Woolwich this day from her trial trip to the Maplin Sands,
tinder the superintendence of Mr. Frickett, inspector of
machinery at the steam factory department ; Staff Corn.
wander Luke, R.N., and other officers. The result of the
trip was entirely satisfactory, as the Enterprise proved
fully up to the mark when tested under mil or under steam.
She had on board a party of 50 semen from the Fisgard
&phi!). In ociseequerice of the small size of the vessel and
the weight of bar iron sides she shipped some water for-
ward, but on the whole behaved exceedingly well, and a
speed was easily attained of 10g knots per hour.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME ClRCUlT.—Kuasrox, MiacH 29.

The oommiseion for the county of &army was opened on
Monday, sad both warts sat yesterday at 12 o'clock to dis-
pose of the business, the Lord Chief Bane presiding on the
Crown side and Chief Justice Erie in the Civil Court.
There are 28 prisoners for trial, but nearly all the cases
to be of an unimportant character. On the civil
:I=ighty causes are sauteed for trial, about thirty of
which will be tried by special juries.
Chief Justice Erle took his seat in the nisi prius court at
the time appointed, but to his great astonishment he
found that, although there was so much business appa-
rently, to be disposed of, not • single case was ready for
trial. This arose from an arrangement being carried out
which was first tried at the last summer wises, the
intended object of which was to save expense to the suitors,
but which only partially succeeded in that respect, and on
the present occasion, as at Croydon, was productive of
great inconvenience in others. The arrangement referred
to was that only the first twenty causes should be in the
first day's list for trial, but it turned out that nearly the
whole of this number were special jury cases, and
the intermediate common juries having been with-
drawn the consequence was that there was
nothing to do. After waiting for some time in
the hope that some case might be ready, the Lord Chief
Justice the court until this (Tuesday) morning at
nine o'clock. Such an occurrence as this is not within the
recollection of anyone connected with the circuit, and it is
expected that the loss of tinie and incoovenience created by
it will have the effect of inducing the judge* to revert to the
old system which prevails upon every other circuit, under
which all parties having causes to try are bound to be reedy
to try them at any time whoa they are called on in their
order.

Ciowit COCK'.—(Before the Lord Chief Boron.)
PRIMIDIVO TOR CIIIIMILLLS.

Walter Toplosui, 14, OCOIVC Med, 11, Walter Pertina,
14, and Alfred Stroud, 13, pleaded guilty to au indictment
charging them with burglary and stealing certain property
at Richmond.

The prisoners Tophara, Med, Perkins, and a boy named
Edgard YOU 140, aged 15, also pleaded guilty to a second
charge of stealing a sheep.
The Lord Chief Baron, in passing sentence, said be
thought the beet thing be could do with the prisoners, hay-
fog regard to their age, one of them being, as he aeons:,
only eleven years old, was to rood them to a reformatory,
where they would be educated, and would be taught some
means of obtaining their livelihood, and thus, possibly,
might become good members of society. Be then sentenced
them to one month's imprisonment and hard labour, end
afterwards to be kept in a reformatory for three years.
John Fry, 19, brickmidcer, was charged with stealing
some articles of wearing append and AO4 in money, the pto-
pert, of Charles Minuet.
Mr. Pearce prosecuted; the prisoner was defended by
Mr. Lilly.
The prosecutor in this case keeps a small public-house
called the Griffin, at Cleygate. near Thames Ditton, and it
appeared that the prisoner had lodged in the house for some
time prior to the 2nd of March. the dayou which the robbery
in question was alleged to hays been committed, and also
that an improper intimacy existed between the prisoner and
the prosecutor's wife, a woman nearly 30 years of age and
the mother of several children. It appeared that ow the
evening of the 2nd of March the prosecutor's wife left her
husband's house, talus with her • considerable quantity of
wearing apparel and about eighty pounds in gold and bank
Dotes, and on the 20th of the same month the prosecutor
discovered his wife and the prisoner at Islewortb, where
they had taken an apartment and represented themselves
to be married. It seemed they were in bed together when
the prosecutor went into the room, and he accosted the
prisoner and said be believed that he had gotsomething there
that belonged to him, and he replied that he had not, but
upon searching the room the prosecutor found • number of
articles that had been taken away by his wife, and in • cup-
board he found 594 of his money, the rest having been ex-
pended by the culprits in the purchase of furniture and other
things to make themselves comfortable.

Ti's prosecutor, in answer to questions that were pat to
him by Mr. Tilley, stated that upon one occesiora, while the
prisoner was lodging at hie house he caught him in bed with
his wife, but be said that his wife told him he had better
not make a noise about it. and advised him to get rid of
the prisoner as soon as he could. (A laugh.) He also
stated that the prisoner was in his debt '2l. for board and
lodging at the time he ran away with his wife.
The Lord Chief Haron, ►t the close of the case for the
promoution, said rt appeared to him that there was not
sufficient evidence to convict the prisoner. A wife could not
in law rob her husband, and there was nothing in the pre-
sent case to show that the woman had not taken the money
and the other property herself, and the prisoner was not
proved so have dealt with any portion of it. He bad, no
doubt, acted most immorally and improperly, bat be ought
not on that account to be punished for an offence of which
he was not guilty, and he was of opinion that he ought to
be acquitted on the present charge.
The jury, therefore, returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
o positi►e arrangements have let been made with regard
to theapecial jury case', but it is understood that none of
them will be taken before Thursday.

NORFOLK. CIRCUIT.—Brrty Sr. Emit-zips,
MARCH 28.
(Before the Lord Chief Justice Cockbero.)

Leitia Newman, who had been convicted on Friday of
an attempt to poison, and sentenced to petal certitude, was
placed in the dock, and his lordship observed that he had
been considering her case, and that as she bad received con-
siderable provocation he should reduce her seeteooe to 20
yams penal servitude, and that probably if she conducted
herself properly, a portion of that would be remitted.

him, calling out "Stop thief," and she saw bin captured
by one of the porters, who took him to the inspector's office,
sod then he was given into custody.
Mr. Woolrych salted the prisooer what he had to say in
'sewer to the charge ?
He replied that he bad certainly been drinking at
Brighton, and got out of the carriage ha left in at Three
Bridges. In returning to the train, he got into the com-
partment where the prommitrix was, and all he did was to
remove her crinoline from him. He denied acting indecently
towards her. .

Mr. Woolrych told him that he had no reason to disbe-
lieve the evideoceof the proacentril, which she had given in
as clear and modest a manner as possible, and that, coupled
with his own statements to the gentleman sod officers, con-
vinced him of his guilt. It was • disgraceful thing that
respectable women could not travel on railways unprotected
by male companions without being insulted and indecently
attacked by half-drunken men. He sentenced him to Ms
weeks' hard labour in Waisclaworth Hones of Correction.

The prisoner begged his worship Dot to send him to prison,
u it would ruin him for life.

itir:it'ooiry;h7olThra he could not help that. Be
should have thought of that before.

THAMES.

Amelia Bull, a girl about 15 years of age, was brought
before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing two half-crowns
from • woman named Elizabeth Cam, the wife of William
Cam, of No. 7, George-street, Liniehoase.
The prolocutor was at • shop in Market-street, Stepney.
on Saturday last, making SAW purchases. The pri-
soner was standing close to her on the right side, and was
bargaining with the shopkeeper for • chemise. When Mrs.
Carrs reached home she missed two balf.crowns from her
purse. The woman was astounded. She had not missed
her purse in the shop, nor bad she felt soy hand in her
pocket. There was some other silver in her purse which
was not touched. The prisoner would most probably have
remained undiscovered if she had not boasted to some of her
girlish acquaintances that she bad taken • parse out of •
lady's pocket in • haberdaeher's shop oa Saturday night,
stolen Ss. from it, and returned it to the lady's pocket spin
without her discovering her lees. The primmer's boasting,
came to the knowledge of Mr. and Mrs. Cam, and they gave
information to the police. The 'risme. was arrested by
Wm. Paple, a poline-elsestable, !so. 288 K, at the house

her parents in Wlute Hone-street, Stepney. She admitted
having stolen the two half-crowns, and said she had spent
21. of the money and returned 3a. to the constable.
The constable said the prisoner was a most dexterous
young thief, and repeated complaints had been made at the
station by people who had been robbed by her, but who did
not like to prosecute her on amount of her tender years.
She robbed her father some time ago of two sovereigns, and
was brought before Mr. Woolrycb, who admonished her,
and, at the solicitation of her father, discharged her. She
then made the most solemn promises of amendment, but she
bad committed many robberies since.
The prisoner—Please your worship, if you will let me go,
I will not do so any more.
Mr. Paget said unfortunately the prisoner's promises
were worth nothing. She was a dangerous girl, and too
artful in wickedness' to be at large. He would consider
what was to be done with her. At present she would be
remanded for a week.
