~ '..1 M►DDLESIa SES.qONS, JA•uaKY 1. - ~~► initiate Dorrien, Esq. a person of some note in the City., who was ab~ut two months back held to bail at Bow-street, himself in 6001. And two sureties in 3001. each, on a charge of indecently assaulting two soldiers, and against whom two true bills were found at the last December Session, the trial of which ought to ha* taken place at this Session, has thought fit to forfeit his bail by not appearing to take his trial. The witnesses for the prosecution were in attendance each day, but finding at last there was no probability of his appearance, they applied to the Court to relieve them from the ne cessity of further attendance by discharging their re cognizance!, and also to allow them their expenses. The CHAIRMAN inquired of Mr. ADen, the clerk of the'Colitt, whetlier there was any reason for expecting Mr. Dorrien would yet come in to take his trial? Mr. ALLEN said he considered there was none. The amount of the bail, and personal recognizance en tered into by M.. Dortien, together 1,2001. had al ready been paid to th.• Sheriff, —a course not likely to have been taken if the individual intended to stand his ft ial. Indeed, some days before the commence ment of the Session, a Gentleman had waited on him, (Mr. Allen), and tendered 6001. in discharge of the re cognizance% entered into by Mr. Dorrien's two bonds men, but he refused" to accept the money, unless the amount of Mr. Dorrien's personal recognizance was also paid at the same time. The Gentleman demurred to doing this, and was referred to the Sher iff'solfice, where the 604. was also refused to be taken, and the result watt, that the whole amount had since been paid. The CuAIIhaAN, under these circumstances, ordered tale recognizances o the prosecutors to be discharged, and their expenses to be allowed. Edward Braun, who on Friday pleaded 4 4 Guilty" to' an indictment charging him with having endeavoured to incite Mr. Martin to engrave for him 2,500 imita tions of the notes of the Sunderland Bank, was brought up to receive the sentence of the Court. The Coasamara sentenced him to the minimum of the punishment fixed by one of Mr. Peel's late Acts in cases of aggravated misdemeanour —namely, two year's im pri ment cad hard labour in the House of Correction. Ann and Mary Worry and Iliseheth O'Neil were indicted for an outrageous assault Ou Mrs. Wells, of Crown-street, Soho. The prisoners, it appeared, went to Mrs. Weirs shop t inquire for a person who lodged there, against whom they had conceived an ill wilt. Mrs. Wells endeavoured to protect this party from their violence, and in so doing brought it down upon herself. They pounced upon her, dragged her about by her bait, and bruised and injured her most severely. Mary Malony flung a four pound weight at her head, but the blow was partied by her arm, and the other Malony honied a baking dish at her, which struck her on the upper lip, making an incision completely through, and severely lacerating the gum underneath. Vet diet—Utility. The Court sentenced each of the prisoners to six weeks itnptisooment, in addition to the tin months they had already been in custody. John Allen Robinson, aged 20 years, pleaded guilty to an indictment, charging him with assaulting his own father. The prosecutor, an elderly and infirm man, with evident reluctance, entered into a detail of his son's niscondutt, from which it appeared that this was not his first offence, and that he had by his violence so destroyed the health and peace of mind of his mother, se to render it necessary to call in a i.hysician, by whose advid she had been removed into the country. That he was in the habit of staying out till three or four o'clock of a morning; would do no wotk, and when refused 'limey, or reproved for his misconduct, would abuse, and even assault his aged father. The pawner offered no contradiction so this state ment, but merely said he should have no objection to 'Rake an arrangeinent with his father, if he would alio* him s 4 much pet-Week. 'The CHAIRMAN said, that an art angement, as he called it, was quite out of the qttestion, and sentenced Wm to six months solitary confinement. The Court, at its rising, adjourned until Thursday OLD BAILEY, JANUARY 14. OLD COURT—(Before Mr. Sergeant Arum.)

These were othercountscharging him with intent to injure other persons. • • Jeremiah Alport stated, that on Sunday, the 9th of December, he was dining with a friend of his, Mr. Smith, 230, Shoreditch, between six and seven o'clock in the evening ; the front room, one pair, was neatly. filled with smoke; the bonne was' searched, and every part was fouisdperfectly safe ;they returned to the room; at the skirting board, next to Rowley's house, they smelt something b,urnings; they remained some time there; at ninee'cleck Mr. Smith vent for a watcbn an, wit , . also, said be smelt fire,- and went for the night constable; Smith then went oat door, and about ten o'clock wit ness went out:with Mr. Smith and the watchman; they then knocked and kicked at the door ; in about two mi rates a person came, and from the inside unscrewed the shutter of the sash part of the door ; they ultimately got in, and the prisoner was there, and no other person; he said he could not open the door, for, the man had gone out and locked him in ; the door was opened by the prisoner,and the patrol breaking the sash ; having got in we sa.d there was a fire in the house, and asked for a light ; the prisoner brought a candle; he said that be wan Asleep in the bakehouse; they went up stairs; he did not see the prisoner go up ; on the top stair of the I.lndia* he saw fire, under the landing ; in the riser of the top stair these was a hole of about nine inches; part of the joi,t of the flooring was on fire, and also the riser it was a tad 6re, not flame; be called out immediately “ here's the fire, bring some water t'' be went down and saw the prisoner coming with p pail of water in hi s hand ; the watching° tonic the water up and threw it est i the 6re; more wain was brought, arid the place °pewit to s ee ,thayhe Age was estlngaithed ; Witness foundA the hole some ?ilk plus err' libich'iktre burnt ; when be first went up be saw a bundle of rags on the landipgi and in a basket near there were rags and some paper ;1 • • sts W. hole- idt NM • Otia.Cil alt Aral l a I ; • t i ,%Melia •named 'May came there, and another named Franklin;, when the fire.was out the prisoner walked iris and d.Nwri the shop; he did not see the rower Rowley there; he left the house about twelve o'clock.. Cross•examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—There was no considerable delay when the prisoner came to the door ; he rendered every assistance. Mr. Smith corroborated the evidence of the last wit ness, and detailed some interrogatories that were put to the prisoner ; he said that the apprentice and a journey• man scent out between five and six o'clock. The prisoner also said, that he was not. gOing to open the door to a parcel of thieves. • A great deal of evidence Wes then going into, when Mr. Justice PARK s'aidoistit there was a vast body of evidence yet to be prodee,ed, bat he thought it rather bore upon the case of Rowley; but as the Grand Jury had, no doubt very properly, thrown out the bill against him, he thought that evidence could not be gone.into. With regard to two strong facts that had been swot n to, that affected the prisoner most, namely, the bolt of the lock not having sprung into its place, and the door being bolted ; and the patrol stating that he was sober;' whereas both with regard to that fact, and to the bolt, being contradicted, he thought it would not be sato to proceed. With retard-to she prisoner, it was certainly improbable that heshoeld have heti employed to set the place. on fire, ilatttchad beet the intention, when there were persons "AO would in ill probability halo been engaged for such *aided pet pose.

Henry Tibbs stated, that he was in the service of Mts. Norbury, and on the day in question was alone in her house, and about five o'clock in the evening heard a noise at the door, and opened it. Charles Melford was standing at it, and asked him if lie could have a few oysters? Witness said, yes; and the prisoner came into the shop, He asked how Mts.

MA It LBOROUG H.S TREET. _ Yettatday Sir G. FMIRANT, the Sitting Magistrate, at this office, was occupied for a considerable time in the investigation of f claim which two parties set up to the possession of a dog of the bell terrirr breed. Tom Cribb, the pugilistic ex-champion, as a friend of one of the claimants, attended to see fair play. The animal itself was produced in the possession of Mr. Toghill, who declared that he bad brought the dog up from a mere puppy to the age of seven months, in October last, when he lost it, and had not since seen it until be found it in the possession of the other claimant, a man named Cornish, a dog-fancier in Marlborough-row. Cribb said tint he had often seen the dog in the possession of Mr. Toghill, before he lint it, and he had no doubt whatever as to its identity ; indeed, he said, the animal recognised both Mr. Tog hill and himself the moment it saw them that morning, by fawning and jumping on them. Cornish, on the other band, said that the dog was fifteen months old, and that he had brought it up from a puppy; and he brought forward a man, who caUed himself a dog-doctor, to prove the age of the animal to be as he stated. This the worthy doctor did with. out hesitation; but the Magistrate not deeming his Doctorship altogether a disinterested juiee, directed die animal to be taken to Mr. Ewart, of Nassau-street, to request that he would favour the Magistrate with a certificate of its makes.. This was accordingly done, and Mr. Ewart certified that the dog was about ten months old, the age assigned to it by Mr. Toghill Sir G.
