OLD BAILLI. Sourcing, April 15. John Carr was indicted fur feloniously shooting at a police officer of the name of Edward Rice, with intent to kill and murder. The statement of the prosecutor went to prove that at seven o'clock in the evening of the 19th of lebruary,V ickery, an officer belonging to Worship-street, together with another man, accompanied him on the look out for robbers, in Stepney- Fields, and they saw the prisoner and an other man whom they suspected as being fit for their recognizance. - Vickery took one man into custody, and the prisoner ran oil'. Rice followed him, and having gained ground on him, the prisoner discharged the contents of a pistol at him, and he was afterwards taken. Sir Souicier Lawrence here interfered, and directed the Jury to acquit the prisoner, as the indictment could not stand. The Officer was attempting to apprehend the prisoner without any authority, and if he had been shot it would only have amounted to manslaughter. The conduct of the officers was illegal, and they were not warranted in seizing a man whom they choose to suspect. The Prisoner was consequently acquitted. Zekiel Lochleader, alias Thurston, and Robert Lochleader (brothers) were indicted for stealing a mare, valued at fourteen guineas, the property of John Ashley. The mare was stolen from a stable on the prosecutor's pre mises at Cudham, in Kent, on the sth of March, and the two prisoners were found in possession of the horse and a cart, which had also been stolen in Maiden-lane, Battle-bridge, on the sub sequent day. The facts were clear. Guilty,—D t: A Tit, Three other brothers of the prisoners were capitally convicte4 of horse-stealing, at the late Assizes for Cambridgeshire. At the Middlesex Sessions, yesterday, Dove, the map who was arraigned at the Old Bailey for extreme cruelty towards hi stepfather, by putting a rope round his neck, ith intent to strangle him, and wounding him with a poker, was convicted of the assault, and sentenced to three years imprisonment. After the hardened offender was taken out of court on his way to to prison, he observed thus " They have tried to put the rope about my neck, but 1 . 11 put it about some of theirs yet." Mr. Harman an Old Bailey solicitor heard this, which ho com municated to the Court, and the prisoner was consequently brought back and further sentenced, to find sureties for three years for his good behaviour after the expiration of his jut prisontuent, himself in 200/. and two surities of 10'Jt. each. The following melancholy circumstance lately happened at Toseland, in llnntingdonshire :—Nlr. l)i,xie,Jun.faitner or that place, had procured a quantity of arsenic for dre4sing hie sheep, which he imprudently left in a paper iu a maphoard where -the flour was usually kept. On Saturday se'tmight the maid servant was directed to make a pork pudding. Mr. pixie and his shop. herd coming home at the hour of dinner, ate heartily of the Ind. ding, and immediately afterwards the maicl also hegan to eftl of it, bat, ou finding an unpleasant taste, she declined eating much, which her master observing, enquired what was the matter,. and hoped she bad not put any of the powdar, lett in the paper, Into the pudding. The girl acknowledged that she had, with real sorrow and distress of mind, conceiving the cuotents of the paper to be and mixed it up for the.pniding„ iu quantity near • tea-cup fall. The child, nephew to Mr. U. on finding the taste. disagreeable, would not eat any. Nlr. Sanders, surgeon aid apua thecary, of St. Neat's, happening to be in the village at the flame time, was instantly called in, and used every means to promote sickness, and to counteract the effects of the arsenic on Mr. 9. and his shepherd, but in vain ; they languished for about eight :.:curs, and died within a few minutes of each other. The ma l 4 servant lies in a very dangerous state, though nut without Welk hopes of her recovery. • D I El) On Sunday, in his 34th year, at Wellingbnitingh, North3mp. tfinshire, John Arden, Esq. late.
