Mr. Sletcalre conducted the case for the prosecution,
and Mr. Pryme defended the prisoner.
From the evidence of the prosecutrix, a girl not yet
12 years of age, it appeared that on the day named in
the indictment she was sent into the fi, Ids with her
brother's dinner. On her way she pasard a field in which
were the prisoner and another young man at woik, and
again on her way home. On the latter occasion the pri-
soner, despite the intreaiies of his companion, followed
the poor thing, and, according to the very confused ac-
count which she could give of the affair, accomplished
the offence with which he stood charged, having, in the
first instance, deliberately tied her hands bilind her
back. On her arrival at home she wept bitterly, and
complained to her mother that. " Jack flail had been
meddling with her," but her t,arent did not seem to
have entered very warmly into the cause of her injured
child, for she contented herself with being " quite taken
aback," and omitted to send for a medical man.
ttis LORDSHIP having summed up the case to the jury,
left it to them to say whether they thought it had been
clearly made out.

The jury, after a short deliberation, acquitted the pri-
soner of the felony, • but found him guilty of a common
a,sault ; whereupon he was sentenced to 12 months' im-
prisonment.

As might have been expected, the business of these
assizes was brought to a close in the course of the day,
so ti.at the bench and the bar may di..p.irt themselves on
Sunday and Monday in the walls of Alma Mater, or on
the banks of the sedgy Cam, as the commission fur Nor-
folk is not " due" till Tuesday.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT—York, July is.
(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE )
THOMPSON v. DnDGSON.
BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.—This was an
action for breach of promise of marriage. Mr. Baines
and Mr. Rew appeared for the plaintiff. The action was
undefended.
Mr. BAINES stated the case. The plaintiff, who was
then 26 years of age, was the daughter of John Thomp-
son, who formerly kept an inn at Gisburn, and was now
a masher carrier at the same place. The defendant was
a person of about the same age as the plaintiff; and he
rented a farm of 150 L a year, at Newsome, under Lord
Ribblesdale. The intimacy between the parties com-
menced as far back as 1838, when he was received as a
suitor, and he stated that it was his intention to marry
the plaintiff. In 1840 she gave .birth to a chill, and in
1842, in consequence of her father being unfortunate in
business, she went to reside at Manchester as a house-
keeper. The defendant had written a number of letters
to the plaintiff down to the middle of last summer, which
left no doubt that the defendant had promised to marry
her, although he had neglected to fulfil his engagement.
The Learned Counsel then proceeded to read a number
of letters, in which the defendant stated that the plain-
tiff was

" His nightly thought,
• His morning care,
His evening song,
His morning prayer.'
—(Laughter.) He also stceit his desire" to lodge where
she lodged, to eat where she ate, and to rest where she
rested." In another letter he s.iid :
" Your hand and heart I wish to claim,
Oh, make me happy with the same,
In pity yield to my requ,st,
And in your smiles let me be blest I"
—(Loud laughter:) Mr. Baines observtd, that it was
quite clear promises of marriage had been made by the
defendant and broken, and he therefore submitted that
the plaintiff had a right to recover considerable damages.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Da-
mages, 501.

(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.)
The Court was occupied the greater part of the day
in trying cases of rape, the details of which aro not fit
for pub!ication. In the first case, Henry Blond was ac-
quitted ; in the other Jonas Bower was found guilty, and
transported for life.
Mr. Granger, Mr. Overend, and Mr. Johnstone were
for the prosecution ; and qr. Bliss for the defence.

SOUTH WALES CIR CUlT.—Carrnartheq July 18.
David Jones, Esq., banker, of Llandovery, High, She-
riff of the county of Carmarthen. proceeded last evening
' with his retinue °javelin men. &c., to escort Mr. Jus-
tice Coltman into this town, where he arrived between
eight and nine o'clock, and shortly afterwards his L• rd-
ship proceeded to the Guildhall, attended by the Sheriff,
&c., and the corporation officials, when he opened the
commission of assize for this county. The calendar of
prisoners for trial is unusually light, there being only
about half a dozen on the list ; this, no doubt, arises from
the circumstance of the Quarter Sessions having recently
taken place; yet a general impression prevails that of
late there has been a considerable diminution of crime
in most of the Welsh counties. It was very doubtful
whether his Lordship would reach Carmarthen in time
to open the commission, on account of the mass of evi-
dence adduced in the heavy case of Lord Dunraven v.
Matins, in which Sir T. Wilde and Mr. Cockburn ware
specially retained. The subject-matter of this action,
which terminated in a verdict for the plaintiff, was in
respect of certain mines, which have already been the
subject of much litigation, and in which a second action
of Matins v. Price stands adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOh'OUGH-STREET.
John M'Carthy was brought up in custody on a warrant for
feloniously receiving one gold bracelet, of the value of 501., the
property of the Hon. Colonel Pepys. The prisoner was ap-
prehended this morning, on his being discharged from the new
Westminster Bridewell, where he had been imprisoned for
fourteen days for drunken and disorderly conduct.
It will be recollected that about three weeks ago a quantity
of plate and the bracelet in question were discovered to have
been stolen from Lord Cottenhasn's residence, No. 16, Park-
lane, and on the Bth instant a man offered for sale the bracelet,
broken into pieces, at the shop of Mr. Louis Keyzor, of Tot-
tenham-court-road, dealer in gold and at I ver,Ni ho, suspecting that
it had not honestly been come by, told the man to wait in
the shop, and went for a constable to give him into custody.
The man, however, during his absence, decamped. In the
course of the day a female, who has since given the name of
Mary M'Carthy, and proves to be the prisoner's wife, went to
Mr. Keynes shop, and asked for the money for the bracelet,
on which she was given in charge, and being brought to this
court has since stood remanded.

The police tracing out that the male prisoner was in
Westminster Bridewell, Mr. Keysor went there, and imme-
diately identified him as the person who had offered the
bracelet for sale.

The prislners have for some considerable time past kept a
petty marine store and rag shop in Peter-street, Soho.
The police having obtained some clue to the parties who
actually committed the robbery, there will, as a matter of
course, be a further remand.

IMPROVED SCAFFOLDING.—There are .tome houses
building at Kensington Gore which have a contrivance worthy
of being imitated by builders, where space will admit of its
being us•d it is a series of inclined planes, to enable the la-
bourers to reach with more ease to themselves the different
stories of the building with bricks and mortar. A labourer is
more fatigued going up one day by the ladder than he is three
on the inclined plane.— The Builder.

OF A FEARFUL CASE OF PILES BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS

editor and proprietor of the Armagh Guardian, an Irish news-
paper, vouches as to the fact of an extraordinary cure of a
case of piles of the most distressing nature, and of some years'
standing, which was effected by these medicines, when every
other means had failed. The person alluded to is a gentleman
of large estate and great influence in the county c.f Armagh.

termed " a bearing down," if they have recourse to these far-
famed remedies. Sold by most of the respectable chemists
throughout the civilised world, and at Professor Holloway's
Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
