After the examination of two or throe witnesses,

NEW COURT.—YEIITERDAT.
Harm ran Common 811/1•311.
Puff ninon lionsinums.
John Clayton, a respectable looking man, pleaded guilty
to an indictment charging him with having stolen certain
monies, the property (4 the PostatesterGeseral.
Mr. Payne appeared for the prisoner.
Mr. Bodkin said, that although this was a ease of a most
serious natans, it was not the ordinary case of stealing let-
ters, and the cireumstances ware these—The prisoner was a
messenger in the Post-oldoe, and had, amongst otter duties,
to pack up the copper coin into five-shilling parcels. Hav-
ing upon several occasions mimed monies, some of the copper
given to him to pack was marked, and there being a small
ernemissed he wee taxed and searched, sad the marked
money found on him.
The Common Berjeant said that although the cue did
not call for the severe punishment that stealing a letter did,
still he was bound to protect such establishments, and sen-
tenced him to one year's imprisonment.
Warsaw Baugh, a letter sorter, was indicted for stealing
two letters, containing two half-crowns and eight postage
stamps, the property of the Postmaster-General.
Mr. Bodkin stated the case to the jury. The prisoner was
a otter sorter at the General Post-offlee, and on the 6th of
December, some suspicion being entertained, he was taken
into custody by Peake, the oiliest, and examined, and asked
where he lived. Having given his address, Peaks went and
searched his lodgings, and there, in the grate, found a quan-
tity of papers, and amongst them some fragments of two
lettere, which he pasted on to some blank paper and found
that they were two that had been posted at Fulham on the
24th of October, to go down to Lskenham, in Norfolk. The
letters in questEn had been sent by a Miss Grant to a white-
smith named Gooch, who, amongst other troths, was a cuter
of nativities, and the letters requested to know what the
writer's lot in life would be, and the monies contained in the
letters were the amounts charged by him.
Miss Grant having been called to prove the postage of the
letters, the man Gooch, the soothsayer, was called to prove
their non-receipt; and whether it was the dread of Mies
Grant meeting so important a personage, or his appearance,
as he is a huge, ugly, stupid looking old countryman, was
not ,xplained, but she hod no sioner pseud him than she
went into hysteric', and was carried out of the court scream-
ing violently.
e jury found the prisoner Guslty, end he was sentenced
*even years' transportation.

JUDICIAL COURTESY.
The first cue called on was that of a prisoner named
Putney, who wee indicted for obtaining en order for the
payment of 141. by false pretences. Gil of the officers of
the court informed the learned judge that • policeman whn
was • witness in the cue, was at the Central Criminal Court
in another cose.
The h arm. d Judge said that in all probability the case in
which the officer was concerned at the Central Criminal
Court would not be tried for some time. If the cue were
likely to be tried immediately, of course it would not be
proper for this court to require him to attend here 11,AR that
case were over ; but if it were so far down in the list as to
render it unlikely that it would come on for even a couple of
hours, the witness Could very conveniently attend at this
court, at.d give his evidence at once. He then directed an
officer to proceed to the Central Criminal Court, to ascertain
how the cue really stood, and to request, should it be un-
likely to come on directly, that the policeman might he
allowed to attend this court.
Sergeant Reason, the officer despatched with these in-
structions, esteemed and informed the court that upon finding
that the can in question was the last on the Common Su-
jeant's list, he applied to that learned gentleman to give the
policeman permission to leave. The answer he received
wee, " I don't are either for you or Sergeant Adams—the
man shall not go. I shall not delay eny court to facilitate
Sergeant Adams' ; and if he wishes to communicate with me
let him write, a,.1 I will answer him—l shall not pay atten.
ti,n to merages sent by officers You've got your answer,
sad p along, air."
The learned Judge said this certainly was a most uncour-
times message for one judge to send to another ; it was en
answer which he should certainly decline to fuel's privately.
The policeman in question had some documents of import-
ante as regarded this ease in his posse wines, end the cue
could not go on without him. To prevent any such unseemly
exhibitions for the future, he should reeks a positive order
that when • policemen had a cue at each of the court',
when b courts were 'Wing at one time, such policeman
should present himself at this court first, and then it should
be so arranged that neither court should be inconvenienced
—that there should be no failure ot justice, nor waste of
public time and money, he should not make any further ob-
servation upon the message that bad been Dent to him.
Mr. W. Cooper, who defended the prisoner, said that un-
der these circumstances, he would content to parol evidence
of the documents in the custody of the "Seer being given.
Tne court acquiesced, and the case was proceeded with. '
The prisoner was an agent, end bad obtained the cheque by
representing, Wetly it was alleged, that be had a load of
timber for sale. It was elicited by the learned counsel that
be was acting wi'h a peon who really had some timber for
disposal, and the Jury returned a verdict of " Not
Guilty "

BAILIFF'.
This long-pending rue now came on for trial, the def. nd-
sat having saccessfully applied to the court to remove the
"street from his recognisance', and to allow him to be tried.
Mr. Horne appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Hawkins on
behalf of the defendant.
The defendant wee indicted for an assault upon Mr.
Daniels, en officer of the Sheriff of Middlesex, and the facts
upon which the enarge was supported lay in • very small
compass Daniels was ia possession of a warrant for the
apprehension of Rusell, and he bad for some time been look-
ing out for Mm, with the view of executing it, but he was
uosuomestul for s .m• time. From information he had re-
ceived, he and • sheriff's follower named Coleman stationed
themselves near Westminster-bridge, on the 11th of May
last, and after waiting there some time they observed the
defendant driving towards the bridge, from Parliament-
street, when they ran up to the vehicle the defendantwas in,

drive over them, but disregarding this they still held the

He said he knew nothing of her ; upon which she replied,
that if he would accompany her to a friend's, in Arundel-
street, he should be convinced, for there she would introduce
him to a lady whom he had formerly visited, and with whom
she had lived. lie went with her, and in Arundel street
they were jollied by Greatorez, and immediately two bullies
reithed up to the prosecutor, burled him, and one of the
women at the same lament picked his pocket. Story, a de-

prehended the prisoners. The men weaned.
Mr. Mellor cooteoded that the ease against Greaten: was
