ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTH LANCASHIRE.—LIVERPOOL, August 13.

CROWN COURT.
Baron Watson took his seat on the bench this morning
shonlr before nine o'clock, and at once proceeded to sentence
the following prisoners :

Patrick iCisa.tin, found guilty if having stabbed an 1
wounded John Greaney, at Salford, on the 4 h of June

RAPE AT DURY.—Ellie Martin. aged 37, a labourer,
pleaded not guilty to having ravished a girl, Hannah
Pilling, on the 20th of June last. Mr. Sowler prosecuted,
ana 241 r. Wheeler defended, the prisoner. It this case he
been proven, as alleged by the prosecution, it would have
been one of a mos painful nature, the prisoner being the
stepfather of the compleriunnt ; but it appeared, by her
own admission, that she had frequently, on previous
occasions, given her c3nsent. His Lordship, after hearing
a portion of Vie evidence, suggested to the jury, that, as it
would b 3 dangerous to convict on such evidence, they
should acquit the prisoner, who had been guilty of an
offence which must be looked upon with horror and
disgust. The jury acquitted the prisoner, who was
discharged with a severe admonition.

ANOrILE c ELMILiR Cum-tam—John Haworth, aged 22, a
labourer, was charged with a similar offence to the above,
on the 22nd March last, at Walmersley-eum-Shuttleworth.

and WAS a child only eleven years of age. Mr. Wigham
was for the prosecution. The jury found the prisoner guilty
of an indecent assault, and was sentenced to two years'
imprisonment with h rd lab:,ur, baing the utmost punish-
ment the 14w allowed.

ANOTEIER CASE —ThOEVi 2P32ahon, aged 32, a shoe-
maker, was charged with a like offence, upon a girl named
Bridget Moore, in Liverpool, on the 20. h May last. Mr.
Blair appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Scott for the
prisoner. The prisoner w, :s acquitted.
TUE KNlFE.—Joseph Kennedy, who had been found
guilty of stabsing fames Haley, on the 3rd of June last,
at Salford, was sentenced to be impriuned for six months,
with hard libour.

lished in this journal in the early part of the present week.

Mr. Fleming had spoken slanderout-ly of him. To that ha
attributed the unwillingness of the silversmiths of the
city to give him orders. The slanderous words were that
he (the plaintiff) had stolen a toast-rack. Mr. Atherton,
who, with Mr. Wheeler, appeared for the defendant, said
that when the expression was used, which was in the way
of a privileged communication, there were circumstances
which for a time gave rise in Mr. Fleming's mind respect-
ing the missing article, but he had since become
convinced that those suspicions, although they appeared
reasonable at the time, were since proved to be
nufcunded. He had no intention to attribute dis•
honaqy to the plaintiff, and he did not impute it now.
A Juror was withdrawn, and so the matter ended. Mr.
Monck. Q.C., and Mr. Fearnley, appeared for the
plaintiff.

HARRISON v. Humfte.—Tnis was also an action for
slander. Mr. Monck, Q.C., with Mr. Ovens, appeared for
the plaintiff; and Mr. Atherton, Q C., for the defendant.
The plaintiff is a butcher, and the defendant an innkeeper
and c.tt'e•deale-, both of Levens halms, near Manchester.
The defendant also carried on the trade of a butcher at one
period, and on retiring sold it to the plaintiff. Some time
since they were present at a raffle for a cow, and some
difference arising, the defendant said he would make the
business which he (the plaintiff) had paid £l,OOO for, not
worth £2OO. Ha subsequently said that the plaintiff sold
very bad meat, and that he would go any distance for a
hatch" (a diseased cow.) He had also resumed business
as a butcher in the immediate neighbourhood. The jury
returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages £lOO.
The Court adjourned at twenty minutes to six to nine
o'clock this morning.

ENGLAND AND THE SLAVE TRADE. —The New York
Tribune says :—" We print a very interesting debate in
the Hors! of Commons on the subject of the slave trade—
a debate which fereshadows, if we mistake not, some
pretty decisive measures on the part of the Blish Govern-
ment for the final suppression of that traffic 'lt It was well
observed is the course of the debate, that the suppression
of the slave trade, so far from being a failure—as some
impatient friends of that measure and the entire body of
secret opponents join in cornelaining—has been, con-
sidering the nature and =gni' ude of the enterprise, and
the obstacles necessary to bs overcome, one of the most
remarkable achievements of the current century. In
reference to the cultivation of c ttton with us, one of the
speakers who took part in the debate felt into a gross
blunder ; as indeed is hut to apt to be the case with mem-
bers of the British Parlianr nt who attempt references to
American affairs. Mr. Watkin is made to say that it i 3
a melancholy fact that white the British consumption of
cotton has doubled itself in twelve years, the labour pro-
ducing it has only increased 28i per cent, since 1790 !
In 11'90 the number of hands engaged in the United
States in the cultivation of cotton did not probably amount
to a hundred. Several years later the exportation to
England was confined to a few bergs of Sea Island cot on,
and those had great difficulty in getting through the
Cu-ton2-hou-e, because cottoc hal never bean known
i there except as a West ladle production.
CuRIOLTS CHARGE OF BIGAMY.—John Dear, who was
s'atel to be an ex-police constable, but who was now a
stoker on board the steamboats, was brought before Mr.
Ingram, at the Wandsworth Police Court, on Wednesday,
charged with unlawfully intermarrying with Rebecca Sher-
man Potter, his first wife being at the time still alive.
The prosecutrix stated that her name was Aldridge, and
she lived with her husband, George Aldridge, at No.
4, Victoria-terrace, South Lambeth. Site had known
the prisoner since 1817. He hal been a constable in
the police force, and en the 2nd of January 1853, she
was married to him in Bermondsey 011 Church. About
October, 2855, she discovered that the prisoner had been
married before. A woman claimed him as her husband,
and said they had been married twenty years. The
prisoner was in Holloway gaol, whose be had been
committed for twelve months, when she discovered that
he was married. He was liberated on the 21st of Sep-
tember in last year, and since than he has been cos.
stantly annoying her and sending letters. She was
married to her present husband in July, 1856, while
the prisoner was in Helloway gaol. He came and de-
wended witsas as his wife. She heard speaking
to her buibind. He stated that he was a captain just
come home from a thirteen month' voyage ; that when
he went to his home he found that she had gone away
end taken all the furniture. He also said that ske eves
living with a man, and had stolen his (the prisoner's)
goods. 'Witness's husband told the prisoner that he had
no claim over her, as his first wife was living. A few
nights afterwards the prisoner brought a horse and cart
to take away what he claimed to be his furniture. She
told him the things belonged to her, and that he had no
claim over her. He made a great disturbance and in-
sisted upon having his things. SI--e gave him his own
clothes, but refused to give up the furniture, as she had
bought it More they were married. On the previous
night he came again, and made a great disturbance
about the furniture, and she then gave him into custody
for the bigamy. In answer to questions from the prisoner
and the bench, the prosecutrix, who at first denied that
she knew that the prisoner had a wife when she married
him, admitted that she heard that he had a wife before
they went to church. Intimacy took place between them
before they were married. Mr. Ingram thought there
was no case to send to a jury, for it was quite clear
the prisoner had only been given into custody to settle
the dispute about the furniture. The prisoner said if his
wife would not live with him he wanted his furniture.
Mr. Ingram told him he must obtain it in a legal manner,
and not annoy the prosecutrix. There was no proof that
the first wife was living; the prosecutrix was also liable for
bigamy. The prisoner was Men discharged:
