WINCHESTER, Juinr'' 14. CIVIL SIDE. . •. (Before Mr. Justice LtvenEDant and a Special JUry.) nine v. DAVID WOLF. Mr: ERSKrKE opened the pleadings, rind said, the present was an information which had been fil nd in the Court ot' Bench against the defendant, who was accused of having as saulted and obstructed, in the execution of their duty, two Of ficer's of his Majesty's Revenue. Mr. Sergeant WLDE felt, that in. stating the particulars of -the transaction out of which the preseacase had grown, he had a.painful duty. to discharge, but one from' the fulfilment of which it was impossible foe hirn to shrink or turn aside. The charge against-the defendant in this action was, that in conjunc, :tiOn with some other individuals he had assisted in an attack uPon the Officers of his Majesty's Revenue, and rescued some casks supposed to contain contraband spirits, which had ,i)ee.n seized by the Offiders in the ordinary discharge of their duty. If the defendant were guilty of the offence imputed to him, it: was one of a very serious nature, and he must be content to undergo the punishment attendant upon his .crime. The transaction that gave rise to the present prosecutiOn occurred on the night of the 18th of January, in the present year. On that night he was instructed, •it would appear from the evidence shortly to be laid before the Jury, that John Cheethain, Re venue Officer, accompanied by Clarke, were put on duty in a place called Fozley, near Southampton, with a view of seizing some contraband articles which they had been informed were secreted in that neighbourhood. They had not been long on the watch, when they perceived a man on horseback, who passed near them, looking round in every direction, and appearing to take every precaution to prevent a surprise. Shortly after he was followed by several carts loaded with what the officers con ceived to be articles of contraband traffic.. Each cart was at tended by men, but the officers, unintimidated by the apparent danger of the attempt, seized on the goods in despite 'of the exertions of the smugglers to'prevent them • and having ob tained possession of the cargo, were proceeding to deposit it in the revenue stores, when they were assailed by a superior force, treated with the utmost violence, and the spirits forcibly rescued from their possession. The offence with which the defendant was charged was for assisting in. the attack to which. he had adverted, and the particulars of which would be, de tailed to the Jury in evidence. To prove that the defendant took an active part in the outrage, the two officers-would be called, and he understood that one of them could positively identify the defendant as having assisted in the attack and subsequent rescue. He understood the .defendant intended to contest the fact, and meet ,the evidence of Cheetham by an at tempt to eatablish . an alibi. If he had justice on his side, no man was more desirous of his success than himself, but h e must say,.from all th a t h e h a d been able to collect, the evi. dence was oC too conclusive a nature to admit of any refuta tion .other than that which would carry along with it the ,highest degree of moral and legal certainty. 'With regard_ to the peculiar d e f e n ce u p on which he understood th e defendant to rely, he must say say there existed no species of evidence that required greater attention than that upon which alibis were usually grounded, and that no kind of defence should be exa mined .with more caution, or received with a greater. degree of Suspicion. It usually happened, however, that those defences, when insincere, carried their own refutation along with them; for it was a matter of no unfrequent occurrence, that they de feated their own object by an over-anxiety to accomplish it: An individual who had been really engaged in his lawful call ing or occupation might, and generally did, find considerable difficulty in establishing an alibi if accused of the commission of a crime. This was perheps the reason why thi s s p ec i es o f defence, fell to the lot of the experienced offender, and was sel dom adopted by the innocent, or at least in a much less degree than might be inconsiderately supposed upon the first view of the case. It was easy enough to imagine an alibi, .but hard to make one out in a satisfactory manner. An honest individual might very readily encounter great difficulty in bringing any one to prove where he was on a particular day; nay, a man who had not turned his attention to such matters night not be at once able to say himself where he was on a giien time, and in what occupation he was then engaged. But the p rac ti se d o ff en d er had to struggle with non e othose difficulties, and were it not for the circumstance of his over-scrupulousness, and a certain sus-, picions accuracy of proof, always an invariable attendant upon artificial alibis, he might more frequently escape. He came prepared with minutiae of which an honest man would have never dreamed, or at least never have noted ; and in that manner frequently convicted himself in the apprehensions ofi all thinking men. How far the Jury would feel inclined to credit the defendant's representations ' if they partook o f t hi s . character, it was n o t f or hi m to say a but he entreated them to look narrowly into the circumstances of the case, and examine the manner of the witnesses, to weigh the probability of the facts, and, in a word, to make use, of all those necessary pre cautions so requisite in order to enable them to come to a satis factory conclusion. If they shoald be disposed to entertain any doubts on the case he would now submit to their consideration, or if they thought the identity of the d e f en d ant , or t h e p a rt he was alleged to - have'acted in those transactions, not sufficiently established, let them give the defendant the benefit of their ' doubts; but if it were otherwise, then let the Jury recollect the duty they owed to the country and themselves, and by their verdict take the best means of discountenancing and preventing the illegal proceedings that had given rise to the present action. John Cheethain sworn examined—He was coast-guard at Southampton on Jan. 18 ; was called out at one o'clock in the morning of that day on duty. Ile was accompanied by Clarke. They proceeded about two miles on the Bewley road inland in the direction of the forest, and concealed themselves in a bush, where they remained for a short time on the watch for smugglers ; this was in a lane off the road. They had not re mained very long, when, as near as he could conjecture about three o'clock, they observed a man coming towards them in the direction of Bewley, mounted on a pony. The man looked about him in a suspicious manner ; he could see that, for it was a fine clear night, though not moon-light. In:aboait 5 minutes afterwards they heard carts coming, and pulled Off th,ek coais.in order that they might be ready to meet then.'" Directly they saw three carts, laden with small casks, comiinealong.the lane,. The casks were capable of c o n t a i n i ng about three gallons and a half each. Ten or fifteen persons accompanied the carts. Wit ness anti his comrade stopped the first that came up,' and backed it into the ditch. They then passed by the second cart and pro ceeded to the third, which they also backed into the ditch in the. same manner as the first. - The road was of such • &width that two carts could pass, but it would . br with some 'difficulty.— Tile men. made off, and he and Clarke got the two carts out of the ditch, the men succeeding in carrying off the'third. There were two horses to each cart. Witness took one, and Clarke the other, and they were proceeding towards Forley, when having gotten about a mile from • the place . where they had taken the carts, near a narrow lane, he heard Clarke, who was behind, calling out for help. Immediately he stopped the cart he was driving, and went back towards Clarke.' On arriving at the, spot, he found Clarke surrounded by a nutnber of men, who were holding him ' and witness called out to:themn to let him go. He had his pistols and cutlass, and with the latter succeded in driving one of the assailants away; but he was seized in turn himself, he could not tell by whom, a man having caaght hine behind and pinioned his arms ; others of the party took his pistols and cutlass, and threw them over the hedge. They kept him in that situation until the carts were taken away. Mean time witness received one blow on his head, and another on his hand. Wolfe was one of the party, and drove away a' cart himself n he was sure of it, because tie' knew Wolfe,. who was a painter, residing at Harleigh, in Fozley parish.' The smug glers offered witness a bribe, several men holding him at the time. They first offered to give him five, and -afterwards ten pounds, which he refused. When they found him persist, they took his hat ()frills head, and put notes into ,it, which he re turned. At the same time they were holding Clarke, and offer ing him money also; and finding him persist in refusing to ac cept it, they forced the money into his neckcloth, One of the men who was holding the carts, called out lo the others, and de sired them to drive away the carts. They' then took his hat away, and carried it up the road and left him. He afterwards got his hat, and found five 11. notes inside it. Next day, be discovered a tub on the road, and took it to Sbuthampton with him. Cross-examined—Has been in the service of the revenue five years. Went to Mr. Carter after this business. _Mr. Carter. is principal, boatman. He never took money. Clarke'was abOut 10 vards distant from him during the conversation with Mr. Carter. - Y r, Carter was at that time living at the !... , use of Peter Wes'. SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 1825. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HERTFORD. TiirrnsflaY, Jtruir 14. CIVIL SIDE. CRTM. CON.—DOLLING V. WILDIIOIIE. Mr. PLATT opened the pleadings. Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE detailed the case as follows t—Tlia plaintiff resided iu the town of St. Alban's, and was possessed of property; he was the father of eight children, who were ail. still living. His wife was shout the 'same age as iinself.. The. defendant was about sixty, but his' wife . was ndt living; • he had a family who were'now arrivcd.at maturity, and for a con sideeable period he kept the Blue _Roar Inn at St. Alban's. Both the parties had been on terms of intimacy The affair • which led to the present investigation occurred in the month of March last, and .would be distinctly tir,a)ed by the evidence. The marriage of the plaintiff and his wife was proved to have been solemnized in April, 1809, at Redburne. Joseph Parles, examined by-Mr. PLATT.—llcnow the plain .tiff and his wife, and also. the. defenda.nt. In March last.the. plaintiff's wife was at the shop of Stnithers, a linen-draper in St. Alban's; it was abOtit - nine.o'clock in the evening. .While . she was there, I perceiVed the defendant passing, - He made a stop. Shortly a ft er , M rs. D o lli ng quitted...that:hop, when she was accosted by the defendant near tlie.Bootpublic-house across the road. They spoke to each other, and then separated—the defendant to the right hand, and plaintiff's wife straight for ward. I followed, and saw them meet near the Pea Hen, just at the entrance of the town. They walked down the London road, and then passed throngh a gate into a fi e ld o f M r . Goff's. (The witness desc r ib e d what passed, which, if 'entitled to credit, could leave no . dOubt of the criminality of the parties.) . I spoke to the defendant, and told him I knew him, and who he was with. The' defendant said he would satisfy me, if I would ac company him. He knew me, and took me to Kinder's-gate, and gave us ss. - each. I went away. Lines was with me. Cross-eXarnined.:—The- night was cold ; it was not moon. light ; it was . starlight, but rather lowery. The lamps were lighted on the. evening in question. I did work at a hat manu factory. _I have quitted St. Alban's three months. I have since asked money of the defendant, and have received it. He gave us ss. each and some . I afterwards asked the plaintiff's wife for money ; she threatened to send for an officer and send us to gaol. I went away. I (lid not then inform the plaintiff: I subsequently saw him at a public-house, and. I understood he knew it. I .now work on, the road. Previously to that I kept a cart and horse and du; .gravel. • When I dal- Jenged the defendant; and said it was Mrs. Dolling, he de-. 'nied it. Re-examined.—I have known her 14 or 15 years. 1 have no doubt it was her. I called her by her name, and took hold of her clnak. She never spoke, hat lam sure it was her. Thomas Lines examined.— I have knOwn the plaintiff's wife, seven years. I saw her in Smither's shop one evening in March .last. The defendant passed. I was with the last witness at the time. (The witness confirmed the last mau as to what transpired, as detailed by him.) Cross-examined.—l work at a hat manufactory. I then worked at a cotton factory. I called on , the defendant, and told hint I had no money, and he gave me some. We also went*to Mrs. Dolling. The Lord Chief Justice BEST.—You went to get money ; a more scandalous transaction there never was: Cross-examination continued.—My father_ lived in a • house belonging to the plaintiff'. Mrs. polling managed his aff"aits money matters, and she•put a distress into my father's house once or twice. William Hurst deposed as f , )llo*s t atn- a 'shoerrialter, and belong tolhe - Hertfordshire . [know. the plaintiff and the defendant. I know the plaintiff's wife 1 have oftep seen her and the defendant in a situation which led Me to conclude an improper connection existed between them, and that on the plaintiff's own premises. It seas ten Years ago. I.mentioned ' it. I could not then prove it. The plaintiff instituted a pro.: °ceding against me in the F4tclesiastical Court, and I paid 201. to stay the proceedings. 1 saw the plaintiff's wife and the de. tendant coming . front a shed, in IP2I, on 14rd - Verularn's grounds. I did not mention it to any one,. • becayse I got into trouble before for it. ' Cross-examinedL-.1 never said that what I have reported was untrue. '- Mary Willoughby stated she kneed the plaintiff and his -rife up to last-March. They:seemed to live happy together. They have eight children, the :youngest is two years old. In croasceitantination she said, some time before this transac tion Mrs. Dolling.swore'ber life against the plaintiff, and her (witneSs'sYhiisiband 'was' bound for him. Mr. ADOLPHUS addressed the Jury in an eloquent speech on the part .of the defendant. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up, animadverted strongly on the conduct of the plaintiff's two Witnesses, Panes and Lines, and . Said if such testimony as their': could be cre dited, no man's life or character would be free from danger in future. It was, however, their province to look to the whole of the case, and pronounce their verdict accordingly. The Jury, without quitting the box, found a verdict for the• defendant. FRIDAY, JULY 15. WEEDON versus MORGAN. The plaintiff', Mr. Weedon, is a paper-maker, in a n exten sive way of b u si ness' ' whose mill is situated on a c urren t o f water called the Loudwater-stream, near Ricktuansworth.-- The defendant, Mrs. Morgan, is a lady •of considerable for= tune, who in 1820 purchased some property in, the nighbour hood of the mill ; and the present action was brought on account of her causing to he thrown into this stream a quantity of stones and rubbish, by which an obstruction was created to the power of the water-wheel, by penning back the water upOn the tail of the mill. A former action upon the same circumstances Was tried at the last Assizes in March, when the plaintiff' recovered 601. damages. The present action was brought for a cnntinuance of the obstruction from the time of the declaration in the former cause. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE interrupted Mr. Bolland, who led for the plaintiff, by recommending that the matter in con test should be referred to some person who might regulate the right of the parties. - ' The Learned Counsel immediately expressed a willingness to adopt the course which had been proposed, with a view to put an end to further litigation ' - indeed, he was hims e lf on the part of Mr. Weedon instructed to make the overture. He . had no wish in doing so to excite any tiling like prejudice. He again would make the offer in the truest spirit of conciliation. Mr. Serjeant TAnDY, who represented the defendant, said his instructions prohibited hint from adopting the course pro.. posed, which otherwise personally, perhaps, he should have thought the better course.

CAUTION .A4AINsT ITINERANT Book-vENDEns,-- Samuel A r ei . .vtittin, a hawker of books, was indicted . for steal ing a watch, seal, &c. from the dwelling house of George Pol. lard, at Hoildesdon. ' It appeared the prisoner had been leaving catalogues of pub. lications at seVeral houses in the tillage of lioddeson. The pro. secutor's watch and seal had, been hanging in the front room, •and being afterwards missed, a person was sent in pursuit of the prisoner, whos6 appearance had excited suspicion:. On being approached, he threw Something in a hedge, - which on being searched for prOved to be the watch, tied up in a hankerchief. The prisoner at first alleged his innocence, and expresseda wil lingness to be seareed, but subsequently ackno , ,vledged the theft, and asked to he set at liberty. The prisoner being called on for his defence, stated he had bought the watch on the road for TOs., and having heard some rumour ofa watch being lost, • to avoid any '.suspicion put the watch in the hldge, but denied having, admitted his guilt when apprehended.—The Jury found the prisoner James Wrench was indicted for stealing a bay mare, the property of William Rashbrookc.

The County of Middlesex appears, by the Re ports of the House of Commons, to have 157 miles of_ road, with an average income, of 6081. per mate, and an average expenditure of 5481., leaving a surplus of 601. per mile. Among the, minutes of evidence annexed to the last Report is a letter from Messrs. INPADANI and COOK, who estimate the necessary expellee of maintaining these roads, if once put into a state of perfect re. pair, as follows : For one mile next the stones, per annum - £5OO One-half of the remaining distance, per mile, per ann. 350 The other half, per mile, per annum - 250 Supposing these statements and estimates to be cOrrect, it is self-evident that not only the debts of the different trusts might be soon pa id o ff , but the toll might be considerably and safely re duced. The present cost of keeping up the roads is at least a third more than is necessary upon a good system.: A suggestion has been made that all toil•gates• should be . abolished, and an addi tional tax for the maintenance of roads paid upon hOrws, carts, and carriages.• Though the stop pages at toll-gates are an evil, yet there would be an injustice in . the commutation tax proposed, which would be, perhaps, worse than the trouble we should get rid of. The tax for turnpike roads is now paid in the fairest manner, viz, by those who travel over them, and in proportion as they are likely to make them need repair. On the other hand, the commutation tax would fall as heavily upo n -th e carr i ages of the resident coun try Gentry, who only use them to be trundled over the parish roads (whiCh they pay in another shape for maintaining) to the next church, as upon those of the most desperate tourists. At a late meeting of the Royal Academy of Sciences at Paris, M. GEOFFREY ST. HILAIRE stated, that there exists in Egypt a reptile, which posses se s in a high degre e the property of changing colour in the same manner. as the chameleon. It is proposed by the society to send in search of this rare reptile. By a late examination of the chameleon by Arago, the learned naturalist, he has discovered that the alterations of colours in this animal are much more marked than they have hitherto been described by historians: A commis ajar) has been appointed, consisting of Messrs. Arago, Fresnil, and Dumeril, to visit the bazaar where chameleons are exhi biting, in order to discover the cause of the variation, which i%I. Arago attributes to some other quality than that known to naturalists under the title of accidental colours, which may be observed on lifeless bodies. During .51. Arago's visit, one of the animals was placed on a board which was of no declared colour, and it immediately changed froM a deep brown to a bright yellow. !The keeper stated that this animal was ordi narili of a fine green, the same. colour as his companion.

Witness told hi m he w he had hpen abused, and produced the notes in his presence. He bad coin , anunicated something of the matter to Westbrook, but not 4)1, ,only mentioning it slightly to him ; but he' might haVe heard him; talk to his companion. Westbrook's brother, William, may have been present, but be did not observe him. NI illiant and Peter Westbrook both live at Porley, and Wolfe lives in the. same. parish. He, witness, did not mentionto his 'compa nions that he had seen Wolfe on the night of the 18th Ja nuary, because it•would not have been advisable to mention it in that place.. Wolfe continued in the place a month alter the 18th of January, and Witness saw him often, Will in publicAouses and in the streets. Witness never said the anen with the carts were all stout men, and not one shorter than White whit kept the inn, nor any thing to that effect. When he went to call on Mr. Carter, Westbrook open .d the'cloor him. He does not recollect Carter asking him in the presence of Westbrook why he did not. fire his pistols, and assigning as a reason for not doing so that they were all stout men who attacked him. Witness told .11r. Carter he knew.one of the men; and told. him his name in the course of the day, but does not know whe ther he did on the first occasion. He can't tell how long it was before the man surrendered; thinks it was in April, that was two or three ,months after the 18th January; but he did not give himself up.till the warrant for his apprehension had been issued. Witness had sometimes drank with Wolfe 'since the affair. lie had frequently taken drink with him since that time. Re-examined.—Viritness did not mention the name of lirolee in the presence of WestbroOk, because the latter was not one or his Majesty's subjects—(a laugh)—he meant to say, one of 1)13 Majesty's Of f icers. He did not apprehend Wolfe when he met him in public-houses, having been directed to keep the matter a secret. • Witness sweats he mentioned Wolfe's name to his inspector, Mr. Watling, at the house of the latter; on . the day after the attack. John Clarke, another Revenue Officer, corroborated the evi dence of the last witness. Captain Watling.—Cheetham and Clarke, on the 19th Jan., communicated to him the affair ofithe preceding night, and gave up the five one-pound notes to him, which were Ring. wood notes. 'Witness made out and dispatched his report of the circumstance on the 20th January, the . day after he had seen Cheetham and tlarke. • - • The case for the prosecution being closed— Mr. c. F.11 7 1r.i.1.1ms addressed the Jury for the defendant, and called. the following witnesses. Peter - Westbrook examined—ls a sailor, and lives at Forley. Has done so since his childhood. Mr. Carter lived tri his house in January. Cheetham knocked at witness's door at Ihreg, or half-past• three o'clock. Clarke came afterwards. Cheethatn and Clarke conversed with Mr. Carter, and gave an account of what had occurred. They said they had fallen in with three carts, and represented the men who were with them as all tall, stout men. They s a id th e y were as stout as White, the inn _ keeper, who is a tall and very stout man. Witness asked them if they knew any of the men, and both Clarke and Cheethatn said not. Wolfe is a small man; he, has always borne an ex cellent character. Cross -examined—Witness knows Wolfe these many years ; Is positive Cheetham and Clarke both said the men were stout, William Morris sworn,---Is gamekeeper to Mr. Drummond, and was so in January last ; was out on duty on the 18th if that month, and he ar d carts passing; in each gi r t were two men, and one walking behind ; the carts were heavqz laden ; knows Wolfe these several years; he is an honest inc.ustriaus person. __ Mr. Powell exan - tine&--Has known Wolfe seven or eigbt years; was watching a horse on the 18th January, and mrt three carts about six o'clock, on 'Bewley Manor; the carts were each drawn by three horses, and were loaded, but wit ness did not know with what. There were men • with the • cart ; Wolfe was not among them ; it was dark, but must have known Wolfe had he been there; there were only four men with the carts. • George Wood proved that the defendant worked with him on the 17th and 18th January, and remained with witness till ten o'clock at night on the 18th, in company with another man named Hawkesworth. James Hawkesworth corroborated the statemb►nt of the last witness, and said, after parting from Wood, with sand Wolfe went home together to WOlfe's mother's, Mrs. F. Wolfe said her son, the defendant, slept at home 02 the 18th January. Mr. John Barney gave the defendant a good character. • - Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE charged the Jury, who immv diately returned a verdict of Not _Gtii4. OXFORD, JULY 14. TEE FANCY. • PORTER V. Jlll3ll.—This was an action brought by 3 hair dresser of Oxford, against the defendant, a member of the . fancy, and commonly known by the name of the " Cheltenham Champion," to recover 271. 10s., money lent and advanced by the plaintiff to him.—William Bower proved that the plaintid' had lent the money to the defendant, and that when askecl' to repay it, he promised to do so on 'his return from Cheltenham. The defence set up was, that the money lent was for the purpose of posting the stakes 'in a prize-fight between the defendant and a man named Reid, usually styled " the Chelsea Snob ; " and to make out this case, Mr. Jervis cross-examined the witness Bower, at some length. Mr. JERVis—The plaintiffis called "the Sporting Barber," is he not ? Witness—Yes. Mr. JEnvis,-And you are• the gentleman called ". Black Bill ?" The witness bowed. - Mr. JEtwts—Do not bow, Sir, but answer. Witness-4 am habitually polite.--( Laughter. ) Mr. JERVIS—Don% you know this money was to make good the stakes in a prize fight ? Witness—No, I don't• know any thing about it. Mr. JERVIS—Upon your oath, did you not 'hear from the plaintiff that this money was to constitute part of the stakes, in a tight between Jubb and a man who went, by the name of King, but who, in fact, was Reid, the Chelsea Snob? Wit ness—l don'tknow any thing about it ; I only went to, him to . be shaved.

Mr. JERVIS—Hati you not a bet on this very fight? • Mr. TAUNTON objected to this question as irrelevant. Mr. Baron GARROw confirmed' the objection, and as Mr. Jervis could not substantiate the defence set up, the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff under his Lordship's direction.— Damages, 271. 10s. Mr. Baron GAnnow now observed, that he was very happy to think that the regulations adopted by the University Police would have the effect of preventing any such disgraceful scent. as boxing matches taking place in the University.

THIEF CURIOUSLY DETECTED.—Wedoestbv, William Armour, dyer, Paisley, was convicted before the Jo,. tices -of having stolen a quantity of silk, yarn from hiS em ployers, Messrs. John Gilchrist and Son, dyers, Lonend, and sentenced to 30 days confinement in Brideweli. The manner in which the theft was discovered, and the thief deiected,.is rather curious. For some time past, Messrs. Gilchrist Observed . . an unaccountable diminution occasionally take ;,place in their stock of silk. • Suspecting that some of their Servants were act. ing dishonestly, they concealed a loaded musket, on full cock, amidst. a quantity of , silk, 'and attached' by a string several heads of silk to the trigger of the piece. The stratagem silt- . ceeded. On Monday afternoon the discharge of the 4 un pro:' - claimed the operations of the thief, and on repairing 'to the , spot, -the unfbrtunate culprit was found trembling by the side of the tell-tale musket. Armour is an old soldier, and a pen- ' sioner, and his ear is consequently not unused to the discharge of fire-arms, but he declares that no report of nriusitet or can non, from friend or foe, ever made his heart Loup like Mr. Gil 7: christ's gun.---( Glasgow Courier, July 12.) ao , A c ; • '• • C • ti , 3313: X •' • At no former period has all inclination for . ing operations been so apparent.. .In every quarter of the town - houses of large dimensions are in the course!of erection, and the •• demand for masons is great.
