A W INTELLIGENCE. • COURT OF KING'S BENCH, his tit. k RANCIS V. MATTHEWS, GENT. 'RIF was an action on two bills of exchange, one for ti,e other for 821.- Defence, Usury. The bills dated February and May, 1828, payable in four and bix months. Mr. Gurney (with whom was Mr. Reader), stated that the plaintiff, who was considerably advanced in age, had been master of an academy, and had now retired on his means. The defendant bad commenced business as an attorney, borrowed money of him, and gave these bills as security, and afterwards refused to pay when they bt came due, on the ground that the plaintiff had taken an usurious consideration for the loan. It would be for the defendant to prove that ; in the meantime, it would sufficient for the plaintiff to prove the defendant's ac ceptance of the bills. The bills being proved, The Attorney-General, for the defendant, called wit nesses, who stated that eight or ten per cent. was taken for the loan. _ _ Mr. Gurney, for the plaintiff, contended that the wit nesses were not deserving of credit. Verdict for plaintiff on both bills, with interest, 1061. ADMIRALTY COURT, Jaw te. TIIE SLAVE FANNY FORD. This was an appeal from the Court at St. Christopher's, which had condemned the slave Fanny Ford as forfeited, under the provision of the 46th Geo. 111. cap. 52, for the Abolition of the Slave Trade. The seizure had been nmde by a Mr. Wharton, waiter of the Customs of St. Christopher, under a supposition that she had been ille gally exported to Sava, a Dutch settlement, and illegally imported into St. Christopher, contrary to the tenour of the aforementioned act. Sir Christopher Robinson said that the construction of the act should be put in motion with the greatest tender ness towards individuals. It appeared that Fanny Ford, being a wild unmanageable child, was sent by her proprie tor to Sava, a Dutch settlement, for her education ; after a lapse of years, she returned to the place of her birth, St. Chistopher's, and was sold to the present appellant, Miss Julia Conlelia Wigiev ; a seizure was then made of ti e girl by a subordinate officer of the Customs, upon the averment of illegal exportation to Sava. The seizure had been confirmed by the Court at St. Chistopher's, where, in his opinion, the meaning of the act had been over-I strained ; he therefore felt bound to pronounce for the re- vermkl of that sentence. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN, JOLT IS. HAYDN CORR! U. BUNN, PROPRIETOR OF THE DUB- LIN THEATRE. This was an action to recover compensation for the Ary iees of the plaintiff, his wife, and son. 111 r. Arthur Bush stated the case. The plaintiff was a tear her of mmic, and his wife an actress of celebrity, of wh.se services Mr. Bunn had availed himself, and now !efi 1.4e41 payment. Mrs. Corn was engaged by Mr. Bunn at a salary of 31. 108 a week, and had paid her up to the 2i et of March last, but for the week ending the 28th of M.irch she never received payment. That being a par tiralar week in Lent, the Theatre was shut for two and, making allowance for these two nights, her cp.in: was redolved to 21. .ss. 4d. Mr. Corsi on two oc presWed at the pianoforte, for which he claimed the sunt of three guineas for each occasion, and these stuns, with the claims of remuneration for the services of hi; son , and the expense of his dresses, which the Mane per outrht to have provided, made a total of 171. for wllich the present action was brought. These claims would be substantiated by the evidence, and therefore en tit'e the plaintiff to their verdict. Mr. Caleraft examined—l am stage manager; the pilintiff is a teacher of music; his wife is an actress ; oir son is about 12 or 13 ; Mrs. Haydn Corsi per f nailed in Mr. Harris's time, and has now the same en gogement, 31. 10s. a week. She was ill in February for a week, and did not perform. Mr. Bunn ordered her not to he paid, but I afterwards paid her on my own respon sibility during Mr. Bunn's absence, she having threatened not to perform unless she was paid. The last week in March she did not perform, with the exception of, I be line, two nights. There were two nights on which she refused to perform. Her salary for that week was stopped, in order to meet the week in February for which she had been paid. Mr. Corti attended and pre sided at the piano- forte, at the performance of Artaxerxes, and also at the rehearsal. A guinea, I think, would be a fair remuneration for each. The son performed in the Beggar's Opera, and on three or four other occasions. The father would not let him play any more unless he was paid, and, as he was annouued in the bills, Mr.Bunn ordered him to be sent for, and told him that an arrange ment for paying him should be made. I think half a guinea a night would be adequate remuneration for him. Cross-examined—l assisted in getting up Don Giovanni. Mr. Corri's attending at the rehearsal with Mrs. Coni V: OA a material assistance in getting up the piece. I paid on- week's salary on my own responsibility, as her place cou'_d not he filled up. The following week her salary was stopped, and then she withdrew from the Theatre. Rl r. Corn, after her withdrawal, put forward a claim for his attendance at her rehearsal of Artaxerxes. In the absence of Mr. Bunn I would have acquiesced in any pi uposal rather than have the public disappointed. Re-examined—The custom of the Theatre with former proprietors was to pay performers while ill ; don't recol loot the messenger who went for Mr. Corn to attend the rehearsal of Artaxerxes. Chief Justice—This action seems to be brought for one week's salary for Mrs. Corn, and for remuneration for the service of Mr. Corn and Ms son. Mr. O'Connell—Yes, my Lord. Other 'witnesses were examined, and several letters re lative to Mrs. Corri's engagement put in and reel. The Solicitor-General, for the defendant, addressed the Jury, and said no manager of a theatre would be safa if he were subject to the caprice of every performer who chose, upon the most important nights, to come and sly that they would not perform unless the manage- com plied with his or her terms. In no establishment was s stem and regularity more necessary than in a theatre. The Learned Gentleman concluded a most luminous speech by calling on the Jury to dismiss this unfounded claim of Mr. Corti. Verdict for the plaintiff-101. 13s. 4d. Fviturdav an inquisition was taken at St. Bartholomew's Pospital, hefore W. L. Newman, coroner pro tern. for the City of London, on the body of Jabea Christmas, a fine boy, aged five years, the son of a turner in the Curtain roar:, Shoreditch,who was killed in the following dreadful manner:—Ann lidg-arton, of Motley-street, stated, that oi. Wednesday evening, about six o'clock, was in the ..tain-road, when she saw a timber-waAgon loaded with dews passing, and three boys hanging ou a pole behind the waggon. The deceased child was on the pavement, mai run under the waggon between the fore and hind wheel, and got over the pole underneath the waggon,when tie , oil hind wheel knocked him down and went over his body. She called for assistance; and he was taken to the 1 ospitnl. The jury consulted some time, and returned a -ortliet of" Accidental Death," and affixed a deodand of 20s. ROMAN CATHOLIC PROSELYTISM. The Paris Papers have contained several different stories relative to the recent conversion of a young Eng lish lady to the Roman Catholic faith. There have been some contradictions ; but at last the Mayor of Anteuil has interfered ; and his statement, under the correction of the Courrier Francais, will probably make us acquainted with the real facts. The Mayor sends his communication in reply to an article some days before in that paper. It is to this effect : " A young English lady wbo was traveling in France, to coup. tenet the effects of excessive Oct on her arrival in Paris, took up her abode with Madame A. formerly a nun. She remained there about a year, and, during that time, the pious exercises she wit nessed—her conversations with the lady of the house, and the in. *ructions of the priests of the parish—WOW into ber heart the desire of embracing the Roman On keying this boom, she went to oat of the lest in the capital ; but though she was there surrounded by scants, she did not cease to nourish her intention of conversion, by reading books which she borrowed ham Madame A. In this state she came to Anteull ; she was there more than two months in entire solitude, solely em. ployed in reading religious books, when she was attacked by a seri ous Illness, which soon made ber alarmed for her life. She then asked for the spiritual aid of a priest ; the vicar of Anteuil would not go to her until he was compelled by the urgent solicitations of two aged persons. and on a request from the curate, who had other functions to perform. Th e sick lady entirely possessed her faculties. The vicar administered the sacrament:without any particelar degree of ceremony, and the new coovert was an a state of tranquillity for live or sic hours after her abjuration. This calm was not disturbed until the arrival of a puritan friend of the sick lady, who, without any regard to her condition, burst into bitter reproaches against her conversion. It is to these invectives, and to a second visit of this friend, who came back two hours afterwards, that we should ascribe the delirium which has since seised on the young English woman. She was removed the next day to the house of a friend in the Faubourg du Route, and afterwards to the infirmary of Dr. Pressat, though she wished to return to Madame A.` The . Courrier Francais denies the truth of some port of this statement, which, it remarks, admits the essential fact, that the young lady, who was a Protestant, has dur ing her illness been persuaded to abjure her religion. Imme diately afterwards she isaillictedwith mental alienation, of which before she had no symptom. It is said that her in sanity did not arise from her conversion, but from the re proaches of her puritan friend. The first fact denied is, that the lady who visited the patient is a Puritan. The im putation is unfounded. She knew nothing of her friend's conversion ; it was her friend who first informed her of it, and who caught her round the neck to convert her in her turn. The new convert was so pressing that her friend was obliged to slip herself out of her arms and run away. The insane lady followed her by jumping out of a window, and running through the streets of the town during a shower of rain, in a wild and disordered state, until the Mayor directed her to be secured. The visitor did not return a second time ; she saw her friend only once. One of two things is clear : either the sick lady gave signs of alienation before her conversion, and the Vicar in that case has committed a sort of sacrilege in celebrating the ceremony of abjuration; or she had her senses perfectly, and then the instructions of the Vicar made her lose them. The family of the young lady, who have arrived from London, have called for the pro tection of the English embassy. Tim ROMAN INQUISITION.—A general Edict of the Holy See of Rome, dated the 14th of May, orders every person to give information to the Inquisition as to all he retics, or those who are suspected of being so. In this category there are ranged all individuals who treat with doubt the worship of the Virgin or the Saints—who be lieve in the dissolubility of marriage—who hold intercourse with Jews or heretics—who oppose themselves to the acts of the Holy Inquisition, or take part in abusing the in formers that it welcomes and rewards, and who possess books of heretical authors, or discussing religious matters without the authority of the Holy See. By this Edict, it is forbidden to every Catholic to hold any intercourse, or eken to eat, with Jews, or to suckle or educate their chil dren, or render them any service whatever. We may aiiirm, that since the date of this Edict, there is not a Catholic in France who is not liable to this excommuni cation of the Holy Odice. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, July 18. Elizabeth Briggs was capitally indicted for stealing a 1 301. note, and other property to a large amount, from Mrs. Taylor, of Fleet -street, with whom she lived ser vant; and her father, Thomas Briggs, was charged with receiving the same, knowing it to have been stolen. The facts of this case are of a novel character, inasmuch as the rubbery was committed ten years since, and never would have been found out, had it not been for a quarrel which the male prisoner had with some part of his family. They are shortly, as appeared from the evidence and statements of the prisoners themselves, as follows:—In the year 1819 the female prisoner, who was then very young, lived as servant with the .prosecutrix in Fleet street, during which time she plundered her of property to a considerable amount, to which she was instigated and persuaded by her father, who received what she stole. To such an extent was this system of plunder carried, that the old man actually bought a cottage (in-which he had lived for years since) with the proceeds. It appeared their plans were most successful ; for when the female li left her place, her mistress was so well satisfied, that she obtained her another situation. It, however, happened, that last June a quarrel arose, and the old man went to a constable at Liinehouse, and detailed to him the whole particulars of his daughter's thefts, and of himself re ceiving the stolen property ; and in consequence of this information they were both taken into custody. The female prisuner,who was most dreadfully agitated, declared she was compelled to commit the robbery by the threats of her inhuman father, who now, after a lapse of ten years, was trying to tAke away her life. Since she left the prueecutrix, and had been free from the coutroul of her father, she had lived iu several situations, in all of which she had wituessos to prove she had conducted her . self with the greatest propriety. Several respectable periona with whom she had lived as servant gave her a most excellent character. Mr. Sergeant Arabin summed up ; he said, never, in the course of his experience in criminal courts, did he witness a more depraved character than the man at the bar. The jury would have no difficulty in coming to a decision on his quit._ The jury immediately found both prisoners Guilty, but strou6.y recommended tie female to mercy, as it was t . ..oir unanimous upiiiiou she was forced to commit the roblvry by her father. • _ _ _ Mr..Seigetuit Ai abin ordered the man up for judgment. The Learned Judy said it would be a waste of time to talk to a being de% tiid of every feeling of humanity; to a man who, in his opinion, was the most wicked that had ever stood at that bar. Language could not convey the horror that must be entertained of a monster who forced his child to commit an offence at the hazard of her life, and then, after ten years, to turn round and give infor mation against her. It was fortunate for him that he had not been capitally indicted, or the extreme penaltg: the law would must assuredly hav e be en hi s f ate . sentence of the court was, that he be transported beyond the seas for the term of fourteen years. The Learned Judge said, with respect to the female, the recommenda tion of the jury should be attended to. As tl.e ?ris.mer was removed from the dock ,aninvol u nntr e e xpression ofe caution burst forth amongst the spectators: ~,~ IMO POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ' GUI LDH A I.L. The examination of JitniesSesirelk, charged with uttering a forged will, was resumed, when James Lea, an officer In the Palace Court, deposed, that he accidentally met the prisoner at the Horseshoe and Magpie, in Fetter-lane, and prisoner inquired whether be could administer as a creditor to the estate of lirandreth, whodied with out leaving a will, owing him 791. This was abort the tarter end of November. The deceased had left a trunk at the Grosvenor Arms, Pimlico. the landlord of which refused to let the prisoner ascertain whether there was a will in it. Witness referred the prisoner for advice to a lUr. Beecham, who dropped in, and who received the prisoner's losenntions to eager a caveat uu his behalf. as a creditor against administration being granted to the mat o kin without his koowledge. Mr. Beecham went to Mr. Clarkson, a rector, too the subject. Oa the sib of December, the prism er . Mr. Byelaw, and the witness went to the Gros eeeee Arms, and Mr. Urethan' having exhibited the will now produced (a bids ' prisoner said be had found in the course of the preceding fortnight) they were permitted to inspect the trunk. It did out contain an) will. A number of stock receipts were found, and the prisoner promised triunes and anthem Any pounds each if he übtalued the money. Mr. Clarkson, the Proctor, said tie prisoner just spoke to him about the will hetweeo the ilth and 20th of December, when it was in Heethant's bands. The will was brought to him on the nob of January. He delivered the probate of the will to the prisoner. Mr. Trowell, of likham-place. Kent-road. was called merely to deVthat the signior, to the will was not his; and ilen. the Bow-street officer, proved that on apprehending the prisoner, at his brother's, lo Providence-riser, Battle-bridge, be found 20 sovereigns, and a certikats which he bad obtained from a Mr. House ' to the effect that he had frequently heard the de ceased say he intended to leave some of kis property to the prisoner. /Mitchell, a constable at Langley, stated, that hr searched the prisoner's cottage in the country. He Wand 21 sovereigns. An application was made that this money sit uld be restored, but Mr. Harmer opposed it, on the ground that there meld be little doubt it was part of the 3204 she prisoner bad defrauded the two poor women of, and the only part they could now get. The primmer, who declined making any defence, was committed for trial. LA M BET H-STRKET.
