CAMBRIDGE DIVISION
SATURDAY, April 28. - (Before the Revds. W. Smith and Thornhill.)
TRUMPINGTON. - James Brightwell, was charged with stealing a crown-piece, belonging to a person named (James) Harradine, at Trumpington. The prosecutor and prisoner had been playing at four-corners, and the former threw down a crown to pay for a pint ale; the prisoner took the money in the house, and paid for a pint he had previously had, pocketing the change. Being threatened with a constable, he ran off; he was pursued, and brought back, when he was very violent. From some cause or other, the Trumpington constable refused to interfere, and the prisoner was brought to the Cambridge station. The Bench fully committed him for trial. - Mr. BAYS, for the prosecution. - The prisoner is a son of Mrs. Brightwell, lately from Ely gaol, having been implicated in the Haddenham burglaries.
