LarAtEZ:i.MEATCE.. IMEROGATIVE COURT, 3ULY 18. MANHIRS V. TB! RIGHT HON. WARY COIIRNTRis MONLY CALLED LADY MARY DEERRURST. Thit was a procr cling on the part of Miss Laura Manners, the executrix of the late Duthess of St. Albans, who was executrix of the late Duke of St. Albans, for the purpose of proving his Grace's will, which was opposed by Lady Deerhurst, his Grace's daughter by a former wile, who took no benefit under it. By the will, which was dated the 18th of July, 1814, his Grace bequeathed the whole of his property, real and personal, unto or in trust for the Duchess, declaring, that Lady Deerlsurst had x very ample provision under the macrrage-settlement of her mother, to which he did not deem it necessary to make any itddition. His Grace had executed a Will in the month of May, 1812, of nearly the same purport. • One of the subscribing witnesse s to th at w ill had let his service; and he being apprehensive that his will would he dic. puted by Lord and Lady Deethurst, caused it to he re-copied for execution, with sgme inconsiderable al terations, and executed it accordingly on the 18th of July, 1814. The instructions for this will by the Duke, and the necessary fo r m a li t i es o f i ts execution, were fully proved by the three attesting witnesses, and the Court therefore pronounced in favour of its validity. COURT OF COMMON FLEAS, JULY IS. KIMBLE v. WOOD. This was an action against the Lord Mayor, to re cover damages for false imprisonment. The plaintiff was a journeyman sugar-baker, and was engaged by his employer for the term of twelve montl.s, at a cer tain rate of wages, to which an addition was to be made of 10s. a-week for board. The plaintiff and three others, alter their engagement, dery tnded an iocrease of 2s. upt:n the latter suns ; anJ on being re fused, left the work upon which they were employed unfinished. On beino taken into custody, and car :lA before the Lord Maycir, they were convicted of the offence, and sentenced to one month's imprison. ment, according to the provisions of the Act of '2O Geo. 11. c. 19. The present action was grounded upon an informality in the commitment. The Act empowers any single Justice to commit the offender in cases of this description " to the 1 - t.)nsi: of Correction, there to remain and be corrected, and held to !lard labour, for any time not exceeding nee calendar month." In this case the commitment did not express the words in the clause, " and be correc ted;" and the question wss, whether the commitment was so far vitiated by the omission as to render the defendant liable of the present actior.? Mr. Serjeant BasT, for the Plaintiff, contended that ail commitments grounded on Acts of Parlia ment must be conformable to the method therein pre. scribed. This was a principle whiel had been vita- Wished by a variety of decisions, and the words of the Act in question were peremptory, and left no room for distinction. The SOLICITOR GENERAL observed, t!.at it was im possible the Legislature could have: ever meant to deprive the Magistrate ot the disctrtion to abate and modify the putUsliment, accordvig to the circum stances of the offence, within the poshive limit which was prescribed. The wood, " and to be corrocted" prub.ibly referred to the general correction of man rsers which the other part ot the punis.qoent was 1 , ,- tended t , , produce. Mr. Setje ant BEST cited a case from East's Report, in w'lich it had been ruled by Otf Cunt of King's Bench, that the words of the Act implied the cor poral caligati.ni of whipping. The SoLict con-GENERA Lsaid, if such was the settled construction of the clause, he could only trust that, un a complaint of this nature, ele Jury would think the smallest sum that could be it stied by his Majesty's mint would furnish ample compensation for Any in. jos y which the plaintiff had received. The Cr u m? Jusrice agreed with the Solicitor Ge neral, that the decision of the Court of King's Bench, of which be had not been awate, must necessa:ily operate to send this (I.u:scion to the Jury. His orig;aal doubt bad been, whether tl.e watrant might lit be amended so as to give the plaintiff the full benefit of the act, ot which benefit I.e complained that •he had been deprived. The Jury would deal with the case as they thought a matter of this nature deserved.— Verdist fur the plaintiff—Damages one fartang. OLD DAILEY. Yesterday John Fisher was indicted for bigamy, he having married Ruth Elco:ks, his former wife being then Alive. The Rev. R. K. Chapman deposed, that he was, in the year 1812, officiating Ministerof Mary 14 Bonne church. He produced the register of mar riage, dated the 13th of June, 1812. between John Fisher ;•ni.l Mary Arnold. Sarah Kennel, the sistet o f th e first wife, deposed, that her sister .4r.(1 the pt ironer left her house to be married at Mary cl..tirch, on the 13th of June, 1812. Her sis ter is alive. The prisoner left his wife entirely in November last. _ _ y Jones, fellow-servant witl► the second wile, szsid he had changed hits 11/Mt; to Jobe Ingram, under which name he was married to the second wife. William Hammond, the Parish clerk of Padding prodixed a register of marriage between John ingram and Ruth Elcock, on the 13th of Febrnar y, I Sl6. He was perfectly certain that the prisoner WAS the ma n who had married under the name of John J►igran►. Toe prisoner in his defence said, that his first wife had sold all his goods, and had left him with a child to support. He said, besides that, their separation was by mutual consent, as he could prove by a writ ten agreement. The ',tattled SEIIJEANT said, that any such agree. anent, even if it did exist, was of no force or autho. thy to aber the law in the case of marriage ; and with respect to the crime itself, of which the prisoner stood indictee, it was one which was far from being entitled to lenity. It was an aggravated species of seduction, entailing disgrace and ruin on a betrayed and innocent woman. He then summed up the evi dence at great length with much candour. He ob. berted there could be no doubt whatever of the fallacy of what the prisoner had stated respecting his first wife, from his changing his name, and also from the virtuous and irreproachable character she was un questionably stated to bear by all who knew her. In answer to a question from one of the Jury, she 'Amos stattd v that a very erroneous opinion prevailed among • lie ioiainaa Pee . o, that although marriage had been contracted, it was not valid Unless the parties had slept together. This he begged to assure the Jury and the Public was a gross Mistake, and abso. lately contrary to law. The law considered a mar. riage to be as valid after the solemn yews at the altar, as if the parties had lived together. He wished this opinion to be made known, as it was the unani mous sentiment of all Lawyers for the last century, and had been particulary decided in a case before the late Mr. JCSTICZ LE BLANC at the Surrey As sizes, last summer. The case was as follows A young woman had been conned by a young man, between whom and herself there was a mutual affection, and an agreement that they should be mar ried. It happened, however, very unluckily, that the young man, in one of his wooing visits, Mut oduced to his mistress a friend, who was much richer than him self, and though that circumstance had no effect on the steady attachment of the Lady, it was made use of to influence her father to prefer the new ac quaintance, who had become enamoured of his daughter, to the old lover. True to her vows and prompted by amouroas ardour, rather than by filial duty, she went off with her lover. But they were overtaken, and by the double operation of persuasion and command, she yielded to her father's will, and married the rich suitor. Thia, however, was done with a secret reserve in favour of her former lover, and, feigning an.occasion to go home for something she said she wanted, she turned her back on the hrid:gronm, and ran into the arms of the man she keel, and whom she presently married, persuading herself that the prior ceremony being unconsummated, aas no euffick-nt obstacle to the indulgence t,f her inclination. In that perstresiou she treind herve f egregiously mistaken, for the Learned Judge felt it his duty to teach ' her, that a contact so solemn, made in the presence of Goo, as that of marriage, was not to be so lightly evaded, and he sentenced her, as the slightest punidiment he could inflict, to six months imprisonment in the county gaol. The Jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty, but expressed a wish to recommend him to me rcy. The COMMON: SERJEAST could no:, in the consci entir•ius discharge of his duty, second any such recum. mendatiou. 'ffie case of this individual was a mod ti &grant violation of duty. lie had been guilty of the worst species ol perjury, in solemnly swearing at the altar of I . llm who liveth for ever and ever, that I e knew no impediment to hinder him in neirrying this girl, while at the lime time he knew his miserable and ill-treated wife was alive, and he had also been guilty of seduction s in entailing disgrace and woe on the .girl he so falsely mar ried, whose children, if she any, w ere ilh.gitiniate, and herself pr e clud e d trom the honourable hands of lawful wedlock. The misery of the last wile was inexpressible, and the Jury might judge the sitoratiou of the first, when they were told she was at this nionient mar the time of her de livery of :t second child to the prisoner. Considering, a; he dial, this case to be the most itigitiotts he had ever s •en, be assured the prisoner that the severi-st punishment of the law (traniportatien) would inf libly be award.ll to him. His case deserved nothing but the most rigorous treatment. Michael Smith wag indicted for stealilg acoat, value 15i. the property of Sir J. GlailAlll, Bart. A for t. man of Sir Jarnei Graham deposed, that his master Ivied at N). 1, t'ortlaud-place. .On the morning of the 4th w duly, he went and unlocked the area gate, And then went to clean his knives. While he was thus to.ployed, the prisoner came down the area steps, and went up to the hall, where he took the coat off a peg. A wanzian gave him information, and he tollb*ed him, and wok trim into custody in .Princes-street, Oxford street, with the coat rolled up in his apron. He identified the coat, as being the property of his master.—The Jury found him Gullty, but - recommended him to mercy, on account of the miserable appearance he had, and his age' being 62. John 1114xlvgl, a man of colour, was indicted for stealing a bed as al bolster, on the Silt June, from his furnished ',nights., the propeity of Jane G00416:1,1. The prosecutrix deposed, that the prisoner had paid her one week's lodgin, 4s. but in elie middle of the following week, on the night of the ith of June, he went to bed, between eleven and twelve o'clock at night—she heard nothing until the morning, when a constable called on her, and asked het it she had lost any th:tig? She answered in the negative. He then inquired if a man of colour had tint lodged in her house ? She went up stairs, and found the articles in the indictment missing. —John Elariore, a watchman belonging to the parish of St. Dunstan's, deposed, that he met the prisoner between the hours of three and four o'clock in the morning, in Fleet -street, with a bundle on his back, he stopped him and asked him what be had got there? lie answered, his own pro perty ; not believing, him, he took him to the watch house. The prosecutrix identified the property to be hers.—The prisoner put in a written defence, that he had been eight years a soldier in this country's service; that he had applied to the Duke of York's Office for relief, but got none; that he then applied to the parish officers of the parish of St. Dunstan's, but they refused to give him relief ; he stood one Sunday at the door of St. Dunstan's awe!), and only received one penny ; he h4d used every endea vour to obtain work, without effect ; when he took the things, be had not ate any thing for three days. The Jury brought in a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner is 36 years of age. Edward Spring was indicted for stealing a pocket. handkerchief from Robert Adamson, Esq. in %%rya.. sweet, St. Clement's, Strand. Mr. Adamson deposed, that he was walking up Wych-street on the day hid in the indictment about three o'clock ; he found some persons rather close to him, but had no idea of his pocket being picked; he Tut his hand into his pocket, and found that his handkerchief was gone. A young man came up and pointed out two persons, and said, one of them took it and gave it to the other. He took hold of the pri soner and searched him, and (mica the handkerchief on his person, under his waistcoat.—Thomas Crew►, a journeyman hair-dresser, residing in Wych-street,' deposed, that he was looking out at the door of his employer's house, when he SAW two men twice search at the prosecutor's pocket ; the second time they suc seeded to draw the handkerchief out of his pocket. The person who did it gave the handkerchief to the prisoner, who put it into his bosom, and then rushed past the prosecutor with great force. He immediately went and informed the prosecutor, who searched the. prisoner, arid. too' b ite io fi - n - itreei -- other made his tscape.—James John Smith, one of the BoW-street officers, depoied, that the prisoner wait delivered over to him, and on searching him, he fontid another handkerchief in his bosom. The prisoner, in his defence, said, that the person who gave hint the handkerchief was a total stranger to him. Several witnesses gave him a good characttr: The Jury found Ltim Guilty; aged 21, Mum Levy was indicted fur stealing a tsocket handkerchief from the person of William Corvine, a head' ormigh of Shoreditch naris'i, value :Is. on the 7th of June, at Biw Fair.—lle was found Guilty.

In the evening of yesterday, the Heath, as usual, was very crowded ; and the concourse of persons who have daily re paired thither, particularly from town, besides those that have cruised the water daily to Greenwich, has been immense; and this morning he made good his 1068th mile.— EaroN's enemies having endeavoured to obstruct him, more p.irticulatly in the night time s his friaids, who accompanied him the whole • f last night, to.ik precautions io prevent tl.e like occurrence being repeated ; —one patty goes bel.re and the other behind him.
