;E prrELLrGEN6t . XINGSTON, Apas L ' • • J o h n Cern*ll Lunn was indtted for tigatby, in having intermarried with Sarah Davis dining the life time of his' former wife, Mary West. Mr. West proved the marriage of the prisoner to his sister, on the Stb of October, 1820. and his desertion of her a few months afterwards. His sister died in 1823. Mr. Bell, Sexton of St. George's in the Borough, proved the matriage of the prisoner on the 9th of June, 182.11 by. the name of John Campbell Brown Davis, to Sarah Davis; witness's wife officiated as bride's maid. They brought no friend with them. The witness thought this fact sO suspicious, looking to the apparently re• spectable appearance of the parties, that he took parti cular notice of the prisoner, and could now swear posi tively to his identity. He could not swear to the Lady, she having been veiled. Mr. Offar derma that, in September, 1821, he met a Lady on bored an Ostend packet, who desciihed her self as Lady Davis , and said she was going to Paris to meet her husband. Sir John Davis, who was a Knight and Baronet. Witness was introduced to the prisoner, who passed as Sir John Davis, a few days subsequently ; they were living in style, acid kept their carriage; he bad been on visiting terms with them ever since. • • Mr. Shaw proved the signature " Sarah Davis," to the second register, to be the hand-Writing of a Lady be had formerly known as " Mrs. &rah Dote The prisoner put in a long writtendefence s .ol which the following is the substance t—be had for thirty years held a Commission in the Amy. with honour to him artlf and advantage to the counts y. Under such eircans *once:, it was painful to him to appear before them on a charge of felony. He attributed his present disgrace. ful situation to a fatal passion for gaming. After losing large sums at different houses in London, he was in duced to miirtgage his estates, the proceeds from which he .soon lust. He was at last driven to the sale of his Com mission, and, in the vain hope of retrieving himself, bad ventured its proceeds at the gaming table, where it soon disappeared.. Driven to despair by the sense of ' his folly, and the abject poverty into which it had .plunged him, he determined on turning upon his plun deiers, and accordingly commenced actions against Crockford, Rogier, Laporte, and others. Some of these actions were still pending ; it was to get rid of them that the present proceedings were adoptcd. Crockford, whose splendid edifice mucked the laws of the land, had an interest in his conviction,. as he {the prisoner) had an -action pending against him in the Ding's Bench. It was his belief Crockford had contributed towards the espenres of this prosecution. He denied that he had been guilty of the crime imputed, and, in proof of his innocence, he would produce, as a witness, the Lady with whom he was said to have contracted the second marriage, and who would prove be was not the person she married. Mix. Sarah Davis was then called—She admitted hung a patty to the marriage deposed to by Mr. Bell, but denied that the.ptirPner was the other party. The person she married passed himself upon her as a Baronet, and took her to France, where in less than a month, he stripped her of a large fortune, and then ab scnnded. A• few.days afterwards she became acquainted with the prisoner, and it was agreed between them that they should pass by the name and title of her quondam husband, hut that they should sleep separately. it was • n Platonic marriage, and it was while they weteliving in this state she introduced the prisoner to Mr. Offer as Sir John Davis: It was not till two years afterwards - that they slept together. Cross-ezamined—Her maiden name was .Dors, to which the name of Davis was added to please her aunt: Her first husband was a Mr: Henry Davis. She al ter .l- wards married the person calling himself Sir John I . l ' Davis. She was first married when fifteen years old, >4. but had previously had a child, to whom a fortune was •••lilt. From a compat4on of dates it appeared. alter a Meg examination, that this child must have been born when she was only twelve years old, according to her account. In reply to this statement, several witnesses were called 40 prove facts calculated to raise a suspicion of its accuracy: The Jury, after an hour's•deliberation. returned a verslict of Guilty. Sentence—One year's' imprisonment. WARWICK, Assn. 4. G. Nigkande was in.licted fur having assaulted R. Cri,uch, and taking tram his person sal.

Before Mr. Baron linsoce. THE KING V. MICHAEL STICKS. ESQ. A if AOI+TRATZ. This' was an indictment against Michael Stocks; Esq. a Magistrate of this county: iesiding at Slack, near Hali fax, for an alleged act of corruption in the dischatge of his duty as a Magistrate. The prosecutor, George Ramsden, re+ides at Wike, in this county, and in the month of May last, was, with 'others of his family, , charged with an assault upon his mother. The ease was heard before Mr. Stocks, w ho. adjudged the Ramsdens to pay costs; bet he positively refused so to do, telling the Magistrate that he might hold them to bail to appear to answer the charge at the . Bradford Sessions. An order was made out, by the direction of Mr. Stocks, for the costs, and a warrant granted upon that order, two person) having been offered as bill, but refulii. In the execution of this warrant, the crnstable was as saulted, and bad his face cot. Tire Ramsdens were ultimately committed to the. Wakefield House of Cor. rection, where they remained five days, and were then admitted to bail by another Gentleman, a Magistrate, named Egremont. The order which Mr. Stocks made was founded upOn the 18th of Gee. 111. cap. 19. sec. 1 which empowers Magistrates. to levy costs in cases which they may have heard and deter mined, and also to order such costs to be paid to the par ty aggrieved. Mr. J. Willa/ads, on• behalf of the defendant, - said that his client bad erred innocently ; legally, the case brought before the defendant did not come within the Act cited, although it had been acted upon for malty years in similar cases. Mr. Baron HtaLccfc.—Then it is high time to put a stop to such practices; - if a Magistrate had this power, very few cases would be heard at the Sessions. I have not the slighteit doubt but Mr Stocks erred in j.idg. ment ; he could have no Motive for oppression. Mr. Bnot . ortam,who was Counsel for the prosecution,. said he would candidly admit that tact. An arrangement then took place between she COun sel on both sides. and it was agreed that a verdict of " Nut Guilty" should be recorded. APRIL HAMS V. WILIIOI4 Mr. PAR[ opened the pleadings, and Nlraisooothitst 4 stated the'case. The Plaintiff is a most respectable at torney, and ea ly in last year bad a.tenant to a farm ot considerable extent, that is, at 4 - rant of 6001. a year, who, either through the distresl of the times, or hiis own misconduct, had become embarrassed. His name as Harrison, and he resided at Humbleton, in HuNai r . ness. Mr. Haire distiained, upon him, in lrehrtieryi, 1827, for rent, and after thaihe , became insolient:" Nlay he applied to•the Insolvent •Debtors' Court; to :be: discharged from prison, when he was opposed by 4 Ale. Beckwith, exec u tor' of a Mr.' Dobson, of Bra asbiiiton., *report of these .proceedings was Wily given in the l London papers, -but the defendant,-instead of copying. Itons,aer of those papers a.kair- end accurate account!, inserted'in.liis paper a most A 440 and . most slandetous parav4ll. .It was as foiciT'o . _ "` Ihtin-saient Debtors ' tout London ye tets day week,' Francis Harrison, late* of iliaidleton ' was 'opposed by Mi. Beckwith, executor of the late Mr. Do ',on, of Br smsburton. Tne grounds ofsopposition weris first, Wirt the insolvent had made away with his prn. ,perty, by Riling several valuable horses tohis sons, oleie boys, and, in collusion with his landlord; Mr. Haire, 'setting sip a fi ctitious distress; and, setmidly, that 'he had used a vexatious defence to ait ACtioa at !law, in 'which Mr. Beckwith was. - plaintiff..- Alter long exanaistation (in the course of which thtinsolveni, .wore that the distress was a bona fide one, for rent ac- tidily owing, and that there was no agreement *between iiasself and his landlord) the case was.adj turned, with an order for the insolvent to produce all papers and documents relative to the distress and the value of his property, and also to produce his lindlord."' In this paragraph there was not a tittle of truth, as to Gbjecttons raised in the insolvent Court—there was no objection to his being di , chsuged, because be had 4 , coalesced wiib his landlord in setting Op a fictitious distress." It was utterly untrue, and calculated to pre• iudice the public mind against Mr. Haire.. Mr. POLLOCK addressed the Jury for the . defendant. He could not, for the lire of hint, find out 'shag mott.lfe so respectable a man as Mr. Haire certainly was could have in bringing such a case as this toYork; had he ben less respectable. he should have supposed he 1441 brought it for the purpose of putting costs into his' pocket, if he got a verdict, and having little to pay if he should fail; for Attornies do business much cheaper for themselves than for any other person. His Learned Friend (Mr. Brougham) with his usual sense, had treated this action with ttiat contempt which it deserved, and had not even made one observation of a general nature in order to fix attention to his case, nor had he even insinuated that the. plaintiff had sustained an iota of injury. It might be very well for Mr. Haireto crime to York, but it nas not so well for a respectable editor of a public print to be brought here, and.held up as a libellet and slanderer of his neighbours, when, in fact, l►e was (illy discharging his duty to the public. Mr. Baron Hinu.octc summed up, and remarked that .1 was impossi6le to conceive that the plaintiff had sus tained any injury by the publication of the •paragrapb in question. Hoer much easier it Would_havesbeen - (his Lordship observed) for the plaintiff to have waited upon tl:e defendant for an explanation; and if there . had been any inaccurate statement gone forth, to have had a counter one inserted in the following paper? The hr y alter c onsulting together for a few minute's, found a verdict for the defendant. RESSAUKASLI Occiatnence.—Some people wbo live near to Blackside.end Hitl,• in the parish of Sorn, Ayr. _shire, having on the morning of Wednesday, the 19th &larch ult. observed something like an open quarry, titer the skirts of that-bill, which had not been percep ible on the preceding day, went to the spot, where they found to their astonishment, an excavation in the ground 1 60 feet long, 40 feet broad, and 16 feet in depth. The earth scooped out is not scattered sound the pit, but thrown down at one place, at 120 f eet f rom t h e bole or' ' cavity; and part remains in lamps of from three to six fret square, with many stoner of some hundred weight. The earth on the sides and bottom of the pit remains, .firm and solid, without rent or aperture. The soil "hat is called hill moss, or black earth, a few inches in , t hickness, and under the moss hard till, some of it of a red colour and part of it blue, without any appearance of rock of any kind. The preceding day was stormy, With !lobes of lightning. That this esogeption has been Cffeatyil by the iuvisible and irresistible powers of elec. igicisacannot adroit of doubt; and it is probable that thatittio has been positively and the atmosphere nega tivity Alleged at the time WWI haPPOCIL PPlaireg .ThraiLigeANCA: - 7 34/1LD11A1.1.2 . Saturday the Parfait Oklicers.of Crlpplegato Within, in the szer cis* of their ditty, called on Sir Pim (toss to decide a qatestion of primogeniture, which might have puzzled the learned ants of Doctors' Commons. They brought before his Worship one Tom Often, who holds some situation in a hooking office in the City, and required Tom to show cause why he should not contribute a tea• somtble weekly stipend to the maintenance of a child, the parentage of which a ninrried lady, named Mrs. Elizabeth T—, was 'pleased to confer on him. Tom Cotton, however, was impolite 'enough not to'consider this in the light of a compliment, and wish 'no less unkindness, he declined the proffered relationship.. The Lady's husband was precisely of the same opinion, and of course 'thos unfortunate bantling could claim no father. ' dlr. Hum PURI ZS, who appeared on behalf of the defendant, con. itended. very briefly, that a married woman could not sustain a lelkarge of affiliation. . Mrs. T.— met this stubborn objection by a candid admission 'Slut she was acqi misted with Tom Cotton before her marriage. Mr. HUM Ph IS-Liut the child was not born then? ' Mrs. T— Oh, yes, but it was—some months before. • Mr. Humemares--Then, in such case, I subMit that the husband 'toot the 'woman with all key ineurabroysces, and,consequentlyhe has a right to support the child. Sir PITZR Laustrz—Your husband thought you a paragon of 'itirtue, no doubt? Mrs. T— Yes, your Worship, and so I was, only for— Sir P. I.ationt 2 You mean to add, for thislittle slip, do you ? Mrs. Why; Sir t-t—yes, Sir . — I mean I don't know, Sir, `but that is the father of mi.child. Defendant— What share had theztone mason in it, eh? Mrs. T— Oh, for shame of you, after but I'll say • nothing. Lauate—Thlf•is tato on which I shall-make no order,nor can. I, indeed, olthout another Magiatrate is prelent. • Let it stand over until Wednesday. Saturday last there was little Dick James, of Cumberland, and black Mark Nicholson, and Will Atkinson, and Tons Fawcett, and Peter Peascod, a Westtnoreland man—placed all arow before Sir Perna LAURIE, to answet for having di•tutbed the peace of the City. The parties are all well to do in the world—well brought up, well fed, and. well dressed—little Dick James of. Ciinitterland bring, at this present, on a visit to London, for the purpose of studying medicine and chirurgery ;, and the other four being whole, sale warehousemen, perManentlY resident - therein. It appeared that these five defendants had been fasting on Good Friday's by excellent endeavour of drinking good :,.ore of fertile;- Sherries"—or some other subtimatory, " until they were become very. lot and valiant ;" and in that state they, and half a dozen others, turned out of the Crown and Sugar Loaf, in Fleet-street, at two o'clock on Saturday Muffling. They-directed their steps east.: ward, towards the heart of the City; and they reached the bottom of Fleet Street, and crossed the end of Fleet-market,. without any. psrticular manifestation of their valour; but at the bottom of laud / gate-hill, little Dick Jam , s of Cumberland, being more sprightlf than the rest, must needs run up the hill crying watch watch and thereupon all the others followed him and his example—shoutitigi watch watch! as loud as they could bawl; and as they ran i they divided Ahem:elves into two parties—six of one, and half 4 dozen uf.the other. The watch, hearing this cry, and seeing one party ilykig and the other pursuing, very naturally concluded , that the flying pasty had done something which they ought nut to ' have done, and therefore they caught as many of them as they Could—to wit, these five now present—and abut them up in the itatc - tiliouse.* It appeaired fuffher, that when little Dick James of Censbertand ssesis caught. he said to the inspector of the watch, who caught him-r-" Take care 'what you are about Sir, for Mr. Peel Is an intimate acquaintance of mine, and I than lay an account rai ',Our conduct before him !"—in corroboration of which high aeqyaintanceship, another of the party endeavoured to trip up the inspector's heels. This was the suns and substance of the complaint against them. • .In their defence they al:eged many things. Firstly, that being all 'Westmoreland or Camberfatid men, they had been spending •tbe4ay (Good 'Friday) at the Eyre Arms, in St. John's Wood, where there was a l ‘ grand wrestling match," at which m ore than three thousand persons were present, and more than two hu'ndred trid their wench at wrestling. Secondly, that they did not atop to part &kcal : aim grand dinner, but agreed to grub in a select party .7 .themselves:_ w_ the Crown and. Sugar Loaf, in Fleet-street. Thirdly 4 that they did do so, and were very selett and.comfortablel by no meane,drunk, or at all (hereunto inclining. Fou'rthly, that the watakintesferred with them unnecessarilyr-inasmuch as the. cry . of . r viatch I * was merely uttered in joke.

The Auszaats94 having heard all that they had to say, asked Mr. Peter Peascod wigether he had given Isis true and real name? and.Nr, Peter_Psawerti (a Gentle nun in a very green coat) having solemnly replied in theaffitmative, his Worship observed that they had conducted themselves very foolishly. " You called fur -the watch, aed you beim - Is:4 the attention of the watch: and - tiow you may all gu boatie,7 added his Worship ; and hzving paid their fees the departed. BOW-STREET. StLICT VESTRIPS-Mr. Fenn, a;:ended by several respectable inhabitants of the pariah of St. Martin-in•the-Field•, r.Pplied to Mr. Hamm, fora warrant against Nettleton and Agar, two of the parish beadles, for an 15$.11.11t; and also against the Rev.

Agar, the beadle, being sent fur, stated that he Meted under di! orders of 'Air. Pouncey and the other Churchwardens, who bate directed him to admit none but Gentlemen of the Select Vestry. The Maglitrate refus«d to grant the warrants, and said that Mr. Fenn could indict the par ties, or proceed against them by action, if he thought fit.

Several cases were gone into, but the frauds had bete conducted in so dexterous a manner that they only appeared u common debts. _ _ Lama said, that be considered the charge made by Mr. Mitchell of quite a different complexion from the rest, and be should carefully consider it before be gave any decision. By Wednesday other cases might be brought forward, and be should therefore remand the prisoners until that day. • Upwards Si two hours of the Magistrates' time was occupied in bearing informations preferred against respectable licensed •ictual lers, by Johnson and Co. Most of theta were, however, disc , charged, being of an unfounded and vexatious nature ; •and Mr. Sergeant Seu.ou took occasion to animadvert, in very strong terms, engthe shameful manner in which the generality of these cases were got•up, declaring that in nine eases out of ten he did nut place the I smallest reliance on the testimony adduced. • M A RLBOROUG H-STREET. ___ Woasstoust Aataions.—Saturday five girls, all dressed in the fall costume of Mary-la-bonne Workhouse, were charged' by a watchman with riotous and disorderly . conduct at Camden Town. The watchman stated that their conduct and language there was abominable, and he was obliged to get assistance to take•them all to the watchhouse. It appeared from the statement of one of the parish officees, that these five ladies had broken out of Mary-la•bonne Workhouse at 11 o'clock on Thursday night, by breaking through a two-brick wall with the laundry piker, and which seemed well cal culated to work a passage through any wall in the parish. Six men are employed to repair the breach made by the five ladies. Their comitict In the Workhouse was most outrageous, and they had been taken to Bow-street, respectively, for their misbehaviour, without producing any improvement in their conduct. They bad nothing to say to the charge, but that Air. Webb would not get them places when they did behave well. Their behaviour at the bar presented iperfect specimen of shameless audacity. Mr. Dram was quite eta loss how to dispose of the prisoners: Pntibihrwent seemed to have no effect upon them. They were fully committed (under the Workhouse Act) to the House of Correction for twenty-one days. MA R Y. L A-BON NE.
