LAW INTELLIGENCE. - COURT OF KING'S BENCH , WmAniestm. JULY 2. Sittings at NW Pritie in :lliddlesex, after Trinity ' refill, before Lord TENTRIMEN and Special Attics. WOOLLY v. SCOVELL AND OTHERS. This was a.l action to recover compensation in da mages for an it jury sustained by the plaintiff, a young sr an tinier age, through the carelessness of the defen dant.' servants. From the statement of Mr. GURNEY, and the evi dence, it appeared that the plaintiff, who was about 20 years of age, was the son of a respectable soap-boiler, and superintended hi. fathet's business. The defendants were the proprietors of Symonds' IVharf, in Tooley street. Oa the 28th of Aucirst last, the plaintiff was at the defendants wharf. siipetintendine the loading of a cart beloneinc to his father, with and this hay -4: it been finished, he was returning home from the sicl• irt, and as he was pissing the detendant.' ware house, he was struck by a hag of wool, which was thrown out of a 'ono-hole in the defendants' premises. The blow he received fractured one of his legs in three different places, injured the other leg, and bruised the shin in a manner which 1.-ft little hope that he would ever completely recover from the effect. of the accident. Several persons who were present at the time of the accident swore that they heard no warning given by the men when the hag was thrown from the loop-hole, and it appeared from the testimony of some of them, that one of the defendants had expressed his fears that some accident would happen from the careless manner in which the men were conducting the business. The witnesses for the defendants deposed to a warn inc being. given by the men at the loop-hole, and two of Clem stated that the plaintiff, on hearing it, made a stop, and looked up, but that having turned the wrong way, he had himself been the cause of the accident. He was also heard to say that he thought he should have sliffijeut time to pass before the bag came down. Lord TErirEnnKN, in summing up the case to the Jury, observed, that the question for them to determine was, whether the accident had happened through the negligence of the defendants' see vants, or whether it had been occasioned by his own fault and his own mis take? Hi. L3tdship was of opinion that if the plaintiff not seeing the bag of wool until the moment it came upon him, then endeavoured on a sudden to get out of the way, although that might not be the best or most prudent step, yet if he did not see the danger until it was too late to avoid it, the defendants were answera ble for the conduct of their servants, and the plaintiff was entitled t t their verdict. It, however, they thought that the defendants had exercised reasonable care and caution, and that the plaintiff, having an opportunity of avoiding the danger, forbore to avail himself of that opportunity in reasonable time, and rashly threw him self into danger, then they ought to return a verdict for the defendants. The Jury, after ten minutes' consideration, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 7501. THE KING V. WILLIAM CReCKYORD. There were two indictments against William Crock ford. A Jury was sworn in each of them, but no one , appyarirg on the part of the prosecution, verdicts of . Not Guilty were recorded. THU •KING V. HAWES ASH TWO.OTRERS. Thin was an indictment against Messrs. Hawes, Hodges, and Bolton, charging them with a conspiracy to sue out a commission of bankruptcy against Mr. Welch, the musician. It appeased that Mr. Welch and Mr; Hawes were partners in tt e Argyll Rooms, and in the management of that concern there was conhiderable disagreement between the pasties. Mr. Hawes wishing to dissolve partnership, offered Mr. Welch 10,0001. fur his share, or to sell his own share for the same sum.— Welch being unwilling to comply writ'[ either of these offers, Mr. Hawes said he would become a bankrupt, for the purpose of dissolving the partnership. He ac eordingty consulted Mr. Bolton, his at:nrney, and ulti- mately was made a banktupt. The petitioning creditor was Hodges, who, it appeased, had a good debt. In order to make out the conspiracy, it w is contended that these could not be the least pretence for imputing in solvency to Mr. Hawes, whose income was from seven to eight hundred pounds a year. The bankrupts paid twenty shillings in the pound. After the above facts had been proved, Lord Tzts- TILRIMIN was of opinion that there was no evidence to support a charge of conspiracy. The circumstance of the petitioning creditor having a good debt, removed all pretence tor the charge of conspiracy. The Jury acquitted thidefendants. The case attracted the attention of nearly all the musical persons in London. The Court was filled and the galleries crowded. Earl Ferrers sat on the Bench, and his Rqyal Highness the Duke of Sussex was in a room adjoining the Court. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Warne u*, JULY 2. ELIZA SEAGO v. BARKER. Mr. Hurctamon opened the pleadings. The decla ration charged that the defendant had made the plain v ff a promise of marriage, but that he had subsequently tailed to fulfil it. The defendant pleaded the general issue. Mr. Sergeant ArionEws stated, that Vie plaintiff in this case was a young woman about twenty-one years of ace, v.ho, though now in a humble station in life,. had in hrr 'youth been bred up with fardifferent expec tations, and. although those expectations had been dis appointed, and her circumstances and station lowered in the worlc4 she still retained her respectability by her exemplary conduct and behaviour. Her father ,was formerly &keeper of glass coaches, but 'laving become unfortunate, died a few years since, leaving a large family entirely unprovided for. In consequence cf thfs, the plaintiff was compsllcd to go into service, and some time since entered the family of a Mr.*ondenezen, residing at Brixton, in the capacity of a,servant. Ir. the set vice of that Gentleman she found not arty the pin tectian of an excellent master, but also of a judicious and kind friend. The defendant was a botcher, residing also at Brixton, and was in the habit of supplying Mr. Vondenezenwith meat; and in January last; having before-frequently seen the plaintiff, he expressed his love for her, and made proposals. of marriage. The' plaintiff, however, like a prudent young woman, would give no decided answer until her mother and her master had been consulted. The defendant accordingly sought an opportunity of seeing them; and having declared his' passion, answered their inquiries by stating that his , business. was very lucrative, and that he was clearing 101. a week by it, and that he was consequently welt able to maintain a evife in a comfortable and respectable manner. In addition to this, be told 'the mother that lie had two small freehold farms. lie was told that the plaintiff had no property ; but be expressed an'utzer contempt for it, and declared that he wanted her only for herself. Having received these assurances, no ob-' jection was made to the match, and the day of mar riage was fixed to take place in April. The mat riage dresses were prepared, and every arrangement made; ' but before the day arrived the defendant broke off the engagement, and, without assigning any reason, re fused to marry the plaintiff. The present action wok consequently brought, and it was hoped that the Jury, by their verdict, would compensate the plaintiff for the injory and disappoiroment she had sustained. These facts were fully established in evidence. Mr. Sergeafit E. L* W ES, for the defendant, contended that the case was altogether of a trifling nature—than the plaintiff had sustained no injury—and thm, conse quently, the smallest amount of ehmagei would be suf ficient to compensate her. The Lotto enter Justice told the Jury, that as the plaintiff had clearly plowed her case, and as the de fendant had given no answer to ii, the only question for their considerAtivn would be the amount of damages. The Jury almost immediately teturned a verdict for flee plaintiff —Damages, 1001. ADMIRALTY SRSSIONS, JULY 2. THE PLUNDER OF THB FARQUHARSON INDIANIAN. The Admiralty Sessions of Oyer and Terminer and Gaol Delivery, adjourned from the Ilth ultimo, for the trial certain prisoners charged with.i.lundering the Farquharson East Indianian, was resumed this day before Sir CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON, Mr. Justice PARK, and the other officers. John Ferguson and John Hopkins, two seamen, were given in charge, and pleaded not guilty, upon an in • dirtvent charging that they, in conjunction with Rich ard How Manley, Roheit Benner,lthn Howard,-- Smith, and three other persons not in custody, on the 24th of September last, upon the high seas, and'within two.miles and a half of the short., near the island of Singapore, did in the night-time seize upon a cutter boat, value 901. a top-gallant studding sail, valued at 301. two tarpaulins, value 61. two compasses, value 6th. six muskets, value 121. six pistols, value 3/. and certain other things and stores belonging to the Honourable Company's chartered ship the Farquharson, the pro perty of the owners of that ship, Messrs. Christopher Lockner and Co. O.her counts charged the property to belong toWilliam Cruickshank, the Commander, and varied- the offence in different points of larcency. Mt. BARRY opened the case and read the declaration. Mr. ALLEY, in stating the facts to the Jory, observed :his was an important case, and would require their close and peculiar attention. Mr. Henry Cowan, chief mate of the Hon. Com pany's ship Farquharson, stated, that on the 24th of September last, that ship was off the island of Singaa l pore ; the sixth mate then was named Rithard How Manley, who had charge of the first watch at ten o'clock in the evening. The ship's cutter was hoisted up on the ship's quarter in safety. Captain Cruickshank was then on shore; the persons named in the indictment , formed part of the crew, and were all on board. The witness at two o'clock in the morning awoke, and went upon deck, and missed Manley, the officer of the watch, and also the ship's boat. Next morning, upon the crew being mustered, Manley and sir persons were missing, and also the ship's stores enumerated in the indictment. He never saw the two prisoners until they were in cus tody in London. Mr. Powell, the purser of the Farquharson, proved the ship belonged to the several persons named in the indictment. The two prisoners were in the ship, and went away on the night of the '24th of September. Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—The principal care and superintendence of the men was under Mr. Cowan, the chief mate. He was not aware of any dis content having existed among the crew, or of com plaints of the cruel treatment of the chief mate. Se. veral desertions certainly took place among the crew, at St. Helena, Penang, and also in addition to these men, at Singapote. Never heard all these things were attributed to Mr. Cowan's conduct. Three men de serted at Penang, one at Singapore, and tour at St. Helena. • Mr. ADOLPHus—Did you not understand that all these desertions from the ship were produced by the severity of the chief mate? Mr. Justice PARC said he would not permit that question. It conveyed an imputation upon a witness which he had not an opportunity of rebutting. It was not a proper question by any mean!, and could not be permitted. Cross-examination of Mr. Powell resumed—Occa- sionally his duty led him to no: with the crew in all parts of the ship ; never had any conversation wit') them about their complaints; the ship was lying about two miles and a half from Singapore; the Captain was ashore there, and in all probability they would have been brought back had they landed there. The island of Singapore is under British domini.)n, and at all timer a good look-out is kept on the shore. The Straits of Malacca are infested, of said to be irfisted, by pirates. The native boats carry fire-arms. 'the brats of Bri. tish ships do not. Edward French, a Midshipman of the Farquharson, went upon deck at twelve o'clock on the night of the 24th of September, and was desired to go below by Manley, as it was part his hour of watch. Captain William Cruickshank deposed, that he was not on board his ship when the men deserted. By Mr. Justice Paatt(—Had qo complaints ef cruelty or ill treatment by the crew. Does not believe' there Was any cause of complaint. A few days before the ship arrived home, some complaints were made cf Mr. Cowan's conduct. Edward French recalled, and examined by the JUDOS--The pri.oners were on board the night _before the deseition. Did not see i h em during his watch at ten o'clock. Mr. ALLEY said this *as the case for Vie prosecution. Mr. AnuLPHys submitted that the evic-tica was not sufficient to go to the Jury. Mr. Justice PARK thought difE•Lently. The men itnew.they were at.toog illegally when they t , ok aw a y the ship's cutlet. Ti.at had_ been proved. •and was a fact for the consideration of theJuty. The prisoner, by direction if their Cquctel, made no defence. Mr.. Justice FARK summed up the evidence ve; y btiefly. and was ot opinion that the evidence.was suffi cient to show the prisoners had a guilty intention when they quitted the ship. Th e Jury, after write minutes' deliheraion in the box, retired from the Court to a.private room. After an absence °fan hour, the Foremast eameinto Coprt and handed in a wiitteri paper with •this ques tion-:-46 Was the taking the -ship's boat sud the stores an act of felony ?" Mr. Justice PARK des;red she Fareman,io go into the box, and seat for the reirianider of the Jury —upon then return he _said, he had brut for them in order thet tiey all might understand his ob,ervations. Before he en- tend into a deietiption of the law, it would be necessary for bim to understand what they meant by the question ; if they meant that the n.en had only carried off the boat to enable them to deveat.alo dlip. and iomt that ualr purpose only, he would recommend them•to find them guilty pith that reservation ; • and he would reserve the point for the cantlderati.on. of the twelve judges;,_ it struck him certainly as a new point and a very extraor dinary one. lf,on the other hand, they were o f o pi o i oo ., that the prisoners carried off the cutter and she ships', stores ; with•any ottm view than that of auisting .stiona to desert, then they were bound to find the prisoners' guilty. He certainly considered that the circumstance of taking with them the sails, stores, and fire arms, showed ani.ther disposition than that of an intent an merely to desert from the ship. The thing was perfectly clear to his mind. The Jury turned round, and after a few moment , ' conversation, the foreman said, they had agreed upon finding the prisoners guilty of stealing for the purpose of desertion. _ . _ \lr. Justice PARK—Gentlemen, since I.last spokes to you, I have considered again the matter with the Learned Judge of this Court, and he agrees in opinion with me, that if your verdict he as it is, you must find the pri soners not guilty. Therefore, return that verdict. The foreman gave the verdict, when another juror said, they were not all agreed. The foreman replied, that it was his opinion the pri soners had run away with the ho,t to desert. Mr. Justice Pa niC —Gentlemen, if you are not agreed you must again retire—you must give an unanimous verdict.—The Jury then retired. At half-paA two o'clock, being out altogether about three hours, they returned into Court with a verdict of Guilty agaiast the prisoners, but recommended them to mercy on the ground that it was not proved under wl.at influence or feelings they had acted. Sir C. lioniNsotc, in passing the judgment cf the Court, said it had taken into consideration the rec m mend4tioo of the Jury, and therefore would not proceed to the severer seotence of transportation ; but would mei.• cifully mitigate that into imprisonment. Tire Learned Judge then sentenced them to twelve months' imprison ment and hard labour in the House of Correction. Joseph Bragg, Coutmander of the ship Valiant, was indicted for assaulting and beating some of his clew on a voyage from the Mauritius in March last. He pleaded Guilty, arid said he had given the pro secutor a compensation. The prosecutor, a man named Bowman. was called, and admitted he had received 6/. 10s. from Captain B. as a compensation for the beating he had given him. Under these circumstances, the Cvurt fitted Captain Bragg Is. and he was discharged.—The Court then adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL- - - Joseph Sheppard, otherwise Ware, was re-examined upon a charge of stealing a basket of composition dolls, value 41. Them was no further evidence, but the Alderman intimated that he should commit him, as there could be no doubt of his connection with the other man,who was actually seen carrying the goods away. A second charge was then preferred, of.having stolen in a similar manner two bundles of silk, value 671. N. Sherry, a lad in the employ of Mr. Austin, a fringe-maker, stated, that on the 6th of June he was carrying the silk along Newgate.street, when the pri soner, who was standing at a pawnbroker's door without his hat, asked hint to fetch a coach from the stand in the Old Bailey, and gave him permission to leave his bag of silk in the passage. As be could not so conveniently "run with it, and he supposing it would be perfectly safe, left the goods, but when he returned with the coach, he discovered that he had disappeared with the silk. Be was quite positive the prisoner was the person. The prisoner's solicitor put some questions to the lad, which however did not at all weaken the case, and the prisoner was com mitted on this charge ASO. IiATTON—GARDEN. W. H. Muit was re-examined en a charge of bigamy. It was stated that the prisoner was married to Ann Lloyd Roberts, at the parish church of Paddington, in 1817 ; that he lett her in 1825, and that in November in the latter year he married Jane Davis, with whom he lived two years. These facts were proved, and he was committed. James Taylor was charged with stealing twenty-four silk hand kerchiefs, value U. So. the property of Ann and Elizabeth Harri son. The prisoner went into the prosecutrize shop, snatched up the handkeechiets, and ran off. He was however quickly secured, and the property found on him. He was committed. MARY-LA-BONNE. If Comae, charged with conspiring to defraud Mr. J. Newburg, of George-street, Pottman-square, and others, was brought up for re-examination, and again remanded till Monday. QUEEN-SQUARE. - - Yesterday Atkinson, attended by his witness Prntts, the Creole, and another worthy, appeared to support two informations laid against Mr. Peers, proprietor ofthe Southampton coach, No. 8138. for carrying one more passenger than expressed in his license. The informer's witnesses swore that on the 20th June, at Chiswick. they saw the defendant's coach, No. 8139, with eleven outside passe's gers.—Mr. Gazesoar : Your information is against No. 8138; the case is dismissed.—Atkinson and his men were thunderstruck at the •sudden termination of the case, and left the office highly chagrined. The other information against Mr. Peers shared the same fate. WORSHIP-STREET. Charles :Wins, aged 16, was committed on a charge of stealing a piece of calico trom a hoy, the sou of Mr. Wilkie. The lad was pamting by the side of the canal with the calico under his arm, when the prisoner asked what he had got there? and snatching the pro perty from him ran off, but he was pursued and taken. LA M BETH-STREET. The master of a fret trader was brought up on the following charge—Nlr. Syer, of Limehouse, stated, that on the preceding evening, op his returning from the City, he found the prisoner, who bad occupied apartments in his house, in the kitchen, with a kettle of boiling water in one hand, and a case knife In the oilier, each of which he nourished over the heads of Mrs. S. and three or four friends whom she had invited to tea, to their great terror. After a desperate struggle, during which both he and Mrs. S. were severally assaulted, he secured him. The defendant did not deny acting as represented. but pleaded intoxication. This however would not avail him, and he was held to bail for the assault. TOWN-HALL. Three boys, part of a gang of forty, infesting the neighbourhood of the Elephant and Castle, were brought in by Macey, the night constable of St. George's, suspected of picking pockets.Tbe youngest, not more than nine years old, was seen to 'ilia Gentleman's pocket twice within a sh trt distance of the Hall, ►ut perceiving he was watched, they Al made off, but were taken after a short pursuit, and two silk handktrchiefs, nearly new, fnund upon then,.

The whole of the prisoners then came close up to the deceased ; one of them, James Barry, had a blunderbuss, and mo st of the rest had pitchforks. As s .on as they had cloud round the deceased, Casey struck him acrocs the loins with the staff-end of a fink, arid he fell to the ground, and never spoke afterwards. The rest fell tipor, the d e . ceased, and stiuck at him with their tnrks. Witness and four other Englishmen, named Arnold, Nix, Berry, and Bel, who in the meantime had come u; , ran to the spot, and endeavoured to piorect Long John. Wa. ness had a stick in his hand, with which r e snuck Cosy -on the hand. The Irish in a body attacked wares, and the rest of the English with their forks, and compelled them to run away. When Long John got up, after being knocked down the first time, he seized hold of the black thorn stick which Casey had in Iris hand, and wrested it from him, and flung it to a distance. Casey instantly seized hold cf a fork, arid with it struck down Loll John the second and last time. Atter considerable questioning, it was elicited from the witness that he had interfered when Long Jr hn was first knocked down, and had then struck Casey with a stick he had brought from home. The others fell on witness, and he was compelled to run across the field. He al erwards returned and saw Casey knock down the deceased with a fork. After Long John was first knocked down, La cey, Nix, Arnold, Berry, and Bell interfered, and fought Kirsh the Irish, and endeavoured to drive them cif. Se veral of the Irish jumped upon the deceased, after he was knocked down the second time. When they left, witness returned. The deceased was lying rn the ground, but was not dead. He assisted in carrying him to this house, and a surgeon was then sent for. Mr. Bowen, surgeon, of Harrow, deposed, that hese rived at the spot about one o'clock in the morning, and found the deceased lying on a board. He wai; quite dead.

The chest was much injured, as was alto the lower r eg ion of the stomach. There were two punc tures on the lett shoulder, apparently done by a fork, '2nd as many incised wounds on the upper lip, inflicted with some sharp instrument. Lie also found a very deep wound 'on the side of the temple, which mostlii4 was the occasion of the suffusion of blood on the brat.. The man, in his opinion, was beat to death.
