SURREY SESSIONS.—(This DAY.)

The Chairman, Mr. Haauaa, arrived at twenty minutes to
ten o'clock, and waited with anxiety for another Magistrate, to
form a bench ; but eleven o'clock arrived before any other made
his appearance. The prisoners and prosecutors looked at each other
with an expression of countenance bordering on despair, and one
of the jurymen taking up his hat, observing that "he would return
in the afternoon." The jocose tone with which this was uttered,
excited the risibility of all present. At length they were relieved
by the entrance of the Chairman, followed by Major King, at
nearly twelve o'clock, when business immediately commenced.
John Wiffin was charged with feloniously stealing an iron pin
and screw belonging to a vice. Francis Mathew, the prosecutor,
deposed, that he was a cooper, and on the 4th of last August he
left his shop, and in the morning he missed the screw in question,
and went tollyers the officer, and to several persons who bought
old iron, to tell them to stop it if offered for sale.
Noakes--I keep a fancy shop, that is, a shop for sell-
ing birds, rabbits, &c.
CHAIRMAN—You sometimes fancy old iron too, do you not?
Witness...." I fancied that:" He then proved having bought
it of the prisoner.
The prosecutor recommended the prisoner to mercy on account
of his having a wife, and a child two days old, when the crime
was committed. He was sentenced to two months hard labour
at Guildford.
Elizabeth Lyons was charged by Samuel Byford; a hardy-
looking weather-beaten sailor, with robbing him of his watch,
at a house of ill fame in Kent-street.
Samuel Byford—" I atn a mariner ; I was in the Borough on
the Ist of August, and saw the girl at the bar near St. George's
Church; she asked me to go home with her, which I consented
to, and accompanied her to a house in Kent-street."---(Here he
related sonic particulars which occurred previous to his missing his
watch.) He 'then continued, I missed my watch, which I am
certain was in my fob ; it was a silver watch. She asked me if she
should fetch some porter; I then charged her with stealing the
latch, but she denied it, (at this moment, the prisoner, with a
polite sort of bowto the witness, coolly told hint 'f he was a liar")_
witness continued I sent fOr a constable, who searched, and
found the Watch upon her, I am certain this is the watch,—
Kirby, the constable, then stated, that he was sent for by the
prosecutor, and searched the prisoner ; he could not find the watch
in searching her clothes, but foundit between the heir of her head
and her cap; she then said, that the sailor had given it to her,
hut he declared that he had not. He was as sober then as he is
now.

The prisoner made a very ingenuous defence, in which she
stated that she had gone home with the prosecutor at his own re-
quest. He assaulted her ; she made an outcry, and be then gave
her the watch to be silent. On her reftising to return it,. he
sent fur a constable, and gave her M. charge, but she was quite
innocent.

The CHailisiati, in summing up, remarked that she had made
a clever defence, in which they had her own statement, but it was
unsupported by any evidence. 'On the other aide, the prosecutor
