1 I . gtrksEN ASSIZES, • „II a . BAIDGEWATER, AUGUST 12. • 31111.111 , !MALIN°. ireter Brooks and Robert Brooks,. who ;Were father and son, were put to the bar, charged with having felo niously stolen, on the Ist of June, at the parish of Cheddar,• in this county, two sheep, of the value of forty shillings, the property of Edward Cole. The indictment contained two other counts, in one of which the sheep *ere described as the property of the Right Hon. Henry Baron Mendip, and the last as the property of the Right Hon. Henry Welbore Ellis, Vis count Clifden (since created Baron Mendip). Mr. GUNNING stated the case on the part of the pro secution. The prosecutor, Edward Cole, was a re• tpectable farmer, residing at Compton Martin, and had "engaged in the eeding of sheep to a very large extent, so that perhaps the number he kept might amount to nearly 1000. The prisoners were farmers. The elder of them lived at Cheddar, and rented a farm there of 601.. a year. The younger prisoner was the son of the former, and resided with his father. The prisoners kept a number of sheep, and as the land they occu pied adjoined that of the prosecutor, the sheep of the two parties frequently fed on opposite sides of the Cheddar Cliffs i Cole's sheep be . ng kept in an inclosure on the lett hand side, and priscner's sheep being fed on some pasture land at the right hand side of the cliffs. It was perhaps necessary that the Jury should know the marks which etch party placed upon his own sheep, to distinguish them from others. The prosecutor had the top of the near ear cut off from his sheep, and a circular hole formed in the middle of the off ear. In addition - tothis they were marked with red ochre, and some of them were also marked with pitch on both I sides, with the letter 0 E." surrounded by a circle.— Up to 1822 the mark used by Walter Brooks had been a pitched mark of "J. Y.' on each side, with two streaks of red ochre across one of the s!toulders. In 1822, he purchased of the prosecutor six sheep, which were marked in the way already described as Mr. Cole's property. After that purchase, the elder prisoner Vegas, to use a mink very similar to that employed by the prosecutor. The loiter he now marked was a " B." surrounded by a circle, which differed from the circle drawn by the prosecutor round his initial in this, that it had at the top some slight ornament, which had at tittle distance, ren-fered the similarity of the two Marks extremely great. In the month of April last, the prosecutor putl2 of h is sheep, which had been marked in the usual manner, into an inclosure on the left side of Cheddar Cliffs. In June following, he took all his sheep, or at least such of them as he could find, from this inclosure, and drove them to his farm at Compton Martin to have them washed. When they arrived there they were counted, and he then discovered, that out of the number he bad originally placed there, no less than 33 were missing. He instantly set on foot a vet,' strict inquiry, but could gain no information respecting them, until the 20th of June, when -in consequence of certain information he had received, he went to one of the pieces of pasture ground occupied by the prisoners, and there he found six of his ewes. Two of the ewes thus discovered formed the subject of the present in dictment. He returned almost immediately, procured warrant, and on the following day he went to take • possession of his six sheep. He also gave information • against the two prisoners at the bar, and caused they 'to be apprehended. The son was the first apprehended, 'and %Oren the prosecutor went into the field where he , eras, to take him into custody, prosecutor feigned that lie came to arrest him under an order of filiation. The prisoner, however, was not deceived by this manceuvie, for he answered immediately, " I know what you are come to - take me up for ; it is for sheep-stealing, but I'll be cursed if I ever stole a sheep in my lite; the young' Man was then conveyed to an inn at Cheddar, aehiti et the father was shortly afterwards brought in custody. The prisoners being thus together, in the presence of the prosecutor and some other persons, the sheep were shewn to them, and instantly acknowledged and claimed by them as their property. The elder prisoner said at the time, that his sun had purchased the sheep for him at the Wells fair, in the preceding August,- and the son directly confirmed the statement; they, were dam taken before a Magistrate, and the sheep again shewn them, and they a second time re peateile4m4 claim. That claim was unfounded by the Ida that these sheep were seen in the prosecutor's field, in the middle of May, and were afterwards found in the prisoner's pasture-ground in June following, which_ rendered it impossible that they could have been pur chased at Wells fair, held in the preceding August. When the sheep were recovered, part, of the marki sialtite on them .by Mr. Cole were found to have been srp/Ossed`te remain, but the F mark on the off ear was Aeatly obliterated, the ear-having been cut down so as almost to 'destroy the' hole which formed one of Mr. 0,014 diatinguishing marks. The horns of the two ewes, which formed the subject of the present indict ment, bad been marked •' W. B." in letters which had been very recently stamped. These facts were proved by the prosecutor and other witnesses. The prosecutor admitted, that when he took the sheep he washed and sheared them, and the marks were obliterated. For the def.nce it was contended, that the prosecutor was unable to recognize the sheep. The prisoners received a good character. The Jury consulted together for a abort time, and then returned • verdict of Guilty against both the prisoners but recommended them to mercy on account of their previous g ood character. The prosecutor joined in the recommendation to mercy. There were three other indictments against these prisoners for the same kind of offence, but after this conviction they were not proceeded in. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. EVANS V. BULPIN. The above case of breach of promise of marriage was expected to have conic on in this Court yesterday, but to the great disap pointment of the female part of the assembly it was agreed to be referred for the second time. ! ~~ WILMONT V. BRVFORD. The defendant pleaded the general issue. Mr. Serjeant PELL stated the case to the Jury. It must be allowed that actions such as the present are not very agreeable in their nature to either of the par ties interested in their event. The present action was one of this description, which a,young Lady had been obliged to commence against the defendant, in conse qaence of his refusing to make good an engagement which lie had entered into to marry the plaintiff, a young Lady now about 25 or 24 years of age, and of considerable personal - attractions. The young Lady, the plaintiff in this action, was the daughter of a highly respeetabk Gentleman, and the defendant was a farmer egyarriderable property, two or three years elder. It appeared to be in every respect a suitable snatch, and, all things considered, the defendant seemed to be a per ms) calculated, in the event of their union, to make the plaantiff happy. At the very moment, however, when the defendatt, after having raised the fondest expecte- • ons of his elicit was feeding hei hopes frith die pros pect of the speedy fulfilment of his promises, he had actually paid his addresses to another Lady, and was larding this other individual to entertain hopes Whitt' were, in their turn, also doomed to be disappointei. He relied 'principally upon the defendant's letters to ex plain to the Jury the manner in which the acquaintance between the parties hatoriginated, continued, and been carried on. The brit was one dated 24d April, l 85111; and in it the defendant announced the nature of his in tentions towards the plaintiff. It was as follows: " Hill Farm April Mt, " My Draft Fatexo—The pleasures of friendship are little known by a greedy"—(Here, said the Learned Serjeant, the expression seems somewhat odd, but as I And it in the letter I must read it to you. I thought at first the word might have been 4.4 giddy," and the expression which immediately follows tended to confirm me in my opinion. But on closer examination it seems to be spelled "greedy," and I am bound to take that to be the word.) Mr. C. F. WILLIAMS intimated that in his opinion the word was intended for giddy, but the defendant, who appeared . to disregard the pedantic trammels of orthography, spelled it guidg, which, from the careless ness of the penmanship, strongly .resembled greedy. Mr. Serjeant PELL—The letters were all couched in the language of passion—a language not very in telligible t 9 other than the parties more immediately concerned. They might be supposed to be capable of understanding it, simply because they were lovers, but the greater part of those epistles must be nearly unin telligible to himself, o; even to his Learned Friend on the other side (Mr. Islerewrather), although they too. in their time, had been lovers. But he would not trifle any lenger with the impatience of the Jury, who must be quite on edge to hear the remainder of do epistle, the commencement cif which promised so well.— Well, then— " The pleasures of friendship are little known by a greedy un thinking world. I receive more pleasure in writing to you than I do any one else, for the pleasure I enjoy in your company both corms to make me your sincerest friend. Nothing will give me so much pleasure as to hear from yourself that you are well, and can I say happy ? If you are not happy lam not so. Your beauty and accomplishments have captivated my bean, whilst I avow myself to become your true and sincere friend. 1 would not, my dear Caroline, offer any direct address that should have the least incon. sistency with your duty to your parents, and this rather emboldens me to request the favour of an evening's conversation at your first convenience, when I'll snore fully explain myself, as I earnestly hope to your satisfaction. " An answer to thik by the bearer, E. Burford, will infinite oblige—then let me now conclude in hopes of meeting your appro bation. " Your affectionate and sincere friend, " RICHARD BIWFORD." From the tenour of this letter and the mystical word "corona" in the commencement of it, which it was to be supposed was a slight transformation for creams (and very indifferent sense it would still make, if that conjectural reading were true), it would seem as if this love-sick shepherd felt the sentiment of the poet, when be said that— " Love was the top and crown of our affections r' That was good ! and the request for an evening's chat was still better! Evening was your only time for love, particularly if it was moonlight ! Let the moon be bright or clouded; if the latter it was all the better. Well, there was a good deal of ground to be passed over, so he most reluctantly leaves this epistolary gem as other pearls of equal value remained to be disposed of. The next he would read to the Jury was a diamond of the first water. It was dated about four months after the last, and from it it would appear that the lover and his love had unfortunately disagreed about some trifling affair or other—some of those light clouds that occa sionally overcast the amatory horizon—and the le.tet appeased to be written for the purpose of effecting a re conciliation. Perhaps Mr. Bruford bad perpetrated some sin of omission or commission, or uttered some unconsidered trifle, for which be thought it necessary to offer the following atonement. Here it was— .. West Monkton, Aug.ls, 11144. " DICARIST Ciactutis—l have taken my pen in basil to write to my dear girl, to entreat on her friendship to pardon me for addres sing her as I did on Saturday last. But after hearing what I did, m I informed you, I thought it prudent to know each otber's deter mination ;'but not finding you will comply with my request. I shall not again question you on that subject. Certainly I shall not wish yen to refrain from speaking to any young man. Had I not a par. tkalar regard for you, I should not have paid you the respect and attention I have at all times whenever I have bad the pleasure of being with you. Although you may not believe it, I canoes help saying I felt much hurt and disappointed in not having the pleasure of your company or seeing you on Sunday. E. B. with myself certainty bad promised ourselves a voids, but how could I have en yed it without you? We have now postponed the wide for Sunday week next. In case it meet your approbation to join with us on Sunday next, we shall expect to see you at our house, whete I hope to meet you,my dear girl, in better spirits that when I saw you last. Mrs. Hickman was at our house on Tuesday last, who informed me that you were gone with some other person to Romer., to see the grand performance which was to take place. I instantly took my horse, and scrods down. I saw your brother James, who informed me you was not there. I then was satisfied with the propriety of your conduct towards me in not going without my knowledge, as I should have been happy to have escorted you there. 1 must now conclude, in hopes of receiving a letter from you by the bearer. " I remain, dear Caroline, your ever true and sincere Friend, " RICHARD BRUFORD." The same kind of correspondence was kept up on the part of the defendant for some months longer, and he even went so far as to make inquiries as to the amount of Miss Wilmoat's fortune, which he was given to understand, by the young Lady's mother, was 5001. Mr. Bruford approved of the sum, and expressed his determination to accept it and her daughter's hand ; however, on the 9th of August, he broke off the match. The following witnesses were called for the plaintiff: Mrs. Martha Wilmont—l am mother of the plaintiff, and am acquainted with Mr. Bruford, the defendant. He resided at our house in 1822. At the commence ment, the defendant's acquaintance with my daughter did not receive my approbation. I recollect afterwards having conversations with him respecting his intentions towards my daughter. I remember the Sometset As sizes of 1823 ; about that time I had a particular con versation with the defendant on the same subject. The conversation occurred at my own house. I had been here on business, and defendant drove me home in his gig. It was on that occasion he coke with me on the subject of the marriage-settlements ; the conversation took place after tea. We had previously talked together about my daughter's fortune. Mr. Broford proposed to settle 1,0001. on my daughter, and wished me to select the attorney who was to draw up the marriage articles. I mentioned my own solicitor, who lived at Ilchester, and as defendant thought that too far for him, he pro posed to choose some attorney perfectly indifferent to both parties, and who should know nothing of either family. Defendant asked me what I intended to give ,my daughter? I replied 5001. on the day of her mar riage. He was aware of my intentions as to my daught ter`s fortune before we spoke of the settlement. On that occasion I repeated what I had previously said,l and he approved of it. Defendant remarked, when talking of the settlement he intended to make, that if l' entertained any doubts as to his ability to make i., I might go to his attorney, Mr. Kingley, who he said was well acquainted with his affairs, and would satisfy , me on • that point. I declined doing so, at the same tittle Saying that t gist hot thistic it heeessart, is I fan no teason to doubt the truth of his i-epresintations. This conversation took place oh Thursday, August 7, and defendant app o inted the following Saturday, at 11 o'clock, as the, day for concluding the settlement. Mr. Bruford had visited my daughter nearly two years; he visited her almost a tear before marriage was talked of. At that time I lived at Welton, not far from Taunton. On the Saturday appointed for the settle ment, defendant did not come. Mr. Bruford never entered my door afterwards. My family consists of eight children. Mr. Henry 'Ratchford Shillibearel have known the plaintiff since her childhood, and she is now twenty. live years of age. I resided at Taunton in 1822. Miss Wilmont and Mr. Bruford visited together at my house, and lalwaysconsidded them as lover s,because they acted as such. In the earlier part of 1823, I convet sed with Mr. Bruford respecting his marriage with the plaintiff. He informed me he was engaged to marry her, and that her mother, Mrs. Wilmont, had undertaken to give Caroline 5001. He said he intended making a hand some settlement on her out of his own property ; and asked me WI thought Mrs. Wilmont hid the power t - s advance the 5001. undtr the father's will ? My reply to this question was, " Mrs. Wilmont was a person of con siderable property; but I did not know the particulars of the wi:l to which he. alluded." I ask:d the dkrendan• what day was flied for the wedding ? and he told me s he should let' me know, as I was to be pre s ent ott the occasion. Mr. Maaewernau addressed the Jury fur the defendant. Mr. Justice Dwain= charged the Jury, who retired, and after a consultation of nearly two hours, returned a verilizt for the plain tiff—Damages £550. MULLINGAR ASSIZES. THE KING AT THE PROSECUTION CF THE MARQUIS OF WESTMEATH V. WILLIAM VAIRLItY. William Faitlei stood indicted for that he, on the Ist of February last, did forcibly and unlawfully, at Balla. shea, in said county, take and carry away two sticks and one door, value sixpence, the properly of the Marquis of Westmeath. Christopher Hannan sworn, and examined by Mr. MARTLRY.—Lives on said lands; is a carpenter; the prisoner was a tenant on said lands, and he left the same in February last, arid then took away the door of the cabin and put annther door in its place ; also took two sticks that were in the roof of a cowhouse that fell down. On his cross-examination he admitted that the pri soner was tenant to the lands for above thirty years; that he thcn built the cabin and cow house ; that the prisoner was noticed by Lord Westmeath to quit the lands last October, and accordingly did so, and long before he went the cow house fell down. Here the JUDOS (the Lord Chief Baron) interfered, and asked did the Counsel for the Crown mean to per severe ia the prosecution? that it appeared the prisoner was con6ned since 21st March, two days alter last Assizes, although the offence was alleged to be com mitted in February ; that the Magistrate ought not to have taken such informations or committed the prisoner for a felony. The Jury, under the direction of the Judge, instantly acquitted the_prisonerorko was thereupon discharged. He was a man upwards of 70 years of age. YORK AUGUST MEETING. FIFTEI DAY—FRIDAY. After Thursday's races a great number of the higher class of visitors left Yotic, consequently Knavesmire, to-day, did not present so brilliant a scene as before ; there were very few of the splendid equipages which on the former days excited so much admiration, the only carriage and six on the Course being the Archbishop of York's ; there were some others with foul., but alto. gether the number of vehicles was very small. The most important races having been determined, those who remained did so only for amusement, as there is no interest attaching to the running of the horses for to day and to-morrow beyond the moment ; as not above one or two horses were engaged in the St. Leger, or any other important Stakes, the attendance of specta tors in general was also very limited. The Grand Stand was almost wholly occupied by betting men, who seemed to be more occupied in laying on, and paying off for the Doncaster St. Leger, squaring books &c. than in speculating on the day!: sport. The betting since yesterday has been brisk, and in favour of Homer more decidedly than yesterday even ing ; a day's consideration of the manner in which the race was won and decided, of the horses opposed to him, and of the generally received opinion that he might have won in a canter, have confirmed the very favourable opinion which the best judges have formed of him ; and there is very little doubt that he ere long, become first favourite, it being thought that Mem noninust go back. The other horses remain nearly as before, Cleveland, as usual, veering about like a wea thercock. In little better than a month this great stakes will be decided, and with it the fate of many who have risked everything upon it; there are jet many horses in the back ground, about whom little is known, and it would not be either a new or a surprising circumstance if one of them should seal the ruin of hundreds by beating all those fancy horses upon whom hundreds of thousands are depending ; this was the case in 1811, when Mr. Gascoyne's Soothsayer, with the odds at one thousand to ten against him, beat twenty-three others. In 1812, Mr. Rob's Otterington, at 1000 to 10, beat twenty-three others.. In 1816 Mr. B. It. Graham's Duchess of Leven, at similar odds, beat 19 others. In 1819, Antonio at 80 to 1, beat IS others. In 1822, the knowing entry were again floored by all their fa vourites (in number 22), being defeated by Theodore, against whom the odds ran extremely high; all this proves, that in " glorious uncertainty," the Turf may at least rival the Law. The latest Betdng is as follows Se. Lmea.-5k to 1 apt Memnon, ik to 1 apt Alderman, 5 to 1 lesst Homer, 9 to 1 apt Redgauntlet, le to 1 agst Cleveland, it; to apt Whisker, 18 to 1 apt Addy, 20 to 1 agst Trinculo, 22 to 1 apt Dauntless, 50 to 1 apt Pastime ; high odds apt any other. Throughout the week, the Course has been so well kept, and the police so well on the alert, that scarcely any accidents have occurred, and very little annoyance sustained from the pickpockets. The Theatre, during the. week, has been very well attended, and many of the last new pieces from London have been respectably performed by a good company. Cooke's Circus has also its share of patronage. _ The day's sport, which was tolerable, will be found accurate as under : A Sweepstakes of 20 son. each, p. p. with 50 added by the Innkeepers and their Friends, for 4 yr old colts, eat. 21b. and fillies, est.

LAST DAY, SATURDAT. The August Meeting has this day terminated, and whether we consider it as to the excellence of the sport, or the number and rank of its visitors, or a meeting of pleasure or business, it has seldom been surpassed. Few races possess greater attractions to sporting men, for the hones are invariably of the best, and create an in terest beyond the moment, from the importance of their subsequent engagements, and there is hot a Race Course in the kingdom which is more hrnoured by the attendance of rank and fashion, or More fascinating in its appearance on a Race-day : the attendance of some of the most respectable of our Nobility, in carriages and six, not only give a flattering idea of the wealth and prosperity of the county, but carry us baCk, with pleasing recoils ctions, to times gone by ; and to those who, for a first time, have visited this great City, the scene must have been at once novel and gratifying. The events of some of the races have been important to the sporting world, in the criteria which they have afforded for future speculations, and though in two or three instances the knowing gentry have paid for their information, it will be little regretted, as it enables theist to make their future engagements with greater certainty. The running tki; week has been made by the outsides for the St. Leger, of whom the btst have been selected, and of whom many more will come out of Pontefract. The betting since Friday has resolved itself as follows, by which it will be seen that Memnon is now at par with the second favourite, Trinculo and Cleveland having got up a little :- 10 to 3 agst Memnon ; 8 to 1 on Alderman ; 8 to 1 apt Hornet; 9to 1 agst Redgauntlet ; 16 to 1 agst Cleveland; 18 to 1 apt Addy; 18 to 1 opt 'Lineal° ; 30 to 1 apt Dauntless; 100 to 11 apt Duke of Leeds's Lot; 100 to 3 apt Mr. lleuldsworth's Lot; 40 to 1 apt Pastime. The Course to-day was not well attended, as, like • all Saturday meetings at York, the visitors consisting of people frond the sir rounding country, were obli ged to be at market, nor was any extraordinary sport expected. In our account of the visitors We have omitted to mention the name of his Grace the Duke of Rik land, who has honoured the Ruts by his preserve. A Handicap for Doncaster, of 24 says. each, for four year olds, and upwards, has been subscribed to, and the following horses entered:— Mr. Lambton's Cedric, fist. 61b. Mr. Lampton's Buzzard, est.

All of the Masonic Lodges of Pa. is have opened subscriptions in favour of the Greeks. At a late Meeting of that called the Bonne Union, a considerable sum was collected, which was immediately placed at the disposal of the Society •in favour of the Greeks.-- A subscription for this purpose has also been opened at Gannat, in the department of the Allier, and ano ther at Riom. . • h public inquiry has taken place at Dukinfield, into the nature of the sudden death of FRANCIS Dustrartat.n ASTLRY, Esq. which had been calumniously reported to have been caused by foul means. It turned out that there had not existed the slightest grounds for suspect - ing such an occurrence. CORN EXCHANGE, MARE-LANE, AUGUST 15.
