MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

YES4ERDA-i" Martha Howard was tried for wilful
and cOn-apt Perjury, in swearing falsely at the trial
of :seause before Lord ELLEmmitOnon,
in the Court
of King's Bench. The filets of this case were the
same as at the trial of Mary Harford, who was con-
viaed of perjury oh Monday. The Prisoner made
a similar deposition at Westminster Hall, and after
the Perjury had been dearly proved, the Jury found
her Guilty. •
GeorgianaDerville, a 'notorious Priestess of Venus,
was indiaed by the Officers of St. James s Parish
for keeping a disorderly house in Lower James-
street, Grosvenor-square. It was proved by several
respe6lable Witnesses, that the Defendant's House
had long been a nuisance to the neighbourhood, and
that the 11,Ail 3istrhood cxilibitod.thorncOyea in th,
most indecent situations, at the windows; it, how-
ever, appeared the Parish had negle&ed to prove
that the Defendant paid rent and taxes for the house
in question, in consequence of which she was ac-
quitted. It seems she left the house as soon as a
prosecution was commenced against her.

Foa9ERY.---Yesterday a young man underwent
an examination at" the Mansion-house, before the
LORD MAYOR, charged with forging and uttering a
Draft upon the . Banking4house of Sir RICHAUD
CA RR GLYN and Co. purporting to be the Draft of a
tradesman in 'Change Alley, for 201. which was de-
te6ted before paid. In his defence, the Prisoner
said he found it. He was remanded for further
examination.

Tab, Cook, and Lambert, three of the men con-
cerned in the b6rglary in the house of Mr. Buck-
hurst, of St. Mary's, in Romney Marsh, had nearly
etreated their, escape .from the gaol, at New-Hall,
last Vriday evening, having sawed asunder their irons
,and the bars of the windows, although they were an
inch and an half thick ; when,. about nine o'clock,
the gaoler, going in as usual, luckily discovered these
c;rcunbtances, and prevented them. A watch spring,
which had been converted into a saw, was the only
instrument found on their persons. ' TheY have
since, for better security, each had an additional pair
of irons.

After the amusement at Cricklewood, on 'Monday,
and the Pugilistic Corps ,had refreshed themselves,
another pitched battle was fought for ten guineas, at
Kennington Common, between Dowling, a tailor,
who was seconded by Jemmy front Town, and cogley,
a shoemaker, who was seconded by Maddox. This
fig-lit was made when the Black had beaten his man,
and at six o'clock in the evening they set to. It
was a complete novel scene, as neither of the com-
batants excoeded four feet in height. They, how-
ever, fought in a determined manner, and each hdd
the best of it alternately ; but after many clean
Rnock-down blows, Siiip was declared the vi6tor,
after fighting 27 obstinate rounds. The Ccimmon
was filled with vehicles, and .the admirers were as
numerous as at the battle in the morning.

_ .
The 'faith of the amateurs:-of pugilism, in WiAt.
is technically called 'science, begins to be a little
shaken. Dutch Sam, one of the greatest masters in
the art, received a few days ago, a complete drub-
bing, in a casual re?wcinke with a slayer of sheep.
and oxen. Passit*r over,Wimbledon Common, on
his way to TOwn,from Thames Ditton, where he
has been for some time itt training, he fastened ,a,
quarrel on the Butcher; to it they went.; the
strength and resolution of the tr.dn of blood pre-
vailed over the skill and dexterity of Sam, Who was
every time knocked down like a 'bullock. In the
hope of intimidating the Butcher, he was told, dur-
ing the. that he was contending with Dutch
" Be; he the Devil," said the Butcher, "
will bang hiM. well now I am at it ;" and he'kept
his, word. In the course of a dozen rounds he so
cat up the Hollander, that he could scarce see or
stand ; and he was obliged to acknowledge himself
• ,
beaten, tor.the first time in 116' life.
