consider the word Jemmy" used in the mita to mean Mr. James Clegg, jun. Cross•examined—The father of the prosecutor was also called James. John Dawson was called to prove that the defendant bad read the letter at a meeting of the workmen; but as it appeared that the transaction had taken place after the indictment was found, his evidence was not insisted upon. The letter containing the libel was then read. Mr. COLTMAN addressed the Jury for the defendant. There were two points, he said, necessary to be proved, befote the Jury could find a yrs:het against the drfen dart. In the first place they most be satisfied that the prosecutor was the person alluded to in the letter by the name of ...Jemmy," and in the nest they must be satisfied that the letter had a tendency to injure the into contempt. name of the prosecutor, and to bring him contempt. Now it had been proved that the father of the prosecutor was called James as well as the prose cutor, and therefore, for ought that appeared, the letter might apply to him as well as to his son. He contended also that no person who knew the prosecutor would think worse of his character on account of the letter which had just been read, for it was evidently an angry and inflamed effusion from a man who imagined that he had been imposed upon, and as such it would appear to the world. If the indictment had contained a count, charging the intention to have been to excite a breach of the peace, then it might possibly have been supported; but, as it was, he submitted that the proof had failed. He could scarcely imagine what could have induced the prosecutor to institute an expensive proceeding of this sort against a poor man lace the defendant. It could n, , t be a d-sire to vindicate his character, because he must be ..ware that in the Ilia of an indictment,qhe question of the truth or falsehood of the libel could nor arise, an.l therefore that his character could not be affected either one way or the other. He (Mr. Catalan) hoped that the Jury would g ive the ca s e a fair inves tigation, and unless they were satisfied on both the points to which he had adverted, return a verdict for the defendant. Mr. Baron Huctocur summed up, and the Jury found the defendant EDWARDS V. DALTON. Mr. PoLt.omc (with whom was Mr. PARKE) stated the plai;•trtrs case. The action was hronght to recover the 'sene of a quantity of jewellery which the plaintiff, who was a jeweller residing at Birmingham, and who travelled to different places to dispose of his goods, had carried to the house of the defendant, who was an inn keeper, and which had by some means or other been stolen. The law on the subject was plain. An inn keeper was, in regard to property brought to his house, in the nature of an insurer, and was bound either to take care of that property or to make good the loss. The Learned Gentleman then stated the circumstances as they were afterwards proved in evidence. Robert Ousey stated, that he was a porter. Recol lected going on the 25th of April last to the British Volunteer, in Deansgate. Manchester, which was kept by defendant; the plaintiff went with him; witness car ried a bag and a trunk; the defendant told them to go up stairs, as they were painting below. There were two rooms up stairs; one of them was called the tra vellers room, and the other the club room. it servant girl who accompanied witness and the plaintiff told them to put the luggage into the club room ; the plaintiff said that he had rather it was taken into the travellers' room. N r objection was made, and the luggage was put into the travellers* room ; witness did not hear the defendant give any directions. James Bradbury examined—l am a hairdresser, and live in Manchester; I have dealt with the plaintiff for seals and rings ; I have seen trays and other articles of that sort with the plaintiff; I have seen the plaintiff five or six times in Manchester with things for sale; I saw him on F'iday, the 25th of April last, at half-past ten o'clock in the morning ; I accompanied him to the Bri tish Volunteer Inn, into the tmellers room; plaintiff produced several valuable articles, which were in a mahogany box; I purchased to the amount of between 71. acid 81. The articles which the plaintiff showed me were seals, rings, brooches; thimbles, ear-ting , , spec tacles, Ike. In my opinion the articles were worth 4001. at least. • Cross-examined by Mr. Wfwasts—The defendant has kept the British Volunteer 14 years; I have often been there; there is a bar and tap-room below; the house is frequented by travellers from the north; Dever knew the plaintiff bring so many goods before; I never valued such a stock. Joseph Waterhouse--I am a jeweller at Manchester; I have been in the habit of dealing with the plaintiff for five or six years ; I saw hint on the 25th of April at my shop; he had a trunk with him, containing jewellery, which he showed me; I should think the value of the whole of the contents to be about 5001. I know the value of such articles as well as most retail dealers ; I bought 2ftLworth, and lett him in my shop with the box ; I saw him in the afternoon, and asked him for some more brooches, which he brought me. Joseph Waits stated, that on the 25th of April he was staying at the defendants house, where he saw the plain tiff, about a quarter before three in the afternoon. I saw him *pen his box and take out some jewellery, with which be went away. Plaintiff put the box in a carpet bag. Two strangers came into the room about three o'clock, and a Mr. Appleton soon after; I la ft the two strangers and Mr. Appleton in the room ; there appeared to be many articles in the plaintiff's bag; witness had seen the strangers before, but not iii the travellers' room ; they had been staying at the inn some days.— Witness returned to the inn about six o'clock ; all was then in confusion, and the plaintiff was declaring that he had bees robbed ; witness went to the police office with plaintiff, and Lavender, the officer s went to the ion, and examined the plaintiff's box ; the frames had been taken ow. Witness accompan ed plaintiff to Liver pool to search after the strangers ; they went also to Birmingham and other places, but they could not find the strangers. Cross-examined by Mr. WILLIAMS— Travellers were usually shown into the travellers' room. A great num ber went to , the defendant's house. There was not a better second-rate house in Manchester. Witness be lieved that luggage was usually carried to the _club room, which was kept lucked excepj when persons wanted to gat anything ou . Did not know that the key was usually kept in the bar. The two strangers were reapectible-louking men. Atter the robbery, heard the plaintiff say that the thieves had not disco vered the part where the money was, and that sovereigns and from forty to fifty light guineas had escaped. Understood that the money was the produce f some of the plaintiff's articles There was t hair trunk which was not examined by Lavender. Heard that there was a packet at Liverpool about to sail at tea o'clock. Wi ness and plaintiff were directed to be there at nine to sear& for the strangers, but witness could non ger plaintiff to start without his breakfast, and alum they got to the packet they were too late to examine it. Thole were many persons on deck. Witness was dis. appointed, but the plaintiff bate it very well. Wi.ness wanted to go to the police offi:e. but the plainiff ob jected, and said there was no necessity. Witness met a police man, whom he whited to employ, but plaintiff refused, saying the police man was a scoundrel, and the property would not be safe in his hands. The hair trunk went to Liverpool with the plaintiff. Witness never lilted it ; it was always carried by the plaintiff. Re-examined—Tim plaintiff as as able to carry the trunk as witness. St~phrn L 'vender, a constable, proved that he had gone to defendant's house, and examined the box, which appeared to have been broken open. J b Sheriff, from the Assay-office at Birmingham, proved that he had assayed upwards of 200 ounces of gold annually for t' e plaintiff, and 150 ounces within the first six months of the present year. Plaintiff did twice the business with the Assay-office of any other jeweller in Birmingham. Mr. BROUGHASI (with whom was Mr. WILLIAMS) ad• dressed the jury for the defendant, and contended that the loss had happened through the negligence of the plaintiff, and therefore the defendant was not liable to make it good. He should prove that the plain tiff had been told that the club-room was the place where luggage was deposited, and that the key had been brought for the purpose of opening the door to deposit it there, but that the plaintiff had preferred to have it taken into the travellers room. The Learned Counsel also made some remarks upon the supineness of the plaintiff in searching atter the two strangers at Liverpool. Several witnesses were then called, and amongst them some travellers who were in the habit of fre. quenting the de'endant's house. They stated that it was a rule of the house, well undei stood by all per sons who went there, that the club-room was the place for the deposit of valuable luggage. The bar-maid also swore that when the plaintiff came to the defendant's house, she accompanied him up stairs with the key of the club-r oom in her hand, and wished to deposit his luggage there; hut that the plaintiff refused, saying that he had always carried it before into the travellers' room, and that it would be safe enough there. Mr. PoLr.ocic replied. Mr. Baron Hum.ocic told the Jury, that it was true that by the common law an innkeeper was bound to an swer for the safety of any goods which his guests brought into his house; but if they thought that in the present case the plaintiff had taken his property under his own care, alai that the loss had ensued in conse quence of his own neglect, then the innkeeper would not be liable. The Jury then retired, and after a long deliberation found a veldict for the plaintiff—Damages 401. Canwit Cousr—Before Mr. Juitice BAYLEs. James WM/tie : 4 was indicted for feloniously killing and slaying h s wife, Mary Whitelegg, at Hultn. Mr. BKANDT stated the case for the prosecution, from which it appeared that the prisoner and his wife had lived on very bad terms together, in consequence of a constant habit of intoxication in which the latter in dulged. A quarrel took place in the end of May last, in the course of which the prisoner struck the deceased several violent blows on the body. Her death took place in about a week afterwards. The surgeon who examined the body after death stated that he found the right side of the liver ruptured, and that he considered that to be the cause of death. He thought that the injury must have been occasioned by a violent blow or by a fall. In cross-examination, the surgeon stated that the death of a person injured in the manner described would take place in a few hours. Mr. Justice Barter upon this told the Jury, that although it seemed plain that the death of the deceased had been occasioned by some description of violence, yet as she had not died until a week after her quarrel with the prisoner, and as, according to the statement of the surgeon, her death must have ensued a few hours ' after the infliction of the violence which had occasioned it, he did not think that the blows given by the prisoner could be considered as the c4use of the death. He should therefore direct them to acquit the prisoner. Verdict—. Aot POLICE IN I'ELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Wiilimn Ike., a lad about 16 years old, was charged by George Godfrey, a constable of Sc. Sepulchre's, with wantonly ill treating a sheep in Smithfield market, yesterday morning. The officer said the head of the sheep was projecting through the railings of the pen, and the prisoner, by way of diverting himself, struck it a violent blow upon the head, with a large knobbed stick. The animal wail completely stunned. Prisoner said be did not strike it at all—be only hit the rail. The officer replied that he did not deny it when he seized him, but said in juitikation that the animal bad been troublesome, and running about. He was positive the blow fell upon the sheep. The Alderman Anil the prisoner 101. which he paid and was discharged. T. Sullivan and B. Dillon, two Irishmen, were charged with assaults. Thorn, the Assistant Overseer of Cripplegate, said he was going through Grub street on Sunday afternoon, and observing Sullivan fighting with another man, be interfered, and the latter immediately walked cif, but Sullivan ran after wittiesa, when he had proceeded a few yards, seized hint by the collar, tore his shirt, and complained that the other man ought to have been taken to the Compter. Wit ness was compelled to struggle with him, and throw him down, but still the prisoner followed him, and he was at length obliged to call in the assistance of Scott, a constable, to secute him. Before they had left Grub -street, ant attempt at rescue was made by Dillon and another Irishman, who knocked Scott down, and kicked him. In the fall be broke his kg, and the report at the hospital that morning was, that he w.as in considerable danger. Sullivan took nu part in this assault on Scott. Me. Alderman Amstar said, as the man was in danger. he would remand ho h prisoners till Wednesday. Although Sullivan had nut attacked Scott, a little punithment would do him good. Another Irishman, named John Ililex was committed to Bride well for seven days, for wilfully committing damage to the amount of ten shillings. Being detected in purloining rid. which another man had laid down to pay for some beer, at the White Swan in Fetter-lane, he wrapped a handkerchief about his hand, and dashed it through a bar window, demolishing the pane of glass, a transparency, a goblet, and a sugar basin). The prisoner said it was an accident, but Mr. Savage of Fatter lane contradicted this, and said it was as deliberate and malicious an act as he bad ever witnessed ; and the prisoner being unable to make compensation, was committed, a■ above stated. BOW-STAB ET. Since the discovery of the extensive system of plunder to which Mr. Calved!, the ironmonger in the Haymarket, has been subjected, the oMcers employed In investigating the case have been unremitting in their exertions to trace the property, and the result has been the detection of a man, who it appeats has been the principal receiver of the stolen goods. Yesterday John Soler" alias Sadden pe, was placed at the bar before air IL Litman, charged as above. . _ A large sack, containing a variety of expensive Are.irons, bras. cocks, metal teapots, and other articles of a similar description, ali of which had been seised at the prhoirer's residence In Somers'- town, was placed in from of the Bench, and Upson, the oTce►, having been sworn, deposed, that the property now produced was seised by him on the prisoner's premises. Sir It. Mons asked the prisoner if he felt inclined to give any account of the way in which he became possessed of these goods? The prisoner replied that he could not charge his 'turnery wish s eases account of the goods. The principal part of them, bow ever, be had purchased from a man named Henry Weirdo' working ironmonger, who some .time ago was in booinoss for himself in Bekaa-street. Sir lilhairrs—Did Ward keep a shop or warehouse when you bought these articles from Dim? primmer—No, be used to hawk goods about. I have bought a great deal of goods from people in this way. St: It. Butsts—indeed! I suppose you have get your bills of parcels to produce? Prisoner—No, I have not, your Worship. Sir it. lisants--.But you have your invoices and receipts to pro. duce have you not ? The prisoner replied that be mem kept any account whatever of the goods be purchased. He never entered any thin/ be bought. , but kept an amount of what be sold only. Sit R, !halos.--Du you mean to say that the articles now pro duced were purchased by you from this p e rson Ward ? Thu prisoner, after WIN hesitation, &strewed in the afibmative. Mr. Caswell, alter summing several articles, observed, that be bad no doubt wh e r but that the who!e date property produced bad been stolen from his warehouse. His private marks, bow. ever, were in general almost obliterated, but enough remained to enable hint to swear distinctly to a great portion of the property " This tea-pot, for instance," observed Mr. Calwell, " I con swear was in my warehouse. I know it by one of our private marks, the shadow of which I can just discover." Sir It. limas (to the prisoner)— At what price might you have bought this tea pot ? Prisoner—l suppose I might have given about es. for it. Mr. Caiweli observed that the shop price of it was es. Prisoner—l could buy a hundred of them within an hour at 25. 3d. each. Sir It. Braun—l make no doubt of that ; but if you obtained thew: goods honestly, and at a fait price, where was the necessity for obliterating the marks? Tile prisoner made no reply. A patent lock of a peculiar construction was here produced from amongst the articles, and identified by Mr. Calwell as his property. The Magistrate asked the prisoner how be became possessed of this lock? The prisoner replied, that to the best of .his recollection he bad it frem Ward, who told him be bought it to put upon a Gentle. man's wine cellar, but it proved too tap -naive for that purpose.— He added. " I think I give Vs. or Ms. for it." A person in she empl.qment of Mr. Calwell, after having ex am tied the goo 4, s .id b- bad every reason to believe that the whole. f the property piOduced was stolen front his master's ware. liost4e. 31r. Calwell never sold goods to retail again. Sir R. Btame—l suppose you would know Ward, if you were to see him again ? Prisoner—l think I should. Sir R. BIANIK directed the gaoler to bring forward the other prh.nuers. Henri Ward, William Downes, and Isaac Fryer, were accordingly brought forward and placed at the bar along with the prisoner. Sir It. BIRNIZ—Now, Mr. Saticoy, do you know any thing of these men ? Mr. Scultop—l know Ward ; he h the person 1 mean who lived in 11.4:on-street, from whom 1 purchased these goods. Ward here denied all knowledge of Scultop. The latter, however, persisted in asserting that he purchased the bulk of the property produced from Ward. " This lock, for instance," observed the Magistrate, " Scultop says he bought from you, and gave you v4s. or 345. for it." Ward vehemently denied that such was the fact. The Magistrate asked Scultop how long he had had the patent lock in his possession ? Sculrop—l should think I have had it for the last two years. Sir R. Smog observed the prisoner was evidently mistaken, as the patent fur the luck had only been obqgned within the last 911 month.. The evidence having been closed, the Magistrate observed, that he should commit the prisoners for trial; but u the guilt of Downes was not so flagrant as his companions, he (the Alsgistrate) should avail himself of a late Act, and take bail for his appearance. Downes thanked the Magistrate, and said he had no doubt of being enabled to procure bail, The witnesses were then bound over to prosecute W. Downes and Isaac Fryer as principal', in the robbery, and Ward and Scul• top were committed for receiving the property, koowisas it to be stulent MA RYA A..BONNE. William Young. driver of a Paddington stagecoach, was charged with wanton and furians driving. The cue was proved by David Montagne, Eq. of Sessez-place, Regent's Park, who saw the defendant racing with Mien, another coachman, in the New-road, on the 15th inst. and, to get Winn him, drive furiously through the wrong, or off-side gate, of Battle. Bridge turnpike. The defendant said his horses were not galloping. " Not both of them, I admit," replied Mr. Montague " bet one of them was trotting at the rate of fifteen miles an bo or, and the other galloping to keep up with it. I drive a groat deal in the New road, and am surprised so few accidents happen, for you Padding ton coachmen pay no respect to the right side of the road." " And can nothing about life and limb," added Mr. Grimm. He was fined 10s. and threatened with a much heavier penalty in future, if be repeated the offence. Thomas Maly, a journeyman baker, was charged with embez zling monirt belonging to Mr. John Mills, of Edgewarocoad, his matter. This appeared to be an aggravated we, and the Magistrate cons. mended Mr. Mill's determinatioo to prosecute as an example to others, and fully committed the prisoner for triaL WORSHIP.STREET. Charles Chevaliers was charged at the instance of the parish of ken of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, with a violent assault upon Susan Lawyer, his daughter in law, seven or eig.it years of age.— Ordered to find bail. LAMBI•.TI-I.STREET. Two men named Chandler and )1..,a, employed by the Commis. sionera of Pavements, were chargi a by Mt. Atkinson, of Wi-U -close-square, with committing a tri...pass upon his premises and de stroying his pavement. The complainant said that uo Friday last the two (nets tore tip the pa ve m ent i n ( tont of his house, which be considered to be his private propel ty. Mr. Unwin, the Solicitor, said that the Commissioners were authorised in what they had done by the 57th of Geu. 111. cap.:.. and the Magistrates being of the same opinion, discharged the two men. lamer Cunningham, aged 15, was charged by Mr. Bridge, a baker, with embezzling •arious AIMS of money to a very great amount. A customer of air. Badge proved paying the priaotiez a bill to the amount of el. 4s. for which hr gave a receipt.—The prisoner was folly committed. THA %IRS POLICE. PRIVILY:OEII OF TIM WATIMISIN'III COMTANT.--YrSterdly an in. formation was exhibited by Mr. Itule, master of the Swiftsure steamer, against Mews. Barnes and Poster, owners of the new Gravesend packet the Sophia and Jane, for plying for passengers without being licensed by Inc Uatermen's Company. I'ovey, from the Custom House, showed the Registry of the vessel. Mr. Jones, clerk to the Watennen's Company, proved that Mr. Barnes was not a freeman of that Company.—ln his cross-examina tion by Mr. Ryland, he denied the possibility of the name of any person applying fur his freedom being omitted by mistake. A per.on in the employ of Rule proved having, oe the 19th of August, paid at Purfieet 2s. 6d. for his passage from London by the Sophia and Jane, in which he went to Gravesend. Mr. Ryland having taken a preliminary objection to the mode in which the defendants, not being freemen, was proved, pro- ceeded to prove that the Sophia and Jane was not of that descrip tion which the Legislature contemplated should come within the jurisdiction of the Company. If this veisei were con sidered of that denomination, the Company might with equal propriety demand that every vessel sailing out of the flame-, no matter where his destination, should have a freeman of their Company for its Master. The terms used in the Act were, " wherries, fiat boats, barges, lighters, and other craft ;" but not a single word was said about steam or other sailing vessels. Tee Sophia and Poe was a ship propelled by steam, for the coasting and foreign trade, and be contended she could not be considered as ' coming within the denomination sought for. In the course et ar gument, be took a review of the clauses of the Company's Act, which, he declared, never would have been granted if such a ma strolls power as that now sought for was claimed. After some farther conversation, Mr. Bitoosair adjourned the case for one week, when be would give his opinion. UNION—HALL. John Simmonds, a seaman, lately discharged from the King's service, was yesterday charged with stealing a silver watch sad some money, the property of Maurice Rowland. On Saturday night the prosecutor and prisoner occupied an apartment at a public house in Charles-street, Newington. The following morning at an early hour the prosecutor missed his property. The landlord searched the room, and under the prisoner's bed the watch was found, and some giver in his pocket. The prisoner denied in the most 'ottani manner having touched the property. Mr. Hong told him that the case must go before a Jury, and committed the Frisoner tut trial. SINGULAR DIRECTIONS !OR HIS FUNERAL, ET THE LAT/ Da. klarta."

There being no farther evidence, the Jury consulted about half an hour, and then returned a verdict of—. Accidental Death," with a deodand of Si. on the coach and horses. Saturday afternoon a Coroner's Inquest was held st St. Bartholomew's Hospital, before THOMAS SHIM!, Esq. on the body of William Castors, a lad about twelve years of age, who, it was alleged, had been killed by his own father. Sarah Newell deposed, that she was employed in the lard of Mr. Sinnott, the dust con- tractor of Clerkenwell Parish. On Friday, the 15th instant, about four o'clock in the afternoon, witness and two other women were at work on the dust-hill, at the corner of Coppice-row, Clerkenwell. The deceased and his father were there also—the former had some cold tea in a pint pewter pot. The father asked the deceased to give him some of the tea,and not to drink it all himself, The deceased laughed, and handed the pot to his father, who drank the remainder of the tea, but appeared to be vexed at the deceased having left so little of it. He then in a passion threw the empty pot at the deceased; it struck him on the side of the bead. The deceased had not a hat oil at the time; he fell immediately, and witness saw that his head was bleeding; his father instantly picked him up, and took him to a sumy who advised his removal to the above hospital. Rosetta Flint and Olive Ashley confirmed the above evidence. Mr. John Wiz, one of the house surgeons, stated, that he examined the deceased on his arrival there, and bowed a wound on the side of the head. It was dressed, sled every thing necessary was done for the deceased, be without avail, and he expired on Thursday last. The Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder" against John Casino, she father of the deceased, and the Corona issued x w .rrant fur his apprehension. BIRTH. The 21st inst. in Chester -street, Grosvenor-place, the Lady of John Key, Esq. of a daughter. . MARRIED. A matliage was celebrated at Clewer Church, no Thursday, under circumstances of a somewhat romantic &stria tion. The bridegroom is at present a private lately enlisted la the Ist Life Guards, which is quartered in Windsor ; the bride, a young Lady of great personal attractions, the natural daughter of an Ida Nobleman, who died a short time back, leaving bee handsomely provided for. It appears that the parties were already engaged, when a serious difficulty presented itself. The relatives of the Gentleman, who is most respectably connected, objected to the liaison, on account of inequality of condition; and the guardians d the young Lady put their veto on the match for a similar reasoa.— Under these circumstances, the disconsolate youth immediately en listed as a private In the Life Guards; but the fact soon coming to the knowledge of his fair assorion, she determined, at whatever risk, to reward his constancy with her hand at least, if not her fonune. The Lady, who had been staying some days at one of the priocipd inns, arrived at the above church in a carriage on Thursday morning, while her intended was compelled to walk to the altar in his stable dress. The happy pair were married by special license. The brick groom bas since made some exertions to get his discharge, but it seems that, according to the rules of the Regiment in which be ser►es, a man is obliged to nod two substitutes preciously to ob taining his own discharge.
