ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. CHESTER, Sam 3. Before Mr. Justice Jsavw SHOOTING A GAMEKEEPER. John Royle, 18, John Taylor, 21, John Hanshall, 20, against whom bills were found at the last Assizes, were put to the bar, charged with shooting at Thomas Foster, one of the gamekeepers of the Earl of Stamford and Warrington, on the 23d of December last, with in tent to kill and murder. There were the other usual counts in the indictment varying the offence. The prisoners are some of a large party of poachers who were tried for the same offence at the last Assizes. They had then absconded, and contrived to keep out of the way until the 29th of August last, when they were appre hended, just in time to be tried at these Assizes. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom were Mr. TEMPLE and Mr. TRAFFORD), stated the case for the prosecution, and called the following witnesses : William Parkin (an accomplice) examined by Mr. 'l'm m PLE—I returned from Manchester on the 27th De cember, between eleven and twelve o'clock. I called at Wm. Hewitt's house, and went from thence to Joseph Fenna's house, where I lived. I went to bed about twelve o'clock. I slept in the parlour. Wm. Hewitt came into my room, and I got up. I found all the three prisoners at the bar in the house, besides a great many others. They had six guns with them. The prisoner, Taylor, brought one of the guns, and gave it to Joseph Fenna. The other prisoners, Royle and Hanshall, had both of them a gun. Hanshall'e gun was a detonator. We all went out together towards Birkenheath cover, to shoot pheasants. While we were on the road, the pri soner, John Hanshall, said he had bullets. I don't know that the other two prisoners were then within hearing. We went to Ashley Hall big meadow, and Joseph Mas sey, one of the party, shot a hare. When we got to Birkenheath cover, Joseph Fenna, one of the party, shot a pheasant, which I put into my pocket ; the prisoners were then present. When we got on the turnpike-road we saw the keepers. Some one said, " there are the keepers," and we all jumped over the hedge into a field. The keepers followed us. Thomas Hulbert, one of our party, said, in the hearing of us all, " D—n you, stand your ground." We ran on and did not stand—Hulbert then said, " D—n you, stand your ground, or I'll shoot you." We then ran over a foot bridge, over the river Birken, into Ashley. After we got over, the keepers still continued to follow us. Thomas Basford (Beresford) turned to the keepers, and said, " Are you not turning back yet—are you measured for your coffins ?" The keepers said, " shoot away ;" and we ran on through a plantation, the keepers following us. We halted there, and one of our party again said to the keepers, " are you not turning back yet ?" And the keepers said, " shoot away." Then three of our party presented their guns towards the keepers and snapped them. The guns did not go off, and we again ran away over another hedge. The keepers followed. One of our party again said, " Are you not turning back yet ?" The keepers said, " No." Then one of our party said, "If you do not, I'll shoot." The keeper said " shoot away." Thomas Bas ford, one of our party, then got a gun from the pri soner John Hanshall, and shot at the keepers. Two More shots were fired at the keepers, but not by either of the prisoners. Then we all ran away, and charged the guns again. I saw Basford charge his gun, and the prisoner Hanshall was aside of him when he was doing it, and gave him the ammunition. Han shall said, " put a bullet in ;" and Basford said, " give me hold of one." He gave him something which I did not see, and he put it into the gun. Hanshall said to Hulbert, " put a bullet in thine." Hulbert said, " I have got none, give me hold of one." Hanshall said, " here I have one," but I did not see him give it. Some one asked Hulbert if he had put a•bullet in, and he said " aye." We ran on to Ashley Bridge, and along the road towards Altringham. We passed a plantation.— Thomas Basford threw the prisoner Royle's gun into the plantation. We ran on further, and got nearly to Bank Hall. Basford said, " D—n 'em, we may as well turn back and fight them, for they will follow us all the way home." We then turned and stood. The keepers ran back when we stopped ; they might be about one hundred yards off ; Basford said " are you not turning back, or else we'll shoot you." The keepers said, " shoot away." Then three of our party, Basford and Hulbert and Joseph Massey shot at the keepers ; the prisoners Hanshall and Taylor were present, but Royle was not; he was with some of our party that did not turn round as soon as we did ; we all ran away again, and the keepers did not follow us any further. I was taken up the next day. Other witnesses were then called, in corroboration of the evidence of the accomplice. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. COTTINGHAM, for the prisoners, submitted that there was no evidence in this case to support the indict ment in the present form. It was framed under the Act of 9th Geo. IV. cap. 31, sec. 12, which contained a proviso, expressly limiting the capital felony to such cases as, if death had ensued, the crime would he murder, and not manslaughter. His LORDSHIP (after hearing the Counsel for the pro secution, contra) said, he should let the case go to the Jury, postponing his own observations on this point for the present. No witnesses were called to speak to the character of the prisoners. Mr. Justice Jzav is, in summing up the evidence, told the Jury that the keepers, in this case, were not autho rized by the Act of Parliament under which this indict ment was framed, to apprehend the prisoners at the place where the final encounter took place ; and that if they (the Jury) should be of opinion upon the evidence, that the keepers bad committed any assault upon the poachers ; or that the latter were under a species of imprisonment, then undoubtedly, the offence, if death had ensued, would amount only to manslaughter, and the present in dictment could not be sustained. His Lordship then recapitulated the evidence in great detail, commenting upon it as he proceeded, and directing an acquittal as to Hoyle, he not being present when the shot was fired, or, at least, not so near the man who fired as to be dee ' to concur in the act. The Jury retired to consider their verdict at half-past eight o'clock, and, after an absence of half an hour, re turned a verdict of Guilty againt Hanshall and Taylor, and Royle Not Guilty. The trial lasted seven hours.—Sentence deferred. BIGAMY. Josiah Thornton, aged 18, was indicted for bigamy. The prisoner was a native of Brinnington, and kept com pany with a young woman named Ann Knowles, who, becoming pregnant by him, was removed by the parish officers to her own settlement, Matlock, Derbyshire. The overseer of Matlock hearing that the prisoner was about to be married to another woman, caused him to be apprehended, when he consented to a union with Knowles, and the ceremony was performed in Matlock parish church, after two or three drops of rum had been given him to keep up his spirits, on the 11th of July; in the presence of the overseer and constable. On the 13th •of v• • July the prisoner again intermarried at the Collegiate church, Manchester, with Hannah Pearson, the young woman to whom he had paid his addresses, after aban doning Knowles, and on the 14th was apprehended at Brinnington. Verdict, Guilty. Sentence—two years' imprisonment and hard labour. OXFORD ClRCUlT—Gzaucwrza, Szrr. 5. MURDER. William Salewell, alias Sully, was indicted for the wilful murder of his wife Sarah, at Ruspedge Moon, St. Briavel's. Mary Ann Meredith examined by Mr. WATSON—I live at Cynyford, about a quarter of a mile front the pri soner's house. On the 23d of May, about nine o'clock, I was going home on the tram-road with a bushel of coal upon my head. I heard tho prisoner's wife cry murder. I did not know her before. I heard her cry murder a great many times. I was at some distance when I first saw them. I saw him kick her violently a great many times. The woman was sitting down. I passed by them close. I heard the wife tell the prisoner not to kick her any more ; she said, " Doesn't thee kick me no more." The prisoner said, "Then get thee up; d—n thy eyes, if thee doesn't get up, I'll give thee some more on't." The deceased said she could'nt. I saw him kick her again several times violently. I was frightened, and I passed by on my way home as quick as I could. I said nothing to the prisoner, I was so frightened. I might have been there five minutes. I looked back ;he was still kicking her. I met Llewellyn Reece ; I told him what I had seen. I saw him run towards them. I left my coal at home and went back again; the prisoner and his wife were still there with Reece, who was talking to them ; the wife was then standing up. I saw the prisoner and his wife go down together. The woman walked slow and quiet. It was light enough to see her,person ; there was a hole in her arm almost big enough to put my finger in ; it was all over blood. I heard no quarrel before I heard the cry of murder. The prisoner wore thick nailed shoes ; I didn't see the nails, but they were of that thick heavy kind which labourers wear, and which are nailed. He ap peared sober. lam sure I heard no quarrel. Llewellyn Reece—On the evening of the 23d May I met Mary Ann Meredith, and in consequence of her statement I walked quickly towards the place described ; I heard cries of murder from a female, following heavy blows. I then ran and found the deceased down upon the ground, and the prisoner standing over her, beating her with both his fists. I asked him what he beat her for ; he said she had been abusing him for drinking ; she replied, " No,William, I did not, only for your good." I could tell by his breath that he had been drinking, but by his actions and answers to my questions he appeared sober. Some other persons came up. I told him (the prisoner) to beat her no more. The Prisoner—l never touched her after. George Tindall, a boy about 14 years of age.—l saw the prisoner and his wife come home on the night of the 23d of May ; the wife walked lame, the child was with them; I think the prisoner carried the child; his wife was crying and complained of her side. I heard the pri soner say—" If thee doesn't hold thy tongue I'll beat thee more."—She said, " William, you've no need to beat me no more, I shall never want no more in this world :" this was about ten o'clock on Saturday evening. On Sunday morning I was there again ; his wife was lying on the bed; he was sitting. They had no chairs; the bed was hay and fog, on the floor. Ann Parry, a poor neighbour, took the deceased some tea, and administered such comforts as her poverty. al lowed, and after her death took her to her cottage and performed the last offices for her. She spoke to bruises on the head, &c. and stated that the prisoner threatened, if she didn't keep away, he'd do for her the same. Mr. Abel and Mr. T. Phillips, two surgeons, gave it as their opinion that the deceased died of the violence re ceived ; a rib was crushed, not so much broken as literally smashed. The Judge (Mr. Sergeant Ta DDY) with great clearness summed up the evidence. The Jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty. The Judge then condemned the prisoner to die on Saturday morning. The prisoner begged that his Lordship would not let him be dissected. This seemed to the prisoner the most awful part of his sentence. Peter Meggett and Robert Evans were indicted for burglariously entering the house of Thomas Hatten, at Coleford, on the night of the 24th of May last, and stealing therefrom a quantity of drapery and mercery g"Kbl Mr • . Cuawoon conducted • the prosecution : Mr.War sow the defence. Thomas Hatten, the prosecutor, said he kept a draper's shop at Coleford. On Sunday night, the 24th of May last, his house and shop were quite safe, but on opening the door next morning he found that part of the shutter had been broken or cut out, and goods to the value of 1001. taken away. Thomas Hawkins saw the prisoners together, near Coleford, on the 23d of May. They had with them a hawker's caravan. Meggett's name was on the caravan. Witness saw them again the following Tuesday ; the ca ravan was then standing by the side of the road. John Williams apprehended Meg,gett, and on search ing him found a phosphorus box and two pieces of riband in his breeches pocket. He found also his license as a hawker. He knew Meggett, and his name was on the caravan. On searching the other prisoner, he found in his sleeve part of a centre-bit. James Marsh, the chief police-officer of Gloucester, searched the prisoners' caravan, and found in it a dark lantern, and the handle of a centre-bit ;it fitted the piece found on the prisoner Evans, and with the holes cut in the window of the prosecutor's shop ; he found also in the caravan a number of articles of drapery, which the prosecutor proved to have been stolen from his shop. John Hatten, the prosecutor's son, said, that the pri soners sent for his father, and begged him to save them and have mercy on them, as there was nobody in Cole ford concerned with them ; the different articles found on the prisoners and in the caravan were now produced and sworn to by the witness as part of his father's property. Cross-examined—My father did not employ the pri soner to carry the goods to Gloucester. I have heard that another man has absconded. In his defence, Meggett said he had purchased the goods from another man as remnants. Mr. WATSON then called two witnesses, who gave Meggett a good character. Mr. Sergeant TARDY summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both the prisoners. Sentence of death recorded. It is stated that in the next Session of Parliament a clause will be introduced into the Ucensing Act to prohibit public. houses to open on Sundays earlier than one o'clock in the forenoon. Under the new Police, it is slid that each man will pass every point in his station once in every quarter of an hoer. The main entrance to Covent Garden has been erected over a public-house, which has been carrying on its business all the time ; and in &. George's. Hanover-squire, while two public basica are rebulkllng, the trade of earl is carried on in sheds erected in the streets. CORK, August 20. CORRIIIIKOIDZIII OF 11111 11.0114M10 =RAM The Munster Bar, to the number of sixty, met here yesterday, to consider an indignity offered to thjl t r oa rofession. is the person of one of their brotherhood, a Mr. The cir cumstances were these :—A toll.case came on for examination at the Petit Sessions of Bruff, before two Magistrates--ooe of deem, Mr. O'Grady, brother to the Chief Baron ; with the name of the other Mr. Croak was not acquainted. Doting the inquiry. Mr. Croak, attempting to address the Court, was immediately ordered to desist. He asserted his right to be heard; the Court denied it ; he still insisted ; and the Magistrates threatened him with confinement Uhe persisted aay further. Mr. Croak said that no magisterial threat should tempt him to swerve from his duty to his client, and still continued, when the Magistrates or dered him to be taken into custody, in which be was detained for upwards of 40 minutes. His release was offered, provided be apo logised to the Bench for the contempt of their authority. This he indignantly refused, and was ultimately enlarged without any cone cessions. The mistake (for se, it seeing, it was) au the part of the Magistrates, was owing to the power they possess of refusing to bear a lawyer in cases of examination previous to prosecution, with which set of cases they confounded the toll-case out of which the circumstances which caused yesterday's meeting arose.— That was a cue of right, involving a good deal of legal subtlety, and surrounded. as sub cases usually are, with many legal diScul ties. It was to be decided in that Court on its merits, and, there fore, Mr. Croak claimed the right of being beard as to the law of the case. The Bar was very indignant, and to a man were unani. mous in laying a strong statement of the case before the Lord Chancellor. Should that not be satisfactorily attended to, they mean to institute an inquiry into the conduct of the Magi strates before the Court of King's Bench. I sent you an account of the adjustment of the ease of Byng against Callaghan, which took place in our County Record Court on Friday last. Before it was brought into Court, a proposition was made to Mr. Callaghan, stating that if he paid a hundred pounds to one of the public charities, apologised to the complain ing parties and paid aU the expenses which had hitherto been in curred, the suit would be abandoned. To this Mr. Callaghan re turned a decided negative. It was then proposed to him to pay the expenses alone, but he was adamant. It was evident that Mr. O'Connell was not privy to the conciliating course about to be adopted by the Solicitor-General, and the first intimation of it came upon him like a thunder-clap. He was highly, and by no means silently indignant, characterising the proceedings for the plaintiff in the following distich The King of France, with twenty thousand men, Went up the hill an d then—came down again. The most spiteful of Mr. Callaghan's political opponents do not scruple to say that the agents of Byng betrayed the cause of their employers—but this petty ebullition of party rancour meets the contempt it merits. Silly as was the rumour, it was not slow to gain credence even amongst men otherwise sinsiblo—so blind it prejudice and political spite. The real cause of the sudden adju.t raent was in some informality in the mode of proceeding, which would render it necessary to go over the whole ground again. The Catholic Question being settled, we were at a great loss for some topic on which to found a Public Meeting to bring out Mr. O'Connell, until Corporate Monopolies presented themselves. A requisition founded upon these was laid on the table of the Chamber of Commerce ; but men are becoming so tired of agitation now, that, though it lay for five or six days, only about the same number of names were attached to it. In consequence of this, an advertise. ment.without the names of the requisitionists, appeared in the Cork papers, and the meeting is left to accident. Mr. O'C. will be enter tained to-morrow at a public dinner, which was originated at the Cork City and County (formerly Liberal Club) Reading Room. The cheapness of the ticket-7s. 6d.—and the meanness of the place frotrl which it originated, rendered the Catholic Aris tocracy of the Chamber of Commerce averse from joining In it ; but a notice being placed on the Chamber door, stating that no thing could be more agreeable to Mr. O'Connell than to meet the citizens of Cork under circumstances which allowed the people to assemble around bins, decided the wavering, and the Chamber Aristocrates were compelled to yield to the Democrats of the Li beral Club Room.

Tuesday but a match of Cricket was played by eleven Gentle- Gentlemen of Beckenham, and eleven Gentlemen of the Elthant Union Club. at the cricket ground, Beckenham. The Union woo the match in one innings, which redound. much to their credit, the Beckenham Gentlemen being considered some of the finest players in the county of Kent. All reasonable fears as to the harvest, it is to be hoped, may be now at an end, and sunshine and plenty be allowed to dis sipate the grumbling. of the most inveterate croakers. Yesterday evening an inquest was held by THOMAS Snainio, Esq. at the Middlesex Hospital, to ioquke into the death of David Woollen, aged 45 years, a caner in the employ of Messrs. Penny and Brooks, the coal-merchants of Northomberbed-wharf, Strand. Mr. C. Waite, house-surgeon of Middkeex Hospital, de posed that the deceased was brought to the hospital on Wednesday last in a hackney-coach. When taken out of the coach be was quite dead. He bad an extensive bruise on the right side of ibis ab domen, and from its appearance, it was evident the deceased bad suffered great internal injury. lin examining his body more minutely, it was discovered that several of his ribs were broken, and ehs•ab domeo was filled with extravasated blood. These injuries were the cause of his death. Mr. S. J. Salter.

Yeeterday, a man apparently upwards of SO jean of ate, wh o gave his name as Robin', was placed at the bar, charged by Bow s , the officer, with having attempted to pick an elderly Lady's pocket. Bates stated that yesterday morning, as be was walking along lialoso.street, Aidenpte.street, he observed a Lady, having two men on one side of her, and the man at the bar on the other, the latter and one of his friends each having his hand in her pocket on his respective side. Bates hid hold of Robins, with whom be bad a most desperate struggle, but succeeded in keeping him, whilst his colleagues made their escape with their booty. Robins, hew. ever, had not been able to draw any thing, notwithstanding his lingers and thumbs were smeared with cobkr's wax. Robins, of course, denied all knowledge of his friends, and said, that for his part, he was going just the contrary way, and he was not near the Lady. Sir Preen. Lanus inquired whether the prisoner was known at the Dice, when Mr. Teague, the keeper of the Compter, replied that he had a recoUecdon of his face as being one of theK Divi dend Minters," a set of men who were in the habit of attending the Bank during the payment of the dividends, and that as soon as they observed an elderly female receive her dividends, they marked her, and very frequently did not quit her until they sent her home as light in pocket as before she had left in the morning. The bit of wax was usually pat on the fore-finger and thumb, so as to render it next to an impossibility for the notes or packet to slip out of their clutches. Robins, by way of accounting for the appearance of the wax on his digits, said that be was a shoemaker. Sir Pma 'Allan remanded him. BOW-STREET. Two foreign Jews, tamed Philip Levy and Menton Barfiena, were last night, i at a late hoer, charged with robbing another fo reign Jew, named Matthias eassar, of property to the amount of 4001.—The prosecutor had been in the habit of travelling the coun ties of Worcester and Oxford, for several years, and on Wednesday last he was lodging at the Duke of York, in Worcester, and bad deposited his " pack" in his sleeping room. The two prisoners came to lodge there on the same day, and, finding them In distress, he treated them to the best the house afforded. During the same day it was discovered that the key of the prosecutor's room had been stolen from the bar, and his " pack" robbed of a £5O Bank notes, and all the stock of watches and jewellery. Fortunately there was a secret drawer, containing four £2O and several £.5 note and sovereigns, which the thieves did not discover. The prosecutor set off in pursuit of the robbers, and overtook them at Colobrook, where be found them on the Oxford coach, called the Paul Pry. He was on the mail, and the latter proceeded on at a rapid rate to Hounslow, and the constables of the division being called up, the Paul Pry was stopped, the prisoners apprehended, and the missing property found—pat in two blue bags, which they had given in charge to the guard, and the remainder on tbeir per sons. They admitted the robbery without the least hesitation.— They were remanded fur further examination. hlAitY-LA-BONNE. _ _ _ Mahal: Whey, a middle-aged woman, was yesterday placed at the bar before W. Itsvniuson, the presiding Magistrate, charged with literally stripping her ready-furnished lodgings. Mrs. Alice Woodger, a woman of most respectable appearance, residing in Devonshire-street, Lisson-grove, stated that about sit weeks since the prisoner, end a man whom she represented as her husband, came, and after looking at her ready-furnished lodgings, agreed te take them, and after remaining about a month, absconded. taking with them the key, and a week since, on the door being broken open, it was discovered that the room bad been stripped, and the feathers taken out of the bed. She heard no more of the prisoner until she was seen going into a house In the neighbourhood. Thomas Henry Thompson. a Bow-street patrol, stated that he received information that the prisoner bad been seen to go into her daughter's house, and he immediately went in and apprehended her. She at first denied all knowledge, but afterwards said that If the robbery bad been committed, her husband must have done it. The officer concluded by stating that the relations of the prisoner were most notorious characters—one having been recently trans- ported, and another at present in Newgate. The woman positively denied the charge, and was remanded un til Monday. Aseph Lindsey, a boy about twelve years of age, was placed at the bar, charged with obtaining under false pretences a saddle and bridle, the property of Lieutenant Higgins, an officer in the army, residing at Portland-terrace, Regent's Park. Martin M'Cany, a groom in the service of the Lieutenant, stated that he was at his master's stables about nine o'clock yesterday morning, when the boy at the bar came to him, and brought him the following note : " Have the goodness to lend me your saddle and bridle for a few hours. (Signed) " And underneath the note were the words, " Martin. give my saddle and bridle." The latter remark the servant supposed to have been written by his master, and gave the boy the saddle and bridle. His master a short time afterwards came to the stables, aid it was then disco. vered to be a fraud, no note having been written by Mr. Cole, or taken to Mr. Higgins. A woman in the same service corroborated M'Carty's testimony, but a servant to another Gentleman thought it was not the pri soner—in fact be was certain of it. The prisoner was ordered to be detained. At Aldingbourne, odover, to Isabel!, secnod daughter of the late Lord Heory Howard. At St. Paul's, Covent Garden, J. Barclay, Eq. to Sarah, daughter of J.
