OLD BAti.Er

• Saturday George Pouneeford and George Green (old
offenders) were inditled for flopping William Brooks,
on the King's highway, putting him in fear, and
taking from his perfun a bundle, containing divers
articles of wearing-apparel.
William Brooks (a boy about fourteen years old,
belonging to the charity-khool of Shadwell) liar ed,as
he was going to Gofwell•Place, with a large bundle,
on the 6th inflant, on his going along Shoreditch, he
obferved the prifoner Pounceford follow him for
fome diftanee, when at length he came up to him,
and alked him to carry hisbundle, when the boy re-
plied no.—As he was going to Cuckold's-raw he met
the prifoner Green, when the other pi ironer, who +•a,
then walking behind the witnefs, (poke to him, but
witnefs did not know what they were talking about.
The boy went into a public houfe, and when became
out, faw the prifoner Green waiting at the door. On
his leaving the honk he ran, when the prifoners ran
alfo ; when he had reached Vinegarlard, both the
prifoners fcized him by the collar. knocked him down,
and took his bundle from him: witnefs (creamed out,
when a Mr. Holloway who was palling, went in pur
fuit of the prif,ners, but without eifeet. The owner
of the bundle (Mr. Penn, a cooper with whom the
father of the boy works) having been informed of the
robbery, went in fearch of the prifoners, with Mr.
H. and two police officers, when they found the pri-
foners in Rnfelaste, who at that time, by Come means
efcaped ; but they were taken into cu(Lody fome days
after in Wentworth-fret. The boy clearly identified
both the prifoners, and had teen them before.
The jury found both the prifoners Guilty—Death.

The profccutor is a broker refsding in Tottenham-

inflant :latched the property Rated, and ran niF with
it. The profecutor purfued him, calling out " flop
thief;" when, on gaiuiug ground on-him, lie drop-
ped the bundle, which the profecutor left, purfuing
him down the road. when he faw him turn up Pitt-
greet, where be loft fight of him. On enquiring of
tome workmen near the fpot, he was informed he had
run into No. t, Put•ftreet, the door having been
open. On giving alarm, the matter of the houfe
brought a light, when die prifoner was found Rend-
ing ou the kitchen-Hairs. and feeured.
The Jury found the prifoner guilty of Healing

Simon Farren (a labouring man) depofed, that his
firft light the prifoner was at No. 1, Wright's-
buildings, Rear Smithfield, on the a9th of November,
in company with a Mr. and Mrs. Daley, f. om whence
they all went to a pnblic.houfe in St. Giles's, and
from thence to a friend's, who keeps a lodging-houfe
in Pheenia-fireet. Daley and his wife went jnto one
room, and the profecutor and panne: into another ;
the'prifoner was very inquifitive to learn what money
the profecutor had in his pocket, who counted it nut
before her. The profecutor and prifoner laid on the
bed together, when the complained of being hungry,
and raid. if he would give her fome money the would
get a bit of fomethinz nice, when the prifoner went
r. it and did not return, h.ving le,cked the profecutor

Mot. kribcked violently at the door, but to no pu-
pae, when he Lid down until morning, when he in-
formed his friend Daley what had happened. On
going home the next morning, he met the prifoner
very much intoxicated, and ditplay ing three gold rings
on her fingers : the prnfecutnr upbraided her with
having robbed him, when the agreed to go to the
place where the had left him, but on the way the de-
clined gi:ing any further, when the profecutor had
her taken into ctiflody-
Moira; White, a police officer, feaiched the pri-
loner a Long time, at hilt he found ten guineas and
Come laver concealed moil curiouily.
The Jury found the prifoner—Guilty of Beating,
but not in a dwelling-honfe.
Elinateth Circle and Sarah Smith were found guilty
of picking a gentleman's pocket of a twenty pound
bill of exchange.
The profecutor, Mr. Buckoff, of Kirby-ffreet. Hat-
ton-Garden, was returning from the Theatre on
Saturday evening, when the prifoners accofled him
in Holborn, making very free with him, and preffing
him to go home with them, which he declined doing,
though it appeared he (topped a few minutes in con-
verfation with them; en their leaving him, he found
his pocket bad been picked of the Bill of Exchange.
He immediately went down Gray's Inn-lane, where
he loon met with the prifoners (landing together, and
he perceived in the hand of the pritimer Chcefe, a
paper, which proved to be the Bill he had been rob-1
bed of, when lie gave them in charge to the 'watch-1

~
man. It clearly appeared by the evidence, that they

were combined together is the robbery.
• Dsveraroitv Lases.—yelva Pima, a coach ma-
ker in the parifh of St. Bartholemew the Great, was
indiaed fur feveral defamktory libels
againa Moles May, and 'others, Trullees of the Paid
Pa, ifh.
Mr. GUINIT, Counfel for the profecution, Rated
the cafe as follows. The Defendant, he obferved,
was a coach maker, and occafionally let out chaifes.
He lived in St. Bartholomew Clore, and was occur-
tomed to let his chaifes fland in the ftreets. in the
coach way, with a view to attraft the attention of
thofe who wiffied to hire choices. This proved a
great inconvenience to paffengers, and an annoyance
to the neighbourhood. In confequence of repeated
complaints with refpeL to tlie concs& of the de-
fendant from many refpe&able inhabitant's of the
parith, the Trultees thought it their duty to remise-
(lrate with him. They waited upon him repeatedly
with the As of Parliament in their hands, to thew
that he was liable to be fined for Inch behaviour.
But the Defendant gave no other fatisfaaion than by
replying, that they and the A& of Parliament might
go and be d—d. The Trufiees finding remooftrance
vain, proceeded to carry the provifions of the Ail of
Parliament into execution, by fending their officer to
convey a chaife belonging to the Defendant, that was
flooding in a place inconvenient for the neighbour.
hood, to the Green-yard, Bow-greet, from whence
it was not relieved till the Defendant had paid the
fine of 23 (billings, and Ole expenses. Exafperated
at this proceeding of tr,e Trufkees, the Defendant
wrote a libel, and Ruck t: up in his &op window, in
which he denominated their conduft a
.firtgalar aB
of ehrelty and opprO'on. Thefe hail words were writ-
ten over the libel in large letters, and the names
of the Trultees mentioned below at full length. This
happened to be at the time of 3t. Bartholemew Fair,
and great crowds were of courfe attrafted by this
paper, while the Defendant himfelf, his wife, and
brother-in-law, flood at the door, explained the eir-
cumftances, and pointed out the haute' of tome of
the Truftem which were in fight, evidently with a view
to excite lime popular tumult againa them. He Rill,
however,continued his furmerpraftices, andevenmal-
treated the officer who was lint again to carry his
chilies to the Green yard; in confequence of which
he was brought to Bowilrect, where, fo far from
difowning his conduft, he offered in an infolent man-
ner, to the attorney for the Traces, to difconsinue
cepofing them for the future, if they would pay him
the fines which he had given for the relief of his
chaifes and his expencts. There were four libels
publifhed, which were charged in four feparate
counts in the indiament. But that which would be
fpecifically proved, was one which had been publilbed
ou the 3d of September. It was thick up againft the
Defendant's houfe, and began with the words, 4, A
tingular aft of cruelty and oppreffion—An appeal to
the public and neighbourhood,"—after which the
particulars were in the Defendaik's own way detail-
ed, and the names of the traces written at the bot
torn. This would be proved to be the Defendant's
hand writing. In fupport of this cafe,
Moles May was called, who proved the flicking up
of the libel on the Defendant's honk he having oh.
limed it from his own windows, and fent an officer
to take it down.

The brother.inslaw was called to prove that it was
the Defendant's hand.noitting ; but here the proof
failed, as the witnels refilled to fwear to that point.
Mr. Ruthven, th. Attorney of the Trufteeb, was'
then called, who proved the acknowledgment r.f the
Defendant, by his offer upon certain conditions to
decline cycling them any lt.nger.
Mr. ALLEY, Counfel for the Defendant.sontended
that there was here no evidence to go to a Jury. a. it
was not proved that the libel was poblifired with the
knowledge or content of the Defendant.—But find-
ing the Court of a different opinion. he addreffed the
jury in a Aunt but energetic (peed', contending that
no rational man could fairly pronounce the Defendant
guilty, ab the evidence did not prove that the libel
either was his hand-writing or that he was privy to it.
The Common Serjeant (Mr. Know Las) in lam-.
ming up the evidence, commented with no lets abi•
lity than juffice upon the heint ufners of the offence,
of libelling the Trnllees in the execution of their duty.
He obferved that nn Reneger c;rcumflantia) evident!~
could poffibly be offered, than what was here pro-
duced, of the guilt of the Defendant, as he himfelf
' had-acknowledged it, in eonfulting npnn certain con-
ditions to date expofing the Prolccutors, and there
was nn way in which be had espofed th.m except by
thefe libels. The offence was moreover aggravated
by the very moderate cost lug of the Trullee., who,
fo far frnm abating their authority, leaned only to
execute it upon repe red complaints, sod filmy a
conviction that it stab their duty nn longer in
when the Defendant appeared Cleat to every temon-
Rrance.

The Jury without ivelitation found

yet as he might have a wire and Emily, he would not
fentence him to a long imprifonment.--The Defen-
dant was then fentenced to pay a fine of 301. and to
be imp ironed till that film %vas paid.
