RAILWAY.

Second Deposit of 11.

The Shareholders' Committee request those who have paid their
secoad deposit of it. per share, in ignorance of the true state of the
Company's affairs, and who are opposed to the continuance of the
scheme, and wish their money returned, IMMEDIATELY to for-
ward their names, addresses, and numbers of shares held by them
respectively. Such as are original shareholders will be kind enough
to state the fact. FREDERIC LAWRANCE,...

REAT NORTH AND SOUTH WALES
RAILWAY.

The Committee appointed by the Shareholders to oppose this Bill
in Parliament have succeeded in getting the second reading of the
Bill postponed till Monday, the 9th inst., and the petition presented
by the London shareholders has been ordered by the House to be
printed.
Petitions against the Bill will lie for signature with the following
brokers and solicitors :—Mr. Wads worth, broker, Leeds ; William
Ackers, solicitor, Manchester ; William Penn Allcock, solicito-,
Birmingham ; Mr. Carvill, broker, Hull ; W. D. Fran, broker, 7,
Northumberland-street, Huddersfield ; Roger Adamson, solicitor,
Liverpool ; and John Bates, Esq., sharebroker, Founders' Hall-
court, Lotbbury, London. _ _

As the petitions must be presented to the House on Monday after-
noon next, it is requested by th 3 Committee that every shareholder
will attend at once and sign, and they have no doubt it requires but
elittle exertion on the part of the shareholders to insure the rejec-
tion of the Rill and prevent any further waste of the fluids of the
Company in a vain attempt to carry a scheme so utterly worthless.

ASSIZE IN TEL LIGENCE.

HOME ClRCUlT.—Chelmsford, March 5.
CROWN COURT.—(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON.)
George Hart, 22, was indicted for having feloniously
cut and wounded John Fuller, with intent to do him
grievous bodily harm.
On other counts the prisoner was charged with the
intent to rob the prosecutor.
Mr. Ryland conducted the prosecution.
It appeared that the prosecutor was a farmer in the
neighbearhood of Chelmsford, and on Friday, the 16th
January, he had been to the market at that place, and
was returning home between six and seven o'clock in
the evening, being at the time what is called market-
fresh, or a little the worse for the good liquor he had
imbibed. It was a very dark night, and when he had got
about a mile out of the town he heard the footsteps
of a man a little behind him. He walked on,
the man still keeping close to him, and when they got
near a cottage by the roadside the man left him. He
proceeded on his journey, and when he had got on the
road about half a mile farther, he suddenly received a
violent blow by a stick or bludgeon, which felled him to
the ground. A man instantly fell upon him and seized
him, and at the same instant he received several severe
cuts upon the head, and upon raising his arm to protect
himself, he received a cut across his wrist. The
struggle continued for some time, and at length the man
who had attacked the prosecutor, apparently alarmed at
the approach of some one, jumped up and ran away.
The prosecutor was found in a dreadful state, covered
with blood, and almost exhausted, and upon inquiries
being made of him he was unable to give more than a
very slight account of his assailant ; and the only
additional circumstance likely to give any assistance in
the discovery of the perpetrator of the outrage, was the
finding of the peak of a cap, .ateele as is worn by la-
bouring men, near, the place where the struggle took
place. Upon those slight materials, however, owing to
the activity and zeal displayed by the constabulary sta-
tioned at Chelmsford, and the care taken in the investi-
gation of the matter by the magistrates, the charge was
clearly brought home to the prisoner. The.evidenee
was entirely of a circumstantial character, and consisted
of minute facts, all tending to show the guilt of the
accused. It was proved that on the night in question,
and about the time the offence was committed, he was
seen going in the same direction as the prosecutor • that
he arrived at his own lodging shortly after the of-
fence had been committed ; that the peak of the cap
which was found belonged to the cap the prisoner
had been in the habit of wearing ; that he had
purchased a new cap immediately afterwards, and
told the officer that he had fell asleep before the fire,
and that it had dropped off and was burned; and, be-
sides this, it was proved that when the_ prisoner was
taken into custody he was dressed in entirely new
clothes, and the clothes which, according to the testi-
mony of the witnesses, he had worn on the night of the
attack upon the prosecutor were found in the house
very bloody.
The prisoner, when called upon for his defence. said
that he could not say any more than that he was at
home at the time.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up, said he
thought that all the parties concerned in the adminis-
tration of justice in this county, not only in this parti-
cular case, but in several others that had come before
him during the assises, deserved very great credit,
for the very careful and searching manner in
which all the cases appeared to have been investigated,
and the pains that had beeil taken to produce all the ne-
cessary facts in evidence. It was highly important to
society that, where great crimes were committed, the
perpetrators of them should be brought to justice, and
this could only be done in many cases by a most careful
inquiry—by looking at attentively, and considering
circumstances, which at first might appear trivial, but
which eventually might. when combined with other
facts, make out a chain of circumstances entirely incom-
patible with the innocence of the party accused of the
crime, and which must always be considered as the most
satisfactory evidence that could possibly be adduced in
support of a charge.
The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict
of Guilty.
Evidence was then adduced to show, that on two pre-
vious occasions the prisoner had been convicted of
hOusebreaking.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, on passing sentence, told
the prisoner that he had been convicted of a most
henious offence, and he might think himself very
fortunate that be was not standing at the bar to answer
a charge of murder, for if he were, there was very little
doubt that he must have been convicted, and his lfe, un-
doubtedly have been forfeited. Taking into considera-
tion the character of the offence, and the circumstances
under which it had been committed, he felt that the
duty he owed to the public, and the necessity, by a se-
vere example, to dett r others from the commission of
the like offence, left him no alternative but to pass upon
him the full sentence of the law, which was that he be
sentenced beyond the seas for the term of his natural
/II 11.

James Harding, 2577.1-an--offy;23-, Yerr2l:lgaYne";
25, soldiers belonging to the 93th regiment of foot, were
indicted for a felonious assault upon Elizabeth Aldred.
It appeared from the evidence, that the offence with
which the prisoners were charged was committed under
most aggravated circumstances. So far as they will
admit of being described, it may be stated that is the
beginning of last August, the prosecutrix, accompanied
by her husband, was going across a field in the direction
from Tilbury Fort to West Tilbury, where they met the
prisoners, all of whom were Irishmen, and one of them
inquired bow far it was to the fort. They were told that
it was about a mile off, and immediately afterwards
they came up to the prosecutor and her husband, and
one of them said that she was not his lawful wife, and
they would have her with them, and at the same moment
the husband was struck to the ground by a tremendous
blow of a bludgeon. The men then seized the unfortu-
nate woman, and all three of them perpetrated the of-
fence, her husband lying by a portion of the time, bleed-
ing and insensible ; but it would appear that he got up
at one period of the transaction and attempted to go to
the assistance of his wife, when he was again knocked
down in the most brutal manner. The prisoners alter-
nately dragged the woman, away, telling her that her
husband was dead, and that they would murder her, and
then there would be no witnesses against them. The
husband, as soon as the prisoners were gone, contrived
to crawl to the villiage, where he obtained assistance,
and the prisoners were apprhended shortly afterwards.
The jury found the prisoners Guilty.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, having made some appro-
priate observations upon the enormity of their offence,
sentenced them to be transported fur life.
When sentence was delivered, the prisoners, as is cos
handcuffed, and the moment this was done

prisoner

threw his cap into the jury-box,
and at the same time said, " There, you
take that; you'll know the want of soldiers before long."
He then struck his handcuffs violently against the iron
spikes surrounding the dock, evidently with the intention
of breaking them, when he was overpowered by the
officers in attendance, and removed from the dock. He
was shortly afterwards taken away in the van to the gaol,
and as he was getting into the vehicle, he threw his
cap, which had been restored to him, among the crowd,
and called out, " Good bye to Old England, I shall not see
you any more'
