excellence of the entries, warrant tho general impression
that the sport will be first rate.

UTTERING FORGED NOTES.—Thomas Taylor and
Patrick Magennis were yesterday brought up at the Man-
chester Borough Court, charged with stealing two sove-
reigns front a fruit dealer of Macclesfield, named Clarke.
The prosecutor stated that on Wednesday last Taylor and
a man not in custody, named Parrott, came to his shop,
said they had just arrived front Uttoxeter, that they had
sold a hone, and showed him a 201. note and a 10/. note,
requesting him to give them change. They said they had
received the notes in payment for the horse. Prosecutor
, told them he could not give them change, fur he had only
101. in the house. The men then asked hint to lend
them 101. on the notes, and they would reward him hand-
somely neat morning, as they could not get the notes
changed that night, the banks being all shut up, and they
had an engagement in Manchester that evening, which if
they did not attend they would lose 201. l'rosecutor lent
them the money upon the notes, but the men did not return
the neat day as they had promised to do. On making in.
quiries he found that the notes were forgeries, and came to
Manchester to look for the men. He met Parrott, who
went with him to look for Taylor. The latter was found
in a public-house. Prosecutor told them that the notes were
bad, and requested them to return his money. They said they
were very Norry, and offered to bring him a respectable person
who would be security for their paying the money at the
end of the week. Prosecutor assented to this, and in the
afternoon, by appointment, again met the men, who
brought with them the prisoner Magennis. Prosecutor
found, alter some conversation, that Magennis was con-
cerned with the others, awl offered them 21. if they would
give him his money at once. lie held out two sovereigns
towards them, when Taylor struck him under the arm, so
as to jerk the sovereigns into the air. They fell on the
floor, Parrott picked them up, and the three decamped.
The magistrates committed the prisoners for trial, but
Taylor was allowed to be remanded till Friday, as he said
he should be able to prove an gal.

MILITARY Piusoss.—A parliamentary paper has
km beets imam' sentaining a report on the discipline and
MidaigNMEßl e 6 dm military prisons 44 year. There are
nine walemy prisons in the United Kingdom and eight
.head, =Wag 17 prisons, capable of accommodating from
1,380 to 1,100 prisoners. In the prisons at home in 1847,
3,500 ware admitted ; in 1848, 4,009 ; in 1819, 3,533 ; and
lam year, 3,568. The committals for desertion and absence
without leave, taken together, were precisely the same in
1800 as Selfit9, but whilst the minor offence of absence had
immerwil Ise grave crime of desertion had materially de-
ment The commitments for drunkenness had increased
in the last year. The Inspector-General (Colonel Jebb), in
his report to the Secretary at War, makes the following ob-
servations "It is a subject of regret that these is an M-
enem of re.coeunittals, the number committed to some of
the military prisons being 1,011, whilst those committed in
1860 amount to 1,268, being in the latter year more than
one-third of the whole admissions. The number, however,
recommitted to the same military prisons are 678 in 1849,
and 675 in 1850. A different result might have been anti-
cipated, arising from the fact that a large portion of the
worst characters in the army had bete got rid of in the late
reductions. It is, however, understood that many of these
being perfectly fit for service, have obtained reedmisdon
into the ranks. But for this circumstance it becomes a
question for serious consideration, now that the character
of the service has been so greatly raised by the improve-
ments made in the condition of the soldier, whether the
suggestions made in 1819 for relieving regiments of habitual
drunkards and incorrigible soldiers should not be adopted.
Some means might also be devised for marking men sou to
prevent their return to service."

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—YETERDAT.
The fittings of the court were resumed before the learned
Chief COMMISSiOter.
IN as CHAHLEA NASH.
Mr. Nichols applied for the discharge of the insolvent,
who had been remanded for eight months, at the suit of
a Me. Thwaite, for a vexatious defence. An application
had been mule by the insolvent for an allowance from this
detaining creditor of 3.. 6d. a week, which had been or-
dered. The " sixpences " had not been paid for some
weeks, and in default the insolvent had obtained a rule for
his liberation, without staying in prison the period of the
judgment.
The court granted the application, and ordered the dis-
charge.

Tnw EGO TRIMMING AT VACTUALLMATIL
Henry Dinudale was called upon to surrender and take
his trial upon a charge of misdemeanor.
It will be remembered that the defendant is one of the
parties who stands charged with assaulting Mr. Jarman,
the managing clerk to Mr. Iltunphreys, the solicitor, by
I pelting him with eggs, upon the return from the Oaks race.
'fhe case 11a$ been adjourned over for two sessions.
Mr. Clarkson now applied for a further postponement of
the trial, on the ground that Mr. Diur.dale was in such an
ill state of health, as to render it dangerous for him to
undergo the excitement of a trial.
Mr. Bodkin, who appeared for the prosecution opposed
the application. He said that the trial had already been
postponed upon two occasions, and at the last session the
defendant had given notice of his intention to appear and
take his trial. The prosecutor, in consequence, had all his
witnesses in attendance, but the defendant did not sur-
render, and, whether intentionally or not he could not say
,
but certainly every means had been taken to harass and
annoy him. The defendant was in custody upon civil pro-
cess, and at the last session Mr. Ballantine, who appeared
for him, said that the prosecutor ought to have procured
his appearance by a writ of habeas corpus. The prosecutor
had now brought the defendant here by habeas, and, under
these cireum•tances, he urged that the trial should proceed.
The Recorder said that there ought at all events to be
an affidavit by a medical man with regard to the con•
dition of health of the defendant, and his unfitness to
take hia trial . . .

Mr. Ciarloon said that such an affidavit should be pre-
pared, and tho matter was ordered to stand over fur teat

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-YESTERDAY.

The September general session of the peace for the county
of Middlesex commenced this morning at the Ses.ions
Home, Clerkenwell, with a calendar of seventy-two pri-
soner+ for trial. Sixty-four were charged with lelony, and
eight with mi.demeanor. Mr. Witham presided in the ab-
sence of Mr. Serjeant Adams. The learned Chairman
briefly addres-ed the grand jury.

A Jerzy' PUZZLED.
Alfred Guest, 22, a respectable looking young man, was
indicted for stealing 54 pounds of candles, 36 pounds of
soap, and other articles, the property of Jel lloldsworth,
his employer.
From the evidence of the prosecutor, en oil and colour-
man, residing at No. 7, high-street, Shadwcll, it appeared
that the prisoner was engaged by him a little more than
three months ago to take charge of a branch business, car-
tied on by him in Maud-place, Jubilee-street, Stepney.
When he applied for the situation, the prisoner said he had
been in business for himself, bat had failed, and
that ho was unmarried, and the prosecutor having
satisfied himself as to the prisoner's former cha-
racter fur honesty, put him in possession of the
shop in Maud-place, and reposed great confidence in him.
It was the prisoner's duty to enter all goods sold in a day
book, and not to sell goods on credit under any circum-
stances whatever, and the prosecutor occasionally inspected
the books. From an observation made to him by an errand
boy in Isis employ, the prosecutor found that the prisoner
had a shop in Cambridge-street, and he afterwards dis-
covered that he was married, although he had been very
assiduously paying his addresses to a young lady who re-
sided in the immediate neighbourhood. An examination oil
the stock ',hewed a great deficiency, and oa being Ines-
tioncd about having a shop of his own, tho prisoner said it
was certainly fru:. that he had taken a shop, and he was
about to open it. At the shop in Cambridge-street the
prosecutor futind 361hs. of soap, 54 lbs. of candles, 6 lbs of
starch, 10 lbs. of treacle, 30 packets of washing powder, six
dozen packets of blackiug, and a quantity of other article.,
the whole of which had been removed from the shop in Maud-
place. It appeared that the prisoner had sent these things
from the one shop to the other by the errand boy, who was
instructed by. him to say, in case ho met his master,
that he was going to some of the regular customers. There
was no entry. of any of the articles in the day-book, but
when giveu into custody on the charge of stealing them, he
said that was a false accusation, he had certainly sent the
things to Cambridge-street, but he intended to pay for
them. At that time upwards of W. was due to him for

wages.
Mr. Metcalfe submitted that the evidence did not sup-
port the charge of larceny, as at the time the goods were
sent by him, the prisoner, to Cambridge-street, they were
legally and properly in his possession. He was put in pos-
session of the property by the prosecutor et the time he was
engaged, and for what he had done ho was not liable to a
charge of felony, but to one of breach of trust for which he
was civilly and not criminally responsible.
Mr. Witham said he should not withdraw the case from
thedury , but would reserve the point.
r. Metcalfe then addressed the jury, contending that
the probability of the case was, that the prisoner intended
to enter the goods in the book and make himself debtor to
his master.

Mr. Witham said the question for the jury was, did or
did nut the prisoner intend to rob the prosecutorof the pro-
perty.
The Foreman of the Jury said they found the prisoner
Guilty, but strongly recommended him to mercy.
Mr. Without—On what ground, gentlemen.
A Juryman—Because, my lord, we think the prisoner
meant to pay for the things.
Mr. Mehailfe—Then, gentlemen, you arc bound to say
' nut guilty. How could he steal them if he meant to pay
fur them? (A laugh.)
A Juryman said the goods were placed in the prisoner's
charge, and he might have bought them for himself.
Mr. Metcalfe—lt appears you have a doubt; you must.
give the prisoner the benefit of it.
Mr. Nt itham told the jury to re-consider their verdict.
If they had any doubt, the prisoner was entitled to
the benefit of it; but they must be unanimous in their
verdict.

The jury then consulted for a few minutes, when the
Foreman said—Wc.find him Guilty, but wo are still of the
same opinion.
Mr. Witham—Then you must be locked up.
The Foreman said there were two or three dissentients
amongst them.
Mr. Witham directed a bailiff to be sworn.

Thu Foreman then said they had unaaina' ously aimed to
find the prisoner Guilty.

THE POLICE COURTS.
__ _ MANSION-HOTISL

Four well-dread young men, mod IIPICay, Horton,
Mackey, and JOON, were brought babes the Lord Mayor
by George Scott, ono of the officers a[ the City detective
police, charged with having picked a lady's pocket of a I
purse containing a sum of money, and with having tried to
pick the pockets of several other ladies.
The officer—On Saturday, at half-past three o'clock, as
was on duty on London Bridge wharf, when the Margate
steamer was going off, I saw the four prisoners on the wharf.
Jones went up to a lady and felt with his left hand the out-
side of her dress. At'liay did the same with another lady.
I then saw the four prisoners get into the mob, which con-
tasted of about 40 persons. I got upon a platform near the
spot and observed the movements of all of them. hi'liay
I got alongside four or five persons, and while he
was trying one of the unsuspecting crowd, the
other prisoners got round him and covered him. At that
moment a push was made to get on board the boat which
was about to start, and I saw M,Kay go off in a hurried
manner, followed by the three others, up the passage and
into Thames-street. I ran after them, and seeing them go
into a publinhonse in Botolph-lase got she assistance of
two other constables and found them all in the parlour.
The moment I entered I said, " Now I want these four
men ;" and when I said so M'iCay Now,
to drop a purse
which he had in his hand behind him, and I secured both
him and the purse. When I said I wanted the four .men
they said " What for 1" I replied, " For picking a lady's
pocket of this purse." Jones said of the other prisoners,
I do not know them : they are entire strangers to me."
The Lord Mayor—ls the person to whom the puma be-
lop=?
The lady went off to Margate, and I have reason
to believe without eay.moncy at all. The prisoners do not
know what money is is the purse, bat I dare say all the
lady's property is safe. When I took the prisoners to the
station house I found money in the pockets of each
of then.

—G examined by Mr. Hughes (solicitor for Jones)—l
lad seen them about ten minutes on the wharf. Jones was
the bet person I saw acting amongst them. la the public-
home they were all sitting at a table together. I did not see
the penes taken.
Ariederie star eenreaseatod the account given by
SCOit. His heard Jones twiss say that he knew nothing of
the ether I
pelsonn.

~4hea do not see that there is anything at all
against .
The Lead Mayer—What different opinions some people
entertain upset the wee subject. I can see quite enough
to sonvines ow that he was one of the persons engaged in
the zobbery. Hs was the first man the officer saw lay his
hand tom a lady's dress.
Xt. Mehes.—That would be matter, I submit, for sum-
mary treilmient by your lordship. It does not appear that
he had anything at all to do with the purse which was
ortolan.

The Lord Mayor.—l shall certainly detain him with the
elitse
Juln AL 7-11 e had money about him which the
odium leek Ikea him. Will your lordship order that that
Wbe w phut up to him in order that he may get reedy
hi Me_

Thu Lord Mayor.—Oh dew so. If I should by-and-
bye think papa to deal summasily with him, I shall

order that the money be handed over to the gaol authorities
to defray the expenses attending his imprisonment.
At this moment the Lord Mayor received an intimation
that the lady who had been robbed missed her purse on the
passage to Margate, and had been landed at Herne Bay in
consequence of her loss.
The prisoners were then remanded.
GUILDHALL.
Patrick Fury and Mary Fury, remanded from Saturday
last, were placed at the bar for further examination, on a
charge of erueily assaulting and beatiug Elizabeth Fury,
the wife of the male prisoner, so that her life was in
danger, the particulars of which have already appeared in
our report.
Elizabeth Fury, the wife of the male prisoner, who ap-
peared in a most weakly state from the injuries she heel
received, stated that the female prisoner, who was the
sister of her husband, had endeavoured to do all she could
to separate her from home and husband. On Friday after-
noon, believing that her husband was at his sister's house,
she went there and asked to see Will, hut she denied his
being there. She afterwards found her husband in a beer-
shop in Sun-court, when ho ordered her out, and struck
her a violent blow on the face. Soon after, as she was
standing at the top of Sun-court, Mary Fury came out of
her house with a milk-pot, when witness merely said to
her, " You wicked woman, you arc the instigation
of breaking up my home, and causing my hus-
band to leave me on the streets all my life," when„ she
rushed at her, caught her by the hair of her head, struck
her, and kicked her in the side. Her husband then came
out of the beer shop and knocked her down, and struck her
and kicked her till sho became insensible. She was taken
to the hospital, where she had remained hitherto.
In reply to the statement of the mole prisoner on Satur-
day, that whilst he went to America the witness hail
lived with another man, the witness positively denied such
was the fact.
Alderman Hunter said he had heard enough to remand
the prisouera until Friday next.
