THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.—Every
person having an interest in domestic or farm animals
should obtain a supply of this celebrated and economical
food, which will prove invaluable during the approaching
season. For keeping horses in good condition it is unequal-
led. Pigs fatten with surprising rapidity upon it, and their
flesh increases in flavour and value. Cowkeepers will find
great advantage in the increased quantity and improved qua-
lity of the milk during its use. All animals are benefitted by
it. A pamphlet on this interesting subject, accompanied by
Testimonials from the principal Nobility, Gentry, and Agri-
culturists, forwarded on application. In casks containing
448 feeds (measures enclosed), price 505., carriage paid to any
Railway Station in the United Kingdom. Post-office orders
payable to Joseph Thorley, 77, Newgate-street, London.
N.B.—The public are cautioned against being imposed upon
by worthless imitations.

nesses ; and Mr. Lutiger, a former fellow-lodger
with Rinecker, said that he had never observed the
slightest impropriety in the behaviour of Mrs.
Kretzschmar and Rinecker to each other while he
was in the house. Her improper intimacy with
Rinecker was attributed to the conduct of her hus-
band.

M Sir C. Cresswell, in summing up, said that the
question of cruelty was not one upon which the
jury were called upon to decide in cases in which a
divorce was sought on the ground of adultery, but
as the question had been placed upon the record
with the other issues, and both parties had allowed
it to remain in this case, he would take their opinion
whether, before the adultery was committed, the
petitioner had treated the respondent with cruelty.
There was no doubt adultery had been committed,
and there was no evidence of connivance or con-
donation.

The jury found that the petitioner had not been
guilty of cruelty. They also found all the other
issues in favour of the petitioner.

MIDDLIMEX SESSIONS, Feb. 21.

The sittings of the Court for the February General
Sessions were resumed this morning at the Guild-
hall, Westminster, by adjournment from Clerken-
well, before Mr. Pashley, Q.C., Assistant-Judge ;
Mr. Payne, deputy ; Mr. Pownall, chairman of the
bench, and the following magistrates were present :
Mr. H. Warner, Dr. Bateman, Mr.. Dodd, Mr.
Burslem, Mr. E. W. Cox, Mr. Hogarth, Mr.
Donnethorne, Mr. Goodhart, and Mr. H. White.
There were 62 cases in the calendar, 55 felonies,
and 7 misdemeanours.

The Assistant-Judge shortly charged the grand
Isaac Smart, 29, was convicted of having stolen
a gold watch of the value of £4O, the property of
Ruperta Catherine Murray, in her dwelling-house,
9, Manchester-square. The prisoner had been
servant in the house nearly four years.
The Court sentenced him to three years' penal
servitude.

John Lee, 30, was indicted for a robbery from the
person. The prosecutor was a seaman, formerly
belonging to the Monarch, 84, and the prisoner
robbed him of a watch which he had purchased
with part of the wages he received when he was
paid off. The prisoner was found guilty, and a
former conviction for robbery from the person and
a sentence of seven years' transportation were
proved against him. He had had a ticket of leave,
which was revoked on his being taken for a felony,
committed soon after he obtained it, and he had
served out the whole of the term. He had been
known to the police for 15 years, and had been
repeatedly convicted.
The Assistant-Judge said, this was a case where
the power of sending the prisoner abroad ought to
be exercised, and with that view the Court would
sentence him to be kept in penal servitude for
fourteen years.
Henry Trainer, 36, ironfounder, was convicted of
unlawfully assaulting and beating John Connell, a
police constable, in the execution of his duty.
The Assistant-Judge said, it was much to be re-
gretted that a hard-working, industrious man, as
the prisoner evidently was, should get under the
influence of drink, and then commit an outrage
upon a policeman, without the least provocation,
who was simply doing his duty in preserving order
in the street. The police must be protected in the
performance of their duty to the public, as well as
punished when they did wrong, and this case must
follow the ordinary rule. The sentence upon the
prisoner was therefore nine months' hard labour.
Michael Green, 18, was convicted of feloniously
breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Wm.
Henry, and stealing a mustard pot and other ar-
ticles, his property.
A number of previous convictions were proved
against him, and
The Court sentenced him to three years' penal
servitude. _ _ .

Charles Hitch, 18, pleaded guilty of having
stolen a quantity of books and Parliamentary re-
ports, value £2O, the property crf Robert Stanhope

He was sentenced to be kept to hard labour for
fifteen calendar months.

Robert Collier, 26, was indicted for stealing a
dead pig from one of Pickford's vans, on its way
from Camden-town to Newgate-market.
The prisoner was met by a policeman, 115 E, in
New Oxford-street, carrying the pig, and in reply
to the question where he got it from, he said he had"
found it near Meux.'s Brewery, and was going to
take it to Bow-street; but the policeman remarked
that going westward towards Regent's-circus was
a roundabout way to Bow-street ; whereupon the
prisoner threw the pig down, damning it, and said
" He wouldn't carry it any further, for it was like
the policeman's impudence to interfere with him."
The prisoner in his defence called one Alonzo
Smith, a scavenger, with whom he lodged in Peter-
street, Westminster, and he deposed that the pri-
soner and himself were taking a stroll in the early
morning, after a " spree " over-night, to shake off
the effects of their potations, and that after they
had patronised several coffee-stalls they got to New
Oxford-street, where they found the pig lying in
the middle of the road. He then parted company
with the prisoner, but he could give no reason for
abandoning his friend immediately after so unex-
pected a prize had fallen in their way.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was
sentenced to six months' hard labour.
Mr. Orridge prosecuted for Messrs. Pickford.

was for the moment unsuccessful, his curiosity
about the other prisoner was too great for him to
withstand, and on his taking him a breakfast next
morning to the Robert-street station house, he was
at once recognised and secured.
Nothing was known about Weston, b-ut Melaney
was proved to be a very desperate character, who
had been twice before convicted and sentenced to
four years' penal servitude, and both prisoners were
therefore committed for trial.

LAMBETll.—Frederick Cresswell, a lad of 1G
years of age, was charged on his own confession,
with plundering his master to a very considerable

extent.

Mr. John Collis Nesbitt, proprietor of the Col-
lege of Agriculture, in Kennington-lane, said the
prisoner had been in his employment for the last
five months as a laboratory boy and general ser-
vant, and during that period, and for some time
before, he had been robbed to the extent of £250.
He, however, had no suspicion of the prisoner's
dishonesty until Friday last, when he was given a
penny to procure a postage stamp to put on a letter
addressed to Mr. Law, of Great Russell-street, but
instead of doing so he kept the penny and dropped
the letter in the box without a stamp. In accord-
ance with the recent postal regulation the letter
was opened and sent back to him, and by this
means he discovered the petty theft and dishonesty
of the lad. The prisoner at once admitted his guilt,
and Mr. Nesbitt charged him with robbing him of
other property, and he admitted this also. He said
he had taken a quantity of platina from time to
time out of the laboratory, and sold it at the shops
of two marine storedealers in the neighbourhood.
On one occasion he had taken a piece of platina
weighing an ounce and a half, and worth 305., and
sold it to a marine storedealer for 3s. On another
occasion, he said, he had taken an ounce of the
same valuable metal to another marine storedealer's,
and sold it to a woman there for 25.; and he fur-
ther said he had carried at different times a coat, a
pair of dress trousers, and a quantity of children's
wearing apparel to the same shop, and sold them
there.

The prisoner, in reply to the charge, admitted
that all lie had stated to his master was perfectly
true, and pointed out in the marine storedealers
who had purchased the property from him. One
of them (the man) admitted having purchased some
glass and fat from the boy, but nothing else, and
the woman maintained that she had never seen him
before.
The prisoner was remanded.
