lon. the Lord ntyor, the Recorder, Lord ELeen-
soanocH, Mr. Baron Teorsna,&c. when 14 pi.
rnnerS Were tried, twn of whom were capitally con•

ifted, viz. •
/Pat hunt, for tinting a bay horfe, the property
sf William Harding ; and
Fobs Bthir, a lad 19 years of age, who was tried
for borglarioutly breaking and entering the dwelling-
hook of George Gibb, on the 28111 of September,
and fleeting therein a ferew box, containing twenty
five guineas, and alfo other articles, the
wi prfoperty of
the profecutor. The profecutor, his e, and a
lodger, gave altogether fufficieht teftimony of the
bottle being flint up at the time they went to bed. In
the morning, when the ptofectitor got up, he diko-
vered that his hook had been broke open, and the
articles enumerated in the indinment were miffed.—
The ['dinner lived next door with his father, and the
profectitor'sfuloicion fell upon him. It appeared from
the evidence of I'. Mafon, an officer of Worthip-ttreet,
that on the morning of the robbery he went in quell
of Blair, but did not apprehend him till the following
Sunday, when he found him at the lodgings of a girl,
named Swan, in Webb-Arent, Shoreditch. He pro-
ceeded to fcarch him, and foundsmon him 2 guinea',
halt a crown, and a (even thilling piece. In Swan's
pocket he found a ring, which the at 601 declared to'
De an old one of her mother's. He laid it on the 1
window, with fume copper he likewife too errom her.
and It
He then carried them both to the lock-up honfe,
confined them fepai atcly. There was a &ring parti-
tion between them, fo that when they converted they
were obliged to fpealc very loud. The %vitae& over-
heard the prifoner define Swan-not to fret. and not to
(wear againft him, laying he knew how to clear her.
The prifoner asked her how much the lace-man (the
protecutor) had loft ? She teplicd twenty-fever gui-
neas. Tte parolee laid, " that is wrong, be only
loft twenty five pintas." He laid ago that the lace-
man would fwear to the ring. The witnefs then took
Swan out, and conveyed her to her lodgings, where
he got the ring into his poffeffion. Swan then ac-
knowledged that the had the ring from Blair, who
told her that it had been given to him by fonstiody.
When (he came back to the lock-up bottle the con-
verfation between them was renewed, and Swan told
him that the Officer had got the ring. The prifoiier
laid to her, that if the had thrown it away the would
have done right ; and Swan replied that the could
eafily have done fo, had the underflood how became
by it. The prifoner then Paid—" Mind, I depend
upon it, Sall, that you won't (wear againft me. \Vbo
was with me nobody (ball know—l'll die toyfelf
&IL"
The ring was produced and (worn to by the pro-
fecutor and his wife ; and after Baron Tromso!' had
gone over the evidence, the Jury found the prifoner
Guilty—Death.
Thomas Morrie alias Dnaor Morris (a horfe Doc-
tor ) was inclined for felonioutly fleeting from the
pylon of William Chambers feveral bank Dotes, his
property.
It appeared in evidence, that on the evening of the
29th of Augoft la ft, between three and four o'clock,
the profecutor had been in company with fume
friends he had met by accident, and got exceedingly
intoxicated—fo much fo, that in palling through
Fetter-lane, he loft his feet, and tell fenfelefs on the
flags. A young man, of the name of Lacy, a brafs-
founder, palling by. and feting him in fuch a fitua-
tion, took him up, and fent a boy for a coach. When
the boy returned with the coach, the profecutor pul-
led (claret bank notes out of his breeches pocket, in
taking out a fhilling to give him for his trouble. At
the moment they were endeavouring to put the pro-
fecutor into the coach, the Filmier came ilr, (aid he
knew the gentleman very well, and would fee him
fafe homeAller then put the profecutor into the coach,
got in after him, and they drove off. When the
e iachman came to tie Seven Dials, he let down the
front glafs, and heard the prifoner frequently repeat.
" Where do you live, where's your home ? I have
particular boasters to attend to, and mull leave y
the
ou."
The check Bring was then polled, he flopped
' coach, and the prifoner got oat, declaring he could
go no further. Upon the coachman's remondrating
with him for leaving the profecutor in fuch a fitua-
tion, he replied, he had a particular appointment at
that time, and could go no further.. Upon looking
into the coach, the coachman plreeived the profecu-
tor's breeches pocket turned infide out; he alked him
had any tricks been played on him ? to which
he could obtain no anfwer• and with difficulty '
found out where he lived. He then drove him to
