WINTER ASSIZES.

HOME CIRCUIT.—KINGSTON, DEC. 13.
Thomas Lucas and Edward Simmonds were in-
dicted for being found armed for the destruction of
game in the enclosed grounds of Mr. Ball Hughes,
in the parish of Walton-upon-Thames, between the
hours of one and two in the morning of the Sth of
October " Guilty."—six months' imprisonment
and hard labour.
Win. Yates, otherwise Daniel Frederick Jones,
was indicted for obtaining from George Charles
Pratt, commonly called the Earl of Brecknock, the
sum of two pounds, by false pretences.
The particulars of the case have been already stated
in our police reports. The defendant was found
sGuilty."
He was then tried on another charge of having
obtained a cheque for 2). from Colonel Wood, M.P.
by false pretences, similar to those on which the last
indictment was founded.

On this occasion, the defendant made use of his
success with Lord Brecknock, as a recommendation
of his request to Colonel Wood. He enclosed a
petition from the supposed Mrs. Williams, written,
confidentially as the Vice-Treasurer of the Society of
Ancient Britons, and after more than one epistle,
prevailed on Colonel Wood to forward the cheque.
The defendant was found Guilty.
Mr. :Justice PARK sentenced the defendant to
seven years' transportation for the first offence, and
to the same time for the second, to commence at
the expiration of the first seven years. The latter
part of the sentence will, of course, depend on the
decision of t4e point of law which is to be submitted
to the Judges. The defendant, it is understood, has
succeeded to a great extent in his impositions on the
credulity of mankind.

vulgar word, and to show her gentility, asked the shopman

A craniologist once dined in company with a
gentleman who was too much addicted to sacrifice to the
jolly god. The philosopher, who never lost an opportunity
to prosecute his favourite science, studied the toper's head
with great attention. The gentleman left the room, when
the craniologist took occasion to observe to the wife of the
bacchanalian—" Ah, madam, what a fine musician your
husband is. I never saw the organ of music so fully de-
veloped." "Indeed, Sir," said the lady, " I don't know
what organ he may have, but if he have any, I am sure it's
a barrel organ."—Brighton Gazette.

In the Insolvent Debtors' Court yesterday,
the Rev. NATHANIEL PARKER FORTH made application
for his discharge. It appeared that the insolvent was on
a former occasion discharged by this Court, when the
amount of his debts was 17,000/. Since that time he had
been over to France, and recovered some property of which
he had been deprived at the time of the Revolution, and
upon his return to England, he paid the 17,0001. due to
his creditors, with 111- per cent. interest, and removed his
petition from the files of the Court. Considering, how-
ever, that he was entitled to more property, he again went
over to France, but was unsuccessful, in consequence of the
interference of, the Duke of ORLEANS, anti having incurred
heavy elpences, he was agai n obliged to apply for relief to
the Court, and was discharged.
