OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.

Saturday D. Barringlon was indicted for stealing a
handkerchief, the property of T. Hill, from his per-
son. On the 2d of December, as he was going
through King-street, Covent-garden, in the evening,
having felt a pull at his pocket, he turned round,
and saw the prisoner and two other boys behind him.
He seized the prisoner, and took his handkerchief
from bine—Guilty.
Several witnesses gave the boy a good character ;
after which the Officer who took him said, he had
him in custody a year ago, for picking several Gen-,
Semen's pockets, but by the kindness of the blagis-1
trate he was suffered to go at large.
The RIMORDIR told the Jury, that although it
might appear harsh, yet he must pass sentence of
transportation on the boy, otherwise Government
would not admit him into the Millhank Penitentiary,
which would be the only way to draw him from his
vicious companions, and save him from destruction.
Thomas Greiths, and Eisaieth his wile, were in-
dicted for stealing a watch, the property of John
Allen, the elder. The prisoners lodged in the pro..
secutor's house. The female prisoner was seen by
the prosecutor's son to open a box in his room, and
to take the watch out of it. Verdict—Elizabeth Grif-
fiths Guilty, and Thomas Griffiths Not Guilty.—
The Jury, in pity of the female's situation (she be-
ing far advanced in pregnancy)' recommended tier
to mercy ; and the Court crdered her to pay a fine
of a shilling, and to be discharged.
