Caoyoos, AUGUST 7.
The began' et these makes centraeneod this morning
The number of cases set down &a* trial is 98, of which. 17
are special jury oases Mr. Baron Alderson presided on the
crown side. sad thi Chief. Barns at Mei grins.
The lassoed bum, in charging t :1 rand jury, said that
it pve him at all times great pleasure to meet the gentle-
men of the comity of Surrey, bat it did so particularly on
the present ocicasion, because, according to the rule and
custom of the kingdom, be was entitled to a pair of white
gloves, by reason of there not being any capital charge on
the calendar. This fact was very satisfactory to him, and
at the same Limn most creditable to the county, for nothing
was more desirable than that the criminal calendar of
every county should exhibit an absence of charges of a
heinous and capital character. Upon the present occasion it
was gratifying to nee that the calendar wu very light, and
that the offences, with one or two eiceptions, were of a
trifling character, and it, therefore, be said, appeared to
him to be better, without any further observations, at once
to remit the grand jury to the performance of their duties.
The Chief Baron did not commence the civil business
until twelve o'clock, and nothing more was done during the
day auntie dispose of a portion of the undefended causes
end commence the first defended common jury case, which
at balf.past doe o'clock, was adjourned till this morning.

CMOWN COILT.—BEVOIIt CHIEF lue»ta WILD,.
ASSAULT AND ItolillSHT.
A village schoolmaster, named Woods, and a man named
Leticia, were indicted for the following assault and robbery.
It appeared that on the 27th of March, a pig-dealer,
named John Mannino, of Capel St. Mary, Suffolk, met by
appointment at the Swan Inn, Ipswich, to receive payment
fur some pigs that had been told in London. He there took
' 121. 2s. ftd and had beside five sovereigns in his parse.
Meanings afterwards left, and went to the Plough Inn at
Cape! St. Mary. At this inn was the prisoner Woods, who
was the master of the village school, sod a little alter nine
o'clock Woods left, Manning., the prosecutor, following
shortly afterwards. When the latter had come to a narrow
part of the path, on one side of which was a
hedge eight feet in height, Manning. observed Woods and
another man, and said, Gos.d night, Woods." Woods then
raided upon Manning*, and felled him to the ground with a
heavy sties k. The blow cut a hole through the prosecutor's
hat, and otherwise ie.jured him. When down he called
" Murder," when Woods, the schoolmaster, thrutt a hand-
kerchief into his mouth. Prosecutor contrived to remove
this, when Woods grasped him round the throat, and nearly
strangled him. He then celled his companies to come end
'help, which Lewii instantly did, and while the latter held Ms
head close down to the ground, Woods thrust his Muds into
hls breech's pocket and abstracted the purse, when both
took to their heels. Woods had false monetaches on, which,
however, were not torn off, bat the proaccwor contrived to
make him vary severely across the face, and to leave the
Imprimis& et his finger marks on the lower lip of the pri-
mate Weeds. Monologs instantly gave the alarm, and by
iloybeirk In the Rousing Woods was in custody, he b. log
einsely identified by the many scratches left en his face. Sub.
meant' Lewis was apprehended, sad on his house bs lug
21. 10'. in gold was Lund concealed under some
lumber. He stated that he had borrowed part ot this money
et dais resat individuals, but the persons referred to denied it.
'Several witnesses swore to havatg seen the prisoners troths!.
es the night of the robbery, and clearly pr..ved that Woods,
at all saints, was the ruffian who was the principal in the
assault. The case was afterwards brought home to Lewis by
a variety of litW circumstances.
Mt. Deject (who defended Woods) and Mr, Boleti. (who
defended Lewis) severally addressed the jury, who returned
a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners.
Woods was sentenced to ten years' transportation, and
Lewis to two years' imprisonment

WESTERN CIRCUIT.
DLVIZIN AUGUST 5.

This afternoon the eommissioa for the Wiltshire anises
was opened at the new WIZ courts by Mr. Justice Cr/At-
well, the learned judge having been met on his entrance to
the town from hridgewattr by the Walt sheriff, U P. Nis-
hett, Esq., at Southbreom, Devizes, and a handsome retinue.
The calendar (to the clearing of which the court will apply
itself to monow morning) con sins the names of 60 pnao-
nen, the offences charged simian whom are mostly of a light
nature—one only of anything like general interest standing
for trial, the ease of R-thcca Smith for poisoning her chil-
dren at Westbury. Not more than three or tour cases are
on the cease list.

NORTH WALES CIRCUIT.

CH! Tax, AUGUST 6.

The bulimia of this circuit commenced this morning. .The
commission was opened on Saturday by Mr. Justice Maul..
The calendar contains about 50 prisoners. The cause list is
unusually light.
Caows Corer.
Mr. Baron Platt, in his charge to the grand jury, com-
menced with some observations on the importance of the
office of a grand juror, and said it was an institution of the
h4thest and utmost value to the country, and though he
grieved to say there were those who thought the institution
of grand juries should be abolished, he sincerely hoped he
might never live to see the day. Such an institution afforded
that sort of protection to the innocent which it was moat de-
sirable should be retained to them, and without its interven-
tion a man would be liable to be placed at the criminal bar
and publicly charged with a grievous offence, though inno-
cent, merely to gratify the malevolence of a malicious pro-
secutor.
The trials INTO afterwards proceeded with, but meat of the
day was occupied with Mint mere.
