- 'I THE TIE SEVERED. ; A SKETCH. same BLACKWOOD'S MADAME. When news came to the mother, that her sots Wes slain in battle, all at once it seem 'd As if the chain that bound her to this earth Was snapp'd, and, like a broken flower, she pined, When the rain rushes, sod the winds are loud, In quick decay. He, of foui. goodly sons (Two on the ocean for their country died), Was the sole remnant ; one by oar they sank, .I.eaving him only, to his mother's heart Solace—hope—comfort. Words may not ezprees The tenderness so tearful and so deep, The love with which this widow loved her son, Musing, awake, within her silent home, Dreaming, isleep, on her nocturnal couch: He was to het the world. Words cannot paint The agony, Which, like a tempest fierce, Tortured her thoughts to chaos when be fell. And sorrow, like dark midnight, fell between Sunshine and her morn heart. • On afternoons Of summer, when from bean fields blossoming, Lazy and faint the amorous winds crept by, Laden with perfumes, %was a pleasant sight ' To look upon the matron, as she turned • With patient toil her martnur-making wheel, Within the shadow of her broad-leaved palm Beside her cottage.door ; while on the seat Of.daisied turf the freakish kitten play'd Its antics, and o'erheadiin wicker cage, The„captive blackbird chanted his clear song.

NORWICH, 210100L1C.CIttCUI — T-..IIORWICH, Amur it. . . Before Mr. Justice Hoaxers. Mary Hervey, aged 86 years, a sickly and sorrow. stricken looking woman, was put to the bar, charged with having, on the 27th day.OUNcivelmber last, in the l parish of St. Mary s , within the laid. city a wilfully mur dered Edward John liar*, her infant child, by means! of a quantity of laudanum, which the indictment, charged her with having forcibly compelled the said Edward John Harvey to take and swallow down. by means whereof be became sick and distempered, and by, reason whereof he died. The Grand Jory had xeturnedi " No true bill" against the prisoner, and she was put to, the bar. charged. on the inquisition taken before the Coroner, Mr. Wilde. On being placed at the bar and arraigned in the-astral farts, the pronounced the words "Npt Guilt," almost inaudibly, and the Learned Judge immediately ordered her a chair. She seated herself, and seemed to neeclrepoee. The Jury being sworn, Me. Ulnaat:4u, for the pro:aviation, addressed them upon th e circanistancecif theGrinedury having thrown out the bilL They had, he said, no doubt well con . sidered the mridence laid before them, and justly arrived at the conclusion they had come to. The same evidence •on which they had decided Was the evidence, and the _only evidence, on which' be could proceed. He should , ; . therefore, under 'the circumstances, decline to call anyt evidence against the unhappy woman, contenting him 4 self with a question. or two to the burgeon whO examined the dead body' of the child. No poison Was found in' the stomach. Mr. Dalrymple, the surgeon, was called to prove .this, and his evidence was in favour of the prisoner.— . The body was that of a healthy child, and free from •disearie: He had examined the intestines, and therewas no trace of morbid action. There was no appearance of • • primeval or other poison having been received info tbe stomach. lie never saw &body more free from all the known attributable causes of death. • AineAfter this evidence the Learned Judge directed the 12miestandy to acquit the prisoner, and she was dis ed ; and directions were given for an order of re „weal, as we understood, to her own parish. atuttnLanY. Samuel Boding and Jobs Drake, each aged 18 years, • were charged with having, on the night of the 22d of • February last s broke and entered the dwelling-house 4 :Samuel True. of the himlet of Pockthorpe, in tbd county of the city, and with having stolen therefrom pound of coffee, seven pounds of cheese, and penny% spines Ind halfpenny-pieces, to the value of fifteen shil lings, his property. The prosecutor it vtdie to one of the penny-pieces, and one halfpenny : the former because of the octagon shape it had been beaten into, the latter because of a particu+ lar hole in it. A man named Steward was called as a witness, who ststed himself to be Weaver, in the employ of Mr. Wright, of Norwich. He'proved the priidners coming to his honactiesk for sifirer fee the copper, and his wife gave similar testimony. Alf the property Was found bribe constable in the house of Steward, and be was taken to the watchbouse in custody with the prisoners. There a dialogue to k place between one of the pri. sneers, the witness, and a man in custody there for sheep : stealing. The prisoner said .he wished .he could get • clear of this troublesome job, and - he would go for a soldier. He tould get Clear of it if he could only get rid of theirat. Shetpstealer,What hat ? Prisoner --The hat I have on. Sheepsteiler—Change it with that man there (meaning the witness), and then you will be tree. The witness asked what they were talking about, and declined the exchange. As fbr going , for a, soldier, witness said to the prisoner, !6 Well, and if Mt do go for a soldier, you must have a good character. I have hen a soldier, and know ft." (This bat, which was produced, connected itself with the property stolen). • It did not,seem to be imputed to this witness that he . had been concerned with the prisoners in the robbery. One of the prisoners (Drake) received a good eharac jet, but the Jury, after his Lordship bad summed up, re. • turned a.veidict,of Gall e y; and it was intkmaled that they f; • must expilf,'lliiiugh not deotb, jet severe punishment. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—NEWCASTIA Ana. t.

On the 22d of aty, in thaiii*iinit, her servant went out, anSsikslifeely returned, saying that there was a man hirkirlat about - the bonsibstaillse:appeated so be alarmed, and 4j s iddenly, 1 s i;dt *lda Mit: *Partly 'after thete was . s kiiotk at t h e ieffitttli: Inlf -. a Man _came up ,and• asked which was Roam% mho kept a public bonsai illetold hi") • vivre Some tittle lime after chi% she bear siime phibifir pulting out the smiles from the.bak4 of the house, near thelitchen. There wcie no • Ler persons in the hour! butlatme if and de female servant. The men made a great noise at the window, and said that they had not a man in the house, and they Must let him out, or they would break in. She could judge from the voices that there were two men. They said the same thing again. The witness nor her servant did not answer them, but went to the loft, and took ten sovereigns and some notes with them. The men worked on a long time, and at, last got in. The wall was two feet thick. There was a . door that they had to pass from the kitchen to another room. They heard them say, " What, are you gone to bed." One of the men went to the trar.door with a candle, and said if they had any money they must throw it down. It was money they wanted—witness told them that there was 16s. in a desk. The man went—he came back, arid said that he had got that, and that they should go down and get something to eat, and then come back—they came back a second time, and asked if they had any porter. One of them then pro ceeded to break the bands of the trap door. She told them that if they would not ill use them, they would open the trap; they swore they would not ill use them, and they opened the trap do r. One of the men went up, and took the purse. She had put it out of her han.f.— The purse was not thrown down, but jingled. The one that was down called to the other to come away, and give her 21.; he went down, and the curse was thrown back with an old guinea in it. They stayed in the loft half an hour after the men went down, and then they found all the property inihe house disturbed. A silver watch, a gold brooch, silver sugar-tongs, bunch of keys, silk scarf, a black gown, three pair of shoes, and tier articles were gone. She saw the prisoners about three months afterwards; she had no doubt whatever that Trotter was the man who came up to her; she was not so sure about the other prisoner—his voice was very like that of the other man. Trotter was about twenty 20 minutes with her, and was talking all the time. Mr. Bambridge cross-examined the witness, but did not shake her evidence. She said they went into the loft by means of a ladder, and pulled it up after them. She had not a perfect view of the face of Trotter, and the' front of his face was disfigured by something like a cap. Ann Jameson, the servant, confirmed the evidence of her mistress. Thomas Forsyth, on the 22d of April went to Trot ter's house about five o'clock. He was in bed. He toll him that he was one that broke into the house of Miss Townes. He replied that he had been wrongly informed. He then went to a box which the prisoner said was his. In it he found a gold brooch, which the prisoner said was his wife's, and that he bought it in Scotland.— Witness desired the prisoner to say nothing. He then found a silver watch, a black scarf, and other articles, and the prisoner said to his wife, " Hiney, they are going to take all your clothes." A further search was made two days after, and a bunch of keys found and a pair of shoes. On that day be called at Sharp's house, and there he found a pair of shoes on his wife's feet. He tried the keys he found with the locks at Miss Townes', and they all fitted. Miss Townes identified all the property produced, except the shoes, which she was not so certain of. Trotter, in his defence, said that he was never in that house in his life ; that the prisoner, Sharp, sold the arti cles to him, and be had witnesses to proie it. Trottkei sister was then called: She swore that Sharp had sold the articles stolen to his brother, and gave ht r evidence in such a manner as to induce the LeAtned Jtidge to order her to remain inCourt.—Another woman also gave her testimony in a suspicious way, and she was likewise ordered to remain in Court. Sharp, in his defence, said, that his wife bought the shoes, as she told him, for Ss. 6d. Mr. Baron Huta.oce summed up. The Jury retired for a short time, and found Trotter Godly, and Sharp Not Guilty. • Mr. Baron Hum.oce addressed the two women, and told them that he had no doubt but that they had com mitted deliberate perjury. There were some difficulties, and he should suffer them to depart, but they would be liable tb be taken up and prosecuted for their infa mous conduct ; and he cautioned them to take care how they again came into a Court of Justice. Sentence was not passed on Trotter. DURHAM, Ascot 8. SEDUCTION.—KILBURN V. SOWZRBY. `this was a writ of • inquiry executed before John Creiffiths ' Esq. the Under Sheriff. The damages were laid at 5001. Mr. ALEXANDER appeared on the part of the plain tiff. He stated, that this case was one in which he fougln, it the hands of the Jury; some compensation for the injury which had been indicted on his client by the defendant.. It was unfortunate for his client that*, as the law now stood, the only method allowed an in■ jured parent of seeking redress, was through the me. dium of an action like the present, where the clai m sots founded on an alleged loss of service. This..waso however, only necessary to bring the case into tout. When once proof had been given of service being usu ally performed by the daughter,and a lossof that service consequent on the misconduct of the defendant, it was then open for them to take into their consideration the i utrage on a parent's feelings, as well as the disgrace entailed on a fami'y by the course which the defendant had thought proper to adopt. L. was' a part of the form prescribed be.leW in. uch a case as this, and in deed it was iodispeasable, that the unhappy victim of seduction should be produced as a witness before them. This, he submitted; would be an additional reason for increasing the damages they might be disposed to give ; as the greater was .the injury inflicted on the girl—the greater was the disgrace in her being forced to become the historian of her'own disgrace. The plaintiff was a small tardier and a blacksmith, at Elheiley. With the station or fortune of the defendant he was unacquainted. He was, however, be understood, - in good circum- stances. About the commencement of the year 1825, the acquaintknce of the defendant with the daughter of the plaintiff took place. Foe 18 months his attentions to her had beeti constant, and he had, under the guise of knowable addresses, thus procured an opportunity of completing her ruin. She at length became pregnant by him, and of course the father was forced to ekpehd considerable sums of money in her care. These of course would be taken into their consideration in estimating the amount of damages • they would grant the plaintiff. It would perfolOs, be eoniendecf, that because the plain tiff was% person of hatable, rank, he was therefore not eutitled to receive os:{irge a compensation as if he moved in . * higher sphere.. , kile, however, for one, could never subset ite to the monopoly of fine feelings by the higher, orders. There could be no reason for imagining that the cottage might not eontain as much delicacy of feeling as the palace, and he hoped that the Jury would shot!, firtlle•Onsount of the damages they gave his client, the impression which such conduct as that of the deferidait bade on their mind*. He .sought not for vindictive damages, but be hoped for such as would make some compensation for coMpleic . ..dottipensation was in such a case impossible) to dsetplaiusiff for the gross violation - which hii chakiitl.i?, coVort,' and peace of mind bad suffered. ' .• :,1 Margaret Kilburn, a decently dressed and well•look. ing girl, was then placed in the box.. My father lives at Etherley ; he is'a blacksmith,la4cl farms len acres of land; I was fourteen years of age when first I became acquainted with'the defendant; I have two sisters and two brothers ; one of my brahers is a medical man ; my misfortune with the defendant took place eighteen months atter our acquaintance had commenced; the defendant Always came to my father's house when both he and my mother were from home; he sometimes met me going to market ; no other person than the defen dant could by possibility be the father of the child which I had sbbsequently ; the reason why Sowerby did not come to our house while my patents were at home was because he said he was afraid of my mother; the de fendant proMised to marry me about six months after our acquaintance commenced. Cross•examined by Mr. Jov—l had known the de fendant about half a year before our intimacy took place ; I did not tell my mother that he promised to marry me; thought I was too young, and thAt was my reason fur not doing so; I thought my mother would be angry; the defendant came to my father's house twelve times at least ; he did not promise me marriage before my misfortune, but he came a week after, and told me he would marry me ; the transaction took place the first time in a field behind my father's house, at about six o'clock in the evening ; it was not light at the time; it was earlier in the year than• the month of April; I was abort sixteen years old then; the defendant is now about 23; when I first knew him he was about 20; I used to sleep with my sister in the same room as my brother and Williamßootb, my father's apprentice; my brother is married now; when he married, my sister and myself slept in the kitchen ; I knew a man named John Parkinson for about ten years; he never came to see me at my father's house, when he and my mother were from home; I never have known him intimately; I mean to swear the child to the defendant. Re-examined by Mr. ALEXANIDERI do not know when the promise was made, nor at what time of the year it was, but I think it was about the spring; there are only three rooms in my father's house, the icitchen, the parlour, and a room up stairs; my father and mo ther slept in the parlour; I know what the defendant's Counsel meant when lie said intimacy ; the promise was made of marriege a week after that had taken place. George Nesham, a schoolmaster of Etherley, had known the plaintiff and his daughter; the daughter had been in his school during six years ; she always appeared to him a very fine steady girl, and he always considered her character perfectly good; she left his school at the latter end of the year 1823. William Dowson was a farmer at Etherley; knew the defendant, and had, always-understood that he was well to do. He believed the defendant's father farmed his own land. Joseph Dowson bad known the plaintiff and his fa mily about twelve years. and had always found the daughter to be every thing that was agreeable—that was,.every thing that was proper. Mrs. Pattison stated, that the plaintiff's daughter lived servant to her next door neighbour, and she 'bad Always been very decent and•proper. . - Cross-examined by Mr. JOY.—During that time whiCh the witness knew her she had been with child, and she knew she was not married. John Turner proved that the father of the defendant was the owner of property Worth 60i. per annum. • Mr. .TOT addressed the Jury for the - defendant. He submitted that this might be a very proper case for the interference of, a Magistrate by an order of affiliation, but certainly not 'such a one as ought to be brought into a Court of Justice of this description for decision. Notwithstanding the very Magnificent address of his Learned Friend, it did not appear from the evidence in the cause that the defendant• was worth a single far thing. He was, it appealed, living With, and sup ported by, his father. It was quite proper that the Jury should take into their view the injury which the feelings of the parent had suffered; but k *at also proper that they should see whether.the plaintiff had used that caution which the situation and sex of , his child required. Now, here it did not appear that there was utbrja.delicacy in allowing his daughter to sleep in the same room with her brother and an apprentice.- The eloquent. address of his Learned Friend had been painted' rather at their hearts than their heads, but he conceived that this was not the way they ought to p t roceed, in order to forM a correct judgment on the case. He aimed rather too low ; and if, to make use of rather a familiar expression, they carried mote sail than ballast ' —if they trusted tither to the guidance of their hearts than of their heads,*they 'would, most likely, be misled. The Learned Counsel continued: " If we look back at ourselves when we were twenty or twenty-one years Old, I think it will be found that some of the wisest Mining us (Always, of course, excepting my Learned Friend Mr. Alexandei) have been unfortunate 'enough to be too familiar with a young lady. If the defendant here was incorrect, at least the young Lady may be said to' ave met him half way. Look at the place where their fainiltarity first com menced ; not under the decent shelter of a roof—the theatre was a field—the Temple of Cupid, which my Learned Friend, Mr. Alexander, would, I suppose, wish to have the Temple of HyMen, was, I grieve to say it, the lee side of a haystack. Much has been said of the promise of marriage, under colour 'of which, it is as serted, the defendant effected his jidrpdse ; but the girl herself says " that no promise was thought of till' the unhappy event had actually taken place." (he Learned Counsel concluded by contending, that in the present• case, if any damages were given at all, they ought to be merely nominal. ' The UNDM Sncairr summed. up; and • . , The Jury hating retired a few minutes, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, One Hundred; Pounds—Costs, Forty ', • POLICEIWEITSGENCE. • GUILDHALL. Arus Aresswerus, otherwise Osier, an oyster Wermasin Cloth Fair, was charged with assaulting Frances Lally, one of the same -sister. hood.—The complainant said Mrs.-Other came to her premises, and asked if her good-looking husband was at home, as she wanted to give him a little more of what he had tbe.night before (meaning thereby to beat him), for she could have no better fon than to whop a dozen such before breakthst. Complainant told her he was not at home. and that she bad no delimits, quarrel with her; but she then protested that if she Could not pay the husband she would the wife. Complainant eautiobed her net to assault her in her own place, and the defendant immediately knocked ber down tin.. der a beer barrel. The next thing she remembered was, that obi "found herself undressed, and in bed. The defendant, a powerful-looking young woman, said the man had used some ill language to her, and that she had not suss! tht wife till she bad epic in her face. • • The Alderman recommended a reconciliation. • The defendant; however, preferred being committed to the Set. dont, and was committO accordingly. W.STREET. Ham LlCOOntil—Saturday being the day appointed for thb further hearing of Mr. Warmall's petition for a license for thk Strand Hotel, under the recent statute, the Mite was crowded with parties interested in the decision of the question. • The Magistrates on the Bench were—Sir RICHAILD Bram, Mt. HALL* ' Mr. hituannt.t, Mr. Hauano, and Mr. Scrivortuty. On Mt. Bliekniores inquiring whether the Magistrates wete reitlr to proceed with the (linker hearidg of the pvtitio• 2.' Sir RICKAnD BUMS lad Mr. Motu intimated that them beidg 1 ,1 nothing to allege against the house, they had not ibe 'lighten gals jection in granting the license. Mr. Biaeknsore wished to answer loose unfounded imputation that had been thrown oat against Mr. Warmers house by t h e parties that opposed its being licensed. Sir ft. Brans—Oh ! we don't want any speeches. Theseimpa. tations are unsustained, and we• cannot listen to them. Ido n ut think we have any choice, if the house some' within the meaning of the Act. and I am not sure whether it would not be an set e t prudence to throw open the trade altogether. Mr. HALLS thought that there was a discretion vested in the Magistrates, if it were shown that the house seeking a license soy one of an improper character. Mr. Truett wished to show that the house was opened as a common coffee-shop and eating-house. Mr. Hams—l do not see why persons frequenting a common eating house shbuld not have common drink with their meat. The Magistrates being unanimously of the same opinion, d ie license was ordered to issue. D. Be.atey, a shaver, in Ship-yard, was charged by the with. officers of St. Clement Danes, with causing Harriett Plumb to. pronece a miniature likeness of himself. " I 'Awn," said the d e .; fenclinti n that that ere child is mine, your Worship ; and g wanted its mother to let me make au honest woman of her ; ka t she said she wouldn't, and so the poor little innocent has been bo w a bastard; once, after she got in the family way, I got her to les the banns be published; but when the time came to go to church, she. absolutely refused to stir a peg, although I took her out of the streets two years before, and treated her in the best way I could .* —"And you are willing to marry her now r. demanded the Magi . ate.—" Willing ! " said the defendant," why, yes, I am; but she 'won't consent.—Why will you not marry him?" inquired die Magistrate.—" Because I. do not like to be tied down, and beside' our tempers are different."—" You know, Harriet, how see m , modating I am," said the defendant.—" Aye, indeed I do," re. plied Harriet; "and therefore I'll have you on no terms." The Magistrate being unable to procure any adjustment of Ike matter, ordered the man to pay three drillings, and the wont*** shilling a week towards the child's support. M A RY-LA-130 NN E. Sarah and Martha, servants to Mr. W. of North Rink, Regeuti' s Park, were placed at the bar, when Mrs. W.: stated, that cant the morning she heard a man's yoke in Sarah's room, to which* hastened, but could not gain adttaittance. She then alarmed th e watchman, who had previously seen a man escape from the gw. den. On forcing Sarah's door the impression of two persons was seen in the bed, wblch she accounted for by saying Martha bag passed part of the night with her, and thisifilartha confirmed; he unfortunately for poor Sarah, some wine glasses and (ragman, of plum-cake were visible, and a man's watch was also found under her pillow, and a coat and braces under the window. What r e ,. dered the case more important was. that the wine cellar had bed broken open, and several bottles were missed. The girls brought forward a coachman, who proved, that some days ago be caged upon the girls and treated them with a bottle of wine and seen plum-cake, and bring about to go to Ireland, he left his watch wick Sergi as a keep-sake. The Magistrate did not toiwider it was a ease for prosecution, bat in discharging the gifts, said he was sorry they had oat bees able to remove the strong suspicions against them. HA'TTON-GARDEN. Saturday Irtllians and Ann Catty, husband and wife, were charged with robbing a Gentleman, named Hughes, of his watch, chair, and seals, a silver snuff box, a silver purse, containing some mosey, a pair of trousers, and other articles of property. The prosecutor met the female at a late hour on Sunday night last; and being a little in liquor, he consented to go home with her. On awakening in the morning, he found that his trousers, and the other articlesof property mentioned above which it contained, had been taken await A young man, named Francis Curtis, was apprehended upon qrs• picion of being concerned in the robbery. He however cleared himself, but inculpated the male prisoner, who be stated came to his lodgings and asked him to pledge a watch, which he did, tad afterwards wanted him to do the same by a silver snuff boa, Math be declined, suspecting all was not right. The prisoner then pledged it himself; and also, according to his account, chapged a pair of trousers with a Jew theaame day. Carey confessed he was gaiky of the robbery; but his wife and the witness Curtis were both innocent.—The prisoners were committed. WORSHIP-STREET. Mr. Moore, landlord of the Bell and Crown, was suisimeoci Jeffery, a pas tel, who proved that about one o'clock on Wedtwo Ay morning he saw fop or six persons come front his house, where they had been served with liquor. Mr. Moore stated that they were brought to-the house by the watchman of the beat. The watch man said the men tame up to him and said, " Charley, can weget any thing to drink r and he showed them to the Bell and Crown. The Magistrates censured the watchman, but said his improper conduct did not excuse the defendant, whom he fined lOs. and costs. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Saturday Hiviiamt was charged with deindling. Friday disk ing - a woman who bad been seduced by him, was charged with having obtaine4 some bonnets from Mr. Hopton, of Oalotdotten, on a note which purported to be signed by Mr. Hopiiitinit, the banker.
