SURREr SESSIONS.

On Ttlefday the Court met at ten o'clock, and
proceeded to the ufnal Winer, of fweating High
Conftables, &c. to their prefemment, and fwearing
in the Grand and Petty Jurors.—To the Grand pity
the Right Honourable Chairman made a very im-
preflive Charge, and they wired to find the Bilk
The Court then proceeded to the County bufinef,,
which not being intezetting to the public at large, we
forbear to narrate.

Yenerday the Court was chiefly occupied in hear-
ing and deciding Parifh and other appeals agtinfi
conviaions befole Magidrates, 8:c. of no public in-
terelt whatever.

Several Bills were found for Afrauits, Larceny,
Nuiftnccs, and Petty Offences, which, after being re•
turned to the tegatler, the Foreman ..1 the Grand
Jury informed the Court, that he was direfted by his
brraher Jurors, to report the conduct of one of the
Gentlemen who had been (worn on the Grand Jury
yellerday. Immciliotely after taking the oath, he
went away, and had not fince attended in the Grand
Jury room. One of the Gentlemen of the Jury, on
his way to the Sellions Houfe this morning, by acci•
dent met the Gentleman alluded to, and atked him,
fhould he attend ? to which he replied, it Wes totally
nut of his power, as he had invited forne ce.mpany,
to whom he was to give a devillih good dittr•er. The
Jury, therefore, thought it not only their duty to the
Court, but jutlice to theorfelves, to reptekat this
clicumtlance.

The Chairman, Mr. Serjeant Otost.ovr, eaprelTgcl
the acicnowled,,,mlnts of the Court to the Grand
Jury 1,-4- this communication: he obferved, this it
certainly was a very great hart:lll;p upon the G:ntic-

thcirrduty as Grand Jurymen ; and afftve..l there
that the Court would tak • the meter into t!.cir ft-
lions conlidorAtion, and haft au adelu.tte punitit-
meat upon the defaulter.

LONCEVIV;.—Three Gentlemen have died in
Greenock and that neighbourhood, tw., iht.rn nn
the ill, and the other on the 4th intl. wbufe ages to•
gether, amounted to 240 years.
The excdlent Farce of the Prize, seich was
played a few evenings tince at Drury lane Theatre,
never before went off with f.) much applaute. This
eclat was not merely the refult ct the intrinfc merit
of the piece and it, performers, but was evidently
owing likewife to the very impreLve firi,je l that now
fo exteolively engrolfes public attention, from the
numerous and magnirudinous Prizes Pn the momen-
tous Lottery, which is fn near its important day of
commencement. In truth, the farce led to a gene-
ral converfation, through all parts of the Theatre, el
the immenfe Prizes which Fortune is about to dit.

The following melancholy catallrophe occurred at
Lewes in Sutler, on Thurfday last :—About five in
the evening, as John Berry, formerly a drummer in
the 7th regiment of dragoons, but aftet warsis many
years fervant to the late Lieutenant-Cohme: of
Glyndebourne, was on his return from slit place to
hiN lodging in the town, he miilook hi% rood on Cliff
Hill, and walked over the brink of a elta!k pit, by
which accident he was precipitaj.ed head.kng to the
bottom, a depth of near too feet; and killed upon
the fpot. He was difeovered between five and fix
the next morning, with his limbs dreadfully bruited
and featured, and removed to *neighbouring hour:,
where the Coroner's Jury afrembled, and, 1.0 view
of the body, returned their verdid—Accidental
Death. The dceeafed was of a religious and chari
table difpofition, and having raved money in Service,
and from a bandfome annuity which Colonel HAY
bequeathed him at his death, he left the greatefl past
of it to his poor relations, as appcastd by his will,
which was found in his pocket, on taking off his
clothes.

PnlllCl
day, a watchman in Qiehec-Ilreet, New-roa2, was
charged with a burglary on his beat. Mr. Davis,
who refides amidit fame new buildings that are gr.7ng
on near (bebec-Itteet, hated, that being from !ionic
late on Sunday night, he reque tied a watchman, who
was with the prifoner, to Ihcw him a light to his ha-
bitation; which request was complied with. Having
fatisfied the watchman, he retired to iel/ ; hut ahoot
two o'clock in the morning, he heard fontlkr: in
the hoofe. and foon after a rattling in the china-
clofet. He jumped out of bed, when he }matt' a
voice exclaim, " Htrc is h-11 to pay," which he
was certain was that of the prif flier. He nut rued
him out of the 'inure, and never le., 17,,-eit of taint tot-
til he arrived in his watch-box. 'II; pri:on.:r was
fully committed for tlial. The other vatehm?n un-
derwent an examinativn, but there was no evidence
to involve him in the charge.
