ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE GLOCESTEII, Sam S. CIVIL SlDS.—Before Mr. Baron Vacuous and a Special • Jury. ROE, DEM. HART, ESQ. V. WYNNE, ESQ. This was an action of ejectment, by which the lessor of the plaintiff sought to establish his claim to the free hold of the soil of a considerable tract of land in the county of Denbigh. The property in question con sists of extensive sheep-walks over a barren moun tainous part of the county of Denbigh, and has been some time in dispute, the question having been tried twice before—once at Shrewsbury, and once at Ruthin. Mr. TAUNTON, Mr. J. JERVIS, Mr. MEEf4ON, Mr. P. ABBOTT, and Mr. KINNERSLY, conducted the case for the lessor of the plaintiff; Mr. CAMPBELL, Mr. sergeant RUSSELL, Mr. RICHARDS, and Mr. COR BETT, for the defendant. The principal part of the land in question is known by the names of " Ceriogne Mowr " and " Ceriogne Bach," and is situated in a district anciently called " Hiraethog." It was formerly granted by Llewellyn, Prince of all North Wales, in 1198, to the monks of Aberconway, to gether with other property. That grant was confirmed in the 12th year of the reign of Edward I. and on the dissolution of the monasteries, on the passing of the 27th of Henry VIII. the rty came into the posses sion of Robert Gethin ap hirrgs e , from whom it descended to the family of Kenrick, who sold it to the lessor of the plaintiff. It was admitted that the plaintiff was entitled to extensive right of common over the lands in question, which it was alleged were part of the lands of the manor of Hiraethog; but it was contended on the part of the lessor of the plaintiff, that there never had been any such manor in existence; that there was no mention of it in the grant by Llewellyn to the monks of Aberconway ; and that, claiming under them, he was entitled to the freehold of the soil. An immense mass of documentary evidence was gone through, and a number of Welsh wit nesses examined, through the medium of an interpreter, to prove that previous to the year 1787, the Kenriek family were in the habit of sporting over the lands in question, and to show different acts of ownership exer cised by them, such as digging stone, cutting grig, fern, and rushes. On the part of the defendant, it was contended that the grant to the monks of Aberconway related only to the enclosed lands. That even if there was no manor in existence, there might be wastes to which the defendant was entitled, bat that, on the contrary, for 200 years all the rights of a manor had been exercised, and that Hi raethog had been acknowledged by the Crown as a ma nor. To establish this view of the case, a grant in the 23d year of Elizabeth to the Earl of Leicester and John Mawley, Esq. was relied upon ; and a great number of witnesses were called to prove that manor courts for the manor of Hiraethog had been regularly held, at which the tenants of the Kenriek family, as well as the Wynnes, attended constantly, unless they paid a fine ; and also to show that every seven years the boundaries had been perambulated, and certain parts of the enclosed lands of the kenrick estate passed over in the perform ance of that duty. It was also contended that the grant of Edward I. contained words granting a manor. The Court was engaged with the trial of this case five days, when a verdict was found for the defendant. Upwards of 60 Welsh witnesses for the lessor of the plaintiff arrived here on Saturday last,and were quartered at the Booth-hall. On the part of the defendant, about 50 were billetted at the Bell Inn. This formidable re tinue of the contending parties almost filled the Court, and some of those who appeared by their habiliments only fresh caught (though somewhat old in the horn) presented a most grotesque appearance. The general move that took place about their usual dinner-hour showed them not unmindful of the creature comforts, notwithstanding the novelty of the scene ; but it is only justice to state that their egress and regress were marked by the most decorous slowness and solemnity, the bri gade extending in orderly time through the spacious avenues of the Shire Hall to the respective inns, with all the gravity that the distinction of a strange people in a strange land could afford. CHESTER, Sur. 7. MALICIOUS CUTTING AND MAIMING. William Pollitt, 22, Thomas Wyatt, 19, William Wyatt, 20, and Henry Wyatt, 21, were charged, the first named with cutting and stabbing James Burgess, and the others with aiding and abetting. The indictment contained the usual counts. The facts of the case were shortly these. The prosecutor lives at Bredbury, and on the 24th of August went with his brother into the em ploy of Mr. Jesse Howard, a cotton-spinner at Stock port, from which the prisoners had turned out for an in crease of wages. On the evening of that day they left work half an hour earlier than the regular time, at the request of the manager of the works, who feared an at tack upon them by the refractory spinners. The prose cutor saw a man, who appeared as if he was watching them, run into a public-house. After they had got a short distance, they looked back and saw a number of men following them from the public-house. The pri soners were amongst the number, and one of them came up and asked why he worked for Jesse Howard, and what he gave him ? The prosecutor told him, and then they all fell on him and his brother. The prosecutor ran into a house opposite, and Henry and William Wyatt followed him. William Wyatt called out to the owner of the house, " d—n your eyes, will you harbour Jesse Howard's knob ticks ? " Prosecutor said he would go out if they would let him go out quietly. They consented, and just as he got to the door, William Pollit struck him over the right eye with a sharp knife ; the blood spouted eat from his eye, and the others fell on him, saying, " d—n his eyes, kill him ; he's nothing but a knob stick." The blows he received nearly closed his left eye. The Jury found the whole of the prisoners guilty, and the Learned Judge immediately passed the awful sen tence of death upon Pollitt, telling him that the circum stances of the part of the country from which he came, rendered it imperative that he should be executed as a warning to others, and bidding him not to entertain the slightest hope of mercy. The Wyatt" Were sentenced to be transported for life. Last night, between I 0 and 11 o'clock, a fire broke set bathe apattamem mospkd by a Mrs. Grant, at the corner of a llede ear% densely Mobbed, close. to the Mitre public-house, Mlieediately facing the entrance into Serjeaat's-inn Chancery lane. This court Is Mime by the name of the " Ba kery " (from there being a humble family in each room) and the fire burnt back wards from Chancery-lane with a fury that threatened the whole neighbourhood with destreedoo. Most of the inhabitants in the mere or " rookery" were st home; hut from the alarm of fire, and ail the houses being built -of wood, they led for their lives bee Chancery-lane. In a Hide time the Assurance-office engines arrived, but at first the water. was not by any means equal to the requisite demand. The firemen, however, with great iturepidlry, took mut a.large portion of the little furniture belonging to the peer petiole, and placed it for misty in Serjeant's-Inn.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Sept 8. —,,m•-- Robert Fearman was Indicted for assaulting a Mrs. LHley, with intent to commit a rape. The prosecntrix stated that she was the wife of a hair dresser, and lived next door to the defendant, who carried on the business of a butcher and milkman. She went to his house early on the morning in question to buy some milk, and the defendant pressed her to purchase some meat which he showed her. She said she would go and consult her husband, and went away for that purpose.— On her return, the defendant invited her into a back room, and upon her declining to go, he forced her into it, threw her into a chair, and took a gross liberty with her person, saying at the same time he should like to take one still grosser. The proeecutrix resisted him, and threatened to tell her husband, on which she got away. The defendant denied acting in the manner imputed to him, and asked if it was probable he would attempt to commit such an offence upon his neighbour's wife, inside an open shop, where he was exposed to detection by any person who might enter it ? The CHAIRMAN left the question of probability to the jury ; who returned a verdict of Not Guilty. George Caudle was indicted for an assault upon John Bird Wearing. _ _ _ Mr. A poiitt vs, in stating the facts of the case to the Jury, read an extract from a printed placard, purporting to be a series of resolutions adopted by the silk trade, in which the Bethnal-green weavers expressed their deter mination, since there appeared to be no hope of a miti gation of their distress, to protect every brother trades man whose goods should be distrained upon for rent or otherwise. The present defendant, the Learned Counsel said, had availed himself of that illegal protection to re sist a distress put in by his landlord, to whom ho had paid no rent for three years; and this prosecution was instituted to prove to such misguided men, that the law would be upheld by the law, and that the only effect of such wicked and short-sighted combinations would be to bring punishment upon those who dared to set it at defiance. The Learned Counsel then =lied his witnesses, from whose testimony it appeared that the prosecutor, who is a sworn broker and appraiser, was employed by the de fendant's landlord to distrain on his premises for rent. The defendant resisted the execution of the warrant, and collected a mob of weavers outside the house, who called out to him torn out the broker or kill him. The de fendant shut the front door to prevent the prosecutor from getting away, upon which the latter got out at the beck door and went for assistance. On his return the defendant struck him a violent blow on the breast. He succeeded, however, in taking away a part of the dis trained goods, the remainder having been carried off by the defendant. Although the persons who collected out side the house were for the most part weavers, the de fendant himself was not a weaver, but a marble paper stainer. On the part of the defendant several witnesses came forward to swear they did not see him strike the prosecu tor ; but it did not appear that they had witnessed the whole of the transaction. The Learned CHAIRMAN told the jury, that it was extremely culpable on the part of certain persons to enter into illegal resolutions, but, at the same time, it was equally unfair on the part of those who conducted the prosecution to seek to visit that misconduct upon the de fendant, who could have had nothing to do with it, he having no connexionwhatever with the weavers, by whom alone those resolutions had been entered into. It was for the jury to say whether the case had been fairly proved against the defendant : if they had any reason able doubt on the subject, he was entitled to the benefit of it. The Jury, after some hesitation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Upon the return of the verdict the Learned Chairman smiled across to Mr. A4olphus. Mr. ADOLPIIUS.—That is too bad, after the lecture we had yesterday upon illegal combinations. CHAIRMAN.—But what had the defendant to do with the resolutions of the weavers ? He was no weaver. Mr. ADOLPIIUS.—Their resolution was to assist all poor brother tradesmen in resisting distresses ; and if the defendant availed himself of that illegal assistance, he, by such conduct, adopted the resolution, and made him self responsible for its consequences. However, I shall only say to the gentlemen opposite what had been some times said to juries before now, "thank GOD, it is your verdict, and not mine." EXECUTION AT GLOUCESTER. On Saturday last William Salewell underwent the fatal sentence of the law. On Thursday last he was found guilty of the wilful murder of his wife, and on the second day after his trial he expiated his offence with his life. The history of this unfortunate man was truly wretched. Who his parents were is wholly unknown ; and the first thing that is known of him is, that he was a foundling, and that he received the name of Salewell from his being found at a farm of that name, the pro perty of a Gentleman named Ambrose, who lived near Blakeney. When the unfortunate man grew up, he worked in digging in the collieries, and about five years ago he married the unfortunate deceased. The cottage, or rather hut, in which he lived, was of the most wretched description, and was situate in the wildest part of the Forest of Dean : it consisted only of a room formed by four stone walls and a turfed roof. It had no door, and there was nothing to prevent the cattle which ranged the forest from going into it in the night. These miser able people had no furniture ; neither chair, table, nor bedstead ; and there only bed was some loose hay and fog-grass strewed on the floor. Here lived this wretched man and his wife ; and, amidst all this misery, the latter, who was a very meek-epirited and patient young woman, long suffered from the harsh and cruel treatment of her husband ; his conduct towards her had always been ex tremely violent, indeed so much so, that the unfortunate woman often said that she could not call her soul her own ; and it appeared that,. on the day on which she re ceived the blows and kicks which caused her death, the only thing which she had done to provoke the anger of her husband was, that she told him he had been drinking. He was a small mild-looking man, with large dark eyes and straight black hair, and from his appearance no one would have supposed him capable of such a crime. However, from the time of his being committed to pri son he appeared to be quite resigned to that fate which he seemed fully aware was awaiting him. The Rev. Chap lain of the gaol was from the first very assiduous in pre paring him for his• fate.6-however, the wretched man al wave mated that his conscience was clear of any preme ditited intention of murdering his wife, and that- when he wee kicking her with•such extreme violence he did not expect the fatal consequences which followed. This wretched couple had two children, one of whom has died since the murder of the unfortunate woman. From the time of the sentence• being passed no hopes were enter tained of a reprieve, and on Saturday* morning - this wretched being•, after hating peered a life* of the•nroab abject poverty and wretchedness, ended his mortal' darter upon the scaffold.

ENSUING OLD BAILEY SE&4IOIYS. In consequence of the long interval since the last Ses sion, the Calendar, as, indeed, is usual in September and April, is numerically heavy. We wish we could stop without further observation ; but with regret we men tion, that out of the aggregate there are upwards of 60 who are charged with offences which put their lives in jeopardy ; and, among the accused, there are members of the families intimately connected with respectable com mercial houses, and country gentlemen. It i s muc h to be regretted that the crime of murder stains the Calendar in two of its pages, and some of the cases of alleged fbrgery, it is said, assume a serious aspect. It is repul sive to our feelings to notice, that, with all our boasted police regulations, there are 56 persons charged with something like street robbery.
