A man of die name of Bailey helped the prisoner up with and then he did ob•-erve its mist- and colour. lie knew nothing more of the transaction. _ The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, after a short consul_ Cation. The nffirpr told the Jury that the prisoner wag a notoriously bad character. The Recorder.—Oh 'es, Gentlemen, I have tried hitu be fore ; I recollect him %ell. Several Other trial% of little iutere!t to the public occupied the Cow t until five o'clock.. The Recorder Oleo dismissed the Jury, with thanks for their nitiesnitiiiig attention. Mr. At mstrong, one of the Jurymen, vri,lted to take this enrol tnnity of applying to the Court in behalf of Samuel Mason, a little boy, who had been tried and convicted, Of; Filthy last, of piekiiig pockets. He had emplii di into his case, and had found out several eireamstanees which would go mooch in mitigation of ptinishment. The sister t.f the no fortunate lad was at present in his set vice, and if the Court would discharLe the boy, he had no objection to take him Into his sets ire at all risks. The Iter , tdt r observed that it had been found necessary to punish those found guilty of picking poettets very severely, bleatise the number of offenders in that partiettlae branch of infamy bad so much ineressed. Transportation %as generally the punishment for such criminals, and the reason why so many wt le -sent out of the country was, that having lost their character hell., an opportunity was given to them to begin (as it were) a new lift , in a foieigo country. The gland fault was, that this was not made a capital utienae. He would certainly attend to the recommendation. The Jury inau was °ides et! to attend to-morrow morning at nine o'clock.

Sir Stephen (iambus Hunter, the sitting Alderman—".yen are not asked In live with your wife, but if you do not pay the parish for her support, you will be committed as a va. grant to the House of Correctiou."

The moment the marriage ceremony was over at Lewes, the sparish officers ihere passed her and her children to our palish, as beiug that of her husband's (the defendant).
