PHILLIPS stated this case to the Jury ; - it was an actios,,hrought by the friendsof the plaintiff, a young man, a wine-merchant in the City, to recover a sum of money lost by the plaintiff in the braise kept'by the de fendant in Pall•mall. The plaintiff had been liberally supplied with money by his friends, and had lost 101. and 121. a night at rouge et noir, in the defendant's house. Treble restoration was precluded by the delay of bring ing the action within three months. William Winans, brother of the plaintiff, was the principal / witness ;.he frequented the house, and lost at play many sums of money in March, April, and May, 1822 ; 251. 97/. 18/. 271. 101. 761. 18/. 106/. 181. 261. 54/. 26/. &c. Witness at that time did business at the Stock Exchange ; witness called upon"the defendant by desire of his mother, and stated that he had lost sums of money in his house; defendant said he did not recognize him, and called in a dealer, whom witness had seen fre iquently at 57-58, Pall-mall; Mr. Taylor asked the dealer if he knew witness? he said be did: Mr. Taylor said, g , This Gentleman says that he has lost 1,4001. in my house, dO you know any dringabout it ?" The dealer replied, " I think the Gentleman must be mistaken; 'for I never saw him play but for small sums." Mr. Taylor asked if I was married, and said that if he had known that I was, he would not have admitted me, and then asked, What can I do for you ? I answered I was in an unpleasant situation, and had come, not by my o sin wish, but by the desire of my mother, who wishes you to re turn the money I have lost, or procure me some situa tion under Government, or in any public office; he said, I'll make inquiry, and let you know ; he never asked me, nor any other man in my hearing, are you married or are you a bachelor? the dealer's name was Vest; the game was played by six packs of cards against. the keeper of the house; there were wines, spirits, cakes, and everything necessary, at the expense of the house. Cross-examined by Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL.—I cer tainly do not rely on my memory for dates and sums; 1 wrote them down at the time, night by night, not all at the same time; my hand is generally unsteady, but this iS steady. You seem not to have profited by the wirier? I always write the same hand; the account begins on the 13th of March, just twelve months before the writ was sued out, but I had not been there for a long time be fore; I was introduced by me. East; I never saw Mr. Burgess till I saw him there; t* went to other houses and lost money; 22, Bury -street, 10, King-street, 32, late 40, Pall-mall; I have been in No. 5, King-street, sometimes lost, sometimes won; I never was refused admittance in my life: Mr. East was introduced to me, by Mr. Jackson, a surgeon in the navy ; I was not a stock-broker ; I used to speculate in the stocks ; it was all gathbling on my own account; I separated from the wine-business in May, 1821 ; the business was in Ctoss street, Finsbury-square, in partnership with Mr. Pi mento; I-had before that been in Lloyd's Coffee-house; 'I was clerk to Robert Hide, Esq. I swear that in March and April, 1822, I borrowed no small sums of money ; I lodged in John-street, Clerkenwell, one pair ; I have not paid my lodgings ; I put my credit to the Jury upon the gamblers; Mr. Pimento sold him a pipe of Madeira for 321. the duty, of tali-se, was not paid ; the meeting with Taylor was by appointment : West was not there at first; after he came he staid the whole time. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Jury for the defendant, and contended that they ought to act with caution in a case supported by only one witness; he should prove that the person who had described his losses was not in a condition to play high. At the time the money was said to have been lest, he was in reduced circumstances, borrowing small sums, and unable to advancer any large stake. One of the days in April, when a loss was supposed to have been suffered, proved to be Good Friday, on which the defendant had never opened his house. The Learned Attorney•Genetal called witnesses who supported his statement. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in his address to the Jury, , observed, that the defendant appeared to be the keeper of one of those houses which occasion so much miv, chief ; they had to consider whether the plaintiff's wits ness, or those called on the part of the defendant, de served the most credit. In a case of this description they ought to be satis fi ed the money really was lost before they gave a verdict for the plaintiff.—The Jury retired, and on their return found a verdict for the plain tiff.--Damages, 680/. THE KING V. 1100 K. This was an indictment againstthe defendant, a Cap tain in his Majesty's service, for an indecent exposure of 'lhis pet son to a child of tender age, in one of the Ken- . 1 tish-town stage coaches. Mr.CHITTY conducted the casefor the prosecution.--,-. The fact of the exposure was proved by the child. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Jury on be half of the defendant, and, in an eloquent and feeling speech, pointed out the utter improbability that a Gentle man of a character so high as the defendant bore could degrade himself by an act so unmanly and so dis graceful. The Learned Gentleman then called Dr. Pearson, who stated that the defendant was labouring under bodily infirmities. Several witnesses gave the defendant a good character for honour and propriety of conduct; and the Jury, after hearing the observations of the CHIEF JUSTICE, acquitted the defendant. MGR COURT OF ADMIRALTY, JAN. et. • THE ELIZABETH. Dr. Annias stated, that as this was an unopposed motion, it would have been, in an ordinal y case, a motion of course: but it seemed very necessary to state the circumstances of this matter. It was an appeal from the sentence of the Vice -Admiralty Court at the Cape of Good Hope, which appeal had not been prose cuted. In the month of August, 113'21, the 'Elizabeth was hired under a charter-party, entered into betc Mr. Pedder, a merchant at the Cape and owner of this vessel, and the mercareile house ot - Morse and Co. also resident at the same place. The charter-party vr as for three months, and stipulated that the Elizabeth should, during that period, be employed in a variety of voyage s _ to and from adjacent p arts of tios coast of Africi; ands ~~ • . 1 ' Jar • hy . a particular covenant, Messrs. Morse and Co. agreed to insere the owner in the sum of 7,000 rix dolls." against all such risks as underwriters run." This insurance co vered the ship throughout the various risks she was to be exposed to pending the term of the charter-party, but did not cover the freight, which was valued at 400 rix dol lars more; upon freight, however, no noestion whatever had arisen. Very near the close of the term mentioned, the Elizabeth was unfortunately wrecked ; and a question arose in the Conn below, upon the substituted value of 7,000 rix dollars in the engagement between the parties. In compliance with a monition issued in April, 182 g; under the seal of the Vice-Admiralty Court of the-lespie of Good Hope - , Morse and Co. by their proctor, ap peared in Court ; but under protest. The gi round of that protest was, " that Courts of Common Law hate cognizance, to the exclusion of Courts of Admiralty, of all contracts made on land." But to ens it was an swered, that the Vice-Admiralty Court, by the letters patent which had been granted to it from the Crown, was specially warranted to take cognizance ot all mat ters whatever relating to maritime affairs, bills of lading, warrants, charter-parties, &c. and entitled to pro • ceed in all cases occurring within the limits of its juris diction between merchants and owners of ships. The Judge of the Court below, after hearing the argument on both sides, overruled the protest, and assigned Morse to appear absolutely ; and on the sth of Aug. 1822, by his interJecutory decree, he directed the 7,000 iii dollars to be paid into Court. This was done, but the proctor for Morse protested of a grievance and ap peal. A protocol of appeal was accordingly put in and admitted, wherein the proctor prayed leave of the Court at tht- Cape to appeal to the High Court of Ad. miralty in England; so that here the appellant had his own choice as to jurisdiction ; t‘hich (Dr. Adams added) his Lordship would not fail to observe as a very mate rial point., Then the proctor for the owner prayed that the sum of 7,0(X) !ix dollars might be paid out of the registry, on sufficient bail being_ given to answer the other party's asserted appeal. The Learned Counsel (Dr. Adams) then stated that this appeal had never yet been prosecuted by Mesrs. Morse and 1.'40. and his application to this Court was, that his Lordship would pronounce the appeal to be deserted. The effect of this „would be, that the bail would be released, the money having been already brought into Court.—The COURT pronounced the appeal to be deserted, as prayed. INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, JAN. Thomas Plagfair was opposed by Mr. POLLOCK for several creditors. The insolvent stated that he baa been a bankrupt in the year 1821, as a trunk and camp equipage -maker, and obtined his certificate in the month of December the same year, two' days after hich he married Mrs. Hitchins, a widow, who carried on an extensive leather trade in Gerrard-street. He did not attend-to the business till April last, when he found it was insolvent ; to that time it was conducted by a clerk, as before his marriage, and in the name of Hit chins. He did not communicate to the persons with whom the house dealt since his marriage, that he was married to Mrs. Hitchins, and that the credit was given to him.- . The debts due by him on account of that ba• siness amount to about £llOO. After his bankruptcy in 1821, he purchased his stock and furniture from his assignees for two bills, on a person of the name of Browning, with whom he was to carry on the business in partnership ; one of the bills was paid, after which Browning became bankrupt. When he married Mrs. Hitchins, she was carrying on a considerable business, and he thought her in good circumstances. Mr. Dyncan, Mr. Jemer, ,and Mr. Capon, leather factors, stated, that, had they known the business be longed to the insolvent, they should not have credited him. 'Mi. Capon added, that insolvent had told him, Mrs. Flitchins was in good circumstances, and that she, had £GOO in her banker's hands; but he admitted that his debt had been reduced from £2OO to £9O. Matthew Wilcox, thirty-one years tlerk to the late Mr. Hitchins his widow, and insolvent, said the tarsi ,ness had declined since the peace. Insolvent never di rected him to conceal his marriage with Mrs. Hitchins. Witness was so well known, that it was unnecessary to make any representations to obtain goods. After some further explanation, the Court decided that the insol vent's marriage had not been concealed for any fraudu lent purpose, or that the creditors had been injured by it, and declared him'entitled to his discharge forthwith. Jan Dodd was opposed by Alt. Grayhurst, a jewel ler, who had given' the insolvent a piece of plate for sale, upon his promise to return. svith either it or the price of it the next day; instead of doing which, he applied the money for which he disposed of it to other 13,urposes. The Couat . ordered him to he remanded for nine ca lendar months, and confined within the prison. SURREY SESSIONS, JAN. , 2o. • Anne Hogan, a girl of 17 years of age, was indicted for stealing a pair of gold ear-rines and a shawl, from the infant child of William Nonkelaw. It appeared from the evidence, that, on the 15th inst. the child was sent by its parents to a house in the neigh— i bourhood of Bermondsey-street. On her way thither she was met by the prisoner, who induced her to go up an unfrequented. yard, by a promise of giving her some apples. When they got there, the prisoner took the ear rungs out of her ears, and also a s hawl which the child ',had on her shoulders. After the rob ber y , the p risoner her out of the yard, and seeing a little boy, she gave him a penny for taking the child home, who mentioned these particulars to her father, and he questioned the boy, who gave an accurate description of the woman thai had entrusted the child to his care. Upon his in forthation the prisoner was apprehended, and clearly identified by the child. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the CHAIR* 1114114 commented, in strung language, on the offence of which she had been found guilty, and sentenced her to be transported for seven years. James Gray was indicted for stealing a hammer, a rubber, and other articles, the property of Messrs. Mandsly the engineers. Tire prosecutor stated, that the prisoner had been in his employ for some time, and was considered an honest servant until the present charge. One of the workmen's tool chests had been broken open and robbed—the pri soner was then suspected, and, on searching hi, lodg ings, a quantity of property was found belonging to the prosecutors, amongst which were the articles mentioned in the indictment. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the indictment, and I he wassentenced to be transported for se ve n y ear s. .weep Extract of a letter from Phila(lelubia, dated Decem ber 19,1 ENS Cubbett has petitioned the Legitlature 'of Pennsylvania to refund' the amount of a tine (9,01:10 dollars). paid by him some years since into the-State Treasury.

Joseph Nash was put to the bar on an indictment, - charging him with receiving a brass gun or,cannon, the property of Captain John Marshall, of Elstree, Iletts, and Sarah Nash alias Lloyd, was also indicted fur re ceiving four pieces of a similar descri,)tion. The principal witness was John" Low, Who had. in tact stolen the property and sold it to the prisoners, who keep a marine store shop at Paddington. In the 'course of cross-examination, Mr. Commos SEILICANT put it to the Jury to say, whethtr they could sufficiently rely on such a profligate witness, w h o had even the im pudence to confess that he knew of twenty robberies committed during the last year? The Jury immediately found the male prisoner Not Guilty, and the C3unsel for the prosecution declined offei nig any evidence against the female. The Sessions will not conclude until to-morrow, when sentence will be passed on the prisoners convicted during the present Session. it M rc.:(ast to that of other Foreign Ministers, who were, 0 : 00-se, invited at the sante'. tide.

There are several daily Papers at Paris which are ex empted from the regulations which affect the other Journals, upon condition of their abstaining from all political news.. One of them, '.•":e Diable Boileus, wishing to notice the rumoured preparations at hrest, has the following article amongst its thpuical paragraphs —" The Theatre of Brest is in fultactivity.

MARTIN. This was an action for the Jul y to assess the damages, for tent and dilapidation. Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case.—The defendant, Mar tin, had hail a lease of a house in Viikett-street, Strand; the covenant of which rar., that he should amend, cleanse, and so forth ; instead of which, on his leaving it, it was in a diMpidated state, so much so as to require, to put it in even tenantable repair, a sum which, ►n addition to the standing rent, made the amount 1251. which he sought to recover at their hands. Mr. Henry King deposed, he examined the house on the 23d of March, 1823, the day after it had been left; the dilapidations that had accrued were from wilful and gross neglect 25/. would he the least sum that would reinstate the fixtures carried away. There were many other dilapidations which were indispensably requisite to be done, the windows were much broken, and the bill-stickers had covered the exterior of the shutters. Cross-examined by Mr. C. LkW, Counsel for the de fendant.—Witness does not know when he first went there; never knew of any ri!itice being given, none was given ; cannot swear the dilapidations took place during the defendant's tenantry ; there were many fixtures in the 'house. . - - By the COURT.—WeIt to make the survey font- days after the term expired ; knows the defendant, he is a Solicitor in Lamb's Conduit-street ; the rent is 791. Mr. LAw, in his address to the Jury, contended that the terms of the record had not been satisfied ; both the Attorney and Special Pleader had vitiated the point of their own cause. The lease required expressly, that upon leaving the premises, in the event of any dilapi dations having accrued, three months notice should be given by the landlord for their reparation—this he ap prehended did away anything with regard to the claim for dilapidation; and Le conceived the Jury would have to banish it from their minds entirely. With regard to the ►ent, they had, by suffering judgment to be taken by default, acknowledged something was due ; but in this he would prove by witness, that the plaintiff agreed to accept some valuable fixtures, and to deduct their amount of value from the rent,•which paper he would produce, and call a witness to prove it.—Here Mr. Law called a witness to identify the hand-writing. Mr. ADOLPHUS observed, the only way an instrument could be proved was by the subscribing party, who was dead. This was sufficient to invalidate the instrument. Mr. George Chew, surveyor, saw the premises in the Occupation of the defendant, and made an estimate of the fixtures, value 531. 15s. At the quitting of the pre mises he would deduct JO/. from their value. A consi derable.sum had been expended on the premises before the underletting; 21. would have repaired the glass ; during this time Mr. Bromall called from Mr. Read, and asked if he had any of Martin's concerns to settle? and was answered in the affirmative ; he said the fix tures had been abandoned when the key - was given up. • Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS --The incoming tenant did not purchase them ; he (witness) would give 301. for them himself; the window-frames were not broken, not were the dilapidations much.' S. Pike, surveyor, corroborated the last witness. It. Kennedy was in Mat tin's kitchen at a time when Read called to demand his rent ; he said he would agree to doetice the amount of fixtures, and take it at 101. per month. - - • Mr. LAW here again called the attention of the Court to the clause-in the lease. The 'Collar feared it could not travel out of its re. gular routine of law, moreover as the liability to repair was admitted. • Mr. LAW contended Mr. Read was the althor of his own wrong. Mr. ADOLPHUS ingeniously replied. The Smentvf addressed the Jury, and told them it was for their consideration if a setoff could be allowed. The Jury gave a verdict for plaintiff-o.xlmtges 1041, • - - . . THE EARL OF ESSEX V. JEFFRY.. This was A writ of inquiry to assess the damages in an action against the defendant. The action was brought to recover.a sum of 50i. for two ponies, *Lich were sent to the livery stables for sale. Ihe ponies were sold, htit some disputes arose on the% occ•ision. VerOiCt for the plaintiff—Damages 501. • PLACKETT V. LORD THURLOW. • This was an action against the defendant for "'the • covery of 871. his witle-merchant's bill. The plaintiff is a witiemerchant, in Bur lington-street, and had supplied the Noble Lnrd with wine fran time to time, of the most superior quality, to the amount in question, which had frequently been applied for without avail. This action,was, consceitienily, the only resource. His Lordship had subsequently promised to pay the bill,' but never perforthed that promise. Damages, 871.
