StiAM » 8 Torhipi . —At the Exeter assizes , J . Shute ( 37 ) , a labouring man , of very decent appear * ance was indicted for stealing uvtn turnips , the property of his master , at NortBaro , on the 23 rd of February . Mr . Whyte prosecuted . The prisoner was a labourer in the employ of Capt . K « ata , at Nortnam , and on the day mentioned he went into the ooir . house , for the purpose of feeding the cow » , when his master ' s coachman ( who was watching hit movements ) saw him put some turnips into his pocket . Immediately afterwards , the coachman laid to him , " John , why are you carrying away thaie turnips ? " and the prisoner , denied the charge . Whereupon the coachman told him that he bad seen bim take them away , and the prisoner then begged
to be forgiven . Aconfe ? sion made by the prisoner before the committing magistrate was put in , and it stated that he had taken the turni ps , but that hi had never done anything of the kind before . "IU thought there was no harm in it , as food was ao dear . " It Appeared , in answer to a question from the learned judge , that the prisoner was a married man with two children , and that his wages were only 9 i . a week . His lordship then inquired who laid the information in this case , and one of the witnesses stated that it was Capt . Keats , the prisoner ' s master . The learned judge , in summing up , remarked that that case was one of a very trifling nature , but , nevertheless , it was the duty of the jury to find the prisoner guilty , if . they thought the charge had been proved against him . Verdict—Guilty . His
lordship said it was very melancholy to see a respectablelcoking man charged with suck an offence as the present , but the law would not allow him to take from his master even a few turnips without permission . As he had already been in gaol three weeks , he should now only sentence him to two days' imprisonment . This prosecution excited great disgust in court , and when his lordship was informed that similar " depredations" had been committed on former occasions upon Capt . Keats ' s property , he replied that it wag a hard case that a man , whose wages were not more than 9 s . a week , should be sent to prison amongst the " scum of 1 L 2 earth" for taking seven turnips from his master . Coiiino and -VVouNDiNO . -At the Oxford assizes , Ellen Hall ( 43 ) who had a child in her arms , was in-* $ & . * ? : outling and wounding ; Mary Hall , at the 27 th of
Rugby , on January , with intent to murder , to maim , and disfigure , or do her some grievous bodily harm . The unfortunate little girl haw siuce died . She was 12 years of age , and lived with her father and the prisoner , who was her stepmother . About seven o ' clock in the morning the child entered Lord Tabot ' s colliery at , Hugeley , having on only a petticoat and ch . mese . There was a cut on her face , lhe manager , Mr Thompson , asked her how she got the wound , as she was crying . They told her that her mother was coming , and she appeared very much frightened . Iler mother asked if she had said she turned her out of doors ? The little girl said nothing , rhe prisoner then took hold of the child , and struck her against the doorframe ; if she had not caueht against the door , she would have gone against the engine . The little girl then ran away , and tho prisoner looked . about the en gine-house for her . but
could not find her , and nothing more was heard 0 / the poor child until some hours afterwards , when she was found dead in ' the bottom of a well near , with twenty wounds upon her body . Suspicion naturally attached to the prisoner . An inquest was held , and great excitement prevailed ; but there was no legal evidence to fix the prisoner with the horrid crime of murdering her husband ' s child . The little child being dead , there was no available evidence , and . alter the trial had proceeded some way , his lordship d . rected an acquittal on that ground . The prisoner was then tried on an indictment , charging her with three assaults on the deceased . The jury found her
T "Vy . - J ™ sergeant Uazelee said there was no aoubt but the prisoner had greatly accelerated , if she . had not actually caused the death of tke poor child by her inhuman conduct . He then sentenoed her to six months' imprisonment . Genkrai Misconduct— At the Insolvent Debtors ' Court , Wm . Wainwright was opposed by two learned counsel for Messrs Thomas , attorneys , and for Mr Black . The insolvent had been a billiard-tablekeeper , a tobacconist , and a bill-broker , and had also been connected with various loan societies , lhe complaint ot the o pposing creditors was for general misconduct . He had carried on business for the last twenty years in Fore-street , City , where he had kept a billiard-table—that business was now carried on by the insolvent ' s son , who was underage , and from whose examination it appeared he had paid his father £ 90 for the property in Fore-street . whiVh
money he bad won at billiards . He also informed the court that he had within the last two years won , at least , 800 ! ., also at billiards . The case occupied the court the whole of the day in an inquiry as to the disposition of the property , and at length was adjourned ior complete evidence . PoACinso and Manslauohtbr . —At Exeter , on Monday , Henry Warren , aged 26 , was indicted for the wiltul murder of Wm . Setter , at Coombeinteignhead on the 5 th Sept . last . Mr Rowe and Mr Cox for the prosecution ; Mr Stone for the defence . The deceased was employed as a watchman against poachers . On Saturday night , the . 5 th Sept ., between eleven and twelve o clock , the deceased , with a man named Norman , gardener to Sir W . Carew , heard the report of a gun . They proceeded to call Harris , the gamekeeper , and whilst he was preparing to leave the
house two other shots were fired . Harris came out , and further assistance having been procured , the party went into the fields whence the reports appeara to ' ""/ . They aUo came to an understanding , that shoud one of them see any one going towards Newtun , he was to call out " Gate ; " and , if in the opposite direction , the word . " Field" was to be the signal . Wm . Setter and Robert Rendell were of the party who went towards Blindwell Field , and Harris , the gamekeeper , with three others , proceeded to a field called "Stoodley Break . " In the course of a few minutes the word " Gate" was called by those whom the deceased had joined , and immediately afterwards a shot was fired . This shot was thus explained : Harris and his party , on hearinethe cry of " Gate "
ran towards the spot , and when they arrived at Kilnfield Break they saw the prisoner with the deceased and Robert Rendell . Rendell had seized the prisoner , and desired Harris to assist him . W . Setter , the decoased . had his hand upon the prisoner ' s head , and appeared to be in pain . Harris asked him , what was the matter ; and he answered " I am shot , " or , " that fellow has shot me . " Harris , the keeper , asked the prisoner why he had shot the man ; and he replied , I have done it and I am veiy sorry for it ; I wish the gun had broken in pieces when . Erst I took it up " Ihis account of the transaction was carried some-W . * i U w r ^ y the evidei « e of Robert Rendell , who stated that when he and Setter arrived at Kiln-field gate , they heard somebody coming throughlthe hed « o . Immediately afterwards the prisoner approached them , carrying a double-barrelled gun , and when he was within four paces of the deceased he lifted his gun to his shoulder . . Seeing he was about to fire .

Rende 11 ' Rendell was not struck and he immediately soized the prisoner with his kit hand , whilst ho held the gun in his right a scuffle ensued , and Rendell having placed his gun on the ground , it went off , and the contents tore up the ground for some distance . The other men had by this time come to Rendell ' s assistance , and the prisoner having been secured , attention was paid to the deceased , wko was then groaning from pain . 11 was lounu that ke had received a wound in the upper part of the stomach . On the following aftornoon , at two 0 clock , he died , and a post msrfem examination took place , when several shots , a link of a watch-chain , and a piece of wadding , was found in his stnm ^ h

It was very possible that the deceased had received the wound from the shot which was 6 > d at Robert Rendell , or from tba gun which went off accidentally . Assuming , however , that the prisoner did fire at Setter , and that better s death was the consequence , there was noevidencootany malice on the prisoner ' s part . If the keepers had not been armed with guns , doubtless the man death would not have ensued . He con . tended that the case was not free from doubt , and tnat , therefore , the prisoner was entitled to an acquittal . After Mr Justice Williams had summed
up , the jury retired , and after an absence of about halt an hour returned into court with a verdict of ixuiHy of Manslaughter . Sentence deferred . Arson . —Listening Policemen . —At Cambridgeon Tuesday , William Francis was indicted for having get fire to two stacks of wheat , of the value of £ 400 lhe evidence was , for the most part , of the circumstantialkind usual on such occasiono , being a history of the prisoner ' s proceedings on the day of the fire , and thenceforward to his being taken into custody It presented also tho customary account of threatening language used by the prisoner , and of a companson of impressions made by the shoes ol the prisoner with certain footmarks in the nei ghbourhood of the stack . The only novelty was , that when an intorof
spec police was called to speak about statements said ( 0 nave been made by the prisoner whilst in his cell , it turned out that the inspector had overheard them by listening at the door ot the cell . Mr Justice Colendge thereupon interposed , and said that in this case , at all events , such evidence might be rejected , because the person to whom the statements had been made could be called . In any case , however , he should receive with the greatest reluctance , if , iudeed lie should not reject , evidence so obtained , for it was impossible that a jury should not suspect , and perhaps disbelieve , all the evidence of a person who had descended to such unworthy means of gaining information The inspector then urged that he had often been blamed for not having on similar occasions , listened to what had beeu said . Mr Justice Coleridge said that if such a course of proceeding was suggested to policemen it could no longer be a matter of wonder , that an Ul opinion , of then was ea <

False Imprisohhbwt . —Ttur and Wjpb v . Rbt J Di'dlet and Another . —This wasan action to recover damages for false imprisonment . The defendants are two of t he magistrates of the LoughboTough district ; M . A . lyler is the wife of the other plaintiff a labourer , living at Wymeswold , Leicestershire : This woman had a difference with another of het own sex , and epithets were exchanged , the reaslt of which was an application to tbe magistrates afainjt the female prisoner . She acknowledged she had made use of the offensive epithet imputed to her , and expressed regret at having done ao . The magistrates ( the present defendants ) said they had no jurisdiction in a case of bad language and cautioned her to be
, careful for the future , disraissing the complaint , and ° / , , r ! ng M / 8 Tyler t 0 P aythe cost 9 to the amount of £ 118 s . The poor woman said she could not pay - she was told she must pay in a week , or ga to prison . At the next weekly meeting plaintiff attended and stated she had a family of small children , she wa 3 poor , and could not pay the costs imposed , and that , if it was insisted , she must go to prison . To prison she accordingly went , for costs , in a case in which the magistrates -said they had no jurisdiction I It seems that one of the visiting magistrates ( Hodgsemjsceine this person in the gaol , and being struck with her cleanly appearance , inquired the reason of her being there , and upon being informed , he made it his
business to see the commitment , and feeling it was bad , he communicated with the clerk of the peace who confirmed Mr Hodgson in his previoualy-fermed opinion . It appeared from the commitment , that the magistrates in this very case , in which they dismissed the complaint for the want of jurisdiction , had ac > tually sentenced this woman , whose character was without spot or blemish ( save in this instance ) , to fourteen days ' imprisonment and hard labour , merely for default of payment of fees which they had no right to impose . Upon application to the Secretary of State she was released . Actions were then brought by the plaintiff for the loss of his wife ' s service , and a second action in their joint names . In both , five
pounds had been paid into court , and a plea entered of no further damage . In the action by the husband alone , the five pounds had been taken out in satisfaction , but the joint action was proceeded with . This case would have been tried at the last assizes , but for the application of the defendants to postpone it , on the ground of the absence of a material witness . Since that time they had made the case a special jury . The learned judge told thejury the magistrates had clearly mistaken the law . They had no jurisdiction in the case brought before them , and the only question for the jury was , whether the five pounds paid into court were a sufficient compensation for l ?^ damage sustained . The jury gave for the plaintiff , fifteen pounds over and above the sum paid into court .

iRisn Confederation . —On Sunday evening a very respectable nieetine ot " Confederates , " took pkee at Cartwright ' s Coffee-house , Red-cro 93-8 treet , City . Mr Dwaine was called to the chair , and explained the objects of the body . They wished every man to enjoy full freedom of speech ' , and to do away with that anticliristian feeling that kept alive petty iealousies and unmeaning prejudices between man and man . ( Cheers . ) They also had in view to inlUt the aid of the public press , in furtherance of per . suading the people to ahandon the public-houses . lie often wondered that O'Connell had not strove to effect so desirable a change . He did not reject the drunkards , but he refused the aid of the Chartists .
( Hear , hear . ) Mr D . concluded a very effective speech , by expressing his readiness to hear any man fully and fairly , whether English , Irish , er Scotch ; Ireland wa 3 his country , but the world was his republic . ( Cheers . ) Mr Clancy rose , in accordance 1 with the notice which he had given of bringing the rules ofthe Confederation before the meeting . He denied the assertion nf Mr M'Gec , " That the volunteers of Dungannon did not strike for liberty of consoience ; when they struck for freedom of trade they unshaek ' ed the limbs , but they did not unbind the souls of Irishmen . " He ( Mr C . ) had a great veneration for the volunteers of ' 82 . On the first of July . 1783 , a meetins of delegates from 45 companies of volunteers oftheprovir . ee of Ulster , —" resolved
unanimously that a general meeting ofthe volunteer army ofthe province of Ulster , on the subject of ft more equal representation of the people in Parliament , is hereby earnestly entreated to bo held at Dungannon , on Monday , the fifth day of September next . " Again , the committee in their report ,-" trust that the spirit of firmness and integrity , which has already restored thi 3 ancient kingdom to her rank in the nations , will crown the 8 th of September , 1783 , as a day which is to form the groundwork of internal emancipation . " Again : resolved unanimously : — " That a committee of fWe persons from each county be now chosen by ballot , to represent this province in a grand National Convention , to he held at noon , in the Royal Exchange .
Dublin , on the 10 th day of November , to digest and publish a plan of Parliamentary reform , and to pursue such measures as may appear to them most likely to render it effectual , to adjourn from time to time and convene provincial meetings if necessary . " They closed their proceedings with an address to the volunteer armies of the other provinces , of which the following is a passage : — "Through her four provincial assemblies let Ireland ' s temperate deolarations flow to one common centre , and there , matured into an extensive plan of reform , be produced as the solemn act of the volunteer army of Ireland , as a demand of rights robbed of which the unanimated form of a free government would be a curse , and existent itself cease to be a blessing . " The reading of these
soul-stirring resolutions seemed to rivet the attention of all present . Mr C . concluded by moving for a committee to prepare an address to the council of the Oonfederafon . Mr Sullivan seconded tba motion . Mr Archdeacon rose and very eloquently oomplimented the members on the exertions they were making , in furtherance of the glorious work they had in hand . He would move that the question bo adjourned till that day month . Mr Manly briefly seconded the motion . After some discussion , Mr Clancy said he would consent to the postponement till that day four weeks . The usual vote oi thanks was given to the talented chairman , and the meeting separated at twelve o ' olook . Ragged Schools . —Kino ' b-cross . —On Tuesday tha second annual meeting ofthe friends and supporters ofthe King ' s-eross Ragged Schools took place at the Music Hall
. Store-street . Lord Ashley presided , and , in opening the business , observed that they had met on a most appropriate occasion , being on the evening preceding the day appointed for the general fast ; and he thought , amongst all our national sins , none were greater than that of the long neglect we hadexhibited towards such poor children as those who attended their Ragged Schools . The report congratuated the meeting at the successful results of their labours ; the boys attending now amounted to 35 , and the girls to 65 , moat of whom had made considerable progress , the girls particularl y . There was , however , at present a great wantof teachers , and it was desirable that they should have some paid teachers . Tho receipts of the past year had beeu £ 73 4 s . 4 | d . ; and , after defraying the neeessary expenses , a balance of £ 7 2 s . 2 W . remained in the hands of the treasurer .
