GUILDHALL, Monday, March 21. George Todd and Thomas Retford, both of York, were charged with burglariously entering a cellar, part of the dwelling-house of Mrs. Charlotte Richardson, situate in College-street, York, and stealing therefrom four hides of leather, the property Edward Hogarth. John Dale, shoemaker, of this city, was charged accessary after the fact, in receiving the said leather, knowing it to be stolen. The trial occupied the court a considerable part of the day: it appeared from the evidence adduced, that the robbery committed 23d or the 24th of December; and that the two principals in the robbery, applied, Christmas day, to a man of the name of G. Filby, to send them a purchaser for the stolen property, who introduced them to the other prisoner, John Dale, who bought it from them leather, priced price, giving about four pounds for what was worth fifteen. The evidence of this George Filby was not little curious; said he became acquainted with John Dale about Michaelmas last when he the witness he could introduce him to any the Vock , witness said did not understand the phrase, (though this from his subsequent conduct appears be untrue) ; which the prisoner explained it be men who lived by plunder and thieving. Witness said, he was not then acquainted with those kind people, but intimated that did put doubt of being able to commence acquaintance with them their mutual advantage. Prisoner said he should be glad to trade with them, and would buy things, fowls, hams, bacon, cheese, or any other article, and pay for them in ready money, a fair price ; the witness promised to his best for him, and in consequence of this conversation, introduced him to George Todd, and Thomas Retford, and with them (as we have already stated) agreed for the leather, and assisted to fetch it from she workshop of George Todd, which was contiguous to the premises from which it had been stolen. But sooner had this leather been safely deposited in the garret of the shoemaker, than the witness, tempted by the reward which was offered advertisement, lodged information against all which led to their apprehension; a search warrant procured, and the leather was found in the possession of John Dale, and was satisfactorily identified by the prosecutor. After a long trial, of which we have room only for this very brief outline, the jury found George Todd and Thomas Retford guilty of stealing, (but not burglariously); and John Dale guilty of the receiving goods, knowing them to stolen.
