At the Old Bailey Sessions, on Monday, Mr. Thomas Cox .

Savory pleaded Not Guilty to the two indictments against him, and was allowed to traverse over to the next sessions ; haVing first entered into his own additional recogniiance for SOU with two sureties of SOL each.

On Saturday, David Dundas, a military man on half :pay, was found guilty of forging the signature of Lord Dundas to a check of eighty pounds, on Messrs. Drummonds the bankers. The principal witness against him was Lord Dundas.

On the Monday following, Lewis King pleaded guilty to the charge of having purloined a letter containing fifty pounds, which came into his hands as letter-carrier to the General Post-office. His wife, who was arraigned with him, pleaded Not Guilty and was acquitted.

On Monday, John Martin was indicted for stealing a reticule from Mrs. Mary Anne Cattill,—a very respectable-looking woman ; who, on being put into the witness-box, was asked whether she was a mar- ried woman ; to which she at once answered in the affirmative.

The Common Sergeant—" Then I am afraid you have gone too far here, for you have stated this reticule to be your property."

Mrs. Cattill—" It is my property." Mr. Doane, who conducted the defence, asked her whether she had not said she was a married woman?

Witness (with some emphasis) —" I am a married woman." Mr. Doane—" I assure you I do not doubt it for a moment. I hope your hus- band is pretty well, madam." Witness—" Yes, thank you, Sir, he is very well." Mr. Doane—" I am glad rift. Then we need not trouble you any more."

The witness did not seem to understand this consequence of her husband being in good health. The Common Sergeant explained to her, that, in law, the reticule was considered to be her husband's pro- perty; and that it was, therefore, improperly described in the indict- ment as her property. She answered, that it was her property, and, of course, her husband's too. The Common Sergeant informed her, that in law it was considered her husband's alone, and must be so described.

The witness retired, apparently unconvinced of the justice of this tech- nicality. The Common Sergeant, after looking at the depositions, said he should grant the expenses of the prosecution.

Thomas Read and Michael Maloney were indicted on the same day, for the manslaughter of Edward Thompson, at Whetstone, on the 9th July last. Thompson, it will be recollected, died in conse-

quence of the bruises be received in a prize-fight, with an Irish- man named Murphy; whose second was Read, the prisoner. At this fight, a gang of Irishmen behaved with the greatest brutality. Read,

it was proved, had done all he could to make the battle a fair one ; but he was overpowered by the Irishmen, who broke in the ring, and threw sticks and bottles at the combatants. The medical men who were ex-

amined at the trial, gave contradictory testimony as to the effect of the wounds that Thompson the deceased received,—and indeed, appear to

have been very poorly qualified to give any opinion at all on the sub- ject. Read was found guilty of manslaughter, and sentenced to two months' imprisonment ; and Maloney, against whom there was no evi- dence, was acquitted.

John Turner, the driver of one of Bardwell's omnibuses, was tried on Wednesday, on a charge of driving over Elizabeth Griswold, a child six years old, and causing her death. The evidence in this case was most contradictory. Some of the passengers and bystanders swore that the prisoner was racing with one of Shillibeer's omnibuses, and

driving at the rate of ten miles an hour; while others declared that there was no race, that the rate was very moderate, that the driver was very careful, and that the child ran against the horses and was knocked down. The prisoner received an excellent character; and he was acquitted.

On Tuesday, four men, one of them seventy-seven years old, were tried on separate charges of rape ; and were all acquitted.

On Wednesday, the Recorder passed sentence on the following pri- soners.

Death—Henry Perry, James Harris, Robert Wright, John Reynolds, and Joseph Steadwell, for robberies from the. person; William Field and George Treagle, for cutting and maiming ; Daniel Clarke, Edmond Pickard, John Williams, John Willis alias Hutton, Thomas Johnson' and William Tilbury, for housebreaking; Lewis King, for stealing and embezzling a letter intrusted to

him while in the employ of the General Post-office; George Russell, for bur- glary ; and Charles Reynolds, for maliciously shooting with intent to do some grievous bodily harm.

To be transported for life—William Strauss, Elizabeth Wrattan, William Haydon, Henry Cole, Caroline Ann Buckman, Charles Shephard, James Taylor, and David Dundas.

On being asked in the usual form what the prisoners had to say why sentence sheuld not be pronounced according to law, the prisoner Dundas, who stood convicted of forgery, said that he begged the indulgence of the Court for a few moments while he stated a most material injury he had sustained at his trial. In the first place, he had to complain that Mr. Adolphus having accepted a brief to defend him, had not attended and gone on with his case ; and, lastly, he had

to complain that the principal witness against him had committed gross and cor- nips perjury, as he could prove by comparing the testimony he had given before the commating Magistrate with that which he deposed to on his trial. The Recorder explained to the prisoner, that the Court could not now inter- fere with the verdict pronounced by the Jury who had tried the case, and could only entertain matters of law, such as a legal objection to the conviction on the record.

The prisoner said he had nothing to offer in other respects.

The Recorder said, that if the matters complained of bythe prisoner should be found deserving of further mature consideration, the course to be pursued was by an application to the Secretary of State for the Home Department. He then pronounced the sentence of transportation' fir life in the usual form. To be transported for fourteen yea's—John Bergin, Ralph Benjamin George Johnson William Wyllie, William Cleary, Ste hen Markwell, George Webb,. Lewis Thomas, 'Thomas- Goddard- Olynqiia'- • Borah, Jenne, James Hughes, Richard Herring, William Jewell, John Rees, John Patten, Joseph I by degrees, as she could raise money to do so ; and in the meanwhile,

Leyland, ;Mary Thompson, Sarah James, James Seymour, John 1.a.agley Crowley, and William Smith.

The remaining prisoners were disposed of aa follows-45 were sentenced transportation for seven years ' • 53 to various periods of imprisonment, differiet from two years to ten days. One juvenile offender was ordered to be privana), whipped.
