ASSIZE INTELLICTENCE.
NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York. March 18.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFIL)
Thomas Kay and William Green, who had been
severally convicted of receiving stolen goods, were
this morning placed at the bar for sentence.
His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said—lt is
against such persons as you that the statute against re-
ceivers was principally directed. You, living in the
purlieus of London, were associated with a band of
desperate characters at Leeds, whom you encouraged
to break into and rob the warehouses at that place,
by receiving and disposing of the stolen property in
London. I feel it my duty to pass the utmost sen-
tence of the law, which is that you be transported for
fourteen years.
Thomas Smarwaite, a respectable looking man
about 55 years of age, who bad been for upwards,of
thirty years clerk to the trustees of the Scar-
borough Savings Bank, pleaded guilty to an indict-
ment charging him with having embezzled various
sums of money, the property of the trustees of the
Savings Bank.
His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said that he
(the prisoner) having been for nearly thirty years
entrusted to protect the property of the public, had
for upwards of a quarter of a century carried on a
system of deliberate swindling. Several persons had
given him a good character, which he (the Learned
Judge) regretted, as it showed how totally valueless
testimony as to character became, for if ever there
was a case in which a good eharacter had been unde-
served, it was the present. Considering the prisoner's
age and infirmities, the sentence was that he be im-
prisoned in York Castle for two years.

OXFORD CIRCUIT, Stafford, March 18.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.)
Joseph Blakeman, Edward Finney, Peter Bailey,
J. Cooper, and eleven others, surrendered, pursuant
to their recognisances, to take their trial for a riot
and assault committed at the late Protectionist meet-
ing in this town.
Mr. G. Greaves, Q C,, av' Mr. B. Kettle, ap-
peared for the prosecution. Mr. Sergeant Allen ap-
peared for Cooper, who is a respectable tailor and
draper in this town. Mr. Meteyard appeared for
seven others ; and Mr. Huddleaton and Mr. Garth for
some more of the defendants.
On their surrendering, an application was made by
their counsel that their recognizances should be en.
larged to the next assizes, on the ground that the ex-
citement connected with the meeting, out of which the
charge arose, was so great that it would not be pos-
sible to get an impartial trial at the present assizes,
and, therefore, the trial ought to be postponed till the
excitement should have subsided. The counsel for
the prosecution did not resist the application, and the
recognizances of the defendants were accordingly en-
larged. By this arrangement the defendants were
saved the expense to which they would have been put
if they had pleaded and traversed.

MIDLAND cinCUlT—Nottingham, March 18.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord CAMPBELL.)
Jahn Saworne, a person of some, but imperfect,
education, aged 53, was at the sitting of the Court this
morning arraigned and put upon his trial, charged with
the wilful murder, at Sutton-in-Ashfield, on the 19th
of April in last year, of Elizabeth Bailey.
Mr. Denison appeared as counsel for the crown.
Mr. Mellor defended the accused.
The prisoner was tried at the last summer assizes
for this county after the death, upon a charge of
having used an instrument upon the deceased,
Elizabeth Bailey, with intent to procure miscarriage.
Mr. W. 11. Adams then defended him. The dying
declaration of the unfortunate sufferer was not then
in proof. There were several counts in the indict-
ment on that orzAsion, averring the use of an instru-
ment. The prisoner was acquitted. The Learned
Judge, Mr. Baron Parke, ordered him to be detained
until, these assizes to answer a charge of murder. The
indictment now charged the prisoner with the
wilful murder of Elizabeth Bailey, and comprised
counts fur using an instrument, and others for manual
operation only.
Mr. 111z.t.LoR, for the prisoner, pleaded autrefois
acquit.
Lord CAMPBELL requested the attendance of Mr.
Baron Parke, who, with him, sat to hear the
arguments of the Learned Counsel for the prisoner
and the Crown.

Thereupon it was ordered that all the counts
averring the use of an instrument should be struck
out of the indictment. This was done, and the trial
proceeded upon the other counts only.
The jury retired at about five o'clock, and after
three hours of deliberation, returned with a verdict
of guilty of wilful murder, with a recommendation
to mercy.
His LORDSHIP proceeded to"pass the awful sentence
of death. The prisoner had been convicted, after a
long and painful trial, by an intelligent jury, of the
crime of wilful murder; and he (his Lordship) en-
tirely agreed in that :verdict, the evidence in his
mind clearly bringing home to the prisoner the charge
contained in the indictment. He much feared that
such practices had by the prisoner been long carried
on. At last justice had overtaken him. The woman
had died. Ile would take eare that the recommend-
ation of the jury should be forwarded to the proper
ofmcntaince, ,wwas hi
a which
crimein the
of
quarter, with what effect, he could not say. The
prisoner had long carried on, he feared, this frightful
pra
eyesnlo sot of
awful
magnitude, the law, of God
andsn d
his Lordship had only now to pass the solemn sen-
tence cf death in the usual form.
