WINCHESTER, SATURDAY' MARCH 9.
The Lent Assizes for this county concluded this
morning. The criminal calendar coat4ioed fiftyr
eight prisoners for trial, sixteen of whom have bees
sentenced to suffer death, but twoonly of that num-
ber (poachers), were left by the Judges for execu-
tion, vie. James Tenter, aged 28, for aiding and
assisting in killing Robert Baker, gamekeeper to
Thomas Asabeton Smith, Esq. in the pariah of
South Tidworoh I and Charles Smith, aged n, for
having wilfully and maliciously shot at Robert
Snelgrove, assistant garseJteeper to Lord Palmer.
' ston at Broadhinde. in the perish of Romsey,
with intent to do him grievous bodily harm.
The Judge (Buaaouon) observed, it became
necessary in these • that the extreme sentence
of the law should be inflicted, to deter ethers, as
resistance to gamekeepers was now arrived at an
alarming height, and many lives had: been lost.
The following is an account of the trials of these
euhappy men, as well as of the other priocipel eri-
nt'aals :
Cherries Smith was Indicted for shooting et Ro-
bert Snelgrove (as stated above). The circum-
stances, as they appeared in evidence. were as fol.
low :—On the evening of the 23d of November.
1810, Snelgrove, being an assistant, made an ap-
pointment to go out with C. Martin, gamekeeper
to Loid Pslmervion. Between six and seven in the
evening they heard a gun in Hove Coppice. Oa
their approach to the spot, they beard some one in
the when Saelgrove went and placed him-
self at the upper end of the coppice, against a tree.
Soon after two men came out of the cover, towards
him ; and hearing the keeper's dog snort, they
stopped. loolied round, and then ran away, pursu-
ed by Snelgrove, who soon reached within about five
or six yards of them. when the Prisoner turned
round and shot him through the thick part of the
thigh, the smoke from the gun flying into Snel-
grove's face. It was light, but the moon was not
up. He kept his bed • week, and was altogether
confined from November till March. Snelgrove
had known the Prisoner for six years, and been in
the constant habit of seeing him. He (the Pri-
soner) called it his house a little time before, to
sell a dead horse.—Death.—To be executed on the
513 d inst.

James Turner Was found Guilty of siding end
assisting one Jamey Goodhall end others, in ins.
licionsly firing upon, wounding, and killing Re.
bell Baker, on the 10th of December, in the pa-
rish of &elk Tidwerth.
It appeared that the Prisoner, in company with
four other 'poachers. viz. Edmond Steele, Richard
Goodhall, James Goodhall, and James Scullard.
left their home on Sunday evening, the 9th of De-
cember, and after they had drank together, pro-
ceeded from the neighbourhood of Andover, where
they lived, to Aslidowir Coppice, a distance of
about four miles. On the road, Scullard and the
two Goodhalls tried their guns. which went off
well. Soon after they got into the wood, Robert
Goodhall killed • pheasant, and immediately six
keepers came up to them. James Goodhall turn.
ed round, and said, with an oath, " If you don't
keep off I'll blow • hole through you." The
poachers retreated. exclaiming defiauce to the
keepers, who were keeping their pursuit closely.—
Goodhall turned round and fired, when Robert
Baker fell : he was wounded iu the neck, and soon
after died. They then became intermingled, and
• violent struggle ensued. The Prisoner took a
gun out of Scullard's hand and pointed it towards
the keeper : the gun flashed, but did Dot go off.—
One of the keepers following up the' Prisoner, he
said, " D—n it, have you not had enough of
it ?" and struck him with a gun, which broke off
close to the stock. The Pri.orier turned round
again, and hit the keeper twice with the stock of
the gun, who fell down, when the re.t of the party
were nearly or quite out of the wood. The poachers
kept together until they came within three quarters
of a mile of Andover: before they parted. they
looked over their guns, when it appeared that
Goodhall had not his own, but one of Squire
Startled guns.
The Piisoner received a gond character from Mr.
Phillips, of Andover, who had known him 18 years.
He was sentenced to suffer Deuth ; and to be exe-
cuted On Monday next, and his body to be dissect-
ed, sud anatomised.

The following prisoners had also the awful sea.

Prisoner.
Mary Anne Locke, who lived I. the same
house with 'Devi', derkised, that she did not see
any ill-treatment of the boy until after he had
been apprentice about a month ; he was bound on
the 21st October last. The first thing she observed
was Davis beating him up and down the yard with a
piece of old sock, and called him a rascal, for
not sweeping the chimney where he had been.—
About • week after the little boy went to bed, at
between sin and seven in the 'Truing. without Da-
vies leave; saw Davis come down stairs with the
boy, who had only his shirt on, and beat him round
the kitchen with a whip. The boy cried for mercy,
and told his muter he would not go to bed without
his leave again. In about a week the boy went to
bed again without leave. Davis had him fetched
down spin, and beat him on the back with a cane ;
soon after that he beat him again up and down the
yard. with a whip, called him lazy, and said he had
done no work. A day or two afterwards he made
him take off his jacket, trousers, and shirt, and
wash them in &yard, after putting on another yair
of trousers; he aide the boy take the things oat of
the tub of cold wafer, asid,sisinp oo them; it took
him nearly an hour and a half. Davis remained with
him, and called him very bad names ; the boy cow.
plained•of cold, and Davis said he would pompon
him to circulate his blood. 'ln a day or two after-
wards the boy dirted his clot** again, herd Davis
made him wash and.tread them with his naked feet for
two hours and 'half, stantlitig over him the whole
time. She observed the boy's hands sod feet swol-
len, and stated a great deal of other ill-treatment.
One Monday Mrs. D. told her she had given the
boy brimstone and treacle, because he had bed feet;
Davis took the boy into the yard the neat morning,
as he had dined himself, and threw t bucket of
water over him whilst undressing, and soother after
he was naked ; called him very bad names, and took
a mop and mopped him. On another occasion, she
saw the same treatment, and after one of the wash-
ings she observed his fret were swollen so much she
could not distinguish his toe-nails : after he was wash-
ed in this way the boy trembled very much; the boy
could not walk so well as when he first came there.
About st week before Christmas at three o'clock
in the morning, she heard the boy say, "Oh! my
eye, my eye; master, my eye is out ;" she heard no
blows, but heard Davis calling him a lazy rascal ;
when she saw the boy in the moroing, she observed
one of his eyes much swollen ; on the same evening,
she saw the boy with a bag of sand fastened un his
back like a soldier'S knapsack : this Davis said was
a punishment for dieting hirnself,• and he called it
drilling him : she went in and out of the room se-
veral times from five till eleven in the evening, and
ell that time saw the boy carrying the bag, and.
Davis told him to walk last ; about nine the boy
began to fret and complain he was tired ; have seen
the boy more than a dozen evening carrying the
sand, and Davis said it was for punishment ; have
seen Mrs. Davis strike the boy, but did not think
her blows did him any serious iojury ; remonstrated
with Mrs. Davis, and told her if they used the buy
better he would be a better boy.
Solomon Locke saw the boy carry the hag of
sand ; should think it weighed from 12 to 20ibs.
The boy made a moaning noire, and said he was
tired ; he once begged the boy off; the boy sp.
peered to stagger ; Davis told bias it was for dirt-
ing himself. Can't say how the boy was fed ; once
saw Davis and his family at dinner, said the boy
carrying the bag of rand.
Frances Way detailed a series of beatings she
witnessed at various times, and also his carrying a
bag of sand often. Mrs. Davis told her it was for
punishment. At another time she saw him stretched
out on a table, with his arms tied to the legs. She
saw Mr. Davis tie him down, when he told her it
was to prevent his rubbing his sores. He had a bed
on the table ander him. Heard the boy say—" Oh I
master, don't tie me so tight." sod observed his
wrists swollen and cut with the cord. At another
time she saw him walking shout with his arms ex-
tended to a stick. and Davis struck him on the
temple with a large stick, and. bid him walk fast,
saying he should be hung for him. The boy re-
plied, " Oh! master, don't hit me any mure; 1
will try and walk foster. but my feet is so sore, I
don't think 1 cam" Davis told her be was tied to
prevent his picking his sores.
Sarah Carter detailed various acts of cruelly prat.
tised towards the boy, similar to what the tither wit-
nesses described.

Thomas Buckle is a surgeon, residing at New.
port. Mrs. Davis curve to him about twelve in the
morning, to attend her apprentice boy. He view
and found him in the long room, lying on a com-
fortable bed. He found the boy labouring under
an inflammation of the brain. The acute inflam-
mation bad subsided, but a chronic inflammation
had remained. Vas he discovered by the expansion
of the eye, which has a communication with the
brain. He exaniiiied the person of the boy, and
found several sores on different parts of his body,
but in a healthy state, to the number of 21; solve
were small, some as large as a live shilling piece.
lie asked the boy what was the matter; he aside
no reply. He aroused the boy, who tlieu described
himself as having a great pain in his head. Oil the
following day (Thursday), he was sent fur, and
found the boy much worse; he told Davis and his
wife the boy could not live, and &sited them to dip-
prise a Magistrate of his situation, or they would
get into difficulties. Mr. Davis appeared very
anxious about the hoy. The chronic inflammation
had increased. The day after the boy died : he
dissected bis head, and found on the left side minks
of inflammation and contusion, as though they had
been give.' by blows. Davis was found guilty of
Manstangliter, and sentenced to oxe year's impri-
sonment ; his wife was acquitted.
The Judgeiproceeded to Salisbury this afternoon
and opened the Commission there to try the Pri-
soners for the county of Wills, who stand charged
as follows:
