ASSIZE INTELLIGENCR.

HOME CIRCUIT—LEWES, MARCH 13.
(Before Mr. Baron Parke.)
Eniery Spriggs, 50, a respectable-looking man, was in-
dicted for the wilful murder of Rebecca Spriggs.
Mr. Johnson appeared on behalf of the Crown ; the
prisoner was defended by Mr. Creasy.
The learned counsel for the prosecution opened the
case, and observed that there would not be the slightest
doubt that the death arose from the act of the prisoner ;
the only question would be, whether he was guilty of
the more serious crime of wilful murder, or whether the
facts of the case would warrant the jury in coming to a
more merciful conclusion, that the offence amounted
only to the crime of manslaughter.
The following evidence was then adduced :
Martha Pole said—l am a widow, and reside at
Westbourne, in this county. The prisoner kept the
Cricketers' Arms Inn at that place. On the 6th of
January, Twelfth Night, there was an entertain-
ment and ball at his house. About five o'clock
on the following morning the prisoner came to my
house and aroused me. I went to the window, and
the prisoner said, " Get up, will you ? there is a dead
woman at my house." I said to him, " Oh, Spriggs,
don't say that !" And he replied, •` Yes, there is, for I
have been and shot my wife." I got up immediately
and accompanied the prisoner to his house, and upon
going into the passage, I saw the deceased lying upon
the ground with her head on the door-sill of the tap-
room and quite dead. I said to the prisoner, " Oh,
Spriggs, what have you done'?" And he said that a
few words had passed between him and his wife, and
the deed was done momentarily. The prisoner then
told me to go and get some assistance, and he said lie
would stay with the body ; and, looking down at the
corpse, he exclaimed, " Oh,' Becky, I am not afraid to
stop with you. I loves you now, and I always loved
you." I
.then went out to get the assistance of some
neighbours, and I returned with Mrs. Hedger, and her
daughter, and I found the prisoner standing by the
side of the body. I and Mrs. Hedger and her daughter
then carried the deceased into the parlour, and I ob-
served a wound on the right side of her head, just
above the temple. There was a great deal of blood
upon the floor, and also upon the walls of the passage.
The prisoner was not sober, and his conduct was like
that of a man wild.
Cross-examined—The deceased had all her day clothes
on, and was not at all undressed.
Anne Hedger said—ln consequence of what the last
witness told me I went with my daughter to the pri-
soner's house, and saw the body of the deceased lying
in the passage in the state she has described. When the
prisoner saw me, he put me a chair to sit down upon,
and sat on another by my side, and he said, " Oh, Mrs.
Hedger, no tongue can tell my trouble !" He afterwards
told us to take up his dear wife, and do our duty by her.
We lifted the deceased from the floor, and carried her
into the parlour, and the prisoner held a candle to light
us. When we had laid the body down the prisoner said
" Where is my gun 7—l don't know what I have done
with it ;" and I and my daughter searched, and found a
gun in the prisoner's bar. The prisoner then wished a
man named Goddard to be sent for, and my daughter
went for him, and while she was gone I examined the
place and observed a quantity of blood, and also a por-
tion of brain upon the door-post, and I wiped them off.
Thomas Goddard said—l have known the prisoner and
his wife for several years, but I do not know how long
they had been married. The prisoner had a gun which
he used for the purpose of shooting wild fowl, and it was
generally kept loaded in the bar. On the night of the
party at his house I acted as waiter, and I went there at
half-past 8 o'clock in the evening, and remained there
until about half-past 4on the following morning. I saw
the prisoner and his wife from time to time during the
evening, and when I left they were neither of them sober.
About 11 o'clock they had some disagreement, and
this occurred a second time shortly afterwards ; but
when I went away they seemed to be on friendly terms,
and the prisoner was in the tap-room and the deceased
in the bar. Shortly after I got home, somebody came
for me, and I went back to the prisoner's, and found him
sitting in a chair by the fire. When he saw me he said,
"Oh, Tom, I am glad you are come. I have had a
bit of a fray with my wife, and she rushed at me
with both her hands, but I gained the victory. I shot
her with the right-hand barrel." The double-barrelled gun
now produced was afterwards given to me by the wit-
ness Elizabeth Hedger, and I found that the cap upon
the right-hand nipple had been exploded, and the one
upon the other was whole.
At this stage of the case the witness fainted, and he
was removed from the court for a short period.
When the examination was resumed, in answer to
further questions, he said the deceased was more intoxi-
cated than the . prisoner, and witness saw her fall down
several times during the evening.
Cross-examined—He had known the prisoner and the
deceased for 20 years. Formerly they lived very happily
together, but of late the deceased had become addicted to
drinking, and this had caused differences between them.
The prisoner suffered a good deal from gout. During
the evening he had requested him particularly to keep
his wife from getting at the spirits, but she had done so
without his knowledge. The hands of the deceased
were very dirty, and her nose appeared to be cut, as
though she had been falling about. They were very
good friends when he left them. The prisoner was suf-
fering from gout-at the time this occurrence took place,
and he had his gouty slippers on.
Eliza Hedger, the daughter of the former witness,
said the prisoner repeatedly exclaimed, " My poor wife
is dead I" and seemed quite deranged and beside him-
self.
Charles Hammond deposed, that he received the gun
from Goddard, and that he found the left barrel was
loaded. He drew the shot from that barrel, but was
unable to get out the powder, and he therefore discharged
it. There was a broken cap upon the right-hand nipple.
William Neelance deposed that he was the superin-
tending constable of the Chichester district, and that he
took the prisoner into custody on the day the affair hap-
pened. As they were going away from the magistrates'
office the prisoner said to him, " Me and my wife had a
scuffle. I had the gun in my hand, and it went off and
shot her, and I am sorry for it." • I afterwards had the
gun given to me, and I ascertained that both the barrels
had been discharged.
Mr. W. Baxter, a surgeon, residing at Westbourne,
said that upon deceased's examination he found the skull
at the back part of the head had been driven in, and it
appeared as though the shot had passsed completely
through the head and the brain, passing out behind.
Cross-examined—When he first saw the prisoner he
was sitting by the fire and appeared to be labouring
under subdued delirium. He was the worse for liquor,
but did not appear to be drunk, The prisoner suffered
occasionally from gout, and he had no doubt that this
disorder was %bout him at the time. Gout was gener-
ally accompanied by excessive irritability of temper, and
any one suffering from goat was very easily irritated.
When this malady was in the system and did not " come
out kindly," as it was termed by gouty people, it fre-
quently occasioned temporary delirium.
This closed the case for the prosecution.
Mr. Creasy then addressed the jury for the defence.
The jury found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter.
He was sentenced to be transported for life.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—DORCHESTER, MARCH 13.
(Before Mr. Justice Erle.)

Elizabeth Cornish was indicted for attempting to ad-
minister poison to Frar :es Dyer, with intent to kill and
murder her, at Toiler Percorum.
It appeared that Mr:. Dyer had given the prisoner,
who was her servant, aril only 16 years of age, warning
to leave her place. The prisoner upon this asked a little
girl to go to a druggist's, who lived two miles off, and
procure some poison for rats. The girl brought her some
carbonate of lead. Mrs. Dyer, when at tea, thought
there was something unpleasant in it. She told her hus-
band, who desired her not to take any more, and asked
the prisoner whether she had put anything in the tea,
when the girl confessed that she had put poison in the
cream and among the water-cresses ; and the poison was
found in her pocket.
The prisoner on Saturday wished to plead " Guilty,"
but Mr. Baron Martin advised her not to do so.
The foregoing facts having been proved,
The Jury found the prisoner guilty, and she was sen-
tenced to four years' penal servitude.

NORTHERN CIRCIIIT.—Yonx, MAIIOII 13.
CIVIL COURT.
(Before Xr. Justice Cresswell.)
GILL V. PIILLAN.

This was an action for a trespass, and for a libel, in
publishing some doggrel verses of the plaintiff in a news-
paper called Burnistoa's Northern Luminary and Knares-
borough Independent Press.
The defendant pleaded "not guilty."
Mr. Knowles, Q.C, and Mr. Addison, appeared for
the plaintiff, and Mr, Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Price
for the defendant.
It appeared, from the opening statement of counsel,
that the plaintiff is a highly respectable attorney at
Knaresborough, holding various public appointments,
and the defendant is a farmer, living at Hay Park, near
Knaresborough, For some time the plaintiff had acted as
the professional adviser of the defendant's late father, and
had since been concerned, professionally, for other branches
of the defendant's family. Some disagreement had, how-
ever, arisen between the defendant and the plaintiff, and
in consequence the defendant had gone to the plaintiff's
offices for the purpose of annoyance and insult. This dis-
agreement had arisen in consequence of some proceedings
rendered necessaryunder the will of the defendant's father,
and the defendant had applied epithets to the plaintiff,
in October last, showing a strong feeling in his mind
against the plaintiff. Two or three weeks after that a
circumstance occurred which had given rise to the pre-
sent action. Early in November, at a fair which is held
at Knaresborough, the defendant had hired a black man,
who played mountebank tricks at fairs—swallowing hot
pokers, and performing other feats—and had gone with
him to the plaintiff's house, where they had forced them-
selves into the plaintiff's kitchen.; The black man then
jumped upon the chimneypiece, and, pretending to be
the Devil, had performed various feats of mountebankism,
to the great terror of the plaintiffs maidservants. A Mr.
Vickerman, the constable of Knaresborough was sent for,
and the black man was given into custody, the defendant
offering to bail him. For this outrage the black man
had been sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment as a va-
grant. An account of this proceeding was published in a
local newspaper called Burniston's isiorthern Luminary,
and appended to it was some doggrel verse, which the
defendant had Rffered 51. to the editor of the paper to
publish. Before the publication the defendant had read
the verses to a select audience at a public-house. He
did not seek for vindictive damages, and would now
accept such a verdict as would simply carry costs, if the
defendant would make an apology for his conduct.
The case had not proceeded very far, when
Mr. Serjeant Wilkins, for the defendant, agreed to a

verdict for the plaintiff, with is. damages, and costs.
The whole matter, he said, was a silly practical joke,
and unworthy of being brought seriously before the
Court. The defendant was not sober at the time, which
was the best excuse he could make for him.

His Lordship said, the defendant's conduct at the
plaintiff's house was outrageous and wholly unjustifiable,
and his counsel had taken the wisest course for him.

Verdict for the plaintiff accordingly.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Joh.n Jones and Thomas Amos
were charged with having feloniously broken and en-
tered the counting-house of Messrs. Marshall and Co.,
in Savage-gardens, corn merchants, and with having
stolen therein two 5/. notes, two crown pieces, and other
monies, and 43 cigars.

James Scarborough (541) said—About 3 o'clock on
Sunday morning, as I was passing down Savage-gardens,
I saw marks on the crane at No. 2 (Messrs. Marshall
and Co.'s), as if some one had gone up, and I observed
that a square of glass had been broken in a first-floor
window over the crane. I called for the assistance of
another officer, who went for the serjeant, and when he
was gone I heard a great smash of glass, apparently at
the back of the house. I saw a man going along the
parapet of the house, sprang my rattle, and alarmed the
neighbourhood. The serjeant and I then went through
the house of Mr. Smith, at No. 5, and on the roof of the
house, No. 1, Muscovy-court, I found the two prisoners
standing in the gutter, and took them into custody.
Amos was bleeding very much. .
William Gale (520) stated that he assisted Scar-
borough in apprehending the prisoners, The man who
was on the parapet of the nouse looked over the wall,
and upon being called to ran away on the tops of the
houses, and directly afterwards witness heard a crash of
glass, as if some one had fallen through a skylight. He
then found the prisoners in the custody of Scarborough
and the sergeant.

Inspector: Fosbery stated that upon examining the
offices of prosecutors he found a number of papers
scattered about, and several drawers and two iron safes
open. He also found the cash-box broken open, and a
pair of large scissors, which had marks on them, and
had been apparently used to break open the cash-box.
In the box were some sovereigns and other money. The
window of the room was broken in, and in the back
room adjoining, the window was open, and just outside
that window was-a glass roof over the warehouse of Mr.
Curtis, who has the lower part of the house. There
was a large portion of that roof broken in six or seven
feet square. On the outside by the roof there was a
waterspout which had marks upon it as if had been
climbed up, and which led to the roofs of other houses.
The lower doors were all fastened and safe, and the door
of the counting-house was also safe.

Evidence was brought forward to prove that on Satur-
day night the doors, and windows, and desks, and cash
box, &c., had been left in a state of perfect security.
Jones said he had nothing to state to the magistrate
upon the subject.

Amos said-that he and Jones and another man had
been drinking the night before, and that Jones and he
went roaming about and looking about for some place to
lie down in, and at last they got upon the skylight, and
tumbled through the skylight, without knowing anything
at all about the matter.
The prisoners were committed for trial.

Joseph Harris, a ship's carpenter, was convicted in the
penalty of 51. (the utmost fine under the circumstances)
for having wilfully smashed with his fist a large pane of
glass value 71. 10s. in the house of a licensed victualler.

GUILDHALL.—James Tucker, the young man who
was remanded from Wednesday last upon the charge of
shooting at Mr. Umpleby, his late master, with intent
to kill him, was again brought up for further examina-
tion.

Thomas Pryor, a cab driver, said—l drove the pri-
soner on Tuesday last from the cab rank opposite the
Eastern Counties Railway to the Smithfield police sta-
tion. The officer who had the prisoner in custody was
the only other person who rode in the cab with him. In
the morning, while searching my cab, I found under the
seat this Spanish clasp knife, two pairs of bullet moulds,
and a tin canister containing some bullets and pistol
nipples.
Richard Davis, of 2, Henrietta-street, Manchester-
square, said—l am a locksmith. On Tuesday last I
sold the pistol produced to the prisoner. He asked me
if I had any more pistols and some bullets, and on my
replying in the negative he said he wanted them because
he thought of going to Austritlia. The pistol has had a
nipple put on it since I sold it.

John Stevens said—l am a gun-maker, carrying on
business at No. 11, Hackney-road-crescent. I know
the prisoner. He brought this pistol to be repaired on
Tuesday afternoon last. It had a new percussion nipple
put to it, and when he came again for it he bought a
pair of bullet-moulds marked No. 54. The other pair
produced I know nothing of. The bullet produced by
Inspector Teague fits the pair of moulds No. 54. When
I returned the pistol to the prisoner, there was a bullet
lying about, and as I was removing it the prisoner said,
"You need not put that away—just give me a load."
I accordingly loaded the pistol with powder and ball,
and having put a percussion cap on it, I delivered it in
that state to the prisoner, and he then went away.
Inspector Teague said the bullet spoken of by the last
witness, as fitting No. 54 moulds, is the same that was
discharged from the pistol by the prisoner while in the
police-station.
Evidence was then given with reference to the embez-
zlement of several sums of money. After which, a
previous conviction was proved against the prisoner, by
which it appeared that he was imprisoned for eight
months for embezzlement, and on his being released
from prison, Mr. Umpleby, knowing that fact, took
him into his service at a salary of 30s. per week, with
the view of giving him an opportunity of reforming and
retrieving his lost character.
The depositions being completed, they were then read
over to the prisoner, who, in answer to the charge of
attempting to murder his master, said, " It was quite
an accident, and not at all a premeditated thing. In
taking the pistol from my pocket to lay it down on the
bench it went off quite unawares. I never told the in-
spector that I meant to shoot Mr. Umpleby." What I
said was that I did not mean it for the inspector, neither
did I intend it for Mr. Umpleby."
The prisoner was then fully committed for trial upon
all the charges.
George Pike was fined 305., and Michael Villis 405.,
for treating a horse with cruelty of a most revolting
character.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Maurice Greenburgh, a well-
dressed German, was charged with having obtained
various sums of money by false and fraudulent represen-
tations.

Harriet Green, the wife of a compositor residing in
King's-head-place, Hoxton, stated that about six weeks
since the prisoner called at her house and handed her a
printed card, bearing the inscription " Greenburgh and
Walford, medical botanists, 175, Southwark- bridge-
road," at the same time apprising her that he had
effected numerous remarkable cures in cases of deafness
and other organic diseases. The daughter of witness
happened at the time to be labouring under a total de-
privation of speech, occasioned by a severe cold ; and on
describing her condition to the prisoner, he confidently
assured her that he had some medicine with him that
would have the effect of restoring her voice, and accom-
plishing her perfect recovery. The prisoner then pro-
duced a small bottle containing a dark coloured fluid,
which he directed her to administer to her daughter, in
doses of 5 drops at a time, and for which he said his charge
was only 10s. the half of which he accepted on account,
and promised to call again in the course of the week to
ascertain how the health of the girl was progressing
under his treatment. The prisoner however failed to
keep his appointment, and after applying the drops
according to his instructions, without producing the
slightest beneficial effect, she forwarded a communica-
tion to the prisoner at the address he had given, but her
letter was returned through the Post-office, with au in-
timation that no such person resided there, and she saw
no more of him until that morning, when she acciden-
tally met him in the street, and gave him into custody.
A second charge was preferred against the prisoner by
a married woman named Elizabeth Blake, living at
Windsor-place, Hoxton, who stated that he had visited
her house under similar circumstances about two months
before Christmas last, on which occasion he undertook
lo restore the hearing of her sister, who was afflicted
with deafness, by means of the two bottles of the drops,
for which she paid him ss. 6d. About a fortnight after-
wards the prisoner called again, and on learning that his
medicine had been wholly without effect, he strenuously
urged to persevere in the application, and wished her td
purchase another bottle, but she refused to do so, and
he then left the house.

The prisoner made no observations in answer to the
charge, and
The magistrate ordered him to enter into recogni-
sances for his appearance on that day week for further
examination.

but they contain nothing of importance. Telegraphic
