How careless meets our little wotid aria Sad only that such meeting comes so fiat— And whether more of pleasure, or of pain, Bath o'er the idle interval been cast, Is equal now—the motlty crowd throngs past; Some, whose first wond'ring gaze these scenes engage; Some who with calmer feelings look their last; And quit the precincts of life's happier age, To play a busier part upon a wider stage!

WOODBRIDGE SESSIO_VS. . 7ARIIII OFFICERS RAYING THEIR HUSBANDRY LA 130URRRS PART OF THEIR WAGES OUT 07 THE roon's FATES. At these Sessions, on Thursday, came on to be heard another appeal against the accounts of the late Churchwardens and Overseers of the parish of Hal lesley. The Rev. William Bolton, appellant; Mr. Jeptha Waller, churchwarden ; and Mr. Robert Bar thropp and Mr. Henry Lloyd, overseers; respondents. At the outset of the cause, Mr. JESSOPP took two legal . objections to the going into the appeal; but they were over-ruled by the Court, who expressed a hope that the parties would refer the matter to some persons on whom they could rely. Mr. NOLAN wished the Magistrates to take the accounts out of Court, and was willing to respite the appeal till next Sessions, when alt ends might be answered ; or he would refer it to Mr. Barton, Clerk of the Peace.—' Mr. Jessopp said, if a sincere reconciliation could be effected, lie would have it include all matters in dis pute. Mr. Nolan replied, he knew of only this dis pute : they must proceed with the appeal. Mr. Jet sopr then put in the book containing the accounts,' and said that was his case. Mr. Nolan asked him if he were in earnest ? he said, he was never more so. l Mr. Nolan said, that as there was nothing to refer, the whole extent of the appeal mist be allowed, for the accounts were confessed to be wrong. Mr. Jes. sort) said, let it be so; if a man be put to prove all his stems, every Officer, before he relieves a pauper, must have a Secretary to prove the payment. The notice, he said, was afoul libel, stating that many persons were employed by the Olcers for their own benefit, and paid from the parish fund. It contained scandalous and false accusations : if the officers had been guilty of such transactions, they ought to have been brought into that Court, not as officers but as criminals. (Here a question arose at to whi ch party should begin, and the Court decided, that the re spondents should begin.) A long desultory alterca tion ensued, which ended by Mr. Nolan proceeding to prove the objections of the appellant to the ac counts in question. The Learned Counsel said, a case of more importance to the county, or to the cquntyy, could not exist. The sums of money were either not paid, or paid collusively under the name of relief, but really fur wages, for very improper j purposes. Of such sums, only those which were paid' to the officers labourers were required. 01r. Nolan said he should prove that those officers (the respon dents) employed the greater part of the labourers'in the parish, that the labourers were able to work, and' that there was no want of work. He said that a man by his labour could support himself, a wife, and two or three children, and that when he had more, the House of tadustry afforded assistance ; and that, therefore, those labourers ought not to have received relief. In the year front Apiil 1817 to March 1818, the wages were lowered to 9s. to 6s. to 3s. and even to Is. and the remainder paid out of the rate. These officers employed other labourers, not parishioners, axt4 single men, at prow wages. Jollye for half a year had full wages, •but then, as soon as it was dis covered he belonged to Hollesley, his wages were lowered. Smith, when he worked in Hollealey, had' low wages ; when in another parish, he had full wages. Bridges received. ISs. per week, part of which, contrary to his knowledge, was from the pa rish ; he was thus made a pauper against his will.— 111 of these proceedings large farmers were ,benefited, and such small ones as employed no men, or few, -and sbopkeepers ' and others having no 140, sash persons as ought to be the peculiar objects of-protection, were obliged to pay, by way of rates, the .wages of the large occupiers. The appellant is rated to one-fourth of the whole parish, and has a"-Jout 27 acres of land. It will be proved, that this method of paying the labourers was used to lessen the'4alue of the Rector's tythes. Great griavances will arise, if this be not stopped. " Why, Mr. No lan asked, " compel the labourer to be maintained by the palish, when he can maintain himself? lade-. pendence is thus tales away, fig instead of a hardy, useful, industrious labourpp i fagr Ina. becomes a querulous and idle pauper. I regard these pro ceedings as equal to a conapiracy to compel the Clergymen to compound, and as compelling one farmer to pay another farmer's degraded paupers." " Princel and Lords may Sourish, or may foie ; A breath can make them, as &breath bas made; But a bold Peasantry, tieir country's pride, When once destroy'd, can mover be supply‘t" John Spalding was then sworn ; he was a labourer in Hollesley, with Mr. Barthropp, from March till harvest ; his wages were ls. per day, and made 16s. Gd. in all ; he received this from Mr. Barthropp ; understood Is. per day was from his own pocket, and the rest from the parish ; he received those wages from March till June, when his girl went to service; he then received 13s. 6d. Mr. Barthropp employed 22 Mai; does not know bow many acres Mr. Bar throw occupies; there was no want of work at Hol lesley at the time when he received 1.65.6 d. or 135.6 d. Some items were then read from the parish books, to prove that Mr. Barthropp had entered £1 1. 7s. nd. as relief paid to this man. W. Richardson was then sworn. His.evidence was very similar to that of J. Spalding ; but besides what heproved respecting himself, he proved that about 27 persons giving their names, were similarly em ployed by Mr. Barthropp. Eight other persons save similar evidence of working for one or other of the prish officers. R. Bridges sworn. In January, 1811, worked with Mr. Lloyd . stayed till April ; was employed in fen cing and thrashing; received 13s. a week ; does not say'how those wages were paid ; had no idea he had any parish relief; has two children ; has a house of his own and two acres of laud; not know he• was a purr. Mr. J. Woodnough sworn. Is a parishioner of Hollesley ; occupies about one hundred and fifty acres in that parish ; is' acqttainted with the other occu piers ; there are about three thousand acres in the pa lish. Mr. Barthropp has 1100 acres; cannot say how much arable; about four labourers are required for 100 acres of arable land; large occupations require fewer; about one in eight less. Mr. Barthropp em ploys tweiaty-eight or thirty. Mr. Lloyd has 150 or 160 acres ; has the same proportion of arable ;. em ploys Ave or six men. Mr. Waller has 550 acres ; about the same proportion of arable as Mr. Barthropp and Mr. Lloyd ; employs about sixteen men; the fair wages of a labourer are.about 2s. 6d. a day; a la bourer can maintain himself, a wife, and three or four children, the wife doing something ; he is a director of the poor in the hundreds ittf Loes and Wilford ; when the wages are 2s. a day, the labourers are al lowed from the workhouse Is. 6d. for each child more that three ; he employs six labourers ; pays each two shillings and sixpence a day ; some work by the piece. When they work by the day he pays them Is. 9d. All have allowance. When labourers receive al lowance they have no more wagft.. In Hollesley, parish, in the common course of husbandry, eighty labourers are requisite; there are not eighty labourers in the parish belonging to it; last year all labourers were sent to their own parishes to be employed; some •f his men were on the parish about six weeks, be cause the labourers working for other farmers recei ved sixpence a day wages, and the rest from the pa-' rish ; he had found the bad effects of this, having to pay part of others' labourers as well as his own; two years ago his poor rates amounted to £29, the fol lowing year to £79, and then in half a year to EGO. About last April he paid his men their full wages again. Broom was Mr. Bolton s tythe-collector ; he knows not en what terms, for part of the work done, he took more of Mr. Bolton than he himself paid. Cross-examined.—He was at a parish meeting; the men were distributed ; he took none; he produced at the meeting a scale of relief fixed by the Magistrates for men who had not wort ; some were to have more than fifteen shillings a week when they had large fa milies. He discovered by the Act of Parliament that the scale was illegal ; most of the officers were in formed so ; the Magistrates said they should have I twelve shillings a week, the rest according to their family. About four men are requisite for 100 acres of arable land ; wages ought to he the same to single ' men as to married men with families, if they work the same ; a man in health can earn 15s. a week—, what he requires more must be made up by the pa rish ; he has nothing to do in this appeal; he employs Imore men at harvest than at other time. Mr. B. does not always want the same number of men. • Examined by Mr. Notam—A man, whether sin gle or married, if he earns the same, has a right to the same wages ; some single men endeavour to save a little money before marrying. John Capon sworn.—He is acquainted with Hol lesley ; has lived there forty years ; there are about sixty-five labourers in the parish belonging to it; there is sufficient employ in a regular course without crea ting work for the purpose ; he keeps a shop. Mr. PRIMROSE summed up the evidence with great ability, and Mr. Jassort made a very energetic speech, of considerable length, indulging much ram- vective against the appellant, and concluded by en treating that if the Bench would disallow some part of the accounts, they would not go to the extent orruin ing the officers; and reminded the Magistrates, that justice was always best administered when tempered with mercy. A little after six o'clock the Magistrates withdrew, and in about half an hour returned, and delivered their decision, that they disallowed 1:68 10s. of the plccounts, which, with a balance that appeared in the book of 18s. 2d, making in all £164. 3s. 2d. they directed to be paid over to the suoceeding officers.— They farther desired to express their abhorrence of the principles on which the officers of Hollesley ac ted, and hoped their decision would have the desired effect. Monday night the house of Mr. Jour; CHAPNfAN, of klolyfield-hall, in the parish of Waltham Holy- Cross, in the county of Essex, was broke open by a very numerous and daring gang of robbers, amoun ting to ten or twelve men, armed and disguised.— They plundered the -house and premises of proper ty to a very large amount ; among it were Bank notes to the amount of about £74, four watches, with a variety of seals, chains, &c. one of the watches was a valuable gold one. The gang made their escwi, with the whole of the property, and still rerriain un discovisred. OLD 8.41:.:E}, OCTO:gel: 31. .13altkaza, Adams was indicted for felOnionsly Pr ;Rig, on, the 4th &ptember, an acceptance to a MI of Eielosit s for VI. purporting to be the accep tstnecof rs. Snow and Co. Bankers, with intent to defraud them, or Messrs. Hurd and Johnson, Solicitors. Mr. ARAni N stated, that the prisoner stood charged with, that he having in his possession a Bill of Ex change for 2001. did feloniously forge an acceptance thereto in the name of Robert Snow, with iwent to defraud Robert Snow and Co. and in another count to defraud William Hurd and George Johnson. Mr. George Johnson stated, that he was a solicitor, living in King's Bench-walk, Inner Temple; Mr. William Hord was his partner ; he had never seen the prisoner but once before the 4th of September, upon which day he came to their Chambers; it was about one o'clock in the day. He said he had asked Mr. Hurd to discount a Bill of '2OO/. fur him, but that he had not found it convenient to do so from his private purse and had directed him to go to him Wr. Johnson). ' Witness took the fill of Exchange and gave him a check for 1971. 10s. deducting a dis count of 2/.los. Witness sent the Bill of Exchange to the Banking-house of ilessrs.Snow and Co. within half an hour afterwards, and it was then discovered that the acceptance of " Accepted for self and Co. Robt. Snow," was a forgery. Witness sent John Perry with it. Mr. ALLEY then called a witness, named Charles Cummings, but he did not appear; he was conse quently ordered to be called upon his recognisance. He was, pursuant to this order, called aloud three times in the regular manner, but did not appear; 'and Mr. ALLEY then stated to his Lordship and the Court, that in the absence of this witness, he could not, with safety, proceed farther in the trial. Mr. Baron GARROW observed, that the Learned Counsel had stated, that in the absence of the neces sary witness, he could not satisfactorily proceed with the trial, and as he was satisfied of that fact, he did perfectly right in saving the valuable time of the Court ; for, fortunately, by the law of our land, a prisoner was always presumed innocent until he was found guilty by a Jury of his country. Under these circumstances there was nothing for the Jury to con sider, they were therefore bound to acquit the prisoner. The Jury instantly pronounced the prisoner Not Guilty, and Mr. Adams, who was extremely well ' dressed and powdered, bowed to the Court and withdrew. J. Leonard, aged 65, was indicted for uttering a forged 11. note, with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. Ann M'Ann keeps a tallow-chandler's shop in Cable -street, Whitechapel. Prisoner came to her shop about the '24th of September for four pounds of candles, and paid for them by a 11. note. He gave his name and address J. Headley, Cornwall-street, which he repeated three times. Ationt a fortnight after a woman passed another bad note similar to the first, and was stopped. Next day the prisoner came and asked if a woman had been there passing something of a bad note yesterday? Witness answered " Yes; and he then asked when she was to have another hearing? Witness said she did not know; and asked him if he remembered giving her a bad note? He answered " bad note.' She then said, " Yon gave it me in die name of Headley." He answered, "my name is J. Leonard, and that woman is my wife."— The woman had given in her name as Smith. The prisoner farther told witness that he had given the se• cond note to his wife. He was then taken into custody. Charlotte Martin was in the shop of the prosecutrix when the prisoner passed the first note there, and cor roborated that part of Mrs. M'Ann's testimony. H. Cousens proved that the prisoner, at the time he passed the first note in the West-street, Stepney, passed by the name of J. Leonard. I'. Glover, one of the Bank Inspectors, proved that both notes were forged in every _respect ; and that they both seemed to be from the same plate. In his defence, he said his wife keeps a chandler's 'shop, in which she took the notes. Guilty—s-Death. Sarah Leonard, aged 52, the wife of the last pri soner, was indicted for a similar offence towards the former prosecutrix. Guilty—Dea:ll. The son of the prosecutrix and the Jury recom mended her to mercy, as in all probability she acted Under the influence of her husband. The prisoner was a miserable looking creature, and seemed much i agitated during the whole trial. Her case excited great compassion in the Court. Sarah Far'nilo, aged 20, was indicted for a similar offence. The prisoner passed the note in the shop of Mr. Parker, a grocer, in Wardour-street, Soho, where she gave her name as Mrs. Jones, of Compton -street. Suspecting it to be a bad one, Mr. Parker directed a young man in the shop to go to Compton-street, and iiicu:re if the prisoner did live there. She wished to go with the young man, but Mr. Parker desired her to stop, and she immediately ran out of the shop, but was pursued and brought back. As the watch man-was conveying the prisoner back to Mr. Parker's shop, a man came up, who called himself the pri soner's husband, and knocked the watchman down. The Inspector proved the note to be a bad one. In her defence, she said her husband gave her the note, and told her the name and address to put on it. He was at the door when she went into the shop, and as in duty bound, she obeyed him. Guilty—Dcath. Gilbert Warren, aged 19, was convicted of passing three £3 notes, knowing them to be forged. He re ceived a most excellent character. It is somewhat singular that the three first should have been allowed to plead Guilty to the minor of fence on Friday, and yet be tried again the following morning for the capital offence. . Ex ECU TION.—The execution of Corporal liallorats, late of the :31st Regiment, found guilty at the Chi chester Quarter Sessions, of murdering J. Parr, of the 9th Lancers, took place on Mondy last. Pre cisely at ten o'clock Halloran was brought froth his cell, and on observing the executioner standing with the cords in his hands behind him, he said—" He need not hide what he held in his hands he knew !his office, and was prepared for ltim—he might do his duty:' His hands and arms were - then bound, and he aas delivered up to the City Bailiff, at the jail door. The cart contained a black coffin, on the centre of which the wretched man was placed ; on his right the executioner; and on. his left the Res. Mr. WATSUS.
