• OLD BAIkEY SESSIONS. '

.
Yes, _Ay Edward APlVilliams was indicted for
breakittKand entering the house of Mr. Skelton, of
Upper-lcang-street, Bloothsbury, and stealing thence
various arti - of plate and jewellery, to the amount
of more than stir I.
On the r.ight of the loth of September last, Mr.'
Skelton, who is a jeweller, locked and fastened' his
shop in the usual manner, and retired to rest. Neat
morning, when he returned so the shop, he fount!
that the doef had been opened; and that a robbery
to the extent stated in the indictment had been corn-
mitted: iris immediately gave notice of the robbery
at Bow-tweet, and a search for the robber was insti-
tuted. In the October following Mr. Skelton, in con-
sequence of information that had been received, pro-
ceeded with an officer in the direction of Draper's-
place, Burton Crescent, *here the prisoner and his
wife lodged. They met the prisoner and his wife
near St. Parser= ebareh, and theofficeX immediately
intimated to them that he wanted their presence at
home, as he intended.to search their lodgings. One
of the prisoners said that they did not live at Draper's-
place, but at Maryda-bonne. The officer, however,
took theta into custody, and went to Draper's-place.
When they came there the prisoner's wife said she
had never been there before. Hill, the officer, went
and knocked at the door of No. 27, and the woman
who opened the door at once said that the prisoner
and his wife lodged there. On examining the pre-
mises the officer found '2l pencils,which corresponded
to part of those which had been stolen from the shop
Of Mr. Skelton. The pencils fitted for silver cases.
In the ears of the prisoner's wife were found a pair
of ear-ring's which corresponded in pattern with some
which had been taken from the prosecutor. The officer
also found a parcel-of duplicates, one of which re-
lated to a ring, and was dated the 21st of September.
This, with the other s, he detained. There was a 14611
boy, -of which he could not find the keys for some
time, but having at last got them in the bed in the
back room, he opened the box, but it did not contain
anything. In the closet by the fir4in the front room,
he found a small crow-bar,which been used and
broken. In a box in the back room.he found gold
drops of a pair of ear-rings. The woman stated in
presence of the prisoner, and before the Magistrate,
that the ear-rings had been bought by her brother a
considerable time before. In a closet at the top of
the two pair of stairs, the officer found a bag con?
taining 24. skeleton keys, four Brarnah's patent keys,
and one key of a French lock. There wete five small
skeleton keys in a little bag under the other, and they
seemed to have been used much more frequently than
the others. In other places a phosphorus box and
dark-lantern were found. •

estetda.

Jaseph lewingten, foreman to a manuFacturing
jeweller, had a punch with him both for the top and
drop of the ear-rings. The punch was invented by
hinlself about six months ago.
Cross-examined.—lt *as not twelve or eighteen
months since he invented the pattern of the punch.
He has sold a few dozens of the pattern to different
dealers in his line.

John C. Crouch, a pawnbroker's servant, examined
the duplicate of the ring. It had been pledged by a
woman whom he did not know, and whom he would
not know were he to see her. The ring was a chased
one, and pawned on the 21st of September.
Mr. Skelton examined the ring, but could not swear
to it as being part of his property.
The prisoner declined making any defence, but
some witnesses were called as to his character.

The prisoner had worked ten or twelve months
with William Bailey, and on the evening in question
he was in company with the prisoner, who was so
much intoxicated that he could not walk out of the
bar. He had, as the witness said, ,g got his whack."
Cross-examined.—The prisoner was no relation of
his. Did not know where the prisoner lodged. Pri-
soner worked at his warehouse.

By the REcoapett,—Has been in the habit of at-
tending the White Horse for four years. Remembers
the day in question, because the prisoner had been
so intoxicated, and also because the prisoner's own
bedstead had been seized, and he wished to hare wit-
ness's permission to make another. Knows from the
Newspapers the prisoner was committed on the 12th.
The RECORDER put witness in mind that the rob-
bery in question was committed on the 10th.
Witness saw the book yesterday. Knew that the
night he alluded to was the 10th, because he was
sure of it.

Joseph Atwood belongs to the club, and is master
of it. The prisoner acted as secretary. The prisoner,
on the third Tuesday of September, was so intoxi-
cated that -he could not act as secretary. Prisoner
acted only once in that capacity, and that was on the
24th of September. Prisoner was drunk on the 3d
and 10th, and on the 17th he was not there. The
pi ironer was very drunk on the night in question at
ten o'clock, when he went home. _

Goss-examined.—The writing on the 24th was his.
The words " J. Hopkins" were not the writing of the
prisoner. The words "in hand" were the prisoner's
writing. The prisoner paid on the night in question..
It was on the 10th that the prisoner paid: he paid 2s.
It. T. Scarrett has known the prisoner. Has em-
ployed him. Witness is a professor of music. Did
not hear that the prisoner was confined on a charge'
of felony four years ago; but cannot say that he was
not. Understood that the prisoner moved from;
Mary-k-bonne in September.
An-tither witness was in the club-room onthe night
of thelOth. The witness was not a member of din
club, but had settled the book for the prisoner on the
10th of September. He had settled the book before.
Cross•examined.—Settled the book on Tuesday be-
fore' •as the prisoner then absent,

Charlotte Leslie had lived withihe prisoner, but
she is not -his wife. On the night in question, she
(Ached him home from the White Horse. Went
LI the morning, some time between seven and eight.
Cross-examined....-Often goes to the club. Bailey
came out when she was standing, •and spoke to her.
Sometimes goes by the name of the prisoner's Wife.
She has lived ten years with him. He was taken up
three years ago,. bat was discharged. Witness was
also taken up on the same evening.
By the Counr.—She told the officers that she did
not live, in Draper's-buildings. She had had the keys
and crow-bar for two months ; they had belonged to
her brother, andashe fetched them from. under a
hedge in a field at'Paddington. Mile knew that they
were not right• things, but she 'carried them from
lodging to lodging, not wishing them to be seen.
She had tried the Otosphqius Pori, aod fonnet q4ite
unfit for the kindling of fire—[The Clerk ofthe Covet
here put one of the matches into the bottle,- and it'
was ignited irrimediately.j—Witness, on the nigh; in
question, helped the prisoner home. He was very
much intoxicated.

The REcouDEn summed up ; and the Jury returned
a verdict of Guilty of stealing-in k dwelling-house to
the value of more than 40s.
The RECORDER admonished the prisoner, and or-
dered
the woman, who was almost fainting, to be
committed.

Nicodelnus Dunn, Charles Dunn, Joseph Drubs,.
Michael Leary, and George Moss, all lads under size;
teen years of age, were tried and convicted upon a
charge of stealing four geese, the property of Alex-
ander Fletcher, of Homerton.
Wm. Dodge was indicted for stealing eight trusses
of hay, the property of John Amer.
The presecutor is a farmer at Hanwell ; he had 2f
trusses of hay in his cart-house, out of which the eight
trusses were stolen ; soon after the prisoner was found
trespassing in a field near the prosecutor's, and being
taken into custody, he was fined ten shillings for the
trespass ; his house was searched, and the tresses of
hay found in it.

The prisoner produced a woman, who swore that
she employed him to fetch a bed and some other arti-
cles, which she expected to be left for her at the Fea-
thers, on the Uxbridge-road, by the Birmingham
waggon, but as they were not left they were return-
ing, when a man with some hay-carts asked him to
buy the hay, which he did, at two shilling a truss.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty; and the RE-
CORDER sentenced him to be publicly whipped for
200 yards, near Hanwell, and kept to hard labour
for one year in the house of Correction.
John Lamb was indicted for stealing £290, the pro.
perty of Messrs. Leighton and Co. Manchester ware-
housemen.—The money was stolen by the prisoner
from the iron chest of the prosecutors, who were his
employers, aad he absconded with it.
The Jury were so satisfied .f his guilt that they did
not allow the RECORDER to sum up; and he was im-
mediately sentenced to seven years transportation.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
Yesterday, David King, a Gentleman who described
himself as belonging to his Majesty's naval service,
was indicted for assaulting a constable of the name
of Cousins. According to the evidence on the part 'of
the prosecution, it appeared that the defendant was
at the Adam and Eve public-house, in Tottenham-.
court-road, and • having pulled the tap-room bell
down, made suck a riot in the house, that the prose.
tutor, Qousins, was compelled to interfere. As soon
as he entered the room, the defendant said he would
thrust his umbrella down the officer's throat, and im-
mediately commenced a violent-assault upon him.—
The defendant was ultimately pat out of the room.
No Counsel were employed for the defence, but
the defendant examined his own witnesses. Two
were called, but their testimony, in the opinion of the
Jury, did not alter the case ; and
,without hesitation
the defendant was found—Guilty.
Whilst the witnesses for the prosecution were under
examination, the defendant conducted himself in an
extremely violent and indecorous manner, and more
than once told the Chairman, in reply to many ad-
monitions, that he would pursue v, hat course he chose
to prove the falsehood of the case made out against
him. At the commencement of the' trial, the defend-
ant placed himself on the bench appropriated for Bar-
risters, and claimed a right toe sit there. He was,
however, removed from this station by the order
of the Court.

As soon as the verdict was proncunced, Mr. King
demanded to be allowed time to file an affidavit in
mitigation of punishment. He would bring forward
a surgeon, who would swear to a severe wound in-
flicted in his (the defendant's) side by the brother of
the prosecutor.
he would allow no proof in
evidence uron which the
