LEN!' ASSIZES. CIIFSTER, APRIL 19. r:7? Price, aged 25, was indicted for having, in company with Samuel Worrall (nr.t in custody), feloni ously assaulted and murdered Wm Worrell, at Buer ton, by shooting him in the head. i\lr. Serjeank CuosYi stated the case. The deceased was a dealer in coals, and lead net out from hi , . Louse in the night, or early in tlie morning of the lith of MAY, 3822, to purdrase scare. Ile was discovered sitting in his cart, murdered, a few hours afterwar:is. Several witnesses would state that two pCrsons, dean il)ed o) be dressed like the prisoner and an associax, who had ab sconded, were seen en the road near to where the mur der bad been committed. The prisoner and his associate, Wont all, had on the Saturday alter the to der, g.me to the house of a woman, where they Lad spelt the early part of the week, and being there questimwd as to being concerned in the marder, l'rice denied it, but soon afterhe and ‘Vorrall went the back way out of the house, over fields and hedges, leaving after them two pistols and a powder-flask; they were thrown into a pond by the woman of the house, and when the pr ismer was apprehended, she told what she had done with them to the constables, who searched for and cot them. The bullet which had penetrated the head was cempared Nith one of the pistols, and it was found exactly to cor respond. The prisoner had absconded from the coun . try, and was apprehended at Ashtou-under-L} ne, in Lancashire, where he had gone fr under another name. After the evidence in support of the indictment had been hear-d, The prisoner in his defence said, " May it please your Honours, I am innocent of the . 1,6. The rea s on I left l the country war, because I had a child fathered on me, and I was behind hand with the pay, and that was the reason 1 left, as I understood there was a warrant out to take me." P. L. Brooks, Esq. High Sheriff of the County, proved the signature of Mr. Broughton, a Magistrate of the County, to a warrant for the apprehension of Price, for the non-payment of the expenses of a bastard child. Diana Broadhurst was the mother. The warrant was dated the 10th of May, 18'22. The Cc:runs. held that before the paper could be re ceived it must be proved that the prisoner was the man Lamed in the warrant. Richard IVeaver examined.—l remember the pri soner living in the parish of Chickley, as described in the warrant. Cross-examined.—l met the prisoner in Buerton on the Thursday night the murder was committed. The prisoner wore a white hat ; I saw him about a mile from ITorrall's house. By the Counz.—lt was between eleven and twelve o'clock at night when I saw him. I lived servant with the prisoner for twelve months; the prisoner was with another man, and they were both dressed in carters' frocks; I am not quite sure it was the prisoner; I can't say Samuel Worrall, the other man accused, was with the prisoner; I thought the other man was his brother in-law, Anthony Sutton ; but I am not sure it was him. The'CLller JUSTICE described the terms of the in dictment. lie would not begin his charge to the Jury without calling their attention to a remark made by Mr. Serjeaut Cross, in his add; t.ss, that they ou.. ; :it riot to find the prisoner guilty of this, serious charge, unless the evidence w.,s so co.,clusisft as to leave on their ierinds no doubt of his guilt. Ile then begged the jury 4) give the evidence of a female witness the most scru pulous attention, for it was her testimony chiefly that affected the prisoner; and they would consider toe mode in which she gave it, to ascertain if it were en titled to that credence so e:aeritia;ly necessary to come to a satisfactory determination of the guilt of the pri soner. Some remarkable variations had appeared with respect to the identity of the prisoner ; and as identity was of all others of the greatest importance, when the life of a fellow-creature was at stake, the Jury would not decide unless they were fully convinced that the man at the bar was the person who committed the murder. They would take all the circumstances of this most se rious charge into their consideration, and find such a verdict as, in their conscience and judgment, as honest men, they &lc themselves bound to give. The Jury almost instantly gave a verdict—Not Guilty. The prisoner paid tire greatest attention to the evi dence during the trial, and when the Verdict was an nounced did not appear to be much affected by it. The Court was crowded to excess, and in the Ladies' &ix was seated Mrs. Coutts. IMPORTANT TO OOACII PROPRIETORS.—LOWE V. OOOTII AND OTHERS. The plaintiff is a silversmith, in Chester ; the de fendant is landlady of the Golden Lion Inn, and part owner of a coach to London, called the Favourite. On the 16th July last, a box containing some valuable jewellery, gold and silver coin, &c. was packed up by Mr. Lowe. and addressed to Mr. Win. Bateman, 108, Bunhill--row, London. It was taken at ten o'cloi:k b l ight to the coach-office, and left there, and 4c. GI car ria ,e paid for it. Itetween Che,tor and NI-weastle in Slafford•hire, it_ was lost, and the action was hroulit to recover the-value of it. The Alekr;ce was, that there was no liability. There were printed notices in the offiCe, directly opposite to the dour, stating that the proprietors would not be answer . able for any ankles: of plate, jewellery, &c. uule-s they wore entered as.such, and threepence in the pound paid . as an insurance: It *as admitted that plaintiff's son had been in the office' at least fifty times; that he had actually read coachadtreititements which were fastened to and above the notice, and yet he swore that he bad not read or seen any part of the notice. It further ap peared, 'that the plaintiff had entered into a treaty with the defendant's boek-keeper, to have his parcels carried as. common parcels at 2.! ! ‘1. per. lb. instead of the usual rice 3d. on account of his.seading One or two every Week to' ondon.. Thp triatoccoßied the Carta considerable time, and The LORD CHIEN JUSTIC3. is summing up, Slioke of the iittprobibility of plaintiff's son being so often in the .oftge, and not seeing the notice, which was on a board upwards of five feet long. The plaintil had ?never in timated to the book-keeper that hisparcels v ere of mere than ordinary value. • Under these circutOstances the Jury retired, and st• about an hour returned With. a verdict for defendants:—lt is expected that applicittion will be made for-a new trial.

COURT' OF ASS'ZFS FOR PARIS. brATIT LY -BOXING. In the night of Sunday, the 9th of October last, several workmen, of various professions, were drinking{ at the Cabaret of one Larousse, Boulevard du Mout Parnasse. A man nulled Thavenet, alias Poulet, ac companied by another man named Philip, otherwise Fanfan lx Tnlipc, began to joke with two individuals at, another table, and said, you have not paid your wig-. dtesser this morning, for you are badly shaves. The words on bntlt sides led to irritation, and one, named Laitue, proposed fighting with swords. Thavenet said he only knew the use of the Savoyard's sword, mean ing that he could box with his fists. Some time after, Thaveuct engaged in a boxing match with one Petit Lds, and the 'firmer fell. They raised him, in a de ! pio:;:ble state of insensibility. The fall occasioned hi% death ; Petit Nils was consequently tried for wilful mut der.—The Jury, after heating the evidence, found the defendant Guilty of involuntary Homicide; and the Judge pronounced his acquittal. This is the first instance we have known of death by pngilism in France. URBANCE AND ALARM OF FIRE IN WHITECROSS. STREET PRISON.—On Saturday morning, about two o'clock, some refractory characters in the ward No. 6, of the Middlesex side, excited the greatest alarm throughout the pi ison, by setting fire to a heap of straw which they had taken from their beds, and into which they had thrown some quantities of gunpowder, in the passage leading to one of the bed wards. The flames burst through the windows with great violence, and the peaceable inmate; of the bed ward had no means of escaping but by rushing through the flames. From the slender materials' of combustibility in the prison, the ravages could not have been rapid; several windows were, however, injured ; and one completely blown out by the explosion. Mr. SPENSER, the Governor, with the different officers, immediately repaired to the spot; and the prison engine, of great power, was brought out. In a short time all occasion of alarm subsided. The general terror, however, produced was inconceivable. Accounts from Stockholm, of the 6th instant, state that in those northern latitudes, ax elsewhere, the winter seems to have just began, with a heavy fall of snow. On the Ist of April there fell so much snow at Gotten burg, that die people drove about in sledges ; at the same time there was a pretty sharp frost. The six men who deprived Mr. ?vlarum of life have been discovered, and are at present lodged in Kilkenny gaol. One of them, of the name of C. Champion, was tried some time ago, for the murder of a man named Brophy. He has been repeatedly in jail for flagrant offences. jt appears, too, that they are all old offenders. —lrish Paper. A cattier of the name of Edmund Maine was thrown. over, in a cart passing through Brentford, on Tuesday evening, and received two compound fractures in the leg and the arm. The small-pox having appeared in several places hi Sweden, his MAJESTY has issued a circular to the Go vernors of provinces, enjoining them to enforce the laws , on this subject, as well as relative to vaccination. Fifty millions of oysters have been removed from the new beds discovered off Worthing.—Mackarel sold at Brighton last week at 7s. per hundred : in London they fetch horn 61. to Bd. each. The citizens of Indiana, u. s.have decided, by a large 'majority, not to call a Convention for altering their Con stitution, so as to admit the introduction of slavery into that State. Tuesday last, was rung, at the Parish Church of St. Paul, Shad well, by eight of the Junior Cumberland So ciety, a peal of Graudsire Bob Major, containing 5167 changes, in three hours and three minutes, conducted by William Williams, being the first peal in that method on these bells. A DESPERATE CHARACTER. —Monday night last (12th instant), Mr. PONSORBY, Chief Constable, with a party of his police, succeeded in apprehending that no torious ruffian Lynch, nicknamed Cahy, who some time, since desperately wounded one of the police, with a large knife, upon his apprehending him at Carribeg., When taken, he had in his possession the carbine of which he then robbed the policeman, which was primed and loaded, and in his pocket a quantity of cartridges made up ready for use. Behind where he was sitting, was also a case of pistols, primed and loaded. In the house, a fellow named Paddy Lynch, of whom the police had got a description, as being a companion cff Ca'ay, was also apprehended ; in his pocket was a quan tity of gunpowder and some very good flints. Upon searching them more closely, the police discovered two handkerchiefs and some money, which led to a suspi cion that a robbery had been recently committed by them. Upon inquiry on Tuesday morning, it was as certained that a young woman ias the service of the Marquis of WATERFORD had been robbod on Monday afternoon, on her way to Curraghmore. Upon being sent for, she immediately identified both the prisoners, front among several people, as the two who robbed her, holding the carbine, and the other, Paddy Lynch, tile two piaols over her. They wereconveyed to our •county jail, under a strong escort of Mr. Possosay's police.-111:.ferford Chronicle. Thursday a complaint was preferred before the Ma gistrates of Edinburgh, by a servant girl against her mistress—a lady who keeps a lodging-house; and the subject of complaint was an assault of a most singular alescription. The defender had invited a number of female acquaintances to drink tea with her; and the complainer was busily employed in toasting the bread, when her mistress entered the kitchen, and made the appalling discovery, that she had toasted one half slice too much ! This was more than flesh and blood could bear; and it is not to be wondered at, that the defender should have lost her temper upon this trying occasion. She abused her handmaid for " a wastefu' j ade," and snatching the bread-teaster from her band,she threatened to thrust it, bread and all, down her throat. This the complainer dared her to do; upon which the defender actually attempted to execute her threat ; but rage, rather than skill, directing the blow, the prongs of the toaster struck the poor girl immediately under the eye, and inflicted a very serious wound, which required to he dressed by a surgeon. It did not exactly appear what effect this tragical occurrence had upon the sensibility of the ladies assembled; but it is to be presumed, if they did partake of the hospitality of the defendes,"they took special care not tuexceed the bounds of moderation, :and felt as Damocles did when seated at his sumptuous banquet. The Magistrate expressed his abhorrence of ;the defender's savage conduct, and ordained her to pay , 1. luree guineas ofdamagestothe complain er—a sentence isiiirich produced bursts of applause from a grbup of female servants who had Assembled at the dour to testify against bteadstoastera being used as an . instrument of correction. POLICE INTELLIGEACE. --••••re■••-- 130 W-STREET. William Gibbs the young matt charged with stealing grapes from Mr. Canning's hothouses at Gloucester Lodge, was fully commit ted tokiewgate fur trial. Love tat env KITCIIEN.—Among the watch-house prisoner; brought before Mr. nava, yesterday morning, was a hoe, fat, bouncing dame, named Elizabrth Bine, and a sedate, full - sized , mi.fil l e - a g e d man, named Henry Fickler, who had been sent to durance, in the middle of the preceding night, by a Mr. Frulayson, for making love in his kitchen, contrary to special agreement. Elizabeth Bone is, as we have already hinted, fat, Cara!, and forty; and she was COokMaid to the Finlayson abovernentionad, and a capital cook she was, too—clean, adroit, sober, honest, and industrious, as Mr. Finlayson readily admitted. But unfartenately she fell in love; and by falling in love she fell nut with her metaer ; and by falling nut with her master she fell into troubles and dispute..; and all these ins and outs ended in her getting out of place and Map the watch-house. ft appeared, by Mr. Finlayron's account, that he engaged Betty Bone as his csokmaid some live or six weeks ago, with an excellent character, and they covenanted with each ether that she should have nopfeamea—especially VIOL noel. Rimy Bone cheerfully assented to this covenant; and Mr. Firlav,osi hattered himself that, at her time of life, there was hale daneer of liar breaking it; but thq were both out in their reel:outer,. Ilefare ore short fortnight had elapsed, Mr. Finlayson foam' Batty Bone seat( d before a coinforteble lire in the kitchen, ued the aboveirentioeed henry Bac:der on his knees before Betty Bune—makirg love to her! Mr. Fiulayson upbraided Betty Bone aids her breach of contract; arid Betty told him" it was of ro use talking—if she didn't suit the place, why the place didn't suit her; and the soneer he got himaell another cook the better." The fact was, as we have been credibly informed, Mr. Fackler had promised to make Betty Bane " bone of his bone ;" sled, there fore, her breach of the " no follower" contract was not to be very much wondered at. :Vt. Finlayson himself saw the matter in a matrimonial light, and contented him self with taking Betty Bone's notice to quit, and ber promise that the courtship should be total! ; suspended until that notice expired —for, as he said, he was reso lved to have no followers. Now it sn happened, that before Betty Bone's notice expired, the horse maid went away, and Betty Bone was requested to retrain until another could be got. This she readily undertook to de, and every using went tat very quietly until 'autaday night last. On that eight Finlayson had tompany at his house, alai at a vet y hate hour he harped that Betty lame had got her sweetheart in the kitchen again. He was ertspereted at hearing this; Betty Was hold in her defence; her sweetheart, Mr. Backler, vowed that wherever Betty Bone was, there nuuld he be also; high words ensued, and at last, Mr. Finlayson, in his anger, sent them both to the watch-house! This was the very head and front of Betty Bone's offence; and Mr. Finlayson assured the Magistrate he had no wish to press the matter, nor would he have sent them to the watch-house if they had not defied bins. Betty Bone, in her defence, pleaded that her promise not to ad mit Mr.- tackler expired with her notice to quit ; and that as she, remained after the expiration of that notice to suit her mastet's can venience, she thought she was fully justified in suiting her own, by again admitting her suitor. • Ills Worship observed, that she had done very wrong; fur no mats ought to have his house intruded upon by strangers against his will. He then discharged them bath, with an admonition fur their government ; but Mr. Finlayson told Betty she should never offend again in his house, and there tera he paid her the wares due to her, and lett her and bee lover to wander where they would. G V ILDH ILL Mr. Jopson, the Vestry Clerk of the City Liberty of the Pari of St. Andrew, Holborn, and Mr. Montague, an inhabitant of Thavies Inn, who also acts as solicitor on the part of the inhabitants generally, attended yesterday before the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Alderman ATIL L INS, with the intention on the part of the former Gentleman to obtain a warrant of distress against Mr. Montague, with a view to bring the question, whether or no Thavies Inn is ex tra parochial, again before the Court of King's Bench ?—Nothing new was elicited, and nothing was done,.as the presence of two Magistrates is necessary for the granting a warrant of distress. Samuel Liddle and Thomas aer,both sweeps, were charged tinder the following circumstances: A Mr. Thompson, of No. 12, Carthusian-street, Charterhouse square, stated that yesterday morning his washer-woman being a great deal incommoded by two of the chinmiL.g smoking, called in the first two sweeps who came by, of whom the prisoner Cox was one. When they had fivislie,l, his servant told them to call at ten o'clock, as her master would be up then, and they would be paid. They accordingly returned at the appointed time, and demanded two shillings for sweeping the two chimneys. Witness told them he would give them no more than one shilling, as they had the soot into the bargain, and he never gave more to any sweep. They said they would have two shillings, or they would not leave the house if they did not get it. They persisted in remaining, when he sent for Partlett, the officer ; on his arriving, he was saluted by Cox with a gentle smack across the mouth with his black brush. The Officer, however, got them away; but Cox returned soon alter with his master, Liddle, and again insisted upon the two sltillinat, or they would not leave the house. Ile sent for Partlett again, who got another taste of the brush from Cox, which not only disfigured his face, but not a little spoiled a new suit. They were taken to the Compeer. The men of soot, in their defence, said that there had been an agreement, arid what they asked was but a reasonable demand. Mr. Thompson brought his servants to prove that there had been no agreement. Alderman ATKINS told them, that if they found themselves ag grieved at not being paid, all they had to do was to have summoned Mr. Thompson, but instead of that their conduct was unjustifiable. He was determined they should not escape; they had grossly as saulted a very respectable officer, and he should take care the City should prosecute them for it at the Sessions ; besides, they were not City sweeps, and had no right to work in the City. They should find securities for their appearance at the Sessions. The prisoners said they could get no bail. They were committed in default thereof, and were then conducted to the Compter. QUEEN-SQUARE. DARING &INDIA RY AND ARTENITTED MURDER.— Yesterday, a young man, about twenty years of age, who stated bia name to be John Williams, was brought up in the custody of Maybank, an ' officer of Chelsea, charged with breaking into -the house of Mr. Stephen Anderson, of Ni. 3, Hoopet's-court, Blackland's-lane, Chelsea ; and also with desperately wounding in the head, with a crow bar, a person named Brown, by which his life is now in im minent danger. Mr. Brown, brother-in-law to the prosecutor, stated, that on Tcesday night, about ten o'clock, he passed Mr. Anderson's house, and observed a light in one of the rooms ; knowing the family were spending the evening at a neighbour's, he went to the street-door, which he found partly open, and on going into the passage a man rushed past him. Ile followed him, and a scuffle ensued, in which the burglar struck him several tremendous blows on the head with a crow bar, which felled him to the ground. At this time, Mr. Anderson, who had been tohi of the robbery, came up with a friend, and secured the prisoner.—He was fully committed for the burglary. UNION-HALL. ' Yesterday, James 117/son and JAIL Clarke, the two men chargeil on suspicion of having been concented in the robbery of the !fern Portsmouth coach, of 0E1,00:: were brought up for final examina tion.—The evidence against Wilson, which has already appeared, was then read, and he was fully committed to the next Sussex As sizes for trial. Clarke, the other man in custody, was discharged, the Magi strate observing, that in his case the evidence brought forward was not sufficient to send him to take his trial. Richard Driver, the driver of a Greenwich stage-coach, eras charged with furiously driving the said coach, so as to endanger the lives of the passengers. It was stated in evidence, that on the 14th instant the defendant was discovered driving the coach at a most furious rate along the wrong side of the Greenwich road, toward.; London. For the defendant it was contended, that he was giving at a regular pace at the time; but this. defence failed, anal he was convicted in the penalty of let. and costs. MARLBOROUGH-S ritsET. A Chelsea gardener was brought before the Magistrates by the officers of St. James's, to make a proper allowance for his illegiti mate child. Ile stated he had been five years in the service of the same master, but exclusive of all perquisites, he only received ten shillings per week. The Magistrate was at a loss what suns he should order for the child's maintenance, when the Ne;:dle observed, he belleied a marl; was in cut.templation between the parties. " Eh, Jenny," exclaimed the father, looking at her very tenderly," will you have use?" finny, however, who was not a woman of the ordinary kind,woultl not listen to his entreaties, and positively said she would not have him. Thu father, a highland Scot, endeavoured to alter her mind, and, patting the child on the cheek, said," Poor Jock ! I dare say la; is mine ; but why had ye not told me ye were going to take this step; and the bUsiness shoal(); have beefi.settled!" Jelin7 remained rdlszcd kiln any answer, and half-a-crown per Ivetk hoe: ng horn ordered, he left the Office, endeavouring to persu;de Jcnni to rsecompany him to the Temple of Hymen. 111 NRY-LA-BONNE OFFICE.

EXLCUTION OF BILOSNEHAN,MgAULIFFE, for hurning Church• Town Barracks.—Furtlzer prtica• lars.—These men were executed on Thursday, at Gal lows-Green, Cork. Oti their arrival at the gallows they knelt down, each attended by a Ciergyman, and after reading their prayer Looks for a short time, the Rev. Mr. O'Connor called on the - Sub-Shetifr (Henry lien nett, Esq.) and said that one of the unfoi timate men had a few words to say to him. The Sheriff came for ward, and M'Auliffe said, " I am golty, Sir, of the crime for which lam abort to suffer. I was at the at tack, but having been woended early in the affray, I returned home, and it was afterwat ds the barrack was burned, and the policemen killed ; but I acknowlelr. my guilt the same as if I was there the whole time. I am sorry for it now,ana the ouly rereration 1 can me'es. in this world is to ackuowledes it fzeely, which 1 noe do with all my heart, and would wish that I could per suade others to do the same, and take warning by or unhappy fate; I also forgive all the world, and beg te prayers of all persons present." Ile delivered himsce in a clear manner, and repeated several of the sentence; over again, and seemed desirous that it should be kuevel to every one. Brosnehan, who was next to him, aed heard this declaration, then said, 41 I acknowledee freely my guilt ; I was there, and hope - UOD W:11 fOrgl%c me." The next unfortunate man, L llis, in consequence of the strong alibi me& out for him, said in geneed terms, that ." as the other two made declarations, there was no occasion for him to do the same." Tne then spoke to the Sheriff on some family matters, which he promised to have arranged for them, and on thi; as surance they reemeJ pe:.tectly satistie.J. The fatal pre parations having been completed, the executtor in the act of adjusting the rope on Brosne.'in, to his reaching the drop, when one of the C!cigyr.i , sl desired him to desist for a moment ; to which the c.- prit replied, quite resigne,l, " Let him, Sir ; it does n.:: matter." lle then ascended the ladder to the platfor - ::, and looking around at the dense mass of people, in a loud and audible manner implored their prayers.— M'Auliffe nest ascended with a firm step, and the exe cutioner drew the cap over Broshehan's face, and the same with M'Auliffe, when the lattcr said, " Wait till we take a farewell, and kiss each taller, which we will do when he comes up," alluding to Lillis, who still re mained on his knees in prayer. Both pushed the cap; off their faces, and remained praying fervently with th.! Clergyman, until Lillis joined them. The three then shook hands, and kisseti each other, and the caps we...e drawn over their faces. APAeliffe, who was in the cen tre, held both their han,:s, on which Brosnehan took away his hand and said, "It is better not to hold harn., as it might give us more pain ;" while uttering these words the drop gave way, and this world was closea on them for ever. M'Auliffe died without a struggle, but Lillis and Brosnenan suffered much, partiallarlc the latter. They were three strong men, and, in the a‘Nful trial of name, sustained themselves with gre4: nerve.
