MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. This Day.

A GENTLEMAN THIEF.
Edward Hamilton' Finney, the son of Major Hamilton
Finney, an officer in her Majesty's service, surrendered to
his bail, to an indictment against him for stealing a silver
spoon, the property of Mr. Cooper, of the Albion Tavern,
Great Russell-street, Covent-garden.
Mr. M. Williams prosecuted, and Sergeant Ballantine
appeared for the prisoner.

It will be recollected, from the report which appeared
in The Sun, on the occasion of. the prisoner's apprehension
and examination at Bow street-station that he went into the
Albion Tavern to dine, and after the first course had been
served the waiter missed the silver-spoon from off the
table. The prisoner's father then came in, and having
joined his son they both went • to the smoking room.
Detective-constable Lynch, of the F Division of Police,
was employed •to watch the prisoner; and on his father
and he quitting the Albion they both proceeded some dis-
tance together, when the major left the prisoner, who was
afterwards observed to go into the shop of Mr. Wallis, an
umbrella maker in the Strand, from whence ho came n ith
a walking-stick in his possession, which he had not paid
for. Ile was then taken into custody, and when at the
Bow-street Police-station a variety o: miscellaneous articles
were taken from his pocket, amongst them being the sil-
ver spoon in question, which had the name and address
engravon on it. The prisoner said he could not account
for the possession of the spoon. The waiter said that in
consequence of the great loss of plate that had taken place
lately, the spoons on each table wore counted, and sharply
looked after, and it was the disappearance of one of the
spoons from the table at which the prisoner was sitting
alone that induced him to suspect him of the robbery.
Mr. Sergeant Ballautyne made a very forcible appeal- to
the jury on behalf of the prisoner. He said ho could not
for a moment imagine that the prisoner had been guilty of
stealing the spoon, because ho was in possession of ample
means, and was a member of a highly honourable
The prisoner had, always been
!looked upon as a young
man of the highest principles, and he could only account
for the spoon being found in his possession that it had
accidentally fallen off the table, and by some unfortunate
accident it had gone into his pocket.
• The private tutor of the prisoner, a clergyman, gave Lim
the highest of characters, and said that he thought him to
be quite incapable of a dishonourable action.

The jury retired, and, after some deliberation, returned
a verdict of guilty.

The learned Judge said ho should.defer, passing sen-
tence until that day week.

The other charge of stealing the walking-stick was not
gone into.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day.

31ARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CRUEL ASSAULT ON A BOT.—Janies Michael Curtis, a
plasterer, well known at this court for his ruffianly 'con
duct, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently
assaulting
int,ha
the
istytil
witness
-cxmlevdi t Thomashhis
head enveloped in a Dowling, who ap-
pearedbandage. •

The Canplainant said ho was sitting on the door-step
of a printiug-office in White Lion-street, near the pri-
soner's house, when the prisoner came up to him, seized
him by the legs and threw him up, and in falling his fore-
head struck the pavement and was badly cut. He was

afterwartls-taken to a doctor, and had his head dressed.

Police-constable 176 F, said that on taking the prisoner
into custody he said it served the boy right as he had
thrown clay at his door.
The prisoner asked the boy, and also his companions,
if he had not thrown clay at the door, and the boy said he
had not, and that they were all quietly sitting down at the
time.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a violent and cruel assault on
a helpless little boy. He should remand the prisoner, who
would probably be sent for a month or two doing hard
labour, as he was well known at the court for his violence.

THE DANGER OF PURCHASING PAWNBROKERS' DUPLI-
CATES.--John Sheldon, described as "a hawker, no home,'
was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt on suspicion of stealing
at 109, Regent-street, some clothes, the property of Messrs.
Grosjen and Co., tailors.
Caroline Little, of No. 22, St. Ann-street, Westminster,
said that on Saturday the prisoner asked her to purchase a
pawnbroker's duplicate, relating to some cloth. She told

him that she could not go to the pawnbroker's that evening
to see it, and on her going to the pawnbroker's yesterday
she was locked up. (The witness cried, and seemed much
distressed at being detained at the station.)
Inspector Draper said that as soon as the witness told

whb she bought the duplicate of she was liberated.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a great pity there was any
dealing in pawnbrokers' duplicates at- all. It was never in-
tended there should be by the Legislature, and the seller
was the person who ought to be punished.

Mr. Siminonds, in the employ of the prosecutor, said
that on the 11th •of May last 71 yards of blue cloth
similar to that produced was missed from the premises
of the firm.

The Prisoner said he bought the duplicate of a man and
woman in a public-house a week ago.
Police-constable Shrives, 82 C, said that having found
that a piece of the cloth had been pledged at Mr. Atlen-
borough's, in Piccadilly, in the name 'of Mary Ann Smith,
!le told the pawnbroker to stop it, there being no person
of the name at the ad,iress given co 11,. duplicate. Hu
heard no more of the matter till last night, when the wit-
ness Little was detained at the pawnbroker's and taken to
the police station, and from her information ho took the
prisoner into custody last night, when he became very
violent and tried to throw a duplicate relating to a pair of
trousers over some hoarding, but he succeeded in securing
it, and with assistance took the prisoner to the station.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would remand the prisoner for a
week, and perhaps by that time he would be able to pro-
duce the person he bought the duplicate of.
Tho prisoner said the persons were strangers to him.
_ _

Mr. Tyrwhitt told the witness Little not to fret and vex
himself about the matter. The pawnbroker could do
nothing else than he bad done, and if he had not been
found dealing with the duplicate he would not have been
put to any trouble.

The magistrate's remarks had but little effect upon the
witness, who left the court in great grief at having been
locked up.

THAMES.

ROBBERY ON BOARD A STEAMER.—Robert Nash Fox, a
lad, was brought before Mr..Paget charged with stealing a
•
shilling.

The prisoner had been kir some time employed on board
a steam towing vessel called Uncle Sam, on the river. The
crew had lost silver and copper moneys from their pockets,
and the greatest sufferer in this respect was a man named
James Braybrook. Silverdisappeared from his pockets in
a. very mysterious manner. At last the prisoner was sus-
pected, and the old expedient of marking money was hiid
recourse to. Yesterday Braybrook marked 3s. and put them
in the pocket of his trousers, hanging them up in the fore-
cabin. An hour afterwards one of the marked shillings
was missed. The prisoner, who had been in the fore-
6abin, Was given into the custody of a policeman, who
asked him if he had any money, to which he replied in the
affirmative, and took from his pocket the missing. shilling,
which was easily identified by the marks on it.
The prisoner made n') defence, and was committed for
trial.

A MOTHER AND DAUGHTER COMMITTED.—Mary Ann
Davis, aged 32, and Caroline Davis, her daughter, aged 13,
were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing a
flannel shirt and a brush, the property of Mary Ann Ver-
denarn, a tailoress, of No. 8, Chapel-street, St. George-in-
'the-East.

The girl, who pretended to be a relation of the prose-
cutrix and called her Polly, is exceedingly wicked, and has
been in custody several times. She paid a visit to Mrs.
Verdenham, and took the flannel shirt and brush away.
licr mother received them, and obtained a loan of is. 6d.
upon the property from a leaving shop kept by a Jew named
Mulhardo, in Brook-street, Ratcliff.
The prosecutrix said that her mother's brother was the
elder prisoner's father.
Mr. Paget—Repeating the description of the- relation-
ship, then, she is your cousin.
Witness—No, certainly not. my mother's
brother was
not married to his wife.

ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF PARIS.
NEW YORK, MAY 19 (Morning).
It is reported that President Johnson, at the re-
commendation of General Grant, has ordered all
white volunteers to be mustered out.
In the Senate Mr. Sumner has offered a petition
for the trial of Mr. Davis by Court-martial, stating
that his trial by jury at Richmond would excite the
derision of the world. The statement that the
health of Mr. Davis is failing has been confirmed
by the report of his physician.
Numerous protests from merchants against the
proposed export tax on cotton have been presented
to Congress.

Captain Raphael Semmes, formerly of the
Alabaina, who was recently elected judge of the
Probate Court at Mobile, has been forbidden by
the President to assume office until pardoned.
The Virginia Union Convention at Alexandria
has adopted a resolution favouring negro suffrage.
The City of Paris takes $3,700,000 in specie.
At Washington General Sweeney is reported to
have pronounced Stephens to be a British spy.
The Manhattan and several Fenian circles in
Philadelphia have declared in favour of the Senate.
All the Washington circles have decided to sup-

port Stephens.
The Senate faction entirely ignore his authority,
and there is no probability of a reconciliation.

SPORTING NO DES.

The following remarks on the Ascot Meeting ap-
peared in our first edition yesterday, but were acci-
dentally omitted in our third edition :

The Ascot Meeting commences tc-morrow-, and
will be graced by the presence of Royalty— the
Prince and Princes of Wales having signified their
intention of being present on Tuesday and Thurs-
day. The Queen's Vase will be won by the Duke,
the Stand Plate by Mr. Pitt or Robin Hood, and
the Prince of Wales Stakes by Savernake or Rustic.
Mr. Chaplin has the two mile Triennial at his
mercy with either Broomielaw or Breadalbane,
whichever he starts. The Ascot Stakes, in spite
of the favour shown in the market to Love Apple
and several others, will be secured by the Mar-
quis of Hastings by the aid of Ackworth, if he
can get sufficient money on—the next best out of
the 'wretched acceptance being War. On
Wednesday we are sure to have a hot favourite

from Danebnry for the Royal Hunt Cup, new
mile, as if Siberia (4 yrs, Gst 101 b) and Nuku-
heva (4 yrs, 6st 61b), are only well, the race is
a gift for one of them, or anything else the stable
might prefer. W. Day will also be very handy
with one of Sir F. Johnstone's horses, and if both
1 the brothers make a mistake the favoured G arde-
visure (who concedes considerably less weight than
she did in last year's Cambridgeshire) may do the
trick, but I would rather stand by Molly Carew
to furnish the winner than any of the above.
The Fernhill Stakes will be a match between
Friponnier and Ilippia, but the latter would prefer
a larger distance. The New Sizkes, always cele-
brated in bringing out a hot favourite for the Derby,
will be won by Achievement, own sister to Lord I
Lyon.

The Ascot Cup will be another repetition of the
St. Leger running over again between Gladiateur
and Regalia, and I can see no reason to disturb the
judge's decision when they met before, by placing
GLADIATEUR 1
REGALIA 2

But it will be a very different decision in the
Goodwood Cup, as Gladiateur has to carry a
penalty of 101 b., which•he will not be able to do
successfully, and, for that reason, I shall expect to
see the judge's decision reversed. The Alexandra
Plate will be secured by Strafford, if he retains any
of the form be showed last year. Savernake will
win the Three-yr-old Triennial. The other events
to 33e decided are of minor importance.

The following are the principal selections.l have
made this season :

One Thousand Guineas—Repulse ; won.

Two Thousand Guineas—Lord Lyon; won.
Derby—Lord Lyon and Rustic ; first and third.
Oaks—Tormentor ; won.
Grand Prix de Paris—Ceylon and Mazeppa;
first and third.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS BILL.
Earl CLARENDON, on moving the second reading of
this bill, said that it was admitted, that reform was impe-
ratively required in the national schools. The fact was
that the system adopted in some of our schools was de
fectivo and demanded Parliamentary influence. The
report of the commissioners would furnish valuable sug-
gestions, and would be of great advantage in dealing with
this subject. The bill which he now called upon the house
to adopt was the same that had come from a select com-
mitteeto of their lordships' house, and,the object of it was to
infuse new life and give extended powers to_ llintrusted with the administration of natiotnoal
