NORTHERN CIRCUIT-Yobk . March 13 . —Edmund Kaye , 78 years of age , was put on his trial for a felonious assault on nn interesting but diminutive child , then—that is . the 29 th of November—only nine years of age . The prisoner was in custody at the Winter Assizes , but the child was then wholly uneducated , and this Court adjourned the case to give time for her being instructed . She now gave a very clear account of the outrage , and her evidence was supported by another ohild as ( o the
prisoner having sent cer away and detained tho projecutrix , and by a Burgeon who was called in on the 2 nd of December , and also her mother , as to the state in which the child was . —Mr . Baron Rolf ' e said all such cases of assault on children were very grave offences , but this was particularly revolting , on account of the offender being in tho last stage of lite , and he should not bo doing his duty if he did not pais upon him the highest sentence of the law , notwithstanding his great age . He then sentenced him to be transported frr the term of his natural life .
Riot bt Railwat Navigators . — 0 . Winterton , T . Ilarnegs , G . Wilson , C . Smith , F . Porter , and J Blackburn , were charged with a riot and assault at Spofforto , near Wetlierby . On the day in queg . tion the prisoners , together with 100 or 200 other persons , assembled M Spofforth , on tu e occas jon of a sale by auction tak" >« placeon the prcmi 8 e 5 ofa person named James Snomana . l ne pr j soner 3 are railway labourers , erop l 0 ? c « *» 8 Mnc adjacent works . Anmnest other proper * * £ be sold aq , ian tity of beer , two barrels and a half of wj , ;^ snnitJ of the men fetched out of the cellar , to which they had by force gained Admittance . They knocked in the ends of the casks , and dispensed the beverage to the astonished crowd , in their boots , hats , and other ' ¦
equally extraordinary substitutes for classes and pitchers . The prisoners at the Bame time made an attack upon Joseph Mortimer , who remonstrated against their conduct . Finding he should get the worst of it , he escaped to the house of a person named Parker , but the prisoners pursued him , burst open the door , and dragged out poor Mortimer by the hair of . his head , and severely maltreated him . Subsequently tho mob proceeded to a mill , occupied by one Deighton . whom they compelled , by threats and violence , to give them Romo beer ; and they also assaulted a man named Groves . Tho man who struck Groves ws \ b made prisoner , but was ultimately rescued by the prisoners and their companions . Evidence of these facts having been given , all tho
defendants were found Guilty , and sentenced to be imprisoned for three months at hard labour . Wounding bt a Lunatic—John Cartwright . 20 , was charged with having feloniously wounded Peter Singleton . The prosecutor is a labouring man at Golcar . in Huddersfield . On the morning of the 17 th December he was proceeding on the road to Huddersfield . when he was met hy the prisoner , who had that morning escaped from the workhouse , and by whom he was assailed and stabbed in the thigh . The wound was three inches deep , and of a wry daneerouB character . It appeared that the prisoner ' s intellect had been affected by repeated fits , and the jury found him NotGoilty on the ground of insanity . He was ordered to be kept in custody during her Majesty ' s pleasure .
Marcii 15 . —Cutting and Wounding . — John Moon , a " navvy , " a < jed twenty-three , was indicted with intent to do grievous bodily harm , to Robert kjwanme , at Battley Garr , near Dewsbury , on the 2 oth- December . The prosecutor also is a labouring man , and on that day was at a public house with some friends ; the prisoner came in . and he and one Ottey began playing at" puff and dart , " a game in which the party Wows a dart through , i tube at a mark . It was the prisoner ' s turn to blow the dart , while Ottey was standing near the mark , when the prisoner , designedly or not , blew the dart into Ottej ' s face , in which it stuck . A figlit between them al «> ne , according to the evidence for the prosecutor , ensued , which ended in the prisoner beine
turned oat or the house . A quarter of an hour afterwards the prosecutor and three others went away , and in going ; home had to pass through a yard where the prisoner was , and on one of them remarking that he was the man who puffed the dart into Ottey ' s eyp the prisoner drew his hand from his pocket , rushed upon them , struck ayiolenl blow at the "first of their party , who evaded it , but the prosecutor received it on the thigh , where it inflicted a friphtful gash , which the surgeon stated was five inches Ion ? , andjn one part one and a-half inch deep . He struck again , and cut another of the party in the back , and the indictment included counts for that cutting with the like intents . This was a new experiment , and was objected to by the judge , who called upon the counsel for the proseoution to elect on which case he would proceed , who thought the indictment was right , because
it was all oao transaction "—a view of the law wholly untenable . Informat ' on was given to tho constables , and two of them went to the prisoner ' s house to take him into custody . Ho was abed and asleep , and before awaking they examined his pocket ? , and found a knife with recent stains of blood upon it . I hey then awoke him and told him what tbey waHtcd with him , when he jumped up , swore ho would not be taken by them , ran to his packet , as was supposed for his knife , and behaved with the greatest violence . After retiring for a short time , the jury found llim guilty of the felony . Sentence was respited . March 15 . —Whiteiikad t . Grkat North op England Rsilwat Coupasy . —Accident and Death prom Neouobsce . —This was an action brought by Mr . F . Wlntehead , a manufacturer in Saddleworth , torecover damages against the company for iniiiries
wlncli had caused the death of his wife , mi put Mm to expenses amounting to , in the whole , £ 525 . The plaintiff ' s counsel said he understood it wascontended ior the defendants in this trial , that they , a railway company , were not to be held responsible like other common carriers . But he apprehended they were so ; and that although they were no insurers against every kind of casualty , they nevertheless must be held as undertaking that no injury should be sustained , through fault or negligence of theirs in tho management of carriages and . trains employed by
mem . l lie death of the plaintiffs wife had in this case been occasioned by an act of the company ' s negligence , either by the improper placing of carriages together , or by the excessive speed at which they had been driven , or by those two combined . He now brought this action to obtain , first , indemnity for the sufferings he had endured during a long anil most painful illness suffered by the unfortunate lady previous to her death ; and , secondly , to reimburse him a large sum of money which ho had been obliged to expend for her medical care , for nurses to attend her , odeing , &c . ; to all of which expense he had been put by the negligence or unskilfulness complained of . The principal witnesses for the plaintiff were Captain J . Harland , Richmond , Yorkshire ; Mr . J . Meak , alderman , York ; Mr . Parsons , dentist , York ; and Mr . Watson , surveyor , Cumberland . They all , on the evening orthe 4 th of October , 1845 , got into the mail tram at Darlington , to proceed towards York . The
piaintiltand his wife also entered a first class carriage m the same f rain , they being on their return lrom an excursion in the north , and having come to Darlington in a one-horse chaise , which with their horse they were taking on with them by the train . That train was considerably behind its repulnr time , having not arrived at Darlington until about twenty minutes to nx , instead , of five minutes to fivo , in the evening . Un starting , it beuan to go at an unusual speed , about torty miles the hour or more . At about the fourth mile , just over the bridge , near Croft , which there crosses the Tees , and towards the end of a curve which there is at that spot , several severe shocks were felt , and one , if not more of the carriages became turned over . Major Parker , once the secretary of tho company , was amongst the passengere , ana tlie station master spoke to him about the time . Captain ilarland , Mr . Meak , and Mr . Watson said that the speed was greater than any thev had before
experienced ; and the former witness expressed his opinion that the placing of the trucks , with carriages on thorn , had contributed to the accident . The trucks , b * the jamming up of the carriages , and Sotting oft the rail , appeared to be smashed to pieces and several ot the whoete were knocked off by contaci w . th the stone sleepers Mr . Meak first perceived many yards ot one of the rails to be thrown up as nifih . a * the top of the carriages . There were 23 yards \ Z " vr It U" 1 I u P 6 . » carriage , along with Mm . Meak . They had his portmanteau between them , and the corner of one of the truckswhich
, came next to their co « p 6 , was forced into tho place where they sat , and into the purtraanteau . Mrs . Whitehead was wounded by a similar breaking in of one cavriage upon the other , in which she was Bitting . She received some dreadful wounds , having both her legs and one thigh broke , and a very serious injury besides on the back . The surgeon who had attended the unfortunate lady at the spot described now shockingly she had been wounded . His bill alone for attendance was £ 151 6 s . 6 d . She was attenvardaattended by Mr Thorpe , and that gentle , man stated her death to have occurred on tho nth
of June . She died of tho injuries received , as beforementioned . The , defendants' counsel having dispensed with formal proof of the railway tickets which plaintiff had ob : ained , one bein-- for his horse , tiie learned judge said , on looking at tho printed noticc . tliat the company would not take the risk of conveying horses , that it might be very well for com - panics not to take upon themselves such a risk as tUat , but some of them repudiated any other risks tor themselves , and it was to be wondered that the legislature could allow them to go so far in that way . The plaintiff ' s expenses now claimed came to the sum of £ 523 .
Mr Martin said he certainly should not contend that tlwae companies , as carriers , were not liable , if a case of negligence were proved ; but he thought that was not done here , for it was neither shown that forty miles per hour was anything excessive for a railway train , nor that the placing of the trucks had heen dangerous . If the latter had really been the ease , it waa atrange that Captain Ilarland , who said he had noticed them at Darlington , had not spoken about the trucks before he Bet off from that place

General Pasley , the government officer for investigating such cases had been down , and made the usual iaquiries into the cause of the accident , and yet he had not said a word in condemnation of the company or their servantBon account of negligent or want of skill ; and knowing that , and the plaintiff not calling General Paslcy , who was now in York , the inference was that . th e plaintiff had no ground for the accusa tion against the company on which this action was grounded . The jury found for the plaintiff : damages the amount of the expenses incurred , £ 525 . OXFORD . —WonoKSTBR . March . 13 .
ARSON . —James Campbell waschavged . with having at Pinvoio set fire to » barn , with intent to injure John Ilurgan . On the 3 rd of February , tho building in question contained a quantity of straw and agricultural implements . At an early hour in the morning , smoke was seen to proceed from it , and , in a few moment !) , Humes shot up from the roof , and very speedily the whole was burnt to the ground . The conduct of the prisoner was most extraordinary ; he was the cause of bis own detention and apprehension . On the day of the fire he met one of the witnesses , and said he had been setting the blacksmith ' s barn on fire , and if anybody wanted him , he should be found going on the roadjto Worcester . Tho party did not then know of the arBon , and consequently allowed
the prisoner to go his way . At a late period of the day , hearing the news , he set off after him on the road ho had mentioned , overtook , and finally brought him back . On returning , the prisoner said he thought the building belonged to some old farmer , or lie should not have done it . Upon a box of lucit ' er matches being taken from his pocket , he said he had fired some buildings that morning at Evesham with their aid , and had done it to get into gaol . It subse . quently appeared that the prisoner is also charged with another btivning in Gloucestershire , and will be tried thereat the ensuing assizes . Guilty . Sentenced to be transported for ten years . Riot . — William llutton was indicted for having , at Bromsgrove , on the 29 th of September , riotously and tuniuituously assembled , with others , and demolished the shop of Edward , Ilancox , and destroyed bellowR and other implements used in the making of nails . The prosecutor had a nailor ' sshop about four
miles from Bromsgrovc , and refused to join in the late strike of the nailors in thai district . Several of those who so struck for wages assembled together and committed depredations upon the property of those who refused to join them , amongst whom was the prisoner , who , it was sworn , on the day named in the indictment , headed a mob , who effected an entry into the prosecutor ' s shop , cut his bellows , and destroyed other implements used in bis trade . For the defence two witnesses were called , who saw tho prisoner in the market-place at Bromsgrovo at two o ' clock on the day named in the indictment , shortly before the j offence alleged against the prisoner was committed . , It appeared that he went by the nickname of i " Butcher , " and as such was addressed by some of , the riotous persons assembled . The jury found him i guilty . And his lordship , after telling him he ought . to be transported , sentenced him to one year ' s imprisonment and hard labour .
MIDLAND CIRCUIT .-NoTTiNQnAM . ___ Mabcii 15 . —Nbolbct of a Lunatic—Joseph Large , one of the attendants at the Nottingham County Lunatic Asylum , was found guilty of having left an insane person , named Doubleday , by himself for a Bhort time , contrary to orders , and who , during the prisoner ' sab-ence , committed suicide by strangling himself with his shirt . The prisoner was sentenced to be imprisoned six weeks . Curious Chahge op Poisoning . —Elizabeth Smith , 20 , and Sarah Taylor , 68 , were indicted for the murder of Gesrge Taylor , aged 3 G . by having given him
arsenic at various times . Smith was the deceased ' s housekeeper , and the other prisoner was his step-mother ; and it appeared from their own admissions that Smith had given him arsenic for the purpose of making him unwell , and thereby keeping him at home , as Smith , who was attached to him , greatly disliked his rambling from home and his habits of dissipation , in which scheme of reformation the step , mother joined . No new facts came out on the trial . One peculiarity of the case was , that no trace of ar senic had been detected in the stomach ; but the surgeon thought the poison might havepassod away by vomiting . Verdict Not Guilty .

James Goodliff , aeed 10 , was charged with wilfully-and feloniously setting fire to a stack of haulm , the property of Mr Addison , cf Little Staughton , on the 2 oth of November . The prosecutor and prisoner reside at a very short dis . tance from each other , and the stack in question wa 8 discovered to be in flames at about ten o ' clock at night , at which hour the prisoner roused the prosecutor anil asked for a saddle and bridle , in order that he might saddle a horse , and set off for an engine to St Neot ' s . Having obtained those articles , the prisoner rode off on one of the prosecutor ' s horses , but what became cf him after this did not very distinctly appear , for he was not seen at the fire , which was
confined to the haulm stack . In the course of the inquiry , which was very properly instituted , suspicion , however , attached itself to the prisoner , who was shown to have been drunk at seven o ' clock on the night of the fire , and to have borrowed some lucifer matchts for the avowed object of lighting a pipe and candle from a friend , to whom he made a complaint of the difficulty of getting work , and expressed himself to the effect , that " he knew what old Addison wanted , and that was a d—d good blazing , and that he should have afore long . " In addition to these points , evidence was adduced relating to the details of the locality , and the correspondence of certain foot-prints with the boots of the prisoner ; one of the witnesses concerning which latter piece of
evidence triumphantly produced two portentous impressions in clay , which were preserved and packed with great care in wooden boxes . These impres sions are stated to have been made by the boots of the prisoner , and , at first sight , seemed to produce a reat effect on tho case , as they were taken to be the originals , but , to the surprise of tl . o whole court , it twnfcd out on inquiry that they had been made by the witness himself after the fire for the purpose of comparison with tho originals , so that they did not carry the case much further against tho prisoRcr than the boots themselves . Mr . Tozer having addressed the jury , commenting on the case as one which was not sufficient even to call on the prisoner to explain it , his lordshi p summed up , and the jury returned a verdict ot Guilty . Sentenced u ISyears' transportation . *

ETHER A SAFE REMEDY . Mr . Cattlin , surgeon-dentist to the Caledonian Hospital , has addressed tho following to the editor of the Weekly Times : — The vapour of ether has long been known to possess the power of producing transient intoxication ; and , Iherefore , the novelty of its receut exhibition consists in its administration , mixed with rather a large portion of common air , fur the purpose of depriving the patient of sensation under surgical operatious . That it possesses other than this most useful property cannot howeverbe
, , denied . Some of my patients have manifested its first important influence by singing , screaming , or struggling and afterwards relapsed into a puifcct state of uueoi . Eciousness , during which I have frequentl y extracted three largo molar teeth , and aoraethres as many as seven troublesome- fangs , without the person being iu the slightest degree aware of their removal . More generally however , the patient , after breathing the mixed vapovrrs for two or threo minutes , nfter a little muscular riginity , reclines as if "in the arms of Morphias , " tho hand , wheu raised , falling to the side—the pupil of ihe eye being mostly dilated—the pulse small a *\ d quick . Some few
persons , upon consciousness returning , exhibit many of the common effect * of laughing-gas ; and I think this condition , in some instances , was induced by the prema . lure application of exciting questions , in which respect visitors are very prone to be injudicious . Delicate females 6 omotimes evince various slight symptoms of hysteria ; but the great majority of patients remain for a short time amusingly loquacious , or quickly arouse from pleasant dreams , although in throo instances the dreaming was disturbed and uncomfortable . Erery patient has been carefully watched . A few ,
certaiuly , experienced a slight weakness in tho knees ; but ouly two out of upwards of sixty complained of some headache and skknoss after the inhalation of ether , to one of wham it had been administered tivioe , and to the other three times , at the same sitting . I have invariably refused the vapour to any patient evincing signs of congestion of tho brain , heart , or lungs ; and ( without being prejudiced in favour of the remedy ) am strongly impressed with its harmlessness in the hands of any qualified gentleman , who will avoid it * usu in caso similar to the above , and discontinue the remedy upon tho appearance of any unfavourable symptom .
