LENT ASSIZES.

CHELMSFORD,- MARCH it.
Jeoph Binder, a youth of seventeen, was indicted
for assaulting William Thorp, on the King's high-
way, -on the 9th of November, in the Parish of Lu-
ton, putting him in fear, and stealing from his person
ten shillings in silver. •
The prosecutor stated, that he was in the habit of
attending fairs. On the night of the 17th of Novem-
ber, between eleven and twelve o'clock, be was re-
turning from Epping to Harlow Bush fair, where be
had a booth, and within tat or twelve yards of his
stand he was surrounded by ten or a dozen men.—
One of them clasped his hands over his mouth from
behind, whilst others held his arms and rifled his
pockets of all the money he had, which amounted to
ten shillings. He told them not to ill-use him, and
said they might take all be harrandweicome. The
prisoner, who was one of the gang, caught hold of
his fob, mad said, " You b—y you have got
a roll of notes here," and tore the fob away. Witness
said he was mistaken, that it was only memorandums,
and snatched she fob back again. Having taken all
he had, and torn his lower garment from the waist-
band almost to the knees, one of the gang gave him
a kick on the breech, and told him he might go about
his business, and they accordingly left him. He was
positive as to the prisoner's identity, having frequently
seen him before at fairs and other public places. He
should have known him by his voice, if he had not
seen his fice ; but he had an opportunity of seeing
the•litter by the light of a candle, which was brought
oat at the moment by a cottager at a few yards dis-
tance, who.carne to see what was the matter, though
he did not approach for fear of being murdered. The
night was also light, though no moon shone. 'Up-
wards of twenty persons were robbed and ill-used in
the fair the same night.
Cross-examined by the prisoner.—Witness could
not describe all the particulars of the prisoner's dress.
He wore a butcher's blue cotton frock, but could not
say what sort of hat, neckcloth, or trowsers, he had
on; Mit in other respects he was quite positive as to
his identity.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he was innocent
of the charge. He had not touched the prosecutor,
nor had any of his money. The prosecutor must
have known him from being a servant to a person in
the habit of attending fairs. He could not call wit-
nesse:to his character, as there wen: no persons pre-
sent
at the time who could speak of his character.
The Jury, under Ole Learned Judge's directions,
found the prisoner Guiltzt—Death.
Robert Gould,stone was indicted for feloniously and
maliciously maiming and wounding a boar, the pro-
perty of Robert Crush, in the Parish of Butsbury, on
the 24th of September latt.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor,
that the prisoner was a neighbour of his, with whom
he was on good terms until the present transaction.'
Oa the day mentioned in the indictment, the unfor'.
tunate animal in question, having been let loose after
three months confinement, crossed over a pond which
separated the prosecutor and the prisoner's land, and
entered the garden of the latter, where it did consi-
derable mischief to his vegetables. The prisoner, in
a fit of furious rage, attacked the boar with a large
cudgel, and beat him most unmercifully for an hour
continually, whilst he was in the water. He broke
his back in two places, and fractured five of his ribs,
as was afterwards discovered when the animal was
killed and flayed. Witness confessed that he could
not suppose that the prisoner bore any malice to-
wards
himself personally ; that the boar had once
before entered the prisoner's garden, and did mis-
chief, and he -attributed his violence on this occasion
to the trespass committed by the boar.
The. Cuter BARON told the Jury that they must
find the prisoner not guilty, the gist of the offence,
namely, malice toward the owner, not being made
out. His Lordship,' however, expressed himself in
strong terms of indignation against the prisoner's bar-
barous and brutal cruelty towards the miserable ani-
mal which was the object of his savage inhumanity..
Verdict—Not Guilty.
Thomas Ayling, convicted of sheep-stealing, re-
ceived sentence of death.

HANTS ASSIZES.
A most interesting trial took place in the case of
W. Bull, an Exciseman, who stood charged with
having, on the &h of September last, murdered a'
smuggler, named Wm. Long, in the Isle-of Wight.
It appeared in evidence, that the parties had a scuffle,
in which Long struck a sword-stick out of W. Bull's
hand, and pulled a hammer from his pocket, which
%lull thought was a pistol ; Bull, who had a loaded
pistol, instantly shot the smuggler through the body;
and the latter died on the spot. It was proved, that
Bull was a man of humane character, and that the
deceased had• often sworn that he would never be
taken by an Exciseman.—Bull was convicted of man-
slaughter and sentenced to one inonth's imprisonment.
—J. Nodh was convicted of harbouring and relieving
the above Wm. Bull, after he had killed Long ; for
which he was sentenced to six months imprisonment.
Sarah Whiffin' who was tried for the murder of J.
Tilley, at Ringwood, was acquitted on the ground of
insanity. The total derangement of the wretched
woman s intellects wavelearly proved by several wit-
nesses, particularly by Mr. Lyford (Surgeon), the
Rev. Chaplain of the Jail, and the Jailor.
R. Wind was convicted of uttering forged notes of
the Andover Old Bank,And is left for execution. It
was clearly proved, that he passed a forged £5 note,
not only to J.Winscom, of Andover, but also a forged
£5 note to each of four other persons who bore testi-
mony against him ; and his guilty.knowledge was
apparent to the Court and Jury.
Elizabeth Harris and Sarah Roberts, who were
clearly convicted of the same crime as that of -R.
Wind, viz. passing of forged E 5 notes, of the Ando-
ver Old Bank, received sentence of death ; but upon
the intercession of the prosecutors and the Jury, the
Judge gave the two women hopes of mitigation.

BEADING ASSIZES.
POACHERS.

Tuesday, three men, named Osborne, Killia, and
Chase, were put to the bar, charged with poaching in
Windsor Park, and, with fire-arms, resisting the au-
thority of the Gamekeepers. Neighbour, one of the
poaching party, had turned Kings evidence. Osborne
was acquitted ; and Killith and Chase found Guilty
—Drum
Wednesday, Mr. Baron GAZROW took his seat on

t'leßench, for the pail:ore of sentencing the prisoners
whose punishments had not been determined at the
time of their conviction. When they were placed at
the Bar, his Lordship addressed them in a strain of i
eloquence which deeply affected the whole Court.
James Fletcher (a poacher), a stout-looking man,
had lost a leg at the battle of Waterloo, for which he
enjoys a pension, and had the honorary medal hang-
ing.at his breast, which his Lordship did not fail to
notice, when he directed his attention particularly to
him. Killick was in tears, and seemed deeply affected,
nor did the promise that his life would be spared ap-
pear to give him much consolatiOts, as it was accom•
panned with the declaration that he must be trans-
ported for ever from his country.
A similar announcement, that their lives would be
spared, was made to all on whom sentence of death
was passed excepting William Wapshat, to whom his
Lordship would give no hope of mercy, as he was
an old offender.

Tait Aurzia.—The lamentable indilrerence, or
ignorance of Jurymen, in regard to the importance
and, nature of their duties, -renders it necessary that
all parties concerted in suits at law, or whe are under
accusation, should give free circulation to Sir Richard
Phillips's Golden Rules for Jurymen, which, for this
purpose, are sold at 1 s. each, or 10s. 6d. the dozen.

At the conclusion of the Northampton Assizes the
Judges, DALLAS and RICHARDSON, proceeded to
Lincoln to open their Commission, previous to which
there Lordships arid the Gentlemen on the Midland
Circuit, were entertained at dinner at Belton, the seat
of Earl Baow. scow.
Saturday morning, Philip Haynes and Mary Clark
were executed at Northampton, for the murder of J.
Clark, husband of the latter, under circumstances of
shocking atrocity : they were both respectable look-
ing persons, behaved with great fortitude, and ac-
knowledged their guilt : after hanging the usual time,
their bodies were delivered for dissection. A vast
crowd assembled to witness their fatal exit.

Mewou-House.--Three, men were yesterday
brought before the LORD MAYOR, and underwent an
examination on a charge of having robbed the silk
warehouse of Messrs. Dosat and Co. Bishopsgate-
street, of silk to the amount of between six and seven
hundred pounds. They were fully committed for
trial, and one person was held to bail to give evidence.
Bow-STREET.—Friday last information was re-
ceived at this Office of a person of the name of Kopf
having left Leipsic improperly with the sum of
£30,000 in gold ; he was traced by two persons from
that place to England, but it was- undiscovered at
what port he landed. An application was made on
Saturday afternoon to the Sitting Magistrate, for an
Officer to be sent to Gravesend, as it wasiuspected that'
he was at that place, and Lavender, one of the prin-
cipal Officers, was immediately sent there, who, from
intelligence he gained, immediately returned to Lon-
don, and early 'on Sunday morning proceeded with
all possible dispatch to Liverpool, where he suc-
ceeded in taking Mr. Kopf, and also two travelling
portmanteaus, which contained upwards of £30,000 in
gold, and they arrived at this office about seven o'cloCk
yesterday evening. Mr. Kopf remains in custody.
LAVENDIR, the Bow-street officer, has been ap-
pointed Deputy High Constable for Manchester, in
the room of News, resigned.

FlRE.—Late on Saturday night, an alarming Ere
broke out at the house of Mr. Hamer, oil and colour-
man, corner of Love-lane, Ratcliffe. The inmates,
who were buried in sleep, were roused, but the flames
were then at such a height that there was no possibi-
lity of their escaping down stairs; ladders being at
length procured, and placed against the second floor
windows, the family were taken into the street, and
obtained shelter at the house of a neighbour. The
premises were in a short time reduced to a heap of
ruins, together with the whole of the furniture and
stock in trade.
REMARKABLE CASE Olt FREDERICK WRITE.—The
circumstances of the case of Frederick White, whose
life has 'been so providentially preserved, through the
humane and persevering exertions of Mr. Sheriff
WAITUMAx, having excited considerable interest, the
following additional particulars respecting him will,
no doubt, be acceptable to our Readers:"

Young White, when quite a child, evinced great talent as a
dancer, and was indeed considered a little prodigy, While under
the tuition of DIDZLOT he performed the part of Cupid in the
ballet of the Marriage of Zephyr and Flora, at tbe.Opera, with
great applause. He subsequently distinguished hinttelf under
the direction of Monsieur Bowozamto, the present acting ballet,
master, by his performances before the Foreign Potentates, on
their visit to the Opera House, during the time of their stay in
this country.
With Drown be was a particular favourite, who, with a
view of doing him future service in his profession,i furnished the
boy's mother, on his quitting this country, with a certificate, of
which the following is a translation :
. . .

" I certify that lade White is the child, who, under my direc-
tion, played the part of Cupid, in the ballet of the Marriage of
Zephyr and Flora. In testimony of whirls I have delivered him
the present certificate. " C. Dummy.
a Londo,

_, August 18, 1813."
Soon after this period Frederick wen placed at a respectable
school in the country, and has received a good education. 04
quitting school his inclination still running towards his former
pursuits, his frame of body not fitting him for more laborious
employment, he resumed his profession, and had latterly been
engaged at the Norwich Theatre, which he had recently quitted
and returned to his parents, when this unhappy affair occurred.
Mr. Banister, the manager of the Norwich company, on hearing
of his misfortunes, unsolicited wrote to White's mother, giving
him an excellent character, and expressing his readiness to re-
engage him, if he should be fortunate enough to get through his
troubles. Besides his talent in hisprofessien.as a dancer, he has
a good taste for music, possesses an excellent understanding, and
is of a kind and ingenuous disposition.
Mr. %dramas solicitude for the youth's welfare did not
terminate with his imprisonment. After receiving the
intelligence tif his free pardon, White remained in thy=
night, and in the morning the•Sberiff accompanied Mtn to
[thuds. Their flit visit was to the Opera House, *here Fro-
derick's sister is engaged, and was expected to be attending
rehearsal, with the view more particularly, on the part of the
'Sheriff, of seeing Monsieur Boistniaass, in order to procure an
engagement for the youth ander his old tutor. On their arrival
they were ;hewn into a waiting room, where they were soon
joined by the sister; Who was called from rehearsaL The inter-
view is easier to lie conceived than described. On entering the
room die exclaimed, with indescribable emotion, " Oh, Fred e
and threw herself into the arms of her brother; they remained
soon minutes mutually embracing each other in silence, relieved
Only by tears. She at length turned towards Mr. Wernnutt,
sensed his band, but utterance was still denied her; and she
could only express her gratinide by the eloquence of her coun-
tenance and manner.
