LENT A SSI2'ES. SURREY. The Assizes for the County of Surrey termi nated on Wednesday evening, when eleven prisoners received sentence of death, eight of whom were re prieved before the Judges left the town, and three wereleft for execution, namely, Wilson, Burnet, and Curtis. These men have been convicted of robberies, wider circumstances of peculiar atrocity and formed part of the " Borough Gang," that have so long been a terror to the county. The whole of the convicts from Kingston arrived on Thursday night at the pri son in Ilotsemonger-lane. SOMERSET ASSIZES.-TAUNTON. TRIAL OF WILLIAM KEMP FOR FORGERY. William Kemp, late a grocer and banker in Bath, was indicted for having forged a promissory note for £:500 ; and for uttering the same, knowing it to be forged, with intent to defraud Thomas Flowet and John Cuff. Mr. CASBERD opened the ease on the part of the prosecution. The offence, the Learned Counsel said, with which the prisoner stood charged, was a capital offence; but he felt it nece-,s7.ry particularly to direct the attention of the Jury to the different charges against which the prisoner would have to defend himself. The prisoner was charged, first, with having forged the note in question ; next, with having pro-, cured it to be forged; and last, with having uttered it, knots ing it to be forged. The prisoner was a• man who had filled a most respectable situation in life. lie had resided at Bath, where, during many years; lie had carried on the business of *a grocer; and his s access in that trade was such, that he was afterwards induced to become a banter. In the year 1814, he gave up his business as a grocer in favour of a per son of the name of Flower ; and at that time the pri soner assigned to Mr. Hewer the whole of his stock in trade, and book debts, for the sum of £9OOO. mode in which this £9OOO was to be paid would be come a material object for the consideration of the Jury. The Sum was to be paid by Mr. Flower by IS promissory notes of /ZOO each. One of these notes was to be made payable -at the end of each successive week ; so that, at the-expiration of 18 weeks, the whole would be discharged. The transaction in question took place in May, 1814. Tke notes bort date the Qath of May, 1814. ; they were delivered fo Mr. Kemp, and paid by Mr. Flower. At this time the prisoner was inhabits of very close intimacy with aAfr.Cuff, a chyinist and druggist, residing in Bath. Mn Cuff bad lent certain sums of money to the pri-i sorer, and the latter, b 7 way of security, had made available to him the next presentation to a living in the county of Wilts. In the month of July. 1814; the prisoner applied to Mr. Guff to advance him-a Eicher sum of money ; or, if it should not be con veuient•to lend the money, to become joint security with him -in a promissory note to the amount of 4;760, with which last proposal Mr. Cuff complied ; and the prisoner, as security to Mr. Cuff, deposited with him two of.the promissory notes • which he had re...eived from Mr. Flower. At that time, therefore, Mr. Cuff had not only the next presentation to the living, but the deposit of these notes, as security for. the money he had lent. Scon after Mr. Cuff` pre up one of the promissory notes he had received, thinking that without it be had sutEtient sechrity ; and the prisoner soon came to Mr. Cuff with the following proposal :—He said, that the note whkh. Mr. 'Ca stilliield was made payable at toe early it , period -for hfr. Flower ' s convenience, and begged tha t Aft. Cuff would take in coximage for it another mote of Mr.:Mower's Which had a longer' tittle to run.-- I'olr. Cuff 'Changed the note, and the note which was then greets by the ptisimer to ,714 Cuff &rand the i glound of the present prosecution. This, 'which would be proved to be a - forgery, was then reed:— as. Maq 18,4014—Mew* weeks after date, I prciatios to pay to Mr. W.

This note, the Learned Counsel said, was ne v e r drawn by Mr. Flower. It became due in August, 1814. It was not, however, until October last that Mr. Cuff, who held the note, was called on to make, good the promissory note into which he himself had entered, at the desire of the prisoner. Mr. Cuff then, became desiruus to make this, the apparent, note of. Mr. Flower, available. He applied to Mr. Flower on the subject, the consequence of which was, a re ference to the Mayor, at the Town Hall, when the parties were bound over to prosecute, and the note • was impounded. These were the circumstances b 1 the case; and not only the uttering bat the forging et. the note would be proved. The note was not ci-ra•.vn by Mr. Flower, that was plain. By whom thea was it drawn? A witness would be called who would tell the Jury, that, at the instance of the pri soner, he, that witness, drew the body of the note ;I and it would be shewn, beyond doubt, that the sig nature was not the signature of Me, Flower. Whe ther that signature was or was not forged by the pri-. soner,lt would be for the Jury to decide. , Mr. Philip George said, that be was Town.Clerkl of Bath; that he was present when the prisoner was examined before the Magistrates; that he had in his possession the note which *as the subject of that exa mir.ation. Witasessproduced the note. Mr. Samuel. n said,, that he was formerly, a Clerk to Mr. Kelp .; knew the body of the hotesibieh was presented to him tehe note in *question} to be Itcsi own hand'-writing: •ile' wrote it at the desire of• Me. Kemp. This was beheeen the 25th of May and 9th August, 1814 ; had lived in the ethploy of Mr. .Flower; knew his' hand-writing ; the signatdre to the note - was not Mr; Flower's ; the endorsement upon the note wait in the hand 7 writing'of Mr. Kemp.

At that time witness re ceived two promissory notes of £5OO each, from Mr. Kemp. One of these notes he gave back to Mr: Kemp, about a week after he received it. Witness afterwards went out of town, and left the other note in charge of his son to change with Mr. Kemp. He did this in consequence of a meeting he had with Mr. Kemp, before he left town, when Mr. Kemp said to him, 4 , John, you vrill.do me no service unless you change that note of Flower's for a note of later date."l The note he then saw (the one in question) was that he received from his son, on returning home a fort night after. Remembers seeinglMr. Kemp in August; in the- same year. The meeting was at the house of witness. The note was not produced on that occa sion ; but witness told Mr. Kemp that Mr. Flower had said the note was a forgery. In October last was called upon to make good the security into which he had entered at Mr. Kemp's request. Was arrested upon that security. Saw the prisoner after that ar rest, and requested him to suffer the assignees (phi-, soner was then a bankrupt) to pay the money. Fri: soner then said that the money was net to be paid by the assignees, but that if he, witness, would go to London with him, he would pay Mr. Bergner, the holder of the security into which Mr. Cult had en tered, as much as his dividend would amount to. Cron-examined.—Had seen Mr. Kemp in Bath more than once between May, 1811, and October, 1818. Mr. Kemp had slept at his house more than once during that interval. Had been very intimate at one time with the prisoner, but had not written to him within the last two or throe years. CHeri,Mr. SetjeantVem. produced a letter which witness acknowledged he hid wriden to the prisoner withinthe last twelie months. Executed a release to Mr. -Flower this morning, before he came into Court. Had never been applied, to to execute a release before; that 'war; not by Mr. Bachelor. Had been applied to by the opposite party; Mr. Bachelor was solicitor in the present cause raise acted as solicitor under the commission against Mr. Kemp. Knew that Mr. Kemp had been trying to bupersede his commission. After he hadtold Kemp that the note was a forgery, he gave it to his brother for some time, that in case he should be applied to by Mr. Kemp's family, he might be able so say ha had not got the note. His brother kept the note about a month--since that time it had been-in his own pes session—from July, 1814, to January last. About that time, he went with his solicitor, Mr. Cruick shank, to demand payment of the note from Mr. Flower. Went chiefly to ascertain if it was a forgery: Mr. Justice Hottiovn.--If Mr. Flower told you five years ago that the note was a forgery, how hap pened it that you took no steps in the afFair till the year 1818?-1 had other securities which I thought sufficient. Witness was not present at any interview between Mr. Flower and Mr. Kemp sulsequent to 1814. ?-- Thinks he was not: would not swear. Re-examined.—liad not taken any steps with re gard to the forgery, until lately, because Mr. Ber guer, to whom he had become security at Mr. Kemp's desire, had been out of England. On his (Server's) return, he called upon witness for his debt, upon which witness began to look more closely to his own secur:t- Charles CuW, the son of the last witness, proved the changing *of the notes with Kemp, but would nOt swear that the note shown to him m Court wets the note which he had received from Kemp. • On hiS cross-examination he - said, that he had lived• with hislather frOm: the year 1814 to181t.• Dttein* that tithe had frequently Seen Kerhp taih.

Received a. note which he held in his hand about the sth of January last, from Mr. Sohn Cuff., Went with Mr. Cuff to Flower's house, to demand payment of the note. The note was not paid. Af terwards, at the instance of Mr. Flower, he went with Mr. Cu ff to Mr. Bachelor's o ffi ce. Returned the note to Mr. Cuff. Cross-examined.—Was not concerned in the pre sent prosecution. Had bailed and defended the ac tion upon which Mr. Berguer had arrested Mr. Cuff'. This communication with Mr. Flower was aboui the sth of January. Saw Mr. Kemp in two or three days after, and thinks that Mr. Kemp was then aware that he (witness) had been with Mr. Flower. lie dis claimed all connection with the present prosecution. Mr. Samuel Bachelor is a Solicitor. Received the note in question from Mr. John Cuff, on the 9th of January. Has known Mr. Flower eight years. The signature to the note was not the hand-writing of 4r. Flower. Ile (witness) said so three years ago. Mr. Serjeant YELL.—What you said three years ago, Mr. Bachelor, the Court cannot hear ; and if you know any thing of your profession, you know it is not evidence. The case being clesed on die part of the Crown, the prisoner left his defence entirely to his Counsel and to the Court. Stephen Ford said, that he was a Sheriff's Officer; had bet'n so thirteen years, and in three counties. In Sane, 1814, had a-warrant against Mr. Kemp for 40a. Went to the h o u s e of M r . Fl ower to l oo k f or him. Saw Flower, who said that Mr. Kemp was gone Into Wiltshire, and that he never wished to see his face again ; th at he was a villain; for that be (Flower) had given him leave to make use of his name in se-' veral bills, and that he had given him that liberty on, condition that he (Kemp) should find money for them when they Were due ; but that Kemp had broken his promise; and that he (Flower) had been obliged to pay one or two notes which Kemp had signed already. Witness remembered going to Mr. Flower's house afterwards, about the 26th of July, to look for Mr. Kemp ; he saw Mrs. Flower, who spewed him into the dining-room, where he saw Mr. Flower' and Mr. Kant) sitting at a table, with papers before them. Witness said, he had a warrant against Mr. Kemp; and Mr-Flower said he would stgn a bail bond if witness had one in his pocket. The rrisoner filled up the bail bond. Witness asked who was to be the other bail? Mr. John Cuff was then sent for, who signed the bail bond too. On the cross-examination of this witness, nothing appeared materially to affect his testimony. William Finglass said, that he knew Mr. Kemp and Mr. Flower in the year 1814. Remembered that upon one occasion Kemp gave him a bill, and re quested him to take_ it to Flower, and get Flower to sign it. He went to Mr. Flower, and asked him to do so. There were pcople in the shop with Mr. Flower. Mr. Flower stepped aside and whispered the witness to tell Kemp to sign the bill for him (Flower.) Mr. 'Thomas Flower, on his re-examination, con tradicted the whole of the evidence which had been given by Mr. Ford and by Mr. Finglast ; but his tes timony was given in qualified terms. He spoke , i.to the best of his knowledge." The Learned judge' summed up the evidence at considerable' length. 'The crime, he observed, with Which the prisoner stood charged was a capital crime; and if he was found guilty, that conviction would , probably be followed by the execution of the lair., There was a great deal of mystery about the exp. 'was for ,the Jury to decide ; ,and they were to mt. not only whether the signature to the note in 1 1 gogAiOn hoti or had not been written by the prisonae g i but Whether or not the prisoner herd Agtbority from, Flower to use that signature ? The Jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner— Guifo,Th e. tri4 lasted nearly seven hours, and the Court war crowded to excess. FERMANAGH, (IRELAND). P. Duna" was indicted, fot that ht, on the 27th of July last, did murder A. Somerville. This trial ac quired much interest, from a most atrocious effort to deprive the prisoner of his right to a fair and impar tial trial by his Judge and Jury. It appeared from the eVidettee, that the deceased and his brothers had been apprehended on a warrant charging them with felony ; that the prisoner was taken from his labour to assist in guarding them ; that the deceased ran away from the guard, and was pursued by the pri soner, whom he dragged through a river, and then tbrew him down on the bank of it ; and that the pri : soner in the struggle gave him a wound in the neck with a bayonet at the end of a pole, which occasioned his death. The prisoner was a Catholic—the de ceased an Orangeman. To sustain the indictment, the prosecutor bad entirely failed to !lige out a case, amounting even to manslaughter. In point of law, it was clearly a case of justifiable homicide; and when the Counsel for the Crown were about to close, a person named A. Aikia, a Yeomanry Officer, and Master of an Orange Lodge, stepped upon the table, to offer testimony of what ke was pleased to call the prisoner's confession. He deposed, that the prisoner was b tto witnes s ' s ho use on t h e 27th of July, and o n following day was committed to gaol. The witness was then about to state what he called the confession of the prisoner, when the prisoner's Counsel rose to put:what he considered some useful preliminaryquestions, namely, whether the confession he (the witness) was about to give in eVideoce had been extorted from the prisoner by hopes or threats, &e. &e. Tb this the witness fairly replied, that he hid not held out to the prisoner either hopes or threats. He was then questioned as to the fact of his being a perfectly disinterested witness. He solemnly declared that be•war ; but, in his answer to the very next ques fion, he admitted, " that pending the trial lie had assisted the Agents for the Crown in the challenges of certain Jurors . ! I !" At this crisis'of the proceedings., finding that the Learned-Jndre had, under all the circumstances, en tertained Serious doubts respecting the admissibility of Mr. Alkin i sefizisterested evidence, he (Mr. Aikin) stoned determined t h at the mercifd - communication be had to make should not be withheld from the duty—and-alth;urt tlr r e was directed by t h e C our t tat to - state she 's confession until be should be so required, yet, in a paroaysni of ardour for the' due administration of insticc, ale exclkimad, that the prisoner had toghitn, tkat he c h. murdered the deceased'. • The Learned Judge (Mr. Sericant Jc Cl.
