expressed his opiates that Owe was an end of the
charge. The *nest was messed of re-saving and
11111bitlilillg mow es the servant of the overseers,
whereas the evidence proved that he was the ser-
vant of the board of guardians. Mr. Robinson for the
prosecution, submitted that although appointed by board
of guardians, still it was only as the servant of the overseers.
He said it was a very important question, and be hoped his
lordship would not dispose of it without hearing all the evi-
dence.—The Common Serjeant said it appeared to him that
the prisoner was clearly the servant of the trued of
guardians. He was appointed by them, the overseers were
not even present when he was appointed, and he collected
the money under that appointment, and according to his
view of the case the prisoner ought to have been described as
the servant of the guardians and not of the overseen.—Mr.
Robinson said he entertained quite a different opinion. It
was perfectly clear that he acted as servant to the overseers.
He collected the money fee them, and paid it to their
account at the liankers'.—The Common Serjeant called
the attention of the learned counsel to the statute, which
he said provided that if any clerk or 'errant, or any
person employed in the capacity_ of such clerk or !servant,
&c., did embezzle, and GO on. .I,Tow in this cue the indict-
ment alleged that the prisoner was the servant of the over-
seers, and the evidence proved that he was not, Me had
no doubt himself upon the point, but he would emelt Mr.
Bullock, who was sitting in the other court, and hear his
view of the case. He then left the court, and returned in
a few minutia, when he stated that Mr. Bullock quite
agmscl with him in the rule of law he bad laid down.—Mr.
Robinson again urged that the question was one of too great
importance to be disposed of in this summary manner.
Eventually, however, the Common Serpent directed the''
cam to proceed. Evidence was adduced by three rate-
payers proving that they had paid the respective sums
named in the indictment to the prisoner, and they pro-
duced his receipts for them. Mr. Michener, the
auditor for the district, deposed that the three gems in
question bad never been accounted for by the prisoner.
This was the case for the prosecution.—The counsel for the
prisoner was about to renew his argument in support of the
objection he had raised to the indictment, when he was
stopped by the Common fierjeant, who said that his own
mind was quite made up that the indictment was bad, but
still he should not stop the caw% He should ask the jury
to my whether they considered the embezzlement bad been
proved, and if they found that it was, he should reserve the
point of law for colisideration by the judges.—Mr. Huddle-
stone complained of this course, because he said it would
have the effect of keeping in prison a man who, he believed,
had not committed any legal offence.—The jury returned a
verdict of Geitty.—Mr. Huddlestone applied to have the pri-
soner admitted to bail.—Mr. Robinson objected. There
were four other indictments against the prisoner.—The Com-
mon Serjeant having consulted Mr. Clerk, said that it *p-
m amid contrary to the practice of the court to admit a pri-
soner to bail after conviction. In this case there was not
only a conviction, but them were four other indictments
against the prisoner. He would, probably, not have to re-
main in prison more than a fortnight. During that period
he (the Common Serjeant) should powibly have an opportu-
nity of consulting some of the judges, and if they coincided
in the opinion he had given upon the point of law' no Anther
sentence of imprisonment would be passed upon this indict-
ment.

NEW COURT.—Bsioee Mr. Oomminaocer Bullock and Alderman
Parsacanbe.
THE. QUERN O. HARDEY.—ALLEGED FRAUD ON AN
!LOWRANCE OFFICI.—My Parnell, on behalf of the prose-
cution in this case, moved that process issue forthwith.
The grand jury had found two true bills against the de-
fendant, a member of the Irish bar, for haying, with
another person since deceased, fabricated one and inter-
polated another deed, with intent to defraud an insurance
office of upwards of 4,6001. The defendant, being about to
receive a sum of 2,0001. from an assurance office, was pre-
paring to leave the country, and, therefore, the learned
counsel moved that, in addition to the warrant being issued,
he►vy bail should be required for the defendant to meet and
answer the charge.—Mr. Commissioner Bullock granted the
application. The bail to be, the defendant in 6001., and two
sureties of 2501. each.
Two ROBBERY BY A GERMAN COUNTEBB.—Fredericka
Asye was indicted for stealing ten sovereigns, the property
of James Thomas Roberta, in the dwelling-house of Eleanor
Russell. The facts of this case have been already detailed
in the police reports.—The prisoner was found Guilty, and
matenced to 12 mouths' hard labour.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
Beams Mr. Serjeant Adams.
The June adjourned sessions commenced yesterday morn-
ing at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell-green. There are 156
prisoners for trial, of whom 127 are indicted for felony, and
out of the whole number 108 could read or write well or
imperfectly, and 48 were entirely ignorant of both those
branches of education. The grand jury, after being sworn,
were briefly addressed by the learned chairman, after which
they retired to their labours.
