OLD Itrlarr SBSVONS, OCTOBEIti.

John Rack aged 33, was indicted for receiving a
quantity of copper rivets, and other,articles, the pro-
perty of Niesstii. John and Henry Tyler, he knowing
the same t have been stolen by William Ilughe.,
journeyman copper.emith wiei the prosecutors, who
reside in Cripplegate-buildings. Hughes has since
heeti tried and c evicted of stealing the articles. It
appeared from the evidence, that several tea-kettle
straps and other pieces II copper had been stolen, on
which it was thought proper to place some in the
workmen's windows to detect the thief. Two were
stolen, and Hughes was convicted during the preserit
Sessions. Oa his inkrroation a search-warrant was
grant ill against Rad:ley's premises, where Hughes
had lodged above 18 months. Rack:ey keeps an old
iron shop in Whitecross-street, in the parish •.f Saint
Luke. On the 17th of July, Hughes had stolen two
copper straps from Mesas. Tyler's shop, which he
took borne and sent them to Mr. ltackley's by his
child, six or s,ven years old, for which he received
tour-pence. Its the prerni4es of Itackley a piece of
one of the strap. was found, which was identified as
part of the property stolen. It was in a state by no
means saleable as old metal.

Mr. ALUM contended, there was nothing here
made oat to justify the indictment, or to connect the
charge-of receiving as stolen with the prisoner at the
bar. Besides, the copper might hive been sold by
the child to the prist:nci's wife or his servant, and
might have received the full price, although she only
brought home tourpence to her father.
The Common SLBJEANT was of a different opinion,
and thought the evidence was sufficient to go Isetr,re
the Jury, wt.() were the only proper judges how fat it
was conclusive. The circumstance ot its befog un-
sal,:able was a material point for them to determine.
One witness was called, who staid, he thought the
value about thirteen-pence hallo:tiny, but he believe.)
no person would have bought them in such a state
AS they now appeased.
Ten respectable persons then gave t!le prisoner an
excellent character, atter which the tVidtliCe was
summed up by the COIIIION tiI.RJEANT, and the Jui ),
after consulnig eleven it.inuLt., bound him Guilty,
but seconitavotkul him to nstrcy on account ot his
good character.
The COMMON SECJEANT—..". I am at a loss, Gee-

rimer', to know• oo whet grounds you c.m make this
recommendation, for certainly in .t case so black as
the f.rr•senr, character can have no possible weight.—
The primer has been guilty of the worst of crimes,
and it is necessary for public security that punish-
milt should tae inflicted. No recommendation can
operate in favour of a man who encourages servAits
to rob their masters."

Mr. WALFOILD" This inAn has been exciting vw
VAIRCIA Hughes, for the List three years, to steal?"
The RiCONDSIt•-•-" You hear that, Gentlemen. I
see he is A tine fellow imieetl."

John Mangey, aged 13, was indicted for stealing a
lk hatedkerchleJ fro►n the person of George Kinick,
Holborn.

The facts were clearly made ont, and the prisoser
called three witnesses so his character ; the first said
he was a man of an extraordinary good character ;
ben the Recorder examining him very closely, it 4p.
pered the prisoner had been stied betorc at this Court
on a similar charge. He called another witness, who
said he WAS sober and clue.

RECORDER—" Go down, I have bad enough of

The RICIIIIIMR summed up, and the Jury without
mcment's hesitation teun,l him—Guilty.

sight villain."
One of the J'ary stated that be had known him for
several years, and had seen him repeatedly picking
pockets, and knew he was a desperate chancier.
RECORSER44 Prisoner, you are a fine fellow indeed,
bus I'll take care of you now. I dare say all your
witnesses are parties in your gang."
Ltlvis Bared, aged 59, was indicted for feloniously
receiving of John Barnet, his son, a pocket-book con-
taining two 410 notes, the property of Thos. Black-
S urn, knowing it to have been stolen.
Sargh Blackburn, wife of Thetas Blackburn,
stated, that on the 276 of May lad she lost a pocket-
book containing two seleaotes; she had called a
'coach to take her from Hatton-garden into the City;
she bad a bundle in which was her pocket-book, the
pt•cket-book was worth ten shillings, she stops in the
City till half-past five in Catherine-court, she left her
son behind her in the coach. The bundle remained
in the coach. She afterwards went to Gracechurch.
street to the coach.office, here for the first time she
missed her pocket-book, the bundle in which it was
was unpinned, nothing was taken bat the pocket-book
and the notes is it.

Edward Blackburn, son of the list witness, was in
the coach with his menhir, shortly atter she wont out,
he got out also and -walked about.
Abraham Langley was the coachman who drove
Mrs. Blackburn from Hatton-garden to the City ; he
and the prisoner are joint owners in a hackney-coach.
Barney, the son of the prisoner, and who was con.
victed this Session for stealing•the pocket-book, was
near the coach when it stopped in. the City. Witness,
was sure he saw the boy take something red out of,
the coach ; witness was himself taken into custody
for the robbery, and is not yet releas.ed ; he never
told Mr. Samuel that be had stolen the property.
Abraham Samuel, a confectioner, residing in Mid-1
dlesea‘street, stated, that he recollected cohost beard
of the robbery in May last; some time atter he spoke
to the prisoner on the subject; be asked prisoner
whether be knew any thing about the notes • which
were stolen t the prisoner was at this time in witness's
house; Barnet, toe son, was at home; witness asked
prisoner for what Langley, the lag witness, - was
taken into custody I he said be would not tell. Wit.
cess then went to the gaol to Langley. Prisoner
asked witness if be would take care of the coach and
horses while Langley was in custody ? he told
he would. WilISCu told pri►oonr he Nord treat
Langley that the prisoner had stole the pocket-book,
gee it to the boys Wiener said he knew no-

• •
thing about it ; afterwards tie prisoner confessed
that be had a £lO note, Is hich he offered witness fur
£9 Witness said, if it was stolen he would have
nothing to (Li with it; he questioned him about it,
.isked !tow be came by it ? suspecting it came from
t e boy. Prisoner neves- acknowledged that he knew
.iny thing about the pocket-book.
Here the CO/11110N SSItJEANT addressed the Jury,
and said there was no proof cf his stealing or receiv-
ing the pocket-book or the notes from the boy, and
that of course the Jury would acquit him.
The Jury returned a verdict ot—Not
The Common SERJEANT" Prisoner, you are now
acquitted, but nu doubt remains on the mind of any
person respecting your being the cause of your son's
ruin. That boy goes to foreign exile, to expiate his
crimes; and you return home with the painful reflec-
tion that you have ruined that son for ever. The
Court will by no means allow The witnesses their ex-
penses, and be you very cautious in future.

The following accident happened a few days since
at the parsonage,, Bungay, the residence of the Rev.
Mr. WlLaos. Two very line young men, 1)-4h under
twenty years, the Honourable islessrs. )(EPPEL, sons
of the Etrl of Autassaata, went out with their guns,
and getting through a hedge the coat of the one
caught the other's trigger, and the whole contents of
the gun lodged In his brother's leg. The youth not
wounded rendered his brother every assistance possi.
ble, but finding he could not remove him, or do him
any permanent good, fled with the greatest speed for
medical aid, which happened most unfortunately to
be at a great distance, and sad to relate, on his return
with a surgeon he found his brother bad bled to death.

MILFORD-HAI/RN, Barr. 30.—There has been a
greater number of Itish cattle brought over for sale
within these three weeks past, than for some years,

of all kinds of cattle, the sale of which was much
brisker than for several preceding fairs.
P WATERFORD, SEPTEMBER rt.
Oa Tuesday night, as Benjamin Johnson, Esq.
formerly a Captain in theWatertord Militia, and Pay-
master, was at cards in his parlour, with his family
and a visitor, the Rev. Mr. James Edward Berridge.
Mrs. Johnson being disengaged, she saw a 'trailer of
very unwelcome appearance lurking under the win-
dow. and communicated the discovery to the com-
pany. Captain Johnsen started up, threw up the sash.
and enquired the object of this untimely visit; the fel-
low retired a little and was joined by others, when a
shot was fired which touched and passed Captain
Johnson near the left eye—ihe family alarmed, with-
drew. Captain Johnson and all went to a room up
stairs, which they locked and barricaded. As they
passed to the room, shots were fired through the lobby
window, and when they were in the room, other
discharges took place, one of which lodged slugs
in the chest of Captain Johnson.—The villains entered
through tie parlour window, went through the house,
and endeavoured, though without much violence, to
open the room door; they remained within a consider.
able time, and went off, without hiking, we believe,
any thin g but two tenpennies and some keys.—
10--When Captain Johnson's family wese in the locked
room, the Rev. Mr. Seiridge, with cool intrepidity,
contrived to let himself down ftorn the window, and
had got to some distance, with the view of rousing
the neighbourhood and procuring assistance, when he
WAS seined by two fellows armed with knives, who
grappled with him; a knife was aimed at his throat;
he parried the thrust with his arm, and the arm was
dreadfully lacerated s he seized the knife, but it was
wrenched and wrested from his hold, with shocking
injury to his thumbs. He escaped, however, but he
cannot himself explain in what manner ; he crtuscti
the pill below the lawn, and fell at the other side
through loss of blood. add with great difficulty reach-
ed the house of George Cottom. Esq. where Ise re-'
eeived the most attentive kindness. TWOS Captain
Johnsoh two forniidable slugs have been extracted by
'Dr, Poole. No time was lost in dispatching an as-
, count of this odious outrage to Wates lord ; and Ma
jor Cole, it County Magistrate, traced the offenders
along this Cirrick roactat'the County of Waterfore
side, where he succeeded in arresting Mona Ph!"
one bf the viftlietOteelitylckbeg, end committed
him fully to the County gaol.
