OLD BAILEY SESSION.S.-314r 1.

Yesterday Was. Henry Stanford. a genteelly-dressed
young man, not quite !O years of age, was Capitally
indicted for uttering a 101. note, purporting to be of
the Bank of England, knowing the paine to be forged.
It appeared that, some months ago, a young man
of a highly respectable family, was apprehended in
the act of endeavouring to pass a forged 101. note,
and, after being taken into custody, several other
chirpe of the same kind were brought against him.
This young man was known to have been. for some
time addicted to wild pursuits, hut, from► his education
and early habits, his friends had no idea that he was
engaged in dishonest pursuits until his apprehension.
His elder hr..ther, convinced that hr had been I, d by
others, immediately set about making inquiries, and,
from what he learned from the young delinquent, and
fron► others, he discovered that the prisoner at the her
hail been the principal instrument in his brother's
moral destruction, and that he hail also been a very
extensive utterer himself. After many days' search,
the prisoner was apprehended at the Sussex Hotel,
lionverie-street, where he had taken up his abode, and
was living in the most expensive style. Here an inter-
view took place between the gentleman alluded to and
the prisoner, who wished to he suffered to depart, for
which he said he would he grateful, adding, that if he
was detained, it would be the worse for the gentleman's
relative. The brother, however, was not awed by his
threat, and the prisoner was finally secured.
Case,. of uttering forged 111/. notes were now pored
against him by Dr. Jewson, of Percy-street, Rathbone-
place ; Mrs. Rhodes, propri•'tor of an hotel in Craven-
buildings; the landlord of the Blenheim Hotel; Mr.
Jarman, jeweller, in the Strand ; the landlord of an
Inn at Olean), in Surrey, and several other persons
who had been defrauded by him. The ease which-was
the subject of the indictment, was that of Dr. Jewson,
to whom he uttered a 10/. note in a very ingenious
manner ; and in all the other cases he evinced a degree
of cunning not often surpassed.
The prisoner cross-examined the witnesses with great
acuteness, but was unable to elicit any thing favour-
able to himself.

When called upon for his defence, he surprised the
Court by reading from.* paper a complete acknow-1
ledgment of his crimes, and complaining, that his
offer to plead guilty to the minor offence h.% I not been
accepted by the Bank. although they had extended
that mercy to others who were at least avidly guilty
with himself. He concluded au address, delivered with
lion shad combing' illiiiitv, by throwing himself on like
Mercy of the Caet anti Jury.
The Jnry foucl him Guilty—Death; but recom-
mended him to mercy, on the score of extreme youth.
The Common -Scutum"' said, the recommendation
shonlil be attended to: hut advised the prisoner se-
riously to prepare fur the morst, as his offence Wlll
one of more than ordinary magnitude.
Thomas Cook wag ako capitally convicted for utter-
ing forged Bank-notes, with intent to defraud the Go-
vernor a4t Company of the Bank of England.

WARWIcR, APRIL 29.—Last night, some villain or
villains broke into the wine vaults of Mr. 0. Mills, at
Leauiington, and stole a quantity of wine, and also
into the shop of Mr. Cashmore, butcher, of the same
place, and carried off nearly 3 cwt. of meat —A re-
spite was, during the present week, received for Cooper,
condemned to death at our late Assizes, and left for
execution together with Pace and Butler. Yesterday,
a few minutes before 12 o'Oock, Pace and Butler, the
first aced 23, and the latter aged 24 years, underwent
the execution of their sentence of death, for burglary
in the house of Mr. Phillips, at Witton. The conduct
of these men since they had been under sentence, not-
withstanding the exemplary attention paid to them by
the clergyman who attended them, and whose indefa-
tigable attentions to the painful duties of his office are
too well appreciated to need our eulogy—while it was,
at the same time, decorous, exhibited no softening
character ; but sheaved rather a sullen acquiescence in
their doom, without any feature of penitence for their
past offences until they were on the scaffold, where
they acknowledged that they had been guilty of nume-
rous crimes, and made no denial of the perpetration
of that for which they suffered : their last words were,
ti at they hoped God would have mercy upon them,
and that they hoped the world would forgive them, as
they forgave all the world. • A reprieve has been re-
ceived for Joseph Burton, who was ander sentence of
death jet the murder, at Worcester, oft man Met-
named Jetfoil ; the reprieve is probably granted In
consequence of doubts which appeared upon the trial
to exist in the wind of the Learned Judge (Ho'royd)
whether Burton's crime amounted to Inure than man-
slaughter. What punishment will be inflicted upon
the prisoner is not yet known.
Sunday afternoon, as some boys were amusing them-
selves in a field in Limehouse, opposite the Eel Pie
public-house, one of them, who had a dog, threw a
stone into a small pond of water for hint to fetch. The
dug immediately jumped In, and Inetead of bringing
out the stone, with difficulty brought a large bundle,
which, when opened, was found to contain the body of
a male infant about a mouth old; it had a deep wosad
on the right aide of the head, and was wrapped up in a
woman's flannel petticoat, which bad the name of
Bryson worked with a needle on it in large letters.—
'fhe body was taken to titeritteßaeons' Arms for the
Coroner's Inquest.

rtes.—Between one and two o'clotk on Snediy
morning, a fire broke out in the lower pars of the
house of Mr. Austin, clothes-aaleman, Whiteehaprl.
road, opposite the Church. The shop was divided
into two parts; part of it was occupied by Mr•
cut, a stationer. The fire was discovered by some nf
the inmates, who were almost suffocated in their bOd,
by the smoke. The fire had gained such considerable
strength in the lower part of the hoes., that it was
impossible for any persons to sake their escape that
way; but ladders bring placed against the first-flaw
windows, they were all taken out in a state of nada....
