The Great Sessions for Glamoreganshire con-
cluded on Monday last. There were 19. prisoners
for trial, of Joseph Clissold and Geo. Hnghes,
for robbing William Matthew on the highway, iu
the franchise of Swansea, of his pocket-book, a atch, teec.
(the first offence ni this nature prosecuted to convic-
tion for many years in that county), and Evan
frr burglary and atteniming to murder the wife of Wit-
Piekrell, received sentence of death. The Judge
held mit lit:t PligNt hopes of mercy to these offenders,
but said he slum d represent their CRP' to the Privy Coun-
cil, at the some time cautioning them against expecta-
tions which tniAlit prove faihicirtus, their crimes being
of so heinous a nature. John Webb, for stealing money
in the house of Edward Lewis, of Cardiff, was sentenced
tv be transported for seven years. No evidence was of-
fered before the Orgill' Jury against John Job, fur rob-
bing a 1 in Swansea harbour ; and Eliza Thomas
and Margaret Lewis, for stealing a pocket-book, con-
taining eash-ootes, floc. The Judges strongly repre-
hended certain proses-more who had been Wend over to
prosecute, but whose evidence had not been laid before
the Orand Jury; and their Lordships ordered the re-
eognikanees to estrested, which, we hope, a ill prevent
a recurrence of similar conduct. Tbe ewes *ere k*,
and not of say public interest.
