SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY•)

SIMPSON V. HEMSWORTII.
This was the only case set down for hearing, and
was understood to be connected with sporting affairs'
The record was withdrawn under peculiar circuur
stances. It appeared that the witness who was to be
called had been subpoenaed on both sides, each party
considering himself entitled not only to his evidence
but his safe custody ; the altercation became very
warm, when the witness gave an explanation which
upset the plaintiff's case, as the attorney withdrevl
the record, declaring he was dead beat now, but that
he would certainly indict the witness for obtaining
guinea under false pretences, for he had completely
turned round in his tale.
The witness said, if his words had been twisted to
suit a particular purpose he could not help it, and be
would take the consequences of accepting a guinea
when offered.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before the CHIEF BARON and Mr. Justice
CRESSWELL.)
UTTERING COUNTERFEIT COlN.—Mary Ann John'
son, a married woman, aged 36, and who had
an
infant in her arms, was indicted for uttering cowl'
terfeit coin.
Mr. Bodkin conducted the prosecution, and the
prisoner was defended by Mr. Payne.
A police-constable stated that the prisoner was
tried in April, 1842, under the name of Mary Are
Allen, for uttering base coin, and convicted of tue
charge.
A witness stated that the prisoner on the 2a of
October last went into the King of Prussia public'
house, Stratford, and called for half a pint of beer, In
payment of which she gave half•a-crown, and IT:
ceived back the proper change. The coin was sum
sequently found to be counterfeit.
stated
A person of the name of Burtenshaw also sta
that the prisoner purchased some articles at his sbo',
and tendered a base half-crown.
Mrs. Middleditch, wife of the proprietor of the
Coaeh and Horses public-house, Bow, deposed to ° f
prisoner calling for half a pint of beer on the 2d
October last, and giving 6d. in payment, which sh°
found afterwards was counterfeit.
The female searcher at the police-court produced
two half-crowns, a sixpenny piece, and some copper.,
which were found upon the person of the prisoner.
Mr. Powell, inspector of coins, from the Mina
stated that the two half-crowns were counterfeit, an
were made from the same cast, and that the sixpence
was also counterfeit.
Mr. PATNE having addressed the jury on behalf of
the prisoner,
His LORDSHIP carefully summed up the evidence,
and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. BODKIN here stated that the prisoner had bese
convicted four or five times, besides the former eon,
viction to which reference had been made.
Sentence deferred. ro of
POSITION OF THE WITNESS-DOM.—III the cou.-
the
the,morning the CHIEF BARON directed attention t°
position of the witness-box, which he observed °°l4
not be placed in a less desirable spot in the court, I°,l
it was quite impossible for the jury to see the festur.e_
of the witness. He considered it, he said, of the
utmost importance that some, if not all, of the jai
should have an opportunity of seeing the counts'
nance of witnesses during examination. His Lord'
ship then (addressing himself to Mr. Alderman Gibbs,
who was upon the bench,) complained in a rather,

not attending to the complaints he had frequently
made on the subject. Subsequently the box was re:
