There were also other races and matches, which
afforded considerable amusement. The meeting was
extremely well conducted by the Right Hon. the Earl

MANrION Housa.—Yesterday Thom& Morse was
brought before the Lord Mayor, and underwent
long examination, charged with defrauding Mr.
Becket, his employer, and Mr. Goodwin, a cloth-fac-
tor and agent, in Wond.street, Cheapside.-
Mr. Bou.atin, as Counsel for the prosecution, ex-
plained to his Lordship the extensive felony the pri-
soner had committed upon his employer, to whom he
officiated in the character of rider and clerk, and as

such, had it in his power to eater goods on the books
as if sold, whereas he had secretly disposed, of the
goods by pledging them to different pawnbrokers.—
He called Mr. Goodwine to support the charge, who
gave his Lordship a hag account of the prisoner's
confessing his guilt, and giving the pawnbrAter's du-
plicates for goods, at different times, to a considerable
amount. Upon making the necessary application to
-the pawnbrokers he found that some of the tickets
were out of date, and that the goods had been sold,
&c. Eleven pawnbrokers, who had taken these goods,
all attended, but did not produce the articles.
Mr: RYNE attended as Counsel for them, and
pleaded the impropriety of committing the prisoner
for felony, as Mr. Goodwine had extorted the confes-
sion and the pawnbroker's tickets in promise of favour,
from which, he said, they could not convict him of
felony. This was denied by Mr. Goodwin, and the
LORD MAYOIt said, that froM what he had heard, he
thought it his duty to send the prisoner for trial ; but
its the prosecutors had not seen the goods the pawn-
brokers agreed to shew them, the prisoner was re-
manded for further examination.
Gemonau..—Yesterday Joseph Gater, a lad in the
employ of Mr. Pontifez, coppersmith, in Shoe-lane,
was charged with stealing several copper rivets. The
prisoner was observed on Monday evening towards
dusk, by two young lads, apprentices to Mr. Pontifez,
in different parts of the warehouse in which he had
no business, which excited their suspicions. They im-
mediately communicated them to their master, wha
sent for a constable, and on the prisoner's leaving
work he was stopped and searched, and the property
produced was found concerted about him. He pleaded
intoxication as an excuse for his conduct, but on Mr.
Pontifex stating that he had suspected him for some
time hack of similar offences, he was fully committed
for trial.
MARLBOROUGH-STMT.—A Coachman to a Lady
in Berkeley-square, of the name of Warren, was yes-
terday charged by the Parish Officers with assaulting
them when on duty in Shepherd's-market, on Monday
night. The defendant was present amongst a great
many disorderly persons, discharging fire-works, and
he became the champion of the pools in resisting die
I officers. He was ordered to find bail.
Lotto NeLsott's Monument in Guildhall, will be
opened in a few days to public view. All its insignia
combine to display that glorious base on which he
built immortal fame. Under this identical spot will
open a scene on the 4th of next month, not built on
naval but civic fame ; when twenty-five new and noble
mansions will be at issue. Although they cannot
boast of immortality, they will certainly stand in need
of no repair for fifty years at lea..t. The sagacious
reader will readily perceive, that the Grand City
LOTTERY is the subject here alluded to.
CORN MARKET.—The Market to-day has few fresh
arrivals of Wheat, but tolerable quantities on hand,
and sales maintain last prices—Barley at the late re-
duction—Malt lower—White Peas a falling article—
Grey and Beans of the two kinds, nearly at last
prices—there are middling supplies of Oats, and this
trade named at little variation—Flour at late prices.

OLD BAILE)'.

YesterdiplAigNaineFitzjanses was capitally indict.;
ed*fgr stealing a gold snuff-box, Neilue.so guineas, a
gold stock buckle, gold sleeve buttons, a gold seal, 20
doibloons in gold, 259 guineas in gold, and a num-
ber of Bank of England Notes ; and
Joreph Fitzjames, the husband of Philippine, was
indicted for receiving the same property, knowing it
to have been stolen ; the articles so stolen being in
differe;,t counts described as the property of Pierre
Henri Chevillard, deceased ; of Katharine Percy, his
executrix; or of some person or persons unknown.
It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Katharine
Percy, the executrix of Pierre Henri Chevillard, de-
ceased ; of Victoria Jcane de Lane, who lived with
him as his servant ; and of Mr. Le Gout, an artist,
who had been in intimate habits with him, that M.
Chevillard was a Gentleman of emilience in France,
who had been driven from thence to England in con-1
sequence of the outrages which had been committed
in that country; that fur the last sixteen years, dur-
ing which .he had tesided its this country, he had prin-
cipaily lived in the house of the prosecotrix, whom he
meant to have appointed, and actwally did appoint,
his executrix ; that Victoria de ',ohne was his nurse
dating the ruler months of his life, while. for the be-
nefit of his health he went to live in the house of Mr.
Nml, at Somerstown ; and that during the latter pe-
riod of his existence, he being then impressed with a
desire to speak in the English language, the prisoner,
Philippine Fitzjames, had been employed to assist
Victoria De Lolme, who could not speak a word of
English.
It also appeared, that on the day preceding M.
Chevillard's decease, the prisoner Philippine Fizz- 1
jarnes induced Victoria de Lolme to open the bureau
and secretaire of her master, on pretence that he hay-
ing promised to provide for her, might have made a
will in her favour. There was found, in a concealed
drawer in the secretaire, a pocket-book, which Ma-
&title Fitzjames proposed should be opened, but which
the' nttrce opposed. There was also found a bag full
of gold, out of which Philippine Fitejames took a
coasts enable quantity, desiring De Lolme to count
cot the remain r, that .they might divide them
equally. This, VictoriaDe.Lolme refuo:d to do,
When-Philippine Fitzjames informed her that she had
taken only 50 guineas. Philippine Fitzjames then
went Lome, and on her return, in the afternoon, the
nurse deeired het to return the money which she had
talten out ef her master's statretaire. Thii Philippine
evaded,- informing Dc Lolme that she had no desire
to act Inlfairly by her. That though :he said she had
only go: 50 guineas, she had, in fact, got 6.5 or 75,
De leolme could not say which, and that she wished
a faiT tt:vision to be made. Victoria de Lohne then
insisted on Madame Fitzjames restoring the property,
when Philippine threatened dolt if Victoria presumed
to make any discovery she would throw the whole
blame on her, and effect her ruin. In the mean time,
they gold hoe, &c. fell to the share of Vie furl e. Pinl-
-1;010. Fitzjames, however, having behaved herself
tin aft unbecoming manner when the prosectittix hoer
her friends came to take possession of the effects of the
cleceesedeand a great part of the valuables mentioned
in *letter referring to his will, being missing, first
Victoria de Lolme, and afterwards Philippine Fit z-
janies.were taken into custody. The former after.
wards became evidence for the et own, in consequence
of which Joseph Fitejamcs was also appiehended ;1
when, it appeared, that after Lk wife's being takenl
into citstody he had persuaded Victoria de Lolme to
deliver over to him, foi the sake of secoriiyi the gold'
box and fie re.m.iinder of the guineas which his wife)
had foimerly been unable to induce her to give up.
These .tosrph Fitzjames, two days after he had been
taken into custody, discovered tat Blight and Lavi•n-
der, jun. Meet s of Quern's-sepiae °dice, cencealed
at tlet back' of Si. Pancras' workhouse ground. It
was olio proved, that the psiCouers, who had formerly
been in etttentely intfigertt cireemstances, had, since
Chevillard's death, been seen with a number of
guiticAs id that' posse:ision At one time.
Mrs. Percy severe with positive certainty to the
gold snuff box; which she had seen a hundred times,
and which Mr. Chevillard valued highly, being a
• pfesetit to ij#ittt froirt Louis XV I. Though Mrs. Percy
was Mr. Chevllltrd's etecutrit, he had willed this
;di and his bther Valuables to his brothers, sisters,

*qtrattity bf teoeill'en Cloth; the property of ThOrnas
l3Owerbatik and Thoth:it Monkhouse; in their
house:

towards Whitechapel; when he met the prisoner, of
whom he had some knowledge, and who asked him if
he was in work? to which he replied in tae affirmative.
The prisoner then said he had been out of employ-
ment eight weeksond asked witness if he would give
him something to drink.. Fre said he would, and
took him to a public•house in the neighbourhood,
where he gave him a glass of rum and water; and af-
terwards, gave him some porter in two other houses.
The prisoner then said he would see him part of the
awry home ; and walked with him until they came to
the end of Petticoat-lane, where witness hearing some
dollars rattling in his breeches pocket, took them out,
and folded them in a one prams! note ; but before he
had time to return them into his pocket, the prisoner
struck him a violent blow in the side, knocked him
down, twisted the money out of his hand, and ran
off ; at which moment, an accomplice, who had been
following his steps, cried out, " Charles, Charles,
have you got the thinil/e,", meaning witness's watch,
to which he replied, " Whist, whist, come along !"
Witness finding it was uselesi to pursue the prisoners,
went to the Seven Stars public-house, in Whitechapel,
which he was aware he frequented, and after waiting
some time, according to his expectations, the prisoner
came in, but en seeing witness, immediately ran ofl.
Witness followed him, crying " Stop thief !" but
was unable to catch him, and returned to the Seven
Stars, where the prisoner again came in about a quar-
ter of an hour, observing, as he entered, that any body
might take him there, search him, and do whatever
they liked with him. Witness instantly seized him,
and gave him in char& of a watchman, and on the
ensuing day he was committed to take his trial.
An attempt was made on the part of the prisaer's
friends, to prove that the prosecutor had offered to
make the matter up fir A 3. 10s. but on sifting the,
witness, it turned nut that such an offer had been
made to to him, but that he had refused it with be.
coming spirit.
The female servant of the Seven Stars public-
house, who saw three dollars and a pound note in
the prisoner's possession on the evening of the rob-
bery, 'although a hour before be had borrowed a
halfpenny to hti) tobacco, did not appear, notw•ith-
standi:ag her having been bound over to appear by
the Magistrate.
The charge bring clearly estalashed against the
prisoner, he was found Guilty—Death.
The following were also convicted cf felony ; viz.
Sarah Pulley, for stealing a gown, a petticoat, and
.other articles; Ann Edger, for stealing seven yards
of cotton; Charlotte Brown, for stealing sundry b2d-
tiLks ; G. Smith, for stealing a quantity of seeds,
garden tools, &c. and J. Smith, for stealing a hand-
, saw. And two were acquitted, viz :—Mary Williams,
and Mary Shearman, who were ordered to be tried on
another indictment.

liament did not enjoin , _ Magistrate to . 'minister
an oath in similar cases, it was an extra judicial act,
and consequently the oath so sworn by the prisoner
could not be consisleted an indictable offmce.
Mr. CONST argued, that it was a breach of mora-
lity and religion—and, being.contra bones mores, was
very properly the subject of an indictment.
Mr. WATSON, who presided, was' of the same opi-
nion. He thought the great question was, whether,
oa the face of the record, there was a charge of a
wicked intention, which had been carried into effect ?
and this was proved by the affidavit. in the first in-
stance, and by the testimony of Mr. Bell in the second.
He recollected a most learned and venerable Judge
(Kenyon), in the Court of King's Bench, to have
said, "will any person tell me, that any thing which
'is contra loan more: is not an indictable offence :"
He was sure no person would contend that the sub-
ject matter of the indictment was not an offence
against good morals ; and, if the evidence brought
that offence home to the prisoner, he thought theJuty
had a right to find him guilty. •
The Jury returned a verdict of—Guilty.
' The prisoner was then indicted for a similar fraud
in swearing that he had been called in to extinguish
a fire in the house of Mr. Jones, , on the 19th of Sep-
tember, 1809, and thereby obtaining the sum of 20s.
from gr. Bell.
This case was precisely similar to the last, except
that the fire was stated to have broken out in Mr.
Jones's premises, and the affidavit was sworn before
H. J. l'ye, Esq.—As Mr. Mainwaring, however,
came in just at this moment, Mr. Coxsv stated the
case fully, and Mr. ALLEY renewed his objection, that
'the CHAIRMAN might deliver his opinion thereupon:
Mr. MAINWARING said, that he would not perplex
himself with any of the Acts which kid been quoted
by the Learned Gentleman (Mr.Alley).—The whole
question was, did the evidence go to prove a false pre-
tence I If it did, he thought that was sufficient.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the pri-
soner was sentenced to six months imprisonmentior
each offence.
Three cases were selected out of an immense num-
' ber, for prosecution, and only two of them were tried.
Esau Ayala and Him. Cooley, two of the Vere-
street Club, who, wher,originally apprehended, had'en-
! tered into security to take' their trials at the last Ses:,
S ions, butbad forfeited their recognizances, were in-
'dieted for a conspiracy and misdemeanour.
The fiicts of the case were fully substantiated by
INicholls and Cave, two of the Bow-street patrole,
i who delivered the same testimony they had done on the
;trial of Cooke, and the • other miscreants. Cooley,
who was a corporal in the Guards, had been seen but
once at the White Swan, but he, at that time, be-
haved most indecently. Haycock had been seen in
the parlour twice—but. he never spoke, nor did any
improper act. He %vas, however, a witness of the
shocking scenes of depr.,vity perforthing there, avid,
in common with the ether wretches, laughed at the
horrid conversation which was going forward.
Mr. Beechy, the employer of Haycock, deposed as
to his general good character. Four respectable-
looking women also deposed to the same effect.
The Jury found them both Guilty—and the Court
sentenced them to three years imprisonment each.
