ADMIRALTY COURT, August 4.
THE RANGER.
Dr. ROBINSON moved for a commission of appraise-
merit and sale of the ship in this case, under the follow-
ing circumstances:—The ship had beat sued by the
mariners for wages, and a sentence obtained. She was
now lying in the Graving Dock at Liverpool, subject to
a claim for dock dues, amounting to 27W., incurring
4-vt.ry neap tide an additional expense. Other claims, to
the extent of 200 L, were made against the ship, which
was daily deteriorating in value, and it was now worth
only 400/.

Sir J. Donsox (whn sat for Dr. LuAingtor,) consi.
dert d that, us the claims already exceeded the value of
the AT, and matters must bar getting worse every day,
he could do injury to no o^e, and might do good, by
decreeing the commission, which he accordingly granted.
The other business was of no public importance.

CROWN COURT.

Thomas Mayo, 29 ; George Albert, 26 ; and Samuet
Hayes, 24, were indicted for having, on the 6th of May
list, at Usk, feloniously and burglariously broken and
entered the dWelling-hous. of William Bull, and sti-len
therefrom a quantity of drapery goods ; and Charlotte
Mayo, 22, for receiving those goods, knowieg them to
have been stolen.
Mr. Grey conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Ilud-
dleston the defence
The pros. tutor was a grocer and draper in the town
of U. k. On the-night-of - the 6th of May his premises
were entered by persons who were evidently provided
with instruments for opening doors and windows, and
similar obstructions, and who took away a large quatittty
of goods So quietly was the burglary effected, that
none of the family were disturbed ; and the loss was not
discovered till morning. The evidence against the pri-
oners was to the following effict : —They landed at
Newport on the 4th of May and stopped till the Gth at
the Steam-packet Inn, in that town, they being total
strangers in the neighb.,urhood. On the 6th the three
male prisoners left Newport, the woman remaining be-
hind. On!the evening of that day they weld to a lodg-
ing-house at Usk, and stopped there till ten o'clock,
when they went away. About one o'clock in the
morning they were seen by a fisherman, and subse-
quently by another person, loitering in the streets.
About four o'clock in the morning they were seen again
near Bull's shop taking up bundles off the pavement, and
were afterwards met going out of the town on the New-
port road, with bundles on their backs. During the
rest of that day there was no further trace of them. On
the morning of the Bth, about five o'clock, they came to
the Steam packet Lrn, and the female prisoner called
the servant girl, with whom she slept, to let them in.
Sho did so. They had then several bundles with them,
which they took to one of the he f-rooms. Su-reji]
being excited, the police came .thout eight o'clock, arid
found the-to paeltiis tip u vast variety of articles, a great
part of whii.h were irlentf6.,d as the prosecutor's. They
!ourid also in their trunks a quantity of picklocks, ski-le-
ton keys, and other implements of burglary, and three
heavy life preservers. The woman was engaged in
packing up the articles with the other prisoners. She,
when she came to the inn, passed as the wife of Mayo,
but afterwards, when she was iaken to gaol, she said
she was not his wife They were all convicted.
A previous conviction was then p, oved against Albert
and Mayo, and it was stated that there was another in-
die,meni p.m.ling, for an- Cher burglary, in another shop
it. the same town, on the same night, but this was not
pr.icernl-d with.

On the prisoners-being.asked in the usual form what
ti.ey had to ,ay` sc by judgment ahuuld not be pas,,ed
up In hcm, _

Albert said he would beg for mercy for Hayes, as he
was led into crime by old and hardened offenders ; and
Mayo made a similar rrquest on behalf of the woman.
There was no previous charge against Hayes, nor
against the female prisoner, who had formerly borne a
character.

The priioners were severally sentenced—Albert and
Mayo to 20 years' traLsportation ; Hayes to 15 years'
transportat!on ; and Charlotte Mayo to 12 months' im-
prisonment.

MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Coventry, August 5.
(Before Mr. Baron Roue.)
Thomas Gilbert was charged with stealing a chestnut
inure at Stretton-under-Fusse, the property of Mr, John
Svuith.
Mr. Spooner stated the case for the prosecution, and
Mr. Miller defended the prisoner.
The case in some respects was remarkable. It ap-
peared that the prosecutor, who resides about thirty-five
miles from Walsall, in Staffordshire, on Tuesday even•
ing, the 20th of July, placed a mare in his field, and
the next morning (Wednesday), at five o'clock, she was
missing. The prosecutor immediately proceeded to Bir-
mingham, and on Thursday, the 22d, he saw tf e mare
:inswing a cart, upon which was the name of " Charles
Hall." The assistance of the police was obtainee ; Hall
was taken into custody, and he directly gave a descrip-
eon of the man from whom he had purchased the mare.
This prove to be a man named Henry Hyde, the driver
of a cab, and he in his turn was apprehended. Hyde.
having been first conveyed to the Birmingham police-
office, mentioned to Mr. Smith, the proprietor of the
inure, the description of the person from whom he had

toe next (Fi(idej) -Morning, he and Hyrle pro-
ceeded by omnibus from Birmingham to Walsall ;
and jut before entering that town. they met an-
other omnibus, upon which the prisoner Gilbert was
seated. They hailed the omnibus on which the pri-
soner was, and all three got off their respective convey-
ances. When :hey met Hyde asked the prisoner " how he
came to sell him a stolen mare?" The prisoner replied,
that he had bought it about a mile out of Birmingham,
but he did not know from whom. In answer to the in-
quiry, " What he thought would be-ome of him?" the
prisoner replied, "I shall be transported, and then my
family will knew what has become of me." The three
.hen repaired to Walsall, and thence by railway to Bir-
mingham, where the prisoner was given into custody,
aid thence to Brieklow, in the neighbourhood of Stret
ton-under. Fosse. The principal evidence against the
priseher, in addition to the above, may be briefly stated.
Hydeswore most positively that he saw the mare, which
was in a rough and dirty state, in Wolverhampton market
thout 11 o'clock on the Wednesday morning The pri -
miner offered it for sale, and it changed hands three or
rour times in the course of that day. Ultimately he
(Hyde) sold it to Mr. Hall.
Rebecca Holdsworth, a young woman, who, with her
oustiAnd, lodged in the prisoner's house, deposed that, on
the Tuesday evening, utter making a kind of pad or sad-
dle of an old rug or carpet, and to which he attached a
pair of rope stirrups, the prisoner left Walsall, as he
stated, for the purpose of going to Birmingham.
It was proved, that being taken up in a friend's " trap,"
he arrived in Dale-end, Birmingham, shortly bele Bin
the evuninit. Stratton-under-Fosse is about 25 miles
from Birmingham, and the difficulty of the case was how
he prisoner could travel that distance, and thence back
again with the stolen mare to Wolverhampton, by 11
eclock the following morning. To those, however, ac-
quainted with the country, and the means which the pri-
goner possessed of proceedine by railway from Birming-
ham to within eight miles of Strettun, there was little
,lifficulty in the matter.
Mr. MILLER very ably defended the prisoner.
Mr. Baron-R(ll,l'z having summed up the evidence,
The jury found the pris 'tier Guilty, and he was sen-
tenced to 18 months' tinprie,,nmene
Harris and Thomas Wootton, two stout and de --

three o'clock on the morning of the 26th of April. The
door wag broken open. I produce two crowbars; the
larger I found outside the door, and the smaller near
the brandy cask in the warehouse. The larger of these
two instruments was of itninense size, like these used by
stonemasons in the removal of heavy blocks of stone.
Joseph Norwood—I am a woodman in the employ of
Sir B. Peel, and reside at Hopwas, about ten miles from
Atherstone. - On Monday morning I was at Tamhorne-
bridge at Hopwas, and saw the two prisoners. It was
about six o'clock. Each of them sat upon a large bundle,
tied up in shawls, on •
the
"'wing-path under the bridge.
It was raining very
hard. I stayed with them under the
bridge for about half an hour. The prisoner Harris bad
a dark-coloured glass bottle standing beside him on the
ground. While we stood talking, Wootton pulled a si-
milar bottle out of his pocket, drank, and put it in again.
Harris asked me to drink, but I declined. There was a
pi,.ce of broAn paper in the neck of one bottle instead of
a cork, and I did not like th-41Joks--,of it. Harris took
a silk handkerchief out of pocket offered it me for
sale, but I told him
.I had a good one and should not
buy it. I after*lirds walked a quarter of a mile with
them along the road. They each carried a bundle.
One was of a pink, and the' other of a blue and white
check colour.

should have drunk. lam very fond of liquor.
Re-examined—They went in the direction of Street
Hay.
William Bond—l am a brickmak-er, reskitngst Street
Hay. I saw the two prisoners at that place on Monday,
the 26th of April, as near eight o'clock as may be. Street
Hay is about three `Miles from Hopwas. They turned
into my brickyard: each had a large bundle. I had some
conversation with them. Harris said, " Give us some-
thing to drink ; the best you have in the house." I had
known them before. I went and fetched them a drop of
beer. Bich of the prisoners had in his pocket a bottle.
I received one from Harris ; it bad brandy in it. I saw
both bundles opened. Harris opened "one, and Wootton
the other. This was in a lane adjoining the house. Each
bundle contained shawls and silk. There was a large
piece of black silk. Wootton said he should think the
goods were worth 201 Harris observed that he should
not care if they had 101. for them. Harris again said,
they had galloped a b-- horse that morning with the
goods. I received one handkerchief from Harris. Before
then I had sent information to the police by a gentleman
who was passing in his gig. I delayed them until the
police arrived.

prisoners before ; but it was net about this charge. It

Re-examined—Hansacre is about five miles from Street
Hay.
Joseph Oldham—l am constable in the employ of the
Trent aro Mersey Cenai Company. In consequence of
information I received I went in search of the prisoners,
in the direction of Hansacre. Near that place I saw a
silk shawl hanging on some gorse, near the footpath.
About a quarter of a mile further I met with the priso-
ners. They were lying on a high bank ; they appeared
to be asleep Two persons, William Whittinghatu and
Swingler, were with me. Two large bundles
were near the prisoners. I apprehended Harris, and
Wootton ran away, but Whittingham stopped him. I
handcuffed Harris before he could get up. I found in
his packet lucifer matches, a candle, a knife, and some
silk handkerchiefs. o bile I was searching Harris I saw
Wootton pull a bottle out of his pocket. He threw it
upon the towing-path and broke it to pieces. Yerle,
who had just come up, picked up the fragments. I took
possession of botti Wadies, and they

Harris said, " If he had had a chance to get away like
Wootton did he would have beaten that b-- brandy

goods were here produced.
Cross-examined by Me. ADAMS—From Hansacre to
Atheratone by canal would, I think, be upwards of 20
miles. A boat going from Manchester to Atherstone
would pass by the place where the prisoners were found.
John Yerle, policeman for the county of Stafford—l
came ur just as Oldham, Whittinghans, and Swingler
epproactied the prisoners I searched Wootton, and
found upon him the handkerchief I now produce, as also
the handkerchief I took from Harris's neck.
William Sawbridge—l am a draper, carrying on busi-
ness at Atherstone. I had been at Manchester on
Thursday, the 22d of April, and I purchased from
Messrs. Carlton, Walker, and Louis a quantity of
mousselin de-laines, shawls, ilks, four pieces of gam-
,loon, a piece of black silk, and a great number of silk
handkerchiefs. I placed my private mark upon the
goods I bought. The black and coloured silk now pro-
duced are part of the goods I bought. I can swear posi-
tively to them by their colour and my private mark. I
ordered them to be sent by Pickford's to Minion's wharf,
at Atherstone.
Mr. Johnstone, assistant to Messrs. Carlton and Co.,
of Manchester, deposed that he counted 2nd papered the
goods and gave Owns to the packer. They were of the
description of those produced. • One of the shawls has on
the private mark of Messrs. Walker and Co.
Hewitt, the packer, proved the packing of the goods
and delivering them over to Henry Duffy, one of the
clerks, to direct them to Messrs. 6awbridge of Ather-
stone.

Henry Duffy, clerk to Messrs. Carlton, deposed that
he directed the case and truss, and gave them to Pick.
ford's man for conveyance.
James Williamson, of Chilvers Coton, boatman, proved
receiving the cusp and truss from Picktord's clerk, at
Stoke-upon-Trent, and delivering them at Mr. Mini nf's
wharf, at Atherstone. -
This was the case for the prosecution.

property had not been traced from Manchester to Stoke-
upon-Trent.
Mr. Baron ROLFE summed up the case to the jury,
who immediately found both prisoners Guilty.
The Learned JUDGE passed the highest sentence the
law allowed him to pass for such an offence—seven years'
transportation.
Abraham Dawson, John Fawson, Christopher Walton,
George North, William Moore, and Henry Thompson.
were indicted with others for unlawfully and riotously
assembling to disturb the peace of the Queen, and that
they did assault and beat on,.
James Edwards.
Mr. Mellor conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Ma-
caulay defended the prisoners.
The circumstances of th.. case were of little public in-
terest. The prosecution arose out of an assertion of a
right of property. The prosecutor, a butcher and publi -
can in the city of Coventry, has r.,cently built a new
stable, as it was said, upon the old foundations, but as
sail by the father of. the Fawsona (and the grandtither
o 4 Walton), that the new erection had encroached upon
his property. The consequence was, that the defendants
proceeded to knock down the wall which
was said to en-
croach, and in so doing Committed the riot and assault
withiAluch they now stood charged.
The jury, after retiring for half an hour,
returned a
verdict of Not Guilty.
This concluded the business of the assizes.

WARWICK, Au, 4.
The commission of assize for this division of the county
was opened by Lord Denman at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
Up to ibis time 38 venires have been returned; so that
in all probability from 25 to 30 causes will be tried, and
