THE: RESCUE GANG.—Sifinley, Harris, sem
and jun., and liardN, four of the seven men who
were convicted at the last Sessions Of. rescuing
the prisoners from the gaoler of Clerkenwell pri
son, as he was conductingi them from Marlbo-
rough-street Office, and whose sentences were
respited, upon a doubt entertained by the JUdgef,
were this morning put to the bar, -anclasked,
c 4 What they had to say, why they shOuld not
receive judgment to die according to law.?`" The,
prisoners immediately threw themselves on their
knees, and prayed 'the benefit of. Clerg..y ;
which, from the nature of their offence, the
Judges had decided them to be entitled.

The RECORDER informed them, .that. having
been convicted on former occasions of felotkies,
and having then received the benefit of Clergy,
this being their .second uffence, they were put
entitled to a repetition of the' same indulgence.
The records of their former convictions were
then read, and they admitted that they were the
persons described. The Harris's were much
affected ; and Hardy put in a paper stating that
he had been driven to the former offence by hard
necessity, adding, that he had been respectably
brought up as a miniature painter, and express-
ing a hope that he should not be excluded from
the mercy of the Crown.

The prisoners were then put back to await
their sentence, which, they subsequently iTceived
with the other prisoners who were capitally con-
victed during the present sessions.

The remaining partkipators in the outtage in
question were next put to the bar, and
,haring
prayed the benefit of clergy, were- sentenced to
12 months' imprisonment in the House of Cor-
rection, and during that time to be twice publicly
whipped.

Sentence of death was then passed on the fol-
lowing prisoners collectively :—George- Barry
and William Powell, for highway robbery ;
Robert Mott, for forgery : John Collins, fur
stealing in a dwelling-house ; Samuel Young, for
burglary ; Thomas Dolan, for stealing in a dwell-
ing house; John Godliman, for burglary ;:Andrew
M'Loughlin, for stealing in a dwelling:house ;
William Robinson and William Powell, for bur-
glaries ; 11. Parsons, Win. Dawson, and Wm.
Messenger, for uttering forged notes; .and John
Kilsale and James Pitcher, for stealing in a
dwelling-house ; together with the foursprisoners
already mentioned, known as connected .swith the
rescue gang. Sessions adjourned to :llth April
next.

METROPOLITAN LAW SOCIETY.----On Friday

ing of the Solicitors, practising in the Metro-
polis, was held at the Globe Tavern, in Fleet-
street, for the purpose of taking into considera-
tion the' Bill now before Parliament, for the Re-
covery of small Debts in County Cour,ts. Many
