SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAmEs.)
SMITH v. BINCIES.
The plaintiff is a farmer at Norwood, and/defendant a
gentleman residing at St. John's Wood. The action was
brought to recover the sum of 10/. ls. 3d. for milk, sce.,
supplied.
The plaintiff's attorney said the debt was contracted as
far back as 1843-4-5, but that in consequence of the de-
fendant having left the neighbourhood, and his residence
not being known, no action could be brought to issue till
now. The defendant had pleaded that ho was not in-
debted, thus putting plaintiff to a great deal of unne-
cessary expense, as there was no ground for the defence
which defendant did not now appear to support.
Evidence was adduced in support of the claim, and a
verdict given for the amount.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE.)
Matilda Wood, a young woman of remarkably fine
appearance, was indicted for stealing from the person of
Thomas Fuller three sovereigns and a half, his property.
It appeared that the prosecutor, though an Englishman,
resides principally
with his family in Germany,
he is the possessor of some forest land Pomerania,
under the Prussian Government, and is in the habit of
in where
coming to this country three or four times a year to ne-
gotiate for the sale of limber. On the evening of Monday
week last he was taking some refreshment at the bar of
a public-house in the Haymarket, when the prisoner
and some other women well known about that neighbour-
hood came in and solicited him to treat them. He did so,
and whilst they were drinking the prisoner (as hr al-
leged) put her hand into his pocket and drew out the
money, which, when searched at the station-house, was
found on her. When charged with the theft, she said
she had taken a sovereign out of his pocket for" a lark."
The Jury found her Guilty.
The prosecutor, iu a very earnest manner, prayed the
Court to " deal mercifully with the young girl."
The JUDGE observed, that although the prosecutor
lived. abroad, and had acquired something of foreign
habits, he retained his English feelings. He would take
the recommendation into consideration, and give only
half the punishment he otherwise would in such a case.
He accordingly sentenced the prisoner to three months'
imprisonment, with bard labour.
