(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)
G'horrles Dyer was indicted for realibiously wounding
John Organ with a hatchet, with intent to kill and mur-
der him.
Mr. Prideaux conducted the case f r 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.
acted in self-defence, and suggcstea at the jury we e
Mr. STONE then contended that the prisoner had oriy
secure the prisoner punishment by finding him o'
a common assault.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON said, that it was not a case of
common assault. If the prisoner hoe. only acted in
defence, and had not done more then was requisite, 1-
would acquit him altogether. He was very sorry -; • '
the Legislature had introduced such a power, bees'.:
enabled juries, as it were, to leglilat9. It was, in -
opinion, a very dangerous thing.
The jury found the prisoner G eley.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON said, he disapproved of a mast: r
striking an apprentice ; at the same time, the prisoner
had been guilty of great misconduct in abusing his
master. The sentence of the Court wes 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
Mr. 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 struek 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 eases
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. He looked to see the calls© of it, stna
observed three men lying under g hedge. ue asked
what they were doing. One of
that 01°-. " What is
to you ?

He overtook them, and Porch collared him
The 7.'-osecutor followed them to see who
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
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-
secuter said he knew hire well, because they had worked
together on the tread-wheel in the goal.
-thy the JUDGE—I was in prison for pulling out the
tongue of a mule. I was not tried in a Court. I
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 ? fee
I don't know under what law it was,
Freeman swore that he 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 conviction of all the pri
sellers in Wiltshire.
The prisoners were then sentenced to 15 years,' trans-
portation.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE,
NORTHERN CIRCUIT;—,Yark, Dec. 11.
(Before Mr, Justice COLERIDGE.)
A man, named William Makin, aged 29, was charged
with having, on the sth of October last, at Lockwood,
near Huddersfield, in the West Riding, feloniously and
violently assaulted Mary Ann Artnytege, and commit-
ting a rape upon her person.
Mr, Vatihley and Mr. Monteith prosecuted, and the
prisoner was undefended.

The prisoner is a married man, residing at Crossland-
moor, in the parish of Lockwood. The prosecutrix is a
mill girl, la years of age, and—like too many, we fear,
of her class—did not appear to possess much of the cota-
modity called modesty. In the witness-box she gave her
evidence with the most unblushing impudence, though
she ascribed as a reason for not immediately informiu:
any one of what she alleged had been done to her, that
she " dursn't do it for shame," The prosecutrix lodged
with the prisoner, and before his marriage she had lived
with his wife, who at that time had two bastard chil-
dren. The prosecutrix slept in the same bed with an
old woman and a boy, and in the same room slept the
prisoner, his wife, and another boy. It was urged for
the prosecution, that in the absence of all from the house
but the prosecutrix the prisoner effected his purpose,
and if her evidence, when exatnioed by her own counsel,
was to be believed, much against her own desire. llis
Lordship, however, who had the depositions before him,
put several questions to her, in answering which she
committed herself in a variety of ways, contradicting
statement after statement almost as soon as ehe had
made it. It appeared that criminal connexion bad taken
place between them, but that it was in opposition to the
girl's desire appeared very doubtful indeed.
Mr. Justice COLERIDOR summed up, and presented the
case to the jury somewhat in the manner we have de-
scribed it.

The jury retired, however, to consider their verdict,
and, after an absence of three minutes, Acquitted the
prisoner.

In this case the law was so clearly laid down by his
Lordship, that surely there was no necessity for the jury
to retire. As it is customary, however (that the cases
may not be delayed), to swear in another jury imme-
diately upon the retirement of the preceding case, these
Yorkshire juries, after sitting for about two hours, get
tired, and when the case concludes they beg to retire,
that they may escape for a time the duties which they
are called upon to bear. It generally happens that nut
a minute elapses between the swearing in of the new jury
and the return of the others, and in the case above re-
ported they positively returned before the whole of the
ceremony of installing the new jury was concluded. This
practice hinders to such a degree the business of the
assizes, already so long protracted, and is so notorious to
every one here, that we have deemed it our duty briefly
to refer to it.

OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Stafford, 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 circu; t.
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 w• 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 Learned Judge attended
Christ Church, in the north suburbs of Stafford, the line
old parish church of St. Mary's being still under repair,
escorted by the High Sheriff (Mr. Ralph Snoyd) and ti e
municipal authorities of the 'borough, where a very ex-
cellent sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Suteliir,
the sheriff's chaplain, after which his Lordship 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 e ith
which he is affected.

John Kendrew, who was yesterday acquitted on an in-
dictment charging him with feloniously harbouring, aid-
ing, and assisting his brother, William Kendrew, well
knowing him to have been guilty of a felony in wilfully
murdering one Mr. Inchbald (as reported yesterday),
was to-day placed upon his trial, charged with stealing,
on the 29th of September last, at Boroughbridge, one
pistol, the property of Ann Glenton.
Mr, Wilkins and Mr, Overend prosecuted the prisoner,
who, himself, was undefended.
The prisoner had lodged in the same house with the
prosecutrix, and the case was connected in a great mea•
sure with that reported yesterday, the pistol having
been stolen just prior to starting from Boroughbridge
with his brother William for Newcastle, where it was
pawned. The prisoner was not actually seen to talo
the pistol ; but he was proved to have known where It
used to be kept—to have said soon after the pistol had
been missed that he had a pistol then, when he was never
known to have had one before, and to have pawned it at
Newcastle. The duplicate also was found upon him 1
the pistol was clearly identised, and on tieing appre-
hended he gave false names. Altogether there could be
no doubt on the face of the evidence that the prisoner
had been guilty of the felony with which he was Uharggd.
Mr, Justice (3oLNitinsux summed up, and
The jury, without hesitation, found the pricer
Guilty.—To be transported for seven years.

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 kim
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 disturban.'e,
to maintain a protracted fight, in which the assailants
were ultimately defeated. About two hours after the
cessation of this conflict, as the prosecutor and his cum.
panie,ns were 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 consecieuenee of Whitfield's inability to appear
as a witnesit.

From the evidence of the surge,:n, it appeared that the
skull of the prosecutor had been fractured by the blow,
but that no rupture of the cuticle had taken place,
whereupon

Mr. Justice COLTMAN intimated that the charge of
felony could not be supported.
The prisoner was convicted of :Assault, and in coa-
sideration of his previous impris..2.:Lent was sentenced
only to four months' hard labour.
Abraham Sharratt, aged 23, and John Pickering, t.,;TA
26, two resolute and formidable-looking fellows, were
charged with a burglary in the heads of Edith Bourne,
at Elford, on the 20th of September, and with stealing a
variety of articles therein. •

•
Mr. Motayard conducted the posecution, and
prisoners defended themselves.

- On the night of Friday, the 26th of September, the
dwelling-house of the prosecutrix, a maiden lady of re-
spectability, residing in the vicinity of Tamworth,
made secure lay the servants, who retired to rest et
about ten o'clock. In the morr..:ng 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 forced out. On the Monday follow-
ing the two prisoners were arrested by a constable on
the banks of the canal between Tamworth and Birmirg•-
ham, with a variety of articles stolen from the horse of
Miss Bourne on the person of each.
The witnesses were subjected to very long and imper-
tinent cross-examinstip.ns from the prisoner Sharratt,
who conducted himself throughout the trial with an un-
paralleled effrontery, and evidently allowed hiru3eli to be
no novice in the proceedings of a eriminal court.
They were found and a previous conviction

lIIIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Derby, Dcc. tl.
(Before Mr. Justice PATTESJN.
THE GLOSSOP BURGLARIES.
This morning the family of The Swans, who. for some
time past have been the terror of the northern 'part of
this county, were placed at the bar charged with burg-
lary, or otherwise receiving property knowing it to hare
been stolen. The names of the prisoners were John
Swan, the elder, Peggy Swan (father a ed mother), James
Swan, George Swan, Samuel Seen, and John Swan
(brothers), and Robert Hartley and Mary Ann Hartley
(sister and brother-in-law). The indictment charged
James Swan, George Swan, and Semuel Swan, with
having, on the 14th of July last, burgiariously broken
into the dwelling-house of Mr. Joseph Bennett, of Ash-
ingclough, in the parish of Glosesp, and tolen thereout
a silver plated tankard, half-a-dozen knives and fieSsm,
one ring, a five-shilling coin of the reign of Charles IL,
and various articles of wearing apparel. John Swat:,
the elder, Peggy Swan, John Swan the younger, aunt
Robert and Mary Ann Hartley, were charged with
having received the same articles, knowing them to have
been stolen.
Mr. Wildman and Mr. Macaulay conducted the pro
secution, and Mr. Wilmore defended the prisoners Jelin
Swan the elder, Samuel Swan, Peggy Swan, and the
Hartleys. As the trial lasted from eleven in the morn-
ing until seven in the evening, a detailed report is out
of the question, and a mere narrative must suffice.
The prosecutor, Mr. Bennett, is a respectable farmer
residing with his wife and daughter, a young lady about
eighteen or nineteen years of age, at Ashingclough, in
Glossop, jut at the point where the counties of York,
Lancaster, Chester, and Derby form a junction. Within
a short period a son lived with his parents in the house,
but in consequence of marriage, although he still assists
in his father's business, young Bennett sleeps on the
Saturdcy and Sunday nights at Hayfield, a village some
distance from his father's premises. In addition to car-
rying on the business of a farmer, Mr Bennett, who is
nntierstood to be a person of independent income, is the •
collector of the property-tax ; and it eras thought that on
the night his house was broken into he was in possession
e very large sum of money. His house is situated in
o-:e, of those woody, secluded dells, which are so cha-
en-ristic of the scenery of North Derbyshire and the
"Test Mang of Yorkshire. About one o'clock on the
---ee:eg of Monday, the 15th of July, the prosecutor was
-see by a noise on the stairs sad the bursting in of
..;ed room door. Three men with their faces black-
a' entered the room and demanded his money, or if
= :refused the death of himself and his family 'end the
burning of the house would be the consequence. Tne
ion uders next demanded a candle. Although their faeett
were blackened, Mr. Bennett to-day swore positive'y re
could, notwithstanding, identify the features of the pri-
soners James Swan, George Swan, and Samuel Swan.
Mrs. Bennett told the men that the candles were in the
cellar, when James and Samuel went down stairs, and
George remained armed with a sword and pistol, as a
guard over the prosecutor and his wife.. The two pri-
soners James and Samuel afterwards returned, anti Cosa.
pelted Mr. Bennett to leave his bed and furnish },em
with a taper. During this time, Miss Bennet:, who
slept in a higher story of the house, became alarmed,
and, descending to her father's bed-room, saw the pri-
soners proceed to ransack the house. Her first excla-
mation was, " Don't murder my father and mother I"
The father, at the same time, interceded for the safety
of his daughter, when the prisoner George said (ad.
dressing Miss Bennett), " Curse your eyes I if you dee&
hold your noise I'll blow your brains out," The Nieves
then. allowed Miss Bennett, who was in her nit dress,
to get into the bed of her father and met:tier. James
was armed with a bludgeon, and had is his hand when
he first entered the room a lighted caper. Samuel had a
poker and George, as before stated, had a pistol and a,
sword. They remained in the house upwards of an hour,
and carried off with them the verities articles already
enumerated. The evidence connecting the three pee.
soners charged with the burglary with its corms-Ilse-Lon,
and corroborative of Mr. Bennett's statement, ire 'briefly
as follows :—The previous night the prisoners, who re-
side at Staleybridge, in Lancashire, 4 tPeitance of four-
teen miles--Ashingclough being 'within two miles of
Chapel-en-le-Frith—called at a beer-shop at Hayfield,
and went from there together in the direction of Me.
Bennett's house. The next morning they were traced
all the way, at several and consistent hours, from.
Ashingelough, through Hayfield, Charlesworth, and
Mottram, carrying bundles, to Staleybridge, where
they arrived shortly before six o'clock. The old man
(the father), John Swan, formerly kept a beer-sh,,ps
and immediately adjoining the house in which he lived at
Staleybridge is an unoccupied cotton-mill. From t!se
evidence it would hate appeared, had it not been for a
mistake made by James Swan in his cross -exareination
of a witness, that the mill was in such a state of dilapi-
datioc, that any person at all hours might have had.
retitly access to it. The fact, however, proved to be
otherwise, The mill is surrounded by a wall, and the
keys, as tenant of his house and the entire premises, were
in the possession of James Swan the elder. In this mill
were found concealed, not only a considerable quantity
of the property stolen from Mr. Bennett, but the pro-
, oeeds of various other robberies committed in the neigh.
bourhood. The discovery of the robbery as affecting
the prisoners was not a little singular. It appeared that
eight days after the robbery at Mr. Bennett s, and when
the whole county was excited upon the subject, a Mr.
Glossop, a draper, of Ashton-under-Lyne, was at Staley-.
bridge, and accidentally saw a shawl which had been
pawned by Peggy Swan, a daughter (aged 14) of the
prisoner John Swan the elder, on the previous Friday.
Glossop, being a relation of Mr. Bennett, inmita-
dietely identified the shawl, and the mine which
ultimately involved the whole of the prisoners
ice ies explosion was immediately sprung. On search-
lug the premises of John Swan the elder, and with
hom James, John, George, and Samuel lived, there
were found a loaded pistol, a number of bullets, a (luau-
tity of skeleton keys, a dark lantern, and a Plated
silver tankard, beaten to pieces, and thrown into a
"swill-tub." In fact, a variety of artieles were concealed
in the house or the mill at its rear, and all of weich
were either identified by Mr. Bennett or his &mile;
or proved to be the produce of other burglaries. Per-
imps the most distressing incident in to-day's proceed-
ings was the calling of young Peggy iwan, the daughter
of John and old Peggy, and the sister of the other pri-
eonees. The unhappy girl, who wept bitterly, deposed
b her having been sent by her father and mothcr to
pawn various articles now identified by Mr. and Miss
Bennett as property stolen from Ashingclough on the
night the robbery was committed. After completing the
search of Swan's house, the officers proceeded to that of
Hartley, who married a daughter of the elder Swan,
where they found the sword (identified by Mr. Bennett
as one ii the hand of George Swan), a blue dress, s
black silk cloak, and various other articles, which Hart-
ley said were his property. The evidence, however, as
to the guilty knowledge of the male prisoner Hart:ey
was very weak, whilst as against his wife, Mary Ann, it
was clear and indubitable. She was found in possession
of the knives and forks stolen from Mr. Bennett, and
also a ring, upon which were engraved the words--" Re-
member the giver." Hartley, although there was another
indictment against him for burglary, seems to have beers
the victim of his unfortunate family connexions. He
bore an excellent character from his employers, and, had
it not been for his wretched brothers-in-law, would in all
probability have passed through life as a respectable man..
Mr. Justice Parrusos, in summing up the case, re-
marked that he did not think the evidence naaterielly
affected John Swan the younger and Robert Hertley.
it was true that John the younger was found in, posses.
sion of some of the articles of property taken from Mr.
Bennett's, and also that other articles were foUnd in the
possession of Hartley ; at least, they were found in his
house. Still he did not think there was very cogent
proof of guilty knowledge against those prisoners. The
Learned Judge went at great length through the wools
of the evidence, and concluded by expressing his convic-
tion that the jury, who had paid such minute attention
to the case, were fully competent to draw a correct dis-
tinction between the evidence as it affected each prisoner.
The jury consulted together for a few moments, and
then returned the following verdict :—Jarnee Swan,
George Swan, Samuel Swan, John Swan. the elder,
Peggy Swan, and Mary Ann Hartley are Guilty; Robert
Hartley and John Swan the younger are Not Guilty.
Mr. Justice PATTESON proceeded to pass sentence.
The prisoners had been convicted of a very fearful of-
fence, an offence for which only a few years ago they
would have forfeited their lives. There was in his opi-
nion sufficient evidence to show that the attack upon Mr.
Bennett's house was premeditated ; and he (Mr. Justice
Patteson) was of opinion, armed as the three prisoners
were, if resistance had taken place murder would have
been committed. It was, indeed, a most melancholy
spectacle to see a father and mother bringing up chil-
dren in the way in which they had brought up the pri-
soners now charged and convicted of the burglary. In
all probability had those young men been differently in-
structed they would have avoided their present disgrace
and the severe punishment about to be awarded to them.
It was, however, he (Mr. Justice Patteson) believed, of
no use talking to any of the prisoners of the enormity
of the offence which they had committed. The aen-
teem of the Court was, that James Swan, George Swan,
and Samuel Swan, be transported for the period of their
natural lives; that John Swan, the :elder, and Peggy
Swan (the father and mother), be transported for 10
years; and that Mary Ann Hartley be imprisoned and
kept to hard labour for 12 calendar months.
The case of Gallimore, a surgeon at Chesteraeld,
charged with manslaughter, is fixed for to-morrow •
morning.
