ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTH WALES CIRCUIT.—Brecon, March 25.
THE TRECASTLE MIIRDER.—At nine o'clock this
morning, Thomas Thomas was placed at the bar, charged
with the murder of David Lewis, a Cardiganshire butter
merchant, near Trecastle. The interest excited was
most intense, and from an early hour in the morning
the County-hall was surrounded by such crowds that
when Mr. Justice Cresswell arrived he was obliged per-
sonally to struggle to obtain admittance, and several
barristers were assisted through the windows.
The prosecution was conclueted by Mr. Chilton, Q.C.,
and Mr. V. Williams ; and the prisoner was defended
by Mr. Nicholl Carne.
The prisoner is a young man of cheerful appearance
and athletic make, and appeared quite easy and com-
posed throl4,hout the day, occasionally taking notes.
The following is an outline of the evidence adduced :
—The gatekeeper at Trecastle turnpike deposed to
being awoke, on the night of the 6th of December, by
the sobbing of a little boy, son of deceased, at the gate
with two carts, and gathered from him that he had
lost his father, and, not perfectly understanding
Welch, took him into the house until a waggon with
two men came up, who proceeded about a quarter of
a mile further, when they found the body of the deceased
lying by the side of the road. They detached a horse
from the train, and galloped back to Trecastle to give
the alarm. It was proved by a surgeon that death had
been produced by a pistol bullet, which had entered just
behind the left ear, passing through the brain, and lodg-
ing against the opposite side of the skull. The pockets
of the deceased were untouched, with the exception of
an inner money pocket, which was empty, and his watch
was left.
The son of the murdered man, a boy about twelve
years of age, depcs!d that on entering the town of
Brecon on Friday night, his father called to do business
at the Barrack Canteen, and while he (the boy) stayed
with the carts at the gate, the prisoner came up and
asked where the owner was. They left town about
eight o'clock in the evening, and when about three miles
on the Trecastle road, the prisoner got out of a waggon
on the road, and bargained with the deceased for a ride
to Trecastle in one of his carts. They all walked part
of the way to warm themselves, end afterwards the de-
ceased, assisted by prisoner, put the boy in one of the
carts, and covered him up with straw and sacking, when
he fell asleep, and was only awoke by the cart stopping
at the toll-gate.
A young farmer, returning home from Brecon about
eight that night, deposed that prisoner rode with him at
the back of a chaise as far as a public-house, two miles

from the town, where he said lie would go no further
that night ; and a lad, who drove a waggon on the same
road, stated that soon after he saw the prisoner about
300 yards nearer Brecon than the public-house; that he
obtained permission to ride. in the waggon, and stated
that he had been drinking a quart of ale at the public-
house. Nearly a mile further on the waggon was over-
taken by the carts of the deceased, and the prisoner
bat gained with him for a ride to Trecastle, and left in
company with him.

The landlady of the inn stated that the prisoner had
not been in there that night, and further proved that
she had seen him that evening in a draper's shop at
Brecon, purchasing a drab macintosh ; which was
corroborated by two shopmen ; and the same macintosh
was subsequently found lying on the banks of a little
river near the prisoner's home, and full thirty miles
from Brecon. The prisoner had also, a week previously,
bought a pair of pocket pistols, with mould, &c., com-
plete, at Brecon, and had been practising on the
previous Monday at a *mark, in the town of Llandovery,
with those pistols. It was proved that be had visited
two public-houses at Brecon, as late as six o'clock in
the evening of the murder, and at one of those houses,
where deceased put up, inquired if any butter carriers
had gone that night. Before ten next morning prisoner
was met near his own home, apparently returning from
a journey, and dressed in a drab mackintosh, by a farmer
and by Sir James Hamlyn Williams's gamekeeper.
That night he was apprehended on a bridge leading to
his father's house by the rural police, and while in their
custody dropped a pair of pocket pistols, and on his
person were found several bullets and some gunpowder.
Two days after his father was seen picking up a purse
of money close to the scene of his capture, and some
time subsequently the contents were discovered hid in
the father's house, and proved to be two 51. notes, a
cheque for 5/., and some gold and silver. It was proved
that notes of the same banks had been paid by respect-
able tradespeople to the murdered man, and the cheque
was identified as one paid to him by a lady who was able
to give the date and number of the document. A number
of minute circumstances made up, with the above facts, a
chain of circumstantial evidence so trong that all the in-
genuity of the prisoner's counsel, exerted in a speech of
an hour and a quarter, failed to weaken it.
His LORDSHIP summed up very minutely, and the
jury, after retiring for half an hour, returned a verdict
of Guilty of wilful murder.
The prisoner's countenance at this moment assumed a
far more earnest aspect than it had borne at any pre-
vious part of the day, and when his Lordship proceeded,
with the most impressive solemnity, to pass sentence of
death, he buried his face in his handkerchief, and bowed
his head down OR the front of the dock ; but during the
awful address he suddenly rose up, and with fierce
vehemence cried out, "I am not guilty ;" and sub-
sequently, when reference was made to his crime, he
exclaimed, "I am not afraid to die for that." He was
removed from the dock apparently in deep distress, the
calmness and cheerful demeanour which bad hitherto
characterised his manner having entirely deserted him.

HOME ClRCUlT.—Kingston, March 27.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and

a Special Jury.)
SOLOMON e. LAWSON.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover
damages for a libel published in the Times.
The declaration stated that the plaintiff was a mer-
chant at St. Helena, and that he had been in the habit
of supplying ships with water at that place, and the libel

complained of was contained in letters published in the
Times, which charged him with putting unwholsesome
water on board a vessel called the Moffat, in consequence
of which it was alleged that the passengers and crew be-
came very ill. The defendant's pleas amounted is a
justification of the alleged libellous article, and upon this
issue was joined.
Mr. Montagu Chambers and Mr. E. James appeared
for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Pea-
cock were for the defendant.
Mr. CHAMBERS addressed the jury, and said he had
the honour to appear on behalf of Mr. Solomon, who
sought at
,the hands of the jury recompense for a
most grievous injury inflicted upon his character as
an honourable merchant, and upon his feelings as a
man, by a most gross libel upon him being published
in the Times newspaper. The plaintiff had for many
pears carried on the business of a merchant at St
Helena, and his transactions were of a most extensive
character, and, owing to his respectable position, he had
filled the office of Consul for several different States in
that island. The jury might, therefore, very well believe
that he was not a man likely to lend himself to any such
villanous transaction as that which was imputed to him
by the libel of which he complained. The Learned
Counsel then proceeded to narrate the circumstances
under which the present action was brought, and read
the article in question. It was a letter addressed to the
editor of the Times, and it alleged that several gentle-
men, passengers in the Moffat, had arrived in England
in a dreadful state of illness, from having drunk poisonous
water, obtained from a copper tank at St. Helena. 11--
proceeded to say that this first letter was not so much
complained of, but Messrs. Gardner and Urquhart, re
spectable merchants in the City, who were the London
agents of the plaintiff, upon seeing it in the Times, felt
it their duty to write to the paper to endeavour to ascer-
tain who was the author of such a mischievous state-
ment. He should have thought that this would, at all
events, have had the effect of making the conductors
of the paper cautious how they proceeded further in
so serious a matter ; but, instead of doing so,
they refused to give up the name of the writer
of the letter, and two days afterwards published
another letter, in which the charges were repeated,
and the name of the plaintiff was given as the
party who had been the means of supplying the poisoned
water to the vessel. Such a charge as this was of the
most serious character, and it imputed to him an act
disgraceful to him as a man, and ruinous as a merchant.
Besides the charge contained in the original letter, th
second contained a caution to all captains to be careful
how they obtained their water at St. Helena, and con-
cluded by stating that the captain of the Moffat, his
wife, and the crew had all been ill, and that the doctor
of the vessel had declared that it was a decided case of
poisoning. He should show the jury that the state-
ments in question were false in every particular ; that
neither the captain, his wife, or child, or any of the crew,
were at any time seriously indisposed during the voyage,
and that the statement relative to the copper tank was
an entire fabrication, and he could not conceive any
ground for such an unfounded attack upon the plaintiff,
except it was the act of some secret enemy who intended
to ruin him.
The libels were then put in and read, after which evi-
dence was adduced on behalf of the plaintiff.
Mr. James Gilbert deposed that he was the captain of
the Moffat East Indianian, and commanded her on her
voyage home in last year. She sailed from Bombay en
the 19th of May. She had a crew of 42 men, four
mates, five military officers, named Andrews, Trope,
Cotton, Webb, and Nixon, thirteen invalided soldiers,
and witness's wife and a child were also on board. The
witness then detailed the circumstances connected with
the taking in the water at St. Helena, which he said was
done in the ordinary way, and he did not observe any-
thing remarkable about the tank. They took in about
thirty tuns, and began to use it at once, and the crew
drank very plentifully of it while at St. Helena. Wit-
ness also drank it, and did not experience any ill effects,
neither did his wife or child. All the crew were well
with the exception of the cook and the cuddy servant,
and they did at one time complain of illness. Witness
and the passengers had the water filtered, but the crew
drank it as it was brought into the ship.
In cross-examination by Mr. Sergeant SHEE, Captain
Gilbert said that the plaintiff dealt largely in provisions
of all sorts, and that he also kept a sort of lodging-house
or hotel at St. Helena. He paid him ss. a tun for the
water, and purchased other provisions, consisting of
wine, spirits, grocery, and fresh meat to the amount of
upwards of 2001, The officers were ill when they went
on board at Bombay, but they had in a great measure
recovered before they got to the Cape, and were nearly
well when they arrived at St. Helena. They began to
get ill again about a month after they left the latter
place, and one was ill sooner. He was not aware that
the gums and lips of these gentlemen turned blue very
soon after they left St. Helena. He was not aware that
they complained of having ulcers in their mouths, and that
they also had a metallic taste in them. In answer to a
question from the Learned Sergeant—the witness said
that the surgeon of the vessel had been arrested on
the previous day at his suit ; but he swore
positively that he was not aware at the time
that he had been sabpcenaed to give evidence
on behalf of the defendant, Mr. Lawson. In answer
to further questions he said that he was himself sick
after he left St. Helena, and that his wife and child were
also ill for a short time. He also said that the cook was
ill, and that he complained of a coppery taste in his
mouth, and was continually vomiting and complaining
of pains in his back and stomach. The officers had the
same symptoms, and he had observed that their lips and
gums had a blue and livid appearance. The chief mate
and the doctor were also taken ill, and exhibited similar
symptoms. The cuddy servant and the second mate
also complained.
Serjeant SHEE asked the witness whether, in point of
fact, there was not a general impression on board the
ship that they were carrying poison in some shape or
other with them ?
Witness—l did not entertain that opinion, but I b
lieve some of those on board did.
Examination continued—At one time it was thought
that Captain Nixon, one of the gentlemen in question,
could not recover, and, indeed, he was advised to prepare
for death. He was in a very bad state, his mouth ap-
peared quite blue ; he complained of great pain in his
throat and mouth, he vomited violently, and suffered
from an obstinate constipation of the be wels. Witness
would not say that if the vessel had been two days
longer at sea several of the passengers must have died,
but they certainly were in a very bad state when they
arrived in England. He had heard that the St. Helena
water was suspected, and that it was tested by the sur-
geon of the vessel.
William Pullen, the third mate, was then examined,
and he proved that he drank the water furnished by the
plaintiff during the whole of the voyage from St. Helena
to London, and that he experienced no ill effects from it.
The regular allowance of water was seven pints a day to
each man.

Davis, a sailor on board the Moffat, gave similar
testimony .
Mr. Gladstone, a ship-builder, .deposed that he built
the sloop for the plaintiff, and fitted her with the tank.
It was made of three-inch deal, and had no copperor any
kind of metal about it, in any part. It was able to con-
tain about 40 tons of water. The entire cost of the
vessel and its fittings up was about 9001.
Mr. Mason, a member of the College of Surgeo s,
proved that he analysed the water brought home in the
Moffat, and found it to be prfectly pure and entirely free
from any metallic matter.
Some letters that had passed between Mr. Dobie, the
solicitor to the Times, and the plaintiff's solicitor, were
then put in. They did not contain anything very mate-
rial to the case, but in one written by the former gentle
mAn an intimation was given that if the undertaking
were entered into not to proceed against the Times, the
name of the author would be given up.
Th's was the case for the plaintiff.
Mr. Sergeant SREE than rose to address the jury for
the defendant, and in commencing his observations he
said he felt that the present case was one not only of
importance to the parties, but to the public generally.
So far as a pecuniary point of view the matter was not
of the least importance to the proprietors of the Times ;
but the proprietors of that journal did feel a deep inte
rest in the mode in which it was conducted, and desired
that it should be made manifest to the world that there

was no pretence for saying that its columns were at the
disposal of private malice or anonymous slander. After
some further remarks, the Learned Counsel called

Captain Andrews, of the 23th Foot, Lieut. Nixon,
and Lieut. Trope, three of the gentlemen alluded to.
Their evidence was pretty much of the same ,:haracter,
being to the effect, that, having originally been suffering
from a fever contracted during the campaign in Sinde,
they were invalided, and returned home in the Moffat,

but they got much better before they arrived at St.
Helena ; and after they sailed from thence, they were
attacked in the manner described by the witnesses for
the plaintiff. Upon their cross-examination they stated
that considerable quantities of calomel had beau admi-
nistered to them for the fever, and also while they were
on board the ship.
At this stage of the case, Mr. CIAMBERS addressed
the Court, and said he had just received an intimation
that the jury was not quite so impartially composed as
it should 11e, and that one gentleman was in some way
interested. lie suggested that this gentleman should

retire, and that the Cause should be disposed of by tht,
remaining eleven.
One of the jury immediately rose, and said his name
was Howell, and the gentleman whose name had been

____ ..,...,..
mentioned by the Learned Counsel for the defendant
was his cousin. He declared, however, that until he

entered the box he had not the slightest idea that his
relative was in any way mixed up with the case, but
after what had been said he would leave it in the hander

of the Court whether he should retire from the box or

........ ,_
not. He repeated that until he was called into the box,
he was entirely ignorant that his cousin was in any way
concerned in the case.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said he quite believed what
the gentleman stated, and his conduct had been most
proper. lie would rather, therefore, leave it to himself
to decide whether he would remain as a juror, and per.
hap' he might consider that under the circumstances it
would be more satisfactory to his own feelings that he
should. not remain as a juror.
Mr. Rowell said he should gladly avail himself of the
suggestion of his Lordship, and would retire from the
jury box.

- The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE observed, that in doing so,
he would carry with him the conviction of every one
that he had acted with the utmost propriety, and he
added that every one must be satisfied from his conduct
that when he took his seat as a juror, he was entirely
ignorant that his relative was in any way connected with
the case.

The evidence was then proceeded with.
Mr. H. Green, who acted as surgeon on board the
Moffat on her voyage home, was called as a witness, but
his evidence did not carry the case any further. He de-
scribed the symptoms exhibited by the gentlemen alluded
to, and expressed an opinion that they were suffering
from the effects of some metallic poison.
On being cross-examined, he said that be did not

think the water was the cause of the illness of the pas-
sengers. He also stated that he had tested the water
during the voyage and faund that it did not contain any
particle of copper. He also admitted that some of the
symptoms were very similar to those that would be ex-
hibited by persons who had taken too large a quantity of
mercury.
Two me_lical gentlemen who had attended upon the
patients after their arrival in England were next ex-
amined, and they also expressed an opinion that they
were suffering from the effects of some metallic poison.
Mr. H. Howell was then examined—He deposed that
he was a merchant, and carried on business under the
firm of Howell and Co., in Broad-street-buildings. He
knew Mrs. Nixon, and was at her house when her son,
Lieutenant Nixon, and Lieutenant Cotton came home
from the Moffat ; and in consequence of seeing their
dreadful condition and the statements they made, he said
he was induced to write the letters signed " Nauticus"
to the Timer, believing at the time that their contents
were true. He gave his name and address to the Times
when he sent the first letter. At that time he did not
know anything of Mr. Solomons. Witness had been at
St. Helena, but was not connected with any merchant or
any other person at that place.
Cross-examined—After the first letter was written,
witness had a communication with Mr. Gardner, the
plaintiff's agent, and he told him that the person who
wrote the letter had no money, and that it would be use-
less to proceed against him. He also told him that the
writer had been a bankrupt, and that if proceedings
were taken against him he would be a bankrupt agsin.
Witness had been a bankrupt. He had not indemnified
the monies.

Mr. CHAMBERS then addressed the jury in reply, and
said that the case for the plaintiff had not at all been
shaken by the evidence adduced on the other side, and
he argued that the Times had most improperly lent itself
to a most gross and unfounded attack upon the cha-
racter of an horrourable man, wha might have been en-
tirely ruined, and all his prospects destroyed before he
was actually aware of the source from whence the blow
was struck. He concluded by calling upon the jury to
give ample an 1 exemplary damages.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE having briefly summed up,
the jury retired, and after being absent about half an
hour, returned into Court, finding a verdict for the
plaintiff—Damages, 5001.

lIIIDLAND ClRCUlT—Coventry. March 27.
The commission for the Coventry division of the coun •
ty of Warwick was opened yesterday, with a calendar of
forty-two prisoners for trial ; but, with two or three
exceptions, they are all cases of stealing. The only
serious cases are those of Susannah Jarvis, a girl aged
13, charged with the murder of the infant chile of
Emma Golsby, and John Preston, charged with having,
in the company of others not in custody, committed a
burglary at Mancetter, in this county. There is no
cause but three heavy road indictments appointed for
trial on Friday.
(Before Chief Justice TINDAL.)
John Preston, alias Hudson, aged 32, wits charged
with burglary, on the 19th of October, in the house of
Thomas Worthington, at Mancetter.
Mr. Wilmore prosecuted.
The prosecutor, a fine old man close upon ninety,
stated that about one o'clock o ithe night in question he
was aroused from his sleep by a noise at the front door,
and went down. His niece and his working man,
Thomas Wilson, were with him. Some people were
hammering at the door. The prosecutor asked what
they wanted, and they replied " his cows were out"
The prosecutor said they might go, for they would do
no harm until the morning. Then they asked for drink,
and were told they might have as much as they liked if
they would come the next day. They then began to
break open the door, at the top of which a hole had
been made. Prosecutor called for his arms, and his
niece brought him a pistol. He tried to put it through
the door, but his eye-sight being bad he could not find it
at first, but did afterwards, and fired it off. His niece
also gave him a sword, which he passed between the wall
and the door, and tried to strike any one he could
reach. The persons outside threw large stones
through the hole, and hit the prosecutor, who would
have fallen, had not his niece caught him in her arms.
There were five or six persons outside. They broke
open the door with levers. Prosecutor had a blunder-
buss in his hand at the time, which he had taken from
the chimney-piece. His niece said, " For God's sake,
don't shoot them," and the men walked in, prosecutor
having lifted the muzzle of the gun and fired it oft, to
prevent their using it. The blood was running down
prosecutor's face from the blow on the head from a stone.
The men pushed him about, and otherwise ill-treated
him, and robbed the place of a pistol, four sovereigns,
some silver, and other matters. No part of the property
was found on the prisoner ; but a conversation was de-
posed to as having taken place between the prisoner and
another man named Haines, who was in gaol at the same
time. The substance of this conversation was that the
prisoner was put in the cell with him, at which time he
had not heard of the Mancetter robbery. Prisoner was
asked what he was in for, and he said on suspicion of the
a iaitt•ir r obbery. He said there had been very litt
from the robbery, some gold and some new coin ; that
there had been violence. Beer had been asked for, and re
fused. They then broke in. Haines said, " You must
have been there, or have known somebody who was
there." Prisoner said, " Unluckily he was there, though
not in the house." Haines told the statement to the
governor of the gaol. He was then applied to to become
a witness. He refused, thinking it was a breach of con-
fidence. He was then taken before the magistrate and
compelled to enter into his recognizances, and kept in
gaol for the purpose of insuring his attendance. There
was a reward of 2001. offered, but Haines said he did not
know it at the time of the disclosure in question.
The prisoner attempted to prove an alibi to the effect
that he was at Ann's•acre, between twenty and thirty
miles from the place of the robbery; that he was at
home and in bed by ten o'clock; but there were many
discrepancies in the different statements of the witnesses.
The Learned JUDGE summed up the case very clearly
and concisely; and
The jury, after a few moments' consideration, returned
a verdict of Guilty.
A previous conviction for felony having been proved,
The prisoner was sentenced to transportation for life.
The CHIEF JUSTICE then ordered Mr. Worthington
to stand forth, and after praising his courage and conduct
in the matter, stated he should direct the county to pay
him a reward of 10/.
(Before Mr. Justice MatieE.)
MURDER.—Susannah Jarvis, an interesting-looking
girl, of the age of 13, was placed at the bar, charged
with the murder of Emma Golsby, at Coventry, on the
22d of April last.
Mr. Mellor and Mr. Adams were for the prosecution;
Mr. Humfrey, Q.C., conducted the defence.
This case was tried at the last summer assizes for
this division of the county, and lasted a whole day, but
the jury, after being locked up through the night, not
being able to agree, were discharged. At the winter
assizes the trial was postponed, on the prisoner's appli-
cation, on account of her not being able to obtain the
assistance of Mr. Humfrey, who defended her on the
previous occasion, but who does not attend the winter
assizes.

The trial now came on, and lasted the greater portion
of the day, but the main facts are shortly these :—The
and had been acting as
a prisoner
nurse cionm frome ser Kenilworth,vice
of
lair.
a n
Airs. Golsby, who
kept an inn called the Canal Tavern, Leicester-row, just
entering the town from Leicester. Mrs. Golsby had
three children, of whom the deceased, a child in arms,
was the youngest. The prisoner had been in their ser-
vice three or four months, and but a short time before
the murder had been scolded for bringing the child home
with its throat scratched. Her mistress asked her what
it, was, to which she replied, "Nothing." It was sup-
pOsed she did not treat the child well, as it was never
willing to go to her. There was a woman-servant kept
in the house, and happening to be going to Kenilworth,
she told the prisoner she would call and tell her parents
of her conduct, and that if she did not behave better,
she should be sent home. On the night of the murder,
Mrs. Gulaby had proceeded up stairs to put one of the
children in bed, leaving another, about nine years old,
in the bar, and the baby In the cradle in the kitchen.
There is a short passage leading from the kitchen into
the yard, and the little girl in the bar saw the pri-
soner come from the kitchen into the passage, saying,
she was going to the " petty." She saw her at the
kitchen door, and then returned into the bar. The
mother was up stairs, and was struck by hearing a
curious moaning noise, and shortly after a sharp cry.
The distance -where she was from the kitchen was but
short. She ran down in a moment, and met the prisoner
just coming out of the kitchen, who said, " Oh, ma'am,
man has just come in and murdered baby, and has gone
away down the yard." The poor mother rushed in, and
saw the child murdered in the cradle, the instrument
used being a carving knife that lay on the dresser, and
was within the reach of any person standing at the head
of the cradle. The death was caused by a thrust in the
neck above the collar-bone, extending into the chest.
Several witnesses for the defence Rroved that a man
had been seen much about the time in question on the
premises and to go away, and it was that circumstance
that had induced the doubt in the minds of the former
jury. These were the principal features of the case.
The Learned JUDGE summed up with great minute-
jury, after deliberating a short time, found
thenes minute-
ness,prisonerandthe Not Guilty.
