LAW REPORT. COURT OF 'CMS'S BENCH, DECEMBER ii. FIELD V. GAMMON. . . This was an action of assault and false imprisonment. Mr. BROUGHAM stated, that the plaintiff, Mr. Field, was the master of a fishing-smack at Rye, called the Diamond, in which, together with his men, he went to seas on the 28th of February last. While they were out, a boat with four Men came alongside of the vessel, and requested a passage to Rye harbour, which was imme diately granted. On the morning of the 29th, another came alongside of them, and four men boarded the vessel, and, after stating that they had informations against her as a smuggling vessel, they directed that 'she should be steered fdr the Cameleon revenue cutter, of which the defendant, a Lieutenant in the Navy, was Commander. The plaintiff was much astonished at these orders, desired the men to examine every part of his vessel, and see whether there was any sort of pre tence for the information which they had received.— They would not be convinced ; they persevered in their orders, which the plaintiff obeyed, ana in a short time he arrived alongside the Cameleon, and was ordered by the defendant, together with all his men, to go on board of her. This they did. The Diamond was im mediately sent to sea, with two of the pleilitiff's men, but he himself, and a man named Boxall, were detained on board the Cameleon, w hich steered for Hastings roads, where it remained that night. The next morn ing the Cameleon put to sea again, and as soon as they came in sight of the smack, the defendant, who had got possession of the plaintiff's papers, gave them up to him again, and told him he might return to his ves sel. These were the circumstances of the case. The "ptoceeding on the part of the defendant was wholly unwarranted, and for his misconduct towards the plain tiff, he now sought redress at the hands of a Jury. • Wm. Boxall, a fisherman in the service of the plain tiff, deposed to the circumstances of the case, as it was 'opened. On his cross-examination, he denied that the Diamond was, on that occasion, out for smuggling purposes; though he admitted that she was since seized .with tubs of French brandy on board of her. Upon a question being put, whether the plaintiff was connected with the Diamond when she was seized ? Mr. BROUGHAM desired the witness not to answer it, and the objection was allowed by the Court. Mr. GURNEY, for the defendant, insisted that the an cumstances under which the Diamond was found by the officers of the cutter, were such as to warrant a very considerable degree of suspicion. They found eight men on board of her, and though apparently a fishing-smack, her nets were found wholly-unemployed. There was little doubt that she was out for smuggling purposes op that occasion, although the fact could not be brought home to her. Subsequently she was found in her true calling, and paid the forfeit of it. He ad mitted the Jury must find for the plaintiff, but he trusted they would feel that the lowest damages would meet the justice of the case, seeing that it would be attended with considerable-expense, and that there were several other actions brought against the same defendant, arising oat of the same circumstance. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 51. SMITH - V. GRANT AND ANOTHER. This was an action to recover damages for an illegal :distress. The plaintiff, a poor woman, who has long kept a green-grocer's shop in Chancery-lane, held her house under a relation named Coombes, at the yearly rent of 401. Some time since she received a noticefrom the defendant, a Mrs. Grant, raising her rent to 651. and finally an execution, took all she had for 81.10 s. the al leged arrears of rent. Mr. GURNEY, for the defendant, undertook to prove that the house was under the authoritf of Mrs. Gr by the assignment and transfer of the lease from Coombe:. The instrument, when produced and read, liable to objection. was . __ _ The LORD CUM! JUSTICE was of opinion that it did pot transfer the lease of the:house, and consequently, %bat the defendant could not support the distress. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 101. . - Monday evening, an Inquest was held at the King's . Bead, Buckingham-gate, on the body of John Tyson, aged St The deceased, while in the act of drawing Ilkos waggon into Messrs. Wake and Daniel's stone-yard, Millbank, struck a large piece of stone with one of the shafts, which fell upon his foot, and produced a lock jaw. Vert!lct.—Accidental Death. • CHRISTMAS OUT OF TOWN. FROM THE NSW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. • INMVIII For many a winter, in Billiter-lane, Bly - -wife, Mrs. Brown, was heard to complain ; At Ch_ristmas, the family met there to dine On Vet and.plumpedding, and turkey and chine. Our bark has now taken a contrary heel, My wife has found out that the sea is genteel, To Brighton we duly go scampering down, For nobody now spends his Christmas in Town! Our register-stoves, and our crimson-hafted doors, Our weatherproof walls, and our carpeted floors, Our casements well fitted to stem the North "'lnd s Our arm-chair and sofa, are all left behind. We lodge on the &eine, in a bow-window d box, That beckons up stairs every Zephyr that knocks; The Sun hides his head, and the elements frown But nobody now spends his Christmas in Town! In Billiter-lane, at this mirth-moving time, The lamplighter brought Us bis annual rhyme ; The tricks of Grimaldi were sure to be seen, We carved a twelfth cake, and-we dreW King and Queen; These pastimes gave oil to Time's round-about wheel, Before we began to be growing genteel : 'Twas all very well for a cockney or clown. But nobody now spends his Christmas in Town ! At Brighton, I'm stock up in Denaldaon's shop, Or walk upon bricks, till I'm ready to drop; Throw stones at an anchor, look out for a skiff, Or view the Chain-pier from the top of the cliff. Till winds from all quarters oblige me to halt, With an eye full of sand, and a mouth full of salt. Yet still I am suffering with folks of renown, Vor nobody now spends his Christmas in Town ! In gallop the winds, at the full of the moon, And puff up my carpet like Sadler's balloon; My drawing-room rug is besprinkled with soot, And there is not a lock in the house that will shut. At Mahomet's steam-bath, I lean on my cane, And murmur in secret—" Alt. !" But would not express what I think for a crown, For nobody now spends his Christmas in Town! The Duke aitd the Earl are no cronies of mine, His Majesty never invites me to dine; The Marquis won't speak when we meet on the Pier, Which makes me suspect that I'm nobody here. If that be the case, why then, welcome again, Twelfth-cake and snap-dragon in Billiter lane. Next winter I'll prove to my dear Mrs. Brown, That trobrds now spends his Christmas in Town ! MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, JAN.II. THE KING U. WINSLOW, GENT. The defendant, • an attorney, was charged with con spiting with another attorney,•named Hillyday, to de fraud Messrs. Kent and Avory, jewellers in Bond-street, of property to the - amount of 2811. The case was partly gone into on Monday, and was resumed yesterday. • The Jury returned a •erdict of Guilty ; and The CHAIRMAN sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprisonment in Newgate. ~•--~- SURREY SESSIONS. Yesterday, the General Quarter Sessions for the county of Surrey, commenced at the Court-house, New- ington. Previous to opening the Court, the Magis trates assembled for the election of a Chairman in the room of the late Thomas Harrison, Esq. when John Scriven, Esq. of Camberwell, was elected. As soon as the election was over, the Chairman, and twenty three Magistrates came into Court, and took their seats on the Beach. The Court was then opened in the usual form. The Riot Act, and his Majesty's Proclamation against Vice, Profaneness, and Immorality were read. The Grand - Jury were then sworn, after which the Chairman addressed them. After the Grand Jury had retired— ------- Mr. TnowEß said, he wished to know whether the prisoners in the several prisons of the county were in structed as he conceived it was the intention of the Legislature they should be? He intimated that if the answer should not be satisfactory, he intended toinake a motion on the subject. After several Gentlemen had delivered their senti ments, a resolution was agreed to— That it be recommended to the •isiting Magistrates of the House of Correction to carry into effect the regulations for instructing the prisoners, and to report the effect of the same. Mr. SUMNER moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Hedger, for the able manner in which he had performed the duty of Chairman since the decease of Mr. Harrison, which was carried unanimously. Mr.DRUMMoND gave notice of a motion next Ses sion, for an application to Parliament for liberty to ap point a Chairman, with a salary not exceeding 8001. a-y ear. Mr.IIABERLY said; he had given notice of a motion for the appointment of a Committee to inquire whether the county jail of Newington might riot be tendered more healthful, by being kept dry by means cf heated air? He was led to give this notice in consequence of a Petition which had been presented to the House of Commons, complaining of the damp state of the cells: He (Mr. Maberly) had examined the cells in which per sons were confined for felonies and misdemeanours, and found the description to be just;—they were on the ground—brick walls, and Boors of stone, and a window without glass. The constant washing of the floors, which was considered necessary, kept them all the win ter in a state of dampness ; and they had no fire. The Honourable Gentleman concluded by moving for the appointment of a Committee. Mr. PALMER and Sir THOMAS TUNTON both rose to second the motion. Mr. SUMNER thought there was no ground' for the motion. If the pre:eut state ('f the prison affected the health of the prisoners, he would agree to it, but it ap peated by the Surgeon's Reports that was not the case. The motion was then put—Ayes 10—Noes 14. 1116 TREAD•MILL. Mr. Bniscoe said he rose to make the motion, or which he had given notice, respecting the unfitness and impropriety of tread-mill labour to the character and constitution of females. In every civilised country, and particularly in count' ies enlightened by Christianity, a milder punishment was• inflicted on female than on male offenders; indeed, the treatment of females fnrmed,l no bad test of a noble or ignoble mind. It was also found, that when females were discharged, after having been degraded by working at the tread-mill, they were generally unable to provide for themselves by any re putable employment, and were in a. manner compelled to the commission of crime as the only means of sup port, and, in consequence, their recommittal became much more frequent than that of men. It also appeared, by the Reports of 24 Houses of Correction in which the tread-mill was used, that women wei e not condemned to it. The Honourable Gentleman concluded by moving that a Committee be appointed to inquire into the propriety of abolishing the tread-mill labour as a punish ment for females. Mr. SUMNSR said, he gave credit to the Hon. Magis trate for goodness of intention, but this was the fourth time he brought forward his motion before the same Court; in one instance it was negatived by forty-nine to one, and in the other instances the result was nearly the same. It was stated that Mrs. Fry's system of pri son discipline had diminished the number cf female prisoners 40 per cent. but the tread-mill had diminished their numbers more than double. He used to see 60, 70, even 90 females at the wheel ; he now never saw more than 20 or 25. Mrs. Fry's systen► had cer tainly done wonders in Newgate, but it was owing to her own superintendence; and in no other hands would equal effects be produced. The Surgeon% Reports sheaved that the tread-mill was not injurious to health ; indeed, a Lady's doctor had told some of his friends, that if they would get up pri vate tread-mills in their houses, they would keep their wives in better health than he could—( A laugh.) Sir THOMAS TURTON considered this question quite different from those formerly•brought• forward by the Hon. Magistrate (Mr. Briscoe); the former motions were for the total abolition of the tread-mill , the present was merely to inquire whether it might not be dis pensed with in the case of females? - That inquiry, he thought, was nut unreasonable, and he would give it his support. The question was then put, when the numbers were—For the motion 4—Against Itl2. The Court adjourned at half-past six o'clock. .ant, assts CUSTOM-House.—The state of the new Custom house becomes more alarming every day; the centre arches have given way, and it is seriously contemplated that the business of the establishment must be removed to the Commercial Rooms, or some other huge range of buildings. The repairs necessary are estimated at £60,000. The ground on which the Custom-house is built is principally composed of sand, into which enor mous piles bad been driven to support the arches, on which the building' rests; but owing to the high tides which have recently taken place, it is supposed that the water has penetrated through The quay, and sunk or carried away the sand, so as to leave some of the piles eabedded. It will probably be necessary to take down As east wing before the foundation can be made secure. POLICE INTELLIGENCE: MANSION-HOUSE. tett te rday, during the transaction of the business of the Justice room, the LOUD MATO% was waited upon by a deputation from the religious body called the Freethinking Christians, at the head of which were Mr. Coates and Mr. Fearon. The deputation handed to his Lotaihip the amount of a subscription raised amongst the members of their sect in London, for the benefit of the Spanish and Italian Refugees. The subscription amounted to 641. 6s. 6d. BOW-STREET. Canas-Srretarro.—The greater part of Mr. Mnistruais time for the last three days has been occupied in the investigation of a charge of child-stealing, of an extraordinary nature. On the Bth of August last a poor woman, of the name of Burke, the wife of a • labouring man, then living in Church-street, St. Giles's, was delivered of a male child, and in seven or eight days after she was on her way with her infant to St. Giles's work house to obtain medical assistance, when she was accosted by a woman of respectable appearance, who asked her several questions about her state of health, the age of her child, &c. and asked her to take some porter, observing that it would refresh her. Mrs. Burke accompanied the stranger to a public-house, where they had some porter, and the latter having ascertained her residence, gave her sixpence ; said she knew a Lady who belonged to a charitable insti tution for relieving persons in her condition, and she would speak' to that Lady in her behalf, and call again on a future day. She kept her appointment, and it was agreed by them to go to the Lady on the following Friday, the twentieth day of August. The stranger treated her with the greatest kindness, and staid upon that occasion and ironed a cap for Dirs. Burke and the child, and also, brought some flannel and other things for the use of the infant. She was on that occasion about an hour and a half in the room. On the 20th, the stranger came, and after remaining some time there, she and Mrs. Burke, with the infant, started to go to" the Lady's." When they arrived in Gate-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, the stranger said she thought Mrs. Burke must need rest and refreshment, and proposed going into the Sun public-house, which they did. The stranger c..lled for a pint of porter, and then proposed to have some thing to eat ; gave Mrs. Burke some money to go out and purchase bread sod cheese and onions, directing her which way to go and find a shop. Mrs. Burke left the child in the arm' of the stranger, and when she returned, in a few minutes, with the provisions, both were gone. The pour mother, thus strangely bereft of her only child, became almost frantic, and ran-to this Office and related the occurrence to the Magistrate then sitting, who humanely ordered hand-bills to be widely circulated, at the expeme of the.establish ment. and an officer to make all poasible search for the delinquent and the child. All was unavailing, however, and no trace was ob tained of either, until (we understood) the 21st of Deeember, when Bits. Burke, who sells stay laces and other things in the streets, was stantlieg in Newgate Market, and saw the person now accused, whom she immediately fixed upon as the person who stole her child. Mrs. Burke continued to follow her until she went into a shop, when she also entered, and directly accused her of stealing her child. A crowd having collected, several persons took part with the accused, and wert so far as to give Mrs. Burke in charge to an officer, and she was conveyed to the Compter for the night, and before the Sitting Alderman, at Guildhall, the following morn ing. The Alderman, after hearing the charge of the accused, and the answer of Mrs. Burke (who was then of course the defendant), discharged the case altogether. Subsequently, namely, on Fa iday last, Mrs. Burke and her husband came to this Office, and upon the information, on oath, of the former, a warrant was issued by Mr. Alisssitax, against the accused, for felony in stealing the child. On Saturday she was brought here, attended by several of her friends. Her name is Marta Ectgington, and she has been many years in the situation ;of housekeeper to a highly respectable person of the name of Evaes,who is a'surgeon's instrument-maker in Old 'Change. After a lengthened examination, the defendant was admitted to bail till the evening, wham the case was again gone into, and depo sitions of witnesses were taken. Mr. Itliasisto.t. afterwards or dered her to be brought up for re-examination en Monday night, when two women,nanied BarrX and Delaney, the former the land lady, and the latter a lodger in the house in Church-street, where Mrs. Burke lodged at the time of the transaction in question, swore that, to the best of their knowledge. they believed the pri soner to be the person whom they saw in Mrs. Burke's room, once when she ironed the caps, and again on Friday, when the child was stolen. Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Magistrate in behalf of his client with muck earnestness. lie was not usm il:ing that the case should go to a Jury, but he urged the propriety of the prisoner being ad mitted to bail. Her health and that of her son, who was a delicate child, might be endangered by her being committed to Newgate. Four respectable persons then coffered to give bail..to the amount of £5,500, but Mr. alit:sum. rejected this proposition. Yesterday morning (the prisoner having been placed in the watch house for the night) the parties again attended, when offers were, made to give responsible bail to the amount of twenty thousand pounds, if that would obtain her liberation until trial. This, how ever, Mr. Mitisitur.e refused, and she was fully committed, but with liberty to remain at a watch-house until trial. It seems that the waiter who complained to Sir RICIIAItra Maxie on Monday, respecting the want of generosity in a Gentleman whose lost pocket-book he had restored, gave a very incorrect state ment of the affair. The Gentleman alluded to, Mr. G. F. Bonham, waited upon Sir R. Brant: yesterday, to complain of the statement he had seen in some of the 14.pers, and to give a flat contradiction to the greater part of it. The pocket-book, instead of containing 37W. as the waiter alleged, contained nothing except a few receipts and private memorandums; and Instead of his having picked it up in the street, be had taken it from a table in the tavern called 'John O'Groat's House, in Rupert-street, in which house he was an occa sional waiter on this day on which Mr. B. accidentally left it there. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday, a man named Cooke, was charged with entering the kitchen of the house of Mr. Phillips, the barrister, iu Gore-street, Bedford-square, on Monday night, and stealing a silver spoon. The prisoner was believed-to be concerned with two other robbers, one of whom was taken, but afterwards effected his escape. He entered the house by passing down the area steps; The accused was committed. A dashing young Lady, who called herself Miss Brown, who, it appears, attended at the Masquerade at the Argyle Bikinis otf Mon day night, in character,was charged with refusing to pay the driver of the coach 1751, the sum of 3s. 6d. which be claimed as his fare, 1 1 for driving her from the Hog in the Pound, Oxford-street, to her lodgings. It appeared that a gallant Colonel induced her to leave the Masquerade, and to accompany:him; hi made her excessively drunk, and having placed her in a coach and ordered her to be driven home, he left her without paying her fare, &c.—She was ordered to be detained till the money was paid. • THE NEW LoNnotrilarocrs.—ln consequence of the number of men necessarily employed in driving the piles of the above bridge, the contractors, a few days since, resolved, in or der to reduce the expenses of the undertaking, to erect a machine similar to the cele brated tread-mill, and by which two men are enabled to raise a massive piece of iron, called a monkey, weighing no less than l Scwt. and-which is afterwards /et fall upon the piles, in order to chive them into the bed of the river. By this contrivance a very great saving of labour is effected, two men being enabled to do the work of four. It has, however, completely disappointed the expectations of the -projectors of it, the legs of the workmen being severely injured by the re-action of the wheel of the mill, when the monkey is detached from the-pulley. Yesterday morning several cf the men were so severely injured by the wheel I striking against their legs, as to be unable to continue their work, and were ultimately conveyed to the Hes pital : in consequence of which the Directors have re solved to discontinue the use of the machine altoge ther. Among the sand dug up from the bed of the river, a great numberof very ancient silver and copper coins have been found. The Gentleman who was unfortunately drowned on Saturday evening last, at Gravesend, was Mr. W. Bra mud, second officer of the Honottrable Company's ship Hythe, and not Mr. JOSEING, third officer, as stated by mistake in our Paper of yesterday. Mr. MsNera was sworn in second of that ship yesterday. Mr. FREEMAN, who was robbed and cruelly used on Friday evening, at Old Brentford, was still alive yes. terday, but in so precarious a state, that strong fears were entertained for his safety. He was too weak to be able to give any further particulars of the transaction. The Police are making every inquiry in their power. THE LA72 MUREiRR Ar WHADDO. FURTHER PARTICULARS. 'The mother of Lynn left town yesterday mottling f d i Aylesbury, as may be easily supposed, in a state of the greatest distress. Her son, hitherto, has been highly respected by all who knew him, and has been remark able for his affectionate attachment to his mother and sister, which circumstance add, much to the misery in which they are now involved. He seldom spent his evening from home, and it was his general practice td come home and sit with them as soon as he left wo r k. On Sunday his mother and sister saw a paragraph in a weekly paper respecting the murder, hut at that time they had not the slightest idea that it related to the person of their unfortunate relative. I-laying prey': ously inquired at the Saracen's Head, Snow•hill. h€: ther or not two persons, answering the description of' Lynn and the deceased, had gone from there to Liver: pool Land from the answer they received, they felt a: tisfied - that they had. In the afternoon of Smithy, however, a relation called, who had alto seen the paragraph alluded to, and expressed her fears tria!, as 'they had heard nothing of them, and were ukcertain whether they were gone or not, it might allude tO them ; this caused them to make another inquiry, and " the result was equally satisfactory with the former ; it was therefore not until yesterday morning they received the melancholy tidings. Of Mangan, no. further in formation had been received. Search is made in every direction where the least clue has been given, or where it is probable he may have been ; he is very well known in the neighbourhood of Vauxhall, and in his situation of postman to Sir ROBERT BURNSTT and Co. has often been entrusted with the letters, of other persons near the spot to convey them to the Post office. Saturday the business of the Northern Banking Coma pany commenced ; their capital £.500,000 sterling. The constitution of the establishment, oar readeis already know, is founded on similar principles to the Scotch banks, which have long been so stable and useful in that country, and we doubt not that this, and other Jrint Stock Companies, will prove equally beneficial to Ire land.—Belfast Chronicle. FATAL AcclDiNT.—.-Monday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, the greatest confusion prevailed, in consequence of the inhabitants in the immediate neighbourhood of Mr. MAJOR ROHDE . S sugar-house in Ilooper's-square, Rosemary-lane, Whitechapel, expe riencing a most-severe shock, as if caused by an earth quake or volcano. It was soon found that the shock was caused by the explosion of a quantity of hydrogen gas or foul air, that. was confined in one of the steam boilers on Mr. ROHDE'S premises, in consequence of the application of a lighted candle, and that an unfortu nate man, named William Madon, had been brown almost to atoms. Information of the unfortunate cir cum:itance was instantly sent to Mr. UNIVIN, the Co roner, and an Inquest was held the same evening, on the body, at the White-11,w, Hooper's-square: From an examination of several witnesses, the Coroner and Jury were of ()Onion ' that no blame attached to any one, and that the unfortunate occurrence Was entirely the effect of accident—Verdict accordingly. Monday, Thomas Booth was brought up to Guild hall, on a charge of having robbed Mr. Butler, chat. gist, Cheapside, of a quantity of opium, of the value of O. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Butler, that the prisoner was a porter in his employ; that har ing had private inforthation that the prisoner, had been robbing him to a considerable extent, one of his as sistants, on Saturday last, by his direction, weighed a chest of opium, which was left in the warehouse pre vious to the prisoner's going in to fasten the shuuers, which it was his business to do; as soon as the prisoner had done this, and gone into the shop for his wages, the opium was again weighed, and there appeared a defi ciency of four pounds and three quarters. Forrester, the Officer, who was in waiting for the purpose, imme diately apprehended the prisoner in the shop, and the exact quantity of opium which was missing. was fund upon him. Upon watching his lodgings, a number of other articles were found, which apparently belonged to Mr. Butler. Mr. Butler having identified the opium as of the same description as .that in the chest, applied to the Alderman to remand thq prisoner. - BIRTHS. • Yesterday, the Lady of Andrew Spot%lawoode, Esq. of Bedford square, of a son.
