OLD DAILEY.

Yesterday Joseph irinee, a person most respectably
connected, was pat to the bar, charged with haring
stolen on the sth of the present month, an iron stove,
value 5/. the property of John M'Nally. The princi-
pal witness in this case was William Kelly, a boy about
14, who swore that be saw the prisoner take the stove
and run up a Court with it. Witness followed him
and demanded the property. Prisoner threw it down,
and returned with witness to his master's shop, where
he was taken into custody. This testimony was at-
tempted to be corroborated by the wife of the prose-
cutor, Mrs. M'Nally.
Mr. ANDRZWII, on behalf of the prisoner, cross-ex-
amined these witnesses, and in so doing elicited from
them the most unequivocal proofs of their not being
a shadow of pretence for the prosecution. They
grossly prevaricated in every part of the evidence now
given, with that which they stated before the Magis-
trate. Several persons of the greatest respectability
gave the prisoner a most irreproachable character, and
the Jury instantly acquitted him.
The learned Judge (Muting) ordered the boy,
Kelly, to be placed in the box, and after commentinzi
at much length on the enormity of the offence ire had
committed, ordered him into custody; at the same
time assuring him that he would be prosecuted at the
expense of the county for wilful and corrupt perjury.
Mrs. M'Nally, the wife of the prosecutor, was then'
ordered to stand up ; the Cour► told her she was less
excuseable than the boy, but she had made the
discovery in time to prevent her committal for perjury;
but the shuffling manner in which she bad given her
evidence could not be overlooked ; the Court would,
therefore, commit her for contempt. She was in-
stantly taken into custody, and conveyed to Newgate
by the Officer of the Court.
The learned Judge said it was the most disgraceful
exhibition he had ever witnessed.

Catherine Sullivan was indicted for stealing llt. in
silver, from the person of John Nash, on the Vith of
August, in the parish of St. Hiles. It appeared from
the evidence that on the day mentioned in the indict-
ment, the prosecuter, who was a waiter, was return-
ing from Peckham fair about 3 o'clock in the mor►►-
ing, when he met the prisoner and another woman in
Drury-lane. The prosecutor sod his friend accompa-
nied the woman to a houie iu Church-street, where
the robbery was committed. The Jury found the pri-
soner guilty.
After the verdict was pronounced, the prosecutor
applied to the Court to have his expenses defrayed.
The Common SEIJEANT refused to allow him a'
farthing, and said that he had never met with a more
foolish, idle, profligate fellow. Ile regretted that he
could not send him to the House of Correction as well
as time prisoner. whom, in order to show persons of
her character that the individuals who were prompted
to seek their society by their abandoned inclinations.
were not to be plundered with impunity, he would
sentence to six months imprisonment in the House of
Correction.

George Harrison, a boy of about 14 years of age,
was indicted far stealing a watch, chain, and seals,
the property of WilHaus Hastings, on the 234 orJely.
'lt appeared from the evidence that the presecttor
lodged in the house of the prisoner's mother. On the
day mentioned in the indictment he went out and left
the key of his room in the care of his mother, as was
his custom. On his return home he found that a
watch, which was lying on the mantle-piece when he
went out, was gone. Knowing the prisoner to be of
very bad character, lie suspected him to have stolen
the watch, and tbereforecaused him to be apprehended.
When in cestody the prisoner confessed that he had
taken it, and stated that he hail sold it at a rag shop
for 13 shillings. The watch was not found.
The prisoner was found guilty.

the RECORDER proceeded to pass sentence of death on
the following prisoners :
