although our pressure is perhaps the greatest in the kingdom, being
upwards of 450 feet, not the slightest effect could be discovered on

" Gentlemen,—Without reference to the variety of useful an cl or-
namental purposes to which gotta percha is adapted, I consider it hi
a sanitary point of view to be a most fortunate and important dis-
covery. I have already (from a sole regard to the public benefit)
certified my decided approval of it for the under soles of shoes, and I
have only to add that I find it equally well applied to walking or dress
shoes and boots by your agents- AS the supply of pure water is so es-
sential to health, and leaden pipes and cisterns are so objectionable,
I cannot too highly recommend the gotta percha for tubing and
lining.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Ywk, .July 1.5.
(Before Mr. Justice CRESSIVELL.)
Augustus Holman and Josoplz Holman were indicted
for having, on the 23d May last, at Leeds, forged and
uttered the acceptance of Miller, Mackay, and Co.,
of a bill of exchange for 4181. 16s. 6d. ; also for
having, on the 3i of May, forged and uttered the
acceptance of Roger Best and Co. for 3901.; and also
for having forged and uttered the acceptance of Mil-
ler, Mackay, and Co., for 3701., with intent to defraud
Messrs. Beckett and Co.

Mr. Overend and Mr. Hardy were for the prosecu-
tion ; Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Hall were for
the prisoners.
Augustus Holman was the father of Joseph Hol-
man. He pleaded guilty to the three charges ; and
in consideration of the youth of the other prisoner,
and the fact that he was employed as his father's
clerk, no evidence was offered by the prosecution
against him. Witnesses were called, who spoke to
the good character of the older prisoner up to these
transactions ; but it transpired that his total defalca-
tions will amount to nearly 4,0001. The younger
prisoner was at once liberated from custody. _

...; William Milner Hewitt, Benjamin Haste, and Tho-
mas Atkinson, were indicted for a violent and felonious
assault on John Harrop, in the streets of Leeds, and
for stealing from his person a silver watch, a shilling,
and some other articles.

Mr. Overend and Mr. Middleton were for the pro-
secution ; the prisoners were undefended.
It appeared that the prosecutor had been at the
house of a friend in Leeds on the night of the Ist of
July, and that soon after twelve o'clock he, accompa-
nied by his wife and another woman, were going on
their way to Holbeck over Leeds-bridge. They were
accosted by the prisoner Hewitt, and, he, having at-
tempted some rudeness to the women, a scuffle took
place between him and the prosecutor. On a signal
being given, three other men rushed up. llarrop ran
to some distance, and was pursued and knocked down,
and while he was lying in the road his watch•guard
was broken from his neck, his watch was taken, and
his pockets were rifled. Two men who were in the
streets witnessed the violence of the prisoners, and
aided in the pursuit. It was also proved by the police
that the three prisoners hed been seen together in
Kirkgate on the night in question.
The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence; the
jury returned a verdict of Guilty against each of the
prisoner:, and the Court sentenced them severally to
be transported for ten years.

CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.)
_ _

There were six causes entered for trial, of which

three were for special juries. The first was an action
of ejectment, in which the defendant did not appear to
confess lease, entry, and outset, and the plaintiff was
therefore nonsuited, and, as a consequence of the
nonsuit, obtained an order for delivery of possession
within a week. The second was an action for 491,

135., the price of some farming utensils sold by the
plaintiff to the defendant. The defence was that the
defendant bought the goods of a third party, and paid
him for them. That party was called, and swore that he
bought the goods at an auction of the plaintiff's goods
for himself, and then sold them to the defendant, and
was paid by him for them; but the jury did not ba-
lieve this tale, and found a verdict for the plaintiff,
the Judge expressing his approbation of the view taken
by them of the credit due to the witness.

DOE DEM. WEAVING AND PINNOCE, GATHAILD, AND
THIRTY OTHERS--THE CHARTIST LAND SCHEME.

Mr. Keating, Q.C., and Mr. Pigott, were counsel
for the plaintiff, and Mr. Gray for the defendants.
This was an action of ejectment to recover posses-
sion of the land held by the Chartists allottees at
Minster Lovel, in this county.
Mr. Keating, in stating the plaintiff's case, said
they were the devisees in trust of Mr. John Walker,
a farmer, at Minster Lovel, in this county, who died
in 1842, bequeathing his real property, which in-
cluded the land in question, to them as trustees for
the purposes of his will ; and the defendants were
members of the National Land Chartist Association,
or some such association, which Mr. Feargus
O'Connor started some time ago, and who, as mem-
bers of that association, became the fortunate allot-

tees of portions of the property in question. Mr.
Feargus O'Connor, in fact, never had the legal estate
in his hand. He did not know whether they
claimed under Mr. O'Connor. lie understood that
they disclaimed all connexion with him, and said
the land was their own ; but, in fact, they had no
title. He would prove the seisin and title of
the lessors of .the plaintiffs, and until he heard
what title the defendants claimed, it was unnecessary
for him to go further. Great numbers of the allot-
tees had already very wisely given up possession, and
it was only against those who refused to do so that
the ejectment was brought.
Mr. James. Long, an auctioneer, proved that the
late Mr. Walker was the owner of the land on which
the defendants' allotments were. In cross-exatnina-

tion, he said there were as many as 80 houses built
on the property, and that Mr. O'Connor paid for the
erection of them. He had been present at the sale of
the land by auction, when it was knocked down to
Mr. O'Connor.

F. C. Haynes produced, from the Archdeacon's
register, the will of the late Mr. Walker. Its execu-
tion was proved by another witness.
Mr. James Leek, of Witney, having been called for
the plaintiffs, in cross-examination stated he spoke to
Mr. Weaving in October last respecting those allot-
ments, and that Mr. Weaving said that all the inte-
rest due to him and his co-trustee had been paid to
them, and that this ejectment was not brought by his
wish or desire, but of Mr. O'Connor.
The plaintiffs' case having been formally proved,
Mr. GRAY declined to address the jury, and there
was a verdict for the plaintiffs.
An application was then made for immediate pos-
session.

Mr. G-RAY objected that it was clear all the interest
money had been paid up, and that the plaintiffs had
brought only a very small part of their case before the
Court.

His LORDSHIP said he would not interfere

WESTERN CI ItCl7lT.—Winchester, July 16.

CROWN COURT.—(Befure RUSSELL CiURNEY,

Q C.
Sophia Wheeler Winter was placed at the bar,
charged with having feloniously intermarried with
Alfred Dodswell, her former husband William Winter
being alive.
Mr. Sewell conducted the prosecution, Mr. C.
Saunders defended the prisoner.
It appeared by the evidence that the prisoner, who
is a pretty, interesting-looking, young woman, was
married in 1837 to William Winter, a respectable
tradesman at Portsea. She at that time was very
young. She lived very happily with her husband for
some years, and had several children by him ; but he
received an appointment which took him abroad.
There he remained for some years, when she became
acquainted with Alfred Dodswell, the son of a lieu-
tenaut in the navy, residing at Portsmouth. He be-
came much attached to her, and eventually persuaded
her to marry him, telling her that the first marriage
was not a legal one, as she was a minor when it was
contracted, and under that idea she consented to
marry him. This was in 1848. They lived to-
gether up to May last, when William Winter, her
first husband, returned. The poor girl was then
made to understand that her first marriage was a
perfectly legal one, on which she refused to live
any longer with Dodswell, but returned to her first
husband, upon which Dodswell instituted the present
prosecution. These facts were elicited from him by
the Counsel for the defence, who, in his address to
the jury, commented most strongly on his conduct,
and contended that the prosecution ought never to
have been instituted, but that the poor girl was the
victim of the prosecutor throughout ; it was clear she
had no felonious intent whatever in marrying the
second husband, but had done so under the idea that
the first marriage was illegal.
The Learned JUDGE said every one who had heard
the case must regret that the prosecution had ever
been instituted; however, as it was before the Court
and jury, they must deal with it according to law,
and it was his duty to tell them that, in his opinion,
the legaLoffence of bigamy had been made out.
The jury, however, were not inclined to adopt his
Lordship's view of the case, and acted on the prin-
ciple of doing substantial justice between the parties,
by Acquitting the prisoner.
The Learned JUDGE refused to allow the expenses
of the prosecution.
The prisoner throughout the whole trial was dread-
fully affected, and excited the greatest interest in a
crowded court.
