Baron GRAHAM summed up the evidence with his

tion, found the prisoner—Guilty—Death.
Harriet Collis:, a woman of the town, was capitally
indicted for stealing in the dwelling-house of Patrick
Donnelly a £4O Bank of England note, the property
of a young woman, named 'Elizabeth Tanner. The
fact of tile robbery was clearly proved, but the pro-
prietorship of the house by Patrick Donnelly not being
made out to the satisfaction of the Court, the prisoner
was found guilty of larceny only. •
Twelve were convicted of felony, via. John Goodwin, for steal

from the perscn of a Jew, named Samuel Barnett, a
family man, and the father of five children, on the
13th of November last, at a house of ill-fame in St.
Giles's. The prosecutor, however, prevaricated so
scandalously in his evidence, that the Court rejected
his testimony, and the Jury found the prisoners—
Not Guilty.

OLD BAILEY.

Bow-STREET.--Last night Patrick Daly, the watch-
man who has been in custody on the charge of being
in company with a person who robbed Carolina Wil-
cox of .0200 and a bundle of clothes, as she was go-
ing off by the Liverpool coach for Ireland, on the 19th
of last month, underwent another examination, and
was fully committed for trial.
THAMES PoLicF..—Yesterday Elizabeth Weer was
fully committed, charged with returning from trans-
portation
before the expiration of her time from New
South Wales, wli ere she was doomed for fourteen
years, but only served seven. A strong desire to see
her children caused her to take the resolution to come
to her native country in the most artful manner.
MANSION-House.—Yesterday Sam. Sage was charged
, by one of the City Patrole, with having in his posses-
( lion a large quantity of plums, which appeared, by
• the prisoners confession, to be the property of his
master ; but, as the latter declined swearing to them,
the prisoner was convicted in the penalty of 40s. and
committed to Bridewell till the fine is paid, under the
Bum-boat Act.
A German sailor was committed to the Compter,
I for refusing to go on board an Indiaman, after receiv-
ing RI as impress money.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

HICK'S HALL, DECEMBER 7.
THE KING V. JOHN TIM:.
This was an indictment which excited a considera-
ble degree of public interest, as it will probably pre-
vent in future a practice which has been for a long
time adopted in gross violation of public decency,
that of bathing publicly in the New River. The in-
dictment charged the Defendant with unlawfully ex-
posing himself naked by bathing in the New River
publicly, in presence of divers persons in a certain
place contiguous to Highbury-place.
It appeared in evidence that the Defendant, who is
an inhabitant of Islington, went on the evening of the
29th of June last, for the purpose of bathing in the
New River, at the foot of the notice post which had
been erected for the purpose of warning the public'
against bathing in that river ; that two constables had
told him at the time that he ought not to do so ; but
that tke Defendant insisted he had a right to do so,
and would assert it, and accordingly stripped and
bathed, and afterwards ran naked for some distance
in the field, in front of the houses of Highbury-place..l
The Court, on summing up the evidence, reprobated
the practice that had so long prevailed, as highly sub-
versive of public decency, and contrary to law. The
Jury found the Defendant guilty, and the Court sen-
tenced the Defendant to two months imprisonment in
Newgate ; and declared that they inflicted so mild a
punishment, only in consideration that it was the first
offence of this kind brought before them ; and that
probably many offended in this respect through igno-
rance of the law_; but that, in future, should such a HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW.
