THE SWIM SAILOR.
Robert Howell was indiaed tor Reeling a bundle,
containing wearing apparel; and alfo a (urn of mo-
ney, amounting to 71. and upwards, the property of
Francis Cooke, the blind failnr, of whole examina-
tion, before the Magiltrate, we gave fame particulars
in a former Paper.
Mr. Metal:, in a mnft impreffive and animated
manner, fhortly Rated the cafe, on the part of the
profecution.
The Profeentor being permitted by the Court to
tell his !tory in his own way, related it nearly as fol-
lows—
" Pleafe your Worfhip, my name is Frank Cooke:
I have ferved his Majelty for many years, and have
Peen fome hard fervice before now ; you fee that
mall.- (pointing to a sneak over his right eye).—
About five years ago we engagedwith a French frigate,
and when the had (truck we went to board her;
like a treacherous enemy, as the always was, when
we got on deck, they attacked us, and in the fight I
was (truck there (pointing) with a boarding
pike: it entered my head, and I fell overboard. On
being taken up, (even fplinters mixed with pieces. of
my hat were taken out of my (kull, and I immedi-
ately 101 l the tight of that eye ; the lots of the other
foon followed, and I became blind, but remained
nn board as Captain's Mate. The prifoner, Robert
Howell, I had known for feveral years ; we were
meffinates together, and intimately acquainted ;
when I was about to be difcharged from the hofpital-
(hip, at Sheernefs, the Doftor, knowing we were
old friends, appointed Robert Howell to be my guide
and affiftant as far as Brittol, whence we were going
to our friends ; we left the Chip in a boat, and we
landed fomewhre in London, but I could not tell
where. We had not gone far through the greets,
when we came to a gate way, at the corner of the
Ilreet, and he took my (lick from me,tore My pocket,
where I had my money fewed up, off my jacket, and
ran away with my bundle of clothes. After re-
maining on the (pot for Lear two hours, I made my
way as well as I could. As I went along, I fell foul
of a poor woman's tea-table, at the corner of a (tree,
and had like to throw the poor creature's tea-things
all about, but, I thank Heaven, I did her no mil*
chief; however, I told her my lamentable dory, and
the pitied me a poor little ragged boy came up, and
(he begged of him to conduit me to Bow-firtet ; the
poor dear fellow led me along, and when I told him
my (tory, the good-natured foul put a penny-piece
into my hand; we went along until I found myfelf
on Bowdlreet Office Reps. ' Here's the place you
will be fure to get redrefs,' Paid the boy. There was
no one at the office then, In I anted for the next pub-
lic houfe, and he brought me to one jolt oppofite.—
• I mule now leave yon,' lays he. I was lorry for
it ; but, do you know, he loon came hack again ;
and the dear generous fellow pin another penny•
piece into my hand, and bid me good bye. Poor
fellow ! I null never forget his generufity. I then
got fome porter with the money he gave me, and
foon after was brought to the office, where I told my
Rory. I have lived like a Prince ever fence." His
bundle was then produced, and being diked. Could
he identify his clothes? he anfwered, Let me fee,
I will foon thew you." Then taking a blue (potted
handkerchief, be felt the feveral corners of it, and
holding it up, See there, Gentlemen, there's a darn
I made with my own hands, with white thread, its a
clumfy thing" lie was then given a pair of panta-
loons, and cffiferved, Yes, yes, thete are my pan-
taloons, I know them ; when I was Captain's Mate
I ufed to wear them ; they were tile) long for me.
and I cut them Rion; with the pieces I cut off. I
ftrengthened the infide of the thighs :.fee here they
' arc, and my own clumfy wink." Hi. trot-viers were
then produced. it Now, I know there, they are my
dirty trawlers I threw off the day I left the thip, and
having turned them Wide our, I bolded them up
Rocking fafition to preeert their dirtying my other
clothes; if yoo'll look, you'll fee 1."
When the Priffiner was alked, would he elle him
any quellion ? he atifwered in the negative, and the
Wind man immediately exclaimed, " That's he, that's
his voice ! I know it well! He a Britiffi failor! Oh,
no! not he, indeed !"
The other wiene;fcs proved that on the aid of Sep-
tember halt, the Ptifoner went to the White Lion
Inn, in Tonley-flrect, in the Borough, and brought
with him a hag containing wearing apparel: be gave
the landlord a five pound note, two of one pound
each, and fome charge, to k:ep for him. When he
was apprehended about a week afterwards by the
BowAreet Officers, he acknowledged he left the
hofpitalahip in company with ' a blind failor, who
,
parted ti em him at the corner of a beet, and he did
not fez him afterwards. This was the Prifoner's de-
, fence.

The CHAIRMAN fail, he would not trouble the
Jury with fumming np the evidence, it was pertettly
clear and circuinflantial, and 'hey were folly compe-
tent to judge of the fans. lVithont any hcfitation,
the Jury found the Pr:dtter—Guilty.
The CHAIRMAN, in pairing lenience, obferved, that
it %Sat a cafe of the mutt aggravated nature that ever
came tr_ore a Court; he could not espial tLc fen-
fv-ions he flit at the inhuman and abominable con
duct of the Priluner; nor could any üblercations of
his imptcfs it ttronger on the Court, than he evi-
dence of the blind tailor birniell. The Prifooer was
then fentenced to (even years traurportati,in, and in
the mean tine to be coati:lord to hard labour in the
Houle of Cortcaion, at Ncxinnt'n.

of Junelalts ab m. wits rttturiag Ito* 4.1011‘h with

a female friend, abort five o'clock in the afternoon,
the painter (who was well known 14 the nick name
of gage) eroded the greet from his own hnufe, and,
feizing her in a moll violent manner, with one hand
round her neck, and the other round her wailt, at-
tempted to kifs her. She immediately (bricked aloud;
a Mr. Newman came up to her afGßance, and extri-
cated her from the rough efribraces of the prifoner ;
her clothes were much Aura and foiled by him, be
being all over filth and dirt : a crowd of people then
affembled about him, and the prifoner called out to
them, 4, Leave her alone, (he's my lawful wife, and
I'll do what I pleafe with her ;" and he Rill perfilted
in continuing with her. He faid, he had had his na-
tivity c.,11, and (he certainly was to be his lawful
wife. He had been put ruing this fort of condo& for
near five years, continually perfecuting her, and fre:
quently making ufe of opprobrious words, and inde-
cent exprellions.
On her crofs-examination by Mr. Not.aw, fhe de-
nied having any intercourfe or acquaintance with
the prifoner, further than ferving him, as (he would
the other cultomers at her father's (hop, and thanking
him as he went away, in the ufual manner ; he lived
a few doors from her father's ; but as to the extent of
Isis pratuice in (having, (be knew nothing about it.
Mifs Lucy, the young tidy who had accompanied
her from church, and Mr. Newman, who refctied
her, both corroborated her tetlimony as far as related
to the aWault.
Mr. Sadler, the father, who called the prifnner Ja-
go, Rated the various and repeated infults offered by
the prifoner to his daughter, but forbore to repeat the
indecent language he hid made ufe of. On his crnfs-
examination, as to the fum of tool. as a portion with
his daughter, he was fo indignant, that his paflion
made his anfwers unintelligble.
Mr. NOLAN, in a very poetical and lively addrefs,
entered into the defence of the prifoner. He obferv.
ed he was a poor penny barber, w!io had been (mitten
by the refplendent chartrfs of Mir: Sadler ; her eyes
to him, poor fellow, had proved (harper than his own
raz.ira, and in (pite of all his attentions, and in deft.
:ince of his long and unalterable attachment, (he had
the cruelty at tail to leave him in the fad:: as had
been Rated, his nativity had been call, and what be•
tween love and witchcraft, the lady and the fortune•
teller, he had been in tome meafine deprived ofintellee.
Love, dire love, was the cattle of his folly, and his ie-
fidence was appropriate with his prefcnt (late of mind.
Love had its tweets and its thorns, and what was to
the lady an inconvenience, was to his poor client a
dreadful misfortune ; for, inßead of the foil and
filken chain: of Hymen, which he fought, he met
with far different ones in the gaol where he had been
confined for fourteen days, not having been able to
procure bail. Upon the whole of the cafe, he fub-
mitted, it was filch a one as the Jury would feel
thensfelves juflifi tblc a acquitting the prifoner of, but
fhotild they think otherwite, he trutled in the lenity
of the court. _ _

The Jury found the plifoner Guilty ; the Court
obferving, that nn perfon, of the appeatanee of the
profecuttir, fhould be perfecuted by the infuhs or a
perfon of the prifoner's defciiption ;—he WAS fen-
tented to one fortnight's imprifonment, and to rind
fecuritr for his future good behaviour.

vouring to efcape, Miles filed at him, and I idled the
