SURREY SESSIONS.

William Smith and John Grimshaw were indicted for
waling eight bushels of oats, the property of Mr.
Messenger, of Kingston, on the 22d of October.—
Mr. Messenger, who is a corn-factor, residing at
Kingston, having a quantity of oats to send to Guild-
ford, directed the prisoners to load the waggon in
readiness the day before They accordingly came
clown in the afternoon, and the witness going into
the stable, which joins the granary, some time afttr,
he perceived something concealed under the straw,
beneath the manger, and on examination, discovered
two sacks filled with oats, similar to these the priso.
ners had been plating into the waggon. He, there-
fore, determined to watch the following morning'd
previous to the waggon leaving the premises, and ac-
c( rdiagly concealed himself and a constable in a
building acijo;ning ; they saw the prisoners go they
into the stable, and return with the sacks, which
placed on the waggon, when he followed, and ac-
cus_•d them of having lobbed him, and gave them in
.charge to the constable. Smith appearing cast down,
Grimsh.tw encouraged him, saying, he knew what
hate 'awaited them, and be hoped G9D would take

tare of their families. The pr'siiers, in their ge.
fence, acknowledged having taken the oats, but said
they toort,hemfui ant purpdse ,of giving their hors*
an additioital feed on the road. The Jury found them
Guilty, but recrontfnended them to mercy ; and the
Court-sentenced them.to three months imprisonment
in the House of Correction.
T. Ruff and R. Oliver were charged with stealing a
number of fowls, die property of Mr. Hanhy, of
Deptford, on the 14th of December. It appeared
that on the morning above mentioned, about four
o'clock, Snow, the constable, met the prisoners, just
below the Elephant and Castle, carrying a basket of
fowls. He enquired where they got them ? and was
informed they had purchased them"of a person at
Foot's Cray, arid were going to Newgate Market to
sell them. This account not satisfying him, they
were taken to the watch-house, and, on searching
them, a dark lanthorn, tinder-box, &c. were found
upon them. They were taken to Union Hall on the
following morning, when a servant of Mr. Hanby
swore to the foWls being her master's property. The
prisoners, in,their defence, said they found the fowls,
lanthorn, tinder-box, &e. by the side of the road, just
before they; were stopped by Snow.—The Jury found
them guilty.

Wednesday, Mr. JOHN PAWSON, Surgeon's Assis-
tant of his Majesty's ship Crocodile, was tried at
Portsmouth by a Court Martial, for absenting himself
without leave. ''Dismissed his ship, and put at the
bottom of the list of Assistant-Surgeons of the Royal
Navy.
A Court Martial was held last week at Portsmouth
on Captain JOHN SPEARING, of the Royal Marines,
embarked on board his Majesty's ship Leyden, at his
own request, on being accused by the officers of the
ward-room mess, of embezzling the mess-money.—
The Court was of opinion, that his conduct had been
fraudulent in his accounts, as caterer of the mess, and

unbecoming the character of an officer ; and did ad-
judge him to be dismissed from his Majesty's service.
Thursday last the powder-mills at Chilworth, near
Guildford, blew up, with a dreadful explosion. Pro-
videntially no persons were hurt.

Saturday evening & at nine o'clock, two despera-
does, and a womaiwithout a bonnet, entered the
apartment of Mrs. Ross, of No. 16, Eagle-street, Red
Lion-square, and, after binding her hand and foot,
one of them drew a knife, threatening her life if she
made any resistance, and cut her pockets off, contain-
ing RS, and some change, besides tabing some clothes
belonging to the family, with which they escaped.
The men were dressed like labourers.
MANSION-MOUSE.—Yesterday a long investigation
took place of an assault, committed some nights since
upon Mr. England, the Beadle of Langbourn Ward,
in the execution of his duty. Mr. E. stated, that
having heard of several burglaries, he took his round
in his ward, about two • clock, and, seeing some
men standing sear to the Langbourn Coffee-house, he
went with the watchman, and demanded who they
were ; when, with harsh expressions, they refused
giving him any satisfaction. Upon going nearer one
of the men struck him a violent blow in the mouth,
when several others came out of the coffee-house,
who assaulted him and the watchman, but the master

of the coffee-house opening the door to answer for
the gentlemen, the beadle did not take them into cus-
tody. The statement was supported by several who
were witnesses of the assault. Tile offendiAg rarties
in their defence, said they were lodgers at the coffee-
house, and had not committed any offence when the
constable -came to them, who they supposed wanted
to make a property of them. His Lordship wished
the parties to retire and make it up ; but this was ob-
stinately refused by the offenders, who were bound
over to the London Sessions.

GUlLDHALL.—Yesterday a woman, aged 70, was
charged by Mr. Chamberlain, of Bartholomew-close,
as an impostor. He stated, that about three months
ago, on Sunday evening, she was in an apparent
tit at his door, and when she recovered, he made
a collection for her among the bye-sunders, to carry
her to Stanmore, where she said she resided, when a
gentleman passing said it was her usual mode of ob-
taining charity. On Sunday evening she repeated
the same scene in Bartholomew-close, and he (Mr. C.)
delivered her over to an officer. After a suitable re-
primand from the Alderman, and, on promising to
return to Stanmore, she was discharged.
J. Cadman was charged by J. Davies, waiter at the
Horse Shoe and Star, Fleet-street, with defrauding
him of 6s. 60. The prosecutor stated, that the pri-
soner on Saturday evening, had liquors to the amount',
of 3s. ld. and decamped without paying his reckon-
ing. On Sunday evening he had the effrontery to
return, and had liquors to the amount of 3s. sd. but
when asked to pay for them he said he had no money.
Being told he must either pay or go to prison, he sent
to a Mr. Clarke for the loan of 7s. but Mr. C. sent his
compliments back, and would not lend him 7d. as he
was a swindler, and they never would recover the
money, unless they sent him to prison. Pe did not
deny the charge, but said, that as soon as he could
hear from his friends in the country he would pay the
money. He said he was clerk to a tobacco-manufac:
turer in Cannon-street. He was, however, sent to
prison until the money be paid, as well as the waiter's
expences.
MAittaxmonou-sealrr.—One Will,:, a taylor, in
Wardour-street, Pritchard, a butcher, (both masters)
and Biars. the son of a publican, have been taken into
custody, under circumstances rather singular. It ap-
peared that one Hoddy, a patrole, called on Mr.
Stacey, of Wimpole-street, a day or two after his house
had been broken open, and told him that if he would
give 20 guineas and half the conviction money, he
would get him back his property and bring the thief
to justice. Mr. Stacey appointed to see him the
next day, as he said he had no money, but he would'
introduce him to a draper. This draper did not in-
terfere, and Hoddy took the' prisonor Wilkes, bue.l
nothing was discovered. A warrant was then prom..
red to search the house of Pritchard, who had offered
to sell some cloth to Wilkes, which he, Pritchard, said
young Biars had got upon the crack (house-breaking)
but there was nothing found. The three prisoners
were examined separately, when Pritchard said, that
Biars had brought him some cloth in a handkerchief,
and on Biars being examined, he denied any know-
ledge of Pritchard. A key was found in the apart-
ments of Biars which fitted the door of Mr. Stacey's
house. Two of the prisoners, Biars and, Pritchard,
were cpuurtitted for
