AYLESiIUttY, JAN. 6.-(PROM A CORRESPOtlbtfit,)
Epiphany SesSibissfor this county commenced on Tuesday
lest; betbre Sir thorets _Albs* Bert:' Chairman, and a full
laelitili tit Magistfatet ; and continued fot three dart. As soon
Grand 'Jury, tne appeal of the Greet Western Company
P., the pariSh of 13iirrtham was ailed ON and oettipied the
had tuntitided his charge tti the
Whole of the day. In consequence of the great amatint in-
Volved, and the importance of the parties concerned, this ap-
peal etibialteited great ipteof importance
Sfilettnt By*atles watsisas specially re-
by the parish .ernham, and led by Mr.
Wells ; and Messes. Birth and Saunders, the leading counsel
at the sessions; were retained fbr the Great Western Company.
Sergeant Byles stated that the groidid Of apPeal moo that the
property of the Company was assessed at too high s sum.
They were assessed at 11000/. per mile, in a subsequent rate
they were assessed at 1,600 f,, and in a third at 1,7001. The
Leittned Sergeant quoted several cases to show that the Com-
pany were properly rated, and concluded an eloquent speech,
by stating that the profits of the Company were such as would
allow their line to be a'aessed at the rate of 2,000/. per mile.
Messrs. Birch and Saunders contended that the assessment
was too high. and no satisfactory reason had been given why
the rate had been raised from 1,000/1 to I,boo/. They should
propose that a reduction be Made for the payment of the income-
tax, the wear and tear of the hit, and a number of minor
charges, which would reduce the sum of 1,000/, to bOOl. After
the examination of several witnesses, the Counsel for the Great
Western enntpany) , withdrew the ease; and Sergeant Byles
*plied for Goats, which were granted. At these sessions it was
resolved, that it is etpedient that a new gaol should be built,
and the heeeOry steps Were ordered to Le taken on the sub-
feet, The estimated cost is 40,06 tit.
Tut CotiDEMNED POAlrillEß.—Respecting these
unhappy Melt, we hat'e' been ififefteed that On Friday last,
i 1 4
their MOWS, iteciimpaniett by tneir regal atteiser, proceeded
to knowstey Hall; to solicit that a recommendation to mercy
might be cent, on behalf of the culprits, to the secretary of
state-. dephtelluh just se.* the Earl of Derby, who de-
interfere. The female friends then Waited upon
Lady Stanley, who stated that she never interfered with her
lord s business. Lord Stanley was in the fields at the time,
and the deputation having waited until his return, his Lord-
ship declined th interfere. Ile said information had reached
hit% through Sir James Arehart!, of so many gamekeepers
having been murdered by poacheii that it was necessary an
example should be made. An application of a similar nature,
we are also informed, was made to Mr. Justice Wightman, on
Friday last. His reply was, that if they could show him any
grounds, ho would have no objection to recommend the cul-
prits to her Majesty's mercy, but as the case stood at present,
he saw no such grounds. We understand Ann M'Correick
still persists in asserting her innocence of the crime of which
she has been convicted, and that her health is in so precarious
a state, that she i;s4 not likely, even if reprieved, long to sur-
vive.—_Liverps* 4Vercury. .
