BOLLAND AND OTHERS, IN TILE MATTER OF MARSH, STRACEY, AND CO. BANKRUPTS. This was an application on the part of the Assignees, to have the proof of a debt of 90001. and upwards, made by Sir Thomas Hare against the bankrupts' estate, expunged. The facts of the case were these:—Sir Thomas Hare, who was a Gentleman residing in Nor folk, being desirous of raising the sum of 15,0001. on mcrtgage, the late Mr. Fauntleroy undertook to supply bit wants. The way in which this was to be done was by selling out stock, of which he was Co-trustee with :ahers, wh;cli was done, as it was supposed, at the time, with the requisite formalities. The sum raised by the of stock was paid into the house of Martin and Co. the bankers, on account of Marsh, Stracey, and CO. When the matt age was executed, the money was tranqeired Item Martin and Co.'s to Marsh and Co. and placed to Mr. Fauntleroy's private account. Sobseqiiently to these proceedings, Sir Thomas Hare opened :in account with Marsh and Co. by paying in 5001. That sum he drew out at different periods, and nu:ice was given that his account was closed. lie con tinue', however, to _draw .upon..the house, and the checks were paid by Mr. Faunderoy's directions, and he made himself a debtor for their amount in his pri vate a:count. Matters were in this state when the hous failed, and Sir Thomas hal proved a debt against the estate fnr upwards of 90001. which be said he had given Mr. Fauntleroy directions to invest in the 4 per Cents. and which it was supposed had been invested, as credit was given to Sir Thomas Hare in the accounts for sundry dividends. Mr: Prays, on b?half of the plaintiffs, the assignees. contended !hat the tiansaction was purely a. peisonal one between Sir Th-rnas flare and Mr. Fauntleroy, and therefore the former was not entitled to prove his debt against the bankrupts' est Ate. His HONOUR said, that the question was too much one of account to allow of hs being decided satisfactorily by him. Ile would therefore direct an issue to try whether the transaction was a per sonal one between Sir Thom is Hare and Mr. Fauntleroy, or a general one with the firm ? CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, an Inquest was held b“ fore THOMAS STIRLING, Esq. Coroner, and a highly respectable Jury, at the Delawarr Arms, Os ford-street, upon the body of Samuel Whitehead, who a as suffocated in a cess-pool. It aril eared, that within a few days past the Delaw.ur Arn;s public-house has been undergoing a repair, and the'house sewer or cess-pool was opened, but the open ing was covered over with boards. On Thursday fore noon, between eleven and twelve o'cloc's, the deceased, who was the waterman at the coach stand, and much respected for his demeanour, went down into ti:e cellar, and bad sorre jestiog and play with a dustnnin named Deno ; he was standing upon some boards which shook violently. Dean called nut to the deceased to tick.e care, and bad sc turd the words 'of eatition, before the slint a iltried out and titefiteare - cr. An" g[1 : 40 11, alarjn 'join% y given, and several persons assem bleoliNr the cellar with lights, and an aperture (before undiscoveteJ) appeared, through which the deceased had kink into the cess-pool. His groans and cries for assismnce were distinctly heard. A blanket was pro cured and lowered down, but it could not be reached by hikn. _Several persons said nothing could save him, unless a person would descend through the aperture, but <if those persons, none were found hardy enough to ventafre down ; until at length, Robert Sharpness, a soldier of the 2d Battalion of the 3d Regiment of Foot Guards, attracted by the confusion, went into the cellar, and in a manly manner, rebuking those who stcod looking on while the man was dying, caused a ladder to be lowered into the cellar, and having a rope tied round his body, descended into the cess-pool, and found the unfortunate man standing upright, but covered with the soil ;he was moaning. The soldier endealoored to remove him, bat could not; and at length fastened a rope-around him, and had him pulled up, but quite insensible. The soldier himself nearly lost his life by this humane and gallant act, as on being drawn up he could not speak, and sustained a tempo rary loss of sight,from the sulphureous and fatid elluvia arising from confined air ; but by the care and attention of Mr. Roche, the landlord of the Delawarr Arms, he was soon restored : not so with the deceased, although promptly attended by Dr. Mulligan, of Portman-street; nothing could save him, the deleterious air, or gas, he had inhaled, could not be expelled, although every effect was made to iodate the lungs. The Jury observed it was a most distressing ease, and a verdict of * Auirleotel Um*" was remised. The .fury expressed an unanimous hope that the Co roner would make an application to the Humane Society in bthalf of Sharpness,' the soldier, who had upon this - rateusion . , 'by the act cf daring and distinguished hu manity which he had accomplished, entitled himself to a reward. The Coroner said, be believed the rewards of that Society only extendedee rescuing parsons from drowning; but ncverthekss, be would certainly do all in his power to assist the soldier's applicatie& INQUEST ON DAWKINS. Yesterday evening anlnquest was held at the Triump hant Chariot, Pembroke-mews, Grosvenor-place, before T. Huns, Esq. Coroner, on the body of Nicholas Daw kins, a Marlborough-street Police officer, who was run over on the 24th of May last, while attending a party at Lord George Henry Cavendish's, Burlington house, Piccadilly. Several witnesses were examined, from _ whom evidence it appeared, that while two Noblemen's carriages were driving through the ledge gate, they were jammed in together; the deceased was endeavouring to get them released, the coachmen were whipping the horses, and at length one of them drove in with stem 44, carrying the deceased several yards, when he fell, aid the wheels passed over his leg and broke it. He was carried to the Hospital, where he died of the injury. It was stated that Lord Westmorland, and Pima, the Police Officer, of Marlborough-street, witnessed the accident, and knew more than any one ebe.on the subject, and it was likely could identify the coachman.—Mr. J. Price, a solicitor attended, and questioned the witnesses, especially Mr. Pitman, the' house-surgenn, as to the deceased's treatment while in the Hospital, where it appeared that everything was • clone for the deceased. At a late hour the Inquest was adi : -, Lirued until seven o'clock on Monday evening next. SLIMMER ASSIZE& AVOUST to. STOCKMAN, THE 21111113E111. The Cotinsel.for Crouch, who'had preferred a bill of Indictment against this man for robbing him of a sum of between SOW. and 1001. applied to the Court for an order that the prosecutor should be allowed his expenses, the Grand Jury having ignored the bill. Mr. Justice liot.noVn said he thought this was not a case in which the usual allowance ought to be made. When prosecutions were instituted for the ends of public' , justice, by men who had a claim to the benefit of that justice, it was reasonable that they should be aided and encouraged in the pursuit of their object. Here, how ever, it appeared, that the prosecutor had been in the possession of a sum of money, which it was too pro bable he had not acquired by honest means, but by some unlawful gaming upon the bruising-match, of which he had been one of the promoters. The allow ance (igh: only to be made to persons who had nothing to blame themselves for in the accidents which had ex posed them t:. robbery ; not to a man like the prose cutor, who (putting out of the question the very suspicious manner in which he had become possessed of the money he had lost) had been so imprudent as to go, with a large sum about him, to a place resorted to by the dishonest persons who always attended fights. — The application must be refused. iitzwilliam Thistletuaita Hentstaorth was convicted of pe:jul y, in swearing to a debt apinst a Mr. Chiketts of 30:.1. The pi isoner is well known in town and country, and he was sentenced to be transported for seven years. . • James Pattern, a coarse-looking young man, aged 21, WAS capitally indicted for an aggravated assault upon Anne Atking, at the parish of Edgebaston, DA the 7th of M sy last. The Jury deliberated for half an hour, and then found the prisoner Guilty BEY V. ALDRIDGE, ESQ. This was an indictment which was preferred against the defendant, who is a Magitrate of the county of Gloucester, for corruptly refusing to license a person named Gardner, to keep a public•house, unless he would deal with Mr. Watts, a brewer, and wrongfully licensing a persou named Mason. From the evidence, it appeared that the prosecutor, Mr. Gardner, was the owner of a horn:, situate at Bis• Icy, for which he wishel to obtain a license as a public- , house, not intending to reside in it, but because he could let it for a larger rent with a license than without one. For this purpose he applied to Mr. Aldridge, a Geatleman of 72 years of age, and who was a Magis• trate. It appeared that Mr. Aldridge had some years since carried on the business of a brewer, but that he had given op that business to his son, who had since resigned it in favour of Mr. Watts. When the pro secoor first applied for the license in 1822, Mr. Al. dridge said that it ought not to he licensed, as there were so many public-houses. However, on a second applicaiion by the prosecutor. Mr. Aldridge said, that as it appeared to be the wish of the neighbourhood, it should be licensed, brit added, 66 1 should like to serve soy friend Watts." This the prosetutor assented to, and it was understood that the beer to be consumed in I the . house should be .bought of Mr. Watts. -Several, other interviews took place, in-one of which the prose ' cutor said to Mr. Aldridge, that be should be willing toles the house to any person put into ffi:Niors, .and. Mr. Aldiidge said she license had hatter bo-graated -so Mason.. the-- relevant* . -assented • ttr. This person, named Mason, was a hair-ctresseir' in the town of Stroud, who proved that he hid never carried - on a public-house, or intended to do so, nor had he ap plied to any Magistrate to license him ; however, the prosecutor and Mason, - and two persons as sureties, went before Mr. Aldridge and Mr. Burgh.' another Magistrate, and a license was granted to Mason to , keep the prosecutor's house, as a public-house ; but' Mr. Watts ultimately declining to pot any one into the house as a tenant, Mr. Aldridge refused to con sent to the assigning of the license to the . prosecutor, land it therefore remained useless in the hands of Mason. This appeared to be the grievance complained of. Mr. LunLow addressed tfieJory for Mr. Aldridge, and argued that there was not the least evidence of corruption oo his part, and that whatever the arr angement 'about the license was, the pro. secutor himself was consenting to it. Mr. Justice Boasouon recapitulated the facts to the Jury, and said,that unless they were satisfied that Mr. Aldridge was actuated by corrupt motives, be was entitled to au acisittal. Verdict— Not Guilty. GLOUCESTER, AUGUST 11. ALWAY V. NIBLETT. Mr. Ross= stated that this was an action for criminal conver sation had by the defendant with the plaintiff's wife. Mr. LUDLOW opened the case as one attended with circumstances of aggravation, although the parties did not move in a very exalted circle. The plaintiff, a young man about 28 or SO years of age, carried on the business of a brazier, in the town of Thornbury. He had been for some years married to his present wife, who had brought him four children, The defendant was also a married man, a tradesman like the plaintiff, in Thornbury, and in habits of intimacy with his family. ,Under these circumstances, a criminal intercourse had taken place between Mr. Niblet and Mrs. Alway, which had blasted the comfort and happiness of the plaintiff far ever. The intercourse had subsisted for some time before it came to his knowledge, as the de fendant purchased the silence of his servants ; but as soon as he knew it, he quitted the society of his wife, and in a few days desired her to leave his roof. Mr. Robert Alway s the plaintiff's brother, proved the marriage, and that the plaintiff separated from his wife in March last. He thought they lived happily together. Since the separation, he had heard the defendant say he would provide for the plaintiff's wife while he had a shilling, and she still lived in one of his houses, and a little way from his own residence. James Taylor, an apprentice of the plaintiff, deposed to seeing his mistress and the defendant in an indelicate situation in the shop about two years ago, when he had climbed to a window to observe them; but did not then see an act of adultery. He also deposed to two ether meetings between them shortly after, of which he did nct tell his master, and that the defendant several times gave him small sums of- money. He recollected the quarrel between his master and mistress in March. She remained a few days afterwards in the house; and on one night his master slept with him. On cross-exami nation, after a great deal of pressing, and MR admoni- i tion from the Judge, the lad said that,on the other nights, his master slept in the same room with his mistress, as he heard him enter it. Mr. Richard Alway, the father of the plaintiff, who lived about half a mile from Thornbury, said that he thought his daughter-in-law made a good wife to his son, till on a Sunday in 1824, be called at the house and found the door fastened. He attempted to open it, m.hile doing so, saw Niblet coring down stairs. Mrs.Aiway then cache to the kitchen window and spoke to biol. The neat morning about ten he saw Niblet go towards the house, and watched hail. late went through the workshop to the kitchen door t and there, looking through the window, saw Mrs. Alway and the defendant criminally c.)nsected in the kitchen, so as to leave no doubt of their guilt. He spike to Mrs. Alway about it, but did not tell his son for ten month% •after, because he thought it would destroy all his happiness. Mrs. Alway only slept one night in the house after be spoke on the subject, in March; for he saw her g 3 the next day to her father's. The plaintiff was distressed and ill when he discovered the conduct of his wife. On eross.ezarn - i4ation, the witness said that two or three persons might have stood and looked in at the kitclkn window, when he saw the parties in the situation which he Add described. A witness named Ford corroborated Robert Alway respecting the declaration of the defendant, that he would provide for the plaintifs wife, and the Overseer of the parish represtuted the pro perty of the defendant to be worth about £7OO or £BOO, but did not possess any accurate means of knowledge. Mr. TAUNTON addressed the Jury for the defendant, contending—first, that the adultery was not sufficiently proved, because the evidence of the plaintiff's father was incredible; and second, that, supposing the proof complete, the plaintiff ought only to obtain nominal damages. There was not the slightest proof of seduc tion ; no evidence that many persons besides the defen dant had not shared the favours of the litdy ; and a m4n who was so insensible to his own dishonour as, ac• cording to the testimony of the apprentice, to occupy the same room with his wife after discovering her in fidelity, could not ask a Jury to give him any ecorn pence for the loss of those affections which he bad taken so little pains to preserve, and which he htd lost with so little of manly resentment or honourable sorrow'. 111 r. Justice BURROW!' directed the Jury to consider, first, whe l ther the adultery was proved; and secondly, if they thought it was, what damades the plaintiff was entitled to recover? The story told by the plaintiff's witnesses was extraordinary, and, if true, proved his wife to be a shantelets woman, wlmse conduct, of course, the Jury would consider in estimating the damages. The Jury, after co3sulting for a quarter of an hour, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, £l2O. BRIDGEWATER, AUGUST 10. Hannah Tatinton "as indicted for having, on the' 15th of May last, caused the death of her husband, Henry Taunton, by throwing and pushing him down the steps of Wale( t Parade, in the city of Bath, with force and violence, by which he received several " mortal wounds, bruises, and concussions," of which he languished till he died, on the 18th ,of the same month.—The remarkable features of the case were these. The prisoner, about seventy years old, thought of marriage in April last. She fixed her affections on the decetsed, rather above than under 9.5; they were both paupers ; the union of the parties made some noise at the time in the fashionable world at Bath— many a jeu d'esprit was let fly in the pump-room, and old maids began to think of blooming afresh, declaring that " it was better late than never," and always gA better to marry than burn." Mr. and Mrs. Taunton spent the happiest honey-moon, envied by all the men and matrons in Bath. Scarcely had the month ex pired, when—alas! how inconstant is man's happiness ! they were heard by their neighbours to bicker and brawl. On the night of the 15th May, they walked out together, apparently full of affection towards each other. They were seen tother, walking arm-in-arm on Walcot Parade, at hal f-past eight o clock. From this parade there is * descent - of thirty stone steps to the street, with a landing-place in the middle. At the top of this passage, the deceased' requested the prisoner to precede him she refused, and - as •soon as he made one step down, she put her right' hand . to his back, and pushed him down violently fourteen steps, till he fell fiat on the landing. There she left him till he was taken home by the neighbours. He died in 58 'hours after, and said that he would never forgive his wife. The facts were proved.—The surgeons spoke of " the bruises, contusions, abrasions, inflammations, extravasa tions of blood, and quantities of serum in the ventricles of the brain." These latter symptoms. however, were not to be attributed so much to the fall, as to the gra dual decay of nature in the man. The surgeons main tained—nobedy doubted them—that the man could not live long, though to received no fall at all. Mr. HALcosts, for the prisoner, took several objec tions to the form of the indictment, in which, instead of " mortal wounds, bruises, and concussions," the adjective " mortal" ought to be repeated with each substantive. The place en which the man was thrown was not the ground, as laid is the indictment, but stone steps raised on an archway. The arguments on these abstruse points took up much time, and wasted great learning, for the JUDOS overruled the objections without much hesitation. The woman was found Guilty, and sentenced to sis months' im prisonment. CARLISII, AUGUST 10. HALLIDAY v. ATKINSON AND ANoTHER. Mr. SCARLITT stated the case. This was an action brought by the father of the plaintiff, a minor, against the defendants, who were the executors of a person of the name of M'Knight, late an innkeeper at Whitehaven,l and the object of the action was to recover from the de fendants the sum of 100/. being the amount of a promis sory note, made by M'Knight in favour of young H.ll - on or about the 2d of August, 1821, and just previous to the death of M.Kaight. He (Mr. Scarlett) knew not what possible defence could be set up to this action, inasmuch as he would be able distinctly to prove the intimacy of Halliday and his family with M'Knight, and the making of the note by him, and witnessed by a person of the name of Bland. - Mr. Bland having given bis evidence, Ihe promissory note was put in and read, and Mr. SCARLITT said that be had closed his cruse. _ _ Mr. BROUGHAM, for the defendants, addressed the ljury, and said that his clients were only discharging a duty imposed upon them in defending the present action. They were the executors under the will of *Knight, and now found it necessary to oppose this claim in justice to the different parties interested in the affairs of *Knight. The Learned Counsel submitted to his Lordship, that there was no case to go to the Jury, as no valuable consideration had been proved, though notice was served to require that proof. Mr. Baron Hutzoex said, that in his opinion, there was enough for the consideration of the Jury. Mr. Mitchell,' surgeon. was examined, to prove that WlEnight was of unsound mind, and addicted to habits of drunkenness. In cross-examination he admitted that he wai;;;linrs;;;M:Knight's will, made about the same time at which the bill in question was given. • Margaret and Ana Bateman, two relatives of 11• Knight, gave similar evidence as to the state of his mind and habits. Mr. Sc.' as-nv replied, and Mr. Baron Hoxxoct summed up, wben the Jury, after a few minut es d e lib erat i o n, found for the plain tiff—damages ,1100, and interest since the date of the bill being due. Thursday night, about nine o'clock, a fire broke out at the house of Mr. Amos, ,hatter, in Yolk-street, 'Blackfriars-road ; but by the timely arrival et the en gines it was soon extinguished. • • sposTING INTELLIGE YORK AUGUST MUTlNG.—(Fobatst as c, Yntrusisuv). Fast cies.nce, Arrwoov.—The betting at the New Betting Room, in the York Tavern, bas been very extensive since our last, on the St. Leger, and, as we predicted, has thrown Altisidori back, the odds having immediately reached 3S to 1. The St. Leger betting becomes every hour of greater Importance; the horses continually changing places, some of them with litkila ap pearance of reason ' • Clevslard, in particular, is continually alter ing, and thou whoaffect to be wise on it, *titillate it to Maturing a roarer, a report which we will nut vouch for; he is a very fine colt, but many nay that he is too large. A south country horse of Mr. Windhant's, brother to Addy, who it will be recollected, *as beaten by Enamel,, at Newmarket, has got up surprisingly Ltely, and is much faioured, as well in the North ai in the South; and from the favour in which he is held by the Yorkshire people great things are augured of him. liaratarius winning the T.Y.O. su Tuesday, brought Trinculo forward, but he will not long 1-- main a favourite. Escape's victory yesterday was a surprise to the sporting world, for as yet he has only beers known as a gener.d loser. It will be seen below that he has been heat to-day, which leaves his chance very poor for the St. Leger, and will very pro bably prevent Altisidera running for that Stakes.

YORK, TMUSADAY NIGHT, Etalte CetLeCit. The day was beautiful, and the great interest excited by the 30 sov. stakes, which so greatly innuends the future specula/lone . sn the St. Le ger, brought a more numerous assemblage of Gni:ldea, than on either of the preceding days. As soon at the Races were over, and the books settled, the departures were very numerous among the Nobs for grouse shooting, which commences to.morroie (August 12), to Richmond, Middleham, ichmond, Pickering. and the north and north-east of Yorkshire Moors. It is said that the grouse are numerous, and very strong on the wing. - On the termination of the day's sport, the betting men canoe gated, and a great deal of conversation on the great race took pl.ze. Many were watching Homer's coming in, as it was said that it would be "bellows to mend ;" but it was not so—he was all righr, and only touched once with the whip, to which be instantly an swered, and could have won the race if he had pleased, more cleverly than he did ; he has more the appearance of a stallion than a racer, but is evidently capable of a deal of wear and tear ; it was thougkr. that both Crowcatcher and Escape lost greatly at the start. There has been some very heavy betting this evening; and, as we pro phesied yesterday, Homer immediately got up to 10 to 1 ; Crow catcher was also named at 40 to 1 ; Escape and his Grate being out of the question. Cleveland remains as before (it is said that there is more money depending on this horse's running for the St. Leger than was ever known on one horse—full a million; should be lose, it will be a very heavy Sessions) Memnon must go back.
