LONDON SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

These sessions commenced this morning before the
Lord Mayor, assisted by the Recorder, Aldermen Sir
John Key, Sir C. Marshall, and others.
The grand jury having been sworn, and the usual
proclamations read, the jury were charged by the Re-
corder.
He said the London calendar contained the usual
sort of charges, such as forgery, uttering of forged
instruments, burglary, and picking of pockets, but to
gentlemen so experienced as those he addressed they
required no comments from him. It was also pro-
bable that they might have charges of perjury and
conspiracy preferred before them ;—and then entered
into the usual charge upon the necessity of strictly
watching such cases, and the state of the law of
evidence upon them. They were then discharged till
to-morrow morning, when they will assemble at the
Old Bailey. _ _

The Court then proceeded with a few assault cases.
None of those heard, before we left, were of any public
interest.

SHOCKING SUICIDE IN CLERKENWELL
PRISON.—This morning, between eight and nine
o'clock, a suicide was committed in Clerkenwell
Prison, by a prisoner, named Edward Pollard (40
years of age), under store-keeper to Mr. Broadwood,
piano-forte maker, Broad-street, Golden-square. On
Monday last the deceased was remanded from Marl-
borough-street Police-office, until this day, on a charge
of stealing 90 yards of silk. This morning the person
who daily attends the Clerkenwell prison to shave the
prisoners went, as usual, when the deceased asked to
be allowed to shave himself, which being granted, he
immediately cut his throat in a shocking manner
which shortly put a period to his existence.
A tradesman of this town has adopted rather
a novel mode of hastening his " long-winded" custo-
mers to settle their accounts. In his window, in High-
street, he has expotpd a copy of the bills sent in to
them, with the several items for which they are in-
debted to him ; and we are told it has cleared his books
qf several sums he never otherwise expected to receive.
