OLD BAII.ET.

Cn Tnefday Mary Evans was indiaed for Realing
a illvr watch, a fcvcn fume laver,
cnpeer, and a bad latching, the property of
Ti:::tmts Smith, privately limn his perfon.

• I'he Prt,fecutt:r Grid, that he is a. c.tachman in a
Gemieman's family: on the 21(1 of Augu it Litt, as he
‘, going towards his lodging in Mount-fireet, in
the flay Market. the prifourr accolled him, and raid
The wanted fomething to dt ink—He paled her away;
the walked by the fide of him, put her hand round
and he felt his watch, as it was drawing
cut of his pocket. He turned round and caught hold
of her hand whit: the watch was in it ; he laid hold
;c f her, and haring put his band to his pockets to fee
whether his money was fife, he fount his pocket was
tinbruttmed, and the feven thillings piece and three
Atti;litig,, and fume halfpence and a bad farthing,
were pile. He gate her in charge and cuflody of
lute w.itchmen. who took her to the watchloute.
The Conflable who fearched the Prifoner at the
watch-honce produced, one Chilling. two Sixpences,
h::I: ateoce, and a• had farthing. The (even
lkillings piece was not Muni!.

The Prolocutor (wore that he knew the farthing,
which was a very remarkable one. He was going
!home vervloher, having drank only one pint of beer.
I The Prlfoner endeavoured to excufe herfelf by lay-
ing tints the Pvofeeutor had ufed her ill, and wanted
to tate indecent liberties with her ; but he declared
to the Court, that he was none of theft fort of foil,.
Mr. Janice La Basic obferved, that the Prifoner
,flood charged with a capital offence, that of healing
propAly,•to more than the amount of five (billings,
yivattly from the pesion. Now, with regard to the
watch, it appeared that. the Profecutos felt it going
from him ; and therefore it did not edam within the
.coulltirdion of this Ad of Parliament, which annex-
ed the penalty of death to privately !leafing frogs the
per ion. - But as to the money, if that was fnatched
,
tat tac fame time as the watch, then it was not pri-
vate healing; but that was matter of tome confider.
'ation. There was not the fame evidence with regard
to the money as there was with regard to the watch.
`i'heProfeentor did not feel his money go as he did his
atch, but then the money found on the Prifoner
id not amount to enough to fripport the capital part 1
of the charge of Wilt": that was a part of the cafe
;which had about it a confiderable degree of doubt ;
*tit probably the Jury would think that it was rather
too much to find the Prifoner guilty of the capital
(parr of .he charge. but that they would find her
g
Miry of fhe-fiagle larceny, and of that there was no
doubt, if the Jury believed the evidence.
Guilty of healing, but not privately from the
perfon.
+ Tletenie lisesnisedion and Robert Nununerion were in-
idiScd fur healing a bay mare, the property of Henry
Eranklies.
Gfti,.. Prokentor is an °Seer of the Cullom% and
ives it Folklioae, in (Cent. He turned his mare into
* field on t)ss night Of the tyth of Angell. and miffed
er the nest morning. He never faw her again until
tee was 'hewn him at Shadwell by a Police °Meer.
;The mare was worth 201.
. A farrier, named Lane, who lives in Sun-fields.
jtateliffe Highway, law the mare on the a4th of
Augua, ht the polretEon of Thomas Hummerhon„
who rode her; Robert was at the fame tame on a
horra, but Paid the mare belot him.
Oa the (one day the Ptitgirr
were taken'into
cutlosly by an Officer belonging to the Police Office,
Shadwell. _ _ _ _ . _

This was the fubflance of the cafe for the prefects-
tins. . _

The Counfel for the Painters called a witnefs to
prtre that the mare was purchafed by Robot Hum-
inertia', in Smithfield Market, on the isith of Au-
gull. This witnefs was John Stevenfon, a
and gilder, in Gray's•inn-lane. He knew the • pri-
loner Robert Hummertion, and met him, he raid,
on the 19th, as he was pang through Smithfield.
He there law him purchafe a bay mart for feventeen
guineas, and as the witncfs could not write, he was
Jefired to put his mark to the receipt given to Hum-
wernon. The perfon who fold the mare called him-
fell John Smith, and raid he lived at Brentford.—
The receipt was producad, and the wittier* pointed
out the mark he Paid he had made upon it. Steven-
fon was then taken out of Court to look at Mr. Frank-
lin's mare, and on his return he Iwore the va, the
lame which he law Robert Hummerfion purchafc.

John Hummerdun, a brother of the PriConers,
sp-
ared to prove an alibi with refpera to Thomas. He
fwore that on the evening of the 15th, his brother
Thomas came to his houfe in Mar ket-fireet, Weft-
*idler Dapped all night, and went next day with
!him and his wife to Miley's Amphitheatre. His
,reafon fur remembering the day was, that the 16th
was the Duke of York's birth-day, and that Bona-
irarte's titration was to be performed that nig:rt at
,Afiley's.
Both theft witneftes were very firittly crof,-qoef.
Con by Mr. Guam, Counfel fur the profecution ;
after which Mr. Baron liorua 14 fummed up the evi
dence, and the Jury returned a verdiA, finding both
pi-ironer' Not Guilly.
Thomas Hummerfton was difcharged,ltit Robert
was detained, to be tried on another indiAtnent fur
.Itorfe4tealing in the county of Mix.
Yefterday jobs &nip" of Cotfie-honfe notoriety,
was brought to the bar for the purpefe of trial, when
the uddretted the Court and Rated, that he was in-
formed by one of his fiends that morning, that a
perfon, a mat snatenal witnefs in his bchalt, was then
out cf the way, and could not be found, he therefore
J•ad to beg the Court to fuller hint to .pofipone
his trial until the next Sellions.

Mr. Lord 40,4 Sr mast informed the prifoner
tuch a proceeding could not be foffered on his vet bal
stpplication. However, the Court reould content to
his being remanded then, for the purpofe of enabling
• him to prepare an affidavit, which was the regular
of lidi nig the allegations, on which the Court
may be applied to in order to poßpone the tri:4l.-
1 Ms, it was expened, he fhould prefent to-morrow
morning, and the Court would then jtidge whether
the allegations contained fufEcient grounds for its
acceding to his application.
The prifoper then retired.
Sireen ptifone:s were tried, ten of whom were
eciarided of felony.
.c.asers 1r iligns, (errant to Emanuel de la Torre,
Sur ticaling a quantity a Spagilla wool, his pope:-

tr, on the stll of Augull lA, in the neietbonrhood
of Fuutbury•iquare.

Mr. John Edward Hamedy fwore, that the wool-
Cieks had been for fome time observed to be (host of
weight. He entered into a defcription of the Lea-
nt ire and Segovia wools, their refpeelive value, and
ti.e ufage of the wool trade. In Spain thofe of the
I..me pile, or that made from the fame flock of (beep,
were made up in bags of two hundred weight each
till they came to the laR of the pile, and that was
lometimes half a hundred or over, as the parcel run.
Each pile contained three or four hundred bags.—
He was cler k to the profeeutor, and weighed the
bags on their being fold, but never weighed them on
being brought in, trolling to the invoice and to what
he, who has been foam time in Spain, knew to be
the emlom of the Spanish market. The bags were
frequently torn on Chip board, and Come wool gene-
rally remained.
. Nicholas de Terrirer, nephew and warehoufeman
to the profecutor, Paid he was a novice in the Ito&
nefs, and could not fwear to any aftual loft.
Mrs. Ann Tweedy lived nearly oppofite to the pri-
fonerosnd on the sth of Augull, tieing a horfe and
cart flop at the pris'oner's door, came nut to her Mort
door to fee what they were doing. Upon feeing a
bag put in the cart, fhe toi.l the plifoner fhe was lure
that it was tiolen ; that fire had watched him before.
The prifoner anfwered, gr I wilts you had told me
that before—this man has bought it." The other man
Paid, that he had bought it and paid for it, and they
drove off with the bag. The witnefs went directly
to M.•. de la Torre': houfe, and told him what
happened, adding that fire was lure he had been.rob-
bed. She had frequently Peen the prifoner bring
home a bundle in his hand at his meal times, which
occafioned her to fufpeet him for fome time pal.
W. Stevens, a carman, Rated, that about a month
fince he had taken a bag of wool from a houfe in a
court near Kingfland.road. He drove, according to
his orders, to the houfe of Mr. Hughes, Cloth Fair,
Smithfield, where he left it. He was then defired to
go to the fign of the Red Cow, Long-lane, where he
taw a perfon who he thought was very like the pri-
loner, and who he thought appeared to be the fame
as he that gave the wool, but be could not pofitively
(wear that he was the fame.

George Staunton laid, that in confequence of re-
ceiving a fample previoufly, he had, as clerk to Mr.
Hughes, taken in the bag on the above day.. He
agreed for five fhillinis a pound, and was to have a
guinea for commiffion. The prifoner told him in
the Red Caw that it was his job, and he paid him a
checqne for 171. and odd, payable that day, and ano-
ther for zBl. payable the next day. He received a
poand note for his trouble, and drank without paying
towards the reckoning, which he confidered as equi-
valent to the guinea which he had been promifed.—
He alto retained 21. till the wool was weighed and
exan He believed it to be a Leoneffe wool, the
finelt fort of which was then fold for 6s. 61 and the
cairled for 4s. and thought ss. was a fair price for
what he then got.
Mr. Henry Hughes laid that he was from home
at the time the wool was bought. When he came
home he faw a bag marked X 29 R, which be fold
the fame evening to Mr. Bartlett.
Mr. James Bartlett depofed that he bought a bag
with the fame mark, and tent it to a waggon office to
be fent to the Weft of England the fame evening.—
It appeared to be wool that had been re-packed, and
was mixed; it was therefore difficult to afcertain its
value. Mr. de la Torre, the profecutcr, faw it there,
and claimed it as his properly.
Armllrong, an Officer of the Police, apprehended
the prifoner, and on fearching his room found a hand-
kerchief and an apron full of wool, though the prifo-
ivn- told him that there was none there. Upon *fling
the prifoner what he had done with the money which
he got for the bag, be laid that he might get a
checque for 171. tas. from his wife ; he faw that " he

!bras a fold man."
' • Vickery, another Officer, corroboratedhisteflimon y.
Mr. de la Torre Acing called upon to identity,
could not pofitively (wear to any of the property,
thought it was very like his.

Mr. Rook, a wool broker, had fold feveral bags of
the fame pile for Mr. de la Torre, and that the Leo.
nelfc in, the bag was of the fame pile. The bag was
the fame a. the Spanilh bags, but that it wanted the
Spann mark, and it was mixed with Segovia wool,
wh.ch is contrary to the cullom of the Spanilh market.
Mr. KNOWLYS for the prifoner contented, that it
was meta:try in law, firlt to move a lots, and then
to apply the crime to a particular perfon. He Paid
that no actual lots bad been proved on the part of
the profecut ion.
This was over-ruled by the Court as not applying
to the prefent cafe.
The prifoncr made no defence, hot called a Mr.
William Janfon, a flock broker, of Kennington. Mr.
Cathick, of the B.trracje Office, and feveral others,
who gave him an excellent charafter.
Mr. Cars mow Slit] Atcr fummed up the evidence,
and in a few minutes the Jury pronounced the pri-
foner Guilty.
