STATE OF HIS MAJESTi
Prisoners under sentence of trans

George Lemon, aged 17 years, was capitally indicted
for cutting, with intent to murder or disfigure Charles
York, the prosecutor.
The prosecutor deposed that he was employed at Mr.
Davis's .'y'ard, in Jockey's Fields, Bedford-row,- in
February. 'The prisoner was a wheelwright, and about
six o'clock in the morning, witness was mending the step
of a cabriolet. The prisoner took the step out of witness's
hand, and struck him on the head with it. Witness took
it back again, saying, " George, why will you not let me
do what I was about?" Witness began to work again,
when .he received a blow on the head, which fractured his
scull, and.jae has been since deranged in the hospital. Did
net knovi who struck him.

Cross-okamined by Mr. PHILLIPS.-Witness did not
strike the prisoner with the hot step. Never asked if he
could get his expences if he prosecuted the prisoner. The
whole affair occupied less than five minutes.
James Peacock, farrier, deposed, that lie was in Davis's
shop at the time of the occurrence. York was employed
in mending a step;. saw them twisting together with the
step, but cannot say whether any blows passed; the step
then got into York's hands, when Lemon took up the iron
bar produced, and struck him on the head with it; the
prisoner then ran away.
Cross-examined—They were struggling while the step
was hot, and the prisoner the next day had a scar on his
hand which appeared to be a burn.
Samuel Carrick corroborated the testimony of the last
witness, and said, that at the time of the occurrence, and
before the prisoner struck the prosecutor, the former com-
plained of his hand as if he were in pain. The prosecu-
tor had on a fur cap at the time
Mr. Beadland, a surgeon, deposed to the nature of the
injury, which was of a very serious nature.
Septirnus Reeve, another surgeon, gave similar testimony.
The prisoner in his defence said, that he was pained by
the burn on his hand, and struck the prosecutor at the
moment, but he did not mean to do him any harm.
Mr. PHILLIPS then called the following witnesses :
Wm. Saunders deposed that he was present at the time
of the occurrence. York had done something to the step,
upon which Lemon said, " Charles, give it a blow or two
there." Lemon thought it wanted something more to be
done to it. York said to him, " your eyes, what
have you to do with it." Lemon then took the step, after
which, York wrested it from him, and struck him with it
across the hand. Lemon laid hold of the chisel, struck
him on the head, flung away the chisel, and walked out.
It altogether lasted scarcely half a minute. Lemon's father
was the employer of York.
Several very respectable witnesses were called, who gave
the prisoner an excellent character for humanity and ge-
neral kindness of disposition.
Lord TENTERDIIN charged the Jury. Verdict,—" Not
Guilty."
Stephen Stubberfield, aged 34; Spencer Whiteman,
26 ; Thomas Millar, 20; Henry Millar, 22 ; John
Spray, 24 ; Edward Shoesmith, 24; William Ben-
nett, 20 ; James Foord, 43 ; TAomas Maynard, 40 ;
dud William Plumb, 25, were removed by Habeas Cor-
pus from Sussex, and charged upon two indictments with
assembling at different times armed with blunderbusses,
pistols, stakes, &c., for the unlawful purpose of running
contraband goods on the coast at East Bourne, Sussex.
The prisoners consulted with their legal adviiers, who
persuaded them to retract their plea of Not Guilty and plead
Guilty, which they severally did. On being called up,
Lord TENTEADEN, in addressing the prisoners, observed
that they were very much indebted to the humanity of the
Crown Counsel, who had consented to their withdrawing
their first plea, for if they had been convicted on it, their
lives would have been forfeited. He hoped it would pro-
duce a good effect upon them and others engaged in so un-
lawful a system, which it was so desirable to suppress.
The prisoners, who were all strong athletic country-
men, were then removed from the bar.
James Barton, IS, alias FledericA Mandeville, was
indicted for stealing three fenders from the residence'of Sir
G. Farrant, in the parish of St. George, Hanover-square.
" Guilty" of the larceny.
The prisoner, whq wore a sailor's jacket, and described
himself as a surgeon, escaped the capital part of the indict-
ment by die fact of Sir G. Farrant having left the house
in question, and gone to reside in another, consequently it
could not in law be designated a dwelling-house.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMNION SERGEANT.)

James Scott was found guilty of embezzling three small
sums of money received by him on account of his employer,
Mr. Doubleday, a coal-merchant, residing at Pimlico...._
The prisoner had written a most penitent letter to the pro-
secutor, admitting his guilt.—Sentence not passed.
Joseph Hooker was indicted for stealing, on the 4th of
March last, four rabbits, the property of a person named
Smith, residing in Providence-row, Hackney. Au officer
proved that he found the rabbits in the prisoner's house,
and that he had kept them in safe custody ever since, in
order that they might be adduced in evidence at the trial.
The prisoner, who received a most excellent character,
stated that the rabbits had been stolen by his brother-in-
law.—Verdict, " Not Guilty."
Mary Jane Field was convicted of stealing seven spoons
from . the dwelling-house of Mr. John Adams, of Ken-
sington-court. The prisoner called at the house of the
prosecutor, and stated that she was anxious to procure
lodgings for her mistress, an eldeily lady. The prisoner
examined the lodgingi very attentively, highly approved
of them, and desired that tea might be ready for her mis-
tress,: who was to come in the evening and take possession
of the apartments. On the prisoner's departure the
spoons were missed, and upon her apprehension she ad-
mitted that she had pawned them.
_ _

There were three other indictments for similar offences
against the prisoner, but the COMMON SERGEANT deemed
it unnecessary to enter upon the trial of them.

MASQUERADE, ARGYLL ROOMS.--A
splendid Masquerade was held here last night, at which
no less than 1,500 individuals were assembled. The cha-
racters were various as usual; but with the exception of a
quadrille danced by:several chimney-sweepers, in appropriate
costume, were somewhat indifferently sustained. There
was an abundant supply of refreshments ; and an excellent
supper served up at about one o'clock.

The Manager of the Opera House is, we
understand, in treaty with DE BEGNIs for his appearance
with Mademoiselle SONTAG, in the Opera of II Barbiere
ai Siviglia. We hope so►ue arrangement may he entered
into between them, that we may not longer be deprived of
seeing this talented singer and actor in his legitimate sta-
tion ; indeed we do not know where a substitute for his
Dr. Bartolo, in the before-mentioned Opera, can at pre-
sent be found.

CLIFTON, APRIL B.—Owing to the mildness
of the weather, the season at the Hotwells has commenced
much earlier than usual. Our arrivals ere every day
increasing.

BATII, APRIL 9.—Last evening there was
a grand Concert at the Assembly Rooms, in support of the
Funds of the Bath United Hospital. On Monday Madame
VBSTRIS commenced a short engagement here. She has,
on the two nights on which she has hitherto played, drawn
extremely full houses. Sydney Gardens were opened on
Monday evening for the season. They promise to be as at-
tractive a promenade as ever.

Lord HEYTESBURY, after an absence of six
years, as Ambassador in Spain and Portugal, returned to
his country seat, at Heytesbury, last Friday. On the fol-
lowing day the principal inhabitants met to congratulate
him on his arrival in his native town. They afterwards
partook of a sumptuous dinner at the Red Lion Inn. A
handsome present from Colonel A'CounT, his Lordship's
brother, of a hamper of champagne, added to the hilarity
of the day

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCCANGE.—ApriI S.
Since this day week the Imports have been very small,
and in consequence of the Corn Resolutions, an advance
of 2d. to 3d. per 701 b. on Wheat of all qualities, and of
Is. per sack on Flour has been demanded, which, although
several prrcels of Wheat have been taken on speculation,
has been reluctantly submitted to by the Millers and
Dealers, and as the Holders generally appear less willing
to press sales, the business done during the past week
an any article, free or bonded, has been very limited.—
To this day's Market, (to whick the supplies have been
considerably increased by arrivals yesterday) the above
remarks are perfectly applicable ;—quotations of Wheat
are accordingly increased 2d. to 3d. per 701 b., of Flour
Is. per sack, of Malt Is., and Malting Barley 2s. per
quarter. In other Articles no alteration.

Mr. RICKARDS, the East India merchant,
has commenced a work ou India, intended, more particu-
larly, to diffuse a correct knowledge of the condition of the
native population, and of the causes which have obstructed
its improvement. The first part, which has just appeared,
relates to the castes of India, and the habits of the Hindoos.
It will be followed by disquisitions on. the revenue and trade
of the Company, with suggestions for a reform in the ad-
ministration of India. Mr. RICKARDS'S weal-known ex-
perience will, no doubt, cause peculiar value to be attached
to his opinions on stich subjects.
