SURREY SESSIONS.

Taw,rs iiiid hi. news, father and son, were in
d'ettd for teh ei taely -
breaking and entering the pre.
iii
miles of A. Utley, Esq. of Thames Ditt.in, on the
night of the 271 h, or the morning of the 28th of De-
cember last, and stealing four geese and two hens,
his property. lt was proved that the fowls and geese
were lockel !I:3, as usual, in the fowl.house, on the
evening of the 27th ; and that, on the morning of
the 28th, the door of the hen-house was forted open;
the fl ,or was covered with blood and feathers, and
two hens and lour geese were missing. On the morn-
ing of the 286, the prisoners wrre met on the mad
by 'DR) dd, the Constable ; they were carrying a
basket covered with a sack ; the Officer enquired
what the basket contained, and was told bones which
they had picked up ; this not satisfying him, he de-
sired to have the basket uncovered, which, after some '
resistance, the prisoners consented to, and it WAS then i
discovered. that instead of bones, the basket contain.
ed a quantity of fowls and geese, amongst which
were Mr. Wiley's, all dead, but still warm. The
prisoner said, he bought them of a waggoner, tut

MA VISION HOME tiTIR LSE ED SEAM It —Yester-
day the Portuguese Consul applied to the Lotto
M.tyna upon the subject of the distressed Portuguese
seamen, many of whom ate in the state described in
the report of the same day. The Consul expressed
his regret that the representatiou was not exaggera-
ted, and stated that the difficulties in the way of re-
medying the calamity were at present insurmoun-
table. In consequence of this circumstance he was
obliged to entreat his Lordship to order the admis-
sion of a number of those seamen into the Compter,
or any other rlace where they would be defended
from the severity of the season : and stated, that he
would grant an allowance of 7s. per week for their
maintenance, until arrangements were concluded for
sending thins to their native country.
• .The Lotto Wm* said, that a period had been put
to his authority in everrease of this description.—
The Adtniralty had Monopolised the power of doing
good upon the subject, but the incliaation was not
In manifest in the exercise of that authority which
they were so unwilling to delegate. His Lordship
had already ordered the admissum of abbot a dozen
wretched seamen into the Cumpter, which was so
much crowslJJ as to render the addition of an indi-
vislual almost insupportable ; of course the request
of the Consul must, however painful the refustl
would Le, meet with a disappointment.
In the course of the day the LORD MAYOR took the
opportunity to state, that a plan bail been suggested,
by Mr. Martin, of Westminster, which promised con-
siderable advantage to several of the seamen, to
whom ply and prize.money are due—namely, the
appointment of a Register Office, at which the abovc
mentioned creditors ale to give a description set their
churns, loud where they are to be assisted with all
the facilities of bbtaining sattsfactory answers to their
applications.

Hiy Lordship sat till a late hour, anJ held an ex-
amination of a great number of ward constables,
previously to their being sworn in.
BIW-STItiET —.SHEEP STICALINU.a.—YeStettLy Wil-
liam Price, and a woman whom♦ he call", his wile, sere
'committed for trial at the ensuing Assizes to' Keiii,
charged with sheep stealing. They were apprthei.-
Jed by JArneS Carter. the parole, stationed at Black-
Meath and its neighbourhood. The man carried a
sack. in which WAS the carcase of A sheep. still war in;
the woman coded a bundle which contained a heart,
a liver, Etc. The sheep was stolen from Mi. Within,
Kedbrook, near Blackheath.

JoAss I?.yaa was committed for turtherexamination,
on suspicion of having committed several tootpad
,robberies in the neighbourhood of Southgate.
MMILBOMOL4III-3THILIE.--Yebterd4y a coal mer-
chant, at Paddington, exhibited a charge against a
female servant, for havir.g twice maliciously iiiii.mp-
ted to set tire to Iris dwelling house. The prisoner
asserted her innocence- The prosecutor having often
discovered symptoms of insanity in the prisoner, de-
sired to forego a prosecution, and she IVIIS discharged.

Yesterday, at the Old Bailey, no less than six per-
sons were raboed of their packet-books, pocket-
handkerchiefs, Ilcc. while endeavouring to obtain in-
gress or egress at that Court. The avenues were
crowded beyond aU former example.
DESPUIATI COACHEn&—Thursday night, the 2d
instant, a numerous gang of poaciers trade their ap-
pearance at Btoxlow, Notts, where they took man,
who was sometimes employed as an under-keeper for
ache Right Hun. Lord Mtout.rrot4, into close cus-
tody, in order to prevent his giving any alarn• ; they
Oen proceeded so the house occupied by Mr. C9oKno
one of his Lordship's keepers, at Shorts/aux', which a
part of them surrounded, while another part went in
pursuit of game. The under-keeper whom they had
with them was compelled to lie down
.on- the ground
and a man armed with a pistol sat upon him. Mr.
Cooxe's dog, however, having given an alarm, lie
was instantly shot. Mr. Cools was awakened by the
report, and fired out of the window. The fire was
returned on both sides several times, and an attempt
was made to get into the house, but without suc-
cess. The noise of the firing, however, soon brought
the Watch and Ward to his assistance, together
with some other persons, when the poachers, de-
catnped, and attempted to make their escape ; but
one of them was soon discovered and smiled ; and
three snore have sire:e been taken into cobludy,
an LOW in NOttiii&lilM Conuty gaol.
