Judge having listened to his argument, de:egrni lett to admit the evidence, at the same time giving him leave to move the Court upon the print. Mr. Serge ant Witme now moved for a rule to shew ca use why the verdict should not be set aside upon the point reserved, citing several cases to shew that parole testimony in actions of this kind was inadmissible. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE thought that this objec• tion WAS most iniquitous. It was purely technical, and was only taken by the defendant to avoid the justice of the case. His Lordship was at first afraid that in spite Of the real justice of the case the objection must have' been held to be good; but on reading the declaration, he was of opinion that the defendant would be bound upon the money count. There appeared to be a moral obligation and a part promise, which was sufficient to support this count, and parole evidence of that fact was admissible. Mr. Justice GAsittac hoped •that the decision of the Court in this case might be spread• into the mostlemote corners of the tingdom. The difficulty which they had found to decide in favour of justice might serve to teach poor widows, that when they agreed to take a lease upon certain conditions they should be careful not to sign it until all the conditions stipulated were fulfilled. The other Judges being of the same opinion, the rule was refused. PHILLIPS V. CROTCHLEY. This was atraction of breach of promise of marriage. It was tried at Westminster before Mr. Justice Bur roogb, when evidence having been given of a parole promise to marry, a verdict was returned for the plain tiff—Damages 2001. Mr. Sergeant Wttok now moved for a rule to show cause why that verdict should riot be set aside and a new trial granted, on the ground that the promise of marriage was not so stated in the declaration as to raise a breach of contract. The declaration cotsta;ned four counts; the first of which alleged that the defendant undertook and faithfully piomised to marry the plain tiff; the second, that he promised to marry her upon request; the - third, to marry within reasonable time;l and the fourth, to marry generally. The Learned Ser geant contended that the only proof of a promise on the part of the defendant was, that be had said he would marry the plaintiff when he had provi'ded for his sister, which, by the terms under which he retained possession of his property, he was bound to do; and this the Learned Sergeant submitted was not sufficient to support the allegations in the declaration, and that therefore be was entitled to a new trial. Mr. Justice GASELEZ is quired whether the defendant had since married ? and was answered in the affirmative. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE thought that there was sufficient evidence of a general promise to support the allegation contained in the decimation, and he was therefore of opinion that there was no ground for the present motion. Mr. Justice BURROUGH said, that he certainly thought at the trial that the evidence was amply sufficieat to support the case. Mr. Justice PARE agreed with his learned brothers. Mr. Justice GABEL= having expressed his concur rence with the opinion of the rest of the Court, said, that according to the old cases, it was necessary for a plaintiff to prove a tender of =triage, and a refusal on the part of the plaintiff; and although those cases were not now acted upon, yet the subsequent marriage of a defendant was . stiong evidence of a breach of promise. —Rule refused. GOODMAN V. KENNEL The plaintiff in this action sought to recover com• pensation for an injury he had stestained in having been thrown down by the furious riding of the defendant's servant. The case was tried at Guildhall, t wring the Sit tings after last Term, before Nit... Justice Pa' k,is hen it was proved that a man named Cocking, wliss, it was alleged, was the defendant's se' vant,was the per .611 who rode over the plaintiff, who is a labouring man, in poor circum ranee: Proof was also given of the extent of the injury and leagth of confinement. Fur the defendant, wit nesses Mere called, who stated, that the horse did not belong to him, and th.st Cocking was not regularly in his service, but was only employ eJ by him occasionally. It was airmitted, however, that on this particular occasion he was employed by the defendant ; but then, again, it was proved, that he had no autho. ety to take the horse, which he bad done without the consent of either the defendant or Mr. Fresh&eld, to whom the animal belonged. Cocking himself was called, and accounted for the accident by stating, that the horse was -frightened by a dog, and started with him at full speed, when, in consequence of the violence of his exertions to stop him, the bit broke, and having by that means lost all control over the beast, he could not prevent its running over the plaintiff. lie stated also, that the horse was Mr. Fieshfields, who had desired him to ride it whenever it wanted exercise, and having been employed by the defendant on the day in question, to take a book to town, he thought it wculd be a good opportunity to exercise the horse, and had therefore taken it. This witness, however, having been directly contradicted in his account of the accidi nt was disbe lieved by the Jury, who returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 601. Mr. Sergeant 'PADDY now moved for a role to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on the ground that Cocking had taken the horse, which was not the defendant's, without his authority, and that therefore he was not liable for the consequences of any accident that might bare happened. 'rite LORD CHM Jusetce said, that undoubtedly no man could be liable for the consequences of the act of a servant which had not baen authorized by him. The question, therefore, in cases of this kind, was— whether the act was or was not authorized by' the master? In the present case, evidence had certainly been given to skew that the hone had been taken with out the consent of the defendant, but the value of that i evidence depended solely upon the credit which the Jury thought proper to attach to it, and it appeared the person who had given this evidence, had so contradicted him self in several points, that they did not feel themselves j 'stifled in acting upon any part of it, and it was im. possible, trader all tire circumstances, to say that they had done wrong in rejecting it. It was clearly proved tut the man was for the time the servant of the defend- ant ; and, taking all the circumstances sof the case into consideration, his Lordship saw - not reason for disturbing the verdict. The rest of the Court were of the same opinion.— Rake refused. ARCHES' COURT, MONDAY, Sax. 28. am I. Shia. This was a suit, for divorce, by reason of cruelty, promoted by Mrs. Bray against her husband, The Key.' Bidlake Bray. The libel had been adasitted:i but ad. ditional articles of allegation were now offered on the part of the wife, setting forth certain declarations of the husband, and certain admissions by him on oath, in a late trial against parties connected with this suit; for conspiring to institute it. On the part'of thelusband, dime articles were opposed; the first as being a re. pleader ; and the second, orinhe groond t izs being contrary to the rules of fithiCourt to admit matters against the party which Were res inter alios acta. After hearing Dr. _PHILLISIORS and Dr. Jesse Animus for the husband, and Dr. JeNtlea and Dr. LGSHINGToN for the wife, The Cower decided that the articles were admissible. The fact of the prosecution of certain witgesses in the suit might prove a part of the cruelty alleged against the husband; the declarations, if proved, were a spoors of persecution of the wife, since it imputed to her an abominable' connefien with her uncle: and the facts referred to in the evidence In a Court of Law could not be considered 'es res inter alios ada, since they related to the party hiniseif. Pam/tall AGAINST DEAELE. This was an appeal front the Consistorial Court of Bath and Wells, in a suit whet ein the office of the judge was promoted by the Rev. Thomas Deakle, Rector of Uphill, Somerset, against Edward Prankard, for brawl ing in the parish church, and smiting, which offence was cognizable by the Ecclesiastical Courts, under the statute of '6 Edward VI. The suit was origi nally instituted in the Archidiaconal Consistorial Court of Wells, 'in March, 1826; but pending it, the Archdeacon'' , became vacant by the death of Archdeacon Sandiford, and it was thereupon in. yoked by the promoter into the Ep'seopal Consis. torial Court of Bath and Wells, the Bishop's Court having concurrent jurisdiction with that of the Arch deacon. The Judge in the Episcopal Court set teoced the party proceeded against to imptisonmer , t for four teen days (under - the statute 53 Geo. 111. wilich modifies the penalties attacht:d• to exclmmunication, by autho ' rizing imprisonment for not more than six months), and to the payment of costs. From this sentence the party condemned now appealed, on the ground that the proceedings in the Episcopal Court were void as corarn non judice, the appeliant being no pasty to the talterior proc. clings after they had been commenced in the Bishop's Court. After hearing Dr. Lump:Grim and Dr. Jesse ADDAMS, for the appellant, and Dr. JaNHER and Dr. Donsow, for the respondent, The COURT intimated, that it would take time to' consider the effect of two cases mentioned by Dr. Ad. dams, in the 'eats 1727 and 1732. Friday.anorning a stranger called at the Blind School, near the Surrey Theatre, and requested the superin. tendant to show him some baskets, which are made by the inmates, for sale. While examining them, the bell rang at the gate, and the superintendant answered it. A youth was at the gate, who engaged him in conver sation about the price of different sized baskets for some minutes. On returning to his fisst customer, he found he had walked off, having, during the time he had been in conversation with the youth, broke open his desk, and carried off about 201. in sovereigns and silver. THE GAZELLE.—The Gazelle is hunted at once with falcons and greyhounds. The greyhound is not quick enough ; but the falcons fix on it, attack its eyes, and so retard it, till the greyhound can come up, and seize it. The three twins, children of a bricklayer, named Rodkin, of this town, born on Monday last, are still living, and enjoying good health.—lzicester Chnnuele. A camp has lately been formed in the neighbourhood of Tripoli, consisting of 23,000 men. It as under the orders of Sidi Ali, the third son of the Pacha, and is destined to attack the revolted Arabs of the Djebel, who have for several monlis harassed and pillaged the subuibs and outskirts of Tripoli. These Arabs belong to three distinct tribes, called Simon, Assabe, and Notrair ; and have r their principal chief Muliarnmed-il-Marmouri, a crafty and suspicious man, who has never rendered personal homage to the Pacha, although he has at war inns periods scrupulously acquit ted himself of the duties r.f a vassal. The Pacha is deternrintd to reducithe rebels by force, an enterprise which will not be unattended .with danger, for the placts occupied by Marmorni are so high and difficult of access, that it will he necessary to convey the artil lery to them on the backs of camels, and the infantry will find considerable difficulty in climbing tip to them. ROBBERY AND DREADFUL NIURDEIL—EarIy this (Sunday) morning, about two o'clock, the neighbours and watchmen in Marlborough-buildings were alarmed 'by the reports of pistols and repeated cries of murder, which were found to proceed from a window of N 0.16, in the above named buildings. On the arrival of the watchmen and others, and having gained an entrance a dreadful spevacle prrsented ittelt. The teivant—a fine young woman, nearly 30 ye.,rs of age—was ling on the floor in the kitchen, with her throat cut from ear to ear, quite dead. The servant who had fired the pistols was in his bed-room, and the door screwed to gether. The servant was awakened by - the noise of t' , e screwing, and fired first of all through the 1: ir hole. The thieves, it appear, nothing daunted by this, had riot only committed the horrid n.nrder above described, but had regaled themselves wi h what wines and spirits they could meet with in the kitchen, and packed up several things ready to carry off: hut, in con%equence of the arrival of the watchmen and some of the neigh bours, it is supposed that they decamred a about any plunder. The poor servant, it appears, had not retired to bed, and had come down stairs aloae, for the rur pose of getting some water to wash' her feet ; but the mistress and likewise the man servant had been in bed some time. The darkness of the Light favoured the escape of the robbers, which was, no doubt, effected through the field at the back part of the house. The alarm has been dreadful. Mrs. Cox and two servants were the only persons in the house. The murderers had left a large bludgeon by the side of their victim.— Bath Journal. _ _ _ _ MANCHESTER, JAN. 26.—Perhaps the following in formation may be acceptable; I was in the Theatre when the affair took place :—Last night (Friday) during the representation of the interlude at the Theatre Royal (and during Miss PATON'S performance), a scene was acted in the dress boxes which will employ more than one legal Gentleman. On the previous evening some fancied or real insult had been offered to a manufac turer of this town, at the assembly or ball, by an at torney, and it was at this time that the manufacturer thought proper to resent it. He came into the boxes a /a Berkeley, artnel with a horsewhip, and very uncere moniously set about belabouring the attorney's shoulders in a most heimilean manner. The audience immediately rose en maisk The whole Theatte was in a complete uproar. Many individuals scrambled from the pit into the boxes, with the seeming intention to take* side with the attorney. It wits not until the officers in attendance at the Theatre , hid begun to take a very active patt in the drama, ttlacquietcould be restored, and the whipper and the whipped ejected. To clay the parties appeared before a !vlsgibtrate, and hilly the attot ay cut a sorry figure: bis face looked claim hideous. He stated the fact of the assault, and the rninufactorer was conse goody bound over to The 'Sesiiens ; bat there can be little doubt 'that it will be the cause of a civil action. Both Gentlemen art 'very respectably connected, and the affair Is all the gtisiip . of thi'dity. The insult is.saicf to have been to the asanufactureerwife.

William Zing, an able-bodied young fellow, was brought before Sir PKTOIR LAURIC, charged with begging. Mr. Simmons, of Duke-street, Aldgate, a Gentleman of the Jewish persuasion, stated, that in passing through St. Paul's Church-yard on Sunday evening he noticed the prisoner begging with a child about eighteen months oltlin his arms. The prisoner gave the child a pinch, which caused it to cry out piteously. The child cried for itt mother, and as witness passed lie beard the fa ther use a disgusting term to the infant. lie watched him for 20 minutes, and whenever a decent person was approaching, the fellow either pinched or shook the child to make it cry. A Gentleman was feeling in his coat pockets to give the prisoder some alms, but witness stepped up to him and related what he had observed, and the prisoner was taken into custody. Three shilling and four pence in loose copper was found on his person, al hough be had spent enough of teat day's gains to make himself completely drunk. The Alderman committed him to Bridewell for a month. BO W. ST R EFS. 1 Tkentas Smith, a deformed, dirty looking, little old man, was charged with attempting to rob the hen house of Daniel Myeis, Esq.& County ',%lagistrate, residing at Acton-squire. it appeared, that Mr. Myers's hen house is erected within the cow house, and tepeated attempts having been made . to steal the folds, a man-trap, of the homane kind (cakulated to catch a thief without maiming him), was placed near the entrance. About three o'clock on Thursday morning, Mr. Myers's valet was dis turbed by a tereible; uproar in the direct' of the cow house, some unfortunate biped was roaring " ten thousand nmeders;" while the cows were bcilowing—the dogs barking, and the fowls cackling with the utmost vigour. The valet, armed with a pistol, pioreeded to the cow house, and discovered the prisoner with one of his legs in the man trap, with a sack by has stela, -which he ad mitted lie had brought to " put a few fowls in." He had pulled &wit part of the lattice looking into the hen house. Ile had nothing to say in his defence,and was committed to the Douse of Correction ftr three months. _ A respectable looking man, a journeyman silversmith, was brought ip by Dike, the officer, charged with unlawfully pawning twe small silver salvers, the property of Mr. Smith, a silversmith, in Bedford bury. Mr: Smith said, that the prisoner had worked fur him for some time, and he was in the habit of giving him out articles of value to take home to finish. A few days ago he give him two salvers, and another article, to chase and p.olish, but he did not bring them back at the appointed time, and witness, on applying at his lodgings, was informed that he had been out getting drunk fur several nights together. The witness found the prisoner drinking at a public house in Clare Market ; and the moment the latter saw him, he confessed that he bad pawned the articles, and gave up the dupli cates for the salvers. The other, he said, he had left at a public. house adjoining the Surrey Theatre. Duke said, he had been to the public house named by the pti, toner, but nothing had been left there by him. A shopman of Messrs. Forrestall and Bird, pawnbrokers, in Blackfriar's-road, produced the salvers, upon which he said 351._ had been advanced. _ _ _ Mr. Smith said, that the salvers were worth 10/. and he handed them to Mr. Halls to sbew him that they were in an unfinished state. He complaitad of the conduct of pawnbrokers in taking ankles of that kind in such a state, observing, that robberies would be much less frequent if more caution was exercised. Here the pawnbroker had got 101. worth of property for 11. 15$. and if the prisonerhad not been found, he (Mr. Smith) would never have discovered where it was. • Mr. HALLs said, the pawnbroker had acted very improperly. Mr. Smith, in mercy to the prisoner, reduced his estimate ottlat value of the salvers from 101. to 61. mod the prisoner was ordered to pay 61. and a fins of 00s. which not being able to do, be was oeen• mitred to the House of Correction for two months. M A RLBOROUG H-STREET. Just before the Jose of the Office, a gallant Colonel appeared before Mr. Cotia:Nx and Mr. Roe, to shew cause why an order of of affiliation should not be made on him by the parish officers of St. George's, Hanover-square. From what transpired, it appeared that the young Lady who now sought relief for her child, is the daughter of highly respectable persons residing in the vicinity of Kensington ; that about 18 months since she and the gallant Colonel formed an attachment of a tender nature, which ended by the young Lady leaving the protection of her family for that of her admirer, with whom she subsequently co. l habited, but from some cause they separated, and, from the female being unable to keep the child, she applied to the parish for relief; on the order being made out, she attended at the Office yesterday,, but her feelings were so overpowered, that the instant she men- 1 tinned the gallant Colonel, she was forced- to be taken out of the Office, when she fainted away in the passage. From what couldbe seen of b-r features from beneath her veil, she appeared to possess considerable personal attractions. The deputy Overseer then stated that the relief which they had bestowed amounted to 16s. 6d. that the expense incurred in trotting after the gallant Colonel was 19s. 6d. and that from his rank in life the parish would expect the sum of ss. per week ; the various items were then sworn to, when the Colonel paid the money, and ss. in advance. Yesterday two juvenile thieves, well known to the Police, named John Unborn and Henry Gerrard, whose united ages would scarcely take one of them out of hes teens, were brought before Mr. Ros, the sitting Magistrate, charged with picking a silk handkerchief from a Gentleman's pocket the night before, in the street.—lt ap peared that the prosecutor and his wife were passing through High street, St. Giles's, about seven o'clock in the evening, when the prosecutor felt a pull at his coat-skirt behind, and suddenly turning round, saw Osborne withdrawing his band from the skirt, and ex tending i; towards the other prisoner, as if handing something to him ; and at the same time the prosecutor missed his handkerchief from hi. pocket. The prisoners then endeavoured to escape, but were pursued without being lust sight of, and taken into custody, when the handkerchief was found sander the jacket of the prisoner Gerrard. The Magistrate asked Osborne, who has been several times at thi; office before, what he had to say to the charge? lie replied h) a Total denial of his baying taken the handkerchief at all, or knowing anything about ir, but the other prisoner ex claimed to him, " Why you know you picked the Gentleman's pocket, and when you got the handkerchief out, you shoved it up under my jacket. * No, I didn't said Osborne. you took it yourself. Why, you know, said Gerrard, when you were doing k I told you you'd be cateied,"and you was. Settle it between yososid the Magistrate, but you shall both go before a Jury, and be committed them to Newgate to take their trial. AIARY-LA-BONNE. Edward Clarke, a footboy, was Charged on suspicion with having disturbed the peace of his mistress, at Nottingham Terrace, in the New Road. Early on Sunday morning the family were alarmed by a not.e and the boy declared be hid seen two men in the back area. The watchmen were charged with neglect of duty. The house door appeared to have been attempted, two loaves parted in halves were , found its the water closet, and the door, of the water closet and some washing t uba were marked with pipe clay. The case watk first brought before Air. Rawi.isson as a matter of inforrnation,but Mr. Washerley, the keeper of the Regent's.park watchbouse, haying scorched the garden, and found no footstep but what corresponded.mith ,the tomboy's shoes, requested that he might be ordered to write the word rogue. lie wrote" Rouge" in the clerk's book; and tt was a facsimile of what appeared on the door and tubs. Mr. Hewett, the chief officer, examined the premises, and was decidedly of opinion that no thieves had attempted the house. He asked the footbuy to give him some chalk ; he said, he had nothing ' but pipe-clay, which mitclied the colour of the writing upon the door and tubs, and that writing, as before-mentioned, corresponded with that in the clerk's book. The footboy was committed for want of bail, to ensure his at tendance to answer any charge that may be brought against him. Yistetday an Inquest was held at St. Bertholomew's Hospiral, on the body of Sarah Davis, aged 63, who was unfortunately burnt' at the fire, which took place on Fliday night, at her lodgings in Ahion Buildings, AldersgAtk Street.
