CENTRAL; CRIMINAL COURT.-THIS DAY.

OLD COURT.

The January Sessions of the Central Criminal Court
were opened this morning, before the Right Hon. the
Lord Mayor, the Recorder, the Aldermen—Sir John
Key, Bart., Sir W. Magney; Bart., Kelly, Farncomb,
and Wire, and other civic functionaries.
The number of persons contained in the calendar was
83, but this number will no doubt be augmented before
the discharge of the Grand Jury. There are no very
heinous offences disclosed in the calendar, the most se-
rious case being a burglary with an attempt at murder,
and two cases of manslaughter. There are no fewer than
six prosecutions by the Bank of England for the uttering
of forged notes ; and it will he well for the public to be on
their guard, a number of spurious 5/. notes being in cir-
culation.

The Grand Jury having been sworn and empannelled,
The Recorder proceeded to charge them. He said the
calendar was unusually light for the time of year, and he
was happy to find that it contained no case of a serious
character, nor any which was likely to present any legal
difficulty. It was, therefore, unnecessary to detain them
with any lengthened observations, and he remitted them
to their duties, explaining the mode in which a true bill
must be found.

The Grand Jury then retired, and shortly afterwards,
several true bills having been returned, the trials were

commenced.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS--(THIS DAY.)

The January general Quarter Sessions for the county
of Middlesex commenced this morning at the Sessions-
house, Clerkenwell-green, before Mr. Sergeant Adams,
Assistant Judge, Mr. Witham, and a bench of magis-
trates. The calendar, which is rather heavy, contains
the names of eighty prisoners for trial, thirteen of whom
are misdemeanants.
