OLD BAILEY, OCT. 21 ,

In the case of Thdomas Cox Savory, the silver-
smith, of Cornhill, whose trial for uttering forged
plate was not concluded yesterday when we went
to press, the Jury returned a verdict of—Not Guilty.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, OCT. 21.

(Before B. ROTCII, Esq., M.P., and a Bench of Magistrates.)

Elizabeth Cunningham was indicted for stealing
one sovereign and three half sovereigns from the
person of William Anderson, a seafaring man.
The prosecutor is a native of Norway, and be-
longed to a vessel called the Sarah Bell ; on the day
mentioned in the indictment he went to the house
of a Mrs. Cummins, who kept a brothel in Ratcl;ff-
highway, to meet a shipmate, and sent for some
rum ; he afterwards fell asleep, and on waking found
his waistcoat pocket picked of a sovereign and four
half sovereigns. He then charged the people of
the house with the robbery, and in return was
charged with robbery himself, and a row kicked up.
The prisoner, who went into the house to sell
oysters, gave him half a sovereign (to prevent, as
she said, any more bother), leaving him minus one
sovereign and three half sovereigns. She was given
in charge of a policeman, and a little girl swore
that she saw the prisoner go to the sailor's pocket
twice.

The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the
Court sentenced her to one month's imprisonment.
The prosecutor was allowed his expenses.
Michael Curtis, a roan of very miserable appear-
ance, apparently about 45 years of age, was indicted
for assaulting Caroline Garratt, under ten years of
age, with intent, &c. Another count charged the
prisoner with a common assault.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The COURT, after addressing the prisoner, who
is a married man, with a family, on the enormity of
his offence, sentenced him to be imprisoned eighteen
months in the House of Correction, and kept at
hard labour.

John Thomas Lewis, a young African negro, was
indicted for assaulting his wife, Emma Lewis.

From the evidence of his wife, a fair young
woman, it appeared that they had been married this
day six weeks, but that they had previously co-
habited together, and she had become enceinte by
him, and that since their marriage he bad treated
her in a very cruel manner, by beating her and
threatening her life. Before their marriage he had
behaved kindly to her, but his conduct was since
so bad that she had been compelled to fly to her pa-
rents for protection. The prisoner was an itine-
rant dealer in hot baked potatoes, which yielded
him a profit of five shillings per diem.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the
Court sentenced him to be imprisoned one calendar
month, and to enter into his own recognizance in
ti :e sum of 201. to keep the peace towards his wife
for the space of six calendar months.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

cant and Clarke, two men, charged a few days
ago with having conspired with ene King, alias
Wicks, to plunder several merchants and tradesmen,
were brought up for a second examination. The
justice room was crowded during the investigation,
it being generally reported that the amount of pro-
perty of which the accused persons possessed them-
selves reached 12,0001.
The two prisoners had been apprehended in
London in the act of applying at a waggon-office for
ten firkins of butter which Mr. Freer, a merchant of
Bristol, had sent, according to order, to King's
warehouse at Taunton, and which had been imme-
diately afterwards brought to the metropolis, with
an immense quantity of other goods, by King or
some of his emissaries. Cant and Clarke were re-
cognised as the shopman and porter of Kmg, and
they did not deny that connection. The plan
adopted was the common one of dealing with and
regularly paying some highly respectable houses,
and then referring others to these firms, who of
course testified to the pecuniary punctuality of the
Taunton concern. In a few days, however, after
the last orders were sent in, off went the three
persons who represented the principal, the shop-
man, and the porter. King has not yet been laid
hold of. The creditors who were thus defrauded
instantly took the necessary measures, and upon
coming to town seized their goods • but Cant, not
relishing the idea of being apprehended, sent off an
intimation of what had taken place to some old
creditors of King, who turns out to be an uncertifi-
cated bankrupt. The property thus becomes sub-
ject to the claim of the creditors previously on the
bankruptcy.
Mr. Adolphus applied to the Lord Mayor upon
the part of the new creditors of King alias Peter
Wicks, to remand the prisoners on the charge of
conspiring with that person to defraud them.
The solicitor to the assignees of King, who went
by the name of Peter Wicks at Maidstone, where
he formerly carried on business, expressed a hope
that the prisoners would be banded over for exami-
nation before the Commissioners of Bankruptcy.
The LORD MAYOR knew a great deal about this
matter privately, but he did not know that he could
hold the prisoners to bail on a charge of conspiracy.
The question was whether they could be connected
sufficiently with King to establish a substantial
charge.
Mr. Adolphus was convinced of his ability to
make out a strong case. It bad been shown that
they had been employed in removing the goods for
the bankrupt, and that they admitted they had been
employed by him.
The LORD MAYOR acquiesced in this position.
Cant—Didn't I deliver up some of the goods ?
The solicitor to the assignees of the bankrupt—
It is true you sent for me to give up some of the
goods, but you were not actuated by principle.
Were you, or were you not, influenced by some un-
worthy motive ? Cant—l was influenced by re-
venge.
A creditor—He never offered his services to find
out for the creditors where the other goods were.
Here a quantity of brushes were produced, and it
was stated that the bankrupt had received them with
the handles fastened. The handles, however, bad
been cut off in order that the brushes might lie in a
smaller compass, and the brushes were packed up in
a cask, with raisins, lump-sugar, salt, and brooms.
The solicitor for the prisoners submitted that no
case had been made out against them.
The LORD MAYOR—A strong presumptive case
has been stated, for it has appeared that they were
employed by the bankrupt while he did business in
the name of Wicks at Maidstone, and in that of King
at Taunton. Was not that the case, Cant ?
Cant—l would rather decline answering that
question.

The LORD MAYOR—You certainly need not
answer the question if you do not wish it. But
this I must say, in a case which I had investigated of
a robbery of tea, I would not have committed an
unfortunate man to Newgate if his solicitor had not
prevented him from saying what he was disposed
to say, and what would have exonerated him. My
object in deviating from the practice of other Magis-
trates is that I may acquire an accurate knowledge
of each case, and it would give me infinitely more
pleasure to be able to discharge a prisoner than to
commit him. Your solicitor is, I am sure, too dis-
creet to let you answer any question the answer to
which might be prejudicial to you.
Cant—My Lord, I can procure bail for my ap-
pearance.
Th e LORD MAYOR—No, no. I shall remand you
until Saturday next. In the interim the Commis-
sioners of Bankrupts can examine you if the as-
signees to the bankrupt's estate think proper.
Cant had no objection to be remanded. The
goods had been procured by a regular commercial
transaction. He hoped that the Lord Mayor woukd
order some of the money which had been taken
from him to be restored, to enable him to defent:
himself. He also requested that he and his fellow-

tilt!
prisoner, who had hitherto been separated, 80-
be pe-mitted to communicate. • 1..11
The LORD MAYOR consented, and the pow
were both remanded till Saturday next.
