• (Within t.L.—in onr paper of December Aa, we no-
ticed the case of Charles Wormer+, who was committed
to Newgate, fey robbing Messrs. Browning and Son,
distillers, Smithfield Bars, in whose employ he bad been
for Our years, of considerable quantities of spirits of
different descriptions. By the prisoner's confession, be
had been carrying on his depredations for a great
length of time, anal was first loaner., to the robbery by a
petsOn (whose name at that time we forbore tt. mention)
a eosehman, and a man of some property, to whom he
(the priboner) hail disposed of the property he stole. A
warrant was atoned by the Lord Mayor on Snnday, to
apprehend the father, William Dalton, residing in
Notthatupton.street, Clerkeawell, and lie was in conse-
co,ence brought up yesterday before the sitting Magis-
trate, Mr. Alderman COL
The prisoner, who is Iran of respectable appearance,
btetween 50 and 60 vests of ie. was attended by Mr.
'linnet as his solicitor. Mr. Browning, jun., solicitor,
appeared on the part of the prosecution.
,The charge against the prisoner was that of being
an accessary before the fact in the robbers,, the infortna.
;ion stating that he bad seduced, excited, hired, dm Chas.
Warman, to rob his employers of two gallons of brandy.
:tees, Butler, a married daughter of the prisoner
Inane°, the wife of aporter at the Bull and Mouth Inn,
stated, that she knew the prisoner and his son, for the
last three or foot years, as acquaintances of her father.
The primary, used to call there frequently. He came to
their house on the Thursday before the Sunday on which
herfather was taken up; the former said be wanted two
gillons of brandy by Sunday. Her father wished him
tolefer ittfllTsea4ay.abietvineit was against' the rules
ta go to the. wargme on Sundays; to which Mr.
ntuno replied—",Ter miod*; Joseph will let you In."
Browningiteee said. Joseph was the name of the
%ADO? germane his father's warehouse.
slimy Bialeetothl it was at "length settled between
tiNetn, as Mr. Dalton wanted the spirits on Sunday, that
her father was to hay a tiro gallon bottle, and charge
him with it. Her father then told Mrs. Dalton, he could
go for the spirits a little after seven in the morning, and
that he would bring it to the prisoner's son's house be-
titgen eleven and twelve.
At this part of the evidence the prisoner, who bad
been evidently struggling for some time to overcome his
ernotion, became greatly agitated. He trembled from
head to foot—the colour forsook his cheeks, and he
nom have fallen, but for the assistance of the officers
near him. •
,After some pause, and taking a glass of water, he re-
covered his aelf.possession, and attributed his agitation
-to his being shocked at the falsehoods the witness was
snaring.
Jessy Butler farther stated, that Mr. Dalton said,
John (his son) would want font gallons of strong gin.
it stas at length settled, that two gallons of the gin
were to go on the Tuesday morning, and the other two
on.the Friday following. They were to be taken to the
Castle and Falcon Ids, Aidersgate.street, where John
Dalton was guard to a attack
'Mr. Hamra crows examined the witness—She allowed
that on her examination before.. the Magistrate, when
her father was in custedg, she had told a different story,
but she then, she said, disowned the truth. Since her
