LAW Zvi f:LLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S HENCE', OCTOBER So. The lean Cuter Jusver ffi4 morning resumed his sitting. We are sorry to say tb.4 his Lork:b . ..iy appears to be in a very indifferent state or health. DIXON V. PRICE. This was an action by the proprietor, of the establish ment for the disposal of horses, situate in Barbican, called " The City Repository for the gale of H rses." The defendant was .a propristor of stage coaches, run ning between Islington and London. The present action was brought to recover the sum of 501. alieged to be due from the def infant to the plaintiff, as die balance ler the pike of son.e hors.s publicly sold by . the pla i ntiff at his sale to Mr. P. ice, the defendant. The' facts were shortly thee. The defendant had been in unfortunate circumstances, and became bankrupt.— Dixon, the plaintiff, was a creditor of his, and, with a man named West, was chosen assignee wider the com mission. The date of the commission was in Novem ber, 1323 ; and in December in that year, about a month after the commission, an extent, at the suit of the Crown, was daily expected, for the duties due to Go vernment from the bankrupt: and, in consequence. twelve horses, belonging to the bankrupt, were brought to Dixon's Repository for sale, in order to prevent them being seized by the Crown, and the produce cf them to be banded over to the assignees. The plaintiff Dixon, actini in the capacity of assig nee and auctioneer, sold AV E :ais by auction, at the . Repository, for 971. 471. •.^ or which he received, and the remaining 501. was - - 'placed to accouht ; and it was now contended that the defendant Price, the bankrupt, was the actual purchaser of the horses, and that the 501. credit was given to him. On the other hand, it was contended that the !wises were bought by a man named Nash, on the account of a person named Augner, who had given a note to Dixon, as the auctioneer, to trust his man to the extent of 501. on ac count of horses. The question of fact therefore was, whether the horses had been sold to the defendant Price, or whether they had been sold to Nash as the agent of Augner ? Mr. SCARLET?, for the defendant, submitted, that even supposing the sate was to Price, the present de fendant, the action was wrongly brought, because Dixon had sued separately; whereas, being a joint assignee, he ought to have sued as such, jointly with West, and although acting as an auctioneer, he might be liable to an action, for any deposits paid to him in that capacity, yet he could not turn round and shift himself of the girb of a joint assignee, and assume the garb of auctioneer for the purpose of bringing an action. The Lotto CHIEF JUSTICE was strongly of opinion that Mr. Scarlett's objection was fatal, but in order to save the possibility of the parties having to come to a second ti :al, he thought the question of fact had better go at once to the Jury. Mr. ScattLerr then addressed the Jury, and called Nash as a witness, who swore that he bid for the horses, and delivered to Dixon's clerk, at the sale, a note signed by Augner, requesting him to give his (Augnet's) man credit tin 501. The defendant's Counsel called for this note, but the plaintiff did not produce it. The catalogue, marked by the auctioneer was also called for, but not produced, nor did the defendant call the clerk who vas in attend ance at the sale. The LORD CIIILF Jiwrioz, in charging the Jury, was strongly of opinion that the non-production by the plaintiff of either the note, the catalogue, or the clerk, went strongly in support of the testimony of Nash, that the horses mete sold to Augner, and not to the defendant. The Jury immediately found for the defendant. The Lotto Cuter Junica—Mr. Searlett, the verdict is much better than the law for you. ADDIS')N V. GARLAND, ESQ. This was an action against the defendant, a, the late Sheriff of Essex, for an alleged false return made by him to a writ of fieri facia:, issued against the goods and chattels of a Miss Daniels. It appeared that Miss Daniels ss as the daughter of the late Sir Francis Cu lomb ne Daniels. Sir Francis died insolvent, and his daughter is now an inmate of the King's Bench. The present plaintiff was a creditor of the daughter, and had obtained a judgment against her, and had, in con sequence, levied an execution on some property which the plaintiff thought was the property of Miss Daniels; and the question was, whether the property seized was the property of Miss Daniels, or of her late father, Sir Francis ? A deal of Conflicting testimony was produced, and at length the plaintiff was nonsuited. HOWSE V. KIDNEY. This action was brought against a Lady, residing in Maisie place, to recover the value of a dot, which it Was alleged she had refused to deliver to the plaintiff. Sinclair, a coachman in Wimpole Mews, proved the sale of the dog to the plaintiff, in A pri1,1824., for half a-guinea. The dog was lost on the 25th of July fol lowing. The dog in the possession of Miss Kidney was the same. On the part of the defendant, it was contended that the dog was not the plaintiff's. Miss Crease was present when Miss Kidney purchased the dog, at the end of July. It was a fine white puppy, and not spotted, as described by the plaintiff's witnesses. S. Spagnioletti, a musician, said the dog in question was not the plaintiff s.—The Jury, under all the circumstances, found a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages, ten guineas. THE KING V. GARNET f. This was an indictment against Mr. Barnett, a partner in the firm of Scott, Garnett, and Palmer, corn-factors in Aldermanbury, for having refused to serve the office of constable for the Ward of Ctipplegate, to which he had been duly elected. The defendant pleaded " Not Gnilty." Mr. COMMON SER3EANT conducted the case f r the prosecution, and from the evidence he Called, it appeared that the defendant had been duly elected constable for the Ward of Cs ippiegate, that he had always been sum moned to attend Wald and Pat ish Meetings, and that on one occasion he had voted as a . householder at the elec tion of a Ward-beadle. Mr. GURNEY subMitted, that persons liable to serve • the office of constable, must be inhabitants as well as h .usellolJets in the parish. Now, as there was no evi dence to skew that the defendant was au inhabitant, he must be acquitted. The Lend Chief Justice ABRITT said, that he must consider a househoWer as an inhabitant, until die de. fendant offered kome evidence to prove that le was not so. Mr. GURNEY addressed the Jury for the defendant, and called Mr. Palmer to prove that the defendant was not an inhabitant of the Ward. Mr. Palmer, who is a partner in the same film with the defendant, said that the dwelling-house attached to theii counting-house was occupied by him ; the eel vi""% in that house were his servants, and paid out of his private property'; that neither of the clerks, who were paid by the firm, slept in the house ; that as occupier of that house he kad served the offices of Churchwarden and Overseer of `the poor of the parish, and had also fined for cnnstAble: that the defendant resided at Hampton, and had not slept one night in the house in Aldermanbury in the las , twenty years, during which he had occupied the house. On his cross•examinatinn, he a tmitted that the rent, taxes, and parish rates of his dwelling-house were paid lout rf the partnership Funds. Mr. COMMON SBRJEANT did not ihii,k that there %as any question fur the consideration of a Jury, as the real quer:ion in the ere was ore of law, on which both hi Learned Friend and himself 'wete anxious to have the opinion of the Court. The Loan Oust Justice told the Jury, that as it was the inten tion of the parties to take the opinion of the Court of King's Bench, be should not now give any opinion on the point. In order to enable the parties to take the opinion of the Court, the Jury must find the defendant guilty.—A •erdict was taken accordingly. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, OCTOBER 20. f►'ri;ht, an officer, in the service of the Men dicity Society, was put on his trial for assaulting and falsely imprisoning a poor man of the name of Jams Grant, and his wife. James Grant said—l am a tailor, aid private in the East Middlesex Militia. Oir the 19th f May last, about five el six o'cl•ick in the evening, I stopped. my wife and two children, at the door of Mr. Ila les, in Piccadilly, to look at a carriage standing OA—, which I was told belonged to the Marchioness of Lon donderry. I had one chili in my arms. Wiight, the officer, was at the time endeivouriog to apprehend tall man, standing there, who got away. Ile taco c itrc up to me, together with his fellow officer, Jackson, and laid hold of my wife by the shoul.!e.s, and began to drag her along. I asked the reason of :ind he said, "She mustcome along with me, aod we will have you too ; " upon which both took hold of me. I was compelled to drop the child. I received several blows, my hat was knocked off, and my coat torn off my back. One of the blows fell upon the child. Upon this I lost all patience, and struck Wright again. They to , :k me then to St. James's watch-hnu e, and I was pushed down the steps into the dunge in, and locked in. My wife and two children were also taken them The next morning I was brought before a Ma gistrate. A charge of assault was made, and I was committed to prison, where I remained five weeks. 1 had told the Magistrate Wright had struck me first. I had been in prison about a week, when Wright came and told me, that if I wrote a letter to the Mendicity Society, and owned myself in fault, I might get cut. I told him that I would write, but I did not. He came agail some time afterwards, and Eked if I had wrote? I told him I had, hut the letter had miscarried. He asked if any one could give me a character ? I said Admiral Gage would, and be wrote the name down in his book. The witness was cross examined by Mr. ANDREWS, in order to shew that himself, or his wife, were begging at the time they were taken into custody; but this lie denied. He had only once before been b. fore the Men dicity Society. He went to ask for a fo:k for hay making, having been robbed of his own ; and they gave him a boson of s3up. Ellen Grant stated, that on the day in question neither she nor her husband had begged of any one. They were on their way to Cat uaby Mark.t, to sing ballads. She was never taken up to the Mendicit) Society's Office, but once applied with her husband, and the Society gave her sixpence ant; a bacon of s iip. Mr. Nathaniel Hailes and Mr. Hercules Hailes, bolls of Mr. Hailes, the bookseller, before whose shop the occurrence took place, corr.)borate.l the evi!ence of Grant and his wife. They added, that a Gentleman on horseback, who was passing at the time, complained to Wright of the shameful manner in which he was treating Grant, when the officer observed, we will have you too. Some as-istants in the shop of Dr. Reece, Mr. Reed, a &Ater, and other witnesses, spoke to the same effect. Mr. ANDREWS addressed the Jury on the part f the defendant. Ile observed, that the duty which had to perfrrm in the apprehension of vagiacts was extremely unpleasant, there being generally a bad feeling on the put of the pnblic against the officer. Here Wright considered himself in the exercise of his duty, in apprehending the prosecutor and his wife, s‘hom he recollected to have seen at the Mendicity Office, and he trusted the Jury would not think Wright had used any unnecessary vio:eiice in taking Grant and his wife into custody. The Jury found the p: ironer Guilty as to the assault upon James Grant ; but Not Guilty as to the false imprisonment and the assault upon Ellen Grant. SOUTIIWARK SESSIONS, OCTOBER so.

SURREY SESSIONS, OCTOBER W. The Court was occupied the greater past of the day 'in heating uninteresting Se:dement cases. At two. o'clock ahoy was sworn, and tam Agar and 1-Jcnry Child were put to the bar, cliaigrd with having stolen two pieces of oak plank, the profetty of Mi. William Eves, a coal merchant. Mr. Willi ins Eves deposed, chat the prisoner Child had been in the employment of himself and partners, who had wharfs at Wandsworth, as captain of the barge. Agar was his assistant.

" %Veil, sii.l witness, if that be so, I shall go dos‘n and hook a; them. I then asked him what he would take for them ? and he said four shillings. I told him I would t give him more than three, which he said he wonld take. I saw a nutrk on one of the pieces, and asked Lint wi,at it meant? lie reel ed, no m liter, -.sett. I picked diem up. The timber was subsecpiundy taken from mt lihig.n4s by a conqable: Mr. I.a:igtoa, a timber-merchant at Wandsworth, deposed, that the pieces of tinker in cinestig.n had be-• longed to hint, and bole the usual to k.—lt was im possible the planks could have slid down to the river, as his trash r was esualiy piled h. hind .some cottages. wrnesics were called, who gave Child a good character for honesty and sobriety. The CHAMMAN stormed up the evidence, and the Jury con. victed Agar, a;,.1 acquitted Child. The Court sente::ced Agar to six months' imprisonment in the 11.:.e of Correct ~ "ad hard labour. The renrailiii. 4 ; ems were wholly devoid of interest. D UMFR[r. s. OcronEß 18. TuREE MARRIAGES ALL IN A ROW.-011 the 3d ult. Mr. Samuel Nodwell, jon. was married to Miss Ann Pringle, bath of Dumfries. Tim marriage feast vs..s celebrated at the house rf the bridegroom's father, where the parties were all as happy as love, friend. ship, and whisky could make them. Well, fashion or imitation extends even to ma . rimonial aff sirs, and at the said feast Mr. Barney M'J.rniter paid his addresses to, and gained the affections c f his friend Mr. Nodw ell's eldest sister. Another wedding and another feast, and that, too, within a week of tl,e other. Mr. Nodwell, senior, again attended, and as he v, as now lonely from the want of the society of his son and daughter, he was greatly in the humz-ur of falling in love himself. Tine he hid other and younger children, but eterytLing went Soong when they were left alone; and .‘ Och," said tl.e ts:d iaer, there's nowt for roe but another wife! Only yesterday, and what ch you th:rik the imps diti ?---latt on a potful of unwashed potatoes, heaped a whole measure of coals on the fire, boded the tnurphies all to timers, and made the put itself As red as the back of a s-Adier's coat." This happened on the I lth inst. and on the 12th the widower Was ou: of his widowhood. At his daughter's ueddlng he found a helpmate, and though he had no coach to call, he set out on his ma►tiage jaunt to Lochrnaben, snugly ensconced in his c.wn cart, and retuir.ed in the evening buckled hard and last. A Goon Sliur.-111 the beginning of last week, a county y lad, who ostensibly st.oots noth'ng but crows, and who never, of coarse, brings home a hare excepting when tl - e l'ussie jumps into his bag of his own accord, took d., n his gun, which is a deuced good one, and went out to treat himself to an luau- or two's sport. In the course of his ramble he saw a good many crows, that eat heather, and dwell in the moirs ; but these of course he let alone. By and b)e, howeter, he beheld a very tine black cock, so closely pursued by a feathered poacher which some call a gled, and others a hawk, that it seemed on the very point of being overtaken. " Well," thought our sportsman. ‘ 4 if I could hit the gled and miss the montcock, nobody, of cootie, could blame me for shooting without tither leave or license ;" and with that be cocked his piece, and only so fir mistook his aim, that in place of one bird he killed two. Yes, the pursued and pursuer fell dead at his feet ; the first of which sr eighed upwards of four pouads, and the second very nearly three. That, now, was a shot worth brag ging of; and the met it of the shooter is greatly enhanced, when we consider that he was actuated by the humane motive of preventing a hawk from committing murder. In the corner of a garden situated in the pretty vil lage of Dalbratrie, a a orthy Lady had this year a luxu riant crop of peas, the history of which deserves to be recorded. Some time in spring a friend pre•ented her with a brace of pigeons—very large birds of the kind. and moreover so plump, that they could not he said to have degenerated from their ancestors u born Nlalioniet emplo>ed to pick peas from his eats, when he wished his bearded followers to believe that he had received a special mission from Heaven. On their crops being opened, th e y were found to be so well filled with peas that our blend countermanded her order to the seed merchatst, and determined to profit for once by the wind-fall which chance had thrown in her way. The peas were accordingly washed and plsnted with very little regard tr system, and in process of time gave promise of a crop that had only one fault—that of bein g , too LIMA and luxuriant. The summer was as warm as the suriag had been mild, and beautiful blcoms were soon followed by goodly pods, on which many a pilferer preyed, from the urchin at school to the sparrow that nestles under the eaves ; but the owner, be it known, was far from imitating those gardeners who hang a net against every wall, and grudge a cherry even to the blackbird that every morning cheers them with a song. Yet notwithstanding such losses, the crop was so good that 6,000 peas were gathered as the produce of the bidden treasure above , ementioned. The quality, too, is allowed to be superior, and as birds have very discriminating palates, and grain of all sorts degenerates last in certain soils, we would recommend similar experiments to be tried as one sure means of restoring marrow-fat and other peas to something like their original excellence.—Duntfries Courier. PuLICE IN i ELLIGENCE. DI ANSION-HOUSE. Thomas Winders was charged with stealing a bag of linen that had been entrusted to a female named Angele to wash, during the tern. porary absence of the driver of a cart, in which it was placed. The prisoner said he was driven to it by distress.—Remanded. GUILDHALL Jo*,la Ginger was charged with detaining a ,e5O note. The complainant, Mr. W. Furnell, an ostrich feather manufacturer, re siding in Noble-street, stated, that happening to call in at the Sun public house, in London-wall, on Wednesday night, he found some persons playing at dominoes; in the course of conversation, as to their skill in the game, he offered to play any man in England for a sovereign. At that moment the prisoner entered, and having suspected him of cheating him upon a former night, he added to his challenge an exception against Ginger. At length, however, he said he would play with Ginger for £5O a-side, when the latter nn. mediately cried out that he would bet him (Furnell), a soveteigr that howl's unable to produce £5O. Each then placed a sovereign In the hand of a third person, and he (witness) exhibited a £5O note to the persons present, Om one of whom the prisoner snatched *•, and that declared he would keep It until his • h.. dly lost, was returned to him.

MA ltY-L A-BON NE. Yesterday, a young man, said to be a nephew of the late D. Reship, was brought up by the parish con-:able from the w 34i , house, where he had been sent by uril. 4r . the lta,!gt, ! . Ladies residing in Upper Wimpole-street. The Misses fudge's footman attended to make the Mr. Joseph ileslop, for so the accused caned Mr. Hesiop had bees. to his mistresses' house five or .it tintt..t.itil this day etr two, demanding to see them. His ni.streorsretioe,;;; see him, and gave hint orders to give Mr. flesh'' , in ellarre stable the next time he came. On Wednesday he ::!tri piee:aet himself, and because witness refused to deliver a n !!) C. L.,,L ei he created a disturbance, and was iu consequence Ant citiveso,u, house. Witness was desired by the Misses Rutlge to say the :1 41 did not wish to treat Mr. Ilisiop with severity, they fully si,* him to promise that he would not annoy then, fur the rove. Mr. Gateman said he had heard son:ed.:rig of this case btfm, and he asked the young man what excuse he eould make tanks annoying these old Ladies? and his Worship told him sha h should hold him to bail. Mr. Ilealop said he did not consider that he Itad committed breach of the peace to warrant his being lent to the uutL and he therefore thought the Magistrate ILA no tight to IQ to hail. He merely went to the house, and rt quested the not to deliver a note to his mistress, hut instead of to skint, beg nel in charge to a constable. (l le then went into an tap:ln:oom of his tiers for going there, which we understood were in ref ere n ce to disputed property). He was a xtremely sorry to be obli g ed to pose his pecuniary embarras.ments iu ereauation of his conk' but the note in question was merely soliciting temporary relief. h mentioned this that it might not be thought he had acted in such way as to throw disgrace on the memory of his uncle. Jr. Gan-rims said, he was intimately acquainted with the Dr. Heslop, and very certain he was that be never did aeythi himself that would bring disgrace on his memory, wh i te, others might do. Mr. Heslop was then discharged ; but Mr. Gamines told him, that if be went to the house again be would certainly bald hint to h. UNION-HALL. A man, named Turner. was charged with cruelty to his 3 , 1. A Mr. Gumpertz saw the defendant beat the beast, which was bravii! lades, in a very brutal marner, with a long thick stick. The n was perfectly quiet, and did not deserve the pu:.shnizr.t. Tice ear who served the summons proved, that from irtpi.rtes he In.! made in the neigbourbood, he ascertained that th: de t odant bores good character, and bad a great attachment fur the I.S. which h treated almost like a Christian. Mr. Got:ripen; on learning th., wished the case to be dismissed ; but the Magistrate said the dm; had been proved, and fined the defendant .Os. The 31agietrat took this opportunity of expressing the impropriety of pe room bringing charges of this description before 31.16it•trAtel, proving them, and afterwards either paying the fine levied en the defendants themselves, or interceding fur their discharge. It was a vractia that did mischief, and be declared that nothing would induce hint :o relax his convictions in cases which were proved to his satisfatioo. A young man named Joles, was charged with having connived a dating burglary and robbery in the house of Mr. Dumtheurs of Bermondsey. The prisoner was observed standing at them plainant's parlour window, between six and seven o'clock on Wti. nesday evening, handing out bundles to two of his companions Mr. Durtithwaite was from home, and the neighbours came we, naturally concluding that the three fellows were committing a rob bery. The two men who were receiving the property ran aoi.4 with their bundles, and the prisoner jumped out of the window, and ran away also, but a cry of " Stop thief!" being r.isetl. hewn secured, and a towel belonging to Mr. D. found in his possession. He persisted that he was innocent, and said he joined in pursuing the real thieves.—lle was, however, committed. THAMES POLICE. Catalog nr lluansa.--Yesterday, Ir. Honivitvi, an old man, was charged with baying murdered his grandson, G. Barton. The old man, who was in a state bordering on insensibility, did not deny the unintentionally committed fact, from having been greatly provoked, not only by the most shocking abusive language, but from the deceased having violently struck him in the first instance. In self-defence, he struck the assailant with a dagger, which he was in the habit of carrying about him, to protect himself from the assaults of the deceased, who was a most vicious and ahandsoed youth. The fatal quarrel, as appeared by the evidence of the ser vant of Harwood, originated from the deceased having, if, lan. guage the most abusive, complained of his grandfather having served him with a slice of meat which he considered too fat; and it was on his being remonstrated with on the unreasonableness of his complaint, that he struck the blow, which was so fatally re• turned by the old man. The prisoner was remanded to abide tk result of the Coroner's Inquest. The old man had very latel! adopted his abandoned grandson as heir to his little property. MEETINGS OF CREDITORS TO-MORROW.
