WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Taunton, Dec. 11.
(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)
Charles Dyer was indicted for maliciously wounding
John Organ with a hatchet, with intent to kill and mur-
der him.

Mr. Prideaux conducted the case fur the prosecution ;
Mr. Stone defended the prisoner.
From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor was
a carpenter at Frome, and the prisoner was his appren-
tice. On the 20th of September the prosecutor and pri-
soner had been out together in a cart. On their return
home the prosecutor found fault with something the
prisoner had done, and the latter becoming abusive, the
prosecutor struck him with a small stick. The prisoner
went to another part of the shop, seized a hatchet, and
struck the prosecutor with the hatchet on the head, and
inflicted a severe wound, and afterwards said, if he had
not split his skull he would do so.
Mr. STONE, in addressing the jury for the prisoner,
said he had not an opportunity of telling his story, or ex-
plaining his conduct.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON said, that in his opinion every
prisoner had a right to make a defence for himself, in ad-
dition to what might be urged in his behalf by his coun-
sel, otherwise the Prisoners' Counsel Bill would be one of
the most unjust things in the world.
Mr. STONE then contended that the prisoner had only
acted in self-defence, and suggested that the Jury might
secure the prisoner punishment by finding hun guilty of
a common assault.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON said, that it was not a case of
common assault. If the prisoner had only acted in self-
defence, and had not done more than was requisite, they
would acquit him altogether. He was very sorry that
the Legislature had introduced such a power, because it
enabled juries, as it were, to legislate. It was, in his
opinion, a very dangerous thing.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON said, he disapproved of a master
striking an apprentice ; at the same time, the prisoner
had been guilty of great misconduct in abusing his
master. The sentence of the Court was that the prisoner
be imprisoned for a year.
Isaac Padfield was indicted for maliciously wounding
John Horler.
Mr. Stone conducted the case for the prosecution, and
Sir. Edwards defended the prisoner.
From the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared that
he and the prisoner were going along the road, the latter
riding on a donkey, when some persons who were with
them pulled the prisoner off the donkey. The prisoner
then threw two stones at the prosecutor, which struck
him. It then seemed that Horler struck the prisoner's
father and mother, who were present, several times.
The prisoner then threw a third stone, which struck the
prosecutor on his head, and inflicted a severe wound.
He was attended by a surgeon for two months, and se-
veral pieces of bone were removed.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON said, this was one of the cases
which would justify a party being convicted of a common
assault.
The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Not of an assault, gentlemen?
Did he not throw the stone ?
The jury—My Lord, we think he was justified.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—No, gentlemen, he was not
justified in point of law. You must reconsider that. If
you think he did not throw the stone, that is another
thing.
The Learned JUDGE, after the jury had been con-
sulting some time, said, he thought he must under the
Act of Parliament confine their attention to the third
stone, and the prisoner might have been justified in
throwing that, if he did no more than was necessary in
his own defence.
The jury then returned-a verdict of Not Guilty.
Enoch Porch, George Suddery, and John Love, were
indicted for assaulting John Newman, on the highway,
putting him in fear, and robbing him of :a jacket and
a pair of trousers, near Freshford, on the 26th of
October.
From the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared, that
on the evening in question he was going home, carrying
a bundle containing a jacket and trousers. When he got
to Freshford Mill-lane, he heard a noise in an orchard
adjoining the lane, lie looked to see the cause of it, and
observed three men lying under a hedge. He asked
what they were doing. One of them said, " What is
that to you ?" The men came over the hedge and
walked on. The prosecutor followed them to see who
they were. lie overtook them, and Porch collared him
and threw him down in a ditch, by the road side. The
other two men (who were the other prisoners) then
came to his assistance. They fell upon him and beat
him, and one of them took away his bundle. He called
for assistance, and a man named Freeman came to him,
but the prisoners threw stones and potatoes at them.
In cross-examination by the prisoner Porch, the pro-
secutbr said he knew him well, because they had worked
together on the tread-wheel in the goal.
By the JUDGE—I was in prison for pulling out the
tongue of a mule. I was not tried in a Court. I was
sent to gaol by the magistrate.
The JUDGE—What, was this in England ?
The witness—Yes, my Lord.
The JUDGE—Are you sure it was not in France ? for
I don't know under what law it was.
Freeman swore that ho saw the three men ; they were
the prisoners. They surrounded him and knocked him
down. He had known Suddery before.
The jury found all the prisoners Guilty.
Proof was given of the former convictioa of all the pri-
soners in Wiltshire.
The prisoners were then sentenced to 15 years' trans-
portation.

Having been actively engaged in mercantile pursuits for the last
38 years in the metropolis, I rest my pretensions to your support
entirely upon my well.known business habits, which I trust will be
deemed the best guarantee, that, should I be placed by your suf
(rages in the honourable post to which I aspire, 1 shall faithfully
perform the duties attaching thereto.

Shilling per lb., and wholesale to the Trade by EDWARD PRICE
and CO., Belmont, Vauxhall; and Palmer and Co., Sutton-street,
Clerkenwel .

Purchasers must insist upon being supplied in the shops with
" Price's Patent Candles," or they are ♦sry likely to get some of
the imitations, on account of the greater profit afforded to the
dealer by these latter.

" Mr. Meadows has shown great felicity in seizing on the bearing
and purport of Shakspere with reference to his own pictorial art.
The richness of humour and justness of conception cannot be com-
mended too highly. We recommend this edition of Shakspere, as
suited to those who ran appreciate sports of fancy and exuberance
of humour ; and we advise a perusal of Barry Cornwall's Essay, for
his fine estimate of a dramatist."—Times.

ANTICIPATIONS OF CHRISTMAS.
Who would not pen a simple rhyme
To welcome Christmas—merry time ?
Who would not picture with delight
The festive scenes so gay and light ?
Who would not proudly raise their voice
And bid the human heart rejoice—
For Christmas, with its merry train,
Approaches blithely on again!
As " salutations" hail the time,
Why, " fiyam" would with truth combine
His grateful thanks he would express
For public favours and succcrosl
And prove by sterling truth and deeds
Hnw well his system now succeeds.
The parting year surpasses all
The "past" that memory can recal
And future effbrts will display
Of clothing a superb array;
So to your form a grace impart,
And visit Hyam's splendid Mart I

OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Statfori, Dec. 11.
The assizes for Shropshire terminated yesterday after-
noon, and Mr. Justice Coltman was enabled to reach
Stafford by about ten at night, when the commission was
immediately opened. The labours of the Learned Judge
have been exceedingly severe during the present circuit,
the unexpected pressure of business obliging him at
Gloucester, Worcester, and Shrewsbury, to continue in
Court after midnight ; indeed on Monday night the
trials were protracted until nearly three in the morning.
These lengthened and onerous duties, during such severe
weather, have been productive of serious annoyances to
many, if dangerous results should not follow to some ;
and we regret to add that his Lordship is himself a
sufferer from the inclemency of the season and his ardu-
ous avocations, which have nearly deprived him of the
power of articulation. _

At ten this morning the Learaed Judge attended
Christ Church, in the north suburbs of Stafford, the fine
old parish church of St. Mary's being still under repair,
escorted by the High Sheriff (Mr. Ralph Sneyd) and the
municipal authorities of the borough, where a very ex-
cellent sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Sutcliff,
the sheriff's chaplain, after which his Lord►hip proceeded
to the Crown Court, when a full grand jury was empan-
nelled, Viscount Ingestrie, M.P., being the foreman.
The address was one of unusual brevity, and the Learned
Judge was scarcely audible during the delivery of it, in
consequence of the severe cold and hoarseness with
which he is affected.

Charles Lear, aged 23, was indicted' or having at Har-
borne, on the 23d of June, feloniously and maliciously
cut and wounded John Whitfield, with intent to do Lim
some grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Yardley appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Huddleston for the prisoner.
The prosecutor, a servant in the employ of the Bir-
mingham Canal Company, had been directed, with
several others, to protect the waters of their employers
from the nets and lines of unauthorised fishermen.
During the night several trespassers were detected, two
of whom stoutly resisted the authority of the watchers,
and were enabled by the aid of a mob, who assembled
very quickly on the commencement of the disturbance,
to maintain a protracted fight, in which the assailants
were ultimately defeated. About two hours after the
cessation of the conflict, as the prosecutor and his com-
panions wero passing under a bridge, the prisoner, who
had been active with the mob at the previous fight,
dropped a brickbat on the head of the prosecutor, from
the effects of which ♦iolence he was rendered insensible,
and continued for many weeks in so precarious a state
that the trial of the prisoner was postponed at the summer
assizes, in consequence of Whitfield's inability to appear
as a witness.

From the evidence of the surgeon, it appeared that the
sk-ull of the prosecutor had been fractured by the blow,
but that no rupture of the euticle had taken place,
whereupon

Mr. Justice COLTMAN intimated that the: charge of
felony could not be supported.
The prisoner was convicted of an assault, and in con-
sideration of his previous imprisonment was sentenced
only to four months' hard labour.:
Abraham Sharratt, aged 23, and John Pickering, aged
26, two resolute and formidable-looking fellows, were
charged with a burglary in the house of Edith Bourne,
at Elford, on the 20th of September, and with stealing a
variety of articles therein.

Mr. Meteyard conducted the prosecution, and the
prisoners defended themselves.
On the night of Friday, the 2Gth of September, the
dwelling-house of the prosecutrix, a maiden lady of re-
spectability, residing in the vicinity of Tamworth, was
omie secure by the servants, who retired to rest at
about ten o'clock. In the morning all the doors were
discovered open, and it was ascertained that during the
night some persons had entered by the kitchen window,
an iron stanchion from the frame of which was found to
have been violently Pareed out. On the Monday follow-
ing the two prisoners were arrested by a constable on
the banks of the canal between Tamwoeth and Birming-
ham, with a variety of articles stolen from the house of
Miss Bourne on the person of each.
The witnesses were statjected to very long and imper-
tinent cross-examinations from the prisoner Sharratt,
who conducted himself throughout the trial with an un- '
paralleled effrontery, and evidently showed himself to be
no novice in the proceedings of a criminal court.
They were found Guilty ; and a previous conviction
for a similar offenpe having been established against
tiarrati, lig was sentenced to ten years' traloport‘twni
and Pickering to eighteen mouthy' hard labour.
