Patriek Sheehan, the particulars of whose case were mentioned in our paper of llonday last, wans brouglit up to receive the sentehce of the ourt. The C5aristrAx said, that he had, since the trial, caused inquiry to be-made respecting the robbe;ies alleged to have been committed by the prisoner's son, and the result had proved the correctness of the statetnent made by the prisoner.,Still, however, no robbery. nor any other crime the boy might have committed,could justitfv the dreadful punishment that the prisoner hiad inflicted on him. The motives of the prisoner in correcting the lad might be good, and so far had its weight with the CWurt, as. to,;lcgsen the punishiment the prisolor would receivc. But for the result of thc inquiry since made by t'e Court, the prisoner would have received the utmost punishment thc law allowed. Under all the circumstances of the case, the sentence of the Court wsas, that he be confined six months in the llouse of Correction, and tobe kept to hardlahour. Patrickc John.son wag convicted of stealing several pewter pots fromdifferent publicans, and sentenced to undergo the same pu- n;shment. William Forsyth, convicted of an assault of an indecent nature on a boy named. Thomas Woollett, received the like sentence! .- IDDLESEX SESSIONS. TUESDAY. DsCI 7.
