SURREY SESSIONS: - - ••••


Yesterday M. Draper was •indicted for embezzling
the sumof IL 14s.the monies of his employers,George
Smith and John Freeman.
It was proved by the prosecutor, George Smith, a
soap-manufacturer, residing in Bermondsey, that the
'prisoner was employed by biro as a general collect-
ing clerk, and was in the constant habit of account.
ing for the monies he received, either -the same even.
ing or the next Morning. On Thursday last, the pri-
soner received from a person of the name of titorge
Gardner £1 14s. being a balance due to the prose-
cutor for soap. For this sum the pi isoner did not
account, and the next day (Fu iday) was apprehended.
The constable who searched him found in his Rocket
money to the amount of El 17s. At the watch-
house,. the prisoner said there were three or four sums
for which he had not accounted, and put down on a
piece at paper the names of the parties from whom
he had received them. .

The CH*IRMAN put it to the Jury whether there
was sufficient evidence in this case to convict the pri-
soner? The prosecutor bad admitted that the pri-
soner sometimes accounted for .the monies received
the nut morning, and on the morning after the
money was received the prisoner had been appre.
trended on this charge. It would be, perhaps, too
much to convict the prisoner, and subject him to
transportation for fourteen years upon such slight
evidence.—The Jury immediately pronounced a ver-
dict of— Not Guilty.
The prisoner Was again indicted on a similar charge
of embezzling from the same parties a soyereign and
a promissory note for £5.
It was proved, that on the 19th of August last the
prisoner had received the money from hlr. Edward
Keneton, and had never accounted for it. The pro-
secutor had, however, neglected to produce his ledger,
to prove that no entry of payment had been made.
The prisoner called some witnesses, who gave him
a good character, and the Jury again acquitted him.
Samuel Rhodes was tried for attempting to commit
a robbery, on Sunday evening, in the Sun and Dove
public-house, Coldharbour-lane, Lambetb,was found
guilty of the felony, and sentenced to be transported
tor seven years.
7. Allen and C. Cottrell were indicted for stealing
six filesj the property of Lees, Cotton, and Hallam,
iron-founders in Lambeth.
Stevenson, a gunsmith, stated that he met the
'prisoners offering the files in question for sale at a
shop in llosemary•lane, and purchased them for 3s.
Mr. Hallam, and the person who made the filec,
proved that they were the property of the proucutors.
Allen was in the employment of the prosecutors at
the time the files were stolen. Cottrell had itcentry
left their employment.
The prisoners were both found Guilty. —Allep was
. sentenced to twelve, and Cottrell to six months im-
prisonment in the House of Correction at Brixton.

At Caernarvon Assizes, Lewis Owen was convicted
of a desperate attack upon Mr. STURDY, Supervisor
of Excise, near Capel-Cerig, at whom he fired two
pistols, by one of which he was shot in the arm, and
the ball from the second pistol passed through his
hat and coat. The prisoner then mounted Mr.
Sturdy's horse, with which, and a plir of saddle-
bags, he rode off. The'prisoner wept while the Judge
was passing sentence of death, and was not enabled
to speak for some time after ; but at length,' placing
his hand upon his breast, he said, " I thank you, my
Lord; I hope when we next meet it will be in a
happier place."
EXECUTION.-- Saturday was executed, on the Lodge
of Gloucester County Jail, S. Barrilt, aged 31, coo-
-1 victed at our last Assizes of stealing three horses, the
property of Richard Hooper, of St. George's. Since
his condemnation it is satisfactory to be enabled to
state that his behaviour was very proper, and be-
coming his awful situation. He received every at-
tention from the Rev. Chaplain, and, by the penitence
he evinced, strewed that he had made a due use of
those consolations which religion held out to him.—
On Saturday, after receiving the Holy Sacrament,
he was conducted to the scaffold about twelve o'clock,
and having briefly exhorted the people to take warn-
ing by his disgraceful fate, was launched into eter-
nity, in the presence of an immense concourse of
Spectators. %Ve would fain hope that his warning
may take effect upon his guilty companions, but that
he afforded in his own person a melancholy proof of
the insufficiency of these dreadful examples of the
law to deter the hardened offender from the repeated
commission of crimes denounced as capital by our
existing code. The subject of this notice was from
the neighbourhood of St. George's, where, we fear,
there are many more of equal depravity. About seven
years ago be was sentenced to be transported for
stealing two donkeys from Bradbury, Wilts, and
having served five years and three months on board
the hulks, the remainder of his term was remitted,
and be was discharged in January, IW2O. He imme-
diately returned to his old companion% and was in
close connexion with a most notorious set of horse-
stealers and housebteakers, of whose proceedings he
has given an accurate account. Since the period of
his discharge it appears that he has been actually a
party in stealing no less than thirty-five horses from
various parts of the country, which were dispined of
at Smithfield, Brighton, Bristol, and other places;
and he was one of the persons concerned in the rob.-
bery of Mr. Godfrey's'house, at 13ittOn, a few months
ago.. Some of the property has been recovered in
consequence of his kOnfession, and.we would give a
more minute detail of his nefarious transactions, but
that we might thereby defeat the.ends of iustice,
with regard to. his equally guilty coritirailltibli

when witness lett him in the evening. .
The Conousta said it, was a most dangerous ailing
to throw boards down in that manner. It Arts a most
shameful affair. Had it been the master, he should
have made many more observations to the Jury; but
a boy, merely of the age of fourteen, it was a veer
'wrong thing for him to be set to el.) it. Had it been
a deaf man, they might have called out foi. ever.
Poor people, he said, were subject to such injuries by
d:e carelessness of their masters. There was a great
inattention in this case, by setting a boy to throve?
die boards down that endangeredC the lives of twenty
oc thirty people, instead of bringing them down care-
fully. Had the master himself done it,-it would liave
amounted to manslaughter. It ought to have been
done by a discreet man ; but the master, he said,
might be indicted for a nuisance.
The Jury expressed themselves very strongly upon
the subject, and observed, that such practices ought
to-be put a stop to. They were well aware that if a
Man had been set to do it the accident would not have
happened, and it was a great wonder the board did
Clot bring the boy down with it.—After a s.:ort con-
sultation, they returned a verdict—Acri,lci:_:l I Death"
Friday evening, an Invisition was tal;•.!ii at the
'Turf Tap, Grosvenor-place, on the body cl James
'Linton, a child five years of age, who came to his
death in the following manner:—The deceased lived
with his father, James. Linton, a tailor, residing at
N 0.13, Old Boswell-court, St. Clement's Danes ; and,
with two of his brothetsolept in the same room, but
in a separate bed. On Tuesday, the 13th instant,
awaking about sit o'clock in the morning, and seeing
his elder brother asleep, he took the candle, which
was burning, and went into an adjoining room to light
the .fire, having nothing on but his bed-gown, which
by some accident or other took fire. His father was
awoke by.the screams of the child, whom he fotinii
by his bed-side, enveloped in flames; he immediately
wrapped the bed-clothes around him, and.succeeded
In extinguishing the flames. Oil was directly ap-
plied to the parts injured, and on the 22d instant the
deceased- was taken to St. George's Uospital, where
he lingered until Wednesday last. The Jury returned
a verdict of Accidentally burned."
is most extraordinary that oil shouli' have been ap-
p!ied to tee poor child, instead or cold water. Olt, -instead of
curing a burn or scald, only aggravates either the* one or the
other. Cold Water is the only remedy in these distressing cases;
and it also instantaneously relieves the sting of a bee or wasp.
Another Inquest has .been field, on the body of
Thomas Parry, a hcpf ten years of age. The de-
ceased resided with his mother, at No. 38, Homer-
street, New-road. He left home at about two o'clock
on the 13th instant, to.go to school. yards
from the house was a quantity of timber. Several
boys were endeavouring to lift the-tippet most plank,
when, at the .nidnient the deceased passing, it
fell on his left foot and crushed. four of his toes. He
was taken to the-nearest surgeon,-where his-little toe
was amputated, after which he was conveyed home.
HiS thothr, ipafessir days, finding him worse, pro-
cured him admission into. Sr. George's Hospital, where
he was attended by Dr. HAWKINS, until Thursday
last, wheii he died. It being the opinion of Dr. HAN
KINS that the cause of his death was an affection of
the liver, produced by the accident he had met with,
the Jury found a verdict of " Accidental Dea:l4
caused by the falling of a piece of timber on his foot:
Monday evening, an Inquest was held at the Six
Bells, King's-road, Chelsea, on view of the body of a
male child, which appeared to belong to Elisabeth
Fuilegar, a young woman residing in Chelsea. Dr.
Tnostesox stated that the child was in such a pntri-
tied situation from lying in a privy, that he could not
exactly say in what manner it came to its death, but
he was of ()pillion the child was still-born. Under
these circumstances the Jury found their verdict that
the infant was still-born, but found the mother guilty
of concealment.—She was committed for trial.
