was fixed on the pi coner. A constable, who went in
seach of her, found her at Sier's house. On seeing
him coming towards the door she ran to Mrs. Sier's
bed-room, end quietly dropped the purse behind Mrs.
Sier, who was lying in bed. The constable, however,
was too sharp for her, and saw what she had done,
and on telling Mrs. Sier of it and desiring her to get
up, the purse was found behind the bed. On being
searched upwards of 401. in sovereigns,half-sovereigus,
half-crewns, and shillings, were ionnd in her picket,
and en being tasked where or how she came by them,
she Enid they had been given to her by her father.
It was proved that her tether was a small collier, in
a comfortable condition, who hid recently bought a
small allotment of land, and was about to buy some
more, but the father himself was not called by the
Crown or the prisoner to prove' or disprove the truth
of her statement. Amongst the money found upon
her were the peculiar half-sovereign or half-guinea,
the shilling marked with the letters " S. B." and two
penny-pieces, which Mrs. Gurney believed to be the
two she had lest. When the constable was taking
the prisoner to the :tatioe, across the fields, she asked
him to say no more than he could help respecting
her attempt to conceal the money.
Before the case for the prosecution had closed, two
of the jurors expressed a wish that his Lordship would
prevent more evidence being given, es they were
quite prepared to find her guilty. The trial, how •
ever, proceeded. Being convicted, but recommended
to mercy on account of her youth, she was sentenced
to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour.
On hearing the sentence she was greatly affected, and
was overheard to say that she would be better pleased
to be transported for life.
It is proper to add that at the late quarter-sessions
for this county a pretty, interesting young girl, named
Wilks, was convicted of a theft similar to the above,
on the evidence of the prisoner. On leaving the ser-
vice of Mrs. Gurney, Jordan went into that of a Mrs.
Sleed, the widow of a clergyman residing at Glouces-
ter, who soon after began to miss money; and one
evening coming home unexpectedly, found the young
man Sier in the house, and ordered both servants at
once to leave, but before they left-, finding her escre-
toire forced open, and twenty sovereigns taken
out, sent for the police and instituted a search.
As the search proceeded, Jordan suggested
that they should search Wilks's box and
room, and on the search being made, the twenty sove-
reigns were found between the box and the wall.
Wilks was thereupon taken into custody, and was
committed for trial by the magistrates. Jordan was
the chief witness against her, and stated so many and
such important facts against her that when she came
to be tried at the quarter-sessions, her friends thought
her guilt so clear and her case so hopeless, that they
advised her to plead guilty, but this she obstinately
refused to do, making the most solemn protestations of
her
innocence. The case was called on. Jordan ap-
peared as a witness against her, and repeated her
former statement with such skill 11 cleverness, that
notwithstanding there were
manya circumstances of
suspicion connected with the case for the prosecution,
the jury found her guilty, and she wasr.tien tenced to a
year's imprisonment with hard Thoselabou who
heard the two trials entertain great doubts whether
Wilks's case the jury did not come to an erroneous
conclusion.
• William Giles was indicted for wilful and corrupt
perjury committed at Cheltenham on the 14th of April
last.

Mr. Gray conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Cooke
defended the prisoner.
The perjury was alleged to have been committed in
an affidavit made by the prisoner in a case of ‘, page
v. Caustins," an action for adultery, on a motion for
new trial. In order to show that after the fact of the
adultery bad come to the knowledge of the plaintiff he
condoned or forgave it, the prisoner swore that on the
subsequent day—viz., the 9th of October, 1850, be
saw the plaintiff and his wife together at the Saluta-
tion lon, Cheltenham. The plaintiff himself, and two
other witnesses swore, that on that day the plaintiff
went at an early hour from his house, at Cheltenham,
by the train, through Jessop's nursery grounds, to
London, and that from the time he lett his house till
he reached the station she was not with him, and bad
not been in his house for some weeks. It was elicited
in cro3s-examination that the plaintiff and his wife
were seen together at the Paddington station on
the 11th.

For the defence it was contended that it was pos-
sible that the prisoner might have seen them near the
Salutation, and that that was what he meant by say-
ing he saw them at it. _

The jury, after considering for twenty minutes,
asked wnat was the shortest distance from the Salu-
tation Inn to the nearest part of the way which led
from tlie plaintiff's hone through Jessop 6 garden to
the railway station, and on being told it was 100 yards
they expressed a wish to withdraw.
After an übsonce of half an hour they returned
with a verdict, of Guilty.
S,ratence, one year's imprisonment, with hard
labour.

WESTERN CIEGUIT.— Wells, Aug. 9.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.)
Thomas Boarne, surgeon of Mdstock, was indicted
for the manslaughter of Ann Noakes.
Ann Noakes, the woman whose death the prisoner
was accused of causing, was the wife of a man iu
humble circumstances, a miner living at Strascombe.
She was about 43 years of age. She had been mar-
ried several years, and had no fewer than eleven
children. On the 20,h of Jane last her confinement
was approaching, and about half-past three or four in
the afternoon she was taken in labour. Some fe-
male neighbours were called in, and on examination
it was found that a "false presentation" had oc-
curred. The prisoner, who had attended her be-
fore, was sent tor. He endeavoured to alter the pre-
sentation, but in vain. About four a messenger
arrived with the information that Mrs. Packer, the
wife of a respectable and wealthy farmer living two
miles from his house, was taken in labour, and that
he must proceed to her assistance. No sooner did. he
hear this than the prisoner said he must go, saying
that he had been bespoken by Mrs. Parker. In this.e
state the prisoner left her against the wishes

fellows, as he had learned they were, brought up here
as parties concerned in such an outrage. Several of
them had received good characters. He also took
into consideration the topic which had been urged on
their behalf, the cry of cheap food, and it would be
well if those who excited such men would look before-
hand before they tried to excite the passions of an un-
governable mob. They had unfortunately been the
