LAMBETH-STREET.

Two stout strong-looking young women, who
gave their names Fanny and Ann Matthews, but
whose real names are Fanny Batkens and Nancy
Man!; were brought to this office late on Friday
evening in custody of Pendergrass and Shels well,
charged with robbing a gentleman named Williams,
of five 10/. notes, on the 12th of January.
They were both remanded until Friday.
A sailor, named John Brown, was brought on
Saturday before Mr. WALKER, charged with ob-
taining a quantity of valuable property from a Mr.
Stancliffe, a mathematical instrument-maker, residing
at Stepney.
The prisoner was remanded.
A respectable-looking young woman, attired in
widow's weeds, came before Mr. WALKER, and
begged him to compel the overseers of the parish
of St. George in the East to grant her some relief.
The young woman, in a very respectful tone, told
the Magistrate that she had resided with her hus-
band in the parish of St. George for a long time,
but at the falling of the Brunswick Theatre her
husband was so seriously injured that he died in
consequence, about seven months since, leaving her
with an infant child without any means of sub-
sibtence.

Mr. WALKER—You say your husband has been
dead seven months, how have you supported your-
self since that time? Applicant—Why, Sir, I
have endeavoured to get my living by doing a little
needle-work, and, indeed, if my child were to be
taken care of, I could still support myself.
Mr. WALKER—Oh, you cannot expect the parish
to do that; however, I will grant you a summons
for the parish-officers, and we will have the case in-
vestigated.

SPRING ASSIZES.

OXFORD CIRCUIT, READING, FEB. 26.

The Judges for this circuit, Mr. Justice-TATTLE..
DALE and Mr. Baron BOLLAND, arrived here yester-
day at five o'clock p.m., attended by the High
Sheriff of the county and his escort, composed of
the usual attendaNts, as well as a very numerous and
brilliant cortege of that gentleman's friends, and of the
yeomanry of the county. The brightness of a very
fine day gave unusual cheerfulness to the procession.
This morning, at ten o'clock, their Lordships, accom-
panied by the Sheriff, proceeded to the Town-hall
to open the commission, and after they bad attended
divine service at St. Lawrence's church, Mr. Baron
Bolland, who presides in the Crown Court, charged
the 'Grand Jury, of which Sir Claudius Hunter,
Bart., is foreman. The calendar contains 24 cases,
the prisoners being 39 in number, but, except in a
few instances, none of which have come on to-day,
the offences charged are not more aggravated than
usually occur in a county purely agricultural. The
Learned Baron has only resigned the Recordership of
this borough since his late promotion to the Bench.
The entry of causes is understood to be unusually
small. The Commission day at Oxford is Tuesday.

SATURDAY, FEE. 27.

William Green was put to the bar, charged on the
Coroner's inquisition with the manslaughter of
William Tull, et Bucklebury.
Before the Jury were sworn, Mr. TALFOURD, for
tht prisoner, among other objections, submitted
that the Christian name of one of the Jurors was
not written at length in the inquisition, and cited
the " King and Evitt," in 6 Barnewall and Cress-
well's Reports.
Mr, Baron BOLLAND adverted to the illegible
manner in which the name as abbreviated, was
written, being more like " Nathg," than " Nathl."
and quashed the inquisition on the authority of the
case cited.

William Jervis was indicted for stealing a mere,
the'property of Lewis Rose, of White Waltham,
and John Stone, for receiving the same mare know-
ing her to have been stolen.
The prisoner did not go into the field of the pro-
secutor and take the mare, but he agreed for the
purchase of her, and contracted to pay for her 11/.
10s. in ready money. As he was a stranger to Mr.
Rose, the latter refused to part with the mare un-
less he was paid; and, on a promise of payment, he
sent his servant with the mare to Bracknell, where
the prisoner lived, with directions not to part with
her unless paid. Jervis, however, overtook the man
on the road, and induced him to give up the mare
without being paid, by pretending that Mr. Rose
and he had so agreed. Jervis then took the mare
to his own house, and, in a few days after, ab-
sconded with her. The other prisoner also disap-
peared under suspicious circumstances, and both
were found together with the mare at Aylesbury.
The Jury found the prisoners Not Guilty.
_ _

James Suyeeper was indicted for breaking into the
house of William Baker, in St. Mary's, Reading, and
stealing therein one sovereign, four half sovereigns,
and 4/. 7s. in silver, his property.
Mr. TYRIVIIITT stated the case for the prosecu-
tion, pointing out to the Jury in conclusion, that the
main point to which they would direct their atten-
tion would be the nature of the opportunity which
in their judgment the wife of the prosecutor should
turn out to have had of observing the men who en-
tered the house on the evening in question. It ap-
peared from her evidence, that the house was situated
in a large market-garden, in the outskirts of Reading,
300 yards from any other house. It consisted of two
rooms, one a sitting the other a bed-room, both on
the ground floor, with a window in each room, that
in the sitting•room being a casement close to the
house-door, and not made to open, but closely
nailed down. The family consisted of the prosecutor,
who was a market-gardener, his wife and infant
child, and a servant girl. About six o'clock on the
evening of Wednesday, the 16th of December, the
husband, William Baker, left home,in order to make
some purchase, and after taking 3s. for that pnr-
pose, counted the rest of his money, which amounted
to the above-mentioned sum. He then► placed it in
a bag, in the middle drawer of three, in a chest in
the bedroom. Soon after his departure the wife
placed her child asleep on the bed in the bed-room,
and saw through the window two men in the garden,
about eight yards from the house. They went off
towards the road, and she, in alarm, prevailed on the
servant girl to go to her father's, about 300 yards
off, to bring him and her brother to protect the house.
She locked the house-door after the girl, and sat
down by the fire in the outer room. Just afterwards
she heard the casement by the door• torn up, and a
hand appeared which reached_ to the key in the lock
of the door, and unlocked it inside. Two men im.•
mediately entered the house, one a tall man, the
other a short one. They stood before her as she sat;
she had a candle and fire burning, and saw them
distinctly.
The witness was desired to look at the prisoner,
who was a tall man, dressed in a light grey frock-
coat, and to say whether that was one of the men.
The prisoner turned to her with boldness, but she
steadily surveyed him, and positively swore he was
the taller of them, but that he was then dressed dif-
ferently, viz, in fustian coat and trousers. On the
11th of January she went to the Bridewell in Read-
ing, and was placed in a room there darkened, with
a candle burning, and sat in the same position she
had been in on the night of the robbery. The pri-
soner who was then in tile gaol on another charge,
was then indtroduce ; but on seeing her turned his
head aside, Site screamed out and fainted. On the
night of the robbery, he was not dressed as he then
was, or as he appeared at the trial, but in a fustian
coat and trousers.

The servant girl proved her going to her father,
and that on then• return in about a quarter of an
hour, they found the house door oven and the outer

room dark, except from a small fire. TheY'searched
for Mrs. Baker in both rooms, and found her in the
bed-room on the floor, in the placed she had stated,
with an apron tied over her head and neck, and in-
sensible.
•
Verdict—Not Guilty.
The prisoner was then tried on another indict-
ment, for stealing a watch from a cottager's mantel-
piece, in Beedon, on the 6th of January.
Mr. TYRWIIITT stated the case very shortly, and
the prisoner was convicted. '
' The Learned BARON postponed the-sentence.
Richard Brunsdon was put to the bar, charged
with killing and slaying William Rance, at Sonning.
Verdict—Guilty. Sentence—Two months' im-
prisonment.
The Courts adjourned about seven o'clock, only
four trifling cases remaining to be tried on Monday
in the Criminal Court. The Nisi Prius list for that
day is very light.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET.-Feb. 26.
There is again a large arrival of Wheat up the river,
but the supply from the farmers has fallen off to this day's
market ; the best dry and sound. samples are in request,
at an advance of 2s. per quarter, and general runs are Is.
per quarter higher, but the inferior and damp parcels meet
dull sale. Oats are without variation. Barley is Immix
the same in value as last week, good dry samples being in
fair demand, and the middling and inferior sorts very dull
sale. Good hard Beans are in demand at the rates of last
Friday, but soft samples, a considerable quantity of which
are offering, are very heavy sale. Malt is as dull as
possible.
