PRICE SD. the jury were sobbing, and there were but tew dry eyes in cc.urt. injured you, and hope for your forgiveness," &c. And now, gentlemen (said Mr. Whitehurst), you may picture to yourself the state of this young lady on receipt of this most cruel epistle, breaking off, as it was intended to do, alto gether, the engagement which had subsisted for seven years with a man upon whom, during that time, her warmest affections had been bestowed. Her answer stated, " I cannot resign you on such grounds as you give me; nor shall I ever —certainly not for poverty. During these seven or eight years, forgive sue for now saving I have had other opportanities, and have never listened to any one. You say that you have injured me: you have, but I forgive you, and cannot resign you." He after this came over, and the final interviews, first with the mother, and then with the daughter, took place as above described. Her letter of the 7th of March further stated—" Do not, I implore you, go to • sea, if you have any regard for my life. I am not ambitious ; a small income will do, and I am not above contributing to it. If Belper will not do you can try some other place," &c. To this there was no answer, and he shbuld show them that at this time he was' Making= offer to another young lady, with a considerable fortune—with a fortune of 6,0001. or 7,000/. ; but the clergyman who had become the husband of that lady's sister had heard of his engagement with Miss Toplis, and objected to him on that and other grounds, and so he was in that quarter refused. A year and a half after wards, at Midsummer, 1844, he wrote a letter beginning " To Miss Toplis," stating that he was destined never to alter his condition of a dreary life of celibacy, and that the correspondence which was now of ancient date, should be mutually returned for the sake of etiquette, and that such was the " general rule," &c. No answer being re turned to this he wrote again to the young lady in August, , beginning "_Dear Madam," and saying that he supposed she had not received his last, and reiterating what he had said before. These letters, the mother, from regard to the feel ings of her child, opened and withheld from her. In the month of October a packet of letters was put into the hands of Mrs. Toplis, while she was at the tea-table with friends present, and she placed it under the cushion of the sofa for the time, and afterwards opened it, and found it to contain her daughter's letters to the defendant. She then wrote a note to him, dated the 26th of October, 1544, acknowledging the receipt of them, mildly reproaching him, and apprising him that they had been forwarded to her legal adviser, to take such measures in respect of them as he might recom mend, and when he might deem the most fit time. This was probably intended to offer him a locus pcenitentite. He however, wrote across it in large letters, "To what strange uses may we not come, Horatio !" and in such state returned it to her by post. The Learned Counsel then stated that the young lady was not rich, but possessed charms and attractions which, during the long course of years of the plaintiff's basely trifling with her, as he had chosen to do, would have procured her a settlement in life, honourable to herself and her family; and, no amount of damages that they could award could restore her, though she was of a happy and contented disposition, to that state of mind which she had previously enjoyed. Tae Learned Counsel then called the mother of the plain tiff and several other witnesses, who gave evidence corrobo rating the statements he had made in his address to the jury. The foreman of the jury with great difficulty pronounced the word" Guilty." The jury and the prosecutor united in recommending the prisoner most strongly to mercy. Mr. RoGEns, in a most feeling manner, passed sentence upon the unfortunate girl, and ordered her to be imprisoned one month, but without hard labour, and told her shd would not be placed among the bad characters in the prison. MIDLAND CIRCUIT—Derby, July 29. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice PArrnsox and a Spe • cial Jury.) ROSINA SARAH TOPLIS V. RICHARD ROWLAND ALLEN. This was an action for breach of promise of marriages •The defendant pleaded, Ist, that he did not promise; 2d, that at the time he made the promise, he was an infant, under the age of twenty-one years; 3d, the statute of limitations— that he did not promise within six years; and, 4th, that the contract was put an end to by mutual consent and agree ment. The plaintiff now assigned that the promise whilst he was an infant under the age of twenty-one years was not the promise in the declaration mentioned, and that he pro mised after he was of full age. Mr. Whitehurst, Q.C., and Mr. Waddington. conducted the plaintiff's case; Mr. Humfrey, Q.C., and Mr. Macaulay represented the defendant. Mr. WIIITEHURST opened the case. The plaintiff was the daughter of a widow lady, whose husband had been a wine merchant in the town of Nottingham, ant was well con nected, being related to Mr. Toplis, the banker, and to the Rev. s.r. Melville, who were well known in the county of Derby. After the decease of her husband, Mrs. Toplis, with her four children, went to reside with his uncle, Mr. Toplis, who subsequently removed to a house at West-hill, in Heanor, where they had continued to dwell down to the present time. The defendant Allen was a person of humble birth, but of great ability, as his letters would show, and in 1835 and 1836 was an apprentice or assistant to Mr. Boden, a medical gentleman at Heanor, who professionally attended Mrs. Toplis and her family. About this time Mrs. Toplis had an illness, for which Mr. Boden attended her, and hence his assistant, Mr. Allen, became acquainted with Mrs. Toplis and'the family, by attending occasionallyger Mr. Boden, and this ripened into intimacy, and he became a frequent visitor at the house. He bore at that time a high character for sobriety, steadiness, and honour, and became attached to this young lady, who was then about 18 years of age. About this time the young lady went on a visit to Mr. Scul -1 horpe, a highly respectable solicitor at Nottingham. During this visit he wrote to her a very fervent letter, pro fessing his attachment. This she answered as a young lady well brought up would answer such a letter, telling him to avoid such compliments for the future as were therein lavished. On the return of the young lady to West-hill, the engagement was arranged with the con sent of all parties, and he visited afterwards at the house as one engaged to be married to her, and was received by the mother and family almost as one of its members. In 1837 he went to Edinburgh to pursue his professional studies, and it was agreed that they should write to each other every month. He passed two years in Edinburgh, and then came back to Heanor, where his friends resided. The intimate association was now renewed between them, and he professed and exhibited, if possible, still more affectionate regard than before. He shortly afterwards went to London to walk the hospitals, and during his stay there letters of the same nature passed between them. After this stay in London, and his there passing his examinations, and becoming ad• mitted, he contemplated establishing himself somewhere, and a Mr. Cooper, of Belper, being about to resign and die • pose of his practice, he became the purchaser of it. He went there, and lived in lodgings, until he finally settled with Mr. Cooper, and then took a house of his own. It would be shown that he there succeeded beyond his most sanguine expectations. He became surgeon to the union, and to a number of medical clubs, and wrote to the plaintiff from time to time to tell her so, and also that his general practice was increasing. His visits and letters however be coming lese frequent, the young lady wrote to-remonstrate with him; to which letter his reply was, that he was so much occupied with his increasing business. Still, however, the most passionate letters were written, and this went on till the year 1842, when the young lady was much annoyed on receiving information of his having been seen at Heanor, driving up and down in a gig a young woman, the daughter of an innkeeper. He wrote to her an excuse for his conduct, - viz., that the young woman was a patient of his, and he thought that a ride would do her good. He still, however, wrote to the plaintiff in the affectionate terms of one con templating a marriage. The plaintiff could no longer shut her ears to what every one was talking about all around her. Her health became broken, and she had a most serious and alarming. illness. Her brother, who lye-s -in London himself, walking the hospitals, on hearing of his sister's illness, and that the defendant had not been near her for more than seven weeks, though almost a boy, thought it right to write to him, inti mating, in most becoming language, that he considered his sister's illness occasioned by his conduct towards her, and that he was trifling with her affection , . To this the defend • ant wrote him an answer, to the effect that marl ying was out of the question, that he was doomed to a life of celibacy, that he could not succeed at Belper, that he had staked his all upon the throw of a die, and failed; that he was over head and ears in embarrassment; that what little property was in his family was mortgaged, and he had to pay i the in t, rest upon the mortgage, and it must be sold ; and, n short, that he was quite ruined, and his family gone down to the dogs, and he must go to sea as a surgeon in a ship, as a friend of his wished him to do at once. He had ever loved Rosina too well to link her to a fate of such a nature as a marriage with him in his present broken condition. The youth replied reproachfully, but temperately, saying that he was grieved, but partially satisfied, and adding, towards the close, that his conduct appeared to him to have been most base and unmanly. After the correspondence with the brother he paid-a visit to Mrs. Toplis, detailing all the story about his poverty, and, in short, peremptorily breaking off the engagement. The young lady was out at this time for a drive, which it was supposed would, after her illness, be of benefit, but returned during the conversation, when the mother said, " Here she comes, poor thing, and you may tell her yourself, for I have not the heart to tell her." He then had an interview with the :young lady alone, who being heard by her sister to be much distressed and sobbing, that young lady listened, and would detail what passed. It amounted, however, to a rupture of the engagement. The plaintiff besought that he would not go to sea, which he ultimately pro mised, and he also promised that he would visit her again. This he never intended to do, and had never done. The effect produced 'upon her was a very serious illness, extending over a long time. If he had broken his engage ment at an earlier period when she was still in the bloom of her youth, there might be something to be said ; but here he had deluded this poor girl for no less than six or seven years, making offers to two or three other women, whilst he was professing the most devoted attachment to her; and at last, in 1844, marrying one of them because she happened to have some money. The Learned Counsel here read portions of some of the very numerous letters, observing that his friend could have all of them if he pleased, or any that he chose. The first letter read was of the 11th October, 1836. In this he spoke of his ardent hopes that "you will one day repay me by being mine ;" " if steadiness and perseverance, my Rosina ;" "do not write a guarded and circumspect answer," &c. This she answered on the 21st—" My dear friend ;" favourably, but warning him against any more such flowery compliments—" very sincerely, Rosina Sarah Toplis." In November,lB37, he wrote from Edinburgh every good letter, descriptive of his journey, &c., with "deprived of your sweet society ;" " thoughts revert to home and Vest-hill," &c. He had attained the age of 21 before he went tb Edinburgh. On the 20th November, 1837, she replied to the last, " My dear Richard," &c., and a great number of letters on his part, of a very ardent nature, and on hers sufficiently so, were interchanged during the stay in Edinburgh. After his return to Heanor, she went again on a visit to Nottinghtim ; when he wrote to her a letter dated September 6, 1840, con= taming "Our mutual happiness," " My own," &c, " It vias . the wild and ardent dreanrofemy youth, and it is the en during ;" "would that, &c., and then a week would make you my own," &c. Then came some others, and after he went to London, one on December 31, 1840 :—" For that one ob ject;' "your dear company;" " it will conduce so much to our eventual happiness ;" "Aearest and best beloved ir "J never forget thetWeet sympathising;" " Dearest Rosina, my life is quite a cheerless existence without you;" " my re ward," Sze. He was at this time about to go up for his ex amination. The 3d February, 1841, " Rest assured," &c. The Bth March, " I remain, my dearest love, as ever; that I um still without the possession of all that's dear to me." In July, 1841, she went on a visit to her aunt's at Shef field, after which he renewed his promises, and mentions " bright scenes of happiness with you, love," four lines of poetry, and " some not far distant day." In Oc tober, 1841, he wrote an excuse about driving the lady in the gig at Heanor, and said that his resolution was that his next visit should be to the plaintiff alone. On the 18th of October, she wrote to him a somewhat severely re proachful but not unmerited letter- 4. Very much hurt; had heard it from some one else; should have thought that he had trifled with her feelings long enough, and now remain, my own dear Richard, yours truly," &c. In letter of 4th of March, 1842, he thanks her for some little present, and ex cused his diminished number and length of letters, and nua.ber of visits; he had "hardly time to 'eat ; illness all around him ; election of surgeons for the union, and he was a candidate." Next letter—" progressing in his business"— " been appointed to union contrary to his highest expecta tions, though only resident for two years"—" to adorn the cottage that some day ere long will be the residence of my Rosina," &c. The next letter, however, shortly afterwards, was ominous—" The early advent of that period depended not so much on him as on some one else who had not yet figured on the stage," but concluded, "your faithful and affectionate ;" and it was at this time that he was proposing marriage to another person. On the 25th of March she writes, referring to the passage just stated, expressing her surprise, saying she knew of no one who could have a right, or to whose interest it could be to interfere, and beseeching him to tell her everything and be as candid as she was, and adds that it was now three months since she had seen him, and they were only seven miles apart, and she heard a good deal that was very unpleasant to her to hear. His reply still spoke of " the ardent and continued desire of her ardently and devotedly attached," &c. Shortly after this the mask began to be removed,. by the representations about failure, ruin, and going to the dogs, and then to sea, and then the farce about the examining of the books. On the 25th of November he wrote not to her, but to her mother, "Dear Madam, will you be kind enough to let me know how our dear Rosina is ?" On the 6th of December the brother wrote to him " Dear Richard," upon hearing from home of the illnessof his sister, speaking of the opportunity:it afforded him to be explicit, and telling him that these disappointments must occasion these repeated illnesses. On the 20th of De cember the defendant replied, " Dear, Robert, I am not at all surprised to hear from you"—with great propriety of delicacy—" I have risked my all upon the hazard of the cast, and I have lost—utterly ruined, &c„ and going to sea. There is no other censure to be cast upon me beyond the blame of being unsuccessful and unfortunate. I have ever loved Rosina too well to link her to a destiny of misfortune," &c. The brother's letter of the 19th ofJanuary, 1843, "Sir," speaks of his sister's severe illness, which he believed his conduct towards her had mainly caused, says that, he had managed to make her miserable, and. continued very naturally in reproachful tenor," _ g ad tamasthroughout. On the 18th of February, 1843, bo-wroie to this poor girl the decisive epistle which commenced with " My dear Rosina,--It is useless any longer to hope against hope. I have ever loved you fondly and faithfully. I hoped to have overpowered my embarrass• ments, but they have overpowered me instead. I am surrounded by them, which are yearly, monthly, and hourly increasing, &c. from this earthly state oh the last three years such another—a home on the warren. Zco othog elte=ittivo but to nap I lava HUMFREY then proceeded to address the jury on be half of the defendant. This unfortunate engagement had begun between boy and girl, when his client was about eighteen years old (query nearly 20), and when the mother ought not, he must be allowed to say, to have permitted it, against the wish of the defendant's mother, and in the teeth of the remonstrances of his master or employer; and it had been kept alive at a subsequent period from the unwillingness of the defendant to break it off until he could no longer disguise from himself the madness of proceeding with it further, and the cruelty to wards this young lady herself of carrying it on to a con summation which must have been calamitous, and productive of misery to both. The defendant's mother was the daughter of a labouring man, and she herself kept a huckster's shop. -His two brothers worked in the lace frames; and his mother and sisters were probably nearly dependent upon him. What was his condition to marry a lady by birth and education, when there was no money. on her side? How was he to support her, and probably a family? He must repeat that the girl's mother ought not to have allowed him, circum stanced as he was, his motlier and master objecting, to be come upon terms so familiar with her daughter. Well, he did try to break it off—thinking it utterly hopeless, as in truth it was ; and he must say that it would have been better for both if her mother had •listened to the voice of reason in 1842, when the Conviction of impracticability had forced itself upon his mind, andie first avowed it. He did not question that this young lady had suffered distress and pain at the disappointment, but he had been, at one time, as much attached to her as she had been to him. His course had been 'dictated by iniperaeivemeeessity ) foundectupon ex perience and trial. It had been said that his sister lived with him, and if he could support her he could support a wife. One moment's reflection would show them the utter fallacy of that proposition. Besides, it was plain that his sister performed all the menial offices of the household, as sisted only by a boy, engaged also in the apothecary's shop, and about the horses that the defendant's business required him to keep. Could he have placed his wife in such a posi tion? He told them he was embarrassed, and it was per fectly true that he was so. The payment of the interest of the mortgage did devolve upon him. The letter to the bro ther surely put an end to it ; and, if not that even, his re turning the letters and asking for his own, a year and a half after that, must have done so. The brother had said that he was not surprised, and partially satisfied, with his letter ; and showed no doubt to have existed at all in his mind at that time as to the truth of his statement respecting his cir cumstances. The defendant's endorsement on the letter of his mother, which he returned to her, which had excited some mirth, was, he thought, very reasonable. " To what strange uses may w e come, Horatio ?" occurred very naturally to him when he learned from that lady that her daughter's love letters to him and his to her, written in the ardour of affection, were to be sent to that most unromantic of mankind, an attorney—letters written in the confidence of affection, for the perusal of Mr. Moss and his clerks. His Learned Friend bad said that now that the young lady was twenty-eight 3 ears old, all her charms and attractions had of course gone, and she would never get a husband. He hoped that his Learned Friend would not be mobbed as he went out of Court, because he knew that ladies never attained to the acknowledged age of twenty eight. His Learned Friend cried out, " How very unlikely, gentlemen, she was to get a husband now." He didn't see that at all. He admitted that this young lady must have the verdict, but he confidently submitted to them that under all the circumstances of this case, where a mother had so en couraged a lad of 18, an apprentice only, to commence and get involved in this unfortunate engagement, from which he had never after been able to get himself released, the damage should be very moderate indeed. The compensation sought was for what the plaintiff had lost by his not marrying her ; if he bad married her he would not have had the other lady's money, unless he bad married them both. What right could this young lady possibly have to dip her hand into the pocket of the young lady who had innocently and unconsciously of all this become the wife of the defendant? In conclusion, he begged of them to remember that this was a poor country apothecary, making about 2001. per annum, out of which he had to find drugs for the poor, to keep. at least, one if not two horses, a house over his head, a shop forming part of it, and a boy. Mr. Justice PATTESON summed up, The jury deliberated for a very few minutes, and then re turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 2001.

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, fer they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understanl ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times. except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, o 1 human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician auy more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and fliture race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which •Ls..herein faithflilly imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation 3f our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations.

ROSS and SONS most respectfully inform the Public that they have succeeded in producing a POMADE, that, after the Hair has . once been thoroughly Dyed by their ATRAPILATOItY, will keep it in the most beautiful order, and prevent it again showing grey, with no more trouble than applying any other sort of Grease to it. EYEBROWS, MOUSTACHES, and WHIS KERS produced in a few weeks by using an essential Spirit drawn from choice Aromatic Herbs, the peculiar properties of which are known only to the Inventor, and although perfectly inno cent in itself, will produce new Hair on bald places, caused by weak ness of constitution, or where Nature has not bestowed this orna ment of the human figure. It has been known to many of the Nobl .ity and Gentry upwards of eleven years, some of whom the Inven tor most sincerely thanks for their attestation of its merits, in the certainty of restoring Hair and giving it additional lustre and strength. Its virtues are manifold—lt prevents the Hair from fall ing off or turning gray ; a few drops on the crown of the head will remove the most distressing pain in that fart produced by or at tended with faintness; and is acknowledged by the Faculty as the only specific known to cure that disease of the. head called Porigo de calvans (which causes the Hair to come off in patches) ; a few applications remove dandriff. This wonderibl discovery is fully ex plained in a pamphlet, containing testimonials to its regenerating new Hair upon bald places, entitled, " Three Minutes' Advice on the Growth and Preservation of the Human Hair," by W Drienstone, Inventor of the Aromatic Regenerator for the Growth . fthe Human Hair, and a certain preventative of headache and fainting ; also a toilet perfume—bearing the Inventor's signature, Herbary, High gate, near London.

The LORD CHAlNCELLOlL6;;jUdiWeniiiiiiiis case, over ruling the decision of the Vice-Chancellor, and ordering the bill to be dimissed. • His Lordship afterwards proceeded to hear petitions it lunacy, most of which were unopposed. IN RE DICE SOMBRE. Mr. ROLT stated that this was a petition presented by Mr. Dyce Sombre, whose unfortunate case has been frequently before the Court, and it prayed that the commission of lunacy issued against him might be suspended without his being compelled to leave France, and come within the jurisdiction of the Court. Mr. Sombre was most anxious that the facts relating to his state of mind should be most fully investi gated ; and although not within his Lordship's jurisdiction, he pledged himself to abide by any order the Court might think proper to make. The Learned Counsel then went into a history of the case, and read the affidavits of most eminent medical gentlemen, which he thought would con vince his Lordship that the commission of lunacy ought to be superseded. Mr. BETRELL was heard on the other side in support of retaining the commission, and he argued that Mr. Sombre's state of mind was still diseased, and that be was utterly incompetent of managing his own affairs. The LORD CHANCELLOR directed that two medical gentle men, Dr. Bright and Dr. Southey, should see Mr. Dyce Sombre and report upon his state of mind, and that for that purpose he must come to Dover, and remain there until these physicians, whom his Lordship would instruct for the purpose, had completed their inquiries. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. 3011 IE ClRCUlT.—Guildford, July 31. The Commission for the 'bounty of Surrey was opened here on Thursday, and business was proceeded with in both courts this morning at ten o'clock. Mr. Baron Parke presiding at Nisi Prius, and Mr. Justice Coltman in the Crown Court. The business on the civil side is heavy, there being a hundred cases entered for trial, nine of which are special jury cases. There are only twenty prisoners for trial, and it is computed that the criminal business will be got through to-day (Saturday), and it is arranged that Mr. Justice Coltman shall then try the last thirty common jury cases. The first special jury cause is fixed for Wednesday, and the others will be taken afterwards in their order. The cases tried yesterday in both courts were entirely devoid of interest to the public. WESTERN CI RC U T.—Exeter, Thursday, July 30, CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron PLArr.) Mary Anne Austin was indicted for stealing a pin, the property of William Carr. The real state of this case is rather peculiar. A man of the name of John Wilson was in the band of the Coldstream Guards; he deserted, and then took the name of William Carr. He married a woman under that name. He enlisted in another regiment under the name of William Carr, and served three years in Spain, and answered to the muster roll under that name. He then returned to England and gave himself up as a deserter in his proper name of John Wilson. This pin having been stolen from his wife, and she having been married to him under the name of William Carr, the property in the indictment was laid as being that of William Carr. When the case came on, it being proved that the man's real name was John Wilson, Mr. Baron Platt directed an acquittal. The prisoner was then indicted for stealing the pin, the property of John Wilson, otherwise known by the name of William Carr. Upon the arraignment a plea of autre fois acquit was put in, and it was contended for the prisoner that this was one and the same felony, and that therefore the prisoner could not be again put upon her trial for the same offence, and a dictum from Hawkins was cited to show that if a party was indicted for taking the goods of A, and they turned out to be the goods of B, ho could not be afterwards tried for taking the goods of B, because it was one and the same offence. _ _ _ Mr. Baron PLATT said, he entertained a strong opinion that it was not the same felony, but the case in Hawkins, rather staggered- him, and therefore he would consult his brother Judge. His LORDSI;IP, having returned, stated that Mr. Justice Erle thought the issue of fact, whether it was one and the same felony, ought to be tried by the jury. The attorney for the prisoner was then called, and he stated that he was present at the former trial, and that the prisoner was acquitted on the ground of the pin being the property of John Wilson, and not of William Carr, as laid in the indictment. . • _ _ _ The Learned JUDGE then put it to the jury whether the prisoner having been acquitted of stealing property belonging to William Carr, and being now indicted for stealing pro perty belonging to John Wilson, they were of opinion that the felony with which the prisoner was now charged was the same of which the prisoner had been before acquitted. The jury returned a verdict that it was the same felony, and therefore the prisoner was discharged. John Westaway was indicted for the manslaughter of Wil liam Tucker, at Torquay, on the Ist of April. Mr. Houldsworth was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Collier for the prisoner. The evidence showed that the primmer was employed in blasting a rock near a toad at Torquay, from which it was distant seventy feet. Some part of the rock upon one of these explosions struck the deceased, who was on the public road, and killed him. Mr. Baron PLATT said, that these explosions so near the public highway were a public nuisance, and that the public did not seem to understand their rights. rersoTt were not justified in committing such dangerous acts. The master who employed a party co do such an act was as much amen able as the man who by his own hand committed it. A high way was for the accommodation of the public, and he who invaded the safety of that highway was guilty of a nuisance, and rendered himself liable to punishment. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy. Mr. Baron PLATT, in addressing the prisoner, who was much distressed, said that - he appeared to be an industrious man, earning his bread by honest means, and evidently was not aware of the dangerous act he was committing. His was not a case for severity. Taking into consideration the recommendation of the jury, the length of time he had been in gaol (since April 3), and all the circumstances of the case, the sentence was that he sho u ld b e i m p r i so ned for one fort night, without hard labour. It is to be hoped that this will have the effect of putting a stop to this most dangerous practice. Aaron Floyd Norris was indicted for stealing three sheep on the Ist of July at Payhembury, the property of William and Charles Pratt. Mr. Kekewich was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Greenwood defended the prisoner. From the evidence, it appeared that on the Ist of July three sheep were missed from a flock belonging to the prose cutors, which were in a field at Rye-park the previous night. Inquiries were directly made in the neighbourhood as to any parties who had been seen in the neighbourhood, and upon whom any suspicion might by possibility fall. It then seemed that on the afternoon of the 30th of June the pri soner was seen drinking at a public-house at Culmstock, some short distance from the estate of the prosecutor; he after- Wards rode away upon a bay horse. About 11 o'clock that night he came again to the public-house, and said he had been riding 42 miles. After taking refreshment he went away, riding in a direction towards the prosecutor's. He had not any sheep with him at that time. About 4 o'clock the next morning a person who lived on the road between Rye park and the prisoner's house was disturbed by a noise; he looked out of his window, and saw a man riding on a bay horse and driving before him three sheep, and soon after this the prisoner was seen near his own house driving three sheep, and the man said to hiM, " Well,butcher, where did you buy these ?" to which the prisoner answered, " At Taunton." In conzequence of these circumstances, suspicion attached to the prisoner, who was a hatcher. A search warrant was obtained, and the carcases of three sheep were found, and the heads corresponded with those which had been stolen. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced, to ten years' transportatiop. Piilatith Richards indicted for setting Ire to a farm house at Tiverton on the sth June. --- Mr. - Tyrrell conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Cox defended the prisoner. _ _ _ It appeared that the prosecutor occupied a farm at Tiver ton; the prisoner was in his service, she was only 15 years of age, andlhaving stayed out, all night her mistress had scolded her. On the night of the 4th of June an alarm of fire was given, and it was found that the house was on fire in four different places; the fire, however, was got under, but the prosecutor and two other men sat up all night watching the premises. No suspicion was then entertained that the prisoner had anything to do with the fire. The next night the prisoner herself told the prosecutor, that she sew a light in the thatch, and that it was on fire. From some particular circumstances the prosecutor was then in duced to suspect the prisoner. She was searched and a in citer match was found in her pocket. She said, " I had two lucifer matches. I lighted one, and set fire to the straw. I hope you will forgive me." The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, but begged to re commend the prisoner to mercy on account of her youth. In this recommendation the prosecutor joined. The Learned BARON, who was dreadfully affected, ordered her to be brought up for sentence to-morrow, but at a late hour in the evening his Lordship directed judgment of death to be recorded against her. Two women were convicted of setting fire to a rick, and were sentenced to fifteen years transportation. P and Mr. Green (Before Mr ROGERS, Q.C.)

Harvey offered to get up and make her some tea, but she would not allow her to do so. Harvey got up early, leaving the prisoner in bed. About seven o'clock Harvey went up stairs and told her that they all believed something wrong had happened. The prisonerassured her she was mistaken, and asked her how she could accuse her of such a thing. About eight o'clock one of the servants went into the bedroom and saw the prisoner put a bundle into her box. Harvey then went into the room again, and said they were positive that she had been confined or had mis carried, and she insisted upon looking into her box. The prisoner said, " Well, Harvey, if you must, you must," and she unlocked her box, and said, " Now I'm ruined for ever; what shall I do?" As soon as the box was opened the body of a newly-born child was seen. The prisoner said, "There's the baby ; I'm happy to say I used no violence towards it." Under ebody different baby clothes were found. The prisoner said she had been deli vered at 4 o'clock that morning, and that the body had lain by her side till 8 o'clock, when she put it into her box- The surgeon deposed that the child was still-born. From all the circumstances it was evident that the unfortunate girl had made preparation for the birth, and that had the child been born alive she would have taken care of it ; but it being still-botn, she had clung to the hope that her character might yet be preserved, for no one had suspected her condi tion, and her character stood high, and therefore she had then determined if possible to conceal her shame, and had not ac quainted her fellow-servant with the fact.
