'ENCE.

_ -
NORFOLK CIRCUIT NORWICH, MARCH 31.
CROWN COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Wightman )
Sarah Hannibal!, aged 31, was indicted for felo-
tiously setting fire to the d weling-imuse of the Mayor
and Corporation of Yarmouth, one Joseph Giles being
in it.

Mr. Evans and Mr. C:ierry were counsel for the pro-
secution.

It appeared that on the 19th of the present marith the
prisoner was an inmate of the Yarmouth gaol, and that,
having fallen ill, she was taken to the infirmary, and
there placed in private bedzoom. At 10 o'clock at night
the matron visited her as usual, and left her going to
bed without any light. In three-quarters of an hour
she rang her bell violently, and when Mr. J. Giles, the
gaoler, and the matron opened the door they found the
Eel and florr all on fire, the room filled with dense
volumes of smoke, and the prisoner standing at the
door gasping for breath and attired in her nightdress,
over which she had flung a blanket. Fortunately the
fire was soon extinguished, and on the following day
the prisoner sent a message through the chaplain to the
gaolor, to whom she stated that after she had got into
bed, on the night in question she lay awake, thinking
how she might destroy her, till she recollected that she
had got a lucifer match, _after which she got up, and,
lighting the match, set fire to the bedclothes, and then
got into bed, but that when she felt the flames she did
not like the pain, and got up and gave the alarm by
ringing the bell.

The prisoner, when called on for her defence, was
silent.

The jury at once found her guilty, and
Sentence of death was recorded.

Henry Watson, aged 50, and Joseph. Neale, aged 36,
were indicted for shooting at Henry Roberts, with in-
tent to murder him and to do bim bodily harm.
Mr. Naylor and Mr. Bulwer appeared for the prose-
cution. Mr. Wiliam Cooper defended the prisoner.
The prosecutor is the gamekeeper of Mr. Bagge, the
member for West Norfolk, and was out on the night
charged in the indictment, when be and another keeper
heard a gun fired in a wood. On entering the wood
they soon came upon thetwo prisoners, armed with guns.
Watson then called to Neale to shoot, and he obeyed,
the contents of his gun lodging in Roberts's elbow and
arm. Upon this the keepers closed, and a fearful strug-
gle ensued. Roberts, though wounded, laid bold of
Neale, while the other keeper seized Watson. Roberts,
as might be expected, got the worst of it, but his com-
panion mastered Watson-, who cried for quarter, and
was released." He had no sooner got on bis legs than
hs seized a stick and assaulted his antagonist, who was
assisting the other keeper. This treachery roused the
tso keepers, and crippled though one of them was, they
managed to give the poachers a dreadful beating, and
then secured them and took them off captive to the
station. .

The jury having found both the prisoners guilty,
His Lordship sentenced Watson, who was a notorious
offender, to four years' penal servitude, and awarded to
Neale the milder punishment of two years' itnprisonrnent.
NISI PEWS COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Wightman.)
SCALES V. PLUMMER AND OTHERS. •
Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Palmer were counsel for the
plaintiff; Mr. Worlledge and Mr. Ouch appeared for
the defendants.

This was an action in which the plaintiff sought to
recover damages for injuries 'sustained by his vessel in
consequence of the negligence of the servants of the de!
fendants while in command of the Ilighland(r; The
deendants paid 25/. into court, and the question at issue
between the parties was whether the plaintiff was en-
tit'ed to recover, from the defendants certain payment,
amounting to 251. in all, male by his captain on the
(vasion of the oellision. The principal payments vas
16!. 13s. ad. for boatinen employed in rescuing the wreck,
the other sums being for notarial charges, agency, corn-
mission, postage, and telegraphic messages. On the
part of the defendants, the first of these items was dip.
puted on the ground that it was excessive, and that the
remuneration to the boatmen, as salvors, ought to have
been niade in 'accordance with the ordinary wages
usually earned by such.
At the.. close of the case Chief Justice Jervis said
that, in his opinion, the plaintiff could not recover any
portion of the disputed items, except the charge fur the
boatmen, and the extent to which the • defendants were
liable for that was a matter for the jury to decide. They
must, however, reflect that the interests of the socit ty in'
a great maritime country like England required that at
alt times along its. coasts there should be a body of men
of skill and daring ready on occasions of emergency to
veidure their lives and property in attempts to convey
a,sistance to vessels in distress, and that their remune-
ration should not be regulated by the apparent value of
the vessel. This state of things could not be attained
without awarding to salvors in the case of valuable ships
such liberal salvage as would, when taken with other
less valuable cases, in the whole compensate them for
their general detioti to such perilous eat: rprises. By
the-se means a sufficient stimulus to exertion would be
kept alive. Now, the captain had actually paid the sun►
now sought to be recovered.. and tie only question was
whether the amount was, under all the circumstances,
excessive.

The jury at once returned a verdict for th 3 plaintiff
for 171. 133. 6d.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.— GLOCESTER, Anna 1.
(Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.)
Mary Anne Rosser, a respectably-dressed and rather
elderly woman, was charged with bigamy, in marrying
one James Underwood, her former husband being then
alive.
.
Partridge appeared for the .piosecution ; Mr.
Skinner defended the prisoner.
It appeared that the prisoner was married 24. years
ado t' her first husband, by whom she had 8 children
He had, however, deserted her, leaving his house in
company with the servant girl, with whom it was stated
• he was now living at Sydenham. He had snffere I three
months' imprisonment fer his_ desertion of his wife ; and
as soon as he heard of her second marriage, he wrote a
letter to the prisOner, in which he claimed " hie g00d,,"
adding, 'that she was "now in his power."
Mr. Skinner haVingaddi'es'sed the jury for the prisoner,
she was found guilty, but
,with a recommendation to
mercy, on the ground of her husband's treatment of ,her.
Mr. BarOn Bramwell, in passing sentence, said this
Was a most disgraceful-case—not on the part of the eri-
sneer so much as on the part of the husband. His lord-
ship wished there was some law that. would reach him,
and if he could be tarred and feathered and paraded
thfough Ledbury (where the wife resided), or if his future
He could be made in any way uncomfortable to him, it
would Serve hini right. 'lf he had put the law in ino-
tioe he Would 'have to pay for, it, as the costs of the pro-
secUtiou would not be aliewed. The prisoner, however,
had broken the law, and must have some punishment.
His lordship then sentenced her to four daye' imprison
went.
As the sentence dates from the first day of the assizes,
the effect of the sentence was that the prisoner was at
once discharged, and left the court with her second hus-
band:who had been in court'during the trial.
Robert Thomas Palin, 22, shoemaker, was charged
with hu-glarieusly breaking and entering the dwelling•
houe of Jane Shepherd, and stealing therein one coat,
two Wai-tcoate, and other articles,' at Thornbury, on the
night of the 18th of August, 1555. .
Mr. Skinner appeared for the prosecution ; the priso-
ner was undefended. • •
It appeared that, on the day before the burglary, the
prisiiner was seen by the proseentrix Thornbury: In
five days after he was found at Croydon disposing of one
of the waistcoats which had been stolen, and was taken
into custody."
The jury forind hiM
It was then stated that the prisoner was a ticket-of-
leave man, who hail,been transported for 10 years,
.but
discharged for good conduct. He had recently been
tried at. Maidstone for murder, hut acqntted. -
•Mr Baron. Bramwell sentenced him to bre transported
fur life. •
