LAW REPORI% COURT OP CHANCERY, DECEMBER ta. coatiottaTtos 01 LIVERPOOL v. THRRLFALL AND OTHRIUL This was a motion on information by the ATTORNIT- GoIRAL for an injunction to restrain the defindants, M ain proprietors of land on the Cheshire tide of the peer Mersey, from making an embankment on that charc.—lnjunetion granted. COURT OV KING'S BENCH, DECEMBER 15. GINZRAL BURTON W. DUNHAM. This action was brought by General Napier Christi* beton, against the defendant, to recover damages for s tres pass. The plaintiff, by his declaration, complained Mat the defendant (a bailiff) committed a trespass in nib ter ing his house, and wrongfully seizing his g00d5...-. The defendant pleaded that a writ and execution had i ss ued against one Captain But ton, for a sum of money due to Messrs. Hurd and Johnson, solicitors, and that be entei ed the house of the plaintiff erroneously, sup posing the plaintiff was the person against whom the process in his hands applied. It went on to say an apo logy was made in behalf of the defendant ; and that it was agreed between the plaintiff and one Gray, that if Dunham would repeat the apology before plaintiff's ser vants in his'town house and country-house at Homey, the plaintiff would accept and receive the same in full satisfaction and discharge of the trespass; that the a pology Was made - in the terms proposed, and the plain tiff received it in satisfaction of the trespass. Mr. BRoUGHAM stated the case. It appeared from the evidence that a bill of exchange was in the hands of Bald and Johnson, which made Captain Burton liable for a considerable sum. Process was issued to recover the amount, and the defendant had it to execute. In January last an examination had taken place at a Police Office, respecting an outrage offered to General Burt.m by his servant, and 'the defendant supposing the General to be the person against whom he had the distress war rant, went to his house and made a seizure of his pro perty. The General told him he was not the man, and that he had proceeded against the wrong person. The defendant not only went to the General's town hotise, but to his house at Hornsey. The error was soon dis• covered. It appeared that Captain Burton had been dead for some years, and in short, that an unjustifiable trespass had been committed. Mr. SCA RLETT, for the defendant, contended, that General Burton having accepted an apology, the matter would have been at rest had not the plaintiff's attorney been active in bringing the action. According to the l evidence of the witnesses for the defendant, the apology was made, and the General consented to receive it in the way before stated, and not proceed against Dunham. Mr. Bnouonast, in reply, considered the story about the apology highly improbable. The General could derive no advantage from the defendant's admission that be had done wrong. His servants had received an im proper impression from the blunders of the defendant, and the General was desirous of getting an apology made in their bearing, in order that his own credit and respectability might not suffer by their tales abroad.— The General never gave up his right of action. The Jury, under all the circumstances, &and a ver dict for the plaintiff.—Damages £2O ; costs 40s. BARON GRAHAM V. WRIGLEY. Mr. CAMPBELL opened the case, and excited a laugli at the similarity of the plaintiff's name to tbat of a ve nerable Judge. Mr. SeaeLerz stated the case, and after stating the material facts, said he did not mean to open the case as, one of heavy damages. The defendant had not abused the hospitality of the plaintiff. But, however unhappy the mart iage might have been, and whatever differences might have existed, still the wife had no tight to live with another man, not had another man a tight to cohabit with her. The plaintiff had returned from India, and lived upon £BO a-year. It was a common saying that when poverty comes in at the door, love flies out at the window. On I:80 a year they could not live well ;on his return from India he had learnt that her conduct had not been correct in India, andhe left her, allowing her 15s. a week. He went to Scotland, and soon atter learnt that she lived with the defendant, and went by his name; they afterwards lived as Mr. and Mrs. Graham. David Laing saw them married. She was Miss Keis ling, a foreigner; he was a portrait painter; went to India in 1816 ; in that profession returned in 1820; I saw them when they returned ; they had• little boy ; be was twenty-two years.of age when he married. The only employment he had was from me, in painting of glass; he went to Scotland, where his mother lived; I was appointed to give her 15s. a week, which I paid till June last ; she lived at No. 5, Somerset-place, Albany road, Walworth ; when I called at the end of 1822, 1 was told by her that Mr. Wrigley, or Mr.'Ridley, was her lodger ; I understood from her that the house be longed to her ; the second time I went I could not re member the house, and inquired for her by the name of Mrs. Graham ; no one knew of such a person; I de scribed her as having a foreign accent, and I was then directed to Mrs. Wrigley ; I found her by that name; I mentioned the circumstance to her ; this was in April, 1823. Cross-examined by Mr. THEssunta.—Mr. Graham' lodged in my house when Miss Caroline Keisling came to sit for her portrait. They lived together from Sep tember till December, in the year 1820. After their return, he told me that he had received a very unplea sant letter respecting her improper conduct in India.— He said be would leave her for a time, and must get divorced from her. He was so distressed that he seemed not to know what he said. I went at his desire to get his clothes, and to tell Mrs. Graham that in consequence of intelligence from India he would live no longer with her. •He is still in my debt for advances to her. She told me that she kept a lodging-house. By the Jury.—Sometimes I went with the money, sometimes she came for it. James Leger lodged a fortnight at No. 5, with Mr. and Mrs. Graham ; I know the defendant WI igley, and lie was Mr. Graham ; there were but two bed-rooms, I had one and they the other ; he generally called her " my dear:' She told me that Mr. Wrigfey, calling him Graham, was her second husband. Cross-examined.—The bed rooms were on the first floor ; there was a lumber room on the staircase, but no bed room ; there was no second floor ; did not know that he was an unemployed purser. Henry Lunes, a lodger at another time, gave similar evidence. Cress-examined.—l did not know that he bad only 3s. a day. Mr. SCAILLITT admitted that be was a purser on half-pay. Thomas Saunders, lodge:, then gave similar evidence. He was there en the 6th of May, 1824. Mr. THasSIGER submitted that the plaintiff was not entitled to maintain this case. In the case of Wynn v. Timbre% it had been held that the-ground of - such an action was the loss of the comfort and society of the wife. The LARD CHIEF. JUSTICE thought the separation had not been so great as to prevent her (ruin applying for restitution of conjugal rights, and therefore the;astion was maintainable. But the circumstances were for the Jury in mitigation of damages. Mt. THROWER addressed the Jury; and argued that for this most trifling of actions nominal damages were fully adequate to the injury. The LORD CHIRP JUSTICR summed up the circum stances.—Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages Is. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DECEMBER 15. WYATT V. COCKS AND ANOTHER. Mr. Serjeant-WILDS stated the case. This was an action for loss of character. The plaintiff, Elizabeth Wyatt, lived in the service of Mr. Cooks, a most re spectable Gentleman, and a banker at the Westend of the town, and remained there two years and a half. Finding the situation too hard for her, she gave notice to Mrs. Cocks that she would leave. Mrs. Cocks warned the plaintiff against 11 quitting her service, as if she did, she would have to retura to the country—to poverty, and perhaps disgrace." She afterwards wished her to remain in her service. The plaintiff, after leaving Mrs. Cocks, went to Mrs. Burnet, who applied for her character to Mrs. Cocks, from which arose the cause of the present action. Mrs. Cocks represented the gill as being deficient in everything, that she knew nothing of hair-dressing or dressing. Among other expressions, she said that the girl was " unsteady.' Now that word might bear many constructions, but with Ladies of edu cation, like Mrs. Cocks and Mrs. Burnet, its meaning could not be mistaken—for Mrs. Burnet answered to this effect—" If that be the case (unsteady) I have daughters growing up, and she is very unfit to be about them." This was the ground of the action. The plain tiff was in humble circumstances, but her character was the dearest thing she had, and he trusted that the Jury would so consider it. The plaintiff had been re fused service in consequence of Mrs. Cocks refusing to give her a character. She had been teduced to great distress.. As a further act of kindness, indeed, the only one on the part of the defendant, he made this a Special Jury case—no doubt thinking, that they being masters would know how to deal with the case. He would only add, that the girl had given general satisfaction to her mistress,. and he did not see why a servant should be compelled to remain in a moral prison, from the fear of not getting a character from her mistress. Mrs. Burnett—Remembers about a twelvemonth ago calling on Mrs. Cocks, of Harley -street, for a character of Elizabeth Wyatt, for honesty, sobriety, &c. Mrs. Cocks said she was perfectly honest and sober, but that there was a general want of steadiness in her conduct: that was the whole of her answcr ; witness enquired if 'plaintiff was a good dress-maker? defendant replied, that she knew very little of dre s s-making ; she said that plaintiff was formerly a nursery maid ; after the ex- Tression of,want of steadiness, witness said that she had' daughters growing up, and that she could not take a person of that character: defendant made no answer to, this; she said that she afterwards took her to attend about her own person. Cross.examined—She said that her want of steadiness about the children was the cause of her making the change of taking her about het own person. Mr. William Canary Jenkins had occasion, on Wed nesday, 7th January, to wait on Mrs. Cocks, in conse quence of what be had heard respecting Betsy_ Wyatt. Ws. Cocks had been a pupil of his. He said, " Mrs. Cocks, did you say to Betsy Wyatt she was to return to her wretched hovel in the country, and that you would take care that she should not get another situation in London?'' She answered, " I believe I was hasty in making the expression respecting the wretched hovel in the country, but I did not say anything about a situa tion." I then said to her, " I hope you are not going to refuse the girl a character?" She replied, "flow can I give her a character for steadiness, when she left my house at five o'clock in the morning, to go I know not where? I awoke between dime and four in the morn ing, but waited till five or half past five before I rung the bell, for fear of alarming the house—that was the reason of ray discovering her being out." She did not say at what time of the year it was. She believed it was in the Regent's Pirk that the plaintiff had been. The house of Mrs. Cocks is close to the Regent's Park. I said to Mrs. Cocks, that if a servant of mine had done so, I should discharge her instantly. Cross-examined.—l asked the girl why she had de ceived Mrs. Jenkins by not telling her she had been out in the Park in the morning ? She then wept, and said she was willing to apologize to Mrs. Cocks for so doing. I told her to consult Mt. Stephens, the attorney, and Mr. Ballantyne, the clergyman, before she did anything. Re-examined.—:-When I told her of the complaint of going out at five in the morning, she did not say how many months it was before she left. When I saw Mrs. Cocks, she said that she did not refuse to give the plain tiff a character, but observed, gg how can I give her a -character for steadiness, when she is not steady ?—I cannot give an unjust character." I then spoke of an apology, and said I would speak to plaintiff about it. Elizabeth Lee remembers plaintiff leaving the house. I am a servant to Mrs. Cocks. I remember Mrs. C. say ing that I might tell Betsy to go to see her. I said to Betsy, go and make an apology. I remember the morn ing when Betsy went to the Regent's Park. It was twelvemonths before she gave notice of leaving. She attended the children, and afterwards waited on Mrs. Cocks; she had the care of a child who fell ill. Mrs. Cocks was satisfied with her conduct. Cross-examined—l did not hear Sir William Knighton find fault with her. Recalkd—l did not hear what the apology was for. It was something private between Mrs. Cocks and Betsy. The plain tiff remained a twelvemonth after the morning of going out to the Regent's Park. Barnard Stadds, butler in the family. I heard Mrs. Cocks say to Betsy that she might stay if she-pleased; I heard Betsy say that she got a pelisse from her mistress, for her kindness to the child; I believe it was a new pelisse; it was three months after the child recovered. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN addressed the Jury for the defendant, contending that there was no malice proved , against her, and before a verdict could be given for the plaintiff, the intention of malice must be proved. What would the Jury think of a servant girl going out at five o'clock in the morning, without the knowledge of her mistress? But the girl was refused a character—she might have gone into the service of Mr. Alexander it she thought ptoper. He would net say that she was not right in getting her character cleared. first, but that might have been done without having recourse to an attorney and an officious clergyman. The allusion to the case being submitted to a special Jury was not at all called for. Special Jurymen, as masters, must feel as sensibly alive to the conduct of servants as other persons. The girl could not be termed steady who was reproved bySirWilliam Knighton for carelessness in nursing a sick child, and Mrs. Cocks was justified in giving a character as she found the girl to deserve. In tact, she denied having had any intention of preventing her getting ~~~: a sithation in London,which was the sting of the charge,. and consequently no malice could be assumed, nor was any proved. On these grounds he confidently expected a verdict for the defendant. The CHIEF Justice summed up, observing that if Mrs. Cocks, had discharged the plaintiff on the day of - her being in the Regent's Park, telling her at the same time that she would not give her a good character, she would be justified; but having kept her for twelve months afterwards, and having brought no other charge against her, the plaintiff was entitled to have a charac ter. The question of malico was for the Jury to con- sider. If they thought there was no malice, and that the plaintiff had not suffered in character, they would find for the defendant ; but if otherwise they would find for the plaintiff, and give what damages they thought would place her in the same situation she stood before leaving the defendant's service. The Jury retired for an hour and a half, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Darnages 1001. NA PAL INTELLIGENCE.

The differences between the Presidents, Directors, and Shareholders of this Company, have at length been ami cably settled ; and we trust, in future that projectors of new schemes will make no more efforts to take advan tage of the Public, by demanding a bonus on every share offered for subscription. These projectors should not be ignorant, that without the public sanction, their schemes would be of no avail g and they should recol lect, that by making fair offers, they increase and con firm their own consequence. Having gained such con fidence, they should not attempt any measure which is likely to shake and destroy the very foundation on which they had raised themselves. This has been too evident in the present instance. The Continental Gas Company was first contemplated as a regularconcern, and as such, letters for shares were sent in to probably six times the amount of the capital required. Before the letters al lotting the- shares were issued, each share had reached a premium of 6 or 7, when it was rumoured that 3 pre mium would be required as a bonus from the shares granted to the Public, to remunerate the four Presidents for their exertions and expenses. The Directors and Officers were to be exempt from paying this bonus; but in fact they would have received it, for in selling any of their shares they would of course get that ES premium which the public purchaser would be liable to pay. The rumour was at length confirmed by the prospectus, but the attempt to take advantage of the confidence of the Public has failed, and at a Meeting held on Saturday last, it was determined to remit the bonus on each share. This is as it should be; and there is no doubt, that with the several good contracts brought to England by Sir W. CONGREVE I the shares will soon reach their real value. It is true that a reserve of the bonus is left for the consider, ation of the Directors three years hence, subject to the prosperity of the Company, but it will then, we conclude; of course, be paid out of the general fund, by Directors, Officers,and Public.We cannot for a moment believe, that the shares distributed to the public, which we think are not mare than 7,000, being about one-third of the total number, are intended to bear the expenses and bonus to the Presidents. By this awkward attempt, the shares came down to par on Tuesday ; but they will most pro bably soon again reach their former premium. The Presidents, &c. are reported to be respectable men, and the public has a right to expect respectable conduct. The statement which has been made respecting the appointment of Sir CHAIM!! Sevane to the Government of Bom bay is wholly unfounded. The Hon. Metnerrruater ELTHINSTONZ continues Governor of that Presidency ; and Major-General Sir THOMAS Mona° remains Governor of Madras, and has no inten tion of coming home. The Friends of good Government throughout the world will no doubt receive pleasure from the assurance that the publication of The Oriental Herald, which by now been before the British Public twelve months, has kind d. in every quarter of Great 134itain, a spirit of inquiry into the misgovernment of India, unknown since the days of Warren Hastings's Impeachment. This spirit has evinced itself in a very general demand for morefeeguesl as well as more ample information on Indian Affairs than it has been hitherto found practicable to lay before the reading classes of this country, in the ordinary publications of the day. To meet the wishes of those most deeply interested in the welfare of the people of India, which can only be promoted by attracting the public mind in England to their unhappy condition, Mr. BUCKINGHAM intends to publish his Journal Once a Fartnight, issuing a Number of the pro• sent size and price, on the Ist and 16th of every month, so u to unite, by this increased frequency of appearance, the advantages sir e a Newspaper with those of a Magazine and Re v iew . This arre ar s' ment will insure its being earlier at. .l fuller in all that forms the de. partmeut of its Indian Intelligence,whether Civil or Military, Mee" candle, or Political, as well as in its Reports of Public I)ebates England on all subjects connected with the Government or Co. coerce of India, than can possibly be effected by any Monthly Pe riodical; at the same time that it will admit of its including within its pages such a number and variety of Original Articles, on Indian and European topics, as could not be compressed within the usual limits of a Weekly Paper—thus afroiding the defects and securing the advantages of each. The demand for this Work in India has been already so great, that One Thousand Copies of each of as several Numbers that had arrived in that country had been sold off within a day after their being landed ; and more copit4 have been ordered to be sent to all the Presidencies, as well as to the remoter Settlements. To meet this, and the increasing sale of the Work in England, which has progressively advanced during the last sir months, it has been found necessary to have separate and eaclu • I sive establishment fur its publication, which will in future be at No. 33, Old Bond -street, where Communications for the Editor, Orders for the Publisher, and Advertisements for the Printer of The Oriental Herald are requested to be addressed. It will continue to be sold also by Mr. J. M. Richardson, 23, Cornhill, and by all Booksellers in Town and Country. ROBEERY.—Yesterday evening a robbery was com mitted in the house of Mr. JAMES WIGGING, an inde pendent Gentleman, residing in Grove-terrace, Lam beth, whose premises were entered by some daring de predators, and robbed'of a very considerable quantity of / silver plate, wearing apparel, &c. The villains it appeared, gained access from the garden at the back of the premises, and although the robbers could have been but a short time there, they succeeded in ransacking the house of the above property, and escaping with their plunder without any trace of detection. . 0 Vii■ ASSI7B INTELLIGENCE. MAIDSTONE, DECEMBER 14. The Winter Jail Delivery commenced here today, before the Hon. Mr. Justice Bunnouou and the MM. Mr. Baron (haaow. Ten different persons were indicted and convictedior variqus acts of smuggliug, or resistance to Excise officers, and were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. Oae man (Remington) vas transported for seven Teats. William Skinner and George Collins were indicted under the 57th Geo. HI. c. 9. for being found, in the night of the 27th of November, in a wood belonging to Earl Thanet. in the parish of Ashford, with the in tent to kill game. William Weedgate, gamekeeper to Lord Thanet, proved, that between eight and nine in the evening of the 27th of Novetnber, he was out to look after poachers. He heard the report of a gun in Potter's Corner-wood, belonging to the Earl, and presentlr he saw two men come out of the wood, one of whom had a gun. He at tempted to seize the armed man, who immediately felled him to the ground with a blow on the head from the butt-end of the gue. Witness believed that the pri. soners, whom he had known for three years before, were the men ; but he could not swear positively to their identity. Several other witnesses were examined, who proved that they saw the prisoner Skinner, and another man, near the spot in question, about the time spoken to by the gamekeeper. One witness was called to prove an alibi for Skinner. • Thetase went to the Jury. under the Learned Judge's direction, and they found both prisoners—Net Guilty. EXECUTION AT HERTFORD. Yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, GeorgeWheekr, alias Weaver, and William Jones, who were convicted at the late Hertford Assizes, for the robbery of Mr. Haynes, the Earl Cowper's steward, underwent the awful sentence of the law in front of the County Jail. About four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, three Gentlemen, friends of Jones, arrived at Hertford Jail, and applied to Mr. Wilson for an interview with the culprit; they were introduced to him, and he received them with the most surprising fortitude, he was smoking his pipe, and welcomed them with a shake of the hand. To one of the Gentlemen he said, "I am completely happy ; take my watch as a pledge of my esteem. I shall leave a letter in my great coat pocket, which you will give to Jack Weatherhead, and then I shall die happy. The Gentlemen, at the request of Mr. Nicholson, the Under Sheriff of the county, thee left the prison. The wife of Wheeler was not apprised of his fate till Monday, when, on hearing the sad intel ligence, sbe went into hysterics, and remained so for some time. She left London by the waggon on Toes day morning, and arrived late at night at Hertford, in great despair. At seven o'clock yesterday morning she presented herself at the jail for admission, to take her last farewell of her unfortunate husband ; but, for prudential motives, she was refused the interview. She mailed to the Plough Inn, accompanied by a Gentle man sent by Mr. Wilson. She is a young woman, and had a child three weeks old, at her breast. She resides in Mint-street, in the Borough.—The unfortunate male factors slept soundly-during the night,and at seven o'clock in the morning, the Rev. Dr. Franklin entered their cell, at which time they were in a profound sleep. He aroused ahem, and all three were soon employed in prayer. —Jones appeared truly penitent, but Wheeler seemed to possess great hardihood; at length, however, through the unremitting attention of Mr. Franklin, he became more sensible of his situation, and participated with Jones in his devotional exercises. At a quarter before eight, the malefactors were led from their cells to the Chapel, where they underwent the ceremony of pinion ing. During this operation, Jones shook hands with Sewell, the turnkey, and expressed himself thankful for the kindnesses he had received from him during his confinement. Wheeler said nothing, but appeared to feel much mental misery. They proceeded to the plat- form, attended by the Rev. Mr. Franklin, reading the. Funeral Service. They ascended the steps quickly, and stood firmly on the scaffold. The executioner having adjusted - the ropes, Mr. Wilson gave the signal, the fatal bolt was drawn, and the world closed on them for over.—Wheeler was a native of Kent, and obtained a living by hawking hardware. The night prior to his execution, Wheeler wrote the following letter to his wife, which was delivered to ht r by Mr. Wilson:— " Hertford Jail. Dues Wipe—This comes with my kind love to you, hoping to find you and my dear children all well as it leaves me at present, in the unfortunate situation in which I am now placed. Dear Wife, I hope you will make yourself as happy as you possibly can about me, as I hope and trust the ALMIGHTY will forgive me my past life, and take me fumble everlasting kingdom • and I hope and trust he will prove a father to you and my poor fa therless children. Dear wife, I hope you will forgive me the misery and distress I have left loss and my dear children in, and I hope you will pray to Goa to forgive me also. " Dear wife, I am very happy to think that the last time I saw you we parted good friends • thank GOD for it. Give my best re spects to all my friends and relations, particularly to your uncle John, as I wish to die in peace with all the world, as I should wish to forgive everybody, as I hope to be forgiven myself. Dear wife, I hope you will inform my dear father and mother and bra ther and sisters of my death in the best manner you possibly can.— Dear wife, I have sent you a lock of my hair, to keep for my sake.'s When Jones was about to ascend the scaffold, hi gave Sewell his snuff-box, with the following verse pasted in the lid : u William Jones is my name, and England is my nation; Hertford is my dwelling place, and Cunar is my salvntion. When I am dead, and in my grave, and all my bones are rotten, Take up this box, and think of me, that I may not be forgotten. And when this you see remember me, and bear me in your mind ; Let all the world say *hat they will, speak of me u you find." [The gift of Wm. Jones to Wm.

D. a married woman, living with her husband, at whore house Mr. Fauntleroy was a constant daily and nightly vie. tor. In return for this accommodation, Mr. Fauntleroy allowed the Lady £5OO a-year for pocker-meney, besides presenting her annually an East India Company's bond for £IOOO, to form a deposit or re tiring fund for Mrs. 1). whenever their intimacy might cease. A town and country-house were likewise kept, the latter at one time at Richmond, and at another at Crawley, at a charge to Mr. Faun.. leroy of £5OO per annum, which houses, to prevent disclosure, were taken in the name of the Lady's husband. It farther came out at this investigation, that another most expensive establishment was kept up at Mr.Fauntkroy's cost, including, among other items, two carriages, two boxes at the Opera-house, and that Mr. Fauntleroy was in the habit of paying the Lady's Christmas bills foreaillinery, jewellery, Etc. besides the presents made her. The result of these investigations has been the recovery of several thousands (we hear 10,000 l.) of the creditors money; and if the assignees per/tetras the same train of inquiries in otheriquarters s theta is little tioabt of a simile issue is favour of the estate. _ 04, 1 1~ r it i 4 I
