ASSIZES. YORK, JULY 21. William Mead and Robert Belt were indicted for, the wilful murder of James Law, on the night of the 13th, or morning of the 1 ith of February, at Bur meston, near Scarborough, in this county. The pri soners pleaded Not Guilty. They were men of re spectable appearance. It will be recollected, that an application was made last Spring to have the venue removed lions . the county of York, in this trial, on the ground o f the s iolent ferment which prevailed among large parties of the people of the neighhourhood, who avowed an interest in the result, which, if participated in by Ju rors, was incompatible s ith the impartial adminis tration of justice. The circumstances which led to this agitation were principally thee:—The prisoner Mead had been actively engaged in assisting the Officers of the Revenue in detecting smuggling trans actions, and had been engaged some time ago in prosecuting a number of cases in the Eirelmuer ; .•an one of these, the deceased Law was theielendant, but was acquitted, and he subsequently prosecuted to conviction Mead, for perjury upon that trial.— Mead, after his conviction, obtained a rule for a new trial, and was enlarged on bail. There had been a great riot in Scarborough, on the day before Law was shot, and he was said to have been, with others, actively engaged in tarring and feathering some persons who were alleged to be much on the alert in suppressing smuggling transactions. This trial was fixed specially for this day, and seventy witnesses were said to be in attendance.. A considerable num ber of persons came from Scarborough andahe vici nity to give evidence for one or the other of the par ties ; there was a complete congregation of farmers i and seafaring people of every description from the Scarborough coast. As it was understood that at least two days, if not three, would be occupied with the trial, beds were provided in an adjoining part of the Court hout-e for the Jurors. A full panel was called, and several were challenged at both sides. Mr. Jorms then described the outline of the evi dence which lie had to offer in support of the prose cution, and the particulars of which, as given by the witnesses, were as follows: The first witness, John Watson, examined by Mr. VERNON.—He lived near Scarborough, and Thurs day was the 'market-day at that place. He saw the deceased James Law there on the 13th of February last. He had previously met him there in good health at the Talbot Inn, where his horse was kept. Wit ness and he left Scarborough on that night in com pany together. There were some others in company with them, and some of them were fresh in liquor. Law had taken his share, but was not drunk. Wit ness was sober. The place called Burmeston lay di rect between them and Law's house. When they got to Burmeston, Law and another turned their horses and said they would not go by William Mead's house yet : that house was then within 100 yards of them. It was agreed to go to Adam Calvert's to take a tankard of ale before they went 'home, but the people of the house would not get up to let them in. There was no one in the street at the time. They stopped before Mead's house and began to dn a : none of them offered to molest the house: the house was separated from the road by a sort of causeway, nearly two feet high, and a lard broad. Neither the witness nor any of his party were on that causeway, nor did they alight from their horses. Witness did not think any of the parties had sticks in their hands ; they used no angry expressions, but sang the words of the song ; it was a song concern ing Mead's perjury. Witness saw a small gun or pistol fired from Mead's house, five or six minutes after they had begun the song; he looked up at the window, because he heard glass fall on the causeway before t he shot was fired ; nothing was said from the house ; they rode away after this took place, because they found Law was shot, and they wanted to assist him; they went into John Dodsworth's house, which was nearer than Law's ; when there, Law said that William Mead had shot him, and he appeared very anxious to make his will. When that shot was fired, he could swear that Law's horse was turned towards the middle of the road ; it was a thickish dark night. The moment it was light on the same morning, vile ness went to Mead's house and saw the glass lying bn the causeway; the look of the window over where this glass was, was this—the leadappeared bent out, and the glass gone. He had gone to London before that as a witness on Exchequer proceedings. In his cross-examination by Mr. WILLIAMS, he said that Law's horse's head was at the titne .. the shot was fired turned in a contrary direction from the house, and witness was not more than five or six yards from Law. He could at the time distinguish each of his companions: he knew one Robinson, a publican in the village : witness would not say they stopped there, but they certainly made no noise or disturbance. Robinson's was about 100 yards from Adam Calvert's. They had passed both, and got close to Mead's, when they were on the turn again. When Law said they must have more ale before they passed Mead's house, they were not afraid of Mead. What they wanted at Calvert's was in consequence of Dodsworth, who said be wanted to sell him some bacon. Did not see it '~•as comical to turn back at two o'clock in the morn. ing either to sell some bacon, or have some more, drink. Would not say yes or no if Law had.a stick in his hand with a hook upon it. The witness said he had been twice in London during Mead's trial, but was not examined, except a single question about one Thomas Brown, and then he was acquitted" from the witness box. Witness did not know, when in . London, one John Dodson, but on the 13th of , February he saw a man who was called by that name. in the street. He never saw that Man ducked in 'a well, or rolled in a kennel. Mr. JONES took an objection to this mode of ex amination, which applied to circumstances quite dis tinct from the scope of the present trial. • Mr. WILLIAMS replied, that he wanted to chew the bad treatment of Dodson, which was on the.sama day mentioned to Mead, who was in. consequence, naturally under apprehensions for himself-from-the same people. The cross-examination of the witness was renewed. Are you not brought here out of jail to give evi dence ?—Yes. What is the charge against you ?.—/ -dare say it is for an asseauk. Dare say, man! is it not for an assault on that . . very Dodson of whom you pretend to have heard nothing ?Dare say it is. I believe lam in jail for the charge. ' He further said that he was charged, likewise, with ,having committed an assault upon one Dawson on the 15th, as well' as on Dodson. It was two o'clock when Law was at Scarborough on the 13th : the last time be saw Dodson was at half-past two o'clock on that day, but did not see him damaged. There was no great crowd at the time, nor any ladders.. Law did kick Dodson down, but did not know valsk•Ls , s• said at the time, nor did he tell anybody Oat Law called out, " Kill him now, he is an infamous rascal." 'Witness admitted his having been in jail before on a charge of smuggling. Mead was, he had heard, the informer against him and Law for the same charge, but he knew nothing about it. Ile-examined—% itness was acquitted on thecharge: • it was a bench warrant by the Magistrate that coin -milted him for the assault. John Dodsworth said he was a farmer at Harrow dale. He went to Scat borough market on the 13th of February. He •joined Law and the others; and returning late at night, they turned round to get ale at Adam Calvert's, and stood near Mead's house. .Somebody sung a song, and shortly after a shot was fired out, which hit Law : he said, " I am shot." Law died on Friday, the 21st of February. Elizabeth Jens • n, wife of Mt. Jennison, was under the same r with the prisoner Mead, at Bur meston, on the 1 . 11 of February. His chamber was divided from her's by a slight wooden partition. Wit ness's mother slept with her on that night.. About , two o'clock she was awoke by a sounding of horses' feet on the high road: they did not, she believed, ,come upon the causeway. The men on the horses began singing opposite the•house. She. could not distinguish voices 'or words at• the time; they made no attack upon the outside of the house ; but she heard a voice within call out "Shout him, shout him," (the woman pronounced the words in the provincial dialect); - she meant "to shoot—to kill." She heard the lead frame of the glass fall immediately, when she heard the noise of the shot ; she heard a voice from Mead's room say, " Dodsworth is very drunk:" she knows Mead's voice; but can't say who said to shoot, though he was the person who said Dodsworth was drunk. Sbe afterwards' heard Mead say that he would not have done anything, if they had not bro ken his windows. On the morning after, the lead of Mead's casement window hung outwards, and the glass was on the causeway. , Several witnesses merely spoke to the fact of seeing the window broken, in the manner desc ribed , early on • , the following morning. John Stockdall; one of the constables of Scarbo- rough, was sent for at one in the mornineof the 14th of February, and went to Bin-Melton. • *Witness de• manded admission several dines at Mead's house, but.' no answer was given. The door was ;subsequently broken open. Mead was -getting . otit'ofi bed When' they ran up stairs; he' pretended to haver heard sm• thing until his door war broken in; and •asked, witk apparent surprise what was the matter?' He was told that a man had on the preceiling night been shot at ,from his chamber. He inquired-What trian-?-Witnesa said James Law. They handcuffed hini.,itild found powder and ball in a flask in a box inii room ;-they asked him for the pistol that shot James Law; he said; if they loosened his hands, he would Had it for them ; they did so, and he took a key out' of a small box, and produced the two pistols which witness now held in his hand; they were deeply loaded - with Pow der and shot. Witne)is then produced the clothes worn by Law whoa _he was shot ; they were stained with blbod. Cross-examined. Witness had taken Mead's wife and daughter into custody. Margaret Consitte Merely - proved hearing the noise and singing outside -Mead's deor in the men. 8h heard no disturbance before' the gun was B'r'ed. Dr. W. Harland, it physician at. Scarborough,,m% tended Law about three o'clock *of the inorning'of the 14th of February, at Dochworth's house. 1* hid a wound in his back from it pistol ball, Which entered immediately over the blade-bone. fie for a surgeon, thinking the wound , dangerous; falige died on - the Friday following. Atter ifeath the 64 was found in the upper part of the thorax, clot!. to the spine. • • • . . Mr. John Edmondson was a farmer at Cayton.

At half-past six o'clock the case foi the prostitution being closed, the prisoners were called tip= for their defence.—Mead said he had no itt witty) Law, or to anybody in the world.

Mr. Thomas Lemon is an officer in the Prevent' Service. He proved it was extremely dark about t' o'clock in the morning of Friday the 14th. William Pickering is a farmer, and lives at Bur , meston, about thirty yards from Robinson's publi house ; he heard a great racket about two o'clock Ft iday morning; there were three horses ; witm only saw three men, but would not swear that the! might not have been four; they staid about twenr minutes, and then went assay towards Meads how witness heard nothing of what passed there. No witnesses were called to the character of t' prisoner Mead. • Mr. Justice HOLIWYD began to charge the Jury half-past one o'clock. His Lordship, after statii the great importance of the case, both to the prisoner and the public, addressed them on the .duty of palling from their minds every previous impressio, which they might have imbibed on this subject, and forming their judgments entirely. from the evident' Mr. Justice Hohoyd then stated the law as app) cable to the case. If the pistol had been discharge without any further provocation, or other cause th the mere singing of a libellous song, this irritati would not excuse or extenuate the offence so as to duce it to manslaughter. If the conduct of party was such as to excite. apprehensions that sot violence might be intended to be offered, this mi: either altogether justify the firing of the pistol, or duce the offence to the mitigated crime of ni; slaughter, according to the circumstances. But if, review of the whole evidence, a doubt should remi, in the mind ofthe Jury as to the sufficiency of the proo) ortheextent of thecrime, it would qe their duty to %mine the most favourably for the prisoners. 1 4orsriship intimated that he thought the evidence against Belt too slight to render it safe for the J, to act upon it; at d again reminded the Jury, that the case should appear at all doubtful, it was the duty to incline to the most favourable construction it. The charge occupied four hours in the deliver The Jury retir ed for about twenty minutes; and t their, return. int o .Court found William Mead Guilt; Mansltinghte, and !Moms Belt Not Guilty.
