JULY 20.

The Court having:this day met at eleven o'clock,
pursuant to adjournment, Lieutenant BELLASIS and
Capt. BY NE were put to the bar, and being asked,
in the usual form, what they had to say why sen-
tence of death should not be passed' upon, them,
they severally addressed the Court, in a few words,
throwing themselves on its mercy.
The RECORDER then addressed the prisoners in a
long and very afFeaing speech, wherein he reca-
pitulated the leading circumstances of this melan-
choly case, and took occasion to admonish the au-
dience, to take warning from the' unfortunate ex-
ample before them, of the danger of flying in the
face of the laws,• and aauated by false notions of
honour, seeking the lives of their fellow creatures,
or risking their own, by that most barbarous prac-
tice of duelling. • .
The RECORDER then informed the prisoners, that
in consideration of the Jury having.recotnmended them
to mercy, the Court had-determined to avail them.
selves of the late gracious at of His Majesty, which
enables the Courts in India to award sentence of trans-
portation instead of execution against of.-Iders in
certain cases, as they shall see fit ; and, further, that
from some favourable circumstances which had ap-
peared on the trial, affeaing the case Of Capt-. BYNE,
as well as a representation which had just been put
into his hands from the C.acers of the 86th Regiment,
stating that upon a former occasion of this nature
Captain BYNE had interfered and happily prevented
a duel in the regiment, the Court would be. induced
to recommend him to His Majesty for pardon;' but
that the case of Lieutenant BE LLAsts appeared in a
very different point of view, and he ffitist not ex.
pea the smallest remission of his punishment.
The RECORDER concluded by saying,—,, It
therefore only remains for me to to pronounce the
sentence of the law, 'as the Court have determined
to apply it—which is, that you GEORGE' BRIDGES
BELLASIS skein be transported to the eastern coast of
New South Wales, for the term of fourteen years ;
and that you CHARLES WILLIAM ,BYNE Shall, be
transported to the same place, for the term of seven

The immense crowds that flock to the new Theatre,
Sadler's Wells, is an incontrovertible proof of the
estimation in which the entertainments arelleld by
the Public, and they certainly axe, without exag-
geration, unrivalled : no dancing can exceed that
exhibited in the French, Milliners ; nor can any Se.
rious. Pantomime excite more interest than St.
George, exclusive of its containing two of the best
combats ever fought, between Bologna, jun. and
Grimaldi, besides the extraordinary battle with the
Dragon; add to these the irresistibly laughable Pan-
tomime of Harlequin Phaeton, and the Poney Races,
which are universally allowed to be the best ever
presented to the Public, and it would be a subject
of uncommon astonishment if the new Theatre,
Sadler's Wells, was not the order of the day.
