PLEA OF GUILTY—SPEECH OF A PRISONER. A young man, of very contest appearance, was brought from prison, and pleaded guilty to an in- dictment for grand larceny, in stealing, some months since, @ quantity of silks, valued at several thousand dollars, from the store of Nieustadts & Brothers, in Broadway. ‘The prisoner was asked what he had to say, previous to judgement being passed. He said that he would like to make a few statements to the Court, in explanation for the crime committed, if it was possible to be viewed in that light. He said, ‘When I left before the State Prison, 1 came to this city and endeavored to do right; I avoided my former associates; I was feeble and sickly; my physical strength would not permit me to do labori- ous work; my mother, who is an aged woman, was employed binding shoes, and she gave me a home, but I could not think of allowing my mother to sup- port me; I was poorly clad, and I soon found out that society shunned me; I was pom at ashaving been in the State Prison; I sought employment, but failed to get any for some time; some gave me sym- pathy, and others piticd, but none attempted to as- sist me; I was sick, and no one but my aged mother to look to, who could give me a home; I advertised for a situation, but could not get any; I applied to the Prison Association, and failed there in getting any relief or employment ; my clothing was not fit to seek employment in, it had become so shabby; I was, therefore, obliged to keep myself at home; finally, as my last resource, 1 wrote to a porsan whom I heard was very benevolent, as my last hope; I knew he kept several hundred persons in his em- ploy; I called on him, and asked him if he had received my letter; he paused, and after little while, he ve soy remarked, that_h had, but that he éanaio nothing for me; this las attempt failed; I considered all hope was gone; | eontinued on siruggling to get a living for some tim longer, but J found that wherever I went I known, as a book published entitled the ‘ Mysteries and Miseries of New York,” contained an account of my former transgressions, giving my name in full, and making me out one of the most notorious of bad characters; this*book, of course, had its killing influence, and damned me everywhere as soon as 1 was known; still J kept struggling on, endeavoring to be honest; I ultimately obtained a situation a porter, at $3 a week, but that did not defray my expenses; believing that the community was against me,J tried to be honest, but I finally became & re rit di £ $ ae u a w 1 é u © ul 0 to the city, and h be laid on the table 39 and 40, at the foot_of Desbrosses in the Fifth ward. is dispnted and bel perty of the city, therefore immediately all necessary legal measures to recover possession of the raid bulkhead, and to qject al persony- tomding ves iby, from time to tim go to the leg entitled priate money for such purposes open a chariiable fund. and let contributions be ley and whose ou. nothing but pirate which was condemned by our laws. and which, ina gre They failed in their object. were captu ead in question, and in view of this, he hoped, the ma- Jority report will’ be adopted, by which all action in the matter will be suspended until the legality cf the elaim be established, Ald.

Judge Bosworth Manon 16.—Patrick Creedon against Patrick Dickie. —'This cause was tried on a former occasion. before Hon. Judge Sandford, and the jury disagreed. The action was for damages done to the plaintiff restaurant, in the base- ment of No. 60 Canal street, by the flooding of the pre- mises during a heavy shower of rain on the 6th of May, 1850. Defendant owned the premixes in question, and the two adjoining buildings, and the damage was alleged to have been occasioned by the careless construction and use by the defendant of the leaders or conductors at- tached to and running along the rear walls of the two ad- joining buildings, and by the negligence of defendant in not protecting plaintiff's bavement by the removal of the conductors, and by arufiicient drain or sewer to carry off the water running through the conductors, from the adjoining buildings. Plaintiff's business was broken up, ol cloths spoiled, and provisions destroyed. For detence it was contended that plaintiff had no right or title from defendant to the occupancy of the premises in question, for the business he was engaged in; that the defendant leased the entire premises to the Broadway In- arance Company, who sublet to the plaintiff; and what- ever legal right or title plaintifY bad therein must have been derived from this company, who were bound by their lease to keep the premises in good repair, and that de- fendant’s remedy. if any, lies with that company, and not against the defendant. ” It was also contended that a good and sufficient sewer to carry off the water existed when the defendant leased the premises to the Broadway In- surance Company, which they were also bound to keep in order, Onmotion of defendant's counsel, the complaint was dismissed by the Judge, onthe grotnds, firet, that the original lessee having hired the premises as they were, there being no fraud on the part ot the defendant, they were hired for better or for worse; and that the original lessee could not recover damages because the premises were not in such a condition as to prevent injury to the property he might put on the premises; and second, that the plaintiff coming into possession under the lessee, could have nogreater or other claime against the defendant than the original leasee could have.
