Cossack public-house in Norton a!gate, and the de.
fendant succeeded him in busing's. He took the,
stock according to the custom of the trade of the du-
tiller, and made himself debtor to the plaintiffs to the,
amount of £245.. He afterwards complained • (f •en.'
error, inasmuch as he had paid Coventry for the !.tock,.
and he iwi-hed Messrs. Nicholson to sue Coventry' for
it. They'refusid, and brought an action, which the ,
defendant wished to settle by paying £2OO. The ac-
knowledgment of the debt was proved, and the Jury
found a verdict for the plaintiffs for 0200.
OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.
Yesterday, Hannah Simpson wastapitally indicted
for stealing £9, the property of John Tye.
The prosecutor and witnesses were called, but did
not appear. The officer who apprehended the pri-
soner stated that he ordered them to*be in Court at
nine precisely ; and he doubted not, if the case was
permitted to stand over, that they would be there.
COMMON SERJEANT.—I shall do no such thing ;
it
was your duty to see that they attended in time. The
Court will not suffer its time to be wasted through
such blameable negligence ; call them on their recog-
' nizances, and if they do not answer, the prisoneruiust

be acquitted.
The officer made proclamation
and no person answered.
Cosistor: Sza.ra*Nr.—Let their recognizance: be
estreated, and you, GenOemen of the Jury, are bound
to acquit the prisoner.—Not Guilly.
John Oliver, a little urchin under nine years of age,
was charged with stealing an ass, saddle, bridle, Sec.
from Smithfield market, the property of William Wil-
liams. In this case as
.in the former, the prosecutor

in the usual way,

did net appear.
The officer stated, that by order of the Magistrate
he retut ned the animal to its owner, on which he was
quite satisfied, and refused to prosecute, although
bound over for that purpose.
, Coutrr.—;-Well, we must teach him a lesson; entreat
bi recogniEances, and let the prisoner be acquitted.
Samuel Ballard was put to the bar for the purpose
of making the following application :.—The prisoner
had been committed to liewgateon a charge of horse-
stealingi said to have been committed in Gloucester-
shire, and to which county he was to be removed by
Habeas Corpus, to take his trial at theensuing Assizes.
Mr. BRODRICK now moved that the prisoner might
be tried in this Court at the ensuing Sessions, instead
of at Gloucester. He had an affidavit made by the
prisoner, which skated, that his prosecutor, one Richard
Cooper, had been heard to say that he would hang
him (the prisoner) if it could possibly be done. That
if be were tried in the above county he would not
have a fair trial, inasmuch as many of the farmer-,
who would necessarily be summoned on the Jury
at the Assizes, bad lately lost horses, and that several
of them had declared that they would do all in their
I power to hang the first man who might be' taken up
for horsestealing.
The RECORDER said, such an application could not
be acceded to, and observed, that one of the grounds
on which the application was refused was, that the
Court could not believe that the farmers of the county
of Gloucester were so wicked as to suffer feelings of
revenge to induce them to violate their oaths, and the
Court would not give its sanction to so gross a libel
on a respectable body of men.' The motion must,
thet efore, be refused.
Thomas Jay (the King's postillion), the young man
who stands charged with stealing .a watch, rice. from
the person of a man unknown, on the evening of the
day on which his Majesty visited Druz plate Theatre,
was then put to the bar.
Mr. Bacontica said, he bad humbly to move the
Court that the trial of the prisoner might be post-
poned until the next Sessions. This motion was sup-
ported by the affidavits of the prisoner and the clerk
of his-solicitors, in which it was stated that at the
time of the alleged robbery he was a postillion in the
service of his Majesty, and was well known to two
persons who had an opportunity of observing his con-
duct on the evening in question, and could therefore
give very material evidence in his behalf. These
persons were not now forthcoming, but would be in
attendance at the next Sessions ; and, under these
circumstances, he trusted the Court would consent
to let the trial stand over as prayed.
. The RECORDER said, the Court would be extremely.
scary. to deprive the prisoner of any opportunity he
might have of disproving so serious an offence as
that alleged against him, and the Court would there-
fore grant the motion.
The prisoner, who wore the dress of a groom, was
then informed that his trial would come on the first
day of the ensuing Sessions, by which time he must
•be prepared with his witnesses.
Frances Potts was indicted for stealing a quantity
of linen, the property of C. Bicknell, on the 24th inst.
The prisoner went to live with the prosecutor on
the 22d, and on the 24th he detected her in removing
the property in question. She was searched, and
there were concealed in her stockings several dupli-
cates of property belonging to the prosecutor, which
she bad pledged the day before. On searching fur-
ther, a piece of Ii ash linen was found concealed
round her stays.
The prisoner in her defence said, that her relations
had gone to France, and that she wishing to follow
them, had stolen the property to enable her to do so.
The Recommit summed up, and the Jury found
her—Guilty.
John Malone, a boy only fairtien years of age, but
of the most depraved 'character, was put to the Bar
on an indictment charging him with stealing from
the person of• Thomas Morley.
The prosecutor on the day in 'question.was passing
through Monmouth-street, when the prisoner and a
gang of young thieves came up to him and the pri-
soper took the handkerchief from his pocket. The
tacts were fully made out and the Jur.), immediately

miss Reeves I. well; gave her in marriahe to
the prisoner at Bednsinster. The parties lived for
time with the father. The prisoner lived wigs,
his first wife for nearly seven years. The first time-
they went to be married they were too late, and they
went again the second day, when the ceremony was
performed. The witness had never heard that the
first marriage was null and void.
Elizabeth Roberts, of Charlton-street, Fitzroy-
square, proved the second marriage with Mary Ann
Keen, at Mary-la-boune Church. She was mat tied
lin the name of King. Miss Keen lived with the wit-
ness. Her parents resided in the country. Ilie psi.
steer represented himself as a coach trimmer. The
witness had not the slightest idea that the prisoner
.had been married before. The prisoner was taken
up at the instigation of the first wife. Did not Low
bow the mistake of the name happened. The young
woman never expressed a a ish to have it altered.
Morris, the officer, produced the certificates of the
two marriages.
The prisoner, in his defence. said his first wife had
eloped*With another man, with whom she was now
living in her father's house.
The RECORDER summed up the evidence, and the
Jury found him Guilty. He was then called up for
! judgment, and sentenced to seven years transportation.

Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife.
-SOCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so en-
►l•J7 rapured his auditors with the subject, that the mart:cl
men Sew to theirwives, and the bachelors hasteaed to be wed,' c.i;
and " The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word '• wite" is the
most agreeable and delightful name in nature.
The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compass -s the dc-
sideratuns of our enjoyment; teeming not only with happit:e•s
on earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonize with
bliss
hereafter.
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation,
it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the pasaion,,
but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which
the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it.
To the neglect of such attention are attribUtable many of tho-e
hapless instances, which, while they excite the commisermicu
of the beholder, should alto impress him with the fear of

reproach.
Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in the
tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but none especially does the
premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the
natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the ago-
nized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To .11
such, then, we address ourselves, offering hope—energy—am:-
cider strength—felicity ; nor will our advances appear que.:i9b•
able, sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs tat tweiny
years successful experience.
'fhe easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the
suspension of those blessings which concentrate the ingo.tal
wreath—for the female habit is often constitutionally wea►—
yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy improved it.to
functional power.
le every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in eirj re.
tuition of the generative economy, we. pledge our ability :o
cure speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the
unfeeling empyric from the position so presumptuously take
up, we deviate from general principles with less hesitation; di d
confident in our own honourable integrity as Members of :11:
College of Surgeons, we refer the ►uffering community of either
sex (especially those %entering into matrimonial liie) at once t 4
