and entering the dwelling-house of John liolmfs,
of Broad-street, St. Giles's, on the 23d of Fe-
bruary, and stealing therein property to the
amount of 2QI. and upwards.

In consequence of the robbery having been
made known to the Bow-street potrol, a sales-
man, named Lazarus, gave information that the
prisoner had brought the duplicate of a pair of
trowsers, which he (Mr. Lazarus) was to re-
deem, and allow him the surplus. The Officers
having been wade acquainted with the fact
that the prisoner was to return, they attended,
and on his entering the house secured him,
and found on his person a waistcoat, part of the
property stolen. Property to the amount of 5/.
was now produced, and wortt to by the pro-
secutor.

The prisoner in his..defence said, he purchased
the duplicates of a person whom he (lid net
know, and that Lie borrowed the money from his
master to do so. His master, however, did not
appear to substantiate this story. lie called no
witnesses to character.

Mr. Justice BEST summed up the evidence to
the Jury, who instan.ly found the prisoner
Guilty—Deatk.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—(`nus DA y).

This being. A'pp'al day, the Court were oc-
cupied the whole morning- in hearing appeals,
many of which were of no interest, except to the
parties concerned.

'HACKNEY v. ST. ANNE'S WESTMINSTER.

Mr. ANDItEwS stated this to be a'reinoval from S:. Ante's
to the parish of Hackney, against which an appeal had,.been
entered.. lie should contend, that as the parish which had
made the order was within the jurisdiction of the Westminster
Session, and as that Session had competent power to hear the
Appeal, that it ought to have been brought before the Magis-
trates at that Session. The Middlesex Session, he contended,
had no jurisdiction to receive the Appeal.
The CHAIR-MAY was of opinion that both Sessions possessA
a concurrent power, and that consequently the Appeal could
be sustained before either. If the Learned Counsel thought
fit he might make a special case of this point, and refer it to
the King's Bench.
Mr. ANDREWS—I think my road is clear. As -the Court has
overruled my cbjection, I will proceed with the case, and if
the decision is favourable, of course we shall be content; if
otherwise, I shall remove the proceedings by certiorari into the
Court of King's Bench, and there move the quas!),lg Gf the
order, on the plea of no jurisdiction.

The CitAIRMAN thought Mr. Andrews ought to dc.clarc at
once absolutely- the course he would pursue.
ANDREIrs declined so doing; and after some further
observations, consented to withdraw the objection. The order•
of removal was, in the result, confirmed.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—(Tars DAY.)
3 unomENT.--John Vaughan, an' insolvent,
whose case underwent a long investigation about 12 months
since, when he was remanded to amend his schedule, and
give an accurate account of his affairs, bat who, it appeared,
voluntarily remained in prison from that priod until the pre-
sent time without making further application,. now thought
proper to come up again and claim his discharge, when
examination was further resumed, and the insolvent .sworn t)
his schedule.

The COMMISSIONER in his remarks said that in thi.s
case there was a concealment of property, hut to -..vh:tt caent
they were unacquainted, whether it was great or small ;—ther-
fore taking the whole of the proceedings into consideration, tte
judgment of the Court was, that the Insolvent should pot be
entitled to his discharge, until he had been in custody for 4
period of Sateen Calendar Months, and kept within the wattle,
at the suit of one or more of his creditors.
