MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

On Friday lhargaret Lowe *as found guilty of
uttering a bad !billing, with intent to defraud
Mr. Daniel Mendoza, of the Lord Nelfon public-
houfe. She was fentenced to be imprifoned one
year.
An eldetly man, of the molt refpeetable and
prepolfeffing appearance, was put to .the bar,
charged on an indiamentof tlealing fome trifling
articles from the premifes of Mr. Harry Phillips,
Auaioneer, in New Bond-ftreet. From the Rate-
ment of Mr. Phillips it appearyd, that having rea-
fon to furpea the prifoner, he watched him, when
he obferved him in the auftion.room put his hands
behind him, as if concealing fomething, he then
walked hattily out of the room. On this, Mr.
Phillips cleared his clerk to follow him and bring'
him back : on being fearched, there were found
in his pockets a pair of China oandlefticks, an
earthen ink.pnt, and another trifling article. Their
were identified to be Mr. Phillips's property. The
prifoner declined laying any thing by way of de-
fence. He Rated that he had been a wholefale ,
linen-draper, for near twenty years. Alter Rating '
thus much, be wasunable to fay any more, and
leaned his head upon his hand. Mr. Phillips in•
formed the Court he had made the fame ftatement
before the Magtftrate.
A Gentleman requefied of the Court the indul•
Bence to be allowed to fay a few words. This
being granted, he Paid that he knew the unfortu-
nate perfon at the bar for upwards of twenty
years, that he had formerly been in Wines for
himfelf as a wholefale linen-draper, but failed
about five years fence, when he went abroad and
remained there for Come time. A (tort time palt
the witnefs received a letter from him, which Rated
that he was unemployed, and bad not the means
of fubfiftence ; the wittier: wrote an aniwer by re-
turn of port, defiring him to come home again, as
lie would be more likely to get employment
among bis friends, and that hit houfe was open to
him and his wife till he got into employ. He came
tti England, and had becd with the witnefs ever
!ince, living in hip houfe. He was alloni(hed
when he heard of the *relent charge, and confi-
dered him as a man of the utmoft integrity, though
unfortunate. _ _ _

Another Gentleman Rated, that after his failure
be was employed in the Ira Hours of Commons
till the Union, wten he 101 l his fituation, and was
not fo fortunate as to receive a recompence for
being deprived of his means of fupport. - The wit=
nets reprefented him to be a perfon of uncommon
good char-atter, and could in no way account for
this fatal tranfaaion.
The Cameos** lamented the unfortunate lima-
ion in which this perfon Rood, but Lid the Jury
en* do no leis than find him guilty.
The Jury then pronounced him— Guiby.
Mr. Phillips then, in the moll humane manner,
btgged that his recommendation might go with
the jury, in order to induce the Court to thew fa-
sour to him.
Tht Court then requelled the Gentlemen who
had come forward in his behalf, would be fn good
to take the unfortunate perfon home with them.
PI, bowed in the molt refpeafnl )manner to the
Court, and withdrew with his friends.
