William Nicholls was indicted for a burglary in the dwelling-house of William Vormick, and stealing a ' trunk, value £3. 10s. three shirts, and other articles. Williani Vormick stated, that he lived in Pelham's street, Mile-end, where he occupied an apartment in the house of a person named Abbott. There were other lodgers in the house. On the 12th of this month he left his own room, about five o'clock in the after noon, and locked the door, taking the key with him. He left the room for the purpose of taking tea with a lodger in the same house. Between seven and eight o'clock, he was first apprised of the robbery in con sequence of a kitten that had been left locked up in the room, having come up into the apartment where he was. On getting to his own room, he found his property gone, and the door opened by a false key. The trunk contained all his property, both clothes and money. Witness had recovered some little articles of the property, and had seen several persons about the house, but did not particularly observe the prisoner. Alittle boy, about eleven years of age, proved that on the day of the robbery, he saw six men stand ing opposite the prosecutor's lodgings, of whom the prisoner at the bar was one. Witness knew the pi. soner very well, who after addressing a few words to him, immediately after crossed over to the other side of the way, and the lamplighter having gone by, said to his accomplices, Come, come ; now is the time." They then went to where Vormick lodged; and after remaining there a short time, one of them came out, and placed something like a trunk, of about a yard long, on the shoulder of another of the party. They then went off, and witness followed the person who carried the load on his shoulder, and who was accompanied by five of the gang, including the prisoner, while the sixth met them in an alley, by taking a different direction. Next day he saw one of the gang come out of a public-house, when witness having gone in to see what o'clock it was, found them all assembled there, and playing at cards. This little boy, who, though quite uneducated, still gave his evidence very circumstantially, and stated some other particulars, from which it appeared that it was by his means the prisoner had been taken into custody. The two constables who apprehended the prisoner, produced some part of the stolen property, which had been found in different places. Mr. Baron WOOD recapitulated the evidence, and the Jury found the prisoner—Not Guilty. It appears that the Sheriffs have not yet adjusted their differences with regard to precedency. This morning, at an early hour, Mr. Sheriff PARKINS took his seat, in the Senior Sheriff's box, but quitted it on the arrival of the Judges, in order to attend them into Court. In the mean time, Mr. Sheriff ROTH.. I WELL entered the Court, on the same side with Mr. Baron WOOD, it:id took possession of the seat which his brother Sheriff had just left vacant, and who, upon his return, appeared exceedingly disconcerted at finding it filled. Mr. Sheriff ROTIIWELL now took up some Newspapers, which Mr. Sheriff PARKINS had been reading, and regarded him with a signifi cant smile, while the latter immediately retired. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, OCTOBER 27. THE LINO V. GEORGE NICHOLSON, ESQ. • This was an Indictment against the defendant,who is a retired Captain of the Veteran Battalion, for an assault upon Michael Elijah Impey, grandson of the late Sir Elijah lmpey, oi*he 4th of June last. From the statement of Counsel, aad the evidence adduced, the following facts were disclosed:—The defendant had, in 1816, married the widow of the late Major Impey, at Jersey, where his Regiment was quartered, and the prosecutor', a young man aged 18, was one of the children left by the Major, to whom the defendant was Guardian. The prosecutor had been at Bagshot Military School for his education, and on leaving that seminary he became one of the inmates in the defendant's family. During his resi dence with his stepfather, those disagreements which but too frequently occur amongst such relations, un happily found their way between the prosecutor and the defendant. In the month of June-last, the prose cutor's married sister was on a visit at the defendant's house, at Southall, near Hayes, when an accident having happened to her child, the prosecutor imme diately went for Mr. Evans, the family Surgeon, to attend it, but finding that Gentleman from home, he brought in the assistance of a Mr. Oliver, who at tended to the child. When Mr. Oliver appeared, the defendant expressed his displeasure at the circum stance, and seemed anxious that Mr. Evans should have been called in in preference. The prosecutor was about to explain the reason why Mr. Oliver was called in, when the defendant immediately said to him, "What do you know about it, you dirty puppy?' Upon which the prosecutor replied, " This is fiery uncivil language to use to me before a stranger ; if you have any thing to say to rne, say it at another time." The prosecutor having just put on his hat to go out with Mr. Oliver, the defendant came behind him, and struck him a violent blow on the right side of the head, and knocked his hat 'off. A scuffle en sued, and Mr. Oliver interfered to prevent further violence. In the scuffle the prosecutor received seve ral other blows on his forehead, eyes and mouth . He then retired to his room to bathe his face, when he was followed by the defendant, who collared him, and again struck him several violent blows, using a great deal of abusive language ; upon being restrained from committing further outrages, he said, that he was very sorry he had not given the prosecutor a d---d -good threshing. Some time afterwards he came up, and again renewed the assault, and said, " I will have him out of the house; I will have the villain out by the cuff of the On his cross.examination the prosecutor admitted, that when he was first struck he bad his hat on in the room, there being at that time some Ladies present ; but he denied that the blow was given in consequence of his refusing to take his hat off when requested by the defendant. LAW LVTELLIGE;;CE. COURT OF KING'S BENCII, OCTOBER 27. The Court again met at Serjeant's Inn Hall, and proceeded with the Special Paper to-day, but none of the cases disposed of were of general interest. The only case worth mentioning was the following : FLANNIGAN V. WATKINS. This was a demurrer to the pleas to a declaration of debt on a bond of indemnity, dated sth March, 1811. The question raised in the argument was, whether under the 49th Geo. 111. c. 111. commonly called Sir Samuel Romilly's Act, the surety under an annuity' deed, where the annuity is redeemed after baukruptcy, may or may not make good a claim against the grantor of an annuity upon an indemnity bond, notwithstanding the grantor of the annuity has proved the value of the annuity under the Com mission of Bankrupt'? The Court, after hearing the arguments of Coun sel on both sides, postponed their judgment until the next Term. • OLD BAILEY SESSIONS. !‘ 4! / 1 ~` }. { 1 . . Yesterday these Sessions commenced before the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR, Mr. Baran WooD, Mr. Justice PARR, the RRCORDRR, Ste. The Calen dar contains a list of 214 prisoners for trial ; among whom are two for murder, and 22 for uttering For ged Notes ; bet the general aspect of the whole seems in no respect unfavourable, none of the crimes, as it ap l uars, being marked by any very serions,ag gravation. One-Of the persons for murder, is Loft, in whose case the Westminster Grand Jury threw out the Bill. Emma Davis and Sarah Smith were indicted fog stealing three £1 Notes, from the person of a Mr. William Walton. The evidence was clear against 'Davis, who made no defence, but strongly urged the innocence of Smith. After a short charge from Mr. Ilaron Woo!), the Jury acquitted Smith, but found Davis—Guilty. Ann Pearson, a servant, wa; next put to the bar, accused of stealing a vast number of articles of silver plate, shawls, &c. in the house of Mr. Robert Dunell, in the parish of St. Mary, Islington, on the 28th of last month. 'Martha Dunell stated, that she resides in Islington, and Ann Pearson was in her service; but left her without notice, though she had a good character with her. She missed several silver spoons, a pep per-caster, two watches, a gold ring, and six silk scarfs and shawls. Rachael Bnastens lives in Gray's Inn-lane ; had known the prisoner for three or four years. She came to witness's house on the 25th of September, in the afternoon, and asked witness if she would pawn a table-cloth ? Witness did so at Mr. Beauchamp's. Prisoner then produced a shawl and scarf, and said she had some plate, which she wished to sell, which articles were her husband's- A shawl and scarf were pawned in Holborn, on a different day, on which she obtained 18s. and 2s. for the table-cloth. She gave the product of the articles to the prisoner. Mr. Dunell was sent for by the prisoner to a pub lic-house, who expressed great contrition for what she ha t done. He had previously held a conversa tion with a person who knew prisoner, in which he stated, if she - would tell who received t 4 property, be (witness) would forgive her. Witness found some duplicates on the person of the last witness, and on going to the pawnbroker's, he found some of his property. j. Franklin, Clerk to Mr. Fleming, a pawnbroker, stated, that a ring was pledged at his shop on the 29th of September ; they were requested to attend at Worship-street, but did not, because they received no summons from the Magistrate. Mr. Justice PARK—You should have attended ; as an holiest man, you were bound so to do, with or without a summons. If you do not attend in future, you may be placed in a situation similar to that of the prisoner, as the receiver of stolen goods. The Clerk of another pawnbroker produced the ticket of the shawl and scarf, which was pledged in the name of Brown, on the 29th of September. Ile was requested to attend at Worship-street, but failed to do so : he having then minuted his reasons ona slip of paper, which he had subsequently lost, was the sole motive for his not attending there. Mr. Justice PARK—For the future you had better trust to your memory. The prisoner made no defence. Mr. Justice PARK recapitulated the evidence ; the Jury consulted for a few minutes, and returned a verdict of—Guilty. Mr. Dunell strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy ; and Mr. Justice F I ARK said he should attend to it, although the crime for which she was found guilty was one of serious concern to . the business of social life. fly order of the Court, the pawnbrokers were not allowed their expenses. John Davis was indicted for having assaulted Sa muel Ward, en the 11th of this month, in the Parish of St. Paul, Covent-Garden, and taking from his person a pocket-book, and 7s. 6d. in money. It appeared from the evidence of Samuel Ward, the prosecutor, that he was. on the day of the rob bery, in company with a fri,nd, in the neighbourhood of Drury-lane, when he inquired of a woman the nearest way to Charing-Cross? and two men having come up at the time, took hold of the witness, one by each arm, and offered to conduct him ; when he sAisi that he did not require to be led, and they ac cordingly desisted, but urged him to give them something to drink, and he offered to treat them with some porter, but the landlord of the public-house re fused to let them have any. They then came out of the public-house, and wanted some gir., but witness having refused to indulge them with it, they knocked him down, and the prisoner torrk from his inside pockct, which he cut, the pocket-book and the money. The prisoner then attempted to escape, but %%as apprehended in Brydges-street, on the cry of— « Stop Thiel !' bcing raised. Witness was sure the prisoner :4t the bar was the person, as he never log Light of him. Smithers, an officer of Bow -street, deposed to the facts relating to the apprehension of the prisoner, who, lien closely pressed, did himself join in the Mr. Oliver, the Surgeon, corroborated the testi mouy of the prosecutor, and stated on his.cross-exa fendant had desired the prosecu at the time last mentioned. addressed the Jury with such topics as the nature of the case suggested, but called no wit nesses. The Learned CHAIRMAN summed up the case with his usual good sense and discernment, and the Jury found the defendant—Guilty. The Court sentenced him to pay a fine of £5, and I enter into securities to keep the peace for 12 months, [ himself in £lOO, and two sureties in £5O each. CRUELTY TO A CHILD. Mr. BARRY stated, that he appeared on behalf of the prosecutor, who was in this case a female child, about eight years old, of the name of Chard. Her father and mother were some time since separated, and this little creature, the youngest of four children, was the only one consigned to his case. There lived with him, since the separation, a young woman named Anne• Taylor, in the capacity of house-keeper, and this person was now indicted for the infliction of the most barbarous cruelties on the child. The neighbourhood, continued the Learned Gentleman, had frequently heard of the treatment of this child ; but it was on the 31st of June last that the cruelty was perpetrated upon which the present Indictment was founded. On. that day, the Woman at the Bar had so injured the little creature, that its screams brought several per ' sons of the neighbourhood about the house, who were witnesses of the treatment, which they would shortly detail. The mother was informed of the cruelty in flicted on her child, and it was shortly after brought before a Magistrate. The present prosecution was instituted by the Parish. Mr. ADOLPHUS suggested to his Learned Friend, that on the strength of the defence he had to make, it should be very well for his client that an accommo dation would take place. He would now propose to withdraw a Juror. Mr. BARRY was perfectly willing to accede, and so was the Solicitor, but the grandmother of the child refused every such proposal, although it had been re peatedly recommended to her. The case was, therefore, proceeded in. The fol lowing witnesses were then called : Esther Chard, the prosecutor, an interesting child, was put into the box. She was asked her age? - and quietly replied, eight years of age. Being - asked if she knew what would become of those hereafter who told lies? she said she could not tell. As she ap peared wholly ignorant of the nature of an oath, she could not be examined. ..... Anne Slater was then called. She saw the woman at the Bar on the 31st of June throw down the child, and stamp upon her. She afterwards seized her, and beat her severely with a small cane—a common ratan. The child had the 'nark on her for some time. Cross-examined.—She saw the child next day. She ' witnessed the ill-treatitent close to where it was in flicted, the parlour door being half open at the time. She did not .see the marks of cruelty until the child wasbrongEt by her grandmother. Mrs Foster lives opposite to the residence of the wo man at the Bar. She herself had the four children of Mrs. Chard under her care for a year and ten months. She saw the child the day after the cruelty was com mitted ; its little body was more like a cut liver than flesh. [This drew from the Jury and the Court a strong expression of horror.] Or: her cross examination, she said the children had been taken from her by the father, and she be lieved they now lived in Piccadilly. The child Esther was brought to Shadwell Office on the 9th of Au gust, where all the marks of violence were exhibited. She did not see the mother for some time back. Eliza Downer lives next door to the residence of Mr. Chard and the prisoner at the Bar. She accom panied the Parish Officers with the child to Shadwell 1 Office. The child was dreadfully bruised; the marks of violence were shocking to look at. John Wed, an officer. He presented the child at the Office. She exhibited a shocking spectacle ; she was black and blue to the middle, and had a bruise in the right groin, which compelled the little creature to walk on her right toe.—Here the case closed. Mr. ADOLPHUS addressed the Jury at considerable length. He said he should be able to shew, by the testimony of Chard, that the mother of the child was now living in a state of prostitution at the west end of the town, and that the object of the prosecution was to torture Chard into the execution of a deed of separation, which would enable her and her mother to live more comfortably in their abandoned course. He should shew that the children, when left to the mother, had been.reduced to a shocking state of mi sery and disease, from which the kind treatment of the woman at the bar had recovered them ; and that so far from ill-using, she had treated them every way like a mother. He commented on the evidence, and very frequently alluded, with the utmost severity, to the grandmother of the child, who sat in Court.— At the conclusion of his speech he called James Chard, but there was no such person in at tendance. The Learned Chairman told the Jury that this was a case deserving their utmost attention. He was sur prised that any Gentleman should have set up such a defence as that which they had heard ; but as there was no part of it proved by evidence, they were bound to dismiss every tittle of it from their minds. He said, after the full, fair, deliberate testimony that had been adduced, tit support of the case, it was im possible to have a second opinion —at least he felt so. but it was for the Jury to determine for themselves. The Jury, in a few moments, returned a verdict of Guilty, and the woman was sentenced to six months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. The sentence gave the .utmost satisfaction to a crowded Court. Just before the verdict of the Jury was giVen, one 'of the Magistrates on the Bench (Mr. KINNAIRD), rose, and alluding to Mr. ADOLPHUS'S Address, said he thBught it extraordinary that any person should *ttempt to indulge in such severity of reproof, w here there was not a shadow of evidence to justify it.
