MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. siaNDAv, SEPTFABER 9. The Sessions fur the cosiity of Middlesex commerved Cis day, before Mr. Coast, the Chairman, and a LIVIC.I Of Magis trates. Oa the Grand Jury being called over, it wax found there were so small a number in attendance, that the Chairman said he was afraid limey most tie what they never did before, that is, adjourn the Grand Jury till to morrow, as there absolutely were nut 12 in attendance. They were again carefully called, when it Min found there were IS, several of whom had out come ia time. They were Oleo regularly sworn, and informed by die Chairman, they world be expected to be in attendance to day, and le-morroN they would be relieved by another jury, be at the saute announced to them that the calendar was very Leavy. William Ihsre, • stout man, was indicted for assaulting G. Lord. The prosecutor stated that he was coachman to one of the Enfield stases, belonging to Mr. Tucker. There was consioer table opposition on the road, and particularly from Mr. Dwyer, the proprietor of another Enfield coach. Storks had been fre qaerdly thrown at the coach, and the lives of the passengers thereby greatly endangered. The protector • few days hack drew up his rue h to the Woolpack public-house, near Enfield, and hid at the ti:ne four outside passengers. lie had not been there a minute, before the defendant came out of the put.lic house, and went op to the p.useoutor, saying in • threatening manner —" What did you lick that boy for? You ought to Ire ashamed of yourself for licking the boy. Come down, and fl ht me like a man ?" The prosecutor was not exactly in a humour to accept the invitation, and attempted to drive oil, telling the defendant that he had touched nu boy, and to mind Lis own business. With this, however, the defendaut was not satisfied, and endeavoured to pull the coachman off his box. Three or four eye-witnesses, who were either bystanders or passengers, corroborated this evidence. 'The Jury found • verdict—Guilty, and the Court sentenced the prisoner to a month's hard labour in the House of Correc tion. Philip Codd, a major in his Majesty's service, was indicted fur assaulting a man of the name of Cozens. The prosecutor and defendant were next door neighbours, living at Kensington, cud the former u:aw accused the latter of spitting in his face and giving him some very severe blows upon the face and body. It seems that the prosecutor kept scone dogs, which were a great annoyance to the defendant, who was a poultry fancier; and the dispute arose out of the prosecutor's ion, who attempted to take some bones to feed his father's dogs. The dogs and the poultry used frequently to quarrel, anti the latter had most probably the worst of the en counter. The prosecutor also took in washing, and kept pigs. All these were nut small annoyances to the defendant, whose ground joined those of his disagreeable neighbour. The Jury found the defendant Guilty, and the Court directed bin, to pay a line of 51. to the prosecutor. n alarm Drake, an elderly man of very decent appearance, was indicted for assaulting Susannah Williams. The defendant was a master carpenter, living near Soho square. The proseentrlx a few weeks back went to hire lodg logs at his house. She had a child and a large boodle in her arms at the time. The defendant looked at her, and said, ‘' should like to have a buss of you," and put his arms round her neck. She was unable to resist him, having the child and bun dle in her arms at thin moment. The defendant took other indecent liberties with her, and she sere lined out loudly. Site then succeeded in getting away. The relations of the prosecutrix afterwards called upon the defendant for an explanation of his conduct, and lie would give none. Ile exclaimed, Do you want to rola met I have done soothing," and ustd very abusive language. Finding on satis faction could be obtained, this indictment was preferred. For the defence, one witness was called. Site was in the house at the time this occurrence took place, and heard no screams whatever. If they bad been uttered, she must bate beard them. The Jury found • verdict Cuitty.—The Court sentenced the .defendant to ply a line of 201. The defendant said he could not pay it, and that he most go Ao prison. Eva. Hughes was indicted for assaulting Henrietta Hula • phries. - The prosecntrix was a servant girl, and was passing along Orange-street, Red Lion-square. when she was accosted by the defendant. It was about half past 10 at night, and lie be gan to use expressions to which she was unaccustomed, and to lake indelicate liberties. She pushed him off, hut he persisted in following her, still pursuing the same improper comlnct to wards her. She then radeavoured again to free herself from him, and kit him on the face with her hand. lie returned the blew by kicking her on the thigh, and beating her on the face. At that moment Mr. Boulton, an attorney, and another gentle. men, came up, and took the defendant affray. The defendant was found guiity, and the prnsecutrix agreed to *crept a small sompeusstion, besides the payment of the doctor's bill. SEPT. 10.—As it was known that the trial of the persons charged with conspiring to prosecute Jar, the King's geostillion, for attempting to ste►l a gentleman's watch, the night his Majesty went to Drury-lane Theatre, would come on this day, the court was crowded to wooers long before the chairman took his seat on the bench. About eleven o'clock the three defendants, Moines Cook. James Harrison, and John Connell were placed at the bar, and given in charge In t h e jury, on an indictment for coospirmg to deprive. Thomas Jay of his good name, and to prosecute him fur having committed a larceny. Mr. Alley stated the case for the prosecution. The defen dants, lie said, were indicted for falsely charging the present pitnieeutor with a robbery, which charge they followed up by • prosecution, at the Old Bailey. The prosecutor was a young wan about 20 years of age, who at the lime the charge was made was postilion to his Majesty, possessing an eseellent character. The defendant Gook was a parish constable not recognized by the police. The other two appeared to be his unauthorized as sociates. The learned gentleman proceeded to state the tacts et the cue, as they were afterwards proved in evidence, and concluded by saying that the accounts of the transactiors given in the public pipets had excited an interest fur the unit), innate prosecutor in the minds of many.aitiongst others Mr. FA 3lierilf Parkins felt for his ; and it spas to his benevolence: he was indebted for being able to bring the defendants to justice Thomas Jay, the prosecutor, was the first witness examined.

The defendants said in the public-house lie was a notorious character. lie woos kept iu the watch !worm that night, and brought before air 11. auntie toe next iniiritiag. He was sent to prison, and tried at the Old Bailey. The de fendants gave evidence against like, and lie a u acquitted. Cross-examined by Mr. Adolphus. Ile was • year and a half in his Majesty'► service in May last ; he is not now in zny service; he lives with his friends. lie wrote a letter to the Yor•ittg Posl, and read it io that paper the morning after ; it might be Saturday morning. The witness Ivoitated a guod deal in answering the questions pat to hint by the learned counsel about this letter. He at first said he wrote it himself, without consulting with any one, thee that it was written by a friend, at his desire ; but at last, that it was written by * per son of the name of Harris, whom he bad never *ten before nar since, in Mr. fix-Sheriff Parkins's office, in Bridge-street, Mr. Parkina being present. Mr. Parkins bad laid out 121. fur Ilium ' before he wrote the letter; be received some money as a sub ' seription since the letter was puhliebed. lie did nut oiler the defendants money when they took hint to let him go. James Smith. a Kermit in the King's stables, 'waved that lie went to Drury-lane Theatre wah the presuc•itor, bat left it about half after eight o'clock, and knew autbing of what took place after. Robert Duke, a Bow-, treet officer, stated, that two or three nights after JAy had been charged, he saw the defendant Gook at • public-house, in company with • notorious thief; they • talked of Jay, and Gouk said he'd ley tante one they'd convict him. Several persons were present. Francis liilliLmd stated, that he was • police-ollicer fonr years—on the first examination of Jay, at Bow-street, the de fendants Harrison and Council were standing together in the outer room, which was greatly crow del Witness asked them if they had • case against Jay—they replied, " We have so strong a case, that if the swells don'( come forward and nettle with us. we shall lag (transport) him.

JA111631 Pike stated, that he ass waiter at the Harp Tavern. Russell-street. The night the King was at Drury deur 1 beans,, the defendant had • plate of ham at the tavern, which lie ate with his fellow-servants, on the pareinent, and then went to assist about the horses. The King went off about ten minutes after. Me. Woods, the clerk at Bow-street, produced the ev idenoe given by Gook against Jay, at the in which lie state& that he had seen ,Evy pot his band into several pockets ; that when the King was leaving the Theatre, by purled a gentle man's watch from his pocket, which he t Guok) took out of his band; the gentleman said his guard chain had saved it, Ind he did not go to the (Alice. The other defendants gave c ideuce at the same time in corroboration of Gunk•s. The vise for the prostcnliun closed Jere. Mr. Adolphus addressed the Jury fur the defendants. Be said, but for the disagreeable &niers maims be must 'nuke on some circumstances connected with the prosecution, he wuuld feel unmixed pleasure in addressing the Jury. iu defence of meritorious men, sought to be borne down by an infamous con• spirncy of persons u haekiv fur notice, who foolisli!y think that notoriety is popularity. Ihe Press tend long may Cod continue the mighty bless:rig), is a 'torsi, fel instrument ter the promotion of virtue and suppression of vice, when placed in limiest hands ; but when used by shuffling creatures, who writ., paragraphs for newspapers for the 'impose of notoriety, re gardless of consequences, the press becomes the pest of so ciety. The prosecutor had proved the letter to the Morning Post was written in the office of Mr. 1:.-Sherilf Parkin-1 mere ar:ventiwer, who writes letters to newspapers, and takes up causes he has nothing to do with, for the purpose of puffing himself oir as a lover of justice. The learned gentleman com mented on the evidence at considerable length, from which he deduced there was no proof of any conceit between the de readmits before they accused Jay ; and that supposing him to be perfectly innocent, it was still more prohahle that they might le mistaken, than that they should conspire to accuse an innocent matt, of whom they kuew and against whom it was not pretended they could has e any previous Several persons of respectable appeareace gave tie defen dants good diameters. The Chairman recapitulated the evidence to the Jury, who retired fur a quarter Man hour, and returned a verdict of Not Guilty for all the defendants.
