OXFORD CIR C CUT . Gloucater, April 6.
RO‘N'N COURT.
Esau TroUghton, 30, .was indicted fiir breaking
and entering the, dwelling-house of Charles Cull, at
Ashchurch, on the 24th of November, and stealing
therefrom a ,silver watch, some silver spoons, and
other articles.

The prisoner was in the prosecutor's employ, as a
farm servant, living in the house. In the morning of
the day in question, Mr. and Mrs. Cull went to
Tewkesbury, givii:g the prisoner orders to attend to the
field work on the farm, and on their return in the
evening, about six o'clock, they found that some per-
son had entered the house by forcing the bolt of a
window, and then putting their hands through, had
opened the door. On going up-stairs they discovered
that some boxes had been completely ransacked;
everything was in confusion, and the articles enume-
rated in the indictment stolen. Several circum
stances tended to attach suspicion to the prisoner,
who gave a man some cider, and was seen in the
cider-house about the time that the robbery was sup-
posed to have been committed, when his master's
orders, and his own duties, should have found him at
work in the fields. The next day some of the stolen
spoons, wrapped up in a handkerchief, were found
hidden in the thatch of the stable. This handker-
chief belonged to the prisoner's brother Isaac, but
was seen in Esau's possession on the day of the
robbery.
A melancholy feature in this case was that of the
prosecution calling the prisoner's aged mother as a
witness to prove the ownership of the handkerchief.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and two pre-
vious convictions, on one of which he was adjudged to
be transported, were proved against him.
Mr. Justice CRESSWELL said that all reformation
in him appeared to be totally hopeless, and passed
sentence of fourteen years' transportation.
William Bean, 26, brought,up by a writ of habeas
corpus from Bristol gaol, was indicted for feloniously
intermarrying with Elizabeth lleddow, at Clifton, on
the 13th of June, his former wife, Fanny Spriggs,
being then alive.
The JUDGE told him his case was not a very aggra-
vated one ; still a man deceiving a woman under such
circumstances, entailed great injury on the individual
and occasioned more evil to society than when a
woman committed the offence of bigamy. It was true
he had not done the woman the injury he might have
done, as it appeared he had never lived with her under
the same roof after the completion of the ceremony,
and not, therefore, consummated the marriage; still
women's feelings were not to be trifled with, and
their hopes of domestic happiness destroyed by men
acting towards them in such a way.
Sentence, three months hard labour.

was in company with a young
man walking near
the place called B I Summer, their
Box ley ummer, when attention
was directed to a hat
lying
on the ground, about two
rods inside of the wood, which is a short distance from
the church. On going
to the hat they found a black
silk stock in it, and on . .
their looking up they saw the
body of a
well
dressed man hanging to the branch of a
tree close by. This circumstance was made known to
the village constable, and the body was cut down. The
deceased, there was no doubt, had committed self-
destruction by hanging himself with packing line,
which was four times doubled ; his feet were about a
foot and a half from the ground. Ile had on a brown
frock cloth coat, black trousers, and a very good pair of
Blucher boots, and altogether his dress was respectable.
In his pockets were found one farthing and two small
bottles which had contained laudanum, and a bottle that
had gin in it. There was also a note written, beginning
with .‘ Dear Uncle—l have put Mary to bed. You may
think it strange that I have not done my work as usual,'
&c. There was no signature, but outside there is the
name of William Bishop. The deceased appeared to be
about forty years of age. In the absence of evidence as
to who he was, a verdict was returned " That the de-
ceased was found dead, banging to a tree."
RAMSGATE —Upwards of sixty tubs of spirits have
been brought to the Custom-Louse hero, which were
found buried iu the land near to this place. It is sup-
posed that they have been landed from a boat Lelonging
to Dover.
