bar on an indictment, charging the former with stealing
four oxen, value SUL the property of Joseph Waller, of
Plaistow, Essex, on the 9th of July ; and the latter with
receiving the same, well knowing the same to have
been stolen.—The facts of the case were as follow:
The prosecutor, Mr. Waller, on the 8:h of July, placed
32 bead of cattle out to grass ; on the 9th he missed
the four in question, which were subsequently traced,
two of them to Newport Market, and the other two to
the slaughter-house in Leadenhall Market. To bring
the charge home to the prisoner Taman, a boy who was
engaged in receiving the toll at the turnpike-gate on
the Plaistow road, was called, and swore positively
that he saw Taman come through the gate on the morn-
ing in question with the stolen cattle. Another witness
swore to having seen Saville in company with the other
pisoner at Newport Market at the time the cattle were
in the pound
Mr. C. Pitman conducted the case for the prosecu-
tion, and Mr. BARRY the defence.

Ta►nan, in his defence, solemnly declared that he
was innocent of. the charge, and added that he was
Dever in the market more than twice in his life.

Saville bald, that on the morning of the day in
question two men brought the four beasts to Newport
market, at which he acted as foreman, and ordered
them to be slaughtered, which was accordingly done,
and they were delivered over to them. He received a
most excellent character. Both ptitoners received good
characters.—Nut Grill.

NEW COURT.
Before the Common Szeocurr.

novas Walker and Richard Thomas werd indicted
for stealing, in the dwelling-house of Mary Marchant,
in Perkins s Rents, Old Pye-street, Westminster, a Leg-
horn bonnet, a lace cap, and a silk handkerchief, her
property.
The prosecutrix, an interesting looking girl, in her
'examination admitted that she obtained her living by
vendingficis in the neighbourhood of Westminster, and
on the day mentioned she went out to pursue her usual
avocation, leaving the property described in the indict-
ment in the room, and on her return in the evening she
missed the several articles. The prisoner Thomas was
observed to hand over the wall of the prosecutries
house a bundle, which contained something like a bon.
net, and was received by Walker, who made off with it.
The property was afterwards thrown in at the window.
Ti.e prisoner Thomas protested his innocence of the
robbery, and on the morning after-about eight o'clock,
whilst laying in bed, the prosetutrix and several other
lemales came to his bedside', and presented him with a
Bible with astreet•door key inside placed upon a certain
verse, they insisted upon him holding the ring of the
key with the Bible suspended to it, on the first finger
of his right hand, and they were to repeat a sort of
incantation, and if the Bible and key turned round at
the end of the speech, he was to be pronounced guilty,
but if it did not move, he was to be innocent. This.
however, he objected to, and he was finally given
into custody.
The Learned SERGZANT summed up the case, and
the Jury found both prisoners Guilty.—Judgment
deferred.

Alfred Muter, aged 20, a link maker, was charged
with breaking aid entering the dwelling house of Elisa-
beth Cole,, and stealing therein a large quantity of
wearing apparel and 225. in money.
The prisoner lodged in the room adjoining that of the
prosecutries, and in the morning of 18th September she
went out, leaving the property in the room, and on her
coming back she found all the drawers broken open and
the articles described taken away. There was a large
bole in the cupboard communicating with the prisoner's
loom which had been broken through, and on looking
through, the stolen apparel was seen strewed about his
lean The prisoner absconded, and was not seen for
many days alter, when be was met by a man named
Cleale, who took him into custody, upon which he said
he Mould surrender, but hoped his wife was safe, as she
was ilMOCent.
. The prisoner in his defence pleaded his innocence,
but the Jury found him Guilty.
The prisoner's conduct during the trial excited the
august of all present.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Orroaza 24.
:Beton naves Caw, Ph+ Chairman.
Mem Tory and Sera WaiiO4 were indicted for.
assaulting Jane-Terry.
Mr. Kam stated the case for the prosecution. The
defendants were brother and sister of the prosecntrir;
she lived in their house and they had committed on
her a violent assault, which obliged her to resort to a
Jury for redress and protection.
Miss Jane Terry, the prosecutriz, a young woman of
highly respectable appearance, stated that she was sis-
ter to the defendants, who kept an extensive livery
stable. On the 11th of September last she lived in their
house, at the livery stables; and after midnight, being
at the time in bed, she heard them disputing about
something she had said to each of them respecting Mrs.
Walton's Intimacy with a person of the name of Kitchen,
who managed their business, which witness bad repre-
sented as improper, and advised her sister either to
many him or break off the connection. She got up
and went to the room where they were, only partly
dressed, for the purpose of explaining what she bad
said, but the moment she entered the room they both
flew on her and beat her very mach ; she cried out,
and a private watchman, who was on the premises,
came to the house, and the defendants then ceased to
beat her, and allowed her to go to bed.
Mr. C. PHILLIPS cross-examined the witness on the
part of the defendants, and asked her whether the rea-
son that she objected to Mrs. Walton's intimacy pith
Kitchen was not that she loved him herself. The *ft-

ness positively denied that she ever loved him, or that
she had ever said or written to any one that. she had.
Mr. PRIMPS then put a letter, addressed to her
sister, into her hands, and asked her whether it was her
writing? but all the Learned Gentleman's ingenuity
and perseverance could not get a positive answer to this
question. At last, the letter, which was dated three
' years back, was read, when it was found to contain the,
words, " you know I have long loved Kitchen." This!
was afterwards explained by the witness as being a
reply to a communication from her sister, in which she
had repeated what . she had long before mentioned,
namely, her intention of marrying Kitchen ; and that
the love meant in the letter was only what she felt for
one she expected was to become her brother-in-law.
The Jury found both defendants Gaiety.
Richard Kitchen, the person mentioned on the for-
mer trial, was then put to the bar on an indictment for
assaulting the same prosecutris, who was again ex-
amined, and stated, that on the evening of the assault
by the first two defendants, she returned home about
ten o'clock, and met Kitchen at the sate, who, after a
short conversation, in which she said nothing to pro-
'woke him, struck her and knocked her down. She was
brought into the house, being in a state of insensibility
from the effectsof the blow. Two witnesses were called
for the defendant, who proved that they saw the prose-
cutrix lying on the ground, and that the defendant's
shirt was tote.

The Jury found the defendant God
The Comm sentenced him to pay a fine of 51. and
sentenced the two former defendants to pay a fine of
50s. each.

OLDPIELD C. MILLS&

This was an indictment against the defendant for
unlawfully obtaining from the prosecutor the sum of
one thousand ponds.
At an early h r the Court was crowded, and in-
tense curiosity appeared to prevail. On the name of
the defendant being called,
Mr. THISSIGILA addressed the Court, and observed,
that an extraordinary occurrence had taken place ; it
was no less than the prosecutor having been arrested
while in attendance to give evidence in this Court, and
he (the Learned Counsel) understood at the suit of the
defendant. He trusted, under these circumstances, the
Court would interfere, and order the Marshal of the
King's Bench Prison to bring his prisoner into Court.
Mr. JILKZET supported the above argument with much inposity.
Mr: Australis on the part of the defendant, contended, at coo.
siderable length, lat the Court had no power to interfere. The
facts of the case were these s—The prosecutor, Mr. Otdfield, bad
been sonic length of time a ruler of the Main Bench Winos •lind
this Court being out of these limits, the Marshal had taken Kr.
Oklfielil, which be had a right to do, otherwise be would have been
liable to haves Bill filed against him for the debt and costs, for
which he was in custody, amounting to 5501. Under the true cir-
cumstances which he had stated, be hoped the Court would pro-
ceed in the ordinary way.
The Quassia, (Mr. Hedger) observed, that he had paid parti-
cular attention to the Learned Gentleman's observations, and was
dearly of opinions that the Coon bad no jurisdiction in the case.
There being two camenalled on, Mr. Harmer, the Auseney for
Mr. Oldfsekl, immediately dispatbed one of his clerks the a Ha-
beas, in hopm-of-having Aft. Oldfield legally before the Court pre-
vious to the conclusion of the abase alluded to eases.

Mr. (Übeld Juno' arrived in the custody of the Mar-
share officers,
Mr. Janney: opened the ease, and Mr. Thrum' detailed the
facts, which occupied considerable length of time. The following
levidence was then produced :

few days with the defendant. who then stated that be could obtain
witness's liberation for 1,05 W. which be would ►and to a Nobleman

defendant expressly desired that no communication should be made
to a third person. The defendant• frequently stated that be would
set require any remuneration—only merely a dressing-ease, which
be would accept in remembrance of having restored a-father to a
numerous family. Witness said he had not the money at the kn.

length, appealing In the first place to the feelings of the Jury should
