opened for the despot* of tuneless, Chief Justice Wilds
presiding on the Civil side end Mr. Justice Mauls in the
Crown Court. In consequence of the magistrates not holding
an adjourned quarter sessions before the asehis, which is
usually dace in every other county, the number of prisoners
for trial is very large, there being no less than 155 already
on the calendar ; and there will be further commitments be-
fore the grand juay are discharged. The charges, however,
are el the ordinary character, with very few exceptions, and
the great majority of them might have been disposed of if an
adjourned quarter session had been held. In the cause list
18 eases are eat down for trial, four of which are special jury
cues. The Chief Justice disposed of three common jury
eases, sad several prisoners were tried in the Crown court,

BURGLARY AND BUIGaRGUS ATTACK UPON TIM
INftersa.
Samuel Bates, a young man of respectable appearance,
aged 18, was indicted for breaking and entering the house of
William Vym, at Hanky, in the parish of Stoke-upon-
Treat, and cutting and wounding the said William \ryes,
Mary Yrs, and Samuel Mountford, with intent to kill or do
them same grievous bodily harm.
Mary Bradshaw Vyse, wife of the prosecutor, stated th-q
she had retired to rest with her husband a little after 12
o'clock on the night of the 6th of October last, when she
heard a noise below in the yard, and upon calling out to
know who was there the prisoner informed her that he had
seen three men jump over the wall of the yard, ard recom-
mended her to look to the doors and windows. She knew
the prisoner's voice, as be wee the son of • neighbour and
had often been in the house, and, after thanking him, she
went down stairs and found all was safe. Half an hour after-
wards she was again di.tcrbed by • noise resembling the
breskiag of • window. She immediately got up and went
down stairs in the dark, and, on opening the door
at the bottom of the stairs, was cut on the throat
with some sharp instrument, a portion of flesh
being cut away from the chin to the throat,
The prosecutor, an elderly man, billowed by his nephew,
Samuel Mountford, had by this time reached the door, and
the former rushed between his wife and her assailant, when
he received a severe cat in the face. In struggliog with the
man the prosecutor took a cap from his head and placed it in
the bosom of his 'shirt, when he received another severe
wound across the neck, also others on the shoulder, side,
and across the fingenof the right hand, numbering altogether
ten. Mountford was also severely wounded on the cheek,
the flesh being severed from the cheek bone down to the
month. Whilst this was going on Mrs. Vyse ran to the
outer doer, and raised an alarm for assistance, when
the man rushed peat her, and made his ems e, followed
by Mountford, who, however, tailed to overtake him.
MOT medical aid had been procured the cap was examined,
and, suspicion falling upon the prisoner, Mountford went to
hie father's house, about fifty yards distant, and, on inquiring
whether he was at home, was glowered in the negative.
Evidence was produced to prove that the prisoner had a
few weeks before bought a razor from a cutler, and on the
previoustt night had exhibited a stick, which was found at the
of the stairs in the prosecutor's house. Ab out two
o'clock the same morning, the prisoner went to the house of
a person named Hater, at Shelton, sad inquired whether he
would let him lay in the houseplants until morning.
Hater at first refused, but afterwards came down Main and
let him in. Between seven and eight o'clock the same
meewing, the prisoner called Qatar up, and requested him to
Isad him a coat and asp, and having obtained these he left
the Muse. During the morning the wife of Oster found in
the ab‘kole underneath the grate • ran ,r with blood on it,
*Wit was produced, and which was stated to resemble the
am the prisoner bought of the cutler. After he left Hater's
boos the prisoner proceeded to the police station, and made
a eimplaint that three men had beaten him during the
•Ipkt and taken his coat and cap from him, whereupon the
mot and rap found at the prosecutor's house were shown to
Ma, and be immediately owned them as those he lied lost.
A• epee gasket knife was also found at the prosecutor's
been Imre& with blood, and likewise some hair, similar in
cubes M the prisoner's, on the eeeement of the window.
The Weeny was then taken into custody, but denied
the &arr. Subeequently, however, he told Inspector
Cole that three men met him oft the night of the bur-
glary, and said they were going to break into Mr. Vs se's
bone and requested him to go with them. This he /Awed

They thew all went, and one of the men „bloke a pane of
gime iathe beck window, opened the casement, and rut one
of his sompanions through to open the doer. This being
dons they all walked in, and one of them committed the
brutal outraged above narrated.
I Mr. Haddlesten briefly cross-examined some of the wit-
WSW for the purpose of showing that nothing had been
nememcil bees the melees. The learned counsel did not
sebum the jury as behalf of the prisoner, but called two

His keithhip minutely summed up the evidence, and the
Jury inftftlediately returned a verdict of
