THE STATESM(N,

The watchman stated, that hearing a noise at Mr.
French's house, he ran to the back door, and saw
three men coming out, each with something under hit
arm. He stopped the two prisoners I the other escaped.
Mr. Justice lint.aorn, after consulting with his
Learned Brother (Burroughs), told the Jury that the
prisoners most be acquitted of the capital part of the
charge, because, in an indictment for housebreaking,
it was necessary that some personal chattel, exceeding
the value acme shilling, should be stolen, and here it
appeared that the clock was fixed to the dwelling-house
in such a manner as to become a part of it, and could
not, therefore, he deemed a personal chattel. The fun-
nel was not of the value of a shilling.
The Jury found the prisoners Guilty of petty lar-
ceny in stealing the funnel.
BURGLARY AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.

John Smith, a young man of respectable appearance,
was indicted for burglariously breaking and entering
the dwelling-house of Joseph Jacobs, Esq. and steal-
ing therein a vast quantity of plate, trinkets, and
wearing apparel, his property.
It appeared in evidence, that Mr. Jacobs resides at
Thistle Grove, Chelsea, and on the morning of the 25th
of Jane, a woman who was nursing in the house got
op between five and six o'clock, and on going to the
kitchen she found the window open. She then ex-
amined the back door, and found that one of the pan-
Dela had been cut out. She called Mr. Jacobs, and,
on a further examination of the premises, it was dis
covered that every drawer and other place of depo-
sit in the lower part of the house had been brok.•n
open, and the whole of the family plate, together with
trinkets, a valuable flute, and other articles, amounting,
in the whole to nearly 200!. value, had been stolen.—
The prisoner had sou:e time previously to this sold some
plate, which afterwards proved to have been stolen,
at Mr. Lamberts, a silversmith, in Coventry-street,
and Mr. L. had been requested to stop him if he should
come again. On the morning of the 26th of June lie
called at Mr. L's with a quantity of plate, which lic
offered for sale, and Mr. L. coctinued to keep
him in conversation until one of his shopmen precoired
an officer to take him into custody. The plate which
he then offered for sale was the property of Mr. Jacobs;
and it was also discovered, that on the same morning
he had pledged a flute belonging to Mr. Jacobs.—
James John Smith, one oldie principal officers of Bow.
street, produced the plate, and als two or three seals,
and a snuff box, which he found *you the prisoner.—
Mr. Jacobs identified these ;Irides.

The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty—Death.
The following also were capitally convicted, viz.:—

John Bezelry and Wm. limimtund, for burgl.ry in
the dwelling-house ofJa mes Pigeon, and stealing seve-
ral articles of wearing apparel.
Catherine Flanaagas and Mary Hart, for stealing
forty yards of lace, the property of ulessrs. Todd and
Co. in their dwelling-house.
Thomas Thompson, for assaulting Joseph William
Trust, on the King's hichway, and violently taking
from his person four gold seals,&r.—Seateiter of death
was immediately passed on him.

MIDDLESEX SESSIOXS.

CONSPIRieT Al/ONO SOUR CONSTABLES TO EXTORT

lION ET.

The following short narrative will render the pro-
.csetlings on Saturday more clearly intelligible :
Three lads, the youngest of whom was scarcely 20
years old, were apprehended on the charge of picking
the pocket of Alfred Nicholson of his silk handker-
chief, the beginning of April last, and conveyed in
custody to the 31arlborough-street Office. 'I hither
the mothers of the two youngest repaired, and learnt
in conrersstion with two of the officers, that if money
was to be had something might be done to prevent
their sons bein; brought to trial. An appointment
Was made for the f.,llooing morning to settle terms,
when another officer, who had nothing to do with the
transaction of the robbery, made his appearance in
the character of an agent, to negociate between the
officers and the friends of the prisoners, and it was at
length agreed that the matter should be made up for
5/. This sum the two women with great difficulty at
length procured, one of them having sold her bed to
raise the money. The understanding being that the
bill should be thrown out ; the poor women were
greatly surpti ;ed and alarmed to learn a few days af-
terwards that a true bill had been found against all
three of the prisoners. Their remonstrances on this
subject were quieted by assurances that it would be all
right, for upon the trial two of the officers would be
absent, and an acquittal must therefore be the conse-
quence. Notnithhstanding this promise the three
prisoners were, upon the evidence of these very
officers, convicted and sentenced to be transported for
life.

From the statement of the prisoners while in New-
gate, Mr. Sheriff Waithman learnt the particulars of
the negociations which had taken place previous to
the trial, and rigid inquiry was immediately set on
foot. The regular Police-Officers of Mat lborough-
street Office disclaimed all connection with these un-
derstrappers, and promoted the women's claims for
justice ; the transaction soon reached the ears of Mr.
Mainwaring, the magistrate : a strict investigation of
the whole affair took p!acc, the parties were advised
to prosecute; and Mr. Llurgess, the w.licitor, volun-
teered to carry on the prosecution at his own expense,
the two women being too poor to defray even the
common access .ry dishorsements ; the trial came on
at Hick's Hall, before Francis Coast, Esq. the Chair-
man,
and the Bench of Magistrates; Mr. Sheriff
Weidman was also in attendance, and took his seat
on the Bench.

The prisoners names were Edward Breton, William
Jonev, and William Mason. The indictment con-
tained three several counts :

I. For conspiring to cheat and defraud the parties
under pretence of settling and compounding a charge
of felony.
2. Conspiring and obtaining money upon the colour
and pretence of refraining to give any material evi-
dence upon a bill of indictment for felony, and thereby
to cause the said bill to be thrown out by the brand
Jury.
3. The general count for obtaining money by divers
nulawful, fraudulent, and deceitful contrivances and
pretences.
Mr. ALLIT and Mr. ETIITY appeared as Council for
the prosecution, and Messrs. Asmacws, ADOLPIII:Ss and
LIPORD for the defendants.

The facts above detailed were proved in evidence,
as were also the fullavring receipts given to the mothers
,1 the two lads before alluded tu

" Received of Mrs. Hutton the sum of Two Pounds.l
to be returned in cue the business is not accomplished.
" EDWARD BARTON."
The receipt of Mrs. Hewlett differed only in the name
and amount, the suns being 31.
In the defence it was contended on the part of Jones
Mason, that they had taken no part in the negociation
for, or the receipt of, the money ; and on behalf of
Breton, that he bad acted only as the agent of the
officers, and had no interest whatever in the issue of the
transaction.

Mr. Corsi. the Chairman, summed up the evidence
with great minuteness.
The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a err-
diet of liuilty against the three defendants, epee all the
counts of the indictment.

The CHAIRMAN then proceeded t•
observed, that such was the emseedty
that he feared the sentence the cow-
upon the defendants might be
punishment for the crime of whicheee
of their countrymen had pronow

iniquitous practices; and as it we
intention of that Court to admit
with mercy, their respective pot_
portioned with a view to the degrees
been proved against them. The
was, that Edward Breton and W. iy
imprisoned in the House of Correctioa, roldbath-fields,
fur the space of two years; and that William Mason be
imprisoned in the same gaol for the space of six calendar
month..

The defendant Jones formerly belonged to the patrol
at Bow-s.roet, but was discharged, and has since got
himself sworn in as a parish constable. Mason is also
a parish constable. Baton was formerly a night patrol,
belonging to St. litles's parish, and latterly a sort of
follower at the Marlborough-street and Bow-street
•offices.

THERE is nothing more common than to see the
mind enfeebled by disease, and by a consciousness
of its own imprudence, and too despondent to seek themeaos
of relief, which are often not far distant. This is unhappily
the case. morn particularly with the NERVOUS, when com-
plaints have originated in early follies, dissipation. or au
undue anxiety nbe..it the business of life. To all such a re-
turn to nature, topi the assistance to be derived from what-
ever will invigorate the enfeebled organs, assist their
tr•althy function's, and snpport the general strength. will as-
suredly relieve. It is to such ends that the Cordial Halm of
Gilead Is found decidedly benefi,ial, and for the relief of
the diseases of this class In particular, its reputation has be-
come established. To the delicate female, enfeebled by the
fatiguing routine of fashionable life, the care-worn man of
business, and those particularly whose constitutions sympa-
thise with the effects of undue indulgences in early life, this
remedy cannot be too confidently recommended. It Is sold
