Wham then beaded in the following. which he re. quested might be read as his defence: • "John Hobsos. who is indicted with Jobs Powdell, charged with breaking into the warehouse of Joseph Corbishley and Co. states,' that two nights together, previous to the robbery, Powdell came to him, ad said sf he would go with him be would make him a hand some presiat. The first time be did not explain him sell; the nest he called him out of his lodgings, and took him to a cook shop, and gave him something to eat and drink; whilst there, Powdell proposed the robbery of the prosecutor's factory. saying that it could be doge safely. Holmes told him that he was sot accustomed to any thing of the kind, and at first refused to godurt Powdell pressing him, saying, that there was no dap ger, he consented to go; they went; Powdell entered tbrugh a window, and called Hobson to follow, which he did ; upon which Lockett. the constable. fired a pistol •at him without saying any thing, and he and another visitable immediately apprehended Hobson,but allowed Powdell to escape through the window; be was takei up the nest morning (it is supposed) by the order of the Magistrates, and that Powdell informed Lockett tithe robbery previously. Powdell. who is a strangers, Hob son, has told him since the robbery, that be has been in Laol several times, and that be had been employed by ockett to trepan persons to commit crimes, end to give information thereof. Hobson has no money to engage Counsel, but wishes Lockett to be examined, vs to whether Powdell informed him of the proposed rob bery; also the other constable if called." ,William Lockett, the constable of Macclesfield, stated that he was informed by the prisoner Powdell that a rubbery was to be committed at Messrs. Corbisbley's and Co. previously to which be bad received an anony mous letter, and that it was that made him think there was sonietbing in it. When be saw Powdell he said, "that he might as well be transported as live as he did ;" in consequence of the letter, and what had been' &Aid to him, a watch was kept at the factory; Powdell told him that a man in a flannel jacket was to be there. The Learned Jonas, in summing up the evidence, remarked, if the Jury believed the witnesses that bad beets called, there could be no doubt of the guilt of the prisoners —the defence that Hobson bad set up made no difference as to his guilt—they were in law equally guilty. . The Jury pronounced a verdict of Guilty, and .they were sentenced to be transported for the term of four. teen years. Powdell was charged with having been before con victed, but under the circumstances of the present case the Learned Judge thought it unnecessary to go into the evidence on that charge. 'ITALIA° A COACR PAM'. Robert Owes., aged S'2, was indicted for stealing at Stockport, on the 18th of March, one Bank post bill of the value of SW. two Bank of England notes of the value of IW. each, and ten Bank of England notes ci 51. each, the property of Thomas Cartwright. The ATTORNEY GENERAL (Mr. Commonest with him) stated the case. Mr. LLOYD was for the prisoner. Mr. Thomas Cartwright;—l live at Stockport= ass the , 18th cf Match I had occasion to send one hundred pounds to Mr. David Holt, at Manchester; the pri soner was the driver of a coach running from Stock port to Manchester; I put up the 1001. its a parcel, there was a 30/. Bank post bill, and the remainder was in Bank of England notes—l gave the parcel to the prisoner. and told him to deliver it to Mr. Holt, before 11 o'clock that morning, and that it was a valuable, parcel; that was on a Wednesday, and the next day I found that it had not been.delivered, and gave informa tion to Mr. Barrett, the officer of police at Stockport; on the following Sunday I saw, in his possession, 9.51. in notes, some of them I knew to be the same, but parti cularly the SOL bete. Cross-examined by Mr. LLOYD—The coach I believe belonged to Matthew Pott; I did not book the parcel; I entrusted the money to the prisoner; I had beforeen trusted him with larger sums; I always considered him to be an honest man. Elizabeth Carl saw the prisoner at Macclesfield, on the 18th of Mach; in the evening, at the Flying Heise; he was going by the Herald coach to Coventry. I changed a M. note for him; I saw other notes in his band; he first offered me a 101. note. _ _ . J.Stavelyßarrea—l am deputy constable of Stockport; on the 19th of March 1 went -to Macclesfield. from thence to Coventry, and then onto London; at Meta's * field I saw Shottleworth, the guard of the Telegraph coach; I arrived in London, at the Axe Inn. Alderman. bury, about half-past seven o'clock on the following evening; 1 saw the prisoner and Thonsts Shottleworth ; 1 took him into custody; he said he was very sorry; ' —be could not tell what possessed him—l received trout Thorne. Shrittleworth. in the presence of the pri. stoner. SlL—the prisoner said be bad changed one of the 51. notes that he had out of Mt. Canwright's par cel at the Flying Horse, Macclesfield. to pay his coach -fare-- , he prisoner had always been considered a very • honest man, and I have entrusted him with money.— that was his general character in Stockport. • Thomas Shuttlewotth stated, that after he had got in with the Telegraph coach to the White Horse. Fetter lane. he sent to the Magpie and Stump. which is oppo. site to it; and he theist saw the prisoner—he told him that he had taken a parcel—he admitted that he had, and immediately gave him the mosey, and-said lie could not tell what he was about—he then told him tbat_Mr. Barrett was coming up by the Herald coach, whe' he offered to go and meet him at the Axe inn, .Aldermanbury. and be did go. This was the caw for the prosecution. Mr. LLOYD took an objection to the indictment, and Obtained that there was no taking, and that there was no contract to carry. • Mr. Cenwright was recalled, and stated that he was to have one shilling from Mr..flolt if delivered before acres o'clock; he supposed be would bate de shilling it delivered after eleven o'clock. The case was argued at considerable length, and many cases cited. Mr. Justice Janina said that be had given the case his serious considerition, anticipating that such an ob• jection might betaken; but in order to bring the obi sedan into such a shape as would answer the purpoid of justice, and to take the opinion of the twelve Judges if necessary ► he should leave it to the Jury to say wise; tber at the time the prisoner. received the parcel, be did not .receive it with the iatention to convert it to his own use? Several most respectable witnesses were called, who gave the prisoner a most excellent character. His. LORDSIIIP then proceeded to sum up, and ref quested the Jur y to say what moment of time the pn4 sooer conceived the intention of taking the parcel,. folk} ing it into their consideration that be was told that it was a valuable parcel, and that he said be would cok • care of it and would deliver it. . file Jury found the pirisoner Guilty. but not , with: ..feloniottainteut at the time be, took the parcel, but ;ha , be conceived the felonious intention on the road bp two Stedman and binfichteeri they flusher recommended him to mercy on ground' of Ins former good character. The Connie said it could pass judgment on the psi goner, or detain him until the opinion of the twelve Judges was taken, and that might be a long time; apd under die then impression of the Court, the tunnies might have expired by the evilsion 'of date; prOlialsly some course might be adopted that might spare the necessity of taking the opigoo of the Judges—prefab:4Y by taking bail to appear if called span for judgmtat. Mr. Arroanier Gsnianr. teed k dint personally be 644 no feeling, but the offence wits of a veryserions nature; be bid a public duty to polaris, and if it pissed exit out punishment, it might be imagined to be of if trieWs natpre ; he was, however, in their Lordship' hinds. Mr: Justice Jitavte said that it was a case of greet difficulty, and it being understood that four persons were ready to enter into retogniiances for the prisoner, in the sum of 501. and that the prisoner should enter into his own recognisance in 20P1. to appear if called upon, the Court observed that that *mold render the opinion of the Judges unnecessary. Mr. Arroaxar objected to that arrangement unless the opinion 'wits taken. The Cover --Then the Court will take anal to-snos. row to decide what shall be done. hhIMMINNINIIINIMINimi CORONERS' INQUESTS. • Thursday afternoon, at six o'clock, R. CAROB, Esq. the Coroner for Surrey, and a highly respectable Jury, assembled at the Rosemary Branch loqq,, Peckham, for the purpose of inquiring into the cireusistances attend ing the death of Mrs: Mary Fryer, tb9 widair of a naval adieu., SI years of age, who, It was strongly stispeeted in the neighbourhood, had fallen a victim to a long bourse of ill treatment which she was said to have re ceived from the person who had the care of her. The interest excited in the neighbourhood by the in. qniry was estraisrdinary. The fan was filled in every part, and a considerable crowd collected outside, and remained during the whole of the proceedings. Forth? last two days, the village bad been in a state of great excitement and so strong was the (Min's of indignation of many of the inhabitants against he woman sus pected, that it was deemed necessary to muster the, whole of the local police, who surrounded her house night and day, to protect her from popular fury. Not wfthstanding the presence of the 'Aims, however, the Crowd threw stones and other missiles at the house. and a great quantity of filth was thrown into the yard and garden. The Jury having been sworn and viewed the body, Mr. Brown. a 'organ', residing at Peckham, deposed, that on Wedneiday morning be and Mr. Bristow, another surgeon, were called upon by, the parish autho rities to examine the body of the deceased, lying at the house of a Mrs. Harris & in Roseisary Branch-lane; their entrance, boarever, was resisted by Mrs. Harris. She closed the doors against them, and said, in a very' determined tone. that she woold inflict injury wn, any one who attempted to enter the house. They. went again in the afternoon, accompanied by the Pa.' rids Beadle, and succeeded in gaining an entrance. They then examined the body of the deceased. They' found a contused wound on the , right side of the frontal bone, and braised appearances oa the left side of the head. Thera was a cot of an inch in length on the back part of the bead through the boot, which appeared to have been done, with a sharp sestrunseat. There was greatadiscolouration on the uppir ?art of tbsi back and shod /item with a removal of the skin in several places. The left fore arm was much bruised,, and a deep wound on the aria. The integuments were cut through ; this seemed to have been occasioned by a cord or narrow strap. On removing the upper part Of the skull, the dura mater was found healthy; under neath which, and over the left hemisphere of the brain, was observed a quantity of bruised blood, about two ounces; there was no fracture or depression of the skull to be met, with the exception of a diminished sine of the left heinispbere'of the brain. occasioned probably by pressure, and that of recent date; the brain presented the most healthy appearance; the abdomen and chest were also found perfectly healthy. The Ceamma—What. in your opinion,was the cause of death ? Mr. Brown.:.-The extravesation of blood on the left hemisphere of the brain, which only could have been. caused by external viole nce.: The extravasation must have been caused by the blow, the mark of which ap. peered on the frontal bone. A JOrOf•-•Aff there not appearances in the body which show neglect? Mr. Brown—There were appearances of that kind certainly. The age of the deceased, I understand, was 81, and 1 am of opinion that she might have lived to the age of 100 with proper care, so perfectly beeltby did she appear. Mr. Bristow corroborated this statement. Richard Shotlock, a carpenter, said he lodged in Mrs. Harris's house about six months; she had the care of the deceased, and bad a guinea a week from her friends ' for her support; he had heard the deceased groan in the night time, and bad beard Mrs. Harris tall bet a "ti—d old faggot," and a 14 d—d old b--b," and bad heard the deceased call out, si for GOD .$ sake don't—pray don't beat me." The deceased was a widow. Witness never heard of her makiag a will, but understood she had property. The deceased bad a habit of Moaning in the night, snl Mrs.. Harris beat her on that account, and was in the habit of strapping her duin to the bed.in tying her with a mayor tope by the wrist. Witness was asked by a neighbour why he did not speak to Mrs. Harris on the subject of her treatment of the poor old Lady. and he told him he might as well speak to a post. He bad beard Mrs. Harris's husband remonstrate with her, but be dent not say much ; he was very mild, but she was quite the reverse. The witness, alter much pressing by some of the Jury, admitted that he htard of a will being in the house, but he 'never saw it. Margaret Brash, aged 13, said she lived servani with Mrs. Harris two months ; she was in the habit of drink lug very mecb ; she was constantly beating Mrs. Fryer, and witness bad seen her break several canes'abent her back; in the cold weather, when the deceased came down from her room where she was genitally. coafieed to warm herself. Mrs. Harris would take a stick or cane and. beat her up stairs again she bad seen her bear the deceased with n walking stick, and once with an iron 'Rd; the decelisad used to cry, to witness, and say, she s wished GOD would be, pleated to take her; she was dreadfully afraid of M;s. Harris, who could make bet nu or do any thing ;• she sometimes sent her to bed without her tea,.ata tail if sbe.gase her as mech . food as she wanted. ,the old b—th would eat a donky and hampers! . _ Charles Spwca, said, he .was a lawmaker, and lived next door Mrs. arris ;lie bad m 403 LipteSsienills• Harris inflict were chastisement on the deceued be had aeen bsr ; beat bar with a ',tick over the bead and pAry panpf.tha botib.aad bad several times ma bet y.stfihe.theAti Wy.to the groom , with •ber GA.

The blow s appeared by the &S OW to be given web the fist , and he heard the old Lady fall, and cry out. W Oh. dear, pray clok!, Mrs. Harris." • . Mary Liegooss, a young girl, who posher evidence with a good deal of flippancy, said she had known the deceased for two yeas as thelodger of Mrs. Harris, aid saw her very frequently; Mrs. Harris always behaved wills the greatest kindness to the. deceased, and gave her victuals With • beg own hands; she • bad certainly heard Mrs. Marcie talk very loud to the deceased at 'times, but never saw her strike her in her life. About trine fl ays ago, she called witness in to see Mrs. Fryer, qad te old Lady, in mower to a question put by Mrs. Hirri4 said the Wier hid always treated her kindly Mrs. Fryer had then blisters on the left past of the fort h, scl.—(Mr. Brown, the surgeon, said this could not be true, as be must have known it).—On Tuesday atoning Mri. Harris told her Mr.. Fryer was dead, and witness assisteti is laying her Art ; she did sot observe any mark on her forehead; witness saw the deceased on Monday last, and she then appeared to be quite stupified, and said to Mrs. Harris, 0 6 [should die happy if 1 thought you would get the money." . The Coaossa—Really this appears to be a strange contradiction of all we have heard before. Mrs. Owen said she bad seen Mrs. Harrib knock the deceased down like an cis, many times. Mr. Brown said, that the witness Ling.ton resisted Mar and Mr. Britt°, when they attempted to remove shebody from the dark back room tb the front one, in 'order to examine it. At the desire of several of the Jurors, Harris and hi. *We were called in separately. and Harris. who seemed a• harmless old man, said he knew not bow the de. ceased came by her death unless it was by the visitation of Goa He said that she was strapped down by the body and wrists to prevent her from falling about the base . , end this was done by way of caution. (Here there was a general eipression of indignaiion in the room). Anne Harris, an amaliegly tall, Masculine, red-faced woman, was then qiesisoned, and declared she never beat the deceased to hurt her in all her life. She denied that there was any mark or blow on Mrs. Fryer's fore head, Wien she died, lad said the Mark most have bees midi by the doctors in cutting and hackies her about. The woman thee commenced a volley of abuse against the surgains, and the Coroner and the Jury. for not hiving paid Moro attention to "her witness.° Mary Lignston;and the biadks were at length obliged to put her out of the tools by slain force. The 'insisi4 bad now lasted nearly six boors, and who room was cleared of all but the Conger sad Jury. who remained abiut half an hoer is deliberating, and 'theft determined to idjiturit. The adjournmeat took • place accordingly at half past 12 o'clock. Ferias, Moining twinge, they again lidetailed,when Mrs. Speincer the 'wife cif the wham of that name, deposed, that etise bad fietpieutly seen Mrs. Harris treat the deceased With greet exielty.

Slo s hed also seen her strike chi deceased with bet Ilsta tad with thelandle of a broom across the bead and back. On the Saturday preceding the death of the deceased she heard her scream " mur der 7 and afterwards beard Mrs. Harris say to her hus band, that she had gives the old b—ch a rolling is a blanket, and bad stopped bar calling oat for some time. Witness added. that during the whole time she had blown the deceseed she sever saw her without black eyes or some other marks of violence about her face. The whams Sherlock was then recalled; his evidence being so completely at variance with that of the last witness. He admitted that be had frequently 'heard the ,deceased call for. water, which calls were not attended to. He had heard Mrs. Fryer scream oat many times, when Mrs. Harris was in the room with her. Mrs. Harris was then callecrin, and the whole of the evidence read over to her, and - she was asked if she bad Airy thing to state? with the usual caution, that she was not bound to say any thing which might criminate( herself. She entered into a long rambling story, in the course' of which she spoke of her kind and sisterly amanitas to the deceased. She declared she had a clear conscience, whatever people might think ; and put it to the Jury whether it was likely use would murder an old Lady, by. whose death she must be. a loser of a guinea a week. which the received for her board? The room was now cleared, and the Jury, after a short deliberation. returned a verdict of Manslaughter azainit the woman Harris, who was forthwith takes to Hersemooger-lane Gaol.

Tuesday a poor woman, whose mother sod sister ,both fell by the bands of the notorious Burke and Hare, was brought to the Police Office, supposed to have murdered her own child, which was eighteen or twenty months old. Upon inquiry it was found that ever since the confessions of Bulks were made public, in which she ascertained the fate of her unfortunate soother and sister the woman bed been is a sous of (derangement. a nd that the child bad died, sot frees violence received at her hands. but from neglect. The woman has. we understand, bees committed to Bedlam: —Edinburgh Uhstroer. A fatal occurrence took place a few days ago in the family of a poor man earned Bullock, living at Cattiallettoll, in this county, resulting from the - to. prehensible but too common practice of leaving loaded Ore-arms within the reach of ice:primed and in cautious hands. Two of Bullock's children (boys), the one nine, and the other four years of age, bad obtained some birds' eggs,sad not agreeing is the division of 'them, the elder said jocularly to the other, who bad the whole is his possession, that un less he gave up bin fair share of them he would shoot him, at the same time pointing to a gun which his father bad used nit frightening birds from the corn, and which. was standing to the corner of the fOO4lll. .taking the threat in the light it was doubtless intended, the unfortunate child, who was at the time sitting up in bed. still refused to surrender any pattof the spoil, upon which his brother immediately levelled the gun at him (the monks, we are told, being within a few inches of his forehead), struck down the trigger, and, melancholy to relate i nearly tbe whole charge entered the bead of the hapless victim, tearieg away the.greater part of the scalp, and ezposiog his brains,.
