ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

• NORFOLK CIRCUIT: —.Nonwlex, Jua.
Yesterday morning the Chief Justice opened the Yisi
Prius Court for the city at the Guildhall, where there were
only two causes, one of which was a Special Jury, which
was not posSessed of any interest for the public.
CROWN COUnt.—Williank Robert Fill, and
Tho»zas Pightlinil, were indicted for stealing a ram, the
property of W. W. Lee Warner, Esq.
AgainSt Tuck the evidence chiefly relied on was a con-
fession of his own that he had stolen the ram in companY
with Fitt (who pleaded guilty), and he was accordinglY
found Guilty by the Jury. As concerned Pightling, how-
ever, the case stood thus. After the loss of the ram, Tuck
(who is Pightling's son-in-law, and: was moreover at the
time a lodger in his house) was appl'etended on suspicious
and, sear.th being made in Pightling's premises, several por-
tions of mutton were found wrapped.up among some clothes
in a chest claimed by Tuck's wife, while some other pieces
were found lying on a shelf in Pightling's pantry. In addi-
tion to this he was proved to have been present with Tuck
at Norwich when he was endeavouring to effect the sale Of
some mutton which was proved to be tup mutton.
Pightling was acquitted.

Charles and Saul Mason were indicted for stealing a
quantity or shoe leather, the property of Jane Croak, 4
widow of North Walsham, in this county.
The principal witness against the. prisoners was the
mother-in-law of Charles, who swore to overhearing a con-
versation between him and his brother, in which she heard
the words, " Let us hide the leather in Mrs. Alison's loft,
and then old widow Croak will not find it out."
On' her cross-examination she denied having said to her
daughter that she " was determined to transport her hui.'
band.," though she avowed her dislike to the connexion, and
admitted that she had herself been tried, though acquitted,
on a charge of felony. -
The Jury acquitted both the prisoners,
John Grey, aged 14, was indicted for robbing his grand-
father, Robert Grey, of six sovereigns and two half sove-
reigns ; and, John Huggins, aged 16,- and Robert Land,
aged 15, were charged witil receiving a sovereign each,
knowing them to have been stolen.

The-facts were chiefly proved by the confession of the
prisoners, who might perhaps but for that have escaped, as
the witnesses against them were, without any exception, cl"
cessively stupid ; one of whom, on being asked as a preli-
minary question " What are you ?" replied in a ITAOSt aIIIIIW
ing tone of voice, " I am a witncss."
The prisoners were all found Guilty.
• REX V. JOHN PILGRIM.
. _ _

At the last Assizes a struggle was made on behalf of
Mr. Pilgrim, in opposition to an application by Mr. Sergeant
STORKS to enlarge the recognizances entered into by the
prosecutor in this ease, on account of the serious illness of
the principal witness. This the Court then granted, and
Mr. Sergeant STonics now moved that the recognizances
might be altogether discharged, inasmuch as from the con-
tinued malady of the gentleman in question he could not
hold out the slightest prospect of his ever being able again
to appear in public. The application was granted.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.—Auo. 5.
REX v.

This was a proceeding in the nature of an information of
intrusion, by which the. ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on behalf
of the Crown, sought to recover possession of certain por-
tions of land, alleged to be encroachMents from the waste
of the manor of locoed.,
In 1836 the Commissioners of Woods and Forests,
acting under the Crown, sold, to James Watt, Esq., the
manor of locoed, and a conveyance in general terms was
made to him of all the rights which the Crown at that time
possessed, the encroachments in question being specially
scheduled and pointed out to Mr. Watt as part'of what
he was to receive. A great number of persons who were
in possession of encroachments acknowledged Mr. Watt's
title, and were allowed to retain possession upon payment
of some small acknowledgment to him ; but some par.
ties refused to do so, and among them the defendant, a sfr'
licitor, residing at Presteign. In 1824 Mr. Watt brought
an action of ejectment against a person named Morris, who
held one of the alleged encroachments as tenant to the de-
fendant. The Court of Common Pleas, after hearing the
special case argued, decided, in favour of the defendant.
upon the ground that the encroachments had not passed to
Mr. Watt by the conveyance made to him, but that they
still remained in the Crown. Alr. Watt therefore called
upon the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, of whom he
had purchased, to make his title complete, it having been
intended that by the conveyanpe to him the encroachments
should pass., The Commissioners of Woods and Forests
instituted this proceeding to recover 'possession of the en-i
croachments in question, in order that they might afterwards
convey them to Mr, Watt.

The case, on the part of the Crown, consisted of much
ancient documentary, as well as. parole, evidence.
The jury returned a verdict for the Crown.

THE WOOL TRADE.—The public gales of wool,
the produce of the British colonies and other parts, having con"
eluded, the following are the particulars of the averages
-realised during their progress :—Between 5,
of which 000
000 and 6,000
bales were announced for public competition,
were Australian and Van Diemen's Land wools, a small Po;
tion from the Swan River and the cape of Good Hope, an"
the remainder principally German, Spanish, and Peruvian,
fleeces. During the sales there was a full attendance 01
buyers from the manufacturing districts, -and several agents to
complete foreign orders were present. The Australian woo e
are improved in fineness but were generally of short staple.
The Van Diemen's Land choice descriptions, on the other
hand, were fit for combing, and realised proportionately high
prices. The following are the accurate averages obtained
during the sales :—Austrian choice flocks from 2s. 6d, to 31(i
3d. per lb. ; good and ordinary, 2s. to 2s. Bd. per 'lb. ; and
wools in the grease from Is. sd. to Is. 9d. per lb. Van Die-
men's Land—the finest flocks, 2s. 6d. to 3s. 4d. per lb. ;
or-
dinary and good from 2s. to 2s. Bd. per lb. ; and in the grelll
from Is. 3d. to ls. 6d. per lb. The finer qualities embrace'
all the best marks from .the colony. Eight bales of Swill
River wool fetched from 2s. to 29. 4d. per lb. ; and Cape of
Good Hope from 23. to 2s. 3d. per lb. On the average the
quotation of colonial Wools may be stated fully 2d. to 3d. Per
lb. higher than those realised at the corresponding period of
last year.
