SURREY ASSIZES.-(THIS DAY.)

HOME CIRCUIT.—CROYDON.
(Before Mr. Justice GAsimex.)
The prisoner, Mary Brooks, who was yesterday con-
victed of the murder of her female child, was in a frantic
state for some time after leaving the dock. The
intimation that she would be confined for life ap-
peared almost to deprive her of her senses. She
was, however, in some measure, consoled with the as-
surance of her husband and friends, that they would, as
early as possible, endeavour to get her again into the care
of her family, by giving security for keeping her in
safe custody. She appears to have led a life of mis-
fortune. She 'was some years ago, the subject of
a crim. con. action, brought by her husband._
She is the mother of eight children, who are all dead ; one
of them was the result of an illicit acquaintance. A great
unhappiness has existed between her husband and herself,
which doubtless led to the fatal act. Since her trial, her
conversation has been perfectly consistent, and exhibited a
warmth of feeling and intellect, perfectly irreconcilable to
the commission of murder. She still wonders at her own
act, saying that she meant only to destroy herself.
James Billings, 19. 117016 Woodharn, 26, and Mary
Shirley, 21, were indicted, the first for hurglariously
stealing from the house of Daniel Carter, at Battersea, two
silk scarfs, and a pelisse, in May last, and the two females
for receiving the same, knowing them to be stolen.
The Jury found that Billings was guilty of stealing in
a dwelling-house to the amount of 405., and acquitted the
two female.. .

Mr. Justice Gasmrs sentenced the prisoner to seven
years' transportation.
William Stephens was indicted for stealing a mare,
value 5/. 10s. on the 21st of May last, the property of
James Fuller.—Verdict, Guilty.
The Learned Junag observed that on the first evidence
he should have had little doubt that he had been brought
into it by others ; but by endeavouring to prove an alibi,
he had added perjury to his other offence.
Sentence of death was recorded against him.
_ _ . _

noizel Oclee was indicted for robbing James Hurley on
the King's highway, putting him in fear, and stealing from
his person six sovereigns and some silver.
The Jury then returned a verdict of " Not Guilty."

STAG HUNT ON THE LAKE OF KILLAR-
NEY, ON SATURDAY LAST.

(Extract of a Letter.)

The weather has been excessively wet here since
last I wrote you. Friday was so very much so, that
the hunt was postponed until yesterday, which was
also very unfavourable.
However, (as Mr. Wilmot Horton must leave here
on Monday for London) Lord Kenmara and . his
distinguished visitors, attended by several other
parties, set off from Ross about twelve o'clock.
The passage through the Old Weir Bridge was
highly interesting, as the utmost efforts of the
several boats' crews were necessarily exerted to
haul the boats up against the current. This ob-
stacle being speedily overcome, and all the boats
being properly arranged, Mr. O'Connell gave the
signal, by firing a gun from his fine barge " the
Erin." In a short time the cry of the hounds was
heard reverberated by a thousand echoes, and soon
.a noble stag made his appearance, bounding along
the sides of the lofty mountains, at the long range,
followed by the dogs in full cry ; the scene for two
or three hours after this exceeds all description; at
times a view would be got of the pack dashing into
or from a deep cover; now ascending the steep de-
clivity of the mountain, then for a moment a view
of the stag; again he would be hid among the glens
and lofty trees, the pack also hidden from our sight,
hut their sweet music always heard echoed and re-
echoed, until the stag at length, anxious to refresh
himself, took to the soil, and crossed the upper lake,
near Coleman's Eye, and crossed to Cromeglaun.
Being headed here, he iv-escaped to the long
range, and having come on a hind in lair, he prac-
tised a stratagem very usual with these animals,
drove the hind out before the hounds, and escaped;
the hind was,shortly hunted down to the Boil, and
!ming taken, was brought to Lady Kenmare's barge,
who ordered her to be again set at liberty, and being
enlarged, swam to the shore and ascended her
native mountains, amidst the cheers of the
spectators, who were all highly delighted. I
was most happy to perceive the hunt seemed to
afford the greatest gratification to Mr. W. Horton,
and the distinguished party in the boat with Lady
and Lord Kenmare, amongst whom I recognized our
talented and highly esteemed Representative the
Knight of Kerry, and his son.—As Mrs. W. Horton,
Mr. T. Horton, &c. remain here for some time. I

understand it is Mr. O'Connell's intention to have
another hunt the latter part of this week, or early
next. Mr. W. Horton expressed in very animated
terms to Mr. O'Connell, his high admiration and
delight of the hunt and scenery.—Cork Chronicle.
