SMITH (Custos), J. BICHNELL, and G. H. TOWNSEND, presided. Andrew Marble, slave to J. Dawkins, Esq. for practis ing Obeah, and for having in his possession various ar ticles notoriously used in such practice, was placed at the Bar. Edward Graham, a black slave, examined as to his idea of the nature of an Oath. CMAIRMAIL—Are ybu christened ?—Yes. Cuatassax.—lf you takke the book and kiss it, and answer false, what will happen to you?—l will dead. CkIAIRMAL—And where will you then go to ?—To Heaven. Cnarassarr.—Suppose you sweat false, what will happen to you ? —Me will purge, and my belly will swell. (This he retreated several dme.l). Custawas.—He does not understand the nature of an oath.— Yes, Massa ; knovivreU; belly will swell. The Cnasassaa desired thit he should be examined without ad ministering the oath. The witness. was then admonished, and told, that if he swore false, he would suffer the same punishment as the prisoner would be subjected to.e Witness deposed, that his mother was sick. She and prisoner were conversing together. but he did not know what they were talking about. Witness asked prisoner, as he was sent to his mother by the overseer, why be would net go?. -Prisoner told him he was not a doctor. Witness told him that he did his mother so (made his mother sick). He (prisoner) said he was going to see what he could do, whether he could get her better or not. Prisoner told him the iron in his mother's back stapd cross, and if it came out she would be better. Witness explained, that the prisoner meant that there was an iron bar across his mother's back bone, under her skin. Prisoner said, " she had too many things in her skin, besides the iron bar, for there was tools, and glass, and nough tunic." Witness carried him up to the overseer, who asked prisoner if what witness told him was true ? and witness said, " you can't deny it ;" prisoner only answered, " I hear you."— Heard prisoner say he took teeth from his mother's back. When prisoner first began, he stripped his mother naked, called for water, then rum, and put his mouth to his mother's skin, sucked it, spit out teeth, then glass, and was going on. Witness asked why he bit his mo. ther ? He said 44 to get out the sunk." Witness then made him believe he was asleep, (and it appears did go to sleep). When awake, he said to prisoner, that be fore he made his mother cry, he'd rather kill her, as he could not bear to see it. Prisoner told witness there was something in the ground which did his.mother so, and which he might take out, who refusing, prisoner took out himself teeth, some pieces of glass.bottle, other things,.all tied up together. Witness asked how these things could catch his mother? Prisoner teplied. io • you take a hair out of a person's head, and put it int* the ground with them :Ante, it will catch the somebod the hair come from." Witness saw the articles. Pr'. soner told him to open the bag, but he would not. Noii, for the first time, (the bag being pioduced), opens, it (by order of the Court). On the prisoner's opening it, witness found teeth and other things in it. , Saw articles himself taken out of hit mother': He does not now see aoy fire coal, which he pike, saw s:A 'before his mother died. These things were gives by witness, to be thrown away. Witness's rnoteei died two days after these things were taken out of rier skin Witness now explained himself, by stating that these ar ticles are like those given him, but without the fire coal. Has at home what were given him. Does not know how the prisoner came to know he had not throwndiebt away; but when witness told him he had done so, OA soner said he lied, for he had hid them. " Prisener,t4o kno win and trickily, and very clever in obea businesse He said, if witness gave him breakfast he would c his mother, or would prisoner be satisfied, if he could* cure her quite, if she was made strong enough to mire fire for him? witness said he would. Prisoner asked if witness would pay him then? Witness said, yes, if he Was forced',to borrow to give him. Witness s . mothee was ill fora very , long time, and was thrown rip as an invalid. Prisoner only took the cure about twin or three months before she died ; thinks his mother would have died whether prisoner had been with het or no.. Prisoner said that he was set on by persons to hurt her. She was ill for a year and a half of the same sickness. Anthony James, a Christian, sworn:—Was directed by the overseer to take prisoner to the old woman named Pamila. He went with him to the old woman. Prisoner asked for salt, which was given him. He went out And (cot some lime, called for rum, which he got, threw it into rum and salt, and took out a bag from his pocket (which was produced). Prisoner opened it, and :hewed the witness some soap berries, chalk, and shell ; took sir, threw them in water, when four swam and two sunk ; he ,said there was something in the old woman's skin ; ,he took chalk and marked the old woman's skin; put his-mouth to the old woman's skin, held it hard, and shook it like a dog biting, and spit out some glass and teeth, which he said came out of the old woman's skip; witness searched prisoner's mouth, saying, " No, Mar ble, you have it in your mouth and make me fool;" found nothing in prisoner's mouth, who again sucked out teeth and glass bottle ; swears he saw it with his eyes—would not believe it else; after that he took lime and rubbed all over her, then mixed the chalk and lime, and bid her drink, which she refused, saying, if it was good be must drink too, but priioner would not. Prisoner left the old woman; she complained of hit hurting her, and he was sent again by the overseer to take charge of her. Mr. Edmund Whittaker sworn—ls overseer of the property; some time in January last, the old woman Pamila, who is now dead, made a complaint to him that this man, the prisoner, had obeahed her. He sent for him and asked him how he bad done such,a thing, and whether he could cure her ? He told witness he was not a doctor, but would try what he could do; witness then told him to go and attend the old woman, as she had requested it. Prisoner is considered an obeah Man, though no guilt could be attached to him preiiously. The Doctor is not in attendance. 'To a question by a Juror-*--Witness replied, that the old woman • By one of the clauses of the Slave Law, it It provided, that a false witness shall suffer the leant punishment as the prisoner Would be subject to, if found guilty. It is under this clause, we believe, that slaves, not aware of the nature of a Christian oath, are ad. witted to give existence without sworn. . - • said, in the presence of prisoner, that no other but prisoner could etire her, when prisoner said he would try. To a question from a Juror he replied, that the deceased was sick fifteen months before the prisoner attended her; the deceased bad said in witness's and the prisoner's presence, that the prisoner did her so because she would not let hiss hove connection • with her. The bogs' teeth, broken glass, chalk, fire-coal, dogs' teeth, goats' born, shark bones, soap berries, and three or four alligator scales, with sundry outer Obeah tools in the bag, were produced in evi dence, and identified as the prisoner's. The prisoner, in his defence, commenced by stating, that he was not an Obeah man - to kill, but an Obeah man to cure (that is, we, suppose, art they used to say in England, he was nut a black wizaard, nor a whitney white * nor grey wizzard, but a white one). The Cana: advise d him to be silent, and not convict himself. The CHAIRMAN charged the Jury. After adverting at some length -to the 'clauses (the 49th and 53d) of the Consolidated Slave Law,„uncler.which the prisoner was indicted, he said, that though the law stated, that if the subject matter of an indictment were set out so as to meet the evidence,, that no exception should be al lowed as to form, yet he considered - the words of the dictment too vague to sustain the count under which the prisoner, being charged " with practising Obeah, with interim) kill and injure certain negro and other slaves," would be subject to lose his life. The law, in requiring that no objection should be taken as to form, was most salutary ; but it •could not be construed so as to stlP port the present case. The Jury would consider what the Court stated to be their impression, that the words " certain negro and other slaves" did not set out the of fence so precisely, as might have been done, and as the Court considered necessary. With regard to the charge against the prisoner, of having materials in his posses sion, notoriously used in the practice of Obeah, there can, we submit (said the Chairman), be no doubt of the prisoner's guilt. This hist offence subjects him to transportation.—His Honour then read the clause of the law under which the prisoner was indicted, and com• mented on the evidence. The Jury retired for some time, and returned their verdict — Guilty of having in his possession materials notoriously used in the practice of Obeab. On the suggestion of the Coroner, the Jury desired the Clerk of the Peace to amend their verdict, by adding the Words " Not guilty of the other charges in the indictment." Ht. Worship, the Chairman, then passed sentence. He thus ad dressed the prisoner : You have been found Guilty of having in your possession, tools notoriously used in the practice of Obeab, for this offence you are subject to transportation ; you have most wonderfully escaped with your life, your offence is most heinous ; (the prisoner here said, in a low voice, Ees, my good Massa; tanke" evidently not understanding his Worship, who thus con tinued), but you don't understand we, and it is as well I should be short. He then sentenced him to transportation for life.—The Jury valued the old Warlock at LW. • It appears that this was a love case. The wizard lover was an ugly, stupid, monkey-looking African, his face immensely broad and tabby. Mr. GREEN ascended from Shrewsbury in his balloon on Monday, at 20 minutes before five o'clock. From the calmness and clearness of the sky, the balloon was visible for nearly three-quarters of an hout.. 'After as cending to a considerable height, it moved horizontally for some time in the direction of Wellington, when it became invisible. The crowd was immense. Last week, as Lieutenant JAMES, of his Majesty's ship Argonaut, and a party of friends, were returning from an excursion by water to Aylesford, the boat they were in grounded en a shoal above Rochester Bridge, *hen one of the boat's crew, named Waddup, who was R seaman belonging to the Argonaut, in attempting' to (reach the shore to obtain a smaller boat, was drowned, Itithough a good swimmer. A .convict named Woodcock, who was under sen tence of tr ansportation of seven years, connived to make his esoape from Chatham-yard, by the following daring, though, as it proved;' successful plan :—Being employed with about thirty other convicts, white-washing the in terior of the rope-house, he contrived to steal away un observed by the keepers, and seizing some clothes lying near; which belonged to some rope-makers, who were bthily employed closing a cable, he dressed himself in diens, and walked boldly out of the Dock Gates, al though it was mid-day, and being taken for a seaman belonging to some of the vessels lying at the wharfs, he was snared to pass unquestioned. Monday; a short stout man, in a round frock, at tracted considerable notice at Peckham Fair, by giving away to-the crowd little paper pill-boxes, which, when opened, were found to contain neither pills anti-bilious nor analeptic, but very neatly printed watch-papers, ad. vising them to " return home and read their Bibles, rather than follow such evil pastimes, which would ulti mately consign them to the gallows." THE CAMERA OBSCURA.—A visitor happening to be examining with great interest the various lively and ever-shitting figures which were pourtrayed upon the white tablet of a Camera Obscura, at Glasgow, during 'the exhibition, he beheld with amazement the appearance of one man picking another's pocket. Perfectly aware of the reality of this appearance, he opened the door, and recognizing the culprit at a short distance, rap up and seized him in the very act of depredation. It is perhaps unnecessary to add, that he was secured. . A tall stranger, who was last month wandering through the Highlands, supposed to be deranged, and to have seen better days, was the other week found drowned at the entrance of Loch Garry, dear the inn of Towdoune. _ _ The sums at present deposited in the Devon and Exeter Savings Bank amount to nearly 430,00 W. the produce of industry and economy. Monday se'nnight, Mr. Marsh, butler to the Duke of Roxburghe, at ileurs, shot a white swallow. General Fawcett once asked an Irishman, at Munich, if he would fight for a Foreign Crown? e. Aye, or f.r half-a-crown either," said Paddy. Such is the aversion of the Persians to the whole of the canine race, that if a dog touch even the skirts of their clothing, they are thereby defiled, and cannot 4e sume their devotions without changing everything, and undergoing complete purification. The rage for giving fine names to all men, things and qualities, was never more influential than at present All men are Gentlemen, and all women are Ladies- ; -a workman is an " operative"—a boarding school is an " establislautent"—a common farrier is a veterinary surgeon"—and, to crown the whole, a barber or a fid dler will tell-you of his " professional avocations," and a boxer boasts of his " science." Even the lawyers have not escaped the contagion. We rarely hear now of an Attorney. In all cases, even at the Police-offices, there are no persons employed but—Solicitors. We can per ceive no charm in this new title which renders it superior to the old legal name. But if there is any such supe riority, the appellation is at all events improperly ap plied to Gentlemen engaged in proceedings at Common Law. The Lord Chief Justice took occasion to allude to this innovation the other day at the Exeter Assizes, and refused to permit an Attorney in an action to be styled a Solicitor, justly remarking, that there was no reason why Gentlemen Mould be ashamed of the title of Attorney. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDFORD, AUGUST 24. MA NALAUGHT2II. James Sewell, Michael Howe, and Alfred Townsend, were indicted for feloniously, killing and slaying. John Oxley, at Mitchain. It appeared in evidence, that the prisoners and the deceased had been drinking at a public-house, at ; Mitcham. The deceased became quarrelsome, struck the prisoner Sewell, and challenged him to fight. The latter said he would rather treat him to a pot of beer than fight, and endeavoured to pacify him, but in vain. He again struck Sewell, who then agreed to go into a neighbouring field, and settle the matter by fair com bat. The other prisoners were the seconds respectively on the occasion. In the first round, the de; eased received a blow in the throat, which proved mortal. He tea senseless on the ground. The moment Sewell heard that the unfortunate man was insensible, he ran for surgical aid, and did everything that kindness and hu manity could suggest. • He expressed great concern for what had happened, and surrendered himself into custody. The deceased died in consequence of the blow he had received. On opening his head, there was a considerable quantity of extravasated blood suf fused on the brain, which in the opinion of the surgeon caused death. The Jury acquitted the seconds, hut found Sewell Guilty, and he was sentenced to one month's imprison ment in the County Jail. James Barnett, Richard Smith, John Dillon, Thames Smith, James Mills, and Alfred Leach, were indicted for feloniouly stealing, at Beddington, from a bleaching ground, forty pieces of printed muslin, the property of Samuel Makepeace. . The Jury Acquitted Dillon, Barnett, and Leach, and found Mills, Smith, and Thomas Smith Guilty, but re commended the last to mercy, on account of his ex treme youth. Mills and the elder Smith were sentenced to seven years' transportation, and the younger Smith to one year's confinement in the House of Correction. TIIII KING V. RUTTaIt. This was an indictment against the defendant far an assault upon Samuel Linstead and Richard Bedwell, officers in the Excise. The evidence in this case was very contradictory. Mr. Baron GRAHAM, in summing up the case for the Jury, observed, that they had a very painful duty to discharge on the present occasion, inasmuch that their verdict, whichever way it was given, must condemn the witnesses on the one side or the other, as persons who had come forward to commit the most wilful and corrupt perjury. His Lordship must leave the case to their discrimination and good sense, in order to find their way to a just conclusion on its merits. The Jury., after• deliberating for some time, retired to consider on their ; verdict, and after being out for a considerable time, returned a verdict at the Judge's lodgings of Guilty. • THE KING V. MR JOHN 1 6 HILLIMORIC AND LIEUTENANT ANDRZW DREW. This was an indictment ag a inst the defendants for an assault upon Mr. Richard James, author of the A'aval History of Great' Britain. The circumstances of the case, which have already been before the public, ex cited considerable interest, and its discussion was ex pected to afford some amusement, but as the haur of trial approached, a negotiation took place between the Counsel on both sides, which ended in an arrangement that the defendants should submit to g verdict of guilty, and pay all the costs of the prosecution. A Jury was now sworn, and Mr. ADOLPHUS, who was Counsel for the prOsechtion, informed the Court of the arrangement abovementioned ; and that Mr. tiox, , - LAND, who was Counsel for . the defendants, was in structed ro consent, on behalf *of his cli,ents, to a ver dict of guilty. Mr. RoLLA NB rose, and informed the Learned Judge that he was so instructed, and accordingly a verdict of Guilty was recorded. THE MARKETS. (FROM THE LONDON PRICE CURRINT, AUGUST 24.)
