SHERIFF' COURT -( THIS DA-I(''

( Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BuRCIIELL.)
DURHAM V. ROBERTSON—A MODEL LODGING.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of 141.
6d. for one quarter's rent of apartments in Arundel-sterll
Strand, and also for breakages, &o.
The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted.
..103tf
On the part of the plaintiff it was proved that defenu
Captain Robertson, took the apartments for a quarter °Jo
year from June last, but left before the quarter expired,d
consequence of a dispute between Mrs. Robertson 'l3,
Mrs. Durham, but after defendant left he wrote to sof
would pay. •
Mrs. Papworth was called, and admitted that she was d,
Mrs. Durham alluded to, and made the bargain NNitll -
fendant.
Defendant's SOLICITOR—And pray what are you?
nes (hesitating )—Why a lad of course.
T
SOLICITOR—And where doy you live? Witness--- dot
think that has anything to do with the case.
The UNDER-SHERIFF—I think you must say.
cl •
Witness—Then I live in Stamford-street. She 531 Faye
fendant shook' not cook his dinner on a Sunday after ti,Ps
o'clock, as she (witness) went to church; the fire migl-It''lo
been poked out in consequence. De:eidant was served /vlo
notice to quit on account of the insoleTce of Mrs. Rot)
and the servant.
For the defence Susan Cole was called to prove thit •A
yye
Durham was always abusing her mistress and her, and
also refused to let Ca,tain Robertson's friends up stairS•
Mrs. Papworth said that was because the knocker WI"
ing from morning to night.
110°
Witness said that she had seen Mr. Durham poke t
out.
T bale
The UNDER-SHERIFF—Was it intentional? for
known persons poke a fire with the intent to make it
one, but poked it out.—(Laughter.) In addressing th°J,weeo
he said, it appeared to have been a petty squabble betPlut,
landlord and tenant, but as defendant had taken the 1r to
meats he was bound to pay the rent, whether he c1:0'"
leave before his time or not.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.

BANKRUPTC Y.-(THIS DAY•)
IN RE DENNIS.
This bankrupt was described as of Lowestoft, builder?

• a meeting was held to "impound" the proceedings la b '
ruptcy, under a petition presented a short time since. 401
Mr. Bagley, on a former occasion, showed cause ag9o
the choice of assignees on the ground that proceedingsbil
pending under a previous bankruptcy. The bankrupt
formerly carriei on business at Woolwich, and in 18'tok
flak, was issued against him, but his examination 5c35041'
journed sine die, consequently he could not obtain his esp
ticate The choice of assignees was adjourned, and fps
Lawrance now appeared to support the proceedings uncl!.oo
petition, but an arrangement was come to that the ',7„t)
should be administered under the first fiat, and that v"
classes of creditors should equally participate.
;f eV
His HONOUR thought that unless the case was qu---
such an arrangement was very advisable.
11 tV°
The proceedings under the second bankruptcy W.;—
be abandoned.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS D-
OLD COURT. re
(Before Mr. Justice EELS, Mr. Baron MAlrrnr, and
Justice MAULE ) " tti
THE LAMBETH RAPE CASE.— William Grey Smythe
man who was yesterday convicted of a rape, was this 10
ing put forward for the purpose of being sentenced.
The prisoner, upon being asked if he had anything
in mitigation of the offence, said he considered he bee "64
exceedingly ill-used by being convicted upon the testlilio
of a single witness; but it was useless his saying acit,rt,
as lie was confident it would have no effect upon the Ce,."„t;
Mr. Justice ERLE, in passing sentence, told him tr
had been convicted after a careful and patient tria'• viti;
stood convicted of an extremely grave offence, and, had el
given his best attention to the case, he (the Learned Je";
thought the conviction was a very proper one. It Ai
been urged in the prisoner's behalf that be, 6/
acquainted with the criminal law, and that 16
took care to pursue his nefarious practices in such a ID
as not to bring h;mself within its pale. Some of his 'Wu,
he had used for the purpose of encouraging tLeir con Way
and of assisting him to lead others to the path of ruing of
which he had dragged them. That course he pureaeoil
several occasions without violating the law, but in one /, 0
he was stopped in that course, and upon the servant, wh°
previously assisted him withdrawing, from his erriploYyl
was betrayed by his passion into that violence whiciidi
rendered him amenable to the outraged laws of his cee;t
Then it was that he resorted to the course which Warr% rl
his conviction, and which was characterised by a system
infamy in umparison to which brutal bodily violence 'l, ot
oi
have been mercy indeed. It was clear, therefore, tha'a
tp
guilt exceeded that of almost any man who had bithA
stood at the bar to answer for sach a crime, and it $lll
the duty of the Court under the circumstances to visit t
.1!
offence with the severest punishment. The sentence 434. ID'
Court was that he be transported for the term
natural life. A $ll
F T age'

le prisoner an _ r ancis .aylor alias Foreman., tt
were indicted for a misdem ,nour, in conspiring to en
young girls tor the sensual purposes of the man.
Mr. Payne and Mr. Parry conducted the case for the r: pel
secution, and Mr. Clarkson, with whom was Mr. Ballau`
defended the prisoners.
The e' id,nce was precisely the same as that put in 91'
day, and consequently it is unnecessary to repeat it. ad
Mr. CLARKSON stopped the case after the second w 1 i 9
eel
had beeen examined, and stated that as the female Piro-
la,d been made the tool of her seducer, who was indicteud,
her, she was anxious to act upon his advice and
her plea of not guilty. She was far gone in the lu'o
way, a,.d he (the Learned Counsel) hoped the Court yr, Ye
deal mercifully with her, not only on that account, be 0
on account of the dependent position in which she
towards the male prisoner while she was in his service' 11
Li. Baron MARTIN said the Court of Appeal bad
that the charge imputed to the prisoner was a cril:°o 0
offnice, and if the prisoner pleaded guilty, the court
deal with the case accordingly.
Upon being called upon to plead agail,
0
The female at once pleaded guilty.
h'eft
The man said he could not plead guilty to that
Iva.; not guilty of, but as it was useless struggling "e,if
the evidence, he would plead guilty for the sake of
time. It was right that he should state, however, thur,7o dr
female had acted under his orders; and he hoped the
would deal leniently with her.
lre. p
Mr. Baron MARTIN said, as the male prisoner bad a- 9,
teen transported'for life, it was useless to pass any fartheL%
tence upon him. With regard to the female, it Or ki"
that she had been seduced at an early age by the MO'
as there was reason to suppose that she had acted and
cry
control and direction, the Court would abstain from
a severe sentence upon her. The sentence of the Court ;
that she be imprisoned and kept to hard labour f°:
period of two years.
The pisoners were then removed.
