WiLii-i . NS ( w ; tb whom was Mr . Pashley and Mr . PiciCERi . NG ) appeared for the prosecution ; Sir , Gregqsy Lewi . n and . Mr . Haix were for the defence . l _ Mr . Wilkins atateti the case . The prisoner was indicted under an Act of Parliament passed in the : ' . a and 8-. ii years of tho reign of George IV ., which provides tb . it if any person shall cut , break , or destroy , or damage , vvith intent to destroy or render ! Ujtlc £ S any loom , frame , machine , engine , or implo-! , fixed or moveable , for manufacturing cotton

      I warps , worfU'd , &c , that person shall be deemed j guilty of feiony . Tho presecutor resides at Horton , ; near Bradford , and is the owner of a mill , at the end cf which is an engine , and by its power the different works arc carried on within the walls of the mill . Very early in the morning of the 27 ih of April , it was discoTercd tha ; the e-. j . ^ ine would not work with anything iiia us usaai power . Information of this circuiEStancis was given to the prosecutor , who came to the Eiiil and examined the tn ^ ine , but could dis-; cover nothing wrong . There was sufficient steam , but the speea could not be kepi up . Information ¦ was ssp-i to tie BovriL-g Iron . Works for sane experienced workmen , to see whether they could discover any defects in the engine , but their search was in

      Ta ; n , ar a tee engine would no ; work . It so happened that on the third cay , a man named Squire Barker , who is in the eraplJy of Messrs . Barker and Co ., iron-founders , sought about the engine to see if there was anything conne 3 ted with it . He went to the back part of the engine under the floor , and discovered several loose stones at the bottom , and oh pulling out a stone underneath an adjoining wall , he discovered a tin tube , about eighteen or nineteen menes Jong , wir . ch was optn at the end . There was a valve in the tube which would let the air in , and prevent it returning . Oa examining the wail more closely , a stone appeared to have been recently inserted , as the mortar was : damp and soft . Barker cailewf Jir . Bottomiey , and he went down to examine

      the place . On removing some stones , they found the tin tube screwed on to some gas piping , which passed through a Bolid stonewall , and throngh the cistern into the condenser of the engine . The effect of the valve was to admit a current of air into the condenser , to destroy the vaconm , and thus considerably to diminish the power of the engine . The prisoner was employed by the prosecutor as hia engine-tenter , and had been so for two year ? , daring which time he had conducted himself with much propriety .

      THURSDAY , AUG . 25 . SPECIAL COMMISSION . Mr .

The motion which he had to make to his Lordship was this—that these prisoners should remain upon their commitments uutil a special commission should be issued . He made the motion upon the affidavit of Mr . Maule , tho solicitor to the treasury , from which it appeared that there were at that moment 111 prisonera who had been sent for trial for various offences which

      had arisen since the commencement of the assizes ; and there were also fifty-six ethers in custody in York Castle , who had been sent there to await an examination on a future occasion . The affidavit further stated that other prisoners were likely to be committed , and that it was in contemplation to advise her Majesty to issue a special commission for the trial of these offenders , as well as others charged with the like offences , it was a ' FO sworn that there had not been sufficient time to consider the cases , and that only a small portion of the d positions taken before magistrates iu different parts of the county , had as yet been transmitted to the Secretary of State , and that tho officers of the Government who had Instituted these prosecutions had not had and would not have sufficient time , if this motion were not assented to , to prepare the prosecutions on the

      various cases . Mr . Justice Maule said , that having sat for a fort-Dight , and with tho probability of sitting another fortnight , he had no wish to prolong the assizes ; but he did not think the affidavit sufficient to justify the application , as it did not specify any particular prisoners , n « r did it state , except in a loose -way , that other evidence was likely to be forthcoming , It merely stated that it waa believed that important evidence might bo expected , but it did not show the existence of any grounds for expecting it . This amounted to nothing at all . Mr . Wortley said , the affidavit alleged that there had not been sufficient time to obtain copies of all dbpositiocs , to peruse those ¦ which had been obtained , so as to classify the coses , and to prepare the indictments necessary to prosecute the several prisoners .

      Mr . Justica Maule said he did not think he could make any order , until he had heard what the prisoners referred to had to say upon the su ' . j ? ct ; and therefore the motion mast stand over for the present .

Wortley , resumed his application for adjourning the trial of one hundred and two prisoners confined in York castle on charges of riot . His Lordship had received an amended lffidavit , containing the names of the prisoners to which tUia application extended , but he was not able to carry tho statements further than in the affidavit he made yesterday . Notice had bsen given to all the prisoners , by reading it over to them , of the nature of this application , and therefore they had an opportunity of opposing it .

      Mr . Newton add he was instructed by three prisoners , Rushworth , Brook , and Gibbons , te oppose this application .

Newton appeared .

      Mr . Justice Mawle . —In all donbtful cases , beyond doubt , the proper course was to grant a rule nui . He had considered this application and the affidavit on which it was made . He had taken an opportunity of consulting with Lord Dariman , and upon a full consideration he had come to a conclusion , in which he had the authority of Lord Denman for stating that his Lordship fully concurred , that this affidavit did not sat out sufficient grounds for granting bo general an application—and therefore , acting with the full concurrence of Lord Denman , he refused the application . Ann Greenwood , 25 , was charged with the murder of Emily Greenwood , her daughter , by suffocating her in a privy .
