INCENDIARY FIRE NEAR SHEFFIELD.—On Thursday
morning a wheat stack belonging to Mr. Thomas Winter,
of ittereliffe, near Sheffield, was discovered to be on fire,
but prompt measures being taken, it was extinguished
with about XlO worth of damage. While the neighbours
were assisting• in getting out the fire, two men, who were
observed close to the stack .when it first broke out, were
seen to be hanging about without rendering any assistance.
It was supposed that they had been the cause of the fire.
The men, who made no resistance or attempt at escape,
were given into custody. They proved to be John Tooney,
a ticket of leave convict, belonging to London, and George
Stokes, a notorious Sheffield character. After they were
taken into custody, Tooney admitted that they set fire to
the stack, and said they did it with the last match they
had. The only reason he could give for the act was, that'
he could get no work, and must do something ; " he couldn't
starve." The prisoners were taken before the sitting
magistrates, and committed for trial.
ATTEMPT TO MURDER A /1 USBAND.—fit the Norwich
assizes, on Wednesday, Mary Ann Reynolds, aged 47,
was charged with wounding her husband, Thomas Rey-
nolds, with intent to murder him. The prosecutor was
engaged i❑ the mackerel fishery, and his habit was, after
a successful fishing, to drink incessantly, and during these
drunken fits to abuse his wife in the most atrocious
manner. In one mad fit of drink he smashed every article
of furniture in the house, and ho had been put in prison
for his cruelty to, and desertion of, her. At last, on the
7th February, he set out from home on a drinking excer-
sion, which so enraged the prisoner, that she declared if
he came home drunk she would do for him. She went
after him late in the day, and found him drinking. He
rushed at her;and gave her a brutal blow in the face, upon
which she sprang at him, and drew a knife across his
Nee two or three times inflicting several wounds and
dividing the temporal artery, from which the blood gushed
out in a fearful flood. The wound, however, was imme-
diately attended to by thole present, and by none more
assiduously than by the prisoner herself on her return
from the yard, into which she had retired after the affray,
for the apparent purpose of burying the knife, which she
had brought from home with her, as she said, to defend
herself from her husband. The jury found her guilty of
unlawfully wounding, recommending her to mercy. Mr.
Justice Erle told the prosecutor that he acted for years
towards his patient wife like a savage brute, and he only
wished the law would render such conduct penal. As
regarded the unfortunate woman at the bar, his earnest
desire was so:to punish her for this offence as to secureiher
the:more effectually from the future violence of the brute
to whom she had allied herself by the tie of marriage, all
the obligations of which he had totally disregarded. With
this view he should sentence her to four days' imprison-
ment, so that her husband might reach home before her,
and he trusted that he would allow her to lead an
unmolested life. The result of the sentence was, that the
prisoner was discharged on Thursday _
