MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—Dec. 5.

Robert Davis, 54, clerk, was indicted for em-
bezzling the sums et XII Os. 7d., £l2 Os. 71d., and
£l2 10s. received by him on account of Messrs.
Lindsell, Fletcher, and White, and others, his
masters.

Mr. Giffard appeared for the prosecution. The
prisoner had been for about 10 years in the service
of the prosecutors, a highly-respectable firm in Bed-
ford-row, and the total amount he had embezzled as
ascertained up to the present time was about £190;
his salary was £llss. per week, and the only rea-
son that could be suggested for his having robbed
his employers of money received by him on their
account was that he had got married to a woman
given to extravagance far beyond what his means
would justify, to meet which he had used this
money.
The Assistant-Judge said this was one of that
class of cases which must ever be regarded as very
serious, a robbery by a confidential clerk. He sen-
tenced the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for 18
calendar months.

The prisoner's wife subsequently applied for an
order to see him, and she said he had been concerned
in betting and other irregular practices, to which
his present situation was to be attributed.
A prisoner named George Smith was brought up
for judgment. He was convicted at the last ses-
sions of a felony, and, as he asserted he could pro-
duce witnesses to speak to his former good charac-
ter, the learned judge deferred the sentence to afford
him the opportunity of bringing them forward.
None were in attendance, but since the last session
ho had been recognised in the Houso of Correction,
and the officers now proved a former conviction and
a sentence of four years' penal servitude against
him, which he had undergone.
The Assistant-Judge said this was a gross at-
tempt to deceive the Court, but the prisoner had,
by endeavouring to play this trick, brought upor..,,
himself consequences which must result to a perzson
convicted of a felony after the severe warring of
four years' penal servitude, a sentence parsed upon
him, as it now appeared, on no less thP.;ll six indict-
ments. The, Court had no alternatve and the sen-
tence was now four years Penal. servitude.
Robert Barrington, 27, was indicted for unlaw-
fully and maliciously assaulting John Begot and
inflicting upon him F,',",:ievous bodily harm.
The prosecutol. and the prisoner were glass-
blowers, and worked at the same establishment.
There had been some angry words between them,
and the prosecutor, having been directed to give
some instructions to the prisoner from his employer
with reference to some glass chimneys he was mak-
ing, the prisoner seized a red hot iron from a fur-
nace, and knocked the prosecutor about with it, in-
flicting such injury upon him that he was a patient
at an hospital three weeks, but had now quite re-
covered. He said ho did not believe that the pri-
soner had really any ill feeling at heart against him.
The jury found the prisoner guilty of a common
assault.
The Assistant-Judge said he must act upon the
finding of the jury, but had the prisoner been con-
victed on the first count of the indictment he should
have sentenced him to a long term of hard labour,
for it was a base, cowardly, and cruel attack upon
an unarmed man with a red hot bar of iron. The
jury had found him guilty of a common assault,
and for that he should sentence him to four months'
imprisonment, during which he might reflect upon
the atrocity of his conduct.,,
Felix Newman, 25, described as a vocalist; was
indicted for stealing a cashbox, in which was the
sum of £232 in notes and gold, the property and
money of Thornton Moore, in his dwellinghouse.
Ho pleaded guilty
The prosecutor was a stationer in Lisson-grove
North, and on Saturday the 29th of October a cash-
box containing £232 was stolen from under a chair
behind the counter. The prisoner was detected in
the act of carrying it off by the prosecutor's wife,
who tried to stop him,, but so' violent were his
efforts to get away that he broke one of hor ribs.
eFrom the evidence in the depositions there was no
doubt the prisoner acted in complicity with
another man and two women, who went into the
shop on pretence of making a small purchase. While
Mrs.. Moore's eye was turned away for a moment
the prisoner slipped round the corner and took the
box, which he had seen on Mrs. Moore taking it
up to give change for a sovereign. There was a
second charge against the prisoner of having stolen
a diamond earring value £BO. from the shop of Mr.
Frederick Hancock, 39, Bruton-street, and of an
assault upon Mrs. Moore to resist his apprehension.
He denied both these charges, but Mr. Hancock's
assistant was sure he was the person who took the
earring.
The police having intimated that a good deal
could be ascertained of the prisoner's character if
time were allowed,
The COurt deferred sentence until next session.
The cashbox and the contents were recovered.

[Apvlurrrs43lENT.]—Holloway's Pills,—Pure Blood.—
As this vital Maid, when in a healthy state, sustains and re-
novates every,part of the living system, but when it be-
comes impoverjshed or impure exerts a precisely contrary
effect, it is ablitalantly manifest that any medicine which
does not reach:the circulation can never exterminate the
dilease;_ kut any preparation capable of exercising a sani-
tary influence over the blood, must with it be carried to
every living -fibre of the frame. The lungs, heart, livbr,
kifineys, and skin, all receive benefits from its more whole-
some condition. Holloway's purifying pills operate di-
rectlyt.powerfully, and beneficially upon the whole mass of
blood,.whether venous or arterial. They strengthen the
stomach, exoite the liver and kidneys, expel disease, and
prolong existence.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Mothers and nurses will find Du
Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food admirably
adapted to remove all disorders of the stomach and bewela to
which infants and children are at all times liable, au h
indigestion, flatulency, colic, dysentery, diarrhoea, consti-
pation, debility' and restlessness. It strengthens, non-:
rishes, and is used with more tulVantage than milk in
rearing infants. We quote a few out of many testimo-
nials :—" Amsterdam, 31st Dec., 1852.—Dear Sir,—Our
• child, up to the lure of eleven weeks, was very delicate, and
wasting away, and' milk, sago, and arrowroot turned sour
I,4snittiitornaeh„ causing great suffering. We then fed it
upon Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, which agreed won-
-1 dorfully with her; and she is now, at the age of nine
months, a plunt:o'and lively little girl.—Daniel Serves."
Wildorvank, Holland, 20th Sept. 1853.—Dear Sir,—Our
baby, which Heaven presented us with,ten months back,
was attacked, when four weeks old, with. a disease of the
stomach and glands, by which our seven previous infants
had all been carried off, and this last child seemed destined
to follow its sisters and brothers before many days, for our
doctor, a very able practitioner, had, during three weeks exhausted all hi, skill, and was at a loss what to prescribe'
next, when he advised Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica,
which, I am happy to say, worked a great change for the
better in a few day. 4; and in six weeks' time the child was
perfectly well, and is now a cheerful blooming boy-:-.:1 source of the greatest happiness to us 11. Vaahnan."
