Saturday 02 Aug 1845 (p. 2, col. 4) THE ASSIZES.-The commission of assize will be opened on Monday next before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL and Mr. Baron ROLFE. The calendar is light in point of number but, as regards quality of crime, the heaviest that has been known for many years. It is as follows:- JANE CROSBY, charged with the murder of her child. JOHN GRAHAM, charged with the murder of his wife and father. GEORGE HUNTINGTON, assault and stealing. JOHN COOPER, burglary. ANN ARMSTRONG, larceny. ELIZABETH KELLER, larceny. JOHN KNOWLAN and WILLIAM FLANAGAN, rape. JAMES SMITH, larceny. The business at Nisi Prius will also be heavy. CLAIRVOYANCE.-The following ludicrous paragraph appeared in the columns of our respectable contemporary the Liverpool Times, on Tuesday last:- "Mr. John GRAHAM, a farmer at Kirkandrews, was convicted at the Carlisle Assizes, last week, of having poisoned his father, Mr. John GRAHAM, a respectable yeoman of the village of Grinsdale, by mixing arsenic with his food. He was also tried on a charge of having poisoned his own wife, Margaret GRAHAM, by the same means, and was acquitted." We need scarcely inform our local readers that this is the pure invention of some busy and needy penny-a-liner: our assizes not having yet been held, and John GRAHAM being still untried.
