NORFOLK CIRCIIIT.—Irswica, AUGUST 8.
CROWN Couer.—(l)ofore Mr. Berea Bramwell.)

Banat! Wales, an elderly assn described 's a higgler, was
tetagwith stealing 167 piteseanbe eggs, the properly of
re of Grafton,

Mr. (*ridge was for the prosecution ; Mr. Metcalfe de-
fended the prisoner.
, The prisoner is a person travelling about selling and buy-
14thpouy' and lived at Lxworth In this county. Oa the
of April, one of the Duke's keepers had 22 been
sitting on Overate' eggs, in a abed adjoining his °
at Lapiston. These egp were safe on the night of thaellT,
but on the morning of the 15th it was found that the shed had
been broken into and 167 eggs stolen. The eggs were all
marked b 7 the keepers with gimes, &c., in order that they
might be identified if stolen, and the police, from some infor-
mation they received, went to the priecnter's house, and
there in • copper (Guild a hen sitting on 22 of then Ma
1a a bowl in a oupboard they also found • great number,
and on the policeman teking the bowl lato his hands, the
prooner'a wife made a rush at him, knocked it out of his
and jumped ookhe ma. Of course they were broken,
bet on the fragments of the shells the private marks were
visible,. leaving no doubt they ware part of these stoles.
The prisoner, when charged with the stealing, said he had
them " • few days ago from acme one." This was the only
explanation he gave.
At the dose of the ease for the peosecatiou, Mr. Metcalfe
objected that the 2ith section of the Ist and ad
IV., provided for the taking of pliesaante eggs, and imposed
a penalty, sad that proceedings should have been taken
wider that act, and Dot for larceny. The sot providing •
pecuniary penalty, showed that it was not intended to
allow these eggs to be the subject of larceny, and in the
avast of a conviction be should oak bin lordship to grant
him a cane. •

The berried Judge overruled the objection, sad le sue-
!Mug up, told the jury that these eggs were se much the
property of the Date of Grafton es would be common bee's
eggs, sad that if they • were of °plaice the praisesr bad
moire them, they moll lad him guilty.

This was an action of slander, and of • most painful
character, the plaintiff's daughter being the wife of the
defendant. They were married in 1845. end had two
children—a girl and • boy. In DM they separated, the
defendant labonriog under the delusion that his wife
had behaved in the wickedest manner with the plaintiff.
From tuns to time be had made accusations and seat by
post drawings of a most indecent character, reflecting upon
his wife and the plaiotiff. After the examination of the
plaintiff, the counsel on earl aide conferred, and • compro-
mise was (with difficulty) effected. A verdict was taken for

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LivzspooL, Avatrer 9.

(Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn.)
Five men, named respectively Christopher Sharpies,
James Sonia, John APDonald, iMeid Atherton, and John
Powell, were indicted yesterday for a garotte robbery at
Liverpool on the 9th June last. The victim was Mr. Wil.
Ham Lawreace, a clerk, who was on his way home from a
meeting at the Concert-hall, Lord Neleon-street. when he
was marled by several men, garotted, and robbed. Mr.
Lawrence swore to Sharpies as the man who had seized him,
and Smith was apprehended whilst musing away from the
spot. An iron marling spike with which Lawrence had been
struck on the head, rolled from Smith's pocket when he
wee running away. All the primates were felled
Guilty, bat as M•Dcreald, Atherton, and Powell had sot
taken so prominent a part is the outrage, they ware sen-
tenced to 10 years' penal servitude each, while Sharpies was
sentenced to 15 and Smith to 12 years petrel servitude.
His Lordship, in passim sentence, mid—Men who
went to commit garotte robberies, careless of what violence
they used or what injury they did, were, for the most
part, as cowardly as they were rtffiaaly and ferocious ;
end the only thing that would take effect upon them was
corporal punishment sad bodily mitering. They might
depend upon it that that punishment would be ap-
plied ; and if there was anybody in court who had say-
thing to do with these gangs of thieves and robbers who
infested the streets, it was well they should know that the
law allowed the iorlictios of the lash to • moth greeter ex-
tent than he was about to inflict, and if it should be ewer
sary to resort to the full measure of the severity of the law.
it should be done. No mercy would be shown to men who
committed oilman of this kind. The sentence upon the
two orisoaers, in addition to their tarns of impriannotart,
was that they should each receive, that day fortnight, 25
babes with the cat-e.ninatada on their bare backs. With
regard tot/mother three prisoners, there was no evidence that
they had had about them any instruments for violence, and
there was greater doubt about them. The sentence epos
them was, that they he kept to penal servitude for ten
pars.
The prisoners appeared to be completely astonished, sad
Sharpies and Smith were apparently terrified by the severity
of the sentence peened upon them. A very painful scene
occurred amonuet the friends of the prisoners, in the body
of the court. When sections", was pared ups Sharpie", aa
elderly woman uttered a shrill cry, and a:darned. •'Oh,
merciful Lord ! be's my soa !" She was at once removed
from the court ; sad when the other prisoners were am-
termed, two or three other wanes, who were similarly
affected, had also to be removed. The prisoners said
nothieg, but walked from the dock with the aspect of men
stunned.

To-day another case d protte robbery was disposed of,
Wm. Courtestay being sentenced to six years' penal servi-
tude sod 121451ns with the at-o'•eiee•tafe for pretties
end robbing Joseph Cooper, of Warrington, who wee in
Liverpool on the 27th el July last.
