on the Civil side nothing important occurred.
The cash' of YARRow against CALVERT, which was
an aaion against a Colonel of Local Militia, for
sending a serjeant to solitary confinement on bread
and water for a Month, and which vvas.a matter of
great expeaatiori in the county, was put off until

SATURDAY, MARCH 7.
CKOWN SIDE.
CHARGE OP ADMINISTERING POISONL'
The Rev. Samuel Hornbuckle, the. Clergyman of
Watson, in this county, was capitally indicted
under Lord Ellenborough's Ati, on a charge of ad.
ministering calomel to Sarah Weeks, his maid-ser-
vant, in OaOber, 1808, with intent to procure an
abortion, she king then quick with child. •
'The first witness called was a Mr. Taylor, a me.:
dical Gentleman at Watson. He stated, that in Oc-
tober,' 1808, (the ifith or 17th) he was sent for to
see Sarah Weeki, Mr. Horubuckle's maid-serval-le
He saw Mr. H. who told him that Sarah Weeks
had had a tit, that she was in a dropsy, and he ap-
prehended the water had flown to her head. He
replied, Poll ! it was no such thing. He went up
stairs to examine her, and found her lying in hel.
She was pregnant, and bad labour pains upon her.
Her mouth and tongue were also very much swelled,
and be ~detailed the symptoms which ensued (or
several days; the result of which was, that the girl
was in a deep saliSation. He told Mr. H. that the
report of the neighbourhood was, that he was the
father of the child ; and if the..girl died, he would
be in an awkward situation. Mr. 11. burst into
tears. A Mr. Tyce was called in, and the girl re-
covered. Mr. H. told him, that he thought the
girl had been dropsical, and he had given her some
oxymel of squills, and shewed him the pi sat with
some remaining ; but he \ was of opinion, that a
large dose olmercury had J3.een administered in smut:
shape or other.
Oo the cross-examination of this Gentlemanby
the Common Serjeant, it appeared that Mr. H•
and-himself had formerly -been intimate, but that
they tad since that time been at open variance ;
and subsequent to this transaction in 1808, Mr.
H. had prosecuted this witness on a special statute,
and made trim pay a fine of 201.
The next witness was a Mrs. Vigis, whose buss
band lived servant at Mr.- H.'s farm-yard. She
stated, that one day about the littler end of October,
1808, Mr. H. came from the parsonage, which was
near to their house, and begged her to come up, for
Sarah Weeks was in a fit. Sarah Weeks, as she
understood, had lived w:th Mr. H. about. seven or
eight years. When she got to the house, they
found the girl insensible on the floor in a closet.
T4ey got her up and carried her to bed ; her tongue
wits very much swelled, hanging out of her mouth,
and' her teeth clenched upon it. Mr. H. Shed tears.
Mr. Taylor was sent for, and he attended several
days, and she was delivered of a child, which was
dead. Mr. H. sent her to the clerk with, half a
crown, to desire him to bury the child dire/Aly.—
Tee child was buried at dusk. AJter the girl re-
covered she was sent to her father's, where, she
remained for some time ; and the witness deposed,
that she was sent by Mr. H. several limes to (etch
her to the parsonage, and related a number of 'mes-
sages, such' as to inquire of her from Mr. H. whe-
ther she felt herself with child again; not to be
persuaded to say who was the father of the last, &c.
Ueon the cross-examination of this witness, it
appeared, that ;he left Mr. FL's service in the month
of March following; and that there had been a
serious quarrel between them.

The husband u-as next called--be spoke in con-
firmation of some fads of his wile's testimony ; and
on cross-examination admitted lie w 9 in.hostility
with the prisoner.

The Learned Judge here addressed himself to the
Counsel (or the prosecution, and observed, that if.
the prisoner were convided of the chine laid to his
charge, he cerdinly must leave hunlor execution.
It was therefore most important that the fact should
be proved by clear and tinstPipetled testimony. The
charge was a very stale one, as it was above three
years old, and no reason assigned why it was not
before inquired into. The witnesses already pro-
duced, it• was clear, aeled from other impressions
than the desire of justice ; and he had carefully read
the deposition of Sarah Weeks herself, who was
most conversant with the transaction ; and if she
detailed in evidence what she there stated, it clearly
acquitted the prisoner, for she denied that the pri-
soner had ever administered any medicine to her, or
that he was the father of the child. Now, ought
they not, at least it they thought they could bring
the fad home to the prisoner,. to do it by witnesses
against whom no impressions of malice could be
urged ?• •
•

The Counsel for the. prosecution admitted thnt
they could not make the charge stronger. The
Jury, therefore, found the prisoner Not Guilty.—
The Assizes finished.

Oa Thursday forenoon, the body of a woman' was
accidentally.discovered,' lying at the bOttom of the
earthen mound leading to the New Bridge,
.Dum-
tries, which„ on examination, was found to to
drraifully mangled in the face,. and the. skull fra7-
tared. The name of the unfortunate person is Anne
a washerwoman, from Kirkcudbright, who,
it is supposed, had been barbarously murdered,. rnd
carried to that, place. Strong suspicion being at-
tached to Williams Towels, au-Irishman, folloving
the < c'cupation of a weaver there, and who had been
seen in company with her in several public-houses,
the night previous, he wai apprehended, and a pre-
cognition commenced. The Magist,ates of Dual-
ities, in a very'. particular account of Ois horrid
tranSiation haveofferedareward T 't
,
neas to any person who will give such Worination
as may lead to a conviction of those gulf y of the
murder.
