SURREY' SESSIONS.

Saturday Mary Mathew: was indicted for tittering
a counterfeit sixpence.
.It appeared that in October last the prisoner went
to the Golden Last public house, in the Borough, and
called for half a pint of porter, tendering a sixpence
in payment. Immediately on her leaving the house,
however, the landlady iiscovered that the sixpence
was a bad one, and ordered the servant to fellow the
prisoner ; the servant accordingly followed her, and
kept her in sight till she was apprehended, when the
officer found a bad shilling concealed in one hand,
and ls. 4.d. good in the other ; and seven bad shil-
lings, a piece of bees-wax, and some black powder,
concealed under her arm.
Mr. Powell, inspector of the Mint, stated that the
bees-wax and powder was used to rub the base money
with immediately previous to its being put in circula-
tion, to make it appear more like silver.
The prisoner, in her defence, said she received the
bad silver at a shop in the Borough, in change for
half a guinea. The Jury, however, found her guilty ;
and she was sentenced to be imprisoned 12 months
in ltingston gaol.
ifirn Fagan was found guilty of a similar offence,
and sentenced to a similar punishment, and to find
sec'!rity for her good behaviour for two years.
The Chairman (Mr. Serjeant ONstow) cautioned
them, that if they were again found guilty of a simi-
lar offence, the punishment would be death.

Friday three young ladies, nieces of the Honourable
Mrs. CAVENDISH BRADSHAW, very narrowly escaped f
being drowned in the Serpentine River. The young
ladies were taking an airing in a v;s-a-vis, and the
coachman was driving towards the upper end along
the Strand, and close to the water's edge ; but as he
advar.fted. he found the ground towards the water be-
coming rather steep, and attempted to turn about ;
in doing which, he was obliged to drive through the
watzr about three yards from the edge. In this at-
tempt, the horses were suddenly immersed almost be-
yond their depth, and the carriage was overset. The
young ladies were in the utmost danger ; but the
footman and coachman plunging into the water,
nearly to their necks, extricated them from' the car-
riage, and carried them safe on shore.
Thursday sc'nnighr, a soldier of the York Fusi-
leers, quartered at Maidstone, rose in his sleep, about
midnight,and walked to the window of his room,which
he opened ; he then got out and fell into the street,
from the height of three stories. His groans awoke
the landlord, who went into the street and discovered
the poor fellow in a dreadful situation, with one thigh,
one leg, and two ribs broken, one of his ancles diao-
cated, and otherwise very severely bruised. Surgical
assistance was immediately procured, and there is
every reason to believe that he will recover.
.Bow-STREET.—Friday TV. Warner was fully com-
mitted, charged with privately stealing from a house
in Prince's-street, Drury-lane, a watch and a jew's-

•
harp.
Saturday Amelia BeEarl° was committed for re-exa-
mination, charged with uttering forged Bank notes,
also with having in her possession a variety of notes
of a similar description.
On Friday morning, at Bow-street, Mr. Fisher, of
the Strand, recovered from Mr. Bolton, of the Golden
Cross, the full penalties of 50s. with costs, for de-
manding the sum of 4d. each, as warehouse-room for
two baskets by the Chichester coach, sent for the same
evening they arrived, a demand directly contrary to
the Act of Parliament.

We stated, a few days since, that the house of Mr.
Gustard, woollendraper, in Bedford-street, had been
robbed of cloths and keiseymere, to the amount of
£l4OO. Ott the day after the robbery Mr. G. re-
ceived
.an anonymous letter, stating, that on that
nr,rning a cart was unloaded with cloth, in St. John's-
street, and the cloth carried into a count in that
street. Mr. G. on enquiry, learnt that some suspi-
cious characters lived in the house described, and ap-
plied to Cie Police Office, Hatton Garden, for assis-
tance, when two of the officers searched the house.—
The fellow who inhabited it made a desperate re-
sistance ; he was armed with a pistol, but the officers
deprived him of the means of using it. They found
a number of picklock keys, some iron crows, and
other implements of housebreaking, also a quantity
uf cloth, supposed to be part of that stolen from Mr.
G.'s shop. The man was taken before the Sitting
Magistrates, when, after undergoing an examination,
he was committed for further investigation.
