MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—Yarn may.
Boma Iti. Ricanharr ADAMS. daszruirr Aux.&

The November general sessions commenced yesterday
morning at Clerkenwell. There were 67 cases of felony,
and 4 of misdemeanour, for trial. Thirty-seven of the pet-
sonen were described es competent to read and write imper-
fectly, 16 could reed only, 14 could neither read nor write,
and S were able to reit2 and write well.
The learned assistant judge delivered the usual charge to
the grand Puy, after then ,-. ad been sworn, and, in condo-
am, having given them jeam actions r to the most expe-
ditions manner in which they cOulil discharge their duties,
remarked, that the difference beta een the oast of prosecu-
tions for felony at this court, and •t the Central Criminal
Court, was a matter worthy of some co.nciderntion. Taking
the ordinary cues of feloay, say pock:l-ph:kiss for us-
stare*, each can tried in this court east the county upon
the average twenty-three &Mining, whilst itaeh of that class
of eases tried at the Central Criminal Coati cost four
guineas and a halL That was the actual asst to the
county purse ; but even that was not so serious, as the
wide differesos between the time lost by the witAesese
at the respective courts. At this court the witneerue
were only kept in attendance one day, the male prisoners
being tried one day, and the females the next, whilst at the
Central Criminal Court the witnesses@ usually were kept
waiting a week. He did not allude to the more serious and
heavy prosecutions at the Central Curt, which necessarily
entailed great expense, but he wes speaking of the more
trifling eves, such as were tried in thi. court ; and, taking the
yearly average of the caws tried in this court, there was an
absolute saving to the county of 8,0001. a year, as compared
with the post of the same number of cases tried at the Central
Criminal Court. This was the proper tribunal before which
such cues should be sent, but for some reason unintelligible
to him the majority of them were mutt* the Central Criminal
Court. The greed jury then retired.

A FILINDOCIOUS CRIMINAL.
Edward TaghiU, a boy who was convicted at the last ses-
sion of a felony, and whose singular history, having been
convicted 14 dates, though not 11 years of age, wee reported
at Outline, was brought up for judgment.
The learned judge said he was now prepared to sentence
the prisoner to transportation. He did not generally say
anything in relation to any particular case, but in this, as
well as in others of the SAM description, he supposed the
Prison Inspectors would use their own diaretion and dispose
of this boy as they thought ,proper. However, he should
take care that they had a @postal report upon this ease, for it
was not an ordinary one. The sentence was that the prisoner
be transported for the tomtit seven years.

PROORCUTION OP CLUED/ABE BY TRIM PARENTS.
John Kidlord, a poor-looking boy with a crutch, pleaded
guilty of having stolen a pair of trousers, value 4s. 6d., the
property of his father
The learned judge, having put some questions to the father,
remarked that this wee a case that strikingly illustrated the
great necessity that existed for some law by which parents
might be compelled to contribute towards the maintenance
of such of their children that became criminals. The
father of the boy was a muter tailm in a good way of busi
net, and though the prisoner had turned out a vicious
lad, the father was as competent to support him, as though
he were a good one; but this prosecution and conviction
relieved the la her from every ruponability in respect of the
primmer fir the future.
Mr. Buchanan, one of the magic rate on the bench, said
he did most sincerity hope and trust that in the next sesaion
of parliament cane such measure, the necessity foe which
so frequently exhibited Waif in that court, and was just
pointed out by the learned judge, would be passed, so that
parents who could do so, might be compelled to support
their e ildren when they beams Wastes of a prison. There
would then be a real inducement for parents to keep their
children out of ulnae.

The learned judge was sorry to say that be considered his
(Astrid was rather too sasguilie upon the subject. It was a
matter of too much good reuse and reason to be brought for-
ward and carried through our parliament so rapidly as Mr.
Buchanan wished. Were it some trilling and unimpirtant
question, that could lead to no grist good as far as the public
were caacerned, and which was never heard of or cared tor
by anybody until it was first mooted, it might be hoped with
some reason that it wound be promptly carried. But this
was a matter of tne very hieheat importance, and calculated,
if carried out, to produce the greatest advantages to all, but
towards none more than these poor n glected and miserable
juvenile thieves. It might be law when the present genera-
tion were great granillathvm
The fatter said he would gladly give half a crown a week
towarla the lad's inaiatenance.
_ _

Mr. Buchanan—You should have fl egged him instead of
sending Lim to prison—that would have saved him.
The lather said he had flagged him, but it was of no avail.
The boy could work very well at his trade, if he chose, but
he would not. He would go out, and, though he was
a cripple, he made home a hall upon earth. He had
robbed him tunes out of number. The prisoner's mother
was dead, but he had a stepmother. She had two children
of her own. _ _

The learned Judge said that was the secret. It was in-
conceivable what an amount of misery, wretchedness, end
oftentimes crime, ',rood marriages in the lower orders of
!misty produced. No clout.- the boy's absence would not be
di.agreesble to the 'hewers at home. He had that morning
been reading Charles Dickens' " David Copperfilld," and
this case appeared to be that of "David " and " Mr. Mord-
stone," all ever. As the father had instituted the proeceu.
Lion, the court had no alternative but to punish the pri-
Knew, and the case must be treated in the ordinary
manner. _ _

The prisoner was then sentenced to three months' hard
labour.

GUT FAISILIM IN THE BART.—Numerous night charges,
arising out of the celebration of the Guy Fawkes anniver
sary, were heard at this court yesterday. It seems that the
inhabitants of Trii.ityitquare subscribed to abcut the
'mutat of 601. for letting off magnificent fireworks in the
enclosure, which bLeotniug gen, tally knows, an immense
and densely packed multi,ude congregated on Tower-hill,
where Mr. Suparintendaa Btedinan, with Inspectors Barris
and Millar, and a large body of the II division of police
attended. The display of fireworks commenced soon after
dark, and notwithstanding the immense crowd and the
high excitement, all went on with some degree of
order. About It o'clock some persons in the crowd
who wre well stocked with combastible materials

began to throw squibe at people who were letting off fire-
works from the balemny of the Old George Tower-hill. The
fire was immediately returned, and, proessenag from one
ignited Leslie to the other, anmen candles of a more than
usual size wee intsrehanycl. Dant-roam explosiors were
taking place in every direction, and several persons had por-
tions of their dresses burned. One Roman candle, fonder,
its way through a square of glass at the Old George, set fire
to the curtains, which, biasing up rapidly, excited the utmost
Semen. Two brigade and one parish engine were quickly
in attendees', but the people of the house aided
by the police succeeded in subduing the fire. As the brigade
engines were moving off, Mr. John Clark, • grocer
reading at 3, Carolin..-strevt, Camden-town, threw a squib
at one of the hens., which, being • high spirited anisn.l,
was restrained with no little difficulty ; had it started off
