George Wilaiire, 19, bassosa, was toted guilty on Now
day of dealing the sum of 15s. and other monies, balm-
Mg to Thomas la Dalian Gartwright, his wake. 7'he
fir=a was the proprietor of the Hotel in
etreet, Eustonequare, and the pri-
, ismer, who was his barman, of purloining money the
till, or as it was received over the counter, ha bad coins
of micas descriptions marked, and the prisoner was fated
in possession of a copsaderable portion of them, which he had
Mowed away in his boa. The case wee clearly proved.
The Assistant Judge said barmen were acl a peeeaas
in whom necessarily • great deal of confidence had to be
plead, and when they abused that confidence and robbed
their employers, who kept them, fed, lodged, paid, and is
consequence clothed them, they brought themselves into •
position in which. in the interests of the community, the
court was bound to act with more than ordinary severity.
The prosecutor said the prisoner was young and no doubt
this was his first ofreace, at haat he believed so, and be
should, therefore, earnestly recommend him to mercy, as ho
might be reclaimed and return to honesty.
The Assistant Judge said that was a very kind act on the
• part, and sentenced the prisonerto nine months'

SECOND COURT.
(Before Mr. Pape.)
TEN ASSAULT ON TEI JUDGE.

The oaken in attendance from the House of Detention
asked for his lordship's directions as to any further proceed-
ings to be taken with respect to the prisoner Sullivan, who,
after being sentenced on Monday, flung one of his shoes at
the judge, and assaulted the officers in the dock.
Mr. Payne said the prisoner was convicted of an offence,
and sentenced to what he considered a proper punishment
for that offence, bat he could not add to that punishment
for any offence committed subsequent to his conviction ;
that was a separate and distinct offence altogether, for
which a bill might, if it was thought necessary, bo preferred
before the grand jury at the next sessions.
The officers said the dream/denote and the learned judge's
observations would be reported to the authorities, and their
directions taken upon the subject.
James Dillon, 41, was indicted for stealing a watch, the
property of Mary Stevens. Mr. M'Donn I prosecuted;
Mr. Ernest Jones defended. The prisoner was acquitted.
Mr. Ribton made an application in the first court, before
the Assistant Judge, upon instructions from Messrs. Wood-
bridge and Co., of Clifford's.inn, for beech warnuits against
Major Elrington, of the 10th Hussars, and Captain IMring-
tun, of the Worcestershire Militia, against whom the grand
jury had returned a true bill for an aggravated assault upon
Captain Edward Hamilton Finney, al the 4th Middlesex
Militia. The circumstances of the ease were inquired into
on Saturday last before the Bradford divisional justioss,
and they had thought proper to dismiss the case ; but the
grand jury of the coup V having, upon the evidence sub-
mitted to them, returned a true bill, he had to apply in the
mud way for warrants, which would have the effect of
placing the defendants under recogniearces to meet the
charge. There was of course not the least desire to cause
any annoyance unnecessarily, and any notice of bail which
his lordship might think reasonable to be given wouldsatidy
the prosecutor.
Eventually it was arranged that a wades notice should be
given to the defendants, and that if after that time they
did not give bail the warrant would be issued for their
apprehension.
