Court OF SEssloSs-Nov. 2I.-The lingering and
badly managed term of this court for this month,
closes today. Yesterday there was only one trial.
An old counterfeiter, named John Jackson was tried
for stealing watch from his friend He had no law
yer, and to that doubtless he is indebted for his ac
qutal. When the jury declared him not guilty, the
Recorder exclaimed, jackson, let this be a very So
lemn warning 10 you for had the jury known your
character as well as the Court they doubtless would
have arrived at different conclusion"
After this trial an appeal was made in behalf Of
Robert Melville taller TO discharge him from con-
finement. He had been arrested on charge of not
properly providing for his wife and family according 10
his means; and sent to prison "a dlsorderly per-
son. according to the act in that case slade and pro-
vded because he could not enter into cognizances 10
be OF good behaviour for one year His counsel said,
that he would provide for his wife and family whilst
they lived with him, but would not gre them sepa-
rate maintenance The case stands over.
CovRr OF SESSIONS, Nov 22.-Sentence Day.
sent the Recorder, Aldermen lngraham and Bruen.
The long agony is over-at least for the present
the Sessions Court has closed for the Session. Never
has there been sitting in which the public business
has been badly conducted The arguing of the
Of Harrington toek up three days. The election caused
the loss Of three days more-one day taken I'D in
flrming and arranging the affairs for the Grand Jury.
Thus days out of Ia which the Court sat, were en-
tirely lost.
Half an hour after the appointed time yesterday the
Court met. The first prisoner put 10 the bar Was
woman absGt five and twenty.
Recorder-Rachel Van Dyck now you're a We
man and not very cid one, and you spend your
time and particularly your nights, better, much bet
ter than by breaking into peoples houses. You COM
mitted a burglary in the first degree, Rachel-ihat
wrong-you know II was wrong, very wrong!
Why did you 90 rambling about al nights? its very
wrong for young women 10 be rambling aboat at
nights when they ough, be in bed and fast asleep.
You might have done better if yeu had thought pro-
per. You see you might have behaved yourself pro-
perly and been married, and had good husband and
a comfort able home; every good young woman can
get a husband and good home if she chooses. Now
you broke into this mans house when you ought 10
have been in bed And now, instead Of being hap
py and comfortable you'll be unhappy and uncom-
Portable for adJudge you to be sent TO the female
part of the state prison for the term of years
you'll be put to-ah! you'll see what you'll be put
when you get there.
John Jacobs came next.
Recordcr.-Jacobs' you're a young man--yet you
committed burglary in the third degree-you broke
into the store Of George A Titus-how came you TO
do so The watchman You enter. You're Just en-
terng into e-and now you II have TO enter the state
prison. and II will ruin you for life. You might have
earned two dollars three dollars week, so as TO
keep your soul and body together, but you preferred
stealing. You might have gone into the country if
you couldn't get living here-and if ven couldn't
have got any thing ts do there, you might have gone
West-n short, have done any thing rather than
steal See the folly of it-you made nothing by II
and you'll lose two years and half of the prime OF
your life; for adjudge you TO be sent the state
prison for two years and five months.
Sam Richards came next.
Observation-Disclosures, you committed grand larce-
ny-you stole several coats and cloaks more than
you could wear out in year You followed the baker
to the house Of Mr.. David Johnson, IL Broadway.
