LAW INTELLIGENCE. • COURT OP Xmas BENCH, Gen.onass, JAW. IS. ILLIMAL DIBTRIDI3.—DUTTON V. MINIM. This action was broughtt by the plaintiff, the pro rieror Of a lodging-house at Tunbridge Wells, against the late Sheriff if Kent, for illegally seising and selling furniture. The plaintiff complained that being owner of certain goods in a dwelling-house, called Bath Hasse. at Tonbridge Wells, the Silesia!' entered and took those goods, without suit or process against the said plaintiff. Tile cause was conducted by Mr. GURNZT and Sir J. &ABEAM Mr. CAMPBBLL and Mr. F. Pottocx were Counsel for the defendants. The plaintiff, who formerly carried on business as a .stationer in Queen-street, was related to a person named Bramwell, the owner cf several houses at Tunbridge Wells. let out as furnished lodgings. Bramwell, in consequence of difficulties, was demi us °f selling part of that property, and a contract was entered into, by which the plaintiff agreed to take a lease of one of the houses, called little Beth House, ani to pay for the furniture 1911. The money, according to the testimony of a witness, was paid to Bramwell, and the lease exe cuted. The Sheriff some time after came in, and took the furniture at the suit of Brigg, one of Biamwell's cress ditors. The question was, whether the gouda taken by the Sheriff belonged, boat:fide, to the plaintiff? . M. CAMPBELL, on the part of. the defendants, en deavoured to prove the sale was a colourable trans acti,,n, to defeat the creditors of Bramwell, who had become a bankrupt. There was also an endeavour to set up the claim of the assignees and that of a judgment creditor against the plaintiff's claim to the goods; but the'Learned Counsel failed in these points. Lord Termer:me left the Jury to decide upon the question. whether the goods had been fairly purchased ? and the Jury found a Verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages, 1911. THB KING V. IiAMOILL FRANCIS BIEIEB. Alta CAMPBBLL stated, that this was an indictment for pe jut y against Samuel F. Somes, a ship-chandler, resid.ng a• Ratcliffe. It appeared by the statement 4-f the Learned Counsel, that Mr. King. the prosecutor, had carried on the business of a ;ail-maker in Lime house. The defendant, who had considerable connec tion in the shipping interest, proposed to King to enter into partnership with him and his brother Joseph comes. who was then abroad. After some conference on the subject, they both went to Mr. Shave, attorney to Mr. Scares, for the purpose of giving instructions relative to 'freeing up the deeds. Mr. Somes gave these in structions, by which a deed was to be prepared, securing one-third share of the profits to Mr. King. Mr. Somes, however, altered the tesmr of the draft, and introduced a clause that Mr. King's name should . not appear iu the business, although that should nest` alter his claim to one-third share of the profits.— King ultimately agreed to this arrangement, and a new deed was ordered to be drawn up by Somes. Mr. Slave , prepared and sent it to Sumer, who made no objection to it. The deed, however, was never executed, Souses alltgihg as an excuse they had better deter it till Joseph Some, same t ,, England. A dispute arose relative to berme partnership accountr, and a bill was filed in Chan cery by Mr. King against delendas t, to which, defen dant put in answer, denying that any in tructiuns had es er been given by him for preparing the second draft for a deed if pat tuership. This was the fact upon which he was indicted, as Mr. King and others would prove that ate had given directions, and had received the dealt without o' jetting to it. The Le,rned Counsel then called Mr. King, who, in hi. cross examination, admitted having said that his only motive for this indictment was to !sting ab-ut an adjustment of the transactions between hint and defendant. After the case for the prosecution had closed, Sir J SCA RLISTT, for the stefendat t, submitted to the Court that there was no case to go to the Jury. The LORD CH lee Justice interposed, and said he was of opir.ion that the safest course would be for the Jury to acquit the defendant. He could not look very fa 'Durably upon an indictment brought for the purpose of compelling a party to come t r a settlement of dif fer. nets. Vet thct—Not Guilty. ADMIRALTY SESSIONS, JANUARY IS. OLD COURT, OLD BAILEY.. Captain George Gideon Keith Barclay, the master of a vessel called the Eases, was indicted for vi ilently as saulting Christiana Waller, his servant, on the 9th and 16th of May. 1826, and the 27th of January, 1827. It appeared by the evidence of the prosecutrix, that s• e was hired as an attendant urn Mrs. Barclay, in Nov. 1826. The vessel was then guing upon the South Seas. An accident happened to one of the Cal•t.tin's children, by which its arm was broken. The motring atter the •cci.:ent, the child was knocked down by a goat, and its arm was again irjured. The Captain came from the sleeping cabin, and •truck the protecutriz with his .t in the most u iniescifui manner , desired her to go out of the ca';in upon heck, and act c me awe again, declaring she wowd base ruttliiim but a little water for a whole Neck, anti mitered l:er bed to be taken araY, which w s done by Mts.

He then desired that she should have nothing but brown hiscusts and water for the re,t of the voyage. This rirdrr was bt:ictly adhered tortoni t' e 27th of January till the 16 h of October. At otter tames the Captain had taken hold of her arm, and put her lout aid among the men. The proaecutria was subjected to a long trim— ex rui nation by Mr. ADOLPHUS, when she st.ted that she had lived in very respectable places before ►he went oil board the Essc=. She admitted that mite: her bet was taken away, she reposed in the berth of the second mate, who it a man of colour; she denie•i tbat site had gone to t.ther berths, but she was forced to take shel ter somewhere. Remembers once ►leeping on the It.ckers in hot weather, but it was by the orders of the Ca pt4in. - The crwecutrix wished the second mite (Gardiner) to be esimined. Upon bis being called, it was with the greatest ddlicalty be could be persuaded so cease into the boa. When thwe he first stated be was eat, then that be wps sad seemed eery orreete to be examined. Atter massy cpiestinns by the Learned JUDGE, t.i which no direct answers could be got, it was deter. mined not salmi his evidence. James Simi s a s the ship', cooper, was then cared. Ile had never seen the proseeutiis beat the child ; be lu:sed the Captain struck bee ; the prosecutrix wag a hiygb mett:ed awl bad a great /12w of Whits; Ac itossediately oedemata to return it. Heard her eel , ti e Captain a whits-liver.ed rascal. Always thought the Captain a good-natured man. This was the case for the prosecu•ion. Mr. Apor.rmus addressed the Jury on behalf of the defendant. The prosecuttis had called witnesses to prove what she had /tired, almo.t every fact of which they had disproved. She was a woman of such a cha racter as to be utterly unfit to be within the pales of any decent family. He trusted the Jury would never find his client guilty on her evidence. Boned wretch. Robert DAnielr, chief mate, had repeatedly seen the prosecutriz in a drunker► state, lying upon the lockers in the most indecent manner, and had agitatedly remon .strated with her. John Kinder, the steward, had also seen her in this state; he had himself slept with her upon the lockers. The prosecutrix had the same allowance as all on b and the ship had. The Captain was a humane kind hearted man. She was not fed on biscuits and water. Several other witnesses sere examined, who strongly corroborated the testimony previou.ly given. The Foreman of the Jury here interrupted, stating they were quite satisfied, and had made up their minds. They found the defendant Guilty of the assault, but taking all the circumstances into considerati• n, they thought a very small, if any, fine should he levied. Mr. Justice LirrictLita observed if that were so it would be unnecessary for him to read his note.. The COURT then ordered the defendant to be fined I s. - - - -- - MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, JAN. 15. Samuil Protiason was indicted for a nuisance. The defendant pleaded guilty ; but Mr. ALLEY, on the part of the prosecution, said he should nevertheless call some of his witnesses, as the defendant had acted in the most disgusting manner. He kei t a number of %fetched bears, some abominable dogs, and other poor animals, whom he delighted to torture• Two or three times a week he had a sixpenny exhibition, when these poor animals were made to tear each other to pieces, in order to amuse a set of low vagabonds. Ueorge Woods deposed that the defendant had for the last f rut years kept a pit in Green Dragon. yard, Holborn, for the exhibition of badger and bear baiting. The lowest blackguards assembled there, and the ex• hibi ion was a great nuisance to the neighbourhood. Another witness deposed, that when there was what they called a full house, the people assembled made a most hideous noise, and the inhabitants were alarmed by cries of murder. The defendant put in a written paper in mitigation of punishment, in which he stated that he had sixteen children to provide for, but that he would discontinue the nuisance, and endeavour to get his livelihood alto• ther way. The tIfAIRMAW told him- he had been guilty of a great offence, and sentenced him to six montld impri sonment. The defendant exclaimed bitterly against the sen tenae, but was told that if he behaved well, and it was frundtharcrhe rmisance was actually 4iscontinued, the Court would probably diminish the period of imp& sonment. John Ward was indicted for an sluttish upon John Smith, ore of the bailiffs of the Sheriff's Coati, on the 17th of October. Mr. C. l'itit.t.tes stated the case for the prosecution, which he said was a most aggravated one, and it was a very fortunate thing for the defendant that he had been stop; ed in his violent conduct, for if some one had n. t interfered he would nio.t certainly have been tried for his life at the Old Daley. John Smith deposed, that he accompanied another pe.sun on the day named in the indictment to a shop in the Edgwa:e road, where the prisoner was at wi rk, to ariest him for debt. Whilst witness was speaking to him, the defendant took up a hand-saw and .truck him a violent blow on the head, and cut through hia hat,se ear ing that he would not suffer any officer to acre t him.' A witn-ss corrobcrated Smith's testimony, and said he bad no doubt that if the defendant had b-en suffered to repeat the blow, death must have ensued. The prisoner in his defence said, he did not mean to hurt the officer, and when he struck him he scarcely knew what he was &thou'. He then called a witness, whose account, however, rather served to aggravate his offence. The Jury forma the defendant Guilty, and he was sen. tented to six months imprisonment. The officer however recommended him to mercy, and the estatastaa mitigated the puu.ishment to 3 months. Two toys, named Hill and Reader, were indicted for an aggravated assault upon a man named Cror•k. They called two women in their defence, but their evidence was of such a nature that the Chairman told the Jury he had no doubt they had spoken tal.ely, and remarked, that the practice of getting up false evidence was utdortunately carried to a great extent. The.iury found them both Guilty, and the Court sen tenced Hill to b: imprisoned three months, and Reader two. John Russell, William Russell, Jo/in King. George Desbrolv, ihdeliffe Pond, and Thomas Pearce, were in dicted for leve l ins a common ganiii,g house s _in King sti eet, J flies's, but as uo one appeared against them, they were di►charged. Charles Aladson, a young man of most fashionable append Auer, was indicted with another person, not its cu.tody. with It. epiog a ktivirder:y house. Sli. ALUM, on the part s i he parish, applied to have the Cabe put off until neat Sessions. COURT, on being ii formed that the defendant month.' imprisonment uneipitecl of a truer sentence, grant. d the application. Benjanoix Bruce and his wife, Mar, Brute, pleaded Guilts in an indictment charging them with keeping a disoi..e.ly house eh New street Cte,cei t, Enston•square. Mr. ALLEY, for the prosecution, said he understood that tl , e defendant had given up tile keys of the house to the la,tdlotd; be could tberefute consent to tbett entering into their own recognizance of 501. each to arpear when called upon to receive judgment. This was accordingly done, and they were discharged. The Sessi , n, then adjou:ned till Friday next. SOUTHWARK SESSIONS. Jun. 13. These Sebsima commenced this day, before the Right Hos. tMe Law MAUL Alderman AnottY, and the Rtc 'NM*. Wm. Wikon was inflicted for a brutal assiult upon klanuab Wilton, ht. wife. The prosecsorrs said, she lead been minded to the de. fendant 15 rear~, but lived separate from him, having learnt he had two other !sive% living. On the 22d of Jr.ly she sent t.) him, by the advice irt the parish ofTscers z't orges, 1e claim relief, when he t• !d fer sae had no right to ail, and, on her requiring at least a part of the furnitioe she brought I ion struck bet several blows, one on t:!e breast so violently, that she had sacred severely f om effects tel it fr.r threes weeks.

Sbe was • w itness to the defendant's violence. and herself applied fomentat ions to the pro ecut r it's breast, who was without weans to procure medical aid. On the pan I f the &fence, witne..ses were called (smong them the honsekee i er of the defend sot), to prove both the prosecutrix and her ra itnes to he abotdoned characters; but th. it evidence was disbelieved. and the Jury found the def-natant Guilty. The itscoamta sentenced - him to three months' im prisonment in the Borough Compter, and to find secu rities, himself in 501. and two in 251. each, to keep the peace for two years. The Court adjourned to Tuesday, the 27th. SURREY SESSIONS, JAN. I. These Sessions commenced this morning before Mr Sergeant &macs, and upwards of 30 Cotinty Magis trates, among whom weir %Y. J. Damson, and C N. PA Liman, Esq. aI.P. The Gram, Joey having been sworn, the CHAIRMAN addressed them to the la.lowimg *effect :—He pet ceived by the Calendar that there were between 60 and 70 pi i. soners for trial. He regretted that, note ithstandiog the repeated assertions to the contrary in certain public prints, crime continued to increase. It might, perhaps, be in some degree attributed to the inctease of popu lation. Whatever might be the cause, it was an undeniable fact that society was at present in a very demoralised state. Certain measures were in the con- templation of the Legislature, which he trusted would have the effect, in a great degree, of r. medying the evil. The Police Committee appointed by the House of Commons had not yet brought their labours to a close. His Hon. Fiends right and left (the two Nlembris fin Surrey). had been actively enga ed on that Comm t ee, and he had no douht their lab urs mould lead to a be e -6cial result. The state of the police was a subject that required great and serious deliberation. It was far more important to prevent crime than to puni.h it. Surrounded as the metropolis was by charitable a.:(1 henevoleut insti tutions, it was a matter of sus pt ise that crime shg uld to such an alarming ez:ent. There was one institution which he never lost sight of on occasions like the present. Nest to the prevention of crime, the grand object was to afford the means of employment to those who, having been convicted ti offences, evinced a dispo , ition to re form their conduct, and who, but for such institutions as the Surtey Reluge for the Destitute, whet, they were dischatg from prison, had no alternative but to return to their former evil courses. In a sermon recently delivered in Brixton gaol, the Chaplain ver) properly remarked, that although there mete some who were so hardened in crime as m he *deaf to every admonition, yet there mere others oho gladl) availed themselves of the golde i rippottutrity afforded them by the Refuge to return m the path or honesty. In that asylum they met with no reproaches for their past misconduct; there weir no taunts made use of towards them, and they had an r ppm Cosily afforded them of again becoming useful members of society. The Chairman concluded by calling the attention of the Grand Jury to some aggravated cites 'of assauk contained in the Calendar. The Grand Jury having retired, several reports of the state of the different prisons were read. It ap peared that in the gaol of Kingston-upon-Thames, the number of persons committed was twenty four, out of which number f orteen were for offences against the Game Laws. No trial of any importance took place this day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL Ruliert Ituberts, a rather diminutive young man. was brought before Mr. Alderman Maces yesterday for ie•essniinetion, charged with stealing some articles of apparel, eke. the rupee ty of Mary Ann Chandler, spinster. . . . Mary Ann Ch andler stated, that the prisoner hadypid his ad dres A's to her, and, after rather a lung courtship; she comae:Rt . -4 law Michaelmas to be come his wife; and it vraeattevdtlial the wedding should take place at his father's whhlieed, bevaid, lathe coveitry ;- and he took Ann's wedding cloilWs lend. otter aniciakto send down by the coach, but never visited Ann again. She inquired flit him at Mr. Wilde's office, and there the was informed that be had bren discharged—that he was a married man, and that a peat number of young girls were inquiring after him. On Friday it was dis covered where the prisoner lodged, andise was taken into custody. A pawnbroker produced severer* made' of wearing apparel and a watch which had beets pawned by the prisoner, and they were identified by Ann Chandler as tier property; the watch she bad lent the prisoner. The prisoner, in reply to a question from the Alderman, said be was certainly married. The Alderman said he wouldµ certainly" send him to trial, and remanded him to rise time for the attendance of other pawnbrokers with whom lw had pledged part of Mary Ann Chandler's property. Almeria: Rice, a hawker, was charged with defrauding Juba Dyer,, a hoot maker, in Poppiii'vcouit, Fleetattrett. o( 254. by selling him a worsted shawl (a Glasgow Cachemere), value 6s. for a real camel's hair. Dyer stated, that the prisoner called upon him a kw days since, and representing this shawl to have been smuggled from France, induced him to exchange a pair of boots and • pair of shoes for it. He soon discovered the value of his bargain, and when 'Jae prisoner called again he gave hem in charge. It was stated the value of a camel's hair shawl of this size was fifty pounds. So you thought you might fairly boy an article worth £5O for 2111. You bad better not tell me you believed it to be smuggled, observed the Alderman to the complainant. . But it was not smuggled. replied the complainant; I did not know camel's hair was so valuable.
