TIIE NATIONAL REGP4TEII: and charging for new, and by charging in several instances much more than the real measure of the timber used. Pottineer and Boghurst were found guilty ; the defendant, Ford, not guilty. At the Winchester Sessions, held last week in that city, the Rev. James cradocke, of Twy ford, was tried on an indictment, charging him with an assault, and with indecent practices, on his late servant, Richard Monday. The cause excin d great Inteszst, the Court being unusually crowded at an early I:our; and, after a full investigation of the business, which lasted from nine o'clock until two, Nir. Cradocke was, to the entire satis faction of the whole Court, most honourably acquitted, the Jury not having had the usual charge from the Chairman, who stated, that the defendant went out of COW t as pure as himself, ue:iny other person there. An interesting case was lately decided at Warwick Sessions. A young surg: on, who had married against the con,eee of his nds, deserted his wife and child. The wife, often in rain appealing to the father of her husband f r relief, threw herself upon the palish of Birmingham. The parish sued e:e lather of the husband, to compel him to support the child, and the Court adjudged hien to pay for the maintenance of the same. At Salisbury Assizes, Samuel Tucker was indicted for the wilful murder of Ann Tucker, his wife, at liredford, in the county of Wilts. This was a case of the most atrocious kind. It appeared in evidence, that the prisoner, who was originally weever, and has since practised medicine, and called himself Docor 'fucker, many months since conceived the design of murdering his wife, on account of the disparity of ages, she being about •2S years older than himself. That in order to effect her ocath, he kept her continually confined in his house, with out allowing any cane to see her, from the first of last January till the day when she died, on the eth of March last, allowing her only a small quantity of h tlf-boiled potatoes, and barley bread and a hale water. That he frequently left his house for two days together, during which she was locked up and without food ; and that her room, by reason of the non-admittance of air and certain offensive things left therein, wai nearly sufficient to create putridity. By this treatment she became so greatly emaciated as to be unable to in •Ve oat of her bed, during which time) he still continued his ill-treatment, and she was :tette:fly starved to death. The surgeon stated, that on eeamining the eerese, it was literally nothing but skin and hone. The chief witnesses against the prisoner were people cif the name of By keid, who were the deceased's children by a former husband.— The prisoner, in his defenre, stated, that his wife had a disor der in her bowels, which prevented bins franc sleeping or asso ciating with her, and that she had a voracious appetite which emsld never he satistied. The Jury found and the Judge immediately passed upon him the awful sentence of the law ' and ordered him for execution on Friday next, and his body to be delivered to a surgeon to be dissected. The prisoner ap peared totally void of agitation during the whole trial which Pasted seven hours. A bill of indictment was preferred at!ainst Peter Le Cave, fur telony, but returned ignoramus by the c :rand Jury. It .ppearcd that he was in extreme indi.,!enct., but was an i.rtist of v e ry su perior merit. Whilst he was in Wilton jail he painted many piece: in the style of Moriand, some of which are siated to he even superior to the performances of that artist, with whom Le Cave lived many years as a professional assist.int ; and he state.: that many paintings of Hs were only varnished over by *Alorland, and sold by that artist as his own. Nlany of the principal Gentlemen of the county have visited i.e Cave in jail, and declared his drawings and paintinzt:, in many instances, to excel Nloriand's. Chelmsford Assizes commence cn Wednesday next, before the Itigl.t Hon. Lurd Ellenboroio and Lord Chia Laron Macdonald. The calendar is very light, there b..ing only twenty-tour prisoners tor trial, and most of those for slitht offences. A hardened villain, named Jones, waq sentenced at the Not tingham Sessions, to seven years transportation ; when, in an undaunted tone, he expressed a wish that the Recorder might sit on the Bench till he returned. SINGULAR Dl*COVEaY.—About two years ago the wife of lr Daddeu, a curitdealer, in the neighbourhood of Kingston, was lost from her home, and supposed to have been drowned in returning tram H:tmpton Court, her bonnet having been found in the rivtr; and her husband mourned her fuss in the usual manner; but on going through Vallitri, in Kenc, last week, to the surprize of Bidden, his supposed /ifiqess rib presented het self, mounted on the top of a baggage waggon, with a chopping boy at her breast, in the character of a corporal's wife, with whom it turpcd out she had eloped from Kingston, and to whom she was afterwuidi betrothed. Badden bad got married also, and it is not apprehended that the lawyers will have any Wow big OR the occasion. ~!~ TUESDArS I,O,yDON GAZEIV.L. 4 5 S'*_% BANKRUPTCIES ENLARGED.
