NUISANCE.-TIIE KING V. HALL. Th's sv,s an indictment against the defendant, a butcher, in Warwick-lane, for a nuisance. The prose cution was piefirsed by the Corporation of London, for the purpose of putting down the slaughtering of oxen, and the disgusting scenes which have long an noyed the passengers and neighbourhood of that part of the City. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, the COMMON SERJEANT, and Mr. IioLLAND, were Counsel for the prosecution. i •• SCARLETT and Mr. GURNEY for t: , e defendant. Several witnesses were called in support of the indictment. The most important evidence was given by Alder man Crowder, who stated, that he had been 37 years , an inhabitant near the spot. He described the slaugh tering houses in Warwick-lane to be a very dangerous and disgusting nuisance. He considered the lives of passengers to be daily in danger, from the droves of horned cattle driven to those houses. Mr. SCARLETT addressed the Jury forthe defendant. He did not mean to contend that the slaughtering houses were not noisome and offensive, but they were unavoidable, inasmuch as the slaughtering of cattle must be carried on in the neighbourhood of the markets. The spot in question had been found time immemorial convenient for the cattle trade of Smith field and Newgate Market, and he should prove a pre scriptive right to carry on the business which the in dictment was brought to remove. The Learned Counsel called several witnesses (butchers residing in Newgate Market), but failed in proving there had been any slaughtering of horned cattle prior .to the last twenty years. As this fact was hostile to prescriptive right, he admitted that his defence had failed, and a verdict of Guilty was recorded. Two other indictments against parties for keeping slaughter houses in Warwick-lane, were then called, and verdicts of Guilty entered on both. ASLETT V. WICKS. This was an action by the executor of a person named Whitebread, to recover the value of a horse, alleged to have been lent by the testator to the defend ant, his son-in-law. The only question was, whether the testator before his death gave the horse to the de fendant out and out, requiring him never to sell the animal? Whitebread was a barge-Master on the River Lea, and having great regard for his horse, which had been an old servant, he declared that he would never suff r him to go out of his family, but keep him from labour until he drooped, and then bury trim on his grcund. The horse was lent, according to the plaintiff's case, to the defendant, tho kept him until Whitt:l3i ead died, and then refused to give him up. The defence was, that Whitebread gave the horse to Wicks.— He was to keep the animal and give him easy work. If old Whitebreal dird before his horse, the dcietulgin: was to kill and bury his old favourite. MUTH V. FARRATT. This was an action oa a contract regarding the sale and delivery of a quantity of pig iron, and it arose en tirely out of the heavy advance which took place in the price of that article during the course of the last year. The cause was entirely destittee of interest, al though it lasted the whole morning, but one or two collateral observations took place which exited some little surprise. The Attorney for the defendant being examined as a witness, admitted that he had apre.tred for certain patties, who were truste,s, wielout their in structions, upon which admission. The LORD Cure* JUSTICE seriously admonished him, and told him that if he pursued that line of conduct, and was bioughi before the Court of King's Bench (it he was an Attorney of that Court) he would be most certainly treated in a manner he ss 091.1 not like. Mr. BROUGHAM made his debut this Term for the de. fence, and bristled on the Chiet Justice applying the term' disgraceful" to the Une of defence set up,—of course by the Attorney for the defendant.

John I ilbury R11:I Thomas million'', were ildicted for assaulting Mr. Dawson, tke headburough of Poplar. The prosecutor, in obedience to the ciders of the vestry, was going his rounds on a Saturday night, to see that all the public-houses were clmel at twelve o'clock. The defendants were drinking at the Com mercial public-house; and the landlord had several times attempted to remove them, but in vain. On ti e appearance of the prosecutor for this purpose, they dis regarded his authority, deprived him of his staff, and with it severely beat him about the head. Several watchmen were called in to the assistance of the head hot ough, and the prisoners were ultimately taken into custody. The prisoners were found Guiley, and sentenced to be imprisoned two months in the House of Correction. &heard Stockman, James Roiae, John French, and John Field, were indicted for a riot, and for assaulting Peter Holt. Field pleaded Guilty, and was ordered to enter into his own re cognizance' to keep the peace. This assault arose nut of a pugilistic combat, which took place on the 11th of July last, in a field near Paddington, where between 2,000 and 3,000 persons were assembled, amongst whom were the ptisoners ; Stockman being engaged in seconding one of the combataws. lhe prosecution was instituted by the Select Ve.try of Paddington, in order to put an end to the disgraceful scenes which these fithts constantly occasion. The prosecutor (Holt), who is a constable, having endeavoured to make his way into the crowd in order to stop the fight, was received with the most violent abuse, which induced him to retire quickly. He then procured the assistance of Bradbury. another constab'e, and bOth proceeded to the spot. Their ap proach was v.on perceived by the mob, who seemed de termined to tesist any interruption in their spoil. The con•tables, however, mule their way through the crowd, and se;zt-d upon one of the ringleaders, whom they proceeded to take into custody. No ve.istatice was miee to this, but they were followed by the whole assembly, and pelted with dirt, bricks, and every mis sile which could be procured. Of course they were most severely injured, and the prisoner whom they bad its custody, was also much hurt, being knocked down by some of the brickbats intended for the offi cers. The prisoners were all proved to have been pi el,en't, and to have tak,n 2n active part in this disturbance. Stockman and Maine asserted that they left the place upon the' first appearance of the constable. After much evidence had been gone through, the Jury found Stockman and Ratite guilty of the riot and assault; and French guilty of the assault only. The CHAIRMAN observed, that conduct of which the prisoners bad been found guilty, deserved the most ex emplary punishment, but as they had already suffered an imprisonment of five weeks, this would account for the indulgent nature of the sentence. Stockman and Raine were ordered to be imprisoned three weeks longer, and to enter into their own recognizances to keep the peace, and French was ordered to be imprisoned seven days and then discharged. JULIET AND THE THUNIE. Among the numerous other questions of assault and battery which occupied the grave attention of the Court, the complaint of the lovely Juliet must not be over looked. We give the fair prosecutris that nanie, be cause she was distinguished in private theatricali for enacting to the life the tender heiress of the Capulets. In one of her tragic moods she happened to suit the word to the action rather oddly, by getting the thumb of her friend, Mrs. Jane Hancock, into her mouth, and almost snapping it off. The morsel, however, though savoury, was tough, and Juliet was forced to content herself with fixing her mark as our Saxon Nobles used to do to their grants ard contracts, by biting it with the " wang tooth." Mrs. Hancock meanwhile was not idle, for while her left thumb was thus indented, her right fingers were employed - in making open woik cif the lovely Juliet's cap, which she tore to tags. Jane it seems got the worst of this contest, for she was car ried off in a tainting state, while Juliet triumphantly finished her soliloquy in a " vault, an ancient receptacle," not amid the " ghosts of her buried ancestors," but amidst spirits of a more congenial nature. Mrs. Hancock, last Sessions, indicted Mrs. Gaurom (so mortals name her whom " the Gods" call Juliet) for biting her thumb: and though the serving men of the Capulets could lawfully bite their own thumbs, as appears by the Poet's testimony—" Sir, do you bite your thumb at us?" " No, Sir, but I do bite my thumb ;" —yet it was held that a L ldy of the House of Capulet could n 't lawfully bite another Lady's thumb, and so Juliet was sentenced to pay a fine to our Laid the King. Her legal advisers, however, encouraged her to turn the tales on Mrs. Jane by a counter indictment, and accordingly Juliet now appeared in the character of prosecui rix, producing as incontrovertible evidence . of Jane's violence, " a thing of shreds and patches , " uh . ch , had been a cap before it was torn in the affray above recorded. Mrs. Ganrom had persuaded herself, that the exhibition of the cap would have produced an effect egos! to that of Mr. Burke's celebrated dagger, Mr. Whitbread's pewter pnt, or Mr. Hume's bandana; but, alas! the Middlesex Jury were no judges of the sublime. They said— What should be great you turn to farce; And laughing to scorn the destruction of Juliet's cap, they acquitted Mrs. Hancock of the assault laid to Ler charge. Solventur risu tabula, to 'luaus abibis. LONDON SESSIONS, OCTOBER 26. Yesterday, these Sessions commenced before the Right !lon. the LORD MAYOR, the LORD MAYOR elect, the REcnnnea, SHERIFFS, and a Bench of Aldermen. Thom is Johnson, a respectable middle-aged man, was indicted for assaulting Mr. James Stephens. Mr. BOLLAND stated the case.—The prosecutor is a Gentleman living on his fortune at Deptford, and the defendant is a person employed in the shipping business, at the same place. They both had come to town from Deptford, on the 30th of June, to attend a sale at Gar raway's. They were too late for the sale, so they went and dined together at the sign of the Bell, in Grace church-street. They had some wine after it, a small quantity he believed. He should tell them that his client's head could not bear even a little liquor, and when he took it it would so effect him, that to strangers his conduct would appear wild and eccentric, and as a man not in the full possession of his faculties. n'hea the bill was brought he objected to some item s , a n d went down stairs to .the bar. In going away, he wished the landlord to add to the account 3s. which had been paid for securing the places in the coach home- • wards. • The landlord refused, saying he •had nothing to do with it, and the defendant then said, "Pho! don't mind him ; don't speak to him, he (meaning the prose tutor) is mad, and I am his keeper;" and with that he took up a stick and beat the prosecutor over the shoulders and sides in a most violvnt manner. The prosecutor appealed for protection to those around him from the violence of the defendant, saying that he was not mad, and disclaimed that the defendant was his keeper. He refused to go with him back in the coach, saying he had property about him, and a Mr. Ward, who happened to be present, offeted his services, and saw him home to Deptford, first having made him de posit, in the safe keeping of the landlord, his money, 901. in notes, his gold watch, and some parchments. Mr. Chides Lennox, the landlord of the Bell, proved the patties being at his house on the day mentioned ; they had a pint of wine. The prosecutor, on going away, quarrelled with the form of the bill, and not the tems. Witness, to indulge him, inserted the words 44 •••• Stephens, Esq." in the bill Thought his con duct rather queer. The defend ant said that the prom cator was mad, and he was his keeper. He made an observation in the tap-room, that he ought to have a guinea a Jay instead of a guinea a week for having the charge of such a fellow. Witness did not see the assault. Mr. Ward, a dealer in turtle, corroborated all the facts of Mr. 13ollandis. opening speech, and added that be saw the prosecutor home to Deptford, 4nd that he was much affected and alarmed by the conduct of the defendant. • Some other witnesses were then called, who also corroborated the facts of the case as stated. Mr. A unt.rmus addreshnd the Jury for the defendant. The NECORDEIL summed up; and the Jury, after some &libera tion, returned a vel diet of Guilty of the simple assault, acquitting hint of any malicious intention, or any attempt on the property of the prosecutor. The Court fined him 101. to be paid to the King, or to be impri soned until such line be paid. SURREY SESSIONS, OCTOBER 26. Mary Jane Sere wits indicted for robbing her master's house of a quantity of linen and plate. Mr. Wallis, an atchitect and surveyor, residing in Great Charlotte.street, Blackfriars•road, stated that the prisoner had been in his service about ten months. On the 31st of August last, he returned, with his Lady, from the country, and found that the prisoner had ab sconded from his house, leaving on the kitchen table the following note, addressed to her mistress: " Madam—lnn consequence of your house being rob'd Busing my absence from home, as induced me to leave you—be asured that I am inocent, and would gladly come back to you again, could you think it proper. I have done everything that lays in my Mumble power to please.—Your humble servant, " J. SE RLE." At first the prosecutor did not suspect that the pri soner was the person who bad robbed the house, but circumstances have stisen, that made it pretty evident that she was the guilty individual. She was traced to her lodgings at No. 12, Eagle. street, Red Lion-square, by an officer, who took from her person fifteen dupli cates of property pledged belonging to Mr. Wallis, principally consisting of linen and plate, the whole of which she had. pledged with different pawnbrokers about town. As many as ten or twelve pawnbrokers were in attendance, to produce plate and linen which they had received from the prisoner. She was found tiuilty, and the Governor of the Jail having informed the Court that she had before been sentenced to suffer death (but which sentence was com muted to four years and a half imprisonment in the Penitentiary), she being deemed an incorrigible cha racter, was sentenced to 14 years' transportation, the full punishment the Cout t could aJjudge for that offence. Two impudent young rascals, named Thompson and Williams, were convived of stealing a coral necklace from the infant child of Mrs. Murray, a_poor shop keeper, of Carlisle-place, Lambeth. The child was playing behind the counter by her• self, and being observed by these two lads, one of them (Williams) stepped into the shop, and tore the necklace from the child's neck. The little girl cried out as well as she was able, " Mother, the boys have taken my beads." And their actions having been also watched by a neighbour, they were instantly purssied and overtaken, with the beads in their possession. They were each sentenced to one year's imprisonment in Brixton Home of Correction. John Russell was indicted . for stealing the sum of ss. the property of Daniel Stroud, a bookseller. The prosecutor's boy stated, that be saw the prisoner take his purse out, and draw money from it. When his m..ster seized him, the prisoner said that he was robbing him, and desired that a constable might be sent for. The CHAIRMAN. in charging the Jury, observed that it was by no means imposbible that the prosecutor might have left 15s. on the counter, and that ss. of it might have gone by other means than the iriaoner.—The Jury dicyuitteil the prisoner. .
