Alexander Lambert s‘ as ind cted, under Lord Ellen borough's Act, for malici..thly cutting Jane Moore, at Nut6eld, on the 14 , h April, with intent to murder her. It appeared in evidence, that the prosecutnx, who is an elderly woman, keeps a huckster's shop at Nuffield, in which village the prisoner seas a labourer. Abrut half-past digit In the evening of the 14th of April, the prosecutrix slaving closed her house for the nieht, the prisoner came to her shop, and expressed a wish to pur chase a has. Some hats were skean him, and he se lected one. He tten wished to buy a glass rummer. She took him to a store-nom at the back of the house, an I sheaved him some glasses. He pointed to one which stood ..n a shelf. and desired to see that. Whilst in the act of reaching it down, he struck her two violent blows on the back of the head ; and before she could recover herself he struck her another blow on the forehead, whichcut her to the bone. She then fell, and in her fall she broke some earthenware. Her cries of murder alarmed the prisoner, who immediately took to flight, lea►ing his hat on the premises. The prisoner fled from Nutfield, but was apprehended in a few days afterwards. On examining the person of the prosecutrix, she was found to have received metal dangerous bruises, and on her forehead there was an extensive gash. ' In the courtyard of her house was found, shortly after the , prisoner tan away, ad • instrument called a tame (part of the collar of a cart.horse), composed of iron, •the edges of which were capable of inftcting the wsuad on the prosecutrix's forehead. On this instrument some marks of b1,,0d u ere visible. No apparent motive for this conduct coul4 be attributed to the prisoner, except plunder, it being proved that about eight o'clock he said to a man, to whom he owed 16s. that he would be able to pay him soon alter people were gone to rest.— On cross-examination, it was suggested that the psi- . loner and the prosecutrix must have had a cinatretrand that she had knocked his hat off. It was also suggested that the wound on the forehead might have seen ocCa• sinned by her falling upon some broken earthenware. The prisoner, who appeared to have borne a good ch trader previous to this transaction, strongly denied his guilt, but called no witnesses. The Learned Jurroe summed up the case to the Jury, and they found the prisoner Guilty. Sentence of Dena was passed upon him. Both the Jury and the prosecutrix strongly recommended that his life should be spared. STAFFORD. Ana. 6. Crria, SlDS—Before Mr. Junior Liman...La, and a Special Jury. HIGHTIRLD V. P.BAKE. This was an issue directed by the Master of the Rolls to. try the •alidity of a deed of gift, by which the plain tiff claimed to be entitled to a certain estate in this county called Bowers. blr.Tatrevote, with whom was Mr.RICHA RISS, shortly detailed the following facts :—The plaintiff, John High field, resided at a place called Mill Miest,in this county. —He was formerly tenant of the estate that he now claimed, which he rented of an old Gentleman of the name of Ward. Mr. Ward was a man advanced in years, and although he had many relatives, appeared to have taken a fancy to the plaintiff, whom he em ployed to perform all the work that was required for the management of the farm on which Mr. Ward dwelt. The intimacy which was produced from the constant attendance of the plaintiff on me. Ward, had created such a degree of regard in the mind of Mr. Ward. that in September, 1818, with a view to provide for the plaintiff's large family, he caused a deed of gift to be prepared, by which he conveyed the estate in question to the plaintiff. The Jury would be told. no doubt, that the deed in question was not prepared by Mr. Ward's regular attorney, and that that circumstance alone was sufficient to engender suspicion; but they would fired that lie had applied co the professional Gentleman who was generally .employed by Mr. Ward; but in consequence of his absence from home, or some such reason, the plaintiff was unable to get the deed drawn. It was not to be supposed that a person in the plaintiff's situation in life would evince much delicacy on such a subject. He was anxious to secure for himself and a numerous family independence, which he thought would be a sufficient excuse for his applying to another person. Accordingly, he went to a man of the name of Green, who practised as a conveyancer, and by him the deed was diawn, which was the subject of the present ins. quiry. The Learned Counsel, after detailing the nature of the evidence he should produce, concluded by calling the following • iinesses: • William Highfield, brother to the plaintiff, said-1 knew the late Joseph Ward for 40 yea's. My father lived at Bowers ever since Ward bought it, and my trotter succeeded him ; Ward died in 1819; I remem ber, in September, 1818, going with my, brother to Ward's house at Mill Miest ; when we arrived there, we found Ward and William Brown together; my brother produced the deed in question, saying," 1 have bought the deed." Ward said, " Thee hast not put any thing in it but Bowers." My brother said be had not. -Ward then desired Brown to go and fetch Wm. Hawley, a friend of Ward's, to witness the deer l; Brown returned with Hawley; Ward then desired Hawley to lock at the deed, and see if it was all right, and nothing in it but " Bowers ;" when Hawley read over the deed, and came to the words rough meadow, Ward said, " Rough et.ough, I reckon." Ward then put his mark to the deed, and delivered it as his act and deed; Haw ley and I also signed it as witnesses; the plaintiff wrote his name under the seal, but was told there was no oc casion for it; Sarah Bragley, Ward's housekeeper, was there; after it was done, Hawley said it was a good job Ward had given Bowers to Highfield, as he had a big family; I went away, leaving the deed on the table; . some beer was ordered, but 1 did not stay for it. Cross-examined—Joseph Peake, the defendant, is the grand nephew of Joseph Ward ; my brother said he had got the deed from Green; the ink was brought by me with which the deed was executed.—(The witness here had a document handed over to him, which he said was not signed by him). William Brown—l live at Mil Miest, and knew the late Joseph Ward; he was about 84 years of oge when be died, and was very infirm for ten or twelve years before. I used to sleep in the same MOM with him, and a nephv of his. to take care i f him. I knew tte plain t ff, John Highfield ; -he lived at Bowers, and was veil intimate with Ward; he was his tenant, and High field's family did all Ward's work on the farm. I heard Ward say many times, that as Highfivld behaved well to him, be should behave well to him. I was in the house when John and William Highfield came in Sep tember, ISIS. Tile plaintiff said, " Nuw. Mr. Ward, , I have gut this business done;" and Ward said to ma; 4, Billy, go and see if thee can find Hawley, to sign . Highfielif I deed of Bowers." I sent and brought Hawley in with me, for which Ward ordered hie asap of ale. When I came in, then/ was a sheet of writing on the table like that parchment. (Tire witreis at first did nit know what parchment meant.) Ward often spoke of Ifighfield, and called him ar J.ck." lie said he had a big family, and he would give him a deed. Ward had relations of his own;" but he said the heir at law, when he was young, bad had a • great deal more money thau he ever had, and had made It all away, so he should never have any of his, remained with. Ward till he died, and he continued in the same mind. Cross-examined—The servants of the house were present at the time when Ward said he had given Bowers to Highfield; it was between ten and eleven o'clock in the morning. Sarah Highfield—My name was Sarah Bragley. I lived with the late Joseph Ward 11 years and a guar• ter. lam now married to the son of the plaintiff. The witness then proceeded to corroborate the evidence of , the preceding witnesses, respecting the eucution of the deed, in September, 1818. by Joseph Ward. She said, before H.taley came in, Highfield was reading it, and . Ward at that time made the remark about the rough meadow; and atter Hawley came, Ward took the pen and made a :crumbling mark; he then said to the plain tiff to remember he had not given him any thing but Bowers. She said she was very fond of the Peakes, but that Ward was against them, and that he would not leave them any thing. Cross-examined—l don't know my age exactly ; I was 52 years of ae four years ago. The plaintiff did not make his son marry me after this law suit began. When my husband married me, his father cursed him and abused him for it, as he expected him to marry a fortune. I had been &lamented in this cause before 1 was married; I have ant been always on good terms with my father-in-law. I don't like him now, but I never said I would hang ldm at any time. I know a person named Prudence Sunday; I never said to her that if John Highfield had a deed of gift. it must be a forgery. Ikn Mary B.irtows; I never said to her, as GOD is my Saviour ; I be d—d it I did. The witnesa here became extremely violent, repe..tii.g to every que,- tion similar asseverations. Here, said she, is a parcel of false swearers. When Ward and Hawley had signed else deed, the plaintiff put it in his pocket. • Charlotte Cree had heard Ward say he -had .given Highfield a deed upon Bowers. Ann Cady, aged 81. said her mother was Joseph Ward's eldest si ter. She knew John Highfieid. WarJ was very fend ofhint till the time of his death. The witness was very angry w;tb him for giving Bowers to the plaintrff. Ward said the reakes s► . outd never have any of his. property; he would rather give it to a rag. ; man, a tinker, or a chimney-sweeper, than that the' Peakes should have it. Cross-examined—l have not entered into any agree- went with Highfield respecting a legacy of mine. If the Peakes had had the estate, I should have had a 201. legacy. Two other witnesses proved that Ward had said he had given Bowers to Highfield. The deed, dated the 16th of September, 1818, was then produced and read, by which it appeased that Ward gave Bowers to the plaintiff, on condition of his paying him an annuity of 501. per annum for his life. Mr. Camesam, (with whom was Mr. Sergeant Rue- SELL), in addressing the Just for the deressdant, sod, he was astonished at the astounding audacity of this man, who came into Court endeavousing to prove the validity of a sired, which he well knew was a for. fiery, whereby, instead of enjoying this property he claimed, be well knew that he had forfeited his life, and ought at this moment to be taking his trial at another bar, where the just punishmeat to his crimes would be death. He . ( Mr. Campbell) was this day prepared with evidence which, if the plaintiff was taking his trial at the Crown Bar, wculd bring home the charge of forgery to him ; and if the Jury Mere empowered to try him on that ch. ree. would place them under 'the painful necessity of finding him guilty. This case, which was comii.enced by the production and attempted establishment of a forged instrument, was supported by a tissue of perjury. The Learned Counsel here entered into a review of the evidence which had been, adduced in support of the plaintiff's case, pointing out the parts where the witnesses contradicted each other, and comparing the depositions taken in Chancery with the testimony given by the same witnesses this day, which lie contended contained some most important contra ctions—contradictions so material and evident, that if was not an issue out of thetourt of Chan cery. where it was expected that the evidence on both rides should be examined before this Court and a Jury. He should content himself by exposing them, and leave his case fearlessly in the hands of the Jury without any further evidence. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to detail toe evidence he should produce on ihe part of the defendant, whereby it would be proved that Ward, by different wills up to the time of his death, had pro vided for the Peakes by bequeathing them h s estates of Bowers and M Il Miest, subject to certa'n legacies; that it was not until after Ward's death that the: plaintiff ever thought of claiming the Bowers estate; that the plaintiff then offered 1001. to the clerk of Wised's attorney to get him a deed of gift drawn, which was refused ; that in Sept. 1819, be at last succeeded; in getting a deed of gift drawn, engrossed, and stamped ; and though the deed now produced was not the deed which he had thus obtained, yet it was an exact copy, word for word, actually containing the very in accuracies of the first. Is was impossible, continued the Learned Counsel, to suppose this was the effect of a miracle. It was true, that when the Hebrew Scrip tures were to be translated into Greek, 70 translators had been employed, and the translation of each was found to correspond in every word and syllable ; that was considered the effect of a miracle, and was one of the proofs of the authenticity of the Old Testament; but since. the Septuagint translatl.n, no such miracle had ever been heard of. In conclusion, the Learned Coun sel said that he was sure the Jury, when they heard the ample testimony he should produce to prove the charge he had made against the plaintiff, would be sorry they could not by their verdict impose that punishment upon him which he so notch - deserved.— But the hand of justice, though ilow, was certa n ; and the day was fast approaching a ton John Highfield would receive rise punishment by law imposed on _such offences; and to ensure that punishment, lie, Mr. Campbell, should feel it his duty to apply to his Lord ship, that the deed in question be impounded to an swer the purpo:,es of justice. • W. Loskley said, 1 was clerk to Mr. Memnon, a• attorney. residing at Mark-t Drayton. Mr.. Batterton was employed for the late Mr. Ward: during that ' period several wills were prepareiffor him. He used to make his mirk instead of writing his name. I think' the marls to the deed is like the cross he used to make., I •knear also Mr. Hawley, the attesting Witness.to this deed. I don't dna this is his handw►iting. In 1818, the plaintiff asked me to taepare a deed of gift of the Bowers estate for him. I asked him if he had brought me Ward's instructions, as it not, I must go to him for instructions first ? He said, I must not do that, I fault prepare the deed, and he would get it exe cuted himself. I sail I could not do-that. He said if I did he would give me 1001. 1 still refused. He came again to the office about a month alter, and again asked me to prepare the deed. I said he had better see Mr. Battetton. He refused to do that, and said, if 'I did not p• epare it, he would be d—d if he did not get somebody else to do it. I had orders before Wat a's death to distr,in on Mr. Highfield for rent. Henry Gray produced the will of Joseph Ward from the Court of the Bishop of Lichfield,' wbeteby he gave the estate of Bowers and Mill-Miest ro . John and Joseph Peake, subject to the payment of legacies to the extent of 5001. on each. Thomas Manly, a visiting clerk. residing at New. castle, said, that in September, 1819. he met the plain tiff; Highfield, in Newcastle. .He asked me to make him a deed of gitt. I ,aid 1 was not an attorney, but took him to one, where he gave instructions for a deed of gift, for conveying the Bowers estate to him. He never came fur it. He told me, on parting, not to mention it to any one. Mr. Ralph Lea, in 1819, was clerk to Mr. Preston, an attorney, of Buralem. In September, 1819, the plaintiff came to me at Hanley, and wanted a deed prepared, from a person named Ward to himself. 1 rtquested him to go over to Mr. Preston at Barslem.— The deed was drawn according to the draught I now produce; it was dated the 16th of Septen.ber, 1819 1 and by Highfield's direction the date was altered to the 11th of September, 1818 : he said he wanted it to agree with an..thei deed. Mr. Preston proved that he received instructions from the plasutiff to prepare a deed of gift in September, 1819.. The plaintiff gave him a paper, winch con tained the description of the premises and parties : he said he would take we and see the d.ed properly executed him .ell. Mr, Battetton, an attorney of Market Drayton, was attorney iormerly to the tate Mr. Ward: he found after his death, the deeds of the Bowers estate, which he gave to Thomas Peake. The witness demanded rent farm the phintiC !honour claimed the estate. Mr. Ward died in 1819. . Thomas Aubrey worked with the plaintiff at Ward's mill. I ask •d the plaintiff. now his landlord was read, how it would be ? He slid.' he supposed he should hold the farm for the remainder of his lease, and then be suppost d one of Peake's sons would take ir. Two sons of Mr: Hawley said. the signature to the deed of gilt, purporting to be his, was not in his hand. writing. Mr. Dent, an attorney, said the signature James Hawley was not in his handwriting; he would not be. lieve William Highfield on his oath. Prudence Streatley and Jane Burrows proved that they heard Sarah Bragly, now Mrs. Highfield, say that Highfield had no deed of gift: if be had, it must boa for gory. The deed having been produced and compared with the draught prepared by Mr. Preston, was found to currespnnd exactly. Mr. TAUNTON having replied at considerable length, Mr. Justice LITTLIMALZ summed up the evidence to the Jury, when, after some consideration, they returned a verdict fur the defendant, thereby declaring the deed invalid. • . . This trial commenced at ten o'clock. this morning, and lasted till nine o'clock at night. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ' GUILDHALL: Mr. Simmond•, the Assistant Vestry Clerk of Cripplegate, ap peared with tire inquest of the Ward, to take the Magistrate's opi faun relative to a seizure they had made in the shop Ma baker, who was not named. They found the scales accurate, and also the wdgbts ; but,if the ilb. weight was put in the proper scale, it would be balanced by placing only a Mb. loaf in the opposite one, in consequence of some machinery concealed beneath the latter, which was acted upon by merely throwing the weight in the weight scalp. The difficulty was, that the weights and scales were in themselves perfectly honest. The A I.DI IMAM at first suggested, the baker should be brought before him, in custody, but afterwards recom mended that it should be first ascertained how be might best be punished, whether by the general law, or some peculiar jurisdiction attaching in the City, or to the inquest as a body. BOW-STREET.
