An application has beets mod, to the Judge, to know the Jay Ins Lordship would commence taking ibis canoe ; and it is understood that it will not come on before Thursday next. The following is a copy of the indictment :- 4, That George F.dmonds, Charles Maiblocks, John Cart. wright, Thomas Jonathan Wooly's, and William G. Lewis, bring malicious, seditious, &c. persons, and unlawfully in tending to raise and excite discontent and disaffection in the minds of the subjects of the King, and to snore the subject.. of this realm to hatred and contempt for the Government and Couoitution of this realm, &c. on the 12th of Aliquot, 1819, with force of arms, &c. at Birmingham, &c. unlawfully, maliciously. and Ile ditipusly combine, conspire, and confederate with each other, and with divers other disaffected persons, &c. to bring the Government, Sec. into hatred nod cos tempt, as by law established, and of the Commons House of Parliament, as by law established, and :unlawfully to nominate, elect, and appoint, and came to procure' to be unlawfully nominated, elected, ausl appointed, a pre ens to he the representative of the inhabitant■ of Bir mingham, and to claim admission as steels represents- tire sato the said COT MOUS House of Parliament, as a member thereof, neither they, the said G. Edmonds, &c. nail the other cuaspiratura, being then and there in any manner I lawfully authorised to nominate, elect, or appoint such repress. sedative as aforesaid. And that the said Defendants, in por• simnel , of ibe said unlawful combination, &r. did on the 12th of July, &c. unlawfully meet, with divers others, Sec. to wit, in a certain place, &e. to the number of 20,000 and lip. wards, for the purpose of hearing divers scandalous, sedi tious, and inflatrunstory speeches, resolutions, and writ ings, of and coneerning the government and constitution of the Commons House of Parliament, acc. published and read to the said subjects." This evidence was corroborated by other wit nesses, and the Prisoner being asked what he had to say in his defence, replied, " Nothing at all." The .lory returned a verdict of (huh,/ ; and the Jupac ou Monday morning passed sentence of death upon the Prisoner, strongly intimating that the sentence would be carried into effect. The Prisoner, on being removed from the bar, pathetically exclaimed—" My Lord. 1 heg for mercy, for my poor wife', sake and my three little children; for their sake, my Lord, spare niv life." Juonit—" You see, Prisoner. the dreadful state into which you have plunged your family by your wicked deed, but pity to them ought not to pre. vent The execution of the law, and 1 most earnestly entreat you to prepare for that awful fate which, in all,horaan probability awaits you. The Prisoner repeated, in a still more desponding tone, something about his poor wife. It perhaps may be only an act of justice to state, that notwith• standing this most dreadful act of cruelty towards the Prosecutor, the writer of this report had an op.. portunity of observing the Prisoner's conduct in the Court-house at Wakehild, and he was much struck by the extraordinary tenderness which the wretched man displayed towards his wife and infant child; he seemed indeed insensible to the peril of his own situation, directing his whole at• tention towards his distressed family.

ItANE PROSECUTIONS. • Sanford Hall, Benialilati Price, and Joseph Rey nolds, were arraigned at the bar, and charged with uttering forged Batik of England Notes. The Prisoners pleaded guilty to the capital offence, upon an understanding wi►h the Prosecutors that they would be transported for life, which sentence was passed upon them. Benjamin Price declared that he had been thirty years a wholesale dealer is forged notes, and never had been detected before. George Skinner, a young ntan, a native of Bir mingham. was indicted for the minor offence of hav ing. unlawful possession of a number of forged Bank of England notes. The Jury, after some consultation, found the Pri soner Gil My. The Judge proceeded to pass sentence upon the Prisoner ; in doing which, lie told him that he had rim a long career of guilt ; and, although he had charged the witnesses with being perjured, yet he (the Prisoner) knew that this had tint been the only time he had appeared before the tribunal of his country to answer to a simtkr charge. Ile well knew, that he had been tried capitally at Nottingham for uttering ftirged notes, and there escaped convic tion, which ought to have deterred him froru that course of guilty conduct which now overwhelmed him in ruin. The Prisoner was sentenced to tran sportation fur .foarttea years. YORKSHIRE'ASSIZE,. ;S. CROWN COURT, SATURDAY, JoLv 22. HIGHWAY RORBF.RY. Joseph Piekersgill slow; charged with robbing Mr. Squire Harnsdeti on the highway, near Wakes field Out-wood, of a pocket bunk and some silver. This was a case attended with circumstances of great cruelty. Mr. Squire jtatioselen stated, that he lives at Wakefield Oat-wood ; had been at the market at Wakefield on Friday, the 5 li of May : lie called at a publec-house in Brag-lane,• kept by a person of the name of Waterhouse; it was about a quarter past ten when he went there, and he remained an hour and a half ; Joseph Packersgill, the Prisoner, came in soon after he got there. Witness asked him to go home with bin as far as their road lay together, which he promised to do; but when the witness got up to go home, the Prisoner excused himself. front going just then. The witness there fore set o il* a lone; wh en be had got about seventy yards he was overtaken by Mary Norton, who was going to work all night in 6,1)4 at which the Pri soner was hackman. After walking with him a short distance she turned another road, and the witness was then alone ; after going on about 100 yards farther, he thought he heard a footstep behind him, and • turning his head to pee what it way, he was knocked down; he fell to the ground, and the person who had knocked him down began to punch him on the head and Lice with his feet ; witness cried ont for help, and the Prisoner then said, 4.4 Wilt thou not give over ?" and he punched hint over the mouth with• his. feet. Witness knew the Voice; it was that of Joseph Pickersgill, the Prisoner. at the bar had known him ems yeire; ha was Weicompa at-a pit is • ifiti . • RAPE. Matthew Hanson, • private in the 84th regi ment, stationed at Halifax, was charged with coms mitring a rape on the person of Mary Buckley, a girl of the age of 14. Though the trial termi nated in the acquittal of the Prisoner. it disclosed a scene of very gross inipeorieloct on his part, and conduct most infamous oil • the part of a female who appeared to have acted es his accomplice. The Prosecutrix, a young girl of the tender age of fourteen, was sent by her mother to a public mangle. at Southfield, Halifix, on Tuesday, the 18th of April last. The mangle was kept in a chamber iii which was a bed. The Prisoner was turning the mangle for a woman of the name - of Betty Edwards, when the Prosecutrix got there. The soldier not appearing to turn the mangle very vigorously, the girl said she thought lie was weak, and wanted some drink.— The soldier made reply, that he could turn the mangle if she was upon it. The Prosecutrix was sitting on the edge of the bed, and the Prisoner quitted the mangle and threw her upon it, but without at that time committing any gross in decorum. The Prosecutrix said she was very angry Bud struck at him, and called him a villaiu, upon which he again threw her upon the bed and effected his purpose. The Prosecutrix said she screamed out as burl as she could for the pressure upon her, hut that Betty Edwards would not afford her any assistance. The Pruiecotrix stated that she communicated what had passed to her mother the following day, but not before she had been inter rogated by her respecting it ; it was her intention to have mentioned it, but she•could not fir shame. Ann Davies, a little girl, ten year. of age, was in the room when this shocking outrage was com mitted ; she confirmed us muds of the stateineut of the last witness. as could be expected froM so young a•child ; but F.tie said that Mary Buckley laughed the first time that she was thrown upon the bed. The second time she cried out " Murder !" She called upon Betty Edwards, who said she would. have nothing to do with .hers The JUDGE thought the levity of the girl upon the first liberty being taken with her, 'night have operated as an enconragement to the Prisoner, but whose conduct was deserving of the severest repre hension; he therefore suggested the propriety of going no further into the case. The Counsel for the prosecution acceded to the suggestion—the Prisoner was ',quitted.. His Lorth.liip said, no language he could use could sußiciently express his detestation at the con duct of Betty Edwards, who was deserving of the severest punishment. His Lordship said it was a case most deserving of being brought. before p Jury, and he should with the greatest pleasure al low the costs Of the prosecution. The parties had bee.. before Colonel Horton, who after hearing the evidence of Betty Edwards, dismissed the cam plaint, and the Prisoner was discharged ; but on a subsequent examination before Michael Stocks, Esq. that Magistrate thought it his duty to cow , mit the Prisoner for trial. ' Isaac. Wright was charged with administering a certain mixture to Ann Redact!, with an intent to procure an abortion of a child; with which she was then.pregnant. Ann Rodwell stated, that she was last summer in the service of Mrs. Heaton, of Ackworth; the Pri soner was her sweetheart. and she became pregnant; upon communicating her situation to hiqb he told her be world get something which would - sake her miscarry l old he gave her metric' bottles. one of which she Wok, but tbq did not produce that • , • . . . MURDER OF HIS WIFE AT BRADFORD. Last week we gave some particulars of the trial of this Prisoner, for the murder of liis wife, which terminated in bit conviction, and he received sen tence of death. winch sentence was to have been carried into effect on Monday last. It may be pro per here to state the effect of the evidence givers upon the trial. The deceased was found lying dead in the kitchen early in the morning of the 27th of June. There were a great many bruises on diffe rent parts of her body, and two wounds on her head, bat none of those bruises or wounds were, in the opinion of the surgeon, the cause of her death, which was prodoced by the rupture of a blood ye.- -sel on the brain, in other words, by apoplexy, either produced by intoxication, or by a fall or blow. It was the decided opinion of the surgeon, that after the effusion of blood had taken place, the deceased could not possibly have come down stairs ; it fol , lowed therefore that the mortal blow or fall must have been received in the kitchen, and it was the inference of the Joey, from the facts !waved, that the Prisoner, having begun to ill-treat his wife up stairs, had followed her into the kitchen, and there had given her the blow which bed produced her death. The facts to support this inference were the fol lowing :—The deceased was heard to cry out 6' Murder !" in her lodging-room, in which there were only herself and her husband : drops of blood were traced all the way from the lodging-room to the kitchen. mid bloody footsteps were visible on the kitchen floor, as if a person with bloody feet had been walking about. To these facts are to be added the brutal exclamation of the Prisoner when the death of his wife was communicated to him. There was also an extreme improbability in the ac. count which Oldfield gave of the matter, as it was barely possible that the wounds and bruises discovered on the person of the deceased could have been occa sioned by any falls however frequent ;and there probe. bly remained no doubt on the mind of any person who 'heard the trial that te had brutally assaulted her in the lodging-room, whether her death blow had been received up stairs or hot. Further than this the wit nesaes did not carry the proof with any degree of cer tainty. Under these circumstances many pentane thought t hat the Jury, in filiding the Prisoner guilty of murder, had come to a hazardous conclusion. and the Judge who tried the Prisoner was nut so fully satisfied in his own mind of the propriety of the verdict as to rest opal the evidence as it was given in Court. hot afterwards examined the witnesses more fully for his own satistiction.-:- The answers he received removed what remaining doubt he had entertained, and upon consulting with Mr. Justice Bayley, it was determined that the execution should take place on Monday morn ing, in pursuance of his sentence; and so lao! as Sunday morning, no doubt existed but that a few hours would terminate the earthly existence of this unhappy man. But in the course of Sun day foreman& a letter was received by Mr. I lardy, one of the Counsel for the Prisoner, front Mr. Sharp, the surgeon, of Bradford, iu which he stated a fact, which furnished a decisive proof that the deceased had not been followed into the kitchen by the Prisoner, cud that consequently the effusion upon the brain hid either been produced by a fall, iu which he had no hand, or by intoxication. We cannot state the nature ui the fact communicated by Mr. Sharp, but it was of such a nature as to induce Mr. Justice Park, to whom this letter had been of course immediately delivered, to sign a reprieve. —This reprieve was communicated to the Prisoner at three o'clock in the afternoon;by the /tee. Wm. Flower, Chaplain to the Castle. The Prisoner who up to this time had- ■a.tained himoeif with a firm ness approaching to obduracy, was not proof against this unexpected change in his prospects; he burst into tears and appeared greatly affected, lie was shortly after removed oat of the 000llemned cell, and is now treated as an ordinary Prisoner.-- (Leeds ilerciry.l ' MONDAY, JULY ZS.
