tions.—Here the evidence for the prosecution closed;
and the prisorer being asked in the usual terms what
.he hid to say, replied, " I leave my defence to my
' Counsellors." It was unsuccessfully attempted by
several witnesses to prove an alibi.
The RICORDER then summed up the evidence in a
most impartial manner. He explained the law to be
that if a person threw A stone with the intent only to
inflict a put tial mischief, and death ensued, the crime
would be murder.

The Jury retired, and after remaining in &libel*.

During the whole of the trial the prisoner paid
great attention to the evidence, but without fetraying
the slightest emotion of any kind. When the verdict
was pronounced, he dropped a few tears, and put hit
handkerchief m his face twice.

The prisoner's Counsel then took an objectiOa t 4
the form of the indictment, which stated that the de:

and also during 'the same period in another County ;
whereas, it was contended, that there ought to have
been two distinct periods specified. After hearing
Counsel on both sides, the objection was over-ruled,
The RECORDER then addressed the prisoner. He
observed, that after a severe and painful investigation,
the prisoner had been found guilty of wilful murder,
and of murder under very aggravated circumstances.
yt (ter remarking that the prisoner had been instigmed
to thPcrime by the refusal of the young woman to
yield to his improper solicitations, and on the neces-
sity of restraining such passions as those which had
brought him to the Bar where he now voile!, he con-
jured the prisoner to prepare himef for the presence
of that JUDGE to whom the secrets of all hearts art
known. The Learned Judge, then, in a faltering voice,
and almost overwhelmed by the intensity of his feel-
ings, pronounced the awful sentence of death in the
usual terms.—We gave an account of the execution

A hand of robbers had for some time past attested
the frontiers of France ; their place of rendezvous was
the valley of Rivas, in Spain, at a short oistai.ce from
the French territory- ; it was composed of 200 per-
sons, armed, but without any uniform. The band
ravaged w hole villages, and visited every isolated
place where they were likely to succeed. The rob.
bbers have at length been entirely dispersed or exter-
minated by the Militia and inhabitants of the Pro-
vinces. Ow the 30th of last March no fewer than
fourteen of these banditti were surprised at a farm.
house ; they were fired upon, and all of them killed
on the spot !

Thursday afternoon, a child about four years of
age (son of H. Ball, labourer, residing on the Green
' near Gillingham Church, Kent), had been mining
about a quarter of an hour, when his mother on
searching fur him, discovered that the lid of the well
had disappeared, and looking in (her feelings canna
be described) she heard her child, who saw her die•
tinctly, cry, "0, mother, take me up!" The ago.
nised parent instantly alarmed some men employed
in building stalls for the fair, whey Mr. Jarvis, of tle
Five Bells public-hpuse, procured I)rope, went down,
and brought the little creature up, much bruised,
but not seriously injured. It appears, the child sup•
ported himself above water by taking hold of the
floating lid of the well, and by his hair not being
wet, it is conjectured that he must have descended
after the well lid. The well is above 100 feet deep.

Tuesday, a dreadful and fatal accident occurred et
Brighton. As a person named Cutlass, was driving
a cart loaded with bricks past the North-street, end
of Bond-street, a child, a girl nearly six years old,
Amelia Ellis, of poor parents, in crossing from the
latter, run against the leader of the two horses and
fell, when a wheel of the ponderously loaded vehicle
passed over her head, crushed it, and left a portico
61 the brain on the road. The driver made two efforts
to save the child before the wheel reached it, and had
not the clothes given way to the grasp of his hand in
the latter, it is supposed that he would have been suc-
cessful. The poor fellow was dreadfully hurt at the
shocking catastrophe, which was as sudden as serve,
and was neither to be foreseen nor prevented. Cora

Thursday se'nnight, two farm-houses, in the neigh-
bourhood of Coolyhenan, occupied by a herdsman
and dairyman, in the employment of George Gloster,
Esq. were attacked by a gang of men in searchof
arms; from the herdsman they took a bayonet, and
at the dairyman's house, not finding arms, they left
an injunction for him to quit or prepare his coed
against Sunday night, as they were determined the
no intruder or stranger should be permitted to
remain there.
