MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, APRIL 13.

Rosetta Laher was indicted for stealing a half sovereign,
the property of Henry Wit tie, and several articles, the
property of Mrs. Johnson.
Mrs. Wintle deposed, that the prisoner was in her ser-
vice in the month of March. One day witness went out,
and left her basket in her bed-room; in it was half a so-
vereign. On her return she missed the money, and chal-
lenged the prisoner with taking it, which she denied.—
Witne,s threatened to send for a policeman, when the
prisoner confessed that she had taken the money, and
Legged for mercy. On the arrival of the policeman her
box was searched, and in it was found 9s, in silver, and
some trinkets, also of silver, and some lace. Witrn ss sent
for Mrs. Johnson, from whom she had taken the prisoner,
who iderritied the later articles as her property.
Mrs. Johnson stated that the prisoner had now no re-
lations, and was only 14 years of age. Was not aware
that she had be-n robbed till she saw the property taken
from her box. The girl was very much addicted to lying.
She tbd not wish that she should be severely punished,
but she did not know what otherwise to do with her than
to bring her to that Court.

The jury instantly found her Guilty, and the CHAIR-
MAN, after a short consultition with the other Justices,
sentenced her to be tr4nsporred for sere❑ years. He said
that the prisoner was one of a class that was the most
difficult to deal with, as, having no friends, on a short
imprisonment she would be thrown upon the world. He
would take care that she should he sent to the Milbank
P nitentiaty, which, io his opinion, wa,, the best thing
that could ~e don•- for her.

Mr. Justice PARK announced at Exeter, and
N.nre h;s arrival in this town, that he does not intend aLaila
taking, the Western Circuir. Whether his Lord•hip prefers
any oilier judicial tour is no' know., but the probability
Vat, entiil;f to his retirin,, pension, his Lir !ship
will have good taste enough to secede from his professional
labours while he has health and a pioliable trim i,f years
io enjoy the well-earned fruits of his long and meritorious
career. The duties of a judg.- are-often distre•singly op-
pressive. Duiing the piesent Assiz.s, Mr Justic, LIT-
TI.RDALE sat from nine o'cl.,ck on Thursday morning until
two o'clock on the morning of the next diy ; and on 5..-
tuiday last, it was nearly twelve at night before the Court
broke up Mr. Justice PARK has judicial y sat in ,his
county during many ass zes, and will leave behind him an
impression of high respect for his many estimable quaii-
ties.— Taunton Courier.

We learn from the New Orleans papers of
the 4th inst. that the choler still continues its ravaLzes in
the neigh, urhood of Franklin, Attakapas, and is said to
he spreading in that vicinity. Five deaths occurred from
it a few d ,r; ioreVifillS 'o the 274, ult.
INCENDIARISM.—Information was rec ived
on Thursday at the 11l.tropolita n Po:ice office, Scud tyl
yard, that the premises of Mr. RICHARD BRIGGANsHAW,
at Taplow, Bucks, had been set fire to a few nigh s ago
by some diabolical villains, and that ahnut 400 fm-he s o
barley had been destroyed by the confluration before the
flames could be subdued. A reward ,sf 50 guineas has
b,en offered for the detection of the miscreants.

One of the largest factories on the Thames
Bank above Vaiish ell Midge, hes nearly completed aii
extensive Dock which is to be a receptacle for their
washings ; and, instead of sen ling impure streams to mix
with tl a river, the noxious liquids will be carried off in
tanks. fixed in barges, and applied to chymical op ration,.
Every effort to prevent the pollution of the water we drink
is deserving of praise.
CHOLERA.—This terrific and insidious pes-
tilence has, during the last week, hurried no less than
twelve victims within our parish (St. Michael's) into
eternity. In Brunswick-street, in one house alone, four
persons have fallen victims to the disea.e, namely, the ser-
vant maid of the house, a child, the brother-in-law of the
proprietor—a young man who had arrived in Limerick on
Saturday, from En❑is, and who was buried yesterday
morning, having, in that short time fallen a victim to the
pestilence—and a man who was engaged on the premises.
There have been other deaths among us in other parts of
the city from cholera—one. a healthy man, whose death is
noticed in our obituary to-day, and who was in our streets
yesterday.—Limeriek

FATAL FIGHT.-Thursday an inquest was
held at Guy's Hospitd, on the body of MARK BAILEY
aged about 50. Ti,e deceased, who possess d some little
roperty, resided in Kennington-lane, Wakorth. On
Saturday week he met a young rnan, named VALENTINE
MUSSON, with whom he Lad been at variance, when high
wcrds ensued ; he called the deceased an old scoundrel,
and accused him of having endeavoured to inveigle away
his children. The latter retorted by calling MussoN
ii►r, striking him at the same time, and MussoN, i❑ re-
turn struck his antagonist such a tremendous blow on the
right cheek with his list, as to fracture the jaw in a dread-
ful In tins condition he was conveyed to the
hospitil, where he expired on Monday last. Verdict--
Manslauater.

APPALLING RAVAGES Or CHOLERA.-
In one family in the parish of Kilmeen, in the county of
Cork, and on the borders of Kerry, nine per•ons of thi?
family (that of a poor man, named CONNOR FLYNN) died
of the fatal malady, in the short space of five hours. A
friend who came to visit the family, and a poor woman,
in all eleven persons, were seized by the dire distemper,
and hurried into eternity. So great was the terror and
panic that prevailed in the neighbourhood, that no one
could he found to assist in placing the dead bodies in their
coffins ; and all this melancholy and heart rending duty
devolved upon an only surviving SIM of old FLYNN, who
had the afflicting task to perform, of placing the mortal
remains of a father and mother, two brothers, a wi owed
sister, and three of that sister's chi:dren, one a grown up
bid, in the .r coffins, and carrying them to their graves.—

DARNING--The business of stocking mend-
ing, as pursued by many god housewives, has always
been a marvel to me. 1 once made it eleir, so far as rea-
soning and argumer.t can make a thing clear, to an lode
fatigable stocking-mender, who deemed that a judgment
would have fallen on her had she abandoned a stocking so
long as any of the original material roll-Mined-1 made it
clear to her that the time slit- occupied in mending would
have earned, at ordinary needle-no,k, more money than
would have purchased a new pair. Yet it was of no use,
her mother had do, e so before her, and she could not coin-
prebend that a tiling which was useful whin stockings
were dear, became us.-Ae.s when stockins were cheap.—
