I WINCHESTER ASSIZES, TVISDAT, AVOrIT i until .dnesday, IL. Coleman, a horse-dealer. Richard Westwood was at Pareham Fair on the nth June, and bought a bay ware there of the prisoner for 41. lie told the wit ness that lie came from Bartley, in the New Forest; he said his name was Henry Shootby. The WitLeSl on the same day sold the mare to Mr. Coleman. Samuel Coleman, a horse-dealer, In London, bought a bay mare of the last witness, at Fatalism Fair, on the 29th June. He brought the mare with him to this town, where the prosecutor hail seen ha, and claimed her as his property. .—.— Short. a Lyndhurst mnstable, apprehended the prisoner on the 30th of June. lie said to the witness when taken, " I have, not gold the horse." The constable took him to a public-house, where he said that he had stolen the mare, having taken a halter with him fur the purpose; and that he took bee direct to Fasebain Fair (through bye ways), where he sold bet. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. John Frau was convicted of entering the dwelling-boast of J. and W. Shiers, at Hortley, in the county of Sussex, on the 21st May. In the day time, and stealing various articles of westing op peal, their property. The prisoner was not capitally indicted. and when the Jury had pronounced their verdict, his Lordship took occasion to 'croak, that it was always best to indict for this offence under the Statute of Elisabeth, which was framed expressly for the protection of labourers I to husbandry, who are compelled frequently to leave their houses, temporarily unoccupied. If favourable circumstances appeared in any case, they would be cot.sidered in the proper quarter. The Learned Junot then sentenced the prisoner to seven years' transportation upon which lie thanked his Lordship, and hoped he would sit there till he returned. Mr. Baron Hoe aow directed the prisoner to be brought back, and informed hint that he had the power then of altering his sen. tenet, and ordered him to be coatined two years in the House of Correction. and there kept to hard labour. At all events, his Lord ship observed, he would make the prisoner work 'hard fur two years, and would disappoint him of going abroad. Richard Ilarsood was indicted for burclariously breaking and entering the house of Jane 1/rake, of Kings Clem, in the night of the 30th April, and stealing therein eighteen shillings and several penny pieces, to the amount of nine.pecce, her property. Richard Tibley, a servant of the proaecutnx, deposed, that he kept a box in his mistress's brewhouse, in which the money was put which be received for yeast. He locked up the brewhouse on the' evening of the 3lkh. fln going to his work the neat morning at 6 o'clock the prisoner told him that the brewhouse had been broken open, and the money stolen out of the box. He immediately went there, and saw the box empty on the outside of the brewhouse, and the bottom of the door broken. Haewoi.isaid he heard a knocking between twelve and one o'clock in the morning, and the dogs barked, but when he got down stairs hr saw no one. Richard Prake, the son of the prosecutrix, deposed, that in eon. sequence of the communication of the last witness he went into the prisoner's room, which was situated over the brewhou..e, where he found three shillings, and nine-pence in copper. Witness removed the prisoner's bed, under which two boards in the Boor had been taken away, which made a sufficient aperture to admit of 'a person getting through it. On the u : oroing after the robbery the prisoner confessid to the witness that he hail got through the hole in the boards in his bed-room into the brewbouse, and took out the money from the box. Ile gave the witness 135.„ which, with the 3s. 9d. found in his bed room, was all the money he had taken. His Lou/slur observed to the Jur y , in his synuning up, that the witness Tinley had said that be did not go to work till six o'clock in the morning, and that therefore there was on the 30th April more than an hour of daylight before that time. Crider this circumstance he thom„ht the Jury would do right not to find the prisoner guilty of the burglary. l'erdict—Guilly of stealing, but not of the burglary. The prisoner was sentenced to six miunthe hard labour in the House of Correction. SHEEP STF.AI,INH. John Vali, Richard Geary, Janus Ran, and Richard rere. than., were severally intlictid for stealing three sheep, on the 21st' of February last, in the parish of Sparsholt, the property of Chalks Fielder, a fanner, in that parish. The prosecutor stated, that in February he received information respecting tome of his sheep, and in consequence he went to his fold, and found the track of severs) men's feet there. At the time he went to hit fold, the sheep in question wire missing, and soon alter the skins of these sheep were brought to him I- v his shephinl, Browning. lie was epsitive that they were the skins of the sheep lie missed when at the'fokl.

The Jury immediately acquitted all the prisoners. The four prisoners, and Kocher, wort ordered to he detained on another charge of sheep-stealing. At the rising of the Court, Foe, lii;gs, and Shelley, were again brought into the dock. and his Luyt.ship informed them that in their cases he found codling that in 'wed upon him the necessity of passing sentence of death upon them at present, and his Majesty would probably attend to his recommendation upon the subject ; but they must prepare themselves to leave the country for life. CIVIL SIDE. JOLLIFFE V. lIENDLE. Mr. P. IVtt.t.tasts stated the plaintiff's ease to the Jury, and informed them that the parties in this action were extensive sheep fanners, and that his client resiOed at Bownhem, in the Isle of IVight. On the 12th of August in the last year he went to Brid. port fair, where he bargained with the defendant for the porches: of one hundred shee.i. at 20s. a head. The sheep were bought under a warranty, aril were driven to the plaintiff's farm with great care by his own servants, and on reaching their destination were treated like the rest of his dock. The plaintif sold 30 of these sheep to a man named Grimes. a neighbouring farmer, and in about six weeks afterwards one of them was seized with a disease, the principal symptom of which was extreme stupidity in the ani mal, and death ultimately ensued. The plaintiff, in consequence, ass obliged to refund the nitriey he had riceived from Grinies, the sheep that he hail retained sharing the same fate as those that he had sold. At last h, found it necessary to make an application to the defendant, who readily consentod to conic to an accommoda tion. However, although 36 sheep out of the number purchased died of this disorder called the "goggles," vet the defendant re fusal to make recompense to the plaintih' at ail proportioned to the Justice of the MSC j and for that reason he was compelled to bring his action. W. Grimes, a farmer in the Isle of Wight, deposed to his baring bought 3 sheep from the plaintiff, who said he hsd pur chased them at Bridport Fair, at 20s. ahead. ‘Vitness bought the sheep the day after they arrived at home; and in October they were taken ill. The symptoms were. drooping of the ears and di lation of the eyes. The rest of his Hock, whtch eonsist:d of 200, were not affected by the disease. The sick sheep began to die in January. Hr lost 10 out of the 30. Witness had no warranty with the sheep, but he returned tl•rm on Jrlliffe's land, and re ceived the money for them again. The warranty of the defendant to the plaintiff was put us. It was a letter acknowledging the sale of the sheep. Haverstoek, the drover, proved that he had used due care in driving the sheep from Bridport to the isle of Wight. Hoff, the plaintiff's shepherd, described the symptoms of the disease with which the sheep were attacked. 30 out of the 70 died. Oreenharn, • sheep-doctor, knew the disease in question ; it was called the " goggles." Ile had practised for 10 years in hie present calling. It originated in breeding too long In the same stock. Sheep affected with it were not sound. Middleton had a conversation with the defendant on the subject of the sheep, when he told him that he would go and make all pleasant. Mr. Sergeant WrLDE, for the defendant, maintained that there was no evidence to shew that the disease had begun at the time the sheep were sold. If the disease had originated, as had been de scribed, by breeding, in and in, he should call the breeder to prove that this was not the case with the sheep that were the subject of the present action. J. Miller. • breeder of sheep, proved, that in the years 1820, MI, and 1822, he bred lambs out of the same south down ewes land rams, crossed between Leicester and Cotswold. Ile sold the ewe and wether lambs to a Mr. Illatchford in 1820; the wethers of 1821 to a Mr. Dowling; and the ewes and 'ethers 011322 to Mr. Illachford. The two-tooth lambs of last August were dropped in the Spring of 1022, Breeding from the saute ewes, but different rams, was not breeding in and in. Illatchlord. Archcr, andllewett deposed to having purchased lambs from Miller, and that they bad never heard a complaint of them. The CHIEF Jr•Ttet left it to the Jury to say whether at the time of the ask the sheep were affixed with that disease of which many had since died. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 20W. sub ject to an arrangement between the p.atics. TROUD, JUN. r. SIIITtt. This was an anion of assault and battery, brought by the 'plain tiff, a lad 14 years of age in the Se m ite of Mr. Lee, a danc'hg , master in this neighbourhOod, against Mr. Smith, a farmer, livit.g opposite to Mr. Lee. It appeared that some fowls had been driven by the lad upon the premixes of the defendant, who came out with a horse-whip, and asked the plaintiff why he had driven the fowls into his garden. The boy wise the defendant a saucy answer, who, in his turn, applied the horse-whip to him. and cut his face. It appeared, in the cross-examinathin of Froud's witnesses, that there had been a dispute between the defendant and Lee, and that the son of the latter was an attorney, and that Mr. Smith bad been indicted and acquitted at the Quarter Sessions, in consequence of, the absence of the prosecutor and his witnesses. Mr.liir ;my - ft, for the defence. afur congratulating the plaintiff 'a attorney on the brilliant manner in which he had commenced his career in the profession, observed, that his friend. Sergeant Span kie, who had recently returned from India, had alluded the other day,' in a use of a similar description to this, to a coin there, the value of which was about the one-hundreth part of a farthing. Ile re gretted such a coin did not exist in this country for the purposes of the present action, that the Jury might mark their contempt of it by giving that sum to the plaintiff; but he trusted they would not give the plaintiff more than one farthing damages. The Liner Jerrice said, that if the Jury wereof opinion that, after the indictment at the Session', this action ought tint to have bent brought, and that it would not have been brought if Mr. Let's naiad not been an attorney, then they would do well to frustrate the attempt at obtaining costs, by giving the plaintiff the smallest possible damages. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages one fudging. 3oxrs r. DAYRELL. 1 • • fr in this The p laintiff who sought to recover certain sums of money alleged to be due to him from the defendant, a gentleman resid:ag in Buckingham shire _ _ W. Collington, a clerk to the plaintiff, deposed, that in June, 1823, or some time before July . m that year, he received orders front the defendant to repair a gig, the charge for which was 255. That money was not yet paid. In July Mr. Darrell came to his master's shop with the drawing of a Stanhope phaeton, and asked what the price of building such a carriage would be. Mr. Jones told hint 120 guineas. Mr. Dayrell said he would have it built, and the phactun was put in hand t it was built in two months. Witness recollected Mr. Dayrell being married. Before that time he came to bin master's about the phaeton, and a landaulet, which he wanted to hire fur a week or tun, on a job, after it had been altered. Witness told defendant that the terms tar the landaulet were twenty guineas fur one month, eighteen guineas for two months, and so on. The defendant's crest was painted on the panels of the landaulet. independent of other re. I pairs done to it for his use. The expence of these repairs, &c. was about 18 guineas. I)n Sunday thew received a note from Mr. Day rell, in which he said he had that day seen a Luidattlet which he liked better, and which he could have for 81. a month, but he had no objection to make Mr. Jones a compensation for the expence be bad been put tn. The two carriages are now m the plaintiff's, and he has written by his attorney to Mr. Dayrell, to take them away, which he hen not dune. Oa his cross-examination by Mr. Sergeant M'tt.rm, the witness said he believed that the phaeton was finished in two months. but he could not swear that it was completed in four or five. The building of it was discontinued by the defendant's dirre tions, and afterwards resumed. The witness never heard that the bargain between the parties was that Mr. Jones should build a phaeton accenting to the plan in the drawing as a speculation, and that the defendant was to be at liberty to take it or not when it was finished. In the item of IS guineas for repairing the lsadaulct, every thing was included that bad been done to it, new boot, drag chain, &c. All the alteration*, excepting the crest, would improve the carriage. Stow, Jones's herald painter, proved having painted Mr. Dayrell'a crest on the landattlet ; but in his cross-csamination be said he could not swear that Mr. Dayrell gave the order for it. Mr. Sergeant Wit.cv. fur the defence, admi.ted that the plaih tilt had a right to recover the 255.. arid a reasonable compensation for his trouble in altering the landatilct. Ile denied, however, that his client had finally determined either to purchase the phaeton or hire the lantlaulet. The Jury found a verdict for the defendant as to the price of the phaeton, and for the plaintiff as to the acd fog alterations in the laudauks. Du ett.two.—lt seems that a Captain of brigade of ar tillery, belonging to the colonial militia of Antigua,haa re cently fought a duel with a private in the same corps, who had challenged him on account of his having been Presi dent of a Court Martial, under the lusitence of which the private was smarting. In consequence of this the Captain- General has issued general orders, in which he comments on the tend, ncy of such conduct to the total subversion of all discipline, and proposes to the whole of the officers of the colonial militia to enter into a joint resolution.

MURDERS. Sunday evening, about half-past nine o'clock. Jamb Wilkins, abotit 50 years of age, ostler at the Blucket Norton St. Philip, Somersetshire, was murdered abott half way up the bill, beyond the Fox public-boulle, at Midford. Monday a young man, named James Reykolds alias Walters, was brought before Edmund Andel**, Esq., and the examination of witnesses lasted until neatly eleven o'clock at night. The watch of the deceased VIM found upon him ; and when Mr. George Goldstone, tk/ surgeon, who examined the body, p ro d u c e d some em aß portions of the bone of the fractured skull of the deemed, the agitation of the prisoner was remarkable. Reynolds has been tried twice already—for horse-stealing, and fot stealing apparel. Ile is not yet nineteen years old. An inquest has been held on the body, and the verdict being " Wilful Murder against Reynolds," he is committed for trial. Ent si au itc U , Ju LY M.—Yesterday morning, about three o'clock, an old man, a porter, fell over a window, lye stories high, in Jackson's-close, II igh-street, and was killed upon the spot. As several persons had been drinking and quarrelling in the house during the night, and immediate,. before the fatal catastrrphe happened, a man named Sem ple, his wife, and the daughter of the old man who was killed, have .ieen apprehended, on ruspicion of their being instrumental in the man's death, he having probably fallen or been knocked over the window during a squabble. In qur paper of Wednesday, we gave a report of the trial at the Clare Assizes, of litmora Concannon, for the nateder of a poor beggar, named Iliggine. We have since learned, that after the awful sentence of the law was passed upon her, she still persisted in protesting her innocL nee, and continued to do so until a few seconds before she was launched Into eternity, when she admitted being concerned in the murder, but refused to say whether she bad any accomplice or not Nothing could equal the resistance ahe gave the execu tioner, she kicked him and bit his hands several tildes, mod appeared to be in a perfect state of ikensy when knight to the drop, which was done by - force. DROGHEDA, JULY 31.—We have heard that a treitibla murder was committed on Friday, near Dundalk, on a servant of Mr. Henry, of Ratheskiii, who was employed to serve notices on tenants to pay their rents. It appal», from the marks on the head And face, this foal deed was perpetrated by the prongs of a pitchfork and other (WM!' instruments. We expect the evidence given at the inquest, which was held by George Forster, Esq.—Carlow Paper. A man named Conyngham was murdered by Thomas Kearney, in Mr. Scully's plantations, at Silverfort, near Killenatde, County Tipperary, on Thursday.—Linteeisk Parer. DISTRE.YS!NG qOCCURRENCE. A most melancholy accident (says the Initehavea Ga zette) happened here on Wednesday morning last. James Cardew, son of J. Cardew, F,sq. Collector of Excise, and Mr. William Muncastcr, grocer, were bathing behind the North Wall, about seven o'clock in the morning, and having got beyond their depth, Mr. Cardew was unfortu nately drowned. Mr. M. and the unfbetunate sufferer went out together from the rocks below the William Pitt, just at the time of low water. and the tide was ttnnsally far out ; and it appears they had proceeded some distance northwards along a sand bank that runs In that direction ; they had been out about a quarter of an hour, when they attempted to return, but instead e retracing their steps, they took a direct course for the shore, end had not gone far . before they came into deep water. The deceased, who was first, cried he was getting bevOnd his depth. Mr. Muncaster immediately made towards him, to tender him assistance. They hail hold of each ether for some time, and both were in danger of meeting a watery grave ; but in the struggle, Mr. Cardew, probably through weelness, lost hold of his friend, and the waters closed above him for ever. Mr. M. with great difficulty reached the shore, much exhausted, and the alarm was soon spread. Unfor tunately there was no one on the beach who could render any assistance ; the revenue boat, indeed, soon reached the place, but being unprovided with drags, the men were un successful in t.leir search and retired. Some delay took place before other boats could be sent out--sotne sailors, with more of worldly wisdom than humanity in their dis position (a fault by no means characteristic of this clam of persons, and confined, we hope. to the two or three un feeling fellows to whom we allude) refusing tithes to lend their assistance, or allow the boats the had charge of to go out, until assured of being paid. Three or four boats were at length put off, and with the assistance of the revenue beat, under the direction of Mr. Paisley and some other officers of excise, every exertion *As made, by cast ing nets, &c. to recover the body, but we are sorry so ray without effect: nor, up to this day (Monday), have any tidings been heard of it. The unfortunate deceased was lre the 19th year of his age, and was very generally beloved amongst his acquaintance, as was fully evinced by the in terest and anxiety shown by a number of young men for the recovery of the body. One peculiar feature in this melancholy affair we cannot omit mentioning: there were two of Mr. Cardew's sisters, with two other young ladies about to bathe not far from the place where their unfor tunate brother toe: his untimely end; and the agony cf their feeling s on learning his fate may be better conceived than descried: one of them would have rushed into the water to attempt his rescue, had she not been restrained by her companions. Mr. Cardew's father was from In me tit the time, and when it is considered that the deceased was the only son of a family of eight children, we can scarcely conceive a more distressing case than the loss of this in teresting and promising youth. We trust this afflicting case will be a caution to persons bathing, especially those who cannot swim, not to venture out at low water, as the ground is then perfectly unknown to them. The boatmen who were searching for the body state, that there is from 3 to 4 feet greater depth of water between the bind: where these young men had bathed, and the shore. Ti.e only safe method for those who are learning to swim is to wade right out as far as they find it convenient, and then. swim direct in shore. The advancing tide always renders it 4:su p-mutt to remain long at a distance from shore. DISTRESSING MISTAKE. On Saturday an action was committed of such egrgious folly, that one would think it would not be fleet :wary to record its tragical results to prevent a repetition of it in future. This, however, is the second instance of the same kind that has happened within these two months. About five weeks ago, a girl found in the ruins of an old house a whitish powder, in a piece of paper, and car ried it home to her mother. The mother at first thought it starch, and intended to use it as such. She afte , rwatds determined that it should be held as cream of tartar; and thinking the family needed physic, on Saturday mornine, she dissolved it as such in water, and sweetened it with sugar, taking some of it herself, and distributing the re mainder among three of her children. The whole four in a few minutes began to complain of intolerable heat in the stomach, and had continual vomiting. Medical aid was instantly afforded them, but about two o'clock a girl cf fifteen years of age died ; and a chili three years of al.: died on Sunday morning. The mother is in a very bad state, but is likely to recover; the other child is out of danger. (In Saturday night an order was issued from a Magis trate to inspect the body of the girl, who had died on Saturday, that it might be ascertained what was the dele terious substance. This, when intimated to the father, enraged him to the highest pitch of frenzy, and he threat cued, with the imprecations of his country (Ireland), death and destruction to the medical gentlemen to whin the inspection was conflated. On Sunday morning the Su perintendent of Police repaired to the house, when the father still showed his determination to resist the autho rity of the Magistrate, and began to use vitd_cie,r to the police officers. lie was carried to the office in a state of lure, and is still there. The inspection went on qaictly, and it was found that the substance taken was arsenic. The woman had kept the powder in her pocket all the. while, and part of it was found there, which whey eaa amined in the usual way. was found to be the sanse chemi cal substance.--Gleagole Herald.
