ASSIZE INTELLIGENCf. NOIITHEBN CIRCUIT—LANCASTER, Acau,s2t. The Commis ion for the County Pala•ine of Lan. caster was opened yesterday by Mr. Justice Bayley.4 The calendar contains near f rty prisoners, three not of whom ale charged with murder. ' This morning then Lordships commenced the blasiness ► f the Assizes, Mr. ..Instice Bayley presiding in - the Crown Court, and Mr. Baran in,thr Civil Court. Came Couar—Before Mr. Justice BATLEY'. George Medi, a stot;Ci stng an. aged twenty, was placed at the bar, under a charge of forgery. The pri , soner, it appeared, was an apprentice of a tradesman, residing in Manchester. In that situation be had con stant acce•a to the cheque book of his master, and on two occasions he obtained possession of two blank cheques. By the assistance of some persons, as he was unable to write himself, the names of his employers " Beatson and Lawton," were signed. The first of t. ese cheques, after some questions had been asked, was paid by Messrs. Brooks and Co. Manchester. The second was however not paid,and the prisoner was apprehended. The prisoner, in his defence, declared himself quite innocent of the charge preterrei against him. The Jury found him guilty of uttering the cheque, knowing it to have been forged, although they were of opinion .hat he had not forged it himself. Mr. Justice BAYLEY having directed that judgment of D•ath should be recorded against him, told the prisoner that the safety of a commercial country like England required, that, although his life would be spared, he should be removed from it. James Dakan was charged with killing and slaying George Pilkington, at Manchester. The case was this: The prisoner is a labourer; and, from some cau.e, which the evidence did not disclose, some dislike had been excited against him, in the minds of the deceased and others of his companions. On the 3d of February last, which was a Sunday, the prisoner was in the house of a friend, whither be had retreated to avoid the attacks of his companions. They, however, were determined to have him out, in order to wreak their vengeance upon him. Finding all threats useless, they, at length, forced' the door; having thus gained admission, the deceased and another man, of the same party, attacked the pri soner with the greatest fury. He was knocked down, and having with *difficulty regained his feet, he seized a small pair of tongs, and struck the deceased over the forehead. The blow seemed to stagger him, but he did got appear much injured by it. The next day he went to his work, and continued thus occupied for some days. 4is length he was forced to yield, and wasremoved to the Hospital ; there he lingered for some time, and at length died Owe about a month after he bad received the blow. To this effect was the evidence. Mr. Justice BATurr. in summing up, told the Jury these were two q nesti.ms for their consideration. First, was the blow inflicted by the prisoner the cause of the dialh of the deceased? andoecondly, was the prisoner merely performing .an act necessar y for his own defence in striking the blow ? If they were of opinion that he hadiretvly struck the bias, in his own defence, they would acquit him. •• the Jury, after a few minutes' consideration, returned a verdict of Not Gail y. Mr. Justice BAILEY recommended the prisoner not to get drunk on a Sunday agahr. • • Oyu. &os—Before Mr. Baron lica.zocc. TRAVERS"): HASlrsols. This was action to recover tine amount of V. 11 s. 3d. for' hails and bacon supplied by the plaintiff to the defendant. • The defendant pleaded a tender before action brought. The plaintiff is a tradesman at Manchester, and the defendant an attorney in the same place. A clerk of the defendant, named Gibson, deposed that he had gone to the house of the plaintiff, and ten deed him the amount of his bill. • This he had refused to stacept, alleging as a reason that he had given in structions to his attorney to proceed with an action for its recovery. George Knowles was present at the time. Cross-examined—Before I came into the defend'ant's service I lived with Mr.*Salt; I never acted as bailiff for the defendant. I had a dispute with my former master, and that was the cause of my leaving him. George Knowles confirmed the statement of the last witness with respect to the tender of the money. Cross•examined-1 was, by trade, a veterinary suf.. geonond had no other business ; I happened to be buying perk chops in the shop of the plaintiff when this tender ; was made; I never was a bailiff; I had a %mall affair on my bands at the I.st Manchester Sessions; 1 was not, bowler, put to the bar with any deficiency (Laughtei). Mr.. BROUGHAM—Pray what do yob mean by never poi to the bar With any deficiency r Was these not some deficiency on the parcel the piosecuturs?

Mr. Bitovoaast (to' the witness)—Now, Mr. Salt, would you believe that witness oa his oath ? _ _ _ Witness—l ready do not blot to answer that question —(a laugh). Mr. 134r0n HULLOCK—WeII, there is an end of your case, M. BroUgham. Your client, it is clear, wanted not.,only the price of his pork chops, but that the defen dant should be forced to pay the costs of action too. • The Juty found•a verdict fur the plaintiff—damages 24 11% 3d. ' 'SHAW AND WIVE V. MAT AND ANOTHER. Mr. ttiIopGRAIN stated the case, which he described as one of the most aggravated that he had ever met withiiind attended with the most serious injoriekto the wifeeof the plaintiff. The plaintiff, was a weaver, near Oldbem p andwas blind—his wife 'and son conducted hit Written. The defendants were eminent silk dyers. isillihnichebrer. The wife of the plaintiff was turning out of Hanging-ditch into Canteen-street, Manchester, when she was knocked down by the caravan of the de fertriants, owinglie . the negligence of the driver; two of her ribs were broken, her leg was also broken, her band was contused, and she received various other in- juries ie other parts of her body, and for a compensation for unch injuries the action was brought. It 'Mama in evidence that all these facts were un, deniable, that the defendants bad paid ltd: tb the von oi-plainiiff, but that was said to be by trick, and that the money Was offered back again; but the defendant% having taken a-receipt foi the lame. refused taking it back, and alleged that they gave it as a gratuity, and nut as a matter of right. Mr. Sergeant C ROllll (Mr. Wictrruat with him) con tended that it was an accident, however much to be regretted. and that the defendants were not liable; that their generosity alone led them to do as they had done. l'he Jury found a verdict for the defendants. Awes! 22. John Roden, aged 33. Hubert Wright, Aged 31, and aged 32, were indicted for uttering to I Joseph 'Da:twist, at Manchester, a tonged order ten Messrs. Jones Loyd, and Co. banter., Manchester, ro t payment of s he sum of 1001. knowing the same to 1* forged. _ _ _ The-circumstances disclosed in evidence were the following Townend, a very respectable merchant. at Manchester, having occasion to pay the sum (if 100 t• to one of his creditors, wrote a blank cheque to thisc amount, drawn on his bankers, Jones, Llyd, and Co. is Manchester. This creditor was, however, paid i n somi , ' other manner, and the cheques remained in that impel. sect state among the papers of the firm. In this warit came into the possession of a confidential civic. named' Robert :Middleton. On 16 deal it was discovered among his papers by r is wife, arid thus the pt isoners got it into their power. They accordingly filled up lb e cheque With the name of Barton, as a payee. InAsis state it was presented to the bank of Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co. and paid by their cashier. On producing the cheque, however, in Court, it was discovered that Mr. Towner'd had signed his name, in far, as " Tewnend.' In the indictment i: was set forth " Townend." Mr. COLTMAN (with whom was Mr. Brown and Mr. Cottingham) objected that this was a misdescription. He submitted that the alleged lorged instrument must be accurately described, or the variance wculd be fatal. Mr. Juste BAYLIY, having considered the objection some minutes, proceeded into vie other Court to take the opinion cf his Learned Brother, Mr. Baron Hulluck, on the subject. On his return, he asked the Jury - Cher they thought t).e prosecutor had signed his name " Townend" ur .'• Tewnend ?" The Jury cz 'mined the cheque very attentively, and gave it as their opinion that the word was 4 , Tewnetid." His Lordship then told them they must acquit t`•.e prisnners, as in his opei ion the variance between the cheque and the description of it contained in the in dictment, was fatal. The Jury accordingly found all the prisoners Nut Guilty, under the Learned Judge's direction. Mr. Justice BAYLEY observed to the prosecuting Counsel. that this acquittal would be no bar to another indictment, in a more correct form, being preferred against the prisoners in the course or the present Asstses. James Contherbatch, aged 2S, was placed at the bar, under a charge cf bureau in the house of Robert Consterdine, at Stannicliffe, and stealing thence a coat, three silver spoons, and ten yards id cloth,hisihopertY, oa the 14th of January last.

PHILLPOTTS. • - • This was an action to rscover damages for the injury which the plaintiff. had sustained in the loss of his daughter's setvices, who had in the mouth of Match last fallen into a sewer which bad been opened by the defendant, and left open through the night in a public ,passage, without any fence or light. Mr. STOCKING opened the pleadings, and Mr. Ser geant WILD& stated the case. The plaintiff was a man in humble circumstances, who not being able to afford to keep a servant, the business of his household was performed by his two daughters. On 'a night in last March, the plaintiff sent one of his daughters out on an et rand, and on her return home, through a place called Jones's-lane, she fell through some loose coveting into o hole, which the defendant had made into a sewer i►hich ran that way. The young woman fell head fore most, and was so much injured as to be for a time in sensible. The violence of her fall, and the nature of the place into which the had fallen, had so much in jured her health, that she was rendered unable to ren der that assistance 'to her father which the liad done previous to the accident, and had 'be►ides made him subject to increased expense for medical attendance, and a more delicate mode of living then she had bsen.used to before. Her nerves had been so much disordered by the accident, that she was now, and had been , since us occurrence. subject to fits, which had mach Impaited her health. All the parts of the Learned Sergeant's StiILCIONSt • were very clearly proved by the evidence of sever,l witnesses; Among 'whom tas , the young woman her ,elf whn appeared to be in a very delicate state of health. Mr. Takt . patotr, in c.ross.examining her, asked if she 0 .00 ,got e :d on the stage? ..th e young woman expressly denied that she had. Mr. Justica PARK said, that whether she had or no was quite immaterial to the matter there in issue. lie thought that the circumstances of her being an actress ought rather to increase the damages to be awarded fit an injory which, besides the other mischief it had produced, prevented her fitim playing her part. The . witness,depo,Cd.that she 'bad been in good health up to the time of the accident. Mr. C. F. WILLIAMS, for the defence, then said, that h e io n n d i t quite fappolsible any longer to deny the jtegligence of ini‘client, or the .injury which the young emaol had suffered. .The patties then talked together for a skit time about the quantum of compensation, and agreed that a verdict should go for the plaintiff—Damages 201. This being the last cause in the paper, the Assizes concluded, and the Jury were dismissed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. , MANSION 110USF.. Saturday Thomas &los, a respectable looking man„was charged wi t h haying embezzled different sums of money, the property of .Alr. James Brookbank, a Le+adenhall• Factor. Mr. Brookbank stated that the prisoner wa. his warehouseman and collecring clerk, and was obliged to account for all the sums he received daily. Joseph Grange, clerk to the hat witness,. said the prisoner col: lected the debts according to a list made out by the witness, con. taitiu g the sums which be.was to collect daily, and the times 'of the parties owing ;hem.. On the. 27th of. March he did not account for any sum as received on that day from Mr. Francis; and on the Bth of May he gave no account of 401. received from the same pLrs•rn. There were some instances in which,he omitted to return allya.um as received. •Jobsi Francis deposed, that on the 27th of March he saw his father, Wm. Francis, pay the prisoner 411. 161. and he put his sante down in a book now prtaluced as an acknowledgment for that sum; he also acknowledged the sum paid on the Oth of May. John Sykes stated, that on the 41stof February he paid the pri soner a cheek of 4/. 2s. on his banker on Mr. Brookbank's account. Alderntan FAreaaanrnae, who set in the absence of the Lord Mayor, committed the prisoner to Newgate for trial. The proprietors of the Sons of Commerce Gravesend steam-boat,' navigating (runs London to Gravesend, were summoned before the Loin Nlarna on Saturday, upon an information charging them with having demanded 25.4 d. for the conveyance of a Gentleman named Talbot, from the.form rto the latter place, the regular fare' bring no more than ls. 6d. The Justice•roont was crowded. Mr. Alley appeared for the proprietors. The City Solicitor, and Mr. Driokald, the Chairman of the Waterman's Company, attended. • ' Mr. Talbot stated the facts of the overcharge, and submitted to she Lord Mayor that the steam-boat being a passage-boat, was liable to the regulations of the late Act relative to - boats of this I , de4criptitta. 111 r. Alley,conteoded, that the vessel in question did not come Ruder the denomination of passage-boat, and was not at aU under the controql of .the. Court of Aldermen ; that the Act referred to wherries and boats propelled.by ours, and not by steam. He stated that his client, bad paid the sum of £2,600 for steam-vessels to navigate.from London to Gravesend ; that the public derived the greatest accommodation Irani such efforts, and that if the price de manded trete to be ;educed, that accommodation must cease altogether. Loup 111.stroa said . ,tbat the steam-boat, as a passage-boat Mint London.to Gravesend,-came directly under the jurisdiction at the Mayor aud Alderman, who had regulated the fares. He had no doubt the jaegislature • meant to include steamboats, and he should therefore convict the .defendants.. The Lord • Mayer also Mentioned, that if the proprietors would apply to the Court of Aldermen, no doubt, there .vrussid be sonic arrangement made; but the working people must be accommodated. - , .

QUEEN—SQUARE. An Irish labourer, named listrick Quinn, was brought up. from Sc. Margaret's watchhouse, charged with having wantonly, and with malice aforethought, devoured several plates of hot rant pork, stuffed with sage and onions, at the shop of Dir. John Thorn, an eating house keeper, in Tothill-street, well knowing he had no insets in Lis pocket to pay for be same. It appeared that about ten o lock en the previous evening, Paddy Quinn was wandering up Tothill-otreet, somewhat hungry. when his olfactory nerves wets assailed by the steam of a fine h 9 t leg of perk, well stuffed with sage and onions, issuing from Mr. Thorn's shop. He hovered about the glop, and, as be expressed himself," he could sot set the smellout of his nose, as it was so like goose." At last, he mustered sufficient courage to enter the shop, and he called boldly for a plate of the said savoury roast pork, "and let there be plenty of sage and onions," said Mr. Paddy Quinn, and plenty of pertains." His order was instantly served, and in a few minutes the plates were as clean as if they bad just been polished. " Another and another" plate followed, and perhaps many more would Dave shared the same fate, bad not . the landlord thought it advisable gently to hint to his customer, that payment was necessary, as he bad been gormandising for en hour and a half. This was a most unwelcome sound to the ear of Paddy Quinn, Who had not a far. thing in his pocket ; and so, to mike the best of it, he tried to besince the landlord out of the supper,by considering himself greatly offended at being asked for payment before he had finished his se past, and, therefore, be kicked up a riot in the shop, abused his host, and threatened delteuction to any one that came In his way.
