THE MURDERS NEAR LEATHERHEAD. HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, Nov. 7. Doctors CRA MAW, NWHOLLII, and Caam, tOlk the oaths, and were admitted as Advocates in the Court of Arches. segue Pill A TILL The KING'S ADVOCATE moved the Court for head- mini, upon the capture of two piratical vessels at the island of Ipsara, under the following circumstances: ' In April last, Captain Johnson, of the Alacrity, was , ordered to pursue some of the Greek pirates in the, Mediterranean, and in order the better to effect his ob-1 kct, disguised his vessel as a merchantman. Two Greek , vessels observing him, immediately gave chase, qua they got close enough to discover their mistake; upon which they end ovonred to effect their escape, and reaching the island of Ipsara, they effected is landing. From the housos on the coast they kept up a fire at the Alacrity, till the landing of a force from the vessel, when the pirates made their escape to the hills, with the exception of three, who were captured, and from whose evidence it appeared, that each of these vessels contained a crew of 35 men.—Motion granted. The KING'S ADVOCATE moved the Court to decree head-money in the case of a number of armed vessels, which were taken during the last war, with cargoes on board. The Admiralty Board had drawn a distinction be tween armed vessels, and vessels armed containing car goes. An appeal was made to the Lords of the Ad miralty, by whom the decision was reversed, and an order made that no distinction should be made upon the :airtime of vessels armed and containing cargoes, and those which contained no cargoes. While the appeal was pending before the Lords, several cases came before the Court, which were of course reserved, and the mo tion now was, that in all these cases the Court should decree head-money in conformity with the decision of the Lords.—Motion granted. TIM BUSIES& In this matter, the COURT, on the last day of the last Term, 4itected that so'much of the cargo of the Jubilee sh 'old be sold, under warrant from the Commissioners of the Customs, as would defray the salvage allotment and expenses. Dr. PIIILLIMOIIe now stated that, it being now understood that the Commissioners of the Customs demurred to the Court's decree, he would, on an ensuing Court day, move his Lordship on the sub.l jvct.—Leave given. VIZ KAMM AND SANTAMAGINS. This was a suit for wages, by a seaman named James Morrison, against the owners of the vessel, for the sum of 181.18 s. by virtue of a verbal agreement, for a voyage from Quebec to London. After some argument, the Court directed that the case should stand over till the last Session of the present term s in order that flu tber evidence might, if possible, be obtained; particularly the personal answers of the owners. raa INDUSTIM.--111ALVAGIL This was an appeal from the award of the Magis trates of Great Grimsby, in a case of salvage. The vessel and cargo, it was alleged, were worth 1201. and the Justices awarded the sum of 401. to the salvors. By the Statute l and 2 Geo. IV. c. 7.5. the party desirous of appealing from such award is bound to give notice of appeal within ten days from the date of the award, of the interning' to apply to the H;gh Court of Admiralty. The Justices met on the 24th and 27th of October, and determined the amount of their award on the latter day. They did not, however, it was alleged, reduce their award to writing, nor subscribed it, till the 28th. The appellant (the owner of the vessel) gave notice of his iwention to appeal, on the 7th of November, the preceding day being Sunday. Dr. LUSDINGTON, who, with Dr. DODSON* appeared for the tespondent, contended that the other party, by their own shewing, was out of Court, and incapacitated from appealing from the award. It had been distinctly laid down by Lord Mansfield, and decided in various cases, that wherein the law fixed a period, dated from an act done, the day on - which the act took place was included ; so that whether the award was mide on the 27th or on the 28th of October, the appellant was too late. The Law Judges had also decided that a notice served on a Monday was not valid in cases where the limited period expired on a Sunday. The other party, it was proved, was fully aware that the award was made on the 27th of October. Dr. JENNER, for the appellant, argued, that by the testimony c,f the witnesses on the other side, the award • was only made Ad determined on the 27th, not written and subscribed, which was necessary to make it valid and effectual, since the statute quoted, required that a copy of the award should accompany the appeal-. From the words of the Act, especially the Bth sects n, which gave. thirty days for the appeal itself, he Vas pre pared to contend that it was the intent of the legisla ture that the party. might appeal without notice. The owner in this case conceived that there was no ground for giving salvage at all. Imrd Srowera. observed, that he knew nothing of the facts of the case. • It appeared to the Court that there had been irregularities on both sides. It was his pre sent opinion that the award was not signed on the 27th of Octo 3 )er; but he should reserve the case for further consideration, and give his judgment on a future day. WA IC ,LI , AOI. This was a case of salvage. The vessel was bound foom the not th to London with a cargo of coals. Whilst at anchor, on the Scl of November, she was ran foul of l by a large ship, and driven upon the Knock-sand. The salvors, at the tisk of their lives, put off, and•brought her safely to anchor. The cargo and freight were worth 1,060/. and 100 t. was tendered as a reward by the owners, which was refused. The services of the salvors were attested by Sir Robert Seppings, Mr. Sergeant Arabin, and other respectable witnesses of them. 'Lord STOW zu. observed that it enhanced coosidetably the services of salvors when there was a risk of Life. He should pronounce for 2004 MAGISTERIAL APPOINTMENTS. — G: Marriott, Esq. who heretofore usually officiated as Deputy Chairman at the Westminster and Middlesex Sessions, in the ab. sence of Francis Cons; Esq. has been appointed one of the Magistrates of Queen'square, and took his seat on the Bench yesterday morning, in the roam of Edward Mal kland, E q. who has retired from public duty, in consequence of continued indisposition. The number of applications made to the Committee for supetintergd;ng the preparations now going forward at Guildlia 1, for the annual Civic Feast, by persons cu- rious to view cheat, ate beyond all precedent. vEttpoot., Nov. 6.—This morning, about 7 o'clock, the stables of William Myers, Esq. of Everton, were discovered to be on fire, of which the roof. and some o t her parts, were consumed before it was got under. About noon the flue bell was again at work ; and, on . jOgott y, it was found to be a d we lli ng• h ouse in Dom's lane, but nut much damage was done. We have already stated that Mary Ayres had been seen at Weybridge, where the spoke frftely of the mur der. She was taken into custody by a constable of that place, and brought immediately to Fetcham, where an ex amination took place at a late hour on Saturday night. Mary Ayres is rather a well-looking woman, above the middle stature, with an "expression of countenance ap proaching that cf the Gipsy tribe. She was dressed in a brown cloak, and wore a cottage-shaped black beaver bonnet, with boots laced up in fro*. Mr. BULL A ND.—You are the grandedaughter of John Akehurst, who was murdered lately in his cottage at Fetcham ?—Yes, Sir, I am, said she. Mr. BOLL A NM—Where were,you on the 11th of, October, the day on which Leatherhead Fair began ? Mary Ayres said, on the 11th of October, I was at Wey hill Fair, in Hampshire, along with Will Page. How long ago is it since you saw your parents at o:shot I—The last time I saw them was in latter end of September. Who was with you at the time?—Will Page was along with nse. Where did you go from thence?—We went from thence to Cathetine•hiil Fair, which was held on the 2d of October. After the fair was over we went to Basing stoke, from thence across to Peters&ld Fair; after that we proceeded to Winchester, and as it was drawing near the time for Weybill Fair, we then began our journey in that direction, and arrived at Andover the day pre vious to Weyhill Fair, which we entered on the 11th of October. Mr. BOLLAND.—Can you bring forward any persons to prove they had seen you at the fair you speak of?— Yes, Sir, there is a man named Bignold, who travelled with Will Page and myself ; he is in the neighbourhood of Fetcham now, and will prove what I have stated to be correct. Mr. BOLLAND asked her the name of the place where she first heard the report of the murder ?--She replied that it was at a village not many miles from Weybridge. On hearing it they hastened forward to that place ; and on their arrival she entered a tobacconist's shop, and told the shopkeeper that her name was Mary Ayres, and of the suspicion that was attached to herself and Will Page, as being the perpetrators of the murders. Mr. HANKEY.—Where did you leave Page? How is it that he did not come forward with you ?—Mary Apes replied that Page was now in his tent at Wey bridge; that he directed her to go on to Ozshot, and promised to meet her on the following day at that place; adding, that he should carry their tent and the whole of their baggage, and be with her in the after-' noon at Oishet. _ _ _ Bignuld swore that he was in company with Mary Ayres and William Page from the commencement to the conclusion of Weyhill fair; that he afterwards tra velled with them to other fairs on their way back into Surrey, and added, that none of them heard of the mur ders of her grandfather and Elizabeth Haines until their arrival within a short distance of Weybridge. He concluded his evidence by saying that it was impossible for any one to assert with truth' that Mary Ayres bad been seen in the neighbourhood of Leatherhead during the fair at that place. Messengers were then dispatched for the purpose of bringing forward a man named Smith,who had asserted that he bad seen Mary Ayres at Leatherhead fair. This man, on being confronted with the woman, replied that he was still convinced that she was the person whom he had seen at the fair. I On uttering his firm belief uto her identity, Mary Apes expressed considerable indignation against the nun, and, with a look of anger, scowled at him ; and said he had asserted a gross falsehood, and accused him of uttering that which be knew was false, for the purpose of getting money. Mr. BOLLAND hens very closely questioned Smith on the points which he had asserted. Smith, by his answers, seems to have had .a ♦ery slight knowledge indeed of her, for he could not posi tively swear that he had ever seen her before the time he had asserted at the fair. _ _ _ The Magistrates all concurred in the opinion that Smith must have been mistaken with regard to the identity of the woman. They then directed that Maiy Ayres should be taken to the Bull public-house. Oa the day following (Sunday) a constable having been sent to take Page into custody, met that individual on the road from Weybridge, coming towards town. His account agreed with that of Mary Ayres. Mr. Boum) to Page—How long ago is It since you were at Leatherhead fair? Page said he hal not been there since last Octo ber twelve months. • Several individuals who were present at Leatherhead, fair were asked whether they had seen Page or Ayres in the fair ?—No person came forward to rove that fact except Smith, who still adhered to his for er statement respecting the identity of Mary Ayres; ut he could not take upon himself to swear that he ad ever seen Page until the present occasion. _ The Magistrates consulted together for a short time, and expressed their opinion that there was no evidence to warrant them in detain. in either of the parties. Pate and Ayres were accordingly discharged. THE LATE MURDER AT BARNET. Immediately on the murder being known, the con stable sent off a message to the Coroner respecting the event, who issued his orders for holding the Inquest on Monday, at twelve o'clock. On the above day a Jury, consisting of the most respectable inhabitants, assembled at the Black Horse, Wood-street, Barnet. After being sworn, they proceeded to the cottage where the body of the unfortunate man lay. Field, a person who resides in the next cottage to that of the deceased, on being sworn, restated the evidence which we have already given.—ln reply to several questions from the Coroner and Jury, he said, that on his first entering the rouse he saw the deceased lying on the floor on his back, the prisoner at the time was kneeling, and wiping her face with her hand, which was smeared with the bkod of the deceased. He then procured some water, and washed her face; at this time he observed nothing like a black eye, although in the course of two hours afterwards she has, a very violent one; that he had questioned her relative to the bruise on her face, when, in reply, she said that the deceased struck her in the beginning of the quarrel in the face. Mr. Morris, surgeon, deposed, that on the preceding . day a person came running to him, stating that a man had been murdered on Barnet Common, and requested his assistance immediately. On hearing of the circum stance lie instaistly.proceeded to the spot, when, on en tering the house, he discovered the deceased lying on the flour, and on feeling him he found him to be dead; he then proceeded to examine the deceased, when he dis covered that he had been stabbed in the right breast, between the clavicle and the first rib, and which had divided one of the principal arteries. This wound had caused death. There were also two incised wounds in ,the back of the head. The wounds appeared to him to have been inflicted by a sharp Foisted knife, from the nature cf the wound. The constable of Barnet deposed' to searching the place, when at one end of the room he found a knife stained with blood.—(The fatal weapon was here pro duced, which is a sharp pointed knife, similar to those used by butchers.) The CORONER having restated the evidence to the Jury, observed, that it was evident the deceased hai come by his death by the wounds which had been in flicted by the female with whom he cohabited ; but it remained with them to say, from the evidence which they had received, whether the prisoner had perpetrated the deed whilst under the influence of passion, arising from their previous quarrel, or not. 'The worthy Co roner then stated the differences between the offences of murder and manslaughter; when the Jury returned a a verdict of Wilful Murder against Susan Bartrup, who was committed on the Coroner's warrant, and the parish 'officers of Barnet were bound over to prosecute.—The rash woman, who had already been committed to gaol, we understand, still labours under a dreadful state of remorse, and states that she has no wish to live after what has occurred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. -...siw-. MANSION-HOUSE. Oates, the nun who was charged with having piqued a .C. 5 note belonging to the Leicester Bank, knowing it to be stolen, under went a final rumination. Mr. Gates, who attended as Solicitor to Messrs. Paget and Kirby, the Leicester Bankers, produced evidence to skew the manner In which the robbery was committed. The parcel, with £6,000 in notes, was put in a portmanteau, which was locked up in the hind boot as an ordinary parcel. Be fore the coach got to Leicester, the boot was broken open, and the parcel gone. Evidence was given to prove, that the £5 note pro duced was one of those stolen, and that the prisoner had uttered it. He gave three different accounts of the mode In which he be came possessed of it. The last account be gave was, that he had taken ft at Itomford Fair, and could produce a witness who saw him take it. He was remanded, to give an opportunity of bring ing the witness forward; but now no witness appeared, and the prisoner was ordered to find good bail to appear, and answer for the offence of having the note in his possession, knowing it to' be stolen. A number of young men were brought up, charged with having let off lire-works on Tower-hill. The watchmen, who get half the penalty upon conviction, were uncommonly active on this occasion, and made a large haul. There was a large crowd on Tower-hill, to witness the celebration of the occasion, which has always been commemorated there in the highest style. It was the great amuse ment of the young men to throw squibs and crackers among the crowd, where there were a number of females, who were much alarmed whets the fire-works got near t►em. An old Gentleman in powder spoke in extenuation of the young men, by asking what business had females at such a place? The Loan Maros—The women have a perfect right to see any thing amusing which is going forward, and must be protected from wanton conduct like this. I hope that we shall in time bring our streets to such a state of order, that females may go where they please, without special protection being requisite. His Lordship convicted the boys in the penalty of Ss. each. One smartly dressed young man, who was charged with having been particularly active in the amusement of throwing squibs amongst the crowd, said he was a Gentleman. The Loan Masoz—Then I fine you 10s. A common person I should only . fine Ss. Another smart young man was brought up for the same offence. The Loan Maros—Well, are you aho a Gentleman ? Defendant—Upon my honour 1 am not, my Lord. The Loan Mayoa—l fear, from your dress and your address, that you are • and that I must inflict the larger fi ne upon you. The defen dant assured his Lordship that he did him too much honour, and that he was by no means a Gentleman. His Lamar therefore inflicted the ignoble penalty upon him. Five others were brought up, and they each, so cheap was gen tility in their estimation, denied all claim to it, to save themselves a few shillings. GUILDHALL. X.Cluminins was charged with assaulting Mr. Mosby, the Com. mon Councilman for the precinct of St. Martin, Ludgate. By the will of John Locke, the Churchwardens bf St. Martin's, in con junction with three Common Councilmen, are entitled to have two boys constantly on the foundation of Christ's Hospital. Notice of a vacancy was published in the Church on Sunday week, and on Monday the election took place. The defendant was one of the unsuccessful applicants, and in the evening he went to Mr. Dunsby's shop on Ludgate-hill, behaved with extreme violence, called Mr. D. a perjured villain, threatened to knock his brains out, and finally struck him in the face. Mr. Green, the silversmith, and Mr. Wilkinson ' the gunsmith, in Ludgate street , were the Churchwar dens, and Messrs. Dunsby, Harmer, and Ramshaw, the Common Councilmen, upon whom the selection of the most de serving object devolved. Ibe defendant was very furious before the Aldermen, and complained of the partiality of the Trustees, in selecting a child whose parents hired a room in the parish only a week before, on ' purpose to qualify, while he, an old parishioner, bad been rejected %st •ca use he did not keep a house. Mr. Dunsby declared his belief, t at if John Locke could rise from the dead, he would approve their choke, and denied that any partiality was shewn. Defendant was held to bail, himself in 1001. and two sureties in 501. each. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. -'Yesterday, George Hall, a young man in the service, as a groom, Of Captain Astley, B. N. was brought before Mr. Comore, the sitting Magistrate, charged with stealing a valuable silver chrono- meter, the property of his master.—it appeared that the prisoner removed the chronometer from a wooden case, in which Captain Astley always carried it at sea, so as to keep it in a steady and un disturbed position, and took it to the shop of a Mr. West, a pawn. broker, in High.street, St. Giles's, to pledge; but so little acquainted was he with the value of the article he had stolen, that mistaking it for a common silver watch, he asked of Mr. West only an advance of 11. on it, which was of course readily given to him. Mr. West said, that when the prisoner brought the chronometer to the shop, and offered to pledge it as a common silver watch, he was questioned u to how he became possessed of it? and his reply was, that he had purchased it of another servant. Mr. Commix said, that it was by no means excusable in Mr. West to take a valuable piece of property of this kind in pledge from a person in the prisoner's situation of life, particularly when it was clear that the nun did not even know what it was, and mistook it for a common watch, so that It was almost a certainty that he came dishonestly by it. Captain Astley said, that this chronometer was made for himby Earnshaw, the famous chronometer maker, who obtained a pre mium of SAM. from the Board of Longitude for the per fection to which he had brought his workmanship. This chronometer. Capt. Astley said, he had taken with him on several distant voyages, and the most it ever varied during the longest period that he was absent from England, was two seconds only. The lowest sum at which he could estimate its value would be 50 guineas ; but, in fact, a chronometer, ►o well and often tried and proved at sea as this bad been, was almost invaluable. The prisoner had nothing to say in his defence, and was fully committed for trial. MARY-LA-BONNE, Two youths nkmed William Harding and William Waiters, were brought from the House of Correction, charged with robbery. It appeared from the evidence of James Pirchmore, who turned King's evidence against the prisoners, that about three weeks ago he was met by the prisoner Harding, who informed him that he. Withers, and another boy, named Ives, bad agreed to go to Pons mouth for the purpose of entering a ship of war, and U be (witness) was willing to go along with them, they would have no objection. Witness, who had previously an intention of going to sea, consented, and started off with the prisoners. They were compelled to beg their way along the road as far as Portsmouth. On their arrival at Guildford, the prisoner Harding requested witness, and the other boys who were with him, to proceed before him through the town, as he was about to" look out for squalls." They did so, and the prisoner entered a watchmaker's shop, and stole a silver watch, which he afterwards presented to the view of his party. On their wiy to Portsmouth Harding committed several daring robberies, and then altered his intention, would not go to sea, and expressed his determination to " make three or four other watches, and return to London, when he would whack the money between them." On their arrival in London, Harding sold the watch, and refused to shire the produce with witness, which made hint give information against hint to iiuckridge the officer. Buckridge, having been dis. patched to Guildford, ascertained that the watch was stolen from MARRIED. On Tuesday, the 7th instant, the Rev. Robert, Downs, A. Vicar of Leamington, Warwickshire, to Philadelphia, youngest daughter gibe late J.T.U.Hupper, Es q. of Wetton Castle, Durham. 'a Mr. Forster, at Guildford, who being unable 10 attend t. Elva evidence, the prisoners were remanded (t* a week. QU F:EN—SQUA RP. Yesterday, Samuel _Burrows, urns ivought ttp in custody et Cooper and Pople, the officers, charged with being concerned is divert robberies committed in the capunty of Surrey, paricularly at Merton, Streatham, and Wimbledon. _ . The prisoner appeared at the bar with the 'greatest effrontery, and to a question from the Magistrate (Mr. Gamoarc). said he hart no dwelling but In Kent, which he left three. weeks since, and by trade was a whitesmitb. On Cooper, the officer, stating the circumstances againit the pri soner, and the resistance lie made to escape, the prisoner au daciou dy l excaimed " What do you know about s uer . . Cooper said the prisoner was concerned in a burglary committed at the King's Head, at Merton in Surrey. The prisoner was also one of the same party shot at along with a man named Arof).!head, who now stands fully committed, at the ensuing Surrey As.ire4, for a burgllry at Mr. Sutton's at Merton. The prisoner had before been committed at a former Assize in the name of Jackson, ana was sentenced, with Woodhead, to le months' imprisonment tot' a felony. Te prisoner declined saying anything at present ; lie was Came , : quently remanded for further examination; and two officers, Codpei and Popk, were dispatched to Merton to bring evhlence'againai the prisoner, who. it seems, has been concerned in numerous rub; beries committed in that vicinity. LAM BETH-STREET. Yesterday Mr. Barber, proprietor of several stages plying to and from Black wail, appeared to po less than seven different inforraa done, lodged against him by Byers. Previous to being entered on, Mr. HARDWICK said, that since the former day a communication had been received from Mr. Sykes, of the Stamp Office, with which was transmitted the opinions of th 4 Law Officers of the Crown, that the clause of the old Act, under which the proceedings were instituted, was as yet unrerealed by ail subsequent enactment. It appeared that the Act bad in part been complied with, thougli not in its precise form, the name, kc. being on the top instead of this aide pannels. Mr. HARDWICK theti read the worthy Mr. Byers a lecture on the precious office of a public informer from Lord Coke's opinion of such vermin in his days; but as the Act was imperative, he wat under the disagreeable necessity of infotcing the fine in two eases, but mitigated it to the lowest penalty of a. each, when the leader 'me►cies of the weedy informer were excited. and he gave up the other charges, and on the same terms, against Mr. Lambert, another coach proprietor. Several proprietors of coffee-shops were convicte.l at Mary-la-bonne Police office, on Monday, on the infor mation of Johnson, for keeping irregular hours. The sudden change of the weather in the Metropolis has been very remarkable. During the whole of Mon day heavy rain fell; but a frost succeeded it during the night, which has been so intense, that the confectioners were actually filling their ice-houses yesterday. A dog, the property of Mr. G. C. Chambre, George's quay, Cork, died last week, at the very advanced age of twenty-six years. He was of the Russian terrier breed. Duman, Noy. 3.—lt appeared, at the adjourned meet ing of the St. Patrick Assurance Company, that the Di rectors cannot be reduced from 21 to 13, without ob taining a new deed. Four Directors are to be elected, in place of a like number resigned. One of those desperate gangs of smugglers that infest the Kent and Sussex coast, tumultuously assembled near the tide mills at Bishopstone, a few miles from 'Lewes, on Friday night, where they obstructed the quarter. master of the Coast Blockade, struck him a violent blow on the bead, and otherwise grossly assaulted him, by which he had one of the fingers of his right hand broken. At Union-hall, yesterday, Thomas Taylor, the 'driver of a Clapham stage, and William Stevens, coachman of one of the Camberwell coaches, were fined 101. each, for furiously driving in High -street, Borough, on Sun day night, the 29th ult. It appeared that the defend ants and another man, not in custody, drove along the High-street in the most rapid manner, and it would have been impossible to have taken their numbers, if the coaches had not come in contact. The defendants gave notice of appeal. Sac att.EGa.—At Preston Qa atter Sessions, 'Joseph Lees, surgeon, and Robert Pilling, labourer, both of P 4. diham, were charged with having feloniously and sacri. legiously stolen out of the parish church the &wit and cassock of the Minister, the Rev. S. J. C. Adamsim, and two surplices and a bible, the property of the pari-hion• ers ; and also with having defaced the register book of baptisms, marriages, and burials. It appeared from the evidence, that Lees and Pilling were drinking at a pub lic house in Padihans on the night of the 4th of Sept. that, about two o'clock the following morning, after being seen in the churchyard with three or four men who had the church books in their hands, Leer passed through the streets with a surplice on huzzaing. In the morning the register books, prayer-book and bible were found in the churchyard, all mutilated, the leaves hay ing been torn in various directions. The velvet crimson cloth on the communion table was also mach cut, and the cupboard which contained the gowns opened. It was stated that whilst at the public house Lees damned the Minister and Vestry men—declared that he would make Heaven frown over both Parson and Church be• fore morning, and pulled out of his pocket a knife, with which he said be would do execution. NOevidence was adduced to implicate Pilling in the serious affair; but witnesses were called to prove an alibi. Lees, on being asked if he had anything to offer in his defence, re plied in the negative; but a whites.; was also examined on.his behalf to prove an alibi. The CHAIRMAN then addressed the Jury : he pointed out the law of the case, as it applied to the charges is the indictment, and dwelt at considerable length on that of the defence which related to the attempted proof of alibi, observing that it would be almost miraculous if in boil cases the circumstances by which the alibi was intended to be proved, should have occurred, as stated by the witnes ses. The law had fixed the penalty of transport.4l n for fourteen years upon persons guilty of ma tilating the registers belonging to any Church or parochial Chapel, and he doubted whether the Court had the power to mitigate the sentence. The Jury retired, and were in consultation nearly half an hour. On their return they delivered a verdict of Guilty against L es, and nut i Guilty against Palling. Sentence of transportation for fourteen years was accordingly pronounced upon Lees, and Pilling was discharged. The trial lasted five hours, during which time the Court was mach crowded.
