KENSINGTON PETTY SESSIONS.

A damsel, named Rose Grace, a servant in the family of
Mr. Seward, of the Secretary's Office, Chelsea Hospital,
was charged before Messrs. Codd and Barlow by her mas-
ter, with having broken open his wine celiac and stolen a
quantity of wine.
Mr. Seward said that having on several occasions missed
wine from his cellar, he last week had a new lock put tm
the door, which had been safely locked by Mrs. Seward,
about o'clock on the previous evening ; but on his going
down stairs shortly after ten o'clock he found the lock
had been forced, and some more wine stolen. On ex-
amining the door-post, he found the marks of the instru-
ment by which the entry had been effected, and on com-
paring them with a large steel which was used in the
kitchen, he found they exactly fitted. He then charged
the prisoner, whom he had long suspected, with having
stolen the wine, which she strongly denied ; but on his call-
ing a policemen she confessed the fact.
Police constable Binwood, T 102, produced the lock and
steel, and corroborated the evidence of Mr. Seward.
Mr. CODA (to the prisoner)—What did you do with
the wine ? Prisoner (blushing)—l drank it, Sir.
Mr. CODD—Did any one see you drink it ? Prisoner—
I drank it out. of the bottle in the cellar.

Mr. CODD—How long did it take you to drink a bottle ?
Prisoner—l always finished it at once. I have not taken
any for a least a month, and I broke open the cellar to get
at the beer, for I was very thirSty. . ,
Mr. Seward explained that the beer had b!en plaCed
under lock and key, in consequence of the prisoner having
emptied a nine-gallon cask of home-brewed ale;.in less than
five days.
The Bench then fined her 205., and in default of pay-
ment to be committed to the House of Correction for
21 days.

In the course of the afternoon her master paid the fine
for her, and took her back into his service.

EXECUTION OF A NEWAB IN TUE EAST IN-
DIES. -( Extract of a letter.)—The Newab Shunsoodeen, for
the murder of Mr. Fraser, was executed at Delhi on October
Bth. This is the fist Newab that has been bung since the
English have had the sway in India, and is a great stretch of
power. The Newab was brought out in a palanquin, under a
strong escort. On arriving at the foot of the gallows, he got
out of the palkee, and instantly walked up the ladder upon the
scaffold. I was so close that I could see everything. He was
dressed in a plain muslin dress, and appeared about twenty-
eight years of age, very stout and fair. On reaching the drop,
the executioners came towards him, when he held up his arms
to be tied, repeating prayers to himself, but not speaking a
word to any one ; on being pinioned, the red cap was drawn
over his eyes, and the executioner, having fixed the noose, de-
scended. The civilian superintending then gave the word,
draw," and down he went. His chest heaved, and his legs
were contracted two or three times only ; he must have died
without the least pain, and never did a man die with more
courage, not a nerve or muscle betraying any emotion. The
whole execution lasted two minutes. After hanging an hour
and ten minutes, he was carried away to be buried. There
was not the least disturbance, although it was said there would
be an attempt at rescue.

LIGHTING STEAM-BOATS WITH GAS.-A stenn
vessel is fitting in the river to be lighted with gas, on a plan
suggested by Lieut. hgledue, R. N. Two retorts are placed
in the fires under the boilers, about two hours before dark,
which will supply gas sufficient to burn the whole night—
lighting the cabins, engine-room, and mast head. This may
be fitted at a trifling expense and without the slightest danger,
the whole of the apparatus being on deck. Frequent accidents
have occurred from steam vessels not being properly lighted
at night.--Liverpool ,C,tlficlard,
