LOURT OF ADMIRALTY, JULY 17. ALFRED-SALVAGE. In this case, the Honourable East India Company's chartered ship the Alfred, on her return from China to England, with a cargo consisting chiefly of teas, got on s hore, on the 20th of February last, on the West Nock Sand, near the Note. The value of the ship and cargo was estimated at ninety thousand pounds. Straitly after the vessel grounded, and about two o'clock in the morning, two fishing smacks, the Tn bot and Mullet, having on board sixteen men, perceived a light, and stood in the direction .of it. The Turbot first pot up, and Constable, the Master, boarded the Alfred, and was engaged by Captain Pearson to assist the ves sel. Shortly afterwards the Mullet arrived too, and after some little hesitation on the part of Captain Pear son, she also was engaged, and was employed to carry out her own anchor into the stream, to assist the Alfred in heaving off the bank as the tide flowed. The wea ther appears to have been settled at the time, and the situation not one of any danger ; and moreover, that the assistance of those boats was mainly accepted in consequence of the pilot then on board being in a state of inebriety. For the services rendered thus, the own ers had made a tender of 150 i. to the salvors, which they had relu ed, and held them (the owners) to bail in the sum of 2,oool.—and the question for the Court was, to say what would be a fair and liberal compensa tion f it such set vices. Sir C. ROBINSON said it could not be denied that the salvors had acted with promptitude and alacrity, for they no sooner saw the light but, conceiving it to be a signal of distress, they hastened to lend their assist ance. It had been denied by the opposite parties that this was such a signal, but that was not very material. The salvors had evidently given their services a very high colouring, but that must be always expected in claims such as the present. They might have been further induced to do so, or even to deceive themselves, in consequence of the very great valuer f the ship. The risk they incurred was not great, neither were the exer tions they made, as the crew of the Alfred consisted of fifty-nine men. They bad been tendered 1501. The Court would not differ much with this tender, but as it was always disposed . to encourage prompt and zealous assistance being given in all cases of danger, it would pronounce for 2001 and costs for the salvors, indepen dent of the value of an anchor and cable lost by the Mullet on the occasion. THE ALBION. The facts of this ease were briefly these :—On the 13•h ', of December, the Albion, a vessel of small tonnage, was discovered on tire off Hastings. Two sailing boats. sallied the Spring and Marquis Camden, put off to her assistance, and found the vessel deserted by her crew,' and in custody of two Custom-hotive boats. The Spring ran alongside of the Albion, which was on fire from her mainmast to her stern, and although it was stated that several casks of gunpowder were on board of her, the boats were nit deterred from affording every neces sary assistance. It appeared, however, that four other boats besides those belonging to the Custom-house had rendered service also, and through their joii.t exertions the vessel was towed to land and scuttled. On behalf of the owners, the sum of W. a man was offered for ti►c assistance they had rendered, which offer the Custom hous,e officers and the rest of the turn engaged in the salvage agreed to take, excepting the men belonging to the Spring and Marquis Camden, who resisted, and claimed to be considered as salvors with reference to the amount of the cargo, which was admitted to be upwards of 7001. Atter Crime' had been heard on both sides, Sir C. ROBINSON decided that 2/. per man, the amount of the original tender, oas a sufficient remuneration for the service which the parties in this suit had rendered. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—ABINGDON, JULY 16. LORD MOUNTSANDFoRD I S MURDER. WIZ NING V. SAMUit. BRINNANIT, 111061 All DUN; AND Cite. BUNT. This case, by special appointment, MIN on this day. The prisoners were arraigned at eight o'clock. Mr. Jones, the Clerk of IndictmEnts, read over the indict ment, in which there were nine counts, some of which alleged that the death of Lord Mountsandford was occasioned by being violently cast and thrown upon the pavement, and others stated that Brinklett kiCked him on the back part of the skull. and that the others present were aiding, ahetting, assisting. Mr. Tattouar. stated the case to the Jury. Gentle men, said he, it is my painful duty to give you a short and simple narrative of the circumstances under which the young Nobleman, whose death you are now assem• bled and govern to inquire into, came to his fate. I will preface myuariiiitive by informing you that I am in structed on the part and at the instance of the sue viving relatives; in instituting those proceedings, they have no option left them, and in the spirit of their feelings, it - - will be my most ankious desir e to confine myself within the limits of my public duty. Deeply of acted as they are by the result of this unfortunate affi ay, they come herr with no resentment gtatity,with no desire to per secute the prisoners at the bar, but with the most anxir.us wish th4t 00 prejudice should find its way into }our nrinds; the t you should rather lrn k at the case with those feelings of commiseration which are excited by uhe com mon ditties of our native ; th.a you will watch the un ha ; py circumstances rf this affair v ith the strictest jea loul ; and that atter you have heard the evidence you will apply the law to it as you shall hear it from his Lordship. and judge of the whole transaction in that mild, cool, and charitable feelinr, which should be en- tertained by erring men when lie sits in judgment on the infirm•ties of others. Gentlemen. Lord Mount- monitor d, at the time he came by his death, was visiting at Windsor, where he had some relations in the regi ment quartered there. This unhappy affair took place in the week rf Ascot races, when a great deal of li cense prevailed ; and I think you will have reason to regret, in the result, that stricter guard was nrt kep over the public peace. TheLearnedCounsel then ente , ed into a detail of the facts oft .e ease, as they have already appeared b: fore t e public. Gentlemen, the charge however which the ploiecutors make upon this occasion is, that according to the evidence, Sami. Brinklett was Vie person who gave the kick. With respect to the person of liiinklitt, some of Cie wit tesses who knew his person will say they knsaw him to be the man ; nn ot iers hi. appearance made a strong impression ; and others will met/. t) the dies that he wore t rat evening. I'. Hunt was pursued by one witness. and taken on the sr t, and therefore that he wa, taking some part in the transaction there can be no doubt. As t i G. Hunt, there will be no more evi dence against him than that he was aiding in the affray. if these facts, Gctitl-men, are proved, it will then be a consideiation what the legal effect of them will be. I entreat you, in the spirit ot the in t- uctions I have re ceived, and let me ad.!, in the spir of charity and gene tOSity, manifesting the feelings of the yfialig Nobleman n „ w no more—let anr a k for I , imoto!dead,that y6u will act as beowoule. it I.v nn (fur his sial.ole life was gene rosity, and kindness, and the best feeling)—watch the evidence with the most jealous caution, and when you are considering the result you are to come to, make the largest and most liberal allowance for the infirmities cf our nature; consider the workings of the human pas sions in an affray in which one party was, perhaps, more blameable in provoking than the other in reta hating—consider what that treatment might have been, which, if ft did not make the accused reckless of the deeds they did, might have blinded their judgments at the moment, and 1 beseech you to manifest the calmest coolness in considering the fatal error into which they have fallen, and which }on are assembled to consider. l Several of the witnesses were called, whose evidence has already appeatei bel , ,re the public at ample length in the public reports of the proceeding of the inquest. Lieutenant Gascoigne, of the Blues, and who is the neatest relative of the deceased young Nobieman, was called to prove his style and title, as it was set out in the indictment. The indictment alleged that he was Henry Sandford, commonly called Baron Mount sandford, of Casthreagh, &c." Mr. Gascoigne stated, that he never knew his deceased relative had any t!ler Christian name than " Henry," and the surname aas . 4 Sandford." Mr. Cuawoon, who was engaged for the first named prisoner, and Mr. SHEPHERD, Who WAS Counsel for the two Hunts, contended that " S tudford " must be tak n as a Christian name, together with se Henry," as al leged in the indictmen., and therefore there was a variance between the evidence and the record. In the style and title of the present Lord Chancellor, he was always denominated ee John Singleton, Lord Lynd hurst," and every body knew his surname to be rr ley." Therefore, " Henry Sandford" must be taken as one Christian name, the same as ''John Singleton." Mr. Baron VAt'GIIAN did not overrule the objection, but said that he did not conceive it if sufficient weight to stop the prosecution. He r eser veil the point, however, in case the prisoner's Counsel should think it necessary t') argue it hereafter. After further eviderce was called, the Learned Judge asked Mr. fa fourd if he could procure any evidence to show such a premeditated design as would cousttt ste any thing more tun manslaughter ? Mr. Tnceounn said he could not, and the case for the prosecution, showing the points of the facts as they have already appeared, was then closed. Brinklett, in his defence, stated that on the night in question there were confusion and fighting about the streets cf Windsor in all directions, between persons who called themselves Gentlemen and the snob ; that he was kr.ocked down and beaten several times, and after getting up the last time he had endeavoured to run away, and in the h-at of the moment he kicked some one who was on the ground. He had no idea who the person was, and had not the slightest inttntion of causing Lord Mountsandf. ird's or any other person's death. He was extremely sorry for what had happened, and when he heard that there was a warrant out against him, be immediately went and sut tendered himself. On the past of the prosecution the last fact was ad mitted. Thomas Hunt, in his defence, said, that he had no thing to do with the riot, but he was grossly assaulted by a Baronet, whose name he mentioned, and ss ho was An officer in the Guards. lle declared solemnly that he had not been in Brinklett's company on the night in question, sod knew nothing of ss hat had flatly hap pened until long after the transaction. He had not hrtu A ht witnesses to his character, because he did not know it was necessary ; but all the row commenced ' with the Gehtlemen, and if there was any body in Court ern Win.lsor, he was not at all a'raid to ask them his character before the Judge and Jury. The prisoner then looked arziously round the Court, and iecogniz ing Mr. Smith, the High Constable of Windsor, he called him. Mr. Smith, an old respectable looking individual, then got into the box, and deposed to the general di,. turbauce of Windsor on the night in question, and stated, that when going his rounds a party of Gentle men run round him into the Three Tuns public house, between twelve and one, and came oot in a minute. They then called ont for the 66 Charlies," saying that a pickpocket had gone in there. Witness searched the house, but fund only the landlord. One of the Gentle- men then caught 11.41 d of both his hands, and said, "My fine old cock, let us have a good shake," and almost shook his hands off. Another of them, who was be hind him, caught hold of his ears, and wrung them so dreadfully, that from the water it produced in his eyes, he could not see for several minutes. _ San•uel Buckmaster, a tespectable shopkeeper in Windsor, gave both the Hunts an excellent character. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN summed u s ) the evidence to the Jury, telling them that the offence committed only 4mounted to manslaughter, as such a general tumult had existed, and no malice prepense had been proved. His 1 0 9r4ship left it to the Jury to say whether all or f the prisoners had been guilty of manslaughter. The Jury consulted for file minutes, and then found all the prisoners Guilty of Manslaughter. Mi. Baron VAUGHAN, in passing sentence, said that to afford an example of the punishment which the laws of this country awarded to crimes beyond description in brutality, he should pursue the utmost course allowed by statute. and therefore sentenced Brtnklett to trans portation fur the term of his natural life. The other two prisoners had aided in the brutal affray, though their offence was di,tinguishable from that of the main ag gressor, and therefore he sentenced them only to two year:imprisonment and hard labour. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—WINCIIESTER, Jun' 16. LIBEL.--..THE KING, ON THE PROSECUTION OF THE REV. HARRY LEE, V. THOMAS BAYLEY. Mr. Sergeant Msuewsruza stated the case to the Jury. He said, he did not know whether the parties in the present case wese known to the Gentlemen of the Jury, and he would therefore state, that the prosecutor was a Gentleman well known to many persons present, of very great and known respectability connected with the College, and having Church preferment ; the de fendant was a man well known iti this city, and up to the transaction which they had to investigate, he be. lieved, and would say, that he should not be justified in saying he was otherwise than a respectable man. The defendant having had disputes b:tween some of hi; relations, particularly a Mr. Symonds, he knowing the prosecutor, thought he could not do better than refer them to him, which being acceded to by the other par ties, the prosecutor proceeded to investigate the affairs he was eatrusted with, and on repeated occasions up ro a certa'n period, had received the marked thanks of the defendant. Unhappily, however, some differences arose about a sum of money which was placed at the disposal of the prosecutor, who thought it advisable to invest it ,in the Funds, which much displeased the defendant, and he from time to time sent the Reverend prosecutor very annoying letters, which, annoying as they were, and distressing to his feelings, so long as they were sent only to himself, he took no nonce of them. The defendanz finding thi‘, had th-uelit fit to send a copy of one of •the letter; to another Gentleman, the Rev. Mr. Poulter, and the prosecutor had found it to be his duty, in order t i protect himself from these attacks, to bring the ca.e before a Jury of his country, knowing that they would deal with him as they would be deatt onto. The Jury would find, on his (the Sergeant's) reading the letters to them, and considering the situ ition in life of the pro secutor, the necessity there was of the case being laid before them. He would call their attention to the first letter, which was dated the 54th of November last. The Learned Sergeant then proceeded to read the letters. After reading some little way, and commenting as he went along, he was stopped by Mt. Justice PARC, who said he only wished them to be read once, they were so s;iocking. Mr. Sergeant M EREW ETII ER quite acqiiesced in what 'his Lordship had said. They certainly were not fit to be read more than once. They would speak far them selves. He was•sorry to say, that the subsequent con duct of the defendant had render. 4 it absolutely neces sary, for the peace and con fort of the prosecutor, to brit.g this case before them, which he did not with a vindictive motive,but in order to receive that protection be was entitled to. For the defendant had not thought it sufficient for his impose to send these letters to the prosecutor and the Reverend Gentleman, but had ab solutely, in the face cf evi•ry thing, and since his Lord ship had been here, published these very letters in the shape of a pamphlet, and sent them to different indivi duals in this city, and at the very time when he ought to have done all in his power to palliate his offence; so that nothing but their verdict could stop the defendant from in..ulgint! in this species of abuse. Wherever the prosecutor finds that this is effected, then he will know how to apply it to the defendant. The Rev. Harry Lee, the prosecutor, examined by Mr. POUL TER—I received this letter on the day it is dated, or the dry following.—The letter was then mad. Mr. Lee's ex imination continued.—There were dis pute, between the defendant and a Mr.Symonds. which were referred to rue. I am a Clergyman of the Church of England; the defendant Applied for two papers; I gave him copies of them ; I did not give him the ori ginals ; I received them of Mr. Symonds. Mr. Sergeant E. Lawss addressed the Jury on the part of the defendant, and contended that the letters were not written front any rancorous feeling towards the plaintiff, but under the impression of some supposed injury, which he (the Learned Sergeant) did not attempt to justify. Mr. Justice PARK summed up, and after stating the law,said he did not know what the prosecutor was com posed of, if he had sat quietly and taken no notice of these letters. The Jury immediately found the defendant Gully. POLICE IN I'ELLIGENCE. .~ GUILDHALL. Robert Foulkes, a lad, was charged with stealing 21. ffs. 6d. from his employer, a silversmith, in Wilson -street, Gray's Inn-lane. It was the custom to send the prisoner almost daily to the Assay. office, to pay the duty on manufactured silver articles, and get them marked. and on the 14th of April the prisoner was sent to Gold smith's Hall, as usual, to get the mart put on some silver articles, having 21 7s. 6d. given him for the duty, and 2s. for other purposes; and he was trot again heard of until yesterday morning, when he applied for relief to the Overseers of the parish to which he belongs, and was taken into custody. He bad, it appeared, left the articles at the Hall, but had carried off the money.—The prisoner declined making any defence, and was committed for trial. - . BOW-STREET. Wednesday Michael Keefe, a well-known prig, was charged with having picked the pocket of Mr. Ituache of a gold watch and ap pendages, during the fight on 'Formby between Reed and Sharpe, at No Man's Land. The evidence was incomplete, and be was remanded. On being locked up, he commimicated to the gaoler the name of the " fence" to whom the watch had been disposed of. and a search warrant was delivered to the °Ewers for execution. Accordingly that same night the °dicers proceeded to a house in St., Clement's-lane, in which a man, nanieJ James Guest, resided, who was mentioned in the warant. Guest and his wife were both taken into custody. For security, the Officers locked their prisoners up in the front room on the first floor, while they proceeded to search the house, in which they found six watches, gold and silver, with chains and seals, an immense quantity of jewellery, plate, and in short a variety of every descrip ' of property that could be named. Among the articles found were some costly female orna ments, solid gold bracelets set with valuable cameos, sapphire necklaces, &c. ace. As soon as the officers had completed their search they returned to the rouni in which they had placed Guest and his wile, when they discovered that the former bad jumped out of the windo.v into the street, and by that means effected his escape. They, however, conveyed the wife and the property found to the watchhouse, and brought them before the sitting Magistrates yesterday, who discharged Mrs. Guest, but ordered the property to be detained. HATTON-GARDEN. A decent looking young man was charged with stealing three trowels. The prisoner was detected coming out of a new house hi Gray's Inn 'toad with the property in his possession. The trowels belonged to two workmen employed upon the premises. The pri soner said it was distre4s drove him to commit the felony, having a wife and three children to support.—Committed. WORM' I P.:ilia:ET. _ _ _ Mary Bagger and her husband were charged with robbery: It appeared that the female prisoner was in the service of Mr. Henry, who has a house at Stamford hill. On the 15th ult. Mrs. Henry lets town for Scotlsnd, and shortly afterward& the prisoner married the man at the bar ; and they then robbed the house of wine, linen, &c. which were found at a. house in Edmonton, where the male prisoner had left them. Roth prisaneis were committed for trial. MARY-LA-BONNE. J. Houghton was charged with ass.sering a►►d pulling the ears of C. Wright. These young Gentleman are articled to Mr. Yourtt, Surgeon, in St. Mary.la.bonne, and the reason assigned by the de fendant for committing the above offence was, that the ctstuplain ant had divulged his secrets. 1411.WrighCsaid, be bad only made that known, which his duty required. One day. in the dissecting -loom, the defendant tot& up a carving knife, and declared, he'd be d--d if be should not like to cut Mr. Youatt's threat, and he (Wright) told bit. Youatt of it. The defendant was ordered to give security to keep the peace towards Mr. Youatt and blr. Wright, himself in 501. and two othtr persons in 251. each. Al EST. Jahn all‘Can was charged with stealing two watches from the dwelling-house of Alfa. Lydia Holben, at flromley. Mrs. liolben stated that on Monday last, while she was up stairs, .a man came to the door and asked it' she wanted any lines; she told hint she did not, but shortly after she heard a rush into one of the lower rooms, which attracted her attention, and on exami nation found there were two watcjws stolen, one of which belonged to a lodger, and the other to herself; that belonging to her was worth 11. She could nut identify the prisoner, having only heard his yoke. She gave an immediate alarm, and the prisoner was taken into custody. John Furlong said that he was a lodger with the last witness. The watch now produced is his property, and of the value of 30s. Daniel Brien was working in a field adjoining the prosecut t ix' s house. When the alarm was given the prisoner was running as if to make his escape, and he seized him by the collar, and detained . him.- George Holben corroborated this testimony, and added that the prisoner had fallen in the field, and dropped the watch now produced.—The prisoner was fully conimitte4 to Newgate. TH A MES POLICE. _ E Samoa Asuoaa.—A weather•beaten chap, whose rough mug displayed the climates of other countries, was brought to this Office, having been found rolling drunk in the street,with a woman's bonnet and petticoat covering his inezpreuibles.
