Joza Sponza, an Italian seaman, was indicted for
stabbing and wounding Mary Burton, on the 17th
tilt. The prosecutrix, who could scarcely speak in•
telligibly, in consequence of her hurts, stated, that
she had been drinking with the prisoner, with whom
she had cohabited about a fortnight. After having
retired to bed with him, in Greenwood's-court,
Nightingale•lane, the prisoner, without cause, bit her
face and uttered something which she could not un-
derstand. He afterwards bit her ear and lip in a
shocking manner. She endeavoured to get away,
but the prisoner got her on the floor, and stabbed her
several times, with a fork, in her neck and breast,
till her screams brought one of the patrole into her
apartment. On cross examination, she said, she had
been at different public-houses, and had drank at all
of them in the course of the evening, but she was
not much inebriated. They had no quarrel previous
to going to bed ; but she would not swear that she
did not first take up the fork and inflict a wound on
the prisoner.
Wilson, a patrole, stated, that he found the
prosecutrix covered with blood, and a piece of her
car, which he had kept preserved, was sticking on a
fork, which was bloody.
Mr. Robertson, a surgeon, stated, that he found
several wounds about the neck, arms, &c. of the
prosecutrix. Both her lips were torn off on the right
side ; there were marks of teeth on her cheeks, and
her left ear was much torn. There was a wound on
the left side of the neck, an inch in depth, which
seemed to have been made with a foi k, besides three
other stabs on the neck.

In defence, the prisoner stated, that the proseen-
ttix had bit his finger nearly off before he resisted,
and, being in a drunken state, he could not tell what
happened.
Gazzoni, an Italian, proved, that the prose-
cutrix had been to visit the prisoner in Newgate, and
that she expressed her sorrow and forgiveness, and
they kissed each other before they parted.
The Jury, after some deliberation, returned a ver-
dict of—Not Guilty.
Keno, alias Reno, was indicted for man-
slaughter, in killing and slaying G. Harris, The
parties quarrelled at Brantford, the prisoner having
pushed against the deceased, as he was walk-
ing with a young woman. They fought together fir
above half an hour, and, although the deceased was
the victor, he died in two days after the conflict.—
The evidence of the surgeon was, thattheie was a
plpbability of the deceased having died by apoplexy.
—Not Guilty.

Elizabeth Grey and Harriet Steadman were also ac-
quitted.
Yesterd r, IV. Ilamilton was capitally convicted for
breaking and entering the house of Sir W. Beachy,
and stealing eight silverspoons and forks, his property.
IV. Murray and 7'. Crawley were indicted for
breaking into the house of J. Henry, aud stealing
goods, &c. the property of Mary Todd.
The prosecutrix stated, that she rented lodgings at
No. 3, Little Bell-court, Gray's Inn-lane ; on the
evening oldie .20th ult. she stepped out on an errand,
and, on her return in a few minutes, was surprized to
see a light in her room. On going in, she saw five
men taking down her curtains and packing her bed
in a blanket. She asked what they were doing ? and
Crawley, whom she had seen before, with the most
horrid threats, demanded silence, or death should be
her immediate portion. Witness, however, called out
" Murder," and the thieves ran off, taking with atem
her curtains.

On cross examination, witness confessed that she
was a woman of the town, but denied ever having
lived with the prisoners, but she knew the faces of
both of them.

Two patroles, who were on the spot, proved that
the five thieves fled to Fox-court, and dared all the
assistance that could be got, as they could beat 20
watchmen. The patroles, however, secured the pri-
soners, and the property was found in the street.
In defence, the prisoners denied all knowledge of
each other ; and Crawley said he had been drinking
with the prosecutrix all the afternoon ; which, how-
ever, she denied on her oath.
Two women (Taylor and Roberts) attempted to
prove that the prosecutrix had solicited three or four
guineas not to appear ; and, in their testimony, it
turned out, that the prisoners, who denied all know-

ledge df each other, bad ben twice together in /44.1
gate, visiting a house-breaker, who was convicted last
week.
caphe Jury found both primers.:--Guilty, bnt the
ital part was done away, by the insecurity of the
fastenings.
Crawley wished to be sent to sea ; but the Ri.airt
DER observed, that be had been sent to tea for picking
pockets, and had also been tried before. The navy
should not, therefore, be disgraced by having such a
character on its list.
