LINCOLN ASSIZES.

A little before ten, on Monday morning, Baron
WOOD proceeded to the City Jail, where the follow-
ing prisoners took their trials :

William Hudiot, aged 25, charged with stealing a
promissory note of the value of R 5. ss. two notes of
the value of RI each, and other notes, the property
of Mr. Benjamin Capper, of Kentish Town. From
theevidence of Mr. Capper, the prosecutor, it appeared
that he saw the prisoner on Lincoln Race-course, on
Friday, the 24th of September List, between one and
two o'clock ; and that on returning from a private
party that night to the inn at which he had put up
for two or three days before, he found the prisoner
there, in company with two other n:en and a female.
After canversinc some time, the prisoner pulled a
pack of cards out of his pocket, and proposed to play
At whist; to'this Mr. Capper would not assent, say-
ing that he did not understand the game, but in point
.of Jett Stspeettng that the cards were known by the
prisoner. Hudson afterwards proposed taking odds
upon the St. Leger stakes—offering to accept seven
to two that he named tht winner for a large sum—
but on Mr. Capper's pulling out some notes to bet
with him, the prisoner declined, and Mr..C. in con.•
sequence put his money into his pocket again. ;
Before Mr. Capper retired to bed' the Prisoner en.
quired whether he could also hive a be44-and.after
some little demur on the part of the landlady, it was
arranged (with Mr. Capper's unction) that Hodson
should sleep in a small room adjoining the. One in
which the Prosecutor slept, and which :,was divided
by a slight partition, haying a door communicating
between the two rooms. Between one and two Mr.
Capper and Hudson went to bed,the former being.
rather intoxicated. On the following morning, op
awaking, the Prosecutor found that notes to the value
of se2s had been taken from his breeches pocket, and
suspicion attakhing to Hudson, who had risen early
and left the city, he was puriued, and overtaken near
Retford. After some resistance, he. rtv-as at length
secured, and nearly all the property found upon hull,
he bailing changed only one of the notes ; the rest
auswered the description of those lost by the prosecu-
tor, .but he was only able to swear to one of them,

day befbre he was robbed.
The Prisoner qtteitioneC, ;Ma etarnined all the wit-
nesses brought against him, but nothing favourable
came out from any of them. In his defence he said,
that when Mr. Capper was gone up to bed, and he
was about to go himself,. he picked up the notes in
the room where they had been sitting.
The Jury having, from some circumstances that
came out in the .evidence, acquitted him of the ca-
pital part of the offence, found him Guilty of Steal-
ing, but not in the dwelling-house. Sentence-1
'Seven Year's' Transportation.
Thomas 741ey, aged 49, and lamer Booth, aged 25,
were tried for stealing a leather trunk, containing di-
vers articles of weal ing apparel, &c. Irom the yard of
'Zachary Searson, of Lincoln. 1-he trunk was talon
by a servant .1 Dr. Clarke, of Louth, to the ware-
house of Mr. Hinds, cart.* fiom Louth to Lincoln,
in order to be forwarded to Mr. Wm. Clarke, in
London, and arrived in regular course at Mr. Sear.
son's, from whose warehouse it was stolen. The pri-
soners, who were watermen, had been lying with a
vessel near the yard where the trunk was deposited,
with other goods, and went away from Newark on
the morning of the robbery (the 31st of October).—
The discovery was made by the master of the vessel,
John Barnsdale, who, having occasion to go into the
cabin some time after, when the vessel was near
Newark, found the stolen property, and had the pri-
soners taken into custody. They stated iu their de.
fence, that the trunk had been put on board by some
one whom they did not know ; but the improbability
of the story of course prevented its having any weight,
and they were both cbnvictel Sentence—Seven
years transportation.

C. ilvenell, who was sentenced at the Hampshire
Assizes to stand in the pillory for two hours, for com-
pounding with several pawnbrokers of Portsmouth to
stay prosecutions against them for overcharge, suf-,
fen J the public shame on the Parade at that to% n,
on Tuesday ; and so intense was the cold, and so
great his sufferings in consequence, that it was scarce-
ly known whether he was dead or alive at the expira-
tion of the two hours.

Tuesday Jame: Meredith and Matt. Hale were com-
mitted to Gloucester gaol, by J. VERELST and E.
Davis, Esqrs. charged with killing and carrying
away, from a wood in the hundred of St. Briavell,
one fallow deer, the property of Lord Viscount GAGE.
Saturday se'nnight a case of a novel nature came
on before the MAYOR of Drogheda. A woman,
named Margaret Collins, complained against her
husband for having deserted her, and taken up with
another with whom he lived. The man, in his de-
fence, stated, that she was of a very violent temper
(which herconduct before the Magistrate fully proved)
—that in a fit of anger she had offered him for sale
to the present possessor for two pence, and absolutely
sold and delivered him over for three halfpence—that
he then quitted her, and had taken up with the other
woman ; lie also stated, that his wife had several
times beat him, and produced h:s hand, which bore
evidence of her having bitten him, though many
months ago. The complainant was so exasperated
that she flew at the husband, whom she seized by the
neck and struck several times. The other woman
was then called in, and as she passed the wife re-
ceived a few blows and many curses. This woman
corroborated all that had been said by the man ; ac-
knowledged that she had purchased and lived with
him. The parties received a lecture upon propriety,
from the MAYOR, and were dismissed. The con-
course of people that attended this trial was yery
great, and 411 present seemed highly entertained.

Bow-ST It V er.--Yesterday Mary also,' .was senten-
ced to three months imprisonment, charges with
taking illegal insurlnee in the State Lottery.
R. Clark was committed as a reputed thief, being
detected by Cave, the officer, in the act of attempting
to rob a Gentleman in Holborn.

J. Reynold: was committed for re-examination,
charged with having hired a horse on the 20th of De-
cember, of Mr. Wright, of Birmingham, which he-
f ailed to return.

UNION HALL—Yesterday J. Blake and IV. Turnbull,
charged with breaking open the coach•house of B.
French, Esq. at Camberwell, were again brought up.
A. coat and a pair of small clothes, the duplicates for
which bad been found by Collingbourne, in the pos.
session of Blake, were sworn to by the coachman of
W. Flayte, Esq. of -Dulwich, from whose coach.
house, together with the chariot glasses, they were
stolen on the night of the 16th ult. ; a pair of spurs,
found at Turnbull's lodgings, were also claimed by
the coachman of Mr. Evance, who also stated, that
they were stolen when his master's coach-house was
broke open on the night of the 18th of February last.
Blake, in his defence, said, he purchased the dupli-
cate for ss. of a woman, whom he met by chance in
the street. Turnbull said he had purchased the spurs
of a man he did not know, for a pot of beer. They
were both fully committed.

J. Gardener, 12 years of age, was brought up by
Price, the constable, who found him wandering on
Kennington-causeway, at an early hour in the morn-
ing, crying with hunger. The boy stated, that his
father and mother travelled the country as pedlars,
and were at preseat absent on a journey, he did not
know where ; previous to their last leaving town, they
had left him with a carpenter, where he was to remain
a short time on liking, before he was hound appren-
tice ; but after they were gone, his master used him
exceedingly ill, and turned him out to get victuals
wherever he could. This treatment obliged him to
leave him ; he had made application at several
places for work, but could get none, and had been se.
veral days wandering about the streets, almost perish.
ing with hunger and cold. He expressed a desire to
go to sea, when the Magistrate, (Mr.l3luNte) having
ordered him something to eat, sent an othcrr with a
letter, recomment:ing him to the care of the Regula-
ting Officer on board the tender.
Yesterday morning the warehouse of M-r. G. Har-
rison, at the corner of Honduras-street,. Old-street,
WAS broken open by some villains, who stole thirty.
two reams of paper from one of the lofts. The door
of thtt warehouse being exceedingly strong, and the
windows barred, the thieves dug a hole under the door,
large enough to admit a child, who was in all proba-
bility put in for the purpose of pushing back et bolt
that was the chief obstacle to the enterprize. They
escaped with the paper after havingt scattered abou
the warehouse every thing-that was useless to flaunt
