MIDDLESEX (INTERMEDIATE) SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)

Thomas Morgan was indicted for embezzling, at different
leriods, various sums of money, the property of his master,
dr. Thomas Dexter, a milkman.

The prosecutor resides in Red Lion Street, and the prisoner
was employed by him to carry out milk. He received the
different sums named in the indictment from his master's cus-
tomers, and appropriated them to his own use.
The case was clearly proved against the prisoner, and the
jury found him Guilty.
The CHAIRMAN sentenced him to two months imprisonment
and hard labour, four weeks of that period to be spent in soli-
tary confinement, and to be twice whipped.
John Lucas, a boy 13 years of age, was convicted of steal-
ing a pair of shoes, value 25., the property of James Mepham.
The prisoner in his defence said that another boy had stolen
the shoes, and given them to him.
The Court sentenced him to one week's solitary confine-
ment, and to be once soundly whipped.
31ary Doyley was convicted of stealing a gown, the pro-
perty of Wm. Naylor Morrison. The Court sentenced her
to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. Two weeks
of that period to be kept in solitary confinement.
Charles Smith was indicted for stealing a pocket handker-
chief, value 55., the property of Mr. John Barnett.
The prosecutor was going with a friend along Charter-
house-lane on the 27th of August, when he felt a tug at his
pocket, and on turning round saw the prisoner behind him.
On charging him with the robbery, the prisoner stoutly denied
any knowledge of it. On being further pressed, he produced
the handkerchief from under his waistcoat.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and
The CHAIRMAN sentenced him to fourteen days' solitary
confinement.

Samuel Swift, aged 23, was indicted with stealing on the
28th of August a watch, value 155., the property of Jane Earl.
The prosecutrix stated that on the dsy in question her
watch was hanging in the kitchen window. She had not left
the room many minutes before the watch was taken away.
On cross-examination by Mr. PRENDERGAST, the prosecu-
trix stated that she had several lodgers in her house.
The apprentice of the pawnbroker at whose house the watch
was pledged, believed the prisoner to be the man who brought
the watch to his shop.
William Harris purchased the ticket, of the watch from the
prisoner.
The prisoner, in his defence, said that he had bought the
ticket' from another person in a public-house.
The jury acquitted the prisoner.
EXPENCES OF WITNESSES.
In the course of the morning several persons who were in
service as clerks and shopmen, applied to the Court to be al-
lowed their expences.
The CHAIRMAN said it was too bad where persons were in
employment, and the receipt of regular wages, to put the
county to an expense of 3s. 6d. a day, when they were no-
thing out of pocket, and sometimes not detained more than
one hour. •
One person stated that he should not be home before dark,
as he lived at Marylebone.
The CHAIRMAN said it was only 12 o'clock, and he could, if
he chose, be at home long before that period. He was how-
ever, afraid, if he allowed him his expenses, that he would not
reach home before night, as he would be sure to stop on the
road, for many persons made a holiday, when they had to at-
tend the Court, at the expense of the county ; such a practice
must be put an end to; in future the Court would not allow
expenses beyond money out of pocket, to persons who were in
the receipt of regular wages, and who, in point of fact, lost
nothing by attending the Court. The annual charge to the
county, under the head of witness's expenses, was most enor-
mous, and must be reduced.
