CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice WIGHT7HAN and Mr. Justice
CRESWELL.)
THE CASE OF THE AUGUSTA.

On the Learned Judges taking their seats to-day, at
ten o'clock,
Mr. Justice WIOHTMAN stated that he and his Learned
Brother had turned their attention since yesterday to the
arguments that had been put forth in this case, and they
had come to the conclusion that the best course to adopt
would be to postpone giving judgment till the next
session ; the defendant, an the meantime, putting in the
same bail for his appearance as he had done before.
James Tayler and Thomas Bacon, the one a tailor and
the other a bricklayer, were convicted of a burglary in
the dwelling house of John Liverside, at Southgate, and
stealing two bank notes, value 301., fifteen sovereigns,
four half sovereigns, and a watch, value 155., and sen-
tenced to ten years' transportation.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
J. Gardner was indicted for stealing a silk handker-
chief from the person of Mr. G. Cooper, and R. Rain-
ford was charged with receiving the same, knowing it to
have been stolen.

J. Burton, a policeman, stated that on Thursday last
he saw the prisoners together in Hyde-park, carrying
on their usual occupation of pocket-picking. He saw
the prisoner Gardner taking something out of the pro-
secutor's pocket, the other prisoner, Hanford, " cover-
ing " him during the operation.
It was proved that Rainford was before convicted of a
similar offence. He was now therefore sentenced to ten
years' transportation ; and the prisoner Gardner was
sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard la-
bour. The sentence on the other prisoner was after-
wards commuted to two years' imprisonment.
James Bozlett was indicted for stealing several articles,
the property of Adam Day.
The evidence was conclusive against the prisoner, and
he was found guilty.
COMMON SERGEANT—You and I have met before?—
Prisoner—Not at all my Lord.
COMMON SERGEANT—YeS, we have ; and you are so
incorrigible that your fellow prisoners are not safe in
your company. Prisoner—l don't know what you mean.
COMMON SERGEANT—Yes, you do, very well. You
stole a handkerchief last, and it was found on your neck.
The sentence of the Court is, that you be imprisoned,
with hard labour, for one year.
John Green was placed at the bar, charged with at-
tempting to destroy himself by throwing himself into a
pond near Clapham common.
It appeared from the evidence of a person named
Maria Russell, that she saw the prisoner near the pond
on the 11th of this month. He said that " from dust he
came and to dust he would go, and would threw himself
into the pond." He did so, aad was taken out insensible,
but was restored.

The prisoner said that his board and a bag of nuts
were stolen from him coming from Camberwell fair, and
he did not know what he was doing. He took a little
drink and fell into the pond.
The jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced to
five days' imprisonment in Newgate.
A collection was made up for the prisoner, who seemed
to hare but little intellect. He was told that a board
would be purchased for him, and that he would get home
money to buy more nuts. The poor fellow seemed over-
joyed, and promised that he would not attempt to drown
himself any more.

BOW-STREET.-(THUS DAY.)
A young man and woman, named John Williams Ha-
milton, and Mary Anne Smith, were placed before Mr.
Jardine, charged with being found locked in each other's
arms in a stable, in Ilungerford-market.
The officer stated, that he saw the stable-door open
last night, about twelve o'clock, and on going in, and
examining with his light, he discovered the two pri-
soners in each other's arms, with a horse-cloth thrown
over them. He roused them up, and took them into
custody.

The male prisoner, who looked rather sheepish when
he was called upon for his defence, said he had met the
female in the street, and having been acquainted before,
and it being late, they went into the stable, as he was
fearful of being locked out at his lodgings. He knew
the owner of the stable.

The girl who hid her face during the examination,
and who appeared to be a servant, said nothing.
Mr. JARDINI. said they had rendered themselves liable
to imprisonment, but as it did not appear that they had
any felonious intent, he would discharge them this time.
They were accordingly discharged.

CLERKENWELL—(THIS DAY.)
A cabman, badge 3,925, was charged with being drunk.
The poor fellow, who has grown gray in the service of
his master, and was never before convicted of any
offence, became so completely overcome by intoxication
on the previous day that when called from the cab-stand
at Seymour-street, Euston• square, he was ten times more
senseless than the horse. Police-constable E took him
into custody. He put ss. in the poor-box, and thus was
saved from the disgrace of a conviction, of which he
seemed to entertain a salutary horror.
The reporter has been requested to acknowledge the
receipt of the following sums which have been received
for the benefit of Charles Simmons, whose case has
appeared in The Sun:—Henry Bertrand, 14s. ; X Y Z,
1/. ; a Jew, 10s. ; E. T., 1/. ; B. E., 10s. ; by Simmons,
at his own residence, Anonymous, 2s. 6d. ; Mr. Gurney,
the banker, 10s. ; a Lady, ss. ; a Gentleman, 11. ; Ditto,
10s. ; a Lady, 2s. ; Post•olbce order, 11. The readers
of The Sun will be glad to learn that the result of the
inquiries into Simmons' character fully justifies public
benevolence.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY )
Elizabeth Preston, about thirty-five years of age, of
rather superior manners and address, although her
clothing was literally in tatters, was charged with
begging in Stafford-street, Bond-street.
William Horsford, the head-constable belonging to the
Mendicity Society, stated that about seven o'clock last
evening he saw the prisoner beg of five or six different
gentlemen passing by. In pursuance of his directions
from the Mendicity Society, he took her into custody.
She had not succeeded in obtaining alms from either of
the parties whom she had importuned.
Mr. MALTBY—Is she known here ? liorsford—l do
not kno her, sir; I do not think she has been here before.
Prisoner—Yes, I have ; two months ago I brought a
letter to you, Mr. Maltby, from a sister of mine at the
West-end, who is in a very distinguished family. You
relieved me then ; buc afterwards became destitute.

Horsford said there was no doubt about her statement
being correct ; and, believing her to be deserving of
assistance, he would, with the Ildagistrate's permission,
refer the case to the consideration of the Mendicity
Society.
Mr. MALTBY said that would be the better course to
pursue ; and, for the woman's immediate necessity, Le
would himself give her half a crown.

The unfortunate female expressed, with strong feel-
ings of emotion, her sense of the Worthy Magistrate's
kindness.

UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
John Tine was charged with stealing a time-piece from
the house of a Mrs. Martin.

The prisoner was observed the preceding afternoon
walking from the direction of the complainant's house
with something bulky under his coat. When he was
stopped, a valuable time-piece was found concealed
underneath his great coat, which he attempted to throw
on the pavement, but was prevented. On subsequent
inquiry it was ascertained that during the momentary
absence of the complainant's servant from the street-
door, which she was cleaning at the time, the parlour
was entered, and the time-pieee stolen. The article
being subsequently found in the prisoner's possession, he
said that he found it in the street ; and as it is suspected
he has been engaged in several robberies of a similar
description, he was remanded.

CITY OF LONDON REGISTRY.

(THIS DAY.)

The revision of the Livery lists having terminated
last night, the Court, at its sitting to-day, proceeded to
the revision of the household and freehold lists. Pur-
suant to notice given at the rising of the Court yester-
day evening, the Revising BarriAter first took the lists
of the parishes contained in polling, or Parliamentary
wards, of Aldersgate Within, Aldersgate Without,
Aldgate, Billingsgate, Basingham, and Coleman-street.
Upon the household lists of the parish of St. Anne
and St. Agnes being called on,
Mr. Wansey said he considered that several of the no-
tices of objection which had been served in those parishes
upon the overseers were invalid, because they were not
sufficiently specific and definite. The overseers in the
City of London had two lists—namely, the household
and the livery list, and he contended that it was neces-
sary that, in objecting to the party, the notice should
specify whether he was objected to as a freeman or a
householder.

Mr. Quin contended that this precise specification was
not at all necessary, according to the intention and spirit
of the Act of Parliament, because in this case the
objection could be only applicable to the names upon the
household lists. Under schedule Cof the Act there was
a specific form to be observed with respect to the notice
of objection to be served upon liverymen, and the same
was the case with respect to householders ; therefore the
notices of objection having been served according to the
provisions of the Act, those notices which were objected
to on the opposite side must be held to be as against
householders.

The Court concurred in the views of Mr. Quin, and!
confirmed the validity of the services of the objection.
Mr. Wansey gave notice of his intention to appeal.
CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.—During the revision of the
list of Aldgate ward, the names of several persons hold-
ing official situations in this establishment, was objected.
to by Mr. Wansey ; amongst whom was Mr. Bouker,
the writing-master to the hospital. It was contended,
that Mr. Banker was not entitled to vote, inasmuch as
his residence was within the precincts of the hospital.
In support of the claim, evidence was adduced by
Mr. Quin, to show that the residence which he occu-
pied in the hospital was considered to be part of his
salary, and that if he were to reside out of the house he
would receive an extra allowance.
A long argument ensued upon the point between the
agents on both sides, which was terminated by Mr..
Wansey consenting to withdraw his objection, and Mr..
Bouker's name was consequently allowed to remain on
the registry.
The revision of the household list proceeded but slowly,.
the Courehaiing got no further 'Wan the Parliamentary-
Ward of Alelersgate.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Rather an extensive supply of English Wheat has
been received up to our market since Monday. The
trade with that grain was consequently extremely dull,
and prices were barely supported. The imports of
Foreign Wheat have been small, and the show of sam-
ples this morning was rather scanty. The sale, however,
was extremely dull, and the quotations were, in some in-
stances, a trifle lower. The supply of Barley wag good.
All descriptions were a mere drug, and decidedly cheaper.
In Malt next to nothing was doing. Oats, Beans, and
Peas, ruled about stationar3ft.....
