wife, who !night be jealous of her—be beggill and
prayed. she•would let him stop, and if she would let
him hate a little fire, he would stake her amends in
the morning. At last she agreed, and when she went
to bed she left him in a two arm chair by the fire.—
She took her pocket from her side, and put it ender
her head. In the morning, about four o'clock, she
felt the prisoner's hand under her pillow; she asked
him what he was doing ? he said he was raising her
head because she lay so low. When be bad his hand
under her head, she told him she always wished to
lie low. He said he wished it was light, as he had
a great many places to go to that morning. He went
away about five o'cloo ; he bade the witness good
moining, and fastened the door; he said at the same
time, he would come back at nine to breakfast.—
Witness go: op at'ejight o'clock, and looked for her
pocket, which was trot in the same place where she
had put it; she found it untied ; she was quite fright.
ened ; did not dare look at her pocket. At last she
looked into it, and found the box, the note and the
ring gone. She then ran into the next room, and
cried out that she was robbed. She afterwards saw
the note in the Lord Mayor's hard; it had been
brought him by a Clerk of the Bank. The prisoner
had not slept with her, he forced himself into her room.
The witness was re-examined by Mr. Ca:wools.—
She said she had a husband, who had been a book-
binder, and was gone to sea. Jones was not the name
of her husband, but was her maiden name, and it was
for that mason ete passed by the name of Jones. She
had no improper connection with the prisoner, be
never slept in her room before. The RIO note was
given her as a legacy.
Mrs. Langton said. that the prisoner came to her
house on the 19th of August, to pay tier ;he asked
her to change a £lO note ; she could not change it,
bet she got change at a baker's.
Robert Croxton was a lodger with the last witness,
who asked him on the 19th of August to go and get
change from a baker. _ _ _

Anderson, a biker, who gave the change, corrobo-
rated this tact.

One of the Inspectors of the Bank said he saw
the note.

Mrs. Fletcher, the prosecutrix, was desired to look
at the note. She said she was positive it was the note
that had been in her possession, she knew it by a red
mark upon it. The note had been sent to her by Mr.
Charles Murton, of Queen-street.
The prisoner being called on to make his defence,
,said he left is to hi: Counsel, who should call witnes-
ses to shew how the note had got into his possession.
Charles Haywood, a shoemaker, residing in Stew-
art's Rents, Drury.lar.e, knew the prisoner, who was
his brother-in-law ; said he knew that the prisoner,
and Elisabeth Jones lived and cohab►ted together as
man and wife; and that that woman was the insti.
gation of Siedes►berg's parting with his wife, the wit-
ness's sister. Siedenberg had kept a lodging-house
for women in Plumtrre.court, Shoe lane. The Women
had not tlitir ht►w..ands with them. The prisoner's
wile now lived with the witness, and got a living as
well as she could.

Jacob Valentine, a salesman on Saffroo-bill, and a
Aew, said he had known the prisoner for three years,
and always found him to be an honest man, so tar as
he knew of bin,. Witness could not say what business
the prisoner followed.
Tile prisoner said he had come to tbit country in
1610, as Mite of I ship from Hansburgh ; and he
afterwards followed the profession of a teacher and
translator of languages. He could not get back to
hie Own country on account of the war and the em-
bargo ; he unfortunately gut acquainted 'lllth this
woman, for whose sake he turned his own wife out
of doors, and she gave him the note in question.
The Recommit said the prisoner was capitally in-
dicted for stealing in a dwelling-house; but as the,
note alledged to be stolen vt as not under the protee-
lion of a dwelling•house, the capital part ct the
eliarge must be done away ; because the stealing, if
such had taken place, was from the person; there-
fore the offence could only be a larceny. Whether
that offence bad been committed or not, must depend
on the evidence. Them was nothing to impeach the
testimony Of the woman, and the prisoner had not
accounted for the manner the note had come into his
,satOwessior., although he said he should be able to do so.
The Jury, after deliberating about a quarter of an
hour, found the prisoner Gu;lty of stealing the Note,
but not in a de/riling-house.
