"SHIPWRECK.—On Sunday morning last, between two and three o'clock, one of the Margate hoys belonging to Mr. SACKETT, heavily laden with corn, which was stowed both in the hold and on deck, and thirty passengers on board, besides the crew, consisting of the master and four seamen, was overtaken by the violent gusts of wind, between Birchington and Reculver: the first unshipped her rudder on the sands, when becoming unmanageable, she kept continually shipping the most heavy seas, and was carried by the violence of the surf towards the beach: at this period she kept rolling and pitching, and the crew, to preserve the lives of the passengers, particularly those of the women and children who were on board, barred down the hatchways; shortly after this, the vessel struck on the beach, and tilted, a tremendous sea breaking over her in all directions, which washed nearly the whole of those upon deck overboard: the crew, three in number, and one man, with extreme difficulty and danger reached the land by swimming; but the Captain (who would not quit the wreck till he had rendered every assistance in his power to the distracted people with him) together with twenty-five persons, consisting of men, women, and children, fell victims to the fury of the waves. In the course of Sunday the bodies of nine of the sufferers were thrown upon the shore, and fourteen bodies have been taken out of the cabin of the hoy: had it been day-light it is possible many more lives might have been saved, but the darkness of the night added to the calamity. Among the sufferers are Mr. John Goodhorn, the master, who is supposed to have received a blow on the temples from the boom: Mr. Thornton, carpenter, of Margate, with his wife and son; Mr. Bone, carpenter, of Margate; the wife of Mr. Jacob, of Broadstairs; the widow Crow, of Margate; Mrs Tatnal of Ramsgate; and a servant girl, with a child under her care, with whom she was returning to town. The few who were saved ascended the shrouds; among these was Mr. Knuckle of the library, at Broadstairs.—Nothing could present a more awful spectacle than the repeated arrival at Margate, on Sunday, of various carriages with the bodies of the sufferers from the wreck."

"DOVER SESSIONS, Wednesday, Oct. 18.
THE KING V. CROAKER.
This was an indictment against John Croaker, for having feloniously embezzled 3,000l. in Exchequer Bills from John Sackett, late banker at Margate, with whom he lived as clerk. John Sackett deposed, that he was a banker at Margate, that the prisoner at the bar lived as clerk with him three and a-half years, and as such was accustomed to receive bills of exchange continually, as well as other property. Witness recollected the two bills in question, the one of 2,000l. and the other of 1,000l. having been in his possession, and coming from Messrs. Reyner and Co. as a payment of a deposit for some advances made: but never authorised any person whatever to part with them. When witness returned to Margate, in consequence of information he had received of the state of his affairs, he found the prisoner had absconded, and shortly after received the letter mentioned from him, dated Dover, 17th January, 1815. Philip Griffith, a partner of a house in London, discounted the two bills of 2,000l. and 1,000l. in question, in pursuance of a letter received from Mr. Croaker, the prisoner, dated 18th June, 1814, in which he took upon himself the responsibility. Mr. Sackett being re-examined, proved the entry of the prisoner in the waste book of the three 1000l. bank notes received from Messrs. Griffiths and Co. on the creditor side of the book, thereby making witness debtor. When asked respecting this money, the prisoner replied that a friend had lent him the money.
The prisoner addressed the Court on his own behalf. He said he was instructed to confine himself to the two Bills of Exchange in question. At the time he said the instalments on the Stock purchased by Mr. Sackett were coming due, he was requested by that Gentleman to make provision for the payment of it and to write to Messrs. Rayner and Co. for Bills of Exchange, not taking money from them, as at that time it was so scarce. A week's notice waas given, and at the expiration of the time, the bills were received. These bills he sent to Messrs. Griffiths and Co. and he conceived it was a liberty he might take, because they had been largely accommodated by Mr. Sackett. It was a private transaction, conducted in his own name, because it was considered disreputable for bankers to require discounts on bills. The money was returned, and what was done with it? Why, credit was given to him for it, and the money was immediately remitted to Messrs. Roberts and Co. The cash was not drawn upon, but remained until the 11th of August, when it was required to pay one of the bills of Messrs. Rayner, which would fall due in a few days, but by some accident altogether, 800l. being transmitted a day or two afterwards. This was a plain statement of the facts and he humbly hoped the Court would exculpate him. As Mr. Sackett's memory was so very frail, he must throw himself entirely on the mercy of the Court. The Jury having retired for about a quarter of an hour, returned a verdict of Guilty.
Before sentence was passed upon the prisoner, he addressed a few words to the Court, respecting certain promises made to him by the officer who apprehended him at Calais, and after having landed in England that he should never be put in the situation he was now in, if all the money and papers were given up. He did do so, but the promises were not fulfilled, and he was now brought into these misfortunes, although he had fulfilled his part of the engagement, in delivering up the 1100l. and in owning the Bills of Exchange to belong to Mr. Sackett, before the Magistrates. The Recorder in passing sentence, observed, that the conduct of the Master in this case was not to be enquired into, and the protection the country afforded, required that any breach of confidence should be punished with severity. However disreputable the promises made, might be, it was the duty of the parties to prosecute; it was a duty they owed to their country, and most likely if they had not prosecuted, they would have been prosecuted in their turn, for not prosecuting. The Legislature directed that for this sort of misdemeaner, 14 years transportation should be the punishment, and he conceived, that the extent of the crime in this case, as well as its intricacy, proved that artfulness was not wanting in the prisoner. Under all the circumstances of the case, however, the Court had thought proper to adjudge, that the sentence should be, 'that you be transported beyond the sea to New South Wales, or as the Privy Council will direct, for the term of seven years.'"

THE KING V. JOHN BOYS AND STEPHEN SACKETT CHANCELLOR.
This was an indictment against the defendants for publishing a most disgusting libel, of and concerning a gentleman named Taylor, by writing in paint, against the walls of his house, certain inscriptions, imputing to him the crime of perjury, and other atrocious offences."
[There followed a lengthy court report in which Stephen Sackett Chancellor was described as "an inhabitant of Margate, a baker by trade, and collector of tolls for Margate Pier." Chancellor was suspected of the libel "in consequence of his [Taylor's] having detected Chancellor in selling light bread to the Sea-Bathing Infirmary at Margate." … "Copies of the libels were produced, but they were so disgusting and abominable in their contents, that they were handed to the jury without being publicly read." During the trial, the defence lawyer, after stating "the improbability that the defendants could be guilty of composing the indecent and abominable libels, … both being men of the highest character and honour," revealed that "the real author of these indecent publications had discovered himself" to the authorities. Chancellor was found not guilty.]

"LAW REPORT
This was an action for assault and false imprisonment. … The circumstances were these:—Mr. Richardson [the plaintiff], a young man of some fortune, … was travelling to London … when his post-chaise was stopped by the defendant, Mr. Sackett. Sackett, who was a sheriff's officer, produced a writ for 500l., and arrested Mr. Richardson. Mr. Richardson, knowing that he did not owe 5l. in the world, desired to see the writ, and the writ being shown, it turned out to be a writ against William Richardson. … Mr. Richardson said, "My name is William John Richardson; I know nothing of this debt; … and you have got the wrong man." Sackett replied that he had got the right man and that, at his peril, he would keep him. Under the circumstances, finding remonstrance useless, the plaintiff suffered himself to be carried to Mr. Sackett's lock-up house. … [Mr. Richardson was detained for three days while the authorities tried, unsuccessfully, to find the parties named on the writ as the issuers. It became clear that] no doubt the writ had been fraudulently sued out. Declarations were admitted on the part of the plaintiff, that he suspected a particular individual (an attorney) to have been the author of the fraud. … [The Court considered arguments concerning an arrest of "the wrong man", but it was clear that Mr. Sackett had not arrested the wrong man. He had arrested the right man and this was evidenced by the plaintiff's own statement that he suspected the perpetrator of the fraud.] … The jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, found a verdict for the defendants."

"OLD BAILEY Saturday, Sep. 15
HIGHWAY ROBBERY
Thomas Sackett was indicted for stealing from the person of Mr. James Sharp a pocket-book, containing bills of exchange and other securities to the value of 1,000l.
Mr. Sharp stated that he was clerk to Messrs. Hankey and Co. the bankers. On the day stated in the indictment, about four oÕclock in the afternoon, he was passing through Copthall-court, going towards Bell-alley, when he was hustled by a number of persons, who tore his coat open and robbed him of his pocketÐbook, containing the above property. He could not identify the prisoner as one of the party.
Mr. Thomas Edwards, a member of the Stock-Exchange, stated, that he saw the prisoner among the persons who were actively engaged in hustling Mr. Sharp, and hearing from him that he had been robbed, he went after the prisoner, who was walking away at a very quick pace. He seized him, and de-tained him until the arrival of an officer. Two other men, who were with the prisoner, succeeded in effecting their escape.
Mr. C. Clarke stated that he saw the prisoner among the persons who hustled the prosecutor: two of them ran away, but the prisoner was secured by the last witness, and afterwards taken to the Mansion-house.
Brady, an officer, said he apprehended the prisoner. On searching him he found some silver in his pocket.
Two witnesses were called to his character, who admitted they knew nothing of him for the last six months.
The RECORDER summed up the evidence, and the jury, after retiring nearly an hour and a half, returned a verdict of Guilty – Death.
The RECORDER then ordered him to be called up for judgment: and, in passing sentence, observed that he was induced to do so at that period, because there might, perhaps, be present some of the prisonerÕs companions in crime, and he trusted that the awful fate which awaited him might operate as a warning to them. Such was at present the state of the metropolis, that there was no security for property either in houses, warehouses, or when carried about the person: and it was absolutely necessary to make a severe example of those who, in mid-day, and in defiance of the law, and of that security which the public had a right to expect, dared to unite with a desperate gang to assault and rob persons engaged in their lawful business. He could not hold out any hopes of mercy to the unfortunate prisoner, and advised him seriously to prepare for the worst. He then passed on him the sentence of death in the usual form, which the prisoner heard with the most perfect indifference."

Mr. Sharp was passing through Copthall-court, in the afternoon of the 4th of August last, when he was hustled by a number of persons, among whom was Sackett, who tore his coat open, and robbed him of his pocket-book, containing the above-mentioned property. Upon the prisoner's being convicted, the recorder told him that no hopes of mercy could be held out to him, as it was absolutely necessary to make a severe example of those who, in mid-day, and in defiance of the law, and of the security which the public had a right to expect, dared to unite with a desperate gang to assault and rob persons engaged in their lawful business." [Reports of other convictions omitted].

"THOMAS SACKETT
Last night a respite was received at Newgate for Thomas Sackett who had been ordered for execution this day. It will be recollected that Sackett was convicted of robbing an old gentleman near the Exchange of a pocket-book, containing bills of exchange to a large amount. The Secretary of State has desired it to be distinctly understood that Sackett's life has been spared upon the ground of its having been ascertained, subsequently to his being ordered for execution, that his character up to a recent period had been unimpeached.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Shortly after two o'clock yesterday, a respite of the execution of this unfortunate man was received by Mr. Wontner, the keeper of Newgate. It will be the recollection of our readers, that the prisoner was tried and convicted in September last, for feloniously assaulting Mr. James Sharpe, a clerk in Messrs. Hankey's banking-house, and taking from his person a pocket-book, containing bills of exchange of the value of 1,200£. Sackett was one of five unfortunate beings ordered for execution this morning, at the last Council. Since that time, the greatest exertions have been made by many respectable persons, to avert the sentence; but they were uniformly told that nothing short of the most satisfactory testimonials to the character of the prisoner during the period immediately previous to his apprehension, could receive any favourable attention. Sackett's friends are most respectably connected, and he has two sisters married to persons of property and good reputation at Colchester. In their great distress, they applied for aid to Mr. Harvey, one of the representatives for that town; and with his accustomed zeal and energy, he immediately undertook to collect and arrange a body of testimony from persons of unimpeachable credit, which was forthwith submitted to the attention of the Marquis of Lansdowne, from whom it received immediate and successful consideration. We understand that Sackett began a life under very favourable circumstances. Having married the daughter of a substantial farmer at Rivenhall in Essex, he hired a large tract of land near Billericay in that county, where he conducted himself with the most exemplary propriety; but farming going ill with him, he left the country in 1823, and came to town, and with the remnant of his property he commenced the trade of a carcass-butcher in the Commercial-road. Shortly after this he lost his wife, and the event proved his downfall; for though it is to be apprehended that even before her decease he had formed some very irregular connexions, he was deterred by her judicious conduct and advice from yielding to their influence. Her death was the dissolution of his domestic comforts and he vainly sought for consolation in the wild and wicked haunts of desperate characters. Still there is reason to believe that Sackett was rather their dupe than their associate; and that the part he took in the daring outrage which had well nigh led to an ignominious death, was not that of an original contriver, but of a dependent auxiliary. We trust that the partial restoration of the property which has already been made, will not serve as a protection to the more hardened culprits, nor be the means of relaxing the efforts of Messrs. Hankey for their detection.
(From the Essex Herald.)
Sackett, one of the unfortunate men condemned to suffer on Thursday next, is well known as an inhabitant of this county, having first married the daughter of Mr. Sutton, a farmer, at Rivenhall. The father of Sackett was a calves' salesman to a very great extent, constantly attending Romford-market, and among other persons from town he became acquainted with Mr. Gibbs, an extensive carcass-butcher in Whitechapel, to whom he apprenticed his son, at a time when Joshua Hudson, the noted pugilist, was also under articles to the same person. After work the one led the other to the scenes of which Hudson has since been the frequenter, and Sackett ranks as no mean pugilist. He occupied a farm at Billericay, and has at time been possessed of considerable capital. A few years since he took by descent, owing to some informality, the extensive premises at Witham, occupied by the late Mr. Matthew Bernard Harvey."

"Police Courts.
Half-Cured Lunatics.
The danger of discharging lunatics from asylums before their cure has been completed was once more exemplified when William Henry Sackett, a man of strange appearance, was charged at the Thames Police-court with stealing certain books and stationery, the property of Dr. Barnado.
The evidence of Alfred Cook, the manager of the Edinburgh Castle Coffee Tavern, and that of the police was to the effect that Sackett flung a heavy paving stone through one of the windows, and then took out a bundle of books, which had become thus exposed.
"A doctor recommended me to read books," said the poor creature, when asked what he had to say. "I saw one that I liked in the window. I only wanted to read it. I did not mean to steal it."
The prisoner, who had only been discharged from Claybury Asylum two days before committing the offence, was certified by the divisional surgeon to be suffering from delusional insanity.
He was removed to the workhouse, muttering that one of his ears had been sawn off."

Ablaze on his Wheel.
Frank Taxton of Glenville, while on his bicycle on Saturday, met with a peculiar accident. Through some unaccountable manner two boxes of parlour matches, which he carried in his coat pocket, became ignited while he was rapidly coasting down the Gobbleman hill. Owing to the impetus of the wheel he could not stop, and there was a good-sized blaze in progress when he reached the bottom. A few rods further on was Sackett's Pond. Taxton swerved the wheel to the right, passed through the gateway, and splashed into the pond—fire, wheel, and all. The water did its work well. Barring a scorched side and arm and a ruined suit of clothes he is none the worse for his adventure.—"White Plains Argus."

"DOUBLE BATHING ACCIDENT.—Yesterday afternoon at Broadstairs, a gentleman named A.J. Newman, of the firm of Newman and Sons, tanners, of Kettering, got into dificulties while bathing some little distance from the shore, and Mr. J.D. Marsh, proprietor of the bathing machines, gallantly swam out to his rescue. He reached him and turned him towards the shore, but became exhausted, and both were eventually landed by a boat in a lifeless condition. Artificial respiration was tried for an hour with no avail. Mr. Marsh was well-known in the neighbourhood. Mr. Newman had the reputation of being a good swimmer, but lately had suffered indifferent health. He was captain of the Kettering Wanderers Cricket Club."
