GUILTY . Court. Has not the prisoner been here several times before? - Yes, several times before. Court. The practice of stealing pots is grown to a great extent, and the publicans sustain very heavy losses; I have therefore long thought it would be right to set some example of severity in the punishment, in order to deter others from going on at that rate, and there cannot be a better time to set that example, than when we have an old offender before us; therefore the sentence of the Court upon you is, that you be Transported for seven years . Tried by the London Jury before Mr. RECORDER.
