,ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

After a few minutes' consultation, the Jury returned a
verdict for the plaintiff—." damages one farthing, costs one
farthing;" but we believe that they were mistaken in suppos-
ing that, after having thus decided in favour of the plaintiff,
they could limit the costs to the sum stated. The verdict
would carry full costs.

WESTERN CIRCUIT..—BRIsToL, Aus. IS.
The Commissibn was opened here on Thursday evening, by
Mr. Baron PARKE.

HALLETT V. CLARKE.

This was an action to recover compensation in damages
for an assault committed by the defendant upon the plaintiff.
This cause of action arose in consequence of something that
took place at the last election for this city, and so strong
was the feeling excited by it, that there were no less than
thirty-six challenges of Jurymen ; several persons did not an-
swer, and the very last man in the panel was called to com-
plete the twelve.

On the part of the plaintiff, several witnesses were called,,
who stated that the defendant came to the Commttee-room of
Mr. Berkeley, and that after leaving it he found the plaintiff
in the court-yard of the house ; and that he then attacked him
and beat him in a most unmerciful manner; indeed, to such
an extent, that the blood ran all over his face ; so that ac-
cording to the plaintiff's case the defendant had attacked him
without the slightest provocation. The defence was, that he
was not the aggressor, and that he, the defendant, had only
acted in self-defence, for a procession had passed at the time,
that an attempt was made to seize the colours, which being re-
sisted, a row ensued, during which the defendant was struck
by a person supposed to be the plaintiff, and be immediately
returned the blow. There appeared, however, to be some dis-
crepancy in the evidence as to the place where the defendant
was struck, and it was contended in reply, on behalf of the
plaintiff, that two persons must have been struck by the de-
fendant, and that the transaction spoken to by the defendant's
witnesses was a different one from that which formed the sub-
ject of the present complaint, more especially as the plaintiff's
witnesses, some of whom were persons of great respectability,
altogether dcaicd that the plaintiff had struck the defendant
before the assault complained of took place.
To this view the Learned Judge in his summing up seemed
to incline, and the Jury, after retiring, found a verdict for the
plaintiff.—Damages 51.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT,-IIrERPOOL, Aug. 17.

The three men whose case was reported yesterday, as having
been convicted of maliciously stabbing a person who endea-
voured to apprehend them after a riot at Wigan, were this
morning placed in the dock to receive sentence. His Lord.
ship, after an appropriate address, passed sentence of trans-
portation for lb years.
Charles Dagnall, a man 58 years of age, was indicted for
an offence which it is impossible to describe.
Dr. Briowr conducted the prosecution, and Mr. WILKINS
appeared for the prisoner.
The details of the case were of such a nature as to be wholly
unfit for publlention, but some circumstances came out in evi-
dence, which, as they drew down observation from the Bench,
are perhaps deserving of notice.
It seemed that the prisoner had been, and was at the time
that the offence was alleged to have been committed, an inmate
of the union workhouse at Windlc, and it was further stated,
that he had to share the bed in which he slept ;pith the pro-
secutor and another boy, and that there were in the same
room four other beds, one of which was occupied by two m? 0,
and another by a married couple
His LORDSHIP said, he had been led to believe that in these
well-regulated unions a proper separation of the sexes was
made; but, as it appeared, men, women, and children, were in
this workhouse kept together, those connected with such an
establishment had much to answer for, and be was glad to
hear that one of the Guardians and the Governor were present,
as it was but proper that they should be acquainted with what
was going on.

The Jury found a verdict of Guilty on the minor charge of
assault, and the prisoner was sentenced to three years' impri.
sonment and hard labour.
A case of perjury, of no public interest, was afterwards
tried, and with this the criminal busineis of the assize and of
the circuit concluded.

FALLOW'S V. STEPHENSON.
This was an action to recover compensation in damages for
a gold watch which had been put up to raffle, and afterwards
carried off by the defendant, without (as was stated) he hav-
ing authority to do so.
The LEARNED JUDGE, in his summing up, said, AS to the per-
jury which had been exhibited by the witnesses in this paltry
case, it had certainly boen most barefaced and disgusting.
After drawing a brief outline of the case, he left the jury to
determine to which party of witnesses they would grant the
greater degree of credence, for implicit reliance, he thought,
could not be placed on either.
