-GENERAL ORDER.
Hone-Guards, September U.

At a General Court-Martial, held at Bristol, ces
the 6th of July, 1810, and on subsequent days, Cap-
tain and Adjutant Jou HEwnr, and Quarter-Mas-
ter JUSTIN M'CARTtIY, both of the Archenfield Re-
giment of Local Militia, were arraigned upon the
under-mentioned charge, via.—
" For conduct unbecoming the characters of Officers sod Can.
tleman, in being coneernedsin a negotiation ; the former fur the
purchase, and the latter for the sale, of the Adjutancy of the Ar-
chenfield Regiment of,Local 111Wtia, some time in the mambo of
January, February, or March, 11100."
The Court was of opinion, that Captain and Adjn.
tant Jolts Hewirr and Quarter-Master JurriN MAO.
CARTHY were guilty, the former of purthaeing, the
latter of selling, the Adjutancy of the Archenfield re.
giment of local militia, which conduct being highly
dettimental to the service, the Court adjudged, shalt
the said Captain and Adjutant Jolty HEWITT, sad
Quarter-Master Jusrlsr M.CAKTHY should be dismiss.
441 from the Archenfield regiment of Local Militia.
..1; The Court was, however, of opinion that there
*us ton much reason to believe that such rag-
:dew were frequent in the militia, and that as so
'Officers had to their knowledge been brought to
Cenral Court-Mania under a similar chargqk
Captain and Adjutant HEWITT and Quarter-Mas-
ser M'CARTHY might have acted tinder an ins.
pension, that they were not offending against any
law or regulation applicable to the militia service.,
Court also taking into consideration tbt (smite.
able testimonies given of the prisoners, Captain and
Adjutant Joint Hesetrr. and Quarter-Master Justin
M,CAltrity, previous to this transaction, earnestly re.
commended them to his Mczerre's clemency.
His MAJESTY has been pleased to approve and con.
firm the finding and sentence of the Court, and to eZ•
press his regret that Sir H. HOCEYES should have aO
lulled himself into a conviction of the fullness of Nit
transaction, when all the circumstances *minding it
teem to have been sufficient to excite suspicion, sod
! demand inquiry.

InfliarisTrynit d Joseph Holbrook oxere
cl pi t all y intrietedt for robbing Mary Jacksoli; on Sus-
day evening, the 'Vdd of September, about half past
six o'clock, of a watch and seal.
The prosecutrix deposed, that she was returning
home at the above hour, through Bartholomew Hos-
pital,
when Trueman, in company with the other pri-
soner, and several others, met her, and made a blow
at her face, which she guarded off ; he then struck
her a violent blow on the bosom, and snatched her
watch from her side. She immediately gave the
alarm, and attempted to pursue, but was prevented
by Holbrook, who held her arms ; she, however, res-
cued herself from him, and never lost sight of True-
man until he was taken.
James Lloyd stated, that as he was passing through
the Hospital, at the time mentioned, he heard tie
cry of stop thief, when he saw Trueman run ; he im-
mediately pursued, and never quitted sight of the pri-
soner, until he took him in Smithfield. -He conveyed
him into the George Inn ; in a few minutes the pro-
secutrix arrived, and recognized him to be the man
who had robbed her ; a person likewise came in, and
produced the watch, which the prisoner was seen to
throw away during the pursuit, at the corner of Ho-
sierrlane. A. constable was sent for, and Lloyd assis-.
ted him. to convey the prisoner to the Poultry Comp-
ter. They had not proceeded-farther than. Hosier-
lane, when they were attacked by agang of villains,
amounting to about thirty, with sticks and.knives ;
end the prisoner gave Lloyd a violent blow on the
face, kicked up his heels, and both fell on the pave-
Ment. The gang immediately set upon thorn, but
Lloyd kept his hold, and was dragged to the sheep-
pens„ where several of the ruffians beat him with
sticks, brandished their knives, and cried out, " Ham-
string him, cut off his b—y arms, murder him." The
prisoner also called out to the gang, to ham-string
theb--y b—. Finding Lloyd continue reso-
lute in holding the prisoner, they attempted to cut off
the prisoner's coat, which was produced in Court in
. a most mutilated state. After much difficulty, Lloyd
and the constable succeeded in getting him back to
the George Inn. Some of the gang had the audacity
to follow, and treated the prisoner with ale. A re-
inforcement of constables was procured, and a coach
get, into which the prisoner was forced, after tying his
arms. The party then set off for the Poultry Comp-
ter. On coming out of the yard, they were again as-
tailed by the gang, tne coach door opened, and se-
veral attempts made to get the prisoner out. They
'proceeded in this manner until they got into 'New-
-gate-street, when the villains cut the reins and traces,
and at length completely cut through the main springs
of the coach, when the body fell upon the carriage.
Here they again made a most.desperao... attempt to
rescue the prisoner, but through the determined cou-
rage of Lloyd were prevegted. The officers quitted
-the coach, and proceeded to the Compter for assis-
tance. In a few minutes Taunton arrived with
brace of loaded pistols, and declared he would shoot
'the firkt man that offered to prevent the prisoner
beingl.carried to the Compeer ; notwithstanding this
they persined; and threatened to murder him ; they
hrmdished. their knives, . and cried out, gg Cut him
'clown" One of the officers was cut in his hand, and
his aria nearly broken as he 'was fighting Out at the
coach 'window. Sevefal coachmen were applied to
while they remained in this situation, but all refused
to take them ; at length Taunton procured one, and
the prisoner was put into it, after Taunton had threa-
tened to shoot him, if he made the least resistance ;
they then succeeded in conveying him to Giltspur•street
Compter, as it was found impracticable to get him
to the Poultry, in consequence of the determined'con-
duct of the gang, which by this time had considerably
increased.
This statement was fully 'confirmed by Taunton
find the other' officers ; who also stated, that it took
from half-past six until half past nine to convey him
from Smithfield to the Compeer.
Holbrook proved an alai,* as irclearly appeared he
was seen by a post-boy beyond Brentwood, in Essex,
St four o'clock the same afternoon, and the Harwich
• snail coachman brought him to towns and set him
down at the Spread Eagle, ineracechureh-street, at
-half-past nine at night.
• The Learned Judge summed up the evidence, and
:in. his address to the Jury observed, that this was ono
of the most abominable and shameful outrages corn-
Joined in the heart of the City he ever remembered.
• - The fury, found Truman Guilty ; and acquitted
:Holbrook.
'The Ttidge then advised the prisoner to make the
:best of Ms time, as he might rest assured upon no
Inercy- being extended to him. He is twenty-three
,ears of age.. During the trial, three of the above desperate gang
recolKie.d in the gallery of the Court, and were
im*ediately apprehended. They underwent an exa-
mination at the Sessions House, 'before Sir WILLIAM
CURTIS, and were epiiimitted for a further hearing.
On Saturday William Jeffries was capitally indicted
for stealing in the dwelling-house of John Lamb, in
the parish of St. Martin in the Fields, two silk parses,
'value 3s. ; one hair brush, value 18s. ; eight other
hair brushes, value 10s.: one liquor-bottle with silver
cap, value Ss. ; two work-boxes, value 41 10s. ; two
wziting-case;, value in 10s.; one small silver snuff-
hox, value one guinea and a half ; one other silver
box, value 16s. ; a very small silver box, value 2s. ;
a silver knife, value .ss. ; and a great variety of other
articles to a great value, the property of the said John
Lamb.

prosecutor following. When the prosecutor got into
the back room, lie told the constable, ” That is the
young man (pointing to the prisoner) whom I sus-
peel of robbing me." Immediately on the constable's
sliming his authority, the prisoner put his hand into
his pocket, and produced various articles belonging
to the prosecutor. The whole three afterwards went
down stairs. when the prisoner begged that the prose-
cutor would grant him one favour. The prosecutor
asked what that favour was, when the prisoner beg-
ged that he would allow him to ge to Westminster-
bridge that he might throw himself over, as he wish-
ed he was drowned. On searching the house of the
prisoner's mother, on the following Wednesday, an
immense number of other articles were also found in
, a trtmk belonging to the prisoner, which were also
the property of the prosecutor. In answer to the
questions put by the prisoner's Counsel, the prosecti-
otor declared that he was unable to swear that more
than one single article of the immense number of ar-
ticles found on the prisoner's person, and in his trunk,
had been stolen by him at any one time ; nor did lie
put the value of 40s. upon any one article.
In these circumstances, by the direction of the
Learned Judge (Baron TuostesoN), the Jury found
the prisoner guilty of stealing, value 395. thereby do-
ing away the capital part of the charge. The pri-
soner stated his age to be twenty years. The Jury
and the prosecutor recommended the prisoner to mercy
on account of his youth and former good character.
It was observed from the Bench, however, that the,
robbing, of a person's employer was A very serious of-
fence; added to which, the crime charged against the
prisoner wasoaggravated by its having been commit-
ted, to all appearance, every day during the period
the prisoner had been in the prosecutor's service.
Henry Davis was indicted for assaulting, on the
highway, a young man named Henry Weller, putting
him in fear, and taking from his person and against
his will 120 pieces of copper called halfpence, to the
value of ss. and four Bank-notes, value one pound
each, the property of Henry Rennell.
It appeared that the prosecutor, Henry Weller,
, who is an apprentice to Mr. Rennell, printer, Picca-
dilly, had been sent out on the evening of Saturday,
the 20th of October kist, to get change for a £3 note.
After trying several places, lie succeeded in getting
the change at Mr. Lawrence's, baker, Air-street,
Piccadily. The change he got consisted of four Li
wits, 15s. in silver, and ss. in halfpence. On his re-
turn home, and within a few doors of his mAster's
house, he was attacked by the prisoner, who, bolding
out a paper to him, said, the note was bad, and that
he must have bark the change. Before the boy could
speak, the prisoner snatched from him, out of his
hand, the four £1 notes and the five shillings in half-
pence, and thrust into his hand at the same time the
bit of paper, which he immediately examined, and,
instead of being a note, found it to be a lottery bill,
resembling a flash bank-note. The boy immedi-
ately pursued the prisoner up Air-street, calling out
" &eV Thief !" and never lost sight of him till he
was taken into custody. The property was picked
up, but no evidence to that effect was laid before the
Jury. -Ile prisoner, however, when before the Ma-
gistrate, begged to be allowed to serve his Majesty. '
- The prisoner bore an excellent character, and be-
longs to a respectable family in Wales. Mr. Richard's,
the Banister, and several other respectable xvitnesses
attended in his behalf, to plove these circumstances.
Mr. Baron THOMPBON laid it down, the snatching
the property from the boy in the way described did
net amount to such a forcible taking as supported the
charge of highway robbery. Ile left it to the Jury,
however, to say, if the prisoner had not been guilty
of stealing. The Jury accordingly found tile pri-
soner guilty of stealing.
S. (dements Was capitally convicted for stealing a
horse, the property of T. Jarman ; as was also 4.
Flanb, an fur stealing a table and a desk, the property
cf E. TroSlove. Cox.

Edward Jo!!y, a youth of nineteen, was capitally
indicted for stealing a watch. value 40s. and a silver
tea-spoof:in privately in the dwelling house of Mary
Woodjar, on the 14th October, and found guilty of
stealing only to the value of 395. which obviates the
capital punishment.
The following were also convicted of felony ; vita.
'John Stalker, for stealing three yards of serge ; M.
Casey, for stealing lilb. of tea; J. Norris, for steal.
'ing two baskets of peaches; J. Antonio, for stealing
two silk handkerchiefs ; W. Baxter, for stealing a
watch ; E. Hibbett, for stealing four jackets; Ann

ing a watch ; J. Cowling, for stealing llb. of sugar ;

A fire broke out on Friday night, in Bermondsey.
street, Southwark, which destroyed the chandlery.
shop in which it first appeared, and damaged the ad-
joining houses. A young man, who was hed-rid.len,
lost his life in the flames, and another was much hurt.
Same evening another fire broke out in St. John's-
street, Southwark, which was not got under until con-
siderable injury had been sustained.
Wednesday night a most dreadful fire broke out in
a basket-maker's house in Plymouth, which raged with
unremitting fury till four o'cleck on the Thursday
morning. The devouring element completely burnt
down to the ground four houses ; one was pulled
down to preveru the fire from communicating to the
house of Mr. Mame, ship-builder, and 14 extensive
deck-yard.
Saturday, a fire broke out in the gallery of the

The prosecutor is a silversmith, &c. residing
