EVENING, MARCH 11, 1852.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORFOLK ClRCLUT.—fiuntingdon, March 10.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord CAMPBELL.)
THE RA.VELY BERGILLIM—John Titman, James
Stokes, and John Hall were indicted for burglariously
entering the house of Thomas Fairley, at Great Rave-
ley, on the 24th of October, 1851, and stealing therein
a quantity of property. The indictment also charged
that they used violence towards the prosecutor.
Mr. Toz,,r appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Wells
defended Ti'man and Stokes; Mr. Metcalfe appeared
for John Hall.

.This was a burglary which excited considerable sen-
sation throughout this county and the parts adjoining
Raveley, which have of late been infested by a des-
perate gang of burglars and robbers, among whom
John Hall played a prominent part. Within the
last two years several serious outrages have
been committed without detection; and as impunity
gave confidence each new offence became more
remarkable for its atrocity than its immediate prede-
cessor, till at length Hall and some of his confederates
determined to attack the dwelling of Mr. Fairley, the
bailiff of Mr. Hussey Hussey, Great Raveley. As
they knew him, according to the statement of one of the
prisoners proved today, to be either a Scotelinaan or en
Irishman, they fully expected that " they would be
banged at," and they accordingly pravided themselves
with all sorts of weapons, including guns and pistols.
Indeed, from the detailed accounts of their proceedings
which we subjoin in the words of Mr. Fairley, it would
appear that the burglars of Huntingdonshire had not
been unmindful of passing events among the most "civi-
lised nation" of Europe, bat seem to have profited by the
exploit of a celebrated French general at the caves of
Debra. With these introductory remarks we proceed to
give the evidence of Mr. Fairley.
Thomas Fairley—l live with my wife m a lone house
at Great Raveley, and on the 24th of October we were
alone in it. We retired to bed at ten o'clock, when
all the fastenings were secure as usual. At eleven
o'clock I was disturbed from my sleep by a crash against
the backdoor, which sounded like thunder. I Jumped
up and ran to the window, out of which I looked and
called; but no ono answered me, nor did I see any one.
All was silent for awhile, and I went to the bed-room
door, which stood open at the top of the stairs leading
down to the passage parting the parlour and kitchen.
Just as I got there I saw a light, which showed me the
features of a man's face just behind it. He was standing
at the bottom of the stairs, near the kitchen door. I
said, "Be aware! lam armed." I had a revolving
pistol in my hand, and I had guns in the room also. As
soon as I spoke the man blew out the light, and with-
drew to the kitchen. As I looked down I saw a man in
the kitchen, and I at once fired at him, but missed him
He called out, " Oh, oh, do you keep those things up
there, eh?" and then he fired at me with a pistol. It
was not a gun, because he durst not come out to aim
with a gun. The man called out to me to come down.
I heard the voices of more than one man. The voice
called out, " Come down," repeatedly. I told him to
"come up." A man said, "It is no use to contend;
there are ten of us." I fired again. They never showed
themselves except to peep with their faces and to
fire with their hands out of the kitchen. In
a minute following the men fired again. They fired
three times with a pistol and twice with a gun. As
they could not get at me so, I heard ono say, " Bring in
straw;" and another brought some bean straw from the
yard, which they thrust in at the foot of the stairs with
a pole, as they dared not show their bodies. They
lighted the straw with the leaves of the Holy Bible,
which was in the closet of the kitchen. I saw the lighted
papers thrown on to the straw out of the kitchen door.
A great many leaves were torn out of the Bible. This
kindled the straw. I was almost suffocated with the
smoke. Mrs. Fairley was with me all the time. I had
fired four times. I was struck ence on the thigh by
one of their shots. As the men could not get at me
they broke open the'parlour window and threw down the
door of the room.on to the fire. The parlour is on the left
and the kitchen on the right as you enter. Whea the
smoke was most suffocating my wife dragged me away to
the window. I was just about to expire. I put my head
out and got a little fresh air. I can't describe the feelings
I felt when I got my head out and breathed the fresh air.
As I held my head out I saw a man in the yard with a
gun or pistol, which ho pointed to me. I drew in my
head, and dissuaded my wife from putting her head out
of the window, against which stones, gravel, and broken
bottles had been before that thrown in plenty. My wife
went back into the room, which was as full of smoke as it
could be. I took my place again at the stair-head. She
came and said, " I must go down. I may as well die
there as here," and ran down stairs. She could not
breathe. There was a light down and voices below when
she ran down. I heard her scream out very loud three
times. I fired again after that, and a man said, "If you
fire again we'll shoot your wife as she stands." I then
weighed it in my mind, and said, "I will give up."
They seemed to doubt me at first, but ono came half
into the passage dancing about, and said to me, " Where
is that thing you had in your hand?" I said, " I have
thrown it into the garden," but I had not. Two men
then came up in about five minutes. There was less
smoke then. One held a candle. Both their faces were
covered with cloth masks. I knew those men quite well.
They were Taman and Hall. I had not seen them be-
fore to my knowledge. They took the clothes off the
bed, and the feather-bed too, and matresses. They be-
gan to ransack the drawers, and one said, with an oath,
"Go down." I went down, and saw a man standing at
a table in the kitchen overhauling my desk. That man
is not here. He has not yet been taken. I saw
Stokes also down stairs, standing guard over
my wife, who was shut in the closet. These
men asked questions about the things in my desk.
Stokes was not masked. He had a pistol in one hand,
and a gun in the other. In about ten minutes the two
men came down, and I was ordered up with my wile.
Titman bad a poker, and struck at my head. I caught
the blow on my arm as I went up stairs. He had not
his mask on then, but I did not recognise his face then.
He repeated his blow with the poker twice, and struck
me across the back so as to deprive me of my senses for
a while. I caught hold of my wife's gown to steady
myself, and said, " They have done for me now." The
bed-room was all strewed with the contents of the
drawers. My wife led me to the bed, and I sat down.
Taman and Stokes came up soon after with a light. I
saw their faces then. They asked for the bread—and
my wife told them to "look for it." They went down
and came up again in ten minutes or a quarter of an
hour. They collected some of the things, and took
thtm and a gun down stairs. They did not come up
again, and left the hoase close on three o'clock. I had
some whisky and currant wine, which they drank a
great deal of.
.There was not much whisky, but they
drank and carried away about eighteen bottles of the
wine altogether. They took away a gun, a pistol, a
coat, two waistcoats, two watches, six silver spoons, a
quantity of plated spoons, and some gunpowder. I have
seen a coat and waistcoat since. I got assistance as soon
as they went away.
Cross-examined—l identified Titman and Stokes as
as soon as I saw thera next morning. I had never seen
them before. The fire was lighted to smoke us out. They
put water on the straw at my request, which increased
the smoke.

Mary Fairley—l am the wife of the last witness. I
remember the smoke coming up stairs. I went to the
window for air alone first. A man in the yard threw
stones at me. I flung out some money to him. I after-
wards ran down from the smoke. A man told me to go
into the closet. I was unwilling to go in, but ho pointed
a gun and a pistol at my head, and I then went in.
Octavius Wright—l heard of the robbery at Mr. Fair-
ley's at a qnarter to three in the morning. I live a mile
off. I and the constable Woodcock went to Mr. Fair-
ley's sou to call him, and then, at five, we went to Mr.
Fairley's. About a mile and a half from the houso we
found Stokes lying asleep across a dyke on the road
side. We awoke him and took him into custody. He
had his gun, which we took possession of, and a cloth
mask in his inside pocket. He felt for his cap, and I
saw him slip the mask out of his pocket on the road as
we were leading him along. This is it (the article pro-
duced was one end of a linen bsg, through which two or
three holes or rents appeared to have been made; and
must, when worn, have covered the whole of the head
and shoulders). We afterwards found Titman asleep on
the road, about half-a-mile from Mr. Fairley's. Some
cheese, a bottle of wino, two masks, clothes, and a case
knife, some ceps and powder, were taken from him.
Edward Phillips, a labourer, heard of the robbery,
and proved the finding of Titman and Stokes. The
identification of the property found on these men hav-
ing been clearly made out, further evidence was given,
from which it appeared that Stokes at once made a full
statement, implicating John Hall, who had immediately
decamped with his mistress, Jane Spechly, and remained
untraced till February last, when an acquaintance met
him at Nottingham, and gave information to the police,t
in
St.
which led to his capture. On his being taken to
Ive's station, he not only admitted his shares
transaction,9but made a long statement of his
of s
pasttho
ca-
reer, showing that he was the heart and soul
nu-
merous outrages already alluded to, the result of which
was that a man named Langston, and two others—viz.,
Humberstone and Stretton, all of whombwi::re
terday, when Langston was acquitted tbterieodtbyeerss-
convicted, were taken into custody.

CA3II3RIDGE, MARCH 10.
At three o'clock the commission for this county was
duly opened by Lord Campbell, who, we hear, will find
it difficult to do the work of both courts.
i !In the Crown Court there are 18 caes, of somewhat
serious dye chiefly we hear, and one indictment against
a gentleman for obstructing the passage to a Methodist
chapel, which is expected to occupy a day ; and on the
Civil side, besides the ordinary business, there is a
quo warranto to try the election of a member of a local
board of health, which will resolve itself into a scrutiny:

OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Worcester, March 9.
CROWN COUT.—(Bc•fore Ur Baron PLATT )
FOPGERY.—JO.7iah 7Ne indit..ted for forgin,,-; a
c,romissory note for 15/, with intent to defraud one
Denis Crowley.
Mr. Kettle conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Powell
the defence.

The prosecutor kept a small huxter's shop at Kid-
derminster, and in December last the prisoner and his
father called on him and told him they were entitled to
property worth 25,0001., which they would receive on
paying an attorney 15/. as his charges for obtaining it.
On these representations he lent them 15/. on their joint
promissory note at seven days. He did not irquire
where the property seas, but inquired who the attorney
was, but was satisfied on being told that it was a pro-
found secret, and that they were not authorised to
disclose it. The money was not paid when the note he•
came due, nor did the prosecutor ask for it for a month.
When meeting the prisoner in the street, he spoke to
him on the subject, and was told that if he (the prisoner)
could got another 151. he should receive the money the
next day. The prosecutor accordingly told the prisoner
that if he would come to his house, and bring a pro-
missory note of one of several persons whom he (the
prosecutor) named, he would advance him the money. The
prisoner carne in the evening, and the prosecutor was
about to discuss the matter with him in the shop, when he
said they must not transact the business there, as they
might be watched by the opposite party, but must go
into a private room, and they went up-stairs into a room,
which served at once for the prosecutor's bed-room and
sitticg-room, and there the prosecutor, in the presence of
his daughter, a girl of 18, gave him 151, and received
the note in question, purporting to be signed by a Mr.
Blundell, who was an extensive miller in the neighbour-
hood, to whom the prosecutor was indebted, and whose
handwriting he well knew. In a few days after he met
Mr. Blundell, who, on the matter being mentioned to
him, said he had never given such a note. It did not
appear that the prosecutor took any proceedings on this
until the time when the note was about to bscome due,
whe❑ he met Mr. Blundell again, and told him that the
prisoner and his friends were about to settle the matter.
This the prisoner was unable to do, and thereupon he
was given into custody. The prosecutor's wife proved
that the prisoner came into the shop and then went up
stairs on the day alluded to. The main ground of do-
fence was, that the prosecutor was in such wretched cir-
cumstances that he could nut lend the money; that he
well knew the handwriting of Mr. Blundell, and could
not therefore be misled as to the genuineness of the
note; and that his story was altogether incredible.
His LORDSIIIP summed up strongly for a conviction.
The jury deliberated for a short time, and then re-
turned a verdict of Guilty.
Sentence—Ten years' transportation.

N 01? T HE I.?N Cl lICUIT.—York, March 9.
The North and East Ridings list of causes has been
published to-day, and there is an entry of t 3 causes, or
in all (including the West Riding list) 49 causes, which
is an unprecedentedly small amount of civil business for
York. 'This, however, is not all the gentlemen of the
bar have to be content with; the list, in addition, is a
most " rotten list," the causes one after another drop-
ping through, and being disposed of as undefended, at
a great rate.

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice CRESWELL )
James Sewell, John Johnson, and Thomas Dohei ty were
charged with having, at Let ds, on the 19th of December
last, assaulted and robbed William Watson.
The jury, after deliberating for a short time, returned
a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners.

His Lonnie'D then sentenced each of them to 15
years' transportation.
During the passing of the sentence Sewell acknow-
ledged his guilt, and said ho knew he was a thief and a
great villain, and begged the judge to give him two
years on bread and water, but to let him dio in his own
country. His interruptions of the judge wero so loud
and frequent as almost to render inaudible what was
said. Ho then pretended to swoon, and was carried by
three men out of the dock, shrieking out, " Oh, my
mother! oh, my mother!"
William Mums and William Penny were indicted
for forgery at Bradford, on the 29th of September last.
The jury retired, and after a short absence found both
prisoners Guilty.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Before )fir. Baron ALDERSON.)
MACNOTTS7 V. MASON.
This was an action on the case for seduction.
Mr. Qusin appeared for the plaintiff; the case was
undefended.
The plaintiff, it appeared, is a musician at Shcfffid,
and a poor man, having a daughter now aged 17, whom
he was anxious to send out to service. The defendant is
a plumber and glazier, also living in Sheffield, advanced
in years, and married. The defendant has a shop re-
quiring attention, behind which is a small room, and in
plaintiff gladly eccepted this offer, and his daughter
October, 1850, he offered to take the plaintiff's daughter
into his service to mind his shop, paying her 3s. a week.
The
went into the defendant's service ; she had been there
about a month, when the defendant began to take liber-
ties with her, and promising her marriage on the death
of his wife, succeeded in effecting her ruin in the little
back room behind his shop. This intimacy was kept
up for some time, until the plaintiff's daughter becoming
pregnant, the defendant suddenly discharged her.
A witness was called, who corrobarated a portion of
the girl's statement; and

The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages, 601

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
130 W-STREET.
Richard Mendy, a driver of one of the Pimlico omni-
buses, was brought before Mr. Henry, charged with
furiously driving through the Strand, and endangering
the lives of the passengers thereby.
Mr. John F. Williams, patent felt manufacturer, of
19, Bun hill-row, St. Luke's, stated that shortly before
seven o'clock in the evening he got into an omnibus at
the Mansion-house, to proceed westward, and in a few
minutes perceived that the driver commenced racing
and edging with a Westminster omnibus going in the
same direction, and in that manner they proceeded
through the streets until they arrived opposite Bedford-
street, in the Strand, when he suddenly found himself
lying on his back in the middle of the carriage way.
On partially recovering from the shuck he discovered
that the vehicle had come in contact with a coal cart
that stood within a few inches of the kerb, on the proper
side of the road, and that the entire of the omnibus had
been rent asunder, the fore part being severed and
dashed to pieces, while the hinder part was left about
twenty yards distant, resting, in atoms, on the wheels.
There happened to be only another passenger sitting
opposite, who escaped miraculously without any material
injury; but had there been females inside, the conse-
quences might have been most serious, owing solely to
she prisoner's wanton and furious driving.
Constable 154 F said that, seeing a crowd collected,
he went up, and found the complainant much affected
from the shock he had received. The prisoner, who
was standing near the pole, was quite drunk, and the
omnibus was totally shattered to pieces.
Another constable proved that he assisted in removing
the fragments, which were subsequently carted away by
Mr. Rickets, the proprietor. The prisoner could scarcely
walk upright on being taken into custody.
The prisoner denied the charge of furious driving,
and said the', had the passengers who rode outside
come forward, they could satisfactorily prove that the
collision did not take place through any wanton conduct
on his part.
Mr. llnNitY ho was seldom called upon to adju-
dicate worse case of the kind. It was a merciful
upon a
circumstance that the omnibus was not loaded with
passengers, the greater part of whom might have been
female:. When such reckless driving took place, at
such an hour, in one of the most frequented thorough-
fares, it should be put a stop to by inflicting a well-
merited punishment. The prisoner would therefore be
commiticd for two months to hard labour; in addition,
to have his licence revoked, ss he could not be considered
fit to act in the same capacity in future.
