The High Sheriff , City Sheriff , and a numerate cavalcade ^ formed a procession ^ to Dringhousetv at which place their Lordships arrived at four o'clock . On Sunday morning , their Lordships attended divine service at the Cathedral . Prayers were read by the Revs . Messrs , Rayne and Buhner , the Very Her . the Dean also assisting at the altar . The sermon was preached hy the High Sheriff's Chaplain , from Romans iL 12 th and 16 th verses . After the g 8 UMMEK ABSKES .
service , the Judge * partook of the Sacrament . Ou Mondaj moraine , Mr . Baron . Aldebsok attended at the GnfldhaU , but { here were no prisoners for trial . Bills were preferred against John Holmes , the jockey , for perjury arising out of a Chancery suit in 1835 , against James Richardson , of Hull Itoad . for obstructing a footpath . —A ' true bill was found in the first case , and in the second ignored . The Learned Judge , -with the Recorder , Magistrates , Alderman , City Sheriff , < fcc ., breakfasted with the Lord Mayor , at the Mansion House .
CROWN COURT . —York Castle . Mr . Justice Williams arrived at twelve o ' clock , and the jisual formula having been gone through , the following gentlemen were sworn on THE GRAND JURY . J . H . Lowflier , Esq . M . P ., Fobemax . Thomas Barstow , Esq . John Bell , Esq . Robert Dennison , Esq . Sackville Lane Fox , Esq . J . Hulton , Esq . Andrew Lawson , Esq . G . Lloyd , Esq . C . Oxley , Esq . William L . ? . Scott , Esq . G . Serjeantson , Esq . . C . Smith , Esq . H . V- Straanbenzir , Esq . J . Walker , Esq . J . York , Esq . Edward York , Esq . J . C . Brooke , E ^ - James Hall , Esq . G . Ramsden , Esq . J . S . Stanhope , Esq . , J . Norrdy , Esq . E . M . Vavasour , Esq . Her Majesty ' s proclamation against vice , profone * hp-ss , and immorality having hpen Tead , Mr . Justice Williams charged the Grand Jury . He observed : hat the calendar , both as regarded the number and malignity of the officers , might be described as below the average amount . In addressing afew obserwations to them , he should , according to his usual custom , confine himself strictly to the cases in the calendar . He regretted to observe that two cases of murder would come before them for
investigation . One of the . se was the case of Win . Seller , oi Malton , and from the publicity and openness with which the crime was committed , and some other circumstances mentioned in the depositions , they would probably arrive at the conclusion that the unfortunate man was deranged I but although they might be of that opinion , still he wonld recommend them to find a bill that tte prisoner might be detained in safe custody for Hfe . With respect to the case of M . Maynes , charged with the murder of Burks , of Leeds , he observed that the evidence was of a very different description . From the depositions , there was no reason to suppose she was of deranged intellect , and it seemed to him that it -would be their unwelcome duty to put her on her trial ; for upon the depositions
at was barely doubtful that some laudanum iiad been administered to the child , and if they wer « of opinion that the laudanum was the cause of death , then only another question remained , viz ., whether it was administered with Latent to destroy , or merely from a mistaken and foolish opinion that it might prove of advantage to the child , even though given to a degree which was -unskilful and improper . That , however , would be a fearful and anxious enquiry before another Jury , who had a more arduous and critical dntyto perform . Several cases of manslaughter would come before them , none of which w ^ re of any great malignity , or raised any doubt either as to the fact or law . One case presented apeculiar feature—that of Joseph King , charged with killing Wm . Bleasdale , at Leeds .
In that case , the man did not die until two or three months after the alleged injuries were committed . First s they would of course be satisfied that the deceased died from external injuries , received at the hands of the prisoner . Being thus satisfied , then as the wounds were received in a scuffle and light , the case would be one of manslaughter . Another peculiar case was that of four men , " charged with bein " accessories to the killing of a man named Enoch Guest ,- at Sheffield . Before they could put these men on their trial , they must be satisfied that Joseph Herod and Alfred Jones were principal *! in that manslaughter ; and then they would consider whether the prisoners by their pre sence , counsel , or threats assisted in the
commission of the offc-nce . In the catalogue of injuries to the person , there was the case ol Wm . Jennings , which , from the depositions , he could not account for on the ground of motive . Itis the most extraordinary and brutal conduct ever heard tell of , towards a child three years of age . Malice or provocation seemed , accordingly to the relative ages of the parties , xo be entirely out of the question . However , the nature of the injury was such as to bring it under a recent Act of Parliament , and if they were satisfied that Jennings was the man who committed the offence , he wonld recommend them to find a bill . Whether he was the man , was pecu liarly und specifically a question for themselves . There was a charge against a man named Paul
Higgins , for sending a threatening letter , threatening to killWm . Thomas Johnson , in which the evidence , as disclosed by t * . e depositions , was meagre in the extreme . By the 3 d and 4 th George IT . cap . 54 , the sending such a letteT , with or without a name or signature , was an offence punished with some severity . Whether the evidence of its being the letter of the prisoner wonld be amended , and made full and ample before them , he did not know ; but the evidence , as taken before the magistrates , only showed that one person by holding a letter written by the pr isoner in one hand , and the alleged threatening letter in the other , was enabled to say , that it was the same hand-writing . This was no evidence at all ; beause it is certain that in
order-to speak to the character of hand-writing , a person must have seen the party write , which appeared not to have been the case in that instance . The next he should allude to , was the case of JMary Thornton , who was charged , not with receiving stolen money , but with being an accessory , " by harbouring , relieving , comforting , and assisting " certain men , amongst others her husband . He did not know m what shape the indictment might be presented to them ; but unquestionably before you rind a taH * you must be satisfied that * ae has done some act that has a tendency to hide , conceal , or further the escape of those who committed the felony , and with a knowledge that they had done so . Because , imagine that some of the stolen property , not
from any motive , good , bad or indifferent , had been £ ~ Vf-n to _ this woman , unless with a guilty knowledge on her part , or to screen them from the probable pursuit ofjnsidce , it-woBldaot amount to any charge , fhere is a further difficulty in this case , her husband was living with her , and the merciful construction of the law is this , that miles * a wife takes a separate part in the commission of a felony , the law presumes that she so acts under the dominion of her husband as to free her from any share as a guilty agent ; and it would be rather stepping out of the ordinary course to say , that because a woman has a burglar for her husband , she snould lock him out of his
own honse . His Lord-. ship then referred to the cases of William Wales , charged with embezzlement , and Joseph Radcliffe , charged with not having delivered his personal estate over to the commissioners in a fiat of bankruptcy . In the former case , it would be requisite to prove that Wales intended to convert the money to his own nse , _ which might be inferred by his denying the receipt of it , or giving a false acco ' unt of the matter ; and in the latter , the prosecutor would have to show that all the regular forms had been complied with , as well as that the bankrupt abstracted the money with a guilty knowledge . With these observations , he dismissed them to their dnries .
The Grand Jury shortly after returned with a true tall , and the Court proceeded with the following trials : — - ^ Joseph Morton , 65 , was charged with having , on the 7 th of April , at Penistone , in the West Riding , stolen one ewe lamb , the property of Mr . John Beever . The Hon . J . S . Wortley and Mr . Otebesd were for the prosecution ; Mr . Duxdas for the prisoner . The prosecutor is a farmer , and on the 6 th of April , he missed a lamb from his flock , having counted them on the night previous . Shortly after three o ' clock on the morning of that day , a carrier named Webster , who was proceeding to Sheffield , saw the prisoner with a bundle ; . he offered to carry it in his cart , but the former refused . A woman named Cartwright , who was walking along the side
of the cart , went and felt the bundle , which she suited contained alamb ; and in consequence of this , tiie carrier seized the bundle , and opened it , which was louud to contain a lamb , its throat having been cmt , and its limbs cut off . When they arrived at Wortley , the prisoner was given into charge , and a clasp knife was ihen found npon him , stained with Wool . The prisoner alleged that he found the lamb on the road , and called witnesses to character . Guilty—" Six mouths hard labour in Wakefield House of Correction . " Joshua BeaumonLjO , was charged with stealing from the person of Robert Hadley , of Sheffield , a watch , chain , and seal He was also charged with not appearing and pleading to an indictment fonnd ayainst him at the Spring Assizes ,

Baker , of Acomb , near York . He pleaded Not Guilty to having , on the 21 st June , stolen other eight ewes . Mr . Ellsley , Recorder of York , conducted the prosecution . The facts of the case were shortly these—the prosecutor having missed his siinan .
went in company with his servant in search of them , where he found them in the possession of a man named Abbey , at Rothwell toll-bar , who was driving them towards Wakefield market . He stated that Strangeways gave the sheep to him to take to Wakefield , where he promised to meet him at the Woodman Inn . It also appeared that the prisoner had engaged a herse at Corn for two days ; but obtaining intelligence of the apprehension of Abbey , he . returned alter an absence of a few hours . The pr ^ on er and Abbey were both apprehended , and after . an examination before two West Riding magis trates , were committed for trial on the charge .

STABBING AT HOR 8 FOJITH . Joseph Brook , ( 33 , J wasindicted for having , on the ]/ th March , at Horsforth , stabbed Henry Slater . Mr . Marshall and Ae Hon . J . S . Wortley appeared for the prosecution ; but no counsel for the Pnsoner . The prosecutor is a wheelwright , at Horsforth , and the prisoner was a cloth'er at that town . On the night of Saturday , the 17 th March , the parties met accidentally at the King ' s Arms pubhe-house ; prosecutor ordered a pint of ale , which the prisoner drew over to himsell . and drank
it off . On being remonstrated with , he said that if Slater said " much more he would swallow both him and the pint . " He was in liquor at the time . A man named Whittaker was therewith a dog , which snappedat the prisoner ; he , in consequence , drew Odthis knife , and threatened to cut Whittaker ' s t / iropple&nA the dog ' s legs off . The prisoner left the ^ house about a quarter of an hour before the prosecutor ; and on the latter overtaking him , he was wounded binder his left arm , without any provocation . Prosecutor knocked the prisoner down , on which he roared out " murder . "
Mr . Wilson , surgeon , was called to dres 3 the wound of the prosecutor , and he was for some time confined to his bed . In defence , the prisoner said , he had been badly used at the public-house , and he only took out the knife in self-defence , as he was knocked down and kicked , the persons egging one another on by shouting d- n him , drive into him . " He al * o handed in a plan , showing the position of the public-bouse , the road , and their houses , which proved that the
prosecutor went out of his way in following the prisoner . The witnesses were re-called , who ad- nutted that the plan was substantially correct . After the Judge had carefully summed up , the Jury found the prisoner "Guilty of a common assault . " His Lordship said the verdict was perfectly correct , but cautioned parties against gratifying their passion for revenge , eren in the heat of blood , which frequently led to fatal occurrences . He should sentence him to three months' hard labour in Wake field House of Correction .
The Grand Jury ignored the bills against John Blackburn , Joseph Greenxviith , and Thomas Vlley , for aiding and assisting in a manslaughter , and against Mary Thornton , charged with being an accessary to the Huddercneld Bank burglary . The Court adjourned at six o'clock .

It appeared from the evidence , that on the day in question the prisoner , with the principals above named , were drinking together at a put > lic house , near Park Honse Farm , at which they remained until eleven o ' clock . At that time , Mr . Ward , the occupier of the farm , heard his dogs bark , and called up the deceased , who was in his service , and another man . They proceeded down stairs , where
they found Harewood and Jones . The men re . fused to leave the place , and begun attacking Mr . Ward . On this the deceased and his fellow-servant went and armed themselves with pitchforks , and a dreadful struggle ensued between them and the robbers , during which the forks were taken from the tenant men , and used against them . During the afrrav , the deceased was knocked down by » heavy blow , and laid helpless on the ground Harewood then , assisted to carry the deceased into the house , offered , to bring a doctor , and expressed himself extremely sorry for what had happened .
