If any further evidence was required of the virtues of Bear's Grease for renovating and preserving the hair, mr. ac ount of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North American Indians, would be a .ufficient answer. — Ross and Sons, 119 and 120 , Bi s hop s g ate-street, who first introduced the use of Bear's in this country, and who fat and kill the a nimals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with their names and address printed on the pot, or th e chances are their ob auutrig a spurious tirade, All Vegetable OW applied to the hair are 4415 Mu unity,.

Mr. KteowLas, for the defendant, ridiculed the plaintiff's case, as one which ought never to have become matter for litigation, and which never would have but for the activity of some friend of the plaintiff, who expected to profit by the suite-- The differences between the parties had their origin in a state of parish quarrels, existing at the spot where they re sided, and it was attaching undue importance to the words used, and which were uttered in a drunken, dispute at a public-house, to say that they were calculated to do the plaintiff any substantial injury. , His LORD.ITTIP said that it appeared difficult tosonsider the words of ..,e defendant a; any other than imputine to the plaintiff that he, being a mail of trade, was in a state of insolvency, and that he was about to hecome a bankrupt. If the jury thought that to be the meaning, they then would have to decide what damages the plaintiff was entitled to, he being, on such evidence, entitled to their vsrdict.—Ver diet for the plaintiff—Damages, 501. CROWN COO R.T.—( Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) POACIIING AFFRAY. —George Barker, aged 26, formerly a grinder at Sheffield, was indicted for having on the 26th of May, at Handsworth, in the West Riding, feloniously shot at Thotnas Longden, with intent to do him gritvous bodily harm. Mr. Pashley, with whom was Mr. Boothby, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Bliss defended the prisoner. It appeared that the offence WAS committed upon the manor of Mr. Michael Joseph Ellison, whose game-preserves are in the manor of Sheffield and liandsworth. His keeper, Joseph Jagger, on the date above stated, was going to bed, when he heard some one fire a gun, which induced him to open the window and look out. He then saw two men at a short die t ance, one of whom was the prisoner at the bar. He and his son, a boy about fourteen or fifteen, then went out, and into Lambs-hill Wood, which is near his house. The prisoner was seen to have a gun, and the two men went onwards to the land of Mr. Hutchinson. Jagger called out to them, and said, " Now, lads!" when the men appeared as if intending to make their escape. But the prisoner first raised his gun to his shoulder, and said, "Now, your eyes, if you follow I will blow your brains out." To that Jagger an swered, " I think we can do without that." The two men then went on. Jagger gave his son some instructions, and the latter left; and shortly afterwards Jagger, his son, and Longden, all came upon the two poachers at a gate to which the former had followed them, while young Jagger was going for assistance. At that spot the two men drew up, and the prisoner, addressing his companion, said, " Mon I go into him ?" the other answered, " Yes, go into him." The prisoner upon that lifted his gun, and fired it at Longden, who fell down. The prisoner then asked, " Mon I go into t'other?" The other man said, "Yes, go into him.' No further shot, however, was fired; and the two men ran off, and got into a lane, where they were lest in the pursuit. Longden had suffered much from the shooting. The surgeon who came to him found pellets of shot in his arms, over his breast, in his thighs, and also in the pit of his stomach. The prisoner was but a few yards from him when the gun was discharged. Mr. BLISS submitted to the jury that the prisoner had not been completely identified as the person committing the act, and called some witnesses, who gave the prisoner a very high character. The jury, after hearing his Lordship's summing up, delibe rated for a short time, finding the prisoner Guilty. The Learned JUDGE said that it had so frequently bap• peued for a loss of life to result from these acts of outrage, that his Lordship's duty required of him to make a severe example in the present instance. Had Longden been killed the prisoner's crime would have been murder, and then be must have incurred even a much more dreadful sentence, and without any hope of his life being spared him. The sen tence was, that for this offence he betrausported for the period of fifteen years. Matthew Harbron, aged 19, was indicted for having, on the 13th of April, at Knapton, in the East Riding, feloniously wounded John Holtby, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Bliss and Mr. Pullein were counsel for the prosecu tion ; arid Mr. Sergeant Wilkins appeared to defend. John Holtby, on examination, stated that he was a farmer, living at Knapton, and that the prisoner, who was a distant relation by marriage, had for some time lived with him as a servant upon his farm, it being the prisoner's duty, among other things, to look after sonic of the farm horses. On the 13th of April, the prisoner, who had that day been at plough, was in the stable along with a lad of the name of Mortimer, when he (the prosecutor), who is a man of about sixty years of age, went there to them. The prosecutor complained to the prisoner that he, the latter, was neglecting hit duty in not cleaning the horses. He was then sitting down. Asked him what he was about, to which prisoner said he was rest ing himself; and it was hard if he had not a right to take a rest, he haying then done a day's work. Being then com manded by his master to dress off the horses, he said he would not be in any hurry about it. The prisoner asked him if he had not been at church the day before, and there taken the saerament, and said that people who did that ought not to get into a passion. The prosecutor then told him that he had% better leave the stable, and let some one else do his work, if he would not do it himself. He took the prisoner by the collar, but only gently, and desired him to go out. lie would not do eo, but told him that if he came into the stable again he would split his skull for him. Mr. Holtby then went out, but returned in ten minutes, and the prisoner then struck him over the head with a pitchfork. lie had en a hat, however, which, being mush too large, had been lined with some thick folding of brown paper, which considerably lessened the force of the blow. As it was, he suffered a serious injury, in a cut about an inch long, which went to the bone of his head, and front which the blood flowed profusely. The prisoner, p,rceiving that they were sending for a policeman, exclaimed, " D—a him, he is now going to have his revenge, but I have had mine." Cross-examined—Did not suppose that he (witness) was of any worse temper than other people. He had laid hold of the prisoner's collar with his finger and thumb only. Did not wrestle with him, nor anything of that kind, and did not pull him by the hair of the head. Mortimer said their master was some considerable time away before lie entered the stable the second time. Saw the prisoner strike his master, as stated by the latter. Mr. Holtby first got hold of the prisoner somewhere about the breast. He afterwards laid hold of him by the hair. Cross-examined—Was quite sure that Mr. Holtby laid hold of the prisoner's hair, and did not know but he was pulled down on one knee. The prisoner struck with the handle-end of the fork. Witness had told Mr. Holtby that a person named Blueman, who was at work in a farm close by, had seen him pull the prisoner's hair. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS submitted to the jury that it was a case of no more than a common assault. The prisoner, though he had done wrong, bad no such intention as that imputed by the indictment, and the prosecutor's other ser vant, Mortimer, had contradicted him in one material parti cular, relating to the pulling the prisoner by the hair, which showed that Mr. Holtby had betrayed much more heat of temper upon the occasion than he was himself willing to admit. His LORDSHIP remarked, in summing up, on the fact of so much time having elapsed between the prosecutor's going out of the stable, and his return to it, and which showed that the prisoner, notwithstanding any provocation he might have endured, had had time for reflection. If the prose cutor had been killed by the blow it would have been murder in the prisoner.—Verdict, Guilty generally. PRICE sn. NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Bedford, July 18. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON and a Special Jury.) COULTAS V. BOWES, CLERK. The trial of this cause occupied the Court yesterday and to-day. The evidence was similar to that adduced when the case was lately before the public. Mr. Baron ALDERSON summed up the case to the jury with great minuteness, leaving it to them to say whether they gave credit to the story told by the Smiths and the other witnesses, who had chiefly deposed to conversations and matters short of an absolute and direct inculpation of the defendant. If the principal witnesses were deserving of credit, there could be no doubt but that the case was conclu sively proved against the defendant; but it was for the jury to weigh well and consider their testimony, and test it by the application of reason and probability. It was not enough that witnesses should depose directly to the commission of such an offence as that laid to the charge of the defendant; but their story ought to be consistent with itself and with pro bability. Of this the jury were the best judges; and it would be for them here, as in all such cases, to come to a conclusion hostile to the defendant only upon clear and un doubted proof, the onus of which lay upon the plaintiff. The jury, at the close of the Learned Judge's observations, begged fur permission to retire, at six o'clock, and remained locked up till half-past twelve, when it being i n timated to the parties and the Learned Judge, who had retired to his lto.dg ings, that there was not the slightest probdanertyatoifon their arriving at an unanimous verdict, after so 0 him released in due form (rota lodgings, and wborw thine assenteddbeiseduissCsilioarngietlwasThe jury accordinglyboi. repairedsides toti ttnheiy Judge'sshout their connneinent.

ARTIN, THE FOUNDLING ; or the ADVENTURES of a VALET-DE-CHAM BRE, appears regularly in the FAMILY HERALD, the most popular Periodical of the day. A successful attempt to blend wisdom with cheerful ness, and utility with entertainment. The Family Herald is a universal parlour favourite, well adapted for leisure moments. Order No. 168, or Part 39, the former One Penny the latter Sixpence. where afterwards two or three shots were heard. Lieute • nants Pym and Hawkey, attended by a servant, crossed in a boat to Gosport about three or four in the afternoon, the ser vant carrying a square brown paper parcel. The two officers proceeded to Brown Down, leaving the servant on the shingle, where he could.not see what passed on the down. Within half an hour, first one shot was heard, and then another. The servant was called in haste, and lie found Mr. Seton bleeding on the ground, and Lieutenants Hawkey and Pym were not there. The Learned Counsel proceeded to say that the question for the jury to decide was, whether the prisoner at the bar was the person who fired the shot which caused Mr. Seton's death. He should call witnesses to show that after the shots were fired two gentlemen were seen run ning along a late leading from the spot where the crime was committed ; that they arrived at the Fountain Inn, and left behind them a parcel directed to Lieutenant Hawkey, to be called for next day. Those gentlemen speedily left the inn, and the evidence would show that at three o'clock two per sons, one being the prisoner, arrived at the house of Mr. Ellis, the master of the Queen's yacht, who would relate what took place there. The Colonel or Adjutant of the re giment would prove that i since these events the prisoner had not been seen on duty. 'The evidence would show that Mr. Seton was taken on board a yacht, and Mr ' Jenkins, a sur geon, called to his assistance. From thence he was taken to the Quebec Hotel, where he was attended by three or four experienced medical men. For some time his case proceeded favourably, but afterwards assumed a serious aspect, a tumour was found, and it was determined to perform a sur gical operation, without which there would have been no hope of saving his life. That operation was performed, and well performed, and late at night, or rather early in the morning, the deceased made a certain statement to Dr. Stewart, which that gentleman would detail to the jury, if the Learned Judge thought proper to admit it as evidence. The question for the jury to determine was, whether the prisoner had committed the crime laid to his charge. Should they be satisfied he had, it was their duty, in justice to the public, and in discharge of their consciences, to find him guilty. The Learned JUDGE ordered the prisoner to be accommo dated with a chair, as the inquiry we 4ely to last for some time. .. . The first witness called was Wm. Down i e private in the Marines, who was servant to Lieutenant kiiwkey in May, 1845. He deposed to the fact of a foxithwean calling on the morning of the 19th of May. By his. _ . be Ascertained te 4 that it was Lieutenant &mask of ,:, - _ikh!ey. lie saw Mr. Hawkey, and then left.. or' , , ~, met his master at Portsmouth, and, by his o - ''' te Lieu. tenant Hawkey's lodgings. Lieutenant' laikeikey ilever_ re turned there. _ _ _ On cross-examination by Mr. Cociesitinsz, he stated that Lieut. Hawkey was much from home, attending drill and other military duties. Wm. Marsh, also a private in the Marines, was then called, and stated that in May, 1845, he was servant to Lieut. Pym. That on the 20th of May he went with his master to "Point," in Portsmouth, and on getting to the Sally Port, they met Mr. Hawkey, and got a boat and crossed to Gosport. Pre vious to this Mr. Pym had given him a brown paper parcel with something hard in it. They all walked on to Brown Down, where Mr. Pym directed him to go down to the shore and wait. The shore was there so rocky that he could not see the Down. He waited there until called by Mr. Pym, about half an hour. On coming up to the Down he saw a gentleman standing, and one lying down on his back bleed ing. Ile did not see either of the faces of the gentlemen, and one of them sent him for a surgeon, which he did. Went on to Gosport and fetched Mr. Jenkins. When they got back to the Down, the wounded gentleman had been taken on board a yacht. The next day he went by the direction of some gentleman, whose name he did not know, to an inn called the Fountain, and fetched away the same parcel that he bad taken to Brown Down. He left it at Lieut. Hockin's room. On cross-examination by Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE, he stated that he could not say who the gentlemen were whom he saw on the down. One he did not know, and he did not see the face of the other. Lieutenant Hockin, at whose room he left the parcel, was the adjutant of the corps. Mr. Hollingsworth, the keeper of the Assembly-room at Southsea, deposed to seeing Messrs. Hawkey, Pym, and Seton at his rooms, on the night of the 19th, at a ball. Mrs. Hawkey was there. He also stated that he saw Seton leave the room, and speak to either Mr. Hawkey or Pym (who were sitting near the door). As lie went out previously to this, Mr. Hawkey and Mr. Seton had gone into the card room, and stayed some time. Mr. Savage, of the Artillery, who was one of the stewards of the ball on the 19th May, deposed to having seen Mr. Hawkey-, Mr. Seton, and Lieutenant Bowles at the ball, and that Lieutenant Rowles had told him that Mr. Hawkey had called Mr. Seton a blackguard and a scoundrel, and re quested him to try and arrange the matter, which he refused to do, except in his capacity of steward. He then spoke to Mr. Hawkey, who said that he had received an injury, and not an insult, and therefore the matter could not be arranged. He also met Mr. Hawkey the next morning, when be told him that Lieutenant Rowles had called him out on the p Irt of Mr. Seton, and that he (Mr. Hawkey) had asked Mr. Pym to be his second. John Lewis Town, a merchant residing in Portsea, deposed to the fact that as he was walking along Green-row, in Portsmouth, on the morning of the 20th May, he overtook Lieutenant Hawkey and Mr. Pym walking towards South sea. He then heard Hawkey say to Pym, " I'll shoot him like a partridge." On cross-examination he stated that the words were "I will." or " I would," shoot him like a partridge. Mr. Thomas Fisk, a silversmith, living at Portsmouth, de posed to the prisoner having come to his shop on the morning of the 20th May, and asked to borrow a pair of pistols to shoot a match for W. with, which he said he had made with Mr. Pym. He (witness) showed him a pair, but told him he could not lend them, as they were new. Mr. Hawkey then bought the pistols, and they were sent to a gunsmith of the name of for Mr. Hawkey to try, as he (Fisk) had no place in which it ovoid be done. They were ordi nary duelling pistols. John Sherwood, who keeps a shooting gallery at Ports mouth, was then called, and stated that he remembered Mr. Hawkey coming to his shop on the morning of the 20th of May, and asking to have a few shots in his gallery, and that he showed him up to the gallery. He had a few shots, arid then asked to borrow the pistols he had tried; but the wit ness told him he never lent pistols. Upon this Mr. llawkey went away, but subsequently returned, prior to which a case of pistols had been sent from Fisk's. Mr. Hawkey then directed Sherwood to cast a few bullets for the pistols, which he did, put them in the case, and it was sent up into the gal ler3- for him to try the pistols. George Powell, the servant of the last witness, proved that some gentleman came on the 20th of May, in the morning, and had a few shots. He then went away, but subsequently returned with another gentleman (both in undress uniforms), and both tried the pistols for which the bullets were cast, as stated by the last witness. One gentleman fired three shots (the one who called first), and said, on firing one of the shots, that "it was a d—d good pistel," and marked it with a tool. He then asked the witness to let his friend see how he loaded them, which he did. On cross-examination he stated that the defendant took deliberate aim at the target, and did not shoot in the way called " snap shooting," which is the way used in duelling. John Dennis, a preventive man, deposed to having gone to Brown Down in consequence of what he had heard from Marsh, when he was running for the surgeon, and of his assisting to help a gentleman whom he found there wounded and bleeding on board the Dream yacht. John Daniels was then called, and stated he was walking on Brown Down on the evening of the 20th of May, and heard three shots fired, one first and then two together. He afterwards went towards the spot, and saw two gentlemen coming away, one of them had a parcel. They went in the direction of Green-lane, which is the way to the Fountain Inn. He did not know either of them. William Wood, the landlord of the Fountain Inn, which is about three miles from Brown Down, stated that he had been from home on the morning of the 20th of May, but on his return in the evening he was shown a parcel . by his wife, which he believed was a pistol case. It was directed to Lieutenant Hockin, or Hawkey, he could not say which. It was fetched away the next day by an officer's servant. He also stated that his wife was too ill to come and give evi dence. On cross-examination he stated the parcel was in brown paper and sealed. Mr. W. Ellis, the master of the Queen's yacht, the Victoria and Albert, stated that Mr. Hawkey and Mr. Pym came to his house on the evening of the 20th of May. Mr. Hawkey told him that he had been grossly insulted by Mr. Seton, and that Seton had challenged him. He, however, in no way referred to the duel. Hawkey and Pym stayed there that night. They went way the next day. Lieutenant Hole, the adjutant of the Marine corps at Portsmouth, stated that Lieutenant Pym was absent from his duty on the morning of the 21st, and did not afterwards return. He also stated that Mr. Hawkey had been absent from the 24th. By Mr. CocxsunN—Mr. Hawkey has always borne the ' best character in hie regiment as an officer and a gentleman, also as a peaceable and humane man. I have known him ever since 1837. Mrs. Stanmore was called, and stated the prisoner and his wife lived at her house in May, 1845, that he left her house on the afternoon of the 20th of that month, and never returned. Cross-examined by Mr. COCKBURN—On the 19th of May Mr. Hawkey gave me some directions. He told me if Mr. Seton called to see Mrs. Hawkey not tolet him stop long alone with her, as he had dreadfully insulted her. Previously to this Mrs. Hawkey had desired me to deny her to Mr. Seton. She had told me two or three times that she was afraid of him. Previously to this he had often called, generally at times when Mr. Hawkey was absent at drill. Mr. John Jenkins, a surgeon at Gosport, stated that he was called to attend a wounded gentleman on Brown Down. When he got there he found him on board the Dream yacht. Ile then described the nature of the wound and the treat ment which he adopted. This was given at length in our report of the trial of Lieutenant Pym. He then stated that the wounded man (who was Mr. Seton) was carried to the Quebec Hotel, at Portsmouth, when further advice was called in. The patient, however, got worse, and on the 29th Mr. Liston and two other medical gentlemen came down from London, and, on consultation , it w as decided to perform an operation, which was accordingly done very skilfully by Mr. Liston on the next morning. At the close of this witness s examination-in-chief, Mr. COCKBURN stated to the Learned Judge the course he had taken at the trial of Mr. Pym. He had then proposed, both by cross examination and calling witnesses, to show that the medical treatment which had been adopted was improper, and had caused the death of Mr. Seton. Mr. Justice Erie had then stated that he was of opinion that if, according to the best me • dical skill called into a wounded person, a particular opera tion was thought to be absolutely necessary as the only means of saving his life, and the party died in consequence of that operation, the person who inflicted the wound was re sponsible for the death, although the treatment were improper. He, however, stated he would receive the tender of the evi dence, and reserve the point if it should become necessary. He (Mr. Cockburn) now proposed taking a similar course, but he would be content, in the event of the Learned Baron being of a similar opinion to Mr. Justice Erie, to be placed in the same position. Mr. Baron PLATT stated he entirely concurred with the opinion given by Mr. Justice Erle, but that he would reserve the point as he had done. Dr. Mortimer, naval surgeon at Gosport, who was called to attend Mr. Seton at the Quebec Hotel, deposed to the nature of the wound and the course of the bullet through the body. Six full days passed without any change in the wound. On the 27th witness discovered an obscure pulsation, indicating that the mouth of the wounded artery had begun again to throw out its contents. This was the first indication of danger he discovered. The pulsation continued to increase, and on the 29th the symptoms rendered further steps necessary. Witness then had a consultation with Mr. Jenkins and Dr. I Stewart every day. The state of the tumour certainly ren dered an operation necessary. Without one the life of the patient would have been in decided danger. Mr. Liston came down and performed an operation in witness's presence, on Saturday evening, the 31st, at ten o'clock. The operation was tying the iliac artery. In witness's opinion no other operation offered the same chances of success. Mr. Seton was a little exhausted after the operation, but the operation was perfectly successful, and the pulsation entirely ceased. Mr. Seton died on the Monday. Witness was present at the post mortem examination, and saw that the course of the wound was superficial on the muscles of the belly, and then divided a branch of the iliac artery. In witness's judgment peritoneal inflammation was the immediate cause of death. The gun-shot wound was a dangerous one. Cross-examined by Mr. Cocienurts—The peritoneal in flammation subsequent to the operation was, in witness's judgment, the immediate cause of death ; but if no opei ation had been performed, it was a matter of opinion whether the wound itself would have caused death. If it had, it would have been death in a different form—from hemorrhage, and not from peritoneal inflammation. Dr. Stewart, surgeon, was examined—From the first mo ment he saw Mr. Seton, he considered him in imminent danger, and communicated that fact to his friends. '1 he witness also described the nature and course of the wound, and generally confirmed the preceding medical tes timony. On the Sunday morning after the operation Mr. Seton was much worse, and witness communicated his danger to him. The witness proceeded to say, Mr. Seton repeatedly inquired my opinion, but I evaded the question as much as I could; but he said, "I am not afraid to die." This was towards Monday morning. He said, " I am mast thankful to you and the medical men who have attended me. lam aware of your opinion. Do you think there is the least chance ?" I told him there was not the least hope—none in the world. He repeated to rise a conversation he had had with me during the night. He said, " I repeat to you, as I did before, I know not why lam shot." He wept bitterly. He had previously received the sacrament. He had seen his lawyer and made his will on the Saturday morning pre vious to the operation. He appead to believe what I said, that there was no hope for him. This was between Six and seven o'clock on Monday morning. By Mr. COCKBUILN—I sat up with him all night. It was during the night that he asked me if there was any hope. It was on the second time he asked me that I told him there was was not the least hope. He did not afterwards repeat the question. He died about seven o'clock on the evening of the Monday. I was with him repeatedly in the course of Monday. He asked me in the course of the day how I thought him. I told him I thought worse. This was about two o'clock. He did not say he was better and felt free from pain. The statements he made to me followed immediately on my telling him that there was no hope. His question to me in the course of the day did not imply that he had the faintest hope. By Mr. RAWLINSON—IIe said that had the duel taken place at six paces, Lieut. Hawkey would have been'placed in his position and he in Mr. Hawkey's. He said he was per fectly innocent. He said, " I know not why I have been shot if I were to die this moment." There was very little conversation after that. With respect to the pistol, he said he saw Lieutenant Hawkey present his pistol which did not go off, and he saw him a second time present his pistol, which did go off, and the ball from which passed through his (Mr. Seton's) body. He said, " I fired myself on both occasions." I asked him if he was sure it was Hawkey who fired the pistol? and he said, " I have no doubt of it." By Mr. Sergeant KisGr.AKE—There were two causes of death, primary and secondary. The first, the ball which passed through his body ; the second, the inflammation of the peritoneum. If the operation had not taken place, death would have ensued from hemorrhage. By Mr. RAWLINSON—The operation was a tremendous one. The deceased was so stout that it was necessary to cut to a great depth to reach the artery. Dr. Allen, a surgeon of Hasler Hospital, was called by the prosecution, and cross-examined by Mr. COCKBURN—He stated that in his opinion the immediate cause of death was peritoneal inflammation, brought on by the operation. By Mr. M. Samii—The ball wounded a small artery, which was dangerous to life; it was a branch of the femoral artery. By Mr. COCKBURN—The artery taken up was the external iliac artery. By the JUDGE—By tying that artery the circulation was cut off from this tumour. In nay opinion the proper artery was taken up. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. COCKBURN then submitted that upon the evidence in this case the offence of murder, according to the English law, was not made out. It appeared that a wound was inflicted, in consequence of which an operation was thought necessary ; and that, from the results of that operation, the person wounded died. No decisions, or any distinct authorities, were to be found in which this had been held to be murder. The question is alluded to in 1 Russ. on Crimes, 505, but the cases there cited were instances of the death being occa sioned by the physical consequences of the wound, though somewhat remote. In the Scotch law cases had occurred analogous to the present, and there it was held not to be murder. He cited Alison's Principles of Criminal Law in Scotland, p. 145. Baron PLATT, on being informed that Mr. Justice Erie had reserved the point upon the trial of Mr. Pym, said that he would also reserve it, although he agreed with Mr. Justice Erle. Mr. COCKBURN then objected that the cause of death was not rightly described, as being by " the wound " by a . pistol bullet. His Lordship also expressed his opinion to be against the objection, but he said that as Mr. Justice Erle had on a former occasion reserved the point, he should do the inane. _ Mr. COCKBURN then rose and addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner in a most eloquent and stirring speech, which lasted two hours, and of which we can give 'only a brief outline. He recapitulated the circumstances, already fami liar to the public, which occurred prior to the fatal encounter, and dwelt with much earnestness and energy upon the deep provocation Lieutenant Hawkey had received in the base at tempt upon the chastity of his wife made by Mr. Seton. Ho commented with great force upon the evidence for the prose cution, contending that as it stood before the jury it demon strated both the provocation the prisoner had received, and the absence of vindictiveness on his part. With respect to the long absence of Lieutenant Hawkey from his regiment since the fatal occurrence, it had not been the result of his osn free will, but under the constraint, as it were, of those who conducted his defence. A strong popular feeling had been excited at the time of the fatal occurrence, and it had been thought right to allow time for that feeling to subside before the prisoner should be put upon his trial ; and, moreover, it was only an act of justice to Mr. Pym, the old friend of Mr. Hawkey, that his trial should take place under the most favourable circumstances, and if Mr. Pym and Mr. Hawkey had been tried at the :same time, Mrs. Ilawkey being the wife of one of the prisoners, Mr. Pym could not have had the benefit of her evidence. That was the reason the trial of Mr. Hawkey had been deferred, but he had this day sur rendered to take his trial of his own free will and unre strained choice. Mr. Hawkey, however, was not tried under circumstances so advantageous as Mr. Pym, for by the law he could not have the benefit of the evidence of his wife, who could have detailed all the circumstances of provocation. The Learned Counsel, in commenting upon the evidence, re presented the great danger that would ensue if juries were to allow detached fragments of conversation, which had been accidentally overheard, to bias their minds against a pri soner on trial for his life. He showed that no vindictiveness could be inferred from the practice in the shooting-gallery, inasmuch as there had been, in :fact, no practice at all, only three shots having been fired, just sufficient to try the pistols. The evidence also showed that both Pym and Hawkey were ignorant of the practice of duelling, for the former was obliged even to observe how the_ pistol was loaded by the man in attendance in the gallery. He called the at tention of the jury to the facts, that Seton was the challenger, after the deadly injury he had attempted to inflict upon the honour and peace of the prisoner; that at the meeting Hawkey's pistol missed fire once, that in that position it was impossible for him to propose an accommodation, while it was quite in Seton's power, as the challenger, to ;lave done so, but he persisted, and he consequently fired twice, while Mr. Hawkey had only fired once. The Learned Counsel then made some general observations on duelling, and the law relating to it, the substance of which has already ap peared in the report of his speech on the trial of Mr. Pym, and urged upon the jury not to inflict the last penalties of the law upon a man who had met his antagonist in fair and equal combat, and class him in the same category with the secret and cowardly assassin. He challenged the production of a case where a jury had convicted of wilful murder a man who had met his adversary in fair fight. He then contended that no reliance was to be placed upon the last statement of Mr. Seton, and beyond that there was no stric t legal evi dence, such as the jury had a right to Aiumand in such a case, that the band of r. Hawkey caused the death of Mr. Seton. The Learned Counsel then argued that the cause of death was not properly set forth in the indictment, inasmuch as it was described as accruing from a leaden bullet, whereas it was proved by the medical witnesses to have accrued from peritoneal inflammation, resulting from the surgical operation. Mr.CocKstnix having concluded his most eloquent ad dress, called Colonel Swaile, Colonel Gordon, Colonel Ste phens, and a great many officers of the Marine corps and other gentlemen, who gave the prisoner the highest cha racter as an officer and a gentleman, and as a person of a very peaceable and kind disposition. Mr. Baron Purr then proceeded to sum up the case to the jury, and laid the law down to them to be, that if two persons go out to fight a duel after previous quarrel, and one kill the other, all persons, whether principals or seconds, are guilty of murder. If, therefore, they thought that the evi dence in this case made out to their satisfaction thatle l i lr i . r . Hawkey had shot Mr. Seton in a due l, it wouldb be t bounden duty to find him guilty on the present indictment. He then went minutely thro u g h the evidence,on had beenm m commenting i t n h g e upon whateverit as t h h e e w y en mighton on; thinkand c t o h n e cl p u r evdo provocation them, that prisoner by the conduct of F r. Seton to his (the prisoner's) wife, and however they might commisserate the wounded feelings of the husband, yet they must not allow that feeling to prevent them doing their duty ; and if, therefore, they thought the charge was made out in evidence against the prisoner, they were bound to convict him. At the conclusion of the Learned Baron's address, the jury, without the hesitation of a single instant—almost, it might be said, without the formality of consulting together—re turned a verdict of Not Guilty. The announcement was received with a vehement burst of approbation, which the officers of the court strove in vain to repress. The Learned Judge commanded silence, and was compelled to order one of the most prominent and noisy of the crowd into custody. The culprit, however, managed to abscond ; and, in truth, nobody seemed disposed to make very violent efforts for his apprehension. Eientenant Hawkey, immediately on his liberation, was surrounded by friends and brother officers, offering him their hearty congratulations ; and upon his exit from the court he was loudly cheered by the people. Mr. Baron Platt was also saluted with hearty huzzas as his carriage passed through the streets of the fine old city of Winchester. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, July 15.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. BOMA: ClRCUlT.—Chelmsford, July 16. CROWN SID E.—(Before Mr. Baron PANKE.) Charles Pryor surrendered to take his trial upon an indict ment charging him with feloniously forging and uttering a pro missory note for 2001., with intent to defraud Louisa Le gerton. Mr. Ryland and Mr. Rodwell conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Hawkins appeared for the prisoner. Louisa Legerton, the prosecutrix, deposed that she lived with her mother at Ugley Hall Farm, in the parish of Wal den, and she had the management of the farm. The pri soner had been employed in the capacity of bailiff and confi dential servant for thirteen years, and he used to purchase and sell stock. In 1843 he asked her to lend his brother Joseph Pryor 1004 and he said he would get her good secu rity for the principal and interest, and she gave the prisoner that sum, but at the time no security was given to her. He afterwards asked her to lend another sum of 100/., and upon his undertaking to give her a promissory note for the whole sum she had lent, she consented, and he shortly afterwards crave her a nroroissors . ..ptr. and, for 2004 which appeared to have the signature u‘Al, of If and his brother. She said she remarked to the prisoner at tu. time that the writing was very similar, and he accounted for it by saving that he and his brother had both gone to the same school, and were taught by the same master. On being cross-examined the witness stated that the pri soner's wages were 301. a year, and he had the entire ma nagement of the farming business. He had offered to marry her as many as a thousand times, but she always refused. She said it was her own money that she advanced to him, and her mother had nothing to do with the transaction. She admitted there had been some other money transactions be tween the prisoner, herself, and other parties, and that she was in possession of a bill for 300/., which, however, was not produced. Joseph Pryor, the brother of the prisoner, deposed that the signature to the promissory note purporting to be his was not written by him, and he also stated that he never autho rised the prisoner to borrow money for him. On cross-examination he admitted that about the time in question he did receive two sums of 1001. each from his bro ther, and that he had not since repaid the amount. Mr. HAWKINS, on the part of the prisoner, addressed the jury, and contended that the prosecution had been got up out of spite, and that there was no proof of any intention to defraud, and the prisoner was entitled to an acquittal. Mr. Baron PARKE summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner was then arraigned upon another indictment, charging him with feloniously embezzling the sums of 8/. and 251., the moneys of Jane Legerton. The prosecutrix in this case was the mother of the former prosecutrix, and it appeared that in November, 1845, the prisoner had sold some wheat for 81. 18s. 9d., and a horse for 251. in March, and it was alleged that he had not accounted for either of these sums. Louisa Legerton, the prosecutrix in the former indictment, was again examined, and she deposed to the transactions re ferred to having taken place, and that the prisoner had never accounted to her for the money. The jury found the prisoner Guilty upon this indictment, and he was sentenced to be imprisoned four calendar months. Mary Anne Mead, a little girl, who was stated in the ca lendar to be only twelve years old, pleaded guilty to a charge of feloniously and maliciously setting fire to a barn, the property of John Smith. The prisoner was put back, in order that his Lordship might have an opportunity of looking at the depositions and inquiring into the circumstances of the case; and in the course of the day she was again placed at the bar to receive the judgment of the Court. Mr. Baron PARKE addressed the prisoner, and said that she had pleaded guilty to a very serious offence; and upon looking over the depositions, the case appeared so clearly made out by the evidence, that there was no doubt a jury would have come to the same conclusion if she had taken a different course, and therefore she had not at all placed her self in a worse position by confessing her guilt. The offence appeared to be of a very aggravated description, and to have been committed without any motive or cause whatever, and under such circumstances he had no alternative but to pass upon her a sentence of transportation. He at the same time, however, would inform her, that if she conducted herself with propriety, and there should be reason to believe that she sincerely repented the act she bad committed, it was probable that the sentence ;would be mitigated very considerably, and that after some lengthened imprisonment she might be again restored to society. His Lordship then sentenced the prisoner to be transported for fourteen years. WESTERN CIRCUIT.--Winchester, July 16. (Before Mr. Baron PLArr.) TRIAL OF LIEUT. HAWKEY FOR THE WILFUL MURDER OF 'LIEUT. SETON IN A DUEL. Henry Charles Morehead Hawkey surrendered to take his trial for the wilful murder of James Alexander Seton. The court was most densely crowded, and the trial seemed to cause the greatest interest. The indictment was read, and it charged the prisoner with the wilful murder of James Alexander Seton, by shooting at him with a pistol, loaded with a leaden bullet. and giving him years of age, pleaded Not Guilty in a firm a mortal wound on the right , side. He was also charged with a like offence by the coroners inquisition, '2ar6ed to ha . vesuffere a good deal from anxiety, The prisoner, who is a _tine, gentlemanly -looking young and looked very and a an care-worn In vo a i n ce Mr. Rawlinson and Mr. Montague Smith appeared for the Crown. Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., and Mr. Sergeant Kinglake de• . of R a e b a o p u p t e fended the prisoner. opening the Mr. RAWLINSO,O in f case for the prosecution, exhorted the j ur y to banish . from their minds all reports which they might have heard respecting the case, and to give their verdict upon the evidence alone. The prisoner at the bar stood charged with having killed Lieutenant Seton in a duel, which took place on Brown Down, near Gosport. The law, as the jury would doubtless hear it expounded by the Learned Judge, was, that if a m an went out del i berately to seek the blood of his fellow-mu in a private quarrel, and killed him, be was guilty of the crime of murder. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to give a short outline of the facts of the case, w hich, as they have been already fully re ported more than once, it is u nnecessary to repeat. We will merely recal to the recollection of eur readers that Lieutenant Hawkey was stationed at Portsmouth, where he resided in lodgings with his wife. They became acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Seton, who lived at Southsea. On the 19th May, last year, there was a ball at Southsea, and all the parties were there, as well as Lieutenant Pym. During the ball some altercation arose between the prisoner and Mr. Seton, and they retired into a card-room, where they remained ten minutes or a q uarter of an hour. On the following morn ing, at eight o'clock, a gentleman called on the prisoner, and left his card, and it would appear that that gentleman was sent by Mr. Seton with a challenge to Mr. Hawkey. Lieute nants Hawkey and Pym were then seen between ten and eleven o'clock going into Portsmouth, and Mr. Hawkey appeared to be speaking in a loud and excited tone. At eleven o'clock, Lieutenant Hawkey called upon Mr. Sherwood, a gunsmith, for the purpose of borrowing pistols, but was referred to Mr. Fisk, a jeweller, of whom he purchased a pair, and after ir.quiring for a shooting gallery, ordered them to be sent to Sherwood's gallery, ~_,,a ~t 171,, - 1 Admission, Is. ; Schools, Half-price.
