THE ASSIZES . Jeremiah Carpenter has been tried at Hertford for the murder of John Starkins , the policeman , at Stevenage . The circumstances of the case are already known to our readers . The evidence adduced on behalf of the prosecution established nearly the whole of the material facts ; but the counsel for the prisoner , by an adroit cross-examination , succeeded in establishing an apparent discrepancy as to the time when Carpenter and the murdered man were last seen on . the night of the murder . He also elicited the fact that the prisoner s nose was in the habit of bleeding , and that shortly before the murder he had been assisting to ring some pigs , which had bled a good deal during the operation . In answer to questions which were put at the suggestion of the jury , it also appeared that no special instructions had been given to the policeman Starkins to look after Carpenter , particularly on the night of the murder ; his directions were to look about the fields in the neighbourhood of Norton-green-farm on that evening until nine o ' colck , and then to report himself at the policestation . Towards the close of the case for the prosecution , a singular piece of evidence was received . William Quint , one of the Herts constabulary , said that , on the previous Wednesday , he had been in the prison-van with Carpenter and some other prisoners , unknown to them , and had heard a conversation between the accused and another person , in which the former anxiously asked the latter if one Shepherd had said anything . Being answered in the negative , he rejoined , " If he has , he will do me . " He also said to the other man , " I done it ( the murder ) , but nobody knows it . " Quint was cross-examined by Serjeant Parry , but , in a little while , he fell down in a fit , and it was found necessary to remove him from the court . On the following morning , Quint was again cross-examined , but could give no further information with respect to the alleged conversation than that the person with whom Carpenter talked was a man who had been sentenced to ten months' imprisonment . It appeared that the only person sentenced to that term was a man named Henry Ringshell . This man was brought up from gaol by order of the Judge ( Mr . Justice Williams ) , who himself questioned him ; and he swore that the alleged conversation had not taken place . The turnkey who accompanied the van , and the turnkey ' s daughter , who rode in front of it on the occasion in question , were also examined ; and both stated that there had been talking in the vehicle among the prisoners . The turnkey himself said it was only two or three words , and that he put a stop to it directly , as it is against the prison rule . s ; but the daughter asserted that the talking continued nearly the whole of the way from the court to the gaol . The jury went out and examined the van , which is divided into compartments , one for each prisoner ; but , for the sake of ventilation , there are gratings at the top of each partition , and these openings would allow of conversation . Serjeant Parry , in his speech for the defence , did not attempt to deny that a murder liad been committed , and even acknowledged that there -was a case of strong suspicion against the prisoner ; but he urged that there was no evidence amounting to proof . The Judge having summed up , the jury , after an absence of half an hour , gave a verdict of Not Guilty , but at the same time said they thought it was a case of great suspicion , though there was not sufficient direct , evidence to justify them in finding Carpenter guilty of the crime . He was then discharged .
William Primctt and Frederick Simmons wore tried at Aylesbury for the abduction of Elizabeth Duncombe , and for a criminal assault . Tho girl is only fifteen years of age , but looks much older , and it appeared that for some time past she has been in tho hubit of leaving- her homo in company with a young woman named Anno Gurney , and of going to dances and fairs , from which she has often returned at ten and eleven o ' clock nt night . Her mother stated that , on the occasion in question , tho girl was taken away against her ( tho mother ' will ; but it appeared that she did not exercise any strict control over her . On tho 7 th of August , Elizabeth left home with Grurnoy , and , in company with Primett and Simmons , wont to various placos , and , on n subsequent day , to London and Gravesond . Lodgings woro taken for thorn , and Duncombo appears to have been regarded as tho companion of Primett , while Gurnoy attached herself to Simmons . Primett it ) u married man , with two children : Simmons is a widower , with four children . On tho third day , Elizabeth Duncombo returned home . " I puid no expenses , " she said , in giving her ovidonco . In crossexamination , she added : — " I have known Primett some inontlia . I have danced with him . I am a good dancer . Whon 1 came Homo nt riiglit 7 "ITiilvra ^ f 61 « rd " tlio ~ aoor ' unbolted , and mother in bod . " In answer to Lord Chief Justice Cockburn , tho girl confessed to previous immoralities with other men . Tho Judge ruled that there was no case against Simmons , ami tho jury Acquitted Primett . Tho men engaged in tho riots which took placo during tho last Kidderminster olootion , when Mr . Lowo and others woro savagely assaulted , were tried at Worj ^ Btor lust Saturday , when they all pleaded Guilty , it Jbolng understood that , if they did bo , they would bo dischurgod

John Hall and James Potter , two respectable-looking men , surrendered at the Worcester Assizes to take their trial on a charge of conspiracy to defeat the object of the Bankrupt Acts , by removing and concealing the goods of a bankrupt firm , with intent to defraud the creditors . The two partners of the firm ( Robert Hall and Thomas Hyde , of Dudley ) have absconded to America . The case having been proved , the jury found the accused Guilty . Mr . Baron Watson said that , as this was the first prosecution of the kind under the bankrupt lav , he should pass but a lenient sentence ; but all traders should be aware that such practices were capable of being adequately punished . His Lordship then ordered the defendants to be imprisoned , with hard labour , for six months .
Samuel Morris pleaded Guilty , at Bedford , to < ui indictment charging him with having set fire to the County Prison , in which lie was under sentence on a conviction for burglary . He had been twice before convicted of felony , and was now condemned to ten years' penal servitude . John Irons , until recently the relieving oflicer of the Ampthill Union was indicted at Bedford for stealing a cheque for 651 ., and the sum of 24 Z ., the property of the guardians of the poor . The evidence rendered the fact of his being a defaulter quite clear ; but the Judge directed the jury that he had simply committed a breach of trust , and had thus become a debtor to the guardians . The jurv therefore found him Not Guilty . His salary was 140 / . a vear ; and the pressing demands of a wife and family of six children led to his error . His sureties are sufficient to indemnify the guardians for his defalcations . Anne Sharp , a domestic servant , has been tried at Lincoln on a charge of having wilfully murdered her female illegitimate child , of which she was delivered while in service . The body of the infant was found in a box , with a garter tied thrice round its neck . The jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter , and the Judge sentenced the woman to ten 3 'ears' penal servitude .

The Murder near the Hatmarket . —Some further witnesses were examined at the Marlborough-street police-court on Monday , in connexion with the charge of murder against Giovanni Lani . Their testimony had reference chiefly to the prisoner selling a watch and ring of the murdered woman at a gold and silver refiner ' s in Barbican , and to his face being considerably scratched on the day after the murder . He had been lodging at Khune ' s Hotel from the 8 th of February up to the fatal 23 rd , on which night he slept out . On tho following day , he went again to the hotel , and his face was then found to be scratched . He said it was done by a cat ; but , on tho waiter saying they seemed like the marks of a human cat , he at first said , "No , " and afterwards nodded assent . He is now fully committed ; and the inquest has terminated in a verdict against him of Wilful Murder . His conduct is marked with the utmost levity .
