NARRATIVE OF LAW AND CRIME.

AT the Dover Quarter-Sessions, on the 25th of June,
William Bennett Sothers, alias the Honourable William
O'Brien Fitzgerald, was tried for obtaining various
sums of money to the extent of £870 from a gentleman
named Payn, a solicitor at Dover, under Fraudulent
Pretences. The case excited very great interest. The
prisoner had the appearance of a foreigner. His wife
claimed the title of Lady Emily Fitzgerald, and
represented that she was the widow of Count Eltz; that her
mother was related to the ninth Duke of Norfolk; that
her name was Lady Ann Isabella Howard; and that
her father was General William O'Brien Fitzgerald, of
the Guards. It was proved at the trial that the prisoner
was formerly a member of the Stock Exchange. Some
four or five years ago, Mr. Payn the prosecutor was
residing with his children at Eyethorne, and while there
he became acquainted with the prisoner and his wife.
In the course of last August he received a letter from
them, stating that both were confined in a prison at
Pau, in the South of France, at the base of the Pyrenees;
that they had fallen into an awful predicament,
from the negligence of their agent, who had failed to
remit them £3000; that they had the misfortune to lose
1800 francs on their journey; and that about £400 would
set them right. Mr. Payn proceeded to the Continent,
and found them prisoners, as they had described, in the
prison of Pau. They stated that "Lady Emily" was
the daughter of Lieutenant-General Sir William O'Brien
Fitzgerald, formerly of the Guards, &c., and that they
were known to the Earl of Carlisle and the Duke of
Sutherland. The Sutherland children, she said, visited
at her mother's; but, in consequence of her marriage
not being sanctioned by her parents, the friendly
intercourse with the Sutherland family had fallen off.
"Lady Emily" added, that her husband's mother was
the Princess Castaglioni. They had been confined in
prison more than twelve months, having been denounced
as swindlers. Finding they were suffering great misery,
Mr. Payn paid £450 for their debts, and £240 as security
to the Court of Appeal for their appearance when
required. He pleaded for them at the Court of Appeal
and obtained their liberty. He then brought them to
Dover, supported them, and ultimately lent them £40
to go to the North of England, to see some relations, who
would repay him. They went away, and nothing more
was heard about them. Their representations about
being connected with high families, and their agent,
were discovered to be untrue; and in the course of some
seven or eight months they were apprehended at
Barnard Castle, near Durham. In the prisoner's box was
a letter, dated July 1850, from the Earl Powis to "Lady
Emily,'' which had contained £100 sent to their relief.
The Earl of Carlisle gave evidence that his family were
unacquainted with the prisoner or his wife, and that
their representation of being related to the Norfolk
family was perfectly false. The jury found the prisoner
guilty, and he was sentenced to transportation for seven
years.

In the Court of Queen's Bench, the 29th June, a
person named Sill, a solicitor, was tried on two indictments,
one for Felony, the other for Misdemeanour. It
was alleged that Sill had extorted bills of exchange from
the brothers Broome, to stop the prosecution against
them for the "card-cheating case" at Brighton. An
application was now made on behalf of the prosecution
to postpone the trial, on the ground that it had been
understood that the trial was indefinitely postponed by
