OLD BAILEY, SEPT. '23.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Sergeant ARABIN and a London Jury.)
James Boyce, who was convicted on Thursday of the
assault and robbery of Mr, Puler, surgeon, of Bethnal-
green,. was again convicted of a similar assault and robbery
of a Mr. Finch, in Eyre-street, lirick-lane.
Mr. Fuller, the surgeon here mentioned as having suffer-
ed the assault and robbery, complained to the Court that
having had to attend nine days to await the trial, he laid
incurred considerable loss and inconvenience, and that
when he waited on an officer of the' Court to' be reimbursed,
he found that he was only to receive 3s. 6d. per day.

Mr. JUStiee LITTLEDALE said that the Court could not
order payment for more than 3s. 6d. a day for witnesses
generally. A professional man who should be called in,
not because of his being a witness, but in a case where
he was not a witness, and could only be called to give a
professional account and opinion of some part of a cuse was
entitled to a guinea a day. This was becanse he was con-
sulted asn person of a particular faculty, and not as a wit-
ness. On the contrary, in the present case, Mr. Fuller did
not appear as a professional man, but as an ordinary prose-
cutor, and if this claim were to he allowed, others'would
soon apply. However, he would give directions that every
allowance that could be found consistent with justice should
be made to Mr. Fuller.
John George Leach was indicted under Lord Ellen-
borough's Act for stabbing and cutting, with intent to do
grievous bodily harm to James Brooks, ybo was examined
by the Court. Prisoner came to the shop of Mr. Careless,
which goes out of Clare-market, on the 27th June, at about
seven o'clock in the evening. He spoke to witness about
1004, which he said witness withheld for the maintenance
of Miss Murray's (prisoner's wife's) child. The conver-
sation proceeded, and prisoner had his hand under his coat.
Witness was standing behind the counter, and desired him
to leave the shop, as he used improper language. Pri-
soner aimed a blow at him with his right hand (having
only one), and struck him in the left arm. Witness turned
prisoner out of the shop, and thinks that he struck him.—
ln parrying the blow, witness struck his face, but did not
know then that he was stabbed; he felt the bone stunned.
On discovering the wound, he went to a surgeon.
Mr. Justice LurrutnAt.B said, that it might come out
from the rest of the witnesses that the blow was received
in the scuffle.

The' prisoner, in his defence, denied thaj he, intended
harm to Mr. Brooks; he had nothing about him with which
he could stab him; he might have had some glass hi his
pocket, which was convenient to him, as he had lost his
arm. lie,h,ad maintained the•progeeutor's bastard child.
for three years without receiving a farthing.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE was of Opinion that there were
points of great difficulty in this case. The instrument did
not appear calculated to do a person a serious injury; the
person who first dressed the prosecutor's arm was not pre-
sent; there seemed a distraction in the prisoner's mind,
arising from private sufferings.
The Jury, after examining the knife, were.of the same
opinion, and acquitted the prisoner.
(Before the P,ECOADER and a London Jury.)

Hannah Gorman was indicted, under the statute of
George IL, as a common utterer of counterfeit coin.
It was proved in evidence, that the prisoner on the 2d
of September attempted to pass (counterfeit Shilling at the
Bull's lie#d, Smitb laid, and also at a'stall in Bartholomew
fair.

The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the RECORDER
passed the !Sentence awarded by the statute; namely, six
months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, and to
be kept to hard labour, after which to find Security in 20/.
for one year.
The prisoner had been out of prison only it month,
where she had been confined for It ,imilar offence.

Thomas Janes was indided for prodiring, with intent to
utter, forty counterfeit sixpenteic'on the 1 it. of September
lroit.—Verdiet—Uniko—"Sempieed to six mouths' ha-

• •. • NEW COURT.
(linfdre.the eniumon• 141mi:iv:AFT and a London Jury.)

Frederick Snelling ‘vas indicted for feloniously embez-
zling the sum of 501 which he had received in the name
and on account of his employer. The Jury found .him

.Sumo few other trials (for minor offences) were gone
through, but none of them were worth notice. It is ex-
pected that all the eases in both Courts will have been gone
through early on Monday, and that on that day the whole
of the prisoners convicted will be brought up for judg-
ment. • • •

STATE nu TRADE.---The iron Trade still keeps
up ; the demand for pigs I continues, and rods are in
great request. The nail trade, is; not quite so brisk,
but a confidence exists that things will not.be worse.
A house of sonic consequence in the nail trade stopped
last week, owing, as it is reported, to the foolish prac-
tice of undertaking extensive orders at consideraWy
under the fixed prices. Amidst the almost general
wreck that has lately pervaded the commercial world,
I believe this is the first failure that has occurred in
Dudley, and it is confidently expected that this will not
be a very bad concern.—lfirmingbanz Nronicfr.

The bonnet-making in Stewarton is rapidly im-
proving. About double the number of bands are now
employed than were five weeks ago, and the wholesale
prices of bonnets of every description last week ad-
'fenced from 6d. to Is. a dozen.—Glasgow Chronicle.
DISTINGUISHED HOGS.—Mr. Brady, a ye re-
spectable and extensive dealer in pigs, residing at n,
Wood-
berrow, Soinersetshire, has recently, received an order
from Mr. Bowman, of Bristol, to furnish him with
twenty of 'the largest and fattest hogs that can be ob-
tained in the country. Mr. Bownian, who is, it, ap-
pear; one of the most extensive merchants in Bristol
in the *wine line,! has received instructions from
his Majesty to procure, and prepare for inmiediate use,
fatty (i 1 the largest sides of bacon that' can be got, and,
when the order is completed, to forward them to Wind-
sor expressly for his Majesty. Mr. Brady, therefore,
has hetn actively employed in the execution of this
extraordinary order, and he has already succeeded -in
purchasing fifteen out of the twenty hogs required;
them are
some of they can
vcarcely get up, their legs not tying able to sustain the
weight of their bodies ! Each side, when rendered into
bacon by the procest, regularly adopted, will weigh
about 16011)s., or list. 61b8.—Lincoln Mercury.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

We have to notice a steady and gradual improvement in
the demand and prices of every description of foreign
produce, and, the sales have been almost exclusively to
the trade and consumers.. Indigo is particularly active,
and 51 chesti have changed hands this week,-,-.l4nary

suming

Guatimala were also taken at 3s. 6d. to 4s. Gd. for very
ordinary flinty, and ss, a ss. Gd. for ordinary middling,
Cortes, duty paid, the whole at a further advance of 3d.
per'lli. Caraccas are scarce, and much inquired after ;
our present stock is reduced to about 50 chests and serous,:
and the future currency of the market must depend won',
the result of the. East India Company's sale, to corn,
menee, on the sth proximo. For Safflower we have had
a good inquiry, and. fair .business doing; 53 bales mid-
dling and fior.East India were sold at 5/, 17s. 6d, a 6?.

port only, held at 16s. and 12 bags for home use at 15s.

the sales of the week have been respectable, at rather
. better prices,--200 tons Campeachy Logwood were taken
by the consumers at 71. a 71. ss. and 50 tons Jamaica do.

weeks for Ashes is Mill !;apported, and several limited or-'
