Dennis Daley, for larceny : George Martin and William Good, for cattle stealing. :-? NO BTLL. 1 -^ Eliza Jane Nelson, attempted suicide. f* OBT JJNING MONEY BY FALSE PRETENCES. Jfrßrookfield appeared for the prosecution. James Dick, aged 33, bootmaker, was arraigned upon an indictment charging him w ith°obfcaiiiim,' money upon false pretences* and forging and uttering, in November last at Grabamstown. The prisoner pleaded gniJty, and called upon Inspector Bulleu to speak as to his general character. Mr Bullen said he had known prisoner for about four years, and had never known him on any previous occasion to have committed any offence. He always considered him a hard working industrious man, but unfor tunately prisoner had given way to drink, and he thought the crimes of which he was charged were committed under the in fluence of drink. His Honor. said that in consideration of his previous good character the sentence would be comparatively light, namely, eighteen months' imprisonment with hard labour, LAECEjNY BY A BAILEE. James Brcahhaw, 40, was arraigned upon an indictment charging him with selling a mare, the property of John Hamilton, of whom prisoner had hired the said mare, on the 20th April last. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and expressed his regret for what he had done under the influence of drink.. His Honor remarked that as no conviction appeared against the prisoner previously the sentence of the Court upon him would be twelve months'imprisonment with hard labor. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Edward Thornton was arraigned upon an indictment charging him with making an attempt upon his life on the Gth October. Mr Brookneld appeared for the prosecu tion, and Mr Beveridge for the defence. The prisoner pleaded guilty, but had no reollection. Mr Beveridge stated that the prisoner was the landlord of the Eoyal George Hotel, Newmarket, and soon aftar he took the hotel he fell into intemperate habits. Prisoner waa very sorry, and was now a Good Templar, and he, the learned counsel, held in his hand a certificate of good character, signed by all the residents of New , market. His Honor made some excellent remarks on the evil arising from the crime of drunk enness, and sentenced prisoner to six months imprisonment. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Eliza Jane Nelson, a young; woman from the Thames, who stood charged with attempted suicide, waa brought up and dis charged. His Honor, in dismissing this case, re marked that it was pitiable to soe a youn<* woman in prisoner's position, who might be getting a respectable livelihood, in such a position. There was no doubt but that she had acted in a most reckloss and rash man ner, and her conduct would be enquired fur ther into. LAKCEXy. Denis Daley, described as a clerk, aged twenty-five, recently arrived by the Hydaspes, was arraigned upon an indictment charging him with stealing and disposing of a port manteau and certain properties therein in December last, the property of Joseph Morton. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to imprisonment for eighteen calendar months.
