[From the Brighton Herald.] The professional gentleman, alluded to in our last Herald as having applied to our Bench relative to the detention, by a bank tog farm of this town, or ten bills of exchange belonging to him, is 2r.

MT. Tamplin, who was present, candidly acknowledged •tnitt the opinion of Counsel was against them, and that his part .OM, and even his solicitors, were in favour of the bills being given . ap; but that he, Mr. T. who had only that morning interfered in the affair, could not being his mind to do so, being apprehensive shot it would be an act of bankrertcy, which he was most anxious ;seavoid committing. fie held in his hand nine of the bills in . question ; the other had been alertly sent to London to be present , Ati fur payment, it having come due on Thursday ; sod as he un .derwood Mr. Ptenneu had advised the acceptor, Mr. Camp. not to • honour the bill, It would probably he returned to them by the next rest.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, 84.Taanar, JAI. 14. GIANT D. BOLLARD MID °TWINS. This was an action by the Clerk of the Comniiiisioners foe Paving and Lighting the parish of St. Pancras, to recover a .ram of Sea lie., money had and received by the aesignres of Messrs. Marsh ad Co. The ATTORWIIT-Gr.SXR•L and Mr. TINDAL tOMILICIA3 the plaintiff's case; and Mr. SCALLETT and Mr. CUITTY ths de fendants. By a local Aet for paving and lighting the perish of St. Pancras, the Commissioners therein named appointed the plaintiff their clerk, and the late Henry Fauntleroy their treasurer. In the latter character Mr. Fauntletoy received the money in question, which he had never paid over before the bankruptcy of himself and part ners. By a clause in the local Act, the Commissioners are em powered, notwithstanding the bankruptcy or desth of their treasnrer, to recover money of choirs in his hands at the time of his bank ' raptly of death. as against assignees or executors respectively, in preference to all other creditora. Several objections arose is the cause, first as to the plaintiff's appointment as clerk to the Commissioners; and, second, as to Mr. Fauntleroy's appointment as treasurer : and it being cog- Rested to the Court that these, or nearly similar points remained sub judice in two other cases, he acceded to the proposition that the frets in this should also be turned into a special case. A verdict for 3051. was therefore taken, subject to a use. Butt. v. DE MEILHEIM. Thia was an action by the endorser against the acceptor of a bill of exchange for-4751.. dated Slat of Member, 1924, drawn by 31easrs. li aydon and Planehe, to the order of &lir. Robson, payable three months after date. _ . The plaintiff was an attorney, ,;and received the bill in question from Mr. Robson, on account for professional buainess. The hand writing of the several parties were proved. Mr. GURNEY, for the defendant, endeavoured to show that the bill in question had been accepted by the oefendant, in Mr. Robson's favour, for some time.bargains at the Sto:k Exchange • but the ph:intiff being an innocent endorsee, and without notice, the Jury found a verdict in his favour. Damages, 593 J. antnaTzix V. TOSS AND ANOTHER. . . . . . This was an action for an alleged libel, In publi.hing the plain tiff's name in a list published by the Society fur the Protection of Trade. The case was appointed to be tried by a Special J nry, but upon calling the else on, only one special juryman attended and as neither party chose to pray a talea, the case was struck out of the paper. DOC. dens. ID:LIMEY v. WILFORD. This was an ejectment for twenty acres of land and some pre. mists situate In Chelsea. The lessor of the plaintiff claimed the property in question, as heir-at-law of the late Ueneral Wilford. The defendant was the General's widow, to whom, by hie will, made a few years before his death, he gave all his real and personal property, the latter amounting to about seventy thousand pounds. The proprty which was the subject or this action had been pur chased, from time to time, in small portion, after the will was ex ecuted; and the Ueneral had levied a tine thereof to the use of his will. It was contended, on the part of the plaintiff', that the effect of this tine was to render the testator's will null and void as to the devise of his freehold estate, and therefore he brought this eject ment. The question between the parties, and upon which the whole ease turned, was, whether the fine operated, or was intended by the testator to operate upon the whole of his real estate, or only upon those small portions which he had added after the making of his will. _ _ . A wrest deal of contrary evidence was produced on etch side, and atter a considerable portion of the day had been occupied— The LORD CittEr JeSTICE left it as a question of tact for the Jury to say, whether, upon the evidence adduced, the fine was in tended to apply to the whole of the testator's real estate, or only to the part purchased after the date of the will. It they thought it applied to the whole they ought to find for the plaintiff ; but if otherwise they ought to find for the defendant. The Jury found for the defendant. The Court rose at three o'clock, the causes appointed in theday's list having teen disposed of. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, SATCHDAY, Jew. 16.

She did not lee him again until he was in custody. (The prisoner here became so unwell that he was obliged to be carried out of Coon. On his return he requested to be accommo dated with a chair, which the Learned Judge consented to. The trial then proceeded.] George Sams, of Little Qtoten-street, an ergraver, proved that the prisoner came to him and gave hint an order to print u promis sory note of the Bath and Bristol bank, and gave hint a copy of it. He ordered SOU impressions to be struck oft: He called again in few days, when the Impressions were delivered to hint, but witness kept the plate himself. The plate and notes were then produced and identified by the witness. Frederick Stockman was then called, but previous to his exami nation he applied for his expenses. whet. the Learned Judge said he could not make such an application before he gave his testimony.

Mr. ArtOntatca addressed the linnet at ennuiderable lOWA, and contended, is there were no such persons in waistcoat aa times ' aDeadened In the notes, that there had been no forgery essultted. THE BRITISH PRESS. The LORD CHIMP BARON said there could be no doubt but that it was a fingery ; and Mr. Jamie, PAR k gave the same opinion. There were no witnesses called for the defence. The Loan CHIEF BARON then ktimmed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict or Guilty. The prisoner appeared dreatltugy agitated when the verdict was returned. The prisoner was subsequently found Guilty on a second indict ment for a similar offence. IN BAR OF EXECUTION. Mary Ctin, the wretched wohian who was tried on Friday and convicted of the murder of Maurice Fitztzerald, and who was or 'teed ft execution on Monday (this day), having pleaded in bar of execution that she was quick with child, was, during the preceding trial, led into the dock by the officers of the Court. She appeared in &dreadful state of agitation, and trembled exces sively. A Jury of Matrons were then sworn by Mr. Shelton, the Clerk of the Arraigns, sod they were ordered by Mr. Justice Park to retie with the prisoner, to ascertain if her pies was correct • and after being absent about ten minutes, the forewoman declared it to ' be the sense of the Jury that she was not at all in a pregnant state, and consequently the law will take its course. The wretched woman was then carried trot the bar by the offi cers of justice. Aralt.on Paris, aged 28. was indicted for being et large in this kingdom, he having been conyteted at the September Sessions. in 1819, of stealing trom the person of W. T. Parry a silver watch, seals, &c., value al., and fur which offence be was senttuced to be transported for life. The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty, and said that his name was not Davis, but Henry Williams. J. Bishop, formerly one of the principal turnkeys of Nevrgate. proved that the prisoner was the person convicted; and his evidence was confirmed by two of the Bow.street °Mom The prisoner declined saying any thing further in his defence, but called two of the turnkeys of Neirgate to prove that he was not the person convicted ; but they both stated that they were stationed in a different part of the prison from that in which the prisoner was confined, and that they had not the slightest knowledge of hint. Alr. Justice PARE summed-up, and the Jury returned a verdict of Gilike. George Ansel Lowe, aged 31, watindicred fur embezzling 801.8 a. received by him on account of' Richard 'alp and Co. his em. ployers. Ile was also indicted for embezzling the sum of 121. 125., and 11. 75., received by him on the same account. On his being placed at the bar the prisoner pleaded Guilty to all three indictments, on which the Recorder addressed him, and asked whether he had duly considered the consequences of the plea he had just made. It was probable thst some persona bad advised him to plead guilty since he had been in prison ; he wished him to understand that such a plea would be of no advantage to him. If he were put on his trial, it was possible that sonic allevisting cir cumstances might be adduced in evidence; and therefore, as a friend, he would advise him to withdraw his plea, and plead not guilty. The prisoner bowed respectfully to the Court and said, " I thank your Lordship for your kind admonition ; but, with all due defer. cute to the Court, I do not feel disposed to withdraw my plea of guilty." lie was then removed from the bar. ..... Jaw: Iloward, aged 47, was convicted of stealing 141bs. of solder. the property of Hannah Winter, his mistress, and sen. lanced to one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction. George William Kerrido was charged with forging and uttering as true a NW and counterfeit receipt for the payment of (411.&i. 4d. with intent to defraud Abel Jenkins, and another, his partner. 2d.

With embezzling bank -notes, value 12W., received by him on account of his em ployers, Abel Jenkins and C. T. Abbott. By the advice of his Counsel, the prisoder pleaded Guilty to the minor charges. and was removed ftotu the bar to await his =tenet, at the termination of the Sessions. John .11y, Iszed 32, a fishmonger, as indicted for selliAg sixty ccunierfeit shillings to W. Connell, for a lees value than their do nominative import, viz. for IQ,. W. Connell stated that he lives in Blackmoor-street, Clare market; in cmsequence of information, W. Connell and W. Pat. tenon were employed by Linihrick, the ME •er, to deal with the prisoner for the lirng.t, As they are called in slang. Rut their evidence., especially the former, having failed, the pri. soner was acquitted. NEW COURT. Francis Rainson, aged %, a simple-lnnking countryman. was indicted for feloniously intermarrying with Jane Calmat, his wife, formerly Mary Diek, widow, being at that time living. The case occupied• the Court but a short time, being the last that was tried. John Burnley, the parish clerk of Christ Church, Newgate street, produced the registry of marriage, by which it appeared that the prisoner was married b► bans to the widow Dick, on the 15th July. 1822. H. W. Facey, the parish clerk of St. Luke's, Old.atreet, also produced a similar registry. by an entry of which it appeare 1 that. in the month of Octcber, 1823, the prisoner was married to Jane Caleratt. An old man of the name of Olibbon proved that he acted as " father" on the occasion of the first marriage with widow Dick ; but he hoped the Court would have mercy on the prisoner, as he (wanes%) thought, between one and t'other, he did not know what he was about. (A laugh.) Jane Calcraft, the second wife, said she married the prisoner about two years and a quarter ago. She preferred no complaint. The Coststoe SERGEANT wished to know whether the lint wife was in Court ? _ . . The answer wan in the affirmative; but she, it appeared, had no complaint to make. The Com aroN SERGEANT then said, there was sontething a little extraordinary about the case, and he should like to know who preferred the charge. Thomas Glossop, an officer, stated that he apprehended the pri. goner. The warte,t was contained at the instance of the first wife, or rather through her application tor parish relief, he having de. netted her and her infant, and left them destitute. The prisoner made a long defence, which hedelivered with great simplicity. tie mid he would not deny the charge, but he sepa. rated from his first wife because she got tipsy and used him ill, but It was by mutual consent, for she said she wanted no more to do with him. As she was gone, he wanted to take up with another woman. so be got the other wife, not thinking that his firm would ever come again. When he lived first with his second wife be did not wish to scandalise her, so he married her, ■nd as noon-as be had done so, the other woman used to come tipsy and abuse them, and out of sheer spite went to the parish. " That," said the prisoner, " is the whole truth of the story, gentlemen." The (lummox SERGEANT told the Jury that there might be, and he thought there were circumstances of extenuation connected with the case ; but they had only to look at the tact, which he thought had been proved beyond a doubt. £he Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. MIDDLES r.,T SESSIONS, SATURIMIS JAN. 14. DREADFUL INJURY, Daniel Bird, a boy about -twelve years old, stood indicted for assaulting Daniel Keith, a boy about the same age. The prosecutor, the upper part of whose face was covered with a bandage, stated, that on the 22d of December he was playing in a court in St. Giles's, when the prisoner came up to him, and crying " Holt," fired a small cannon, which he had fixed on a stick, in his face, and the shot passing into his eye, literally knocked it out, and it fell on the pavement near where he was standing.—[An in. voluntary shudder pervaded the Court while this statement was being inade.l James White also witnessed the outrage, of which he gave a similar account. To the beat of witness's belief the cannon wan a brass one. The prisoner ran away, abd when taken into custody had nut the cannon about him. The prisoner. in his defence, said the affair was s complete acci. dent, and for which he was extremely sorry. The cannon spoken of was a mere piece of hollow bone, in whioti he had bored a touch. hole, and was amusing himself with firing it ofi . when it unfonu timely burst, and a pies of the bone striking the complainant in the eye caused the injury now complained of. The CHAIRMAN asked hint if he had any witnesses to confirm hkstatement ? _ . The prisoner Raid he had, but they were not in Court. The CHAIRSIAN, in stunming up, paid, that if the statement made by thet prisoner wan true, the affsir, however lamentable, amounted only to an accident ; but then it was to be remembered 1! at one of the witnesses bad expresed his belief that the cannon was a brans one. They would, perhaps. find the prisoner guilty, and he would respite the judgment till al ontlay, to afford hint time to produce the witnesses he spoke of. Verdict—Guilty. Sentence reapited accordingly. Ater Johnson Hamilton wan charged with haring uttered two base and counterettit shillings on the 30th of December, at the Hunter's Arma public-house, in C ompto n stree t . . , _ . The prisoner tendered the false coin in payment for some rum and water at the house in question, and it appeared that the prisoner on being searched, situ he was taken into custody, had no less than seven counterfeit shillings in his possession. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the Court sentenced him to be imprisoned for one year, and at the end of that term to find sureties flit his good behaviour for two years. John Batlent was indicted for having in his possession a great quantity of cournerft it coin, with intent to utter the came. The cave was clearly proved against the prisoner, and the Jury found him Guilty. Lite Court sentenced him to one year's Im. prisonment.

James Smith, the man who wu induced. at the . of the Court, to plead not guilty to an indictment to which he had at first pleaded guilty, was this day tried and convicted. Anse Laurance, an interesting young woman, was indicted fur having stolen a scent box, a crystal seal, some candles. knives and. forks, and jelly, with other articles, the property of her master, Mr. Ai.:lcrinn. The whole of the property was identified by Mrs. Anderson, who said she had lust the two first articles sate months before the prisoner quitted her service. It appeared, that since the prisoner had gone away, she had married, and was living with her husband when she was apprehended. The property WAS then found in her possession. In her defence the prisoner made a statement, which was denied by the person to whom it referred. She alleged that she had gone to see a young woman, formerly her fellow servant, and now in the service of Mr. Anderson, and that that yout.g woman had given her the knives, &c., but that she had found the snuff-box in the garden. and in her hurry, in leaving her master's house, which she quitted in consequence of a misunderstanding, she had taken it away with her clothes, but that she should have returned it if she had any one to send it by. It was stated that 'some ladies and gentlemen, who had been three days in attendance to give -.the pehoner a character, had now quitted the Court in the belief that the trial would not come on. The prisoner was at once found Guilty. Mr. Ilennea„ Who acted as the Chairman in the temporary ab sence of Mr. Scriven, said it was the painful duty of the Magis trates. at every Sessions, to sentence persons more or less ly for this offence, according to the circumstances attending its cant mission. It was the duty of the Magistrates to protect masters against the depredations of their servants, and the sentence of the Court therefore was, that the prisoner should be transported for seven years. The prisoner, on hearing the sentence, made a pathetic appeal he Mrs. Anderson, and was then taken front the bar to hysterics. recommends' POLICE. BOW-STREET. A person of gentlemanly exterior, who stated himself to he a Barrister residing in one of the Inns of Court, appeared at this Office on Saturday, to take the benefit of a consultation with the sitting Magistrate, G. It. Minshull, Esq. on the following singular and unpleasant case. Friday morning the two-penny postman rapped at his door and delivered an epistle, which. though brief, was terribly pat to the purpose, in consequence of the awkward h.uendo which it contained. It ran to the following effect : " sit--1 am very near my confinement—and as you are the father t • the child, I therefore wish to see you. An early visit will much oblige, " Yours, ANN DAVENPORT." Never was any man more astonished than the Counsellor who had just paid two-pence for this precious brief He read it over and over again, but could make nothing of it. Who on earth could Miss (or rather Mrs.—for her situation proclaimed her a matron— ) Davenport be ? Wu it not a hoax altogether? This latter point was the first to be determined —so,, immediately calling in the assistance of a friend, away the pair sallied to the address given at the bottom of the note, where sure enough they discovereo a bouncing damsel, who not only avowed serving the notice, but persisted in " pleading a justification"—inasmuch as that he the aforesaid gentleman, whose name she pronounced glibly enough, was decidedly the papa in posse. She stood a cross-examination, which was immediately entered into by the " Amiens Curia," well, and on being asked which of the two then present was the happy man, instantly hit upon the right, thus foiling the attempt to catch her in a quid pro quo. The Learned Gentleman, however, still positively pleaded not guilty, and thereupon issue was joined. After a considerable time spent in arguing upon the case, the friends withdrew without making any progress in the business, and Mr. S. the one on whom the attempt was thus nefariously made "to graft the scion of a foreign stock, ' now applied to know whe ther a warrant could be issued against the party for an attempt to extort money. He again solemnly declared lie had never seen Miss Davenport before, but said that a ci•clevant clerk of his had been notorious for his amorous propensities, and ought probably enough have been the real offender against Logos mores. His Worship, however, observed, that as not a word aru said in the note about money, it was quite out of hie power to in. terfere, and the learned gentleman was obliged to submit to a non. suit. tiATII)N.GARDENT. JOB NS ON AND 1111 it ICANS.Zon Saturday this office was crowded by publicans, summoned by the well-known and in. defatigable Johnson ; who, whatever be his motives, is doing more towards effecting an observance of good order than the united ef forts of the police and parochial authorities could ever accomplish. The following is a pretty fair sample of his abilities in that way ; it will be seen that he considers the five of " example to be more prevalent than precept" : John Anderson, landlord of the Lamb public-house in Lamb's Conduit.street, for allowingcards and dominoes to he played in his house by workiug tradesmen, was filed 40s. and the costs 3s. 6d. William Paine, of the Pitt's Ilesd, corner of Ohl -street, St. Luke's, for non-observance of the Sabbath, fined 20s. and as. tid. COMM. George Cloy, of the Six Cans and Punchbowl. High 11°1- born, for keeping open until a later hour at night than is allowed, and failing in an attempt to invalidate the evidence of Johnson's well-drilled witness, was fined GO& and costs. I'. J. Magee, of the Griffin, in Eagle-street, fur the like irregu larity, fined 20s. and the coats. Anne Ct ouch, of the Bricklayers' Arms, Kingsgate-street, non observance of the Sabbath, tined 20s. and costs. Samuel Sowerhy, of the Black Bull, Gray's Inn-lane, for irre gular hours, fined 20s. and costs. Thomas Meadows, or the Skinners' Arms, Crompton-street, for the like offence, fined 20s. and costs. . . Edward llorlock, of the Red Lion, Laystall-street, was charged with keeping open his house after 12 o'clock, as the summons ex pressed it, on the night of Monday, the 9th inst. whereas it should have been set forth as on the morning of Tuesday, the 10th. Johnson's witnesses swore to haying bought gin from the land lady at the bar after 12 o'clock. the defendant pleaded not guilty, and called two young women. his servants, who swore in the most unequivocal manner that the house was shut up before that hour. . . . . Mr. Latwo, the presiding Magistrate, said he had no hesitation in saying that both these witnesses had been suborned by their master, and had shamefully perjured themselves. However, he would not discharge the complaint without the production of the landlady herself. Mrs. Horlock was then sent for, and admitted having served gin to the witness, but at a mirth earlier hour than he had sworn to. _ . . Mr. LAING said he was still of opinion that the servant girls had sworn falsely ; but owing to an informality in the wording of the information, the defendant escaped the penalty which would other. wise most- certainly have been inflicted. At the suite time he (11r. Laing) would take care that the house should be closely looked atter. LAMBETH-STREET. NECIOTIATIOX WITH THIEVES.—A few days since a young female named. Eliza Shunter, the daughter of the proprietor of the City of Norwich public-house, AVentworth.street, W bite chapel, was brought before the sitting Magistrates of this office, charged with having feloniously entered into a negotiation with thieves for the restoration, for a specific sum of money, of certain proderty which had been stolen from Mr. John Kiernan, a travelling dealer in Irish linens. The particular Aci of Parliament, the penalties of which she came under, and which for sonic time past had nearly fallen into • abeyance" owing to the ingenuity with which these negotiators (principally Jews) exercise their trade, is that generally termed •• Jonathan Wild's," and was the precise one under which that notorious character was tried, cony teted, and executed, and which makes the twgotiatinn a capital offence. On the apprehension of Shunter, and her being brought to the office, the statute, contain. ing a clause empowering the Magistrates to exempt the negobiator from its full penal operation, on the production and prosecution of the real offenders, Shunter was allowed the bedefits of its immu nities on its implied conditions, and remanded for a few days to enable her to give such information, and make such arrangements, as iiould lead to the apprehension of the persona really implicated. She strictly complied with the adpulations, anti in consequence two females, named Mary Peachy, and Mary Chester, were taken into custody by Lee the officer, and on Saturday placed at the bar, charged with being the persons who robbed Mr. Kierman of seven damask table cloths, and a quantity of black silk. The following was the evidence given in support of the charge: Mr. John Kiernan examined—l reside at the Swan Inn, Maid. stone. , On Monday night, between the hours of six and seven, I was in l A'hiteshwel, where I met the prisoner Peachy. I asked her which was the way to Aldgate ? and she replied that I was not then there, but in Whitechapel. At her request I accompanied her to a house ofr an entry in Wentworth-street. When we got there she asked me to treat her, and I gave her lid. for that purpose. She then sent the other prisoner, Chester, out for snore gin, of which we all drank. She wanted me to pass the night with her. but 1 refused, being a married man. On this she called in the other prisoner, and said, that if I did not like her ( Peachy) I could sleep with Miss Chester. This I also declined octinplying with, on which she blew out the candle, and hustled me on the bed. They both then ran out, and on my recovery I found that my parcels were gone. They contained eight damask table-cloths, Sind a num ber of yards of black silk, all of which were worth above V. On discovering my loss I shouted out murder and robbery, and ran out of the horse. There were a number of persons swat:Jig outside, at a public house, who all laughed at me. Mr WyATT..—%% here was this public-house ? Witness—Next the entry. Mr. WYATT—Were you drunk at the time 1_ .

On Saturday Arthur French, Mar' his wife, and Catharine Stephens, were brought up on Saturday for Baal examine:ion a: Lambeth-street police-office, on a charge of having in their posse ! . sion a female Infant, supposed to have been stolen. The sdditiont facts elicited were as follow :—Goodwin, the officer who took tl prisoners into custody, informed the Magistrate that since the ft: met day's proceedings he called at the house of Mrs. Peek, In 01, Pye-street, iVestmidhter, their former landlady, who, in answer to some inquiries, told him Usat the prisoners had resided in het house for nearly five months, rnd during that petted they all r.. presented the infant as being the illegitimate child of the male po. Donee:. A t thin French. French here requested that the Magistrates (Sir Daniel Williams and Mr. Wyatt) would listen to his statement. which he thought would explain every matter, and fully and satisfactorily amount for their possession of the baby. They having complied with his request. he commenced by a general recantation of h:s declarations OD the first investigation, and admitted that whatever he and h wife had then said with regard to the child's consanguini to them was unfounded in truth, and altogether tannins The real facts were those related by his siater-in.lsw Kitty Ste phens, on whose statement alone any dependence was to be placel. She had found the infant, as she described, en the steps of Ar• street Chapel, at the rear f Newgate- Dublin. She took it and curried it to the clerk of the Chapel; but neither he nor Roman Catholic clergyman of the parish would do anything its relief; and she was told by them that she must necessarily sap port it herself; having no other alternative she took it home with her, and subeequently had it baptised by the Rev. Mr. Kendricke. at Francis-street Chapel : since that period, with 1 is sr...latent, she had aupported it, and was as much attached to. at d as fond of as if it was her own. He concluded by saying that he thought a great severity that he and the other prisoners should be rml coned and punished for their humanity towards a foundling wl had been deserted by those parents upon whose protection it had t claims of nature and affection. If necessary, he wmild procure certificate of its baptism from the Clereytitan whom he had before. mentioned t and show, by testimonials to character from ger. l men as well in Dublin as in Liverpool, that he was incapable the crime of kidnapping. Mr. Wir•TT., who happened to know the localities of Dublin, and its charitable institutions, observed that that part or his re ment which alleged that nothing would be done for the chid, unfounded, as there was a foundling hospital in that city, WA doubtless, under the circumstances, it would have beet; at once t matted and taken care ef. He then put some further questions French and the other prisoners, the replies to which were just contradictory as on the former evasion ' • in consequence of whi he observed that the opinion he originall y entertained, viz that child was stolen. was by no means moved, and that laving th impression on bin mind, .he would order it to remain at the work , house ttntil such time its its parents would !By claim to it, or furtlu and more satisfactory explanation be given. The prisoners most earnestly, particularly the female—wbetl I arising from guilt or affection—entreated its restoration ; but the.Ma gistra•es, very prudently in our opinion, were immovable, and gave directions that a communication should he made to the heed police office, Dublin, front which city the child is supposed to hays been stolen, and all the circumstances of the case detailed. The prisoners then were all discharged, there being no substan tire charge against them, but not however before a clue was made out by which, is the event of the parents being discovered.. Site pri soner, Arthur French, could be made amenable to justke, as a Chelsea pensioner. IVednesclay a fellow was charged with throwing from the gallery of the theatre, at Glasgow, on Monday night, a glass phial, which providentially did not strike any one ; but had done so, it was evident, from the hard heavy pieces o glass which we saw produced in Court, the life of the person might have been taken. Whether the miscreant had been induced to the pertain ance of this act by mere wantonness, or from a murderous mien- Lion, it was not easy to discover; he had thrown the bottle well for. ward, for it llghtcd on the stage, upon which there was at the time two performers. The ,lagistrate fined the prisoner, who had nt the appearance of a blackguard, in the sum of three guineas, lie t caused him to find security, under a bond of ten pounds, to keep the peace tor six r t ionths,Giaseor, Free Press. 1m rtrnENT ROBBLAY.—lnformation was received a . Hatton.gardenyolice, on Saturday, of a burglary and robbery. committed the previous night. under peculiariv daring circus-- stances. at the house of Mr. William Harris, 81, Charlotte-stree:. Fitzroy-square, linen-draper. At the usual hone on Friday night the shop was closed up, and the family, consisting 01 seven or eigh• pers.ms, soon afterwards retired to their respective apartments ir the upper part of the house, where they remained without Any disturbance during the 'night. On the following morning (Satut day), when the shop was opened, every thing sas found in a state of complete disorder; silks and linens were strewed about in al directions, and on stuck being taken it was found that the shop hat been ruble.] of laces, siks, ribands, and other articles to the vale of between 21J01. and 3011/. On goirg down to the kitchen, it discovered that the thieves had been comfortably regaling then selves with portei and tobacco, the remains of which Were still ly on the table by the fire. Iris supposed that. in the early part or the evening, one of the gang had found means to secrete himself in the house, and after the family retired to rest had let in his con federates. The street door being cautiously unbarred no disturbance was created, and thus far they felt themselves secure from intru sion: but that any set of fellows, bent on plunder, should delibe. rarely send out for porter, and sit quietly down to smoke their piper, is a stretch of presumption hitherto unprecedented, and almost sur passe, credibility ; yet such is the fact. The property stolen being of a finality easy to cornices, into small parcels, was of muse con veyed away so as to evade observation perhaps after the watch had gone off duty in the morning it was removed, most likely sot until then. l'he police are on the look-out fur the thieves.
