It was fubmittcd on the part of the claimants, that although the bills of lading and invoices Rated the deftinanon to be.the port of Dieppe, yet there were inftruetions given to the mailer to inquire of the Britifh cruiaers whether Havre was in Rate of blockade ? The Court raid, =fleeting all the circumflanees together, and looking at the conebta of the parties, it was clearly of opinion that there was a fraudu lent intention from beginning to end, and therefore condemned both (hip and cargo. EAGLCI - Perfevell molten—This was alto a cafe of breach of blockade, but the Court not being fatisfied with the evidence produced, ordered further proof. CLERKENWELL SESSIONS, OCTOBER 27. BEFORE WILLIAMMAINWARING, ESOL Henry Dutton, Wit Fenn, and others, were ih diaed for wickedly confpiring to rail'e the price of fith, and with that view coming to London within a thort distance of the Fills Market, with a fhip load of eels, and difpofing of a part of the fame, and carrying the remainder to fea, againti the form of the statute. This is an offence, founded on an old aft of Par liament, which fubjefts a (hip to forfeiture if the Mailer brings a cargo to London, and, in order to enhance the price, makes only a partial fale. . . . - The principal evidence to fupport the profecu• tion was Butterfield, the informer. Mr. ALLEY, on the part of the profecution, Rated, that the offence kith which the Defendants were charged, was one of a very ferious nature, and for which, if it could be brought home to them, they defervedthc utmoh punithmcnt which the law could inert& It was no lefs an offence than that of combining'to prevent the public from being fupplied with the necefftties of life, in defiance of a pofitive Aft of Parliament : and that at a time when the labouring and induffrious poor wt:e hardly able, by the utmoil exertion of .r in duftry, to fupply themfelves with the cc•:umone(l food : there was, he Paid, an Aft of l'arliament, which provided, that all flax brow-I.: to the Lon don market, should be fold in • '4. market, and not fent away again unfold. was intlntaed t.. (late, that the two Defendar...s had, on a certain day, caufed a Dutch veffel laden with eels, to he fent away from Billingf, ate, and that in conic quence of their diratior. the veffel proceeded to lea again. He was a- - are of the difficulties at tending this profecutior., on account of the objet• tion that might be made to the witneffese hut al though they were common informers, he infitled they were not only entitled to credit, but that they were ufeful people ; becaufe without them many falutary laws could not be carried into effeft. Mr. Alley then called Butterfield. Mr. Serjeant BEST laid, that before this witnefs was examined, he hoped he Ihould be able to (hew, that he was wholly unworthy of credit, and that in point of law, his evidence could not be admit ted. The learned Serjeant then produced a Re cord, and other evidence, by which it appeared that feveral years ago, this Butterfield had been tried at Lewes for receiving money under falfe . pretences, found guilty, and fentenced to three years confinement in the houfe of correftion.— This convietion he thought was fufficient in point of law, to render his evidence inadmillihle ever after. The Record of the Indilment wss produced, proved, and read. It was an indiament in the comity of Suifex, againit the defendant, by the name of Hedgely, alias Hedley, alias Butterfield, alias Jones, for falfely pretending to a petfon of the name of Holden, that he was concerned as Attorney, or Clerk to the Attorney, carrying on a penal aaion againft him for an infringement of the Turnpike Al, and by fuch falfe pretence ob taining from him 41. to compound it. The record then hated the conviaiou and judgment. The Keeper of the Houle of Corration at Lewes proved that the wieners had been imprifoned from July to January, at which time he was removed from his office, and that he afterwards faw the witnefs at large. He was pc-Waive the perfon in the box was the fame man. - Mr. Atter contended that this charge was not a fpecies of the cristenfay at common l.tw, on the convielion of which the haute of Henry VIII. ren dered the party an incompetent w itners. Mr. Serjeant BEST argued the contrary. Mr. MAINWARING decided that the at of ob taining money by a lie, for which the party was afterwards conviaed and punifhed, did not dcflroy his admitlibflity as a witnefs, but only went to im peach the credibility of his tellimony. The witnefs then dcpofed that he was a common informer, and had particularly direacd his atten tion to the detcaion of offences againft the Fills 'Mt. The Defendant Dutton was a broker, and the Defendant Fenn a Mb falefman. He then pro ceeded to Rate that the fhip in which they were interefted came to Billingfgate with a cargo of eels, part of which only were difpofed of, and the ref were carried down the River, and thence to fea ; in proof of this, he hated that he bailed her as the patted Gravefend, and enquired what the had got on board? and was anfwered by one of the tailors, Only a parcel of eels." Mr. MAINWARING was of opinion, that the mere d2claration of a tailor, in reply to fuch a quellion, "was not fußicient evidenee on Which to Conviet fh m Liter of the veffel; confequently the prolecut,on was Ropt, and the Defendants acquitted. An attempt had been previoufly made, on the - Part of the Profecutor, to put off the trial, on ac count of the abfence of material witneffes; but the affidavit not being fufficiendy explicit, the appli cation was refufed. Asset, crs.—A coachman was tried for affault ting two Officers belonging to an Eaft Indiaman. It appeared that the Defendant had been tent for to I3lackwall, to convey the Profecutors to Lon don, but when be came from his Rand to the Ind where they were, the waiter privately cautioned him againft taking their trunks, left they fhould contain fmuggled goods ; becaufo if they did and were difcovered his coach would be forfeited.— Upon receiving this caution the coachman refufed to take the Profecutors, smith they would under take to idemnify him for the air he was about to run. They would not Wien to this propofal, and he then demanded two fhillings for having his coach called away from the Rand, and for his loft of time ; a difpute enfued ; the Profecutors refufed to pay and the Defendant feized each of them, and tore the waificoat of one ; this was held to be an affault ; for which the Jury found the Defendant Guiky : and he was fentenced to be imprifoned for fever; days. _ __ _ _ Robert . Hearn and his wife were indiEled for af faulting Mary Dolphin, who was in her turn in dieted for affaulting them. There being crofs dielments, both parties were admitted to give evi dence againfi each other. Mrs. Dolphin Paid fhe kept a chandler's fhop, that the went one morning to collett fome (mall debts, and calling upon Mrs. Hearn to afk for tome money, the was received by her in a very uncivil manner, and ftruck violently and pufhed out of doors by her and her huf. band. On the other hand Mrs. Hearn fwote that this troublefome tteighbour of hers, called at het door in a very infolent manner, at a time when the had hardly recovered from her lying in, that when the faw her, the (Mrs. Dolphin) called het a jlut, and ftruck her a violent blow in the face. The Jury found all the parties Guilty : and they were fentenced to pay a fine of ten pounds each. Hannah Brabant and Maria Beckham her daugh. ter were tried for affaulting two young women of the name of Whiteway, the daughters of a pub lican who lived near them. It appeared that a great animofity exited between all the parties ; which at laa broke out in open violence by Mifs Beckham throwing a quantity of flop water, to gether with the utenfil which contained it, at Mifs Elizabeth Whiteway, as the happened to pafs by the other's door ; and it etas done as if it had hap pened by accident. rlis pr..)cluced a battle in which the two fill*— s un the one fide were engagti with the mother and daughter on the other; and after the parties had torn each others caps and :lulled each others hair, the prefent prolecution was commenced. The mother and daughter be. ins the fir( affailants, were found nsingk !I was indiCted for affaulting and bating a worn. In with who ahe had lived. It ap. peered he had fufrefted 1 er fidelity, and bad there fore pulled her out of red by the hair of her head, and treated herk ith extreme feverity. The Court obferved, that, although h was a difputc between w—e and rogue, the latter had no right to affume the privilege of correBion by tiring violence. He was fentenced to pay a fine of . I. and find fureties for his good behaviour for twelve months. CIRCUIT INTELLIGENCE. ABERDEEN, OCT. t9.—The CI) euit Court of Jufiiciary was opened here on Friday the tfith infl. by the Lords DUNSINNAN and CULLEN.
