FT WI • r 7 ~4 7 N ,~ , '~",' ASSIZE& NOSTUAMPTON, JULY le: axis ZEIT OP CLERGY. A niost remarkable; and perhaps unprecedented nuance of this clerical immunity from punishment being twice prayed by a culprit occurred this day. As will be seen by the following report, a Jury were twice sworn in the case. First, to try the prisoner on the indictment; and secondly, to try whether the identical prisoner had or had not already taken the benefit of Clergy. Williams Smith, aged 20, was convicted of stealing a shirt and other articles cif wearing apparel, the proyerty of John Kean. When called up for judg ment, he knelt down in the usual:way, and prayed the benefit of Clergy. The Judge was abo nt to pus sen tence as in case of grand larceny, but was informed that the prisoner had on a former conviction received the benefit of Clergy, and had been sentenced to four months' im prisonment.—On this communication the Learned JudLe ordered him to be placed among the capital eorWtcts.—The prisoner then put in a plea, denying that he was the person so convicted, which was fol lowed by a replicittiou.—The replication'and certifi cater having been read, Mr. James Sheriff wss sworn— I 4 I ant the Governor Or Ayles bury jail. The prisoner at the bar was convicted at the Lent Assizes, 1821, and sentencedto four months' imprisonment, for stealing bacon, the property d Wm. ('hard. At the time of that conviction he prayed fecund received the benefit of Clergy." Mr. Justice Best observed, that this was the first time, during a long professional life,. that he had known a Jury called on to decide a point like the present. The prisoner had that day been convicted of a ekrical offence, and prayed for the benefit of Clergy, but it had been clearly proved by the evi dence of Mr. Sheriff, who could not be mistaken, that he had been convicted, and received the benefit pre scribed by the humanity of the law. It is clearly laid down, that no person could receive the benefit more than once, and if he was convicted of a second of fence, however trivial, he was precluded, and that offence became capital. He had never known such a ease go to the consideration of a Jury—it was there &We fosr them to judge whether the prisoner had re ceived the benefit of Clergy or not. The Jury returned a verdict in the affirmative. 9edrence of death was then passed on the priscner, in a most impresiive manner, and his Lordship hoped bib example would operate on the minds of others, and prevent a repetition of crime. A RELIGIOUS IMPOSTOR. John Watson, aged 39, and Eliza Worthy, aged 17, were indicted for stealing a quantity of wearing ap parel and other articles, from the dwelling-house of John Wilson. This case excited Considerable curio sity. The male prisoner obtained lodgings at the house of the prosecutor, where he remained-two days, and appeared extremely attentive to the duties of religion. He found his way, however, on the second night, to the bed-room of the girl Worthy, and, under promise of marriage, persuaded her to elope with him during Mrs. Wilson's absence. He took care, how ever, previously, to break open the drawers, and carry off some valuable property, which was subsequently 'Mind in his possession, and the fugitives were taken into custody. The girl ' s mistress gave her a most excellent cha teeter, on account of which she was sentenced to only six months' imprisonment; and Watson, after a strong animadversion by the Judge on the hypocritical pre tence on which he seduced the girl, was sentenced to seven years transportation. William Meadows, the younger, William Gent, the younger, Redmond Middleton, Thomas Bate*, Robert i'Vcrd, and (Jades James, indicted for a rape on Ann Newman, were put to the bar. The particulars of this offence, committed on the person of a young woman near Wellingborough, in this county, are already before the Public, and must be in general recollection. In reporting this trial, we shall therefore state the evidence and the result as concisely as possible, with a view to avoid giving that shuck to decency and Moral feeling which the detail of an enormity so grossly outraging every feel ing of humanity would necessarily excite. Ann Newman, the prosecutrix, stated the facts of the outrage committed, in a manner which excited universal sympathy. The Learned JUDGE was indefatigable in sifting the testimony 'with the most scrupulous caution, and after elaborately detailing to the Jury every fact which had been stated in evidence, and pointing out the weight and bearing of it, as well in favour of the prisoners as against them, the Jury, under the direc tions of his Lordship, acquitted Ward, and found a verdict of Guilty against the other five, on whom sentence of death was immediately passed. The whole of the capital convicts were reprieved before the Judge left the town. OXFORD, JULY 19. NIWTON V. SEELY. This was an action upon the warranty of a horse. The facts of the case, as proved, were, that Mr. New ton had purchased of the defendant, a horse-dealer, fer 151. a grey horse, warranted sound, with which he afterwards became dissatisfied, and agreed to re turn it to the defendant on receiving a chesnut mare. After keeping the chesnut mare for some time, she fell down and broke herknees ; the plaintiff then returned her is the defendant, insisting that she was not sound, far that blindness had caused the accident. The de fendant refusing to take back the mare, the present action was brought. The evidence was of a most contradictory nature, and the Jury, under Mr. Ba ron Gsaaow's direction, immediately found a ver dict for the defendant. CROWN SIDE. Mot Matthews . was indiited for a highway robbery committed on a waggoner named Joseph Thomas, early in the morning. of the 29th of March, at Net. tlebed-hill, under circumstances of peculiar violence. The-prosecutor gave the following account of tho transaction:—On Thursday, the 28th of March, he w as prodding with hit waggon to London' frogs' Orford.. and arrived at the London side of - Dorchester. bridge about a quarter before ten. in the evening. At thisflace be was joined by a man who asked per. mission to ride in the waggon : he said he could Apt make.room then, but if the man would -walk to Shil. lingflrrd, he would then let him ride. • To this the and walked beside the waggon to dittance of about a :foie:. At Milling,ti to refresh 410 horses ;hind whU7 M; •.' stranger agreed, ford, laomasstoppe irmip!mig!,.! ....-~T--~- -- - -- the sea stood Wide the wagon he had a altir of his person from the lights in the windows of the house. Hem, oleo, be had some corm/latices with him respecting the mode of his accommodation its the wages, and having made room for him, saw him get into the waggon, and gave him his bundle. Thus they went on for six miles further, when they reached Gansdown-hill, whine the stranger left the wagon. Thomas asked hire if he was tired of riding? be said he was ; and that he was ring to Windsor, and would accompany him a s far as pou g h. They then proceeded down the bill leading to Nettlebed Bottom : Thcrittas asked him to walkbehind or before him, and he went behind. As so on as the y reached the Bottom, he asked when the prosecutor intended to bait? to which he replied, " as soon as they were, at the top of the hill." Thomas then received a via lent blow on his head, immediately followed by another, the last of which knocked him down, and left him entirely senseless. When he recovered, be; was in bed at the Bull public-house, Nettlebed, and found that two pound notes of the Abingdon Bank. a pocket-hook, and the way-bill of the waggon, had been cut out of the side-pocket of his waistcoat, through his smock-frock, which had been cut, and none of these had he since seen, He first after the robbery saw the prisoner at. Abingdon on the 23d of April, having gone expecting to see him. He was then in a different dress, and he (the witness) was not then quite certain that he was the man who had joined him on the 28th of March. When he. heard him speak, he thought be war the man by his voice. On the next day-he saw him again; he was then In the dress lie wore at the trial, and which he had on at the time df the robbery—a dark peen velveteen jacket; lie then had no doubt as to his person. The waggon had an iron scraper hung between its wheels on the side by which the stranger walked on the night of the robbery. He had, as the prosecutor remarked at the time, a large nose and whiskeri. In reply to questions put to him by the Learned Judge, the witness said, that when he was before the Magistrates, and the prisoner was produced to him a second time, his expressions were—" The prisoner is the man, and I believe it is no one else." He had never seen the prisoner before that evening. He went altogether four times to Abingdon to see him, at three of which he was in his present dress. The third time, be said, that " he knew him by his voice and by his dress;" but thought he added, " and by his person also." Daniel Stephens said, that he was a navigator, em ployed in making the canal at Clifton, which is about four miles from Abingdon, and two miles and a half from Shillingford-bridge. The prisoner wits, with many others, paid off on Wednesday, and was not at work on the Thursday or Friday following. He had on a dark velveteen jacket, and a smock-frock. The witness saw him on ursd a y evening, when be said be was going to lie down. The prisoner's dress was a common one among the navigators - at the plaie.— He was taken back again on Saturday, and worked four or five days afterwards. Martha Franklin, the daughter of an innkeeper at Clifton-ferry, saw the prisoner about eight o'clock on the morning of the Friday. He came to her mother's house a little before eight, and had three pints of beer and bread and cheese, but she could not tell in what direction he came. He paid in a country bank note, for which he received change; she believed it was an Abingdon note, but could not tell with cer tainty. The house was three miles from Dorchester Bridge, about eleven from the place of the robbery, and opposite the place where the navigators work on the other side of the river. Many Abingdon notes were in circulation theite, and she often took them. William Wheeler, a labourer working at Nettlebed, went, on the morning after the robbery, to the place where it had been committed, and observed a quan tity of blood, and a large bar of iron. He picked it up, and found it stained with blood, and with hair sticking to it.—The iron was produced in Court, and identified as the same found by the witness. Richaill Glanville, the landlord of the Bull, at Nettlebed, remembered Thomas being brought to his house between two and threein the morning of the robbery.. He was very much beaten about the head and mouth, and quite senseless. Thomas being recalled, said that he was knocked down about two in the morning. This was the case on the part of the prosecution. The prisoner being called on for his defence, said, " I think it very hard, my Lord, for me to be accused of this robbery. My common wear is a smock-frock over my jacket. I know no more. I am innocent of the crime. Twenty of us were discharged at once. There was no room for us to sleep anywhere, so we lay down where we could. I lay down by myself that night, and that is the reason I haveno witnesses." Stephens being called back, confirmed this state ment as to the number of navigators discharged, who were turned away because there were more workmen than were wanted; and as to the want of lodging, which forced many of them to lie in the fields. Mr. Justice BAYLEY summed up the evidence to the Jury. He observed, that there could be nedoubt that Thomas had been robbed, and had been treated with great cruelty, and that he believed the prisoner so be the offender; but the important qu,estipn for them to consider was, whether they were quite sure that in this last point he was not in error ? identity was always matter of belief; though confirmatory circumstances might change that belief into moral certainty. If immediately after a robbery the suf ferer saw the accused—if he was not prepared to ex pect him, and yet knew him at ence—above all, if yreasonabl Th e mind.

On the whole, the Learned Judge implored the Jury iv to g their anxious attention t o t h e ca s e ; if they felt confi dente that the impression of Thomas was the true ne they must find the prisoner guilty ; but if they en o ter; tamed any reasonable doubt, cher ought to acq uit him.' ! The Jury retired for short time, and on th • turn into Court found the prisoner Guilty . en. re. Mr. Justice SAVA -• immediately n:wee / 1W to • pronounce mnersce of death.

It appeared that the plaintiff , a . could not get his money, and Walt AO his house to den him. Finding he could not gain admittance, he knocked at the door several times, and abused him through the keyhole. The defendant' then sent for - Powton, a constable, and bothtogether took the plain-. tiff to the cage at Ware, and in their way there halt him with the constable's staff on the head. He was confined for five hours, and the next :uprising he was discharged by the Magistrates t The Jury, under all the circumstances of the case, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages ls. GODFREY F. WHITING AND ANOTHER. The plaintiff was a charwoman in the service of a baker at Hoddesdon. and waebeing drivels in a gig t by her master's son to London, when the defend ants,, he proprietors of ° l :position coaches , from Ponders End, came along at a furious rate, racing against each other. The road was 35 feet wide, and the gig was pulled up on its right side, but one of the coaches came in collision the gig was up s et, and the plain tiff so much hurt that she was confined for a fortnight, and her surgeon's bill amounted to £B. The defendants' Counsel severally addressed the Jury in mitigation of damages, with their usual abi lity, but called no witnesses. The LORD Cam Banos; summed up the whole of the evidence, and left the case fdr the consideration of the Jury. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Da- i mages, Fifty-five Pounds. • CROWN SIDE. The Assizes for this county finished late on Satur day evening. After the jail was delivered Mr. Jus tice PARK assisted the LORD Cour BARON in trying causes, some of which were very heavy in point of length, but destitute of public interest. On Friday part of a desperate gang of house breakers, who have for the last two or three years infested Bishop's Stortford and its neighbourhood, and had committed several daring. burglaries, were tried and convicted. One of them, Edward Lee, against whom there were no less than six indictments, was tried and convicted upon three. The most prominent case against him was that of a burglary committed in the dwelling-house of Mr. Thomas Poole, a respectable farmer at Sawbridgo worth, on the sth of February last. In support of the prosecution, the principal witness was an ac complice, named John Fordham, who deposed that the robbery in question had been planned by the pri soner, a man named Phipps (who was tried and con vi:ted at the last Assizes for this county of the same burglary), and himself. They were all bargemen on the river Stort, and after spending their evening at a benefit club in Bishop's Stortford, they went to the prosecutor's house about twelve at night, and forced their way in by means of a pick-axe, with which tkey split the door down. The prosecutor, awakened by the noise, went to the window, and in his terror threw out to one of the ruffians ISI. in bank notes and some silver. In the meantime, the other two began to rifle the house, and found under the bed of the prosecutor's daughter a muff-box, containing various articles of plate, with which they decamped,—Verdict—Guilty. Charles Lee was then tried with another man, named Meary Saggs, for a burglary in the dwelling house of Hen. Ainey, a farmer, at Sawbridgeworth, in the night of the 12th of September, 1820, and stealing therein %Abs. of pork, and other articles.— The principal witness was Fordham, the approver, whose evidence being corroborated in massy para. • culars, the prisoners were found Guilty. Charles Lee took his trial for another burglary, in the dwelling-house of two ladies, named Langton, of Bishop's Stortford, on the night of the 27th of Octo ber, 1820, and stealing therein several articles of kitchen furniture. Verdict—Guilty. Joseph Gfen, another of the same gang of thieves, was tried and convicted of -a burglary in the dwel ling-house of John Clark, on the night of the 14th of September, 1820, at Cheshunt, and stealing therein Bank-notes to the amount of 351. ''The Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions, found the prisoner IGstilty. Sentence of Death was immediately pro nounced upon these three convicts, but Lee only I was left for execution, there being no evidence that Saggs and Griffen were old offenders. William Pain was indicted for stealing a pair of small-clothes, the property of the Churchwardens and Overseers of the Poor of the parish of Hitchin. This was rather a novel case in principle. The principal witness against the prisoner was a pauper boy belonging to the Hitchin Workhouse, of which the prisoner himself was an inmate. The small clothes in question, which formed part of the cloth ing allowed to paupers in the poorhouse, was assigned, siz and pe tl i : c e e fct i a ih s e we st r .o e, ol t d ha g t o th a e o p d riso steia ner t o h ff e e s r h ed the k boy for the use of a shoemaker who li ve d i n t h e h ouse , oema er s breeches; the boy a gree d to d o so; h e entered the house whilst the prisoner wait outoitle,• took the I breeches, came out, and gavelem to the prisoner, who paid the boy the sixpence.Thr e prisoner was in said, t 0 the the indictme nt ordinary principle, was well 1 in dicted as principal felon, and not as t h e rece i ver, and fraMmer.4,Juisitoiem analogy Justice PARTe ogy that where several persons go with one common and guilty abetting, purpose a t r o e o p o re ly sen o t o , e a i i s di t i h ig e c p . r w in in cip it a a ls, " :h in oUg a h li active person in the crime. The prisoner's was not the band that took the property, but the boy was his agent, and it was the same as if the prisoner himself had effected the robbery.

Conormea INQuesr.—At tw-3 o'clock, on Satur day afternoon, Mr. Sit Er.roN, the Coroner, and a very respectable Jury, assembled at the Crown, in Kent 'street, Southwark, to inquire into the cause of tkr death of a fine female child, named Elizabeth Jacobs, aged only two years and three months. Mrs. Ilanratli Gifford, residing at No. 6, Eisher's•buildings, street, deposed, that she gained her livelih , od by eta nufacturing fancy and ladies reticule baskets, a-,1 occasionally used oil of vitriol and iudigo to colour the wicker. On Tuesday evening last, she being in want of such drugs, went to a chemist's to purch.,e some, having previously intrusted her little boy tot: le care of the deceased's mother whilst she was absent. After she had procured the cempotnrd he returned to Mrs. Jacob's house for her little boy, and ha; vened to lay the poison in a cup on the table, %%last she wrapped her child up in a shawl, and at that moment the deceased, who was standing near the table, drain: about a tea-spoonful of the poison, and in an instant its mouth and lips were shockingly corroded. The another of the deceased took it up in her arm., a; . .d poured some cold water down its throat, and aaer wards ran into the street, where she was met Ly neighbour, named Carpenter,. who took the chld from her, and administered some antidotes, which caused excessive vomiting, and the ejected matter was of a blue colour. The deceased lingered in the most excruciating pain till the next night, wEen it died in convulsions. The Jury returned a verdic " That the deceased came by its death by au . - 'clentally drinking poison." Both the Coroner aad Jury deemed the conduct of Carpenter worthy cf their praise and thanks.
