fashionable. time of the year, when persons of rank give dinner
parties on Sundayi so many fishmongers and other tradesmen are
allowed to serve their cowmen' with impunity ? In my opinion It
would be much bettrr to- begin with the higher class at affeedets

ASSIZE

Th*Judges, Barons GAnnow and VottnatA/I, arrived
in this city from Oxford, at six o'clock on Saturday
evening. They were met about- two miles from ihs
city by the High Sheriff, GEORGE FARLEY, Esq. and a
most numerous cavalcade of the Gentlemen of trip'
county. They immediately went to the Towis-hall, and
opened the several Commissions for the County and the
City. It is understood that Mr. Baron GAnnow Will
sit on the crown side, as he did at Oxford, and that Mr.
Baron VAUGHAN wilipreside at Nisi Prima. We regret
to state that the Calendar is very heavy. On Sunday
morning their Lordships attended Divine Service at the
Cathedral, when- the Assize Sermon was preached by
the Rev. Mr. TRINE°. The city is very full, and every
thing seems in a bustle..

are nearly 100 prisoners for trial. The num-
ber of iwttres entered for trial is also great, and such
the extent of business, that the Assizes are expected
to last above a fortnight, and indeed their Lordships
must make great dispatch to get through the business
in that time. There are two causes in the list, which.
from the extraordinary circumstances connected with
them, have excited very general and uncommon inte-
rest, namely—the prosecution of the King by Edward
Turner, Esq. against Edward Gibbon Wakefield, Esq.
for a fraudulent abduction ; and the King against
William Wakefield and gthers, for ccmspiracy, arising
out of the first charge. The same anxiety and hustle
which were manifested at the last Summer Assizes
upon this business appear still to prevail. The agents
on both sides have been most actively employed here
jos the last week in procuring accommodation for their
witnesses, and. as might be expected, the value of vie*
thing, particularly lodgings, has been much.enhanced.
The trial of Wakefield will continue, it is said, two
days. It is believed that the minor points, touching the
admissibility of Miss Turner's evidence, will soon be
disposed of, because the defendant•cannot, after he kit
pleaded, avoid trial, the more particularly when the
'barge is 'of this nature, which can only be proves) by
the evidence of the young Lady herself. •
Mr. Turner's family have engaged a house foe. the
Assizes at the foot of the Castle-hill, and the -Wake-
fields will be at their old quarters near the Assembly-
rooms.

The trial nil' take place at Nisi Paws ; all the de-
fendants must be in Court. There is no knowing liken
the trial will come on, but it is conjectured that it will
commence the beginning of next week.
A counsel has not yet been appointed to 611 the va-
cancy caused by the promption of Sir John Copley to
the Mastership of the Rclls' Court. He was retained on
the last occasion by Mr. Turner.

• AYLESBURY sitES 17,1* lileact to.
Joshua Bowler and Joke Basuto were charged with
having, on the night, or early in the morning of the
15:h of January last, maliciously set fire to allay-rick,
the property of Thomas Grace,. a farmer, in the parish
of Princes Risborough. •
John Bowler called his father in his defence, who
swore that the prisoner on the night in question, went
to bed at nine, and did not rise until seven the' next
morning ; and the prisoner Joshua called his mother,
who deposed to his going to bed at eight, and not get-
ting up till seven the next morning, and that he could
not have gone out of the house without her knowledge.
Thomas and Joseph Bowler gave evidence in sup-
port of the alibi to the same effect.
Mr. Justice GAzticut summed up the evis!ence.
The Jury, after having consulted forsome lilac with-
out being able to agree, retired from the bba, and in
about half an hour returned into Court with a verdict,
finding Joshua Uowler Guilty, and John Bowler Not

The Learned Jaime, in addressing the convict, told Mai, that
notwithstanding the heinous crime of Machias had been convicted,
there was a circumstance in the cue which woeld enable him to
represent his situation to his Majesty with some hope of having the
Idreadful sentence of the law mitigated by the Royal clemency ; that
circumstance was, that the hay-rkk to which, under the infatuation
of his vindictive and ferocious passions, he had set Ore, weal:emote
from any habitation, and, therefore, no other proper' y. our any
human lives were put to hazard ; but if it had been in a dtuation
where a users extensive conflagration might have been the pre-
batik consequence, or if a stogie life bad been endangered, he would
have felt it his painful duty not only to pass immediate sentence of
death, but to leave him for circuit's'. At present the sentence
would be recorded, and if his Life should be spared, he
paged to have hi, millet. cutrtri for •yrr.
