John Moore, being recallkd, identified the bottle produced in Court; he also said he was sure the sixpence was the same that had been in his till. The prisoner being asked for his defence addressed the Court. Ile said he had been to Islington on the day in quits turn, to take tea with Mr. Malone, a friend of his, and on his return be met Mr. Kane, a clerk hi the employ . of Messrs. 3leux and ('o. ; he afterwards went to the •• Horse Shoe," in Holborn, where he had some refreshment ; he then went into n house in St. Giles's, where he honght a bottle of whisky to make a present to a friend, hut as he slid not think it would he of any ingwntarce to him he did not sufficiently remark the house to enable him now to say what house it-was ; the money he had in his possession he could account for; he had received 15s. from Mr. Robinson the Tuesday before, and 11 . from another gentleman ; he said he was sure the Court and Jury wouid be con. einced that it was very improbable that he would have displaced bottles and rummaged drawers in a situation where the prosecutor and his wife could see hint. and who were likely to awake at the least noise ; he raid the prosecutor was in the constant habit of changing his servants, and on the day he (the prisoner) was al. leged to have stolen the money the prosecutor had dischaged the bar-maid. John Moore being again recalled, said the prisoner at first said be had money. The prisoner then called witnesses to character. Henry Robinson, Esq. examined by Mr. CRESWELT--I am partner in the firm in 'Wright, Selby, and Robinson. l a m acquainted with the prisoner ; lie teaches my family. Ile was most highly recommended to me by a particular friend. Ilia conduct has been, since my acquaintance with him, most correct. James Roche, Esq. of No. 10, Parliament-street, also gave the prisoner a high character. He had known him for nine or ten yeas ; he bore an excellent character. From his conduct and edu cation, lie should consider the prisoner incapable of the crime he was charged with. Mr. illanin O'Brien, dyer, 3, Johmstreet, Borough, gave the prisoner a goad character. Iles Floria. bruslimaker and perfumer, 88, Jermyo-street, also bore testimony to the pawl character of the prisoner. The Comatose charged the Jury, which consisted of a brief summary of the evidence. The Jury, without leaving the box, acquitted the prisoner. The Court rose about eight o'clock. • SURRP.Y SES.SIONS, THURSDAY, JAN. M. THE PARISH OF SEAL V. THE rainy; OF CROYDON'. 1 This was a case of appeal brought by the one parish against the removal of a psuper'ftom another. The woman who was the sub ject, of appeal was born at Seal, but lived subsequently in the parishes of AVrotham and Shoreham, both lying in the county of Kent. During the period of her residence in these latter places, the pauper was the mistress of a Mr. Glover. At the time of his death, however. she was dwelling at Croydon. Under the impress. shin that, from her state of life, the woman had not acquired any settlement at tither Vi'rotham or Shoreham. she was rtmoved by the parish of Croydon to her birth-settlement at Seal. Against this removal the parish of Seal appealed, and in support of this appeal , evidence was adduced that the woman, during the period of her, residence with Mr, Glover. acted in the capacity of a servant, and received stipulated wages of 101. per annum. The COURT, dresning this testimony presumptive proof of a settlement in the parish of Shoreham or Wrothani, decided in favour of the appeal. THE PARISH or LEW s. THE PARISH Or CROYDOIf. Jn this ease an appeal war made by the parish of Lew, situate in the county of Oxford, against the removal of a pauper from Croy. don. It was contended that the order fur removal should be quashed, because the pauper had obtained a valid settlement at Croydon, where he paid a rent of 4s. per week. The Corer expressed an opinion that such a settlement as the Statute required was not obtained in the present instance; for, though the annual segregate of 45.• a week exeetded the 101. ape. Cifivil as the ntinimuns by the Act of Parliament. yet a tenement. held by so precarious a tenure could not be conaiderell of the yearly value of the entire items, as the house war liable to be unoccupied during several weeks of the year. Under a conception that tiny uncertainty always caused on increase of rent proportionate to the shortness. of the tenure. and to compensate the risk, the appeal tea not admitted to be valid by the 31agistrates.

A KIDNAPPED CHILD. About a week since two females and a man, with a donkey, and female intent, came to the hcuse of Mrs. Barnett, of No. 6, George-yard, Whiterhapel, where they took lodgings. During their continuance there, from certain expressions they - let fall, a:ti their general conduct towards the baby , which' did not partake of that parental tendernese which is usually evinced to wards a person's own child, she ituttpected that the claims of affinity they laid to it were entirely fictitious, and that it had been kid napped fmm some unhappy family, who were now deploring its loss. tier mind in consequence became uneasy, and to net her doubts at rent, and develope the mystery, she communicated the circumstances to Goodwin, one of the Bow-street patrol, who, in order to arrive at the truth. took the panics into custody, and brought them betide *.M. Wyatt,' Esq., the presiding Magistrate at Lambeth-street office; the child was also in attendance, and is a genteel lelizute-lookirar baby of about 2 leant old, with Tali hair and complexion, and full blue ayes. she was in an ettennely filthy state, but vet there was on air of respectability about) her which ill accorded with her r,pured - parentage, The prisoners, on being plated at ire bar, gave their names Ar. Mar French, Mary (supno,ca to be his wife) and Catherhe Ste phens. The evidence ad r iuced agaivst them was then taken, and was as follows t— hins. Ann Barnett examined—l live at No. 6, George-yard, Whitechapel. About a week since the prisoners, bringing with them as child, and also having a donkey, took loilings art my house. From the conversatiraM they herd, I suspected the child did not belong to them. The male prisoner, Arthur French, used frequently to say, " though tliere iv net a drop of nor hind in its body, I behave as well to it Its if it was my own." These expres sions, combined with other ectraordinary.circumstances in the con. duct of the entire three, made me imagine that the infant bore no relationship to the prisoners, sod that it had been kidnaped ; in consequence of these suppositirant I gave information td Goodwin. the otreer, who took them into etettody. When this witness hid concluded her testimony, Mr. Wyatt directed that the prisoners should be netiotrad, area called in separately to account for the pas sention of the umlaut, and explain the mystery of their con versation. The precautions, as may be seen by the sequel, was by no means unnecessary; and the first person examined was the pri soner Mary French, who said that the child was her own, and Was two years and three months old. The husband was next called, and he stated that he had been married in Buckinghamshire two years last August, by Dr. Good, and had live children. Mr. WYATT—This , is very extraordinery ; you Fay 'that you have been only two years and i half merited, and yet ).oti add that you have had five children. French (after some hesitation)—That was my first wife ; I was married to my present, who is outside, four years last August, in Dublin. That little child there is my niece, and was born in Dublin two yelps and three months ago ; my sisteein-law is its mother. IV hen her husband ran away on my coming from Irelantt the Stith of August last, I took both of them under my care. I never said that the child hail been kidnapped. This prisoner was ordered to withdraw, and the female, Cathe rine Stephens, was tidied in anti examined.—She said that her hut. hand was a Smith, and lived in New-xtreet, Dublin. Ile ran away' from her about 111 years since, and his name was Arthur Ward. She had borne no children since his desertion, but bud reared the present baby since it was three days old. It was left at a chapel door at the rear of Ncwgate, in Green-street, Dublin. She bad it christened in Francis-street chapel, and gave it the name of Kitty `Stephens.
