ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 27.
(Before Mr. Justice CRESS WELL.)

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
_ _

David 7..urkington 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 Aas a fellow-passenger with the pro-
secutor, on board the Cremona, from that port to Liver-
pool. He and his wife slept in a small house on the
deck, which was also occupied by the prosecutor. The
latter described himself as having been a soldier in the
United States army for five years, and on his disc Large
received a sum of upwards of 501. for arrears of pay,
and for work of various kinds which he had performed.
Of this money he, some time after he left New Orleans,

sewed 40 sovereigns in a belt, and put the remainder in
a purse. These he some time after deposited in 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 the 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 not,
he seemed anxious, 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
gut 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 stuck was found to b 3 scooped a small
cavity, in which were a number of half-dollars, which,
however, formed no part of the property lost. On a
further search, in a large box he kept for his tools, a
small hole was found behind the lock, in which was a
sovereign. He said he had no more money. However,
in another 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 had been seen planing, were found 14
sovereigns. The prisoner, it appears, had several times
during the voyage represented himself as having no
money, and had repeatedly attempted to sell his watch
to obtain the means of going home to Ireland. Ho was
taken before the magistrate and discharged, but was
subsequently appreheuded and committed for trial. In
the sole of his boot several pieces of gold were found to
be hidden, he having been seen, it was said, during the
voyage, doing something to the boot in question.
Mr. Sergeant WrexiNs addressed the jury for the de-
fence, contending that there was no evidence to show the
prisoner had committed the rubbery—supposing the
prosecutor had ever been robbed at all. His denial of
being possessed of money was only in accordance with
the practice of his countrymen in that class of life, who,
when travelling, were wont, in some degree for security,
and in some degree to stimulate the k ndness and
charity of those among whom they were, to assume
a poverty which sometimes was nut real.
Verdict, Not Guilty.
William 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-
soner, a sailor, at a public-house called Storey's, in this
town. The prisoner asked the girl, the presecutrix's
companion, to go out with him, which she declined, and
shortly after, while he was sitting beside the prosecu-
trix, he, without apparently any provocation, struck her
with his sheath knifo on the knee. He then went out,
and the prosecutrix found herself wounded, the knife
having leassed through her clothes and inflicted a wound,
but not of any serious nature. He very shortly after,
as appeared on the second 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. On 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 making a second blow, when she put up her
band 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 alleged to have taken place, and that
there were many persons, men and women, assailing
the prisoner there. His own stogy corresponded with
this statement, and he declared that the wounds received
by the prosecutrix must have taken place accidentally,
when she was strug ;ling on the ground to get the knife
from him, he having 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 Maailade to a certain dwell-
ing-house.
Mr. Blair conducted the prosecution. The prisoner
was defended by Mr. Blackburn.
It appeared that about a year and 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 when the
circumstances occurred which resulted in the present
indictment, the prisoner went to the house, and after
haying some tea with the prosecutor, the subject of

money matters was introduced. The file of receipts fol.
moneys advanced by the prosecutor was produced, 011:A`
wiih respect to one of these, which had been received
from the prisoner's attorney, who drew up the lens`;
and who is since dead, a question arose. The prisonet
said it was not in the same handwriting as the 1411;
and according:ly that instrument was produced•
r.Teipt was compared with it, and the prisoner theof,'ssue
tnited that the former was a genuine instrument. Ima
prosecutor laid down the leese on the table, and turn d
round to look at his day-book. The prisoner, it w"li „
appear, took this opportunity of snatching
and running away with it. The prosecutor atterVtebe
to detlin Lim, but in vain. He was apprehenden.•to
same night about ten o'clock, and on being taken Int,
ciistedv by the officer, he said to the prosecnOto'
" Mi.cGlade, I have you now, and I give:you werniug
leave at this time twelvemonth."
Verdict—Guilty. Sentence deferred. up the lel
