der of Sarah Ford, ,abi ut 60 years of, age, of
parish of North Knish, on the receding Saturday.
We have already related the circumstances *!rich led

kingsbridge, with a view.toasceitain if he was con-
cerned in d)e murder of the child at POdbrooke, on
the 20th of. January last, at he had been four, times
apprehended and examined by a Cemmittee,of Gen-
tlemen and Magistrates, whieb had been formed foc
the purtlose of Investigating .that foul deed, but had
escaped for want of sufficient evidence-,
, Tuesday morning, after requesting bis udele to be
sent for, in his presence; end that cf the constable's,
be confessed the horrible act by saying, " Well, I did
murder the child." Upon being interrogated as to
the particulail, he further stated, •that about six
o'clbek in the evening of the 20th of January last, he
met the child between Bell Cross and the Houses ;
that he 'tweeted her to shew him the way ip Sentry-
gate, and he would give her a penny; shilLvinsplied
with his request; .and proceeded over the istotte steps
and the stile leading to it ; that in the seoondfield he
took her out of the path, went across that O' d into
the next, where he attempted to violate het
but could'not effect, in consequence of her, cries
and resistance i..he then took A stick from the hedge,
struck her twice •on the bend, which he supposed to
have stunned her, as she Made no more noise; after-
wards dashed her heed to pieces with large stones;
and it being dark, he lays* to be quite certain she. was
dead, he felt with Ids bated;-and found het. brains were
beaten out ; he sti:ipPed her of all her clothes but her
stockings, which he intended to have taken. away,
but thinking them of little value, left theta in the fame

wiped them with the Shift, which be throw into the

Another horrid murder was committed last Monte.
day night at Longford, a small 4rillage near Market
Drayton, Shropthire (about ten miles distant frem
the place where Mr. Moray was murdered. by his
wife and servant), on the bodies of Mr. F. Bruce, 4
farmer, and his housekeeper, who were both found
on Tuesday morning in their kitehen with their
throats cut, and the house robbed, On Wednesday;
the' Coronet's Jury sat; but nd discovery had then
been made of the wretches whoharl 'perpetrated the
deed ; but it was supposed to have been done before
eight o'clock in the evening-, as they generally retired
early to beds. The blood had, however, been traced
on a stile aod gate at Morton, a distance of about a
mile; which, it is hoped, will lead to same discovery.
He strongly asserts he has nn associate; but was the.
sole.perpetrator of these blOody murders.
An affray unfortunately took plate in the begin-
ning of this month, in Holbeach Marsh, Lincoln-
shire, when a labourer, in the service of Mr. Waders,
was killed by a servant or Mr. Cooper. Tlie Coro-
ner returned a verdict of wilful murder.

The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, when the pro-

her, u the was very tench addicted to drunkenness,
but he believed that to be her only fault, and there-.
for recommended her to a lenient punishment.
The Chairman commented at some length on the
evil consequences of intoxication, as it prepared the
mind of all persons who indulged in it for any crime,
by the commission of which they could indulge chit
propensity. He ithoald, however, on account of the
prisoner's youth, (above 20) give her an opportunity
of refraining, by keeping her from the use of spirits

Rekrt Usher, Daniel Forsyth, Henri. Chapman, and
?Loam: Jew, a horde of vagrants, with whose noctur-
nal excursions the streets of Westminster have fir
some time been familiar, were placed at the bar, in-
dicted under the Vagrant Act, and fully proved to I
be rogues acid vagabonds. One of these wanderers,
only 14 years of age, had been before pretty familiar !
with the countenance ,of Justice. Three years ago he
was sentenced, at the Old Bailey Sessions, to be trans-
ported for seven years, and was accordingly placed on
board the Hulks, froth. which he was discharged and
pardoned some time ago, on account of exhibiting
some symptoms of returning honesty.
They were severally sentenced to six months. im-
prisonment, in the House of Cotriction, in Coldbath
Fields Prison. • . , .
George Radford, an opulent and patrrarehal Idoking
person, with hoary lolls and 70 years of age, was
put to the bar under 1 indictment, charging him
with assaulting, with intent to ravish, the person of
Fanny Silkier, achild of 10 years old.
The charge was coinpletelr proved against him by
the artless testimony of the child herself, and likewise
by that of two persons *lto happily interrupted him
in this most heinous attempt.
Thetourt Coniidereci him as a great delinquent,
afid bestowed an admonition upon him that made an
PmpressiOn upon all present. He was then ordered
to be-committed to Coldbath-fields House of Correc-
tion, and kept at hard labour for eighteen calendar
Months.
A. Calla:tier and P. Mahony, two Hibernian labou-
rers, were indicted for stealing 30 bricks, the property
of J. Moore, a builder, from a huuse which he was re-
• pairinif, n Compton-street,'Soho, on the 4th of Octo.
ter. Two watchmen stated, that the prisoners were
caught. in the fact of placing the bricks in two baskets,
Which they' carried with them, between one and two
o'clOck in the morning, and, on being chSrged with
their miiconduct, they ran off. Gallagher, in his de.
fence, said, he did nothing btit the looking on, and
protested to Goo if ever he stole the worth of three
fartbings in hit life, the Conn might cut his head off.
Mahony said, he founcrthe bricks in the street, and
was just taking them up out of the way, when he was
stopped by the watchman. • He accounted for his
running away, by. saying he %vas so Much pothered that
he did not know what he tvatabout. They were both
found Guilty.

was to relieve the gardeners, Ind he Was of opinion
it did net se' to repeal in any wise the Act of the
14ths which retie. yed the dung *anon -front over-
weight. Mr. afiptfaminek hearing. this :nisch of •Mr.
Conant's decision,44ed, that be would rather the,
case (Which was not exactly the one he wished or-,
gued at the Sessions') be adjusted by returning back:
to Mr. Dyson Ms horses, and placing him in ;tofu
qsl. The Magistrate observed, he had no objection.
Tor the defendant 'to declare a non pros. to the con-
',Action, and fOtt his, property returned. This was
agreed Co by both parties, which sets the question at
rest until Parliament meets, that dung alone is not
entitled to be 'charged for over-weight.
GUILDHAIIA—Liner Brim-4 baker, in Pst-
ayer-court, Nirirgate‘street,.appeared before Sir M.
BLoXAst, to account for twenty-eight citiartern loavesf

man, who had suffered a piece of dough to stick to the
bottom of the scale, when the bread was made. The,
Alderman observed, that he would not hear an ex-
cuse of that sort. When he saw a man coin before
lam with 28 loaves all deficient, he bad a bad ease
to deal with. Had there been one or two light, and
lame fait loaves, he might have been inclined to look
*ore favourably, but in this instance no satisfactory
ieccuse could be made. It was no extenuation of the
ilefendatit's conduct, if the blame was thrown on the
servant, because every baker shoUld look at the bread
'himself, and see that the public were aot defrauded
is the purchase of an article of vital importance to
all tanks of society. It would be advantageous, he
said, if the name of every baker detected in the act of
cheating the public were made known. The Act Of
Parliament gave hiin the authority to exact ss. for
every ounce deficient, and he would willingly have
given the penalty to the full extent ; but, as the loss
of the bread was in itself a pusishmtnt, he should
only order him to pay 2s. 6d. The baker accordingly

tody some days, on suspicion of forgery, was yester-
day brought up. Upon an investigation of the cir-
cumstances under which he was apprehended, how-
ever, it turned out, that the charge could not be sub.
itandated. He was, therefore, discharged. In his]
possession was found a gold snuff-box, of which ht
refused to give any account ; saying, it was his vs:s-
leety until the 'contrary could be proved. An isrh
inane crowd attended the examination.
A person named Ritarrei, Clerk in the house of
Messrs. Roberts and Curtis, was charged with having
defrauded his employers of considerable rums of
'money at various times, but the object of the pre-
sent prosecution was a £lOO Bank Note, traced to the
prisoner, and proved to be the property of the prose-
cutors. The prisoner made no defence, leaving his
case in the hands of his kolicitor. He was commit-
ted for trial.
