ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. - SHREWSBURY, Avaurr 15. RIX V. JOHN CHARLTON AND MARY SPINCIR. Mr. C. PHILLIPS said that the prosecutor was Mr. Nicholas Whitworth, an EnJi.h Gentleman, who re sided in Ireland. He had come to E igland. and was at the home of Mrs. Spencer, who kept the Eagle and Child Hotel at Holyhead, The prosecutor ha.l booked an outside place by the mail at Bangor, and bra recent regulation the packet sailed immediately after the ar rival of the mail, and it would appear that as the pro secutor was going to the snail btsat, a person named Stringer came up to the prosecutor and demanded 6s. as the fare. The plaintiff said it had been paid to Miss Jones, at Bangor ; however. he was dragged to the house of Mrs. Spencer, and Stringer said—" I will bet you five pounds that your name is not on the way-bill I" and by way of punishing Stringer, the plaintiff said he would bet him ; and the way-bill being referred to, it appeared that the name was there; and a Gentleatan, who had taken the stakes of the bet to hold, delivered the notes to the prosecutor, who proceeded to the packet to get on board, when Stringer proceeded to the mail coach, and got out the two loaded blunderbusses, and pointed one of them at the prosecutor, who ran to Mrs. Spencer's Inn, much frightened. Mrs. Spencer came into the room. She was aware that he had won Stringer's money, but she said he should have no bed in her house. This was at 2 o'clock in the morning, but the packet having sailed, the prosecutor insisted on a bed, and said—"lll am turned out to walk till morning, I shall be murdered by this fl How !" and on this Mrs. Spencer actually sent for a constable to take Mr. Whitworth into custody, be cause he insisted on a bed, which he offered to pay for. The constable came, and Mrs. Spencer ordered him, when he came to take the prosecutor into custody. The towable took the handcuffs out of his pocket ; how. ever, they were happily not put on the plaintiff, and the guard, who now assumed an altered tone, asked the five pounds back as a favour; and Mr. Whitworth, in con. sideration of his better behaviour, gave him his money back, and then Mrs. Spencer, whose only object was to get the money back for this guard by threats and inti midation, allowed Mr. Whitworth to go to his bed. The guard had been tried and convicted, and the prosecutor now sought justice against Mrs. Spencer and the con stable, who were the other parties concerned. Mr. Whitworth said—l am a corn dealer tesiding at Drogheda; I am an Englishman by birth ; I had taken a place from Bangor to Holyhead, which I had paid fur. On my arrival at Holyhead, I was walking to• wards the packet, which sails between two and three o'clock in the morning. As I was walking to the packet, Stringer, the guard of the mail, came up and said I had not paid my fare. I said I had, and that my name and the money were entered in the way-bill. He began to swear, and said I must pay. On my refusing to pay, he took hold of me and dragged me to the Inn of the defendant, Mrs. Spencer. When we got near the house, he said he would bet me five pounds that I had neither paid my fare, nor had my name in the way-bill. I said "D , ne." He still kept hold of me, and dragged me into the bar. He put a five-pound note on the table, and I put a ten pound note (not having a five-pound note), and covered it with that. A Gentlemaa present, who was a traveller, held the money at my request. Stringer made no objection to his so doing. Stringer then pulled the way-bill out of his own pocket, and I pointed my name out in it, and the money entered as paid. The Gentleman said I had wen, and handed me the money. S ringer said, " You are not going to keep my five pounds, are ye?" I said, "I have no five pounds of yours—l have five pounds I won of you; and that I shall keep." I got out of the bar, Stringer having dashed me -against the wall. He then swore that I should never quit the place till I had given him the five pour ds, and he dashed me against the wall a second time. I got into the travellers' room as soon as I could, I staid there fifteen or twenty minutes, till I thought Stringer was gone, and.l then proceeded towards the packet. Stringer came up to the again, and seized me, and swore that I should never go till I had paid my fare and the five pounds, and if I diA not he would shoot me. He ran to the coach, and got the large pistols, such as the guards carry. He came towards me, and presented one of them at me. A woman came up, and turned his arm away, a lying, 44 For Gon's sake, man, what are you going to do?" I was much frightened, and ran back to the only house which was open, which was the hotel kept by Mrs. Spencer. I got into the ,travellers' room, and fastened myself in. The waiter and Mrs. Spencer and one or two women came in.— Dirs. Spencer said, What is all this noise and disturb ance about ? I told her that the guard had attempted to shoot me. Mrs. Spencer said, I cannot have my house disturbed in this way, you must leave it. I said, licannot. Would you have me go into the street to be murdered by that ruffian ? She persisted in saying that I must go. I said she had better let me go to bed quietly. She said, It you won't go out I must send for a constable. She did so, and a constable named Charl ton came. Mrs. Spencer said she wanted me taken out of the house, as 'I would not go out. I said I would not go out" . to meet that fellow, and have my brains blon n out in the street. The constable said, You must go—you see what Mre. Spencer's orders are. I told the constable that I feared to leave the house. The constable said he knew his duty. I said he had better do his duty ; it was neither English nor Irish authority, and I would not submit to Welch authority. Atter that I said, shew your authority; and he put a staff and a pair of handcuffs on the table, and said he would handcuff me and take me to the lock-up. He unscrewed the handcuffs, and did his best to put them on. I resisted effectually. After this the constable said to Mrs. Spencer, I must have more assistance to handcuff him. I did not strike the con stable. I never struck any one in my life but my own 'children. Stringer, the guard, came in, and I appealed to the constable and Mrs. Spencer to protect me. Stringer then asked in a civil way that I would give fam the five pounds back, and he begged as a favour that I would give him the money, as it would ruin bilis, the moat y not being his own. I did so. In an hour after Mn. Spencer let we go to bed. Cross examined—There was a considerable noise. I won't swear that the chairs were not upset. Mrs. Spencer is about sixty, and she said she could not have Ler house distut bed at that time of night. f won't swear that I was told that the house was full. Mrs. Spencer said the noise had brought ber down stairs. Ann Price did not offer me a bed at her house. There was no civility. I was not asked civilly to leave the house, Examined . by the Learned Batton—The bed I got into was a made tip one. It was not a warm bed that some Gentlem in had got out or to make Mom for me. —Mr. Sergeant ItossEt.t. addressed the Jury for the defendants. Ann Price said—l am cook at Mrs. Spencer's hotel. Oa the night . in que,tion there was a great noise. The hotel was quite full. Mrs. Spencer, who had gone to bed, got up and said, What noise is this?—l thought the house was on fire. I told he: that a man who came by the mail had got a five-pound note belonging to the guard. She said that such a man should not remain in the house among all the Gentlemen's luggage. Is was the guard who fetched the constable. Two Gentlemen who had ordered beds went away by the mail. I offered the prosecutor a bed at my house. Mrs. Spea• cer was not in the room when the prosecutor and constable were. • Mr. C. PHILLIPS replied. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN left the case to the Jury, on the question whether ther_believed the evidence ad- duced on the part of the prosecution, or the evidence called for the defence; and his Lordship remarked that it was exceedingly singular that Mrs. Spencer, who, like all other persons who were in the same line of business, lived by the guests who frequented their houses, should pursue a line of conduct likely to drive them a way. The Jury, after a shalt consultation, acquitted both the defendants. LEWES, AUGUST 14. Henry Norman was indicted for a burglary and rob bery, in the dwelling-house of Nicholas Yeomans, at Maresfield, in the night of the 13th of May last. A man, named Henry Hart, had been jointly ind cted with him fur the same offence, but the Grand Jury threw out the bill against him. The prosecutrix, Mrs. Yeomans, a very aged woman, was the first witness called. She stated, that on Sunday evening, the 13rh of May, she and her husband, since de ceased, were the only persons in their house ; her husband , was confined to his bed by illness, and she was reading the Bible in the adjoining room; there was a candle burning in each room; between eleven and twelve the : door of the room she sat in, which opened into the road, was burst open wi:h great violence, and two men rushed into the room, each armed with a bludgeon. They were both strangers to her, but one of them she had since ascer tained to be Norman, the prisoner. Norman came up to her and siid, "Don't wag or stir; it will be the worse for you if you do; if you make a noise I'll have. your brains out, and cut yea' down in two—stir if you dare ; there are more outside to help roe." Alarmed at these menaces, she remairled sil lit, and Norman then asked her what money >he had ? She replied only a few halfpence, and put her hand into her pocket for the purpose of giving him what money she had ; when he said, " Curse your hand—take it away, and let me put mine in." He then put his hand into her pocket, and emptied it of it; contents, which he put into his own. The other man, who had stood by all this time, then reached down a watch which was hanging over the man tle shelf, and gave it toNorman,who put that also into his pocket. The other man then went outside the door,where he continued, apparently on the watch ; and Norman having repeated his threats of destruction if she moved from her chair, went into the adjoining room, where her husband lay in bed. She could hear distinctly where she sat all that paved in the other room ; she heard Norman go to the bed, and wi h abusive language (too bad for repetition), asixtd her husband for his property ; he replied he had none; Norman said, "Cur se you, let's see *hat sort of a shirt you've got on; nt have that shirt off your old back ;" her husband replwsl. " Oh, pray don't abuse rise ; pray don't strip me;" she thin heard two blows given, and heard Norman say,' If you stir, or make any alas m, you shall both be done tor;" both the men then returned into the room where she was, and stripped k of all the property it contained, and they then both went away, Norman saying," It you dare to raise any alarm, I shall leave some men to Watch you, and they shall Jo for you both ;" in about an hour or two she went to Mr. Wheatley, a triend, who lived a little way off, and lie came and examined the house, and she described to him 0 en very particularly the person of Norman. The next day being Uckfield fair, she and Mr. Wheatley went to the fair, and there, among a large crowd of people, she pointed out to Mr. Wheatley, Norman as the man who had robbed her, and he was immediately apprehended ; when pressed as to her knowledge of Nor man's person, she swore most po sitively to him, saying—" As sure as GOD created the world, I am sure Norman is the man " Mr. Wheatley confirmed the evidence of the last wit ness, so far as it related to himself. lie added, that he was present at th:. Chequers public•house, at Mare field, with Norman and his lather and mother, and heard the conversation which took place. Norman said to his mother, See, m. titer, what a mess I have got into ; I shall be done now." Ilia mother answered, " Ah, that cursed fair ! I told you how it would be; 1 told you not to go." Norman then desired his mother to go for Jesse Moon, for he could prove that he (Norman) was at home all the Sunday night ; adding, " you know, mother. I was at home all that night." The deposition of the deceased Mr. Yeomans, taken before Mr Day, a Magistrate, was then put in and read in evidence. It described the conduct of Norman to himself much in the same terms as his wife had previ ously done; but adding, that when he begged Norman not to strip him of his shirt, No:man s•rock him a vio lent blow with his bludgeon ; and he therein swore most positively to the person of Norman. This was the case oa the part of the prosecution. For the prisoner an alibi was set up, but it completely failed. Mr. Justice PARK summed up the case to the Jury, recapitulating the *hole of the evidence with the most' exactness, and the most anxious impartiality. The Jury, after a few minute.' deliberation, found the prisoner Guilty, and the Learned Judge, in the most impressive manner, immediately passed upon him the awful sentence of de.th, beseeching bins to look for mercy to a heavenly Judge,as it was impossible that any mercy could be extended to him on this side the grave. The prisoner, as he was being removed from the dock, solemnly asserted his innocence; but he heard the sentence of death unmoved. A few days since a melancholy accident occurred at Southwold. Se►eral of the family of the Re►. H. S. Trimmer were on the pier with some friends, when a favourite dog was taken by the current on the sand-bank, which at low water extends some 'way into the sea. Mr. Watson, a young Gentleman of about 17 years of age, one of the party, immediately exclaimed, 44 I will go and bring him out ;" and had nu sooner uttered the words, than he sprang forward, quite unconscious of his danger. The sand, although nearly dry. was insufficient to support his weight, and he was in a moment precipitated in the deep, never to rite again from thencc.--Sufulk Chronicle. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-G R DEN. Yesterday J. Robins, a master bsker in Lisson Grove, was fined 40s. for annoying Mr. Gibbs, Solicitor, of Southampton-buildings. The parties met on the Ealing-road, each in a chaise, when the man of dough challenged the man of law to trot his big horse against his (defendant's) lime pony ; and on the former's refusal, be contrived to cross and jostle him several times, so as once to throw his horse on its haunches, and thereby endanger his life. Defendant imputed his misconduct to having wetted his dough too copiously, and plain tiff requested his share of the penalty might be deposited in the poor's boa, which was dons accordingly. M A RLBOROUGH-STREET. In consequence of the publicity given to the application of Mr. Lang, a gun dealer, in the Haymarket, relating to the Honourable Clive, Mr. Jackson, a livery-stable-keeper, in Grange-toad, Bermondsey, Waited upon Mr. Lang, and claimed the horse and gig which had been left by the swindler in the custody of Mr. Lang 'a porter. Mr. Jackson said, that on Saturday morning a person, having the appearance of a Gentleman, called at his stables and ordered a horse and gig to be got ready as speedily as possible, he having some business of the utmost importance to attend to. He said that his name was Dixon, that he was a wine merchant in the city, and that his offices were in Mark-lane •in fact, said Mr. Jackson, be assumed so much importance that I felt satisfied in my own mind that his representations were correct, and I hurried the ostler to get the horse and chaise ready, and the Gentleman drove off. I was so satisfied with hi. appearance tb.t I did not ask him for guy reference, nor to pay for the hire ; but the horse and chaise not having been returned at the stipulated time, I became alarmed, I inquired in the city, but could not find Mr. Dixon, and the only information I got of iny property was in consequence of Mr. Lang 's application having been reported in the Newspapers. The horse and harness which Mr. Lang has in his possession are mine, but the chaise has been exchanged for one of a very inferior descriptiOn. Mr. Lang said he had discovered that his gun had been pledged with Mr. Archbutt, of Westminster. He had no objection to give up the horse and gig provided his gun was restored. Mr. Drag said it was a matter with which he could not inter fere. lithe property had been stolen he could have compelled the parties who had them in their possession to give them up. Mr. Lang had a claim on the bone and gig until Ms gun was restored.— In conclusion the worthy Magistrate said, he lamented that persons were to be found who parted with their property upon the mere representation of a man who lived by plunder. Mr. Lang said be would redeem his gun, and if he found Mr. Jackson's statement was correct, he would return him the horse and gig. Mr. Batador, proprietor of an eating-house in Vine-street, Piccadilly, was summoned for having sold beer without a licence. Two witnesses, named Goodman and Podger, that they went into the defendant's' house it dine, and called for two pints of porter, which were brought to them by the waiter. Mr. Batche lor denied selling any beer himself. As several of hie customers wished to have beer at their dinner, Sherwood, a publican, had, at his (31r.8.'5) request, sent a gallon into the room, and it was served out as required. He, however, was not answerable for the money, or for any damage which might be done to the pots or the can.— Mr. Sherwood corroborated his statement, and said be had paid the boy's wages who carried the beer into the room. h Mr. Dyes said that he was bouq.l, under the Act of Parliament, to convict the defendant ; all he could do was to mitigate the pe. nalty to 104.—The defendant was therefore tined 104. but he gave notice of appeal. fil A IRY-L &BONNE. _ _ Wm. Edwards, the driver of a hackney chariot, was charged by Mr. Dane, of Great Portlasui-street, with furious driving acid mis conduct. The charge was supported by the evidence of a watch man; but, in consequence of the defendant giving fitteen shillings to the Office poor box, and paying the costs, it was not pressed against him, and he was discharged. QUEEN-SQUARE. Tex ItrrAcs.—lriliiant Eichandans, a private in the Coldstream Guards, was charged with having sent a challenge to a youth named Edward Dugherty, a paper:stainer, in Jews row, CLelsea. It ap peared that Dogherty had fallen in love with a damsel in Blue An. chor-court, to whom be paid his addresses, and had made her sun: dry presents of ribbons and pincushions, and had likewise become answerable to a tallyman for the amount of a sovereign's worth of goods to decorate her person. Richardson, however, bad suc ceeded in winning her affections, and when he met Dogherty he knocked- him down, and kicked bins. Dogherty complained to the commanding Officer, but got no redress, and Itichardson theta sent him the following challenge: "Sur—The 13 of Argust i take Theis plesur of writin awls to lines to send you a cbalgnes To mete you bang ware you Pleas to send word to mete at your time and place, but not wen i am on duty, and Sick your bid brotber with you and yourself, for 1, dater like to take an insult form you nor no suck rubbish form Jews-row, you clammed to hour barakes to think for to cam over me, but it wood, not doe, i understknd you was at Misses Morris house Agin on Sunday win you thought I was on gard, but it would not doe, so now take a warning form me. " WILLIAM RICMAIDSON, a Soldier." " And if you are not satisfyd i wil chalgens your brother." " To Cbrlsca, Jews row, Eden!. Dogherty.' Richardson conducted himself very improperly before the Magis trate, admitted having knocked Dogherty down, and said lie would du it again. lie was ordered to find good bail. UNION-HALL. Thomas Stagg, one of the crew belonging to a vessel called the Deception, which was seized Last week for conveying smuggled tobacco to this country, was again brought before the Magistrate. On board the vessel were bound 5,954 lbs. of tobacco. Stagg, in his defence, said that he was engaged on board the De ceprion, by the Captain, who described the vessel as a pleasure yacht, and said that she was bound to Margate, ltamsgate, and other watering places along the coast. They sailed from the river, and when the Captain got out to sea, he shaped his course for the Dutch coast, :lid on their arrival at Flushing, the tobacco in question was brought on board. The prisoner, on seeing the boats containing the tobacco, insisted upon receivipg something for the risk, and the Captain promised him four pounds over and above his pay: He had, however, not received one farthing. The prisoner then pro- ceeded to give the names of the parties implicated in the transaction. The Solicitor of the Customs said, that Stagg had given every information its his power ; there was no doubt he was the dupe of others, who always left such poor creatures as the prisoner to their fate in the event of a seizure being made. The prisoner, however, had given such information as would lead eventually to the appre hension of persons deeply implicated in smuc t ling. When they were taken he would be liberated. WORS fl I P.ST REET. Yesterday a wandering Italian minstrel, seemingly between 40 l and 50 years of age, whose tattered covering and whole appearance were indicative of extreme misery, was brought before the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. BIUMIT, from the Islington watchhouse, on wispi don of having committed a robbery. Grafton, the watchhouse keeper, stated, that the man was brought to him between twelve and one o'clock, by one of the watchmen, who bad found him travelling with a small organ, and a bundle consisting of a quantity of wearing apparel. The witness searched him, and in the skirt of his ragged jacket, sewed In between the pocket and the lining, found a small bag, containing 16 sovereigns, and £3 10s. in hall crowns. He could give no ac count of himself in the language of the watchhouse people, and the ' officer conceiving that such a wretched looking being could not have become honestly possessed of so much property, detained hint for examination before the Magistrates. An Italian, resident in the neighbourhood of the office was I sent for, to act as interpreter for the detenu, who, it appeared, is a native of Genoa, and has travelled with his organ through great part of England. A►l that could be learned with respect to the property was, that he had purchased the apparel produced, which, by the way, appeared to be of no great value. The interpreter admitted that he knew not what to make of his countryman, whose language was such a mixture of dialects that he could understand but little that he taid.—The Italian was detained for further examination. Norris SMIZLDS Nix/a—Friday, before H. H. Baaanusto, W. HIANDLING, and W. %LIGHT, Esquires, Thomas Coffins, Joh* Awry, and Thomas Dews m, were convicted in damages and costs, for trespassing and stealing peas in the fields belonging to Mr. Scott, of Shitentoor.

William Morris, ship-master, WAS charged by two of his men, named Thompson and Downing, for refusing to pay wages due to them whilst working on board of his ship, and was adjudged to pay the same with costs. Jdhn Thompson, of the Lowlights, fisbermsn, was committed to the House of Correction at Tynemouth for want of sureties, fur an assault on Mary Ann Driskell. James Brisk, who stood charged with stealing a quantity of nails from gleams.
