She had seen prisoner's first husband when he was living with her; she stated that prisoner had told her that she had searched for him, and that she thought she was a widow. William Wood, of Middlesbro', was called to prove that he had seen prisoner's first husband, and spoken to him at West Hartlepool, in the month of March liut. The magistrates having heard such evidence, had no alternative but to commit the prisoner to take her trial at the next York ,sizes. Bail was taken in .£3O.

The ease was adjourned for the production of witnesses on behalf of the defence.

John Tyerman, a very respectable young man, a butcher, residing at Middlesbro', was charged by Mr. Dobson, a farmer, near Middlesbro', with sheep-stealing. The facts of the case, which were very frivolous, are as follows. It appears that one day last week Tyerman was, along with a boy, driving some cattle belonging to Mr. Burnett, butcher, to his (Burnett's) field, near Ayrsom, and that on his returning by the New Road he met three lambs, each marked with three blue stripes, wandering up the road. The marks on them being the same as those used by a friend of Tverman's, called Mr. bobby, another butcher, he naturally thought that they were his, and that they had strayed from the flock, which was kept in a field Ajoining the road. Ile comequently took chargo of them, and, with the assistance 4 the boy, drove them back, and put them into the field belonging to Dobby. He then went and told Itobby's min, and on finding that they were not his lie went and told nearly every butcher in the town that he hail found them, and also where he had put them. They remained there some days, until claimed by the complahlant, who instituted time present charge. Mr. Griffin appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Holt for the defendant, who contended that to prove felony there must be suspicious conduct on the part of the prisoner, whereal the de:endant had done everything in this case. The magistratea remarked that there was nothing suspicious about the case, and at ,nce dismissed It.  George liewy was charged by Eliza Stephenson with an assault at Eaton.
