John Hewlet , of S. Andrew's Holborn , was indicted for the Murder of Joseph Candy , by giving him with a Staff a mortal Bruise on the Left Side of his Head, on the 26th of December last, of which he instantly died . He was a 2d time indicted on the Coroners's Inquisition for the said Murder. Edward Newman (Son-in-Law to the Deceased) and Richard Wright deposed, that on Saturday about Midnight, going to see for the Deceased, who was a Watchman in Fetter-Lane, they met the Prisoner (another Watchman) with two Staves and two Lanterns, but no lighted Candle. Did you see my Father? (says Newman.) Yes, (said the Prisoner) he lies dead at Dr. Lad's Door in Castle-Yard . Dead! Yes, dead, I saw him fall. And why did not you raise him up again, and call somebody to his Assistance? D - ye, reply'd the Prisoner, do you think that I kill'd him? One of the Staves and one of the Lanterns which the Prisoner then had in his Hands, appear'd to be the same that the Deceased had at the time of his Death. Ann Hall (Servant to Mr. Steel) deposed, that about Midnight she sent their Boy for a Peck of small-coal, and held the Door a-jar till he came back; and in the mean while she heard a hoarse Voice say, If you had been a Gentleman, I would have used you like a Gentleman; but as you are a Watchman, I'll use you, like a Watchman, if you don't go about your Business. The Boy then came in, and told her that a Watchman was knock'd down. Joseph Wait (a Boy aged 13) deposed, that going for the Small-coal about half an Hour past 11, he saw a Man with a Lantern coming by the Prisoner's Watch-house in Castle-Yard. The Prisoner demanded, Who's there? And the other answered, A Friend. Whither are you going? About my Business. D - yes, says the Prisoner, if you are sawcy, I'll send you to Bridewell. Some other Words pass'd, and the Prisoner came out, knockt him down at Dr. Lad's Door, and then went into his Watch-houseEliz Reeves (in Magpye-Yard near Castle-Yard) deposed, that after 12 o'Clock, she heard a Cry of Stop Thief, and looking from her Window, saw two Men run by with Staves and Lanterns, and one of them said in a hoarse Voice, Now I have ye, and I'll smash ye By G - . They pass'd the End of the Yard, and one of them returning, was met by two or three more, who said to him, Did be knock down you, or you him? The hoarse Voice answer'd, I knock'd him down. It appeared that the Prisoner was very hoarse at that time. John Glover deposed, that hearing of the Death of the Deceased, he went to see him, and going through Magpye-Yard, he met the Prisoner with two Staves and two Lanterns, and said to him, Lord bless me! how came this Accident? Why, said the Prisoner, he came by my Stand, and I called to him; but be made as Answer, and so I stept out and took him a Knock. These Words raised 2 Suspicion; upon which the Prisoner was apprehended, and committed to Bridewell. Francis Hemmit deposed, that a little before 12 the Prisoner came drunk to his Stand, (at Mr. Bird's Door in Castle-Court) and without any Provocation began to be very quarrelsome, swearing, calling him ill Names, and striking him two or three times. Hemmit desired him to get out of his Beat, or he'd make him forfeit Sixpence. (Such a Forfeit being, customary among the Watchmen, if one comes into the other's Beat.) Mr. Bird then came to the Door, and threaten'd the Prisoner that he would charge a Constable with him, and send him to Bridewell; upon which the Prisoner was very free of his ill Language to Mr. Bird, and concluding with G - damn it I'll make a Sacrifice of somebody to Night; he went away. Great Part of this was confirm'd by Mr. Bird himself. John Clark deposed, that coming to see the Deceased, who lay on the Steps of Dr. Lad's Door, he happen'd to spy something White within Dr. Lad's Palisades, and dragging it out, found it to be a Piece of the Deceased's Neckcloth; for by comparing it with the other Piece that was then about the Deceased's Neck, it appear'd to have been torne from it, and afterwards thrown over the Palisades. Both the Pieces were produced in Court, and matched exactly. Robert Lugg deposed, that coming into Castle-Yard, he saw the Deceased lying dead on the Stone Steps, his Lantern with a lighted Candle in it, and his Staff standing by him, and the Prisoner walking to and fro before him. He asked the Prisoner if he knew who it was that lay there, or how he came by his Death; to both which Questions the Prisoner answer'd in the Negative. He (this Deponent) then went away, and coming that Way again soon after, he found the Deceased lying in the same Place; but neither his Lantern, Staff, nor the Prisoner, were then to be seen there. Other Witnesses confirmed that Particular of the Prisoner's owning that he saw the Deceased fall, and that he (the Prisoner) was a very abusive quarrelsome Fellow. Mr. Keatly the Surgeon depos'd, that on the Wednesday after the Death of the Deceased, (which was on Saturday Night) he view'd the Body, and making an Incision cross wise on the Left Side of the Head, he found a Contusion about the Breadth of a Shilling. He then took off the Pericranium, but found no Fracture in the Skull. There was also a deep Bruise in the Left Shoulder but he thought it very unlikely for a Contusion in that Place to prove mortal. As for the Bruise in the Head, he thought it might probably be the Cause of his Death; but he could not be positive. It appear'd, he said, to be done by a Blow with a Staff: But it being demanded if it was not possible that such a Bruise might be received by a Fall, he answered, Yes.
The Prisoner in his Defence said, that the Deceased had been subject to the Apoplexy; that he had often seen him fall into such a Fitt, and that it was in such a Fitt that he dropt down at Dr. Lad's Door. That soon after, a Gentleman coming up the Yard, he went to light him in at Doors; at which time 2 or 3 Fellows coming out of Holborn, took up the Deceased's Lantern and Staff which stood by him, and ran away with'em, which he (the Prisoner) seeing, ran after'em thro' Magpye-Yard, and cry'd, Stop Thief. They finding that he pursu'd 'em, threw away the Staff and Lantern, and got off. He took 'em up and brought 'em back, which was the Cause of his being seen by several with 2 Staves and 2 Lanterns. Mr. - depos'd, that coming up Castle-Yard, he saw the Prisoner walking about very drunk, and the Deceased lying on Dr. Lad's Steps, whom he at first thought to be drunk too; but the Prisoner assured him that he was really dead. The Prisoner then lighted him to his Door, and 2 or 3 Men coming by the Deceased, took away the Lantern and Staff. The Prisoner pursu'd 'em, and as drunk as he was, brought the Lantern and Staff back again; at which time some other Watchmen (whose Depositions have already been mentioned) met him with the 2 Staves and 2 Lanterns. He added, that he believed that these Words, I'll smash you by G - were spoken by the Prisoner to one of the Men that took the Deceased's Staff and Lantern. Mr. Steel depos'd, that his Boy Jos. Wait had told his Wife, that he knew nothing of the Matter, but gave his Evidence before the Coroner by the Maid Anne Hall's Persuasions: That he knew the Boy to be much addicted to Lying; for which, and some other Misdemeanors, he had since turn'd him away. Anne Hall was then called up again, and said, that as she had no Reason to do it, so she never did, in the least, persuade the Boy to say any thing about it; but that the Boy said she persuaded him, merely to escape a severe Whipping, which his Mistress and young Master threatned him with. The Boy was then called up a second time; He said his Mistress was going to strip him stark naked; and that Robert steel (his young Master) took the Horse-Whip, and Struck him once with it, threatning not only to whip him then in a terrible Manner, but afterwards to send him to Bridewell, except he would confess that the Maid had persuaded him to swear, as he did before the Coroner; and that the Fear of such Treatment made him say any thing that they desired of him. Rob Steel acknowledged, that knowing the Boy to be addicted to Lying, he did strike him once with a Whip, and threatned him farther, if he did not confess the Truth, which was all that he desired of him. Stephen and Samuel Candy , (Sons to the Deceased) and several others, in Contradiction to the Prisoner's Assertion, depos'd, that the Deceased was never known to have a Fitt of the Apoplexy, not was it likely that he tell down being drunk, for that they saw him but about an Hour before his Death, and he was then as sober as a Judge, besides, it could never be thought that an Apoplectick Fitt would fear the Deceased's Neckcloth, and throw Part of it over the Palisades. Charles Walter depos'd, that the Prisoner had been his Servant some time ago, and then behaved himself like an honest, harmless, inoffensive Fellow. One or two more spoke in his Behalf to the same Effect. The Jury, after a long Consideration, found him guilty . Death .
Anthony Dumont , of S. Martin's in the Fields , was indicted for stealing a Silver-Hilted Sword, value 25 s. and a Hat value 14 s. the Goods of Henry Baxter , on the 19th of Aug. last. The Prisoner being a Frenchman, and understanding no English, an Interpreter was sworn upon the Tryal. Mr. Baxter depos'd, that he living at the French Resident's in Suffolk-street , the Prisoner (whom he had some Knowledge of) came thither to get a Pass for France. He (the Prosecutor) going up Stairs, the Prisoner, before he came down again, was gone away with the Sword and Hat that hung on a Peg below, and had left his own Hat in the room of 'em. By making Enquiry, and describing him, he was afterwards taken by a Soldier in Southwark, with the Sword-Hilt in his Pocket. He confessed the Fact , and the Court granted him a Pass to his Majesty's Plantations .

Giles's, in the Fields was indicted for stealing in the House of Robert Kelway 57 Guineas and a half, 29 Carolus's, 5 Jacobug's, 3 Moidores, 6 Pieces of Silver value 12 s. a Silver Buckle set with Stones, and 2 Purses value 12 d. the Goods of Robt. Kelway , on the 9th of Dec. last.
Robt. Kelway depos'd, that going out of Town on the 9th of Dec. he left the Money and Goods in the Indictment lock'd up safe in the Drawers of his Scrutore, and remaining the next day, he was told that his Servant (the Prisoner) had robb'd him, and was committed to the Round-House. Edward Higginson depos'd, that about 11 at Night the Prisoner came to him, and desired to lie with him, which he granted, and the next day the Prisoner shew'd him a Watch, 2 Snuff Boxes, (which he had bought the day before) several Pocket-Pieces, and other Things, which raised a Suspicion in the other that they were not honestly gotten. He therefore caused him to be apprehended. The Constable and Watchman depos'd, that upon searching the Prisoner, they found 50 Guineas and a half, 30 Broad Pieces, 3 Moidores, 2 Snuff-Boxes, and a Common-Prayer Book. He confes'd before Justice Ellis, that he broke open his Master's Scrutore, and took from thence the Goods mention'd in the Indictment.

William Barns depos'd, that going out about Noon to receive some Money, he left the Goods and Money in the Indictment last locked in the Chest of Drawers which stood in his Bed-Chamber, and delivered the Key to Jane his Wife. He returned about 6 in the Evening, and soon understood that she was eloped with the Prisoner. The Chest of Drawers were fast lock'd, and the Key left in the Window; but when he came to open 'em, all was gone. When his Wife Jane came home again, she confessed that she had taken the Money away. The Prisoner desired that the Prosecutor or his Wife might be asked, if they did not know that Plate was his, (the Prisoner's,) and that he lent it to Jane the Prosecutor's Wife before her last Marriage. Mr. Barns did not care that his Wife Jane should be examined in Court. The Jury acquitted the Prisoner.
Alexander Cameron , of the Savoy , was indicted for the Murder of Tho. Crew , by giving him one mortal Wound between the 2 Forefingers, of the Length of 1 Inch, and Depth of 2 Inches, of which he languished till the 3d of January , and then died . He was a 2d time indicted on the Statute of Stabbing: And a 3d time indicted on the Coroner's Inquisition for the said Murder. It appeared by the Evidence of the Brother and Widow of the Deceased, and several others, that the Deceased kept a Victualling-Cellar , and that the Prisoner came down in the Night and enquired for - Foreside, a Soldier. The Deceased's Wife said to him, You have no Occasion to ask that Question, for you know as well as I that he's in the Savoy. The Prisoner then Shaking his Fist, reply'd, D - your Blood, you Bitch, I'll be revenged of you for what you said to him. Some of the Company desired him to be either quiet, or go away; but he continued very troublesome. A Recruit, who was then drinking in the Cellar, stept to him, and thrust him up Stairs. In the Struggle the Prisoner drew his Sword, push'd at the Recruit, and scratched him in the Neck. The Recruit retired, and the Deceased seeing him bleed, went to the Stair foot and called the Prisoner Rogue and Villain, for drawing upon a naked Man. You Black-guard Dog, says the Prisoner, come hither, and I'll serve you the same Sauce. Upon this, the Deceased stept up 2 or 3 Stairs towards the Prisoner, (there being but 7 Stairs in all) and the Prisoner standing at the Top, thrust his Sword down, and stuck it into the Hand of the Deceased, between the 2 Forefingers. The Prisoner then went away, but returned several times that Night to the Stair Head, calling'em ill Names, flourishing his Sword, and swearing that he would stab every one of them. The Deceased received this Wound about 7 of the Clock on Monday Night. They washed it with Geneva; his Hand swell'd, and was very painful. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, he went to a Surgeon, who dressed it, and gave him something to bathe it. The Surgeon depos'd, that he saw the Deceased no more till the Sunday following, at which time he died of a Fever; but could not say that the Wound was the Cause of the Fever and consequently of his Death. Another Surgeon open'd the Wound after his Death, but said, that he did not believe it to be mortal. The Prisoner in his Defence said, that the Recruit struck him first kickt him, and thrust him up Stairs, the Decreased and others followed with Broomsticks to drive him away. Upon which, he was forced to draw in his own Defence, but did not know how the Decreased happened to receive that Wound; and that the Deceased afterwards receiv'd a great Hurt by falling down Stairs with a Barrel of Beer. Several Witnesses depos'd, that they saw the Deceased 2 or 3 days after he received the Wound, going about his Business as usual. That having a Barrel of Beer on his Shoulder, he fell down, and the Barrel rolled over him: Upon which he cry'd out to his Wife, O! my Dear, I am gone! That a little before his Death, his Wife asked him if that Rogue Cameron (the Prisoner) was not the Cause of his Death And he answered, No. The Jury acquitted him of the 1st and 2 d Indictment, and found him guilty of Manslaughter on the 3 d. Burnt in the Hand .

They went together to see Westminster Abbey, and from thence came to the Horseshoe Tavern in Drury-Lane about 6 at Night, and staid till between 9 and 10. By which time he got tolerably drunk; and parting with his 2 Friends at the Door, he presently met with another, but of a different Sex.

They drank Geneva till they could hardly see one another; and then taking out his Purse to pay the Reckoning, he found but 7 Guineas left out of the 16. But where or how the Money was lost, was more than he could tell; for all that he knew of the Matter, was, that it was gone, and that he got nothing for it, but a little Gin, and a little * * *
Anna Maria Belson , in Defence of herself and the other 2 Prisoners, said, that the Prosecutor came to their House with a Woman, both he and she being so drunk, that they fell down together as soon as they came in. They got up again; he called her his Dear Mother; she bade him kneel down, ask her Blessing, and kiss her * * *. He obey'd. But hark ye me, Son, says she, I understand that you lead a very fine Course of Life: You make a common Practice of getting drunk, and spending all that you have upon naughty Women, while your poor honest Wife and Daughters here, (pointing to the Prisoners) have had nothing to eat these 3 days. I have a good mind to whip you severely. Indeed Mamma, it's no such thing. What, do you deny it, Sirrah? Here, fetch me the Rods. Will you do so any more? No, never. Well! get you to Bed, and behave yourself as you ought to do, or i' faith I'll tickle your Toby. His Mother then took him up Stairs, where they two staid together about half an Hour; and when they came down again, he took out his Purse to pay the Reckoning, and said he had lost 9 Guineas.

He went, and stand with them all Night, and till Sunday in the Evening. In which time he got drunk and crazy, but did not remember that they went to Bed together.

Charles Cooper deposed, that on Saturday between 9 and 10 at Night, as he and John Knight (of East-Barnet) were riding down the hollow Way beyond Highgate (between the Pump and the Brick-Kilns) they were attacked by the two Prisoners, who bid them stand, made them dismount, searched them, and turned their Horses loose. They found no Money upon Knight; but Picken took from this Evidence a Knife, Fork, and a Pair of Scissars, all in one Sheath. He said he would keep them for Luck; and then taking some Money from him, he left him to Packer, who rifled him of the rest, the whole amounting to between 5 and 6 l. Charles Hussey , Constable, deposed, that between Twelve and One the time Night, a Watchman called him to go to the Six Cans in Monmouth-Court, Holborn, where two or three Men were quarrelling. He went thither, and Picken, as soon as he saw him, said, I charge you with that Fellow, for he's a Pick-pocket, pointing to one Henry Hudson . Sir, says Hudson, I charge you with those two Rogues, (the Prisoners) for they are a Couple of Highwaymen; I have taken these two Pistols from them. Upon this, he searched the Prisoners, and found the Knife and Fork upon Picken, and several Parcels of Money upon both of them. Then Picken told him that he rented the Tap at the Mermaid at Windsor, and came to Town to pay 50 l. to Sir John Tash ; that Packer was his Friend, and only came to bear him Company, and that they brought the Pistols for their own Security. However, he carried them to the Round-house, and from thence before Mr. Justice Ellis, where they were desir'd to shew the Receipt for the 50 l. paid to Sir John Tash. Pickers said it was in his Pocket-Book, which was in the Coat that he pluck'd off when he shifted himself at the Round-House; and that Packer's Wife had taken that Coat to her Lodgings in Parker's-lane in Drury-Lane, or else to his own Lodgings in Cross-Court, which was not far distant from the other. A Man was sent to search at both Places, and a Pocket-Book was found, but no Receipt in it. This increasing the Suspicion, the Justice order'd them to be examin'd apart. They both agreed, that they hired the Horses of Mr. French at the Pavior's-Arms by Smithfield-Bars to go to Windsor, for 4 s. and that they set out between 3 and 4, and rode to Brentford.

They drank pretty briskly, and all appeared friendly and pleasant. About 11 o'Clock, part of the Company went away, and only Mr. Olivant, Mr. Lewis and himself, were left together. Soon after they were gone, Mr. Lewis desired Mr. Olivant to pay him 53 l. that he ow'd him. Mr. Olivant express'd a Surprize, that his intimate Friend should, without giving him any previous Notice, make such a Demand, at a time, when it could not be thought, that he should have such a Sum about him; and added, that as he was obliged to go out of Town the next day, he could not possibly have Time to provide the Money; but he would either remitt the Sum to him when he came to the Regiment, or give him a Note for Value upon a Relation, payable in London. Neither of these Proposals would satisfy the Deceased for heTho Maccarthey the Drawer depos'd that when Mr. Olivant, Mr. Lewis, and the other Gentlemen came, they all appeared to be very good Friends, and be spoke a Supper. About 12 o'Clock, he heard a Disturbance, ran up, and found the Deceased and Mr. Olivant upon the Ground, the former being undermost. He and the Major's Servant, who followed him, help'd 'em up, and then he ran for a Surgeon. At his Return, he found them in another Room. The Deceased was lying upon a Bed, and Mr. Olivant said to him, Dear Lewis, I am afraid you are a dying Man; My Life is at Stake. I beg you to speak what you know. Was not your Sword drawn first? The Deceased answered, Ay, Ay, I forgive you freely, and then killed Mr. Olivant. This Evidence farther said, that the Room in which the Misfortune happened, was very small, and except the Deceased had risen from his Seat, and gone round the Table to Mr. Olivant, it was hardly possible for them to have fallen together in the Place and Manner that he found them in. John Mills , Servant to the Major, depos'd, that he followed the last Evidence into the Room, saw a drawn swords upon the Floor, and raising the Deceased, they convey'd him into another Room, where Mr. Olivant said to him several times, Did not you draw first? And the Deceased answered as often, I forgive you. Mr Olivant's Left Hand was bloody. The Sword of the Deceased was produced in Court, and appeared to be stained with Blood. John Martin , Surgeon, depos'd, that upon Searching the Wound, he found the Sword entred the Left Side of the Belly, pierced thro' the Diaphragma and part of the Lungs, and came out under the short Ribs, there being a considerable Quantity of Blood extravasated. The Deceased died about 8 o'Clock in the Evening, and that Wound was the Cause of his Death. Before he died, he said to Mr. Olivant, I forgive you. John Bowler depos'd, that being sent for to the Deceased, he stay'd by him from 3 o'Clock till he died; betwixt which Times, a certain Gentleman came in, to whom the Deceased (without being asked the Question) said, 'Twas Mr. Olivant's Fault, because he would not pay me the Money.
Mr. Olivant in his Defence made no material Variation from the Account that Major Nortliffe had already given, but added, that when the Major was asleep, the Deceased started up from his Seat, drew his Sword, came round the Table, and push'd at him two or three times; and the Room being very narrow, and the Door opening inwards, he could not retreat without manifest Danger of his Life, which put him under a Necessity of defending himself, the Consequence of which proved very unhappy; tho' at the same time he was ignorant when or how the Deceased received the Wound. Dr. Furlong deposed, that after the Deceased was wounded, Mr. Olivant laid his Hand upon his Shoulder, and said, Lewis, Lewis, Was not you the Aggressor ? And the Deceased answer'd, I forgive you; 'twas all fair. Mrs. Carter at the Mitre Tavern depos'd, that coming into the Room where the Deceased lay wounded, Mr. Olivant said to the Company, Take Notice of what he says; and then turning to the Deceased, he said, Did not you draw first? The Deceased answer'd, I forgive you. Mr. Olivant return'd, That's not what I ask you, my Life's at Stake: Did you draw first? To which the Deceased reply'd, Ay, Ay, I forgive you. Capt. Edward Hawley and Capt. Newton deposed, that they said to the Deceased as he lay on the Bed, they were sorry to find him in that Condition, and asked him how it happen'd; and the Deceased answer'd, It was my own seeking, I freely forgive him, and desire there may be no manner of Prosecution.
The Rt. Hon. the Lord Viscount Lonsdale inform'd the Court, that he had known Mr. Olivant about four Years, in all which time he maintained a fair Character, not being addicted to quarrel, but distinguishing himself by an agreeable Civllity and good Nature. Sir Wilfrid Lawson deposed, that having known Mr. Olivant three Years, he had constantly found him to be a Person of a happy, peaceable Disposition, and far from being quarrelsome. General Evans gave Mr. Olivant the Character of an open, peaceable, generous Gentleman, one that was not backward in paying his just Debts; and that on the contrary, the Deceased was very turbulent, and subject to quarrel in his Drink, for which Reason he had desired him to dispose of his Commission. Col. Lanoe, in the Behalf of Mr. Olivant, deposed, that he knew him to be a Man of a pleasant, even Temper, and that the Deceased more the opposite Character, he frequently being (especially when in Drink ) very troublesome in the Regiment. Many other Persons of Distinction were ready to appear in Favour of Mr. Olivant; but the Court thought it unnecessary. Manslaughter . Burnt in the Hand .

Goddard took them, but swore that they must have something else, or it would be the worse for him, and so they followed him home. They told him, as he was going in, that if he did not come down again quickly, and bring them some Money, they would carry him to Newgate directly. He promised them to try what he could do. They bade him borrow a Guinea of the Maid, if he could get it no otherwise. He brought them two York-Building Lottery-Tickets, of 30 s. value each, with which they went away. At two other times they brought the Prisoner Rustead with them, and extorted 15 s. from him. On the 17th of Dec. at Night, the two Prisoners waited for his coming out; and in Gutter-Lane Rustead clapt him on the Shoulder, and swore that they had now got a Warrant to carry him to Newgate; and they would certainly execute it, if he did not help them to 4 l. for Goddard was going to live in the Country, and wanted a little Money to fit him out. He told them, he believed that he had got 40 s. about him, and he would give them that, if they would never trouble him again: They swore they never would. He gave them the Money, and as soon as they had got it, they insisted upon his making it up 4 l. But still promising, with repeated Imprecations, that if he comply'd, they would never come after him any more. At last he gave them the other 40 s. and so they parted for that time: But the next Night, hearing the Bell ring, he went down to see who was at the Door; he opened it, and saw nobody at first; but quickly Rustead stept up, and said he must needs speak with him, and would have taken him out. He was unwilling to go, and therefore desired the other to come in, which he did. Rustead then swore that Goddard (whom he called Brother) was gone out of Town, and had left some Rings in Pawn, and he must have 4 l. to redeem them. He found 'twas in vain to put Rustead in mind of what he swore the preceding Night. But having no Money about him, he gave him (tho' with great Reluctance) a Diamond Ring from off his Finger, with which he went away. But the other being vexed with himself for parting with the Ring, went after Rustead, to try if he could get it again, upon the Promise of some Money. He had gone but a little way, when, to his great Surprize, he found Rustead and Goddard talking together. They told him, they must and would have 40 s. more, or it should be the worse for him. This occasioned a little Disturbance; and a Boy coming by, and hearing something of the Matter, Oh! says he, I know one of these Fellows, his Name is Rustead, he uses the Walks in Moorfields; which the Prisoners hearing, ran away, and he (this Evidence) never saw 'em again, till they were apprehended, which was not long after. It appeared that the Prisoners were drinking together at the Farthing Pye-house by Moorfields, from whence they sent a Man to sell the Diamond Ring. This Fellow happening to offer it to the very Goldsmith of whom the Prosecutor bought it, the Goldsmith knew it again, and stopt him, and he discovered where the Prisoners were waiting; by which means they were presently apprehended. Rich Baily the Constable depos'd, that Goddard own'd that he took the Buttons from the Prosecutor; and that upon his Information he found Bollan and Axtell, and apprehended 'em; but they being bailed, have since fled for it. That Rustead own'd, that he knew that the other three had followed that Practice of getting Money several times before, and that he himself had most of the Money from the Prosecutor. The Prisoners than made their Defence. Goddard deny'd that it was he that took the Buttons, but said, that accidentally meeting the Prosecutor, (to whom he was before a Stranger) he (the Prosecutor) told him where he lived, and that he had twice committed Sodomy with Bollan. Rustead said, that meeting with Goddard in Moorfields, Goddard told him what the Prosecutor had said, upon which the Prosecutor took him by the Arm, and said, Pray don't go to my Master's House to disgrace me, for I am a young Gentleman, and it will be my Ruin; and at the same time gave them Money not to discover it. It appeared highly improbable, that any one in his Senses should confess such things to Strangers, and then tell them where he lived. The Jury acquitted Goddard of the Robbery , but found them both guilty of the Misdemeanor .
John Sanders , of S. James's Westminster , was indicted for feloniously receiving a Hartshorn handled Hanger and Belt, value 16 s. the Goods of John Mills , on the 17th of Oct. last, he knowing the same to be stoln . Guilty . Transportation .
William Green , of Stepney , was indicted, for that e, with Cha Towers , John Bowler , John Warren, alias Warthern , and others, did break and enter the House of Geo Westwood , and take from thence a Hatchet val. 2 s. the Goods of Rich Lillington , on the 28th of Aug. last. It appear'd that the Prisoner, with other New Minters, came to the Prosecutor's House, and Bowler took a Hatchet from the Prosecutor's Wife; but the Jury not thinking it to be taken with a felonious Intent, they acquitted him.
William Green was a 2d time indicted for a Riot and Assault upon William Jones . W. Jones deposed, that on the 26th of Nov. last, about 7 in the Evening, he was drinking at the Tewksbury-Church Alehouse in Whitechappel, when the Prisoner and others came in, knock'd him down, and drag'd him thro' Whitechappel to their usual Place of Rendezvous in the New Mint . There they stript him naked, and wore Sixpenny worth of Rods to the Stumps in whipping of him, and he believed he received a thousand Lashes. Then they put on his Cloaths again, and threw him into a Pit fill'd with Human Excrement, and other Filth, in which they dipt the Rods when they whipt him. There they duck'd him several times, and as they took him out, the Prisoner held him up by the Hair, and thrust a Turd into his Mouth; and then they attended him part of the Way home, with lighted Links. The Prisoner, when carry'd before Sir Isaac Tillard , desired to be made an Evidence against Mr. Saintloe. Another Witness deposed, that he saw the Prosecutor when he came back, attended with near two hundred of the Mob; but he was so cover'd over with Excrement, that he could see no Part of him but his Teeth. Guilty .
Richard Edwards , was indicted for a Riot and Assault on Joseph Robinson . Joseph Robinson (who was the first Bailiff that underwent the Discipline of the New Mint) deposed, that on the 3d of Nov. last, between Seven and Eight at Night, William Green (followed by several others) came into his House, and said, G - D - my Body, you are my Prisoner. They carry'd him to the Sun at Green-Bank in the New Mint ; they laid him a cross a Joint-Stool, and whipt him, giving him (he believes) 3 or 400 Lathes, and then put him into the Pit, which was about six Foot long, and three or four Foot broad, and over it hung the Sign of the Hand and Tipstaff. When they thought that he had been sufficiently soak'd in the Pit, they were going to take him out; but the Prisoner came to him, and cry'd, G - D - your Blood, you shall duck two or three times for my Pleasure; and so made him plunge in again, and roll about (he said) like a Sow in hot Weather. Guilty .
Henry Ireson and Thomas Earle , were indicted for appearing arm'd in a riotous and tumultuous manner, in the King's Highway, to the great Disturbance of his Majesty's Subjects . Michael Baslow deposed, that Earle, follow'd by several others, came to his Door with a Club, shod with Iron, and said, G - D - ye, I'll kill you one Day or another; but he (this Evidence) ran up Stairs, and got away over the Houses. Robt Sippet deposed, that being taken by the New Minters, they carry'd him along in Triumph, with Colours flying, and Violins playing before them. Earle was with them, and cry'd, D - ye, go along you Rogue ! You have arrested me many a time, and now I'll kill you. But John Tibbs , (who was convicted yesterday) said to him, Go Home about your Business, Mr. Sippet, nobody shall hurt you; - They have made Game enough of you already. And so he escaped the Discipline. There was no Evidence that affected Ireson, and therefore the Jury acquitted him, and found Earle guilty .
The Tryals being over, the Court proceeded to give Judgement as follows, viz.
Received Sentence of Death, Nine.
John Herlet , William Lipsat , Thomas Bradley , Joseph Picken , Thomas Packer , John Map , Richard Blackbourn , Alexander Warren , and Edward Johnson , alias Pollet.

1 Xin the Weaponmaster kills (Heroic Mogu'shan Palace)
This is from your newsfeed which is 2 weeks ago from this post. If you had been gearing for 5 weeks, I think you'd have more than just 1 kill on a heroic dungeon boss. Even then it looks like you didn't start tryin to gear till right at the end of the week. A troll is a troll is a troll
I ran at that time all the raids there where (pre 5.2) for 3 weeks, i got nothing, and i every week used my 3 bonus rolls. random loot is random. But there will come some weeks where you get 3 items from 3 bosses
The fact that this is so unusual for you that you had to make a post for it is a testament to how lucky you've been in all the previous weeks of LFR.
LFR is to see the content for casuals. It is not there to gear up, since loot is used to kill progression bosses then LFR loot serves no purpose
When I played back in BC we killed Prince not too long after release and I got the caster dagger first kill. Then I had to wait till we were 11 kills in on Illidan before another caster non healer weapon drop.
It sucks to get a streak of bad luck but that's part of raiding as well and they can't remove it from the LFR aspect. I remember our tank never got the trinket off Chimaeron in BWD for the entirety of the raid tier. That's a span of months. Back when I was actually raiding 10 and 25 I'd be lucky to see a piece every 2 weeks.

The generalist looks outward; he looks for living principles, knowing full well that such principles change, that they develop. It is to the characteristics of change itself that the mentat-generalist must look. There can be no permanent catalogue of such change, no handbook or manual. You must look at it with as few preconceptions as possible, asking yourself, "Now what is this thing doing?" -Children of Dune
I want you to buy a pair of dice. Roll them. If you roll below a 5 you get loot, if you roll above you don't. Do this over and over until you realize what RNG is.
I play many games. WoW, Rift, D3, PoE, SC2 I will not criticize your game choice if you don't mine.
people complaining about loot is just silly. Blizzard needs to stop catering to these cry babies about not getting loot in lfr wa wa wa....

I'm not a native English speaker, and yet, I don't suck at English. The argument "English is not my mother tongue" doesn't actually give you an excuse to do so.
ToT lfr hard to get the ilvl? what lol?
People should start using their brain how to get the ilvl for RF-s. Pvp cap, honor gear, DMC trinkets, AH for cheap purples and for pure ilvl boost. If you have no money and 0 will to get any of the gear then quit the game cause you actually have to do something to get pieces what just won't drop into your hands. RNG is RNG, we al have a "bad" days, weeks, months. Funny how mad people get when they see someone else win something and they suck at luck. Deal with it.
We have faced trials and danger, threats to our world and our way of life. And yet, we persevere. We are the Horde. We will not let anything break our spirits!"
apparently blizzard agrees hence the "increased chance if you don't get anything in a while" coming in 5.3
the difference between not getting anything in normla heroic raids and lfr is that in normal/heroic loot still goes to people you raid with thus making sure your raid overall is improving and even then no loot at all for long periods is frustrating, it just takes longer
in lfr loot is getting to some random stranger you never will see again, thus the "it's cool me not getting anything but him getting will help us kill the next boss/this boss faster" is gone

COLORADO SPRINGS —Aaron Winter stood near the parking lot of the Flying W Ranch on Tuesday, surveying the remains of the popular Colorado Springs attraction that was lost in the Waldo Canyon fire.
Fresh snow partially shrouded piles of blackened trees that were removed from about 1,700 acres at the ranch. Only 100 acres on the property escaped the blaze, which scorched more than 18,000 acres in the foothills west of the city last June.
"The reality is it's not the same Flying W and it never will be," Winter said.
The ranch employee of 16 years, who is now executive director of the Flying W Foundation and head of the ranch's sales and marketing department, described temporary plans for the plot of land off Chuckwagon Road that once boasted several buildings, a miniature train and Old West-style food and music.
Winter said the ranch plans to build a pole barn and continue its chuckwagon meals and Flying W Ranch Wranglers shows by mid-June. He said contractors are submitting bids to do the work on the temporary facility that will seat up to 800 people and begin the ranch's revival.
"We hope to be open by the anniversary of the fire," Winter said, referring to June 26 — one year after the Waldo Canyon blaze roared into the city and destroyed 347 structures.
The Flying W Wranglers and the Colorado Springs Philharmonic Orchestra will hold a concert June 26 at Mountain Shadows Park on Flying W Ranch Road.
Winter said the event will be free to the public except for the food, which will be sold to raise money for fire and flood mitigation at the ranch as well as safety equipment for volunteers.

Last week's debut of the Garden Variety DLC for PopCap's Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare brought mixed reactions. Players appreciated that the addition is available free of charge, but they were less than pleased with the bugs that have been causing the third-person shooter to crash on consoles.
Since initial bug reports began streaming in, PopCap's tech staff has been working to alleviate the problems. Last Friday, the developer released a patch that should have cleared up any issues with the Xbox One version of the DLC, though the Xbox 360 game remains partially hobbled.
PopCap creative director Justin Wiebe has been fielding reports on Twitter. Though Wiebe has yet to offer a specific timeline for when the Xbox 360 bugs will be squashed, his most recent tweet on the topic offers players hope. "We have a potential fix submitted for testing," Wiebe wrote. "If the tests go well X360 should be back to norm soon. Fingers crossed!"
We've contacted PopCap and publisher EA for further information on the status of the DLC. We'll report back as soon as we hear anything.
Update: EA has offered a reply to our inquiry which you can find below the break.
"With the launch of Garden Variety content last week, some players reported experiencing stability and connectivity issues with PvZ Garden Warfare. As of late last week the team had deployed fixes to address many of these issues on both Xbox One and Xbox 360. However, Wallnut Hills and Driftwood Shores Gardens & Graveyards maps remain disabled on Xbox 360 while the team works on resolving a stability issue specific to those maps. We are expecting to be able to bring these maps back online in the very near future."

'The Bachelorette' is giving ex-baseball players a second chance at fame
If you don't watch "The Bachelorette" — and why would you when there's baseball on your TV? — then this might come as a surprise: The last two guys to "win" the popular find-a-soulmate competition show were former Minor League Baseball players.
Life after baseball doesn't just include coaching, broadcasting and telling stories about the good ol' days. Apparently going on a reality show and trying to get hitched is a viable option too.
Josh Murray was chosen on Monday night's finale by Bachelorette Andi Dorfman, ending their made-for-TV courtship with a marriage proposal. Josh Murray is the brother of Aaron Murray, the University of George quarterback and Kansas City Chiefs rookie, and a former six-year minor leaguer who was drafted in the second round by the Milwaukee Brewers in 2002.
Josh Murray never made it past Single-A and hit just .213 in his MILB career, but Murray made it further in baseball than many do. He eventually went back to play college football with his brother at Georgia.
Baseball even factored into Murray's courting of Dorfman. From Baseball America:
On his final date with Dorfman in the Dominican Republic, following a ride on a yacht, Murray showed Dorfman a baseball card he made for her, with her picture as a member of "The Murrays," with her very own stats on the back: Drafted first round, first overall; Errors: can't dance and swears too much.
"I've had some big days in my life," Murray said on decision day. "Getting drafted in baseball, going back and playing football with my brother. But this day is the biggest day of my life."
The Dominican Republic, huh? Maybe they were scouting for international talent while they were there. You're right, probably not. That's what honeymoons are for!
Last year about this time, Chris Siegfried won "The Bachelorette." In his previous life, he was pitching in the Chicago Cubs organization. Siegfried was drafted in the 11th round of the 2007 draft and put together a 4.70 ERA in four seasons of minor-league ball.
Before Siegfried, Roberto Martinez won "The Bachelorette" in 2010. He played baseball at the University of Tampa and was drafted twice by MLB teams, but never played minor-league ball because of shoulder issues. His status as an ex-baseball player was part of the narrative of the dating contest, though.
As many women out there will attest, there's something about baseball players they find irresistible. That's true, apparently, whether they're swooning over their favorite players in the stands at an MLB game or looking for love on reality TV.

Pete Carroll apparently just could not resist.
Asked Tuesday to assess the job Jim Harbaugh is doing as Stanford's first-year coach, Carroll praised the former NFL quarterback's competitive attitude and said, among other things, "Jimmy never did make himself into a statesman. . . . He's not real politically correct all the time, and I don't think he cares."
After Carroll completed a lengthy answer, he paused five seconds for dramatic effect, then added, "He has not checked in with me about any of my career moves. I expect a call late in the week."
Carroll's final statement was in reference to comments Harbaugh made last spring when he said Carroll would be at USC only one more year.
