4UMMER ASSIZES. '

CHELMSFORD, JULY 20.
?n ;imminence of the temporary indisposition of Lard Chief
Justice Best, who became ill yesterday from the intense heat of the
weather, Mc. Serjeant CIeiSLOW sit for his Lordship today on the
Crown side.
William Richard HatailtonNjoung man of te'pect-
able Appearance, was in itcted rofstealtlig, et Colch stet-,
on the Ist inst.a horse, the property of Ephraim Giles.
The defence set up fur the prisoner nes two-fold—
first, an alibi j and, second, Mot he had purchased the
horse in the City-road, on the 28th of June last.
Mr. Serjeant ()macaw sufnored up the evidence for
the Jury, and left them to sup whether, under all the -
circumstances, the defence tet up as probable or coo-
sivent with the pris ,ner's conduct ?
The Jury. found the prisoner Gado.
The prisoner being called upon, whether he had any
thing to say why sentence of Death should not be pasted
upon him ? declared in the most vehement manner that
he was entirely innocent of the robbery, and that he he-
came pos.,essed of the horse in a fair course of dealing.
Mr. Serjeaut OuszAor passed sentence of Death upon him.
The prisoner left the dock declaring, a paroxysm
of grief, that if he were executed he should be murdered.
A strong sensation favou'rable to the prisoner was ex-
cited by the testimony given in his favour, as well as
from his deportment throughout the trial, which was
perfectly decorous and respec ful.
Sansud Bugg and Joseph Constable were convicted,
upon the c!earest evidence, of stealing a sheep at Great
Horksley, on the 29th of June, the property of William
Partridge, an « xte..sive farmer. _ _

The prisoners were notorious characters, and had been long sus-
pected of plundering the neighbouring flocks.
Sentence of Death was recorded.
John Payne was indicted fur feloniously killing and
slaying Benjamin Gooday, in a cembato at Witham, t4n
the 10th of May.
The Surgeon was inclined to think that the rupture
of the blo vessel might have been occasioned by the
excitement of anger, especially as at the time of the
conflict the deceased was in a state of inebriety.
Mr. Series= ()snow summed up the ease for the Jury, and Om
prisoner was found Net Guilty.
Silliant zpeller and Jame: Wood were indicted for
killing and slaying R:chard Webb, at Razing, on the
16th of May last.
It appeared that at last Hazing Fair, a fight had beets
as gotten up," to terminate the sports of the day.
During the fight, the deceased quarrelled with the father
of the prisoner Speller, and struck him. The father
being an old man, Speller told the deceased that he
would fight him, he being a better match for him than
his father. A ring was accordingly fotteed ; three
rounds were fought, and in the third the deceased was
knocked to the ground, and never rose again,
There were no external marks of violence on
bead; and the Surgeon giving it as his opinion that the
deceased, who was nf very plethoric habit, might have
died of a common aphplexy, induced either by his own
violence towards the prisoner. or by mere passion,
The Learned Serjeant interposed, and directed the Jay to
,aelpit the prisoners. Verdict—Not God*

SALISBURY, JULY w.
CALLEY. ESQ. V. CANNON (THE BOXER).
Mr. Sajeant Pais stated the case for the plaintie—
a Gentleman well known in this county, owner of 13vr-
derop Park and wood. The defendant was stated, in
the instructions given to him (Mr. Serjeant P. 11) to be
" a dissolute person," and nut qualified to pursue Or
kill game. The Jury would understand that there %sal
a count in the action framed on the Statute of the iktit
and Stb of William and Mary, which forbids " appren-
tices and other dissolute persons from following the
idle pursuits .of hunting and fishing, inste.id of sane
useful employment" n►orc suitable to their stations. By
this Act, if the defendant wete foundtuilty, he had to
pay all the coal, no matter how small the verdict may
be. The trespass complained of was committed on the
property -of the. plaintiff. The Jury would no doubt
desire to know who this " dissolute person"' was thAt
was brought before them in this adias by fur. Galley ?

- -
The priaener larded Not Guilty.
Mr. HOLT, in stating the caw to the Jury, observed
that the prisoner bad been in the service of the vene-
rable Earl Fitzwilliam, at whose expense he would be
this day defended. The story was brief, and he would
now proceed to call witnesses.
Mary Budgeham—Saw the prisoner on the day in
question, with an axe in his hand. The door of his
Irau,e was shut and he broke it open, saying, as he
entered, that if anybody followed him he would chop
them with the axe. He fastened the doors and win-
dows, and said, as he was master of the house, that
bis wile should not come there any more, Next day
witness saw the prisoner in a position to strike his wife,
but witness saw no blow struck then. However, she
saw the deceased fall. When, after prisoner struck the
deceased, witness told him to recollect that he was not
striking a beast; he sternly replied, D—n you, if
you don't hold your tongue, I'll give you as much."
Upon the deceased falling, witness heard some person,
say, " Poor thing, she is dying," to which the prisoner
replied, " D—n her, if she does not die, I'll make her
die before night." After the fall, the prisoner's wife
never spoke.
Several persons gave the prisoner an excellent character.
The Jury retired for about ten minutes, when they returned a
verdict of Guilty, but strongly recommended him to mercy on the
ground of the extreme provocation which he had received.
The prisoner was then sentenced toils months imprisonment in
the House of Correction.
William Taylor was indicted for breaking and enter-
ing the dwelling house of George Haigh, at South
Ouram) in this county, and stealing therefrom fifty
sovereigns, a watch, and some silver spoons, and bills
of exchange to the value of Mi. in the night of the
6th of April last.
The principal witness against tie prisoner was the
companion of his guilt in committing the burglary,
a person of the name of Charles Law, who detailed
with the most tedious and offensive minuteness the
plotting and effecting the robbery and burglary. There
was, however, nothing novel in the mode of attack,
as the usual apparatus wet e used, namely, a crow-
bar, some matches, &c.
Several persons corroborated the evidence of the
informer in parts of his detail. The principal part of
the property, however, was found concealed in the
house of the prisoner.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.
Sentence of Death was recorded against him, but Mr. Baron
Mums told him that sentence would not be carried into effect,
but he must make up his mind to leave the osontry for life.

Mr. Cannon was no other than that far-famed indivi-
dual whe went by the name of " the Great Cannon of
Windsor," or " the Windsor Cannon".—(A laugh), a
man of great notoriety, and now said to be " the
Champitsn of England,"—he was a man of the fancy,
and a professed prize-fighter, and had yesterday to
support his claim te the championship against
Ward—(A lawgh). Not being himself of the fancy,
he could not meet this defendant, and he wished,
therefore, to get *rid of him as soon as possible.—
There were only two facts to Ise established—first, that
the trespass complained of was committed in Mr.
Calley's wood by this "dissolute person," who left the
honest employment of coal-heaver in Windsor to hunt
and shoot, and, who, with others, grievously molested
the plaintiff. Mr. Calley let Burderop Park to a Mr.
Hayne, a Gentleman of some celebrity who brought the
defendant down. The wood was not let. When Mr.
Calley forbade the defendant from repeating his visit to
the.wood, the latter said " D—n him, but Ire would as
often as he liked, and cl;cl not care for any man."
John .Jerram sworn, said—l was under-gamekeeper
huh October to Mr. Hayne, at Burderop Park. On the
sth of November last I saw Cannon shooting pheasants
in the great copse; he killed two in that day; lie had
two semis with him; he was with Tom Belcher—(A
laugh)—and the groom and dogmen. 1 saw him there
a score times. On the 6th of November I was dis-
charged by Mr. Hayne. Cannon came to me on the 13th,
and offered me 101. first, and at•erwards 201. for keep-
ing silence aboat shooting the phsassirts. I refused toe
money. He told me he was preparing to fight Josh
Hudson, and if he beat him he would get 7uol. and
would not mind a few thumps for that—(A laugh).
He told me that Mr. Calley forbid him from sho t:ti
on his land, but " he would shoot; d—n him if he
would not, notwithstanding Mr. Calle) or any other I
m:in in England." Ater this I saw him shooting on
Mr. Calley land.
Cross-examined—Mr. Hayne seas tenant to Mr.
Calley, in the Burderop house and manor. Cannon lived
at Mr. Hayne's, and went with his servants. That wood
belongs to Mr. Calley. I have heard Mr. Calley say
that his estates were in the hands of his creditors. Can-
non offered me 101. and then 201. for not giving infor-
mation before the Magistrates of the shooting of those
pheasants. He ssid " I understand you have informed
against me for shooting game?" I said, 64 I have;" then
he went out of the house, and he called me aside, and
offered me 101. not to say a word about it. I refused ;
he then offered me 201. which I refused also.
lte-examined—The wood is cut every year, end the profits go to
tin Calky. I know that, because they are his men who cut it.
Mr. Caney now employs sae to look after the wood.
Mr. lgullings, attorney to Mr. Calley, proved that the profits of
the wood went to Mr. Calley, and not to his creditors.
Mr. MANNING stated the defendant's case.—The Jury
heard from his Learned Ft lend that the plaintiff was a
Gentleman of property, but they also heard from the
witness that he was in some difficulties, and let his
house and ma .or of Burderop Park to Mr. Hayne. This
(latter) Gentleman h.d a right to employ such per-
sons as he pleases to make the property available. He
was justified in employing Cannon, or any others to kill
game for him on this manor. Mr. Calley had parted
with his property to papphis creditors, and he had no
more interest in the pheasants than any of the Jury. It
was material to notice that this action was brought un-
der the 4th and sth of William and Mary.
Mr. Justice Gaines—The count under that Statute must be
left out, for there is no proof that he was a " dissolute person,"
ner did it appear what he was.
Mr. Serjrant Pau.—He told the witness that be was to get TOOL
fir fighting Josh Hudson.
Mr. Justice Gssemes—That is no proof; the count under the
Statute is out of the question.
Mr. MANNING continued.—This witness was in the
employment of Mr. Hayne, and b ing discharged by
him, he turned round, and sent to the plaintiff to
enable him to bring this action. But he was not only a
witness for this action for trespass, but it also appeared
from his own admission, that he was an informer, to
recover penalties before a Magistrate for the same
offence. The object of the :ounts under the Statute
William and Mary, was to subject the defendant to all
the costs, though the Jury might not give more than
one farthing damages. Though that Statute was ruled
by his Lordship not to apply here, yet the Jury could
see by it what was the feeling of the plaintiff. But
Mr. Calley could not maintain this action, and if he
got damages, it would be a breach of trust in him,
unless he accounted with his creditors.
Mr. Justice Gasman—Do not mind that, Mr. Manning, leave
it to the Court of Chancery.
Mr. Mamenna—Yes; the creditors might file a bill is Chancery,
for at the time of this trespass Mr. Calky was not in possession of
thz wood. He hoped that on this unsupported testimony of a dis-
carded servant, the Jury would nut give a verdict against his client.
The Learned JUDGE explained the Statute of William
and Mary, which prohibited apprentices and dissolute
persons from following those sports which were not
suitable to their station, to the neglect of their proper
employments. On a verdict under that Statute the
defendant should pay all the costs on both sides, how
trifling soever the damages might be. But the Jury
had nothing to do with that Statute, as the counts laid
under it were not supported. The question for the
Jury to consider for the other counts was, whether
Mr. Caney was in possession of the wood at the time of
these trespasses? or whether Mr. Hayne had a right,
by himself and friends, or servants, to hunt or shoot in
it ? It would, indeed, have been worth while, for this
purpose, to see the conveyance from Mr. Calley to Mr.
Ilayne; for it was possible that a Gentleman letting a
place, might permit the person taking only, and not
arty thers' to shoot or sport. If Mr. Calley had not
possession of the wood at the time, the action could not
be maintained.
The Jury immediately found a verdict for the plaintiff, with One
Shilling damages.
Mr. Serjeunt Pets. applied tie bis Lordship to certify that this was
an action in which the plaintiff ought to have his costs.
Mr. Justice GASZLIS said he would, but there was
another action of the same nature, as he believed,
Brown r. Cannon. lie would not certify in both ; and
he suggested to the Learned Counsel to let a verdict bel
takeu in that also, as perhaps the evidence was the same.
Manssilo consented to a verdict of one shilling damages in
the second action, understanding that his Lordship would certify
silly for the first.
Mesa Greca was indicted furthe murder of her new-born male
child, on the 2d of Match last, at Caine, in this county.
Thc Jury blind her Nee Guilty of the murder; but fAnTV of
concealing tine birth.—She was sentenced to de mouths'
impri-
sarketent.
.721nes Prams was indicted for a rape on Barbara Crips, in the
parish of Maimesbury, on the 28th of April last.
