AVIZE INTELLIGENCE.

IMFORD ClRCUlT.—lizazrohn, Auo. 16.
Mr. Justice PARK finished the business on the NW Prius side
last a/ht. His Lordship was engaged the entire day in bearing an
.-.rtion of ejectment relating to some property in Wales, which did
oct possess the least feature of public interest. There has not,
':rein the recollection of the oldest individual living, been so little
I,its.ncss on the Civil side at any former Assizes in this county. Out
sevt.n causes (not a quarter of the average number) entered for
trial. the rtcord in two of them was withdrawn, and in another (an
;rdictment) there was no prosecution, so that, in reality, there were
oily four actions to be decided. Mr. Justice PARK pleasantly ob.
*treed to the Gentlemen of the Bar, that Hereford presented but
•• short commons." 6. Yes indeed," replied Mr. Campbell, 6. there
is rot sufficient here, my lord, to pay the legitimate expenses of the
Stafford eicction"--(A laugh.)
Mr. Justice PARK will assist Mr. Justice Bosarrctuur to.mor.
row in trying the remaining prisoners.
CROWN SIDE.
Joseph Wilson was Indicted for feloniously forging and uttering
it, Richard Dwyer a promissory note for the payment of 101. pur.
porting w be drawn by John Finch, and payable to Wm. Dobbins,
with intent to defraucithe said John Finch.
Mr. Justice BOSANQUET, in summing up, Raid, if the Jury be-
lieved the evidence of Wm. Dobbins, there could not be a doubt of
the prisoner's guilt.
The Jury, after some deliberation, however, returned a verdict of
Not Guilty.
Eleanor George was indicted for stealing a pair of sheets from a
poor woman, named Ann Lewis, a neighbour of the prisoner.
The prisoner, on being called on for her defence, said, " Plage
your honour, my Lord Judge, this is all spite, because I would
not take a false oath respecting a child being murdered; and It is
a pity, my Lord Judge, it is not looked into. It is all spite; it is
indeed."
The Jury, however, found her Guilty, and she was sentenced to
six months' imprisonment and hard labour.

GUILDFORD, Ann. 16.
(Before Mr. Baron Gaartow.)
Joseph Morris was indicted for feloniously killing and slaying
John Powers, an infant of four years of age.
The prisoner had been driving a timber carriage in Vine-street,
Lambeth, when the child accidentally fell under the wheel, which
passed over his arm. He was carried to the hospital, where he
lingered for some time, and then died.
Some of the witnesses examined stated that the prisoner was drunk
at the time, while others deposed that he was quite sober; in addi-
tion to which, it was said that a timber carriage is the most difficult
to manage of any.
The Jury returned a verdict of acquittal.
Win. Furness, Win. Huntingdon, Robert Jarvis, and Win.
Carter, were indicted for breaking into the house of Wm. Carter,
at Clapham, and stealing a clock and other articles. Jarvis, at the
tune of the robbery, was a new policeman, of the letter M division.
Mr. Cr.saxsoir conducted the prosecution, and called
Ann Carter, who deposed that she resided with her husband at
Clapham, and ou the sth of July she went to bed about twelve
o'clock at night. After having fastened the doors and windows, as
she was getting into bed she heard a noise, but did not then aka
any particular notice of it. At three o'clock she was again alarmed,
when her husband, who had up to this time been from home, re-
turned, and found the house bad been robbed.
Wm. Curter, husband of the last witness, stated, that he found on
his return the parlour windows had been broken open, and, on fur.
ther examining, that a number of articles had been stolen.
Mary Ward stated, that she lived in Dorset.street, and that on
the 6th of July a woman brought her a clock, which she purchased
of her. The woman lived with Huntingdon as his wife. Hun.
tingdon himself afterwards came, and put the clock up. He then
wore a fur cap, which was produced.
Charles Kemp, who is a pawnbroker, Borough, produced 'a tea.
caddy, which he said the prisoner Carter pledged with him on the
6:11 of July (the day after the robbery.)
Rii.hard Myers, a constable, said, that in consequence of infor-
mation he had received, he went with two other officers to the house
of Huntingdon on the 16th of July. He there found Huntingdon
and Furness, with their clothes on, in bed, and a woman in bed with
them. They took the men into custody, and on searching the room
found two large bunches of skeleton keys, a dark lantern, and other
housebreaking implements. The suspicion of witness was excited
against Jarvis in consequence of seeing him go to Huntingdon's
house on the evening of the 16th. He therefore apprehended bins
next day. when he confessed he had supped the night before with
Huntingdon.
Kinsey, an officer in the Borough, corroborated the above evi-
dence, adding, that he apprehended Carter the following morning,
and also spoke to Mr. NI ilkinson, inspector of letter M. division,
of the suspicion he entertained of Jarvis, who was accordingly
brought before Mr. Wilkinson at the station house, and questioned
about the tes.caddy. At first he denied all knowledge of it, but on
being told that the officers knew all about it, he said, " If you
will go to my lodgings, I will give up the duplicate." This be did.
Mr. IVilkinson, in addition, stated that Jarvis accounted for the
possession of the duplicates by saying he had exchanged it with
Huntingdon for another for some spoons. This one was
found in the latter prisoner's house. The different articles were
all identified by Mr. Carter. Huntingdon, Furness and Carter,
declared they knew nothing of the matter. Jarvis said he had re-
ceived instructions to apprehend a man named Bradbury, for rob.
bery, and that in passing Huntingdon's house, he had inquired there
about him telling bins further that he would give him a sovereign
for informing him where Bradbuty was. The next day they met
again, and he (Jarvis) treated him with some beer. Huntingdon
said he would have stood treat if he could, but that he was so poor
as to be obliged to pawn his tea-caddy. After some further talk he
(Jarvis) bought the duplicate of him. On the evening of the 16th
of July he again visited Huntingdon, to gain some information con.
caning Bradbury, and supped with him. He had been on the new
police since its formation, but had been discharged in consequence
of this affair. He then called Mr. Manning, an inspector of police
and his serjeant, who said that Jarvis had always been very attentive
to his duty while in the new police.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Huntingdon and
Carter, but acquitted Fume's and Jarvis.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Lord TZIFTZADLIC)
The Court was occupied with the trial of a question of nuisance
the whole of the day, Child and another being plaintiffs, against
Smith and another, defendants. The issue was directed to be tried
isy the Vice-Chancellor. The defendants bad erected a mill for
grinding bones for the purpose of manure, at College-wharf, Lam.
beth : and the question was raised to ascertain whether such bone-
grinding was or was not a nuisance. A number of witnesses were
called to prove that it was a most intolerable one ; while, on the
part of the defendants, a number were also called to prove the
contrary.
A verdict was ultimately returned for the plaintiff.
This was the last cause to be tried.
