that the same of Richard Wrightaiu, ssbseribed
thereto was a forgery ; or, if not, that the
said Richard Wrightson was incapable of making a will at
the date of the said pretested will, is coasequence of his
mind and health haying Dien weakened by excessive drink-

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Yost, JULY 11.

The commission was opened by Mr. Justice Mitigates
and Mr. Justice Cromwell. The calendar is much lighter
then usual, as regards numbers, although there are some
very serious Wieners. There are six charged with murder,
am manslaughter, and five cutting and wounding. Al
offences *guest property there are comparatively very few
cuss, which may be accounted for by the great prosperity
and abundassce of employment which prevails throughout
the manufacturing districts of this great county.
The city assizes were held this morning, but there not
being a single felon for trial, the bushels's was merely of a
formal character. There are two city causes, " Richardson,
Esq., v. Wodson," publisher of the Yorkshiremean news-
paper, for libel. Toe otherness is " Chadwick v. Coultas."
The defendant is an expelled Wesleyan local preacher.
The county assizes commenced at noon to-day (Thursday).

ALLEGED PEAJCILT AT DEWS/WET.
Th,rntw. was charged with wilful and corrupt
perjury at Dewsbury, oaths 11th of February last.
The eintuostutoes out of which the present chug.
arose were the following : Early in February lut, an in-
fornsatisn was laid before Mr. Hogue, a megistrate of the
Wit Riding, at the Dewsbury Ciort-house, against three
men named Henry Martin, John Lister, and Joseph Jack-
son, for having, on the 3rd of February, at Henroyd, tree-
paved on lands in pursuit of game, two dogs being with
then at the time. A summons was accordingly issued
against Martin, Lister, and Jackson, requiring them to ap
pest at the C tut-hours, Dewsbarv, in answer to the charge
which had been preferred against them. On the lhh day
of February, the case came on for hearing before Mr. Green-
wood and Mr. Wceatley, two magistrates, when tho
princi-
pal witness in support of the informaticn was the di Pendant
William Thornton, gamekeeper to a gentleman named Ing-
ham, who resides near Dewsbury. On being duly sworn,
Thornton deposed that on Sunday, the 3rd of Februory, at a
quarter before twelve o'clock at noon, the three men, Martin, I
Lister, and Jackenn, with two snap dogs, were boot-
leg ~ whin bushes in pursuit of game. He seised Lister
andJarkson, sad detained them, but Martin, who was within
• few yards of him, ran off, and was followed by two or
three other men whom he did sot know. Thonstan distinctly
swore that Martin was beating the bushes in pursuit of
game, and his deposing to that feet formed the pivot the
alleged perjury.—Witnesses were called who proved that
Martin was not near Henroyd at the time, and that in point
of tact Thornton had sworn to that which he knew well to
be false. It was, however, shown on the other hand that
he mold hem ae object to serve in swearing to Martin, and
that be had been merely mistaken is his identity. Verdict-
-11 or Guilty.
Mr. Justice Wightatan sat at Nisi Prises for a short time,
disposing of three out of six causes entered for the North
and Rut Ridings. The business from this part of the county
ia, at the prawn weirs, unusually light. None of the otos
tried iavolui the slightest interest, and the court rose before
two o'clock, no ether case being ready for trial.

William Dailey, 32, and Daniel Seeley, 25, were charged
with having, on Ito 31st of March last, at Sheffield, malici-
qtt:',; thrown one pound weight ;:uirlowder, and other
exp:uiive substance. enc.. :Amu 51 a tin (Mtge, against the
dwelling-house of Wiliam Butcher, with intent to maim,
disable, or do other bodily harm to the said William Butcher.
Mr. Elias and Mr. Overead were for the prosecution;
Mr. Serjeant Waal= and Mr. Learsley appeared for the
-'sen.
Mr. Blink in stating the cue to the jury, said that the
prosecutor, Mr. William Butcher, was an extensive cutlery
manufacturer at Sheffield, having commodious yrs-
mien, and employing abaut five hundred men. The
residence of the prosecutor is situated about half-
s-mile from his place of business, and is a mansion called
the Five Oaks, which stands within one hundred yards of
the Glossop-road. On the night of Saturday, the 130-h of
March, the prosecutor and his wife retired to rest about half-
lea ten o'clock at night. The bedroom in which they
Weep is simile in front of the house, which commended a
fall view of the Glossop road. The prosecutor for the last
twenty-five years had slept in that room, sad it had been his
invariable custom to have a gas light burning during the
whole of the night. About two o'clock on Sunday morn-
ing he was awoke by the crash of a square of glass in his
bedroom window. The proneutor jumped out of bed, ex-
tinguished the light, and having drawn asi le the curtain!,
be „discovered a hand grenade, with a lighted
fuzee attached to it, laying burning upon the
bale -ny outside in front of the window. The proaecutor
desired his wife to stand on one side of the wir.dow while re
occupied the other side, in order that they might avert the
danger of the explosion which was about to take place. In
a minute or so the canister exploded with a noise as loud as
the discharge of the contents of a loaded cannon, but hap-
pily neither the prreecuter nor his wife sustained any in-
jury. The prosecutor observed that a ladder was placed
Ihplast the balcony, and it moved slightly as if soma person
was descending the steps. The alarm bell was instantly
nub and the huffy were aroused. The gardener of the
posesster speedily arrived, and the exterior of the mansion
wee awashasel. They found the ladder resting against the
balcony, together with the top of the grenade, and some
lucifer matches, which were laid on the around immediately
beneath the bedroom window. The report of the
explosion attracted the attention of a policeman
towards the scene of the outrage, and on the
road he met some men running away. The officer seized
one of them, who called out to the others " Come on, go into
him ; murder him, or we are all done." Upon this remark
being made one of the men seized the policeman by the
caller, and another went towards a gate and picked up a
atone, with which he struck the officer over the noes. A
third man hit him • blow over the shoulder, which com-
pelled him to let go his hold, and the whole nasty then made
off. The officer pursued, and whilst some of the men got
over a wall tad escaped, the prisoner Bailey went down
Spring Lau into some fields adjoining, where he was even-
tually captured. The officer returned into Spring Lane
with his charge, when they met a man, who
accosted Bailey with the remark, "Is that
thee, Bill 1 " The prisoner replied in the af-
firmative, sad said be had only been engaged In a drunken
spree. At that time, however, he was perfectly sober.
Easor was apprehended in • few days after, but the other
men remain at large. The evidence against the prisoners
showed that they had been drinking together at a beer-
house near to the prosecutor's house on the eight of the out
rags till nearly eleven o'clock. When Humor wee taken Into
custody he said, after being duly cautioned, if a free pardon
were granted to him he would tell all about the affair.
There were ether facts which brought the CM home to the
prisoners, who were both found Guilty.
Butner, deferred.
