The proseentrix cried out murder! two or three times, and two of the Bow Street horse patrols came to her assistance. and she told them of the prlsoneee conduct In the presence of the p!ttrole, the prisoner beat her again and kicked her ; the prisoner.ran off with the bundle ; but in about two hourt afterwards he was taken in his bed at his lodgings in a public house at Sydenham. The Boar Street parole corrotiurated the pronentriz's statement, as far as they had observed the transaction. It appeared to them that the prisoner was quite sober at the time. Several witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent character from his youth upwards. Mr. Justice PARK 'amused up the evidence for the Jury, and they immediately found the prisoner Ouilty. Sentence of deathwas recorded; but the Learned Judge held out hopes of mercy to the prisoner, owl account of its previous good character. Amy Clifford, a young woman, was capitally indicted. under the st.tute for cutting and stabbing, on the 10th of Oct. lest, in the parish of Ashford, one Sarah %Verger, with "latent to do her some grievous bodily harm. Tbe prisoner was well dressed, and there was a peculiarly mild air about her. . Anne Houghton said she lived at Ashford. On Sunday the 10th of October last, witness remained at home from church, and had occasion to go to a pump for water near Mrs. Wurger's house; she met the prisoner in the passage, who ' asked if she thought the Wurgers were at hotne. Witness 'said she did not know ; and the prisoner then went and knocked at the door. ales. ?Purger opened the door, and witness saw the prisoner .go in. She then heard some high words inside, but cant say to whom they were uttered. Mrs. Wurger is the prisoner's sister. Wit ness heard the latter say what is it you have been saying about •sase ?" Witness heard no answer, but in about five minutes beard some body m violeatly. She fan and called to her Mother far assistance. • • • Elizabeth Houghton, the mums allsidielto, said she remembered, being called to no the Sunday in - question , ; when she went to Warger's house, 'Mrs. %Verger came running against her, with her bautrbleeding in a dreadful manner. Dorman, a deputy constable, said, that being attracted by the streame of the woman, lie came to time spot. He found - .Mrs. Margie with her haiiiis mend wills Mood. The prisoner was wrapping.ep two instruments in a blue handkeyAlef, which *lmes' could see were covered with blood ; 'these Were i bill and'a large hammer, lie took them both from her; asked her what she had been about: when the' prisoner replied, why do they always find fault with m-?

BOLLAND.—These were all the wads the prisoner used. She seemed dreadfully ogitaledi l and in a state of trepidation. Witness could nut say that she was insane, though she seemed quite unconscious of the crime she had committed. Sarah Wurger said she was the prisoner's sister. Recolleeta her staying at home after the family had gone to church On the Sunday in question. Ahont half past tell heard A knocking at ite door, and opened it' without looking out. The pri -ono! was there. Witness did hot Rik her in. She asked if witness was alone, and witness replied that they were all gone to church. She then said, " How comes it that you are always abasing me to my brother?" Witness said "I nave any-dinner to get ready, and don't wish to have any words with you."— Witness then went upstairs, but the prisoner followed her into a bed-reom ; she knocked witness down with a great hammer, and wounded her in a dreadful way in the hands with the bill. She be no doubt that h-r hands were cut with a sharp instru ment. 'Witness made a struggle, and * with difficulty escaped ; hat cannot say whether she was followed by the prisoner Of not. Cross-examined —Witness is older than the prisoner at the bar. Denies that she had ever in fact said any thing of her to her broth. r. Teensy years ego the prisoner had a brain few. but witness married soon after, and hes had but little inter ecurse with the family since. -Her mind was erected: by the fever, and site was reputed to be insane by the farnityr. Fur weeks together she would absent herself Awn her meals, and Sit moping in a dark room up stairs. Witness had not seen bet for twelve months before, and when she entered the room she had en Instrument in each harid. The prisoner was now called upon for her defence, Win stead of applying herself to the charge for setich she was at the ter, she poured forth a volume of abuse , in a iterrledMan- Der agalest Wurger and his wife.

' Ed ‘ard Mend came np to be heard in the matter of till petition, but was opposed by Mr. hearts on behalf of . Mr !doom,. a tailor, en a bill of exchange for 301. The insolvent, in his examinatioa by Mr. Hanle, states that he was a coal and timber merchan t at Cro y don, but tad left that place in April 1322; lie removed to tile, King's Bench, at the suit of three - creditors, to the amount of 1,10(11., and remained there until the Novem ber following. For the purpose of p rocurin g Isis die charge he employed a person named Sandon, to w.hoia he gave his asweptance of• SW.; this bill was to be lodged. with a perlion named Green for the purpose of ohtaiuing his release ; it was drawn by Sandon, and accepted by, the insolvent, payablC, not at his house. but at Air, yard's. the Surrey Coffeehouse, Blackfriars' Road. While the bill was running on, Sandon, by various representer tions; obtained from him various SO= of moor?, animist , loft to thirty pounds. It subsequently appeared that all these representations were fraiidulently made, and the insolvent prosecuted Sandoo, Who was found guilty . at the last Easter Sessions held at Newington. and transporwil. for liven years. It appeared that • Sandon had paid • the bin to •Mr. Moore the opposing creditor. When he, in- solvent, suspected be was duped. he seat his wife round to those creditors Sandon had stated he had paid money. to, and it• was discovered that Sandie had not' any arrangements. with them, nor had. be seen them they were all astonished at his being in prison, and Ma diSCIISTEO was sent by them ; he was afterwards arrested on the bill of exchange by Mr. Moore, who hail before applied to him. Mr. Likud stated that the insolvent had frequented his house, and need to make his hills payable there; witaesel recollects the insolvent telling him of the bill in question being made payable there, but he did not know he was i prisoner' at that time. 111 r. Moore said that Sandon owed him 171.. and when he tendered the bill he mails inquiries at the Surrey Hotel; these proving satisfactory, he gave the balance iu clothes. The insolvent requested permission to reed . a repott of the trial of Sandon for the fraud. frche the nuts new,- paper, but the Court could not alkiw it - be ought on his oath state inflects if he pleased. fie: then cross exa mined' the last witness at coosiderals'e length. • By the Com—Did you ever try to find ihis Mr. Green ? Insolvent—Yes, Sir. I have stint to seventera Alf. I Greens in Landon, Otho all diseaiin knowledge of a per- sou named Sandon. Mr. Duncombe, the Solicitor for the insolvint in iris prosecution against Sandon, stated that Mr. Moore, by his refusal to produce the bill of exchange. at the trial, bad thrown an obstacle in the way of the prosecution. . The Court interposed, and said they could itei allow any impntoion to be cast on the wheels: if Mr. Drincoothe bad any fact to state, be might, but Ise could trot state any reasoning of his sive. Alr. Heard contended that a ease had been made out against the insolvent, wire, at all events, had, by accepting tire bill, intended to' efraud some parson into whose hands it might fall. The Couat.—We will not pans judgment now ; but at • future period, when the Insul.ent comes up, we shall think it necessary to remand him for some tiinr. Judgment deferred. &wane! Laurence,* Jew, was opposed by another Jew, named Abraham Henry.—The Insolvent was examined, by his opposing creditor, and stated, that he had lately carried on hosinets in Bath, as a jeweller, and occasionally dealt in other articles. About the month of June, last year, an Exchequer process issued against him, in conseqrseace of which ire was under the necessity of ppplying to his eretti. tors for indulgence. which, in most instances, was granted, and he was enabled to continue his business. In the month of October following. he made a pnrcheso of goods (ruin his opposing creditor, for which he gave bills, that were afterwards paid when due; and in the month of February list, he made another purchase, which formed the debt on which he was opposed. He told Henry.' at the time of • contracting that debt that he had overcome his Exchequer difficulties, but did not say he made good all his other payments, and was doing very well. Sinee,then, he pawned a considerable part of his stork in trade, and sold the' duplicates to different person% and had also given some to his father to assist him. Ile never lost any sums of money at games 'of chance, haviog only played for a cup of coffee, or some such thing. He never played Lanscloinet, or any I °their game,stluring the Passover. The opposing creditor hevib' finished his examination of the insolvent, desired that he might be sworn to tell his 'story, which he said' would be very ilifferent.—Tb , . oath was accordingly , utimi- i nistered to him, and he took it, Contrary to the custom of the Jews, aithout putting on his'hat. Mr. Coots, who was Counsel for the insolvent, inquired of Henry wh - y'lle did not take the oath in the manner that was thePOstom, acittatigitperioSis of his perstiasion ? Henry replied, ,that it wa!'itotericommon amongst souse of ille gentlemeiiof his . persu r, egon'to take an oath without cover ing their heads. • X• . at et , •• The Elias Commisatopettobitervesl, that he had never seen it in a Court of Justice in.his life.—Henry said he wished to 'hew the Supreme Being as much respect as be would a fellow-creature !! {A number ofjewe who were in Court gave resit to the feelings this eipression excited by groans and hisses.) . Henry, in 'explanation, said, that when ha addressed Goo, either io public worship or•in hie privet , ' prayers, he always did it with his head covered ; but it was his custom, as it was the cusonn of others of bin persuasion, .to swear as ballad done. He then proceeded to give his evidence, and swore positively that the insolvent, at the time he wits contracting the debt, represented himself as being in good circumstances. Mr. Coogg addressed the Court on behalf of the in solvent; and observed on the conduct of his opposing creditor, who admitted that his religious feelings caused him to address the Supreme Being, both in public and in private worship, with his Lead uncovered, and would yet appeal to hint, in a less reverential manner, for the purpose of giving evidence against the insolvent. The only point against the insolvent was his hayloft given' some of the duplicates of the property he had pledged. to relieve his father's distress, and that was done several months before he was arrested, or had any intention of becoming apetitioner of that Court. The Cuter ComatissioNett pronounced the judgment of the Court: he said it was not a case that pressed bard against the insolvent; yet it was proper that his credi-. tors should have sonic further time ' to make inquiry rye' .petting his property; fir which purpose the Coed remand him for four months from the date of On• Wednesday morning lest, about one ecleek. broke oat ht‘Grockleford oil Pali...
