The RECORDER sentenced the prisoner immediately to 14 years' transportation. Thomas Kinder was indicted for stealing a quattity of plate, the property of M . . Storr and Mortimer, of New Bond-street, and Sarah Cherry Was indicted for receiving the same. The prisoner was a porter in the employ of the prosec.:- tors, and had been frequently intrusted wi:h plate to a large amoant. On the 15th of January. the prisoner absconded with the property in question in his possession. As soon all it was discovered that the prisoner had absconded, an officer was sent after him; and he was at length found in the house of the prisoner Cherry, on Sunday the 19th of February. — The officer searched the house, although Mrs. Cherry sv ore positively she had no plate in her possession. He dear d her to open a cupboard in the room, and she very reluctantly complied. As soon as the door was opened, she put the candle out, and secreted a bag between her legs. The offi cer perceived the manoeuvre, opened the bag, and found the plate. Both the prisoners were found guilty, snl were sentenced to 14 years' transportation.

BowTßEßT.—Yesterdav, Mr. Claneey, the lanillcird of the Rain Hood pub'ic-house, in Holborn, applied to Mr. Minshall, the !sitting Magistrate, to issue a %%arrant or some other process, against two persons, who, he 'aid, had defrauded him and his brother-in-law of 2001. by false pretences. About 14 months ago, one of the parties against wh.im he complained, (he did not mention his name). and who was an engineer, applied to him and his brother-ir-law, stating that belied, after much profound study and some years of labour, invented a machine which would com pletely supersede the use of steam in all cases where a propelling power was required. It would be equally ef fectual in manufrctories, in vessels by water, arid even carriages by land; and, in short, would possess all the power of strain without any of the expense and danger attending the working of steam engines. He had, !-.0 said, obtained a patent for it, and money . only was want ing to bring into full and general operation an invention sshich would astonish the world. He requested Mr. Clancy and his brother-in law to purchase a 16th share, which he said would amount to MI. Mr. Clancy, how ever, did not like to part with so considerable a sum, without a little more minute inquiry, and proposed that Mr. Galloway, the engineer in Mohnen, should examine the invention, and if lie should be of opinion that it would answer, he (Mr. Clancey) would have no objec tion to purchase a 16th. "0 dear! no," said the ingeni ous inventor, " that will never do ; fur Mr. Galloway, is a finished engineer, and moreover he is a rich mai, and if he saw the invention, he would immediately con struct a similar machine, and we should lose all the b.- nefit of it." Mr. Clancey still objected, and the engineer then said, if the money was advanced, be would give Mr. Clancey and his brother a bill for the amount, ac cepted by a respectable tradesman, ss a collateral security for the re-payment, if the design should not answer. The bill was to be dated at tweve months, and an agreement drawn up, in which it should be sti pulated that Mr. Clancey and his brother should, at any time within that period, make their election, either to continue their share, in the invention, or to sue for the amount of the bill. Upon these conditions the two hun dred pounds were advanced, and Mr. Clancey's brother in-law received the bill. This bet aim due at Christmas last, and the machine never having been brought into action, Mr. Clancey expected to receive payment of the 2C01.; but no money was forthcoming; and when heap plied to the acceptor of the hill upon the subject, the latter snapped his fingers in his face, laughed at hire, and said, " 1 am going into the Peet, :aid 1 tall pay Yeit there." Mr. Calloway had subsequently examined the machine and declared it to be all a fallacy —a mere trick to raise money. _ _ .

K ' CARTER V. AISBOTT. This was en action by the assignees of a bankrupt named Abithol, to recover back money which he bad lost at play in the gambling-house kept by the defendant. At the trial, which took place at the sittings for Middlesex a her last Tri n,ty Term, Mr. Abithol, the bankrapt, was tendered as a witness. It appeared that he had obtained his certificate; that he hod been released by all the creditors who had proved under the commission, and also by the assignee, who was not a creditor. Ile had also released the assignees, so as to resign any share in the residue of the estate in case of surplus. The LORD Cturr JUSTICE received his evidence, and a verdict was found for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court on a special case on the competency of the witness. It was now argued by Mr. F. Potiocit, for the defendant, that Abithol was not competent; because, first, his certifi cate might be annnlled if it appeared that he had lost more than ten pounds at a sitting ; ■nd secondly, that the re leases divested the assignee of all interest, so that he had no title to sue. The COURT held that the assignees bad interest sufficient to enable him to sue, and that the releases rendered the witness competent; they therefore gave judgment for the plaintiff.
