Wright and James - Hymns, on the said Mary, and for Which riot and as- ' aault a bill.hf indictment was afterwards preferred at ' e4e Quarter Sessions for the County - Of Middlesex,.) against the said Sophia , a nd she was brou g ht to trial at the Sessions after Easter 1809, and was acqltitted. Mr. PARKE having stated the case on the part of the Plaintiffs, the record of the acquittal of Sopfiia Ctook was given in evidence. An officer belauging to the Public Office, Hatton garden, proved Mrs. rook'e having been served by him, at thealeendant's - desire; with the copy of -the warrant taken out against her at that of f ice, in conse •quance of which she attended at the office, and gave bail to take her trial. Two other witnesses also swore to the fact of Mrs. C. having attended the whole of a • Monday, and the greater part of a Tuesday at Clerk- Sessions, for the purpose of taking her trial for the riot and assault, with which she was charged by the defendants ; that, on the latter day, the defens dents ancLaheir witnesses were in Court till within elar.ut five minutes of the time when the case was called on ; that not then appearing to prosecute, Mrs. C. was fotind not guilty ; and that, on going dpwn the stairs leading from the Court, Mrs. Crook and her - friends were met by Mr, Conway, who; addressing her, said," You have escaped from my clutches once, but I am not done with you yet." Mr. Getneow submitted to his Lordship, that,•un der the decision in the case of Purcell and Mama, :natal, the plaintiffs must go a great deal farther to make eta their case. Lord ELLENBOROUGH was of opinion, that the wit nesses for the plaintiff had proved words that im ported malice, and it did not yet appear that the de fendant had probable cause of holding Mrs. Crook to bail. There was, therefore, at present, case enough to be left to the Jery. A Witness was then adduced for the Defendants, who proved low and disgusting language to have passed, but no act on the part of Mrs. Crook which amounted to a riot or an assault. Lord Eat estaottovottatherefore, held, that the two great requisites in such cases as the present had been complied with, namely, specific malice, in the words uttered by the defendant ; and that there was no pro bable cause of holding Mrs. Crcok to bail. The Jury found-for the Plaintiffs—Damages R 5. THE KING O. WITHERS AND OTHERS. Mr. Tommy; stated this to be an indictment charg ingW. Withers and Phillips, two Sheriff's Officers, Mr. Carter Draper, an Attorney of Ceuta ; Mr Fea thers, whose name the Jury had already heard during the present Sittings, as being keeper of the Guildhall Coffee-house, and two persons named Siddons and Duke, who were Bailiffs' followers, with breaking and entering the kitchen garden-gate of the prosecutor, Josiah Copland, with pursuing him out of his pleasure grounds, which were between his house and his kitchen garden, to his dwelling-house door, the outer door of %s lick he having secured by bolting it at the top, they forced, by bursting off the cap of the bolt, which also carried with it part of the wood-work of the door; and having thus gained admission, under a real or pretended execution against the goods of the prosecu tor, with beating the prosecutor in a most violent man ncr. The Learned Counsel need hardly tell the Jury, Oat nothing could justify any Of f icer , o r an y other v erson, in breaking into any man's house, • far less in assaulting the keeper of the house after he 14AI so broken in ; and if it should appear that Mr. Draper, who was the attorney in the business, had the super. intendatice of it, and though he might not be origi. nally present, was concealed in the pigeon-house while , the breaking and entering took place, he must be equally responsible with ail the others concerned in the viul,nce thus committed. Josiah Copland said, that he lately resided hi Lower Edmonton. - On the morning of the 21st of May last be went out from his house to his garden, for the pur -1 pose of unlocking the gate of it. In his kitchen-gar • den he observed six men concealed, who immediately rushed towards him, on which be, with equal expedi iiini,t tired to his house by the side door, out of which he had prOcteded, which was equally with the door in front on outer door to his house. Having got into his house by this door he fastened it, and bolted it by means of the upper holt. The men followed him, and burst the door open, In consequence of which the cap of the bolt was forced off, and part of the upper part of the woad-work of the door gave way. They then knocked the witness down a telling him if he made any . resistance, that drat would have his bloody melt or his .hlaraly gut. When the .witnesshad recovered, he followed the men into the kitchen, where lie saw them with some plate in their hand, and also with a £lO tai.k note, which he had just given to his servant to get changed. He told the men that he did not con eels e they had any business with his money, on which two of them dragged hint to the-stairs, against which they bent him upon his back, whiletwo others of them be.it hint, telling him they would murder him: The witness at this time felt quite exhausted, and begged they would spare his life. Mrs. Copland then came down in her night clothes—one of the Officers threat ened to knock her down, but Siddoas., one of the thh • lowers, pi everaesi him, observing, they had done enough already. In consequence of the assault made • on the witness , be , was blind for three days—his jaw bone was dislodged, the Imhof which he still retain ed, and he verily believed at the time that be should have lost his sight. When he came to himself he was all covered with bkod. Withers was the first person * who struck him, Phillips was the other ; Siddons he knew was also there, and from him he knew the names . of the other defendants. Cross-examined — He believed, but would not swear that Mr. Draper, whom be knew well, was one of the • six. Ile confessed having two guns in his house, one of which•he always kept loaded ; but denied that he had presented either of them to all or either of the party who thus visited his p remises. In particular, he denied that Phillips, one of the officers, having run from his garden head along with the prosecutor, had -_-..---........i•m101 arrived in the hence at the same moment with the rrosecutor, and that, on the prosecutor's presenting the gun against Philips, he then, to save himself, knocked Em down. Several other witnesses were examined, who in part ' corro'oorated the story of the prosecutor, particularly :is to marks of violence appearing on his own person, and on the doors of his garden and dwelling-house. A person of the name of Richards, who was the Parish Officer; proved that he had been called into the house by the Sheriff's Officers to keep the peace for them ; that he did not observe any outrage or rudeness on the part of the Sheriff's Officers, but that the contrary was the fact—Copland was rather vio-1 lent, and was using the Officers ill. Copland, too when he (the officer) was thus called in by the She. riffs Officers, did not point out to him any marks of breaking into his house or gardens. Mrs. Copland proved that her husband was in a very exhausted state when she, alarmed by his cries. of murder, came down stair., and found him lying on his back, and two of the Officers beating him.— One of them attempted to strike her, but the stroke was prevented by Siddons, one of the followers, hold ing out his arm to prevent it. There were several towels covered with her husband's blood, from his eye, the sight of which she was, at one time, convin ced he must have lost. She now knew Feathers, who, on the day on which the execution was followed up, came into the house of the prosecutor, and demanded the keys of the back parlour, which being refused, he broke it open with his foot, saying that he had a key at the bottom of his boot. Mr. GARROW, for the Defend ints, undertook to give a complete answer to the case on the part of the prosecution ; but his proof not answering to his in structions, except in so far as Mr. Draper was con cerned, he was obliged to abandon the defence as to all the Defendants except him. Mr. TOPPING said, as against Mr. Draper he had not meant to press for a verdict. He was glad that he, as a professional man, had not been guilty of any such proceeding as that now charged ; and, as he was a professional man, he thought it but justice to him to say so. Lord Elam:snot:Gm said, as the evidence stood, there could be no doubt as to the guilt of four of the ' Defendants, Withers, Phillips, Siddons, and Duke. Of the remaining two, Feathers was proved to have taken a part in the trespass at eleven o'clock, in the day, by breaking .open a back parlour door; he must therefore be esteemed as privy to the original trespass. As to Draper, he was never seen to have been present; and even if he had been the person seen to drop from the pigeon -house, such would not have been enough to implicate him. The Jury immediately found Mr. Draper, Not Guilty ; and the ether five Defendants, Guilty. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FEBRUARY 19. STALE BILER.THIS KING B. BARCLAY. The Sommott-Gensaat. stated that this was an information against Barclay and Perkins, for receiving into their possession a quantity of Stale Beer, contrary to the provisions of the Act of Parliament. It had been the custom among some brewers to mix stale beer with the new, in order to give it the taste, colour, and fla vour of old beer—aad the Legislature, wi:h a view to preserve this article of general consumption in as pure a state as possible, had imposed a penalty upun the brewer for having stale beer in his possession. He disclaimed any idea of imputing to the defendants any intention of adulterating their beer, or acting impro perly in any way. But as this beer had, in fact, been found upon their premises, it was absolutely necessary to enforce the law ; for if they were to be passed over, , others might be encouraged to mix their porter with their stale beer, or some caber noxious ingredient. The man who drove the cart with the beer in ques tion, and the Excise Officer that discovered it, were called and proved, that the beer bad been 'taken to Messrs. Barclay and Perkins's premises, and that it was stale. _ _ _ . Mr. Serjeant VAUSHAN for the defendant, cross examined the carman, from whose testimony it ap peared, that he had driven the beer from the manu factory of Mr. Matthew, at Clerkenwell, this man then having a patent for preserving yeast. In order to get the yeast in sufficient quantity, Mr. M. had, agreed a ith six of the most eminent brewers, to send him the yeast in its fresh state. The whole was pal into a vat, and in short, by pressure, the solid sub stance was separated from the fluid, and a cake of yeast was formed, which preserved all its properties, however long it might be kept. It had been the re gular practice to take back the beer thus separated while still fresh—though in the case in question, it had by some accident been suffered to remain till it became stale.. The Learned Serjeant, after stating that no imputa tion had been, from any quarter, cast upon the inten tions of the defendants, maintained that the present case did net at all tome within the Act of Parliament. That Act had passed to destroy the practices of cer tain persons called Beer Doctors, who, by liquids ex. I [ratted from poisonous plants, such as coculus indicus —deadly night shade, &c. gave a ire colour and a good taste to beer. Nothing like this had ever been imputed to the defendants, and indeed it would have been the greatest absurdity in the world, in.persons of their extensive trade, to have recourse to such prac tices. The beer in question was all from malt and hops, like the rest of their beer—and as to its being stale, brewers must mix the old and new at times, in order to gratify the taste of their customers. The Act permitted brewers to take back stale beer if disliked by their customers—and why not receive it from this manufactory ? The*LORII CHIEF BARON stated that there were two distinct penalties in the Act —one, for having in pos session the noxious ingredients mentioned by the Learned Serjeant, and another for receiving and keep ing stale beer. He was sore no improper use was ever intended to be made of the beer in question ; and even though coculus indicus, or any other noxious ingre dient, had been found on the premises of Barclay and Perkins, he would have drank their beer without any scruple, because he might be certain that no improper use was to be made of them, since, to persons who stood in their eminence, their charactee was of much more importance than any paltry advantage from this, nractice. But the act, in his opinion, had been vio-. idted. It permitted brewers to ta k e b ac k sta l e b eer which ciid not please their customers—a proof that they were not permitted to take it back under any other circumstances. The Legislature had no such thing hi contemplation as this manufactory for the i preservatioa of yeast, otherwise - a further exception might have been admitted. It was a manufactory highly descrying cf encouragement. But as the law stood, he thought the defendants liable for this pe nalty ; but recommended an application to the Court, upon the construction of the Act. A Verdict was then taken for the Crown, subject to this reference. OLD BAILEr. Yesterday P . M Oldham and Ma Flexure, were charged with assaulting George Cooper, on the evening of the 7th of January, in Oldford lane, and taking Err= hints silver hunting watch, three one pound Bank of England notes, and between ten and fifteen shillings, in Aver, his property, as also a bill of exchange, for £llB. George Cooper, the prosecutor, deposed, that he was an auis tant to his father, who is a farmer at Oldford, in the county of Middlesex, that he was riding or horseback through Oldford lane, on the evening stated in the indictment; two :tenons in smock frocks were walking in the toad before him; it was a clear moonlight night, but before he overtook them, they separated from each other, and laid hold of his horse's bridle, ope on each side. A pistol was then presented to him by one of them, he be lieves by Pitmore. They then uttered something which he does not recollect; he however told them that they should have every thing he had. He then gave them three .et notes, some silver, from ten to fifteen shillings, as stated in the indictment, and a bill of exchange which be had that day tAen up at the banking house of Messrs. Masterman and Co. Lontisard-street. Oldham took hold of the chain of his watch, which he drew from his fob. the moon shone in the faces of the person) who attacked him ; but he had an opportunity of distinguishing that of one of thefts • more than the otter ; they did not use him ill ; they were only about a minute with bins. He certainly was a little alarmed, but ' not so much as might be expected. Learning that some persons were taken ep at Bow-street, en sitsp.cion, he went, and recog nised the prisoner Oldham, Pitmore he could not so positively swear to. lu hie cross-elimination, he allowed that the pt4soners had something drawn over their faces, which, in part, concealed them; but still he could not, in his conscience then, positively swear to the identity of Pitmore. John Upton, one of the Bow-street patrole, was next examin ed. He met the prisoners, Oldham and Pitmore, together, near the Shepherd and Shepherdess-fields, City-road, on Tuesday, the , Bth January,at about six.o'clock In the evening. Cross,Lloyd, and Abury, of Bow-street Office were with him. He observed Old. ham draw his hat down over his face, which excited his suspicion. be laid hold of him, while Cross took charge of Pitmore. H e asked Oldham if he had any pistols about him ? who said he had nut. He searched him, and found upon him a hot containing gun powder, a silver watch, four pieces of lead like bullets, a flan nel night cap, and an old silk handkerchief. He therefore secu red him. John Cross, of Bow-street Office, confirmed the testimony of the preceding wimeu, as far as related to their meeting Oldham and Pitmore together, and stated further, that while he held Pit more, he saw him throw a pistol over the fence, which he told Abury and Lloyd to look (or, while he searched the prisoner, found on him a silver watch, and a pocket-book containing some memorandums. He searched with a lanthern for the pistol, 4nd at length found it not charged, about six yards distant from the spot, in which they first met the prisoners. John Abury, also of Bow-street, substantiated the evidence of the former witnesses, as far as he was concerned. Mr. KNAPP asked Cross if he did not know that he should have 240 upon the conviction of the prisoners T upon which Mr. Justice Baiter observed, that the reward did not apply to this case, as it was not stated in the indictment to be a high•- rway robbery. Several witnesses were then examined as to the character of Oldham, which they stated tube that of an honest, industrious, mai bard working man. Mr. Justice BANAT, in making his charge to the-Jury, lamen ted that one of apparently so respectaisle a character should be placed in the disgraceful situation in which he now stood. With respect to Pitmore, the Jury must acquit him, as no evidence had been brought forward that affected him. The prosecutor could only swear positively to the person of Oldham. He then com mented upon the evidence with groat humanity, impressing upon the Jury, that although the priooners were found in a very suspi cious manner on the evening following the robbery, none of the property which had then' been found upon them had been idend. fied by the prosecutor. There were many parts of the evidence which were of a suspicious colouring, and if the Jury believed the testimony of Cooper, the prosecutor, they would find Oldham guilty ; but if they had any fair doubts as to his criminality, they should put the excellent character that had been girien of him in the favourable scale, and acquit both the prisoners. • The Jury, after about a quarter of an hour's consideration, found Oldham guilty, and acquitted Pitmere. Eleanor Devine, a decent looking young woman, 21-years of age, was capitally charged with stealing privately from the shop of Stevens and Croft, linen-drapers, in Oxford -street, on the 91st of January last, rate pieces of ribbon, value £3 10s. The priso ner came lato the shop of the prosecutors to purchase some sib bee ; the young man in the shop, James Robert Maggs, placed a drawer full of ribbons before her, and turned his attention to an other customer. He, however, perceived the prisoner put her handkerchief on the rawer several times, and as fremieutly put it again into her pocket. This excited Lis suspicion, which he com municated to Mr. Stevens, and the prisoner was then taken into' au inner room, but while they were waiting fur some of the female part of Mr. Stevens's family to come and search her, she contrived to break the string of her pocket, which she dropped under a chair la the room. la this pocket the property laid us the ',indictment was found, and she was given into custody. The charge on the part of the prosecution being proved, Mr. Stevens proceeded to identify the property, which he did to only throe pieces of ribbon, value 50s. so that the capital part of the charge was done away. For the petty felony, however, the Jury, under l the direction of the Judge, found the prisoner—Guilty. Anne Hussick, a decent looking winnau, about thirty years of age, who appeared at the bar with an infant in her arms, =dents then pregnant, was convicted of stealing a pair of stockings, In the shop of Thomas Thomas, in Shoreditsh. I The following were capitally convicted: Elia, Brown, for ihreakirg and entering the house of Catherine Purcell, arid steal ing a table cloth and other articles; and 1).

Atkins, for receiving a quantity of plate, the property of Cathe rine Barron, stolen by D. Kelly, I. Potter, for st Ming 197 ounces of Javier, the proferty of Messrs. Rundle and Bridge ; and J. Aaron, for receiving the same, knowing it to have been stolen. Thomas Jones was tried on an indictment, charging him with stealing xty pounds of flacon, in the dwelling-house of Thomas Pugh, in High Holborn, on the night of the sth of February, sad acquitted. Eleanor White stood capitally indicted for stealing a gold watch in the dwelling.lionse of Thomas Barrett, of Queen-street, Lin coln's-Inn-fields, but the proofs of her guilt not being satisfactory, she was acquitted.
