bar, a resolution was agreed to, confining the Queen s
counsel to practise in one particular court, and not to
receive briefs in any other.

turer ; Mr. Matthews, cutler, of Fleet-street ; Mr.
Phillips, a braid maker ; Mr. Clarke, an ivory turner ;
Mr. Hall, a scissors grinder ; and Mr. Bentley, a saw-

ESCAPE OF PRISONERS FROM HORSEMONGER-LANE
GAOL.—Yesterday morning, a little after 8 o'clock,
Thomas Richardson and John Clark, two convicted
prisoners, contrived to escape from the above gaol in a
very singular manner. Both prisoners were tried at the
December sessions for Surrey, and convicted for robbe-
ries with violence ; Richardson was sentenced to six
years', and Clark two years' penal servitude. The pri-
soners so convicted are employed in the prison chiefly
in cutting wood, and tying it in bundles, to be sold
among the shopkeepers. At eight o'clock, while the
turnkeys were at breakfast, the two convicts got over
the -wall at the rear of the prison, and succeeded in
making their escape. They had by some means con-
trived to make a ladder with the pieces of spun yarn and
