WINCIfErtER ASSIZES.

• The Assizes for the. County corn:rented on Tues-
day. Sir VICARY GIBBS presided in the IViti Priut
Court.—Sir Hamm DAMPIIR in the Criminal. Ibe
dial which excited most, interest, was that of Ad-
miral William Bradley, for forgery'. There were five
bilis against him tot forgery, and one for a haul—
The bill upon which be was tried stated, that by the
ft rgery of the instrument laid in the indictment, he
had defrauded his Majesty's Pbstpaster at Gosport
of the Luin £3. Bs. 6d.
Jacob Legge, Postmaster of Gosport, deposed,
that on the 10th May last, about half-pastnine in the
morning, prisoner produced at his house a paper par-
cel, saying it contained " ship letters," which he
b-ouglit front the ship Mary and Jane, lying at
Cowes, hut he did not belong to the ship. -The par-
ccl contained abotit 111 letters, for which witness

pill him 48. Bs. 6.1. being '2d. for each letter, and
took•his receipt, prisoner.signing Wm. Johnstone.--
Witness had seen the prisoner at his office several
times before ;- he brought ship letters to be forwarded
to Loudon by post—witness knew some of the letters
produced in Court to have been brought to hiM by
the prisoner on the 10th May—did not. know the pri-
soner's name when be signed the receipt, but since
heard it was Bradley.
M. A. Legge, daughter of the Postmaster, deposed
that she had seen the prisoner at their office several
times—he brought about 400 letters on the 316 t of
March, and was paid for them.
George Legge, son of the Postmaster, went in
company with Mr. Barber, on the 11th of May, to
Southwick, where Mr. Bradley lives, and toundliim
athorne—knew him by having seen him frequently
lat their office, at Gosport—saw him on the 10th of
May, with a parcel, which he said contained ship-
letters • he had also seen him on four or five occasions
with ship-letters. Mr. Barber risked the prisoner if
he knew Wm. Johnstone? to which he replied, No;

but Afterwards said that he did. Barber then asked
witness if he had ever seen Mr. Bradley, at his fa-
tiler's house ? to which he replied, Yes. Mr. Bradley
knade no observation on it.

William Barber deposed, that he went to South-
wick with the last witness, and inquired of the priso-
ner ii he was Admiral Bradley ? he said, Yes. Wit-
ness enquired it he had taken letters to the Gosport
1), ist-othce, and signed a receipt in the name of inhn•
stone ? Jie said No, but he had a friend at Lisbr.o of
that name. Witness then took him into custcdy.—
On the 13th of May witness went to Cowes to inquire
it the ship Mary and Jane WAS there, awl found she
was not, nor had been. Prisoner had been in his cus-
tody since the 16th May, and from his general de-
, meancur he thought his conduct rather strange, and
at times he appeared heavy and dull.
Lieutenant Pritchard deposed, that, in the year

809, he s:iiltd with him in the Plantagenet, and that

the command of the ship was obligedio be given up
to the k list Lieutenant, in consequence of the unset-
tled s:ate of Mr. Bradley's miiti ; and that soon after
he was superseded.
He received a most excellent character from seve-
ral °theta s of the Navy, and also from Moses Gree.
tham, Esq. Judge Advocate.—The Jury returned a
verdict ut Guilty—Death. To be executed on-Sa-
turday, August G.
The trial lasted three hours and an half, which wall
chiefly occupied in hearing the legal objections made;
wr.icli went to this, that the signing ofthe name .. W.
Johnstone" was not a forgery, it not being the means
by which the fraud was cummitted—as the money for
the letters would have been paid to any name that
the receipt might have borne ; that it was only a
voucher to Mr. Legge•for his employers, and not a
document by which money was obtained on account
of W. Johnstone. •
James Hat-et:an was charged with a highway rob-
bery in the Isle of Wight, on the 9,11 inst.
William Loog, the prosecutor, deposed, that he
was returning from Ashley to Newport, when lie was
knocked down by a man in a soldier's dress ; be re-
covered himself, and endeavoured to take the stick
out of the man's hand ; they closed, and struggled
for nearly half an hour, but prisoner overpowered
him, took his coat and waistcoat from him, and ran
away. Prosecutor saw him on the following Sun-
day at Newpoi t, when he had on the coat and waist-
coat, and als'i prosecutor's knife and tobacco-box
about him. These articles were produced in Court,
and identified by the prosecutor. Guilty—Death.
To be executed the 6th of August in .front of the
principal entrance to Parkhurst Baracks, near New-
port.
Janus Beds, was next tried for the wilful murder
of Sarah, his wife.
• Rebecca Bower deposed, that in May she was
nursing Mrs. Bevis, who had scalded her arm ; that
on the Friday this happened, she heal(' Mr. Bevis
groaning down stairs ; that on Sunday he appeared
in a rambling state, and left home ; —he returned on
Thursday, and went to bed ; on Friday morning wit-
ness gave him his breakfast, he appeared not so well
as usual, but seemed to know what he was about ;
he came down stairs and asked for his knife; she
said she had lent it to his son—he then went to the
window, and observed how beautiful the wheat ap-
peared ; he then washed himself, and askedior some
clean stockings; he then went up stairs to his wife,
1
and asked her if she intended to go to Hook with
him that day ? The deceased then called the witness
to make haste up to dress her ; she continued her
,work, and soon after heard the cry of Murder ! Wit-
ness then ran up, and saw the deceased lying on the
bed, and the prisoner looking down on her ; she said
to the witness, .4 Seize the villain—he has cut my
throat I" Witness then ran away for assistance, but
not seeing any one, returned again. He was then
pulling his wife into bed ; he looked very hard at
witness, upon which she again ran away. -
Elilabeth Sneller said, she went to Bevies house on
hearing the alarm. -Prisoner said, It is a bad job;
I catmot think how I came to do it—l did not think
of it half a minute before."
William Bachelor deposed to the same, effect, add-
ing that he appeared to be rational at first, but about
an hour afterwards he sat down in a chair, and ap-
peared melancholy.
Thomas Newton saw deceased with her throat cut,
•lying •n the floor, one razor lying near the bedside,
and another under the deceased, which was bloody.
He then went down stairs, and saw. the prisoner, of
whom he-enquired how it happened. The prisoner
said be was going to shave himself--that he laid the

l'at)r in the chair by the bedside, and that she wok
it and cut her own throat. Witness observed, dial,
there was a cut on the prisoner's hand which, he said,
was done in taking the razor from his wife.' The pri."'
seiner appeared to be in his senses at that time.
George Llycrick (who married the deceased's
daughter,) Mr. Watts, and Mr. White, gave unequi-
vocal proofs of the prisoner's insanity ; the last wit-
ness, the day before the melancholy event, recom-
mended the prisoner's sons to take care of him. It.
W. Missing, Esq. had known the prisoner 3( years;
J. Hornby, 20 years ; and J. 'Prey, 10 years ; and fie
was always an honest, industrious peaceable man.
Acquitted of the Murder, the Jury specially finding
that he was insane at the time.
X. Sourer, an Offiger in the Army, was charged
with the wilful murder of John Duterich in a duel.
John Parrish deposed that he is a post-boy, living
with Mr. Judd, who keeps an inn at Lymington, on
the 13th April he took up two gentlemen, in a chaise,
but he did not know them ; they ordered him to drive
to the back of the bathing-houses; when lie came
there, he saw another gentleman on the hank. He
put these two gentlemen down—it was near Lyming-
ton, they were gone about half an hoer, when they
returned with two others ; three of them got into
the chaise, and one rode on the dicky s they ordered
'him to drive to Woodside, which he did; they then
ordered him to turn round and drive to Pennington
and there he put them down, and was or-
dered to turn the chaise round and wait. He did so:
whilst driving backward and forward on the Heath
he heard the report of two pistols, and, on looking
round, he saw the Adjutant drop, and :hr. r 77:
Gentlemen he had taken up, came across the field
over the hedge to him and got iato the chaise, r.r.
tiering hid: to drive to I.ymington ; before he reached
the town, they ordered him to sup, got out, and sent
him back for the Adjutant. He went back, and found
him sitting in a chair, supported by two men ; he took
him into the chaise and carried him to Lymington.
Mr. Ashby, a constable, deposed, that in conse-
quence of information, he followed the parties, but lost
the track of the chaise ; when he saw it again the
Gentlemen had left it, and he saw three of them in a
field, a short distance from Pennington Common ;
he advanced towards them—saw the Adjutant (the
deceased) fire first, then the prisoner, and the Adju-
tant fell. He was then only a short distance from
them ; when he got nearer to them, they went over
the hedge, and drove away. The prisoner told him
to be off, or he would shoot him.
Mr. J. Knight, a surgeon, living at Lymington-,
stated he was called in to see the Adjutant ; the ball
had entered the spine in the back-bone, where he ex-
tracted it. Such a wound would occasion death.

-.-
Dr. Cook, a physician at Lymington, confirmed
the atatcment of Mr. Knight. The prisoner recited
an excellent character from several of the Military
Officers at Lymington, as to his good conduct, peace-
able demeanour, and gentlemanly habits.
The Jury, after a little consultaticn, returned a
verdict of Guilty—Death.
The Prisoner, as soon as the Judge begln to pro-
nounce the awful sentence of the law, fell overpow-
ered, and some little time elapsed before he ccuid be
restored ; when be-arose, he addressed tln.. Judge in
.a most pathetic manner, stating it was not from any
fear of death that he was overpowered, but at the
reflection of his being stigmatised as a felon and a
murderer, and that his family of six children would
now only bel:old him with abhorrence; that- he had
passed. a long life in die service of his y, which
he had done with honour and credit ; that he had
intcoded his sons for the same ptofession, but.now
Itia hopes .were blasted, life rendered insupportable to
him, and his future destiny indifferent ; °tat his
mind prompted him to say much more, but that his
feelings would not allow of its utterance.
. The JUDGE then observed, he appeared fully sen-
sible of all that he could say to him on the subject,
and should therefore only proceed to pass the sen-
tence of the law on him.—No bill was found against
the seconds in this unfortunate affair.—Execution re-
spited till Saturday, August 27th.
Philip Bachrlor (deaf and dumb), for house-break-
ing.—lleath.—Reprieved.
/rate John:tom, for breaking open the house of W.
French, at Alverstoke.—Death.—Reprieved.

BOW-STREET.— Saturday W. Gill, a tide-waiter, was
charged with stealing a silk shawl and handkerchief
trom Mary Clarke, at her lodgings, in Great Russell-
street, Bloomsbury. The prisoner following the pro-
secutrix into her room, and insisted upon searching a
bundle which she carried, and from thence took the
shawl and hankerchief, under pretence of their being
contraband goods. He afterwards discovered his
mistake and returned the property ; but• having,*un-
lawfully possessed himself of these things, he was
taken into custody. Sir N. CONANT said, he was not
justified in what he had done, and therefore must take
the consequence of his imprudence. He was remand-
ed till Tuesday.
