LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE.CIIANCP.I.I.Ott'S COURT, JOLT 28. GREEN V. GREEN. Mr. COOPER moved chat three persons. named Green, defendants in this trial, shc.uld be committed to the cus tody of the War&ii of the Fleet Poison, for contemp', id not delivering up the possession of a certain house, in obedience to an order of the Ging. It Was proved tnat the order had been served .upon Clem t•eparatel v, and an order for astir commitment was accordingly directed to issue. • At a subsequent period of the day, Mr. Conine stated that be bad inquired of the parties whether they were , of age? and round that one .was an infant, being only fifteen.vears old; he, therefore, thought it tight to apprise his Honour of the tart. The Learned Counsel then cited two cases. one in Tuttel, 108, and another in 4 Maddock'. Repots. 128. in which infants had been committed for contempt. Mr. WAKEFIELD (amicsss curice) stated that this pro ceeding was altogether irregulat. The Court had D . right, where the parties sought to be committed weir not in the suit, as in this case, to commit them for not obeying an order of the Court. The Sheriff was the proper officer to take possession of the premises, and, ii necessary, by force. The VICE CHANCELLOR, seeing that the parties were in Court, examined them as to whether they wete will ing to give up possession, and if not, why they refusal? It .ipp9red that these young men bad imagined they had some interest in the house, and acting tinder that idea they took up their residence, and although re peatedly warned that their resistance to the order of the Court was useless, persisted in keeping possession. It was clearly proved they had no right or interest Whatever to or in the subject matter in dispute. Two of the brothers (one of them the infant) agreed to give up possession, and the one of them of age un dri took to pay his costs of the contempt, and the mo tbli as against them was dismissed ; but the other, who had p Issession of the key of the house, having refused to, deliver it up, His HONOUR ordeted him to be forthwith committed,, and he was taken away in custody of the Serjeant atArms. I READING, JiTtm 28. Satur.lay the Sessions for this Borough were held in.the Town Hall, before the Recorder, when James Alexander, for stealing some linen, &c. from the garden of Hetherington, was sentenced to be transported for life. He had not returned to England from Botany Bay above a month when he committed the above robbery. Maria e lien and Ann Stokes, two incorrigible young girls, for breaking into a linuse in Spring Gardens, and stealing wearing apparel, the property of Wil liams, •• ere sentenced to be transported for seven years. William Shrewsbury, [or stealing a copper tea-kettle from the shop of Mt. Metcalfe, in Broad-meet, on the 2d of .May last, to be imprisoned fourteen days. Them were four appeals agiinst convictions for hawking tea, the question in which turned on this sim ple fact—whether a licensed hawker having an en tered room, might carry his tea round with him, and sell it? or whether he must go round first and solicit orders, and afterwards deliver the tea? In tl ree cases, whce the parties had an entered room in. Reading, the convictions were quashed for want of sufficient evidence to prove that the tea was car ried round at the time the sale was effected. In Vie fourth cause, the party informed against had not entered room in Reading, but one in Hungetford, which is at a distance of taenty-six miles front Reading. The. question here raised was, whether tl.e vender had a right to bring the tea with him to sell, or must he send to Hungetford for every quarter of a pound as he received an order for it. The Learned Recorder observed, that the Act under which this in fortitation was brought was a highly penal giant-, and undoubtedly a slifference of opinion on questions 01 this soft exited. Mr. Corm had put an interpretation u 'On the Act, which allowed true right of the hawker I')' tea as he would any other article: this would be fatal to the case; but the Cow/ n °old recommend a cotist . to finally decide the question. By the 27th clause of the Act, they had the power to state the facts sye ci4tly, for the determination of the Court of King's Brinch. The Court had taken a very full note of this calk and therefore, without giving an opinion, would kite the ultimate decision to the Judges of the King's Bench.—The ease was accordingly referred. The informer alludea to above (who is no less a per sonage' than a beadle of the parish of St. Lawrenci ) nas been dismissed by the overseers.— needing Mercury. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCUIT—STAFFORD. JOLT ‘2.15. CPu l Suss—Belure 51r. Justice GASSLII. aiming V. SHILLLEY AND OTHF.ItS. Mr. RICHARDS opened the pleadings in this cause, and stated that it was an action brought by the plain tiff to tecover the sum of 151. 9i. which Vie defendant had, teceived to and fir the use of the plaintiff. Mr.TAtINTON said, that the defendants in this cause ate theStewerds of the Yoxall Friendly Benefit Society, and the plaintiff is a respectable surgeon and apo:he caryv who had been appointed die medical attendant of the Society at its. commencement in 1821, and con. tinned to afford his professional assistance in that ea picky to its members down to the month of Atigust, 1820. In that month he was dismissed from his situa. tion by the Committee who managed the affairs of the Society; but notwithstausling that dismissal. he had still continued giving advice to lie members down even to the present period. The Society consisted• of one hundred and three members, and by its rules they were behind to pay their medical adviser three shillings call per.annum for his attendance , upon them and their families.during that time. The rule of the Society was, that the, members should each pay the apothecary three shillings; the custom was to pay the money to the s'tewar'ds, who handed it over to the. plaintiff. In that capacity they had received the money which the plaintiff now claimed, and to recover which be had been com pelled to bring the present action. In the month of August 1826, it appeared that the defendants, without consult ing the memberi of the Society, took upon themselves to dismiss the plai .tiff. The only motive which could be assigned for this act was, that be had offended one of the members of the Committee. Whatever might. Now. ever..have been the motive, it was plain, by a reference to the rations Acts of Parliament for regulating Benefit Societies, that this proceeding of the defendants was altogether irregular. By the sqth of Geo. HI. chap. IZ. it was. expressly declared, that when a Standing Catmint* was appointed,. their powers should be de; dared in the general rules. of the Society, and being so marked and defined. it wits enactcd.ezpressix,. that pci Committee should have a gveater power than that which was conferred by those rules.. Referring, then, :w.the n ? lnt of ibis Society, it would be found in the 16th. the cagy pee which had reference to the present case, it ap peared. thfLthe Committee had these powers, in the first place, le settle ni; grievances complained of by the members, subject to an appeal to two Magistrates.— Secondly, to lend mit the money of the Society at inter vals ; and, lastly, to appoint a new Committee, and three Steivards every year. The Jury Would perceive there was no power given by thost rulesto dismiss any of the officers of the Society; and so much was the dismissal of the plaintiff cor.trary to the inclination of the general body, hat 75 ut of 103 signed in his favour; and at a Lie tieral Meeting, called to take the subject of Iris di,- missal into consideration, out of 67 Members' who at tended, 53 voted for the plaintiff, three voted against him, and eleven declined voting at all. With this de clared opinion of the Members in his favour, the plain tiff felt himself entitled to make the present demand upon the defendants; and whin he (Mr. Taunton) had called witnesses to substantiate his case, he felt confi dent of a verdict in his favour. ' Mr. Isaac Brabbins, one t f the Stewards, said that the books of the Society were kept in the club-room; but' he had not brought them, although he had Joeen sub t. ce tared to do so. He believed they wile in tire hands of Mr. Jackson, another of the Stewards, and in the Court, but he declined producing them. Mr. Justice GASELEE here interposed, and told the witness he must choose either to produce the books or go to prison. The witness then consented to produce the books, and vaiinns extracts were given in evidence to support the plaintiff', case. J.ihn Tasw ell being called to prove the appointment of the plaintiff in 1821, said there were seventy mem bers present when he proposed him. In answer to a question from Mr. Sergeant RusseLL, he admitted that his motion fur the plaintiff's appoint ment was not seconded, and that it was nil a written appointment. Mr. Justice GASaLEa said, that the fact of the dis missal was a proof of the validity of the original ap pointment. The attendance of the plaintiff upon the members of the Society and their families being proved, MrJanvis and Mr. Sergeant RussaLL took an objection to the form of the action, upon the ground that it ought to have been brought against the trustees who held the funds of the Society, and not against the Stewards. This objection being overruled, Mr. Jan vis proceeded to address the Jury for the de fendants, and contended they had not exceeded their authority; and that the plaintiff having neglected the duties of his office, was no longer entitled to the profits of the situation. Evidence was then called to support this statement. Mr. TAUNTON having replied, Mr. Justice GASELEZ left two points to the Jury— first, whether the defendants had power, under their Rules, to dismiss the plaintiff; and nest, whether the roes had been fairly taken upon the ballot? The Jett', through their Foreman, said they thought they ought to find for the plaintiff, as they considered him a very injured man— Mr. Justice GAMER refused to take the verdict in that shape,• and requested their attention to the two points he had already laid before them. The Jury then returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, 151.95. DYCK V. SIRDETIELD. This was an action to recover 261. the pike of a gig sold by the plaintiff to the defendant. The plaintiff is a Gentleman travelling for a mercantile home in Lon don, and having no further occasion for his gig, left it at Bristol to be disposed of, fixing the price at 261. Finding, on his arrival at Stafford, that the defendant, an innkeeper in that town. was in want of a gig, he sold 'it to him for that sum. The gig being delivered to the defendant, he disliked the appearance of it, and wrote to the plaintiff to say se. The plaintiff replied, that its appearance was as near the description he had given of it as it well could be, and he would expect the 261. the moment he arriveii in Stafford. The inkeeper of Bristol, with whom the giR had been left, proved it to be worth, in his opinion, tt.e 261. which had been demanded for it. _ _ For the defendant, a coachmaker, with whom the gig had been deposited, and the defendant's ostler, stated the gig to be in very bad condition, and not worth more than 151. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 201. POLICE IN fELLIGENCE. _ ~. GUILDHALL. A decent elderly man, named John Kean, was charged before Alderman FAREIROTHIR, yesterday, with stealing a quantity of skins, and with uttering a forged bill of exchange for 514. Mr. Howell Jones, a leather dresser, deposed. that AM the 24th inst. the prisoner was introduced, by a neighbour, is a cus tomer. The prisoner said he wanted 141 dozen kid and a quan tity of other skins fur his brother, who carried on an exten sive business in the country, and would be a good ve.tonter. lie read over the items of his order, and said. that upon the goods beitz sent to the neighbour thtte would be the money, and witness accordingly baed a ready money price upon the goods (leaving a profit of only 21 per cent). The go ads were sent on the following morning (Friday) to the prisoner's warehouse, and the porter was ordered not to leave them without the money. He afterwards met the porter and the prisoner together in Cheap. side, and found the goods had been lett without payment ; but the prisoner. after stating that he had only a single sovereign in cash in his pocket, said he bad a bill for 301. whith he would leave in his hands till ten or eleven o'clock the next morning, when he would bring him the money. The witness continued—The bill, which was drawn by Samuel Knight on " Thomas Webb, goldsmith and jeweller, Silver -street, Stisigewater-square, London," was accepted by Thomas Webb, and made payable at " Jones, Loyd, apd Co. Bankers, London." He bad inquired at Silver-street, and other houses thereabout, and could not learn that such a person was living, or bad lived there. He had also inquired at the banking house, where he was told the parties were not known. The value of the goods delivered to the prisoner was ISL 28.—Tbe Alderman remanded the prisoner. BU W--STRRET. Yesterday a young man named Robert .1519C5, and a female named Georgina Baxter ' were charged, the former with robbing his late employer, Mr. Cook, a pawnbroker, of Suffolk-street, *tough ; and the latter with receiving some of the stolen property. It ap peared that the male prisoner 'was shopman to Mr. Cook, but ab sconded on the 19th July, and suspicion basing in conseqpence been excited, a search took place, and a considerable quantity of property, among which a gold watch, chain, and seals, which had been pledged with Mr. Cook, were discovered to have been stolen. The assistance of an officer baying been obtained, the prisoner was traced to a house in Craven-buildings, Drury-lane, where he co habited with the female prisoner. She was questioned respecting the property which the prisoner had stolen, and after much hesita tion, she gave up a duplicate of the before-mentioned watch, which it was proved she had pledged at a pawnbroker's in the Strand.— When the of went to the house on Sunday afternoon, 'she said Jones was not hi the house; the officer, however, insisted upon searching the premises, and he found Jones concealed in a cellar. f• the house were found one hundred and thirteen doplicates of property belonging to Mr. Cook, and which Jones had pledged.-- The prisorterserere remands till Thursday. lIATTON-GARDEN. fiernsiel Simpson was charged with stealing a cow, the property of John Hartwell, from Hornsey Wood.

Yesterday a genteel.looking young man was charged before Mr. HOSICIN4 and Lord Morivroao, with fraud, lie had obtained goods sif several tradesmen under a representation that .his name was Cinrk—that be was in partnership with smiths,. named Star—that they were surgeons in Upper 13erkeley.street—anti the goods would be paid for at the time when they were delivered. The tradesmen, however, found themselves disappointed, if not deceived ; and a summons was granted to bring Meisrs. , Clark aid Star before the • Magistrates. The defendant stated that his partner, Star, was out of tow. After hearing the evidence of several prisons from whom goods had been obtained, Mr. 110 SKINS said he should prevent the defen dant from being at large until be gave bail, himself in 2004 and two suffitient sureties in 1001. each, and bei WAS placed in confine ment.—A Gentleman told the Magistrates there were other cam. plainants, who were prevented being present that by other engage ments; and Mr..Hosatws said the defendant should ise.brought up again for further examination. Rettbin Martin, the pugilist, was charged vitt% assaulting a baker, who lives in Ton enhani.court-road, and was held to bail to answer the charge and keep the peace. The assault was committed on Sunday night, in a public-house, Derwick.strees, of which Reuben Martin is landlord ; and Mr. itawcinsox said it surprised him how every prize-fighter in the town could .keep a public.bouse, and many honest and quiet men could not get telicense. QUEEN—SQUARE. Yesterday, two diminutive personages, of sanctified appearance, who gave their names William Cbtlerill and Thomas .Miler, were brought before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. Maamorr, charged with disorderly conduct, in being found preaching in the open air. John Weak, an officer, deposed. that a little before I I o'clock on Sunday morning last, as he was passing along New•street, Westminster, his attention was attracted by art immense mob of persons congregated to one spot. and on going up to ascertain the case, he observed the defendant Cotterill, who was mounted opt n a piece of rising ground. preaching to the multitude, apparently with groat fervour and seal. , The other defendant (Alder), who appeared to officiate as clerk, was standing in front of him, and frequently ejaculated " Amen," accompanied at intervals with a heavy groan. Witness espoitulated with , them, and desired they would desist, as such conduct was contrary to law; but - they turned a deaf ear to his admonitions, saying the Loan had sent them into the vineyard, and preach they would in spite of opposi tion. Witness then interierred, and, assisted by Woodbury, took them both into custody. The defendants were asked by the Magistrate what they had to say for themselves? whereupon Cotterill, who has a snub nose, and mouth awfully large, and wears Ms hair streaming over Isi; forehead like a weeping willow, spoke go the following erect " The inhabitants of Westminster being a most wicked and sinful race, I was inspired by the spirit of Goo to preach the Gospel among them, and to admonish the ungodly to flee from the wrath to come. The Scripture enjoins that we should preach the Gospel to all men ; and if this be a crime, why then I certainly am guilty. The other defendant followed in the same 'train, but was cut short by the Magistrate, who told him that he could dispense with his sermonizing, and that they mast both find security for their good behaviour. Cotterill—Find security, indeed ! why that would be acknow ledging that I have done wrong, which I don't at all feel disposed to do—it Is contrary to our doctrine. Mr. MAamorr—Then you will be locked up. I shall not re. lease you without security. Here a tall nteagre.looking young man addressed the bench on behalf of the defendants, whom he described as harmless inoffen sive men. who preached the Gospel purely for the love of souls. Mr. Illanatose—Are you a Counsellor, Sir? Young man— %., a Counsellor ! Con lot bid ! T am, I confess, a humble follower and admirer of the defendants. Mr. Ma Retort—Then you bad better be silent. The defendants, not being prepared wide the necessary hail, were conveyed to the lock-up•room, where they immediately com menced pultu.singing in rather a dismal key. • I. A M BETEL-STREET. - Jaws Jackson was brought tip on the following charge : John Thompson a seafaring man stated, that on the night of Tuesday he was brought to Whitechapel watch•house in a state of intoxication, and when discharged on the tollowing morning, he found that his jacket. in the pockets of which was three pounds in cash, was gone, and an old black coat left in its plice. • An offwer said, :hat when he apprehended the prisoner on Friday evening he had on the jacket he oow produced, and on searching him he found also some ship's paper, which, with the jacket, was identified by Thompson as his property. Committed for three months to the House of Correction. TOW N— 11 A L L. Daniel Collins and Daniel Col:ins, two first cousins, were charged with assaulting their landlady, Elizabeth Parrott. The com plainant. it appears, is a Protestant, and the defendants. in the spirit of religious animosity. not only continually sought occasion to raise a quarrel upon the subject, but refused paying her for the rent. and on beillg 44ketl for it on Saturday night, knocked her down stairs. saying Frock the Protestant's bead off." They were lacked up in default of bail. UNION TIALL._ Jane .ItPherson, Junes, Catherine Donoghue, Alex. Johnson, and Amid. Wits, were charged with robbing a foreigner. The circumstances may be thus very shortly detailed: On Friday even ing the proiecutor met Donoghue in Fleet -street, and accompanied her hoMe. Finding that he bad plenty of money, he was invited to a neighbouring public-holise, and then again requested'to return to the hote.e where she lived. When there the ecund time be was attended by all tile party, who succeeded in plundering him of between I J. and 171. in sliest., which he had round his waist in a girdle. In addition to this, two watches were stolen from his goer son.—All were fully committed for trial ' The Inquest which sat at Blackburn last week on the body of Ann Morris, the young woman drowned in the canal n• ar that place, did not terminate until seven o'clock on Friday evening, when the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against James Hughes, the soldier, who was committed by the Coroner to Lancas ter Castle, to take his trial for the offence. As soon as the verdict was made known to some of the comrades of the prisoner, a great number of whom were assem• bled in the streets near the Inquest-room, a strong feeling of irritation was produced amongst them.— Having a full persuasion of the. man's innocence, they complained loudly of the verdict, and threatened to rescue the prisoner from the constables who-had him in custody. Their irritation was increased by the taunts of some of the people, and several battles and scuffles took place during the evening. The soldiers were at length, with some difficuky, sent to their bar racks by the officers, and the prisoner was immediately sent out of town by a back way in a chaise towards Lancaster. On the followinE evening, owing, we believe. , to some insulting expressions addressed to one's& the soldiers, the angry feelings which 'had been with d.ffi-' culty subdued on the , preceding day, burst firth with the utmost fury, A number of soldiers, with drawn bayonets in their hands, ran about the streets, threaten ing and abusing everyone they met, and beating and . wounding 'a bomber of personi,• one dr two of them. rather severely. This outrageous conduct, of course e collected a large snob, and a general row commenced in the new square. which; in alt probability, woultfltave been attended with fatal consequencei, had not th e ' Officers turned out the guard and repaired to the spilt when, with some difficulty, 'they succeeded in quelling theilsetorganee, and sending, chi soldiers to ftbelx bar ratts.6.6lllnnuiaters Garanikirt, • t.v.
