      ScAXTJAXors Asbao-t bt a Gameeezpeb . —A man named Thomas Abrams Abrams , -Who has long been a faTOUrite gamekeeper of the Duke of Buckingham , was , on Saturday last , justly convicted at the Buckingham Petty Sessions , of kicking and beating on the head with his gun , a young man or lad of Maidmorton , named East . The -wound on the poor fellow ' s head , and the blood which smothered the jacket of the complainant , proved the ferocity of the fellow . The lads were amusing themselves by throwing stones at some birds in a hedge ( no game was near ) , when Abrams pounced upon them , using the most horrid language of furv and passion , and finally beating to the earth , with his gun , the unfortunate complainant . Abrams was fined £ 5 , or in default to be sent to Avlesburv tread-wheel for two months . He was

      taken away and locked up by Mr . Giles , not being able to get two sureties . Abrams was again brought forward on a charge of shooting at J . East , Jolly , and Pargetter , wounding East in the hand , and striking ¦ shots in the cap of Jolly . The further hearing of this charge was put oil until Tuesday , in order that Abrams might have some person to assist at the examination . ~ On Tuesday the case was again brought on , when the room was so densely crowded that it was impossible to take notes of the proceedings . The examination of the case , however , was proceeded with , and brought to a conclusion by Abrams being committed for trial at the next assizes for the county , lie was allowed to find bail , and was bailed out on Wednesday by twoof the duke ' s tenants , one of whom went to Stowe for pennission that very morning !—Avlesl / urv - Y < tr * .

      Stabbing rx Leicester . —On Monday night , at eleven o ' clock , a young man named John Raten , and a young woman named Gilham , Tr ith whom he kept company , were in the Gallowhee-gate , l ^ eicester , near the Castle Tavern , when he stabbed her in the neck , and in the back between the shoulders . She screamed out , and succeeded in getting into the tavern , where she was placed in a chair . The flesh protruded from the wound in the nwk , and the blood flowed out with increased foi-ee from the wound in the back every time she breathed . Mr . Macaulay , surgeon , was sent for : and subspijviMVtly the jrirl was removed to her res ' n ! t-ii < - -e , the Albert Inn , where she lies in . i

      niu ^ t dangerous state . The jBin was apprehended upou the spot , but made comw ^ rable resistance . The P > amv Rohbeby . —The report said to havr been in < -irculatioii yesterday . "That four of the JL'J . iWHi notes stolen from Messrs . Rogers ' s hank had K » en traced to a party in London , and that one of them was presented at ihe Hank of England , ami thenstopped fur further inquiries , " is without luumliition . Neither is it true that an officer had arrived in Dru > - sek in t r uest of the fugitives , . is assertitl in one of the Belgian papers .

At ten o ' clock , the jury sent for the coroner , and informed him they could not agree upon their vmlict , and that there was no probability of their agreeing . At eleven o ' clock the coroner vas again sent for , mid , nt a quarter to nwlve the hall doors were oj « -ned . — The Coroner : " Mr . Foreman , aiT you agived upon your verdict : "—The Fonman : "Yes , sir . " The following verdict was then recorded : — " We return a verdict of Accidental lX-ath , and the jury impose a deodand of il . iKwi upou the engines , tenders , and cars riages . heing the j > rrij » TTy of the MifEand Counties Railway , but in so doinsr we l > ec to remark that we are convinced the collision took jilace in consequence of mismanagement , and the want of a clear understanding on the part of tbe company ' s servants of the directions which were given ; but owing to eonnicth "' evidence we are not able to decide

      who arc the parties individually implicated . We are of opinion that much improvement may l > e made in the general management of tlie Midland Railway , particularly at the Nottingham station , tendinu materially to secure tbe public safety . We think it important that the servants , and particularly the emrJne men and guards , should be instructed in and suitably impressed with the importance of the print < -il nik- > , and that a ? much as posaihic they should he o >> servetl to rhe letter . We arc also Of opinion that Jonathan Raven , the Beeston-station master , has L'iven evidence l > efore this inque .-t which the jury can place no reliance upon , and that he ought to forfeit the confidence of the company , and be no longer retained n < a public servant .

Chxi . msfosi ) , Dec . 4 th . —" WiiecexjIS . —Joseph i > la < 3-well , aged 44 , Joseph Gladwell , 20 , and Chenery Glailwel ] , were indicted for feloniously stealing a cabin door , a quantity of rope , planks , and other artieleR , tlie proportv of Thomas Carey . In another count the prisoners were charged with the offence of stealing property from a vessel that had been wrecked . It appeared from the evidence that on the 9 th of October a vessel called the Hazard-was moored off Great Claxton , on the Essex coast , and while she was laying there a storm arose Vliich drore her from her moorings , and she went on shore and broke up and hecatne a complete wreck , . her timbers and

      other materials being-washed upon the beach . One of tbe Essex constabulary was se : to watch the wreck , and about three o ' clock on tlie fullowieg morning he saw the three prisoners come with a horse and cart , which they proceeded to load with timber , rope , and other articles washed from the wreck , and on their being asked what tbej were about by the officer , they told him they were only taking *• shore wood , " and they considered they were entitled to it . The jury returned a verdict of ( iuilty . iir . Justice Williams then sentenced the elder prisoner to be kept to hard labour for four calendar months ; and the two younger prisoners were sentenced to two months of the same punishment

      NORTHERN CIR ^ CIT . Tokk , Dec . 2 . —Coisisg . —William Phillips and John Mat-lean , who were attired as mechanics of a superior order , were charged with feloniously having in their pussession certain metal dies for the production of counterfeit coin . The evidence was very voluminous , and left no doubt whatever that a mo ^ t extensive svstem of fraud was in contemplation , iarge sums of money having been expended in procuring the dies , 4 c , Hiid great ingenuity having been displayed in the whole of their proceedings . The prisoners did not attempt to deny having ) ia . d tlie dies , 6 ic , constructed , but they pleaded in mitigation that they were the innocent instruments in the hands of others , haviDg no intention themselves either to < -oin or to pa * s i-ount « rfeit monev . Thev

      alluded also to the information which they had afWdud to the police , and pleaded hard on account of their wiw « and families , that they might not be transported . Mr . Justice Coleridge , in passing sentence , observed that this \ vn <; not an ordinary c-ase by am means ; it was very different from that uf persons in a Ion condition or life with their common ptastir of Paris dies . Tliis was a much ni'ire serious ca ? 4 . —that of attempting to s < -duce a man flvm his hone-t trade to / make , with a great deal of paint and * kill , ainl at i-onsicliTabk- expense , metal dies , the intention beinjr to distribute to a wry large amount base coin with so mueh silver in it as to be nol easy ot" detection , and yet containing such an amount of alloy a ^ that the makers would reap great gain and tlie receivers suffer great loss . As the evidence appeared b- 'fure him

      at fr ^ ent , he ihuught lie was justified in making some distinction between the prisoners ; they must , however , both prepare for a sentence which would no doubt be most painful to iliem . He had listened to their story , and it certainly was painful to him , a * , it must be to any good man , to separate husband and wife , father as-. d children . ( At iltis . period rhe prisoner Phillips fell down in a laintiujr fit ; on beln ^ restored iu animation his lordship continued . ) The course of justiee could not , liovvev < r , be arrested by such appeals—the wife and children should be a pledge for tin- good ; uid hom-st conduct of a man , instead of being brought forward by wuy of palliatiou after the commission of crime . The sentence of tb < - Court -vva * , that Vhillips .-boulil be transported bc-) ond seas for lifieen years , and Maclean for twenty-one years .

      CHESTEB . TuEgDAY . DEe . 3 i-d . —MANBLAcairrEB . — Thomas Bradbury , a butcher , aged 24 , was indicted for killing John Poole at Ollerton , on Wednesday the 31 st of July last . It appeared by the evidence , that f * e prisoner and deceased met at a public-house called the Dun Cow ; that deceased was intoxicated at tbe time , and some altercation having ensued between them , prisoner struck deceased with an umbrella , but not with sufficient force to iuflict any iujnry ; this , however , heightened the misunderstanding between them ; and at length , deceased having charged the prisoner with being a poacher , the fatter struck eleceased on the nose , which emitted , ia consequence , a great quantity of blood . Eventually , this discharge became so alarmingly profuse , that a surgeon was sent for .

      tvho recommended the removal of the patient into a cool room , and prescribed Buch remedies as the case demanded . Deceased , however , neglected to follow the advice of his medical attendant , who had to be sent fov again that night , and the result was , that the unfortunate man lingered until the following Sunday , when he died from exhaustion . Mr . Henry Wagstaff , the surgeon first called in to visit the deceased , was rigidly cross-esamiued by iir . Townsenit , who appeared for the defence , and who succeeded in eliciting that long privation , consequent upon want of employment , intemperate habits , and cul . pable inattention to the directions of his medical attendants , joined to the unskilful mode in which two plugs had been inserted in the nostrils , had very largely contributed to the fatal result ; and the jury accordingly returned a verdici of "Not Guiltv . "

      Chester , Dec . ^ 5 . — The Task of Mn . Winter bottom—Charge of Forgery aojuxst a Solicitok . —This ease being fixed for this morning , the court was crowded to excess , the case exciting a very great degree of interest in consequence of the accused having occupied a most respectable station in the country , having twice served " the . office of Mayor of Stockpoit , and held the situation of clerk to the mag istrates of that borough . The prisoner was defended by Mr . . Jcms , M . I ' ., and Mi . WeLsby , who were brought down from London on special retainers for the purpose , as was also Mr . Bond Hughes , the celebrated short-h . 'tml write ) 1 , to take verbatim notes of the proceedings . The learned judge , who is labouring under seven ; indisposition , did . not take his seat

      until ten o ' clock . Shortly afterwards ( be graml jury came into court with upwards of twenty bills , including four against John IveiiyoiiW ' niterbottoiii for forgery . Thi > concluding their hii > iness , tlie court discharged them . The prisoner , John Keiiyoii WintcrbtiUom , w ; us then placed at the bar , charged with having had in his pos » i-K . simi ; i certain bill of exchange for t 5 , <•()(> , and that he had . forged to that bill the names '» f Kliz < i )« l ) i Ishenvood , Anna Maria Isherwood , Miriam Isherwood and Alma Magdalene l . sberwood , the executrixes , of the late Mr . John ishenvood , of Marplc IIall , with intent to defraud them . He was also charged with uttering the sa ' ul bill , with intent to defraud John Jackson , and . also with intent to dofraud Mes > rs . Roberts , Curtis , and Co ., bankers , of

      London . Each indictment charged him separatel y , with forging the names ol ' the respective endorsers , and also with \ ittoring . The prisoner pleaded not iruiltv . The Attorney-General , -Mr . Davjdson , and Mr . Ynnlley appeared for the prosecution . The Attorncy-( ienera ' l , in statins the . case to the jury said , lie wus placed in a most painful position , having known the prisoner all his life , and could not have lielieved he would be guilty of the offence with which he was charged , as he had always thought him as honourable a man as any in the country . The prisoner had been for many years previous to IH . 'tt ) an attorney in Stockport , and was the confidential adviser of the late Mr . John Isherwood , of Marple Hall . In the war 1814 , Mr . Isherwood effected a policy of

      insurance on his life for £ 5 , 000 , the prisoner transacting the business for him . When the policy was effected , it was * placed by Mr . I > herwood in a box at Marple Hall , where it was supposed to be kept until his death , which took place in May , \* 29 . After hi ? death tlu- prisoner went to the agent to the Felicin Life Office in Manchester , produced the policy of assurance , having , it was supposed , taken it from the deed-box of Mr . Isherwood , to which he hud iiece * s when attending his funeral . He informed the agent of the death of Mr . Isherwood , and asked for the requisite certificates to be tilled up . . He subsequently produced tho (_> . : inc . ites , and on the 2 ( ith Doe ., l , v !! i , called with i . ' -ni and the probate of the will oi the late Mr . Hienvood . The agent proposed , to

      pay the amount of the policy by a hill at seven days' sij : ) , ^ ,,, | the prisoner obtained a stamp for that purpose . The . bill was then drawn . by the agent and handed to the prisoner . He had at the same time been told that it must not lie cndwsed'by the panie > l > y procuration , or it would not Ik . ' paid by the office , (• n the 3 rd of January , lf < -lil , the bilJ was paid by the prisoner into " tho Stockport Bank , siml shortly alter that period he received considerable sums from the bank . When p ; iid into the bank it had the names of the ladies mentioned in the indictments on it ; but nhe should only " proceed on the one charging the prisoner with tortrinptlio luiliieot' Anna Magelelcnc Isiutwood , now Mrs . Lloyd . lio ( tlio Attorney ( ienevnl » woul . l confine himself to that case . The bill wnssubseqiici . t

      ly transmitted to Messrs . Jones , -Lloyd , and Co .. in London , for the acceptance of two of the trustee *" , oi the IVlienn Office ; it was paid by Messrs . Itolxn - and Co . In . May , Is-jn , application was made In Mis . Lloyd to the prisoner for the amount of the policy , when he said it wui . necessary , lx . * t ' o \ -o the im > iit- \ would be paid by the otiice , that there should !«• a Vunterbury probate obtained to her father ' s will , awell as a Chester one . To other applications lie < aid tlie money was safe in London , and the office would pay interest for it . However , in August , 1 * 40 . it was discovered that the prisoner had received Ihe money .- amlMr . hush was scut down to investii . Mtr the matter , and lie , tinding that tlie . prisoner had absconded ,-took means for his apprehension , and got

      advertisements issued uttering a reward ot £ 2 < K » for him . He could not he found , however , until the-month ot September last , when he was accidentally met with by a man iof tlie name of Paine , on the north shore , at Liverpool , when he was apprehended . A number of witnesses were then called to prove these facts ; after which , Mr . Jervis took several objections to the indictment , on the ground that the prisoner was indicted fur forging the names of each endorsomen i separately , whereas the whole endorsement was only one transaction , and the bill was not complete until all tlie names wtiv sitrm'tl ; thnt there was a variance ill tlie different counts , the title of the Pelican Ofljco not being correctly described , and that the bill itselt was not a negoeiable instrument until accepted

      therefore , there could be no fraud in uttering it . Mr . Welsby followed on the same side . The Judge said the point was one oi' great nicety for him to decide , , ijjd he irotild , therefore , reserve it for the consideration of tlie Judges . Mr . Jorvis then addressed tin- jury on behalf of the prisoner in a fjiost eloquent . « peeeh , contending that there was so much doubt in the ease that they could nut safely convict . It was manifest that thc-pri .- » mcr , being tinconfidential adviser ot' the family , considered that lie had authority to receive the money , and to endorse the bill , and therefore the utmost extent uf his guilt was a hivach ' of u-u *( . He implored tliem , tlu-cet < nv , under those ciivuiu * t ! iii < es , ' not . to consign the prisoner , bv their wnlict . to slavon : and his wife am !

      children to infamy . The learned Judge , in siimniiii'i up , said that alter t ' ie eloi | iicnt and foivibU addlvs .-tlvat had been delivered to them , it was his duty to lay the whole facts ot' the case before them , in order that they micht art-he at a proper conclusion . He then went into a full history of tlie tnitiMt -ti « n tr < n .. i lirst to liist , add in allusion to the bill , drew the at ten tion of the jury to the l ' aei . that the four siirnaturo alleged tf > We loiyetl all varied , and were in a feigned ii . ind ; and ilf uas iii » hi the faith of those -liunaf ( ices that the bill was paia in i . ondmi ; Mid , nil tlu \ t lm > l lieen pnived was done without the knowledge ot' tine \ ecntri . \ e . s , who had all tiiven their ( -videiice juo * t fairly , lie had paid the liill into his private banker-. . mil i > n tile - . faith that it was ; t yi » O"l and hone > t liill lie had drawn mi tliat Iwnker to the amount i . l £ -f , 41 o . It was a fejirtul thing that a man sh'iuM l »> ssess liinisdf of jinv pei-son ' s money by means ul

      lbr « rery , and then turn round and say that he thought he had authoi ity to use their names . This was negatived l > y tbe evidence , particularly by Mrs . Lloyd , who was a shrewd , sensible ivomiln , and had given her evidence with great intelligence and fairness . It was true that he had advanced money for the family , but that did not establish any authority to deal with this policy in the way he had done . Verdict . " liuilty . " The Judge ordered the prisoner to be removed , as lie should respite the judgment , in order that the objections raised by Mr . Jervis might be considered by the Jud-res . Mr . Jervis applied to have the prisoner tried or discharged on the other indictments . The Judge refiuscd to accede to the application . Mr . Jervis wished the Court to make a note of his application ; which the Court did . 'Die prisoner was then removed . The trial lasted about five limns iiml a half

A lew minutes ' ii'J ' oiv ten o ' clock Mrs . Tyrwliiu , accompanied l > yi Vi- husband and some friend .-, drove up to the court in her carriage . Shortly after , e ii ^ lit or nine other ; carriages arrived , from which alighted a nuinher ! of persons of rank and fashion , many of whom were tlie personal friends of the accused , whilst others Had been attracted bv the

      position Mis , Tyrwhitt has liitlicrto held in society . The . Judge having taken fin ' s seat , . lane Tyrwhitt was placed ; it the bar upon an indictment charging her with having stolon a jniicroM-opc , of the value ot L ' s . ( Jd .., in the hazaar of Soho-upuaie , on the evening of the Sth of November , the property of Mary Anne Lewis . The prisoner pleaded not guilty . She was elegantly attired , ami throughout the trial manifested the most pert ' cjrt confidence . As soon , however , as a doubt upon the fact as to her guilt or innocence was raised , by an ! intimation on the part ot the jury that it was their \ jibh to retire , she became greatly agitated . Mr . Clarkson , Mr . Doanc , and Mr . M'Mahon conducted the ease for the prosecution , a / id Air . M . Chambers ( with whom was Mr .

      Rallantine ) appeared for the prisoner . The first witness w .-w Alary Anne Lewis . She stated that she had-three counters in the Soho Bazaai-, in the room which was denominated the " . 'W 0 room , " at which she sold , stationery and fancy articles . About half-pjist four o'clock on tlie afternoon of ] Friday , tlie tfth of . Nov .. the prisoner , who was alone , came to her counter , and taking up a thermometer , demanded its price . She replied , '" 2 a . Gd . : " whereupon she asked whether it was a good one . and : if it could be warranted ? Her reply was in the affirmative , and that the manufacturer had put his name to if . I ' pon this she Hot under the counter , in order to pack up the instrument for the prisoner . ; Whilst she was in the act of stooping of course . she lost sight of the

      prisoner—but that was for the moment only . She then ottered to put tbe thermometer into ; t bo ? , , but the prisoner . said , " X <> , !> e quick , 1 « - i ( ii' < -k . " ' L ' pon this slic wrapped it up in paprr , ami handed it to the prisoner , who , having paid lor it , walked away . Mrs . Ilarker , < me ( if the matrons of the establishment , instantly came , and in consequence of her communication she searched her stall , when she missed « ue of tin ! only three microscopes $ lie had on her counter . The price of the article wa ? 2-. I'd . The microscope was . here produced nitd identified by the witness . Tlie foreman of the jury here inquired whether the thermirtneVer which the priMnie . r bad purchased and paid fur in any way corresponded in dimensions with the microscope which she was chai-ged with having

      stolen ' The respective articles were then produced , when it appeared that there was so wide a difference ' Loth in shape ami size as to ; render it improbable that tbe on < - could bo mistaken for the other by any one who stayed to examine them . Mrs . Ilarker , the n < -xt witness , said that she had been sub-matron 'of tlie bazaar for seventeen veal's . On the . *< tli ¦ nt' No \ ember she observed the prisoner go up ( o Miss Lewis ' s counter i and make a purch : i .- » - i of a tliennoineier , and \ that whilst the latter was wrapping the instrument up in paper , she most distinctly saw the prisoner take a microscope off' the counter with her left hand , ] and at nearly the saiiie 'moment hold out the other , to receive tbe thermometer from Miss Lewis . Thejprisoner then put the

      stolen article up the left sleeve of her dress and walked away , carryintr tho purchased article in her risiht hand . She instantly callod tin- attention of Miss Lewis to the civeumstam-e , and then went to Mr . liryant ' s office , to informi him of the transact ion . One of the doorkeepers , named Buitows , was then called , to whom she pointed out the prisoner . At this time the latter was talking to a lady and gentleman , when Huitows went up and requested that she would accompany him to Che office . . After a slight hesitation on the part of the prisoner , who , however , did not litter a word , the ; gentleman asked what he meant by " accompanying him to the office . " All the three then went towards the oltiec . Cross-examined : —The prisoner was searched in the office

      but there was not anything found upon her . W . Burrows , who bad l > een one of the doorkeepers of the bazaar for nineteen > e « irs , stated that on the afternoon iu question , in conseqiieucci-of a communication which was made to him , be went into the '' : 5 »> o room , " and seeing tho prisoner there iiieonversa tion with a lady and gentleman I her husband ) , he begged of her to accompany him to the office .: To this request the prisoner did not make .-iny ivjrh , l » it tlie gentleman in quired what lie meant ' . lle . ireplicd , that that was not : i proper place to explain , and 'hei ! repe .-ited his request that the lady would walk « it'll hiintntheoflici ' . Another doorkeepwr named Novris then came up , whereupon all parties proceeded towards the olh ' ee , Norn ' s walking hfhind . < 'n their anival at the anti-ii » om

      the prisoner ' s Im-baud asked what ibe lady v , a < was brought there tor' j Mr . l'nyant said , that tli < ' lady was accused it' liaA iii '_ « tolen an article from one of tbe stalls . The prisoner beard this charge but sin ' said not a word . ¦ As they were all proceeding (( Mm tlie auti-nn » m ! \ ow , \ rds the otiiee bo heard s'linetbiim fall , and told Norris tu look what it wa < . The latter thereup ( ni picked up the inieroseojie which had been produced . A policeman was then Milt for , and the prisoner' ' . riven into his charge . <;< - <> r ^< - Nor ris , i ' m- trthc ; -idoorUecpiT , said , tliat lie li . llowed all tin- parties to the u ' . tiiH-, and thar just as the prisoner was entering the doorv . ay he saw -JOinetbing white drop from bee sid .- . lie picked it up , and si ill , " Here is something the lady lias dropped . "'

      rpon ibis remark tbe prisoner ' s husband said , " sujpose she has , what can \ mi make of it ' . " Mi * s . Ilarkei in . slantly said that she luul seen the lady take the article troni Miss Lewis ' sfstall . Mr . Kryant then stated , that In-is clerk to the Ha / aar , and that when tbe prisoner w .-i * brought to tbedtlieeherliusbandha *] asked him tor what it was'tha ' sbe had been brought there ' Me informed h \ ui that she was ; iccti > ed < if ! ia \ iiiL r stolen an article fro ' ln a stall in the establishment ; tu which the gentleman observed , " siippo .-c s ] , e has ; is . there any use in making a d—d fuss about it ' . " He then sent fora policeman , to whom behave her in charge . Mr . Chambers addressed the jury on Mialfof tlie prisoner , contending that if the microscope alleged to have been token bv the prisoner had been taken , it

      was not with a felonious intent , and therefore could not be stealing . And , further , that tbe prisoner was totally incapable of the act charged against her . Witnesses were then called for the defence . The Judge then Mimmeil up , and observed that this case , with the exception of the station of the prisoner , did not present any extraordinary features . It wa . s in every respect similar to many other charges of felonioiislv stealing which hafl come before that Court during the present session . ! The person at the bar went to a shop to make a purchase , and whilst there , bad taken and seci-eted another article about her person , without having paid for it . Tho action was

      observed , she wiiij followed , and when accused of the offrnee . had eontrivedtodrop it without attempting to give the least account of the transaction . The simple question , therefore , for the ] consideration of the jury was , with what intent tho article had been taken , and whether the character which had been given of the prisoner , combined with the other circumstances of the case , was sufficient to warrant their arriving at the conclusion that she had not taken tlie microscope with a felonious intent . jThe jury having retired , returned , after an absence of two ' iiours and a half , with a verdict of " . Not Oriiilty . " The verdict was received with loud demonstrations of approbation , which were , however , instantly repressed . \
