On Saturday last the Judges arrived from :Tun.
bridge Wells, ard. opened their cbibmisSiOn. Yes,
ferday they went the usual form to chureh, and:;
at nine o'clock this morning they proceeded to -the
business of the county. :Lord ELLENBOROUGIat
01Y :the Criminal Side, and the LORD ChliF 'BARON
oh the Civil Side. Nothing- occurred on the'Civil
Side to-day in any manner interesting. On. the
Criminal Side there were but seven Prisoners, farce
of whom were for capital offences. , •
Win. Hill was Mdicted •for stealing a black. geld-
ing, the property of John Mills,• from the parish of
Hartfield, iu this county.
•John Mills, farmer at Hartfield, deposed, that his,
horse was missing from the field on the night of the
30th of June. From. information which he received,
he was ,induccd to go to London. He went to
Smithfield, and there he saw. the horse in, the pos-
session of one Crane, Who was offering it for sale.-1
He stopped the borse;and had Crane. apprehended.
John Crane was next called to give an account of
his possesSion of the horse. lie said, that being at
Palmer's Repossitdry, in the Borough, the Prisoner
Hill brought the horse into the yard, • and wanted
Palmer to sell it, but it not, being sale-day, Palmer
could not then do it: A roan-in the yard referred
the Prisoner tb him, as -wanting, to buy a horse. The
Prisoner accordingly °tiered it to him. ' He said he
was to sell it for his father, whose- name was .13.0x-
ley, and that 'he lived at Godstone. After some
chaffering, the witness bought the horse of the 'pri.
soner for 131. and gave him his promissory note,
payable at a month.
John Palmer, the keeper of a Repository in the
*Borough, confirmed the last witness. That the pri-
soner broUght the- horse to his yard, and said he
carne from his 'father, whose name was Bowley' or
Boxley, and that he lived at Godstone. He said
his father knew 'Palmer very well, 'and had directed
him there with it. The witness did .not recollect
any such name, but thought it was possible such a
person did know him. He. could not however sell
the horse that day, because was - not sale-day.
His man, therefore, introduced-birn to Crane, who
Wanted to buy a horse, and. he understood' they.

•
agreed., •
. Peter Mu,rphy, the servant at the Repository,
stated that he introduced the Prisoner to Crane, to
sell (he horse.. He was afterwards present when
the Prisoner' was taken up; and as he was going to
prison, he said he.had received the horse from one
Everest, Who was son-in-law to the Prosecutor, who
had told. him to say.. he sold it
.for one Boxley, at •
Godstone. That be had made every inquiry after
Everest, but could not apprehend 'him, he having
absconded.
Mills, the Prosecutor was again called ; he said
that Everest, his son-in-law, had absconded, but
that it was on -account of having had .four bastard
children sworn to him, 'and that be did not believe
he had stolen the horse. - -
• The Prisoner and Everest were not .very intirriate,.
though they were acquainted., The •Prisoner was a
hoop-maker, and had lived
,in their neighbourhood
.about nine months.
John Pullen, a hoop-dealer in London, stated
that he h,ad employed the Prisoner a great deal;. and
.always found him a very honest wan. He was so
h much, impressed with the opinion of his innocence,
that he had-trims4f- used , every endeavour to' find
Everest, and had published handbills; offering a 'rt.--
ward of 2a. guineas' for his apprehension, but with-
out success. ). •
The Jury after considerable deliberation found the
Prisoner—Guilty.
The LORD CrIIEF JUSTICE passed- 'sentence pn
three capital- convicts, and finished all the criminal
business by•f4e o'clock. • •

A young man, genteelly attired, was found drown-
ed yesterday, in the Reservoir in the Park, supposed
to have been-several- days in the water. The body.
was ow ned, and proved to bet he servant of an Officer,
but it is n9t. rumoured what vas the cause of.tlie
supposed suicide ; some silver was found in his
packets, and a letter'addressed to his brother, stating,
that he was tired of his life. ,
