  Charles Hughes , the Notorious Criminal, who was formerly Convicted of several Enormous Evils, for which he received Pardon, long since, now was again Indicted for breaking the House of Sir   John Talbot , Kt. and taking away several Parsels of Plate and other Goods , on the 23d day of October last. The Evidence was possitive against him, how that he opened the door with a Picklock-Key, and he was found in the House with a pair of Point Sleeves in his Custody: The Prisoner had nothing to say for himself, only threw himself on the Mercy of the Bench: so he was found Guilty of the Felony and Burglary.

[Death. See summary.]
