MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
Susannah Davis was indicted for stealing a gold watch
the property of John Maule, from his person.
The prosecutor said he was walking along Oxford-
street, when the prisoner came up and persisted in walk-
ing by his side for about a minute, when she turned and
walked quickly away. He put his hand in his waistcoat
pocket and missed his watch, when he followed her and
found it in her left hand, and perceiving her drop some-
thing, he took it up and found it to be a pair of scissors
of a peculiar construction, with which he supposed the
guard chain must have been cut, as he never felt the
slightest motion when the prisoner was by his side.
The policeman produced the scissors, which were very
sharp, and of a make adapted to cut a guard chain
quickly without touching the side.
The prisoner was found Guilty; and

The ASSISTANT JUDGE sentenced her to nine months'
imprisonment, telling her the next time she appeared
at the bar lie should certainly transport her, us this
systematic kind of street robbery was becoming more
prevalent every day.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
James Campbell, a journeyman baker, was placed
before Mr. Hardwick, charged' with assaulting his em-
ployer, Mr. James Rickie, baker, 12, Newport-street,
by breaking his head with a stick.
It appeared that on the previous evening complainant
had occasion to go into the bakehouse, when from some-
thing he saw he taxed the defendant with neglecting his
work and robbing him of his time. The defendant, who
felt rather hurt at this assertion, retorted that his
conduct was not so bad as complainant's, whom
he (defendant) -asserted robbed his customers and
his workmen. Complainant, who admitted being a
man of hasty temper, was much annoyed at this,
and after a few high words attempted to turn him out of
the bakehouse. The defendant resisted, and said, " Oh,
if that is what you want I will give it you." He then
took up a thick stick and struck complainant several
severe blows on the head, inflicting several wounds, from
which the blood flowed in torrents. Complainant called
out for assistance, and after a short time his wife came
and tried to pull the defendant away from him; in her
efforts to do so the defendant struck her in the face.
Subsequently some of his neighbours came in and put
the defendant out of the house and gave him in charge.

Louisa Rickie, complainant's wife, said she was in the
shop last evening, when she was alarmed at hearing
her husband cry out for help. She went into the bake-
house, and saw the defendant strike her husband on the
head with the trough stick. She tried to pull him
away, when he turned round and struck her MI the side
of her head. She called in some of her neighbours, who
got the defendant into the street and gave him into
custody.
The defendant, in answer to the charge, alleged that
he had received great provocation. Complainant struck
him first, and he retaliated. His wife came and inter-
fered. and accidentally received a blow on the head.
Mr. HARDWICK committed him to the House of
Correction for one month, with hard labour.
