LONDON SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

These Sessions were held this morning before the
Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Recorder, Aldermen
Sir James Shaw, Sir Claudius Hunter, and Waith-
man.

The RECORDER shortly addressed the Grand Jury
and said there was no case in the calendar that called
for any particular observation from him.
Israel Isaacs, a dealer in old clothes, was in-
dicted for assaulting and obstructing, in the discharge
of their duty, James Roberts and Henry Lovell, two
constables belonging to the city.
The COMMON SERGEANT stated that this was a
prosecution instituted by the Corporation. There
had lately been a sort -of rag-fair established in Cut-
ler-street, much to the inconvenience and annoyance
of that neighbourhood. The Common Council of
the ward therefore determined to put a stop to the
selling of old clothes in that street, and notice was
given to the defendant and all his tribe, that if they
persisted in the nuisance they would be prosecuted.
Hand-bills were also posted in the neighbourhood,
but all these notices proved of no avail, and the
City officers received orders to take any one offend-
ing into custody.. In obedience to these orders, en
the 30th of November, the complainants went to
Cutler-street, where they found a great number of
Jews assembled, and the defendant in the act of
selling an old pair of breeches. They told him he
was acting in disobedience to the orders of the City,
and they must take him into custody; upon which
he commenced his abuse, and finished by striking
and kicking them in a most violent manner, in which
he was encouraged by at least one hundred of his
own fraternity. A dreadful scuffle ensued between
the officers and the Children of Israel, but at last
the defendant was taken into custody.
J.Roberts and H. Lovell, the officers, proved the
above facts. They said that Cutler-street was now
becoming a formidable rival -to Rosemary-lane; it
was a complete nuisance to the neighbourhood, and
that about two o'clock hundreds of old clothes men
were to be seen congregated

The prisoner sniff, he was very sorry for what he
had done, and begged pardon for the offence, but at
the same time, he was not aware that he was break-
ing the law, by offering to sell a little fruit; he was
net " an old clothes man."

The Jury found him Guilty..
The RECORDER, on passing sentence, dwelt very
strongly on the necessity, and the determination of
the City to put down the abominable nuisance; it
was, he said, the perverse obstinacy of persons of
the defendant's religions persuasion, which had made
it incumbent to institute this prosecution; and
therefore it was absolutely necessary to make an ex-
ample. The sentence of the. Court was, that the
prisoner be confined in the Giltspur-street Compter,
for two months, and kept to hard labour.
Luke Freeman, a gentleman in the profession of
the law, was indicted for assaulting William Smith,
Esq. of Do wgate-hill, on the 29th April.
Mr. Aootxnus, for the prosecution, said this was
most wanton assault. The defendant was a prac-
tising attorney, and he believed, in general, well,
conducted young man; but on this occasion he had
given way to a violent fit of passion, and broken the
law. The prosecutor was passing down Queen-
street, Cheapside, with his servant in a chaise,when
they were obstructed by a waggon. Just at this

time the defendant came up on horseback, arida!
to pass them, when the prosecutor told him it
impossible; upon which he flew into a violer
passion, and after abusing him with ' a 4!
of oaths, began beating him with an .d
stick over the head.. Upon the prosecutor!
mending his name, he was only answered
acts of abuse. Not knowing the address
fendant was the cause of the delay taking
the assault was committed. These Were
of the case. Now (said the Learned Cow
stand the young gentleman belongs to
spectable family, I would therefore adv
future, not to so far forget himself as to n 1
guage and swear. When I was a boy,
Adolphus), people moving in the best soci
to swear; but it was not now-a-dayi, he •
to say, tolerated in respectable company.
Mr. Smith and his servant proved the
Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jury for
ant. He said it was duo impatience of the
to pass the waggon that gave rise to this
assault it -could be called. The defends,
most respectable man ; but Mr.
his horse irritated him, and perhap
acted not exactly correct, although,
could charge him with committing
or violent assault ; it was-not such perm
young gentleman who now stood bei
that caused the obstructions so much corn
in the streets of Loudon. He trusted the
acquit him.

The Jury consulted for some. time, and
the defendant Guilty.

This morning at an early hour, the porter u--4 '

person but the owner, forming a part of the props;

interrogated the porter as to how he beame Pei
sessed of the parcel; he replied that it had been tot
there by some strange man, who asked if they, Wor,
sending to the west end of the town ; on being 14
swered in the affirmative, the man said it mast;,
delivered as soon as possible. Mr. Lanman ill, ,
diately went with the porter to Bow-st
and procured the assistance of an officer, wllO4
companied them to Mr. Stephens, the proPte
of the booking-office, who said he had never
