MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

On Friday a person of the name of Davie', tvlio
lives in the neighbourhood of Queen Ann street East,
was indicted for keeping a disorderly house. A va-
riety of respectable householders came forward in sup-
port of the prosecution, but their evidence, which is
not interesting, only went to confirm the fact, •that
the defendant had been seen repeatedly romping with
the nymphs he had in the house, and at other times
quarrelling with them, and occasionally beating them
in an 'Accent manner. He was therefore found
Guilty, but the Court deferred his sentence.
Saturday J. Powell was indicted on a charge of
pretending to foretell future events, and thereby int•
posing upon the credulous. From the evidence Of
one of the persons employed by the Society for Sup- ,
pressing Vice, it appeared that the Seer had under-
taken to tell his fortune, and under the pretext of
selling him a nostrum for curing the tooth-ache, took
half-a-crown for his prophecy. One of the officers
of Hatton-garden, at the moment, presented himself
to the astonished eyes of the Necromancer, and lie
was taken, with all his books of conjuration and as-
trology, before a Magistrate, and committed for
trial. Some efforts were made by his Counsel to
avert the sentence of the law from him, but to no
purpose • he was convicted.
Elizabeth Lawrence was also indicted for the same
offence, and from the management of the same officer,'
aided by a woman, who went for the purpose of hav-
ing her fortune told, with a view of bringing the En-
chantress to legal jurisdiction, was convicted also.
This being the second conviction of these delin-
quents, they were adjudged incorrigible, and the sen-
tence upon Powell was one year'i imprisonment, and
to be whipped from Mutton-lane to Aylesbury-street;
and upon Lawrence, one year's imprisonment.

Bow-STRVlFF.—Satttrday Jar. L:igh was charged
with being concerned in defrauding Mr. Embry, a
Herefordshire farmer, of 551. by pretending to find a i
valuable diamond cross. The prisoner proved an cab',
by the deposition of his landlord, who swore that he
was confined at home by illness at the time the trans-
action tcok place. On searching the prisoner, 19
sham Bank notes and 15 shillings were found on his
person, but none of them having been uttered, no
charge could lie against him on account of the mere
' possession, and he was discharged with a reprimand.
...—The pretended diamond cross proved only to be
worth a few shillings.
On Friday night a most daring and cruel robbery
was committed at a house in Coventry-street. A
young =a, was about to commence business in it, as
a hosier, and had laid in a stock of hosiery, to the
amoant of between four and five hundred pounds,
and had every thing prepared for opening the shop
on Saturday morning ; he very imprudently left the
house, without any person to sleep in it on Friday
night, and in the course of the night, the house was
entered, and the whole of the stock carried off.
A few days since, a very daring ro!Jikery was com-
mitted in Sloane-street, Knightsbridge. A Gentle-
man who occupies a house in that street, keeps one
of the adjoining houses to let ready furnished ; but
at the time of the robbery, it was unlet—no person
resided in it. The Gentleman's business calls him
into the city from the morning till the evening, and
during his absence from home, the whole of the goods
in the house he lets ready furnished were moved in
carts ; and it was not for a day or two afterwards,
when he was met by a man who lets out carts and
horses, who addressed the Gentleman with hoping
11:, had not offended him. The Gentleman was asto-
nished at the question, and requested to know the
cause. The carter repliefl, that he learnt that another
i man had been employed to remove his goods. The
IGentleman assured him he was mistaken ; but the
man persisted, and the Gentleman, on examination,
bond that his house had been robbed of all his valu-
able goods.
EFFECTS OF FORTUNE-TELLERS. --.- An occurrence
which took place on Tuesday, in Oxford-road, has
occasioned much conversation in that neighbourhood.
A jeweller's wife, who possesses some personal attrac-
tions, left her dwelling in the evening of the above
day, and without making any one acquainted with
her intentions, took the Mail for Litchfield, where she
had some relatives. Her absence occasioning much
alarm at home, the husband endeavoured to ascertain
; if her apparel was missing, but on entering her cham-
ber, found disposed, in a conspicuous situation, a
!letter addressed to himself, in which, without as-
I signing any reason, she declared her determination
never more to cohabit with him. Highly affected
at this abrupt notification, the unfortunate man,
with a family of three children, was for some days
, inconsolable. On Friday, however, he received a
1 letter from Litchfield, informing him of his wife's
1 arrival at that place with a broken arm, occasioned l)y
1 the overturning of the coach, adding, that amputation
! had been found necessary, and that in the illness
preceding this operation, she had acknowledged
the cause of her eight to be owing to the predic-
tion of a fortune-teller, who had assured her she was
i destined to be the cher/ amie of a nobleman, whose
title and estate she would in a few days legally in-
. herit ; that, desirous of anticipating this splendid ele-
vation, she had taken the resolution to abandon her
husband, in hopes that when separated from him, her
charms would attract those offers, so necessary to the
I completion of her ambitious hopes. The husband,
congratulating himself that nothing worse bad re-
! sulted, has set off for Litchfield, to assure his wife in
person of her pardon/And to bring her without delay
to town.

Mr. Christopher Jackson. About the year 1766; Mr. Smile was
brought forward as a public rider, (Mr.C. Jackson having de-

and judgment in riding, as established him a first-rate jockey.—
He continued rider for Messrs. Pratt, Fcnwick, &c. until about

to Lord Rockingham, to succeed Mr. Sixgletou, as rider, who

MESSRS, LEIGH and Co. Surgeons, confine the
attention to the treatment et certain Complaints contracted I
in an unguarded hour, and that Debility whicluis caused by youth-
ful habits. Mr. LE/011 having been engaged in this exclusive
branch for the last eleven years in this house, it is presumed that
the adv-antage of such experience gives the uunost success to that
assiduity with which they devote themselves to the Cure of these
Complaints.—ln all cases of recent occurrence the cure is speedy,
and pain and danger are equally avoided. In every complicated
case, and in those distressing deficiencies, which are the conse-
quences of youthful imprudence, or the enereatlng ir.dulgences of
maturity in warm climates, their mode of trtsanent ensures a safe
and permanent restoration to vigorous health. The terms are
stated on the first interview, or in answer to letters, containing a
bank note, andin every case the most inviolable secrecy is ob-
served.--No. 29, Arundel-street, near Temple Bar.

The Reverend Mr. BARCLArstATENT AN IIBILIOUS
PILLS.
IT was a remark of the celebrated Dr. Buchan,
Author of the " Domestic Medine," that complaints of the
stomach and bowels are the prevailing maladies of this country,
which lay the foundation of the more formidable and fatal dis-
eases—that the person who could discover for the relief and cure
a safe and infallible remedy, would perform a most important
service to society. This discovery has now been made in the
Patent Antibillous Pills of the Rev. William Barclay, the exten-
sive sale of which, and the high estimation in which they are de-
servedly held, has considerably lessened the number of these corn.
plaints; and bids fair, in a short time, to be the means of entirely
eradicating them.
These Pills have a quick and safe operation, they act powerfully
and specifically on the bile, and thus remove the numerous diT-
orders connected with it—sick headaches, flatulence, liver corn-
plaiiro, jaundice, nervous disorders from indigestion, &c. They
are the most valuable family medicine hitherto offered to the pub-
lic, and the Proprietor is supported by the most respectable evi-
dence of the first characters of the Nobility, and others, that they
have never been administered to any person without giving cer-
tain and speedy relief, and In the end completing a cure.
This valuable medicine having been used with success, is re-
commended by the following distinguished perstivages ;
The Right Hon. Viscount DILLON.
The Lord Bishop of BATH and Wet ts.
Sir JOHN HONETWOOD, Bart. M.P. for Honiton.
