MI.HORNE said, this was a bill filed for an injunction to restrain the defendant from proceeding in an action of ejectment which he had commenced in the Court of Great Sessions in Wales. His Honour was aware of the summary proceedings - in that Court. The Jury sat at Nisi Prius before lunch, between lunch and dinner they sat in Banc , and before sunset execution was signed— ( Laughter). Now this case could not, in justice to his client, be decided in a Court of Law : it must come under the cagnizance of a Court of Equity. The Learned Counsel then at very great length went into the particu lars of the case, which did not possess any public interest. After hearing the So LIC ITOR-GEN ERA L in opposition, his Honour ordered the injunction to be granted. A Gentleman behind the Bar applied for an order di recting a sum of money to be paid over to his client, a young lady, who was entitled to it under a will. The executors refused to pay it, alleging that they fancied the young lady was married, and in such case the money would belong to her husband. VICE-CHANCELLOR (smiling)—What makes the ex ecutors fancy the lady married ? COUNSEL—I really do not know, your Honour, ex cept it is from the circumstance of a gentleman having for a long time paid her very great attention ; but she says she is not married, and she ought to know. VICE-CHANCELLOR—Let the young lady make an affidavit that she is not married, or ever has been, and I twill make the order for her to receive the money. , The VICE-CHANCELLOR aferwards heard several mo tions of no interest. The Court at its rising adjourns for the long vacation. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—NORWICH, Aga. IS. CONVICTION OF MR. STRATFORD, FOR MURDER. John Stratford, 41, was indicted for the wilful murder of John Burgess, by giving one ounce of arsenic mixed in flour to one Hannah Hook, to be delivered to John Briggs, with intent to kill him, but which was afterwards, by mistake, given to one John Burgess, who partook of the said flour and arsenic, whereupon he lingered and expired. Mr. ALDERMAN, the City Recorder, stated the case, and detailed the facts. It appeared that a criminal in timacy existed between the prisoner and the' wife of Briggs, for whom the poisoned flour was delivered by the prisoner for him, he being confined in the workhouse from the effects of disease. The woman who received it from the prisoner delivered it by mistake to Burgess, the deceased, who partook of it, and soon after died. Hav ing given an outline of the case, he would leave all fur ther remark and comment to the upright and intelligent Judge who presided at the serious and painful inquiry. Jane Briggs, the wife of Thomas Briggs, deposed that tier husband has been confined in the Poor-house since last May twelvemonth. On March last she was pregnant by the prisoner at the bar; she communicated the fact to him long before that time ; she was brought to , bed on the 2d of Tune last ; the prisoner told her when she made it known to him, that he was sorry, and that he hoped she would not go her time ; he said something about giving her a medicine to prevent it ; he said she• should not want any thing; she carried flour to her husband every week ; she had talked of doing so to Stratford's wife in his presence ; he is a married man ; this was re peated many times both before and after Christmas ; he wished me to keep my situation to myself if I could ; the prisoner and his wife were often at my house during our intimacy ; do not know whether he was ever there when I was sending flour to my husband. The nurse, witness added, was the wife of the person deceased. The nurse told the prisoner the state of her husband's health. She said he could take plentifully, although confined to his bed ; never, except that time, sent any flour by any per son-but her daughter ; employed the prisoner to do so ; was at the Coroner's Inquest upon Burgess in March last; saw the prisoner• the evening before that at her house ; he requested me to go to his shop, as he wanted to speak to me ; witness refused, but he pressed it ; he went away ; had seen him the day before in presence of his wife ; had seen her husband eight day's before this conversation. Conversed with her husband about herself on the Sunday week he said he heard I was in the fa mily way; but did not tell prisoner of this ; her husband's diet was generally milk boiled with flour. Cross-examined by Mr. KELLY.—Her husband and Stratford have lived near each other seven years, and never disagreed. Charles Cross, a druggist, proved potion to have been purchased by the prisoner. Rhoda Burgess, widow of the deceased, examined by Mr. PaEsiox.—Witness is nurse at the workhouse; re ceived a parcel from Susan Hook for Mr. Briggs ; she delivered it to Briggs, who inquired from whence it came ; witness could not tell ; she said it appeared to be flour by the feel ; her husband, who was working at the bed-foot, opened it, and did it up - again in her pre sence, and delivered it back to Brigg's bed ; it was never meddled with again until her unfortunate husband took it ; the day deceased died he took some of this flour unknown to her ; when she came down stairs she found the saucepan on the fire, and the deceased was kneading some dough ; witness said, " In the name of God what is the saucepan on the fire for ? I . have no thing to cook ;" had no flour in the house at the time of her own. Witness suspected that there was something in the flour. She took part down to her eon. When she returned, she took some and gave it to Mary Moss and Anne Pillar. Soon afterwards witness felt very sick. Her husband feeling very faint, went out to get some air; ha too complained of being sisk. He could not get back by himself ; he was put to bed. He said, " I am a dying man !" He was violently sick, but never alluded to the cause. Mr. Robinson, the medical man, was east Orr. Witness was very ill herself, and but for kind attention she should not have been here. The Learned JUDD& inquired whether the invalid Briggs could be brought into Court? The House Sur geon said that it was almoet impossible, he was such a dapictialge figure ; he could not articulate except with great difficulty ; his life was not in danger by it. The Judge ordered him to be brought in a coach or sedan im mediately. Briggs was afterwards brought in, supported by two men ; his face covered with i hirsdkercbisf ; it could not be seen. Mr. Robinson, the surgeon, acted as interpreter to the prisoner, who, among other infirmities, is very deaf. . He Mated that he remembered Mm. Burgess telling him a person had sent him some flour ; he told her to put it up till the time he wanted it. It was put up, as far as he knew, in the cupboard where the Hour was always kept. Burgess used to work in his room; he did not see him take any thing out of the cupboard on the day he died.—[Mr. Robinson explained dm; he mostly lay with his face covered, because the air ifkted him so much.] He saw Burgess on the day of his death. Said some thing to his wife about her pregnancy some weeks before Burgess died. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, said, My Lord, I am ignorant of the charge, and I declare to GOD I never went on the workhouse premises in my life. Mr. W. Perring (the e son of Alderman Perring) had known the prisoner seven years, and believed him to be a tender-hearted humane man ; the prisoner's wife told him so—(A laugh). Respectable witnesses gave the prisoner a good cha racter. The Learned Judge summed up the evidence, and left it to the jury to say whether they could have any doubt of the prisoner's guilt after the combined facts which had been detailed? Should they, however, consider the chain of evidence imperfect, it was their duty to find the pri soner not guilty. The Jury retired for several hours, and at 11 o'clock returned into Court, and returned the verdict of Guilty. The prisoner trembled, and the perspiration poured down his forehead. Mr. EDO IL L inquired of him whether he had any thing to say why he should not receive judgment to. die accord ing to law ? The Prisoner—My Lord, I'm innocent—indeed I nm innocent. SENTENCE. His Lordship, for the first time, put on the black cap, and proceeded to pass the awful sentence of death.— He observed it was most painful to hear the prisoner make The assertion he had done, when no reasonable per son who had heard the whole evidence could doubt that he was guilty ; and all must, as he did, consider the verdict a most proper one. The prisoner had gone on from one step in crime to another—from adultery to murder, until at length he was brought to the verge of an ignominious fate. The world was about to close upon him for ever, and he trusted that he would be careful to employ the few hours that remained by asking pardon of his offended God. His Lordship, with tears in his eyes, then pro nounced that the prisoner be executed on Monday (this day), and that his body be given to the surgeons, to be dealt with according to the statute. The prisoner, who is an athletic man, perspired pro fusely while sentence was passing. Several well-dressed ladies remained in Court fifteen hours ! The crowd outside, awaiting the verdict of the Jury, was immense. HOME CIRCUIT.—MAIDSTONE, Amour 14. Before Mr. Justice Garnu. - - MALICIOUSLY SHOOTING.—John !Cable was in dicted for wilfully and maliciously shooting at William Reeves, at Chalk. The prosecutor, who is a labourer, deposed that on the 18th of July the prisoner took him to a Mr. Reader, for having stolen some of his cherries. Mr. Reader, how , ever, forgave him, but he afterwards met Dibble, when he ran off to avoid him, and the latter fired at him, and he received several shots in his back. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty—Death. IRISH 'ESTIMA TES.

A lady. formerly a servant maid, else wife of an infirm member of the Corporation of ',Oudot, appeared before the LORD MAYOR, attended by ber solicitor, Mr. Mohler, ;no. for the purpose of re questing his Lordship's assistance to preventanafilicdog separation between ber husband and herslf. The family of her husband, who is 75 years of age, and requirrl the aid and affection of a wife, had thought proper to interfere between them. The LORD MayOß—What is their object in Interfering? Mr. Mohler, jun.—ln the 'pretended apprehension, my Lord, that he is of weak mind, and that he is now tired of his bargain; but the fact 1., that they dread another family from the union.— (Laughter). Whatever might be • the motive, if the lady con ducted herself well, it was extrentely Improper to attempt to excite differences. The lady said shi bid been a nurse to the old gentle man for some years, and her attentions bad completely won his heart. She begged to know whither there could be a stronger claim to a man's affection.? He was himself aware of her claim, and loved her tenderly, although Ms sons wished to make people believe otherwise. The Loan MAYOR asked whether there was a probability of as increase of family ?—(Lalighter). Mr.nobler, jun.—The old gentleman's relations are uncharitable enough to insinuate to that Nett, but I have seen the old gentleman, and / believe it to be impossible: The Loto Marna thought it far more advisable for the con owns par t i e s to tome to an understanding in private, than to expose the matter before the pubNe ;:cases of this kind being very fair game for newspapers. The Lady Wiped the newspapers would rake the pan of a fe male in this cue and prevent bar from being divorced from a man who was ex ceedingly dear to her. The fact was, Masons se.:re anxious for a Commission of Lunacy, in order to get • pot. session of his property ; but the only proof •of madness he had ever shown, was that of marrying ber—(Laughter). She should, she said, endeavour to make terms with his relations, but she should never consent to abandon her husband. After the Lady bad departed, one of the old Gentleman's sons appeared, in order to request his Lordship's essieraoce in behalf of his father, who; he said, was almost frightened out of his life by the female who had just departed. The Loan blavon—Why, she has just complained of you, and only wants to have her husband all to herself. • The son declared that his nsotherain-law was now playing " high life above stairs" with a vengeance. She had come tutu ye family in the capacity of chambermaid, and one cold night she pretended that she mislaid the warming-pan, and she juniper' into bed to the old gentleman herself, for teat he alsoold (atilt cold. She then swore that if he would not marry her, she would both ,eipose and king him for a rape—(Loud laughter). The Loan Maroa.—And was no one in the house to save the poor young woman Tram destruction ? The Son.—She took tare to time the thing well, and took share of his bed when nobody else was In the bottle. • The LARD MATOII.—It is impossible to interfere in a case of this hind. A Magistrate has nothing to do with such (foam's ; you • ought to refer the Stetter to mental Mends, gild 'bun publicity. And yet, atter all, I do not know but the very fear of theesposure ol family disputes tends more than say thing to reconcile•rnen and women to the frequent annoyances to which they are subject, and the frequency at length renders them no longer annoyances.
