The evidence having been gone through, Mr. Justice RICIIARDSON called on the Prisoner for her defence, to assist her in which, a Gentleman (a near relative) stood at her elbow. She proceeded to address the Court and Jury from a written paper, which she read in • calm but weak tone of voice: she denied in strong terms any knowledge of, or participation in the robbe►y ; and she also made very pointed comments on some parts of the evidence, on which she built some ingenious arguments in her fa :our; her conduct had been misrepresented, and she had been subjected to a stricter ordeal than Mrs. Cotterell, on the arrival of the officer; was it compatible with a koow , ledge of guilt to leave her chamber insecure, which she had done for the purpose of the servant making search for her pocket-book ? Whv had she retained in her possession that which, if guilty, would be prcof against her? When she had concluded her address, she called a witness, who, she said, was sworn not to mention names. Joseph Singleton was then sworn, and said be was a porter, and had carried Miss Butler a letter from a gen tleman at Boodle's club-house, about three or four weeks before the time in question, which appeared to contain both notes and sovereigns. Mr. Justice RICHARDSON repelled the capital part of the charge, that of stealing from a dwelli:.g-house, and summed up the evidence on the remaining count with much clearness. The Jory deliberated a few minutes, and returned their verdict—Guilty of stealing, but not from a dowelling house. They and the prosecutor recommended the pri soner to mercy.

The prosecutor swore to the two sovereizns. Three witnesses, Cope, Alexander, and Green, proved that Alexander obtained many gold pins from Solomon, which be sold to Green, in whoseahop they were found. Alexander, in his cross-examination, persisted in swearing that he did not Lnow what price he gave Solo mon for the pins. Mr. J ustice BEST said that the only evidence affecting Solomon (namely, that of Alexander and his family.) was not sufficient to convict him. With respect to the other prisoner, he feared this would not be the case. Tbe Jury acquitted Solomon, bat found Reading Geitty—Deads.

The same prisoner was indicted for embezzling 371. 7s. tid. in the saute manner ; but it appearing that the description of money paid to the prisoner could sot lin positively stated, the Jury, under the direction of toe Recorder, acquitted him.

Abrahams'said the prisoner had been treated with the greatest kindness by her and her family. All the expenses attending a long illness had been de frayed by them.

The soldier stated that as he was passing sear the defend.nt's house, when the fire was raging in that neighbourhood a few nights ago, Mr. Weston ran op to him, and without the slightest provocation knocked hiss down. When he got up Mr. Weston gave him another knock down blow, and witness could not at all account for such conduct, not basing offended any one. Two of the soldier's comrades confirmed the ac count of the assAult, and said they had sees no provo cation given. Mr. Weston said lie had certainly struck the soldier, but it was opts the very grossest provocation. When it was reported that there was a fire in the neighbour hood, Lie wife ran out; but she had scarcely left the house when he heard her scream, and upon going to her assistance, saw the complainant assaulting her in the most offeurive meaner. , lie then, without hesita tion, struck the fellow its, bad been described.

First, she said she bad received them as presents; this he discovered to be a falsity. She then referred him to other persons, and again her accounts were untrue. He then told her that unless she accounted for the obtain- ing such articles by honest means he would not receive her, as be knew not but they were stolen, and was de termined not to be involved in her guilt. He kept his' resolution, and denied her admittance, she still continu ing to give an unsatisfactory account of how she became possessed of time articles. The Magistrate informed him that, although the cir cumstances he related were of a very painful nature, it was necessary lie should give security to the parish of. for a sufficient allowance, according to hts circus& statwes : . . The husband said he would oat do so, but untaltlop . ette fer receiving her hark.
