WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. CON ST and a fill' Bench of Magistrates.)

Maria Ailing was indicted for stealing five blankets, four
Sheets a bolster, two • pillows, bed furniture, a carpet, two
shirts, and various articles, the property of Joseph Paybody.
Mrs. Paybody deposed she was the wife of a butcher in
Clue-market. In .lay last the prisoner, -and a man who
passed as her husband, took ready-furnished lodgings in her
house, where she lived up to Tuesday last; the man turned
out to be no husband of the. prisoner's, and had not
been much there for the last moUth. On Tuesday
the witness missed a shirt and some other things from her
own room, and on going into the prisoner's to ask her for them,
she found that the room was literally stripped. She taxed the
prisoner with the theft, and she at once said she had pawned
them through distress. She gave up the duplicates to. the
officer.

The police officer 8 F corroborated the other witness, and
the pawnbroker produced the whole of the property, which was
identified by the prosecutrix.

The prisorier said she could give no other account of the
matter than she had done before ; she was driven to do so
through distress.
In answer to a question from a Magistrate, she said she for-
merly lived as a servant, and was 25 years of age.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, but strongly recom-
mended her to mercy.

The CHAIRMAN said the case was a very bad one, but still
there were some palliating circumstances. In his opinion the
man ought to have stood in her place. The judgment of the
Court was, that she be imprisoned in the House of Correction
for fourteen days.
Ellen Drew and Ann Bennet, two cyprians, were indicted
for stealing a watch, value 31., and three handkerchiefs, the
property of William Watkins.
The prosecutor stated, that he was a grcom. On the Bth of
August, he was at Astley's Theatre, and on coming over
Westminster-bridge, he met the prisoner Bennett, with whom
he went home, and in her room found the other prisoner Drew.
He stopped all night, and in the morning he found that both
prisoners had gene off along with the property named-. He
gave notice of the robbery to the police.
Police Constable 92 B was applied to by last witness,
and upon getting the description of the girls at once,
knew them to be the prisoners. He took Drew first, and upon
her found tie silk handkerchief. He afterwards took Bennet
on the morning of the robbery, and beneath her pillow found
the other two handkerchiefs. • She denied all knowledge of
the watch, but it was found, pawned for 11. in Wesminster-
road. The pawnbroker deposed that he took it in from Bennet.
Verdict—Guilty, and Bennet sentenced to six months, and
Drew to two months hard labour in the House of Correction.

Mary Donoughough, an old Irishwoman, was indicted for a
desperate assault upon Elizabeth Evans, by which her life was
placed in imminent danger.
The prosecutrix stated that the prisoner was a lodging-
house keeper—that is, she occupied a garret, in which she
fitted up four beds for letting out. On the morning of the
11th July she lodged with the prisoner, who had a grandson who
had a cut finger, which he said was done by a bit of china ; he
however laid down a knife which had been taken from her box.
She then called him a little blackguard, and blamed the pri-
soner for encouraging him in such things. No more passed
then, when the witness went out. In the evening she returned
about six o'clock, when she found prisoner and two other
women in liquor. Not wishing to have any row she went out
till nine o'clock, and then returned, intending to go to bed.
The prisoner then brought up the story of the knife, but witness
would not- say anything about it, as she knew the woman
was all out of her when the drink was in. Without saying
more she struck at her, saying " Take that with you," and
witness felt that, she was cut on the head. She cried out
Murder 1" and ran down stairs, when she. lost all conscious-
ness.

A lodger on the first floor met her on the stairs and took
her into her room, where she fainted. She lost upwards of
three pints of blood from the head.
A certificate from a surgeon was put in and read, which
stated that for several days her life was despaired of.

The policeman that was called in took the prisoner into
custody, and found a cleaver on the floor, which was marked
with blood. full an inch and a half up. On the way to the
station-house she said she did not care for what she had done ;
she wished she had killed the woman.

The prisoner, in her defence, said the prosecutrix had been
drunk for three days, and was so on the occasion alluded to,
when she fell upon the fender and cut her head.
The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the jury, said it was the most
serious case that had been presented to their attention, and
indeed was one that ought to have been taken to another
place. With the alteration of two or three words the indict-
ment would have made the offence a capital one, and certainly
he had not seen a case for a long time so deserving of being
brought under Lord Ellenborough's Act. He then went over
the evidence, and the jury, after a moment's consideration,
returned a verdict of guilty.
The CIIAIRMAN said to the prisoner that she had been very
fortunate in being tried there, and that she had not to suffer
the last penalty of the law. The judgment of the Court was,
that she be imprisoned one year in the House of Correction,
and be kept to hard labour.
The business being all over, the jury were discharged.

RELIGIONV. RADICALISM.—Mr. Baron Vaughan,
on opening the Denbighshire Summer Assizes, in his address
to the Grand Jury said—" It was particularly gratifying to
him, who had travelled all the circuits in England, and who
had seen crime abounding to so frightful an extent in many
counties there, that last winter he alone had tried 300 prison-
ers ; it was most gratifying to reflect, that he had hitherto tried
only three prisoners on this circuit. In travelling through this
principality he had been delighted to observe the religion, mo-
rality, and loyalty of its inhabitants, and those happy results
which naturally flowed from them—peace, contentment, and
good order."
