HOUR CIRCUIT.-* IDSTONE. Amor 10.
Before Mr. Jestlee GAULS,.

Thomas Burroughs was indicted for breaking and en-
tering the dwelling-house of G. P. Pirkia, watchmaker,
at Stroud, near Rochester, and stealing a watch. The
prisoner was passing along the street, and thrusting his
arm through a pane of glass in Mr. Pirkis's shop win-
dow, seized a watch, and pocketed it. He was instantly
taken into custody, and the watch found on his person.
He cross-examined all the witnesses secund,em artem,
and made a vehement appeal to the Jury ; but neither his
eloquence nor his ingenuity availed him, for the Jury in
stantly found him Guilty, and sentence of Death was
recorded against him.
David Gilbert was indicted for having killed and
stolen a sheep, the property of John Baker Sladen, at
Old Romney. Mr. Sladen's shepherd missed one sheep
out of a flock of twenty belonging to his master, on Rom-
ney Marsh, and found the skin, entrails, and head of a
sheep near the pound. There were also footsteps about
the spot which led to the prisoner's house. A search
warrant having been procured, a quantity of mutton was
found in the house, which exactly corresponded with
the head and skin. The offence was committed in Feb-
ruary, 1828, but the prisoner was only taken into cus-
tody in the spring of the present year.—Guilty—Death
recorded.

A youth named Thomas Milsted was indicted for
stealing two bottles of wine, the property of George
Skinner, at Biddenden, under the following shocking
circumstances. The prisoner's father was a man of the
most abandoned character, and had encouraged his son to
commit crime. In the present case a hole had been made
in the wall of the cellar of the prosecutor's house (an inn),
and wine was continually missed from thence. The land-
lord, therefore, determined to watch, and saw an arm put
through the hole, and two bottles of wine were withdrawn.
He instantly ran out of the cellar, and detected the pri-
soner in the act of going off with the two bottles of wine,
but he could not say whether it was his or his father's
arm which was put through the hole, for the father was
drinking in the house about the time, and on hearing
that his son was taken instantly decamped.
The young man received a good character, and on the
prosecutor offering to take him into his service, the
Learned Judge fined him one shilling, and ordered him to
be discharged.
In the Nisi Prins Court no case of interest occurred.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—NOTTINGHAM, Aus. 11.
Cam &oa.—Before Lord TIOITILDIN sad a Town Jury.
Edward and Sarah Revill, an aged couple, Peter
Greasley, and Ann Sportox (children of Sarah Revill by
a former husband), were charged with having resisted
and shot William Middip, a Sheriff's officer, whilst he
was endeavouring to execute a writ of possession, by
ejecting the prisoners from a house in Park-street, in
this town.

Mr. CLARKE, for the prosecution, stated the case.—
The prisoners claimed a house in Park-street, the pro-
perty of a Mr. Nelson, who had brought en action of
ejectment against them, and having obtained a verdict,
proceeded to enforce it. A writ of possession was put
into the proper officer's hands, who, in executing it, was
obstructed and violently opposed by the two male pri-
soners, backed by the women, when ultimately one of his
assistants, William Middap, was shot with a pistol; for-
tunately it was pointed low, or the contents would have
entered his head ; as it was, a very severe wound was in-
flicted on the neck and breast.
Joseph Skidmore is agent to Mr. Nelson, the owner of
the house in Park. street. As agent, he brought the ac-
tion of ejectment against the prisoners for recovering
from them possession ; in this he succeeded, and taking
a writ of possession out, went with the proper ollicer to
execute it ; this was on the 2d of July last, at half-past
10 o'clock in the morning. When they got there the
door was fast, and on demanding entry, the prisoner Re-
vill was observed sharpening a large knife, with which,
on their telling him their business, he said he would
skewer them. Greasley was then seen at an upper win-
dow, and being told by witness to give up peaceable pos-
session, said he would defend his possession with his life,
and if they attempted to enter they must take the con-
sequences. Revill below, at the window of the kitchen,
said he would shoot the first man that entered the house.
Witness and the officer then went to get more aid, and
returned at two with a body of constables; on his re-
turn Greasley said out of the window, " Skidmore, 1
warn you not to enter—if you do you must, take the con-
sequences." The woman also appeared at the window,
and backed him. By this time a mob of one or two hun-
dred persons had collected, and the resistance and threats
being continued, witness' desired the officeks to force an
entry ; he retired a few paces, and presently saw Mid-
dap, who had been forcing a crowbar through the crevice
of the door and post, Stagger into a by-stander's arms,.
and led away by him bleeding.
Gibson, sergeant at mace to the Town Sheriffs' Court,
and other witnesses, were called, who stated nearly the
same facts as the one preceding.
On being called on for their defence, Revill handed a
paper in, which he desired might be read. His Coun-
sel (Mr. HILL) making an objection, the Clerk of the
Arraigns read it. The prisoner there stated that the house
in question was never Mr. Nelson's property, but had de-
scended to his wife From her Mier, who had.willed it
illegally away from her to an illegitimate child. Other
irrelevant matter was also contained in the paper, not
eisentiel to'tlie defence.
The other prisoners all ~declared their conviction (not-
withstanding the proceedings in law) that the house be-
longed to than, and complained loudly of the injustice of
►g them out. . .
"After a short constilfation, the Jury found a verdict of
Guilty of shooting, with intent to maim, against the two
'Men, and of abetting against the women.
' The J'uni; V. then put on the'blich cap. at which sight
'the women shrieked aloud, ttnd ihe'prisoner Greasley fell
llt the dock in a fit, whilst Revill remained apparently
unmoved. 'When Greisley was sufficiently recovered to
