ri SENSIBILITY. BY THE LATE MRS. MORGAN, WIFE OF THE REV. DR. MORGAN, PREBENDARY OF ELY, AND RECTOR OF STREATILAM. " All-bounteous HEAVEN to me has given An open heart, a temper even, And sense to valise wit and worth, And prize the soul that gives it birth. It added to this generous store A taste for literary lore; And gave a tuneful Muse command In Helicon to dip my hand ; Without suspicion thence I drew A cup surcharg'd with sparkling dew. I eager drank.—But ah !—too .late I found 't was clash'd by envious Fate, And tinctur'd, in a high degree, With painful Sensibility. It gave a spirit like that morn, When cheerful, jocund May was born ; A liberal band, a guileless soul, And passions under due contreul ; Yet with all these I am not blest— A thought can rob my mind of rest; A word, a look, from one I love, Like magic ran my peace remove; Can fill my tender breast with care, And plant a thousand daggers there ; And, oh! unless I may resign, This cup, that 's falsely call'd divine, I fear my heart will ever is Too full of Sensibility. It fondly bade me wet attain, The prize of love devoid of pain ; And gave a soul from envy free, Without a spark of jealousy ; A breast as faithful as the dove, . • Alike in friendship as in love ; For others' griefs bestow'd a sigh— A soul that stands in either eye; When mart to suffer is decreed, When Justice sleeps, or Heroes bleed. Ye Pow'rs, who rule o'er human weal, And oft for human frai:ties Resume your gift, and set me free From too much sensibility." MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. HICKS'S HALL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER It This day the Sessions commenced, before Wm. NIA txwAarKo, Esq. and a few other of the Magistrates for the county. Thomas Nadia was indicted for an assault upon Elizabeth his wife. It appeared that the woman kept a public-house in Whitechapel-road. Several squabbles arose between them. The woman, after that house was disposed of, made interest with a brewer, and obtained possession of a second house. The unhappy jarring was renewed, and at length this house was shut up. Mutual charges of erimina tion and recrimination took place. The Defendant met his wife in Eishopsgate-street ; laid hold of and dragged her rather violently. The Jury found the Defendant guilty, and he was ordered to pay a fine of 13s. 4d. and to find sureties to keep the peace for the ensuing twelve months. Joseph Nash, a broker, in Well-sheet, near the Tower, and Peter Latcheau, a rag merchant, were indicted for an assault upon Charles Trew, the keeper of the Green Man, in I loxton, and Charles Hadding, a soldier belonging to the Tower Hamlets Militia, who was quartered in that house. On the other hand, thme was a cross indictirrent, by which, as usual in such cases, the parties changed sides. Nash and his friend were charged with very gross violence, in the former charge, whilst, by the oath of him and his friend, the fault was entirely on the other side. The Jury, however, gave credit to the story of the publican, the soldier, and some other persons present, who spoke to the same effect as they did. They found Mr. Nash guilty of the assault, and he was sentenced to one month's imprisonment in Coldbath fields prison. LONDON SESSIONS. Yesterday J. Hart was indicted for a violent assault (with intent to ravish) upon Hart, in the month of Decomber last. It appeared that the Defendant resided in the family of the Prosecutrix, in the neigh bourhood of Aldgate, and is by trade a butcher. On the day stated in the indictment, he induced the child to come up stairs into the bedroom, where he not only committed the assault, but actually corn coittel the rape.—The Jury found him guilty; and eie Court sentmced him to be imprisoned in Newgate for the t rm of two years. Peter Jones, a descendant of St. Crispin, was in dicted for an assault upon Charlotte, the wife of Mr. Nelson, portable soup,maker, in Three-King court, Fleet-street. Honest Crispin was employed to shut up a shop the corner of the alley, and as it appeared had given offence repeatedly. Mrs. Nel son was going to complain of him, when he 'stopped Lr, and held his fist in her face. This constituted the assault. The poor fellow was prepared with Counsel to defend him, and requested the witnesses might be examined apart; but the Court thought it so trifling a case, that they refused to accede to the requtst. Mrs. Nelson admitted, on her cross enunination, that she had told her husband, who was confined iu the Flat; and he next day got a day rule, and, singular as it may seem, the gallant Nelson forsook the Fleet, for that day he bore down upon the Cobler, and gave him a severe drubbing ; observing, that England expected every man to do his duty !" and his duty was to protect his wife. C.-isii;t: was found Guilt g; and the RECORDER ob served very good humouredly, that the drubbi ng h e had received should go in mitiga , ion of punishment ; and therefore ordered him to beg pardon of Mrs. Nelson, which Crispin did, assuring her, upon his sole, that he meant no offence. He then packed up his awl, took his last leave of the Court, and de clared himself rosined into propriety ! Sunday about noon, a fire broke out in a house in Kensiington ; at first it bore a formidable appear ance, but in consequence of the arrival of some engines, and the heavy fail of rain, it was soon extinguished -without spreading to any great extent. LANCASTER ASSIZES, BDM'. T. John Allmon was indicted for killing and slaying John Row Mason, in the town of Warrington, on the 16th day of July. It appeared that the prisoner was clever of a stage coach which runs from Liverpool to London. On the evening of the above day, the Warringston Volun teers were paraded, and the Colonel of them had treated them with 'some liquor, and they were in con sequence out as late as ten o'clock, with their band assembled, in a narrow street, and a large concourse of spectators round them, so that the street was com pletely blocked up. At this time the prisoner was driving his coach through the town, and when the horses were about to pass through the crowd, he flogged them ; this was supposed to be a wanton, careless act, which occasioned the deceased to be knocked down by the horses, both the off wheels went over his body, and he died in a few minutes after. A Captain of the Volunteers, who was on the spot, corroborated the above ; but on his cross-examination, he said the horses were frightened at the noise of the drums and fifes, appeared restive, and wanted to turn, which, if they had been permitted to do, the coach would have overturned. On the accident being discovered, a number of persons pursued the coach and stopped it on the bridge, and on telling the coach. man what was the matter, he wanted to go on with the coach, and said they must apply to the proprietor in that town. On the part of the prisoner, it was proved that the prisoner was driving steadily through the town, hol ding his reins with a tight hand ; he changed horses in Warrington, and they understood one of the fore horses was a young one, and only the second time being in harness. Before they drove off, one of the passengers held the horses' heads, while the prisoner walked on a few yards to desire the Volunteers, &c. to cleat away, as he was coming on with the coach. The prisoner drove through the crowd, and they did not know that any accident had happened till the coach was stopped on the bridge. The prisoner's master gave him a good character for being a regular, steady driver, &c. The prisoner has shewn much contrition since for the fatal accident, has given the widow of the de ceased ten pounds, and has settled seven shillings a week upon her. The Jury, under all the circum stances, found the prisoner Not Guilty. Henry Simplin, a young man of very genteel ap pearance, was indicted for having embezzled and se creted the sum of 481. 16s the property of his em ployers, Messrs. Cyrus, Morall, and Ever Morall, merchants, of Liverpool. • It appeared that the prisoner had served his clerk ship to the prosecutors, and conducted himself so ex tremely well, that on the expiration of his articles, they retained him in their employ upon a liberal sa lary, and he had the management of the Custom house and Excise business. A short time since he obtained leave from the Cashier to enter some cotton and worsted stockings. In a short time after they were entered and shipped, all the packages were seized by the Custom-house officers, and on the pro secutors' making inquiry as to the cause of the seizure, they were informed that they all had been entered as cotton stockings. The prisoner having entered them as such, and only paid X 1 Bs. cotton stockings being exported free of duty, and the prisoner had charged the prosecutors with having paid the regular duty, amounting to upwards of £49. The prosecutors gave the prisoner a most excellent character till this offence. The Jury found him Guilty, and the Learned Judge, in passing sentence, observed, that his crime was particularly aggravated by his committing depre dations upon the property of his friends, as well as employers, and had been the cause of their property being seized ; and he should have been induced to send him out of the country, had it not been for the good character he had sustained till he committed this offence, and he was in hopes this was his first offence ; however, his crime called for a severe pu nishment ; he, therefore, sentenced him to pay a fine of one shilling, and to be imprisoned, and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction, for two years. Jo: hua Herd was indicted under Lord Ellenborough's Act, charged with having cut, maimed, and wounded with a knife, Alice Barlow, alias Alice Herd, of Great Bolton. It appeared, that about ten years since, the prose cutrix was married to a man of the name of Barlow, who enlisted for a soldier ; he was sent abroad, and she did not hear from him for eight years, and she thought him dead ; she therefore married the pri soner. In the beginning of last March, John Barlow, her first husband, came to the prosecutrix, in conse quence of a furlough which he obtained; the prose cutrix, therefore, refused to cohabit with the prisoner any longer, and took toher first husband. After he had returned to kis regiment, the prisoner applied to the prosecutrix to live with her again, as he could not be happy without her : she, however, refused. On the 23d of April the prisoner followed the prosecutrix on the road leading from Bolton, and gave her a violent blow on her head, which knocked her into a ditch ; he then got upon her, with a knife in his hand, and she thinking he was going to cut her throat, struggled with him, and prevented him ; but he succeeded in cutting her left cheek open, from her mouth to her car. She screamed " murder !" and a man came to her assistance. The prisoner made off, but he was pursued and taken.—Guilty—Death. Sarah Hop:lead was indicted under Lord Ellen borossgh's Act, for having wilfully and maliciously stabbed Charles Simpson, of Little Bolton, with an intent to murder him ) or do him some bodily harm. Guilty—Death. The trial of all the prisoners being gone through, his Lordship proceeded to pass sentence of death upon Joshua Herd, for maiming and wounding Alice Barlow • Sarah Hopstead, for stabbing Charles Simp. son, with an intent to murder him ; Rose Gaffrey, for stealing five bundles and a half of linen yarn, in the• bleaching grounds of Peter Shawcross, of Droyles. den ; and Samuel Daine, for horse-stealing. On the Rioters being put to the Bar, Mr. Justice CII.IIIBRE 'addressed them at a considerable length upon the enormity of their offence, and told them, that had it not been for the lenity of the Attorney General, some of them must certainly have suffered with their lives. He was extremely sorry fur the hardness of the times, which they, set up as a cause for their conduct ; the manufacturers felt it severely as well as they did ; is fact, every class of society felt , . it in a degtee ; but we miist altsUbmit tb scime.prival Cons, as the cause was brought on us by the common enemy, and entild not be avoided; he, hOivevei,, was happy to learn, that a dawn of better times appeared. inefsf, and hyped .the prisoners, on their return to society; from experiencing the punishment due to their cri would enjoy them. The very 'Means they had re-. sorted to of attacking their masters and their proper ties, defeated its own object, for if those were de stroyed, they would not be able to get any emplOy ment. If the poorer classes were distressed, they must resort to the means the Legislature had provi ded—the parish, and not to violence. He had taken the Whole of their cases into his serious consideration. He was glad to find that the mobs did not pr6ceed in their conduct with that fury which in general attends mobs, and he should award punishment to ealh -of them according to the parts they had taken in the riots. John Hoyle and Charles Watson, for a riot at Line. side, in Haslinden and destroying the tools and Uten sils for weaving of William Eddleston, were sentenced the former , to be imprisoned twelve months, and Wat- son to six months imprisonment. John Shepherd, for a riot at Rochdale, and setting fire to the prison, to be imprisoned for two years. Thos. Barnes and John Mathews, for a riot at Black burn, and destroying the house of Henry' Coupland ; the former to six .months imprisonment, and Mat thews to be imprisoned for twelve months. - Adam Whitworth, for being in a riotous and unlaw ful assembly, in the parish of Rochdale, and extorting a guinea from the Rev. Dr. Drake ; to be imprisoned nine months. ' crimeisci James Ainsworth, for a riot at Blackburn, and de. molishing the house of Mr. Coupland ; to ke impri• soiled nine months. Elizabeth litakarley, for a riot at Blackbura, and demolishing the house of Mr. Coupland ; to three months imprisonment. SF:PT. 9.—On Wednesday afternoon, after finishing the business at the Crown Side, Judge CHANIIIIIE left the town, Baron WOOD having declined his assistance in trying the causes, he not being in a hurry to return to London. BAROX v. CRONtPTON. In this action a point of law was settled which is particularly interesting to mechanics, and in some de gree to the public at large, viz. that working-tools, when in actual use, cannot be seized for debt, the law not allowing those who are in debt to be deprived of the means of paying it. The action was brought by the plaintiff, who is a weaver, and resides in the neighbourhood of Chorley, and occupies a small house belonging to the defend ant, for having seized his four looms, when they were at work, for rent. The case was proved by a man who was at work at one of the looms. Mr. PARKE, who conducted the cause, under all circumstances, gave up the action, upon the defend ant consenting to abide by his original offer, to give up the whole demand of .501. for rent due, and the plaintiff undertaking to quit possession by Michael mas Day. JoyNsoN V. LEMON. In this case there were no particular circumstances that deserve public notice, but there are in those that' arose out of it. The plaintiff is a sailor, and the defendant keeps a slop-shop and lets out lodgings to sailors, in Liver pool. It was stated• on the part of the plaintiff, that in the year 1801., he lodged in the defendant's house, and purchased of his wife a watch for five guineas. In a few days atter, the plaintiff sailed for Africa and left the watch, new clothes, an old suit of clothes, and a hat, in the defendant's house. In three days after he had sailed, the defendant's wife, who is since dead, in the presence of a servant girl, observed, that the plaintiff was gone such a long voyage, that she was sure he would never return, and put his watch into the shop window and exposed it to sale, and it was sold ; and she had converted the clothes to her own use. In corroboration of this, a shoemaker, or cobler, was called, who stated, that the plaintiff bought the watch of the defendant's wife, in his presence, in his stall, when she brought « an apron full" of watches for him to choose from. Mr. RAISE, in cross-examining this witness, asked if he was not to share in the plunder of this action ? which he denied. Mr. R. addressed him by the name of Charley the Coller, a name he is known by in Livgr pool. '1 he witness took fire at this familiar and de grading appellation in Court—He was a Coretwinder, and that be had not come there to be insulted. The testy manner of this witness set the whole Court in a convulsion of laughter—The Judge joined most hear tily in the laugh. Mr. RAINS continued his cross-examination in a considerable strain of irony, tending to chew the improbability and absurdity of the idea of a woman going with her apron full of watches into a cobler's stall, to sell one to a sailor at the time he lodged in her house. This being the plaintiff's case, Mr. PARKE addres sed his Lords:tip, by observing, that there was not the least colourable proof of the conversion of the proper. ty adduced. His Lordship, however, thought there was, and that the plaintiff had made out a case. The Learned Judge summed up the evidence very impartially, still abiding by his opinion, of a con version of the property having been satisfactorily proved. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages eigkt guineas. In an action respecting the right of a road—Mr. HOLROYD was cross-examining a woman ; he pressed her to answer a question upon her oath; at the same time she trembled very much. Mr. H. suspecting she had riot told him the truth, asked her the cause of the tremor that was upon her ? After some hesitation, she answered him very fiercely, " that he was enough to frighten any body !" At this the Learned Gentleman sat down quietly, and joined in the general laugh against himself.
