CRIMINAL COURT.--YESTERDAY.

NEW COURT.
SENTENCES.

The trials having been finished on Wednesday, the prisoners
who were convicted were yesterday brought up to receive
their respective sentences.
At two o'clock the Recorder, the Sheriffs, and Aldermen
Atkins, Harmer, and Lainson, took their seats on the bench,
when sentence of death was passed on John Backhouse,
Thomas Waters, and John Davis, for burglary, and Edward
Thornet for robbery.
The following were sentenced to be transported for life :
Richard Edwards and John Woodcock, for the manslaughter
of a boy on the high seas ; James Thomas Sutton, for re-
turning from former transportation; Frederick Ware, Thomas
Jackson, George Smithers, Edward M'Quillan, and George
Herbert.
To be transported for fourteen years--Martha Taylor
and Bartholomew Kent, whose sentence had been res-
pited from a previous session, in order to give the latter an
opportunity of taking his case before the Judges. He was a
servant in an Insurance Office, and was convicted of embezzle-
ment. He had declined carrying the case further, and the
Court thought the case so bad a one that they inflicted the
severest punishment they were empowered to do. The only
mitigation of the sentence was that the time should be com-
puted from the date of the conviction.
The following were sentenced to be transported for seven
years—Mary Hayes, Harriet Harris, Charlotte Clayton, Susan
Stockey, Eliza Latham, Mary Ray, Maria Belmore, Louisa
Mackintosh, Elizabeth Harris, Timothy Davis, John King,
Wm. Parker, Henry Scroop, Thomas Johnson, Joseph Cop.
