long and half an inch deep. They were incised, and made with a
sharp instrument; the lower wound endangered the person's life.
Stich an instrument as would be carried in the sheath that had been
produced would indict it.
The Cross-examination of all the witnesses went to prove that
the prisoner had bc:n provoked by repeated insults to the attack
upon the prosecutor, if the wound were inflicted by him.
On the part of the prisonet., several witnesses were called

leathers, and that
it was a design on the part of the inhabitants of Over-
ton to insult him and his companion Itoldawey.
Mr. Baron Osanow addressed the Jury with great feeling, and
said he was sure that he should have their closest attention whilst
be summed up the evidence to this important 'case. The prisoner
had been indicted under as Act which generally went by the name
of that great Lawyer, the late Chief Justice of the Court of King's
Bench, a hick made it a capital offence to indict a wound with a
sharp instrument, under circumstances that if death had eestied, it
would in the eyed law be considered murder. The counsel fur the
defence had endeavoured to prove that the prisoner had received
great preen :ration; but if he bad teen insulted by half the town of
Overtem, that Las no excuse for his conduct. If two men meet in
the streets with sticks, and one strikes the other, and the second '
, returns the blow—death ensuing from such an affray would be
I only manslaughter against the aggressor. If two men went on' to
ight, and one was killed in the bottle, that could onlybe considered
as manslaughter, because they were each on an equal fading. But
if two men turned out to light, end one of client with a concealed
instrument stabbed the other whilst lighting with lists, that was to
all intents and purposes murder. This was precisely the ease of
the prisoner; and it was his painful duty to tell than 110. His
Lordship then very minutely recapitulated the whole of the
evidence.
The Jury, after conflating a few minutes, re:netted a verdict of
Guilty.
The prosecutor, after the verdict was pronounced, recommended
the prisooer to mercy, which recommendation the Learned Judge
said awuld be forwarded to the proper quatter.

CIVIL SIDE.
SIR LEONARD HOLMES r. LOVE LED TECIEIL
This action was brought to recover 12AL, being half a year's
rent, for a farm occupied by the defendants. situate in the parish •
of East Afton. The tlefenlants had obtained a verdict at the last
Assizes, but a new trial had been granted by the Court of King's
!tench. The gist of the case rested upon the construction of
proviso in a deed of assignment to the deferdants, declaring that
ihe deed should be void, if all and every creditor of the assignor
should not agree to it within six months. One of the creditors had
dissented, and it was contended on the past of the defendants, that
the other creditors not expressing their assent was equivalent to a
dissent.
The Lona Cum/. JESTICE, however, ruled that a Fork", in a
deed to defeat a vested estate must be taken suictly. 'Am all and
every should be taken according to their ortlthary ineatiing, and it
tiny were taken to mean all or any, the effect of such a construc-
tion would be, that if ninety-nine out of one hundred creditors as-
sented, and one creditor dissented, a great majority might be de.
tinted by asingle dissentient. The estate ass vested in the defend-
ants. and they were liable to pay the rent. lle had the less difficulty

night in question, she foiled the articles laid in the indictment gone
and the piece in confusion. There was a window in the chapel
open, and there were some things in a corner near it.
The Rev. Jelin Reynolds, the Minister of the chapel, stated
that he went to visit the prisoner after be was committed. Ile went
merely to remonstrate with him. He asked hint how he found

cane of great aggravation ; and the prisoner, instead of attending to
the admonitions of the minister, was considering how lie could, in
the easiest manner, plunder the chapel. It was lamentable to re.
fleet, that there were respectable persona in society whose comm.
Lions with the prisoner made them, in some degree, partakers of
his disgrace. It was necessary, for the sake of those individuals—
for the sake of socie•'—and for the suite of the prisoner, that he
should be sent out of the country. The sentence of the Court
upon him was, that he be transported for seven years.
The calendar being gone through, those prisoners who bad not
received sentence were brought up for that purpose.
Mr. Baton GAILROW, in addressing them, said that it was a
melancholy thing to see so many persons convicted of the crime of
sheep-stealing. This crime had now increased to a very. alarming
degree in the country, and he would to Duel that the striation of
those persons who now stood at the bar might be a warning to those
who were likely to incur the punishment that awaited similar of-
fences, and that they might be induced to retrain from them by
learning, that should the practice continue to the like extent that
the present calendar presented, it would be indispensably necessary

The JUDGE charged the Jury, and said the only question for
their consideration was by whom did the deceased come by his
deeth ? On doubtful occasions the prisoner ought to have the be-

HIGHW.IY ROBBERY.
Robert Taulor, aged 29, stood capitally itidicted for having on
3londay the '2.iith day of June last. in the town-street of Selby, fa
loniously stolen and taken away from the person of Wm. Walton,
seven guin,ea notes, and ICs. in silver, together with an old purse
and a silver bunting watch.
Mr. Joxts stated the case for the Crown, and called the pro-
' secutor.
Walton.—On the 411th of June he was at Selby fair,
where he went to meet a person. There were tire men standing
on die flags; three men came up to him, and asked whero he
was going ? I said, " what is that to you ?" when the prisor.er
at the bar knocked him down ; as he was getting up, he knocked
him down again. He afterwards got up and ran away, and they
sit run after him.

when he was knocked down the second time. The prisoner put
his hand in my pocket and took out the seven guinea bills. lie

said the person with him would pay on account of his having no !

with, who gave him seven guineas a-year and his clothes. The I
watch lie bought at York of a servant, but he could not tell his
name. lie knows the Gray Horse; he slept there. Never
offered to sell a silk handkerchief for want of money that day,
but that lie afterwards did for 3s. 3d. on being pressed by another
person, who wanted to purchase it. He came to Selby as he
wanted to buy a horse. Ile was now in the employ of Mr. Naples
of Thorn.
Elizabeth Thorne examined—She lives at Selby remember,
the 28th of June at night; it was Selby Fair: she heard • noise
and she saw one man, and a few yards behind him live more. The
prosecutor said, what do you follow me for: do you want to kill me
again ? lie was linocked down. I heard the cry of murder ; the
little man struck the prisoner, and the prisoner topped up Ins heels;
the little man was bloody.
Cross-examined by Mr. ARCHBOLD—She heard the man say
you have killed me, do you want to kill me again.
Several witnesses spoke of a light between the prosecutor and the
prisoner, who called several persona who were with him the night
the robbery was committed, whose testimony went to criminate the

siding in Golden-lane, was the planner of the robbery at Earl
Cowper's, that officer proceeded to the neighbourhood of Golden-
lane, on Friday night, upon. the look out. lie met Gregory. and
instantly enlisted him, saying that he had instructions to appre-
hend him wherever he met him. Gregory immediately swore that
he would never be talent by a earned ollieer, and struck Hcskcth a
desperate blow on the head, which knocked him down.
The officer, howevet, held him tight, and, of course, both fell
together. Gregory beat the officer until he ',was tired, and then
calmly accompanied him to the Vomiter. The Justice-room was
I crowded during the examination of the prisoner on Saturday, and
Mr. Richardson, the Solicitor to Earl Cowper attended to state the
grounds on which he had been apprehended. He stated that a young
female had gore on Thursday night to the prison at lierffind to
visit Davis, who lies there under sentence of death, and that a com-
munication was made to her there by that person, which, if it was
true, would be of the utmost importance, as it charged Gregory
'directly with having planned and superintended the arrangements
I for the robbery, which his inform ::on assisted the other persons
concerned in putting into execution.
Matilda Blanchard stated, that she had been servant at Dud-
field's house in Shire-lane, and that she had known Gregory tight
or nine months, Lavin been in the habit of seeing him every day
while she lived opposite to his uncle's house, in Golden-lane. she
lived with the convicted prisoner, Davis. at the time, and Davis
and Gregory were constantly together. Bill Jones, who was con-
cerned in the robbery, but was not yet found, told witness that
Gregory was the •• putter up" to the robbery, and it was a thing
spoken of at Dudlield's the day after the robbery. On the Thurs-
day after the robbery, site heard Dndfield collating the money which
was plundered, and heard a conversation to the same effect. She
had livid at Dudfield's two years, and knew Davis, with whom she
lived about 18 months. /she never saw Gregory at Dudfitild's,
bat he was constantly with Davis at the Rnibow public-house.
The LORD MAYOR asked the witness whether the robbery was
spoken of openly before her by Dudfiekl ?--She replied in the
affirmative. She had also heard some of those who had been con-
victed say that they met, or were to have met, Gregory at the
Kruse of Yr. Harris on the night of the robbery, but that it was
thought prudent that he should now repose himself in the im-
mediate neighinurileod, as he was known there.
Mr. 11 t; neitutcs, the Solicitor for the prisoner, begged that
the Lord Mayor would hesitate before he detained Gregory upon
such evidence. lie had seen the woman who so positively stated
those things at Hertford, before the Rev. Mr. Lloyd, and that
geotleman would net permit her to be examined as a witness, so
loose an opinion did he entertain of her veracity. He had witnesses
to prove that her evidence was not worth a farthing.
Mr. RICHAUDSOV submitted, that if caution were necessary
in detaining perslins under charges of felony, caution was also'
necessary in letting them go, especially when a personal and
intimate acquaintance was not denied to exist between Davis and
GrLgury.
The Loan Marna considered the case too full of suspicion to'
be discharged without a must minute investigation. It might be
objected that there was no evidence upon which to establish the
charge of being an accomplice ; but the same might have been said
of Dulfield, whom he had sent to Hertfordshire, and whose appre-
hension and detention were so necessary to the ends of justice.
Davis was 113 W under sentence of death, and as persons in that con-
dition often acknowledged the extent of their plans, and the names
of their companions to those with whom they had lived in close
intimacy, it might not be unreasonable to suppose that the infor-
mation g.veu by Gregory to this woman was correct. The wit-
ness's testimony of the woman might be false; but he was bound
to wait for u time to asiertsin whether it was to be confirmed.
Dlr. Iit:MPH/11E1 urged] the argument of Mr. Lloyd's refusal
to take the woman's testimony ; but his Lordship declared that
be could not be guided by the decision of another Magistrate, par-
ticularly as the information did not come in the regular manner.
Gregory—: was at my urcle's the whole of the week working,
and had no notion of the robbery.
Mr. Hum en RIES then submitted to the Lord Mayor, that sup-
posirg the evidence of the witness to be true, what offence was the
prisoner accused of having committed ?
The Lord Mayor said, that a desperate robbery had been com-
mitted, and it was evident that a person who was well acquainted
with the premises at Earl Cowper s was concerned, and was pro-
bably the planner of the whole. lie did not now determine to
commit the prisoner for trial, but should remand hint fur furher
examination. lie was confident, in the mean time, that every ne-
cessary caution would be made by the city officers i.e bringing
forward further en idence.

The Learned JUDGE charged the Jury, and said, where there
was conflicting testimony, as in this case, the Jury would decide
aceonling to the nature cf the evidence, and judge for themselves.
Vertlict—A'oe Guilty.
This day the whole of the prisoners were tried, and we believe
none are left for execution.
