WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Taunton, April 3.

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice ERLE.)
Francis Kirk was indicted for feloniously cutting
and wounding Luke Collins, at West Hatch, on the
20th of March.

Mr. Lopes was counsel for the prosecution.
It appeared by the evidence that the prisoner was a
'abonrer in the employ of the prosecutor. On the
20th of March the prosecutor met the prisoner in one
of his fields, carrying a winnowing machine. He
spoke to him, and asked him why he had not cleaned
out the barn, as be had told him. The prisoner re-
plied that he had commenced doing it, but French,
another labourer in the prosecutor's employ, had
called him away to do something else. The prose-
cutor answered, " that if he did not do what he told
him he had batter go home." The prisoner replied,
" D— your eyes !—you make nothing of telling a
person to go home." He then dropped the machine
he was carrying, and took a pick. Ho then said,
" I'll go home with you." He then made a blow at
the prosecutor's head with the pick, which struck him
on the arm. He then made a second blow at him,
which broke his arm ; a fourth blow struck him on
the head, cut it open, and felled him to the ground,
and rendered him senseless. When the prosecutor
came to himself he found the prisoner still striking
him, and swearing that he would kill him. The pro-
secutor managed to get up and run away. The
prisoner followed him and continued to strike him
with the pick ; but at last some men came to the pro-
secutor's assistance, and the prisoner was taken into
custody.

A Surgeon was called, who proved the extent of
the injuries which the prosecutor had received. His
life was endangered for some days. He appeared in
court with his head and arm bandaged up, and seemed
to be in a very weak state.

The prisoner was found Guilty.
Mr. Justice ERLF, in sentencing him, said that
many cases had been before him on this circuit, but
none had been marked by such malignant violence as
that exhibited by the prisoner in the present case. He
had not only struck the prosecutor with such violence
as to break his arm and cut open his head, but when
he was endeavouring to make his escape, he had fol-
lowed him and repeated his violence. He ordered
him to be transported for ten years.
John Lewis was indicted for cutting and wounding
George Tropnell, with intent to do him some grievous
bodily harm.
Mr. H. T. Cale was counsel for the prosecution ;
the prisoner was undefended.
It appeared by the evidence that the keepers of
Colonel Tynte, of Hoawell house, were out watching
on the night of the Ist of December last. At about
twelve o'clock at night they beard a gun fired in the
copse of Colonel Tynte, in which game was pre-
served ; they made towards the copse, when they ob-
served three men come out of it and go towards
another wood *here there were pheasants. The
keepers made towards the copse in two parties, when
they observed one of the men fire at a pheasant in a
tree, it being a fine moonlight night. They made
towards the poachers, when a scuffle ensued, and the
prisoner struck Tropnell, one of the keepers, several
times over the head with a large stick, drawing blood
from three wounds. He was, however, overpowered
and secured, with another of the poachers.
The prisoner was found Guilty of a common as-
sault. Sentence deferred, a true bill having been
found against him and the others for night poaching.
