MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—March 14.

(Before the Assistant-Judge.)
Henry Percival, 20, clicker, John Beaumont, 20,
lapidary, Simon Claydon, 30, smith, and Henry
Blake, 29, dealer, were indicted for breaking and
entering the dwelling-house of Robert Ellis Roberts,
and stealing securities of the value of £1,700, and
other articles.
Mr. Collins prosecuted ; Mr. Horry defended
Claydon, Mr. Pater defended Blake ; the other two
prisoners pleaded guilty.
This robbery was committed on the evening of
Feb. 16, at 32, Rheidoi terrace, Islington, while the
prosecutor and his family were at chapel. On his
return he found a policeman in possession, and the
whole house in confusion. An iron safe had been
opened and everything turned out of it. Among the
articles missed were railway debentures value £7OO,
and consol scrip of the value of £l,OOO. They had
been taken out of the iron safe.
The case for the prosecution was that the pri-
soners acted in complicity in committing this
robbery.
The prisoners were detected by Herbert Slam-
mers, 136 N, whose conduct in the matter was
highly eulogised by the court, and would be repre-
sented in the proper quarter.
The prisoners were found guilty. Blake solemnly
protested his innocence.
His lordship said he would postpone sentence
until next session, and the prisoner who had so ear-
nestly protested his innocence must take the conse-
quences of a searching inquiry that would be made.
A prisoner, named Rooke, was brought up for
judgment, he having been convicted of stealing tools
from the International Exhibition at Kensington.
Mr. Dickie appeared for the prisoner; Mr. Po-
land prosecuted.
The prisoner's wife was in attendance, and with
a baby only three weeks old, went on her knees
and prayed for mercy for her husband.
His lordship said he hoped the prisoner would
never do the like again, and sentenced him to three
days' imprisonment, which term, dating from the
commencement of the sessions,had already expired.
He would therefore be immediately discharged.
The wife burst into tears on hearing his lord-
ship's words, and said she should bless him for ever.
In the case of Price and others, convicted of
stealing and receiving sugar, the property of Chris-
topher Geils, the court ordered a reward of £3 to
police constable Dunn away,l29 H, with a direction
that it should be represented to the proper quarter,
and also a reward of £3 to the boy John Moore, who
was the principal witness in the case.
Edwin Cook, 27, was convicted of stealing a watch
from the person of George Schreide, at a running
match at Brompton. Two former convictions were
proved against him, and the court sentenced him to
six years' penal servitude.
George Lee, 41, and Ellen Whitts, 33, were con-
victed of stealing pots from public-houses. Lee, an
old offender, was sentenced to three years' penal
servitude, and the woman to twelve months' hard
labour. She was a trainer of young thieves.
Two prisoners, named Anthony and Williams,
were convicted of attempting to break and enter
dwelling-houses by means of burglarious imple-
ments, and for being, without lawful excuse, in pos-
session of such instruments. They were each sen-
tenced to two years' hard labour.
A number of ordinary cases were disposed of.

third of the cost of effecting a public improvement in
to be carried out by the Commig-
sTiolu:ergsmo°frthSeTvesrtTtoi the City of London, by setting back
the house No. 39 in that street, as shown upon the plan
produced to the committee, estimated at £916, exclusive of
professional charges, such contribution not to exceed £305
6s. Bd., and that such amount be paid to the Commissioners
of Sewers of the City of London on a certificate from the
architect of the board of the completion of the work. The
recommendation of the committee was adopted. The Works,
&c., Committee also recommended that the board do con-
tribute one-half of the cost of effecting a public improve-
ment in High-street, Kensington, to be carried out by the
vestry of Kensington, by widening the same, as shown on
the plan produced to the committee, estimated at £5OO, such
contribution not to exceed £250 ; and that such amount be
paid to the vestry of Kensington on a certificate from the
architect of this board of the completion of the work. This
recommendation gave rise to sense discussion, but was ulti-
mately carried by a large majority.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIowav's Ointment and Pills.—
Unhealthy Complexions.—The modern treatment of all
cutaneous affections is based upon the purity of the blood
and the healthy condition of the circulation. Holloway's
remedies always secure these desirable objects without
delay, danger, or inconvenience. This Ointment cools and
disperses any local inflammation arising from torpidity of
the circulation, external violence, or contagious matter. It
is invaluable in ulcerations, eruptions on the skin, erysi-
pelas, and the many visible affections caused by scurvy,
scrofula, and hereditary taints. It dispels discolorations,
heckles, blotches' and similar blemishes. Holloway's
Ointment and Pills, by their combined action, exercise the
most salutary sway over the three grand systems in tho
human body—they fully control the circulatory, nervous,
and digestive functions.
