LONDON SESSIONS.

The Quarter Se-,sioos of th.! Peace for the City of
London commenced on Saturday morning, betlwe the
Lord Mayor, tile Recorder, Allermea Lucas, lfire-
brother, Gibbs, and Sir J. Duke. The business, beyond
several parochial and o.her appeal,, consisted pr;n-
cipally of cases of ass mit.
A young man carne to apologie for the ah,ence of
a gentleman who was sow mined on the jury, and
who was not in t- wn when the summons was serve,!.
The Recorder said that this was the second time the
gentleman had kept away ; the Court, therefore,
ordered that he be summoned to attend at the Old
Bailey-, where he will have a fortnight's employ in-
stead of two hours.

Thomas Moore was indicted for an assault on
Robert Cheil, on the 28th of November lat.
Mr. PAYNE said that this case verifiel the correct-
ness•of the old proverb, " Two of a trade can never
agree." The two parties keep booking-offices in Old
Change, and are rivals to each other. The prosecutor
is employed to receive at his office plate and other
valuable packages directed to the Castle at Windsor,
to H hich place they are conveyed by a carrier named
Gutterill. It app ared that the defendant received a
quantity of luggage, directed to her Majesty, and
employed another carrier instead of the person whose
name was on the direction. IVords arose between
the parties, an I the re,ult was that Mr. Moore kicked
Mr. Cheil, and did hmi considerable injury.
The prosecutor sa‘d he hai a warrant from the
Lord Chamberlain's office to receve plate and other
valuables to be forwarded to Windsor when her Ma-
jesty holds her Court at the Castle. On the day named
Lord S.adford sent a load of trunks directed to he sent
by Gutterill through the hook.ng.office of witness.
Mr. Moore got hold of them by hailing and gammon-
ing the caravan, and this he did often. On the day
ut the assault witness wens to the King's Head, and
Moore stood at the bar. Witness said to him" Well
Two Moore, you are not col eat with robbing me,
but you must rob another man." The pri-over then
mile up and kicked him on the hip, and he was kept
from busine.i.s sever,! days.

The jury found the: defendant gulty, and the
Recorder ad.jul,re-i him to pay a fine of 51. to the
Queen, and enter into ree g,itizinces in the sum of
401. to keep the peacu for one year towards all her
liege subjects, and espe,iilly towArls the prosecutor.
