. .
; COURT OF (StIEESS BENCH, May 11.
THE QUEEN V' HOLT AND OTHERS.
This was an indictment preferred against the defend-
ant by a Polish gentleman named Wall. The substance
of the charge was that the defendant Holt, with was said
to be an attorney's clerk, had conspired with another per-
son to obtain money from the prosecutor under false
pretences ; he having represented that a writ had been
sued out against the prosecutor, and that he had de-
manded and obtained a sum of money from him, to
ptevent his being arrested.
After a lengthened investigation of several hours, the
Nry acquitted the defendants.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.:

OLD COURT.

Charles Hawkins, aged 30, a drayman, was indicted
;or stealing a watch and other articles, the property of
Thomas Davis.

Mr. CLARKSON defended the prisoner.
The prosecutor deposed that he was a beer-shop
keeper, and carried on business at Camberwell. The
prisoner was in the habit of coming to his houSe with
beer. On the 9th of April, he went to the house of a
relative, and when he returned at night his wife, upon
his going to bed, gave him some gin and be ler, and he
soon afterwards fell asleep,andwhen he awoke about two
o'clock, he found that his wife was gone, and upon
searching the house he missed a gold and silver watch,
a quantity of rid and silver money, and other property,
to the value of 801. He had been married to his wife
about five months at this time.

Cross-examined—He had got a great portion of his
property back. Had reason to believe that his wife was
most to blame in the transaction, but he had, neverthe-
k ss, taken her back, and she was now living with him.
Edward Ball deposed that on Good Friday the pri-
soner told him he should want his horse and cart to re-
move his sister's boxes, but that it would not be till ten
o'clock at night, as his sister could not get away before.
Witness drove with him to Camberwell, and he waited
for him at a public-house until half-past one o'clock in
the morning, when the prisoner beckoned to him and
told him to stop opposite the prosecutor's house, and he
then brought out some boxes and other things, and put
them in the cart, and told him to be as quiet as he could.
Witness then drew off to the corner of the street, and
shortly afterwards the prisoner and the wife of the
prosecutor came up and got into the cart, and he
drove them to the corner of a court in Grace-
church-street, and the luggage was taken out and
placed in a public-house, and he left the
prisoner and the woman there, and went away. The
prisoner told him that he should get some money from
" her," and that he would pay him in the morning.
Cross-examined—He had never been paid for this job.
The landlord of the Ship public-house, Talbot-court,
.proved that the prisoner came to his house and asked if
lie could be accommodated with a bed that night, as his
wife was coming from the country, and would not be up
to town until late. Witness sat up for him, and about
two o'clock he came to the house with a female, and
they brought several boxes with them. The prisoner
and the female occupied the same bed-room, and they
breakfasted together in the morning, and the goods were
afterwards taken away by a porter to the steam-packet
wharf. The prisoner paid the bill that was incurred.
Peter Kendall, a police constable, proved that he went
to Margate in pursuit of the prisoner, and found him in
a lodging-house there, in company with a female who
was in bed. He secured the prisoner, and on searching
the room he found a gold and a silver watch, and three
sovereigns, two half-sovereigns, and some silver. The
prisoner said tl at none of the articles belonged to him,
with the exception of the guard chain that was upon one
of the watches. In another part of the house he found
some boxes containing a quantity of wearing apparel and
other articles, which were afterwards identified by the
prosecutor, and among them was a canvas cash bag.
The prosecutor was recalled, and in answer to a ques-
tion from Mr. Ullarkson, he said that he was inclined to
have compassion on the prisoner, so far as his wife was
concerned.

Mr. CLAng.soN then addressed the jury at some length
for the prisoner, and said that however immoral and dis-
graceful the conduct of the prisoner might have been, yet
be felt satisfied after the evidence that had been adduced
Ilbo jury would be of opinion that he had no intention to
yob the prosecutor of his properly, and that he was not
aware that the articles contained in the bundles belonged
to him. They had heard what the husband himself said
upon the subject, and he was now plaeed in the unplea-
sant position of being compelled injustice to the prisoner
to cog his wife to state the circumstances under which
the property had been removed. The Learned Counsel
then called—

Mary Ann Davis, who deposed that she was the wife
of the prosecutor, and she now appeared to give evidence
with hiw knowledge and consent. She had been married
:.bout four months when she went away with the pri-
soner, whom she had known for seven-weeks only. She
became acquainted with him in consequence of his bring-
ing beer to her husband's house. She left her husband's
house on Good Friday, and before she did so she had
packed up different articles of property, but this was done
-without the knowledge of the prisoner.
Mr. CLARKSON—NOW, Mrs. Davis, I regret to be com-
pelled to ask you such a question, but I must do so—
who was the instigator of the leaving your husband ?
Witness—l was.

Mr. CLARKSON—Did you first propose that step to
the prisoner ? Witness—l did.
Mr. CLARKSON—Was the prisoner at all aware that
the property you packed up in the bundles belonged to
your husband ? Witness—He did not know but that
they belonged to me.

By the COURT—The watches were packed up in the
bundles. There was no money in the bag, but some of
it was in my pocket and the rest in a tea-caddy.
The RECORDER—How did the prisoner's guard-chain
get on one of the watches ? Witness—l put it on
myself.

The REconinEa—Who paid the expenses of the Jour-
y ? Witness—The prisoner paid them.
The RECORDER—Did he not pay with your husband's
money ? Witness—No, he must have had money of his

own.

The RECORDER—What do you mean by that—do you
know• that he had any money ? Witness—He must
have had some money.

The ItEcon DER-Will you take upon yourself to swear
positively- that he had money ? Witness—l will.
The REconuna—There was none of your husband's
money spent ? Witness—There was not. I took away
7/. Zs. 84, and only two shillings of it were spent.
The ItgeoanEtt—Are you aware that it has been re-
presented that you took a great deal more money than
the amount yod mention ? Witness—lf any one says
so, they say what is not true.
The RP:warn:a—Then you take upon yourself to
swear that the prisoner paid all the expenses with his own
money ? Witness—l do.

The witness gave all these answers with the most per-
fect effrontery, and did not appear at all abashed at her
disgraceful situation.

The husband was recalled, and he said that he could
rot tell exactly how much money was taken, but he was
certain that 15?. at least was stolen from him.
The RECORDER, in summing up, animadverted in se-
vere terms upon the conduct of the prosecutor's wife, and
said that the question for the Jury was, whether the pri-
soner merely intended to deprive the prosecutor of the
person of his wife, or whether he was aware that it was
lii pronerty thst was being conveyed away, and that he
bit isted in the plunder and afterwards converted a por-
iti.n of it to Ilk Own use.

li!4flie Jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned a
`,.'n114 of Not Guilty. _

_
The ftliCoat)i.:a ordered the property that had been
:411;1,1 to be doliverol to the prosecutor, and at the same
ame observed that he had been moat molly treated.

.Igittest feature of public int3rest.

TILE CROPS IN SUFFOLK AND, NORFOLK.--,
Tlw spring sewing of corn, pulse, and seeds; may be con-
'ilered as finished, with tke exception of 'barley, upon
line~ where the superabundance of turnips remained so
te, as to retard the necessary culture for barley sewing.:
..rae Lent corn.seed season has been successful, generally
present • may be regarded as one of the
earliest and best of seasons. The late rains have proved
-1;`-',Ileticial to ve,retation. Potato planting proceeds with
All the crops
upon the groundr present a
luxuriant. and promising appearance. The pastures,
I,,,iiitural and artificial, are so forward, that stock, both
b.4?alt and sheep, have been some time abroad. Hay and
'straw are in great plenty. The wheats are not, however,
in some places,.in a very forward state, and will require
a favourable and genial season to bring them to perfec-
Ii". The great quantity of keep will encourage both
.the reeding and breeding-of live stock, the price of which
is yet very high. Store pigs and mulch cows are dear,
and tine a ready sale. The fall of lambs has been satis-
factory.
Good horses only are saleable, but scarce, and
bring high prices. The price of fat meat does not equal
in proportion the cost of store cattle, which is yet on the
advance ; and in some inar:ets the quantity of sheep and
lambs has not equalled the demand.—lpswich Express.
GENERATION UPON GENERATION.—There
is at this time residing at Stock, a boy, named Hills, the
spp of an industrious labourer, who has five grandfathers
Wing. This extraordinary fact is thus explained.—Far-
row, who hal a father living, married n. young woman
named Waldon, whose father was also alive. They had
a daughter who married Hills the father of the boy, who
had a father and grandfither living. Thus Hills, sen ,
Jun., Farrow, sen.,lParrow, jun., and I'Vuldon.,
make the five. Their unite ages amount to 332. We
do not know whether the boy was favoured with a simi-
lar supply of grandmothers.-- Tyne Pilot
Ass-TORYISM.—PeopIe are poor because the
cot.dk taxed. The landlords tax the 'corn for their own
batted'. Therefore—The landlords work the poor like
• ketits of burden. Again :—They who tax the poor,
and make beasts of burden of them for their own benefit,
must be selfish brutes indeed. The landlords do this :
therefore, the landlords are selfish brutes indeed.—Even-
VAWICK.-- On Tuesday morning, a heavy
shower of snow fell here, which has been succeeded by
cold uagenial weather, with heavy rains,—Tyne Pilot.
