oath of Job Holt, with robbing him, under% the fol-
lowing circumstances :-.Being at Moulsey Hurst
Races on the 24th of June last, between ten and
fleven o'clock at night, be went into a'booth kept by
a man named Smith, and asked for a pint of beer,
bat was knocked down by the prisoner, and held by
rwo other persons ; his watch and money were taken
from him by the prisoner, who made his escape, but '
was not apprehended till some days after. The evi-
dence of the prosecutor was corroborated by Thomas
Rumbold. The prisoner, in his defence, said the
prosecutor was intoxicated, but this received no con.
robbration, and he was found Guilty, and sentenced
to be transported for seven years.
• Josses Anderson was indicted for feloniously stealing
sundry articles of wearing apparel, from the house
of James Tidy, of Catherine's Hill, near Guildford.
The evidence •for the prosecutkiss brought the facts
clearly home to the prisoner. Being asked for his de.
!epee, the prisoner pleaded intoxication, but said he
had a good character, which be could produce, from
Lieutenant-General Peterson, for his conduct while
he was at gotany.Bay. The Jury having returned
him Guilty, he was sentenced to be transported for
seven years. Lord Middleton told the Court, that
the prisoner, in the year 1798, was sentenced to a si-
milar punishment froarthis place. •

tenced to be transported tor seven years, for stealing

Aw Arm:lemma Cass os ROBBRlM—Tuesday night
last a most savage robbery was committed at Lime-
house, on the person of a poor industiions labourer,
of the name of John Millard. From' the statement
of the poor man, given to the Rev. Jasses Rtince,
the Minister of the parish, the following are the par-
ticulars of this atrocious caw :---About half past
eleven, on the above mentioned night, as Millard was
lying down on a sack in a lime shed, by the side of
the New-cut, he was attacked by five men in a yard
in which he is accustomed to work night and day.—
Os asking them what they wanted there ? one of
them answered with an oath ..",•44 I'll soon let you
know—where is your money t'' bad
scarcely utteted these words before he violently*
itaifed the poor man by the throat, and, with the ai-
tatEIMCE of the others, having first bound his feet to-
gether, cut off his bmeches pockets, and took from
thence 151 Bank of England notes, together with
two pounds. which were in a small tobacco box, the
whole of which were the savings of 15 years of hard
servitude, and which he had alwayi carried about him.
He had often imprudently mentioned this to his fellow
labourers, and to others ; and it is more thatt probable
that the perpetrators of this brutal act were persons
in whose heating the circumstance had been related.
After rifling his pockets, and robbing him of the
whole of his property, with the exception of two
dollar's that had escaped them ; one of the villains
strongly urged that they should finish the business
by cutting the poor man's throat. To this proposal
there was a good deal of objection, another insisting
that they had got all they came for, and that he
could not now pursue them. Not, however, content
with this, Day and two -others, whose names •and
persons are well koowa to the poor sufferer, began;

and beat him with sticks on different parts of the
body. Neither his groans nor intreaties were of ant
avail, sad it is probable that in a few minutes they
would have murdered him, had not a providential
noise which was heard compelled them to desist from
their barbarous wok. They then jumped over the
wall into a road which passes by, and Made off
Some suspicious characters have been taken up, who
will be examined at Shadwell Office. ' Millard is now
in Limehouse workhouse in a very weak state.
