OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.)

NEW COURT.
After Mr. Serjeant AILABIX took his seat on the bench soon
nine o'clock.
William White and Samuel Carroll were indicted for
unlawfully assembling and entering certain inclosed lands
called Stanwell-park, in the county of Middlesex, the
Property
of Sir John Gibbon, Bart , on the sth of January
an, about twelve o'clock at night, for the purpose of de-
stroying game, armed with guns and bludgeons. There
was a third prisoner of the name of Pond, who pleaded
guilty.

111 r. Anotruus stated the facts of the case to the Jury,
Which was afterwards detailed in evidence. He said in
the indictment, although the offence charged against
the prisoners was a misdemeanour it was necessarily
brought before them in consequence of an Act passed in
the reign of George IV. section 9, which stated that such
Offences 'could be tried before Justices of the Peace, and at
general gaol delivery. Sir J. Gibbon was not one of those
Who were called preservers of the game, but was a man who
expected to enjoy in peace and quietness that estate which
',ad descended to him from his ancestors, but which was
Pat to be made a place for plunder. The question alone
f°2 ea'go, to try was one of identity ; it would be for them
say what punishment ought to be inflicted on such men
W" were guilty pf resorting to such measures as the
Present for procuring ganlP.

Every man was then engaged in the struggle. Witness
desired
his servants to keep one is custody, saying, " now

ae have one keep him." Atf the tl4

Frequently saw them level their fire-arms. Pursued them,
but did not see any of them after, until they were in cus-
tody. Saw the prisoner Pond when he was taken on
the 7th ; Cerro!, when he was taken, begzed for mercy,
and said it was the first time he ever did such a thing;
the ether prisoner said he had a wife awl family. There
is plenty of game in the park.

well Park on the night of the sth of January. The
poachers were hailed by the footman and others, and they
answered by saying, " stand off, for our guns are loaded."
Saw Sir John Gibbon down in the struggle with one of
the poachers, and a gun was levelled at him. 'Witness
saw the Hash, but it did not go off, or else Sir John must
have been shot. Had no doubt that they came to destroy

taking prisoner into custody ; took Pond on the 7th, and
the two others on the Sth. White asked had they got
Carrell, and when they answered not, he said he would
show them the house. White said tire of the others were
to be found at Datchet.

The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty.
_ . . .

The Learned SIROZLWT, in addressing the prisoners,
said that they ought to consider themselves most fortu-
nate that they were not placed at the bar, charged with
the crime of murder, for which their lives would be for-
feited. He concluded by sentencing them each to fourteen
years' transportation.

large bill of costs.

DANIEL O'CONNELL, ESQ., M. P., AND

THE COUNTY OF WATERFORD.

A. letter has been received in town from Daniel
O'Connell, Esq., M.P., stating, that it is the de-
termination of the lion. Member to be in Waterford
on Wednesday next, the 20th, and that he will
spend the four succeeding days, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday, in different parts of the
County Waterford. Every one knows the almost
incalculable value of Mr. O'Connell's time—and the
County Waterford will therefore duly appreciate the
sacrifice which he thus makes in its favour, particu-
larly when it is recollected that this sacrifice is made
gratuitously, without the slightest remuneration,
and by the individual whom the Beresfords strained
every nerve to bring down to the County Water-
ford, at a fee of Nine Hundred Pounds!!! We
are not yet aware of the fact, but we think it pro-
bable that Mr. O'Connell will attend the Free-
holders' dinner, which is announced in our adver-
tising columns for Thursday next, at Dungarvan.—

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.

The betting yesterday was pretty heavy, but confined to
a few horses. The Mummer and Brunswicker are now
" neck and neck "—the closing offers being S to 1 against
each at the outside; the last bet was 1,700 to 200 against
Brunswicker. Neither Mouse, Cressida, nor Cetus was
backed, but Wat Tyler sprung two or three points in con-
sequence of the eagerness evinced by some of the principal
betters to take the odds about him. The last new
favourite, Zucharelli, is fast returning to the outside. A
few bets were made on the Oaks without any result of
importance. Both Raby and Brunswicker have improved
a:point for the St. Leger. We give the closing odds

DARNLEY, BY THE AUTHOR OF " RICHE-
LIEU."-Few modern novelists have been so happy, both as
to their choice of subjects and their mode of treating it, as
Mr. JAMES. Of the new work under the above title, the
Literary Gazette observes We cannot imagine a
period better suited to the pen of the novelist than the
commencement of HENRY the Eighth's reign—a young Mo-
narch, whose frank and chivalrous spirit stood out in bold
relief from his magnificent and kingly tastes—a time of
wild adventure, yet of gradual civilization—of fete and
pageantry, of tilt and tournament,—when scientific ac-
quirements were sufficiently rare to add mystery to might,
and when chivalry took its highest tone of honour and re-
finement ;—when a fine spirit of poetry was beginning,
like the dove, to bear the olive-leaves of imagination to
the deep fountains of literature, from which the dark
mists of ignorance were rapidly clearing away. We felici-
tate our author on his choice of subject, and still more on
the manner in which it is treated. His work is an ani-
mated and gorgeous picture of the times; here the gallant
KING delighting in the splendour of the Court; here a
young knight placing his hope of fortune in his own good
sword and a fair dame, whose broidered glove is hope's
best augury—here the mystic chamber of one of those wild
dreamers in astrology, whoso often real and great acquire-
ments could not protect his mind from the superstitions of
the age;—now some feat of arms, and now of policy—
fill the various pages."
