CRIMINACO CIR-1-T......(T-H
(Before
RAro-ERsox.)
, a
respetr= TREATMENT.—
DEATII CAUSED
g person,
Jahn Bradbridge Nice
was indicted with causing the death
se a female
ntsequenee of
named Mary Ann Cossins, in t e
heo
neglect and want of skill in
her during child birth. It appeared that ttatme'nt of
who was not a regularly educated medical tr!)arnisoriler,
attended the deceased in several of her confinements anadd
had given satisfaction ; but on the last occasion, after
the birth of the child, he left the deceased for five hours
without removing the placentia, and the result was
that the unfortunate woman sunk and died. From this
neglect the present indictment was brought charging tho
prisoner with manslaughter.
Mr. BALLANTINE was proceeding to address the jury
for the prosecution, when
Mr. Baron ALDERSON interfered and suggested that
there was no case to go to the jury unless the Learned
Counsel could prove male fide, and mala acto.
Mr. BALLANTINE said he could not carry the case so
far as that, and he would therefore retire from the pro-
secution.

prisoner said,
Mr. CLARKSON, who appeared for the
that Mr. Rice had attended thousands of women in
child birth, and had always given to them the greatest
satisfaction. If the prosecution had proceeded, he was
perfectly ready to answer it, and had fifty or sixty fe-
males to examine as witnesses who would speak to the
kindness and attention displayed by the prisoner to
them in child birth.

Mr Rice was then immediately discharges.
STEALING BRANDY. - Edward Price
and George
Bighorn, labourers, were indicted with stealing nine
gallons of brandy, and other articles, of the value of 121,,
the property of Thomas Jarmin, in his dwelling-house,
and afterwards burglariously breaking out of the same
dwelling-house.
From the evidence adduced on the part of the prose-
cutor, it appeared that the prosecutor keeps a public-
house, called The Grapes, in Old-street, at the corner
of New-street. The prisoner, who had been in the
house of the prosecutor on the previous evening, had
secreted themselves there, and about five o'clock in the
morning of the 16th of April, they broke oat of it, and
took away with them the brandy in question, but they
effected their object in so slovenly a manner, that they
were traced by a policeman to a house in Pear Tree-
street, by the brandy that they had spilt on their road
from the house of the prosecutor, and were taken into
custody.
Mr. Payno conducted the case for the prosecution,
and Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Robinson defended the,
prisoners: _

- Several witnesses gave both the prisoners a good oha•
racter.

Mr. Baron ALDERSON summed up.
The jury found both prisoners Guilty, and
Mr. Baron ALDERSON sentenced Higham to two years
imprisonment and hard labour, and Price to eighteen
months imprisonment and hard labour.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
William Kaye, a carman at the Catherine Wheel in
the Borough, was indicted for stealing a piece of cloth
of the value of 221., the property of Mr. Bulbeck, a
draper, at Havant, in Hants, on the 24th April last.
The prisoner, who
of goods from the New Inn, Old Bailey, to the Cathe-
rine Wheel in the Borough, had on the road abstracted
the property in question.
He was sentenced to ten years' transportation.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Ann Parker, a respectable looking woman, and Jane,
her daughter, were charged with stealing a watch, chain,
and appendages, of the value of 371., from the person of
Henry Avern, of Caledonian-terrace, King's-cross, sur-
veyor.
The prosecutor stated, that on coming out of the
Albion Tavern, King's-cross, last night, between eleven
and twelve o'clock, he met the elder prisoner, with
whose deceased husband he had been many years ac-
quainted. As an old acquaintance, he treated her to a
glass of wine, and at her request called to see her sister,
Mrs. Tucker, in Winchester-street. He did so, and
then accompanied her to her own house in Willington-
street, Pentonville. He there found in the parlour the
younger prisoner and her grandmother, and he gave the
latter some money to send out for something to drink.
There was no light in the room, but ho sat there for
some time, talking of past affairs, until the prisoner,
Jane Parker, got up hastily and left the room. He then
felt for his watch, to see the time, and was surprised to
discover that it had been taken out of his pocket and the
chain slipped off his neck and drawn out through the
button-hole of his waistcoat. He had felt no one touch
him, and he had made use of no familiarity with any of
the prisoners in the room j he was certain he had his
watch safe when he met Mrs. Parker. He was not
drunk at the time. Mrs. Parker said her sister " Julia"
(Mrs. Tucker) had taken the watch. But it was subse-
quently ascertained that the latter had not been out of
her own house since twelve o'clock, and the prosecutor
swore that she had not been in the room with him. He
gave the elder prisoner into custody, and the younger
was found concealed in the water-closet by a constable
who went to search for the watch.

Tho prisoners werOremandedto allow time for further
search for the property,
