THE LATE ATTEMPTED MURDER AT LUDLOW,

(From the Salopian Journal of Wednesday.)

We subjoin the following letter, written yesterday, from a
valued correspondent :
LUDLOW, TUESDAY MORNING.—The excitement caused
by the attempt to murder Mr. Mackreth is unabated, and the
subject may be said to supply exclusive matter for conversa-
tion. Misters continues in custody, and will be brought up
to the Guildhall to-morrow, when additional evidence will be
brought forward. It is curious that Mr. Ludlow, Mr. Thos.
Jobson, and Mr. Lakin have not yet been examined, though
it is clear that their testimony is calculated to throw addi-
tional light upon this mysterious and horrible affair.
The medical gentlemen report that Mr. Mackreth, the
sufferer, is doing as well as can be expected. The wounds on
his cheeks are in a way to heal soon, but the wound in his
throat is dangerous. _ . .

RAWDON AND ANOTHER V. BARRY

Mr. CROMPTON said the circumstances of this action were
the same as in the last, and he dared say the defendant's plea
was equally true. It was brought to recover £314 6s. 6d.
due upon a bill of exchange. A verdict was returned for the
Mr. CROMPTON applied for immediate execution, on the
ground that there was not the slightest pretence for the pleas
set up by the defendant.
. . .

MI. WATSON said, if his witnesses had been in attendance
he should have been able to have established the pleas.

Mr. Baron ROLFE said he would grant execution in the
same way as in other ur defended causes—in a fortnight from
the commencement of the assizes.

STEPHENSON V. BERRY.

The plaintiff in this case is a type-founder at Sheffield, and
the defendant is a printer, carrying on business at Clitheroe.
The action was brought to recover £99 9s. 6d., for type sold
and delivered. A verdict was returned for the plaintiff for
the amount claimed.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-08-21

BELLIS V. COWARD

This was an undefended action brought by John Bellis, a
horse-dealer, of Staffordshire, to recover £42, the value of
three horses sold to the defendant, James Coward. The de-
fendant pleaded that he was not indebted. The sale and
amount were proved by the signature of the defendant to the
contract. Verdict for the plaintiff; damages £42.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-08-21

been once 0440olsed, The witness replied "
for?" asked the .prisoner. Witness-7" Because you came
to the cellar SO often. The neighbours-knew you had a bad
name for ' making money,' and they suspected use because
you came to my cellar."' (Laughter.) • The prisoner cross-
examined Kennedy at some lengtlr. He- directed him to take
the belt from his waist, which Kennedy did very readily. He
said he wore it to strengthen his back, and when he travelled
he secreted his Money in the pockets.. The-prisoner, how-
ever, persisted that Kenr.edy had used these pockets for.se-
creting bad coin. The prisoner asked Kennedy many ques-
tions tending to implicate him in felonious transactions : all
tie insinuations and assertions of. the prisoner to this intent
were steadily denied by the witness. Amongst other ques
tions, the prisoner
_asked, " What was the reason that you
refused to sell me some bad shillings in May last." " You
never asked me any such questions," said Kennedy—" if
you had I'd ha' knocked you o'er very soon ; an' that you
know." One of the sergeants of the Manchester police
proved that the prisoner had said, when taken into custody
for the assault, that he would lagg (transport) Kennedy be-
fore he died. The prisoner broadly stated. that Kennedy had
been tried at the Chester Assizes some years ago, under the
name of Valentine, for counterfeith,g, for the truth of which
he referred to Mr. Powell, inspector of coins for the Mint.
Mr. Powell knew nothing whatever of Kennedy.
The prisoner addressed the jury at some length, principally
with a view to shew that Kennedy had been long engaged in
coining, and that the police had not duly attended to the in-
formation which he gave them; or he would have been de-
tected. The prisoner called a witness (a boy twelve years
old), to prove that he had seen Kennedy " making money."
The lad stated that Kennedy's son took him down to the cel-
lar one day, when he saw Kennedy turning money from " a
chalk thing" upon the hearth, and that upon Kennedy see-
ing him (witness), he said, " Take that kid out ; he's too
old-fashioned to be here." On cross-examination many
discrepancies appeared in the testimony of this witness.
The jury retired at ten minutes to five o'clock, the trial
having occupied six hours. They returned in ten minutes,
and delivered in a verdict of Guilty.

"'What

Mr. Sergeant ATCHEILLY obserired, that a similar case
occurred last assizes but one, the first he had ever seen.

His LoRnsHIP observed that he perfectly concurred in the
verdict, and animadverted in strong terms on the magnitude
of the offence. The prisoner was sentenced to transportation
for life.

MULGRAVE V. WORRALL

The plaintiff, in this case, was John Mulgrave, an Irish
labourer, and the action was brought to recover £2-1 from
John Worrall, a farmer of Halewood, for work and labour
done.

Mr. Martin appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Wightman
and Mr. Whigham for the defendant.
The witness, on behalf of the plaintiff, stated, that Mul-
grave had worked during the years 1829, 1830, 1831, and
1832, and that he had subsequently been engaged by him in
1834, 1835, and 1836, during the two latter years of which the
plaintiff had suffered his wages to accumulate in his master's
hands. It was assumed, that the wages, during 1835, were
and during 1836 £l3 per annum ; but the proof on these
points did not come out. It was stated, that the defendant
had admitted, from time to time, that he owed the plaintiff
upwards of £2O. On behalf of the defendant it was con-
tended, that the whole evidence produced by the plaintiff was
a fabrication, and witnesses were called to show, that
though Mulgrave had been employed by Worrall at different
times he had always been paid. A document was also pro-
duced, showing that, in July last, the plaintiff only claimed
£lO, which it was contended had been paid in a sum of
£ll 155., which the defendant's man swore he had seen paid.
The latter, on cross-examination was asked if he had not re-
quested his brother-in-law, who was not called as a witness
in the main case, not to appear in court, as it would " break
the old man," (the defendant.) He, (the defendant's son,)
said l►e had requested his brother-in-law not to appear, but
it was on the ground that it would make mischief in the
family. The brother-in-law was called by Mr. Martin. He
said that young Worrall had requested him not to appear be-
cause it would " break the old man if he had to pay Mul-
grave's wages."
Mr. WIGUT3AAN, in the reply which he was entitled to
make, on this witness being called, contended that the wit-
ness was unworthy of credit.

Mr. MARTIN, in return, called on the Jury to believe that
all the witnesses for the defence were unworthy of credit,
and that the paper produced was a mere fabrication, got up
for the purpose of evading the payment of the sum due to the
plaintiff.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff ; damages £24.

The jury found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter

The 'Wined Junco; severely commented on the conduct of
the prisoner, through whom the deceased had come to his
death. He would not be doing his duty to society did he
not. visit the offence with severity. The sentence of the
court was that he should be imprisoned and kept to hard la-
bour in the House of Correction for the county, for eighteen
calendar months.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, AUGUST 18,

The imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland, since

UTTERING COUNTERFEIT COIN

Sarah Boyle, alias Catherine Boyle, aged 46, was charged
with having unlawfully uttered a counterfeit shilling in this
town on the 22nd July last. .

The counsel for the prosecution were the same as in the
last! case. ,

It appeared that on the 22nd July last, the prisoner went
to a public-house or spirit shop, kept by a person named
Darlington, in Great Charlotte-street. She asked for a glass
of whiskey, in payment of which she tendered a good half-
crown. and received 2a. 3d. change. She returned what she
wished it to be supposed was one of the shillings, and asked
to have change for it. There was some doubt about this
shilling, and a Mr. Birch, who stood by, was appq,aled to,
who pronounced it to be a• bad one. The prisoner stood near
the dripper, which was behind the counter, and in the drip-
per was found a piece of rag which contained three counter-
feit shillings, which had been cast from the same mould as
the bad shilling which the prisoner had tendered for change.
The prisoner• was hereupon given into the custody of an
officer.

The jury found the prisoner guilty of uttering one shilling,
knowing it to be base. She was sentenced to six mouths'
imprisonment and hard labour, in the House of Correction
at Kirkdale. _ _ _

—Moses Ashworth, convicted of manslaughter on Monday,
was sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard
labour, at Kirkdale. _ _

The'court adjourned at six o'clock

RAYNER V. ARCHER

Joseph Rayner was the plaintiff, and John Archer the de-
fendant. The action was brought to recover the amount of
£l9 3e. Bd. and interest on a bill of exchange, and £l5 for
money lent. The defendant pleaded in respect to the bill of
exchange that he did not accept, and on the alleged loan that
he was not indebted. Joseph Williamson Westmoreland,
attorney for the plaintiff, proved that the defendant had ad-

mitted the debt bith the till and the loan. The interest
on the bill was £1 is. 9d., making the total debt on that ac-
count £2O 115.5 d. This, with the £l5 lent, made £33 l ls. 5d.,
for which amount the Jury returned a verdict in favour of

the plaintiff

SIR BENJAMIN SMITH V. JENNINGS

This action was brought to recover £BlO arrears of an an-
nuity. The defendant had covenanted to pay the money, but
he pleaded a release. As he did not appear in court to prove
his plea, it fell to the ground. Verdict for the plainlitT, 4:810.

NEW SOUTH WALES.-PROGRESS OF THE
COLONY.

(From the Sydney Gazette of April 2.)
The subjoined quarterly table, sheaving the number of
ships, merchandise, immigrants, and prisoners, &c., enables
the• reader to form some notion of the commerce of this co-
lony, because the items enumerated have.reference to this
colony exclusively. When we published the table for the
year ending December,
,1839, we estimated the merchandize
imported at £2O per ton ; but a commercial friend has assur-
ed us that we should be within the truth by taking £5O as
the average value of the merchandize imported into this co-
lony. Coitsequently, within the last three months the colony
has received an increase to its wealth equal to £1,039,450,
estimating every cabin passenger at £2OO, and every immi-
grant at £5O, and every ton of merchandize at:4:so. The
value of our exports we cannot at present ascertain, but these
are considerable : 1840,

WARD V. CARSON

This action was brought by Mr. Edmund Ward, attorney,
against Robert Carson, a publican, to recover £7 17s. 6d., a
balance of account for work and labour done. The defend-
ant pleaded that he was not indebted.
The action was undefended.

The plaintiff is an attorney at Prescot, and the defendant,
a publican at Wigan. The defendant formerly bought his
ale from Messrs. Birchall and Cross, brewers. In the year
1835, Alexander Smith, who travelled for Messrs. Birchall
and Cross, called upon Mr. Carson for orders as usual.
Carson showed Smith a promissory note from person named
Parkin, of Liverpool, and requested him to call and get the
amount for him. Smith was unable to get the money, and
he received orders from Carson to take legal measures for the
recovery thereof. Mr. Ward, being the attorney for Messrs.
Birchall and Cross, the case was put into his hands, and the
action was ultimately settled. The taxed bill from Mr. Ward
was £l7 17s. 6d., of which £lO had been paid, leaving a
balance of. £7 17s. 6d. due.

The above facts having been proved on the evidence of Mr.
Smith and Mr. Thomas Oliver, Mr. Ward's London agent,
the jury returned for the plaintiff damages £7 17s. 6d.
