to be poßponed on account of the heavy rains which
•fell about that time. We underiland ELF, BIYIS
Mamehikes, mounted on Arabian hones, are to go

Yettoday Mr. W. C. was Commonest before Sir R.
FORD, at Bow greet, charged, as a member of the
Loyal North Britons Volunteer corps, with having
incurred the forfeiture of the fum of 4s. for fines, and
nonattendance. Mr. HILL, Secretary to the corps,
proved the defendant's handwriting, in a book
wherein he finned his name, and pledged himfelf to
be fubjeft to the regulations of the corps.
The defendant Rated, that when the Corps was
about to be formed, he had figned his name, agree-
ing to be a member, but when their fervices were ac-
cepted by Government, he altered his mind, and
fent a letter to the Secretary to that die& It was
contended by the Secretary that he had no power to
do fo, in which opinion the Magiltrate coincided, and
he was ordered to pay the fines, with coils, and to be
confiderest a metriber of the corps.
W. was fummoned on a fimilar charge.
Mr. Htst. proved the defendant's ligning the mut..
ter-roll, and every thing necettary to contlitute him a
member, and that he had due notice given him of the
field days.
It appeared that the defendant was an apprentice,
and his mailer Rated he had entered the corps with-
out his knowledge, and that he could not (pare him to
attend the field days, neither could the defendant fup.
port the e :pence. Sir R. Ectan reprimanded the de-
fendant fur having entered the corps without his maf•
ter's knowledge, and difcharged him from the fines,
and from being a member of the corps.
3. I'. attended on a fimilar :harp. Mr. Hill hay.
ing made the limitary ',moth the defence fet up
was, that, at the formation of the Corps, he had
fent in his refignation, but which was not accepted ;
he was therefore ordered to pay the 45. with cons.
Several other members were fummoned on fimilar
charges; but Mr. Hitt candidly acknos hedging the
fines were not the objeft, hut merely to prove the
power to enforce them, he declined bringing them
forward.

[Both the wires were prcfent, but only the fccond

Chada Daviion was indieted for (leafing a peliffe
and a cloak, the property of Sarah Dall.
A Mr. Cumming hated that, in patting the door
of Sir Francis Dickfon, No. 17, Charlotte-(trees,
Bloomffiury, he law a frifpicious looking perfon lurk-
ing about ; palling on, he met Leigh the officer, and
informed him of his fufpicions. Leigh accordingly
' went to the No. Cumming mentioned, and Cumming
having difpatched fome little bufinefs immediately
followed. When he advanced he faw the prifoner
walking fmartly on, and making up to him, feized
him round the middle, when Leigh came up and
took out of his brtaft the peliffe and cloak mentioned
in the indietment. Leigh completely corroborated
this teflimony.
The prifoner put feveral queftions to the witneffes,
but each teemed more completely to implicate him.
In his defence, he Rated that he was a native of
Frankfcrt, in Upper Germany. That he had been
to years in Britain. Was a watch chain finifher.—
That his friends lived at Birmingham. That he had
received information from his mother that his father
was dead, and, in confequence had come up to Lon-
don, to apply for a paffport. That be had only ar-
rived that morning in town, and in palling through
the greet had been feized upon by Cumming, who af-
ter offering him the articles fur file, had charged
him with being the thief of them. He moreover dat-
ed that a woman had called at the prifon for her
hatband who was confined there, and had mention-
ed, without knowing any thing of the prifoner, that
a poor young man had been arrefled in a peculiar
=saner in Charlotte.ftreet, St. Giles's. That he had
never till then known even the name of the place
where he was apprehended ; but, being (truck with
the woman's glory, had liftened to it, and found that
it applied to himfelf. She had Rated that the was a
tenant of Mr. Cumming, who, on his return home, on
the day when the priloner was apprehended, had
mentioned that he had caught a fate green bora. That
he had palmed the articles on the prifoner, and had
charged him with Healing them. He was tog miles
from any of his friends, and therefore could adduce
no evidence.

• Mr. Jußice Ganse could fee no doubt in this cafe.
The Jury mull either believe the teftimonies of Mr.
Cumming and Mr. Leigh, which he law no room to
doubt,or mull fuppofe Mr. Cumming himfelfguiltyof
the crime of which the prifoner was accufed.—Cuilty.

lour, he fa.v Durant come into his (hop, and take
nut the bacon: that he immediately ran after him,
and followed him to the curbAliine, when the prifoner
dropped the bacon. Dennis, the other prifoner, then
came up, and laid he was not the man who fide it,
and immediately drew a large knife, threatening to
do him, a mifchief if he did not let the prifoner go.
John Hughes, who alfo kept a cheefenuinger's chop
dole by, on hearing the noire, went to Mr. Fi(b's,
and recognised the prifoners to be the fame men who
had loitered about and looked into his (hop the fame
afternoon. On attempting to affift in fecuring the
prifoners, Dennis drew his knife, and threatened to
run him through the liver if they did not let them
go. On Dennis (hiking Hughes five or fix times
over the (boulder, he was obliged to leave his hold,
when the prifoners ran away ; but on crying out—
s. ftnp thief," they were fccured ; Dennis all the
while brandilhing his knife as he went along, but
which was at fait taken from him, and produced in
Court. Ot. their being taken, a number of young
men came around, and laid, the prifoners ought not
to be taken op, as there was nobody to give charge.
The prifoner Durant Rated in his defence, that he
had only been a few days from the country, during
which time he had been continually drinking.

Mr. Fri-gut-in), clerk to the profecutors, proved that
he four the prifoner examined, and that the officer
produced two (mall bags of raw coffee, fount! on the
ifnner, marked QS. 77. and OS. 97. Coffee of
a fimilar kind, and marked nn the hap with Similar
letters, was configned to their honk. No bags came
to hand marked with the fame numbers as rhofe found
on the prifoner. The coffee came from on board the
Four Sifters.

Smith, one of the Thames Police Officers, faw the
prifoner on the Lath OCtober, coming up, as if from
St. Katharine's Stairs, Wapping, in comeany with
another perfon, each carrying a (mall bag. bufpating
them, he began to follow, when they run off at full
fpeed. He followed the prifoner, who let fall his bag
and took refuge in a houfe, the door of which was
ftanding open, which he immediately bolted on him-
felf. The other perfon alfo let drop his bag and
efcaped. The witnefs picked up the two bags, had
the prifoner fecured, and next day went to the Four
Sifters, where he faw coffee in bags fimilar to tbnfe
taken upon the prifoner and his companion. He
could not, however, (wear that the fhip broke hulk
that day. Neither could Mr. Kennedy (wear that the
two bags found in the poffeffion of the prifoner and
his companion, formed part of the carbo conftgned
to the prolocutors.
The prifoner received a moft excellent charaaer
from a number of refpalable witnetFes, feveral of
whom had known him from his infancy.
After a very articulate charge from the Judge, the
Jury found the prifoner—Nw
Mr. Baron Gt •ti AM fdild, that, without pretending
to animadvert on the verdl& of the Jury, in which,
notwithftanding, he could by no means concur, after
giving the evidence every attention in his power, he
found himfelf called upon to (late to the prifoner that
he had had a narrow and a peat efcape. He cau-
tioned him againft perfeverance in thole nefarious
prances, in which it was too apparent he had en-
gaged, and warned him that the good than ter too
often improperly given by partial friends, would not
always carry him through as it had to-day.

Mr. HAMILTON Rowse has obtained a pardon ma
the exprefs condition that he does not return to Ire-
land without the permiffinn of Government. He is
now in London, and lately (elicited permifUon to sift
Ireland, under a legal guard, for the fake of adjuft-
ing tome matters in that country retpeding his pri-
vate property, but received a pi fitive refulal.
On Wednefday was indited at Hicks's Hall, Efice-
Iva liotros for keeping a diforderly haute, in Cattle.

geM autos was indicted for extnr'ion. The in.
diament charged, that he being an offi:er of the She.
riff of Middlefex, had arrefied the Profecutor, and,
by colour of his office, extorted the Cum of five (bil-
lings for fearching whether there was any detainee
againll the prifoner, being a fee which he was not en-
titled to take.
Thomas Soane, the profecutor, (fated, that the de-
fendant, Wilton, arrelled him on the 9th of April
tall, for the faro of 261. He till him immediatey
that he Ihould not give bail, but depolit the money
in the hands of the Sheriff, according to the provi.
lions of a late Aft of Parliament. Wilton repl'ed,
that he might do fe if he pleaded, but be &mild go to
a lock-up-houfe, until be had fearched the Sheriff's
office whether there were any detainers againft him.
The profecutor ohjedcd, and prowled that they
Ihnuld go to the Sheriff's office together, where he
might depolit the Cum for which he was arrefled,
while the officer lea' ched the boas to fee if there
was any detainer. To this he fwore he would nut
content, and threatened if the profecutor would not
go to a fpunging honk, he would eery him dire&
to Newgate. The profccutor accordingly went to the
houfe of the defendant, and there he demanded Ss. as
a fee for fearching the office for a detainer, before he
would let not to fearch, which wss paid him. On his
return, in about half an hour, he demanded half-a.
crown more as houfe hire, while the profecutor was
in cultody : this was alto paid ; and then he fulfered
the profecutor to go at large.
Mr. Coals., for the defendant, infilled the lee was
incomplete, inafmuch as the profecutor had noir row.
ed. that the 5.. was not a legal tee. After tome &C-
-otillion on this point, the Chair man refereed it ler
tur:her i.onfideration. The Jury found a verdird of
guilty, fubjed to the referved point of law.
