Charles Dyer was indicted for maliciously wounding John Organ with a hatchet, with intent to kill and mur der him. Mr. Prideaux conducted the case fur the prosecution ; Mr. Stone defended the prisoner. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor was a carpenter at Frome, and the prisoner was his appren tice. On the 20th of September the prosecutor and pri soner had been out together in a cart. On their return home the prosecutor found fault with something the prisoner had done, and the latter becoming abusive, the prosecutor struck him with a small stick. The prisoner went to another part of the shop, seized a hatchet, and struck the prosecutor with the hatchet on the head, and inflicted a severe wound, and afterwards said, if he had not split his skull he would do so. Mr. STONE, in addressing the jury for the prisoner, said he had not an opportunity of telling his story, or ex plaining his conduct. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said, that in his opinion every prisoner had a right to make a defence for himself, in ad dition to what might be urged in his behalf by his coun sel, otherwise the Prisoners' Counsel Bill would be one of the most unjust things in the world. Mr. STONE then contended that the prisoner had only acted in self-defence, and suggested that the Jury might secure the prisoner punishment by finding hun guilty of a common assault. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said, that it was not a case of common assault. If the prisoner had only acted in self defence, and had not done more than was requisite, they would acquit him altogether. He was very sorry that the Legislature had introduced such a power, because it enabled juries, as it were, to legislate. It was, in his opinion, a very dangerous thing. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said, he disapproved of a master striking an apprentice ; at the same time, the prisoner had been guilty of great misconduct in abusing his master. The sentence of the Court was that the prisoner be imprisoned for a year. Isaac Padfield was indicted for maliciously wounding John Horler. Mr. Stone conducted the case for the prosecution, and Sir. Edwards defended the prisoner. From the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared that he and the prisoner were going along the road, the latter riding on a donkey, when some persons who were with them pulled the prisoner off the donkey. The prisoner then threw two stones at the prosecutor, which struck him. It then seemed that Horler struck the prisoner's father and mother, who were present, several times. The prisoner then threw a third stone, which struck the prosecutor on his head, and inflicted a severe wound. He was attended by a surgeon for two months, and se veral pieces of bone were removed. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said, this was one of the cases which would justify a party being convicted of a common assault. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Not of an assault, gentlemen? Did he not throw the stone ? The jury—My Lord, we think he was justified. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—No, gentlemen, he was not justified in point of law. You must reconsider that. If you think he did not throw the stone, that is another thing. The Learned JUDGE, after the jury had been con sulting some time, said, he thought he must under the Act of Parliament confine their attention to the third stone, and the prisoner might have been justified in throwing that, if he did no more than was necessary in his own defence. The jury then returned - a verdict of Not Guilty. Enoch Porch, George Suddery, and John Love, were indicted for assaulting John Newman, on the highway, putting him in fear, and robbing him of :a jacket and a pair of trousers, near Freshford, on the 26th of October. From the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared, that on the evening in question he was going home, carrying a bundle containing a jacket and trousers. When he got to Freshford Mill-lane, he heard a noise in an orchard adjoining the lane, lie looked to see the cause of it, and observed three men lying under a hedge. He asked what they were doing. One of them said, " What is that to you ?" The men came over the hedge and walked on. The prosecutor followed them to see who they were. lie overtook them, and Porch collared him and threw him down in a ditch, by the road side. The other two men (who were the other prisoners) then came to his assistance. They fell upon him and beat him, and one of them took away his bundle. He called for assistance, and a man named Freeman came to him, but the prisoners threw stones and potatoes at them. In cross-examination by the prisoner Porch, the pro secutbr said he knew him well, because they had worked together on the tread-wheel in the goal. By the JUDGE—I was in prison for pulling out the tongue of a mule. I was not tried in a Court. I was sent to gaol by the magistrate. The JUDGE—What, was this in England ? The witness—Yes, my Lord. The JUDGE—Are you sure it was not in France ? for I don't know under what law it was. Freeman swore that ho saw the three men ; they were the prisoners. They surrounded him and knocked him down. He had known Suddery before. The jury found all the prisoners Guilty. Proof was given of the former convictioa of all the pri soners in Wiltshire. The prisoners were then sentenced to 15 years' trans portation.

The assizes for Shropshire terminated yesterday after noon, and Mr. Justice Coltman was enabled to reach Stafford by about ten at night, when the commission was immediately opened. The labours of the Learned Judge have been exceedingly severe during the present circuit, the unexpected pressure of business obliging him at Gloucester, Worcester, and Shrewsbury, to continue in Court after midnight ; indeed on Monday night the trials were protracted until nearly three in the morning. These lengthened and onerous duties, during such severe weather, have been productive of serious annoyances to many, if dangerous results should not follow to some ; and we regret to add that his Lordship is himself a sufferer from the inclemency of the season and his ardu ous avocations, which have nearly deprived him of the power of articulation. _ LAMERT ON DEBILITY, NERVOUSNESS, AND ALL DISORDERS ARISING FROM EXCESS, &c.

Mr. Yardley appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Huddleston for the prisoner. The prosecutor, a servant in the employ of the Bir mingham Canal Company, had been directed, with several others, to protect the waters of their employers from the nets and lines of unauthorised fishermen. During the night several trespassers were detected, two of whom stoutly resisted the authority of the watchers, and were enabled by the aid of a mob, who assembled very quickly on the commencement of the disturbance, to maintain a protracted fight, in which the assailants were ultimately defeated. About two hours after the cessation of the conflict, as the prosecutor and his com panions wero passing under a bridge, the prisoner, who had been active with the mob at the previous fight, dropped a brickbat on the head of the prosecutor, from the effects of which ♦iolence he was rendered insensible, and continued for many weeks in so precarious a state that the trial of the prisoner was postponed at the summer assizes, in consequence of Whitfield's inability to appear as a witness. From the evidence of the surgeon, it appeared that the sk - ull of the prosecutor had been fractured by the blow, but that no rupture of the euticle had taken place, whereupon Mr. Justice COLTMAN intimated that the: charge of felony could not be supported. The prisoner was convicted of an assault, and in con sideration of his previous imprisonment was sentenced only to four months' hard labour.: Abraham Sharratt, aged 23, and John Pickering, aged 26, two resolute and formidable-looking fellows, were charged with a burglary in the house of Edith Bourne, at Elford, on the 20th of September, and with stealing a variety of articles therein. Mr. Meteyard conducted the prosecution, and the prisoners defended themselves. On the night of Friday, the 2Gth of September, the dwelling-house of the prosecutrix, a maiden lady of re spectability, residing in the vicinity of Tamworth, was omie secure by the servants, who retired to rest at about ten o'clock. In the morning all the doors were discovered open, and it was ascertained that during the night some persons had entered by the kitchen window, an iron stanchion from the frame of which was found to have been violently Pareed out. On the Monday follow ing the two prisoners were arrested by a constable on the banks of the canal between Tamwoeth and Birming ham, with a variety of articles stolen from the house of Miss Bourne on the person of each. The witnesses were statjected to very long and imper tinent cross-examinations from the prisoner Sharratt, who conducted himself throughout the trial with an un- ' paralleled effrontery, and evidently showed himself to be no novice in the proceedings of a criminal court. They were found Guilty ; and a previous conviction for a similar offenpe having been established ag a i nst tiarrati, lig was sentenced to ten years' tra l op ort‘t w ni and Pickering to eighteen mouthy' hard labour.

A man, named William Makin, aged 29, was charged with having, on the sth of October last, at Lockwood, near lluddersfield, in the West Riding, feloniously and violently assaulted Mary Ann Armytage, and commit ting a repo upon her person. Mr. Pashley and Mr. Monteith prosecuted, and the prisoner was undefended. The prisoner is a married man, residing at Crossland moor, in the parish of Lockwood. The prosecutrix is a mill girl, 15 years of age, and—like too mazy, we fear, of her class—did not appear to possess much of the com modity called modesty. In the witness-box she gave her evidence with the most unblushing impudence, though she ascribed as a reason for not immediately informing any one of what she alleged had been done to her, that she " dursn't do it for shame." The prosecutrix lodged with the prisoner, and before his marriage she had lived with his wife, who at that time had two bastard chil dren. The prosecutrix slept in the same bed with an old woman and a boy, and in the same room slept the prisoner, his wife, and another boy. It was urged for the prosecution, that in the absence of all from the house but the prosecutrix the prisoner effected his purpose, and if her evidence, when examined by her own counsel, was to be believed, much against her own desire. his Lordship, however, who had the depositions before him, put several questions to her, in answering which she committed herself in a variety of ways, contradicting statement after statement almost as soon as she had made it. It appeared that criminal connexion had taken place between them, but that it was in opposition to the girl's desire appeared very doubtful indeed. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE summed up, and presented the case to the jury somewhat in the manner we have de scribed it. The jury retired, however, to consider their verdict, and, after an absence of three minutes, Acquitted the prisoner. In this case the law was so clearly laid down by his Lordship, that surely there was no necessity for the jury to retire. As it is customary, however (that the cases may not be delayed), to swear in another jury imme diately upon the retirement of the preceding case, these Yorkshire juries, after sitting for about two hours, get tired, and when the case concludes they beg to retire, that they may escape for a time the duties which they are called upon to bear. It generally happens that not a minute elapses between the swearing in of the new jury and the return of the others, and in the case above re ported they positively returned before the whole of the ceremony of installing the new jury was concluded. This practice hinders to such a degree the business of the assizes, already so long protracted, and is so notorious to every one here, that we have deemed it our duty briefly to refer to it. John Kendrew, who was yesterday acquitted on an in dictment charging him with feloniously harbouring, aid ing, and assisting his brother, William Kendrew, well knowing him to have been guilty of a felony in wilfully murdering one Mr. Inchbald (az reported yesterday), was to-day placed upon his trial, charged with stealing, on the 29th of September last, at Boroughbridge, one pistol, the property of Ann Glenton. Mr. Wilkins and Mr. Overend prosecuted the prisoner, who, himself, was undefended. The prisoner had lodged in the same house with the prosecutrix, and the case was connected in a great mea sure with that reported yesterday, the pistol having been stolen just prior to starting from Boroughbriclgo with his brother William for Newcastle, where it was pawned. The prisoner was not actually seen to take the pistol ; but he was proved to have known where it used to be kept—to have said soon after the pistol bad bean missed that he had a pistol then, when he was n ever known to have had ono before, and to have pawned it at Newcastle. The duplicate also was found upon him ; the pistol was clearly ideatitled, and on being appre hended he gave false names. Altogether there could be no doubt on the face of the evidence that the nrisoper had been guilty of the Nlpny wlt4 which Q etas 4 a r g p4.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Derby, Dee. 11. (Before Mr. Justice Parresox. ) TIIE:GLOSSOP BURGLARIES. This morning the family of the Swans, who for some time past have been the terror of the northern part of this county, were placed at the bar charged with burg lary, or otherwise receiving property knowing it to have been stolen. The names of the prisoners were John Swan, the elder, Peggy Swan (father and mother), James Swan, George Swan, Samuel Swan, and John Swan (brothers), and Robert Hartley and Mary Ann Hartley (sister and brother in-law). The indictment charged James Swan, George Swan, and Samuel Swan, with having, on the 14th of July last, burglariously broken into the dwelling-house of Mr. Joseph Bennett, of Ash ingclough, in the parish of Glossop, and stolen ther eon t a silver plated tankard, half-a-dozen knives and forks, one ring, a five-shilling coin of the reign of Charles 11., and various articles of wearing apparel. John Swan, the elder, Peggy Swan, John Swan the younger, and Robert and Mary Ann Hartley, were charged wit h Laving received the same articles, knowing them to have been stolen. Mr. Wildman and Mr. Macaulay conducted the pro secution, and Mr. Wilmore defended the prisoners Jelin Swan the eller, Samuel Swan, Peggy Swan, and the Hartleys. As the trial lasted from eleven in the morn ing until seven in the evening, a detailed repo -A is out of the question, and a mere narrative must suffice. The prosecutor, Mr. Bennett, is a respectable farmer residing with his wife and daughter, a young lady about eighteen or nineteen years of age, at Ashingclough, in Glossop, just at the point where the counties of York, Lancaster, Chester, and Derby form a junction. Within x short period a son lived with his parents in the house, but in consequence of marriage, although he still assists in his father's business, young Bennett sleeps on the Saturday and Sunday nights at Hayfield, a village some distance from his father's premises. In addition to car rying on the business of a farmer, Mr. Bennett, who is understood to be a person of independent income, is the collector of the property-tax ; and it was thought that on the night his house was broken into he was iu possession of a very large sum of money. His house is situated its one of those woody, secluded dells, which are so cha racteristic of the scenery of North Derbyshire and the West Riding of Yorkshire. About one o'clock on the morning of Monday, the 15th of July, the prosecutor was alarmed by a noise on the stairs and the bursting in or his bed room door. Three men with their faces black. erred entered the room and demanded his money, or if he refused the death of himself and his family and the burning of the house would be the consequence. The intruders next demanded a candle. Although their faces were blackened, Mr. Bennett to-day swore positively he could, notwithstanding, identify the features of the pri soners James Swan, George Swan, and Samuel Swan. Mrs. Bennett told the men that the candles were in the cellar, when James and Samuel went down stairs, and George remained armed with a sword and pistol, as a guard over the prosecutor and his wife. The two pri soners James and Samuel afterwards returned, and com pelled Mr. Bennett to leave his bed and furnisilthem with a taper. During this time, Miss Bennett, who slept in a higher story of the house, became alarmed, and, descending to her father's bed-room, saw the pri soners proceed to ransack the house. Her first excla mation was, " Don't murder my father and mother !" The father, at the same time, interceded for the safety of his daughter, when the prisoner George said (ad dressing Miss Bennett), " Curse your eyes ! if you don't hold your noise I'll blow your brains out." The thieves then allowed Miss Bennett, who was in her night dress, to get into the bed of her father and mother. James was armed with a bludgeon, and had in his hand when he first entered the room a lighted taper. Samuel had a. poker, and George, as before stated, had a pistol and a sword. They remained in the house upwards of an hour, and carried off with them the various articles already. enumerated. The evidence connecting the three pri soners charged with the burglary with its commission, and corroborative of Mr. Bennett's statement, is briefly as follows :—The previous night the prisoners, who re side at Staleybridge, in Lancashire, a distance of four teen miles—Ashingclough being within two miles of Chapel-en-le-Frith—called at a beer-shop at Hayfield, and went from there together in the direction of Mr. Bennett's house. The next morning they were traced all the way, at several and consistent hours, from Ashingclough, through Hayfield, Charlesworth, and Mottram, carrying bundles, to Staleybridge, where they arrived shortly before six o'clock. The old man (the father), John Swan, formerly kept a beer-shop, and immediately adjoining the house in which he lived at Staleybridge is an unoccupied cotton-mill. From the evidence it would have appeared, had it not been for a mistake made by James Swan in his cross-examination, of a witness, that the mill was in such a state of dilapi dation, that any person at all hours might have had ready access to it. The fact, however, proved to be otherwise. The mill is surrounded by a wall, and the keys, as tenant of his house and the entire premises, were in the possession of James Swan the elder. In this mill were found concealed, not only a considerable quantity of the property stolen from Mr. Bennett, but the pro ceeds of various other robberies committed in the neigh. bourhood. The discovery of the robbery as affecting the prisoners was not a little singular. It appeared that eight days after the robbery at Mr. Bennett's, and when the whole county was excited upon the subject, a Mr. Glossop, a draper, of Ashton-under-Lyne, was at Staley. bridge, and accidentally saw a shawl which had been pawned by Peggy Swan, a daughter (aged 14) of the prisoner John Swan the elder, on the previous Ft iday. Mr. Glossop, being a relation of Mr. Bennett, imme diately identified the shawl, and the mine which ultimately involved the whole of the prisoners in its explosion was immediately sprung. On search ing the premises of John Swan the elder, and with whom James, John, George, and Samuel lived, there were found a loaded pistol, a number of bullets, a Quan tity of skeleton keys, a dark lantern, and a plated silver tankard, beaten to pieces, and thrown into a "swill-tub." In fact, a variety of articles were concealed in the house or the mill at its rear, and all of which were either identified by Mr. Bennett or his family, or proved to be the prod uce o f ot h er b urglaries. Per haps the most distressing incident in to-day's proceed ings was the calling of young Peggy Swan, the daughter of John and old Peggy, and the sister of the other pri soners. The unhappy girl, who wept bitterly, deposed to her having been sent by her father and mother to pawn various articles now identified by Mr. and Misa Bennett as property stolen from Ashingclough on the night the robbery was committed. After completing the search of Swan's house, the officers proceeded to that of Hartley, who married a daughter of the elder Swan, where they found the sword (identified by Mr. Bennett as the one is. the hand of George Swan), a blue dress, a black silk cloak, and various other articles, which Hart ley said were his property. The evidence, however, as to the guilty knowledge of the male prisoner Hartley was very weak, whilst as against his wite, Mary Ann, it was clear and indubitable. She was found in possession of the knives and forks stolen from Itlr. Bennett, and also a ring, upon which were engraved the words—" Re member the giver." Hartley, although there was another indictment against him for burglary, seems to have been the victim of his unfortunate family connexions. He bore an excellent character from his employers, and, had it not been for his wretched brothers-in-law, would in all probability have passed through life as a respectable man, Mr. Justice PATTESON, in summing up the case, re marked that he did not think the evidence materially affected John Swan the younger and Robert Hartley. It was true that John the younger was found in posses. sion of some of the articles of property taken from Mr. Bennett's, and also that other articles were found in the possession of Hartley ; at least, they were found in his house. Still he did not think there was very cogent proof of guilty knowledge against those prisoners. The Learned Judge went at great length through the whole of the evidence, and concluded by expressing his cornice tion that the jury, who had paid such minute attention, to the case, were fully competent to draw a correct dis tinction between the evidence as it affected each prisoner. The jury consulted together for a few moments, and then returned the following verdict :—James Swan, George Swan, Samuel Swan, John Swan the elder, Peggy Swan, and Mary Ann Hartley are Guilty ; Robert Hartley and John Swan the younger are Not Guilty. Mr. Justice PATTESON proceeded to pass sentence. The prisoners had been convicted of a very fearful of fence, an offence for which only a few years ago they would have forfeited their lives. There was in his opi nion sufficient evidence to show that the attack upon Mr. Bennett's house was premeditated ; and he (Mr. Justice Patteson) was of opinion, armed as the three prisoners were, if resistance had taken place murder wo u ld h ave been committed. It was, indeed, a most melancholy spectacle to see a father and mother bringing up chil dren in the way in which they had brought up the pri soners now charged and convicted of the burglary. In all probability had those young men been differently in structed they would have avoided their present disgrace and the severe punishment about to be awarded to them. It was, however, he (Mr. Justice Patteson) believed, of' no use talking to any of the prisoners of the enormity of the offence which they had committed. The sen tence of the Court was, that James Swan, George Swan. and Samuel Swan, be transported for the period of their natural lives; that John Swan, the :elder, and, Peggy Swan (the father and mother), be transported for 10 years; and that Mary Ann Hartley be itaprisoned and kept to hard labour for 12 calendar months. The case of Gallimore, a surgeon at Chesterfield, charged with manslaughter, is fixed for to-morrow morning. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—Bury St. Edmund's, Dm 1 . (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) His LORDSHIP haring briefly charged th, grand jury, with whom he sympathised on the necessity which ex isted for their being called together at a di s t ance f rom their respective homes at this inclement season, while he congratulated them on the smallness of the calendar, proceeded to the despatch of business as soon as the ma terials were supplied to him by their labours. John Luhes, aged 25, stood charged with h av i ng bur gloriously entered the dwelling-hous e of William Jack ion, at Clare, on the nth of Nov em b er l ast, and stealing therein six penoilcases, some silver loin, and two brass candlesticks. Mr. O'Malley appeared for the prosecution. The prosecutor is the village schoolmaster of Clare, a small village-like town on the borders of this county. his school-room, wherein the "young idea" was taught to shoot, forming part of his residence. This im portant place might, perhaps, have been left in unconsidered security. Not so, however, for, though locked up on the night of the day named in the indict ment, which was Saturday, the outer door was found broken open on the following morning, and the articles in question purloined by the intruder. Among other particular parts of the system of education pursued by the prosecutor, he was in the habit of delivering to his 42 liAI2BIC j AY, and 16, NORTON FOLOATE. 4A I) 11* „ T .cc. —Ceruatn and immediate I,'' by i'" 6 f in th e h ours of timidness, by night, or on a Journey, Is 1. 4 d ure Alkaline Preparations of 81-CARBON , Eof /k 1 - `4* compreesed into 'Pills by Brockeden s fatent eY fUrnish an ever ready and instant remedy to those ts. 801mtl,, `"es of the di g esti ve organs , H ear tb u r n , Si c k-h ea d ac h e , (10 ,Sc e prOd Acidity.
