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 he should certainly transport her, as this
systematic kind of street robbery was becoming more
prevalent every day.

SURREY SESSIONS.--(THIS DAY.)

were found guilty of stealing, on the 28th of October
last, sixty-three pounds of leaden pipes, the property of

he was lead into the commission of the offence by the
other prisoner, who was an old offender, and had been
convicted several times.
Trinder was sentenced to twenty one days' solitary
confinement, and Woods to seven years' transportation.
The latter expressed a wish that the term had been ten
years.

ARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)
Jamey Campbell, a journeyman baker, was placed
before Mr. Hardwick, charged: with assaulting his em-
ployer, Mr. James McKie, 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
be (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." Ile then
took up a thick stick and struck complainant several
severe blows en 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 on 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.

WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Robert Rounce and George Crane. guards in the em-
ployme❑t of the Eastern Counties Railway Company,

from a van belonging to the company, and fully com-
mitted for trial. The particulars of jthis case have al-
ready appeared. In the course of the examination the
solicitor to the company stated that the vans had re-
cently been plundered of large quantities of meat eon-
signed to the wholesale butchers of the metropolis.

for the relief of the poor in Ireland struck since the
29th day of September, 1846 ' • showing in each union
the amount in the pound of valuation which was
levied on the electoral division which was rated
highest, and the amount in the pound of valuation
which was levied from the lowest rated electoral
division, in respect of the same rate, with the name
of each such electoral division ; and also showing the
amount in the pound of valuation which would have
given the sum required, had the rate been levied by
an equal poundage on the entire union.—A greed to.

LAND).
Mr. G. HAMILTON moved for returns of the

and 10 Vic. c. 107, Poor Employment (Ireland),

sury to be expended in each county and barony in

count of the sums so sanctioned, with a statement of

ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL.
Mr. C. ANSTY moved the second reading of this
Bill. His reason for bringing in the Bill was to be
found in the preamble, which recited that, notwith-
standing the passing of former Acts for the relief of
the Roman Catholic subjects of her Majesty, still a
number of Acts were in force which it was necessary
should be abrogated. His object was to benefit the
Roman Catholics of Ireland, so far as was possible,
without affecting the interests of other existing estab.
lishments and institutions. The Hon. Member then
went into a history of the various measures which
had been passed from time to time on the subject of
the relief of the Roman Catholics, and showed that
none of them had given that full measure of liberty
which the Roman Catholics were entitled to enjoy.
The House had, by a majority, approved the prin-
ciple of the present Bill in the last session of Parlia-
ment, when a similar measure was introduced by Mr.
Watson, the late Member for Kinsale, and it was
only prevented from passing by opposition to some
of the minor details of the Bill in the Committee.
