•e ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. --~-~ YORK, Masco .27, IMPORTANT TO SURGEONS AND APOTHECARIES. ROBINSON V. HEPWORTII.—This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a surgeon, residing at Hud deesfield, against the defendant, to recover the sum of , 1l t. 16. 6d. being the balance of a bill delivered for medicine, and attendance, on the defendant and family. Mr. BLACKBURN, for the plaintiff, was about to call' the apprentice, to prove the attendance of the plaintiff on the defendant and his family, and that the medicines charged in the bill were furnished ; when Mr. Justice BAYLEY stated, such evidence would not be sufficient, until it should be first shown, that the plaintiff was a Member of the College of Surgeons, or in practice before August, 1815. Evidence was then adduced, chewing that the plaintiff had been in practice sixteen or seventeen years; and the plaintiff's apprentice proving the delivery of a bill, and a promise of payment by the de fendant, a verdict was given for the plaintiff. Hannah Whitaker was indicted, charged with inter marrying with Joseph Robinson, in July last, her hus band John Whitaker, being still living. It appeared that the prisoner was married to John Whitaker, in the year 181$, and that afterwards—to wit, in the year 1825, she married Joseph Robinson. John Whitaker was a clothier, and resided at Horseforth, near Leeds. He lived with his wife from the year 1813 to the year 1820, as comfortably and as happily as poor folks gene rally do. His father deposed, that he had a good fur nished house like; two roma below, and one great chaimber, as yore may say abeove. In the year 1820, the times became very hard, so hard, that poor John Whit taker could not squeeze a living out of them, and therefore he determined to go - to that land, which though it neither flows with milk nor honey, is nevertheless frequently called " the Land of Promise,".—or, to use the words of John's father, " he maark cop' his mind to go to Ameriker." Now what was to be done? for John had no money to carry him thither. He was determined, however, no; to be diverted front his purpose by trifles ; and notwithstanding John had been credibly informed, that pigs, ready roasted, with knives and forks stuck in their backs, crying out " come eat me, eat me," had left off running about the streets of the nuked States, yet he was quite satisfied that a man stood a better chance of setting a share of the good things of this life in the American state of Neat Yolk, than in the English county of old York. John, therefore, determined upon selling his furniture, and thereby raise money to carry him " 'cross tvarter," as the good 'people in Yorkshire 'have it. The goods were sold, all but one bed and two chairs, which he left for the use of his wife and chil dren. The proceeds of the sale, with the exception of two pounds, which he gave to his wife, John Whittaker put in his pocket, and after taking a tender leave of his wife and three children, departed for Liverpool. His dep.irture was not at all disigreeable to his faithleis rib, Hannah ; for when old. Whittaker asked her hew she meant to " mayntain" herself and children, she re plied, she neither knew nor cared, but she'd surer en courage her husband in going than discourage him. For a few weeks after John had gone ." to seek hisiortune like." his wife lived with her hosband's brother; but he not being able to support her, she and her children were oblised to gq to the poor-house, where they re mained for about fourteen months. At the end of this time, fur John had not forgotten his wife, she received from him thirteen pounds ten shillings, accompanied by a letter desiring her to hold herself in readiness to join Lim in Ante:lea. This invitation she replied by a letter beginning in the usual phrase—" this comes hopping it may find you well, as it leaves me at present, thanked be Gun (or it," and stating that she was quite willing to join her dear John " on t'ot!er side warier," but she did not like to go by herself, and therefore boed he would come and fetch her. This appeared to Whitaker rather an unreasonable request. He did not doubt, however, the love and fidelity of his wife. He went on working hard and saving his earning, and the next year he sent her about fifty pounds, and recommended her to a friend of his, in whose company she might cross the Atlantic. Still, however, Hannah demurred; and though her hos band afterwards remitted her twenty pounds more, she chose to remain in England, rather titan join her law ful spouse in his adopted country. The truth is—and the truth must be told, Hannah had become religious, aril had joined a sect of over-pious Christians, called by the profane, " Ranters," and designated by the initiated " primitive Methodista." Now, it was Hannah's for tune--or rather, as the event turned our, misfortune—to belong to the same class as one Joseph Robinson, a' young man, who, though much filled with the spirit of piety, had nevertheless room left in a canter of his heart' for the reception of a passion of a less heavenly descrip tion. When or where Joseph first became enamoured v.ith Hannah, or Hannah with Joseph, did not appear. There was no evidence adduced to thew whether it was at a " class meeting." or a " love feast ;" but the gene ral opinion is, that it Must have occurred at the consum mation of the latter ceremony. Be this as it might, certain it is they were mutually stricken with each other; and that they continued in such Stricken state for the SPaCe Ot nearly two years, before marriage. dur ing which time the celebration of the " love feast" was, no doubt, fiequently repeated, but of this there was no evidence. Joseph Robinson 'was the friend of John Whitaker, and it was amply proved, that he was per fectly aware that John was n.t dead. Joseph, being a religious man, must have been informed of the very different conduct of his namesake of old, when tempted by the wife of his friend and master Potiphar. Joseph the younger, however, followed net the chaste example of Jos-pa thealder, out u with force of arms and other illegal weapons," as the law phrases it, invaded the chas tity of the wife of his old friend. When the fact of the marriage became known, a neighbour of Hannah's re marked to her, that she had but a short courtship. " Nay," replied Hannah, 44 thou knowest that Joseph and I know'd one another before John went, and we han courted not very short o' two years sen."—" Ay, but," said the neighbour. " theyr be kiiin John know a/not it, and he'il be coming back,"- r " Well on he dofs," an swered Hannah," 111 stick to Joe still." It appeared that the neighbour did not prophesy in vain ; for John, 'eating of Ins wife's infidelity, came home, and accord. tog to the evidence of one of the witnesses, immediately ti ok away his children from her, and proceeded to sell all that she had, " missing her clothes."—ln the cross es timination of a witness tor the prosecution, he admit ted that he never knew u anything that was bad of Hannah, only getting married." In her dekthe ilastnaa Sir,;he never would ha' returned back, it hie friends burnt sent him word to come and prosecute me. B e kept telling use before he went, that we never war right mar ried, as we u:ur not .married in hie own n ame . I did i t i g norantly —knowing note about Law, as if there never roue no law in country." Th e defence, as it may be supposed, did not satisfy the Jury, who found a verdict of &malty. Joseph Rolih - son was then put to the bar, charged with feionionsty mimyias littemah. Whittaker, know ing her to be the wife of anoster man, and thereby, with force of arms, aiding and abetting, cornrorting and assisting 4 .4 the said Hannah in the commission of a felony, against the peace of our Lord the King, Ms crown and dignity," &c. The details of this case were very similar to those of the last. One of the witnesses deposed, that two or three months before the prisoner married Hannah, he, asked " how John tour getting on like in Auterikur ; that is, how he tour doh', as you may say." The prisoner, being called on for his defence, merely observed : " The woman told me she wur at liberty for marriage, and so by thit purpose we got married. She said that John told her, berm., be went to Anerikur, be war never lawfully married."—Guilty. Mr. Baron HULLOCK sentenced the woman to nine, months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, and the roan to twelve months' and bard labour. Lee and Atkinson were then sentenced to banged for horse steal ing. —The prisoners beard their sentence with apparent indifference. Peter Little was indicted for assaulting• Robert Bur rowes on the King's highway, putting him in bodily fear, and feloniously taking from him 4291. in Bank notes and bills of exchange. Robert Burrows stated, he was a butcher residing in .Manchesser ' and in the habit of 'attending Wake fi eld Market. On the 7th of this month, he was going there, accompanied by Edmund Scholefield. About half a mile from Wakefield, between six and seven o'clock in the evening, he observed the flash of a pistol, and heard the report.on the left side the road. Several men made their appearance, and immediately after another pistol was fired from the right, and the witness was struck on the stomach by something which he afterwards disco vered to have been a pistol-I:mil, which had glanced off by striking some halfpence in his waistcoat pocket. In his defence, witness struck at several of the men, but his horse being frightened, he lost his balance, and was pulled to the ground by his coat-laps. He begged them to take his money and spare his life, but they beat him severely with pistols and sticks, and then tore out his inside waistcoat pocket, containing seven bills of exchange and notes amounting to the sum of 4291. They also took a knife, a comb, two crooked halfpence, and half a black lead pencil, the whole of which the witness saw the following day, in the possession of Mr. Read, at Leeds. The witness never saw. the prisoner at the bar before, but believes him to be the man who shot at him. The witness's head still exhibited mat ks of the violence with which he had been treated. This statement was corroborated by several witnesses. The waistcoat woes by the prosecutor at the time the robbery was committed s .was sow produced, and the pocket found on the i pelsoser containing the silver and notes was found to correspond with it.—Burrowes was then re-called, and Identified the different articles.—The prisoner offered no defence, except that he had found the property.—Guilty—Deoth. MONMOUTH, M•sca ttS. 13toanv.—Tkoreses Awes otherwise Thema Thomas, was inditted for feloniously intermarrying with one Anne Thomas, spinster, he well knowing that his former wife, Mary Jones, wai then alive.

Guilty. Mr. Byron. appealed a his Lordship for remittance of the amount of punishment of the prisoner by a short confinement. His Lordship, who assented, said, " Why, Mr. Brum., as they are mealmongers—you have sifted them weil."—( A bugle.) On another trial, Lord Noasuar asked—ls your husband a com mon labouring man?—" Yes, my Lord." Upon my word, you are a very decorous-looking woman—a respectable woman--a high character.—(Great laughter.) The husband was brought up—said be lived on Gimbel But ler's land. Lord Nosegay—You are very fortunate in having such a woman for your wife. Husband—Thank yoar Lordship ; she is the mother of ten children, your Lordship. I hope your Lordship will give her a trifle for the children. (Roars of laughter, in which his Lordship heartily joined.) James biberiden and /Word Burley were indicted for stealing four sheep, the property of Nicholas Wilson. N. Wilson said he traced his sheep to a person of the name of Hetherington, hits. . The following dialougue took place between this witness and Lord Norbury Lord Noestrar (to Wilson)—Whoa your landlord? Wilson—Captain Critchley was, my Lord ; but be is now dia mond (deceased). (Laughter). Lord NOILIULY Where do you live? Wilson—l live in Hacketstown, my Lord. Lord Nosever—At Hacketstowa! ay. You recollect the re belliao.

Lord NOll3llllY—You ' re a monstrous clever fellow; take care of your farm, and be ready to fight-for it. Wilson (making a profoundly Modest acknowledgment)—Long life to your Lordship. Lord Noaauav (to the Clerk of the Crown)—Well, give him four guineas. And, do you bear, Sir? put that in your pocket, go home, take care of your farm,. and don't be afraid of the rebels.— (Immense laughter. )—Acesiiiled. A man was indicted for stealing an old saddle. One of the re- tiring Jury, net considering six months' imprisonment sufficient punishment for stealing an add saddle, wished to retire. His Lord ship directed that the old saddle be given to him, that he might ro tire upon it.—(Loud laughing.)—Not Guilty. Owen Conroy was indicted for stealing •twelve stone weight of potatoes, the property - of Thomas Hill. The prosecutor, a school master, swore, that worried by repeated thefts, and weary of watch tog his potatoes, be drove pins of berms, into these potatoes ; that on the night of stealth, he found potatoes in prisoner's house corro monding to those he lost. Court—Who knows that the prisoner did not pin his own pota toes?—(Laughter). " 011, no, my Lord, my pins were peculiar ; some were long, some short, and some designedly broken"—(Laughter).—Gaiky. The next case bf interest was the trial of the Charter-school teacher for cruelty. A witness stated, that•after each of live or six whippings with a rope, he was sent back to work a sum which he did not perform. The Court observed that he was getting the sum on the wrong end—(Laughter).

WILLIAM Hula, a fine youth nine years of age, was killed in Crawford-street, Wary-la-bonne, on Saturday. lie was playing at rwirbles, and so intent on his game that he did not per ceive a cart heavily laden, by which be was knocked down, and so dreadfully bruised as to survive calf a few minutes. The first snow which has been seen at Southampton this winter, was on Thursday morning and night last, when a considerable quantity fell.—The hills that sur round the town of Huddersiteld were cove re d w i t h snow on Friday morning, which had fallen in the night. OUTRAGES IN IRELAND. • • 41 4 0 " r:. Ribbon processions took plate on St. Patrick's Day. One thousand are said to have marched into Portglenone, decorated with •ribbonv some with sashes, discharging musketry and pistols as they. went along, " insulting Protestants," and firing a volley at " the Established Church." The Ribbonraen were roughly handled at Bellaghly and Tamlaght. On, the same day 5000 Ribbonmen assembled at Toom-bridge, and divided themselves into different corps, "one of which, 1000 strong, proceeded to . Castledawson, where they walked, with colon's flying and music playing.— They met a tipsy Protestant, with whom they had a tif: Eight hundred- Ribbonmen marched through Carhindall. Having committed a riot in a public house, the Police were called out, but the Police were beaten, and the rioters celebrated their victory by drum and fife. At MAgberafelt the conflict was more seri ous. A man was murdered, and two men wounded. At the Enniskillen Assizes, John Maguire was in dicted for " that he, on the Bth of December last, at Scariff, did administer an unlawful oath to Dominick Noon, - to the nature and purport following, That he, said Dominick N'on, toordd be true and failk ful to the Holy Raman Catholic Religion, and would' keep Protestants down as well as he could; and that he would not discover any of the secrets, pass words, or signs belonging to Ri,bonmen, without proving him to be a brother." The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to transportation for seven years. Within one mile of Longhrea, the house of a farmer, of the name of Shaughnessy, was set ox fire by some malicious wretches, and nearly thirty sheep burned to death. In the same neighbourhood, a party of wretches entered on the lands of William Pigott, Esq. and broke a number of-forest trees, his properly. On the evening of the 18th inst. the house of the Post mas:er of Xilmacthomas, and the Past•ofice, were in the most wanton manner attacked by an infuriated mob, consisting of two or three hundred people, between the hours of four and five o'clock in the evening. They demolished the office window with stones, and every other window in the house. The Marquis of Waterford, the Governor of the county, has called a Meeting of Magistrates, to inquire into the pat ticulars of this mob; and the Mate fond Chronicle calls this proceeding, on the part of his Lordship, carrying things with a high hand! The entrance to St. James's Park, by Pimlico Gate, continues impassable for carriages and horses, owing to the works going on fur turning the sewer. Wednesday a public meeting took place in the Manor Court Room, Manchester, for the purpose of considering 1 ‘ the propriety of petitioning Parliament on the subject of Negro Slavery, [and in support of the measures of hia MAJZSTY'S Government for `meliorating the condition of the slave population of the Colonies." OSWALD Mostar, But. took the Chair. Resolutions declaratory of the sentiments of the meeting on the question of slavery abolition were passed unanimously. BALLOON Hoax..—Stepney-green, which has long been the resort of the holiday folks, was on Monday thronged to excess, in consequence of an announcement having been seat forth during the week, that a new aeronaut, Mr. W. Penny, would ascend with his balloon, the Royal George, from the grounds in the rear of the Ben Jonson Tavern, contiguous to the Green. At a little before one o'clock several thousands of persons had collected, and curiosity was on the tiptoe of expectation; but to their great surprise and dismay, a placard was exhibited, importing that Mr. Penny's balloon ascent was uiravoidably postponed. FATAL Puomista.—Young Flowers, son of the Glou cestershire smith, who defeated the late Moss, the Bath tinman, killed a man in combat, on Saturday, at Barton Wells, on the borders of Worcestershire and Gloucester. shire. It was a match for 25 sovereigns aside, and the fight was a most sanguinary one of 50 minutes'duration. Suffield, the deceased, also a blacksmith from Warmin ster, Wilts, had most decidedly the best of the first ten rounds, when a very equal sanguinary fight took place. The battle was won by Flowers placing aright-handed lunging blow on the temple of his adversary. Suffield fell, and lived two hours - only. The sailors belonging to Dundee, in the London trade, have again,struck for an advance of wages. The crews of the Olive and Lord Kinnaird deserted them, last week, and these vessels were thereby detained from pro ceeding on their voyages. The shipping companies dispat=hed expresses toPerth, Arbroath, and other towns, where seamen. were easily procured, at the wages refused by the Dundee seamen. We have been informed, that . on Saturday night a deputation from the" Union As sociation" waited on the men thus got from other towns; and offered to pay them a month's wages, with their expenses back to their own homes, if they would break the engagements made with the Shipping Companies. The offer was rejected, and, on Sunday morning, while the Lord Kinnaird was hauling out, the crew were assailed with the most abusive language by a party of Union-men stationed at the dock gates, apparently for the purpose of doing so—Edinburgh Courant. A most destructive fire broke out at the farm of Mr. at Stanstead Rye, on Friday last, between three and four o'clock' in the afternoon, in consequence* of some embers blowing to Th e side of a barn, then being done over with gas tar, which took fire, and ran up to the thatch with such rapidity that in a few minutes the whole of the buildings were in flames, and in about two hours reduced to ashes. The first country bank is said tohave been established at Gloucester in 1714, by Mr. James Wood, whose son, an eccentric individual of great age and immense wealth, still carries on the same.

Among the watch-house prisoners brought before Mr. Cavan. yesterday morning, was a wretched little Italian boy, named Una 'ripe Antonio. A watchman had found him in the dead of the night fast asleep on the floor of a water-closet in,sonte unoccupied premises in Buryatreet ; and as he could give no account of him self, he took him to the watch-house. " At first I thought it was a boodle of rigs, or a dead subject," said the watchman ; " but I soon found it was a use Mat; for I no sooner gave hint a bit of a poke with my staff, than he set up such a sharp squeaking seise as made my blood curdle in my veins." The poor lad—with hi, head in a dreadfully disc, ased condition. and no clothing but a few miserable rags, looped and tied together with bits of packthread. stood at the bar with tears streaming down his cheeks ; but from his little knowledge of English, ausl his incessant wailing, nothing could be obtained front hint, erupt that his name was Gulsenpe Antonio; that he had run away from Ms master, an Italian, lodging in Browslow-street, Drury-raise ; that he would nevergo to hint again, because he beat him'se much, end gave him nothing to eat ; and that he would go hack to his own country—only he had no money, and " the skip would set take him." Some of the °Seers stated that he was one of those wretched lads who are sent about the streets exhibiting tortoises and other small animals; and that it is the practice of their masters to heat them and turn them out to shift for themselves, if they 410 not bring home a stipulated sum every night. The Magistrate vey humanely sent the pour little wanderer to St. James's work-house, with a request that he might receive im mediate relief, and his ease be inquired into. Pot.vomtr.—There is a man named J. Margate, or ilerchass, ii custody at this Office, charged with having three Rives. He is a tavetn-waiter ' "by profession," as he s.tid; and it appea-ed by the evidence that he began his riiatrinsonial career in the year 18io, by marrying one Charlotte Norgrove, at &. Mary, Oxford.

But the evidence necessary to bring home to him these repeated misdoing.
