CONSISTORY COURT, DECEMBER 7.

OFILCZ OF THE JUDOS, PROUOTBD BY DL WOLLAS.
TOM 12. DR. CLARK.

On the sitting of the Court this morning, the Rev.l
defendant being in attendance, the articles exhibited
against him by Archdeacon Wollaston were read
by Dr. Apama.—These articles set forth the alleged
contumacy of the defendant towards the Archdeacon,
in refusing him adminion at the groat south door;

as likewise at the chancel door of the Parish Church
of Great Waltham, Essex, over which the promoter
is Archdeacon, and the defendant Vicar, on Tuesday,
the 12th day of June, 1821, whenAthe promoter, by
virtue of his office, attended at the Spring Visitation,
thereby opposing and obstructing him in the execu-
tion of his duty aforesaid. These articles concluded
with the prayer of the promoter, that this Court
would adjudge and punish the defendant as the law
directs ; and further, that the Court would restrain
the defendant from the repetition of such offence in
future ; and that he should be directed t.o pay the
costs of this suit.
Sir CH eisront RR RonlNsos.—Have you any Conn-
,
, sel, Dr. Clarke?
Dr. CLARKK then stood up, and was beginning to
read a written defence in Latin; but when he had
(uttered the inception merely, which was in the form
'of an address to the Court, thus--4, Illustrissime
Christophere Robinson, cum mores moes —" he
was interrupted by the Judge, who begged to call
to his notice the expediency that the line of defence
which the Rev. defendant meant to advance, should
be considered by him, with the assistance of Counsel,
whether his interest was to make an obstinate defence,.
or to adopt the milder course of excuse or apology.
Dr. CLARKL—In other Courts I have been misled
by Professional Gentlemen, and therefore I think I
can myself best explain my motives and feelings to
the Court.
The Jur:loc.—You may rest assured you will not
be misled here.
Dr. CLARKS.—Certainly not; for this is one of the
most learned Courts in the kingdom; and I have only
to say, Sir Christopher, that I meant no disrespeCt to
the Archdeacon.
Dr. SWABEY, as Counsel for the Archdeacon, inti-
mated, that as Dr. Clarke, he understood, was pre-
pared to deliver in an affirmative issue, the Learned
Counsel was authorised to state, that it was earnestly
wished, on the pat t of the Archdeacon, that the judg-
ment of the Court might be as mild as the law would
admit under the circumstances.
CLA RK E.—Sir Christopher, I beg to plead an
affirmative issue, since it is the wish of both parties the
Court should proceed to sentence.
Sir CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON, in passing sentence,
observed, that the Court would attend to the wish of
the promoter, in pronouncing its judgment with as
much mercy as the policy of the law would admit. The
offence charged was undoubtedly one of enormity, in
a Clergyman especially, whose duty it was not only
to assist, but invoke assistance to the authority of the
Archdeacon. The object was. that the Archdeacon
should inspect the Church, for the purpose of seeing
what repairs were wanting, and to remedy any such
neeect,towards preserving the public proper ty,therein.
—The Court would content itself (without inquiring
into the full extent of punishment which the policy of
the law awarded in such cases) with pronouncing,
that the defendant be admonished to refrain from
committing any such contempt in future ; and that he
do farther pay the costs of the present proceeding.

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.
Yesterday, John Chapman, a lad of the age of 17,
was indicted for assaulting Eleanor, the wife of Wil-
liam Wade, on the highway, and stealing a pocket-
book containing fifteen pounds.
The prosecutrix is the wife of a tradesman, living
in Red Lion-street, Spitalfields. Oa the 20th of No-
vember last, as she was on her way home, she saw a
house on fire, which she conceived to be close to her
own dwelling. As.she was making all the haste she
could home, and when she was distant from it only
about fifty yards, she was surrounded by a gang of
pickpockets. One of them laid hold of her pelisse,
and the rest rifled her pockets of the pocket-book and
money. The prisoner was apprehended by an officer
near the spot where the prosecutrix was robbed, not
upon any charge, but merely knowing him to be a
suspicious character. When taken to the watch-
house, Mrs. Wade was sent for, and she picked the
prisoner out from among a number of others, as being
the man who had robbed her. She confessed, how-
ever, that she was at the moment when she was at-
tacked so much alarmed both by the fire and the
robbery, that she could not well distinguish faces.—
At the watch-house she pointed out another man,
who was in custody at the time of the robbery, and
she even mistook one of the constables who had the
man in charge, for one of those who had robbed her.
The defence was an alibi, and it was fully made
out by two girls who were in company with him at
the time, and had been so from seven o'clock in the
evening. The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
William Cordell was indicted for stealing a gelding,
value £7, the property of John Baldwin. It appeared
that the animal had been taken from its pasture at
Chigwell, on the night of the 15th of November,—
The prisoner was stopped in Whitechapel-road by a
at an early hour in the morning, with the
patrol,
horse in his possession. The patrol not being safes-
feed with the answers he received from the prisoner to
questions put to him as to the manner in which he be-
came possessed of the horse, took him into custody.
The father of the prisoner stated, that from the
age of four his son was in the habit of driving about
and running after horses, 'and once received a very
were kick from one of them. Since that time his
Ns had been subject to fits, and the blow had occa-
sioned even temporary derangement. His son worked
with him as a labouter, but occasionally, when his
wandetings came on, he would leave home for a
time. Two days before the horse was taken the pri-
soner went off, saying be would have a holyday.
It appeared that there was a gap in the fence
through which the horse must have passed out of the
field. There was no positive evidence to shew that
the prisoner was the person who had driven the
horse out. The answers of the prisoner to the patrol
were rational and connected, although they gave an
improbable account of the manner in which he be-
came possessed of the animal.
The Jury found a verdict—Guilty. A recom-
mendation to mercy was added on account of the
weak state of the prisoner's intellects.
MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
The greater part of . yesterday morning was occu-
pied in the hearing of parish appeals, and appeals of
convictions under penal statutes, and petty assaults,
of no interest except to those c

HA TTON-G A nom—Yesterday, a parish corikto.4
brought up Prances Moore, a young woman .
teen years of age, charged by Mr. Bentley, of s,vin
ton-street, Gray's-Inn-road, with robbing his hotit.
much valuable property, under the folhiwing
staoces :—Mr. Bentley stated that early hist
he and his family went down to Margate, and I.4t-
the care of his house in Swivon-sztePt to
Waters, a 'person known to hitn and hi, far.lile
many years. She accepted of the charge, upotie.;.
dition that the prisoner Moore should be pertninc4
to live in the house with her until the return of at
Ifamily, which was granted. It appeared, at thee/Im.
mencernent of the inquiry, that soon after Wat,-;
took charge of the house, the system of plunder a7i
robbery commenced, by Frances Moore forciaopti
the wardroties cf the family by means of false kevk,
and sheaving to Waters valuable dresses belongipit,
Mrs. Bentley, as garments left to the prisoner ly:z
deceased rciativc. Mrs. Waters and her ,on Jra
were present to give their evidence against the
soner Moore, and during the examination it was sbe,,,
that the property stolen found its way to the 54\
of the pawnbmkers ; and what first raised the suit;
cion of the Magistrates against the probity of Mr:.
Waters and her son, was the fact of their beingi
persons who always pawned the articles stolen tin;
time to time, and not the prisoner, Frances Moat
It appeared, also, that the property was aliviu
pawned in fictitious names, and that the ainctratre.
ceived from the pawnbrokers got into the pock:
of Mrs. Waters, without rendering any acurrrr to
M< _ore. Mrs. Waters and her son were now or&rl
into custody, and on being charged as rti;:cifii,
