ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—lpswich, August 1.
The commission for this county, the last on the cir-
cuit, was opened yesterday afternoon, and their Lord-
ships took their seats to-day at twelve o'clock. The
cause list presented an unusually heavy entry, embrac-
ing 22 causes, of which nine are for trial by special
juries. It is stated that in some of these a " special
counsel" is retained, but the name of the " illustrious
stranger" has not yet been accurately ascertained. The
calendar contains the names of 37 prisoners, one of
whom is charged with murder, by poisoning her illegi-
timate child. Beyond this case, and two charges of arson,
there is not any of particular interest, except the follow-
ing, which, from the magnitude of the booty, may be
deemed worthy of notice.
Samuel Layton, aged 22, and John Layton, aged 28,
were charged with stealing forty sheep and three lambs,
the property of Joseph Eaton Hall, of Hawkedon.
Mr. PRENDERGAST conducted the ease for the prose-
cution, and proved that the prisoners, being brothers,
and living at Bury St. Edmund's, were seen, on the
night of the 18th of last month, " striding" along the
road towards the field in which the prosecutor had
folded a very large flock of sheep and lambs. In the
course of the same night the prisoners were seen re-
turning towards Ipswich, driving a flock of sheep along
the road, and on the following day the prosecutor counted
his flock, and missed no fewer than forty sheep and three
lambs, and information having been given of the pro-
ceedings of the prisoners, they and their flock, excepting
one sheep and three lambs, were traced to the East
Isham fair, where they sold 3,9 sheep, one of which was
clearly identified as the property of the prosecutor. As
to the one sheep and three lambs, they were discovered
to have been sold by the prisoners and taken to Bury,
but neither of that number was identified.

The prisoners, when called on for their defence,
stated that they had been employed to drive them for a
man; but that story did not gain much credit with the
jury, who at once found them both Guilty.
