THE FISHER GIRL -A SEA-SIDE SKETCH. • DT DIRNARD BARTON. My he.. is on the ocean shore, My father's cot beside the wave, Where winds of winter loudest roar, I, And crested billows hoarsest rave. • liely brothers, beautiful and brave, 'At Trafalgar, by Nelson's side, Too early won a watery grave, And fell in boyhood's pride! 11l could my mother's heart sustain A blow so sudden and severe; She died ! and I alone remain My sire% else childless home to cheer : !wept ! but he could shed no tear, Though I might hear his stifled groan, When slowly from my mother's bier He turned—to me alone! tot Poverty, whate'er its 'lief, Must labour for its daily bread; Its hour of mourning must be brief, However dear the humble dead : And Childhood's tear, though freelfshed, Is soon forgotten—day by day, As o'er our lowly roof it sped, •' • Some sorrow stole away ! And now I Would not change my lot For that of wealth's most splendid home; More dear to me our sea-side cot Than grandeur's proudest, loftiest dome : The beach, where hour by hour I roam, Is more than flowery fields to me ; Its breakers, crested white with foam,. My playmates frank and free! The rocky cliffs that lift on high Their froms to battle with the breeze, Are lovelier to my partial eye Than verdant clumps of leafy trees; The solemn sound of tossing seas, The fisher's song, the gull's loud ery,• My childish fancy better please Than inland melody ! Then think me not of hope forlorn Or wrigled by toil and sorrow down; With basket on my arm, each morn I gaily seek :he market-town : None greet me with an angry frown, But all my humble labours aid ; Pity the King who wears a crown, But not the Fisher Maid ! (Frees Ike Gem.) LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. ft. • • TRIAL AT BAR—FOURTH DAY. THZ IXECUTORS OF JOSHUA RitIVE V. BRENTON. A few minutes after ten o'clock three of the Judges took their seats on the Bench, when the names of the July were called over, and the tri4l proceeded. After the examination of two witnesses respecting the general opinion of the inhabitants of Cornwell as to what is generally termed Duchy Land, The ATTORNEY GENERAL tendered the following clOcumentiry evidence, taken from the Duchy Office of Cornwall. Mr. HARRISIN read a 'ewe granted in the reign of William the Third, dated 1692, granting to Henry Vin. cent and Francis Stowell the :jet to mine for copper, reserving to the Crown royal mines and mines of tin. The second was the registry ref a lease granted in the reign of Georgett e First by the then Duke o' Cornwall, dated the Sd of , arch, 1761, giving a similar grant to the widow of Francis Scovrll. Mr. BROUGHAM objected to this document being re cfived in evidence, it being only the registry of a geed, sir t produced nor probably in existence st ch a docu ment as the one now tendered might be admi sib'', where the deed was from the King, but whatever the exalted rank of the then Duke of Cornwall might have been, he was but a subject, and the evidence now ten dered was a copy of the enrolment in the Duchy office, in place of the original lease,which was not accounted for. The ATTORNEY Gatraam. replied at considerable length, contending that the evidence was admissible, which opinion was s.rpported by Mr. Ilmintsox. Lord TENTRRDIN was r•f opinion that the enrolment should be taken in evidence: for alerough these might not be a Duke of Cornwall in exi.tener, there was in the Duchy an Auditor and other Officers who con ducted the affairs of the Duchy, of- %hid' the Crown always las an interest. The other Judges having de- . livered their sentiments in favour of his Loid.hip's opinion, the document was given in evidence. The third was a lease, granted in the reign of George 11. to William Lemon, for a similar purpose, dated July 3, 1741. The fourth, dated June 13. 1762, in the reign of George 111. by his present Maje►ty, to the trustees of William Lemon. for which they paid into the hands of the Treasurer of the Duchy Office 6001. The Cou►t adjourned at the usual hour. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. WI LAWRENCE V. HOOKER. This was an action to recover 171. 10s. the value of a horse and harness seized under a distress f rent. The case was one not wholly devoid of interest to landlord and tenant. Mr. Sergeant WILD; for the plaintiff, said that the defendant, Mr. Hooker, wiesifie landlord of a house in White's-ground, Bermondsey, which he had let to a' person named Gee. The latter was in arrear for the rent, and finally became insolvent. Before he neat to prison Gee sold a horse and harness for 171. 10s. to the plaintiff Lawrence, who not being prepared with a st '- Isle for it, obtained leave from Gee is let it remain in bis stable for a few days, but before he could nice i: away the defendant put in a distress, and the horse was sold, to the defendant, being taken in part satisfaction oil his demand. These were the princip.l facis of the case It appeared from the evidence, that when the defendant and his broker went on the premises they made an in rientory, though tln horse and stable were locked up; and the defsndant's Counsel (Me. Sergeant 'CADDY) assumed that was sufficient to coostitue a legal seizure, though the horse was not actually touched for two days after. The Cuts, .IE/nine held a contrary opinion, and the Jury under his Lordship's .directions, found their verdict for the plaintiff—damages 171. 10s. PREROGATIVE COURT, Nov. 1111. NOICZ3 V. NUKES. Dr. ADDAMS said, in this case the testatrix, whn at the time of her death was a widow, left behind her, in her own handwriting, a most singularly worded docu ment. which she styled her last will and testament. It atis worded in that pa , ticular manner, that the Learned Counsel thought it must be referred to a Court of Coa sts uction, as it was net alleged that the testatrix was i f insane mind. See ds sired, that in ca e she died before Ms Plies', the money that that Lady might leave her 14tould be divided amongst her tousins; when the fact was, there was no probability of her mrseili UT any from that source. She also directed 1401. to be paid to her nephew, Robert Nokes, on his arriving at the aze of fl; but particularly request-A her executors (.Ithough n one were seamed) not to ingest it in the Saving Banks, as she did.pothie that establishment, but to put it into the Stooks. In fact, the document was one of such an extraordinary ch ra ter, that hi did not think the Court tumid even treat it as a aill. Sir J. %1/cam. thought the proper mode is such a ' ease would be tosrant administration 'Opt brother of the deceased, as the cnly next of kin, witli this paper annexed. Then, if necesbary, it might be again brought under the consideration of the Conn, by the parties in• wrested. SEEMLY V. SrELIY. The testator in this case died on the 31st March, leaving a widow, and seven children, and possessed of property to the amount of 2.0001. After hid decease a paper was found, directing this property to he es,ually divided amongst bis wile and children. This paper was not witnessed, and it was endorsed in the testator handswriting, 66 if I sh uld die before making a fair will, I wish this paper to be considered as such. The ;uestion war, whether this paper, not being signed, could be acted upon ? Sir J. NICIfoLL had no doubt that the testator meant it to operate as his will in case he died before making a more fu: mal one, and therefore ordered probate ac cordingly. COURT OF EXCHRQURR, Novamiaß 22. 111 THE MATTER 07 THE CITY 07 BATH. Thi; was an application on the part of the Corpora tion of the City of Bath, that the Foreign Apposer of this Court might certify the amount of several fines and recognizance., and that the Lord Treasurer's R-membrancer, in whose hands the money (about 4001.) is, should pay over so much as results from the recognizance: to the Corporation of the City of Bath. It appeared that certain fines were imposed, and recog nizances estreated, at a Quarter Sessions held in that city in 1823. TI e Bishop of Bath and Wells claimed the amount of these fine., to the exclusion of the Cor poration; and the latter body having obtained a rule Mai. calling on the Foreign Apposer to show cause why he should not pay the money to them, the officer, not whiting to take upon himself tanfas componere Ides, paid it e amount into Court. An order was at the same time made, that notice should be served on the Attorney-General and on the Bishop of Bath and Wells, of the application of the Corporation. The Bishop and the Corptaration have since come to an amicable arrangen:ent. • The Bishop consents to take the fines, and relinquishes all claims to the recognizances. The Corporation, on the other hand, are satisfied with the recognizances; and the Attorney General being of opi. nion that the rights of both parties are well founded, has waive d all claim on the pail of the Crown. The fines amount only to 181. and the Corporation were now de sirous of getting the rest of the money into their hands. The Cowry ordered the Itemembtancer to hand over the money to the Corporation, upon the Attorney Ge• oval appearing in person to consent, and upon the production of a proper consent from the Bishop of Bath and Wells. THI KIND V. 'ICELAND. This was an information against the defendant, a tallow chandler, residing at Camberwell, for manufac turing candles without having given due notice to the Ercise officers, and also for concealing candles after they were manufactured by him.—He was convicted cm both counts, and the question now submitted to con sideration WAS, whether the two counts, and the sepa rate penalties sought to be inflicted under each count, mere not substantially for one and the same offence, namely, for that of manufacturing candles without due not ice. The SOLIRITOR•GZNRRAL and Mr. WALTON were heard for the Crown, and contended, that in this case there had been a concealment after the manufacture, which constituted a distinct and separate offence. The latter Learned Gentleman argued that the mete fact of keeping the candles, which had not been charged the excise- duty, was in itself an offence ; and still more that it was an offence in this instance, where the defendant or one of his servants had blown out the candle in the room where the candles were lying. Mr. Jeans, for the defendant, said that that was a most important public question, and that the Crown were here seeking cumulative penalties for one and the same offence. He admitted that the candles had been illegally manufactured, but further than that there was no concealment. If the Crown, therefore, established its rights to the two penalties, the case would go the length of deciding, that wherever there was an illegal manufacture there must be a second offence, that of concealment. The Couar, thinking the question of great import ance, took time to consider their judgment. Just before the rising of the Court the CHIEF BARON read the following order : le COWLS OF 12C1IFQ0111.-311CSAILWAS TIM, NINTH GEO. IF. *Whereas, great expense is often unnecessarily incurred in mak ing up demurrer books, from eating forth those parts of the plead ings which do not apply ; It is therefore ordered, that front and after the end of this Term, when there *hall be a demurrer to part only of the declaration, or other subsequent pleadings, those parts only of the deekration and pleadings to which such demurrer re lates shall be co Vied into the demurrer books ' • and if any other part shall be copied, the Blaster shall not allow the cogs thereof on taxation, either between party and party, or between attorney and client." (Signed by the four Judges). BOARD OF EXCISE, Nov. 29. INTEMAIEDIATIt BIEN. Edward Rosser, a green grocer, residing in Brownlow street, Drury lane, was charged with retailing inter mediate beer on his premises, which are within twenty yards of a licensed victualler's house, for which offence he was gable to a fine of 501. Mr. Mayo, Solicitor to the Board of Excise, said, that by the Act 4th Geo. IV. it was illegal for any retailer to ell 14 intermediate beer" within 20 yards. in a direct line, from any house that had been licensed three m •nt s. It was then proved that the defendant's house wAs only 17 yards from the Sun public house, at the corner of Brownlow-street, and that it had been kept by Mr. Tyrrell, its present proprietor, for the last two years, It was also proiied by Mi. John Wall s a Surveyor of Excise, that he had cautioned the defendant not to retail his beer within so short a distance of Mr. Tyrrell'shouse, but he replied be cors'clered he was doing right, and he would continue to sell beer at his house. The defendant, in his defence, said he hadbeen com pletely misled by his brewer, who had told him to per severe in selling the beer. He assured the Court, that had be been aware it was an offence t s sell beer at his house, be would long before have discontinued it. The Cotrar. under those circumstances, mitigated the penalty from 501. to 10s. Mr. Thomas Hislop, a merchant's clesk,was fined 51. for having endeavoured, secretly, to cdrsy one pound of tea out of the London Doeks. Mr. James Beghie, a brandy merchant, in St. Swithin's lane, was fined 501. for having in his posses sion two gallons Of raw spirits, which were proved to have been privately distilled. A singular circummance lately occurred to the keeper of Sir H. MARTIN, Batt. of Lockingeiouse. As he was shooting, he sprung a covey of Ifirds, amongst which was a woodcock; having a double barrelled gun he killed his bird with one barrel, and with the other the woodcock, which was a very fine one. He consi• den it a curious thing, as he says he never before saw or heard of woodcocks associating with pattridget in a similar siamstre—rkrks Chronicle. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ISOW-ST It BIM. LADY DARITIMORIC itiDllllo.-A fine portly woman, of three and thirty, standhot five feet ten inches, and posseving a remark• ably handsome well proportioned set of features, whit ckeeks that still bure the fading buds of vernal freshness in their uses, but whose battered veil-less velvet bonnet, coat.* cotton apology for a shawl, and pea green silk sleeves ill matched, on a dark dirts gingham gown. formed a sad contrast to what such a woman unto to be, was brought to this office, charged by a stout guardian of the night with attempting to break down the bridge of hi. nasal organ, by dealing thereon a violent blow with one of her clenched fore paws. I lAt the recital of his most piteous tale Charley pathetically laid his hand on the bridge of his injured nose. and assured the Ma gistrate that the blow he had the honour of receiving from her ladyship caused the poor thing to bleed profusely. Here her ladyship treated the Bench with, we must say, we suppose, a eerie laugh. In bee defence, the Amazon said, that she could not under " present circumstances," behave more peaceably—she objected to being sent to prison, and signified her pleasure, that the bench would order her a suite of apartments at the " Beloit." She was sent to the place (tom whence she issued, and the watchman was bound over to prosecute. On leaving the office, Jones was about to place his sacrilegous hands on ber Ladyship's shoultier,from which she shrunk with becoming hauteur. A master guumaker was charged with assaulting a j •urneyman. The complainant stated, that be resided in Birmingham. Test months since, the defendant sent hien a gun to bore-stocked ; it was , repaired and returned to him; the charge was et lls. Wittier bad repeatedly called for his money, but was unable to obtain it. Ile th.n authorised a friend to receive it, who called at least twenty dates with similar success. Witness on Friday paid the defenJant mother visit, who made promises of payment. Complainant, how ever, was determined, and having beard that the defendant was about to go to Ireland, be refused to leave until he got hi. money. Defendant put himself in a great passion, thrust him out of the shop, and in so doing tore hie coat. Defendant, in answer to the charge. said, he considered himself a respectable tradesman, and it was very annoying to be pestered for money as he had been by complainant. Mr. liens—Do you admit you owe him the money ? Defendant —Yes ! Mr. netts—Then. T think, It 'would be more reggaes! le for you to have paid him. Pour working men like him cannot afford to be kept out of their money. Gaoler, lock the defendant up until bal l finds bail. The Magistrate advised the complainant to sue him foe the debt. After being locked up about an hour, the defendant sent for Ford, the gaoler, and said he would pay the debt, if he could, procure his liberation by so doing. His offer. however, came too late; for just at that moment the complainant entered the Office with a Marshals's Officer, and a copy of a writ, the cost of which amounted to After a great deal of haggling. the defendant paid' the debt and costs, and was allowed to depart E complainant not pressing the charge of assault. blocs Auceimis.—A Lady applied to the Magistrates for advice under the following circumstances ; she stated, that she went into an auction room in Leicester-square, where she purchased two gold seals for a guinea: A Gentleman present said she had been taken in. and accompanied her to au adjoiuing jeweller's shop, where she was informed the aryicles were wonhabout 7s. 6d. The auctioneer warranted the stab to be of fine gold, but on examination they turned out to be only cased. Mr. Ilatts, after remarking upon the gross impositions prat. ti.ed at mock auctions, granted a warrant against the auctioneer fur a fraud. QUEEN—SQUARE. Christopher Yates, a private, in the 34 Guards, was charged with a robbery at the house of Mr. Perry, the Brown Bear, at Knights bridge. The prisoner contrived to get up sub.*, unperceived, and steal from a hoz a quantity of apparel. The property was found upon him. lie was committed. James Amen, a drayman, was charged with a brutal assault on a female. Saab Hatch deposed, that she was the wife of a brick layer's labourer; on Tuesday last she was washing some clothes with the defendant's wife, when the defendant entered, in a state of great exasperation, and threw a great quantity of suds over the complainant and his wife. He then upset some clean clothes dry ing at the firer and swore that be would murder both his wife and child. On complainant remonstrating with him, he struck her a violent blow, which blackened her right eye, and then turned bee out of doors. She fainted cm the spot, being in the family way, and had been ever since in a most precarious state of heakb. In his defence, the prisoner told a most inconsistent story of his having quarrelled with his wife, and merely pushed the complainant out of the room—as he did not like to have gossiping interlopers tb destroy his domestic felftity. The ldagistrate said this was a most shameful case.' Here, said his Wunkip, you knock a pregnant woman down, give her • black eye, and then attempt to justify your brutal conduct. I shall fine you ds. and 44. 6d. cost. The defendant threw his hat on the floor in a rage, and exclaimed, " 11l be - dashed if I pay you ! I'll sooner go to Tothiii-faelds!" and be was immediately consigned tow durance vile' WORSHIP-STREET. R. J Guis was brought up, charged with stealing a horse from Mr. Joon, a farmer, at Staines. The prisoner was apprehended several weeks since, and already stood committed for stealing two bullocks and two hones. Mr. Hii vey. an attorney, made 'Wavle that the prisoner stood indicted as the accessory before the fact, fur stealing a horse in 1122, with a person who had since been tried and convicted. The prisoner was then committed to Newgate for trial on three indictments for horse stealing, and also for cattle stealing, lo dlesex i and on an indictment in Essex for horse meeting. THAMES—POLICE. Txa GRAVESEND Satuatmaas.—Saturday the investigation into the late extensive smuggling transaction at Gravesend took place. The Crown exhibited an information against Gorse Pickering alias Curd, upon a charge of being one of the crew of this Naner, of Boston. Mr. Kelly and Mr. Langham appeared for the prisoner's defence. The information was framed under the 6th and 7th of his present Majesty, and charged that the prisoner, on the 27th of October last, was found on board a vessel liable to forfeiture, being then laden with smuggled goods, by which be incurred a penalty of SOO/. and also was rendered, upon proof thereof, liable to serve In his Majesty's Navy for live years. The evidence clearly established that the Nancy was laden with a cargo of contraband goods, and also that the prisoner was one of her crew. Mr. Kelly contended that the prisoner was not liable to the punishment of five years service at sea, when the Act gave another penalty of 'MX Mr. Batman , and Capt. litscuatu. overruled the objection—con victed the prisoner upon the information—and sentenced hint to serve his Majesty in the Navy for five years. The prisoner was sent immediately to the Nate, where be will be put on board the 6r.t ship ordered on a foreign station. UNION HALL A few days ago the firm of Metsrs. Chrystie, bat manufacturers of lkrutoodsey, discovered that immense quantities of their pro perty was stolen. On the discovery every method was used for the purFose of detecting the offenders, and it was at length ascer tained that a man named Bowler, a watehouseman in their service * and wbu had filled the situation for a great number of years, was concerned in the robberies of his employers. Amongst the witnesses who attended to give evidence against him, upon which he was finally committed for trial, was another warehouseman. named John Healy Franks, who had been in the employ of Messrs. Chrystie for twenty years. This individual, whOse evidence against the accused was important, a few days after the committal of Bowler, was himself suspected of having been engaged in rubbing his employer, and on investigation it was also discovered that he was concerned with !lowlier, and had disposed of several hats without accounting to those by w►om he was em ployed, and on Saturday be was also taken into custody, and brought to this OfSce: As there were a great many cases against the prisoner, three out of the number were selected to prove, by which it appeared that it was the prisoner's duty to take charge of, enter, and sell bats he. longing to the firm. The individuals who bad purchased the hats of the prisoner attended, and proved that they had bought the hats ; and several witnesses belonging to the manufactory were exsuained, who identified the bats as the property of their etas• 'doyen, and that the prisoner bad made no entry of the property he bad thus disposed of, or accounted for the money be bad re ceived for tbetn.—.Tha prisoner was committed on the three cases. Sarah Caner, the daughter of a po r widow raiding at S.apleford, in Cambiidgeshire, has been for the la•t five weeks in what is vulgarly called a trance.

At the last sitting of the Royal Academy of Medicire in Paris, a report was made of the death of in indivi dual in the Hospital of Amiens, in the right ventricle of whose heart was found, upon dissection, a small bone tooth-pick.

NOVEL MODE ON Kuzma APPLaa.—During frosty weather, and for some days after a complete thaw, keep the apples in a state of total darkness. In America, apples are frequently fir um as hard as stones; if alter ,this they thaw in the light, they will inevitably rot ; out when the above precaution is adopted, they remit sound and lose little of their original Ravi ur. This may appear strange to the English reader, but be may never. theless depend upon its correctness. A very animated discussion took place a few days ago at a sitting of the Paris Royal Academy of Science, on the fever st Gibraltar. M. Lassis read a note on the subject, in which he complains that the French Govern ment have selected for their commission of medical sus to Gibraltar only the partisans of the contagion and in. fiction doctrine. He contended in his note, that the diseases called yellvts fever, pique, and typhus, do n:t differ in principle fr m the common bilis us and putrid fevers; and that the great disasters which thty cause are to be attributed solely to what are called sanitary precautions. In the opinion of M. Lassis ti,e most effectual mode of getting rid Lf the fever would be to abolish all these precautions, HEBDONIADARY.
