TENTERDEN—I see no ground for the application ; the Counsel ought to be present. I will only postpone it till 12 o'clock, and then if the witnesses are not prepared the prisoner must be acquitted. John Daly, aged 17, was capitally indicted for burglarioasly entering the dwelling-house of George Richardson, and stealing therein a 51. note and other monies, his property. The prosecutor stated that on the night of the 23d February he was awoke from his sleep about two o'clock, by a noise in the house. He struck a light and went down stairs, when he found the street door open; it had been opened from the inside, so that the prisoner must have secreted himself previous to the family going to bed ; he soon discovered that a box, containing a 51. note, had been taken away. Suspicion falling on the prisoner, he was apprehended, and on searching him a letter was found that he was about to send to one of his companions, giving an account of the robbery. He had disposed of the note.  The prisoner denied that the letter found upoi him was in his hand-writing; he was only car. tying it to the Post Office.  Lord TENTERDEN summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, Death. There was another indictment against the prisoner, charging him with stealing from the house of George Richardson, 78. 6d. the monies of George Williams, but which was not proceeded in. James Bray, (aged 30,) a respectable looking man, was indicted for stealing in the dwelling-house of James Thomas, three coats, and several other articles of wearing apparel, value 131. the property of Charles Chrisnett.  The facts of the case were satisfactorily proved, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. John Learman, aged 20, was convicted of entering the dwelling-house of Hester Roberts, and stealing a quantity of pickled pork, value 10s. her property, and a quantity of timber, value 2s. the property of John Coell.  - This case, which did not possess a single feature of public interest, occupied Nearly two hours. Wm. Tucker, aged 38, Was convicted of stealing two pewter pots, the property of Mr. Price, landlord of the Bricklayer's Arms, Gloucester-street, Commercial-road.  The prosecutor said he had lost five dozen of pots since Christmas.  Mr. Baron GARROW sentenced the prisoner to be transported fOr seven years. James Bladen and - Hunt, two young thieves, were convicted of picking a gentleman's pocket in Holborn.  Jose Marie Murrill°, a Spaniard, was charged with an attempt to murder Thomas Cooper. There was another count, charging him with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm, and a third count, charging him with a common assault. The prosecutor is a waiter at Story's Coffeehouse, and it appears the prisoner went there in a state of intoxication, and called for a glass of wine, which was refused him, when he became very troublesome, and on the prosecutor attempting to turn him out of the house, he received several wounds in the side, which the prisoner inflicted with a large clasp kHife, which he took from under his coat. The trial of this case was proceeding when our paper went to press.  At the Assizes at Taunton, on Friday ELIZAIETIL LUCKES, aged IS, was indicted upon the Coroner's inquisition, charging her with the wilful murder of her new-born male child ; and Eux.taerft Lucxrs, aged 60, was charged with feloniously inciting, abetting, and assisting the other prisoner, who is her daughter, to commit that murder. The Jury after a abort consideration, found both the prisoners—Not Guilty. There was another indictment against the prisoners for the misdemeanour, in concealing the birth of the child ; but the Counsel fur the prosecution declined offering evidence, as it was exactly similar to that already detailed ; and the prisoners were, of course, entirely acquitted.
