The jodgee of assize came from Bedford to this place,
and the Lord Chief Jusdoe opened the commission, taking
his seat in the crown court yesterday morning. There were
no cowrie, so Mr. Justice Smith assisted in trying prisoners.
The calendar was unusually beery for this small place,
and the Lord Chief Justice in his charge to the grand jozy
alluded to the serious character of three of the cases, The
cese of manslaughter, where a Mal] was charged with killing
his wife, a carious case of sheep stealing, and a charge of
_ .

Georor Cox, • shepherd, aged SO, wu charged with steal-
log twenty-one ewes, of the van* of 501, the property of '
Mr. Reynolds, a farmer, of Colon, Cambridgeshire.
Mr. Newttle Fomented, Mr. Naylor defended the primmer.
The prisoner was •shepherd r.a laud adjoining that of the
prosseutor, and the sheep in question were found in his
master's flock.. Mr. Johnson, of F.aritb, bad 92 sheep in his
charge belonging to Mr. Reynolds, and on the 6th of January
missed 24 of them. Three were (mod near the river,
two drowned. Inquiries ware made whisk resulted
in Mr. Arolen's yard being visited (Mr. Ambito
being the Fnmeer's master), and there 18 sheep belonging
to the prosecutor were found. They were marked with red
ochre, and from two these marks had been ant out. Three
more were subsequently identified, and ma these being
removed Mr. Aaphie found that he was 20 Amp short In
his flock. The case for the prosecution was that the pri-
mem having stolen or lost 20 of his master's sheep replaced
them by those taken from Mr. Reynolds.
Evidence was given that the prisoner bad been seen Dear
the latter gentleman's sheep yard, which, as we witness
said, roused him to remark to prisoner, "Yong* a long way
oat of your latitude," but as he explained that he had been
to see another gentleman's shepherd (Mr. Meetly), no
further patios was taken of the matter. When the police-
men took the prisoner into custody, be declared that all
except two belonged to his muter, and he should know
them anywhere.

The alarmist it akrpeared was cloudy iaterrogated by the
policeman, with • view evidently to use his answers agaicet

questions in regard to the charge. "It wee Ito part of the
duty of • polieeman, sod highly improper, sod NM proper
