Juryman—l mtrely offer it as myindividual opinion ; and I atillhope your lordship will alter the sentence. The COMMON SEIIGEANT.CeDainIy OM: the Court cannot listen to your application. Juryman.—On consulting my brother jurymen, I find that several of them. are of the same opinion as myself., The COMMON Seastessyr.—The duty assigned to the Court and that to the Jury is different and distinct. It is the province of the Jot) , to ascertain the fact whether the prisoner is guilty or not of the offence imputed to him ; and ft afterwards remains with the Court to pass upon the prisoner. if convicted, the sentence of the law. The Court at all times will listen with patient and anxious atm. t.con to any recommendation from the Jury at large ; but they cannot listen to the representation' of a single Juryman. In the present instance the Court had thought it necessary to make an exam ple of the prisoner. in consequence of the frequency of the offence of which he had been convicted within the last fe* years. Advantage was constantly taken of men who imprudently got intoxicated to plunder them, and the fact of the party robbed being intoxicated in many in stant:its prevented the conviction of the offender. In . the present ease the opinion formed by the Jury would, perhaps, be altered when he told them that if the prosecutor had made any attempt to retain his money, Ana after a struggle between the patties the prisoner had sue eeded in vetting it from him, he would have been guilty of a capital ofibnce. He would give the Juryman credit for being actuated by good motives in the observations he had made; but the Court having expressed their opinion, could not allow it to be the matter of any observation after ...adv.—The Juryman sat down, and here the conversation dropped. GUILDHALL. —SMUGGLING SPIRITS INTO PRIBONIL....A femlllo, whose husliaini hat been a prisoner in Whitecrosa.street prison for q twelvemonth, was yesterday fined 101. and in default of payment sent for two months to Bridewell, for having been detected conveying into prison two bottles, containing a pint of gin each. Thomas Elliot, a compositor; was charged by the landlord of the Bar tholomew Coffee-house, Smithfield, under the following chnumetanceer The prisoner had entered the tap-room on Monday evening, and bad a single glass of something. No more notice was taken of him, as it was supposed he had left the house: On the following morning, how ever, he was found lying drunk and fast asleep inside of the bar. It was then discovered that he had broken a pane of glass in the bar, which admitted his hand to remove the fastening of the door, and thus he had a ready admittance to the scene of his excessive enjoyment. To accomplish his scheme, lie had squatted himself out of sight under a bench in the tap-room till the family bad gone to rest. One of the cranes in The bar he had left partially running when he went to slap; but the landlord reckoned, that in all he had suffered to .the extent of one and a half gallons of gin and rum. Having been kept two days in prison, the Alderman discharged him with an exhortation. FEMALE JUVENILE INCENDIARIEB.—Two little girls, the eldest ow more than twelve years of age, named Mary and Harrill Redman, were charged by George Phillips, of New-street, Cloth Fair, with having attempted to set his house on fire. It appeared in evidence, that the father, who was present in me office, and who is a carpenter, had, on account of the bad con duct of his wife, been under the necessity of separating from her about five months ago, and the two little girls were left to mind themselves and the house, he having no one else to take charge when he was out at work during the day. They had been re. peatedly found guilty of little acts of peculation from their neigh hours, which had caused some degree of bad feeling to exist towards them, and about five weeks ago they had set their own apartment ca fire, which was fortunately observed in time, and quenched. On Wednesday the complainant's room was left locked, but a pane of glass which had been broken, and was patched with paper, was found with the paper torn, and a piece of rag which had been thrown in was planing on the floor. The rag appeared to have been thrown in the di rection as if intended to fall upon a bed, which it furtunately missed, • hut tell close to it, and when discovered it had singed considerably a bat-box that stood under the bed. The only evidence :4/Ansi the two young prisoners was, that no one eke but them had been 'near the apartment. They both denied the charge. At the desire of the :prosecutor, Sir Prrsa Lanais discharged the prisoners, on the promise of their father, that he would in future look more sharply after them, and that he would not allow them to return again to their old lodgings. . . LANDETH•STAZET....WiiiiaIIe Coe, a stout-built muscular fellow, was brought before the •Magistrates of this office, charged on suspicion of being one of the men who attempted to rob the hen-house of Mr. Buxton, a farmer at Shinfield, near Brentwood, and nearly murdering Mr. Buxton and two of his servants, who had attempted to secure them. From the statements of Rickman and Bailey, constables at Brent. wood. it appeared that, on the night of Thursday week, three ro:n broke into a hen-house belonging to Mr. Buxton.

Besides; when taken into custody, he denied being in the neighbourhood of Brentwood for several weeks past, though he subsequently acloowledged that he had been there on the night In question. The prisoner denied all knowledge of, or participation in the offense alleged to his charge, and was transmitted under the are of the con. stables and a new policeman to Brentwood, in order to his undergoing an examination there before the local Magistracy, as Mr. Buxton and 1 his servants are still so excessively ill, from the of of the injuries they.seceived, that it is deemed dangerous to remove them to town, In order to their identifying the prisoner.

On Monday evening last, diabolical and mysterious murder was perpetrated en the body of Mr. Thomas Ashton, eldest son of Mr. Sa meal Athos, of Pole Bank, Werneth. near Hyde. About half-past six o'clock in the evening, Mr. Samuel Ashton, who is ik well known and ecteneles power-loom manufacturer and spinner,,left his mill, which is *must at Apethoen, and proceeded home to tea at his house at Pale Bask. which is at the distance of about half a mile. After tea, Mb Auburn sent the deceased to the mill foe some papers which he W thosetem ; and a few minutes a ft er be had left the bottle, the report at aphid was heard at some distance. About half an hour afterwards, sme et *eine employed in the mill, on leaving off yak at half-past areolsr, posseethog down the lane, stumbled over a body, and dis kto be dist ef Mr. T. Ashton. The body was perforated by a ball, se rather by a braes of. balls; which had entered beneath the right breast, and passed out behind at the left shoulder blade. Mr. Athens was in the habit of walking with his left hand in his breeches paint; and when the body was found his hand was still in that posi tion. Os examining the hirkkg place from which the horrid deed must have been committed, there appear marks, as if two persons had been seated or reclining on the side of the ditch. On the fact being communicated to Mr. Lavender, he sent over two of the officers of the Manchester police establishment, for the purpose of assisting the local authorities in investigating the circumstances of the transited= ; but up to this time no clue whatever has been obtained likely to lead to the discovery of the perpetrators. Mr. Ashton was only twenty-throe years of age, and of n tad and inoffensive character. His untimely end is deeply and universally regretted. A reward of 5001. has been offered for the apprehension of the murderers.

It appeared that on the 3d December, Mr. Preston, spindle.maker at Ardwicit, received an in timation from the journeymen spindle-mailers, that if be. did not die. charge certain individuals from his service, who were obnoxious to the union, his hands should turn out. Mr. Preston not having congthell with this demand, his hands turned out on the following da to th e number of sixty or seventy men, and Mr. Preston obtain ed 'several others in their places. On the 29th December, a person named James Smith entered his e mplo ym e nt. and on the same day, when he went home to dinner. the with twenty or thirty others, went to his house, and threat that if he continued in Mr. P.'s aervice, they would have his head oft; and kill him, ice.

RR, ON HIS TRIAL AT SALISBURY. MY LORDS—I plead guilty to the charge of which lam accused. But I humbly beg to urge the following circum stances in extenuation of my offence :—My Lords, I have long felt that the share *bleb, as a labourer, I have received of the produce of my labour, was less than in fairness it should have been, less than it was worth to those who purchased it. 1 have been so assured by many respectable and well-informed who compassionated the pitiable situation from =, 7th the utmost efforts of industry, I could not Nape. Hume been told that this is neither the natural nor necessary condition of the labourer ; and that if a Govern ment acted with wisdom in the interest of the people, for whose good it is appointed, such a state of things could not exist. All I have desired is to be enabled to earn a' decent maintenance by honest industry ; but this privilege has been denied me. lam told that in other countries—in America, in Canada, in New South Wales—a day labourer can earn ten times as much as is necessary to maintain him. If so, why am I not allowed to go there ? True, my, poverty pre vents my paying the expenses of the passage. But there is wealth enough in the country to pay them. Should not the Government which spends so many millions a year profes sedly for the people's happiness, expend something to pre serve me, and such as 1 am, from extreme distress ? The law which protects property, prevents me from helping my self to the means of removal to those happy countries.— Surely the law ought to provide me with those means. The law now confines me in this country, where the legal owners of wealth make a profit of my misery, by hiring my labour for the mere pittance which can keep me alive ; and the same law stops me at every point from bettering my condi tion by my own efforts. The law then is not made fir me. It gives some persons a property in my wretchedness—bet it ' gives me nothing. The law regards not -me. Is it wondir , fill I should disregard the law ? But I am told that I am indebted to the benevolence of the law for a provision against want. My Lords, it is the mode in which this benevolent law is administered by the legal authorities that has brought me into the unhappy po sition in which I now stand. I ant unmarried; and, for this reason alone, during nearly one half of the year, 1 am refused all empl oyment by the farmers of my neighbourhood. They prefer the men with large families, because, as they truly say, they must keep them, and whatever wages they pay them, go to save the poor-rate ; whereas, if they employed me, the same wages would be far more than I can claim from that rate, and, by not doing so, they save that • difference. My Lords, I humbly beg to represent that the difference which they save, as employers and rate-payers, I lose. I em prevented, through no fault of my own, but solely through my being unburdened with a family, from earning fair wages in an industrious employment, and driven to ap ply to the Overseer to save me from starvation. The Over seer sends me to work for those very farmers who refused to employ me voluntarily—to work, on their farms and for their profit, at a rate of pay of 6d. a day. My natural sense of justice revolts at being requited to do - the same work for sixpence, for which other and weaker men than myself, working by my side, receive two shillings, because they have a wife and family. The Overseer takes me before a Magistrate for not doing as much work as the man who re ceives four times as much pay as myself, and the Magis trate commits me to gaol. Thus in every way I feel the severity of the law, while its protection is in every way de nied to me. Once more, I uk, is it wonderful that the law fails in obtaining my respect? But I have been informed that the making up from the poor rate the wages of fernier, labourers, to which practice is owing their refusal to employ me, with all the ' cruel con sequences I have described, is itself illegal; that, in truth, neither overseers have the power to make, nor magistrates to order, any payments to able bodied labourers already in full work for private individuals, and consequently that I have been deprived of the opportunity of earning fair by the law, but by its abuse and infraction. M; a e s rtis, this be so, am I alone to suffer for breaking the law! those who have sot only broken the law. but, by doing have driven me to disregard and break it, to escape afl nishment, all blame, even all notice ? It cannot he urged that their motives were charity to men with large families. It could make no difference them whether they were paid their parish allowance b .parish alone, or partly by the parish and partly by mere. The object of the farmers and overseers who . *had the•prectice was, as I have said, to save the difference between the wages I should have received as a fanner': bourer, and the pittance I did receive as a parish pauper—to take this difference from me, and put it into their - ,pockets. I will not presume to say the Magistrates this motive, but every Magistrate who owns land his rents, experience the benefit of a contrivance which daces the gross amount of wages and poor-rate, at pence of the unmarried and unburdened labourers. If, then, this practice is authorised by law, I complain of it as cruel and unjust to me, and such my circumstances; if it is, as 1 am informed, unauthorised law, then I say the law h as been'broken to my groat; and I claim its protection. I claim to be allowed to I . injury I have suffered from its infraction, and require pensation from the parties who have so conspired to for their own benefit. In either case I humbly and entreat the attention of your Lordships, and of men at large, to the injustice which has at all events inflicted on me, aid which has driven me unwillingly position of an offender against those laws, which, ever felt their beneficial influence, I should have been most to respect and 'support. My Lords, lam a prisoner—l am a pauper. But, are here to administer justice, then I call on you to - ter it impartially.. Let not the rich and educated escape, while the poor and ignorant feel your ieverity, the rank, the station, or the difficult circumstances in r the Magistrates and farmers have acted, are admitted excuse for their infraction of the law, surely the cuses plead a thousand times as strongly in palliation offence of the labourer.
