MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, DLe. 4.

. These • sessions commenced to-day beforeT. Comm
Eaq, Chairman, and a bench of Magistrates.
Sinoisoo, and sus- other defendants of the Jewish
persuasion, who were convicted last sessions for assault-
ing a young man named Lazarus, when endeavouring
to take forcible possession of a burial ground, and on
whose case the Court suspended its judgment for the
purpose of affording them an opportunity of making
some atonement to the injured patty, were this morning
brought up for judgment.
Mr. Mixt' on behalf of the prosecutor, said, that all the defend-
ants @seept three had made satisfaction, and he would therefore only
pray the judgment of the Court on tbose three—namely, Sampson
and the two Alesanders. The former, be mid, was a man of wealth,
who kept his town house and his country house.
Mr. CLARKSON put in several allidavits, and addressed the Court
hi mitigation, on behalf of Sampson.
Mr. Bassi also addressed the Court on behalf of the Alexander*,
who, he said, no longer retained the situations which they had held
in the synagogue.
Mr. Sampson denied that he was a wealthy man, and sal4 he had
only retired to the country in consequence of ill health. He had
offered to pay the prosecutor lui., which the latter refused, nor
would he say with bow muck he *ould be satisfied.
The CHAIRMAN observed, that considering the very
serious injury inflicted on the head of the prosecutor,
and the lamentable consequences that might ensue fi om
it, he considered that Mr. Sampson was only laughing
at him when he offered 101. It was true that his
(Sampson's) was not the hand that had inflicted the in-
jury, but as he had been present, and acting as the corn.
mander of the party, he was responsible for the come-
quences that had arisen from their illegal conduct.
Mr. Sampson, after much remonstrance with the
Court pa the prospect of going to prison, at length
settled with the prosecutor by paying him 501. upon
which he and the other defendants were fined Is. each,
and discharged.
A man named Briosson was convicted of assaulting
an extremely delicate child, stated to be nine years old,
kut not more than five in appearance, owing to his re-
markibly small statute, by knocking him down with a
violent blow of his hat on the temple, which left him
insensible for some time, and occasioning him consider-
able illness afterwards. The defence set up was, that
the child had heed insolent, and ui.on she defendant's
remonstrating with him, he (the child) put himself in a
Agliting attitude.
Tice Clown . sentenced him ro pay a fine of 201. with
liberty to speak to the prosecutor; in ocher words, to
pay 101. ter the prosecutor.
.lo4ra Yortare was indicted for assaulting a watchman
in the execution et hia duty. The prosecutor stated,

that finding the defendant lying in a state of drunken-
ness on the steps of a door, on a Saturday night, he at-
tempted to t.,ke him to the watchhoutse, when he
resisted, forced the stick from his hand, and knocked
him down.

The defendant said that the watchman, who, as soon
as he saw him, called him a rascal, and was the first
aggressor; not only did he drag him to the watchhouse
without any justifi stile cause for so doing, but he struck
bim•violend') with his bludgeon. He (defendant) had
incurred loises and expenses to the amount of 101.
which it was not likely he would have subjected him-
elf to if he were conscious of guilt, after having had the
on-rr ot a convontise for 5%.
The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
