^ SURREY SESSIONS . The December sessions for the county of Surrey commenced on Monday last at the Court-liouso , Xew ' mgton-causeway , before Thomas Puckle , Esq ., U hair man . Stealing fhoji the Person . —Elizabeth Read , 20 , and Georgiana Read , 33 , were indicted for stealing a shawl and a basket , containing 2 s . Gel ., and other propertyi from the person of Martha Jackson . Prosecutvix , a decent-looking female , stated that on the 4 th of last month , between one and two in the afternoon , she met the prisoners in the Westminster-road , and believing from their appearance that they required some refreshments , she offered them some , and proceeded with them to the Green Dragon public house , in the Belvidere-road . They
all entered the parlour , where she treated them with gin and ale . All at onco she bucamc insensible , and on her recovering she missed the property mentioned in the indictment . The prisoners had also decamped from the house . Siie was quite sober when she entered the house , and could not account for her becoming insensible . James Chapman , landlord of the Green Dragon , said that OB the afternoon in question when he arrived home his wife told him thac three females had entered the parlour and been served with three pints of ale and two quarterns of gin , and that she suspected something was wrong . Witness then weut into that room and saw the prosecutrix lying down ill . The prisoners said prosecutrix lived at 2 fo . 3 ,
Edward-street , and they would go and fetch her husband if witness allowed her to remain for a few minutes . They accordingly quitted the house , but he watched them out , and perceiving that they did not enter Edward-street his further suspicions were aroused , when he followed them on board a steam-boat . They seated themselves as comfortable as possible in the foro part of the boat , when the elder prisoner took some papers out of the basket And tore them up . A bottle , containing some gill , was also taken from the basket , which , they drained with great enjoyment . The elder prisoner had the basket , and the other had the shawl on her
shoulders . AVitness being satisfied that they had robbed the other female called the attention of tbe captain of-the vessel to the circumstance , when he put the boat back , and the prisoners ! were given into custody of a City police-constable . The latter stated that the elder female said the basket belonged to her , but the younger one cried and said nothing . The jury found them Guilty , and the chairman sentenced each to six months' hard labour at Brixton . He also ordered that the prosecutrix should not be paid her expenses , as her conduct was disgraceful in entering a , public-house and drinking ale and gin with strangers .
P 0 CM . T FlCKiso . —Amelia Sullivan , a prostitute , was indicted for stealing a purse containing £ 11 in gold from the person of William Craven . The jury found her Guilty , and the Court sentenced her to six months' hard labour . John Groves was indicted for stealing a cloak , the property of Richard Ogle , Esq ., barrister-atlavr , residing at Battersea . Mr . Ogle said the cloak was stolen out of his coach-house , which was left there while some men were carting turf , and the prisoner was met near the spot by a policeman , with it in his possession . Xofc giving a satisfactory account of it he was taken into custody , and soon afterwards the cloak was missed , Mr , O » le said he had the clo * k more t / ian forty years ,
and it had been a faithful old servant . In defence the prisoner said he picked up the cloak in the road . The Jury found him Guilty . —The Chairman toLl him that he was not going to pass a long sentence on him , but one of such severity as would be a caution to him for tho future . The new regulations at the Wandsworth prison were quite different to the old prison . ? , and he thought it advisable to mention it in the court . Prisoners committed for hard labour bad that to perform , but quite akne , which made it somethiftg like solitary connnement , and more severe than at Brixton House of Covrectien . Having made these observations he should commit the prisoner to Wandsworth prison for two months , with hard labour ,

Tria& fob Murdbk and Conviction oj thb MunDER » a .-On Saturday last , WiUwm Smith , alias Glenister , 20 , was indicted for the wilful murder of Mary Elizabeth Reynolds . —Mr . Bodkin and Mr . Clerk conducted the prosecution . The prisoner would have been without the assistance of counsel , but the sheriffs , upon becoming acquainted with the fact that he was not in a condition to obtain such assistance , very kindly requested Mr . Cooper to watch the case on his behalf . —Elizabeth Reynolds deposed that she had cohabited with the prisoner for about three months before the death of the child in question . They lived at No . 6 , Douglas-street , Westminster . About eight o ' clock on the evening of
the 23 rd of October , witness went out , leaving the infant in tho prisoner ' s room asleep . It was witness ' s child by another man . She met with a friend of the prisoner ' s and they drank together , and she became intoxicated , and was locked up in the sta » turn-house , and was taken the next morning before a magistrate , who discharged her . When she went home she found her child covered with bruises and quite dead ; and , from what the persons in the house told her , she went to the Equicable Gasworks , where the prisoner was emnloyed , and Upon seeing him she exclaimed to him ' that ho had murdered her child . The prisoner replied , " You
should hate been at home . I have murdered it . What to do I don't know . I had better b well ga aad drown myself . " A policeman was sent for , and the prisoner was given into custody . ( A child ' s and a man ' s shirt , both saturated with blood , were here produced and identified by the witness as being those of her child and the prisoner . )—In answer to a question put by Mr ^ Codper , the witness said that the prisoner sometimes iupeared to be fond of the child . —Caroline Lund , a j | agpr in the same houst , and occupying a room adjoining that of the prisoner , proved that on Ikywgbt of ttfft 23 rd of October , the prisoned oamanjome bdt | e | n seven and eizht o ' clockand VbA nis maniter B » e had na
, doubt that he was very ^ Runk . AsQheywas going up stairs he called out ''All right" thVe times , and be then went into hisy , ' room , and ' very soon afterwards she heard the chitd cry as though it was being slapped or beaten . The prisoner then exclaimed , " You little wretch , if you arc not quiet I will kill you , " and she then heard the child cry again . Immediately after this witness heard the sound of a thump or fall upon the itoor , and then the child cried still more yioientlyi The prisoner made use ot ' very bad language to the child , and said that if any one interfered he would * serve them the same , and she also heard him fay , " My life is a misery , 1 am miserable ; I know I shall be hung , and I may as well be hung out of the way . " After this there
was another sound , as though the child was thrown down again , and it screamed violently . Nobody but the prisoner wa ? 5 n the room at the lime . Other witnesses having confirmed the above testimony , Mr . Cooper addressed the fury for the prisoner , and endeavoured , with hia usual ability , to induce them to come to a conclusion that they might charitably eay by their verdict that the prisoner wag in such a condition of mind at the time he comraitteclthe act that he hardly knew the consequences of wnat he was doing , and upon that ground they might acquit him of the dreadful Sifme ot murder and convict him of manslaughter onlyv—Mr . Justice Maule having summed up , theViry , after deliberating for about a quarter of an how * found tho prisoner Guilty of
murder , but they at the same time strongly recommended him to mercy on the ground that he was at the time in a sta& ' of intoxication , and that if the woman Reynolds had been at home on the night in question the occurrence would not have taken place . —His Lordship put on the black cap , and , addressing tbe prisoner , said that he had been convicted upon the clearest possible evidence of a murder of the most aggravated and brutal character , committed upon the person of a poor child , who could not possibly have given him any provocation . It appeared that he was intoxicated at the time , and this was another instance of the melancholy consequences Vlwt resulted from the fatal vice of drunkenness . The
jury had recommended him to mercy , and that recommendation would be forwarded to the proper quarter , but he exhorted him not to place any reliance upon the effect of that recommendation being favourable to him , but to prepare , by a sincere repentance , for the fate which in all probability shortly awaited him . The learned judge then passed sentence of death in the usual form . —The prisoner neither during the trial nor when sentence of death wag pasted betrayed tbe least emotion , and when the learned judge had concluded , he walked out of the dock with an air of the greatest indifference .
This case concluded the business of the session , and U \ e Court was adjourned to Monday , Dec . 14 . The cases of the persons committed for perjury by the judges of the superior courts are postponed to next session .

On Saturday week he absconded from his employment without giving any notice to his master , but in the evening of thesame day a £ 10 note Iseiug migsod from the room at the back of the shop , suspicion fell upon the prisoner , nnd it appeared from inquiries that on the previous day the prisoner had gone to the shop of a customer of the prosecutor , and presenting a J 610 note
asked him to give his master ( Mr . Underwood ) change for the same . That gentleman not having change in the house , sent to a neighbouring publichouse , and obtained five sovereigna and a £ 5 ncto in change , which he handed over . to the prisoner .

It was dated " Sutton Ivor , " November V 6 , and commenced as follows : — " Sir , —i don ' t think that persecution will be of any avail upon me , ( or i don ' t care for the devil himself . Money will be far preferable to punishment , when i say punishment i don ' tthink it is bo , because they g ive you a bellyfull of whittles , and find you a bed of some sort to lay upon , and if suppose as it should
come to a few years stranceportation , it should have the pleasure of seeing a foron country and another thing i got to tell you , when a man is sent out of tha country for robery he ia called a conwict . But he is a man for all , and as much in God ' s eye as the Best man ther ia on thefage of theertb , so remember this . " Ttie prisoner then went on to make out a list of small sums of money which he had pilfered from the prosecutor , giving the total at £ 7 15 a . 2 u \ , and he then said , " This money you will receive by one pounds and two pounds every month , for i am , thank God , able to earn it now .

He then took up his picking roll , an instrument used by weavers , , _ . . .. .- _ .-.. v .. « -,... » .
having a spike at each end , with which he beat her about ^ the head and back , and jumped upon her with both feet as she was lying on the floor . After lying there for some time unable to get up , she managed to get behind the bed to protect herself when ho took off one of { his shoes that had an ivon heel upon it , and threw it at her . She raised her hand to guard her face , when the heel of the shoe struck one of her fingers and laid it open . It bled very much , and she fell to the floor from exhaustion and loss of blood , and she lay there as nearly as she could tell for about two hours . When sho recovered , she found herself in the same place . She recollected him saying that if she lay there foi seven years he would not help
her up , and would take good care that nobody else did . At that time he had a hammer in his hand . Ue ' walked over her several times . She managed to crawl on to the bed , and laid there until the next day . He commenced beating tier on the Wednesday afternoon between two and three o ' clock . She lay on the bed till Thursday morning , when Mrs .

She was afterwards taken to St . Bartholomew's Hospital , of which place she
was at the present time an inmate . She was brought from the hospital to give her evidence .

When she was foiled
m having her revenge , she took up some silk , and attempted to destroy tha work belonging to his employer . —The prisoner ' s statement was confirmed by several witnesses . She had gone away at least twenty-five times witliin four years and a half , and her only provocation was because she did not like her husband . —The jury found tbe prisoner Guilty . —The Chairman said that this was a charge of a very serious nature , and whatever might be urged by the prisoner as to the provocation received it was clear the prosecutrix had received very severe injuries , as she had been in St . Bartholomew ' s Hospital since the 1 st of November , where she was still iin in-patient . The sentence of the Court was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six calendar months .

Ilaving witnessed their movements for some time , he went and took tbe whole party into custody , —The Jury found the prisoners Guilty , —Evidence was then given that the whole of the prisoners were well knowa , that Williams had been tried three times , and Anderson twiceforfelony . —The Chairmansentenced Williams to hard l ; ibour for eighteen months , and the other prisoners for twelve months .
An iNConniGiBLB Thief . —Elizabeth Pink , 36 , pleaded guilty to having stolen a coat , value 30 s ,, the property of John Gooch . —A , police constable of the Worship-street district said she was the greatest thiof he ever knew in his life , and that she had been at least forty times in custody to his knowledge for felony , but bad been discharged in oonsequence of the prosecutors not appearing against her . Her plan of robbery was to waylay persons who were the worse for- liquor , and to
induce them to go down some court or private place with her . Having robbed them , two men who accompanied her in her depredations , one claiming to be her husband , and the otht * a friend of his , made their appearance , and threatening vengeance upon the party for having insulted an honest man ' s wife , in most instances they were but too glad to make their escape , and thus the prisoner had for a aeries of years been enabled to carry on her plunder with impunity . The Chairman sentenced her to hard lahnni' fnv twelve calendar months .
Pocket PrcKiso . —Margaret Myers , 20 , stated to be a married woman , was indicted for haying stolen a purse and seven sovereigns and other monies , the property and monies of Aaron Edmonds , from hia person . —The prosecutor said that he resided at Aldous terrace , Islington , and" between eleven and twelve o ' clock on the night of Saturday week , the 22 nd of November , he saw tho prisoner at the corner of Bridjre > 8 tvoet , Blackfriars , who spoke to him . He was at that time waiting for an omnibus to go to Islington , and they afterwards walked together to the corner of the Old Bailey . He mentioned that he was going to Islington , and as ho was too late for tho omnibus he said that lie
should take a cab to go home . The prisoner the * remarked that sho lived in King square , in that neighbourhood , upon which he offered her a share of tbe vehicle to go there . They then got into a cab , prisoner taking her seat on . his left side . "When he got into the cab he had his purse in his possession , containing £ 11 in sovereigns and half-sovereigns . They had not proceeded further than Bmithfield , ho believed , when he fell asleep , and did not awake until he had got about two-thirds up St . John-street , aad then finding himself near to his journey ' s end ho put his hand into his pocket and felt for his purse , but found that it was gone . He immediately charged tho prisoner with stealing it , and she expressed her surprise that he should
think that she had robbed him , and being satisfied that she had taken it , he pulled down the window for the purpose of stopping the cab , when the prisoner said , " Here ' s your purse , " and handed it to him , but it was much lighter than when last in his pocket . He told her that was his purse , but that it was deficient of the money it had contained . The prisoner said she had not taken it , and knew nothina about it . Witness got out of his cab , followed by tho prisoner , and while he was paying the cabman his fare the prisoner tried to make her escape , but a policeman coming up , he gave her into custody . He went with her to the station-bouse , where £ 0 10 s . in gold was taken from her hand . —The jury found the prisoner Guilty , —The depnty Judge ' sentenoed her to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six months .

JIARLBOROUG fl-STREET . — A Faithless SwAiNl—Aelrille Cassignac , a youDg Frenchman , wms brought up before Mr . Binghain , charged with having robbed Sarah SackviHe , a well-looking young woman , of her box of clothes , three £ 5 notes , and other property . —The complainant said she was a single woman , living at No . . 17 , Great May s-builtlings , St . Martin ' s-lane . Complainant and prisoner were recently fellow-servants in the establishment of Mr . Senlin , of Windsor . On Saturday , the 22 od of November , the prisoner , on hearing that she was about to leave her situation , proposed to leave also , on condition that she would marry him . Complainant consented to the proposal , and she left with the
prisoner , who took her to a house in Windsor ; and , on the faith of his promise to marry her , she consented to admit him to the privileges of matrimony . The next day they left tVindsor , and came to London . The prieoner took a lodging at an eating-house in Church-street , Soho , and complainant stopped with him three days and nights , the prisoner pretending to be busied about the usual preparations for marriage . Complainant urouglit with her from Windsor , a box containing her clothes , and a pocket-book , which contained three £ 5 bank notes , and in a purse two five-franc pieces , and a passport . On Thursday morning last the prisoner got up and told her lie was going to take a bath , and would be back soon . On the day
before , the prisoner told her he had removed her box to a room which he had taken for them to live in after they were married . The prisoner did not return until " Saturday night , when he brought a wedding-ring , saying he had got into trouble ; and had been obliged to stop away ; but he had taken care of her boxes , and they were quite safe . The prisoner , to quiet her , told her if she came along with him he would show her the box . Seeing a ring on tho prisooer ' s finger , which she knew had been in her box , she became suspicious , and ultimately gave the prisoner into custedy . The prisoner had left her quite destitute , for , in addition to lier box , he had taken £$ l ( k , from her pocket when they were at Windsor . After the prisoner
was in custody she found that her box had been pillaged , and that her clothes , worth £ 10 or £ 12 , had been nearly all pawned . Augustus Grufliuelki hatter , No . 34 , Lisle-street , said the prisoner bought a hat from him about four or five mouths ago . On Tuesday last he called upon him and asked permission to leave a box for a . few hours . The prisoner left the box , but did not return for it . On Saturday a police-constable came , and witness delivered the box to him . —Police-constable Hardy , 0123 , said the prisoner was eiven into his . custody last Saturday night for stealing a box and its contents . . Witness took the prisoner to the stationhouse and searched him . In the pooket of the
prisoner £ 11 lOs . in gold and some silver were found . From a statement made by the prisoner witness went to No . 47 , Gerrard-street , aud there found a carpet-bag . Ia the carpet-bag were two duplicates relating to property pawned by the prisoner , and stolen from the proseeutrix . —A quantily of wearing apparel pawned by the prisoner at Mr . Brown ' s , Ryder ' s-court , was produced and identified . —The prisoner made a lonjf defence ia French , the substance of which was that he took the box and money , and pawned the clothes to buy articles of housekeeping preparatory to his wedding . lie kept out of tbe way for a day ot two because a German had threatened to cut his throat if he married the complainant . —The prisoner was fullowtantUetL , ^ l i
« rriixai 5 br—AU'tutffT 3 mLD * SlURDBR .--SusPicious cash . —William Murphy , 26 , a morose looking man , described as a cooper , residing at 39 , Middle Grove-atreet ,. St . George ' s East , and Alary Ann his wife , also 26 years of age , and of forbidding appearance , were brought before Mr . Fardley charged on suspicion of having caused the death of their two children—Bridget , aged two years and a half , and William , aged twelve months . —Sergeant Kelly stated that from information he received , he , accompanied by Wgley , went on Sunday night to 39 , Middle Grove-street , and in the first floor front room found two children dead in bed , He waited some time until the female prisoner came . The male prisoner camo soon after , and he asked them
if they lived there , and if the children were theirs , to which they replied in the affirmative . He then told them he should take them into custody for causing their ] deaths . They both answered " I did not murder them . " Dr . Tripe had examined the cMldreu , and gave witness a certificate to the effect that Bridget , the eldest , was in an emaciated condition , had evidently been much neglected , and was bruised on the lower part of the left thigh ; the youngeat was in a very good condition , and they had both evidently died suddenly . There was a bed in the room , folded up close . The children looked as if they had been neglected . — Amelia Walsh : stated that sho was a married woman , and resided at 39 , Middle Grove-street .
Last Wednesday week the female prisoner came to her house in search of lodgiogs . Witness asked he * if she had any children ? She said " Yes ; one baby only , " Witness agreed to take them as lodgers , and they began to come on the following day . They came into the house on Saturday night . Witness remarked that the baby was a fine healthy one , in which observation the female prisoner acquiesced . On Monday witness saw a fine-looking girl , five years old , with the female prisoner , and asked whose it was ? The prisoner replied that it was l \ e * a . Vfitness said , " "Xou told me you had only one baby , " to which prisoner said she did not look upon that one as anything , because it wag so quiet . Witness turned to the child , and said ,
" Your mother does not seem to own you , my dear , " On Tuesday the female prisoner came home quite drunk . The baby was in bed , nnd the little girl now dead lay with its head in a round foot basket , and its feet on the bed . Witness took the baby up in her arms , and it was nearly speechless , There were three children altogether , and witness asked the prisoner whether tho third one was hers . After some little pause , she answered it was . Witness said , " No , it can't be yours ; it must belong to ono of your companions . " The prisoner replied , "No ; I am the mother of tbe three . " On taking the children down stairs they appeared quite ravenous . Their father came home tipsy also . "Witness told him fchab the children
were mere skeletons , and must be starved . He answered , " They used to be as fine as any children in Grove-street ; " to which she remarked that they must be very much altered , and told him to go up and put hw wife to bed . Instead of putting her to hed , he struck her , and she screamed out . Witness ran up , and found that he had grasped his wife by the throat . She pacified them , and took the children up . The children began to cry on being taken into the room . Tbe female prisoner told her nothing about the child being ill till Wednesday , when she said that it was cutting its teeth , and that she had heen to Dr . Tripe , who said nothing was the matter with it . Sho brought home a phial of medicine and a powder . There was another female with her . Witness advised her to put them in a warm hnth , but did not know whether she followed that advice .
Witness had given them notice to quit on Tuesday . On Wednesday she begged the female to quit that night , but she said she could not as the baby was ill , but she mentioned nothing of the little girl aridget . They had always a lot of low companions with them . On Friday witness begged them to keep the door shut . They said they could not , as their friends were coming in and out . Witness again told them that she wished them to have , on which the female prisoner said , " You must be an unfeeling woman when my two children are dead . " Witness went into their room and found vrhat she stated to be true . She then asked , «« Why did j-ou not call mo , as they were dying ? " to which the prisoner made no reply . Witness examined tbe child Bridget , and on looking at its leg she found that the blood had set in the right thigh . She asked the male prisoner what it was , and he said it vrns the death-blow . It looked as if the child
had had a severe blow . Tito baby "was ft sick , and ailing child . The prisonerSj who seemed totally unconcerned , and aaked the witnesses no questions , were remanded .

Fohd , Xbv . 2 S . —An awful accident occurred on the Sottth-Coast Railway last night , in conae--quence of the neglect of » n engine-driver to attend to a danger sijjual . The laet train from London leaves London-bridge station at seven o ' clock , and on its arrival at Brighton passengers for Shoreham , Arundel , Chiciiester , and Portsmouth are despatched by a branch train , leaving Brighton at
9 . 50 . A goods train leave Portsmouth at 7 . 30 daily ; this train also started at the accustomed time . These trains arrived at the bridge over the rirerArun about the same time ; and , inasmuch . as the bridge is moveabie , so as to allow of the passage of brigs of considerable tonnage from Littlehampton-harbour up to Arundel , and is consequently of light construction , is a single line , the greatest care is necessary with regard to the signals .
it seems that at 10-15 I . i 9 fe night the up-goods train was first discerned , and consequen fly the " all right" signal was displayed , the '' stop" signal oeing at the same moment given to the down pas-« enger train . The goods train was an unusually . long one , consisting of nearly forty trucks . The engine and tender and the first part of the train crossed the brid ge , and had diverged from the sin-S » ofT « ° tiie T ?

ATROCIOUS MURDER AT TOLLESBURY . A horrid tragedy has been committed at Tollesbury , a considerable fishing village , lying upon tbe marshes of the Blackwater , and close to Tiptreeheath , and the victim ia the wife of an oysterdredgcrman , uamed James Cobb , thirty-three years of age , who was murdered while asleep in her bed , after her husband had left her , early on Tuesday morning . Cobb was employed in the oyater layings , ol which there is a considerable extent in the neighbourhood , and it appears left for his work about six o ' clock in the morning , a lodger haviug previously quitted the house , the wife being at the time awake ; a little girl , seven years old , whom they had adopted , having no children of their own , sleiit iu a crib close to their bed . Other houses
adjoin , buc nothing was heard to create alarm or excite surprise till eight o ' clock , when the little girl awoke , and finding- the woman dead gave an alarm , and admitted tbe neighbours ; the victim was then found lying in the bed , apparently in the position in which she had boen sleeping , with an iDDntation in her skull , several other wounds on her head , and her throat cut , life being extinct . The object of the murderer was clearly plunder , and the presumption is that , having entered by the window , hs proceeded up stairs , struck his victim with a hammer on the head as she lay asleep , and having rendered her insensible , cut nor throat with a razor , thus effecting the murder without awaking the child , who lay slumbering within a few feet , and who , if she had
been disturbed , would probably have been silenced in the same summary manner . The murderer then appears to have ransacked the boxes in that and another room in search of money , but he did not succeed in finding more than 12 s . belonging to tbe lodger , which was taken away , a tea-caddy , containing about the same sum , standing close , to the bed of the murdered woman having escaped his search . Henry Harrington , a young man about twenty years of age , who lodged in a house adjoining has been apprehended . The evidence against him at first appeared exceedingly slight , but facts have since come out that tend strongly to fix him
with the guilt . A hammer belonging to the person a . t whose house lie \ ougeu has been found exactly to fit the indentation in the head of the deceased ; and on Wednesday a labourer , at Salcot , two milea off , found in tbe woolve of a stile , in tbe direction the prisoner went to Wivenlioe , a handkerchief and a ruzor in a case , both bloody , the former of which has been identified as belonging to Ilarrington , and the razor is the property of Wash , with whom ho lodged , and who on going to look for it , found it was gone . It was further found that the prisoner ' s trowsers were marked with spots of blood , and it appeared that he had endeavoured to hide some by putting ink over them .
An inquest was held on the body yesterdaj ( Friday ) , and , after the examination of several witnesses , was adjourned until next Tuesday . —On Friday the prisoner was brought up at the Witham police station , and remanded until Thursday next , after which ho was conveyed back to his cell at the station .
