LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 5. THE . ICING V. THE PARISHIONERS OF GREAT MARLOW. Thu was an indictment at the instigation of the Ma gistrates of the county of Buckingham, against the parishioners of Great Marlow, for not keeping the bridge in repair. This trial lasted the greater part of the day, during which witnesses were examined, and records produced, to show that the inhabitants of Great Marlow had been in the habit of keeping the bridge in repair. Lord TENTERDRN charged the Jury, who returned a verdict in favour of the defendants. This decision makes the expense of building a new bridge (about 3,00014 fall on the county at large, and not on the parishioners. JARRIN V. ZLLIOTT AND SABINE. Mr. CAMPBELL, Mr. DENMAN, and Mr. HUTCHINSON, for the plaintiff; Sir J. SCARLRTT, Mr. BROUGHAM, and Mr. LoNosLow, for the defendants. The plaintiff, Mr. Jarrin, was a native cf Italy, but had, for thirty years of his life, devoted himself to the service of the English public. He was an eminent con . fectinner in New Bond-street. The defendants were members of the Horticultural Society, and did not deny their general liability, but only objected to the amount rit the plaintiff's demand. In the early part of 1827, the Committee of the Horticultural Society, of which the defendants were members, resolved to give a grand public breakfast, at their gardens at Chiswick, and the `23.1 of June was fixed upon as the day of the entertain- I 'Lent. Advertisements were then published, announcing that the tic krts were to be one guinea each. The next step taken by the Committee was to send round a circular among the most celebrated confectioners, and among the test to the plaintiff, desiring him to send an estimate to the Committee of the rate at which he was prepared' to contract for furnishing a cold collation, consisting of meat, fowl, ham, &c. &c: &c. for 1,000 or a greater number of persons, at so much per head ; and likewise tea and wines for the same number of persons. The plaintiff made his calculations, and on the 25th of May sent a letter to the Committee, informing them, that after a careful estimate, he was satisfied that he could furnish a proper collation of cold meat, ham, fowl, &c. at 17s. a head ; wines at 2s. per head, and ices at Is. per head, making in all 20:. per head. This, however, did not suit the purposes cf the Committee, who wanted to obtain a sum out of the prices of the tickets, for the objects of the charity, and they sent Mr. Linley, one of their mem ben, to the plaintiff, and he stated, that what they wanted was merely a lunch, and that for that lunch 121. a Bead was amply sufficient. Upon this the plain tiff, understanding that the entertainment was to be on a much lower scale than he at fir,t imagined, wrote to the Committee, offering to furnish the provisions and wines at 12s. per head ; and on the 30th May the Corn niittee wrote their letter of acceptance, which completed she contract. They intimated that they expected about 2,000 people. The day arrived—the weather was fine - and gteat crowds rushed into the gardens, to the num. bet altogether of 2,843 people. Ices began to be served at twelve o'clock ; the more substantial viands were set ved at a quarter 'before three o'clock, till six o'clock, and no complaints were heard ; but the company con tinued to arrive from twelve at noon till eight in the evening, and they appeared to expect a splendid feast, . . instead of the coliatiOn for which the plaintiff contracted. The plaintiff had amply fulfilled his contract ; and his claim, at 12s. a head, for 2,843 people, was 1,7051.165. Of this sum the Committee, on the llth, paid 1,0001. and promised to pay the residue, but they afterwards refused to pay, and the plaintiff brought his action, and then the defendants paid 3004 into Court, leaving 4051. 16s. still due. This sum was due by the contract, but even it there had been no contract, more than this would be due, even on a foardum ',remit. This he would prove, and then he would be entitled to their verdict. It was allowed that 2,845 persons were admitted to ,the breakfast on the 23d of June, 1827. The letters forming the contract were put in and read. Leonard Cousins, who, on the 23d of June, 1827, was a servant of the plaintiff, was then called, and proved the furnishing of the different articles. Richard Jackson, a wine merchant, at'ended at the breakfast to assist the plaintiff: the supply for the break. fast was very abundant. He continued at the gardens until past nine o'clock : he saw no deficiency, and beard no complaint of a want of provisions and wines till late in the evening, after the 'destruction was finished (for many drank lodate mote like Goths and Vandals than ordinary eaters and drinkers): the waiters co iducted themselves remarkably well, except one man, who, at a - late hour, was very drunk. Several other witnesses, principally waiters, were called, who gave similar evidence. Sir J. ScattLetr, for the defendants, did not dispute their liability to pay the plaintiff what was really due to him; but thought it their duty to resist an unreason able demand. The defendants had guaranteed to the plaintiff an attendance of 2,000 persons, and he ought to have provided for a great many more, as was usual on these occasions; for, although there should be a sur plus of provisions and wines, that was nr t lost. But the plaintiff bad limited his supply to 2,000 people, and even for that somber he had provided very ill, and en der, these circumstances the contract had been broken; but the Committee were still willing to allow him at the rate of 12s. per head for 2,000 people, which was 1,2001. - They had paid 1,0001. and instead of the other 2001. had paid 3001. into Court, in order to be sure to be beyond the mark; and he would show that this was very ample remuneration for such a collation as the plaintiff furnished, which might be called a fast rather than a feast. John Linley, Assistant Secretary of the Horticultoral Society, waited op the plaint-fff in consequence of his previous tender. The sum of 12s. a bead was agreed on, and the Committee mentioned to him that the num ber might be about 3.000; but they would guarantee 2.000 ; and he promised that he would prepare abun dance of substantial provisions for 3,000 people. The Honourable Frederick Byng was at the fete of last year before three o'clock, with a party, and they got something, btu his party were net satisfied; he went away with that party, and returned again after the scramble, to get something more for himself, along with others who had got nothing, and there was nothing to be bad except bones of ham nearly picked, and scraps of bread, to which the company wtto were along with him were not accustomed; there was not provision for one half of the company ; be was in the habit of attend. ing public breakfasts ; never saw any so bad as this,' except one, and that was from an accident. G. Frost, Esq. John Wood, Esq. M.P. for Preston, a n d Mr. Brookes, the anatomist, gave a similar account of the scarcity of every thing but ices. Many of the ♦isiters were also called, who proved that there was not more provisions than enough for two-thirds of the company. Robert Gonter, confectioner, had seen the bills of the fete of 1827 ; there was enough of bread for 2,000 per ; the wines were not sufficient for that number; • he was himself at the fete of 1827, and as far as the provisions met his eye they were not sufficient. The plaintiff was a man of talent in his way. The tout ensemble of the fete was good. Witness had 14s. per head for the fete of this'year ; there was abundance of provisions and wine left this year, alter all the company were satisfied. Lord TENTERDEN left it to the Jury to say whether 1,300/. the sum paid by the defendants, was enough for such an entertainment as the plaintiff had supplied. Verdict for the defendants. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, GUILDWALL, Jura. S. Sittings after Trinity Term, before the LOAD Cuter Juane' and a Common Jury. RIDDELL N. THOMAS. This was an action by Mrs. Riddell, who is the widow of Colonel Riddell, late of the East India Company's service, to recover 14/.6x. the amount of certain expen ses which she had been put to in consequence of the alleged neglt ct of defendant's servant. The defendant is a scavenger, and on the 13th of December last,while Mrs. Riddell was proceeding in her carria g e along the Kingland•road, towards her country seat at Enfield, one of his carts, under the care of a boy ssho was riding on the foie horse, was driven with such violence against the lady % carriage, that one of the shafts was forced completely through the panels, and a portion of it broken off. The accident appealed to have arisen in consequence of the defendat is shalt horse, which was blind, having started at the sound of some street music; but it was contended, that if the boy had attended pipped) , to hii duty, by wa:king instead of riding, the accident could never have happened, and it was there fore in s isted that the defendant WAS liable. Witnesses were called, who fully established the case. Vor the defendant it was contended, that the accident had arisen from the neglect of the plaint.ff's postilion, and not from want of care on the part of the boy, who was with the defendant's cart; and several witnesses were called, who swore that he hid the command of the horses as completely while on the back of the leader, as he would have had if he had been walking by their side. It was also sworn that the carriage was crossing on the wrong side of the road. The Jury, however, not crediting these witnesses, re. turned a verdict for the plaintiff —Damages 14.1.65. OLD BAILEY, JULY .. j - -••• . • • - OLD COURT. William Bull, aged 30, and William Smith, alias Cox, aged 30, men of respectable appearance, were indicted for stealing, on the 19th of February, from the Houn slow Post Office, twenty-nine mail bags, the property of his Majesty. The ATTORNEY GENERAL stated the case to the Jury. It was usual for the country mail,when proceeding to London, to stop at Hounslow, when a window was raised up, that the bags for that post might be thrown in. About six o'clock the first coach generally calls, and in less than an hour the last of them passes; twenty nine bags were missing shortly after, when a ladder, and the Newbury bag, were found in the street. The ladda was identified as one that was seen at the lodg ings of the prisoner Bull. A key that had been stolen from the Coach and Horses public-house that morning, was found in the possession of Smith. • Many witnesses were•examined. Mr. Justice BUR RouGu then summed up be evidence with great perspicuity, after which the Jury retired for a few minutes, and rrtorned a verdict of Not Guilty. .NEW COURT. Jane Smith, aged 17, a young girl of respectable ap pearance, was indicted for stealing a watch, value 18s. the property of John Tehbutt. The prosecutor, a stout-built, }warty-looking old man, stated that he was a brick-maker, and lived at Ken sington. On the mottling of the 16th of June he Went out early, leaving the watch in question hanging over his mantle piece. Oa his return home it was gone. The prisoner's sister was in the habit of coming to his lodgings to make his bed. lie suspected the I.risoner, and charged her with the robbery, which she imme diately confessed, and told him where the watch was; he then sent for an °dicer, and gave her into custody. The pi isoner, on being asked it she wished to put any questions to the witne.s, slid, that her sister lived with him as his wife, and that she gave her the.. atch to take to be repaired; that she took it accordingly, and left it with a watchmaker ; she did not sell ir, or obtain any money on it. • The prosecutor was recalled, and Mr. Sergeant ASASIN asked him if the prisoner's sister lived with him a% his wife? Witness—What, live with me. my Lord—an old man like me— it's all nonsense. I don't want any such hussey—l had rather have a shoulder of mutton at any time. Mr. Sergeant ARAZIN—Tben you never lived with her? Witness.—No; and I'll swear to the truth of what I have said through the thickest door in Newgate. Mr. Sergeant Asaatx—Have you ever been in a Court of Jus tice before? Witneu—l know what you mean ; I'm " down" to you ; hut I'm ad honest, a man as any in the world, and I defy the world when I leave this place, to call after me " Stop thief !" Sergeant A saint—Have you never been at Cie: kenwell? Witness—What, you want to make a thief of me whether or no; but k won't do—k's no go. lam quite surprised at you, my Lord, "axing these ere questions ;" L thought you had known better—(Roars of laughter). Mr. Sergeant AllAlUN—Were you ever at Clerkenwell—you know what I mean ? Witness—lf you come to that, I was there once for " face making" (bastardy) but that is a matter of forty years ago— (renewed laughter)—You will make me quite angry with you, if you go on in this ere way. You want to make me out a thief ; l'U at any body if I look like a thief. Sergeant Musa—Have none of your family gene abroad at the expense of Government? Witness—lts an extraordinary family that has neither a wh—e nor a thief in it.—None of my children ever went to eat old bulls at Woolwich, or wherever it is you send 'em to. Mr. Sergeant Against—You may stand down. Witness—l am glad of it. Thomas Young, a watchmaker proved that the prisoner left the watch with him to be tepaired. She did not ask fur any money on it. The Jury immediately expressed themselves satisfied, and ac quitted the prisoner. The prosecutor, as he was leaving the Court said, I had rather work bard for twenty-four' hours than be in such a queer place ' as this for five minutes." CURIOUS CASE OE RIGAIIY. The following case excited an uncommon degree of attention, owing to the ingenious objections raised by the pr ironer. _ John Trott, aged 37, was indicted for unlawfully marrying Mary Whitten, his former wife, Sarah, being then living. There was' a second indictment, charging him with marrying Elizabeth Sims. The prisoner, when brought up in the morning to plead and make his challenges, expressed his determi• nation to challenge every Juror who was impanelled to try him, because he had heard thatthey were composed of parochial officers, and it had been communicated to, hies that the officers of.the s parish (St: .eonard, , Stiore ditch) who prosecuted, had repassed a determination to convict him, should the expense be 5001. The CoMMoN SICRONANT then told him he was mis• taken; but the prisoner actually charged the Jury en masse. In consequence of which he was removed from the bar. When the COMMON SIMORANT entered the Court in the evening, be Ordered the prisoner .to be again put to theist... The prisoner said, that if he was assured that the Gentlemen "then in the box were not parish officers of Shortditch or any of the adjoining parishes, he would not object to either cf them. The Foreman of the Jury told the prisoner that they all lived in a distant part of the metropolis from that he had named; upon which he replied, a Very well; then I'arn ready_to take my trial." Mr. PazanaaoasT then stated the case for the pro secution, and called the following witnesses: Thomas Ousley, the parish clerk of Thorncomb, in the county of Devon, was desired to produce the register; of marriages in that parish, and point nut whether. on the 21st of December, 1819, a man of the name of John Trott married one Sarah Stevens. The witness produced the record called for. Witness would not swear that the prisoner was the same John Trott, all he knew was, that John Trott married one Sarah Stevens, and Sally and her mother were in Court to prove it—(A laugh). I'l6(4:el . —My Lord, why should Sarah Sevens he called int t question ? I cannot, surely, be indicted flu marryiqg het,..laecatse she wasiny first, and therefore my lawful wife. COMMON SERGEANT-..You are not indicted for mar rying &evens, but for having married crtner women, .she being yet alive. isoner—Very good, my Lord. Sarah Prout, the mother r•f Stevens, the prisoner. first wife, proved the hymeneal knot being tied; and, said the matron, "every thing was very comfortable .the next morning"—(Laughter). Wm. Low, the parish clerk of Speen, in Berkshire, produced the register c•f the parish, which priived that 'the prisoner, whom he knew very well, was married to .the prosecutrix on the 26th of February. 1824. • The prisoner then commenced his defence, the lan guage of which, forming so great a contrast with his rustic garb, excited unusual attention. • Hi said, that he was quite conscious that he had done wrong, and that he would have pleaded guilty in the morning, and saved the time of the Court, but he wished to take his trial in order that his case might be a warning to others, who through ignorance might fall into the same error. Until he was working at Brighton last year, and heard a Gentleman was committed to pri son for having two living wives, he never knew that plu rality was an offence. He was now well convinced that he had broken the laws of the King, and had also greatly offended the DIVINE MAJESTY. The Court, he trusted, would attend to what he was about to state. In 1807, he entered the army as a private, arid was more than six years in Spain, Portugal, and France. (The pri soner enumerated the conflicts in which he had been engaged, which amounted to near twenty). He finished his military career at the battle of Waterloo, and re tired from his Majesty's service with a fractured head, and it was to that cause he might attribute his present misfortune: he had this consolation, however, that by his good conduct, he was promoted from a private to a serjeant. He was well convinced that he had done ♦ery wrong, yet he hoped the services he bad rendered his country, and the physical injuries he bad sustained, would be considered in a mitigatory point of view, when the sentence should be passed upon him.—The Jury immediately found the prisoner Guiky. • SECOND INDIcra►IENT.—The prisoner ,was then in dicted lor mart ying Elizabeth Sims, at Rom ey, in the County t Southampton, on the 26th of Febt nary, 1824. his wife Sarah being Jet living. This indictment was fully proved by the register and the oral testimony of Elizabeth, Sims. The Learned Judge then called Sarah Trout, who stated that her dauehter had t!iiee children by the pri soner, but shP thanked GOD they were all dead. Elizabeth Sims said, that the prisoner tarried with her but a •et y little time atter lie 'untried her—she had no child by him. Mary Whitten, a handaome intelligent Komar, absut thirty years of age, st,ted, that when she married the prisoner at Speen, she t a shop there, and was in good citcumAances, although left a widow with two child:en. The prisoner wined out idle and dissolute, and lived upon her property; and, in fact, she sea, completely ruined, and driven horn the place, and obliged to lake refuge in a Lady's family, where she lived as a servant. One Sunday the prisoner requested her to lend him the watch, which was hequeathed to her f int (had by tits late fatl.er, for the purpose of going clicently to Church. Site foolishly let him have it, and hr went olf. The Common SERGEANT having remarked that his object ss as to acertain the amount of injury sustained, the Jury, under his direction, again returned a verdict of Guilty. The l> ink of Svairrl; - ::lsgriiiied a pension to Lady Downie, widow of the late Gcneral Sir JOHN Downie, in cnnsidera don of !di gallant conduct and services. Wednesday afternoon. as several boys were bathing in a place called the Marsh-pond, at Rorherhithe, one of them, a fi.re lad, named Michael Cockrell, was seized with the cramp. and before assistance arrived he sunk, and was drowned. Another boy, named White, was drowned the same day in the Surrey-canal, while bathing. He went into the water by himself unper ceived ; and his mother, surprised at his long absence from home. proceeded to the canal. on the banks of which she found his clothes. Soon afterwards the body of her son was taken out cf the water. Life was extinct. In early life the Rev. ROWLAND HILL, travelling in his carriage over Hounslow Heath, was stopped by a highwayman, who demanded his money. The Rev. Gentleman immediately assented ; but with his usual self possession and good humour, entreated a few moment: previous parley, which the highwayman granted. Mr. HILL then requested to be informed if he was driven to this pursuit by necessity, or if he fol lowed it as a regular profession? The trembling culprit answered, " dire necessity." " Then," replied the Rev. Gentleman\ " perhaps you would rather follow a mo re honourable pursuit ?" " Yes, most cheerfully," said the man. " Give me your entire confidence," said Mr. H. telling the man his name," and I will keep your secret." He did this—the man was taken into Mr.l-11•Les service as a domestic, where, from a very humble station, he was gradually advanced to the highest post in the Rev. Gentleman's establishment. This man remained it!' Mr. HILL'S house upwards of forty years. When he died, Mr. HILL preached his funeral sermon, and then, for the first time, divulged all the particulars of his' servant's lite, who had become a vety sincere Christian. As there are no highwaymen now, we can repeat the anecdote without tear of tempting any of our readers to choose their servants from the clerks of St. Nicholas. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUIT.DITALL Francis Screwy was charged upon suspicion of stvaling a pocket book. John Holland, a street-keeper of St. Andrew's. Maoris stated, that on Friday evening, he heard a cry of " Stop thief—he has Thy pocketbook !" on Holborn-bridge, and at the same Instant he saw the prisoner and two companions run down Fleet:m.orket. Witness seized the prisoner, hut his accomplice. escaped. There were hats silk handkerchiefs In the prisoner's bat, but he had nut any pocktt ' book about him. Witness called Fairclii!d. at watchman. to his as. sistance, and when they had led the prisoner back to Holhorn•bridgi, in attempt at rescue was made by a gang of at least thirty thieves. Witness's and prisoner's hats were knocked off, and both carried away. The watchman was beaten, knocked down, and kicked while on the ground; but witness maintained his hold of th e pri s on e r un t il further assistance arrived. the Gentleman who gave the alarm went away before he returned with the prisoner, but he had two witnesses to prove that be had picked a Gentleman's pocket of a handkerchief, on Thursday evening. 7he Gentleman in this in stance had also walked away to avoid prosecuting. The prisoner was the bead of a daring gang, which had infested the spot for some time. picking pockets in noon day, in the most impucent manner. The last time he had the prisoner in custody, his mother attempted to stab witness in the back as he was conveying him to the watch. house. Fairchild, the watchman, magnified the number of their assailants into 100. After he was thrown down he seized the prisoner's leg, and keeping a firm hold, in the attempt to pull the prisoner away, witness was dragged along the ground, half across the carriage way. Mr. Alderman Thompson said, in order that the prisoner might meek his deserts, he would remand him until Wednesday, for the purpose of obtaining- the evidence of the Gentleman who had been robbed. Tw• lads were committed to Bridewell for attempting to pick pockets In ass crowd at the execution on Friday morning. MABLBOBOUGH-STREET. • Abet Stroll/a, with an infant at her breast, was charged with committing a robbery at Mr. Hobday's, in Pall-malL It appearel that about silt 'mks ago a Mr. Benyon and his sister took apart ments at' Mr. Hobday's, and engaged the prisoner as conk. Let Week Mi. and bliss Benyon left town for their seat in Yorkshire. On arriving at home Miss Benyon missed several valuable tr riktits and a quantity of ber brother's wearing appar:l, &c. Mr. Bair n initantly wrote ko a Gentleman, who made those inquiries which occasioned the apprehension of the prisoner by an officer, who 0 . 4 entering her spat tments observed a young woman with a bundle in her hand, which had been given to her by the priwner, and which was found to contain a gold brooch, a Veltet waistcoat, and tub e r articles. The prisoner's bonnet was decorated with home fashiuna. Dle ribands which had been stolen from Miss lietiyun.—She was remanded. Friday a,young fellow, named Green, was charged with obt.h. Ing money by false pretences from the Marquis of Worcester. oe Wednesday evening the Noble Marquis was accosted by the pri:. toner, as he was coming out of his house, in Park.place. He said he bad served his time at sea, and bad just arrived from the Duke of Beaufort's seat, near Bristol, where Lady Frasier. Somerset itsd desired him to apply to his Lordship for pecuniary assistance. The prisoner added, that when he was a boy, the Marquis hail' recum. mended him to the Blue Coat School. Ile gave the prisoner half a crown, but he was not satished with that sun), and wished to have sufficient money given him to enable him to join the Superb, at Plymouth. The Marquis, however, refused to give him more, and as he was entering the house of the Dowager Duchess of Rei land be met the prisoner, who said he bad been desired by him (the Marquis) to ask for 7s. 6d. The prisoner was then given into custody, but not until he had made a great resistance. Be was sent for three months to the House of Correction. Thursday Howe, a masori employed on the new London Bridge, fell from a scaffold, fourteen feet high, upon an iron bar, by ss hich his spine was broken, and he was conveyed to the hospital in a hopeless state. Sunday se`noight, the shop of Mr. Abrahams, silver. smith, of Leeds, was broken into and robbed of plate, 'watches, and jeweller y i to the amount of several hundred pounds. Tuesday night a fire broke out in the premises of Messrs. bard, was and tallow chandlers, in the market place, Bromley, Kr' t. The file broke out on the ground floor of the melting house, in consequence, as was sup posed, of the furnace having been too highly heated, which caused the fat in the copper to boil over. 'lr. Isard, jun. made an effort to phi tier the fire, by heaping mould upon it, but his exertions proved ineffecteal.—. Front the nature -of the building itself, and the con►- bu:tible matter which it contained, it may be imagined that the flames raged with great fury. Unfortunately there was but one engine in the village, and that was out of repair, such a calamity not having occurred in Bromley within the recollection of the oldest inhabi ant. Engines soon afterwards arrived from London, bu , a very scanty supply of water could he obtained for ti em, and the flames communicated to five houses, occur e by poor working people, which were destroyed. The fire was so far got under at twelve o'clock as to do arv.,y any apprehension of future danger. Yesterday morning the fire again broke out; but water having been ot tained from the Bishop of Rochester %, at a considerable distance, the conflagration was stopped. FROM FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
