      ? FBHJHTFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT , JCCD JIIBACIJLOUS ESCAPE OF FRA 31 GTJ 8 O'CONNOR , PB 15 CE GEORGE OF CAMBRIDGE , AND SETEBAL OTHERS . Os Monday night last , the down train to Leeds jad proceeded as far as Masborongh , where the gjtfisia train for Irfseds joins it . We are not Buffi-^ sBtlj informed npon the subject to say whether Qje L ondon train ot the Sheffield train should arrive gjst at the MasboroHgh station j bat we Bhould suppose tie latter , as the distance is ehort ; be

      jiai , however , as it may , the point of junction being close to the Etation , the pnbtic has every ^| V » to expect that ihe usual precaution to prevent collis ions should be observed ; especially when the gjgonce nsed by both trains does not exceed two Ifflii dred yards , Upon the night in question , the X ^ o don train had most fortunately Blackened I its pace when nearing the station ; for just at I the jnncuoH , and as one naif of the London train lad passed , it was run into b y the Sheffield jrain , Hie York and Daxlingion carriages were namediaKly after the engine , the nail department

      followed ! and then the Leeds carriages . The engine sad Yori carriages had passed the point of junction when the remainder of . the train came into fearful collision with the Sheffield engine , and so trem endous was the shock , that the heavy iron ssnk by which the mail carriage was attached to fiie Leeds carriages was snapped , as if by magic , the ieeds carriages and mail being pitched completely cff tie rails , and to a considerable distance . The p& sengers were suddenly roused by the crash which , as we learn , was terrifically alarming , and -si once made £ he best of their vr&y to u term

      / ma . " Mr . O'Coxsob has informed ns that so close was &e engine of the Sheffield train to where he sat , that he could , without bexding forward , pat his 1 iaad npon ii , while the head *> f it was all but in the j ta niage of his Royal Highness Prince George The steps of tie carriage were torn off , and the Infers of the mail shattered . Fortunately the collision took place close in fh » station , vrhere there is a considerable it > the stanonvrhere there is a considerable

      , extent of leTel space . The front carriage I went on to the station , and the passengers 1 for York neither felt the shock or knew anything I of the matter until the routed occupants of the 1 other carriages made their appearance and com-I mesced tsanvassing fox seats . After nearly an hour 1 spent in a fruitless endeavour to get the mall and I the Leeds carriages replaced on the Tails , the train I started for Leeds , where it arrived considerably i after its time .

      1 "We nave chronicled thi 3 accident as we have I learnt it , but we cannot allow it to pass without I Bome brief notice . It -will be in the recol-1 lecdon of our readers that the directors and 1 managers of ibe North Midland Railway did I Eome month 3 ago , discharge iheir practiced engine-I drivers , because the men would not submit to a reduction of some twenty-fire per cent , from their ¦ wa ges— of course , save , save , save , being thB order -of the asy , the experiment -was made upon the most isdastrious portion of tie eommnnity , sad Trial © ttb hear nothing of a reduction in the high officials , it

      appears that the really working portion wer » all treated to the eliding scale of twenty-fiie - pa cent . t > f a reduction . The . death of poor Mi . Habt £ T , who was literally smashed to atoms , is not yet for-1 gotten , until at length accident after accident , if I lie events deserve so mild a term , have followed in I qaick succession , owing to the grasping policy of the money-mongers , who , by the bye , took especial good care to raise the fares , at the time when they reduced the wages of their men . Amongst other importations thiB life-preserving communityimported fiie rtffian by whose condnct poor Mr . Babvey

      I lost hi 3 life-I To show the little care entertained for ibe public afetj we > hall just state one fact . This said engine driver , that 13 , the man by whose recklessness the life of Mr . Habvey was sacrificed , was well known upon the Newcastle line ; and so ferocious and brutal was his condnct , that while there he acquired the appropriate appellation of " HeU-Jbre Jack " Could the Directors of the North Midland have engaged this ruffian without making due enquiry , and Trnh learning the above fact ! or did the Newcastle Directors allow them to do so without commnlic&ang it ! 1 Let ns lave an answer to that qnestion ; as one of the parties must be highly culpable .

      " We shall relate a fact which came to us from an eye witness . Upon the morning on which Mr . HiiTET lost his life , and while the bye-standers we lost in sorrow ; the ruffian , who had himself lost a part of his hand , looked on with apparent indifference , and more than once , in the most cold blooded manner , exclaimed , " Pooh , its nothing , I have often had ten times worse jobs than that . " One word more and we have done , and that is"ftlU ihose who care but little for the lives and comforts of poor engine-drivers , now cry out against the directors of thi 3 lin » , when the lives of their own order are placed in jeopardy , by the cupidity of I monej-mongers and railway directors I We shall I see .

      Eiciieu The Unexploted At Glasgow.—On Tuesday Forenoon, The Interest Of The Citizens Was Considerably

      eiciieu The Unexploted at Glasgow . —On Tuesday forenoon , the interest of the citizens was considerably

      , dj me appearance on tne streets of several hundred men and women , belonging to the nnemp loyed poor , walking in procession . They mustered in the Green , ander what management we have not learned , and from thence proceeded through the principal parts of the city , headed by a person bearing a black flag . Several other individuals , both men and women , carried boards , bearing inscriptions , on one Of which were the words " Bread or Death . " The party had a truly miserable and squalid appearance , many of them having little more clothing than was necessary for the purposes of decency ; while their whole aspect betokened the lowest stage of wretrhedness . Not a few had the appearanco of being

      redneed tradesmen and factory girls ; but it was not difficult to discover that a considerable proportion of them belonged to that outcast class , always numerous in Glasgow , even in the best of times . Their object "was to excite the sympathy of the inhabitants ia their behalf , but further than the display made for this purpose they did not go . No begging wasattempted , nor the slightest breach of the peace committed , and after traversing the greater part © f the city , they returned to their original place of muster in the green , and quietly dispersed . A party of police hung on the skirts of the procession as it wound throHgh the city , but as we have alreadv observed , no cause of interference was given , and the poor creatures were left to pursue their way unmolested . —Glasgow Araus .

      Tricks Of The Anti-Corn .League And The Worth Of Their Public Meetings. To Tbe Editor Of Thb Northern Stab.

      TRICKS OF THE ANTI-CORN . LEAGUE AND THE WORTH OF THEIR PUBLIC MEETINGS . TO TBE EDITOR OF THB NORTHERN STAB .

      Sib _—You have doubtlesa heard of the resolution ¦ which these enemies to Dative industry have come to upon the subject of their meetings , namely , that expressive of their determination not to alJow any ataanger to be present unless admitted by ticket , thongh you may not have heard of the manne ? in -which such tickets are issued ; I Trill therefore give yon an account of it . Instead of leaving tbeir tictets at tneTariona Libraries , as most of the conveners of ticket-meetings do ( and as , for convenience sake , one ¦ weuld have snpposed the league -would do ) , they -will not suffer ft single ticket to be issued except at the rooms of the Association , -where the greatest care is taken not to give them to asy but Leagners ; and as the persons -who have the issuing of such tickets are League orators , and from their long connection -with the agitation , kno-w the faces of nearly all who are dirtin £ Utsbed for then' love or opposition to it , their object is essay attained ; a direct refusal being given to every applicant -who by one previous act or word haa incurred the displeasure of the League .

      I had a splendid instance of this kind of League justice afforded me by some advocates of the same during my application for -tickets for the first of the great weekly meetings of the League , which are now being held every Wednesday , in the Theatre Royal , Drnry T . » t » , » , and which are called " public . - 1 called at the chief division of their Association , 448 , West Strand , and amongst the members whom I met 'with there -was the notorious Sidney Smith , whom I had previously given great offence to by telling him , at one of his meetings , that the people -wanted something more th * n cheap bread . It was set mj intention to busi

      speak to him , nor hia duty to Bpeak to me ; my nesB being vrith the secretary , who -was tben attending to the Teguests of some formet applicants . As , bovf eyer , my Tint was unexpected , and the secretary had not been tampered -with concerning it , and as Mr . Smith did not -wish me to hare a ticket , he thonght I had better not speak to the secretary : accordingly , by way of a prelude to a lie , he asked me iT I were & subscriber to the Leagne . I told him him that I wa » not ; bHt , in the advertisement calling the meeting , no mention -whatever -was made of subscribers , as it distinctly itsted that the pit and galleries -were for the members , : && the boxes ior tne public He told me tisat not a

      Bingle person who came within the meaning of the term " public" should be admitted ; and that they ( the League ) meant to have the meeting all to themselves 1 told him that he had put an entirely wrong construc tion on the advertisement calling' the meeting in ques tion , and that hB had denied me a ticket because he knew I was a Chartist This he denied ; bat , in order to get rid of a discourse in which it was evident he was worsted , he said " I do not sit here to talk to you , or to enter into an explanation with yon : you have got your answer , and now be off . " One of the League , who stood near Mr . Smith during the whole of our disconree , and who had beard every word that was uttered , here ( by way of offering additional insult ) asked what was the matter . I told him that

      Mr . Smith had refused me a ticket ; and that the construction which he ( Mr . Smitb ) put upon the meaning of the advertisement calling the meeting t was a wrong one ;* 'well suppose it is ?" snappishly observed he , " you have got yoar answer : and now ( pointing towards the room door ) go , and make whatever use of it you please . " Having again told them not to call this meeting a " public" one after what Mr . Smith had said respecting it , I left , and eTe a very few hours were over , obtained three double tickets , for myself and others , from an office of Ihe League , at which I happened to be unknown . I attended the meeting , and just as it was about to be dissolved , harled two hundred copies of the enclosed addresses of Eiri Stanhope ' s Society for the protection of

      Sntish Industry , amongst the numerous merchants , bankers , and manufacturers , who were congregated in the pit , on whom they descended in a shower , to the no small chagrin of the League , who , doubtless , wished me and my papers fat enough . It will be more difficult than ever for me to obtain a ticket to a League meeting now ; but the more opposition that I meet with in this respect , the greater plea I shall hava against the exclusive proceedings , and I here tell them that unless they abandon their packed meeting scheme , and come forward as they ought to do , and meet the people ; there are persons hi both " House , '" who will at no distant day , declare that they are afnid to do so I and Parliament , I believe , will decide accordingly . Trusting that you will insert the above ,

      YORKSHIRE SPRING ASSIZES . CROWN COURT , Tbesdat , Mabch 21 . ( Before Mr . Justice Coltman . ) MUKDKB AT ILKLET . Joseph Hey , 4 ' 2 , was charged with having , at Ilfcley , in the West-Ridipg , on the 17 th of Deoembet last , wilfully and maliciously murdered William Hustrrick . Mr . Wilkins , Mr . Ovkeesd , and Mr . Habdt , appeared for the prosecution ; Mr . Baixes and Mr . Bliss defended the prisoner . Mr . Wilkins , in stating the case against the prisoner , said—Gentlemen of the Jury , the very announcement of the nature of the offence with which the prisoner now stands charged will be quite sufficient to prepare your minds for the discharge of a

      serious and painful duty . The circumstances of the case itself are quite sufficient to impress you with the necessity of entering on the investigation with more than ordinary scrutiny and care , because the prisoner at the bar was never seen by any human eye to commit the offence with which he stands charged , and if you convict him at all , it must must be on what is termed oircamstantial evidence . The prisoner , Joseph Hey , was a wheelwright , living at Boamsley . The deceased , William fciustwick , was a nei £ bbour of his , and the parties appear to have beea on good terms until the 16 ih of December , when they went to a public-house called " Lister ' s Arms , " at Ilkley , about eight o ' clock in the evening . At that time there was nothiog in their conduct to justify

      the belief that any ill fe&lmg subsisted between them . . No angry words passed ; the deceased had done nothing to provoke the prisoner , and the prisoner had done nothing to provoke the deceased . Whilst they were a : the Lister ' s Arms , a man namei Joseph Illingwortb called in , and remained there until vhe prisoner and the deceased left tbe house , about a quarter past tea o ' clock . The parties were then all fresh , but the deceased was in a much worse condition with regard to drunkenness than the prisoner . When they were about to leave the bouse , tbe deceased expressed a wish to stay all night . This the prisoner strongly opposed , and told him he was talking nonsense — he had faT better go home , as n was a fine clear night , and he then pushed

      him out of the passage . This was a little past ten o ' clock . Shortly after twelve a man named Thomas Hardwick , a private watchman in the service of Mr . Middleion , was watching in the back-yard of a house belonging to olr . Burgess , the' steward to Mr . Midleton . Whilst there , he heard some person cry , either—Help me—or , Let me get up . He also heard the sound of a human voice , and other noises , which continued until about one o ' clock , three quarters of an hour . The noise appeared to be near the river in a line with the steward ' s house , and it seemed as if some persons were throwing stones into the water . Shortly after one o'clock , Hardwick went to Middleton Lodge , and was there joined by W . Hawksworth , and other gamekeepers , who were watching

      poachers . They all then went to the place where the sound appeared to come from , and in a field called Hawks worth Island , between the high-road and the river Wharf they found the deceased . He was not quite dead , but lived about half an hour afterwards . He however , did nothing bat moan untU the time of his death . There was % thick stick lying besides him , about a yard from his body . Tbe landlord of tbe inn will tell you that when the deceased and the prif-oner left his house , they each had a stick . The prisoner ' s was a slender walkingstick , but the deceased ' s was a thick rough one , about three feet long . Pieces of flesh , hair , and skin , were found on the stick which was lying near to the deceased , and it was covered with blood . In addition

      to this you will find , from the evidence of a medical man , that the body of the deceased was in a most awful state , and when his hat was taken off a large quantity of blood flowed from it . To use the words of one of the parties present , the head of the deceased was literally smashed , and his body one mass of bruises , inflicted by some violent and bloody hand . The prisoner was the last person in whose company the deceased was seen alive—that you will find was somewhere about half-past ten o ' clock . You will find from tbe evidence that about twelve o ' clock the moaning and crus began , and continued in the hearing of the watchman until after one . The body of the deceased was then discovered , and carried \ o a public house in a cart . About half-past

      six in the morning two of the keepers , Thomas Gill and Charles Muon , went to the prisoner ' s house , tbe door was fast , but they heard the prisoner cry out , " Who ' s there ! " and a candle was lit , which was afterwards extinguished ; and it was not until a considerable time had elapsed that they gained admission- The prisoner was asked if he had been at Ilkley with deceased the night before , and he said he had . Moon asked where he left him , and prisoner replied in the flit close by the lime-kiln . There are two , and the body of the deceased was found midway between them , about 200 yards from each . Moon then asked prisoner if deceased was drunk , to which he replied that deceased was either drunk or sulky , as he could not get him any

      farther than the fl * t close . He also said that after leaving Ilkley he had tewed with him for about an hour before he could get him to the place where he had left him . Deceased wished to Bit down there , and so prisoner allowed him to do bo . Moon said , "Heis dead . " Prisoner replied " Thou talks . " He was then asked whether on the road home he had met or seen anything , and he said he had heard a gun fired off . 1 flunk you will be of opinion that that cannot be true , for every one of the parties 1 shall call before you that mnt to look for the body , and afterwards found it , will tell you that they were out in Beach of poachers , when their attention was directed to every sound and circumstance which could justify the belief of patties being in the

      neighbourhood , and they beard no gunfire . This story may be true , but it may also be the expedient of a guilty mind to seek for some cause , to which to ascribe ihe death of the deceased , in order thai he himself might be clear of the charge . I say no more on that point , Gentlemen of the Jury—I leave the inference to you . The prisoner wag then asked at what time he got home , and his wife stated , in Ms hearing , th&ths got home abont half-past three . Yon will remember the first moanings were heard about twelve o ' clock , and continued up to one , and at half-past one when the body of the deceased was found , he was still living . At that time , when the

      prisoner left the deceased , he would have to go three or four miles ; bo that if he bad gone straight home at the time when he says he left the deceased , he would h&VB been there long before the time stated by Ms wife . The prisoner made no remark , and did not contradict his wife , when she said it was halfpast three before he arrived borne . She also said , " Poor Wiil ; I have been studying all ni |; ht , and wondering whether he got home or not , " This fhows that a conversation had taken place between the prisoner and his wife about the deceased . Between eight and nine o ' clock , Abraham England , a constable of Addingham , and Ellis Whitaker , went to apprehend the pr isoner } v ? h&n England found him in

      Untitled Article

      the street , and said to him you are , my prisoner . I am come to apprehend you in conjteqaoaoe of your being connected with the deat& ^ vVilliam Hustwiok . Have you anything to stat&whs you should not be taken into custody ? Prisoner said I do not know that I have . England then examined prisoner ' s shirt , and on the wrist bands of both sleoves he fonnd spots of blood . He was asked how they ffad come there , and he Btated that he had assisted in carrying a pig belongingto a brother of the deceased , and that at that time he , had no ooab on . He said he had washed his hands a little that morning . He went into his-house and put his coat on , and England and Whittaker then set off with him to Addingham . As they were going , England noticed

      that there were marks of blood on the inside of prisoner ' s ooat . and he asked how they oame to be there . Prisoner said he could not tell , unless it was from Hustwick s pig . England replied that cannot be , as you had no coat on . When at Addingham he was asked why the blood was on his coat , and he gave another reason totally different from that which he had given before ; he said it was from Hustwick ' s nose having bled , as they sat on a wall after they got across the bridge fl * t . On the Very next day , a medical man , who examined the body of the deceased , and particularly inspected the nostils , stated that there were no marks of blood to be'found . Tnis would affect tbe prisoner in two ways . First , with regard to his veracity . When first asked about the blood on his coat , he said he could not account for its being , thereexcept it had been

      , caused by Hnstwick ' s pig . When he was told that he had no coat on , he then gave & different version of the cause of the blood ; and it seems to me , if the statement of the medical man is to be relied upon , the statement of the prisoner cannot be relied upon , in accounting for the blood found on his coat ; while the woman who laid the diseased out will corroborate the statement of the surgeon , and will state that she found no blood in bis nose . During his examination before the justices , the prisoner said that he and the deceased W 6 nt on until they came to a style , when the deceased made a bit of a flounder , and whan they got further , he said , " I believe my nose bleeds . " They went on a little further untu they came to the lime-kiln , when the deceased said he would remain there . When

      the prisoner got home his wife told him it was two o ' clock . I ought also to state that some blood was found upon the latchets of one of the prisoner's shoes . I have now gone through the facts of the case upon which you are to form your verdict . There can be no doubt that deceased died from violence ; there can be no doubt that the prisoner was the last man seen in his company ; there can be no doubt that the deceased desired to stay all night at the Lister ' s Arms , and the prisoner was the man

      who prevented it . There , can be no doubt that at twelve o ' c'ock the moaning of the deceased began , and continued until half-past one . The prisoner does not find his way home until half-past three o ' clock , when he is found with stains of blood upon his shirt and coat , for which he cannot account , and respecting which he gives contradictory and conflicting statements . The Learned Counsel concluded by remarking that he left the prisoner to God and his country , and he was sure that the Jury would do their duty .

      Several witnesses were then examined , who bore « ut the statement of the Learned Counsel in most of the particulars , after which Mr . Baines addressed the Jury for the prisoner at some length , contending that from all the circumstances of the case not only that there was no proof that the prisoner was guilty of this heinous crime , but that the faots of the case led to the conclusion that he was not , and , the Jury could not arrive at any other conclusion than that the prosecutor had

      entirely failed in establishing the charge of guile against the prisoner . He said he would proceed td review the case as it stood , and when he had done io he would ask permission of the Jury whether it was necessary for him to go into the body of evidence that he might produce before them , but if they did not think that at all necessary , then they would one and all Bay that they were convinced , the prosecutor had not made out his case , and they were ready at once to pronounce a verdict of acquittal . -

      After Mr . BaineB's address , the Jury , without hearing any of the prisoner's witnesses , found him Not Guilty . The Learned Judge concurred in the opinion of the Jury . BUBOLAKY AT HUNTINGTON . Wilson Rocket , 28 , who had been out on bail , was charged with having on the 6 th of January last , at Huntington , broken into the dwelling-house of John Bradley , and etoien therefrom 200 sovereign ?! . Mr . Wilkins and Mr . Thompson were for the prosecution ; Mr . Bliss and Air . Pulleine defended the prisoner . Mr . VVjlkins stated the case for the prosecution , after which the following witnesses were examined : — Elizabeth Bradley deposed—I am the wife of John Bradley , of Huntington ; he is in his 87 oh year ; I am turned 70 . I keep a shop . On Friday morning , tho 6 th of January , four men came into

      oar house . We went to bed on Tnursday night about eleven o ' clock , having examined the doors and windows to see that thoy wero fast . About one o ' clock feur men came into the room . Two came to my bed side , and two to the bed foot . They took me by the throat , and I thought they were choking me . I forced the hand off . Thoy then put their hands npon my mouth and nipped my nose . One of the men took a pillow , put it on my face , and : got upon it with bis knees . The prisoner is the man who got upon me with his knees . He said , " if you don't hold your noise and be still , I'll blow your brains out if you speak a word . " I got the pillow off and said "are you going to murder us , what do you want 1 " He said he wanted our money . The prisoner bad a club stiok in his hand . They took my husband by one of his legs and trailed him into another room . They struck him over the head

      with the club stick . In ten minutes or a quarter of an hour , they trailed him back by the hair of his head like a clog of wood . He was bleeding from his head , nose , and mouth , from the stroke of tbe stick . When , he was in the other room , I heard them say " Hang him out , he ' s not dead yet . " When he came back , they trailed me out of bed . I said " Oh , " and one of them said " Come , madam , if you say that again , I'M blow your brains out . " The faces of ihe men were not grimed ; they had bits of crape ever their faces , and had short emook frocks on . When they . went tothe bed of my grand-daughter , two of them took their veils off and put them in their hats . I saw the faces of two very fair when they wero talking to my grand-daughter . The prisoner was one of the two men who took their veils off . The prisoner had a candle and a stick . He laid his stiok on the bed when he seized me by the throat .

      Mr . J . S . Maddison , superintendent of the rural police , produced a crape veil . Examination of E . Bradley resumed—This is the veil that was found in the room entangled with the bed foot . There was only one veil found . The men had such veils as these on . Prisoner had a dark coat and waistcoat ; J saw them through his smock being open at the breast . The men stayed about an hour in the room . I don't know I lost anything but the money . We lost £ 200 , which were in a Iittie box under a step ; the money was in sovereigns .

      They said they were going down stairs , they should be there two hours , while they got something to eat , and if we spoke or stirred , they would blow our brains out . I found that the men had gone shortly after , and I alarmed my neighbours . The back window bad been torn out of the frame . They had got in at the window , and opened the back door . That back door was fastened by me . I saw the prisoner first after that on Monday , the 1 st February at the Castle gates . They fetched him down stairs for me to look at him . As soon as he passed me I saw thai was the man .

      Cross-examined—1 had been asleep before the men came in . Before I went I had heard the clock strike twelve . They had all sticks , and good thiok ones too . One of the men had a handkerchief over his face . I can't say I was very much frightened considering the alarm . I have not got quit of my hurt yet . The veils were taken off when they had almost done their work . The first time I saw any face without crape was when they went to the bedside . I went to the Castle gates to see if I could challenge the Sr isoner . A man went to fetch him down stairs . I ad never known or seen the prisoner before that I know of . I know a man called the herring man , and I bought some herrings of him once . I should know him if I saw him again . I know Joseph

      Harrison , he lodged with- me , and left my house on Wednesday , and this happened on Friday morning . When they bad got the money they went away . They left me when they went for the money . 1 saw the naked faces of the two men for ten minutes ot a quarter of an hour . I did not see the faces of the other men . I think I should know the other man if I saw him . I am sure the prisoner is the man who came to my bed-side and ill-used me . Witness repeated that she was quite sure the prisoner was the man . I did not see a man in the room that was like the herring man . My son was sent for immediately , it had just gone two o'clock when the . alarm was made .- Re-examined . —When they were near my bedside I could see faces of the

      men sideways ; they had candles m their hands . I knew the prisoner as soon as 1 saw him at the Castle gates . When they got the box they shook it , and said " This is what we have eome for , and we have got it . " I have no doubt the prisoner ib the man . Wo . Benjamin Lund , father of last witness deposed . —I live at Huntington . I was called up on the morning in question . It bad just etruok two when I was putting my clothes on . I went to W . Bradley's house ; everything was turned inside out . At tbat time I suspected Joseph Harrison . I went with Wm . Wilson to the York police station ; we got there about half-past two . I told Mr . Chalk , and he gave directions for printing the hand-bills . It was through a quilt being stole that I suspected Harrison . When 1 returned my daughter gare me

      a veil ; this is it . My daughter had given mo a uosoription of the men she had seen . Two sticks were found . A piece of bark found in the house fitted one of the slinks . j Cross-examined . —I went twice to York that morning . My daughter said one of them was less than me , bnt wider about the shoulders ; but the other man was taller . Harrison is described in the bill as being five feet nine or ten inches , and the other man , who is described as the herring man , as five feet ten inches . ;

      The Jury , after a very short consultation , found the prisoner Guilty . j On being asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon him , the pr isoner blamed his attorney for not calling all his witnesses , as ha had several more . He said , Wond had committed the robbery , and he [ had several respectable witnesses in Court , who had not been called . The following witnesses wore then examined—Mr . Hill , publican , Peasholme-grsen , deposed—I have known the prisoner eight years . 1 Ha has been a peaceable , good neighbour . I have ; never heard anything against his character for honesty . He has been an upright tenant to me , and has paid me very regular . I

      Mr . William Outhwaifce , butcher , ; Peasholmegreen , deposed . —I have known the prisoner five years . He has always been a | very honest man . I have never heard anything amiss by him in my life . j % Mr . John Milner , cowkeeper , Hungate , deposed—I have resided in York about twenty years . I have known the prisoner four or five years . I think , as far as I know , he is a very decent man . I Dover knew any man say any thing amiss by him . The prisoner was then ordered to stand down . The Court rose about a quarter before eleven o ' olook . ! The case excited a great deal of ; interest , and the Court was much crowded during the whole day .

      TO THE EDITOR OP THK NORTHERN STAR . SIR—In yoar paper of to-day I perceived . ; Waf report of what fell from me while addressing tha friends of frpedem iu Leeds , on Saturday the 11 th inataat , relative to the treatment of myaelf by iUe Magistrates of Bevertuy . In this report there Is a very slight inaccuracy which might very natural ^ occur , as yoar talented correspondent did not take notes while I spoke , consequently dtew oat hia report from memory . In his report he makes me say : — " That the Magistrates < f Beverley did refuse to allow me the right of petition while I remained their prisoner . " Small as thiB inaccuracy is I loss ot a moment in pu ting , with ypur permission , the public right ou this subject . , , Sir , I can afford to do the magistrates of Baverley fall justice ; nnrt still have a story to tell which will not , 1 think , raise th « m very high in the estimation of their fellr > w-m «» n in general .

      The language I made use of at the meeting alluded to , was this : — "That the magistrate of Beverley had , by preventing me from writing to any othar than my wife , and to hot only once a-inonth , and by placing upon my correspond dence with her such a series of restrictions—restrictions b »> th vexatious arid unmanly , and calculated , if not intended , to defeat the ends of justice—and not satisfied with preventing me frmn sending my letters to Ediaburgh such instruction s aa would have enabled my friends to have exposed the abominable falsehood by which I was convicted , and to put them in possession of facts which , if published , wouM necessarily have secured my liberation and most lifeely have be ^ n the means of bringing the guilty employers to punishmentbut tbat the magiafcrates of Boverley did all that they durst to prevent any petition coEiplaning of their own conduct from ever reaching the House of Commona ot the public at all . "

      The facts of the case , Sir . are shortly these . After I had been for eome months a prisoner , and from the dreadful effects of the inhuman treatment I was suijacted to upon my own body , aad also from the fact of tho very sudden death of a young man named Creasqr , caused , as I suppose , by the operation of the treadmill , a conviction forced itself upon my mind , tbat the Iobb of my life was inevitable , If indeed its destruction was not designed . This suspicion , and a strong suspicion it was , was greatly strengthened * by the circumstance that I learned that every effort was made by Shcppard and his principal officer to keep the fact of this unfortunate man ' s death , and every circumstance connected with it , from me ; and the uncomfortable suspicion was still further

      strengthened by ihe fearful state of agitation into which the jailor and turntey appeared to be thrown as soon as they knew that Creasor s death was known to me , and that I had expressed my intention of petitioning for mqairy . Snch was the excitement of the jailor , tbat for some time it appeared to deprive him of his ordinary prudence and caution , so much so that lie ordered me immediately to bo locked up in a solitary cell , apart from tbe other prisoners , informing me at the same time , that be did so in order to keep me from acquiring any further information relative to Creasor ' s treatment or death . Why this afaould , have been the case appeared to my simplicity very extraordinary indeed , as I could not conceive why publicity should hare been either dreaded or shunned , provided all tbe circumstances of Creasor ' s death were fair and abovehoard : these facts forced upon me tbe conviction that

      I had a small chance of leaving the prison a living man , unless I found the means of directing the public attention to my case and Bufferings . While I was thus privately kept out of the wiy and engaged in writing a petition to Parliament , I was visited by a Mr . Willie aud another magistrate . I requested these men to permit me to sand my petition to Edinburgh , so that my friends might put it into a proper form for presentation , giving as a reason my welt-known deficiency in penmanship ; also that I knew not any M-P- to whom I might take the freedom of sending it direct This reasonable request these men thought proper to rtfuse , and in doing so did all they could to render the right of petition uuU and void —this is what I stated at the public meeting , and what has somewhat misled my esteemed fr'cnd Mr . Ross .

      There is also in that report another tria . ng misstatement ; the petition of tbe inhabitants of Bradford is first for inquiry iato the conduct of the magistrates of that town in the employing of such worthless men as the spies Harrinon aad Smith . Secondly , for inquiring into the conduct of the magistrates of Beverley in having prevented me from seeing my solicitor or taking any other means , even the simple one of sending the requisite instructions to my poor wife to establish the now undeniable fact , that I waa convicted by falsehood and convicted too of a crime conceived and executed by the ageniB of the ma « gistrates of Bradford themselves . It is , Sir , but just to the magistrates of Bsverley to state that thongh unaccountable to me , they had at least the sanction of the Whig Government .

      Shortly after my becoming an inmate of Boverley prison the Whigs seut to the magistrates a letter commanding them to prevent me from holding , upon any consideration , any communication ¦ with any mon of Radical politics , or of writing one single word that could in any way affect the public mind . It was in vain tbat I represesented to these magistrates that the ends of juRtica required , that the safety of life and liberty in England demanded , that I should hava an opportunity of making the guilt of the Crown witnesses apparent . It was in vain that I maintained that it was their duty as magistrates to protect , announce , detect , and punish crime . Toe only answer I could wring from them was , we will obey our inutructious .

      Tour insertion , if convenient , of this correction , wm oblige , . Sir , Yeats teuly , Robert Pbddjjb . Edinburgh . 15 , West Richard-street , March 18 1843 .

The circumstance soon spread , and hundreds were epon on the spot . A Coroners inquert was held on the body on Monday , at one o ' clock , and tho following facts came ont in evidence : —The first wi ness called was a , boy by the name of Hurst , who swore that . upon Friday night , Mary Moss , ( a midwife who was taken into custody on Sunday morning ) who came to the house of his parents oa Friday night , with something wrapt in her apron , enquiring abont the use of the water of the well . When she went out the boy went to the door after her—saw her go to the well aad heard a great splash

      in the well . He told his mother about it . The person who found the child deposed to its being bound with cords , one of whioh was round the neck , with a stone fastened to it . Elizibeth Pickering swore to the child being hers ? that she was delivered the Sunday fortnight previous ; that the child was still born , and that it was nailed up within a few boards ; that she gave Mary Moss sixpence to get it buried , which she said was done . Mary Cook swore to being there just as the child was born . She said it was warm and must have been alive about the time of its delivery , but never breathed . Dootor Byre was of opinion that the child was still born . From this evidence the Coroner had no further jurisdiction over the case , but the woman ivloss was retained to be tried for a felony and misdemeanour , for stripping the body of the child and keeping the money .

      MANCHESTER—League modk op tt \ itv FAOTWR 1 N 6 SIGNATURES TO THEIB PETITIONS . —The Anti-Corn Law League have had a number of petition sheets laying for signature in various parts of the town of Manchester and Salford , for the total aud immediate repeal of the corn laws . We have not heard the number of signatures obtained to the petition , nor do we know from whence the petition originated , but of this we are certain , that it has not received the sanction of a public meeting of the inhabitants ; but at the same time we are prepared to

      prove from ocular demonstration , that a very great number of the signatures are forgeries , At one table we saw one person write eighteen names , at another we observed the person who had the charge of it , write down six . We expressed our disgust at such nefarious proceedings , and he immediately laid down the pen . At another table we observed boys under the age of nine years , write from ten to twenty names each . These are facia we pan substantiate upon oath if required , and we think such infamous conduct deserves exposure . —Cor .
