being on its right bank. Mr. Elliot is stationed on the West.
Mr. Smith on the East Coast, about twenty miles distant from
aach other. . _ . .

(t appears that the insurrection was entirely confined to the East
Coast, so that no commotion whatever took plic' on the estates on
abich Mr. Elliot labours. and not one of the Negroes under his in-
struction was implicated in the rebellion.
Mr. Eltiot's being taken into custody was therefore owing only
(though he had threatening% given him) to an alleged •• disobedience

all taken from his house, he *3s allowed to return Lome, under au

Mr. Smith.

Mondoy, the I3di of o.nober, brought to trial before a Court

Divine Provideace, he boa been able to prove himself guildess of I

It it not, however, to be concealed, that he will have had much
to contend with from the violence of public prejudice in the colony,
'and it is to be feared from the false assertions of sane of the un-
happy Negroes, whom the hope of favour towards themselves may
have led to bring against him '• things that be knew not." Indeed,
the Directors arc informed, upon authority on which they can rely,
that some of the condemned Negroes, finding the hope of life taken

induced so to set. and ent ethers, onheingquesioned whether they
lad not been heited to rebellion by Mr. smith, had, in the strong-

SURREY ASSIZES, FRIDAY, JANUAIIY I.

IRefirre Mr. JUSTICZ PAIL"
CHILD MURDER.
Sarah Rend was charged, on the Coroner's Inquisition, with the
wilful murder of her new-born illegitintam female child, by drown-
ing. at Wandsworth, on the 11th October last.
Law stated the csee for the prosecution, with great temper
and forlextranec.
It appeared in evidence that the prisoner, a young woman aged
28, had been laundry-maid in the service of Mrs. Stewart, who
keeps a balky' school at Lower Tooting. Previously to the II th
of October last the prisoner was observed by some of her fellow-1I
servants to he in a state of pregnancy. On the lOth of the month
she obtained leave from her nostress to be absent for a couple of
days. Between See and six in the evening of that day she called at
the house of her aunt, Mrs. Baskin, who lives at 11, Wellington.
place, Newington, and asked for a night's bulging. Her aunt told
her she could not sleep there, as her husband was then lying dead in
the house. After some persuasion, however, and it being suggest..
ed by the prisoner that she had no other place to sleep, she con-
sented that she should sleep with her. They went to bed toge-
ther. in the course of the night the prisoner gut tip once or twice;
her aunt inquired what was the matter with her ? and she replied
•• Nothing.' The aunt went to sleep ; and about three o'clock
was mused by the try of a child. She immediately jumped up,
and found a new-born baby on the bed. She screamed out, and
said to the prisoner, .` Staab Sarah ! you have hmtight me to
shame and diagram." She got up, and assisted the prisoner to
sit on the bed, and observed to her that there were no clothes to
dress the child. The prisoner said she had some in her bwiliet,
which she had brought the night before. Some clothes were
accordingly found in the prisoner's basket; a nurse was sent
for, and the child was dressed. It was a full.grown tine female
infant. The none asked the prisoner if she knew who the
I father was ? and she replied that she did, and that he was well
able to provide for the child. The prisoner expressed her in-
tention of going that morning to Streatham, to tied the father ;
but she was not well enough to go nut until the afternoon.
She then quitted her aunt's house with the baby, anti walked
to the Eltpliant and (tattle. It was then mining hard, and she
took the outside of the Streatham coach, and arrived nt Streatham
about six in the evening. The prisoner's aunt spoke of her as being
a humane and kind-hearted girl ; she had had another child about
three years since. Upon the prisoner's snivel at Streatham she
called with her infant upon a gardener named John Gilmore. She
charged hint with being the father of the child. He asked her how
long she had lain in ? She replied, the day before. Ile looked at
the child, and told her it looked a week old, and therefore said he
would not come to any tern's. She then walked away, threatening
to swear the child to him on the Saturday following. This man ad-
ntitted that he had had intercourse with the prisoner on the 9th of
Jannary preceding. On the 2tth of November last a little boy,
named James Brett, was looking fur water-rats in a ditch in (Mr-
ratt-lane, near Garratt-green, and saw a new-burn infant with its
head under the weeds lie poked it out with a stick, and brought
it to the hank, and then gave information of his discovery in the
neighhoarliood. The child appeared about two days old, and was
putrid on one side, and quite naked.
Thomas bevett, a constable of Wandsworth (the most important
ohne's for the prosecution), deposed, that in consequence of the
child being found in a ditch as above-mentioned, he went with
Brbors, another constable, and Gilmore, the reputed father of
the child, to 3lra. Stewart's, and there saw the prisoner, where she
had resided since the 11th of October. Witness mid to her.
I want to know what has becemte of the child you showed Mr.
Gilmore ?" At the same time Gilmore said to her, " Sarah, you
showed the child to me." The prisoner then said to Gilmore, "it
is not your child." Witness then said to her, I must apprehend
you on suspicion of making away with the child, and you must go
sway with me to Wandsworth." Witness then took her into cus-
tody. In their way (being out of the hearing of Gilmore and the
other constable), witness asked her whether Mr. Gilmore had been
with her during the time she had been in the family way ? She
replied, that she had seen him in a private count in August last, and
had told hint of her situation. From that time until the birth of her
child she had not seen him. Ile then asked her whether Gilmore had
made her any promise to support thechild, or provide for it? She aid
Ihe had told her it could nut be his child, and that she might swear
Itoit if she pleased. He then asked her what hail become of the
child, and she said she had made away with it. Ile then asked
her where she had made away with it, and she replied that she
threw it into a ditch. He asked her whether she had struck or
braised it. She said she hail not. lie then said to her, " Did you
put 1t into the ditch alive ?" She said, " Yes." About this po-
riod of the conversation, he told her that she was not bound to con-
fess to him. Ile then asked her what she had done with the child's
clothes, and she said she had thrown them away in Garratt-lane.
He was not eatidied with this answer. He asked her how she came :
to go to Garrett-green, where the child was found. Sbe said she I
was so hurt or distressed sith the answer she had received 6002
GiUmore, she did not knew what to do. She determined to go far t
a nurse for her child. She did not know where she went. She in- I
tended to go to Mrs. 'Uphill, a nurse who lived near the spot
where the child woe found. She did not know where she went or
what she did, she was so agitated. Witness is • family man, and I
he knows that a woman after child-birth is liable to wanderings of
the mind from any sodden affection of the spirits. The common
milk fever has this effect. The prisoner's mind might be affected
by the very journey which she took from Wellington-place, on the
I Ith of October, to Streatham, in the TS* so recently after the
child birth. . .

This witness underwent a strict cross-examination by Mr. ADO L.
emus. lie had been a conatable for seven years; never warned the
prisoner that the inquisitorial examination he had subjected her to,
would be received in evidence against her ; nor did he warn her not
to confess ; he had not held out any threats to induce her to confess;
it was mere conversation with her ; it was true that the prisoner
had said before the Magistrate, that he (witness) had threatened, or
something to that effect, which he denied ; when the prisoner saw
the child found in the ditch, she said it was not like her child ; she
admitted that her child was a female.

The case for the prosecution being closed, the prisoner was
called upon for her defence. She said that the constable, levett,
had harrassed her with questions, and such was her agitation,
she conversed in the affirmative to every query put by hint. The
supposed confession had been extorted from her under a threat
that the Magistrates would compel her to state all she knew of the
transaction.

No witnesses were called for the prisoner.
Mr. Justice Pane then seminal up the case for the Jury, and
suggested fur their consideration every topic favourable to the in-
terests of the unhappy prisoeer. With respect to the supposed
confession, he said, that undoubtedly the evidence of Lovett, the
constable, upon that subject, could not in strictness he rejected,
although it was for the jury to say whether that confession had not
been drawn from her by the impertinent administration of questions
highly improper on his part, and not the result of a voluntary
statement arising from the compunctions of • guilty conscience.
If they thought that the prisoner had been improperly operated
upon by the officious conduct of the turntable, they ought not to
give that weight to the alleged confession, as they were hound
to do in cases where a prisoner voluntarily sought a communication
of guilt. The effect to be given to s confession obtained in the
way proved, was peculiarly within the province of the jury to esti.
ntstc. ,bother mon important consideration in this case was,
the nomiun of malice •prepense, which went to the whole
gist or the alleged crime of murder. Had the prisoner any
uudice preperse towards her unfortunate infant ? From
first to last the unhappy woman at the bar did not appear to
hare contemplated the violent death of her offspring. With the
' tender forecast of a mother, she had prepared for the nurture
and care of her infant, by providing clothes beforehand, and
after its birth, had sought out the father, who, by law and
nature, was bound to protect it. (tieing full abet to the sup-
posed confession, it appeared that the unhappy -roman was he-
reared of her sense. at the moment of the draidful act, and was not
in such a state of mental perturbation as rendered her insensible to
' the fies of nature, so pazionieint in human conduct in every other
trial of humanity. It was for the Jury, therefore, under such en.-
' curoatsrees, to consider whether the unhappy woman at the bar
was really Reif-pommied at the period in question, and had meditated
I the destruction of her helpless infant; bearing at the same time in
mind the circumstances of her having previously borne a child, which
she had nurtured with it:eternal tenderness, rid had reared to this
hour; and that, in general, her heart was influenced by the impulses
' of tenderness good nature—and humanity, the common attnlsutes
of her sex. Indeed. without the supposed confession there would
have been no evidence to go to the Jury, as to the identity of the
child, because that point depended upon the credit to he given to
the constable's relation of what the prisoner was alleged to have
statcd. The whole case was in the hands of the Jury. and his
Lordship was quite persuaded that their verdict would be the result
of a due regard to the interests of public justice on the one hand,
and an anxious regard to the fate of the unhappy prisoner on the
other.

The Jl' deliberated a few minutes, and found the prisoner—
Gni/tv.
Their verdict was received by the auditory with manifest sensa-
tions of pleasure.
Mr. Justice PARK then called up the constable, Levett, and se.
verely admonished him for the impropriety of his conduct in put..
ting questions to the prisoner fur the purpose of extracting a con-
fession of guilt. His conduct was extremely improper and
highly illegal. Ilia Lordship ordered the expenses of Levett and
of ti dime,' the putative father of the child, should be disallowed.
Irillianillarros, Laski Parsonage' 04PiethIC Spinet, and
Lsey Parsons, were indicted, the two first-mentioned prisoners
under the statute Mith Elizabeth, for breaking and entering the
threihni,.house of John Clarke, in the parish of St. Mary, New.

who deposed that the latter occupied a bowie, No. 4, Birdcage-
alley, St. George's-fk4ds ; he was in the habit of going every even-
ing to take care of his brother-in-law's house ; between six and se-
yen on the let of November, he went to the house for that purpose,
and after he had lighted candles he discovered that the back-door
leading to the yard was open. Presently he saw the face of the pri.
oner Cropper at the back window. He gave an alarm to his sister-
hi-law, and than went into the back yard. As soon as he got into
the yard the prisoner Cropper struck him a violent blow on the
chest, *lnch staggered him. He then saw the prisoner Clarke and
a third man. In endeavouring to recover himself, he inclined to-
wards Clarke, who drew some sort of weapon upon him, and he
received a cut in the front part of one of his thighs. lle was taken
into the house and the prisoners escaped.
These were the leading circumstances of the case. There was no
proof as to the manner in which the prisoners got into the back-
yard of the prosecutor's house, nor was there any evidence that they
had been in fact in die house. For these defects of proof, Mr.
Justice Park told the Jury they must acquit the prisoners in point
of law.

The Jury found the prisoners Yor
The prisoner Clarke was again indicted for assaulting George
Henry Stokes, the witness mentioned in the last ease, on the 2dth
of October, in the same parish, putting him in fear, and stealing
from hie person a handkerchief and a gold pin.
The prosecutor stated, that, on the evening of the 211th October,
he was going. to the house of hi+ brother-in-law, Cowland, and saw
the prisoner in the art of endeavouring to open the door with a
skeleton key. Ile struck the prisoner on the wrist, and knocked
the key. out of his hand, and picked it up. The prisoner insisted
on having the key again, seized the prosecutor by the throat, and
threatened to choke him if he did not deliver it up. The pmsecu-
tor begged he would not ; and the prisoner, pulling a knife out
of his pocket, cut the kerchief from the prosecutor's neck, in which
was a gold. pin, and ran off with both. Next day the prosecutor
saw the prisoner in the act of selling the handkerchief, and caused
him to be apprehended.
The prisoner called a woman named Saunders, who lived next'
door to the prosecutor's brother-in-law, for the purpose of proving
that the pin and the handkerchief were seen in the prosecutor a
possession after the time the robbery was said to have been
committed.

The Jury, however, under the Learned Judge's directions, found
the prisoner Guilty.
Judgment of death was recorded.
The prisoners Clarke and Cropper were then indicted under
Lord Ellenborongh's Act, for cutting and maiming George Henry
Stokes, under the circumstances mentioned in the first case against
the prisoners.
The Jury, however, on this indictment, after hearing the evi-
dence, and the observations of the Learned Judge, found the pri-
soners Not C,•ilty.
Joseph Eire.r, a youth 14 years old, was indicted for assaulting
the same George Spring Stokes, on the King's highway, on the
2ritit November, putting him in fear, and stealing from his person
a pair of boots and a pair of stockings.
It appears that the prisoner, though young, was one of a desperate
gang of thieves infesting Dover-street and Kent-street. Surrey.
Between five and six o'clock on the evening of the 28th November,
the prosecutor was seized by four or fire men, who stopped his
mouth with • handkerchief; and dragged him into a common
brothel in White Bear-gardens, Dover-road. They took him up
stairs, and tied hint with a rope to a bed-post. A female, named
Davis, a common prostitute of the worst description, was present.
The party proceeded to cut the Boots and stockings front his legs.
The prisoner King was one of the party, and he cut the laces of
the prosecutor's boots, which were delivered to Davis. One oU
the party desired another to go down stain and fetch a hammer, to
beat out the prosecutor's brains. Shortly afterwards all
the party went down, and whilst they were gone, the prosecutor,
with a knife, which he found on the table, cut the string with
which he was tied, and escaped by a back window, and gave an
alarm to the night patrol.
The prosecutor's statement was confirmed by several witnesses.
The prisoner attempted to prove an alibi, by the evidence of a
man and his wife, named Carlton, who lived in White Bear-garden,
but their testimony being unsatisfactory—
The Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions, found the
prisoner Gisifty, but recommended hint to mercy on account of his
youth.
Judgment of death was, in the mean time, recorded.

DIARY-LA-BONNE OFFICE.

On Thursday evening, previous to the sitting Magistrate, JORN
R AWL! Newt, Esq. leaving the Bench. the following case, of a moat
'vitro,' nature, came under his consideration:—

William /leery Reynolds, a carpenter, living In Peter-street'
Bishomigate-without, was brought into the office, tin
the custody of Andrew Hawkins, a watchman, charged with having
that evening matte a desperate attempt to deprive General Burton,
residing in New-street, Dorset-square, of his existence, by firing at
him two pistols loaded with ball.
The circumstances of the case, es related there before the Magis-
trate. was nearly as follows. Bat previous to the chugs being
entered into, a gentleman named Lock, a surgeon, of Upper Baker-
street, New-road, addressed the Magistrate, saying he had the two
pistols in his possession which had been tired by the prisoner at the
General; but he did not believe that the General felt an iodises-
tion to act with severity towards hint, as be had not sustained any
material injury.
Mr. K‘w LIN SOX said he was sitting there to dispense stice;
and, with due deference to the I lettere', he considered it his bounden
duty not to suffer a charge of this serious nature to pass without the
fullest investigation.
Mr. Lock then bowed with assent to the Magistrate's observa-
tion, and stated as follows :—•
A little after seven o'clock this evening, one of the servants be-
longing to General Burton came to his house in Upper Baker-
street. and requested his immediate attendance upon his master,
who had been shot by a man who was then in the house ; he ac.
eordingly proceeded there instantly, and on entering the parlour,
saw the General and the man seated. Witness, turning to the pri-
soner, asked hint if he had been guilty of such an atrocious set, and
why he had done it? to which the General exclaimed, " He has
killed me !" when the prisoner replied, " I sin quite content, and
hope it is so ;" and producing a pair of pistols, laid them on the
table, in the room where the attempted assassination was preme-
ditated, and said. " I have fired both of them ai the General."
The General here begged the prisoner to be candid, and state whe-
ther they were both loaded with ball ? To which he instantly re-
ined, they were ; and producing other bullets, said, he had cast
them the night beiore, for the express purpose. The surgeon then
asked him his reason ? Ile said his reason was, that he thought
his wife had been guilty of infidelity towards him, and strongly
suspected the General to be a snake to him. 'Witness then ex-
amined the General, to ascertain the injury he had received, and
found that a ball had passed through his coat, waistcoat, and shirt,
and only grazed the skin of his side, the bail haring glanced away
by only touching the rib but slightly. He then endeavoured to find
out in what direction the ball went, when he discovered that it had
passed through the fire-screen. struck the vrAll, and fell close to the
lire-place, near the fender. He took it up, and carried It with the
i pistols to his own residence.
Mr. RAWLIN 80X, addressing the prisoner, said he was at liberty
to state any thing he thought proper, but advised hint, in the most
humane and praiseworthy manner, not to commit himself.
The prisoner, who appeared very composed, gammen his thanks
to the worthy Magistrate in the most grateful terms, and begged
leave to state that he had every reason to suppose that the Gene-
ral had used every art to destroy his happiness and comfort, of
which he could produce proof.
Ile was then taken from the bar, and remanded for another ex-
amination, when the General would be present.
The prisoner, on leaving the oflice, bowed, with respect, to the
Magistrate ; and, in the cuter office, Mr. Hewitt, the chief con-
stable, was ordered to search him, which he readily acceded to.
saying, " I have a powder-flask and some money, which money I
hope you will not take from me ;" and, appealing to the persons I
around him, said, with en.phasis, " Is there a man amongst you
who would not have acted under similar circumstances as I have
done ?" He again expressed his thanks for the kindness of the
Magistrate, and the trestmert he had experienced from the officers.
Ile was happy to think he had not killed the General ; as yet he
might lire to repent of the injury which he had done to a fellow-
creature, so vitally, who had never injured him.
Mr. Morris, an officer, was then despatched by the Magistrate to
the house of Mr. Lock, for the pistols and ball, which he had in his ,
possession, and to make every observation he could at the house of
the General.

flonxin OUTIAGI.—a is with the deepest shame for
the character of a certain class of our working population, that
we have to state, that the diabolical system of throwing vitriol
upon the objects of their revenge is again revived in all its atrocity.
(In Wednesday evening, while a young man was going home, a
little before at: o'clock, he observed five men standing upon the
public footpath, at the foot of the lane called the Witch-loan, op-
posite the (:allow-gate toll-bar; and when he came up to them,
one of them, without saying a word, discharged a can of vitriol at
his face, but which, providentially missing his aim, showered upon
his hat and burned tt to a cinder. Another of them discharged a
can at his body, which took effect upon his side, when they all
ran off up the lane, in the direction of Duke-street, and have not
yet been diseevered. The young man was fortunately near his
father's home, wit:thet he run with all his speed, sod by means of
shifting his clothes, and dosiii_;„; water on his person, he escaped
without much injury. Had the monsters, however, succeeded in
their hellish purpose, he would either hare been murdered, or ren-
dered for he an object more horrible than death. The young man
is in no way connected with the cotton manufactories of this city
or suburbs, either by himself or through his relatiors ; and as tins
dreadful system has had its origin in these establishments, and I
has hitherto been confined to them, it is supposed that the villains
hare mistaken their victim.—Gleserw F. Peru.

TIIE LINCOLNaittRE MURDER.—The charge of mut'.
der at Alford, upon which an agricultural servant, named John
Smith, has been committed to Lincoln Castle, naturally excites
much feeling in the neighbourhood of the untnrtunste woman's re-
sidence. Smith was lately in the employ of Mr. Sarjeint, carrier
between Boston and Spilsby, but has since been employed by Mr.
Ancient, farmer, of Sailby, and has paid his addrosse.s to Sarah
Arrowsmith (the deceased) for tire years. Some of the London
papers, braving a recent caution, given by a Judge at Hertford,
have published the depositions taken before the Coroner on the in-
quest, and added reflections certainly calculated to produce a pre-
judice against the man, who is to take his trial at the next Assizes.
Situated as we are, with the opportunity of communicating infor-
mation, or opinion, to perhaps every one of the twelve individuals
of this county who, as jurors, will have to decide on the solemn
issue between the prisoner and the country, we shall, from feeling
(waiving the question of duty or right), abstain from following the
example set us by a part of the London press, and net publish the
details of the affair. until they transpire regularly on the trial ; and
thcn, as our readers, from experience, know, we shall be indus-
trious to give the fullest and the best information possible. In the
interim, we may say, that the prisoner denies all knowledge of the
way in which the arsenic and the flour which produced such fatal
results became mixed.. [low truly he makes this asseveration, will
