The Sessions at the Old bailey commenczd yes-
tod.,y, , before the Low MAYOR, the RECORDER of
Lvtid n, Mr. Justice Hottosti, Mr. Justice Bun-
vt:oti, and Mr. Baron GRAHAM.
At ten o'clock, John Bond was put to the bar, and
indicted for haein:,,, teloniously stolen in the dwelling-
house of William Howard, one Bank of England
promissory n-te for the ply ment of 420, and another
for the payment of 410, the property of William
Howard, on the night of the Ist December, 1816.
Mr. ARABIN opened the pleadings, and Mr. ALLEY
in stating the case, and alluding to the publicity
which the circumstances of it had already acquired,
took occasion to lament the practice of publishing
es parte evidence, as tending much to the injury of pH-
I soners. Witnesses were then called, of whom the first,
Sarah Randall, deposed, that she had. lived as
nisekeeper with Mr. William Howard, now de-
sA, for 40 years. He was a farmer, residing in
.c parish of Hillingdon, a short distance from L'x-
'lge. In the month of December last the family
ns:sted of Mr. William Howard, witness, Thomas
res, and the prisoner at the bar, who was grand-
,to the deceased. She recollected that, on Sun-
Ly the Ist of December last, she saw the prisoner
about one o'clock, at dinner-time, but did not see
afterwards. In the evening of that day she slew

order that the old man might I.ght his pipe. She
laced the candle on the table between them, but did
know what became of it afterwards. Soon after
ie heard the door of the room open ; it was eithir
ished open or unlatched, and being in expectation
seeing the servant boy, Thomas Ayres, to the best,
her recollection she said, " Is it you, Tom
tress could not be sure whether she did or did not
so. No sooner had she spoken, or meant to
k, than she received a terrible blow upon her
. She received several blows, and lost her senses.
i after she had received the blows, she heard the
gentleman, who had just entered upon the 91st
of his age, utter a deep groan. She heard no

tally. The prisoner regularly went to London
receive them, and on his return paid them to the
man.• The money was always wrapped up
and put into a private drawer in the
reau, the key of which was always kept in the old
a's left-hand breeches pocket.
Cross.examined by Mr. Ben.tauti.-,-Witness had
40 years with Mr. Howard. The prisoner
in the family partly in the capacity of a servant,
the son of her master's daughter. She had
rn him from his birth. Mr. Howard had been
_ good to him, and the prisoner's conduct
rs appeared respectful and attentive. The 1)6-
managed' all the old gentleman's money.ton.
She remembered Mr. Howard saying no one
to tht prisoner, that he had provided for
his will, and left him £'2oo, which was alter-
altered to• £lOO stock. The prisoner was
, and never appeared to want money. The
gentleman offered him his wages on Michaelmas
the prisoner declined receiving them.

witness said, she heard the old gentleman utter
groan, and chat he was never sensible after-

left the house on Sunday evening, December Ist,
• six o'clock. The prisoner had gone out be-
visit a Mr. Wyman, who lived at about a
' yards' distance. Witness went out algae,
every thing in safety. His master and the

that he must have been proceeding to or coming

that he had missed his way, but the stranger
on without any reply. Witness then went to

Cross-examined by 'Mr. BoLLASD.—The straw

pri.oner sat up all night with the old gentleman,
and seemed much concerned and very attentive to

sons suspected of having committed the robbery.
William Mercer confirmed several pans of the last
ihiess's testimi.oay. With regard to the appearance

xamination he stated, that the old people sat in

towards the door, 16 that he must have sees who
entered the room and struck the housekeeper.
John Curtis, a surgeon, deposed, that when he saw
the deceased there were not the slightest hopes of his
recovery. He declared this as soon as he examined
him, in the hearing of the whole company. Some
of the wounds appeared to have been inflicted by a
flail, and others by a window-bar. He was called
in about seven o'cluk in the evening.
Joseph Allen said he was a Churchwarden of the
parish of Hillingdon, and went to search the house
of the deceased on the day in question. The prisoner
asked him to look at the bureau. He examined it
accordingly, it had been broken open, and the pad-
lock and key were found intermixed with the papers
in it. He searched the well, and found nothing in
it ; but there was a secret drawer which he did not
observe, nor had any subsequent opportunity of dis-
covering, till the month of August last, after the bu.
mu had been sold.

Here Mr. Baron GRAHAM, after communicating
with his brother Judges, addressed the Jury, and re-
marked, that the present was a most serious charge
against the prisoner, because a much heavier imputetion than that laid in the indictment, hung ever him;
and he was not pi ivileged to state, how far the esti.
denee went to 6x on him the suspicion of murder.—
Under the circumstances of the case, they had no
right to send the prisoner away from the bar with
any such imputation hanging over him. It was, in-
deed, impossible to convict him of the larceny, with-
out making an impression on the minds of every body
that he must have been concerned in the murder of
his near relation and benefactor. It was impossible
for the Jury to say that le was guilty of the murder,
because there was no evidence that could prove any
such thing ; and that being the case, the Jury must
be convinced that the prisoner had possessed himself
of the rroperty he was chirgeJ with stealing, in the
life time of Mr. Howard. There was no intervening
time between vie outrage offered *to Mr. Howard
and his death, in which the money could have been
stolen, except on the night of the lit December,
and there was no evidence to shew he took the money
on that night. The evidence only proved, that every
part of the bureau, except the secret drawer, had been
broken; but this private drawer was not opened at
the time. It was possible then that the property might
have remtined there for some time ; and before the
Jury could- convict the prisoner of the theft, they
must be satisfied that every part of the bureau had
been completely es..mined. Now it the prisoner was
innocent, it was unfortunate foe-him that a thorough
search had not taken plasm It did not appear, theta-
fore, that the money had been in the possession of
the prisoner before the desk was broke open ; and it
was possible he might afterwards have taken it out of
the secret drawer, and kept the property concealed
from the residuary legatees. The evidence being
therefore defective, it would be unnecessary to take
up the time of the Jury any longer in proceeding in
the cue, which was not one that ought to go to a
Jury. He owed it to iustice to say. that there was
no evidence which could affect the prisoner.
The Jury then, under his Lordship's direction,
found the prisoner—Not Guilty.
The prisoner appeared to be *tout 40; tall, and
very stout, with A dark complexion, but of an open
rustic touutenance; he was dressed in a smock-frock,
with a rough great coat over it. His manner was
perfectly composed, per was there any change of
look or gesture when be heard his acquittal. He took
up his bat, and walked away from the bar with the
Air of a man who is about his usual business.

Jana Tlsonquoa, a bay of 14 years of age, wjs
convicted of stealing 71bs. of cheese, the property of
WilliamWright.—The wife of the prosecutor recom-
mended him toihe'mercy of the Court, saying that the
boy had neither lather bur mother, and'had stolen the
cheeseirom actual want, being in estate of starvation.
Richard /Gash was next indicted ter having stolen.
several Bank of England notes of the value 01 £4O
and upwards, besides two watches, and a ring of the
value of £l5, the property of William Jones, in the
dwelling-house of James Green.
The principal witness was a little girl, daughter of
Mr. Jones, with whom the prisoner lived as servant,
who deposed, that ene evening when her father and
mother had gone to the Opera, and she had retired
to bed, the prisoner entered her room and threatened
to kill her if she did not tell him where her mamma
kept her money. He had a chisel and a hammer in
his hand, mud the beard him break open her father's
bureau, and an ether belonging to the landlord in a
separate apartment. He absconded the same evening.
The primes received a very good character from
respectable persons, but was found—Guilty.

Janet Donohoe, charged with burglariously entering
the dwelling-house of James Bloe; and stealing two
geese, was convicted of the stealing, but not during
the night.
Edward Pluniett was convicted of stealing twenty.

the prisoner who had been in the employ of the pro.
mentor, an ironmonger, in Barbican, as a porter, on
being apprehended confessed that be had been at it

had taken him into his service merely out of charity.

JAN Teed was convicted of stealing Ilbe 7os. of
black tea, value Si. 6d. the portray of the East India
Company.
The witnesses proved that the prisoner had been in
the employ of the Company for nearly twenty years,
and that on the 28d of lily last. he was discovered
with The tea in his possession. One of the elders said
to bins “ I have a suspicion tbat you have some tea
in your posseuion." is Have you,' said the prisoner,
" if that is the case, I may as well give it to you at
mace, as it will save trouble."
William Hill was also convicted of stealing 21b. of
peen teal value sa. the property of the East India
Company. The circumstances of the case were nearly
the same as those proved is the preceding trial.

Saturday night, or early on Sunday morning, the
house of Mr. James Bassett, Shepherd-street, Christ-

Nutt, one of the Oak* ()Meets belOngifig to
Hatton-garden Office, was indicted for assaolting
Dunnett and Sarah Dunnett his wife. There were
tfto indictments against the defendant. ft appeared
from the testimony of the Dunned*, that they had
lodging in their house a son of the female (the pro-
secutris) by a former husband. Some difference
arose between them and the young man, whose name
was Bennett, about removing his furniture, which
for some reason they prevented him from doing. He
called in the assistance of the defendant, who, with-
out any warrant or authority, aized hold of the pro-
secutor, under pretence of being a deserter from the
navy; but it did not appear that he followed tip the
charge. This constituted the assault upon the male;
that agairst the female defendant, was in struggle
to open the door, which she had closed, in fader to
remove the furniture.

Three witnesses were called on thd part cf the de-
fendant, to contradict the testimony of the prosecu-
tors as to the assault, and tht Jury believing them,
acquitted the defendant.

T. Spearing was indicted for assaulting Ja Smith,
one of the Headboroughs of Whitech..pel. On the
27th of May an immense number of people were as-
sembled, drinking and enjoying themselves at the
Red Lion, near the London Hospital, in the White-
cnapel Road. The Officer stated, that between two
and SOU persons of the lower orders were in the rooms.
This was during the fair at Stepney. They became
noisy and riotous, and the Officers had been called
to disperse them. On seeing them enter, a min
named R. Brown tied an apron to a stick as a sort of
flag, bidding the Officers defiance, and using very
vulgar and blasphemous language. In the strughle
to arrest the ringleaders, the defendant was very
Active in assaulting the officers, and was takes into
custody ; he however escaped, but was ultimately
secured and lodged in the watch house.
The Defendant put in a long written defence, which
stated, that he had gone into the Red Licn with his
wife, who was far advanced in her pregnancy, to re-
fresh themselves; that without any provocation on
his part, lie was taken into custody and dragged to
the watch-house, and severely beaten en the road.
He called two witnesses to prove these facts, and
further, that his wile had miscarried in consequence
of the fright she received by the imprisonment of her
husband. They admitted that he had attempted to'
make his escape, because his wife was so dangerously',
ill with the fright. The Jury pronounced the De-
fendant—Not Guilty.
G. leash, sea. and O. Nark, jun. and Mary Nash,
the wife at the former, were indicted for asssultin
Hannah Wilton, on the 11th of March. The prose-
cutrix lodged in the house of the senior defendant,
who unites the trades of patten-maker and barber ire
wire.—Some dispute arose about the rent, a distress
WAS levied in the absence of her husband, and the
senior defendant brandished a stick, and threatened
" to poke out her entrails," and actually forced the
stick near her mouth. There was no proof that the
wife was engaged in thirassault, and she was acquit.

G. Bresy pleaded Guilty to an indictment for ob-
structing the street-keeps of Lincoln's lan.. It was
stated by Mr. Acan.rout, that a nest of pickpockets
were in the daily practice of assembling in ..that
neighbuuthuod, and of numbing the Beadle ; on
this occasion a vast number of boys, among whom
was the defendant, rescued a suspicious character
Iron his grasp, and he escaped. In order to deter
others from assisting in Sad) nefarious proceedings,
this prosecution was commenced, for the defendant
was the son of respectable parents, and it was hoped
by the salutary lesson he would receive, that it would
operate to prevent his associating with characters such
as had been described in future.

'!'he CisaIRMAN, after reading hi►m a severe lecture
on his bad conduct, ordered him to be imprisoned
one month in the House of Correction.

The crowd assembled round the Grand Jury-room
and in the Hall was immense yesterday. Dating the
time that the Sulicitors %erre waiting to be called in
with their witnesses, a gentleman or the prole:stun
was robbed of his gold watch. He immediately
communicated the robbery to the Chairman, who
directed the High Constable to be sent for : on his
appearance with his list of Constables they were call-
ed ovir, and several of those summoned to attend on
duty being absent, the Chairman ordered them to be
fined each 40s. at the same time he observed, that it
WAS a disgrace to the Police that they did not :mend
to their duty. He warned the High Constable to
be circumspect, and to watch the conduct ol his in-
feriors, and to take especial care that all suspicious
characters should be taken into custody. The High
Constable promised to attend to the 'command of
the Court.

Tuesday se'nnight J. Kane was executed in front of
the gaol, Lifford. pursuant to his sentence at the last
Assizes, for robbing the hosse of Martha Sherlin.—
The fate of this unfortunate man, who was nearly 60
years of age, with a family of seven children, is an
awful record of the interposition of DIVINg PROVI•
DZSCS. On the first day of the Assizes he came to
Lifford in the disguise of a beggar (two of his stns
and J. Laun, being then in gaol for the
same robbery). as is supposed, to ascertain their fate.
He was accidentally met in the street by the person
whom he had sobbed, and Immediately taken into
custody. Next day but one he was tried and found
guilty, ite were his sons and son.in.law, and severally
sentenced to be hanged. On the morning of the me.
cution, the Sheriff received a pardon for the youngest
son in confinement, a lad about 15 years of age, and
his son•in•law,. who were discharged. These, with
the remainder of his family, witnessed bis melancholy
and disgraceful end.
