the dwelling house of Anthony Larivier, on the 23c1 of
December last, at the parish of St. J 'hn, Westminster,
and stealing therein a vantiry of wearing apparel.
jewellery, &c. to the amount of 201. and upwards, his
property.
The prosecutor stated, that on the nlght in question
tie retired to rest about eleven o'clock, leaving his wife
and daughter up. On the following morning he was
alarmed, about six o'clock, when he found the property
described in the indictment had been stolen. The
thieves must have been for a considerably time in the
house, as they had actually ransacked the lower rooms
cAnpletely, taking with them every article of value
that came in their way. •
S .veral r.ther w itne,ses, members of the prosecutor's
family, corroborated the statement made by him.
Woodbury and Pace, the officers of Queen-square,
having been informed of the robbery, proceeded to the
house of the prisoner the following morning, where they
tound a part of the property. The prisoner then did
not deny that he was .4 in the robbery," and directed
the officers to another house,,beld by the prisoner, inti-
mating that they would there find two men whd were
the robbers. .Thosemen, however,were not found, nor
have they yet been taken into custody.
Mr.Cca MOWN conducted the case for' he prisoner, and
cross-examined the witnesses•with his usual acuteness.
The prisoner said in his defence, that he had had tl e
scissors found in his possession, and sworn to by the
son of the prosecutor, six months in his possession. He
accounted for the possession of the other articles, by
saying he received them of two young men his lodgers,
who were considerably in arrear to him for rent.
Mr. Justice PARKE summed up.the evidence to the
Jury, in the course of which he dwelt forcibly on the
pint as to whether the prisoner was a principal felon,
or merely a party to the robbery after the fact, namely,
receiving the property.
The Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty.
The JUDGE. 3 and the JURY strongly recommended
that an indictment should be instantly pr. kited against
the prisoner for receiving the property ; and the prose-
cutor and witnesses proceeded forthwith to Hicks's H. U
to prefer the indictment.—The prisoner was ordered to
be detained.
