OLD BAILEY.

Saturdiy, John Summers was indicted, on the Co-
roner's Inquest, for the wilful murder of Mary Sum-
mers, his wife, in May last. He pleaded not guilty;
and the evidence of the person who found the body
was taken, as was also that of Mr. White, the house-
surgeon of Mary-la-bonne Infirmary, who was clearly
of opinion that the body, when found, was in that
state that it would be impossible to ascertain the cause
of the death of the person.
_ _

The Learned Judge then addressed tlie•Jnry, and
explained the law of the case. The Jury instantly
acquitted the prisoner.

Yesterday, Hector Monroe, a young man 18 years
of age, was placed at the bar,. and indicted for steal
ing in a dwelling-house two snuff-boxes, the property
of Mr. W. Troy. The facts of the case, after a short
investigation, were distinctly proved against the pri-
soner. He only asked one question of the witnesses,
and then threw himself upon the mercy of the Court.
At first he refused to call any witnesses to his cha-
racter; but upon his stating that an attorney in Court
(Mr. Hawkins, who was sitting at the Barrister's
table) knew him, that Gentleman was called, and
deposed that the prisoner was a young man of very
respectable and affluent connexions; he had known
him from his childhood ; and his conduct, as far as
the witness had an opportunity of observing it, was
that of a gentlemanly young man, and he was much
beloved by those who knew him until this unhappy
occurrence.

The Jury returned a verdict—Guilty of stealing to
the value of 395.

The prisoner's dress was so extremely ragged that
it would scarcely hold together ; he had no shirt ; and.
his whole appearance was abject misery and wretch-
edness. It was evident, however, by his countenance,
that he had seen better days; and, when called upon
to speak fcr himself, his language was not that of
of a person of low breeding.
The following were capitally convicted :
John Wilson, alias Patterson, for burglary in the
dwelling-house of Alexander Broadfoot, and stealing
three silver spoons, &c.
Charles Gilbert, for assaulting William Moore on
the King's highway, and taking from his person a
sovereign and other monies.
John Montgomery, for assaulting Mary Hart on
she King's highway, and taking from her person two
handkerchiefs and 2s, her property.
Ann crotcs, for stcaling £lO iu Bank-notes, the

' property *of Mr. Thomas Rarriaby, in hit dwelli,ig.
houses in the.county of Middlesex.

wish to know, from your Lordships, whether that is a
part of our imperative duty or not?
Mr. Justice HOLROYD—Gentlemen, the questing
which you have put to the Court, has already under.
gone the solemn consideration of the twelve Judges.

claim the. privilege of visiting the jail, on the gresmd
of immemorial custom, yet that they cannot iusiu
upon it as a matter of right.. That decision, Which
was the result of mature deliberation, was annum.
nicated to the Grand Jury who made the first
cation upon the subject.

the sanction of so high an authority, we can depart
