OLD BAILEY.

. Yesterday Susannah Eaton was indicted for stealing,
in the house of Dorothy Graham, in the neighbour-
hood of Bedford-square, a number of spoons, and
other articles of plate.
Wm. Isaacs, Mrs. Graham 's butler, stated, that, on
the morning of the 2341 of February, at about half
past one o'clock, the family being in bed, witness let
himself out by tl,e area, and picked up the prisoner at
the corner of Plumtree-street, St. Giles's, and pressed
her to accompany him to the house of his mistress,
which she acceded to. Witness took her into his
pantry, and in the morning, when he awoke, she had
fled, with the articles stated in the indictment. She
could only have got out of the house by the street
door, which was found open in the morning.—Wit-
ness had been imprisoned on suspicion of being COl3.
cerncd in the robbery.
' S. Lavender, an ufEcer, called'at a public house in
White Horse-yard, Drury-lane, in two days after
this robbery had been committed, and found the Psi-
Boner there, in company with three other women.—
He charged them with having stolen articles about
them ; and on taxing the prisoner closely, he disco.
vered a change of countenance4and, on searching lief,
he found the plate wrapped up in a dirty towel, and
took her into custody.
In defence, the prisoner said; Isaacs had promised
r her a douceur of ,ss. kut when he got to the kouse, he
1 ' had only a bad shilling, and he gave her some brandy,
and in the morning he gave her the plate wrapped
up in a towel, she being ignorant of what the towel
contained. Isaacs was interrogated as to these asser-
tions, when he denied the statement, but said, he
had given her some shrub and brandy. The Jury
I found the prisoner Guilty of stealing in a dwelling-
, house to the amount of 40s.—Death. •

G. Little was capitally convicted of stopping ----
MdCartey on the highway, putting him in fear, and
taking from him a watch seal, on the night of th! 7th
ult. The prosecutor was returning from Tethil-street
to his residence in King-street, when the prisoner
overtook him, and they got into conversation, when
on a sudden, the former struck him violently, and
snatched at his watch, but the ribband broke, and he
got possession of the seal only. The prosecutor
seized him by the collar, and called out murder, when
a person came up to his assistance, and the prisoner
was secured.

The person aho so assisted. proved that the priso-
ner struck the prusecutor in his presence, and also
that he .had p:)ses4on of the seal.

Eleven were convicted of felony, viz. hue Wilson,
for stealing three silk gowns, the property of Mar-
garet Woodward ; Mary S. Julian, for stealing five
shirts, the property of Jane Barrett ; J. Darke and

J. .Paley was indicted for stopping H. Barnett on
the highway, and taking from him a watch, on the
20th ult. The prisoner was in company with another
pergola, whom the prosecutor knew, entering as sailors
into the East India Company's service, and the pro-
secutor procured one Solonions to be bound for their
attendance, having received two months pay in ad.
vance, whilst the prosecutor was to have £G for
crimpage. The two men got into St. Giles's where
they both escaped amongst some Irishmen ; but the
prosecutor again fell in with the prisoner, who
knocked him down, and robbed him of his w.ttch.—
The evidence not being satisfactory, the prisoner was
Acquitted.

Maria Withers and D. Brown were also acquitted;
but the latter remains on another indictment. •

GLOUCESTER ASQIZES. —The trial of T. M. Brone-
vile, for the wilful murder of James Bryant, his ap-
prentice, about ten years of age, by violently beating
him, commenced on Friday' morning, and occupied
the attention of the Court about six hours. The
Judge summed up the evidence, and made some brief
remarks on the case to the Jury, who, after deliberat-
ing about five minutes, returned a verdict of Guilty,
and he was sentenced to be executed on Monday, and
his body given for dissection. He has since, how-
ever, been reprieved.
UNfox-H A L L.—Edevard Sweet, the man in custody
on suspicion of having clandestinely dispOsed of a
child entritsted to his care by its friends, to be taken
down to Bristol, was again brought up yesterday.—
Since his examination on Saturday, the Magistrate
has received a-letter in answer to the one written to
the publican at Reading, where the prisoner said he
had left the child, confirming the truth of his story,
and stating further, that the landlord kept him for se-
veral days, when he was fortunately seen by the Com-
manding Officer of a regiment at that time lying at
Reading, who taking a fancy to him, relieved the
landlord from his burthen, and humanely took the
child home : he has since sent him to a boarding
school, and declared his intention of providing for
him in future. Upon this statement Sweet, after re-
ceiving a suitable admonition from the Magistrate,
was discharged.
The female who was so severely wounded and
bitten by a man in a mail-coach, between Brighton
and Chichester, is his wife, and the name of the
unfortunate man is Aaron Frith. It appears that
he had pursued the avocation of a smith, in Lon-
don, until losses in trade deprived him of the means
of carrying on his business, which preyed upon his
mind, and greatly impaired his health. About two
months since, he lett London, with his wife and
child, for Brighton, in the hope of repairing his
weakened constitution, and of improving his circum-
stances, if possible, in a pecuniary way. From hence,
about a week or ten days ago, he had travelled
alone to Portsmouth, to seek tor employment ; but
being unsuccessful, he was returning hither, when
illness compelled him to lay up at Arundel, where,
in conscoolence of a letter, his wife joined him. They
were returning to their residence in that town, when
the dcplorable•catas6yophe above described occurred.
