NEW COURT.

The prisoners, whose cases were fixed for trial this day,
having been placed at the bar for the purpose of being ar-
raigned, several pleaded Guilty, and persisted in doing so,
although admonished to the contrary.
The Learned RECORDER would strongly recommend the
prisoners to plead Not Guilty, as on their trial many cir-
cumstances of mitigation might come out. If any prisoner
pleaded Guilty, no mitigatory circumstances could be taken
into consideration by the Court, and their punishment would
rather be increased than diminished, while such a course
would not by any means save the public time.
Jane Leamington, 44, pleaded Guilty to stealing a pair
of shoes, the property of John Lane:
The RECORDER said, as the prisoner had no person to
give he; a character, and as she had been formerly convicted
and sentenced to three months' imprisonment, the Court
would now sentence her to six months' imprisonment and
hard labour, with the hope that such punishment would
reclaim her.

Janes Fosett, 35, pleaded guilty to stealing three sheets
and an apror! from Wm. Rich.
The RFbabEa, in passing sentence, observed that the
prisoner gad pleaded distress, and also that he could get a
good character. Both these statements appeared to be
untrue, and he feared that in this, as in other cases, a plea
of Guilty had been recorded, not from contrition, but from
a fear of that inquiry which would show the circumstances
in their true light. The sentence of the Court was, that
he be transported for seven years.
Louisa Wallis, 19, pleaded guilty to stealing a watch,
chain, and seals, value 16 guineas, from her master, Robert
Blanchard. She had been only a fortnight in his employ-
ment, and he had since ascertained that she was a person bf
improper character. She had sold the property, and pro-
sect.ttor had never afterwards recovered it.

Sentenced to transportation for seven years.
John Skinner pleaded guilty to stealing three books from
the cart of James Garraway, in Regent-street.
To be transported for seven years.
Edward Godfrey, 18, and Robert APGowan, 18, were
indicted for stealing a violin, value 55., from the shop of
John William Wyett, a pawnbroker, High-street, Shad-
well, on the 18th instant.

A person named- Clarke, on the opposite side of the
street, saw the prisoner M'Gowan take the violin from the
shop door, and hand it to Godfrey.
The prisoners pleaded distress.—Guilty.
William Jackson, 22, was indicted for embezzling two
sums, amounting to 10s., the property of his mistress,
Sarah Denman.

The prisoner was in the employment of the prosecutrix,
a marine-store-keeper, and received the money on her ac-
count, with which he absconded.—Guilty.
The prisoner had been convicted on a former occasion of
stealing brass cocks and pipes, and the RECORDER sen-
tenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for
six months—at the same time cautioning him that if he
was brought to that bar again, he should be transported
for life.

Benjamin Guest, 13, was indiCtecl for stealing a silk
handkerchief from the person of John Ireland.—Guilty.
The Learned RECORDER, after assuring the prisoner
that if again brought before him for a felony he should be
transported for life, sentenced him to seven days' impri-
sonment.

John Bolton, 23, and Thomas Tyler, 30, were indicted
for stealing a quantity of chaff, corn, and hay, the property
of James Montgomery, of Old Brentford, on the 30th. of
September.
The prisoner Bolton was in the employment of the pro-
secutor, and put an additional sack upon the cart, one only
being used for baiting the horses. When the cart arrived
at the White Bear, Hounslow, the prisoner Tyler, who is
under-hostler there, took a truss of hay off the cart, and
Bolton took the sack, and carried them into the yard. It
was not ascertained what the contents of the sack were,
but the other was filled with the usual mixture of chaff,
corn, and hay.

Mr. C. PHILLIPS, for the prisoners, contended that the
indictment could not be sustained, inasmuch as there was
no proof of the contents of the sack.

The prisoner Tyler said he had lent Bolton a truss of
hay, and the one he took from the cart was to repay it.
The RECORDER said there was a good deal of obscurity
about the case, and left it to the Jury to say whether they
were satisfied that the prisoners were guilty of the felony.
—Not Guilty.
The prisoners were again indicted for stealing four
bushels of oats, chaff, and beans, mixed, on the 2d of Oct.
Richard Clargo, the former witness, gave similar evidence.
He saw the contents of the sack.—Not Guilty.

A fire was discovered on Saturday morning on the
premises of Mr. Thomson, printer, Milne-square, Edin-
burgh. It was discovered in the top flat of the house, oc-
cupied by Mr. Thomson as a ware-room, in which , were
several works in sheets. No account can be given of its
origin, as no fire was allowed in the room, nor had any
person in the establishment been in it that day. Much loss
has been incurred by the destruction of the valuable works
deposited there, some of which bad never been published,
and which have been rendered totally unfit for publication.

DUBLIN ELECTION COMM-ISSI6

Mr. John Chambers has been appointed Chairman 0f
Dublin Election Commission, Mr. Armstrong having •Itt
signed upon one of the grounds alleged against his apP01?;
rnent by the agents for the sitting members.-31(ff4ni`
( Dublin) Register.
Mr. Armstrong being legally, and by decency, disc,
lified from accepting the chairmanship of the comtnoJ,
the worthy Messrs. Ardill and Joy, who so infelicitou?„
hit upon an active Tory partisan in the first instance,:e;
of course without favour of partiality towards Messrs.
and Hamilton, went again to work and appointed 1‘„,
Chambers as their chairman, in place of Mr. Haire, why,
indisposition, we are sorry to hear, continues. This
pointment was notified to the agents on both sides, on
turday, and it was with peculiar condescension annotnl7A
by Mr. Joy that objections, if any should be tende,7,
would be received this day (Monday.) " The comtnissl°o
is evidently mending his manners. Mr. Chambers
understand, addicted to Toryism ;. but whether his PO;
predilections carried him so far as to register a vote
of
Dublin, and give his suffrage to the petitioners, wehaven
been able as yet to ascertain.—Freeman's Journal.

Councillor JAMESON, of Edinburgh, being called '.°l'l,ll
a number of gentlemen, addressed the company assenl..
in a speech which was received with enthusiastic Cheelw°,4.
Mr. O'CONNELL then rose, and spoke to the folitlbs
effect :—Before I stood up to recognise with the eye s
