LAW INTELLIGENCL ADMIRALTY COURT. Mama IL Before the RI& Meangrabie Mr C. Raga IN TUX MATTI& OP TUX IMMIX IMMO& The (lowa . finally determined that the rewitotionin this case, which it will be recollected wis that -of a slave woman illegally seized. should be the value. under the Act 5 George IV, and not the person of the slave. THR *TRAM VISSEL ENTIHPRISL This was a question of salvage. The steam vessel Enterprise (one of the unfortunate vessels designed for the assistance of the Greeks) left Plymouth on the 27th of June last, and two days after met with a gale off the Saints (Scilly Islands), in which she lost her rudder. A temporary rudder was rigged, composed' of a water barrel 6zed to a spar, with which she made some progress on her return to port, having signal for a pilot flying. On the sth of July, the Pur suit, a pilot-boat from Cowes, came up with her. and assisted her into Portsmouth, where she arrived next day. The value of the vessel was admitted to be 6.0001. and the sum of 101. was offered to the salvors for the service, and refused. On the part of the owners of the Enterprise it was contended, that no salvage had been performed, that the act was mere pilotage. After hearing Dr. ADDAMS for the salvors, and Dr. LUSUINGTOR for the owners. The Count. decided that this was not a case of gene ral salvage; these were no grounds for considering it such. It was a case of extraordinary pilotage ; and ac cording to its opinion, double the amount of the ordi nary pilotage would be a sufficient retnuneratiun. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT—HERTFORD. Mims IL Defuse Mr. Justice Busiaouau. .Sarah Wiggins was found guilty of stealing variocs articles of property belonging to Mr. John Grabhans. surgeon, of Rochford, in this comity, and James Smith foi receiving the same, knowing it to have been stolen. They were sentenced, the former to seven, and the latter to 14 years' transportation. Wm. Wright, aged 19, John Smith, and Robt. Parker, aged 50, were indicted, the two former for stealing two sacks and fire bushels of apples and pears, the property of the Rev. G. T. Edison, of Stock, near Billericay, in this county, and the latter for receiving the same, know in4 it to be stolen. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Wright and Smith, and acquitted Parker. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—WORCESTER, blAscit 11. THB KING tf. HENRY CLARK. A trite bill having been found against the defendant for selling and exposing to sale immoral publications, the defendant not appearing, bis bail were ordered to be estreated. Mr. Justice Paige now desired that the books found on the defendant might be brought into Cotut in a sakk, and sealed up in his presence. The town clerk now appeared, bearing a blue bag, containing the publications in question. Mr. Justice PARK—Pat them straight in the bag, but don't open them, don't let 'any one see them, keep the bag close, and write a label, stating " that this bag con tains immoral books and publications, the subject of an indictment against Henry Claik, for selling and ex posing them to sale in October, 1827; sealed up by order of Mr. Justice Park, at the Lent Assizes for the county of Worcester, 1828." The label was accordingly written, and kis Lordship directed that one of the Aldermen of this city, who held one of the books which had been ex hibited to the Grand Jury, should be sent for, in order that the obnoxious volume should be preserved with the test and duly secured. After waiting some time, his Lordship inquired if the Alderman had arrived, and was informed that two messengers had been dispatched after him. but were unable to find him. Mr. Justice PARK, addressing the Clerk of the Peace, 'said, " Seal up the bag then now, and you must attend me with it to-morrow morning. The Alderman must attend me also before eight o'clock so-morrow morning with the book. Here, tike my seal, and take care they don't break my watch." The blue bag was accordingly sealed up, and the Court then adjourned. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—LINCOLN, Misca 10. CIVIL Coat—Before the LORD OEM Bann'. STAINTON V. PHILLIPPI I SART. Mr. CLA ass (who was assisted by Mr. CLARK*. jun.) stated the plaintiff's case to the Jury. The tatts, es . they . were proved in evidence, were shortly theset-a—At the last election for Great Grimsby, Sir Thos. Phillipps, the defendant, was invited to stand upon the Anti- Catholic interest, in opposition to Messrs. Heneage and Wood. A Committee having been formed, a band of music was engaged for the purpose of accom panying Sir Thomas to and from the hustings, and about the town. The principal musicians of the town having been secured by the other candidates, Sir Thomas's band was obliged to be recruited from Louth, and amongst other persons the plaintiff was engaged on the second day of the election, to perform on the chi rionet. The election lasted six days, at the end of which Sir Thomas was duly defeated. Various demands then poured in upon him, one of which was a claim on the pact of the band, at a rate of 16s. a day each for those who lived in the town, and 18s. for those who resided elsewhere. The defendant's agent promised to remit a bill on his banker for the amount, which, however, was not sent. In answer to a subsequent applicatlet by letter on the part of the plaintiff, Sir Thomas said, that 4 4 when the other candidates would act honourably in paying the demands upon them, he should no longer have any excuse for not acting honourably in doing the same; bat at present he knew they had not paid," &c. The amount sought to be recovered was 51. lOs. Mr. Minus, in a very amusing speech, contended that Sir Thomas was not liable for this demand, inas much as he bad never engaged the musicians. it was all a volunteer business on the pan of the Committee, the nsusicialts, the agents, and the rest of that parts who had invited Sir Thomas to stand forward as the champion of Protestant ascendancy ; and he had aegond a right to bring his action against the plaintiff and his brother musicians for watt and labour done on their account, in parAding about with them, and entertaining them with making speeches and puffing their plait)* and party, as they had to bring an action against Islas for puffing him along the streets of Grimsby, a borough remarkable for its virtue and purity of principle— (l4.itighter).-6-The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff —Damages, 41. 10s. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LANCASTER I , Mason 10. CIVIL SIDI.---SIDUCTION. HAW:4I7OS V. SCOTT. Mr. B . 110110HAU stated the case.—The plaintiff was an industrious shopkeeper. residing in the town of Standish, and appeared batoretbeas to recover such cumpensation in damages as the Jury should think proper, for one of the severe st injuries that could be inflicted o n th e peace and happiness of a parent—the seduction of his young confiding daughter.

The' Learned Gentlemaa then proceeded to detail the !"acts of the case. Mary Haughtom—Thomas Scott is the father of my child—he promised to marry me at all times, both be fore and after my pregnancy—we have never spoketr since the child was bath. He said that I was too yoeng and he was too old, when I last pressed him. I never told my father of our acquaintance until after I became pregnant. Cross-examined by Mr. J. WILLIAMS—There are many houses in Standish—my father has * colliery— Scott was a bankman there---it was six o'clock when I. left Wigan—it was nine o'clock when I got home— Wigan was only tour miles off—there were no people going the way that he took me.it was a little out of the road. John Taylor, examined by Mr. BROUGHAM-4 know r. Haughtoo and family; I know Scott; he is Overseer of the Patish ; I have spoken to him about htr; he said that he mould do every thing in his power for her, but that he was too old to marry her. Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS replied, and the LearnedJvaoz minwely summed up the case.—The ,luny found a trer di,:t for the plaintiff—Damages, 204 THE LATE BRUNSWICK THEATRE. The inves•ig ition was renewed yesterday morning at nine o'clock. r. Word, a surveyor, was then swore—He stated that he is assistant surveyor to the East India Company, and asides at Claremont square, Pentonville—he was emploled by tl.e Proprietors of the Brunswick Theatte to survey the artificers' work, in the early part of last January, and from that time to the falling down of the Theatre, he had repeatedly warned Mr. Maurice of the impropi Say of attaching weights to the iron roof, but not being very conversant with irOtp work himself, he volunteered to procure the opinion of t - Wodarmpettent Gentlemen—rone was Mr. Peterßramah, civil engineer, and Mr. Moonnan, who was also well qualified to give a correct opinion on the subject. Mr. Maurice, how ever, declined calling in those Gentlemen, and told the witness that he bad received a letter from the pa- . ' maw, who assured him that the roof was capable of bearing any weight that might be necessary to attach to it. The witness was not satisfied with this. assurance, and whenever he approached the building, he alway'r found himself very uncomfortable, frdm the impression on his mind that the building was extremely insecure. On ens occasion, when he spoke to Mr. Maurice rer , pecting the danger which he apprehended, Mr. Car- ruthers was present. He had spoken to Mr. Whit well about the Theatre, and particularly with respect to weights being appended to the roof. concurred in the opinion ; but he observed at the time,. " The roof is not in my department, and t hive no cots-. tronl over it." The witness then said, In my Otiiaiotr the walls were capable of supporting the root, and the' roof itself was well calculated for its legitimate put-. pose, but it was decided,y not intended to bear the. weight which was hung to it." l'he work was performed in too hurried a manner. The a ails were not alloweJ a fair time to dry and becorre consolidated. I again repeat, that the proximate cAise of the accident was the affixing the weights to the root—l consider Mr. Whit well to be a very experienced architect, and would take' his professional opinion at any time. Mr. HILL—Do you consider that a professional man• is bound to foresee - danger, and it he did so, with an . indication of danger before . his eyes, is it probable that 'he would wilfully expose the interests of those who em ployed him and human l to to such risk ? Witness—Certainly, 1 should hope no man would do SO.• One of the Jury then observed, that the evidence already adduced was very distinct, and it was his opi nion, as well as that of his fellow Jurors, that unlesi counter evidence could be given to rebut a h it had been' alrea ;y taken down, there was no occasion to go any further than the testimony of Messrs. Nash and Smiike,, which he conceived ought to close the investigation. The Cow:ism—Our object is merely to inquire by what means the persons, of whose bodies we have had a view, came by their deaths ? That we already know, but we are now looking for information as to the real cause of the accident, which I conceive to be the most important part of on, duty ; but though other interests are represented, we have nothing whatever to do with any collateral considerations. __________________ Mr. HILL, on the part of Messrs. Wellington, the constructors of the roof, was instructed to say, that they were most anxious that the Inquest should be per fectly satisfied that the roof was fully competent to the purposes for which it was intended. Edward Shaw, the Clerk of the Works, was then put in the box, for the purpose of having his depw,ition read over to him. Jur, r— I believe Mr. Cotter, who represents the widow of Mr. Maurice, stated yesterday, that he would cross examine ibis witness--perhaps this would be the most convenient opportunity. Mr.Covrea— Upon contideration,l shall reserve myself until the deposimon is read over, and I shall then enden vonsato rebut the statements laming on the conduct of Mr. Maurice, by counter evidence. The witness's tetilirrony was then - rend over, which occupied a considerable time. Mr. COTTER-.6411V witness has 'total oat be con? siderrd some things done and oaten omitted in , the whit h pried it• in jeopardy; I would' ask him why he resigned his own judgnietit to their opinions ? Shaw—Fur this reason simply--beceispe I had been three years and two months ill with a fracture in my bead, during which I never earned a penny, and I kwas glad to get any one'. money. Mt. COtran —Why, if he considered the uprights On the stage tube so Obatuction, did he permit them to be put up? Shaw—l remonstrated with the proprietors, but it was of no avail, and V acquiesced because I was told they could not be dispensed with. In Covent Garden Theatte, that vast structure, there is not a single up get on the stage, and if the trusses had been inserted, would'have rendered the uprights unnecessary.

My opinion, as an architect, on the subject. is, that the great *eight acted upon the joints and ends of the gir ders in the same Manner as a weight would act upon the strings and ends of the bow, by extending,, distending ; and compressing it. The girders and joists were acted on in the same planner, and drawn away the walls, and therefore the roof fell. • !

Having put into his gun a sufficient charge, he agreed to hold the piece, while another person pulled the trigger. The gun burst, blowing away nearly all the young man's fingers. He was taken to the Infirmary, where his hand was amputated above the wrist.—Shield Courant. Two Inquests were field by one of the Coronets for Surrey during the last week—the first at Brantley, near Guildford, on the 7th instant, on a boy about six years old, of the name of Henry Baker ; and thelat ter at Bagsbot, on Saturday, on a girl about seven years old, named Mary Rance. On the first inquiry evidence was given that the deceased, having been lett alone with a younger child while their parents were absent at work, was heard by a near neighbour utter ing the most piercing screams ; and on hastening to the spot, it was discovered that the child had by some means come in contact with the fire, and Was enreToped in Alines. There being no water at hand, the only as-1 sistance that could be rendered was by removing the; child's clothe 'as quickly as possible, part of which were Wet to' tinder; and although the child was dread fully scorched in every part of his head and body, he survived for several hours afterwards. The second case was equally painful and distressing. It appealed that the mother of the child, a 'pool' cottager, had left the deceased with other yang children be the side of the fire-place, in the middle' of the . day, for three or four minutes only, to primate some vegetables in one of the adjoining 'dick; when; oh he return, she saw the child in tunes in front of her Cottage, screaming in the most agonising piano*.
