CROWN COURT.—YESTERDAY.
The Lord Chief Baron took his seat at eight o'clock.

HORSE STEALING AT BOLTON

John Wilkinson (55) was indicted for having at Elton,
near Bolton, feloniously stolen a horse, the property of
John Scholfield.
It appeared that on the 26th of last March, a person
named Kaye, who had previously borrowed the animal
from the prosecutor, was about to send it home by a little
boy, when the prisoner came and offered to go with the
horse and deliver it to the owner for the sum of 6d. The
prisoner, however, instead of taking it to Scholefield sold
it for 12s 9d, the actual value being about £2.
The Judge observed that the prisoner was charged, in
the indictment, with stealing a horse, whereas he had
stolen a mare. If it should affect his case, he was enti-
tled to the benefit of it. [lt turned out, however, that the
indictment was good.] The Jury convicted the prisoner,
but recommended him to mercy, and he was sentenced
to three months imprisonment and hard labour.

ASSAULT AND HIGHWAY ROBBERY, AT MANCHESTER.
Joseph Forster, (18,) and Thomas Smith, (18,) were in-
dicted for having, at Manchester, feloniously assaulted
Ensign John Davies, and robbed him of a watch, watch-
guard, and key.
Mr. Cardwell conducted the case for the prosecution ;
Mr. Wilkins defended Smith; the other prisoner was un-
defended.

It appeared that the robbery and assault were commit-
ted on the persons of three ensigns in her Majesty's 32d
Regiment of Foot, stationed at Salford, on the night of
Tuesday, the 2d of April. On that night, the three en-
signs, Davies, Laurie and Birtwistle, were returning from
dinner to their quarters at a late hour, and when they ar-
rived opposite the Manchester Infirmary, at the top of
Piccadilly, they were suddenly attacked, without giving
the slightest provocation, by a number of persons. In
the course of the scuffle, Davies lost his watch. Subse-
quently, however, he found it lying on the ground ; but
when it was regained, its gold chain and key appendages
were missing. The only question in the case was, as to
the identity of the prisoners. With regard to Forster, it
appeared that Davies never lost sight of him from the
time of the attack until he was arrested by the police.
With regard to the identity of Smith, a young woman
who was present, and knew him well, deposed that he
was one of the parties engaged in the attack ; and in order
to corroborate her testimony, Smith's conduct when ar-
rested, and his conversations with the police, were detailed
to the jury.
The Judge conceived there was no evidence to support
the charge against Smith ; and the jury, after a few mi-
nutes' consultation, acquitted both the prisoners, and
they were discharged after a suitable admonition from the
court.

VARIETIES.

Lord Eldon's first journey from Newcastle to London
was in a fly, which was considered a miracle of velocity,
as it only took four days and four nights to accomplish
the distance!
It is stated that on the occasion of the last visit of
Queen Victoria to the Ancient Concerts, at the Hanover
Square Rooms, when the King of Saxony was present, the
room was ventilated by air passed through trays of ice. It
is said that ventilation may be effected by means of the
Archimedian screw, without the slightest perceptible
draught.
CLEANING SILK.—The following directions for clean-
I ing silks are by one of the first Parisian dyers :—Half a
pound of soft soap, a teaspoonful of brandy, and a pint of
gin ; mix all well together ; with a sponge or flannel
spread the mixture on each side of the silk without
creasing it ; wash it in two or three waters, and iron it on
the wrong side—it will then look as good as new.
CRIMINAL LUNATICS.—The number of criminal luna-
tics at present immured withi❑ the gaols of Great Bri-
tain, amounts to 117, the crimes committed by whom,
while labouring under " morbid delusions," comprise all
sorts of offences both against person and property. One
man, named David Davis, is confined in consequence of
having fired at Viscount Palmerston, M.P. in the year
1818.
OVERWORKED CHANCELLORS.—ThurIow, on being
asked how he got through all his business as a chancellor,
answered, " Just as a pickpocket gets through a horse-
pond—he must get through." Dunning, when a similar
question was put to him, answered in much the same spi-
rit, though in a more professional style : " I divide my
business into three parts : one part I do ; another does
itself; and the third goes undone."
REMARKABLE REPEATING WATCH.—In the Academy
of Sciences at St. Petersburgh, in Russia, is a repeating
watch about the size of an egg. Within is presented the
Redeemer's tomb, with the stone at the entrance, and the
sentinels; and, while a spectator is admiring this curious
piece of mechanism, the stone is suddenly removed, the
sentinels drop down, the angels appear, the women enter
the sepulchre, and the same chant is heard which is per-
formed in the Greek church on Easter eve.
MANUFACTURE OF WATCHES AT GENEVA.—The
manufacture of watches, musical boxes, and jewellery, is
that to which Geneva owes its present prosperity. Up-
wards of fifty workshops devoted to watcnmaking, and
seventy to the jeweller's trade, are kept in constant em-
ployment ; and it has been calculated that in good years
seventy-five thousand ounces of gold, five thousand marks
of silver, and precious stones to the value of a million of
francs, are used in them. One hundred thousand watches
are said to be now annually manufactured in Geneva.

BURGLARY AT STALYBRIDGE,

fames Connor, (18,) was indicted for having, at Staly-
bridge, burglariously broken and entered the dwelling-
house of Frank Howard, with intent to steal his property.
Mr. Wigharn conducted the case for the prosecution:
the prisoner was defended by Mr. Monck.
It appeared that the prosecutor occupied a house at the
place above mentioned, and that a person named Hayes
lived with him. During the night of the 21st of May,
shortly after twelve o'clock, they were awoke by the
barking of a dog, and on one of them getting up to as-
certain the cause, a person resembling the prisoner was
seen going up stairs, without bat or shoes. Immediately
after having succeeded in getting to the top of the stairs,
he made a stumble, and, fancying the noise might lead to
his discovery, he opened a window, and succeeded in
making his escape. Hayes then went out and saw the
prisoner, whom he had known for some time, in the act
of running away.
The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to twelve
calendar months' imprisonment and hard labour.

verai different times, the goods were delivered at the ware-
house of Messrs. Cook and Unswortb, where the defend-
ant occupied some rooms. At the latter end of the month
application was made for the payment, but the answer
was, that the goods delivered were of very inferior quality
as compared with the samples shown by the plaintiff. The
plaintiff subsequently admitted that the article was some-
what inferior to what had been shown in the sample, but
offered to take them back on certain conditions ; but the
defendant being in London, this was not acceded to, and
ultimately the present action was commenced. The de-
fence was, that the article was of an inferior quality.
The Learned JUDGE, in his summing up, explained to
the jury that the only question for their consideration was
whether the defendant, by his not having returned the
goods on finding them of inferior quality to what be had
been led to expect, had not legally accepted them. Upon
finding them bad quality he should immediately have re-
turned them ; but this he bad not done. It was, how-
ever, very clear that the article had not been of such a
quality as the sample shown to the defendant, when
making the bargain; and if the jury found a verdict for
the plaintiff, they would take that fact into consideration,
and find damages only for the real value of the goods, and
not what had been specified in the original contract.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, with the de-
duction of two-and-a-half per cent. and the seven months'
loss of interest to the plaintiff.

CROWN COURT.-SATURDAY

Joseph Walton, aged 19. charged with having wounded William
Lees, at Ashton-under-Lyne, in June last, with intent to do him
some grievous bodily harm, was found guilty of a common assault
only.
Joseph Farrell, 54, was found guilty of having caused the death
of his wife, at Manchester. The prisoner and deceased had quar-
relled on the 21st of July, when some things were thrown by both
parties, after which, the prisoner struck deceased a blow on the
head, which caused her to fall on the floor, in which state she was
found by the neighbours. She died on the Ist of August in conse-
quence of the injuries. A daughter of the prisoner witnessed the
occurrence, and said that the prisoner received great provocation.
Sentence deferred.
Edward Maylett, 25, charged with having caused the death of a
boy, named Thomas O'Donnell, by pushing him into the canal at
Manchester, on the 23d July last, was acquitted. It appeared that
the prisoner gave deceased a push, but that his fall into the canal
was the result of mere accident.
In the case of George Branscombe, charged, under three indict-
ments, with having caused the death of James M`Donald and
Bridget Hart, at Bolton, from want of due care in the management
of a steam-engine, by which the boiler unfortunately burst, the
Grand Jury cut the bill.
Thomas Butterworth, 33, charged with having entered the house
of Mr. Robinson, at Manchester, and stolen five dresses, some
jewellery, and other articles, in April last. The charge of burglary
was not made out, and a verdict of larceny against the prisoner
was returned.

William Riley, 22, and Catharine Carter, 20, were charged, the
former with having stolen certain property from the dwelling-house
of Elizabeth Dicken, of Manchester, and the latter with having re-
ceived the goods, knowing them to have been stolen. The prisoners
were found guilty
Riley had been previously convicted of felony.

VARIETIES.

Lord Eldon's first journey from Newcastle to London
was in a fly, which was considered a miracle of velocity,
as it only took four days and four nights to accomplish
the distance!
It is stated that on the occasion of the last visit of
Queen Victoria to the Ancient Concerts, at the Hanover
Square Rooms, when the King of Saxony was present, the
room was ventilated by air passed through trays of ice. It
is said that ventilation may be effected by means of the
Archimedian screw, without the slightest perceptible
draught.

CLEANING SILK.—The following directions for clean-
ing silks are by one of the first Parisian dyers :—Half a
pound of soft soap, a teaspoonful of brandy, and a pint of
gin ; mix all well together ; with a sponge or flannel
spread the mixture on each side of the silk without
creasing it ; wash it in two or three waters, and iron it on
the wrong side—it will then look as good as new.
CRIMINAL LUNATICS.—The number of criminal luna-
tics at present immured within the gaols of Great Bri-
tain, amounts to 117, the crimes committed by whom,
while labouring under `• morbid delusions," comprise all
sorts of offences both against person and property. One
man, named David Davis, is confined in consequence of
having fired at Viscount Palmerston, M.P. in the year
1818.

OVERWORKED CHANCELLORS.—ThurIow, on being
asked how he got through all his business as a chancellor,
answered, " Just as a pickpocket gets through a horse-
pond—he must get through." Dunning, when a similar
question was put to him, answered in much the same spi-
rit, though in a more professional style : " I divide my
business into three parts ; one part I do ; another does
itself; and the third goes undone."
REMARKABLE REPEATING WATCH.—In the Academy
of Sciences at St. Petersburgh, in Russia, is a repeating
watch about the size of an egg. Within is presented the
Redeemer's tomb, with the stone at the entrance, and the
sentinels ; and, while a spectator is admiring this curious
piece of mechanism, the stone is suddenly removed, the
sentinels drop down, the angels appear, the women enter
the sepulchre, and the same chant is heard which is per-
formed in the Greek church on Easter eve.
MANUFACTURE OF WATCHES AT GENEVA.—The
manufacture of watches, musical boxes, and jewellery, is
that to which Geneva owes its present prosperity. Up-
wards of fifty workshops devoted to watchmaking, and
seventy to the jeweller's trade, are kept in constant em-
ployment ; and it has been calculated that in good years
seventy-five thousand ounces of gold, five thousand marks
of silver, and precious stones to the value of a million of
francs, are used in them. One hundred thousand watches
are said to be now annually manufactured in Geneva.

ASSAULT AT PRESTWICH.

Daniel Slace (26) and Charles Eyres (23) were indicted
for having, at Prestwich-cum-Oldham, feloniously as-
saulted William Ralphs, and stolen from his person six-
pence.
Mr. Brandt conducted the case for the prosecutor ; the
prisoners were defended by Mr. James.
It appeared that on the night of the 12th of June, the
prosecutor, who lives at Whitefield, between Manchester
and Bury, was on his way home from the former town ; he
was met by the two prisoners, who are soldiers in the Bth
Regiment of Foot, one of whom threw him down and took
sixpence from his person.
The prisoners were acquitted.
HORSE STEALING AT OLDHAM.

John King (34) was indicted for having, at Oldbam,
feloniously stolen a gelding, the property of Joseph and
William Buckley.
It appeared that the prosecutors are coach proprietors,
and that they have a farm in the neighbourhood of Old-
ham, where they keep their horses. The prisoner was
formerly in their employ, and was discharged last summer
twelve months. Soon after he went to the farm, and said
his late employers had sent him for a gelding, which was
known by the name of " Captain." The gelding was got
out, the prisoner rode off, and nothing was heard of him
till the 19th of June last, a year-and-a-half after the trans-
action, when Buckley met the prisoner at Southport, and
gave him into custody.

morning it was discovered that the house had been en-
tered, and that the spoons were missing. Two days after,

Spotland, held by the defendant as tenant to the plainw"
who were brothers. He was sorry that such a trill
case had been brought there, but it was not the fault
the plaintiff. He had sought a cheap and expeditious re'
medy in the county court : but it was the will of the de"
fendant to bring the case to the assizes, and there it Was'
The JUDGE—Didn't you say they were brothers?
Mr. MARTIN.—Yes, my lord, and they have been (10'

The JUDGE.—CouId not the case be settled out Of

Mr. Martin and Mr. Watson thought that it might.
The JUDGE.—Why, they ought to be ashamed 0'

It was ultimately arranged that a verdict should b 0
taken for the plaintiff for £5 16s. Bd., and that theye
should be a reference for the purpose of dividing the farm'
and the quarry on it between the litigating brothers.

AMERICANISMS.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES.
The following morceaux head the political appeals of
the respective parties in the newspapers, &c.:—
" Look here, ye supporters of Polk, Texas, and Free
Trade!
Here's a booming gun from the old Pennsylvania line!!!"
" Get out of the way, you James K. Polk,
You wont go down with the Tariff Folk !"
" Renunciations by wholesale—twenty-one screws loose
in old Northumberland—are there no changes ? eh ?"
" They come ! they come!! clear the way !! ! make
room for more !!!!
" Thirty-two straight-outs."
" Make way for the free voters of Northumberland and
Point ! Clear the track for the unterrified come
, outers' of the Forks! Here they come, with Truth
for a Sword, and Conscience for their Buckler, in the
name of the greatest political Revolution that this little
neighbourhood has ever witnessed."

HARD RUN FOR HUSBANDS.—An exchange paper says
—" The girls in some parts of Pennsylvania are so hard
run for husbands that they sometimes take up with law-
yers and tailors."
A large lot of American oysters being carried to Lon-
don by one of the late packets, the papers made them-
selves very funny over them, saying that of course they
would not " shell out," coming as they did from the
United States.
