ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Lancaster: Feb. 16.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON concluded the criminal business
last night by sitting till 11 o'clock; and this morning
only one civil case remained to be tried before Mr.
Justice COLERIDGE. which was the cue of
YATES It. lIESKETH, BART.. AND OTHERS.

,This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a butcher
at Preston, against the defendants, as Sheriff of Lan.,
caster, his officers, and one William Hardwick, for
having improperly seized the plaintiff's goads. It ap-
peared that in 1848 the defendant Hardwick obtained
a judgment in the Court of Common Pleas at Lancaster,
against Thomas Addison, a surveyor of Presi en. The
wife of Addison was a sister of the plaintiff Yates, and
was separated from her husband, living with her brother,
the plaintiff, and assisting him in carrying on his busi-
ness. Under the impression that the plaintiff and Ad-
dison were partners, a quantity of the plaintiff's property
was seized, to redeem which the plaintiff had to pay the
judgment debt of 144/., the defendant Hardwick returning
him half of it, supposing him to be a partner with Ad-
dison. The action was brought to recover the sum of
741., the other half of the money so paid. The plead-
ings raised the issue of a partnership between the plain-
tiff and Addison. The evidence, however, gone into, dis-
proved this plea of the defendants, and the counsel for
the defendants thereupon agreed to pay the 741. if the
plaintiff would not demand any costs. This proposal
was accepted, and terminated the case.
Mr. Atherton and Mr. Catterall appeared for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Segar and Mr. James for the de-
fendants.
This concluded the business of this assize.
Appleby, Feb. 17.
The commission was opened here last night. There
was not a single cause to try, but the calendar of the
prisoners exhibited twelve cases. Most of these were
for larcenies of a minor description. Two were for
night poaching, one for concealment of birth, one for
sheapstealing, and one for giving a false notice to the
registrar of marriages at Kendal by a married man in
order to get married. Most of the prisoners pleaded
guilty.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
Isabella Wharton, a young woman about 22 years of
age, was indicted for having, on the 15th of August last,
in the parish of St. Lawrence, Appleby, been delivered
of a child, and with having then secretly buried the
same with the intent to unlawfully conceal the birth.
The prisoner pleaded Guilty.
Mr. DIKES, the Counsel for the prosecution, begged
to state to his Lordship the circumstances under which
the prisoner had been living. Her father was a cob-
bler, occupying a very small shop in the town of Ap-
pleby, and he had been twice married. By his first
wife he had two sons, now twenty-four and twenty-five
years of age; by his second marriage the prisoner and
three younger children. There were only two rooms.in
his cottage, . no ooenpied by the man and his wife and
his youngest child; in the other room were two beds, in
one of which slept the two young men, and in the other
the prisoner and the other two young children—altoge-
ther five young persons in one room.
His LORDSHIP, after commenting on the deplorable
position in which the prisoner had placed herself, said,
—The Counsel for the prosecution has stated certain
circumstances which I deeply regret to hear of as ex-
isting in such a country as this ; and I speak of it
the more, because I know that in the north of Eng-
land the habit of suffering persons of different sexes
to inhabit the same room prevails much more largely,
and even with less excuse for it, than in the south
England. W here it does prevail, one cannot. but see that
it gives opportunities and facilities for the indulgence
of the natural passions of youth which must often lead to
lamentable results, such as we now witness. His Lord-
ship having referred to the length of time during which
-'the .prisoner had been in custody, since August last,
sentenced her to be imprisoned one month to hard labour.
(Before Mr. Baron ALDEasoN.)
James Thomas, aged 42, was indicted for an attempt
feloniously and unlawfully to Marry Eleanor Bland, his
former 'wife, Mary Benson, being then alive. The pri-
soner pleaded " Not guilty."
Mr. Ramshay and Mr. Bell appeared for the prose-
cution.

It appeared from the evidence that, on October 6, the
prisoner went to the superintendent registrar's office
at Kendal, and there gave notice of his intention to
marry Eleanor Bland, representing himself as a bachelor.
After the 21 days' notice required by law had expired,
the prisoner and Eleanor Bland appeared at the regis-
trar's office for the purpose of being married. The su-
perintendent, however, having received some information
that the prisoner was a married man, refused to marry
them, and subseqnently ascertained that be had been
married at Kendal in July, 1825, to Mary Benson, who
was now alive. He was thereupon taken into custody.
These facts having been proved, witnesses were called to
prove the identity of the prisoner with the James
Thomas who was married in 1825. A witness named
Ledbeater, who acted as bridegroom's-man on that occa-
sion, thought the prisoner the same man, but after an
absence of 24 years would not swear to him positively.
A witness named Starkie, who shortly after the pri-
soner's marriage had worked three months with him,
was positive as to his indentity, and a policeman believed
he was the same man. His .father-in-law, who is alive
and well, was not called.

The prisoner, in his defence, called Eleanor Bland her-
self, who said she was a spinster aged 45, and that she
bad known the James Thomas who was married in 1825
to Mary Benson, and kept company with him, and had
a child by him, when _the superior attractions of Mary
Benson made him jilt her. The prisoner was not the
same man, but another and a different James Thomas.
Would not swear she had not said, " Well, if he was
married in 1825 he was drunk at the time, and it was
not a legal marriage."
Mr. RAMSHAY having replied,
His Loitbssup summed up, and dwelt strongly on the
difficulty of identifying a man after an absence of 24
years, and the slender testimony against the prisoner,
when his father-in-law might have been brought to give
evidence as to his identity if he were the real James
Thomas.

The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and
His LORDSHIP sentenced hint to be imprisoned for
three months, with hard labour.

This case finished the assizes, which concluded a
three o'clock.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Captain John Johnson, of the 66th Regiment, was
brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having
stolen two sovereigns from Johanna Lorena, a German
widow, living at 29, Haymarket.
She said, on Friday, about nine o'clock (this hour
she afterwards altered to six o'clock), she went out
from her residence, No. 29, Haymarket, to post a letter.
She walked to the General Post-office, in St. Martins-le-
Grand, and posted her letter. While on her way home
she was accosted by the accused, who, after some con-
versation, finding she was a foreigner, asked her if she
intended to stay long in London, because, if she did, be
would take care of her as long as she remained. They
walked round a square (Trafalgar-square), and then the
accused invited her into a house, which she thought at
the time was his own, but which she afterwards dis-
covered was a house of ill-fame. They went into a
room together, and the accused fastened the door inside,
and then opened thelloor of a bed-room, into which they
went. Prosecutrix undressed, and so did the accused,
and they got into bed. Prosecutrix was awakened about
two o'clock, by some one knocking at the door and men-
tioning the time. She got up immediately and insisted
upon going home, as the accused (here the prosecutrix
put her handkerchief to her face and sobbed) had "made
her a bad woman. She dressed herself and tied on her
pocket, which, before going to hed, she had placed on a
chair by the bed side. She left the house with the ac-
cused, and had just got into the street, when she felt in
her pocket for something, and, finding one of the rings
of her purse loost,, she took out her purse, and missed
from it two sovereigns, which she knew were safe in it
whop oho entered the bad house. She immediately .aid
to the accused " you have robbed me; you have taken
two sovereigns out of my purse." The accused made no
reply, but ran away directly. Prosecutrix followed
until out of breath, when, meeting with a police
constable in Titchbourne-street, she told him that the
gentleman running down the street had robbed
her. The constable pursued the accused, and stop-
ped him. Prosecutrix went up and said, " This is
the person who robbed me." The constable took the
accused to the station-house. On their way the accused
offered her a sovereign not to press the charge. She re-
fused to take the sovereign, and said it was the money
taken from her purse that she wanted. In reply to ques-
tions put by the prisoner, the complainant said she un-
dressed at a different side of the bed to that at which the
accused undressed. Sho did not know whether the ac-
cused got out of bed, as she was asleep a part of the time.
No one could get into the room, as the door was locked
inside.

The accused, in reply to the charge, said he met the
complainant in Oxendon-street, got into conversation
with her, and took her to a common receiving house,
without the least trouble or persuasion. He had been
dining out that day—had taken a glass of wine too much,
and this had caused him to act foolishly. It was his in-
tention to have made the complainant a present for her
company.
Mr. HARDWICK asked the accused why he had not
made the present in, the house, he having so much
money in his possession? The accused said he told the
complainant when in the street that he would give her a
present; but wishing to have ajoke, he said, " You shall
have a run for it," and he set off to run, fully expecting
the complainant would follow him.
The complainant denied, with seeming warmth, that
any "present" had been expected or hinted at. She
was of highly respectable connexions, and if these cir-
cumstances became known she should be greatly pre-
judiced.
Mr. HARDWICK said the case was full of suspicion, in
consequence of the accused having attempted to escape
when charged with the theft, and having offered the
complainant a sovereign not to press the charge after he
was in cuitody. He should rem 4nd the lu.eu3eti until
Wednesday, when he must be prepared to g-ve a satis-
factory reason for his conduct in running away when
taxed with robbery by the complainant.
The accused applied to be admitted to bail. He said
his connexions were most respectable; his station in lite
could easily be ascertained, and he could produce un-
exceptionabl- sureties.
Mr. HAanwicit consented to receive bail, and the ac-
cused was liberated, after providing two sureties in 1001.
and himself in 2001.

156, NOW Bond-street, and Margaret, his wife,
were, on Saturday, brought before' Mr. Hardwick, the
former.charged with stealing .four gold.salt-spoons, the
pro2erty of his employers, end the latter with haring
offered the same in pledge, well kneviing them to have
beclm-stolkn.

John Fry, assistant to Mr. Doter; e, pawnbroker, Gilbert-,
treet, oxford-street, stated ti.v.t. the previous night. about
six oVeck. the female prisoner came. into his employer's
shop and offered the four gold spoons produced in pledge.
Witness, knowing that her husband was in the employ
of Messrs. Hunt and Roskuli, suspected that she had
not come by them honestly, and. asked her whose pro-
perty they were. The pi isoner replied, " Oh, it is of 110
consequerce; put my name down ; it is all the same,
you know me well." He refused to do s•-i; when
she said they were tho property of a lady who
was very much reduced in en cumstencos. W itness then
went and consulted with Mr. .; tobree, who dir,•ctyii him
to give the prisinoT cherg,. Durio the ato,ence
witness the prisoner run he Si; sub-
sequently went with a c,instable to M ssrs. Hunt and
Roskell's, who identified the spurns as having been
stolen from their stock. The constabl,: then went with
witness to the stables in Barlow •mews, and the priso-
ners were taken into custody.
Police, sergeant 9 D said he took the prisoners into
custody at l3arlow-mews. g, a4teil the male pri-
soner if he 'clew anything about the spoons. He said
he did not, but that he tied emptied some rubbish out of
a packing-case on to the dust hpap, and the spoons might
have been amongst the rubbish. The woman on being
questioned said she found them on the dust heap. and
did not know the value till she took them to the pawn-
broker's. Witness then conveyed them to the station.
The prisoners, who protested their innocence, were
remanded till Wednesday next.

SOUTH W ARK.
Elizabeth Mitchell, a very pretty-looking young girl,
was brought before Mr. Seeker, charged with robbing
Mr. Andrew Mott of twenty two sovereigns and a halt.
The prosecutor stated that about twelve o'clock on the
previous night he met the prisoner on Newington-cause-
way. She asked him to treat her to something to drink,
and he took her into a public-house in the neighbour-
hood. He afterwards accompanied her to an eating-
house in Blackman-street, and after treating her liberally
with drink and food he gave her 3s. 6d. out of charity,
but as they were about to leave the room she hustled
him about, and prevented his going away. He, how-
ever, got to the door, when on putting his band into his
waistcoat he missed his purse and 22 sovereigns and a
half. He took hold of the prisoner, when he heard the
rattling of gold in her pocket, and at the same time re-
quested her to give up his purse and money. She be-
came very violent, and in the struggle with her, he ob-
served the end of his purse sticking out of her pocket.
He instantly seized hold of it and put it into his pocket,
and on the arrival of a police constable he gave her in
charge. On examining his purse in the presence of the
officer he found only 18 sovereigns.
Police-constable 241 M stated that when he took the
prisoner into custody he saw her attempt to secrete
something about her. He caught hold of her hand, and
on wrenching it open discovered a sovereign. She de-
nied robbing the gentleman, and declared that the so-
vereign was given to her.

Miry Ann Randall, female searcher at the police-
station, said she found concealed in her dress two so-
vereigns and a half. While searchihg her she perceived
her with something in her right hand, and on opening , it
the other sovereign was discovered. The prisoner asked
her not to say anything about the money, but keep half
and let her go.
In defence, the prisoner said the prosecutor wanted to
treat her in an improper manner in the eating-house,
and on her preventing him they both fell down, and the
money dropped out of his pocket. She picked it up, and
intended giving it to him, but he called a policeman and
gave her into custody.
She was committed fur trial.

NEW INVENTION IN BAKING.—An invention W
just been made in Glasgow, which promises to be 01,
great service in the process of baking. As it has 11°'
yet been patented, we are not at liberty to enter taro
details. Some idea of its effects may, however, r
formed from the fact that a little model, a mere toy 111
appearance, standing upon a table less than 1/,
yard long and only half as wide, is fully capable 0'
doing the work of 6ve or six bakers—a class of urea
whose labour is well known to be none of the lightest,
The dough is both made and moulded by the machine
into loaves of the required size and shape ; aid, by as
original and ingenious process of mixing and kneading,
which can be done either with or without berm, the
usual loss of weight, attributed to evaporation in " raisin%
the sponge," is avoided ; and a great saving in goo!'
as well as time and labour, is consequently effected. The
bread manufactured in the model of the machine is o
the most excellent quality.—Glasgow Citizen.

purchases were made by agents. A copy of carte. 4

A MOST WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.--A LTer—
rriSo
zoologist, named Brandt, has published some microscopic:Jo
observations upon the remains of the food found by bial Jot
the cavitides of the teeth of an antediluvian rhinocerOs,ro
which the museum of St. Petersburgh possesses an enUg
cranium, covered with the skin. From these researchesd
would appear that these animals fed upon the leaves s'
fruits of fir trees, and that they had never lived in a WWI
cal climate.
