PROVINCIAL ASSIZES.

CAM BR I DGE.

'ibis trial, whicb excited so much interest in the Sporting World,
took place last IVeduesday.
The prisoner was arraigned on an indictment, with numerous counts,
viz.—For poisoning a horse belonging to Mr. Adams, ot Royston,
Bats, and a blood mare belonging to Mr. Northev, at Newinioket,
1899 ; and also for poisoning a horse belonging to Sir F. Standish,
and another belonging to Lord Foley, in 1811, at the same place.
He was tried and convicted on the first case only. •
The principal witness, as 011 the former trial, was Cecil Bishop, an
accomplice wit!' the prisoner. Ile had been sonic tune acqtotinted
with Dawson, and on application to him had furnished him with cor-
rosive sublimate to sicken horses. Ile went on to prove that Dawsonand he had become progressively acquainted, and that on the prisoner
complainiog the stuff was nut strong enough, he prepared him a solo-
tiim of arsenic. Witness &scribed this as n t olfensive hi smell; the
prisoner lisviies iolormed him that the horses had thrown up their
heads, and refused Cu partake of the water into widen the cuirostve
had been mimed. The pr.sontr complained the aloft' was
hot slang enough; alai oti being informed it it was made strung it
would kill :he horses, he replied, be did not mind that, the New-
mark( t frequenters were rogues, and if he, meaning the witness, lout
a fOrtune to lose, they would plunder him of it. The prisuot r titter-
uards informed %.itness he used the stud, which was then strung
enough, as it had lid ed a hackney arid two mares.
Mr-. Tillisrook, a housekeeper at Newmarket, wheie the pasoner
lodged, proved having found a bottle of liquid concealed under o,:w-
-su- s bed, previous to the horses having been poisoned ; and that
li!wsoo was out late on the Saturday and Sunday evenings prevams
to that event, which took place on the Monday. After Dawson bad
len the house, she found the bottle, which she identified as having
'cunta,:ie.. roe said liquid, ; n I which a ellearist proved to hare con-
ooison. Witness also proved that Dawson had conjunct! her
;hut he had poison in the house for some does, lest any one should
have the curiosity to taste it. Other witnesses proved a eh.tiwof cir
Lums:ances, which left no dotilit of the prisoner's guilt.
11r. Elise, I.r the prisoner, took a lead objeLt,on, that no crimi-
nal otleriee bad been committed, and that the sat jict was d matter of
to pass. Ile contended, that the indict:neat mast fall, as it was ne-
essary to prove that the prisoner hail tualtce ag ,list the owner of the
•liorse, t nuperish him, and nut egain‘t the annual. Ile also con-
tended. that the object of the prisoner was to injure, and not to kill.
The objections, however, were over-ruled without reply, and the pri-
soner was convicted.

ERTFORD.
YARROW V. CAT.VERT, ESQ. IND ANOTHER.
Mr. Curt woo u stated, that this wits an actien in which the plaintiff
complained, by his declaration, of being assaulted and dragged trout
his house at IVare to Hertford, and from Owner to the co :ninon gad,
where he was illegally held to solitary confinement, and fed only on
bread and water, for the space of one month.
Mr. Serjeaut BEST, in a most impressive speech, detailed the cir-
cumstances of the case. The defenditot, Mr. Calvert, was the Re-
preseutative in Parliament for this town, and, he was ready to admit,
had always shown himself a man of humanity cunt benevolence. lie
Was also Colonel of the Eastern Division of the Local 'Militia. The
plaintiff was a tradesman Jesidi,l, at \Vare, who Lad *served as a ser-
jeant in the Local Militia ; and the injustice of which he complained,
and for which he demanded a compensation in damages, was, chat by
a sentence of a Court Martial of the Local Militia, (a sentence which
be would clearly show to be illegal), he was acijode.ed to suffer one
menth's solitary confinement in the common gaol vi the county, to
ulich sentence the' defendants thought proper to add, of their own
authority, that his only food should be bread and water. And under
this sentence he was committed, and fed only with bread awl water
for some days, until his health was found sinking under such unusual
food, and then indeed Colonel Calvert granted, some relaxation to his
severity. lie would.heie readily admit, that the plaintiff had been
guilty of a small military fault, which be would state to them. The
plaintiff, Yarrow, was a serjeeitt in the 3d compraiy, he had used the
most unceasing diligence to perfect it in its dheipline,-.and had re-
peatedly received the thanks of his officers for his attentie.n and dill-
ence• • Among other orders delivered on the 31st of May, there

ford • •
, Instead of Ware, the next your; and Yarrow, in copying this
!der into his company orderly book, had foolishly added—re 'The 3d

lids, he admitted. was very toolish, and it was a military offence,
which perhaps demanded a reprimand, and some degree of punish-
ment. Accordingly, when the book went into the ines-rooiti, be was
called in and reprimanded, and ordered to exponge the obnoxious
passage. He expressed his coLtrition, and stated that he did not
mein it us etienbike to his Otbcers. This having passed, the plaintiff
supposed the mutter ut an end, and the next morning the men were
assembled on the parade, received theil• pay, and each went to his
own home. The plaintiff was, however, afterwards tried by a court
martial, and the sentence above stated passed. lie entreated the Jury
to give the pl ,ihtintf such an ample measure of damages as they
should think has sufferings merited.
The circuntstances of the case were pr,)ved by Scrjeant Ed-
ward,, and Wilson, the gaoler.
Mr. Serjeant Shepherd addressed himself in mitigation of damages,
and observed, that Mr. Culvert had been only anxwas to preserve the
discipline of his ieginient, and stated, as an instance of his bitnie•
nity, that atter the first week he privaiely supplied Yarrow with half-
a-guinea a week.—Verdict for plamulf.—Danves, 201.
