Assaxjlt . —On Monday last a youpg man named Thomas Binks . was brought up at the Court House , onacharge of having , on Saturday night , committed a violent assanlt npona female named Emmi Crowther , The complainant , it appeared , had been on a "visit to some friends at Bradford , from which place
j she was * returning home to her parents at J \ ew i Road End , Leeds , on Saturday night ; having mis-I sed the coach she set off to walk , and the prisoner comiDg sp with a cart , she asked him to aliow her 1 to ride / . He did so , and after stopping at two or j ttrree places on the road to get beer , -when near j Armley he proceeded to take liberties with the girl , j and in pulling her about tore her dress . She , hnwever , succeeded in getting out ofthe cart , and a i woman being nsar she fled to her for protection , and ; told her what the prisoner had done . She then got I a man to see her home , and the prisoner was appre-¦ hended on Sunday . He was fined £ 3 and costs , or j two months imprisonment .
J Hobse Stealing—On Monday Jast , a labouring j man named Rjcbard Kay , nndenvent an examina-I tion _ h : fore John Gott , E ? q ., one of ihe West Riding i magistrates , at Leeds Court House , on a charge of having stolen a bay mare , ; he property of Mr . Wm ! Thompson , of Harrogate . The prisoner was apprej bended by Policeman Whitehead , on the Saturday J morning previous , and by his activ . ty and Tigilance j the mare in question was recovered , and traced to
; her ownrr , a 3 well as a bay horse the property of Mr . : John Kirk , of Girendale , which had also beeu stolen . : It appeared that the prisoner came to Leeds on ! the Tue-dav previous , with iho hay horse , which he ¦ had - stolen during Monday nisjht , and after telling J a very plausible s : ory , i-ucct-eded in exchanging this , horse with Mr . Charles Uowburn , hay-dealer , East' street , for a mare , the prisoner receiving a sovereign ! to boot ! . This mare , a ! ter ssyiag that he wanted I her for hi 3 own use , ho afterwards sold in Leeds I market , atd , it wcnld appear , afterwards spent most
j of ihe mosey m no very creditable manner , lie , j however , left Leeds , and on Saturday morning re-: turned with 2 &r . Thompson ' s mare , which he had : stolea from Harrowgate Stray during the night , aud J which hs also took to Cowburn' ? , and off red her for I sale , at a Sgure apparently below her value . This came to Wnitehead ' s ears , and he wen : and took him into custody , charging him ac the time with having stolen the aDimal . The lattsr case euly _ vras gone into , and on thjs charge the magistrate decided on sending the prisoner for trial ! at the West Riding sessions . We understand , howi ever , that a bill for stealing Mr . Kirk's horse witt J , ba laid befcre the grand jury at YoTk Afs ze ? , and j that an habeas will be applied for to reniove the j prisoner there for trial on that charge . The prij soner is well known in iLe neighbourhood of Harroj gate , R 5 pon , Sea . He is a very stoai man , aad we ; believe lived for several years with Mr . Mayaard , of 1 MaTton-le-Moor .

They Wire fiued 20 s . each : and cosk , which was paid .

q- his bargain , he seemed as it were endeavouring to mend his hold ; at length , having ascended to a distance almps * beyond the ken of the ej r e , befell liko a stoue dead to the ground . Our informant immediately ran towards the spot , and to his groat surprise Baw a . little weasel leave the body of the bird , and make leisurely away , * upon examining the kite , he found a wound upon the nock , winch was the cause of hiB death , and the question seems to be—did the weasel \ disentangle himself from the bird ' s claws , and ride comfortably upon his back till he effected ^ is rtetoration to his OWO . telement?— Hereford paper , .
