WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, DEC. 9,

Milian: Sherlock was brought up from Tothffl-
fields Bridevrell, to plead to an indictment preferred j
against him by a young person of the name of Eli-
zabeth Merrill, for a violent assault on her os the '
7th of January, The-prisoner was taken to the watch- j
house at the time, where he procured a bed, but the
next morning the constable, on going up to his bed-1
room, found him in such a complete state of inebriety
that he was unable to rouse him.
The CHAIJOIAN,.on hearing this story, inquired
how he procured the liquor to make him in that state?
The Constable said, he had a bottle of gin in his
pocket at the time he was brought to the watch-
house, and which he had taken up to bed with him.
The officers not having the power to search a pooson
charged with a common assault, were not aware that
he was possessed of the liquor till the next morning,
when they found the empty bottle. On coming to
himself in the evening, he was taken to Bow-street
Office* where Mr. thaws recognized him as having
been before him on a former occasion; he, in conse-
quence, behaved in the most outrageous manner.
The prisoner, in his defence said, he was at the
time labouring tender the effects of liquor ; that he
had been all his life-time in the army, and with re-
fpect to the charge made against him, before Mr.
ataxia, of having stolen a silver spoon from Slaug'h-
ter's Coffee-house, " that was a mere bagatelle." Tie
however called no person to speak as to his charac-
ter,
and the Jury found him Guilty.
Ryan and —'../adits, two well known charac-
ters, both of whom have been convicted of thieving
before, were brought up from the same prison, and
, charged with being incorrigible rogues and repu-
ted thieves. _ _ _

Jefferson, the Bow-street officer, and a Mr. Jones,
watched the prisoners in the middle of the day at-
tempting to rifle the pockets of several Gentlemen in
the Haymarket. They at last fastened on a country
farmer crossing the road, when a person called out,
" You'll be catched;" they immediately turned round,'
anal seeing the officer, attempted to escape, but were
unable. 'James called his father'to speak in his be-
half, who acknowledged that he had not been in
work for a month, though he was frequently ac his
father's house.

'The CHAIRMAN, after lamenting that two such'
young men should thus conduct themselves, %aid,
" It is really dreadful to think on it, and I very mueh
fear nothing will stop you till you come to the sal-
lows ; I shall however see what six months imprison-
ment will do, and shall therefore commit you to the
House of Correction for that period."

The domestic trancoollity of a family of consider-
able rank, residing us the vicinityManshester-
s4nare, a fl.vt days- since expenenced a Ihok of no
ordinal"' nature, by attempt of one of its members
to put an end to her existence. Fortunately life was
not quite extinct when she was discovered, and timely
medical tild.opeceeded in restoring animation. The
distress occasioned ify this event has *.lso since been
augmented by the Sudden i‘sappearanceff the only

wife of a farmer at Soiry .suckled two .infaMi, of 9ne
, of which she was the parent, the other given her to
nurse. They were put to sleep in the same bed. In
the coarse of last month., the child at nurse was
found dead in its bed, with the fiee eaten away on
cope side. The attention Cl the fanfty had been ciljed
by the crying of the other. When the child tfai

Oa Christmas-day, a man named Keay, undertook

Thursday afternoon, a woman of respectable ap-
pearance, named Sarah Evans, was knocked down in
she Borough by a brewer's dray, run over, and killed
on the spot. She was conveyed to St. Thomas's-
Hospital, but life was entirely tied.
Monday evening, as Mr. Brain, of Woolwich dock-
yard, was in the act of tasting some soup fee the
poor inhalzitants of that town, he was seized with a
giddiness in his bead, and fell down ; when, not-
withstanding medical assistance was on the spot, and
instantly arorded, he immediately expired. He was
previously in perfect health, and has left a widow
pndrfamily unprovided for.
A few days since T. Stead, of Horaford, near Shef-
field, was found dead in the wheel-race, belonging
to Mr. Kitchen, of the former place. It is supposed
he was making an attempt to break into the mill.—
He, however, completely verified the eld proverb,
" M fast as a thief in a mill !"

Robert Grape, who was a pauper 'in the how* but
being a man oftood education, had for several years
n• employed as his clerk, to the banking-house of
;Inborn, and Co. in the Borough, to obtain payment
for a check of 501. he received the money and ab
sconded, and has not since been heard of.
Thursday night, between.ten and eleven 9'454;
as Mr. C. Herrin% -oP-Bell-tOlirt, 'Cr...Word-meet.
Mary-la-bonne, was passing along the Xese-road,
was suddenly seized by the collar, by two men, who
in a low vape demanded his money. Mr. Harrison.
instead of money, struck one of them a blow which
'mocked him down, and immediately commenced a
scuffle with the other, whom he was on the point oil
overcoming also, 'when the fallen robber having re-
cevered from the effects of his blo-.e, crawled over,
and pulled him down by the legs. Thy y then robbed
him of his watch, a parcel containing six pair of
stockings, and his-hat, and ran away, one towards
etingo-lane, and the ether up Lisson-grove towards
Bell-street. Mr. Harrison followed the latter for a
considerable distance, but he contrived to escape.
Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, a decent, middle.
aged woman, went into the shop of Mr. Downes, in
Cranbourne-alley, and asked the shopman to show
tier some trifling articles. Whilst examining them,
the young man observed something in her manner
which led him to suspect that she had secreted some-I
thing, about her person, and accordingly he insisted
upon searching her ; but when he laid hold of her
for that purpose, she opened her apron and let fall
a quantity of potatoes about the shop. The beadle
Of Leicester-square was called in, who took her into
a pimp doom, and on searching her, found a roll of
valuable win concealed between her coats, which it
,was afterwards ascertained she stole from a shop in
St. Martin's-court. She was conveyed to Marllso-
°ugh-street, and from thence committed le prison.
