MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

THE RING V. NORTHHOOSE AND LOWE.
The defendants, who were convicted on Monday of a
fraud and conliiracy, at the sitting of the Court this
morning were brought up for judgment ; but upon
their being placed at the bar, the Chairman said. they
must be remanded, as the Court hed not yet decided on
the punishment the offence deserved.
Mr.Northhouse—Had not this been the case, I should
have moved.for an arrest of judgment, as I will pro-
duce affidavits that will totally disprove the .evidence
is which I have been convicted.
The CHAIRMAN—The Jury, by their verdict, have
decided on the credibility of mat evidence.
Mr. Northhouse—l do not find fault with the deci-
sion cf the Jury; but I will.prove that Lord Itossmare
is one of my best and warmest friend!, and that the
prosecutor was perfectly aware; belorehe g eye the bills,
that neither Colonel Jones nor Mr. flume were proprie-
tors of the London Free Press newspaper. •
Mr. PHILLIPS seid, this was quite irregular, and
ought not to be permitted ; the defendant was mek;ng
a statement on purpose that it might get into the News-
pipers.
'Mr. Northhonse (with much warmth)—My honour,
Sir, is at stake in this proceeding, and that is dearer to
me than lile. Give me but one week, and I Will utterly
disprove the charge against me.

The CHAIRMAW—I shall remand yqu until the ad-
journment day, which is more toan a fortnight.
Mr. Northhouse—Thank you, Sit.
The defendants were then rempped in custody.
THU OREEN•EYED MoSSTER!
Mrs. Anne Hughes, a plump young widow of five or
siz and twenty, dressed in a stern) green plaid, of the
smaller size, with a pair of dark hazel eye:, prettily set
in straight pencilled eye brows, that over hung i spirited
turned-up nose, and coral lips ot corresponding spirit
and archness, and wearing a tine straw bonnet encircled
with a black veil, appeared at these Sessions ibis morn-
ing, to prosecute a charge of assault, committed on her
person by a dark good-looking married lady, of the
name of Mrs. Mary Anne Hassel, a neatly dressed
woman, of equal standing and rival beauty.
Mrs. Anne Hughes swore to the assault, and said that
the defendant had, in addition to the said assault, called
her by it. a wrong name." Defendant, she added, had,
been acquainted with her for twelve years, and ought.
to have known better. Prosecutriz would .not hoe
brought the case into Court if the defendant had apoiii
lonized, and enabled her to pay her doctor's. bill foe,
getting rid of her two black eyes.
Mr. ALLEY, in behalf of the defendant, proposed now
to offer an apology, but the prbsecutrit iefthed to take
any apology, except froin her ass silant's owu-lips. Mr.
Al'ey said that his fair client
.would 44 rather die" than
apologise herself to the prosecutris. 'The Learned Gen-
tleman then proceeded to address the Court' for the
defendant. The defendant's husband unfortunately
kept a horse and chaise, and the defendant was irri-
tated at the prosecutriet 'being driven by hei
band into the country on 'the day the assault took
place. Prosecutriz was walking near the defendant's
house soon afterwards, and defendant gave her a
friendly lecture on the impropriety of a young
widow's riding out with other folk's husbands—(Pro-
secutriz here said that her mother went with her on that
occasint),—Prosecutriz had called defendant bad names,
and this pro•ciked the assault. The Learned Gentle-
man, as a last resoure, observed, thrit if the prosecutris
w .uld not take an apology in the shape first proposed,
he woull promise her another ailing in the chaise.—
(Much laughter).
The Jury returned a verdict against the defendant.
In the course of the proceedings the prosecutriz said,
'that the defendant must have a poor opinion of; er own
persbnal attractions to be jealous of others.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

S--

BOW—STREET
An inquiry into an extensive robbery which had been committed
in a public house, celled the Salmi)? Palace, Savoy-street. Strand, '
' occupiei Mr. ilatts until a late hour list night. The party
charged upon suspicion was the pot boy, Chula Opringeil, who had
lived in the house eighteen months.
Catharine Landman stated, that *he was the daughter to the
proprietor, and that her father bad occupied the Savoy Palace only
two months. The prisoner was continued on the recominendition
of the tormer landlord. She went up stairs about three O'cloek
that afternoon, and discovers.d t..e door of the front room on the
second loot open, several articles lay scattered about the coons,
and every thing seemed in disorder. A bureau and a chest of
drawers in an adjoining room had been opened by means of false
keys. A cash box, con: siding thirty sovereigns' 101. in silver, and
301. in bank-notes, together with a post-obit bond fur 4501. and
several over due bills of exchange, were taheulrom one of the
drawers, and a quantity of plate from another. A money chest
belooging to a Society that met at thelouse was also broke and 80/1
taken from it. The resat, she suspected the prisoner was, that on
the Saturday week before she lost .51. from the bar, and bad little
doubt that te stole it, as no stranger had access.
Fagan mentioned that the only persons who had been up stairs
prior, to the robbery were two men whom the prisoner had attired
with ale, in a room on the first floor. As these men made a preci-
pitate retreat, leaving their ale undrank, he suspected that the rub-
bery had been effected by them with the privity of the prisoner.—
The prisoner was a mail, and his wages were only Os. a week, yet
in his box were found a sovereign, a half sovereign, and some silver,
and during the last week be *ore a good silver watch.
Mr. HALLS asked if be bad ever been seen with it watch before
the first robbery ?
Mr. Laudman and his daughter said not.
Mr. Haus said die evidence would not warrant him in detain-
log the prisoner. The fact as to how he had become possessed of
the watch should be inquired into, and other measures should be
adopted to dezelope the transaction. In the mean time, however,
he ordered the prisoner to be discharged.
r" Tint blouuar Bosizar.—The police. it would appear, notwitb-
stanoting all their exertions, are still at fault respecting the perpe-
trators of this most daring rubbery.—Two men were apprehended
on Monday night, one by the lacers belonging to this establish-
ment, and the other by those attached to Lambeth-street; from
whence he was brought,-by Ledbetter and Morris, yesterday. for
the purpose of being examined. At one o'clock, Mr. and Mrs.
Warrington having arrived. the male prisoners, and the servant girl,
who underwent an examination last week, were taken into the prl-
-7 vate room, where they remained for about an hour, when the mile
prisoners left the office, in company of Ledbetter and Morris,
having been, as it was 'understood, discharged ; but the female
having been remanded fur a future day, was committed to the cus-
tody of the gaoler. The proceeding was strictly private. Front
the spirit of emulation which exists among all classes of the police,
to bring these offenders to justice. a few days only can elapse be-
fore that object of desire will be effected.
The wretched woman, so well known u Lady Barrymore, was
again brought before the Magistrates, in a state of insensibility,
occasioned by excessive drinking. A number of tradesmen and
shopkeepers, residing in New-street, Covent-garden. appeared with
the fragments of the glass which she hid destroyed in their shop
windows, and complained of the perpetual nuisance which she was
to them. It was, they thought, extraordinary. that some means of
keeping her confined had nix been adopted. As it was, she was a
smoothly blister to the whole parish.
1 Mr. ilitts regretted his inability to put a period to the evil
1 As the unfortunate woman was se drunk, he ordered her to be kept
in the watcbhcuse until the morning, when be would bear the
charges against her.
She was then carried off to the watchhouse in the arms of half a
dozen officer' and street-keepers.
