The prisoner was the nephew heir at law of Joshua Hodgson of Scholes, who died se latter end of December. leaving by will the greater of his property to Robert Sellers, and leaving no t of it to the prisoner, which was the probable motive this act of diabolical revenge. The crime was stated have been committed on the 6th of Dec. ' and to have en seen by himself and his son ; and the first Womb \ given of it was on the 13th of January. after the , 1 and f I of his uncle, and when the contents of sill was known to the prisoner. The falsehood of deposition in ide by the prisoner was made out by • t variety of evidence, both positive and circuinstam one saiking feature of which was, that the O f, on tile 16th of January, made a deposition, coa ts-sing, in the most important and essential partici'. the statement he had made upon oath cm the pre. ..sz day.

PRIIIND. The defendant who bolds the situation of Chinch warden of Wick Regis, in this county, was tried upon an indictment. charging him with having written a dibel against the Rev. Mr.-Chamberlain, the Rector of the above-mentioned parish, which was published in the Dorchester Gesette. In the alleged libel the de fendant stated, with respect to the distribution of the sacrament money," that, for some years past, the Rector had been is the habit of keeping it until the Christmas, when be distributed it at his own house, where it was considered his own private & na ti o ...— The defendant alleged that be had opposed this system of distribution, and contended for the old and fair me, shod of distributing the money impartially in the vestry. amongst the deserving poor. It proceeded to say, that, in consequence of his opposition to the Kee toes (the prosecutor's) manner of distributing the charity of the parishioners to the poor, he (the de fendant), after having beim peaceably, in the posses sion of the pew for nice months, and expended 201. in fitting it up, was dispossessed of it by violence, to make room for the charity children. The alleged libel con cluded by charging the plaintiff with having stated in a letter that which he not only knew to be untrue, but which be knew to be a direct and positive falsehood. After evidence was called and the Counsel had been heard on both sides, Jedge Busootmil explained to the Jury the operation of the law, and said that, io his' opinion, the letter written by the defendant was a gross libel. The Jury immediately foupd the defendant Guilty. Judge Buottouoe said that the same apology would now be accepted as had been before offered, bat Mr. Willies, refused to make any aeknowledgment. ....- ----- SATURDAY. JULY 27. RODIIRRY OF TOR BRIDPORT BRANCH DANZ. Henry Saffron was arraigned upon a charge of hav ing, on the night of the 2J of February, 1817, !Ingle. rionsly broken open sad entered the dwelling-house of Mary Daly, of Bridport. in the county of Dor set, and stealing thirty promissory Dotes, of the value of 101. each of the Dorchester Bask, and thirty notes, of the value offif. each. and divers other notes and monies, to the meson of between two sod three thousand puede, the property of Messrs. Cox, Merle and Pattison. that stated the case for the prosecution, which was for a robbery committed so far back as 1817, and which he understood to prove by a chain of facts. as ex traordinary as they were conclusive, when taken toge ther. The prosecutors, at the time of the robbery, were the proprietors of the Dorchester Bank, and kept also a Branch Bank at Bridport, where the business was tar ried on in two rooms of a bone occupied by Mrs. Daly. On the 21st of February, 1817, the room where tbe strong box was kept, was discovered to have been bets glariously entered, the strong-box forced open, and pro- perty to the amount stated in the indictment stolen. Every pursuit and search was made after the robbers, hat without •success. Amongst the notes stolen were some of the Bridport Bank of Messrs. Oundry and Co., sad Of these and some other stolen notes a list was made, and a printed one circulated, to caution tradesmen against taking them. But no trace was obtained of the robbers, and that whole dept until the lat r end of April last, tete% ose" IT fie dolts notes des Tsaßrted for payment, with a visible alteration of the number, and others soon alter followed. Upon this circumstance as Investigation was entered into, when they were all traced to the prisoner, who bad paid them is the manner that would be related by, the witnesses. Search warrants were obtained to examine the house where the prisoner lodged, alien. in the drawer of a cabinet, money to a considerable amount had been found. A one-pound note of the Bridport Bank was found with the number perfectly altered, and evidently altered for circulation. There was also this extraor dinary circumstance connected with the finding of the altered note, that, in this private drawer, by the side of it. was found one of the printed bills of the notes stolen, with their numbers. There was another most extraordinary fact, which would be proved in evidence, which was, that a fortnight after the robbery had been committed an anosymous letter was received by the prosecutor, and which imputes the annieission of the robbery to a family which resided is the neigh bourbood, of the name of 'Packet. This family there was not the slightest grounds for chargieg with the offence, which there was as little reason to believe them guilty of as any Juryman in the box. This let. ter, it was afterwards aseerta'ned, was in the hand. writing of the defendant, and s ' Jury would , when it vL was read, judge of its bear 14 upon the case, and whether it, object was to throw the prosecutors upon a wrong scent. The prisoner, when under examination, in giving an account of his p ion of the money, said he had received it of his brother who was dead, and who had received it himself from the Dorchester bank. But it would be proved that the notes stolen were traced to the prisoner, and it would be for the Jury to say whether under all the circumstances un explained by the prisoner, he must nut bare been con cerned Is the robber:. and to the proof of these cir cumstances be now ciaimed their attention. The statement of the Counsel baring been confirmed by evidence, The prisoner was then called upon for his defence. Sampson.—" I'll tenet all so my Counsel." In his defence, to prove that the gold found belonged to his mother. Sarah Massey, his sister, was called.— She deposed that her mother had saved twenty-three guineas. There was a cabinet which was aped by the whole family. Cross examined.—She did not kilt', that her mo ther saved any sovereigns. A number of persons, farmers and tradesmen resid ing in the neighbourhood of the prisoner, and who had known him, some from infancy, others for ten years, and others for the last live years, gave him a good character as a batd working and induetrious man, of whom they bad never heard any imputatiolt. He bad got forward since 181 7, but before that time be worked with his father as a labourer. Mr. Justice RICHARDSON charged the Jury atArreat leng.b and with greet perspicuity. expliiiiing ths bearings of the several points of evi.lence r wilich he said were must extraorlivary. Ile left It ( jo the Jury to say, whether, from the possession of property nor, such circumstances, they believed the ;slimmer HMI have been concerned in the rubbery. The Jury deliberated fur nearly a quirts( of an hour, and then returned a verdict of Guilty. The Jury and the prosecutor strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy on at count of his former good Omfatter. The Ju nue then put on the black cap, and in a most solemn and affecting manner, proceeded to pass seri •enee upon the convict, who, he said, had been f mud guilty upon a chain of osimi•e circumeasces, which •••••1M...011 1 1 00 i , first tended to excite serpieios, sad demos they stool ea, amounted to proof that the primmer most bey. be of the robbers, sod fully to Justify the Ver dict that bad been given. Use or two of the skean.. stances takes alone might have bees consistent with his defence, but when taken together. they formed a state of things that rendered it impossible for the July, in their dol. not to fix the guilt aeon the pri soner. In considering the offence which the prisoner bad perpetrated with others, it could cot fail to strike all as one which was as ostensive as it was atrocious, conducted with great art and deliberation, and con certed with utcommon skill. In every way in which he considered it, his embarrassment was i d to resoncile his laciandeti duty to the public with the lan mane reconamendation of the Jnry and the prose tutors; fur how could be reconcile it to his duty to recommend merry for a crime thus extensive, and thus concocted with great skill, and concerted with great prudence—entered' into, not with the rashness of in experienced youth, het with all the coolneu and cau tion of age and deliberation. Few Aesises ever pro deiced a parallel case, and it was such, that with all the consi.leration he could give it, lie thought it would be impossible for him to recommend the prisoner to mercy; and his Lordthip, in the most impressive man ner. bade the prisoner prepare for the worst, and make the beet use of his time in making his peace in the beet way lie could with hi. Ood and his country. He bad been long growing rich at the impasse of those whom be had robbed, and however fair appearances might have been for a long time to his friends and his neighbours, his own conscience must have told him how guilty that appearance had been obtained. Again the Learned Judge bade the prisoner prepare for the worst, and proceeded to pass the dreadfnl sentence of Death upon him. The prisoner. airliner distress of mind became ap• parest as the facts rose in evideace, and increased greatly towards its conclusion, sow became greatly agitated, and in a tone almost inaudible from emotion, be cried out, " I hope your Lordship will bare mercy on me, fur it is my first eifence." The most intense interest was excited by the trial, during which the venerable fattier of the prisoner sat with• his three daughters by his side in the gallery, and ezeitid much sympathy. The Assizes having concluded, the Judges left town without respiting the prisoner. CHELMSFORD. THE KING V. AND DROWN. This was an indictment against the defendants for a conspiracy to obtain 152 sheep. by offering two bills of exchange, one of which was drawn upon and accepted by Brown by the title of Lord Viscount Montague. end addressed , to him at Storrington-hall. Sussex. and pay able at the house if a Mr. Champ, in London, anal which when presented, the answer was, that no such person was known there; and The other, a bill equally worth less, sad accepted by another person, payable at a bank er's in the city. Mr. Knox stated the case for the prosecution. which, according to the evidence, was in ',Warm this :—An . ;gooiest and illiterate %Veldt's,* had beemosigloyed by his master, a Mr. Edwards, of Denbighshire, to sell the sheep is question, aid for that impose be west to Har low bush fair on the 9th of September. 1820. Two of the alleged conspirator', Archer and Church (the latter Of whom was concerted at the last mobile for this coun ty. and sentenced to six mosths' imprisonment), west down in a gig to the fair. and pretesdiog to be great cattle-dealers. purchased the whole of tile dock. for hich they gave the two bills of exchange in condos, and received from the unsuspecting Welshmen 10f. as the difference between the amount of the bills and the stipulated price of the sheep. They took them to Lon don, anal sold part of them to a gentleman near Kentish town. Whilst the sheep were in- the possession of the latter, the pretended Peer (Mr. 'Pow's) came and said that time sheep were his. and not Church's, and that Church was merely his drover. It appeared that the soi-disant Lord had n dilapidated house in Sussex, call ed Storringtoo-ball, but did not reside there. This was the substance of the case. The formality of proof re quiemd to support the indictment having been gone through, ' Mr. ADOLPHUS addressed the Jury on behalf of the defendants, and contended that there was not sufficient proof 'to support the indictment against the Noble Lord, even if all that had been proved against him were true. All that the evidence amounted to was. that be bad given a bill of exchange to the other defendants, of which a bail use had been made. His claiming the sheep eight or nine days afterwards did not amount to proof that he hail conspired to obtain the sheep by means of the bills. It had been proved that the Noble Lord had a house in Sussex, called Storrington-ball; and, although be did I not reside there, still it could not be doubted that the bill was genuine, though it did not produce any effects, The Jury foetid both defendants Onilty..The defend ant Brown was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, and to pays fine of ten pounds ; and the other defend ant to a like term of imprisonment, and to pay a fine of five pounds. Mr. Brown was a man of respectable appearasce, re thee above the middle age. It is said he is prosecuting Lis claim to the title of Viscoaat Montagne, anal the estates thereto belonging.

As many of the adjacent build-' ings were for the most part of wood, and in the rear stood the extensive brewery of Meson. Horncastle (for merly Messrs.

The house of Mr. Story, the sac tio•eer, was also damaged by the fire, and the devour ing 'lenient nest extended its rava•_es to the brewery, A great portio.l of which, with some of the machinery. was reilnred to ashes. From the coefieed situation of the premism, it is trite a miracle that the fire could have been pat out without doing greater damage. However, had it not been fur the calmness of the morning, the whole neighbourhood must bare beets destroyed.
