The Marchioness of Queensberry was then examined
—She resided at Coton House, near Rugby. She had
corresponded with the male prisoner, and sent him
checques on Coutts's. Several eheqm s and letters were
here shown to her Ladyship, which she said were not
in her handwriting. She had received several letters
from the prisoner, and she believed the letters and cheques
were in his handwriting. The signature was a bad imi-
tation of her handwriting. The letters produced were
written to her by a person who called himself Pearce,
but she had never seen him.

Mr. Barnaby, the chief clerk at Bow street, took down
in writing the statement made by the female prisoner at
that office, which was to the effect that she met a gentle.
man in the Strand, of whom she asked the way to White-
chapel, when he asked her to take a paper to Coutts's,
which she did, when she was taken into custody. Wit-
ness also took down the statements made by the male
prisoner, in which he denied ever forging the signature
of the Marchioness of Queensbury, and stated that his
wife had made the statement she did in order to save his
name coming before the public.
John Winter proved that the two prisoners lived
together as man and wife, and came to him in July last,
and took a house from him. They both went by the
name of Pearce.

James Young, a solicitor, of Bloomsbury, had known
the male prisoner for eighteen years. Had been in the
habit of corresponding with him, and had seen him sign
his name. He believed the body of the cheque now
produced, and the letters, to be in the male prisoner's
band-writing
Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTYNE—It was only
till within the last year or two that he had had any
correspondence with the prisoner. He had latterly seen
him write his name frequently.
Mr. John Bell, a reporter, was acquainted with the
prisoner, and had frequently seen him write. He be-
lieved the cheque produced was in the prisoner's hand-
writing. The letters produced witness thought, to the
best of his belief wPre in the prisoner's hand writing.
Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTYNE—The prisoner
and witness had never had any quarrels. Witness had
not volunteered to give evidence.
Thomas John Green, another reporter, knew th© pri-
soner, and stated his belief that the cheque and letters
were in the male prisoner's handwriting.
Mr. Watson, who had known the male prisoner
eighteen years, gave similar evidence.
The letters and cheques were then put in, and this
closed the case for the prosecution.
Mr. BALLANTYNE addressed the jury for the prisoners.
The LORD CHIRP BARON summed up at some length,
and

--
The jury, after a short consultation, found both pri-
soners Guilty.
Pearce implored the Court to suspend passing sen-
tence, in order that he might adduce evidence and pro-
duce testimonials as to his conduct through life. He
had filled several most respectable situations, both at
home and abroad, and had reared eight children by his
own exertions. _ _ _

The LORD CHIEF BARON said he would postpone
passing sentence until to-morrow morning, when the
prisoner could produce testimonials as to his former
course of life. _ _ _

The prisoner trusted that the Court would also allow
his wife to produce evidence of her character.
The LORD CRIEF BARON thought that was unneces-
sary. The moral guilt being with the male prisoner.
The male prisoner asserted his innocence of the crime,
but stated that with respect to himself it was immaterial
to him, what was done with him, all that he was anxious
about was his wife and children. _ _

The LORD CHIEF BARON said he would postpone
passing sentence till to-morrow morning, when the pri-
soner could produce his testimonials and witnesses.
RAPE.—The Court then proceeded with the case of
Clarke, who was indicted with a rape on one of his own
children, and an attempt on another. The facts are to-
tally unfit for publication, and the case was proceeding
when our reporter left.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
The Court sat this morning at ten o'clock, for the
purpose of hearing Petitions and Appeals. The list con-
tained 65 cases to be heard, nine of which were appeals
against summary convictions by the Metropolitan Police
Magistrates, the remainder being Parish Appeals. The
Learned Assistant Judge took the palish appeals first.
Those heard during the morning possessed not the
slightest point of general interest.

SOUTHWARK.—(THIS DAY.)
John Cabe, the mate of the Cassandra, Mediterranean
trader, was charged before Mr. Seeker with stealing a
book, the property of the master of the vessel.
It appeared that the Cassandra arrived on the pre-
vious day from a port in the south of Spain, laden with
fruit, when the prisoner was paid off and discharged.
Before leaving the vessel, however, his chest was
searched, and in it was found a book, entitled the
" Silent Friend," which the captain claimed as his pro
perty, and gave the prisoner into custody.
The prisoner declared that the charge was trumped
up against him out of spite, the captain having quar-
relled with him and vowed he would be revenged upon
him. He added that he had sailed as mate on board
several vessels, and never had a blot upon his character
before.

The captain's brother wished to press the charge, but
Mr. SECKER said that, even if the book had been
taken, it might be done by mistake, and appeared to be
of trifling value. He should, therefore, discharge the
accused.

WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY).

A middle-aged, half-starved, miserable-looking female
pauper, belonging to St. Luke's workhouse, was brought
to this office, in custody of the police, charged with
riotous conduct, and with breaking the windows in that
establishment. The pauper was ushered into the Court
at ten o'clock, being the time appointed for the hearing
of the case. A quarter to eleven o'clock, however, came,
and the prosecutors had not yet arrived. This was inti-
mated to the Magistrate, as also that the unfortunate
pauper had not received her breakfast, nor had any food
whatever been given to her since the previous day.
Mr. BINGHAM ordered her immediate discharge, and
with great humanity desired the officers of the Court to
lose no time in providing her with nourishing food.
The chapfallen appearance of the officers of the work-
house, at learning, on their arrival with their witnesses,
that the accused had not only been discharged, but was
partaking plentifully of the bounty of the police-office,
afforded no small amusement to those who were present.
