The victim was a glove - maker, who was found dead in a lonely road with marks of brutal violence on her person, and her pockets and basket rifled, Prisoner, who was a chilli neysweep, had been noticed following het when she was last seen alive, and afterwards was proved to have been in the possession of money, and for whieh he gave no true account, and articles resembling those missed from the body of the deceased were traced to his keeping. He had also shaved off his whiskers, and otherwise sought to disguise his pro ceedings. The case lasted two days and ended iu a verdict of Guilty, after which sentence of death was pronounced upon the culprit. A Ynuso 'WOMAN NAMED HILL, who Was living as housekeeper with a farmer near Brigg, was riding somewhat carelessly on a pony to market, when she passed the dour of a farmhouse in which a Mr. roster resided. Foster was in his garden and play • fully threw a rhubarb stalk at her. The stalk struck the pony, and, the animal starting, its rider was thrown off into the road. No serious harm was at the time apprehended, but subsequently it was found that her spine was much injured, and after much suffering for many months she is pronounced a cripple for life. An action for damages was brought against Foster, and tried on Tuesday at Lincoln. The jury awarded 600/. HENRY EYRE, who was charged with stealing a bank post-bill for NW., and forging an endors=ement to it, was on Wednesday re-examined at the Liverpool Police-Com t, and committed for trial. It was proved that the bill in question had been sent from Messrs. Grindley and Co., of Liverpool, to a Mr. Paul at Dundee, but it did not reach its destination. It was traced to the possession of the prisoner, who ob tained cash for it. at a bank in the town, he having , previously forged Mr. Paul's endorsement. JOHN CHALLIS, an old man about sixty years of age, dressed in the pastoral garb of a shepherdess of the golden age, and George Campbell, aged about thirty-five years, who described himself as a lawyer, and appeared equally equipped in female attire of the present day, were charged at Guildhall on Wed nesday with being found disguised as women in the Druids'-hall in Turnagain-lane, an unlicensed dancing-room. The conduct of the two prisoners was shown to have been very indecent and disorderly, and both were remanded, bail being refused in the case of Campbell, against whom some suspicion of having committed felony arose in the course of She proceedings. Xalw atb• AN ACTION was tried at Durham on Monday, brought by one farmer named Holmes against Bell, also a farmer, to recover back a sum of money paid in excess for certain wheat-stacks. Plaintiff, in February, 1853, bought six stacks of wheat, which defendant guaranteed to contain thirty bolls of corn a piece. When thrashed out, however, last spring the produce of every stack fell short, inasmuch that the total yield was fifty five bolls less than the gua ranteed quantity. The purchase-money having been paid at the time, plaintiff sought to recover the excess, at 12s. Od. per boll, on account of the short yield. Detenoant pleaded that the deficiency arose from the delay in thrashing out the wheat. The grain, he said, had shrunk or " pined," and mice had eaten it in quantities. He swore that in one twelve month the mice would consume 33 per cent. of the wheat in stacks built, as were those in question, upon the ground. The Junos asked, as matter of curiosity, whether It would not be economical to build the stacks on props, and so save the corn, if mice could destroy 83 per cent. in a year when built on the ground? The defendant said they always built them so. Such, he added, was the destruction the mice caused that two of his stacks, which ought each to have produced thirty bolls of wheat, together only produced seventeen bolls. The jury found a verdict fur the plaintiff, giving him 201. damages. THE FRENCHMAN, MARXAYSEE, who kept a house of ill fame in Newman-street, was again sued by one of his unfortunateprotigivs for money alleged to be due. The plaintiff in this case, which was tried at Maid- A; -- Tuesday, was a girl named De _ precisel; thr Betting : 6to 1 on Virago, who won in a canter by stone Assizes on Tuesday, was a girl named De - - fifteen lengths. to the St. Vincent.
