COURT OF INLAND REVE.SUE, Feb. 18.

(Before the COMMIbSIONEII.6.)
Au application was made to the Court this day, on
the part of Sir Henry Meux, Bart., and Co., the
brewers, for the return of the Excise duty of 2s. 7d.
per bushel charged on 235 quarters of malt, under the
following circumstances :
It appeared from the evidence that on the 31st
of October last 325 quarters of malt, manurao
tured by Mr. Crisp, of Beccles, in Suffolk, and
t
on which the Excise duty had been paid, was
on board the Naomi, a trading vessel at that place,
consigned to Sir Henry Meux and Co., brewers,
of London. The vessel proceeded with the same,
but on arriving at the lower part of Long Reach, near
Gravesend, the vessel was run into by a steamer, and
she immediately sunk, with the whole of her cargo.
She was about two days under water, when she was
raised, but, in the meantime, about 100 quarters of
the grain, which was loose in the vessel, had washed
away and was lost, and the remainder was so com-
pletely saturated with salt water, that it was quite
unfit for brewing purposes. An effort wasf rnt
re-dry it, and after bestowing a great deal

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Lancaster, Feb. 17.
The spring assizes for this circuit commenced here
this morning. Mr. Baron Alderson and Mr. Justice
Cresswell arrived here yesterday afternoon, and im-
mediately proceeded to the Castle, and opened the
commission.
Their Lordships having attended Divine Service
this morning, proceeded to the Castle at twelve
o'clock.

Mr. Baron Alderson sat on the criminal side, and
Mr. Justice Cress well at nisi prius.
The cause list contains an entry of six causes only,
two of which are for special juries. The calender
contains the names of thirteen prisoners—one charged
with manslaughter and two with shooting at a game-
keeper, with intent to murder, whilst out night-
poaching ; the rest are charges of larceny and ordi-
nary sessions cases.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice CRESWELL )

ELLIS V. TEIRELFALL.
This was an action to recover 1401. `for work and
labour.
Mr. James and Mr. Monk appeared for the plain-
tiff, and Mr. Sergeant Murphy
and Mr. Segar for the
defendant.
The plaintiff, it appeared, was a machine broker,
accustomed to the machines used for the manufacture
of cotton, and the defendant is a millowner at Preston.
It was alleged by the plaintiff that the defendant's
carding-machines being in a deficient state, and pro-
ducing much waste and an inferior manufacture of
cotton, he was nizaged by the defordant to rvmedy
the mischief, Laid was so occupied for live months,
and by his services improved the defendant's manu-
facture. By the defendant it was urged that the

plaintiff's services were voluntary ; that he was out of
work, and offered to try and improve the defendant's
machinery it the defendant would recommend him to
commissions for others to do the same thing, and that
what he did was in truth valueless.
The Learned Counsel for the plaintiff having re-
plied on this evidence,
His LORDSHIP summed up, and
The jury found a verdict for the defendant.
The cause occupied nearly the whole day.
CROWN COU R r.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)
William Houlker, agkd 36, and William Haworth,
aged 23, were indicted for the manslaughter o► James
Walrusley, at Blackburn, on the 30:h January last•
Mr. WIGHAM prosecuted, the prisoner was unde-
fended.
It appeared from the dying declaration of the un-
fortunate man, taken before a magistrate, that be and
the two prisoners and some others had been drinking
at a beer-shop in Blackburn, and that a quarrel erase
there. As he was leaving the house the prisoner
Houlker seized hold of him, and a scuffle ensued be-
tween them, and whilst this was going on the pri-
soner Haworth kicked him several times on the thigh.
He went home afterwards, and, according to the
testimony of his sitter, was obliged to go to bed nest
day in consequence of an injury to his thigh, of
which he complained, and that he got worse and
worse until he died. Mr. Rogerson, surgeon, was
called in, and found his thigh very much swollen
and distended, and after his death made a post mortem
examination of it, and found a great quantity of
matter collected there. The injury had caused his
death. The deceased was of a very scrofulous con-
stitution.
His LORDSHIP, in summing up, left it to the jury
to say on the evidence whether the prisoners had by
their violence caused the deceased's death.
The jury found both the prisoners Guilty, but
strongly recommended them to mercy.
His LORD4HIP said the verdict was a very VW"'
one, and sentenced Haworth, who inflicted the kick,
to three months' impriscamen', and Houlker to be
imprisoned one month.
