r40..a .. r " LONDON ADJOURNED SESSIONS, FEB. 3. At half-past 10 o'clock the Court sat ; the RECORDER, being obliged to keep to his bed, from severe indis position. Alderman ANSLEY ph esided, attended by Aldermen ATKINS, Lucas, and ScitoLay. There were only two cases of assault heard, where the defendants were already in prison. In the first, Mary Dowley was charged, by Elizabeth Ham, with a violent assault, which arose out of an abusive dis pute, the issue of which was the defendant's striking her in the face, and thereby inflicting sundry bruises and scratches. W. Hill deposed as to the whole transaction, and stated that he heard the plaintiff say, during the affray, that the defendant had hit her twice on the breast. The defendant had nothing to off2r in her defence, only that she received a great deal of provocation, and that she had now been imprisoned one month. Alderman ANSLEY then told the Jury that this was a case of common assault ; perhays tkrey would consider the time she had been in prison a sufficient atonement. Verdict— Not Guilty. The ALDERMAN, ath!ressing the defendant, hoped that her being acquittA would rat embolden her ta commit a second offence of this nature. Margaret Williams was also charged with an assault upon Robert Brain and his wife. The case being made out against her, and a verdict of Guilty being found, the Court sentenced her to iota . - teen days' more imprisonment, and then to eater into her own recognizances to keep the peace. Elizabeth Summers, a pauper, was ordered by the Court to be committed till she could find securities to keep the peace towards Mr. Althorp, a Parish Overseer, whose life she had threatened, for not allowing her the support she thought proper to demand. A Mr. Nathan was ordered to pay, forthwith, the sum of 210/. his recognizance, and which he had for feited by not appearing at the last Old Bailey Sessions, there to answer tha charge of an assault, committed by him upon his servant, the prosecutrix. Jr. ALLEY moved, on the part of the defendant, that if the Court thought fit they might discharge the for feiture of the recognizance., on the defendant's paying all the expenses that the prosecutrix was at in attending, as also that the defendant could ma find out the resi dence of the prosecutrix in sufficient tine to serve notice. Alderman LUCAS said, he had heard this case at the Mansion-house, and had followed it up. Ile found that the defendant had attempted to carry the case into the King's Bench, thinking that the prosecutrix could not, for want of funds, appear in that Court, but which the Lord Chief Justice would not allow, saying, that he considered it a case that the Magistrates could properly decide upon.—The defendant knew well where he might have found the prosecutrix, and it was entirely neglect upon his part. The COURT, after considering the case, said, they could not deviate from the usual courte ; the amount of the recognizance should be paid forthwith. The COURT then ordered all other cases of indict ment and appeals to stand over till the next Old Bailey Fessions, and the Court was, at 12 o'clock, adjourned till the 16th of this month. SUERIFFS COURT, FEBRUARY 5. FRAZIER AND SAMPSON V. GRiZE. This was an action calling upon the Jut y to assess damages upon a writ of inquiry. Mr. WILLs opened the case to the Jury by stating it was one of a rather novel nature; the plaintiffs had ' a lease of a house, N 0.3, New Bond-street, and in 1817, being desirous of letting it, were applied to by the de fendant, who agreed to accept the house, and take the fixtures at a valuation. A proper person was called, who valued the fixtures at 50/. 12s. at which rate the defendant agreed to take them; he had occupied the house ever since, and now came forward to tell the Jury that he was not a competent judge of fixtures, and his father had said the valuation was too high. A witness was bete called, who stated that he had call,:d upon the defendant for the amount ; he admitted it to be a ju,t debt, but that his father si,id the valua tion was too Mr. Thomas Winter stated, he was an optician, and lived in the house: the fixtures, according to the inven tory produced, were left in the house, and taken at a valuation of 301. 12s.—After the valuation, a looking glass was removed, value 26. The SIIEKIFF said, it was now for the defendant to prove their real value, the admission he considered was insufficient.—The defendant had no witnesses, and the Jury assessed the damages at 48/. 12s: deducting fur the glass. twi.ront: V. EVERAGE. In this case the Jury were called upon for an assess ment of the damages, which were laid at 901. The plaintitF, who i, a Uentleman of fortune, bought of the defendant, a livery-stable-keeper and horse-dealer, two bay geldings, conditionally that he warranted them sound, and without vice or blemish. The defendant tbuswarranted them, and on being paid the 90 guineas, he gave the following receipt: •' Received from - " March 5, 1823. BeWore, Esq. ninety guineas, for a pair of bay geldings; and I promise to take them back any time within a month, if they should be diilikva, cr prove to possess a spot, any vice, or blemish, for 85 guineas. _ (Si;p14:1) "J. EVERAGE." After the horses had stood in the stable a night, they were found to be very vicious and unsound, and in nowise answering the warrant; consequently the plain tiff's groom took them back, but could not get the 85 guineas: repeated application had been made for that sum, which had hitherto. proved unavailing. There was a special count on the record that declared for interest, which was also hoped for. The defendant had resold the geldings-for upwards cf 100 guineas, and notwith standing, the 85 guineas could not be recovered of him. The SHERIFF said as. there had been no agreement, he was afraid the Jury could not award interest; admis sion upon the receipt in this case was Su flic lent, but even here it would have been better and mute satisfactory to have had the coachman.—The Jury assessed the da mages at 85 guineas. Tuesday, the dock-yard of Messrs. Wigrams and Green, at Blackwall, was crowded to witness the launch DI a very fine ship for the India trade, of 600 tons bur den. The day was par titularly favourable, and the • scene altogether interesting. The decks of the several ships and steam-veswls in their extensive docks atforded excellent accommodation to the vast asAmblage, and those, as well as the eminences, were literally covered. At halipast three she began to move, and soon majesti cally glided into her native element amidst the cheers a the surrounding st:ectators, having been duly named t! e Lord Amherst. =MI NATIONAL SOCIETY. Wednesday the General Committee of the National Society for the Education of the Poor in the principles of the Established Church, held their Meeting at St. Martin's Vestry-room. Present : The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Gloucester, the Bishop of Exeter, Sir James Longhorn, Bart. t h e Right Hon. Richard Ryder, Archdeacon You, Archdeacon Cambridge, J. Watson, Esq. and other Members of the Committee. Twelve fresh schools were united to the Society ; and several grants of money were made, in sums from 20/. to 1501. each, towards the building and fitting-up of school-rooms. From the late appeal to public bounty, by means of the KING'S letter, the operations of the Society will now be more extensively useful than ever. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, FEB. 5. Mr. POLLOCK rose on behalf of a Gentleman (an At torney of this Cow t), who had been led into an error by a person of the name of Simpson, who was to receive judgment for some malpractices in this Court. On the 24th ult. his (Mr. Pollock's) client, Mr. N. was applied to by Simpson, stating that he was the clerk of Mr. Duncan, the partner of Mr. Henson, of Bouverie-street, and begged that he would attest the schedule of a per son named Benton; he dii so, and made the usual af fidavit ; immediately on his reaching home, Mr. N. wrote to Mr. Duncan, stating what he had done for him, at the solicitation of his clerk, when it appeared that Mr. Simpson was not Mr. Duncan's clerk, nor had he any authority for requesting Mr. N. to attest the schedule. In consequence of this, Mr. Duncan has since discovered that Simpson had several times used his name without any authority; and his (Mr. Pollock's) applicathal to the Court was, that Mr. N.'s character might be cleared from any participation in Simpson's conduct. The COURT, after hearing Mr. N.'s affidavit, considered that no blame whatever was attributable to him. 11'. White, an Attorney of this Court, a few days ago, was struck off the List of Attornies for this Court, for having attested a schedule, and sworn to an affidavit, as having been requested to sign the schedule on behalf of Mr. Duncan, when it appeared that Mr. Duncan did not even know Mr. White. At that examinati•m it ap peared that Mr. Simpson formerly acted as clerk to' Mr. Henson, of Bouverie-street (now a prisons.' in the King's Bench), and since then he had attested several insolvents' schedules in the name of Duncan, and got money as for Mr. Duncan, but was not empowered to do so by that Gentleman; particularly in the case of George Dixon, an insolvent, from whom he had re ceived 51. 19s. costs. _ _ The COURT ordered Mr. Simpson to attend this morn ing, for the purpose of receiving judgment for contempt. CHIEF COMMISSIONER.—Mr. Simpson, what have you to say on your behalf? Mr. Simpson.—l will not occupy the time of the Court in defending my conduct; but I pray them to take into consideration the facts of my being lame, and troubled with a determination of blood to the head; my mother was recently burnt to death, and 1 have also lost my brother. 1 had no intention of an improper nature, and I beg to throw myself on the clemency of this Honourable Court. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER.—In consequence of cir cumstances which had formerly taken place, the Legis lature have thought fit to vest in us the choice of Attei-' vies for this Court, and we take pains to ascertain the respectability of the persons so to be employed, in order that insolvents should receive the greatest possible as. sistance, and that a proper exposition of the insolvents' affairs might take place for the benefit of creditors; and fur the furtherance of this object, we appoint none but certificated Attornies. In the case of George Dixon, it is obvious that you knew the regulations of the Court, by your using the name of an Attorney ; but although you received money as costs, you did not account to that Attosney for what you received, and it appears that that Attorney never employed or authorized you so to act. You have been guilty of a contempt of the Court, and taking into consideration the afflictions under which you have been labouting, the judgment of the Court is, that you be committed to Newgate for the space of one month.—Mr. Simpson was then re moved in custody of a messenger. HACKNEY-COACH QUESTION. A difference of opinion has for some time past existed among the Magistracy respecting the construction of the clause allow ing, under certain circumstances, baciq fare to hackney-coachmen ; and which difference wa the more unfortunate from the fact that the Act had made their decision final, and without appeal. With a view to setting the question at rest, a case was submit ted by the Commissioners of Hackney Coaches to the ATTORNEY and SOLICITOR-GENERAL, to which an an .swer has just been teturned. The 55th Geo. 111. c. 159. s. 5. gives the drivers of hackney-coaches discharged after seven in the evening, between Michaelmas and Lady-day ; and after rune; between Lady-day and Mi chaelmas, at any place beyond the regular continuation of carriage-way pavement, a certain back fate; but doubts have arisen on the clause—it being considered that it gives the option to the persons discharging the coach or chariot, either of paying back fare to the neatest extremity of the continued carriage-way pavement, or to the nearest outstand to the spot where the coach or chariot shall be discharged. The following are the circumstances of a case on which the question has arisen lately at the Hatton-gar den Police-office. A coach was hired on the 16th of November, at the stand in Smithfield, which is on the, stones, and was driven to and discharged at the regular standing for hackney-coaches, in the City-road, Wing- ton, which stand is beyond the continued carriage-way pavement. and the driver demanded and received Is. for distance out and Is. for back fare to the nearest extre mity of carriage-way pavement; and having been sum moned for exacting Is. back fare, being, as urged by the complainant, entitled to no back fare at all, the Ma gistrates entertained doubts as to the proper judgment to be given. To the above case the following verbatim answer has been retut ned : " Although section the fifth of the statute 55th of Geo. 111. cap. 159, is not so distinctly framed as the clause in the prior Act of the 48th of Geo. 111. cap. 87, which relates to this subject, we never theless think the coachman had a right, under the above circum stances,to the Is. back fare to the nearest extremity of continued carriage-way pavement.

The Comet is rapidly disappearing: it has passed the North Star, between the Great and Little Bears, at a point nearly equidistant between the Pole Star and the more distant of the two stars in the Great Bear, called the Pointers. It is no longer discerned by the naked eye. There are certain phenomena in the present Comet which are of rare occurrence in those eccentric bodies.. When first noticed, about a month since, its course ap peared to be northward, with little change in right as ' cension, whence it was expected it would become cir cumpolar, and be visible above the not them horizon. During the last week the Comet has moved in a retro grade direction, describing at the maximum an arc of ten degrees in right ascension in '24 hours, and declining southward. From the increased motion, as viewed from the earth, the Comet must have passed nearer to our planet at this time, although the motion in its orbit had dee' eased ; yet being farther from the sun, it has been less visible. In the present night it will be nearly in opposite right ascension to the sun, and therefore pass the meri dian about midnight ; but the tail in that position being projected in the direction from the earth, will appear as the coma surrounding the nucleus. A series of obser vations having been made at the Royal Observatory, these will afford the means of computing the elements with great accuracy. That indefatigable astronomer, Dr. Brinkley, has al: eady given the result of his observa tions, and deduced approximate elements. The late ob servations will sliew, whether its approach to the earth has changed the tigsre of its orbit, and caused the extra ordinary position in the heavens relatively with our planet. POLICE• INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Conneer or PARISH Orricess.—Three young men, one of them with a wife and family, summoned their parish officers before the Lotto Ma von, for having refused to give them relief. On examina tion their settlements were found clear. One of them had been re fused relief, however, because he was a stranger to the Overseer, and the latter, who was present, knew nothing of his settlement. A second, with a wife and family, was refused relief by the Overseer to whom he applied, who told him he must apply to the Board. Ile did apply to the Board, and they told him he must go about his bu ' siness. The refusal in the third case was similarly wanton. The LORD MAYOR strongly animadverted on this mode of treating the poor, which he had reason to believe was but too prevalent. The parish officers must not be allowed to presume all the poor to he criminals, and treat them as such ; or be sanctioned in their practice of driving them from post to pillar, with the view of getting rid of them, although their settlements were clear and undisputed, and they were willing to work. Numbers of the poor were driven to the 41ternatives of either starving or robbing, and was it surprising that there were in our jails such numbers who, having been at first driven to rob from necessity, contracted a habit, and afterwards robbed from choice? Ills Lordship directed that the complainants should be relieved immediately, and desired that in future relief might be given to applicants in the first instance, and that their claims might be scrutinised afterwards, for the poor were nut to wait until parish officers were satisfied of their validity. Jane Moor, the servant girl charged with robbing the house of her master, Mr. Kirwan, of an immense quantity or plate, was fully committed. BOW-STREET. GAMS—Acornxa AIILGUN, &C.—A man, who gave his name Thomas Payne, was brought in by Davis, one of the day patrol, who had just met him in Oxford-street, carrying a bag, in which were seven pheasants, an air-gun, and a pewter pint pot. The air-gun was very much like that one of which the Public have lately heard so much. The pheasants appeared to have been newly killed, and the pint pot bore the mark of a publican at Edgware. The prisoner in his defence, said one " Squire A rrowsmith" had given hint the pheasants and the air-gun to carry to a Mr. Moore's, in Oxford-street; and he produced a paper purporting to be Squire Arrowsmith's license for killing game. As to the pint pot, that had, some how or other, got into the bag without his knowledge or con sent; and he professed himself utterly at a loss to account for its presence.—The Magistrate ordered him to be detained until he should give a better account of the matter. HATION-GARDEN. John Strait, a painter and, lazier, was brought up by the Parish Officers of St. Andrew's, liol orn, charged with having deserted his wife and three children. . Carr, the Overseer, stated, that three years ago the prisoner absconded without any assignable mo- tive, and his wife was obliged to go to service, and the children became chargeable to the Parish. During this period of his deser tion, he was in good circumstances, and within the last six months, he received a legacy of nearly £3OO, which he has been spending in the most dissolute manner. The prisoner heard the statement, and viewed his children, with the most callous indifference, and re fused to give any remuneration to the Parish. The Magistrate ob served, that if he committed him under the Vagrant Act, at the expiration of three months he would be relieved from all obliga- tions ; whereas, by committing him to the Sessions (should he still refuse to come to terms), the period of his imprisonment might be prolonged.—lle was accordingly committed to the Sessions. J. Nicholls and H. Matthews, apprentices to Mr. Itolph, butcher, in Pray-street, Clerkenwell, whose premises adjoin the burying-, ground, were charged with stealing two dead bodies therefrom. —t The facts were not sufficiently established against the former; but the latter was ordered to find bail. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday the driver of the hackney-coach No. 96 was fined in the penalty of 10s. with costs, for being absent from his coach while in attendance at the King's Theatre for a party, on the night of the 24th ult. In delivering this decision, Mr. WHITE, the pre siding Magistrate, recited a clause of the Hackney coach Act, be fore little known, we believe, to the Public, for the regulation of those vehicles while attending at places of public amusement. This clause directs, that if any hackney-coach or chariot, so attending, whether hired or not, shall be found without the driver, such car riage may be driven away to the nearest green-yard or place of de. posit, and that a fine not exceeding hve pounds shall be imposed on the owner, for defraying which, if not paid, the said carriage and horses shall be made liable. Mr. WHITE fined the defendant in, this case 10s. only, because he was willing at first to try by lenient, means to remove an evil equally great to the parties retaining the, coach and to the Public in general; hut if that was found inade quate, he must have recourse to the full penalty. MA RLUOROUGH-STREffr. 11 to 12 to 17 to 18 to CHARGE or BlGAllT.—Yesterday a young man, of fashionablei appearance, was brought to this office, in the custody of an officer,' charged with having intermarried with a young Lady of respectable connexions, his former wife being still alive. Tire prisoner was represented as the relative of a General, and the case excited considerable interest ; but the young Lady whom he was charged with intermarrying with was not present to give evidence. Iler brother however attended, and being sworn, stated that the prisoner a short time ago formed an acquaintance with his sister, to whom he represented himself as a single man, and ultimately induced her to elope with him ; and she had been missing for a length of time, although every inquiry had been made after her; and it was not until Tuesday she returned and intimated that the prisoner had urged het to marry him, but she had ascertained that he had ano ther wife living. He had ordered his sister to attend, but she had neglected to do so. The prisoner's wife, who was outside the office, was ordered to be brought in. She is a very interesting young woman, and was ex cessively grieved. She stated that her husband had quitted her without any cause, with the whole of her property, and she had heard that he was married a second time. The prisoner denied the charge of bigamy, but confessed having deserted his wife. He was remanded for further evidence. IV. Croons, late in the service of Lord Darnley, was remanded on suspicion of having robbed his Lordship's stables. L A M BETH-ST R EE I'. John Johnson and Sarah Townsend were re-examined, and fully committed for uttering base coin. Henry Casten, an apprentice to a silkweaver, was committed for 14 days to the House of Correction, for wilfully spoiling his work. One of Cardinal MAzArtires favourite measures was procrastination. 44 Time and I against any other two personages," was his reply, when urge) to brisk and violent measures.

Good law [win; allowed, the hare was started. The ground ran over was heavy, and computed to be at least three miles, and during the course, puss and her staunch pursuers might have been frequently cover:d with a sheet. Just, however, as the hare was entering the planta tions of Inigo Thomas, Esq. the greyhounds still laying hard a; her, a fourth dog unfortunately ran in and killed her. So severe was this match, that Mr. Jones 4 bitch fell dead at its conclusion, and it was for some time doubtful whether Mr. Gi.bert's younger ' dog would not have experienced a similar fate. The loss of the bitch will be severely felt in the Eastbourne sporting circle, as sli was considered equal to any greyhound in the kingdom. Mr. June a fortunately possesses two of her puppies. The hare is to be pre :- served and stuffed. COURSING AT MADDON PARK, SURREY. There was a strong muster here on Saturday for the Annu tl Silver Cup and Cover, and other matches.
