SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY

The adjourned quarter sessions for the county of
Surrey commenced this morning at the Court-house,
Newington Causeway, before J. W. Freshfield, Esq.,
and a full bench of county magistrates. The calendar
contained the names of only twenty prisoners.
Thomas Swaisland was indicted for stealing at Saint
Sayiour's, Southwark, a silver watch, the property of
Peter Cornish.

The prosecutor, a very old man, said that the prisoner
had lodged in his house for some time, but owing to his
being out of employment he latterly allowed him to live
with him through charity. On Thursday the prisoner
absconded, taking the watch in question off the mantel-
shelf in the kitchen. lie was apprehended with the
watch in his possession.
Verdict—Guilty. sentence six months' hard labour
at Guildford.

DREADFUL MURDER.-(THIS
MORNING )

This morning the public thoroughfare of Blackfrisrs-
road was the scene of a most atroAoui murder. Between
three and four o'clock the inhabitants were alarmed by
hearing loud cries of murder from a female near to Row-
land Hill's Chapel. The policemen on duty, Benjamin
Homer, 169 M, and John Meek, 48 M, immediately ran
in that direction, and on reaching the corner of Char-
lotte-street, they found the female whose cries had
attracted their attention, and two men, one of whom was
lying on the ground. Upon seeing the policemen the
woman called out, "This man has murdered my hus-
band," at the same moment pointing to him. Homer
immediately seized the man, and on examining him
found a long Spanish knife (open) in his coat-pocket,
completely covered with blood ; while Meek raised
the other man from the ground, some slight
signs of life still remaining. Upon opening his
dress he was foudd to be stabbed to the heart, his under
clothing being completely saturated with blood. A cab
was instantly called, and the wounded man placed in it,
and conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital (es he still
breathed), but before reaching it life was extinct. The
murderer made no effort whatever to escape, and was
conveyed to the Southwark station-house.
The deceased's name is Lumboyle, a biscuit baker in the
City, and his assassin is a potman, employed frequently
at the Mitre Tavern, in Broadwall, Blackfriars. The
quarrel is supposed to have originated in default of the
Payment of a debt of 55., the murderer being well
known in the neighbourhood as a desperate character,
going under the cognomen of " Fubbs," which was the
Only name that could be ascertained by the reporter.
