MONMOUTH ASsIZES.

George L 909, a young man of dishing appearance,
whe wore a fashionable black coat and velvet collar, a bla, k
silk waistcoat with a turnover velvet collar, and a black
velvet stock round his neck, was charged with rob ,ing
John Newman of a check on the Abergavenny Bank, some
silver, and a knife.

John Newman, and old man, dressed i❑ a long brown
co.,t, with pearl buttons, and a red figured bostler's wai-t-
-coat, said—l am a farmer. I was at the Cow public-
house, at Abergavenny, on the 22d of October, with my
wife and a servant named Edwards On thit day I hat
received a check for 131. 4s. 6,L, drawn on the old bank
at Abergavenny. When I had got about three-quarters
of a mile from Abergavenny, my wife went a late before
me to shut a gate, my servant Iseing a little behind. Three
men then rushed up to me, and, coming behind me, one
of them put his hands over my eyes face, and threw
me down. They searched ail my pockets, and turned
out my trousers pocket, and cut it off. They took away
the check for 131. 4. 6,1., six or seven shillings in silver,
and my knife. The men then left me. I was neither
sober nor the other way. I can't say I was exactly sober.
The whole matter did not last five minutes. I got up
and saw the three men going away on the road towards
Abergavenny. I told my wife, and she pursued them.
William Edwards, the servant of the prosecutor, said

I was with him and my mistress at the Cow public-house,
at Ahergavenny. The prisoner was in a corner of the
public-house smoking. I went on the road following my
master and mistress, and met three men, of whom the
prisoner was one. I followed the three men till they
jumped over a gato covered with thorns. I there lost
sight of them. lam quite sure that the prisoner is one
of the three men. I was quite sober. I then went fur
the constable.

The prisoner, in his defence, said he was innocent, and
had been in prison 23 weeks on u false charge. Verdict—
Not guilty.

TIIE MURDER AT NORTHAMPTON.--
The proceedings on the inquest touching the death of William
Marriot, who was brutally stabbed by a soldier belonging to the
18th regiment, on Saturday se'nnight, at Northampton, were re.
sumed yesterday. A number of witnesses were examined, but
much of their evidence was so conflicting as to the identity of
the soldier who gave the fatal stab, that it was thought proper
to again adjourn the inquest fora week, to obtainfresh evidence.

CORONERS INQUEST.-SUPPOSED CASE
OF CHULERA.—On Monday last an inquest was held on the
body of a woman named Sanderland. wife of an Irish school-
master, residing in George street, Grosvenor square. She was
in the ninth month of her pregnancy, but was declared by some
medical gentlemen to have died of cholera. Some interest was
excited in the neighbourhood on the occasion, in consequence of
which an inquest was held, when the Jury returned a verdict of
" Died by the visitation of God."

The new novel about to appear from the pen
of the popular author of " The Ayrshire Legatees, and " An-
nals of the Parish," is to be called, we are informed, " Stanley
Buxton." The subject of this tale is said to consist of the nar-
ratives of two Scotchmen who had been schoolfellows, and who
relate to each other in after-life the means by which they
respectively advanced their fortunes in the world. This is a
happy scheme for a writer so peculiarly gifted with the power
of giving an air of perfect verisimilitude to his fictions.
The equinoxal gales have bee❑ boisterous for
some days past, with frosty nights, and a low temperature by
day. Vegetation has thus received a gentle check, but the
weather has not been so severe as materially to interrupt agri-
cultural labour, and the sowing of grain still goes on under very
favourable circumstances.—Caledonian Mercury.

CORPORATION TOLLS.—Among the signs
of the times may be mentioned a strong and growing spirit of
resistance to the payment of dues, exacted by virtue of char-
tered or prescriptive right in corporate towns, and for which
no equivalent is rendered in return. At Stamford the right of
the corporation to demand toll on cattle brought to the markets
and fairs held there, was called in question, and became re.
cently the subject of an action, in which the corporation es.
tablished the right, but the verdict they gained was a mere
empty triumph, for the farmers and dealers instantly resolved
on moving the business to Market Deeping, and were so suc-
cessful in their project, that the Corporation have found them.
selves under the necessity of declaring the tolls to be suspended.
At Northampton a similar crusade against tolls has been en.
tered upon, and which has been joined by men of all parties,
and bids fair, unless the Corporation yield their claims, to do
very serious injury tc the trade of the town. The first meeting
was held at Kingsthorpe, a village distant about a mile from
Northampton, yesterday se'nnight, and was so decidedly success.
ful, that a very general resolution was entered into for holding
Use next fair at the same place.
