ar.tchttro-orptutsie intent to kill old murder

Mr. Pickering brit fly sfa'ed the leading facts of the case.
Thei prosecutor,wa,..3 farmer, r.tsiding, at a village called
Ur initial, xi fear. miles from Orillington, in the Eat ]tiding.
TIM pr:smer warslr's brother, aril up to May, 1'455, had
resi,i,d at a farrit about a mile from
J iiitiall. The case against !rim was that in April, 13156,
he 1),(1 put some pritsaic acid int, > bottle of sherry, and
soot it:by I aiLvay to CriG for his Irother to take. For-
tunji,tely, however, his suspicions wOrear ,n,,ed, and in con-
sequ encebf the peculiar swell of the liquid when poured
'Outiinto a tumbler, hemerely tasted a little, and then spat
it °IA. -It would-be asked--what motive could the prisoner
hav'e to attempt such a crime as the one charged against
hini? Thomas Bell, the prosecutor, was in possession of
sonde landed property under his father's will ; he was mar
ried, and if he died without issue that property would go
to the prisoner for -his life. -

The -jury returned with a verdict of Guilty, recom-
mending the prisoner to mercy.
The learned judge sentenced the prisoner to be trans
ported for the term of hie n‘tural life.
HOME CIRCITIT.—KINGSTON, MARCIi 20.

gr. Justice,Or aiswell did not get through the criminal
business at Lewes until Thursday afternoo,, and at the
conclusion of the assizes the young woman Eleanor Jane
Fla7ipur, who was convicted of rilebinr74P.resi, Lady
T313C1 ed, was brought up for judgment and salt enced to 15
mo 'ths' hard labour. The commission for the county of
Sur ey was opened on Thursday in this town by Mr. Baron
Cha noll, and to-day business was proceeded with in both
mitts, Mr. Justice Cresswell presiding on the Civil Side
andlMr. Baron Channell in the Crown Court.

Tore are 22 prs.ners for trim, and there ere two charges
of Murder and several other serious cases to bo disposed of.
On the Civil Side 49 causes are entered, 15 of which are to
be tried by special jurieP. This is a much smaller number
than usual at those assizes, which is probably owing to a
grelt many attotnryt being engaged in connexion with the
general election, and having consequently not entered their
carnies for trial. .

Tie special jurors, it appears, are only summoned to ap-
pear on Wednesday.next, but the nature of the business
appears to be such that it is dolibtful whether there will be
sufd,cient common jury cases to occupy the Court until that
day and their attendance has therefore been required ou
Tu day instead of Wednesday. Those gentlemen who do
not :receive such notice will probably, notwithstanding,
feel tit their duty to attend on the earlier day, as their pre-
gentle might materially expedite the business of the assizes.
