of her dusty swain, who they had heard was in the habit of going down into the , coal-pit in a bucket, she had submitted to the wrong she had suffered--had al lowed her excited feelings to remain in the uns.ititfac tory state which had been described—how it brought to her knowledge, in fact, all of a sudden, and she was awakened to the sense of her wrong , , and had thus became a plaintiff instead of a wife, and found herself among lawyers instead tf being in the arms of her lover. If there had been nothing else in the case, his Learned Friend would have left it for them to dis cover why it was that a woman in this situation should lie by for such a length of time before she even thought of taking one step in furtherance of the remedy which she sought by the present anion.' There was, however, a little explanation of this affair given by the witness who had already been called before them. She had said something of love, though she had spoken nothing . of the lace ; the love the plaintiff bore the defendant she had mentioned, but nothing of the law s to the plaintiff's brother. Louis Duckworth had somehow or other lace brought against him. That was ascribed to the defendant ; and 'then she instantly brought,this action against Johnson, the plaintiff. This was mani festly not for any injury sustained by herself; but be cause a supposed injury had been done to her brother. His Learned Friend feat ing that something might come out, that some witnesses might remember what others forgot, had left the whole case resting on the testimony of Margaret Duckworth. The Jury must- be led to suspect that there was some connection between the bringing of this lace and the present action. But they would lose .111 wonder at the present action being de fer red so long, when he told them why this Marriage had not taken place. This would, in fact, entitle him .to a verdict in favour of his client. He would prove that his client had always been perfectly ready to marry her, as he had promised—that it was broken off on her account. They had beard, on the part ache plaintiff, of some difficulty to the marliage, with respect to the Catholic Priest. Now the delay consequent on that was perfectly consistent with his case. They would find that if she would have been married by a Protes taut Clergyman, which marriage in point of the law of England was the only marriage worth a straw, she might have been married to the present plaintiff. They were. perhaps, aware that it was a form which the members of the Catholic faith thought necessary,, , that no Catholics ought to be married according to the forms of the Protestant Church until they bad been martied according to the forms of their own Chotch. At this time the defendant was on bad terms with his priest, Mr. Ewsham, and therefore he was unwilling, and indeed absolutely refused to marry them. His only alternative remaining, therefore, was the marriage by the Protestant Clergyman, which marriage was the only legal one. This she refused from conscientious motives, with which be I ound no kind of fault, but she had surely po right to blame him for the non-performance of a promise which she had chiefly caused. If he could prove this, be apprehended he should be entitled to their verdict. Elisabeth Spencer—l am a sister of the defendant ; I know the plaintiff; I had a conversation with her in the year 1825 ; she told me my brother was gone out in a gig ; I said I supposed he was going to be married ; . she said. ult is my own fault, for if 1 would have gore to the Church he would have married me." Eli:Moth Johnson—l am the mother of the delft dam; I know Alice Duckworth, the plaintiff; I spoke with her on the subject of my son's marrilge: I said, " I always told you he would marry Martha Holt; ale said," the fault was mine, for it 1 had gone to Church with him be would have married me: She said he asked Mr. Ewsham to marry them, and he :would not, as he would not comply with the rules of the Church. I said. 8 , you may be as well without him." Peter Arabin-1 spoke to Martha Duckworth about the marriage of the defendant, and she said, u 1 hope the moment be puts his foot into the basket, the rope may break, and he law be smashed as small as oat. meal." I said, " No, you don't say to." She said, u.Ye-, but I do, and you may go and tell the poor devil so." . I think he is paid about IL a week wages. . Mr.J. WILLIAM:I6es replied. 'He contended that or far from what had been proved on the putt of the defendant dm:teasing the plaintiff's claim to d.mages, it increased it. Here was a man. actually going to procure a license tomarry the plaintiff, entertained the idea throughout of casting her off. on the *flabby, mean, shuffling pretencenow beenghtfixward before the Jury. .He.was well swam that sdch-ra form was prescribed, rbythe religios art the plaintiff. and himself, as the pre miers Marriage, according to the. Catholic ritual. He, therefore, made hit promise subject to that condition, and it was only by such means as he chose here to employ that be could free himself from its obligation. So far. from this contemptible subterfuge freeing him from the consequences of its breach. he hoped that they would regard it as a reason for their giving still higher damages. , Mr. Baron BULLOCK summed up. He remarked that there did not appear to be any reason to doubt that a promisehad bear made by the defendant. The question Was then, had anything occurred which could legiti mately dispense with his fulfilment of that promise ?, Although Mr. Ewsham had refused to solemnise the userriege ceremony according: to the Catholic form. it .did not appear from any evidence, that an application had been made to any other Priest for his interference. j Mr. Ewskam himself, too, had not been called to prove the facts of the case. If, on considering these circum stance% thop were of opinion that the plaintiff was en.' titled to a verdict, they were nest to determine the e amount of damages which they would award. After the greet period of time which had bees suffered to elapse before the bringing of this action, and as the evidentsproved the defendant to be only in the seceiFt of a.peond a week, they would probably not. think the damages might to be very large. The case was in their hoods, and they would dispose of it as seemed most comment to justice. The Jury, after a few minutes' consultation, returned a verdict foe the plaintiff—Damages, len Pounds; costs Forty Shillings. PALACE COURT, Amoy no IOMPUTZ V. lItILLY. This was an action for slander. The defendant pleaded the gemeal issue. Mr. hAneocx stated the case. The plaintiff was . a Veatiemaa who had always borne an irreproachable character, and the defendant was a saddler and harness, maker, residing in Finsbury-place. The plaintiff had no* to complain of one of the most atrocious acted's that ever was made upon the fair fame of any-iodiviC deal, and the Learned Gentleman said he felt happy that rice and luxury had not yet gone so far in this emsetry as to say that character was not useful and necesiary. Let the Jury then examine their own minds. and theirfeelings - would at once answer, that no man keeld or ought with impunity to use thelangtrage which the defrodalt in this action was charged with applying to the plaintiff. It would be unnecessary to waste the this of the Court and the Jury by a kogtheaed address; for if (s sid the Learned (lentlemar) 1 were to speak for three hours, I do not think that hi any re• marks of mine I could add to the enormity o f t h e d e . teudant's offence. The slanderarus language of tie de fendant would speak its own t ontlennato ion. It would appear in evidence, that whilst the, plaintiff's servant was proceeding down Chancery-lane in his master's g;g, he was met by the defendant, who accosted him in t hese words" What, are you and your master still on town ?" The next question went a step higher, until the last inquiry crowned t'ywhole—'• What (continued the defendant) ate n. t you and your master hanged yet Who did you and your master do out of that gig in which you are now sitting ? Why do you wear that coat with a crest on your button? You are no servant—you ate a partner with your pretended master, and you go about swindling together. He has rohbed me of 1001 worth of harness, and you may tell him I have said so; I'll pull you both up together ; your Master is a notorious thief; he has been guilty of many felonies, and has compromised them to prevent his being transported; he is a felon." This was the slander, of which the plaintiff justly complained; and as long as character was dear to man a Jury would prevent scoundrels from .using such language in the public streets. It would. theLearnedGentleman thought, be an insult to the understanding of the Jury to attempt, to aggravate the offence which rendered the present action necessary; and he only regretted that. consis tently with the jurisdiction of this Court, they had been obliged to limit the damages to 191. 10s. Samuel Andrews was then called and examined—He proved tbat,on the %A of June last, heawas present in Chancery-lane when the plaintiff's servant, whose name is Spurting. was addressed by the defendant in nearly the very words stated by the L-arned Counsel. On his cro ss-examination} by Mr. Ross, the witnest said, I am a wire-merchant; I am frequently passing through Chancery-lane—indeed, I may say, five days out of the seven ; I reside at No. 13, Lambeth-place ; I knew the plaintiff. Mr. Gonsperts, for about six or eight months; but I never accepted bills for him or drew bills on him, but I have frequently sold him ale and cider; I 'sever saw Spurting dressed otherwise than as a servant ; the affair took place between Cursitot-street and Symond's•inn. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. Ross took a preliminary objection, namely, that there was no evidence of the slanderous words having been spoken within the jurisdiction of this Court—that was to say, in the City of Westminster, in the County of Middlesex. Chances y-lane being within the walls of the City of Lond.in. The Lear ed JUDGE overruled this objection. Mr. Ross then submitted that the plaintiff must be nonsuited, i asmuch as the words imputed to the de fendant cutatiined no substantial charge of felony. as stated in the declaration. The whole contest of the words went no farther than to convey a charge of swim' ling. The Learned Gentleman contended that altht:ugh the defendant, in the ebullition of passion, and with irritated feelings, might have applied the epithet thief" to the plaintiff, still that as he had coupled that express sion with a generalcharge of swindling, the particulat charge of felony must merge into that. The junta was of opinion that there was a substan tive charge of felony contained in the words proved to have been spoken by the defendant. Mr. Ross said, that as the point of law was against him, he trusted that the Jury, after an attentive consi deration of all the circumstances, would think that justice was on his side. The Jury. he hoped, wpulsi not higd doer* the defendant to any particular epithet wbitb be spigist have used in a moment of passion,, but ,world 'infer from the words. takers together, wh. t everil bystander rusts have inferred, that,he meant to charge the plaintiff, aith being a swindler only. It the defen• dant had taken up goods from different tradesmen; without ever intending to pay for them—if he had swindled the defendant and others, surely he could have no character to lose; and although the Learned Couto *el was now precluded, wider the plea of general issue, from proving the truth of the charges, yet he could and would prove the plaintiff Gompertz to be a swindler, and that his character was not worth one farthing. Mr. FLANAGAN objected tO the admissibility of any such evidence, as there had not been a plea of justifies. _don put upon the record. To give such evidence for the purpose of mitigating damages, would be to admit, in this state of the cause, a justification, although under a different name. It would, moreover, be taking an unfair advantage of the plaintiff, who, from the plea pot in by the defendact, did not expect any such evi dence, .and therefore was not prepared with witnesses to rebut it. Mr. Ron admitted that there was a sort of intermix ture between justification and mitigation, but said than by producing evidences: the plaintiff's being a swindler, he did not mean to prove the truth of any p..rticular felony against him. The object merely was to show that the plaintiff bad lost nothing. because he, in fact, had no good character to lose. The Learned Gentleman,. in support of this view of the law, cited the case of Lord . Leicester in 2d Campbell, in which it app- ated that. Lord Mansfield had, under the plea of general issue, permitted the defendant to prove rumours of the offence' which the libel imputed to the plaintiff. After some discussion upon this point, The Learned JUDGE ruled, that the evidence offered. by Mr. Ross was admissible in mitigation of damages; but he would give the plaintiff permission to move for a new trial, if it should subsequently appear that'he was wrong in this decision. Mr. Ross was about to call evidence to that effect, when another discussion took place, the result of which was, that the Learned Judge altered his opinion, and refused to receive the evidence proffered by Mr. Ross in mitigation of damages. .Mr. Ross then proceeded to address the Jury. His hands, he said, were bound, but he hoped that hitting°, would have little .di/lenity in showing the Jury what the character of the plaintiff was. His Learned Friends en the other side had adopted the old rule of stating broadly and proving shortly. They contented them ' selves with calling Mr. Andrews, when they might have produced Spading, to whom the words were said to have been addressed. Why not place Spurting in the witnelf-box ? . He could best have told the Jury whether the -charge made against his master was true or false. He could have told the Jury whether his master had or had not been three times a bankrupt, and whether he did not owe between 30,0001. and 40,0001. He could ban told the Jury. whether his master had or had not watches upon his person for which he never paid. He could liave told the Jury whether his master had or bad on given two small bills to a tradesman, receiving sew money for the difference between the amount and the goods purchased, and whether those bills were not afterwards prOtested.✓. He could have told whether his master had ever compromised his character, or borne that of a swindler: Spurliig could best have spoken letribeta charges, and, it false, he could have cleared She charactet of his friend. Mr. FLANAGAN protested against the course which ile i lßess. was &Ming. 'After the -decision if the Learned Judge, he had no right to state chilli ges which, I it uue, he knew he would not be permitted to prove. MI. Ross, under these circumstances, lett the case altogether in the hands of the Jury, who' would judge of the character r f the plaintiff as Well from the evidence which he kept back, and sought to keep back, as from that which had been received. tie trirsted dial, it Upon a view of the whole case they Mid find a'single hole, they would meet the ju s tice of 't e matter at l'asue by giving the advantage o it to thndefendant. The Learned Jonas summed' up ; end the Jury, after a few minute s consideration, returned 4 veidict for the plaintiff—Datnages. One Farthing. Mr. Ross asked the Judge Inceetify, for the 'ayn't of depriving tire plaintiff of his costs. The Learned JUDGE said that 'be would consider as to whether he would certify or not. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

The woman, who bad teen almost silent the day before, was bow exceedingly anxious to be heard, and began by sayingsbe bad been very much " put upon." Mr. Payne, the second clerk, interrupted her, to explain the ox tune of her application; upon learning which. Mr. Alderman Auscav refused.to hear any thing further, as it as not.in his power to assist her; but the disappointed coupl se e. were advised.to seek re dress in the Court of Conscience, and they departed, the old man vowing he would try that reme dy. The Lady, it seems, has had a far greater share of Hymen's fa vours than ordinarily falls to the** of woman. She has had .above half a dozen offers of marriage. but the hard-heaned Overseen rejected successively an her admirers, till the one in question came forward. A newsman's lad, named Tansehy Davis, was charged with steal- ing a parcel, containing seven newspapers, out of the Peterborough coach, about seven o'clock yesterday morning. The coach was drawn out of the Bell and Crown yard into Holborn preparatory to being laden, and in the temporary absence of the ostler, the prisoner boldly opened the door farthest from the paeentent,and reached the parcel out of the pocket attached to the opposite door. He was, however, observed, pursued to Fleet. market, and secured. - - The prisoner said, in Ma defence, that he could not tell bow be came to do such a thing. . _ . The prisoner's master said that be bad been two years in his service, but he had not much taitb in his honesty. He bad sent the prisoner that morning to a coach office in Cbeapside, and he must have gone strangely out of his way to j et into Holb orn. Mr. Kennedy, a newsman, identified the parcel, and the prisoner was committed for trial. BOW. STREET. Themes Brown, alias Thomas Oseiset amok who underwent an examination at this Office about a wook ago, charged with having endeavoured to incite Japes Wood, a clerk in the General Pon- Office, tocomsnit a capital felony, by extracting money from post office letters, was yesterday placed at the bar for the purpose of being re.examined. The legal, difficulty in the sass to whirlwe alluded in our first report was, Whetbet in point of fact the letter lo question could be said to have been stoke, it baying been placed in the hands of the witness Wood by direction of Sir F. Frieling, for the purpose of entrapping the prisoner? It was Bedded that the prisoner could nut be tried capitally, as no felony had actually been committed. No fresh facts were brought forwar4, and cob , that portion of the evidence which related to the apprehension of the prisoner was read over. The prisoner wu asked if he bad not another name whey employed as a letter carrier in 1817, when be was, convicted and sentenced to. trabsportation? The prisoner admitted that his name was as it is above stated, and that his only reason for concealing the name of Opthani was, that it would get into the ttewspapers. l'he prisoner was fully committed for trial for the ndedenteanour, but told that he might put in bail, provided that his sureties were respectable. Ryon and George, the two young men who stand charged with breaking into the house of LailyEaftles, at Highfield-house i near Hendee, were brought up to be re-examined, but remande d, in order to give the °Seers an opportunity of investigating the case. • * 111 A ItLBOROUG Earl Ferries summoned the driver of the. hackney coach, 477. for taking more than hie legal fare. The fare which Earl Ferrets said the coachman demanded, was two shillings, audit seas for con ..eying his Lordship from thoston-serect, itegent'a.parh, tP Harley- Street. The defendant said be had never seen his Lordship before, and of course did not make din _rdemand upon him on the day in question. His Lordship bad stioune.neel a wrong man. Earl F maintained ketiras correct, and said that the numbtr• of the coach was not only taken by himself, but by a Gentleman who was with him. Hr. Comply consented to postpone the case, io radar that the. Gentleman might attend; but Earl Ferrer. said he had no tlosire to barrass the man, ilad would therefore remunerate him .for bis loss of time, and consvin that the case should be decided egaintt him; but he would take an early opportunity to bring forward his friend to prove that he was right.

The history of James Hawkins, who was a few days ago sent to Botany Hay for lite, is one of the most sin- gular we have 'lately heard of. He had beets one of the best fighters in the kingdom, and was well known 'in the pugilistic ring, in which, it was said, he was able for any of what are technically called "the HAIR weights," with the exception of Curtis. His spirit was etce.sively bold, And he was so remarkable for that feeling which we cell "honour amongst thieves," that his associates, from whom his habits of robbing compelled bins to a pante, would have done every thing in their power to save him from an ignominious punishment. Six or seven years ago he was transroted fur picking pockets at oncof the theatres. Some of his old " pals were in New South Wales before he reached that place, and connected themselves with the notorious bu,h-rangers, who were then -constantly engaged in robbing and murdering. They endeavoured, well knowing his in • •• treproity and strength, to prevail upon him to join them, but he resisted the temptation, and applied all his ingenuity to effect an escape back to England. He succeeded, but he was not long in England when be was apprehended for another robbery, convicted, and sentenced to be transported for life. He again contrived to liberate himself; he stowed himself in the hold of a vessel which was about to sail for England, and he re. mained in the spot with a few pieces of biscuit, and four or five pounds of salt junk in his pockets. Soon after his arrival in this country he went on a pugilistic speculation to Weyhill fair,' under another name; bat while engaged in giving lessons to a young dandy, he slipped his hand accidentally into his pupil's pocket, and left him without a shilling. He was apprehended and tried for having broken prison; he pleaded guilty, and was again transported for life. On his way to the hulks he contrived to loosen his irons, and get out of the van at two o'clock in the morning, when it was very dark' and raining heavily. Mr.Wontner, the Governor, u.ed every exertion to secure him, and succeeded, atter having gone to a good deal of expense. It is said that Hawkins never would join in any cruel plan of robbery, and 'ha he resisted all attempts to enlist him in a gait of hou-e-breakers. His conduct has been exceedingly orderly arid quiet, and he was '27 years of aAe on the day of his last conviction. WORSHIP-STRRET.
