ELECTION OF LORD m.iroß.

This contest was yesterday again renewed without
the least diminution of ardour on the part of Alder
men Smith and Atkins, while, on the other lrAncl,
the Lnrd Mayor and Alderman Coodhehere ap.
eared to be deserted, as his Lordship only polled
120 during the whole morning, and Mr. Alderniao
Gondbehere 110. The Hall was yesterday more
quiet than on the prec_ding day, and at the close of
the poll, the following statement was exhibited in the
usual manner:
STATE OF THE POLL—FOURTH DAY. • en] k.

kills, 575. The usual " fee" on the exhibition of
:he poll having taken place, loud calls for Mr.
Woofer, and also for Aldermen Smith and Atkins,
were made, and silence for a minute reigned through
the Hall. Mr. Smith having appeared, bowed, and
attempted to speak. but no sooner was the motion of
his lips observed, than the Hall rang with applause,
hisses, groans, and calls for the worthy Alderman to
. proceed. Finding that he could not obtain a hearing,
he bowed, pointed twice to the poll, again bowed,
and retired smiling, accompanied by Mr. Alderman
Atkins and his son.
Mr. litrcesus now came forward amidst conside.
fable mafusioo. Another day had elapsed, and he
regretted to say their opponents appeared to have
gained great advantages over them, but still there
was time enough to overtake them now, for there
were yet four days to poll, and it woad be kept
open till the latest minute. Their success could not
ire wondered at, when it was taken into consideration
the marches, counter-marches, and exertions that had
been. made to place Mr. Alderman Smith in the situa-
tion he now stood in. Those persons who advocated
his cause were certainly entitled to his thanks; it
was not in the power of men to have done more than
they had, for they had unceasingly and unremittingly
laboured to bring up persons to swell his numbers,
many of whom had been compelled to comeforward
in support of a cause, which, in the same breath,
they acknowledged to be wrong. It was a misfor-
tune that they should be so placed. and their•otam.
tenancei fully 'hewed that they felt it in its greaten'
extent. It was certainly a strange coincidence. that
Alderman Smith should have polled a numberinroj
actly corresponding with the date of the year, which
might be set down as the era of their misfortunes,
and from which the meeting might date all their mi-
series. The cause which he was before them to ad-
vocate was not to be considered weak, because they
appeared so far behind their opponents; there were
yet several days to keep the poll open, and they
might, in despite of all the exertions made to oppose
it, still return them, and give those who thought'
they could hold despotic rule to know what was the
streogth they possessed. The contest had, in the
present instance, been instituted to try what were the
feelings of the Livery ; and if he should be disap-
pointed, and the electors by their suffrages should
say that Mr. Smith was a proper person to fill the
office, he would, at the close of the contest, retire
without regret. The opposite party had travelled
much ; they had made great strides, and certainly
great strides were necessary 'to be made in support of
their cause. They had put on their seven-league.
boots to enable them to outstrip those who stood up
for right and justice, and had employed those to do
the dirty work which they had not a sufficient stock
of impudence to enable them to carry on themselves.
The Livery had now an opportunity of making their
sentiments known to the world, and he trusted they
would not let it slip through their fingers, but come
forward in support of Liberty and Independence.—
He again, as on the former day, declared that those
who had voted for the Lord Mayor had come foi-
ward of their own accord, without any solicitation or
promise of reward ; and atter indulging in trite ob-
servations, to Mew that the present state of the coun-
try was analogous to that of 1798, and again clUing
on the Veerymen to stop the career of eon,
which,A.asseited, had been gaining ground 04r, y
year, he retired amidst loud calls for Mr. Wooler,,
hisses,y3e4 apebuse.
Mr. VtLill. in coming forward again to 144 Was
the Livery, felt it necessary to commence with a f*w
observations on what had been said by the Gentle-
'
man who had preceded him ; he had suffered a mis.
take to escape from his lips, namely. that the persons
who had come forward to vote in the interest opposed
to that of the Lord Mayor, came with their con-
sciences strongly depicted in their countenances; now,
for his own part, he felt great doubts whether they
had any conscience at all ; however, it was possible
they might have some little portion, and since that
was not clear, it must be allowed they had come for-
ward with the little they had. He was not prepared
to deny that the allegation—that their ranks had
suffered by desertion—had not some grounds; but
he would still entertain strong hopes, that, before
the contest cloud, those who had seceded from
them, would again rally and return to their duty.—
It well the 'duty of all to do well, and 'act up to that
which they conscientiously believed to be just and
right; and be felt confident that the Livery would
do this, and return those who had the fairest claim
to their suffrages. They had been termed a rabble
by those to whom they were opposed; and he was
not prepared to retort upon them the epithets they had
thus undeservedly heaped upon them; but he would
tell them that it was from that rabble, as they were
pleased to denominate them, that they had derived
all their dignity, and had arrived at their present
elevated stations. They had arisen from the bogy
of the Livery, and once were possessed of no greater
power thaw any. one of those who now heard I*.

and of which they so loudly complained. They had
been tore!, and irt Kona measure truly, that the grand
part of the State ItAisothing to do with the present
question. an4,4l.tat they bad no hand it ; that there
were two CoostitiOns—one that employed itself to
destroy, and'llte other to save. They had bettercall
them unconstrAtitmal ; for though they both took
different methods to obtain their avowed object. yet
they were both labouring hard to obtain one and the
same end. the destruction of that which they profes-
sed to be engaged in preserving. There were too
many instances of men, who before they had got into
power, acted as the friends of the people, but who,
having once got in, turned to their own advantages
the situation to which they had been appointed, in
opposition to the interests of those who had placed,
unthinkingly, the power in their hands. He lamented
the absence of those friends whom be had fully ex-
pected to have. seen present ; but there were some,
who would, for haerest, vote for that cause, which
they could not justify, and in fact in the same breath
acknowledged to be wrong. Whether the present was
a political question or not, for the opposite side said
every thing was political, there was one thing that
was certain, that an Administration were stet such
fools as to give to any other than their friends places
or pensions. The cause he advocated had suffered
more from theirown negligence than from the strength
of the party opposed to them. The advocates of re-
form ought to act with consisteniy ; they ought to be
united, for division would ruin any cause. He would
say that that was not an honest man who wouldi
while in the possession of all his faculties support
those measures which had not for their basis the be-
nt* of the community. The result of the present
contest would have this effect—i: would shew the
strength and power they had to contend with, and
whatever that-result might be, while he had any voice
he would nctelsnenced. It had been predicted that
he had beta *quiet, or he would be made se ; he
thought that prediction would fail. It was little that
he had to. nett is- the cause in which be bad ens.
barked butifillroftkii and while he possessed that, it
should be exerret in the cause of independence. In
the most gloomy darkness a gleam of hope will some-
times brighten up the prospect. and he was not a
little rejoiced, that although the cot responding data
to the number Mr. Alderman Smith had polled, had-
been the era of our miseries, yet it had also been the
first year in which the glorious struggle that had
since so greatly preponderated, had worn the aspect
of strength, for all before was apathy and imbecility.
He would venture to predict, ere long, the fall of
that corruption which had so long ruled with undi.
vided sway; and, after again expressing his deter-
mination to uphold the cause with all his power, he
concluded by regretting the absence of his friends,
and calling on the Livery to come forward and sopa
port the cause of freedom and independence, by
which alone they could expect to overcome their
extreme distresses.

Meeting; and Mr. Wooler accompan led by his friend?,
hastened to retire from the contusion and noise that
rreaded the Hall.

years of age. and her shrieks brought the lodgers in

An Inquisition was taken yesterday, at the Sun
and Sportsman, fligh-street, Mary-la-bonne, on the
body of Mr. George Michaelweurth, (a native of
Germany), a master tailor, No. 190, earner of Fran-
cis-street, Tettenham-court-road, who was found on
Wednesday morning in the Serpentine River, in Re-
gency Park, having been murdered and thrown into
Ole water, by some person or persons unknown.
Mr. John Parton, of St, James's-market, sworn.—
Oa Wednesday morning, about half-past ten o'ilock,l
he was crossing the bridge of the Serpentine River,
Regency Park, nearly opposite the New Church,
Mary-la-bonne, and, looking into the water, he saw
the hair of a man's head rising above the water; he
went to the river side, and saw the body, face down-
wards. A gentleman was crossing the park ; he
called to him and Liforreed him of what he had dis-
severed ;he assisted him to get-the body ashore, and
afterwards to carry it to the Sun and Sportsman, in
igh-street, Mary-la bonne. When the body was
taken out of the water, the clothes, which appeared
nearly' new, were torn ; the coat was loin in the back,
and the waistcoat and small clothes were in great die.
order ; the pockets were all turned inside out; the
head was very much bruised ;.and from the general
appearance of the body, he was of opinion the de-
ceased had been struggling with some person or per-
sops before he was in the water. There was a pocket
handkerchief, past hanging out of one of his coat
pockets, the corner of which was marked M. G.
The deceased appeared to be a tradesman from his
respectable appearance.
William Peter West, keeper of the Cold Baths,
Brook-street, New-road, Mary-la-bonne, sworn.—He
assisted the above witness to get the deceased out of
the river, and Ili: account of his situation and appear.
since is true and correct.
Mr. John Walker, No. 1 an, Tottenhatn.court-road,
sworn..--The deceased had lived in his house near 12
months ; he was a respectable master. tailor. On
Tuesday night, about half-past six o'clock, just alter
dark, the deceased left his house to go to Homer-
street, New-road, Mary-la-bonne, for the purpose of
taking a house there; his wife promised to meet him
on his return home, in Edgware-road; she accord-
ingly went to meet Lim; she walked up and down
Edgware-road for two hours, and the deceased did
not meet her. She went to Homer-street, to inquire
if he had been to take the house? and was informed
that he had not been there that night. On the fol-
lowing morning he heard that a man was found in
the Regency Park, who was supposed to have been
murdered; he went to the Sun awl Spoitsman and
owned the boJy. When the deceased left his house,,
he had a red pocket-book, containing cards of his
address, and in his small.clsthes pocket he had some
silver, but no notes, that he air the deceased's wife
knew of; he had no watch with him, for he bad taken
it to be repaired at the watch-maker's a few shiya be-
fore. From the appearance of the body he was of
opinion that the deceased was attacked as be was
crossing the bridge by robbers, and murdered and
thrown into the water. The deceased being respecta-
bly dressed, the robbers might suppose that he bad
considerable property about him. There are no houses
within a quarter of a mile of the bridge.
Mr. %lamer, surgeon, High-street, Mary-la-benne„
sworn.—On Wednesday morning he was called to
examine the body of the deceased. He observed on
the bead marks of great violence in several places;
but the wound which, in his opinion, caused the death
of the deceased, was{an the top of the bead ; the scull
was fractured, and appeared to have been the effect
of a blew given by a hammer. The'effect of either
of the blows he received on the head would have-
caused immediate insensibility. He was of opinion
that the deceased bad been attacketioneated with the
violence be bad described, and thrown into the river
The Jury took a view of the body, and were per-
' fern satisfied that the deceased had been robbed and
luerdered. His clothes were in the sense state as
when he me taken out*of the water ; his fob pocket,
*s wen as the other pockets, were all turned inside
ostomeds, sad the back of biased bore the marks
of. repeated blown—The Jury, without hesitation,
returned a verdict of se Wilful Murder against some
restos or persons unkuovnus.

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, OCTOBER 2.

Thema, Striver, and Sarah, his wife, were tried for
stealing some silver, the property of John Musket,
who is a welter in the Mint. It appeared by his evi.
deuce that the prisoner was one of the labourers em-
ployed under him. The prosecutor said he had fre-
quently missed silver from the room in which the
prisoner worked; the female prisoner went one day
to a silversmith in Nightingale-lane, and offered
some silver for sale. This silversmith, warned by a
statement in the Newspapers, that silver had been
stolen from the Mint, and suspecting that which was
offered to him to be some of it, his suspicions were
excited, and he desired the woman to call on hint
9ext morning. In the mean time he found, on en-
-quiiy, that this had been stolen from the Mint, and
next morning, when the woman came to his shop, lie
had her taken into custody.
The COMMON BEB'I:ANT summed up the evidence,
and the Jury found both die prisoners Not Guilty.
Jvha Bushell was indicted for stealing 114, the pro.
petty of Thomas Hancock.
Hancock said he was a cooper, living in Old.street,
and that the prisoner was in his employ. He gave
the money in question to the prisoner last April, to
take up a bill, but instead of executing his trust he
went away with the money, and sailed in a vessel to
Calais. There be was stop; ed in consequence of not
having a passport. Its August last he was taken at
Hackney. Inconsequence of a question pot by the
prisoner's counsel, be said the prisoner was his clerk,
that he boarded with him, used to receive some sil-
ver from him every week, when he asked for it.
The prisoner in his defence said the prosecutor was
the biggest rogue of the two. (Here he was can.
timed by Mr. ADOLP/Igis his counsel, against making
such a defence, as it would do him more harm than
good.)—Guilty.
The COMMON SERJZANTIFTIIOOII, you may ex-
pect to leave the country. Such persons as you are
not. fit to live here.
Joins Kneel, aged SS, and Thomas Stoles Evan:, 40,
were indicted for stealing a quantity of lead pipe, and
some brass cocks, from an empty house in Barrossa
Terrace, Bethnal-green. The house was to be let,
and the prisoners being allowed the key to examine
tbe,premises, took that opportunity of cutting the
lead. Knock was taken on the spot, and Evans
being a well known character, was found concealed
in the dust hole, 'where he lived.
An objection was taken to the form of the indict-
ment by Mr. WALIOAD, but over-ruled by the Ita.
CORDER and COMMON SCIJEANT.-..'flit Jury instantly
found both—Guilty ; aid they were then told by the
Court thaethey should have no opportunity of steal-
ing in that way for at least seven years, as they would
b.: transported fur that period.
Thews Derwlitu, 21, was convicted of stealing
above twenty. bushels of oats, the property of William
Waterhouse, near St. Alban's.
Jailer Bigrl7, and Samar/ Tarsier, were indicted
for stealing a quantity of poeitoes, from a cart be-
longing to George Wimmill, in the parish of Brom-
ley. Bigsby had been secant to the prosecutor bar
four years, and had generally borne a respectable cha-
racter. The potatoes were coming to Spitallields
market, and the prisoner Turner was an hostler at
the Bird-in-Hand public house, where the prosecutor's
cart and horses usually stopped to watt
Turner was told he should certainly be flogged
100 yards is front of the public house, in addition to
being also adjudged to hard labour and imprison-
ment for a considerable period. Bigsby was also in-
'formed his punishment would be milder, but he might
expect. nevertheless, to be confined, because crimes
of that nature had become so common, that examples
were indispensibly necessary for the public safety.
Samuel Siam was indicted for stealing several glass
plates, glass lamp, a glais decanter, and other atta-
ch s of glass ware, the property of Alex. Frazer, Esq.
The footman of the prosecutor said, his master lived
list No. 4, Old Burlington-street. About the 26th 31
(August he missed the articles mentioned in the in-
tlictment ; he afterwards saw them at a pawn-bre-
ber'h pod knew them to be his master's property.—
t The articles had been placed is a float room, and
!he saw them there a few days before.
The clerk-of Mr.tLightfoor, a pawnbroker in Ber-
inerkstreet, said, that on the 27th of August he saw
the prisoner bringing the glass plate in a basket, which
he carried in one hand, and a glass lamp lathe other.
The prisoner passed on by the shop, but immediately
after returned, came into one of the boxes, and asked
to borrow Al on the glass. He said the property
was worth a great deal more, but that he only want-
ed that sum to make up a bill. He gave his name
as Sam. Simms, No. 1, Crown-street, St. Giles's."
The witness then gave him the money. In a few
days after a servant came to inquire atter the glass,
in consequence of which the witness went to Cron n-
street to inquire if the person who pledged the things
lived there ; it was a glass shop, but no such person
lived in time house. Yesterday week the prisoner
came to redeem the goods; witness knew him di-
rectly, told him the things were stolen, and asked
him who pledged them ? He answered, a young
man ; but on being contradicted as to that point by
the witness, he Lckuowledged that he was the person
who pledged the things. The prisoner was then
taken into custody.
The constable of the night, who was in the trazch-
house when the prisoner was brougla there, said, the
prisoner told him lie lived in Nottlit.nibtaland-stteet,
New Road. The constable went to the house, and
there learned that the prisoner had a few days bet; re
taken a first fluor at a pound a week, and pretended to
have just come from the country, but he had brought
no property there.; it afterwards appeared that his,
real residence was in St. Giles's.
The prisoner, who was decently dressed, being
called on for his defence, sa!d, that he had witnesses
to prove that he had bought the things honestly in a
public-house, and that he had others to speak to his
character. He then called the following—
, George Nash said, he had seen the prismier one
day in a public-boust in Piccadilly, near Burlington
Gardens; be never saw Simms but that once ; be
saw him come into the house; a man followed him
and offered to sell hien some glass, for which he ask.
ed 11. 100. but Simms would give no more than
225. for them, and the man let him have them for
that sum. Witness saw the glass, it was like that
now produced in Court.
The Ramapo asked this witness what be was 1—
He answered,. that be was a gratiman's apprentice,

sod worked at Billingsgate. He never taw the pri-
soner but once ; be could not recollect the day of the
month when the things were sold to the prisoner ; he
believed it was.either the beginning of August or the
,end of Jnly ; he was not drinking with the prisoner;
be was drinkirg his own beer; the landlady served
bins; he did not know her name, nor the name of
the public-house; he was not above half an hour in
she house; the different pieces of glass were taken
out one by one, and put on the table ; there were
some other people in the tap-room, but he ..00ld not
tell how many ; on leaving the house, be and the
prisoner walked together to Coventry-street, Where
he parted from him ; he did not know where the pri-
I soner lived ; it was his wife w ho came to the witness.
Mr. R ECORDER How did they find you outs •
While the witness was hesitating for an ansitiir,
the prisoner cried out to lion—e. You gave one your
direction."
The witness said, the direction he gave him was,
that he was a waterman, and told him w here he plied.
Mr. RECORDER—How was it possible that he could
find you oat by that direction ?
James Ford said he kept a lodging-house in Albe-
marle-street ; he had known the prisoner l'2 months,
and had found him to be an honest man. He bad
been employed in his house, as a servant, during six
months. His business chiefly was to wait on Gentle.
men who lodged there. He had no character with
him, but he took him io consequence of having
known his friends at Birmingham.
Mr. Holland, a private Gentleman, had employed
the prisoner for ten days, and had a good character
with him. •
James Burnett, a carpenter, said the prisoner had
been a tenant of his for two years, and he found him
to be an honest man. Witness did not know what
business the prisoner was of ; he rented a house of
witness, and paid him *2O a year :or it.
The RECORDER, in his address to the Jury, took
notice of the evidence given by Nash, as to a trans-
action said to have taken place openly in a public-
house, and to prove which no other witness was call-
ed. He also noticed the statement of the transaction
happening in the beginning of August, long before
the property was stolen. He said, if property was
stolen, and found in the possession of another, it was
incumbent on that person to account for how became
by it ; that was the rule laid down by the law. .The
.waterman's boy was the only person called to account
fur how the property got into the prisoner's posses-
sion ; but why did not the prisoner call the landlord,
landlady, or some other respectable person, who
must have been witnesses to the transaction, and have
seen such five pieces of glass produced in a public-
house And how coull that transaction have taken
place in the cod of July or beginning of Augibt,
when the servant swore he had seen the property a
few days before he missed it, which was on the 26th
of August ? It was for the Jury to say whether any
credit was to be given to Nash.
The Jury immediately found the prisoner—Guilty.
