ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Stafford, July 26.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice Wuziams,)
Thomas Smith, aged 25, was indicted for wilfully and
maliciously throwing a s,cone upon a railway carriage of
the London and NortheciTestern Company, at Darlaston,
on the 16th of Febrteery last, with intent to endanger the
safety of the passe-tigers.
Mr. GRACE e'undueted the prosecution.
A labourer, named Yates, stated that he saw the pri-
soner and tenother man standing on n bridge over the
railway, 'about two miles from Birmingham, on the
evening, of the day in question. The prisoner stooped
dorm and picked up something of the size of a hat, the
other men did the same, and as a train passed underneath
ttiey threw them over the bridge. The witness hedrd the
bump, and ran to the spot, shouting, "Halloo, what arc
you doing there?" when the prisoner said, "I will tell
you," and knocked him down with a stick, and ran
away with his companion. The guard of the Liver-
pool and London express train stated that, on the ar-
rival in Birmingham of the train which passed Darlaston
at the time the prisoner was seen at the bridge, a com-
plaint was made to him of something having been
thrown on the roof of the carriage, and, on an examina-
tion in London, a stone, nearly 3001 b. weight was dis-
covered buried in the tarpaulin on the top of the second
carriage. The prisoner was taken into custody on the
17th of March, in a hovel, at a coal•pit near Wolver-
hampten. On being charged with throwing a stone on
a railway train, he replied, " That is about a month
ago; I have been here three weeks."
The jury convictera him, and he was sentenced to one
year's impriaontne,nt with hard labour.
It was stated 'oy the counsel for the prosecution that
offences of thie description bad become very numerous.

gun from a shelf, tuid discharged it at his wife. The
shot entered her cheek, reeking one large wound end
several small ones. She fell down, the wound bled pro-
fusely, and she was in darger for some time. The pri-
soner immediately left home and returned to the pub-
lic-house, where he bad a few minutes before invited a
policeman to have a glue of ale. That policeman,
hearing the report of a gun, went towards the prisoner's
house, and met the prisoner, who said to him, " I have
shot the drunken -" The policemen went on,
and
.finding what had had occurred, returned to the
pubis house, where he found the prisoner standing with
his bauk to the fire-platr. He apprehended him, and
the prisoner, WI he was going to the station, asked if she
wits dead, and also said that he had loaded the gun
the intention of doing it three weeks before, but his
couragi, failed him. To another constable he said, "I
wish her --- hi ad was in hell ;" and the constable re-
Not so; she is not dead," he enswercd, "I
wish she was; she bee been a toflnent to me; she, is a
drunkard and a dirty woman." The prisoner was in a
stn ,0 of great excitement at this time.
The prosecutrix, in givine her evidence, said that he
had always been a good husband to her, and that when
he loaded the gun, three weeks net• re, she believed that
b, did it for the purpose of shooting pigeons.
A considerable number of witnesses gave him a good
cearacter as a quiet, het-Ilene man.
Mr. O'BRIEN, on behalf of the prisoner, urged upon
the jury that they could not find him guilty of the first
and more serious intent laid in the indictment, as he
evidently was sit the time so excited by liquor that he
was h.irdly in a condition to form any intention; and the
prosecutrix clearly did not suppose him to have been
actuated by any feelings of deliberate ill-will against her.
The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the jury having
found him guilty of the whole charge.
His LORDSHIP observed that he could not interfere to
protect the prisoner from, that punishment which the
law had assigned to his offence; and accordinOt pro-
ceeded in the usual form to pass sentence of death upon
the prisoner.

The jury, after the sentence had been pronounced,
expressed, as we understood, a hope that the sentence
would not be carried into effect.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WORSHIP-STREET.
William Smith and Thomas Curtis, both of whom were
well known to the police, were placed at the bar before
Mr. D'Eyncourt, charged with having entered the
dwelling-house of a gentleman named Winskill, at Dal-
ston.green, by means of skeleton keys, and stolen nu-
merous articles of jewellery, a gold and silver watch, and
other valuable property.
Police-constable Newport, N 283, stated that while on
duty at Dalston, between eleven and twelve o'clock on
the preceding morning, he received information from a
lady residing on the green, that two men had just before
effected an entrance into the house of the prosecutor,
who was absent at church with his family, and finding
that the street-door was fastened on the inside, witness
obtained permission from a gentleman named Lloyd, re-
siding at the adjoining house, to make his way through
his passage to the back of the premises. After scaling
the garden wall, he entered the prosecutor's house at
the back door, which he found open, and not observing
anything to attract his attention down stairs, he pro-
ceeded as stealthily as possible to a bed- room on the
second floor, where he discovered the two prisoners,
who were busily engaged in ransacking sthe contents
of two boxes which they had broken open, and
placed upon the bed. He instantly advanci-d
towards them, and seized hold of Smith, with
whom he was engaged in a violent struggle, when
the prisoner Curtis made a rush to the window,
which he flung open, and dropped into the street;
but the moment he reached the ground he we grappled
with, and secured by Mr. Lloyd, who tied taken up his
e
position in front of the premiinee. 'I he prisoners were
then conveyed to the station-house, but, while proceed-
ing to that place, the prisoner Curtis furtively dropped
a gold and a silver watch, both of which were secured
and subsequently identified by the prosecutor as his
property. On steeling them at the station-house, three
gold finger rings, a pair of earrings, three gold seals,
undo five watch keys, and two formidable knives,
were found in their possession; and on a more minute
examination of the apartment in which they w ro dis-
covered, three small crow-bars, with which the drawers
and boxes had evidently been forced, were found lying
on. the floor.
Mr. Richard Lloyd, the gentleman who had rendered
such efficient asstetaoce in the capture of the prisoners,
and other witnesses, fully corroborated the evidence of
the officer, and
The prosecutor stated that he carefully secured the
premises before he left home with his family, but on
returning from church at two o'clock, he found the
police in possession of the place, and ascertained, on
reaching his bed-room., that not satisfied with breaking
open and despoiling all the drawers and boxes of the
most valuable portion of their contents, the whole of
which had been recovered by the officers, the prisoner
Smith had removed the silver ornaments and fittings of
his dressing-case, which had also been found secreted
about his person.
The prisoners reserved their defence, and were both
committed to Newgate for trial.
THAMES.
Danlon, Anthony Carroll, Join Simon, and
James Donnar, wore brought before Mr. Iceman
charged with assaulting and kicking several German
amid Italian seamen in the Three Crowns public- house
in Upper East Smithfield, on Sunday night. A Dutch
seamen named Van Siayte, belonging to the Katherina
Una,, lying in the river, who had been very savagely
beaten by the Americans, appeared with his head and
face bound up, and one of his eyes was swollen and
closed.
It appeared from the evidence of the parties who had
been assaulted, and of Mr. Martin, George, the landlord
of the Three Crowils, and the prisoners and other Ame-
rsitcaaten,and
seamen entered the house in a riotous and drunken
without any provocation attacked attacked
other seamen who were quietly enjoying themselves over
their pipes
and their grog. Three of the prisoners
assailed the Dutchman, and struck at him right and left.
• Ono of the Americans kicked him about the head, face,
and body, and to use his own words, " blocked his eye
up, and made a gap in his head." Some of the Ame
ricans trod upon him, and rendered him quite senseless.
A German, named Gottlieb Niebuhr, the boatswain of
the Katherina Una, went to the assistance of his ship-
mate, and he was also knocked down, and kicked and
beaten in the same manner. Mr. George, the landlord,
entered the room where the affray was going on,. and
found three Americans on the man Niebuhr and pum-
melling him unmercifully. Ile succeeded, with the as-
sistance of his waiters and barman,. in taking the three
men off the German, and Mr. George 'was attacked in
turn and.very roughly handled. The affray then be-
came general, and a desperate conflict took place in the
public house. Two police .constables, named Abel Stms
and Thomas Wells, Nos. 168 and 243 H, were called in,
and they came in for a share of the blows so freely dealt
by the American, and Simon got his fingers on 5t336
throat and nearly strangled him. Sims was obliged to
use his truncheon, and disabled the
_prisoner by a tre-
mendous blow on the shoulder. Atter a tremendous
fight the Americans were worsted, several of them fled,
and the prisoners were secured. It eves admitted that
Donner took a subordin tte part in the affray, and that
although he had struck one of the Feiceineu be bed
previously remoueraied with his countrymen on their
cowardice in kicking and trampling on the Dutchman.
Three of the prisonrs, in their defence, said the
Germans sod Italians in the Three Crowns were the
aggressors, and that their witneezes were on board the
Victoria.
Mr. Indium said he would postpone the case end send
for them, but the Americans preferred an immediate de-
cision, and said they were drunk on Sunday twi-41.6

fendant placed the poisoned meat in the wood by the

Accmaling to the plaintiff's evidence the defendant had
warned him that if he went into the wood in question, as
he had long been in the habit of doing, the defendant
would punish him; but the plaintiff insisted that he had
as muchi right there as the defendant. However, it ap-
peared that on Saturday, the 28th of FebruarY the
plaintiff was out with hid doge in the neighbourhood' of
this wood, which is situates' at Allesley, a few miles
