OLD BAILEY,.SATuRD4Y, Srrr. 18. 'MAL OF HENRY STENT, Tl,is pri.,,ner was pot to the har.—The Court wls almost immediately erow dell with letnalts. A London Jery having been called, the pi isoner was al raigued npon an indictment, charging him in the uknal torn) with leaving inflicted diverse woun , ls upon the person of h s mite, Maria, on the fith of Angus, last, wi.is intent to kill and murder her, or to do her some grievous bodily h erm. He pleaded not guilty. The .Inry was then sworn. There was no Count:4 for pro secution, and Mr. Justice BesTcalled Maria Stew, the wi . e of the prisoner, who stood up its the wit ece,s-box., and was sworn.‘ S!ee was plainly diessed in a coloured bombastic gown, and wore a large Leghorn hat, which ttnded to conceal her fea tures : she seemed to be greatly agitated. reir. ALLEY, one of the Counscl for the prisoner, instantly rose and addressed the Court. He said Ise was wet aware that this witness would have been called so early in the proceedings ; bite being in the box, before she was examined, he telt it his ditty to Submit, that as against tier husband her tevidenre was not admissible. He bad searched the book- with great diligence for cases in which wives had b .en admitted as witnesses against their Fu shands ; but round none except that of Lord Audlry, the circumstances of which were very pe culiar—and even the authority of that case be had beard questioeed. He recollected one. case its which the question would hare arisen, but the bill was ignored. Neyertheless, The opinion of Justice Buller was, on that occasion, against the propriety the testimony of the wife In iteg re ceived He knew.s)(no instance, exce ut in the case Of a rape,-W, ere the testimony of the wife was re ceived against her husband. Mr. Baron. GRAHAM, whO spoke in a very low tone, said, that there were many cases in which •Ise wife was C.ril•idcred a fit Witness against her husbiind, particularly in one where Elie was in a stste of danger fi mil injury uhich she had receiv,d nom hien. In such a c, , se„ where the wife had died, her det,esitiou ver;,s kt,!):l.(pluntly received against lien husband as eve dente eel thejact. Mr ALts'y said, that the piinciple, upon which the 0,.i . /..ore ot a wife against her husbaiid veal re: , jvct,tl tvAs, that .if it were.aritnU.:sible, it would timd•o ex;;i , ediSagreetrrents in thetuartiage state. \‘ 7 hc.re a ipoke " iri periculo mortis" ibis I t rincipt did i•at apply. and t:.et . e . tore the e.inlene rofghl b received; but this was not the case in to pie rot inistac•ce..

Mr. Justice Best proceeded to sum up the evidence. lie deeply regretted the important and paiotol duty which, in the present case, desolved upon himself as well as upon the Jury ; painful, however, ns that ditty was, 'he felt no doubt that they wmild discharge it in a proper manner. The Learned Judge then explained the law upon the tobject. Front the evidence detailed, and which he should:again re.d over to them, no doubt could remain on the mind of any unprejudiced person that the crime charged topol the prisoner mite ,eithio the proei3ions of that most excellent Art of Parliament introduced by the late lamented Chief Justice of the King's Bench, for the pro tection of tlae subject's life. Though it .did not appear in evidence upon the present occasion, the het , however, might fairly be assumed, that Stent, the . unhappy woman , tcho appeared before them on that d.,y, had forsa4en her !ins band, and: by proving unfaithful to his bed, bad inflicted upon him the most poignant anguish, the most acute suffering that a man devoted to a wife could possibly endure. This, however, could by no means be admitted as a justification of Isis crime. The law of the. land upon this subject proceeded upon the same principles as the religion of the country, which was Christianity. if a bus , band detected his wife in the vety fact, in flit grade delick ), as it were, and that at the moment be plunged some deadly weapon into her bosom an aS to oecr.sitin death, it would not be ennsideted murder. Tie law, like the religion of the country, m kith fr,ir allowance the frailties of human na +urc , r~tttAdercrltftelutsband, with such privocation immediately before his eyes, as PO li.rtker under the guidance of reason, and of cootie not acCount able for his acts. re, bow, ver, the circntn stances were vite difFrent. A cocsiderattle time had elapsrd since the elopement of the first wit ness, and on her Jetiarn she manifested those symntonts of repentance-r-that appearance of re- ; turning affection, which might wtll he sitppot.ed to di'sorni vengeance, and prevent ti‘ at I , rociong' porpoSe Which the prisoner appeared to have deli berg tely contemplated. Even while her blood was. flowtog from the wounds inflicted, she still" emreatesl him to kiss her ; and in that kiss e,oveyed a pardon to her assailant. Un der cit - Cm»Si aliCeS such as these, the law did not admit of . the same excuse as when a husband detected his wife in Ike very fact. Sufficient time having been given for coil reffection on one side, and for repentance on the other, the law rroceeditnz on the same ptincipie as the benign religion which it imitated, did not ullow v e n tl e a u c e to be inflicted with Litrmity. After some fttrther , observations, whit h the Leart , ed Judge delivered wi.b great talent and feeling, he summed , up the evidence at length. The Jury then retired, and after consultingfw about half an' hour, returned With a verdict of Guilty, but recommemb-d the prisoner strongly to mercy, on account of his good character. • Mr. Just ice BzsT—The recommendation shall certainly be forwarded. KEYS OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND. .Eiszabeth' Dunham was then pat to the bar, charged with stealing two keys, the , property of the GOvernor and Company at the• Bank of li . lng. land, on the 28th•of August. The prisoner pleaded guilty tl the fact of taking the keys, but would riot admit that it was a theft. She was respectably dressed, and While Mr. Bo sanquet was. stating the ease, ap;)earcii to pay great attention to him, lie said the only object at the Bank itt bringing.forward this prosecution was, that the prisoner might be sent to a place where site could Ie taken proper care of. It ap peared that when her room was searched, there were found not less than 4,000 keys, Arnong t h e m were the keys of the Church Missionary So. ciet y, of the counting•bouse of the D‘tke of York's School, the padlock of Green wich war ch•house, the key of the College of Phy sicians, of tire Royal Exchange. the Temple 'lairs, coon! y prison, Maidstone-gaol, the Council loom, and many others. They were all ticketed, and the d'a'y carefully recorded on which,they were taken. Ir, Bosanquet having closed the case, " Shack well, the porter of the Bank, was called for the purpose of identifying the keys, which Lasing done, the prisoner requested that they Might be Rot into her hands for the purpose of ascertaining whether they ere the same found in , her roots. This being allowed, the moment the poor woman got thtm into her possession, she ex claimed, with to air. of high satisfaction and I r i am ph, 6t Now I haFe got them, 1 sisal! hold them for the rights of my King, my country, and myself." She then Wrapped them tip earefislly in a pocket handkerchief, and said nothirt . g should inittn‘e her to give theM op but a free pardon from the. Prince Regent. The constable whO searched her todgiogs was then examined. Ile stated that I,e tOt;nd there, not less than 4000'keys,ali of which were labelled, ex-pt about 200; Be,,ng cal:ed upon for her defence, she said that she had done all this ; that she bad (alien all the keys for her own tights, which she could not otherwise obtain. She thought that by doing so she would secure her own rights as well as those of her country, as the persons %I to own them would thereby be obliged to come forward and do her j9st ice.

The Jury,under the direction of the Court, ac vitted the prisoner upon the ground of insanity.

The prisoner said he should want aboutfitloo.copie* o! the new engraving struck off: and Mr. Scott also understood' on so large a scale was this work arrangiog, t hat two other fee' reigners. were endeavouring to engage artists in the atetropoljk. to make engraved copies from genuine notes, purpoitingfo tie of the same bank, and the orders which these parties had 'tr . ! ranged, if they had succeed e d their olfeet, would hare eiWg' . each of the three, ir the course of- one month, forgeries Of' the Drontheim Bank-to the amount of 8000!. sterling: the-,11 1 " tinaate operation of which, if thrown into circulation ir, Nor° way, would Mire: been most fatal to the;N:essii , gilin trader* on the coast. Mr. Scott said, that the moinent he had of t o . the bettom,.as he thought, of the prisoner% r:•a intenti o? he had determined to go on with the work so far as the egj cution of the plate, not t o d e li ver it t o th e prisoner; b rit to detect and bring him-to public justice.

Two witnesses proved the translation of the note, as srs forth in the indictment, to be correct, and the note given bc the prisoner to Mr. Scott to be a genuin e one o f th e B a nk Drontheim. The prisoner's Counsel made an attempt to quash the itr dietment, by ,urging objections against the i u rn of the notes° applicable to its description, as set forth in the indictment , but they were over-ruled. The jury found the prisoner 'Guilty, and the Court Woe*, diately sentenced hint to one year's iniprisownebt in the Hass' of Correction. ASSAULTS.
