CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
WANTED A JUDGE.--It may no doubt be within the
recollection of our readers that on the third day of each
session—generally Wednesday—the judges take their
seats upon the bench for the purpose of trying the higher
present
We believe the Learned Judges on the
rotarim ifno arl
tat:e
session are Mr. Justice Cresswell
and Mr. Baron Platt, but they did not make their ap-
pearance at the appointed hour; and after the jury had
been sitting in impatience, and the public looking on
with astonishment for some time, and the prisoners
wondering what the deuce was tho matter, inquiries
were made colicerning the cause of the absence of the
learned functionaries. It was found that they were both
absent from town discharging their arduous functions on
their respective circuits, and could not of course be pre •
sent. The Recorder was sent for, but we understand
the reply the messenger brought back was
that the Learned Gentleman was absent from town.
Mr. Commissioner Bullock, who had tried some petty
cases earlier in the morning, was next appealed to, but
with no better effect, as he was busily engaged at the
City Court of Requests. The dismay of Mr. Alderman
Gibbs and Mr. Under-Sheriff France under these dis-
tressing circumstances was very great. At half-past
eleven o'clockthe jury, whose patience appeared ncw
quite worn out, left the box for the purpose of getting
some refreshment. At length the Learned Recorder
was communicated with, and the jury haying been re-

summoned, he entered the Court and took h=is seat upon
the bench at twelve o'clock. The trial of Ftisoners
then proceeded with.

NEW COURT.
(Before the CoisnioN SERGEANT and Filr CrurstSs
MARSHALL.)
William Johnson and Edward Walker were convicted
of stealing a watch, value 41., a quadrant, and powder
flask, the props rty of Francis Harrison, in a vessel on
9-e Thames, and were sentenced, Johnson to six months
imprisonment and hard labour, and Walter to seven
years' transportation, he having been formerly convicted.
Several prisoners who had pleaded guilty to indict•
ments were sentenced to different terms of imprison•
men t.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
A number of the most respectable inhabitants of the
neighbourhood were sworn in this niorning as special
constables, serious apprehensions being entertained of
disturbances similar to those which originated recently
in a meeting at Trafalgar-square, arising from the
Chartist Demonstration on Monday next. The con•
stables were sworn in, in bodies of from six to twelve,
and provided with staves immediately. They were for.
mally sworn for the parish of St. Paul, Coveux-gar•
den, but it was explained by the magistrate that theft
authority extended over th© whole police district.

SOUTHWARK.—(THIS DAY.)
Henry Andy and Charles Hemming, described as
"Ethiopian Serenaders," were charged with assaulting
Inspector Froud, of the M division.

Ii appeared that the defendants hare been engaged
during the fair held in the. Thames-tunnel ; and that in
returning home the preceding night from that place of
amusement, they encountered the inspector of police,
who was accompanied by his wife. The defendants, 10
passing them, behaved extremely rude and tried to push
the inspector's wife off the kerb into the road ; her
husband remonstrated, upon which he was immediate],
attacked by the defendants, and struck right and left in
the face. The defendants then ran away, but were
pursued and taken into custody.
The defendants said that they had taken too much
grog after their exertions in the tunnel, and that if the,
misconducted themselves they regretted it much ; that
they were not aware Mr. Frond belonged to the police.
Mr. COTTINGIIAM fined Andy 205., and his cent'
panion 10s.

- The defendants said the penalties amounted to more
than their day's engagement at the fancy fair, and hoped
they would be mitigated.
The Magistrate, however, was inexorable, and the de-
fendants, not being provided with the money, were sent
to gaol.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
A great number of parishioners were this morning
sworn in, at their own request, as special constables.
William White, a carter in the employment of Mr.
Amadee d'Avenes, of Turnmill-street, Clerkenwell,
provision merchant, was charged with embezzling va.
rious sums of money, amounting in all to 1234, the pro'
perty of his employer.
It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor's
clerk that in one case the prisoner received 151. from
dealer in the New Cut, and accounted only for 13/., and
in this way all the defalcations hitherto traced had been
increased, and a Humber more were expected to be dis'
covered.
The MAGISTRATE suggested that they should select
three cases out of the entire, and upon these send the
prisoner to the sessions, which were now sitting.
The prisoner said that be was induced to commit the
first embezzlement to cover an amount of 141. which he
had lost out of his pockets, and it would be found that
his defalcations did not amount to more than was neces.
sary for that purpose.
The case was then remanded for the purpose of coca'
pleting the evidence on the cases selected.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
(THIS DAY.)
The Convention met at nine o'clock; Mr. M'Grath in
the chair.
Several new delegates took their seats. The reports
from the different towns were then proceeded with.
Mr. ASHTON (Northampton) said that, in consequence
of the legislative measures of the Government, there was
an utter prostration in the trade and commerce of that
town, and the inhabitants had in consequence of the
sufferings they endured, lost all respect for law and
order, and several meetings were held to take into con'
sideration the best means of bringing about a better
state of things. At these meetings the people loudlf
expressed their determination to obtain their rights and
liberties if they should die in the attempt. "We feel,0
was the expression of all, " that the men are undeserv,
ing of liberty who are not prepared to bleed for it:
They felt that, although the best means of obtaining
their rights was by moral force, yet they were con'
scieus that that moral force was greatly strengthened,
when physical power was prepared to back it.
Mr. LEACH (Manchester) said that Manchester was
much in the same condition as other parts of the country.
The working classes were getting every day more de'
pressed; the shopkeepers and the middle classes were
coming down to the condition of the working classes.
He was happy, however, to say that there was a feeling
of unanimity springing up between all classes, and that
that unanimity would bring about a better state of things
without any necessity of resorting to physical force.
The less they said and thought about physical force the
better.—(Cheers.) He was quite aware that on any dal
he would find 10,000 men in Manchester to hold up their
hands for war, but he was not so sure that when the
moment for action arrived they would be so ready to die
for their opinions.--(Cheers.)
Mr. PATTERSON (Burnley) reported the people in the
manufacturing districts in Lancashire in a miserablf
destitute condition. Public meetings had, within the
last few weeks, been held in Rochdale and other places',
and the general enthusiasm of the people in favour of
progress was extreme. Like Mr. Leach, he believed
that moral force was superior to physical exertion, and,
for his constituents, he would say that they looked to the
metropolis for the initiative, and as the measures of
London were, so would be the measures of the provinces.
Mr. WEST (Stockport) said that the men and women
of the district he represented were determined to have
change effected in their social condition. At present I
they did not earn five shillings per week for a family of
four persons, and they saw that law as-it at present e%'isted was only made for the protection of the rich, and
while they did not wish matters to be driven to extre'
mities between class and class, yet if it were necessarl
to the obtaining of their rights, they were ready to urge
a war of extermination.

Mr. SAMUEL BEDDINCTON (Staffordshire Potteries)
reported that trade in the Potteries was fifty per cent.
worse than ever he knew it. The manufacturers as well
as the working class were determined to obtain some
change in their condition.

SALE, from the same district, said, that the popu-
lation of the Potteries was above 100,000, and so ex'
tended was the distress among all classes, that the local
authorities declined granting summonses or warrants for
arrears of poor or labour rates. The expectation of
good from this Convention was great.
Mr. SKIERONY (Aberdeen) sold that the feeling of the
inhabitants of Aberdeen was in favour of monster meet-
ings throughout the country, in order to memorialise her
Majesty to adopt measures for the salvation of the trade
and commerce of the country.
Mr. REYNOLDS (Derby) reported that the best ft eling
prevailed among all classes of Liberals in that district.
They said that if the Government refused to listen to
the prayer of the petition they were then met to present
they would esteem it a declaration of war against
the industrious classes of this country.—(Cheers )
If next Tuesday they met there after the House had
rejected their petition, were they to go quietly back to
their constituents and sink supine under their wrongs?
—(Cries of " No, no.") He said no, no; they should
then constitute themselves a permanent Parliament, and,
it necessary, assume a hostile attitude.—(Loud cheers.)
They sympathised with the people of Ireland. The
generous people of that country had a right to their
own nationality, and the assistance of the people of this
country would be willingly rendered to aid them in
gaining it. If physical force were required for the
gaining of their liberties, would it be said that they
would be unable to do that which the French people
had accomplished so easily? God forbid that it should
be so.—(Cheers.) If 200,000 men assembled on Ken-
nington-common on Monday to accompany the petition
to the House of Commons, would they not be able to
overawe the 5,000 troops stationed in London, and to
effect, if necessary, before the evening was over, a change
in the Government of the country ? But they would
do nothing of the kind. They would march back
peaceably and quietly.
Reports from Paisley, Glasgow, Bradford, Leeds,
Hull, Carlisle, Merthyr-Tydvil, Ashton-under-Lyne,
Worcester, and London, were then delivered by the
several delegates, and the Conference adjourned till half
past two o'clock.

CHARTIST MEETING AT BLACKHEATH.—A meet-
ing was held yesterday on Blackheath for the purpose
of organising a body of Greenwich people to attend the
great display on Monday-. There were only about
250 present, and the usual resolutions were passed.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—• Yesterday forenoon, at
ten o'clock, an inquiry, which occupied several hours,
was held before Mr. T. Wakley, M.P., and a jury, at the
Plasterers' Arms, Little Clarendon-street, Somers-town,
concerning the death of Elizabeth Barrow, aged 63,
who had died of destitution, in a miserable apartment,
No. 33, in the above-named street, consequent on the
alleged conduct of the parish authorities, in turning her
out of St. Pancras Workhouse in a dying condition.
It appeared from the evidence, that the deceased had
been admitted to the v. orkhouse on the recommendation
of the district physician, but that she was kept there
three weeks without any medical aid, although evidently
in a very siekly state ; and then discharged without any
inquiry five days previous to her death, which from her
condition might have been expected daily. The miserable
room in which she died was occupied by herself, her
two nieces, and a child, without any furniture and they
were absolutely obliged to sleep on the boards. After
a lengthened investigation, the following verdict was
returned—"We find, that on the 28th day of March,
Elizabeth Barrow died from the effects of a natural
disease, and that her discharge from the Workhouse,
only five days before her death, was marked with circum-
stances of negligence and cruelty."
The Gazette of last night announces the appoint-
ment of John George Shaw Lcfevre, Esq., brother to
the Speaker, to be Clerk Assistant to the Houses of
Parliament, in the room of Benjamin Currey, Esq.; the
office having been declined by Sir David Dundas. It is
reported that Sir Denis Le Marchant, formerly M.P.
for Woreester, end Secretary to the Treasury in 1841,
and now one of the Under- Secretaries of State, will
succeed Mr. Lefevre as Secretary to the Board of Trade.
