LAW iNrEELIaE.vCE. COURT OF ICING'S BENCH, JANUARY 8. WILLIAMS V. MULLING& This action was brought torecOver the som of 12,0001. alleged to be lent by the Hope Insurance Company, of which the plaintiff is the Chairman, to a Gentleman concerned , in the East India trade. It'appeared, that w bile the delendanCwas absent from elk country, the sum . in question was raised by:Mrs. .Mullings and others, to whom he had given a power of attorney on the faith of a mortgage, %%Incli_be ultimately refused to execute. • The Lon. CHIEF JUSTICE held that a power of at 7 tprney did not authorise an agent to borrow money; bat the plaintiff relied on letters of the-defendant to spew that he had recognized the loan, and _applied the.pro ceeds to his own use. • The detente, besides the denial of the recognition, was founded on the circumstance of the defendant hay-, 'rig , partners, who ought to have been joined in the ac-, tion. It was, however, contended that this loan was an ' individual transaction, and also that the defence was precluded by an order of. Mr. justice Holroyd, made on •the amendment of the pleadings. Payments, reducing the claim to 8,0081. were also proved.• The Jury, under the direction of the LORD CHIEF lusTtCE. found a verdict for the plaintiff for 8,0081. sub ject to the opinion of the Court on the points of law re lied on by the Counsel for the defendant. • 1 SHERIFFS COURT, JANUARY 8.

This was an appeal From a conviction before a Magis trate against the defendant, for causing a projection to be elected in Half-moon•street, which impeded the cir culation of light and air, contrary to the provisions of the Street Act. The projection complained of occupied the spa ce over the area between the footway' and the !abuse, and 'Obstructed the light and air which would othervriie go into the area. The 4efendint received no tice fiom the Surveyor of the Parish when he seas ing the projection, that it was illegal. It was contended by Mr. Conwocmi Om the ilgtrend ant had a right to build upon his.own freehold, so Wog. as he did not encroach upon the public street. With re spect to the rays of light, it was always understood that they issued in parallel lines ; the doctrine of the "-chess /alien" of rays of light, therefore, discovered by the mo dern philosophers who had framed this Act, led him to expect that they would next invent a patent lamp for giving light round a corner. The Learned Gentleman contended that private . property could not be made sub ject to the operation of the Act of Parliament ; and called a witness, who stated that he had known this street for fifty years ; the place complained of wits always en: , chased, and there was not now A greater projection than had been there previously to tlie.alteration. The eniiitatAtt Coniiitnedthe'cOnviction; no answer had been givenio thelegarpirt'Of the case: and with, the injury that might be done to private property he had nothing to do. Mr. eURWOOD.—Then we mast go to Parliament for relief: we cannot subtpit to this. The Old Bailey Sessions commence on Wednesday. A Gentleman at present at Portsmouth, last from Gibraltar, states, that on the sth ult. the rrport in the garrison was, that the peasant who caused the appre hen6on of Itutod had been put to death on the 12th. A confirmation of the report was brought, with the ad dition, that others of the family had also been put to death, and that the bodies were fauna nailed to the hacks of different doors of their dwellings, with their throats shockingly cut. It is stated in-a private letter from Paris, dated - itm Monday last, that a Spanish cabinet Minister had ar rived in that capital on the e r e cedin g day, bringing a formal application to the Allied Powers, to become nne diators between Spain and her late Colonies. MELANCHOLY CONFLACRATION.--THeSday morning the premises of Mr: Bennett, the George Inn, Ratcliffe; were discovered by_the watchman to *be, On fire.

Thomas Lonny, apparently a mere child, the leader of,a gang' of young thieves, was put to the bar and in dicted for havinz-Atolen a waisteoat.piece, the property of Thomas Bell, a tailor, of NO. 99, Tooley-street. The prosecutor stated. that his shop-window had been broken on the 19th of September, and, the waislcoat piece dragged through it. There was a large gang *pf infantine thieves in the neighbourhood. The son of the prosecutor stated that he heard a noise at the window, and saw the prisoner and another boy drawing the waistcoat through a hole in the window. Witness laid hold Of both boys, but the prisoner es caped, and carried off the waistcoat-piece in triumph. other boy was convicted last Session. The prisoner looked steadily at the prosecutor, and, to the surprise of every one in Court, acted as Counsel far himself in the following manner : Prisoner.—Now, young man, are you sure T am the person who took the waistcoat-piece, as you call It? Virtiess, I ant sure of it. Prisoner.—How could you know the difference between me and others? Witness.—l know you well. Prisoner.-1 ran, I suppose? Witness.—You did. Prisoner.—And which way ? Witness.—Down Magdalen-street. Prisoner.—And you lost sight of me? Witness.-1 did. Prisoner.—Now tell me, when did you next see me? Witness. --On the 11th of October, Prisoner.—And you know me after all that time! How often did you see me before the robbery, pray ? Witne:s.—Never. Prisoner.—So you knew me after all that time ? No, no ; you , could not. I have nothing more to ask you. Another lad was then called, and he confirmed the evidence of the preceding witness. The RECORDEM—Prisoner, do you wish to ask this witness any questions ?—Yes, my Lord, and I'll tell who he k too. This fel low has been indlect - ttp for a felony, and his word ought not to be taken. I hope the Jury won't mind him. The Itecosnes.—ls that true, witness? Witness.—lt is, my Lord, the case ; and I suffered the laws of my country. I was int ,l prisoner, a-week and five days in Horsemonger-lane jail. The IlEcoansa.-1 am happy to see that you have reformed, and that you have been for three years a most industrious honest lad? .Prisoner.—He has been up .though, and his word-is good for nothing. A labouring man said, that he saw the prisoner and his convicted companion amongst a set of desperate young thieves, lurking about the prosecutor's premises; on the night of the robbery, and frequently cautioned them to be gone. • 111mm:wt.—Wm you ask this man any questions? Prisoner.— I say, you say that you saw me ! What do you know of me, eh ? Witness. —Nothing good. Prisoner.—Oh dear, don't you? Then you may go down. You know nothing had. • The limo/tom—Prisoner, now is the time for your defence. .Prisoner.—Why, my Lord, what I have to say is this—As I was a going along Vinegar-yard, I saw some boys looking in at that 'ere Gentleman's shop, so I stood to see what the) was a'ler iso one on ens pulls out a bit of a waistcoat-piice. He was a bad un, to'be sure, and he goes off Land then these here Gentlemen, you see, takes hold of me; but I knotoed nothing about it. The RECOIDEL-13.aie you any witnesses? Prisoner. Why, I believe not, at present. (Looking about.) John Gammon, a fishmonget, said he had known the little boy, who was very wild, ahhough his friends were respectable. The Itccoazica. —lt would have been better for you, Sir, to have stayed at home than to come here ' to injure the boy's character when he wanted assistance. • A verdict of Guilt was returned. The Recoanxit.—Now, prisoner, the best thing Ican do for you is to send you out of this country ; and I hope you will tell all the wicked boys you meet, that nothing better can be expected by those who act as you have done.

The prosecutor stated, that on die 2d' of October, he had an or - delta-take some prioners from the Town hall to the Compter. It was the practice to chain all who were ordered to prison together in a string for the greater security. The prisgner, won being called upon, on a charge of assault, to join the band, refused to allow himself to be chained to . the other prisoners, and when the necessary compulsion was resorted to, cried out that he was no.felon, and would not be chained to felons, and he therefore kicked witness, and shook..his nit at him. Assistance was lot timid) procured,, and the pri siiiier was then put on the chain and handcuffed. Another officer confirmed this statement, and de scribed the very extraordinary objection the prisoner had to be put on the chain. A constable named John son, however, effectually linked him to the other pri soners, and he was. lodged in the Compter. The prisoner, in his defence, said, he had never com mitted an offence which should subject him to the dis grace of being chained to common felons,.and dragged through the streets ; and he naturally expressed - his ab horrence of so cruel and unjust a punishment, which must leave an indeiible impression upon the minds of those who beheld the disgraceful cavalcade in the street. He denied having used violence, but admitted that he had used remonstrance. • The RECORDER, in addressing the Jury, observed that the assault was proved. The Jury consulted for a Alton time, and then re- Junked a verdict of Guilty. .• His Lordship made no ohservation upon the degrad ing practice of chaining persons who were cluoged with common assaults with Common thieves, but he. mani fested his disapprobation of it, by telling the defendant, that upon paying a shilling line ke should he discharged.: This practice has been adopted for the accomrnoda. -tinn,of the odice►s, who are in the.habit of deputing one, person to do their business, by. taking charge of a whole Jars Work in a string, as it is called. 440447.Cie R I)2T. :pn" L/CZ .); IPrreten.4emainr 4T ya4urp,-40hot asesfaring Man In apriseenee e was. charged with attempting reohtaie, tai,/itreeits pretences, the sum or 115. of !Mr, Daniel Jones, of attee le . stgeer, Lambeth, tailor, with iment to defraud bins thereat: it appeared, thereat-1y yesterday =riling the prischierneent irta Mr. Ames's shop and looked over scene sailor's clothes, and tole Mi.

Mr. ADOLTIIUs, the barrister, atte on. the part of the three prisoners, but neither the prosecutor nor cis wit ness, whose depositions were taken down at the first examination, made their appearance e and after waiting kconsiderable time, Mr. CoNANT, the Magistrate, ordered the depositions to be handed to Mr. Adolphus, after reading which, that Gentleman contended that there was no evidence on which to commit any of the partici for trial.—Mr. Long, the hotel-keeper cf Bond-street, and Mr. Wil helm, a respectable wine -merchant, among many others, lona forward, and offered themselves as bail. tars Conanv said, that although he had no doubt the evidence was quite strong enough to warrant him in committing Burns, yet .as such respectable bail was offered t aild the prosecutor not comsat forward, he would accept of bail for his appearance. Mr. Long and Mr. Williams then entered into bail, in the sum of £lOO each, and Burns himself in £5OO, and he was dischargeel..—• Evans was ordered to enter into his own recognizance' for £lOO, and Sargeant was discharged without any bail. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS , JAN. 8. Captain Waldron Kelly was indicted for playinf at an unlawful game called' Houlette, and winning of 1 homas Tidmarsh the sum of 8/. and also for an assault upon the said Tidmarsh. A person named IVel,sh was included, in the indictment, but did not appear. Mr. C. PHILLIPS, for the prosecution, stated, that on the 6th of August, 1822, the prosecutor and the two defendants went into the gaming•house, N0: 1 33, Pall mall, whe►e Welsh betted with Jackson, the - croupier and proprietor of the house, until he lost 81. but he having no money to pay his bets with, Jackson refused to bet any more with him ; upon which Welsh seized a stick, and commenced breaking the chandeliers, and beating Jackson about the head, in which he was assisted by Captai❑ Kelly. The prosecutor interposed, -calling out nut to murder the man, upon which he (the prose cutor) was struck, knoCked down, and cut. Thomas Tidmarsh stated, that he had formerly been a cheeemonger, but was not in business now. He kept a public-house in the court behind the Northumberla►id coffee-house a year and a half ago. He had lately sold wine on commission. The witness then spoke to the affray on the night in question, but could not swear to any blows having been Struck by Captain Kelly. Thomas- Morgan, a saddler, gave similar testimony. He did not see the defendant (Kelly) join in the affray. Sacquel Bi.own, a shoemaker, was called, but declined giving evidence until he was paid 7s. a day for his loss of time ) in attending three days. The Learned Counsel, thinking the witness dear at ,seven shillings, would advise his client not to give a guinea for him ; upon which the witness retired. The COURT directed Ihe Jury, as there was no evi dence to convict the defendant, to find a verdict of Not Guilty; which they accordingly did. Mr. Pumurs applied to the Bench for a warrant for Welsh's apprehension. The Cower observed, that they had already estreated his recognizances. A motion for the warrant must be founded on affidavit. In a subsequent part of the day, Mr. ALLEY moved to respite Wehh's recognizances until next Session. He moved, on the affidavit of a Gentleman, who swore that Welsh was then in custody for debt, in Whitecross street prison. Mr. PHILLIPS oppo , ed the motion. The affidavit was not sworn by any of the parties, and Welsh might have come here by Habeas Co►pus. Besides, he had served the prosecutor with notic.e of trial.—Motion refused. The Learned Counsel then moved for a warrant, on an affidavit stating ,the service of the notice of trial, which was granted; but he said that his client would probably be satisfied if Welsh would come forward and take his trial next Session. .~s~.R . , 01101111111•11 UNION-lIALL. AMA Hogan was brought up, charged with having robbed a.child, under the following circumstances: Nonkelaw, the father of the child, who resides in &rtnortd sex New-road, stated, that on Tuesday.morninf, between nine and one o'clock, his little daughter Elizabeth, who is only three years of age, left home for the purpose of atte:tcling a day-school in tha neighbourhood. Between twelve and one o'clock the same da the child was brought home by a boy, stripped if her shawl and gold ear-rings. The boy said a young worn to met hint in Bermond sey-street, and gave him a penny for taking the child home tar her parents. The account the child gave of herself was, that in a few minutes after she left her father's house, a young woman Came lei to ber, gave her an apple, and ta!4 ing ber by the hand led her op an alley out of Bermondsey-street, where she took the ear-rings from her ears, and the shawl from her Lack, anti then went away. The prisoner was apprehended soon, after the robbery, and iden tified by the boy to whims she had given the child in charge, a:l also by the little girl herself. The prisoner in her defence, denied in the most positive manner having robbed the child, but admitted that she had seen bet wan dering about the rOad, when she paid a boy for taking her home, and this boy, she said, must have been the robber. The prisoner was ordered to be searched, and the cancer who performed that duty, discovered the child's gold ear-rings concealed under her garteta.—She was fully committed. DEATHS BY HUNTING. A melancholy accident happened. to Joha F.dwards, Esq. of soe, in the county of Bedford, on Friday the 26th of Decemb..r last, by which he unfortunately lost his life.

Edwards, who was on a very spirited horse, unhappily lost his seat, but still kept fast hold of the bridle, and it is supposed is his exer tions to save himself, that the animal, while strul:gling and plungi: g in the water, struck him on the head with his fore feet, which ' stunned him, through which accident he sunk, acid was drowned. His companions with great difficulty escaped with their lives, and all the horses were rescued. • Mr. Edwards was a mat respectabl e man, and poscssed very considerable property in the county—he has left a widow and eight children to deplore his lamentable fate, and Mrs. Edwards is now far advance 4 in a state of pregnancy.
