OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.

Yesterday M. At. K.•llk. was indicted for stealing
two shim, two neckcloths, and a pocket handker-
chief, the property of Elizabeth and J. D. Fortest.—
Guilty.
W..414D0wal was indicted for embezzling money,
the property of J. Merchant and J. Garnet, his em-
ployers. The prosecutors are coal-merchants in Soho,
and the priscrser was their clerk. On Mr. Marchant's
cross-examination, it appeared that the prisoner was
his apprentice.
Mr. ALLEY, for the prisoner, contended, that there
was an end of the case against his :bent ; for the Act
of Parliament on which the indictment was founded
only applied to Clerks and Servants, and did hot
specify Apprentices.
The RZCOliDift having looked at what Mr. Mar-
chant had called the prisoner's indenture, declared it
to be his opinion, that by that instrument the prisoner
was not ao' apprentice, but only an articled servant or
clerk ; and therefore the indictment had given the pri-
soner his proper designation.
Ann Wildsmith paid the prisoner 4C3 which she
owed Marchant and Garnett for coals.
Mr. Garnett proved Oaf the prisoner had never
accounted to him for this money.
Several most respectable witnesses gave the lacran
excellent character.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but most ear-
nestly recommended him to she mercy of the Court.
The kacoanza said-44 Gentlemen, we all feel alike
oo this occasioo."

II J. arceiAnd was indicted for cutting and maiming
1. Moore, with intent to kill him or to do him some
grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Crosbie deposed, that he superintends the Re-
fuge for the Destitute at Horton. The prisoner had
been sent there front this Court, and bad behaved
himself extremely well until this unfortunate affair.
J. Moore belongs to the Refuge for the Destitute.
He told another boy to make a thread for shoemaking,
as he was in a hurry. The prisoner interfered, and
said, witness drove the boy about, as if he were an
apprentice. Witness told the master of him, who de-
sired them both to sit down and work ; they did so,
and when the master had left the room prisoner called
witness a monkey, and witness struck him slightly
on which the prisoner stabbed witness in the breast
with a knife nith which he was cutting his victuals.
When witness opened ‘his shirt and exhibited the
wound, prisoner said he was sorry for what he bad
done, and shook hands with him.
The RECORDS* said, in this case there appeared to
be no malice prepense.—Acquitted.
The RECORDS& directed him to be sent back to the
Refuge for the Destitute.' after admonishing him to
beware of giving way to ♦iolent passion in luture.

order to obtain letters of administration to defraud

Der's mate on board the Warren Hastings East In-,
diaman.

the accomplishment of his voyage, on the 12th of
May, 1816. Qtley, the deceased, had several bro-
thers and relatives. The prisoner represented him-
self its the nephew of the deceased, and made the ne-
cessary applications, and received the anima due to
