Norfolk Circuit.
The Times, 1824-02-26T00:00:00

The late number of the NYorwich Mercury contains a memorial signed by upwards of 100 magistrates for the county, requesting that the assizes may be held at the principal city, where the gaol and shire courts are situatel, and not at Thetford. This representation was, several weeks since. transmitted to the Chancellor and Mlr. Peel, by the Lord Lieutenant of the county of Norfolk, and, as we are informed, an intimation was at the same time given by the Lord Lieutenant, that he had been requested by the meeting, at which the representation was agreed to, to convene an- other meeting of the magistrates, as soon as he had received an an- swer to conmliunicate tortheini; intimating, that in case of failure in the application to the Executive Government, the magistrates in- tended to appeal to Parliament. A representation from the city of Norwich was, abeut the samc time, sent to Mr. Peel, setting fortli that in that city, which con- tains 60,000 inhabitants, there is only one gaol-deliverv in the year that 16 prisoners charged with capital offences, so,ne of whom had been committed f.Tst August, were then in custody; and unless the assizes are removed to Norwich, will remain until tho summer as- sizes; and praying for the removal of the assizes from Thetford to Norwich. It is asserted that no answer has been given by the Secretary of State to the county or city, notwithstanding that in the Gazette of Tuesday the 23d of this month, the Norfolk circuit was fixed, and Thetford was mentioned as the place fbr holding the assizes. Among the prisoners in custody in Norfolk, there is one charged witi munrder-should he be convicted, and at Thetford, the day after his trial he will spend in travelling to 'Norwich, and the day following be executed ! Wre beg to know, what are the advantages from holding the assizes at T1hetford, which are to reconcile the country to so unequal an ad- ministration of justice, as giring threc gaol deliveries to some parts of the country, and only ose to the city of Norwich, with 60,000 inhabitants ? It is fitting that the subject should come before PlarEament. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.

Burning Of Horses.

TO THE EDITOR Or TIIE D.hflAII COVYTY ATIVERTISER. Sir,-Yoa have thought fit to publish voar belief in the report (if the burnirqg to death of sundry horses at Fawdon 'olliery, because "llr. John Bowman, chief clerk in his Majesty's C:ustonms at New- castle," had sworn that he sow it, and notwithstanding that 36 indi- viduals (several of whom are assuredly it. no sense of the word less re.spectable than he, and everv one of them at least as credible) have, upon clteir oaths, shown thte utter filsity of it. That. ; unimpeached oaths should be- received in prefcrenre to one, ,ll fexperience has established; hut that the converse of this ruile should be the guide of your judgment, appears a inost extraordilar'v perversion of' conston sense. Whrien.tr. Bowmttn answvers bebote a judge and 3uvr for his wanton and malicious conduct tfo4r we have laid the niatter before eminent counsel, and mean to adopt such pro. ceelings as ie !,hall advise), we feet c,nfilent that lie will meetuith no accession of converts to vour mode of thinking. We beiieve Mr. Bowunans oath will not receive nltuch support fioi the followving fact:-Our solicitor's clerk called uponi him with the newspaper conraining the affidavit which we made public, and the I'Ollowing is a copy of his minute on the occasion:- " Dec 31, 1823. Attending upon All. Bowman at the Custom-house, with the Tyne ilercuiry, and pointing out the affidavit of 36 men, denying tbat a horse or horses were destroyedl bv fire on the 5th inst., when M1r. Bowmava stated that he would (anrd M.. " " could also) make an affidavit that he saw one horse whipped on the fireheap, and that he fell several times, but they persisted in wbippin it on until it was consttnted." Vhiy Mr. Bowman did not avail himself of his frieni's aRtidavit, he best knows, but in our opinion he has, in failing to do ir, fur- t-her manifestei Itis little regard for truth. il7e pledge ourselves to shiow, belbre wve have done witb this sub- iect, that what Mr. John Bowvman has sworni, is false in all its pa,ts ; and we call ttpon you, as an act of justice, to give insertioni to tisis letter it your next publication-trastinz that tilose editors who have given publicity to your statertent wiU see the propriety of copyinlg it.

Monday night, Mr. Fountain, a jeweller, went into the pariouror the Albemarle's Head, Albemarle.street, Clerkenwell, in wbich many gentlemen were sitting, ancd called for a glass os brandy andwater. Wnhile drinking it, he drew a pistol from his pocket, anl laid it bv theside of his grass. A gentleman present remonstrated with him on the impropriety of displaying such a wea- pon in company. Mr. Fountain took up the pistvl, and pointing it at the gentleman, said, " There; what harm can this littae thing do any one ?" The gentleman put the pistol aside with hi,s hand, saying he did not like such jocularity, and that perhaps it might be loaded. Mr. Fountain replied, "It is, and vou sball see bow soen it can rid a man of his cares." He then put the muzzle of the pis- tol into his mouth, and fired it. The disebarge tore the tongue to pieces, and destroyed the roof of the mouth. He was conveyed to Bartholomew's hospital, where his death is hourly e.xpected.
