ASSIZE IN TELLIGENCE.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—LEICESTSR, Juzr 31.
JERVIS V. DEWES.
(Before Mr. Justice VAUGHAN and a full Special Jury.)
This was an action brought for the recovery of compens't
tion in damages for injuries sustained by reason of certain
misrepresentations made by the defendant to the plaintiff.
The plaintiff and the defendants are attorneys ; the form,_
residing at Hinchley, in this county, and the latter at Ashby
de-la- Zouch. In 1829, Mr. Jervis being desirous of obtaining
, the assistance of a partner, and haiing been applied to by at
person of the name of Snelson, he was prevailed upon-to en into negotiations with that individual, with a view to his being
admitted into partnership with Mr. Jervis, and on an applica:
tion being made to Mr. Dewes for character, in whose employ
Snelson had for some time been, he received in reply a lettOr!
speaking of Snelson in the highest terms, the only exception.
to the general tenor of the note being that he, Snelson, nr.7,1
rather extravagant in dress, a fault which most young roc
were prone to. Subsequently, Snelson was admitted into
partnership with Mr. Jervis, and in the course of a very fc
years contrived to injure and rob him to a very serious'extent;
and it appearing to Mr. Jervis, from many suspicious circunl:
stances connected with Snelson's introduction to his, Jervis''
office, that Dewes must have been aware of his previous habli7
and bad character, the present action was instituted for an
recovery of d tmages for the injuries sustained.
The plaintiff was nonsuited.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—ExaTER, JULY 31. _ •
All the avenues to the Court were crowded at an 'cal:Lye blr
with persons anxious to obtain a sight, if not a hearing of the
trial of Henry John Honey, for the murder of his wife. Tile
interior of the Court was filled with respectably individuals,
great portion of whom were females.
His Lordship took his seat soon after nine, when the prisoaFf
was brought up and placed at the bar. He in a firm and de"
liberate tone pleaded Not Guilty.
cal
led
several tiowE conducted the case for the prosecution, and caild
several witnesses who deposed to the facts, which have alrcaw„
appeared at length in our columns.
The prisoner put in a written defence, which contained de"
clarations of the affection which he felt for his wife.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE summed up in a most impressive at!'
dress, which took him thirty-five minutes in delivering. The Jury found a verdict of Manslaughter, on which there
was a slight hissing in the Court.

The Learned Judge then sentenced him to transportatiooo
for life, hoping his sentence would be a warning to all persor'
given to drunkenness.

- Prisoner sunk back in his chair as soon as the verdict vini
delivered, and after uttering a few words as if in
prayer, bow"
his head on his hands, and appeared absorbed in
overwhelming
grief.
