otherwise ill-treating a little girl named Harvey, the
daughter of a man with whom she cohabited. This
victim attended in Court, with one of her arms,
which had been fractured by the defendant, in a
sling. She stated various acts of unnatural behaviour
towards her, an the part of the defendant, who after
the'evidence was gone through, was found—Guilty,
and sentenced to six months imprisonment in the
House of Cdrrection.

Elizabeth Hogg was also indicted by the same parish,
for cruelty to four children, who had been appren-
ticed by the parish of St. Olave, Southwark, to her
mother, as tambour-workers. She was also found—
Guilty ; but the Court considering that she might
have been under the influence of her mother's direc-
tions, sentenced her to only one month's imprison-
ment in the same gaol.
IV. Hemline and J. Doris: were convicted of at-
tempting to make their escape from Cold Bath Fields
prison, in which they had been confined for offences
of which they had been found guilty, the former
since last session, and the latter for about a year.—
In a fortnight's tie During would have been libe-
rated. They were each sentenced to three years far-
ther confinement.

G. Kendrich was charged with receiving eight live
pheasants, the property cif W. Butler, Esq. who on
the night of the 26th of December, had 68 stolen
from a collection, all tame and bred to hand. In
consequence of some suspicion the prisoner's house in
Piccadilly was searched, and himself interrogated re-
specting the birds, and also about one Gough, when
he denied all knowledge of either ; but, on proceed-
ing into a room up stairs, about 200 pheasants were
seen running about, and some in baskets, on inspect-
ing which, eight of Mr. B.'s were found, which had
been marked in the feet, and to remove such marks,
the poor birds were dreadfully eut, insomuch that the
blood seas then visible. On this discovery, the de-
fendant acknowledged that he knew Gough, and that
he agreed to buy 11. from him for ,E 1 each, and that
Gough had sent them to him for that purpose. The
prisoner's clerk endeavoured to support his case, but
failed, and the Jury found him Guilty.—The Court
then sentenced him to be imprisoned 12 months in
the House of Correction, and to give security to keep
the peace for two years, himself in £5OO, and two
sureties in £2OO each.
