Surrey Sessions, May 6.
Applicadon was made upon the part of Mr. O'Callaghan, who had been bound over to answer for an assault upon the Rev. james Sau- rin, son of the Bishop of Dromore, to have the trial brougtht on as speedily as possible in the present sessions, upon the ground that the defendant is about to go abroad. The COURT refused the application, in consequence of the ab- sence of thc prosecutor, whose consent would be necessary before the case could be brought on in the uresent session. John Jendrrsout, who was a short time ago committed from Union-hall, for having sent a letter to one of the respectable firm of Barclay and Co., the brewers, threateniing to expose to the public that they were in the habit of importing opium, if thev did not give to him the sumit of 50OL for keeping the secret, was put upon his trial. The public are already well acquainted with the facts as de. tailed in our Police report. The prisoner was immeediatel convicted. MIr. Barclay then -requestel that the Court would extend merev to the prisoner, who, it was ascertained, had a wife and childten in a deplorable state of poverty, and had been formerly in a respectable station in life. The object of the prosecution had already been at- tained by the exposure of the attenipt to extort, and nothing further was sought. ' The prisoner was then sentenced to imprisonment and hard la. bour in Bnixton Hlouse of Correction for l2 calendar months. The prisoner, on quittink the bar, said-" I think that is quite punishmeat enougb." MJTRRFY SR.VN'flrfR_ Alr- A
