44 BERLIN, NOVEMBER 10.
" The long oppression practised by the French, and
their late barbarous conduct, has so exasperated the
inhabitants cf Saxony and Thuringia, that the pea-
santry will not bury any Frenchman, bet declare
that they are not worthy of German ground, and
must, thereto/1, remain lying in the fields, a prey to
the crows.
" It is reported here, that the Commandant of
Stettin has requested to capitulate, on condition that
the garrison shall not be sent prisoners to Russia ;
that all the. Officers may return to France, on their
parole wt. to serve during the war; and that they
may take to France-all the artillery and ammunition
not belonging to the fortress. These conditions were
refused."

Yesterday Sarah Murtin,agecl 70, ••who had been
tried nearly as often as My Hearty, of gd Bailey
toriety, was charged with stealing a price et cotton,
the property of T. Blower, a linen-draßer, iz 'fottimi
ham-court-road. The prisoner tow. the article frt
the shop door, but it was missed ,I:rectly alter, and
the shopman observing the prisoner wrapped in a
red cloak, walking with one 'arm a-kimbe, followed her,,
and found the property in her powiessien—Guilty. •
The prosecutor recommended the prisoner .tot
mercy on account of her age ; hut the RECORDER in-'
formed him she was a pretty constant attendant
there ; and as she was too old to be transported, he
did not know how to dispose of her.
dun Johnson was indicted for stealing, from the
person of James Stanton, a watch. The prosecutor, a
youth of 18, was viewing the lights at Somerset-house,
when the prisoner accosted him, and, whilst convers.
ing, he felt her endeavouring to get his watch out of
his pocket. She did not do it then, but when he left
her he had lost it. without, feeling its departure.—
Guilty.
The following were Also convicted of felonies, viz.
1. Tobin, for stealing a quantity of raw sugar ; Eliz.
Simpson, for stealing six books ; J. Parsons, for
stealing ,a piece of, bacon ; M. Arnold and T. Hay-
wood, for stealing several articles of household fur-
niture ; D. Powell, for stealing two trusses of hay ;
T. Sheridan, for stealing a spring of pork ; Cath. Wil-
liams, for stealing a pelisse ; Mary Bryant, for steal-
ing a quadrant ; Cath. Baker, for stealing several
' articles of grocery ; J. Williams, for stealing a pair
of boots ; G. Vergo, for stealing two shirts and other
articles ; A. Creighton, alias Christie, for stealing a
pair of sheets ; and J. Little, for stealing a Blazed
window sash.
G. Buis! was indicted for stealing a quantity of
leather, the property of his employers, Laurie and Co.
The prosecutors had lost leather Often, and the pri-
soner waS•employed at his own house in making sad-
dles. He was suspected, and, on his apartments be-
ing searched, a considerable quantity of leather was
found more than had been giVen out to him. Seve-
ral witnesses gave him a insst excellent character, and,
as there was a doubt as to identity, the primer was
acquitted.
J. SlougAnian was indicted for stealing from the
person of Mary Williams a potket-book, containing
a JEI bank note.

The prosecutrix, a widow woman, stated, that she
was passing along Holborn, on the 4th of November,
when the prisoner begged to conduct her through a
crowd ; and in doing so he put his right hand round
her waist, -and she felt his other hand ?n her pocket.
After getting through the crowd, the prisoner Itift her,
and she instantly missed her book. -She next day
gave information at Hatton Garden Office, when, by
.the description, the prisoner was-apprehended.
The officer who took him did riot find the book.—
On being cross-examined, he said he first suspected
another man, a common pickpocket, who had but one
eye, and was not unlike the prisoner. He had known
Slougliman several years as a licensed hawker.
The Recommit. observed, that a doubt existed, and
it was better the guity should escape than the inno-
cent suffer.—Acquitted.
This following were also acquitted, viz.—J. Shin-
ley, Sarah Tanner, J. Welch, Hannah Westienter, J.
!Steers, and Mary Howard.
