SURREY SESSIONS. Yesterday Ezekiel Cohen was placed at the bar for fraudulently obtaining, under false pretences, from Ann Dyas, various sums of money, in consequence of his representing himself to be an Attorney. Mr. THrSSIGER conducted the prosecution, which was instituted by the Metropolitan Law Society. Ann Dyas sworn-Llir July, 1820, saw the prisoner at the bar in Union-street, Borough, when her -hus band's cart and horse was going to tile green-yard, in consequence of her husband having been hawking sand without a license ; the prisoner took witness by the atm, and said, " My good woman, I'm a Lawyer and an Attorney, and if you take the law in your own hands you will suffer for it ;" witness then went to a public-house in Union-street, of the sign of the Catherine Wheel, where the prisoner said, " I want 6s. 3d. for a consultation fee ;" this sum witness paid Cohen, who took out a piece of paper, and making some memorandums, they then went to Union Hall, but the Office was closed ; an appointment was then made by the prisoner to meet witness on the following Monday, at the above-mentioned public-liouse. A few days afterwards prisoner called upon witness , and asked her' what she meant to do in the business, and whether she would engage him professional!), tress expressed her willingness to obtain the services of the prisoner, upon which the prisoner demanded ten shillings, which witness paid him ; the next time witness saw the prisoner was on the Ist of October, when he came and said he wanted 2/. 2s. for.young Turton. Witness told prisoner she could not collect so much, but gave him 11. is. and 2s. 6d. for the , above Learned Gentleman's clerk. Prisoner then I, said, " This guinea is for Mr. Turton, when will you have any for me?" A receipt for this sum was put in, and proved to be in the hand-writing of the pri soner. Witness said she would let him have some in a few days. In about ten days, witness took 10s. more to the house of the prisoner. On the 15th of October, prisoner came to witness's house, and de manded the whole of his money, and without which he would not carry the cause further. Witness told the prisoner she had only 31. 3s. when he said, out of that sum lie had to pay Mr. Turton two guineas; and added, he had already given a guinea to Mr. Turton, as a retailing fee. Witness in a few days went to Kingston Assizes, and heard the name of " Dyas"' called in Court, when she went to the prisoner, who was walking outside of the Court. Prisoner replied, there was time enough. Witness was not in Court • the following . day. Cross-examined—They were not all drunk that afternoon ; were in a puqic-house a few minutes; never heard of a person of the name of Spencer, as attorney; the first money she paid prisoner was 6s. ad. next 10s. in a few days 10s.more ; on the Ist Octo ber £1 3s. 6d. and last £3 3s. William Myers sworn—Was at the house of the last witness on the Ist October, aad corroborated the last witness's evidence, generally, as to what passed with the prisoner on those days; and added, that the prisoner repeatedly stated he was a regular attorney. Cross examined—Did not know the prisoner as a clerk to Mr. Spencer; never had a quarrel with the prisoner, or said he would swear anything against him. Esther Myers, the wife of the last witness, was preseit with her husband at the meetings with the prisoner, and confirmed the whole of the evidence. John Bowers was clerk to Mr. Turton, the barrister, in 1820, and kept accounts of all fees ; never received arty fees on behalf of Dyas, in that year. Mr. James Anderum, solicitor to the Metropolitan Law Society, stated he had searched all the rolls of each Court, and no attorney of the name of Ezekiel Cohen appeared on the roll. Mr. COWLEY addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoner, but called no witnesses. The Jury consulted for a short time, and found a verdict of Guilty. The CHAIRMAN addressed the prisoner, and said, he had at length fallen into a trap which he did not expect when he commenced the practices of which he had been found guilty ; and as an example to others, for the purpose of preventing such harpies preying on the poor, he must be punished to the utmost extent of the law. The prisoner was then sentenced to be transported for seven years. On the sentence being pronounced a burst of ap probation took place. Thomas Charles Fitzhugh Sandon, commonly called Captain Sandon, was indicted for obtaining under false .pretences various sums of money from Edward Putland, formerly a timber-merchant at Croydon. Edward Putland examined—On the 25th of April, 1822, I rendered to the King's Bench Prison, where I first became acquainted with the defendant in June following; I stated my circumstances to the defend-, ant, who appeared much interested in my welfare, relative to my creditors, when the defendant asked me what amount there was against me at the Gate? I informed him abbut 1:540, when the defendant re plied it was a trifling sum, and he could get my affairs settled ; after some calculations made by the defendant, he said he should want about thirty pounds for my liberation. I expressed my surprise that with so small an amount he could obtain my discharge; when defendant replied, that lie had a friend of the name of Green, who stood very high in the commer cial world, and also at his‘banker s. I then stated to defendant my having no money, when defendant said an acceptance would be equally satisfactory to Mr. Green, as that Gentleman would pay the bill into his banker's, and Mr. Green would then advance money as required ; defendant added, should it require a trifling - sum more, he would inform me in due time. A few days afteretriids, a bill of exchange, at two months, drawn by the defendant, and accepted by me, was returned to the defendant. On the 25th of Jane, defendant came to my room, and stated, that he had seen Mr. Green ; he was with him last even ing, and that Gentleman had procured one discharge, but could not state which it was; and added, that a further supply of money must be made, to the amount of six pounds, which mutt, if possible, be collected the next day ; which sum defendant received the following day. On the 29th, defendant required a 16s. 6d. more, which he stated would finish the transaction. I informed defendant that 1 had but £7, upon which defendant replied, " You shall not stand sMI for a couple of pounds, I will advance it, and Tou,must return it as soon as convenient ;" the two pa t inas were aeturned the following day. For a month afterwards I was daily' in the habit of asking the reason my discharge had not arrived ; .also urged - to be introduced to Mr. Green, which defendant at all times declined ; from time to time defendant made many excuses for the non-arrival of the disci rge. On the 10th of -July defendant informed me t at the reason 'why my discharge was not got was, at Mr. Green had much difficulty in arranging with Mr. Hodeson, Solicitor to the Assignees of Messrs. Todd and Co. and that it would require a further sum of El 4. Mr. Green was going to dine with one of my creditors at the King's Head Tavern, in the Poultry. On the 14th July, Mrs. Putland,. in my presence, and also in the presence of the defendant's brother, paid the additional sum of £l4, on the solemn pro mise made by the defendant that the discharge should be lodged on the following day; at the time defen dant received the 1:14, he put it up in a piece of paper, and handed it over to his brother, saying-4, Here,. Matt. go immediately and deliver this to Mr. Green." No discharge arrived the next day, and for several days afterwards defendant alleged some excuse or' other. At last my suspicions having been, roused, I sent to several of my creditors, and the answer re ctived from them was, that no person had applied to , them for a compromise of their demands against me;' and it was not until my brother settled ss ith my cre ditors that I was liberated from the King's Bench Prison ; since which liberation and the filing of the present indictment, I have been arrested upon the before-mentioned bill of £5O, by Mr. Dolman, At torney in the Marshalsea, from which Court tbe ac tion has been removed, and this day I am brought up by Habeas." Many other witnesses were examined, whose evi dence confirmed the above statement; also several - of the creditors proved no application having been made by Mr. Green to settle Mr. Putland's debts. The*Jury returned a verdict of Guilty; and the CHAIRMAN, in passing sentence, remarked at consi 'derable length on the enormity of the offence, and , sentenced the prisoner to seven years transportion. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JULY 30. AN ATTORNEY OF COURT STRUCK OFF THE ROLLS. William Henson, an unopposed insolvent, applied fur his discharge, he being a marksman. Mr. White, his attorney, was called on to read it, but neither he nor his clerk appealing, the Court ordered his name to be erased from the Roll of Attornies acting therein. IRREGULAR PRACTICE. Thomas Reed applied for his discharge. Mr. CARPENTER, his attorney, addressed the Court, and complained that notwithstanding he had paid every possible attention to the insolvent's ulterior bu siness, he had thought fit to draw his own brief, for the contents of which he, as attorney on the record, was responsible, however erroneous it might be. The practite had become a growing 'evil,' as there Were attornies in prison to draw them. COURT—Does any Gentleman appear for this man? Mr. Hearir.-1 hold the brief.—(Mr. Heath at tempted to explain, but the Court intimated they could not hear him). The insolvent said that he had not seen Mr. Car penter or his 'clerk for a fortnight, and as he wanted to make some 'alterations id his schedule he had adopted this plan. Mr. HEATH—The only qu'estion is, did the insol vent draw this himself, or did he employ another at torney ?—lt ii,the:plietice at Sessions every day. Mr. Commissioner Ha:aats and Mr. Commissioner BOWEN observed, that after 20 years' practice as Bar risters, they had not found it so ; or if they did, never sanctioned it. Mr. CARPENTER. 4 went to The prison last night, and he acknowledged that a law-stationer. and fel low-prisoner, named Upsdell, had drawn the brief. The insolvent was then examined by the Cover.— He stated that on the day he was arrested he received £3O, which he placed in the hands of a person, named Hopkins, who had since given it over to his wife, and they had spent it. The insolvent, it jppeared, was arrested on the .sth,, retained his attorney on the 6th, petitioned on the 7th, and signed his schedule on the 17th of Junt—in which he set forth, that, when he went to prison, he had only 12s. in his possession, and received £1 rime. The COURT observed, that the insolvent had been guilty of a most shameful and deliberate attempt to commit a fraud on the Act of Parliament, by placing his funds in the hands of another. If he had sworn to that schedule, he would, on discovery, have been most assuredly indicted for perjury. In order that others might be deterred from such fraud, the COURT dismissed his Petition, and remanded him to prison. - FRAUD. Robert Whiteman was brought up to receive the judgment of the Court. On a former day he had , been opposed by a man in humble life, who bad ac com mo dated him with his. acceptances on many oc casions. A short time before he went to prison, he got an acceptance of 201. from this poor man, whose, name was Bailey. He came again, and requested an acceptance fur a different sum, which Bailey gave him, on the insolvent faithfully promising him that the 20/. bill should be destroyed; but instead - of this, the insolvent negotiated both the bills, which Bailey was obliged to pay when they became due: the con sequence was, he and his family were nearly ruined. The COURT held this to be a most deliberate act fraud, committed on a poor man, who had done au act of friendship, and met with this ungrateful re turn; and sentenced the insolvent to be imprisoned eight months within the walls of the prison.

M•goo■■ lU,CPIth'ON OF MURDER. QUEIIII.4QUARL—TueuIay Militia Dyer, who stands charted with wilfully dmwning Eliza Anthony, was further examined before A. Wring and E. MARKLANO, Esqrs.—the office was crowded to excess, and also the street and geeen-square, with perrons of both sexes, anxious to we the prisoner, so great was the interest the case excited from its peculiarity. The prisoner was then placed at the bar ; he was pale and wan, and was scarcely able to stand. Samuel Wilson, waterman at Westminster-bridge stairs, was ' the fur witness examined—He stated, that he was plying at the upper stairs, Westminster-bridge, when Mrs. Bell, the woman who passed for the prisoner's wife, came to him and asked seve ral questions about Eliza Anthony, the woman who is supposed to have been drowned ; be asked her whether she was certain of her being drowned? and she r?plied in the affirmative • observing, she was told of it by the man who was with her at the time. Ile then inquired who that man was? She, with some warmth, an swered that was immaterial tat him. Ile said the man should be known and brought forward, To this she replied he was too harsh ; the man loved her toe well to hurt her. Ile then ob served, if so, he would not stand in the water and see her drowning without making an alarm, when six watchmen were upon the bridge. He took the address of the mother of the poor young woman who was drowned, from her, and sent a man named Arthur for her. She came soon afterwards, and wringing her hands, said her daughter was murdered. Ile advised her to apprise the polite. This was all he knew of the matter; Frances Hopkins, being sworn, stated, that she came from Birmingham about three. weeks ago; is a dress-maker in the employ of Miss Woodman, in Coldbath-square. The first fort night she lodged at the -house of Mr. Moore, gun-maker, in Pic-' cadilly, in consequence of an acquaintance of his being servant there. This servant found lodgings for her with Mrs. Bell, who lives in a garret, No. 37, Jermyn-street. On Friday night last, she slept with Mrs. Thell ; she tame borne from work at nine o'clock in the evening, and they both went to bed at twelve o'clock, and' were together from nine till that time ; she fell asleep, but the street-door bell rang at about two o'clock, as she believes, when Mrs. Bell got up to let in the prisoner, who was supposed to be her husband. Ile appeared to be very unhappy, and bad - some conversation with Mrs. Bell. Witness believes she heard him say a young woman was drowned, but being hard at work all day, and very tired, she fell asleep again, and paid no attention to what they said. Mrs. Bell went out, the prisoner remained at home; believes he went to bed. Mri. Bell returned— they conversed again together; he still appeared very unhappy. blacusrsarx—Had you seen the young woman who was drowned there, since you came to lodge with Mrs._ Bell ?—No, Sir, I never saw her at all. Marnsraarn—Had you taken any particular notice of the prisoner's dress ?—No, Sir, I had not. Prisoner—You heard her telling me to change it. Witness—l believe Mrs. Ben, to the morning, desired him to change his dress. bloammare--When he came home, at two o'clock, was his dress wet or not ?—I think it was wet ; but I did not tairmuch notice of him at that time. Maeisvaara—lt is very singular, that when you heard a young woman, like yourself, was drowned, you treated it so lightly, and asked no questions. Witness—l thought it was no business of mine, and that it , was best not to ask questions about matters which did not con cern me, lest I should get in trouble. MAGIVIIIATa—•••Had Mrs. Bell ever told you she was married to the prisoner, or had the young woman who recommended you to her informed you she was married ?—I made no inquiry what ever about it ; she having a Child, I concluded she was a mar ried woman, but that her husband was Anent on business. Itlaersraarn—Mrs. Bell, had you ever been married to the prisoner, or had you ever passed for his wife? This is a most extraordinary account. Mrs. Bell—l was never married to him, indeed; but I have passed for his wife. I have always maintained an unimpeachable character, and Hied by my own industry; nothing could be im puted to me degrading to my character, except my having un fortunately become acquainted with him. Matareraare—We had it in evidence, that you had been on Friday night with Mrs. Anthony, to acquaint her of the state her daughter was in. Then why had you gone next morning to Mr. Wood's house to inquire where she lived ? Mrs. I3eU--Not to inquire Where she lived, Sic, but to ay 'I bad been there the night before. and to inform them the girl was drowned. - - MAGISTRATE—MU the girl pregnant, or bad she told you so before this happened? Prisoner—She wu with child, Sir. I lupe you will let me see thr body when it is found. The officer said the river had been dragged, but that the body had not yet been found. The Magistrate ordered the watchman upon the bridge to be brought forward, and the prisoner was again remanded. Yesterday the prisoner was again brought up, and underwent a long examination before Mr. Maizs.&xn and Mr..Wune. John Ray, 8, Strutton-ground, watchman at the Speaker's house, deposed, that on Friday night be went on duty as usual, on the terrace before the Speaker's house ; about two o'clock on Saturday morning he heard the cry of murder, which was re peated two or three times; the sound appeared to issue from under Westminster Bridge, and to the besi of his judgment was a man's voice; directly afterwards he heard - the same voice ex claim, " Hiza, my dear ! Eliza, my dear ! help, help r—Yhe prisoner on bearing these words was so overcome, that hi fell backwards in a swoon; a chair was then brought him, and In a short time he recovered a little. Mra. Bell examined by the Magistrate—Did you go with the prisone ' Brewer-street r and Eliza Anthony to the Theatre on Friday evening? —No 'I did not ; I went only as far as with them, when the prisoner prevailed upon me to return. How did they obtain the money to go to the Theatre with ? —By pawning a waistcoat belonging to the prisoner. William Williams, green-grocer, No. 11, Shiriard-street, Golden-square, deposed that the p risoner took lodgings in Ms house on the 17th of May last, where he resided with Mize An thony, whom he supposed to be his wife • while with him, they conducted themselves very properly, and paid the rent regu larly for the first four weeks, but none afterwards, although he had often asked for it. On Friday evening, between five aid six he went to the prisoner's apartment for his rent, when he found Eliza Anthony there with a little girl; the prisoner was not pre sent ; be asked her, if shp could let, him have the rent ? she told him Dyson, was out endeavouring to get money to pay it, and that if the rent was not paid they wooed quit the lodging that livening. He told her she might leave, and take her things with her if she liked, and pay him when they could ;as they were in distress, be did not wish to be bard with them. He then went away, end about half-past seven he saw Eliza Anthony leave his house with the little girl, and saw no mote of her. About ten O'clock Mrs. Bell came to the apartment, and took away two large bundles of cotbes., On Saturday afternoon, about half past seven, the prisoner called at his house, apparently much agitated, and told him that Eliza bad drowned herself under Westminster-bridge; that he saw her float down the stream, and endeavoured to save her, but could not. Mrs. && 'called the next morning, and repeated the same thing. The prisoner was remanded till Saturday. The body has not yet keen found. Eotr-BranisTestertlay, Jamis Abbots, a person Ato pre. fixes the sidir of" Reversed . ' to his manse, but wbo, it would ap pear, has not yet obtained holy orders, attended at this Ofike before Sir R. Brum and G. R. lilzkotuutt., Esq. to answer to a charge under the 39th Geo. 111. for unlawfully pawning a large quantity of books, value 306 e. the propertyof Abel Brett &ere. ton, without the authority olds* winter. • • The Rev. Mr. Brereton stated, that he was residing at present with bis brother at Sterrington Hall, Norfolk, and is a Clergy. man of the Established Church. The defendant keeps a school' at Davington-justaarsinitham, in Kent; and also officiated as Minister of a Chapel there annexed to the Established Church, but alienated front the authority of the-Bishop of the diocese. It was the exclusive property of Mr. Turner, the lord of the manor upon which it stood. Some time ago witness aside' an engage ment with the defendant to iisist hint in his 'aishistil, and also to oLciate occasionally in the chapel. The defwidapt generally read proyets and preached, and witness iiniforuily administered the sacrament, and solemnised marriages there. In the early part of the present year, in eonsequetwe of Ittdlsaibition, Seisdetvd him unable to per f orm hir duties with satisfactiowts Maw% he resigned his situation and wentinto Norfolk, leaving A valuable library, consisting of theological books, in the care bf the defendant, who was to keep them till the Witness could eon• veniently send for them. About three weeks Intl be was hi. formed by a Mr. Sainsbury that the books were pawned r and be hid seen some of them at Mr . Dty's, a pawnbroker in,St. Ma:. tbes4ane. He gave the defendant no authority to pairn tfie books. i 'The witness was cross-eunaped by the deltudant's solicitor, and asked among other things, if he had not been ;linty, while at s Davington, of repeated acts of inebriety? The Magistrates immediately declared the question to be a highly improper one, and said Mr. Brerecon was not at all bounds to answer it ; but the latter expressed his willingness . to do so, and said firmly," I have not." Defendant—Good God! I discharged him for getting drunk. The Magistrates sharply reproved the defendant fur this remark. Mr. Sainsbury, of Ben-buildings, Salisbury-square, stated that he saw an advertisement in the daily papers, for the dispos a l of some Church property; o/t answering which, he saw the de. fendant, who stated that he had a library to dispose of, whisk he (Sainsbury) pawned for 351. and remitted the money tc the I defendant. The defendant, In answer to the charge, read a long written defence, in the course of which he made very gross attacks upm the characters of Mr. Brereton and Mr. Sainsbury, the latter of whom he accused of having cheated him in every possible way. He denied that he ever authorised Mr. Sainsbury to pawn the books, and said it was done by the latter wititout his sanction. A conversation which lasted neatly three hours em it !, in ti,e. course of which a great deal of invective pa'.ed on both sides.. It ended In the defendant being ordered to pay the sum of za i . 10s. being the amount of principal and interest of the pawning., and a penalty of 51. as authorized by the Act of Pailiament. The. defendant expressed himself dissatisfied with this niter, and entered into recognizances to prosecute, and appeal ..t the Sessions against the conviction. MA MAO otovGit-STREET.—Mary Ann. Pearce, better kn )wn ar all the police-offices by the title of Lady Barrinnare, was yester. day brought front St. Giles's watch-house before Mr. Mee, the sitting Magistrate, charged with conduct very unbecomirg a hdp of her rank. Green, one of the beadles of St. Giles's parishi, stated that he found her ladyship on the night before quite drunk, in the street, surrounded by a mob of about fifty per. sons, and kicking up a regular row. lle attempted to take her to the watchhouse, but so violent was her resistance, being well instructed in the pugilistic art, that he was obliged to force her with great difficulty into a coach, and by that means convey her away. During the whole of this recital, her ladyship hppeared at the bar as mute and modest as if she were in her pristine in. nocence; but no sooner did Mr. Dv ma utter the words " Twenty one days at "the tread-mill," than the mild Lady Barrymore eras. suddenly transformed into the furious termagant Mary Ana Pearce. She d—d and , b—ted the whole Magistracy, and every other species of authority, hot in particular Mr. DUCK. and "suiting the action to the word," she aimed a desperate, blow at Green, the beadle, who stood rather near her, which, had it not missed its aim, would have soon made Mr. Green's face look black. As it was, he appeared rather blue, for she seat his hat flying to the opposite side of the office. The Magistrate now said be should add seven days more to her amusement at the tread-mill, and a month should be the period of her sojoura in the House of Correction. On the officers proceeding to re, prove her, in obedience to this sentence, she swore she would net move an inch, and her ladyship kicked and plunged within t'st bar as gracefully as a young colt first tried in harness. She di. rested another tremendous hit at Green's head, which he had also the good fortune to escape the full' force of. At length, after a desperate struggle, her ladyship was by main strength literally carried to the strong-room, where she was left to prance about until the hour for removing her to her final destination. ' Maxstort-House--A carrier was charged before Aldermaa Cox with having exercised his worldly calling on Sunday, aithis the hours of Divine Service, by delivering a puce. The alleged offence was proved, but the carder pleaded in his defence as Act of Parliament, which inflicted a penalty upon the fraternity If they did not deliver parcels within a limited time after their arrival in town; and he proved that if he had not delivered the parcel at the period complained of, he mast hay.e.subjeeted hint- , self to the penalty. Alderman Cox, in this dilemma, looked closely at the two Acts, which were so completely at variance, j and finding the Act upon which the defence was groundol of I later date than the other, decided in favour of the cattier. 1 EXECUTION. John Radford alias Bright, whose trial for the murder of Sarah Downe, by throwing her into the river at East Worlington, srs gave in the STAS on Monday, was that day ex e cuted on theplat. form ever the gateway of the county gaol, at Exeter, furies previously confessed his guilt. The only particulars of Etyma sequence, which were not brought out in evidence on the trial, appear to be, that when walking with the girl from Cole's house, on the night of the murder, he would have parted from her as the road and gone to his own home, but that she took pains to prevent him, and prevailed on him to proceed farther with ha; and that when they had reached her home, she would not lent him, and go into her house, as he desired her, but o n i ts coning to r ain, she proposed going to Mr. Smith's linhay for sinker, and when there still detained him, when he advised her to so in, and let him go home. After some time, she reminded him that she was with dig 'by him, and wished him to Marry her. This he declined, eat* his reason. that she had already bad two children by othermer ' and that he did not think her present pregnancy could be fdri; attributed to him. Upon this she became enraged, and alma him grossly, and with oaths, swearing that if she were able, ehe would 'throw him into the water, which they had appended, duripg their altercation ; and it was in return for this thus, that he, being now worked up into a passion, pushed her iar :The water was very deep, and she sunk. lb then tamed round and exclaimed, " the Lotto have mercy upon me, I haw done for her l" Then, be went down into the water, to get he out, but it was very dark; and he could nut fi nd be e. Wen went home, 'praying all the way, that the Auseaser would for give him. Previous to his leaving his cell, and again cc the scaffold, he declared to the Rev. Chaplain (Mr. Crave) tiotie never bad any criminal connection with the miserable woes; yet this does' not appear from his written confetti's.- Igor does it appear, as it has been said, that he prenseslitnado murder. He said he would have left her, but she imtiottionl, teazed, and provoked him to rage; under the sudden impulsed which, he pushed her from the bank, at which they band. dentally arrived, and as suddenly repented of what be had don The Conduct of the miserable man in his last moments mita sympathy :—He walked from his cell to the scaffold with earl appearance of repentance and resignation,.calmly but firealf, sal bidding adieu to those around him in a very unaffected NOM —He ascended the stairs, submitted to be pinioned, lab* his neck-handkerchief removed, and surveyed the assesilder course on the right and left, all with perfect carpool"; Is seemed, from the motion of his lips, to pray without intenaan Before the last prayer was read to him, he manifested heti' tierce to have it over, and muttered something to that ant he had even said, " Good bye t'ye all !" and twice deer lit handkerchief, from impatience to be gone, Yet, after *h,, repeated the ',Oaf Prayer firmly and audibly ; and 0 k Rev.
