NEW COURT.

William Stuart Mathews, aged 18, was indicted for
stealing eighteen silver spoons, and three silver forks, the
property of Mrs. Sarah Saunders, of Golden-square.
Prisoner was in prosecutrix's employ, and had been so
for some months in the capacity of footman. On the 4th
of April, without making any communication to his mis-
tress, the prisoner absconded. The plate was subsequently
examined, and found minus the articles mentioned in the
indictment.

The Jury returned a verdict of " Guilty of stealing un-
der the value of 51."

The prosecutrix recommended him to mercy.
The Learned Judge would consider the case, but there
was another indictment against the prisoner.
Samuel Webster, aged 2.5, was indicted for intermarry-
ing with Elizabeth Thornburn, his former wife being still
living.
Cornelius Young Thisselton, sworn—l am clerk at St.
Pancras Church. I produce the registry of that parish.
On the 28th of June, 1833, Samuel Webster was married
to Ann Norden, by banns.
Mary Frith, sworn—l know the prisoner. I know the
writing of Anne Norden. That is her writing (registry
produced.) Knew them afterwards living as man-and wife.
They had lived in the same service together. Webster
told me be had married her.

Joseph Langton, of St. Mary's, Bryanston-square, pro-
duced the registry of that parish. On the 11th of October,
1834, Samuel Webster was married to Elizabeth Thornburn.

Elizabeth Smith—l was present at the last marriage.
That is my handwriting.
Cross-examined—The second wife, I believe, is averse to
this prosecution.

Mr. PHILLIPS—I will admit it. She is out of the way,
and is averse to this prosecution. Her heartbroken father
has instituted it.

A letter was here put in from the prisoner, which he had
sent to the father of his second wife. It commences by
alluding to the surprise which he had no doubt the father
will feel at hearinc, he has married his daughter. He im-
plores pathetically that he may be forgiven, as, he adds,
" I feel that her gentle spirit would soon sink under the
weight of a father's displeasure." He continues, " I will
prove to both that I am not unworthy of her hand—the
choicest gift heaven ever presented to man."
The prisoner, in defence, said, I deny the first marriage.
A gentleman of property, in whose service the prisoner
had lived for two years, gave him a most extraordinary good
character.

The Jury in five minutes returned a verdict of Guilty.
The second wife, immediately after the verdict, got up
into the witness's box. She is a very pretty-looking
woman, and apparently about twenty-eight years of age.
She was evidently much affected, and, amidst her tears,
ejaculated, " He was most kind to me."
The Learned JUDGE said that he should consider the
verdict. The sufferings of parents must be considered. He
did not know whether he should not visit the offence with
transportation.

ORIGIN OF GERANIUMS.--The Turks say that
the Prophet Mahomet having one day washed his shirt, threw
it upon a plant of the mallow, for the purpose of drying, and
when the shirt was taken away, the mallow was found to have
been transformed, by contact with so sacred an object, into a
magnificent geranium, a plant which had never previously
existed
