THE TIE SEVERED.

; A SKETCH.
same BLACKWOOD'S MADAME.
When news came to the mother, that her sots
Wes slain in battle, all at once it seem 'd
As if the chain that bound her to this earth
Was snapp'd, and, like a broken flower, she pined,
When the rain rushes, sod the winds are loud,
In quick decay. He, of foui. goodly sons
(Two on the ocean for their country died),
Was the sole remnant ; one by oar they sank,
.I.eaving him only, to his mother's heart
Solace—hope—comfort.

Words may not ezprees
The tenderness so tearful and so deep,
The love with which this widow loved her son,
Musing, awake, within her silent home,
Dreaming, isleep, on her nocturnal couch:
He was to het the world. Words cannot paint
The agony, Which, like a tempest fierce,
Tortured her thoughts to chaos when be fell.
And sorrow, like dark midnight, fell between
Sunshine and her morn heart.
• On afternoons
Of summer, when from bean fields blossoming,
Lazy and faint the amorous winds crept by,
Laden with perfumes, %was a pleasant sight
' To look upon the matron, as she turned
• With patient toil her martnur-making wheel,
Within the shadow of her broad-leaved palm
Beside her cottage.door ; while on the seat
Of.daisied turf the freakish kitten play'd
Its antics, and o'erheadiin wicker cage,
The„captive blackbird chanted his clear song.
There was a pleasure, an unbroken peace,
A calm and sweet refreshment in that sight
Of pious age, leaning in tranquil hope
On a frail tie; as, 'mid Sabara's sands,
• • Horizon-bounded, one bright speck of green
Tie traveller sees, and thereon thinks of rest,
Of perils past forgetful.

Like ;tree,
. Tempest o'erthrown, she whined rapidly ;
The cottage soon was tenantless ; and then
The sun atone on the bullies round her gra►e!

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORWICH, 210100L1C.CIttCUI— T-..IIORWICH, Amur it.
. . Before Mr. Justice Hoaxers.
Mary Hervey, aged 86 years, a sickly and sorrow.
stricken looking woman, was put to the bar, charged
with having, on the 27th day.OUNcivelmber last, in thel
parish of St. Marys, within the laid.citya wilfully mur-
dered Edward John liar*, her infant child, by means!
of a quantity of laudanum, which the indictment,
charged her with having forcibly compelled the said
Edward John Harvey to take and swallow down. by
means whereof be became sick and distempered, and by,
reason whereof he died. The Grand Jory had xeturnedi
" No true bill" against the prisoner, and she was put to,
the bar. charged. on the inquisition taken before the
Coroner, Mr. Wilde. On being placed at the bar and
arraigned in the-astral farts, the pronounced the words
"Npt Guilt," almost inaudibly, and the Learned Judge
immediately ordered her a chair. She seated herself, and
seemed to neeclrepoee. The Jury being sworn,
Me. Ulnaat:4u, for the pro:aviation, addressed them
upon the circanistancecif theGrinedury having thrown
out the bilL They had, he said, no doubt well con-
. sidered the mridence laid before them, and justly arrived
at the conclusion they had come to. The same evidence
•on which they had decided Was the evidence, and the
_only evidence, on which' be could proceed. He should,;
. therefore, under 'the circumstances, decline to call anyt
evidence against the unhappy woman, contenting him 4
self with a question. or two to the burgeon whO examined
the dead body' of the child. No poison Was found in'
the stomach.
Mr. Dalrymple, the surgeon, was called to prove
.this, and his evidence was in favour of the prisoner.—
. The body was that of a healthy child, and free from
•disearie: He had examined the intestines, and therewas
no trace of morbid action. There was no appearance of
• •
primeval or other poison having been received info tbe
stomach. lie never saw &body more free from all the
known attributable causes of death. •
AineAfter this evidence the Learned Judge directed the
12miestandy to acquit the prisoner, and she was dis-
ed ; and directions were given for an order of re-
„weal, as we understood, to her own parish.
atuttnLanY.
Samuel Boding and Jobs Drake, each aged 18 years,
• were charged with having, on the night of the 22d of
• February lasts broke and entered the dwelling-house 4
:Samuel True. of the himlet of Pockthorpe, in tbd
county of the city, and with having stolen therefrom
pound of coffee, seven pounds of cheese, and penny%
spines Ind halfpenny-pieces, to the value of fifteen shil-
lings, his property.
The prosecutor it vtdie to one of the penny-pieces, and
one halfpenny : the former because of the octagon shape
it had been beaten into, the latter because of a particu+
lar hole in it.
A man named Steward was called as a witness, who
ststed himself to be Weaver, in the employ of Mr.
Wright, of Norwich. He'proved the priidners coming
to his honactiesk for sifirer fee the copper, and his wife
gave similar testimony. Alf the property Was found
bribe constable in the house of Steward, and be was
taken to the watchbouse in custody with the prisoners.
There a dialogue to k place between one of the pri.
sneers, the witness, and a man in custody there for sheep
: stealing. The prisoner said .he wished .he could get
• clear of this troublesome job, and- he would go for a
soldier. He tould get Clear of it if he could only
get rid of theirat. Shetpstealer,What hat ? Prisoner
--The hat I have on. Sheepsteiler—Change it with
that man there (meaning the witness), and then you will
be tree. The witness asked what they were talking
about, and declined the exchange. As fbr going, for a,
soldier, witness said to the prisoner, !6 Well, and if Mt
do go for a soldier, you must have a good character. I
have hen a soldier, and know ft." (This bat, which
was produced, connected itself with the property stolen).
• It did not,seem to be imputed to this witness that he
. had been concerned with the prisoners in the robbery.
One of the prisoners (Drake) received a good eharac-
jet, but the Jury, after his Lordship bad summed up, re.
• turned a.veidict,of Galley; and it was intkmaled that they
f; • must expilf,'lliiiugh not deotb, jet severe punishment.

The men made a great noise at the window, and said
that they had not a man in the house, and they Must
let him out, or they would break in. She could judge
from the voices that there were two men. They said
the same thing again. The witness nor her servant did
not answer them, but went to the loft, and took ten
sovereigns and some notes with them. The men
worked on a long time, and at, last got in. The
wall was two feet thick. There was a. door that
they had to pass from the kitchen to another room.
They heard them say, " What, are you gone to
bed." One of the men went to the trar.door with a
candle, and said if they had any money they must
throw it down. It was money they wanted—witness
told them that there was 16s. in a desk. The man
went—he came back, arid said that he had got that, and
that they should go down and get something to eat, and
then come back—they came back a second time, and
asked if they had any porter. One of them then pro
ceeded to break the bands of the trap door. She told
them that if they would not ill use them, they would
open the trap; they swore they would not ill use them,
and they opened the trap do r. One of the men went up,
and took the purse. She had put it out of her han.f.—
The purse was not thrown down, but jingled. The one
that was down called to the other to come away, and
give her 21.; he went down, and the curse was thrown
back with an old guinea in it. They stayed in the loft
half an hour after the men went down, and then they
found all the property inihe house disturbed. A silver
watch, a gold brooch, silver sugar-tongs, bunch of keys,
silk scarf, a black gown, three pair of shoes, and tier
articles were gone. She saw the prisoners about three
months afterwards; she had no doubt whatever that
Trotter was the man who came up to her; she was not
so sure about the other prisoner—his voice was very like
that of the other man. Trotter was about twenty 20
minutes with her, and was talking all the time.
Mr. Bambridge cross-examined the witness, but did
not shake her evidence. She said they went into the loft
by means of a ladder, and pulled it up after them. She
had not a perfect view of the face of Trotter, and the'
front of his face was disfigured by something like a cap.
Ann Jameson, the servant, confirmed the evidence of
her mistress.

Thomas Forsyth, on the 22d of April went to Trot-
ter's house about five o'clock. He was in bed. He toll
him that he was one that broke into the house of Miss
Townes. He replied that he had been wrongly informed.
He then went to a box which the prisoner said was his.
In it he found a gold brooch, which the prisoner said
was his wife's, and that he bought it in Scotland.—
Witness desired the prisoner to say nothing. He then
found a silver watch, a black scarf, and other articles,
and the prisoner said to his wife, " Hiney, they are
going to take all your clothes." A further search was
made two days after, and a bunch of keys found and a
pair of shoes. On that day be called at Sharp's house,
and there he found a pair of shoes on his wife's feet. He
tried the keys he found with the locks at Miss Townes',
and they all fitted.
Miss Townes identified all the property produced,
except the shoes, which she was not so certain of.
Trotter, in his defence, said that he was never in that
house in his life ; that the prisoner, Sharp, sold the arti-
cles to him, and be had witnesses to proie it.
Trottkei sister was then called: She swore that Sharp
had sold the articles stolen to his brother, and gave ht r
evidence in such a manner as to induce the LeAtned
Jtidge to order her to remain inCourt.—Another woman
also gave her testimony in a suspicious way, and she
was likewise ordered to remain in Court.

Sharp, in his defence, said, that his wife bought the
shoes, as she told him, for Ss. 6d.
Mr. Baron Huta.oce summed up.
The Jury retired for a short time, and found Trotter
Godly, and Sharp Not Guilty. •
Mr. Baron Hum.oce addressed the two women, and
told them that he had no doubt but that they had com-
mitted deliberate perjury. There were some difficulties,
and he should suffer them to depart, but they would
be liable tb be taken up and prosecuted for their infa-
mous conduct ; and he cautioned them to take care
how they again came into a Court of Justice.
Sentence was not passed on Trotter.
DURHAM, Ascot 8.
SEDUCTION.—KILBURN V. SOWZRBY.

`this was a writ of • inquiry executed before John
Creiffiths' Esq. the Under Sheriff. The damages were
laid at 5001.
Mr. ALEXANDER appeared on the part of the plain-
tiff. He stated, that this case was one in which he
fougln, it the hands of the Jury; some compensation for
the injury which had been indicted on his client by
the defendant.. It was unfortunate for his client that*,
as the law now stood, the only method allowed an in■
jured parent of seeking redress, was through the me.
dium of an action like the present, where the claim
sots founded on an alleged loss of service. This..waso
however, only necessary to bring the case into tout.
When once proof had been given of service being usu-
ally performed by the daughter,and a lossof that service
consequent on the misconduct of the defendant, it was
then open for them to take into their consideration the
i utrage on a parent's feelings, as well as the disgrace
entailed on a fami'y by the course which the defendant
had thought proper to adopt. L. was' a part of the
form prescribed be.leW in. uch a case as this, and in-
deed it was iodispeasable, that the unhappy victim of
seduction should be produced as a witness before them.
This, he submitted; would be an additional reason for
increasing the damages they might be disposed to give ;
as the greater was .the injury inflicted on the girl—the
greater was the disgrace in her being forced to become
the historian of her'own disgrace. The plaintiff was a
small tardier and a blacksmith, at Elheiley. With the
station or fortune of the defendant he was unacquainted.
He was, however, be understood, - in good circum-
stances. About the commencement of the year 1825,
the acquaintknce of the defendant with the daughter of
the plaintiff took place. Foe 18 months his attentions to
her had beeti constant, and he had, under the guise of
knowable addresses, thus procured an opportunity of
completing her ruin. She at length became pregnant
by him, and of course the father was forced to ekpehd
considerable sums of money in her care. These of course
would be taken into their consideration in estimating
the amount of damages • they would grant the plaintiff.
It would perfolOs, be eoniendecf, that because the plain-
tiff was% person of hatable, rank, he was therefore not
eutitled to receive os:{irge a compensation as if he moved
in.* higher sphere..,kile, however, for one, could never
subset ite to the monopoly of fine feelings by the higher,
orders. There could be no reason for imagining that
the cottage might not eontain as much delicacy of
feeling as the palace, and he hoped that the Jury would
shot!, firtlle•Onsount of the damages they gave his
client, the impression which such conduct as that of the
deferidait bade on their mind*. He .sought not for
vindictive damages, but be hoped for such as would
make some compensation for coMpleic...dottipensation
was in such a case impossible) to dsetplaiusiff for the
gross violation-which hii chakiitl.i?, coVort,' and peace
of mind bad suffered. ' .• :,1

Margaret Kilburn, a decently dressed and well•look.
ing girl, was then placed in the box.. My father lives
at Etherley ; he is'a blacksmith,la4cl farms len acres of
land; I was fourteen years of age when first I became
acquainted with'the defendant; I have two sisters and
two brothers ; one of my brahers is a medical man ;
my misfortune with the defendant took place eighteen
months atter our acquaintance had commenced; the
defendant Always came to my father's house when both
he and my mother were from home; he sometimes met
me going to market ; no other person than the defen-
dant could by possibility be the father of the child which
I had sbbsequently ; the reason why Sowerby did not
come to our house while my patents were at home was
because he said he was afraid of my mother; the de-
fendant proMised to marry me about six months after
our acquaintance commenced.
Cross•examined by Mr. Jov—l had known the de-
fendant about half a year before our intimacy took
place ; I did not tell my mother that he promised to
marry me; thought I was too young, and thAt was my
reason fur not doing so; I thought my mother would
be angry; the defendant came to my father's house twelve
times at least ; he did not promise me marriage before
my misfortune, but he came a week after, and told me
he would marry me ; the transaction took place the
first time in a field behind my father's house, at about
six o'clock in the evening ; it was not light at the time;
it was earlier in the year than• the month of April; I
was abort sixteen years old then; the defendant is now
about 23; when I first knew him he was about 20; I
used to sleep with my sister in the same room as my
brother and Williamßootb, my father's apprentice; my
brother is married now; when he married, my sister
and myself slept in the kitchen ; I knew a man named
John Parkinson for about ten years; he never came to
see me at my father's house, when he and my mother
were from home; I never have known him intimately;
I mean to swear the child to the defendant.

Re-examined by Mr. ALEXANIDERI do not know
when the promise was made, nor at what time of the
year it was, but I think it was about the spring; there
are only three rooms in my father's house, the icitchen,
the parlour, and a room up stairs; my father and mo-
ther slept in the parlour; I know what the defendant's
Counsel meant when lie said intimacy ; the promise was
made of marriege a week after that had taken place.
George Nesham, a schoolmaster of Etherley, had
known the plaintiff and his daughter; the daughter had
been in his school during six years ; she always appeared
to him a very fine steady girl, and he always considered
her character perfectly good; she left his school at the
latter end of the year 1823.
William Dowson was a farmer at Etherley; knew
the defendant, and had, always-understood that he was
well to do. He believed the defendant's father farmed
his own land.

Joseph Dowson bad known the plaintiff and his fa-
mily about twelve years. and had always found the
daughter to be every thing that was agreeable—that
was,.every thing that was proper.
Mrs. Pattison stated, that the plaintiff's daughter
lived servant to her next door neighbour, and she 'bad
Always been very decent and•proper. .
- Cross-examined by Mr. JOY.—During that time
whiCh the witness knew her she had been with child,
and she knew she was not married.
John Turner proved that the father of the defendant
was the owner of property Worth 60i. per annum.
• Mr. .TOT addressed the Jury for the-defendant. He
submitted that this might be a very proper case for the
interference of, a Magistrate by an order of affiliation,
but certainly not 'such a one as ought to be brought
into a Court of Justice of this description for decision.
Notwithstanding the very Magnificent address of his
Learned Friend, it did not appear from the evidence in
the cause that the defendant• was worth a single far-
thing. He was, it appealed, living With, and sup-
ported by, his father. It was quite proper that the
Jury should take into their view the injury which the
feelings of the parent had suffered; but k *at also
proper that they should see whether.the plaintiff had
used that caution which the situation and sex of,his
child required. Now, here it did not appear that there
was utbrja.delicacy in allowing his daughter to sleep in
the same room with her brother and an apprentice.- The
eloquent. address of his Learned Friend had been painted'
rather at their hearts than their heads, but he conceived
that this was not the way they ought to ptroceed, in
order to forM a correct judgment on the case. He
aimed rather too low ; and if, to make use of rather a
familiar expression, they carried mote sail than ballast '
—if they trusted tither to the guidance of their hearts
than of their heads,*they 'would, most likely, be misled.
The Learned Counsel continued: " If we look back at
ourselves when we were twenty or twenty-one years
Old, I think it will be found that some of the wisest
Mining us (Always, of course, excepting my Learned
