KINGSTON ASSIZES, Arap. 7. SOMERSET ASSIZE.-TAUNTON. SOWN V. Ca RTIER. This was an action of trespass and false imprisooment oo a charge of felony. The case for the plaintiff was this :—The plaintiff, a widow woman, worked for the defendant, a stay-ntanu facturer, in Blackfriars-road. le the spring of last veer, the plaintiff had sold three pairs of stays to a retail deal er, named Stone, of Fleet-market.. Shortly afterwards the defendant celled upon Mr. Stone for orders, the let ter being in the habit of dealing with the defendant, but Mr. Stone declined giving any further orders, alleging, as a reason, that he could purchase goods at a much. cheaper rate, from other persons than from him. Tbis Intimation caused an inquiry into the foundation for the statement, and Mr. Stone produced three pairs of stays ' which be had.purchased of the plaintiff. These the de fendant claimed as his property, an alleged they were made of his own materials. The plaintiff was sent for ; she fame to the shop ; Mr. Stone said she was the prison of whom be had bought the stays; the defendant taxed her with robbing Lim ; she dented it, and the defendant detained her in custody while Mr. Stone and Miss Pynr, the defendant's journeywomen went to search her lodgings, but nothing was found to excite suspicion. Nevertheleas, she was delivered into custody of a constable, and carried to a watchbouse. IVltile in custody, she delivered up ' her keys, hod the defendant, io company with the watek• lions , 'keeper, went to the plaintiff's lodging. , to make further search. in the plaintiff* drawers, twenty-six pairs of stays were found, which the defendant claimed as his property. lie then canard her to he taken before a magistrate, and having sworn positively to the three pairs of stays above-mentioned, the Magistrate' con i otit ted her for trial at the sessions. The plaintiff remained in Horsemonger-lane gaol for six weeks, until the ses sions. when the Brand Jury ignored the bill of indict ment which was then preferred by the defendant. In consequence of this proceeding, the plaintiff commenced the present action. Two of the plaintiffs daughters swore positively th tt the plaintiff had seen better days ; that from her earnings sue had saved money and m tau f metered stays, with an intention of setting np business for herself in the country; and that the stays sold to Mr. Stone, as well as those found in the plaintiff's draw ers, were manufactured by herself, from ma'erials pur chased with her own money. It was proved it) , one of the daughters, that on the day the Grand Jury threw out the bill of indictment preferred by the defending, the latter said he would give 100 guineas if he could g., on with the prosecution. These were the facts upon which the plaintiff's case rested. On the part of the defendant it was suggested that tli7 defendant had foreborne, from motives of liu wattity, to adduce evidence in his tm 'on, which would haVe es- tablished the plaintiff's guilt on the prosecution above mentioned. Allusion was particularly made to the evi deuce of Miss Pyne, who could have sworn positively to the stays which had been sold by the plaintiff to Mr. Stone, as the property of the defendant. It was now proposed to call witnesses to show—firs', that all the stays above-mentioned were the property of the defend ant ; and secondly, that the plaintiff had confessed to the defendant that the stays sold by her to Mr. Stone were the property of the defendant, and had been detained by her iu consequence of Miss Pyne's omitting to set them down in a book containing entries of work delivered to her sons employed out of doors. Miss Pyne and two other workworoen employed by the defendant were c lied to prove these facts. The confession made was positively sworn to by Miss Pyne: bat as to the identity of the stays found in the prisoner's lodgings, there was con siderable doubt, and some contradiction between the wit- O clerk, the coachman of a Bristol and Bath coach, ems tried tinder the new Act of Parliament, for Man slaughter, in having furiously driven a coach so that it was upset, anti a person named James Hacuil.on killed.

Ilow-trneeT.—Yestertlay, John Smith, the shepherd, who has been remanded three different times by Mr. H•ta.s, and who was charged on suspicion of stealing, several fatting lambs, the property of Thomas Canhata, Esq. of Twickenha.'n, was fully committed for trial, wine, it appeared; in a great • measure, to the information ob• taiced by the inddatigahle exertions of the officer Holy land, who was employed in the business. le seemed that Mr. Cioharn bat a onmher of ewes and fitting lambs regularly fed with core at Twickenham, and the prisoner was his shepherd. About three weeks ago the prisoner suddenly informed him that five of the lambs had died within time four proceeding weeks, not withstanding he had regularly told Mr. Canham's on inquiry every morning daring that period, that all the ewes and lambs were right, and the bailie* had beea in the habit of seeing them every day, without having at . any time noticed any part of the carcases or the skins. — Mr. Contain suspecting the prisoner had rubbed him, questioned him, until he discovered such prevaricatiou and falsehood in hi• answers as could leave no doubt of his guilt.—The prisoner was however necessarily per mitted to continue in Ids situation a week longer, when he was taken into custody minder a warrant from this office, and four more of the fatting lambs were missing. Mr. Canis am, in the interim, male inquiry in the neigh bourhood, and discovered that the prisoner bad been sell ing lambs. The Landlady of the Cross Lancers Public-house, on Hoonslow-Leath, was a second time in attendance with her son on a summons to give evidence. Before her at tendance at this office she denied having bad any lambs of the Prisoner, arid that the two lambs which she was accused of having bought of him, and which it wasproved here she had done, she declared sere given her by per loss at Acton. On her first examination at this office, she said these two fatting lambs were given to her son, but she finally admitted having given the prisoner a shil ling and a pot of beer for one of them, on account of his Gamble in teaching her son bow to suckle them, and declared positively on her oath that the otherlamb was given to her son, and that she paid nothing for it. On the examination of another son yesterday at this office, it was proved that he paid two shillings to the shepherd for the other fatting lamb. Mr. Humphreys, the prisoner's Solicitor, attended on his behalf during the examination of this woman, and contended that his client had gone upon ancient costow. in what he had doue ; but Mr. H cu. the Sitting . Magis; trate, observed, that if the extraordinary proposition put forth by that Gentleman was allowable, a shepherd might sweep off the whole of his master's flock. MANIXOIIOOOII-6TRZET.—..Mr. CONANT, the Magis trate, was yesterday occupied during the greater part of the morning in the investigation of an extensive robbery committed in the house of Mr. Odes, jeweller and silver smith, in St. James'e-street. There are three persons in custody on suspicion of being concerned, whose names are Miclesel Bropley the father, and Richard and James Brupley, his two sons.

Mr. Giles im mediately suspected something wrong, and bad the door forced ; upon examitsimethe apartments it was discover ed that the whole of Mr. and Mrs. titles's wardrobs, together with *large quantity of jewellery, had been da,r tied off. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner Richard, who has been tome time in the service •of Mr. Giles, as porter. Vales, the officer, was employed, and took him into ees tody. On searchingimislodginge, a piece of wax, having on it the impression of the Street door key, was found. It was then thought advisable to apprelmeud the other two prisoners'. They have each ttudergone separate exa mine:toast their statements as to time and interviews were very contradictory. 'A perton named Price was alto in custody and examined, limit was discharged. On inspecting the lock of the street door, a piece of a skele ton key was found to have been broken is it. The, three e risottos were remanded for a, father examination. Eve ry article of Mr. Giles's wearing apparel except what he wore at the time, was taken away. He eitimatcs his en• tire loss at between two and three hundredlpounds.
