W ORSHIP- STREE T.

On Saturday, a respectanle looking man, named Thos.
Fuller, was brought before Mr. BROUGHTON upon the
following serious charge of wounding his lodgers, John
Langford and his wife.
The prosecutor, who was in a very weak s'ate, and with
three dreadful cuts on his head, was a shoemaker, and
resided with the prisoner, who was his landlord, in
Phillip•street, Kingsland-road. Witness, on Friday af-
ternoon, hearing the prisoner call his wife a w-, and
fearing he would ill use her, ran into the yard where the
prisoner was building au oven, and asked him what
he meant by it, when the prisoner, without making any
reply, threw away a trowel he had in his hand, and seiz-
ing hold of a h.:miner, inflicted a deep wound on his fore-
head. Witness's wife, who held a child in her arms,
ill-lied between them, when the prisoner struck her a
tremendous blow on the forehead, and in trying to save
the child, she received another on. the artn from the same
weapon. Witness then (Awed upoi. the prisoner aid re-
ceived five or six blows more, one of them on h.sforehead,
andanother on the back of his head. (Here both the prose-
cutor and his wife exhibited to tine Magistrate the wounds
they had received, the sight of which drew forth au ex-
clamation of " horrible" from every.person present.)

Three respectable witnes.4es corroborated the prosecu-
tor's statement. —The prisoner was committed to New-
gate fortrial.

SUMMER.ASSIZES.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT, APPLEBY, AUG. 10.
The Learned Judge arrived at this place this morning,
and opened the commission for the county of Westmore-
land. If the business of the assize be regarded as a cri-
terion, certainly the inhabitants of this county cannot be
accused of a very strong propensity to litigiousness or
crime. The calendar contained the name of one prisoner
only, and that together with a charge of misdemeanour
against another party, who was out up ,r. bail, constituted
the whole of the criminal business. There were but five
causes entered for trial, only two of which were defended.
Both these were issues directed to try a right of common,
awl possessed no general interest.

John Clark was convicted of feloniously breaking into
the warehouse of John Kidd, at Kendal, and stealing then e-
from a quint3y of currants. •
Mary Smallwood, a decent-looking woman, pleaded
Guilty to the mi,dem •anor of concealing the bit th of Ler
Illegitimate child. She was sentenced to one year's im-
prisonment.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.— IKuovicK, AUG. 10.
The Judges attended divine service this morning at 10
o'clock, and afterwards commenced the business of the
Ass;zes fur this county, which is comparatively very light.
On the Crown side acre are only SO prisoners for trial,
and, with the exception of one case of alleged murder, the
charges are of a very ordinary description. On the Civil
side 28 cases are entered ; there is not one special jury
case amongst tl em.

All the rases disposed of to-day were of the most com-
mon-place nature. The bill for murder was ignoral by
the Grand Jury.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.—MoNmounr, AuG. 10.
John Llewellin was charged on suvicion or breaking
open a chest and bureau of Mrs. Ann Arney, and felo-
niously stealing, taking, and carrying away 215/. in gold
and silver coin of this realm, and a silver watch, with gold

Richard Williams said—l am a miner, living at Tre-
maine, in the pariah of Crowan ; the deceased lived there
also. On Friday the 20th of July we went to Crowan
town together to Poole's public-house; This was about
half past five in the erening ; we went into an up.stair
room, in which there were many persons ; we asked for
a pint of beer; we drank five pints between us; I saw the
prisoners, who are miners in the same parish, come in;
they sat down at a table by our side; after we had fin'shed
our beer, Symons and I went down stairs into the kitchen.
The prisoners came down to us ; the prisoner Wil-
liams sat opposite Symons, about four feet off ; 1
had a conversation with Williams about a girl, dur
ing which Symons came and leaned between us to light
his pipe at the candle. He said, " Don't fall out about
the maidens, for they are plenty enough." Williams then
rose and caught Symons by the collar, and said, " You
have been putting upon me all this night." Symons had
had not used any offensive language before this. About this
time Mrs. Poole came in. Fall then took Williams by
