. .
Bow.srntr.r.—The man of the name of Willi:4n
Maddox, who was ordered fur execution this day, for
breaking open and robbing the shop of Mr. Custard,
in Bedford-street, Covent Garden, of woollen cloth
to the amount of 414,00, has furnisll?.d the ?..tigis-
trates with some additional information en the sub-
ject of the robbery. Some doubts as to ilrf. degree
of his guilt ware consequently entertained, end exer.:
tions were made to procur a respite, but it would
seem that his statement was not so satisfactory as hAd
been expected by those who humanely interfered for
him.

•
One of ete men, reported to be concerned in the
robbery, is a well-known houSebreaker, of the mime
of Thomas Hardwicke, who has been extremely shy
since the Officers received information that he broke
open the shop of I,Tr. Gust:ird.
Oa Monday, At: ;Is and Lavender, two of the
officers, knowing ;hat he resided on the Surrey side
of Weaminster Bridge, waited upon the idge
some time, till Hardwicke came up With a dog on-
der his arm. The officers took hint into custody, and
conyeyed him tollow-street o:iice, where he under-
, went an examination before Mr. READ in the evening.

Ann Maddox, .the wile of the unfortunate man
executed this morning,. stated, that on the morning of
Twelfth Day last, between five and six o'clock, she
and her husband were awaked by a knocking at their
window shutters, at their house, in Bottle I-kap-yard,
St. John-street ; her husband inquired who was there?
and was infcrmed by the prisoner, it was he and a
friend ; and that they wanted to come in. She and
her husband got np and let them in. The man who
came with the prisoner, is called Bill Cook ; they had
a cart and horse at the corner of the court, and re-
quested to leave some things that were in it for a
short time, which she and her husband agreed to.—
HOne was a bundle in a coarse cloth, and the other
was a brown paper parcel, which was put in a drawer,
and they requested it might remain there. After
they were gone, she had the curiosity to examine
what the bundles contained, when she discovered that
the large bundle contained woollen cloth, and the
brown paper parcel contained two pistols, two iron-
cress, and several pick-lock key ; and they remain-
ed in her house, till the officers belonging to Hatton-
Garden came and seized them, and apprehended her
husband ; which was done, in consequence of a cart
nod horse having been seen at the end of the yard,
where the witness resides, answering the description
of one seen near Mr. Custard's house, at the time of
the robbery. Upon the circumstances of the pro-
perty being found in his possession, also the pistols,
crows, and pick-lock keys, he was found guilty. He,
however, had a very good character given him.
Maddox- gave in to the
.Secietary of State, a full
statement, in writing, of the origin of his acquaintance
with Hardwicke, whi p was-by selling him a dog.
• Hardwicke was committed for further examination.
Mr. Gustard attended and stated, that his shop was
broken open and robbed on the night of the .sth of
Janaat y last, or early in the morning of the 6th ; the
latter was Twelfth Day, which was in a certain de-
gree a corroboration of Ann Maddox's evidence, as
she did not know the day of the month, but only'
could recollect it was the morning of Twelfth Day.

WORSHIM MEET. •-• Yesterday Robert Keen was
charged with stealing a large quantity of cartridge
powder out of the pouches of the Royal Westmore-
land Militia, quartered at Hackney, which were in
the Military Warehouse. It being a strong case, he
was committed to Newgate for trial.
GUlLDHALL.—Yesterday S. Crawley, porter to a
mercantile house in the City, was brought before the
sitting Alderman, charged with having defrauded his
employers of considerable sums of money, by substi-
tuting false, in the room of real charges, for the car-
riage and shipping of goods, &c. He did not deny
the charge, but said he had not committed the act
aledged against him wilfully. The worthy Alder-
man (llostvita.E) gave him his option either to be
committed for trial, or enter on board the tender, the
latter of which he most prudently chose.
Harrox-GARDEN.—Yesterday a chaste virgin, con.
siderably advanced in the vale of years, was charged
before the Magistrates of this Office with wilfully and
maliciously beating a male biped? dila: a man, on
the head, with a certain utensil, not commonly used
as a weapon of defence. The complainant stated,
that by misadventure he had entered the chamber of
the accused, when she rushed on him with the fury
of a Sphynx, and not only destroyed his best wig by
the contents of the utensil, but injured the pericra-
nium which that artificial scalp covered. The defen-
dant alledged in vindication of her conduct, that the
complainant had threatened her immaculate virtue,
and (like Virginia or Lucretia) she preferred death
to dishonour. The Magistrate considered the gay
gallant to have been rather rudely handled ; but,
under all the circumstances of the case, discharged
the Lady, with advice not to use her weapon in fu-
ture with so much dexterity.
Mr. VANDONE, many years porter to his Royal
Highness the Prince of WALES, died suddenly, on
Sunday, at his lodgings in Market-street, St. James's.
