This was an action between two coach proprietors, foe,* breach of contract. The trial of it, from the great number of witnesses examined; occupied the attention of the Court the entire day ; but the details possessed nothing of pnbliC interest. The principal facts were shrirtly theses The plaintiff, an extensive coach proprietor, residing a( Thatehatn, on the road from London to Bath, being about co retire from business in October,. 18241, entered i0),,0 an agreement with the defendant (the proprietor of 10. irettlt House, at Bath), for the disposal to the latter, foe. the sum of 2 2501. of his interest in several of the , litith and Bristol coaches, and, ansqog the rest, of two called:the Express and Defiance, of which the defendan t etas also part owner.

THR ROO V. JOIEWWILLIAMs, FOR THE MURDER OF ANEW CRaTCHLVIf. ' - - The mysteliotes nature of this dreadful crime, by which the life of an unfortunate and abandoned female was taken away in the very beast of this city, and under circumstances as revolting to human nature as to hu manity, cantiuues to occupy the public mind here, to site exclusion almost of every other topic. Suspicion, su nog and dark, still attached to the man Williams, who was found so near the scene of the murder; and as the day approached which was to establish his innocence, or dissipate conjecture with respect to him, curiosity and anxiety became mote active. At the last examination of this man he was admitted to bail, upon an under standing that he would be put upon his trial for the murder at the. neat Sessions,' the Jurisdiction of that Court being, like those of Bristol, Eseter, and some other places, competent to the adjudication of capital lefonies, This Morning, at an early heur, W.
