ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHEIaV CIRCUIT, Liverpool, Dec. 14.

The winter assize for the southern division of Lanca
shire commenced here to-day.
(Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.)
Thomas Cawley was indicted for the manslaughter of
his wife, Eliza Cawley.
It appeared that on the night on which the deceased
met with her death the prisoner, who is a working man,
came home from his work. The deceased, his wife, was
very much intoxicated. The prisoner was sober, and
complained of her neglect in not having prepared tea for
himself and the children. High words, in consequence,
took place between them, and one of the neighbours (a
Mrs. Rushton) hearing the quarrel, went in to see what
was the matter. The prisoner threatened to knock the
deceased off her chair. She replied with some taunting
language, on which the prisoner went towards her,
apparently for the purpose of striking her. He made
a blow at her, but Mrs. Rushton interposed, and his
hand merely inflicted a slight scratch upon her fore-
head. He then raised his foot for the purpose,
apparently, of kicking her, but the witness having her
face towards him, for the purpose of keeping him
off Airs. Cawley, did not see whether the blow
reached her. The deceased, however, instantly screamed
out, and fell forward on the sofa. The prisoner imme-
diately lifted her up, and said, "Eliza, have I hurt thee?
I would not hurt thee for the world." It was then found
she was bleeding copiously from the lower part of her
person. Mrs. Rushton desired him to go for a doctor,
and he immediately left the house for the purpose. He
went to the house of a Mr. Berry, and stated that his
wife was ♦ery ill—that he had kicked her. On Mr.
Berry reaching the house, he found deceased exhausted
from loss of blood. He tried to arrest the bleeding, but
the deceased sank and died in a few minutes. There
was no external laceration, but a post-mortem examina-
tion showed that a contused wound had been inflicted
internally, rupturing a number of small vessels, the
hemorrhage from which had caused her death.
The witnesses, on cross-examination, stated that the
deceased was occasionally intoxicated. The prisoner was
usually affectionate and kind to her.
Mr. ATLINSON addressed the jury for the defence,
contending that it was not clearly established that the
haemorrhage in this, which the medical men admitted
was a most singular case, had arisen from the violence
offered by the prisoner at the bar.

Mr. Justice -.IOLTMAN haring summed up,
Tile jury found the prisoner Guilty, recommending
him to mercy.
His LORDSHIP sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned
three calendar months.

(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)
William Bridge was indicted for cutting and wounding
his brother, Richard Bridge, with intent to do him some
grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Cross conducted the prosecution; the prisoner was
not defended by counsel.
It appears that the prisoner, his brother (the prose-
cutor), and their father, are colliers, living at Rochdale.
On the 7th of December there had been a kind of village .
festival, called " rushbearing," at Rochdale, and most
of
the parties engaged in it had wound up the evening, it
would appear, by convivial meetings at public-houses,
in which more ale was imbibed than prudence would
sanction. The prisoner, his brother, and their father
were together at the house of a person of the name
of Dearden. The prisoner was teazing his father
and pulling his hair, on which the prosecutor
interfered, and after some high words had been ex-
changed between them, they came to blows. Mr.
Dearden, the landlord, interfered, and the prisoner was
put out. lle remained outside the house until the pro-
secutor and his father left. When they got out of the
house, Dearden being with them, they found the prisoner
there, and he kicked over a tub belonging to Dearden,
which was standing there, and behaved with so much
violence that Dearden, to prevent a collision, took him
back into the house until the others should hare pro-
ceeded some distance on the road. The prisoner, how-
ever, on leaving the house went forward to overtake
them, and, being about to attack his father, the prose-
cutor interfered, on which a scuffle took place between
them, in the course of which the prosecutor found he
was wounded in the side. The wound was in a dan-
gerous place, but had fortunately been given in a slant-
ing direction, and the results were not serious.
The prisoner in the dock seemed exceedingly peni-
tent, and he received en excellent character for kindness
of demeanour and quietness in his usual habits when
not excited with drink.
When taken into custody he said " I know I've done it.
I was not my own person." The prisoner was found guilty of an assault, and seri-
ously admonished by his Lordship as to the evil conse-
quences arising from habits of intoxication, and sentenced
to be imprisoned three calendar months.
William Showell was indicted for cutting and wound-
ing Jeremiah Pooley, with intent to do him grievous
bodily harm.
Mr. Monk conducted the prosecution; the prisoner
was defended by Mr. Pollock.
The prisoner, it appeared, when this occurrence
took place, was at a public-house at Much Woolton,
near the borough of Liverpool. He was much intoxi-
cated, and was finally put out of the house. At the
door the landlord pushed him and be fell. On getting
up the prosecutor saw something in his hand, and cried
out, "He's got a knife." Immediately afterwards be
was assailed by the prisoner, and cut in several parts of
his body. None of the wounds, however, were dangerous.
His LORDSHIP, in summing up, left it to the jury to
say with what intent the prisoner had committed the
act. Generally, a person must be held to intend that
which is the natural consequence of his act, and if his
intent was to do grievous bodily harm, the fact of his
being intoxicated would not render him less guilty. It
might, however, be a question for the jury whether the
prisoner might not have been so intoxicated as not to

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
NEW COURT.
(The case of Barr, Brewer, Ralfe, and Carter, continued
from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Counsel addressed the jury at length for each of the
prisoners, and several witnesses gave Ralfe an excellent
character.

The RECORDER, in summing up, occupied an hour
and twenty minutes, and the jury retired.
After delit,rating about an hour and a half,
they returned a verdict of Guilty against all the pri-
soners, but recommended Ralfe to mercy.
The COURT took time to consider its judgment.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Lord William Vane Powlett, of 19, Curzon-street,
Mayfair, was brought into court, just at the close of the
business on Monday, and placed at the bar, charged
with having stolen two embroidered slippers, value 125.,
from the shop of Mr. Emanuel Stahl, bootmakcr, Bur-
lington-arcade.
William Oakley, shopman to Mr. Stahl, said, on Fri-
day evening the prisoner came into his master's shop
and asked to be fitted with a pair of Blucher boots. Ile
went up stairs into the wareroom but could not find a
pair that would do, and he came down and told the pri-
soner that ho had none that would suit, but ho would
take his measure and make a pair. The prisoner said
be was in a hurry for the boots, and he requested wit-
ness again to go up stairs and see if he could not find a
pair. Witness did as requested, but, being unsuccessful,
he came down again and took the prisoner's measure,

and also hi* name and address. The next day the boots
were sent to Curzon-street, and paid for. Shortly after-
wards two embroidered slippers, ono red and the other
yellow, and both for the same foot, were missed from the
window. The slippers were worth about twelve
shillings, and witness had seen them safe in the window
when Lord Powlett was in the shop. Witness also
recollected that he saw a red slipper in Lord Powlett's
hands when he was coming down stairs from the ware-
room.
William Allen, shopman, said, as soon as the slippers
were missed, and suspicion had arisen, he was instructed
to go to Curzon-street and make inquiries. He went,
and on telling his business to the footman he received a
message from his Lordship that he had taken the slip-
pers, and they were then in the house. Witness re-
turned and mentioned what he had learned to William
Oakley, and afterwards he went with William Oakley to
Lord Powlett's house, and then saw Lord Powlett.
Lord Powlett said he would not have had the thing
occur for 50/. He said he took the slippers to ascertain
which would fit him best, intending to call and take that
pair which he might fix upon. Lord Powlett also said
that Mr. Stahl was in the shop when he took the slip-
pers. The foreman contradicted this, asserting that he
was the only one present in the shop at the time. Wit-
ness received both slippers from the footman; they
were the same that had been taken from the window of
the shop.
Inspector Tedman proved that he had been applied to
by the witness Oakley to take Lord Powlett into custody.
Lord Powlett, in defence, said he took the slippers but
certainly with no intention of stealing them. He bad
offered to pay for them when the first application was
made at his house.
The foreman observed that it was rather singular for
a nobleman to carry away slippers in his pocket.
Mr. BINGHAM said, it appeared to him that, consi-
dering the prisoner had given his correct address, had
paid for the articles he ordered, and, above all, that two
odd slippers could have been of no-use--to any one, the
probability was there had been some oversight or mis-
apprehension, rather than that a person of the station of
the accused should have taken the slippers without any
assignable motive. It was a question, however, to be
decided by a jury if the prosecutor thought fit to proceed
further.
The foreman said, his original impression of the case
was in some degree altered by the view taken by the
magistrate of the whole affair. In the absence of instruc-
tions from his employer he should not be inclined to go
further.

His Lordship was then discharged.
Herman Geiger, a foreigner, with his face nearly
covered with hair, was placed before Mr. Bingham,
charged with violently assaulting Benjamin Schrader,
, assistant to Mr. Young, pawnbroker, 51, Princes-street,
Leicester-square.
The prosecutor said, on the previous evening he was
in the adjoining house to his place of business, having
his tea, when he was alarmed by hearing the shop bell
ringing violently. He immediately proceeded to the
shop, and as soon as he entered his attention was at-
tracted to the prisoner, who was conducting himself in a
most violent manner towards one of the shopmen. On
looking at the prisoner he directly recognised him as a
man who had been in the habit for some time of trying
to pledge articles at his employer's shop for more than
their value. He was, therefore, determined to give him
into custody. He informed the prisoner of his intention,
when he abused him (prosecutor) in the vilest terms.
The prisoner at length got so violent that prosecutor at-
tempted to put him out ; in doing so the prisoner laid
hold of his (prosecutor's) hand, and inflicted a severe
wound by biting it with his teeth. The prisoner then
ran out of the shop down Princes-street. Prosecutor
followed him till he saw him enter a tailor's shop in
Cranbourne-street, and he then procured the assistance
of a constable, and gave him in charge.
Henry Edward Bonham, shopman, to Mr. Young,
stated that yesterday evening the prisoner came into his
employer's shop, and put down four brooches on the
counter, upon which he wanted witness to advance the
sum of 30s. Witness looked at them, and asked the
prisoner if they were gold? The prisoner said, " Yes,
they are, and if you do not like them I will take them
away." Witness then proposed to ascertain whether
they were gold, whereupon the prisoner snatched three
of them away and put them into his pocket. Witness,
however, tested the other and discovered that it was not
gold, but a species of yellow metal. He then gave it
back to the prisoner, and told him he need not trouble
himself to come again with them. The prisoner said,
" What do you mean by that?" Witness replied that
be (prisoner) bad been often told not to come to their
shop, and that he need not try anything on again. With
that the prisoner began to make a very great noise.
Witness told him that he would not allow any noise
there, and if he did not desist he would send for a con-
stable to take him out of the shop. The prisoner per-
sisted in making a disturbance, and behaved in such a
manner that witness sent for a constable, and rang the
bell for last witness, who immediately came to his
assistance.

The prisoner, in a long rambling statement, denied in
Into the chargo of violence imputed to him. He also
denied telling the last witness that the mountings of the
brooches were gold. The value of the brooches was not
in the mountings, but in the settings. The brooches he
offered in pledgo were Roman mosaic, and considered a
great rarity in this country, and each brooch cost him at
least 20s.

Mr. BINGHAM said he had heard the statement made
by the two witnesses, and also the defence made by the
prisoner. Ile (Mr. Bingham) was clearly of opinion
that the prisoner was attempting to commit a fraud, and
that the prosecutor was perfectly justified in acting as
he had done. lie also considered that the prisoner had
acted with a degree of violence towards complainant
perfectly unjustifiable. lie therefore thought it a case
that ouglit to be sent to the sessions, and if the prose-
cutor desired it, ho would send the prisoner there.
The prosecutor said Mr. Young wished him to pro-
secute the prisoner to the utmost.
Mr. BiNone.bi accordingly ordered the depositions to
be taken, and committed the prisoner for trial.
