CATES AND OTHER', This was an indictment against the same defendant, together with seven other persons, for a riot at Billericay, on the same day. and also for assaulting William Curtis, a constable, in the execu tion of his duty. The Jury retired for nearly an hour, and on their return Ac quitted all the defendants of the charge of. riot, but found them all Gui.i.ty of the assault upon the constable in the execution of his duty. The Assizes ended at seven o'clock in the evening. OXFORD CIRCUIT.-STAFFORD, MARCH 16. CIVIL ASOIC r WAKEFIELD. The damages were lard at 6,000/. Mr. Caatrand. stated the case. The plaintiff was an inn• keeper, residing at the Talbot, at Uttoxeter ; and the defendant a reapeatable and opulent cabinet-maker, living in the same town. The plaintiff's wife had been respectably brought up and virtuously educated, and until an improper acquaintance with the defendant had began, she an ' her husband lived in harmony together. Mrs. Mason was the mother of four children, and he would show, that until seduced by the defendant, (who, he was sorry to say, was a married man, and a father), she had been an affectionate wife and tender parent. The defendant had regularly used the house, until his familiarity with the plaintiff's wife became too evident to be concealed, and a notice, forbidding him to come on the premises, was served upon him. He, however, afterwards continued to visit Mrs. Mason in a clandestine manner ; and at last accom plished his purpose. For the injury and loss sustained, the plain tiff sought reparation. Edward Wilson, whitesmith, Uttoxeter, examined—Knew the plaintiff; he was married to Maria Johnson, his present wife, in 1818 ; they lived first at the Cross Keys, then at the Dolphin, and afterwards at the Talbot ; they have had four children ; they lived very happily until about twelve months ago ; then he perceived a change for the worse. Wakefield frequented the Talbot at that time ; he is a master cabinet-maker, and employs 10 or 12 men ; has seen Mrs. Mason and him by themselves together, but never saw any improper liberty taken; he has seen Wakefield put his hand on her shoulder ; he served a notice on defendant on the ith of May, signed "A. Flint," not to come on the premises again, or he would be punished as a wilful trespasser. Cross-examined—He served no more notices at that time ; he gave it to Mr. Wakefield's attorney, Mr. Bagshaw, and he read it to Wakefield, who was close to him ; thinks he did laugh at it ; saw Mrs. Mason at her husband's yesterday ; she went to her fa ther's about a month since, and returned a few days ago ; she has been backward and forward to her friends; .did not know of Ma son's being drunk so very often ; it was generally in the landlord's way to drink a little ; he used to get a little bit pearl like ; has seen Mrs. Mason a little fresh as well as her husband, but not both at one time. Edward Harrison, boot and shoemaker, examined—His evi dence was very similar to the foregoing ; be had witnessed an im proper acquaintance between the defendant and plaintiff's wife, which bad made her less prudent and industrious than before the acquaintance commenced, eighteen months or two years since. Cross-examined—Was in Mr. Mason's house yesterday, saw Mrs. Mason ; never saw her dance a hornpipe, or round a candle on the kitchen floor ; never saw her in liquor before the defen dant visited the house ; never saw Mr. and Mrs. Mason fresh at the same time. _ The neat witness, a cabinet-maker, had seen an improper ac quaintance between Mrs. Mason and defendant ; observed it about fifteen months ago ; she then changed for the worse, and began to take too much liquor. John Evans lets horses and gigs to hire. On the 23d of No vember, plaintiff applied to him about nine or ten at night for a horse and gig, saying, " I'm going to see after that devil of a wife of mine and Wakefield;" he went with Mason in a gig to Rugely ; they reached there early in the morning ; found Wake field and Mrs. Mason at the Talbot ; Mason and his wife got in the gig, Wakefield road alongside ; he (Evans) got out and walked, after proceeding about half way, saying he would not be seen in such a d—d shabby concern ;he got a pretty blowing-up from his wife when he reached home ; they had some gin and milk at "the Talbot ; had had some drink to-day. " Do you think I should come to Stafford without drinking ?" Saw Mrs. Mason at her husband's this morning, at five o'clock, as drunk as a pig [The droll and exceedingly rude manner of this witness provoked considerable laughter in Court, and a reprimand from the Judge.] John w oo d, constable of Rugely, was called up on the morn ing of the 23d of November, by Mr. Mason ; we went to the Talbot ; went up stairs with Mason and the chambermaid ; saw Mrs. Mason and Wakefield come out of a bed-room in which there was only one bed : she said, " It's too bad, Wakefield's 'tieing me away." Wakefield wanted Mason to make it up, but he would not. Witness advised hint to take her home to her children. Thomas Hodson, of the Talbot Inn, Rugeley, proved that Wakefield came to his house on the evening of the 22d, and after taking tea retired to rest with Mrs. Mason, whom lee considered was his wife. No witnesses were called for the defendant, but Mr. TAUNTON spoke at great length on the evidence which constituted the plaintiff's case. He argued, that as the plaintiff had by his conduct previously to Wakefield's intimacy with his wife, exposed her to the designs of any intriguing individual, by drinking so constantly as to be unable to watch over her con duct anti morals ; and as, immediately after the discovery at Rugely, he had taken her home and continued to live with her as before, it was plain he did not estimate his loss at a single stray; and he trusted the jury would give the plaintiff the smallest coin in the realm as damages. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff Damage`, one farthing. Mr. Baron GARILOW.—The public are much indebted to you, gentlemen, fur this verdict. These sort of actions are quite dis graceful. Mr. CAMPBELL.—In on l y one cue, since the statute of Eliza beth, where a very young man was enticed in a very scandalous manner, the Judge certified for the defendant. It would be a shock to the morals of the country, if a defendant like the pre sent should so Meet With the protection of the Judge, that he should interpose and prevent the defendant paying the plaintiff's costs. Ile submitted more damage would be done by such a cer tificate, and the balance of convenience would be the other way. Mr. Baron Gmtnow.—l feel myself bound by the authority to follow it, and I shall be glad it should he followed. T think the balance of inconvenience would be if the Judge were pre vented from certifying. The action was such that you had just enough to stand upon to prevent a isousuit. I think if a de fendant comes into a Court of Justice impleadA by a man who has conducted himself like this plaintiff, and who recovers only a farthing damages, that the plaintiff ought not to have more costs than damages. CROWN SIDE. Matthew Skinner was indicted fur killing and slaying Charles Hall, at Stoke-upon -Trent, upon the 10th of August last. Mr. MAT stated, that the prisoner was indicted for manslaugh ter. The deceased and the prisoner were on the race-course at Shelton, early in the morning, when they quarrelled, and agreed to fight. They did fight two rounds ; in the last the deceased received a violent blow under the left ear. He stood up for a third round, but before a blow was struck he fell down dead. Several respectable witnesses were called, who said the prisoner was a quiet, peaceable, and well-disposed man, and gave him an excellent character. Mr. Baron VauGuas, in summing up, observed, the case ap - - peared to him as mild a case as possible. It was a fair manly fight after a quarrel. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. He prayed the benefit of the statute, and Mr. Baron V uGnms passed sentence. His Lordship observed—" There are circumstances very favourable for you ; it is not to be expected that upon provocation a man's blood will not be roused. There has been nothing unfair in the fight. The Court taking your excellent character into considera tion, doth adjudge that you be imprisoned one calendar month, 4111& _ • PRICE 71). and then discharged." The prisoner bad been in custody since August. LANCASTER, INIARciI "! CROWN SIDE. Janus Toage was convicted of uttering at .Manchester, ou the 13th January last, one forged 101. Bank of England note, know ing the same to be forged. Marcus Rosenthole, a clothesman, residing in Manchester, was charged with killing and slaying John Luke on Saturday the 18th November. Eliza Jennings stated, that she was the step elaughter of the deceased. On Saturday the 18th November, she was in company with deceased, passing the shop of the prisoner, at 11 o'clock at night. A person within the shop called them in, and asked the deceased if Le wanted to buy anything. The deceased said, " Yes," and asked the price of a suit of clothes. The shopman answered, " Five guineas." The decease - I said he would give no such sum, and asked the man if he might pay for it by instalments of 10s. a-week. Prisoner desired deceased to go about his busi ness. Deceased said he would not go. Prisoner said that be would make him. Deceased said, " What are you for now, you villain ?" and prisoner took hold of his arm and flung him clean out of the shop. Deceased was abut a foot and a half within the shop when thrown out by the prisoner. Deceased fell backwards, and lay upon the grousd for about half an hour. Josiah Clough, a surgeon at Manchester, stated, that the de ceased had been brought to his house. Witness examined hit head, and found on it a large cut; he survived three weeks; the wound was the cause of his death. On the part of the defence, evidence was offered to show that the fall of the deceased had been the result of accijent. The Jury acquitted the prisoner. Margaret Watson was put to the bar, charged by the Coro ner's inquisition with killing and slaying Dennis Meadowcroft, at Manchester. John Lawless examined.—Witness was in Oldham-street, at Manchester, on the 30th of December. Saw Dennis Meadow croft there. It was about 12 o'clock at night. The deceased, with five other persons, were running in the direction of the pri saner, who kept an oyster-shop in Oldham-street, and being fore ' most of the party snatched something from the prisoner's stall.— Prisoner immediately turned round, and struck deceased with a knife. The blow fell on the breast of deceased. Deceased ex claimed, that prisoner had done far him. In a few moments de ceased fell. Prisoner then walked away from her stall. The knife which the prisoner used was an oyster-knife. The party were shouting and making a riot, es they approached the stall Witness did not perceive that deceased or any of his party were in toxicated. The prisoner at the time was far advanced in preg nancy. She did not show any signs of sorrow for what had happened. The prisoner in her defence alleged, that on several successive nights she had been struck at and annoyed by the deceased. The prisoner was found Guilty. The Learned JUDGE passed sentence on the prisoner. He felt satisfied that the prisoner had acted from a sudden impulse of fear, which was in part to be attributed to her situation. and taking into consideration the length of time she had been confined, he would only sentence her to be confined six weeks in the county gaol. John Garratt was charged with burglariously breaking into and entering the dwelling-house of Dudley Prior, at Stretford, and stealing therefrom one coat, two handkerchiefs, one pro missory note, one silver watch, one bunch of keys, and one scarf, his property. Verdict— Guilty. Thomas TVilson was indicted for manslaughter, in killing and slaying John Taylor, at Bolton. A surgeon who was examined, proved that the death of the de ceased resulted from a violent blow on the stomach. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to be transported for seven years. Samuel Ashcroft and Daniel Graham, wit() in the course of the present Assizes bad been convicted on three several charges of highway robbery, were brought up and received sentence of death. His Lordship recommended them to entertain no hope of mercy. CIVIL SIDE.-REX v. WILDE AND °TITERS. This was an indictment against ten individuals, for a riot and assault at Oldham, on the 7th of November last. Mr. SCARLETT addressed the Jury for the prosecution. He stated that the defendants were cotton-spinners, who had been in the employ of Messrs. Lancashire and Collinge, at Oldham, and had turned out in consequence of a reduction of wages. Undoubt edly they had a right to refuse to work for the reduced wages, if they pleased ; but they had no right to proceed to acts of violence, in order to deter others from taking them. .Tohn Lancashire examined.—Witness stated that he anti his partner, Mr. Collinge, kept a cotton manufactory at Oldham, near Manchester; the cotton-spinners employed by witness turned out in September last on account of a reduction of wages. When the regular workpeople turned out, witness was obliged to employ new hands ; the new hands were boarded at the factory, and they slept at the warehouse; the turn-out workmen then commenced a watch round the mill ; the number stationed about the mill • amounted to thirty, and they were relieved every six hours ; they were placed in all the avenues leading to the mill ; in Sep tember and October, the mill had military protection, and the military sometimes drove the " turn-outs" from their watch, but they always came again ; the watch was withdrawn on the morning of the 7th of November, and all that day there was a calm. A little before six o'clock in the evening, witness was alarmed by a noise, and he went out to see what was the matter. The factory is surrounded by a wall, and witness got upon the wall. Ile then saw that the passages leading to the factory were filled with men. Witness asked them what they wanted, and they cried out that they wanted the " knob-sticks," meaning the workm e n who worked for reduced wages. Witness descended the wall, and then perceived that four or five of the men had got into th e yard, and were going in a direction from the west gate to the great gate. The door at the west gate hal been locked, but it was now open. One of the men had a pick-axe in his hand. They all ran to the great door, and struck it with the pick-axe and forced it open. The whole crowd rushed in, and went into the factory. The new hands were all forcibly brought out. Wit ness saw Eli Greenless, Joseph Garside, and George Andrews brought out. All those men were very severely kicked and beaten. Witness saw Eli Greenless afterwards. He was then in a very bad state, and still continues so. The last time that wit ness saw hint was on Tuesday week last, and he was then in the Infirmary. Other witnesses were called, who detailed the circumstances of the riot generally in the same terms used by the last witness. Each of the defendants was identified as taking an active part in the affair. Mr. WILLIAMS addressed the Jury for the defence. The Jury found all the prisoners Guilty. REX V.

CROWN COURT.—FRIDAY, MAucti 16. Jeremiah Butterworth was charged with having wilfully and maliciously shot at Peter Berry, in a certain wood near Worsley, with intent to kill the said Peter Berry ; and William Leyland was charged with !ounselling, aiding, and abetting the said Jere miah Butterworth to commit the said offence. A great number of witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent cha racter for humanity and general good conduct. The Jury found Butterworth guilty of shooting, b ut without intent to kill. Mr. Justice BAs LEY informed the Jury that that verdict would amount to an acquittal. The Jury then, after a few moments' consideration, f ou nd both prisoners Not Guilty. David Sefton was indicted for uttering a forged bill of exchange for 151. 9s. to James V ar l e y, a t Blanchester, knovring the same to be forged. A clerk from the house of Messrs. Esdaile, of London, proved the acceptance of the bill to be a forgery. The prisoner was found guilty and recommended to mercy. After the verdict prisoner asked whether the circumstance of the bill being drawn on a Sunday did not deprive it of value, and so vitiate the proceeding against him. Mr. Justice BAYLEY-That circumstance makes no difference. CIVIL SIDE.----soRTn v. HARRISON AND ANOTHER. Mr. PArrEsos o pened the pleadings. The declaration de clared, that the defendants assaulted and unlawfully imprisoned tl. , plaintiff. The defendants pleaded the general issue and z j!' Aification. Mr. BitounHAM addressed the Jury-..-The plaintiff was a corn asion-agent, residing in Manchester, and the defendants were witallen-manufacturers, residing at. Saddleworth, in Yorkshire. le August last, the plaintiff had had a quantity of indigo to die p •se of, and some of the defendants seeing it in the warehouse of t' plaintiff, expressed a desire to become purchasers. He, how 'l., said, that it would suit him better if the plaintiff would c. usent to barter the indigo for a quantity of shawls, instead of rta•eiving its value in money;. and to that arrangement the plain ti!f acceded. The indigo had been accordingly removed, and foe a short time nothing had been said about it ; but in a fortnight after, in the broad day-light, when the plaintiff was crossing one of the most public streets in Manchester, the defendant had ap proached him, and said, " That indigo is bad, and if you don't give back the shawls, I will take you to a police-office." Some altercation had ensued, and the result had been that the plaintiff had been laid hold of, dragged to the police-office, and there charged with obtaining goods under false pretences. The Magi strate before whom the charge had been heard had immediately dismissed it, but t :,cfore the plaintiff had been some time under restraint. These were the circumstances under which the plain tiff came into Court. .1. Livingstone cross-examined by Mr. Scasurr—NobAy laid hold of the plaintiff. I did not touch him. Thomas Holme examined.—l am a Commission agent. I know the plaintiff. 1 saw him at the New Bailey on the 14th cf August last. I saw the persons who charged the plaintiff. I don't know them, but they answered to the name of Harrison_ I have seen them since. I have seen them, I think, in Court this moraine.. They charged the plaintiff with— Mr. ° Sc R Err (interrupting .wi loess. ),... - Was not t h e *et g taken down in writing ? Witness----I don't recollect. _ . Mr. Baron HuLLocx—lt was the duty of the Magistrate to take it down, and if there he no evidence that he did not, I must presume that he did his duty The witness, therefore, cannot be examined as to that. Examination resumed.—After the charge had been made, the Magistrate ,sked something about indigo. He said that the de. fendanta were as bad as the plaintiff. The plaintiff was discharged. Mr. SCARLETr—Then you saw somebody who was called Harri. an ycu have seen the same person today ?—Yes, I think sc. Mr. SCARLETT (to the Judge.)—Neither of the defendants are at Lancaster. Mr. Baron Ilt=ocx.—This will not do. There must be bet ,er evidence of identity.—The plAintiff was nonsuited. SALISBURY, Mtßcxl 16. MTJIMER.

ARK, in passisentence the prisoner, reminded him that ng of death on „ humanel • he had had the benefit of counsel, who hta } attempted to elicit any facts, by the cross - ex amination of the witnesses, which might serve to show the absence of deli berate malice, hut the whole train of evidence was so complete, and the facts were so clear, that it was found impossible to ex tenuate his guilt. Although living in prostitution with ions the uand n happy woman w h o h a d fallen a victim to his v iolent pass brutal cruelty, she had a right to expect protetion from him, instead of affording which he had become her murderer. It was now too l a te to hope for mercy or pardon in this life from any human au thority. The law of the land and the Divine law made it imperative on a Christian h Judge award the sentence of death ad bee to n stained with blood, and no to a murderer. The earth thing but blood could satisfy the demands of the Almighty, ac t cording to that law which was—" He that sheddeth mat's blood,
