CITY SESSIONS.
Richard Malben, 44 charged with stealing a bracelet and clasp of considerable value, property of the Rev. Chancellor Martin. It appeared that in February last, Lady Charlotte Martin, lost a valuable bracelet, at which time the prisoner was in the service of the Rev. Chancellor. Every search was made for it in vain. In the early part of this month, a female named Maria Chapman, offered the clasp for sale at Mr. Al Harts, on Fore Street Hill, whose son, Halick Levi, being present and entertaining some suspicions, under pretence of ascertaining its value procured an officer and secured the girl, on whose person the bracelet was also found. On being questioned she stated that she had received it from Richard Malben, who had requested her to dispose of it. On the trial Charlotte Chapman appeared as an evidence against the prisoner. On her cross examination, she stated that her mother washed for the Chancellor's family, and had worked in the house but not since February last. The Rev. Chancellor stated his belief from the workmanship, &c. that the bracelet was the one lost by Lady Charlotte, but could not swear to its identity. Mr. Pridham, surgeon, proved the inability of Lady Charlotte to attend the trial. Mr. Praed, who was counsel for the prisoner, contended that there was a want of identity. J.H. Seale, esq. gave the prisoner a good character, after a service of many years. On this evidence the case was left to the Jury who not agreeing were locked up and did not return their verdict till Wednesday morning 11 o'clock, and then acquitted the prisoner.

The trial of Richard Malben, at our City Sessions, charged with stealing a bracelet of great value, the property of Lady Charlotte Martin, will be read with much interest. We understand that on Wednesday, after his discharge, Malben called at the house of Taylor, the Police Officer, and modestly demanded the bracelet, as he said the Chanceloor had failed in proving it to be his property!!! The fellow has since had the assurance to make an application to the committing Magistrate for the same purpose.
