ENTENSIVi ROBBERY.

Yesterday, John Robinson, John Humphreys, and
Anus Frearson, were indicted for stealing a large
quantity of flour, the property of Mr. Stanbrough,
miller, at Isleworth. Humphreys and Robinson had
been several years in the service of the prosecutor,
who placed the most unbounded confidence in them.
In January last they were accidentally overheard
saying to some persons with whom they were in con-
versation, " We are doing very well at Mr. Stan-
t brough's, for we are making at the least 1.:900 a-year
by it." This was communicated to Mr.Stanbrough,
who would not, at first, pay any attention to it, •but
at length consented to have a watch kept upon them.
On the 29th of January they were ordered to put 20
sacks of flour into the waggon, to be conveyed to
Mr. Hawkes, a baker, at Kensington, which they did,
placing them in the usual way, in an upright posi-
tion, with the mouths downwards. Mr. Stanbrough
having sent them away upon some trifling errand,
examined the wagon before it started, and found.in
the front part of it, underneath; some tarpaulin and
hay, two extra sacks of flour. Upon this, hepro-
ceeded with Mr. Gammon, the kligh Constable, to
watch Robinson's conduct on the road. The latter
went to Kensington, delivered the 20 sacks of flour,
as directed, and then pulled out the two extra sacks,•
and placed them in the middle of the waggon, still
keeping them covered. When he had got some dis-
tance on his way homeward, he turned into a bye
lane, where the prisoner Frearson was seen to join
him, and throw into the waggon two empty sacks.
They both got in and emptied the flour from the two
hidden sacks into those which Frearson had brought.
Frearson lived in a small house at .Brentford, and
the waggon must pass his door on its way home.--L
They stopped afterwards at a public-house, where,
as they were drinking at the door, Frearson caught
sight of Mr. Gammon, and immediately went through
the house, and escaped,hy thp backdoor. Robinson
was suffered to go hdeie, and when he got to the
mill, he had the ingenuity to call out to Humphreys
in Mr. Gammon's hearing--" here are two extra
sacks put in by mistake; come and take them out."
When asked how he came- to empty the flout into
other sacks, be said, " Because his Master's had split
open." He and Humphreys were taken into custody,
and two days after the Officers apprehended Fie.ir-
son at his house, and found in his bed-room seven
sacks of flour, .and a great quantity more in other
parts of the premises. Frearson kept a small chand-
ler's shop, and did not profess to deal in flour. When
being conveyed to prison, he said he expected to be
taken, but he did not think he should come alone, for
there were a few others whom he thought would have
come with him. It was subsequently discovered, that
several other persons were concerned with him, and
were in the habit of meeting Robinson on the road,
as he had done. This practice had been carried on
for a great length of time, and Mr. Stanbrough stated,
that he had been a sufferer to an immense amount.

Before the•case went to the Jury, Mr. BRODER ICK,
Counsel fer.the prisoners, submitted, that the felony
(if any had been committed) was complete the mo-
ment the sacks were put into the waggon at Isle-
worth ; and. therefore, the prisoner Frearson could
not be convicted as a principal.
The COURT concurred in this opinion.
Mr. ALLEY.-=Then we must indict him for the fe-
lonious receiving; and he will have fourteen years,
instead of seven.

Humphreys and Robinson were found Guilty ; and
Frearsou was acquitted ; but was ordered to be de-
tained, to be tried for receiving the-flour, knowing
it to have been stolen. He is sixty-four years of age,
and paralytic.

James Harrard, a respectable-looking young man,
was indicted for embezzling lour pounds and.other
monies, the property of Ann'Holloway, his mistress.
The Jury found the prisoner--Guitty.
' Ralph Doughty, a young man, dressed in the first
style of fashion, was indicted for stealing a bonnet,
valued at El, the property of Mary Bunn.
Mary Bunn deposed, that last Sunday fortnight,
about ten at night, as she was passing through Thorn-
baugh•street, the prisoner cxnu up and snatched the
bonnet from her head.—lt appearing that it was
merely a drunken frolic, the prisoner was acquitted.
After leaving the Bar, the- prisoner went into Court
and paid the prosecutrix for her bonnet.

A Cuttiotis itosilay.—Friday,- Mr. Let; a to*
merchant, residing in Tavistock-street, had a
gold watch and its appendages stolen from Moir*
chamber. Suspecting one of his servant.girio.
gave her into custody of an officer, and she nasty
before the Magistrates at Bowdstreet Office, his ptiei:
cipal cause of suspicion being this: the girl, a dal
or two before the watch was lost, asked leave 16 wi
out; and on her return, she related to herfoge:
servints that the had been to a fortune-feler, As
(among many other curious matters relating to lcve.
Scc.)sinformed her that several things had been
from her master's house, and that something eke
would be taken away, for which she would get ire
sad trouble. This was certainly a very slight groi
of suspicion, but, at his particular request, the 44,
gistrate committed the simple pill for farthert2t,
mination ; and, in the meantime:Law:ills, dexribi„.
the watch, were distributed. In consequence at;sr
handbills, another prisoner was taken to llow.atert
Office yesterday, by George Donaldson, and Ar.
proved to be Julia Cuchi Dabroit, a native of Frances
who had been employed by the prosecutor to teatil
his daughter the French language ; and it was proved
that she sold the watch in question to a pawnbroker
and silversmit4, in Piccadilly, for six guineas. Tbit
eayose of course exonerated the poor fortune -boat
girl, and she was discharged ; Jclia each bit,
committed for further examination, under the i
that some of the other things taken away from
prosecutor's house may be ti aced to her.
