NORM MPTON.
Northampton Assisrs, this week, produced a ter
heavy calendar of prisoners (45 in her), loamy
whom were for capital offences. Mr. Justice Best dill no
attend as was expected, owing to his being extremely ill
a few days before lie was ti have entered upon the cis-
cult ; Chief Justice Dallas, therefor•, presided. assisted'
by Mr. Clarke, the King's Counsel. in the trial of souse
of the prisoners. On the Nisi Prier side eleven causes
were entered, not any of which were of interest or ren•
sentience, bit to the parties concernest, except that of
Platel, gent. C. Thred, Clerk, in a hich there was some
expectation of great legal argument and severe ani-
tnadversots from the detenolant's Counsel, Mr. Clarke;
but the plaintiff, at the suggestion of Mr. Denman, his
Counsel, WAS /00N/liiied.

The ...twit. of action arose out of an alleged agreement

fendant (.t clergyman at blip, near Thrapstoon). run

upon, and the procuring of one part of the agreetnetit

the plaintiff. The Judge made a shirt remark, con:.
plimenting Mr. I.k ratan for the prudent manner in
which he had pot no end to such a ease.

.411 every thing connerted with the Cato-street affair is
no doubt interesting to our readers, we present them
with an account of Thistlewood's escape from thence:—
Having esi-aped fr. . the loft by a trap-dour at the
top, he Jumped into the yard of one of else houses in
John-street. The brick that lie jumped was so consi-
derable, that few men would have ventured on the ex-
periment made by Thistlen owl, but in circumstances as
desperate as his were at that moment. Descending
into the yard of the second house from the corner of
'ato-street, lee attempted to burst in aT the hark entrance,
nit!, a view of !meting through to John-street; but here
he was toiled, as the back door was fastened. In this
situation be manifested considerable presence of mind.
Having knocked I Ily at the door, when lie was an-
swered by the people from within, he demanded admit-
tance. those to is I he addressed himself, alarmed
perbeps by the firing which had just hems heard in the
loft, hesitated to open the door, ;then he called to them
that he oats an officer in pursuit of the iillains who haul
jest qiiit:rd the loft, and if the door were not instantly
immwd, he would break it down, as on inch an invasion
lie had authority to do so. Itis andacity vantoished
their writples, and believing him to he the person that
lie represen:ed himself to Iw, they no longer refused to
permit him to enter. The door was opened, and he
passed in. Hr had previ tttt sly said his business was to
search the home, but on finding himself in a fair way of
getting to the trout door, Ise remarked, in a romplinieut-
err manner, that that was " a decent house," hastily in-
quired if they hail any person concealed its any of their
apartments, and, being ansitered in the negative. he ob-
served, hr reewld teeke their trout, and satisfied with the
assitrthee that be hail reeeivrd, would give theist no fur-
ther trumble." Ile then made his exit by the true door,
anal the people to shuns hr had addressed bur t hail
nu (loath, that he was really a Police officer. It was sod
until they saw in the newspapers of the following day
the description of the murderer, that they knew the per-
son they haul allowed to pass through their premises was
no otber than Thistlewood.
