MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-THIS DAY. OUTRAGE. • . . ,rAn Assn litson, was put to the bar, charged with a wanto ; s•awk on Miss Julia Harrieon, on the 17th of July last, In the City- Tbe facts of this case were.as follow :—The young Lady, w;:h her brothers and sister, were passing along the City-road, on, their return.home, when the defendant, either purposely or froth accident, pushed against her. The prosecutrix did not at first take any notice of his rule behaviour, but wafted oh some distance, hen the defendant again aime up to her, and committed the assault complained of. The charge wis fully brought home by the respective witnesses, and the Jury found him G u ilty. DARING STREET ROBBERY. Ilenry Thomas Jones was put to the bar on an indictment ebark in him with stealing from the person of a Gentleman named ilmot, a pocket-book, a silk handkerchief, and a pair of gloves, his property, on 16th of August. The prisoner and his cons p3tilons were seen to follow , the prosecutor for a considerable dis tance up Holborn, until he tensed towards lied Lion-square, where they effected the robbery, and ail got away, with the exception of the prisoner.—The charge was fully proved, and he was found Guiky.—The Conti: intimated that in consequence of his former character, he must expect to leave this country. Yesterday, G. Hicks, a solicitor, the Hon. and Rev. E. Finch, and another, were indicted for obtaining 6,0001. of Joseph Wilfred Parkins, under false pretences. The charge arose out of an annuity transaction. The in dictment consisted of several counts, charging the offence in various ways; but the counts upon which it appeared the principal reliance was placed were those which charged the defendants with failing to remove certain incumbrances on the property in question, and orr the, promise of removing which it was alleged the money had been obtained from Mr. Parkins. Mr. Hicks was the only defendant who appeared ; the others, it was said, have never been in this country for some time previous to or since the finding of the in dictment. Mr. Hicks was under bail, and gave notice to the prosecutor of his intention to appear and take his trial. Mr. ALLEY stat ed the case on the part of the prose cution. The defendant, together with the Honourable E. M. Finch,_and another person not present, proposed to Mr. Wilfred Parkins to advance 6,0001. on a certain 'vicarage and rectory in Warwiekshire, which were alleged to be burthened with *slight incumbrance, but which, in reality, never bad existence. Mr. Parkins was ultimately induced to advance 6,0001. in Bank of Eng land notes. On these grounds the prisoner at the bar Was charged with a conspiracy to defraud. Mr. Alley went into a minute detail of the circumstances preced ing and attending . the commission of the offence ; the principal persons charged with the conspiracy were the prisoner Hicks, an attorney, Woollaston, and the Hon. Edward M. l'inch, brother to a Nobleman. The two latter were not in custody. Having explained the nature of the principal charge to the Jury, Mr. Alley proceeded to call witnesses to support his allegations. Mr. Joseph Wilfred Parkins having beets sworn, was asked whether he knew thedefendant Hicks? He said I e had the misfortune to be acquainted with defendant. Mr. Gomm—Pray, Mr. Parkins, abstain from epithets. Mr. Aootrnus—Mr. Puking, I advised you before you went into the box, not to answer more titan li asked. Mr. Parkins—l will endeavour, Sr, but Ido not want to be its• terrupted (to Mr. Gurney). Mr..GURNEY—You will be interrupted, Sir; when it U proper. Mr. Parkins resumed— The witness stated that he was introduced to the pri soner by a Mr. Woollastou, in,the Park. The prisoner informed witness that Woollaston was an eminent soli citor.' After some cursory conversation the parties separated.. Witness met Hicks and Woollaston several times afterwards, particalarlY at Hicks's house at dinner. Sir Henry Tempest and several others were of the party. At one of their social meetings, Sir Henry Tempest urged the witness to adopt the business of lending money on annuities—said that he himself bad disposed of his money that way. The witness declared his dis inclination to follow the advice. Two or three days after that period,.the prisoner and Woollaston called on witness, and told him that the Honourable Mr. Finch had inctimbered some Church livings and two lay estates besides, by several annuities, and wished to ex change those several annuities for one large one. The sum of the collective incumbrances amounted to 6,0001. —They added, that if witness would advance the 6,0001. to the Honourable Mr. Finch, to clear off these annui ties, he would receive a charge on the property of 6001. per annum. Hicks took him to the Enrolment Office, Chancery-lane, and having examined the books, stated to witness there were no more incumbrances on the property than those previously alleged . by him. Wit ness having confidence in Hicks, gave him a cheque for 6,000/. on his bankers, .to ,be applied So the clearing of the incumbrances. The cheque contained a direction to the bankers not to pay the sum of the cheque until the title deeds of the livings arid - estates should be de posited with them. Witness then left town, and on his return having met Hicks and Woollaston, was informed by them that the bankers refused to advance the sum of the cheque; they suggested at the same time that the motive of the bankers' refusal was a wish to retain in their hands the 6,0001. for the use of which Mr. Parkins required no interest. Witness, to convince them tbat he had no doubt of their honour, gave them another cheque for the same sum, 6,oool.—the cheque was sent to the bankers'; the sum was sent back to.witness, who de livered it (six notes of 1,0001. each) to the prisoner Hicks, Woollaston, and Finch. Certain papers were then produced, which were alleged to be the title-deeds of the livings and estates ; they were executed and sub scribed by Mr. Finch, in his presence, and retained by Mr. Hicks, witness's solicitor, who declared that every thing was correct. Part of the annuity was paid : 2,0001. or 90001. are now due to witness. Cross-examined by Mr. Otinuay...—The annuity has been paid up to December last ; these payments were n , ade from the estate of Mr. Henry Finch, who was surety for his brother, Mr. Edward Finch ; the cheques, t,ll;ch he gave on the bankers are destroyed ; never had tiy occasion to transact any business in the way of auruities for Church Livings.—(Mr. Gurney here handed a paper to the witness.)—Witness: The signa ture to that paper is w itness'shandwriting—(after some consideration)—it was not his handwriting; the signa ture is his; he never saw it before; does not know how his name happened to be attached to it ; he never sent tbi) cheque to his bankers—(on consideration)—he did send that cheque; remembers that in the beginning of t!.e cross-examination. he swore that the cheques were destroyed ; now he sees that this is one of them; swears . ...at his bankers did not pay the slim of 6,0001. on the presentation of this cheque; can swear that he was in ',own % hen the money was paid; thinks he was; to the best of his recollection he was ; cannot positively swear as to a particular date. Cross-examination continued.—l paid it myself in Hicks's office. I felt a repugnance to entering into the business, because it was an annuity transaction. I had bou 4 ht annuities before—( A lau g h). It was in June that I indicted Mr. Hicks. I had him taken up on a Saturday. Bail was offered. There was another in- L .., dictment, *hid' I removed into the King's Bench ; bolt that was abandoned, it being defective. I will not sweat. that I did not threaten to bring an action against Mr CHicks. I don't believe I did. I was often urged to d so, but I never intended. Cant say whether I threatened or not. I insured Mr. Finch's life this year, 'and not before. When I said that between 2,0001. and 3, was clakto me, I meant and said for arrears as well as for insurance. I calculate for the risk of life. I bare actually paid abOut 2001.—Mr. Parkins was here re quested to leave the Court. • The CHAIRMAN now said, that the whole evidence of Mr. Parkins had been heard, and he wished to know ott what grounds Mr. Alley intended to establish the fraud? Mr. ALLAY said, he would prove fraud by the de: fendant's own letters, and other evidence which he should adduce. If the Chairman thought . the case had not a leg to stand on, he would not press it. The CHAIRMAN said, the Jury had heard the nature or , the evidence already given ; but he had no wish to stop the case if there was important evidence to be given. Two letters written by Mr. Hicks to Mr. Parkins, and the annuity deed, were then put in and read; the latter being first proved by the subscribing witness. The deed contained a covenant from the granter of the an nuity to shew himself,' when required, at any Insur ance Office. George Keats, of Howland -street, said, I promised the Attorney for the prosecution to produce the deeds to-day, but I have not brought them. These are the in duction deedr. I lent them to Mr. Hicks about three years ago, to shew them to Mr. Perkins. Mr. Finch owes me money. I have the title-deeds at home. Mr. ALLZT.—WeII, go and fetch them. Mr. Keats.—l 'certainly will not—(A lough). Mr. ISlcawrr said he was not bound, in a criminal prosecution, to wait for witnesses. _ Mr. Weare, a coal.merchant, examined.—l knew Mr. Hicks ten or twelve years ; I do not know Mr. Finch. (An annuity deed was here handed iu). The witness said he had not yet been paid. Mr. Thomas Carr, Devonshire -street, Portland-place, said, Mr. Hicks has transacted business for me with Mr. Finch ; the annuity has not been paid off. Mr. Sherrard.—l know Mr. Hicks; I had a conver sation with him respecting the annuity. He said, " I bad some dealings with the fortunate youth!" meaning Mr. Parkins--(Loud laughter).—This was respecting the annuity. Mr. Maur.—That is my case. Mr. Gunnar tiesisubudtted, on the part of the defendant, that no case bad been made out to call for say defence. After a short discussion between Mr. Gunner, Mr. Aux:, and Mr. Annulus. It was decided that the cue should go to the Jary; and Mr. Guam addressed the Jury on behalf of Mr. Hicks in a most able and eloquent speech, denying the charge fu Coto, not merely as regarded the fraud alleged to be committed by Mr. Hicks, but as regarded any fraud at all committed on Mr. Parkins. Notwithstanding that Gentleman's repugnance at engaging in annuity transactions, he had received at the rate of between 16 and 17 per cent. since the beginning of the transaction. He had received his money down to last Midsummer; it was an annuity, depending on a good life of 32 ; he had paid 6,0001. be had received 4,0001. and the annuity was still in exigence. There was, therefore, not the smallest pretence for preferring this indictment against a respectable individual, because anotheer individual,' the granter of the annuity, had failed, in tbe„Perform agree of a covenant, to pay off sospe prior ineupsbeances. —So that because Mr. Finch had rendered!: himself., liable to an action for a breach of covenant, Mr: Hicks was to be indicted for a transportable offence. The Learned Gentleman then, at considerahle length, went over the evidence Of Mr. Parkins, and contended, I that it was impossible, at this distance of time, to rely upon that Gentleman's accuracy as to particular ex pressions, and which were the very foundation of the present charge. There was not a single important fact in the evidence of Mr. Parkins, which he had not said and unsaid several times. When he was asked whether he had not engaged a man as a kind of spy, to take notice of what should pass between himself and Mr. Hicks, and yet to appear as a stranger; when asked whether he had not committed this base action (which no man within fifty degrees of a Gentleman would commit), he said he could not recollect whether he had or bad not done it. How was it possible for the Jury to think' of receiving such evidence ? He had sworn that bets;een two and £3,000 was due to him, although he had.been paid down to Midsummer, and had, in fact, paid but £2OO for insurance. He should leave the case in the hands of the Jury upon the evidence as it now stood, and should think it perfectly unnecessary to call Any witnesses to Mr. Hicks's character. Mr. gt.s.ae claimed a right to reply upon a technical point, which he contended gave that right. His claim was disallowed, and The Cranium (Mr. Come) then proceeded to sum up the evi dence, observing that this extraordinary ease depended on the sole and unsupported evidence of Mr. Parkins, who, no doubt, intended to state the facts correctly, but who appeared to labour under so much uncertainty of recollection, that there was reason to appre hend his own view of the case might induce him, unintentionally, to give an incorrect statement of the facts. The Jury instantly returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Letters from Gibraltar of the 23d of August, state that bands of Constitutionalists still appeared, and in considerable numbers. The two bulletins we have lately given were widely circulated in the southern provinces, and had produced a great sensation. WHITBY.—It rained heavily here all the day on Wed nesday, and caused a great fresh in the river. Several shocks of oats and barley are come down from the country with the water, and are gone to sea. Abosit five in the afternoon, the wivd blow ing strong from the North, several vessels CUM for the harbour. The brig Outhwaith, of Sunderland, Garthwaite, coal laden, struck against the East pier, and immediately sunk. The crew, five in number, were saved by throwing ropes from the pier on board the vessel, before the life-boat reached her. On Thursday stunning a sloop-rigged vessel was seen to go down about a quarter of a mile from Whitby pier. Three people were seen in her rigging, all of whom were drowned. She had been water-logged, and in making the harbour upset. She is supposed to be a Humber keel. Willient Trifair, a person who is understood for some years past to have supplied Scotland with forged notes, has been seized with another noted dealer, Miry Ann Quin, andabcut 550 forged notes on different banks taken with them. The notes are on the Huddersfield, Royal, Leith, Commertial Bank of Scotland, Sir Wlt.t.tast Fosses and Co.'s Banks. The circumstances connected with the suspension of payments by the banking-house of MARSH, STRACEY, FA uNTLERoy, and GRAHAM, of Berners-street, were the subject of very general conversation yesterday in the City. From the nature of the information circulated on the subject, it would be highly indecorous, without proper proofs, to give publicity to them. The necessity of suspending payments by the firm in question was publicly announced yesterday by the following notice: " Berners-street, Saturday night, Sept. 11, 1834. " The very unexpected situation in which we suddenly find our house placed by the extraordinary conduct of our partner, Mr. Fauntkroy, has determined us for the present to suspend our pay ments, as most just and becoming to our friends in general. ° W3l. MARSH. • J. H. STRACRY. "4. V. GRAHAM." •RIOTS)SINA4 GLASGOW. • .-- • . Thursday la s t a ver y ser io us riot took place in Carol hchie, of which the following are the authentic parti. culars. Mr. George Shiith, weaver, Camlachie, has a family of six sons and three daughters. He has six 1. erns occupied by himself and five of his sons. He has taken all his•work from Mr. Peter Hutchinson, ever since that Gentleman commenced business. He always fotind that 'he paid as high prices as were given by any; and he would never seek a better master.—Thursday morn ing, between nine and tem, while Mr. Smith was en. gaged in making new . shutters for his windows, his shop was beset by a rabble, who attempted to get into the /nom shop, but the door being . fastened, they bung about the windows, and damned him to come out, and they would give him a good thrashing. No answer was given, but those within continued working. They then left the premises, but continued to lounge in groups about the village. About two o'clock- they gathered in a field on the north side of the village. Same of the most active were noticed engaged in making up as effigy attended to represent Mr. Smith, sen. The figure Wai stuffed with straw, and there was on it clothes exactly resem bling those worn by Mr. Smith. The white night-cap he wears was not forgotten; and there was the appear ance of a web under the figure's arm, with a white cloth round it. The same as Mr. Smith carries with his cloth to the warehouse. Indeed, the personification was so complete, that the family say they might have mis taken it for their father bat for the ill painted face.—* There was a label on the breast with thelnscription, " A warning to all traitors deserting their colours." They went by the back of the houses, and came down 'Whitevale, carrying the effigy shoulder high. There was a number of men and women collected, who ad vanced with the mast horrid yells and shouts, and stopped in ft ont of Mr. Smith's house. They used the most b odious expressions to the family, held the effigy close to the window. A fellow with a rope inflicted 20 lashes on it. The crowd then huzzaed and shouted for joy, and went parading the effigy through the village, which was now in a / state of indescribable confusion. With augmented numbers they reached Parkhead, and stopped at Mr. Hall's, one of Mr. Hutchinson's weavers, and who is determined not to drop him ; then to Mr. Smith's, be yond Parkhead; then to Mr. Dunsmore's,' Westmuir. —At all these houses, and several others who were obnoxious because they would not leave Mr. H. the rabble vented'their spleen, insulting them and their fa• milies in the grossest manner, and threatening them: The effigy was flogged before each of their doors. Al., ter the mob had acted in this manner for more than an hour, reinforced by most of the inhabitants of these vil lages, they returned to Camlachierabout four o'clock. In the interval Mr. Smith dispatched a messenger to Mr. Hutchinson's warehouse, and the foreman went to the Police Office, and requested the assistance of the ci vil power. The mob, to the number of 700 or 800, again assembled opposite to Mr. Smith's house, held up the effigy to the window, and the women, who were very •numerous, and particularly active, and forgetting their natural modesty, used the most disgraceful epithets to the family, and declared they would burn them all alive. .:..They went to a wooden erection that had been fitted a butcher's stand. Here a fellow performed thtpart of hangman in due form, and after hanging for 'Rime time the effigy was taken down. Preparations were in the interim making to burn it, and a quantity of shavings and a shovelful of live coals were taken from San adjoining brick-kiln, and laid on the foot-pavement opposite Mr. Smith's windows. Here they continued shouting and hallocing, and expressing their determina tion to born Mr. Smith alive. As they were about to consign the effigy to the flames the police came upon them by surprise, and they, quite confounded, dispersed in all directions. Mr. Smith is a most peaceable well doing man, and would give no offence to any of his neighbours. His family live very retired, and during the radical rebellion, lie wholly abstained from it. A grudge, he says, has always been borne him for this. A party of the police remained in the house till eleven o'clock ; and on the least alarm, measures were taken for an instantaneous communication with the police.— Glasgow Journal. • It is with much regret that we have to notice to-day the following particulars regarding a considerable riot which took place on Thursday evening, amongst the weavers in Camlachie. They are the bitterest foes of that class of our fellow-subjects who counsel and hurry them into such proceedings as these—such violations of the laws of their country. Seven persons were taken into custody on the above occasion, and were yesterday fully examined belore the Magistrates, and six of diem committed. A very full precognition was also taken and dispatched last night to the Crown Lawyers, and it is hoped the case may yet be in time for trial at the ensuing Circuit Court. The prisoners are—Alexander M'Phie, Andrew ,Dunsmore, John Riddell, Robert Reid, Richard Irvine, and Jolla Smith, all weavers. 141•Phie is one of the persons who were convicted of rioting and demolishing the wall at Westhorn, abont twelve months ago, and is under caution in that matter to keep the peace. Geoage Smith, weaver, in Camlachie, and his sons, have been in the employment of Mr. Peter Hutchinson for some years ; and on Wednesday last they took out four new webs. The father was waited on in the course of the evening by four individuals, said to be members of Committee, Delegates, or otherwise, at the head of the weavers' combination, who remonstrated with him for taking the webs, and endeavoured to prevail with him to return the work; and on his refusing to du so, they went off, making use of threats towards him. Early on Thursday afternoon, the threats were cart ied into exe cution, inasmuch as a large mob assembled in the village, and after preparing and suspending from a pole,what was announcedas the effigy of Mr. Smith, proceeded with it, in a violent and tumultuous manner, through the village to Smith's house, where they first proceeded to alarm him by knocking at his door and on his windows; after which they brought the effigy close to the window, and with a whip, which had been frequently applied in the same manner during their progress through the village, proceeded to bestow several . hearty stripes on the effigy. —Notice of these proceedings having reached Mr. Hutainson. he dispatched information to the Superin tendent of Police, who most promptly repaired to the spot at the head of a small patty of officers, .accom panied by several p'ersons whom Mr. Hutchinson sent to their assistance. On Cie arrival of this panty at the west end of the village, they were assailed by the mob with stones, bricks, and other missiles, and were put to flight, after many of them had been pretty severe* wounded. An additional number of Police (Niters were then called out, and notice was trairsmittrid cavalry barracks by Bailie Lang, that a military. •tele lite* • -aiatice-ef• the eiet won-like wise sent:tciMc.. oir, the Sheriff-Substitute of the county, who, with Bailie Lang and one of the Town Clerks, promptly repaired to the spot ; but before their arrival, and without the aid of a military force, Mr. Hardie had, with the aid of a fresh supply of peace officers, succeeded in quelling the riot, and securing sever.il individuals engaged therein, against whom an investigation is now in progress.—Conceiving that these violent measures are not only unjust towatds the indi vidual against whom they are directed, but also sub versive of the true interest of the weavers thernselveo, we sincerely hope for their speedy termination. SPORTING IN7 ELLIGENCF:. BETTING-ROOM, TATTF:RSALL'S, SEPT. 13. The Room was' crowded by speculators of every class, and a great share of business was done. The betting was heavy, but not general, the only horses that etched any anxiety being Brutaudorf, Swiss, Streatham, and Jerry. There was a tolerable attendance yesterday (Sunday), and the betting became very strong in favour of Brutandorf, who rose considerably, and gave every reason to expect that he would to day become first favourite: these expecta tions are verified—he is at 7to 2 to which he has risen since last Thursday, from 9to 1.

There was an interesting match on the River yesterday. Messrs. Ambury and Williams in a skiff, against Codling, a Black wall man, in his wherry, from the Southwark Bridge uka boat or a buoy off Chiswick. The amateurs are much accustomed to trials on the River. Jonathan Codling was bred a waternian and he was backed for ten sovereigns. The skiff took the lead and kept it to Vauxhall Bridge; the boats were under the bridge together, and the wherry was rather first off the Red House, and kept the !rad to Wandsworth. At Putney Bridge the skiff was behind about half a dozen boats' length, and lost the match by one minute and a half. It was done within two hours. ,SINGLE-STICK PLAYING. A match having been made by the Wiltshire Gentlemen, for the players of that county to play those of Smite:set for a purse of ten pounds, at Wootton Basset, on the 50th August, two men, named George Stone and Simon Mapstone, of Wedmore, near Wells, at tended at the place appointed. sod won the prize by breaking ten heads of the %Viltshite men.
