TJIK CHARGR. Hi.s Lordship said that it' it had been his good fortune to come there about a week ngo. I10 would absolutely have had nothing to say to them; but last week had produced one prisoner. and with that prisoner be hoped they should satisfactorily deal. It was a mutter of real con- gratulation that, crime in that county was so light; but that case was obliged to be tried there, as it was proper that the gaol should be delivered, and the case was a simple one. There were two matters upon which he desired to s.iy a few words. One 11,111 reference to the proposed removal of the assizes from Beaumaris to some other place in the county. If the time ha.d come when it was a purely Anglesey question, with which no one else h,HI anything to do, to remove the assizes from that pleasant twid beautiful place to a place more convenient to the in- nnbitants generally, all he would say was that the judges had hut to go where the people of Anglesey thought Jit and proper to .-end them. The other matter he wished to refer to, and which he had mentioned in all other counties he had attended, was the change proposed to be made in the relations between judges and high sheriffs. From his experience, extending over seventeen years, he thotild say that no change would benefit his lalations with the high sheriffs, which relations he hoped would long continue. AN IMPUBKNT THEFT AT HOLYHRAD. Percy 11.

Witness replied that he did not want it.—Cross-examined Prisoner did not -er me a chain for sale.—Mr. Hugh Owen. jeweller, Bangor, said that two men called at his shop on the ocli July.
