Yesterday- these Sessions cc anthenceet *hennaed:—
Liana Roger:,* alias Roger: John Liston, and CharloUe
his wife, were indicted for stealing a gold watch and
seal, a silver Medal, weighing 6 ozs. three snuff-boxes
inlaid with gold, and a number of ancient gold coins,
the property of R. Bird, Esq. privately in his house:
In the month cf September lasts Mr. Bird and his
family went down into Essex, having left their town-
house; in St. Alban's-stseet, in the care of one Mary
Stevens, who had formed an accetaintance with the
prisoners, in consequence of Mrs. Rogers coming to
see Mr. Bird's cook frequently, before the family eft
town, at some of which times her husband accompa-
nied her. While Mrs. Stev.us had charge, the priso-
soners slept in it several times. Mrs. S. however,
drawing near the period of her accouchem:nt, was
obliged to give up the charge of the house, and Mr.
Bird's cook came to supply her place. When she
left the house she had no idea that it had been rob-
bed. Not king after the cook tame, a brotherlielaw
of Mr. B. a Islhjoi in the army, came to lodge .n the
house, and one night about eleven, the cook was
alarmed by a noise at one of the back windows.. She
immediately alarmed the Major, when they proceeded
to the spot, and found that the window had been
opened, but the person had made his escare. This
circumstance naturally led them to examine whether
any thing had been stolen, and on inpecting a num-
ber of bureaus and drawers, they found that most of
their locks had been forced open, and much of their
contents had been plundered. Ann and Edw.aid
Willmore,who 'kept a chandler's shop in St. George's
Fields, and whom the pi isouets had made their cenfi-1
dents, proved that they s.w the watch, snuff-boles,
and medal, in the prisoner's peseession ; and Mr. B.
identified them as being his property. It was Edw.
Willmore that informed ag Ili:sr than at Bow-street.
Verdict against the man—Guilty, Death; but the
woman Was acquitted, as it was presuneal that die;
had acted under the influence of her husband. MK I
Bird recommended Rogers to merry, as he had re-
ceived all the property back, inclosed in a paper par-
cel, and accompanied by aletter, which he had rea-
son to believe had been done by the prisoner's father,'
who is.a very respectable roan: 1
John M.Williamson pophn was indicted for stealing
a brown gelding value L 2, the prepert) of John Car-
ter, in the Month of November. The horse was stolen
from a field near lierkoey, :sad afterwards traced I
to the possession of the prisoner, who sold it to a
horse butcher.—Guilty—Death.
There was another in &meant against the prisoner
for a aimil which he was not tried.
Mary Wright convicted of sealing a piece off
Irish linen, in the shop of Joseph Craig, a linen-dra;
I.per, in Oxford-road, in November last. In this case,
as is usual in ~uch charges, it appeared that the pri-
soner %via into the shop of the prosecutor under pre-
tence of purchasing eomeitrining article, and watch-
ing her opportunity, secreted
.the linen under her
cloak. She was, however, perceived in the act by
John Davies, a shopriaan, who seized her and gave
her into the custody of an officer. I
Catharine Harvey was capitally indicted for private-I
ly stealing seventeen pair of stockings, value delein
the shop of Andrew Patterson, in the parish of Ste
George.
William. Sterling, a sbopman, iii the service of the
prosecutor, stated, that on the morning of the 14th
of November, the prisoner came into his master's
skip and took the stockings in question, he did not
see her until the was going out of the door, and im-
mediately pursued her and took her into custody, with
the stockings in her possession.—Guilty—Death.
Fourteen were convicted of felony, viz :—J. Fish
pool, for stealing -a snuff-box, a silver mounted pipe,l
ice. Mary Till and Maria Wright, for .stealing a
watch and four bank notes ;J. Cooper, for steal-
ing six gowns ; Sarah Walker, for stealing a bank

pelisse ; J. Smith, for stealing 10 mats; and five were
acquitted, viz. S. White, alias Webb, C. Rogers, J.
King, J. Tyson, and Ann Stephens.

COURT' OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. $.
DAVIES V. SHEPHERD.
This was an action to recover the balance between
£96 and 4.0 guineas, due on account of the defendant.
Mr. Serjeant SHEPHERD opened the plaintiff's case,
by representing him as an eminent linen-draper, in
Oxford-road. The defendant, Shepherd, had mar-
ried Mss Hopkins, a young lady of fashion and •ex-
pectation, nets ly come of age ; along with the lady he
had also married a debt of £96, contracted by her
with the plaintiff for fashionable apparel ; 4.0 guineas
were paid into the Gain, and' the present action was
to recover the balance between that and the original
debt.
Several persons were called on the part of the afolairi
tiff, to prove the delivery of the goods to Miss Hop-
kins, who 'all united in representing her as a young
lady of fashionable appearance, during the time on the
close of her minority.
Her milliner gave evidence to her preparing part of
the goods into dresses for the young lady.
Mr: Serjeant BEST, on cross-examining her, said,
a Come, we would wish to know how much money
you think is proper for equipping our daughters in al
fashionable way?"
Sir JAMES MANSFIELD.-1" Don't trouble your mind
about that, you may know it time enough !"
Mr. Serjeant BEST.—" If the young lady contracts
in three quarters of a year. to the amount of
a:ftoo, her cai nage, my Lord, will soon drop off the
nls."
Serjeant BEss commenced on part of the defence,
by representing Miss Hopkins as a young Lady
who, contrary to the each nations of her guardians,
had contracted debts to a craisiderable athount. On
the second day alter she cam; of age, she married
Mr. Shepherd, against whom the present action
was brought. One point appeared to him clear and
c In on th subject: 44 if a .tradesman has a
knowledge of the ron-age of a customer, he must
cnr. ; • t., supply that customer's demand at his own
hazard." Every person agreed in'representing
Davies's lc!.”%al!dge of the minority of the lady, and
Of the slendis income she had to sustain sirchextrava,
price. On an income of £56 a-year she had contrac-
ted fash;onable acquaintance, whoie directions kept
r richly decorated in splendid attire, in such a man-
ner as to ruin any young mind. •He hoped the Jury
would by their verdict secure minors from exuava-
gant expence, by refusing their assent to the husband's
and mutes' liability of payment. PlaintifFnensuited.
PILTON AND RIDORAVE V. JONES.
This was an action to recover £2l .11's. 6d. ,for
tradesman's expences.
Mr. Serjeant BEST, on the part of the plaintiff, de-
scribed them to be manufacturers of iron-wire inclo-
sure railings forgentlemen's pleasure-grounds ; that
being employed by Mr Jones, a gentleman of Wilt.
shire, to construct a railing on his premises, they sent
Men accordingly to put up and paint the railing, but ,
owing to the wavering taste of the defendant, they
were ten days idle, waiting the coming of•new order-
ed gates from London. The consequence was, that
MI. lones refused to pay the loss of time and the men's
travelling expences, along with the extra work order-
ed by him on the railing. The Learned Serjeant
called witnesses who proved the amount of the ex-
pences incurred, and the charges to be the customary
prices of the trade.
Mr. Bru., on the part of the defence, represented
the whole expences as an overcharge, and brought in
a Wiltshire blacksmith to bear evidence to the insuf-
ficiency of the work.
• Mr. Serjeant BEST, on cross-examining this evi-
dence, qbserved, he felt Snip ised that Mr. Jones had
not employed him. Certainly, said he, your fame had
not reached him as a tradesman, though he scrupled
not to employ you as an evidence.
Theevidence said, in repily to another question from
Mr. Best, that he was in the habit of making what
they called fences. "Aye," replied the learned Ser-
jeant, ,d that's fencing with my question but did you
'ever make aWiltshire cheese-toaster for Mr. Jones?"
Mr. Serjeant BEST, addressing himself to the Jury,
Said, the whole story was, there came a Wiltshire
esquire to a London trades Man, and when the latter
had fii.ilted his work, would not give him a London
price. However, Mr. Bumpkin himself, the Wiltdiire
blacksmith, deemed the pi ice to be fair had the work
been well executed, but he said the railing, a whole
year after it was put up, when cattle and other acci-
dents had damaged it, was good for nothing—in short,
kat .v nothing of the subject. He was
pLked up on the wilds of Wiltshire, and brought wan-
der:hg thrlugh the streets of London on an errand he
knew nut the meaning of. The rest of the points, of
travelling expences, &c. were so common he would
not represent the ordinary custom to a Jury of Lon-
don tradesmen.—The Jury returned a verdict of
£24. ss. 61 for the plaintiffs.

COURT OF REQUESTS.
BAINBRIDGE V. WYATT.

The plaintiff in this case was a butcher, and the
defendant a milk-seller, in the Borough. The sum
sought to he recovered was 6s. 9d. being lir ice of
a leg of mutton. It appeared that on Satu y even- "
ing, the 9th of November last, the defendant went to
the plaintikf's shop, but having a most unfortunate
impediment in his speech, he delayed the butcher so
Img before he could make known his wants, that he
b. came impatient, and said, if the defendant could •
speak without stammering, he would make him a
present of whit he wanted. Tile defendant, Who, it
appeared, possessed a poitital genial; immediately took
pen and piper and wrote what he called a wing, the
burden of which was—" I avast that kg e mato* PP—.
which to the extreme entertainment of the persons
present; Ifr charmed with the grearest facility, and the-
butcher 'handed the leg of ritiktton down to him.

At the Middlesex Sessions, yesterday, John 1f tl6

wite. The Jury instantly found the Defendant I
Guilty ; and the Court sentenced him to two months
imprisonment in the House of Correction, and to give
security to keep the peace for;ttwo years, with sureties
to the amount of MO, and be imprisoned till that se-
curity be given:
EXTENSIVE ROBBEEN.--A robbery to a very COll-!
siderable amount, consisting of diamonds, pearls,'
rings, and jewellery of every description, was disco-
vered at the house of Countess deAraudreuil, in Park-
Lane, a few days since. The Countess haelgone into
the country, and left her house in the care of a female
domestic, in whom she had the most implicit reliance,
and on her return her servant had fled with the pro-
petty in question. The thief has .eluded justice for'
the present, but fortunately the whole of the property
which was sold and pledged, has been recovered
by three officers belonging to Mat lhorough-street.
