CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day).

OLD COURT.

The sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced
this day before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and the
other functionaries.

The Recorder, in charging the Grand Jury, said the
calender, though limited, as far as numbers were concerned,
was of a very serious character. There was a charge A
murder against Serafino Polioni, who stood indicted for
killing Michael Harrington. The lamentable occurrence
took place in consequence of a public-house quarrel near
Saffron-hill. The whole of the evidenco would be laid
before them, and it would be for them to say whether there
was a prima facie case against him ; if so, it would be their
duty to return a true bill against him. There were three
charges of demanding money with threats, and it was much
to be regretted that this affair seemed to be on the increase.
There was a very voluminous case against two persons
named Birch and Terry, late of the Unity Bank, who
stood charged with having published a fraudulent balance
sheet. The proceedings were taken under 24 and 25 Vic.,
which laid down who were the proper parties to be sued as
public officers in such matters. .As far as he had been
enabled to read the depositions, it appeared to him that
Birch, who was a paid secretary, was not iu the position of
a public officer, but with respect to Terry, the manager, the
case was different. The investigation would be very
complicated, owing to the immense quantity of books and
documents that would have to be examined, but he had no
doubt they would be enabled efficiently to discharge their
duties. The learned gentleman having referred to the
other cases comprised in the calendar, which were of the
same order, remitted the Grand Jury to their duty.

In a short time the trials commenced.
John Dring was indicted for receiving a quantity of
shawls, well knowing them to have been stolen.

NEW COURT.

Mary Ann Thing, wife of the above prisoner, was in-
dicted for uttering counterfeit coin. She pleaded guilty.
The Common Sergeant said hers was a very bad case.
She had been frequently punished before for the same
offence, and the one for which she was now about to un-
dergo punishment was committed very near Newgate. It
appeared she had been to visit her husband previous to his
trial, and on leaving the prison she had gone to a public-
house and passed a bad half-crown. She had also been
charged with pot-stealing, and he had no doubt the articles
had been converted into counterfeit coin. The learned
Judge then sentenced her to five years' penal servitude.
G. Dolton also pleaded guilty to uttering coin.
There was a number of former convictions against him.
The Common Sergeant sentence him to seven years
penal servitude.,
