TRIAL FOR MURDER AT SXSTRR ASSIZE& Jahn ( Avalon, "one who loved not wisely, but ton well," stood chsrged with the murder of Sarah Chspmati, his wife, at %% t rek, St. NOM., on the 40th of May last. It was a ease of as deep interest as ever was heard in sny Court of Justice, and one in which en 'missend degree of pity and commisera tion was manifested for the unhappy being about to be tried. It appeared that the prisoner had been married to the deceased only mini months, when he had bet too much reason to doubt her fidelity to him. The sequel proved his suspicion to be well founded, as her virt.lahty for other men became in disputable, particularly to a person named William Robinson, with whom she had gone so far as to have the ceremony or a sham marriage performed over a broomstick and a prayer-Gook at o }Wilt-- hurts, on the very morning of the day on which she lost her life. The Prisoner was told bv a person, that his srife was seen walking in afield wet fir off with this mass, and intending only (as he said in • written defence put 11110 the Court) to frighten Robinson. he went fur r guN which lie did not know to be loaded, and which it was sworn to have been clone by a person to whom it belonged, to kill crows in March last. On his overtaking ahem he told the wife to go back, and on her refusing to da so, he lost all recollection of himself, end in a state of misid border log on madness, fired the piece. which was loaded with small shut ; she instantly fell dead. Several witnesses swore to the subsequent agony of his mind. He had been a most kind acid affectionate husband, sod treated his wife in the tenderest manner. The Learned JCDGE charged the Jury on the law of the case, at the heariog of which scarcely AI dry rye was to be seen. Thera were two questions fur the consideration of the Ju►y. Was he (rhe lois son•r) at the time he committed the act, in such a state of mind as to know what he did ? for, if he were, then wan he guilty of murder; fur the c•tn duct of his wife, however bud it might have been, could not justify the act; nor could passion, put in the scale, weigh its his favour. The law presumes a madman to be a person not capable of judging what he said or dud, and io such eases it did not seiount to murder ; but if the Prisoner was at the time in his right reason, sod knew the gun to be loaded, then it amounted to that crime; on the contrary, if he chi not, it would only amount to manslaughter. It was, therefore, fur the Jury to consider this in their minds, ■ud if any doubt existed, the Prisoner would be entitled to that doubt, and he wished Do misunderstanding of the law to go to the public. l'he case was left to them, and the life of the Prisoner depended on their ver dict, which he had tin doubt would be founded on u richt view of the case. ftir Jury consulted for a short time. and brought the unhappy man in Guilty of Aleutslonelier, to the high sitisfaction of every person in Court.

Judge, in the must feeling manner, sen tenced him to one year's imprisonment cud hard labour in the Huuse of Cori-idiom The Beazer sloop of war has arrived from Rio Janeiro with advice. to the ails June.

The bill was found, and he was tried on the 19th, the only evidence against him being, that the net was found in his posses/ion, and that he hod previously denied all knowledge of it. He was convicted, and the Chairman sentenced him to seven years transportation. The severity of the sentence in this case may probably excite ■ feel ing of surprise; but that feeling will be a good deal diminished on learning that Lee was suspec , e.l by the, Magistrate of poaching; and the Chair man actually assigned as a reason for su heavy a punishment, •• that the prisoner opened his house as a rendezvous for poachers." What 3 otion their Staffordshire Worships may have of the relintise enormity of ciiinea, we do not know; but it does appeal to us that seven years transporta tion for taking up ■ net which a man finds in a field, is a disproportionate punishment, even suppos ing the offence to be clearly proved, as in this case it certainly was not. The following paragraph on the subject is from the Pottery Gazelle: —•' This sentence has excited some surprise, front its apparent severity. Mr. Lee is a man of large property; lie is at least salirto be worth 5,006/.; end is so well re spected, that the constable of Haindsworth, and oilier petrol's from the neighbourhood, on tre•neing of his being taken into custody, expressed rem concern, and went to visit hint, and offer any set vices in their power—observing that he was one who • never re-- fused to do • 'n•n a good turn.' There does not sp. pear to us any thing in the conduct of Lee which might nut be °counted fur from his desire io shel ter Junes, with whom lie appears to Wye an ac quaintance, and whose g►neral character seems to have been good."—(Manchester Guardian.)
