ABINGDON ASSIZES. 'ON Saturday sennight the Hon. Baron . Tt tbs: and tile Hon. Justice t. opened their Commission at Abingdon, for holding the AsSizeS for the County of Berks,. when James Dormer, John Ladwick, and:William Sumpter, were capitally con- Atided, and received sentence of death. Dormer, who was tried for being concerned with Richard Alder, in the murder of John Robinson, hawker and pedlar, by shooting him thrOugh the head, near the Fleece Inn, Cookham, Berks, was, executed at Reading on Thursday morning last ; but Lad Wick, who was found guilty of felony, and Sumpter, of sheep.stealing, were bOth reprieved. BA.TTEN (V. STRatID. This was a cause of a most extraordinary nature, and is briefly thus :- 7 - 7 The Plaintiff. Batten, 'who is a sheep dealer, gave a draft'for twohundred pounds to a Mr. Loman; payable by the Defendant, Mr. Stroud of Newbury, (who is a reputable Auelioneer) 1 01 :ii the Money arising from the effetAs of the-said Plaintiff, after decluding two several sums due to the said Defendant and a Farmer Burch, whose bill was 201.-r-The draft 'was accepted by the Defend ant in the presence of . the Plain;iff, who well knew _the acceptance, and in what manner-and upon what -.condition it was accepted. ;',After ' , the • sale of effeas, he wrote to the Defendant to pay the amount of the sale, to his brother, Benjamin ..Battien i •who is alsb a sheep dealer. The Nfendant was surprised, and prudently refused payment. The. Plaintiff. proceeded at law to r,ecover.the amount of the sale. The Court saw the dark intentions of Batten, and imaniinottsly gave a .veicliet for the. De fendant with costs. ..At the above Assizes an Ejeelment Cause of con. sitlerable importance came on at Nisi Prius, which occupied the patient'attention of a crowded Court no leis time than -sixteen ,hours ; the Jury taking nearly an hotir and a half of.that period to .delibe rate on their verdi4l,. which they :at length deliver lalthough nut without apparent' difficulty of ac-, kiidtMeef in favour : of the Defendant, at the hour in the morning. • • _ __ _ The Plaintiffs in this Cause.were a Mr. and Mrs. Crate, of Candover in Hampshire (the latter being Aunt and Heir At Law of a Mr. John Brown, late of Speenhamland in this County, deceased), and. the Defendant was a daughter of Richard Giles, of - .the same place (one of the Executors), and principal Devisee of the Twator'S real estate-.under a Will,- which was contended to have been obtained by the- Executors, Giles and Masters (who it appeared were strangers. in blood to the deceased, but the principal objeas of his bounty), either through fraud and impositiisn, or by a sedulous; importunate and improper interference with the Testator, while he was ;n extremis, labouring under an intertnittenp, fever, occasionally accompanied with delirium, and of which the Testator died in a few days after the Will was executed. • • . . It was inanifcst,- by the - jury applying to the Court to know if they could return a' Special Ver. diet (by finding the Will good, as to so much of it of which any evialcnc&was adduced of instrUtlions froth the Testator,' but Toad as to the. other ,part&j, that there had existed either fraud or the interpo.. tiltion imputed i--=but being informed, that the - . Will Must wholly exist, or not all ; and the Jury, con sidering that some of the Legatees in the Will slight not be parties . to .the fraud or interposition complained of, at length delivered a Verdiet in fa vour of the Will. • Tht Property involved in this question was re_ presented to be between 4:and 5°691. and, we un derstand, is still to be made a saSjca of litigation in the Ecclesiastical Court: - On Tuesday se'nnight their Lordships•opened their CoMmission for the County of Oxford at the Town when Thomas Seaford and Jahn Penn,for sheep_ stealing, were . capitally convited, and received sentence of death, but were reprieved before their ttirdships left the town. John White, Thomas Fleming, and John Carter, for stealing a•q - uantity Of wheat, and some sacks ; and John Bristow, fol stealing a quantity of gloves and' skins from the Worcester waggon ; were . sentenced to be trans ported for seven years ; .one to be imprisoned six months, one to be privately whipped, and the .rest were severally acquitted and discharged. . At the Assizes for Oxford, a Cause of consider able importance came on to be heard at the Nisi Wius Bar : The Incorporated'Company of Blanket eavers in Witney, Plaintiffs, and Thomas Jack son; Defendant, wlfich was commenced for the reed very of different fines inflided for the fraudulent ma nufaduring of Blankets, contrary to the Bye-Laws made under their Charter, granted by Queen Anne. On the hearing of this ,Cause, the Charter and the several Bye-taws declared on were produced,,ind fully established;; and the Jury 'found- a `verditt for the. Plaintiffs. The Bye_Laws 'in' question ap: i:ieared to be excellently suited to the intended purpose,- * by them any manufadurer_ is obliged to : send his Blankets to the Common Hall, of the Company before they are fulled' and dresSl ed ; and - again' to be weighed " and measured, when dressed and dry. Particular "weights are fixed tor Blankets of all the different sieS made; and if . the Blankets of any size ,are of a less weight than fixed. by the Bye-Laws, of aee of a less weight - than appointed; or. if any of, the Blankets exceed. the measure, even by -a nail, in length or breadth,. the mahufadurer is liable 'to a fine. • These - re ' gularions have - contributed in a great degree to the high charade! of the ;Witney Blankets, and; there 'fore it was of - great consequence to the Company to' convince all the Members, that an infringment of the Bye.ta'ws would not be suffered to pass tiniitinished. • COUNTRY NEWS, READING, JULY 18.

When they were apprehended 'some time after wards upon suspicion, they both :acknowledged that they committed the Murder, but each denied , being the aauai . perpetrator, and each accused_ the other with' firing the p m istol ;: and to the last o ment, in the most serious and solemn manner, Dor . tiler declared that it was *Alder who -shot the de-• ceased. .While in ,prison he behaved in the most Unbecoming . and abandOned manner, and spoke of the Murder with very' apparent unconcern, especi ally , the day before he left .the .gaol. to. be taken to the Assizes; and he .'declared - if he was• to be hanged," e would not die for nothing, for he would, kill some one before he died ; but upon his return to the gaol he appeared a very altered man; and said the'. Devil had such power over him that he• could not petition 'the Judge to have. mercy upon. him, but hoped God would. Ileac knowledged that he had 'been a very great ,and notorious offender, and had .committed, and Was privy' to, a great' number of 'robberies. The day before his execution he signified 'to his brother a Wish 'to see Mr. Williams, the Curate Of Wycomb, who ' yel-y humanely came over to' see him the' next morning. ,He had liVed some tinie. wiih Mr. Williams, who' gave him'a charaaer of Weing a tender-hearted man .while in his service. He appeared much pleased with his master, and re .ceived with great pleasure his filen* advice and instrudion. About half and. twelve, Dormer was brought on the Drop, and . after the Chaplain had finished his prayers, he sung the 3oth'Hymn,_ from Mr. Cado.: gap's Coneaion; in which the'Rev.. Mr. Williams humanely' joined him :, This being finished, he ad dressed the ipedtators„ s.iilio . were very numerous) in the moii impressive manner, in nearly the foi_ lowing words : " TALLOW SINNERS, .

I did not do the deed for which I am condemned to stiffer; Though I was con cerned in the fad—it was Alder who it, and he Ought to have' suffered also. This should be a warning to Judges and Juries on whom they fix the Crime. I confess, however, that r suffer justly. 'Before I was sent to gaol, and until I was con deinned,l never . thought of death; but thank God, I have now seen my mistake, and have repented in the 48 hourS'that were allowed me, and am a very different 'man, and feel myself perfectly Let m 6 appeal to all who see what a shocking end 1 must come to in a few' minutes ; don't go away and say, a good fellow is -gone : pray repent, and turn from your evil ways, you know not how soon death may visit you—in 'an 'ltOur'S' time or less ; none of you are sure of an . hotit,; . may G6cl there-. fore change your hearts of stone into hearts of flesh. -I am sorry I- have acted_ as I have done ; I have committed many off;nceS,. though I have had 'many opportunities of. doing well, but negleaed them all . till it was too late:.

I forgive every body., .and-I hOpe God will forgive me the many offence I have committed." . After )kehad rinislied.apeoking, he sung the 12 isi Hymn, in which Mr.' Williams again 'assisted him . . Just as the,xecutioner was fixing the, rope he turned to him and said, he wished to"pray a few minutes, and threw himself on his knees, and prayed a short. time. He then rose with every appearance of the most perfe& , composure, and, was launched into eternity, about half past one o'clock. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE: PRESTON RACES.
