ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE,

HOME CIRCUIL—MAIDSTONE, March 17.
(Before the Lord Chief Baron.)
George Costin, 22, labourer, and Ambrose Lee, 30,
described as a mariner, but who is better known as
" Gipsy Lee," were charged upon an indictment, and
also by a coroner's inquisition, with the wilful mur-
der of John Limes MU. The prisoners were also
charged with robbing the same person, and with
using personal violence to him at the time of the
commission of the robbery.
Mr. Barrow and Mr. Mersham conducted the
prosecution ; Mr. Ribton defended Costin, and Lee
was undefended, but at the request of the Court
Mr. Sharp watched the case:on his behalf.
Although these prisoners were charged with
the serious crime of wilful murder, the case was in
reality merely one of highway robbery, and it was
only by a construction of law that they became
amenable to the more serious charge.
The Chief Baron having summ©d up,
The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty on the
charge of murder.
The prisoners then pleaded Guilty to the charge
of robbery, accompanied by violence, and nentenee
was deferred.
