The wife having traced heihem there , lacked it on the outside , and went to _laltallsome friends . The prisoner broke open the house , _iinond was in the act of letting out the lady , when his wife _imdnd some other friends came up , and hi * companion eould

Bo » i Jthe Roves . — Robert _O'Riely , alias George XUlidy , _altus Robert Alexander , alias George Rowan , alias HHugh 0 _* Xril , was placed in the doek yesterday , and _presented by the grand jury as being a vagrant , having no Sisettled place of residence . Prisoner , a small middle-aged nman , dressed iu what might be termed the "shabby ggenteel" style , stood forward in the front of the _dock , a aad in a shrill , hat bold tone of voice , pleaded not guilty . J All the females and juveniles in the court were then _0 Ordered to withdraw . After tlie court being thus cleared , J Jir . _SchoaleF , Q . C ., proceeded briefly to state the nature t of the case as it afterwards appeared in evidence . —James < Collins examined : _T know the prisoner ; he lived at my House for some time ; he represented himself to me as 1 being a person named Robert Alexander , sou ofthe Rev .
134 r . Alexander , and grandson to Lord Belmore ; when he 4 « me to my house , he told me that he had been witness to 1 the shooting of clergymen in ths south , and that he bad 1 teen persecuted by the Roman Catholics because heme ; going to swear against them there ; he also tdd me that ' he had an estate in the count ; of Cavan , at a place called _Drumkeeran , and that he would not allow me to rema ' n much longer in Tyrone , because I was living in a rascally part of it ; he told me that he would give me tw elve acr of land on his estate whtu he would get it , and he was to have paid £ G forme , which I was due another man ; he also pretended that he was a friend to my mother , and used to be counting relationships with her ; he alto told xag that he was then about t <> get a _remittance <> f £ 35 uot of his Cavan _estate . _—ConrtrDidhecetit ? ( _LhUghtcr . )—
Witness : If he did no person saw it ( Laughter . )—Examination continued : When he came first to my house he was much _disgusted _witli the houses of my neighbours ; he used to put his hand t _.. liis nose to prevent his inhaling the smell from th .-ir dung-pits . ( Laughter . ) Shortly after that time I took a _suspicion of him , and I wrote off to a relation of mine who lives at Drumkeeran , in the county of Cavan , about Lim and his estates . Bv * _WTOte me back that such a person was _unknown there . Alter I received this letter I made it known to the neig h _, _bonrs . When I epoke to my neighbours th _. y told me stor . es which he had been circulating among them _tourt ill fame . The prisoner had left my house at that time , but he came back again . The evening on which he e _^ ine I me t my boy , who told me that the " wee
gentleman" was come back . ( Laughter . ) Tnat was the name _ive used to call liim by . _Assoonashesawmehewif-lied to make his exit again . ( Laughter . ) I wished to have aa explanation of certain matters , but he ran off out of tny house , where he was at the time , and took up in the house ofa mau named Crazier ; in CrozWr _' _s he passed himself fur beiug the wife ' s cousin . —Court : Prisouer , have you any questions to ask witness?—Prisoner ¦ _"ffirT-nto-s , you would not -.

and all _tiieothxr names ; I saw mm last winter ; I saw Mm in the hou-e of the last witness ; ke left it , and went to live in _Croz t-r ' s , who thought that he was a relation of his ; he slept in my lurase for one night ; on that occasion he slept with _mtsjlf ; 1 rose up before _morning , and crd -red him out of tlie bed , and out of my house , because 1 _UK-iight he was an imp ; he left my house in the mornin ; : ; I am not certain where he went tc ; I heard tbat he went to tlie house of a person named Donaghee . —To the Court : I heard that he was uuder the character of _leavini Ins o « n country for being present at a murder of a migistrate . —To Mr . Schoales : The prisoner told me th : t he once attended a gentleman up tlie country as a _purrzsi'e for six years . _—Piisoner : When did I tell you that?—Witness : When you vrere _leaving tny house . —
Prisoner : Xo ; I told jou what your neighbours said of you : they said that you were a . bad clr-racter , who used t j dress i i female ' s clothes an J go about to pass bad notes _, _ily lord , I am a persecuted man ; 1 swore against the man who murdered a very good gentleman , Mr . Bell Bocth ; I got a man arrested for him , r . nd I was persecuted ever afttr ; 1 got two more arrested in Fermanagh ; I was brought before Sir Edward Tierney , the crown solicitor ; I was introduced to liim by ilr . Dunstable , a magistrate ; _the-sc two men I got put in gaol for a len _« th of time ; oh , I have been persecuted —Edward H'Gucklnn examined : The prisouer told me that lie was present at a murder iu tne county of Cavan ; he said that he was the only witness in the case ; I remember seeing him at
tlie lough shore at _Coltagh : he then made some very _improper prop-sals te mc ; he asked me if there was anything to do in the hay-yard ; I said n «; says be , does there be anything taken outof it ! no , says I , come into _JTasies . OiUiusV , for I wanted to get rid of him . —To the Court : I wished t _» get rid of him , because he gave me to understand that he was a ftenaorpfcrediie . —Prisoner ( in a violent rage ) : Ton don ' t _knowthat there ' s a Godabove you . Dun ' t damn yourselves , for you know that you arc all damning j ourselves . [ Here the appearance of the _prisoner brcame _almost demoniacal . His small grey eyes S . _' _ioua _biiliiantjy wish anger ; his thin tdoo _iless lips trert parted , sb . « trii ; £ his _Imrv white teeth , which were gnashing with passion ] . He exclaimed , " you are damning _yonrselvesto the lowest————; yi : u returned me 'evil for good aud hatred for my love ; ' you are . all in a con-* j / iracr against in < _% every one of yoa .

Xor would I hare reported those above were it not to show tho public the true character delineated _byoi : e of themselves , of tlmsu unfortunate tools of government , professional s « _vat-ers . —liis Lordship briefly charged the jury , who iu oue moment re . tnmed a verdict of Guilty . Sentence , sever , years' transportation . Previous tO the passing of the sentence the prisoner made use of _so-ne of the most blasphemousVt
indelicate expressions possible for the worst aud most abandoned human being to conceive . It is no wonder that the witness _O'Neil believed liim to be an imp ; and yet this devil has been made the man and the Christian unmade , by the influence of g « v « rmu < _-nt biood money . The prisoner ' s the man , as he himselt imasted , on whose information poor Heany was arresnd and confined in Cavan Gaol for themurderof Mr . Bell l ; oih . The time has come when an enlightened government . should fee ! ashamed of using such base and mercenary tools as this infamous "Body theBovcr . " _KlLDAEE _( _IltELASD ) .
A VuniN . _^ -At these assizes a man named _Jaine * Quigley was indicted for the murder of c poor cripple who resided near Kaas , by shooting him through the head . The principal evidence against the prisoner was an accomplice who had become _approver ; and tbe disclosures of atrocities , outrages , and crimes whieh that ac-« omplice freely made , have perhaps never been exceeded in the career of one so yoaog in years . There were witnesses examined on the trial who corroborated in seme collateral points the approver ' s evidence ; such as that the prisoner and the informer had been in company together on the _dav of tlie murder . The jnry , notwithstanding ,
acquitted Quigley , manifestly under the impression that it was not he , but Reilly , who had murdered the po / _. r cripple . _Qayey , however , will not utterly escape , as he is under _sentence of transportation for fifteen years f _« . r r . robbery committed with Reilly , on the night subsequent to that on which Donnelly was murdered . Reilly lias escaped punishment of any kind . The following is the evidence : —Francis Reilly ( an approver ) examined by "Mr .

it was dark when we left Powers ; we then went to Garagh , about three and a half miles ; we had the pistol ; we went into a public-bouse at Caragh ; we then wviit about a quarter of a mile and sat down to light a pipe ; wc struck a match ; there were two women coining up at the cross road towards Caragh , and the ; met amun ; there is a gr _. _-irel pit there ; the prisoner and I were on the corner ef the ditch ; the night was dark ; the women avked the man if lie saw a light , and he said " yei ;" when the _prUontr leaped up aud said lie would Show him light , and then a tussle eniued for a while , when the
prisoner called me to assist him ; the women were going on then , and I turned one of ; them back ; I desired the prisoner to put it ( meaning the contents of tke pistol ) through him , a * that was a password ; he had the pistol in _liin hand , and he fired the shot at the man ; I was a jard behind tlie man , and some of the » hot whirzed _^ y my eir ; (" tuiejey fired the _ihotandtheman fell ; I stepped uver his body ; saw the _priwraer next day in Dublin ; we went into a public-house , and saw an account of the murder in the Freeman ' s Journal ; that was on a Friday ; we met at Blaucliardstown that evening with a person
named Doyle , where we robbed a matt ; I was arrested in the Castle-yard , but I don ' t know what brought me there . Crow-examined by Mr . Gorman : I swear 1 don ' t know what brought me to the Castlu-jard ; I had business there , but did not think of what it was till I went there I went tt > the Castle-yard to give myself up for the rob . btrj , but I did not thiuk of that till I went in there ; lt was an hour after I went there that I thought of it . I am twenty-one years of age . at I hare heard . Mr . Gorman : How did jou support yourself for the last thre « years ? By money . —Mr . Gorman : Got honestly ! Yes ; some of it 1 borrowed from men . —Mr . Gorman : Borrowed
from men with a pistol at their _heaas J Yes . —Mr . Gorman : And that's what jott ea . ll getting money honestly 1 Witness : Of course , I got money any way I could ; if I got it honestly so much the better , bat if not , I robbed ; vou know jou get money honestly if you can , but whan I couldnotgetittnatway , why I procured it in the best manner I could ; can ' t form tbe most remote idea of the number of outrages , robberies _; and crimes I have been engaged in . I can't go within twenty of the number . Can't tell within ten of how many houses I have broken Into and robbed . —Mr . Gorman : Tell me within five
times of bow often you were tried ? Oh , I was seldom caught , _yoit know . I generally put in another In my place , and that was my business to the Castle . My canscience smote mc when tbe man was murdered , and I went out and committed a highway robbery next night . I was afraid I would be hanged , and then my conscience smote me , so I said I would save it and my neck together . I thought as much of my nick , if not more , than I did of my conscience . I fuel great inward ( makings now . If you were a priest or minister I would tell you mor <> shout it . —Mr . German : If I were I would not with to
have such a panshioner as you . Witness : You might have ajWor > e , I assure you . ' —Mr . Gorman : On your oath , do you think there is as great a villain as yourself breathing tbe breath of life tbis moment ? Witness : 1 don ' t think there is . —Mr . Gorman : Do yon think , from Adam to the present day there ever existed a greater villain than you are ! I think not ; I carried a pistol myself according to circumstances ; we bad only one pistol at the _Blanchardstewn robbery , and Quigley had it ; I had it in the park tbat day ; tbe stock of tbe pistol was broken before that , but I cannot say how long ; it was broken before the murder ; Doyle was with us at Bh , nchardstown ; when I met Quigley in Barrack-street , I told him I supposed the man was dead ; I was taken up ; my account of the robbery at the trial was
that I was not there at all ; Doyle gave me a whip that be took from one of the men ; I always assisted _atrobbtries _, and often knocked down men , but would not like to kill a man : " put it through him" was a password , not to put t _ie contents throngh _tym ; nycomradeunderstoodthat as to frighten the man ; told the story eight days after the trial to an inspector of police in Bridewell-lane ; went to give myself up as a person concerned in tbe deed ; can't say where Doyle was the night of the murder , hut met him next day at the King ' _a-bridge ; did not _tcU him a word about the murder ; he was an old _companion and friend of mine , and I parted him near King ' B-bridge aud went _toTighe-street ; methimnext day in a _public- ' jouse in Barrack . street ; tbe prisoner _atked Doyle to come to Blancbardstown to commit the robbery ,
which we thought no crime at all ; we three often went out—so often , tbat I can ' t tell ; we would rob any one or any place , and did so for years . We were regular old partners in crime ; I know the prisoner four years or more , and was acquainted with him _bufore we robbed several places in the county of Dublin . Doyle and I were robbers and housebreakers long before we knew the _prisoner . Doyle always carried a pistol , powder , and shot . He carried the same sort of shot as was found in the man ' * head , and so did I . Doyle and I are seven y ears on the _roif ! , and we bare committed all sorts of crimes . —To the jury : I don ' t expect to get any reward . I do it all out of pure and disinttre . ted motives . Never heard of a reward . Tbe crime lay bravy ou my mind , I assure you . A juror : Of course you told the story to save your neck ! Witness : Of course I did .
_XoTTIKGHASf , _FstDAY , _Cbaboe or Manslacgbtek . —Joseph llolliuson , aged 31 , engineer , and William _Loogdon , aged 18 , engineer , both in the employ of Messrs . Wakefield , Korth , and Morley , were charged upon the coroner ' s inquisition , held at Nnttall , on the 25 th of August last , with feloniously _killing and slaying Thomas Soar . Mr . Wildman stated the case , and called Joseph Barton , overlooker at the Cinderhill Colliery , in the parish of Nuttall , who said—The deceased , Thomas Soars , was employed in the pit on Friday , the 22 nd of August . There is a cage used for the purpose of lifting coals from the pit , which is worked by means of a steam-engine . Joseph Rollinson had the care of the engine tbat day , and was assisted by William Locgdon as stoker . There is a bell in th « en _«
gilit-house , the handle of which is at the bottom Of tile pit . It was Rollinson ' s duty to remain in the enginehouBe and watch the bell , and it is also his duty to set the engine at work , in obedience to the signals . Rollinson had been employed as engineer about a year or more , and Longdon bad been bis assistant for nearly the whole of that time . It is the duty of an engineer to let an _cagine stand when no signal is given . When the bell rings once , it is a signal to go on if the engine be still , ( kid if it be in motion it is a signal to stop . This is a regular rule at Babbington Colliery , as well as at Cinderhill . At the time the accident happened , I was gone to breakfast , and as I was returning , I heard that a man had got killed . The banksmen were about the mouth of the pit , and the two prisoners were in the engine-room . Moses Barton—I am overlooker of the machinery at Cinderhill Colliery , and was so at the time of Soar ' s death . I have repeatedlytold both prisoners never to go on without the signals . It is well known that when a man _i . s coming- up , oris
standing on the cage , he should shout" hold on . " He should not touch the cage until he has given this signal . ( Other witnesses proved tbat the deceased omitted doing tbis . ) Langdon has frequently been allowed to do very important duties , because he is steady and intelligent . On this occasion , having charge of the engine at the moment of the accidont , I think he made a mistake by being overanxious . At tlie time the accident occurred , the cages were being drawn up , minute by minute , alter * mitely . There are two shafts to the pit , and tbe depth of each is 220 yards . The cages were brought up emptied , and let down again , alternately , in tbe short space of one minute . I am not aware that Rollinson was the cause ofthe death of a man in a similar way a fortnight before , although one was killed . Other witnesses proved that Langdon had tbe _management of the engine at the moment of tha accident , and Rollinson was set aside , _Iieing exempted from the charge by his lordship ; and after a . very able _defenia by Mr . Macauley , the other prisoner was acquitted by the jury .
Satdhdat . The Charge opUdhdee _atXewark . —William Horner , butcher , of "Newark , sued eighteen years , and William Uaselby , labourer , of Newark , aged seventeen years , were _charged upon the coroner's inquisition , held at Hewarkupon-Trent , the Gth day of March instant , with the willul murder of Mary Ann Perkins , single woman , aged fifteen years , by throwing her into the Trent . The grand juryfound a true bill against Horner -, but in obedience to the recommendation of the Chief Justice , acquitted Haselby , as no evidence could be adduced against him , further than the confesfion of the other prisoner . —The case for ihe prosecution was conducted by Mr . Wilmore , and Mr . Macauley defended the prisoner . The prisoner was a butcher at Newark , and William Haselby down to the
day of this occurrence had filled the office of "boots" at the Swan and Salmon public-house , when be was dismissed from tbat service . It appeared that shortly before eleven o ' clock on tbe night in question tbe prisoners - . net in Newark the unfortunate deceased , who some lime previomJy bad left the home of her parents at Leicester and taken to a bad life . The charge against the prisoner was , tbat be had been guilty- on the night in question ofthe murder of the deceased , aud the suggestion for the prosecution was , that he and the other > oung man . Uaselby , having met the deceased , had induced her to accompany them to the back yard of the Swan and Salmon public-house for improper purposes , : md , after the twofold accomplishment of a purpose , thence to the lock-gates of the _Sewark division cf the Trent navigation , where the prisoner had alone , or in conjunction with Uaselby , wrapped her shawl over her
neck and face , to the depth of nine or ten inches three or four times , with the object of preventing her crying out or otherwise making an alarm , and then thrown her iuto the water , where she was drowned , and the dead bod y picked up on the following morning . Suspicion fell upcu the prisoner , and he was brought , on the next day ( Wednesday ; , in custod y before Mr , T , F . A . _llurnaby _, the coroner , at the inquest upon the body , where llibbort , the lock-keeper , deposed to the effect , that he w » nt to bed a f ew minutes before eleven o ' clock , and whilst he was undressing by the light ofa candle , in the fr ont roum of his house , heard the footstep * of three , or four persons going along , and the sound of voins , among which was that of a woman . The sound of feet appeared to him to coma from the bottom of the yard of the Sv . au and - _" alinon public-house . Then heard ihc- sound of feet as : f l _»> S ! _-ing rapidly io and fro , slid subsequently lii'liril one man cry out once loudly , "Come , lookblimp ' : " as for

help ; and next somebody _pajrog rapidly over the dockbridge . The sound of one _clfjpily reached his ears . It was a boisterous night . He then opened the window and saw distinctly the prisoner Horner , whom he well knew , and whom , being without'his hat , he supposed to have gone over to a loaded boat to try mid get it out of the water , run in a hurried and confused manner , bark over the lock-Rate , and up a passage which led into the Town-street . Closed the window and went to bed . The light tbat he was undressing by was in sight , and within sight of the look gates . The next morning got up shortly after six o'clock ,
and saw four or five men valuly endeavouring to move the lock gate . Thought he saw in the opening of tbe gate a cloth of some sort , and looked more closely , and then taw a body , whieh tbey got out , and which proved to be that of deeeaied . Her shawl was twisted tightly , as above described , but not fastened with any knot , or pin , or other thing . Did not know thu deceased . The witness deposed to tho same _iffect to . d « y—Jam Bream said : 1 knew the deceased Mary Ann _Perkini . Ou Tuesday , the 3 rd of March , had seen her , and bad been walking about with her . I set out to walk again with ber about nine o'clock in the evening . She seemed
to be in very good spirits . We walked round the town and met witb a man against Middlegate , She left m « , and told me to wait for her against Mr . 8 ander _»'» , the grocer . This it close to Taylor ' s _giu-slui'i _, She said ¦ he would not be many minutes . I don't know the man ; I know Horner , but it was not he . I new »» w her again . She was living by prostitution . Ths deceased had been living in Newark about two months . On the morning of the day I last saw her she appeared very u » - happy and uncomlortable , and said she should like to get fresh ( drunk . )— Robert Dale said : I am _ont of tha Newark borough police , and apprehended th * prisoner Horner . He was in the market looking at some fowls , and said , " I know what you want me for ; I am innocent ofthe charge ; I nerer was with the girl—in fact , I don ' t
know her . " When I was putting tbe irons on him at Newark , previous to bringing him to Nottingham Gaol , after his committal , and when _Hrtsrlbj iat beside him , standing on his legs , he said to the crowd , «¦ Gentlemen , this is the man ( pointing to Uaselby ) who throw the girl into the river . " Thomas Spencer said : I brought the prisoners to Notting ham on their committal . As we were coming on the road , we stopped at Batcliffe , where I gave them something to eat and drink . Horner said to naselby , "You _ean neither tat nor drink , and I can . You are going to Nottingham fo be _jadged , and you'llhave to confess before jou die . " He afterwards said , "One told yon to throw her in , and another saw you do it . " Haselby said , "Aje _. who ! " And Horner replied , " Why , the devil told jou to do it . " This occurred
last Saturday . —Ann _Yuomanson said * . The _deceated was my daughter by my first hutband . I saw her body at Newark , and identified it . Up to July last , she had always boruo a good character , when she suddenly left me , and I never taw her alive after . The witness was _drewed in deep mourning , aud wa 9 much affected . —Mr , Crott , surgeon of Newark : Had seen the deceased several times before her death . He had attended her for the venereal complaint . Wheu he last saw her she was _sufficing very severely from secondary symptoms , and had several _larga buboes on the upper part of the'thigh and lower part of the body . At the time he examined tbe body these sores remain « d . The deceased had evidentlystruggled severely after having been thrown into the water . He had no doubt death was caused by drowning .
There were no marks upon the body indicative of violence having been used to cause death . — Thomas F . At-Burnaby , gentleman , coroner of Newark , produced the depositions taken on the inquest . Upon being cautioned _, the prisoner said , " I don't know the deceased : I don ' t know that ever I saw her in ray life . I was not near the lock last night ; I went to bed at a quarter to eleven , and have witnesses to prove it . " Ou the second day he suid , " I and another young man , named William Uaselby , who lives as 'boots' at the Swan and Salmon Inn , » t Newark , met a young woman , whom I do not know , near Mr * . Weller ' * shop in _Stodman-street , on Tuesday night last , abouthalf-pait ten o ' clock . We all wenttogether down the Swan and Salmon yard , leading to tke navigation side , and also to the lock entry from _Castle-gate , into a
stable in the Swan and Salmon yard . We then went down to the water side , where I shook hands with the girl , and was going up the lock entry , when Haselby called the girl back to look at a pole which was in the water . She did so , aud was standing at the edge of the bank , when Haselby pushed her head first into the water , and ran away ; he did not come back again . I ran to her assistance , and did my best to get her out , but could not . She did not cry out , _Jbut I shouted for assistance several time * , aud no one came . I stayed untill could set her no more , when I went away . If any one had come to my assist . aiice , I could have got her out . There was a pole floating in tbe water , and I tried to reach it , but could not ; If I could have got tbe pole 1 could have got her out . I then went to ray lodgings in Parliament-street , and as 1
was going to the back door I saw Haselby knocking at the front . He asked me to let him in , but I said h < could not sleep with me tbat night . He then inquired Whether I had got the woman out , and I told him I had not , but that if he bad stopped I could havo done so , I saw him sesterday , when he said be did not _rasan to chuck the girl into the water , but that he was fresh . He curtninly was fresh , but not so much so as not to know what he was doing . " On the third day he made another state _, ment , which was very similar to that given on the pre . _vious day . —Mr . Macauley , with much eloquence and at great length , addressed the jury , clearing up many dark points against the prisoner with great advantage , and setting hi the most _favourable view every _eweumatanee fa mitigating nature . The learned judge summed up very carefully and with much calmness , and impartially commented upon the various parts of the ovidence . Whilst the jury wero considering their verdict , Superintendent Whitworth came into the court in great haste ,
and informed the counsel and attorneys lor the _piOSDCUtion , that a female named Cree had just arrived from Newark to give evidence on the trial . She was not sure which ofthe prisoners it was that committed the murder until she saw them , but that she saw a young man ( Horner , she believed ) , on the night in question , strike the deceased with a pole , wrap her head in her shawl , and throw her into the Trent . His lordship , upon being informed of this circumstance , directed tho woman ' s deposition to be taken . After about a quarter of au hour's consultation , the jury returned a > erdict of Not Guilty against the prisoner . Having perused the document of the strange witness who had just arrived at the eleventh hour , the Chief Justice ordered Horner to be retained in custody , and discharged Haselby on his own recognisances to appear again whtn called upon , In the course of Saturday evening , Horner was discharged from custody in obedience to an order from the judge ' s lodgings , thus showing that no reliance is placed on the testimony of tbe woman Cree .

T he prisoner was a dressmaker , and the body of the child was discovered in a state of putrefaction by her mistress , under the bed , wrapped in a black cloth atad an old petticoat .

Arson . —Joseph Way was indicted for maliciously setting fire to a stack of corn , the property of Mary Ann Biles , at Milberne St . Andrew . _ From the evidence it appeared that , on the evening of the 31 st Jan ,, the prisoner and some others were drinking together at the Oak Inn , at Milborne St . Andrew , und that , between eight and nine o ' clock , the prisoner having previously left the house an alarm of fire was heard . The persons drinking in the tap-room left the house , and they found the prl . _soncr standing outside . He then exclaimed , pointing to the fire , "Look at that light there ! " Onoofthe men said _, it must be the moon , or the light from the mail-couch , which passed the spot at that hour . The prisoner said , " No , it must be a fire ; " and thereupon they went to the farm of Mr . Benjamin Biles , where they discovered a riek
of barley on fire . The prisoner assisted in extinguishing this fire , and he wns heard to say , "This is enough to open any farmer ' s ejus . Rather than turn a man out that ' s got a family , they had better give him a soverei gn to keep him in work . " ' The prisoner suddenly disappeared , and in a few minutes afterwards another lire was discovered witlrimSOO yards of Jir . _lliles ' s riek , and the prisoner pretended to be very active iu extinguishing the flames . This second live proved to be a wheat stack-belonging to the " Widow _JBiles ; " anil it wns givTri { _ft . i . evidence that , tho prisoner said , whilst _suri-omidediby tho neighbours who were exerting themselves on _thebcijision , " Sow's yuur t : iiio to $ _]> cak out , huc'ilisu this firo _. wiil bC hl'lllied to those who are nut ot work , _ultlumgll _tlll-y _niighin't have anything to do with it more _thaii other

people . " A few winutes after this he was met in a gateway in the neighbourhood , running with all speed from the direction of the second fire to tne spot where the first fire took place . The person who then saw hira citmu in close emitact with him , and _obserting he was breathless and agitated , he suid to him : " Holloa , my friend , who are you V The prisoner made no answer , und the witness tooit hold of bim , exclaiming , as he pointed towards the fire , "Do you see that—what is itt" " It ' s a fire , " h _» replied . " Witness said , How do you know that ! " and he mado no answer . At this moment two gentlemen came up on horseback , and , afc they approached the prisoner and the witness , one ot them exclaimed , "For God ' s _sakeopsn the gate ! la * witness said , "No , I shall not open the gate till I know who this man is . " The prisoner then said his name was Joseph Way , and the witness immediately let bun go , and ran as fast as he could to the p lace whence the flames Issued . Tho witness had known Joseph Way before , but
the wight was dark , and he did not _rwiognisehiui at first . In addition to this evidence , it was proved that about ten minutes before the occurrence of the first fire , the prisoner purchased a box of lucifer matches , and that during the second fire his conduct was so indecent , that the clergyman of the parish felt it his duty to ' reprove him . He made u » e of very violent language , and amused himself by throwing dung at one of the persons present . He whs also observed to rtirup the fire with a pole , under pretence of putting it out , but the clergyman fearing that he was adopting means which might extend the flames , desired the pole should be taken away from bim . Subsequent to this evening , a few lucifer matches were found in tbe prisoner's bed-room , aud evidence was given to show that _tlwsa did not belong to the same box which ho had purchased shortly before the fire . The jury returned a verdict of Guilty . The prisoner was sentenced to transportation for life , and when taken from the bar , he strongly protested that he was innocent of the crime imputed to him , Tuhbdav .
Pierre Beuard Mallet was indicted for the wilful murder of Johu Meckew _, at Netherbury , on the oth Dtcein . b « r . Ths prisoner , although he had been for many years in England , it still a Frenchman - , he was therefore asked whether he would be tried by a jury of English _, men or a jury consisting of half Englishmen and half foreigners , Ho at once said , "By Englishmen . " It appeared that the prisoner was a kind of tramp , and was always accompanied by a woman who passed as his wife , but went by the name of Kitty . They travelled through and about Dorsetshire , and were well known . The woman had lived with him for fourteen years . On the evening of the Cth of December , they weie at Palmer's publichouse at West Clifton ; the woman became very much intoxicated , and the prisoner was anxious to get her away ,
and took up almost every person's cup of beer and drank outof it . The man and the woman , cursed each other , and he held up a stick at her and threatened to beat her . The deceased was also in the bouse , and he said to the woman , I am going to Btidport , and I will see you , The woman said she had lived with the prisoner fourteen years , but site was not his wife . That he was jealous of every one , and she would not live with him any longer , Some time was cousumed iu this jarring , and at last the prl & oner left . Soon after the woman went out and then the deceased . The _prissner had gone to sec some one , and bad not _proceedsd iii the direct road to Bridport ; but he afterwards overtook a man ( _Reper ) , aud asked if he had seen u man and woman on the road _. Roper said he bad not seen them , but he could hear their
voices at tbat moment , and directed the attention of the prisoner to that circumstance . The prisoner theu said , "I've got _« stick in my hand , and if I catch themut _somethiug ( you know what ) , I'll give them a good beating . " He had a good-sized walking-stick nith him _. Roper and tho prisoner then separated ; but in a few * minutes , Roper hu « rd two persons crying "Murder . " It appeared to proceed from a man and woman . He instantly started to the spot whence the sounds proceeded . He got into a field adjoining the turnpike-road , and looked over the hedge , saying , "Stop , they ' ve had enough . " Theprisoner was then beating a man , who WM on the ground . The man was holding up his arm to prevent the blows striking his head , The man so striking was the prisoner , who said , "D—nyour eyes , you ' re not half a
man for me , " and he then gave him a blow with his fist . The woman at this time was staggering about the road , cursing and swearing , and was as drunk as could be . Roper asked him if the woman was his wife , and prisoner _Baid she was , but the woman said , " You ' re a liar ; I ' ve been with you many years , but I'll not go with you again , " Theprisoner bad previously told Roper that he had caught them in the fact . The woman was so drunk that she eould not stand upright . Roper then went to the man on the ground , and told him to get up , and he would protect him . The deceased got up , went iuto an adjoining field and then lay down in a ditch . The woman went away , and the prisoner followed her . Roper went back to the deceased , and talked to him for ten minutes , and told him he would catch cold . Deceased said his arm was broken ,
the man had beaten him so , and he would have him before his betters the next day . No one was then in liquor but the woman , In about an hour and a half after this , a woman , who lived near _Chilcott's public house , which was nearly two miles from the place where the man was lying in the ditch , heard a noise outside her door . She went out and heard a groan , and then she saw it proceedsd from a man who was lying in the mud in the road , A man of the name ofBiddlecomb came and took the man , who turned out to be the deceased , by the arm , and begged him to get up , but he did not speak . The woman procured a caudle , and then saw there was a wound iu the deceased's face aud head . The blood had dried over the wound . The deceased never spoke . The woman went to Chilcott _' _a publicheuse . She afterwards
returned to the deceased , and Brown , the constable , came , and then some men carefully removed the deceased , and put him under a garden-wall in tbe road . The witness aw him about two in the morning , atid he was then snoring . Every one thought he was drunk . The nexi morning ( _Sunday ) , about six o ' clock , the deceased was found where he was left the night before . He was quite dead , The pritouer haii told _several persons that he had caught the deceased with his wife , and had beaten him well about his head and ears . —The jury returned a verdict of Guilty of Manslaughter . —The prisoner _wufined u shilling , end discharged .

His strength , however , was unfortunately _iusuilicicnt for the purpose , for the poor man fell upon the back of his neck , and sustained an injury ofthe spinal vertebras , inducing paralysis , and ultimately causing his death .

Loss Of The Barque Francis Spaight, And ...
LOSS OF THE BARQUE FRANCIS SPAIGHT , AND TWENTY-ONE _PERSONS . The ship England ' s Queen arrived in the Mersey on Monday afternoon from Bombay and the Cape of Good Hope , which latter port she left on the 19 th of January . This is the latest arrival from that quarter ; and to Captain Sheddings , the commander of the vessel , we are indebted for the Cape of Good Hops and Natal Shi pping and Mercantile Gazette ofthe 9 th of January , conveying the folIowin » melancholy _intelligence of the loss ofthe Francis _Spaight;—" During the night between Tuesday and _YVedneiday last , it blew a violent gale from the northward , and at six , a . m ., on Wednesday , the squalls were very severe .
" At eight o ' clock , on the 30 th , the wind came more to the westward , in a hard squall , accompanied with torrents of rain , when the barque Francis Spaight , of 866 tons , from Manilla to London , was Observed driving towards the strand , and an attempt was unfortunately made to set the mainsail , which brought the vessel ' s broadside to tlie shore ; and ia this position , with the mainsail aback , she continued to drive until she struck tbe ground near the slave lodge , about a mile from the _villa-je of Papendorp , when , in consequence of being broadside to the beach , she rolled heavily , the sea occasionally breaking over her decks . A whale boat and a surf boat were sent
from Cape Town . The whale boat succeeded in getting alongside the barque , and a line was thrown over the vessel by tlie rocket apparatus . The moment the boat touched the side , the crew of the barque , who appeared to have lost all presence of mind , rushed into her , when she was lilled and capsized , and , sad to relate , the captain and fourteen men of the crew were drowned , together with four men of the boat ' s crew , named Thomas Williams , William Taylor , John Jackson , and Charles Norton . " A surf boat and another boat were also sent frem the North Wharf , by Messrs . T . and J . Siuelair ; both boats capsized , and two men , named Dollie and Feter , were drowned .
" The following are the names ofthe crew saved , , vii . * . —James Robertson , carpenter , and John Mc _s Leod , seaman . " Captain Patterson and the following men were e drowned , viz .: —Thomas Uaydon , mate ; Magnus s Smith , second matt , * Henry Ifiate , steward ; David i Evans , Edward McDonald , George _Ilutchinj-s _, John _U Smith , of Leitu ; John Smith , of Edinburgh ; and d William Widder , seaman ; William Ryuies , cook ; ; John Mittin , Thomas Bediloe , William Hall , and d Richard Parker , _apprentices .
* ' It is exactly twenty-five years since a northerly ly gain occurred in Table Bay during the summer 5 r months ; and on reference to the _ffowrumcnj Gazette te ofthe year 1821 , we find that on the 4 th of January ry a northerly gale , therein _ilesignated a hurricane , e , blew with great violence , when the Danish ship India ii I ackct and the English ships Dorah and Emma , a , were stranded ; but we believe no loss of life then en occurred . _^ Had the head-sails ofthe Francis Spaicht ht been set , instead of the mainsail , and the vessel run im on the beach , stem on , and forced up by keeping the he head sails upon iicr . it is very probable that the whole ) lc ol the crew would have been saved . " The vessel is broken in midships , and is a total tal wreck ; and very little of the cargo will be saved un- mmjured .
" Ihe manifest . and mail have not yet been found , id , out , so far as it bus been ascertained , the _canio con- unsisted of sugar , hemp , tobacco , cigars , raUaiis _, and ind sundry other articks . "
