Diary Semi; an interesting looking young-
woman, 19 years of age, was indicted for stealing
upwards of 601. in notes and cash, from her master,
John Booth, a grocer in Oa totd-street.--She had
been lately married, and was to leave her maiter's
house the evt;uiitg she cnn►tnitted the offence. The
money was ideutith:d by her waster, she having
left his service, and it was found in a basket in her
mother-in-law's hon Se.

The Jury were ably charged by Mr. Justice
DALLAS, who, With his itstial eloquence, impart
lity and humanity, directed their attention to the
various facts of the case, httnenting, in-the Sin..
serest manner, he could not possibly suggest one
doubt in tier favour. He felt the deepest regret
at aerial; so resrctable a young woman at thebar,
under so heinous an otience, but he was pained to
say that the case was extremely unfortunate tor
She heard the verdict with apparently deep con-
trition, and indeed sited tears I luriug the trial.—
She was dressed in ilvtp

Win. Mitchell, 23, was indicted for burglary in
the house of Edward lbw y, itt Itualulsr Llonse,
flackpcy•road. We forniery derailed tine case
very fully in our Police Rquit. No entry being;
made into the dwelling-house, the Judge (Mr.
Justice paLL.a.) directed the Jmy to acquit the
prisoner.
It appeared he was woemled by the prosecutor
firing a pistol at hint, in consequence of which hit
tell, and being searched, a roopei's glinblet, dark
lantern, phosphorus, and some matches were found
On hut. Ile told Mr. llutry, " You will find
nothing on me but mere implements of house-
brea:ting." When the verdict of acquittal was
pronounced, Mr. J ustice DAt.t4s, in a most ;tures-.
sive manner, addressed the prisoner, regretting
very much to see so respectable a young man, aria
the member of an honourahlt: family, placed in
such a situation. Ile had certainly had a narrotv
escape, and had suffered aheady very severely, and
very properly, for his conduct that night, for were
the public in general as active, and properly active,
as Mr. Hurry was, there xvould he fewer trials itt
that or :toy Court. Ile implored hint to be caw,.
lions in future, for should he again engage in
such iterations plots as the present, he would tiorl
the arm of the law too strung for him, and also
that the proceedings of this day would not bct
forgotten.
This humane address of his Lordship visibly
affected the young man, who was cal 1 ied front
the bar in a chair, having ru.iruly lost the use 0E
his limbs by the wound he received that night,
He was , genteely Messed, hut seemed ohviously
to feel much pain, and was much emaciated.
