On this ladietemat be was found Guilty of stealing to the
value of 1194.
Robert Welds was indicted for stealing in the dwelling
house of George Vipond, ten silver spoons, the property of
the said George Vipond, his master.
In the evidence for the prosecution, it was elated
that Mr. Vipond who is a linen draper, residing at
No. 2, Hatton Garden, hired the prisoner as a eon&
:dentist shopinsu, In July 1822, at a salary of 21. Ws. a
week, which was to include remuneration for the services of
ibis wife, alto was also to serve in the shop,. and to take
care of the house, Mr. Vipond's family residing in the
eonn'ry. lathe month of October last. in consequence of
some suspicion arising in his mind, Mr. Vipond sent for
an officer, and had the lock of a desk which the prisoner
used in the shop broken open. A qnantity of duplicates
were found these, and amongst others, a duplicate of
the spouse in question, which were pawned by the
prisoner under the name of " James," at Mr. Doncaster's,
to-Skins', Street. Mr. Vipond denied having ever entered
into se engagement with the prisoner, in any other miss.
meter titan that of his servant, who, he swore most
positivity 'be had no interest whatever in the business. He
also disded having ever sanctioned or known of any money
tieing Miaowed upon pledge for the purpose of sustaining
the ere house.
house.
' ' The'pris i, in his defence. asserted that Mr.'Vipond
and himself commenced business in 1d22, as partners; and
that Mr. Vipond well knew of hit having hero obliged to
pawn articles to pay for geod which peewee had refused to
leave without the money, on Mr.,Viponil's credit. He
called two shopteen, who swore !kat they had been on
one or two occasions directed by the prisoner to pawn
some *articles for money, which was applied to the purposes
of the business, and in one of these instances Mr. Vipond
was made sequaintetrwith the circumstances afterwards.
The prisoner also called witnesses, from whom he re-
ceived an excellent character. Verdict—Not Guilty. '
The same prisoner was then put to the bar upon another
indictment, charging him with stealing, under s' 'ler
circumstances, a quantity of Irish linen and other articles,
to a very large amount.
In this case the various articles were proved to have been
pawned by the prisoner at various places, and the prose-
eater's books produced, (it being abandoned on the part
of the defendant, that he was partner with the prosecutor,)
is thew that the prisoner, by *lions alone the hook', had

In theeourse of the prosecutor's cross-examination, be said,
be wst a bankrupt in 1820'; and that he hal prosecuted a
person named. Oldtield about that time in the Court of
King's Bench, far keeping a gaining-house. He obtained
a conviction, bet never took any steps to have the defend-
ant brought up for jedgment ; and he did not know that
the Attorosy General had interfered for that purpose. '
It was not proved that any two of the articles produced
had been pawned it the same time ; each pawning, there-
fore, constituted the ground 'of a separate indictment;
consequently,
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty of Idealist Oa the
Moe of 395.

John ilaso* Stood indicted for embezzling thirtnnsonf
161.4.. 7d., the property of his employers, the East India
Company.
Upon the motion of Mr. Sergeant Rose: Neer, the trial
was postponed until next Sessions, in consequence of the
absence of a material witness fur the prosecution.
Ham. Day was Indicted fur stealing a handkerchief from
the person of John Schack. The charge was clearly
proved, but the street keeper of St. Densteo's in the West,
into whose care the handkerchief had been delivered,. pro.
iseed a different bandkerchief, with the prosecutors initials
upon it, which .hwswore was the same.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty; but requested that
the street keeper might not he allowed his expenses.
The itteoltDitit replied, that it was probable the officer
lost the handkerchief, and wishing to put the prosecutor In
as good a condition as before, substituted another.
'the Jury reminded the Court that he had sworn it was
ebeeanse handkerchief.
The Raeottoca.—So he did, gentlemen.
The Jury.—Thefi we wish him not to he allowed Lis
messes.
John Adams, a most rnffianly looking fellow, was indicted
for assaulting James Wright, on the night, of the 2d of
December, with intent to rob him.
The prosecutor stated tliat he lodged at No. 12, Broad
Street, tiohlen Square, and was going to see a friend in
Blackfriari Road on Tuesday.eveniog. between 8 and 9
o'clock. In passing along Fleet Street he met the prisoner,
who stared him daringly in the face, and turning round
followed him, tapped him oo the shoulder, -and asked him
far charity. The prosecutor told him be was no object of
charity, and several times bade him begone, or he would
give him in charge to the watch; the prisoner, however,
continued to walk along ride of him, and importune him
for money; until he came to the corner of Blackfriars
Bridge, when, suddenly seizing the prosecutor by the
collar, be told him that" money he wanted, and money he
would have." The prosecutor called out to the waterline
to call the watch, upon which the prisoner struck him a
tremendous blow with his fist upon the side of the head,
which be was about to-repeat when he was seized by two
watchmen.
The watchmin fully corroborated the latter part of this
testimony.
In his defence the prispner 'estimated that the prosecutor had
accosted him and followed him with improper views; and that
when he asked him for money, he told him (prisoner) that he'
wanted to extort money from hint, and that there Were a great
many characters of his description about town ; upoa which
he (prisoner) replied that he (prosecntor) was a bad man, and
deserved "a lick on the head," and thereupon struck him.
He called no witnesses either to his character, or in support
of his story, although be mentioned circumstances that (were
they One) easily admitted of proof.
The Jury, without allowing the Recorder to complete his
. summing op, found the prisoner Guilty, aeding, " under very
aggravating circumstances."
The Recoils:Mt ordered him to be brought op for judgment
immediately. It was evident, he said, that the prisoner was
One of those detestable characters that ought to be do-ten from
society. It was most fortunate for him that the prosecutor had
nerve sullielent to resist giving him any money, for if he had,
the prisoner would then have bed. to answer for his life, end-if.
convicted (of which there cued be little doubt), the sentence
of death would have been executed to the uttermost. As it
was, however, his crime stopped short of being capital; tad
the greatest pun.shmetat the Act of Parliament prescribed for
it was transportation beyond the seas for a period of seven
years: to wide,' puLishment the Court accordi, gly seuteoced

her husband (see the report from the °oddball Police

She has resided with her husband io the prison,. until

LEVIV V. IDWAnDik
Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN stated this wu an edict* to re-
cover compensation in damages for a wanton sod enpro-
coked assault, committed by the defendant on the ploetiff
on the 25th August 1522, The plaintiff was a respectable
man attached to the Neapulitse legation, and the defend.
ant was a paper monger, and also • *constable, belonging
to the parish of Wisirechapel. Os the day in question.
which was Sunday, I'm platetiftwiti walking with a friend
across Stepney Fields, when they observed it squabble be-
tween two boys. The defeddiat gibed in and seised see
of them, placing a pair of handcoffs'on hint at the same time.
The plaintiff seeing this, remonstrated in civil terms with
the defendant on the severity, as well as illegality of such
treatment ; but the other became outrageously indignant at
his interference, immediately Collared him and having
struck him with a cane, marched bits along like a common
thief to the wstehhonse, followed by an immense mob. He
was next day brought to the poliCe oilier, but the Alagis-
trate considered the charge to be altogether witheut foun-
dation. The Learned Sergeant submitted, that if the
defendant had in reality any authority as a police officer,
he ought to exercise it in a much leis violent. way, and not
offer Injuries and Insults to respectable people, who keew
how to conduct themselves.

After witnesses and Counsel had been heard,
Mr. Justice Eluntwooa, in his charge, warned the jury
against being led away by the warmth of declamation on
any subject ; and after minutely detailing the evidence on
both side., he left it to them to say to which party they
gave their belief. At the same time, be observed, that the
plaintiff should not have interfered to interrupt the officers
in the execution of their 'duty, without the case bad been
moat manifestly oppressive. litre the boys were concerned
in an illegal act, and the officers were therefore justified in
a►resting them. On the whole, if the jury were of opinion
that the defendant was not entitled to their verdict, they
ivoeld find for the plaintiff, with such moderate compensa-
tion as the case deserved.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages,
4th. which carries cost..
