(THIS DAY.)
The September General Sessions was opened:this
til°roing at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell-green
(Ricks 's Hall), before the Assistant-Judge and a bench
of county magistrates.
As the interval since the last sessions has been un-
Usually long (three weeks) the number of cases in the
calendar are numerous, upwards of one hundred, but
none of the charges is of much importance or interest,
!IcePt some of dog-stealing under the new Act, and in
these several persons of distinction are prosecutors."'"--
The Court was occupied the whole morning with trials
,
trivial character, being all on indictments for pick-

SURREY SESSION S—( THIS DAY).
Ole! e THozdAs PIICKLE, Esq., and a Bench of Magis-

trates.)
,Swan Palmer, 24, pleaded guilty to an indictment
°„gorging her with stealing, at Lambeth, a pair of boots,
""'e property of Michael O'Brian, and was sentenced to
etg months imprisonment in the House of Correction
"' Guildford, and kept to hard labour. There were two
°ther indictments against the prisoner.
,John Lawrence pleaded guilty to an indictment

to two months imprisonment and hard labour at Brixton.
Elizabeth Fuller, 27, was indicted with stealing, at
Dorking, a piece of silk and a gold ring, the property of
Thomas Muckle Stone.
st It appeared from the statement of the wife of
''",3 prosecutor, that the prisoner had been em-
aPloYed by her to make several articles of
"sees, and that while she was so employed, she
purloined the property mentioned in the indictment.
the charge was clearly made out against the prisoner,
gd her own brother proved selling the ring for his
sister

The prisoner, in her defence, denied any knowledge
!I the silk, and stated that she found the ring in the gar-
den of the prosecutor.
Ater some considerable r onsidoration, the foreman of
the jury said they found tl.e prisoner Guilty of stealing
the •
ring.
One of the jury here said he did not agree in the
Verdict; he thought there was a doubt, and he:should
give the prisoner the benefit of it.
The CHAIRMAN said they must be unanimous in their
lerdict, and desired the jury to reconsider it. If they
aad any doubt, it must be a rational one.
The jury again consulted, and ultimately found the
Prisoner Guilty of stealing the ring, but strongly re-
commended her to mercy.
The COURT sentenced her to twenty-one days' solitary
eenfinem nt.
Mary Bristowe, 21, a rather good-looking girl, was
with stealing, on the 23d of August last, at
Kingston-upon-Thames, a canvas bag, five sovereigns,
and three half-sovereigns, the property of Benjamin
'La frord.
It appeared that on the 23d of August, the prisoner,
,o_
u() it a lady of easy virtue, exercising her profession
at liirgston-upon-Thames, picked up the prosecutor
Who is a labourer on the railway in that neighbourhood
:11! the Angel public-house, at Thames Ditton, where
they had something to drink, they went to several other
public-houses,
and, in fact, spent the whole day in
drinking; ultimately, the prisoner hired a fly, and they
drove to Kingston, where they had more to drink, and
afterwards the prosecutor went to bed. The
Prisoner, after the prosecutor had laid down
„_ll short time brought him up something in a half-pint
Purl which he said would do him good. - When he
;Yank it he became insensible, and when he awoke he
found the prisoner and his money gone.
The prosecutor, on his cross-examination by Mr. Ro-
114180N, who appeared as a counsel for the prisoner, would
not: Swear that there were no persons in the room when he
7,'velte. The prosecutor had stated before the magistrate
'"at there were three men in bed In the room when he
%Woke, who stated that they had been in bed for more
than ten minutes.
Mr. ROBINSON addressed the jury for the prisoner.
The CHAIRMAN summed up the evidence, and
_ The jury, after a short consultation, acquitted the pri-
Winer who was immediately di-charged.
