But it is in this court the greatest number of pri- ??Prs, charged with criminal offences, wer^ nied, and ??ecouid have been imparted to his lordship another 1notive for congratulation, namely, that by far the yje'!|ter number of those who have been convicted of the UKest -I: ? ?; iof crimes, tried here, have not been ? ?

But 1 will suppose, what never entered the imagi- llution of such leaders, that their real object is, equality of Property, and equality of conditions. The population ?f Great Britain is about 2o5 upon each square mile of Its area, including mountains, roads, rivers, and bogs.

It only exists in the 4èf!Ual protection which is affoided by the laws of our own free and happy country. Remind them that Sampson pas a very strong man, but he was blind and very sense- fss 5 that he put forth his giant strength to overthrow the Philistine lords, but then happened what was inevi- table, what his blind rage had prevented him from fore Seeing-he perished in the ruins." -L he Grand Jury retired, and in a short time returned 4 true bill against John Cole, tailor, charged with having on the nig^ht of he 24th of March last, at the parish of liegeily, felon- iously stolen, taken, and carried away, a quantity of coal of the value of three pence, the property of Messrs. Alorgan Iiughcs and Company. It appeared that Lewis Ormond, a watchman in the ?iiploy of the proprietors of Thomas' Chapel Colliery, 111 the parish of Begelly, saw the prisoner at the bar Oil the night of the 24th of March last, about 9 o'clock 111 the evening, tying a bag at the engine coal heap near the Hacket Pit. After he had tied the bag he jttoved off about three yards. Ormond then asked hilli where he was going, and he said "Let me go." Ormond took the bag from his shoulder and attempted to take it to the engine-house, but the prisoner took hold of him by the neck, threw him down, and put his knee I "Pf)n his stomach. He then ran to the engine-house, 4nd said to the man there, "I am caught." The bag broke lose during the struggle, and about half of its con- tents fell out. The coal in the bag was small and similar to the coal used for engines. Ormond afterwards took the bag to the engine-house, kept it there all night, and gave it to Mr. Phelps, the foreman, in the morning. it Weiglied about 56iLs. and is worth about three pence. It further appeared that prisoner went to the prosecu- to r, Nlr. Morgan Hughes, on the 25111 of March last. lie said he had been caught taking some coal from the Etlgille heap, and asked forgiveness. AIr. Jaiiie-, addressed the jury for the defence, Mr IOYd having appeared for the prosecution. The jury retired for about half all hour, and returned verdict of-Guilty. Sentence—One month to nard labour. blizaoeth James, widow, was charged with having, on the 16th of March, at the parish of Langum, feloniously oe. len a quantity of culm, of the value of one half-penny, the property of J. H. Powell and Company. Veldict- -i, ?■ Sentence—Two days imprisonment. t,.e b\}t>i.i;c-'ss GLOUCESTERSHIRE SPRING v. Davies.—This was an action brought by M- Wil- liams, of Narberth, in the county of Pembroke, di-«:K'r, against W. H. Davies, of Tygwyn, near Cardigan, irjsq., to recover E183 and interest, due upon two joint and several promissory notes of hand of defendant and other parties in favour of plaintiff. Defendant abandoned his pleas, and suffered judgment to pass against him for the fiill aiiii)unt set f'or,li in the d(-claration.-Attoi-tiev for plaintiff, W. Herbert Owen, Esq, Narberth; attorney for defendant, R. D. Jenkins, Esq Cardigan. HAVERFORDWEST.—Oil Saturday last, a lad named Henry Phillips, was brought before Win. Walters, Esq., mayor, charged with having on the 31st ult., stolen from a hen-roost,three fowls the property of James Caulfield, residing in Ilother lane, Haverfordwest, and which were afterwards Sold by the prisoner to a dealer in poultry in the market. He was committed to take his trial at the next Quarter Sessions (held this day). STEEPLE CHASE MATCH.—On Wednesday last, a match for .50 Sovs. aside, came off between Mr. Canton's Caliph," ridden by Mr. T. Davies, and Mr. R. Phil- lip's Squire Ugly," ridden by Mr. J. Crymes. The ground was the same as that crosspd at the late Pem- brokeshire Steeple Chase, being a distance of 4 miles. The weather was delightful, old Sol shone forth with great brilliancy, and a lare number of the sporting community were eager spectators of the contest, as. to the result of which there was much speculation, but the Squire was the favourite, the odds being 8 to 4 in his fv- our. The gallant animals being started, both took the first fence in beautiful style, the Squire being a little in advance, and in this order they continued their course at a godd pace, topping their fences in an admirable man- ner, and displaying the excellent generalship of their ridpr. whell in clearing the fence crossing into Bolton hill road, 3 fields from home, the Squire fell, spilling his rider, who lost a short time in remounting, leaving the Caliph to come in an easy winner. The general opinion was however that if the Squire had not met with this mishap, he would have been secure of the race. PEMBROKE DOCK YARD. — The officers and non- commissioned officers of the Royal Dock Yard bittalion, commenced their summer drill this week. Mr. Laws, the storekeeper of the dock yard, has been allowed to resign his commission of major in the corps, and Lieut. Weatherly, the director of police, has succeeded to the majority. The battalion is in an efficient state, and must soon become a force of considerable importance in tit, protection of the arsenal. Its principle attention is in future to be diiected to the practice of the great guns and field pieces, for which purpose the artillery force of the brigade his been augmented. Nothing is spared to make the battalion a most effective force. A party of marines, consisting of a serjeant, a corporal, and four privates, has been ordered to sea in each of the post "ffice nnil steam packets on the station,in consequence of the disturbed state of Waterford and some threats to stop the mail. The gallan t superintendent of the dock yard, Capt. Falcon, is in daily expectation of his flag, which will cause a vacancy in that important situation. Capts. Ross and Breechey are each spoken of as likeiy to be his successor.

CARDIGANSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. The Easter Quarter Sessions for the County of Car- digan, were held at the County Sessions Hall, in the town of Aberayron, on Tuesday last. The assemblage of magistrates was one of the most numerous that we ever remember to have seen on the Bench for this County, but the amount of business was very small. There was not a single prisoner for trial and only one appeal case. John Lloyd Davies, Esq., presided in the absence of the Chairman. There were also present Major Lewis, Captain Lewis, Lanlear, Captain Pi iehard, Tylhvyd, R. O. Powell, Nanteos, F. D. Saunders, Tv- mawr, J. R. L. Lloyd, Dolhaidd, J. Boultboe, Llanina, C. R. Longcroft, John Hughes, Alltlhvyd, A. L. T. J. Gwynne, Monachty, G. B. J. Jordan, Pigeonsford, G W. Parry, Noyadd, J. B. LI. Philipps, Mabws, M. D. Williams, Matthew Davies, Tativbwlch, J. M. Davies, Penpompren, T. D. Lloyd. Bronwydd, n. G. Thomas, Llysnewydd, C. A. Biigstocke, Biaenpant, T. It. Lloyd, Coedmore, J. M. Davies, Antaran Cottage, C. Powell, Nanteos, W. D. Jones, Llancych. J. Bowen, Troedyraur, W. H. Lewis, Clynfiew, R. Williams, M.D., Ahervst- with, W. Jones, Faicondale, T. O. Morgan, D. Davies, Cardigan, Esqrs. Revds. Llewellyn Llewellyn, D.C. L., Augustus Brigstocke, E. H. Browne, W. North, and Lewis Charles Davies. The following Gentlemen were sworn on the Grand Jtxry:-Williain Da,ies, Trelane, foreman, Jonathan Da\ies, Tanycoed, John Jones, Lanlasissa Cellan, Da.id Gi iffiths, Llanfairclydoge, John Walters, Liatifair, David Thomas, Llanfair-facli, David Evans, Llanfihangel-ystrad, Rees Jenkins, Velindre, John Evans, Gogoiau Mill,' Richard James, Aberystuitli, John Hackleton, Aber- ystwith, Moriis Jones, Penpompren Cellan, John Jones, Lianiviieii, E-qnires. The learned Chairman addressed the Grand Jury very briefly, observing that he was happy to say that their at- tendance was merely nominal, but it was necessary toe.tll them together, and as it was possible that something might yet come in to he presented before them they would have the goodness to wait for half an hour. The Grand and Petit Juries were shortly afterwards dis- charged. The following appeal case was heard St. Dogmells, Appellants, and Llanl'wchairn, Res- pondents.—This was an appeal against an order of F. D. Saunders and A. L Gwynne, Eqrs" for the removal of Eleanor Lloyd, widow, and her two children. Mr. William George and Mr. Smith, were for the Appellants, and Mr. Atwood and Mr. James Parry, for the Respondents. The n."sjJon4e;¡tó\ rl>l:¡>d upon a former order of John Hughes and John William Lewis, Esqrs., which was executed and unappealed from. Iu the examinations, the first original was made an exhibit, but the copy of such order sent, with the examinations to the Appellant parish, instead of purporting to be signed by John Hughes and John" illialU Lewis, (like the original), bore the signatures of John Hughes and Charles Richard Longcroft, and one of the grounds of appeal was, that no copy of the said order as referred to in the examina- tions under the hands and seals of John Hughes and John William Lewis, was sent to the Appellants. The original order itself, however, was correct, and in the body of the copy sent, the names of the magistrates were correct ly given. After argument, the learned chairman said The examinations refer to the original order, the order itself is valid, but the intimation of it given to the Appellants is wrong, it is a clerical error, I have taken the opinion of the bench, and the court is of opinion that it is not a fatal variance." It was proved by James James, the assistant over- spk-r of the respondent parish, that he took the pauper and children to the appellant parish, that he delivered them to the overseer, that he came away and left them there, and did not see the pauper again until about a week afterwards. Held to be evidence of a sufficient break in the pauper's resilience so as to prevent its being a five years continuous residence under the late act. Under a ground of appeal stating that the examina- tions omitted to shew that there had not been a fi\e years continuous residence in the respondent parish, the question was, on which side the opus of proof lay. The Ch.tinn.in :—It. is only necessary for the re- moving parish to make the averment negativing the five vears residence, and the respondents having thrown down the gauntlet to jou (the appellants), it is for you to prove the residence. After discussiug some further objections of minor in- terest, the order was confirmed with costs. I ARERYSTWITH CUUNTY HAM,. Notice having been given that the Court would be moved to alter a former order, whereby ESOO was granted towards the erection of a county hall, at Aber- ystwith, so that the said hall might be used partly as a town hall, and partly as a county hall and it being whispered that the intended motion had something to do with the sti-otiv ilitiste" of magistrates on the beilvik, a very interesting discussion was therefore expected, but to the disappointment of such expectants, the mo- tion was not brought forward. It was suggested by the Chairman (who had eloquently advocated the interest oi the town and corporatioll of Aberystwith in the matter on a former occasion) that the best plan for the corpo- ration would'be, first, to build the hall, after which he intimated they would be entitled to what they were now seeking, as a matter of right under the act 1 Vict. c. 24. LLANON WOODEN BKIHGE. I J. B. Lloyd Philipps, Esq., moved that on the com- pletion of the stone bridge over the Clydau at Llanon, the wooden bridge now at that place should be moved and re-erected over the Wyrtfach at Henfelin. After some objections made by George Williams Parry, Esq., as to the expense, and particularly as to its being made a county bridge, and a suggestion from the Chairman to obviate that difficulty, it was understood that the motion was to be considered as agreed to, the Clerk of the Peace to prepare the order by the next Quarter Sessions, when it is to be carried into effect. LLECHRYI) BRIDGE. The report of Mr. Morris, bridge surveyor, having been read, as to the repairs and alterations required for this bridge, the Chairman explained the plan which had been adopted for the Carmarthen bridges, and which he said had been found to be very economical and to answer the purpose extremely well, as he thought it would do if adopted in this case, and on his sllgpstion a committee was appointed (consisting of C. A. Brig- stocke, Esq., T. D. Lloyd, Esq., Bronwydd, G. B J. Jordan, Esq., Griffiths, E>q Llwyndyrus, Doctor Jones, Rev. Augustus Brigstocke, and James Bowen, Esq.), to consider the best course to be adopted, with power to call in a surveyor, and to carry the plan ap- proved of into effect, at an expense not exceediug £ 150. CARDIGAN BRIDGE. The report of Mr. Morris was read, and a committee named, with powers to call in a surveyor to ma ke a proper specification, and to give out the contract ac- cording to such specification. The outlay not to exceed the smn of £ 110. T. R. L Lloyd, Esq., Dolhaidd, gave notice that he would at the next Quarter Sessions, move that the ap- proaches to county bridges be for the future let out to I be kept in repair by contract. BRIDGE SURVEYOR. I Major Lewis proposed Mr. Richard Penson as a fit and proper person to be appointed bridge surveyor, in the room of John Hughes, gentleman, deceased, and read It letter received by him from Williams Wynne, Esq., stronsly recommending Mr. Penson. M. I). VViliiaras, E«q., seconded the motion.and read If:.ç¡r f,' r.o"'r"U!I. £_ ,r r. who stated that he had known Mr. Penson's father for 20 years, as an eminent architect and surveyor, that i Mr. Penson had been brought up in his father's oifice, and that by a;* jjointing him, he really believed they would do the county a service. No other candidate having been proposed, Mr. Penson was unanimously appointed. Major Lewis said that instead of allowing mileage, it would be more satisfactory to the person appointed and to the county to allow him a specific sum but a sug- gestion was afterwards made, to which the Major ac- ceded, that perhaps they would he inflicting an injury upon the county or upon the surveyor, if they should now fix the salary before the extent of the surveyor's duty was ascertained, and four months was mentioned as a fair allowance of time for that purpose, after which the salary iiii,ht be fi-ied. The surveyor stands for the present precisely in the position of the late Mr. Hughes, as to duties and salary. LLAN DDEWY-ABERARTH BRIDGE. I John Hughes, lisquue. begged to call attention to the circumstance that some land which was wanted at %v.,itile d at the foot of the Llanddewi Bridge, the property of Capt. Davies, of Tyglyn, had not yet been purchased,which prevented the bridge contractors from proceeding with their work. He thought it important that this should be immediately looked to, as the favourable weather was precious and might soon pass away. Mr. Wigley having been referred to, stated that Capt. Davies valued the land, coloured pink in a plan which he produced, including a cottage thereon, at £100. J. B. Lloyd Philipps, Esq., thought £80 sufficient for the land and cottage, and wished to know if the EIOO c(iiild be legally given without calling a jury to assess the value. The Chairman said there would be some difficulty if Captain Davies was only tenant for life, as the money must be invested according to the provisions of the Act of Parliament, and the interest paid to the tenant for life. Mr. James Parry, as Solicitor for Captain Davies, stated that, though not instructed to enter into any definite arrangement, yet he thought that Capt. Davies would have no objection by himself or agent to commu- nicate with the Clerk of the Peace as to the title, and to treat with the bridge committee as to the amount of purchase money. The Chairman observed that of course there could be no objection to that on the part of the County. The matter was then left in the hands of the bridge committee. THE CASE OF MANSLAUGHTER AT THE LAST ASSIZES A letter from Mr. Thomas Lloyd, Superintendent Constable, Pembrokeshire, was read, praying to be reimbursed certain expenses amounting to f2 10s. paid by him out of pocket in getting up the above case, when the magistrates present conceiving they had no power to remunerate him out of the funds of this County for duties performed in Pembrokeshire, made a subscrip- tion on the Bench, Capt. Freeman acting as collector. PAUPER LUNATIC ASYLUM. G. W. Parry, Esq., culled attention to a letter from the Exchequer Loan office, stating that the application for a loan to the County of £ 5,000 for the above pur- poe could nnt be granted in the present state of the funds. Mr P. stated there only relllflined one other mode of raising the money, viz., by a mortgage on the county rates, the objection to which \v.ts tiial. the repayment would have to be spiead over the period of 30 years. CHIEF CONSTABLE'S REPORT. Captain Freeman handed in his report, which was read and approved of. It represented (amongst other things) that there was a difficulty experienced in ou, taining convenient lodgings in which the police con- stables could keep prisoners f,)r the night where there were no Lock-up Houses, and proposed that cottages should be taken on rent for them to occupy. The Chairman observed that no order could be made, and the court could only say that it approved of the course proposed to be adopted. The usual CUllnty husinp;¡s was afterwards pro- ceeded with, and a rate of three farthings in the pound ordered.

ABERYSTWITH COUNTY COURT (INTEREST- ING CASE.) -FUltIOUS RIDING. In the" Welshman" of the 4th of February, we gave an account of a serious accident that occurred near R!)vd,.feliti), abotit tvo iniles South of Aberystwith), occasioned bv the furious riding of three individuals, bv which Mrs. Morgan, of Biyti-yr-tic he ti, was very seriously injured. We at the same time advened to the brutal disregard of human life often evinced by the far- mers and others frequenting the Aberystwiih market, and i-idiikg through tire SL)uth turii[)ike gate. We also stfted that within a recent period, four serious accidents had oceuired near Rhvdyfelin. in one of wtiich a young woman was killed on the spot by one cart lacing furiously against the other, and for which the perpetra- tois were prosecuted and punished. We now come to Mrs. Morgans, of Biyn-yi-uchen's case. It appears that aiiotit iialf-past 7 in the evening of Monday, the 24th of January last, Mr. Morgans, a respectable farmer lesi- ding at Bryn-yr-uchen, a few miles from Aberystwiih, was going home from market he was on foot himself carrying a large bundle, and leading a pony on which his wife rode, who had also a basket on her arm. Having arrived within a short distance' of Rhydyfelin, and while in that narrow part of the road where it is flanked on each side by two high rocks, he heard the sound of horsemen gallopping furiously behind him. From the narrowness of the road and the suddenness of the onset he had no time to escape, and the consequence was that he and his wife w^re ridden over, and the latter most dangerously injured. From circum- stances presently to be stated, Mr. Morgan having rea- son to believe that the defendants were the parties who had committed the outrage, summoned them to appear before the magistrates at the Petty Sessions at Llanilar. The defendants appeared, but the roatter was dropped in consequence of the magistrates finding that under the Turnpike Act nothing is said agai nst driving furiously on the turnpike road, though it is made an offence by the Highway Act they therefore felt re- luctant to act, though the omission of the offence in the Turnpike Act is a palpable oversight. Mr. Morgan immediately commenced a plaint in the Local County Court against the defendants, Daniel Morgan, of Llech- ryd, farmer, William Lodwiek, Talsarn, tanner, and Evan Morris, of Llannon, farmer. The damages were I:iid at C-?O. The plaint clime on for hearing on Friday ast, at the Town-hall, Aberystwith, before A. J. Johnes, Esq., and the following respectable Jury —Mr. John Cox, bookseller, Mr. John Davif,8j mercer, Mr. D<ivi(] j Jones, North Parade, grocer, all of Aberystwith Ir. Wti). Jones, Bryncastell, and Mr. Abraham Jones, of CIVrt, fanners; Mr John Parry, of the firm of Messrs. Parry and Attwood appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Frederick Roberts, of the firm of Messrs. James Hughes and Roberts was aovocate for the defendants. Afier the Jury weie snoin, Mr. Parry opened the cause in a very luminous speech, in which the facts of the case were stated, and commented upon with great skill and clearness. He stated the circumstances of the outrage, and undertook to prove that the defendants were the three persons that were guilty of it. After some pre- liminary statements he said that the defendants after riding over the plaintiff did not stop, but went on at the same headlong speed, but the plaintifl, Mr. Morgan, immediately on gelling up cried for hell,-tilis was hear d by one of the witnesses, David Jacob, whom plain- ¡ear Y Oil t tiff asked to mount his horse and follow the defendants to discover who they were. Jacob immediately went in pursuit and although he was not able to overtake them for several miles, yet from its being a frosty night, he was able to keep within hearing of the defendants' horses. At Figure 4 one of the defendants fell from his horse which enabled Jacob to gain upon them, and at Chancery" he overtook them (though keeping slightly in advance to avoid their suspicion) until they all came to Llaurhystyd, where Mr. Jenkin Evans identified the defendants' Daniel Morgan, and Wm. Lod- wick. Mr. Parry then proceeded to stale that Mrs. Morgans was so much injured bv bein." thrown down and trampled on by the defendants' hn7sc>s, that she kept her bed for .5 weeks, and the bill for medical attendance would no doubt, be £ 10 and upwards. He then stated that the damages were only laid at £ 20, which was very moderate, and would scarcely compensate the plaintiff, and pay the expenses consequent on the injury, and he submitted to the Jury as fathers of families that the da- mages to be recovered were very moderate, & would not more than compensate the plaintiff for the expense and annoyance occasioned by the conduct of the defendants. Mr. Parry called John Lewis, ostler of the Talbot Inn, Aberystwyth. The witness proved that the plaintiff and his wife left the Talbot Inn, Aberystwyth, on the evening of the 24th of January, about half an hour previous to the 3 defendants. The plaintiff, Mr. John Morgan, was then examined: -He deposed to the main incidents of the accident as already stated, and to some minute particulars which have no bearing upon the result of the cate. III his cross-examination by Mr. Frederick Roberts, he stated that he was on the ri<{ht hand side of the road when the defendants overtook him. This was the position in which the pony happened to be when the defendants came on and they came so violently and suddenly that if he had attempted to change his position it might possibly have been the worse for him. There were a great many roads leading from the turnpike road be- tween Rhydyfelin and Llanrhystid namely, the road to Tanycastell, Bach-y-rhiw, &c &c., &c. He did not know the defendants that niaht, though he might have recognised them had they ridden at a moderate pace. From the position of the road, he did not hear them coming behind until they were within 40 or 60 yards of him, though he could hear their noise after passing him for ahout half a mile. He could not disting"uish (he dress of the defendants. He knew two of the de- fendants, Morgans and Frederick for sotne i,it!)e, and also the other defendant, Evan Morris, thollh imper- fectly. He was quite stunned by being ridden over which might account f..r his imperfect lemembrauce of some minute particulars of the collision. David Jacob, a youth about 17 years of age, was then examined, and gave his testimony with great precision, showing by his conduct on the night in question, as well as in the witness-box, that he is a person of jjreat presence of mind and acutenesg We give his evidence as summarily as possible, and as consecutively as the nature of his examination will permit. On the night in question, between seven and eight, but rather nearer to eight, he was at his father's workshop at llhvdyfelin, and heard someb,)dy crying for help. He immediately went to the place and saw the plaintiff who told him in I I had killed his wife. The witness said he saw three persons riding fui iously on horseback, just as lie heard plaintiff crying for help. Ue irn.nediatt ly took a ho-se from his father's shop, and went in pursuit. He was on their trail within five or seven minutes after he saw them pass and he heard them gallopping about a mile in advance. It appears that at the melee at Rhyd)felin Rock, the pony which Mrs. Morgan was riding got away, followed the defendants, and gallopped off with them. This pony the witness met not far from Rhyd- yfelin coming back. Thinking it had more mettle than his own, young Jacob jumped down, changed sallrPes, and was on the Brynyruchan pony in an instant, and in hot pursuit. At Figure 4" he was still behind, but could still hear the tramp of their horses. At Ahermeirig Hill they were only 150 or 200 yards ahead, and at Berth Rees, he came up with them, and entered into conversation with them. They asked him where he was going, and he replied" to Aberayron" Any further r" No." He then passed them but one of them followed him a little in advance of the others, and on his return to his comoanions, said to them" I really believe that is the pony." The witness kept a "little ill advance of them all the way to Llanrhvstyd, but was never out of hearing. Arrived at Llanrhystvd, he asked for a police ofifcer, but not finding one he went to the Red Lion. There he found Mr. Jenkin Evans, who came out to him. The witness saw the three horsemen coming in, and saw two of them going to the Star Inn, the other horseman he saw go over the bridge. This last the witness followed, and caught hold of his bridle, but was struck by him with a stick which he had in his hand. Mr. Jenkin Evans went into the Star and identifled the two other horsemen to be the defendants, D. Morgan and W. Lodwick. Evan Morris, was not identified here ) Mr. Frederick Roberts cross-examined the witness with considerable ingenuity, but could not shake his testimony. We 0 shall only give such parts of the cross-examination as have an essential bear- ing upon the points of the case. The witness heard the sound of the horses galloping along before he heard the plaintiff cry for help. He was standing at the shop door when they went by, 2 were abreast and one a little behind—they were beating their horses as much as they possibly could. (Yn lassio gymmaint byth a gallcnt.) The reason why he overtook them was because their horses were blown with hard riding, and his pony fresh. They had at least a mile s'art of him. (How do you know the distance asked Mr. Roberts), By the noise they made, I calculated the distance they were from me." He did not know tlte men, but he was quite sure they were the men that passed through Rhydyfelin. When he went into the Red Lion he had left his pony on the road side, and had his face to the road all the tiine,lest his "quarry" should escape. (Mr. Roberts, you surely did not speak to the people at the Red Lion with your back towards them.") Answer—" Certainly I did" (a laugh). Re-examined by Mr. Parry:—Nobody could pass over the bridge at Rhydyfelin between the time I fetched my horse and being actually on the road in pursuit. John Griffiths examined by Mr. Parry :—He was at Rhvdyfelin on the night of the accident—saw Mrs. Morgans carried to a house there; and saw also David Jacob fetching a horse. I was on the bridge while Jacob was fetching the horse, and am quite sure nobody passed the road on horseback during that time. Charles Davies examined by Mr. Parry:—He is acquainted with the defendant D. Morgan. Witness was at Figure 4" on the night in question. Heard the noise of horsemen riding fast. Saw one of the horsemen thrown. S'IW him getting out of the ditch without a hat. D. Morgan came back to assist the man that was thrown. He was positive it was D. Mor- gan he saw, for he shook hands with him. The horse- men afterwards went towards LlanrhysTyd. Mr. Jenkin Evans examined by Mr. Parry :—He was at Llanrhvstyd on the evening of the 21th of January. I know David Jacob, and remember his coining to the Red Lion & asking for a police officer. Some people then weyit tr3 shew him where the "police" lived. Jacob told witness of the accident when they had come out of the Red Lion 'and witness went to the Star" and founds the defendants Wm. Lodwiek and D. Morgan, to be the persons pointed out by Jilcob. lIe saw a Ihild person riding on, but as it was dark and he was at a short distance, he could not swear who he was, but he had no doubt of the identity of the defendants Lodwiek and Morgan, for he kiietv ttletil well. Witness shortly afterwards was present at the funeral of Mrs. James, Alltlwyd, and met defendant Evan Morris there, and told him be was ,-orry fie was summoned to Llanilar in respect of Mr. Moigm's arcuient. I,, tile course of the con vei satinn, defendant Morris told witness vou can say that on the night you saw me at Llaurhystyd, I was perfectly sober." Wm. Evans, Esq., surgeon, examined by Mr. Parry: -1 was called to attend on Mrs. Morgau, in conse- quence of having being run over. I fouhd hercollar bone was fractured, a partial concussion of the brain, and the limbs very much bruised. I constantly attended her from the night in question until the end of February, and my bill will amount to about Elo. Mr. Frederick lioberts then addressed the jury for the defendants, hut our space will only permit us to give the leading points of that gelitiettiaii's able speech. He began by adverting to the great sensation which the affair had caused in the neighbourhood,and he there- fore (wsought the jury to discharge from their minds whatever they had heaid out of doors, and attend only to the evidence. There was no doubt that the plaintiff's wife had met with the accident, but he denied that his clients were the cause of it and the jury before they could return a verdict for the plaintiff, must be first sati-,fied--of the identity of ttic, defendants. They should keep in mind the rule of lilw that all persons are inno cent until proved guilty and in considering this case, the jury should remember that although the plaintiff is a respectable man, yet the defendants were equally so. Mr. R. then adverted to the admission of the plaintiff that he was Oil the wrong side of the road, tl,,i, was a circumstance that should he taken in mitigation of damages. The jury should also consider that if any of the defendants were guilty, they should point out which of them were so, and which were not. He ridi- culed the idea suggested by Mr. Parry that E20 were not damages sufficient for the injury. Why then did he not take the case to another court where he might lay the damages at any amount he liked. It was admitted there were many cross roads between Rhydyfelin and Llanrhvstyd though there was nothing to prove, but that other persons might have come to the main road from the cross-road s. There was time enough for the plaintiff to get out of the way and if Mrs. Morgan had died, he asked the jury whether they considered the evidence sufficiently strong to convict the defendants of nitit-der ? He called tbrir attention particularly to the slight evidence of identification and urged, that against defendant Evan Morris, it was very slight indeed He concluded by staling that the 3 defendants would be brought before them, and would on their oaths deny that they were the parties who rode over Mrs. Morgan, and the jury should keep in mind that if after that solemn denial, they should still find a verdict for the plaintiff, they would be also in fact bringing a verdict of perjury against the defendants. The three defendants Win. Lodwiek, D. Morgan, and Evan Morris, were then severally called to the witness box, and put on their oaths. To give the evidence of each at full Icligth, would be occupying space without any correspondent advantage, as the only point that bears on the case may be stated in two lines; they positively denied being the parties who rode over Mrs. Morgan on the night in question. As to the final con- sequences of perjury the defendants seemed to be rather "at sea." They all admitted that it was a great sin, and would be punished hereafter, but they seemed very ignorant of its consequence here. The defendant D. Morgan, though fully aware of perjury being punishable in another world was not aware that it was attended with any temporal punishment such as fine, imprison- ment, transportation, &c. After Mr. Parry had said a few words in reply, the judge summed up. lie said the proceedings before the magistrates at Llanilar were no bar to the present action even had they terminated in a conviction, but as they proved abortive the case was still stronger, and the jury must dismiss them from their minds. The judge then adverted to the point raised by Mr. Roberts, as to the plaintiff being on the wrong side of the road. This plea could only avail the defendants if they did no wrong themselves, but could not at all avail those who are egre- giously in the wrong. (Mr. Ri berts here said ttiat he did not urge that circumstance its. an answer to the action but in mitigation of damages.) The judge resumed. It was at iiirht-tlie road was narrow-the plaintiff was walking with a burden, his wife and the horse were to be taken care ,f-tliese circumstances rendered it im- possible for him to make the necessary preparation. The darkness and the narrowness of the road should oil the contrary have made the defendants slacken their pace and go mine steadily, and even that pace which in the day time would not have been culpable beranle highly so at night and in such a narrow place. The next question was whether the jury believed the deed to be done by the defendants jointly—-they could not distinguish which of them did it, and against wrong-doers every- thing was to be presumed. As to the reliance to be placed on the witnesses, >vith the exception of the plaintif fhimself, all his witnesses were disinterested, and his case essentially depended upon the testimony of others. As to J"I);s Honour con- sidered that witne.-ses explanation of the sound of lilt horses feet sau«factory, and according to the plait, probabilities of the case. Also as to the chance o! Jacob's overtaking the defendants upon the supposition of their riding at a furious pace. This was explainii' by the fall of one of their tior,ei-a f,,ict not deii;c(i bo' admitted by the defendants. Indeed if the jury weie to take the evidence of Jacob and Griffiths, there seemed to be no doubt hut that the dpfendants were the parties who committed the injury. His Honour recapitulated and COlIIlIJPntprlnpon the evidence of the defendants, their extraordinary conduct and want of memory, and after again adverting to the testimony of Jacob and Griffith, as to no one else passing the road at the same time as the defendants,he concluded this section of his judgment by staling that the balance of testimony was decidedly in favour of the plaintiff. He then touched on the question of damages, and rebutted the notion that because the plaintiff hronght his action in this court, it was because he knew he could not get more damages in another. 011 the contrary, it was well known that for the sake of the conveniences and to avoid loss of time and other annoyances parties abandon double and treble the amount of what is really dtic, to them. In this ease the iurv must look ai THE BIII-.»O/„O K;H J .1. I quire further attendance (Mr. Roberts remarke 1 that •ir. Evans had discontinued his services) L'ssof service t0o, which in a large farm is of great con- sequence—indeed in a large farm it is doubtful whether the loss of the constant vigilance of a wife is not of greater prejudice to the interest of the farm than the loss of the service of the husband. Therefore he thought that the doctors bill;and the loss of the services of the wife would alone amount to the damages demanded. The jury however were the best judges,and would deli- ver their opinion without fear or dictation, but he Save8; it as his opinion that it was a clear case in favour of the plaintiff. Tiieljury through their fore- man Mr. Cox, afier a very short consultation, delivered their verdict in favour of the piainliff for tlte full amount of the damages claimed. This sum, together with the whole of the cosisoii both sides, will it is to be hoped serve as a warning against furious riding in the above loealitv for the future. The court was crowded during the 5 hours that this cause occupied, and the verdict of the jury gave universal satisfaction to the audience. BnEACH OF PROMISE .OF MARRIAGE.—The trial of the case of Phillips v. Charles, (the.defendant being a solicitor in Cardigan) for breach of a promised nuptial engagement, took place onTuesday at Gloucester, the auiagcs being laid at £ 10,000. After an amusing trial, a verdict was returned for the plaintiff, damages j One Thousand Pounds. ABERYSTWITH.—THE WEATHER.—On Sunday morn- ing last, the air was very sultry, with scarcely a breath of wind. About noon the sky became overcast as if a thunder storm was near at hand, a-id about one o'clock thunder commenced from the south. The lightning was remarkably vivid, accompanied with heavy showers of rain and hail, the thunder continued hovering around for about four hours, from north to south, the lightning remaining in the east during the whole night. THE GOGERDDAN HOUNDS.—A FORTNIGHT'S CAM- PAIGN IN THE V ALE OF AYRON.—The fame of the above splendid pack is so well known that a brief resume of its" doiugs" in the yale of Ayion for the last fortnight will doubtless give satisfaction to most of our readers. On Thursday, the 23rd ult., the meet was at Llanayron. Found a fox at Wee.ar Wen, but lost him after a sharp burst. Saturday, the 25th, met at Ty-mawr; found immediately -killed after a splendid run of one hour and twenty miuutes. Monday, the 27th, the meet was at Ystrad. Drew the covers as far as Abcrmeirig— crossed the Ayron, and soon found a fox. This went away at a rattling pace, but was pulled down in the open at Llanayron after a very severe run. Thurs- day, the 30th, met at Monachdy—found—but the fox after a good deal of sharp work saved his brush by oing to ground. Bolted off to \Veeg Wen, found a fox, and killed him after a good run. Saturday, the 1st of April, met at Noyadd—found—but after a very severe burst of twenty-five minutes, the fox got to ground in the rocks, and could not be got out. Thus ended some of the finest sport witnessed in the vale of Ayron for many years past. CARDIGAN .-The usual April horse "and cattle fair at Cardigan was held on Wednesday last, and was very well attended. The horses and cattle realized un- usually good prices and found ready purchasers. At a Special Petty Sessions for the Hundred of Troedyrawr, held at the Shire Hall, Cardigan, on Wed- nesday last, the constables for the ensuing year were appointed for the variou,' parishes in the hundred- Mr. Benjamin Davies, of Towyn, in the parish of Ver- %ie.k, t)ji!ig appointed high-constable, and Messrs.

The Tivv-Side Fox Hounds will meet on Monday next at the Bl tek Cock, Kilrhedin; on Thursday, at Pont- saison Bridge—each day at half-past eight o'clock.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. I MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—WARWICK, MAHCH: 31.-Befofe Mr. Jtis:tice Nla,ile.Nlattliew Davies, aged 42, was was charged with the wilful murder of his wife.Mary Davies, at the borough of Birmingham, on the 13th of October last. The prisoner lived with his wife at Bir- niiru-iium. She was a hard-working, industrious woman, but her husband had treated her with great brutality, and she had been forced to exliibit articles of the peace against him. Notwithstanding this he still persevered in his had conduct, and on the day of the tragical oceur- icnce she was going before the magistrates once more to claim their protection, aid had expressed such to be her intention a tew day- before. The prisoner tried to per- suade her not to do so, but she stated she was deter- mined she would. He had also gone to some relatives to solicit their good offices on his behalf with his wife, but they declined interfering, as his conduct had been so bad. Oil the ci.i v in question the ciek-eiscd had been peeling potatoes, and was washing tier hiiirls, wlicii he asked her rrpPatHJiy not to go before the magistrates, saying, ",Vil\ you, will yon?" several times, to which she replied that she would. He then went behind her and took hold of her head, as if, as one of the witnesses expressed it, he was going to kiss her but he drew a l.nife across her throat, and the poor woman having ad- need a vard or two, fell down, expiring after one or !'vo convulsive throbs. The facts were so plain there as no denving them, hut th, plea of insanity was set up, and several instances of conduct were given likely to lead to such an inference. The jury, however, returned a verdic- of guilty, and he was sentenced to he hanged. THE TIVERTON MUKDEII. — Friday being the day fixed for the trial of the parties charged with the murder of Richard Fisher, a farmer, at Cruwys Morchard, intense excitement prevailed. The court was crowded at an grand jury gallery beill, a is i. sual on these occasions, rilled with weli-dressed ladies. At nine o'clock Mr. Baron Piatt took his seat on the bench. The two prisoners, Ann Fisher and Mary ilodge, were then placed at the bar, and indicted Ann Fisher for the wilful murder of Richard Fisher, oti the 27th of August list, it Cruwys Morchard, by adminis- tering a quantity of white arsenic to him in mavshniallow ica, of which he languished until thp Sth of August, and then died. Mary Hodge was indicted for feloniously making, procuring, arid commanding Ann Fisher to commit the said murder. There were other counts v trying the charge. Both the prisoners pleaded not guilty. Ann Fisher is a rather pleasing-looking woman, apparently about thirty years of age, and her sister. Mary ilodge, a little older. Both preserved the gratest firmness and composure during the trial. It appeared from the evidence for the prosecution that Mr. Richard Fisher, the deceased, was a farmer, 71 years of age, and in the month of June last he was married to the prisoner Ann Fisher, whose name at that time was Leigh, miles from Tiverton. The prisoner Mary Ilodge was j her sister, and lived with her husband, Richard Ilodge, at a place called Black-dog, about four miles from Stob- born. Fisher was a man of some property, having ac- cumulated some £ 503 or £ 600 in the spnicc of a liss Partridge, an old lady livill at Wiiherbridge. After the marriage of Fisher, he went to live at Stobborn with his wife, the other inmates of the house being William Hawkes, Mrs. p isher's brother, and a boy called Alfred Hodge, Mrs. Fisher's nephew. They lived on at Stub- born about three months, ivhen, on the 2oth of August, there was some reaping and harvesting going on at at which a young man named Thomas Leach wo., preeiit. Ile, it had been a lover of Mrs. Fisher before her marriage with Fisher, and on this day, as they were coming from the harvest-field, some romp- ing took place between him and Ann Fisher, and he kissed her. This made Richard Fisher very angry, and he had words with his wife. He went to bed early, but the others remained carousing until a late hour, Richard Hodge, Mary Hodge, William Ilawkes, and some others being there. About one in the morning Hodge, his wife, and the others, with Thomas Leach and Ann Fisher, lefMhe house in a cart together; and when the old man, Fisher, awoke in the morning, he found his wife gone. He was very angry, got up, and went away to Withebridge, where he saw MissPartridge, who owed him some money, and desired her not to pay it to his wife if she should call for it, but only to him. He came back to Stobborn about nine o'clock in the morning, when his wife was returned. They had more words, but he sought to make it up. About mid-day he was unwell, when his wife, at his request, made him some marshmallow tea. He went to bed, and the next morn- ing was a corpse. An inquest being held, a post mortem examination of the body was made, and a quantity of arsenic was found in the body. The motive supposed to actuate the prisoner in committing the double crime with which she was charged, was that she wished to obtain the money of the old man, Fisher (he having made a will in her favour, leaving her all his property), and then to marry Thomas Leach. Mr. Hogley, a surgeon, who was called in to see the deceased, stated that, on his arrival, the prisoner said that he, Fisher," was ll gone," and then detailed, at some length, the mode in which he had been attacked by illness, and that he died "very quietly." She expressed a desire that a coroner's inquest should be held on the body. Johannah Brooks, who had been a prisoner in Exeter gaol with the prisoner, swore that the prisoner Fisher had cont'essed to her that Leach had bought the arsenic, which she put in the marshmallow tea, and gave to her husband. That some time after, as he was not dead, she placed a feather bed upon him, and all four of them (the two prisoners) R. Hodge and Leach, laid upon it until he was dead. On cross-examination by Mr. Cockburn, the witness ad- mitted that she had made five charges of rape against five different men, and disclosed so many instances of falsehood and depravity as to render herself completely unworthy of credit. Mr. Cockburn, whose speech for the prisoners occupied upwards of four hours, called upon the jury to disbelieve the story of the confession sworn to by Brooks, as she was a witness upon whose statement not the slightest reliance could be placed ouing to the infamy of her character and the baseness of her previous conduct. He should prove that she was not a woman who coulll hp believed on her oath He did not deny that Fisher died from the effects of poison in all probability they would find that the arsenic was taken in mistake. At any rate, there was no evidence to show that Mrs. Fisher administered it. The learned counsel proceeded to comment at very great length upon the evidence, and then stated the case which he had to lay before the jury. Several witnesses were then called, who swore they would not believe Brooks on oath. The learned judge went through the evidence with the ut- most perspicuity, and the jury, after consulting for about five minutes, returned a verdict of not guilty. The trial commenced on Friday TiioriiiiiEz, and did not teiniinate till one o'clock on Sunday morning. One count in the indictment to be preferred against Messrs. Smith O'Brien, Meagher, and Mitchell, charges them, under the 37th George III., 1st Victoria, 91, with endeavouring to seduce her Majesty's forces from their allegiance —in this case (if convicted) they would incur the punishment of transportation for their natural lives.
