OLD BAILEY.

LINES TO A WITHERED FLbWER.

Lonely tenant of N•• my;
Drooping 'mid the storm and wasted!
Yet on, upon thy silken leaf,
Ambrosial dew the bee has •acted.

How sweetly rose thy tender stem!
Fanned by the to.teriog light ett. even;
Now every leaftet—every gem,
Lie% moulleritts 'Heath a wintry Heaven.

But thou'lt revive, when genial Spring
Proms the lawn with to, y finger;
Again the bre, with wearied wing,
Upon ttly honied leaf aba I linger.

• -
•
But, ah ! when shall that Sqring arrive ?
A deathless bloom around her throwing—
My Lucy, when shah thou revive,
In renovated beauty glowing ?

Like that sweet floweret's was thy bloom--
That blomr., alag ! how %hod it lasted!
For thou %sus% laid in earl• tltub,
And all in) joys• wi.h thee were blasted!

;iPORTWG.—For the information of Sportsmen, we
deem it necessary to putl!i%h the conditions upon
which alone the Stewards of the Jockey Club will give
their opinion in disputed cases. They are as follow:
" The matter in dispute must relate to Horse Racing. The
patties must agree upon a statement of the case in writing, re-
clues: the optnam. of .I.e Stewards of the Jockey Club :la rem,
and agree to abide by their deei•ion ; and such statement and sub-
mission must be signed by the parties. If such dispute arise else_
where than at Newmarket, the reference must come through, or
with the sane:inn of, he Stewards of the Races where the dispute
happened Except the case arise at Newmarket, the Club will
not gtv., any ()potion where the facts alone are in dispute ; such as
a complaint of foal riding ; fur all such cases are most effectually
Investigated on the spot, whist the mater is fresh 111 the me-
ntories of the **news, where their attendance is must easily
procured, and their credibility beat understuo l."
B ,w-srstarr.—.—Yesterday an information Was
brought by Mr Hunt, Surveyor of tie District of the
Strand, charging Mr. Robertson,- a hatter, who has
iaLely taken a ]louse opposite the New Church, to
.avert into a hatter's shop, with encroaching upon
the fot.tpath, to the great annoyance of his neighbours.
A Professe.n.il Gentlenian attendod fi.r Mr. Robert-
vn, and argued that he had a right to bring his shop
flout out to the elltatt of tile railing ever his kitchen
wi;,dow. The Mai; straws, howeecr, were of a dii.
ferent opinion, and orih!red it ti• be removed ; but
Mr. Robertson entereal into a recognizance to appeal

to the analuilb. .
WOKS/11M7 hELT.....r. ji was charged by Mr.
Graves, tit Stoke Newington, with attempting his lite.
Mr. G. stated, that the prisoner's house was searched
in April last, on suspicion of his having stolen goods,
and thinking Mr. G. occasioned that search, lie came
to his !rinse demanding satislactrou for.the injury his
character had sustained, when he knocked him down
and drove a chissel into his head, and with a dreadful
oath he threatened to beat out his brains with a ham-
mer which he held over him, until his cries of murder
hi ought assistance, and the prisoner ned. He was
ordered to find bail. _ .

SIIADWELL-OFFlCl—Yesterday, Job, More, a Jew'
by birth, and a jeweller by trade, of Greenwich, was
charged on the oath of I:seph Bass, of Limehouse,
with having assaulted him on Tuesday Lvening last.
The prisoner had forced himseli into the prosecutor's
house in a state of inebriety, exclaiming" Where is my
love—my lite—my wile ? fly ileaVens she is, she
must be, she shall be mine !" The prosnntor could
not tell what to think, or how to act, until these excla-
mations of admiration, iu livour of his daughter, were

turned into outrage and_ violence against himself ; he
then went to a neighbouring Police-office, and had the
delinquent, with great difficulty, taken to the watch-
house. The prisoner, when asked for his defence,
placed hin.selt in a tragic posture, and commenced a
theatrical speech, which, hou ever, was interrupted by
violent vociierations from the prosecutor, demanding
justice, he having learnt, since he came to the Office,
that the prisoner was a man who, some time since,
violated the cl tastily of his daughter; and in every other
respect he now acted as incoherent as the prisoner. The
Magistrate then interposed between the parties, to
whom he recumsneded an honnurable and amicable
adjustment of the unpleasant case : he gave salutary
admonition to the prisoner, fined him ss. for getting
drank, and ordered him to give bail, for his future
good conduct.

riously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of

The prosecutor stated that he lived in Mount-street,
Whitechapel, and was a clerk in the N 4vy office. At
eleven o'clock on the 126th of September, he went to
bed, and at tseelvo was alarmed by the breaking of
a window. He immediately rose, got a light, and
went into the kitchen, one of the windows of which
was broken. Without appealing to notice it be went
away, and extinguished his light. After this he
went to a front room, and sat for some time at the
window, on the watch. Soon afterwards he heard a
noise at the window of the kitchen, and saw a person
endeavouring to remove a gimblet by which the
sashes were listened. The person having accom-
plished this, and opening the window put in a stick
with a hook upon it, which he pu►hed towards a
basket of clothes. The witness waited till he ad-
vanced his arm a considerable way in and then seized
him by the wrist, by which he hold • him, notwith•

*minor, by her directien, found the prisoner under

spring his rattle for assistance, but two of the
neighbou►s coming in, farther assistance was unne-
cessary, and the witness condocted him to the watch-
house. Upon being examined there, nothing was
found upon him but four hooks, a green bag, and a
piece of crape, which was apparently intended as a
inttsk. A constable of Whitechapel corroborated the

foregoing stmement.

_
stances.—Guitty.

niediately Bell near the prisoner, which seemed to
throw him Imo still politer confusion. Upon this,
he left the shop. Witness saw him do nothing
while in the shop, but discovered in a few minutes
after he had left it, the loss of the property specified
in the indictment, which had been taken f tom the
window. The witness having enquired if his wife
had sold them, and finding site had not, went in pur-
suit of the prisoner, whom he discovered in Fleet-

Mary Merchant was indicted for stealing rteteepper
coal scuttle. the property of Thomas Hart, a broker
in Bethnal Green.
It appeared that on the 19th of October, about six
o'clock, the prosecutor miszed the property in ques-
tion, which he had observed in his shop an hour
before. He immediately went round to the pawn-
brokers in the neighbourhood, .to advertise them and
put them on their guard, and in about half an h air
after his return to his own house, Cotton, a pawn-
broker, sent him information that his property had
come to his hands. He went to Cotton's, and identi-
fied his coal scuttle.
Mr. Cotton's shopman stated, that between six and
seveti in the evening on the 19th set October, the
prisoner came to Cotton's shop with the coal scuttle,
offering to pledge it for los. Witness told her that
he had information to stop a coal-scuttle, when she
said that she would send her husband, and a person
to whom she gave that title immediately entered, and
waited till the prosecutor was called. This person
claimed the scuttle as his property, and told the pro-
secutor that he could slim him the place where he
bought it ten months ago.
There appearing no evidence to bring the theft
home to the prisoner, she was acquitted immediately.

stealing from William Marsh several shawls, four
scarfs, and other articles, his property, by breaking

some of which are mentioned in the indictment, and
others of which he enumetated from a written list.
Several articles of silver plate, which were stolen,

cutor, a man asked him the hour, and he saw ano-
ther man with a bundle, whom he suspected, and

I up. He rung the bell to alarm the family, and the
servants coming down, witness told them the house
had been robbed. The witness, with Mr. Marsh,
examined the house, and found that it had been en-
tered at top, as stated by the prosecutor.

upon being taken into custody denied his being out
on the morning in question.—Both Guilty.
Sward Tutwer was indicted for wilfully -stabbing

about one o'clock. Soon afterwards the prosecutor
was nailing a stick on the fl air to hold a sack, and
he wanted another nail. He observed to the prison.
that he wanted another nail, and that he could

him to look for one in a hole in the wall ; that he
did look there, and found one, but that it was crook-

streightening the nail, when the prisoner, %Idiom aey
provocation, came behind him, and stablied him in
the belly ; he cried out murder, which br night pri-
sons to his assistance, and he was catried to the nes-
pital. where he remained tor three weeks.
Several witnesses, who were on the premises, de-
posed, that hearing the cry of murder ptocccti lions
the lint where the prosecutor and pris.ue n ere at
work, they run there ; they met the prisoner crtienv
down stairs, and the prosecutor follawing; with his
hand on his belly, and bleeding profusely. The pro-

asking the prisoner what was the matter, he replied.
" that d—d rascal 1" Being further asked why he
did it, he said—" you are all against me, :tad I
know what will follow ;" but gave no reason. He
said he had done it with his knife, hut said nothing
as to the cause of this conduct.
The prisoner being called upon for his defence,
said, he left it to his Counsel, who called eight re-
spectable witnesses, who gave him a most exemplary
character as a kind father and husband,. and a man
of extraordinary humanity.
