SUMMARY OF NE

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the Learned ASSISTANT JUDGE, and a full
Bench of Magis!ratcr.)
The second Mai eh sessians for The county of Middlesex
commenced this.. morning, at ;en o'clock, in the Court-
house, Cleikenwell•gri en, \ellen the number of prisoners
whose names appeared upon the calendar for trial %%ai
eighty .nine; of whom eighty-one were charged with
felony, the remainder being for assaults and mis-
demeanants. In none of the cases did there appear any
features beyond those ordinarily corning before the Court.
Owing to the circumstance of it having been expected
that the horrible and revolting atrocities which hive
dis,;raced the metropolis in the Spa fields burying-
round would have been brought before the Court to•
day, and owing to the fact of the Court 'ionic being in
the immediate neighbourhood of the churchyard, the
Court was dens.ly crowded by the inhabitants, who ex-
pressed strong hopes that the most stringent measures
would be taken for the repression of the nuisance. It
was understood that a bill of indictment would be pre-
ferred before the grand jury by the parish authorities
against the parties who are the ostensible proprietors of
the burying-ground, at as early an hour as possible.
An omnibus-conductor, named Joseph Sleigh, was in-
dicted for stealing half-a-crown, and two shillings and
sixpence in silver, the property of William, Archbishop
of Canterbury. In another count of the indictment. the
property was laid as that of George Henry Maugham
The charge was in reality for taking the amount
of money specified from the pockets of a gentlemen
named Beache, who had died in the cab. The particu-
lars have appeared. The property was de.crib, din the
indictment as that of Mr. George Henry Vaughan, as
the next of kin and executor of the deceased, and also as
belonging to the A rchb.shop of Canterbury, as the
ordinary of the diocesan district.

Mr. PAYNE made a very able speech in defc-nce of the
prisoner, and contended that in the incidental hurry and
confusi,kn any other person might have taken the money
as well as the prisoner; after which he called several
witnesses who gave him an excellent character.
The jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver-
dict of acquittal, and the prisoner left the dock.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Two men named Amos and Josephs were fined ss.
each, or seven days' imprisonment, for setting two dogs
to fight in St. John-street, at five o'clock on the previous
evening.

Thomas Harty was charged with an assault of a very
savage nature on the landlord of the Red Lion public-
house, Warner-street, Clerhenwell.

The prisoner became exceedingly insolent to the land-
lady, upon which the landlord told him to go out ; he
refused, and the landlord with great violence strove to
eject him, the landlady likewise attacking the prisoner,
who, in defence, seized a quart pot, rad struck the com-
plainant on the head with it.

The prisoner was fined 55., or five days' imprisonment.

highly creditable manner in w hich he had conducted his
house, and which had given satisfaction to all the neigh-
bouring gentry, the bench had determined on granting

FATAL ACCIDENT AT STEFNEY FAlR.—Notwith-
standing the immense concourse which assembled yes-
terday in the various streets and open spaces which form
the /ora/e of Stepney-'air grounds, not a single accident
of any consequence occurred until just before midnight,
when a man of colour, named ])avid Morris, who was
employed in turning one of those extremely high re-
volving machines, which, if not the most attractive, are
at least the most obvious objects at English fairs, was
seized by the iron handle, which, at the height of its
action, struck him in the stomach, and dashed him to
the earth, a distance of about twenty-five feet. He was
picked up quits insensible and conveyed to the nearest
surgeon, .Nlr. Falconer, at the corner of Arbour-square,
Commercial road, but, on arriving there, lite was quite
extinct. Frem inquiries made this morning by our re-
porter, it appears that the sad accident was entirely at-
tributable to the unhappy man's own fool hardiness. It
is usual in these machines to provide against
danger to the man at the wheel by erecting a breast-work
around the scaffold in which he is employed, but Morris
refused to avail himself of this precaution, alleging that
he worked with more ease and freedom in its absence.
When our reporter left the fair this morning the breast-
work was in the course of erection, and it is to be hoped
that this accident will have the effect of preventing such
machines from being wrought again without the usual
precaution, no matter what may be the will or the whim
of the person employed.
THE MONSTER BELL FOR YORK MlNSTER.—Yes-
terday, the monster bell, intended for York Minster, was
exhibited, for the first time, at the Bazaar, Baker-street,
and was viewed by a great number of persons. It was
brought here on Friday last, on a truck, which weighed
about five tons, and drawn by eighteen horses. It is sus-
pended by strong iron chain slings (its weight being
about sixteen tons), which are supported by four upright
pillars, fastened by transverse beams. The exhibition
will be continued several weeks, when it will be re-
moved, per railway, to York, where it will be placed in
the cathedral, in the tower, at a height of about 200 feet.
It will be placed diagonally in the tower for greater se-
curity to the building, and above 300 cubic feet of timber
will be used for its support. It is to be rung w ith two
wheels, and will revolve entirely, if necessary, five or six
men being required for the purpose. The proceeds arising
from the exhibition are to be devoted towards the pur-
chase of a clock and quarter bell, to be placed in the same
tower. The bell is to be named " Peter of York." It is
the largest in the kingdom, being five tons heavier than
" Old Tom" of Oxford, and seven tons heavier than
the celebrated " Tom" of Lincoln.. The cost of it is
above 2,000/. ; its height seven feet seven inches, and
its diameter eight" feet four inches.
PROPOSED GRANT TO MAYNOOTII.—A requisition
has been presented to the Mayor of Heading, signed by
upwards of eighty of the most bigoted inhabitants, in-
cluding twelve clergymen, for a public meeting to be con
vened, for the purpose of adopting petitions to the Legis-
lature against the proposed increase of the grant to May-
nooth. The meeting has been appointed to take place
in the Town Hall, on Friday next.
Lord Ward's coming into possession of his exten-
sive estate s will be celebrated on Thursday next, by
public dinners, at Dudley.
It is rumoured that Sir Watkin W. Wynn, Bart.,
will be the Lord-Lieutenant of Flintshire, in the room of
the late Marquis of Westminster.
