~...,. LAW INTtLLIGENCE. rw , FwTl IRICSTR COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Julius 4. Sittings before Lord TRITSRMIN and Common Juries. • HARRIS V. SPoTTISWOODE AND ANOTHER. Mr. CAMPBELL stated that this was an action against the defendants, Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, to recover d amages, on account of their allowing the escape of a person of the name of Neale, who had been arrested at the suit of the plaintiff for a debt of 501. It appeared that an officer of the name of Gray, who had been entrusted with the execution of tie writ, had suffered Neale to escape, and had eadeavoured to put off' , the plaintiff's attorney with a bail bond,which the officer's man, a person of the name of Ward, admitted to be no thing at all, as the bail were" men of straw; men under the gateway, men of possession," &c. Tne plaintiff then abandoned the action against Neale, and proceeded against the Sheriff. Nlr. HoeT, for the defendants, admitted that the plaintiff must have a verdict; but the Jury ought to give only nominal damages, as the plaintiff still had the power of proceeding against Neale. It was very hard to make the Shei.iffs pay for the misconduct of the officer. Lord . I . ETERDEN—No blame attached to the Shetiff, in this instance, but they were sesconsible for the con duct of their officer, and had their remedy over against him and his sureties. Tire officer had grossly miscon discted himself, and it was but justice that he should pay ; or if he could not pay, it was but justice that the sureties who had become responsible for his good con duct should pay. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, Fifty Pounds. REX V. HOWES. Mr. CAMPBELL, for the prosecution, stated that this was an indictment against the defendant for wilful and corrupt perkrg. The defendant, in 1824, was a pri soner in the King's Bench, at the suit of a Mr. Doughty, lot 591. In Easter Term of that year he petitioned the Judges of that Court in terms of the Acts of Parlia-' went in that behalf made and provided, to be dis-1 charged out of custody, on giving up to his creditors, all his property, real and personal. He put in a sche-' dule in the usual manner, to the accuracy of which he swore, as containing an account of the whole of his property, real and personal, and he was discharged by Mr. Justice Holroyd. Some time after this it was dig covered that the defendant was, at the time the sche dule was put in, possessed of several beneficial leases of premises in Watling-street, none of which were men tioned in the schedule, and on this ground the, perjury was assigned. The proceedings relative to the discharge were proved in the usual manner, and then the witnesses to the leases were called, but did not appear, and the case broke down at the outset.—Verdict, Not Guilty. POWELL V. WILBERFORCE. Mr. DENUAN, for the plaintiff. This was an action totecover a sum of 441.1fr0m the defendant, who was a son of the. late distinguished Member for Yorkshire, who was well known and highly respected. The plain tiff kept some cows in the vicinity of Primrose-hill, and the defendant, who had engaged in the concerns of a Dairy Company, occupied the farm of St. John's Wood, which was managed for him by Major Close. The plaintiff sold to the defendant's agent a field of mangel wurzel, well known as excellent food for cows, for the sum of 44l which the defendant refused to pay. What defence was to be set up he did not know ; but he un derstood that the demand was to be met by a set-:off, and also by an allegation that the field was not so ex tensive as it was thought to be at the time of the bar gain, but still, when there was clearly a bargain, the defendant was bound to pay. Some witnesses were then called, who proved the bargain. Mr. GURNEY (with whom was Mr. LAw) stated for the defendant, that the plaintiff was indebted to the defendant in a sum of 841. for milk, and that when called upon for payment, he often solicited Major Close to purchase this field of mange! wurzel, in part liquida tion of 'the debt. Major Close at length agreed, and they went to the field, and the Major asked what was the extent of it? The plaintiff said it was an acre and three quarters ; Major Close said he could h a rd l y thin k it was so much ;. upon which the plaintiff solemnly awirred that it had been measured, and contained fully atracre and three quarters, arid that if it were measured again it would be,found to contain more. It was solely ors Ile ground of this representation that the price de manded was given. But when the field was measured, it was found to consist of no more than an acre and a titrarter, and thebargain therefore was at an end ; but the defendant offered to pay at a valuation for the quan tity of mangel wurzel which he had got, the value of which did not amount to more than 271. or 281. at the utmost, and this was more than coveted by the set-off. Major Close, and other witnesses, fully made out this defence. -Lord TENTEattax=Well, Mr. Common Sergeant, what have you to say? Mr. DerimAx—l don't know what the Jury may think 'of it, bin my case is not vet y encouraging. I..hd TENTERBEN—NO ; it is not. Mr. Detrtank—lt was certainly very foolish in this man to bring this action, it he knew that such a defence could be made out. Verdict for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jima 4. COLLINS V. ICLINILiNBENC:. • Mr. Sergeant Wave stated the plaintiff's case.— He was a spermaceti refiner, carrying on his trade, on) the premises lately used as a private Theatre, In Der wick-stt eet. Being desirous of retiring from busi ness, the defendant entered into a negotiation with him for the purchase of the whole plant, for 3,0001. The defendant did not object to the terms ; but as every manufacturer in this trade has peculiar me thods of his own, the defendant wished to learn how the business was conducted by the plaintiff previous to the completion of the contract. Plaintiff consented to this proposal, and let the defendant have the ute of the premises and utensils, and also instructed him in the mode of conducting the processes ; but, after making use of the place and apparatus for nine weeks, the de. fendant declined the purchase, without finding any fault with the bargain,, but on the pretence that, being a German, the climate of England did not agree with hi. health. The plaintiff then brought ~ thfs: action .to re cciver.the sum of 101. a week for the rear and tear of the presses, and the instruction .given to the defendant in the art of using them. The defendant had paid 1 . 51. into Court, and thereby acknowledged that something was due. Mr. Eusebius, a wax and tallow chandler, proved , most of the facts stated by the Learned Sergeant. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, it looked as if ihel defendant only came to the place to learn the mode of conducting the business, without ever intending to pur chase it, which was a most dishonest trick; and as he had boasted of his having travelled far enough to know bow to snake a bargain, he would recommend, him a little honesty as a very essential ingredient ink for the forties: , • . teidicacir die plaiatiff—Damigei 751. • - PRIPP' ‘ . . . - . i ' 1 1 . , • . i . . i 1I • . , . , 1 I r : P i 1 ii : ) : .

James Mason, a medical student of respectable ap- 1 pearance and connexions, was opposed on his applica tion to be discharged by Mess's. AuoLanns and COORS, on behalf of Alexander Baynes, Esq. of Edinburgh, who had obtained a verdict against the insolvent for criminal conversation with his wife. Mr. Vickery, the plaintiff's a ttorney, produced the proceedings in the action, 18 Baynes v. Mason," and stated that the action was tried at Edinburgh. in April, 1824, and a verdict found for the plaintiff—damages 1001. the costs of which had been subsequently taxed at 1301. After which, the insolvent made repeated offers to the plaintiff', which were ultimately rejected for want of sufficient security. • Mr. Anomious addressed the Court in aggravation . He said it was not for him or his Learned Friends to discuss the amount of damages. The Jury had assessed them according to the circumstances of the insolvent, alit), ugh they were laid at 5,000/. and no doubt the in• jury the plaintiff had sustained would not have been sufficiently remunerated if they had found to that amount. The defendant, who now stood before the Court, had, in this melancholy affair, conducted him. self in a way unbecoming his situation • he,harl been • engaged by the plaintiff' to • attend his wife on a. bed of sickness at Edinburgh; and it was.from that time that the adulterous intercourse had-commenced, to the in. jury of the plaintiff, and for Which tl:e C•itirt would now award a sentence. on the insolvent as the thought proper, bearing in mind the aggravation to his conduct. Mr. Comte followed on the same side. Mr. POLLOCK (with whom was Mr. HEATH) was heard in reply. It was not his intention to justify the conduct of the insolvent, but to regret his conduct in this unfortunate affair. It was the trans,zressions of a young man whose hopes and occupation had been blasted by the present action, and for which he could only ex press his sincere regiet. It had been proved that re peated terms of compromise had been offered to the plaintiff, who had mimed them, and compelled his client to apply to the Court for relief. The Learned Counsel, after remarking on the proceedings of the action, concluded by praying a judgment.to the satis faction of both parties. • The CHIEF COMMISSIONER pronounced the judgment of the Court. He observed, that inasmuch as the insol- vent was indebted to his detaining creditor for the da- 1 mages.in the action brought against him, he was of course subject to a remand as the justice of the case' required. The Learned Commissidner; after animad verting on the conduct of the insolvent, ordered.him to be remanded for six calendar' months at the suit of his opposing and detaining creditor, for the damages as sessed against him in the-action. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. • • • MANSION—HOUSE Yesterday Thomas Wakefield, the younger, was put to the bar, on the charge that he had been found, between the hours of ten and eleven on Tuesday evening, behind the attic door of his neighbour John Messiah, pgainst the peace of the King, &c. Mr. Messiah, who is one of " our peoples" residing in Dyke's place, stated that the prisoner was the son of a publican residing , near him, and some months ago be had called and made proposals to him to address one of his daughters as a matrimonial suitor, but .that he (the complainant) not entertaining a good opinion of the prisoner, had at once declined the honour of his alliance. Since that period, he had been in the constaut habit of besieging the com plainant's house, and annoying both himself and his family. On the preceding night be found the prisoner congealed at the top of his house, and on ordering bins out, he (the complainant) was grouly insulted by him. On being sent away, the prisoner re. turned again between twelve and one o'clock, and disturbed the complainant and the neighbourhood by violently ringing his bell, and he therefore begged the Magistrate to grant him protection by binding over the prisoner to keep the peace towards the complain , ant and his family. Mr. Hobler strongly reprobated the conduct of Wakefield, for prowling about in another man's house, and said, that if he were annoyed by such a visitor, he would make him decamp out of the first-floor window. He added, that as a Jew, Mr. Messiah would probably object to marry his daughter to a Mali of a different creed, although the suitor were the first Nohlenian in the land. The prisoner observed, that the complainant's daughter was not, a Jewess. but a Christian, as het mother had been; and that he had obtained the consent of her mother's sister, which, with the consent of the Lady herself, was all be conceived necessary. The complainant exclaimed with vehemence, that he Would ra ther see his daughter hanged than married to such a man. Sir CLAUDIUS SuntaN Hurrah who sat tor the Lord Mayor, ordered the prisoner to be discharged, on finding bail to keep the peace, and be of good behaviour. BOW-STRF.ET. Yesterday a young lad was charged by his master (Mr. Robert Day), ,a manufacturing jeweller, with robbing him of a piece of gold value 12s. It appeared that on Friday last, after returning from the Old Bailey, where he bad two other apprentices convicted of a similar offence, Mr. Day was informed by lons of his young men, that the prisoner had been detected in offering for sale some gold cuttings at the shop of a refiner, who lives in Broad -street, St. Giles's. The young man, it appeared, had slime suspicions that the prisoner, on leaving the workshop for the night, had purloined some gold cuttings. He therefore followed, and dogged him to the shop of Mr. Rouen, where he had him taken into custody. On being. searched by the constable, 1 pieces of gold were found in his pockets, and Mr. Rouen stated that he had offered one of the pieces to him for fifteen-pence, but that he. had refused to purchase it.— The prisoner was fully committed. Nicholls, a coal-heaver, was brought up upon a warrant, charged with having grievously beaten his wile Susannah, a very decent looking young woman, who swore that her spires, was in the constant habit of beating her. On the previous night he struck her in the face without any provocation, and such was his general violence, that she felt it expedient to have him called to task for his conduct before a Magistrate. " Oh now, Sue," exclaimed the defendant," Oh now, Sue, tell the truth. Lord bless your Worship, I loves that ere girl toe well to hurt a hair of her head, except for kindness; she knows I do— now don't you, Sue ?" " No, indeed, I do net," retorted Sue; " your Worship, he's always a failing' out with me, as be says, for the sole pleasure of making it up again." " Well," said Bill, " and does it'not show as how I loves you ?" —" Yes, it is pretty love indeed," said Sue, " to be always abusing me in this sort of way. I am come of respectable parents, your Worship, although I have married a coal porter; and I have made that man a good wife since ever we have been married."—" Of respectable parents, " exclaimed the defendant in a fury, holding up his dirty jacket, " Why as for the matter of that, .Sue, you might not have mentioned it. Your father, you know, was one of the same cloth. Why, your Worship, her father was nothing more than a snob—(A laugh). Mr. HALLS—WeII, never mind ; but tell me what you have to say for using your wife in the manner you have done?—" Why then, your Worship," said the detendant, " We had peas and bacon for supper"—( A laugh). • Mr. Hat.t.s—Oh never mind your supper, but come to the assault. " Well, but your Worship. said Bill, I can't get through without my supper. We vere eating our peas and bacon for supper last night, when a very silly dispute arose about my poor sister, who is gone dead. Sue first gave me a dab in the chops, and I then gave her one in return, arkd that is all.", A witness was ailed on behalf of the wife, whose evidence established her case, and Bill was ordered to find bail. " Come forward Ned and Jack, and bail me." said Bill to two of his brethren, who appeared in the Office. Ned and Jack came forward accordingly; and stated they would become answerable for Bill in any sum his Worship might name. As however they were top•beavy, and reeled in his Worship's presence very much, they were rejected, and Bill was locked up.

Brooks, the informer's witness, came forward to prove that the offences took place in February; the Informations represented them to be in May, a fatal disagreement, and Lord AIONTFORD dismissed them all. Atkinson, another informer, charged a seller of intermediate beer, in Little Ogle-street, with suffering it to be drank and consumed on his premises. without being licensed according to law, and he was convicted in the lowest penalty, £lO. The defendant gave notice of appeal and security. WOR9IIIP--STREET. Yesterday a further examination of the persons named Flowers, charged with cruelty to rwo children intrusted to their tare some years since, was resumed. A long inquiry respecting the identity of a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old, suppost:d to be the lost child, was gone into. The girl admitted that she had run away from the defendants w!len she was twelve years of age, in company with another girl. and at ber persuasion. There was, however, a discrepancy in her statement, and the Magistrate postponed the further hearing. QUEEN-SQUARB. Yesterday Mr. Humphries, a master builder, in the Vauxhall road, was charged with knocking down a watetniait, named John •Jackson.. Mr. Humphries said. that he always made it a rule wheel he crossed the water, to give the waterman fid, although the fare was but one penny. lie offered the watetnian that sum, but he. demanded 164. which he certainly refused to pay him. The waters man then seized hint by the collar, and 'were he should not go. until lie.paid him, and he cersainly struck hint in the face. Several witnesses confirmed Mr. iluniphiies' sta , enteot, who declared, that if they bad been seized upon in the same manner by Jackson, tbef would have knocked him down. Air. I,aittu , .rir immediately dis missed the warrant. William Creed, Proprietor of a Blackheath coach, and several, others, were fined in mitigated penalties, un tt &Mg informations laid against them by Byers the informer.

Yesterday a seafaring man, named Howell, was brought up on a warrant for assaulting a man named West, under the following circumstances — The. complainant, who is a fishmonger, stated that on the. pre. ceding day, while engaged in his business, the defendant entered his shop, and after bestowing sundry abusive epizbets on him, struck him with great violence about the head and face. There were several persons in the shop, he added. who witnessed the assault. Mr. CMAX2IIIIS.—Did you give him no provocation? Complainant.--Not that 1 am aware, Sir. The Defentlant-,—l admit having struck him, but then he did that...which was as bad as stabbing me to the heart—he deprived me of my wife. Mr. Citaataxas.—How did he deprive you of your wife? Defendant—While I was on the American station, he took ad vantage of my absence, and seduced my wife. The complainant here exclaimed, I did not seduce her—she seduced me, and I consider that I am not to blame." The defendant could not help expressing his indignation on hear ' ing the avowal, and replied to it by exclaiming in seaman's phrase, " You lie, you hulking son of a sea-cook—she did not seduce you, for I have heard the whole yarn; and know that as soon as I got under weigh' you watched her by day and by night, and was always on the look-out after her, until the poor d-1 struck to rim at last, and now you are coward enough to turn a broadside on her, after all her favours to you." The defendant then proceeded to detail, that on joining his ship he left his wife 21. 10s. a month to support her while he was away. On his return from sea on Monday last, he proceeded to his old-quarters, in the hope of seeing his wife ; but on his arrival there he might as well have been shot, he said, on hearing from the neighbours that she had abandoned the place for two months, and was then living with another man, whom lie (defendant) afterwards discovered to be the fishmonger. On this in- telligence he went there, and seeing his wife in the parlourolesired that she would leave the place. and accompany him, her lawful wedded husband, home. The fishmonger opposed his wishes; " and I admit," said the defendant, " I gave him a sound drubbing before I left the shop ; for what right had he, I appeal to your ' Worship, to refuse giving up my wife, when I was willing to take her back, even after what had happened?" The complainant was asketl.whether the defendant's wife was still under his roof ? He replied in the affirmative, saying that she was not disposed to go back to her husband. Mr. Cumesees—You have injured the poor fellow, and yet have richly deserved the licking he gave you. . I shall discharge this war rant ; aed if you interfere in preventing the man and his wife from coming again together—that is, if it is his wish—you will again sub ject yourself tosimilai treatment; ash I promise you, you will have no tedreis here. The sailor, after having declared his determination of getting his wife back from the fishmonger, then left the Office tot that purpose. OLD BAILEY, JUNE 4. OLD COURT. Before )Ir. Justice ARA'. John Donohaugh, aged 17, was indicted for assault. 'ing Patrick Holland, and stealing from his person a coat, waistcoat, and other articles, his property.

They then dragged him into a skittle ground, threw him down, and pulled off his shoes. He called to the landlord for assistance, when the thieves said it was only 44 a lark." The landlord told him he must get out of it as well as he could. The thieves eventually stripped him of everything but his trowsers. He had at the time 11s. in money which they took from him. The piosecutor's testimony was confirmed by other witnesses, and they identified the prisoner. The Jury found him Guilty. • The RECORDER immediately sentenced him to be transported for life. Before the Recoarota. James Anderson, Mary Young, and George Morris, were capitally indicted for assaulting Thomas Johnson, and robbing him of a sovereign and other property. The prosecutor, a young man, was induced to accom pany a woman of the town to a house in Old Pye-street, Westminster, and after remaining some time with him she lett him in the room. Shortly afterwards the pri soners entered the room, and beat the prosecutor till he was in a•senseless condition, and turned him into the street half naked, and his pockets were rifled of a so vereign, nine shillings, and a handkerchief. The pro. secntor said he was a single man, and he was quire sober when he entered the house. He had. received the sovereign the same night from a Mr. Howell. • Several witnesses, who discovered the prosecutor sense'ess in Pye-street, were examined, who stated, that Anderson and-Young were found in bed with another woman in a room two doers from the house where the prose moe had been robbed, and Morris, when ap . pre:. hen. - ed, said, that the woman that accompanied the pro. 'secotor to the house was his wife. The prosecutor swore most positively to the prisoners, and he identified . * handkerchief which was found in the prisoners* bed.—The witnesses all stated that the pro secutor. was perfectly sober. Anderson, in his defence, said, that on his return home that night he found a man in.his room; he knocked at the dOor, and not being able to get admission he broke the door open. The man !muck him over the head whit a stick, and kicked him, and attempted to Allow blip down stairs. Morris, in 'his defence, said, that when he came home Anderson told hint what 'the prosecutor had done to him, and he (Morris) assisted Anderson. to expel the. prosecutor. Morris said that he should call the woman who had lived with him to corroborate his statement.. :. A iroman'Whe called herself Mrs; Morris bdtered the Witness's boa. She said that on the night in questiOn the pineeintor met her in the street, and .she - toolrlins to ;be - haul where she cohibited With Wait) end where or — Trl 4 the other prisorer lived" The prosecutor was with her a short time, and afteewarcli wished to temain with her all night/he would not go out; be w.as -drunk, 4mt „ lie leis him; she was sate he was drunk, aed would peti te in saying so if fifty witnesses had sworn he was sober ; the handkerchief which the pr , secutor had sworn to.she knew to be the property of Mary Young, having et it in her possession before that night. The RECORDER repeatedly cautioned the witness, while e e was giving her evidence ;bin she persisted in swearing in contradiction to the witnesses fur the pro. secution. The prosecutor was re-called, and he again swot* td the identity of the handkerchief, and pointed out a part which was unhernmed, and had been mended. The RECORDER summed up the evidence, and the Jury, without hesitation, found the prisoners us i il li ._ l Death. _ _ _ The RECORDER told them to prepare for that death which so soon awaited them (Andes son burst into tears; and Morris declare., that he was innocent); he could not bald out any hope that the , r lives would be spared; The Recorder ordered the witness Mary M, lf i s to be brought before him ; and the Short-hand Writer having read his notes of her evidence, his Lord s hi p committed her to Newgate for wilful dud corrupt per. jtiry.
