~, I ~~ f BREACH OF PROMISE OW MARRIAGE. UNDER SHERIFFS COURT, GLOUCESTER. waionr V. waltzes. Mr. Srosa stated that this was a writ of inquiry, under which the Jury were called upon to say whit "damages the plaintiff had sustained by a breach of pro mise of marriage. The plaintiff was only eighteen ; she possessed very great personal attractions, and was very much admired. The defendant was a man of very considerable property; and of the mature age of fifty, an age at which a man ought to know what he was doing ; however, in this case it would appear that the defendant's object was the seduction of the plaintiff. It would be trusted that in the summer cf 1826 the defendant made advances to the plaintiff, and offered her marriage. The plaintiff did not accept him at first, but after a little time consented to marry him. The defendant then tried by every means in his power to in veigle the plaintiff to his house, but although she went there two or three times, it was always in the company of some third person. The defendant proposed making a settlement' of part bt his property upon her, and a peison named Proctor, who had since left the country. was in,tructed to draw up a settlement accordingly. The settlement was drawn and -shewn to the plaintiff, for the purpose of deluding her; and, what ;poke vo lames against the defendant, was, that the settlement was not worth a farthing, as it was drawn on a wrong stamp. Still the defendant could not succeed in his guilty purpose ; and the further to carry on his schemes, lie actually measured the plaintiff's finger for the wed ding.ting, and ordered his own wedding clothes; but still the modest prudence of the plaintiff shielded her from his attempts, as she would never go to his house except with a third person, and the defendant perceiv ing that be was not likely to succeed in his wicked purposes, without assigning any reason whatever, broke siff the snatch. These were the facts, and be would ask the Jury whether any damages would be too great to be awarded against a man of fifty. who set about the deliberate seduction of a young girl of eighteen by such means as bad been used? Mr. Samuel Trotman said—l know the plaintiff and the defendant. In June 1826, the plaintiff was at my house. The defendant paid attentions to her. He wished to pay his addresses to her, but she would then have nothing to do with him. Afterwards she became reconciled to him, and she received his addresses. Cros -examined by Mr. CARRINGTON—The plaintiff despised him at first . She held him in the greatest con tempt. I know a young man named Tilley. He comes sometimessto my house, but not very often. He is about 19 or 20 years of age. • Priscilla Weight said—The plaintiff, Jemima Weight . 4 • Is my daughter; in December, 1896, I saw the defend ant—be said he should like to marry my daughter if she were willing ; his whole conversation was about her ; he said, if she was willing to marry him, be would settle his property upon her; after this a marriage settlement eas prepared; the defendant asked my daughter to go to his house to see what things were wanting there; she Trent to his house, tut never by furs& ; her brother-in. laW went with her on one occasion, and her sister on another ; I saw the defendant on the 7th of )larch in the present year; he then said, " I have altered my mind. I shall not make my property over, and I will have nothing more to do with it." Since that my daughter's health has not been so good as it was before; she has been fretting much about the old man, and since deserted by him, 1 have seen her its tears very often. Ctois-examined—She cries because an old man of more than double her own age would not many her.— Her health is seriously affected by losing such a hus band. She did hold him in the most perfect contempt when he first paid attentions to her; but the liked him when she had consented to become his wife. I never heard her say that she never would live with such an old feilow ; and.l never heard her say th a if she had marsied him, she would have got his money, and left him to go to live in London. Mr. John Workman said—ln March hat she plaintiff and defendant were at my house. The defendant wanted to settle his property on the plaintiff, and, lse former gave directions to Mr. Proctor to draw it. Mr. Proctor has since that left his residence, and !don't know where be is. The defendant wanted ;he plaintiff to come to his house on the following Sunday. The old man com plained that he could never get her there by herself, and that three were no company. I have heard the de fendant say that his property is unencumbered. Cross-examined—l am a distant relation of the plaintiff. It was I who recommended Mr. Proctor. He had done business for me; he was a man its credit then. I did not know that a one pound stamp was not correct for a marriage settlement, and I have no reason to suppose that the defendant knew it. Mr. CARRINGTON, for the defendant, felt quite sure that the Jur,y would see that the defendant's property was really the object of attack in this case, and would feel that if the plaintiff's parents had acted properly towards their child, they would have been the first to prevent a marriage so unequal in point of years. With regard to the alleged attempt at seduction, he was quite confident that the Jury would see that that charge was wholly without foundation. It was rather late in the day for a man who had reached fifty yeais of age to begin the trade of a seducer. With regard to the set. Clement being on a wrong stamp, that was caused by the person who prepared it, and not by the defendant ; and whether the stamp was wrong from accident • or design, it was proved that the persan who drew the writing on the wrong stamp was a person then in cre dit, and recommended, not by the defendant, but by one of the plaintiff's own relation. The plaintiff, amt was admitted on all hands, was much admired ; and there was no doubt that she would marry someone much more suitable to her than the defendant ever could be. The Jury, after remaining in consultation for two hours, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damagei, One Hundred and Thirty-five Pounds. Last week, tl.ree notorious burglars, well known to the police, met with a most unforeseen accident, which entirely disappointed them of a rich booty. These rn-rn have lately carrred on mort extensive depredations at some distance from the metropolis, and for the put-- pose had a light green cart with a very fine thorough- bred chesnut horse, to carry off the spoil. Having com mitted a burglary at some silk mills near Maidenhead, one dark night last week, they Facked up near 2001. worth of silk goods ready t' put in the cart, when, through the darkness of the night in backing the horse and cart, they backed it into the mill stream, a height of some feet, the horse plunged, and the splashing and noise of the depredators alarmed some cottage's adjoin mg, who came to their assistance, baying no idea of the robbery, and offered their assistance; they replied, they could get the horse out themselves, but this was no easy matter, and other persons being attracted to the spot, the thieves were compelled to make away unseen dur ing the confusion, to avoid being detects le aving be hind them their horse and cart, as well weir booty. The horse is a very valuable one. SPOIL rINU IN ITLIAGENCE. • NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MRETING. . thissav Arreasoose.—The present week is expected to produce every good meeting, as many Noblemen and Gentlemen who do hot attend Doncaster meet here, both for the purpose of settling 'their engagements on those races and of enjoying some good sport, which is doubly attractive from the near approach of the close of At racing season.

Pheasant-shooting, our readers need not be told, commences thb day ; a month too soon, indeed, as many of these birds do not at tain their proper growth before November. Despite this, however, many fall victims to the unfair and unprincipled sportsman, even during the month of September. l'heauots, by dint of uncommon preservation, have now become not only Comm..,. but numerous, I throughout the kingdom ; and though they will, for the most part, cling to the preserves, yet, capricious in their movements, they will still ft equently be found at some distance from them. The best time fur pheasant-shooting on the borders of preserves is about the middle of October, inasmuch as these beautiful • birds will then choose such haunts, and in them continue, if not much molested, Amen ten days ; when they again seek the friendly shelter of the wood. As these are young birds, which thus temporarily stay away, it would seem "as if the mother blid drove them from 1.. r, in the same manner as the domestic hen Is seen to get rid of her chickens, "warring against Nature still." Pheasant-shooting, considered as a diver sion, is not, in the opinion of the writer, equal to partridge-shoot ing. While the ground is thickly covered with vegetation, phea sants may be flushed in all situations: and as long as potatoes and tutxtips afford good shelter they will frequently be amongst them ! but as the winter advances, the thicker hedge-rows will be sought, and coverts and protecting woods be courted, in which they are readily found, and, by good performers, easily killed. The pheasant flies with difficulty ; for instance, if one be sprung and not killed, but mailed down, followed and sprung again ; and if this he more than twice repeated, the bird will scarcely be able to rise with any effect the third time, but may be caught by the deg.. At the same time it should be admitted that the brat rushing rise of a pheasant is not a little calculated to try the nerve of inexperienced or com mencing sportsmen. The breed we have reason to believe abundant, though there be ugly reports emnt of a disease in the species.— Time will show—we remain sceptical. Woodcocks will present themselves towards the latter end, of this month, when they sometimes appear in considerable numbers ; though it is not till the beginning of November that they are met with in abundance. Snipes are to be seen during the whole year, but generally may be said to be numerous towards the litter end of this month. Conning will soon become general; though hares, at this early period of the season, may be considered, if the greyhound are good for any thing, as very much overmatched. Much, however, de. ponds, in this respect, upon the season, and a good deal upon the country. After a dry, bracing, breeding time we bate known hares run remarkably well from the middle of October; and upon open, down, and heath countries, where a chivey may be had three miles from covert into It, we have seen young hares puzzle, and some timetinies beat, a very good brace of greyhounds. Something must now, also, be conceded to the courser, on account of his young dogs. He, as well as the (ox hunter, and the keeper of harriers, has puppies to enter, trials to make, and hence October-coursing (but net sooner) may fairly be admitted: Blood, too,is as requisite to the encouragement and formation of the courage of a greyhound as it is to the entered fox-hound ; if cub-hunting be necessary to the one, so is moderately early coursing to the other. Unlike a racing colt, the three species of dogs in question tan have no fair trial un less the game le afoot before them. except we could train a cunning told fox, ur a clever running hare, to mind their points, as Toomer, of the New Forest, did his pig. But advance we. Hunting with the harrier. is somewhat dangerous, till the frosts have so far nipped vegetation, that the leaves begin to fall. Prior :o this periud,the leaps or jumps (as thep are more fashionably, but less philosophically, termed) are blind, and, consequently the horse is very liable to come down. Howbver, some ardent hare-hunters turn out in September : in October, hare-hunting becomes generaL Fos-hunting will commence this month; though this pursuit can scarcely be considered in season till Noven"er: however, like woodcock-shooting, it commences by degrees, gradually swells into the noontide of its glory, and finishes much in the same manner u the bird just mentioned takes leave of this country. It is greatly to be lamented that no truce can be made between fox-hunters and pheasant-shooters, since it has frequently been demonstrated that the two di o:rsions are not incompatible; or, in other word., that the existence of foxes is not necessarily the destruction of Ora. cants, even in the very same cover. But it would appear that the two diversions seuetate very different feelings than could be wished for the fox-hunter is a generous character, and nothing gives hint so much pleasure as seeing his friends, and as much company as possible, with his hounds; whereas the pheasant shooter too often eyes, with an unkind jealousy, the approach of every stranger, and admit* only a very defect few to share with him in the pleasures of his chase the one is a very social, the other, tno frequently, an unsocial, diversion. The writer of these memoranda of the month is not, however, of the number of those desponding disciples, who think that fox-hunting mast experience annihilation, because a few ill-natured pbeasant•sbooters destroy the foxes which happen to stray into their //reserves. Fox-hunting nos only must go on, but must go on increasing, since it Is encou raged by the principal part of the rank, the wealth, the respectability, the common sense, and the sterling integrity of the country. Foxes, like hares, will be found very abundant, as the breeding season has been as fine as possible ; and, from the uncommon pre parations made in various parts of the country, we have not the least doubt but that fox-hunting will be more vigorously pursued the ensuing season than at any former period. 4cirgiro Or fisado i the greater its antiquity the stronger ks strength. 4 • POLICE INTELLIGENCE. • lib f • ""- BOW-STTIr.P.T. In the early part of asst' week a young man presented h b e fore sir It. Blaine sad G. It. hhesuut.t., Esq. and solicited the kind later ference of the Magistrates its his behalf. 1 he young man stated, that he did not know whc; be was; that be had gave by the Dante of" George Helm," and be was now 23 years of age. lie was brought up by a Mrs. Helm, who was house. keeper to a Barrister in the Temple, who, till after kis return from the boarding school where he was educated, he had supposed WAS his mother. He always addressed her as mother, and he passed as her son, though he had newer been s obristesed. After his leasiug school at Chelsea, and returning to Mrs. Helm, is the Temple. a few years ago, they quarrelled, and in her auger she said to klnt " You shan't stop with me, if you don't behave yourself bet ter ; you may go to your owe mother, I am not your mother."— He was thunderstruck at the intelligence, and" replied, "Pray who is my mother. if you are not ?" She replied, "Go and ask Mts. Bradford." He repeatedly conjured Mrs. Helm to tell kim who were his parents. and after much solicitation the told him, "that in October, in the year 1104, she was informed that a surgeon of the name of Bradford, residing at that time in Harfurd-street, Fitzroy.square, wanted a nurse fora new born infant, and that any one who would undertake to suckle and take taro of it would receive 7UI. and also an annual sum for its support. She applied to the sur geon to take the infant, and it was appointed for her to call late one evening to receive the child. Site stated to the Doctor that she would not take the child without she recceived it at the bands of its mother; and, bring introduced at a late hour into Dr. Brad ford's house. she was admitted into the drawing room. She heard a carnage drive up to the door, and soon after, a Lady, richly dreseed, but evidently in the deepest affliction, entered the room with Dr. Bradford; who had an infant in his arms. The infant was delivered to her charge, and the mother, who was weeping, said to her, " Pray take care of my dear child, fur some day or other he will cease to a large estate." At Me time the room was darkened, sod the Ledy was enveloped in a thick veil, so that it was impossible to distinguish the Lady's features. The young man, with a natural anxiety to learn who his parents were,said that he had made Inquiries, and found that Dr. Brad- I ford sad left Harfordwreet, and was rending in Tottenham-court road, and he proceeded thither, and bad an interview with Mrs. Bradford. Ile Informed Mrs. Bradford that be was the boy who had been brought up by Mrs. Heim. of the Temple, as her me; but be had discovered that she was ant his mother, and that site ( Mrs. Bradford) could inform him who were his parents. Mn. Bradford said, " the secret of your birth is in my Wow, and "Ohl me it *ban die." She gave him a trifling sum of motley, sad awn I afterwards (in 1823) having a quarrel with• Mrs. Helm, he ..Bernd into the Royal Marines. In 1824 Mrs. Helm purchased his dia. charge. She bad repeatedly admitted that she was supplied with funds for his support from some persons unknown, and he had no • doubt that they were supplied through the hands of Mots. Bradford, who, be was confident, knew his parents, and was iseelhqng money to which he believed he was entitled. Mr. Mom uts said that it was a very extraonlinlriory, but it was told with the appearance of mach sincerity ; be should there. fore desire the ram to inform Mrs. Bradford that he should be glad of an interview with her. This (Saturday) morning, Mrs. Bradford appeared at this Office, and the young man was called be fore Mr. Minshull, when the following singular dialogue took place: Mrs. Bradford—l attend here at the request of one of your adiren; my name is Bradford. Mr. blissuuxt —This young man says that be believes he is en. titled to some property, and/hat you know who his parents ale. Mrs. Bradford—l know nothing of the lad. Mr. Mixsuutt —You must know who be is, Madam. Mrs. Bradford—l know something of him. Mr. Muumuu.—Tbea you ought to disclose it ; and I can tell you that a bill in Chancery may compel you to do what would be ally an act of humanity towards this young man. Mrs. Bradford—l know nothing of him, and lam tans a pence who can be easily intimidated. lam ready to swear, if you will give me the oath, that I know nothing of the lad. Mr. Mass rest—loo have this moment admitted that you know somehing Of him. Mrs. Bradford—l meant to say, Sir, that I knew that ha tuned at my house, and I bad given him money, and ho had been of gnat trouble to sue. Mr. hinisenn4-1 hope, Mrs. Bradford, you will have some re spect for the feelings of this youth, and that you will do as you world wish to be done by? Mrs. Bradford-1 know what is right, Sir. Mr. Mursormr —Then do what is right, Madam; OM of dis covery may compel you to do, as an act of justice, what would, at this moment, be au act of humanity. • Mrs. liradtord—l have elfired to swear that I know not his parents, and I now ask if you have any thing further to do with toe ? Helm—You must know something more than you kkink proper to disclose, because when I have asked you for money, you have told me that you would apply to my friends on the subject. Mrs.Bradford—Mayl uow go; is anything further wanted of me? Mr. hilassouLL—l do nor detain your but 1 had hoped that you would (without Sather proceedings) have thrown some light apse this very extraordinary affair. A Gentleman who sat on the Bench, who I. connected with one of the Houses of Parliameut, gave his card to the young mao and directed him to call upon ithh,pledging himself to assist bins in bring ing a bill of discovery into the Coen of Chancery ; and Mr. Mot saismc said he thought there were already grounds sufficient for taking that mode of proceeding.—The parties then left the office. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Saturday three persons of very fashionable appearance were brought up In rowdy of Goddard and Scholefield, to be admitted to bail on an indictment preferred against them for keeping a com mon gaming-house in the parish of St. Janses. Four persons pre seated themselves as bail, and were accepted, and hound in the sum of SOL each for the appearance of the defendants.—Mr.Heatb then requested the protection a the Magistrates against the violence of one of the defendants, who had threatened his life. The defendant declared that Mr. Heath's statement was false. Sir G. FAIIIII•NT said, that perhaps Mr. Heath would be satisfied if he entered into his own recognizance of SOL not to molest him. Mr. Heath said he did cot consider his life sale, but hr ultimately adopted.the Magistrates suggestion, and the defendants were dis charged. Mr. Parry, the master of the farm-house at Islington belonging to the parish of St. James, for the accommodation of its paupers, attended before the Magistrate to answer a complaint made against him the preceding day by two paupers, named Praocis Hales aod Charles Iliilyer, who alleged that Mr. Parry had, without any cause, expelled them front the farm-house, and had kept than. 'dillthere, in such a state of starvation; that they were obliged, in order to meet the cravings of hunger, to take away the life of *De o( the farm-house cats, and make a meal of it. . In reply to this charge, Mr. Parry said, in deftest place, that the conduct of these t ar. paupers had been of the MOW riotous and vio lent description, and that he had been compelled to turn them nut of the house. As fur the complaint of starvatim, Mr. Parry said that it was entirely false, for that be could clearly prove that the paupers of that establishment were always fed ia the best mangler, and en the most wholesome food. Het. Mr. Pan y heeded to the Magistrate a bill of fare of what was daily supplied to the in mates of the house, which consisted of good meats, soups, bread, vegetables, &e. in as suilicient quantities as could be required. —The veracity of this statement, and the tweeter's of the bill of fare, were supported, by the mideato of several patipers. These witnesses further stated, that the conduct of the two men Hales and Hitlyer. was so desperate, that all the other paupers entreated Mr. Parry not to let thesis come into the wards, as they dreaded violence from them, and that on Thursday last, out dawn wantonness anti mischief to have " a lark," as they called it, these two men seized one of the bedsteads of the place and jumped epos land tore it about until they smashed it in pieces. Sir Grottos FALBA= asked Mr. Parry if there wan any troth to the story these fellows told about the at ? Mr. Parry said, that he understood they actually did, through wanton wickedness, kill one of the cats In the place, but what they did with it he knew not ; but certain it was that, unless from a peculiar taste of their own, they had no necessity to eat it. Hales and Hillyer, who were both present all this tintepeach took a bone of the cat from his pocket, and held it up as an evidence of how they had disposed of it; and persisted in declaring that banger alone drove them to pick the bones so closely as they appeared. One of the other paupers said, that he very fully believed Hales and Hither did eat the cat, or some part of it, for that they sua.' doubtedly ham skinned, and afterwards boiled it in a pipkin; but if they did eat it, ther own fancy alone led them to do so. Sir O. PARLAYS said, that it was clear there was not the slig h test ground for the complaint made by then fellows against Mr. Parry, 1 and that be was quite right in turning them out of the house ; but this was not the only punishment to which they had subjected themselves, as they should presently find. The ?daisuraare then ordered one of the witnesses yrho saw the two fellows break the bedstead to be sworn as to that fact; after which he committed each of the cat-eaters to digest it by two mouths' exercise on the treadmill, under the Act against wilful injury to property. LABIBETH.STREIIT. Saturday Mr. Davis,ciiritia ;eft ;1. - Copestoke, of Cheap lade ; and Mr. Sttachan, of the &change, attended to receive the property stolen from them, which had been found in the several houses occupied by lkey Solomons. The Magistrate stated that there was no statute by which the property could be restored to owners under the existing drcumstances.

At the close of the Court, the same day on which the trial had taken place, some of the jurymen happening to meet at dinner, the circumstances of the trial became the subject of (cover. sation, and the alleged fact of the note being found on die prisoner's person was mentioned. This was overheard by the girl who waited at table,aod she straightway iaformed the company that she herself was the identical person who had found the note—not, indeed, upon the prisoner's person, but under the grate of the room in which he was sitting, and having so found it she had delivered it into the bands of the constable, upon the strength d whose evidence the Jury bad returned their verdict.... Upon finding this to be the case, the matter was ls closed to Mr. Justice BATLEY, and the result has bees the receipt of a free pardon for Whiteley, signet by the King, and dated the 20th instant.
