Southwark Sessions.
Yesterday the Southwark QuarrSessions were beld at the Town-halL Mr. ALAknn sat for the Recorder, who is stiU too mnuch indisposed to attend to busiesa. It ma net bc amDiss to state, that the very general report of the death of the Recorder has been the source of great annoyance to that gentlemar ; for, perhaps, his knocker has never been so frequently assailed as by friends anxiour to condole with his family upon his lamented deoease, and to.know whetberhe"wentoffireily.'? Even at.the hour ofhblf-qast 11 atnight, the kindest inquiries were made,andthe warmest joy expressed atthe result of thbse inquiries... The Alagistrates on the bencb were AAl- dernmen J. J.

Pledge said she was merely looking at the ribanid, and, that she let it faU in a- fright, as the shopman presented a pistol at her, and threatened to shoot her. The shopman admitted that he had presented a pistol, but he said it was witbout a lock or, charge, and that he used it to. prevent the escape of the prisoner. A female stood forward to give the prisoners excelent characters- they were virtuous, honest, and proper. Mr. AHAmrx.-" Don't you know that Pledge has already been under-restraint?" Witness.-" Oh yes, I have heard so." Mr. ARtAnIN.-" Then you conceal at least half the_r tb." The two prisoners were found luilty. Alr.
