MAW AND POZION.

At the New Court, Old Bailey, Henry Somers, an uphoi
sterer, aged 26, was indicted for stealing a handkerchief
value 2s. 6d., from the person of W. S. Long; also a hand.
kerchief, vaue 25., from the person of W. Cooper, Esq ; and,
thirdly, another handkerchief from the person of W. Gresham,
Esq., the Common Councilman. The prisoner pleaded guilty
to all the charges. The Learned Judge hinted that the Court
would be glad to hear some account of the prisoner, and
wished to know whether he had any friends in Court. The
prisoner said he expected that persons would have been here.
and the Court postponed its judgment in order that he might
produce them.
Elizabeth Knowles, aged 21, was convicted of stealing
four sovereigns, the property of Mr. J. Fuller, of Walworth,
to whom she was a servant. She had been previously con-
victed, on her own confession, of stealing a quantity of dra-
pery, value 41., aid thereupon was sentenced to Brixton-
mill for four calendar months. Mr. Commissioner Bullock
adverted to the fact of her having obtained respectable situa-
tions after her prior conviction. The judgment of the Court
was that she be transported for seven years.
At Bow-street, Elizabeth Ellen Absalom, a respectably-
dressed middle-aged woman, bearing a female child in her
arms, was charged with insulting and annoying Mr. C. J.
Fox Banbury, in the public streets. Mr. Bunbury stated
the charge, when Mr. Jennings, his solicitor, said the defen-
dant was the wife of the man who brought an action against
his client, Mr. Bunbury, in the Exchequer Court, a week or
two ago. On that occasion Mr. Sergeant Jones, who opened
the case for the plaintiff, was induced to throw up his brief,
and to concur with Baron Platt in an avowal that a more
disgraceful affair had never been brought into Court. Some
arrangement took place, and the prisoner was discharged.
