MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY,)
(Berore Mr. Wrrua.st, for the Assistant-Judge.)
The August adjourned sessions were opened this
morning, at the Court House, Clerkenwell-green, before
Mr. Witham, ES chairman, in the absence of the As-
sistant-Judge. There were ninety-four prisoners for
trial.
Henry Grattan, aged 39, and David Griffiths, aged 42;
were indicted for stealing six pictures, the property of
Mrs. Eliza Matson, of Great Queen-street, Lincolus Inn
fields, picture dealer. The case made out by
the evidence against the prisoners was that-, the
prisoner Grattan worked in the house of the-prose-
cutrix, and in the employment of the person to whom
her son is apprentice. On the Bth of this month, the
son being at work in a room above, heard persons moving -
about in the apartment belonging to his mother, in
which the pictures were deposited; and shortly after-
wards, on looking into the room, he observed that the
pictures were gone. lie went out in pursuit, and in a
pawnbroker's shop in Long-acre he found the two pri-
soners in the act of bargaining for the disposal, of the
pictures, which lay on the counter. The prisoners (who
were both drunk) were given into custody.
Grattan said that he was drunk and did not know whit
he was about.

Griffiths said that they had been drinking together,
when Grattan said that he had some pictures to dis-
pose of, and he asked him to come and assist him to
carry them to the pawnbroker's. Griffiths agreed, and
Grattan took him to Mrs. Marson's house, which he
entered, opening the street-door with a latch key, and
conducted. his companion to the picture-room with the
air of a person who was walking into his own apartment.
Griffiths accompanied him thence to the pawnbroker's,
quite satisfied that the property belonged to him.
Two respectable harness-makers gave this prisoner
an excellent character, and the jury acquitted him and
found Grattan guilty.
The latter was sentenced to four months' imprison•
ment, but the CHAIRMAN told Griffith that in come•
quence of the character he had received, he left' the
court without any stain on his reputation.
