ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Monmouti, March 27.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN )
John Collins was indicted for the manslaughter of John
Richardson, at Tydee, near Newport, on the 9th of De
cember last. He was also charged on the coroner's in-
quisition. The facts of the case were as follows:
In the month of December last, the deceased, who was
an Irishman, went into a beerhouso at Tydee, about five
miles from Newport, for the purpose of selling his wares,
consisting of tin articles, &c., and while there in friendly
conversation with two or three persons, he was asked
some question by the prisoner, who had just come in
off the tram road, where he had left his team. They
got into conversation about the purchase of
two or three tin articles, and a quarrel en-
sued on the part of the prisoner, who was of
violent character. He beat the deceased very much, and
at length, having knocked him down, called out, " I
have sent one Irishman to sleep; let's see for
another now." The deceased got up after some time,
recovered, and proceeded towards Pye- corner, on the
road to Newport, where be again saw the prisoner, who
once more beat him, on his saying he would have him
taken into custody. The prisoner then went on to New-
port with his team, and just as he was getting his horses
into stable there, the deceased again came up to him, and
asked him where the tins were he had stolen from him
(deceased), and that he would make him pay for the
beating. Prisoner thereupon again beat him, and
knocked him down, and in falling it was said deceased
struck his head against a stone. He was taken up in a
senseless and exhausted state, and removed to his home,
where he died in a few days, leaving a widow and seve-
ral small children.

The jury found him Guilty of an assault, and he was
sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for
three months.

NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, March 28.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)
Wm. Cornforth Deniaine, who was tried for arson,was
Acquitted by the jury.
Mary Ford, an elderly woman, was arraigned on three
indictments for uttering forged seamen's notes. In the
first case she obtained her acquittal; but was tried on a
second indictment, and no less than seven forged orders
were put in evidence against ber, and the case proved
was too strong for her ingenuity, and she was convicted.
It seemed that the prisoner had become acquainted
with such notes by keeping a lodging-house for sailors,
who are accustomed to pay the expenses of beard and
lodging, at least the latter part of their stay on shore,
by notes given by the masters of vessels, which only be-
come payable on the men being actually shipped, but
there are many persons who, as in this case, cash them
at all risk, as the men obtaining them do not often fail to
go aboard according to their engagement.
Ills LORDSHIP told the prisoner it was a bad case,
and he sentenced her to be imprisoned for two years in
Lancaster Castle. He remarked she was too old to be
transported.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MAIVSIOA-HO USE.
George Grcen was brought before the Lord Mayor,
charged with having attempted to break open the
premises of Mr. Frith, wine merchant, in Bishopsgate-
street.
The policeman had seen, about one o'clock in the
morning, a man close to the alley leading to the back of
Mr. Frith's premises, and soon afterwards found that
the warehouse door had been partly forced in, and that
part of a housebreaking instrument was stuck in the
timber. Upon turning his lantern down the alley he
saw two men crouching down behind a dung heap. One
of them was the prisoner; the other escaped. A crow-
bar and some skeleton keys were found in the dung-
heap, and its appearance corresponded with the marks
on the warehouse door. Upon the prisoner was found
some lucifer matches, a piece of candle, and other articles
calculated to lead to suspicion.
The prisoner was committed to Bridewell for three
months.
Thomas Fawcett was charged with having kicked his
daughter, a girl between 18 and 19 years of age, in so
dreadful a manner that considerable doubts are enter-
tained of her recovery.
The wretched prisoner had gone home on Saturday
night and began to beat his wife, who, however, es-
caped from the violence it was supposed he intended.
The daughter was not so fortunate. The prisoner
kicked her twice. She cried out " Murder," and soon
after became insensible, and since that time had been
repeatedly attacked by hysterical fits, and it was ap-
prehended on Sunday that she would have died in one of
the paroxysms.
A female, who had seen the poor girl, gave a painful
description of her sufferings.
Mr. Hall, the surgeon,called to examine the injured
girl, and she complained of having been kicked in the
abdomen. Her condition was rather doubtful, and she
was open to danger from being subject to fits.
The prisoner was remanded.
GUILDHALL.
A young man, named James Anderson, was charged
with stealing a box, supposed to contain a quantity of
wearing apparel, the property of the Rev. John Colgh-
lan, of Barnet.
Daniel May, 357, said, that at six o'clock the previous
evening he was in Fleet-street, when he observed the
prisoner in company with another walking along, and
knowing them well, he followed them for upwards of an
hour, until they arrived at Throgmorton-street, when
Anderson left his companion, went behind a cart, and
took a large box from it, and entered Copthall-court.
His companion, however, observing witness, gave the
" office," that is the signal, upon which the prisoner
dropped the box, and ran into a court, which, however,
was no thoroughfare. He then put his hands into his
pockets, turned round, and coolly attempted to pass him,
but witness instantly apprehended and conveyed him to
the station-house.
Alderman SALOMONS asked from what part of the cart
the box was taken? May replied that it was taken
from behind the cart.
Thomas Searle, of Barnet, cabinet-maker, deposed to
being employed by the Rev. Mr. Colghlan to convey the
box in question, with others, to Old Broad-street, pre-
vious to their transmission to Jersey. He heard a cry
of " stop thief," and immediately directed his boy to run
after the prisoner, which he did, and afterwards returned
with the box.
Alderman SALOMONS asked the prisoner if he wished
to say anything?—The prisoner denied all knowledge of
the box, and said the officer was entirely mistaken.
Alderman SALOMONS thought differently, and sen-
tenced him to three months' imprisonment.
LAMBETH.

John Lundy, alias Edward Thompson, alias Jones, and
Thomas Sheppard, alias Sheffield, alias Chapman, two
impudent " cadgers," who had been charged on the pre-
ceding evening with going about with begging petitions
and imposing on the benevolent, were again placed at
the bar before Mr. Elliott.
Mr. Joseph Dewhurst, an upholsterer in Crosby-row,
Walworth-road, deposed that on the preceding after-
noon Lundy entered his shop and requested something
to enable him to purchase a cork leg, to use for one he
had lost by an accident. He at the same time presented
a petition containing a number of names with various
sums attached, and pointed his attention particularly to
the name of Mr Aston Key, the eminent surgeon of St.
Thomas's Hospital, with 11. ss. attached, which he said
that gentleman had subscribed. Believing his represen-
tations, and that he was the deserving object he was re-
presented in the petition, he gave him a shilling.
Samuel Darnels, a constable belonging to the Mendi-
city aoeipty, said ho knew both the prisoners very well
since March, 1840, and from that time to the present
both were gross impostors. Lundy's pretence generally
was that of requiring a cork leg, or getting his tools out
of pawn, to enable him to go to work, and Gardner's was
that of stating that his goods wore seized on for rent,
and exhibiting a warrant, purporting to be signed by a
broker, and by this means both managed to get a good
deal of money from the benevolent portion of the public.
Their perseverance, however, led to the apprehension
and conviction of one of them (Lundy) no less than nine
times, and the other four.
Mr. ELLIOTT added another conviction, and sentenced
the prisoners to one month's hard labour each.

THAMES.
Jane Strudwick, a young woman very smartly attired,
was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing
a variety of property belonging to her master, Mr. Ed-
win Harrison, eatinghouse-keeper, N 0.125, Royal Mint-
street, alias Rosemary-lane.
The prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Harrison
for three weeks only. On Saturday last, in consequence
of some money being missed from the till, and suspicion
falling upon her, she was discharged. On Tuesday af-
ternoon Mrs. Harrison had occasion to open a box in ber
parlour, and missed a valuable cord. -necklace. She then
hastened to her bedroom, where her worst fears were
confirmed by missing ttwo silk dre.sses, a pair of gold
earrings, and other property. She immediately obtained
the aid of police-constable Rich, 152 H, with whom she
' proceeded to the house of a person named Davis, who
keeps a coffee-shop in Cable-street, Wellclose-square,
where she had been staying since Saturday night, and
found the prisoner wearing one of her gowns, her ears
adorned with her rings, and her neck with the coral
necklace, which had been stolen from the work-box.
Mrs. Harrison exclaimed, " You irave got my property
on you," and compelled the prisoi ter to deliver up the
gown, earrings, and necklace. It further appeared that
the prisoner had given a neck cha in belonging to her
mistress to the landlady of the coffee-shop, and repre-
sented to her that she was about to purchase Mr. Har-
risons's eating-house business for 2001.
Mr. YARDLEY committed the prisone r for trial.

Tae TEMPERATURE.—Yesterday morning, at an
early how, the temperature was down uslow as 31 degrees
Fahrenheit; on Sunday morning it ivus even still lower;
falling to 28 degrees. Since Monday', the barometer has
ben falling rapidly—yesterday morning it stood at
29.40; at four in the afternoon, it was 29.30 ; and by
seven P.M. it had fallen still further ; being then 29.26.
This would seem to indicate a sad den change of weather
—probably a storm.—Manchester I;;uardian of yesterday.

London : Printed and Published by MURDO YOUNG, of
No. 112, Strand, Printer, at The Sun Office, No. 112,
Stri.nd, in the Precinct of the Savoy, in the county of
Middlesex, Thursday, March 29,1849.

bleoTicei anllderi which we t'ver reo•-:nb,,
place in this town. About teelve o'clock today, a boy,
named Bradshaw, who is in the employ of Mr. Yoniton,
Of Leveson-street, was passing the house of Captain
Hinrichson, who is in the employ of Messrs. James
Aikin and Son, and master of the ship Duncan, at pre-
sent at Calcutta. On passing Captain Hindrichson's re-
sidence he heard a .loud and deep moaning, which was
often repeated, and feeling sure that something was
wrong in the house, he immediately ran to the police-
officer on duty in a str, ,t, gave the
alarm. i'w; policeni,u at one hastened to the spot, but
on their arrival tt.ere the alarm had become so general,
in consequence of the moaning inside the house increas-
ing, that they- found the house had hen already entered.
The persons who first entered the house (tor on knock-
ing at the door, no admission could he obtained) did so
by breaking a window in the front parlour of the house,
having first looked through the window, and seen three
bodies lying on the flour, weltering in blood, their
moans at the time being of the most pitiable description.
On the arrival of the police, they were of course let
into the house by the four men who had first entered.
A few minutes afterwards Mr. Martin and Mr. Slater,
surgeons, were in attendance, and seeing that life was
not extinct in the three bodies, they gave orders for
them to be at once conveyed to the Southern Hospital,
which was accordingly done. The other parts of the
house were then searched, and in the back cellar was
found the body of a child, lying on the fluor in a pool
of blood, with its throat cut, and being quite dead.
The three bodies found in the front parlour were two
women and a child, and they were all lying surrounded
by pools of blood, but the murderer had not used the
same weapons as he had done to the other child. They
were all dreadfully beaten about the head and body. On
the forehead of one of the females (recognised as Mrs.
Hinrichson) there had been a dreadful blow inflicted,
the forehead being laid open to the depth of two or
three inches, and there were also several deep wounds
in other parts of her head and face. The other grown-
up female (the servant residing with Captain and Mrs.
Hinrichson) had also received similar wounds on the
head and face, as also severe blows about her eyes, both
of which were black and swollen up. The body of the
child (Mrs. Hinrichson's eldest child, a girl about seven
or eight years o'd) also presented a most dreadful ap-
pearance. The poor litle creature's head seemed to have
been beaten to a jelly by the inhuman ruffian, and the
wonder is that life was not extinct.
From the different positions of the bodies, it would
appear that the attempt was first made on the lives of
the servant and the children, and that at that time the
unfortunate Mrs. Hinrichson was out at the market, and
met her fate immedia!ely on her return home. The
following explanation renders this fact extremely pro-
bable :—The parlour fender and the appearance of the
fireplace generally indicate that the servant was attacked
while in the act of cleaning the fire grate, and that the
eldest child was near her at the time, for they were both
discovered lying close to each other in the middle of the
room, whilst the body of Mrs. Hinrichson was discovered
close to the parlour door, her bonnet being close beside
her head, and a quantity of potatoes with an apron near
to them. The poker was also lying by her side.
A man who lodged in the house has been apprehended
on suspicion; in his bedroom a towel, soiled with blood,
has been found, and upon his shoes and trousers marks of
blood are observed.
A, drawer in Mrs. ilinrichson's bedroom had been
forced, and the whole of the house had been ransacked.
