LONDON SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.)

Jane Byrne, (the prosecutor of Mr. Smith,) who
was ordered to find bail, herself in 801. and two
sureties of 401. each, to answer a charge of conspi.,
racy, this morning attended in Court with two gen-
tlemen named Hurry and Gould, who offered them-
selves as her bail. After the usual questions had
been put and satisfactorily answered, the bail was
accepted and Byrne set at liberty.
Mr. ALLEY said he could have successfully op-
posed the bail, the notice not being good, but it was
not the wish of the prosecutor to keep the woman
unnecessarily in gaol, he was disposed to act
with lenity. The Learned Counsel would here
take an opportunity of mentioning that the gen-
tleman who reported for the Tines news-
paper, had (he was sure unintentionally) misunder-
stood what he said at the Old Bailey. Any one
reading the report in the Times of yesterday, would
suppose that be had abandoned his client; he was
made to say, " that after what had passed he would
not any more appear for the prosecutor ;" now he
never made any such observation. The fact was, he
made an application without putting on his wig
and gown; in short, he did not even take off his
great coat, and the Court kindly permitted him
to go on in that state, for which he expressed his
thankfulness, and promised not to appear in such a
state again; he would repeat he had no doubt it was
an unintentional error, but it was one, if not contra-
dicted, calculated to do him a great injury; he had
no doubt what he stated would obtain publicity.
RECORDER-Mr. Alley, I should have thought
that you had lived long enough in the world to know
that we are all of us in our turns misrepresented in
the newspapers. 1 have laboured under some in-
convenience myself in that way, I can assure you.—
(Laughter.)
The Clerk of the Arraigns said there were two
indictments against Byrne which required separate
bail.

Mr. ALLEY—Oh; WC „•ill tale the same gentle-
men in both cases.

Elizabeth Roebuck was then admitted to bail.
One of the gentlemen who became her security was
a Mr. Landseer, father (we believe) to the cele-
brated artist ; the name of the other we could not
ascertain.

Sarah Toinkins was indicted for keeping a dis-
ordel ly house.
Mr. PHILLIPS, Counsel for the defendant, said
she was willing to abate the nuisance, if the City
would drop the prosecution. She was only the ser-
vant in the establishment, the real proprietor was
named Moses.

Mr. Alderman VENABLES thought it his duty to
state that the defendant had been repeatedly warned,
but she, like all others of a similar cast, stood
out as long as possible, and before the prosecution
was commenced, positively refused to give up the
house ; he could not consent to drop the prosecution.
—The case was then gone into, and the defendant
found Guilty.
The RECORDER sentenced her to three months'
imprisonment and hard labour.
Mr. Alderman VENABLES said he hoped some of
the real proprietors of this and several other infamous
houses in the city, who were people of known pro-
perty, would be brought to justice, and that it would
riot be necessary to indict their tenants.

John Grey was indicted for assaulting his wife,
Mary Grey.
The prosecutrix, a miserable-looking old woman,
said she had been married to the defendant twenty-
six years, and had several children by him; he was
continually beating her.
RECORDER—What for? Prosecutrix—Ok, .my
Lord, he is so jealous of me; it is without any rea-
son, however.
Defendant—Jealous, indeed, it is not that; it's
because you won't dress sassages for me on a Satur-
day night.—(Laughter.)
Verdict, Guilty.—One month's imprisonment.
The Court then tried a few parish appeals, and
afterwards adjourned.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supply of Foreign Wheat is again considerable: Of
English and Irish Oats the quantity is good ; but the ar-
rivals of all other articles are short. The Wheat trade is
heavy, but the factors will not submit to less prices than
those of Monday for samples that are fine. Barley, Bans,
and Pease, continue as last reported. Oats find some de-
mand at prices fully equal to the quotations of Monday.
The Flour trade remains excessively dull.
