ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—NEwcAm,s, JULY 31. The commission was opened here last night, and this morning, after attending divine service, the Judges pro ceeded to the Courts. Lord LYNDHURST to the City, and Mr. Baron GURNEY to the County, and charged the re spective Grand Juries. _ _ The calendar is light, there being but five cases for trial in the County, and seven in the City. A late case of the murder of a sailor, for which a pitman stands charged, is for trial in the latter. (Before Mr. Baron GURNEY. William Henderson was indicted for bigamy. The pro secutrix, Jane Atkinson, a pretty young woman, said that she was twenty years of age, and that the prisoner, who re presented himself as being the captain of a ship, was in troduced to her in April last. After four days' courtship, he proposed to marry her. Her father and mother ex pressed their surprise at his being so hasty, but he perse vered in his proposal, and the marriage took place, the pri soner borrowing his father's coat to appear in during the ceremony. It was subsequently ascertained that he had been married 12 or 14 years previously, and that his first wife was still living. The certificates of the first and second marriages were put in. - Verdict—Guilty. To be kept in solitary confinement for six months, and hard lab our . Charles M ay was indicted for stealing 179 books and prints out of a public library in this town, called Doctor Tornlinsen's library. Mr. INGHAM conducted the prosecution ; Mr. DUNDAS for the defence. The prisoner was a very respectable-looking young man, and was in the employment of Mr. Gibson, solicitor, as clerk. The facts of the case are these. The prisoner was in the habit of frequenting the library, out of which a great number of books were missed. The woman who was em ployed by the Rev. Mr. Taylor, the librarian, mentioned the circumstance to the prisoner, who said it was impossi ble that such a number could be gone. She gave him per mission, she said, to take any books out of the library. The prisoner was called upon by the sergeant at mace, and told he was suspected. The sergeant accompanied him to his lodgings, where 14 books and a Dumber of prints were found. One of the latter was a print of Bishop Rainbow, who was Bishop of Carlisle in 1688, and which fitted a book in the library containing his life. After the prisoner had been committed to prison he told the other sergeant at mace that he had a mania for reading, and that there was a large number of books yet in his lodgings. Search was accordingly made, and 165 volumes belonging to the library were founsi. The confession of the prisoner was read, in which he stated that be took the books for the purpose of reading them merely, and not with the intention of committing any felony, and that he intended to restore them as soon as the course of the study he was then engaged in was finished. In his defence, which was contained in a letter addressed to his Lordship, the prisoner reiterated his statement that the books were not taken by him with any intention of stealing them. H e a l so state d t h at h e was educated for the church, but being disappointed of ordination he -went as private tutor into several families ; that not finding employment in that way in Newcastle, he took an engagement in at torney's office till he could obtain a better situation, and that while in such capacity he had been intrusted with large sums of money, not one penny of which he had ever applied improperly. He then went on to state that be was much attached to literature, and that the hours he could devote to study were those at which the library was closed. Besides, he submitted that if he had had an intention of stealing , the books he had ample time afforded him to have disposed of them. He besought his Lordship's mercy on account of his beloved wife, who was entirely dependent upon him, and that without his support she would be thrown destitute on the world. The reading of his defence affected many in Court. Several witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent charac ter ; and Mr. Gibson, in whose office he had been em ployed two years, said that he had often intrusted him with large sums of money, with which he might have absconded bad he pleased. Verdict—Guilty. Before judgment was pronounced the prisoner said that he wished to explain that the reason he had so many books was for reference ; that they were seldom, if ever. asked for in the library ; and that he thought it no great harm to take them till he had finished his studies. The Learned JUDGE, after an address of some length, sentenced the prisoner to be transported for seven years. FRIDAY, (Before Mr. BARON GURNEY.) John Curtis was indicted for assaulting William Graham, and stealing from his person two sovereigns and some silver, on the 17th of July. The prosecutor said that the prisoner and another person accompanied him on the day named into a glass manufactory to get their clothes dried, and that, after leaving it, the pri soner seized him and took out his purse containing the mo ney. Verdict—Guilty. To be transported for life. Thomasin Sloan and Sarah Smith, two unfortunate girls, were indicted for stealing from the person of Robert Wil kinson, in a house of ill fame, a half-sovereign and ten shil lings in silver. The prosecutor proved the robbery. Verdict—Guilty. His LORDSHIP sentenced them to be transported for life. The poor women were greatly affected on sentence being pronounced, and shrieked violently on being taken from the bar. One of them had an infant in her arms. Eliza Davidson and Margaret Hebburn were indicted for stealing a silver watch from the person of Thomas Walton, on the 12th of July last. The prisoners in this case were also unfortunate women. It appeared that the prosecutor who was a married man, was in the habit of calling frequently on Mrs. Davidson, who kept the house in which the robbery took place. The latter had asked to search his pockets for money to drink, but in stead of doing so he took the watch out of his fob, and re fused to give it back. The other prisoner pledged it. The prosecutor had given them a shilling to drink before the alleged robbery, and another shilling for a similar purpose after it. The prisoners, in their defence, denied the robbery, and said that the prosecutor had given them the watch to pledge for ten shillings. Verdict—Guilty. Davidson to be transported for life, and Hebburn for 14 years. The latter was greatly distressed on sentence being pronounced. Frederick Thomas, a young lad, was indicted for having obtained a hat from Mr. Robert Kent, hatter of this town, with a forged order, purporting to be from Mr. Hoyle, solicitor. The facts were fully proved. Verdict—Guilty. To be transported for life. Catherine Buchannan was indicted for receiving several articles the property of Mr. Matthew Wheatley, knowing them to be stolen. It was proved that the articles were stolen from Mr. 'Wheatley, and that the prisoner offered to pawn them at a pawnbroker's. She refused to tell where she lodged, but was followed and taken with the articles. The prisoner, a poor simple-looking girl, said she h a d been sent with the articles to pawn, and did not know at the time they had been spolen. Verdict--Guilty. To be transported . for 14 years . _ _ A prisoner named Johnson was yesterday found Guilty of the robbery in the above case, and was sentenced to only seven years' transportation. The severity of the sentences upon Catherine Buchannan and the other four previously tried, excited a good deal of surprise in Court. A case of quo warranto of no public interest has occu pied Lord LYNDHURST in the Nisi Prius Court almost the whole of the day. _ _ His Lordship is to try the case of murder in the City to morrow, which it is expected will occupy a considerable time. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—EXETER, Atrousr 1. (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) Penelope Bickle, aged 54, was charged with the wilful murder of her husband, by administering to him poison, John Browning, shopman of Mr. Ching, druggist, in Launceston—l recollect the prisoner asking me for a pennyworth of arsenic on Saturday, the 14th of June last. She said she wanted to poison rats and mice. I said, "we never serve less than twopennyviorth." She said she must have it, and I gave her twopennyworth, and put a printed label, " arsenic—poison," on it. She put it into her pocket. Cross-examined—l knew her before. There were others in the shop at the same time who knew her. About six weeks before she bought nux vomica for the same purpose, as she alleged. She said on this occasion that it did S not succeed. I was at the Coroner's inquest, and was shown a vial which had a little balsam of capivi in it. I did not not know the deceased. Richard Bickle, son of the prisoner and of the deceased— lam 17 years of age. My father had been unwell f or some time before this, but was much better a week previous to his death. When we returned home from church on Sunday, the 15th of June, we sat down to dinner, which consisted of mashed potatoes, with meat on it, and goose berry-pie. There was no crust over the meat. Father,' mother, two sisters, and I eat of the mashed potatoes and the pie. Father helped himself, and so did each of us. There was enough for us all. After dinner I went to meeting, and did not return until half-past ten, when father was in bed very unwell. My mother asked me to go for a doctor, but it was too late, and I refused to go. Father and inothpfv o quarrel betimes. I don't know what about. _No-5 e attended my father during his illness, used - tog Mr. Whittaker's, in Launceston. Crogs-exammed y father did not appear worse that night than he , g o some weeks b e f ore . We all par took of the nlasho atoes and the pie. All the pie was C• not then be eaten. I eat what was left at, my tea. The meat was generally kept hung up in a basket in the kitchen to protect it from the rats and mice, of which there were a great many in the house. This witness was crying, evidently much affected during his examination. Eliza Bickle, sister to the last witness, gave evidence to the same effect, and further deposed that her father went to bed on that Sunday immediately after dinner, as he was accustomed to do. He did not complain of illness until about ten o'clock. From that time he grew gradually worse until he died. Father and mother used to quarrel, like the rest of the neighbours. The cause of their quar rels was, he would not give money to mother. They did not sleep together for twelve months previously. When he got very ill that night, mother wanted me to go for as sistance to some of the neighbouring cottages, but I was afraid to go alone at that hour of the night. My mother told me on the Saturday that she bought some poison in Launceston for the rats, and that she last it. We had been much troubled with rats. Cross-examined—l helped mother to get dinner ready. We all partook of the dinner. I saw father take pills that morning. I heard mother ask him that night if she should send for a doctor. He said it was of no use to him. He" was subject to cold shivers. At day-break, I went for a nurse. . William Goodman—Was in prisoner's house in the morn ing of Sunday. The deceased cut up the meat to be dressed for dinner, and the prisoner asked if salt was to be put in it. He said no, but desired a potatoe to be put in the pie. I did not see any mashed potatoes. The deceased appeared then to be very well. I was there again from five to six, and did not see the deceased, or hear any thing of him. John Baily—Was in the house between seven and eight on that evening. Asked where the deceased was. The prisoner replied that he was in bed, dying of a certain disease. That he had taken as much medicine as would kill a horse, and had salivated himself, and had holes in his cheeks large enough to put her finger in. James Dean—Saw the deceased on that Sunday morn ing, who said he was much better in his health, and had worked the week before. About a fortnight previously I saw the prisoner, and asked her how her.husband was. She said he was neither better nor worse, and she would give 1,0001. to see him dead, rather than he should con tinue to live in that state. Mr. Whittaker, a surgeon—Saw the deceased some time before his death, and was satisfied that he was labouring under no such disease as was represented by the prisoner. John Cork, a farmer—Saw the prisoner on the day of the burial of the deceased. She was then in custody on this charge. I asked her how came she to do this ? " Oh!" said she, " bad company—bad company, and the devil's works !" Henry Pethick, a surgeon—Examined the body of the deceased on the 18th of June. Found all the internal parts very healthy. The internal coat of the stomach was covered over with red spots. I carried home the contents of the stomach, and analyzed them. I tried the three usual tests, and the result was such as afforded a very strong presumption of the existence of arsenic. Cross -examined—These tests are not infallible. The symptoms are extremely various where death arises from arsenic. I have heard some physicians say that the appear ances after death by the cholera are the same as by arsenic. There was no arsenic visible on the coat of the stomach. If arsenic was administered in a state of dissolution, no particle of it would appear on the coat of the stomach ; or if the sto mach was full when administered, and much vomiting fol lowed, no particle of it might remain. To make the tests infallible, the precipitate should again be reduced into oxide, which I did not do in this instance. On behalf of the prisoner, Mr. Tucker, a surgeon in Exeter, deposed that the tests above alluded to were ex tremely fallacious. Mr. Godsworthy Gurney, a chemist, deposed that the appearance and tests, stated by Mr. Pethick, affording no evidence of the existence of arsenic. The various secre tions of the stomach might, by the same process, produce the same result. Mr. Justice PATTESON, under these circumstances, left it to the Jury to say whether the death was caused by poi son, for by the evidence of the last witnesses, that fact was extremely doubtful ; and if the Jury should be of opinion that the deceased did not die through poison, it would be unnecessary to go into the other parts of the case, as under such circumstances the prisoner should be acquitted ; but if the Jury thought that the death was caused by poison, he should then read all the evidence for them. The Jury having deliberated for a short time, found that the death was not caused by poison, upon which the pri soner was Acquitted. HOME CIRCUIT.-GUILDFORD, AUGUST 2. The Commission was opened on Thursday, and business began yesterday. There are fifty prisoners in the calendar, most of them for stealing ; one for violation. There are forty-eight causes, seven of which are special juries. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL presides at _Nisi Prius, and Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE in the Crown Court. DOCKRAY V. WALKER. This action was brought by the plaintiff, a jockey, to recover from the defendant, a sporting gentleman, residing near Red Hill, in this county, 301. ; viz., 101. 10s. for riding and winning two races, and 191. 10s. for the plain tiff's expenses in travelling to and from Brussels, where, in July 1828, the races were run. Mr. THESIGER stated the case. Thomas Payne examined by Mr. Wordsworth.—Wit ness met the defendant at Newmarket in the early part of July, 1828 ; the celebrated horse Helenus was then at Newmarket ; defendant wished to buy him, and to run him at Brussels, and gave witness a commission to make the purchase ; witness bought the horse for defendant ; took him to London, and shipped him for Ostend ; witness then went to the Chatham races, where the plaintiff was, and told him that defendant wished him to go over to Brus sels, and ride Helenus ; plaintiff agreed to go, upon having his expenses paid, and said that as to anything else he would leave it to the honour of the defendant. Witness then went to Margate, where he saw the defendant, Lord Bolingbroke, Mr. St. John, and Mr. Cremeux, a French gentleman ; defendant expressed great anxiety that plaintiff should ride Helenus, and directed witness to write to plain tiff by that post, two letters, one addressed to Chatham— the other to his residence, at Epsom, giving him further instructions to proceed to Brussels ; the letters were written in witness's name by Mr. St. John ; plaintiff re ceived the letters, and went to Brussels, where he arrived on the 20th of July, and the day after, plaintiff, in the presence of the defendant, witness, and the whole party, tried the horse, and reported him fit to run the next day, which was the first of the races ; Helenus was immediately entered, but in the name of Mr. Cremeux, and won the race, whereupon the gold cup and stakes were delivered to the defendant, who presented the cup to Mr. Cremeux ; de fendant also won several large bets upon the race ; Helenus was then matched against a horse of Colonel Charity ; the plaintiff rode him the next day, and won the race, which was for a considerable sum, and excited much interest ; plaintiff afterwards returned to Dover, with defendant, and his party, where defendant desired him to take a chaise to his own house at Epsom ; Helenus afterwards won the Derby, defendant winning large sums ; it was usual to pay five guineas a race to the jockeys when they won ; plaintiff's expenses would be about 13/. Defendant afterwards went abroad for three or four years, and returned a few months ago, and was riding with witness in the Park, when they met plaintiff ; witness said, " There is Dockray ;" defendant said, " I do not like George, he did not treat me well, he threatened to show me up to the Jockey Club ;" witness answered, " Why don't you pay him ?" defendant said, " I paid him at Dover unknown to you ;" witness re plied," Never." Cross-examined by Mr. PLATT—Was a dealer in horses ; had been insolvent ; had had a dispute with defendant, which had been referred to arbitration ; it was the general rule that horses should be entered in the name of their owner ; Helenus was afterwards claimed by the Duke of Richmond, whose property he now is ; Mr Cremeux is dead. Mr. PLATT contended for the defendant, that as the horse was entered in the name of Cremeux, he must be considered, in point of law, to have been the owner, and to have hired the plaintiff. _ _ Lord Chief Justice TINDAL-It was a singular circum stance that th e h orse was en t ere d in Cremeux's name, but it was for the Jury to determine whether the evidence satis fied them that the defendant had engaged plaintiff. The evidence as to the custom of paying the gratuity of five guineas appeared to him slight. Verdict for the plaintiff, damages Nineteen Pounds Ten Shillings. HOCKLEY AND OTHERS V. MASON. This was an action by the plaintiffs as executors of James Crooke, formerly a brewer of Guildford, against the defendant John Mason, of Guildford, shopkeeper, on a promissory dated May, 1828, for 381., payable with interest on demand. Mr. PLATT and Mr. CHAMBERS were for the plaintiffs, and Mr. THESIGER for the defendant. Mr. PLATT stated the cese, and said he should prove defendant's hand-writing, which was the disputed point. John Mills—Had known defendant thirty years, and had frequently seen him write ; had no doubt that the signature to the note was defendant's writing. Cross-examined—Never saw him sign John Mason, senior. Francis Piggott, a banker's clerk, had no doubt it was defendant's signature. Arthur Muggridge and Andrew Hooke also thought the signature to be defendant's hand-writing. Jnmes Crooke was son of the testator ; his father wrote the body of the note ; defendant told witness that it was not his signature, but the signature of his son, John Mason ; defendant said he had been very ill-used at Guildford, but witness's father had been his best friend. Mr. THESIGER (for the defendant) said he should prove the signature was not the defendant's hand-writing. He should call for the books of the deceased ; and if they contained a charge to the amount of 381. against the de fendant, he would surrender the cause. Mr. PLATT said there were no such books. John Drewitt had known defendant 25 years ; the hand. writing was so much larger and better than defendant's that he did not think it was his. William Inskip had known defendant 18 years ; did not believe it to be defendant's signature ; all the letters but the o and the h in John were different. Joseph Mason, defendant's son—lt was not his father's signature ; his father signed, " John Mason, sen. ;" his fa ther was not in want of money in 1828 ; there were three other John Masons in the town, besides witness's brother. William Mason, another son, said it was not his father's hand-writing. Mr. PLATT, in reply, stated that the defendant had not ventured to call his son, John Mason, who, if he had really signed the no t e , as th e d e f en d an t h a d stated, would, by his evidence, have put an end to the case. It was not the custom for fathers to write " senior" at the end of their names, although sons frequently wrote " junior" at the end of theirs. His Lonnsrn having summed up, The Jury, after a short deliberation, found for the plain tiffs—Dama7e3. A.. 91. 7s. ud. (Before Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE.) Mary Ann Berry, aged 27, was indicted for the man slaughter of Maria Drake. Mr. CHAMBERS conducted the prosecution, and Mr. DUNBAR the defence. Mrs. Isabella Gardner—On Tuesday, the 24th of June, in the afternoon, witness saw the deceased standing on the top of some rubbish in Mint-square, in the Borough, and saw the prisoner prisoner run to her, up with her fist, and knock her on the side of her head ; the deceased im mediately fell, and the prisoner stooped and continued her blows upon the deceased's face and bosom ; she struck about six or eight blows ; her hands went very fast ; the prisoner's husband ran up, put his hands round her waist, and carried her to her father's door, and pushed her in ; in about two Zr three minutes' time the deceased got up ; she died on the Friday morning, at one o'clock. Cross-examined—The prisoner told deceased, if she would come down, she would serve her out ; never heard that deceased died of the cholera ; witness did not strike the prisoner's father-in-law in the face, but the prisoner herself struck him. Edward Evans, surgeon, examined the body of the de ceased ; there were several extensive contusions ; the inner coat of the stomach and the upper part of the intestines were slightly inflamed ; the immediate cause of death was from the slightly inflamed state of the stomach bringing on sickness and bilious diarrhcea, from the unhealthy action of the stomach and bowels ; it might be produced by blows, by the concussion the body received, and by excitement ; could not swear that the state of the stomach was occa sioned by blows, but blows and stamping on the soft parts would be sufficient to produce the effect that followed ; bilious diarrhcea very seldom proved mortal, unless there was something to add to it. Mr. Justice LiTTLEDALE thought the cause of death to be too remote and speculative to convict the prisoner.— Not Guilty. Thomas Pitson, aged thirty, was indicted for the man. slaughter of Henry Hawes. an Friday, 10th of July, the prisoner, who was a coal whipper, was at work near St. Katharine's Dock with the deceased, who was a more powerful and heavier, but older man than himself. They had been previously good friends ; but it appeared that the deceased had been remarkably quarrelsome and desirous of fighting the prisoner during the greater part of the day, and that the prisoner refused to fight, saying he had a large family to work for and main ta:n. They afterwards went into a public-house and drunk some porter. Whilst there William Bickerston, the waiter, gave evidence that the deceased took a halfpenny out of his pocket, and told the prisoner he was determined either to lick or be licked, and that he would fight him for that half penny. The prisoner said, if he would have it, he must, and rose. Witness interfered, and got between them, on which they went out, and the deceased struck the prisoner, and the prisoner struck the deceased in the mouth, a pretty hard blow, and he fell with the back of his head on the stones ; the prisoner struck only one blow ; the deceased was the most violent ; the prisoner did not wish to quarrel. Burgess, an officer, saw the blow struck, and the de ceased fall ; the prisoner appeared very sorry, and stood still ; he afterwards assisted in carrying deceased into the public-house, and said he would rather have given 5/. than that it should have happened ; the deceased-was not then supposed in danger. _ Other witnesses proved that the prisoner was desirous to avoid fighting, and was a quiet man. The deceased was conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital in this county, where he shortly afterwards died. Mr. Meymott, the surgeon, stated that the skull was fractured, and that. death was occasioned by the extravasa tion of blood, caused principally by the laceration of the brain. This witness was ingeniously cross-examined by Mr. Chambers, with a view to show that the rupture of the vessels which occasioned the collection of blood might have arisen from the deceased's own excitement and exertion ; but he thought not, although he would not positively swear that the fracture caused the death. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said if the deceased had struck the prisoner in the public-house, and the blow had been im mediately returned, it might hav e b een j us tifi a bl e homicide ; but the prisoner agreed to fight, and they both went out f)r that purpose. It therefore, was not an act of self defence, but amounted to manslaughter. Verdict—Guilty, with a recommendation to mercy. His LORDSHIP sentenced the prisoner to ten days' im prisonment. MIDLAND CIRCUIT—WARTrIcr, Auousr 1. (Nisi Prius Court.—Before Mr. Justice PARK, and a Special Jury.) cium. CON.---BIRD V. SMART. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. The da mages were laid at 5,0001. Mr. Serjeant GOULBURN, Mr. HILL, and Mr. Amos conducted the case for the plaintiff ; Mr. BALGUY CLARK appeared for the d e f en d ant. Mr. Serjeant GOTILBURN stated the case. and Mr. The plaintiff carried on the business of a general carrier, on a very extensive scale in the town of Birmingham. The defendant was a corn-factor, residing in the same town. The parties were near neighbours, and lived on terms of the most intimate familiarity. During the continuance of this friendly intercourse, it was alleged that the defendant, Mr. Smart, forgetting the principles of a man of honour, had converted the confiding indulgence of his friend into the means of effecting his disgrace ; it was alleged that, profiting by the opportunities afforded him by the unsus pecting friendship of the husband, he had prosecuted his designs against the wife, and had finally succeeded in ac complishing her ruin. Adams Birch —I m a solicitor, living at Kidderminster, and brother to the plaintiff ; he was married to Sarah Walton, at St. Mary's church, Lichfield, on the 7th of • August, 1824 ; he was then 27 years of age ; I have not been much in the habit of visiting them ; but, as far as my observation went, they were living very happily together ; they have had one child ; my brother always treated his wife with the greatest kindness, which was returned on her part. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARK—When the subject of the present action was first spoken of, I was sent for by my father, who resides seven miles from Birmingham ; at my father's house I had an interview with the solicitor for the plaintiff and my father ; I went in a carriage with Mr. Haynes, my step-father, and'a sister of Mrs. Bird, to my brother's house ; I saw Mrs. Bird, and requested her to go to her brother ; she appeared very much surprised and shocked, and refused to comply with my request ; she said she would not be taken from her husband's house, and de sired to see him ; she was not allowed to see him ; I did not tell her that if she did not leave the house, means would be taken to compel her ; all that was done took place in the presence and with the concurrence of her brother.

Cross-examined—I visit them once or twice a year ; I met several people there at supper ; amongst others the defendant Smart, Mr. Everard, a Birmingham manufac turer, and his wife. Mrs. Everard and Mrs. Bird seemed to be on very intimate terms. John Barnet, brother-in-law to the plaintiff, likewise bore testimony to the harmony that existed between the parties. Ann Lee—l ara living at service at Perry-bar ; I was in the service of the plaintiff, Mr. Bird, in May, 1832, and left it in the February following ; I gave my mistress notice in consequence of some difference between us ; while I was in the service of Mrs. Bird, I was frequently employed by her to carry notes to Mr. Smart ; I took as many as twenty or thirty ; her usual directions to me on such occasions were not to deliver the note if Mr. Bird, or any one else hap pened to be in the warehouse, but to say that I was going for some music which Miss Hans had promised to write for her ; Mr. Bird usually came home to supper on Saturday at nine, and was absent again till one o'clock ; Saturdays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays were busy nights, being fly" nights ; Smart came in at seven o'clock in the evening after I had taken a note ; he went into the dining-ro om ; the drawing-room is in front, and the dining-room is in the rear ; they are connected by folding doors ; I had brought in candles and pulled down the blinds before they went it blind was not quite so wide as the window ; the the shutters THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 4, 1834, are outside, and are usually closed when candles are lighted ; but, in consequence of some suspicion I had neglected to close the s h u tt ers ; I went up to the window with Eliza Andrews, 'and looked through the spare uncovered by the blind ; I saw the lady in the arms of the gentleman ; they were stooping down together ; I could not see the state of their dress as some furniture intervened ; I went away and left Eliza at the window ; in three minutes afterwards the bell rang, and I went into the parlour ; Mrs. Bird was sitting on one side of the fire, and Mr. Smart on the other : Mrs. Bird called for a glass of water ; Mr. Smart went away before Mr. Bird returned home. On another occasion,when Mr. Bird had gone on a journey ; I took a note from Mrs. Bird to Mr. Smart ; I took supper into the dining-room, at nine o'clock ; Mrs. Bird was standing at the window ; after I had taken the things away she came to me in the kitchen, and asked if I had not heard a noise ; I said I had not ; she then went to the back half door, and came back again, saying -she enuld n o t res t ; I as k e d her what was the matter ; she said there was a knock at the front door ; I and Eliza and Mrs. B. went to the door ; we did not see any body ; Mrs. Bird then went into the dining-room, telling me to fasten the door ; I locked it, and put the key in a plate-bucket in the dining-room ; Mrs. Bird told me to bring a glass and son e wine from the closet, and that I might then go to bed as she intended to remain, to finish her book ; I was al ways in the habit of accompanying her to her room, parti cularly when Mr. B. was absent ; I took the plate bucket and went up stairs with Eliza ; we remained upon the land ing -place of the second floor, and listened ; we heard two persons talking ; one of the voices was very like Smart's, but I cannot say positively that it was his, though I have known him a year ; the talking continued for a quarter of an hour, when we went up stairs ; in the morning I brought the plate-basket out of Mrs. Bird's room ; when I went down I found the hall-door locked, but not bolted, as I had left it. Mr. Smart came on another occasion at 10 o'clock, and staid till 11 ; I observed Mrs. Bird's hair very much disordered ; when he went away, she went up stairs and arranged it ; I saw the inside of one of the notes I took to Smart ; it begun " My dear George ;" she told me the object of the note was to tell Mr. Smart to come ; she went out the next day, and when she returned she told me she had been walking about the Lady Wood, and had met Mr. Smart, and that he was to come to go to church with her the next day ; he called with a lady, and they went to church together ; it was old Mr. Bird that first spoke to me on this business ; I know Mr. Hayward, the solicitor for the defendant ; he came to me, and said he would send for me ; he did so, and examined me four hours, and took down what I said ; he said he had been to Eliza, and that she knew nothing except what I had told her ; I told him she knew the facts as well as I did ; I have had another interview with Mr. Hayward since, when he said that Eliza had told him that I had told her more than I had told him. Cross-examined by Mr. BALGUY—Smart came to Mr. Bird's house when Mr. B. was at home as well as when he was absent ; I can't tell the day of the month when Smart was in the dining-room, as I have described ; the talking I spoke of was between whispering and talking ; it was im possible to hear it on the landing-place if the door was open, but not if it was shut ; on the occasion when I looked in at the window, I left Eliza there, and returned to the brewhouse to skin a hare ; in September, 1833, I was ex amined by Mr. Haynes ; when old Mr. Bird heard my ac count, he bore it much better than I could have expected ; he said, " Oh, her music has brought her to this !" he did not go down on his knees, and thank me for the informa tion ; he made me no offer. Re-examined by Mr. HlLL—Nobody has offered me a farthing for the information I have given. Eliza Andrews corroborated the evidence of Ann Lea in every particular ; she was more decisive as to what she wit nessed through the window than the former witness. Mr. BALGUY then addressed the Jury for the defendant. He said that during a long professional career, he had never stood up to address a Jury under feelings of deeper anxiety than on that occasion. He did not consider himself merely the paid advocate of Mr. Smart ; his feelings alone would prompt him to undertake the defence of a helpless woman, who was on the point of being sacrificed to the calumny of base and infamous intriguers. He pointed out the dis crepancy between the stories of the witnesses in their de scription of what they saw through the window, the 'impro bability of many of the circumstances ; and commented se verely on the conduct of old Mr. Bird, for the eagerness he displayed in endeavouring to criminate his son's wife. This was not done without a motive. Finally, he reminded the Jury, that by admitting such evidence, they would sanction a system of suspicious espionage, which would destroy the intercourse of friends and neighbours. Mr. Justice PARK summed Upagreat length. lie said the case was the most peculiar he had ever met with, as it rested entirely upon the question, had the criminal con nexion taken place or not ? If they were of opinion it had, they were not to give the plaintiff vindictive damages, but what might be an adequate - remuneratioh for the injury he had sustained. Verdict for the defendant. ARSON. Richard Bustin and Joseph Watkins were indicted for feloniously setting fire to several stacks of wheat, hay, beans, and straw, the property of Edward Charles Ralph Sheldon, Esq., in the parish of Brailes, on Monday, March 31st. Richard Hall—l am a labourer, living at Whitehouse. On Monday I was returning from Tysoe, in company with William Loden, when we observed a fire proceeding from Mr. Sheldon's rick-yard ;we went to it, and found a hay rick and bean-stack on fire. I called up Mumford, who lived on the premises ; took a horse, and set off to acquaint Mr. Sheldon ; I arrived about 12 o'clock. As I was going through Brailes, I saw two ricks belonging to Mr. Baker, on fire ; th ey s t oo d a m il e an d a h a lf f rom Mr. Sheldou's ricks. John Mumford—l am waggoner to Mr. Sheldon. My house is 20 yards from the rick-yard. On Easter Monday, the night of the fire, I went to bed at eight o'clock ; be- , tween 10 and 12 I was alarmed by Richard Hall. The ricks were on fire ; the barn, and all the buildings on the premises, including my house, were all consumed. There were twelve ricks in the yard, and one in the barn ; five wheat ricks, four bean ricks, one barley rick, and one straw rick. I know the prisoners Watkins and Bustin ; they were labourers, living in a place in Back-lane, in the town of Brailes, a mile and three-quarters from Mr. Sheldon's house. The shortest way from Back-lane to the premises of Mr. Sheldon is by the Banbury road ; there is a foot road in the same direction, but it is longer. Harriet Young—l am the wife of Joseph Young, a la bourer, living at Brailes ; my husband occupies the last house in the lane ; on Easter Monday last, the prisoner Bustin resided under the same roof with us ; our apart ments were separated by a thin partition ; I know the pri soner Watkins ; he lives four doors from me, in the Back lane ; at one o'clock on Easter Monday night, I was awoke by an alarm from Watkins's wife ; my husband went to the fire ; I went to bed again ; at ten o'clock the following morning I saw Bustin ; he said to dame Fowler and me, " Did you hear me call or knock at the partition ?" We frequently converse through the partition. I said I did not hear him knock ; on the Friday after the fire, I saw Bustin at my house in the evening, after his return from work ; he came in, sat by the fire, and said, "Do you re collect what I told you two months ago at the yard door ?" —(The conversation alluded to was, that those who lived the longest would see the most.) He said that he and Watkins were to set Mr. Baker's and Mr. Sheldon's ricks on fire ; and that he (Bustin) was to set fire to those of Gibbs and some other person ; he said that they had gone to fire them on Thursday, but that they were baffled by three men coming from Banbury ; those men were Thomas Greenwav, John Young, and William Burrows, who, he said, had been to the lawyers for an increased allowance ; in consequence of meeting them, they (the prisoners) turned back ; I saw Bustin on the Sunday after the ire, when I said to him, " Have you thought of what you told me ?" He said, " Yes, I have ; I have had two sleeps ;" I said, " I feel very uncomfortable to think that neighbours would do such a thing ;" he made no reply, but left the house ; on the Sunday following he came to my house after church, and said to my husband, "If your wife will stick to what I have said, we shall get the reward ;" at that time the handbills, offering a reward, were printed ; I said, " I shall say nothing about it, for I know nothing." Joseph Young, husband to Harriet Young, stated that Watkins had said to him and others, " That it would be a good thing if the 'Squire's house was set fire to ton years ago, and he in the middle of it." Mary Hemming deposed to the same fact. Thomas Gregory stated that he said to Bustin " Bustin, your union will do no good—the only way to do the farmers is to leave the women and children to them ;" Bustin re plied, That won't do, Gregory, but depend upon it some thing bad will happen to them before long ;" after the fire Bustin said to him, " he would not believe it was done by anyone—it was done by the providence of God ; when the reward was offered, Bustin said to him, " If we were to tell, we would not get the reward." --- Thomas Brewer stated that as he was returning home, in company with Bustin, on the Saturday evening after the fire, he (witness) was blaming the person, whoever he was, who had set fire to the premises ; Bustin said it was only a part of a plan, for that they had agreed to set fire to the premises of Derling and Gibbs ; but thet as they were go ing they met three men, who al' red them so that they dropped their matches and r p. lowing as he was going .Lurr . ied ; on the the pH- and that Monday fol soner Bustin, he - • .0 work, in company with .aid that W a tki ns came t o him on Friday, b:- . y atkins had gone up the backway and concealed lf in the shrubbery until Mumford went to bed ; that - the l y se went down and set fire to the ricks, by putting a match in each, and when they came to Mr. Baker's there was but one match left ; he likewise said they intended to have done it ten weeks previous. Thomas Handcock found eight matches on the road near Baker's premises. John Davis met Bustin after the fire, when he said " Davis, there has been a rare fire, it is no more than what they must expect, it was a judgment on them." Samuel Gibbs deposed that the prisoners applied to him for work at the vestry, which he refused ; he had Bustin in custody, and seeing him playing with a little boy, he said, " Bustin, with what did you set fire to the ricks ?" he re plied. " With matches to be sure ;" witness said, " With what sort of matches ?" he replied, " With brown paper matches." James Spicer stated that on the Monday after the fire Bustin said to him that Watkins had asked him how he got on at Justice meetings, when he said, Very bad, but before long he intended to have both law and justice ; he then went on to state that he and Watkins had laid a plan to'fire the ricks ; that one of them was to set fire to Baker's and Sheldon's, while the other fired Derling's and Gibbs's. John Bel6my, a constable, apprehended the prisoners ; he searched Watkins's house, and found a small piece of paper, the water-mark and quality of which corresponded with the paper that wrapped the matches found by the witness Handcock. A licensed victualler, who served Bustin, stated that Bustin said to him on Tuesday morning that he was very uneasy in his mind f for that all he had said before the magistrates about Watkins was false ; he said it was a man named Davis, a pensioner, who induced him to depose against Watkins, in order to get the reward ; witness re quired him to give a written statement to that effect, which he did. The statement accusing Davis was then read, when he declared there was not a word of truth in it. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Justice TAUNTON told the Jury that there was no evidence affecting the prisoner Watkins ; they must neces sarily acquit him. He then summed up the evidence im plicating the prisoner Bustin. Verdict—Guilty, Death. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. An Irish Chelsea pensioner, named James Kennedy, was charged before the LORD MAYOR with having refused to assist his wife, in consequence of which she became charge able to the parish. The parish officers stated that the defendant used to leave with them the power to take up his pension, to in demnify them for the expense incurred by his wife. He had, however, thought proper of late to refuse to give any assistance, and they were obliged to make him responsible before the Lord Mayor. They were, they said, rather sur prised at hearing that the plea of the defendant was, that he was not a married man. The defendant said it was true he had lived with the woman some years ago in Ireland ; but her fondness for whiskey had reduced him to the last extremity, and he ran away from her. She, however, found him out, and he was weak enough to be misled by her again ; but as her love of gin was as great as her love of whiskey, he was resolved to cut her for ever, and the most effectual way to do that was to let her make out a living for herself. The LORD MAYOR—I suppose the poor woman is s your wife ? Defendant—Not herself, in troth. Nelly, jewil, tell God's truth. Mrs. Kennedy—Why, then, Jim dear, is it you that axes me to sell my sowl ? Oh, then, it's you that knows we were married fast enough twenty years ago. The LORD MAYOR—Who married you ? Mrs. Ken nedy—Who ! why a Priest, to be sure. He was called Thady Devoo. I wish he was here, to make Jim ashamed ; but he could'nt come, for he was drownded. Defendant—Well, then, Nell Smith, drop all this hum bugging ; the devil a one of her was ever married to me, no more nor your Lordship. Do you think that, if she was my wife, I'd lave her this way ? . - The LORD MAYOR—She has been twenty years living with you as a wife, at any rate, and it is cruel to cast her off now. I should never expect that in an old soldier. Defendant—But she drinks me out of house and home. You might drink in the dark with her, she'd find the way to her mouth. Mrs. Kennedy—Jim honey, I'll take my oath I'll never touch a drop of gin again. Let us go home together, aura. Defendant—No, I mus'nt be guilty of the sin no more. I've taken to serious thinking lately ; so goodbye to you, Mrs. Smith. The Loan MAYon—Novi you belong to a warm-hearted nation, and I am sure you will not desert this poor woman after having been her companion for so many years. Come, what will you give her out of your pension, to enable her to live ? She has nobody else in the world to look to, and I know you are a good fellow. Defendant—Why, then, upon my sowl, you tell a man how to do his duty better nor any one I ever saw since I was born. The LORD MAYOR—You look just .as if you'd settle upon her the half of your pension ? What do you say ? Defendant—Why, then, it's I that won't make a liar of my looks ; but I am afraid that I shall look like a fool after I've done it. The LORD MAYOR—Depend upon it, you'll feel like an honest man. The Irishman then gave the parish officers authority to receive the half of his pension. The pensioner had fought at Waterloo. BO W-STREET. MISCONDUCT OF AN OMNIBUS CONDUCTOR. William Bridges, the conductor of the omnibus No. 233, running between Paddington and the Bank, appeared at this office on a warrant to answer a complaint charging him with having violently assaulted Mr. George R. Innes, a gentle man residing in Lyon's Inn, on the 30th of last month, un der the following circumstances : Mr. Innes, the complainant, deposed that on the day above named, he hailed the defendant's omnibus in the Strand, when, in answer to an inquiry made by him (the defendant), he said he was going to Hyde Park-corner. Witness then entered his omnibus, and they had proceeded as far as Piccadilly, when he perceived that the vehicle was turning into Regent-street. He called to the defendant to stop, but received no reply. He repeated his demand in a louder tone of voice, without any indication of compliance, however, on the part of the conductor. He then told him that unless the carriage were stopped immediately, he should burst open the door, which he proceeded to do, finding his wishes were still not complied with. On this the omnibus drew up, having arrived at the corner of Air street, and he was descending the steps to leave the car riage, when the defendant seized him by the collar, de manded sixpence as his fare, and abused him in the grossest manner. The defendant denied that he had said the omnibus was bound for Hyde Park, and declared that he was unable to stop, in consequence of being hemmed in by carriages. He was fined 40s. and costs, and in default of payment committed for one month to the House of Correction. The defendant not being able to pay, was removed in custody. BURGLARY.—John Oakley, a shabby-looking young man, was placed at the bar, charged with having committed a burglary in the house of Mr. Courtney, a cheesemonger, of Clare-court, Drury-lane. It appeared that the prisoner had, about three months since, been in the employ of the prosecutor as a shopman, but had been discharged in con sequence of some petty theft. About three o'clock on the morning of the robbery, he was seen by a man named Wil cox, an opposite neighbour, on the ledge over the shop front of Mr. Courtney's house, endeavouring to obtain an en trance by one of the windows, which he had opened, but found the shutters closed inside. He had also tried an other window, with, however, no better effect. Wilcox immediately called Sweeney, a policeman, and informed him of what he had seen. The prisoner then ran round the ledge into Clare -court, where he entered the house by means of a window leading on to a landing-place, through which it was supposed he had passed in going round to the front window, on finding the front room locked. The alarm was now given to the prosecutor, who gave directions that a trap-door leading from his cellar into Clare-court, should be looked to. Sweeney, the constable, accordingly placed himself near the spot, when the prisoner almost immediately after rushed up the trap-door, and was taken into custody and conveyed to the station-house. On the prosecutor's searching his hous e to ascertain whether any property was missing, he di s _ covered that two silver spoons had been removed from the cupboard in the kitchen to the dresser, where they were ready to be carried off. A table-knife had also been removed, which was found on the ledge under the window which he had attempted to open. The trap-door throu g h w hi c h h e left the house had apparently been his place of entrance, as the fastenings had all been forced open, the prisoner having doubtless fixed upon this spot as th e eas i est o f access. Nothing whatever was missing from th e h ouse, t h e p l ate, &c., having been placed in the front room, into which the prisoner had endeavoured to obtain admission.; The prisoner made no defence, and was committed for trial. MARLBORO UGH- STREET. John Bartholomew, a footman out of place, and Daniel Leach, footman to M r . M ann i ng , so li c it or , H er tf or d- s t ree t , May-fair, were put to the bar before Mr. DYER, on suspi cion of having been concerned in a recent robbery of a large quantity of plate, belonging to Mr. Manning. Mr. Manning, jun., made the following statement :—The prisoner Bartholomew had formerly been in his father's ser vice as footman, and after he was discharged he was allowed to visit the other servants occasionally. On Wednesday night, about twelve o'clock, just as witness had retired to bed, he heard a sort of crash, as if from slamming or break ing a door. He got up and went on the staircase, but not hearing the noise repeated, he thought it must have pro ceeded from something outside the house, and consequently took no further notice of it. In the morning ----l one o i l servants came to him, and told him that the Paoa p igg been brok e n i n t o , an d a ll the plate stolen. O n ger this, witness set on foot an inquiry, azal proceeded to ed Ito L o loons ar ous tion the serv an t s . F ee li n g hi s susp Leach' that what he elicited ; h e gav e the footman, Dm:iel custody. Having learnt, in the course of his oqu ir l e , s ,' pre' Bartholomew had slept in the house on the ItiP n ' n 'i r y . • 0 0 vious to the robbery, and had been seen in the p• I c ir• the Tuesday following ; and having also learnt oth' h se cumstances of an unexpected nature, he determined ix' him apprehended, and gave directions to that effect ri g , police. When the prisoner was taken, and his lou r a i searche d,a speaking-trumpet belonging to his fatherwas 4;4 To questions put by Mr. DYER, Mr. Manning, iu n . tr the prisoner Bartholomew had never received per sleep in the house, nor was the circumstance of his 5 " known to the family. • of In defence, the footman, Leach, said he knew n oth le the robbery. The 'cook went down first on Wcd ne ,door morning, and when he got down he found the pantil open, and the plate gone. AAirs $ The cook, who was present, said she got down t ot few minutes before the prisoner, but she did not node, the pantry had been entered. As soon as the P"" t bat came down he went to the pantry, and gave the alarm the plate was stolen. 1. 5 9 Mr. Manning having applied for a remand, both PT' ers were ordered to be brought up again on Wedn esua) j 9 io Colonel Fremantle's coachman appeared to e oll f3 of against Count Pollen's coachman, for having, on the July, broken one of the pannels of his master's carroriii The accident, it appeared, occurred at a party g iven bY o f Grace the Duke of Wellington, at which the concoursear fashionables was so great, that it became necessary i v g e range the carriages in ranks ; and it appeared the d a P t bo was occasioned by the defendant attempting to dist urn arrangement. MAGISI° After hearing a good deal of evidence, the . gel decided that the defendant was to pay 51. for the clan' and 51. fine, and costs. INFORMER DEFEATED.—Four informations wer la two common informers, named Byrne and Clark. ago `e' Mr. Lane, landlord of the Coach and Horses publictioll'r Frith-street, for various offences alleged to have bee 11 :0 mitted in his house on four separate days.

The defers appealed against the decision, on the ground that the;:idlr was a private . one ; but Byers not appearing at the x 1 „ 0 0.! sex Sessions on Thursday, the conviction wa s of ' ' e l f quashed. The adjourned cases came on again on s stti r t for hearing ; when Mr. Hobler, jun., urged , on the P. 3 be the defendants, that the informations ought ' to be 131 4# fore the Magistrates of the division, and that the "" The trates of Queen-square h a d no j ur i s di c ti on at all• point was referred to the opi n i on o f th e Attorney-elj- LAMBETH- STREET.
