ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN ClRCUlll—CarliAlc, Aug. 3.
JENNINGS AND OTHERS V. LYNN, CLERK.

Mr. Martin, Mr. James, and Mr. Uuthank appeared
for the plaintiffs; and Mr. Knowles and Mr. Mauisty for
the defendants.

The plsintitTs are the owners of lands in the parish of
Caldbeck, in this county, of which the defendant is the
rector. The plaintiffs contend that the parish has been
immemoriably divided into a great number of dis-
triats, fur each of which a money payment has
been rendered to the rector as a distinct mo.ius
in lieu of the tithes of corn, hay, potatoes, turnips, and
agistment. The defendant, on the contrary, contends
that the moduses only cover the tithes of corn and hay.
It appeared that the Tithe Commissioners proceeded to
commute the tithes of the parish. and made decisions in
favour of the rector in tour of the alleged districts.
Against two of these decisions actions were brought by
way of appeal by the landowners. In. one of these cases
the verdict was ultimately entered for them, in the
other for the rector. The present action was brought
by way of appeal against the third of those decisions.
The plaintiff.' case was proceeded with yesterday and
to-day, after which
Mr. KNOWLES opened the case for the defendant, and
was about to give his evidence, when a negotiation was
opened, which terminated in the withdrawal of.a juror,
the plaintiffs agreeing that the moduses should be taken
to opver the tithes of corn and hay only, and that the
defendant, as "rector, should henceforth be taken to be
entitled
_to the tithes of agistment, turnips and potatoes,
throughout the whole parish, except in the one district,
in which, as already mentioned, the landowners upon a
former occasion obtained a verdict in their favour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

HIGHWA.Y ROBBERY. —Batlio/ornery 111•Carthy, a tall
young man, apparently a sporting character, was brought
up in the custody of police-constable Whttcher, 50,
charged with violently assaulting a butcher, in Wells-
street, and stealing from his person. 141. in gold.
The officer stated that about a quarter-past ten on
Saturday. night he received information that a man had
been knocked down and robbed in Wells-street, near
Golden-lane. He went there and found the man lying
on the' groued insensible. On returning to consciousness
he was unable to identify or describe the perpetrators,
as he received the blow, which stunned him, trom some
person behind him. In consequence of a description of
two men he obtained from the party who gave him in-
formation of the robbery, be went in search of them, and
soon after saw prisoner, who answered the description of
one of the parties, come oat of a court near Golden-lane,
but on seeing him (officer) he ran away. The officer
pursued him for some distance, but was unable to over-
take him. On making inquiries he found out that he
had a mother living in the neighbourhood, and he
(officer) accordingly proceeded there about half an hour
after the occurrence of the robbery, where he found pri.
stoner in bed. Prisoner said he ran away because he be-
lieved the officer was impressed with an idea that he had
some illicit whiskey in his possession. He said he was
a potman at the Fountain, in Golden-lane, and previous
to that be had driven a mail-cart for eight years.
John Reeve, 24 A, said he had known prisoner for the
last six or seven years as an associate of thieves, and he
had been continually in custody for assaults and charges of
felony. Prisoner has a brother who is serving
nine months' imprisonment for a similar offence. There
was not a more notorious set of characters than those of

the prisoner and his family. His father and mother, as
well as all his brothers and sisters, have all been con-
victed felons—some have been transported and others
imprisoned for various terms.
Prisoner said the faults or failings of his family ought
not to fall upon him. It was no reason, because his
brother was a thief that he should be one also.

The of said he wished for a remand, as he ex-
pected he would be able to apprehend the other party.
The prosecutor was in court, bat wag suffering so
much from the treatment he had received, that it was

thought advisable to reserve his evidence for a future
examination, and the prisoner was accordingly remanded.

MARYLEBONE.

Yesterday Ralph Cousins, a furniture•dealer, i❑ Bar-
rett's-court, Wiginore-street, and Amelia Cousins, his
wife, were brought before the sitting magistrate, Mr.
Broughton, charged with the following rutli.nly outrage
on the police.
Mr. George Keene attended for the prisoners.
Bowers, 143 11, deposed that on the same morning, at
tat) o'clock, he heard loud screams of murder in the
court alluded to, and on hastening to the spat he saw the
male prisoner rush from his house with blood streaming
down his face. Witness asked him what was the matter,
when he (prisoner) gave him a tremendous blow on the
head and tried to effect his escape. In a struggle which
took place he threw witness down and nearly strangled
him by the force with which ho grasped his (witness's)
throat. The female prisoner then came out, and in a
fury seized witness by the hair of his head while he was
lying ou the ground, almost in a state of insensibility,
but he at length contrived to snring his rattle, and Ser-
geant Battersly and another officer came to his assis-
tance. The prisoners, who were both drunk, were then
conveyed to the station•house.
Evidence in corroboration of a portion of Bowers's
statement was given, and
Mr. BROUGHTON sent the man Cousins to the House
of Correction for a month; the woman was fined 405., or
three weeks' imprisonment.

DARING ROBBERY.—Thomas Taylor was placed at the
bar charged with having stolen a barometer, the pro-
perty of J. A. Murray, Esq., secretary to the Master of
the Rolls.

The prosecutor resides at 28, Porchester-terrace, Bays-
water.

The evidence went to show that on Saturday after-
noon last, prisoner, who had at the time an apron on,
came in at the garden gate, and was soon afterwards
seen to make his egress from the premises with a baro-
meter under his arm. It turned out that it had been
stolen from the hall, and on the prisoner being pursued
he put the article down into the road. He was then
laid hold of and conveyed to the station-house by police-
constable 235 D. The barometer was produced and
identified; and the prisoner, who said that distress
caused him to commit the robbery, was sent for trial.
SOUTH W ARK.
Yesterday William Brown, nicknamed" the doctor," and
James Nicholson, were brought before Mr. A'Beckett,
charged with assaulting and robbing John James of
50 sovereigns. ;

Mr. Wontner attended for Brown.
The complainant, whose head and/ace were frightfully
cut and bruised, stated that on Saturday night, about
nine o'clock, he went, accompanied by .a woinan that
lives with him, to Brown's house, No. 153, Blackfriars-
road. When be entered the house he had 50 sovereigns
loose in his pockets, and he remembered quarrelling
with Nicholson ; but being very tipsy at the time he
was unable to recollect all that passed. The next morn-
ing, however, when he awoke he found that the
fifty sovereigns were gone, besides finding that he was
badly wounded about the head and face, which were
plastered up ; but he could not say by whom either
the robbery was committed or the injuries inflicted upon
him.

Inspector Squires said that the complainant gave a
very different description of the affair at the station-
house to that which . he now gave before the magistrate,
and that he was convinced that he had been since tam-
pered with, and that the woman with whom he lived, al-
though she promised to be present in court, had absented
herself.

In reply to Mr. A'BECKETT, the complainant, who
evinced a strong disinclination to detail the particulars as
far as he recollected, said that he had known both the
prisoners for a considerable time. Had no recollection
of producing the 50 sovereigns, or exhibiting them in
Brown's house ; the sovereigns were given to him by
the woman with whom be lives eight or nine days
ago ; but he did not know how or whore she got them
from.
Inspector Squires stated, in reply to the magistrate,
that the complainant, when he made the charge at the
station-house, was covered with blood, and he stated
that Brown held him while Nicholson rubbed him of the
50 sovereigns; that a good deal of slang language used
by the swell mob passed between the parties at the sta-
tion-house. The inspector further said that information
had been received in town that a robbery of 2001. had
been effected at Chichester, and that Jones, the com-
plainant in this case, and the woman with whom he en..
habits, were suspected as the parties; ,that since the
prisoners had been taken into custody, Jones's lodgings
had been searched, and 34 sovereigns were found iu his
bed, besides upwards of 100 duplicates of property, con-
sisting of clothes and jewellery, suspected to be the pro-
duce of various robberies. A handbill was also found
there frOm Chichester, which tended to increase the sus-
picion that Jones had beenTecently in that town.
Mr. A'BEcKETT said he should discharge the pri.
soners, and h.; directed Jones t) be taken into custody
on suspicion of the alleged robbery at Chichester, and
that he should be placed in the infirmary of the prison,
in order to have the professional assistaoce of the sur-
geon for the serious injuries be had received on Satur-
day night.
In the course of the day Ann Jones. the woman with
whom he lives, was apprehended, and both the prisoners
were remanded until Thursday, when the evidence re-
specting the robbery at Chichester will be entered into.

[PRICE SD.

landlord and borrow 501 to play at skittles with, and
having fleeced him of that sum they all managed to get
clear off. One of them (Anderson) was, however taken
foto custody while engaged in the accomplishment of a
similar robbery, and was committed for trial on both
offences.. He was tried for oae at the June sessions at
the Old gaily, and pleaded " Guilty" to the other, and
was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment.
The sentence, considering that tht4 prisoner hal been
proved to have been concerned with his expert comps-
pious in many similar robberies, was considered very
slight and wholly inadequate to the offence. The pri •
saner himself, it was said, expected at least seven years'
transportation, and thinking that the Common Serjeant
meant years and not months, he exclaimed, What, 18
years .my Lord!" whe❑ sentence was passed. The pro-
secution,
however, had the effect of breaking up three or
four gangs of sharpers who were daily committing ex-
tensive robberies by skittle sharping.
The prisoner, who, by shaving his whiskers and a
great portion of the hair from his forehead and side
face, etf-cted a considerable difference in his appearance,
was identified by the prosecutor as having take❑ an
active part in the robbery; and Sergeant Goff having
produced an office copy signed by Mr. Clark, Clerk of
the Arraigns, of a certificate certifying that the prisoner
stood indicted with the others whose names are above
given for feloniously stealing 501, the moneys of the
prosecutor,
He was fully committed for trial.
THAMES.
_

Daniel White, an Irish labourer, a remarkably tall
and powerful man, was brought before Mr. Yardley,
charged with committing violent assaults on Mr. William
G. Mills, the landlord of 'the Three Tuns public-house,
iu Penny•fields Poplar, and on Edwin Bevis, a police-
constable, 243 li.
The case was one of a very aggravated description,
and both complainants appeared with marks of severe
injuries on their persons.
On Saturday night, about ten o'clock, the prisoner
went into the tap-room of the Three Tang and fastened
a quarrel on another man about -the settlement of some
wages, and struck him several times, and cut his face and
eyes in 11 dreadful manner. Mr.. Mills directly inter-
posed, and found the prisoner fighting with another man,
whom he threatened to serve as he had done the other.
Mr. Mills said he should not, and ordered him to leave
the house instantly; on which the prisoner, who is an
experienced fighting man, struck Mr. Mills on the face
with his clenched fists, and with tremendous violence,
cutting his lip open. Mr. Mills was knocked over one
of the tables, and nearly stunned, and while in this po-
sition, unable to defend himself, he was again struck a
severe blow on the side of the head. He retreated
into the passage, bleeding copiously from the
mouth and nose, and called for the police.
Bevis, a tall, muscular man, but no match
fur the prisoner, entered the house and endeavoured to
arrest him; but the prisoner struck him a tremendous
blow over the eye which sent him reeling backwards.
The policeman, as soon as he recovered himself, ad-
vanced towards the prisoner again, and received another
blow equally severe on the mouth, the effect of which
was to completely divide the upper lip, and to fell him
to the ground. Bevis, finding it was impossible to cap-
ture the prisoner by himself' called fur assistance, and
several other policemen rushed into the house and seiz.d
the ruffian, who made a furious attack upon them; but
a well-directed blow from the truncheon of one of them
on White's wrist disabled him, and he was secured.
In answer to questions by Mr. YARDLEY, Bevis said
Mr. Mills was covered with blood when he entered the
house, and that he appeared to have met with serious
injuries. The witness added that his lip had been sewn
up and covered with an adhesive plaster, and that his eye
was also cut. He was struck a third time while spring-
ing his rattle.

—Mr. YARDLEY said the prisoner was a very savage
fellow, and had committed very gross assaults. He
sentenced him to pay a fine of 31. or be imprisoned for
21 days for the assault on Mr. Mills; and to be im-
prisoned for 21 days, without the option of paying a fine
for assaulting Bevis in the execution of his duty.
Mr. Mills said he anticipated further violence from
the prisoner, who had threatened his life, and he hoped
the magistrate would bind him over to keep the peace.
Mr. YARDLEY—IIe will be in prison for six weeks.
If he threaten you when he comes out, I will grant you
a warrant.
