and other parties for who►n he had obtained subpoenas
to attend on his behalf, were in attendance upon the
Court.

The CitatamaN said that the application was irre•
gular. The case in question was a misdemeanour, and
it would not come on before the felonies were disposed
of, and they would certainly occupy the whole of the day.
Mr. Dunn said he had another application to make
to the Court, which was that it would cause fresh
subpcenas to be issued for the attendance of Sir Francis
Burdett, and other gentlemen, and that the oflicer of
the Court should proceed forthwith to London, and
serve them personally, as he (Mr. Dunn) had hitherto
been unable to do so. He was exceedingly anxious that
those persons should attend, in order that his character
might be vindicated, and that was the only object he had
in the present prosecution.

The Magistrates said that they had nothing to with the
motives that influenced him in carrying on the prose-
cution, and they could only proceed in the regular way.
With respect to the subpceuas, if Mr. Dunn wished to
have fresh ones, he was, of course, entitled to them,
but as to allowing their officer to have the summons for
the purpose of serving them upon the parties in London,
that wa3 quite out of the question.
Mr. Dunn said he was very anxious that his charac-
ter should be cleared up, and Sir Francls Burdett could
give material evidence in his behalf. He had not been
able to serve him personally with a subpoena, and he
was afraid that he would not attend.
Tne COURT said that if he was not prepared with his
evidence, the proper course would be upon affidavit,
to move for a postponement of the trial,. The Court
would not take any further steps in the matter.
Mr. Dunn then said that as the trial would probably
occupy a considerable time, he should be glad if it could
be fixed for Thursday morning.
Mr. LOCK, who, with Mr. Chambers, is instruc'ed
on behalf of the defendants, said he would not consent
to any particular time being fixed, but in the state of
the business, it was not likely that it could by any
chance come on before the middle of the day on Thurs-
day.. _ _

.Tll3 COURT then directed that the trials should come
on in due course, and Mr. Dunn retired.
Thomas Edward ilal.4r, aged 17, was indicted for
stealing a quantity of plate, value 301., the property of
Miss Margaret Jane Taylor, a lady residing at Kingston.
Mr. Jemmett conducted tho prowcution.
The facts of the case have recent:), appeared. The
prisoner, it will be remembered, when pursued, jumped
into the river, and attempted to make his oscape by
swimming.
The prisoner pleaded guilty, and the Court sentenced
him to be transported for ten years.
