Seventy-one were sentenced for Imprisonment In the House
of Correction. Clerkenwell, and six in Nevegato, for various
periods; six to be publicly, and 20 privately whipped; and 97
were discharged by proclamation.
During the sentences for transportation the diffe-
rent groupes were with difficulty kept is any thing
like order ; and each division, as it passed out from
the door of the dock, generally set up a shout.
Among the seven years transports, one little ragged
boy, apparently not more than thirteen years of age,
as he went in the crowd from the dock, held up the
five fingers of one hand, and two of the other, to
signify the number of years of his sentence, to a boy
who was entering the dock in a fresh groupe, and
the signal was both given and received with a laugh-
ing, and what would be considered a ludicrous indif-
ference, were it not for the moral reflection which
the consideration involved.

Those who were flogged in the public yard, seemed
much to feel the ship of the • executioner, but one
fellow, who raised the strongest shouts, was the most
impudent in every part of his conduct, that was ever
witnessed, after getting his flogging. Of those flog-
ged in jail, we can only say that horn personal ob-
servation, we are decidedly of opinion, ;hat that de-
gree of punishment has no effect. One man, who
seemed very much to suffer under the lash of the
executioner, on.being restored to his companions, in-
stantly exclaimed, " Well, it is only once moie t 3 see
him again."—Sessions adjourned to October ‘2S.

Wednesday night the house of Mr. Maudesley, en-
gineer, in Lambeth-road, was broken open by some
r)bbers, who carried off a variety of drawing utensils,
and about three pounds in silver, which was deposi-
ted in a writing-desk.--The same night the house of
Mr. Celliege, in Lambeth-road, was broken open and
plundered of £67 in bank notes.
GUILDILtLL.—..EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY.—Yes-
terday a man, named Jenki3s, was brought up on
suspicion of having been concerned in robbing Mrs.
Kendall, landlady of the Mitre, in Chancel y-lane, of
121'.!.5, all the money she was worth in the world, the
hard earnings of upwards of thirty years.—Mrs. Ken-
dall, who is about 70 years of age, stated, in very
great agitation, that she had deposited the money in
bank notes, gold, silver, and halfpence, in a box,
which she kept in her bed-room locked ; that, on Fri-
day evening, at seven o'clock, she had added to her
previous stock in the box the sum of £l5 ; and, on
going into her room at eleven, found that the bcx
had been broken open, and that all her money was
gone. Several articles of dress were also missing.
The alarm was given. Officers entered the house,
and searched the rooms of the lodgers, but without
finding any of the property. They however found a
small crow-bar in a corner, with which it appeared
the box had been broken, open, and which was so
constructed as to convince the officers that the busi-
ness had been done by experienced thieves.—Mrs.
Kendall then recollected that bdtween eight and nine
[o'clock Jenkins and a stout man came to the bar, and
[ asked for a glass of gin ; that some whispering took
place between them, part of which was heard by
Mrs. Kendall, and was certainly calculated to excite
suspicion. " Do you," said the stout man to Jen-
kies, "go into the tap-room, and l'll go up stairs."
Mrs. Kendall perceived that they lingered about the
house, but had no idea that any trick had been me-
ditated towards her. They had, she said, separated,
the prisoner going into the tap-room, and the stout
man walking towards the stairs. After some time
they went away.—The officers having received an
aecerate description of those who were suspected,
accompanied Mrs. Kendall to Cow-cross, where they
laid their hands upon Jenkins, whom she immedi-
ately identified as one of the visitors of Friday night.
He admitted it, and said he knew the stout man well,
bt:t refused to mention his name, lest, as he said, he
should implicate himself.—He was remanded.—The
other person is known to the officers as a =a infa-
mous depredator.
lI.ITTJ N GARDEN.--Yesterday E. Norman was
fully committed, charged by J. Wilson, shopman to
Messrs. Madgwiek and Cooper, furnishing ironmon-
gers, of St. John's-lane, Clerkenwell, with coming to
his "taster's shop at three diffinent times, and fran-1
dulently obtaining goods to the amount of £l5, by
means of forged and counterfeit orders.
(larks Mien and Leonora his wife, were brought
up from Clerkenwell prison, and bailed out by Mt. J.
Jeffery, coach harness maker, of North-place, Gray's-
Inn-lane, and Mr. Goodspeed, a blind maker, of Hat-
tor-wall, for their appearance at the next Sessions, to
answer for their treatment of their child, as stated in
our Paper of yesterday.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Yesterday Mrs. Meeson,
a female of respectability, charged a Mr. Skinner
with threatening to murder her. He was held in
sureties to keep the peace towards her.
The driver of the hackney-coach No. 1169, was
fined 10s. and costs for estoetion, at the suit of Mr.
tifilths, of Argyle-street.

The Court of Assizes at Aix-la-Chapelle has con-
demned to death two persons, named /fairy E.:7.
marin and Chretienne Dirt, convicted of a hanildi

murder. The female convicted of parricide is cx•
demned to have her hand cut oil; and then to be lesl
to the scaffold, having her head covered with a black
veil, and her feet naked. She had been married to a
French soldier, who foe med part cf the etpedition
Russia, and of whom no account has been since heart.
She then intrigued with Bergmann, a•soldier who
had survived the disasters of 1312. The mother of
£hreticnnc Liffert for a long time opposed this ci-
minal :inion, of which two children were the fruits.
The unhappy mother paid dearly for her resigtance
to the scandalous commerce of her daughter with her
paramour. They devised the project of making
away with her. She was ret.arning one day with her
daughter from the market of Nimegaen. Arrived at
the park of Cleves, the daughter asked her mother if
she still persisted in opposing her union with Berg-
mann? To this she replied ea the atliimat's7e, usin3
at the same time reproaches: On a concerted si4nal
Bergmann, who had placed himself in ambush, in a
place pointed out by his mistress, appeared, and se-
peated the same question, and on her refnsal, he (tang
the unhappy woman on the gtound, and in iced co
her 13 wounds with a knife, use datit,hwr holdinz
