OLD BAILEY. SIMONS.

Friday, Patrick Cannon, aged SS, was indicted on
a charge of bigamy.
Mr. John Taylor, Parish Clerk of St. Martin in the
Fields, proved the prisoner's marriage on the 10th of
November, 1809, to Sarah Davies.
Mary Curry proved the going of the parties to St.
Martin's Church, and that she cooked and partook
of the wedding dinner. She knew•him before he was
married to Sally, and since.
Other witnesses proved the parties living together
as man and wife. _ _ _

Ann Clark, an interesting young female, deposed
to her having been married to the prisoner on the
25th of July, 1818, at Christ Church, in the city of
London. He was married to her by the name of
James Cannon. She was a servant in a respectable
family, and by her industry and care had saved £5B.
The prisoner lived with her four months, and having
dissipated her little fortune, and reduced her to
poverty and wretchedness, deserted her in a state of
pregnancy. She, in consequence, became charge-
able to the pariah of St. Andrew, Holborn, and the
beadle of that parish apprehended prisoner in Drury-
lane. • The prosecution was instituted by the Parish.
The prisoner called Eleanor Bird, of No. 1, West-
street, Smithfield,- who said the prisoner's name was
not Patrick, but James Cannon. She had seen Sarah
Davies with Patrick Cannon. _

F.ztraordinary Consequence to the Feathered Race, from the
heavy Rains of Sunday week at night and Monday morning :

the Middle Temple, picked up 17 dead sparrow* (some of them

Us own door, and three in the garde:a. -Ali% Hopper has been
gardener to the Society upwards of 50 years, and no such cir-
cumstance had occurred during that period of tune.

Sarah Davies, the former wife, being called, did
not answer. But it appeared that it had been con-
trived to get her confined in Strand-lane watch-house,
on a charge of disorderly conduct. A strong band
of witnesses was tailed to prove that the prisoner was
not Patrick Cannon who married Sarah Davies.—
Some tough swearing ensued, but the case was not in
the slightest degree affected by it.
The CommoN SERJEANT charged the Jury, who,
without a moment's hesitation, pronounced a verdict
of—Guilty.
The Commox SERJEANT then addressed the pri-
soner on the almost unparalleled infamy of his con-
duct, in which were combined the crimes of perjury,
seduction, and robbery. He telt it to he his duty to
sentence him to the severest punishment the law au-
thorised him to inflict, Transportation for seven years.

Jaite Hankins and Mary Gibson, two street-walkers,
were convicted of stealing; a watch from the person
of Thomas Griffiths, in Gray's Inn lane.

Saturday, Nancy Darter, a young female, elegantly
dressed, and evidently of superior manners, was in.
dieted capitally, for stealing £8 in notes, one guinea,
and Wearing apparel, the property of C. Falck, and
some silver spoons, the property of W. Ball, in the
house of the said W. Ball.

The first witness called for the prosecution was C,

Falck, the prosecutor ; he was a well•looking young
man, and very smartly dressed. The moment he
rno.inted the witness box, the prisoner shrieked out
Oh, gracious GOD! is this possible !" and was
nearly tainting. She was ordered a chair. Falck
:ben, with a degree of flippancy which called forth
the repeated animadversions of the Judge, proceeded
with his evidence. He lived in the house of Mr. W.
Ball, No. 2, Little Union-skeet, Moorfields. The
plisuner had lived with him About a week previous
to the robbery. They lived as man and wife, but
be never authorized her to take the money or wear-
ing apparel in question. He never said to the people
of the house whether she was his wife or not. She
hired the lodging, and he believed she represented
herself to be his wife. She laid out the money for
provisions, and he gave her money every day, or so,
a few shillings at a time. IL: had known her three
months before she lived with him, and got acquainted
with her at her father's house, where he was at work
for some days. On the 24th of June he went oet,
leaving everything safely lucked up, and when be
returned in the evening, he • found the door of his
apartments locked, and the prisoner gone.. lie got
in, and found that all the property mentioned in
the indictment was gone. He found, the prisoner

house, in Chartershouse-lxne,- and Brown, the OJE--
ter, whom he took with him, searched her, and
found pawnbroker's duplicates for his missing clothes.
There were one waistcoat, two pair of pantaloons,.
and two coats.

We are authorized to state, that Sir FRANCIS Co-
LomurNE DANIEL, M.D. his accepted the appoint-
ment of Treasurer to the Medical Board established
by Messrs. COOPER and Co. of Charlotte House,
Great Charlotte street, Surrey.—Messrs. COOPER and
Co. have frequently inserted letters from various
individuals who have been radically cured, nrt
only of Ruptures, but of other dangerous diseases,
too often deemed incurable by Professional Men,

ford unfortunately lost his life in a few hours, by
a strangulated Hernia ; Mr. Mills, of the Kent-
road, also lost his life in a few hours ; Mr. Shear-

and was cured ; and many, many others, whose

not at all." He added, that the prisoner gave up a
pocket-book with a LI note, and some duplicates,
when she was taken.

The witness, in his cross-examination by Mr. AN-
DREWS, acknowledged that he had taken away the
prisoner from her father's house, where she had been
living in comfort and reputation. lie was a jour-
neyman carpenter. He said he gave her money
every day, but no one ever saw him give her any.—
He denied having pledged the articles himself.—Die

unfeeling. manner j.
The witness then went on to state, that he had, at
the request of the prisoner, visited her while in con-
finement. His only object in visiting her was -vith
a hope of discovering where the remainder of his
property was. He never stated to her that his object
was to get rid of her, and if she would go out of his
way, she would hear no more of him or this prosecu-
tion. He would swear he never said so. He visited
her three times in the Giltspur-street Compter, and
once in Newgate. He paid 12s. nut of 30s. for lodg-
ings at Mr. Ball's. He gave her some money, but
did not know how much. He was not at all ashamed
at taking her away from her father's house. She en-
ticed him !—(A murmur ran through the Court).
The COMMON SERJEANT" And are you really not
ashamed of the conduct you have pursued towards
this young woman ?"
Falck.—" Not at all, my Lord."
The COMMON SERJEANT.—" I have seen a
.great
many witnesses get into that box, but I never, in my
whole life, saw one whose impudence and audacity
equalled your's."
Mrs. Ball, the landlady of the house where the
parties lodged, was called, and identified the spoons
pawned by the prisoner. They came as a new-mar-
ried couple ; and the prisoner told her that she was
married without her father's consent.
Brown, the officer, said, that when he found the
prisoner, he told her she was charged with a felony ;
and she immediately said she would give up all she
Lind. After this wa4 done, the prosecutor desired to

Falck asked if he might take his clothes.
The COMMON SERJEANT said, he was certainly en-
titled to them ; but, in his opinion, the Jury had, by
their verdict, expressed an opinion that they were
pawned with his consent, and therefore the pawn-
brokers would perhaps demand the payment of the
sums advanced upon them. He (the Common Ser-
jeant) should certainly not resist if they did.
The pawnbrokers took away the clothes.
The moment the Learned Judge had quitted the
Bench, a loud hissing commenced, and the prose-
cutor was followed into the yard adjoining the Ses-
sions House, by a large crowd, who hissed and hooted,
and at length the feeling rose to'such a height, that.
Mr. Wontner, the City Marshal, and several officers,
were obliged to interfere, and they conducted him into
the Court until the crowd had dispersed. A stronger
or more general feeling of. indignation has seldom
been witnessed.

John Long was 'capitally indicted for cutting and
stabbing George North, with intent to do him some
grievous bodily harm.
A constable stated that the prosecutor had absented
himself for several days, and was not to be found.
He was called upon his recognizance.
Anne Hickman deposed, that she lived in the house
with the prisoner, and one evening about three weeks
ago she saw -North and the prisoner and his wise
talking together in the back yard. They were con-
sulting about pai ting. Previous to this, prisoner's
wife had gone to live with North, and she had come,
on this occasion to demand her clothes. The prisoner
told her if she came up stairs she should have them,'
and they all came together into the passage. Witness
went down stairs, where she heard no quarrelling nor.
wrangling, until she saw North's dress bloody, and
heard him exclaim «I am a done man." The pri-
soner at this time had a knife in his hand, and she
called to him, a for GOD'S sake give me the knife,"
and he shut-it up and gave it her. He then pushed
his wife up stairs. The knife was rather bloody, and
North bad cuts in.his face and hands : he was taken
to the Doctor.

J. Betts, a constable, stated, that he went to ap-
prehend the prisoner, and found the door fastened.
tie broke it open, and found him in bed with his
wife, who was very drunk; the prisoner was sober.
North had a cut across the cheek from the ear to the
mouth, a cut on the upper lip, a stab in the cheek,
another cut in the wrist, and one from the wrist to
the point of the middle finger.
The prisoner in his defence said, that the witness
Hickman had enticed his wife out to drink, and per-
suaded her to go to live with North. He went to
fetch her home, and North told him if he touched
her he would break every hone in his skin, and did
actually seize him by the throat when he refused his
very equitable proposition to toss up a halfpenny to
know who should have his wife.
The prisoner was acquitted.
Edward Charles Tierney was capitally indicted for
stealing on board a certain vessel, lying in the River
Thames, a dressing-case, value lA, a silver barrel,
value £7, and wearing apparel and other goods to a
large amount, the property of D. C. Grass, and an-
other. It appeared in evidence, that the vessel from
which the goods in question had been stolen, was a
cutter, laden with a valuable cargo, bound to the
coast of Africa, and was at the tame of the robbery
lying in the London Docks. The prisoner, who had
held a better situation in life, was out of employ-
ment, and king known to Captain Grass, who com-
manded the cutter, he had appointed him his cabin
boy, with a promise that, if possible, he would pro-
cure an appointment foi him at Goree, or some
other place. A few days before the vessel was to
sail, the prisoner, who had the charge of her, was
seen by a sailor boy in another ship laying alongside
of the cutter, shaving himself with a new razor, and
having before him a superb dressing-case. He asked
him where he got it? and he said his mother had it
made for him, and he
.sltewed the boy two magnets
and several other articles of an expensive description.
This boy communicated what he had seen, and an
examination of the cargo took place, when it was
discovered thy; several of the packages in the bold
