YORKSHIRE GAOL DELIVERY .
( Continued from our Eighth Page . ) tnrr tgndoicy . In some of thess letters tfee ¦ fcxiisr , frorn time to tame , < srpresse 3 timseJf as being ectirely ignorant of ths price of the gnoda that were sent by the gem . and that he occanonaUj had more gooda than he conid go Trifli . TIib son in reply bad stated that 20 - » ne eould unlersdl his father . On one -occasion the Hiher bad expressed great alarm through a letter to i t is on , owia ^ to hia belieTinj that one of ths prosecutors jad be « n at his shop in Preston . The son , in reply , Bsured Mb father that there vss no-danger of that tort , a * -the master ha 3 not l > een at Preston . At another tiae the younger prisoner -was exceedingly anx ious to make some comntnnlcstion to feis father , desmng him to rtate thatliis mother -ma Very ilL The
father did bo , the letter statin ? that if the son did not eome toiim s » n he \ ronld not find his mother alive . That letter -was shorn to the employer of the yemnger prisoner . It "was also found that among the property discovered ai the house of the elder prisoner , ^ r as an invoice , not an invoice of goods sent by any eller to the elder prisoner , but sn invoke . sent by a person residing at Birmingham , -who had sold goods to tiie prosecutors . This "would explain the eootents of a letter irhieo iras me& on the 2 d of ^ November , by the on to the father , -when he said ' you ¦ w 21 know the price -when I nenS yon the invoiea . " Ths inference ¦ was that the sod had slolen the invoice along with the goods and sent them to thejfather . The father , -who is a shoe-maker , previous to going to Preston , had resided
Viihhisson at XrrtstsU , and at the end of April last , lie removed to the former place . A snort time before that a dittoes 'was placed in the house of the elder prisoner for 30 s . This fact showed , as it was contended , that lie was not in a siinatftB to commence business ^ with his own means- When he left Xlrtstall he sot upon ths X ^ eds and Slripton coacb , he liaving "With him a large box and hamper . He said to the gnard that he was going to Preston , to open a shop is the shoe trade . He -went as far as Keigbley ¦ with the coach . He likewise stated to the guard that his son was in the same trade as himself , and that he ( the son ) kept two or three men in Ids employ , which itetement was of conrEe quito incorrect . Mr . Ellis laid tiie Jury would see from these facts that the possession
t& the property by tke son wasperfeedy clear , and he thought " when they considered the poaitition ' of the fathsr as to pecuniary circumstances , and also that of the son , who -was only receiving 10 a . a week , which fact was known to the father , they would be of opinion that he ( tie father ) could not feaTe received the gooda 'which had been Bent to him by his son at least without Borne suspicion , if he did not actually know , that they ¦ were stolen . A party who had just had a distress in his honae f ot 30 a . ma not the party to get credit for goods to the amount of £ 150 or £ 160 ; neither was a party in the receipt of only 10 a per -week likely to be credited to such an extent , especially as these facts would , in all probability , be known to the parties from Whom they might order their goeda .
Several -wStcesses -trere called in support of the above facts , and most of the property produced 'which had been found in the possession of the prisoners was identified by the prosecutors . Mr . Simpson , one of the partners , stated that he hid aoM the prisoner a quantify of Buxmner goods on four different occasions , the price of which would sot amount in the whole to £ *•;; but none of those goods Trere among the property -which had been found in the possession of ths prisoners , and -which was sow charged to have been stolen . The goods which he sold to the prisoner were of a low description , whilst those ZosHd in his possession , and at his father ' s , were of a Tery superior -character . For instance , some pumps Which the younger prisoner had bought of him were ¦ old at is . 9 i , 2 s . 2 i , and 2 * 63 . per pair ; en the other hand , those now produced -were sold at from 3 b . Si . to is . per pair .
Tha ldeatiacaSion of the property occupied nearij as hour , Messrs . Stead and Simpson having to go through the stock of ash 9 emaker * s establishment of considerable extent B .-fore addressing ths jury , Mr . Buss took an objection lo the indlchnect , submitting that the venue Was not lain in the proper coxmty , the elder prisoner having been apprehended in Lancashire . HJs LO& » SBi ? having OTer . ruled the objection , Mr . Bliss addressed the jury on behalf of the elder prisoner . The ground of liis defence was that if even the son was gnUtj ot stealing ibe -goods , there -eras not sufficient evidence to convict the father ef the offence Hiih which Ise -was charged , namely , feloniously receiving goods , -well-knowing them to bave been stolen . ' There -wzx no doubt that many of the goods had been traced to the possession of the father , but he contended
that ^ liere was not only not sufficient proof that the elder prisoner lad received the property with a guilty kne-wlscujB , but that thars was an absence of all that ¦ which-was nsually aduaced in support of cases like the pres » nt . As to the evidence touching the position in whicn the prisoner "was priced as to money matters , Trh = rit he left Kirkstall , he submitted it had ectirely liuec . There had been no concealment of the goods by xLe elder prisoner , and there was nothing consistent ¦ & iib the supposition that he h&d possession ot th «» prrp-ny -with s knowledge that th ; y had been stolen . Thp rorrespocdeaee trhich had heei read appeared to him 10 pr ^ Te bejeed doubt that the elder prisoner ¦ was ucitr tfc ? impression that his son was in possession of rn-yz ^ j , and - ' ? lie tpzb parcrirnng in a fsi ? and equable manner the gs-j&s ¦ ffhica he sent to him to " Prrisun for « ala .
? ir . Wimsi made a powerful sp «* cb on the part 01 tbe joaugtr prisoner . He contended that the pro-¦ ecui i * haci ocmpletelj failed in prosing " tile poTertj ' of the TTisoners , especiilly tisat of the elder pMsoser ; and fcence if there was not poverty then cams rho i ability io pErcbc » 2 -goods , and neihin ? had been prodntrd befor * the Jury to aho-w that any of the pro- perty -which , as he hc-d , had been very loosely idtntified . might not have been boIS by one of tee prosecutors &rm , or by some other person having their sutholity to do so . The wholB facts of the case appeared to him to be psrf fectly consistent -with tbe innocence of both ths prisoners . He looked npon the finding ; of the letters as a fact in favonr of toe prisoners , be-CHE 3 if they kB 5 W that they contained anything of a d&s ^ crocs character they would have been destroyed , and not hoarded up as it were to be produeed in evjdenca against them , as they had been to-day . Bat if the
prox--Tty had been stolen , how bad the prisoner cen-Tejei " a a-sray ? Tvhy . it appeared from tns evidenee adi ? uced on the part of tbe prosecution that be bad no chance of taking it in a felonious manner . How then ¦ were these things got a-way ? It had been proved that Vba goods Trere removed in hampers . How tfc-n "wets those hampers conveyed to the prisoners' lodgings ? On a truck . Whose truck was it ? It was the track of tie prosecutors . He took them in open day , and in addition to that a stranger slept in the same room in ¦ wineii the stolen property Tras alleged to cave been found . There "was no coneealmeDt , and it had never been pretended that the prosecutors had missed a ancle article , although they were in the habit of going through their stock once in tvery three months . Sub Xordship irarnag samme ^ up at g reat lergtb , the Jury almost immediately found both the prisoners euOty .
The Learned Jud » i , in passing sentence , said that this was one of the most -scicked end shameful cases of -irfcolesale depredation that Sid ever been in public . The felder prisoner had been enabled to sell the goods * t sach a price ae to prjve moft rninous to trade ^ and most iejurioas to the constant consumers of such articles as "well as to society at large . They had no adequate temptation for stealing -which the had excuse of -srant or ignorancemisht suggest . He severely censured the elfiei prisoner for having received ths properly from his own son . They h ^ intended to make a rapid fortune at the expense of the prosecutors , from the proceeds of these wholesale robberies . As he could not imagine a worse CS 5 S of larceny from etcpicyers , or a weTse case c ! receiving stolen property , he sbould pass npon tbe prisoners the bisbest sentence -which the law awarded- in Such cases . Toe seisteBea of tbe Court 'was that eacb of the prisciLerB bs transported for the term of ienrteeE years .

The Learned Jodgs decided against the latter objection , as he thonghtthat the house in qaestion was in some sense a dwelling-hoase to tbe two genilemen who were the mortgagees who put a lock on the door—namely , Mr . Watson and Mr . TumbnH . He was of opinion , however , that as the indictment contained no allegation that the prisoner intended to defraud a corporation called tbe Globs Insurance Company , the prisoner must therefore be acquitted . The Jury accordingly returned a verdict of Not Guilty , and he was discharged .

» oachi > - » at h » ttos-bu » hel . William Sugars , 43 , Charles Hall , 30 , and Qeorge Sharp , 36 , were indicted for that they , on the 18 ih of November last , at Hutton-Bushel , being respectively armed with guns , did unlawfully enter certain enclosed lands of the Hon . Marmadnke Langley , for the purpose of taking and destroying game . Mr . Ljdbeel and Mr . Jokxstonk were counsel for the prosecution ; Mr . Bliss defended the prisoners . The prosecutor , the Hon . Marmaduke Langley , is the owner of a wood called Yedmandale Wood , in ike tawnship of Hutton-Bushel , over which he had granted the sole right of shooting to Mr . Osbaldistone , who employed a gamekeeper to protect the
game . On the evening of the ll ; h of November , the gamekeeper wa 3 in the wood , and about midnight he heard the report of a gun in the lower part of the wood , upon which he got the assistance of two men named Dnnnill and Jennings , with whom he weni into the wood ; and after listening for some time , he found that there were five men . Tne gamekeeper saw one of the party , who came within five yards of him , and who was dressed in & " Jim Crow" hat , and a light coloured coat ; this man he saw fire a gnu , and he then lost sight of bim . The Hon . Mr . LangJey ' s keeper then joined the watchers , and they waited until the firing had ceased , upon which they went to Ayton-bridge . Shortly afterwards five men came out of the wood ,
and proceeded in a direction to where they were . When the five men came up , one of the keepers said , " Now , my Jads , we have you , " upon which the men said " d—b your eyes , stand b&ek , *? and each of them immediately presented his gun , and threatened to Fhoot the keej > ers . A struggle ensued , and two men , named George Sharp and George Stephenson , were seenred , the former had two pheasants in his pocket , and the latter four . Their guns were taken from them and they were found to be loaded . The case was proceeding , when his Lordship reminded the Learned Counsel that they had given no proof that the ownership of the land was vested in Mr . L&ngley . A servant was therefore called , who had "b een employed by Mr * Langley in felling trees in Yeamaiidale wood . George Stephenson , the man who was first apprehended , was admitted evidence for the crown , and the above detail of facts was given by bim , and supported by the testimony © f the
gamekeepers and their assistants . The party who went from Wold Newton , -were entirely strangers to the keepers . W . E . Woodall , Ee ^ ., one of the clerks to the magistrates at Scarbro ' , proved that the prisoners , when before the magistrates , and after due caution , made statements which were taken down in writing . They admitted having been present on tbelandiof the Hon . Mr . Langleyon the night in question , and the prisoner Hall explicitly admitted that he was there in search of game . Mr .. Buss saio , after the admission which had e . een aade by Hall , he could a » t offer anyobsMTatioM in hiB beaalt , but would leave him in the hands £ S ® 5 *\ JnrT - With res I » ot *© the others , be denied on thebr behalf that there was any evi ' dence of their being armed in tbe wood ; and though an accomplice had been called , yet the learned counselor jhe prosecution had sot got the prisoners sufficiently within the meshes of this

Carr , at Norton , near MaltoD , on the 2 nd 01 December last , and stolen from his person a variety of articles of grocery . Mr . Raines w » s counsel for the prosecution ; Mr . Blanshabd defended the prisoner . The prosecutor is a mole catcher , residing at Kennythorpe , near Maiton . On Saturday , the 2 ad of Dec , he was at Maiton market , which place he left about five o ' clock in the afternoon . He went from Maiton to Norton , at which place he stopped until about half-past nine o ' clock , when he proceeded along the road towards Whitewall , and when he had reached a place called Beck Mills Lane he was
accosted by two rni-n , who rushed upon him from a comer of the hedge ; one of them struck him on the face and knocked him down , whilst the other rifled his pockets ; they both used very considerable violence , and nearly strangled him . They took from him a quantity of tea , coffee , sugar , and tobacco , two knives and other articles , and then left him . They soon , however , returned , aud told him they knew he had a watch , and then the violence towards him w < ts repeated .

what had occurred , and told them that one of the men who had robbed him was " Oyster Bill , " a name by which the prisoner was known . The prisoner was apprehended on the Friday following , having been out of the way ; n the meantime , and on tbe prosecutor seeing him , he at once said that he was one of the men who had robbed him . A man of the name of Joseph Watson , who was stopped and robbed on tho same uigat at the same place , also gave evidence as to the identity of . the prisoner , who had been seen in the lane by several parties just before the time of the robbery . The other man has not been taken .
Mr . Blanshard . in addressing the Jury , eontended that the identity ot the prisoner had not been bo sufficiently proved as to justify them in finding him guilty . The L&arned Jbd « e , in tho course of his summing up , dwelt upon tbo tact that tho prosecutor , iu narrating the particulars of tho robbery , had never mentioned that be knuw the prisoner uniil the 'f uosday following . Hia Lordship , under all the circum-Btances , thought there was a doubt ; if the Jury agreed with him they would giro the prisoner the benrfh of it . The Jury , after a vsry short consultation , returned a verdict of Guilty . The Learned Jvdss sentenced him to bo traasported for fifteen years .
OTTERING FORCED OR » KRS AT HUDDER-FIELD . John Wadivcorth ( " 28 i , iicv .-gc Frost Citji , and George Briqgs ( 38 , ) were indicted lor that they on tbe 27 th and 28 th of October , at Hndder-fisld , did unlawfully conspire together to obtain certain goods from Ebenez ^ r Thornton , by means of . forged orders . Mr . Pa « hlev and Mr . Mo . xtejth were counrel for the prosecution ; Mr . Raine 9 ( who held the brk f for Mr . Bliss ) , defended WadBworth ; and Mr . Jnchak defended Bngcs ; Frost was undefended .
Mr . Paihlet stated the case . The indictment contained three counts , in which the prisoners were severally charged—Wadsworth , with uttering a forged request for the delivery of Roods , knowing the same to be forged ; Frost with being privy thereto , and with counselling and persuading Wadsworth to utter the note ; and Froat and Briggs with jointly aiding and comforting WadBworth , as accessaries after the fact . The evidence adduced went to show that the prisoner Wadsworth , habited as a carrier , and with a whip in his hand , went on Friday and Saturday , the 87 th and 28 th of October last , to the shop of Mr . Ebenezer Thornton , ironmonger , Hudder&field , and presented on eacb day , a written order , purporting to have been signed by John Bamford , who is a joiner and builder , carrying on business at Longwood ,
about four miles from Huddersfield . The order on Friday tho 27 ih , was for 5010 cut floor nails , and that on Saturday the 28 : h , for one web of sacking , both of which articles were delivered to him . With regard to Frost , ; it was proved that the orders were similar to his hand-writiDg , and conrersations , showing a guilty knowledge , were proved to have taken place between himself and Wadsworth ; and with regard to Briggs , it was showii that on the 2 lh of October , the day the web of sacking was obtained , he took it to a pawnbroker ' s shop in Huddersfield , and pawned it in the name of George Sykes , and that afterwards he and Fro « t jdieposed of the ticket to a man named Spirey . There was another indictmem against * . hc ; prisoners for having , on the 27 ih , 28 ih , and 30 th of October , obtained in like manner sandry goods from ilr . William Kaye , also of Huddersfield .
The prisoners were proved to have been together duriug Wednesday , Thursday , Friday , and oaturday , the 25 th , 26 th , 27 th , and 28 th of October , at the house of John Sutcliffe , a beer retailor , at Huddersfield , at whose house Wadswortu and Brig « s lodged , aud where Frost visited them daily , at which times they had always pens and ink , and to which place tho various goods were taken , and where , from the conversations -which to 6 k place , arrangements were made for disposing of the property obtained . The witnesses for the prosecution were twelve in number . They were severally cross-examined by Mr . Raines and Mr . In ^ ham , but the facts of the forgeries and the mterbg , and of the acting in concert were fully proved , as also were the obtaining of the goods by means of the forged orders . '
After the opening of the case by Mr . Pa 6 hl * t , Mr . In « hah , on behalf of Briggs , put it to hia Lordship whetner the Learned Counsel had opened with any case against his client . He contended that be had sot , aud that , therefore , his acquittal must be tbe consequence . The Learned Judge said , he thought there was sufficient in the opening to call for the evidence to be beard . After the evidence had been gone through , Mr . Jngham renewed his objection , which his Lordship said he would put to the Jury . : Jl " Mr . Raines and Mr . Ingham severally addressed the Jury on the part of their respective clients , contending that the evidence produced by the prosecutors had signally failed in bringing home the crimes laid to their charge .
Mr . Ih « HAii called two witnesses , who spoke to the character of Briggs previous to this occurrence , as having been that of an honest man . Frost also called a man named William Taylor , a shoemaker , who stated that Briggs gave him a bag of nails , but Frost did not go ; out with him to dispose of them . Mr . Pashbet then replied , persisting that the witnesB whom Frost had called , completely confirmed the evidence he and his Learned Friend ( Mr . Monteith ) had adduced on that head . His Lobdship then carged the Jury , observing with respect to tbe legal objection ventured by Mr . iDgbam , that Briggs was indicted as an accessory after the fact , for having " maintained and harbeured" Wadsworth after the commission of the offence . The Jury , after a short consultatioa , found Wads worth and Frost Guilty , and acquitted Briggs .
MANSLAUGHTER Ar 7 ATKINCTON . Thomas Raynor , 19 , and Juries Brown ^ 20 . were charged upon the coroner ' s inquisition , with the manslaughter of Tijcmas Smales , at Patrington , ia the East-Ridiug , on the 10 th of July last . Mr . Hall and Air . Raines were counsel for the prosecution ; the prisoner Rayner was defended by Mr . Blassbard ; and Brown was undefended . Mr . Hall stated the case . The prisoners were indicted for manslaughter , an offence which was committed in the course of strife between the deceased and Raynor . * Phe deceased and Raynor were , on the day ia taxation , in a publi * houie , at
Untitled Article
Patrington Haven , kept by Thomas Armitat ? e , when they began sparring , and the deceased at length' challenged Raynor out to fight . Raynor behaved well , and endeavoured to dissuade deceased from fighting , and the landlord also endeavoured to appease him . At last , however , they went out to fight , and deceased stripped . In one round the deceased , Smales , received a blow in the stomach , and , being much hurt , he gave up the combat . He was taken to bed , where he remained until the course of next day , when * he died . The medical gentleman who attended him . Mr . J . S . Land , of Patrington , would tell the Jury tbat be found severe inflammatory action in the abdominal cavity , which , in his opinion , had been
produced by a blow , and was the cause of death . If such were th « cause , then the law deemed both the party who inflicted that blow , and his " bander , " or bottle-holder guilty of manslaughter . He ( Mr . Hall ) was of opinion that Raynor had been provoked and irritated ; yet it wa 9 not necessary to hia own defence that ho should have given the blow in question , and be had gone put deliberately to fight . Prisoner Brown had acted ae *'* bander , " axd the law said , iu cases of this kind , those persons who took part in it , or encouraged the parties actually in warfare , were liable to punishment along with a principal , in case manslaughter should ensue . The Learned Cjunsel concluded by saying this wan by no means an aggravated case , yet there could be no
doubt the crime was one of manslaughter , aud the principal question was whether death was caused by the blow Raynor had struck at the deceased . Mr . Blahshard , in oross-examination of the witnesses , elicited that the prisoner Raynor had hitherto borne an irreproachable and humane character . In his address to the jury , he said his client did not pretend to deny having struck a blow at the deceased , but conjectured that it was possible and very probable death might have resulted from , something else . The deceased died from periponetis , an inflammation of a small membrane which covered the abdominal
cavity , and that was a disease which mifcht result from " many other causes , but iu a person who had been aflicted with muen disease , or whoso stomach was overcharged at the time of some misadventure , inflammation of that organ would readily arise . He ( Mi . Blanshard ) strongly urged upon the jury the faot that Raj nor had showed a disinclination to enter into a pugilistic encounter , and also that the counsel for the prosecution had been instructed to admit that the offence had been committed under circumstances of much excitement and aggravation . The court having summed up , the jury found Rayuor Guilty , and Brown was acquitted .
Mr . Hali . said the parties concerned in tho prosecution prayed that his Lordship would give this case iiis most merciful consideration . The Court , ia passing sentence , admitted that there was great grouu for palliation in this case , aud therefore he was unwilling to subject Rxynor to that contamination which would be the result , of confinement , the sentence therefore was that ho be imprisoned for a week , commencing from tho date of this commission , which would therefore make that part of the punishment mere y nominal , and , in addition to that , be fined 49 a ., and enter into his own recognizances of £ 50 to keep the peace for two years . Robert Greensmith , 19 , pleaded guilty to an indictmeut , charging him With having out and wounded John Bell , on the 17 ih of November last , at Rawmarsh .
Mr . Monteitii , on behalf of his learned friend Mr . Boothby , said he was instructed to say the prosecutor : wished Ho recommend the prisoner to his Lordship ' s merciful consideration . His Lordship took time to look over the depositions and consider or' the sentence . The Court rose at six o ' clock .

CHAilGE OF STEALING A £ 50 NOTE AT HALIFAX . John - -Kevins , was indicted lor that he , oh the 2 nd day of November last , at Halifax , did feloniously steal a Bank of England note for £ 5 tl , out , of a letter which had passed through the post office . The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty . = Counsel for the prosecution , Mr . Hall and Mr . Pi « kekino ; solicitor , Air . W . F . Holkoyd , of Halifax . Council for the prisoner , Mr . Wilkins ; solicitor , Mr . Haiidinbu , ot Manchester . Mr . Hall said the prisoner at the bar was indicted for having stolon a £ 0 bank note , and as the monty had been transmitted iu a letter tre indictment was specially drawn under an Act of Parliament which had been passed for prefervi > g property so
transmitted . Tne prosecutor , Mr / lioborJ Baldrey , is a woolatapler , carrying on business at Halifax , and he lias an agout who transacts business for him at Rochdale . Tho prisoner ia a cigar manmacturer at Manchester . Mr . Diiw .-on , who is the agent Of the prosecutor at Rochtialo , is in | the habit of rtmitiiii K money by poat to his employer , and on the 2 ud of November last hn remitted a £ 50 note in a leitor to Halifax , and of that note he bolieved ' there would bo no mistake of the identity , He sent that note by the punt , which would leave Rochdale at a quarter to eleven o ' clock , and he did not reach tho post-offico with it until about , twenty minutes to eleven o ' clock . That letter he gave to the postoffice clerk at tbo window : it was thicker than
usual , aud was noticed on that account . When Mr . Dawson arrived at the post-offieo , ho was told that the bag had been inado up , and he then applied to have the letter sent by that post , upon which it was put loose into another bag , in which tho bag containi&K tho other letters was also put , aud tho bag was then sealed iu the regular way , and despatched to Halifax . Tho bags aro sent from tho post office at Rochdale to the railway station ; they go by that train to Sowerby Bridge , and are from thence ; taken forward to Halifax by a mail cart . The time for tho arrival of the mail at Halifax , is generally about twenty minutes before one , and the time for tho delivery is half-past one . On the day in question the bags were delivered at the
postoffice at Halifax at tbu usual time , and thoy were tliero delivered safe with the seal unbroken , and consequently with all in them which bad been enclosed at Rochdale , for no person could abstract anything from the bags without breaking the seal , and of that he had not heard my charge . Tho letters on their arrival are sorted by the postmistress and her son , and on one of the earlier days of November they saw a loose letter in the bag- There are two postmen , for whom the letters in the town are transferred after they have been sorted , and th 3 y divide them into their respective districts and deliver them in town . Mr . Baldrey ' s letters are delivered by Whittaker , one of these men , and in order that Mr . Baldrey may get them sooner than , he would by the
regular time at which they v > ould be delivered at his owii premises , he had them left at the Golden Lion Inn , which is about forty yards from the Postoffice . Wiutaker also delivers letters at the upper George Inn , and his practice is to throw the letters promiscuously on the bar table , and they are afterwards assigned to the parties to whom they are respectively addressed . Mr . Baldrey ' s letters are a-lways sent , for Whitaker reaches the Golden Lion about half-past one , and the upper George at a quarter before two . He carries the letters in his band loose , and this letter and its contents had not reached Mr . Baldrey . He sent his usual messenger to the Golden Lion on the 2 nd of November , and it ought to ; have been delivered on that day . That
leittr contained the £ 50 bank note in question , and the next time that aote was heard of was on Wednesday , the Ion of November , on which day the prisoner paid it into the Branch Bank of England at Manchester , as a part of a Bum of ill 2 ( for which he obtained two bills , payable in London . The money he paid ia the name of his ancle , Mr . George Bevins , and it Would be shown that neither the unole nor the nephew kept any acoount at the bank . A niouioraildum was made upon the note at the time it was so paid into the bank , on acoount of George Bevins , and that note would be identified as the one sent from
Rochdale by Mr . Dawson . The reason , therefore , why the prisoner was charged was , because very recently after it was missed , that is within six days , he was found trading with it by paying it into the bank , aud because he denied , when he was asked , that he had paid a £ 50 note into the bank at aL , but said he had paid a £ 30 . The prisoner was also at Halifax on the 2 nd of November , the day on which the note ( Wight to have been received there by Mr * Baldrey , but which never reached hin ^ and was next found in the possession of the prisoner , and under these circumstances they called upon him to account how he sot it . These were the facts of the case .
Evidence was then gone into at great length to prove all ; the facts stated by the Learned Counsel ia his opening , after which , Mr . Wilkins , addressed the jury in a feeling speech on behalf of the prisoner , and contended that from the evidence they had heard they could not find a verdict against his client . Several witnesses from Manchester , Carlisle , and . Liverpool , were called , who all gave the prisoner a mostjBxcellent character for unblemished integrity . The Learned Judge summed up the casein a clear and concise manner . ' Tho Jury , after a few minute ' s consideration , returned a verdict of Not GuiHy , and the Learned Judge ordered the prisoner to be immediately discharged .

Mr . Pickering was for the prosecution , and he stated that there ! were circumstances connected with the case which showed that the deceased had Riven very great provocation , and that the stone which had been tho cause of death , had been thrown in a moment of great excitement . Under these circumstances ; on the part of the prosecution , he begged to recommend the prisoner to mercy . Mr . Wilkins , who was engaged for the prisoner , said he had advised bim to plead guilty , and he begged to join in the hope that , after his Lordship had read the depositions , he would be very merciful in his punishment . Sentence was deferred .
OTTERING FORGED ORDBR 3 AT HUDDERSdIELD . George Briggs , 38 , George Frosty 36 , and John Wadsworth , 28 , who were tried * yesterday , and the two latter found G lilty , were again indicted on another charge-, for ) l at they , on the 30 th of Oct . last , by means of forged orders , did obtain from W . Kay , at Huddersfield , 601 bs . weight of floor nails , and ten thousand lath nails , the property of the said Wm . Kay . ; Mr . Pashley and Mr . Monteith were counsel for the prosecution ; Mr . Ingham for the defence . The circumstances were precisely the same as those reported in tbe case yesterday , with the execptiou that Briggs was charged with having uttered the notes .

Mr . Pashlet stated that he . had Several other cases of a similar nature against all the prisoners , but as they were now found guilty perhaps bis Lordship would consider that he need not go into any more . i His Lordship , said he would defer passing sentence , and would look through the depositions .
BICHWAV ROBBERT NEAR H 0 DDERSFIELD . Abraham Shaw 29 , was charged with having , on the 3 rd of October ; , at Huddersfield , feloniously assaulted James Farrar , and stolen from his person a tobacco-box , two lialf-crowns , and other property . Mr . Pashlev wasicounsel for the prosecution ; and Mr . Dear 8 Ley defended the prisoner . The facts of the ciise are briefly these : on Sunday , the 8 th of October , ! the prosecutor , who resides at Stainland , was returning home from the neighbourhood of Staley Bridge , where he had been on a visit to his brother ; and on arriving at a place called the * t Scouts , " which is between the towns of Marsden and Huddersfield , he was accosted by the prisoner , and under the impression
that'the latter was surely in rrcat distress , the prosecutor gave him twopsnee . Tne prisoner then said he must have more , and immediately put his hand into the prosecutor ' s pocket , and pulled out his tobacco box , containing two half-crowns . The prosecutor , ia his answer to questions put to him by Mr » Deareley , in cross-examination , gave evident proofs to the court that he was not of sound mind . He stated that , about eighteen years ago , it was advertised in the Leeds Mercury , that a considerable portion of Yorkshirejhad been given to him , although he had never yet received a farthing benefit . He also stated that much correspondence had passed between him and George IV ., through the medium of the same paper . Under these circumstances , the jury , by his Lordship ' s direction , acquitted the priioner . i The Court rose about six o ' clock .

A Strange Stohv ;—Oh Monday or Taesdav , a young bov came to the house of a respectable woman in South Queensferry , and asked lodgings for the night , a request which was granted . In the course of the evening something occurred to induce the landlady to suspect the sex of her lodger ; and on further inquiry it appeared that the boy was no other than a young lady , of an age not exceeding 20 , dressed in male ] habiliment ? . The landlady , alarmed at this , sought the advice of the Rev . Mr . Dimma , minister of the pari « h , as to how she should proceed ia this delicate conjuncture , who at once came to the lady , 4 » d questioning her upon tht > cause of her assuming po nnfeminine a garb , obtained from her the' information that she was of Greek extraction ; but that her father , about three yeirs ago , had come into possession of landed property in the south of Scotland , where they had lately been residing . ! She further stated , that her
friends had insisted upon her marrying an old gentleman of 80 , and that the ceremony had actually been performed that morning ; but that she was eo disgusted with the disparity of the match , that she had ae > zed the opportunity , when left to her ? elf , of dis ^ uisint ? herself in ] the dress in which she had come to Q , 'ieeusferry , l and eloping from her friends altogether . She refused , however , to give any names , or anything that ou ^ ht lead te the testlujj of the story . There is of course some improbability , to say the least , in this tale ; but we understand Mr . Dimma'h opinion is that she is really a Greek , that she speaks the French language fluently , and the English pretty well ; but that it is evident whib she is speaking in English she is thinking in Greek . Her manners are evidently those of a superior condition in life . Efforts are making to discover the friends of the fair fugitive and the truth of her story ., winch it is hopud will speedily be successful . — Edinburgh Courant .
