SURREY SESSIONS.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before THOMAS PUCKLE, Esq., and a full Bench of
Magistrates.)
Mary Ann Payne, 34, housekeeper to Major Revell, of
Round Lodge, Englefield-green, near Egham, was in-
dicted for stealing a quantity of linen and wearing ap-
parel, the property of her master; and Elizabeth Payne,
her sister, was indicted for receiving a portion of the pro-
perty knowing it to be stolen.
Mr. Joyce prosecuted, and Mr. Lilly. defended the
prisoners.
Stephen Padrian, 16 D, stated that on the night of the
22d ultimo, he was on duty at the Marylebone station,
when he saw the prisoner Mary Ann brought in drunk.
He found two letters upon her dated from the Major's
residence, which caused him to proceed there the day
after she was discharged. After some conversation
with the prosecutor he went to the other prisoner's
house and there found a quantity of napkins,
towels, and other articles. He also found on
her three pawnbroker's duplicates, which related
to more of the property. In the house he discovered a
letter written from the other prisoner to her, warning
her to put the property away, as her master intended to
search her house. Ho then took Elizabeth Payne into
custody, and afterwards proceeded to the prosecutor's,
where he apprehended the other. The latter exclaimed
that " she hoped her master would be lenient and mer-
ciful to her."

Two pawnbrokers produced most of the property, and
identified Elizabeth Payne as having pledged them.
Major Revell stated that a short time ago he came
from India with his family, in company with Lord
Gough and Major Edwardes, and having taken up his
residence at Round Lodge, he engaged the prisoner in
the early part of April last, and the utmost confidence
was placed in her, she having charge of all the linen and
wearing apparel belonging to the female portion of the
family. Among the articles stolen were valuable silk
shawls, curtains, and handkerchiefs, which he identified.
The Major's " Ayah" also identified some of the arti
cies belonging to the children. She stated that she had
seen Mary Ann Payne send parcels out of the house at
various times. She told the Major that she suspected
she was robbing him.
Mr. LILLY made a very powerful appeal to the jury
on behalf of the prisoners, and called a number of wit-
nesses, who gave them an excellent character.
The CHAIRMAN having briefly summed up, the jury
returned a verdict of Guilty against both.
Sentence upon Mary Ann Payne, twelve months at
Guildford, and upon Elizabeth Payne, six months at
Brixton, with hard labour.

MANSION-HOUSE.—(THIS DAY.)
POLISH REFUGEES.--A great number of Poles, appa-
rently in distress, assembled before this court, and one of
them stated to Alderman Gibbs, the sitting magistrate,
that they came to seek for relief and advice in their most
abject position. They were driven into this country,
from the various parts of the continent, and being with-
out any resources, and not knowing the English lan-
guage, they were unable to procure employment, and were
almost starving.
Alderman GIBBS said they should address themselves
to the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland.
The spokesman replied that the secretary of the
association was in attendance, and would inform the Al-
derman upon that subject.
Lieutenant Szulczewski, the Secretary of the Literary
Association of the Friends of Poland, then stated that
as long as the association could procure funds for
its charitable operations, which have now
lasted seventeen years, it always afforded relief
to the refugees in distress. But of late its
exertions have not been so successful, and unfortunately
at a time when the influx of the Poles into England was
greater than ever. Since July last above 200 of them
were obliged to seek a refuge on the shores of Great
Britain, and the state of the funds of the association was
so low that it could not in any way alleviate the sufferings
of those men. Luckily, several of their countrymen
abroad having been acquainted with the fate of their
brothers in England, sent over a sum of money, and it
was upon that remittance that the 200 Poles chiefly sub-
sisted here. They received 6d. a day, but even that
help has now been denied to them, as the sum mentioned
is completely exhaused. Under such it elancholy cir-
cumstances the committee saw no other way of fur-
ther assisting these men except by stating their
case to the first Magistrate of the City,
that through him a publicity may be given to the mise-
rable condition of the Polish exile,.
Alderman GIBBS said he was applied to last week by
a number of the Germans, and he could not do any-
thing for them. The Poles ought to go to the Bow-
street Police-court, as more nearly connected with the
Government, or why should they not apply to the So-
ciety for the Relief of Foreigners in Distress ?
Lieutenant Szulczewski observed that the Society
for the Belief of Foreigners in Distress decline to relieve
