OLD BAILEY.

Yesterday E. IV.O was indicted for breaking open
the house of fl. M. Dacosta, Esq. and stealing there-
in plate, linen, and apparel, on the night of the 12th
ult. The prosecutor resides in Prescomstreet, Good-
man's-fields, And the prisoner was formerly his ser-
vant. A female servant was awoke by the ringing of
the kitchen bell, and went down stalls with another
maid servant, %chili .1 person from without desired to
see the master of the house, but the servants at that
time took no notice, but retired again to bed. Soon •
after the bell was pulled again, and the, servants then
understood that something in reality was amiss, and
found that the kitchen don had been forced and the
property stolen. The prisoner was detected by For-
rester, as officer, in making off with the booty.—
Guilty--Death. • • •
den Rude, for stealing a shawl, value I ls. the
goods of R. Taylor, privately in his shop ; and J.
auras and T. Becknharn, for stealing in the dwelling:
house of R. Gunson, tom teen pair of blankets, value
A 7. 3s. Gd. his property, were also capitally convicted.
G:)rse Wars-in:ton was indicted for s eating, in the
dwelling house of I'. Alai tin, on the 15th ult. two
sel notes. The prisoner went to the shop of the pro.
secutor, in Peter-street, Clerkenwell, and inquired of
the prosecutor's wife if a person, whom he was in
search of to relieve, lived there ? Being answered in
the negative, he noticed her husband, woo was an in-
firm old man, sitting behind Me door, and asked it
he 17.1onged to any Benefit Seciety ? as it was a pity
to we an old man like him in want of support. She
feinted that she was old herself ; but, as long as she
WAS able to provide for their bare living, she should
be ashamed to deprive those who wanted it more, by
iipplyiag tor relict. l le replied, the Club to which he
hilonged was on a liberal scale, at the head of which
WAS the Prince Regelit ; and if she would put up a
little money and go with him, he would procure her
eight or ten pounds.. She then put about 12 in sil-
ver and two Al notes into a small bag, which the pri-
soner took in his hand. He then wrote a paper,
which was wholly unintelligible to her, but which
she signed, as her claim. Wkde putting on her cloak,
the prisoner again took up the bag, and she thought
his band trembled as he said it down.. Suspectics

hint, therefore, she peeped into the bag, and missing
the notes, she enqu.red after thdm ? He said, you
will find them in a bit of paper in the bag ; and while
she was drawing out the bit of paper, which he eon-
Dived. to put in, the prisoner ran out of the shop.—
She instantly called out —" Stop thief ?" and he was
arrested in his flight, by a butcher ; and, upon her
coming to the spot, he -took the notes from his hat,
and said—" There, my good old lady, you don't sup-
pme I meant to rob you !" He was then given in
charge of an officer.—Guilty.
R. Parch was found guilty of embezzling £BO, the

The following instance of the fatal effects of
drinking occurred lag week to one of the sccin;th mul-
tittvk : a person in the parish of Lethnot fearing a
visit from the Excisemen, concealed a cask of whisky
in his pig-sty. The pig, perhaps, conceiving this was
the only chance of tasting a liquor so much admired
by the human species, imme.hately set about re-
moving the covering, which having accomplished,
he abstracted the cork, by the help of the cloth which
enveloped it. Ile drank ab•au a pint of the wh:sky,
which put him in such n flaw of spirits, that it was
dangerous to approach him. At las:, the usual ef-
fects of inebriety appealed, ar.d down he fell.—Milk,
oil, Ste. were poured down his throat, but in vain :
the poor pig fell a sacrifice to drinking ardent spirits
to excess.

Last week, Gaffers Brown, and Morgan, and a
woman, commonly called Old Betty, casually met at
the Royal Oak, at Hawkifurst, for a drop of consfore,
and on reckoning up their ages, they together amoun-
ted to 21i6 years ; the men being each S 7 and Betty 'd.
The small-pox is making dreadful ravages in the
neighbourhood of Liverpool. In one parish, a few
miles from that place, neatly sixty childree have re-
cently perished by it.
It must be gratifying to the country to hear, that
Dr. Coorett, MD. with a Society of eminent Sur-
rons, of thirty years experience in Strictures, De-
'
&c. have established a Medical Board, (to
whom all cases are relerred) at Cl-arlotte-house, Great
Charlotte-sweet, opposite ROWLAND HILL'S Chapel,
Blatkftiar's-toad, London ; where the public are
lieved from the most dangemus diseases without con-
finement. The Institution claims the attention of
those who may have attempted the cure of themselves,
or who have been so blind and unfottur.atr as to
consult men ignorant of so important a branch of
the profession, whose improl:er treltment has ;Ler-
curialiaed thousands, and brought many to an un-
timely end; eruptions on the head, face, an I body, sore
.eyes, throat, mouth, and nose, vertigo, noise in theears,
Mess, dimness of sight, often ending in blindness ;
strictures,pains in the heati and limbs, frequently mis
taken forrhenmatism ; extreme weakness in the knees,
swelled ankles, with a general debility, &c. are only a
few of the dreadful symptoms which frequentlyappear
years after, and too often embitter the matrimonial
state. Messrs. COOPER and Co. arc consulted daily by
all ranks of people, from eight till ten, or by letter, in-
closing a fee (for no others are answeted), stet uh
their case; when medicine and the best advice is sent
to all parts of the kingdom. They also cute the
piles and fistula, without burning or cutting, and
give advice gratis, on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sue-
day mornings, till twelve o'clock.
