MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—NarTomm, MARCE 19.

PICIILIADI Cum or /downs. ---

Elizabeth Harry, who was at that thus pregnant, by attempt.

similar shame of falsity at the last salsa, sad asquitztd, bat

J. POO was indicted for stealing • piece of lead Take 6d.,
the property of air Henry )Kea: and Co.
Mr. Payne appeared for the prisoner, and In his address to
the jury adverted to the bill now before parliament for
extesdiag the summary jurisdiction of magistratre. Were
that bill then in operation as the law of the land, an ex-
amination of the calendar of prisoners for trial at this
session would show that one-third of them would have been
deprived of trial by jury—a.system that was the admiration of
the civilised world, and imply because the value of the
property did not exceed sr. Trial by jury was one of the
greatest blestinp this tenantry enjoyed, and he was much
surprised that any Orals should have been directed' towards
its curtailment.
The learned Judge fully concurred in what had fallen
fres the learned counsel upon this subject. The case which
was thew under consideration made the number he had tried
in that court 16,890, and even supposing that were the only
court In which he bad sat as a enteral judge, the trial of
that number of cases might easily be supposed to have given
him some experience as to the sidvawages which were con-
ferred upon society, generally, by trial by jury. Like the
learned counsel, he considered that system one of the greatest
blessings enio7ed by Englishmen. He did not say that it
was free from impertection, but he should warmly advocate
its maintenance until wine plan more fres from objection,
and equally beneficial to ail clues' of the community,
were promulgated. The value of the particular pro
petty an individual was charged with stealing in
no way affucted the moral of the crime. Where
the property was of the value of sd. the principle involved
was precisely the saute as if it were of the value of .5,0001., or
even more. The learned judge then mentioned acme in-
stances in which vast cruelty and injustice had been visited
by summary conviction upon partite, whoa* innocence, had
they been tried by jury, would have been fully established.
There was uo man infatible, and formery the weakot as and
corruption of the judges were notorious. Trial by jury
was, however, an effective tur to any such things in the pre-
sent day • though, and most happy was he to be enabled
to lay it. the judicial bench of England bad for a long series
derma been distinguished for the independence, the learning,
the integrity, and utter incorriptablity of those by whom
that bench was and had been adorned. The legal courts of
this country were public tribunals ; the acts of the judges
were open and under that, public eye, the bar, the jury, and
the public being present, and keeping an ever watchful
supervision upon all that was said and duos. This was not se
in days byegene, in the days of Oliver Cromwell and Charles
11., the judges of which periods were to • great extent
typified by the infamous Jefferies, and it was not until the
judges became lentil ritable by the crown, that they had ac-
quired that independence which had now become the &stint>
tive characteristic of the English judicial bench. He might
be pardoned fur saying that they had an illstrious instance of
the estimation in which the judges of the land were held by
the people, in the retirement from • high and distinguished
position, of • nobleman, whose superior as to honour
integrity, learning, ability, entiehtened patriotism,. elo
quence, and independence, history itself could not furnish. A
judge of more brilliant trilints—of sterner incorruptibility—
or of greater acquirements, than Lord Denman,
upon the English bench, and he was extremely happy to
have been afforded that opportunity of paying his bumble
tribute of praise to one, with whom, in early life, he had
had the honour to be associated, and one for whom he had
always entertained the warmest possible admiration and
esteem. _ _ .

Mr. Payne said he wu wiry pdad that it wu his remarks
that had called forth these observations, is the propriety of
which all world heartily concur.
Toe prisoner was convicted, and sentenced to three months'
hard labour.

THE POLICE COURTS.
MARYLEBONE.
CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHT6S.—George Fox, in the
employ 01 Mr. Ro.kstane, a filnnonger in an extensive way
of business in Upper Berkeley street, was placed at the bar
on the charge of having caused the death of George Gill-
man, a stableman in the service of the Hon. Robert Burke.
Mr. Woolf appeared for the prisoner.
A great deal of evidence was gone into, and it tended to
show that on the previ du morning, between eleven and
twelve o'clock, a dog belonging to deceased laid hold of the
prisoner's trowsen ; he (prisoner) expressed himself with
some warmth with respect to what had taken place,
and some bl.iws between the parties ensued; there were
three or (oar rounds of fair stand up fightiog, and in the
last raund deceas ,c 1 fell with his head upon the pavement.
He, however, was able to walk home, but in three or four
hours afterwards he died from the injury he had received.
Mr. Woolf eross-examined the witnesses, end called highly
respectable parties, to prove that the accused was generally
speaking a mild and inoffensive man.
Mr. Broughton, after carefelly reviewing the whole of the
evidence, came to the conclusion that it was his duty commit
the prisoner for the manslaughter, sad remanded him till
Monday next.
Bail was proffered and accepted for his being forthcoming
on the day named.
Saxamson.— Three young urchins, named Rumba',
Wright, and Baton, the eldest of whom was no more than
ten years of age, were ch.rged with having broken into the
church of St. Stephen the Martyr, Avenue road, St. John's-
wood, and stolen silver sod copper money from a box which
they had wrenched from the porch. The discovery of
an entry having been effected was made by Brand
199 8, who while en duty saw that a pane of glass
had been taken out of one of the windows of the church, the
opening thereby made being sufficiently large to admit of
the introduction of • boy. He (the officer) immediately
made a communication to Mr. Nightingale, the clerk, and
on both of them going over the sacred edifice, they found two
of the church doors open ; they also discovered in • closet
connected with the building the box, from which the whole
of the contents, supposed to amount to about 16s , had been
taken. The prisoners were ultimately taken i..to custody
by the constable brand, who felt satisfied that they were the
guilty parties. They had been charged before under nearly
similar circumstances, and two of them were convicted.
The juvenile delinquents were asked what they had to
say, and each accused the other of being the instigator of
the robbery. They admitted having shared the plunder.
They were ell committed to Newgate for trial.
THAMES.
EITILAORDINAZT APPLICATION.—Mr. Martin Thomas,
the solicitor, and Mr. George Jaques, the secretary of the
Commercial Ges Company, came before Mr. Yardley, for
the purpose of exhibiting 18 informations against Moss Phil-
lips, the landlord of the King's Arms, concert-room, tavern,
and assembly house, in the Mln-endload, for fraudulently
supplying Mina( with gas from the main pipes of the com-
pany, for • considerable time. The party charged, who is
the proprietor of one of the largest establishments in the
Tower Hamlets, has rendered himself liable to penalties
amounting to 6001. The 18 informations were received and
granted upon them.
