ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Lancaster, Aug. 10.
NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice
WIGHTMAN.)
This morning, an action of trespass of no interest
having been disposed of, and another cause referred,
the civil business of the assize was concluded.
His Lordship then disposed of several criminal cases.
7 homas Marsden, aged 20, and Robert Ainscough,
aged 29, were indicted for night poaching at Bre-
therton,on the 6th of August instant.
Mr. John Cross conducted the prosecution ; the
prisoners were undefended.
It appeared that on the night in question a game-
keeper to Mr. Leigh Keck, named John Ainsworth,
was out watching his master's preserves at Brether-
ton, along with another watcher, named Moss, when
he suddenly put his foot into a gin. This induced
him and the watcher to conchal themselves near, ex-
pecting those who bad set the gin to come for it.
They watched about an hour, when they
saw h
the prisoners at the bar. One of these men
went straightrs ton the e('m
gin up,
ad two
took of
it w
up, when
the witness and his companion rushed out of
teme
their hiding-place to seize him. He, however, imme-
diately werehen
Douglas, across which he swam, and escaped. The
witness
Atook s
Ainsworth
t h flight, and jumped into the river
and Moss then seized the two pri-
soners. Marsden told them to stand off, and, raising
the barrel of a gun with which he was armed, swore
he would cut Ainsworth in two with it ; he was
about striking him with it, when the witness Moss
caught hold of it behind him as he raised it, and
twisted it out of his hands. Marsden was seen
shortly before to pull out of his pocket and throw
away twenty snares, which were afterwards found.
The prisoners, in defence, said they were out fishing
and duck shooting.
His LORDSHIP having summed up,
The jury found both prisoners Guilty.
His LORDSHIP sentenced the prisoner Marsden to
be imprisoned twelve calendar months, and Ains-
cough nine calendar months, with hard labour.

CAMPBELL.)
Mark Warburton, aged 27, and Aaron .Neville,
aged 26, were indicted for the wilful murder of
Betty Croston, at Livesey, on the 10th of April last.
,
Mr. Whigham and Mr. MacOubrey appeared for
the prosecution; Mr. Blair defended the prisoner Ne-
ville, and Mr. Monk the other prisoner.
The deceased
bourer, who lived about two miles from Blackburn,
it appeared, was the wife of a la-
and was fifty-two years of ego. She waa returning
from Blackburn market in the evening of the 10th of
April, when she went into a public-house, called the
Weaver's Arms, at Darwen, and, after remaining
there some time, she and four women, neighbours,
and a man named Cowgill, proceeded towards Far-
mers'-row, where she lived, and in going there had to
cross a bridge, called Nova Scotia-bridge, over the
Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The deceased went over
the bridge, and along the towing path, the rest of the
party going by the turnpike-road. The women told
Cowgill to go with the deceased as she was the worse
for drink, and he accordingly followed her. After
walking some way with her, the two prisoners came
up, and proceeded to take liberties with the deceased,
and to pull her about indecently, Cowgill begging
them to let her alone as she was his old mother. The
prisoners then attacked and struck him, and drove
him away, running after him for some distance.
Shortly after the women on the turnpike-read heard
the deceased cry out, " John, John ! I'll warm you for
this ; I'll mark you for this." Cowgill went home,
and, the deceased being missing, the canal was
searcieed and drags were obtained, and about a
quarter of a mile from the place where the prisoners
had scuffled with Cowgill, the body of the deceased
was found drowned. The prisoners were identified
by a witness named Lawen, who met them following
Cowgill and the old woman, and the witness stated
that they said to him, " The old man could not do
the job,
and they would de it for him." Another
witness also identified them, who met them going
after Cowgill. A man named Howarth stated that he
heard a cry from the canal of "Help me out, helf me
out !" but it was dark, and be could see nothing. He
saw two men run across a field 30 or 40 yards off,
and he called to them to come and help, but they
made no answer. Another witness spoke to hearing
the noise in the canal, and on seeing the prisoner
Neville walk up along the towing-path and ask,
" What's up?" Witness replied that there was
a woman drowning
in the canal. They then heard
the woman cry, 44 John, John !" and heard a
" blobble" in the water, and witness said, "If it's
her she's drowned now." The prisoner Warburton
then came up and said, "It's John Croston's wife
drowning." When searching for the body one of
the prisoners said to a watchman named Booth that
they had leathered the chap who was with John
Croston's wife, thinking he was going to do some-
thing wrong to her. Both prisoners, on being taken
into custody, protested their innocence of the charge,
but Warburton's hands and face were scratched as if
by finger nails. The body of the deceased, when
found, had several slight braises and scratches upon it.
At the close of the case for the prosecution his
Lonnsuir thought the evidence insufficient to sub-
stantiate

soners.
His Louusurr expressed a strong feeling of abhor-

The prisoners were afterwards tried for an assault
on Cowgill, and found Guilty. They were sentenced

to be imprisoned for three months.

and convicted at the quarter-
Frome murder. He was then acquitted. He was
afterwards apprehended
sessions for some offence, and sentenced to 15 years'
fromtbat
Sparrow the gaol
was during
transportation ; while he Was in gaol under this sen-
tence, it was discovered that he had taken part in an-
other burglary, for which be was tried and convicted
at the recent assizes for this city and sentenced to an
additional 10 years transportation, thus making to-
gether 25 years' transportation. Bird was also con-
victed of a burglary and sentenced to be transported.
In the course of the of JJ.2 eveningAl 0IAA RV all the pri-
soners bad irons put on both legs, and 14 of them
were put into one room to sleep. There was
sacking suspended as hammocks, on which the pri-
soners slept in their clothes, as
there was neither bed
nor covering. At ten o'clock at ' night the governor
of the Somerset county gaol went into the
wards and saw that all was right. At twelve o'clock
at night the governor sent a guard to see whether all
and he reported
was quiet, that all was well. The
turnkeys and guards had no other accommodation
than a form in a passage into which the doors of the
different wards opened. At the corner of this parti-
cular room, opposite the entrance door, was a door,
leading into a long passage, at the end of which was a
watercloset for the use of the prisoners in that room.
About four o'clock this morning one of the prisoners
in that room knocked at the door, and told the turn-
keys that Sparrow and Bird were off. The officers of
course instantly went into the room, and found that a
hole had been made through the wall, immediately
over the seat of the watercloset, and upon searching
about part of a pair of tongs, about a foot in length,
and which had been chained to a fireplace which was
in the room, was discovered to have been broken
from the chain, and evidently was the instrument
with which the hole bad _ been made. The prisoners
were both heavily ironed on both legs. The first
man must have got out legs first, and then dropped
about nine or ten feet into a shallow stream of water.
He could then easily have helped his fellow prisoner
out. Having got out of the water, they were in the
yard of an inn which was shut up by high gates,
and there were the traces of the irons on the paint,
made as the men were getting over the
gates. They
were then in the open country with thick woods and
standing corn and beans. The governor of the
county prison (Mr. Oakley) was immediately in-
formed of these facts, and he took such measures as
circumstances permitted. He sent out the city po_
lice, all the javelin men who remained in the city,
and had several special constables sworn, and all had
instructions to make the most diligent search through_
out the woods and fields, but it is known that Spar-
row has on a former occasion remained concealed in
a wood for a month. The greatest difficulty the Con-
victs will have will be the removal of their irons, as
they are steel hardened ; at the same time, with such

be impossible for them to go faster than two miles

of tho week Mr. Oakley had written to the grand

TuRNPIIKE TEUSTS.—The fourth number of the
county reports of the Secretary of State, under the 3d
and
4th William IV., c. 80, relative to the county of Hampshire
has been printed. After tracing the formation of the roads'
in the county from the earliest periods, the report points out
the alterations made in the expenditure, and, other particu-
lars, since the passing of the Turnpike Trusts Act in 1833,
and the General Highway Act of 1E35. The total income
in 1834 Was 28,0351. 03. 9d. ; in 1850 it was 19,504/. 163. 84.

BRISTOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
A letter has just been received from the governor,
stating that Sparrow and Bird have been captured,
and safely lodged in Shepton Mallet gaol, but we have
not yet been furnished with any particulars.
The Commission for holding the assizes for the
city of Bristol was opened here yesterdcy afternoon
by Mr. Baron Platt. For the first time the clerk of
assize and associate, regularly belonging to the
Western Circuit, have taken their proper seats in this
court, the local associates having been removed. This
augurs well, and we may hope yet to see Bristol
placed in its proper position, having the assizes
twice a year, and a gaol delivery before the judges of
assize on the Western Circuit. There are 19 causes
for trial, four of which are marked for special juries.
The bad ventilation and inconvenience of the court
still continue.

GOODMAN V. HEMMETT.
Mr. Butt and Mr. Barstow were counsel for the
plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. Smith
for the defendant.
This was an action for the recovery of 901. under
the following circumstances :—The plaintiff had been
a straw plait manufacturer at Dunstable in Bedford-
shire, and the defendant was a shipowner in this city.
The defendant had advertised the ship Deborah to
sail for Australia, to proceed to the gold diggings.
The plaintiff was desirous of trying his fortune in
those regions, and he went to Mr. Dobbins, the ship's
agent, and secured two of the best berths in the ves-
sel for himself and wife, at the sum of 901., which sum
he
paid; but as the plaintiff was anxious that imper-
tinent inquiries should not be made by his creditors,
he transacted this part of the business in the name of
Buckingham ; and be had determined, in order to
ensure his future success, to procure as many pack-
ages as he could. The creditors, however, became'
suspicious, and understanding goods had been sent to
Mr. Dobbins, they telegraphed that gentleman, who,
knowing nothing of Mr. Goodman, telegraphed back
that he had not received any such goods. However,
it was subsequently discovered that the goods had
reall been sent by the plaintiff, and a
writ of capias was issued, and it was believed
by the creditors that the plaintiff's travelling
name was Goodwin. The vessel had gone out to
Kingroad, and the officers to whom the writ was
given proceeded to Lamplighter's-hall and inn, near
Kingroad, with the view of going -on board the De-
borah at daylight, believing the plaintiff to be in the
ship. The officers got into conversation with the
landlord, and asked him if he had any one in the
house of the name of Goodwin who was about to pro-
ceed to Australia. The landlord replied that he had
no one in the house of that name, but there were Mr.
and Mrs. Buckingham. It would seem that, al-
though this was in the middle of the night, the plain-
tiff heard some inquiries, and thinking that, as the
best way to pay his creditors would be to proceed to
the gold diggings, and that if he went on board at
once there might be a sudden chance of wind, to the
" ultimate" benefit of the creditors, he called out to
the landlord that he desired to leave the house di-
rectly. A person was in company with the officer
who perfectly well knew, not only the person, but the
voice of the plaintiff, and he directly said, " That is
our bird come into our net." They
.proceeded up-
stairs and took possession of their prize. Mr. Dob-
bins, finding the plaintiff could not go on board, let
the berths to a second class pa,senger, who was on
board, and the ship sailed. The creditors then claimed
a return of the 901., and the defendant, who was the
owner of the ship, refusing to pay it, the present ac-
tion was brought for the benefit of the creditors.
The legal proof in the-case, according to the opi-
nion of the Learned Baron, failing as to the contract.
Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE addressed the jury upon
the breach of it by the defendant, contending that
there was no proof of the berths having been let to
any one else, or that the plaintiff ever claimed them.
The Learned BARON, in summing up, observed
that the plaintiff had never presented himself at any
time to take possession of his berths, and, there-
fore, until he did so, there could be no breach, and
there was no evidence of the berths having been let
to any one else.
The verdict was therefore entered for the defendant.
A bill of exceptions to the ruling of the Learned
Judge was tendered.

CHESTER, Wednesday, Aug. 11.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice CROMPTON.)
Ellen Roberts, aged 24, was charged with the wil-
ful murder of her illegitimate child on the 7th of May
last. The prisoner pleaded "Not Guilty,"
Mr. Davison appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
M'lntyre defended the prisoner.
From the statement of the case by the Learned
Counsel for the prosecution it appeared that on the
26th of April last, the prisoner, who was then residing
as a domestic servant in the house of Mr. Hughes, at
Liverpool, was delivered of a male child, and that on
the Bth of May she took the child away from lodgings
in which it had been placed, and, under the pretence
of taking it out to nurse, conveyed it from Liver-
pool across the Mersey, to Bidston-marsh,
where she left it. The child was found the same
afternoon, about 5 o'clock. It was taken to the house
of the overseer of Bidston, where it died at 6 o'clock
the following morning. The Learned Counsel hav-
ing detailed all the facts of the case, called several
witnesses. The principal evidence was that of
Rose Ann Smith, who stated that she was a char-
wonian in the house of Mr. Hughes, builder, of Park-
street, Liverpool. After deposing to the birth of the
child on the 26th of April, she said that on that day,
in the course of a conversation between Mrs. Hughes,
the prisoner, and witness, the prisoner said, speaking
of the child, " I will never give it suck or pull my-
self down by it. I will soon get something to banish
suck from me." Mrs. Hughes then said to witness,
" Well, Mrs. Smith, if she will not take to the child,
you take it home and take particular care of it."
Witness then took the child to her house, and it re-
mained there 12 days. On the 7tla of, May, wit-
ness went to the lodgings of the prisoner, who had in
the mean time left the service of Mr. Hughes. Pri-
soner asked witness to let her have the child, as she
wanted rto take it out to Bootle to nurse for 3s. a
week. On the following day witness met the pri-
soner by appointment and gave her the child. The
next morning witness again saw the prisoner, who
told her that she had left the child very comfortable
with a good nurse at Bootle, and paid her for a
quarter in hand, at the rate of 3s. a week. On the
Saturday week following, seeing an account in the
Liverpool Courier of an inquest which had been held
upon a child found on Bidston-marsh on the same
day on which witness gave the deceased child to the
prisoner, with a description of the clothes worn by
the child so found on Bidston•marsh, curiosity led her
to go to the authorities, who were in possession of
the clothes, when she identified the clothes as the
same which the prisoner's child had on when witness
gave the child to her. Upon this, witness gave in-
formation, and the prisoner was taken into custody
at her lodgings in Liverpool. In the presence of the
policeman who took her into custody, witness asked
the prisoner what she had done with the child, when
she replied, " I never had a child."
In cross-examination the witness said she under-
stood that Mr. Hughes's son was the father of the
child.
Several other witnesses were called, one of whom
was a labourer employed on Bidston-marsh on the
Bth of May. He said he saw the prisoner on Bid-
ston-marsh on the Bth, with something in her arms
which he thought was a child. Other witnesses de-
posed to seeing her on Bidston-marsh and in the
neighbourhood on the afternoon of that day. The
surgeon, in his evidence, stated that the child found
on the marsh died from exposure and want of nourish-
ment. _ _

Mr. M'INTYRE then addressed the jury on behalf
of the prisoner in an eloquent and ingenious speech,
contending that the capital charge could not be sus-
tained. He admitted that the prisoner had at least
been guilty of great negligence to her offspring, but
he thought the jury must stop there, and decline to
find her guilty of a murder.
His LORDSHIP summed up, and pointed out to the
jury the law as it applied to the case before them,
showing the distinction drawn between what consti-
tuted murder and what formed manslaughter.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty of man-
slaughter, and she was sentenced to seven years'
transportation.
William Thomas, aged 23, was placed at the bar,
charged with the wilful murder of his mother, Eliza-
beth Thomas, at Prenton, near Birkenhead, on the
31st of July last.
The prisoner pleaded "Not guilty," and on being
placed at the bar his countenance did not indicate any
of those symptoms of insanity which have been im-
puted to him. He maintained a stoical indifference
to his situation as the trial proceeded, but occasionally
looked frowningly on the different witnesses, and
several times cast expressive glances at the Learned
Counsel and the witnesses when particular questions
were asked, as if taking especial interest in them.
Mr. DAVISON stated the case on behalf of the pro-
secution. the court being unusually crowded at the
time. He said that the prisoner at the bar was in-
dicted for the wilful murder of Elizabeth Thomas,
and it was his painful duty to tell the jury that the
deceased Elizabeth Thomas was his own mother. It
was right, however, to relieve their minds from the
painful feeling which the bare mention of such a
crime was calculated to excite by tolling

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH STREET.

Captain Ackerley was summoned before Mr.
Bingham to show cause why he detained certain
papers belonging to Pierre Basquet, an Indian chief.
The complainant, on previous application at this
court, explained to the magistrate that he had certain
claims upon, or representations to make to, the Colo-
nial-office on behalf of himself and tribe, relative to
certain lands of which they bad been dispossessed;
that he had come to England about thirteen months
ago to prosecute those claims; that, unluckily, he
was seen in the street on his way to the Colonial-
office by Captain Ackerley ; that he was induced to
place himself and papers in the hands of Captain
Ackerley, who undertook to use his influence with
Government to get justice done to himself and people ;
that he had discovered, after some months' delay, he
had made a mistake in allowing Captain Ackerley
to have anything to do with his business ; and that,
being now desirous of returning home, he bad applied,
but in vain, for the restoration of his papers, some of
which were official.
Captain Ackerley came to the court at an early
hour, and obtained summonses against several gentle-
men connected with the Colonial and Government
offices. The only summons which Police-constable
Robarts could serve was a summons addressed to a
gentleman named Elliott.
At three o'clock, Captain Ackerley having made
his appearance with a considerable number of papers,
Mr. BINGHAM requested he would tell him shortly
why he detained the papers?—Captain Ackerley
proceeded to say that in 1851 he met the man Pierre
Basquet in the street, and bearing in mind that in
1820 be had been sworn in sponsor for the Indians ;
that on the occasion of taking an Indian to the Bay
of Exploits he had been told to pull off his uniform,
and to perform service as a clergyman, that he had so
performed service for some time, but in consequence
of the Indian being turned cut into the open air,
death ensued; and having sent a report to Lord Dal•
bousie, and afterwards received his commission as
lieutenant, he came to England, and was put into the
rules of the peace for Middlesex and Worcester.
At this point of the story Mr. Vaughan interposed,
and reminded the Captain it would be advisable to
come to the case of Pierre Basquet without further
delay.

Captain Ackerley said, he saw Pierre Basquet in
the street, and, being of opinion his duties as Indian
sponsor came into requisition, he took charge of the
applicant's business. He corresponded with the Co-
lonial-office, and ascertained that Earl Grey had re-
cognised the position of the applicant, giving him the
medal he then wore, and a union-jack to hold as his
emblem of authority, connected with the fisheries.
Being desirous that the correspondence should be con-
ducted in a regular way he had taken charge of it.
Some of the correspondence was regular, and some
irregular. In some of the letters the applicant was
described as " Bosquet," and in others as Basquet."
The consequence of this was that the American Go-
vernment would not recognise him at all, and refused
to defray about 2001. expenses, to which he (Captain
Ackerley) had been put for the maintenance of the
applicant, and for the proper prosecution of
was,his claims.

was anxious to prevent an impression from going
abroad that he had thrown the man off, and had acted
unfairly towards him.
Mr. BINGFIAM—You do not approach the point I
have to decide. You detain the papers of Pierre
Banquet, and you must show me some reason why you
do so. I presumed the reason you would offer would
be that you had done some meritorious services, and
that you detained the papers until you were paid.
Captain Ackerley—That is the real meaning of the
thing.

Mr. BINGHAM—WeII, then, as I have correctly
surmised the truth, there is an end of the matter. No
person has a right to detain papers fur expenses in-
curred except an attorney for expense in a suit of law,
and you are not an attorney.
Captain Ackerley—Oh, but I am an attorney.
Mr. BINGHAM—Not an attorney such as the law
contemplates. If you have any claim for expenses
you must proceed in a civil court. You cannot de-
tain the papers on that ground.
Captain Ackerley—l, have no claim against

Captain Ackerley immediately restored the papers
and then asked if he was still bound to maintain the
applicant ?
Mr. BINGHAM said the applicant had no claim upon
Captain Ackerley for maintenance. The course for
Captain Ackerley to take was to deliver the applicant
to the relieving-officer, who would no doubt do his
duTtyh.e
chief having expressed no reluctance to accede
to this proposition, Captain Ackerley left the tour
with him.
