TUESDAY. Sitrf. 12.—(sr. ON D DAV).

Francis Laurie and John Dunbar were this morn-
', ing put into prisoner's hos, and sifter a suitable ad-
monition, sentenced, the former to 14, and the latter
Ito 7 years' transportation. This was certainly a ju-
I distinction for the first prisoner, as we re-
marked before, appears to be a mere hoy, and it is
..0 re than probable that hr was only an instrument in
the hands of his more guilty associate.
Edward 11'Lory or 1114lory was then to
the bar. Before delivering sentence, Lord Pitmilly
addressed the prisoner in a very feeling and im-
pressive manner, pointing out the aggravated na-
ture of the crime of which he stimil convicted, anti
Imploring bins, as he was so a to have done
with the things of this life, to fix his thoughts eselu-
sivel 'spout eternity. In allusion to the religious per-
auxsion of the prisoner, his Lordship remarks-a, that
whether he were Catholic or Protestant he was sore he
would Mot clergymen in this place willing il/ assist
him with their prayers and insults-00m. He then
read the sentence of the Court, which is, that the
prisoner, Fduard All. Lory or :11`Bory, shall be exe-
c-toed at the COI/1111011 Ware eel execution, on Wednesday
the 14th of October next. The prisoner appeared
much :alerted, when taPen front the liar, and remarked,
“ that others had need pray for him, as he was nut
able to pray fur himself."

Sman4 Themas, charged with stealing a Watch, lA-
lm. 40.. and some articles of wearing apparel, in the
house of l'hoinas Shane, in the parish of St. Alary-le-
Bone, on the Ist of August last, n.is put to the ba►.
The Prosecutor and his wife stated that the prisoner
was their servant. The watch anti other things mere
left in the prosecutor's bed-roons. On the night of
the Ist of August the prisoner raised an alarm that
the house had been robbed. She was standing in the
bed-rooni, the window of which was thrown open. No
suspicion attached at that tune to the prisoner. In a
couple of days, however, the prisoner seemed s•rry
anxious to leave the house, and this imlnceil the pro-
aerator to suspect that she hail been concerned In the
robbers•. Ile caused her to he watched Ity a constable,
who saw her go into a I rin a court off Oxford-
street. Upon being questioned, s•he olfered to deliver
up the things, which were found to be lodged in a
bowie is Villiers-street, its the Strand.
The constable, so far as he was concerned, confirmed
this statement.

Afro. Shane rare the prisoner an excellent charac-
ter, independent of this affair, and strongly recess-
mende.l hi r to es.erey.

The Jury found the pri%uner tiailty. 111 r. Jtaatiev

•f Wm. Archer, iu his dwelling-hunge, Nurfolk-street,
Strand.

The prosecutor stated. that having missed the clock
in the evening. He caused hand-bills to be distributed,
and soon after a person came to •ay that it was pawned
at a shop in Berwick-street, Su!io. '1 he prisoner was
soon after taken up.
John Windle, shopman to Mr..lldous, a pawnbroker
in Ilerwick-street, Soho, proved that the prisoner
brought the cluck to the shop, and had four guineas
upon it.
The prisoner, in his defence, said that the cluck was
brought to him by a person named Cnndle, who want-
ed him to purchase it. He refused to hny it; het after
some hesitation, agreed to take it to the pawnbrokers,
usher •he said he was well known. lie nrged his ig-
norance of how it came into (211111.11 r's hands, anti con-
trotted it was unlikely he would have gone with a
stolen article to a pawnbroker that knew him.
The prisoner called no witnesses. and the Learned
Judge (I{ icitsansos) in his charge to the Jury, seem-
ed to think the prisoner's guilt was established.
The Jury, however, after having retired for about
a quarter of an hour, acquitted the prisoner of the
rubbery.
Mr. Justice Hirt' AK DSON.—Oentlemen, what do you
say about the prisoner's haring stolen goods in his
possession ?
The Foreman said, they 'had not taken that into
their consideration, as it was no part of the charge
against the prisoner.
Mr. Justice Ricti.tensoN then said, the ends of jus-
tice would be much furthered, if the witnesses would
attrud again before the Oran., Jury, when a bill would
be preferred against the prisoner for having stolen
goods in his possession.
The witnesses promised to be in attendance accord-
ingly.
liadley and Andrews. two young fellows, were
charged with having assaulted and rubbed of 21. odd,
iota Catharine Barracks, in lluw•strset, Currat-gar-

Ihe protecutris stated herself to be an I rishwo•

mitt, and a soldiers wife In some regiment of foot.
She had been to Vie!Milford, and on the night in
qdestion was rrtnrning to London. She rearlied
Whitechapel about twelve o'clock at night. Being
fatigued, she called i coach, and was driven to the
end of Bow-street. The coachman, instead of setting
her down in the proper place, however, drove to a
watering house in the neighbourhood, still it was here
she was met by the prisoners. Prosecutrix had some-
thing to drink ; but in paying for it, as well as in
paying the coachman's fare, she was obliged to ex•
pose her 21. The prisoners soon after set upon her,
treated her in the vilest manner, and robbed her of
the two !minds, one shilling, and three halfpence.
She went to the public office, Bow-street, ahil had
them apprehended on the spot. She identified the
prisoners at the bar, as the persons who attacked her,
for in the scuffle she left the marks of her nails iti one
of their faces.

Being cross-examined by Mr. IV A 1.,0111), the witless'
was found guilty of the greatest inconsistencies its
her evidence. She first said she arrived at White-
chapel, then at Blue Cross-street, and lastly at
Temple Bar. It was near three o'clolk when they
reached the watering house, hut ftr the liven-ening
time, between that and twelve, when she said •he gut
in at IVltitechapel, she could not account. The two
pounds she got from her brother, a sailor, to enable
her to join her husband in Ireland. She was at one
time on the parish ; she worked at tlii'erent places :
changed her lodgings almost every week ; but could
give no names or dates at all.
Two Bow-street officers wele called to prove the
circumstances under which they arrested the pri-
soners.

Mr. Baron Obisnast told the Jury he did not think
it necessary to call upon the prisoners for any de-
fence, so inconsistent with itself was the prosocutries
story.

The Jury found the prisuners, Nut Gallia.
