'whOte relations he gained liis liberty.= When he saw

--while we larkent the crime, s4e cannot help approv-
ing tbe.motive. If I could strip the cause of its gra-
vity, 1 would make use of a trite expression, which
is ever grateful to the ear—that 0n.... Englishman is'
worth three Frenchmen. Even in the 'last overture
for an exchange of prisoners, his Mftjesty's Ministers
wisely thought sd; for if an exchange had taken place,
it would have been at that ratio. I will not contend,
that it was the right of an individual to assume what
only belongs to a Monarch. I submit, however, that
he did not glin his purpose ; he loved his honour too
much, and did not dispose of it wisely.
The Court sentenced him to be imprisoned in Cold-
bath-fields prison for six calendar months, and to give
security for his goad behaviour for five years, himself
in £3OO, and two sureties in £1,30 each.
Prisoner---44 My Lords, I shall never be able to
comply with the latter part of my sentence ; I might
as well be confined for life."

Lord ELLE\EOLIOUCiH—" &lave yourself correct-
ly during your imprisonment, and the Court will then
take the latter part under its consideration."

FELONY.--THE KING V. OGILYIg.

William Ogilvie was called on to receive sentence,
he having been convicted of stealing a quantity of
candles front his Majesty's. stores.
Mr. EAST was in the course of aliressing the Court
in extenuation, when
Lord ELLBSsoftoccit asked-if the Learned Counsel
recollected of any instance where an address from
Counsel had been allowed in a case of felony ?

Mr. EAST acknowledged that he had been guilty
of an offence, though he assured their Lordships it
had been inulvertently committed, and he hoped for
their indulgence.
The defendant was then called on to say what he
had to alledge in extenuation of his offence? Having
nothing, however, to alledge; he was then called on
to say what he had to alledge why judgment to die
should not be passed on him according to lay( ?
The defendant was desired by the Court to plead the
benefit, of his clergy, which he accordingly when
• Mr.JusticeGaosz declared the sentence of the Court
to be, the prisoner having already suffered six months
imprisonment, that he be imprisoned for the space of
six calendar months farther in the jail of Winchester;
to pay a fine of one skilling, and.be then discharged.

The Cork mail-Coach, which left Dublin on Friday-
se'nnight, was stopped at the Grange turnpike, only
three miles from that city, by a gang of fellows, who
required the guards to lay down their fire arms, which
they did, at the persuasion of the passengers, after a
.long parley. The robbers, on being put in possession
lof them said, " that was all they wanted, if the coach
was filled with gold they would not touch it," and
' allowed the Cbach to proceed without further moles-
tation. Four of the gang have been apprehended.
Late on Friday night, the shop of Messrs. Crook
and Co. haberdashers and hosiers, in Pall-mall; was
broke open and robbed of upwards of four dozen pair
of stockings, and other goods. The robbery was ef-
fected by the fan-light of the shop being broke, and
it is supposed the goods were taken out without any'
Iperson entering the shop, by means of a hook at the
end of a pole. A number of shops have lately been
robbed in a similar manner ; some of them are sus-
pected to have been done by the lamplighters, who
trim the lamps at midnight.
Saturday night, three men and four women were
charged at Bow-street with being concerned in a Lit-
tle-Go, at a house in Grafton-street. S. Edwards,
who had given the information, stated, that she had
been in the habit of insuring with the parties for seven
years, during which she had expended upwards of
£lOO, great part,of which she acquired by borrowing
of her triends and pawning her husband's property.
Shehad frequently paid them :Ws. of a night, and
insured for £3O at a time, but never had a hit of above''
255. A variety of other evidence was adduced which
clearly established the guilt of Bunckel, who rented
the house, and Mary. Case, his housekeeper ; alto of
W. Hardiman and Mary Patterson, who were com-
mitted as rogues and vagabonds, and the others dis-
charged.

Ann Taylor and Mary Stevens were yesterday
charges at the Mansion House, with severely wound-
ing J. Adams, and taking from him an umbrella.—
The prosecutor swore, that the prisoners met him in
Skinner.street, Bishopsgate, and demanded gs. or
some liquor; that he stepped f,rom the pavem.:nt to
avoid them, when they struck him on the head with
their pattens. W. Wright said, hearipg Adams call
for assistance, he ran out, and saw him bleeding very
,much; that he then pointed out Stevens, whom he
secured, and she gave a description of the other pri-
soner, who was taken in her lodgings with the pro-
secutor's mabrella concealed under her bed. They
were fully committed.
Wm. Shepherd, a grocer in Bishopsgate-street,
charged his porter on suspicion of being concerned
with others in robbing him of half a chest of tea.—
The property not yet being found, the prisoner was
admitted to bail.

Yesterday W. Styles was committed from Hatton-
Garden Office, charged with stealing a bundle of
linen, which was removing, in consequence of the fire
in Warner.street, Cold-Bath-fields, on Sunday. morn-
ing, the property of Mrs. Annix, widow.

As W. Welbury, of Staitbs, near Whitby, black-
smith, in the evening of the 13th inst. was travelling
from Shields to Sunderland, he was stopped by three
footpads, who; presenting A blunderbuss and pistol,
demanded his money in gross language. On inform-
ing them he was a very poor man, and had only.a
few shillings, one cf them snapped the pistol, and,
after robbing him of six or seven shillings, they suf-
fered him to proceed.
