Wm. Dmgslozo and Thomas Longstom, brothers, were ca pitally indicted for stealing forty sheep, at Clipston, id the county of Northampt on . 'The only features of interest in the case were, the magnitude - of the robbery, and the point raised by the Counsel for the prisoners, that the animals were only one year and two months old, and were not, in the techn ical language of farming, called sheep, but only lamb-hogs, the term sheep be applied only to such animals af:er the age of being shorn. This last point was afterwards waved, upon the Learned Judge declaring that if it proved valid, the prisoners shoeld be re-indicted. The Jury found W. Longslow Guilty, and #quitted the other prisoner. Mr. Justice PArtic imme diately passed sentence of death upon the culprit, declaring that the magnitude of the robbery would prevent the mercy of the Crown be extended to the case. The prisoner was about thirty [ years of age, a robust countryman, with regular features, and altogether a good countenance. He appeared deeply impressed with sorrow, when the sentence of the law war e rassed upon him, but made no observation whatever upon his can. Joseph Tebbut, aged 34, was indicted for: the murder of Joseph Sterrnan; of Earl's Barton, in the County of Northamp ton. It appeared that the prisoner had been with the deceased and others, merry making, and that he had played the joke upon the deceased of pouring water down his pocket. This the deceased took in a serious light, and immediately became the aggressor. In a scuffle that ensued, the prisoner had kicked the leg of his opponent, and the bruise soon after mortified, and occasioned death., Under these circumstances, and the pri soner having been in confinement for two months, the Learned Judge sentenced him, to pay a fine of one shilling, and he was discharged. Samuel Hillier, aged 30, was capitally indicted under Lo r d Ellentiorough's Act, for hailing wilfully and maliciously cut and wounded one Susannah Curman, a child of about 5 years of age. The prisoner was a wretched looking man, of a middle. size, with an open mouth and large protruding eyes, the ex pression of his countenance being remarkably repulsive.— During the trial the lower part of his face was frequently cons vulsed, and he appeared almost overcome with horror at the fate which he thought awaited him. The indictment charged him with committing the offence—first, with an attempt to murder; secondly, to disable; and, lastly, to do some bodily harm. The Counsel made no address to the Jury, but called the following, witnesses : Susannah Sullivan.: I remember , the prisoner coming to my father's house on the 2d June, between three and four o'clock in the afternoon ; he knocked at the door, I went to open it ; he never spoke, but put his fingers to his mouth and ear; I thought it meant that he was deaf and dumb; I shook my head and went in and shut the door; he pushed the door open, and caine in ; I gave him a penny to get rid of him, and he went away —he was a pedlar. Thomas Sullivan: I live at Laxton; my house is in Mr. Evans's park; I am his servant; my house is close to the road; on June 2, I saw the prisoner under a chesnut tree by the road side ; I had been as near as three yards to him ; he had passed me at that distance ; I saw three children go to wards him ; they afterwards ran away, and I saw the prisoner follow them ; he stooped down, and put his hand in his breeches pocket, and immediately I heard a child scream- out; before this I had heard a noise intthe village; I tan to the children on the spot.where he had stopped ; I saw a great deal of blood, and the child was bleeding very much ; the prisoner, and nobody else was nearithe child ; the child veal carried into a cottage, badly wounded. Charlotte Oreen-e.l. remember the prisoner at the bar corning on the 2d of[June last a to my, father's house to sell needles and buttons, and 'similar articles ; my father's house is not near Sullivan's, but it is near/Air. Ey:Mies - Park ; I.saw the prisoner Immediately after the accident; the children were in the utmost terror; I heard - the child scteatn, and I ran out immediately to her assistance; I found Susan Curman all over blood, and with a large gash in.her throat; she was bleeding profusely, and at last she staggered and fell down ; I immediately ran 'to her assistance; when I first saw the child, the prisoner was about four or five yards item her; he was, not further off; I am quite sure that the prisoner is the man ; I have not the smallest doubt as to his identity. Elizabeth Wooten, an old woman, deposed—l am wife of a labourer of Laxton. On 2d June ~ I recollect Charlotte Green 'calling on me, and saying that a child had been cut in the throat —I ran out, and found the child cut and screaming; I found a wound in the neck ; ; I applied cold water and rum to the wound ; the child fainted, and a surgeon was sent for; when I first saw the child, the prisoner was four or five yards from the spot ; nobody else was near. - Thomas Price, surgeon, near Laxton, proved the wound upon the child; if a surgeon had, not been called in, the child would not have bled to death, but the wound might have occa sioned death. I saw the knife with which the wound was in. fiicted ; the wound corresponed with the shape'si the knife.— [The knife was now produced; it was a common clasp knife, with a blade of about four inches long, with a lancet point • it was covered with rust. Another knif e , w i t h a b roa d rectangu lar point, was also found in the prisoner's wallet.l Timothy Wood—l am the constable who looked out for a person who had been guilty of this outrage. I had information so to do. I therefore pursued him, and at last traced him into Staffordshire, and took him at a distance of 125 miles from the scene of the offence. I took him in the court-yard of the Mar quis of Stafford's seat, Trentham. He had a pedlar's box hanging to his neck. I tapped him on the shoulder, because he had acted as a deaf and dumb man. • I put handcuffs upon him. He immediately spoke as I did this; He addressed him self to the Marquis of Stafford's agent, Mr. Lewis, and said; "I am the man the constables are in s e ar ch o f." li ly son was with me. He then said, " I saw the child bleeding; but I never touched the child, so help me God. The. blood spouted out of the child's neck like water out of a. jug." Mr. Lewis said to him, why did you not assist the child ? He said, " I looked at it three or four moments, and ,rnade my escape to King's Cliff for fear I should be apprehended, and sent to jail, and my box taken froth me, which would haVe ruined me, but I never touched the child, so help me God."':l searched the prisoner and his box, and in his box were two knives; a pair of scissars, and two razors. I took •him to LaXtcire; he there cried out, " Oh, I have been guilty of every ciimn• b u t this ; I have not committed murder. , ' The knives were again produced, and. handed to the Court and Jury to examine.

Thomas Price, surgeon, again called : The knife now pro. duced would not make a wound similar to that upon the, child, .but this one would.—[ The two knives were successively shewn to the witness, who identified that with the lancet point.]—in all probability„ the knife would,have exhibited marks of blood if it had not been cleaned ; the wound was more of a thrust than a cut. • Henry Rustly, turnkey of Northampton Gaol, produced the small-clothes which the prisoner had on when he was brought to the jail. They were marked all over with blood. • A pair of trowsers were .now produced. They were of what is called coloured or English nankeen, and were soiled from the waist-band to the knees with blood. The blood of the child is supposed to have spouted over the prisoner.

The prisoner looked at the knives and bloody trowscrs, and seemed petrified with horror. Hi s lip s were strongly cenvulsed,..at length he erica out, in a voice almost inarticulate, " My Lord, my Lord, I am as innocent as a babe unborn of murder." By the COURT Have you any witnesses to call ?—p r i sone - r: I have no witnesses to call. • . The Learned Judge now addressed .the Jury at considerable length. He complained that the case, as •E hisitcd in kloart, was as different from the case submitted to him on the depositions, as a Case of forgery was from one of sheep-stealing, In the de.: positions submittett to him, the evidence of Ah.e constables had. been totally omitted, and there was not a colour of pretence for • the case going to % Jttry upon its present circumstances. The evidence of the constables, however, was material in fixing the deec.. the przsoncr.. It Nur prize to the Jury, that none of the children had been called in evidencc, but it .tvas himself .who had .prevented their appear.. ance. He had privately ex mined. them before ,corning into Court. The unfortunate child who' had 'been SO ertielly-used, was too young.to give ary evidence in a Coort. of Justice. As to the other child that might have been produced, he was sorry to say, that upon his munitung. !ter, he had found her in a state cf incredible. ignorance--she h a d' never received the slightest particle of moral, religious, .R . r 'intellectual instructi!nt —she had neverbeen.within any church, and was ignorant of prayers, and oevery thing which could give any validity to h n oath. He had, 'therefore; prevented her appearante beibre Grand Jury, and had forbidden her evilenCe being taken: hefo rf3 the Petit Jury, but the evidence of. the two cottstables sup, plied any deficiency arisim from the absence of the child. The Learned Judge flier/ ,:jt:;lained. to the Jury the man. ner in which the motive of the prisoner would influence their verdict. The' ury, after A short consultation, 're:tined a verdict of Guilty. By the COURT c." Guilty of what ?" • • rorethan: " Guilty of stabbing the-child." • The COURT : “.But you must .find the intent; you.rnust Say- guilty of stabbing with ati intent either to murder, to' dii. able, or to do some bodily harm." The Jury consulted for about five minutes, when the Fore man pronounced the verdict—" Guilty, but not with an intent to murder." - • - The JuDGE: " But with what intent ?—however, this verdict is in fact an acquittal."—The prisoner was accordingly acquitted: _ . This result seemed to produce the 'greatest surprise both upon the prisoner, the audience, and upon ,the Jury. The, Court was crowded to excess. The child appeared in a side box of the Court; she was a . diminutive child, apparently of about for years old, and .the contrast between her sender age, and the ruffianly blow inflicted upon her, gave her appearance extraordinary degree of interest. - CIVIL SIDE. (Before Sir G. frotROYD and 'a Special Jury.) THE BOROUGH Or DAVENTRY V. DICKENS.--This was an action brought by the Corporation of Daventry against the defendant for carrying on a trade within the said borough, with out having taken out his freedom, whereby the Corporation al ledged that their privileges had been violated,, and damages had been sustained. The case; which excited considerable in. terest in the county, had been tried at the last Spring Assizes, but a rule for a new trial had been granted in consequence of a misdirection of the Learned Judge (Bullock) to the Jury, by which the Corporation had obtained a verdict. - By immemorial usage the borough enjoyed the privilege of prohibiting any other person than a freeman from exercising any trade within its precincts, and it was thecuStorn to compel• all persons setting up any trade to pay their fines and take out their freedom. The defendant had carried on a trade within the borough, refusing. tOnay any fine, and asserting that his having been a soldier conferred upon him the privilege of trading. in any town corpo rate or otherwise. The defendant's Counsel further'contended, that, by the common law, a freedom of carrying on trade was common to all the people, and that nothing but an Act of the Legislature could' deprive any person of such eprivilesre, or in any way impose a restriction upon the internal trade .of the country. The rights claimed by the borough were founded only upon a Charter, and in no prior instance of resistance bad the borough enforced the demand by any process at law. The Jury, after a long consultation, and at a very- late.hour, returned a verdict for the plaintifill. Mr. Justice Palm passed the sentence of death upon J. Dixon, convicted of forging to the amount of 4981. ; and Wm. Longakw, convicted.of stealing forty. -sheep. - They-were both left for execution. WINCHESTER, JULY 13.' CIVIL SIDE: •••• (Before Mr. JusticeLIT,TLEDALE and a Common Jury.) \VIIITCIItR v. JAMES HALL.—This was an action brought upon an agreement, by which 'the defendant had become surety for his uncle, Joseph Hall, for the due payment of a certain rent in respect of the tise of a, dairy of 30 cows, which the plaintiff hired out to Joseph H a ll at th e sum o f 711 les per an num for each cow. The action was to recover the full amount of the last quarter's rent. It appeared that the agreement was not exactly complied with, the plaintiff at first having furnished a less number of cows than 30, and then having exceeded that number in order to make up for the former deficiency. On this it was.objected for the defendant, that as surety he had a right to expect a literal performance 9f the agreement. The. Learned Judge, however, having been informed by the defend ant's witnesses that the alteration made no material difference in the grosa profits of the year, declared*his opinion that the surety, was not to expect a literal performanCe of the agreement as to the time of deliyering the cows `if the person for whom he be came bound, received the benefit which it had been intended to secure to him, that was sufficient for the purposes of this action. It subsequently appeared, that after the agreement in question, the plaintiff and Joseph Hall had entered into a fresh agree ment by parole, ,which did affect some, though a. slight change in the benefit to be produced to Joseph,Hall. The defendant's. Counsel then contended, that if a variance in the performance was not suf.leient to release the defendant from his liability, a change in the very terms and nature of the agreement -itself would do so, as the whole consideration on which the defend ants had become bound was altered.—The Learned Judge, however, was of a different opinion, but said he would give the defendant leave to move to enter a nonsuit on this point. Evidence having been given to shew that,the rent had been regularly paid by Joseph Hall, up to the third quarter, and that he had then, in consequence of directions from the de fendant, who was at that time first informed of the parole agreement, thrown 'up his possession of the cows into the hands of the plaintiff; a reduction of .one third in the demand of the last quarter was agreed to be nude. The amount to be taken being thus settled at 401., the defendant submitted to a verdict for that sum, subject to the opinion of the Court, on the objection reserved by the Judge. No other case of interest occurred in the Civil Court. • GROWN SIDE. , • •• ‘Before Mr. Justice GA,ZELEE.). John Dickenson was indicted for having burglariously en.. tered the dwelling house of MT. Edniund Rust, in the parish of Alverstoke, in this county, and stolen therefrom several articles of wearing apparel. The prisoner, though repeatedly warned against such a course by the Learned Judge, persisted in pleading guilty. He declared, thowever, with tears in his eyes, that he had served his country for seven years in the 90th regiment, which was not now in the country. He had a certificate of good conduct from his Colonel, and he most solemnly . protested he had been driven by hard necessity to' commit this act. Mr. Justice GAztLEE having desired this certificate to be handed up to him, and having examined it, he looked into the indictment, after which, he told the prisoner, that though he was obliged to record sentence of death against Idm, still it was happy for the prisoner, that the crime of which he had con. feesed himself guilty, was net of such a nature as to preclude the hope of his receiving the Royal mercy. The proceedin g s of • this day would be notified to the proper quarter, where his tes timonial of character should also be sent, and it would then be for the'Crown to consider whether mercy should be extended to the prisoner. The Learned Judge then proceeded to pass sentence On the prisoner. Thomas Rogers•was indicted for stealing two cheeses in a basket, from John Pooting, on the Pill of May last, in the parish of Andover. The prosecutor proved that he and the prisoner were drinking beer together in a public-house, when the latter slipt away, and took the cheeses with him. He was found with them afterwards at the corner of the heure. In this account the prosecutor was confirmed by another witness. • The prisoner in his def e nc e 'stated, that he and the prosecutor and the other .witness were all drinking and laughing together, and while they were all enjoying their ;.ekes, he saw the cheeses lying behind him, and it occurred to him at the moment that it would be a good joke to frighten the prosecutor by carrying off the cheeses; accordingly the prisoner slipped away 'with his laugh, against the p rosecutor, .w h en h e was se i ze d . them, and then stood at the corner or the house, where he was :n ri ll ie-Y c i h r- a g rged with the felony. He called on the Jury to say . Whether a man who really wished •to hays stolen the cheeses would have waited at the corner of the house ; laughing, when he might have got off safely with . them if he had made the rndst, of his time ? It rts intimated. that.a certificate was•to shave 126e4 prbducerlE from a surgeon; . in order to show that the prisoner ail . occa sionally subject to. Slight -atierrhtten3 , intelleet.

The civil business being gone through, Mr. Justice Butt .% RO UGH proceeded with the trials of prisoners.- : ' '- Before Mr. Justice BURROUGH. : • • Wm . Nichols and John Pill " were indicted.. for stealing sheep, the property of James Parker. • ' • Mr.. SHEPHERD conducted the prosecution. Mr. Parker said-1 live at 1 7 .th:eon.

It.is not uncommon for sheep to stray. • Stephen Gorton said, I was shepherd to the prosecutor ; I missed the sheep on the 21st of April; I -have hot' the least knowledge of the day on which it was lost. Cross.examined by Mr. CtntwooD—l did .not count the sheep every morning, because my master was ill. Examined by the Learned JUDGE-,The sheep were folded, and used to break out. They were folded day and night, and never let out. Mr. Justice BußllollGH—That'S impossible. The witness—The last time I counted the sheep was a month' before ; but I know this sheep to be my master's. He was marked by a slit on the ear. It was not a halfpenny cut. Tlis sheep was a woolly-headed, sour-looking sheep. - We have - got him in Court. - Mr. Cultwoor•--As I came into Court I saw the sheep standing near the witneSs-box, with a subpoena tied round Ins neck. The witpess-1 am quite positive that it ,is ouraheep bg th - e • slit in his ear. Mr. CunwOoD—Vou had better gei yonr own ear slit; ti, t` you may know yourself again if you should get 'lost. The witness{witli perfect simplicity)—Yes, Sir—(Laughter) -A. Spinage said, he saw the prisoner with the sheep, who , said belied bought it of Mr. Seery, and that the witness askid to purchase it but he would not sell it. , Wm ? Money, a farmer,iproved that he hattbought the sheep . of the prisoner Pill for 305., but he did not pay him, for it, and Pill sent•the prisoner Nichols for the • money a week or ticks ' afterwards. Several other witnesses were.called, but they „carried the case no further. The Learned JUDGE called on theprisoners for their de fence, but thefr 'Counsel said he should. advise them not to make any to so lathe a case. Two 'respectable farmers'give them both a very excellent.cha racter. The Learned JUDGE told the Jury that, in his opinion, there was no evidence against Nichols ; and, in his view of, the case. nor enough to warrant the conviction of Pill ; but that was for them to consider. • The Jury consulted together for upwards of half an hour, when they said they found both the prisoners Guilty. _ Mr. Justice BURROUGH—The verdict is yours, and 'riot mine; and'you may therefore find such verdict as you think t right; but as to Nichols, there is not a shadow of evidence — against him, whateier there may be against Pill. One of , the Jury—We think that Pill stole the sheep, and Nichols helped him to do so. Mr. Justice BuRROUGH—There is no evidence at all against Nichols. ' The Jury, after some further deliberation, found Pill duilti, and Nichols Not Guilty. . • lIORSIIAM QUARTER SESSIONS: At:these Sessions, holden on Tuesday last,' Mary Hton- Arty, aged 21 years, a young woman ofinteresting appearance, was indicted for stealing a lace veil, value 205., one pair of silk stockings,' a silk' handkerchief, cambric ditto, and various other articles. - ' • The prisoner was brought to the Sessions from the Petworth ; HoUse of Correction, to which she had been committed.on the 25th of April; by *John Wakefield, Esq., a Magistrate for the County," charged on the oath ofthe.Reverend - Edward Robt7t Butcher, with stealing, in the town of Nirrirxhing,one silk hand. kerchief, and one cambric handl:et:chief, of the value of 25. the property of the said Edward Robert Butcher."

Butcher, and this statement was in part confirmed by•the evi. deuce of Helen ,Cook, a person living at the same time in the I service of the Doctor; and by that of a Mr. Cranston, of 'Worthing. The latter 'also stated; that at the time when'it was - sworn by the prosecutor that Mrs: Butcher was ill,, and -.unable • ! to attend before the klagistrate, that lady was at the house of witness, about a quarter of a mile distant from her awn residence, and that therefore she could not have been too ill :a ' attend at the Magistrate's which was .not more than.lso yards distant. - ' The Jury would not trouble the Court to sum up tbe evtderce, but stated that they had long since been satiglied.
