His Lordship ohserveil, that after Perus'ng the depositions placed before him, respecting the f*«** into which it would be their duty to inquire, he thought I ""glit fairly venture to congratulate them on the marked l*Pr°vement in the state of public feelinj, since the duty last **ol*ed npon him of presiding in that Court for, although of the charges in the calendar were of a description oular to those which then formed the subject of inquiry, yet ■pp^ared fof jjje most part, they were offences com- fca'lV' 'r'ng "t time; and taking the calendar as a whole, th thr«"P were in it no features to induce him to tliiak 1^. *e indicated the existeace of that spirit of avid the reckless destruction of life and pro- *hich at that time prevailed in the county.

There was likewise a ° highway roliherv, in which it appeared dubious wneuier the t,.entity of the accused had been satisfactorily < e out. The calendar rontained several cases in which parties charged with sheep-stealing. He (the Learned ■ regretted to see the great number of offences of that • nplinn, sheep being a kind of property much exposed to oepra.laliou and he was sorry to obs.-rve, that the recent re- ^cation of tbe law in regard to this crime should have the eitect of increasing tbe crime, as ii appeared to have in this couo y* the charges were proved, it would be necessary to inflict a severe punishment on the parties con- victed ot these depredations. His Lordship concluded by expressing his readiness, in case any difficulties should pre- sent themselves to the Grand Jury in the discharge of their duties, to render them any assistance in bis power. • To tb« Grand Jury of t1i« Borough hit Lordship observed, that he was happy to congratulate them on the light duties they had to perform, and on the generally peaceable and quiet state of their town. There were no more than two or three cases in their calendar, one being a charge against a party for uttering a forged money-order. The prisoner being a person of no education, they would probably come to the conclusion that he had not forged the ortler himself; still, if his conduct was such as to betray on his part a knowledge and consciousness that he was iloinjf wrong, he would be equally guilty of uttering. After calling attention to another case of a trivial character, his Lordsbip recommended the Grand Jury to their duties. TRIALS OF PRISONERS. Mr. Vauglian Williams made an application of rather a novel character. There was an indictment to be preferred at these Assizes for sheep stealing against Thomas Thomas, who was in custody in Brecon gaol, on a charge of murder. He wished to apply both on behalf of the prosecutor and of the parties who had bai:ed the prisoner 011 the former charge, to discharge their re- cognizances. It appeared that, when the prisoner was uppre- headed on the charge of murder, he was out on bail oil the other charge. His Lordship said, that the proper course would be to respite the recognizances to tlie next Assizes. In c ise the prisoner were convicted of the murder, ihen the recognizances should he dis- charged, but if lhe prisoner were acquitted, then the parties who had bailed him might take him into custody 011 the charge of sheep stealing. Mr. Williams suggested that his Lordship should issue 11 bench warrant for his apprehension, which might be placed in the prose- cutor's hands. His Lordship would not like to issue a bench warrant against a partv out on bail, at least until a true bill had been found. [During a subsequent part of the day, the Grand Jury found a true biil against the prisoner nn the charge of sheep stealing, and a bench warrant was issued for his immediate apprehension, in case of an acquittal on the charge of murder at Brecon.] MANSLAUGHTER.—Evan EdwardY, 23, inason, was indicted for having, on the 16th of November, feloniously killed William Gray, of Llangado( k.— Mr. Nicholl Carne conducted the prose- cution, and Mr. Vaughan Williams defended the prisoner.— Front the statement of the Learned Counsel for the prosecution, and the evidence of the witnesses, several of whom were examined, it appeared that, on the day in question, the prisoner and deceased. together with two persons named L-. wis and Williams, had spent a great portion of the evening in drinking beer at the house of a person n.med Vincent, called the Rose and Crown." in the village of Hans;adock.—They drunk between them about sixteen qual Is of ale, and, late in the evening, they commenced tossing, for the purpose of deciding which ofthein was to pay for the beer. A dispute took place between Gray, the deceased, and the pri- soner, arising from the tossing, and ultimately a qunrrtd ensued. They went out of the house to light, but the police having in the mean time been called in, the light was prevented. The police got the prisoner out of the house, and saw him part of the way home, leaving the deceaqed in the house. Thinking their services to be no longer necessary, the officers went away, when it appeared that the deceased afterwards left the house in company with another man for the purpose of going home. Thev came in con- tact with the prisoner, who called the deceased a •« swindler," when the latter called liim some name in return. A scuffle en- sued, when both fell i0 the ground. The police soon afterwards arrived, and separated them. While on the ground, the prisoner exctuimed that deceased had bitten his nose, and on examination it was found that his faoe bore the marks of slight scratches. On ¡ raising up deceased (who was under the influence of drink), the F i° "r? hlood running from his person, but the night being sye from where it came. The deceased then wen lome, and on his arrival ii wai found lhal part of his lower ip la een itlen nearly off. For a few days the wound ap- ueare o get on favourably under the treatment of Messrs. leomans and lliomss, surgeons, but on the 29lh of the same mon i, e'ne. or lock-jaw, ensued, which produced death. The prisoner had admitted to one of the witnesses that the deceased lj,.(i biiten his nose, and on his letting loose his hold, he (prisoner) bIt deceased s hp he likewise expressed his regret for what had occurre everal of the witnesses to the prosecution, and among o lers le eceased s father, bore testimony lo the prisoner's pre- vious goodcharaeter.-Verdict, Guilty, with a recommendation l^bo^ r^' 1^liaced. to fourteen days' imprisonment, with hard Josi»h Hurrombe, 15. and Charles Redman, 21, were convicted, on veM oAnulusive evidence, of stealing a quantity of wearing apparet. the property of Theophilus Evans, of Laugharne.— The prisoners were evidentlv old gaol birds, although no evidence of previous.convictions W!ls addl £ ed._i II passing se ntence, his Lord- ship old the prisoners that should they again be convicted, they wookl probably ba transported on which the elder prisoner pertly exclaimed, So much the better, Sir." This, however, did not a er ic sentence, which was, six months' imprisonment wilh %«^2UQr,Mr- Wi,8°" conducted the prosecution. IT J STEALING—CURIOUS CASE.—JohnThomas and Thomas i ? TTerj c,, ,r?ed with having stolen one sheep, the property of John Lloyd Price, Esq. Mr. Vauglian Williams was Counsel for I le prosecution, and Mr. Richards defended the prisoner.—It appeared that the proiiecutor, who is a magistrate for the county, possessed a large flock of sheep of a cro*s breed, between the ,ev,f't'he Welsh mountain. In 1842 he employed a farmer, named lbomas, lo mark them, which he did by cutting their ears in a peculiar manner. Soon after this, Simon, the prosecutor's ,ePJ*rOf observed that some persoas had altered the mark on lhe ears of one of the sheep, and for the purpose of keeping watch over that s.ieep, he marked a red ring round the neck, which he renewed as often as necessary. The two prisoners-were brothers- JJ ooe °f 'hem Accupving an extensive farm which adjoined t e prosecutor's, and the otkpr was a single mail assisting his father o.. a farm in the neighbourhood. Previous to 1844, Simon. Uie snvp.ierd, had left the prosecutor's service, and was succeeded by anouier person named David Duvies, to whom Simon, previou* to leaving the service, pointed out the sheep in question, but taviiig given no explanation or reason for marking it round the neck, Davies needed renewing the mark, but suffered it to obliterate. On tl,« 25ih of May last, he observed the prisoners cottrMitg a sheep with their do;; on the prosecutor's land._ He, not knowing .|ia ;!l ,|1C (;mei a„ke<l the prisoners if it was therrs, to which they jswred yes." Allei the sheep had been caught, he ( Davies V intimated his belief that it belonged to another farmer in ihe neighbourhood, but the prisoners persisted in say- ing that it belonged 10 them, took it a.vay, and ultimately sold it to a person named Roberts. It was subsequently found, and the fact was sworn to by Thomas, the marker, and several other wit- noses, that the sheep was the proaecutor's, and the same as had its mark changed by some person unknown two years before. On the part of the prisoner Mr. Richards contended that, even admit- ting all the facts adduced by the prosecution, the jury could arrive at no other conclusion ihan that the prisoners had taken possession of the sheep and sold it under the bona jidll impression that it belonged to them. but be went farther and called witnesses to prove that the prisoners had bought a sheep at Llanybvtiler fair, and marked it in exactly the same manner as tbe sheep in question, wfcich was not produced. The witnesses, however, described ibe sheep purchased as of the mountain breed, probably not knowing that tbe one missed was of the mixed breed already motioned.—H" Lordship, in summiiigup the evidence, observed, thai had prisoners left the case as it stood at the close of the prosecution, the facts would-baye probubl> been too obscure and inconclusive to convict; but in calling witnesses, tbey appeared to have adduced evidence against themselves. However, the de- fence made might have been the result of after-consideration. If the jury would be of opinion tbnl at the time the prisoners took tbe sheep, tfeey did so under the impression thst it belonged to them, they (the jury) would acquit them; ifthey look it knowing that it was not theirs (even if they thought il to be a stray sheep ) tbey would aanviet them. After a short deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty." Snmafl Thomas, 23, was indicted for having, on the 8th of November, stolen one ram, three ewes, and six lambs, the pro- I pert} of Tkoinaa Jenkin-. Mr. Vauglian Williams conducted tl» prosecution.—The prosecutor was a farmer residing at Danygraig, in the parish of Lranon. and at the lime of the theft the prisoner was a firm servant in The employ of farmer John Davies. Llwyn- vbrain, in the parish ot Llanartbney. The proseoulor possessed a ram, four sheep, and six lamb*, which he saw on the 6th of November, but missed them on the 9111. It was proved that on the 8th, the prisoner obtained from his master a few days' leave of absence, and about that time be offered for sale ten sheep to Mr. Thomas, a respectable farmer in the pal isb of Llangyfelacb, to whom he said that they belonged to his master, Davies, of Llwyny brain. He, however, did not buy them. but the prisoner subsequently sold them to Thomas and Jeffreys, butchers, Mor- riston. near Swansea, who killed them next dar. and disposed of the skins, which, consequently, could not be produced for identifi- cation but the number, description marks, &c of the sheep purchased by them of the prisoner corresponded exactly with lhos« of the sheep tni^ed by the prosecutor, while the prisoner's emplover contradicted the troth of statement made by the former to Mr. Thomas, and said that he had never employed tbe prisoner to sell* sheep for him. Verdict, Guilty." Sentence deferred. The Courf then adjourned.

He, however. knew neither the collegian nor his name. Sometime subsequently, Mr. Matthews received a letter, bearing the LIMn. dilo post-mark, and signed B. J. Robertson," requesting the postmaster to forward the enclosure with its contents to Mr. Lotherington, In this letter, was enclosed another, addressed to that gentleman, and enclosing 21. The writer stated that be was intimately acquainted with Mrs. Lotherington (his mother), and that he had obtained the order from some stranger, and had endeavoured to find out his (Mr. Lolherington's) residence, but unsuccessfully, therefore, he took the order to the post-office, ^ol the money, and having ascertained Mr. L's residence, begged to forward the amount to him. Another letter, bearing the same signature, was found oil the prisoner's person, dated London," on the same day. In this letter, the writer informed the prisoner, thai he had remitted the 2/. to Mr. Lotherington, and pretended to be a friend of that gentleman, and requesting the prisoner (o make his mind easy, as all was set to rights. On the part of the prosecution, it wis contended that this Robertson was a lictitious personage, and that the letters were, in fact, written by the prj. soner, for the purpose of evading suspicion. Indeed, several witnesses expressed their belief, that the letters were it, the prisoner's handwriting, although evidently disguised. It was also proved, that the prisoner was at Llandilo on the day on which the letter was dated. On bein^ taken into custody, he said, "Poh, I have he 21. to pav back, it's all nonsense." It should have been staled, that, notwithstanding the intimacy pretended by Robertson with Mr. Lotherington, that gentleman said, he never knew such a person, neither bad he signed the order, or ever authorized oil, person to do so for him. A great number ol con- versations which took place between the prisoner and other parties was given in evidence, which certainly exhibited great incon- sistency on his part. The whole case showed a wonderful mix- ture of low cunning, fraud, and simplicity. On behalf of the prisoner, it was contended that, although the order n)inht have been a forgery, there was no evidence that he had any guilty knowledge of the fact, but that it m ght have got into his pos- session innocently, as a forged 5/. note might be cashed by an innocent person. J. Lloyd Davies, Esq.and J. L. Price, Esq., countv magistrates, and several other parties gave prisoner a character for previous honest conduct in the discharge of his duties, as toll-collector. His Lordship having summed op the evidence in his usual luminous slvle, the jury retired and after an absence of twenty minutes, returned a verdict of Guiltv, with a recommendation to mercy, on account of character.—Sentence deferred. Mr. Peacock, solicitor to the General Post-ollice, attended on behalf of" the prosecution. Theophilus Thomas, 36, butcher, was arraigned upon an indict- ment charging him with having, on the ICtli of August, committed highway robbery and a violent assault ou David Davies, near Newcastle Einlvn. Mr. Chilton, Q. C., and Mr. V. Williams appeared for the pro. secution, and Mr. LloJd Hall and Mr. Richards defended the prisoner, Mr. Chilton addressed the jurv for the prosecution, observing that the prisoner was charged with the most serious offence known to the law, shoi t of a capital offence. The prosecutor was a small farmer, residing at a place called Cwmdumawr, and also filled, the office of assistant overseer, while tile prisoner carried on the business of a butcher and publican at Newcastle Emlvn. On the day in question the prosecutor had occasion to visit Newcastle on business, and called at the prisoner's house previous to leaving town "on the evening of that day. The Learned Counsel stated the whole of the circumstances, which will be found detailed in the subjoined evidence. David Davies, examined by Mr. V. Williams, said be resided at Cvvmduinawr. Was ussistant overseer of the parish ofPenboir. Remembered, on Ihe 16th of August, going to Newcastle Emlvn. Had business to transact there. He went to the Salutation I"'i, J where Petty Sessions are held. Remained there until four o'clock in the afternoon. Then went to collect parish money. Went to a few public-houses. After concluding business, he went on the road homewards. About six o'clock, a person named David Williams joined me. We had occasion to pass the Butcher's Arms in going home. Went into the house. Prisoner and his wife were al the door, and he saluted tliem. Oil being pressed by both, and prisoner laying hold of his collar, lie ultimately went into the house. It was nearly eight o'clock when they went in. They took some ate. Remained there for about a quarter of an hour, during which time a conversation took place about money, in the course of which witness said that lie had about him 12/. or 131.- Prisoner was then present. There was a m'tn dressed as a soldier present. Both lie and prisoner could hear what passed. Prisoner and thesotdier had left the house before him —the former through the back door, and the other through the front door. A miller, named David Evans, accompanied them part of the way. When witness and Williams arrived at a place situated about two miles from Newcastle, a mm darted out of the hedge, and struck him with a large bludgeon, which he held with two hands. He could positively swear that il was Theophilus Thomas. He (witness) was felled to the grouud. Recognized him before he was struck observed his dress believed he wore an oilcase hat and a dark coat. He received a second blow while oil the ground, which he tried to ward off. He .had some recollection of having endeavoured to turn to save his pockets. When he re- covered, he found that he was in David Williams's arms. His money was gone. He had six sovereigns, and the rest in silver- about thirteen pounds in all. He was taken to a farm-house, called Gellvgunnar. Cross-examined by Mr. Hall :-Drank no more than four half pints during lhe whole day. Saw four soldiers al the Black Lion. Gave them half a pint of beer. Saw them in custody on this charge. They might have observed mv purse when I paid for the beer. Afterwards heard that the name of the soldier I saw in prisoner's house was John Thomas. I could not recogniz* him afterwards. When prisoner struck me I had had sufficient time to recognize him. He advanced two steps in front of me, and then struck me. —[Mr. Hall then put in the deposition, with a view of proving (bat the witness's evidence varied from that adduced beforo the Magistrates. The deposiiion, however, appeared consistent, on the whole, with the evidence.] David Williams examined hv Mr. Chilton, sad-fillit on the day in question, he accompanied the prosecutor after going into the prisoner s house, a conversation took place between the pro- secutor and Evans about monev. The former said he had money about him. Witness corroborated the prosecutor's evidence re- lative to what took place in the prosecutor's house. On going to the spot already referred lo, witness was felled to the ground by a blow and stunned. 011 partly recovering himself, he saw a man in a red coat searching his pockets. Heard him cursing and swearing in English He ( witness) tried to stale in English that he had very little money, but that the man should have all hellld On recovering he observed the proseculor lying on tb. road, a* if dead—be was covered with blood. Witness took him to a farm* house mentioned in the prosecutor's evidence. Witness was cross examined by Mr. Hall at great length, but nolhing important was elicited. Samuel Jones remembered the night of the robbery, tbe pro- secutor and Williams coming to his house. The prosecutor was coveted wr h blood, and looked very much alarmed. Davies, the prosecutor, told witness who had abused him. Heard klie clock strike ten about a quarter of an hour after the parties came ill. They remained all night in the house. Knew prisoner, and had seen him dressed in a blue coat and oil-ca.e hat. Frances Williams remembered being near renlangunnar (the place the robbery was commuted) on the evening of the robbery. Saw there a man by the hedge within a few yards of the place where Davie, was robbed. He went over the hedge on Wi,ness coming towards him. Wore a blue coal and oil case hat did not then know his name. Next day she went to Newcastle, had a conversation with Rachel Williams. who informed her of the robbery. Jusi at tils time she saw a man clean.g out a stable. Asked Rachel who he was. He was the prisoner at the bar. Could swear he was the same man as she saw by the hedge on Ihe previous night. Cross-examined:—Mentioned this to my mother that night. Did say to the policeman, I knew nothing about it," because I was afraid to come, forward.. Ri'-bel Lewis corroborated the evidence relative lo the conver- sation rs-ferred to. m John Jones lives in Ihe parish ofPenboir Went on H,e morn- ing after Ihe robbery to the spot, and_saw blood on the road.

He would produce witnesses to p-ove that the prisoner was i„ custody lhe lime the girl Frances Williams deposed lo having seen him Ihe time of the conversation with Rachel Lewis He would also rati witnesses t» account for every moment of Iime from sj° to ten o'clock on the night of the robbery. He would also s|10w that the prosecutor was considerably under the influence of drink at tbe time. After hearing all the evidence he was convi:lced ,he jury would acquit file prisoner, and attribute the charge made against him to mistaken identity on the part of the prosecutor. A-great number of witnesses, manv of whom were the prisoner's relations, were called to prove the ahh, which, If their testi* wasto be believed, rendeied it impossible that the prisoner could have committed the act. Their evidence, however, presented a variety of contradictions in detail, and was in some instances completely broken up by Mf. Chilton's cross-examination. A witness was again called on the part of the prosecution to con- tradict the evidence of one of the prisoner's wi'nesses. Mr. L'oyd Hall addressed the jury upon this evidenoe, after which Mr. Chilton replied at length upon the whole case. Aboul fifteen witnesses were examined on behalf of the prisoner. I'lie case occupied from one 0 clock 10 nine in the evening His Lordship having summed up the evidence, the jury, after Ilalf "n hour's absence, returned a verdict of Guiliy. Sentence leferred. WP.ONF.STHY.-The business of the Court commenced this morninc at nine o'clock. David William Joshua, ivho had been convicted on the previous dav of having forged a post office order, was brought up for judgment, and sentenced to imprisonment, with hard labour, for i two earll A it SON. Benjamin Jones, *28, labourer, Samuel Thomas, 30, far- mer, and John Thomas, 28, shoemaker, were arraigned cipon an indictment. charging them with having, on the night or the 6'h of October, 1843, feloniously and maliciously set (ire to the dwelling- I'Onse of the I tie Thomas Tho-ins. of Pantvcerrig. in tbe parish of (,lanfihan;el. Rhos. y. Corn. tt)nth<.rcoNnt..)hftWt-ren))<rt:en with selling fire lo » cow house adjoining ihe dwelling house, &c.; mothers, with setting lire to lhe dwelling-house persons «"'?,! \en'"l^7,i'e VJ"U-, Tl,is was a Government prosecution. Mr. Chilton, Q.(. Mr. Linns, Q.< and Mr. V Williams «p- peared for the Crown Mr. Carne, Mr. Hall, and Mr Richards defended the prisoners separately. Mr. Chilton addiessed ihe jurv on the part of the prosecntion. He observed, that this was a charge arising out of Ihe late Rebecca disturbances. The prisoners at lhe bar were indicted for the lIIosl serious offence known to the law, with the e*oepiion of IIIlIrder, IUIII one which, even in the present slate of .lie law. rendered them liable to the forfeiture of their lives, provided thev were convicted on the last count —charging I hem with hav- ing nred Ihe house, persons being in it at the time. He men- tioiie«t litis, for the inn post of slmwing the jurv that it was a ca»e i of.such vital importance lo I lie prisoners al the bar, as to demand their most serious consideration and attention. From his expe- rienceof tt.f juries or the county of Carmarthen, he could say that he never found them shrink from their duties, and if anv caution were at all necessary, i was for the purpose of placing I hem on their £ uard A £ >unst allowing their minds to be prejudiced, in consequence of any reports that might have reached their ellrM respecting any of ihe prisoners. Wilh rexpect lo that portion of ibe indictment which placed the lives of the prisoners in danger, he (M r. Chilton) and his learned friends hsd determined npon not shrinking from the duties allotted to them for, lie thought it important and neceullry. thai lawless and reckless persons should know, that when they set fiie to houses, bv which they p"t in danger the tites of the persons living therein, that their own ))*<< would thereby be pinned in danger; but, if his Lard- ship would be of opinion lhal circumstances were such that the capita charge in the indictment could not be sustained, of course they would discharge that portion altogether from their minds. The circn.ns'ances of the case were Ibese :—On the 6'h of October Ihe house of lhe prosecutor was burnt down, and that it could not he the result of accident was quite ftidettt. It ap- peared that the cowhouse formed part of the house, being «epa- rated therefrom bj a wattled partition. Over tbe cowhouse was j a loft, on which were two room, a bedroom and a dairy, In th former of which a servant named Margaret Bowen, and a little girl of the name of Catherine Jones, slept. Between the room and the dairy there was an old wattled partition, full of boles, through which any per-on in the bedroom would be enabled to see any parties in the loft, into which was an entrance from the yard. When crimes of the atrocious nature of that with which the prisoners were charged bad been committed, it was natural and necessary to endeavour to find out the motives which might have induced the commission of the crime. For this purpose, it would be necessary to state that, on the 30th of September, an attack was made upon Pantcerrig, by a party of Rebeoeaites, when on the morning of the 6th of October, Mr. Thomas, who was since found dead, and whose death is stit) a mystery, visited Carmarthen, and gave evidence before the Magistrates against two parties, which resulted in their committal for trial li was also proved, that on the return of Mr. Thomas from Carmarthen, a Witness named James met one of the prisoners neqr Brechfa, when he requested the witness lo endeavour to meet Thomas, and ask him what had become of the E.anses (the parties com- mitted). They added that they had blacked theinselies, with the intention of intercepting him, hut that they arrived too late, he ha ving passed previous to their coming up. Thix witness subsequently walked part of the road with Mr. Thomas, and cautioned him with respect to what he had heard and seen. On the same dav Ihe prisoner, Benj. Jones, borrowed a gun from a person named Davies, for the purpose, as he alleged, of killing rabbits, and he promised to return it that evening. The lender, however, did not receive his gun back for two months—Jones having absconded. At the time he borrowed it, he was accom- panied bv his brother, who also had a gun in his possession. On the arrival home of the old man, Mr Thomas, at eleven o'clock, be intimated his desire of sleeping out of the house that night, in consequence of information communicated to him. He accordingly went out, and about twelve o'clock the wife retired to bed, in a room called the parlour; Margaret Bowen, the servant, and the little girl Catherine, having previously retiled to the bed in the room adjoining the loft over the cowhouse. However, Margaret Bowen having gone to bed in a statt of greal alarm, conld not sleep and in the course of two lioiirs after having retired, she heard a noise al the back of the house, and on raising herself in a sitting posture in bed, she was enabled, through the holes in the partition, distinctly to see Benj. Jones in file next room, having a (Tun in his hand she next saw SaTnuel Thomas, and next John Thomas, the latter of whom aiso had a gun. These persons she distinctlv saw, and knowing them well before, she was enabled positively to swear to them. They were but sli'hllv disguised, merely having turned their coals inside out. She also beard Benjamin Jones, whose voice was well acquainted with, sav, 11 I will do very well with the old devil." She saw a fourth party, but could not positively swear to his identity. She immediate) v went down stairs, passed through the kitchen, in which a labourer named David Davies slept, and into the room in which her mistress slept. To her she immedi- ately communicated what she had seen, and that she had recog- nised some persons, but she did not then name thein. Her mis- tress requested her to lav in bed with her, hut she had hardly remained there ten or fifteen minutes, before they heard the noise of firing, soon after which the smell 01 smoke was perceived. 011 returning to the loft, she found all in flames she endeavoured to get part of her clothes, and went down stairs. She afterwards returned, and found the bed. encircled 4y fire, which was fast gaining on the whole roof. She immediately aroused the little girl, who was fast asleep, and carried her down stairs, without having time to save any of the clothes. The servants, some of whom slept in the outhouses, were aroused, but the house was completely burnt to the ground. II appeared that the witnesses had giveu information to a magistrate at the lime, but owing to Benjamin Jones's absence, it Will thought discreet not to agitate the matter as against lhe Thomases, until Jones, supposed to have been the chief incendiarv, had been apprehended. Mrs. Thomas, the prosecutrix, was examined, and spoke to the various circumstances coining to her knowledge detailed in • he above statement. She was cross-examined at considerable length by the respective Counsel for the prisoner! relative to the knowledge they had of rewards having been offered on the con- viction ol some of Ihe prisoners. She said she expected, during her husband's lifetime, to receive compensation from tlie hundred, but never expected a reward indeed, had not heard of the Go- vernment rewards for some time after they had laid information against the prisoners. J Margaret Bowen, the witness who swote to the identity of the prisoners, as being the parlies tvho were at tbe house on tile night in question, was then examined. She said that there were large holes in lhe roof, part of which had been blown oft' bv the wind, and that through these holes the moon cast a light, which enabled her disliricti, to see them through the holes in the partition. She positiyely identified all the three prisoners as having been there- knewthe fourth person, but could not speak positively as to him. She was cross-examined at great length by the Counsel for the prisoners respectively, as to whether she "anticipated receiving any reward, and as to her having made statements to certain parties to the effect that she saw 110 one about the t'ouse on the night in question. Alter her, witnesses named James, Jones, Davies, &c., were examined to corroborate portions of the evi- denee, but the charge against the prisoners rested almost ex- clusively on her testimony. Mr. Carne then addressed the jury on behalf ostensibly nf ten Benjamin Jones, but in reality of all the prisoners, as the same evidence affected the whole. He contended that if he could per. sonde the jury that the witness Margaret Bowens's evidence could not be relied npon, either through iiiHccamcv or want of veracity, then there was nothing to show that the prisoners were guilty of the serious crime laid to their charge, and on which, if found guilty, they would be subject to the forfeiture of their li-es, or a lengthened period of transportation from friends and kindred and country. He then proceeded to contend, that the tact of Benjamin Jones being rie-r Pantcerrig on the night in question amounted to nolhing, as he resided at his father's house, which was in the neighbourhood. He then noticed the discrepancies arising in the evidence of Mrs. Thomas and the girl Margaret Bowen, the former having stated that th# gM naiU«d the prisoners ) to her on the next day, while the girl bersell' said thai she had not informed her mistress until lhe second week. Was it not probable she had given information when the proclamation offer- ing rewards was made? Was it probable she conld have seen thein as described ? Eren some of the witnesses for the prose- cution had said that they had observed no holes in \he roof. If that was so. how could she hire recognized the prisoners. He would call witnesses to prove that Margaret Bowen must have perjured herself, with respect to 50'.e portions of the evidence. She denied having made certain statements to persons whom he would call, tc, prove that she had made those statements which she so denied. He would likewise call witnesses to prove an alibi. Mr. Carne then commented at length on tbe evidence for the prosecution.. Mr. Hail next addressed the jury on heh iJf oP the prisoner Samuel Thomas. He contended that the circumstances of the case were such that tne witness Margaret Bowen could not have seen anv persons iu the loft on lhe night in question. Mr. Richards then addressed ihe jury ou behalf of John Thomss, and followed the same strain. He d'id not doubt but that some wicked and evil designing persons perpetrated a most atrocious j outrage on the night in quostion, but be would be able satisfac- torilv to prove that his clien) and the two other prisoners were not the parties who had committed the outrage. Several wituesscs were then called to prove the allegations made o.i behalf of the prisoners Daniel Davies swore that Mnrgaret Bowen, the principal wit- ness for the prosecution, told him that her mistress had piomised her 51. if she would fix upon some of the persons who burnt the bouse——that she also told her she should have scores of pounds from Government,—that she admiltec she had seen no irerson about the house that night. The witness had positively denied having made ose of such statements. It appeared on cross- examination that this witness had bad law-suit with the late Mr Thosnss Thomas. Another witness, named Jaae Davies, Mia called f ir the pGr. pose of giving evidence to the same efTeot. On oross-exsmina- tion she admitted having harboured the prisoner Benjamin Jones, when the police were in pursuit of bim. Daniel Jones, prisoner's brother, was called to prove an alibi. Other witnesses were called to prove that there was no opening or gap in the pine-end or roof of the boase, as tbey had been filled up witlh firs. Oae went to the extent of swearing that there was no gap in the partition lo which Margaret Bowen re- ferred and consequently ^e could not have seen the prisoners. John Thomas's mother was called to prove an alibi on his behalf. Jonatlun Walters, butcher, was called to corroborate the evi- dence. He said that he went to Carmarthen wilh a load from fit,- country every week, and that he frequently called at the house of John Thomas's mother, for the purpose of ascertaining if she required anything from Carmarthen; and that lie catted there at two o'clock in the morning after the night in question, when the prisoner got out of bed, and gave him 5s. 2d to purchase some barlev. [Certainly the alibi set up On behalf of John Thomas appeared better sustained than the other!!]. A host of witnesses to character were then examined, after ^IWr.'Cbilton replied on behalf of the Crown, io a very able and temperate address. His Lordship, in summing up, told the jor., that the charge against the prisoners principally depended upon the testimony of Margaret Bowen, although she was corroborated income portions of her storv bv other witnesses. II her evidence did not deserve credit, either on account of inaccuracy, or because the was not the witness of truth, the charge as against the prisoner, necessa- rily fell to the ground. The j'lry midit arrive it the conclusion that this witness, though intending to tell the Until, had mistaken Ihe identity of one or more of the prisoners, but had recogoised the others. In lhat case thev would acquit one or more of ihem, and convict the others; bat if she was wrong in speaking to the identity of any one of them, that would have the effect consider- ably of weakening ber testimony respecting the others, as she spoke equally positive to the identity of all three. His Lordship then recapitulated the whole of the evidenoe, commenting upon and elucidating it as he proceeded. The jury retired, and after a short absence returned a verdict of Not Guiltv" as regards the three prisoner-. The trial lasted the whole day.—The Court then rose. There are several other indictments against Benj. Jones. THURSDAY.—This morning the business of the Court com- menced soon after nine o'clock. MIIRIIKR —Evan Lloyd, a boy, marked in the calendar as nine years of age, was arraigned upon an indictment, charging him with itie wilful murder of Daniel Jones, a boy of three years o'd, a, the parish of Llaiifihangel-ar-arlh on the 13ih of Septe in bet The prisoner, who certainly appeared a IIIO<t determined little fellow, sobbed a little as he was placed at the bar. It was slated that, although marked in the calendar as nine years old, he was in reality some vears older, and although of small stature, he i certainly appeared lo be more than nine. Ibe Solicitor for the defence showed us bible, in which an entry was made that Ihe child was bom September, 1836. If so, he could not be b t little more lhan'eight at the time of the committal of the ofience. Mr. Chilton Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Nicholl Carne), ad dressed ihe jurv for the prosecution The prisoner at the bar, Rllhough so young was indicted for the mosl serious offence known io the law and certainly it was a esse, such as he. during his long experience never had the misfortune of meeting with its parallel. There «ere some facts in the case bevor.d all dis- pute others were not quite so clear. There would not be the slightest donlal hot that the deceased child had died from injuries received, bul the jury would first have to inquire, whether those injuries were inflicted bv lhe prisoner, and next, whether his understanding *as sufficiently matured to distinguish between good and ev?| whether he li«d possessed sufficient reason to harbour malice, and be guilty of a felonious intent. A child he tween seven and fourteen could not be considered us having a guilty knowledge, unless such fai-ts were adduced before a jury- as would prove that he did possess a guilty knowledge. The evidence against the prisoner consisted principally in df. tarationit made by himself; bul he would not repeal those statements until his Lordship had decided whether thev were made under eir. cumstances which would entitle them to he admitted as evidence. There were also certain declarations made bv deceased infaM previous to death, but he would not repeat them. as he believed thev could not he received in evidence. Mr. Chilton then de- tailed the circumstances or the case, which will be found ill the subjoined evidence. John Jones, the father of the deceased child, was examined, and said, thai his cnild.an infant of nearly four years old, died on the 14th of Septentber. At one o'clock on the previous day, lie III» hi in playing with tbe prisoner near a hedge. At seven o'clock in the evening of lhat day he was brought into the house all covered with blood. Hannah Davies examined, itaid that. hearing that the deceased child Wa. missing, the went to search for him between four and five on the evening of the 13ih. She saw the prisoner in Paul yfro field and at Ihe olht r end of the next field she found the deceased. She as^ked the prisoner if he had seen the deceased. He said yea." Witnes asked "where. Prisoner said that he was playing with him a little before dinner, and that be bad sent bim co home—and that he had gone frottt him to ait by the aide of ] father's boose. Witness went on searching, and and a woman, named Lvdia Davies, found tbe child in ber presence in the field next to that in which the prisoner was. A field divided the two fields. The child was all overcovered with hlood. It was dried and clotted blood-sollie of it, however, being iheo running, es- pecially from the back or the head. He was surrounded by white stones, many of which were from a pound and a half to IvvKJjpounds in weight. Many of tliem were stained with blood. Lydia Davies carried him hotne to his mother. Mr. V. W iiliams, who defended the prisoner, cross-examined the witness, but nothing important was elicited. Sarah Thomas examined, and said :—She met the prisoner at the bar at half past six on the 13th, corning out of the field in which the deceased was found. He was coming out over the stones filling the gap. She asked him if he had seen the missing chillI ? He" answered, "No, I have not seen him." Hannah Davies next day showed me the spot where the child was found. That spot was near the place where the prisoner came out of the field. He could not come out without seeiug The spot where the child was. Cross-examined :—I showed Wm. Williams the spot where I stood, and where the prisoner stood, Mr. Chit on here intimated to his Lordship that be would not press the case, if he (the Learned Jtjd-,e) thought that the decla- rations made bv the prisoner could not be received in evidence. It appeared that. after the child had been taken into custody, be had made certain confessions, the policeman having toid hini, Yon had better tell iiie tlfb whole truth." His Lordship said, that if the prosecution could not adduce further evidence, he thought it better to stop the case. The Learned Judge then brienv addressed the jury, and after reca- pitulating the remarks he made to the Grand Jury, si\id th-it, although there might be no moral doubt as to the state of things yet there was no legal evidence to convict 811 adult much less than a child; it would therefore be their dnty to aequit the prisoner. Verdict, Not Guilty." CUTTING AND MAIMING. Benjamin Jones (one of the three persons acquitted yesleiday of the charge on arson) was now arraigned upon an indictment, charging him in various counts with assaulting Margaret Bowen, the principal witness in lhe case yesterday, with intent to murder her—to maim or disable- to disng!)re—or do grievous bodily harm. Mr. Chilton, Q.C., Mr Evans, Q.C.. ond Mr. V. Williams appeared for the Crown Mr. N. Carne defended the prisoner. Mr. Chilton addressed the jury for the prosecution. He was sure that the serious nature of the charge against the prisoner would he such as would command their most deliberate con- sideration, because in one of the counts he was charged with one of the gravest offences known-an intent to murder. He was sure that the jury would not allow themselves to be prejudiced by the verdict or yesterday as he found no fault wi'h that verdict, which might have been returned without casting the slightest imputation on the veracity of the witness. Indeed, he (Mr. C.) had given particular directions that none of thejnry of yesterday should be challenged on behalf of the Cro«n. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to lay down the role of law by which the jury were 10 judge of the intent of doing an.v act. It appeared that the prosecutrix was a servant in the employ of the late Mr. Thomas Thomas. Pantcerrig. whose house was attacked by Rebeccaites on the night of the 30th of September, 1813, burnt to the ground on the6lb of October, and in a few weeks afterwards he (Mr T.) was fQund dead under very mysleriouscircumstances. Mr Chilton then detailed (he circumstances of the case. which will be found in the subjoined evidence. The prisoner bad absconded from the neighbourhood soon afterwards, which ac- counted for the circumstance of the charge not having been brought forward earlier. Nevertheless, he did not wish that to operate to the prejudice of the prisoner, as it was probable he did not abscond on account of this charge only. Margaret Bowen was then examined, and said, that some time after the attacks on her master's house, and after she had said that she saw the prisoner, her master was found dead in a brook this was three days before the last Winter Assizes. Some days after the body was found, there was a sale at Bergwm The body was found near Glynllvdau, where prisoner resided. On r the evening of tbe day of Bergwm sale, she (witness) went out to gather wood. She observed the prisoner lying on the other side of a hedge. She asked him what he did there, and he asked her where old Thomas, of Tynvfofh (" farm in lhe neighbour- I liood), w,,s?-, She answered, "what do you want with him, do you wish to serve him III the s»me way as you did my ad e, master." He said, Oh, damn you, you old jade, I ant not sorry for anything I have done to your old master, unless ii j* t>imt I lii,e done I I did not kill him sooner." He then laid bold of her, placed his hand upon her mouth, which prevented her criyng out, took a knire from his pocket and drew it several limes across ber throat, threatening to kill her. He then struck her on the nose until she fell insensible to tbe ground She soon became better, and re- turned to the temporary house in the yard. Ongoing in she found there were several wounds in her neck immediately communicated with her mistress, who lied oil the wounds. She subsequently became subject to fits. She went before Mr. Price, the magistrate, iu three weeks. — Witness was searching) < cross- examined by Mr. N. Carne on behalfoflhe prisoner. [The jury here examined the witness's neck, and found in it the mark of three wounds, and one on the chin.l -wear I did i,t innke them in y self. Will swear I ne» er told David James that a bramble in the hedge caused the wounds. Mrs. Mary Thomas remembered the last witness coming into tbe house on the evening in question. She corroborated tbe evi- deuce in every particular, and was oross-examined al great length by Mr. Carne. John Rowland*, mlln nrrant in the house, gave evidence to the same effect. Mr. N. Carne then add/essed thejury, on behalf of the prisoner, contending that the principal witness for the prosecution must have perjured herself, as it would be proved she had made stale- menls to witnes-ies quite at variance with the testimony adduced in Court on that day David James, a witness, was then called to swear that Mar- garet Bowen had told lliyn ill "t her mistress bad bribed her to make the chiir^e against the prisoner. Jane Davies, another witness, gave evidence to the same effect. This witness admitted having harboured B. Jones in her house when the police were after him. She likewise prevaricated con- siderably in her evidence. Se veral witnesses, some of whom were of respectable appear- ance, were then called io prove an alibi on hehali of the prisoner; after which, Mr. Chilton replied on behalf of the drown, in a lengthened speech, contending that ibe witnesses for the defence must either have been deceived by the prisoner, or committed wilful perjury. The learned Judge ihen csrefullv and minutely sommj-d op the whole of the evidence after which the jury retired and, after a short absence, found the prisoner Guilty on tbe capital charge. — Sentence deferred. Another bill was preferred before the Grand Jury in the course of the day against the prisoner, who was tried in the evening -Se before Mr. Strgeant Jones, and found Guilty.—Seo.arnce deferred There are other indictments against Benjamin Jones, but having been convicted of the capital charge it is supposed they wi" be proceeded wilh. 1 Y Lewis Uiois, Esau Evan*, Thomas Lewis and Henry Evans were arraigned upon an indictment, cbarginr them with having, in September last, bnrglariousiy e„|ered ,he dwrlling-hou* of John Davies, of Cadegyrav.s, Bn(i gtfaen ,herefroin one watob.

THE PROPOSED WELSft MTPtAKP RAIlWAt To the EDfTOR of The CAMBRIAS'. SrR,-In common with many of yonr numei ons readers, I have read wilh peculiar interest the Iluee able articles on a rail- way scheme, bj which it is proposed to connect Swaiisfa with Hereford, Worcester, and Kidderminster. It is universally ac- knowledged, flint the prosperity of a country great! v depends on its means of internal communication, an't to facilitate this impor- tant object, nothing is so con" ui-ive as the establishment ot rail- ways. Whilst it is admilteil liiat such mt;atJS of transit are advantageous to the public, even when made parallel to the coast, or bv the sides of natigable risers, where a quick and ci;eap mode of conveyance by steam-boats already exists vet ti;e Dene- fits resulting Irom railvyays traversing INLAND are inealcniabiV greater, and are more orgently ieqn,.td. 1' appears to ;¡e Sf) self-evident, that it only requires to be noticed, to obtain general acquiescence. The line proposed by YTr. Budd. therefore, come* before the public wllh the strongest possible claims for neneral support, The landowner, merchant, manufacturer, shipowner, and. indeed, the public, ^enera'iyof the Pri'i-ipa itv, are bene- ficially inten sled in its success, and il is I., -e i.oped lhat thev will cheerfully volunteer their assistance to achieve it. f am, sir, t ours inii v, Neatlij lbth \l&rcu, 184*J.
