SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. STAG HUNTS. The town and neighbourhood of Aylesbury have been very much enlivened this week by his Majesty's and the West Drayton Stag Hounds. These hounds took up their quarters at Aylesbury on Monday, for the purpose of having a week's hunting in the lower part of Buckingham shire, and the sporting gentry in that part of the county have been highly gratified by some most excellent sport, and almost unprecedented in the annals of hunting. The commencement was on Tuesday, with the King's hounds ; they met at Lillies, where all the sporting gentlemen from the Duke of Beaufort's, Mr. Drake's, and other hounds in the neighbourhood met them, and the deer having been uncarted, the hounds were laid on, and went away most gallantly across a very heavy grass country, and fences very strong, for one hour, taking the deer at Twyford, between Bicester and Buckingham, being full twenty miles, a distance unprecedented in that space of time ; only the huntsman and one other sportsman were in at the taking ; about a dozen horsemen went gallantly for the first five and twenty minutes, but the pace was too fast to keep it up to the end of the run..—On Wednesday the West Drayton Hounds were honoured by a good field of sportsmen ; they turned out at North Marston, and took at Quainton, after a fuse run of two hours and a half.—On Thursday Mr. Drake's celebrated Fox Hounds met near Wootton ; three foxes were found, and one was run for twenty minutes, but was finally lost —Yesterday (Friday) the King's Hounds turned out at Eithorpe (Lord Chester field's) and had a most brilliant run of fifty minutes over a fine sporting country, and took the deer at Rousarn. The pace, although great, was not so fast as the memorable run on Tuesday.—Saturday the West Drayton Hounds met at Weedou, and from the character of the deer selected a good day's sport was expected. The King's Hounds re turned to their kennel at Ascot on Saturday.—Express. ESSEX UNION FOX HOUNDS. On Friday last these hounds were, by the invitation of Mr. Thomas Durrant, kennelled at the White Hart Inn, in this town, where the worthy host on Saturday morning invited the Gentlemen of the Hunt and their friends to a public breakfast upon a most liberal scale. After regaling them selves in good old English style the sportsmen mounted their nags, and accompanied by the hounds proceeded through the town to the Race Course, the appointed place of meeting., where a numerous field awaited their arrival. They then trotted away to Moulsham Thrift, where a leash of foxes were immediately found, one of which the hounds chopped in the cover ; a second fox then broke away at the bottom of the wood, and went on to Stock, to Mr. T. Bridge's cover, with which Reyna.rd seemed per fectly well acquainted; here he went to earth, and was dug out with the intention of being given to the hounts, but proving a vixen she was saved, and placed in the hands of Mr. T. Bridge, jun. Another fox was found, and after nearly an hour's lunning, the hounds were called off, after an agreeable day's sport.—.( Chelmsford Chrunick.) ESSEX STAG HOUNDS. On Wednesday the Essex stag-hounds had a most splen did run. The stag was turned out on Margaret Roothing green, before a numerous field of sportsmen, amongst whom were some of the first-rate riders of the day. The gallant fellow went away for Bernish Hall Wood, and from thence to Skreens, crossed the park, and on to Moor Hall Wood. Here the hounds began to mend their speed, and went at a slapping pace, crossed the Ongar.road near Cook's Mill•green, over Edney Common, and through Writtle Park to Mill-green. The stag here turned to the left, and came down to the bad; of Ingatestonc, crossed the London-road by the malting in a lice for the Hall. Here he bore to the right, and passed Arnold's Cover, on to Billericay, where he was headed, and came back nearly to Stock. He then turned and went up to Nossey Wood, which he left on his right, and went to Wickford, pass e d Mr. Brewitt's, on to the estate of J. Kemble, Esq., and was eventually ran into in the middle of a large field at the hack of Mr. Cleene's, Rottendon Hall, where he was safely !mused, to the great satisfaction of the few sportsmen the❑ present. This is the same noble animal that afforded so brilliant a day to the Nimrods of Ilerts and Cambridge shire when lately turned down at Chesterford. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MA MUNICH. The New Bavarian State Gazette publishes various remarks on the above rescript. " The German Tribune," it says, " published in the circle of the Rhine, proclaimed on the 3rd of February, the foundation of a Political Association for theexplicitly avowed purpose of overturning the existing o'der of things in Germany, of conquering with German treasure, and Ger man blood, the independence of Poland, and of dissolving all the several German States to form one German empire. The Association was to have a directing Committee of three Members, and the contributions of the Members of the Society were to be employed in maintaining the Edi tors, and paying the expenses of the Journals of the Asso ciation, and in diffusing revolutionary newspapers. On the 23rd of February the Volksblatt (Journal of the peo ple), published at Wartzhurg proposed a still more exten sive p 1 in." The article then proceeds to shew that such poliical associations cannot be tolerated even in states which recognise the principle of the sovereignty of the people, and in England itself it has been thought necessary in th ese ti mes o f exc it emen t t o imppress political unions. The Bavarian Government could not have tolerated such societies even had the Constitution been silent; hut as the Constitution is positive and ex plicit on the subject, the Government is bound to oppose all associations formed without legal sanction, and without the formal per:piss& of the King and the estates. In the exercise of this duty the Bavarian Government has used great moderation ; it does not extend the name of association and the meeting of a larger or smaller number of persons in public places where they have no direct Com mittee: it has never refused its sanction to the numerous existing societies without absolute necessity ; it has not in terfered with the associations for relieving the Polish emi grants, and collections made by individuals for certain ob jects, e. g. for presenting silver cups to members of the op position, &c. but it could not allow collective associations to assume the form of political bodies, and to form an im perium in imperio in direct opposition to the laws of the kingdom, and derogatory of the rights which the Con stitution of the Bavarian monarchy declares to be an ex press and eminent privilege of the assembly of the States. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. John Woodham, familiarly known about Billingsgate market by the name of " Cat's-meat," was charged with having " prigged" a quantity of perriwinkles, the pro perty of Mr. Be own. One of the witnesses swore he saw " Cat's-meat" and a companion about seven o'clock coming out of a wherry, near a boat which contained a . quantity of perriwinkles. Knowing that the character of " Cat's-meat" had been more than once subjected to a " delicate investigation," he ran round the Custom-house, and " cotched him with a bag of vinkles v itch to'ther covey bolted avay vith." Wit ness accused " Cat's-meat" of the offence ; but " Cat's meat" being " wide awake," defied him to prove the charge by producing the "vinkles ;" consequently witness was obliged to release him. He, however, kept a sharp look-out, and followed " Cat's-meat" to the New Castle public-house, where witness found a bag of perriwinkles. which had just been left in the tap-room, " Cat's-meat" was accordingly taken into custody. Well, said Mr. Alderman Wilson to the prisoner, what have you to say to this charge. Ax that ere witness said " Cat's-meat," (who, from practice, had evVently acquired no small portion of legal adroitness) az him, my Lord, if he can swear to the dentity of them ere vinkles. The witness, thus interrogated,admitted that he could not. Look at that ere, said " Cat's-meat," vy, hes hevidence arnt o' no use votsomnever. Vy, I yarns my livelyhood by picking up vineles as falls into the boats, and I'm ready to take my froth as I'd been picking on 'em up all day afore. Vot's the use, I'll only ax your Lordship of a man's halms corpus—if his earrater's to be taken away for nothink as nobody knows on. If you conwicts me of this ere crime, vy yu'll do vot's werry wrong. Mr. Goldhasn, the inspector, hinted o the Alderman, that " Caessmeat" was an old hand in the prigging line. The Magistrate thereupon, admonished " Cit's-meat" to leave off his practices, and, as a link in the chain of evi dence was wanting, ordered him to be discharged. 19, 1832. he was induced to hawk the publications produced, not deeming that he was acting contrary to law. The prisoner was committed to prison for six weeks, being only half the period mentioned in the act. Mr. DYER ordered that the prisoner might have all the publications found in his possession, excepting those com plained of; the magistrate observing, at the sam e ti me , that there were many, which, strictly speaking, came under the law, but they were quite innocent publications, and did no harm to any body. Sarah Binning and Sophia IVest, both young wo men, were charged with obtaining a number of articles of jewellery from Mr. C. Daniel, jeweller, rcsid ng in Oxford street. G UILDHALL. Among the complainants against parish-officers was a respectable-looking man, named Willett, who said his fa mily had b •en householders in the parish of St. Augustine, Watling-street, 126 years. lie had himself been a large rate-payer for many years, but he was now reduced by misfortune, and he complained that the allowance made him of I Os. per week was insufficient for the mairveuance of Lis family, consisting of a wife and six chilnren, all girls, under 15 years of age. When he was himself church warden, he had paid 15s. per week in such cases. The Illagistrat , s earnestly requested the Overseers to do the best for the unfortunate applicant. BOW-STREET. Last night, Mr. Watson, the wig -maker, of Lincoln's Inn, attended on a warrant issued by R. G. Minshull, Esq., and executed by Ledbitter, one of the principal offi cers, charging Mr. Watson, on the oath of his wife, with having assaulted her, and forcibly turned her into the street, her person hill denuded at the time. Mrs. Watson said that, on Thursday night, her husband came home apparently inebriated, and words arose, when he strucK her with a candlestick on the face. She was partly undressed at the time, and he forced her into the street, and threw her bonnet and apparel after her, and closed the door. She had not been home since, nor did she intend to return, being afraid he would do her some personal violence. The servant girl was called, who carried an infant of the parties in her arms. She confirmed her mistress's state ment. On questions being put to her by the Magistrate, she said she never saw her master strike her mistress be fore : it was her mistress who first took up the candle stick ; her mistress might be jealous at times. Mr. Watson.—lt is all through the yellow monster jealousy. Mrs. W.—You have boasted of your intimacy with other women. Mr. W.—l never struck her with a candlestick, nor ever laid a finger on her in my life; she has thrown knives and finks at me, and I wonder my eyes are safe in toy bead ; the knives, forks, spoons, and jugs have been thrown at my head, and dashed through the windows into the street, as the neighbours can testify. Mrs. Watson.—lt is not true ; and if I did, you abused roe, and spoke of your acquaintance with a female. Mr. Watson—Yes, I remember ; and if I had not put the infant before my face you would have scratched my eyes out. Mrs. Watson—And serve you right for your brutality. Mr. MINSHULL—You have cut your wife's nose, I observe. Mr. Watson—Lord, no Sir ; when she struck at me I turned aside the candlestick with my arm, and it touched her face, for which I am sorry, bless the dear.—(Here Mr. Watson began to play with the infant, and, turning to his wife, said, " Oh, my dear, I have put the twins to bed."—(Laughter.) Mr. MiNuitum.—You work for the Whigs? Mr. Watson—l work for Whigs and Tories too. I endeavour to please all parties. Here is my card ; lam a respectable tradesman; and my wife is violent tempered and jealous. Mrs. Watson replied that she had just cause to be jealous; and so violent was his treatment that she went in fear of her life. Mr. Mussitur.r. ordered Mr. Watson to find bail, when he exclaimed " Now, nay dear, you see what you have done; I have long expected it would come to a Justice business ; here, gaoler, lock me lip." Mr. Mucsuum.—You had better send for bail. Mr. Wattion—l will leave two guineas in your hands till Monday morning, and then produce bail. Mr. MINSHULL-4 can't receive money ; but you may sit in the office till your bail comes. 31r. Watson thanked the Magistrate, and despatched a friend to procure bail. MARLBORO UGH STREET. A man named Richards was brought to the office by Farrant and Hobbs, two policemen of the C division, and charged with exposing a penny publication, entitled A Slop at the Church, which being unstamped, the police men con ended was an offence under the 60th Geo. 111., chap. 9, and adduced in support of the charge the Solici tor of Stamps' opinion upon the subject in a similar case it Union-hall, on Friday. The prisoner had Once been a hous?holder in St. Ann's, Soho ; but having become reduced, and no work to do, HATTON-GARDEN. Ann Harvey was charged with robbing her mistress, Mrs. Abraham's, 10, Liverpool-street, New-road. On the 2.1 of February, the prisoner decamped, taking with her a quantity of jewellery, consisting of brooches, ear-rings, finger-rings, &c. She was apprehended whilst offering some of the property for sale.—Fully committed. Q UEEN-SQUARE. James Braby, proprietor of cabriolA No. 952, was summoned for furiously driving. On Saturday last the driver of the cab was flogging and galloping his horse at a tremendous sped in Cockspur- street, Charing-cross. when Mrs. Anson, of 25, Draper-place, Burton-crescent, was ciApsiN the Vad,, made every attempt to get out of tßeway, but she was knocked down, and the wheel went over her. She sustained several injuries, and was now unable to leave her home. The driver went on as if no thing bad occarred. Mr. Braby said the driver absconded the same day from his service, and hoped the case might be remanded, to enable him to find him out and get him pu nished. His request was acceeded to. LAMBETH-STREET. Mr. Calton, landlord of the Black Horse, Goodman's. fields, attended to ask the advice of the Magistrate. From his statement it appeared that a Dutch Jew, an itinerant, dealer in jewellery, named Levi, had so ingratiated himself into his family's good opin;on, that they looked upon him as an " honest Jew," and made no scruple of lending him various sums of money, at different times, to" puy a par gain," which loans he punctually paid. A few days since he brought a lam deal box into Mr. Calton's house for safety, which he a iid came from his brother, a very rich man, and contained 100/. worth of shawls. The same evening he borrowed 20 sovereigns of his host, to get another " pargain," but he never again made his appear ance. The box had been broken open, but it would ap pear that the valuable shawls had been transmogrified into old shoes and rags. Mr. Calton stated, however, that he believed he had a more valuable security, and pro- duced a packet of papers, with about a dozen seals upon it, which the Jew had given him as deeds of great value and his application was to know if he might break the seals. The Magistrate consented, and they were found to be written in Dutch, and apparently useless. Mr. Calton said, he may saw the true state of the case, and put it down as the second edition of " the gentleman with the carpet bag." The documents were afterwards taken to the Dutch Consul, who said they were useless. Some of them showed how he had acted in Holland, where he bad defrauded a charity out of a large sum of money. DERBY ASSIZES, 3fARCH 16. NISI YAWS COURT. (Before Mr. Baron BATLEY and a Common Jury.) JONES V. BREARY. This was an action against the defendant, the clerk of the Derby race-course, in his character of stakeholder, for money had and received to the plaintiff's use. Mr. BALouy and Mr. PENNINGTON conducted the case for the plaintiff; Mr. CLARKE and Mr. N. CLARKE ap peared for the defendant. The facts were these :—At the last Derby races, which took place in the month of August, Mr. (now Lord) Ca vendish and Mr. Thornhill acted as stewards. When" the Dunnington-park and Fatback stokes" were run for, Mr. Thornhill told the jockeys, eight or ten in inber, as they were about to start, that they must he t er y within ten minutes after theyw e r e w e i g h e d t o s t art f or t te second heat. The first heat was watt by a three-year-old horse of Mr. Beardsworth's, named " Champion." Few, if any, of the horses were ready at the appointed time for starting for the second heat. At nineteen minutes after the first heat, Mr. Thornhill gave the word " Off," there being then only five horses at the starting-post. Of these the plain tiff's horse " Tommy Tickle," which was aged, came in first. Although the stewards are masters of the rice, it is usual for the clerk of the course to start the horses, and it is also customary to allow an interval of half an hour between the heats, particularly for young horses, which take a longer time to recover their wind than aged ones. This heat, therefore, having been objected to as not been fair, the defendant refused to weigh the rider of Tommy Tickle, and ultimately the stewards decided that it was no race, and therefore must be run again. The horses accordingly started a third time, when Champion came in first, and a mare name " Goz-lle" came second, Tommy Tickle coining in third. Under these circum stances, it was contended that Tommy Tickle had won the race, because the second start, it was contended, was fair; and neither Gazelle nor Champion having run that heat, they must be taken to be distanced, and therefore dis qualified from running the third heat, thus leaving Tommy Tickle the winner of the third as well as of the second heat. It was, however, admitted by plaintiff's witnesses that the usual and reasonable interval allowed between heats at all the races throughout the kingdom was half an hour, and also that it was customary for the clerk of the courses and not the steward, to :start the horses ; besides which, it was stated that the stewards were the proper persons to judge of the fairness of a start, and in this case they had decided that the start was not fair, and that therefore the second heat should be run over again. Upon these facts, Mr. Baron BAYLEY was clearly of opinion that the plaintiff must be nonsuited. If the stewards deviated from the usual course, they were bound to give notice of such deviation to the owners of the horses; and they were, moreover, bound to allow a reasonable time for young horses as well as old to recover their wind. On the pre sent occasion they had not done so, and they bad subse quently decided that they were wrong, and that the heat must therefore be tun over again. In any point of view, there was no pretence for saying that the plaintiff was en titled to the stakes. His Lordship would therefore beg leave to suggest, that the next person called should be Mr. Michael Jones.—(A laugh.) The plaintiff, Mr. Jones, was accordingly nonsuited. CROWN COURT. Robert lVliysall, aged 40, was indicted for uttering, knowing it to be forged, a bill of exchange for 371., pur porting to be drawn by Anthony Stanley, and payable at Messrs Spooner, Attwoods, and Co , bankers, London, with intent to defraud Joseph Smith, and John Jackson. Mr. WADDINGTON and Mr, FLOOD appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Serjeant GOULBOURN and Mr. HUD.. YARD for the defence. It appeared that the prisoner paid away the bill in ques tion to Messrs. Smith and Jackson, for malt purchased of them, and that it had been drawn without any authority from Stanley, whose name was sworn by two witnesses to be, according to the best of their belief, in the hand-writ ing of the prisoner himself. It was admitted by Stanley that he had on a former occasion paid a bill drawn in his name by the prisoner to avoid prosecuting him because he was his relation ; and that although there had been a quarrel between them respecting some claim of property, set up by the prisoner, he would have paid the present bill for the same reason if he had had the money. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and The Learned JUDGE ordered sentence of death to be re corded, but told the prisoner he might expect the sentence to be commuted to transportation for life.

Mr. CLARKE, K.C., Mr. N. CLARKE, and Mr. WAD. DINGToN, appeared as counsel for the prosecution; Mr. HILL defended Bamford, Needham, Hanson, Wardle, and Mosedale; Mr. HILDYARD defended Kirk; Mr. WHITE-. HURST defended Hudson, Roome, and Walters; and Mr. HAREwoon defended Roberts. The female prisoner bad no counsel. The facts of the case s which were undisputed, were (PRICE 7D these :—Upon the news of the loss of the Reform Bill reaching Derby, on Saturday evening, the Bth of October hat by Express from The Sun Newspaper, considerable excitement prevailed, and some rioting took place. A mob proceeded to the town gaol, amongst other places, and broke some of the windows there. The next morning, at an early hour, they again visited the gaol, and broke some more windows ; they thence proceeded to other places, where they also broke windows. Two of the rioters having been apprehended, were taken to the gaol, and there locked up. At about ten o'clock a mob, of lina *tut 1,000 to 1,500 persons, proceeded to the gaol,litd,Snocking at the gaoler's door, demanded that these two persons should be set at liberty. At first the gaoler made no reply to this demand, but finding the mob determined on breaking open the door and windows, and deeming further resistance vain, he opened the door, turned out the two prisoners de manded of him, and then closed and locked the door again. Tne mob received the prisoners with shouts of acclamation, and bore them off in triumph on their shoulders. They only proceeded a short distance from the gaol, when they returned again, and tearing up an iron lamp-past that stood near the building, they battered the door with it until they burst it open ; forty or fifty of them then rushed in, and set about twenty prisoners at large, who i►t►mediately divested themselves of their prison dress and mingled with the crowd. There had been altogether about twenty-four prisoners in the felon's yard when the attack on the gaol commenced, and the gaoler immediately sent the turnkey to transfer them to the debtor's yard for safety. The mob, however, pene trated to this part of the prison, and, as before stated, set all they could find, about twenty in number, at liberty. Amongst these was William Keeling, who had been con victed at the borough sessions of feloniously embezzling 5.., the property of his master, and sentenced to four months' imprisonment and hard labour. So far the facts were undisputed, the question then being whether or not all or any of the prisoners were present on that occasion, taking a part, or aiding and abetting others in the commis sion of this outrage. Upon this question, as regarded the case of each prisoner respectively, the investigation ex tended to very great length. John Roberts, the gaoler, having stated the facts above mentioned, spoke to the persons of Hudson, Bamford, Roberts, and Wardle, as having been at the gaol on the occasion in question. Hudson, he said, was one of those who held the lamp-post when the door was opened, and the lamp-post thrust in to prevent its being closed again. The mob repeatedly inquired if all the prisoners were released, and Hudson, taking the witness under the arm, told him to come and see if they were al gone. To which the witness replied, be might go himself and see. After prisoners had gone out, and when the mob were going away, Hudson said to Mrs. Roberts (the gaoler's wife) he hoped they were not going to his master's (Mr. Saunders), who lived near the gaol, on the opposite side of the way. Bamford he saw kneeling on the wall outside, holding the iron bars, and looking in at the prisoners in the gaol. He saw Roberts in the pas sage leading from the outer door to the prison-yard, the perspiration rolling down his face, apparently much ex cited, and heard him call out to the mob that all the pri soners had not gone out. He also saw Wardle in the pas sage at the same time, but did not see him do any thing in particular. He seemed to be intoxicated. Oa his cross-examination, the witness said that there were a great many persons in the street, and be believed many were there from mere curiosity. He might have told somebody, in his confusion, to cotne and see if all the pri soners were gone out of the gaol, in order to appease the mob. He denied that be bad received any intimation or expected that he was to lose his situation for negligence, unless the prisoners were convicted. Mrs. Roberto, wife to the last witness, spoke to the pre sence of Hudson and Roberts, whom she saw in the pas sage, as did also Ralph Wyberley, the turnkey ; the latter also spoke to Wardle and Bamford. Owen Magawley said that he went along with the mob to the gaol on that morning, and saw them tear up the lamp-post and beat in the door with it at the second stroke. He had previously observed the female prisoner point to the prisoners, saying, " Look at those poor lads," and she afterwards, when the lamp-post was torn up, seized a piece of the flag-pavement, and flung it at the windows, de claring " they should lose another pane." This witness swore positively that all the prisoners, except Hudson and the woman, helped to tear up the limp-post, and beat it against the door. Hudson, he said, he did not observe. On his cross-examination, he said he had been at Not tingham, and sworn to a confession made to him by Arm strong, who was convicted and hanged. He bad not been paid his expenses on that occasion. He went from Derby to Nottingh .in by the coach, and paid his fare himself, but he had got the money previously from the Solicitor for the Crown. He had lived, whilst at Nottingham, at the Rato-inn, and his expenses there were paid by the same gentleman. He returned to Derby by the coach, and paid his own fare in the same way lie had done when going. What he meant, then, by not having paid his ex penses was, that lie had not been paid for his time. The first day after his return to Derby he had spent at a public house, and the second day he spent walking about. On the third day he went to his work, but did not get any at first ; he did afterwards for a few days. He then went to Benton, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, and various other places, at each of which he said lie did nothing but eat, drink, and walk about. He did not know he was bound to tell where he got his money from to enable him to eat, drink, and walk about, without doing any work. He did not choose to tell. He had never been in prison in his life, nor charged with any offence except once—namely, break ing a woman's windows, of which he had " cleared him se'f innocent." His father had never charged him with robbing him, nor had he ever taken an oath about such a thing. His father was a Catholic, hut he did not know what he himself was ; he had been brought up to nothing ; sometimes he went to one place, and sometimes to another. He sometimes went to church. This riot took place on a Sun day, and he thought it very bad. He therefore went before the Magistrates and stated what he knew. He went there because his legs took him there. He went of his own ac cord, for no other reason than what he stated. He did not go the next day, nor in a week, nor two weeks, nor three weeks, nor four weeks, nor five, nor six, nor seven, nor eight weeks; but he thought it was not so much as nine weeks before he went. He believed there had been a reward of 1001. offered in the interval for the conviction of the persons who had broken open the gaol, but bad not taken any notice of that. He might have read it ;he did read it. Ther€ were hand-bills to that effect posted all ever the town. Bayley was one of the prisoners liberated on that occasion ; he had been charged with stealing a fowl. Turner was another of the witnesses ; he was also in prison on a charge of felony. He had been imprisoned on a former occasion before the Magistrates. Witness re membered going into the Duke of York public-house one day after his return from Nottingham, and hoped he should have the pleasure of seeing some of the persons here to day whom lie saw there on that occasion. He asked a brother of the prisoner Roome to drink with him, when another man said, " Don't, that's blood." Witness said it was not. The other asked him if lie did not go about the country swearing men's lives away, and if he had nut hung Armstrong ? Witness denied it ; but they brought the newspaper and read it, and threatened to kill him. When he was threatened, he was obliged to say, " You may take it so, if you will." Witness had known Turner all his life. He knew nearly all the prisoners in the gaol. When Turner was let out of the gaol, he took off his prison coat, and witness lent him his, and went home with him in his shirt sleeves. Witness did not go to tie gaol to help to break it open ; nor would he say he went as a spy ; he only went to see what was done, that he might give evidence of it another day. When the lamp-post was torn up, he put his font on it to stop the gas. A person with some such strange name as 31‘Cormick went with him to Nottingly- - :. to give evidence ; he had some such strange name himself as lll‘Gawley. His father was ser vant to a bricklayer. He did not know where he was born. (The witness was a native of Derbyshire, but de scended of Irish parents.) On his re-examination he said that he had been obliged to live in the prison latterly to prevent his being knocked on the head, in consequence of his having given evidence at Nottingham. When he visited the different places he had named he had gone there from Derby for the same reison; and he bad obtained money fur his support from the tow❑ clerk, who conducted the prosecution. The two prisoners, Bayley sad Turner, mentioned by the last witness, were severally called, and spoke to Need ham, Hanson, and Walters, as having been in the gaol on th e occasion in question, in addition to those spoken to by Roberts. No person having spoken for Roome, Mosedale, Kirk, or Catherine Henrys, except Owen M'Gawley, Mr, N. CLARKY, on behalf of the prosecution, said that ' felt he ought not to ask for a verdiet,agaiast those : lbtr. irisnners on the unconfirmed testimony' of that witness ihme.s—They were therefore declired entitled to an . 1 ni ttal. Of the remaining seven, the threeOsisnerp_..- e 444i, Hanson, and W a lt ers , w h o we r e onlyspoki4iitiy-411.1,, and the two felons, denied having heeif:ar-the-tai4fie dl. Hudson said he had not taken any Oi - ti iit`the •eedings, but had gone like many more respectable per ons out of curiosity, and that it was only after the pri ,oners had left the gaol that he iktered it, when he was -guested by the gaoler to satisfy the mob that all the prl i,m.rs had gone out. He stated to Mrs. Roberts who trifl what he was, and expressed a hope th it the mob went int going to his master's premises just near. Several wit nesses swore that he never went near the lamp-post, or took my part in the riot ; and did not enter the gaol until after the prisoners had been liberated. The witnesses gave him a most excellent character Roberts's defence was somewhat similar, except that he 401 he had been involuntarily carried along by the rush of the crowd, and so forced into the gaol, where, however, he hal taken no part whatever in the riot or enlargement of the prisoners. Bamford also called witnesses to disprove his havirg eaken any part with the rioters, an I War'le made a aim hr defence. Most of the prisoners received a viod chi. racter. Mr. Justice J. PARKE, after observing on the absence of a single respectable inhabitant of Derby. several of whom were stated to have been spectators of this outrage,, to state wha were the rioters or any of them, proceeded to call the attention of the Jury to the Cacti for th onci• , aeration. He cautioned them as to how far they of tto give credit to the testimony of Ml:miry, who was, upon his own showing, something very like an accomplice, and who had come forward under circumstances, and given his testimony in a manner, which certainly did not entitle it to much weight, except so far as it was corroborated by other credible evidence. The Learned Judge then surnm , -d up the case of each prisoner separately, and concluded his charge at five minutes past one o'clock in the morning. The Jury, after about a moment's deliberation, returned a verdict of Acquittal in favour of all the prisoners. The Court had continued crowded to the end of tl e trial, and the moment the verdict was announced the outer hall rung with the shouts and cheers of the populace. NISI PRIUS COURT. (Before Mr. Baron BAYLEY and a Special Jury.) BEMROSE V.' THE INHABITANTS OF THE BOROUGH OF' DERBY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a book and music seller in the mark , •t-place in this town, to recover compensation from the inhabitants for tho damage dens to his house and goods by a riotous mob, on the night of the Bth of October last. Mr. CLINTON and Mr. PENNINGTON conducted the phintiffs case, and Mr. BALGUY and Mr. N. CLARKE the defence. The action was brought on the 7th and Sth George IV., c. 31., under these circumstances :—About ten o'clock on the night of the Bth of October, accounts having been re ceived of the rejection of the Reform Bill, a mob assembled and broke amongst others the plaintiff's windows. They repeated their attack on his house at twelve and again at three o'clock in the morning. They broke not only all his windows, but forced the shutters of the shop, and shattered the glass inside them. They knocked all the books, music, instruments, &c., which were in the win dow about. They then went away, and returned at half past four, armed with iron bars and other instruments. They broke in t%e doors, and windows, and entered through the latter into the shop, to the number of thirty or forty, They threw the books and music in r mfu 1I s into the street. They then struck, with their crow-bars, at two iron pillars which stood in the shop win flow, and supported the front of the house, and without such support the front must have fallen. By this time it was five o'clock, and light was breaking; and Mr. Bem rose called out :to them, " You rascals, it is now getting light, and I shall know you again, and have you up before the Magistrates." lie was in the shop amongst them at the time. Some of the mob said, " Let him alone, we have done enough for him at present; we'll return -to night and finish bum." Same troops had arrived which were stationed in different parts of the town that night. The riots, however, continued in the town for two nights afterwards, but the plaintiff's house was not again at tacked. Upon these facts it was argued on behalf of the plaintiff, that there had beeu an evident intention on the part of the mob to demolish the plaintiff's house, which intention had been defeated by the approach of day, and the fear of detection. This was, therefore, a beginning to demolish within the meaning of the Act, and entitled the plantiff to recover. On the other hand, the defendant's counsel contended that there had been no intention to demolish the house or de ;more fait:Lief than they bad done, as there - was nothing to prevent them from completing their purpose either then or subsequently, the riots baying continued two days longer. The amount of the damages it was agreed should be settled out of Court, if the plaintiff established his right to recover. The Learned JUDGE left the question of intention to the Jury, who, after about a quarter of a❑ hour's deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff. SHREWSBURY ASSIZES, MARclr I'7. The commission opened here late on Thursday evening, and the Grand Jury were sworn on Friday. The calendar is not a heavy one, being forty prisoners for trial, and, with the exception of three for arson, there is nothing of interest. On the civil side there are eighteen causes set down, and but one Special Jury, which is an action brought by Broughton t. Strey, Esq., a gentleman of independent fortune and great respectability, against Offley Crew, Esq., a gentleman of equal rank and fortune. It is fixed for Monday morning. Yesterday there was no case of any interest. This morning, Hannah Spnwonds, a prmy innocent-looking girl, aged 16, was charged with vetting fire to the premises of Mr. John Forgeham, of Wixhole, in this county, her master. Mr. John Forgeham was a farmer, The prisoner was his apprentice: she is about 17 years of age; has been seven years in his service. On the morning of Friday, the 11th of November list, he heard a noise while in bed ; he heard persons speaking about a candle b,ing taken out of a lantern ; amongst them was the prisoner. Witness got up and gave the boys half a candle to take into the stable. It was very dark. He said to prisoner " How came you, Hannah, to take the waggoner's candle out of the lantern, you had no business to do that ?" Pri soner made no answer. He said that she deserved to be punished, for she had no business to take waggoner's candle. He went to bed again. This was about four o'clock in the morning, and at six o'clock prisoner came to the foot of the stairs and cried out " Oh Lord, master and mistress, get you up ; a fire, a fire !' He got up and ran down stairs, and asked she prisoner w here the fire was, and she said it was in the French wheat bay. He went down to the fire, which was too large to be put out. Two barns, a cow-house for twenty cows, a cart house, and granary were destroyed, as well as a considerable quantity of corn, fifty loads of straw, and ten tons of hay. Cross-exatnined—When witness saw the fire it was Id, zing strong, but he did not think it h n burning long. In about an hour after Mr. Harper, the attorney, came ; he examined all the 'nen-servants, but not the females. Mr. Murray, the Magistrate, was present at the time, but no charge was made against the prisoner for seven days after. He (witness) never took any improper liberties with her. Never did any thing more than put his hand upon her. He did not recollect b,ing called a dirty man by his wife fur taking liberties with the prisoner. His wife might have said so, but he did not recollect it. Re-examined—Once beat the prisoner with a small whip. Richard Jones resides near the prosecutor's ; and after the fire, when the prisoner was found out, he went to the prosecutor's house, and there saw the prisoner. He said he was sorry to see her placed in such a situation, and. without holding any inducement to her whatever, she made the confession now produced in the presence of Mr. Weston, and which was read over to her. " Voluntary , tatement• of Hannah Synnoonds to Richard Jones and Philip Weston, made the ISth day of November, 1831 : " Master threatened to beat me when he got up in the 1,100, ing. I took a stick that was in the fire and a snatch. I went to the bay nearest the cow-house and opened the door. I lighted the match by the fire-stick, and then I put the match to the straw, which lighted the straw as large as a man', hand be. fore I left. " HANNAH SYMMONDS, " Her mark. " Richard Jones, Philip Weston, and Thomas Weston, wit nesses." Prisoner being called on for her defence said, that het master bad treated her ill, and she was anxious to leave his service, and thought by accusing herself with burnm the stacks of corn and straw she would get herself dis charged from his service, which he could not du as being i.is apprentice. The Jury having consulted some short time, returned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended her to mercy on ac count of the ill-treatment of her master. The prosecutor earnestly recommended her to mercy on account of her irevious good character and conduct while in his service. file youth and innocent appearanc e of the promror, who i 4 an orphan, end perfectly destitute of relations, excitril • be greatest compassion.
