which were stated in this journal on the 22nd of June last,

asserting their right to specific performance in this court, the
court would direct the deposit to be returned, or would leave

examined by Mr. Bagley, and stated that he had been in the
habit of instructing youth for the last 25 years, and was new

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
Won. Mr. Serjesat Mama.
Fitaco.-IVillions Richardson and David King, alias
Foy, were indicted for defrauding William Gledhill of the
sum of 13s. On the 14th of July a fire broke out on the
premises of the prosecutor, who keeps a small chandlery
shop in Whitechapel, at which the fire-engines of tho White-
cross-street station attended. Shortly after the fire, the pri-
soner King called on the prosecutor's wife, and said that the
clerk of the fire brigade would probably call is the course of
the day. The nest minute Richardson entered, and said he
was clerk to the fire brigade, and had called for a sum of
motley in consideration of the services rendered by the
engines on the occasion of the fire. He asked for 605., but
on Mrs. Gledhill pleading the losses she had sustained, he
agreed to take Ids., saving he would make it all right with
the superintendent. This sum was paid into Richardson's
hands, and he gave a receipt in the name of Charles Green.
It transpired that Richardson was in no way connected with
the fire establishment. The jury found both prisoners
Guilty, and the court sentenced Richardson to six and King
to four months' hard labour.

of July, when a policeman saw Martin throw away a watch,
and he asked the prosecutor, who had tken parted with the
prisoners, if be had lest anything. laegle then discovered
that his watch was gone.—Several witnesses gave the pri-
soner Martin a good character for honesty.—Pugh admitted
that he had been drinking with Martin and the prosecutor,
but he disclaimed all knowledge of the robbery.—The jury
found the prisoner Martin Guilty, and he was sentenced to
14 days' solitary confinement. Pugh was acquitted.
