ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpaol, Aug. 27.
(Before Mr. Justice CnEsswELL.) _ _

The Court Was engaged nearly the whole day with two
special jury cases, one respecting a watercourse, and
another for a nuisance, the details of which were of no
interest but to the parties.
(Before Mr. Justice WIGIFITMAN.)
David 'lurhington was indicted for having, on the
high seas, stolen 40 sovereigns, the property of Patrick
Lynch.
The prisoner, it appeared, was an Irishman, who had
for some time carried on business as a cabinet-maker at
New Orleans, and was a fellow-passenger with the pro-
Aecutor, on heard the Crelnoneefrone that, pert 'to Liver-
p)ol. tie and his wife-slept in a sreall-hOti,,e- On.the
deck, whiph was also ocinipied by the peesecutor. The
:latter described himself as having been a soldier in the
United States army ,for ,five .years, and on. his disc'ertrge
received a sum of upwards of ilia. for 'arrears of pay,
and for work of various kincls which he had performed.
Of this money he, some time after he left New Orleans,
sewed 40 soverCign-ein a heir, and put theyernainder in
a purse. These he some .time after, deposited ins hiS
trunk, which was'in the small house on deck already
mentioned. On Easter Sunday he saw his money safe,
but on the folloWing Tuesday it was' gone. Inquiries
were; made on board the ship, and the passengers
were required to show what money they had got.about
them.. -The prisoner produced a purse with about 30s.
in it, which he declared was all ti:: money he had in the
world. The . search was unsuccessful. • During the
voyage,•the prisoner asked the prosecutor whether the
money he had lost was marked, and hearing it was nor,
he seemed arixious, several. times, to impress on the
mind of the prosecutor that, in that case, there was no
use in trying to press it any further, and that when he
got to Liverpool any attempt to recover it would be in
vain. The prisoner was observed, previous to the arrival
of the vessel at Liverpool, planing a small piece of wood,
and at another time busily engaged in doing something
to the stock of his gun. On approaching Liverpool, the
prosecutor went ashore, and came back with a policeman.
The prisoner's gun was examined, and behind the metal
plate on the stock was found. to be scooped a small
cavity, in which were a number of half-dollars, which,
however, formed no part of the property lest. On a
further search, in a large box ho kept for his tools, a
small hole was found behind the lock, in which was a
sovereign. He said he hail no more money. However,
in anot her smaller box, placed behind a, small bar of wood
which ran across the lid to strengthen it, and which was
similar to the bar he kid been seen planing, were found l 4
sovereigns. The prisoner, it appears, had several times
during the voyage represented himself as haying, no
money, and bud repeatedly attempted to sell his watch
to obtsiu the means of genie. home to Ireland. He was
taken before the magistrate and discharged, but was
•VArbsequently apprelaeirled and .conatnitted for trial.. In
In
the sole of his. boot ,several pieces of gold-were found to
-he hidden, he having, been seen, it WftS said, during the
voyage,' doing something to the boot in question.
Mr. Sergeant WeeierNs addressed the jury for the de-
fence, contending that there was no evidence to show the
prisoner had committed the robbery-supposing the
prosecutor ha l ever been robbed at all. His denial of
being possessed .of money Was only in accordance with
the practice of his cottn6ryinen in that class of life, who,
when travelling, :were wont, in some degree for security,
and in some degree to stimulate the kaidness and
charity of those am,)ng whom they were, to assume
a poverty which sometimes was not real.
Verdict, Not Guilty.
'Villain Crawley was tried, on two successive indict-
ments,• -for cutting and wounding Mary Lawton and
Catherine Riley.
Mr. James appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner
was not defended by counsel.
It appeared from the statement of Mary Lawton that
she, being in company with another girl, met the pri-
sener, a sailor, at a public house called Storey's, in this
town. The prisoner asked the girl, the prosccutrix's
companion, to ro out with him, which she declined, and
shortly actor, while he was sitting beside the prosecu-
trix, lie; without apparently:any provocation, struck her
with his sheath knife en the loge. He then went out,
end the proaecutrix found herself wounded, the knife
havinglo.ssed thr.iugh her clothe and inflicted a wound,
but not of any serious nature. He very shortly after,
as ;Appeared on the ecoud indictment, went to the house
where Riley lived with her- mother, and, according to
Riley's statement, without any provocation whatever,
broke his pipe across her face. She had known the pri-
soner before. Oe her going into the house he followed
her, and went up stairs, where without, as the witness
declared, anything further occurring, he kicked a young
woman of the name of Toole, who was in the prosecu-
trix's company, and stabbed Riley herself in the cheek,
and was malting a second blow, when she put up her
nand and was wounded in one of the fingers.
At the desire of the prisoner, the prosecutrix's mother
was called. She said that.she had been up in the room
above where this was ails ged to hare taken place, and that
there were many per,:ons, men and women, assailing
'lie prisoner there. His own story corresponded with
this statement, and he declared that the wounds received
by the prosecutrix must have taken place accidentally,
when' she wasestrug;li e; on the ground to get the knife
from hini, he: baying been obliged to draw it in self-
defence.

Verdict on each indictment, Guilty of a common
assault.

To be imprisoned ten months on each indictment.
James Lyon, a dissipated drunken-looking man, was
indicted under the statute for stealing a lease, being evi-
dence of the title of John Maallade to a.certain dwell-
ing-house.
Mr. Blair conducted the prosecution. The prisoner
was defended by Mr. Blackburn.
It appeared that about a year anal a half ago the prose-
cutor took from the prisoner a lease for twenty-one years
of the dwelling-house in question. The prisoner was in
embarrassed circumstances, and the prosecutor several
times advanced him money. On the evening whyn:the
circumstances occurred which resulted in the presA'lt
indictment, the prisoner went to the house, and after
haying some lea with the prosecutor,. the. subject of

money matters was introduced. The file of receipts fo.r,
moneys advanced by the prosecutor was produced, WI,
with respect to one of these, which had been receive"
from the prisoner's attorney, who drew up the lease,
and who is since dead, a question arose; The prisoner
sail it was not in the same handwriting as the le,sei.
and accordingly that instrument was produced. ulhe
rmeipt was compared with it, and the prisoner then IL
mif ted that the former was a genuine instrument. 11w.
prosecutor laid down the lease on the table, and turned
round to look at his day-book. The prisoner, it wo
appear, took this opportunity of snatching up the len
and running away with it. The prosecutor atteolP,r;
to detain him, but in vain. He was apprehended to_
same night about ten o'clock, and on being taken int°
custody by the officer, he said to the prosecoti/r1
" Mac Glade, I have you now, and I give:you warning tu
leave at this time twelvemonth."
•
Verdict—Guilty. Sentence deferred.
