I:.tlr.perssnal differing would be ro harm to geese Rut he would shew why they could not uo so. Mr. Judge 44 not know who those other per sons were, and finding he could not associate these persons in arty other.viay, he brought this action ; and s strong was this fact, that the only proof he could give this day of their identity was their own under- I king. which they gave, th at t h e y wo u ld acknowledge themselves to any civil action, on condition that no criminal proceeding should be taken against them Let it not be, therefore, objected, that Mr. Judge was influenced by pecuniary motives in bringing this aciion, he had no . other means of tilting satisfaction. If the case wanted more of aggravation, they would find it in the place where it occurred—in a man's own house before his menial servants—in that place which all were - accustomed to regard as sacred. Who had dam! to profane that sanctuary? was it some dungeon outcast ? --some unhappy wretch, too stupid to know what was right, or too wreckless to be restithined by law ? No; it hail been profaned by members of the aristo. cra:y of the land ; by men of large possessions; by Co lonel Berkeley—a Magistrate, forsooth—whose duty it might be to c'ose the dungeon-door upon some poor -captiv v less culpable than himself. Whether their homes were to be kept sacred, or left at the mercy of any lu xi us conspirators, their verdict would say, fur a miti gated verdict would go far to do so. lie understood that Colonel Berkeley meant to prove some provoca• tion, that he had been libelled by the plaintiff. He might have been irritated by reflections cast upon him. Bit what excuse could the others. have?—Had they been libelled ? Could they justify the manly part they took in that abominable outrage? If a man is pro voked by reflections ca.t upon him, met the pent% who cast them, in a public place, and there took his revenge, such an occurrence might mi'igate, though it could not justify such con!uct. But surely it could not justify : uch an outrage as this. Had the blood which they sa inhumanly shed, been the life bloud, as it might have b een , of Mr. Judge, they would have stood in a different place for their trial, and if they were placed :tt the bar, oh, what a happy defence would they have Lad that a paragraph had appeared in a newspaper, :Ind that they were irritated by it! The Jury would by their verdict confer a public benefit on the country, and would vindicate the rank in which those parties snoved in society, from any paticipation in such con duct, and teach the world that no man should insult she impartial justice of this tribunal. An admission was here put in, whereby the Solicitors or the defendants, in consideration of the plaintiff con senting not to prosecute criminally, admitted that Lord Sussex Lennox and Robert Can Hammond, were the persons who accompanied Colonel Berkeley to the house of Mr. Judge on the 14th March. Mary Curtis, a washerwoman was called, and proved seeing Colonel Berkeley and two other Gentlemen go into Mr. Judge's apartments, and hearing the blows :tad the cries of Mr. Judge. Eliz4beth laud, a servant of Mrs. Morris, at whose house Mr. Judge lived, admired the three Gentlemen. Heard the blows, and one of the Gentlemen say, "the 'areal—give it him well ; give it; he deserves it, give it, give it." Tried to get into the room, but could slot as it was fastened. Heard some one inside say. " Let him out now ;he has had enough." Mr. Juige then came out of the room ; his face was coveted with blood, a hich was running down his cl.abes. Mr. Judge made for the stairs, and got up two steps, when the tall, thin, Gentlemen, who came to the door with the setter, caught him by the skirts, and forcibly lulled )tins back. Mr. Judge's wig was pulled off by some hand, and Colonel Berkeley then cut him over the head slnd eyes; the lashings of the whip left a blood-mai k on the wall, about a foot long; there was blood in several places on the grcund where he had been standing, several very large spot;; they were together about one coaster of an hour. Mr. Judge then went to his parlotir, from whence he went to his bed-room; the sofa in the parlour was marked in several placer. Mr. .'udge was confined to his bed from the 14th of March ahtii the 30th. A medical person attended him three times a day for the first week. Miss Mary Ann Morris's evidence to the same effect. Mr. Stephen Hempstead Mirley, surgeon at Chelten ham, attended Mr. Judge at seven o'clock on the even ing of the 14th of Match. At that time he leeches ...were applied. The eyelid was swollen, and consider able inflammation about the eye. On the following owning examined the ball of the eye. There was con siderable inflammation and some opacity (cloudiness) .:n the consea (transparent parts of the eye). It was ,what was termed a haziness. There might be some defect of the vision, but the opacity had been some time declining. The lip was cut, and there was a whip 'mat k on the cheek. Mr. Judge expressed great pain, and was rearly fainting. Saw him three times ler a week, and having attened him fur ten days left him in the care of a friend. Mr. Ware, the oculist—Mr. Judge callei on me in London en Monday week last, and I examined his eye; the eye had then recovered from an inflamma tion it had, but these was a speck on the cornea, which :night have been produced by a violent blow. There will be for a long while, I fear, a slight mark on it. James Wharton—l am a saddler in Cheltenham, and recollect two Gentlemen calling on me to purchase a whip. One of them said those I had were not heavy enough. They asked for a jockey-whip. Pott.urs—The one that cuts horses best?—Yes. Witness—l know Captain Hammond was one: I believe Lord Lennox was the other. They looked out the heaviest, and said if they LAO not sot a bsavier they would return and take it ; they did not return. This was the else for the plaintiff. Mr. TAUNTON spoke at length for the defeldants. Mr. C. Pintail's replied. It had been said Colonel Bet keley did this from respect to the feelings of an saged mother. But was there not another whose hopes lie :lad blasted, and whose feelings he must have recol lected. His affairs were the theme or every Journal. 71-. Judge therefore had not hi ought them before the blic. By whom were Miss Foote's letter; published? end who had first appealed to the Preis?—The very roan who now thrunk from its lash. He wolld leave it to the Jury to sa whether they would, under such circumstances, go sCith two others to beat a defence ..-4ess man. Mr. Justice Iluitaotrag Summed up. All three of the defendants jutted in the assault, and therefore a vet (Not must pass against AD. 'Eve assault WAS a very !Jewett one, and committed by three men in a very un rilant way; not like mvn of true courAges. It was, hawever, it ue that Colon-I Bet keley had received much provocation ; but nothing that could justify hira or his companions for their outrageous conduct.. • The: miry were nearly h.ll an ho%r absent, and then returned a verdict for the F:aintiff.D.:miges LEICESTER ASSIZES, AUGUST s. f rr 7 anna s Read. aged 36, was put to the bar, charged under the Coroner', Inquisition, with the wilful murder of her husband, James Read. The prisoner's appear ance bespoke the extreme of terror. She was pale, and, so much agitated, that she could scarcely stand. Mr. GOULBURN slated the facts of the case to the Jury. Thomas Read, the brother of the deceased, deposed that on the 6th of last March, the deceased took his wife to live with him, a'ter she had been living with one Waterfild, and had a child, which she confessed to be his. The prisoner behaved ill to her hatband afterwards.. On the Monday following the 21st April, at 12 o'clock she sent for her husband to go with her to Forton. At six o'clock on the same evening witness was sent for by the prisoner, who told him that her hus band had run away from her mad. She said, in answer to witness asking her what she meant, •' When we got below Grimley, he began to dance and jump about as if he was mad; then he damned and swore, and fell on the grass, and tore it up with his hands; and after wards jumped up and ran as hard as he could to Deb dale.wharf. I went on the bridge to look after him."-- Witness said, ig Hannah, I fear you have pushed my poor brother into the navigation, and have drowned him. She cried our, 4, Good LORD, master, we were never within a close's breadth of the navigation." Wit ness then gave her into the custody of a constable, and employed persons to assist him in look;ng for his bro ther's body. On the following morning, as he was dragging the canal, he pulled up his brother's corpse from a bridge near Forton. She said afterwards that he tumbled into the canal, about 20 yards from the bridge, and that she held out his hat to try to save him. Some witnesses deposed to threats-uttered by the pri soner, that she would do for her husband, and others to their having been seen near the lock on the day the latter was drowned. The prisoner, in her defence, protested that she was wholly innocent of the charge made against her, and described her husband's conduct to have been frantic and inexplicable, and that he had left her suddenly and fallen into the river. . The JUDGE summed up to the Jury, commencing upon the circumstantial nature of the evidence, and re commending them to examine it with the most scru pulous attention, giving the ptisoner the benefit of their doubts, if any should arise, respecting her guilt. Alm deliberating a quarter f an hour, they pronounced a ver dict of Gorey. The prisoner, who had anxiously watched the looks of the .Jury during their consultation, fell into the arms of the gaoler, and fainted when she heard the verdict. She was recovered and placed again at the bar. The Judge prOceeded to pass sentence of death upon her, which she interrupted frequently by exclaiming, " For Goo's sake forgive me l I hope your Lordship won't hang me. Spare me for the sake of my six poor chil. dren r The prisoner was ordered for execution on Friday next. After this his Lordship said, " Prisoner, are you with child?" " I don't know." " Have you anything to say why execution should be stayed r " I believe lam with child. His Lordship ordered a Jury of matrons, but there being a mid suite with the' prisoner, who stated that she was not quick with child, the Judge ordered her fur execution. COMMISSION OF LUNACY. xATisa 07 Tit a Ray. ID WA :ID FRANZ (A &MOM LUNATIC). • 6, - FIFTH DAY_ _ __. The iiillieidisigl Commenced this rooming at itroIIFAX-fast ten. Ur ,s was crowded to mess. Mr. Commissioner Virstramtsu addressed Mr. Brougham, and said, " Do I understand that you appear as Counsel for Mr. Freak against the Commission?" Mr. BROUGHAM said, he appeared here for the Gen tleman, who had truly been said to be an object of pity. He was the subject of inquiry as to his sanity, and that in the most public way. :Fp a Gentleman in a sane state this was the most painful, and in that sense he called him unfortunate. To undergo a rigorous scrutiny, to have brought forth every thoughtless expression or even look—to undergb even a personal examination, in which even his look and gestures were scrutinized, not as a man, but as a beast, was indeed to be truly unfor tunate. He trusted, however, confidently, thin - when things were looked into, they would rather excite disgust than an opinion of his insanity ; and that it would be found, that although a Clergyman might act improperly, it did not follow that be must be necessa rily of unsound mind.. He was not, he said, altogether opposed to his Learned Friend, who so ably opened the case. If Mr. F. was of unsound mind, it became his interest that he should be protected by the Great Seal and if lie was found to be so, it became his (Mr. Brougham's) duty to join with his Learned Friend. With that view he had courted the fullest investigation. When the enquiry wai gone into, and when Dr. Wright spoke to the delusions of a sick brain in 1816 and 1817, if these delusions had continued, he would have at once called upon them to find him of unsound mind; but they did net continue, there mas no such thing in 1822. And finding he was not so, it was now his duty to enter more at large upon the case. A man might be guilty of impropriety; and the present Gentleman might have acted with immorality, and yet his mind remain the seat ot' reason. He might stray from the path of virtue ; he might be immodest ; but to say that a man was insane, bec .use he had committed repeated acts of wickedness, was a most dangerous doctrine. To be, according to the old law, non compos mentis, it was not enough that a man was negligent, careless, or of a weak jugdment. He admitted Mr. F. managed his affairs very badly, yet that was not enough. Suppose a person of a very hard heart, who delighted in scenes of cruelty, that he had almost an insane love of cruel ights—that he was fond of seeing executions, bull fights, lion fights—that he could . loak• calmly at his friends whin dead—that he could sport over their graves in a way that would barrow up the souls of some, he would be a monster, but could not be called insane. lie w uld bat suppose a case • a man, forinstance, who could quietly sit by, without ity, and hear his father's conduct described as iromini mg, profligate, and mon strous, even charged with madness—hear him described as a man who had lost every worthy attribute, degraded to the level with the brute beast, without reason, de scribed as a brazen profligate without the slightest shame—should he liter all this emblaz ned forth and sit down, ail ea he could vtigk out and in silence wail over it; he might go farthkhould that son still sit by and hear his .mother's chastity impeached—hear her actually called A hear her whoresioros and adul teries repeated, and enshellislied by tile fine pencil' of a Lear ne.l Counsel--bear his father &Scribed av one sunk ' in madness and fnisfot tune, and his mother sunk in vice and idarni ansi 14 and hear all this, without retiting to some posamt spot, where he might pray to Wave ob , hie rime from memory his father's misfortunes and his mother's shame. Why tucli,a man, he should say, was ' not constituted as we are—he may be a brute—be may be hard-hearted, but he could not call upon them to pronounce him mad. With respect to what had been said of the conduct of Mr: Frank to Mri. Frank after the separation, he could say that a feverish anxiety to protect from suspicion the virtue of a wife, was a feeling common to all—to suspect would be painful. —He might, after separation, say to him elf, well, the suspicion I had, I'll get over ; I'll take you back again. This might not be sound discretion, but it did not con stitute insanity. He would now take the bull by the horns. He timid mention a case that had occurred, where a man found his wife in adultery, and yet said, though she might be an adulteress, she should have a let ter of licence from him, and he from her. This would not be such an act as any of them, the Jury would be guilty of, but it was not such an act as the law would notice, so as to take away the management of a man's own af fairs. He would now suppose Mrs. Frank, after the reconciliation with her husband, saying to him, " all that you have beard against me is the result of a vile conspiracy —all the time that you have been away, your sisters have been robbing you, and plotting my disho nour—l will prove to you that Mr. Bellamy opened your closets, that he took one box away belonging to you, and that Mrs. Bellamy took away another—l will prove to you that ;hey were living upon your fi r tune, and were trying to ruin me. Ido not ask of you to take my word f, r all this—l will produce io you the persons in whose presence this took place."— A man fell of affection—fond of the woman, and even amorouaof her,would f.elbis indignation roused against thoskwho treated then) so. That would not be an un natural Consequence of his feelings. The Jury would look at the persons promoting this measure, in which there had been a great deal of cookery. His Learned Friend had kept back the insanity at Norcout, and other places ; his friend was instructed, he knew what passed at Shelton ; and though Mr. Frank was under a delu sion about being martied, being made a Bishop, and other things, not one syllable of this was opened by Mr. Bellamy. He knew its import; he was a lawyer, and because he knew it, he instructed not his friend of this decided insanity in 1816. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded in his comments on the-evidence, and having shortly alluded to that of Captain Maiawaring and the other witnesses, and particularly to one who had been offered a bribe, he stated that he should call witnesses which the other side had declined calling. He should call Malcolm; he should call a servant, who , knew more than any of them ; he should call Doc tor Willis,- and others. Malcolm could have told them much ; but they might say, al Malcolm is in league with Doctor Dickenson, or with Mrs. Frank." What was that to him? They had called waiters, landlords, and chambermaids, from Norwich, W.. mouth, and Shelton, but not Malcolm. No! there was such a thing as cross-ex iminatioo, and then it might have popped out that he - was sent down by Bellamy. He did not mean to impugn the evidence of any of the high Medical Gentlemen who had given their testi mony. He had known them long, and believed them to be men of the highest hoaour. But tba Jury were bound to protect his estate crily against unsoundoeis of mind. He recollected examining Dr. Monroe—not the preser'tGentleman of that name, who, having de scribed some acts of a person said to be insane, he ' (Mr. B.) said to him " but does not every third person you meet in the streets, do the same thing ?" Thewit nen ansvrered dim he thought they winsWbOtill Wier in a sfate of cOnllnement—(tairgitter);-:-Theth'Getitie. men had a tendency to insanity—it was a son of bias they had. Now as to the treatment that be bad met with, Mrs. Frank and Dr. Dickenson treated him as if of sane mind. Let them recollect how the bed-rooms were s;ta such He slept whets ill in another part of the house. Mrs. Frank and Dickenson slept in a part of the house cut off from him. His so sleeping when unwell was not We-con duct of a man who was stated to be as a stock or a stone. And unless it was brought home to him that he knew of improprieties existing between his wife and Mr. Dickenson, those improprieties could not make against him. From one of the letters it appears she cunningly attempted to bind him. Lord Hard wicke said, though a Jury should find any one that is incapable of ma naging his effects, still such finding is not enough— they must find him of unsound mind. He said that Mr. Frank was weak of mind; he also particularly al luded to Dr. Wright's evidence, who talked of inca pacity, of defective Wrightgment, but that was not un soundness ; and Dr. W added, that he would re cover, and the period he bad spoken to was in the years 1816.17. Dr. Monroe talked technically of delusion. Delusion ! yes, the delusion was his hared to Bellamy, which had existed since 1822. Would any of the Jury think that man a friend, who had been trying to snake him insane ever since that period ? The Chancellor sent the case here. He could not have the crow-examination of the witnesses. He could not cross-examine Roebuck. His sending it here was no argument of insanity. The acts of 1816 had taken place, but the Chancellor thought there was then no ground for inquiry. If they were not grounds for inquiry in 1822, they were not in 1825. The high characters that he should call were all of opi nion that he was not insane; they may be of opinion that he is of weak wind- .that there is incapacity ; but unless they went a step further, and chewed that that incapacity was the effect of unsoundness, it would not be enough. Their names were as high as those of any of the Gentlemen who had been called, and they one and all would say, that be was not of unsound mind. He had named Dr. Burrows; he had named Mr. Has. lam, Dr. Leach, Dr. Willis, who had made an affidavit, and whom he expected that morning; after the opinion of. these high characters, would they call this Gentle man a lunatic ? If they did, it would be not only taking from him the management of his affairs, but it would be tying him up as a prisoner. They must be satisfied that he was of unsound mind, or they would violate every principle of justice and law to which their oaths bo'ind theta.—The Honourable and Learned Gentleman then sat down after speaking for upwards of two hours. The following witnesses were then called ; The Rev. Wm. Addington Norton examined by Mr. SIPSNCK lam Mr. Frank's Curate, and reside at Alder ton, in Suffolk ; I know Mr. Bellamy personally, and redetnher him coming to my house in the course of the year 1821, towards the termiaation of the year; Mr. Bellamy, as the agent of Mr. Frank, was holding the annual audit.

Was sect for on the morning of the 29th of November, 1821. at Carnpsall ; saw Mrs.. Beilamy's maid r she told him. to • pick three locks; Mrs. 13. was living there alone.

Mr. K sent for him that evening • be saw nothing done with the papers, nor did he tell Mr. Let that he saw any thing done with them. When he went to Mr. F. he Asked him by whose orders he ,(Mr. E 1) picked the lock? he told him the fo itman desired him to do so by Mrs. B.'s orders. On the 6th of December, witness looked in the drawers; the entrance door of the room was sealed up; Mr. Fisher broke the seal, and they both went in ; 'the papers were then all g ine, and the drawers were empty ; saw portmanteaus and trunks in the room at the time he picked the locks ; Mrs. Bel lamy's maid was present when he picked the locks ; those trunks and portmanteaus were gone on the 6th at De c:mber, as were also most of the papers; knows Roebuck, and Roebuck offered him some gold buttons for sale; knows of some wine being thrown away; most part of it was good for nnthing ; he. believes all of it was so. Roebuck has at different times given away wine in the cellar to several people. Mr. F. was angry at his having picked the locks, but he said afterwarus it was right.

Mr. 131tOtinniat then put in a letter from Mr. F. to his sister, dated the sth of Nov. 1817, which was tead by Mr. Hales, and betrayed the most proper feeling as to his domestic affairs.

The celebrity of the Medical Gentleman who had been examined, was an additional stimulus to him to be the more rigid in his observations ; had spoken to him about Mrs. F. as well as about the acts of profligacy at Cam bridge. He replied that he had been drinking brandy and water, and was sorry for Lis conduct . then ; he knew that. which was right, though he did not always follow it ; one portion of his enqu'ry was, as to his former illness, and he teemed deeply sensible of his then calamity, and drew a comparison between his state at that time, and upon his subsequent recovery.
