At Chelmsford, on Wednesday, the case of Miss Richard-
son was called. It will be recollected that, at the last assize,,,
a charge was preferred against th's young lady, the daughter
of a gentleman residing at Brentwood, of stealing some silk,
the property of a tradesman at that place, and the case, from
the station in life of the accused, end the circumstances con-
nected with it, created a deal of interest in the county. On
the 4th the trial was postponed on the ground of ill health
on the part of the young lady. Mr. Straight, the deputy-
clerk of assize now called upon Ellen Mackrel Richardson to
surrender in discharge of her recognisances. No answer,
however, was returned, the defendant did not appear. Lord
Denman ordered the recognisances to be estreated.
Charles Ward and Frederick Ward, brothers, aged only 12
and 13, who could scarcely see above the bar, were convicted
at the Central Criminal Court for stealing a watch, value 505.,
a pair of earrings value 405., a brooch, silver pencil-case, and
other articles, the property of James Ward, their father. A
certificate was here put in, which went to prove that the boys
had been convicted last year in this Court, when Charles was
adjudged to six and his brother to three months' hard labour.
It was also proved that on that occasion proof was given that
Charles had been aforetime in prison for three months. Th
sentence was transportation for seven years, and they would
probably be taught a trade in the Penitentiary.
