tia. The Constable corroborated the statement of
the prosecutor, as far as related to his applying to
him ; and also that Berry said, on their going to the
Savoy, " That's the man I was looking for ; there
are three more ; if we can get them it will be a good
job for us." The prisoner in his defence, stated that
he met the prosecutor with a musket in his hand,
which he was endeavouring to thrust down a gulley-
hole in a court in Drury-lane ; from that, and his
conversation, he was induced to think he was a de.
serter, and went to the Savoy to give information to
that effect, and was there when Hughes came in
with tile Constable. He called several witnesses to
his character, and the Jury without hesitation acquit-
ted him.
The Chairman then stated, that he had received a
letter from an Officer in the prosecutor's regiment,
the contents of which he had forborne to state to the
Jury, till they should have delivered their verdict";
in consequence of that letter, however, it would be
necessary he should be taken care of, as it appeared
he had a very had character ; had, in tact, deserted;
and, previous to doing so, had robbed three of his
comrades.
Mary Sullivan was charged with fraudulently ob-
taining 91b. of bee&and a dish, value together Os. 6d.
the property of Mr. Smith. The beet was sent by
Mrs. Smith to Mr. Robinson's, a baker, and, at the
proper time, the prisoner 'came to Mr. Robinson!.
shop for Mr. Smith's beef ; the journeyman, without
hesitation, delivered it to her, and she took it away;
soon &ter Mrs. Smith's servant applied for her din-
ner, and the mistake was discovered. Mr. Areseenuss
on behalf of the prisoner, submitted that the indict-
went could not be sustained, as it charged her with
having obtained the meat
sunder false pretences;
whereas there was in fact no false pretence. The
prisoner, going to the baker, says openly, .4 I come
for Mr. Smith's beet ;" and the journeyman impru•
dently gave it to her, without asking any questions.
The prisoner's offeece might be petty larceny, but
could be no grounds whatever to say it was ob-
tained under false pretences. The Chairman said, the
conduct of the prisoner in obtaining the beef certain-
ly consituted a fraud. Verdict—Guilty. Sentence,
to be imprisoned three months.
Benjamin Dacres and Amelia aura were brought up
to receive judgment, for keeping a disorderly house
in Alie-street, Goodman's-fields. The prisoners had
pleaded guilty, and the Court sentenced them to be
kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for
six months.
..le4nlPacle, a porter, late in the employ of Mr.

marle-street. Sentence, to be transported for 7 years.
A coachman, named Perkins, who usnally drives
the` Hampton stage, stood indicted under Lord Stan.
hope's Act, for a misdemeanour, in purchasing four
guineas, for a greater sum than their legal and cur-
rent value. The principal witness, named Brook-
well, one of the Bow-street patroles, went, accompa
nied by a person helongiog to the Mint, to the White
Horse Cellar, in Piccadilly, on purpose to entrap some
of the coachmen, or other persons there, said to be
in the.habie of buying up guineas, contrary to the
spirit of the statutes ; where the prisoner had paid
the informer at the rate of set. 2s. 6d. for each gui.
nea : the gold was marked for the purpose by the
I Agent to the Mint, and in less than:five minutes af-
ter he purchased the coin, for which purpose he had
borrowed the means upon the spot, the prisoner was
taken into custody and obliged to give it up. His
I Counsel, Mr. Asentaws, made an ingenious defence
° for the m in, tinder all the circumstances of his Leing
hurried into this misdemeanour by the witness ; and
he contended, that the prosecutors had failed. in their
proof, as they had not adduced in evidence the King's
Proclamation, declaring what the real and current
value of guineas is. The Court, however, overruled
this objection ; and the Jury were constrained t:) find
the man guilty ; but earnestly recommended him to
mercy, under the circumstances of his case, and on
account of the very excellent character given of him
by three respectable witnesses. The Curt, or, the
same ground, exercised its discretion by declining to
pronounce sentence for the present, and ordering him
to be discharged orrrecognizances for his good con-. 1
duct hereafter in such matters ; liable, in case of an.
other offence, to be called up for sentence upon this.
Several vagrants were brought up, and sentenced
to an extension of their imprisonment, and hard la-
bour, when the business of the Session terminated.

Monday the remains of the boy who was barite at
the late fire in Tottenham-court-road, were at length
