John litny was tried for assaulting, with intent to kill, Lieutenant C'harles Hewes Jay, and a seaman named Williams, both of the Preventive Service. It appeared by the evidence of the prosecutors, that in June, 18'23, Lieutenant Jay, who had the command of the party 3: et tioned at Deal, was visiting the sentinels at one o'clock in the mormr.g, accompanied by Williams, when they were attacked by the prisoner, his brother, and a man named Wells, armed with sticks, who all swore they would murder the prosecutors, and knocked them down repeatedly, and broke Lieut. Jay's sword, which he drew in his defence. . _ The Jury returned a verdict—" Guilty of a violent assault only." The prisoner's brother and Wells had been found guilty of the same offence at a former Assize*. Thomas Coldea, an excise officer, was tried for unlawfully stamp ing seven reams of paper, the property of Alexander Moody, a paper-manufacturer. It appeared that the defendant had been in collusion with Moody, and was in the habit of stamping large quay titles of papa which had not paid the Excise duty. The defendant was found Gui lty. Moody has been heavily fined in the Court of Exchequer. John Mortis, a respectable tradesman, wtis indicted for feloni. ously abusing Alice Gilbert, aged 15, at \ Woolwich, on the 23d December. The defendant had been admitted to bail, and now surrendered to take his trial. a single closet, resisted even the honourable advances of a young man of the rr.ost handsome fortune. and needed to be pressed so it br a respectable rost o mi te ; yet, when once the marriage bad taken place, it was c.ommunitsfed atter dinner in a room in the factory where there was no bed, and the in tercourse carried on in a conveni. ent room of Catharine Mageoch's dram -shop, unless there were Isome green fields around tistehouse which served for the se:ne of their nuptial rites ! Such a story was surely contemptible and ridi culotte. fie declared that the case made out was so miserably weak, that be wished the jury, on looking at it, would stop him , and say It psi unnec essary fur him to enter into the body of on.

Mr. Justice BAYLEY shortly charged the Jury, who, after de. liberating about two minutes, found a verdict for the defendants. It was stated by his Lordship, that this was to be considered subject to a verdict for the plaintiff, if the Judges decided in his favour on the question of law, relative to the effect of the public marriage in legitimatizing the children born before marriage. A special verdict was entered accordingly. a.• F The defence waaconducted by BIr.AMMIEWII and Mr.CHITTY. No Counsel was retained for the, prosecution ; but Mr. PLATT, at the request of Mr. Baron (iRAHAM. examin ed the witnnuff. The proaccutrix, a well-looking girl, just turned 15, stated, that she had been scream in the family of the prisoner, who is s mar. lied man, with one child, carrying on business at Woolwich. On the 23d December, the prisoner's wife went to London, and on that day the prisoner dined from home, leaving the prosecutris alone in the house. Between one and two o'clock oil the following morning the prisoner came home, let himself in with a latch key, and brought a friend with him. At that time the prosecutrix was asleep in a bed assigned to her in the parlour. The prisoner tapped at her door, which was locked, and desired to come in and get a bottle of gin from a cupboard in the room. She struck a light, slipped on some of her clothes, and let him in. As soon as he came in he took a liberty with her person, and after getting the gin bottle he left the room, saying, that when his frieLd went he should come and sleep in her bed. When he quitted she locked , the door. In about ten minutes the prisoner's friend left the house. The prisoner then came to her door, and desired to be let in to replace the gin bottle. After considerable hesitation she let him in, and he pressed her to take a glass of liquor, which she refused. He then insisted upon her going up stairs to his bed. She resisted, but he lugged her up the stain to his room, and locked the door. In spite of her resistance he put her into his bed, and then un dressed himselt. She described what afterwards took place, and swore that he pm his hand on her mouth, to prevent her making a noise. After he went to sleep he detained her in the bed until live o'clock, and then allowed her to qttit the room, telling her to get the key trom his pocket. On her cross-examination, it appeared that she did not make any complaint of what had happened until nearly ten days after wards, and then told her mother; but this was in consequence of finding herself extremely ill.. She had spent Christmas day with her mother, and next day returned to the prisoner's service. She admitted that she had taken a pair of stays and a petticoat belong ! ing to her mistress, because they were better than ha own, but is. tended to return them. After a trial of great length, the Jury found the prisoner—Not Guilty. OXFORD CIRCUIT. GLOUCESTER ASSIZES.--GLoucEsTte, Aron. 2. I CROWN SIDE. Before Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE. John Gibbons was charged with stealing a horse, the property of Edward Hanebet Parker. Mr. TWIS3 stated the case. Isle. Parker said—l live at Tormarton. I had a brown pony, and put it into my field, and on the 4th of August I missed it. I next saw It on the 10th of August, at Trowbridge; it was then in the possession of Mr. Samuel Sardin. lam sure it was the same horse, because of a peculiar mark on his leg. Samuel Sardin said, 1 was at Trowbridge Fair on the sth of August. I saw the prisoner there, standing between three ponies ; I asked who that pony with a long tail belonged to? He said it was his ; 1 said I feared it. was not, but that he was put there to sell it for some one. He said it was his own, for he had boug ht it of farmer Snits, of Wrexhall. He asked eight p ounds for him. I tried him, and agreed to give six guineas for him. I took the pony and the man to the cattle fair, where my brother was, and at the Crown I gave the prisoner three guineas, and left the other in the hands of the landlord, till I sent to File. Scuts; bat the prisoner said, that since I was so dubious of him he would keep the pony, and I should not have him. However, I said as that was the agreement I would have the pony, and he would bring the man he bought it of to the Crown, at Trowbridge, but he never came, and I advertised the pony, and I saw the prosecutor soon after, and he claimed the pony. The prisoner left his defence to his counsel, who called several witnesses to character. Verdict--Goilty; but the Jury recommended the prisoner to mercy. John Stephens Loam was charged with entering the rack ' I ground of Mr. Nathaniel Samuel Marling, in the night, and swil -1 tag from the renters there a • of kerseymere cloth, his property. Mr. C•BRINGTON !It the case. James Clutterbuck vid—l am in the employ of Mr. Marling, and it is my duty to patrol his rack.ground at night. At about ten o'clock on the night in question 1 saw the prisoner pass by the rack-ground. and I ssw him there again at half-past eleven. This excited my suspicion, and at five minutes before twelve o'clock I I missed some kerseymere cloth, which had been cut from the tenter. I immediately went and gave an alarm at the house of the prisoner's master, and went to get assistance ; and on my return a second time to hi. litiallef house 1 found the stolen cloth in a passage ha the house. Robert Evans said, I ant a shoemaker, the prisoner is my ap prentice. On the night on which the last witness wive an alarm at my house the prisoner had gone to bed at hall-past nine o'clock, but in consequence of the alarm being given I looked in his bed, and he was not there, and I went down stain to look for him, and I found him in the kitchen with his clothes on except his shoes and stockings. James Clutterbuck recalled.—l produce the cloth ;it fits the piece left on the tenter The prisoner left his defence to his counsel, who called Robert Latham, the prisoner's father, who said, on the evening when my son was rinunitied, the witness Clutterbuck said that he should have known nothing about the business except that Beard bad told it to him. Mr. Justin LITTLEDALF summed up the evidence. NORTHERN CIRCUIT. YORKSHIRE ASSIZES--YORK, FRIDAY, Aram 1. DOE DEM. BIRTWIIISTLE V. VARDILL. This cause, which involves property to the anouot of 1,2001. or 1,4001. ayear, was tried before a Special Jury. Mr. W ILLIAMS stated the plaintiff's case. This was a cause, he said, of great importance to the parties, from the amount of property involved, and also a nice question of the international law between England and Scotland. If, however, his view of the case was correct, the second question would not come under the consideration of the Jury. The plaintiff, who was probably known to some of the Jurors, was John Birtwhisde, Esq. a young gentle man residing near Skipton, and the defendant was kirs. Vardill, his aunt. The grandfather of the plaintiff had three sons—Wit liam and Robert, who died without issue, and Alexander, the plaintiff's father; and one daughter, the present defendant. 31r. Alexander Itinwhistle, when at the age of T 2, quitted this cuuntry, and because domiciled in Scotland, where he carried on business extensively, held several estates, and lived till 1810, when he died, sad wax brought for burial to Skipton. Mary Purdy, the mother of the plaintiff, was the daughter of an Irish gentleman, who, becoming involved in his circumstances, took his family to Scot land, when his sow wand into the service of 111 r. Alexander Birtwhistle, and became his overlooker. This gentleman, seeing his overlsokeessister,who was a young lady of great beauty, became enamoured of her; and, as she steadily resisted his advances on any dishonorable terms, whilst he did not dare to marry her pub licly, owing to the objections of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Thomas Birtwhistle, who kept his house, and intended to leave him her pro perty, he m mist] Albs Purdy privately. This marriage took place in the presence. of his chief clerk, Denison, and a friend named Thompson. on the 12th Nov. 1095. These witnesses were dead, but Mrs. Birtwhistle would be called, and would state to them the facts. Mrs. Thomas Birtwldatle died in 1803 or 1804, and in 1805 Mr. Alex. 11. publicly married her, and in the deed of marriage it was distinctly asserted that the parties had been "privately and irregularly married on the 12th Nov. 1725." Mrs. B. lived et a separate establishment kept by Mr. 8., and as the mistress of the house. She al ierwarda lived at Balmily, in a style of splendor wholly inconsistent with the idea of her being a mere tnistres. It would be shown that Mr. A. Birtwhistle had stated his marriage to many different persons. Now, if they should even fail in this proof, it was the fact that a subsequent marriage in Scotland. ac cording to the Scotch law. legitimatized children born previous to the marriage ; and if this was the law of Scotland, a child thus legitimatised there would be held legitimate all over the world. He quoted Huber, who lees down the principle that the rights and qualities of persons are held the same in all countries as they arc recognised in their own country. - Evidence was culled to seepert the plaintiff's case. Mr. Serinxes-c believed the question of law in this ease to be, whether a tuan who is the lawful heir to an estate in another country will be heir to estates in England, if should have been born unchir circu instances that would render him a bastard accord ing to the English law. But the question of - fact, with which alone the Jury had to do, was, whether a marriage had taken place p our to 180. He then commented on. the evidence at con siderable length, and contended that the evidence of the pre vious manage was unsupported by any credible tnitimony. 'l'he nrcutrattanoes they were called upon to believe were, that the deughter of an Irish labourer, who could not either read or write, all the mashers of whose family. looked for their subsist. ease, walla fat Wit subsistence, sod who livcl in a ki:chen, with : , • FROM SATURDAY NIGETS GAZETTE.

The Chairman ad- I , if possible, to abstain from drunkenness, and keep out of prison. Her Ladyship requested that the Chairman would forbear making any remarks on her character, for it had really been so naach traduced that she was unable to show her face in Court. George flak, who was convicted in a penalty of 201. for disturb ing the congregation of St. Clement's Church, on the 20th ult., was ordered to be Lrought into Court. CHAIRMAN—Mr. Hale, I have sent for you, not in the ordinary course of business, but merely because it was my firm opinion, as well as that of the Court, at the time you was found guilty by the Jury, that you laboured mule. a mistaken notion as to the un pleasant situation in which you stood ; I therefore have thottght fit, out of humane feelings to you, to send for you to explain the enact position in which you stand. You have been convicted under a certain Act of Parliament in the penalty of 201., for disturbing a religious congregation ; that Act is imperative, and this Court, therefore, has no power to help or to assist you in any way whet ever, either by mitigating the amount of the penalty, or shortening the period of your imprisonment. The truth as, therefore, that you 0;9 be kept in prison till the tine is paid, let that be when it wilL Have you any property, or any means of paying the money? Whatever your individual feelings might have been on the occasion, relative to the piety or impiety of the prayer in question , you had no power to disturb a congregation assembled in church for reli gious purposes, and to call a man like the Hes.

What I did. I did from conscientious motives ; no man has a ilea to pervert Christianity, which Mr. Gurney did in promulgating that prayer. Chairman—l believe you did do it conscientiously ; I believe you were in ea-nest; and for that reason I have sent for you to ask what course you intend to pursue. Have you any means of paying the fine? Mr. Hale—Not that I ant aware of, Sir ; I have no money. Chairman—Then all I can do for you is to advise you to memo rialise the Secretary of State; but you must do it decently, for it is only by • correction of your conduct thatyou can expect any mercy to be shown to _you. Mr. Hale— lf Ido petition, I shall complain of the cruelty of the Act of Parliament that has so oppressed me for stating the truth, sill endeavouring to rescue Christianity. Chairman--Then you may rest assured your petition will be re jecte I. Mr. Hale—lt is a most unjust law to keep one in prison for life, with nothing to lie on but a bed of straw, swarming with filth and vermin, which every reasonable man must acknowledge to be the truth, and tying my hands behind me to prevent my working at my business to help to support my wife and children. It seems I AM to be visited with all the vengeance of the law tot ay political ieelings. To imp'isnn a man for life is the height of injustice and inio.manity, and against Christianity. (Here the unfortunate man she.! tears.) Chairman—l should be happy to swiss you if I possibly could, but I cannot; you must go to the House of Correction. Mr. Hale—May I be allowed to cork to support my unoffend ing cite and family ? The vengeance of the law should not aihact them also. The Chalrinan--Alf I ran say is, that your wife and family de nand that you should petition the proper quarter to rent you your liberty, and that in a becoming decent way, and I have no doubt it will bare the desired effect.

A clerk to Messrs. Todd and Co. proved that he booked the parcel is question to be sent to Sudbury, and that the contents were the property of his employers, and worth about 161.

Saturday an ancient Sybil, with venerably flowing leeks, not un like those of Hamlet's father, " • sable silvevet," was brought be fore the Magistrate of this office, on a charge of dealing in the occ u lt license of fortune-telling." From among the host of complain ants that appeared to give evidence against this beldame. which was generally composed of young maidens, and widows that would be wives again, one was selected to describe the grievance. and a prettier little simpleton spoke-woman could not have been found, even in the happiest days of Arcadian innocence. She gave her name Janet Perry, and described herself as laundry-maid to Squire Cosgrove, of Myrtle Park, near Islington. The prisoner stated that her name was Set sh For, and that she was as innocent as the unborn babe. " That," responded the constable, " remains to be proved." The fair complainant, who seemed to suffer nearly as much as if she had herself been on trial, went on to say, that the prisoner at the bar had lately come to reside at a farmer's house within less than a mile of her (complainant's) master's house, and commenced fortune-telling, and getting husbands for young women who wanted such a thing. For her part she never thought nothing of no such nonsense. only she went just to have her fortune told like others; and when she went, Mrs. Fox told her she would be one day married to her master's son t at first she didn't beliese it not one bi t, but afterwards somehow thryoung master used to take more notice of her than afore, and—the narrater blushed, and a hiatus of some length occurred in the story, which was filled up by an interjection of the constable to this effect:—" Arid this here young woman, your worship, has good reason to remember that notice." The allusion was palpable enough, and the little laundress's cheek re ceived an additional tinge of carmine. When her confusion had sufficiently suosided, she resumed her complaint. In consequence of the promi.es of aggrandisement running in her too credulous ear by the pleasing fort une-teller,she was induced to listen the moreesaily to improper solicitations ; she was seduced from virtue and plunged into vice, and the evidence of her shame becoming too great for concealment, she was obliged to throw up her place, and the young gentleman,instead of marrying her, as Airs. Fox predicted, refer red her to the parish officers, to whom, he said, he would allow a suitable maintenance for the child, when it should be born. This, she confessed, made bee angry, and in revenge on the perfidy of old mother Fox, who was the chief cause of her misfortune, she told the whole story to her late mistress, wbo made it known to the parish officers, by whom the prisoner was taken into custody. For the last twelve months complainant had been giving various sums of money to the prisoner, in all amounting to nearly forty shillings. The Alagistrate said he would allow her one month to make ob servations in that celebrated observatory, the House of Correction. Sumac! Moi lay, a gentleman known to the police, having before figured under the Police act, was charged with having picked the pocket of Mr. William Brown Roberts, a warehouseman, residing at 134, Cheapside. The prosecutor was passing along Chsncery-lane, and felt a tug at his pocket ; he turned round and found his silver snuffbox in the prisoner's hand; the prisoner immediately delivered it up, and being accused of stealing it. he said that be did not steal it, but another person took it and put it into his hand, aml as he wished to behave honourably, he returned it. The Magistrate was not satisfied with the prim:ma's honotrable conduct, and finding that he had before been to.nmitted as a " re puted thief," he now sent him to Newgate to take his trial. i • LA M BETH -STREET. THE JEALOUS WITE.—On Saturday Mrs. Good, • well-look ing comely dame (or, in other words,frt, fair, cad forty), the worthy hostess of the Black Boy, on the tlile-end.road. was brought before their Worships. Sir Daniel Williams and M.Viryatt, Esq., for an assault. She was accused of having committed a most outrageous attack on the person of Sarah Booth, a servant-maid in the family of Mr. Burton, a gentleman residing in the neigh bourhood. The complainant, a diminutive female, possessing no peapanal recommendations whatever, in comparison to those of mine Ildittess, the aggressor, stepped forward, attended by her master, Mr. Burton. She stated, in support of the charge, that on the evening before she was walking out with her master's children, when she was met and attacked in the moat furious manner by Mrs. Good, who she was confident would have done her some grievous bodily harm, had it not been for the kind interference of sonic persons passing by. who saw the manner in which she was oersted. Here Sarah made a halt, and seemed to think she had said sufficient, and so she had to prove the assault ; but the ,Magic. trate* seemed rather curious iu the matter, and said it was very unusual tor persons to commit such breaches of the law without some previous provocation had been given them ; they therefore should very much wish to know if any such provocation had been given to Mrs Good. Mr. Burton, Sarah's master, stepped far word, and relieved their Worships from their anxiety ' • the fact, he said, as he understood the matter, was that Mrs. G.nos, un fortunately, of a very jealous disposition, which, no doubt, had led to the present complaint, as his servant was one of the many other females whom Mrs. G. imagined to be her rivals in the affections of het liege lord. His servant, he said, was in the habit of going for beer for the family's use to the Black Boy, and Mr. Good, Mrs. Good's husband, who is notorious in the neighbourhood for his good humour anal jocularity, would on these oceasimis take harm less liberties with - her, as well as with all the other servant girls, who dealt with him for porter. It would, therefore, seem that these harmless jokes had seriously snroyed Mrs. G.'s peace of mind, who did not scruple to accuse Sarah witt permitting improprieties from Mr. Good. Indeed, her accusations did not only fall on Sarah's purity, but that of all the maid, in the neighbourhood. Mr. Burton further said, that, for'his own part, he ritrily believed the apprehensions of Mrs. G. to be totally unfounded, at least as ne. spected his servant. Mrs. Good, who seemed to struggle very much with her feelings during the above disclosure, said that she untimtunately, in the moment of rage, committe d the assault compla , :ted of ; but she was the injured party; in illustration of which she said that she had, most unluckily for her, about ten years ago, taken Mr. flood for her second husband, and during the greater part of that period her life, though in the midst of affluence. had been rendered most mi. seeable by Mr. G.'s behaviour towards her. She had long sus pected an illicit Intimacy between her husband and the complainant, and, but a few evenings before, her auspicions on the sub act were placed beyond all doubt, for she actually beheld ter husband and Sarah Booth in the back premises, in such a situation as to leave no doubt on her mind of 31r. G.'s inconstancy and the worthless Sarah's guilt. " This your Worship," said Mrs. G., " being more than flesh or blond could bear, and as revenge is sweet, I vowed at the time that I would repay her for her tricks." Mrs. G. went on to state, that when she met her she certainly did inflict a trifling personal chastisement but she hoped some allowance would be made for her outraged feelings. Mr. WYATT expressed his astonishment that a female possess. ing so many personal charms as 3lra. Good did over her accused and supposed rival, should for once suspect her husband of such want of discernment; there certainly was no comparison between their respective attractions. Mrs. Good—Ah, Sir, my charms have been the means of deceiv ing me these many years. My husband appreciate them no more than a strew. In answer to some questions from the 'Magistrate. the complain ant did not deny that Mrs Good had ought her and Mn. Good to gether, but not as described by her—they were only talking to. gether at the time. Mr. Burton here said, that he understood that Mr. Good, from knowing the disposition of his better half, used to affect attentions towards his female customers, to annoy her jealous feelings. Sir D. KILLIAN/1 said, that such conduct on the part of • husband was both unhandsome and unmanly ; but whether the suspicion of Mrs. G. se to his conduct with the complainant was well or ill founded, it was not a justification tor committing the assault, fur which he shoull hold her to tail to answer at tau Sessions. The necessary bail was given, and Mrs. G., with her friends, left the office. MARRIED.

These cases had excited considerable interest, and a Special a'ary bad been struck for the purpose of trying them. Only one was giv.n in charge, but It was agreed between the Counsel and Agents at each side, that whatever verdict was found in the first should be entered in the second, the facts and the witnesses to be VEAURDEL: bring the same. Mr. F. sl`CaitzuT opened the pleadings. It was an action for false imprisonment, and the damages were laid at five hundred pounds. Mr. GEORGE BENNETT stated the case. The plaintiff was the daughter of a fanner of some respectability, a tenant of Mi. IPearthy, son of an eminent Barrister of that name, who practised in this city, but now deceased. The defendant was well known in the county of Cork, in which he was Chief Magistrate of Police. The action was one for what was apparently an act, upon his part, of simple imprisonment; but when the facts were laid before the Jury, it would be for them to decide whether it was of an ordinary character, or one which was to be• satisfied by ordinary damages. They were all aware of the tragical circumstance of the murder of the Franks' family. For this deed of atrocity three men of the name of Cretnen had been convicted and executed, on the evidence of a person of the name of blagner, an informer. It had been the wish of every one to bring the perpetrators of that horrid murder LO light and justice, and Major Carter very creditably exerted him self on the occasion. A man of the name of Sheehan was appre hended, but he escaped, arid renewed efforts were made for the purpose of effecting a discovery. At that time Magner, who had been a servant to the plaintiff's father, and who was on board the convict ship at Cove, in virtue of a conviction under the In atarrection Act, came forward, and volunteered to give evidence against the persons concerned in the murder, admitting that he was himself present at, and aiding in it. On his informations the Cremens were taken up. On the 2d of April, which was the first day of the Spring Assizes in the last year, the Crernens were in Gaol, and to be tried for the murder. On the sth, at twelve o'clock at night, without any intimation whatever, a party of police proceeded to the plaintiff's house, and rapped at the door. Barry inquired who was there, and what they wanted? They re.. plied, the police and admission. The Insurrection Act being in force, the door was immediately opened, and Barry was told that he and his daughters must proceed at that hour for Cork. They inquired, very naturally, fur what? but received no other answer than that they must go. The mother became alarmed at seeing her husband and daughters thus arrested and about to be sent off, she knew not where. But all of no avail, the Police had their instructions, and were inexorable. Accordingly Barry, the father, and the two daughters, were taken at that hour of the night, and obliged to proceed on toot from Ballyduff, where they lived, to Mallow, a distance of between six and seven miles, under whet lie, the Learned Counsel, alleged and would maintain, was an illegal imprisonment by Major Carter. On their arrival at Mallow they were lodged at the house of Sergeant Dag& of the Po lite, where they remained for the night in custody, and on the next morning were put into a covered jingle and sent to Cork, un der an escort of mounted Police. They arrived in this populous city at about ten o'clock in the morning, and were publicly paraded as prisoners, having as their companion in the vehicle a prisoner accused of felony. They were taken at once before Major Carter, examined by him, and the three asked particularly with respect to Magner.On that occasion they told him that he, Magner, had been their servant, and that he was at home, in their house, on the night of the murder of the Franks tinily. The Learned Counsel, after some further remarks on the treatment of his client, said they were, at the. outset, illegally arrested, and subsequently kept in custody for four days, as, atter having been examined by Major Caner, on their arrival in Cork, they were given in charge to the Police, with directions that no persons should have any communi cation with them. The only pretence for their imprisonment was, that it was necessary to detaiu his clients as witnesses against the Cremes. Witnesses were then smiled to prove the arrest and treatment of the Barrys ; anti for the defence a number of witnesses were exa mined, whose evidence went to show the great difficulty of cons peUing persons to appear against prisoners, and negatived the pre. su minion of the defendant having any malice against the plaintiffs. The trial lasted two days ; and the Jury gave a verdict foe the defendant, with costa. EXTRAORDINARY DEATH BY POISON. (From the Afatichealer Guardian.) The township of Chariton How has this week been considerably agitated by a very shocking occurrence--the death of a woman by poison, under eirearnetanties of great peculiarity, and of no incon- siderable mystery, as they at present stand. It appears that some time ago, a man named James Hunt, who had been a soldier, and, we believe, had lived in the neighbourhood of Tiverton, In Devonshire, none to reside in this neighbourhood, and about three months ago took • house in Mansell-street, Chorlton-row. In a very short time afterwards, he brought to the house a woman, whose name we believe is Mary Pinconte. She remained there; and it was quite notorious in the neighbourhood that an illicit connexion subsisted between them, though his wife was at the time also living in the house. We believe 31n.•Hunt made repeated complaints to the neighbours of his conduct, and on one occasion lett die bowie, but was prevailed upon to return to it. She is represented to have been a woman of a very peaceable and ineffeitsive disposition, and, so far as we can learn, was never heard to utter any threats, when she complained of her husband's mis conduct. On Monday last she went out to wash early in the morning, and soon afterwards her husband and the woman with him, having breakfasted, begs& to exhibit very alarming symptoms of illness, on which Mr. Thomley, a surgeon who resides in the neighbourhood, was sent for; and he, from the appearances he observed, immediately suspected that they had taken poison. OD questioning them, they told him that they had breakfasted on some coffee which had been fir.t prepared on Sunday, when the whole family partook of it, and warmed up again on that morning. Mr. Thoruley tasted the coffee, and, from its effect on the palate felt little doubt that it contained some mineral poison; but we believe he did not, at that time, proceed to analyse it. Hunt then told hint that he was not on very good terms with his wife, and he was afraid she had been playing him some trick. He added, that he would ask her to drink some of the coffee when he came home, and if she refused, he would send fur a constable, and have her taken into custody. Owing, prohahly, to copious vomiting—partly spontaneous, and partly produced by the use of emetics—both Hunt and the woman recovered before evening, after suffering severely from the effects of the deleterious substance they had swallowed. Whether anything material took place when the wife returned home, we do not know, but it appears fr en s ubsequent declarations of her husband, that , on the following morning. ht got up before her, poured some water into the coffee left the preceding morning, warmed it on the fire, and, when his wife got up, totted her if she would take some. She said she would, if it was ready ; he then poured cut a cup ; she drank it without hesitation, and then went out to the house if • gentleman in Manchester, which she WAS employed to clean. tihertly after her arrival there, she was seized with a violent pain is the Stomach, and became unable to proceed vtitirlies work. She was therefore sent home in a coach, and Mr. Thornley, the surgeon who attended her husband and Mary Pincome, anti who, we be- lieve, happened to call on his patients about the time when Mrs. , Hunt returned, was idortned by her husband that sbe had takes some of the crate. He saw her, and found her labouring under the symptoms usual in cases of poison ; but she either was, or affected to be, entirely ignorant of the cause of her illness, and re fused to take an emetic, or any other temody. After languishing In groat pain until ten o'clock in the evening, she expired. Her death was immediately meaioned by her husband to the neigh bours, and he stated. without reserve, the circumsu.nces under which he had given her the coffee. Indeed, we have been inform td that he was the person who first communicated the fact of his wife's death to the Coroner, and informed him how it arose. Under these circumstances, of course, the Coroner issued his warrant fur an in. quest ; and the body of the deceased was opened by Mr. Thonaley and Mr. Partington, who found moat unequivoind traces of the re senee of arsenic in the stomach. We believe they also sent a por tion of Its contents to Dr. llenry, who, after subjecting it to the usual tests, fully concurred in their opinion. The inquest on the body was held on Thursday evening last, but no further light was thrown on the subject ; at..l the inquest was adjourned fora week, to give time for the production of additional evidence. On Tuesday last, as a tine little boy. about three sea rs W old, named Charles, san of Mr. Hush Etherton, of or thing, while on a visit to his grandfather, at tsiddlesharn, was eating his dinner, a piece of bread got into his wind pipe in the act of laughing, and before assistaucc could be afforded, the poor little fellow was suffocated.
