the straw, and put them in her apron ;
he remained secreted behind a hedge for nearly a
quarter of an hour, watching the progress of the de-
predation, and when she had got her apron nearly
full, he ran forward, and took her into custody.

This fact being clearly substantiated, the Jury
found the prisoner—Guilty.
The RECORDER then addressed the poor girl, on the
impropriety of her conduct ; but, in consideration of
her having been imprisoned since the 7th of Septem-
ber, he seritenced her to flay a Inc of one shilling, and
Le discharged.
The father of the girl then came forward, and
having expressed his gratitude for the lenity of the
Court, took his daughter from the dock, who cried
incessantly, and seemed greatly affected at her dis-
graceful situation.
The prosecutor now addressed the REconnErt, to
ask for his expellees ; this request, however, was re-
fused, on the wound of his ability to defray the
charges himself. He then said he should be much
hapitkr if the girl had been ordered to be whipped /
The R.rcortprat said, the Court was nut in the habit
of whipping women for such trifling offences.
iLa If a poor woman, far advanced in preg-
nancy, was nest put to the bar, on an indictment 14
stealing 19 seed-bags, in the dwelling-house of Messrs.
Mytilieer and Nash, svedsmen, in the Strand, on the
ltlt of October last. The goods were found in her
possession, which she said she had taken to make a
pair of sheets, in order to render herself comfortable
at her approaching lying-in.
Mr. Mynheer recommended her to mercy, and in
consideration of her situation, and former good cha-
racter. the RECORDE:t, with peat humanity, only sen-
tenced her to pay a fine of one shilling, and be dis-
charged.
Gcorgc Lane, a porter, formerly in the service of the
sante prosecutors, was convicted of stealing four bags
from their warehouse.

John Browne was convicted of stealing four pair of
shoes and one boot from Mr. Kirkland, a shoemaker,
in King-street, Covent-garden. The circumstances of
the case are already before the public, in a remit re-
port of the proceedings at the I'ubhc Office, Bow-
street.

RaLrt Carter and .791:nnurneaux, stood indicted for
stealing 25 pair of shoes, the property of Mark and
John Reid, shoemakers in Red-lion-street, Holborn, to
whom they were apprentices; and Rotel.' ShOley the
elder, and Robert Sliipley the younger, lather and son,
for receiving the same knowing them to be stolen. It
appeared that the depredations of the prisoners had
been carrying on for two years and a half, during
which time goods to an enormous extent had been
stolen from the prosecutors' shop. They were received
by Shipley and his son, who sold them for the joint
advantage of all, and to them in a great measure
might be attributed the delinquency of the two boys.
Robert Carter was acquitted, as there was no posi-
tive evidence to implicate him in the theft with which
the prisoners stood charged. The other three were
found Guilty.

shop at Wapping ; that the prisoner was in her ern-
ploy ; that she had lost a lumber of articles ; and that
she looked in the prisoner's box, when she put her
child to bed on the 2d of October last, where she
found the two pair of stockings in • question. She
called to a Mr. Butcher, who was in the house, and
'had the prisoner taken into custody. - At the watch-
house, a pair of gloves were found, and some sewing
silk and lace.
On being cross-examined by Mr. ALLEY, she ad-
mitted, that the prisoner's trunk was always left opey,
and that she was in the constant habit of putting by
his clean clothes in it.
Butcher deposed to the foregoing effect, and
added, that at the watch-house he touched something
with his foot, and, calling for a light, he picked up the
gloves and lace.
In his cross examination, he said he was a brick-
layer—he did not carry on Mrs. Death's business, but
afterwards admitted it in an indirect way.
The RECORDER, in summing up the evidence, told
the Jury, thlt the gloves and lace might have bt•en
placed in the watch-house, as well by any of the for-
mer witne:.ses as by the prisoner—as might the stock-
ings in his trunk.—TheJury, without a moment's he-
sitation, found a verdict of—Not Guilty.

A most atrocious murder was committed on Tues-
day se'nnight, in Blarney-lane, Cork, on a lamp-
lighter, named Neville, by the proprietor of a public-
house,. named Kelliher, and two associates named
Buckley. The object of this criminal brutality, had
been in the usual exercise of his duty, which extended
to Blarney-lane, and had knocked at Kelliher's door
in order to get a drink of porter. The door was ,
opened, but instead of admission, Kelliher and the
two Buckleys rushed out, the former with a large
wooden bar in his nand, attacked him, and a young
lad, his brother, who is also a Limp-lighter, and was
with him. One of the Buckkys held the lad, while
the other two attacked the deceased—and a blow of
the bar, given with extreme force, quickly did his
business, and the ruffians escaped. The Sheriffs, how-
ever, immediately secured the wife of Kelliher, and
a number of persons who slept in the house, which
was a kind of Carman's Inn. fly active exertions
they were also fortunate enough to secure one of the
Buckleys, who, with all who were in the house, they
lodged in Bridewell. The dead body of Neville was
removed to his house, when a Coroner's Inquest
brought in a verdict of Wilful Murder against Kelli-
her and the Backleys. Two of the villains have
hitherto eluded detection. The. persons who were
taken in Kelliher's house were released after the In-
quest—they were for the most part unacquainted with
the transaction. His servant-maid, who was-present
at the murder, isias custody,
