OLD 8.111,EY.

Yesterday Hector Olgruroe. aged 17, related to fami•
Ties of the highest respectability, was cAp'.tAlly inflicted
for stealing two► suntf•boxes, value 31., in the liouc of
M. W. Troy, r:4,1.

Mr. DoWLI NG stated, that the prosecutor was inti-
mately acquainted with liar prisoner's family. The
prisoner sonic time ago had quitted his father's house
in consequence of some family difference, and the pro•
secutor, finding him in a state of distress, invited him
to call at his house, which lie did several tuna's. Oil
the 31 ult. he called in Mr. Troy's ah-ence, au.l when
the latter Gentleman returned he miss-al a musicai and
an agate snuff-box, which hid been placed oti a table
in the room in which the prisoner sat ; u., ti.1111;491
could be heard of him until the I%:h ofJune, u hen Ist:
was found by 3lr. 'fanning, of toe at whose
house lie had also occasionally caiied, in a most
wretched state. Ile taxed him with robbitiz Mr.
Troy, and he ininielhaelv nave up two pawnbroker's
duplicates for the boxes, which be had pleat. fur 31.
the day after they were stolen. 31 r. Mantling La.!
missed two silver snuff-boxes anti some spoons at tiiii..s
when the prisoner ha I called, and he a..chse.l lfiui of
stea!ing them, upon lie produced duplicates
for all of them, and made a full confession of his
guilt.
These facts were fully proved in evidence.
The prisoner made no detente, but appealed to Mr.
Hawkins, who was sittintz at the Barristers' ta'sle, at
to character, who :!eroseti that he had known the pri-
soner since his cli';4lliioutl, and was intimately ae.
pi:tinted with his fatiliiy. Ilis rontluet as far :,s the
witness lial an op:m t: :lily of okervin4 it, was that
of a gentiemauly rune and he was much
br-
loved by those who knew him until this uhappv oc-
eurrence.

Mr. Justice I:oLao:- is his father's situation
n tie

Mr. Hawking—lle is a Gentleman of considezable
fortune, my Lord.
Mr. Justice llutaotinsummed up the evidence, ob-
serving that the cl!arge of stealing was too clearly
made out to admit of a doubt ; but the Jitry, in rim si-
deri n. 7 the value, wouhi recollect that the sniiir hous
might have been tal:en at different times ; the
b.r.c oat merely valit.ible as a fancy article, and
per-
haps it might nut be intrinsically worth 495.
The Jury returned a verdict of guilty of stealing to
the amount of :19s.

,Iwellitttbense of Mr. Stevens, of Raling,4ne 51. and
five 1/. notes, the property of T. Hamby; anal lieu
Ann fro 1, about 40 years of age, win also indicted
'fur receiving. the same, knowing it to have been stolen.
Scott, on o hom the 5/. Dote was found, was acquitted,
in con4equence of the evidence and confession of the
child not going far enough to warrant the supposi-
tion that she was an accessory before the fact : and
Mr. Stevens and others having given the child it good
character, and stated that she was an orphan and
brought up by Mr. S., who expressed a willingness
to again take and try to reclaim her ; the Learned
Judge intimated that after having undergone some
punish tient, as she had been found guilty, she %could
be delivered over to him at a proper time. The com-
mission of the crime WAS described by the witnesses
for the prosecution to have arisen from bad advice,
rather than natural depravity.
TILE LONDON tiRAND JURY.

At half•past four 11-. clock the London 'lrani! Jnty
came into Court with the last of their bills; and
haring presented them, the Foreman begged permit,.
sion to a.ld•ess a few words to the Court.

. _
The Corer —We shall be happy to attend to any
thing yon have to say, lientlemen.
The FOREWAN—We have now, my Lords. (resented
all our bills, and here gone Oriole; the whole of our
duty, save and except that which we consider a most
important part if it, namely, visiting and inspecting
Lis Majesty's gull of Newgate; and we now wish to
know front your Lordships whether that is a part of
our imperative duty or not ?
Mr. Justice llowtorn—tientlemen, the question
which you have put to the Court, has already under-
gone the soietnn consideration of the Twelve Jntlges, to
wit .tu it was suhtnitted some Sessions ago ; and it was
then ileeitlel, that although a tirand Jury may claim
the privilege of visiting the gaol, on the ground of
immemorial custom, yet that they cannat insist upon it
as a matter of right. That decision, which was the
result of mature deliberation, W 44 rommunicated to
the Wand Jury who made the first amilication upon
the subject.
The Fotteatax—We thank the Court ; and having
the sanction of so high an anthority, we ran tiepart
peekitly satisfied that tie have performed the whole
of .;ir duty.

)I!..lit4tiee ifot.norti—You have performed your
limy. 4;4410[411Ni. and you are discharge l, with the
thanks of the public for your i‘erriees.

L►Ov Mo:;4; 'a I -ea iv.—A contemporary journal
in reviewing this interesting work, justly observes,
that since the restoration of the ohl governments, and
the new arrangements of states and people it hich marked
the retttru of what is fseetionsly termed peace, a vast
notltittssle of travellers in Italy have poured forth the
contents of their jonnials upon the pnblic, and we have
hail alum lent specimens of more categories of Italian
tonrists, than the fertile imagination of Sterne could in-
vent. Hut, though a few have culled such aneedotes of
recent tutors, as were publiri jitris upon the Continent,
.the great majotity have treated Italy as if it had been a
blot in the creation since the times of the Crum and
tbe Catos; or, at hest, have viewed it only as a picture
NallerY or a statue room : while none have offered either
general or comprehensive views of the political anti so-
cial which produced a haute, a thalileo, a
Machiovel, or of those more recent revolu ions which
have even more extensively affected the interests of hu-
manity. The deficiencies of such travellers, Lally Mor-
gan has to a great degree supplied. Leaving aside much
of those dry details, which arc abundantly supplied by
guide books, catalogues, and works of professional cri-
lithos, our author has taken a master's view (if the
term be applicable to a female) of the whole series of
events which have led from the downfoll of the Cresors
to short epochs of liberty, prosperity and light, to a
titled ilreaso of plunder, ttttt 14,1. ald unavailing con-
tention. and to tbot state of " grim repose" in which
despotism. civil and religions, had for ages plunged the
fairest por:ion of Europe. Lady M.'s work is not there-
fore a classical tour, not a picturesque tour; but it con-
tains a rich harvest of " middle age" anecdote, abound-
ing with such traits of the domestic, social, anti political
life of the great republics of Italy, as cannot foil of ex•
citing. an intense interest in all who sympathise with
their species. The gravity and massiveness of the sub-
ject have not hou ever prevented the author from in-
*bilging largely in those humottrous and striking de-
tails of real life, which form the charm of her more re-
cent novels. Her views of society, have been more inti-
mate than those of any other recent traveller. Ifer li-
terary re:titration has (Traci wide the door of continen-
tal hosptality to her; and communications have been
made to the author of ' Prance' that would have been,
perhaps, diffiettltly obtained by persons, less known, or
of priueiple- less avowedly favourable to civil liberty and
ftation.d imlepets•lenee. 'This circumstance has given
the stun. s trt of interest an I originality to her nar-
ration, which made the reputation of her work on
France, and distinguishes it from all other books on that
Count ry.

Pr!!;.te Orrice, Ilnw-sTitEET.—Yesterday Hugh
