The prosecutor had been induced to accompany the,
prisoner home, when she was joh,Cd by two other per-
sons, who assisted in detaining him, an,l t.dcing from his
person the money in que-lion. After ill treating him in
this manner, he was suffaed to depart, and irumedi-
ately applied at the watch-house for assistance, which
having obtained, he returned, and secured the prisoner,
but the others bad escaped, nor have they since been
heard of. _ _

Mr. Justice BAYLEY intimated to the Jury, that as
force had been used, there could be no doubt of the

intentbn of the parties ; and the case being fully proved,
the Jury found her Guilty—Death.
Charles Elinsley, aged 70, was indicted for entering,
on the 15th of May, the dwelling of Robert Biagges,
and stealing rroperty to some amount.
The prisoner pleaded extreme distress.
Mr. ARAWIN said, the features of this case were the
' same as that of a burglary.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but strongly Iv-
commended him to mercy.

Samuel Taylor was indicted for a burglary in the
dwelling-house of John King, in White-street, St. Mat-
thew, Bethnal Green. It appeared from the evidence
of John King, who is a brewer's servant, and his wife,
that they left home on the '2s:h of December last, at
five o'clock, and returned at eleven, when they found
that they bad been robbed of a 101. note, four sove-
reigns, '2B shillings in silver, and a quantity of wearing
apparel. After the robbery and burglary were clearly
proved, a witness named John Clayton, and whom it
appeared by his own confession, had been tried for a
highway robbery, and had kept out of the way le;t he
should be taken up for this, was examined, who at-
tempted to fix the crime upon the prisoner.
Chyton deposed, that lion? keeping out of the way,
.and being out of work, he had become distressed, and
applied to the prisoner for some relief, believinL, him
to be concerned. Ile detailed the particulars (...)1 the
robbery, which, he said, the prisoner had told him;
that four were concerned; that after they had broken

......
the. shutters, they saw a light in the opposite house, and
that they said the .plan was spoiled ; that they went
away, leaving one to watch ; that he joined them and
two others at a public-house, saying all was right ;
that six went back, the prisoner going in first ; and tha
they then took the money and other.things mentioned.;
Goodwin arrested the prisoner, who denied his name,
and gave him over to Puwis—the latter officer had re-
ceived from the wife of the prosecutrix, a dark lant•
horn, a crow-bar, and an lion heel-piece of a shoe
found in the house after the robbery. Many persons
had been lit the house before the heel-piece had been
picked up. When Powii, the officer, took the prisoner
first before the Magistrate, on the 25th Api il, he had
on shoes, one of which had lost an iron heel-piece and
was nailed, the other, according to the opiiiiou of the
officer, being the fellow to that found in the house. Upon
the prisoner being committed for ti ial at a further exa•
mination, the shoes were taken from him, and the iron
heel-piece was gone, which prisoner said he had kicked
off, and had lost in the prison, but which could not
be found.
The prisoner denied any knowledge of the robbery-,
had never left the neighbourhood, and had been con.
tinually seen by the prosecutor and others.
After a few minutes' consideration, the Jury returned
a verdict of—Not Guilty.
