ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

THETFORD, MARcit £6.

John Simmonds was indicted for burglariously
breaking and entering the dwelling-house of David
Harvey, at Thorp, on the 2d of January last, and
stealing therein a watch, a sword, a half sovereign,
and other 'monies, the property of Harvey.

From the statement of Mr. Evans, and the evi-
dence, this appeared to be a case of great 'atrocity.
The prosecutor was a labourer residing at Thorp,
and about two o'clock in the moraing of the 2d of
January, he was alarming on bearing the steps of
some persons on the stairs leading to his bed-room.
He instantly got out of bed, and went to the room
of a lodger in his house, when he heard the thieves
close at hand, and hastened back to his own room
and bolted the door. He then heard one of the
robbers call to the others, " your eyes, come
along straight forward." Prosecutor, who had been
a soldier, drew his swtwel and stood behind his door,
which was forced open by three men without.—
Three men then entered his room, at whom he made
several thrusts with his sword, and instantly received
a severe blow on his head from a bludgeon, which
felled him, and one of the men got on to him, and kept
him down, and struck him several times again. They
next demanded his money, or they would have his
life : to which he replied he had none ; on which one
of the men said, " Let's get a knife and cut his
throat, if he won't give his money." The prosecutor
then told them that if they would let him get up,
he would give them some money ; but he was so
weak fro.n the beating he had received that he could
not rise till the man who had lain upon him assisted
him and led him to his bed side, where he gave him
his watch. Upon this, one of the others came up and
said, " The watch ar'n't no use ; money we want,
and money we'll have, and if he won't give his
money we'll cut his throat." Hearing this, his wife
came forward, and begged them to spare his life, and
said she would give them all the money she had, and
she gave them some silver. The man who had laid
upon him had a black mask on. They then took his
sword away, which was found in his yard next day.
The prosecutor said that there was a deal,of blood
about his bed-room; but whether it all came from
himself he did not know, but he was so covered with
blood that he could scarcely see, and " his hands
were as bloody as if he had been killing a pig."

The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The Learned JUDGE immediately pronounced sen-
tence of death on the prisoner.

LEICESTER, MARCH 26.

John Taylor, aged 29, was indicted for the wilful
murder of Grace Seals, at Packington, on the 24th
of November last, by administering to her half an
ounce of corrosive sublimate.

Anne Seals, mother to the deceased, stated that
the prisoner and her daughter had first kept com-
pany together about eight years ago. The court-
ship was subsequently discontinued for some time,
and the parties had each kept company with other
persons in the interim. About Whitsuntide, 1828,
they renewed the acquaintance, and in about a year
afterwards the witness observed that her daughter
was pregnant. She spoke to the prisoner on the
subject, and he replied, " Never mind, what need
you interfere; can't Grace and I order that ?" She
frequently spoke to him about marrying the de-
ceased afterwards, until her daughter forbade her to
do so. On the night of Saturday, the 21st Novem-
ber, about eleven o'clock, witness and her daughter
were in bed, when she heard a tap at the window
of the room in which they were sleeping. Witness
said, " Who is that ? Is it you, Taylor ?" He
said " Yes. Tell Grace to get up and let me in."
The deceased accordingly got up, dressed herself,
and opened the door to the prisoner. The deceased
and the prisoner then had some tea in the house-
place, and remained together for several hours;
afterwards he went away, and the deceased returned
to bed. On the Sunday the deceased went out
after tea, about four or five o'clock, and stayed out
about an hour and a half. On the Monday, the
deceased got up about eight o'clock, when witness
fetched her a bowl of milk for her breakfast, and
then went to bring home a cow. After being gone
a little while, she was summoned in by a girl named
Sarah Heap, and found her daughter walking up
and down the house-place exclaiming, " I shall die."
" What is the matter ? inquired witness. The
deceased replied, " I have taken poison; give me
something to make me sick ; fetch some castor oil,
and run for a doctor." The oil was procured, and
the deceased drank it off greedily. The doctor was
also sent for, and he came.
Mr. Ingle, a surgeon—Was called in to attend
the deceased on the morning in question, and found
her in a very dangerous State. She was rather
better in the evening; but the next morning he
found her worse; still, however, he held out hope
to her. At twelve o'clock he visited her again,
and she then miscarried. The child appeared to be
about a five months child. She then asked him if
that circumstance would increase her chances of re-
covery. He said he thought it would. He next
saw her in the course of the evening, and found her
rapidly sinking. She then made no communication
to him during his last visit, and died in about an
hour after he had left her. On the next day but one,
the body was opened and examined in the presence
of witness and two other medical gentlemen. They
were all of opinion, that the death of the deceased
had been occasioned by the introduction into her
stomach of a corrosive mineral poison.
The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
These assizes terminated with the above case.

The new police is about to be extended to the
environs of the metropolis. An official notice has been de-
spatched from the Treasury to the Magistrates of Chelsea
that the, parochial watch will be discontinued on the sth of
next month, when such men now belonging to it as may
be desirous of serving under the new system, are to as-
edible, fur inspection, in ralliCe-yard.

FATAL OCtUARENCE AT liititaTEN

•
The unfortunate man who was shot by CoptaiPt
Moir, of Shelhaven House, having expired on
Thursday last, and Captain Moir having been pre-
viously lodged in Barking gaol, to await the rota
of the inquest, the Coroner summoned a Jury to
hold the inquiry at the George Inn, at Stanford-1(3o
Hope, on Saturday, at twelve o'clock.
It appeared that William Malcolm, the man shot,
was well known in his trade of fisherman to most of
the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, having been
accustomed to fish in the place where he met an un-
timely death, for the last 12 years. Captain Moir
was brought in custody from Barking gaol, and re-
mained in an adjoining room during the inquiry. He
is an uncommonly fine man, standing upwards of six
feet high, and of a most determined aspect.
William Dukes sworn—Lived at Wandsworth,
and knew the deceased, with whom he had worked
about five days. Witness, deceased, and his ap-
prentice, left Hammersmith to fish, and on Wednes-
day, about one o'clock, reached Shelhaven-creek,
where the deceased proceeded to lay his nets. Cap-
tain Moir, accompanied by his servant, came
towards them with a knife in his hand, and ordered
deceased to take up the nets. Deceased took up
the nets directly, making some observations, upon
which the Captain said if he was any man he'd zive
him a good thrashing. Malcolm threw off his
jacket, and told him to do it if he could. Some more
words passed, and Malcolm called the Captain a
Scotch —. Captain Moir said he should
not go across his meadows again, but should go
round by the sea-walls. Malcolm replied sneeringly
he did not mind a walk, and they then parted. Wit-
ness and deceased proceeded to Baker's cottage, and
exchanged some fish for potatoes, which deceased
carried in a basket. Remained about an hour and
a half at Baker's, and then proceeded towards their
boat, which was lying near- the creek. Malcolm
was in advance. about seven yards, carrying a boat-,
hook across- his shoulder, and the potatoes. Had
not proceeded more than.
.00 yards, when he per-
ceived Captain Moir riding furiously towards them.
He called out to deceased, " I thought I told you
not to come across these meadows again." Mal-
colm said, " I will go." Upon which Captain
Moir rode round to him, and pointing a pistol,
immediately fired. Malcolm immediately dropped
the boat-hook, exclaiming, " Oh, Sir, you've broke
my arm, you've broke my arm." Captain Moir
then spoke to witness, and told him if he did not
take the basket and staff off his premises immediately,
he'd serve him the same. Witness obeyed, and
Captain Moir then rode away, saying he would send
a doctor. Witness assisted Malcolm, who was
bleeding dreadfully, to Baker's cottage, and assisted
them in stanching the blood.
William Raven, servant to Captain Moir, went
with his master to the marshes to warn off Mul-
colm, who was placing his nets in Shelhaven creek,
which runs into the estate of Captain Moir. His
master desired the deceased to remove the nets, or
he would destroy them. The deceased was very
abusive, and called his master a Scotchman.
Deceased then took up his net, and the Captain told
him if he did net -get off his premises he would help
him off. Deceased then stripped to fight. Capt.
Moir took no notice of this, and did not appear to
be in a passion. He told the deceased that he
should not go across the fields, but should go round
by the walls. Malcolm said, " You are a great
paunch-gutted —, or you would have fought me."
Witness and the Captain left the creek, and in about
half an hour his master came out for his horse. His
master rode towards Malcolm, who was then coming
across the meadows. Witness was about 300 feet
distant. Saw his master ride before the deceased,
land the man keep advancing. Saw the -pistol fired,
and the pole which the deceased carried on his
shoulder drop. His master then came home, and
desired witness to go and see if the deceased required
assistance. Did not know that his master had pis-
tols when he first ordered his horse.

James B. Dodd, a surgeon at Stanford-le-Hope.
Was sent for on Wednesday, about three o'clock, to
attend a man who had been wounded in the arm by
a pisteti 411. - Examined it; -and found a wound near
the joint had been made by a ball which had passed
completely through. Advised his immediate re-
moval, and went over to Captain Moir to borrow a
horse and cart. Captain Moir met witness at the
gate, and said smilingly, " How do you do, Doctor,
you see I've chalked you out a job ?" He asked
me to come into his parlour, and he would tell me
how it happened. This he did in words nearly as
follows :—" This fellow was setting his net in my
creek, and I went and told him he should not fish
there. The man said he would not take it up, and
I said lie should. I had a knife in my hand, and I
swore I would cut it. The fellow then took it up.
He became very abusive, and I said, Since you
choose to be saucy, you shall go back a deal
longer way than you came; you shall go round by
the wall, and put foot on my land again at your
peril.' I then came home, and thinking the fellow
would cross my land again, I looked at my pistols,
and ordered my horse. In half an hour he came
out of Baker's cottage and crossed my field. I got
upon my horse, and rode towards him, calling upon
him to stop. The fellow would not, but kept ad-
vancing, and said ' You be —.' I fired at him
directly. The man called out, You've broke my
arm,' and dropped his pole. I said, I know it,
will you turn back now, because if you don't, you
shall have this other in your brains ?' and by —,
if he had Hot turned back I would have shot him
directly. I told the boy to take up the pole and
basket and move off my premises, or I'd serve
him the same way. The boy, frightened enough,
did as he was hid. I then rode away, and sung
out I'll send a doctor to you.' I accordingly sent
for you. My land is my castle, and nobody shall
put a foot on it without my leave." Witness told
Captain Moir his object in calling was two fold—
first to borrow a horse and cart, and next to see if he
was sober. 44 Well, Sir," said the Captain, " what
do you think of me ?" Witness said he was as so-
ber as witness was. " I was not only sober," re-
turned Capt. Moir, " but as cool as I am at this
moment. Why it was half an hour after I quar-
relled with the man before I went out to shoot him,
by G-1 will do the same to-night, to-morrow, or
any time when lam trespassed on." The man for
some time appeared to be doing favourably. Drs.
Vidal! and Robinson, with myself, attended him.
He, however, began to exhibit symptoms of lock-,
jaw, which rapidly increased, and terminated fatally.
The lock-jaw must have proceeded from the effects
of the wound.

The Jury, after a short deliberation, brought in a
verdict of Wilful Murder.

Capt. Moir was then removed.to Chelmsford gaol.

Chancellor (Lord TENTE&DE bells. the first), when he

to resort to the use of crutches to walk.

DISGRACEFUL OCCURRENCE.--On Thurs-

spectable farmers, a fellow dishonoured the name of civi-

was not absolutely made, as the woman, who had been in-

417X101% TO ASSASSINATE THE KING
OF FRANCE.

(From intelligeace—..a net, Sunday Paper.)
At a late hour yesterday evening, we received from our
Correspondent in Paris, a long and interesting letter, from
which we have only time to give a short extract. This,
however, is of considerable importance, as it shows the
state of feeling in France, and communicates information of
an attempt to assassinate the Sovereign. Having the
greatest confidence in the veracity of our Correspondent,
Who has, in a private note, informed us of the source from
which he received the information which he furnishes, we
cannot doubt its correctness; but we regret that he does
not state the precise time when this attempt was made. We
see by the extracts from the French papers of Thursday,
which were given in the Tines of yesterday, that a dis-
trust is entertained of the French Guards generally, and that
the Swiss Guards are to have their pay increased, in order to
attach them more firmly to the Royal Family. We are sur
prised, however, to find that an attempt should have been
made upon the life of the King by one of his Gardes du
Corps, a body composed of persons of good family, and
vvho have never, hitherto, been suspected of disaffection to
the reigning Dynasty.
We sincerely trust that this diabolical attempt was not
connected with any conspiracy. It is curious that it should
have been kept so quiet; but we really see no reason to
doubt its accuracy.
The following is our Correspondent's letter :
PARIS, MARCH ts.—Notwithstanding the apparent
quiet in the capital, it is now generally rumoured that the
King has considerable doubt of the fidelity of his guards,
and that the officers have received instructions to watch
narrowly the conduct of the men under their command,
and, above all, to prevent their mixing with the people.—
This precaution does not seem to be without reason, as you
Will judge from the following authentic account of an at-
tempt to assassinate the King, which has only just tran-
spired, although it is understood to have taken place pre-
viously to the late quarrel with the Chambers. Charles
X. was hunting in the forest of St. Germain ; at the turn-
ing of one of the avenues, his Majesty found himself in
front of one of his Gardes du Corps, who had been placed
there on duty, and who suddenly drew from his holsters a
pistol, which he fired at his Majesty. The King was
slightly wounded, and excessively terrified. The Garde
du Corps, seeing that his aim had failed, destroyed him-
self, by drawing from the holster the remaining pistol, and
blowing out his brains; first saying, " I have missed you,
but some other person will be more adroit than me." The
greatest silence respecting this event was commanded, and
the greatest precautions were taken to prevent its coming
to the knowledge of the public. It was merely announced,
in the Ministerial Journals, that the King kept his room
from indisposition, and the public never heard of the
adventure.
