This was a causeof nullity of marriage, promoted by Jo : I -.Libard, Esq. against Sarah Rddbard, his wife, by reason of a former marriage. It was clearly established in this case by exhibits and witnesses produced, that the husband of the first marriage was living at the time the second marriage was solemnlzed, and therefore the Court pronounced the same marriage null and void. KEMPE V. THE REV. MR. wicks; This was a suit promoted by a Mr. Kempe, of eal iiinistical Independence, against the Rev. Mr. Wicks, Rector of a parish in Somersetshire, for refusing to bury a child belonging to two parishioners, on the/ ground of the child having been baptized by a Dis senting Minister. was contended on the part of the Rev. Mr. Wick;, th at the administering of this Sacrament must be performed by a lawful Minister of the established Church of England, otherwise such baptism was to be considered as null and void, both by the ancient and modern Rubrics, Canon . Law, and various other authorities, quoted by the Learned Civilians on the subject. The Coma (Sir John Nicholl) after hearing the Counsel on behalf of the promoter of the suit, who veryiageniously contended to the contrary effect; was of opinion (after entering at considerable length into the various authorities upon the point in question), that the Rev. Mr. *ids had mistaken the law, that it was his duty to have performed the ceremony, and therefore admitted the articles, at the same time re commending, as this suit was not brought by Mr. Kempe throuv,h any vindictive spirit, but only for the purpose of determining the right, and setting the question at rest, that he would be satisfied with ear -1 recting the error, and establishing the right, without proceeding any further in the cause. COURT OF KING'S tENCHi DEC. IS. lICSTWICH V. JACKSON. This was an action brought by the Third Mate, acting as Second of a transport, against the Captain of the ship, for an assault committed while the vessel was taking in her cargo at the Rio de Janeiro. The Mate was on his watch, between two and three o'clock in the morning ; he was connected with the owners of The vessel, and had written a letter to them about the ship, which he offered to shew to the Captain. The Captain abused him, calling him the cousin of the ship—a spy a-board—and kicked him out of his cabin, where he had called the plaintiff from his watch, loading him with abuse ; and, among other oppro brious appellations, calling him coward. The plain tiff did not resist the assault ; but stood and bore it, with Ills hands in his breeches-pockets. The defen dant then fetched his pistols, one of which only he loaded, and challenged the plaintiff to fight, offering him the unloaded pistol,and telling him that ifhe would not immediately fight, at 20 paces, he would shoot him dead, and esteem him as a coward. The plain tiff refu?ed the pistol ; and the defendant actually cocked the loaded pistol, and presented it within a 'quarter of a yard of hit bream The defendant re newed his challiage9 and save the pistols to a Witneili 4 4, • Whit offered the pislintit his tholes of them, which he alto refused. Mt. GAnaotv addresi.id the Jury for the defendant, Who, he said, had no witnesses to call, all the crew who were in England being, as one of the .witnesses, had said the defendant had called them, confederates The fact was, that the defendant's . - ship had been greatly pillaged, and strietilesi bedinilb his duty. The defendant had turned A 60,000 foi:hisieMployers, but was now left by . them a ruined MO. • Lord ELLEN BOROUGH observed; that this pillage was most likely made by persons bri shore in Sidney Cove ; and, at any rate, the • defendant might there have appealed to summary justice, for any complaint he haa. His Lordship commended the, plaintiff's cool forbearance under the assault, outrageous As- it was, and left it to the Jury to consider What fail- da mages would remunerate him for the injury h&had received. The Jury found their verdict fbr the plaintiff with 8100 damages. JONES V. HUDSON: 1111 This was an action against the Defendant, a butth6. The declaration stated, that the Defendant was possesied of a vicious ox, which he neglected to tie up and secure, whereby it gored the Plaintiff.— A second count stated, that by his servants he so negligently conducted himself is driving the ox, that the Plaintiff wAs thereby much gored and bruised. Mr. JEKYLL as Counsel for the prbsecution, slated the circumstances of the case, and which the evidence detailed as follows : The Defendant hering two oxen at Plaistow, near Stratford, in Essex, sent his lad to fetch them up for the purpose of being slaughtered at his house, near St. James's Market. The lad accordingly went, and brought the beasts quietly as far as Stratford. There one of them took (right, and ran off full speed to wards London. The boy could not overtake him until he got to Whitechapel. There, by the assist ance of some other butchers, he stopped him, but previous to that, the ox in Whitechapel met a truck drawn by two dogs, which the beast made furiously at. The man ran away, but the poor dogs being harnessed to the truck, could not escape, and the ox tossed them and the little cart into the air. From thence the beast ran towards the Strand, goring a boy near the Temple, and a lad at the corner of Norfolk saver. The Plaintiff, who was a milkman, was com ing along with his pails. The bullock made imme. diately at him, and tossed him as high as the upper Part of the door, he fell upon the pavement, and was considerably hurt. The witness who drove the ox said, he was quiet in the stall at Plaistow, and shewed no symptoms of being iicious, until he got to the Turnpike.road. . . Lord Eumanottouctt observed, there was no evi • dente that the Defendant knew the animal was vici out, and on that ground the Plaintiff was nonshited. PRRJURY.—TIIS KING v. MORRIS. ThC ATTOPIRY-dENERAL stated this to be a pro secution for wilful and corrupt perjury against the defendant Elizabeth Morris. She was a person \vim derived a fortune of about so,ooo► Under the will of an old lady of the name cf,Parzott,.aud these was a family of the name of Alderson, to whom the same lady had left about £l3OO, and it was supposed that the defendant had grudged that family that sum out of the bulk of the fortune which the derived under this will. The false oath which she had taken was this— " That Mary Alderson said she would not deliver the diamonds to the servant of the said Elizabeth Morris, but if she would come and dine with the said Mary Alderson, they would look them over together, and she might take them : and sheaved her two diamond rings the property of the testatrix, which she wished her to take away only with other things." This was the oath on which the perjury was assign ed, and Mrs. Alderson, her two daughters and her son, and also Mr. Orrell, their attorney, were present at the conversation in which this was said to have taken place ; they swore ;7-rsitively that it never did take place at all, nor could it, for they had no dia. monds belonging to the testatrix ; but all they said was, that if she left any diamonds, they must be at her banker's with her plate ; and Mr. Fournier, the defendant's father, and her attorney, were present, neither of them was called to support her oath. Mr. GARROW, who was Counsel for the defendant, was compelled to deliver her up to the justice in mercy. The Jury found her Guilty. corwr OF COMMON PI.EAS, DECEMBER 6. Enissori V. PARKER. This was an actio►i brought by the Plaintiff, who was a servant, to recover damages for false implison ment against her master, who is a reputable house keeper in Cheapside. The facts stated in evidence were shortly these.— The Plaintiff lived two years in the Defendant's ser vice, during which period she had conducted herself with propriety. A few months ago, her master went to live at Croydon for a short time, and left the Plain tiff in charge of his house in town. On his return to town, some articles of house linen in the Plaintiff's care were missing, of which she could give no ac count satisfactory to her master. Sns - picion arose, and the Defendant searched the house for the articles; and on examining the locks of his chests, drawers, iron chest, and other places of security, he perceived such marks of violence upon many of them, as con vinced him that attempts had been used to force them ; which,• with his previous suspicions, induced in him a belief that the Plaintiff was concerned in, or privy to, the attempts. He accordingly sent fora peace officer, and took the Plaintiff before the Lord Mayor, in order for examination ; and in con sequence of the evidence he gave, and, at his desire, she was committed to the Poultry Compter on the Friday afternoon, and brought up again for further ' examination next day, when, after some rut ther en quiry, she was remanded again until the following . Monday. Her boxes, in the mean time, were search ed ; but nothing was discovered therein, which could justify any conclusion of guilt. On her final exami nation, therefore, she was discharged by the Chief ' Magistrate ; and, in a few days afterwards, the miss ing property was found, and the Plaintiff stood vindi cated from any charge of guilt, and was advised to bring her action. The Defendant simply put in a plea of Not Guilty, and the Jury, after a very short consultation, found for the Plaintiff—Damages £2O. , w WIC - ' THZATRA: The excellent Comedy of John Ball was performed last night at this Theatre, to an applauding and well ' pleased audience. The Farce of the Farmer followed, but not a Word of it was heard, notwithstanding the union of the first talents in the house. There are some excellent songs in this piece, and we Muth re gretted the deprivation of that pleasure they have always afforded to the lovers of taste or drollery.— The highest decorum prevailed till half-price, if we except a joke from the upper part of the house : in the scene where Shuiletoa pre3ents the Baronet with a pinch of snuff, a voice called out Take care you don't sneeze,"_ which excited rather a smile than a laugh. After half price the row commenced, by coughing ; but there was very little storm till the I play was over. When honest Thornberry asserts, that be would stAy there till the roof fell but some one of them should come to him, a zealous 0. P. exclaimed from the Pit, we'll stay here till the roof ! falls for 0. P. which met with a partial cheer.— Howling, shrieking, groaning, catcalls, cock-crow ins., and a little barking, were resorted to during the Farce•with the usual success. No instruments of discord, however, were used, but the voice, which was perfectly sufficient to drown the performance. There were several mock attempts to turn out indi viduals, but of course without success, which were accordingly followed with shouts and cheers. A sham boxing match appeared to afford much mirth to the knowing ones. The various attitudes, and threat. ening aspect of the combatants, appeared porten tous of-much mischief, and displayed the utmost rage and violence of temper, which all terminated, how ever, in a horse laugh. We did not &mice a Police Officer in the Pit the whole evening, n•r do .we understand that any person was taken up. The pit was by no means full, and was aided considerably by the gallery. The usual loyalty was displayed. We observed only the following placard, which was not . heisted more than once, and scion after destroyed s " May the freedom of the peopleiever be under the Protection of a Jury." We only discovered two 0. P.'s in the pit displayed in the hat, and one person had thewords d Old Prices' cut out io paper, instead of the more usual insignia. An honest barber presented himself to the attention of the house as a candidate for oratorical fame. He stated, that he had long turned and twisted the subject of the 0. P. grievances in his mind ; and from the best consideration he could give it, he was clearly of opinion that the Managers ought to have a good '. dressing. (ilisidaure). Had , he but the cue in the bu siness, he would be the first to recommend them it good lathering. It was a grievous hardship upon the ! public, who were already shaved so close by the taxes 1 and other impositions of the country, that they should yield to the grinding avarice of players.—(Loud sit- I plasm:, and acclamations of " The Shaver for ever P')--. A considerable uproar prevailed in the House as soon as he finished his harangue, and shortly after he was carried out in triumph. . One of the sham martyrs whom the 0. P.'s pre tended to put out, had previously half stripped him self, and, though he got several tumbles among ills benches, seemed to.be very much satisfied. with the' conduct of his friends.—There were no banns's; nightiaps, noses, or 0. P. ladies to give a zest to the yew, and the pit was once or twice so despondent, as to let the farce be heard. The 0. P. dance was called for, but could not be compassed ; the galleries piped to I it, but the pit did not dance. A decent shout, howeyer, was given, when the curtain closed for the evening,and then a roaring-boy in the pit shouted out something, which ended with ~ three cheers for a British Justy. ' —The eters were given ; and then the pit took to hooting the company in the private boxes.— Something like the 0. P. dance was then painfullyl attempted; but the pit soon left the Theatre, roaring for an uproar, which they were not numerous enough to effect. A rabble of criers of O.l'. hal f boys, who never were in the Theatre in their lives, then paraded down Holywell-street, preceded by two or three horns, I 1 knocking at every door they came past, and groaning or shouting at the newspaper offices. The Bishop of LONDON was elected, on Thursday, a Governor of the Charter House, in the room of the late Duke of PORTLAND. KING'S THEATRII.—TIIiS grand and fascinating. place of amusement opened yesterday evening with a new Opera, called La Sconimessa, a Ballet, and a new Divertissement. The vocal department - of the Opera has received the addition of Madame BIANCHI'S strength, and is about to receive that of a female singer who has lately been singing before BONAPARTE.— The ballot department has lost the DESIIAYESES, and has gained Maine. Noes; but the great accession it has received is to be looked for in the change of M. D'EGviLLE for Signor Rossi, as ballet-composer.— The house was well attended, considering the earE ness of the season. A Comedy, written by Mr. Cosa, is in rehearsal at the Lyceum. HANNAH MORE'S ‘ , ..Ccelebs" has given rise to two new works, which from the nature of their contents are expected to excite considerable interest in female society : the one is entitled Celia Suited, the other The Real Lucilla—the former is the production of a Lady well known in the Literary World, but whose name we are not at liberty to mention. During the heavy gale yesterday morning, above 40 transports started from their moorings at Dept ford, and drove to Blackwall. Several small crafts tilled with water. We hre'beard of no lives being lost.
