OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Monmouth, April 2.
The Commission for this county was opened yesterday by
Chief Baron Pollock. The civil business is light and uniti-
tereting. The calendar contains the names of. ,eventy four
prisoners. The Chief Baron took his seat this morning at
ten o'clock, and in his charge to the grand jury alluded to
the large number of prisoners presented
.in the calendar,
owing to their having held no adjourned session prior to the
assizes. Not expecting such an increase, and their time
being limited, arrangements had been made with his Learned
Brother Platt, who would commence assisting him in trying
prisoners as soon as bills sufficient had been returned into
Court by them.
Samuel Jones, 34, was indicted for stabbing and wounding
William Jones, on the 23d September.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor, that him-
self, the prisoner, and others, had been dining at the Church
Inn. Prisoner began jumping and dancing about, and did
not seem like a man ; he was preaching and praying ; then
he talked about fighting, said he was the champion of Eng-
land and Wales, and would have a ploughing match for a
sovereign. Prosecutor and another man took him out with
them. On prosecutor coming up, he stabbed and cut him
on the right thigh with a knife. The poor fellow fell down,
and was carried into a neighbour's house. He was perma-
nently lamed from the injuries he received.
In cross-examination, witness said prisoner was 'a tidy
man, and had sustained an injury on the head. He said
that he repented having married the woman he did.—
(Laughter.)
Mr. HUDDLESTON—That's no proof of derangement or in-
sanity, you know.
CHIEF BARON—It may be all very well for single men to
say so.—( Laughter.)
Prosecutor said he did not think prisoner knew what he
was doing at the time.
A long argument ensued as to his intention.
Mr. HEDDLESTON said he could not struggle against an
