OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.

On Saturday, Mary Singleton was indicted for uttering
a forged ii. note, with intent to defraud the Governor
and Company of the Batik of England.
The prisoner went to Mr. Chapples, in Cross Street,
Hatton Garden, with a decanter, and asked for some
ruin, in payment for which she tendend the note in
question; but being told he could not give her change,
she went out as if to get it. She, however, soon returned,
and said she could hut procure change. Chapple then
gave it her, and she told hiin she lived with Mrs Roberts,
25, Charles Street, Hatton Garden. A few days after
she was taken, in company with two other wotnen, one
of whom was endeavouring to utter a forged note to a
person named Gay. It was also proved, that ahout two
months hefore she uttered to one Gregory a lunged note,
exactly s' 'far in the plate and written Indorsements on
it to that which she afterwards uttered to Chapple. To
Gregory, however, she gave her true address; and, after
being in custody a week, was discharged. Her defence
was, that she had taken the notes in the course of her
unfortunate career as a woman of the town, and that she
had been induced to give a false address in consequence
of the trouble she had been put to in having given her
real address on a former occasion.

A mosi respectable elderly lady gave her an excellent
character up to two years ago, when she (the prisoner)
was seduced and left Inv service in a state of pregnancy.
The utintunate prisoner, having been deserted by her
seducer, was driven in a state of destitution on the town.
Mr. Justice Bayley summed up with his known hu-
manity; and the Jury, after retiring for ten minutes
acquitted her.
Mr. Justice Bayley said—" Gentlemen of the Jury,
I have very great satisfaction in telling you that the un-
fortunate prisoner will be rescued from the dread.ul
course Witte iu which she has recently been plunged.—
It will be a great pleasure, I ant stilt, in you, to be in-
formed that her friends will take care of her."

The Jury expresied their thanks,. to his Lordship for
this communication; and his Lordship ordered the un-
fortunate girl to be immediately gisen up to her aunt,
Mrs. Uover. _

Mr. Taylor, the prisoner's Solicitor, seemed uncom-
•only assiduous in his duty to his client, with whom
he had several communications during the trial. She
persisted io the last in not availing h. rself of the oppor-
tunity afforded her of pleading guilty to the tumor
offence.

ExEcuTioN.—This morning eight unfortunate
men, viz. C. Goodwin, J. Eaton, tJ. Hughes, T.
Hunt, M. Feely, D. Gentle, W. Reid. and R. Scott,
underwent the punishment of death in the Old
Bailey, for the various crimes of highway robbery,
burglary, stealing in a dwelling-house, and cutting
and maiming. They were visited on Saturday
morning by a gentleman, who has paid great atten-
tion to them, endeavoured to afford all the religious
consolation in his power. They appeared perfectly
reconciled to the awful ceremony that awaited them,
and expressed a full conviction in the forgiveness of
their Redeemer.
,They evinced the fullest confidence
in this conviction, at the tidal moment, and their
deaths were worthy abetter lives.
FlRE.—Monday morning a fire broke out in the
house of Mrs. Watson, 5, King-street, St. James's,
which originated from an oven in the kitchen. It
burnt with much fiiry fur some time, when it com-
municated to the adjoining house; both houses were
much damaged. The activity of the firemen and
neighbours, and a good supply of water, fortunately
prevented the ravages of the devouring element
exterating further.

CORN EXCHANGE, MONDAY, Dac. 11.
We had a large supply of Wheat at market this morning,
having had several arrivals since this day week ; the generality a
samples which appeared were very inferior iu quality, in con-
sequence they were 2s. per qr. lower, and dull in sale at that
reduction; but a few picked samples obtained last Monday's
prices. The trade in Barley was pretty brisk, and having a few
vod samples at market, last weeks prices were fully supported.
The last week's arrival of Oats have not been very large, and what
fine samples appeared, they were disposed of at last Monday's
prices; but the inferior qualities were a trifle cheaper. In Pm,
atc. there is no alteration.
