TUESDAY. The court was re-opened at 10 o'clock. Harriet Harneyman was indicted for stealing a quantity of copper coin, the property of Joseph Jones, grocer, and hop dealer, Wrexhwn, in whose service she had lived. Mr. Foulkes stated the particulars of the case for the prosecution. Richard Lowe deposed that he was an apprentice to Mr. J. Jones; knew the prisoner, she was in the same employ up to the 6th Nov. last: had been there about 6 months when she left about 10 o'clock at night quite unexpectedly. Mr. Joseph Jones, the prosecutor, sworn, said he was a grocer and hop merchant, in Wrexham. On the night of the Gth"Nov., he ordered the prisoner to take two parcels of copper to his bedroom one paper for 5s. and one for 4N. 6d., they were there on the Sa- turday morning. Did not miss them till they were found at Vicarage Hill, where the prisoner had left her box. She ran away leaving a candle burning upon the bed. Had suspicion that she had done something wrong from her manner of leaving. The police were informed anl upon searching, found the paper parcels of copper coin. She had not made any previous de- mand for wages there was no dispute about wages, and she had no authority to remove the copper. Cross-examined by Mr. Edwards—Gave the money into the hands of the prisoner to take up stairs to his room; saw the money there the next morning; changed his servants very frequently; good servants were bad to get; reprimanded the prisoner fre- quently and had very good reasons for doing so; Oe returned to the yard on the Saturday night when the police were looking for her; she had given no warning that he was aware of; does not know whether there was anything due to her; cannot swear whether there was or was not; will not swear there was nothing due to her his wife paid the female servants. Edward Griffiths, inspector of police, at Wrexham, deposed to going in search of the prisoner on the Cth Nov., to a house in Vicarage Hill; found the two papers of copper now produced. She was there, but he did uot apprehend her then. She escaped by the back door. Saw her again in the evening of the fol- lowing day. She was brought by another policeman. Told her she was charged with stealing the two papers of copper from her master's bed room. She stated that she had taken the copper for her wages as there was more than that sum due to her. Richard Lowe proved that the papers of copper money belonged to his master. Mr. Edwards addressed the jury for the prisoner. He admitted that the money belonged to her master. It was evident that she had been so severely reproved by him and that she was so afraid of him that although there were some wages due to her she was unwilling to ask him for the money. She was a poor illiterate woman and believing that she was entitled to more than what she took, did not think there was any harm in taking it. He acknowledged she had acted very imprudently with no dishonest intentions. Verdict, Guilty, but recommended to mercy on ac- account of her having committed the act through ig- norance.

Cross-examined by Mr. Foulkes-Did not know where his son was the Sunday night before witness did not go to chapel himself; was home at the time. Mr. Foulkes addressed the jury, contending that the attempt to prove from an alibi was a complete failure. A sister of the prisoner appeared, and said she wished to say something for the prisoner. The Chairman said they were willing to give him ^he said Ter name was Sarah Williams, and gave a rambling statement as to what she had been told, but was ordered to leave the box, as she knew nothing of the case, but what had been told her. The Chairman summed up. Verdict, Guilty.. Sentence, seven years' transpor a ion. Samuel Evans was charged with stealing a scythe, the property of John Davies, of Sut on Tieen. Mr. Foulkes conducted the case for the prosecution, and called Mr. John Davies, the prosecutor, who deposed that he was a farmer at Sutton Green. Missed a scythe on the 9th of August last, from a part of his farm buildings. „ John Thomas, police constable, nding the scythe in the possession of Mr. Roberts son at Heaton he took the person on the 20tb of November, and told him upon what charge; prisoner said he had never seen the scythe, and had never been at Sutton Mr.'William Roberts sworn—Deposed to finding the scythe in the stable, at the back of the bui pg, in- quired whose it was, but could gain no information; he locked it up. Joseph Pickford said he was in the employ of Wm. Roberts, of Heaton, at the time, and had been working with the prisoner in the harvest; recollects the pri- soner going with witness to Bangor, on the 7th of August; started there about seven o'clock; went to Mr. Davies, of Sutton Green, and prisoner went with him; was courting the servant; went into the house, and prisoner went into the bing; stayed till four or five o'clock in the morning; went to see for the pri- soner he was gone; saw the scythe in the stable after his master, Mr. Roberts, had seen it; saw the prisoner, when he got home, lying in the bin at Mr. Roberts'; prisoner left on the Monday, saying he was going to the election at Wrexham. 'William Prince, also in the employ of William Ro- berts, of Heaton-Recollects the prisoner coming there to work he said he had bought the scythe upon his- master's premises; told him he was very silly to bring such an old thing there; he said if he had known as much as he did then he would not have bought it for ten pounds: the prisoner identified the scythe as his property, having made the handle. Verdict, Guilty. Sentence, six weeks's imprisonment and hard labour. p John Roberts and Enoch Roberts were charged, one with stealing, and the other with receiving, a quantity of silver coin, the property of David Thomas. Mr. Bevan conducted the case for the prosecution, and called the prosecutor, David Thomas, who deposed that he was a labourer living at Fron Isaf, in the parish of Llanfawr. Slept in the same room, with the prisoner, on the 10th of December last. Master called him up about six in the morning. Missed some money before I put my clothes on; in a quarter of an hour after prisoner got up his purse, and all his money 16s. being taken. The money was in his pocket when he went to bed. The door was barred inside. Cross-examined by Mr. Foulkes, but without shak- ing his testimony. Edward Jones, police constable, deposed—On the 27th of December apprehended Enoch Roberts; took him to Fron Isaf; John Roberts was there, and he told Enoch that he had been encouraged by him to search the pockets of David Thomas for money; John Ro- berts said he did take the money out of the prosecutor s pockets; Enoch Roberts denied that he had done so John said he did, and gave him the piece of money John said he was very sorry, and should be willing to pay the money out of his wages received no money from either of the former; they were afterwards exr amined before the magistrates, what they said was taken down in writing. (The depositions were here read :—Enock Roberts said he had half the money, three half-crown and sixpence, and the purse: asked him where the purse was he said he could get it, but he had not got it theii.) This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Foulkes, Erriviat, addressed the jury for the prisoner John Roberts. It was impossible to deny that he had taken the money at the instigation of the Enoch. He had expressed his contrition very sin- cerely, he contended that the prisoner had acted entirely through the instigation of Enoch Roberts; he should call several witnesses who would give him an excellent character, and he hoped he would be entitled to their merciful consideration. Several witnesses were called who gave the prisoner John Roberts a good character. One witness was also called to the character of Enoch Roberts, but his testimony was not beneficial to the latter prisoner. Verdict in both cases Guilty. Sentence-Two months' hard labour and twice whipped. Patrick Keegun was indicted for obtaining money under false pretences. Mr. Foulkes stated the case for the prosecution. The prisoner was charged with stealing a letter con- taining a Post-office Order, the property of John Connelly. He called John Connelly said he was a hawker, now living at Liverpool his father's name was Patrick he lived in the county of Monaghan, Ireland. Mr. Bevan stated that he had an objection to make to the indictment. It was laid that the money was the property of John Connelly, it ought to have been the property of the Postmaster-General; or previous to the receipt of the letter, the property of the person who sent it. He cited some cases in proof of his objection. The property had never been in the pos- session of John Connelly; he had not received it. The indictment ought to have made out the money as the property of Patrick Connolly. Mr. Foulkes contended that Mr. Bevan's objection was not good inasmuch as the order had gone from Patrick Connelly and was out of his control. The letter bad- been sent by the order of John Connelly, and was consequently in constructive possession. Supposing his father had owed him one sovereign, and the son had desired him to send the order, and he had don' o, that would be payment; and he could not come upon his father again for the sum. This was not a case of master and servant, and therefore very different from the case cited by Mr. Bevan. After some discussion the bench decided that the case should proceed. John Connelly proceeded with his evidence. He was in Wrexham in November last; came on Monday and remained till Friday lodged at the prisoner's; was in expectation of a remittance from his father; while there, did not receive any told the prisoner he expected a letter from his father, but said nothing about the contents; left Wrexham on Friday, 19th November. Thomas Simpson, police-officer, sworn; produced the letter he got it from prisoner's wife. The letter was put in evidence by Mr. Foulkes, and handed to the witness, John Connelly did not know the writing; the post mark was Castle Blany, two miles from where his father lived. Did not receive any post-office order in November never authorised the prisoner to receive one for him. Owing to information received from his father, went to Wrexham again in December last; saw the prisoner and his wife; asked them for his letter; prisoner said a letter did come but it was returned said nothing about the contents at that time his wife denied at first all knowledge of the letter or it" contents. Left, and went a second time, when prisoner said a letter had come and was returned on the following morning. Gave information to the police and went with Simpson, police constable, to the prisoner; the policeman told him the charge he offered the money and the letter if he would not take him into custody. Mr. Bevan examined this witness. Mr. Richard Hughes, post-master, Wrexham, pro- duced an original letter of advice from the Castle post- office, dated 20th Nov. 1847, for the payment of one pound to John Connelly. Upon that authority he cashed the order also, produced the post-office order, dated the same. This was signed by the mark of John Connelly as recipient. The order was presented by a person who represented himself as John Connelly; believes the prisoner is the man, but could not swear it. The prisoner made his mark as John Connelly, and witness cashed the order. Cross-examined by Mr. Bevan—had seen the pri- soner frequently. Police officer Simpson recalled, apprehended the prisoner on the 23rd December last, at the house of his son in law told him it was for stealing a letter con- taining a post-office order for one pound, the property of John Connelly, and receiving the money in Con- nelly's name. He said, for God's sake don't take me to bridewell; if you will come to my house I will give you the letter and the money his wife said if he would let the old man go she would give the letter and the money which she had at home; said, I could do no ,.Puch thing; she then said she would take the money and the letter to Mr. Lloyd, the magistrate. Cross-examined by Mr. Bevan-Did not charge the prisoner with breaking the letter open; said nothing about that charged him with stealing the letter he received one pound it was offered, and he thought it was his duty to receive it. Edward Griffiths, police inspector, Wrexham, was present when the prisoner was examined before the magistrates. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Bevan addressed the jury for the prisoner, and again contended that his objection to the indictment was valid. Prisoner called Mr. John Roberts, coroner, Ruthin several others gave the prisoner a good character. Verdict, Guilty. Sentence, three months' hard labour. Sarah Jones was charged with stealing cotton print, the property of Edward Jones. Mr. Foulkes conducted the prosecution, Edward Jones, the prosecutor sworn, deposed that he is a draper, in the town of Llanrwst. On Tuesday the 2:ird November, recollects the prisoner coming to his shop, she purchased a yard of moleskin and no- thing else; two young men, his wife, and a girl were serving. Cross-examined by Mr. Brown—There were a great many in the shop that day it was market day had seen the prisoner before. Henry Johnson, police constable, at Llanrwst, ap- prehended the prisoner in the shop of Mr. David Lloyd, searched her basket; found the piece of print, and the piece of fustian produced. Edward Evans, superintendent of police, Llanrwst, deposed when the prisoner was apprehended witness went to a public-house, called at the George & Dragon. Went up stairs and found a bundle in one of the bed- rooms a shawl and a sort of riding habit. Went to the Lock-up to the prisoner and asked if they belonged to her, she said they did the bundle was opened and the piece of print produced found in it; she said she had got it off a standing in the street. Elizabeth Jones, wife of the prosecutor, corroborated her husband's evidence, and identified the stolen property. Emma Evans sworn, was an assistant in the shop of Mr. Edward Jones, corroborated the evidence as to seeing the prisoner in the shop, but did not sell her any- thing. The prosecutor identified the goods as his property. He had not sold them to the prisoner. J. S. Hughes, clerk to the magistrates, deposed- Was present at the examination of the prisoner and saw her sign the depositions, which were read by the Clerk of the Peace. Mr. Bevan addressed the jury for the prisoner. Her defence was the same she had made when before the magistrates. She deposed that she purchased the goods in Llanrwst, one piece at a standing, and the other at the shop of the prosecutor, and paid one of his assistants for it. Several witnesses were called who gave the prisoner an excellent character. Verdict, Not Guiltn. The prisoner was again arraigned on another indict- ment, charging her with stealing cotton print, the pro- perty of Robert Williams, and with stealing a shawl, the property of David and Ann Lloyd, the same arti- cles described as the property of Robert Roberts and Robert Chadwick. Mr. Foulkes stated the case for the prosecution. It appeared the prisoner was in Mr. Williams' shop on the same day as that named in the other indictment. She inquired for some Jim Crow hats, but could not suit herself. He called Robert Williams, who said he recollected Mr. D. Lloyd coming to his shop on the 23rd November, he brought a ticket with witness' mark; asked if he knew whose it was. Witness said it was his, and his own writing. Went with him to his house went up stairs and saw a piece of print, which he identified as his own. The prisoner came up stairs; witness asked her where she got that print, she gave no answer. Said it was my print; she said she had it from a little boy in my shop. Asked her how many yards it was; she did not make any reply. Said it was my print; she said she had plenty of money and would pay for it. Refused payment, and sent for a policeman she was then taken unto custody. Recollects seeing her in his shop on the 23rd of November, as stated by the learned Counsel on his opening; there was nothing sold to her. Cross-examined by Mr. Bevan:—There were then no assistants in the shop she said she bought it from my apprentice. David Pearce served in the shop of Mr. Williams; recollected seeing the prisoner on the 23rd November last in his Master's shop; he did not sell her anything. David Lloyd corroborated the evidence of Mr. Williams. Henry Jonson, policeman, produced the piece of print; he had it from the shop of David Lloyd. The prisoner was present, and he took her into custody. David Lloyd recollected, on the 23rd of November, prisoner came to his shop, witness was coming down stairs prisoner was in the shop, she purchased two cotton handkerchiefs: had suspicion, and asked her to allow me to wrap up her goods, the piece of print pro- duced was in her bundle looked at the mark and asked her to allow him to take it up stairs; took the ticket off; went to Mr. Williams' shop, and he said it was his mark; he came to my shop and identified the print. Mr. Bevan, for the prisoner, said he addressed the jury under very great disadvantage, because there were no depositions, and the prisoner had no means of pro- ducing witnesses to disprove the charge.

Xiccal Petty Sessions. BANGOR POLICE COURT, JANUARY 7.—Before the Rev. Hugh Price.-Ellis Williams was charged with stealing four shillings and the key of a carpet bag the property of Mr. Jacob Jones, of Holywell. It appeared that they had both been sleeping in the same room, and before going to bed, Mr. Jones put his waistcoat, bontaining twenty pounds, under his pillow, and counted his silver which amounted to 7s. ürl. and put it in the same pocket of his trowsers in which the key was. When he awoke in the morning, he dis- covered that the prisoner had gone, and that the four shillings and the key had been taken from his pocket. Information was given to the police, who apprehended the prisoner in the railway yard at Garth, and found 3s. 9d. and an ounce of tobacco in his possession. He stated he had taken the money, and would shew where he had hidden the key. He was ordered to be kept in custody until the following day, when bail was accep- ted for his appearance at the next Quarter Sessions to take his trial. On Saturday, the 8th, before the same magistrate, William Davies was charged with stealing a spade, the property of Richard Roberts, who stated that about three weeks ago his spade was stolen from the top of a waggon, on which he had placed it, and that he had traced it to the possession of the prisoner. Davies, however, produced a witness who proved that the one in question had been honestly come by, consequently he was discharged. HOLYWELL JUSTICE ROOM.—On Tuesday week, before the Rev. Rowland Williams, and Dr. Richard- r,on.-Ishm,tel Jones, of the parish of W hitford, miner, appeared to answer the complaint of William Meredith, game-keeper, for having been found on the land of the Hon. Edward Mostyn Lloyd Mostyn, in pursuit of game with a gun, on the night of the 29th day of December last, in the parish of Whitford. It appeared the defendant gave his gun up to the keeper at the time.—He was committed to Flint Gaol for fourteen days. Job Jones, of Greenfield, brick-layer, appeared to answer the complaint of Edward Turner, for having assaulted him. The defendant was ordered to pay 20.. which he did forthwith. John Davies, of Brynford street, Ilolywell, appeared to answer the complaint of Mr. John Lloyd, merchant, for having been found upon his premises on the night of the 27th of December last, for an unlawful purpose. It appeared that Mr. Lloyd had frequently lost quan- tities of bacon and other goods from his premises lately, so a watch was set and the prisoner was caught before he had the opportunity to remove anything, and Cowp- land, the constable, was sent for. The prisoner gave one fictitious name to Mr. Lloyd, and another to Cowp- land however, that officer knew his right name, and allowed him to go home. The prisoner made a very lame excuse, and was committed to Flint Gaol for four- teen days hard labour. Bartholomew Keilty, a tinker, appeared to answer the complaint of Mr. Thomas Hughes, of the Spread Eagles Inn, for having wilfully broken a square of glass, of the value of Is. 2d. The defendant was or- dered to pay the damage and costs, which amounted to 11. and in defeult was committed to Flint Gaol for one month. He was conveyed to gaol the same day, and after remaining there for three days his friends paid-tbe expenses, amounting all together to ll. 2d.; he was then liberated, and declares that he will take care not to get into Flint Gaol again. John Williams, the driver of the night mail car, in the employ of Mr. Marsden, of the White Horse Inn, and Anthony Stephenson, of Pen y bryn, two champ- ion boxers, were next charged by Wm. Cowpland, the constable, with having been found fighting in High- street, without their shirts, on the night of Saturday, the 1st day of January instant. Williams in his de- fence said that they were both drinking together in the Boar's Head, which is kept by John Thomas, and when there Stephenson challenged him to fight, and that he refused until the landlord's son called him a coward, and offered to back him. The consequence was that they each went into the street. Mr. William Bill, a solicitor for the Rever Bank Brewery, was second for AVilliams» and Price, a chaise-driver at the White Horse, seconded Stephenson. It appeared Stephenson was the best man, but the constable came rather too soon. They were each ordered to find bail, themselves in 101., and two sureties in 51. each, for twelve months, which they did, and paid lIs. costs. They were then discharged with a reprimand. John Roberts, the keeper of the Holloway toll bar, was fined 58. and costs, Is. for being drunk and disor- derly in the town of Holywell, on the 31st day of Dec. last. Thomas Roberts, of Chester road, sawyer, was also fined in the like sum and costs, for being drunk and disorderly on the 1st day of Jan. inst.

SIR,—Inasmuch as I P. Dissenter' has abandoned his ground of accusation against a former letter of mine on the score of a supposed miscalculation, of which I have in my last proved myself guiltless, there is nothing further in his remarks that I am particularly called upon to answer. Still there would be no harm in shewing P.Dissen- ter,' to be as short-sighted a logician in his last letter as he shewed himself to be in his first. His declamatory invective against the church in his last letter is a mere question of facts and the public will judge for themselves whether his statements are true or false. My business at present is not to con- trovert those statements, (a very easy matter though it be) but merely to point out to your argumentive readers how they bear upon P.Dissenter's' line of argument, granting them to be true. I have argued, from public data, that the present state of Wales is attributable to Dissenters rather than to Churchmen in the proportion of 13 to I, on the Dissenters' own shewing, upon the supposition, as I said, that the personal influence of Churchmen and Dissenters is equal. Now, mark P. Dissenter de- scribes the Church, and the Clergy, (for they must go together, on the principle of I like master like man') in such unfavourable colours as serve to shew that the Dissenters have much more personal influence than Churchmen have because, if his statements be true, it is quite impossible for such a selfish, good-for- nothing, immoral set of men as the Clergy and Church- men are, to have half the moral weight and influence that Dissenters have, who are such nice good Christ- ians; in other words, 'P. Dissenter's' letter goes to shew that the personal moral influence of the Dissenters is about double the personal moral influence of Church- men. Now, Mr. Editor, observe the logical consequence of all this it is as follows :-If the personal influence of Dissenters is double the personal influence of Church- men, the Dissenters rather than the Church are an- swerable for the present degraded state of the country, no longer in the proportion of thirteen to one, but in the doubled proportion of tnetity-six to one,! For the Dissenting Report says there are thirteen Dissenters for one Churchman; and again P. Dissenter" tries to shew that every one of those Dissenters are as good, as weighty, and as influential, as two Churchmen therefore, the result is the same as if there were twenty- six Dissenters in Wales for one Churchman and of course the moral influence is in the same numerical proportion, and the Dissenters, according to Mr. Pro- testant Dissenter's own argumentation, are more to blame than the Church twenty-six times! My only object in this letter, Sir, is to shew to what extravagant adsurdities people allow themselves to be carried by over-statements, and to point out how Mr. P. Dissenter" loose, and declamatory way of arguing recoils upon his own head. Hoping Mr. P. Dissenter" will write again, (as there is nothing in the world so pleasant as to answe- him and expose his arguments). I remain, sir, yours obediently, SENEX.
