James Ward was inditted for stealing a £4O note,
the property of A. Hiscock.
It will be recollected, that a few days ago Thomas
Morris was convicted of stealing this very note from
the present prosecutor, who is coachman to a Mr.
Gunter. By the evidence on that trial, it appeared
that the brother of the prisoner Morris (James Mor-
ris) had been sent to get the note changed at a dra•
per's shop'in the Strand; that the shopman had been
,ent to the Bank with the note, and that he, instead
,of bringing it back, absconded with it. The prisoner
Ward, now at the bar, is that very shopman who
ran off.

Mrs. Phoebe Simmons, the wife of Mr. Simmons,
a draper in the Strand, and JamAA Morris, were this
day agaih examined, and repeated their former

Smithers, the officer, who apprehended Ward, said
that the prisoner had informed him that he had lost
and spent all the £4O in travelling, and had only
portmanteau, a silk handkerchief, and two snuff-
boxes left. _ _ _

The officer then stated, that the tank clerk, Wil-
liam Hoole, who had attended on the former trial,
now refused to be present, or to produce the Bank-
note, unless he received a guinea or a subpoena. The,
prosecutor had been unable to give the guinea, and
the consequence was the absence of the principal
witnesss.
The REcoanEn.—Have you served him with a
subpoena ?—Smithers : I did not think it necessary.
The RECORDER.—You should have told me of the
circumstante before the trial, or have served him with
la subpoena. I would have seen about the guinea when
1 got him here.
Smithers repeated, that he did not imagine it had
been necessary, as he had attended on the last trial.
He told me after the last trial that he would not at-
tend without a subpccna or a guinea.
The RECORDER then told the Jury to acquit the
prisoner on account of the absence of this material
witness.—The Jury returned a verdict—Not Guilty.
Rachel Mitchel was convicted of stealing a quan-
tity of wearing apparel, the property of Eliz. Wilde.
By the evidence it appeared, that the prisoner
committed the theft in order to obtain liquor; but
in her defence she said that her husband was a great
drunkard; and that she and her children had het:.
left five days at a time without a morsel of bread to
put in their mouths.
A Juryman observed, that a few months ago the,
prisoner's husband threw her, dead drunk, out of a
one-pair of stairs window. The husband was a sober
man, and bad frequently worked for him.
The P-ECORDER.--HOW long shall we confine her,
Gentlemen, to make her sober? _ .

A Juryman.--I think she may be sober in a month.
The RwostDsa.—Then we will give her two
Imonths to bring her completely to her senses.
J. Butler, aged 14, was indicted for stealing a
dressing-gown, the property of J.
The prosecutor lives on the Abbey Farm, Kilburn,
and his wife takes in washing. A neighbour was
alarmed by his dog barking violently, and on going
out to see what was the majter, he observed the pri-
soner inside Mrs. Pennir's fence, from which he took
the dressing-gown, and ran away with it. lie was
pursued and taken, after he had dr6pped the pro-
perty.—Guilty.

• Bow-wt./tam—Yesterday DucklllVells was brought
to the office by two of the Deal constables, charged
with being concerned with several smugglers, in wil-
fully mardering four of the crew belonging to the
Fox Revenue cutter, about three years ago, in re-
sisting their seizing a vessel laden with smuggled
goods. Two of the smuggling party were executed
for the murders, and the prisoner was indicted at the
same time, but absconded in consequence of being
charged with the offence, and till now has eladed the
vigilance of the Police, both in London and at DeaL
He was yesterday identified as the man who stands
indicted for the murders, and was committed.

UNION Hsu..--A case of importance to coal-
merchants, wharfiugers, and owners of barges, was
yesterday discussed at this Office. Mr. Hubert, .of
Nine Elms, Lambeth, barge builder, appeared to a
summons for having employed persons to work a
barge on the Thames, they not being Freemen of
the-Watermen's Company, nor apprentices regularly
bound. The complainants, S. Kinderdine and W.
Boulton, are Freemen of the Watermen's Company
a
and on their behalf it was stated, that considerably
injury had been sustained by watermen, in conse.
quence of coal-merchants, barge-builders, and other
owners of craft, employing l:crsons to work their
vessels who had not served an apprenticeship to the
business, and were disqualified by law and the re-
gulations of the Waternien's Company for such em-
ployment. On the day mentioned in the summons,
the defendant, who is not a freeman, employed one
of his apprentices to work, a barge, from Hunger-
ford Stairs to Nine Elms. The complainants being
aware that he was a non-freeman, went on board
the barge, took the possession from the apprentice,
and worked the vessel to its destination. They ap-
plied to Mr. Hubert for .payment for their labour,
which he refused, and they preferred the present
charge.—On the part of defendant it was contended,
that coal-merchants, wharfingers, and woodmon-
gers, Were exempted from the rules of the Water-
men's Company, and a proviso in the Rules was
pointed out, as the ground of the exemption. Re-
ference was also had to an Act of the present reign,
to prove that owners of barges, being non-freemen,
had a right to work their osen craft. After mature
consideration, the Magistrates sledded, that a non-
freeman, being owner of a barge, can only employ
such persons to work it as are either freemen of the
Watermen's Company or apprentices regularly bound.
The complainants stated, that they sought no penalty
from the defendant ; they were only desirous of main-
taMing the rights of the watermen.
