NEW COURT.

SENTENCE ON SILL.
Richard Sill, attorney, who was found guilty, on
Tuesday lat, on an indictment charging him with having
obtainf:d money under false pretences, was brought up
before the Recorder, in this court, to receive sentence.
The prisoner declared, in a very emphatic manner,
that he was innocent of the crime alleged against him.
He also asserted that the whole case was a well
organised conspiracy by swindlers and thieves,
erjury
and that the indictment was supported by
p
tb deliberate aket d. Bit
characterofhad ncvermost and
before had thebl slicghtsestkin blemish
neon it, and in proof of his respectability, he stated
that when the indictments preferred against him in the
Queen's Bench were abandoned, there were present the
President of the Council, Mr. Justice Talfourd, and Mr.
Sheridan Knowles, who had known him for many years,
and had offered to speak to his honesty and integrity.
Re then went on to advert to the nature of the evidence,
butt was interrupted by
The RECORDER, who observed that he could not now
tdeal with the facts of the case, and it would, there-
fore, be
better for the prisoner to confine his remarks
to t
tez3 having reference to the mitigation of the
sentence.
Sill said it was his intention to apply for the post-
ponement of the sentence until next session, in order
that he might have an opportunity of disproving the
evidence by affidavit.
The RECORDER then consulted the other Judges, and
his return saiti, under the circumstances he did not
Ink the application was an unreasonable one; and he
would therefore allow the centenee to stand over until
next session. The prisoner would, of course, remain in
custody.
