OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, July 16.
--.01.-.

These Sessions commenced this morning, before the
Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Recorder, Sheriffs, and
City Officers. The Presiding Judges are Mr. Justice
Burrough and Mr. Justice James Parke.
Bridget Delany, aged 28, was indicted for stealing a
gold watch, value 251. and other articles, the property of
Lady Anne Bentinck; and Ann Delany, aged 69, for
receiving the same, well knowing them to have been
stolen. The prisoners are mother and daughter. Lady
Anne Bentinck was examined from the bench. Her
Ladyship stated that the yonnger prisoner was in her
service, and detailed other circumstances connected with
the robbery, but in so low a tone of voice that we could
scarcely hear a word her ladyshipeakl. J. Ballard pro-
duced several articles of valuable jewellery, and a large
quantity of wearing apparel, which he found at the resi-
dence of the elder prisoner in Kendal-street, Mary-la-
bonne, the whole of which Lady Bentinck identified as
her property. The prisoners said nothing in their de
fence. Mr. Justice Burrough was about to sum up,
when the Jury said it was unnacrssary ; they were quite
satisfied ^f the prisoners' guilt, and returned a verdict of
Glary. Lady Benda& -.e.,ornmewled the panzer pri-
soner to luny, on account of the ample confession she
had made of the robbery. The Jury joined in the recom-
mendation, and wished 't also to be extended to the elder
.prisoner. as they did not 41ink she was an old offender.

Wave Sr. Judas Parka

Joseph made:singsikii jamrsi6l;ort were indicted
for steeling twin sheep, value thirty pounds, the pro-
pity of Awry e. The prosecutor deposed that the
;row
sheep weft stolen ne of his fields at Walthamstow,
on tha Tth of July; and other witnesses gave evidence
with a view to trace 'them afterwards to the possession of
the prisenars.--Fliteroft, an accomplice, who is known
among his associates by the name of Lancashire Jack, was
admitted ea evidence. He deposed that he was at White-
chapel market on the 2d of July, and saw the two prisoners
there. Henderson told witness that he had bought
some sheep in the country, and having him a
recontpinse, requested him to go to promised
Lea-bridge with
them. They went into a field near that place, where there
were some sheep. which Henderson said were his. Wit-
ness and Wilson went in and took out twenty sheep,
which they carried to White's-row Spitalfields. Hender-
son had left them previously, but he came again to meet
them before they got to White's-row. They slaughtered
the sheep sad took them to market. Had not the slightest
notion the sheep were stolen. It was at night they took
the sheep out o the paddock, but this did not strike the
witness Le odd. Received a pound for carrying the sheep,
in all got 21.55. and the produce of the skins. The wit-
ness, on re-examination by the judge, said that Wilson re-
ceived a sum of money from Henderson, like himself, for
his labour. Several witnesses were called, who gave
Henderson a good character. One of them, named Hig-
hain..said he believed him to be above the common order
of persons. The jury consulted for a few minutes, and
found Henderson Guilty—Wilson Not Guilty.
NEW COURT.—Before Mr. Sergeant Azasm.
David anvil, alias Cavell, aged 70 years, was found
Guilty of stealing, on the 2d inst. a pail, value 6s. the
property of Messrs. Bennett and Hunt, the contractors
for the works in the St. Katharine Docks. The prisoner,
who had been already twice convicted of a similar offence,
on leaving the dock vehemently protested his innocence,
and declared that he would acquaint one of his Majesty's
brothers, who was on the most intimate terms with him,
of the injustice of the verdict.
Emma Markwell, aged 63, was indicted for stealing,
on the 15th June, a pair of shoes, value 10s. the property
hot John Harnett. The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
It appearing that she was an old offender, and has a son
now sander sentence of transportation, and another in the
Hones of Correction, the Court sentenced her to two years
lila' prisoument in the House of Correction, and hard la-
bour. Nothing but her advanced age had saved her from
being sent out of the country,
Elizabeth Walton, a widow, aged 33, was indicted
for stealing, on the 10th of June, seven books, two silver
tea spoons, a piece of Irish linen, and a quantity of ar-
ticles of wearing apparel, the property of Sophia Lucas.
The prisoner lodged in the house of the prosecutrix, in
Ossulston-street, Somerstown ; and about the day named
in the indictment, she missed a number of articles, which
were found at a neighbouring pavrnbroker's. The pawn-
broker produced a quantity of property, and proved that
the prisoner had pledged them with him as her own pro-
perty. The Jury without hesitation found her Guilty.—
The same prisoner was again indicted, with Elizabeth
Bright, aged twenty, for stealing a silk dress, and some
pieces of fancy print, value 40s. the property of their
employer, Mr. Thomas Simpson, silk mercer, No. 249,
Regent-street. The Jury found both Guilty. Mr. Ser-
geant ARABIN informed Walton, against whom there
is another indictment, that she would be sent out of
the country.

The import duty on wheat is 3s. higher ; the duty is
now 13s. Bd. per qr.—the weekly average is 665. sd.
which makes it likely that the duty will be still higher
next week. The amount of duty paid on wheat yester-
day is estimated at 250,0001.
Money continues to be-extremely abundant every where
but where it can be rendered useful to the industrious
dames of society. Letters from Manchester induce the
belief that a very serious strike is about to take place there
amongst the workmen, the wages of labour being much
below the expenses of subsistence, in consequence of the
want of money. On the contrary, capitalists, and London
bankers, feel much difficulty in gaining a small profit, on
account of the &bandana,.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW.STRERT.

Yesterday Mr.Tbowass, the conitable of St. Pail, Covent.gud,.
complained to Sir Richard Broker a dreadful nuisance created-I":
the nightly opening of a place of entertainment called the 3fia4
Theatre, in Catherine-street, Strand. Mr. Thomas stated tins*,
place was an abominable nuisance, and an encouragement of prosi.
guy of every description, particularly amongst the juvenile prat of
the community.' He went into the theatre at two o'clock es ohd.
nesday morning, and there found upwards of SOO of both lese.,
sanbkd, the great majority consisting of very young persons, loft
of them mere children. Romping and all sorts of indecent recta
were going on, and when the audience broke up there we. ail.'
turbans in the meet for an hour after. Sir Richard Binds sritg
if the place was licensed, and Mr. Thomas said he believed sit,
but at the request of Sir Richard he went to the Lord Masao;
lahs's office, and ascertained positively that the proprietors had is
license or authority from that odes. Mr. Mash told Mr. This*
in addition, that the Lord Chamberlain had received many ere,
plaiots from the inhabitants, and from parents whose children sad
been induced to go to the place, and he heartily wished the au*
crates would exercise their authority to shut up the house ahem*.
Sir Richard said the whole strength of the police should be toned
to put down so abominable a nuisance, and gave Mr. Thomas IL
rections as to the course he sheuld pursue.—Mr. Thomas said`,
would devote all his time and energy to the stammplidouent of 1s
desirable an object.
Yesterday Charim Brown, a young man dressed he a very fashion
able style, was brought before the Magistrate, charged with steaL
lug in the court of the blaster of the Rolls, a new beaver hat sad
pair of gloves, the property of S. Rothery, Esq. of Lincoln's lan.
fields. Several gentlemen have recently lost their hats in the Con
of Chancery and in the Rolls Court, and found oil oars, not won
sixpence each, substituted, and these changes were managed sod*.
terously as to elude the vigilance of Baker, a pollee officer who *.
tends the Court of Chancery. and of Smith, the constable of the
Rolls. At length, however, Baker's suspicion fell upon the prisons,
wham he had observed for some time past loitering about the
courts, and happening to see him enter the Rolls Court on Wel.
nesday evening. he told Smith to watch his narrowly. Smith did
so, and took care first to observe what sort of bat the prisoner led
brought with biro, and saw it was a veryold ono_ Ina few mho*
he saw him leaving the court with a new beaver hat on, and he
immediately stopped him. Mr. Rothery identified the hat sad
gloves as his property, and said he had placed them on one of the
benches only a few moments before the prisoner was detected.--
Mr. Halls—l suppose be has been practising to the " Four come,"
as they say in Ireland—(A laugh). The primacy declined raying
any thing, and was fully committed for triaL
Yesterday Mr. Nash, the barge-builder of Lambeth, anew
pealed by his solicitor, appeared before Sir Richard Binds, to show
came why he should not have a penalty inflicted on him for m
alleged violation of the laws relating to the River Thames. The
complaint was laid by George Heath, better known by the appal.
lades of the Waterman.' Attorney General; and the summeas sat
forth, " That one William Wright, appreadce of James Nash, e
Freeman of the Waterman.' Company, did, on the 15th June last, as
the River Thames, between Vauxhall Bridge and Blackwell Stairs,
unlawfully row and navigate two craft, above ten tons burthen, molt
fast to each other while under weigh, contrary to the Statute."...
Heath observed that his object was to establish a right, rather the
to seek any personal gain. In adopting the present proceeding,*
only motive was to protect his poorer brethren, waterusen and
Ughtermen, who were depending on their labour, and the privilege.
they enjoyed as freemen of the Waterman's Company, for their
bread. Many of them were then out of employ; and if the oil,
which he sought to remedy. was not speedily removed, he mach
feared they would experience great difficulty in obtaining work,
Had he been so disposed, be might have gone voter the Act of
Parliament. which authorised a penalty of 10f. to be Inflicted la
persons guilty of the offeoce described in the summons • bat bevies
no desire to draw messy unnecessarily out of Mr. Nosh's pocket;
he preferred to have the case decided according to the 454 dames(
the bye.laws,wberein the penalty was considerably reduced. He this
proceeded to read the clause, oa which be relied—" That if say
freesias of the said company, (the Waterman's Company) or I*
apprentice, or an apprentice of any widow of such (mom or
ether person, or perms., rowing or navigating any lighter, barge.
liat boat, n
or other craft, between Vauxhall Bridge and Bleekwall
•Stairs, shall, at the VIM time, navigate any other lighter, ate. at-
tached thereto, exceeding the burtben of ten tons, he or they shill
pay for each lighter, rice. any sum notsuceeding 201. and net less
than 10e." dr. Nash said that it was not his wish to avoid the
consequences of the offence, or give unnecessary trouble. As the
Magistrate had expressed it as his opinion that he (Mr. Nash) was
liable to the penalty, be was willing to waive all objections aid
have the matter put as sod to at once; and he was convicted in ewe
penalties of 10s. each, together with costs and exposes. He mid
the money, if. se and left the office.
