MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)

The December adjourned sessions for the county
commenced this morning at ten o'clock, at the Court-
house, Clerkenwell-green; Mr. Walesby presided.
The number of prisoners for trial was eighty-eight.
Mr. WALESEY briefly addressed the grand jury.
Elizabeth Thompson, about 13 years of age, pleaded
guilty to stealing two pieces of ribbon, value 75., the
property of Richard Hall.
She stated she had no father and mother, and took
the ribbon because she was hungry.
Mr. WALESBY said it was a pitiable case, but he had
no other course to pursue than the ordinary one. He
should sentence her to two months' imprisonment.
Henry Cohen, a Jew, was indicted for stealing a table,
the property of Edward James Cotsford.
It appeared that the prosecutor carried on business as
a cabinet maker, at 101, White Horse-street, and the pri-
soner carried on an indefinite system of traffic, at one time
hawking old clothes or oranges, smuggling tobacco, or
dealing in old furniture. The table was outside the door
of the prosecutor's shop about nine o'clock on the 14th
instant, when it was missed, and soon afterwards a
policeman informed the prosecutor that the table was at
the prisoner's house, where they both went, and found
that the table had been taken asunder and all the leaves
planed over. Fortunately they came before the meta-
morphis was so complete as to prevent the prosecutor
from discovering several marks upon it, by which he
was enabled to identify it as his property.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, accompanied
with a recommendation to mercy, and
Mr. WALESEY, in accordance with the recommenda-
tion of the jury, said he should only sentence the pri-
soner to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour.

THAMES.—(THIS DAY.)
James Buck was charged with stealing a half pint of
brandy, the property of Mr. Fellows, landlord of the
Crown and Dolphin public-house, at the corner of
Cannon-street-road, St. George in-the East.
George Bradford, barman to Mr. Fellows, stated that
the prisoner came into his master's house about nine
o'clock yesterday evening, and called for a pint of beer,
with which he was supplied, and for which he paid.
Witness was the only person in the house at the time.
Almost immediately after a female came in and asked
for a bottle of pale ale, and witness was compelled to
leave the bar for a short period for the purpose of pro-
curing it. As he was reaching the bottle from a shelf
in an adjoining room he " heard something running,"
and hastened back to the bar, where he saw the prisoner,
who had walked round the counter, and was in the act
of filling a quart pot from the brandy tap. fie had
drawn off about half a pint. Witness collared him,
when he struggled violently, and would have escaped,
but a policeman coming by at the time he was given into
custody.—The prisoner was fully committed for trial.
