ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. CHESTER, TUESDAY, AUc. 29. William Newton, aged 40, was put to the bar, charged with having, on the night of Thursday, the 14th of April last, felo niously and burglariously broken open the d welling-house of William Salmon, and stolen therefrom nine bushels of malt, his property. The prisoner is one of the :Most ferocious-looking ruffians we ever saw at the bar of a Court of justice. His dark and matted hair covered a brow which protruded in a most extra ordinary mannerover his eyes, which were sunk deep into - his head: His cheeks were long and haggard, and hi.. mouth of very enormous dimentsions• Ile had a large black beard, and was altogether one of the filthiest objects that ever " graced a gallows, or adorned 'a string." ie ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the facts on which this prosecution was founded, and in doing so, told the Jury that they might'-lay out of their consideration the burglasious entry into the premises, as he had himself examined them:, arid found that the malt-liouse. in which the stealing nad.beat couphitted, Was so disconnected with-the dwelling-house of the pmsecutor, that the charge of burglary could not be sustained. The only question, therefore,. which they would have to decide would be, whether the prisoner at the bar had been guilty of stealing from the prettifies the property mentioned in the indictment. In or der to enable them to decide that question, he called before them the following witnesses : James Gator—l live in Wymonbury, in this cottnty. I know Mr. W. Salmon's malthouse; it adjoins my house. I am a tenant to Mr. W. Salmon for the house, but not for the malthpuse. On the 31st of January last, I was set along with George Baskerville to watch that malthouse. I was also on the watch with him and John Thurston on the 14th April. The watch was set in my bed-room, in the wall of which a hole was made to enable us to see into the malthouse. About one o'clock in the morning of the 15th of April we observed two men with a light in the malthouse. 'By that light I was enabled to .see the priminer's person, _and I have no doubt that be was , one,of the men then in the malthouse. The two men went to the ruck of malt, and put up some of it with a half measure into a bag. We three then left the bed-room, and went to the outer door of the malthouse. We found it closed, but a picklock was in it. I placed myself a little below the doer. Baskerville and Thurston stood before it, and about three yards from it. I looked at the door to see if it opened ; it did not. I then cast my eye along the wall, and observed a flash of powder. At the same time I heard the clash of a trigger. The flash was such as must have come from some sort of fire arms. I then saw two men spring up, one on each side of the malthouse steps. I was near .enough to recognize the persons of one' 'of those. men. It was the prisoner. We then ordered the men to stand. They did not obey the order, but -tan away. I fired with a gun at one of the men, hut not at the prisoner. I then went to the spot where these men had started up, and found alarge bludgeon. I also found three bags of malt, about half filled, on the steps. .Cross-examined by Mr. D. F. JON saw the prisoner by the light which came from the lantern. It was not a corn. mop lantern, , but as I think a dark lantern. 1 did.not mark the prisoner's clothes, but I saw his features. I do not know the colour of his clothes. but I think they were dark. The stars that night gave a glimmering lig►ht.. I had seen the man before, on a moonlight night in January, skullking about the malthOuse. George Baskerville corroborated the testimony of the last witness as to the story which he told regarding the men in the malthouse. He could not, however, identify the prisoner as One of them. There were four men apprehended.on this charge. There were the traces of more ~than two men about the malt• house. John Thurston, who watched with the two last witnesses, identified the prisoner as one of the parties who ran away from the inalthouse. The prisoner protested his innocence. The CHIERJUSTICE summed up the evidence, and the jury immediately returned a verdict of not guilty of burglary, but guilty of grand larceny. The CHIEF JuST tcr, in passing sentence on the prisoner, told him, that if he had been indicted for pulling a trigger with intention to shoot somebody, be must have been convicted, and if he had been convicted, he would inevitably have been left for execution.% He had, however, been indicted for a different of fence, and had only been found guilty of grand larceny. .His Lordship told him, that the greatest punishment which now could be inflicted upon him, was transportation beyond the seas for the space of seven yeat•s ; and to that punish ment he should now undoubtedly sentence him,—Sentenced accordingly. The prisoner solemnly asserted that he had no fare-arms with him on the night in question. German Bradsley, aged 33, was ptit to the bar, charged with having on the 27th of July, uttered certain base and counter feit corn, at Knutsford, and with having other base and coun terfeit coin in his possession. The circumstances of this case lay in a very narrow compass. The prisoner kept a stall for gingerbread at the last Knuts ford races. The prosecutor, who is connected with the police, went to his stall and procured change for half a sovezeig,n. The money was tried, aful in consequence of one of the half crowns being found to be base and counterfeit, the prisoner was apprehended. His person was searched, and there were discovered upon him seven half-crowns, neatly folded in paper so as to prevent the surface and edges of each of them from rubbing against the surface and edges of the others: Some shillings were also found wrapt up with the same care. The half-crowns were cut by an assayer in Court, and all turned out to be made of copper. The prisoner at the t►me of his apprehension had upwards of 871. in cash and good notes in his possession. Mr. D. F. JONES, for the contended that the guilty knowledge was not at all proved by the evidence which had been submitted to the Jury. Niritnesses were called, who gave the prisoner an excellent character. The Jury, however, were of a different opinion, and found the prisoner Guilty. • • The CHIEF JUSTICE, in passing sentence upon him, told him that the punishment inflicted by the law was too lenient for the misdemeanor of which he then stood convicted. Offences of this nature were becoming much too common ; and he should therefore inflict upon him the severest punishment which the law permitted. Ile then sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprisonment in Chester Castle. TEM.i.F., who was with the Attorney-General for the prosecution, suggested to his Lordship, after he had passed the sentence, that, by a recent act, his Lordship had the power of ordering the prisoner to be kept to hard labour during that time. The CHIEF JUSTICE was of opinion that the present case did not require a punishment of that kind to be inflicted on the prisoner. The prisoner complained that certain .property which was found on his .person when he was apprehended had not been restored to him. lie begged his Lordship to make an order that the prosecutor should return him the various notes which he had then taken from him. The prosecutor said that he had . counted over all the notes which he found upon the prisoner in the presence of the Magi strates--that he had since given the amount of them to the pti soner, and that he then held in his hand the prisoner's written receipt for them. At twelve o'clock this day his Majesty's Justices got through the calendar. They then proceeded to try civil causes, of which there are fourteen entered. The first tried was a special jury case—" 3lanifold v. l'innington." It occupied the Court the remainder of the day, but - was of no public interest, merely re lating to the boundaries of two different commons in this county. BARTHOLOMEW. FAlR.—DUrille, 111(' TlftPrllooll of yesterday, Atkins's collection of quadrupeds arrived in Smithfield, contained in about a 1107.(1 waggons, as also Richardson's and other compa nies of bipeds, and took pos , ession of the ground allotted to them. In the coorse Of, the ev en i ng the bustle and confusion becant, nearly.as great . as if the fair had really commenced. Th e noise occasioned by the growling of the animlls, and 'time hammers of the workno.n in erecting the booths, gave " dreadful note of prepara tion" for this unnual civic carnival. POLICE-INTELLIGENCE. THE PUBLIC 7:::ESS, MstcstoN-llousE.—Yesterday Mr. nobler,. jun., the soli citor for the prosecution in the case of Mr. Palin, the straw hat manufacturer, who stands charged with having stolen the four 1,0001. notes froth the Auction Mart, came before the Lend Mayor to answer an attack made upon hint in a Morning Paper, which accused him of having departed from his profes:+ional duty in the conduct Of that case. . Mr. Nobler handed the Lord Mayor the Paper, which ac-. cased his Lordship of having aided him in an endeavour to in duce the prisoner to convict-htmself. Arguing upon the question asked by his Itordship, Whether the prisoner could account sa tisfactorily for having in his possession one of the stolen rote? —it represented this as an inquisitorial questioning of the - pri soner, and said, had he been a mere murderer or so, he would be kindly warned to take care that he did not say any thing which would convict himself. It is insinuated, moreover, that Magistrates, who were men of business, had an exceedingly strong interest in suppressing offences, which were peculiarly in jurious to trade, and that on such occasions they could act with all the promptitude and vigour of a Turkish - Ear that which more particularly applied to .himself, Mr. Hobler de clared he felt himself least conCerned, though he was well as sured, and wished to declare publicly, that nothing had been done in the case, of which the prisoner, his friends, or advisers, could jultly complain. The Loan MAYOR said he never saw an instance which more strongly showed the necessity of a Magistrate's taking care of what words he used in the performance of his duty. Some Gentlemen who were connected with the Public Press seemed anxious to grasp at an accidental expreSsion, if it could be tortured into a meaning different from the intention, and al lowed the whole spirit of the Magistrate's acknowledged object of doing justice in the most merciful mahner to be rendered liable to suspicion or condemned as arbitrary. He did not mean this as an observation which had a general application. He knew that the most respectable and less needy part of the Public Press would not adopt such a practice of attributing bad mo tives on account of a hasty or thoughtless expression, and he believed that a difference in political opinions would not tempt them to the dishonesty of misrepresentation, whatever might be the lack'of news, or of those miraculous circumstances which were so ingeniously accumulated for the purpose of supplying the want of bona/Ide news. Mr. Hobler said, perhaps at this period of the year an editor thought he might be excused for picking holes in the skirts of Magistrates to entertain that class of persons who loved to see persons of respectability pulled down to their own level. His Lordship was also censured for hearing the statement of Palin, which had been voluntarily made in the private room, _and which necessarilfstood as part of the proceedings repeated in public. This was altogether absurd, and the person who wrote it could not have awaked out of his dreams of heavy German metaphysics which frequently made a man unable to see his way clearly in ordinary life.—(Laughter.) • The Lotto MAYOR said he had allowed a private eXamina 4ion in Min's case at the request of that person's friends, and he did so in the hope that the circumstances might be cleated up without a public exposure. It was this hope that led him to ask the.question objected to, for if a satisfactory explanation had been made, there would have been no committal, and no exposure. If the question was one to which a rational objection could be taken, Mr. Harmer, who attended for the prisoner, would it was well known have interfered, but Palin proceeded without interruption to give his 'explanation, though perfectly aware of the purpose for which the Chief Clerk took it down. His Lordship mentioned to Mr. Adolphus, who at this mo ment entered the room, the nature of the charge made against him. 111 r. ADOLPHUS said he could not for the life of him under. stand what people were at. He had received fifty letters since the examination or Mr. Palin, charging him with having acted like a fool, and having made no effort for his client.—( A laugh.) The Loan MAYOR observed that some persons would con sider the notice he task of the circumstances inconsistent with the dignity of his office, but he thought a man, whatever might be his station, could not be more honourably employed than in the vindication of his character. A DISTRESSED ARTIST. nut LARAT.L.—During the business before the sitting Ma gistrate, Mr. Alderman ATKINS, at this Justice-room, yester day, Elliman, one of the beadles of St. Dunstan's parish, brought in a middle-aged man of very respectable appearance, whose hand had providentially been arrested in the very act of attempting to destroy himself. Mr. Alderman ATKINS, understanding the nature of the affair, directed the unfortunate gentleman to be brought to the table, and the beadle then stated, that about half an hour be fore, he was called from his house by some . persons *ho told him that a man had attempted to destroy himself in the pas sage leading from Fleur-de-kis-court into Fetter-lane, directly opposite to Clifford's-inn. He ran thither immediately, and saw the gentleman in the care of another very respectable looking gentleman, the latter of whom said that he had at that instant seized the prisoner's hand in the very act of attempting to cut his throat with a razor, and he (Elliman) saw the fatal instrument then in the prisoner's hand. He seemed dreadfully agitated, and did not deny that he was about to destroy him self. The gentleman then delivered him into his care, and he accordingly brought him to the office. - The unfortunate gentleman stated to the Magistrate that his name was John Brown Eyton ; that he was by profession a portrait and landscape painter, and that his work had for many years appeared in the annual exhibitions at Somerset-house; that he resided at No. 13, Fetter-lane, and that he had a wife and two children, whom he had heretofore been enabled, from his success in his profession, to support in comfort and respec tability ; but that latterly he had been unfortunate and unsuc cessful, and his earnings had been very inconsiderable. Instgad of consoling him under this affliction, his wife was continually upbraiding him for his poverty and the- want of those comforts they had formerly enjoyed, which not only increased the evil by depriving him of that complacency of mind necessary for the successful pursuit of his business, hut had actually driven hint to desperation. Such had been the case that morning, and he bad just left his-house, and should most certainly have destroyed himself; but for the interposition of the gentleman, as Elliman had described. _ Mr. Alderman ATKINS addressed the gentleman with much feeling upon the enormity of the offence he was about to com- • mit, and as a return to his wife in his present state of agitation might probably lead to a repetition - of the rash act, he directed him to be taken care of at the fliltspur-street Compter till the next day. 31r. Eyton appeared grateful for the humane attention shor;n him, and readily submitted to the arrangement suggested by the Alderman. After he had been removed from the bar, the Alderman di rected the • beadle to call upon Mrs. Eyton, put her in posseS sion of the circumstances that had occurred, and request her • attendance when her husband should next he brought up. Elliman bowed his obedience to the Magistrate's orders, but observed that he feared • she would be hut little affected by what hvtl occurred, as her husband in coming to the office had opened his mind more at large to him than he had done be fore the Magistrate. He told him, that amidst her upbraid. ings that morning, she bid him go and hang himself or cut his throat ; and at the same time actually put the razor into his hand: and in the desperation which her irritating language had occasioned, he ran out of the house instantly determined to do as she bid him. Elliman mentioned that the gentleman who had prevented Mr. Eyton from committing the rash act, observed that that was the second instance in which he had been the means of preventing suicide that 'morning, for Halle was passing near the Tower at an early hour, he saw a respectable man throw him. self into the Thames ; he immediately gave the alarm, assist ance was procured, and the man's life was saved. CHARGE OF ILI—TREATING A HORSE. Row-ST nEvi....Mr. Martin. M. P.. produced a case of this description.yesterday morning. which in its progress be came involved in a difficulty of rather a novel and curious na ture. The driver of a hackney coach appeared to answer an information made by Mr Martin himself, on oath, for ill-using one of his horses. The coachman.pleaded guilty to the charge of beating his horses, but not " wantonly and cruelly." He said he had a horse that was very " ohstropolous," and would sometimes lie down in the road. The street keeper of the Strand was then called as a witness, in support of the information. He stated that on Saturday night last. his notice was attracted, when standing Opposite War ren's Blacking warehouse, by the loud lashing of a whip.— Upon looking in the direction of the noise, he saw the defendant . most violently flogging the off-horse from shoulder to flank. Ile shortly after this cruel transaction pulled up his coach a little distance beyond Villiers-street, and, "like a ruffian of the Brsi • water," set to and lashed the anim a l over t h e eyes an d h e ad . _ The poor .horse (a little mare) turned her head away :sever ' times in agony, but obtained no abatement of the cruel trestmolu. Thedriver here admitted that he gave the mare a few cuts overthe ears. The witness was called upon to identify theperson whom he sitar engaged in this cruel practice. • He turned to a man wire was standing rather backward in the office, trod who was two or . three heads taller than the defendant, and nearly three times as big, and declared he was the man. The witness was cautioned to he careful in this part of his evidence. He persisted in de.,' Glaring that it was the big man ; and be was quite certain the. little one, who avowed himself to be the real ()Wender,- was not the man.—Another witness was here 'produced, who swore be had seen the horse several times knocked down by the Violence of, the defendant. This witness most. positively declared that the big man was the real offender, and that the coachman, whom he had seen conducting himself in the; way described, was nothing like the man who now produced himself as the de- , fender): named in the information. Theindividualupon suspicion was - ethen fixed, was required to step forward. ne was ordered to put on his hat, which he did, and the witnesses~ became - still more confirmed in their opinion of his identity in con sequence. In answer to questions from the bench„ he stated that he never drove the coach in question in hii life, nor did he ever see the driver before to his knowledge. lie said he was then in the office upon business of his own„ and never heard of the present case till he witnessed the examination then going on.— An officer came forward to prove that the man really had busi ness of his own. He was driver of the coach No. 564. The witnesses, however, were not at all shaken by this contradiction of their opinion. The tall coachman said he could produce his witnesses by to-Morrow (this day) ; and after some remarks from Mr. Martin, the further investigation of this curiods affair was postponed until one o'clock to-day (Friday). .„-:..2.3„„. ....__ ice• ,xt,,,,,,,; ;( , ,P,. \ .4-4,-4, ;0 , PRlcr SVAT,I;NPr:Ne. ILLEGALITY OF DANCING-ROOMS. MARYLEBONE-STREET.—Yesterday Signor Antonio, the dancing-master, appeared before Mr.-(IntFFITII, on the sum mons granted against him for taking money at the doors of a, new Assembly-Rooms in' Oxford-street. John Hemmings, shopman to Mr. Miles, one of the complainants, proved having attended the ball given by the defendant. On his entering he was stopped at the ball-room door by the defendant, who told him that unless he paid 2s. he could not enter the bail-room, ard pointed to a little room or office where that sum was to be' paid. The witness in this room paid 2s. and received a coffee= ticket, he entered the ballroom afterwards and danced there, he drank a glass of porter, and although he saw plenty of that beverage and gin and water, yet he saw no coffee. Another witness gave evidence to the same effect. Mr. GRIFF/Tll considered no important use could be made of his evidence, as it was not properly proved that money wag -paid for admission at the doors. But it must be understood that Antonio would act most imprudently in carrying on this sort of dancing room. He was lucky in this case that it was not substantiated he had received money, as he (Mr. Griffith) had the power of causing the arrest of every person assembled in the ball-room, and the Proprietor, under the same statute, was liable to the penalty ef 100/. for taking money at the doors of any such unlicensed place. The case was then dismissed. CORONERS' INQUESTS. DREADFUL ACCIDENT. -------- Yesterday evening, at five o'clock, an Inqui , sition was taken at the London Hospital, before J. W. thiwix f Esq., on view of the body of Mrs. Ann Hause, the wife of a tradesman residing in Spitalfieds, who met with her death by the running over of one of Messrs. Truman, _Hanbury, and COs drays. After the Jury had viewed the body, the follow. ing evidence was laid before them Air. Samuel Clarke, of Wilks-street, Spitalfields, stated that on Wednesday, between the hours of twelve and one o'clock, as he was approaching towards Brick-lane, along Quaker-street, he perceived three drays ' heavily laden with casks, driving to-. wards Messrs. Truman, Danbury, and Co.'s brewery. H e saw the deceased standing tear the corner of the street; two of the draws passed him without inflicting . any . injury ; but the wheel of the third coming in contact with the-stall, knocked it down. The deceased, who was on the pathway, stretched forward, as he supposed, with the intention of supporting it, but having over-reached herself, lost her balance, and fell under the wheel, which passed over her head. Deceased was at once conveyed to the Hospital. CORONER.—Where was the driver at the time of the acci dent ?—He was sitting on the fore part of the dray. CORONER.—Hour far distant was the stall from the outer' flag-stone ?—lt wr s fully a yard. CORONER.—Did the driver stop when the accident oc- , curred ?—No, he droveon, but at a slow pace.—This vibtnen concluded his testimony by saying; that the deceased had a child in her arms at the time of the accident, which fortu nately escaped unhurt. Mrs. E. Potter, of Queen-street, Spitalfields, stated that . on. Wednesday, about twelve o'clock, she observed three drays passing along Quaker-street. Just as she approached the de ceased, the wheel of the third pasSeS over her ; the deceased had a child in her arms, which providentially escaped. She consi dered the occurrence as purely accidental, particularly as she saw, the driver at the horses' heads, and perceived him using every exertion to stop their course. The transaction was so ma:- mentary, that it was impossible to prevent its occurrence. Juror—Where was the driver of the dray at the time ? Was he on the dray ? Certainly not ; he was at the horses' heads. • -It was here remarked that there was a g' e it eiicrepancy be tween the evidence of this witness and the Harmer, Mr. Clarke having stated that the driver was on the dray, and Mrs. Potter asserting that he was in a different position. The witnesses were here confronted, but each was equally pa• sitive as to the truth of their respective statements. Juryman to the witness Clarke—How far were 'You from the drays at the time of the accident? I was quite close to them. suror—Then I suppose if the driver was on the dray you could have perceived him distinctly? I certainly could, as I was near enough to have caught the child from its mother's arms when she was falling. The witness Potter added to her direct testimony that in her opinion there was no blame to be attached to theAriver. The evidence here closed, but the Jury still viewing the testi mony as of a conflicting - nature, and not satisfactorily recon cilable, hesitated for a time. The Coroner perceiving their doubts, after recapitulating the evidenceobserved that even ad mitting the driver was on .the. dray, it appeared that the stall only, in the first instance, was knocked down, a thing that is not to be wondered at in the present season of the year, when Venders such as the deceased are so numerous, and who expose their standings in an inconvenient situation ; that the _deceased was indirectly the cause of her own death by stretching out,and endeavouring to save her little property. He concluded by ob serving that though the statements were itt some instances con ' ilicting, yet in the main points they were corroborative of each other, and the death, in his opinion, was Merely accidental ; under every view of die case he thought that the deoeand should be nominal. •' • The Jury agreed in opinion with the Coroner, and returned a verdict of " Accidental Death," with a deodend of ss. against: the dray and horses. A gentleman belonging to Messrs. Truman and Co.'s was present, and liberally offered, on the • est of the Cunpany, to bury the deceased at their own expeace. . . . Another Coroner's Inquest was yesterday morning taken before Thomas Shelton, Esq., at the Sun and Anehur public house, Saint Dunstan's Hills, Lower Thames -street, on the body of Edward Chase. The deceased it appeared Was employed on lioard the Albion steam-packet; and' ori Wed nesday morning, while' the vessel was lying off the Custom house, he clambered down its sides, for the purpose of drop ping himself into a boat that was lying alongside; but the boat happening to drift a little on one side oat •the moment, he fell into the water instead, and sunk to rise no more . . The hogy was not found till the next morning Verdict—" Accidental Death." MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.--A few ,days ago, a man named Williams, a dyer, betweem s'xty and . seventy years of age, was taken to Hatton Garden Office, by Thiesle ton the Officer, on a, charge of unlawfully patVning Some articles intrusted to him. The prosecutrix, on seeing the poverty of the prisoner, declined prosecuting„ and the Magistrate assented to his discharge, on his redeem irg the articles. The articles he did redeem ; but, in conse quenct of being disappointed in receiving some money from a friend, he sunk into a state of despondency, and on Saturday morning was found hanging in an out-house; attached to his residence on the Hornsey Road. He has left five children in a destitute state.
