proposed we should go to Candwell's. I raised no objec-
tion to the proposition ; neither did Ramped, nor Barton.
It was the hest visit I made to Csudwell'•. We only went
to throw the cannons into the Isis for a little amusement.

have not hero in the habit of going out on these ex-
ploits. When I was at Bromley, I and some others went
and pulled down an innkeeper * sign, and we aftcrwatds
gave him two guineas as compensation Cue the damage.
Christopher Ilaggard, soother member of the Univenity,
was called and said that after Rom had been taken boom
and pintail under surgical treatment, he and Arnaud re-
turned to Candwell's house and recommenced the attack by
dinging stones at the bedroom window. A second shot was
find, but they were out of the reach of it.
Crone-examined by Mr. Iludillestone—The stones might
have been as large as an inkstand. They were a " comfort-
able" size to ding at a window. (Laughter.) Both of
them were quite indifferent as to whether stones hit Mr.
Caudwell or any of his family.
Two of the University police were examined, both of
whom swore that Coudwell told them his house had been
attacked by University men, and he shot at the hand of
one of them and had hurt him.
Mr. Hansard, surgeon, stated that when called to see Mr.
Rees he found him suffering from a severe gun-shot wound
in the right hood. Sir Benjamin Brodie happened to be in
Oxford at the time, and he was called in to see him. For
some time be was afraid Mr. Rose's hand should be am-
putated. It had, however, got better, and he thought after
a time he might recover its use.
Mr. Pigott having addressed the jury for the prisoner,
Mr. Justice Erle summed up.
The jary deliberated fur nearly half an hour, and then
returned a verdict of Not yuilly, which was received with
applause in the court.
The ease of conspiracy against Mr. Caudwell was by con-
sent made a recianet for the next amino, and the charge of
perjury is to be traversed.

BURGLARY wag VioLemes.
Thomas Ash, described as a smith by trade, aged 26, was
charged with having broken intoned entered the dwelling-
house of W. Tucker, and with having wounded him and
one Anne Whittaker, with intent to murder them.
The prosecutor, aged 92, is one of the vergers of St.
George's Chapel, Windsor, and resides at Clarence-crescent,
in that town. On the night of Tuesday the 18th Feb., he had
retired to rest, as usual, at nine o'clock. In the apartment
in which he slept his housekeeper (Mrs. Whittaker, an old
woman of 72) occupied a bed, en order that she might be
able to render assistance to the old man in case of sudden

indisposition. About half-past one o'clock Mrs. Whittaker
was awakened by the entrance of a man, and on jumping out
of bed she perceived there was a light in the passage leading
to the room. Before she could speak to the intruder, or call for
assistanee, she was struck several times over the head with a
blunt iron instrument; her eyes were suffused with blood,
and she felt great pain in one of her arias, which afterwards
proved to be broken. The old man Tucker was awakened
by this disturbance, and, hastening to the assistance of his
housekeeper, was attacked by the burglar, and struck vio-
lently over the head. Notwithstanding the repeated blows
and ill-usage which he received, he managed to push the
assailant out of the room. All this time a man was stand-
ing at the door with a lighted candle. The old man was
n itn to hin
tiwvethatt the prisoner,
having Thomas

;wahti
(who was
house,
and ou one occasion employed in fitting up a grate there),
was the man who struck him, and denied that he had ever,
so far as he knew, given a different account of the transac-
tion. Whilst Tucker was struggling with the robber, his
housekeeper made her way to the window, and shouted
" Murder" and " Police," upon which both the men made
off.

In addition to the direct evidence of the old man, who
spoke positively to the identity of the prisoner, the follow-
ing facts also appeared in evidence : On the morning after
the robbery a bricklayer's chisel was found about 100 yards
from Mr. Tucker's house, in an adjoining garden. This
chisel, which belonged to a bricklayer named Poithey, had
been borrowed by the prisoner of a man named Prince,
with whom he lodged, a short time before the robbery. In
Mr. Tucker's house a wine-bin had been broken open, and
the marks on the wooden fastening of the door appeared to
have been made. by this and, on comparison, corres-
ponded with it. Ch 2 the night of the robbery the prisoner
came home about two o'clock, and was let in by his land-
lord Prince. In addition to these facts it was found that
the prisoner's shoes corresponded exactly with footmarks in
some fresh dug ground under the window of Mr. Tucker's
house, which had been entered on the night of the robbery.
Conversations were also deposed to, which tended to fasten
suspicion on the prisoner.
Mr. Baron Martin having summed up,
The jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Guilty.
The prisoner was sentenced to be transported for the term
of his natural life.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT.-BEDFOIW, WWNEBDAT.

Mr. Justice Cromwell opened the Cron Court. There
was no Nisi Prins business, and the calendar being short,
the second court was not opened.
The learned Judge in charging this grand jury, com-
mented upon the frequency of the terrible crime of arum
in this district.

AMON THROUGH DIC

Joh,' Einmertos, an agricultural labourer, of Stanbridge,
was indicted for anon. It appeared that prisoner was in
love with a young woman, and had put up the banns, but
some relation interfered and the marriage was set aside.
He was in a very perturbed state of mind, and went WRY
the country to the parish of Staubridge, where he delibe-
rately set fire to Mr. Olney's barn. He then went to
supper, after which he went down to the rickyard of Mr.
Franklin and put a light in a rick. Having so done he
went to Mr. Eildin's and gave en alarm. He said he wu
tempted to commit the offence he was charged with because
he could nut get married to Itelxma King. On being ar-
raigned the prisoner plculd guilty. The facts above given
appeared from the voluntary statement of the prisoner made
to the superintendent of police.
The court sentenced him to be transported for ten years.
ARSON AT LUTON.

Thomas Dumpleton, 51, was charged with setting fire to
a stack of wheat the property of Elizabeth Crawley, at
Lawn. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to be
transported for ten years.
Thomas i;oentr, a labourer, wu also found guilty of arson,
and transported for ten years.

BUILOLAKY WITH VIOLENCE.
N. Fork, aged 36, and W. Morris, aged 31, were in-
dicted for burglariously entering the dwelliug-house of
Thomas Willow, at Little Stoughton, and stealing there-
from two shawls, five guinea pieces, two sovereigns, a watch,
and some pork, on the lith of Feb. last.
The prosecutor is 87 years of age. Till within three weeks
of the burglary hu was up and about, but at that time he
I took to his bed, where he has since remained. Being alone
in the world, and unprovided with either relative or servant,
• kind neighbour by name Hannah Caress, used to attend
upon him. On thei night of the 17th Feb., she put the old
gentleman to bed, and locked his outer door, as was her
habit, and took away the key. On the following morn-
ing, early, her husband found that the door wee ajar, and
on going to the old inan's bedside, learned from him that in
the middle of the night three men entered, his bed-room,
one of whom went through the idle precaution of lying down
on the invalid to keep lulu quiet after giving him a black
eye, while the two others, who bad cabbage nets over their
faces, took his watch from his pillow and ransacked his
drawers, which done, they all decamped, threatening the
frightened octogenarian with violence if he dared to get up
anal follow them ur alarm his neighbours.
The other witnesses in the case showed that the pri-
soners and another man, since convicted fur hone stealing,
had disposed of the shawls at a house at St. lies, on the
day after the robbery, while they both, on the occasion of
their recent capture at Northampton fair, made state-
ments tending to implicate themselves in the affair. Even.
tnally, the prisoners were both found gui.ty, whereupon his
lordship sentenced them to be severally transported for ten
years.

disprove this statement, tvotimomy 'll soldneed to show
that the prisoners wore in the neighbourhood of Alooking-
ton just before the burglary was committed. The prose-
cutrix identified Waterhouse, but she could not speak as to
Milner.
