Sheriff Par kins was also in his place; but no business could be proceeded upon, on account of the absence of the Al dermen on the rota. Within a short time Mr. Alderman Bevgate came into Court; every endeavour was used to procure the attendance of iiW 1.1'.. 1 v.:r magistrates, but without success; and after waiting upwards of an hour, and the return of the messengers, Mr. Recorder, in a short speech, dismissed the jurymen, and at!jouriied the Court. There were six prisoners, viz.—five men and one woman, fee trial on trifling charges, principally for assaults, all of whom, from their inability to procure bail, had already suffered imprisonment, more or less; and who, unless they obtain bail, which is very unlikely, will, in consequence of this adjournment, be detained in prison 1 the 12th of January next. ilioltte.
