GEORGE HAMERTON was indicted for stealing, on the 14th of September, at St. George, Hanover-square , thirty-six silver forks, value 23 1., and twelve silver spoons, value 9 I., the goods of Thomas Tringham Smith, in his dwelling-house. SARAH JEFFRIES . I am housemaid to Mr. Thomas Tringham Smith, who lives in Charles-street, Berkeley-square, in the parish of St. George, Hanover-square. On the 14th of September, about four o'clock in the afternoon, a little girl alarmed me - I went out, and saw the prisoner going out of my master's area gate; he had an umbrella: the area door was open. I gave an alarm, and he was taken in five minutes - I did not lose sight of him for above a minute, and am sure he is the man. WILLIAM RICKETTS. I keep a public-house in Charles-street. I was standing opposite the area-gate when this young woman ran up - I followed the prisoner into Hill-street; he was pursued, and secured, and at the watch-house the officer found thirty-six silver forks and twelve spoons in his pocket. ROBERT TURNER. I am an officer. I took charge of the prisoner, searched him at the watch-house, and found twelve dessert spoons, twenty-four large forks, and twelve small ones. SARAH JEFFRIES. My master's crest is upon them - they were taken from the butler's pantry. CHARLES BROWN . I am butler to Mr. Smith. I left the plate safe in the pantry about one o'clock; it was all safe then: they are worth a good deal. Prisoner. I throw myself on the mercy of the Court. GUILTY - DEATH.
