MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

A young man, named Thomas Herring, was found
guilty of stealing linen, &c., valued at 301., the property
of Lord Tuliamore. It appeared that the prisoner hod
been employed by his Lordship's laundress to carry back
and forward the linen she was employed to clean. On
the 19th April he was sent with two baskets, containing
the stolen goods, to his Lordship's house in St. George's-
place, but be absconded with the whole. He was traced
and taken into cnatody at Portsmouth, when he told the
policeman that the robbery had been for sometime planned
between him and another man. None of the property has
as yet been recovered.
Mr. PIIILIPS was for the prosecution—The prisorer
was without counsel, but in defence said, that while on
the way to deliver the goods, he set them down outside
the door of a public-house while he went in to get some-
thing to drink—that he got drunk, and the goods were
taken away by a person who he believed was nicknamed
"Joddy." He called some witnesses to character, but as
the officers were acquainted with him before, the Chair-
man sentenced him to seven years' transportation."
