The Lotto CrtaNCELLOII, On coming into Court yes terday, stated, that he should hear no more causes after that day : he would, however, on Monday, give kidgment in as many cases as lie could possibly over take, as 1w was anxious fo fet rid of a number of hero r but as there were some which he could not decide it iiretent, he should take the papers down Erich him to the country, and give them all due at tention.

Mr. EDWARD CARY, second son of towAttnCATtY i Esq. of F. Daum, returning in a gig to Tier-abbey, late en Tuesd, y nit t •ht UM, was untor innately thrown from it in the lawn, near the house, in consequence of ;he horse running away, and received sn severe an injury from the shock, as to occasion his death on &itchy afternoon. &nudity evening, as the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Met- Um were returning from Norwich to Tuddenham, hi a one horse gig, the animal took fright from the reins falling under his tail, and running up a bank, upset the gig, when, unfortunately, Mrs. Mewsn bad her leg broken hi two places, and was otherwise mach bruisep ; the Rev. Gentleman also sustained some injury from the consusions he received. This morntng, between nice and ten o'clock, a Lady and Gentleman *ere thrown out of a gig in Piccadilly; the latter rose unhurt, but the Lady re teived a most violent contusion on the forehead, and was carried in a state of insensibility into the nearest house. The horse, which was a very fine spirited animal, in coming down Park-lane, was startled br an umbrella, and it never halted until it threw itself with great violence against the Park railing* adjoining Lord WILLIAM GOIIDMIN residence, and here the Lady and Gentleman were thrown but by the vio lence of the blow: The horse was not much hurt, although his bend and thest struck a lamp iron with full violence. We cannot help thinking that many accidents of this nature might be prevented if persons who have the folly to ride in gigs, would not also in dulge themselves in the silly vanity of putting into them young Mood horses of fine figure and action scarcely fit to be mounted by an experienced jockey at a hunting match. In fact, no horse is so well adapted for a gig, hi London in particular, as an old coach horse, and if he is blind, and has a careful driver, so Much the better. A Gentleman of the name of IGANI. Who, with his family, resides at Hove, a village about a mile from Brighton, drove up to the Post Office there in his curricle yesterday afternoon. He bad . tirce fine children (all boys) in the vehicle with ram having alighted and got his letters, he di. cected his servant to take the reins. and drive slowly to North-street and turn down West-street, at the bottom of which he (Mr. KEANE) would meet him. The man conk his sear, and carefully obeyed his master's commands. He had nearly reached his detonation, when, in passing a team, in West-street, curricle slightly grazed one of the horses, which in , tantly gave a tremendous kick, and dashed the carriage to pieces : the servant and children were literally thrown Into the air to the beight of several feet, and fell with dreadful violence. The man and ens of the boys escaped with some severe, but not dangeroust.contusions; the other two, however, were dangerously hurt, and lie but with little hopes of recovery. One of these unfortunate sufferers is a.son of Mr. fir.oris, about seven or eight years of age, and lbeother tho son of Mr. Wear, a Gentleman also rending at Hove, and who appears to be only about Eve Yee , * old.

'1 hey were, during the interval, assiduously sett:tided by die Mi nister of the gaol, and received his religious admonitions and con solation, with gratitude and fervor; and there is every reason to believe that they were sincere and COA!fita penitents. On the morning ef Thursday sennight, they left the goal in a waggon, and accompanied by the usual attendants, moved slowly towards the Heath. The concourse of spectators was immense. At an early hour, they filched in from parts of the County, and even from London ; and it is calculated, that at the place of teenw lion, nearly ten thousand persons were assembled. It was about twelve o'clock when the melancholy procession reached the place of execution. On the waggon drawing up in froin of the Drop, tootle of the sufferers, particularly Curby and Conner recognised many of their acquaintances in the crowd, seven; 01 whom retied forward to take their last farewell of them. To an In quiry from a friend, as to how lie felt himself in his awful sites tioo? Conner replied, " quite happy' sod his manner daring the whole of the period of preparation, evinced the utmost fortitude. —Corby requested of th eir frien ds, that they would take away their. bodies as soon as possible after the execution. The poor men all joined with the Rev. Mr. Animas, the Chaplain of the gaol, for some minutes in earnest and devout prayer, at the conclusion of which, Vowyer ant ascended the fatal platform. He was al. lent, and appeared to be resigned to his fate. Nest were Cushy, Brown, and Conner. Curby was a remarkably fine lookbg man and displayed the utmost fortitude. Brown appeared much agi tated and dejected. Conner was composed, resigned, and wel i may almost say, cheerful! The four whom we have just mentioned, slid not, when on the scaffold, tither make any confession or deny their guilt. Webb next left the waggon. This unfortu nate men did not appear so resigned to his melancholy dilution as the others. He did net deny his guilt, and said be hoped his fate would be a warning; but he inveighed with some bitterness against the testimony of several witnesses on his trill; particu larly relative to its having been stated, that he was at Lenhato, et the time he was at Chrslebunt ; but he said be forgave them, and hoped Goo would forgive them. He bad been taken and prosecuted for the sake of the reward co his conviction, and not for the sake of the Lady, when it had cost altogether, between eight and nine hundred pcieeds. 'I he wretched man Was here interrupted by Cornier, who said to him, " die in peace V. to which he &towered, " I do die in peace, and forgive cietri." Clubb was very deeply affected by the, near approach of death, wept much, and addressed the mnititicie from the seadfold.. He hoped that his fate would be a warning to those present—and exhorted them to beware of connexions with dissolute wo men; " if (said be) I bad not lett nay poor wife, and take' up with another woman, I should never have come to this." —Morrie was silent, though much agitated. The lain who came under the hands of the executioner, was Donald: he was a very tall man (upwards of six feet)* he was genteely dressed, but looked DIM . haggard and distressed than any of Isis partuers in Inistry. He said nothing a.eud, but, whis pered a few Words to the executioner. Whet'. all the dreadful preparations were convicted (about twenty minutes otter twelve o'clock), a few minutes were speid In loud and earnest prayer, *hen the fatal bolt was withdrawn, mid the wretched sufferers were lauuched into the boutollus ocean of eternity. Corby was much convulsed, and Donald was more so; the others appealed to suffer but little. Atter banging the usual time, and WS ow tomary and ridiculous practice of applying the heads of the do. ceased, to children afflicted with wens. ice. having been per formed, the bodies wine lowered into shells cud cellos, and .de. livered to their several Wends. Corby, Brown, and Conine, were put into . a cart by some friends, among whom we under' stand were one or inure of Curby's sons, hod were taken to Blackwell for iaternittut. While preparations for the execution were Makin, James and George Pocock, charged with robbing Mr. Z. Fry, on /wheat Downs, of sundry Ba.i.k notes to the value of AVON were brought to the prison, amidst a seine, truly await, and affording a ensit. tome prospect t o themselves.

AUGUST IL There *l6 et causes entered for trial at these A .Asistea. colllwing were the most itrpbrtant THE ICING V. RIDOUT. Mr. 32.9eant Lv.s stated this to be an iodiattilent for obtainonz possession of I promissory note under false pretence*, which was in law a misJemeanour. William Poole deposed, that defend tnt owed him £lOO ; he received from hini a promissory note of seso on account; it b-came due 18th May, but was not honoured t he Itz.pt it two or three days, and then called upon defendant, who could not pay. but wished to renew it. Defendant produced several promissory' notes, from which witness selected one; it was is bill of James Itacey, at two montbi; for 1185, payable to the firder ci defendant, and endorsed by him ;—he said, when you get it discounted kive me the balance. Poole, Jun. said, defendant 'called at their counting house, and asked If they had discounted the not.. ? he got possession of it from his father : a fort night after, witness called upon defendant, and asked what he had done with the note? he said, he had torn it, as Racey was a poor man, and could not so well bear the I,ss as them. William Poole, sen.—Defendant said, as the note was nut discounted, he would give a check for £3O, if witness would give it back : witness thought the check **hi not be paid, at defendant's former bill had been dishonoured. Defendßnt said, his credit was again gond at the Bank ; and if the Bank shr.uld be shut, he bad a friend who would discount it. Wit ness said, if not discounted, it must be returned, which defendant promised ; Witness thought it was an accommodation bill Racey's name was not men dotted. A. Pope, Esti. pro 4 ted, that defendant's credit in I May, 1815, was bad at the Bank. Mr. Serjrant PELL, in his detente, implored the Jury to discharge their minds of any prejudice im bibed against the unfortunate man who was the sub ject of the present indictment. Whatever had been his situation, the cause must stand upon its own me. rite. The indictment charged him with having ob tained of both Pooles the note under false ptetenccs. Now, to the old man he had made no false pretence whatever; he asked for the note upon certain condi tions which he was in hopes of fulfilling ; he f !its in these, but this does not prove their falsity. In this instance the indictment is not supported, for it charges him with making false pretences to both. Passing over two or three objections, such as that the note is not set out accurately in the record, the two months not specified ; again, endorsed by raid G. Itidoot, but no proof of such endorsement ; the principal oh ! jection, however, was, that there was no more m this case than sea to be met with in almost every bill transaction in these difficult times. The defendant owes £100; he gives a bill for 451; and though it ' is dishonoured, it is kept by the i'oolrs against a to. Lure time, which is proved by their offering to return the balance of the second bill if discounted. The de tendant founders about, like many others who over trade themselves, but there is certainly no evidence of the false pretences which the Act contemplates, via. the obtaining bills and notes of value by fraudu lent means. The Learned Judge, in charging the Jury, obser ved, he could know nothing of the defendant ; but if there were any thing to countenance his. Learned Brother's caution, he was bound to strengthen it by saying, that if prejudice from former character w..s indulged, we must bid adieu to the boas►ed privilege of Juries. It was their duty to make themselves ,g. norant of every thing but the facts before them. De fendant could not Ipare been indicted but for a recent statute, which, they had been properly told, contem plated the obtaining bonds, securities, and valuable notes, upon false pretences; and Juries could not be too cautious in preventing such statutes being turned into engines of malevolence or revenge. The present was fra►aed to protect the unwary against the crimi nal; who represented themselves what they were not, but was tierce intended to extend to civil debts. The parties in this case appear on an equality, tur the Ponies do not part with the first promissory note — they keep all the security they can—and they only part with the second upon the prospect having it immediately discounted. In short, the indictment is altogether inconsistent with the facts, and GOD for bid you should punish this man for any former con d►tct, if he do not deserve it in this. The Jury, however, found a verdict of Guilty. Upon which the Judge said—ii lam afraid you have taken into your recollection previous circum stances. • I say publicly, I think the Jury wrong.— Brother Pell, you have your remedy." Mr. Serjeant Pat.t....." We have it in our power to set. it right." PROTHOROg v. 311111103. Mr. Serjeant Pau. said this cause was of consider. able importance to the public as well as to the par ties. The plaintiff. Sir H. Protheroe, was a Gen tleman well known in this neighbourhood; the de fendant was a stranger, residing a levy miles off. No min could lie more disposed than the plaintiff to :hew justice to his tenant., but these had been a very wholesome statute enacted to protect landlords, which visited with severe penalties the fraudulent conveying away of the goods of a farm. The plaintiff had a tenant of the name of Wilkins, who became unable in 1816 to pay his rent : just previous to the termina tion of another quarter, and when he might expect to be called upon, he colleagued with the defendant to remove property off the farM in the middle of the night. It wou!d be pleaded, he understood, that the tenant was indebted to the defendant to a considerable amount, and that he took his property as part of pay ment : but let it be remembered that the transaction was of a suspicioUs nature, because he had chosen to remove the goods, not in the day time, which he might have done if the demand was fair and legal, but under cover of the night, feeling concealment to be necessary. Under these circumstances, the Learned Scijeint anticipated a verdict for plaintiff of penalties to double the amount of the goods removed. John Taylor was bailiff to Sir Henry Protheroe : Wilkins was a tenant of plaintiff's, at a rent of iii24s, it was payable quarterly; but there was due in June 0472. 15s. 6d. The, land was situated in ~North Weston. • William Tuck knows Wilkins, and Beget; - the de leadant; the latter lived ten miles from Wilkins's farm; was employed by Wilkins on the.22d of Sep last to haul a load of goods to Bristol, form ' tare of the home : Wilkie: au:ited in packintop. and was to meet within on the Back s there the-goods were unl•iaded, and put on a , drays he was ordered to go home and haul more pods t.' Wilkins', the defendant; when he get home, fowl.; Brakes saa the farm ; said, I 'ni going t.' haul snmc 004 to Sour house ; he said, do as your master ,irdeked you ; nut several things into a waggon, chairi, tubs, press, Sm. Deakes left between three and tone o'clock, witness between eight and nine, got to hii !untie be. tween twelve and one at night, put the goods in the barn ; defendant was up, waning ; Wilkins's hotel drew the waggon, left them there, turned out into Brakes' orchard, witress slept theft, and went home next morning, left horses and waggon behirid him— five horses worth about 9or 810 eat!). Sir Henry's people fetched part of the things back.—Cross-ett. mined—Horses were got back, goods were put in the waggon openly and publicly ; called at Durban's going down, and waggon remained in pubbc road. H. Bober, jun. went to distrain for Sir Henry% rent '26th September, took all he found on the pre. mists ; went on the following day to Beakes's, be was standing at the gate, said he expected me ; told him I came tor the goods from Wilkins's farm ; be would not suer me to take them till he conAilted his Attorney ; I allowed hirt an hour ; he placed A chain round the gate; did aficewards get possession of the things, three mares, cart, &e. Beekes pointed out the things, there were two horses besides in the. lane, making up the five. The whole wes sold for forty-four pounds. Mr. CASDERD, (or the defendant, perfectly coincid ed with Mr. Serjeant Pell upon the importance of the cause—he could not say to the plaintiff, but—to the defendant ; tot the result of a verdict against birth would be, not only to take a sum of money front him, but to rob him if his feir character, which. hitherto had beers unimpeached. The action 'Was not brought to recover a tompensa:ion tor injury, but to inflict double penalty for misconduct; ►he question ultimately to be submitted was a mixed question of law and 12E4 the due interpretation of which he could not conceive would bring the defendant within the province of an Act introduced for the benefit a landlords. What is the situation of Sir Henry Pro= theree—has he or has he not received rent ? Does the defendant owe him any Or has he not got back all the things, and sold them for his benefit ? Where, then, the importance of this action ? Why, to get out of the pocket at the defendant double the value of the goofs. To deal with this case as be t wren man and man—for though he had great respect for Sir H. Protheroe, it was his duty to watch over the interest of the ckientlant; he thought no one could look at the case, and not see cleatly and distinctly the following objections :—I st, Were the goods frauds. lastly conveyed away ? 2dly, Was the defendant with guilty inowledge assisting e &fly, Was it in order to d. teat the dist, ss of Sir H. Protheroe Unless these objections were got over, it was impossible the Verdict could be for the plaintiff. John Kid.leil proved cite signature of Wilkins to a bond for ,E(H► due to defendant. Mr. S..rjeaint PELL uhnrtly replied. The learned Jruait, in his charge, observed, that from what he had heard in eulogy of H. Pro- there* on cne siJe, and the contrary on the other, and from some observation the short time he had been in Bristol, he felt the greater necessi; y of cautioning. the Jury to decide upon matters of fact ; if ever they forgot this, the Constitution would be un,:ermined. With respect to the action, it was founded upon a wholesome law, to prevent tenants from plundering their estates to the injury of their landlords ; and be should content himself with this remark upon the present case—that it was the duty of those wird insti. toted this suit to have applied at once to a Justice of Peace, who had power to inflict the penalty, and not to have had recourse to so expensive a process : how. ever, as it was now before them, equal justice must be administered ; and the question f er tb:: Jury was, whether there existed a knowledge of the intended distress and coocealnient of the goods on the part of the defendant ?—Verdict for Defendant.. NEwcAsr ASEIZES. Jame:O'Neil was charged with making an assault on George Aegis, on the 30th of October, and taking from him a canvass purse containing three promissory notes for ale payment of £1 each, and 18s. or 19s. on the King's higheety. Mr. Coolcsow opened the proceedings, by stating the (acts detailed in the following evidence: George Angers deposed, that he was a carrier, and lived at Mickley. He attended the Cow-bilk fair. held on the Town Moor of Newcastle, on the SOth of October last, arid was returning home about eight o'clock in the evening, when II: was attacked lby some villains: He was on horseback, jogging slowly on, as be expected some fliends to overtake him. When he had reached the end of Galiotvgate. and was so near the town as to derive a little betiefi: from the lamps, he discvered three or tour men OR the road. They went behind his horse, when one of them struck him on the arm, and another on his head, with what he imagined to be a short stick.-- They soon brought hint down, and he fell Ott his back. At %his tame he had in t.is possession a canvass purse. containing three 20s. notes, and 18s. or 19s. in silver. 'they then got on his body, some with their knees and others with thkir arms. They searched all his pockets, and took out b;s purse. He was then as sober as he was now. After they had done this, he became almost silly, and kaki to them YOU may take my money, but spare my life." One of them answered—. , D—n him, kill the fel. low." By this time he had called Murder I" two or three times. He was almost killed, and could not tell when they left him, for he was quite insensible.-- The prisoner at the bar was very like one of the men, but he could not swear he was one. It was dark that night, but fair weather. He was very much hurt : his shoulder was put out of joint, and his collar bone broken. The coestable having pro duced the parse in Court, witness identified it, and added, that be knew it from its having a hem on the wrong side. John Amgas, no relation to the prosecutor, recot. lected on rue night of the 90th of October hearing the cry of s• Murder !" He was standing at his door, with one Winter and his brother, about half past eight o'clock. He heard the cry repeated tette - several times I but did not go the first time, because he thought it was an idle call. Atter the third ety, be went with Winter to the spot whence it proceeded, and the &it thing :Ivy am was a ems with hi • '
