f v ? cel . SU.afiKER ASSIZES. . ' • • - • LANCASTER, AUGUST Is. • - sitittfertos.z-rox v. WILKINSOS. This was an action brought to recover compensa- - tion in damages for the injury sustained by the plain tiff, in consequence of the loss of the services of his d!rghter. The damages were laid at 5001. Mr. BROUGHAM stated, that in this case the plaintiff was a respectable farmer, living near Itadale, in this county ; the defendant was also a farmer, residing in the same 'neighbourhood, though not one jot more. respectable than the plaintiff. The injury which he had sustained was one of the greatest which - could almost be sustained by any man, but in this case it was heightened by the fact, that no blam-, no, not in the slightest degree, attached to the plaintiff. Had he been neglectful of his duty, then might he bear the pang of self-reproach, but in no instance had he the painful task of being obliged to condemn himself for any neglect of, or inattention to the moral habits of his family. The daughter of the plaintiff had been a mo dest and a virtuous girl up to the moment of her seduction by the defendant, and she would this day appeal before the Jury to tell-the story of her woes, and relate those circumstances which led to her ruin, and the destruction of her peace of mind. The state ment o' Ole abused and ill treated girl was that which would form the ground and measure of compensation which they would grant the father, and that being the ca.e, he would not enlarge upon topics which might be easily enlisted into a cae like the present, but leave t'e Jury to decide eventually for themselves. The Jefendant was a man worth abut 1001. s.year, and the plaintiff's daughter became acquainted with him about four years ago, at the marriage of a neighbour. The parties met alter wards on similar occasions, and that which was but a slight intimacy at first, subse quently became closer and more frequent. The de fendant repeatedly visited at the house of the plaintiff as the avowed suitor of his daughter, and he proposed marriage to her only, as it would appear in the sequel, the more readily to accomplish his wicked object.— These honourable professions not only aggravated the crime of the defendant, but lulled to rest every doubt which might have arisen in the breast of the plaintiff. Being received at the plaintiff's house as the professed suitor of his daughter, it was natural enough to think that certain opportunities were allowed him which, under other circumstances, would not have been ad mitted for a single moment, and which, indeed, if permitted, would have been highly culpable in the plaintiff. However, to quiet all suspicion upon his part, the defendant made his daughter a promise of marriage, and accomplished his object in October, 1823, just one year after his first introduction, and in the next ensuing year, Miss Fox became the mother of the defendant's child. These were all the circum stances with which he should now trouble the Jury, satisfied that they would do justice to the wounded feelings of an insulted and abased father. Miss Fox called, and examined by Mr. BROUGHAM.— My name is Nelly Fox. I have two sisters and a br6ther. lam the eldest of the family, and have been my father's housekeeper. I became acquainted with the defendant in September, 1821, at the marriage of Richard HodgMs. 1 met him at a christening in August, 1822, and we became more intimate after that. He then visited me with an intent to marry me. In October, 1823, he made me a promise of marriage, and gave are written paper to that -effeeti , but-he succeeded in getting k back from me in Apra, 1824. It was more than a year after the christening when I got the paper from him saying that he would marry me. I was induced by the promise that paper made) to yield to his entreaties. I had a child by him, and was put to bed on the sth of July, 1824. He often talked to me about his property. He had one place which he said he had let for 801. a-year, another for 301. and so on. My mother was lame and could not attend about the house. She is now obliged to use clutches. slr. WILLIAMS cross.examined the witness. but the questions and answers were unfit for publication. Mr. Wn.u4sts addressed the Jury for the defendant. Mr. Baron Her.t.om left the question of damage to the Jury, who found for the plaintiff—Damages 501. NEGLIGENT DR/V/NOVAZYIS V. 15 ROTHERTON• This was ari action brought by the plaintiff to re cover compensation in damages for an injury which he bad sustained in being thrown off the Liverpool mail, owing to the negligence of the defendant's servant. Mr. POLLOCK, in - rating the case to the Jury, tailed the facts, which the .witnesses he had no doubt would prove to the satisfaction of the Jury ; and if they dii so, he had as little doubt that the liability of the defendant would , be very plainly proved to him. The plaintiff WAS manager of the Hibernian Gas Company, and had come from London by the mail to Liverpool. Thicoach had actuAlly arrived at the Post-office. The :guard went to deliver the bags, and a Gentleman who waslinside called to the coachman to let him out. The -maths:rail came off the box and let the Gentleman our; but before the coachman could again regain his seat or the reins of his horses, they galloped away, and on passing by Rasket-street the coach upset, and the plaintiff was violently thrown to the ground. This shocking accident occurred in September of last year, and up to the piesent time the plaintiff was unable to move without Crutches. The plaintiff had'also lost a lucrative situation, and for these accumulated suffer inns he now sought recompense from an English Jury. The manner in which tbe accident occurred was proved as stated by nip witnesses. Mr. SCARLET? addressed the Jury for the defendant. Nu complaint, he said, was made of the conduct and -sobriety of the coachman, and he contended that the coachman's alleged negligence in this case was alto gether excusable. - Mr. Baron" HULLOCIC left it to the Jury to say, whether the accident occurred through negligence or accident, and such accident as no precaution could have avoided ? If they thought the latter, they would find for the defendant, if not,'they were bound to find for the plaintiff such compensation as they might think him reasonably entitled to, under all the circum stances of the case. • • The Jury retired for halt an hoer,, aid thee returned a verdict• for the plaintiff—Damages 3SOL * CHILD myaran. • There were' to lesi than five persona he thfi calendar (one man rid four women) charged with child. murder'; but the Grand Jury ignored all the bills againit thesis; and eo evidence being offered on the Inquisitions, the prisoner s were all actii . ltted. MAtiSLAUGHTED. James Hardy . was indicted for killing arid slaying John Finch, at Chorley;• on'the 6th of August last.— everal witnesses were called, from tihose testimony appe.irea that the parties met at a public-louse, knd having got nearly intoxicated, the deceased and : 1 14;Iner g.it to fightirz " up and down, according 'to the brutal custom of this county. ,The prison& baring got the 'deceased down; 81 pundied" (kicked him in the stomach), and in a few minutes he died. The prisoner called witnesses to character.—The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, that the brutal and un manly custom of fighting , g up and down" was con fined almost exclusively to the county of Lancaster, where it had become so prevalent, that it was necessary to exercise the utmost rigour of the law in order to put a stop to it. In the ordinary standing mode of fight ing, there was but little apprehension of those dread ful events which so frequently resulted from the cow ardly practice of kicking, or, as it was called, "punch ing" a fallen antagonist; were it not that the Jury re commended him to mercy, he should have felt it his duty to transport him, as a warning to others ; but at tending to that recommendation, and to the circum stance of the prisoner's having a family, he should sentence him to one year's hard labour in the public jail. Tile prisoner, who was a good-looking young man, had two brothers in Court, who wept bitterly when th e y h ear d this sen tence pronounced. MURDER. Joseph Standing, or Standriaer, was indicted for the murder of Martha, his wife, at Manchester, in the month of July last. Mr. A ammonia stated the case,and called the following witnesses : John Bowen knew the deceased, and met her in the morning of the 29th of June last in the street, at about half-past four. I said to her, , 4 You get up betimes this morning !" but she made me no answer. She seemed to walk steadily. The prisoner denied all knowledge of this witness; and won dered how he could know his wife. Mr. Justice Bassxi.—He does not say he knows you. John Hardy examined.---.I live near the prisoner, and on the morning of the 29th June went to call him up, without any previous request on his part that I should do so. I went to call him within a quarter to five o'clock. He lived in a cellar, down several steps. As I was going down, I saw his wife lying on the flags, her feet towards Ie door, and her head towards the steps. I called the prisoner, who immediately an swered, and he and I left the place together. As we were going into Chapel-street, I looked at the prisoner, who seemed very much flushed. The first question he asked then was, 4 1 Did I see his wife blossom." I un derstood him by that to mean his wife. I told him I did, and be said, he thought she was dead. I said with some surprise, dead !" and a second time he said, "yes, dead." I Observed, if he thought so, that he had better return back to the cellar, and he did so.—He asked me what I thought he should do with her ? I told him I did not know, and that I would have nothing to do with the business. I said I thought it would be best to ask the police, and he subsequently did so. The prisoner and his wife did net live very happy together. By Mr. Justice BATLEY.—I heard nothing of any screams or cries being made by the deceased. If any noise were made, it must have very easily been heard. I saw the prisoner kick her before then, at my house. She was between 33 and 34 years of age. John Boutflower examined—l am d p surgeon at Sal ford, and was sent for on the 29th of June, to attend the deceased. I found the face very much discoloured. The eyelids were blackened, as if from a previous blow, and there was a small mark on the ri;ht side of the lower jaw, of a light colour, like a bruise. I also ob served a mark across the fore-part of the throat ; it appeared to begin by the projection of bone near the ..eof 3iit.Wsot um* die ler, lin fiATJA : 195t 41- the .. Plot of die l air.. Just under the .left side, the mark was so deep, that I could insert my nail in the furrow of the line, but that line was white, and the skin had a blue tinge above and below it. I then opened the head, and found the brain what we call healthy, but all the ves sels were amazingly full of blood. From these ap pearances, I can only come to one conclusion, that the woman died from strangulation. By the Junoz.—The appearances I have stated might have been produced by epilepsy, or by apoplexy, and' they would have left the vessels full ; but it is not usual to have the scalp full. But for the mark round the throat, I could not say but that this woman died of apoplexy. I did not know her when alive. She ap peared to be a very strong woman. I have heard that her habits were very intemperate, which would certainly induce apoplexy. The mark on the throat was where the cap-string would press. If a'woman were in a fit, and her cap-string tightithe first thing I should order would be to cut it. The prisoner being called on for his defence, declared himself as innocent as the child that is yet to be born. By the COMM—Have you any witnesses? Prisober—None, but her sister, who was present on the morn ing before. Mary Griffiths was then called, but did not appear. Mr. Justice Balms: recapitulated the evidence to the Jury, who, without leaving the box, found the prisoner Net Guilty. • Mr , Justicellsymr—Geutlemen of the Jury, I think your ver dict a very proper one, for, to say the least of it, this case bas presented Itself to us under very strange and extraordinary oir- • Matthias Kelly, aged 25, was capitally indicted for the wilful murder of John Warn, at Liverpool, on the night of the 2d of August last. -- Davis examined—Remembers the night of the 2d of August ; was close to Warn, the deceased, near the brow of the hill, in a field near the gaol, on that. night ; saw Warn raise up his hand, but he perceived, nothing pass from it ; the deceased after this went back, and the prisoner following him, called upon me to take him away, but I gave do reply; the deceased was then lying upon the ground ; he desired me to call the is watch ;" I went to.fetch the watch, and from the time I left the place till I got into Howard -street, I heard Warn cry out Murder r When I returned, which was a few minutes only, I found the deceased groaning. The nest morning, at six, I heard the prisoner say he was in a row the night before, and had the sleeve of his coat cut; happened to meet him by accident. All the ground near the hollow was covered with loose bricks and rubbish. James Aspinall examined—l was walking near the Rotunda, at Liverpool, nn the night in question, when I heard cries of 44 Murder r and soon after met the pri running away ; I stopped Wm, and on asking him what he had been doing? he said-he had some words with his wife, and desired me to let him go; I let him go; I Ineked at the prisoner steadfastly; the night was light; have no doubt the prisoner is the same mrn. Thomas William Davis examined—Am a surgeon; was called to see the deceased on the night in question, at half-past ten; on examining him, I found the left side of his head lacerated over the parietal bone; on closer examination, I found it fractured, but could aot see the 'extent of the fracture that night; it was about. three inches each way; a brick might hove caused such d wound ; saw the deceased in the Infirmary, and after he died. Cross-txarisined—ln my opinion, it would be imOne- Isible that a violent fall on a heap .of bric o lcs could cause so large a wound, be lacerate the Icalp to such extent. Mary Alien said—l live in ' T homas -street, Liverpool, with the prisoner's mother; I am servant to her, and the prisonit lodged there; he is a single man ; he came on Tuesday night, the 21 of August, at 11 o'clock; hr shewed me a wound on the back of his head, soon afte. he came in, and said he had a narrow escape for his life Joseph Roche—Went on the 3d of August, about a quarter past•nine, to the hollow of the field, near the gaol, where I s.aw a great deal of blood, a large-half brick, and a piece;' the big piece had hair upon it, and was covered with blood ; there was also blood upon one, side of the small piece.--[The bricks were here pro. duced, and were in the state described by witness. Their exhibition seemed to have no effect upon the pri soner] —From the appearance of the place, there seemed to have been some struggling. Mr. Forshaw.--I have been 23 years surgeon of the Infirmary, and have been altogether about 34 years in practice. Being surgeon of the Infirmary, brings a great many cases arising from affrays before me. I have been nearly 30 years connecetd with the In& mary as pupil and surgeon. Mr. justice %mgr.—Can you, Mr. Forshaw, from the posi tion of the wound on the head, form any opinion whether the wound was caused by a fall or -a blow ? Mr. Forshaw.—Not in the least, my Lord. The prisoner being asked for his defence, gave a state ment, which nearly corresponded with what had been proved in evidence; that he bad gone into a field with a woman, and being insulted by the deceased, of whom he knew nothing, he told him he had acted unmanly, and desired him to go away; not going. he desired the nsan with him to take him, who made him no answer.* and as he was going from him tOwards the woman, he was struck with a brick on the head, which .made him bleed profusely. He then made towards the decease and threw him from him. He called the watch, a the prisoner, unwilling to be caught in a row, lest his master should know it, made 'off, but he declared that he had no more idea that the man was in the state he was than any of the Jury. He had no ill-will to the man, for he had never seen him before. ary Calton was then called.—Was in company with the prisoner on the 2d of August last, in the waste ground ; observed two men near us, one of whom, the deceased, came down to us, while the other stood on the bank. The deceased said you ar e a pretty —, taking up a brick, which he threw. at him, and cut his, elbow. The prisoner never said a word to him before he used this expression, and struck him with the brick. The prisoner went and struck him in the face, and then returned to me. The deceased then took another piece of brick, and threw it at his head, which struck him on the head and cut him ; it bled. The prisoner turned to the deceased then, and knocked him down. Mr. Oilier, a surgeon in Manchester, and in extensive practice for four years, gave it as his opinion that the fracture. might be occasioned by a heavy fall upon bricks ; he meant a throw. Thomas Lamb.—Had formerly resided in Liverpool ; was now in the police at Lancaster; lulow the prisoner for six years, and during that time he bore a good character; bad always the charac ' ter of humanity. Mr. Justice BATLEY told the Joiy, that if they were satisfied the prisoner had received provocation fiom the deceased, they must acquit him of the charge of murder. (The Jury here 'asserted that they were satis fied he receieed the first provocation.) Then the ques tion for their consideration would be, whether the evidence was sufficient to fix upon him the charge of manslaughter? His Lordship then wept thro ugh thy. remaining evidence,. and At . Ole ,conclutTon' r&ineitett the Jury to say, if they fritind . The - prisoner Guilty, whe ther they were of opinion death was caused by a blow with the brick in the hand, because this would mark the case with great malignity; - Or Whether it wai - catise4 by tbe fali,gisen by the prisoner ? • The Jury returned a verdict of ter, and natal they were of opinion that the death of was caused the fall. Mr. Justice BATLZIre—I am glad, Otudessien, you ate of that opinion. It (*Weide, with mine. The prisoner, who was a very illolooking man, was then taken front the bar. . VAILSE IMPAISO)IMZMT.-CROPPYR O. HORTO*. This was an action arising out of some squabbles at Ormskirk. The plaintiff had been summoned before the defendant, who is a Magistrate, to give evidence respecting some violent proceedings, including a charge of riot and felony, which were connected with the appointment of a deputy constable in that town. He refused to be sworn, and was consequently com mitted to the House of Correction, in which place he remained ten days. The commitment was produced and sis 4, ad Hr.

CORK, AUOUST to. EXECUTORS Of LEWIS V. THE EUROPEAN ASSUItA■cR. This cue was tried befote Baron PENNEFATHER; It was an action for the recovery of the amount of a -po. licy of insurance for 3,0001. effected on the life of the late Martin Lewis, in 1820. The policy was assigned to Mr. Hargrave, but payment of it was resisted, on the grounds that-the insured was six years older than Was mentioned in the policy, which was attempted to be proved by a reference to the parish register of Kik hanick; but it was maintained, Lewis was not tha per. son there mentioned—that he and aH his family were ever Catholics, and that it was by no means customary or usual to have the names of such enrolled in a Prines tant registry. The Jury, after half an hour's delibera tion, returned a verdict for .plaintiff, 3,0001. damages and 6d. costs. , - • BALLOON.--.MT.

The gale experienced about a fortnight since was very destructive to the fruit trees, especially' the apple, and cider has consequently risen ; the average price, it is supposed, will be 30s. per hhd.
