CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT,

OLD COURT.
(Balm the Useankt.)

1 Joseph Frederick Mason, 42, was charged with fain-
piously unbending various sums of money, the property of
his employers, Keens. Jeffrey and CO.
Mr. Kemp promoted ; Mr. F. H. Lewis wee counsel for
the defence.
The prosecutors carry on business in Jewia•creacent, and
they are agouti for Mews. Bassett and Co., wholesale eon•
fectioners, of Sheffield. It wee clearly proved that W pri7
'sonar, who wee a clerk and collector in their service, had
received various sums of money which he had not accounted
for, and the total amount of his defalcations was stated to be
nearly 3001.
' The pr sorer was found Guilty, and sentenced t 3 be im-
prisoned and kept to bard labour for eighteen months.
In referent's to the case of William Rutland, who was
stated in our report yesterday to have been found not
minty epee a charge of indecent assault, it appears that this
was not correct. The prisoner was found guilty and sen-
tenced to twelve months' hard labour. The mistake arose
from the fact of two juries, both of whom had retired to
&Wheats, coining into court almost at the woe moment,
and one of them giving a verdict of not guilty, the ow to
which that verdict referred being confounded with that of
the prisoner Rutland.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Common Serjeset).

This morning the trial of Thomas W'ullonu was remind
and lasted the principal. pert of the day. The evidence was
• continuation of examination of winnings for the defence,
and in some parts it went to @how that some of the article'
found could not have belonged to the ppresonator. It was
purely a scientific question of the manoLaetare of the goods,
sad, in some instances, it was clearly proved that a por-
tion of those found had been made upon the prioner's own
premises.
The evidence for the defence having closed,
_Yr. Metcalfe mde.s reply upon the whole of the case.
The Common Serpent than summed up, going most
minutely through the evidence.
The Jury, after • very brief deliberation, returned a ver-
dict of Guilty.

The primmer most earnestly protested that he was en
innocent man, and said that he woald not have bought
the things heel he known them not only to have been
melee, but alas bad be had the slightest idea that they bad
been in any way dialronourably come by.
The Comm. Serjeant then sentenced the prisoner to
seven years' penal servitude.
FOURTH COURT.
_ (Before Mr. datriatiskearKerr.)

Jaapes Martin, 61, mershaat, was iadioted for stealing
196 yards of alpaca, Talus 621. 145., the property of Edward

—Yr. Kemp prosecuted ; and Mr. P. H. Lewis defended
the prisoner.
It appeared from the avian°, that Yr. Willie wee •
'metal haviag offiom at No. 31, Aldersgate•treet,
sad had been for some time acquainted with the prieoner.
.1a December bat the prosecutor wen conined at home by
dhows, and by his sanction the priapissr was in the habit of
going to the prosecutor's of for the letters and
ether ooneeponkoce. In the cum of Waimea a
parcel was sent up to the prosecutor% address, ea
agent for • home is Paris, from Maus. Broad-
buts, woollen manufacturers, at Halifax, in Toeholds*.
The parcel was swat up to the canter's oilers on the 11th
of December, sad some few days afterwards prosecutor
celled there to oemplain that =mealier ponds had teen
detained, sad they they said that • wed of goods had
bete sent to his aim only a few dais previously, sad that
they had been signed for by • prase of the WOO of Lee.
Ins promoter did not epic see the primmer until a very
short Woe we.., when he we him fate enetody, having
learned that it was he who tied disposed of the goods. It
appeared that the primmer bad applied to Mr. Hammy Weer,
of -Gutter-leae, who had rosowirmeded him to a Kr. Aston,
who had oucluded the purchase of the goods for 364. 10s.,
which had beau invoiced to the prone:dor at 621.145.
The prisoner having bees found Guilty,

Mark Bull, a!rity detective, rid that the prisoner had
bleu mixed ap is a number el balletishog Wismar:theca, and
was in fact use of a pug et regular swindlers.
Be was slatesced to four yaws' penal servitude.
Tins Cesuntwioner then addrsesad the prosecutor, and

said Jim would make as ceder for the deliverj ot the pro-
perty be him, whit& although not resoverable, yet the order
might be d service to him IA any civil proems Ise might in-
stigate spite* Mr. Aston.
TM pronoutor, who seemed in a very bad state of health,
mid, with Mass la his eyes, "My lad, I am quite ruined ;
this event Ni Met me all my customers." .

Marks Crawford, 29, sailor, was indicted on three sepa-
rate charges of feloniously forging orders for the payment
of money.
It apprized that the prieoner had obtained the sums of
SL, 31:10a, and 5/. on fictitious documeuts, purporting to
I be 1111111201 ell advance notes.

la reply to the teamed Commissioner, Mr. Diarist, who was
for the prossentke, said he was not prepared to prove that
the signstares attached to the document. in question were
[organs..
The Commis

rid he regretted that under the cir-
__underarm the seas must fall to the ground, as the jury
could not convict a man of forgery when he should have
been indicted for obtaining money under false pretences.
A verdict of Not Gutlty was then taken, and the prisoner
discharged.
This coecluded the business. Monday, May U, is the
day Axed for the oommencensent of the next rues.
