ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE HOME CIRCUIT, Guildford, Tuesday, Aug. 4. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. lustice_CoLTNAN.)  Mary Anne AuNtin, 22, was indicted for a misdemeanor, in unlawfully concealing the birth of a child. It appeared that the prisoner was found by a constable sitting by the roadside at Wandsworth, crying, and in great distress, and he took her to the Wandsworth Union Workhouse, where, upon her being questioned, she admitted that the had been delivered cf a child at Croydon, and that slie bad busied it to avoid discovery. The infant, it appeared, as still-born. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and she was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. Elizabeth Wiggins was charged upon the coroner's inquisition with the murder of her female illegitimate child, on the 12th July, at Lambeth. Mr. Locke defended the prisoner. From the evidence adduced, it appeared that the prisoner was in service in the establishment of a perosn named Bond, and about the period in question a suspicion was appea appear entertained that thatshe wassh she eventually i n the family way, and it would it delivered of the child in question in the water closet, but Was never seen alive, and the mother and the dead body of the infant were sent to Lambeth Workhouse, where the medical officer examined the latter, and from the appearances it exhibit. d, he expressed an (pinion that it had been born alive. The evidence, however, upon the point was very inconclusive. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of concealing the birth, and she was also sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. Salomon Aiglitingale was brought up to receive judgment upon an indictment on which he had been committed on the previous day. The prisoner, who is an elderly man, held a farm at Crowley, and for some time he had bern annoyed by several young men residing in the village, coming to his house and annoying him by making a noise and insulting him in a variety of ways. He had repeatedly requested them to desist, but it had not ffect; and on the day in question it seemed that, having a gun in his hand, and being very much exasperated by the c induct of the parties, he discharged it at them, and slightly wounded a young man named Laneway, and one or two others.  -....,._. Thejury found the prisoner guilty of a common assault, and at the same time strongly recommended him to the merciful consideration of the Court, on account of the provocation he had received. Mr. Justice Courmax, in passing sentence, said that there was no doubt the prisoner bad been a good deal provoked, but that did not justify him in using a deadly weapon in the manner he had done ; and, taking into consideration all the circumstances, he felt it his duty to pass upon him the sentence of four months' imprisonment. Mr. Justice Coltman got through the criminal cases about two o'clock, and he then commenced disposing of the civil business. The first cause taken in this Court was No. 60, and he will go on with the common jury cases in their order to the end of the list.
