ASS`ZE INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTH LANCASHIRE.—LivEarooL, Ang,ngt 12.

CROWN COURT.

His Lordship, Mr. Baronliatson, took his seat on the
bench shortly before nine o'clock, and passed the fol-
lowing sentences:—
James Roberts, who pleaded guilty of burglary, at PR-
ington, on the 6.h of Jane, was sentenced to six months'
imprisonment with hard labour.

George Whitehead, aged 25, operative, and Alice
Pendle, aged 40, who pleaded guilty of having, at Todmor-
den, on the 16th April, 1857, falsely and wickedly com-
mitted perjury, in the testimony given by them on oath
before the magistrates, were called up for sentence. His
Lordship, addressing the male prisoner said, his conduct
bad been njean and despicable to a shccking degree. He
had seduced a young girl under nromise of marriage. kent
company with Fie- for iittem months, and then, wnen she
endeavoured to affiliate her child in a court
of justice, he
had not only sworn that she was stating a falsehood, but
supcened others to swear that she was guilty of perjury.
His Lordship sentenced the prisoner to two years' impri-
sonment with hard labour. Tne female prisoner his
Lordship also addressed in severe language, declaring
that for the rest of her life she ought to feel shame at
having wickedly endeavoure I to blast the character of a
girl already deeply injured, for the sake of saving her
nephew from paying two shillings a week. His Lordship
sentenced her to taeive mouths' imprisonment with hard
labour.

John Handley, aged 26, bricklayer, who pleaded guilty
of having, at Bury, on the 29th of May last, committed
wilful and corrupt perjury, was called forward. His
Lordship observed that this was another instance of per-
jury arising out of a bastardy case. The prisoner swore
that he had been with a girl when in fact he had not.
This was not a common offence in the couniy, and he was,
indeed, one of those who believed that perjury was not so
common as was tPually supposed. He sentenced the pri-
soner to be imprisoned for fifteen months with hard labour.
George Lees, who was convicted on Tuesday of hs,ving
caused the death of an old man named Totlow, at ihe Bed
Lion public-hoube, at Middleton, by kicking him, was
sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment, w.th hard
labour.

GAROTTE ROBBERY.—Thomas Ttreer,aged 25, labourer ;
Michael Coyle, 19, packer ; Henry Hampeon, • 23, wheel-
wright • Michael Maguire, 26, labourer ; John Taylor,
25, labourer, and Mary A.nne Curran, 19, factory labourer,
were charged with having, at Manchester, on the 28th
April last, robbed, with violence, Oswald Allen, and stolen
from him a gold watch, chain, and other articles.
letr. Taylor prosecuted ; Mr. Sowier defended Turner.
Mr. Scott defended Coyle. Mr. Hopwood de-
fended Hamoson, and the other prisoners were unde•
fended. The evidence of the prosecutor was, that wry
early on the morning (about two o'clock) of the 2.)th
April, he was in Piccadilly, Manchester. He had taken
some driek at the time, but seated that he knew
what he was doing. He met a nemesis named
Eastwood there, and she asked him to treat her. He
went with her into a public house called the " Crown
and Sceptre," which was open at the time. The prisoner,
Mary Anne Curran, was there, with the prisoner Maguire,
and some of the other male p.isoners. When the prose-
cutor came oat of the house, Curran and the men came
out too. She caught the prOsecutor by the arm, and dragged
him down an entry. The men rushed on him; one seized
him by the throat, and the others thew him down. They
robbed him of his watch and chain, and then they all ran
away. The woman Eastwood, who saw the attack and the
the robbery, corroborated the evidence of the prosecutor.
She identified the woman Curan, and the prisons s
Turner, Maguire, and Coyle, as the parties who were in the
public house, and who aided in the robbery. The wai•er
at Booth's public house, the " Crown and Sceptre," de-
posed that the prisoners were all in the public house
on the night in questiLn. The prisoners Curran, Maguire,
and Coyle were arrested together in a house about four
o'clock that morning. The prisoner Turner wag arrested oa
the same morning. Be was found lying in bed
with two women. He had his clothes on at the time.
'Under the mattress where he was lying were found a ring,
a seal, and a key, which the prosecutor identified as part
of the property taken from his parson. These were tha
principal facts of the ease : His Lordship said there was
no evidence beyond that of mere suspicion against the
prisoners Hampson and Taylor, whom he accordingly
-directed to be discharged. In charging the jury upon the
case against the other prisoners, his Lordship repeat ked
that it would be very well if the magistrates *led the police
of Manchester were to look after such homes as the
"Crown and Sceptre" public house He did not think
society would suffer any loss if such places were shut up
at the ordinary time; or if the magistrates would not en-
force their being closed, a guard of police might be placed
there to see that no offences were committed near them. •
The jury fund the prisoners guilty. His Lordship
sentenced the prisoner Maguire to eight years' penal
servitude ; Coyle to six years ; Tuner toeight years; and
Mary Anne Curran to six years' penal servitude.
Butteesay.—Sarah Siddall, was charged with having, at
Bury, on the 28: h March, burglarionsly entered the
dwelling house of William Barrett, and stolen thence
seven pounds weight of bsef and other articles. The jury
acquitted the prisoner.
Ass trLT AND ROBBERY.—John Clarke, aged 18, labourer,
and James Horroehe, aged 22, factory operative, were
indicted for assaulting and robbing a boy at Walmeraley-
cum-Shuttleworth, on the 4th of May last. The prisoner
Clarke puled guilty, sad W4ll sattouced to three
