SURREY ASSIZES, APRIL S►

William Holt was indicted for the wilful murder of
Thomas Asll (Lord Spencer's game-keeper), on
the 17th day' of August last, at Wimbledon. This
was the case of the gamekeeper, who was' killed by
a poacher in Lord Spencer's park.

Barnard Hill, a labouring man, stated, that the
prisoner and he worked at the same job ; on the mor-
ning in question he was in the fields, and saw a man
in a red jacket (which was the colour the game-
keeper wore) following a man in a brown jacket ; he
had heard a gun fire previously ; hedill not attend much
to them, and he lost sight of them at the turn of the park
palling. He heard of the transaction in the course
of the day, and mentioned it to the prisoner, who did
not at first say he was the person, but the next day
he confessed he was the man, and said that .the
game-keeper was following him ; that he it first took
away his gun • that he then asked the gamekeeper
he was satisfied ? who replied not, and persisted in
followin& him • that he aitempted to draw his cutlass,
upon which the prisoner said he took that away also,
and upon his attempting to halloo for assistance,
that he gave him a blow on the head with the
handle, and two blows on thethighs, to prevent his
following him.
The Learned Judge, on this statement, said, it was
clear that the case only amounted to manslaughter,
as it was in the heat of blood, and not by malice pro-
pense, which the law required to constitute murder.
The Jury found. him Guilty of Manslaughter, and
the Learned Judge immediately sentenced him to 12
months imprisonment, and a fine of ls.

THE Value of DU. FREEMAN'S GUTTA SALUTARIS,
has been so long proved, that nothing of the present day
can bear a competition with it, in all the different stages of a
certain disease ; which it effectually cures and eradicates from
the habit, without exciting the painful feelings and exposure that
attends salivation—without debilitating the constitution in any
degree, or even requiring confinement from business or restric-
tion of diet. 'The radical virtues of these inestimable Drops have
proved their claim to public approbation for more than 30 years.
In all the debility of both sexes they prove a never-filling resto-
rative—whether the debility is produced by too free use of mer-
cury, by illicit pleasures, or the effects of a warm climate. To
travellers and those going abroad, they cannot be recommended
too strongly, as they will receive a safe, speedy, and complete
cure, in all old stubborn glees, and every weakness that affects
the bladder and organs of urine. By its efficacy many women
have become mothers, who for many years had been deprived of
that happiness.

REMARKABLE CURE.—Rich. Simison, Esq.
45, Poland-street, Oxford-street, near 50 years of age, has
communicated to Dr. Senate one of the most extraordinary Cnres
of a Paralytic Affection which bas ever occurred in the annals of
Medicine, and which has been effect gd by the use of Dr. SE.
NATE'S BALM of MECCA, witibut the aid of any other
remedy whatever. This Gentleman has had several attacks of the
disease, and In Ms Letter to the Doctor expresses himself in the
' following words,"The last attack was most severe,' was confined
to my bed for upwards of nine months, could not in the least assist
myself, or write my name the whole world had been given me
for doing so, and you see how well I can write now ; a certain very
eminent Physician, new In attendance on his Majesty, attended
me all the time, and after prescribing all the usual remedies, said
in the most candid and liberal manner, "Mr. Simison, I can do no
more for you." Thus deserted by the most eminent medical ta-
lents, as a hopeless case, helpless, and incapable of performing the
I common avocations of my profession, I was recommended by a
friend to try your Medicine, which to the astonishment of all who
knew me, has restored me to perfect health, and I was never
known to be in such high spirits ; it therefore appears to me that
any further delay in making my case known to you' and no the
world, would bean act of injustice ; the prejudiced part of the
'community may suppose that this is an exaggerated statement, or
' a deception, but those who will take the trouble to inquire will
find that I am incapable of lending my name to a falsehnotL
