were charged with stealing several sf. sows the peto
pert v of a Mrs. Mason.
1 Mr K. W. Mason, the son of the prorrestrie, dated
that his mother was 86 years of age, and Innis a very
infirm state, and that she required a person to attend
[kr day and sight. A short time since be gave his
(mother some money for her support, amongst which
were three St notes, one was pumbered 8.383, and an-
other 8.384. The femur priseoer was occasionally
employed to sit up at night with the mother. and the
money was deposited in a boa in the old lady's bed-
room: from time to time money was missed, but no
person could account for it; but having the number*
of the two notes, ►e was induced to Inquirer at the
Bank, where he fogad that they bad received the notes
through M . Ladbrokes banking-Noose, and at
length it was aseertaised that two of the motes had
been paid by the male prisoner to a Mr. Goroey, who
keeps the African Chief wine-vaults in Seer►tows,
and another to a Mr. Scrota,, a grocer, in the aeigh-
bourhood.

The Magistrates were now at a staved still. because
neither Mr. Gurney nor Mr. Scruton's yoting man were
in attendance, althench an boor and a half had elapsed
from the time at which they were appointed to stood.
Edward Read was therefore despatched to fetch them,
and ups. their arrival th►j each gave paltry excuses
for their nos attendance. _ _ _

Mr. Sergeast SaLi.os told them that pablic jostlee
was not te be delayed for the mere convenience of
private individuals; and added, that if Magistrates
coonteninced such conduct as this, hereafter, when
they wanted a witness. they would be tornpalleil (as
they had power to do) to issue warrants for their ap-
prehension.
Mr. (henry's young seen was. sow desired to 1001 t
at one of the M. notes, and say from whom he took it.
lie replied that the name of "Jones" was upon it in
his handwriting; and, after great relit:taste. it was
wiling from him that the male primmer bad always
passed at his OM witness's) osstor'e beau by the
name of Jones. and that he (the witness) had chasged
the note for the male prisoner, and pat the name of
Jones upon it, considering that to be the prisoner'i
name. The shaming manner in which this witoess
gave his testimony excited particular interest.
A young mss of the same of Edwards, shogrens to
Mr. Serowe, was then examined, bet (if passible) Lis
conduct was more evasive than that of the hat witness ;
for it was not until he had received a severe reprimand
that any thing could be got from him. At one time
be swore he did not know whether the name of .loses
written upon a W. note was his own band-writing. es
