NEW STREET 4,CT.

Yesterday some Juries were empanelled under this
Act, at the Guildhall, Westminster, to assess and
award fit compensation to such claimants as had
sustained any loss or damage by the tinning of the
new street from Pall Mall to the Regent's Park.
The DtPt/TY WWI BAILIFt of Westminster pre-
sided.

The first case was that of Messrs. Boggart and
Storr. The claimants, tvho are carters and gliders,
and picture-frame makert, are owners of the houses
Nes. 22 and 2s, in Air►street, Piccadilly, which are
to be taken down, as standing on part of the intend-
ed site of the new street.

Mr. Serjeant CoPLZY, at considerable length, ad-
dressed the Jury on behalf of the plaintiffs, who are
carvers and gilders in Air-stteet, and then called the
following witnesses :
• Mr. Charles Day, a surveyor, stated, that he knows
the premises of Messrs. Boggart and Storr, in Air-
street, Piccadilly. He examined them very minutely.
Ills valuation for No. 22, for ten years and a half,
would amount to £242. It would be very difficult
to procure such premises in the neighbourhood. They,
are 98 feet in depth. The loss of removing the work-,
shops would be between £BOO and £9OO. The loss
as to trade and fixtures would be two years compen-
sation, rated according to the profits of the-trade.
The fixtures might be worth at least £250.
Mr. George Squibb surveyed the premises, No. 22,
which are let to a Mr; Prisland. Examined the
Workshops, which are peculiarly well fitted up for
the purposes of the trade, and the rent for them, the
yard, &c. is, at a very moderate estimate, £2s—he
would rather think £3O more proper. The house,
No. 23, is worth £B4 a year ; it is a story higher
than the other. The premises in the back consit of
warehouses, &c. which are worth £4O a year no
difficulty could be at all in finding a tenant to pay
that rent for both. He does not think it would be
possible to procure such premises in the vicinity, for
he does not know a single place which has such a
large area behind it.. He considers persons who are
'obliged to remove, as 'entitled to two years of the
amount of their trade profits. The sum of £2095
is, in his opinion, a fair compensation. The removal
of manufacturers from a street where they have been
long established, must be, most disadvantageous to
them. He believes the plaintiffs would, by removing,
sustain a loss of two years profits, especially as they
might lose their connexion.
Mr. John Boggart, son to one of the plaintiffs;
keeps his father's books. For the last seven years the
average profit is £853. 2s. 11d. The profits of the
present year will, in all probability, amount to £l5OO.
The company employ 32 men, and have dime so for,
some time. The fixtures in removing will cost £250
as least.

Mr. Peter Philara, a carver and gilder, was em-
ployed to look out for premises suitable to the plain-
tiffs, but he could find none within a mile of their
,house. Their trade is the largest in London; their
removal must be a very serious toss to them.
The Arroasurr-Gexsamt then addressed the Jury
on behalf of the Commissioners, contending, in the
strongest manner, that a more extravagant demand
had never been made in any Court.
The Jury gave a verdict of £1400,' including
every thing.

Monday minniglit an Inquisition was taken at Yar-
mouth on the body of Mr. R. Armstrong, aged 28,
Mate of the vessel John Dougan, Captain Leggett,
from St. Petersburgh. He was landed at the Jetty on
the 4th instant, in nearly a dying state : and from
what he related to his family, &c. the Jury, after
three hours deliberation, 'returned a verdict of, Died
from Disease caught on board ship during the voyage
outward ; the Captain not allowing him that medi-
, cipe or treatment which his case required.
William Plant is committed at Bath, for trial, un-
der Lor I Ellenborough's Act, for shooting at Robert
Longman, on Combe Down, in the month of August
last. It may be recollected that this man, in a quar-
rel with some workmen who were employed in a
quarry near his house, discharged a blunderbuss at
them.—Plant lest his left arm at the time by the
bursting of the blunderbuss.

the Liberty of Romney Marsh, in Kent, on Saturday
last, before RICHARD COLEMAN, Esq. Bailiff, JOSEPH
BancsrarEsq. the Recorder, and others his Majesty's
Justices of the Peace—William Robson and William
Colcomb were indicted and found guilty of killing,

property of Mr. Thomas Dray, with intent to steal
pair of the carcase thereof—sentence—Death.

The late Mr. MA RL IND, who died suddenly at Wey-
hill Fair, at which he was an entire stranger, had
prpperty about his person, at the time he expired, to
the amount of 1,600/. which was all safelz. placed in
the Andover Bank.

Flees—Monde3r night a fire bt oke out in a physical-
herb warehouse, at the back of Mr. BeruitLes, on
the east side of Fleet-market, which occasioned much
alarm in the neighbourhood, but by the speedy arri-
val of a number of engines, and the active exertions
of the fire-men, the flames were prevented spreadifig
farther than the premises where they originated.
Yesterday morning a fire broke out in the house of
a chemist in Crown-street, Finsbury-square. The
flames, however, were speedily overcome, without
doing any material damage.

SURRENDER OF THE MURMUR.
FURTHER PARTiatTLAR9.
UitioN-HALL.--At an early hour yesterday morn-
ing a report was spread throughout the Borough,
that Robert Dean, the murderer Of Mary Halbert,
was in custody, and would undergo an examination
before the Magistrates. An immense crowd of per-
sons assemlaled in consequence of that expectation
about the avenues of the Office, and the carriage-
roal in front was so completely blockaded that it
was with great difficulty, and at the hazard of many
lives, that the drivers of coaches and carts could
farce an opening fur their vehicles. About five
o'clock yesterday morning, a young man accosted
Joseph Myatt, Constable and Watch-house keeper at
St. Andrew's, Holborn, at the watch-house, stated
that he was a murdeser, and wished to surrender
himself into the hands of justice. The Constable at
first felt so much astonishment at the application, as
to create an hesitation respecting the manner in
which he should au t, and required him to be more
explicit. The applicant then said, that he had mur-
dered a child at Newington on Friday last ; " yes*
name is Dean then," said the Constable: " I am that
unfortunate man," he replied. He was then received
into the watch-house, and properly secured. After
being placed in conSnement, he was asked by Myatt,
whether he was in a. state of intoxication at the time
he committed the murder? he .replied no; and
stated that he was never more sob= in his life. At
.seven o'clock he was taken so Giltspur.street Comp-
ter„ and information was sent to May, the Officer,
who had been extremely active in his search after
the murderer, of his surrender. May waited on the
Lord Mayor about eleven o'clock, and received the
direction of his Lordship to take the prisoner to this
Office, jn order that he might undergo an examina-
tion before the Magistrates. In the mean time C.
Jima:Err, Esq. and the Jury had assembled at the
RoCkingham Arms, Newington, to take an inquisi-
tion on the body of the murdered child, and the Sit-
ting Magistrate being informed that the prisoner did
not deny having committed the murder, considered
that the most es peditious mode of proceeding would
be for Lim to be immediately taken berme the Co-
roner, and committed to take his trial upon the evi-
deride adduced before that Officer. It was also
thought that the agitation of the public mind would
be sooner. tranquillized by that mode Wit proceeding,
and that when it was known that his committal had
taken place, the numerous persons who had assembled
would separate and return peaceably.to their respec-
tive homes. At noon the coach arrived at this Office
containing May, the Prisoner, and Myatta the Con-
stable, who receiving the order of the Magistrate as
above stated, proceeded, with the addition to the
party of Hall, another Officer, to the Rockingham
Arms, followed by about two thousand persons. It
was not observed by the Officers that the unhappy
parent of the murdered infant was standing at t:.e
door of the Rockingham Arms, when the prisoner
descended from the coach, but he soon became
known the moment his eyes were fixed on the per-
-son of the prisoner, his cquntenance grew pale with
I rage, his eyes flashed fury, and with the rapidity of
Ilightninghe darted upon the culprit, and but for ti.e
timely.anterference of the Officers, would base
avenged on the spot tlie,immolation of his innocent
One hand of the prisoner was fastened to
May, the other he placed over his eyes, nor once
dared to meet the glance of the wretched father. At
the period"when the coach arrived, the Coroner was
taking the evidence of Mrs. Halbert, the mother.—
The report of the pri oner's arrival soon reached her
ear, and she instantly fell into a strong convulsive
fit, and was carried to an adjoining chamber, that
proper assistance might be administered. She un-
fortunately fell against one of the windows, and was
very much cut about the arms and hands.

CORONER'S INQUEST.
• -
The following is the evidence taken before the Co-
roner, CHARLLS JENIIIITT, Esq.:
Mrs. Mary Halbert, wife of Edmund Halbert, and
mother of the deceased, being sworn, stated, that
on Friday evening, between six and seven o'clock, a
man named Robert Dean, who was in the habit of
visiting at her house, came for the purpose of seeing
her brother, who lodged with her ; when he came
into the house her brother called to Dean and said,
"is it you, Robert?" Dean made no reply ; her
brother repeated the question, he still made no an-
swer to his question, but said to witness, " with
your leave I will sit down, but I did not thit:k I
should find you at tea ;" witness told him that he
was welcome to sit, and asked him to take a cup t.f
tea; he took one cup, and witness's brother and mo-
ther, who were in the back room, came into the
front room, and they all conversed together. The
deceased was undressed, except her shift, and De..ts
said " let me nurse the child ; ' she at first refused,
in consequence of the child being naked, but after-
wards put the child on his lap, and he played with
her. Before Dean came in, witness and her bra
ther were talking about him, and her brother said—.
j think Dean must be gone for a soldier, for he
has not been at his lodgings these two nights;"
and witness replied, " it is a'good thing if he has,
foe he is a drunken fellow and fit for nothing else."
After Dean had taken tea, witness's brother told
Dean what they thought he had done, and he said,
that "he was not yet gone for a soldier." Between
six and seven o'clock Dean and her brother went out
together, and during their absenCe witness's husband
came home very tired and went to sleep in a chair,
'and in about twenty minutes after Dean returned
and knocked at the door ; witness's husband, mother,
and two children were in the house at the time. Dean
again sat down and took the deceased upon his knee,
and put his hand into his waistcoat and said, that
.

quested her mother to go and see the reason they
continued out so 'eery long.
Witness's mother went into the street, and saw the
deceased in Dean's arms at the top of the court in
Thomas's-street; Dean asked witness's mother if she
.would go to a chandler's shop and purchase him
some tobacco, which she consented to do, and while
she was gone on the errand something impelled wit-
ness to use from her chair, she felt a kind of internal
alarm, and she, without any motive, ran iuto the
court, and met the deceased near the house door ; she
reeled towards her, and appeared to have a red
handktachief round her neck. Witness took the de-
ceased into her arms, and the blood gushed from her
throat all over her clothes; the deceased put out her
arms, and then dropped down as if she had expired
or fainted; witness awoke her husband, and said,
" Our child is murdered 1" the husband replied,
" You are mails surely." He took hold of the deceased,l
and seeing that she was dying, he ran into the court
and said " Who did it ?" itness told her husband'
that Dean had done it, she was sure ;" . and then in-
formed him that Dean came in while he was asleep,
and went out with the deceased, with the professed
intention of buying her an apple. A surgeon was
sent for, who came and atten.el the deceased until
she was quite dead.
Re examined.—Dean took a cup of tea, and took
a twopenny loaf from his pocket, which he cut with
a knife that he-took-out of his pocket ; Dean was wit-
te.s's brother's fellow apprentice, they worked toge-
ther for five years ; it was a fortnight prior to Friday
last when Dean called at her house before ; witness
had not any quarrel with Dean ; she had given him
good advice, as did her mother also, in consequence
of his being out of employ and without money ; the
advice was, that he should not commit any rash act,
meaning that he should not commit any robbery to
supply his wants; witness had been an acquaintance
of Dean's from a child, and he had been in the con-
stant practice of calling at her house, and was al-
ways praising the deceased.
[At this period Robert Dean was brought in a
hackney coach, escorted by a number of officers,
from Union-Hall Police-office ; several thousands of
persons had collected sound the house where the
Jury were sitting and would have torn the delin-
quent to pieces, but for the spirited intervention of
the police. The above witness ran to the window of
the Jury room, from which she had a view of the
person of Dean, as he was sitting in the hack-:ley
coach ; she screamed most loudly and terrifically,'
" That is the murderer of my dear child; oh, the vil-
lain 1 oh, the monster !" &c. and fell intn an hysteric
fit ; she was removed into another room by a surgeon
who was present ; Dean was placed in a room ad-
joining the Jury roeml
Joseph Williams, the brother of the last witness,
being sworn, stated, that on Friday afternoon last,
about four o'clock, he left his lodgings, No. 3, Church-
row, Aldgate, and came to the house of his sister, the
mother of the deceased ; on she way he called at four
different places (which he mentioned to account
where he spent the time bafore he arrived at his sis-
ter's), and arrived at his sister's house a little before
six o'clock ; he shaved himself, as soon as he arrived
at his sister's house, with his brother's razor; wit-
ness's mother (Mrs. Williams) was taking tea with
his sister at the time, and witness remarked to his
mother, that he could not think what had become of
Dean, for he had not been at his lodgings for two
nights, and he suspected that he was gone for a sol-
dier, as he had been a soldier before ; witness's mo-
ther said, " Poor Robert, I am sorry for him, with all
my heart r and his sister said, " I think it is the best
thing that he could do, because he would have by his
services a provision in his bid age ;" and she said that
" he (Dean) had been a great hurt to him (witness) ;"
witness replied that " he had not, for he had acted
always like a friend to him," and rejoined that " there
was always something wrong." Witness then went
into the back kitchen and cleaned• his shoes, and
soon after some person knocked at the front door,
and witness thought it was the footsteps of Dean ;
he called to him, not having seen him, " is it
rib, Robert ?" Dean made no reply. Wit-
ness then came from the back kitchen, and said
to Dean, "we were just talking about you, and
thought that you were gone for a soldier." Dean
replied, " how could you think so ?" Witness ans-
wered, " how could we think otherwise when you
have slept out two nights frum your lodgings, and
been away two days.' Dean said that he had been
to Mr. IViDivet, in Mile-end-road, where he lived
about a year ago, to inquire after a situation, and
they had treated him kindly, and had recommended
him to an officer as servant, and he had been to
Pimlico after the place. Witness said " Pimlico is
the place for soldiers." Dean answered, " I never
willte a soldier again." Witness then asked Dean
where he slept at night ? and Dean said that the offi-
cer's servants askedlim to sleep there all night, their
master being out, and he accordingly did. Witness
it-led Dean why he had net come to his work that
• day (Friday last ?) Deaa said that he went to see
his sister, Mrs. Allen, in Elizabeth-place, I.ambeth,
and she had chided him for not calling to see them,
when he was well to do. Dean said he told his sister
all his distresses, and went from thence to his brother
'Thomas's house, to tea, and came straight from
thence to see if he could find 'witness. Witness said,
" How could you think of finding me here at this
tithe of night ?" Dean said "I thought it was likely
- you might be here." Witness thee prepared to leave
his sisters house, and he asked Deihl to lend him a
handkerchief to tic op a pair of 'small clothes, which
he did, and witness and Dean came out of the house
together. The deceased playing on the ground
at that time ; witness and the deceased walked toge-
ther as far as the Surrey turnpike-gate ; they stopped
opposite the Surrey Theatre, and 'Deanssaid that he
must call at Mr. Davenport's, in the Borough-road,
about a situation; witness told him that it was an
unseasonable time to go then after a situation; Dean
said that be must go, and turned upon his heel, with-
out bidding witness good night, and walked away,
gist wbihh way Dean went witness did not know.
'Mrs. Sarah Williams, the mother of the above wit-
messes, and grandmother of the deceased, being
sworn, stated, that on Friday night last, Dean came
to her daughter'shouse, N 0.4, Jaques-court, Thomas-
street, between six and seven o'clock ; he knocked at
the door, and was let in.' Witness asked him how he
did, he said, " I am pretty well." Witness's son
came out of the back toom and asked Dean.wherd

he had been, he said, as far as 'lrate°. Witness's
son said, " then Dean. you have been amongst the
soldiers: Dean answered„,ttitat .11e had been atter an
officer's servant's place, and hi.slept nll night there
at the request of the seri, ants, and he WAS sure that
he. had not enlisted. Between seven and eight o'clock
Dean and her son, Williams, went out together, and
in about a ouarter of an hour after Dean retuned,
he knocked at the dour, and asked Mrs. Halbert to
let him sit down about a quarter of an hour, for he
had to go to Newington Causeway, at eight o'clock,
to see after a place. Dean sat down and took a little
boy, the brother of the deceased, upon his knee, and
nursed him ; and took a piece of bread, a two-penny
loaf, out of his pocket; he took a knife from another
pocket, and cut a slice off and eat it. The deceased
was at that time playing in the court, and Mrs. Hal-
bert asked witness if she would fetch her into the
house, which she did, and brought her into the room,
and climbed up behind Dean's chair and played with
him ; her mother took her away once, ao.d she would
go again and jump upon his knees. Dean then said,
" Mhry, I will give you a penny to buy an apple:—
Witncs said, " You shall not, Robert, you cannot
afford it." Dean said that he would, and took the de-
ceased tip in his arms, and kept talking to her going
all along the Court, and until they arrived in the
street. In about five minutes after, Mrs. Halbert
asked witness to go and see where Dean and the
child were ; she went down the Court, and at the
bottom she saw Dean, with the deceased in his arms ;
she went up to him and took hold of the child. Dean
seemed very much confused, and, in a great hurry
thrust some half-pence into witness's hand, and said,
" Just go over to Mr. Penny's shop, and purchase
me some tobacco" Witness asked him if he would
have shag or short cut? He replied "Shag." Wit-
ness was not above a minute going to the shop, and
as she was returning she heard a cry of " Murder !"
and saw Mrs. Halbert in the court, running about
like an insane person, crying "My child is mur-
dered: Witness then went into the house, and saw
the deceased in the arms of her father, with her
throat cut ; the deceased appeared sensible ; witness
asked her who had done it, and if Dean did it? the
deceased appeared to understand the questions, but
could not make any reply—a surgeon was sent for,
the deceased soon became insensible and expired.
Witness te-examined.—Did not notice what kind
of a knife it was that Deals used to cut his bread
with ; there was no other person in the Cotirt besides
Dean, at .he time she saw the deceased in his arms.

Mr. Roby Weston, surgeon, Brighton-place, New
lient•road, being sworn, stated, that on Friday night,
about eight o'clock, a stranger came to his house,'
and informed him that a child had been Murdered,
and. requested him to come to the house.of Mrs.
Halbert, in Jaques.court ; he accordingly went, and
saw the deceased in the arras of her father, nearly
covered with blood. A great portion of blood was
issuing from a wound in the back part of the neck, of
about the width of
_three inches, and nearly an inch
in depth. The windpipe was completely severed, and
that was the cause of her death. Had not it been
completely divided, her life might have been saved
by the application of ligatures. The loss of blood
could not have produced death. The deceased lived
more than an hour after she received the injury.—
The wound must have been inflicted by some sharp
instrument, probably a small knife.
Joseph Myatt, an Officer of St. Andrew's, Holborn,l
sworn.—About a quarter of an hour before five o'clock
that morning, a man, who said his name was Robert
Dean, came to the watch-house of St. Andrew's,
Holborn: he said, that he came to surrender himself,
for he was a murderer, and could not hold out any
longer. Witness asked him what murder he had
done? and he said, he had murdered a child over in
the Borough. lie seemed very ninth -agitated, and
asked leave to warm himself. Witness'told him that
he might, if he thought proper. Witness took- him
from thence to the Poultry Compter. On the way,
witness conversed with Dean, and asked him how he
came to commit the dreadful act? Dean replied—
" Why, the Devil was over me." Dean begged that
he might be well used in prison: witness promised he,
should. Dean said, that be was during the whole. of
Monday last lurking about Bow-street Police Office,
in hopes that some one would recognize him; but as
no one did, he had not courage to resign himself up.
He had been wandering about ever since he commit-
ted the crime; and he went to a Chapel in Moor-
fields, and heard a sermon preached, which so affec-
ted his mind, that he resolved to deliver himself up
to justice. He said he was quite sober when he com-
mitted the act. Dean appeared perfectly composed
when he gave the above relation.
The CORONER having said a few words,
The Jury returned a verdict of—Wiyul Murder
against Robot Dean.
The witnesses were bound over, and the Coroner
issued his warrant for his committal to Horsemonger-
lane Gaol.
Before Dean was removed from the Rockingham
Arms, the Coroner ordered the .Constables to bring
hint (Dean) into the Jury-Coom. ITe was brought in,
handcuffed, by May, the Officer, ()Maim Hall.

instrument used by Dean to efect his purpose: i is

During the time the Inquest was being held at the,
Rockingham Arms, Dean was placed in a private,
room with May and several other OQicers. Dean
whispered to May, that if he were left alone with
him he would relate to him the whole particulars of
the dreadful transaction. May requested every per-
son present to leave the room, and the prisoner then
made the following Confession, verbatim:
" On Friday evening last, I met a young man named Joseph
Williams, with whom I had long been intimate at Mrs. Hal-
b%•rt's house, in Jaques-court. 'lltomst-street. I bad 11mg been
acquaiintd with a young woman, named Sarah Longman, the

daughter of Mr. toditien, at the Crapes, Church-row, Mitigate.
My affection fur her was extremely great. I hid for some time
put corropooded with her. A disputz utlappily arose: I wrote I,
to her upon the subject, expressing my r,r,ret at the unfortunate
rupture, described the very great regard wh'cla I entertained for
her, implored her to consent to.a reconciliation, and begged tint
she would write me an early losiver. She never replied to my
letter. lfer father called upon me, and wished that the comet-
, rims might be discontinued. These circomitances had an Inde-
scribable elieet upon my mind. I was miserably unhappy—was
incapable of ‘slynding to my business, and gave myselt entirely
up to despair. endeavoured to prevail Upon her to renew the
correspondence. I felt that I never could be happy in this world
without her, and determined to leave it. Thoughts of a dread-
ful description entered my mind, and must have proceeded from
the Devil. I felt that l should leave the world in a state of hap-
piness if I could murder her, and determined to perpetrate the
deed. I had been front home two days, business r-tt being very
brisk; and on Friday evening I called to see Williams, at Mrs.
Halbert's, and we both came out together, and walked in com-
pany as far as the Surrey Theatre. We did not go in. I told
Williams that I wanted to see a gentleman iii the Borough, and
should go that way. We parted, and I returned to Mr,. ad-
heres. After talking in a very friendly manner with the
I asked for a knife; and they, supposing that I wanted to cut
some bread, gave me * cue-knife. I took an opportunity of
concealing it, unperceived, in my pocket. I shortly after went
out pith the child to buy her some apples, which having done,
I returned to the court. A sudden thought came over my mind.
that if 1 murdered the child, who was innocent, I shuuld nut
commit so great a crime as in murdering Sarah ',Gagman, who
was older, and, as I imagined, hail sins to answer for. In a mo-
ment I pulled the knife oat of my pocket, put the child down
out of my arms, bell her head back, and cut her throat. In an
instadt, I imagined that I was in the-midst of Naming lire, and
the court appeared to me like the entrance of Hell. I ran away,
not knowing where I went, or what I did. I wandered about
in &state of distraction, until I surrendered anysel,f up at the
Watch.house."

In addition to the particulars contained in our Po-
lice Report yesterday; of the dreadful transaction in
the neighbourhood of Putney, we are happy to hear
that it is the opinion of Mr. SHILLITO, the surgeon,
who has the care of -the sufferers, that the wife and
child of Edmonds are doing quite well, and out of
danger. It seems also, that Mrs. Dyer (who is the
wife of a very respectable market-gardener, residing'
at the back of Edmond's cottage) is also going on
favourably, but from the complicated nature of the
wounds upon the head, cannot be considered safe for
some time. Edmends is only 39 years ,of age, and
has the character of having been a very quiet inof-
fensive man, when well, and not at all addicted to
drinking; he has always supported his family, and
brought up his children, without any parochial as-
)
sistance, by having worked as a jobbing painter in
the neighbourhood, and by the produce of two or
three cows, which he has kept on the Common.
When very young he was in the Navy, and from
some hurt he received in the service, he has for many
years complained of a distressing pain in his head,
which in spite of every assistance ended in epilepsy ;
lately he has been very sombre and religious. On the
morning of his dreadful attempt to murder his fa-
mily, he was quietly breakfasting with his wife and
children, and reading the Bible, when he suddenly
formed, without any provocation, his dreadful de-
' termination of sacrificing them.
Bow-stnerr.--/ilichael Kenlesh was charged with
threatening to murder a woman, which was proved
by several witnesses. The defence set up by the pri-
soner, as a justification, was rather of an extraordi-
nary nature, he having admitted the threats. Ile
stated that the prosecutrix and another woman be-
witched him, about three years since ; uid by means
.of

some stuff which they put into some tea, and
which he was induced to drink, he was in a trance
for several days. They also bewitched him in other
respects, so that he did not know what he was about,
by means of a black cat and a pound of pins. He
entreated the Magistrate not to suppose that he was
deranged, but that his distracted state of mind arose
wholly from the beWitching of the women, which
deprived him of the means of following his trade of
a shoe maker, and he wasfrequently so much redu-
ced, that he could not pay for the washing of his
shirt. He was told by the women that nothing would
cure him of the spells they had set upon him when
they bewitched him but crossing the sea, and he
intended to leave England on Friday morning for Ire-
land, which was his native country, for the purpose
of getting cured. The prosecutrix, who had very
much the appearance of a gymay, denied any know-
ledge of what the prisoner had been talking about as
to bewitching him ; but said he was a Roman Catho-
lic, and it was the superstitious notions of his religion
which caused his mind to be in the disturbed state it
was. The warrant against the prisoner was dischar-
ged by Mr. BIRNIE, on condition that he did not
insult or use any more threats towards the prosecu-
trix previous to his leaving England for Ireland.
Guitnuakt.—Yesterday a porter, named Kuight,
belonging to the Angel Inn Coach-office, in Angel-
street, was fined 20s. and costs, for the overcharge
of a parcel he was entrusted to deliver from the
place mentioned. He altered the charge upon the
ticket from 2s. 10d. to 3s. 10d.—Alderman WA ITH-
N said, he had hoped, born the examples which,
had already been made of offenders such as the de-
fendant, that so grossly fraudulent a practice would
be checked, but he regretted to see it still pursued
with dating impunity. Much was due to the public
Papers for the pains they had taken to expose these
practices, and he had only, on the part of himself
'and his brother Magistrates, to repeat their determi-
nation to push the law to its extremity in the punish-
ment of the evil. Proprietors of coaches and coach-
offices should again be warned, that it was an offence
against the Act to neglect, on their part, furnishing
their porters with a ticket. Porters should also know
that it was a fraud to alter one of these tickets, and
punishable by transportation.
MARL BOROUGH-STRFET.—Mary Cranky and Char-
lotte Morgan were charged with stealing pictures,
'Valued at £2,000, the property of Mr. Ei rarkl, harp-
manufacturer, in Wigmore•street. It appeared in
evidence, that the prosecutor brought paintings from
Paris, a few years since, to the value of 1.'20,000,
and the piCtures here charged to have been stolen
were a 'part of the collection, but they were much
damaged.. The prisoner Cranley was the daughter
of Mr. Errard's porter, and her father having the
key of the picture gallery, she obtained easy access.
Some of the pictures, worth £lOO each, were pledged
at the shop of Mr. Baylis, and with other pawn-
brokers, at the rate of as many pence, by both the
prisoners.—They were remanded.
