LONDON ADJOURNED SESSIONS.

The Recorder and the Jurymen summoned attended
at the usual hour on Friday morning; Mt. Sheriff Par-
kins was also in his place; but no business could be
proceeded upon, on account of the absence of the Al-
dermen on the rota. Within a short time Mr. Alderman
Bevgate came into Court; every endeavour was used to
procure the attendance of iiW 1.1'..1v.:r magistrates, but
without success; and after waiting upwards of an hour,
and the return of the messengers, Mr. Recorder, in a
short speech, dismissed the jurymen, and at!jouriied the
Court.
There were six prisoners, viz.—five men and one
woman, fee trial on trifling charges, principally for
assaults, all of whom, from their inability to procure
bail, had already suffered imprisonment, more or less;
and who, unless they obtain bail, which is very unlikely,
will, in consequence of this adjournment, be detained in
prison 1 the 12th of January next.

House.
J. Morley, the keeper of billiard rooms, Sweetiner-rents,
In the Parish of St. Barth..hone's, by the y,,alimge, was
charged apou information under the 1111 b of George II 1.,
cap. VB, sec. 1. for setting up, maintainlog, and keeping a
cattalo frauttuksit game, to be determined by the chance of
dice, under the denomination of the game of luinard, by
which be was liable to the penalty of 1001.
The isiformatiou was laid by an eminent merchant, a
resident in the pari.h of St. Stephen, Coleman Street, who
was led to adopt the proceeding in consequence of having
experimiced in the person of a protegee, 10 years of age, the
dreadful effects whii Is gsmisia establishments, or as they sire
figuratively called " Hells," are daily producing. The
prospects of the young pet son *hose indiscretion has been
alluded to, were a short lime ago splendid, bat a few visits
to Morley's put an end to them.
The buu-e iiiquestroa Is in all appearance devoted to the
game of billiaids,and most of Arose who frequented it,
eugisged inertly in that game. Through Ibe agency th
professed gamesters, who shared in the profits of th colorer'',
tame who appeared tote proper objects of plunder acre
soon itstruilaced to the bies.oil table, a hich is kept in a
fel wed and private par. of the house.

Holborn, who was carrying a basket covered. Site was
grabbling the rails as she staggered along, and vagabonds
of all kinds were assembled, some for the purpose of
laughing at her, and others with the view of stealing
her basket, which, however, she kept firm hold of. The
officers, for the purpose of preventing any disaster, took
the woman to the Consider. Upon enquiry, they found,
that she had lelt her basket, some time before, in the
care of a gingerbread-seller, for the purpose of getting a
Blase agile, said that tilant her return she was almost as
drunk as a lord. Curiosity led the officers to search het
basket, in which they found six'brace of partritNes, two
hires, and some fowl. The Game Act subjected her to
the penalty of 501. or to impiisooment for five yeras and
a quarter, fur having tonne in her possession to this ex-
tent, sod the Tipplitig Act made her liable to a hits of
ss. for being drunk.
She declared that a gentleman had employed her to

ately was tam II with a eiddiness when she arrived at
the church, and was nut well able to carry the load till
