kb, now hollow wound ?—I think the blow on his head sounded most hollow—(A laugh.) I dare say: poor man, he could not help It ; he did not make his head. You had a pleasant evening, eh?—Yes, a very pleasant evening. Plenty of joking and laughing?—Yes. a good deal. ThQre Sus a Mr. lawrenson, horn Warrington, there?—Yes, there was a Gentleman from Warrington. And he was very witty oti the defend ant's large mouth, eh 3—Yes.

Mr. BROUGHAM—A very lively evening you seem to haie had P—Not so very ,lively; know I went away sober—(A laugh). Mr. BROUGHAM addressed theJuty far the defendant. He regretted that, instead of coming to Lancaster, the parties had riot Made a second expedition to Birtenhead, and had another night of feasting, wit, and practical joking. Now that the plaintiff had exchanged his spear for a.pruning hook, acid his helmet for a pewter pot— now that he no longer pursued the bubble at the can non's mouth, but quietly watched it at the mouth of the barrel—heought to learn to live in peace with his cus tomers, instead of proclaiming the _empty sound that issued from his bead ;o the whole county palatine of Lancaster. The Learned Counsel concluded a mewl ingenious and humorous speech by calling on the Jury ' to give trifling damages. The Jury found for the plaintiff—bamages 10/. STAFFORD, Marten 20. Elizabeth Wllletts was indicted for bigamy, jn.baving hanged Joseph Parsons, her husband Edward Willett. being then alive; and she was also indicted for the manslaughter of Parsons on the Ist of Augdst. A bill' for petty treason bad been presented, but torown out. ' The prisoner first wok her trial on the manslaughter. . Mr. flonserr, for the .prosecution, called iiiisabeth Bennett, Of Rowley, a nailer (a maker of nails). ?knew :Josh Parsons, the deceased, and the prisoner. They were living together is min and wife. On the la Of August last I was work thit name shop. He cone in afterbreakfist, a tittle after tea. The "Ashore nod Parham bad words, and quarrelled nearly 5 hours. The quarrel acne about his breakfaht not being kept warm for him. When they came to work after dinner, between two and dime o'clock, they continued quarrelling , an d the deceased told ash prialmer he would bringleetWo fir three of her old customer,, atsd dley'should Mete liar 0 ail/penes s-pleee." The prisoner said, "If you tell me that word again, I will throw the red-hot iron at' thee." They were then both making nails. The prisoner had , a 'little short Iron rod for that purpose; one end was in the fire, the ,other in her hand. The deceased had 1 hammer, or a scosthig, in _dais hands The prisoner said to Hits, "If thee doe't d—n---, fp we to do it I did,nrst weavee whether the deceased had his band up. I taw what the primate did, but could not see what the deceased was doing. The prisoner minsediatety threw the seen for Wards rim. Icould not rev whether* hit him. She made to the door, half she was afraid of 'befog beat. Wien Rae tot So the doer, eke turned back, and ran to the deceased, sod pot her arm round his neck .nether hand on his tartan, and she said, " Oh, Joe, what have I done? I have killed him. I have killed our Joe, but I did' not think of doing it." I had seen no blood before, but on hearing then words, I looked and saw the blood running. I cried oat" Murder!" the deceased dropped upon his knees, threw himself • batik three hfines, and died within' throe minutesnfter the blow. Ile *as car ried into bit own house, and I saw the wound ; it was a little hole, a smillplace. I never saw the iron after it was throWn, until I taw It in the constable's hand. 'Cron-examitted by Mr. Itststaans.-- ) They bad been quarrelling for five hours. •Parsons's words were von - offensive, and sot:hos Unsold Mum armodest woman Most pain. He did not. strike her while I was in she shop. From what INW I believe-1m waagoing to stribeiter, and she most ba.e.thought the same. Aker the iron wis throws, she expressed as much sorrow's it was possible. The, decomed was in fault during the gannet, and the prisoner bad en deavoured to pacify him. Jane Baddeley, a young girl, who was ivorkingwitiz th e m on the I r litbd August, gate the-same account of the transaction. Before ' 'Hietiren was throWo, I could see the prisoner, bet could not see the 'atoned. She took the Iron 'from her left band, and put It into her rallst, and hung it at Mkt. 1 tdrned round, saw blkia rub • idlehis breast, and the blood loasling, and I got out of the window as fast as I could, and ran away. When 1 returned, INrioria *fa dead. I did not see Parsons when the iron was Artileo. They had been quarrelling four or five hours. -Gems. Taylor, constable, was sent for to Parsons's house between 'two -sad three ; Parsons was dead ; the iron was-given to him ; it .. was used in making nails; witness produced it. (It was a thin rod, poTeted at one end, about eighteen inches long.) I said to fbre ptitbr,'"-Ilow Could you have done this r She said, " Oh, Mr. Taylor, I'vrould net have dole it for the world it I bad known." 4Daniel Shaw, surgeon, examined the body on the 5d of August; footrdaywound on the left breast, between the first and secood rib ; it was a small orifice. I probed the wound, it passed through the left lobe Of the lungs into the heart ; the ventricles of the heart were In a collapsed state; he could 'not have lived long after the mound. Elizabeth Bennett said the iron produced was the very iron, but more beat than it was then. The sharp end was hot for three or four inches. Jane Badddeley said it was the same Iron. Mr. RICHARDS submitted that the offence laid was not proved. The quarrel, which had lasted for so many hoots, the menacing attitude of the deceased, and the ase of an instrument which, at the time of the extreme provocation was in her (prisoner's) hand, and which was• not likely in the ordinary course of defence to cause, death, made it an act of self-defence. The chances I that were against the instrument's producing death were almost infinite. Mr. Baron VACGHAN thought the act amounted to freesia tighter. Mr. nic HAIM called Sarah Perry, hut she did not answer. 4 Mr. Baron VAL:CHAR.—This indictment imputes, to the prisoner at the bar the crime of manslaughter. Wherever death ensues from the act of a party, the law preiumes it to be malicious, and the of fence murder. It is therefore incumbent on the ac cused to reduce the offence. The prisoner has redueed it to manslaughter; boys do not think shehas reduced further. The nran'lntd given as strong provocation as . words can occasion, she having 'at the time the instrn ment in her hand. The subsequent words "It t' ee dost," must have alluded to something, a scoving or a hammer, which the deceased had in his heeds. it doe; not appear he did anything; but it is tair . to infer there was some menace, though it is clear be did not strike her. Her conduct afterwards mai ks that be act MIS done in a state of violent excitement, on a sadden and mnmentery provocation, and not maliciously. lideath had been contemplated, it might not bare occasi nod °ace in : - thousand times, but it is an extremely dam ,gerous instrument. 1 Ohl, therefore, the act doe., amount to the crime of manslaughter. Verdict at Manslaughter." The prisoner was then, after a short - discuu:ion, again put up - to , take her trial for bigamy. Mr. Storm, tor trie proseention, called Catherine Smith—The prisoner was married eo Edwd. Willetts, e'Dudley, to December, MO. I was present at the marriage. They lived toseaer as man and wife. I have not seen Willett' fur the last four years. I was present at another marriage of the pri- • - toner with Imelda Pacsoes, M ReaMlt. ISIS. Their BeWlepther as man and•wife. • Cross-etsmined by Mt. amuses—Willetts was transported. Thomas Partridge, constalle of Rowley—Knew Willett., and knows the prisoner. Saw Viilleits in Staffortll Gaol on the 4th of last August. at the time I took the prisoner there. • Cress-examined—Willetts was am transported in 1822, and escaped and came home. Mr. Ilictraftos, for the defence, called Mr. Spurrier—l know Mr. Lewis, of West Brornwith, the Magistrate. He is in an infirm state of health, and cannot attend. Barah Perry went with the prisoner to Mr. Lewli, who told her she might marry again, as her husband was transported. Thomas Bretton, the Governor of the gaol, said the prisoner bad conducted herself with great propriety whiten In his cattody. Mr. Baron VntroarAw observed, that the prtsamprion of the death of the husband from his being tvansptited, did not arise, and therefore the prisoner was legally gu•lty. Verdict —[Guilty. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN (to the prisoner)—l have at tended to your case, and lament that you gave way to ynur passions which produced the fatal consequence you could not have contemplated. It ought to be a lesson how we suffer our passion to lead to acts. There ate many circumstances of mitigation. lam willing to he. hese that you really fancied yourself the wife of Par sons, and therefore felt more deeply those expressions which induced you to do the fatal act. There are shades in crimes, and I think yours is of the lighten kind.— The judgment of the Court is, that you be imprisoned for two calendar months. DORCHESTER, Ways so. A very voluminoss report of the trials connected with the disturhAnoes at the late election at Weymouth, has been received. Several persons were found guilty of riotous conduct; but the circumstances are totally destitute of interest. • E tiNIS, MA 100 10. Ake Lek*, a boy, about 13 years of a'e, and the post-boy on the line of road between Ennis and ICU dysart, was tried for taking Newspapers out of the post-bag on his route. The charge was clearly proved in evidence, and the boy was found guilty. His Loabante considered this a trial of great pUblic interest. He thought there was a -negligence ors the part of the Postmasters, when it appeared the sub-' scribers were complaining of not receiving their Papers regular. However, his Lordship might take the youth df The delinquent into consideration, he felt it necessary to promulgate the law, that it might be publicly known a severe penalty was attached to such crimes; and he did so, that it might deter others in a higher situation from being guilty of a like offence. His Lordship Con sidered it of a class of crime which ought to be severely punished, and he would recommend Postmasters to be more careful in future, when sending off and receiving the mail bags, and also to attend to the consplaints that are made by subscribers. LONGFORD. At these Assizes four men were sentenced to death, and ten persons I. transportation. Several trials took place there for crimes connected with the dist Orbed state of the country. A sue of horrible murder, committed la tthe month ofJont last, on a mem named Needham, a Prottittlnt, excited intense interest. • Two men, named Budhafittqx and .Pinergan, were tried on Ilsithalay last for -ihis; offence, which was charicterised 'by peculiar traits of atrocity. After a patient investigation of several hours,l and a most luminous charge from the Judge, both the prisoners were found Gasilly, and received sentence of Death. eestardayobout one o'clock, the criminals were Monts forward for mecution t Di msigan appeared nearly lifeless sand insensible, but his comrade stepped upon. the platform With the utmost firmness, and immediately, with a loud voice, called to the immense surrounding multitude to kneel down and pray for him, for that he was going to die for his country and-his religion. The attendant Clergyman very properly stopped this harangue,. and the culprit, after souse time spent in prayer, seemed more sensible of his awful situation. With a firm ton'e he again called aloud to the people to pray for him, and entreated thefts to pursoe'tbt.advice of their parents and their Priests, and to avoid bad company and night-walking, to which he owed his Un timely end. The drop fell, and the struggle of life was soon'over. It is satisfactory to add, that Bechannan, in private, acknowledged his guilt, and the justice of his sentence. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILIM&LL.
