SOUTHWARK SESSIONS.

Yesterday the Southwark Quarter Sessions were held
At the Town-hall: Mr. Ann BIN sat for the Recorder,
will:cis still too much indisposed to attend to business.—
It may not be amiss to state, that the very general re-
port-of the death of the Recorder has been the source
of great annoyance to ,that Gentleman; for, perhaps, his
knocker has never been so frequently assailed as by'
friends anxious to condole with his family upon his la-
mented decease, and to know whether he " went off
easily." Even at the hour of half-past 11 at night, the
kindest inqutties were made, and the waimest joy ex-
pressed at the result of those inquiries. The Magistrates
on the bench were Aldermen J. J. St4ITII and WooD.

Henry Walsh, who, has for a length of time stood
charged with having robbed the Craabrook waggon of
notes, belonging to the Ci aubrook "Link, to the amount
&nearly 4,0001. was put to tl.e bar, and arraigned.
Mr. BOLLARD, who appeared as Counsel for the pro-
secution, stated, that upon an examination of the evi-
dence, the prosecutors found that it-was inefficient to
prove the commission of the robbery completely against
the prisoner. It merely excited, a -strong suspicion
that the prisoner hat Lem is son.e way Or other can-

Yesterday George Dutycld, the proprietor of the Antigalliedari,
Shire. lane, was charged on raspicion of having uttered a forged
note. ft was a curious feature, that the prisonerpasod Ole limy

in Swan-yard, Thames-street, was rubbed by a Fir], near T Angle
Bar, of V. or 7f. Ife went the nest evening to the same neigh-
bourhood, and described the girl whom he suspected to the watch.
man, who apprehended her, and she was fully committed, and
Young was bound over to prosecute. Before the Sessions cam.
eticeti, however, the prisoner implored hint to drop the prosecution,
toning that the girl was perfectly innocent; that her father was a
Clergyman in Scii.ind, and was coming to London to take her
home. I'; proceeding against her, he would prevent the good work,
and only confirm her in her vicious and abandoned CORT4C of life.
This ay cal to Lis feelings, and an offer made by the.pritoriee of
remuneration for his loss, prevailed, and be gave such evidence be-
fore the Grand Jury as imitized them to throw out the bill, and the
girl was discharged. The prisoner, as per agreement, left a boo.
pound note at the house of a hlrs. Pedley in Hill-street, Mack-
friars, a friend of hlr. Young's. Mr. Young took it to the Bank,
where it was pronounced a forgery. Ile then wrote to the priconer,
who appointed an inv.:view. which he failed to keep. To ;able-
Tient applications he received evasive answers; but on Wedoollay
right lie met him in Clement's Inn, and, after a struggle o-onned
him.—Mr. HUMPHREYS contended, that the prisoner heel actedns
agent for another, and there was no proof of any guilty knowlot
In this Mr. limo. agreed, and the prisoner was <l;scit aged.— .
Young seemed very much astonished at this decision, and asked hew
he was to recover the amount of the note?—Mr. Humihnivs told
hint be had better say nothing upon that subject: he must trust to
the honour pf Mr. Dudfield for the payment. •

A SAFE AND EASY DELIvtAV.-41141 la/UM"; was charged With
stealing a quantity of apparel. Who placed at the bar she appeared
extremely ill, and declared her accouchement was close at band.
She was then removed into an adjoining room, when her pangs ap-
pearing to increase, a midwife was sent for ; on which, starting up,
she exclaimed, " Oh ! I will deliver myself," and requested to be
let alone; and this being complied with, she 1111 filled her ptoinise.
by delivering herself of the stolen property, which she had Inge.
niously placed round her hotly. She was then again put to the bar,
and the property being set orn to, and being entirely free from that
weakness incidental to females after an ordinary delivery, she was
remanded.

Wednesday night last, as two respectable females,
one named Punvts, an actress attached to sa minor
theatrical establishment, were proceeding past Somer-
set-house, the carriage of Miss FArisitA we drove out at
a very rapid rate, and knocking down the two females.
the wheels passed over them, Miss Punvts had her
leg broken,. and her friend received a very severe cm-
, tusion on the ancle; they were immediately conveyed
over to the shop of Mr. SrANTON, and after havirig he
bone set, and receiving relies; were conveyed home.
DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE.—It is With feelings ot. great
emotion we announce another deed of aggression,
which-nothing but the into, vention of a kind and merci-
ful PROVIDENCE could have prevented from equalling,
in blood and horror, the murderous catastrophe of :the
wretched Sl?eas. Oo the morning of Friday, the -*6th
instant, the Lady of W. ÜBIIER, Esq. of the Barony of
Lower Ormond, in the county of Tipperary, was awoke
from her peaceful slumber, at three o clock in the morn-
ing, by the shrieks of her eldest child, an infant scarcely
seven years of age, who, in terrified accents comiltined
of suffocation. The agonised- mother, finding the fears
of the little creature tco well grounded, by preset ce of
mind almost incredible in her situation, succeeded in
alarming the rest,of the family, and, with the assistance
of her brother, Mr. J. PRICE, with difficulty etfeced
the es ape of her six younger Whnts, naked and helpless
-r-at the most inclement hour of the morning—in suck a
season as this!!!—The house enveloped iu flames—a
crew of ruffians surrounding the premises—ar.d murder
staring them in the face! The family, redeemed from
death, were ultimately assembled on the lawn, consist-
ing altogether of eleven or twelve individuals, all Pro-
testants; and beheld, in that forlorn and hopeless situa-
tion, the total wreck of their silsole property.
tare, bills, notes, and cash. to a very considerable
amount—.all, all fell a prey to the IL -nes, lighted for
their destruction by the iron-hearted, murderous incen-
diaries! It is not in the power of language to describe
the honor-of the scene. Scarce an article was saved
from the general wreck ; but, thanks to the mercy of
GOD, the wretched family succeeded in saving their
lives, the lives of their children : houseless, naked, shiier-
ing with cold and •terror, they witnessed the 'flames
which were devouring their once happy mansion; -be-
held the total destruction of the property which bad
long contributed to their comfort ; and heard the heart-
rending groans 'ot honks, cows, and other cattle, which
remained a tortured prey to the destruCtive element !
A mare, a most valuable animal, whose celerity had
more than once rescued her owner frOm the sangui-
nary attempts of those firebrand assassins, became a
prey to the flames. The letter announcing the above
melancholy but imperfect particulars' was written by
the road side: the family were.ultimately received and
protected in the hospitable mansion of RAtets
