His Loiloaute then addressed the prisoner thus :—James
Hamlitoth yea have been found guilty after a full and suf-
fiiient consideration by the Jury. If the defence yon set
up had succeeded, you would be placed in a far worse site-
adon than you stand in at present. The tendency of that
defence was to show, that you had conspired with the pro-
secutor to defraud others, and failing in that, you now are
made to appear to have turned rouorl on this person, and
to defraud him. The evil habits of your life are m evi-
dent, by what was dieslosed here this dry during your
tri 1; end it is manifest, that it would not be safe to leave
you in this country. Several, it is likely, and among those
young persons. getting into business, have already been
your dupes.—The sentence of the Court is, "That you be
transported for seven years, to whatever piece beyond the
seas tt may be his Majesty's pleasure to send you.

NUISANCE IN HUFLYELI, STREET. •
Row ST/MT.-A Jew saltness, who sells obi clothes In
Hollywell Street, named Joseph Hart, was brought np
on a warrant, which charged him with assaulting Mr.
Urethan, a rrspentable Solicitor, in Barnard's Inn,

Holborn.
Mr. Oreetans said, that he had often been annoyed in
passing throng,' Hollywell Street, by persons who pressed
him to step into their shops to purchase old clothe*, anti
who frequently would not lake refusal, but would follow
bins down the street, recommending to his notice either an
old pair of breeches, oe n fashionable Waterloo cloak
s better as new." On Tuesday this nuisance was repeated
in a more offensive way than ordinary by the defendant,
who milted bins by the. arm, and, as usual, asked hint
eether he didn't vent some nice varing apparel? Being
irritated at this conduct, he answered hastily that he did
mat; on ethic!' the defendant became extremely insolent,
defied him to go before • Magl•trate, and made use of
scene language, which he would not repeat. tinder these
cirentostances he felt it a pubic duty to bring the offender

to this Office.
Mr, M ; ssuutt. said, lot had often heard of this species
of public atmayance. and considered that Mr. Gresham
had done perfectly rights Hart, in his defence, said
he had done nothing but try to gain. an honest livelihood,
and only took Mr. Breslow': gently by the arm, without
meaning any Olretoce% but Mr. Gresham haul threatened to
knock idol down with his umbrella. To prove the pro-
piety of hie conduct he tilled an old Jew of the same
calling, of the name of Jonas, who stated that there wad
nothing unusual or violent in the conduct of Hart. On
etas-examination, however, this man candidly admitted
that the defendant had told Mr. fireol.ant, who w ure spec.
tattles% to take elf his barnacles and go home; and then
called to some person to fetch hint a roll that he might
give him a . whipping. Under these ciretionstances
Mr. Hart was called upon to find bail, and Air. tireskorn
'desired himself to prosecute him as an example to his
brethren.
ItvingttT Us PARK Lows.--Joseph and Mrt. Thompson

door on which the prisoners had been engaged. Ile found

shawls, wearing apparel of his own, lace, and a Highland
dirk. To many of these things he could swear, and parti-
cularly to 14. e dirk, which eao mounted in silver, and the
boodle of which was set with stones, wilt a knife and fork
similarly mounted also in the sheath. When he quitted
home with his servant man, he believed all to be safe. 'rho
man and woman boils idesitilird the prisoners as having
been in the house with their brother James, who has not
yet been apprehended ; end Mr. Harrison, nephew to Mr.
-Harrison, of Warolour.street, pawnbroker, proved that on

soner, William Thompson, a dirk, corresponding in all
respects with the dirk described by Mr. MtQuiren, as hav-
ing been st..len fro ii his house. This dirk was taken out

The prisoner, Thomas, said he had only been in the house
'sixtime', and knew nothing whatever of the dirk; he never
-saw it, bought it, sol lit, pledged it, redeemed it, or knew
whets it was. lie wished he did know where it was, as he
uwas•poor enough to do any thing.

he bad an opportunity okefleetiog oo the ill effects of his
tinnily passions.

Mr. Walter, who certainty had not the good fortune to
be present *ben handsome faces were distributed, staled in
his defence, that the whole affair originated in a lifts_
takp. The truth was► that he had been tabieg a
drop of punch with a few friends, which rather derawged

to go into the yard, he there lost himself, and did nos

e female 24 years of age, was brought from St. James.,
woilt-tiouse, charged with having deserted her male chi' I,
about seven mouths old, and which had since died. It

appeared from the evidence of tliarlotte Walker, romp'.
Mon to the prisoner, that the child was illegitim tte ; that
its mother hail frequently threatetteut to abandon it ; that
having qusrrele.l with her mother, she requested witness to
acronspony her about nine o'clock on a Wednesday evening

parent left the child in the passage of a house, wrapped ua
in old wearing apparel; there it was found by some passing
stranger, who conveyed it to the work-house of tli t pa-

trate's interrogatories, she now replied that she hail
li ited the chili, and had been . allowed half a crr,vrn per

LAAIIIIETII•STRIILT.-CHARGE or Ausost.---Yesterday,
John Wells, a • Idle age I man, was charged with 1-10-
nionsly setting hi. house on fire. The prisoner bail bees
a master builder, but, from misfortune, in trade, had be-a
necessitated to earn a support for himself and a urge
family as a jnbtiing bricklayer. He occupied onelmase tor
upwards of the last twenty years in York-street, Mile end,
Oil Town, in which neighbourhood he bore a good c' a-
racter, and, until the last six months, always paid his rent
when it became due; but having got two quarters in
arrear. his landlord, Mr. Bubry, distrained on Tuesday,
and took away the goods. The prisooer thought such
proceedings very harsh, and made some observations,
which militate stronglyegainst him under his present ki-
Nation. About half past eleven o'clock the same night,
as the goo Is were taking away, the house was discovered
to be our fire, and on the alarm being giveM_the landlord of
the Duke of York, next door, and some Ober neigh! ours
went in, and in a hack kitchen on .the grtoted floor, dive,
wed a I.r ge pile of wood extending from the fire Place to
the middle of the floor, to be all in a blase; this pile appa-
rently consisted of the wainscoting, eutLhe shutter of a
cupboard broken op. The prisoner was m at • the stree--
door by these persons, as they were entering the house;
and on his being asked if any shine was amiss, ha an-
swered, " nothing particular," and went away, but tenoned
in about half. an hour afterwards, end was taken tato ens-
, tody by Stone the constable. The fire was by this time
etringuishsri by the elections of the firemen and ngines,
but not before the premises were much damaged.. Tin
prisoner's daughter, it seems, was met by a pees in soon
after the lire was put out, and on being infornied of th • or.
currence, she answered, " I thought that eo II be t
case, for my father raid he would set it on fire." Be az
asked if he had any thing to say in answer to the present
charge, he did not attempt to establish his innocence; hut
railed agairat the severity of his landlord.—All the wit-
nesses necessary for the prosecution not being in uteri&
ance, the prisoner was remanded.

cJate of her, but all in vain till about a week ago. when
she was traced -to the house of Mrs. H. Hose. After close
watching. the mother succeeded in gaining access to her
daughter, and found her with several other girls, devoted
for the benefit of Mrs. Hose, to the lame i famous life un-
der her protection. The daughter was affect d, but the
rest of the party abused th • twither and turned her out of

taken the girl in out of charity, because she was destitituts
and had oo other shelter. he unfortunate girl, however,
said she hail been seduced to go there by a wom,n who

box of t lothes with her which her charitable lea 'lady had
