CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

• NEW 'COURT.
Jaws Day was indict<xl for stealing a gold watch and
appendages, value 12/., the property of Mr. J. P. Gottick,
of No. 66, Wood-street, Cheapside, and George Day, his
cousin, was indicted for felpniously receiving the same, well
knowing it to have been storen. "
Mr. Gottick, about twelve o'clock on the night of the
27th of December, hired a cab in Long-acre to go to his
residence in Wood-street. He had been drinking slightly
in the morning ; but he was perfectly sober at the time.
He had his watch in his pocket, and after having travelled
yart of the distance he fell asleep, and on waking discovered
himself in the cab at Battle-bridge. He found the string
of his guard had been cut, and his watch stolen. He then
gave the prisoner,into custody, but no property was found.
In his cross-examination by the prisoner, he said he was
not in liquor at the time. He did not get out and speak
to any person from the time that he got into the cab until
he missed his watch. He did rot see any female after he
saw the prisoner. He did not desire him to drive to Maiden
Lane, Battle-bridge, nor did he ever mention the name of
that place.
Charles Knott, a Police Sergeant of the N division, was
on duty in Maiden-lane, and was called by the prosecutor,
who said that he had been robbed. The gentleman was
sober, and as the prisoner James Day drove very hard, he
was obliged to lay hold of the horse's bridle to stop him.
Charles Day, cousin to the prisoner James Day, and bro-
ther to the prisoner George Day, saw James Day on Tues-
day last in Hatton-garden, and he desired him to got° the
prosecutor, and say that he would give him up the property
if he would not prosecute. James Day added that he knew
nothing about the watch since George Day had it.
George Day observed," He's my brother, and wants to
sell me."
James Day exclaimed," He has come here to swear for
the sake of his expenses."
The shopman to Mr. Benton, a pawnbroker, produced a
seal and key which he had pledged at their house. To
, the best of his knowledge and belief they were pledged by
George Day. The address given to the fictitious name of
Smith was the residence of the prisoner.
James Davis, a police constable, proved that about a
fortnight ago, the prisoner George Day was given into his
custody on another chart-re. He searched a stable occupied
by the prisoner George Day, and there found a box which
on being opened, contained a watchkey and chain, which
were identified by the prosecutor.
The Jury found a verdict of Guilty against James
Day, but acquitted George Day.
The prisener was then sentenced to be transported for the
term of his natural life.
The Court adjourned at six o'clock.

THE IMPROVISATRICE.—WC observe that one of
Mr. Colburn's earliest Windsor publications is to be a Work
from the delightful pen of MISS Landon, the very announce-
ment of the title of which cannot fail to draw a host of ap-
plicants. This new production is called Traits and Trials of
Early Life.M
'bether it be the traits and trials of the early
life of the fair authoress, or a series of portraitures drawn from
her general observations upon, and experiences of, life and
manners, we are in doubt ; but, in either case, we may anti-
cipate a volume possessing the highest interest, and as such we
congratulate the public on its promised appearance.
Mr. Bannerman, by snaking a proper use of the cir-
cumstances under which the Aberdeen Schools Bill was de-
feated, will have the merit not only of advancing the reason-
able claims of his own constituents,
.but of destroying a sys-
tem of legislation as absurd as it is vicious.—Aberdeen Herald.

Lord COLE brought up the Report on the Ulster
Canal Bill.
On the motion of Mr. LOWTHER, the York and
North Midland Railway Bill was read a third time and
passed.
Mr. TOWNLEY moved the third reading/of the Over
Inclosure Bill.
Dr. BOWRING felt bound to oppose the passing of
this Bill. There was scarcely five acres of waste land in
the whole parish, which could be of little importance to the
five great proprietors who were the promoters of the Bill ;
though, to the poor, it was of incalculable advantage, and,
if taken away, many of them would be obliged to go to the
workhouse. He hoped the poor would find defenders in
thet House, they could not do so, so easily as the rich
could employ counsel, therefore he hoped the Bill would
not pass.
The matter here suddenly dropped. Whether the Bill
was read or not it was impossible to say.
Mr. BOWES moved that the South Durham Railway
Committee have leave to report up to the 17th June.
Mr. PEASE moved that they might have leave to sit
during the hollidays.
Lord STANLEY opposed the motion, but was not
heard in the gallery.
Mr. D. W. HARVEY said, that to comply with his
motion would be tantamount to a repeal of part of the re•
gulation upon Railways.—(Hear.( The motion was, that
the South Durham Committee have an extension of time
to make their report. It appeared to him that no audible
reason had been given—(A laugh)—the conversation that
was carried on across the table respecting the motion, was
wholly inaudible.) There had been a good deal of compa-
ratively silent conversation, but if there were any grounds
for the motion it was desirable that the House should hear
them. Unless the motion wlts a matter of course, the
House ought to hear the facts and the reasons assigned for
the motion. There was a recognised regulation of the House
that no report should be received upon a Rail-road Com-
mittee after the 6th June, and this motion being to extend
the period to the 17th, some reason should be given for it.
The motion with which they had complied in the Brighton case
was not an analogous case to the present, inasmuch as in
the Brighton Committee there were two conflicting lines
and two contemplated lines, referred to them. There were
four lines to be adjudicated iy con-
sumed more of time then cam, scribed
and therefore that case justif whole-

as there a similar applie; ,s the
House would proceed to were
altogether useless. He we, whe-
ther, in point of fact, there wou.- _ Jnience
in this mode of proceeding,V.—when a Committee was
desirous of making an appigation of this nature, they should
present a special report, stating the grounds of the applica-
tion, the number of days they had sat, of the witnesses exa-
mined, and whether the report had beeniagreed to by the
whole of the Committee, or if not, by what proportion of it,
and on that Report being printed with the votes, the
House would be able to come to a fair and reasonable de-
cision.—( Hear, hear.)
Sir M. W. RIDLEY concurred in all that had fallen
from the Speaker, but trusted that under the very pecu-
liar circumstances in which the Committee were placed, the
House would grant them a further extension of time. .
After a full observations from Lord STANLEY and Sir
J. GRAHAM,

Mr- BOWES gave notice that he should renew his ap-
plication on Tuesday week.
DUNDEE AND NEWTYLE RAILWAY.
On the motion of Mr. CHALMERS, the Dundee and
Newtyle Railway was read a third time and passed.
GLASGOW AND FORFAR RAILWAY.
Mr. HOPE JOHNSTON brought up the Report of
the Committee on the Glasgow and Forfar Railway Bill.
MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY.

On the motion of Lord STANLEY, the Manchester
and Leeds Railway Bill was read a third time, and passed.
NEWRY NAVIGATION.
On the motion of Mr., BRADY, the Newry Navigation
Bill was read a thimPtime and ppssed.
Mr. PENDARVES brought up the Report on the
Panett Navigation.
Sir G. CLERK presented a petition from the Trustee
to the Earl of Str,ithmore, against the Tees Water Works
Bill. y.
The third ruff the North of Ireland Railway Bill

having been moved,
- Mr. Hurr felt that his duty compelled him to move
that the be read. a third time that day six months.
This was Stated to be a part of a great railway to connect'
the two capitals .of Great Britain ; but it went only 30
miles, leaving 100 miltiaAdone on the one side, and 200
on the other.
Mr. T. ATT WOOD seconded the motion.
Mr. PEASE said that of all the= speeches he had ever
heard since he come into the House, the one he had just
heard astonished him'the most. 'He would only ask the
Hon. Member whether he bad ever hear&or read the evi-
dence that had been giveij,efore the Cdtp,mittee
Mr. HUTrtuuld asstf6a his Hon. Friend that he was
not in the habit of stating what was incorrect. He had
been several tim..‘s in the comini4te-room, and had heard
quite sufficient from the evide*of several persons there
sufficiently to verify the fact related.
Mr. PEASE did not reeollak, seeing the lion. Member
momthan three or four times in thACommitte-room, awl
that only for tan minutes together. There had been several

engineers examined, arid tiiey.l)ad all united that it was
one of the best ;lines itat ctiiald have been suggested.
The design and estimates were approved of. There had
ken no division in the Committee on the subject ; and
now, when everything had been approved of by the Com-
mittee, a new line was suggested.
Mr. A. TREVOR, had never in his life heard of any
measure the necessity and obvious justice of which was
more clearly proved. He could not believe that there
would be any serious opposition to a measure which was so
loudly called for by the county of Durham.
Mr. H. HUGHES protested against the measnrc, and
would most cordially unite in opposing it.
Mr. BOWES would merely state, that it was his inten-
tion to vote for the third reading, but lie did so entirely in
deference to the opinions of his constituents.
