,27tit !last; at Vera-street, in the parish of St,
Clement Dines.

1 he ease for the prosetution was concisely stated by
Mr. POOLEY, who called James Mann, also a drum-
mer in the 3d Guards, as evidence.
The witness gave his testimony relative to the un-
natural transaction, of which he had been witness, in
the clearest manners
He *as cross-examined by Mr. Gutriiiite, on the
part of the prisoners, but he adhered, minutely, to the
facts sworn on his direct examination, rather strength-
ening them than otherwise.
The boy, it appeared, had discovered what he had
seen to the drum-major of the regiment, in conse-
uence of the detection of the nefarious-wretches in
.Vere-street, when means were taken for the appre,
on of the prisoners. Tte evidence was of a nature so nauseous and dis.
luting, as shocked every person in the Courti and
Pasequently forbids all detail.
Hepburn being called on for his defence, shortly
addressed the. Court. He' observed, he was well
4pre the Learned Judge and the Gentlemen of the
Jury would hear dispassionately what he had to say;
ut be also knew, that the just feeling of indignation'
and abhorrence which the crime imputed to him et-
vited,in the minds of honourable men, sometimes or-
easionetl the accusation and the accused to be cod.;
founded together in one common infamy.' He ac-
-knowledged that part of what was sworn was true ;
he had at the time stated given the witness half-a-
croien, but without any bad intention. It arose merely
from the generosity of his, disposition, which often led
him, unfortunately for himself, when asked for a siiil-1
ling, to give a larger sum. And he would ask, was
not that the most dangerous species of falsehood
which contained a small portion of truth to give it a co-
lour, and to induce a belief in those who would not
, otherwise have paid attention to it ? The crime With
which he was accused was, of all others, the most,
easily asserted, but the most difficult to be contradic-.
ted. As it must rest solely on circumstances, charac-
, ter should, he thought, have a great weight in the
decision ; anti he trusted in that quality he should
not be found deficient. His long imprisonthent in
irons did not afflict him ; part of that imprisonnienf,
le:suffered, in consequence of his application to
Court to put off his trial, that he might have ti ti
produce certain witnesses in his behalf, who weretheni
abroad. This application the Court was graCioitsly
pleased to grant. But all Ms endeavours to indecti
the Commander in Chief to accede to his request', in
having his witnesses recalled fi:Om foreign seriicifrk
were ineffectual , although,, in a similarcAse,.that oh

Three persons deposed to thezeneral good charac-
ter of White—two of them were attached to the baud
of the 3d regimens of Guards.
On the part of Ilf.pbnm,• Colonel Prancis
Grant was called, who deposed, that the prisoner had
served in his regiment from 1794. to 179$—he then
bore a Very.goodtharacter. He knew nothing orhim
since that time.
Two other witnesses were called, bnt they did' not

appear.
Mr. Justice Gaon summed up the evidence . and
the Jury almost immeliasely returned a verdict of
Guilty—Death. •
White is rather a good-looking youth,about 16
years of age—Hepburn, a respectable-loeking hum,
upwards of O. The latter was busily employededur-
ing the trial in taking notes of the proceedings.
Henry Bowyer was indicted for stealing a watch
and a silver tea-spoon, the property of Mary Wood-
yen, in her dwelling house, on dm Oth of October.
The prosecutrix stated, that she kept a green shop:
at No. 31, Silver-street, Golden-square. On the day
laid in the indictment, between two and three o'clock
in the afternoon, the prisoner, in company with two
other persons, both of whom sbe knew, one of thetn
having hedged with her some time before, came into
her parlour, where she was washing—they entered
into conversation with her for a short time, and then.
departed ; in five minutes afterwards she missed a,
watch and silver spoon, which Isere on the mantle- --

A little boy, who saw the parties leave the poef,

swore that he observed one of theta.,

I away. He was enabled to swear, to the fact,* therit
i was a sixpence attached to the watch ribbon, such, as,
II the prosecutrix had described.
The Jury returned .a. verdict of ?Olt Guilty:
Mr. Baron GRAHAM inquired-of the Jury on what
grotind they acquitted the prisoners-did they disbe..

the Jury-box, that 4, they did.'! • - • .

to-influence their verdict--=but nothing had•eppeared
to inv.didate the testimony given—it.stood uticontra-
