NSWCASTLE A 8 SIZS 8 . Monday , February 24 . The Assizes for the town and county of Newcastloi and for the county of Northumberland , were expected to have commenced to-day , before the Right Hon . Sir Thomas Erskine , in the Guildhall , and the Hon . Sir John Taylor Coleridge , in the County Court , but owing to the latter having been detained longer than was anticipated at Carlisle , the foraconly arrived , and adjourned the Courts immediately after opening the Commission . ™ ° ^—
Tuesday , February 25 . To-day Judgo Kiskine was occupied in the County Hall , with some criminal business of no interest whatever . Sir John T . Coleridge arrived iu town about noon , and went also to the County or Moot Hall , and was occupied in tho Nisi Prius Court during the afternoon , with cases of no public interest . CROWN COURT— Wednesday , February 20 . ( Before Mr . Justice Erskine . J CHARGE OP MURDER . The only case of any interest which occupied the attentiou of the Court to-day , was th-it of Geort / e Barnes , 31 , who stood charged in the indictment with tho vviiful murder of Joseph Chicken , at Hexham , on the 12 th of Novomber last .
Mr . Grainger and Mr . Rnsham wero Counsel for the prosecutor , and Mr . Archbold for the defence . Mr . Grain « er having stated tho case , the outline of which wa- , that the deceased and prisoner were brother ' s-in-law , the father of tho former having died and left the house and furniture to his two sons , by whose permission Barnes was allowed to occupy the honse , and retain iu it th « father ' s furniture . Subsequently Chicken laid claim to tho furniture , and on the 12 th Nov . quarrelled with Barnes about it , in a lane near Barnes ' s house , and assaulted him . Barnes then
went home , where , in the course of few hoars afterwards , ho was followed by Chicken . Barnes requested the latter to leave the house , which-he refused , and he then attempted to force him out , but a struggle took place , in which Barnes , being tho weaker , used first a ooker , and afterwards a knife , to accomplish his object , inflicting with the latter a deep wound in tho abdomen of Kicebin , from the effects of which he died . The Learned Counsel called witnesses for tho substantiation of theso facts ; after which
The Learned Judge summed up , explaining the distinction of tho law between murder aud maiislaughcr . The jury then retired , and , after an absence of about five minutes , fouud a verdict—Guilty of Manslaughter . The prisoner appeared to be deeply affected during the trial , and frequently shed tears . Sentence was deferred .
GUILDHALL . —CROWN COURT . Before Mr . Justicb Coleridge . Mr . Justice Coleridge entered tho Crown Court this morning , at the Guildhall , and the assize business for the Town and County of Newcastle was opened with the usual formalities , after which the Grand Jury were sworn . . The Learned Judge , in charging the Grand Jury , said the calendar on this occasion was one of unusual magnitude and importance . It embraced ona charge of bigamy , one of murder , and a great number of charges against personsfor political offences . After drawing attention to the peculiar eircumstajiees of the b'gamy and murder cases , th « Learned Judge proceeded to speak of the political offences-. These
consisted iu the publication of seditious libels , in the uttering of sedition-, speeches , in iho attending of seditious assemblies for tne purpose of exciting to sedition , and , lastly , for riots and breaches of the peace . On this subject Tie might premise that by the constitution of the country no man or set of men were forbidden to discuss—if they would do it respectfully , soberly , in the way of argument , an < J with an honest intention—no man was forbidden to discuss fairly , freely—severely if they pleased alsothe conduct of any person iu the 6 tate , the propriety of any institution , or the wisdom or propriety of tho proceedings of any party in the state . And no persons were forbiddau either to assemble , iu a peicoable manner for the discussion of tlui- gricvuvi ' . ¦? .
The wisdom or prudence of such prooi-tfiiinijs was another thing , and , if ho might bo allowed to . o ir ., the advice ho would give to the L'wer orti-:-rrt . fr . mi one who wished them as well as - ^ : > y oilier per-on could wish them—bcoause their interests were couuected with his own , and because , as fellow men , nud as fellow christiaus , he had tho greatest regard for them—he would say , the danger of atts-Rflhigtliese meetings waaso great—numbem excited inl . ot ]> Vra so rabidly , people so soon lost their ju-gaien-, ttid forgot the purpose for which they m ^ t . auii tin- bfut-. fits to be ,, j eapel from them were > o small ami precarious , that tho man who rueau to bo a loyal subject would find that hia interests wore better secured by his avoi-jina
theso meetmgd . He was suro it was noi by political agitation that the lower orders wouhl seeuro- or iucreaBe their happiness ; it was by auonuing to their own duties—to the multiplying , as far : is they oould , of their comforts , and by tho acivice aud sympathy , and the earnest endeavours of the higher and middle classes to relieve and to educate them —for we must not forget that the lower orders had their sufferings and hardships to complain of-it waa by such means on their parts , aud endeavours on ours—it was by Buch means alone , that they were to bo made more happy , and their conr ); ti--n ii ; life improved . Having said so ranch of v- - ' . iu < .. v .- .-is lawful , it now remained for him to give his up a ; , us on the law with reference to these eusto . lk > ki- ' i
not mean to go through the facts : that would b .. a waste of time , for wiih-the cireumssanoes attending these cases they would probably bo wfl ! acquainted ; but he would just take the cases as thov stood . And the first case was a charge i \> i- seditious l : bel . N'jiv , a seditious libel was n :..-iviy th « publishing of that which was intended iobriiu ; nor Majesty's person or measures , by w ' iv . ah hk " ad ministers justice , or tho authorities oi th « state , and the institutions of tho comitvy , imo public obloquy , contempt , or ruijeu'o-not by fair discussion , but by the use of slanderous o contemptuous language , the object of which was plainly to stir up persons to make them discontented , and prone to have recourse to unlawful measures
for redress . Now he would take the puper as it stood before him , and be found that the libel here complained of charged during so many years what the aristocracy had done-, what misch ' -efs had been Draught en by it , and it then excited the peop ' e to keep what was called a national holiday * and to take their rights into their own hands . Now they would have to decide whether thie fell withiu what he had described as constituting innocence or guiltwhether it fell within what might be termed , in fact , fair discussion . It struck him that such was not tbe case , but it waa a question for them , and not for him , to decide . It would be unnecessary for him to define the nature of seditious speeches , becauso the only difference was , that the one was put forth in writing ;
the other was delivered by word of mouth . It ao happiimd , however , that the latter was considered rnora dan ^ erous , for though a libel lasted longer when published , yet a speech was often delivered to a great number of persons at once , they cheored the panicular-soutiments , after which were most violent , aud thus th ° , y wannd each other , and were so < m iu a stale of mind which rendored it impossible for discretion ami judgment io guide 'hen- actions . But there was < nm v « ry jjroao difference be-w .-eu ihe coiisideratkui of the two charges for ; lie Jury . In the one case they would havo the xvin ; l « evidence before thcti at once , and it ujiKiit so happen dii reading what was termed a printed libei , that they luight have occasion to say—it is true there is uars
ot it here very severe and violent deprived of the context , but taking it as a whole , it is not a libel . With a speech the use was different , and they knew that it was possible that Eomo artful person might report unjustly whatiiad been stated , giving portions of it without the context , so as to mislead them with regard to the meaning of the whole . This was a matter for their consideration , and they must take care that they had so much of the speech bdbro them in evidence as would give a fair representation of the meaning of the whole . If a mau were to give merely two or three sentences out of a speech of anhours' length , that would not do ; they must know of what nature the other sentences were , because it might happeu that the rest of the si > eDch w «* in
reprobation of those sentences . They vrould recollect the late Lord Erskine ' s illustration of this ° ui > - jeet from the Psalms , that if we took the words " There is no God , " without the context , at a fair quotation from the book , it would go to shew that it was Atheistical in its tendency ; but what wasin fact thepassage whenfairly quoted— " The fool hath said in his heart there is no God . " Ha only put this as a strong case , of how passages were capable of . being misrepresented . The next description of case , io which it would be necessary to call attention , were the charges of not j and on thia subject ha had anticipated a great deal of what was neceas&ry to bo stated . It appeared that in these cases a great number of persons assembled , met together in a tumultuous manner , and wero determined to gi > together to the Forth . They had banners in their
hands , aud were coming from it again in military array . andthoythrewbrickbatsattheeivilforce . The authorities and military entreated them to disperse , but it was of no use , and it was found necessary to bring a strong body of the civil force into action . Now to constitute a riotous assembl y , there ought to be more than three persons mot together for eomething less than what would constitute high Ireason , but they must commit some tvert act , either by ' throwing stones or some other proceeding , bo as to Create roasonabla terror in the minds of her Mcjesty ' s peaccuble subjects . Thoy must meet together lor some common dewgn , an < j in a tumultuous manner , Whi-. i he t-aid c *! iiuion design he did not moan io jayiha " ' it was necessary th ; U all kI . ouUI have it , bu :, ii <• . ; . > , j ., ' " ces . ° nry that v / Jieu tliiilo they must concoct rt / nv i o .-,-Won Utsign m : < l act in pursuance of it . hh . v . y went

innocently to these meetings , and as idlespecfaton . but it was a great mistake to supoose that tfcey could remain there inntcently . From the momenl that meeting assumed a riotous character , they www no longer innocent ; and for this plain reason—how was it possible for the officers of justice to distinguish between Aj who is a common spectator * and B , who is there for purposes of violence ! But that , was not all . Every person there makes it necessary by adding to the numbers assembled , for tho town to have recourse to a large organised force to keep them hf check , while on theothsr hand he encourages those who are inclined to be violent to acts of violence , by adding to their numbers and to th ' air apparent strength . It was plaiD , therefore , that ft man would not innooently attend a meeting of ( his nature ; and , besides , the absolute peril attendant ^^^^^^^
upon being present on such occasions ought to interest them in keeping away . The Learned Judge then proceeded to speak of the duties cf ihe Magistrates and public officers in the preservation of ih « peace , and of their right to command the assistance of the public . Prevention , however , they would ' all agree , was better than punishment ; and ha proceeded to point out the means of tLi 3 by education . It had been stated that education had -tailed of its tffect , and that crime increased ; but h ? denied , after making due allowance for the increa ^ of the population , and other causes , that this was the fact ; depend upon it , that education was doing , and would do , its work . Ho admitted , however , that- this applied mainly only to the rising generation : for thegood conduct of the lower orders of the present generation , we must depend mainly upou the miuistrationsof the Clergy , and upon the example and influence of the rich .
