This heing the first day of Slirhselmas Tenn, the Judges
did not rom• tionn until on• o'clock.

The Report upon the state of the Penitentiary at Milbank
w to then read.

IN THF MATTES MP THOMAS THURTELL.

Thomas Thurtell. she brother of John Thomell, the party
charged ns prinripsl in the murder of Mr. tVeare, attended
in Court, in the enstody of !Where. the officer. on a writ
of habeas corpus issued that he might be surrendered in
suisaltarge of lis hail no WI thin 17 actions.
Mr. Curers% on behalf of the had, moved that he might
ha rhirresl with the art'ons in their discharge.
The Cover inquired whe'her the answer of the officer
was endorsed en the writ; and. finding it was nut vet
enrictsed, refused to entertain the motion till this form
lissi t•ern ehs•rced, but signifies! that it might be re-
To wed after wards.
Mr. ('merry, at a late period of the day, renewed his
motion.
The answer of linthven was then read. It set forth that
be Isad taken and detained Thomas Timed', in obedience
to an annexed warrant, which purported to be issued on an
indictment against Thomas Thnrtel I and John Thurtell, for
conspiring to &frond Mr. Berber Beaumont, the managing
Director of the County Fire Office, of 1,9001. 6s. 9d.
and obtaining that sum from him in pursuance of such
conspiracy. •
Mr. Itaonntcx, for the prosecutor of the indictment,
graved that the Conn would commit Thane)l to the New
Prison at Clerkenwell, instead of to the custody of the She-
riff, in order that he might be brought up the Court of Ses-
sions fur Middlesex, and plead to the indictment with.
ont delay; or that he might be remanded to the custody
of Rethven.
The COURT, after considering the subject, said they could
rot adopt the course suggested ; because, neither the keeper
of the New Prison nor the officer would be liable to actions
for escanes at the snit of the creditors, in case the prisoner
should dv. Their safe and proper course was to commit
bite to the Marshal, with directions that he be remitted to
the custody of the Sheriff, charged with the indictment as
well as the actions. From his custody lie might at any
time he brought up by habeas corpus to the Middlesex
S eesione to plead.
The order for such committal was accordingly made, and
the prisoner left the Court in the custody of the Sheriff's
Office rs.
It is needless to observe, that this person is brother to
the man now in Hertford gaol for the murder of Mr.
IVeare. He is a plain, rather vulgar looking man, be-
t wren thirty and forty years of age, and was dressed in a
slovenly and careless manner. His spirits seemed depressed.
His appearance bespeaks no ex traordinary muscnlar strength,
so that he was not likely to distinguish himself much in the
prize ring, if it be true that be was a candidate for fame
it, that way. He hail come to surrender himself to no less
than sixteen actions, but the amount of debt comprised in
tkis extended litigation, might not, perhaps, have amounted
to a WOOL

THE RING V. O'MEARA.
This case was called on in the peremptory paper late in
the day.
Mr. PATTISON begged it might stand over, as the other
Counsel were absent.
The COURT said it was too late to take it, and therefore it
might stand till to morrow.
At the rising of the Court, Mr. James Stamp Sutton
Cooke, brother to • the claimant of the barony of Stafford,
presented himself, and beggid to know what time he had to
plead to the indictment found against him and others for a
conspiracy, on the prosecution of Sir G. Jerningbam. He
was informed thst he was entitled to four days, on which he
bowed, and left the Court.
