The Jnry were in wining This morning for a consid
derable period, in consequence of the Alderman schist:

length Air. Alderman Minimum, although labunrin4
nailer much indisposition, attended ior him.
'Thomas Clements, aged 16, was iiitlicted for steal i tg
a silver watch, &o. the property of Mary Ivory, in toe
house of Prince Esterhazy.

a silk handkerchief of his, he pursued, overtook, an I
brottlht him back to the hall, and oil searching him,
tie found the handkerchief un his person, wifich witness
identified as his property.
Mary Ivory also lived in the family of Prince Ecier-
hazy; witness left her watch in the hall on the Lilt if
February; saw Whales the officer search the prisoner.
and knew the watch taken front him to be hers.

John Whales, the officer, corroborated the evidence of
the former witness.
The prisoner made no defence, and the Jury returne I
a verdict of Guilty.
Mary Young waeindicted for stealing a piece of lawn,
the property of Win. Haynes.
'flse case was Bally made out against the prisoner, (a
respectable young woman,) and, under the direction tif
the Judge, the Jury found a verdict of guilty.
She was removed. fro:n the bar in the arms of the
turnkeys.
The Judges enquired whether any person knew her,
when Mr. Browne, the late Governor, stepped forw,r 1,
and said that she had conducttd herself iu a roost co-
em platy manner.
The Judge observed4hat• she should be leniently de.i:t
by, as it was probably her first offence.
Henry %Vitae, a genteel youth, was placed at the bar„
charged with stealing two shirts, the property of Hoz:a
Nlthier, and a silver spoon, the property of Crow.,
Pizetsa.
At the commencement of the examination the tri for.
innate youth felt backwards with considerable violence, .
and animation was for some time •siispemied. Leery
effort was used to restore him, but iii vain, and he waf
carried out of Court in a state of insensibility.

A man of the name of Marley, was convicted and
sentenced to he hanged at the last Mayo assizes, :or
stealing a mare, btu has since belt respited. 'lite exe.
cution'of another criminal was appointed for au earlier

its novelly and ingenuity. lie actually made applications
to be permitted tirperform the office of execatiotter on
the person who was to stiffer before him, stating, " lie
would cant thereby a certain sum ; and if the favour
was grained him, of allowing his wife to hang himself,
he was sure she would do it as well anal as leftdor4 as
any person that could be found ; alld the creature," ito
sail, " would then have, by the produce of &lir
wherewithal to pay her rent."
A curious circumstance occurred in the Collegiate
church, Manchester, on the nto•ning of a recent Sunday:
—A young couple repaired, very lovingly, to the altar
altogether, to be bound in the chains 01 Hymen.—
Already the " white rolid priest" hail commie:iced the
holy rites ; the trembling maid extended her hand
to receive the ring; the priest then demanded of t!it
bridegroom if he would have her for hits wife, telt,i„
behold, he answered " So!" and precipitately fie.; -.a.
It is impossible to describe tie amazement of the forsaise
danisel—she seemed as if awakening from a dream, all I
gazed horribly around, as if to seek her crud, her per-
jured swain. But alas! he was for ever gone; he ti-J
vanished fruits her sight, and she was left to console her-
self as well as she could, for her cruel disappointment.
