- OLD BAILEY SESSIONS:

Yesterday, Thomas Cotterell was indicted for steal-
ing seventy yards of black silk, the property of Tho-
mas R. Stanbridge, in his dwelling"-house, in St. Leo-
nard's, Shoreditch.

The isiisoner was a workman in the employment of
Mr. Stanbridge, an eminent silk-dresser, who had re-
ceived the silk in question on the 7th of March last,
from Messrs. Lumm, for the purpose of its being
dressed. When it was sent for by Messrs. Lumm, it
was not to be found, and the prisoner, who had then
quitted the prosecutor's service, being suspected, he
was taken into custody. A pawnbroker's duplicate
found on his person led to the discovery of the silk.
The prisoner's guilt was clearly proved ; but he re-
ceived a most excellent character from a number of
respectable witnesses; in consequence of which, and
of his having a large family, he was earnestly re-
commended to mercy, both by the Jury and the pro-
secutor, which recommendation Mr. Justice BEST
said should be most particularly attended to.

Mary Agues Louisa Butler, a ladylike looking
young woman,23 years old, of interesting appearance,
was placed at the bar, charged with having stolen
£35, in £5 notes, in the dwelling-house of Robert
Cotterell, No. 28, Surrey-street, Strand, the property
of William Drew. The prisoner being in an advanced
state of pregnancy, the Court permitted .her to be ac-
commodated with a chair.

Mrs. Eliza Cotterell, having been sworn, stated,
that she live2cl at No. 28, Surrey-street, Strand, and
kept a boarding-house. The prisoner came to board
and lodge with her in August last. She had known
her for a few days, about three or four months be-
fore. She stated to witness that she had been in
France, and was about to return there in a week or
fortnight. She said she had been married, and called
herself Mrs. Butler. Witness received her as a
lodger. The dining-room was in common to all her
lodgers. Captain Drew, of the Edward East India-
man, boarded and lodged with her at the time. He
had a writing-desk, which was usually placed on a
' small table that stood in a window in the dining-
room. On Saturday, the 11th of August, Captain
Drew went out, and did not return that evening.—
Witness went up to bed a little after twelve o'clock,
leaving Mrs. Butler in the dining-room alone. Wit-
ness's daughter had gone to bed an hour before.—
After witness had been half an hour up stairs, she
had occasion to go to her daughter's room, and saw
the prisoner coining up stairs. She slept in the room
next to witness's, five pair of stairs up. On seeing
witness, sbe made a noise, and seemed agitated. She
' caught hold of the baniter. Witness asked what
was the matter ? to which she replied that she was
tired. On the following day (Sunday), at two o'clock,
witness saw the desk in the usual place, but the lock
was open. She put it into her own closet. The pri-
soner had been down and out at this time. Captain
Drew returned at about one o'clock, but went out
again, and did not return until Monday morning,
when she saw him at breakfast, and then took him
his•desk. In consequence of missing some money
from it, a Bow-street officer was sent for. The officer
searched all the servants. The prisoner was in bed.
Witness went up to her room, and after a few mi-
uutes' delay was admitted. When she was dressed;
