OLD BAILEY.

Saturday, William Thomas was indicted for stealing
in the dwelling.house of William Young Knight, 18
silver forks and six silver spoons, value 201. The pri
loner formerly lived as servant in the prosecutor's
family; after being dismissed from that situation, he
called at the prosecutor's house, and during the tempo-
rary absence of the servant, contrived to steal the pro-
perty in question. He afterwards offered it for sale to
a Jew, in Holywell-street, in exchange for a pair of
trousers, which led to his detention, and subsequently
the robbery was discovered. The prisoner, when app
prehended, confessed his guilt. Several witnesses were
examined, who confirmed the above statement. Va.-
dic t —Unary.
John Lee, Matthew Smith, Henry &whitener, Joseph
Sewell, and James Sanders, were indicted for the wilful
murder of Henry Lavey, on the 80th of July, in the
parish of St. John, Hackney.
William Dove, a lad about 16, stated, that he knew
the deceased, as well as all the prisoners. On the 80th
of July he saw lee and the deceased together ; Sanders
was also present. The deceased struck Lee ; a scuffle
ensued, and they were parted. Layey challenged Lee
to fight on the following Sunday morning; they met
accordingly at Shoreditch Church, and afterwards went
to a field in Hackney-road, accompanied by the other
prisoners. Lee and the deceased then stripped, and
fought for upwards of an hour. The deceased appeared
to have the best of it. At the close, Lee accidentally
fell, with his elbow against the deceased's throat, which
rendered him insensible. Witness and some other boys
conveyed him to a surgeon, who bled him, but he con-
tinued insensible, and was taken to the'LOndon Hospi-
tal, where fit expired the same afternoon. The fight was
a fair one. All the prisoners took an active part in it.
Henry Brown, Thomas Blake, and several other witnesses gave
the same account of the transaction.

Several witneues were called to the character of the prisoners.
The Learned Jodie then summed up the evidence, and the Jury
returned a verdict of " Not Guilty."
Eliza Edwards, aged 20, was put to the bar, on an
indictment, charging her with stealing, on the Sd of
June, on the King's highway, in the parish of St. Martin-
in-the-Selds, a silk handkerchief, from the person of W.
C. Bolton, Esq. late of Furnival's Inn, Holborn.

. _
The prosecutor stated, that, on the day in question,
he was passing along Vine-street, when the prisons.'
came up and pushed bins aside; she then got before
him, and seized his handkerchief, with which she ran
off, and entered a house of ill fame.

Prisoner—You went home with me, you knew you did ; and as
you had no money, you gave me the handkerchief for Si. which you
said you would call and leave. The Jury found the prisoner—Guilty.
Samuel Merritt was indicted for stealing a horse, the
property of Joseph Hoggett.
The prosecutor stated, that he resided at Laytonstone.
On the night of the 22d of April, he turned the horse in
question into a place called the Wanstead Flats. Ow
the following morning it was gone. After making in-
quiries, he traced it, about a month after, to the pos-
session of a man named Bevan.

John Bevan stated, that he knew the prisoner, and
bearing that he bad a horse for sale, which was then
standing at a livery stable in Old-street, he west there,
and saw the prisoner. Five pounds *as the price asked
for it. Witness took the horse, and gave 21. 10s. in part
payment. About six weeks after, the horse was owned
by the prosecutor, and witness gave it up to him.
Several other witnesses were afterwards examined, who proved,
that the horse had been seen by them In the passed* of the pri-
mmer. Verdict, Guilty—Dam
A poor wretch, of the name of William Thompson,'
aged 62, was charged with stealing from the shop of
Mr. Walker, the pawnbroker, a silk handkerchief. It
seems, the prisoner went deliberately up to the prosecu-
tor's door, and took the article in question, though
young Mr. Walker's eyes were on him all the while.—
His defence was, he was in a state of absolute starvation,
which appeared to be true. Guilty—fioed Is. (which
one of the Jtsy paid), and the prisoner wlss discharged.
THE LING JAMIA I/01MR AND GIORGI ARCHER.

The prisoner, Foyle, was indicted as an accessory be.
fore the fact, in advising, aiding, and Abetting one Ed-
ward Archer to commit felony, and George Archer, as
an accessory after the fact, to the said felony.
The facts of the case, which, in the proof, occupied
the Court for several hears, are these 2—On the 11th of
April, a parcel, containing 500 one pound bank notes,
and seven five pound notes, was booked and insured at
the office of Messrs. Chaplin and Co. Spread Eagle,
Gracechurch-street, to be conveyed to Messrs. Bolton &
Watt, of Birmingham. It was the same afternoon given
to the guard of the Old Post Coach,whoi instead of keep.
ing it about his person, placed it in the right hand pocket
of the coach,and when he arrived at Birmingham,the next
day, he discovered that it had been stolen. Jaformatioo
was immediately transmitted to London, and the num.
ben of the notes being obtained, application was made
at the Bank to stop them, but it was found that the
whole had bten brought in early the next morning, in
too parcels, and transferred, first, into large notes, which
were afterwards exchanged for sovereigns. The guard
was taken into custody, and an active inquiry was in-
stituted as to the persons who bad travelled by the
coach, when it was found that a pot-boy, who bad
gone to carry some trifling articles to the guard,
saw young Archer, whom he knew, very shabbily
dressed, inside the coach, and be noticed this to the
guard ; and as this young man had been noticed
to get on the step of the coach while it was stopping
at Market•street, and had soon after quitted the
coach,, no doubt was entertained of his being the
thief; he was accordingly sought for, and after con-
siderable difficulty he was apprehended sit Lewes,
in Sussex, and was identified, not only as travelling
down by the coach when the parcel was lost, but its
coming back to London Vie same night, and exehang.ing
one of the parcels of the stolen notes the next morning
at the Bank ; and he was, on the clearest evidence, con-
victed at the last Old Bailey Sessions, and sentenced to
seven years transportation. •
Subsequent to the conviction of the principal felon,
the prosecutors ascertained that the Owner Foyle, who
was a confidential clerk in their office, lad been, what
in the cant phrase is called, theputter-lips in ether words,
that he had communicated to old Archer, that the parcel
in question was of great value, and where it was placed
in the coach ; and that old Archer directly employed
his son to steal it; that old Archer exchanged part of
the stolen notes at the Bank, and gave Foyle WOI. as his
reward for the part he took in the transaction. It was
further discovered, that on Foyle hearing, from his Con-
fidential situation, the information that was obtained
against young Archer, went instantly in search of him,
and sent him out of the why. Foyle had left th.: prose-
cutors, and gone to live at Hull, when this info. action
was obtained ; Ruthven, accordingly, went there to ap-
prehend him ; and, on being taken into custody, he made
6 a full confession of his guilt.

The caw fur the prosecution being closed, the prisoners were
called upon for their defence.

Archer protested hie innocence, but called no witnesses.
Foyle called two witnesses, who gave him an excellent character.
Verdlet—Guifty.
The prisoners were immediately called up for judgment, and the
Ransoms, after animadverting strongly upon the enormity of the
prisoners' offence, particularly that of Archer, sentenced the latter
to be transported for fourteen years, and Foyk to be transported
for seven years.
