CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

• OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
Two men, named Bulipit and Hawkes, were convicted
of having stolen a sack of flour.

The charge was, that one of the prisoners being a ser-
vant of a miller at Deptford, the other prisoner having
paid for a sack of flour, had substituted a sack of mid-
dlings flour. Sentence deferred.
Isaac Hart, convicted upon Friday night, was brought
up and sentenced to be transported for 14 years.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
William Mayhew, 25, compositor, WM. Edney, 22,
labourer, and Ann Pryor, 24, married, were indicted for
burglary, in the dwelling-house of William Pursell, and
stealing therefrom several pairs of boots.
The facts were briefly these :—Prosecutor is a shoe-
maker in Holywell-street, and the two male prisoners,
were seen by the police, upon the morning of the sth
of November, springing the shutter of the prosecutor's
house, whilst the woman kept watch up a court where
some of the prisoners lived.

They were all found guilty, and sentenced—Edney to
four years' penal servitude, and the others to 12 months
and hard labour.

THE MAIL PACKETS.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY.

The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Parana, Cap-
tain Hast, arrived this morning, about nine o'clock,
from the Thames, where she has been undergoing ex-
tensive alterations and repairs. The result of her run
round is highly satisfactory, and there is no doubt that
the Parana will be equal to most of the fastest ships in
the feet.
The Tay has also arrived from Portsmouth, and the
completion of her repairs will be proceeded with imme-
diately.
The Clyde-built screw-steamer Barwon lying in the
East India Docks, has had her name changed to that of
the Alma. She has also been taken up by Government,
and will be placed at the disposal of the War Office for
the conveyance of the whole of the staff officers ordered
for the Black Sea.
