SUMMER ASSIZES. HOME ClRCUlT—C7ielmsford, July 17. (Before Mr. Baron GURNEY and a Common Jury, BREACH OF PROMISE or MARRIAGE.-SPAULL V. FOSTER This was an action brought by Mary Anne Spaull to recover damages front Stephen. Foster, for a breach of promise of marriage. The defendant pleaded that he did not promise in the form alleged in the declaration. Mr. Platt, with Mr. Itussell Gurney, were for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Gray appeared for the defendant. Mr. PLArr stated the case, and said the plaintiff sought compensation or damag cs from the defendant, for hav• lag in a most cruel ma nner outraged her feelings, by having made a solemn promise to marry her. The Learned Counsel proceeded to observe, that the plaintiff was a young lady co': education and great respectability, and at the time she first became acquainted with the de fendant resided with her aunt, who kept a boarding school at Witham in. this county, and she was engaged in that establishment by her aunt to teach the pupils French, music, and other accomplishments, in which she was a proficient. In the course of the year 1841 the plaintiff and the defendant met toge ther at the place of worship they attended, and he shortly after: ards expressed an affection for her. and eventually called upon her aunt, and requested that be might be allowed to visit the plaintiff as a suitor ; and as he and his connections were known to be respect able, no di ffi culty was felt upon the subject, and he con tinued to visit her as an acknowledged suitor until Oc tober in the following year, when he addressed to her the following letter. " Oct. 1, 1842. • "Dear Miss--Fn explanation of yours to-day, I must say that I have made up my mind to discontinue my visits; as I find it, all things considered, impracticable for me to be united, therefore I felt eeluctant to inform you of my alteration of mind.—l remain your sincere well wisher. "P.S.—I have no unkind feelings, I can assure you, towards yourself." It appeared that after this, in consequnce of corn inunications that took place with the defendant, he resumed the intercourse with the plaintiff, and their in timacy continued as before. He always expressed the greatest affection for the plaintiff, and repeatedly expressed his intention to marry her. She was introduced to hie family e nnd treated by them as his affianced wife, and repeatedly went to his father's house. The defendant about this time occupied a farm at I'iptree, and it was expec'ed that the marriage would speedily take place, and indeed things went on so far that the wedding dresses were actually purchased. The defendant, how ever, it would seem, again changed his mind, and in January, 1844, he wrote a letter to the plaintiff', which led to the psesent action. Only very shortly before it appeared that all his epistles breathed nothing but love and affection towards the plaintiff; and then, without assigning any reason for -such a proceeding, he again took upon himself to break off the connexion, and the plaintiff was now compelled to resort to the present pro ceeding to obtain the only reparation allowed her by law. The Learned Counsel then read the various letters that were afterwards produced in evidence, and said that the latter ones were of a most in ulting and ridiculous character, the defendant writing, as he chose to ex press it, "by heads," as saving time, and being by far the quickest mode of 'correspondence. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state that the plaintiff challenged every inquiry, and defied the defendant to give any valid reason for his conduct, and, indeed, he had not ventured to give any, but had merely pleaded that he did not make the promise. That he did so, however, would be saisfactorily proved, and the other facts would, likewise, be made out, the letters of the defendant himself clearly shoaing the nature of his connection with the plaintiff; and as to the refusal to keep his engagement, he apprehended there could be very little doubt upon that point when the cor reeponderre was laid before the jury. If he made out the case, as he had no doubt he should be able to do, the next question was, what amount of damages the plaintiff was entiled to for the cruel treatment she had received. She had been led to expect to be united with the man she loved, and to have obtained a settlement for life ; but, without any ground, all her hopes had been de stroyed, her affections trifled with, and she had been deserted by the man on whom she had placed all her reliance ; and, if ever there was a case calling for exemplary damages, he submitted to the jury it was such a one as the present. Mrs. Sarah Spaull, the plaintiff's aunt, was then exa mined—She proved that she resided at Witham with her niece in 1811, and she spoke to the defendant, having called upon her, and asked permission to visit her niece as a suitor, and, on her consenting, he continued to do so, with the knowledge orhis friends, and the plaintiff and the defendant appeared to he sincerely attached to each other. They corresponded with each other, and the plaintif visited the defendant's father and his family, and was received by them as the intended wife of the defen dant. The witness deteed the course of the intimacy between the parties down to the month of January, 1843, and identified the letters produced as the hand writing of the defendant. She also said that . after the period she had mentioned, the defendant called upon her, and wished the plaintiff to accept of a sum of 2001 that his father had offered to her, in order that she might go into the country and recruit her heath. The following letters were then read. The first was written soon alter the defendant had renewed his inti macy with Miss Spaull. It was dated December 9, 1842, and its contents were.as follow : "My dear Mary Anne,—l had intended to have come down to Witham, and had the pleasure of seeing you, but as I have had something of the cold chills for a day or two, I think it will not be wise. To remedy this, we hope to have the pleasure of seeing you at Tothem (his father's residence) to tea. The governor says that you must stay the night and also to-morrew night as well, if possible. Would it be troubling you too much to bring some of your music and a certain letter that you have in your possession? Please inform the bearer what time your ladyship will be at the White Hart. I have now great p!ea titre in being your ardent and de voted lover, " STEPHEN." Another letter, dated November 30, 1843, was to the following effect : " My dearest Lore,— I received your pretty little note this morning, for which I feel extremely obliged. I was out, certainly, y. sterday. just down to the bank and back again immediately, while the sun was at full, and, on horseback; did not perceive' myself any worse. I should have called, but did not stop anywhere. With fondest affection. your devoted lover, " STEPHEN." " My very dear Mary Anne,—Having a spare mo ment cm my hands this morning, I thought I could n ot employ it with more pleasure to myself than con versing with you by my pen. Really, without yeur pre• Bence, everything appears dull and dreary to me. I long to see you, but I feel it would not be prudent at present to venture out in an evening, neither would you wish me, I know. I have lately thought more highly of you than ever, longing for the time when we shall spend many happy days together. Every day endears you to my affections, as I have your person in my mind, with your tender looks and pleasant smiles ; in fact, every object appears lovely where your presence is. I must confess I never felt what I do now before. This last visit appears to have quite won my heart over with more than ardent affection. Terms are all too insignificant to describe to you my feelings—words would fail ; but I hope, when I see you, to give you some faint idea of what my feelings are. I wish you were at Tothem. My dearest girl, you would fancy lam draw ing up en exaggerated statement, but I can assure you candidly it is rot. I know :that when I express my sen timents on this point fully you sometimes deem it flat tery, but I can vouch for these being my calm. collected. and candid idess. Would •it not be my pleasure to constantly please were it in my power, when you are connected by th a t en d ear i ng t i e which - 1 hope will not soon be dissolved, but as years advance be firmer and stronger, if possible. Now, then, my dearest love, you wilt say I have trespassed too long on your time. I must conclude, hoping to rsceive an epistle from you, promising me in it you will have no one else. I feel anxious now about your going to Loudon. Don't fall in love w ith any one else, dear.— Your more than ever attached and devoted lover, " STEPHEN. " 1,000 kisses, dear." The next letter was dated Jan. 2, 1844. It was as follows : "Dearest hove,—lst. I must apelogise fur not writing before; 2d. I thank you for your letter; 3d. I have no time; 4th. I hope you are still well; sth. I am glad you are enjoying yourself; 6:h. I cannot come to town, I am so busy.—Yours, very truly, " STEPHEN." The next letter had no date, but the post-mark was Jan. 3, 1844 :—" Mary Anne,—First, you complain of my plan of writing, which has greatly annoyed me ; second, it is strange forme to be dictated to, by one so much my junior ; third, I hope if you see any one at the wedding that suits, you won't let the opportunity slip. but em'orare it ; fourth. I need not define, but you will take the full meaning of this last particular ; five, I wooed advise you to seep with your m )thsr—you are happy you sac ; six, I know you will be mere happy than at Witham, as it must be many years before you can alter y•our situation. " Yours, very respectfully, This is not a hasty conclusion." he witness was then cross-examined by Sergeant snr.E—Witness kept a boarding-school at Witham, and the p lintitl taught English, French, and music to the pupile. Believed the intimacy first took place between the plait tiff' and defendant at a rehearsal of music at th e chap& at Witham. The plaintiff used to play the seraphi:.e at the chapel, as there was no organ. Arrangensents had been made for the wedding at the time the defendant broke off the intimacy with Miss Spaull. She did not recoll ec t h av i ng h ear d the defendant say that his ci:euinstance ts were such as to rendee it improper for him to marry. She was sure that the stim of 200/_ was mentioned by the defendant, and he did not say that his father was to give it. He said that he had no fault to find with her, but he could not marry her. He did not add the word " then." After this he defendant frequently seat to inquire after the s Eliza Atkinson, a boarder at Mrs. Spaull's, spok to the visits of the defendant to the plaintiff; a s her suitor. She remembered when the match was bro ken 03 - ', in December or January last, and after the plaineiof had received the defendant's letter, she returned bo-ne very ill, and and appeared to suffer so much that witness was frightened to Se;e,.hor, She continued very ill for-so ne time, and appeared to.auffer great distress of mina. By Mr. Sergeant S El: —The plaintiff said she had seen the defendant, and they had had some disagree ment about a letter he sent to her. Thinks she also told Mr. Baron GURNEY then summed up, and the jury retired. They were absent about a quarter of an hour. when they returned into Court, finding a verdict for the plaintiff: Damages—Four Hundred Pounds. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PARRE.) Wm. Saxby, a little urchin, nine years old, was in dicted for feloniously setting fire to a barn, the property of John Kempson, at Ramsey. Mr. Wordsworth conducted the prosecutim, and Mr. T. Chambers appeared for the prisoner. From the evidence adduced it appeared that the fire took place on the 6th of June, and it was clearly proved that the prisoner had caused the mischief. When he was apprehended by the inspector of police, he admitted that he had put a lighted lucifer mater into the rick, and set it on fire. — lt appeared that property to the amount of nearly 4,0001. was destroyed. Mr. CiuMBF:RS. for the prisoner, urged that the act was' ne of a childish mind, unaware of the consequences. and that the prisoner ought not to be convicted of felony. • Mr. Baron PARKE having snipmecl up, the jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him strongly to mercy. The Learned JUDGE said the recommendation should be attended to, and he respited the judgment. Henry Herbert, 52, was indicted for a felonious assault upon hip own datmhter, a child 14 years old. Mr. Marqh conducted the prosecution. The details of the case are quite unfit for publicatior, but they exhibited the most diseusting profligacy on the part of the prisoner, the evidence leaving very little doubt that his brutal proceedings had originally com menced while his (laughter was under ten years of age. The jury found the prisoner guilty of the misdemea- n"ur only, and he was sentenced to be kept to hard labour for two years. OXFORD CIRCUIT.--liOxford, July 16. CROWN COURT.—(Before Chief Justice TINDAL.) Richard Elliott was indicted for stealing a banker's parcel, containing 1,500 sovereigns, from the Defiance coach, on the 18th of March last. Mr. Keating appeared on the part of the Crown ; Mr. Bal lantyne and Mr. Huddleston defended the prisoner. As the circumstances of this case have excited considerable attention, we furnish the evidence somewhat more than usually in detail, as elicited from the different witnesses. Mr. Robert Hare (clerk in Coutts's bank, London, corre spondent of the Oxford Old Bank)—l made up a parcel of 1,500 sovereigns in a bag, which I tied up, in order to be transmitted to Oxford. Having weighed them, I delivered the parcel to Quint, the porter, about twelve o'clock in the day on the 18th of March last. Richard Quint, porter to Ceutts'a bank—l received on the day , in question a bag from the last witness, which I put into a wooden box and nailed down, directing it to Messrs. Robinson and Parsons, High-street, Oxford. The box I then put, into a blue bag, which I tied up and carried in a cab to the , Gloucester Coffee-house. I had often formerly taken similar parcels in the same way. 'When I reached the Gloucester Coffee-house, the Defiance, Qxford coach, had not arrived ; it, however, came up in four or five minutes, where upon I delivered the bag to Robyn, the coachman. lie put it into the off side of the front boot, as he took it from me. There was no one on the box at the time. Cross-examined—l never left the parcel at all after it was delivered to me until I gave it to Hobson. William Hobson, coachman t6the Penance, which travels the Henley road from London to Oxford—On Monday, the 18th of Alarch, I signed a receipt at Messrs. Coutts's for a parcel of 1,500 sovereigns. I left the belle Sauvage at noon, with one female passenger. I toqk up another female at the Bell and Crown. At the Regent-Ciros I took up two male passengers —one was a lad of the name of Cochrane, the other was a stranger. I arrived at the Gloucester Coffee-house at half-past twelve. There I saw Quint; from whom I received a bag, which I placed near the bottom, on the off side of the boot. There were several parcels both under and over it, the boot being very nearly full at the time. I took up two male outside passengers at the Gloucester Coffee-house. They sat at the back. One, who took his seat near me on the box, was dressed in an old-fashioned blue coat, had his hat pulled over his face, and appeared a very mean person. I next stopped at the Cannon, Knightsbridge, where I took up a male passenger, of the name of Mountjoy. As I left Knightsbridge the man on the box said something, in conse quence of which I stopped at the door of a ginshop, where a man put his head out of the door and held up his finger. That was the prisoner. He got up behind, and sat with his back to the horses. I proceeded to Salt- hill, and saw the bag at Longford, between London and Salt-hill, where I changed horses, which I also, did three times between that place and Benson. I had taken up a male passenger at Hammersmith, who stopped at „Henley. I reached Benson at a quarter to seven, where I stopped at the Clown. Mr. Shrubb, one of the ' proprietors of the coach, who had travelled inside, got out at Benson, where I got down, and gave his servant his carpet-bag out of the fore -boot. I then went into the Crown, the coach remaining there about eight or nine minutes. The prisoner then left the coach, and paid me his fare in the bar of the house. I gave him change for a sovereign, and took part of a glass of ale, which he ordered for me. I stopped next at Dorchester, to put on an extra horse, but did not leave the coach. I took up tfte marl-bags, and lighted the lamps at Nuneham ; the man Jll the box got down, and had a glass of ale there. I pioceeded to the Old Bank at Oxford, bringing with me seven passengers, and then missed the parcel for the first time. No luggage of the prisoner's was ever put into the front boot. I mentioned the loss of the parcel to 111 r. Parsons, at the Old Bank, and drove straight to the Vine, but could find no traces ot the bag. The man in the blue coat remained there a few minutes, and then walked away. Cross -examined—l have been a coachman on the Oxtlad road many years. I was a little behind time at Benson. I looked about for the prisoner for, same little time, having missed him for a short time. At .Nuneham the horsekeeper lit one lamp, and I lit the other. I had a glass of ale there, which was paid for by the man on the box. I took up the mail. bags at the archbishop's lodge at Nuneham, which is half a mile from the inn. I afterwards got down, and locked up the mail-bags in the hind boot for safety. Re-examined—The prisoner had on a loose great coat. I only pruned up for the purpose of taking the Archbishop of York's mail bags, but I did not stop there. When I got down at Nuneham I gave the reins to Cochrane. Dennison Cochrane—l sat behind the coachman, with two female and one male passengers. I got up at the Bull and Mouth, Regent Circus. I did not see the parcel put into the boot at the Gloucester Coffee-house. I stood up behind the box at Nuneham, while the coachman got down, and held the reins for two or three minutes. No one that I saw went near the boot during that time. Cross-examined—The man on the box got down on the near side at Nuneham. William Chapman, servant to Mr." Shrubb, at Ilenson— On the 18th of March, when the, coach came up, I was standing in the Crown Inn. I saw the prisoner get down otr the coach there. I saw him put one foot on the splinter bar and one on th e w h ee l, a n d op e n the fore-boot. When I came away be was stilLlooking into the fore-boot, and stand ing in the same position. Cross-examined—I noticed the prisoner get off the coach, but I had never seen him before. I was close to him at the time. I know Mountjoy, but I did not notice him there. The man on the box remained there while the prisoner was looking into the boot. "AMICUS. her that he haul dialied engaging to marry her so soon, 1 William Carr, horsekeeper at Benson—On the 18th of !

'-- 1 man e 7 . ,, • ' boot. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. Sergeant SREE then addressed the jury for the defendant ; and he commenced by observing that he was surprised, although his Learned Friend had asked for heavy damages, that he had not laid better evidence be fore them as to the circumstances of the defendant, which it was in their power to have done, and also to. have shown what real damage the plaintiff had sustained. • He hoped to be able to satisfy them that the defendant's conduct had been upright and honourable, and that the plaintiff had no good cause of complaint. There were no cases that differed more in their circumstances than actions of this description. It -frequently happened that a woman, after having lost that treasure which could alone make life valuable, was compelled to go into the witness-box, and while declaring her shame, at the same time show that she had been made a victim, and had been betrayed by a man in whose honour she had con fided. For such a case the seducer was very properly made to feel his misconduct by heavy daman.es being awarded against him. In other cases'a man, after having raised an affection in the breasrof a woman, would cast her off, and before her face marry another whom he believed to bo more wealthy, or fancied was more beautiful. When such cruelty and avarice was exhi bited it was also right that heavy damag es should be. awarded ; but the present case exhibited ' no such cir cumstances of aggravation. There was not the slightest stain upon the character of the plaintiff, and he was in structed by the defendant to say , that he could not breathe the slightest suspicion against the character of the plaintiff, but that he believed her to be a most honourable and virtuous young woman, and one who, under more favourable circumstances, he should have been proud to make his wife. There was nothing in the case to throw any slur on the character and cond tof the plaintiff, and she remained pure and unsullied. W'he Learned Counsel then proceeded to contend that there was no distinct proof that the defendant intended to break the promise he had made, and said the reason why he declined at present to marry the plaintiff was dictated more by his affection for her; than by any fickle-, ness of disposition. He then went on to say that the defendant was a young man who was entitled to a smal amount under the will of a relation, but in other re. spects lie was entirely dependent upon his family. He had invested this money in a farm, the quality of which the jury were probably acquainted with, from its locality at Tiptree • and on that farm he had lose all his money, and finding he had no means of surporting this young lady in the manner in which, from her education and situation, she had a right to ex pect, he humbly declined to marry her until his cireum stnnces were in a more favourable condition. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to remark at consider able length upon the misery consequent on marriages where the parties had not the means of properly pro viding for themselves and the family consequent upon them, and said he considered the defendant had acted the part of a prudent and honourable young man in de clining to marry the woman he loved when he felt satis fied that he could not provide a proper home for her, and that poverty and misery must be the result of their union. At the time the promise was made to the plain tiff the defendant %las in the possession of his farm, and he was buoyed up with the hope that he might realise a position of prosperity, and he then naturally looked forward to an union with the woman he loved ; but those hopes were all destroyed, and he then sacrificed his own inclinations and passion rather than run the risk of reducing the woman he loved to almost inevitable poverty. He denied that there was any proof that the defendant had absolutely refused to fulfil his promise, he only desired its post ponement until his circumstances were improved. There was not the least proof of any act of unkindness on the part of the defendant, but, on the contrary, he had al ways acted with the greatest kindness, and it was proved, that almost up to the present moment, the de fendant had always spoken in the most affectionate terms of the plaintiff, and had shown an anxiety for her welfare. He then proceeded to urge, that so far from this being a case calling for heavy damages, he felt satis fied that the jury, upon a dispassionate consideration of all the facts. would feel that the defendant was entitled to their verdict. Paddington; that he had dealt with Lloyd, on Holborn-hill, . five years, adding that he was going to Box (near Bath), when Lucas observed, "If you come with me to Oxford you will be nearer Box theri than now." The prisoner said if he insisted on his going to Oxford he would go, but not other wise. Lucas said he sliduld insist, and requested him to get up, which he did immediately. He said that he must go to Windsor the next Morning, or he should disappoint some riends. Cross-examined—My house is five miles from the Walling • ord -road Station ; the trains at that time were running to London, about eight or ten in the evening. When his money had been taken from him, he asked what had been stolen. Box is on the Great Western Railway. ' The policeman - added that the prisoner wai suspected in censequence of the company he, kept ; but witnes•s never heard or knew that he had ever been in custody. The two men whom the prisoner had - described as having been in his company when he took the Frenchmen's cheque into the bankit!g-hense, were, witness believed, cr_imps They were not in attendance. 'fbe prisoner—Those two persons were with me at the time. I don't supposa they received the letters calling upon them to attend. Mrs.Sitlney Madlocks (widow) stated that the cheque produced had been last in her possession on Monday. It was drawn by her (1 . 1. the banking-,hou se of her fr ;he John Lucas, the city 'marshal, corroborated the account given by the last witness, adding, that while the prisoner was dressing he said that he did not much like the journey to Oxford, having promised to meet two friends at Eton and Windsor the next morning. I went to London the following day. aid found the place referred to by him in Bell- street, Pad dington ; it was a cigar and tobacco shop. Mr. Guy Thomson, a banker in Oxford, of the firm of Robinson and others;in High-street, was examined. Lucas recalled-4 man of the name of Burgess pointed out to me the spot where a bag was found like the one lost, con taining a box inclosing a stone and some sand. It was about a mile on the Oxford aide of Nuneham. This closed the case for the prosecution; Whereupon Mr. BALLANTYNE proceeded to address the jury on behalf of the prisoner. After an able and lucid summing up on the part of the Learned JUDGE. the jury remained some time in deliberation, returning a verdict of ACquittal. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before • Mr. Sergeant ATCRERLEY and a - , Special Jury.) iF.scit V. MERRICK. For the plaintiff were Mr. Valentine Lee and Mr. Hodg son; for the defendant Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. Alexander.

Mr. Mullins then proved the presentment of the cheque at the counter, and the account given ,by the. prisoner of the manner in which he became possessed of it, which was—that, as he and two friends of his were passing along Lombard-street, two Frenchmen were disputing about the cheque, and he pointed out to them the banking-house where it was payable, and took it from them to get it cashed _for them, as they did not seem to understand it. The prisoner requested to be informed whether the Magistrate would take bail. . SIT PETER LAURIE replied that he could not think of taking bail in such a case. The prisonsr—l assure you that I am entirely inno cent. I admit that there is something calculated to excite suspicion ; but that is all. Sir PET E R LAURIE—I have given you every oppor tunity to clear .up the business if you could . I must _ The plaintiff, it seemed, was a young, woman of prepos sessing appearance, the sister of a Mrs. Grimes (whose husband keeps the. Red Lion Inn at Burford), with whom she lived in the capacity of bar-maid. The defendant whose mother died two or three years go, and kept the Lamb Inn in the same town, about nine years ago formed an acquaintance with her, and had been in the habit of call ing upon her daily since. Sometimes as often as three times a day, during that period. In consequence of a statement which originally issued from, and seemed to have been indus triously propagated by a Mrs. Street, a tenant of the de fendant, to the effect that Miss Bench was a young woman of immodest character, the defendant discontinued his visits at the Lion. After an interval, however, of some duration, he was induced to resume them, and agreed to marry the plaintiff within six months from the Ist of January, 1843. This, however, he had neglected to do, alleging, as an excuse that the plaintiff had been delivered of a child, as he was informed, whOn" only nineteen years of age. This she did not deny; but at the same time contended that the de fendant had been fully aware of the circumstances for some years, and now only sought to avail himself of that unfortu nate occurrence in order to evade the promise which he had before repeatedly made.. It was clearly proved, that ever since the unhappy young woman's seduction by a , Mr. Hussey, and it was not pre tended that she bad ever been guilty of even an indiscretion with any one else, her conduct had in every way been per fectly irreproachable. Mr.-Sergeant TAIXOURD having addressed the jury on behalf of his client, they remained about ten minutes in de liberation, finding a verdict for the plaintiff on the first, and for the defendant on the second issue. The defendant had pleaded, first, that he did not make the promise in the declaration alleged; secondly, that at the time of making the promise, he believed the plaintiff to be a woman of good character and morals, which he afterwards found she was not, and upon these pleas it was that issue was joined. commit you for. trial, and, whatever he the result, I hope the case will operate as a warning to people how they take cheques from foreigners. The prisoner -It will be a warning to me, I assure you. The:prisoner was then committed for trial. G: J. Russell, the captain of one, of the steam-boats which ply between London bridge and Chelsea, was summoned to answer the complaint of Mr. R. S. Upton, Who stated that on Thursday he went to the Pier-wharf, at Southwark, and purchased tickets for his wife and himself, having first been assured by the person who took the money that the boat would certainly go to Chelsea. When the vessel reached .Westminster-bridge, however, the captain said the passengers must go ashore, as he could not go. further that night. The secretary said, upon being expostulated with, that people must put up with it. The complainant added, that he had been put to a great deal of inconvenience by the violation of agreement, and he was determined, for the sake of the public, to represent the matter to the Magistrate. The. solicitor to the proprietors submitted that the lateness 'of the, hour required that the vessel should . go no further than Westminster-bridge, and that she in variably stopped a t t h a t s p o t on the last trip of the even ing. Besides, the captain was not aware that the gen tleman had mentioned that his wish was to go to Chelsea before the boat 'left Southwark-bridge. Sir PETER Lir RxE thanked the complainant for the trouble he had taken to correct such an a vil, and fined the captain in the penalty . of 10s. and costs. A young man, who stated his name. to be Henry Rage, and his profession to be that 'of a surgeon, was brought before Sir Peter Laurie, charged by Mr. Robarts; of the banking-house of Ciatis, Robarts, and Co., uuder . the following remarkable circumstances Mr. Robarts stated that on _the afternoon of Monday he . called accidentally upon Mrs. Maddox, his sister, andwas told by her that she had lost a smell bag out of her carriage, which - bag contained a cheque which she had drawn for 30/. upon the house in Lombard-street. As the cheque was post dated he did notsuppose that any mischief would arise from the finding of it hy any person. but hy way of precaution he wrote to the resident clerk the particulars, and at a little after nine o'clock on that (Tuesday) morning it was presented at the counter by-the prisoner, who gave so lame an account of the manner in which he, became possessed of it that it was c~resi.terl roper to give him into custody. Sir Pi.:-riut LA:on the gentleman will give me an intelligib a explaiiatiOn. 'PITT, Sir, where did you get this cheque? Defendant'---I. had it of two Frenchmen whom I saw in - Lombard-street. Sir PETER LAURIE—HOW did you happen to meet them ? Defendant—l did not meet them. They were standing toge ther in the street, and they had the cheque, and did not ap pear to know where the bankingAouse was, and I looked at the cheque and pointed it out to-them. Sir P. LAvnin--;--And so you took it from them to get the cash for them?, Defendant—Yes. I saw they did not un derstand the business, and I went into the banking-house. They were b r oth behind me at t the time. One of them was close to me. There were two gentlemen, friends of mine, who were with me at the time, and saw what passed. Sir P. LAURIE—Where were they when you went into the banking-house? Defendant—They were outside. Sir P. LAURIE—Of course, finding that you have got ink,- such a dilemma by your good nature, they are hear to bear testimony' to the - correctness of your st a t ement. ' Defendant--I dare say they are. Here Sir P. LAURIE directed that the names of the two gentlemen should be called. There was no answer. Defendant—Perhaps they don't know that I am in custody. Sir P. Latium—Oh, yes they do. They ought to be here. NoW, I am giving you .the fairest opportunity, by asking you these questions, to clear yourself from all impu tation. If I were in yoUr situation - and you in mine, I should feel very much.cibliged to you fur similar treatment. - Defendant—l am obliged to you, I assure you. I see that there is a necessity for investigation, and my friends will ap pear here: if you give time. Sir P. I,Aumg---It would appear that they have left you to your fate. befeudant— I have not the least doubt that they will come forward. Sir P. LAURIE---Well, I shall remand you until your friends appear to give their explanation of the affair. Of course, they will not hesitate fir come forward on such an oc casion.—The defendant was then remanded. CLERKEN WELL. John Gordon, well-dressed young man, who de scribed himself as -a journeyman jeweller, residing in Woodbridge-street, Clerkenwell, was charged with a burglary,at the - house of Mr. Vaughan, on architect, re siding at 30, Park-street, Llin gton , being from home on Tue lr saa -V y, a S u a g r h at i H a a n n d co!! ) k is , t f h a ' rn e t i e lY male servant, invited her sitter to take tea with her on the evening of that.day. The sister ,came, accompanied by the prisoner, who pro feSsed to .be , her sweetheart; they went away about ten o'clock. 'Between twelve and one o'clock on the following morning, police-constable 178 N, !Ting on duty in Park-street, heard a noise in the area of No. 30, and on hastening thither found that the entrance from the area into the kitchen had peen broken open, and saw the prisonei escaping by the railings. Witness at tempted to secure him on the spot, but the prisoner climbed over the railings, and ran away—the officer pursued him, hat finding that he was very nimble sprang his rattle police-constable 212 N attempted to stop the prisoner„who knocked him down, but the officer clung to him, and they were rolling on th e groun d to gether when 1781 came up,, and , he was secured with great difficulty. On examination, it was found that some articles which hung in the kitchen had been re moved, and that thoglass of thelritchen door had been smashed. The servant said she was sleeping at the top of the house, but-did-not hear- any noise. The prisoner alleged that ' he had made an appoint ment of an amorous nature with Sarah for Tuesday night, but admitted that he had came " a night before his time." Sarah indignantlydenied the allegation, and declared, with apparent candour, that she could not be vile enough to:seduce the affections of her sister's lover. . Inspector Thatcher said the prisoner had given a false address. , . Mr. Conan remanded him, telling him he should com mit him fur trial on the charge of burglary. John Barrett was brought up or;_remand, charged with obtaining money froth tradesmen by fraudulently re presenting himself as the agent of the Anti-Corn-law League. Ur. Ivimey, the 'solicitor for the, League, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Humphreys for the prisoner. The prisoner's • brother, a respectable-looking young man, came forward, an d state d that the prisoner was the son of Mr. Barrett, hatter and furrier, 72 and 73 Castle street.. Bristol. He did not think the prisoner was of sound mind. Some time two, he left 'Bristol, taking with him clandestinely 251. and two gold rings, the property of his father, which sum he spent in four days in Lon don. Various other circumstances had led his family to believe that he was not of sound mind. Mr. Ivimey said he should certainly press the charge against the prisoner, unless the prisoner's friends wished him to be remanded for the purpose of establishing the plea of insanity. Mr. Barrett would not, however, ask a remand on these grounds. Mr. Saul, secretary to the League, stated that he had been informed by a correspondent at Bristol that it was not the first time the prisoner had been charged before a magistrate. Mr. Comm: finally decided upon sending the prisoner for trial. The depositions of Messrs. Newman and Ingram— the main facts of which have' been mentioned in our paper of Tuesday —were formally taken down. Mr. Paul, a printer, residing in Great St. Andrew street, Seven-dials, deposed that about six months ago the prisoner called on him, and having stated ho was agent and collector to the League, said he wanted to have three thous an d car d s struc k off for the League.

' NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, July 15. CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) Richard Cooper; aged 23, was indicted for having, at Bads worth, on the 4th day of June last, felonioulsy stolen ten sheep, thyropely of Joseph Jackson. _ M. - Mr Hall . and Mr. Overen - d conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was not defended by counsel. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Jackson that on _ _ 7tit , p(Cti-, the 3d, 4 Jnof s . he had in a close at ILldgworth a 1:•ek of 50 sheep, 4S orwhich \veie hog sheep, and two (in the Monday' evening they were all sacs:, but on the Wednesday following it was found that ten sheep were missing. On discovering his loss, Mr. Jackson went over to Ackworth, the neighbouring township, and inquired of the prisoner, who wag plnder there, whether he had any sheep in the pinfold. The prisoner said he had not. Mr. Jackson then inquired if he had had any lately. He replied, Yes, that he had had borne on the Tuesday morning, belonging to a Mr. SimpsOn, a flirmer, at Ackworth. • Mr. Jackson then went away, but from some information he received he_ was induced 6'; return to the prisoner's house, and accuse him o having sold the sheep In question at Wakefield fair, the day before. To this the prisoner at first made no reply, but he afterwards admitted he had sold them at Wakefield for the sum of 14/. Mr. Jackson asked where the money was, and the prisoner replied, that he had 111. of it up stairs, and that if Mr. Jackson would - say nothing about it, he would give him the remainder in a - day or i'wo. Mr. Jackson got the 111., and told the prisoner he could say nothing about future arrangements without seeing the constable. They went in consequence to the constable's house, where Mr. Jackson left the prisoner in custody.. The defence made by the prisoner was, that Mr. Jackson had told him to take half a score of sheep to the fair, and to seleet'them as he . thought best from the flock in the fields. He said he had in consequence taken them to Wakefield and sold them for 14/., butt that having got drunk and lost part of the money he was afraid to go to Mr. Jackson with the remainder. Mr. Jackson, he said, called on him for the money, and threatened to charge him with sheepstealing only when he found that it was not all forthcoming. Evidence, however, was adduced to show that Mr. Jack son had in the prisoner ' s hearing stated on the Monday that he was not going to,setld any sheep to the fair, and that the sheep which the Prisoner was seen on the Tuesday morning driving along the road towards Wakefield, were then covered with red ruddle on' the rump, so as to conceal as much ay pos sible the mark "J.," which was the only one upon them when in Mr..lackson's close. The prisoner had formerly been in Mr. Jackson's employ ment, but had left it about four months before this occur rence. The prisoner was found Guilty. A previous conviction for sheepstealing having also been proved against him, his Lordship pasaed sentence, stating that the prisoner's . previous history sufficiently showed that he was utterly incorrigible, and that it was necessary to pass such a sentence as would be a warning to others. To be transported for life. James Bradbury, aged 52, was indicted for setting fire to a certain heath, at Aldmondbury, in the West Riding, the pro perty of George Hinchcliffe. Mr. Wilkins and Mr. Pashley conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Bliss. It appeared from the evidence for the prosecution, that on the night of Saturday, the 26th of May, two persons were on the watch in the neighbourhood of a moor, called Good bent Moor, which had, during the spring, been several times on fire. In the course of these several conflagrations great quantities of the game had been destroyed. About twelve o'clock on the night in question, they saw part of the moor, at some distance, burst into a blaze, and they ran off in that direction. They had approached within about one hundred yards of the place where, the motor was then burning, when they saw a spark moving about much nearer them, and they had come within a very few yards of it when it suddenly burst into a blaze, and by the light they saw a man, whom they recognised as the prisonerat the bar, rising from a stoop ing position over the burning heath. He was dressed in dark clothes, with a hail.) , cap. A scuffle ensued, but the prisoner succeeded in making his escape. Besides this testimony, evidence was adduced of the prisoner having repeatedly us ed the most violent.threats respecting the owners of the moor and the gentlemen who preserved game in the neighbour hood, in which he intimated that Good-bent Moor would be the scene of a maulice," as it is called in the hill dialect, meaning a mischance, before long. For the defence, it was sought to establish an alibi, which having failed, the prisoner was convicted. Sentence was deferred. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Winchester, Ju ly 15. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) ►William Cripps, a boy aged 12 years, was indicted for set ting fire to the dwelling-house of Thomas Ilerton, in the pa rish of Itchingswell. • Mr. Ball prosecuted. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Saunders. It was proved that on the 18th of June the barn of Mr. Thomas Horton was on fire, which was consumed, together with his dwelling-house. 'The prisoner had been seen near the place a short timebefore the fire was discovered, and was apprehended on suspicion. He directly confessed that it was he, and told how he had done it, viz., by putting some fire among the straw in the barn. He further said Sally Mul lings.(wbo, it appeared, was a girl of eleven years of age), told him to do it, and had said, if he would not set it on fire she would. Mr. § MINDE 118 contended that it was quite clear that the boy did did not kwow what he was about. Mr: Justice WIGIITHAN left it to the jury to say whether he was doli capax.- The jury returned their verdict that he was not, which was therefore a verdict Of Nut Guilty. . .

This circuit commenced by the opening of the commission at Northampton yesterday afternoon, before Mr. Justice Coltman ; the real business of the circuit beginning this day, the aboVe Learned Judge presiding at Nisi Prius, and Lord Denman taking his seat in the Criminal Court. There are twelve causes in the list; three being marked as special juries. The calendar contains'the names of twenty-eight prisoners for trial, but we believe there are two or three others who have been brought to the county gaol since the calendar was printed. The principal offences charged are, two cases of manslaughter, two rapes, and one case of arson. NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Bedford, July The commission for this county was opened on Saturday afternoon ; and their Lordships having attended Divine ser vice yesterday, the two Ponds were opened this morning at half-past ten, for the dispatch of criminal business, there being no cause list on the Civil Side, and the calendar only containinc , the names of nine prisoners, whose elfe9Ce4 wore, fcrtheztart part, of a very trivial character. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY is, 1844 !Witness struck off ' two proofs of the cards, w hi c h th e I prisoner took away with him, saying he would call for the 3,000 cards in half an hour. He never afterwards saw him until that day in Court. The prisoner, who took notes and cross-examined each witness, made a short speech at the close of the case, which certainly was very far from supporting the alle gation of his insanity.—He was committed for trial. Samuel Snow, - a pensioner from the Rifle Brigade, was charged with the following misconduct : The prisoner received his pension on Tuesday, and, like most other pensioners, was determined to get drunk upon the strength of it. Police-constable, No.. 34, met him in the New-road last night, with an immense crowd about him, and a naked cutlass , in his hand, with which he threatened to " run through" every man, woman, and child present. How• ever, his extreme inebriety rendered his threats harmless; for the mob were all laughing at him when he attempted to carry his threats into execution, and he was in much greater danger of hurting himself than others for he gene ra lly fell and rolled into the kennel. The policeman, however, se curad the cutlass, and took the prisoner into custody. The unfortunate fellow said, that having taken a-glass ton much, he got into the company of soma loose characters, 1)2: whom he was robbed of every shilling of 'his pension. He was discharged. RL BOR 0 UGH- STR FE . • • Inspector Pearce, of the A division, who ha'S been employed in several cases of . fraudulent bill discounting, yesterday suc ceeded in apprehending John Aires, a person who stands charred with having stolen two 1,000/. promissory notes from Lord Charles Fitzroy, with which he had been entrusted by his Lordship to get discounted. The prisoner is known to the police as an acquaintance of the well-known John Minter Hart, and an asAodiat of Cooke, Prescott, and others, engaged in the same pursuits. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Watkins accompanied Lord Charles Fitzroy into Court as his Lordship's professional advisers. Mr. Clarkson addressed the Bench, and stated the • prin cipal circumstances detailed afterwards in evidence. Lord Charles Fitzroy examined—l reside at this moment at Medhurst, in Sussex, when in town I live at Burlington House. I was not acquainted with Alves until I received the letter of the 19th January. I wrote an answer anti addressed it to No. 24, Piccadilly. I saw Alves on the Ist Febrnary. I went to his office, which was on the first floor, and I saw some pictures in the room. to which he called my attention. The proposition made to me was to procure 2,0064 at 25 per cent. I demurred and left the room, but called again next day. I agreed to take the money on Alves's terms. Alves a4ed me if it would be more convenient to have two bills for 1,000/. each, than one of 2,000/. drawn on ma ? AlVes gave me two bills ready prepared. I put my name to them, hut I cannot recollect whether I wrote the body of the bills. Alves gave me a letter of acknowledgment. I would not have parted with the bills without this letter. In the faith that I was to receive the money,• less the discount. I con sented to part with the securities. Alves put the letter into my hands, and I saw him previously write it. I have no doubt the first letter I received was written by Alves. It was arranged that I was to call in Piccadilly on the Friday following for the money. I went and wa it e d an h our, b ut Alves was not within. I Left word I had gone to the United Service Club, and went away. I went out of town, and the next morning I received a letter containing 200/. I wrote an answer, requesting Alves to meet me the following Wed-. nestlay._ . • Mr - . Clarkson here asked the Magistrate if it was necessary to give the accused notice at once to produce the answer?— The prisoner said it was not necessary, as he was willing to produce the letters. Lord C. Fitzroy continued—On Wednesday I went to Pic cadilly. Received a letter in the handwriting of Alves. It was to the effect, that the writer was extremely sorry he could not see me at the appointed hour, but if I would make another appointment he would attend to it, and would pay the balance of the notes into my banker's hands if I wished. I made no subsequent appointment, but I called at the house frequently, and always received the same answer, that Mr. Alves was out. I went to my solicitor, Mr. Watkins, in Sackville-street, and left the 2001. with him to pay to Alves. Under the advice of my solicitor, I copied the following note to Mr. Alves, to be sent to him : " Sir—l have called several times, for the purpose of re turning the 2001. which you sent me. I decline the money, and have deposited it with my solicitor, in whose hands it now is; and I must further request you to give up the two 1,0001 promissory notes, which you obtained from me under, false pretences.—your obedient servant, I have never hea r d any thi ng i n rep l y to this IeFITZROY tter. The bills were . for three months, and, until they became due, I heard nothing more of either them or Alves. Before the bills became due I' came to this Court for advice. I have received nothing on the bills except the 200/., and no money has been paid into my banker's hands. In consequence of suggestions from my professional adviser; I have filed a bill against Mr. Parry, who holds one of the bills, and another against a per son named Cooke. Mr. MALTBY asked the accused if he wished_. to put any questions to Lord C. Fitzroy? Prisoner•---I only wish to say that at the first appointment I got to Piccadilly before one o'clock, and finding his Lordship gone I went to the club, and afterwards to the railway, but it was too late. With this exception` the statement of Lord Charles Fitzroy is correct. Mr. Clarkson—There was plenty of time between the 16th of February and now to have seen Lord C. Fitzroy. Mr. Watkins, solicitor, proved that the letter was sent to 24, Piccadilly, and that his Lordship left the 200/. with him. He had called several times, but had never been able to see Alves. Mr. Clarkson said he was bound in fairness to state that he held in his hand the answer of Mr. Parry to the bill filed by Lord C. Fitzroy. Mr. Parry states that, on the 16th of February, he gave to Alves 6001. in two cheques, 3001. worth of pictures, and took 100/. discount for one of the promissory notes. He did not mean to make this evidence at present. Under the circumstances he had stated, there was sufficient to remand the prisoner for further inquiry. Mr. 31.11,TEY asked the prisoner if lie had anything to say to the charge?—The prisoner wanted to know what the charge was. Mr. MAurut" said be was charged with stealing two bills, :he property of Lord C. Fitzroy. The prisoner asked law he 'could h 3 charged with s t ea li ng - s.vo bills, when - 1; - a-.1 C. Fitzroy admitted he gave them to !iim? Mr. MALTIII - Fairl there was enough to justify him - in re- roanding the prisoner until Monday next, but. he would have:no objection .to receive good. bail, twa sureties in .230/. each, and the prisoner in 5001.—The prisoner was then removed. UMON:HALL. Robert Smith and G eorge L axton, two well-dressed men, were charged before Mr. Cottingham under the following cir cumstancts It appear?:l that on the preceding day the defendants went into the Hero, of Waterloo, Waterloo-road, and began to take very indecent liberties with a young girl who happened to be there at the time. Some persons present resented the conduct of the defendants by throwing some beer over them, upon which they armed themselves with. pewter pots, and struck at the people in the room, one of whom, named Isles, received a severe cut over the eye. In the confusion arising from the affray, the poor girl, who was insulted in the first instance by the defendants, in her attempt to get away fell over a stool and broke her leg, and was obliged to be taken to the hospital. The defendants were fined 31. each, and, in default, com mitted. James Carroll was charged with the murder of Elizabeth Hobbs, in the month of February last, in the Mint, South waik. It appeared that the prisoner rented a small tenement in the Mint, and that having had a quarrel with , • Elizabeth Hobbs, his lodger, he was seen to strike her on the head with a poker, from the effects o f w hi c h s h e di ed, and an i nquest having been held, a verdict of wilful murder was returned. The prisoner, however, absconded, and went to Ireland, where he has remained until within the last few days, when he ventured into the neighbourhood of Tooley-street, and was taken into custody the preceding afternoon. When brought before the Magistrate; the prisoner did not attempt to deny the accuracy of his identity, and he was remanded to give an oppOrtunity for the production of the certificate of indictment from the clerk of the peace. THUNDER -STORM IN MAN CHESTER. On Monday .mornmg, about ten minutes or a quarter past nine °Week; -this• town, with its immediate neigh bourhood, especially Ardwick, was visited by a rather severe thunderstorm. .Black and dense clouds, driving from the north and west, rapidly- obscured the atmos phere ; the rain fell in a heavy shower ; and, about half past nine there was an exceedingly vivid flash of light ning, followed at an interval of scarcely a second by a very loud clap of thunder. This WAS as experienced in the centre of the town ; but, as we have intimated, the locality of Ardwick appeared to be within the more immediate influence of the storm. In ths Polygon Avenue, the electric fluid struck one of a row of poplar trees, near a wooden fence, • and stripped the bark off it for a considerable breadth, separating it into loose fibres. • The lightning also struck the paling, and threw a portion of it down. A gentle man who saw the place almost immediately afterwards, describes•it as being caused by the flash, almost instantly followed by the loud clap of 'thunder. already noticed. But the most remarkable effects of the electric fluid re main to be noticed. About the time when the loudest clap of thunder was heard in 'Manchester, the electric fluid entered a cottage occupied by Mrs. Ferguson, in York-street, Chancery lane, Ardwick, near Pin Mill Brow, and struck a boy named James Edward Jackson, about ten years of age, who, with his sister, a young woman named Ann Jackson; had gone into a house a short time previously. It appears that the boy was not fully dressed, and had a shawl wrapp, d round his waist, the shitivl . reachin7 neerly to his feet. and a littLt above the lower part - of his jact:ot. Ire was without sboesand stock ings, but was st an di ng i n pattens, and was also .without hat' occurrence, c a p. and rr wh i c h haccounte w etheautu conceive es must able be to give tike n o f w t i h t b e considerable allowances, is as follows:—" I was standing near the fire-place, and a round ball, red like fire. came down the chimney, and ran round my head, and then to my feet; and, after it ran round my head, it burst out into a flame near the chimney-piece. After it left me, it went out at the front door into York-street." The boy also states, that when -he felt the " ball of fire!' run round his head, he drew the shawl up so as to cover it. His hair, especially . at the back part of his head, is singed, as well as the upper part of the shawl, which Was folded in the ordinary manner. Indeed, the shawl is Much scorched amddiscoloured at that part. His feet and ankles are scoreheckend the outside of his right leg blistered; but he received no other injury. He further states that a teapot, which was standing on the grate, fell after he felt the sensation of something running round his head, as above described ; and that, after he saw the flame, he heard a loud report. His sister, who was in the house at the time, corroborates the boy's statement as to seeing flame going out at the front door; and Mrs. Thornley, who keeps a shop in the same street, states that she heard a scream at the time in question, and looked out, when she saw flame in the street, and thought " the whole street was on fire." Mrs. Fergu son's house is described to have been full of smoke after the occurrence ; but it does not appear that anything was damaged connected with the house, . except the chimney-pot, which was broken. All the neighbours concur in describing the report .which accompanied the flash as one of the loudest and most awful claps of thun der they ever heard.—Manchester Guardian.
