On Monday myself was politely invited
To go to a ball on the top of Blackheath;
I was told that with beauty I'd then be delighted,
And must tremble in love, in spite of my teeth;
So I dreu'd, by my glass, till I look'd like Apollo,
And pet on a mike that was perfectly killing.
Made sure that a dozen of conquests would follow,
And then, heigho ! for the cooing and billing.
Ti lours, ti Inure, dam dee.
Oh! the dear little creatures were daintily dust all,
To choose which was loveliest only was puzzling ;
Nut an elderly lady but look'd like a vestal,
Igor a young one that was not an Angel in muslin.
I felt myself lost in a crowd of Divinities,
I found that my heart was beginning to tingle;
Thinks Ito myself, my dear Ladies, what sin it is
That one of the party should ever be *lngle.
TI loura, ti lours, dum dee.
So I made up my mind, ere the evening was over, k‘
To some pretty partner to make my advances,
A waltz or quadrille has fix'd many a lover,
And Cupid is famous fur flirting at dances.
Then I gave my fair partner a look like alove letter,
And verily thought the expression had caught her, '
But my friend wish'd me joy, said my next hit might
prove better,
For the lady was blest with six sons and a daughter!
Ti 'cora, ti loura, dum dee.
As soon as I heard it my heart was my own again,
For I couldn't maintain a whole set of quathillers
But, in the next dance, oh! the wanton was gone again,
For the Ball-room was full of these pretty men-killers.
The Spanish dance tempted to cast a fond look again,
My precautions again were beginning to vanish,
Bat oty friend spied my meaning, and brought me to book
again,
For my partner, he told me, had none of the Spanish.
Ti loura, ti lours, dum dee.
Oh! Emily, Anna, Kate, Fanny, and Maly,
Amelia, and Lucy, and Bessy, and Catherine—
Not one of you present but look'd like a fairy,
And set a fond Irishman's heart a wool-gathering.
'Twas Oberon's Court, at the Green Man assembled,
And ye were the sprites that his lady Queen flab sent ;
With affection I glow'd, and with reverence trembled,
For all who were present, and one who was absent.
Ti loura, ti louts, dum dee.
Then the music; so sweet, kept my ears in the pillory,
Tire fiddles were all of them genuine Cremonas,
And the Colonels and Captains of Royal Artillery,
Were gentle as Junta, and brave as Bellonas ;
When all the quadrilles in the world had been given us,
Thou the kind-hearted folks, lest the dance might
fatigue: us,
Gave us plenty of tea and new rolls, to enliven us,
For the Ladies all vote it far better than negus.
Ti lowa, ti !ultra, duet dee.
Now, long live the Ladies who visit the Green Man,
Wiv, s, widows, and maidens, long life to theta all ;
And if ever you're seized with a fit of the sph:en, man,
Pray po,t to Blackheath, and make ()he at the Bait !

WINTER 11011 E CIRCUIT.

LEWES, DECEMBLAt e 4.

Edward Hedger was indicted for having, in the
night of the 14th of November, burglariously broken
open and entered a hen-house, part and rarcel of the
dwelling-house of Robert Fuller, in the parish of
Tarring!Neville, and stolen therefrom four ducks
and four chickens, the property of the said Robert
Fuller.—The only interest in this cake depended on
the question whether or not the prisoner was liable
to a conviction for the burglary, or merely for the
felony. It appeared that the hen-house in question
is separated from the dwelling-house by a barn, hut
the three buildings were connected, and were situ-
ated in a yard which was enclosed by a-brick wall,
mid it. was therefore laid down by his Lordship that
as the ten-house door opened into a yard, in which,
was situate the dwelling•house, both buildings being
enclosed within a wall, the breaking open such hen-
house in the night time, with intent to steal, consti•
tuted a burglary ; it appearing •also that the door
was merely on the latch, his Lordship inhumed the
Jury that raising the latch, with' intent to enter and
steal, was, in the eye of the law, equally a burglary
with the most forcibly breaking into a house. The
facts of the robbery having been fully proved, and
the Learned Judge having decided upon the two
points of law arising out of the case, the Jury found
a verdict of Guilty—Death.
Thomas Purser was indicted for having, on the 4th
of November, feloniously stolen a brown mare, the
hproper:), of Benjamin Challen, of Coker), near Mid-
orst, in this County. In this case it was proved that
the mare was taken out of Mr. Challen's stable (which
had been left upon the latch) in the night of the 4th
of November. On the ensuing day the prisoner took
her to Mr. Flamer Ferrell, an auctioneer, residing at
Lewes, for sale ; he said that he was a small farmer,
residing near Arundel ; Mr. Merrell sold the mare on
the sth of November to Mr. Eagles, a farmer, living
at Newhaven, and on the following day paid to pri-,
soner the proceeds, deducting for his commission ;
about a fortnight afterwards Air. Challen traced his'
mare to the possession of Eagles, through whose ex-
e: tions the prisoner was apprehended on the 24th of
November.

The prisoner denied being the person, and told a
long story about the nature of his employment on the
day the robbery was committed, but he did not call
any witnesses; and the Learned Judge having reca•
pitulated the evidence, the Jury returned a verdict
of Guilty—Death.
John Haywood stood charged with having, on the
22d of October, stopped Samuel Pettit on the high-
way, and feloni<•usly taken from his person, •a one
pound Bank of England note, a knife, a silver watch,
and some money, in silver turd copper, his property.
Samuel Pettit had been to Burwash on business, on
the day named in the indictment, and stopped, be-
tween six and seven o'clock in the evening, at a pub-
lic-huuse, kept by a man named Russell, where he
saw the prisoner, to whom he gave some beer, having
seen him before. Witness, accompanied by the pri-'
soner, left the house ; a man of the name of Dank=
burst was also with them, but he separated from
them before they had proceeded a quarter of a mile.
Prisoner then asked witness which way he was going?
to which he replied, " towards Warburton." Pri-
soner said he was going the same road. ♦Witness
asked him if he knew William 'lady, who lived some-
where along the road they were going? He replied
that he did. They then walked along till they came
to Morris's town, and the prisoner said Baldy lived.
there, and he would go and see if he was at home;
he shortly returned, and said Baldy was not there.—
Witness has since learnt that the house the prisoner
went to was his father's. They then walked about
three-quarters of a mile further, and the prisoner
said Bald), was often at a house close by, and he
