OLD COUR7.

The February sessions of the Central Criminal Court
were opened this morning, befre the Right Hon. the
Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Alderman Sir John Mus-
grove, and Alderman Lawrence' attended by the Sheriff's,
Under-Sheriffs, and ether civic functionaries.
The calendar contains the names of 71 prisoners,
being 17 froin Loudon, 39 from Middlesex, two from
Essex, live from Kea, and eight from Surrey.
The grand jury having been selected and sworn,
The RECORDER proceeded to charge them, to the fol-
lowing effect. He was very brief in his remarks, and
simply observed that the calendar was exceedingly
light, while, as far as he could ascertain, none of the
cues presented any legal difficulty. There were, it was
true, some serious cases, but the majority of them were
of the ordinary character; and, on the. whole, he was
happy to congratulate diem upon their labours, this
session, being exceedingly
The grand jury then retired, and shortly afterwards,
some true bills being returned into court, the trials
commenced.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
The February adjourned sessious commenced this
morning at Westminster.

John Garrett, aged twenty-three, a young man of re-
markably respectable appearance, was found guilty of
stealing two half-crowns, the monies of Peter Squire, his
master. The prosecutor is the eminent chemist of No.
277, Oxford-street, and the prisoner was ono of his BE-
sistante.

Ttle ABSISTANT•JUDGE, in passing sentence, observed
that the education and character of the prisoner aggra-
♦ated the offence, and called for a severe punishment.
Re therefore sentenced him to be imprisoned six months
and kept to hard labour.

MAN SION-HOUSE.—(T HIS DAY.)
HEARTLESS ROBBERY.—Mary Simonds wag placed
before the Lord Mayor, charged with the following cruel
robbery :
Mrs. Robson stated that six weeks since the prisoner

' 'new, took her in, and she had been there ever since.
Yesterday the police told her that the prisoner was
locked up for stealing a shawl, and upon making an
• 'examination she found that several things had been stolen.
, The prisoner said that she took the things not with the
intention 'of stealing them, but intended to return them.
• • The LORD MAYOR remanded her until Thursday.

SVORTING NOTES.
No. CLXXIV.
THE LIVERPOOL GRAND NATIONAL

STEEPLE CHASE.
(Continued from No. CLXXIII.)

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sits,—ln continuation of my analysis of the Grand
National, having already disposed of the heavy division,
I shall now make a point of considering the chances of
the„ middle weights, commencing with Mr. Deacon's
Half and Half, lOst 61b. This horse has run respectably
several times, and was well up in this race last year, but
is, Much better suited to the two miles of a hurdle-race
,t'sali to the four miles odd of the present steeplechase.
miptain Smythe's bay mare, Joan. of Arc, lOst 61b, once
a great favourite at the list houses, is so badly " in" in
Comparison with others, that her chance is completely
111111ified. Mr. Talbot's Simple Harry, same weight
rt the preceding, is an animal belonging to
' . 'mediocre class, and not destined to accomplish any
eXtlnordinary feat on this occasion. Mr. Mason's bay
1113111% Miss Mowbray, lOst 41b, within the last few days
~,S4l become a rattling favourite, and upon the strength
r her
rperformance last year has been backed for a large
ieunt of hard cash; her condition is first rate, and she
sloe
lately given some creditable signs in several journeys
has made across the country of being a very danger-
ou,

• vo.empetitor. I, however, have no penchant for her
"Atever considering, and not without reason, that her
chance ix s held perfectly safe by several others weighted
ite4ter in the scale. Mr. S. Thompson's Hardwick,
st 21b, within the last three or four months, upon
m strength of his performances, has made no M-
lulae aliderable stir in the steeplechasing circles. It was
in one of his races that he would have won had he
alit tilet with a slight accident in approaching the finish,
414„0f his other race he was made a certainty, and won
bIZi.Y enough. His pretensions are certainly above

Vet% ruy, but from past experience I should say he

S yrs, lOst, has figured very well on the flat in

rite for the Liverpool Steeplechase course. Mr.
lirtney's Silent Friend, 9st 121 b, I cannot fancy for
