John Hall was indicted for burglariously breaking into the house of Richard Shingleton, of Moulsford, on Friday evening, the 16th inst. and stealing two gallon loaves and a piece of cheese his property.

The Prosecutor proved being up last in his house on the 16th, when he left the pantry window fastened; he was called up about one o'clock by Richard Allum, and found his pantry window had been broken open.

Hester Shingleton, the wife of prosecutor, was also up last, on the night of the 16th, when the pantry window was safe; there were four gallon loaves and a piece of cheese in the pantry; in the morning, after the window had been broken open, she missed two of the loaves and the piece of cheese.

Richard Allum is a labouring man living at Moulsford. He called up the prosecutor at one o'clock on the morning of the 16th, in consequence of observing that the house had been broken open. The next morning he saw the prisoner about half a mile from Shingleton's house, under a hay rick; witness disturbed him, and he got up; witness observed a piece of cheese under his smock, and in consequence took him into custody.—The prosecutor's wife identified the cheese, and, indeed, produced a smaller piece that had not been taken away by the prisoner, which fitted exactly at the line of division to the stolen piece.

The prisoner made no defence, and the jury found him guilty.—Death recorded.
