Monday, at the General Sessions of the Peace for
the City and County of Canterbury, Michael Dora:
and Tomas Farrell, trumpeters in. the 3d <King's
own) 15ragoons, were indicted with robbing Mr. D.
H. 13ushell, on the high way, in the parish of Saint
Martin, on the 3d of February last. Mr. Bushell not
being able to identify the persons of the prisoners, no
proof whatever appeared to criminate•Doras, and
what was adduced against Farrell went only-. as ter
the watch of which Mr. Bushell was robbed, and was
evidence of a nature which not being pure, was to be
received with doubt. The REcounErtin Consequence
directed the Jury to acquit Doras, stiiting at the same
time, that the evidence against Farrell could not jus-
tify a different verdict, the Jury accordingly acquitted
both the prisoners.
Doras was then tried on 'an indictment :charging
him with assaulting Daniel Bentley of Forchiidr, on
the highway, in the parish of St. Mary Northgate,
and taking from his person two, half crowns,: four
shillings, a penknife, &c. The evidence in this case
was circumstantial and conclusive. Bentley swore
positively to the person of the prisoner, and the pen-
knife
was also identified, and proved to have been
found on his person. This evidence was corroborated
by Mr. John Collard, who came up at the moment of
the robbery and pursued the prisoner, who twice
)napped a pistol at him and escaped.
. The Jury, in consequence, without hesitation, gave
a verdict of Guilty.
On being brought up to receive sentence, the RE-
CORDER addressed the prisoner in the following im-
pressive language :
ti Michael Doras—You have been found guilty of the crime
laid to your charge. •1 he facts have been proved so as to admit no
doubt in the mind of any one of your guilt. It is now therefore
my painful duty to pass upon you the awful sentence of the law.
The circumstances which induced the commission of this crime
I know not ; but your necessities were nor a part of them. Your
profession is honourable, but that sword which was entrusted to
your hands fur the protection of the community has been turned
against them and yourself; and, instead of now standing at this
bar, saving forfeited your life, you might have lived. to resign it
in defence of your country, and if you had fallen, you. would at
least have fallen with honour. I know not if you have parents
or family—whether you have feher-or thotherovife
but if you have, they must feel for your ignominious fate, One
circumstance only is in your favour ; want it could nor be, for
the State has found you provisions, but the pistol you used was
unloaied—on that, and on that alone, I feel it my duty to report
your case to his Majesty, the fountain of mercy, cautioning you,
at the same time, not to he buoyed up by the hope of pardon,
for bring a soldier will tell against you, because, from the means
they posses 4, grt a•er faci:ity fur the commission of clime is
forded to them than to others.

" Prisoner, employ therefore your time to repent—n•ake your
peace with an uffend,d Goo, and if Royal mercy should not ar-
rest the course of the law, of which I can give you fio Lopes—
may your thoughts and prayers be directed and made to that
PROVIDE:4CE which alone can rat don and fol.-Live!"

The Nlayor then putting on his kit, passed the sen
tence if Death in the usual form.

The Recorder's address was delivered with feeling
and emphasis, and very sensibly affected the nume-
rous assemblage in the Court. Not so, we regret, did
it operate on the prisoner ; he heard it with indiffe-
rence, and displayed an obduracy and unconcern,
which, it is hoped, was not inherent in his nature.

A fcrtunc-teller of the name of Harris was detected
stealiug a pair of gravy-sporns in the house of a gen-
tleman in Rathbone-place, on Monday night, into
which she had obtained access, under pretence of
telling the servants their fortunes. The spoons had
been put into the Sybil's hand as a charm, • hut she
charmed them into her basket, and was walking off
when secured urn the area steps. -.She was com-
mitted for trial the next day,-

RA PE. —A young gentlemah of family and fortune
has abiconfled to avoid the investigation of the
charge of having ravished the daughter of a trades-
man in Mary-la•bonne, between twelve and one
o'clock on the morning of Wilda), se'nnight. The
young lady is 22 years of age, and she lived under
the roof of hey father, where the person charged had
apartments. The father of the lady was in the coun-
try, •he mother was gone to 'bed on the second floor,
and the daughter, with the servant, was looking out
linen in a back parlour, for a wash, when the offer-
der came home. Some excuse was made to dispatch
the servant on an errand, and, during her absence
some indelicate offers were made to the lady, and on
her scot nlid rejection of them, the offender succeeded
in ravishing her, and afterwards left the house, and
has not since been heard of. The lady.immediately
communicated what had happened to her mother.

CHILD STEALlNG.—Yesterday Ann Ring, a decent
looking female, about 19 years of age, who described
herself as coming from 'I: ing, in Hertfordshire, .was
brought before the Magistrate at Union Hall, by
Collingbourn, charged with stealing Rebecca Beadle,
a child about eight years of age. The child stated,
that she was playing in the Borough-roadi• when the
prisoner came up to her, and offered her some
if she would go with her behind some old housei at.k
distance from the road: The child, it appeared went
with her; and when they were in a place which she
thought secure from dbservation, she proceeded to
strip her of her clothes. Fortunately for the child,
some of the neighbours had observed the woman's
conduct, and sent for Collingbourn the officer, who
came immediately, but before his arrival a mob had
collected round the prisoner, and were proceeding to
drag her through a muddy ditch. She was rescued
by the officer, assisted by a gentleman who was pass-
ing, and conveyed to the Office.—She was fully com-
mitted for trial.

Yesterday J. M. Keeve, Elizateth Mgierve„fame;
AP &eve, seven years of age, and Elk. Quist ',lodgers
in the hou of Mr. Murray, the Distillers Arms, on
Saffron Hill, were charged, at Hatton-garden, with
robbing the house of linen and wearing apparel to a
large amount, by the following stratagem—Lodging
in one back garret, they took up the hearth and made
a hole large enough to admit the boy into the room
below by means of cords, when he and the goods
were hauled up into the garret. The parties were
committed for re-examination.

Yesterday IV. Quekh, G. Brown, and N. llPBride,
underwent their last examination, at the Thames Po-
lice Office, charged with stealing a ton of logwood
out of a barge at Limehouse, the property of a Mr.
Thompson ; QUelch and Brown were fully commit-
ted, and M,Bride admitted an evidence.

James Nowland was also committed, charged with
entering the cabin of a mate of a Wes; Indianian in
the West India Dock, and stealing all his bed-:kath-
