LANDS our amps.
This information was filed by the Attorney.deneral, to set
aside a long lease of some charity land situate is the parish
of St. Saviour, Norwich, which belonged to the parish of St.
Andrew in the same city. The land was acquired under the
will of a party who died about the middle of the 16th cen-
tury, and was originally a pine of garden ground, which
the will in question devoted towards the repair" of the parish
church of St. Andrew. In the year 1699, a lease for 1,000
years of the lead was ranted to one John Copping, by
certain persona entrusted for that purpose by the panels of
St. Andrew. The Woe was to expend SOU inbuilding
a house oe h men within four years, and he was
to keep the buildings in repair, and pay a rent of 101. a
year. The buildings were erected, and the 101. rent was
always paid to the churchwardens of the parish. The pro-
perty had pawed through many owners, and was much in-
anued in value, and was now vested in the defendant
aeld * *s churchwardens of St. Andrew's, who were
allottollogiante.--Neurs. Turner and Rogue supported the
tabersdra, and autesded that the lam was a mat be;
Iffairentiow, mad ought to be set aside.—Mesas.
slsn&llasirp agpoared:for the defendants beneficially

Masies of the Bons thought the lease could not be
supported, and he ordered it to be set aside, and the defen-
dants to pay the coats of the suit.

.1. Smith, aged 23, a wretched-looking object, was indicted
for the wilful murder of Eleanor Lawrence, at CoMershon=
Dads, en the 9th of August last.
Mary Armen deposed—Eleanor Lawrence lived with me.
On Wednesday, Aug. 9, at 12 o'clock, she came to me in
Mr. Pike's reaping field, with my dinner. She stayed with
me 20 minutes. She then returned towardieollingbourn.
In about an hour and a half I was called. I went along the
field to the tunnike-road, where I saw Lawrence lying on
the road with the blood running from her head. Her bonnet
was off, and she was inesadble. Site wee conveyed home.
I saw her until her death, which took pleas on Friday morn-
ink at 10 o'clock. She was 34 years of age.
TM Rev. G. Hadow, curate of Everleigh, deposed—l live
about half a mile from the Crown Ina, at a lone house.
About two o'clock that day the prisoner at my houm
and asked for work. He appeared much excited, and was
breathing hard. I asked what was the matter, but he made
no answer. He had been rustling very hard. He imaged'•
ately hurled two stones at are, aid wounded me in two places.
I rushed into my study, as I thought I was going to be
murdered. I went out again, but he was gone. I ordered
a man to go in*pursult of him. I took my hone, and rods into
the Devises road. I soon came up with the prisoner, who
was coming back. He said, " I suppose you want me ?"
and pulled a otos. out of his pocket, and throw at me. He
hit me three times, and then ran away. Woodruff, atoluinz
servant Mortimer came up, and we pursued himt and secure
him. I asked him Übe had intended to murder met and
he said, " Yes, I did not care what I did." Woodruff'
&skalds if he wee not ashamed of himself ? He said. " No,

for I have committed a murder already to-day." I asked
him where ? and be said, " You will seen bear of it."
John Stagg deposed : I had the prisoner in custody on the
10th of Aurast for the assault on Mr. Hadow. Barry cues

relative to a woman who was found beaten near Calling.
bourn. The prisoner said, " I knocked her down.
I did not ravish her. I met the woman on the read, and
threw a stone at her and knocked her down. I then kicked
her about the head and ran away. If I had not gone to the
parson's house 1 might have been some miles suit. If you
had asked me I should have said the woman was dead."
I asked what woman, but to that he made no answer. He
subsequently said, " It was my own tongue that dons me."
Musket, which was found near the scene of the murder,
was proved to be one similar to that worn by the prisoner,
who acknowledged it to be
Geo. Andrews deposed— I am 'upon of the scanty pol,
whets the prisoner has bean since lest August. He has
been in a sane state of mind, and has a perfect knowledge of
right and wrong.
Crowelareined—l have seen the prisoner about twice or
thrice a week. A person may be in a sue state at one time
and mad at another. That is called monomania. It is only
dimming when the particular subject upon wish* there is •
delusion is acted upon. A person may be perfectly collected
until the delusion is brought forward. At the time the delu-
sion exists, a party cannot distinguish between right and
wrong. There is a dilutes called Insane impulse, the predo-
minant character of which is to commit acts of violence—a
sudden irresistible desire to destroy human life, or to commit
• theft in the higher ranks of life.
By Lord Denman—lt is never thought so in the humbler
elate of life, is h ? Witness: It is not, dly lord •, bulbs the
higher classes there can be no reason for committing theft.—
Lord Denman No desire to posses that which does not
belong to them?—Crime is committed without any discover-
able motive. Their will is not under control.

---14.exiniineci--I.hi;eneT;iniaiitiliii in the prisoner's
conduct to induce me to believe that he has bad monomania
cr instinctive madness. I have not had any personal expe-
rience of such matters, but I have read it in books.
Mr. Che Loner Smith having addressed the jury on behalf
of the risoner,
Lord Denman, in gumming up, observed that it was with
great redlines that persons made doctrines as excuses for the
worst passions. and persevered in contending that influences
were irreeirdble. He wee not aware that medical men were
mate esieble of accounting for the state of the mind than
other meow. To say that a man was irresponsible without
=pronto( any act to show he was labouring under some
seemed to him to be an assumption of knowledge
whisk ease bat the great Creator himself could possess. He
did not see anything to prove a diseased state of mind, ex-
apt the violence of the act itself ; and he could not help oh.
serving that the surgeon of the gaol had not found any symp-
toms of mental disease.
The jury consulted together for a few minutes, and then
returned a verdict of Guilty.
On being asked why sentence of death should not be
passed on him, the prisoner replied that be was innoc•nt of
the murder.—Lord Denman then passed sentence of death.
