THE JERSEY TRAGEDY.

SENTENCE ON THE CRIMINAL.—On Monday the Court deli-
vered judgment in this case of horrible crime, to the eff:Tt that
Marin should be banished the island for ever, never to return
under pain of death ; and that he should be sent to England to
be transported where his Majesty may deem fit. The whole
of his property is confiscated. The excitement that followed
the verdict of the Grand Jury is represented as exceeding the
cncts of any astonishment and indignation ever before -Ait-
nessed in the islanc?. The Press says—" A stronger and more
atrocious ease of wilful murder was never brought into a Court
of Justice ; never were the facts more palpable, evident, and
conclusive ; never was guilt written in nil-re crimson characters;
and never perhaps was there found a jary, who from mistaken
motives (we do rot throw the shadow of suspicion on their in-
tegrity) could acquit an assassin, under such circums anew,
from the pain of death; nor a judge so phlegmatic as to suffer that
acquittal to be recorded; we repeat 'justice hus been insulted.'"

PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS•

METROPOLITAN HACKNEY CARkIAriES.—Mr. Alderman
Wood's Bill for the better regulation of hackney carriages and
omnibuses, contains a provision for the appointment of a Re-
gister, which is to be in the Aldermen. A penalty or impri-
sonment for two months is affixed to the offence of wanton
driving or misbehaviour. Compensation also may be summa-
rily obtained for any injury arising from negligence. There is
a penalty also among a great many other penal enactments for
not having the vehicle and horses in good order, so as to se-
cure to the public safety, comfort, and room enough.
IRISH CONSTABULARY FORCE.—The leading features of the
Bill to consolidate the Laws relating to the Constabulary
Force in Ireland," is the breaking up of the old vicious system.
In principle it differs little from the Bill rejected by the Lords
last session. The force to be called into existence by Lord
Morpeth's Bill will weed out the Orange partizans with which
the Constabulary is now filled, as an oath will be required,
pledging each man that he is not a member of any secret or
- illegal society. The appointments are in the Lord Lieute-
nant. By the third clause, his Excellency is clothed With
the power to appoint an Inspector General, which officer Will
virtually make all the subordinate appointments. Clauses 23
and 24 give power to the Lord Lieutenant to appoint resident
stipendiary Magistrates. The expenses of constables are by
the 25th and 26th clauses to be advanced out of the Consoli-
dated Fund, one moiety of such expenses to be repaid by the
county.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

ROUSE OF COMMONS, AUGUST 12.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour.
Mr. BROTHERTON brought up the report on the West-
minster Small Debts Bill.
Mr. OSWALD presented two petitions from the proprie-
tors and lessees of print and dye works in Scotland, complain-
ing of the report of the Select Committee on the Salmon
Fishery ( Scotland), and praying that no proceedings might be
taken upon it. He understood a Bill was to be introduced
that evening, with a clause affecting the rights of the peti-
tioners, and he hoped the House would object to it.
Mr. P. M. STE WART, Chairman of the Committee,would
not then enter into a discussion of the merits of the clause in
question. The proper time for doing so would be when the
Bill he would that night introduce came before the House
next session ; then he and other Members of the Com-
mittee would be prepared to support the clause in ques-
tion. He would now only assure the Hon. Member that
salmon were as nice as to their water as were the punch-
drinkers of Glasgow.—(A laugh.)
Mr. A. TREVOR presented a petition from the proprietors
of a Joint Stock Banking Company, praying that private
banks might be subjected to the same investigation as they
were.

Mr. KEMP presented a petitio3, praying for a Ten Hours'
Factory Bill.
Mr. SHAW would not trouble the House now upon the
subject, as he had already stated his opinions, and the House
had thought proper to adopt them.
Upon the motion of Mr. LYNCH a Conference was
agreed to with the Lords upon the amendments of the Civil
Bills Court (Ireland) Bill,
Mr. WILKS postponed the presentation of the petition of
which he had given notice till next session.
ADJOURNNIE NT OF THE HOUSE.

Mr. BARING moved that the House at its rising should
adjourn to 12 o'clock to-morrow.
Mr. AGLIONBY wished to know what was the particular
business for which that motion was made; it was a most un-
usual day for the House to sit, and a most unusual hour.
Mr. BARING said it was for the purpose of disposing of
the public business, and taking unopposed Bills.
Mr. AGLIONBY wished to know whether it would he
competent for other Members as well as himself to proceed
with Bills that had been only partly carried through.
Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE made a few observations which
were totally inaudible in the gallery.
Mr. TREVOR wished to know whether unopposed Bills
alone were to be taken, or whether opposed ones would also be
proceeded with.
Mr. BARING said if the House sat to-morrow it would of
course he in the power of any Member to endeavour to bring
fcr.vard any measure he might think proper.
The subject then dropped.
MARRIAGE BILL.

Lord PALMERSTON presented a petition from the Dis-
senters of Witnbonrne, in Hampshire, in favour of the Marriage
and Registration Bills, and praying for the total abolition of
church rates.

PIGEON SHOOTING.

Amongst the distinguished individuals who have been shooting at
the Red House during the season are Lord Macdonald, Lord Albert
Conyngham, Lord Suffield, Lord Gardner, Lord Chesterfield, Cap-
tain Rouse, and Mr. Macleod. The latter Gentleman the last
day of his shooting killed 25 birds running at 32 yards rise, five
traps. Lord Suffield killed 18 following at 25 yards. The whole
of the Gentlemen have departed for the North.

An account has been published of the original cost,
expense of maintenance, and revenue, of the Railway from
Brussels to Antwerp, with the general results of the under-
taking, forming on the whole a docume
and that to Antwerp,ntofsomeinterestt
railway projectors and speculators. The line from Brussels
to Mechlin was opened in May, 1835,
which completes the undertaking, on the Ist of May of the
present year. The cost of the whole line, including the pur-
chase of land, with locomotive engines and carriages, was, in
round numbers, 179,0001. The expense on tho line to
Mechlin for the first year was 7,3501. The sum received was
14,3761., and the clear profit, after charging 5 per cent. as
0. During the month
in-
terest on the capital, was 3.1 per cent. The number of pas-
sengers during , the
tfibresttNyilcoalie•
I; n was e 5
was 6 3,
open,oo the number of pas-
soefol‘glearys last,:as when
101,000, and the sum received was 4,3131. Ac-
cording to an estimate prepared of the charges and income
from May, 1836, to May, 1837, a profit of 11 per cent. was
anticipated on the invested capital in addition to the ordinary
interest of 5 per cent. The average duration of the passage
from Brussels to Mechlin, 13 miles, is from 30 to 35 minutes,
including stoppages;
that from Brussels to Antwerp, 27 miles,
is from 1 hour 25 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes, including
stoppages. The speed originally calculated was two hours.
The fare in the coaches is 35.; in the waggons, Is. Before
the opening of the railway, from 15 to 20 diligences ran be-
tween Brussels and Antwerp, carrying a yearly average of
80,000 passengers, at from 2s. 6d. to 4s. cacti ; these have en-
tirely ceased to run, as well as the canal boats, except a few
for the conveyance of goods, for which the Railway has not
yet been employed. —Morning Paper.

LUMSDEN V. FRASER.

The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in the case
in which his Honour the Vice-Chancellor allowed a de-
murrer for want of parties. The suit was instituted for the
purpose of taking an account of the estate of a Mr. Farquhar,
to which the purchasers of certain parts of that estate had
not been made parties. The defendants put in a demurrer
to the bill for want of parties, and that demurrer was allowed
by the Vice-Chaneellor, against whose decision the present
apppeal was brought. His Lordship thought the decision
of the Vice-Chancellor perfectly correct, and dismissed the
appeal with costs.

uppased to have enjoyed a more familiar intercourse, will I
hear ample—we might say enthusiastic--testimony. •It 1
was in to witness Mr. O'Connell in the midst of 1
his family without reflecting that all the cheerful happiness
he enjoyed in the midst. of public excitement—and de-
pressed, as he was occasionally, with many public cares, as
well as personal annoyances—without a feeling of admira-
tion for the unobtrusive and gentle goodness of the partner
to whom he was indebted for these blessings. He has great
mental resources, his,enemies will acknowledge, great phy-
sical powers, and a buoyancy, a recuperativeness, if we may
be allowed the term, of character, which enables him to
endure hostility, and to baffle opposition beyond any man,
perhaps, upon record ; but we question if his home were
not peculiarly a happy one, whether these qualities would
bear him triumphantly through the course he has chosen in
public life.
It is upon these qualities, however, that Mr. O'Connell
must now rely. It is upon the exercise of these qualities,
and, we would add, their immediate exercise, that he must
seek for consolation for his bereavement. This would cer.
tainly have been the advice of Mrs. O'Connell. It is, be.
sides, the dictate of a wholesome sympathy for the menta
agony which Mr. O'Connell is enduring ; and it is, as he
will himshlf we trust acknowledge, the suggestion of good
sense. We say nothing at present of his public duty, be-
cause we would not just now press that topic upon his feel-
ings ; but we may be permitted to obserae, that the time
imperiously calls for action, that we are in the . midst of a
crisis which demands energy, and that his countrymen are
already calling aloud for his presence.—Evening Post.

Tue Dissenters who were present looked upon the exhi-

and any person who had seen the consecration of a Itomish
Bishop must acknowledge the correctness of the descrip-
tion. It wanted the dignity and correct getting up of the
C. t'iolie pomp, and had far too much of attempt at efict
for flose who reject such things as oTensive and profane.
It was Flat Popery!

By foliaged tracery combined,

'Twist poplars straight, the osier wand
In many freakish knot had twined ;
Then framed a spell when the work was done,
And changed the willow wreaths to stone.

Sham'd many a prophet and many a saint,
Whose image on the glass was dyed_
Yet notwithstanding all this, not ten people left the

DEATH OF DONALD GREGORY, ESQ., SECRE-
TARY TO THE ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY OF SCOTLAND.—
It is with deep regret that we have to announce the death
of this promising young man, which took place on Friday,
the 21st oh., after a very short illness. Mr. Gregory was
one of the younger sons of the late distinguished Professor
Gregory, and was educated for the legal profession ; but his
predilection for the pursuits of literature, and the interest
with which, from his earliest years, he regarded the deeds
of his Highland ancestors, induced him to apply his talents
to more interesting, though less productive studies. At an
earlyage he was elected Secretary to the Antiquarian So-
ciety of Scotland, which office he held till his death ; and
the increased energy and activity of that Society of late
years may be ascribed, in a great measure, to his zeal and
exertions. Of his extensive researches in this department,
of the accuracy of his information, and clearness of intellect,
he had given to the public but amall specimen in a work
lately published, entitled " A History of the Highlands and
' Islands of Scotland ;" a subject which may be said to have
been untouched by any previous historian; MF, Gregory-
was preparing another vnitnrie ff,r. li,e press, which, as it was
intended to illustrate more particularly the manners and cus-
toms of the Highlanders, and the variation of these in the
course of ages, would probably have excited a more pural
interest. It is deeply to he TPpnttg that the public) will be
deprived of any irther betctit from his ardent and laborious
researches. His death will cause a blank in the literary
body to which lie belonged, that will not easily be supplied,
and will be long and deeply felt by all who knew him ; in-
deed a deeper or more universal regret has seldom been ex-
cited than that which the loss of this yeting man

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings in Banco.)

THE KING v. THE TRUSTEES OF THE NORWICH AND

WALTON ROADS.

This was a rule, calling upon the trustees .appointed un-
der an Act, passed in the third year ofhis present Majesty's
reign, to provide for repairing certain roads ; and also un-
der an Act of Parliament., the 3d George I V., for amend-
ing the laws for the regulation of turnpike trusts, to show
cause why a writ of certiorari should not issue, directing
them to return to this Court certain proceedings of an in-
quisition taken before three of the trustees. The rule had

been obtained on the ground of several objections raised to
the proceedings of the trustees, in taking possession of cer-
tain premises, and impanelling a jury to assess damages.
Mr. KELLY (with whom was Mr. Palmer) now appeared
to show cause against the rule. The Learned Gentleman
contended that by the 87th section of the 4th Geo. IV.,
which provided that where any party felt himself aggrieved
by the proceedings before the inquisition, he may appeal to
the Justices at the next Quarter Sessions, whose determi.
nation shall be final, and shall not be removed by certiorari,
or any process whatever, into the superior Courts:
Mr. ANDREWS (with whom was Mr. Austin) were
heard in support of the rule. The arguments on both
sides were extremely lengthy, and of a very uninteresting na-
ture, as they turned altogether upon the construction of the
various Acts of Parliament.

The COURT having conferred for some time together,
Lord DENMAN said the first objection taken to the pro-
ceedings of the inquisition was, that it did not contain such
a notice as was required by the Act of Parliament—and
the cause of the King v. Bagshaw was conclusive upon that
point. It was contendod that the 87th sec. Geo. IV. took
away the power of issuing a certiorari, but that provision
applied merely to the acts of the trustees, and not to the
proceedings of the inquisition. Another objection was,
that in a case where the interests of five different persons
were concerned, the jury found a gross sum as a remunera-
tion for all, they being impanelled and sworn to assess da-
mages according to the separate interests cf each. On
these grounds the Court could not allow it to stand as a
judicial proceeding, it being in contradiction of the terms
of the Act of Parliament.

The other Judges expressed themselves in similar terms.

Lady, and the Misses Scott were in the boxes. Mr. Kean
sustained the character of King Lear with great ability.

SLANEY V. WADE.

This was an appeal from a decision of the Vice-Chan.
cellor, refusing a new trial "of an issue directed by the Court.
The 'plaintiff claims to be the heir-at-law of Robert More-
ton, who died in 1773, bequeathing certain estates at Shef-
field, in Shropshire, to Robert James Moreton, with remain-
der over to his issue, and in failure of them to his right
heirs. Robert Jones Moreton was a clergyman in Essex,
and he died in 1801 without issue, leavine, the defendant
Wade his executor and residuary legatee, he being also his
attorney. At the time the Rev. Mr. Moreton succeeded to
the estates in 'Sheffield, they were mortgaged for the sum of
4,000/. This mortgage Mr. Moreton paid off with his nwn
money, but he at the same time executed a deed of trust, by
which he vested this mortgage in Wade as his trul
Wade, therefore, at the death of Moreton, held the pro•-•
perty as mortgagee, and continued to do so up to the date
of the filing of the present bill by Slaney, when he put in a
plea, averring that Slaney was not the heir-at-law. After
various arguments in this Court, the matter went to a trial,
in which, on the strength of an inscription on the wall of
Shiffnal Church, connected with documentary evidence, the
Jury found in favour of the plaintiff. The Vice-Chancellor
being satisfied with the result of that trial, refused the mo-
tion for another trial with costs, and against this decision
the defendant appealed.

The case was not concluded when his Lordship rose at
two o'clock.

-VICE-CHANCERY-SATURDAY.

SPECIAL INJUNCTION.

At the rising of the Court, Mr. KNIGHT asked for a
special injunction in a cause of which we could not catch
the name, to restrain a presentation to a vacant chapel in
Wolverhampton. The householders had the power of
electing the clergyman, and according to the accustomed
mode, the election should take place in the churchyard, by
the electors entering their names there on a roll of parch-
ment. Upon the present vacancy a new mode of election
was adopted. Instead of conducting the election in the
ancient manner, the place was dividod into districts, and
polling booths were fixed. This was the 'matter of complaint
urged by the present bill.
His HONOUR granted the injunction.

QUICKSILVER.--A mine of liquid quicksilver has
been found in Haute Vienne. In the same spot a vein of gold
was supposed to exist, but it was not rich enough to pay for
the working.
THE FARMER'S GALLOPADE.--A farmer not one
hundred miles from attended the ball there one even-
ing of last week, and returned home in the morning about the
usual time of commencing to thrash. Having desired the ser-
♦ants to yoke the mill, he changed his clothes, went to the
barn, and took his stance to feed the mill, but fell asleep. No
sooner was the mill set agoing, and a servant had handed him
a sheaf to feed the mill with, than he took it round the middle
with one arm, and commenced a capering in imitation of a gal-
lopade, the other arm waving gracefully in the air. The asto-
nished servant seeing that that he was more likely to feed the
mill with his arm than with the sheaf, took hold of him, and
he being interrupted in his gallopade, awakened in a great pas-
sion, conceiving he had been insulted by one who was no gen-
tleman, but to his confusion he found he was in his own barn,
in place of the ball-room, holding a sheaf of corn by the middle
instead of a lady's waist, and had mistaken the noise of his
mill for the charming music of the musicians. The servant
having shown him how nearly he lost his arm in his caper, the
confounded farmer was able to refrain from sleeping till the
morning's work was over.—Ayr Observer,

BULLIVANT V. TAYLOR.

This case came on before the Court on Friday, but the
arguments were only concluded to-day. It was a bill and
supplemental bill, filed for the purpose of obtaining pos-
session of the title deeds of a small estate of forty-six acres,
situated at Ashby, in Northamptonshire. The facts of
the case presented no features of general interest.
His Honour
.the MASTER of the ROLLS decreed that
the deeds should be delivered up.
A short discussion took place with respect to the costs of
a motion and an appeal motion in the cause, the expenses
of which, it was ultimately decided, should be borne by the
plaintiff.

SKETCHES BY ~BOZ;"
With numerousillustrations by GEORGE CRUIKSHANK.
" Evidently the work of a person of various and extraor-
dinary intellectual gifts. He is a close observer of character
andmanners, with a strong sense of the ridiculous and a graphic
faculty of placing in the most whimsical and amusing lights the
follies and absurdities of human nature. He has the power too, of
producing tears as well as laughter. His pictures of the vices and
wretchedness which abound in this vast city, are sufficient to strike
to the heart of the most careless lipd insensible reader. The book
is richly illustrated by the modern Hogarth, George Cruikshank,
who has evidently surpassed any of his previous efforts."--Morning

REMARKABLE ELOPEMENT.—A young man, of rather
diminutive stature, who said that he was a tailor, in search
of his wife, applied to the Lord Mayor une.er the following
cire"lnst""ces was accompanied by Rangecroft, the
The applicant said that he had foUr years ago mar-
ried a young lady, who bad a child very soon after 'they

were united ; and of course whenever they had words, the
subject of the birth of the babe was sure to be started.
He, however, endeavoured to put up with the business ;
but at last she took it into her head to go to Sydney, and
she accordingly packed up her clothes and set off to Lon-
don, where she contrived to get the -means of defraying
the expenses of her passage; and was actually to have
s tiled that morning .from -Gravesend, if he had not been
informed of her intention by a female friend of her's,
and contrived to frustrate it. He followed her to
Gravesend, and not only seized her trunks and bed-
ding, but caught herself, as she scudded along
the road upon seeing him. He expostulated with her -upon-
the extraordinary step she was taking, and he thought he
had prevailed upon her to return to her home and her du-
ties ; but while he was looking at some object in the River
he gave him the slip, turned round a corner, and he never
set eyes on her since ; now, he believed that her object in
going away from this country was to make him chargeable
with the maintenance of her child, who had hitherto been •
supported by the father, and he thought it too bad to be
obliged to suffer the double injury.
The Lotoo MAYOR—Do you think it worth your while
to follow a woman who is so.willing to get rid of you ?
The applicant was willing to take her home; but where-
abouts to look for her he-did not know ; her passage had
been paid by a gentleman of respectability, whose clerk ac-
companied her to see her off, and who, when she disappear-
ed, wanted to take possession of her trunks, but was pre-
vented. Applicant had, upon the arrival of the steam-boat
in which •he came to London from Gravesend with the
clerk, delivered the goods into the hands of Rangecroft, the
officer.

The Loan MAYOR—And you want them delivered to
you?
Applicant replied that he did. He thought his wife
might be induced to follow her clothes, however averse she
might be to the conditions of getting them restored to her.
The Loan MAYOR said, that he had no objection to the
experiment, but he feared it would be ineffectual. He
then ordered that the trunks, &c., should be given up to
the young man.

bad, and convicted him in the penalty of .51., or in default
of payment, ordered him to be committed for two months

L'ALLEGRO

BY A WHIG.

Hence, avaunt, ill-mannered Spleen I
O! spare, gaunt form, and sallow mien,
Out at elbows, grim and gory,
And looking, with thy phiz so hoary,
Just like some old-fashioned Tory—
Hence, avaunt, thou ancient prig
I'm a well-fed, jolly Whig,
Happiest of the sons of earth
And the very soul of Mirth ;
I've no need of friends to borrow,
By promising to pay to-morrow—
(A proinise which is all a hum,
For such to-morrows never come)—
No, not I ; my prospects sunny
Flow in streams of milk and honey ;
Sawney, Johnny Bull, and Pat, - •
When we meet, take off their hat,
Compliment me on my size,
Praise my good looks to the skies,
And give me place, and pelf, and power,
(Generous souls) by way of dower.
Hurrah, then, lads, for a spree,
I'm your man for well-timed glee
Shall I shake my patriot fist
At the long-tailed Pension List ?
Scare a bigot with my frown,
Or knock an Irish bishop down?
While broad-shouldered brother Pat,
Marvellously pleased thereat,
Cries, like a Kerry boy of trim age,
"Janus, what a lovely skrimmage l"
Or shall I take a stick, and drub
The whole existing Carlton Club,
Just to hear the rascals roar,
And John Bull cry out " encore ?
Shall I do all this, or more ?
Yes, for I will yield to no men
In hatred to my country's foemen ;
Tories swear by church and steeple,
I swear only by the people ;
Hence I'm in such good condition,
(How unlike the Opposition 1)
Hence I'm sanguine, rich, and gay,
While the sun shines making hay,
And showing by my form so stout,

Among the many loyal and dutiful addresses, which
we were the first to suggest, which have been trans-
mitted to his MAJESTY from the various Corporate
English towns, thanking him for the late admirable
measure of Municipal Reform, we are glad to find
one from the Council of the borough of Berwick-
upon-Tweed, which is characterized by a spirit of
manly and respectful gratitude ; expresses " entire
confidence in the present enlightened and upright ad-
visers of the Crown ;" and adds, as regards Corpo-
ration Reform, that though " much improvement has
already been effected, much yet remains to be done."

The more we reflect upon the debate in the House
of Commons on Friday last, on the subject of Lord
DUDLEY STUART'S motion, for the purpose of
enabling the British people to judge impartially of
the policy of Russia, the greater is our astonishment
at the comparatively insignificant result in which it
terminated. We had indulged the hope that our
Government only waited an opportunity of expressing
the strong indignation with which the repeated per-
fidies of Russia had inspired it—of assuring the nation
that the Earl of DURHAM'S mission to St. Petersburg
had reference to the national resuscitation of Poland
and the protection of the Sublime Porte—and that,
in the event of the terms proposed by England being
rejected by the CZAR, Ministers were prepared to ask
Parliament for such subsidies as might be necessary to
enable them to vindicate the honour of Great Britain.
We cannot be persuaded that there would be any thing
impolitic in such a straightforward and energetic
course. The Russian Ambassador might possibly
remonstrate against a declaration at once so intelii-
-0 ble—and according to the strict etiquette of ,auto-
cratical diplomacy—so extremely, premature ; but the
Noble Lord, in repelling such a charge, might only
refer to the principles of our Constitution, and the
right of Parliament to exact a knowledge of our re-
lations with foreign Powers. Besides, why all this
delicacy towards a Government that has not scrupled

BRITISH SCIENTIFIC

ASSOCIATION.

BRISTOL, Tuesday
The interest the Association excites here, increases

most hourly. Every Section is crammed beforeti;l;usi-
ness of the day commences. The philosophers appear to
be highly delighted with the attention they receive, and in
return they amuse the inhabitants with their discussions.
There have been several lectures of importance to the
scientific world, but which would not be interesting to the
general reader, nor could be render them intelligible, with-
out drawings and figures.
The meetings begin at ten in the morning, and last till
three ; dinner is on the table at four, in a room half a mile
from some of the section rooms ; and at eight o'clock in the
evenings there are either general meetings in the theatre,
or sectional meetings. No time i; therefore lost, twelve
hours of the day being completely occupied.
This morning the different Sections assembled at their
places of meeting. The following is an enumeration of
communications read. The initial letters refer to the diffe-
rent Sections.

MARYLEBOIVE.

ROBBERY.—Yesterday Henry Palmer, alias Solonzons, a
journeyman baker, formerly in the employ of Mr. Bennett,
of Goodge-street, Tottenham-tout-road, was charged be-
fore Mr. RAWLINSON with having stolen 861., the property
of Mary Williamson, a servant in the employ of Mr. Lee,
the proprietor of the Hercules Pillars public-house, Great
Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields.
The evidence against the prisoner was rather extraordi-
nary, and is in substance as follows :
The father of the prosecutrix, who resided at No. 7,
Richardson's-buildings, Goswell-street-road, being on his
death-bed, sent for his daughter on Friday last, and deli-
vered to her the amount in question, which he had saved by a
long course of penurious habits. It consisted of sixty-four
sovereigns and 221. in silver, all tied up in a piece of old
linen. The girl having taken leave of her father for the last
time, proceeded home with the money, which having shown
to her master and mistress, she deposited in her box up
stairs. The prisoner, who was out of employment, and
lodged in the same house, by some means or other found out
that the girl was possessed of the money ; and on Sunday
morning he broke open her box, and abstracted the con-
tents. He then proceeded to the lodging of Henry Stir-
ling, a journeyman baker, who had succeeded him in Mr.
Bennett's employ, where he counted the money, and having
made Stirling a present of five pounds in silver, and having
had something to drink, he took his leave. In the evening
he went into the Sawyer's Arms public-house, in Maryle-
bone-lane, where, after having drunk pretty freely, he
counted the money in the tap-room, and obtained five sove-
reigns for the same value in silver of Mr. Macpherson, the
landlord. Mr. Macpherson's suspicions being roused, he
called in police constable 100 D, who took the prisoner into
custody just as he had quitted the house ; and on searching
him at the station-house upwards of seventy pounds in gold
and silver were found in his posseesion, tied up in a piece
of rag, which, upon inquiry, was found to be part of the
money which he had stolen from the prosecutrix, in the way
already described. Stirling, the journeyman baker, not
liking appearances, deposited the five pounds which the
prisoner had given him in the hands of Mr. Bennett, his
master, who here produced it. The rag in which the money
was wrapped was identified by the prosecutrix.
The prisoner, who declined saying anything in his de-
fence, was fully committed to Newgate to take his trial.
