CENTRAL CRIMISAL COURT.

A special session of the above Court was held on
Saturday, in accordance with the provisions of the
Central Criminal Court Act, for the purpose of fixing
the days for holding the sessions in the ensuing year.
The Learned Judges who attended were the Lord
Chief Baron, Mr. Justice Patteson, Baron Alderson,
Mr. Justice Erskine, Mr. Justice Coltman, Mr. Justice
Wightman, Baron Maule, Baron Rolfe, Mr. Justice
Cresswell, and Mr. Justice Coleridge. The Learned
Judges were ushered into Court by the Lord Mayor.
Mr. CLARK, the Clerk of Arraigns of the Central
Criminal Court, then said that the periods for hold-
ing the sessions for the ensuing year had been fixed
as follows, by order of the Court.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON said it was not the order of
the Court, but according to the terms of the Central
Criminal Court Act—the order of not less than eight
Judges.
Mr. CLARK suggested that the Learned Judges
formed a Court for this purpose.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON intimated his opinion that
the term was not in accordance with the provisions of
the Act.

The form was then amended. The following list
of the periods for holding the sessions was next read :
1844.—Monday, Nov. 25; Monday, Dec. 16.
1845.—Monday, Jan. 6; Monday, Feb. 3 ; Mon-
day, March 3; Monday, April 7; Monday, May l 2;
Monday, June 16 ; Monday, July 7 ; Monday,
August 18 : Monday, Sept. 15 ; Monday, Oct. 27.
The LORD CHIEF BARON then inquired, whether
there was any other business to transact, and
Mr. CLARK having replied in the negative, the
Court was adjourned to November 25.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.

A well-dressed man, named James William Poyntz,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Twyford, charged
with obtaining a gig from Mr. Holdman, a coach-
maker, and selling the same.

Mr. Samuel Ifoldman, of 128, Long-acre, stated
that about eleven years ago, he believed in January,
1833, the prisoner came to him and ordered a tilbury
to be built for him. Witness agreed to perform the
job, and the prisoner then said he wished to have a
vehicle which he might use until the tilbury was
finished. Witness said he could lend him a gig, arid
the prisoner desired it might be sent to a livery-stable
in Marylebone, which was done accordingly, and
witness never heard of the prisoner or saw him again
until this morning. He heard, however, that he had
sold the gig for IQ, but the person who purchased it
was not present. The prisoner had called at wit-
ness's shop last evening, and said he wished to pur-
chase a vehicle, if Mr. Holdman would give him six
months' credit. Witness was not at home, and
his clerk could give no answer, and the pri-
soner desired that if Mr. Holdman would agree
to his terms he would meet him at his (prisoner's)
agent's in the City. The address given was " Mr.
Wentnall's, 1, Angel-court, City." Witness went
there, and recognised the prisoner as the person who
had obtained the other gig. He entered into conver-
sation with him, and at length gave him into custody.
The prisoner, in his defence, (1:- clared that the gig
had been purchased by him and paid for.
Mr. TWYFORD said it was a very suspicious case,
but he must have the evidence of the person who pur-
chased the gig before the prisoner could be committed
for trial. He therefore remanded him until Wed-
nesday.
