MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, June 3.

The June General Sessions of the Peace for the
County of Middlesex commenced this morning, at
the Court-house on Clerken well-green, before Mr.
Bodkin, assistant-j u dge.
The calendar contains the names of the large
number of 100 prisoners for trial, a longer period
than usual having elapsed since the last session.
That circumstance was alluded to by the learned
Assistant-Judge, in his charge to the grand Jury.
Of the 100 prisoners, 84 were charged with felony,
and 16 with misdemeanours.
A great number of cases of larceny from the per-
son were disposed of in the two courts, in the
greater part of which the prisoners pleaded guilty.
Thomas Sparks, 23, horsehair dresser, was in-
dicted for stealing three bags of feathers, three
bags of down, and a quantity of horsehair, value
altogether £7O, the property of Thomas James (put
in the calendar as Lawes), feather merchant and
cabinet-factor, of 65, City-road. He pleaded
guilty.
Mr. Sleigh was for the prosecution. Mr. Ribton
appeared for the prisoner, and called witnesses as
to character.

The prisoner had been in the prosecutor's service,
but was not at the time of the robbery, though he
took the property off the premises. He had a wife
and family dependent upon him for support.
His lordship said it was a very aggravated offence
and passed upon him the sentence of twelve months
hard labour.

Wm. Kimpton, convicted last session of a jewel
robbery at Lady Dungarvon's was brought up for
for judgment. His sentence was postponed to give
him an opportunity to disclose where the property
was, or the remaining portion ofit, but he gave no
information. The Court sentenced him to twelve
months' hard labour.

Frederick Blayney, 24, bookseller, was indicted
for feloniously stealing two pianofortes, value £26
ss. each, the property respectively of Richard Cook,
Joachim Stohmenger, and another.
Mr. Sleigh prosecuted.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.
Ire had hired the pianos and then pledged or
sold them.

The learned judge sentenced him to 18 months'
hard labour, and severely reprimanded one of the
persons who had received one of the pianos, and had
removed the original plate of the maker's name, and
substituted one of his own.

Mr. Sleigh suggested further proceedings.
Thomas Edmonds, 43, a toll c llector in the
Cambridge-heath-road, was indicted for assaulting
his wife and daughter with a poker. He pleaded
guilty.

- The wife said it was done in a fit of drunkenness,
and pleaded hard for a lenient sentence.
The prisoner was sentenced to six months' hard
labour.

John Haywood, 44, pleaded guilty to a charge of
feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling-
house of Noel Harris, and stealing therein 42 yards
of alpaca and other articles, value £4O, and £2O in
money, his property, &c. A former conviction and a
sentence of four years' penal servitude were proved
against him.

-The Court sentenced him to seven years' penal
servitude.

SECOND COURT.

(Before Mr. Payne.)
John Clifford, 29, was indicted for stealing a
watch, value £3, the property of John Irvine,
from his person, as he was stepping on board a
steamer at Hungerford pier. He was detected in
the act, and on being searched the watch was
found in his pocket.
The learned Judge sentenced him to 12 months' -
hard labour.

John Cook, 23. was found guilty of stealing a
watch from the person of Alfred Kaines.
Mr. Cook prosecuted, and Mr. Cooper defended.
This robbery was committed in the New North-
road, as a corps of rifle volunteers was marching by.
The prisoner had been convicted before.

The learned Judge sentenced him to four years'
penal servitude.
