_ - varying the offence. The prisoner, who appeared much dejected and care-worn, on the indictment being read, in a.very faint voice pleaded Not Guilty ; he was also arraigned on other indictments, charging him with breaking into Frome Church, and with other robberies, to all of which he pleaded Nut Guilty. Mr. JEREMY stated the case. John Furnell examined-1 live at Frome; on Sun day, the 6th of August last, about ten o'clock pt I was in Bath-street, Frome, waiting for Mr. Wheeler s van; about twelve &clock, I saw two persons on the private road, near Mr. Oxley's premises; I went after them with a person of the name of Gilbert; we followed them, and they went on ; this was after the van arrived; we went up to Mr. Oxley's wood house, and there heard a noise; I looked in, the door being half open ; I called Gilbert; I saw the prisoner; I knew his person; he was dressed in a light coat, short trowsers, and a cap made of beaver, which came over his face; there was a waggon in the wood house ; I heard the prisoner • say to the others, whom we could not see, " bring that board;" on this, myself and Gilbert went back to Mr. Oxley's, and called him up; I then returned to the • bottom of the road, within about 100 yardsof the wood house, to watch. Gilbert, Oxley, and M. Butcher, came . up about a quarter of an hour-afterwards. Oxley had a carving knife; Butcher had a twitch (a stick they hold horses with when they are unruly) in his hand. We went in and searched the house, but found no one. We - then went into other buildings, to Mr. Drewe's garden, contiguous to the wood house in Drewe's garden. I heard some•leaves rattle in the adjoining garden ; on hearing which I called to the others to come. They came up, and we all went into the garden. 1 went first, and the others followed, and there found the prisoner under a quince tree. lam quite positive the prisoner is the same man. I asked him what he did there? He made no answer. Mr. Oxley came up, and the prisoner, made an attempt to run away. Wheal saw him under the tree he was stooping down, and had a sword in his hand. I caught hold of him with my right band by the pocket; he turned round and struck me with the back part of the sword over the arm, which caused me to let go; it was a drawn sword—not in a scabbard. He made away to cross the hedge, and fell over a wheel barrow. Mr. Oxley came up to the prisoner. The prisoner struck Mr. Oxley a violent blow. He then made his way towards some palings, and attempted to get over, but could not. He then turned right round, and cut away with his sword right and left, and made a stab at me, which Came between my body and arm. 1 saw the sword then come at the side of Oxley. Ile then struck blows; one cut through the hat, and the other was a right down blow on the body. He then struck me a blow which stunned me. Matthias Butcher came up ;we called to .him to assist us ; Matthias struck the prisoner ton the back part of the head, which made him stoop . ; I caught hold of the sword. The lantern which MotOxley had iu his band was cut all to pieces; we all came round him, and I then, having the sword in my hand, said, if he struck another blow I would run the sword through him. During the conflict, while the prisoner bad the sword, Oxley said to him, you -blood thirsty villain, will you give up? He then had the carving-cnife in his hand, and was cutting at the prisoner, to save his own life. I afterwards saw a wound in the prisoner's side. When I got the sword from him he said he would give up. • We took him to the guard-house. On the next morning be was taken to the Blue Boar, and there washed; he was kept there from the Monday morning till he escaped, on the Tues day night or Wednesday morning. Joseph Oxley, the prosecutor, in part corroborated this evidence, as also did Charles Gilbert and Matthias Butcher. Mr. EARLS, on behalf of the prisoner, took several objections to the form of the indictment, some of which were considered tenable, and were reserved for the opinion of the twelve Judges. Mr. Justice LITTLaDALE summed up, and the Jury 'found the prisoner guilty on the 6th and Bth counts of the indictment.—Judgment respited. GILHAM, tea MLIRDZREft.—A true bill has been found against the prisoner for murder and robbery at Bath, and his trial is expected will take place on Monday. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—YORK, Arau. 1. Before Mr. Baron HOLLOCK. Michael Sedgtvick, aged 32, was indicted for assault-1 ing and Illtreatiog 'Susannah Hugill, with .intent to ravish her. In a second count he was charged with a common assault. Mr. ALIXANDIR stated the case, and called Susannah Hugill, an Widening looking girl, of fourteen year* of age, who stated that the prisoner resided at Hutton, near Budley, in this county. She had, down to the 19 h of March last, lived in his service for two years, on which day the assault took place. (The witness here detailed the disgusting part of the prisoner's conduct.) On that night she went to bed about nine o'clock, leaving the prisoner up with his brother, who very soon kb. Her mistress had been out for about ten days, and she and prisoner were the onl) two persons in the house. The prisoner -came to her bed ; she screamed as high (loud) as she could, but the prisoner put his hand over her mouth, and sibreatened to thrust a handkerchief into it if she made a noise. She at length got out of her bed-room, and ran down stairs; the prisoner fol lowed her, and continued the assault. After some time Ire -told her to go to bed and he would let her alone, and also told . her to fasten her door; ' there was no bolt; she put a nail through for that purpose, but it being too long, the prisoner drove it back, and came again into the room, and threw himself on her bed; she then scratched his face, and again cried out. The prisoner then dragged her off the bed by the hair of her head, and struck her over the head and face; she also received a violent blow on the bottom of her back; she bled profusely. After this tLe prisoner um to bed, and she went down stairs to clean the house, although it was only two o'clock in the morning. She told a Mrs. Allison the next day how she had been treated, but she did not tell her all. She made her master's breakfast in the morning, and he went out, during which time her mother came, and she told all that bad bap ,pened, and he r mot h er sa id s h e s h ou ld go b e f ore a Magistrate; she did go, a warrant was granted, and, the prisoner was apprehended. Mr. . COTTINGIIAM rigidly examined the witness, but: could not imp eac h her veracity, or taint her pievious character. Mrs. Allison and the mother of the girl were called to confirm the evidence of the Jury P rosecu tT Mr. COTTI tiGHA II addressed the J r . y t he prisoner, and called several witnesses, who gave him a. good moral character. Mr. Baron Hutz.occ said, the prisoner was charged known with one of the most aggrav ate d offences to the English law. He was ch arge d w i t h an assa u lt u female ; and unless the Jury s h ou ld believe that the young girl had told them a sto r y compose d of a tissue at falsehood, and that the whole was perju ry from be. swain to ending, be could not see how t he Jury-could do otherwise than find the prisoner guilty, of some part of the charge at least. When a charge of the sort was made, it became the duty of the Jury to consider the whole probabilities of the statement. It certainly ap peared to him that the prosecutrix had given her evi dence in a plain and consistent manner. The question for the Jury to decide was, whether the prisoner had been guilty of the gross violation attributea to him, or whether he had only been guilty of a most aggravated common assault? The Jury retired for about tea minutes, and found the prisoner guilty of a gross common assault. Mr. Baron BULLOCK sentenced him to be imprisoned in the House of Correction at Beverley for 12 months. SENTENCESTHE HORSE STEALERS. Of the fourteen prisoners charged with this offence,, the following were capitally convicted: John Wilkin-1 son, Samuel 'Willis, William Smith, John Todd, John, Horner, John Marriott, George Reggett, and Matthew; Harrison; who being placed at the bar, Mr. Baron Hum.oce said, 4 , Prisoners at the bar, you have severally been convicted of the crime of horse stealing; your numbers afford sufficient proof that the offence cannot be put a stop to without having recoutse to the literal execution of the law, and that the lenity that has hitherto been shown is altogether unavailing ; therefore it is my duty to inform you, and I do it with great reluctance and considerable pain, that your of fences must be expiated by letting t..e literal sentence of the law be executed upon each of you. Every one of you must suffer. The interest of the public, and the protection of this species of property, demand it. I have, Therefore, to request of you all, nut to suffer the precious moments that now remain for you, when you are upon the brink of eternity, to pass without setting about earnestly, by prayer and supplication, to make your peace with GOD. I cannot flatter any one of you that you can hope for mercy here. The sentence of the law was then pronounced upon the prisoners, some of whom, especially Willis, seemed deeply affected. CIVIL SlDE.—Before Mr. Justice BATLZY: HORSINGT6I4 V. DNA UNOT AND WIFE. Mr. PATTISON opened the pleadings, which stated that the wife of the defendant had spoken certain defa matory words of and respecting the plaintiff, highly in jurious to his reputation and reflecting thereon, and also charging him with frauds in money transactions. Mr. BROUGHAM, in a most powerful address, stated the case. Never had he to address aJury with greater feelings of anxiety—a case of greater interest to an individual could scarcely be reposed in the hands of any one. It was a very common saying, but not the less true on that ac count, that the thing which was most valuables° man in society was his good name. His client was not only charged with dishonesty, as the Jury had heard by the pleadings, but with dishonourable conduct, in matters of the most delicate nature. He was charged .with a most foul and fraudulent breach.of trust, in a situation the most delicate that man and man could be placed in society together—he meant that of steward and confi dential agent. Nothing could be more ruinous than to impute a breach of trust to such a person. To call a merchant a bankrupt, a soldier a cower d,or-aGentleman a swindler, could not by possibility affect such characters more than the imputation cast upon his client. He had to state the .circumstances under which the words were spoken, and the base purpose for which they were uttered. The defendants probably they all knew ; they were Col. and Mrs. Beaumont, who possessed very large estates in Yorkshire. The plaintiff had resided in the, West Riding of that county for more than 16 years, and had been confidentially employed by many persons of rank and property, as their agent and surveyor., In that capacity be had been employed by Sir George Steel. and by a Nobleman of large estates and political importance, Lord Buckinghamshire, from whose knowledge of him he had been recom mended to the defendants, Col. and Mrs. Beaumont, and upon such high recommendation he entered the defendants service as their land agent and steward in the year 1812, and continued therein until November in the last year. During that period he was employed by other persons; amongst them, we understood, were the Duke of Wellington and Lord Howdah When he first came upon the estates of the defendants, he found them in a state that required the greatest care, attention, and good management ; and under his management he brought them, td a very high degree of regularity and order ; so much so, that his conduct met the approbation of the delendants,and the rents were raised as high as they could be. In 1826 an event of great importance took place—the election for the,county of Northumberland; the Beaumont family were much interested therein, one of the family being . a candidate. The highest confi dence was placed in the plaintiff; and he, above all others, was .sent to Northumberland, in the rank of agent, to settle and reduce the electioneering bills, on which service he saved the defendants many thousands of pounds, in the doing of which all the odium was cast upon him ; and that might lead to the motive that prompted the slander. Early in July last, Lord Howden received a note from Mrs. Beaumont, they then being in London,, requesting that he would call upon her the next day, in Port- man-square. He should state that Mrs. Beaumont managed all the affairs of her aunt and her husband's property. That part of the Salique law which excluded a woman from reigning was not adopted in the Beau mont family . —(Laughter). The reigning Lady governed all the affairs of the estate. Lord Howden called as re quested.' She then told him that she did not like the plaintiff's moral chaiacter, and he understood that she then said that he kept a mistress ; that he would have passed over, and never have grounded an action upon it. Finding that Lord Howden was proof against all this, what he would call tittle tattle, she then proceeded to inflict the wounds on the plaintiff's character, which none but the Jury could relieve him from. She said to Lord Howden that the plaintiff had taken money from the tenants on their leases, that he had made a profit of her money in discounting bills—and that he had also taken some of her money, for which he had never accounted. And she then left that statement to work upon the mind of Lot d Howden. He understood it was that day meant to be said that Mrs. Beaumont only meant that he took his usual fee ; tut he would show them that she meant that he had turned the letting of the lands to his own profit, and that he took bribes from the tenants to grant leases on more reasonable terms. Lord H. wrote to Mrs. Beaumont, stating that he denied the charges and defied proof—adding, that the charge made was such, if true, as rendered the plaintiff un worthy of confidence; he also alluded to the service of the plaintiff at the Northumberland election, and the thousands he had there saved by his assiduity. No answer was sent to this letter ; and, therefore, he contended the ' construction of Lord Howden was tr ue, and such as Mrs. Beaumont adopted.He cared not whe t h er Mrs. Beaumont came there that day clothed in all the quibbles which was afforded by the law. He should leave his case to the deci sion of twelve honest Jurymen,and he was confident they would be of opinion that no other constractionecould be put upon her words, than that which was the strong 'impression of Lord Howden. The plaintiff having been dismissed by Mrs. Beannon, and not receiving any answer from her, Lord . Howden thought that the same impression remained on her mind, and he, therefore, could not think of continuing the plaintiff in his employ when under such imputations. There were other words spoken of the plaintiff—that he had kept two rentals, and that she could transport him for defrauding her of her money—and some other charges—had been stated to a common servant. Lord Howden, and other witnesses, were called to prove the facts stated. Mr. J. WILLIAMS (Mr. F. POLLOCK, arid Mr. AL. DIMON, with him) addressed the Jury. Mr. Justice BATLEY summed up most minutely. The Jury retired for a short time, an I then returned a verdict for the plaintiff'. Damages-4:1,700. The trial lasted more thin six hours. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. _••••••1••••.-- . GUILDHALL A waiter at the New Post Office Coffee-house, in St. Martin's le-Grand, was charged with embezzling one shilling, which he had received from a customer in the Coffee-room, and information was given to the master (Mr. Williams) by a person who was sitting ini the room, and who repeatedly noticed the same conduct. Mr. Williams told the prisoner to go into an adjoining room, and as soon as an officer arrived, he was searched, and seven shillings were, found, in his pockets. Mr. W. desired him to pull off bis shoes, but he refused. The officer made the same request with as little effect, and the prisoner made a violent resistance whin the Officer. attempted to take the shoes off by force. In them, however, was' found 16s. Waiver, and on searching his boz,Z.l. 10s. in diver, 16s. in copper.,,ond a newly purchased watch and seals. The ptisoner said, his aunt gave him the money, but be could not tell why he. kept it in bis shoes.—lie was.committed. 130 W.—STREET. Goon Farnao.—Yesterday being a day act apart in all Christian countries for religious worship, this Office was of course closed, ex cept for an boor before Church.time, when Sir It/CHARD BIRMIR sat to dispose of all the night charges, of which there were only four. Among the prisoners was Mary .dnn Pearar,the unfortunate female with whom the public are so intimate under the title of Lady Barrynsore. The complaint against her Ladyship was pre ferred by Mrs. Judith Solonions, wife of Samuel Solomons, a fruiterer, for having, by force and arms, endeavoured to deprive het of goods and money. It appeared that the prisoner bad gone to the complainant's ithop on the p• evious night, and in the most boisterous manner demanded some oranges and some money. Mrs. Solomon', under the influ ence, as she said, of terror banded her some of the best oranges in the shop, and a shilling ; but with these Lady Barrymore was not satisfied. She presently became outrageous, and killer rage tum bled carefully piled heaps of oranges, together with the other fruits placed for show in the window, about the floor, and would have fallen foul of Mrs. Solonionsherself, big for the interposition of the watchman, who espying her Ladyship, entered the shop, and after a desperate struggle, in which be had his eye discoloured by a thrust of her Ladyship s clenched fist, conveyed her to the watchhouse. Sir lircnoen, to the Clerk—l chink, Mr. Woods , that this is a transportable offence. It would really be a blessing if this ttnkappy being were sent out of the country. Lady Barrymore—Aye, transportation if you like. I know, Sir Richard, I need expect no lenit) at your hands. After sense consultation as to the nature of the evidence, the Magietrate said he feared he should be obliged to take the cue Under the Wilful Damage Act. Mrs. Solomans--I beseech yotir Worship so transport bee, so that she may never come near me again—(A laugh). Lady Barrymore-- Well, it will only be for seven years if be does, and then Fit come back and tear your eyes out, and pull your house down about your ears. She would hare suited the action to the word but for Ford the gaoler, who seized /air .by the. arms, and prevented her from doing so. . . - Ford said that she had only obtained her liberty on Thursday. Several publicans, whose windows she had 'gnashed, now came forward and made their charges. Sir Bunsen—Will you satisfy these people for the damage you have done? Lady Barrymore—rd see you and them at the first. . She was then committed for three months. WORSHIP STREET. Thursday Henry James was charged with a burglary in the hoes; of Mr. Wood, in Long-alley, Worship-street. It appeared that between two and three that morning, a watchman, named •Boi. _land. saw swo men coming from the alley, and secured one of them (the prisoner). It was afterwards_ discovered that Mrs Wood's house had been broken open, and robbed of 15 pair of boots, 1Y pair of shoes, and five- silver spoons; a dark, lantern, crow bar, and other burglarious Instruments, Matins[ tbequisoner, were produced. The -ma n who escaped was .supposed to -have had part of the plunder in his possession.—Mr. Twrroms re! mended the prisoner. Three Incorrigible young thieves, about 11 years of age, name! Bartley, Radford, and Ellis, who have been frequently in custody on charges of robbery, were charged with breaking into the apart, ment of a labouring man, and stealing his waistcoat and coat. Strong circumstances of suspicion were stated against them, and they were remanded. LAM BETH—STREET. John Brain, a watchman belonging to the parish of St. Mary, Whitechapel, and dome his wife, were 'on Thursday last brought up on a warrant, by Dalton, and placed at the bar, before M. Weave, Esq to answer a Charge of assault preferred against them by Janet Pherson, a woman of the town. On being sworn, Janet, whu spoke in a broad Scotch accent, com menced ber accusation by saying that the watchman had deluded her away from her own lodgings, in Liniehouse; and sold her to an old man. whom he and his wife prevailed upon her to marry. Mr. Weatv—l don't see bow he could well do that without your consent. Janet—They got hold of me while I was in a fit of Intoxication : it was then I did it, and they put me to bed to Mr. Cox, in one of their own rooms. Mr. WYATT —Who is Mr. COI? Janet—Why my husband, Sir. He is gone away to sea. It was molt shameful to marry me to him; he is old enough to be my grandfather. Mr. We Arr--Were you drunk all the time of the courtship? Janet, with due Scottish reservation, replied that she would not take it upon herself to deny but she was. Mr. WeAre—What was you before this marriage took place? Janet—An Unfortunate Lady. Mr. Wearr—Or, in other words, a prostitute. Janet did not deny the application of the term, but said that be never took Gentlemen to her private lodgings. Mr. Wears—That certainly is a nice distinction. You have since lodged at the house of this very faithful preserver of the public morals? Janet-1 did, Sir. Mr. WrArr.—Well, he was not so particular. He had no ob.• jection to your bringing your paramours to his house ; and he knew of it, I suppose? Janet—To be sure he did, Sir. He knew I get my living in the streets; and when the old Gentleman, Mr. On, vied to come to see me, he, the watchman, used to bring in the gin and water, I paid him seven shillings a week, and because I could not pay bins more he beat me. Mr. Wrarr—lle is a most accomplished scoundrel. The virtues of the watchmen are coming to light every day. I knew they were the self-appointed patrons of these wrenched women, and that they extort sums of money from them • but I was not before aware that; they actually kept brothels, whic h, I &appose, for the future, will be considered a necessary attribute of their office. Partridge, what parish does this fellow belong to? Partridge—Ti ours, Sir. Mr. Wearr—Where is his beat? Partridge—He's stationed on yours, Sir. He is your watchman. (Loud laughter). Mr. Wyarr—Upon my word I was not before sensible of the meritorious character under whose care my person and property were nightly placed; but we must get rid of him. Mr. Wake, the overseer, said, he attended to heir what'were the facts of the case; and Mr. Wyatt might be assured, that on that night a report should be made to the Watch Committee, who, he bad no doubt, would dismiss this man. Mr. WYATT then discharged the cotoplaint, telling Janet, that . If she was not satisfied with the punishment of the offender, she might indict him at the Sessions. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
