Dr. BaowN.raised an objection to the indictment, founded upon the case, Rex V. Mucklow, where a letter directed to .T. M. St. Martin.'s-lane, Birmingham, enclosing a bill of exchange, drawn in favour of J M., was delivered to the defendant, whose tim e was J. M., and who resided near - St. Martin's-lane, Bir laingham, but, in.truth, was intend e d f or a person of the name of J . M. who resided in Ne w Hall -street _; and the person, who from the. , con tents of the lett er must have known that it was not intended for him, applied th e hill of exchange to his own use, the judges held that it was no lar ceny, b ecause at the time when the l a t ter was delivered to him, the defendant had not the ani -1"4 furandi.---'-Greentrood's Statutes, Page 174. The LEARNED JUDGE overruled the objection, as there existed ! 3, 0 material distinctions between the two cases.

My house was in the cor ner of the yard. Steers are:what support the planks to season. The planks are placed on the edge. _ They are generally called steers, but sometimes called stacks of wood. When I went into the :'yard I-observed th e boards w e r e o n fire. Th e y • were blazing. There were roar steers in the yard. The - first steer was the first I observed on fire. That near the Rochdale road. I It was on fire in two distinct places. It might be four or five yards asunder. Some people came to my assistance, and also the fire engines. We dad every thinglye could, but without ef. feet. 'All the boards were consumed but a very few. The boards alone were worth £7OO. The tire afterwards spread to a building occupied by Charles Mills. The window frames were destroyed by fire, and- the spouting. The destruction of the house was prevented by the engines. The spout was fixed to the house. The roof was injured,, the lead incited, and the slates were so much damaged by the-heat that I had to replace them. There are two entrances to the-yard,' one on the Man chester and the other on the Rochdale toad. ,The first steer on. fire was about 120 yards from the Manchester road, and about 20 yards from the Rochdale road. Two persons were in the yard when I came down. I don't know how they got in. The gate was fastened by a spur, which is a prop of wood. It was a rail gate, not locked. It is about six feet high.

There were two persons in the yard . . wheal came down. There were many planks on fire at - the time.' The fiames of the house were consumed. There was a turn-out of all the sawyers iu Haywood and Rochdale. They wanted au aclance . of....wages. Haywood is three miles from Rochdale. At the time ot the fire some of the hands had. gone to work, but many were still out. The timber was very dry: Cannot say if eitber of the gates were opcm Four men turned out of my employ.

Three young men, who lodge with me, went down to the fir:, .My wife leeked 'at the clock. .1 looked out of the window before I went down. David Bell, sworn.—l am twelve, years of 'age, and live with my parents at Bagslate. Our • house is two miles from 'Hay wood. Remember the 30th of June last. Had been to meet my brother-in-law. Met him half-way between Heywood and Manchester. He returned home with me. We passed through Bowleigh. , It is on the Manchester side of Heywood. It was about ten o'clock. I know it because we went into the ale house and saw it was half-past nine when we got there, ailtl heard it strike ten as we ,canae out of the door. Bowleigh is about a mile or two from Heywood.. We went to Heywood. Had a heavy cart drawn by two horses. Heard a clock strike as we came off the moor, and were going into Heywood. The clock was in a house. It struck twelve. We hail 'been two hours coming. The road is hilly. We went after that to Mr. Mills timber-yard, It would take about half-an-hour to go through Heywood to Mills's yard : - It is alio - tit half-a-Mil e from. where we heard the clock strike. Knows the canal warehouse. It stands off the road-side. We pass Mills's house on the road from Manchester to Bayslate. I was, on the top of the cart. It was laden with cotton. .My brother-in-law was driving,the horses; on the far side from the gate. I called out to him when we got a little beyond the gate. I- saw four men standing, just at the side of the gate on the causeway. Kelly came towards the cart, and I thought he was going to rob the,cart4,. He came within three or four yards of the cart. He then' turned back to the other men. I looked at him - particularly, because I thought he was for.robbing the cart. I oould see what:sal-Vora Man he was., The• moon shone a little. I saw his , flee—ii-Was face, and be had large whiskers. He Was a big lusty man. I saw how he was dressed. He had light coloured ,cluthes.on. Had never seen him before. - The cart did not stop. I continued to look at him as far as I could, see him. •, Perhaps it - might he two or three minutes. I called to my brother,,but he could not hear me. He went on home. Never saw any one between Hey wood and Bayslate. As we just got home we saw a.great light, which we , supposed to be at Heywood.. We got home at two o'clock. 'The cart was very heavily laden, and the road in some parts very hilly. We went about a mile an hour. I told my father next morning what we had. seen. They were saying it was Joists Mills's timber-yard that was on fire. I told fattier I had seen four men, and thought I could. tell one of them again, and described the man. The overseer of Heip called at our house and wished me to go to Rochdale. I went on the sth July to the Lockup to see some men: The keeper and -my fa ther went with me. There were about seven or eight persOns locked up. I looked amongst-the men and found the man'out. I only knew one. That was Kelly: lam sure the prisoner is. the man I Raw at Heywood, at Mills's gate, at half-past twelve. By Dr. BROWN.—It was ten o'clock when we left Bowleigh. The ale-house is called the Bowleigh House. It is about two or three miles from there to where. we heard the clock strike. There might be some difference-in clocks. Most of the way is up-hill. It is not a bad road, but it is hilly. We were loaded with bales of cotton. -It was' about three bales high behind. They were large bales about five cwt. each. Only one man caine towards the cart, about three or four yards. I have both seen stout men and men with large whiskers. I have seen men with light clothes.

It is about four miles and a half from Bowleigh'. I met him at the Three Arrows about half-past eight. By Mr. BRANDT.—My brother left word I must go to meet him with one horse. --One horse could bring the load from Manchester to the Three Arrows. The branch road is a guar- • ter of-a mile from the Three Arrows. the constable's name Was John Howarth. I heard the men come in after the fire. By Dr. BROWN.—The constable came running up stairs and woke me. No one was in the room when Kelly came in, but. the women: I have a back door as well as a front door. By the JUDGE.—I know the Mason's ArMs public-house.. I should not have to pass Mills's timber yard'in going 'from my house to the Mason's Arms. It is about three minutes Walk' from my house to the Bury road. Mr. Shelley I think was in the bedroom with Kelly when the constable came.

I was at my mother's house on the . night of the 30th June. Pri .soner came between'eleven and half-past. - I was washing some clothes when he came. My mother was up. Another woman, named Sheridan, was up. Prisoner was in the habit of sleeping at my mother's. He came many a time. The bed he ,usually had was occupied by my brother and Mr. She' idau. I heard some conversation between prisoner and my mother. She asked him to have a.cup of tea. He refused to have it, and said he he should like to lie down. I spoke to Kelly. This was in the kitchen. He went afterwards and lay down in the front room. He fell asleep immediately. He was very ill drunk. I conti nued Washing. My mother went to bed about a quarter of an hour after prisoner came in. Mrs. Sheridan went to bed soon after. I remained up till near one o'clock. 1 was the last up. In the night I heard a cry of fire. I had not been in bed a long time. I got up when I heard the cry of fire. I went to the front room window and saw Mills's timber yard on fire. The men were going out when I was going into the room. I dressed myself and took a can to help to slack the fire. I saw Kelly on the couch where 1 had left hint, and he was there when I went out. By Mr. BRANDT.—I barred the door that night. It is never locked. We have not had a key for some time. We always leave the shutters open. We have lost the cotter. We put them to when we have a fire in the room. The prisoner had some clothes, a saw, and other things at our house. Heard Mother say that prisoner had been at our house about four o'clock. Had supper about eleven o'clock. I had a fried herring for supper. Cannot say what mother had; she might have had a bit of my herring. Mrs. Sheridan, I dare say, had bit of supper. Cannot say if the supper things were on the table when Kelly came in. The cups and saucers were on the table. There was some tea in the pot. I did not hear Kelly snore before mother went to bed. The room in which he-slept was under that in which the four men slept. It might be .half an hour after my mother went to bed that Mrs. Sheridan went. We all sleep together. Can't say where the alarm of fire pro ceeded from. I think it came out of the other room. Mrs. Sheridan woke at the same time. Never heard the men say it Was a fire in Mills'.s yard before I saw it myself. The men opened the door to go out. We went as fast as we could. There Were a great many people using.and inquiring for cans. Kelly was fast asleep when I came back about four o'clock. He was there when I went to my work about half-past six. If he had waked he had only to unbolt the door and go out. By Mr. PEEL.—My mother awoke first. I never noticed the baek door. Cannot say whether it was locked.

Edmund Chadwick sworn.--I ani a private watchman at Schofield's factory at Heywood. Remember the morning of the Ist of July; at twenty-five minutes to two I was sent to a spring on the. road leading from Mr. Mills's yard. It was Aunt two hundred yards distant. The spring is on the lower side of the Rochdale road. It is near to Heywood. If going from Heywood to the - spring, I should pass Mills's timber-yard. Know Wilkinson's house; know Hartley-street: The spring is nearer Hartley-street than Rochdale; about one hundred yards from Hartley-street; also about one hundred yards from Wilkinson's house. I went to the timber-yard before I went to the spring. Schofield's factory is near the Manchester. road. Came into the Rochdale road, and turned to the left to go to the timber-yard. --• . Charles .Wilkins recalled.—ln coming along the Manchester road, we should pass •Schotield's factory. We should come to Schofield's factory before we come to Hartley-street. In going from Schofield's factory to the timber-yard, we should go down a lane called Rochdale-lane into the Rochdale road. The White Lion is at the junction of the lane and road. The spring is almost opposite the end of Rochdale-lane. Edmund Chadwick resumed.—ln going to the spring I saw something near the timber-yard. In consequence of what I saw, I ran to the timber-yard. I saw .fire; one of the steers was blazing. I saw four persons coming near to the White Lion;. two were abreast and two about two yards behind. They were coming in a direction from the timber-yard towards Rochdale. They were near the White Lion when I first saw them; they were walking very sharply. The White Lion is about 150 yards from the timber-yard. I was on the opposite side of the road. They were on the side dpposite the timber-yard. They were, running on the footpath. I did not take such notice .of the men as to know them again. I crossed the road and saw the reflec-. - - tion of the fire on a house opposite, and ran up and .gave the alarm before I went back to my house. By Dr. BROWN.—I was the first person who gave the alarm. The four men were going in great haste towards Rochdale. It was about twenty-five minutes to two when I saw them. .

On the afternoon of the 30th of June I went to a public house on the New Bury rold. • It is about half - way between Heyloodand, Rochdale. The distance between Heywood'and Rochdale is about three miles. When I left the ;public-house. it was about half-past three iu the afternoon.

I went to the prisoner and tapped him with the stick on the arm, and said, " what is the matter with you." He turned round immediately and struck me on the rattle which was fixed on my breast. It was rather a heavy blow. As he drew back his hand I saw a knife in it. It was a large carving or bacon knife. (The knife was produced in court.) I struck him with my stick across the arm, to render it powerless. I struck as bard as I could. The crowd pushed me on towards the prisoner, who turned round with the blade ofthe knife turned downwards. I raised my arm and received the blow upon my arm.

The prisoner pleaded not guilty. The prisoner was a poultry-dealer in Manchester, and from the evidence it appeared that the deceased was a woman of very inteinperate habits, and had been the occasion of a great - - deal of trouble to the priSoner. On the day of the accident he had been to the Manchester races, and on his return tl,und his wife in a state of - grbsSintokication: Some angry words - ensued, and in a moment of passion he gave her the fatal Wound which caused her death. He was greatly distressed at the time, and rendered every assistance. Several witnesses bore testimony to the general good character of the prisoner. —The jury acquitted the prisoner. Mary Ann Graham was charged with the wilful murder of a female bastard chili, at Liverpool. The prisoner pleaded not guilty to the - charge of murder, but acknowledged her guilt in concealing the birth of the child. The evidence in support of the prosnution was not quite sa tisfactory. in the opinion of the learned Judge, to convict on the capital offence, and under his instruction the jury'found the prisoner guilty of the minor offence, flir which she was sentenced to be imprisoned one calendar month. - Samuel Wharf, who was found guilty of stabbing his wife, was brought up for judgment. The learned judge commented in very strong language on the enormity of his crime, and said that,'had the jury found him guilty of intent to murder, lie should most certainly have let the law take its course. But, on the recommendatiOn .of the jury, he should not inflict upon him the severest 'penalty of the law, but should sentence him to perpetual imprisonment, in chains, i❑ one of the condemned colonies, forthe term of his natural life; and •he believed that, compared t►ith the misery and degradation which he would suf fer, death itself would be a blessing. During the, sentence the prisoner required the support of three or Omr officers, and 'at its conclusion he fainted away, and was carried down by the assistants.

Mr. Can - sswEr.r., in stating the case, said he appeared on be half of Mr. Leydon, a gentleman of great respectahility in the Customs, who had filled situations of tract in the -- Customs in Dublin for a number of years, and who in 18.31 was promoted to the Liverpool Customs.: The defendant was a tide-waiter, and the plaintiff complained-that the defendant had com m itt e d a very violent as s ault• on •hi m in-th e presence o f a num b er o f gent l emen, accompanying that assault on his part with a great deal of pr- Sonal abuse. lie was told that. the plaintiff and defendant were not on speaking acquaintance more than was necessary between supeOors and inferiors in an office. It would scent that Mr. l'%tirviollgb,had considered that. Mr. Lepton had carried himself rather too high, and was offended at it, and took the opportunity t,t insulting Mr. Leydon hail the misfortune to be short and was in the habit of inking through au eye-glass; and one day as.he was coining from the Custom-house, the de fewhant„ got a ring, and in a very sheeted Manner mimicked him. Mr. Leydoty said '.`really, sir, I don't know why yin should use. this conduct to tne." Mr. Fairclough took offence at this, and afterwards called on Mr. Leydon for au apology or some satisfac tion, and affected to be greatly hurt because he would not give an apology. He_ was told that the defendant was one or the last persons who would think it necessary to fight a duel. to support a character for courage.for he was told. he was.a gentleman of undoubted courage. Mr. Leydon did not think it becoming in him either to make an apology for a supposed offence, and still less to fight a duel with Mr. Fain:lough. Besides it was contrary to the titles of the Custom-house. Mr. Fairctough, on this, took advantage of the plaintiff coining to the Custom-house . one morning, and immediately struck him more than once with a stick, saying, " Now, sir, You are coward ; I have thrashed you —I have caned you ; " and, calling on the persons around to witness that he had called him a coward. For this the plaintiff had called on the laws of his country for protection. The jury would take into consideration the grievance of, a gentleman in every sense being call e d a cowar d, an d use d as he had described amongst his equals. Not the slightest imputation could be cast on either the character or the courage of the plaintiff, and his feelings must have been proportionably injured. He cal led Timothy Hensolemn, who deposed to being a landing-waiter, and knowing both plaintiffand defendant. On the evening of the 25th of Nov. last, as the plaintiff was cowing from the Custom house, in the passage, he remarked Mr. Fairclough put a piece of C straw in imitation of an eve-glass, and ogle the plaintiff in a very ridiculous manner. He saw the defendant, the morning after, assault Mr. Leydon by laying his stick over his shout-, tiers in the long-room, and desire him at the same time to consider himself as horsewhipped, calling bins a coward. From 40 to 50 persons were present ; the office was crowded. Cross-examined.—Ile did, not know that the plaintiff was the terror of all lauding-waiters; he was not the te:,, , )r of hint. He holieved he had fought several duels. He never heard of his being engaged in more than one duel. He had never shown him the mark on his hand. Probably he might be the mower in stead of the marquee (laughter.) He had never seen his terrible pistols. He had heard him speak of them. He never saw the three crosses on them which marked the three men whom he had killed. (Loud laughter.) He might be the terror of all the Custom-house officers but himself. Mr. Leydou had brought the case before the inspector-general, and there was an investi gation. The Board. of Customs recommended au amicable ar rangement: that defendant should express his sorrow.fpr the as sault in the presence of the landing-waiters who saw it commit ted. He was present when the apology was offered before several of the landing-waiters and several of the heads of the office. There were perhaps fifteen persons present. The' de fendant said he was prepared to apologize; the plaintiff, said "it was not an apology he wanted." lie had seen Mr. Leydon put himself in the attitude in which he was in the habit of fight ing (laughter.) Mr. ALEXANDER.-Will you be kind enough to show us that ' attitude ? (Loud laug.hter.) Witness.-1. am a very bad mimic, lam afraid I could not do it to your satisfaction. (Laughter.) Mr. OLIESSIVE , I. objected to the witness being made to show the attitude, as an irregularity. His lordship, on being appealed to, decided that it would be so. Mr. ALEXANDER.—Then you need not show , the attitude. Witness.—Thank you, sir. (Laughter ) Mr. ALEXANDER.—Did the attitude look very alarming? Witness.—Yes, it was an outstretched ann. (Laughter.) Mr. ALEXANDER.—Did he look desperately at his man? (Continued laughter.) • Witness.—Yes, just as you did it then, (Loud laughter.) Mr. A LEx NDEIt.—TO whoni were these attitudes shown? Witness.—To Mr. Leydon's acquaintance of the higher classes. (Laughter,) Mr. AI,KX,ANCER,--flavc you beard him . say anything on these occasions like_ this—" What a, beautiful corpse I could make at twelve paces." (Roars of laughter.) Witness.—Yes, something like it. Mr. ALEXANDER.—WeII, what was it that was like this beau tiful corpse at twelve paces ? - ( Laughter.) You must not be offended at me. _ Witness.-011, no! (Great laughter.) I have never heard the word corpse out of Mr. Leydon's mouth. Mr. • ALAXANDER. — Was it carcase think you ? That is a more delicate wort, you. know. (Roars of laughter.) Witness.—l never heard that expression from him. He could not tell what it was like that he heard. Mr. Leydon was rather quick in a quarrel. He did not know that he was known in the customs by the familiar term of "the fire eater." No great distinction was mule between the classes of the tide waiters. Their respectability depended on the manner in which they conducted themselves. Re-examined.—His impression was that th e a p o l og y h a d been refused as not a satisfaction for the inju r y, George Waist examined.—He deposed to being a landing waiter at the Custom-house. He was present iu November last when the - .plaintiff Was assaulted. There were about forty persons present. Mr. Fairciough appeared waiting for the plaintiff before he. came in, and on his arrival immediately fol lowed him and struck hiin Cross-examined.--He bad.heard Mr. Leydon was celebrated for his duels. Ile did not knew that liew as an object of t e rror. lie bad heard him 'speak ab o ut dhelling. He lied never told him about the three nien he had killed. (Laughter.) Mr. ALEXANDER.—What not the three crosses? (Great laughter.) Witness.—No; I have heard he kept a pair of pistols. From his talk they were a pair of beautiful pistols. (Laughter.) r. ALEXANDER.—Desperate' deadly ones (Laughter.) Witness.—Yes. (Continued laughter.) I fancy the lauding waiters were expecting something like the horsewhipping., for they weiejoStlingtogether to see the performance. (Laughter.) He had many times seen the attitude Mr. Ley don put himself in as the attitude its which persons should tight. Mr. AI.EXANDeIi.—I dare not ask you to show it. Witness.—No, I can't. •Thereis none but himself 'can do it., (Laughter.) Mr. ALEXANDER.—IIe is i n i m i ta bl e i n i t ? (Continued laughter.) Witness.—Oh, completely so. (Great laughter.)

Mr. ALEXAVDER, in defence, thought it a great pity that the plaintiff should have brought this action after the apology which had be e n offered. H e r idi cu l e d th e id ea o f th er e being smell a difference between the claSses of the parties. lie thought the quizzing had been a plan amongst the land inpwaiters to ascer tain whether the plaintiff was what he wished to appear-such a terrible man, or, a sort of Bobadil inthe Custom-house. They appeared to take him for a sort of Bob Acres, and that all this boasting was " sham Abram," and the landing-waiters wished • to put his high courage to the test. There was no doubt but the verdict must go against the defendant, but they must con sider what amount of damages would be sufficient. The plain tiff had refused an apology, and therefore it appeared as if he wished to get money from this fourth-class lauding-waiter. it appeared that the stick was twice laid on his shoulders; it was laid on, not with a hearty thwack. He bad received no per sonal injury. An ample apology had been offered for the insult, and a gentleman, -kith fine,feelings,of ,honour, would. :r~.; ~~, :xti~nwaw~ bave accepted it•ant 11;rgutten the injury.

A man carne there for compensatithi for wounded feel ings, and his feelings were of such a liathre tliaA a han•lsonie apology Would not salve them, but he•watited Money in hilt pocket. It would appear that the defendant had done.vhat he ought to have done, and the plaintiff had refused to accept it. They should put these matters tbgether, and, in their opinion, decide what was the proper amount of damages: The jury retired for a shirt time and found a verdict fOrth e Plaintiff—damages. ls.; costs, Is.

ASHWONTIi, . . „ The Artornet-Minevat, Mr: COltman, and Mr. Adolphus ap pe4red fur the prosecution, unit Dr. Lirs,wn ani.l Mr. Beauth for the. defence The indict ment'ehaiiied the defendant, who :s a ‹urveyor of the highway between Middleton and Mauchester,, w.:h having thrown a quantity of iubbiSli on the side of the giving any notice or erecting any hamlet', whereby one Joshua Fielding who was driving a mail coach upset it, 'and wheieby one William Dunn Was iejunet. The ATTORNEY GENERAL in opening the case sail, this was an indictment brought by his Majesty's Post Master-C. , noral, charging the defendant, Mr. Ashworth and several others with a nuisance on the King's highway. This Was a prosecution which the Postmaster-General had thought it his duty tO bring, before them, not with any vindictive feeling, but merely for the pdtilic safety. The defendant .fias the surveyor of a part of the highway near Middleton—the great highw'av between Manches ter and York. About the month of April, 18'35, some altera tions in the line of road were intended, and shortly alter com menced. It was the duty of persons who superintend these altera-; Lions to take care that something was dune to afford a catitiori to passengers, and particularly by night. On the night of the 19th of December, the mail coach which travels between this town to York was passing. on the road about nine o'clock at night. The coachman was Sober, and being aware that some alterations were going on, he drove steady. On passing along, his near wheel caught an embankment, thrown up in making some alterations, by which the coach was overturned, the guard was severely hurt, and two passengers injured. IJudoubtedly these alterations must be made, but when made, some fence should be erected for the purpose of keening the ri , ssenger off any dangereus ground,. or some person or lantern placed there to warn the traveller of the danger. Mr. Ashworth was the surveyor, and has several servants employed under him, who were all introduced into the record, lest any error or leulit should arise as to the persun against whom the action should be brought. The surveyor had expressed his sorrow for what had occurred, and had promised that greater utution should be used in future. The Postmaster-General had brought this action solely as a public duty. Joshua Fielding deposed to being coachman, and driving the mail on the 19th of December from . Manchester to Liverpetot. The night was dark and snowy. On arriving at Middleton; where they wore making a neiv road, the each was overturned against a bank of earth, and the whirl 'and a passenger were much hurt. Cross-examined by Mi.. 'BitOw N. rk could see his way there. He was minding his horses, and could not tell whether the pas sengers were trying to hind the way, it was SO . dark. 11e was not the regular coachman ; he had been driving 'or a week: He could not tell whether there was . a. house within ten yards" Of the accident; he had net itiessered it. It could not be a foot path that upset the coach, there was no footpath. It folks Made . it a footpath it was a rough 'tot, it was nothing but dirt. There might be a footpath under the dirt. The coach wheel got on the diit, and that was all abutit it. The dirt would remain there till sick times as it was removed. He did not put the hat over his eves to keel') the snow off, brit pia it on his head to keep it warm and comfortable. He could not read plans . , he knew nothing about them; he never read a plan in his ri-rt, - .and could not tell whether the plan pil , duced was correct or not. He-examined.—He knew the road well, fur he had dray the "All Nations" on it for two 'ears before. W. Dunn was guard of the mail on the night in queslon. On arriving at the place where the accident happened, there was no lamp or barrier to indiCate where the alterationi had been made; if there bad, in his opinion, no accident would have h4ppeur4.l. He was so much injured by the accident as to be confined seven weeks. Cross-examined,-,The new road xias under; so far as com pleted, then ,the old road. Arthur Wellesley Critchley, of Woodside, was sitting nn the box at the time the accident happened, and was injured by it: Ile believ e d it, was a part of the new road which caused the Overturn. There was nothing to . warn pak,engers of the danger. A lamp and rail were erected when he was past about three three weeks after. Cross-examined.—lt was very dirl4, and beginning to snow when the accident happened. He had said, no blame could attach to the coachman," but uot: "Lid he could not see his way before Mr. Thomas Robinson ; of Leeds - , deposed to being incite the coach when it overturned.

Joseph Lees, who lives at the Black Bull, bear whore the ac cideut happened. He proved the names* the wiokmen who were employed in making the alti:ri,tions. i;ittl who were in cluded in the indictment, and that the piecen:.ire tliey worked was where the accident happened. Mr. Wm. Haley, surveyor, was eruploYCd by the past-allies to examine the place where the acciaeut. occurred. The new materials was hurl three feet three inches over the old toad. It was one foot six inches higticr than the road. Mr. Henry Barker was examined. lie i4as in the employ ment of the post-,oCive to examine where the accidFut happened: . He saw Mt Ashworth, the defebilant, tcho said that he alone was to blame, and he would take care it did notoecur again. Dr. BitowN, in speaking ter the defence, desiguatcd the in cluding the poor men in the indictment as a most harsh Ino, cedure, and that the prosecution was entirely bronght in order to hasien the completion ot:the road, and that the coa c h was overturned at the foot-path, whic h the defendant had lowered if,anything, and that there was no yubhish 'pl ace d by theta in the road. He called a number of witnesses, who deposed to their beifig; no new material ou the old road, replied.--With With regard to Dr. Brloshven'sAt:trarteßm7bYt-r ( e 3 g K a s' rli7n A g L the pour then, they were all liable in point of law. His Lordship, in summing up, remarked,l:,:it he thought the indicting the labourers an error itt judgment, but they were clearly all liable in point 14 law No should a verdict . go against them, n , ' harsh measureswouldha pressed. The jury, after about a quarter of an hour's consultation, found a verdict for the defendants, but they cousidered it right to state, as r.‘garded Mr. Ashworth, as a public servant, that he had been guilty of a great want of caution in not protecting the public. The verdict was received with ono or two hisses: The court was adjourned at seven o'clock. Mr. Justice MONDAY. Coleridge took his seat shortly after nine o'clock. LOCK V.
