Mr. Baron PAISKE then said that taking into considera-
tion the circumstances of the case, and the fact that the
prisoners appeared to have already undergone some im-
prisonment, be thought tee justice of the case world
to satisfied by the infliction of a fine of one shilling upon
etch of the defendants, and that they should also be im-
prisoned for three days.
William Pearce, 45, was charged with the manslaughter
of Anne Hills.
It appeared from the evidence adduced that the prisoner
and the deceased bad a dispute about some trifling matter,
and the deceased threw a tea cup at the prisoner, and he
struck her. She then, it appeared, bit him, and in the
scuffle she fell to the ground, and injured her head so se-
verely that she died shortly afterwards.
The Jury returned a verdict cf Guilty, and Baron
Parke, on consideration of his having already been in
prison several months, sentenced him to a further impri-
sonment of one month.
OXFORD CIRCUIT_STAFFORD, 3.1-Ancir 17.
Matthew Fowles was indicted for the wilful murder of
Martha Keeling.
From the evidence it appeared that the deceased, who
was an old woman (a widow), of 60 years of age, kept a
small eating-house in the town of Nee castle, undes-Liee.
The prisoner, who is a young man, 22 years of age, had for
a short time previously to the 17th of September, lodged in
the house of the deceased. She bad no other lodger. On
the night of Wednesday, the 16th of September, the d. -
ceased, who was a strorg healthy woman, was seen alive
and well in her own house. The prisoner was also shown
to have been in the house the same evening, and some
of :he witnesses deposed to having seen in the window
of the shop, at the sate time'a newly-dressed fowl.
On the following morning, the house not being opened
at its usual time, the suspicions of the neighbours %sere
excited, the police were sent for, and the house entered
about ten o'clock, the back door being forced open. Upon
going up-stairs the old woman was found in bed, quite
deal, ling on her back, her hen& crossed on her twee,
and eviderit marks of hands upon her tt roar. The sur-
geons whe examined the body distinctly proved that death
had been occasienel by strenguletion, and there were
various marks upon tee body showing that there had been
a cansiderab:e struggle between herself and the murderer.
A silver spoon was found in her pocket, nerd a man's nigh -
cap was upon a chair by her bed side. A mahogany box
in the room opposite to tee bed-room of the deceased was
found broken open, and various articles of prop: r.y in it
were missing. There was only one other bed in the
house, in which one person only appearei to have sleet.
The fowl also was missing from the shop window, and
the prisoner was not to be found. Evidence was give:
to show that in the course of the Wednesday t. e
prisoner had agreed to purchase a pilet coat of a tailor in
,he town, named Jackson, and had promised to call and
pay fur it at seven o'clock the same evening. di I not
come accerdiug to his appointment, but on Thursday
evening, about four o'clock, he called upon Jackson, it
then raining heavily, and making an excuse fur not hav-
ing come the previous night, paid bile a half-sovereign f. r
the pilot coat, which he put on, aid went away with,
stating that he was going s' on the tramp," for that wages
were low at Newcastle. Ha was identified by another
person, who met him in the street shortly afterwards, and
it was shown that a little before five he enter el a cottage
on the road from Newcastle to the Whitmore station on
the Grand Junction Railway, in which cottage he stayed
about 20 minutes. While there, Ile pulled a dressed fowl
out of his pocket, ate a part of it, and gso the rest to
the cottager; he wad seen in the same cottegs
take a purse vi h three sovereigns out cf his puck t.
ael a large handful Of silve., which he counted. Ile
then proceeded to the Whitmore station, which he
reached about six o'clock, and after inquiring the fairs to
different places, at first said he was going to Liverpool,
but afterwards changel his mind and proceedel to Bi--
mingimet by a first-class train, though the inspector told
him if he would wait till nine o'clock, he might go fer
several shillings less. The guard of the railway train
proved that the prisoner, on the same day (Thursday) re-
turned front Birmingham by a first-class train to Hart-
f, rd-bridge station, which is two miles distant from North-
wick, where it was shown he had formerly resided. The
Prisoner's track was closely followed by the police, and on
the night of Friday the 181 h, (the day following the mur-
der,) he was apprehended at Davenham, two miles from
Northwieh. He was told that he was charged with the
murder of an old woman as Newcastle. tie protestel
his inneeence, and said that he hal never slept at New-
castlo at all. In his pocket was found 11. 10z. 63. in
silver, and in his waistcoat pocket a pin and a ring, both
of which two nieces of the deceased stated their belief
had belonged to thrEr aunt; and i:, appeercd that there
were marks on the fingers of the murdered woman as if
a ring had been forced from it, with which marks the
ring toured on the prisoner exactly corresponded,
After hearing other evidence the Jury found the pri-
soner Guilty, and the Leareed Judge sentenced him to
Dente stating thit no reasonable man could doubt that
the Jury had come to a rght conclusion ; and that no hope
of mercy could be held out to the perpetrator of so foul
a crime.

The prisoner, xsho is a young man of 22, descrilnd in
the calendar as able to read and write well, showed little
appearance of emotion during the trial, and asserted his in-
nocerem to the last.

CURIOII3 CASE. —Catherine Edden was indicted for
perjury.

defendant, who is a young unmarried woman, give
birth to a child on the 9th of December last in the Tim..
worth union workhouse, where she had been obl;ged to
take refuge, and being brought before the guardians about
a month ago. she charged Mr. Thorneloc, the prosecutor
in the case, with beirm,the father of the child. The usual
application was accordingly made to the Magistrates in Petty
Sessions for an order of afiiistion on the prosec,:tir, and
upon his appearance before the bench on the 2.1 Febrtrsry
' last the defendant swore that the illicit intercourse
which had rendered it necessary ti make that application
to the Magi:tr,tes took place on the 25th of March, 1340,
at her mother's house about four o'clock in the afternoon.
According to her statement the prosecutor dinel there on
that day between one and two o'clock, and her brother Je-
seph went after dinner to fetch her mother home from D tr.
ton, seven miles off, front which place she did not return
til six o'clock in the evening. The prosecutor called
his servant, Jane Gee, to prove that he dined at home
on the day in questim, and that he did net go to Mrs.
Edien's till af.er two o'clock; and two persons, of the
name of Bond and Sherratt, stated that Mrs. Edden
was at home when they went there, about two o'clock ;
that they left about three, and that the prosecutor went
away Mare them. A man named Jackson was also
called, who deposed, in contradiction to statements made
by the defendant on her cross-examinati iv, that he ha 1
been admitted to criminal familiarities with her,
and, upon the testimony thus adduced, the Magis-
trates refused to make any order. Mr. Thorneloe
then indicted the defendant for perjury, and upon his
examination as a witness to-day swore that no
improper intimacy had ever sub•isted Lecsveen them, and
contradicted the other parts ef the defendant's st ,ternett
heft.re mentimed. On the ether hand the second witness
railed to support the case for the prosecution swore as
positively, though with less vehemence, that the prosecu-
tor did dine at Mrs. Edden's on the 25th of March, and
that he calved for the company, and she ststel that Mrs.
Edden was not at home during dinner time, and did not
return home till about six o'clock, when her son Jo'oph
brought her home. The witnesses Gee, Bond, and Sh r-
ray., called by the prosecutor to prove his cause before the
Magistrate, were not in attendance tr-day, and when tie
man Jackson was called, Mr. C. Poillips objected tha: his
evidence could not be received upon technical grounds.
The Learned JUDGE held that the evidence was inad-

-- •
mistible, and the defendant wa3 accordingly acquittel

NORTHERN CIRCUIT—YORK, MARCH 17.
IVillianz licpwor:h, 22,; was charged with the wilful
murder of Ann Scorah, at Swinton, and George East-
wood. 21, was charged with aiding and abetting in the
said murder.

'1 his case occupied the Court fir several hours, but the
plit;eipal facts lie in a small compass. On the night of
the 28th of January. the prisoners, who were drunk,
knocked at the door of the deceased, who had no sooner
opened it than she encountered a volley cf stones. She
shut the door ; whereupon a second disehaige of stones
was heard thundering at the door. Secrah then snatched
up en old gun and rim after the assailants, when wounds
were inflicted on her person, whereby de:tit was caused.
The JUIME did not think there was a case of murder
against Oiler of the prisoners, but left the case to go to
the Jurv.

Mr. ROEBUCK addressed the Jury for the prisoner ilep-
snr.ls., eM; that there was no evidence to shom that
ow was eiven to the old woman by him.
Mr. WILKINS then addressel the Jury for Eastwood,
of er which several rcs.pectade witne3ses were called, who
gave the pr's;ners good characters fur humanity.
The Learned JUDfir. summed up, after which the Jury
almost immediately found Hepworth Guilty of Mar.-
slAughtcr, and Eastwood of aiding and abetting.
Toe prisoners were then sen7enced to be imprisoned for
two months in the Castl).

Sit PETER Laum—They escaped, and I dare say per-
suaded you to join in the affair? Prisoner—They escaped.
I woul I rather say no more on that subject. I have suf-
fered the penalty of the law, and I came out on the Ist of
March, and have been walking abt.ut ever since, for no-
body will employ me.
Sir P. LAURIE—Poor boy I I believe there are thou-
sands in the same condition. What is an unfortunate fel-
low who regents the first act of detected dishones'y to do?
Every one is afraid to employ him, and he cannot lie down
and starve. I believe the tviderzc3 given by the Chaplain
to Coldbath-fieldsprison, who sail before a Parliamentary
Committee, that he never lost sight of a prisoner a't e
first introduction to prison until de ith or transportation i
tcrfvred.

Prisoner—l am clesirous of going out of the country, my
Lord', and I know of no other way of getting ouP, and I
trust that you will kindly assist me.
Sir P. LAURIE-I shall commit you for trial, and repre-
sent your case, and I hope that you may be treated merci-
fully.

Sir P. LAURIE—He is com.nitted for trial. Let laimbe

st retit, with endeavouring to pass a bat ss. piece.
Mr. Houston's shopman stated that the prisoner came

Thursday James Chapman, aged 23, respectably attired,
was charged by Edward Henty Chapman, Esq., of Harin-
gey House, flornsey, with having entered his house with
intention to commit felony.
The prosecutor stated that he is a county Magistrate.
On Wednesday nigh., about half-past seven o'clock, he
was sitting at dilner with his family, when his attention
was attracted by a noise at the ball-door, as if some one
was attempting to force it open ; wad subsequently a loud
ringing at the bell, when the servants informed him that
the priso. er had attempted to break into the house. He
instantly proceeded down stairs, an found !hi prisoner in
the 11111, con lucting hims'lt i i a wild and incoherent
manner. Ile could not say what the intention of th.: psi.
saner was, but the Northumberland Asylum for Lunatics
being within :hie° miles of Harihgay lions-, he concluded
that the prisoner might have made his escape from that
establishment.

Sergeant Williams, 44 N, stated that the prisoner when
at the station-house conducted himself in a cool manne.,
and gave his name. James Chapman, but in the morning
he assumed madness, and indulged in theatrical antic,..
Witness traced his father to be living at N.. 3. Felemi
terrace, Stoke Newington. The prisoner after being
locked up continued whistling and singing. Witness be
that he went to the house for an unlawful purpose,
and that he was no more in id than he was.
Mr. GREENWOOD (to the prisoner)—What is your
name? Prisoner (looking vacantly)•—Za ze-z; zo-zuni.
Mr. GREENWOOD—Nonsense, that is till put or.
'I hit prosecutor said that when the prisoner was seized
by him and his servants, he r:sisted violently, and broke a
pane of g'ass with his hand, which was severely cut in con-
sequence._

Mr. GREENWOOD (to the prisone )---What have you to
say ? Prisoner— Za-ze- zi-z )-zum.—( Laughter. )
Mr. GREENWOOD said :hat he was inclined to believe that
the prisoner could not be in his proper senses, and thought
the parish officers of Hornsey should be sent for, in order
that he might be examined by the doctor. and passed to
Hanaell Lunatic Asylum.

WORSHIP-STREET.
A few days since Mr. Campion and friends came to this
Court to compliin that having made an excursion into
Essex last week, they engaged and pail for their return in
the evening by Mr. Wragg's Waltharnstow coach.
They paid- twelve shillings for a party of eight, ex-
pecting that they were to have fr:e occupancy of the coach,
and when it was ready they t)ok their places, four inside,
and tLe rest out. It appeared, however, that other re--
sons bad booked for inside planes, and the driver lila ted
upon eject'ng in their f vJur such of the complainants as
preferie I the interior, and to put the whole of them out-
side. To such an arrangement they objected, whereupon
thu driver detached the horses and put them to an omnioua,
in wLich he drove off to town with his other pa;aengers,
and left the complainants to kick their heels in or upon
the unhorsed coach. After basing been some time ex-
pe2ed in this ridiculous position, they procured another
conveyance to town, and subsetpently came here to charge
Mr. Wragg or his peop!ewi.h taking their money under
false pretences.
A summons was granted against Mr. Wragg as proprietor
of tLe coach, and the hearing of the case took placo before
Mr. Brought in, the Magistrate, who, after much inquiry,
f-,and that the 12s. certainly had been received on con-
dition of conveying the complainants to town, which had
not Le en done, and he decided, t erefore, that Mr. Wragg

that when the whole are finished, it will henorne al

t.f all competent judges who have visited her, both fre.
the beautiful proportions of her figure, and for the prodi
pious strength and solidity which is imparted to her prin-
cipal joints. Her Stern is round, instead of square. which
has an agteezble effect on the eye, and by allowing the

others of iron, run in every direction, lapping over one
another in some cases to a thickness of fifteen inches. A visit
to this magnifietmt vessel is an interesting right. She is far
advanced towards completion; her main deck is laid, and

Thursday afternoon about three o'clock, as two
men, of fashionable exterior, who were in a gig drawn by
a spirited. horse, were proceedisg along Hounsditch, the
animal, frightened by a sudden new, started off at a fear- 1
ful rate towards Aldgate. The reins breaking, the driver
lost all control of the horse, when a young man named
William Matthews, a vender of small articles in the street,
observing their danger, at the risk of his life rushed for-
ward and seized the horse by the head. In doing this, be
stumbled, and the horse, continuing his career, dragged
hira a considerable distance ; he, however, kept hold of the
rains, and at last succeeded in stopping the animal, be-
