MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)

Samnel Ogden, a powerful Man, about twenty-five
years of age, was brought up on a charge of assault.
Daniel Ormond, 15, Beaumont-buildings, Maryle-
bone, was returning home from a friend's this morning
about one o'clock, when he heard a female scream
" Murder," and hurrying to the place saw prisoner
strike a girl and kick her. He (witness) interfered,
and received two violent blows on the face, he there-
fore run for a policeman, with whose assistance pri.;.
soner was secured, but not without offering a great
deal of resistance.

Sarah Allen stated that while she and another girl,
Sarah Wilson, were hurrying along the street, pri-
soner came up and assaulted them in an indecent
manner; they resisted and screamed out, when with
his clenched fist he struck witness on the head, knock-
ing her down. Her screams at last brought the pre-
ceding witness and a policeman, when the prisoner
was secured.

Mr. RAWLINSON fined him 40s. for each assault, or
six weeks in the House of Correction.

UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
THE LATE CONSPIRACY AT BRISTOL.
The Court was very much crowded this morning,
in consequence of its being the day appointed for the
examination of Ann Bryers and Mary Ann Morgan,
the two young females who have rendered themselves
so notorious in the late matrimonial hoax, successfully
practised on Mr. Woolley, the Bristol timber-merchant.
In the course of the morning it was intimated that
Mr. Woolley did not intend to be present to proceed
any farther against the accused parties, and this was
borne out by the fact that he had already commenced
proceedings against Mary Ann Morgan in the Eccle-
siastical Court to obtain a divorce, that person having
been served with a citation from Doctors' Commons
while in gaol, the preceding day. One o'clock being
the appointed time for the investigation, at that hour
the prisoners were brought from the county jail in a
hackney coach, by Mr. Keane, the Governor, and
placed at the bar. _ _ _

Mr. Woolley's name having. been thrice called, and
no answer being returned, the Magistrate discharged
the prisoners.
- Lyndsay Crawford, the claimant to the Crawford
Peerage, was brought up, charged with returning from
transportation before the expiration of his sentence.
A constable from Londonderry, where the prisoner
was tried and convicted of horsestealing, having pro-
duced evidence to that effect, the prisoner was sent
off to Ireland, in the custody of the officer who
brought him up.

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Joseph Catchpole, a young man, of respectable ap-
pearance, was charged with having been found drunk
in the streets.

Police-constable 20 N, stated that at about four
o'clock this morning he found the defendant lying on
the road in Kingsland. lle aroused him, when de-
fendant stated that he had been robbed of his watch
and of four sovereigns. The guard of his watch was
broken, and had evidently been forced.
The defendant, who, it appears, kept a draper's
shop, stated that he had no recollection how he had
lost his property. He had driven in a cab to a public
house at about twelve o'clock at night, he beimg at
the time intoxicated, and had no recollection of what
had happened after, until found by the constable.
Inspector Pritchard stated that the police had dis-
covered that a number of persons had I een drinking
in the public-house in question at as late an hour as
three o'clock in ,the morning; and the =ter was
about to be brought before the Commissioners.
The Magistrate, under those circumstances, de•
dined to call the publican in evidence.
The defendant was fined 55., and discharged.

We are authorised to contradict the statements
made in several papers in regard to the magnificent
Highland brooch worn by the Queen at Taymouth.
It was, as we formerly stated, submitted for her Ma-
jesty's inspection by the Hon. Mrs. Malik, and pur-

fying their approbation of his conduct during the

qualification for turnkey, gaoler, or inspector of police.
HANOVER.—The Government charged some time
back the Director-General of Indirect Taxes to draw
up a paper on the propriety and necessity of Hanover
.joining the German Customs' Union. This document has
just been printed, but only a few copies have been distri-
buted to the Ministers and public functionaries. It
extends to forty pages quarto. The author• declares
in favour of the accession, but without concealing the
disadvantages which the measure would produce.—

TIIE Itor AL MINT.—The employes at the Mint
are daily at work in striking the new coinage both
in gold and silver, in order to meet the demand that
will be made upon the Batik of England for bullion in
the course of the payment of the forthcoming October
dividends, which commence to-morrow, the 13th inst.
The average quantity of specie struck at the Mint
since the light gold panic has been 300,0001. per
1 week. The Bank has received no less a sum than
6,500,000/. sterling in light sovereigns and half-
sovereigns since the Royal proclamation. In con-
sequence of the demand for bullion, the new half-
: farthing coinage cannot be issued from the Mint until
the commencement of 1843.
THE LONDON COFFEE AND EATING HOUSE-
KEEPERS' ASSOCIATION.—Last evening the Grecian
Saloon was engaged for a benefit, in aid of the fund
of the above excellent institution:. The pieces selected
for the occasion were Auber's favourite opera of Fra
Diavolo and Don Juan, in addition to which there
was a grand ball, at which dancing was kept up with
great spirit until a late hour.

ARRIVAL OF FOREIGN oXEN AT LIVERPOOL.—
The first foreign oxen ever on sale in Liverpool were
shown yesterday week, at the Old Swan Market.
There were only seven of them, and they were very
poor in quality. They formed part of a lot of Dutch
oxen imported into Hull, and had, therefore, been
brought across the island either by land carriage or
ion foot, which certainly can never pay with such poor
cattle,—Liverpool Times of yesterday.

BURNING OF THE REV. MR. AITKEN'S

STAFFORD, TUESDAY.—At the time my despatch
was forwarded yesterday, the Solicitor-General had
not concluded his reply upon the evidence. Upon
the conclusion of his remarks the Court adjourned for
ten minutes, to enable' the Jurors to obtain some re-
freshment. On the re-assembling of the Court,
The CHIEF JUSTICE, in his usual clear and per3pi-
cuous manner, summed up the evidence; and after a
powerful address, which occupied nearly five hours,
the Learned Judge left the case to the Jury for their
deci3ion.

The Jury asked leave to retire for a few minutes,
and, at the expiration of about ten minutes, returned
into Court with their verdict, which was read over by
the Clerk of the Arraigns as follows :—" Elijah
Simpson, John Owen, and Thomas Murray, guilty;
George Kelsall, Philip Deah, and William Spode, not
' guilty • Henry Howard, William Ellis, A. ood,
Elijah Clay, John Cunliff, Joseph Green, Richard
Croxton, John Rathbone, William Turner, Thomas
Roberts, Wm. Fearne, and Geo. Colclough, guilty."
The prisoner Ellis burst into 'tears on the verdict
being announced.
They were then ordered to be removed, and the
Court adjourned at seven o'clock till the following
morning.
(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.)
Thomas Rowley, John Rowley, Thomas Smith,
Mark Baugh, and Cornelius Hichen, charged with
riotous assembly and riot, who were reported
yesterday in The Sun as 'having' 'been found
Guilty, were addressed by the Learned Judge, who,
for their offence at once sentenced them to be trans-
ported for the term of their natural lives.
Charles Lee was indicted for a riot at Mr. John-
ston's pit at Bilston, and by intimidation inducing the
men to leave off work.

The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was
sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard
labour.—The Court then adjourned.
(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.)

Joseph Linney, aged 33, a man who appeared
Trucja superior to the general class of his co-prisoners,
and Michael Byrne, were arraigned for an unlawful
assembly, riot, and assault, in the parish of Kings-
winford. Mr. Sergeant Ludlow and Mr. Godson pro-
secuted; Mr. Neale defended Linney, and Mr.
Spooner appeared for Byrne.
Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW stated the case. He alluded
toLinney, as an itinerant orator, who went about from
place to place, biassing the minds of the people.
Mr. Reuben Plant, a coalmaster living at Goose-
tray-bank, near Brockmore-green, close to Dudley,
examined by Mr. GODSON—On the 3d August there
was a meeting, which was attended by Linney, who
said that he expected to meet hundreds, but that he
was happy to see thousands. There were thousands
present.
He addressed them as follows :—" Coun-
trymen, brothers, Chartists, and oppressed colliers."
He bid them stick out, and said his interest was
theirs. If they would stand out they should have
their wages and all they - wanted. The masters
in this county were calling out for protection,
and why ? Because they knew that the poor
were a starving people, and a starving people were
a rebellious people. The masters said " they can do
without you, but if you stand and be ruled by one,
we will show them whether they can do without you.
We will put them in a ship and shove them off, and
and tell them that we can do without them."
The mob shouted. He then said "we will di-
vide the land, and live upon it as ours."—(Lin-
ney here laughed.) He was from Bilston, but wit-
ness did not know his trade. The mob consisted of
colliers. The men worked until the 3d of August,
the day of Linney's speech. After that they
ceased working. The crowd was determined, and
cursing their masters and oppressors.—(Linney here
burst out crying.)
William Price examined—He was assistant-con-
stable at Kingswinford on the 27th of August. There
was a meeting on that day at Brockmore-green. He
saw Linney there at the rear of the Cross Keys, be-
tween six and seven, p.m., addressing 900 persons. He
said that " he knew he would be taken, and that he
might as well be taken there as anywhere else."
Mr. Whittaker, special constable, corroborated the
last witness's evidence. On the night of the 27th of
August, a woman said to Linney, " I heard that you
were lost--that you were in prison." He replied,
"No, I am come here to-night to he taken."
Griffith, special constable, saw the prisoner, Linney,
at a meeting, at the Pit-bank, on the night of the 27th
of August. Price was there. He heard Linney say
that if they stuck out for four days longer they would
have their wages. He said that they would be there
on Wednesday if he could keep up the " ruffles."
Witness did not know what " ruffles" meant.

James Smith, Sergeant-Major of the Emley troop
of cavalry, was on duty on the 27th of August, at
Brockmore. There were 500 persons present. He
saw the prisoner Byrne throwing a stone at the
cavalry. 'Witness told prisoner that if he threw an-
other stone he would shoot him. The prisoner jeered
and laughed at him.
Thomas Beddows—Saw Byrne throw a stone at the
soldiers.

Verdict, Guilty of an unlawful assembly, against
both prisonere.

EDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12, 1e42.

TUESDAY.—(Before Sir N. TINDAL.)
SENTENCES. ON THE PRISONERS.

At the sitting 'of the Couti7thiS morning the 26
prisoners found guilty of the attack on and demolition
of the Rev. Dr. Vale's house, were placed at the bar,
and having been called upon by the clerk' .of arraigns
in the usual way, to know whether they had anything
to say why sentence should not be passed upon them
according to law—all the prisoners answered in the
negative.
The Learned JUDGE said the verdict of an intelli-
gent, patient, and upright Jury had decided that
they were guilty of the offence charged against them,
of riotously and tumultously assembling and demo-
lishing the dwelling-house of the Rev. Dr. Vale. It
was :fearful offence of which they had been found
guilty. For an offence like theirs, depriving everyone
within their reach of the protection of the laws, and
robbing them of all the comforts and hap-
piness of social life, a punishment propor-
tionately severe must be inflicted. Happily
for the prisoners, he was saved the pain of passing
sentence upon them for a capital offence, and, as there
was some doubt, from the wording of the Act, whether
he could pass sentence of transportation for life,
which some of the cases seemed amply to deserve,
looking as carefully and anxiously as be was able at
the circumstances of each particular case, he would
endeavour to distinguish between those who were
present when the house was set on fire, or actively en-
gaged in feeding the flames, or endeavouring to pre-
vent their extinguishment, and the others who were
not perhaps so actively engaged. Bearing th6e ob-
jects in view, the sentence he should pass upon John
Raines, Richard Wright, George Colclough, John
Williams, Joseph Whiston, Cotton, and William
Cartlidge was, that they be transported for twenty-
one years ; that Jervase Phillips be transported for
fifteen years ; that Thomas 'Wagstaff, Jos. Saunders,
Samuel Whitehouse, Joshua Gilbert, Bankes, and
Edward Smith, be transported for ten years ; that
Wm. Shaw, Wm. Bradbury, John Owen, John
Powell, Dimmock, Tort, and Hurst, be imprisoned
for twelve months, with hard labour; that James
Millington, Samuel Eaton, and Richard Edge, be im-
prisoned for four months, with hard labour; and that
James Hurst, who, from his extreme youth, he hoped
had been unconsciously led into it, be imprisoned for
two months, with hard labour. He should pass no
sentence upon James Saunders, because he had been
since tried before his brother Parke, who would pass
sentence upon him.
The prisoners were then removed.
CASE OF ARTHUR O'NEIL.

The ►SOLICITOR-GENERAL understood that his
Learned Friend, Mr. Lee, had an application to make
on behalf of Arthur O'Neil, to traverse to the next
session or assizes, and he wished his Lordship would
then hear the application.
The Learned JUDGE, after hearing Counsel, said
he would take the affidavits and depositions in the
matter, consult his two learned brethren, and give his
opinion the following morning.
