OLD BAILEY, SEPT. 23.

Macdonald Smith, Thomas Gutteridge, Sophia
Meyers, and Many Tarim were indicted fur bar-
glarionsly breaking and entering the dwelling-
house of Thomas Smith, and stealing three silver
spoons, and divers articles of wearing apparel.
Mr. Smith, the prosecutor, stated, that he kept
a boarding-school at Kentish-town, called Gor-
don-house Academy. On the 19th of July the
house was broken open, and the articles specified
--in the indictment were stolen. His servant maids
were last up in the house, and they could speak
to the fastening of the dears.-lElary Denham
stated that she fastened the doors on the night of
the robbery, and in the morning her fel!ow-ser-
rant informe' her that ti►e shoe house had been'
opened, and the house entered by means of that
part being opened. She examined the several
things produced, and said they had been stolen on
the night when the house was broken open.
The officer stated, that having received in-
formation of- the robbery, he met the two tnalc
• prisoners the next moreing ; they had each a bun-
dle ender their arms ; having suspicion of them,
he stopped thenr, and, on examining the bundles,
several articles stolen from the prosecutor were
found. The officer next searched the lodgings of
the female prisoners, who were known to be con-
nected with the male prisoners, and in their apart-
ments several other of the stolen articles ►ere
found. Ihe Jury found the men Guilty, the
women Not Guilty.

Several other eases. were tried during the day,
but none of any importance.

MONTEGO BAY COURT.—An action of Clint;
Con. brought by the Rev. Thomas Stewart, Rector
Of St. Elizabeth's, against a Mr. Rippingham,
was expected to have been tried at these Assizes ;
but, owing to the absence of Mr. Lewis, a material
evidence on the part of the plaintiff, it could Lot
come on. The novelty of such a case in this country,
together with the celebrity of the defendant, who
was his own advocate, having excited unusual
interest throughout the country, a vast number
of persons, from all quarters, were attracted to
Montego Bay, for no other purpose than to be
present at the trial. Immediately after the open-
ing of the Court onTuesday, the defendint, in per-,
son, respectfully addressed the Bench ,and,itia strairt
of eloquence (which some of our Banisters would
do well to imitate); represented the extreme hard-
ships lie should be subjected to by the postpone-
.nent of his trial. The Chief Justice having listen-
ed to him with much attention, observed, that
however desirable it might be to bring the matter
to issue, yet the established rules of the Court
could not, in the present instance, be deviated
from, and the cause must, of course, stand over.

grouse. It had been st:en several times, during
