SURREY SESSIONS-(THIS DAY

These sessions commenced this morning at the Court-
house, Newington, before R. Hedger, Esq. and a full
bench of Magistrates.
There are fifty cases of felony in the calender, but al,
of them of a very trumpery nature.
The Grand Jury were sworn, but the Chairman said
that the cases in the calender required no notice from
him. Tile Jurors' former experience would guide then
on the occasion ; he was happy to say they were no
likely to be long detained from their various occupation,
William and George Arnold, two young men, pleade,
guilty to an assault upon Bridges and Brewer, policemen
,t the P division.

The CHAIRMAN said assaulting policemen in the dis
charge of their duty, was a serious offence, and the Cour
(oust be put in possession of the facts of the case.

. .
Bridges, P 47, was then called, and deposed that Iv
was passing down East-lane, Walworth, when he heart
a noise, and some children called to him that two met
were beating their mother. He went and saw the twt
prisoners using very abusive language to Mrs. Griffin ant
some otherfemales ; he endeavoured to induce them to go
away, but instead of that they took off their coats and as-
saulted him ; they threw him down, and beat him se-
verely ; he got his staff out and beat them off. Brewer
came to his assistance, and they succeeded in taking
them into custody. On the way to the station-housf
Arnold threw Brewer down, and he received such in-
juries as kept him from his duty for three weeks.
The Court said the assault was a very gross one ; the
police must be protected in the discharge of their duty.
The sentence of the Court was that each of the pri•
sorters pay a fine of 5/. to her Majesty, and be impri-
soned till that fine was paid.
Benjamin Gain was indicted for assaulting Jame,
Tucker. Neither the prosecutor nor his witness...au
neared, therefore he was acquitted. Before leaving th.
har, however, he was called upon to pay 11s. for
fees to the Usher, and 88. Bd. to the Clerk of th.
Peace for his fees upon a copy of the record of acquit.
&c. Here was a fine of 19s. Bd. upon, probably.
the aggrieved party.
James Placell was indicted for stealing on the 11 th
Oct.. in the parish of St. Mary's, Lambeth, a brass
rap, the property of Thomas Anderson.
Mr. Austin, a plumber,had put on a similar tap to the
me produced, for Mr. Anderson, only a few days be-
fore the 11th, but h . could not swear to it as the same,
because he had many of the sane pattern.
Wm. Smith saw the prisoner near Mr. Anderson's
house about half-past five o'clock on the morning in
question—another person was inside the palings who
handed something to the prisoner. He called to two
policemen, who pursued them.

Sullivan, L. 136, pursued the prisoner, and saw him
throw away something. He overtook him, and on
going back to the place he found the tap produced.
Thomas Anderson had lost a cock, but he could not
swear to the one produced as his, for there might be
1,000 cocks of the same kind in the parish of Lambeth.
At all events he would not swear to it.
The Jury immediately found a verdict of Not guilty.

CORN E KCHANGE.
'I he past week's at nval of Wheat and Fiour was tolerably
good, and of other articles small. The iresh supply a all sorts
of Grain inconsiderable. Fine dry Wheat, both English and
Foreign, maintained last week's quotations, but tender runs of
new were rather lower Barley sold slowly at last week's rates.
New Beans were quickly taken off at Is. to 2s. per quarter ad-
vance, and old Beans also obtained lather higher prices. Pease
fully maintained their late value. Oz.ts met a fair demand at
former prices. The Flour trade slack at the terms last
reported.
