OLD BAILEY.—On Thursday, J. Nixcn and J.
Saunders were indicted fcr stealing an ass, the pro-
pery of the Earl of Mansfield.
The animal, which was a favourite in the family,
was stolen out of the paddocks at Caen wood. The ass
was traced to the prisoners, who exchanged it with a
fishmonger in Fitzroy Market. Pearkes and Smith
took the prisoners into custody ; but the possession
only was proved against them. In order to shew
that the prisoners came honestly by the animal, they
stated that they had purchased him of a waggoner
going down Holborn, and this having been corrobo-
rated, they were acquitted.
T. Slater was indicted for stealing a bundle, con-
taining a quantity of apparel, the property of J. La-
cey. The prosecutor, who was a stranger in Lon-
don, was accosted by a man, pretending to be a por-
ter, at Pket-market, who prevailed on him to hire him
to carry his bundle. The pretended porter led the
prosecutor out of his way, and they called at a pub-
lic house in Newgate•street, where the prisoner was
sitting on a bench at the door, and got into conversa-
tion with the prosecutor and the porter, who assured
Lacey he would be his pilot. After thinking tolerably
freely, the prisoner introduced a woman to the prose-
cutor, and they started off : but they had not gone
far, whets the lady pressed a salute, and during the
ceremony, the prisoner and the pretended porter esca-
ped. Part of the contents of the parcel was found on
the prisoner, who had before been transported. Guilty.
