Mr. Rolt fully admitted the beauty of its composition,
but contended that it proved the virtual abandonment of
negotiations between them. About the letter he submitted
there could not be the slightest doubt or ambiguity.
Lord Brougham inquired whether that letter did not
mean that Major Yelverton ought not to have proposed to
her a private marriage, and that unless he offered her a
public marriage she would not be married to him at 111.
Mr. Rolt said he could not so read the letter. She said
that Major Yelverton had torn from her the one wish of her
heart.

Lord Brougham supposed that meant a regular public
marriage. That was the most obvious interpretation of the

words.

Mr Rolt said he did not believe that the words had any
reference to marriage. She spoke of something she had
never thought of before, and that could hardly be marriage.
Other letters, however, which he had read, would probably
throw some light upon that point. To him it was clear
that in these letters she was not referring to marriage, but
to a proposal from a gentleman to a lady to live with him

without marriage; and he asked their lordships to take

udicial cognizance of the matter.
At a quarter to 12 Mrs Yelverton, accompanied by the

,wo ladies who were with her yesterday, came into the

•eportors' gallery and took their seats there.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

OLD COURT.
(Before the Common sergeant.)

Henry Simpson, a lad about 16 years of age, pleaded
guilty to an indictment charging him Aith robbery, and
also with having feloniously broken out of his master's
house in the night time.

The prisoner, it appeared, was in the employ of a licensed
victualler, who carried on business at the Marquis of
Granby, Chandos-street. On the morning following the
offence, the house, which was securely fastened up at night,
was discovered to have been broken open from the inside,
and a quantity of money stolen. Search was made
over the premises, when the prisoner was discovered
to be absent, and suspicion naturally attached to her.
Notice of the robbery was given to the police, and in a short
time after the prisoner was taken into custody and charged
with the offence. He attempted to explain his conduct,
and strongly denied that he had committed the robbery,
but said he merely opened the door and let in some man,
who had broken open the place and stolen the money.
The Common Sergeant commented very severely upon
the prisoner's conduct, and sentenced him to five years'
penal servitude.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr Commissioner Kerr.)

Robert Thompson, 16, a genteel-looking lad, pleaded
guilty to an indictment, charging him with unlawfully
attempting to administer to Mary Ann Lambert certain
noxious ingredients with which to injure and annoy her.
The prisoner was also charged with administering the same
ingredient with intent to murder her, but the grand jury
ignored the bill.

Mr Sleigh urged, on behalf of the prifoner, that he
was very young, and that down 'to the period of this
transaction he had borne a very good character.
It appeared that he was annoyed at the prosecutrix
in whose establishment he was employed as page, baying
refused to give him a holiday in order that he might go to
the Derby, and he very foolishly put some poisonous stuff
into the cocoa that had been prepared for breakfast, but he
had no intention to cause her any serious mischief, although
of course the proceeding was a very wicked and improper
one.

The learned Commissioner respited judgment till neat
session.
