HOP INTELLIGENCE.

MAIDSTONE.—The hops have not made that progress the
last week, in coming into the bur, that was expected. yhe
weather has been against them, yet they continue to grow, and
are free from disease but they now want warm weather.
WATERINGBURY:AIEREWORTH, AND TESTON.—III con-
sequence of the wet and cold weather, the hops are rather
unfavourably spoken of ; but, should the weather become fine
and warm. there is every appearance of a good crop.
BRENCHLEY.—Owing to the wet state of the weather, our
hops do not get foro,ard in bur. They have not materially
suffered, otherwise our prospects are not so favourable as they
were this day se'onight, consequently the duty is not so freely
backed.

IGHTHAN.—The hops are still growing fast, but the late
winds and heavy rains have battered them about very much.
There is very little bur out yet, and unless we have more fa-
vourable weather in the course of the week, there is a great fear
they will fruit very badly.
GOUPHUAST.—A little more sun and warmer nights are
desirable to bring out the bur as we could wish, but still the
hops are looking well, and we think need fear nought but wind
and cold. •

TUDELEY AND CAPEL.—So far as the vermin are con-
cerned we may consider ourselves safe, and if the weather
should prove congenial during this month we may anticipate a
good crop.

SEVENOAKS.—The hops look exceedingly well in the neigh-
bourhood, the bur being str erg and free from vermin.
HORSMONDEN.—We are locking anxiously for fine warm
weather, as the hops are progressing slowly ; indeed, if we do
not get a change of weather, it is impossible our hopes of getting
a heavy crop can be realised, as a great deal of the bur will
never come into hop. The bine is still clean and looking tolerably
well, considering the late rains and winds.
FARNHAM, ALTON, AND COUNTRY DISTRICT, AUG. 2.
Unless we get hot weather within a few days, the hops will
fall short of.our anticipations, as the season is now so far ad-
vanced.

HASTINGS, AUGUST 5. —The late high winds have had a
material effect on the hops in this neighbourhood, and they are
in consequence not in so flourishing a condition. Duty called
180,0001.
WEsTrlELn.—The hops have not improved this last week,
being much in want of sun and warm weather.
BEXHILL AND IlooE.—Our hops have been very much
injured by the wind the last few days. The crop will fall short
of what was expected a fortnight ago. We want more sun and
kind weather. •
WHATLINGTON.-Our grounds are quite wet enough, and
the late winds have rather bruised the bales. We cannot speak
so favourably of our hop; as hitherto.
RYE.—The hops in the neighbourhood continue to improve,
and fine warm weather is all that is requtred to ensure a good
crop.
GUZSTLING.-Our bops have had a great increase of lice
since our last report. The bur is not very fast in its progress.
ICKLESHA3I.—There are a great many lice in this parish,
but they do net seem to affect the bine. The bur has made its
appearance, but gets on very slowly.
DETLING (NEAR AIAIDSTJNE). AUG. s.—Our hops are
coming into bur very slowly ; and what little is developed is
not looking very thriving. Considering that a hacktvard and
prolific crop is beyond precedent, we are not very sanguine.

Great nunalaers of tourists daily pass through Ul-
verston from Bardsea, where they arrive by the steamers from
the south. The new steamer, the Lady of the Lake, continues
a source of great attraction at Windermere; and causes numbers
of tourists to bend their steps in that direction.—Cumberland
Pacquet.
EARLY HAuvEcT.—A small crop of corn, belong-
ing to Mr. Smith, Content Garden, Wallace-town, was cut on
Saturday last. It was sown on the 25th March, and came into
ear-on the. 16th June: • Seventeen ea, thus elapsed between
sowing and reaping.—Ayr Observer.
GRAVESEND AND ROCHESTER RAILWAY.—The fol-
lowing are the traffic returns for the week ending 2d Aug.:—
Possengers, 14,114 ; amount received, 344/. 15s. 2d.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
MIDLAND CI RCI.7 I T.— Coratry, Aug. 6.
( Before the CHIEF BARON.
FORGERY.— Thomas Tanfield and Thomas Pollard were
indicted, the one for forgery, and the other for procurin, and
uttering a bill of exchange for all, knowing the same to be
forged, with intent to defraud William Coleman.
Mr. Waddington and Mr. Spooner were for the prosecution ;
Mr. Miller defended Pollard, and Mr. Willmore, Tanfield.
The facts were these —Pollard was a silk dyer at Coventry,
Tanfield acting as his clerk and accountant. On the 21st of
February Pollard paid an account to Mr. Coleman, a manu-
facturer of Coventry, with an acceptance of 301., purporting to
he drawn by Pollard upon Air. Leeson, accepted by that gentle•
man, and payable at Jones Loyd and Co., London. The bill
was endorsed by Coleman, and was paid into the Coventry and
Warwickshire Bank, but upon becoming due was dishonoured.
Mr. Leeson upon being called stated that he could not
unite; it followed of course the endorsement on the note was
not his. Being in a large way of business he authorised his
Jaycocks. to draw and accept bills on his itecount,
but he swore most chstinctly he never authorised any rote else
to accitt or draw for him.
Mr. Coleman stated he received the acceptance in question,
and paid it into his banker's, but on becoming due it was dis-
honeured.

Mr. Jaycocks, the son-in-law, swore the words James
Leeeuri" were not in his handwriting.
Several persons wore then calved, who proved the body of
the bill, the signature " Pollard," the acceptance " James
1.ce,0n," and the endorsement " William Coleman." were in

he handwriting of Tanfield. Before-the bill became due
.'ollard thought fit to quit the country.
The prisoners were bound Guilty, acd sentenced to Le trans-
mrted for seven years.

NORTHERN Gill C .T.. 1 I T—Ctrlisle, Aug 6
CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE. )
HIGHWAY ROB BE RV. —John Henry Wrigley and Nicholas
Allison, two labouring men, were charged with the offence
of assault with intent to I ob. This case was tried yesterday
afternoon, but was not concluded until some time after the
post closed.
Mr. Grainger and Mr. Ramshay appeared to conduct the
prosecution.
.The prosecutor, William Bushby, a man of about fifty-
four or fifty-five years of age, is a farmer and maltster,
residing at Prospect, a short distance from Cockermouth,
anti farms about 1 000 acres of land. He stated that on the
2d of September last he was at Cockermouth market, and
there, during the day, received 80/. He received 60/. from
John Carter, at the Woolpack Inn. Believed the prisoner
Wrigley was present at the time. Left Cockermouth at
about eight in the evenieg to return home, on foot, and he
would have about two miles and three quarters to go. On the
way he met one of his labourers who was coming to meet him,
bringing a mare for him to ride. He got upon the mare, and
that was at about three-quarters of a mile out of Cockermouth.
After proceeding some distance on the road, he saw the two
men, supposed to be the prisoners at the bar. They came out
from under a hedge, and one had a gun. They again retired,
and the one having a gun gave it to the other, and then crept
along under the hedge for about 100 yards a-head of him (the
prosecutor). This induced him to put the mare into a canter.
On coming towards the spot where the nearer man was, that
man came out into the road with the gun, at a few paces be-
fore the mare's head, and endeavoured to stop her, saying,
" Deliver up your money, or we'll shoot you." Witness said,
" It's all nonsense, I've left it at the bapk. ' He then put the
mare into a gallop, arid went towards the other man a-head.
That men was the prisoner Wrigley. Had known hint before,
and he is called " Proofer," from being a hat-proofer.
Wrigley then came running in a desperate way, sloping
I towards witness, seizing the mare's bridle with the left
hand, and grappling with the right to get witness oil.
He told witness to deliver up his money, or to at he
should have his brains blown out. The mare swerved to
one side, and went against a stone wall. Wrigley had
hold of the bridle, but witre ss struck his hand with a
stick, and so disengaged the hand of Wrigley, at the same time
calling out to him, " Clear the road, you beggar." Wrigley
appeared to fall, and witness then galloped on home as fast as
he could. At about eighty or ninety yards from where he had
lett the first man there was a gun fired. Witness did not know
Allison that night at all. He told the family at home what
had happened, and described to them •• Prooter" as one of the
men. A servant noticed that his hand was bleeding; it was
found to be scratched; aad the next morning, on going to the
spot where he had the struggle overnight, he found there was a
brier, by which the scratch, as he suppose t, was mane. His
neither ev..s on a visit to him some days after, and he showed
the spot to him, and had a conversation with him respecting
the occurrence. Did not go before the magistrates till the 23t1
of last June ; but on the lath of June was with Mr. Hoskins,
the magistrate, about this matter. On the 4th of June last
witness was at Cockermouth cattle-marke', and went with Mr.
Thomas Bird to the Ship Inn. While there, at about three
o'clock it. the afternoon, the prisoner Allison came in. Alli-
son asked witness if he knew him. Witness said he did not.
Allison then went on to say that he had once saved his
( witness's) life, and explained how. He said that en the
night referred to he and Wrigley were out poaching; that
thee saw him (witness) coming on the road from Cocker-
mouth, when Virigley said that he ( witness) had got 10W. ;
he bad seen hint get the 100/. that day ; and that if he (Alb-
sett ) would take the gun and shoot witness, they would divide
the money betwixt them. " Bu'," said Alliscn, " 1 rued—
I thought that Wrigley was that sort of man that if anything
was said about it he would inform, and I would either be hung
or transported " Allison added, " he's a bad 'en ; we got nine
hares that night, and he sold 'em, and tot,: me he never got
paid." Allison came into the house a second time that day,
and repeated the same story, except that in one case he said it
happened six months ago and in the other nine months. Wit-
ness was at Cockermouth fair on the 18th of June, and saw
Wrigley in the street. Went before Mr. Hoskins, the magis-
trate, on the 19th or 20th.
In answer to the question from Mr. Ramshay, why he had
not told sooner, the prosecutor said that " but one of the men
was known by him; that he thought it would be a great deal
of trouble to prosecute, and that he was much excited at see-
ing a man remaining in the town who had attempted his life,
and hired another elan to shoot him."
Mr. Wilkins appeared fur the defence of Wrigley, and Mr.
James for Allison.
The prosecutor, upon cross-examination, admitted that he
had at first told Mr. Hoskins that the occurrence was on the
23d of December ; but he found, after looking at his bank-
book, and a memorandum there, that he was wrong.
Other witnesses were called, who corroborated the evidence
of Mr. Bushby in certain particulars.
John Coulthard, gamekeeper to General Wyndham, had seen
the prosecutor ou the road on the night in question, and saw
two labouring men near the same spot.
John Robinson. landlord of the inn at Cockermouth, heard
the tale told by Allison as above repeated, and this witness was
confirmed again by Mr. Thomas Bird, the prosecutor's compa.
nion upon the occasion.
Thomas Barton, a blacksmith, said that Allison had come to
witness on the 7th of last September, and related a similar tale
to him. He came to get a lock mended. A memorandum of
the lock being mended was written in a book (now produced).
There was the date of the 7th of September apparent ; but so
written, that it was contended for the defence that there had
been an interpolation in making the memorandum. This wit-
ness said he had not mentiunetfthe matter earlier, because he
was a tenant under them (the family of the prisoner Allison),
and did not feel obliged to do it.
Mr. WILKINS and Mr. JAMES addressed the jury for their
several clients, and the prisoners were both acquitted.
His LORDSHIP refused to allow the expenses of the pro-
secutor.
CHARGE of MURDER.—Jane Crosby, against whom a bill
for murder was found at the las assizes, has been acquitted.
The trial lasted all to-day, and has finished but a few minutes
before post time.
It will be remembered that the charge against the prisoner
was that of burning her own daughter (a child of six years of
age) to death upon a fire.
The principal witness for the prosecution was another
. dahghter of the prisoner, a child of eleven. At the last assizes
Mr. Justice Coltman thought this child not then fit to be a wit-
nesr, from the ignorance she discovered touching the nature of
an oath ; and the 'cave Was accordinglr postponed in order that
she might receive instruction.

POLICE IN TELLIGENC E.
YESTF,HDAY.
MANSION-HOUSE.

A young men, of gentlemanlike appParince, named
Dawson Miles, wis brought before the Lord Mayor,
upon a charge of having krg,'d a cheque for 451 10,.
upon the banking-house of Sir Charles Price and Co.,
and a bill of exchange for 861., purporting to be drawn
in Jamaica.

Mr, nobler appeared for the banking-house.
Mr. Taylor, of the, honk of William Taylor and Co.,
of Crosby-square, Manchester agents, stated that he was
acqu;inted with the pri.;on, r, whose fathi-r, it appeared,
formerly banked at Sir Charles Price's. On the sth of
June the prisoner called upon him with a ticket in his
hand, apparently of a rot oritud bill, and asked for the
loan of 101, as the bill was his father's ; at the same
time depositing in his.hands a bill of exchange for 801.,
and also a cheque upon the above-mentioned banking-
house for 451. 10s., signed " Hy. Jackson," and dated
from the Foreign Office. The prisoner stated at the
same time that witness could pay ov, r to him the
51. 10s., when the cheque should he paid. Upon in-
quiry at Sir Charles Price's, it was found that no Hy.
Jackson kept money there. It also appeared that the
cheque had belonged to a book of printed forms, about
seven or eight years old, when the prisoner's father kept
cash at the firm.

Mr. Hobler asked whether application had been made
at the Foreign Office on the subject ?
Mr. Taylor said that he met with the greatest facilities
at the Foreign office, and soon ascertained that there
was no such person connected with the establishment as
Hy. Jackson.
The prisoner, who did not utter a word, was re-
mended.

John Smith was charged with having robbed his
master.

Edward Buckingham, City policeman (307), stated
that about eleven o'clock on Friday night, his attention
was called to a quarrel between the prisoner and the
conductor of an omnibus, near tbo European Tavern,
in Mansion House-street, where the prisoner had just
alighted. The prisoner refused to pay the fare de-
manded by the conductor, and at last produced a silver
cup, and offered to leave it in the hands of the con-
ductor as security for the payment of the money, and
witness suspecting that all WLS not right with the pri-
s trier, who was intoxicated, took him into cuttAly. In
the prisoner's possessitm was found a silver dish cover, a
5/. Bank of England note, a small silver image, . and
the key of a desk.
John Bradfield stated, that he was in the service of
Mr. Peter M'Evoy, of Winableton, and that the pri-
soner had been in the same service as butler about three
weeks, and the plate was in his care. On Friday last,T
at about six o'cl,ck, the • prisoner went away without
giving notice, and after he was gone the silver mug

and was committed for trial. •

MORE CUSTOM-HOUSE FRAUDS.
At the Thames Police-court yesterday, Mr. Hopper, clerk
to the Solicitor of Customs, accompanied by Mr. Cole, ColoP"
troller of Accounts in the Customs department of the London
Dock, came before Mr. Pallantine in great haste, for the pura
pose of obtaining a warrant to apprehend two persons, one s
merchant in the City, the other a clerk in the Custom-house'
fur conspiracy and fraud.
Mr. Hopper said, that it had just been discovered that the
Crown had been defrauded of duties to a considerable amount
by the connivance of a clerk, and the facts were shortly these'
—The duty was paid upon 104Ibs. of nutmegs at the Custom"
house by the owner and seller of the prcperty, and that quart,
a
tity only ought to have been delivered, but a warrant fur the
delivery of 1,1291b5. had been made out by the clerk, endue
Crown bad consequently Oren defrauded of the duty 'lc',
1,0251bs of nutmegs, amounting to 135/. 15s. He
t
brought with him Mr. Cole, the Comptroller of Accounts, a°
whose. department the clerk belonged ; the purchaser of the
nutmegs, who lend received from the vendor 1,1291 b).; and th-e,
clerk . who computed the duty at 10411 as The Solicitor
Customs had directed him to apply, in the first instance) 5
the Lord Mayor, anti he had done so; but his Lordship e°°,',
no: interfere, as the offence was committed out of his jurisdi!„
lion. He required a warrant that the parties might be fort.%
with apprehended and brought before his Worship on 'l'
cha•gtoof fraud and conspiracy. • 3600
Mr. Ballantine had no recollection of a similar apatite „a
having been made to him before. Assuming the facts a 5
by Mr. Hopper to be correct, a serious offence had beeo
nutted by a servant of the Crown, but he should like to be 1'"
in possession of more of the case before he interfered. b•a •
Mr. Hopper said there could be no doubt the parties eb
conspired togather, and he would explain the way in %Ila,
to) fraud had been committed. The merchant went to tea
long room of the Custom-house, and applied for a duty-P.t„
warrant for 1041b3. of nutmegs. The duty on that qual!'!`j
was computed by the clerk and paid, and the merchant receive'
a duty-paid warrant, which he took to the clerk in the C°sl
troller', accountoollice in the London Dock, and in the of apt
course of business he ought to have signed a delivery il'2"r".
for lU4lbo of nutmegs, but he made out one for 1,12911 a- f
Mr. Ballantine asked for the docuinents, and Mr. g°lllo
handed to him a memorandum written by the merchant t.
o-aner of the goods, requesting a duty-paid warrant for 10411;
of nutmegs, warehoused by Currie and Co , and from Brats
posessions, and also a delivery warrant, to which the dells'
quent clerk's signature was attached in red ink. It authorised
the delivery of I,la9tbs. of nutmegs.
Mr. Ballantine wished to know to whom the mernotso;
dum was delivered ? Mr. Hopper—The owner of the nutmegs
paid it to the collector in the long room, and he corept!ted
duties on 1041bs. of nutmegs, which was paid, and sigoo
duty-paid warrant.
Mr. Ballantine—Where is the duty-paid warrant? Alori
Hopper—That has been made away with, for the porinseate
carrying on this fraud. It cannot be found, but I have o 0
proper officer in attendarce to prove that the duty was paid
Walbs. of nutmegs only.
„anti
Mr. Ballantine—And who made out the delivery vvelea—,
Mr. Hopper—The clerk in the office of the comptro°,,at
6
accounts of whom I complain. On the receipt of the o'4
pail warrant, it was the duty of tilt clerk to have made '2° e
delivery warrant for 10411)s. of nutmegs, but he made out on,
for 1,1291b5. Mr. Hopper then submitted that it was fel°7
to defraud the Crown, and he asked for a warrant to seer
hend the parties forthwith, and there was prima facie evidE
against them of fraud and conspiracy.
Mr. Ballantine said the parties had prima fade corolobe
an indictlble offence, but the question was, had he any Veis
to interpose in the way now sought ? If a felony bat' to
committed, or if the Board of Customs intended to chariteso
parties with a felony, all the solicitor of Customs had to d°,l4
to order the parties into the custody of a police officer. lors
constable had the power of arresting a man for felony oil"
a Mr.
010
Hopper was aware of that, but the solicitor of etr„trtel
had instructed him to apply for a warrant, which he coov"-`:tae
the most regular course. There were other cases agio",,ae,
1 same parties, but it was only necessary to proceed upon ;me
1 Ile held in his hand a delivery warrant, signed by the sts
clerk. for the delivery of upwards of 3,0001b5. of pepper' an
the London Dock. The pepper belonged to the person s' of
owned the nutmegs. The difference between the quart std
pepper delivered and that on which the duty had been Po
was 2,0001b5. Mr. Hopper was about to hand the decal
connected with this fraud to the magistrate, when
,tee
Mr. Ballantine said he would first dispose of the net-,
ie
and that ease was bad enough. Had Mr. Hopper any cusp'
attendance attendance to prove the hanowriting of the clerk P Mr.
Fer—YesMr. Cole can do that. 1405
Mr. Ballantine—You can recover the duties, and "-
penalties too, in the Court of Exchequer.
Mr. Hopper—Yes, Sir ; but we wish the parties to 1°
their appearance its a Criminal Court. •t 11111
Mr. Ballantine observed, that in cases of conspiracy
been the practice to go before the grand jury, and indict, rot
if a true bill was found, to obtain a bench warrant, and ar the
the parties. Whether this was a case of fraud orwe.rderei

and said before he discussed the matter further he shah; or
