ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
ROME ClRCU.ll;—Lcroes, March 26.
The commission for the county of Sussex,was opened
on Monday, but in consequence of the state of the
4',lxti-inesS,i4riient it was found necessary to postpone the
commencement of the Sussex assize business to Thurs-
day morning, when both courts were opened. On the
civil side there are only fourteen causes, several of which
were put down as undefended, and four of them are
special jury causes. The number of prisoners for trial
is somewEat greater than usual, there being forty-nine
on the calendar.

CROWN COURT.—(Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.)
Edwin iiichman, a farmer, near lta,ilstiam, was in-
dictt-d for feloniously uttering a bill of exchange for
2001., with intent to defraud the London and County
Bank.

Mr. Russell Gurney and Mr. Johnson prosecuted, and
Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner.
It appeared that the prisoner was very respectably
connected in the county, and carried en the business of
a farmer to a large extent at Hai'sham. He kept an
account with the London arid County Brqnch Bank at
L-wes,. and the bank had discounted bills to a con-
siderable amount for him. In the month of November
last year, a bill for 300/., drawn by the prisoner,
and which purpe:rted to bear the acceptance of a Mr.
Thomas Barton, the brother-in-law of the prisoner,
BO a man of considerable property, living at Ben-
hill, became due, and the prisoner wished to have it
renewed, but the manager of the bank declined to renew
thesbill to the full amount, but offered to take a fresh
bid im 200L,,accept Mr. Barton. if the balance was
paid in-cash I:ronerl':'no,nsented to the arrange-
rust, and a bill f0r.200/' was tfr‘astrir, which the prisoner
7toiffc away for the purpie of getting the acceptance of
'his brother in-law, as he represented, and a t,w days
att,rwitrd:s he sent the Mil haf k to the bank apparently
accepted by Mr. Barton, with cheque4 and other securi-
ties to the am,, ant of 5001. When the bill became due
it was dishonoured, and the acceptance, upon inquiry
being made, turned.out to be a nogery. The prisoner
appear,tl to have borne a very high character for integ.
rity up to this transaction, and it would seem that he
had involved himself in difficulties by experiments in
farming, and had also recently suffered much mental
distress by the loss of his wife.

Mr. CLARKEION made a very feeling and enegetic Ad-
dress to the jot y. but the evidence was of too conclusive
a character to allow of any hope of a favourable result to
the prisuner.

The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and sentence
was deferred.

INORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool. March 25.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr.l3.tron IIoLFE.)
Mr. Ilaron Rolfe was enea.g..(l for the greater part of
the morning in trying untittenqed causes, and two or
three causes, after being partly heard, were referred.
The business came to a stand still at half-past three in
the afternoon from parties not being prepared to go on.
The causes in the list were called over in their order,
and no one being ready to go on, his Lordship proceeded
to try some of the prisoners.
There are 132 causes in the list, viz., 32 for the
Iford, and 100 for the West Derby Hundred. Among
these there are twelve special jury causes ; and one in-
dictment, the Queen v. Selby and others.
CROWN ei./URT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)
John Miller, 34, was charged with having, en the 26th
of January last, at Warrington, feloniously stolen a mare,
the property of Isaac Henshall.
The prisoner had pleaded guilty to another charge,
that of stealing a number of American clocks, the pro-
perty of his master.
Verdict—Guilty. Sentenced to be transported for
fifteen years.
William Bannister, aged 15, was charged with having,
at Heaton Norris, feloniously set fire to a quantity of
cotton, belonging to James Leece and others, the cotton
being then in progress of manufacture.
Mr. Monk appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Grainger for the defence.
Tne prisoner had been employed in the throstle room
of Messrs. Leece and Company before the time of the
alleged offence. David Inglis, another lad in prosecu-
tore' employ, while engaged at work in their factory,
perceived the prisoner standing at the door of what is,
called the carding room, and OR coming into the lobby,
he saw him fling a lighted match into the carding room,
and then run up a flight of stairs. Inglis went into
the carding room, and there found some cotton, in a
carding machine near the door, on fire. By the as-
sistance of a man, who immediately came, the fire
was soon` put out. It appeared further, that the
prisoner 'on his way to the factory that morning hid
spoken to some other boys going to the some work,
sa3ing, " Well, we are going to this happy hole again;"
adding, th:3 he wished the mill might burn down
before night. One of the boys said that would be it
pity, as it would throw so many hands out of employ,
but the prisoner said he did not care it it- did. fee
said there was no cotton on the greund, and one of
the boys replied that there was a load under the ga •
way. But the pris eier sal i that was'nothing such a
mill as that. :ieeing, however, several more loads
waiting there, he observed, " Well, I suppose we must
set on."

It was further shown that, at about the time when the
fire must have been set, anoth,r boy, who could not be
idemified, was seen to run from the dour of the room
where the fire was, end to run up the stairs.
His LORDSIIIP here stoppe-d the case, observing. that
although all the witnesses for the prosecution might have
stated what they believed to be true, the case depended on
evidence of personal identity, and that sort of evidepce
was of a kind in which witnesses were peculiarly liable to
make mistakes. With respect to the words attributed to
the prisoner, such loose expressions were entitled to but.
little weight.—Acquitted. .

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
OBTAINING CHARITY BY FRAUDULENT REPRESENTA-
TIONS.—Morris Lotez, a Pole, aged• eighteen, in the
attire of a female, was put to the bar, charged with
having solicited charity at the Synagogue in Duke's-
place on Thursday, twice as a male and once as a female.
The prisoner, who could not speak a word of the Eng-
lish language, had, as might well be imagined, a great
number ofJewish followers to the justice-room.
Mr. Oppenheirn, secretary to the Jewish Synagogue,
stated, that as the Feast of the Passover was approach_
ing, he had been, on Thursday, occupied in delivering
Pasiover bread to the pour of that persuasion, between
600 and 700 of whom received reliet, and amongst those
persons who presented themselves was the prisoner,
who aweared at first dressed like a man, and was handed
a tickerfor 71b. of bread, the customary allowance to a
adat-
tention man. Soon afterwards a person, also in the dress
of man, presented himself as a claimant,
nnadlle one oft
ttehnotinmnentnin
hairott,endasancaen
individual at the Synagogueividual who had been
served before. As witness was not certain of the
fact, it was determined that the applicant should
have the benefit of the doubt, and a ticket
for 71b. of bread was accordingly delivered to
him, the man in attendance at the Synagogue
being positive that he was the identical party who had
been served previously. In the latter part t,f the evening
the prisoner at the bar appeared in the bonnet, shawl,
and gown with which he was covered at that moment,
and said he had a husband and two children, the one
two, the other four years old. Witness upon that repra-
sentation delivered to him a ticket fur twenty pounds of
bread, believing that it was correct,-and the prisoner left
the room, hut upon going to the outer gate was recog-
nised by one of the porters, who handed him in, and
said, " Here is a man you have relieved twice as a man,
and once as a woman." There was then not the least
question as to the prisoner's identity with the three
claimants upon the charity, and he was delivered into
the hands of a "Sliceman.
The Loan Mavon—liid he say anything upon being
detected? Mr. Opi.enheim—Lle begged obe allowed to
go off, and did Lot deny that he had been imposing upon
the charity." As it is our practice to give indiscriminately
to p ,or applicants of the Jewish religion, we are, no
doubt, immensely imposed upon, and as considerably
more is to be dispensed, we (bead still greater imposi-
tion, unless your Lordship will make an example of this
p• rs

ISLA Lo It tlUlir. I Wu woruki y,,u nave tits
posed it to him? Mr. Oppenhtim—Certainly.

The LORD MAYOR--Well, Mr. Lotes, what hare yCd
to say in answer to this charge of disgraceful iroiwsl'
tion?

The prisoner put on a crying face.
The Loan MAYOR—Have you got any friends in the
crowd behind you?
The prisoner turned round, and several Jews It'll°
were standing close to the dock fell back amidst
much laught,?r, evidenily terrified at the idea of being
Claimed as an acquaintance. He shook his head.. With the assistance of a gentleman who acted as ,
terpreter, the Lard Mayor le:rned that the prisoner al
no Jew at all, hut a Pro:es'ant; that he bad' atsplie
at tke Synagogue before, and having met with a repall:
he determiiied to be even with the officials, and -aeeon°
ingly adopted that mode of revenge.
Some persons present recognised the prisoner as till
associate of a set of .bad fellows iu the neighbourhood°
Wentworth-Areet.
The LORD MAYOR—For the protection of charitable
institutions like the one which has ni en thus lhr'e
times imposi d upit by the prison,ir, t vice a mail, and

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.— William Wy end

Louisa Higgins f.ro la up fef ferreer exauanatl gin'
eh•,rg d with having. comtni'vel the following eittiosl
robbery on 31,rshell J.eies, a carpenter, living at No'''
Bieeknorse-yard, Oxford street.
The eorneleinaet, who exhibi,e l marks of the vitilen's
he had sustained, wes wiekine hurler. ardson
day, about one e'elock in the morniee, when he was sod'
denly surreunded and hustled b; several persons. Tht
female prisoner threw her arms around bina,and the
prisoner thrust his hand into his (complainant's) p"ekeh;
He struggled with Wj nn. and was thrown down on the
pavement. The parties then left him, and witness tried
to rise, hut before he c ,ul,l regain his feet the prisoner
Wynn came back and kicked him violently es
the heal, with the remark, " You
you have some money." The kick was suifficien,.ll,.
violent to deprive witness of his senses J°:
a short time. A police-constable came up OR heArinP
his cries, and he told him what had occurred. Witness
afterwards went to a house with the police, and there
found the two prisoners, whom he immediately reetl,
nised as the persons who had been the most active to
robbing and ill-treating him. Witness had about ej.
in one of his pockets, which escaped the notice of the
prisoners. Witnes3 recollected having been at the La",
of Mischief public house, where his boother lodged, kis",
before the attack on him, and in front of the bar there,
was the prisoner in company with some other men'
Witness recollected that he pulled out his money whey
in the publitehouse, in the presence of the prisoner an,
his companions: It was apparently this money which lea
to the attack on him. The pocket in which he b!
placed the money was not ransacked, but a pocket inl
which he had some keys was torn from his coat, and 1
was afterwards picked up near where he was kicked.
The constables proved finding the witness as describe
and taking the prisoners into custody.: •
The male prisoner said he was not the individual vlb:
had committed the offence. He had not been• in b
Land of Mischief public•house that night, nor had IX'
in the woman's company at all.
One of the censtaeles :said he saw the prisoner andrthe;
woman come out of a public-house together just before,
the occurrence.
Mr. HeaDwecK said he should commit both prisoner..
but it would be advisable to get some additional cll. •
deuce.

was charged, by policeman F 60, with being drunk,
.17,e
creating a disturbance in the Strand at a late hour I'M
Friday night. -

The prisoner, in defence, said that the policemen '
" a grudge" against her, and was in the habit of Nil'
ing and watching her off his beat. Friday night le I°,l,

the whole time he was on duty. He had seen the pot
soner before, but did not see her Friday night
that (Saturday) morning.

The MAGISTRATE of course refused to eraterta'°p

and a in silver, and a cheque for 7/ los. irons the 5"--;,
of Mr. George Grey, draper and mercer, 35, LIPPer
street, Islinv ton.
It appeared that Saturday morning, about eight°'el°chic•ss
the prosecutor opened his shop, and brought down -I,li/
cash-box, which he laid upon a desk at the end of t"
counter, previous to his locking it up in the till. be:
few minutes afterwards the prisoner and a well-dress d
man entered the shop together, when the female eallea
for some trifling article, while the man walked up allt,
down the shop for a few minutes, and then went ett
in a moment afterwards. One of the appreetice°
came to the shopman who was serving tm„-
prisoner, and told him he thought the gentleman Wb°
came in with her bad stolen the cash-box. He was in'
mcdiately followed, but no trace of him could be found'
and on questioning the woman as to who or what he
was, she denied all knowledge of him, although she old'
mately acknowledged that the man had spoken to bet
in a joking way when he saw her looking in at the
window, and then followed her in ; but she said she
never saw him before in her life, and she
persisted in
this statement before the magistrate.
Mr. GREENWOOD said it would be necessary to bar
the evidence of the apprentice, and ordered the case t°,
be adjourned to this day (Monday) for that purpose.
