PASSING SENTENCE AT THE OLD BAILEY.—
Very few of the prisoners receive sentence at the time of their
conviction. Most of them are brought up to the bar of the
New Court, when all the cases have been disposed of, to re-
ceive their respective sentences. They are sentenced in classes.
Five or six, or some other limited number of them, who are
destined to receive the same amount and • description of
punishment, are called up at a time ; and the Re-
corder, naming them individually, or " each and all of them,"
as. the technical phrase is, pronounces the sentence of the
Court on them. I have sometimes seen fifty or sixty poor
creatures standing at the bar at the same time. And a
'more affecting spectacle, before all is over, is seldom wit-
nessed. The desperate bravado is visibly depicted in the
countenance of some ; while the anxious mind, the palpi-
tating heart, and the deepest feeling of sorrow and shame, are
as clearly to be seen in the countenances of others. The tran-
sition from one emotion of mind to another, is sometimes ex-
ceedingly violent and sudden. I have seen the downcast eye and
the trembling frame of the prisoner who expected some severe
punishment, succeeded in a moment by the most manifest tokens
of joy, when the punishment to be inflicted was comparatively
lenient. I leave seen, on the other hand, persons—female pri-
soners especially—who have remained unmoved up to the last
moment, as cheerful and composed as if nothing had been the
matter, because they laid the flattering unction to their souls
that they would got off with a few months' imprisonment, or
some very lenient punishment—turn pale as death, look for a
moment wildly about them, then close their eyes, and uttering
a heart-rending shriek, fall down in a swoon, when the sen-
tence of transportation for life has been passed upon them.
Such a sentence comes with a most appalling power, even to
the strongest-minded and most hardened criminals of our own
sex, when it comes unexpectedly. To many, lain convinced,
from what I have myself witnessed, such a sentence is armed
with more terrors then would be even death itself. They.
look on it virtually as death in so far as all their friends are con-
cerned ; while the imagination pictures to itself, very often
in deeper colours than the reality warrants, the horrors of that
state of slavery which can only close with the close of their
life.—The Great Metropolis—Second Series.

coaches, the Hirondelle and Hibernia, accomplished the jour-
ney, a distance of 132 mile;, in eleven hours !—Manchester
