ADMlRenzr SESSIONS.
The Admiralty Sessions were held by adjourn-
ment yesterday, at the Old Bailey, before Sir WIL-
LIAM SCOTT, Chief Just ce of the Admiralty Court,
Baron CraAIIANI, and NlllllJustice
n,u•ctnr -
Captain ./?;:hare/ Siqbenson, of the Mentor West ,
Inch t ship, w as indicted on a charge for assaulting
Mary, the wife of Joint Popplewell, on board the said
ship, on her pasrage home, about 100 leagues at sea,`
heat the isl Ind of Barbadoes, in the West Indies,
• with intent forcibly and felonisauly to ravish the said
Mary Popplewell, icc.
It will be remembered by mast of our readers, that
Captain Stephenson undeeveent, a considerable time
since, a private examination before the Lord Mayor,
upon this charge, which was sustained chiefly by the
testimnny, of Mrs. Popplewell • the result of which
was; that he was held to-, bail, to a consi.,krable
Str/10911t, to take his tri ii for the said alleged offence.
AtAlie last Admiralty Sessions he a.tended to take
his trial ;' but it was put off on the application of
Counsel for the prosecutrix, founded on an affidavit,
that another Captain of a West Indiamaa, a neces-
sary and ,indispenseble witness for the prosecution,
was absent on a voyage; but that the prosecutrix had
every reason to expect he would attend at the next
Session, and that she would use her best endeavours
to procure his attendance: and, in case he should
not then be forthcoming, that Captain Stephenson
should not again be called on in this case, or detain..
eshfiom his avocations by any farther postponement;
and he renewed his recognizance accordingly.
The Clerk of the Arraigns haring now read the in-
dictment, neither witness nor Counsel appeared for the
prosecution, nor was any motive stated for such aban-
ilontrent of the case.
Baron GRAHAM then told the Jury, that as there
was no witness whatever, to sustain this prosecution,
thi.were bound to acquit the prisoner.
Clipt. Stephenson was accordinglk acquitt,d.
Capt. trillium' Porter stood indicted for a misdemea-
noir, in rece.ving on board his ship. the Tiger We st
hd:ainan, at Carlisle Bay, Barbadoes, two seamen j
n..med Henry Boyle, and Robert Grant; he well I
knowing them to he deserters from his Majesty's shps
then in the said harbour: and for wilfully conceal-
ing and secreting the said seamen, on board his raid
ship, when enquired and searched for by Lieutenant!
Pyne, of the Statira ship of war.
This trial occupied the Court for nearly four hours.
- The ATTOlnigv-thmani. stated the case for the
prosecittion—whicli was sustained ,in evidence as
follows:
consequence of the high premiums 'offered by
the merchants' service in the West Indies for seamen,
'desertions from the ships of: war became very fre-
quent at Barbadoes. The latter end of May, a folly-
boat's crew, under the command of a,midshipman,
having been sent on thore from the Statira, the whole
of the men desertedoland concealed themselves in the'
countiy. . An order was issued from the command-
.. incofficer to search the merchants' ships, then pre-
paring to sail, for deserters; and amongst others the
Tiger, commanded by the prisoner; and then un.
moored.and preparing to sail on the following day,
along with two others, armed also as letters of,
marque, and licensed to sail home w:thout convoy.
A Lieutenant and crew went on board the Tiger on
the night of the '2lst of June, to search for deserters ;
and told their purpose to the prisoner; and desired
him to muster his crew on theNuarter-deck. He ac-
cordingly mustered-his men, but no deserter appear-
ed there; and he moreover assured the officer, that
lie had none on board. On the following morning,
before breakfast, Lieutenant Pyne, with a boat's
crew from the Statira, boarded the Tiger. The
Lieutenant told the prisoner he had reason to suspect.
he had some deserters from the navy concealed on
board his vessel, and desired him to call up all hands.
The prisoner assured him he had no such men on
board. He mustered all his hands to the number •f
about thirty, and spewed the Lieutenant a protection,
s;gned by Sir Alexander Cochrane, allowing him to
retain a crew of .50 men. The Lieutenant said it
was not his intention to impress any man on board
the vessel, unless there should appear more than the
50 permitted- by the protection. He observed that
all the hands did not appear, and desired the prisoner
to order up the remainder ; but he declared upon his
word and honour there were no more men on board,
to his knowledge. The Lieutenant then said he
should search, as he had strong reasons for suspect-
ing there were ; and he called I r a light. The pd-
. :otter warned him of the danger of going below with
a light, as his ship was laden with rum, and the
Lieutenant, must be responsible for any accident.— !
The Lieutenant then desired his men to search below .
without a light, wh:ch they did, but found no men.—
. The Lieutenant not recognizing any deserter amongst
the men he saw mustered, went on shore ; and, in a
very short time afterwards, heard of a house kept by
• a man named Whitaker, about two miles within the
country, where a number of deserters, and other sea-
men, had been concealed. He went thither, under
the appearance of a merchant captain, for the profes-
sed purpose of ereging some men for his ship; and,
upon ciniversiag with some of the seamen he met there, •
and offeringtheth the highest terms in the port, they
acknowledg&l themselves to be deserters, and said,
they were unwilling to ventere on board until he was
ready to sail, Hem immediately called out at the
door for the Statira's guard to come up ; upon which
all the men, except one, rushed out, and ran off dif-
ferent, ways : but one man he secured ; and from
h;ra he learned; that Boyle, Grant, and several other
seamen, had been-engaged at that house by the pri-
sorwr, and were then on board his ship; and that
Boyle was entered as his second-mate and boatswain,
by the name of Henry Locke.
Lieutenant Pyne then repaired again on board the
Tiger, determined to search more narrowly; and told
the prisoner, he had received informatir n that he hatt
deserters on'boird. The prisoner denied it, with the
same solemnity as before. Lieutenant Pyne said, the re
was one in particular, his second mate and boatswain,
named Henry Locke, whose name he saw entered on
the protection List. The prisoner assured him, that
man was gone on shore upon duty. The Lientenant
then told him; that man's name was Boyle, and that
he was a deserter from the Statira, and that Le must
now search more thoroughly ; whereupon the pri-
soner said, he would go on shore if the Lieutenant
had no objection : and there being none, he went on

.. , . .
. .
shore accordingly. Lieutenant Pyne then sent his
quarter-master and some other men to make close 1
search below ; and they found some men concealed
in the magazine, hiding among the gun-powAl
bi. in
j II
bulk, and others stowed amongst the shingle t
itn4er the magazine. Boyle, who was conceal ,In
the Captain's cabin, on hearing from the S'hip's
steward that information was given against hi. by
one of the Scorpion's crew, who was one of tbet4le-
setters at the house where he was engaged, came up
on deck of his own accord ; and the whole of those
concealed, about fifteen in number, all black and
almost fainting from their close conce ilment, were
brotight by Lieutenant Pyne on board the Statira.
Six of them were deserters from that ship, who were
afterwards found guilty by Court-martial and flogged.
The remainder belonged to other'ships, to which they
were restored.

Boyle, who was the second witness, stated, tint so
early as the 25th of May, the prisoner had seen him
with the lust of a boat's crew of the Statira on shore
at Barbadoes; and then spoke to him, and endeavour-
ed to induce him to serve on board his vessel ; but he
said he could not go then, but should think of it; and
afterwards, when the prisoner saw him at Whitaker's,
he had acknowledged to the prisoner that ho and the
other men were deserters from King's ships in the har-
bour, and weie afraid to go on board him, until he
ahould be ready to sail, lest they should be known
and retaken.
On his cross-examination; he said he had no wish
to injure the prisoner—that he ha i been punished with
13shes—and that, when he applied to his Captain
to have the R taken from his name, and to be allow-
ed to receive his pay and prize-money, he was told
that he must appear before the King's Solicitor, and
give evidence against Captain Porter.
Grant, who was entered on the Tiger's books by
the assumed name of Andrew Thompson, said, that
when the prisoner maned him at Whitaker's, he did
not acknowledge himself to be a'deserter, nor did he
hear any of the other men make any such acknowledg-
ment. He had deserted from the Sceptre, and kid
vecl 31)0 lashes in,consequence cf his conviction;.
and to the best cf his knowledge, the Tiger did not
arrive in Carlisle-Bay, until .after. Boyle and himself
had deserted and were on shore together.
Mr. St.litt.rrr, for the defendant, ably addressed
the Cow t and JUry on the evidence; and argued from
the contradiction between Boyle and Grant, that the
prisoner did nut know the men he engaged to be
deserters, and might be perfectly unacquainted with
their being on board at the time lie denied them to
Lieutenant Pyne.
The ArroasEit-GaNr.nat. replied, in the contrary
opinion.
Baron GRAHAM summed up the evidence minutely
to the Jury, who found the prisoner—Guilty.
44 Mr. Sc*at.rrr then argued at some length, in arrest
of judgment, that the fact charged against the pri-
soner! in the first part of the indictment, WAS not con-
struable into a midemeanour by the law of the land:
and, in the second, that the circumstances proved,
were not duly set out in the indictment : and that evi-
dence was not admissible to make out facts not set
Out regularly, in such an indictment.
Baron GRAHAM and Mr. Jttstice BAYLEY were of a
quite different opinion. They thought the indictment
had sufficiently set out the charge as sustained in evi-
dence ; and that the guilt which was so fully sub-
stantiated against the prisoner, was not to he annulled
by any omission in the statement on_ the face of the
. indictment.

Sir WILLIAM ScorT, in proceeding to pass sentence,
forcibly commented upon the mischievous tendency of
i an offence continually increasing, and fraught with the
!anost alarming consequences to the naval service, and
Ito the safety of the country. The prisoner was a man
Who must be fully aware of that fact ; and who, pre-
ferring his own private interest to the public safety,
i had seduced these men to a violation of their duty to,
their King and country, and of the solemn oaths by
which they had bound themselves to that duty ; and
• this he had done, not in a single insttnce, but in fre-
quency ;fnd continuance ; and had endeavoured to
Iconceal his crime by the most disingenuous con-
duct. He was, therefore, the kind of object whom
the law deemed it necessary to punish with severity,
as an example to deter others from the like practices;
and particularly- in that quarter of the world where
the offence was committed. He then sentenced the
. prisoner to pay a tine of .€5OO to the King, and to
suffer twelve months imp-lea:anent in the gaol ofNewgate;
there to remain untikthe said fine should be paid.—

MANSION House.---Cirtto Srearstro.--Yesterday
Mrs Elizabeth Rune!, otherwis Rhzton, was brought
rip for bet second examination; on it charge of steal-
ing the child of Mr. Dellow, of St. Martin's-Lane,
Cannon-street.
The first witness was Mr. Shergold, the uncle of
the child, who corroborated his former testimony, as
to the steps be had adopted, in searching for the boy,
and tracing the prisoner.
A man named Miils, who stated himself to be a•
private soldier in the first regiment of Guards, depo-
sed, thzt between ten and eleven on the morning of
Monday se'nnight, he was passing al .mg Thames-
street, and SAW the prisoner dressed as before descri-
bed, in a dark purple cloak, black straw bonnet and
feather, going aling Thames-street, with two little
children, one of wi om wis in her ems ; and that
they both appeared t,i him unwilling to go with her.
He was induced to notice her more particularly by
this latter circumstance. He saw her turn up nib-
street-hill with the children, and then saw no more of
her; but in a short time afterwards he saw one of
those children, the little girl, returning alone towards
St. Mar.in's-lane. He was positive as to the priso.
ner's person.
Margaret Breary, with whom the prisoner lodged,
at No. 7, Trafalgar-place, Southwark, deposed, that
the prisoner remained in her house the whole of the
morning of Minday sc'nnight, and did not go out of
doers till past four in the afternoon.
A woman named Wright, of Moor-lane, South-
wark, who usually' washed for the prisoner, deposed,
that she came to her lodeiegs at one o'clock on that
day, and 'understood that' she had not been out that
morning. She continued there till four o'clock, and
the prisoner *did not go out during drat time. She
never saw her wear any such cloak or apparel as that
stated, nor did Ole believe that she had any such.
Mr. Eyton, clerk to the Navy Agent; where the
prisoner receives an allowance en account of her hus-
band, who is assi,tant-surgeon on- board the Tickler
gun brig, proved her having r..girlarly appeared there
tar the payment of, her annuity, and That he never
knew her to use any other-name than that of Ruston.
A lady named Blake, stated, that she knew the
prisoner ; and bad been several times in her company;
,and that the prisoner, she believed, had twice drank
tea at her horrSe. At. out five months since, the pri-
soner called one evening at her house, after dinner,
and asked for something to eat. She told her that
tier little family had dined on beef-stakes, and had
left none ; but said tea would be ready in a few mi-
nutes. The prisoner said -she could not take tea
without having something salt to eat ; and asked the
witness to permit her child, a little girl about five
years old, to go and shew her some shop in the neigh-
bourhood where herrings were sold, in order to buy
one. She permitted the girl to go with her, and was
a good deal alarmed on finding she did not" eturn id
three quarters of an hour. In a few minutes after-
wards, she heard a loud rapping at the door ;—on
opening which, she saw her child with two men, who
asked if that little girl was her's ? They were fol-
lowed by a numerous crowd. On her answering in
the affirmative, they told her they saw the child, with
a woman, answering to the description of the prises
ner, who was endeavouring to bring the child along ;
but she was unwilling to go with her, and was crying
piteously, and the woman repeatedly slapped her.—
They followed her from one shop to another, and at
last determined to ask the child what was the matter?
The child, apparently much terrified, said, the lady
wanted to take her away, and she did not want to go
from her mother, whose name and residence she de-
scribed. These men then took the child from her,
and broughilher home. The witness never saw the
prisoner afterwards.
The Lotto Mime then said he would again re.
mold the prisoner for a future day, in order to give
ker a still farther opportunity of reflecting on her si-
tuation, and averting from herself the severe conse-
quences of a prosecution, by restoring the child, or
giving such intimation to its parents as might enable
them to recover it. This was their sole object, and
this alone could induce them to forego a prosecution.
The prisoner, however, solemnly persisted in her
innocence ; and was remanded, till Monday. _ _

An immense crowd was collected round the Mani
sion House ; and the Lord Mayor, apprehensive for
the prisoner's safety in passing through the multitude,
desired she might remain in the Mansion House, un-
til it, should disperse.
