CLERKENIF ELL SESSIONS.

Saturday the celebrated Major James George Seatiqa
Lillie, was put to the Bar, charged upon two indtd-
ments, with having defrauded Mr. France, uphol
lie►er, Pall• Mall, of 4.5. 6i. and Mr. Gow, his fore-

man, of as.
Mr. GLEED GM, it would anfwer no other pupae
than that of gratifying the curVfity of the Court to
proceed with the trial, as he felt it was out of his
power to futlain the indiaments. In the one cafe,
the prifoner had afked the Profecotor to change him
a 201. note, and in the other a tol. note, before he
requeiled the loans, which were the fubjefts of the
indiBments. It therefore could not be laid that he
had obtained thefe fums by falfe pretences; as f,Jr
any thing that appeared, he might aetually have
wanted change for the notes ; for there reafons he
Ihould content to the prifoner's being acquitted.
Mr. MAINWAILING approved of the candour of the
Learned Counitl, fur he had no doubt of the Major's
wanting the change of the 201. and tol. notes, whe-
ther he had fuch notes in his poffeffion or not. The

prifoner was ordered to be difc- barged.
An appeal was made to the Court for a detainer
againfl the Major for an offence committed in Surrey.
He was, however, ,permitted to leave the Court, an
offence committed in Surrey not being cognizable in
Middlefex.
The Major was extremely well dreffed, and dif-
played the fame degree of fathionable non (balance that
has hitherto diflinguithed his public appearances.
Henry Cox, otherwife George Scarf, otherwife Puny
eli, otherwife Burnell, was tried and convided for
obtaining, under talk pretences, 2158 fquare feet of
Yoikfhire paving, from Meffrs. Abbey and Either, of
Parliament•place, Abingdon-ftreet, (lone merchants.
The paintr faid that this was the firft time he had
ever been brought into a court of joftice. The Chair.
man, however, reminded him of his having been in
the Compter formerly, when he was releafed on con-
dition of his going to fea.—The Court fentenced the
prifoner to be tranfported beyoud the feas for feven
years.
John James Jennings was fined 405. for an afratilt,
and Robert, who was faid to be the brother of Geo.
Oliver, a well•known fighting man, was fined 51. for
an affault upon an old woman. Mrs. Clutterbuck,
the wife of a Sporting Gentleman, who is an intimate
of the Sporting Colonel, was a witnefs on the part cf
the profeeution, and a very zealous fupporter of the
old lady.—Several other fentences were paired, and
the Court adjourned.
Yelterday a Gaol Delivery took place, when Efi-
zabeth Lawrence, of greater prtune telling fame than
any lifter in the metropolis, was brought up under
the Vagrant Ad. The Defendant, a middle-aged
woman, attired in black, lived for many years at a
houfe in Evangelifi-court, near Apothecary's Hall,
where her predklions were courted by females of all
defcriptions from far and near. Her habitation be-
came fo notorious, that a twelvemonth face fhe was
taken up and committed to durance vile. After her
releafe the became ajlorift, at No. 2, Crawfordipaf-
fage, Clerkenwell ; but her fituation :was not pro-
pitious to her proleffion. A finial's &op was appo-
fite the million of the prophetefs, and the females
of more delicacy than others, were fo annoyed by
the vulgar ejaculations of the workmen, that her bu-
liners decreafed, and the entered into litigation with
there common ditiurbers.
One of their wives became a fubfcriber to the
fold's lane, and the was informed her black hufband
would loon die, and the would then be happy. This
woman, with another of more tender years, who UNs
to marry a gentleman and become a Lady, were wit-
neffes againft the Defendant, and the faff of laying
out the cards was by them eflablifhed. Tke CHAIR-
MAN after advifing the Defendant to defift from her
illicit pradices, fentenced her to be inejuifoaed three
inoatio.

. On Wednefday fe'nnight a young man, a flaw,
named Reilly, was killed by a fall from a scaffold, at
a new building on Henney's Road, Waterford.
SARAH ECISFORD, aged thirty.five years. When
fira this cafe of Scrophula made its appearance it
was in the abforbent glands of the neck, which be-
came rather thickened, and then advanced to a hard
tumor ; the applied to a medical gentleman who
brought it to foppuration, he then opened it, and
the neck became ulcerated from the ear to the ghoul-
der ; tumors foen firmed in the falivary glands, un-
der the chin, in the parotid, by the tide of the ear,
and the abforbent glands on the other fide. She
was admitted an out patient of St. Bartholomew's
Hofpital for eight months, without receiving any
relief. At this time, by the advice of Mary Efdaile,
who had experienced relief at the Difpenfary, Soho.
fquare, the began taking the Drops, and continued
them for the !pace of a twelvemonth,- when the ul-
cers healed, and the became perfedly well.
