JAMES BARTHELMELI

Charing Cross, London


On Saturday last twenty five prisoners were tried at the Old Bailey; four whereof were capitally convicted, viz. Isaac Dennis, for robbing Judith Smith on the Highway, of thirteen pence half penny; Patrick Gaffney, for robbing Mr. Shirley at the Hoop Tavern in the Strand, of two Silver Tankards, value 28l.; and Edward Togwell and Peter Matthews, for ravishing Margaret M'Cullough, and using her in a very barbarous manner. Eleven were cast for transportation, one of which was James Barthelmeli, the Silversmith at Charing Cross, who bought Mr. Shirley's Tankards (knowing them to be stolen) and ten were acquitted.
