NEW COURT.

Mary Ann Hari was indicted for stealing a purse con-
taining 6i. 6d. on the 24th of February last ; and John
Cooper stood indicted for having feloniously received the
same, knowing it at the time to have been stolen.
Julia Nelthorp swore that on the Seth of February last,
while walking in Leadenhall-street with a young lad,
she felt the prisoner Mary Hart slip her hand into her
pocket, and perceived that she had stolen her purse from
it. She laid hold of the hand, but the prisoner walked
away, after having turned round and abused her.
The boy, with whom Julia Nelthorp hcd been walking,
appeared to prove the case. He had followed the prisoner,
and asked her for the purse, which he saw her hand over
to the other prisoner John Cooper.
Another witness, named Houdon, came forward to prove
the case, but his name had not been in the indictment.
He had been in the crowd at the time the transaction had
taken place, and had seen the purse in Hart's possession.
Messrs. Phillips and Doane defended the prisoners.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both parties.
A policeman here came forward and swore that the pri-
soners had been implicated in various acts of felony.
The COURT sentenced them to ten years' imprisonment.

The Dilner was served iu the State Dinner-room.,
This apartment, since last season, lies been greatly im-
proved; it has a vaulted ceiling divided into pannals
enriched with carved stucco work of a very elegant and
tasteful design, having three large circular compartments
in the centre. Many of the mouldings or ornaments in
relief have been gilt, and the entire ceiling and walls have
been fresh coloured. Pier-glasses or the largest dimen-
sions occupy the spaces between all the windows ! the
draperies also are new, and of the richest description,
the effect of the whole being very magnificent and striking.
At the end of the room is a square recess not extending
to the full height of the apartment, and•over it is an ante-
room, where the band of the First Life Guards were sta-
tioned last evening during dinner. The back of the recess
is fitted up with large mirrors in gold fraincs. The style
of the room is now in unison with the other State Apart-
ments.wit'i which it communicates. The Grand Hall and
Sculpture Gallery have also been embellished since last
year. All the capitals of the numerous Corinthian
columns have been gilt, and some of the mouldings in the
entablature, the soffitas of the architrave, and the ovolos of
the ceiling, have been gilt, thus relieving the whole of the
ceilings. In the Grand Hall four new lanterns, furnished
by Messrs. Perry, have been introduced, of a very hand
some design.
