SURRAY SESSIONS, JAN. 2!. INTERESTING TRIAL -A FF.LONY UNDER PRE- TEM:F. OF FAIR PLAY. Jelin Manning, a person in the habit of attend ing fairs, and solperititending the several Karina played between fools mid rogues. wits placed at the bar upon a charge of robbery. declared to he com mitted under the pretext of fair play. The Court was much crowded, and the greatest interest existed during the trial, which was to de cide whether the common practices at fairs and merry meetings weir to he abridged by the law. It was the first indictment of the kind, and the result gave the utmost satisfaction. 'rile indictment charged Manning with having stolen a 10/. Bank of Eligla•ool note from one Bal• lingorl, Bailiff to u Mr. Cox, of Ryegate, ut Ewrll Fair. The Pro'secutor's account, which watt not n very clear one, until the rubbish of it ams removed by Mr. HARRISON. the Chaitinam stated, that he went to Ewell Fair in Oetolser lust, taking with lam 911. of his twister's mon.y, and noire of his own. lii patistrig through the fair lie obseived several pi None playing at cops and hall, a game of which he koewr nothing, and taking a fancy to the method of wit 00000 ig which presented its.

Ile hr 1.1 a ten imuml Murk note in 11115 1ia1.41, but did not hold it long, for the Prisoner, alio seemed to he a mare !onkel-oil, mid mot at a! I concerned in the game, snatched it and Ma 11111 with the greatest velocity . get the horses. At that moment, as if the a hole bumbles% was a plan for robbery, the players derineipil, kicking about the cops and balls, a n d the Prosecutor was left alone gaping about in astonishment. After .s tone he met a constable, to about lie mentimied the (Amnon stance, and from whom he received the mood prompt assiAltice. He never saw the note again, but atter room search he found the Prisoner, who mode several ineffectual u.tetupte to e,cape at the George public-house, where lir secured I and delivering lims to the constable, had the giatilica tiros of seeing him caged. In the witness'. cross-examination by the Pri *rower Comisel, lie said positively that he was look stag at the cups and balls, and saying that lie would bet, without being tikrii up in hie offer °la wager, when the Prisoner musician the mite from him. Ifr also said that the Prisoner, upon flailing himself pursued by a constable, betrayed the greatest dal 111, and hid himself to a stable at the (*.rouge. Tile next witness, a very important one, for his testimony was opposed to the statement of some of the gang to which the Pris.itier belonged, was Win. Furors, it boy about 14 years of age. fl, was, he maid, accidentally attracted at Ewell Fair to nue %pot .shire the cups and balls were exhibited ; w,.s pip.- seesed of nu money, and merely observed what was going forwaid. The Prosecutor, in Ins presence, took a Bin.k note nut of Ins pocket, and the Psi- NMI r illbta sit ly mai died it atilt took to Ina 1e.., 1.. All ham' who wettird to he concerned in the ; ;:cue ran off, leaving the instruments of the game to confusion. There was a crowd about the place, mid pulled the aitiiess out of it soon alter, and ollered limo mapetice provided he would not say word about the matter. Witness refused to take the sixpence, and on tinditig the Prosecutor, went twilit him and the constable to the George public ! ttttt se, where they laid hands tipon the Pitsolier, who took oust a 1/. note, and off ere d it to time can stable if he would let him off. The constable re lu•rd to take a bribe. (ham hi+ cros►-examination, the witneis said he net er heard any our say, that Ilillitigal had losst the 10/. sit the game. Ile remembered a remarkable observation of the publican, Upon ►rrnng that the Prisoner was charged 6' Ile is ust have stolen sususeiliing, or lie would out have been in such a hurry." The evidence for the Prisoner was as follows : ‘Volloilo %Vary°le deposed, that the Prosecutor gave a 10/. Byegate note to the stakeholder, to bold upiiii a wager to that a ((((( unt with a mall monied Barret, who was playing at the game. Fer goyim was the name the ottakeloolder. %Viten the mutter was decided, the htskeholder gave the note to Buret, who put it in his pocket and walked away, without shewiiig any inclination to run. All was lair play. John Ferguson stated, that the Prosecutor first offered to het a 5/. note, mid afterwaids upon being advised out to do so, that he pulled out a 10/. mile, which be uagrreal with a snail who was playing at cups and balls. The ry was put into the witness's hands by the Prosecutor, rod covered by the plater with trio I/. motes. The player said, " 1 win if the ball is moiler the middle cup ;" to which the Prosecutor assented. The cup was token tip, rood the ball occupied the spare. The *inlets therefore gave she %to/. to Barret, who won the motley and walked away with it.

A respectable person said, that Ilse Poisoner had lived wills him and act. d well, but it was smite time ago. Ile knew the Poisoner to be out of et erk for some time. The Counsel for the Prisoner laboured hard to cumvince Ilia Jury, from the evuletice they had heard, that the money hail hens lost at the game, and therefore., mitt g l i th e l imner might appeur fratithiletit, it was evident the 1:0111H - Uel1011 of fe lony could out hr put own' it.
