The prisoner having been asked whether he had any cause of challenge or objection to any of the Members ?—answered, " No." The Court was then duly sworn, and proceeded to the trial of John Smith, a Missionary, on the following . Citarges preferred against him, by order of his Excel lency Major-General John Murray, Lieutenant-Gover nor and Commander-in-Chief in and over the united colony of Demerara and Essequibo, &c. &c. 1. For that be, the said John Smith, lung previous to and up to the time of a certain revolt and rebellion which broke out in this colony on or about the lath of August now last past, did promote, as far as in him lay, discontent and dissatisfaction in the minds of the ne gro slaves towards their lawful masters, managers, and overseers, he, the said John Smith, thereby intending to excite the said 1:e -groes to break out in such open revolt and rebellion against the au thority of their lawful masters, managers, and overseers, contrary to his allegiance, and against the peace of our Sovereign Lord the King, his Crown and dignity. 2. For that he, the said John Smith, having, about the 17th day of August last, and on divers other days and times theretofore precedin7, advised, consulted, and corresponded with a certain negro named Quamina, touching and concerning a certain intended revolt and rebellion of the negro slaves within these coloniei of Demerara and Essequibo ; and further, after such revolt and rebellion had actually commenced, and was in a coarse of prosecution, lie, the said John Smith, did further aid and assist in such rebellion, by advising, con inking, and corresponding touching the same, with the said negro Quatnina a • to wit, on the 19th and Moth August last past, he, the said John Smith, then well knowing such revolt and t ebellion to be in pro gress, and the said negro Quamina to be an insurgent engaged therein. 5. For that he, the said John Smith, on the 17th August last past, aril for a certain period of time thereto preceding, having come to tha knowledge of a certain revolt and rebellion, intendi.d to take place within this colony, did not make known the s.ane to the pro per Authorities, which revolt and rebellion did subsequently take place ; to wit, on or about the 19th of August now last pan. 4. For that he, the said John Smith, after such revolt and rebellion had taken place, and during the existence thereof, to wit, on or about Tuesday and Wednesday, the 19th or 20th of August now last past, was at Plantation Le Resouvenir, in presence of, and held communication with, Quamina, a negro of Plantation Success, he, the said John Smith, then well knowing the said Quamina to be an insurgent engaged therein; and that he, the said John Smith, did Lot use his utmost endeavours to suppress the same, by securing or detaining the said insurgent Quamina as a prisoner, or by giving information to the proper Authorities, or otherwise; but on the contrary, permitted the said insurgent Qiansina to go at Lirge and &part, without attempting to seize and detain him, and without giving any information respecting him to the proper Authorities, against the peace of our Sovereign Lord the King , h is Crowd and dignity, and against the laws in force in this colony, and in defiance of the Proclamation of Martial Law. issued by his Excellency the Lieutenant- Governor. To these charges the pii,oner pleaded, Not Guilty. The prisoner having requested the indulgence of the Court, in order to procure the assistance of Counsel, the Court adjourned until to-morrow morning at ton o'clock. SECOND DAY, OCTOBER 14, 1823. The Court having met, pUrEtlifli to adjournment, the Judge-Advocate addressed the Court as follows : "Notyit pleats the court, " Previous to my proceeding to the proof of the charges which have been preferred by me against the prisoner, I feel it necessary to make a brief statement of the case, in order to facilitate the proving of the chat ges so preferred. I shall first adduce in evidence, that the prisoner, even from the beginning of his arrival in this colony, has begun to interfere with the complaints of the different negroes upon the estates in the district where he has been admitted as a regular Missionary. 1 shall further adduce evidence, that this interference has tot only related to the negro population and their ma nagement, but also with regard to the acts and deeds of the constituted authorities of this our country ; that this kind of interference has created discontent arid dissatis• faction amongst that part, viz. the negro population of this colony; that even his opinion of the oppression under which they labour brought him to that point, that he considered it necessary to expound to them such parts of the Gospel entirely relative to the oppressed state in which he considered them to be. It shall further appear to you in evidence, that this has led at last to the tearing asunder the tie which formerly united master and slave ; and that open revolt was the consequence of this state of discontent in which they bad been taught. It will also appear, that before the revolt broke out, the prisoner was aware, not only of the intended rebellion to take place, not only several days before, but also on the day immediately preaeding the breaking out of the revolt. It sl;all be proved that .it was not only a bare knowledge of the intended revolt, bet he even did consult and advise as to the difficulties they would have to encounter from his Majesty's troops, and from the white inhabitants of the colony. It shall be proved that, with this knowledge upon his mind, he never attempted to give any information hereof to the constituted . authorities ; that even on the day of the revolt, which took place in the evening, the prisoner was in town, but that he left town without having made that disclosure, which, as a faithful and loyal subject, he was bound to do : not only this, but it shall also be provedathat during the prosecution of the revolt, not' only no attempt was made of any disclosure on his side, but even that immediately after the beginning of the revolt, on the first and second day, the prisoner did correspond with one of the insurgents at a time when he well knew that the insurgent was in open rebellion; not only that he did correspona with him, but he even did not attempt to secure that insurgent, or to give such notice to the constituted authorities by which that insurgent could have been laid hold of; that though, perhaps, the prisoner at the moment might have found some difficulty of conveying this intelligence to the proper authority, that obstruction or difficulty was en tirely taken away on the following day, when a detach ment of Militia arrived at the dwelling of the prisoner, and by which he was enabled to give such information as a loyal subject he was obliged to do. This, Gentle men, is a brief statement of the case, and according to the course which, in calling of the evidence, I intend to pursue." lle then proceeded to call evidence in support of the Charges. We proceed to the verdict, delivered on the 21th of November, 1823. The Court having most maturely and deliberately weighed and considered the evidence adduced in sup port of the charges preferred against the prisoner, John Smith, as well as the statements made by Mtn in his defence, and the evidence thereon ; With respect to the first charge, to wit, " For that he, the said John Smith, long previous to, and up to the time of a certain revolt and rebellion which broke out in this colony on or about the 18th of August now last past, did promote, as far as in him lay, discontent and dissatisfaction in the minds of the negro slaves towards their lawful masters, mana gers, and overseers, he, the said John Smith, thereby intending to excite the said negroes to break out in such open revolt and rebellion against the authority of their lawful masters, managers, and overseers, contrary to his allegiance, and against the peace of our Sovereign Lord the King, his crown and dignity ;" Is of opinion, that he, the prisoner, John Smith, is guilty of thus much thereof, to wit, " For that . he, the said John Sorith, long previous to and up to the time of a certain revolt and rebellion which broke out in this colony on or about the 18th of August now last past, dii promote: discontent and dis s atisfaction in the n inds of the negro slaves towards their lawful masters, managers, and overseers;' -but acquits him of the remainder ot the said charge, fo r want of sufficient proof in support thereof. With respect to the second Charge, namely, " For that he, the said John Smith, having, about the 17th day of August last, and on divers other days and times theretofore preceding, advised . , consulted, and corre sponded with a certain negro, named Quamina, touchin4 and concerning a certain intended revoltand rebellion ot the negro slaves within these colonies of Demerara and Essequibo; and further, after such revolt and rebellion had actually commenced, and wasin a course of prose cution, he, the said John Smith, did further aid and as sist in such rebellion, by advising, consulting, and cor responding touching the same, with the said negro, Quamina, to it, on the 19. h and 20th August last past, be, the said John Smith, then well knowing such revolt and rebellion to be in progress, and the said ne gro Quamina to be an insurgent engaged therein," the Cow t is of opinion that he, the prisoner, John Smith, is guilty of so much thereof as follows ; viz --s." For that he, the said John Smith, having, about the 17th day of August last, and on one day theretofore preceding, ad vised, consulted, and corresponded with a certain negro named Quamina, touching and concerning a certain in tended revolt and rebellion of the negro slaves within these colonies of Demerara and Essequibo; and, fur ther, after such revolt and rebellion had actually com menced, and was in a course of prosecution, he the said John Smith, did further aid and assist in such rebellion, by advising, consulting, and corresponding touching • the lame, with the said negro, Quamina, to wit, on chel 20th August last past, he, the said John Smith, then well knowing such revolt and rebellion to be in pro gress, and the said negro Quamina to be an insurgent s engaged therein," and acquits hint of the remainder of the said charge. With respect to the third charge, " For that he, the said John Smith, on the 17tia August last past, and for a certain period of time thereto preceding, having come to the knowledge of a certain revolt and rebellion in tended to take place within this colony, did not make known the same to the proper Authorities; which revolt and rebellion did subsequently take place, to wit, on or about the 18th of August now last past, the Court is of opinion that he, the prisoner John Smith, is geilty.i With respect to the fourth charge; viz.—" For that he, the said John Smith, after such revolt and rebellion had taken place, and during the existence thereof, to wit, on or about Tuesday and Wednesday, the 19th and , 20th August now last past, was at plantation Le lfe4 souvenir, in presence of and held communication with Quamina, a negro of plantation Success, he, the said' . John Smith, then well knowing the said Quamina to be, an insurgent engaged therein; and that he, theitaidJohn Smith, did not use his utmost endeavours to suppress. the same, by securing or detaining the said insurgent Quamina as a prisoner, or by giving information to the' proper Authorities, or otherwise ; but, on the contrary, • permitted the said insurgent, Quamina, to go at large, and depart without attempting to seize and detain him, and without giving any information respecting him to the proper Authorities, against the peace of our Sove reign Lord the King, his crown aed dignity, and against the laws in force in this colony, and in defiance of the proclamation of Martial Law, issued by his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor." The Court is of opinion, that he, the prisoner John Smith, is guilty of so much thereof as follows, namely—" For that he, the said John Smith, after such revolt and rebellion had taken place, and during the existence thereof, to wit, on Wednesday, the 20th of August now last past, was at plantation Le Itesouvenir, in presence of, and held communication with Quamina, a negro of plantation Success, he, the said John Smith, then well knowing the said Quamina to be an insurgent engaged therein ; and that he, the said John Smith, did not use his utmost endeavours to suppress the same by giving information to the proper Authorities, but, on the contrary, permitted the said in surgent Quarnina to go at large, and depart, without giving any information respecting him to the proper Authorities, against the peace of our Sovereign Lord the King, his crown and dignity, and against the laws in force in this colony, and in defiance of the proclama tion of Martial Law issued by his Excellency the Lieu tenant-Governor," and acquits hire of the remainder of the said charge. The Court having thus found the prisoner, John Smith, guilty, asabove specified, does therefore sentence him, the prisoner, John Smith, to be hanged by the neck until dead, at such time and place as his Excel lency the Lieutenant-Governor and Commander-in- Chief may think fit to direct. But the Court, under all the circumstances of the case, begs humbly to recom mend the prisoner John Smith, to mercy. (Signed) S. A. GOODMAN, Lieut.-Col. ;tad President. (Signed) J. L. jun. Assist. Judge Advocate. Approved, (Signed) JOHN MURRAY, WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, APRILI4. Mr. William Ford was tried on an indictment for committing an assault on the person of Edward Harvey Foster, Esq. an Officer of Cavalry, and Adjutant of his Regiment. Sr. C. PHILLIPS stated the case for the prosecution. It became his duty to lay before the Jury the particulars of one of the most brutal and unprovoked outrages that ever came into this Court ; such as, indeed, would not have occurred among the lower orders of society. It was not only the injury sustained in the person, but there was a wound inflicted on the feelings of the pro secutor which predominated over his personal suffer. ings, and which, if it was overlooked, would render. him not only unworthy of a seat at the table of his brother Officers, but unfit for civilized society. There is a method among Officers in the Aimy of resenting afft onts in a certain way : but in such a case as this it did not become him to call on the defendant for a per sonal meeting on hat is generally denominated " ho nourable terms." The Learned Gentleman then de scribed the nature of the assault, in the defendant's coming behind Lieutenant Foster and attacking him without notice with the butt end of a horsewhip. For this strange and brutal conduct it was impossible to find an excuse : but if it was intended on the other side, by way of amelioration, to say . that Lieutenant Foster had offended Mr. Ford, that Gentleman was ready to declare, on his honour as a Gentleman, and on his oath as a man, that he had never offered him the least offence whatever. Lieutenant Faster depo.sed, that on Saturday after noon, the 21st of February, he was in B-md-street, having just parted with his friend Mr. Raymond, when Mr. Ford came behind him, saying—" This is Captain Foster." He turned round, and instantly received a blow on the head from the butt-end of a horsewhip, which broke his hat. Witness said, " 6 I don't know you Sir." The defendant replied, D—n you, I'll make you know me;' and struck him a7ain repeatedly, until he was compelled to take refuge in Long 's Hotel. lle declared that he never spoke disrespectful of Mr. Ford, and, indeed, never was in his company. He was very unwell at the time of- the assault, and remained so for some time after. Cross-entrained by Mr. ADOLPHUS.—Witness was under recognizances at the time, and had been so since last August; he never saw Mr. Ford but on one occa sion before, when he was pointed out to witness; he knew a person gamed Aubrey, and he was once given to understand by his servants that Mr. Ford had called on him from Aubrey repecting a wager, but he never spoke of Ford's character to Anbiey. Witness had an ash switch in his hand, and held it up to ward off the blows, but it was broken directly. Did not know that Ford had left word at Marlborough-street, in case (.f a complaint against him, where lie should procure bail. Witness stein to Buw-street,and had Ford appreheaed on Sunday morning, and he was kept in Filson until the Monday. George Raymond, Esq. a student of the Temple, deposed, that after I,e had parted frOm Lieutenant Fos ter, the noise of a whip attracted his attention, and, on turning round, saw the assault as related by that Gen tleman. Ttie dele,i.!ant was using the whip in a very violent manner. Lieutenant Foster, now his previous illness, and from the effects of the tr,sault on his per. son and feelings, was in a very exhausted state when he gat into Long s. M r. Thomas Long's., razor-maker, of 10, Bond street, near whose shop the assault took place, con firmed the former account-. Mr. ADOLPHUS, on behalf of the defendant, cons mented on the evidence exhibited by the prosecutor, and said that the case should not have come into this Court ; there was a way to settle disputes like this, which pro tects character from ridicule, females from insult, and adjusts amicably those angry feelings which arise from words that ate not actionable. here, it would seem that Lieutenant Foster had suffered himself to be struck, and then hi ought the case into this Court, because he was bound under recognizinces to keep the peace. , It reminded him of an old play (Every Alan in his flu- Intaur), in which Captain Bohadit gut 'a "beating•in the street, and when asked by the Justice why he did not resent it according to the laws of honour, lie says, " I was bnund over to keep the peace, and this worthy Gentleman saw me served with the process ;" but still,. while the prosecutor was being struck, his hands were not bound over. The Leased Counsel said, he would tall Mr. Aubrey fo prove, that Lieutenant Foster bad reported ill of the defendant, and also a Mr. Montgo mery, who was walking with Mr. Ford when Lieute nant F.;ster came up, from whose evidence it would lappear that the prosecutor was the first aggressor : seeing the prosecutor looking steadfastly at him, Mr. Adolphus concluded thus— ,, I do not believe that Cap tain Foster's evidence is true: he has not deposed cor rectly, and I will prove it. If it is to be endured that an advocate in a British Court of Justice is to be frowned and whiskered out of countenance, it is time that our code of laws were laid aside, and that martial law predominated : he may bite his pretty whiskered lips if he pleases, and put that into his pocket to do with it as he pleases." . Mr. trufitey was called, but did not appear. Mr. John But ke Montgomery stated, that he was on the point of parting with Mr. Ford, who stated that he was waiting for Lieutenant Foster, when that Gentle. man appeared on the opposite side of the road, and Mr. Ford crossed to meet him. He told Lieutenant Foster that he had reason to believe that he had as persed his character; Lieutenant Foster denied it, but Mr. Ford replied, i , You are a liar." Lieutenant Foster then lifted up his stick, and he believes struck Mr. Ford ; the latter then said, u If you mean that, come on," and then they both fell to at each other, until Lieutenant Foster retreated into Long's. Mr. PHILLIPS replied: he was grieved to hear his Learned Friend impute perjury to a Gentleman holding his Majesty's commission in the Army, and who, for his gallant conduct, has lately been promoted to the Adju tancy of his Regiment—a Gentleman, against whose character the breath of calumny never dared to appear —a Gentleman whose friends in the military profession, had they suspected such 'a charge, would have crowded to the Court to rescue his character from imputation (at this part of the Learned Counsel's speech the prose cutor was overpowered by his feelings): he was pleased to see the effect of such a charge, andthe gallant soldier might rest assured that be was incurring no portion ofl shame at this avowal of his feelings: a single witness had been called by the defendant, to whom he (Mr. Phillips) would not impute perjury, but would confi= dently put it to the Jury to say, whether they placed most reliance in that witness, or in the prosecutor's—a respectable student in the profession, and.* tradessnam who knew none of the part*. 14 p)414 1 4 rat - convinced in his own mind Witt no vrovocation had been given, and that the defendant, had committed a most brutal, unmanly, and cowardly assault ; he would prove that fact from the mouth of the defendant's Counsel: What broug ht him to Marlborough , street to give the names of his bail, if he had•not been guilty of an assault? A great poet and a judge of human Haunt', as a proof of self-conscience, says— a Thou eans't not say I drd It: never shake " Illy gory locks at mi." Nobody accused him, but his own conscience told hint he was gnilty; is that the conduct of an innocent pet.: son? No ; it is the cunning conduct of a man h.), having committed an assault, by so doing would lia,e his bail ready, and experience no personal inconvenience. He, perhaps, relied on a private akijustinert ; hitt he grossly miscalculated. No man in the regiment w ou ld .have persuaded the prosecutor to overl',ok such an in, cult: no man in his regiment wouli have niesied with him if he had accepted even a public apology. Ile perhaps thought even being found guilty of horse-whipping a man in the streets a triumph ; but it was the act f a vile, base miscreant, and could not stain in the small , st degree the character of the gallant Officer. The ay. li cation of Captain Bobadil to a man who hears hi, .\l 2 . jesty commission was what he (Mr. Phillips) was prised to hear from his friend Mr. Adolphus ; his flicnd would have had Lieutenant Foster appeal to the laws vf honour; but they were a code of laws for ecrials, and not for a man who spurns them in the first instance, and then claims the benefit of them. He trusted the Jury would ie:urn such a verdict as should send the prosecutor to his comrades with an unspotted charactei, without which life itself would be insupportable.—The Jury found the defendant Guilt. The CHAIRMAN said, that sitting in his capacity, I e knew nothing of what were called the laws of honour ; but this he knew, that the prosecutor had pursued the best and most honourable course. Ile had been vin- lently assaulted, and in order ti, send him to his resi. ment with honour, and to mark the sense of the Court, the sentence was, that the defendant be imprisoned three months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 11ANSION-EIOI3SF. A GE;TLPMAN %GSA IL—An old man, enveloped In rags, with dirty cap that partly concealed his face. was brought before ii,e Loan Alaioa, on a charge of vagrancy. He had been seen be,,- ging in the streets at night with great assiduity. He chiefly acem•ed persons of respectable appearance, whose attention he invarials:y arrested until he had told his story, and he seldom failed in getti:,g something given to him. When he was taken into cu4ndy, he d..- elated himself unable to walk, and made as appeal to the feelings of the officer; but finding the latter determined to apprehend him, under the general order to take into custody all persons found Leg ible in the streets, he made a vigorous resistance. W 4 Le t called upon to state his name and abode to the Lord Mar, r, he beged to be excused, and made an address to his Lordship in a neat style, in which he stated himself to have been horn :ind bred a Gentleman, and that he had moved in the first circles until very lately, when, by a sudden calamity, he was ruined, and those who in his affluence surrounded him now fled from him; he was driven into the street ; and unless some benevolent individuals, whom h met casually, h:,d given him aid, he should have limn starved. 11 hoped his Lordship would spare the feelings of a Gentleman, a;1.1 permit him to expose his name ansl situation in a private interv:e..v. lie was now 76 years of age, and had been brought up to the pr fession of the law as a Gentleman, and London was his native place. Flintier than this he could say nothing.—After some further a:- tempts to elicit an explanation from the prisoner, The Loafs Ilavoa told him he believed him to be an hitt o tot, and should treat him as such, by sending him to the Tread-mill, unless he gave Isis name.—The prisoner said that was impossible. The 1.0#1) Mayor. committed SOW at once to the tread-mill as a vagrant. He has been In custody before, and it is believed that he really does maintain a respectable character elsewhere ; but that he comes out at night disguised to beg fur the means of support, and that Crum his superior address he is highly successful. M ARY-LA.BONN It OFFICE. Yesterday, Ma Hall and Henry Gulliver, the drivers of Nos. 5087, and 50:89, Patkliagton caaches, appeared before Mr. Gate. mils, charged by a reipectahle Gentleman named Woed, with furious driving in the New lioad.—Mr. Wood, not wishing to pres the charge, Mr. Gatemns said the conduct of these coachma t in general was very bad, and he had made up hie mind, in all casei of a second offence, to convict in the full penalty, which he d, s red they would communicate to their brethren of the whip op the road. Having made an apology, they were discharged on paying costs. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Mgt &miasma, the person charged with sending a letter to Nlessrs.

At.txre, Esq. The prisoner, it will be recollected, nqat allowed to go at large, upon his promise of attending at this race on a future day. Ile did not appear, and the firm applied for a I warrant, and the prisoner was again taken into custody.—The psi stiller entered into a• long statement in his defence, although admo nished by the Magistrate, which, instead of palliating, greatly aL gravated his case.—Fully committed. The Pawnbrokers have taken the alarm at the new Equitable Loan Company established by Sir Witt.t.a.:l CONGREVE and Mrs. FRY. They are afraid that their balls will not be able to stand against Congreve rockets. The Jews' Festival of the Passover commenced on Monday night, when a solemn service was performed at the Syna gogue,Duke's-place, to a crowded congregation, amongst whom were several Ladies of the first distinction in the City. The Synagogue, upon this occasion, was beautifully lighted with large waz candles. Sunday morning, as the Rev. Mr. BAILEY, Minister of the Baptist Chapel, Alie-street, Goodman's-fields, was preachirg there, in the middle of his discourse he was seized with a fit. which rendered it necessary to convey him home, where he still continues in a dangerous state. By the law of Fi ance, a vender of drugs is required, before he sells any poiconous ingredient, to have fro:n the purchaser in writing the quantity and nature of the drig, and the purpose to which it is to be applied.
