NORTHAMPTON, JULY 30.

At our Assizes, which ended en Thotsday last,
Henry Buckland,for stealing a bay mare, Was capitally
convicted, and received sentence of death. James
Butler, convicted of grand larceny, was ordered to
be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House
of Correction for two years, and fined Is. Daniel
Smith, for stealing a sow and four pigs, and Wm. Collier,
for stealing a quantity of hay, were severally ordered
to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve
months, and pay a fine of Is. Richard Lovell and
John Basford were acquitted ; and Thomai "filen was
delivered by proclamation. In the charge against
Basford, a flaw was discovered in the simaing of the
indictment, which was a bar to its going before the
Jury, it being generally expressed " for stealing a
101. note of the Northampton Bark." The Learned
Judge observed, that the Bank of England existed
by pliblic charter, and was acknowledged by the law
of the land; but the law knew nothing of " The
Northampton Bank ;" there might be two, or there
might be twenty Northampton Banks.

Sunday as a Gentleman (an officer in the Guards)
was riding in St. James's-street, opposite the Thatched
House Tavern, the spirited animal on a sudden be-
came very restive, and at -length succeeded in throw-
ing the Gentleman off, who. having had just time to
disengage himself from the stirrups, received no ma-
terial irk;ury from the fall.
