OLD BAILEY.  . Yesterday Susannah Eaton was indicted for stealing, in the house of Dorothy Graham, in the neighbourhood of Bedford-square, a number of spoons, and other articles of plate. Wm. Isaacs, Mrs. Graham 's butler, stated, that, on the morning of the 2341 of February, at about half past one o'clock, the family being in bed, witness let himself out by tl,e area, and picked up the prisoner at the corner of Plumtree-street, St. Giles's, and pressed her to accompany him to the house of his mistress, which she acceded to. Witness took her into his pantry, and in the morning, when he awoke, she had fled, with the articles stated in the indictment. She could only have got out of the house by the street door, which was found open in the morning.—Witness had been imprisoned on suspicion of being COl3. cerncd in the robbery. ' S. Lavender, an ufEcer, called'at a public house in White Horse-yard, Drury-lane, in two days after this robbery had been committed, and found the PsiBoner there, in company with three other women.— He charged them with having stolen articles about them ; and on taxing the prisoner closely, he disco. vered a change of countenance4and, on searching lief, he found the plate wrapped up in a dirty towel, and took her into custody. In defence, the prisoner said; Isaacs had promised r her a douceur of ,ss. kut when he got to the kouse, he 1 ' had only a bad shilling, and he gave her some brandy, and in the morning he gave her the plate wrapped up in a towel, she being ignorant of what the towel contained. Isaacs was interrogated as to these assertions, when he denied the statement, but said, he had given her some shrub and brandy. The Jury I found the prisoner Guilty of stealing in a dwelling, house to the amount of 40s.—Death. •  G. Little was capitally convicted of stopping ---MdCartey on the highway, putting him in fear, and taking from him a watch seal, on the night of th! 7th ult. The prosecutor was returning from Tethil-street to his residence in King-street, when the prisoner overtook him, and they got into conversation, when on a sudden, the former struck him violently, and snatched at his watch, but the ribband broke, and he got possession of the seal only. The prosecutor seized him by the collar, and called out murder, when a person came up to his assistance, and the prisoner was secured.  The person aho so assisted. proved that the prisoner struck the prusecutor in his presence, and also that he .had p:)ses4on of the seal.
