watch that he gave the woman any thing.
By the COURT—Left Watson at about seven
o'clock. .Did not know whether he had it when he
went into the woman's company. Went to Lam-

Beth-street and gave information.
James Lee, an officer of .Lambeth-street, received
information, and searched the prisoner's house on

the 29th of August.
Edwards, another officer, assisted in searching
No. 12, Bell-alley, Spitalfields. The prisoner was
there. One party secured her, and another went up
stairs. In the front bed-room they found a false
floor, which they took up, and saw the watch
identified by Mr. Ridley, lying with the face up-
wards. Other articles of plate were there. Prisoner
said then that she did not know any thing of them.
Prisoner's son, and a servant were there, and were
taken before a Magistrate, who discharged them.
John Limbrick, an officer of Hatton-garden, told
her that he had a warrant to search for bad -money.
He found some. Witness related the _finding the
same as last witness, and stated that she said. to
Mitchell, another officer, that the house belonged
to her.
Mitchell deposed to the same fact, and added, that
she said she usually slept in that room.
Mr. Barrett, the clerk of Newgate, proved that
Isaac Solon-ions (otherwise Ikey) had escaped with-
but a discharge on the 25th of May.
Mr. ADOLPHus here had a part of the prisoner's
affidavit (made for the purpose of getting the trial
Postponed three days since) read, to prove that- by
the date the property could not have been there with
the knowledge- of her husband, he having
_escaped
before the watch was lost, that affidavit stating that
be was in North AMerica. •

The prisoner, who seemed much agitated,: and was
'allowed a seat during the trial, said nothing in defence.
The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence,
t►nd the Jury, after -a short deliberation, returned a
verdict of Guilty.
The prisoner was then arraigned on another in-
dictment, for receiving a watch stolen from the shop
of Robert Beauchamp, a pawnbroker, in High
Holborn.
Robert Beauchamp stated, that his shop was
broken open on the 23d of December; received
some information of a watch at Hatton-Garden;
knew-the watch directly he saw it.
John Griffin was with Henry Hithe in the employ
of Mr•. Beauchamp, and had not sold the watch to
any body.
Fogg, the officer, stated, that in the search he
found the watch in a bureau, which the prisoner
said that they might search, as the whole of
the property belonged to her; she had packed it
lip to send to her husband; she unlocked the
drawers herself.

Mr. Beauchamp was called, and identified the
watch as his property.
By Mr. BRoDERICK_If the watch had been sold
Witness would have known that fact by his book ;
kneW the watch, which was a gold one, because he
had had it about three years by him, as it was one he
would not recommend to a lady, but would not have
objected to have sold it to a gentleman.—(A laugh.)

►Mr. ADOLPHUS stated that that was his case:

Mr. BRODERICK here submitted that there was no
case to go to the Jury, as the prisoner was indicted
under the new Act, which only came into force on
the Ist of July, and his Learned Brother had not
produced any- evidence to show that the property
was received after that date.
Mr. ADOLPHUS contended, that if it was not
shown-to the contrary, the possession of the pro-
perty, if proved at any time after the Act had passed,
was the same as if it had just passed from one guilty
nand to another.
The COURT considered the objection fatal," and
Jury consequently found the prisoner, " Not
Onilty."
Another indictment was" preferred, but the same
objection applied to that, and the prisoner was taken
ll‘vay in a state of apparent exhaustion. • •.
ROBBERY AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE.

Joshua Cross and George Collins were indicted for
stealing 112 lbs. of solder, from the New Buckingham
Palace. They,were observed to -have a bulk under
their clothes, and were followed into a plumber's
shop, where they stated that they had found it near
the Regent's Park, and were out of employ. One
of the prisoners had been labourer to the plumber's
foreman at the Palace, who has absconded since his
(Prisoner's) apprehension. Through the foreman's
Issistance, they could alone have had access to the
load and solder.
Both the prisoners received an excellent cha-
l'aeter from their boyhood.
The COMMON. SERGEANT .summed up the evi-
dence, and the Jury found the prisoners both

The CHAIRMAN stated that social meetings were
attended with many advantages, they were
means of introducing man to man, of formingQl the

which had not hitherto existed, and of confirming
friendships which might before have been hut slightlyng
formed.' Society would be valuable had it nothing
more than this to enhance it; but when persons asso-

" Prosperity to the Clerkenwell General Philan-

mark of approbation. Several excellent songs were
sung in the course of the evening, and upon the
Chairman's health being proposed by Mr. Wooler,
that gentleman, in a neat and excellent speech,
(freed from every party spirit) took occasion to
point out the advantages which must necessarily re-
sult from similar societies.
The most perfect good humour and harmony per-
vaded the evening's amusement, and it is almost un-
necessary to add, that the landlord (Mr. Sheppard)
provided the party with every requisite for the oc-
casion in his accustomed style. _
