GOLD B.LNKS. Mr. Hunt, as he passed throu g h Somerset during the election, gave notice, in several of the towns in which he addressed the freeholders, that he was determini - d to set up banks all through the county, for ihe payment of country notes in gold ; and he has so far commenced operations in this way, as to take a house in the town of Glastonbury, where he is Lord of th.! Mance, and to have painted over the door, " Gold Bank." This formidable establishment is directly opposite to a paper-banking house,or, as he calls it, to a rag-house of respectability. And he has stmt. d, that ever since be gave this public notice of his intention, he has experienced the greatest civility from the opposite firm, who had been previously very little disposAl to favour him. At Wincanton, where Mr. Messiter, the Treasurer to the County, has a banking-house, Mr. Hunt paid a visit, and addressed between four and five thousand people upon this amongst other topics. The communieation was re ceived in t he most favourable manlier by the freeholders. He had driven his barouche opposite to the door of the banking-house, in the shade ; and Mr. Messiter and his friends, who felt a little interested in the matter, got into a cart at the other side, upon which the sun Rarer!, for the purpose of hearing the details. Mr. Messiter thought pro per upon the occasion to midterm the inhabitants, and Mr. Hunt first. He expressed a hope that everything of a per sonal nature would be avoided, and that no allusion would be made to the treasury accounts, which might, in such hands, be liable to misrepresentation : and he intimated, that if this hint was tilt taken, he should exercise the power of which he was possessed, to stop the proceedings of the meeting. Mr. HUNT, notwithstanding this menace. which Mr. Messner, iss commander of the yeomanry of dive district, thought proper to make. detailed all the part.culats of the county rates and the trea sury accounts. Afire having addressed the Meeting for a coosi. &table time on the subject, he said he had a piece of hiformstion to give, which he knew wou!il be very agreeable to TWA, of those around. I believe, said he. that you would rather be receiving trove. reigns than dirty rigs of this son (holding up a filthy cluntry bark od's worth of the sweat of his brow—this dirt, old r note). Thi., said he. is all the recompense a poor fellow has had for a rite. Wnt dhe not have been 'niter off if he Lad tea I go 41? (Cries of " Certainly.") Why then is not the precaution is-eil ? Why does any roan amongst you take such humbug stuff in stead of till coin of the realm? Ido not me in ti cast a reflection upon any gentlemen who keep banking-houses. but 1 know that at so precarious a time people would act mull more wisely in pocketing that which never ca^ brininie valueless. than in stilijecting themselves to loss by accepting of iLe nab which has had, until lately. vu , II fatal correoey among them. (Cheers.) Now I have a plan. which I plindze myself to pot into execution. I shall, with the blessii gof tie Lord. set up a bank. fag-house in this town of n, as well as in the oilier towns of the county, for the payment of tie notes of all those j.,ekeys' hovas in gold • so tl at when ',on get any of the " rags," you can came ;o me, and you shall exeive die sovereigns fur them. (Cheers aid laughter.) Mr. Al rtirtrEst—Why they know they can receive sovereigns at this banking-house, whenever hey please to ~end in 'he notes _it is absurd to say that they are displeased with the accom modation. Mr. HONT,..-I krow they can whenever hey choose to send. as you say ; bat which of the dependants up in the pniserful slid dare to send ? How soon and how injuriously may such a liberty be resented ? Alt. MESIIITtIt deried that there ever had be•.n any obj etinn made to any pmpo.ni• nof the kind. h was all the same to the fun whether they paid in specie or in their own notes; and Mr. Hunt might a.nd io ■s mat yas lie could collect, and be am:to t:low ect without a murmur. _ Mr. IkseT—Voti may depend upon it that I shell do so. I be. lien the pet 13W of Somerset kt.ow that I never broke my word with them. (Cries of " Never.") 'dell. as sure as you s a , d there (to .)Ir.

I. this disloyal ? Is tt not lending a hard to (loverniiient, who benignly intend to send the 11. notes gradually out of circulation ? Why, the worlel will imagine that I am an agent fur Goverment!, lem so active in seconding their views. But I have soother good ohject in view—a chantahle ol j ct.

Cmlel any man, who had the power of preventing it, calmly look on without making an etl.rt to avert the evil P Gentlemen, it is i aro:eta:le. lam determined that the e shall be no prejudicial run upon tice hat-king-homers of this muntv, at any rate. The If. notes must be all in witlun two years.

At IVe!la, Mr. Hunt met with some difficulths when he went to address the freeholders; hut to such a veteran and disciplinarian what are ordinary difficulties? Before he reached the town he was told that the Somers- t Inn, where he used to be re ceived with open arms, could not accom• modate him, and that there was a disinclination upon the part of the landlords of the other respectable inns to give him admission. Not at all surprised or hurt at this appearance of hostility, he drove up to the Samcrset Inn : no landlord, no waiter, no hostler, appeared. He jun pal out of his carriage with his friends, and walked into the hall. The landlord then stepped up to him, and civilly assured him that all the rooms were engaged, and princirally by clergymen and magistrat, s. " Oh, very well," said Mr. Hunt, " let us have a table here in this ball; it is ettol and pleasant, and the clergy may keep their rooms. The landlord repeated his apology, awl said that really Mr. Hunt could not he aecammodatril in his house. " Here are sovereigns," said be (pulling out his purse), " I must have the best eating and drinking your house can afford, and I dare you to refuse to accom modate me." The landlord was terrified at the resolute tone and words of the Candidate, and immediately showed him into an excellent room, where every thing he required was served up to him. He then mast for the crier, and . or dered him to hell about the town that he would address the freeholders of the county in the Cathedral-yard, at four o'clock. No sooner was this known to the ccelesiaatieul authorities, than Mr. Hunt was waited upon by a mcs senger,who presented him with a note, containing the com• ',Umtata of the resident Dean and Chapter, and expressing a fervent wish that divine service might not be inter rupted. To this a verbal answer was returned, stating that Mr. Hunt never replied to anonymous correspondents; that he should, however, take care not to interrupt divine service, as he should address the people at a respectful dis tance from the Cathedral, and not at the full pitch of his voice. He was given to understand that he might expect some interference in the Cathedral-yard ; but he was punc tual, and addressed nearly 8,000 people, from the top of the wall opposite to the Dean and Chapter's haus..., for au hour and forty minutes. ____ ---- -- Mr. Egerton Smith, of Liverpool, has proposed a new species or life-preserver for persons going to sea. It consists of a collar of cork, two inches thick, and nieeteen inches in diameter, with a hole in the middle, large enough to let the head pan through. The coil ir lies upon the shoulders, somewhat like a tip. Pd, and is fattened ,o the body by .triage, passing trout bark to front ulster the arms. Its weight two pounds and three quarters.' " This collar," he says, " supported rte, without any exertion on soy part, and with my arms entirely out of the water. A young gentleman also hung upon the in the watt'', and the col lar sustained us both without motion on our parts, either of the hands or feet ; and I hare not a doubt that a collar of similar thickness, and of two feet diameter would keen afloat three per sons. I found I could swim as quick ly, and I thoulht even quicker, with the simple apparatu s t h an w i t h out i t ; nor is * this at all impro bable, as the weight of the hotly being neutralized by the buoyancy of the cork, the whole exertion of the arms is applied to propelling the swimmer forwards. It is also a very great advantage of this collar, that it enables the wearer to lie on his back in the water, and thus shift his position, which, if he wtr.: subject to lung im mersion, would be of great consequence." On Monday evening two carters went into a public house in Broughton-vreet, Edinburgh, anti call.A for sortie whisky, which they drank, and left the house without paying for. The landlord, an inlitm old man, foil wed them to the door, and en d avoured to obtain payment, but the ruffians beat him an umber ciful'y on the head with the handles of their whips, as to lay Mtn prostate in the passage in a state of insensibility, and then made off: There being no other person in the house, the old man lay a considtrab:e time in that state, bleeding profusely, until some per son accidentally entered, who gave the alarm, and medical aid was trocured, but the poor man is not yet considered out of danger.

This wax an action brought to recover compensation in damages for an iojurr done to a horse by hard driving. Mr. CARTER (with whom was Mr. WittoitT) stated the case. The plaintiff is n grocer, ft:l4'lllg in iVinchester, and the owner of a . pony, which he uses in his business, and sometimes lets out on hire. The defendant is an atowney's Clerk. and in the month of January last hir,d the plaintiffs pony, alleging that lie was going to Andover, and would be absent for two days. Instead of going to Andover. however, tire defendant rode to Salisbury, nearly double the distaoce, and returned the horse in such a state, that he was unlit for service for a frill month •ifterwards; besides which. he was ma erially injured in value. Under these circumstances, he submitted the plaintiff was entitled to o.oinges. The principal witness in support of the case was John Divan, a veterinary surgeon, to whom the horse was sent when the defen dant tem.. ed hon. Ile described the animal as having all the Bp p-seance of having been excessively driven. Ile considered abut .he horse would never he a- cool agsin. and that hi. value was reduced from 13/. to 11/. Ills bill for attendance on the pony amoun . e . l to U. I Is., and for • month after Flight returned bins he wa• totally unfit fin work. Mr. C. F. WI I. LIAIIS conducted the defendant's ease. Re ad mitted that his client rode the pony to Salisbury, but he had !dm: the animal 'or tor, days. and conceived himself at liberty to ode hint where he pleased - . If he loci treated him ill, or worked !t int excessively, the plaintiff WWI certainly entitled to dam rg.. ; but he contended that the horse had rot been treated improperly. that he was not overworked, and that he sustained no other injury but *deb as the pbtin,ilrmight hare expected when lie lent out his horse fur 11,-e. To support the defendant's case, Edward Vandenlinof was ex emir e', and stated that he rode in company with the defendant fo.n Salisbury to Winchester. The die ance 11014 twenty-four m lee. They left Salisbury at three o'clek, and arrived in Win chester at rig ;t, having rested an hour and a half at Si.ockbridge. We net. rode a h o rse which wax his own property. They rode sometimes quick, and sometimes slow, but he did not chink tie pony was irtmiperately driven, or that he was treated improperly. lie went freely, and did not a ipear much distressed. Cross-examined—Winless had said that he anti Flight came at a brisk rate, and that the pnay would not be worth live pounds after h j iurney; but this was only In joke to Goold, the plaintiff's broth. r The journey occupied three hours and a half. Jo' n Aloulden, a veterinary surgeon, stated his opinion, that a pony that was good for much could not be seriously injured by being role twenty-four mails in three hours and a half, being alloyed one hour and a h Nor rest. Mr. Jastire UASELEE said th•lt if the defendant was well ad vised, or caniulud his own interest, he would never have allowed this action to come into your. His conduct in engaging the horse to go to Andover, and afterwards taking him to Salisbury, was not at all ;n h a and confessedly entitled the plaintiff to damages. The arriount, however, was a question which he would lea, • to the Jury to settle. Verdict fax ;he plaintiff—Haulages 61. DiUGWELL V. FLEMING, 31.1... s s Thug was an ammo to recover WOG alleged to be due for work and labour done. The plaintiff" is a miller, the defendant one of the Knights of the Shire Tor Hants. The former oecupitd some mills in t. e parish of Southwick, of which the latter was the owner, and these mills having been accidentally destroyed by fire„the Flaintiff entered into a contract with defendant to rebiiiid them. rom this transaction the present action arose, the plaintiff claiming the abore-named sum over the amount specified in the contract, upon the around drat whilst the contract was being executed the defendant's agent dirveted certain alterations to be made in the buildings, not contemplated by the original agreement. The de. Tendon!, it appeared, had no design to bind the plaintiff to the precise terms of this contract, bur conceived that lie had already been fully paid. Such was the case, as stated for the plaintiff ; but before his Counsel proceeded to examine witnesses, an arrange. *sear took place between the parties, and a Juror was withdrawn. OXFORD CIRCUIT. OXFORD, JULY 7. TRY KIWO Y. ETWRD . The following Jury wrre sworn for the trial of the prisorer : William Boddington, John Holloway, Edward Beasley, Joseph Payne, Rocket,, John Penson, Henry Crook, Thomas Stevens, William Cuter, John Saul, John Playas Gatalleld, John Johnson. MT. CAR IMAGIT 0 g opened the indictment and the charge upon the Coroner's Inquest. Mr. Conwooto stated the case to the Jury nearly in the manner foilnwing May it please your Lordship—Gentlemen of the Jury—lt is my melancholy teak to detail to you the circumstances which have led to the charge now preferred against the prisoner at the bar. He stands charged, Gentlemen, with the commission of a crime, which, not only by the 'laws of England, hut by the laws of every other civilised country. is ranked as the deepest and the blackest in the catakgue of human offences. It is a crime, which, by the law of God, delicate] in thunder from Mount Sinni, Is considered the foulest in the Deralogue ; and. It is a crime respecting which the Almighty himself has said—• Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man ..hall his blood be shad !' Therefore, when a man is charged with a crime so serious to society and An awful to himself, it be. cones your imperious duty to attend to every possible circumstance in the case, in order that you may not deliver him over to the pu. nisliment and to the infamy attendant upon such a crime, without the fullest and the most complete satisfaction of his guilt. Gentlemen; I dare ray you full sell' know what constitutes the crime of murder, as contra-distinguished from the less heinous ceenee of homicide. The very sum and substance of the crime consists in inflicting death upon a fellow creature with malice aforethought. But it need not he proved that there was express malice against the individual who has suffered by the hands of the assailant. Malice, by the law of Ergland„ as it has been defined by a most learned Judge, exists when a man has been proved to have acted under dictates of the human heart, which chew that it was regardless of its usual and proper duties. You wili therefore have to consider whether the prisoner fins acted in a manner which justifies you in a conclusion that he has acted wilfully and ma liciously when he deprived a fellow-being of life. That he had no malice individually against the youth who has suffered by his vio lence, lam free to whet,. I verily believe, from what I know of the case, disclosed to me in my instructions, that he used acts of kindness and effectionate regard towards the deceased, his mother, and his family, which completely remove from the human mind any idea that he could have harboured individual malice against Thomas Maley ; but it occurs to me that he is a person who acts, 1 will not say tinder the influence of an atrocious, but certainly of an ungovernable temper. Therefore you must look to see whether any thing had transpired on the present melancholy occasion, which could have provoked a violent and an irascible man to the perpe- tration of a deed for which he is, no doubt, now sorry. The cir cumetsnees of the case, Gentlemen, are few and simple. The pri soner lived at Ensham, in this county. On the evening of the day in question, lie thought proper to retire to bed somewhat earlier than usual. It seems his daughters were , out on that evening, and I presume he was not very well pleased with THE BRITISH PRESS: their absence. Ile took the keys of his door up with him into his heti-room, and nobody was with him in that bed room but his wife and himself. From the circtimstance of a cry of " Murtha. I" being raised, It is fairly to be presumed that ha and his wife had some quarrel. She celled out, particularly to the de ceased, and told him to come into the house, or elite she should be murdered. The prisoner at the bar, at that time, had not the ktys of his door, and it should seem that his wife bad locked him into his room. The wife of the prisoner let in the deceased young matt by a window, and when he entered, it seems, he took off the luck of the back door, and let in the daughters of the deceased by that means. By that time the prisoner had broken nut of his room, and coming down stairs, struck a woman whom I shall call a violent blow. The deceased, and other young men with him, wrenched the stick by which this blow was inflicted from the prisoner; and after that, tidiest the prisoner appeared to be somewhat tranquillized; they were about to depart; hut one of the daughters requested they would remain, " for frar," as she expressed it, "of another row. ' They bad come out of the kitchen into the passage at that time. Be.' tween the kitchen and the passage there is a dour, which is only hree-quarters of an inch thick. The deceased opened that door sod looked iti. Ile saw the prisoner sitting in the cornet of the kitchen, and saw him also instantly rise. A gun was over his head. He saw him making an effort to reach it, and he instantly closed the door. The prisoner almost directly fired through the door, and the deceased fell dead upon the spot. It is not for me to detail the expressions he used at the moment, be cause they will come best from the witnessea ; but lie used such as clearly evinced that he had mischief in view. In doing my duty upon the present occasion, I can have no earthly object but to act honestly and humanely. It; under the dire( tion of his Lordship, you can fairly and justly pronounce him not guilty of the crime attributed to him by this indictment, there is no individual in Court who will feel more gratification than I shall. There are, I must state, other expressions used b , him after the fatal event, witich by no means anew a remorse of mind, or any contrition fur the fatal act. These, however, I shall also leave to be detailed by the witnesses, and I am sure that by your verdict you will do that juicier whiet will satisfy not only your own consciences, but the laws of your country. Charlotte Saadi was the first witness called. She lives at En sham; on the tight of the 17th of April last saw the deceased (Thomas Maley), Richard Desist, Richard Cox, Joha Cox. and several other persons; heard .Ire. Arnatt, the wife of the prisoner, cry out " Murder 1" in a loud voice ; she said, "r Pray some of you conic in, or I sleisl be murdered to-tight ; pray Thomas Maley come in, or I shall be murdered." Arnatt was up stairs at that time; Maley went a little nearer to the house; he then got over the pales, and took the key trim llrs. Arnatt to open the door of the little olden belonging to Mr. Arnatt; Maley unlocked the gate, and went mm the house by the window; :Mrs. Arnatt pushed up the window, having a candle in her hand. Cross-examined—lt was rather dark ; several persons were in the street, chi fly men ; they did not make a noise ; she did not hear Arnett called names by any one, nor did they laugh at him; Arnett was tip stairs, and came to the window and said he was locked in, and if they (lid not come anti open the door he would jump out af the window ; no one called Arnett " Teddy," or any other nicknames. 111 are Ann Smith, sister of the former witness, corroborated ha evidence. Hannah, the wife of James Harpur, of Ensham, remembers that on the night in question, Ann, the daughter of the prisoner, came to her and asked her to go to his house; she went there, and found I Mrs. Arran a•.d Mary and Elizabeth, her daughters. In a few minutes Arnatt came down stairs, took a large stick, and struck I witness violently. Mary Amen ran out, aid called in the young I men, John Cox. Thomas Maley, end Dial. Da ; they entered, and took the stick from him ; he gave the stick up to them ; ap• peered to give it up quietly. Arnatt was then sitting down in is chair; the young men then went out of the kitchen ; Arnett desired the young men not to leave the house, for fear of another row. The witness thinks Arnatt beard what his wife said. The young men continued in the passage. Going in at the front doer, ttie passage is straight on passing the kitchen. (Mr. Wyatt, of this city, was queeioned by the Judge respecting the situation of the premises.) The young men were not out of sight in the pas sage; witness remained in the kitchen. After the young men had been out a few minutes, witness heard a whispering from the pas sage ; looked round ; did not see them ; there was only a email candle; don't know whether Arnett could see them; he was sitting in his chair, apparently e.ltn, but suddenly started up, and took down a ettn. which hung on a beam in the house ; he said, " D—n your eyes, I'll shoot you !" and then advanced towards a deal door, between t •e passage and the kitchen ; he put the muzzle of the gun close to the door, and almost instantly discharged it ; had got the gun in his right hand only at the time he fired ; did not see it put to his shoulder; it appeared to be a light gun. Prisoner !a often troubled with the gout ; the door was closed ; the whole charge went through the door ; when this happened there were only I and Mary Rickeon present; he sat in his chair. with his gun in hiss hand, and said. " his eyes, he had done for them." Cross-exatninetl—Mary Iti,kson was in the kitchen at the time, and she tried to prevent the gun from being taken down from the beam t there was not the least struggle between the witness and the prisoner. There was not a struggle with the prisoner anti Mary Rickeon aster lie had taken the gun from the beam ; she put out her hand against the gun. and was quite certain that Mary Rickiton did not lay hold of his arm. Witness went into the house, when lie was lucked in his room. Did not hear any one laugh or sneer at him. Never heard him called Old Teddy. Ile was ill at times with the gout, and very irri:able. Did not know exactly where the you• g men were, when they went into the passage. Heard a whir pert g. It atipeared 'o come front the passage. Mare, the wife of William Itickson, a labourer, residing at En sham, was next called, and said, that on the evening of Monday, A prill7, she heard a noise in the prisoner's house. Went in at the feint gates, and proceeded round to the kitchen. John Cox anti the derga-ed were wresting a stick from the prisoner. She caught hold of his coat and set hint in his chair. She desired die youne men to go out. IVe were all well known to each other. Dot 't know where they went to when they went out. Wiped the sweat off Arnan's face, and told him to be quiet. The daughters were out of dents. Nu sooner did she (the witness) go away from him, than he took down the gun. She baffled his hand to prevent hint from getting It down. Whilst he was getting it down, he said, s• 1)--.1 their eyes! I will make them fly.' The young men were gone out; the prisoner went towards the door ; he was doing some thing to the gun, but witness did not know what. He was doing something to the lock, and looking towards it. Both hands were on the lock of the gun. Witness said, "Arnatt, don't shoot." She was then behind him, and close to him. When he fixed the gun fur firing, she caught hold of the colar of his cost behind. Did not rut him hack. Was afraid he would turn round and shoot. Did not touch his arm when the gun went off'. The gun went off immediately. Knew site was sate. When the gun was' fired she opened the door, and saw Thomas :tlaley falling to the ground. Caught his bead in her arms. Said to Arnett, who had gone into the kitchen, " You have shot poor Thomas Maley." A tient came and looked at him. She said, " lie's dead enough." Prisoner said, " Ah ! d—n them, they have no business on my premises: I have slug hint now to my heart's content." Crostwexamineel—Knew Arnatt well, could pacify him sooner titan any other preset ; he is a passionate man at times ; is a man of good actions. When she wiped the sweat off hie face, he ap peared to be in great agony. Tried to prevent him with her hand from getting the gun. The gun went off immediately. When the gun went off, his face was nearly in a line with t_r face; it nearly touched her face; his eyes were not towards the door; when the gun went off' he did not see the door. John Cox went into the prisoner's kitchen on the evening of the 17th April last, followed by deceased ; saw Arnatt heating Mary [lemur with a stick. They took the stick away from him; he gave the stick into witness's hand, who hid it behind the door Arrintt sat down in a chair. Witness, deceased, and Richard Davis, stood by a little time. Mrs. Rickson requested them to leave the house; they went out of the kitchen into the farther end of the passage, opposite to the bakehouse door ; stood close to the passage door; witness s back MRS close to the door-post; there was a little confusion in the kitchen; deceased went forward, partly pushed the door cm; witness saw a light from the crevice: saw deceased look round the door, and then drew back; witness dial not go to the door till after the gun was fired; the gun was tired immediately after Maley looked into the room, and he fell dead immediately. Cross-examined—When he ( !witness) first went into the room, Arnatt was in a very violent pastel) ; the perspiration was flowing from him ; never heard any one call him names. Richard Davis—On the evening of the 17th of April last, fol. loved Maley and Cox into Arnatt's house; caught Arnett by the arm ; Ararat was standing up in the house, and began damning their eyes when they went in ; was present when thestick was taken front hint. Davis then corroborated the evidence with regard to the death of Maley. Mr. tVelchman, a surgeon of Ensham, proved that the death of Maley was occasioned by a gun-shot wound; he took several shots front the body of the deceased. , This finished the case for the prosecution. The prisoner put in a written defence. By direction of the Judge it was handed over to his Coursed, Mr. Sergeant PEAKE, and Mr. Rtrrestet., who perused it attentively for some time, when they severally addressed the Judge, and stated that it contained so much extraneous matter totally unconnected with the subject at issue, that they could not recettunend the prisoner to have it read. It contained the history of his life. Jonathan Ford (the floe witness for the defence) reside.' at Ensham. Is a neighbour of the prisoner. The prisoner is a small farmer and mahster ; he has been acquainted with him since they were boys. Malev's family and the prisoner's were intimate. Prisoner was very kind io Maley's family; paid the same respect to the deceived as to the rest of the family. Prisoner is kind and benevolent, not only to his friends, but also to his neighbours ; is sure he would not de liberately deprive a fellow-creature of life ; he is hasty in temper, but does not bear malice; he is a good-natured man to all his neighbours. Witness always considered him a good-natured man; he MRS always ready to do good. William rending was a grocer at Ensham, but now retired from business. 11'ns in company with Arnett, on the evening of the murder, at the public-house near the bridge ; had been fishing with him. Saw John Maley at the public-house ; he is brother to the deceased. Heard prisoner express much concern for MN. elalev's water being fished ' • he 'aid he relented Mrs. Maley's family. John Maley was drinking with prisoner at the p ublic-house fo r an lemr. %Vent with Arnett to his how, and ha t a bottle of goose berry wine, Prisoner was of a kind disposition, and a good neigh bour; he was not of a revengeful disposition. Winless had quar relled with him once, and he (the prisoner) forgave him. Thomas Cox, uncle to Maley, has known the prisoner thirty or forty wary. There his been an intimacy between his familyand that of the prisoner. Prisoner was particularly kind to Maley'a family ; occasionally accommodated them with team. Prisoner is a humane kind man and a good neighbour; he is a kind-hearted and affectionate man, and witness really believed of a forgiting temper. Richard Buckingham lives at Ensham. Has known the prisoner twcn'y.six ortwenty-sever: years; has done business with lihn six teen years; his general character is that of a humane and kind man. Al'itness stated that several of his neighbours were present who would any the same. Mr. Justice /117,1110t , 011 then most distinctly read over the whole of the evidente, making remarks, an they properly oc:torett to him. Among his Lordatup'a observations, he said that, it the prisoner, conariona that there were snore persons on the other side of the door, through which he fired. dischaiged his gun • ith malicious propensity, intending to deprive any hotly of life. the case now brought forward was clearly murder ; but it apbearrff that when the hot had been tired, there was no proof that any hotly knew persons were on the other side. The prisoner had !di face diverted front the ttonr throtodi which the shot passed, at the moment the fatal trigger was pulled; and therefore, no predispn. sirion to commit murder was eviiie( 1. The Jury were aw a re of the distinction betwent murder and manslaughter, and of the latref description his Lordship was inclined to think this case was. Should any doubt arise as to the character of the crime, the Jury were bound to pronounce a verdict of marialaughter, and acquit the prisoner of the capital charge. The Jury retired fur ten minutes, and then found a verdict of—. " Guilty of Manslaughter." Mr. Justice Ituttwou on then said that he wished every one to understand the Judges had a power, under a recent Act of radix ment, to sentence any person convicted of manslaughter to trans portation for life. His Lordship did not deem it necessary to send the prisoner lift of the country ; but it was absolutely necessary to pronounce a punishment sufficient to deter future offenders of an governable tempers from the committing of like offences. His Lordship, therefor:;• atenced the prisoner to one year's imprison ment in the county c;aul. SATURDAY JULY 8. CIVIL. SIDE. kOlittßTll;: CIIIAMTION. This was an action of agiumpit, directed by the Lord Chancel lor to be tried at these Assiies. The action was brought to recover 124/. 12s. 34.. being the amount of the produce of the plaintifrs go:ids, sold by auction by the defendant in April hot. The de fendant was an appraiser and eintioneer, and wan only nomin Ally interested. The real defendant in the case was rile. P. Simmons, of Read ng, and the qiiestions for trial were. first, whether then. wan a good petitioning creditor's debt ; and secondly, whether there was an actual act of bankruptcy committed by the plaintiff. The facts of the case were simply these. A person named James Mosey rented a public-house under rile. Simmons, who curied on the business of a brewer. The public-house wan sitoated at Nettlebed in this county, and was called the Red line. Ilissey was desirous of quitting this house in January last, and the plaintiff, who wanted to take the house, harieg been introduced to Mr. Simmons, and approved of by him, it wan agreed between Ilissey and the plaintiff that a valuation should be made of the out-going tenant's property, to be paid for by the plain . iff: This was accord ingly done in the presence of all parties, and before a clerk of Sim oleos's. among others. The amimnt of the appraisement was 3471 towards which the plaintif paidHisseyin cash 1301., and the clerk of 3lr. Simmons wrote nut a cheque (payable If Mr. Simmons alone) for 2171. Iffs. 3d. which wee given to 'limey, and possession of the house and property were thereopertsiven to the plaintiff: The day site: the plaintiff took possession, he well served with a declaration in ejectment by the superioi lend lord of Mr. Simmna. The plaintiff give notice to Mr. SM. mow; that he had been serves with such declsriPil a, and Mr. Simmons promised to defend the action. About the end of February following the Sheriffcante with a writ of posses:flan, and turned the plaintiffout of the house, whereupon the plaintiffattomed tenant to the superior landlord. On the Ist of April the plaintiff left Nettlebed, where he was absent upwards of a fortnight, during which tone Mr. Simmons's clerk called at the house of the plain. tiff. but (lid lint see the plaintiff, and was totd by his wife that she did not know where lie was, or where to write to him. On the 11111 of April the plaintiff's roods were ariverrsed for sale by auction by the defendant on the Ilith and 17th of April. On the second day of the sale 3lr. Simmons gave notice t r the defendant not to pay over the produce of the sale to the plaintiff, nod there upon sued out a commission of bankruptcy against the plaintiff. The Jury found that there was a good petitioning creditor's debt, and a valid act of bankruptcy. LEA V. I. EAKE. These parties arc both — attorneys at — law, in this county, and the action wax for a libel, contained in a letter written by the defendant. When the came watt cilled on. . . Mr. Jenvts, the defendant's C row and shortly observed, that he had long known both plaintifEand defendant, and hail in terested himself to compose the differences that had unfortunately arisen between them, and had succeeded to compromise this action by submitting to a verdict for the plaintiff. Alr. PH ILLIPS, the plaintiff's Counsel, then said, that his client had felt himself called upon to bring this action iton Court, to afford to the defendant as opportunity of justifying, if he could, w'tat he had written ; and that as he had not atte•::pted to do so, and submitted to a verdict against him, the plainttfr was satisfied with this implied negative of the truth to' the lib lions mater, and was content to take nominal damages, his only object having been to clear his character._ Verdict for plaintiff—Damages I. carrying costs. SAIIIN V. STEVENSON. _ The parties in this cause live at or near Hounslow, and it ap. peared that in October, 11124, defendant purchased a horse which was stolen from him very soon afterwards, and that the plaintiff bought a horse the latter end or the same October, and kept it till April last, when defendant having seen the horse, claimed it as his property, and with the assistance of a constable got the horse out of the poviession of the plaintiff. The horse was subsequently de mantled back of the defendant, who refused to return it back to the plaintiff, and therefore this action was brought to recover it ; and the only question in the cause was as to the identity of the hors; whether it belonged to plaintiff or defendant. The horse was proved not to have beon worth W., to have had greasy heels fur some years, to be blind of both eyes, and to be the ugliest animal in the world. There was an extraordinary deal of contra dictory evidence in this CUM', the witnesses on one side contra dicting the testimony of those on the other, in the most positive manner. Verdict for the plaintiff. WILKINS 1) 1111X014. Th;s action was brought to recover damages for a breach of pro mise of marriage, and being a case of no very ordinary nature, ex cited sonic interest, which was increased by a very eloquent speech delivered by Mr. Jervis, on the part of the plaintiff, who, at the time the courtship began, lived with her father, a farmer at Milton, near Burford, and in circumstances in life somewhat similar to her intended husband, the defendant, who resides at lb stone, near Henley. It appears that the parties first saw each other at a friend's house in Stoketichurch, in the year 1819, when de. fondant being pleased with plaintiff, asked permission to pay his addresses to her, which was refused by plaintiff, without the pre vious consent o f parents. Defendant afterwards saw the plain. tiff's father, and obtained permission to visit his daughter, and the courtship was carried on, though not very ardently (as it was proved that a twelvemonth had more than once into evened without the parties writing to or seeing each other) till the latter end of the year 11125, when the defendant married a widow named Mead, having previously promised plaintiff to marry her and no one else. Mr. Talfurd made a very able speech for the defendant, in mid.' gation of damages. Verdict for plaintiff—Damages 501. DOE ON DEMISE OF STONE v. STONE.. This was an action of ejectment, to recover posseisinn of a messuage, cottages, and garden, situate at euddesden in this county. The plaintiff's father being possessed of four cottages, sold two of them to his youngest son, who is plaintiff, whizlt two, however, were taken possession of by the plaintiff's elder brother, who was heir-at-law to his father, who died about a year ago. The conveyance of the two cottages being put in and pawed, a verdict was found fur the plaintiff. RAMSAY V. EA LET. This was an action brought by the plaintiff. the atsignee of Ealey, an insolvent debtor, against the defrnd&nt. who is a brother of the insolvent, who, since his brother's discharge, order the In solvent Act, had received two several sums of money on account of the Insolvent, amounting to 171. which he refused to deliver up, anti therefore it became necessary to compel hint. Verdict for plaintiti--Thimages 171. BAKER V. WAt.KLETT. Thin was an actionCOreco;t4leVenguineas. the balance of an account upon the sale of twelve sheep to the defer dant. for fifteen guineas, in the year 1824. The defence was that the defendant bought the sheep as agent of his mother, and not on his own ac count. But being unable to establish this defence to the satisfac tion of the Jury, they found a verdict for the plaintiff, for the damages in the declaration. PRICE V. SCOBEI.L. This was an action to recover iooli.beinione-fifth part of 1,0331. placed in the hands of the defendant for certain purposes. It ap peared that the plaintiffs father was rector of Ilsley, in Berkshire, and died about twenty years ago, leaving a wife and five children in very distressed circumstances, and that a sum of money was raise.' by subscription for the family, which was placed in the hands rd the defendant, who succeeded to the living of Daley. The plaintiff became of age about four years ago, and has since made repented applications to the defendant for that which he considered his share of the funds in the defendant's hands,ra , sed far the benefit of his family ; but the defendant having put the plaintitrout to school, and having afterwards apprenticed him, did nut oansider the plaintiff entitled to any money from him. It was proved by the plaintiff's witnesses that the money was at the disposal of the defendant, to be applied as he thought proper. AIL Baron Cattitow, in charging the Jury, spoke insyery high terms of the defendant's condact towards the plaintiff' and his brothers, and observed, that had he been the defendant, he should have felt extremely satisfied in having his fatherly behaviour to this unfortunate family brought before the public. The Jury nonsuited the plaintiff: SPECIAL JURY. SLATMAXERy. HAMLET AND OTHERS. This was an action of trespass, the cause of action arising at Stanton St. John, for pulling down the plaintiff's hedge and tks troyng his garden. The defendants were surveyors of the high ways' in that district, and committed the alleged trespass in execu. tion of the duties of their office, under the powers of an Act of the late King, which enabled thesis to remove encroachments upon the highways, of which nature the plaintiff's garden was supposed to be. . . It appeared that the plaintiff occupied a cottage and garden nd• joining the high road in the parish in question, and had lived there upwards of twenty years, aid that during that tune Ida garden ground had increased considerably in width, by nibbling oil the highway in such a manner as not to leave room fur a waggdf to ._ - pass along tit* reel To obviate thin obstruction, the detention. , caused the road to be widened, by cutting down part of the eltta tifl garden. aril thereby the fence tell. It was most distmcdY proved t, the plainiiff's own witnesses, that the portion of land which had been cut away was no part of the plaintiff's origibai freehold, but was appurtenant only to the highway, hating been stolen from time to time. Under throe circumstances, it was cont►ndetl by the defendant* that they were jOstihed in removing an encroachment on the King t highway. Just as Mr. Beton (3attßtf w was going to sum up. the plalntie consented to a mounds, which vat accordingly entered. The Assizes fur this cconty then concluded at about twelvi o'clock this day. NORFOLK CIRCUIT. SEPIFORD ASSIZES. . . , THE WING a. din cirttoodir PAGE TURNER. BART. This was the traverse of an s inguleitian of lunacy, by which Sit Gregory ()shame Palm Turner, the defendant, IVA% found to So it lanat,c in the year 1893, and it now Came on for trial under an or.. der of the Lord Chancellor ' on an application of the threndant to be allowed to disprove his having been of unsound mind at the peritatY the finding itf the inquisition aforesaid. Messrs STORRS. Doyen, and Rosixsorr appeared on behalf of the Committee to stioport the inquisition. Mr. J. Wit.J.iesta came down specially on the part of Sir (X. P. Turner, to suiiport the traverse, and with hint were deserts, Ilawlms and Paorag. When the Jury were sworn, Mr. Sergeant FIRTH. addressed the 'Court, and stated that he and Mr. thinning were of Counsel for the heir at law, Capesier Turner, and he contended that It was his right, in such capacity' to take an active pare in the conduct of the cause. The Logo Cut LE JysltcE desired the order of the Lord Chas.: cellor to he read, by which order it 'treated permission etas given to the heir at law, to " appear at the trial of the traverse ; and The COURT thereupon decided, 'Nit the Counsel of the heir at law having a right to appear, Attl that perruission being of no affect; unless they could take an active part in the trial, it was their right to put questions to the wirnesses, after their examination by the Counsel for the Crown. _ . Mr. Sevens then opened the case. He told the Jury that the. simple Issue which they had to try was, ntethet Sir Gregory Oseorne P. Turner was of tussoitnd mind on the 19th of December, 1823, the time of the finding the inquisitiol of lunacy which pro nounced the defendant to be incapable of self-governmeet, and in competent to marage his property and affairs. lie dwelt at consi derable length, and argued with mash force, on the nature and eharaeter of the malady which afflicted the unfortunate gentleman, who. inheriting as he did, a fortune of FLOW. a year, bad re dile, d !dimwit from affluence and splendor to comparative poverty ; and instead of cultivating that society in which his station and for tune entitled him to mix, had degraded himself to the lowest col. nee lone, and afforded, in his person and habits, a melancholy spec tacle of wretchedness and debasement. He then detailed the facts of the defendant's lunacy which were to be given in evidence. Rehecce JI irella I, the first witness, deposed, that she lived of Battlesden House (Sir fi. P. Turner's test knee). as housekeeper, niece 11121. He generally resided in the house for two years while witness was liege; his abets, reckerchief-, shirts, and towels, were eametantly cut into holes, as if done with scissors : always considered his orders inconsistent ; he would order dinner for a particular time, and when told it was ready, walk out ; often dii not dine till nine or ten o'clock; often kept the victuals that came from his table, before he would let them go into the hall, until they were mouldy ; when he did not consider joints of mess high enough, he would order them to be hung in the fire CPS , nor, to make them higher; would order fires &ern in the nottest weather.

Alter witness had lived with him a considerable time, he turned her out one night at eleven o'clock, sent for her back, and asked her to drink wine: there had been no quarrel. He once struck at witness through a window, and cut his hard. He asked her to tie op his hand, and after she bad done so, struck her attain. Hs once ordered a hem to be boiled, and when it was half-devoted, caused it to be taken up and kept till mouldy, when he sent it back to the butcher. 31ary Budge, a servant at Battlesden. said, that die looked rift's Sir G. P. Turner's body linen. It was constantly cut in small holes. [ Witness produced a number of shirts and shoe's that were so cut."' Sir Gregory meet have cut the holes himself. He would net allow his diem to be mended. He once hit witness e violent How. which confined her to her bed three days. Some time after he followed her along a passage. and liked very much deranged. Sarah Robins, a servant at Battlesden House, corroborated the fanner witnesses, and stated, that she saw Sir Gregory's bed.roont broken open by the sheriff's officers, in 11123; it wanted eleaninp ve.y much. There were several pieties of paper about the room. She last made the bed about three weeks before Sir Green'' , went away. She sat UP writ him one night, at his desire. Ile walked about the room, and looked wild. Ile was wrong in his head. Lady Turner had been these for three motiths together. .ehe never saw Sir Gre gory with her. J. Shivey, gardener nt Battlesden, said that Sir Oremy would make him pull up the flowers and destroy the shrubs. He dressed very shabbily. His beard was very long, and he was dirty.

I From the appeerance of the a tees, she thought Sir Gregory slept in his boots. The room was very dirty in an improper wee. Sit . • Gregory's beard was very long. He caught hold of witness one night and tried to bite her nose. He did not bite it off, but made it very tender. Thomas Paxton depleted, that he had been servant to Sir Gre gory 15 rears, and went with hem to the King's 'tench prison, ix Jely, MO. He was then completely insane. He was only . once altered the whole time, and refused to have clean linen. ( anew described indelicate conduct on the part of Sir Grignry, in the presence of a person named Weir, and witness.) From the King's Bench they went to Baker-street. Lady Tenter. w est there. Sit Gregory slept on a sofa tOr a fortnight, and attempted to jump out at the window. S r George Tuthill was sent for, and they were obliged to put or, a strait waistcoat, and to elm him. They went down atterward% te his scat in the country. On their return, in a gig, he jumped out and ran away with a portmanteau. Coming from Buttlestlen in a gig toe ^ ether some time after, Sir Gregory ' would not puffer the horse to be baited, but came the forty miles through. Oil the road, at Mickley, lie behaved indecently before some females, When they came to Tottenham Court-road, he wanted to go back with the +-ante horse; they went to Baker-street where witness was desired to leave the room, and shortly afro heard a scream; he went into the room with the lady's meld. (The scene described by witness is too disgusting for insertion. , . Sir Gregory would net go to bed during the night, but took a bier-tut off the bed and weneed about the room. lie afterwards escaped from witness and was found at a small pot-house in Tot tenlians Court-road. He gave two men three a 10e note to pry for some porter, a-d then ran sway. They thought it was a forged note, and followed him. The note was a good one. In • 1823, witness being at Bettleetlen, received a letter from Mr. Ma belly, that Sir Gregory's son was dead. with directions to break is to him as easy as he could. Sir Gregory said the doctors had killed the child, and he would have an inquest tin it ; and rent witness lor reetorstive medicines to put into the child's mouth ; and desired that a grating inig!kt be male for the vault, that if the chill came to life again his voice might be heard.

When he was ' leaving his house in ll,ker-street, his room was very offer sive. There were many valuable articles mixed with others worth no. thing. As the watches dropped out he would say, " here's • another, here's another, Tons.' He had about 50 watches and 40 clocks.
