• Mr. ALIA; for tbeetlsoner, coiled a fellow servant 611
the prisoner'e,and asked if i pillow was rot left at her mato
ter's Lease by the prisoner when she quitted it?
Witness did sot knoW this to be the case.
The prisoner again stated that her master had declared
he would be the ruin of her; he bad brought ber up from
Wales, and had discharged ber at a minute 'd notice.
The proeicutor was called, and denied most positively
that he had • ever made-such a declaration.
The Jury immediately found her Guilty. •
The Recommit, observing that she had greatly aggra-
vated her offence, by charging her master with expressing
a maliciousness of disposition, which would have disgraced
him for ever if ber story was to be believed. She must ex-
pect to leave the country. '
William Mole was charged with feloniously stealing os the
4th of August, io the parish of Mary-ta-bonne, a hat and fens
sovereigns, the property of James Bennett, his employer.
The prisoner was shopanan ; ots the day named in the in-

pri-
sour ; told her of the circumstance; she replied, that she ad
no doubt be was at her brother's, and that she would go iii
search of him.
After the cross examination was cosehtded, the prosecutor
stated to tbe Coon that he Lad ascertained suhsequently that
the prisoner was sentewhat intoxicated on the day in question,
and he presumed that as men so situated often thonght them-
selves owner-wise, he night have taken the money with the
intention of keeping It safe.
Mr. Aeotencs—Whatever the result of this trial, your eon-
duct, Mr. Bennett, will redound highly to your homenity and
justice.
John Clarke is an errand bey in the service of prosecu-
tor; as prisoner was going out of the shop, be told witness
he wanted to show the shape of the hat to a gendemoo; he
was tipsy.

pang—accompanied him to Connell s, who denied all know-
ledge of the prisoner or the skins.

rised him to take any skins from the premises:
The foreman of the prosecutor identified the skins as the

A sister-in-law gave the prisoner a good character.—
Guilty.
Geo. Noosing was indicted for stealing on the 2lst of
July, 50,000 wooden staves, value 100/., the property of
James Wilkins.
It appeared from the evidence, as fax it was gone into,
that a person representing himself to be a Captain of a
ship, came to the prosecutor to know if lie had staves to sell;
be replied that be had,when this person went away, saying
that be would call in a day or two. He accordingly called
with a person tamed Francis, to whom the staves were
finally sold at 2/. 125.6 d. a thousand,ou condition that they
were to be paid for before the delivery. A bargeman with
two bat ges was sent for the goods by Francis, which were
loaded with the staves, and one of the barges went off before
they were paid for. The prosecutor went in pursuit of this
Large, and during his absence the other went off. After
.ome search, both the barges and the staves were ultimately
found on the prosecutor's wharf in his possession. The facts
thus far had appeared in evidence, when
Mr. ADOLPHUS asked the prosecutor if he had delivered al
bill of parcels, Which be admitted he had. The bill of par-1
cels being put. in and read, ed Gentleman, con-
tended that this put an end to ti
the case, as it removed all
grounds for a charge of larceny.
The CONNONSERGRANT observed that be was unwilling
to stop cases of this kind in the present state of the inves-
tigation, but he was of opinion that unless evidence could
be adduced to alter the facts as they now stood, the charge
coull not be maintained.
Mr. ANDREWS, for the prosecution, said that no evi-
det cr to alter the facts could be adduced, and under the
direction of the Common Sergeant, the prisoner was ac-
quitted.

Bow•smeax.—The indefatigable Johnson brought up
another set of thirteen bakers at this office yesterday morn.

.of the re.

dered the misconstruction of a conjunction, availed himself

without remedy. Mrs. Vincent, therefore, made her cove,
and left the office.
The second case was that of Mr. Shepherd, of Northam-

opinion he had held on Reiday, he was induced to thing
that opinion founder) ill error, and said. be' sliou'd he'anfit
to sit in that chair, ir, eatertsining such a contietion, be
hesitated to express it. A doubt having aim in his Wad
at the time, whether, as in the one case, two substantive
offences were crested by the coajunctios. it would not be
nen:sear/ to prove both the averments, he thought it ri ht
to gm the *reused party the benefit of that doubt I he
since, however, had reason to believe this view of
matter to be wrong, and that decisions of a contrary.
had fully established the sufficiency of proving only see
'the .tharges. In this Mr. %Petard, whoa " travail
opinion" be requested on the subject, concurred, insta _
the usual form of indictment for forgery, which runs "di I
forge and caused to be forged," while proof of either Mt 1
is all that is required by law.
Mr. H. Long, who keeps a ehandler's shop in Riapstreet,
was subsequently convicted of selling * loaf weighing only
11. 14os- as a half quarters. This case staved the commi-
sention of the Bench, inasmuch as he is not the maker,
but only the seller of the bread, and in fact derived
benefit from the offence, which profited only his baker ; on
Minas seeing the feeling that was mailfested, vOllllOOll
relinquished a second information laid against the .a in-
dividual.
On Monday eveniag, *ben the Sitting Magistrate, Sit
R. Brims, was aboht to leave the office. the street-keert
lof Charing Cross appeared before him, having in his cus-
tody or rather wider his surveillance, two gentlemen,
each of whom charged the other with a gross assault. The
gentlemen were Mr. Middle, of Haves Curt. Soho, and the
Baron d'Assig. Mr. Riddle is a lithographic' printer, and
the Baron has been in the German Legion, and has also ap
peered at this office as the approver against certain gams
ling houses in Pall Mall and its vicinity. The gentlemen,
it appeared, had given each other in charge, and sods difs
freaky arose as to who should be the complainant; but the
Baron gave way, and Mr. Riddle was heard. • _ .
lie stated that he was returning to town by a Greenvale*
stage coach, on that evening, and it so happened, that oo
the same coach, and immediately alongside of him, were
placed the Baron d'Assig, and • another Frenchman.' Tb
conversation between the Baron and his friend •tut
upon France, and more particularly upon the conduct
character of Napoleon Bonaparte, whom the Baron desit
listed as a great and unexampled man; and is this his
friend agreed most eprdially. -Witness thought he had ii
right to join in the conversation, and in the course of ar•
octant be chose to say •• 11--n Bonaparte, he was a
blackguard," and to use other expression! of a similar
kind; whereupon the Baron, without saying a wail, took
witness by the collar, and threw him off the coach
into the read, whereby his person was considerably
damaged.
The Baron, is his defence, said be ought to have twee
the complainant instead of the defendant. He and bl 4
Mend (who, by the by, was an Englishman) were engaged
in a conversation upon continental affairs, and Mr. Biddle
chose to interrupt them by repeated exclamations owess
sire of the most extreme contempt for the French natiOP
in general, and fbr Bonaparte in particular. He (Baron
d'Assig) remonstrated, and desired him to mind Ins own
business; upon which Mr. Riddle struck him in the mouth.
He then thought it high time to resent Bab conduct, and
he seized him by the collar, and in the scuffle Mr. Riddle
fell to the ground.
The Street Keeper stated, that when the gentlemen
arrived at Charing Cross, they were both very violent ;
and both agreed, after some conversation; to come before
a magistrate.
Sir R. Mama, after a great deal of uninteresting colt-
versatioa, said, be thought Air. Riddle was in the wrung,
and dismissed the complaint altogether.
HATTON OARDSZ4.--.llwanas Richardson was bewail:4
I for re-examination, on a charge of stealing alma
bricks.
The prisoner had been employed to cart bricks from the
grounds of the maker, at Spa-fields, to the premises of Mt.
'Wilson, a builder at Somers-town, who had purchased
150.000 at 401. per thousand ready money, exclusive of
cartage. Instead of taking the whole of the bricks to tip
purchaser, be disposed of four loads to a builder, at Ma.
per load. The transaction being discovered. he was takes.
into custody, and the buyer summoned to answer a charge
of receiving them, knowing them to be stolen. Richardson
was committed, and the builder bound over in hie own re-
wegnisance.
Several publicans were charged with suffering tippling
on a Sunday morning. •
The first was Thomas Robson, of the General Graham,
on Mutton-hill ; whose house Mr. Scott, the churchwarden,
stated to be open at six minutes to eleven on the morning
of last Sunday week.
The Sitting Magistrate (Mr. Sergeant Salamis) observed
that be did not understand that the public-houses were to
be closed before eleven o'clock.
Mr. Lairto-1 understood that tha hoar agreed on was
half past ten, and it was so understood by Mr. Marmaduke
Mellon, and 1 also thought it was so naderstood by Mr.
Sergeant Sellon : indeed. upon that belief, 1 a few days
back convicted a publican for having his house open at a
quarter to eleven.
Mr. Sergeant Simms; thought that as there appeared to
be a doubt about the hour fixed, no conviction ought
to take place, and accordingly he dismissed the case
upon the publican's paying Is. 6d,, being the fee of the
bearing.
George Wood, of the Northumberland Arms, Clerken-
well, was summoned under precisely similar circum-
stances, and for the same reason the information was
quashed.
As Mr. Wood was about to depart, tLe officer in attend.
ance. demanded the fee of him. He replied, " I sha'ot
pay it—l aha'nt pay it. I was brought here by 111 r. Scott
illegally and unjustly, and here I stand willing to bow Ise
the decision of the Magistrates, but not to pay any ex-
penses."
Afterwards, however, Mr. Wood, at the suggestioif %)
some friends who were standing by, paid the fee and quit-
ted the office.
One or two other cases were heard, which, however,
met with a similar fate. The office was then cleared while
the Magistrates consulted among themselves what should
be the hour is future. The hours fixed for tbeir being
closed, we understood afterwards, to be from eleven till
one in the morning, and from three to five in the after.

Isabella Sullivan, two women of the town, were brought in

Stowell, , the officer said, that there were inntemerable
charges of a similar nature against the prisoner, but the eases
at present were incomplete.
It appeared on inquiry that the prisoner obtained a know.,
ledge that those ladies dealt at the shops of Mr. Cook and Mr.
Wilson, by petting questions to their servants, Ind pretending
to be a dealer In linens.
Mr. GRIFFITHS said that he hid no doubt the prisoner had

' The prisoner was remanded accordingly.
' A miscreant named John Peter, a Geron), we believe{ has•

UNION•HAILL.-4;HAROE or 111URDER.--Aitat,fflay Joe.
Thompson, a sawyer , and Sarah Holland, a woman with
whom lie cohabited, were brought before K. J. CHAMOIRSf
Esq., charged, wader strong circumstances of: suspicion,
with having murdered a man named William Brant Cut,
ware, an inhabitant of Stangate-street.
James Wayling, one of the Bow 'street patrol, stated, that
at about nine o'clotk On the previous night, as he was
peeling through Jursten-street. Lambeth,• he observed a
crowd er_ people collected round the doer of No. 24 in that
street. He went teethe house, and sew the deceased sitting
on the' ground, near the door-way; supported hy his wife
and dgogliter. Witness, desired that a light should be
brought, and he then perceived that Cutinore was dying.
fie assisted in placing the deceased in a coach, and the
unfortunate man was driven home to ibiS house in Stangate'
street, where he died next morning. Witness afterwards
made inkuides in the neighbourhood on the subject of
the injuries Which the deceived had received. Be was then
informed that the deceased had called to pay a visit to the
female prisoner at her apartments in the house No. 24 p
that the prisoner, Thompson, happened to enter the honer,
while the deceased was there, and that soon afterwurds the;
latter was flung down stairs with such violence as to be dm
cause of his death. Witness took the two prisoaers into
custody. and asked the woman how the deceased bad fallen
down stairs ? She replied that she could not tell whether
he fell down or was knocked down. .Thompson, on being
questioned next morning as to his knowledge of the de-
, ceased, and the circumstances that led to his death,
said, he knew nothing about the man; and on being
informed of the death of the deceased, he exid iinsed
suddenly, "Lord have mercy! is it possible? I never
saw the man hi my life unfit that night." Thompson then
mentioned to witness that he would state to bins in what
way he found the deceased and his wife situated ; that on
going home the night before, be observed his wife lying
stretched on the floor, apparently in a state of beastly in-
toxication, and the deceased sitting in a chair, also to Lie
appearance the worse for liquor; that he (Thompson) de-
sired the deceased to get up and walk oat, as he had no biz.
sines in another person's apartment ; that the deceased
complied with this direction and walked downstairs, but
before he reached the bottom, to the best of his belief lee
stumbled and fell. Witness then asked Thompson whether
there was a light in the room when he went home, to which
1 he replied in the negative. and assigoed as a reason that his
wife had gone oat at the dine for candles and cheese. Wit.
oess then noticed the contradiction in this part to the for-
mer part of the statement ; upon whiub the witness, Thome.
son, said be might be mistaken on that point, for he was in
great agitation, in consequence of the mob that surround-
ed the house. Witness added, that the female prisoner
would have been killed by the populace outside the, doors,
had he not interfered-and protected her from their fury.
Joseph Lofty stated, that on the night in question he
was standing at his door in J orate% Street, and noticed the
deceased come tumbling down the stairs head foremost.—
IVitness picked him up and placed him in a sitting posture
at the bottom of the stairs. The lower part of his dress
was in great disorder, so as to prevent him from walking
either up or down stairs.
Ann Adhom gave similar testimony.
Eleanor Cutmore, wife of the deceased, deposed that on
going to her husband be appeared to 'Jaye been treated
with great violence; his clothes were torn, and his
:poc-
kets turned inside out. He died at one o'clock in the
morning.
' ,' Hr. Chambers then asked Thompson whether he wished
lthewity anything ? A barrister who was present advised
peon, who was disposed to enter into his defence,
le! be silent. in this stage of the examination.,—He was
met to prison, and :ordered to be brought up again on a
future day.. . ..
THAMES Pouca.—Yesterday Susan Chester, about
eighteen years of age, was charged with robbery.—
Richard Dalton, deposed tbat,on Sunday morning, about
eight o'clock, the prisoner called at his house, knowing
that lie was as old friend of her father, and pleaded the
most abject poverty, upon which he asked her to stop.
ant take refuge under his roof till the following morning.
Next morning about six o'clock she dressed herself in the
apparel of witness's wife, leaving her tattered clothing
behind, and decamped with every thing she could find '
within her reach. The officer who apprehended her,
upon asking for the stolen goods. was informed part was
pawned, and the .other part she had made • away with, ex-
cept some lines which she then wore:—
The prisoner made no defence, and was fully committed.

from his body with a razor, which he had taken from the
