GREAT FIRE IN BELFAST
" Messrs. MVSGRAVE, BROTHERS.—GENTLEMEN,—At your request, I bee to state, for the
that 'he only property saved from the late fire, in the premises of Thomas S. Major and Co.. was that
Mainers' Patent Safes. From the intense nature of the fire, and the length of time the Safe was exposed to
flames, I was fully convinced of the destruction of the books and papers it contained ; and feel very great pleasut
lag to this extraordinary instance of their preservation. I may add, that the Safe was placed on the third story, wi
protection, where it remained till the floor was burnt around it, when it fell to the room beneath, the floor of which

SOUTH LANCASHIRE ASSIZES

CROWN COURT.—TuEsDey, AUGUST 15,
(Beare Mr. Baron Platt)

Anthony Hardman, 20, and William Burke, 16, were
charged with assaulting Michael Cavanagh, and robbing
him of 18s.. The matter was proved to be a drunken
frolic. Acquitted.
Lackey Farrell, 21, was sentenced to fifteen yea•s' trans-
portation for unlawfully wounding, with a poker, John
Banks Dunadale, with whom he quarrelled, on the Bth
July, at a beehouse in Lowton.
Ellen Burns, 31, a charwoman, was sentenced to im-
prisonment and hard labour for eighteen months, for steal-
ing some articles of clothing from the house of Thomas
James, in this town, on the 2nd July.
STREET ROILBERY IN LIVERPOOL.—John Kegan, 21,
labourer, was sentenced to fifteen years' transportation for
assaulting Thomas Savage, at Liverpool, on the 25th June
last, and stealing two sovereigns and a cap from his person.
Thechief witness against Kegan was a little girl, who,
early on the morning in question, saw Savage assailed by
four men, one of whom she identified as the prisoner.
RIOT AND ASSAULT AT PENDLETON.—Robert Collier,
22, and William Handley, 24, were charged with inflicting
serious injuries upon Mr. James Crompton, dyer of Pen-
illeton, near Manchester, during a turn-out of the work-
men in that trade, in May last. Mr. Cross, for the prose-
cution, stated that, at the time when this assault was com-
mitted, a riot took place amongst the turn-outs who had
been employed by Mr. Crompton ; and, although the
present charge was brought against the prisoners, who
formed part of the crowd, Mr. Crompton did not wish to
press the prosecution, as the workpeople were now per-
fectly quiet. The prisoners, after a suitable admonition
-from his lordship, were discharged on their own recog-
mizances.

CHARGES OP MANSLARGEITER.—Mark Banford, 29, a
slater, indicted for the manslaughter of William Moult,
at Middleton, on the 30th March, was acquitted, principally
round that he committed the deed (cutting with a

ion the
snade)

self-defence, after great provocation, and when
assailed by Moult and two others.—Robert Norman, 33,
indicted for the manslaughter of William Sutton, at Man-
chester, in June last, was acquitted, it being doubtful,
from the evidence, whether the deceased had not received
the injury which caused his death accidentally during a fight
with the prisoner, a fight which the deceased had himself
-provoked. _ _

25, a painte

iiioA3rr.—Thomas N „
-guilty of bigamy. The first wife, it Was stated, was mar-
ried to him in December, and in February had a baby.

The second wife, Jane TuLer, stated that she was
to -the prisoner at Bardsley, in April last. She knew at
the time that he had another wife, but asked him no
questions about it ; " she took him for better for worse."
His lordship thought that the appearance of the little
stranger in February, after being married in December,
was sufficient cause for his not living with her, unless the
paternity could be traced to him. The jury returned a
verdict of guilty, and his lordship ordered him to be im-
prisoned for seven days

US AND VIOLENT ASSAULTS.—John Nichol-
son, 26, was indicted for having violently assaulted Robert
Meacock, a publican, at Rochdale, on the 16th May. The
