of rending Ole property from her grandfather, George
Sunshintr,
'Elizabeth Sunshine in October last lived in Cree-
well street, Spitalfieldse with her father, George
Sunshirie. Charlene Anthony was living in the sad*"
house, mg George Sunshine was her. grandtetbir.
In the beginning of October last four tea-spoons, one
Idessert :pant. and one table-spoon were missed...-
Witness questioned Charlene Anthony about them,
and in conseqUenoepf her infotmation went to the
'prisoner's house, in Frlllig.pan alley, Petticoat-lane:,
she sold bonnets, but lived priacipally by fortune-
telling. Witness pretended that she wanted her for-
tune told, and accused her of having the property
in question in her possession. Gar va swore vehe-
mently, and denied it ; witness said that all 'she
wanted was the duplicates, and that if she did not;
obtain them she should take other means. She then i
went away, and in about half an hour afterwards the
prisoner came to her house, and brought the duplial
caws, which appeared to be fleshly written. Witness
never told the Frisoner her name ur place of rest.'
deuce, but She found it out without any assistantet
When the prisoner brought the duplicates, she sak.C.,
c. Here are your duplicates : Charlotte brought them
to me."
Charlotte Anthony was the niece of the last wit-
ness, and in October last lived with her and her
father. Latterly. ale had lived at the Refuge for the
Destitute. In the month of October last witness
MLA upon the prisoner about a bonnet. Oar's
asked her to have her ioetune told, and said, II You
are keeping company with a young man, and ii he
is not married he will come to you in a dark room"
Witness was then put into the dark room, and while
in that situation she saw something in the appearance
of a man. Immediately she fainted away, and was
taken to a surgeon and bled. This brought her to
her senses; and the prisoner then said, is I know
where you live, for I have some time ago followed
you home." Witness had been with the prisoner
two or three times before. The priioner then asked
her for 6d. for telling het fortune, and said, u Can
you get any thing to make money of I" Witnesi
said, ‘‘ No ;" and the prisoner followed her home,
and asked again at the door, if she could get any
thing to make money of, and added, 4. it will never
be found out." She wanted her also to take an oath
never to discover what she had said. Witness refused
to take any oath, but was induced to go in and take
a dessert' and table spoon from her grandfather'.
house. The prisoner stood opposite the door, and
took the
,property she had stolen. She was then in-
duced to go home with the prisoner, and in the
evening went to the Royalty Theatre. After they
had come home witness was very much pressed to go
upon the town and turn prostitute. Witness was af-
terwards tried at the Old Bailey and convicted, and
was sent to the Refuge for the Destitute. While in
this situation she met the prisoner on London-bridge,
and .he then asked her—. 4 Where have.you been ever
since I saw you last ? Have you been at home ? If
you will come to Hooper's-gat-dem with me, I have
a nice little room and you and I can live together."
Witness refused ; and when she returned to the
Asylum told what bad passed : 'in consequence 'the
ptisooer was taken up.
. The Jury immediately returned a verdict—Guilty.
The. Common Stausaste addressed the prisoner—
, “ You have been guilty of a most heinous and atro-
cious crime, and although it is needless for me to
attempt to impress your perverted mist!, insensible
as it is to ail the feelings of humanity which ought
to exist in every human breast, yet I think it my
duty to inform you that you have been guilty of en.
tieing a young and innocent mind into the most
shocking crimes by your diabolical artifices; and the
sentence the Court will pass upon you will he to the
greatest extent which the law will allow. Although
1 shall not now pass judgment upon you, yet I will
inform you that the sentence witl be, that you be
transpos ted for the term of fourteen years."
Sarah Green was indicted for stealing a watch, and
a pocketbook containing a ASO nuts, trots W. New-
bold; and David Myers stood charged with receiving
the same. knowing them to have been stolen. The
prosecutor had been dining with some friends at Is-
lington. whence he returned about ten ' o'clock at
night, and in his way was encountered by the female
prisoner, and another girl of the name of Jones. He
went with them to their lodgings in. Adam-street,
Hampstead-road, fell asleep, and was robbed. Jones
was now admitted King's evidence, and proved that
the watch and note were taken to the shop of the O-
wner Myers,' who gave for the former 14s. and wh&
telling the gills that the note was a AINO one, gav'E
them'lM for it. Tile note was paid by Myers to a
silversmith 'a few days after. •
The Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict
of Guilty against both prisoners. Upon which the
COatilost SIIIJZANT wished inquiry to be made it .the
girl avid be admitted into the Refuge fur the Desti-
tute ? and told Myers, that a man who had kept his
shop till twelve O'clock at night, ter the reception of
stolen goods, Was of too dangerous a description to
be allowed to stay in the country.
One of the Police Officers, on enquiring if Jones
was now to be discharged? which was answered in"
the affirmative, told the Court that allOO had been
offered to get her out of the way.
The Court was then adjourned until five o'clock.

[ read a defence to the Court, in which he declared his
intentions to be innocent,' his object was, that a man
who had been guilty of so many crimes, and who
seemed determined to continue hii bad practices,
should be .brought to justice: he had had no previous
connections with Baxter : the witnesses who on the
trial swore away his life swore falsely ; and why, he
would ask, had they not on the former trial, when
the life of a young man was at stake, come forward
and stated what they had mow contrived to,s.wear ?
IThis of itself was a strong proof that they had per-
jured themselvei. He hoped the Curt . would take
his lamentable case into their consideration, and
temper justice with mercy. The prosecutor had re.
celled all the money back again : the reward on the
conviction of Baxter was £4O. and on its being divi-
ded, 415 came to his share; but after paying Mr.
Price, the attorney, and some other legal expenses.
he.had not Is. left in his pock/. He again declared
upon his solemn oath, that his sole intention was to
bring Baxter to punishment ; and he asked if he had
any other object, did, he not share in the plunder
He threw' himself upon the mercy of the Court.
Brod, Pelham, and Power, all, declared that the
witnesses had sworn falsely, and particularly the wit-
ness Barret. As is usual in cases of high treason, they
were sentenced to be drawn to the place of execution
on a hurdle.

Monday se'nnight, some diabolical miscreant set
fire to a hey. stack belonging to Mr. Steel of LAnatlt,
and then robbed his house while he was extinguish-

ing the lire.
A lew nights since, two men having quarrelled in
Sunderland, the one bit the other's nose off.
A young man, of the name of Stark, died lately
a: Cumbernauld by excessive drinking of newly di..
tilled whiskey. Three of his companions in the same
filly narrowly escaped a similar fate.
•A
man was stopped on Tuesday se'nnight, between
Gloucester-lane and Lawrence hill turnpike, near
Bristol, by a footpad, who, after knocking him down,
rifled his pockets of upwards of sow.
Saturday last, at ten o'clock in the morning, a
most daring robbery was committed at the house of
MATTHaw GossEt, Esq. in Chandos.street, Caren.
dish-equate. The front door having been left open
for a sew minutes only, a thief had the audacity to
walk up the hall and into the breakfast parlour, where
he began to pack up all the plate on the breakfast-
table ; but on his bearing oneof the servants coming
up stairs, he effected his escape, taking with him
only a silver salt cellar and a silver waiter, with which
he got clear off.
A Court Martial was held on Thursday on board
the Berwick, at Plymouth, on Lieutenant John
Jackson, the officers and crew, of his M titsty's late
schooner Whiting, to try them for their conduct on
the occasion of her loss in Padstow Bay : the sentence
of the Court was, that. Lieutenant Jackson should
lose one year's senioriiy on the Admiralty list, and
that veto of her men, who had absented themselves
from her without leave, should be mulct of their pay,
and receive fifty lashes each.
During the violent gale on Sunday se'nnight, a
boat, employed in carrying off an anchor to a mer-
chant brig, was upset at Spithead, about five o'clock
in the afternoon, by which accident John Evans, mas-
ter of the White Swan public house, on the Green,
Gosport, Wm. Evans. his brother, and another man,
named James Evans, not related to either of the for-
Mer, were unfortunately drowned. The body of Jas.
Evans was brought on shore on Southsea Beach, the
following morning, by a Newfoundland dog, belong-
ing to a gentleman who was amusing himself by
throwing stones to entice the dog into the water.
Mr. MALLISON, whose name has been so frequently
before the Public, leaves town next week for the coast
of Kent, to commence his distribittion of his simple
invention, which a Committee of the House of Com.
mons have unanimously declared " effectual to the
preservatidn of all who are in danger of perishing in
deep water," among the fishermen, pilots, and inha-
bitants of that coast, who usually proceed to the as-
sistance of vessels in distress. hlr. MALLBON is at
length enabled to effect this great and nati6nal pur-
pose through a subscription or loan, the chief subscri-
bers to which at present .are the-philanthropic Mr.
Nese, 0200, Sir FnANcis BURDETT. 6100; and as
the prospectus is distributing amongst the principal

soon expect a sufficient sum to be raised to answer all
