Thomas Ullock; a Purser in' the Navy, was iiied
for the m,rder of Joanna, his wife, by shooting her,
t parish of Alvergtokein on_kbe,fliihat

The deceased was shot .in bed with her husband,
and he immediately alarmed, hersiSter and a servant,
who slept in • _next room. A • report had gone
abr.vid that, from the sit uation'i o tvhich-the,body -was'
found, the deceased could nut, have shot: herself ;
but this was confradiated by a. surgeon who ex- •
amined the wound, which was before the ear.—
There were 'no suspicious " circumstances adduced.:
again-4 the prisoner, nor did it appear that he had'
had any words with the deceased. •'-The 'Judge did
not suffer the case to go to the Jury, an the pri-
soner was honourably acquitted.
Pannei and-John Eyre were convicted of
buriV6rhand received sentence of-death.- -

A ludicrous cause for an assault was' tried at'
Northampton Af,izes on Wedne4day, in which t,be
Jury gave a terdiit of 2501. against Dr. Bailey,
venerable Clergyman, for an assault. It a'ppears
that there is a pond in the ,village where 'die Doctor
'lives, in which the poor Women were in the habit
of washing their clothes ;—the Re;v. Diiine chose
also to wash his horses in the si.,ie Water ; this the
women resisted; and with -In';.l:s, blushes, tkc. beat
the horses and the Dolor,, himself, which so ex-
asperated him, that he in return struck' one of
the asailants, (a women pregnant at the time), tor
which the attion w-.,s brought. The'Doctor; com-
promised,for striting another,woman,'by paying 3 01.
into Court.
