LAW INTELLIGpiCE.-(THLS DAY.

COURT ,OF KING'S BENCII.
Mr. Emil EA Tour took the oaths of allegiance and
supremacy, on being appointed one of the Barons of the
Exchequer.

TM KING V. LEMAN.—...IIIII(.I4EXT.
The defbnd4nt in this case is a thrgeon resid-
ing at Shefford, in Bedfordshire, and he was con-
victed at the last Assizes for that county of an assault,
with intent to commit violence, on the person of a young
woman named Elizabeth Green; It appeared from the
evidence given by the proireentrix, that, op the.llet of
August, It4P, she had occasion to go to the defendant's
house for the purpose of seeing his sister, tar whom she
was in the habit of working. The defendant opened the
door, Selz ,d her by the arm, and dragged her into the gar-
den, where, after some struggles, be forced her into a
back parlour; he then blew out the li4ht, and com-
mitted the assault complained of. She resisted, and called
out for assistance. On her cross-examination she swore
positively that she had never, on any preceding occasion,
sulked the defendant to take liberties with her ; that no
one had ever told her that Miss Leman was front home on
the night in question ; hot she admitted that the had not
complained of the ill-treatment she experienced from the
defendant until several days afterwards.
For the defence, the maid-servant of the defendant was
called, who swore positively that on the day in question
she hail told the plosecutrix that it was of no use for her
to call that evening, as Miss Leman would he from
home, and also that she had frequently remonstrated
with her on the impropriety of her conduct, in
allowing the defendant to take such liberties with her.
Another witness, who lived next door to the defendant
was culled, and stated that on the night of the assault
complained of he saw Mr. Leman standing at his door.
When the prosecutor went up and spoke to him he re-
pulsed her, and she went away. Shortly afterwards she
returned, and went through the shop 'into the surgery.
Wiz curiosity was in consequence excited, and he watched
their proceedings, when he saw the prosecutor sitting on
the defendant', knee, and heard them whispering, and
had there been the slightest call, or alarm it would have
been impossible for him not to have heard it. The
Jury, hnwever, returned a verdict of Guilty.
Lord Txrerzanix asked the defendant if he had Coun-
sel on his trial ?

The defendant said,-Mr. Serjeant STORKS conducted his
defence, but acting under that Learned Gentle Man's ad-
vice, and nn account of his poverty, he bad not gone to
the expect:* of retaining Counsel on the present occasion.
The verdict occasioned the greatest surprise to every one
in the Court, and Mr. Serjeant Starks advised him to
throw- himself upon their Lordship's mercy.
Lord Totteraungx—Would you wish to move for a new
trial? The defendant answered in the negative, when
the Court said they were ready to hear what be had to
say in mitigation of sentence.

The defendant then at great length addressed the Court,
and remarked upon the evidence adduced on the trill.
Their Lordships corrollted for some time, when
Mr. Justice J. PARKE addressing the elefendant, said
that the Court were of opinion that the justice of the case
would he met, by ordering the defendant to pay a fine of
one shilling to the King.

The fine was paid, and the defendant discharged.

Although the accounts from France are of a warlike
nature, the well-informed are of opinion that the various
Powers on the Continent are only taking self precaution&
England and France being at present united in a good un-
derstanding, no Power on the Continent dare venture on
hostile measures without their previous consent.

NORFOLK.--Last Thursday, the High She-
riff, the Ron. U. J. illur.Las, rode iato the market, and:re-
quested the farmers to follow him to Ifeydon, where it was
stated from 1,500 to 2,000 rioters had assembled, and
were with great difficulty dispersed. Thrashing machine♦
have been broken in every direction; indeed, in that dis-
trict, the country was never known to be in a more die-
Curbed state by any one of the oldest inhabitants.

It is stated positively that the Right Hon. C.
W. WV NW ie to be the Secretary at W4r.—Morning
Advertiser.

We have been given to understand that stran.
gers are traversing the country as if under a commission
from some central band of ruffians, to excite the labouring
poor. to acts of. outrage. They generally travel on horse-
back, or In buggies, sometimes in post-chaise.; and their
custom is to, enters village, put up at the publio.hou►e,.
and then proceed to make inquiries about the fanning con-
cerns of the parish, and to take surveys of the farm-
houses and homesteads. These itinerants are the forerun-
ners of tumult and mischief; threatening letters follow
next, .and then come violence and outrage. Strangers.
coming into towns and villages, and conducting themselves
in this way, should be questioned ay to their business, and
as to where they come from, and where they are going to;
and if they cannot give a good, account of themselves,
they should be detained and brought before the nearest
Magistrate, to be dealt with according to the Vagrant Act.
Special attention: should be paid to their pockets and par-
cels, that they an iy not conceal or tletttroy what they have
in their possession..-- o.ifortl Journal.
