MIDDLES =.X SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before tne tiSSIST ANT JUDGE.)
The July adjourned sessions commenced this morn-
ing. at the Court-house, Clerkenwell-green, before Mr.
Sergeant Adams, the Assistant-Judge. The calendar
contains the names of 72 prisoners.
James Ballard, aged 32, of respectable appearance,
was indicted for stealing 17 cwt. of lead, value 101., the
property of George Frederick Delaforce arid another,
the same being fixed to a certain building; also fur steal-
ing leOlbs. weight of iron, rhi. property of the same pro
Emulous, from the same premises.
It appeared that Mr Dela,urce, a wine merchant, is
joint owner with a lady n imed Davis, of certain houses
and other buildings in Westmorland-street, Marylebone,
end recently let one of the houses to the prisoner, on
his representing that he was a cashier in the Bauk of
England. The prosecutors discovered that his name
was not Ballard, and that he was not the gentleman
hose name he assumed, but a gieger. beer maker, named
William Hatton. Mr.Delaforce went to look over the state
of the premises, and of a warehouse adjoining, to which
he had given the prisoner permission to have temporary
access until it should be let. He then found that the
lead cistern of the warehouse, the lead gutters of the
roof. and a quantity of iron, had been removed. The
feed had been partly replaced with sine, and measures
were going on to remove the marks of dilapidation.
Mr. Ignaw, a plumper and ghlner, now swore to his
belief that the lead was in perfect condition, and that it
would have lasted for fifty years. The prisoner had,
upon first taking the dwelling- house, expressed a wish,
to take the warehouse also. But the prosecutors had
not made up their minds to let the warehouses at all,
and took time to consider the proposal.
The per.on to whom the lead was sold proved that
the prisoner said he was a sea captain.
Mr. Ewart, of the New road, zinc merchant, proved
that he had supplied the zinc substituted for the lead, but
had not been paid.
Mr. O'BRIEN, for the defence, argued that Mr. Dela-
force, having, as he admitted, allowed the prisoner to get
the warehouse front painted at the same time with that
of the dwelling-house, he (Mr. D.) being to allow for
that portion, had given him to authorit3,7to repair the
whole of that building, of which the prisoner naturally
supposed he was in possession.
Mr. James Ballard stated that he had been fifty years
and still was the cashier of the Bank of England. 'L-
oad a son who was now a cashier. The prisoner was
not his son, and he was happy to say he (Mr. B. himself)
was not the prisoner.—(A. laugh.)
The Learned JUDGE summed up minutely, and stated
the law to be, that if the jury believed that when he
took the premises in a false name and by false pretences
he had not the intention of robbing the prosecutors, but
made the alterations really with a good intention and a
belief that he had a title not only to change the lead for
zinc upon the roof, but also to pull down and batter to
pieces the lead cistern of the pump, to sell it for old
metal, they would return a verdict in accordance with
that belief.

The jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict
of Guilty.
Evidence as to his previous conduct showed that he
had been a tide•waiter, but that he had been prosecuted
at the instance of the Society for the Protection of Fe-
males from Immoral Conduct and convicted at the
Guildhall Sessions, and was now under bail to appear
to :judgment for keeping several houses of il!•feme.
