MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before BENJAMIN ROTCII, Esq., and a ber Leh of
Magistrates.)
The adjourned September sessions were opened this
morning (in the absence of the Assistant-Ji tdg e), by B.
Rotch, Esq., formerly chairman of the Middl 'esex Magis-
trates.
The grand jury having been sworn, tl to Learned
Judge addressed them in a brief charge, in which he
said it was his duty to go through the sarr to "farce,"
which the Assistant Judge had gone throng' a so often,
of informing them of the useless duties t hey' had to
perform. There was a time when the fate riention of
grand juries was necessary, even in this CL mart, for the
protection of the liberty of the subject. But, a t present,
and since the establishment of the Police-courts ;, the in
stitution was unnecessary and useless.
The calendar this session is about one-Mali' lighter
than usual.
Robert Griffths, aged 25, a chimney sweep, was in-
dicted for stealing a copper cowl of the value of fifty
shillings, the property of William Broughai u, Esq., of
No. 2, North Audley-street,
It appeared that the prisoner and another were em-
ployed to sweep tho chimneys of the house n no door to
Mr. Brougham's, fur which purpose he got. ..upon the
roof, and carried away the cowl in question.
Two witnesses gave him an excellent ch %rt'•cter for
honesty.
The prisoner was found Guilty, and
The Learned JUDGE sentenced him to thrt to months'
imprisonment with hard labour.

CRICKET.
THE ELEVEN OF ALL ENGLAND v. TWENTY-TWO
OF LEAMINGTON.
On Saturday this match was resumed, and carried
on until the approach of darkness bade the drawing of
the wickets. At this period it would appear that the
second innings of the Twenty-two had not been con-
cluded, and therefore, as the Eleven were engaged to
appear at Chelmsford yesterday morning, we presume
the game was drawn. The score stood as follows:
Leamington,. first innings, 407 .; sccond innings, 59.
England (with three wickets to go down), first in-
nings), 126.
