Yesterday Rod‘rt Robots appeared at the bar, for
the purpose, of putting in an affidavit-for the discharge
of his recognizance', when Mr. Actzy addressed
the Court :

My Lord, in this case I am Counsel for the pro-
secution, and I submit that previous to the prisoner's
making this application to the Court, he shottld give
notice of his intention to the Solicitor on the same
side."

Solicitor therefore be advised, and the prisoner again

Alward raider Thommon sto capitally indicted
for privately stealing in the dwelling-house of Sara!)
Smith, of Gloucester.place, New-road, on the 8:h
instant, two silver spoons, her property.
Jane Rogers, a servant to the prosecutrix, deposed,
that on the day stated in the in.lictment, she was up'
stairs iii the drawing•reum a shurt time; upon her re-
turn down to the kitchen, she was astonished ta see
the prisoner there ; he was in the habit of c:)ming to
'the house to purchase rabbit and other skins, hut was
not allowed ►o go into the kitchen or other apartment;
having ezpresved her surprize, and remonstrated with
him upon the impropriety of his entering the-kitchen,
he made no other reply than inquiring what she had
got to sell ? Having answered in the negative, lie
was about to depart, when, turning round, she mis-
sed the spoons, and immediately charged him with
the theft. He instantly attempted to run away, but
in his flight he dropped the spoons,' and was himself
secured.

The COMMON &WEAN? having summed up the
evidence, the Jury found the prisoner—Guilty of
stealing, but not privately.
The COMMON SNRJEANT having beltotved a suitable
commendation upon the servant, observed, that if ail
persons situated as she was, would act as the had
dune, property would be much better protected.
Jemph Le Brun and Isabella his wife, were in-
dicted for stealing six silver spoons and other articles,
the property of Hector Campbell, in his dwelling.
house.

The prosecutor resided in Suvrey•street, in the
Strand. The prisoners were natives of France, and
had lodged in his hnse for eight or nine months ; they
had only one room, which v.as ready furnished ; the
first five months they had paid regularly ; but otr
the ia•tn of February last they left the house without
notice, leaving the key in the door of their apart-
ment. in a few days afterwards, several- loons.
some bed linen, &c. were missing, and an inquiry
being set on foot, they were traced in aliaWnbroker,
where the male prisoner had.pledged
The latter, in his defence. said he was driven to
the cornr&ssion of the offence. by the-greatest dis-
tress, and not having the means of immediate as.ais-
lance from his own country.
The COMMON Situax.txt observed that he had no
doubt that the statement of the prisoner was perfectly
correct, particularly on account of the circumstance
of nearly forty duplicates being found. on flit; pri.
Loners, which fully proves that they had pawnecttheir
OW4I personal property to the last shilling ; and like-
wise on accout:t of their possessing only one pony at
the time of their apprehension.
The Jury instantly acquitted the wife, and found
Le Brun guilty, but strongly recommended hirs• to
merry. •In this feeling the Court also concurred,
and he was fined one shilling, and inithediatvly
dis-
charged.
Immediately upon the conclusion or the trial, the
prosecutor, much to his honour, privately ave
Isa-
bella Le Brun some silver, for the purpose that their
liberation might not be delayed, from the want of
money to pay the fine and fees, upon which Jo-
seph Le Brun turned round, and in a grateful man-
ner shook hands with the prosecutor. •
' If ra. Harris. John Daniel, and Thomas Short, stood
charged with stealing from the person of John Mar.
shalt a gold watch key, and a gold seal.
This trial excited considerable interest, particularly
on account of the age of the prisoner Short, which
was only twelve years and a half.
John Marshall deposed, that he loved at No. 119,
Wuod-street ; on the 27th of last month he was stand-
ing at the corner of Beaufort-buildings in the Strprid,
looking at the caricature shop; he staid about a few
militates, and then crossed over to Southampton street,
when some person touched him on his shoulder, and
asked him if he had lost his key and seal ? he felt and
found he had.

The officer who apprehended the prisoners attended
and deposed, that he saw them loitering about for a
long time, which caused him to suspect them ; he
soon atter SIW the prisoner Daniel beckon to the boy
Short ( who was standing on the side of the way oppo-
site to Beaufort-buildings) to come over to him and

ris and Daniel place Short between two gentlemen,
one of whom (who was the prosecutor) stood hinder.
most, so that the boy was in such a situation that he
could easily reach the prosecutor's seal and key ; the
prisoner Daniel then put his arm under the chin of
' Mr. Marshall, While Harris placed his coat round the
boy, so that he could not be seen by any one ; in two
minutes they all separated; the officer secured Har-
ris and the boy, upon which Daniel immediately ran
off, but was overtaken in Covent-gas-den. The buy
was searched, and in the lining of his trowsers was
discovered the key and seal in question, and a small
pair of sharp scissors, which, with the circumstance
of their talking together before the robbery, and the
prisoner Daniel beckoning the boy, left no doubt that
the prisoners bad committed the robbery, and that
they were confederates.—Ge4 but Short wasstrong-
ly recommended to mercy. •
Thomas Short in.appearance seemed a respectable
boy, at least his parents were of most undeniable
character; they hid attempted to bring up their son
• in the paths of honesty, and for that purpose had sent
him to the Lancasterian school, and had no other
idea, but that he attended there regularly every day,
but that the facts of this robbery have proved it to
be otherwise.
The boy, in his defence, stated, that, when on his
*road ro school, he had been enticed to commit.this
act by the prisoners Daniel and Harris.
The Common Sznaaatcr, when summing up the
evidence, remarked to the fury, that the boy was at
an age to know right from wrong, and there is not'
the least doubt but that he well knew he avai doing
wpors when coMmiting the theft, on account Of bisj
