LONDON SESSIONS.

These sess;ons were held on Saturday morning.
The RECORDER having chargt d the grand jury, they
retired, and shortly afterwards returned four bills, and
were discharged.
VIOLENT ASSAULT.—Thomas and Elizabeth Scott
were indicted for assaulting Catharine Scott on the sth
of Novemhzr last.

The prosecutrix and the defendants lived in the same
house, and it appeared that there had been a general
fight, in which all the inhabitants of the house took
part except the husband of the prosecutrix and the
male defendant.

The jury found Elizabeth Scott Guilty, and Acquitted
the male prisoner.

The Ric ;nnxn said it appeared that one party was
as bad as the other; there was great violence on each
side, and the husbands were the only persons in the
house who did not take part in the feud. The rule of
law was, that if a man kept anything unruly or danger-
ous. he was bound to control it. lie should therefore
require the husband of each party to become answer-
ab!e for their wives keeping the peace, in the sum of 401.
each. No judgment was given.
Mr. CLARKSON applied to the Court under the follow-
ing circumstances :—ln January two persons, named
Ann Robinson and Joseph Smith, were conviet,d, on
their own confession, of having kept a disorderly hous
butjugdment was respited, the defendants being bound
over to appear and receive judgment when called upon,
but it was the understanding that they would not be so
called on if they abated the nuisance ; they had, how-
ever, opened another house, which had beam complaived
of as a nuisance; and the vestry clerk had served them
with notice
.to appear and receive judgment this day, but
on being served they laughed at the vestry clerk.

The RECORDER said the notice was, that the Court
would be moved to give judgment, and if the defea.dantg
did not appear the Court would be called upon to estreat
the recognizances. That wav no notice to appear, at
least only an argumentative one.

Mr. CisaasoN—lt is a common sense, notice, my
Lord.

RECORDER—Yes, but it is not a common sense law
notice; they must be served again.
Mr. CLARICSON—If they were lawyers enough to
know the difference, I am not surprised at their laughing.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,
MANSION-HOUSE.
Adolphus Stone, a well-dressed associate of thieves, and,
Jaques Voisin, were brought before the Lord Mayor upon
the charge of having robbed Messrs. Dodd, jewellers, of
No. 78, Cornhill, of a diamond pin of the value of 8/.
Mr. Francis Dodd stated that the prisoners walked into
his shop at half-past four o'clock on Friday, and asked
to look at some breast pins. The tray, which was in the
window, was placed before them, and on it were arranged
four brilliant pins together, amongst other pins. Stone
took up a mourning pin, handed it to Voison, and asked
the price, and afterwards asked the price of other pins;
one of the brilliant pins, which was worth 8/., suddenly
disappeared. The prisoners asked witness at what hoar
he closed the shop, and upon being told at half-past
seven, consulted together, and said that they would call
again, and turned round and left the shop. The witness
put on his hat, rang the bell for his brother, and fol-
loned the prisoners. The reason he did not attempt to
secure them in the shop was, that he apprehended his
property and his person might, in the struggle with two
able men, sustain damage of a serious kind, there being
nobody in the shop besides the persons already named,
except a boy behind the counter, who could have rendered
but slight assistance in such a case. He saw the pri-
soners in Gracechurch-street, talking to another man,
and spoke to a policeman, who took the hint. He then
himself, seized the two prisoners, and told the officer to
secure their companion. Voisin broke from his grasp
and ran away, but was afterwards secured. The com-
panion of the prisoner escaped.
The LORD MAYOR—Did they purchase anything?
Mr. Dodd—Nothing.
The LORD MAYOR—Had they about them money to
purchase articles of such value as you describe? Mr.
Dodd—Certainly not. I understand they had only three
or four shillings between them, a pawnbroker's ticket for
a shirt; marked a shilling, and a pocket-book.
Mr. Robinson, a solicitor, attended for the prisoners,
and ceosa-examined Mr. Dodd, but the effect was that
the case was made more strong against them.
Hub gin, a policeman, said he saw the two prisoners in
Gracechurch-street talking to a third person, whom he
knee; to be one of the swell mob, before Mr. Dodd called
to him, and had been watching the three. He had seen
Stone sat hour before in Gracechurch-street. Voisin
made a aright resistance.
Haydon, a policeman, said he had very little doubt
that evidence could bo produced from the west-end of
the town To establish the guilt of the prisoners in similar
robberies which had lately taken place there.
The prisoners, ahe observed a profound silence, were
then remanded till Saturday.
Richard Addis v, ho will discharged from the city
police 1, rive on the previous Saturday, was re-examined
on a chetree of having defrauded the city of London of a
sum of money as expenses, for travelling to and from
Cheltepham, to bring a witnes in a case which was tried
at the Central Criminal Court. It appeared that the
prisoner„ after the trial, applied at the office of Mr.
Clarke, the clerk of the arraigns, and received the sum
of 31. 2'se 6d., he being really entitled to no more
than hat, '-a-crown, his statement as to travelling by rail-
way to Cheltenham and back being all fudge.
The p risoner was commiced for trial.
BOW-STREET.

Thomms . _Russel Walk r, a very gentlemanly-looking
young nts n, was charged before Mr. Henry with an as-
sault on k r. Richard Gale, of 26, Carey street, Lincoln's
Inn.

The catnp!ainent stated that at about half-past twelve
o'clock tb at morning he was going home with his wife,
and was irery nearly opposite his own door, when he saw
ner and anutrer man on the opposite side.
There wa s no other person near them. Tte prisoner
called out. to his (complainant's) wife, in an insulting
manner. He ran towards the prisoner, and asked him
what he :meant by such an insinuation ? He and his
friend rats away, and turned down Grange-court. Com-
plainant at his wife then turned to go home, but the
prisoner a; Cain return d, followed by his friend, and
running at him, gave him a blow which cut his temple.
He then gave him another which cut his 1:13, and
knocked down. A policeman came up and he gave
the prism te. r in charge.
Mrs. G 31:e corroborated this statement. Her husband
was not cpt,te sober, but she was.

T 1.4 oner said that he did not strike the com-
plainant. IF any one had strurd: him, it must have been
his (prism st T's) friend. The latter was in attendance.
Mr. Ch at lea Price, of 16, Clement's Inn-passage, said,
that he ri.s passing through Carey-street, with his
friend, an d being "in humour fur what is vulgarly
termer' a lark,'" and seeing the complainant and his
wife on tho other side, called nut tu her. The prisoner
certainly tt.lno called out. The complainant then ran
across the Toad, and he, witness, put out
.his fist to
receive hi at The complainant running tow ards him
knocked h is head a,gaiest witness's hand, end fell by the
force of th e concussion. Complainant was very tip.y
Mr. HI- 3My said, that the evVeace of the prison' 's
witness w a not snfficiently satisfactory to justify him in
rejecting t 'tat of the complainant's. lie was of opinic n
that the blow was struck by the prisoner. He would
take into-:account the fact that the c..:mplainant was not
perfectly.zsober at the time. and he would only fine him
'l, or irr. 'default, sentence him to one months' imprison-
Iff complainant had been sober, he would
Lave inf tinted the full penalty of 51.
The L sate was immediately paid,

soner, whe mho left in the house, was gone. He was
