1282. JOHN PRITCHARD was indicted for feloniously assaulting Mary Ann Allen , spinster, on the King's highway, at St. Luke, on the 25th of September , putting her in fear, and taking from her person, and against her will, 864 brace ends, value 15 s., and one handkerchief, value 6 d., the goods of Edward Allen . MARY ANN ALLEN . I live in Richmond-street, Bath-street. On the 25th of September, about nine o'clock at night, I was going up Whitecross-street , with six gross of brace ends in a handkerchief; just before I came to Cherry-tree-alley, I observed the prisoner standing and looking at me. I had seen him before. I shunned him - he darted towards me, caught hold of my bundle, flung me up against the wall, burst my gown and stays, bent my bonnet, and took my bundle. I pulled with both hands, but he got it from me at last, and ran up the alley. I was stunned for a moment; as soon as I came to myself I called out Stop thief! he had nearly got half up the alley. He was taken on the 30th. I never got my property again. I had seen him before, and positively swear he is the man. They were my father's, Edward Allen . THOMAS BRADFORD . I am a constable. I apprehended the prisoner from the prosecutrix's description; she said he was the man the moment she saw him. Prisoner's Defence. I am innocent. GUILTY. - DEATH . Aged 19. Recommended to Mercy . First Middlesex Jury, before Mr. Justice Park.
