CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Justice MAULa anci, Mr. Baron ROLFE.)
Win. Buglar and James Bathga(e, who were con-
victed on Wednesday of stealing a Bank of England
note for 300/., the property of Edward Wenman Mar-
tin, were this morning brought up to receive the judg-
ment of the Court, and were sentenced by Mr. Baron
ROLFE to ten years' transportation.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
Eliza Alexander was indicted for stealing nine spoons,
two sheets, three shirts, and one handkerchief', value
3/. 16s. 6d., the property of John Ellis, her master.
On the 31st of August, the posecutor, who re-
sides at Hoxton, desired the prisoner, who was
in his service, to bring up the silver spoons. She
did not do so, and he went down into the kitchen, when
she told him that she had pledged the spoons, and gave
him up the duplicates. He went to the pawnbrokers,
and found that in addition to the spoons she had like-
wise pledged the sheets and the shirts.
The p:isoner offered no defence.
The Jury found her guilty, and she was sentenced to
six months' imprisoument, with hard labour.
The Court was 'detained a considerable time this
morning in consequence of the absence of Counsel,
who held briefs in cases for trial in this Court, but who
were engaged in the other Court.

CITY REGISTRATION.
(THIS DAY.)

The Court proceeded with the revision of the lists
of the Livery.
Mr. Benjamin Hawes, M.P., for Lambeth, whose
name was on the list of the Haberdashers' Company,
was objected to by the Conservatives, on the ground of
change of residence. Ihe case was, however, post-
poned till to-morrow, to afford the Hon. Member an op-
portunity of substantiating his vote.
Mr. MYLNE stated that, upon looking at the number
of objections to the Livery, and considering the ques-
tions that had to be discussed, he was afraid they would
not be able to do more than get through the lists of the
Livery this week. He thought, thz:refore, it would be
as well at once to state, for the information of those
concerned in the Householders' lists, that he would not
commence them until Monday morning.

yV
It,
appearing- very doubtful in one or two cases
whether the parties bad been properly served with the
notices of objection, Mr. MYLNE expressed an opinion
that a great deal of difficulty would be obviated if
notice sent by a penny-post letter to the address on the
list were deemed good service.
