After the verdict, the prisoner Beckett, who is a very respectable looking °Jan, addressed the Court as fol- I was taken very ill last harvest, r which time I had four sheep and a cow. I have a large fa mily, and in my state I could not work ; so I sold my cow and my sheep, and lived as long as I coul.l on the produce of them. Being reduced to the greate,t neces sity, I was obliged to feed my children on the peelings of potatoes from my ntighbours' dung heaps; and at last I was compelled to sead them out to get their daily living on the ►rambles growing in the hedges; for I did not like to apply to the parish ; and I at last committed the crime under the greatest distress." Mr. Baron GAnuow said, that in this country no person need aver remain in such a state of destitution as to milder it necessary for him to resort to crime for illy relief of his necessiries. If the prisoner had applied to the parish officers, they would Wye been bound to supply him with proper relief. Sentence of death was recorded against the prisoners, with an assurance that their lives would be stared. MIDLAND CIRCUIT—NOTTINGHAM, Mac IS. Caaws Covat—Btfore tile LORD CUM' %ROW. William Bark a labouring tt;t;, --- betwee --- 1 thirty .and forty years o f er, age, was indicted for cutting and stabbing, with a certain sharp instrument, Samuel Parr; I on the 15th instant, at the parish of West Bridgford, N ith intent to murder him, to maim him, or to do him some grievous bodily hirm. The prisoner being both deaf-eod - deal,, thwart's.. on which he was 'arraigned was communicated toliiaa by signs made by his niece, who also interpreted the .evidence to him in the same ntrsner. The protean:if, who disobeyed a cut on his ear rind cheek', stated that on Saturday last, as he was riding his horse along the high road at a foot pace, the prisoner, who was sitting on the side of the road, suddenly got up, .and, running at him, struck lion on the side of the head with a large hedge knife, and felled him. .He attempted to get upon hit legs, when the prisoner made a despe rate thrust at him with tie hedge-knife, which cut through hit coat in the aim and back, and inflicted noonds on his body. The prosecutor_then called out, " You villain, are you going to murder me?" The, prisoner, of course, made no reply, but made another .desperate blow at him, holding the instrument with, both bands. It took effect on his hat, and such was the •force used by the Prisoner, that he wheeled round from the viol ace of the effort he had made. The prosecutor Instantly availed himself of the prisoner's momentary embarrassment to escape oat of reach of his attn, and call ;person, whom he saw at a little distance, to his assistance. The prisoner, on seeing him beckoning to another man, immediately drew his hedge-knife under ,his aim, and slunk assay. ble was secured, however, .and the weapon taken from him. The prosecutor had not spoken to him, or ever seen him in his life before. This staten.eat being explained from time to time to the prisoner, he not only admitted having done so, but showed, by signs, how and where he had struck the seeutor. When called on for his defence, he inti ma•ed that he ►,ad nothing to communicate. His niece, hoe ever, and a man who had mauled another of his nieces, proved that the unhappy man had been insane for. some time past, and lis family had applied to the overseers of *the parish to haze him taken care of, or else he IA mild chi mischief. They mentioned some in stances of irrational conduct on his part, as indicative of his unsettled state of mind. The Jury acquitted him, on the ground of insanity; and he was ordered to be taken cats of, to abide his Majesty's pleasure. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LANCASTER, MAaeri 17. Cl VI lo bl DE CON.ACILIRB V. BATO N. Mr. Donn opened the pleadings. The damages were liid at 10,0001. Mr. krroatize Genzam. for the Palatine stated the case. The circumstances connected with the case were of a very peculia► and aggravated nature, as they would learn fetal ) the testimony of the witnesses which he should call. In the 'ear 1813 hi• client was married to Miss Ann Gabbott, with whom he continued to live in a state •of the greatest harmony and comfort far• many yews tidtet that marriage, and she became the mother of six ,ehildien, !lilt residence for a considerable time was at Black Bock,wbeie the defendant, a medical Genii. man, . . also resided. The sequaintitnee.of the plaintiff and d 4. fondant commenced at an early pet*. of life.; and ih c onsequence of the defendant's prolessii net attendance, he had opportunities of 'becoming very intimate in the family. It was under the base ptetest'of eiercising his professional duties, that the acquaintance of the defendant with the wife of his client .becatne so Cor rupt ; and it became his duty to . . appeal 'to them as to the manner in which he ,fetnigot his conduct as a Gentleman—betrayed the cdnfidenCe plated in him as a friend—and abused his. duty as . a piolessional character. Received into the ,house of the plaintiff as a friend, he was treated, with the *great r est respect and esteem, while the most implicit confideace was reposed in his honour and fidelity. He Would not state the facts and the circumstances under which this affair took place. He would merely state, the dis cover; of his wife's misconduct plunged him into the deepe t affliction. He immediately put her away, and .he returned to the house of her father. He was unable, to bear the pressure of this despondency and from the' often repeated mournful inquiries that his children made after their mother, he sent for her again. He, took her back, but not to contribute to his domestic comfort, for his mind was overwhelmed with the me lancholy recollections of the past. Day after day her health declined—she became a prey to anguish and repentance, until, to fill up to the very brim the cup of misery, about three weeks since she died. He would no longer dwell upon the case, but leave it to their serious attention, tetying upon their impartial judg ment, upon theevidence that they would have brought before them. Thomas Cowherd stated, that he knew Mr. and Mrs. A. very well. They appeated there in a state of the greatest harmony, and the plaintiff's conduct appeared to be kind and plea ant. Cross-examined by Mr. STARICIE—Ackers was ori ginally a labouring man; he came to a considerable property by the death of some relatives. William M nck examined by Mr. J. WILLIAMS-1 am a horse u r geo n —(Laughter). Mr. Baron HuLtAcx—l suppose yen are a farrier ? Witness--Yes. yes; I know the plaintiff and his wife; they lived together very comfortably. John Painter stated, that he was Ackers's servant boy, and lived with him for four years. About 18 months' since he remembered Mr. Ackers going to Pte.ton„ and remaining out during the evening. Mrs. Acker, had company ; her sister Ellen, Mrs. Betty Ackers, and Mr. Heaton were there; Miss Gahhott and Mrs. Betty Ackers went out; Heaton went into the kitchen ; lw then went into the patlour and shut the door; Mrs. Ackers was there; he remained there about a qua' ter of an hour, and the door was fa.steneJ; he saw one of the children try to open the door. Cross-examined by Mt. BROUGHAM—a fendant was the medical attendant to the family; he (w itness) now lived with Martha Wibley ; her son is matriei to Mr. Ackers's sister ; Betty Ackers is living at Black Rock; she was not there. Alice Shorrock was in the service of the plaintiff and his wife; she went to lore there last summer; she knew the defendant; he used to come to the house some times; there were two pallours on the ground fl'ior ; there was a sofa in each of them. She had seen the defendant and Mrs. Ackers on one of them; that was about the 20th of July last ; there was no on else present; she was going out at the front door, And saw them sitting on the sofa; the doctor had his arms round Mrs. Ackers' neck, and his face up lo her's; she observed nothing further then ; she did not know whether the doctor was there when she went back ; my mistress told me not to tell—that was the second time; she had only been there four or five days before she ob. served them. The defendant came one day, and asked her if her folks were at home? she said her mistress was net up, and her master had gone out. The defendant went into the parlour where her mistress was in bed; he remained there a'quarter of an hour, and then went airily without speaking to any body. Cross-examined by Mr. Baouonam—The door was half orn. Her mimes, was only confined a few days beinge the defendant went into her mistress's bed-room. The defendant attended her as her medical man during her illness. When &betook her shoes off was ten weeks after .her mistress's confinement. There wa's an old woman living in the house at the time, named Taylor, abo [[bust have seen a good deal of the plaintiff and his , She did not cal . het what she had seen between Mira. 'Ac kers and the defetidant. Ms. Baouctiam atelitssed the Airy for the defendant 'Were he guilty of the offence Imputed to him, theyshould feel no hesitation in expressing their indignation, by the amount of the danliges they would give, did not the condtist of the plaintiff himself put it out of their power to award him mare than a single farthing, if the cliatge could even be substantiated. He would ask them on what evidence Viey could rely for the attaching of even the least suspicion on the conduct of the defendant?— The last witness was the only one whose evidence went to prove any one circumstance that could give the least colouring to the statement of his Learned Friend. But they would pause before they gave any degree of belief to his testimony. From the nature of the cvarge, and the situation of the person against whom k was made, it would be their duty to rt flect with great calns tress, and examine rte evidence with ti , e greatest mi nuteness, and having so done, draw their conclusion with coolness and impartiality. The Learned Gentle. man concluded by observing, that upon such evidence as they had heard, and the subsequent conduct of the plaintiff, who had slept with his wife upon the very same bed that he had charged hyr with having defiled, he should leave the cause in their hands, confident that they would not give the plaintiff one farthing damages. Mr. Baron' Hut.Locc summed up the case to the Jury, and said, Wary were satisfied that there bad been a criminal connection between the plain.iff's wife and defendant, they would give such teasonAble damages as the case deserved. The Jury were absent for near three flows, and then returned a verdict for the .defend.nt. It is curious, observes a cottespondent, that Mr. Semi° Rica, who has just received an Indian appoint ment, is an Irichnusa, and that the Indian term for rice is Paddy. Sunday evening Elizabeth Callagan, and another female, two of that unfortunate class who walk the street, were knrcked down and run over by a stage coach in the Strand, while crossing the street. They were immedia•ely conveyed to the Hospital, %%ben the former was found to bate received such a severe injury on the head trona the wheel of the coach, that the is not Asps cted to recover. Salturday night. a man about five feet seven inches high, with a dark complexion, and sandy whiskers, dressed in a black frock coat, dark pantaloons, black suwkings, and a crate hatband, went into the shop of Mr. Wtikinson, in Hanway•stteet, Oxford -street, and having described himself to be the son of a baker in Stephen street, ordered a hat worth 126. 6d. to be sent immediately, with change for a sovereign, to the baker's hou'sr. lie intercepted the boy who tarried it, knocked hint down, slid ran away with the hat and change. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. A man of extremely mean aypearanee was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with kaving.been concerned , with a number of others, wi th endeavouring to defraud a Gentleman of the . Island of Jerery of a great number of cow., and a large quantity of cider and isotatues. The case excited a great ,deal of laughter in the Justice room. Several of the members of the Society for the Detection of Swind lers and Sharpers, were in attendance. Mr. Alexander, an extensive a n ent in Jersey, saw in an English newspaper an advertisement, stating that any person having a large concern in cattle, Su. was desired to apply at . a house hi Union street, Moot fields, when a ready tummy transaction would be en tered into at once upon a very large scale. Mr. Alexander imme diately wrote off according to the address, mentioning that he was disposed to deal, and he received a letter in course from .Union street, Sloorfields. stating that the firm were willing to take from It 0 to 500 tone of potatoes, 20 or 74 cows, (the best South ampton breed) and 50 tons of cider per week . P his was an order not to be trifled with. Mr. Alexander believing the Inn to be highly respectable, without delay freighted a vessel, .of which Mr. Ames was Captain, with potatoes, and sent it off indorsed to a Mr. Gregory, who paid 101. on account of the freight.— There was a quantity of cider also in the ship, and it was expected that ready money would at once be forthcoming. The bill of Wing was dispatched to the house, but Captain Ames, who knew that there were some &shin firms in London of no great weight, took care that proper Inquiry should be made before he would put much power iti the hands of Mr. Alexander's correspondents, and ascer tained that the Union-street concern was a complete humbug. Mr. Gregory's clerk went by his direction to the house in question, and found the prisoner there alone. with a wonderful lack. of business. One of the parties had called at Mr. Gregory's office with the bills of lading, and orders were given for landing the cargo at one of the wharfs, but luckily the firm benefited nothing by the transaction. The prisoner (Robinson) upon being asked whether bit partners were at home, replied in the negative, and a man of respectable appearance then made his appearance, said he was agent of the Company, but he could nut exactly say where his principal, were. lie was, however, ready to receive any orders of goods, and to give a receipt for every thing that might be left on the premises. The Lout. MAvoa—Well, prisoner, what have you to say about the Company? The prisoner declared that he knew nothing about it. The Loss Marna — What sort of a concern was this, and how did you get into it? The prisoner said that it was a queer sort of business altogether. He was walking about doing nothing, and he met a man who asked him whether ke would not wish for a situation of a shilling or two a day He replied iUthea tfillll3lC , t'v • and the man desired him to call at the house, where he *as immediately hired, some weeks ago. as a messenger, and to look after the business of the office. The Lotus Mayon—And how much business did you do? Prisoner—l received one twopenny post letter—that was all— that was the whole business of the office—(A laugh). Captain Ames—Did you know any thing about the cows and the cider? Prisoner—No, I never received no cows at all, nor cider—bat if they had come I would have round room for them—(Laughter). The Louts blavou said, that this system of plunder was carried on to a wonderful extent, notwithstanding the numerous exposures which had taken place. fie allowed the prisoner to be at large, on his promise to appear when called for. GUI LIMA LL. A BIT or f.tre.—ln this case, one Me. Matthew Stalk, a well dressed and rather sedate looking person, was charged by the linpector of Sr. Bride's watch with having been " very much itostli-kated" at half past one o'clock in the morning ; and his sis• ter (!j—a very unlikely looking matron to do any thing irregular.— was chirged will having been quite as " far gone In liquor as Master Matthew himselt. The Inspector said he found them, at the unseasonable hour aforesaid, under Mr. Alderman Waithman's window. Master Matthew was lying on his back, kicking up his legs, and singing; and his sister was endeavouring to steady herself against the shut ters. The Inspector asked them what was the meaning of " all that ere?"—to which Master Matthew replied," Why we've been to the Coburg to see Tam and Jerry, and now we are trying to have a hit 1 life for ourselves !—and ikon's the meaning of all this ac." This answer nut satisfying the Inspector, he laid hold of Master Matthew, and endeavoured to set him up on end—ill-the hope that n hen he was once set up be would have walked on. " But, your Worship," said the Inspector—in continuation of his narrative.-- " he was so fluent with his 6,tes there was no doing anything with him, and so I called the watch, sand we took 'ens both to the Compter." " Well," said the Alderman to Master Matthew—" you. hear the charge against you; what have you to ay?" 6 ' Why, I've a great deal to say," replied Master Matthew, very sulkily; but he did not attempt to .ay it. " Speak on, Slr," said the Alderman—" we cannot wait for you all day !" " Why I say what he says isn't trite; I wasn't at all oistropadons," responded Master Matthew—still more sulkily than before. " It is sworn that you were ; and, therefore, satisfy the officers for the trouble you have given them, and then you may go about your business, and take your sister smith you." " Humph!" ejaculated the sister—." there may be law and jt'stice in the land—but nut hen e;" and then they withdrew to make an end of their little bit of lye" ascbeaply as they could. Ai gkiL y our.—Messrs. (Zearge Law and Jokes Barton were charged by Robert Jefferies, a small watchman of St. Bar tholomew the Great, with having " conic upon his beat in a state of great aggravation." "At halt past two 9"clock this morning, please your Worship," said he, " these two Gentlemen came upon my beat in a state of great aggravation. They were giving each other the liar—and such like—and they got into a fight at last; and, because I wouldn't let fight,,but got in betwixt and parted 'ens, they both turned to and gave me abuse enough to last me a fortnight; so thou, thinks I, It's time I took such gents as you to the watchhouse; and tad." This was the watchman's CAW, Mr. George Law undertook to be spokesman for their defence. He was a vet y fashionably-attired young man; and twopence' very indignantly with a " Really, Sir, Gentlemen cannot submit to be ienposed upon in this way!" " In what way?' demanded the Alderman. 4 . Why, Sir," replied Mr. George I.aw—" the watchman has totally misrepresented the affair. We bad merely been dining out with some friends; and on our return, my friend, here, happened to strike me over the head with his cane —and, as I had a cane in my hand, we fenced a little with each other —and that was all; eau for that we were taken and shut up in the watchhouse. Ido say such conduct on the part of these men is scandalous ; and, what is wotse, they would out allow us to and for bail—the watchman declaring that he was determined to find us a lodging for that night. 'fbe Alderman observed, that the watchman had given a very different account of the affair—and he had sworn to at. At :al events, if thy had gone home in a more reasonable time atter dinner, they probably would not have go: into this trouble : and as it would perhaps be a warning to them to keep better hours, and go home more peaceably in future, they were now at liberty to, depart upon payment of their fees. Mr. George Law seemed to be pretty considerably dissatisfied with this decision; but other business was called on; and he and his friend paid their discharge tees, one shilling each, and deputed in peace. BOW-STREET. Win. Tomlin, a small sly-looking old man, in a rough great coat, with the pockets standing out very suspiciously, was placed' at the bar, and the following charge made against him— . Richard 13ald.sln, a watchman, deposed that be bad frequently seen the prisoner, ar very early hours in the morning, conung up front the direction of the Adelphi Wharf, into the Strand, with has pockets as suspiciously swelled out as his Worship now saw them. The suspicions of the deponent being thereby excited, he d:termined that he would have a peep into these pockets the next time be saw them, and, in consequence of this determination, he stopped the prisoner in Sdisbury-street, corning from the Adelphi Wharf, at five o'clock that .morning ; and, upon peeping into the pockets, he found that they were quite full of coals. Deponent was of opinion these coals were stolen from the barges lying at the Adelphi Wharf. Mr. Hatt, to the prisoner —You seem to be pretty well loaded, old nun. Pray where did you get these coals? Prisoner—Oh! I found em in a nose-bag, against a stable door in Scotland-yard, and took 'em out of the nose-bag, and pm 'an into my pockets, because any body else that might see 'ern would he done the same. I !oppose you know some of the carmen must he put 'em there in the horses' nom-bags, intending to fetch 'em away some time or other. I thought I might as well take the nose-bag, but I didn't. The watchman said, evert word of what the prisoner had said must be false. Mr. Hatt' directed the gaoler to take the prisoner into the yard and unload him ; and when this bad been done, the gaoler brought his prisoner into the office again, and a pail, quite full of coals was placed before the Magistrate, and stated to be the contents of the prisoner's pockets. Mr. Batts observed to the prisoner that his pockets must be extraordinarily capacious, and asked him if be had them made so for the convenience of carrying coals? I'tisoner—Oh, no, your Worship, I do a Little bit in the same' way, you know. I deals with the poachers a little, and meets the coaches to get the hares and things they bring; and these pocket. is to hold 'em. Here, this pocket, you see, will bold two hares; and this The prisoner was interrupted, and told that be was being more communicative than was neceslary, and Dir. Hales Ailed him stns. udder the 'Police Act, for having goods in bk ponesiion unaers i , ,pkious circumstances, without being able to account for Not having the money, be was locked up.
