JULY 14.

Elizabeth Green was indicted for stealing in the
dwelling-house of Mrs. Fawcett, a quantity of books.
The prisoner was mother to a servant living in the
house, and *as accustomed to come in and out of
the house whenever she chose. The facts of the case
were plainly proved against her, and many pawn-
brokers produced the articles which had been pledged
by the prisoner at their shops.
The Officer who searched her produced twenty du-
plicates found upon her.
The prisoner bore a very respectable appearance,
and was rather handsomely dressed than otherwise.
The excuse she pleaded in her defence was, that she
was in great distress, and intended to return the pro-
perty when she had raised the money to take it out
of pawn.
The RECORDER, in summing up to the Jury, told
them that this was indeed an ungrateful return for
the kindness of a good master. The woman at the
bar had been indulgently allowed to come in and out
of the house whenever she pleased ; and instead of
setting .a good example to her daughter, took the op-
portunity of stealing whatever fell in her way. With
respect to the defence she had made, from her ap-
pearance, it could not be digress which had induced
her to do this act. There was too little doubt that
she was actuated solelylsy si wicked feeling.--The
Jury found, without hesitation, a verdict—Guilty.
The RECORDER then addressed the prisoner :—Pri-
Ismer, I shall thin it my duty—a duty which I owe
to the public—to send you out of the country. Such
an infamous character as you are ought not to be al-
lowed to remain among civilized society. There is
no point of law whisk has arisen on your -trial, and

indeed it is a most aggravated case. Your daal h 1.
is in respectable service—you gain access to the hoc.e
and you have no scruple in committing dri,!ed.rtic,4
upon that family which is supporting your dat1,.111,,,.
If you remain here, r'.ecelit person will take )‘;:r
daughter into their sci viLe, ;:nci therefore it is a du,-.7
I owe to her as w ell as the public, to order yeur
transportation.

UNION HALL—Yesterday Ann Jona a , Welchw3.
man, was charged will crue.ly ill-using her child, sit
years old. The unfortunate child is the prisoner%
offspring by a former marriage. Tuesday evening
the neighbourhood in which she lives, was alarmed
by faint cries of " Murder 1" The sound of blows
was then distinctly heard, and u it proceeded from
the prisoner's house, a mob assembled and broke oixa
the door, when they found the poor child on t:a.• flea,
his hands and feet tied tightly with a si!k haadker•
chief, and the prisoner standing near, with a thiti
hooked cane in her hand, with which she had heel
beating him. The boy's back was shockiTzly se:ri-
fled; in some places the blood came through, and in
others welts as thick as a man's finger were raised,
and the blood started on each side of them ready to
spout forth ! The people were so indignant azlinst
the prisoner, that she w•nild have been torn to pieces
if an officer had not been soon procured t., take 11::
into custody.—Mr. ALLEN, the Magistrate, having
examined the child's back, expressed horror at the
state in which it appeared, and asked the •prisonzr
what slie could say in exte wation of her unnaturnl
conduct, for to justify it was impossible?-Bhe sai.i
that the child had stolen sixpence and spent it ; ht
she did not then chastise the boy ; he promising
never to be guilty of the like again : but having lee:
him at home by himself in the afternoon, he be:tmed
rudely to a little female child about his uwn age;
and here she entered into a most improbable tale—
Mr. ALLEN wholly disbelieved her story, and ordered
the parish officers to be sent for to carry on tit^ pro-
secution.—The prisoner was held to bail, in default
of which she was committed.

Four villains, w ith their persons disguised, apreard
at the back dcor of Nettleton Farm on the Furey„-ti
miles from Farnham, on Sunday night last, and de-
manded admittance. Sarah Larken, the maid-ser-
vant, refused to open the door, and went to inform
Mr. Heston, the master of the house, an infirm old
man. During the interval, the door was broke open,
and two of the men entered the house; the others re-
mained on the outside. They fastened the farmer M
his chair, and took the servant up stairs, when they
broke open every lock, and obtained a booty in money
to the amount of between £4O and £.50, together
with some silver spoons and other articles. They
next r:galed themselves with elder and currant wines,
strong beer and pork. Two of them were for murdc:-
ing the servant, but were prevented by the interposi-
tion of the others who joined from without. Before
they left, however, the servant was cruelly beat with
a stick, and fastened into the cellar. The robbery was
not known until ten o'clock on Monday, nor was
either master or servant until then released. • Hopes
are entertained that the villains will be traced.

Two youths, of the names of JACKS and ilutaxi-
SON, the former a school-boy, and the latter an ap-
prentice to a draper, in Portland-street, fell out oft
boat, and were drowned in Chelsea reach, on tle
evening of the shorn naval engagement. There were
six of them in company, and when they left Chelsea
for London, some of them were observed to hart
drank very freely.
