ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—CAMBRIDGE, March 21.
CROWN COURT.
(Before the Lord Chief Baron.)
Henry Ward, engine driver, was charged with feloniously
killing Charles Titchmarsh at Little Wilbraham, on the 9th
of October.

Mr. Couch and Mr. Douglas Brown conducted the pro-
secution; Mr. Power, Q.C., and Mr. Metcalfe defended the
prisoner.

This prosecution was the result of a collision which hap-
pened on the ntght of the 9th of October last at the Six-
mileßottom station of the Cambridge and Newmarket Rail-
way, and which caused the death of Charles Titehmash, a
guard then in the service of the company. From the
evidence adduced on the part of the prosecution, which
occupied a considerable time, it appeared that an extra
train, consisting of 21 empty horse-boxes, left Newmarket
at 10.50 p.m. on that night. This Win was 170 yards
long, and on arriving at Six-mile Bottom it is neces-
sary to telegraph to Cambridge before the train is
allowed to proceed, the line from Newmarket to Six-mile
Bottom being a double, and from there to Cambridge a
single line. In consequence of no answer being received
from Canilnidge, this train stopped 18 minutes at the sta-
tion, and was there run into by the train of which the pri-
soner was the driver. The deceased and another man in
the employment of the company were in the break at the
end of the horse-box train, where, according to the evidence
of the station-master at Six-mile Bottom, they had no busi-
ness to be. It appeared also that on this day, which was
described by one of the witnesses for the prosecution as one
of the "busiest in the year," being the first Newmarket
October Meeting, the signalman of the company at that
station thought fit to absent himself, and another man, who
only occasionally attended to the signals, was put to.do his
duty. It was not clearly made out on the part of the pro-
secution that the auxiliary signal at Six-mile Bottom
showed the proper light; and it also appeared that the pri-
soner stuck to his engine, blew his whistle, and reversed
the break as soon as ho saw by the tail light to the horse-
box train that there was something in the way.
At the close of the case for the prosecution,
The Lord Chief Baron observed that it appeared the
least culpable of all the persons concerned in the transac-
tion had been indicted ; that it was in evidence that the un-
fortunate deceased ought not to have been in the break, and
that with so long a train stopping at the station, and stop-
ping there beyond the ordinary time, and being an extra
train, nut down in the bills, it might have been expected
that some one should have been sent towards Newmarket
to give notice to the train of which the prisoner was driver;
and that the prisoner on the evidence for the prosecution
appeared on every occasion to have done his duty.
the jury, without calling on Mr. Power, returned a ver-
dict of not guilty.

OXFORD CIRCUIT—SHICEVSBURY March 21.
CRIMINAL COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Crompton.) •
Joseph Wright, 42, farmer, was charged with the Mir...
slaughter of Thomas Furber, on the 26th of July, 1858, at
Whitchurch.

Mr. Corbett appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. W. J.
Neale defended the prisoner.
Mr. Corbett stated that, in his opinion, there was no
evidence against the prisoner, and therefore, with his lord-
ship's sanction, he would take a verdict of " not guilty,"
both on the indictment and on the coroner's inquisition.
Mr. Justice Crompton said his opinion was that there
was not a tittle of evidence against the prisoner. All that
was said in the depositions was, that somebody had heard
somebody say something against the prisoner. It was a
matter of regret that the prisoner had been committed by
the coroner, which had rendered it necessary, at consider-
able expense, to make an application to one of the judges of
the Court of Queen's Bench to admit the prisoner to bail.
His lordship then directed the jury to acquit the prisoner,
which they did accordingly.
Mr. Corbett said he was informed by the prisoner's coun-
sel (Mr. Neale) that the prisoner hail volunteered to give
the mother of the decoa.sed man £lO as a token of his syni-
path), for her loss. _

Mi. Justice Crompton said he was not in a position to
form any opinion as to whether or not the prisoner had
caused the death of the deceased; but, if he had done so,
either by accident or passion, ho was glad to find that he
took this means of showing his regret for what had oc-
curred.

Michael Johnson, 55, linman, was charged with stealing
a donkey, the property of Samuel Merrick, at Middleton,
on the 20th December, 1858.
Mr. Benson appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner
was undefended by counsel.
There were two charges against the prisoner for stealing
donkeys, but in the first case there was a defect in the CTi-
deuce as to the proof of identity, and the prisoner was
acquitted. He was then tried upon a second charge, and it
appeared that on the 19th December last the prosecutor,
who was a blacksmith at Middleton, saw his donkey safe in
a field near the roadside, and missed it on the day following.
On the 22d December the prisoner was at Wolverhampton
with three donkeys, and sold one of them in the fair in that
town to a man named James Hodgkiss. On the sth Jan.
the prisoner was taken into custody, and the prosecutor
identified his ass in the possession of Hodgkiss, who now
swore he had purdhased it of the prisoner.
The prisoner made no defence, and
The jury found him guilty.
Mr. Justice Crompton said there was reason to believe
that the prisoner had stolen all three donkeys, and sentenced
him to eight months' imprisonment with hard labour.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT—DERBY, March 21.
CROWN COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Erle.)
Clara Knight, described:in the calendar as a needlowomar,
was placed at the bar charged with stabbing, cutting, an.,
wounding Elizabeth Cawood, with intent to kill and mur-
der her.
Mr. Jesse' conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Bell
watched the case for the prisoner.
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner and pro-
secutnx lodged in a disreputable house kept by one Emma
Bates. Bates's sister Eliza and the prisoner were together
walking in the streets on the night of the 26th of November,

some drink early in the night, and about 11 o'clock each
had two glasses of whisky and water. They returned to
Bates's between 12 and 1. Elizabeth Cawood was there
in bed. About two o'clock she was awakened by feeling a
' stab in the lower part of the face, which she found the pri-
soner inflicting with a common dinner knife, saying, as she
dealt it, "I'll give it you, you _.” Cawood screamed
loudly, and a Mr. Montague, who was in bed above,
ran downstairs, seized the prisoner, and took the knife
from her, not, however, before she had given the pro-
secutrix two other wounds, one upon her cheek, the
other on her breast. She contrived afterwards to recover
the knife, but it was again taken from her by Montague,
who threw it out of her reach. A police constable was
called in who found her highly excited, saying several times
" The knife, the knife, it has not done its work." At ono
time she rushed at the window and broke it. At another
she cried out, " What did she say it for F"
Mr. Bell addressed the jury for the prisoner, and, the
learned Judge having summed up, they returned a verdict
of guilty of unlawful wounding, which may subject the
prisoner to three years' imprisonment, with hard labour.
Sentence was deferred.
