PAM Ir. =LB W&

This was an action to reopen damages from the defendant !
for haying ridden over the land of the plaintiff while hit- 11
Tag and damaging his crops, and the declaration she alleged
that he bad sustained damage by oasts of the defeselant
haring turned out large quantities of rabbits epee his land, ,
and by his keeping a lugs number of phoned.. The de- I
fended by his plea denied generally hung committed any
of the treepanes=ed by the plaintiff, and also have and
Mamas, as it te
Mr. Bar, Shee end Mr. Patchett were for the plats-
tiff ; Mr. Bevil., Q.C., Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr G.
Hotwymau were counsel for the defeodant.
The plaintiff in this action is a farmer, occupying a form
tolled South Park Farm, at Bletchingly, sad although he is
a Yorkshirenne he did not seem to bare that loot for
horseflesh and tin sports of the field generally attributed to
the inhabitants of that county, but, on the contrary, there
to be no doubt that he was a determined enemy I
fox-hunting. The defendant is an active supporter of
the Surrey Hutt, sad rides very frequently with the Surrey !
foxhounds, said the Endow hounds, and the action was
far
os t recover dameges, partly for the injuries
by the defendant and other gentlemen riding
over the plaintiff's land, and also for the injury occa-
stoned by the game during the period when he had I
the right of shooting over the plaintiff's farm. It ap-
mud that the plaintiff used to let the right of shooting
over his farm, sod originally be did so to a gentlemen named
Arked, who resided at Maidstone, but he gave up his right
to two gentlemen named Coles and Strange, and they, it
appeared let it to the present defendant, end from that time
tenons differences seemed to have taken place between him
and the plaintiff, chiefly on account of his insisting to ride over
the farm, and the hounds being brought to draw his covers.
Upon one occasion it seemed that the plaintiff stopped one
of the gentlemen who was following the hounds, and blows
were struck, and he knockedthis gentleman off hie horse.
After this plaintiff summoned the person who had been as-
saulted, and the case stood over, and it appeared that on the
sth of Jameary, 1861, he was invited to dins at the Grey-
hound, at Croydoe, with the defendant, Mr. Mortimer, the
master of the fax hounds, end several other gentlemen who
took an interest in the hank for the purpose of settling
the summons, and, according to his statement, he was
plied with some wine, and made drank, aid while in that
°audition he sgned some agreement, which it appeared be
was afterwards desirous to repudiate. Although the
damage done by limiting was locadeetally introduced into
the ease, the principal ground of injury that appeared to be
relied upon by the plaintiff was that alleged have been
000uloued by game especially by rabbits and pheasants,
it bung dared that the keepers of the defendant had
tuned down lugs quantities of rabbits upon the land, sod
that • very large quantity of phonanta Ind bees hatched by
bean, and that those had, together, occulted the damage
of which the plaintiff emplaned.
The plaintiff, in his evidence, spoke to the above facts,
ad also to the damage he alleged he had sustained, and he
appeared to intimate the injury at rather an emery*
amount. He represented that upon some of his fields be
had, upon occaiume, pow, as much se five quarters of
wheat to m acre, sod he alleged that owing to the ravages
committed by the rabbits and the pharaoh during the
year 1861 his crops had been almost entirely destroyed.
He also spoke to the defendant having admitted to him
upon me occasion that he had ordered a number of rabbits
to be Wiped down upon the farm.
Mr. Irovill subjected the *sista to a very severe crow
examination, in the mune of which he stated that he only
paid 10e. an sore for the rent of his land, end the defendant
id him 2s. an acre for the right of shooting. He ad-
mitted that the lad was a very wet, cold, clay soil, end
that in wet sauces a considerable portion of it was co-
vered with water. It appeared that there had been proceed-
isp in Chancery arising out of the agreement that had been
made by the plaintiff, and that be lad made an affidavit
that he was drink at the time he took the agressoret,
bat, notwithstanding this, a decree lied been made
against him, sad he was compelled to carry out the
t. It also appeared that he had swore, during
Vl:rheDeley an pronsdimps, that he vas so drunk that lie
wag compelled to sleep at Croydon at the night of the
dingier, and be admitted that this was sot tom, sad fiat,
in point of fact, he went home to his own redeem, and
that, as he said, he found himself in his own bed on the
following day. In edition to this it appeared that in bin
affidavit, made in the omen of the Chesney proandings,
he alleged that the defendant had employed persons to
Bates up pheasants sad rabbits is position when the
labourers of the plaintiff would pass, is ceder that they
might be indeed to take them up, and that he then inati-
toted legal pito...item ageing them.
Mr. Emil premed the plaintiff to give the seanedreay
one of Itia labourers with respect to whom he slimed 41111111 •
proceeding a the me he referred to had taken pleas, hat
he declined to do so.
The Lord Chief Justice interposed, and mid he shod&
insist upon the quaetiou being answered. it was a most
ecandelous imputation to mat upon say on. to say that
he had tempted another to commit an dews for the per-
posed putting the law in force spirt him ; and if there
WS' any truth in the charge, the plaintiff ought to state
the name of the person who was so treated.
The plaintiff looked very contend ; and then, after consi-
derable besitatios, mid he was afraid to speak the truth
as, if he did, there were a done whimsies there who would
contradict him.
The Lord Chief Justice told him that it was ridiculous to
make each an excuse as this, and ague heisted upon the
question being aaewered, and said that if be had told
a he, the best thing he could do me to admit it at once.
The plaintiff still would not answer the quantal), but
became deadly pale, and appeared a though he would have
fallen.
The jay iniesponed, and inquired whether they might
not Mop the ems afur thet thisr
w ponith
the t, as they considered it ume-
cemery to Fund uiry.
The Loed Chief Ju.stiee said that inq
without some answer
bend gins to the paddye evidence of the plaintiff as to
the hump, be thought they would be hardly justified in
girls' a verdict ;• and the trial oonsequently proceeded.
Mr. Boeill, damn adoring the jury, odd the de-
fendant and several ether gentlemen as winner, sad the
effect of their evident' went to show that the plaintiff was
perfectly sober when he made the agreement referred
to, and that at that time he alansted to take
81. in fell satisfaction for all the injury that
bed been does to lie crops by the hoods sting over the
farm. it was deopeoved that he a:reseed his satisfaction
at Mr. Ifirkbeck having taken his shooting, sad said he
thoeght he was the right man, and he should de all is his
power to give hi sport. With regard to the plea et leave
and lions*, it wee distinctly proved that the plaintiff had
repeatedly said that the defendant might tam down any
quantity of rabbits heOsand, and is fad upon ovary point
of imponanee the evidence of the plaintiff wee flatly con.
tradicted by unimpeachable testimon.
The Lord Chief JOI•SiOe haeieg briefly summed up, the
jail immediately returned a verdict for the defendant.
This case concluded the bashing of the Horne Circuit.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. .

OLD COURT.

(Belem the itecerder.)
Will um Shepherd ma indicted far feloniously smashing
Clareithe Shepherd, his wife, with intuit to do bar grievous
bodily harm.
The primser win mulefeoded by counsel, but Mr. Platt
&named for the prosecution and stated the facie of the
case to be, that ea the evening of Saturday. the 14th ult.. the
primer mem home tipsy, ori which his wife upbraided him,
sereashed lir face, sad pulled his hair. A 9187=10 sussed
betimes these whale the prisoner woe taking his supper,
basis. a knife and fork is his heed. At the previous in-
quiries Wore the magistrate by whom the prisoner bad
bees oommitted for trial, the prommtrix had swore that the
prlseeer took up the Melte sad deliberately stabbed her in
1.120 fore part of the arm, indicting a serious injury. Under
them cironmstances the prisoner had bees committed far
. . . . .

The pronentrix, on being called and sworn, admitted
that she had attacked the primmer o his return home on
the night is questsea, sad cm her oath declared that she
believed the injuries she had sustained were not the result
of design but accident.
The iteoorder put it to Mr. Daly whether after this
evidence he could go cm with the MO for the ptoesoation.
Mr. Daly replied that the proaccutrix had given a very
differeet account of the traneaction when examined at the
policoneare, and that version be believed he should be able
to cenobourate by independent witnesses.
The awarder remarked that the case against the prisoner
must be established by evidence adduced before the jury,
and not from anything that may have transpired elsewhere.
After the desiandien of the presseutriz the ease came
to this, that the wife wee sow to be believed in
the statement that her injuries were the revolt of accident,
in whin are the primmer would be entitled to as acquittal;
sad in the seat point of view, the one would be that the
proneatrix bevies sworn one Meng beton the coeunitting
magistrate sad 'mother is this court, she was to be held to
be userssihy of belief. In either cue, therefore, the pri-
soner wee entitled to a verdict of sot guilty.
User the direction of the court the jury returned a
vowed of Not Guilty, and the prisoner, after a wholesome
from the ins removed from the bar.
Adoesni lifesjor, a little , stated to be only 11 years of

Mr. Daly appeared for the prosecution, sod at one men-

primmer was a well-conducted, quiet, and inoffensive lad,
and was one of the last that would be guilty of a cruel or

Mr. Thomas Clements, smuts, butcher. cur,* on bit
business in the Causeway. Deptforl, wee then called, and
proved that the prisoner bad bees deserted by his parents,
and be (witness) had taken charge of him and brought him
up. The prisoner was not quite eleven years of age, and
during the whole time he had been under his are the prim.
Der had conducted himself in such a =UMW
.111 to deserve

his commendation ; that be was "0110 of the beatboys that
pomibly could be."
The Reoorder, in addressing the jury, mid that however
their sympathies and feelings might be directed towards a
deserted boy, it was the duty of the court and jury to dis-
regard those feelings. It wag clear that the prisoner bad
wounded • playfellow' but there was • total absence of
proof that the wound had been indicted with the inteution
alleged is the indictment. The court and jar), were unin-
formed as to the circumstanon under which the unfortunate
traneaction occurred. sad hence it was that the principal
part of the indictment bad not been sustained.
The *, after a brief considentiou, returned • verdict of
of unlawfully wounding, accompanied with the
strongest recommendation to mercy.
The Resorder, after an impressive address to the prisoner
ss to his future miner, sentenced him to be imprisoned in
the mol of Relegate for 14 days.
William Bullard, a respectable-looking man 'attired in
the costume of the officer, attached to the Marine Society,
wall indicted for indecently assaulting • number of females
in the Woolwich-road,

Mr. llickie conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Sleigh de-
feuded the prisoner.
The charges in this case were peculiar. It seemed that
for some time past a miscreant had been in the habit of
infesting the Woolwich.road late in the evening, and of
aseardting most iodeoeetly the respectable females that
might happen to be pasoag The onslaught upon them
consisted of mat ind • . swage, turning their mai-
oats over their heads, and other equally offealve wadi-
gacien That these practices had been perpetrated by
some miscreant was not disputed, and the simple ques-
tion was whether or not the prisoner was the offender.
Several of the females who had been unbolted described
the aggressor as wearing a sailor's dues, but only two swore
to the identity of the prisoner.
The defence, ably opened by Mr. Sleigh, was that there
was a mistake in the identity of the prisoner, as would, be
believed, be proved by evidence showing that he was else-
where at the time theme various assaults bad been com-
mitted.

For the defence several respeatable witnesses were
called, who proved that the primmer bad for some
years held the appointment of boatswain's mate in the
berries el the Menne Society on board the Ware**,
elf Woolwich, that he had served with good ocatinot eeM.

which had come into his hands as agent for the Friend-in-
Need Life Insurance and Sick Fund Friendly Society." was

and to hard labour for 18 Wender months.
NEW COURT.
(Before the Common Serjeant).
Joseph Ward, 19, pleaded (aft to two iodictmenta, one
for embezzlement, and the other for larceny.
It appeared that the prisoner had been for the epees of
two years ad a half in the service of the promeeten,
11.1,:5y, Son, and Hewitt, of Dorset-street, Portman-
sq cattle medicine vendors, and during the atesses of
Use • partner, Mr. Hewitt, far his holidays in De-
cember lest, absconded, taking with him the mosey which
Mr. 'Hewitt had remitted him by cheque to pay the wave.
Mr. liewitt had previously banded him another sue of
=d to pay an account, and after the prisoner orb
it tweed out that he had misappropriated this
amount. To these two charges the manor pleaded
guilty, but there was a further charge against him of
forging the name of the firm to a Poet-office order, which a
easterner had sent in payment of a medicine chest. This
01•14. however, was sot proceeded with.
NI Orridge was heard on the part of the prosecution, and
Mr. Kent for the prisoner.
The Common Serpent thereupon sentenced the prisoner
to eighteen menthe inprisomment.
Parsons, 40, labourer, was indicted for stealing
36 yenta of shepherds'au4s,valne W., the property of W m.

The Jury found him Guilty.
It was thee proved that he had been in custody for similar
roliberies many times hiring the last few years.
The Common Serjeant sentenced him to six years' penal
737de`i Ryan, alias Wright, 41, carpenter, pleaded guilty
to an indictment charging him with feloniously marrying
Catherine Condon during the life of Susan, his wife.
It appeared that the prisoner had not only contracted a
marriage with the proemutrix during the life of his first
wife, but had afterwards induced a young woman to leave
her situation and marry him. Both came forward and
made a statement to the court of the cruel sad heartless
mentor in which they had bete treated by the prisoner,
who 'would mom to Dave made it a practice to lactose those
poor women who had scraped together a few mends to

been spent
aZiejriarrner aggravated the offence with which be was
by an attempt to blacken the character of the third
wife but it turned out that she was more to be considered
his victim than as erring for herself.
The Common Serjeant took these facts into consideration,
and, After severely admonishing the prisoner for his winds.
dames attempt to blacken the characters of those be had
injuned, sentenced him to eve years penal servitude.
Thaws Wolloses, 34, surgical instrument maker, was
Witted for feloniously receiving one piece of oil silk, 39
catheters, and other goods, the property of David L
Mr Metcalfe prosecuted ; and Mr. G.ffard and Mr. Kamp
defended.
This was a case which arose ant of a prosecution at this
court last session, when two men named Petite and Bresnan
were charged with robbing the prosecutor, their employer,
who carries on the business of a dealer in surgical instro-
mink upon Snow-hill. It will be recollected that the
polies watched those two men (who were convicted) coming
from their master's premises with his property in their
•poserwa. The coostabks followed one of the parties to
the house of the prisoner, who deals in articles connected
with surgery, occupying premises in Tottenham-court-rod,
and there found a quantity of property which the prosecutor
pow claimed as being his, and never having been sold. He
was upon Uns

FM the defence witnesses were called to show that por-
Mom of the property claimed by the prosecutor as having
been made by his workmen were in point of fact made and
sold by them to the defendant, and that tome portions of
the property so claimed had been in the prisoner's stock for
the lest four years.
Experts were under ezainication to prove this state of
facts when the court rase, and the case was accordingly d-
* armed.

THIRD COURT.
(Before Mr. Commiasioner Karr.)
Sequi, 32, cook, was indicted for unlawfully wounding one
Aliqui.
Mr. Langford defended.
It will be remembered that this prisoner was tried last
session on • clarge of murdering the deceased, who was also
a Chinaman. The jury then acquitted him, and he was de-
tained in consequence of his admission that he hod struck
the deceased with the knife on the shoulder, when a
slight wound was found.
The learned counsel °outmoded that there was not suffi-
cient evidence to convict, sad the jury returned • verdict
of Not Guilty.
John Odin Simpson, 30, labourer was indicted for •
burglary in the dwelling house of William Skelton.
r. Oeridge prosecuted, and Mr. Kemp and Mr. lazien
defended.
It appeared from the evidence of Jane Yates that oaths
night of the burglary at the premises of the priasessior,
who was a bootmaker carrying on business hi
the Mile-end-road, the prisoner came to her bun
band (now a convict under sentence of penal servitude)
sod offered to him for sale a quantity ei
kid skins and boots which bad been stolen from the permea-
tes. She also gave evidence of the prisoner being an meow-
plias of the gang of thieves wbo at the cisme of the autumn
et last year created eo much consternation in the suburbs
by their extensive and successful robberies. The witnees
herself, it will be recollected, was tried for her participation
in the robberies by disposing of the property ; she was, how.
ever, acquitted, and her husband subsequently convicted m
the chief receiver. During the evidence given by this wit-
, nen, she was asked whether she knew the names of the
men she had seen in company with the prisoner at her hus-
band's house dealing with this stolen property, and after
some hesitation she admitted that she did, aria that Gee
named Everett, who had retained the swipes rd Mr.

net for the different classes of robberies, such as parlour

residenoe of Mr. Bewley, the manager of the Crystal Palace.
He also knew Everett, who need to acme to his placer to see
whether he had got anything for him, and had assisted him
in pawning some of tha stolen goods. Upon one commie° he
and his wife and daughter went with him about some
"Dickers."
The Commissioner inquired what that meant.

The witness acid cheese•.
After come farther evidence of a similar character other
witnesses were called, who earroborated the statements not
only of the convict, but of hie wife, in every particular ;
and one of them, a Mr. Dallimore, residing near the prose-
cutor's premises, positively more to the prisoner, who came
up to the house which bid been robbed shortly after it bad
taken place.
For the defence an alibi wu set op.
Mr. Orridge having replied,
The Commissioner summed up, and the jury immediately
returned a verdict of Guar.
The prisoner declared, and called his God to witness, that
he was innocent, and that the charge was tromped up by the
woman Yates out of revenge for his having appeared against
her husband.
The Commissioner said he entirely °OCCURS& in the
verdict of the jury.
The prisoner said, that although his story was not be-
lieved below, it would be in heaven.
The Commissioner, in passing sentence, said it was order
to turn such a man uhe loose noon the world. He had
been the leader and prime mover in all these robberies, and
he should therefore order him to be kepi in penal units&
for the remainder of his life.
The court then directed that the constable who had

parties before the City magistrate on the following morn-
