SUDDEN DEATH. Oh! who could have thought when he passed by that miwning. So firm was his iootatep, so bright was his eye ) !tad the blossoms of FL 31'11 every feature adorning— Oh ! who could have thought that so soon he must die ? Yet I saw him at noon, and an ominous sadness Wershadosved and darkened his fine manly brow; And•that face, which so oft was expressive of gladness, - Seent'd suddenly alter'd, and comfortless now I saw him at night—on his bed he lay dying, His lips were fast changing from vermil to blue ; And his children around him were bitterly crying, As he Itisi'd them, and blest them, and bade them adieu! I saw him again on the dawn of the morrow— But Nature was vanquished, the struggle was o'er, His Soul had forsaken her partner in sorrow, And fled to that place where distress is no more! ASSIZE IN I ELLIGENCE. NORWICH, AVOUST 10. Before the Loma Culler BA or. PENTON, GENT. V. THIJIITILL, ESQ. Mr. &Data TAYLOR said, this action had Leen brought by Mr. Francii Tarrant Fenton, a solicitor, residing in London, against Thomas Thurtell, Esq. an Alderman of this City, to tecover the sum of 4091. which was the araount of the costs incurred by him in the defence of John Thurtell, the son of the defendant. There was a count for work and labour, and the usual money coun•s. • Mr. Sergeant SToßitaa said, it was with great reluc tance that his client had resolved upon bringing before ' a Jury the just, and he believed, legal claim which he had upon the defenclapt, for the amount of his present demand, as he was exceedingly anxious to.avoid giving pain to any persons, by reviving in the public mind recollections of a circumstance which every person in this reading and populous country had been made ac quainted with. The action was brought to recover from the father of that extraordinary and ill-fated young man, John Thurtell, the amount of the plaintiff's bill of cost, incurred in defending the son ; and whether it was _wise in the defendant to resist the claim—or whether it would not have been wiser and more considerate that he should not have compelled the plaintiff to bring again before the public facts which he should have con ceived the defendant would have been anxious to have buried in oblivion—the issue of the trial would thew.— It would be proved, that when John Thurtell was charged with the murder of which he was aft rwards convicte 4 , the present defendant and two of his friends entered into some negotiation with Mr. Jay, a Solicitor et Norwich. for the purpose of employing a London Attorney.-It could not be imagined that a father would be dead to the fee'ings of a parent, and stand aloof on such an occasion. Mt. Jay proceeded to London, in 'consequence of an arrangement with the defendant and his two friends, and the plaintiff was employed. The twa Gentlemen he alluded to were Mr. Usithanke, an attorney of Norwich, and Mr. Alderman Bolingbroke; and at a meeting with Mr. Jay; they said that 101. was quite sufficient to pay for John Thurtell's defence. How •Mr. Unthanke, - an attorney, could think so. was sur pris ng. Mr. Fenton was no party to that conversation, ant it was quite preposterous and absurd to say that a rase of that description could he defended for so small a sum of money as 101. they might as well have men tioned the smaliest coin in the realm. When Mr. Fenton was. first applied to, nothing was said to him by Mr. Jay, 'that the defendant would n•t be pledged to pay more than 101. and the plaintiff imnredrate•y proceeded, with .all possible diligence and activity, in preparing the de. fence of John Thurtell. Some of the Magistrates of Ileitford having refused Mr. Fenton admission to the gaol, to see his cliznit, he found it necessary to apply In the King's Bench for a mandamus, as he could be 4'f no service to the unhappy prisoner unless he .had a personal c mmunication with him. The Cow t of King's Bench granted the mandamus, and the expense of the application formed part of the claim which the plaintiff sought to recover by this action. The newspapers at that time published ex-parle statements, not calculated to create the best effects as regarded the prisoner; and .hlt. Fenton, at the legal guardian of his client's interests, applied to the Court of King's Bencji for criminal infor mations against the proprietors and publishers of several papers. The costs of these proceedings were vet y large ; but Mr. Fenton asked for no more than the bare ex penses he had been put to, and required nothing for his time and professional services. He had performed his work faithfully, and the charges were fair professional charges. Upon an application b lag made to the de fendant for payment of the plaintiff's bill, he said that lie had not employed the plaintiff about the mandamus or the criminal information'. Part of the 4001. the plaintiff admitted to have received from different sour. cos, and the Jury, after hearing the evidence, would say 'what further sum he was entitled to. Mr. John Munday—l am a solicitor of Norwich.— .. The plaintiff was my agent in London; I took a copy of the plaintiff's bill to the defendant, and also a letter from the plaintiff, in June, 1825 ; the letter ptoduced is a copy. If I did not read the le:ter, I acquainted the defendant with the substance. I believe the Alderman teal the letter, or I read it to him ; it was dated June 23, 1b25. Croz-examined by Iklr.KELcr —A conversation took place b tweet) me and the Alderman, and I told him that if he would p e ea penes which Mr. Fenton had incurted in defending his son, he would forego his • charges for loss of time. The letter, which is as follows, was then read: " Demi regret excredingly that Alderman Martell should compel me to take measures for the recovery of my bill, wbich are to me equally unusual and unpleasant. I took up the case merely as a matter of busint is, and although I naturally, daring its progress felt a strong interest in my unfortunate client, set, I must confess it would be matter of sorrow to me to have my . name again coupled in a Court of Justice with that he bore; yet j ustice to my s elf and fa mily requires it. I feel sincerely fur his father, and would willingly make a sacrifice of the time devoted to the defence of Mr. John Mundt (which I could ill spare at the period) if the Alderman would reimburse me my actual expenditure. I ant happy in the itilection that my services were of a value to my client, which can not be estimated by any earthly criteria; the Alderman, as a re- P. ctir , g and a father, would be gratified on learning that the respte obtained after the tarsi Assizes, was employed not more in en deavouring to protract his existence in this world than in pre• p.cing him for another. Many hours of serious conversation I had with 'annoy(' I have sincere pleasure in the belief that it was not stile-spent. I occasionally found him in his ceU ardently engaged in devotion; this is a fact known only to myself, because John Thurtell, with a feeling very common, but not the less unaccount . . . . . - . able, was ashamed or my mentioning it. This surely was an end words obtaining, even at the espense occasioned by the postpone ment of the trial. If, however, the Alder man should still retht Aly claim,-pray wait on him for the name of his attorney, as i alsoidd be sorry to put him to any personal inconvenience. s' 1 am, dear Sir, faithfully yours, FRANCIS T. FENTON." " London, June, 1821 Witness re•examined by Mr. TAILOR—The defend ant said that an interview had taken place between Air, Jay, Mr. Tinthanie, and Mr. Alderman B dingbioke.i who were of opinion that 101. would be sufficient; he had paid that sum, and he ssould pay nn more; he said that if a shilling would di‘ch t•ge Mr. Fenton's bill he wi old not pay it; he did nut say *My thing about the mandan as or the criminal informations. Mr. am an attorney at Norwich ; I was pressed to undertake the defence of J )hn Thurtell; I had meetings with the defendant on the subject; the first was in October, 1823; 1 called ulaan t're Alderman to know if he would defray the expense of his son's de fence. and he replied that he should leave it to his friends; 'I afterwards met Mr. Unthanke and Alderman Bolingbroke at the defendant's house, and the defend ant appeared not disposed to go to any great expense; I called in two or three data afterwards to know to what extent the defendant would go; I saw Mr. Unthanke and Mr. Bolingbroke; and they said they should not advi,e the defendant to go beyond 101. I went to Lon don and saw the plaintiff, and communicated with him out the subject of the defence, and the plaintiff was em ployed to conduct the defence; the charges in his bill are fair and professional ; I told Mr. Fetlion about the conversation with the defendant's friends, as to the sum of 101. being suffici,!at for the prisoner's defence, hot 1 amnot sure if that was before or after the plaintiff had taken his first journey from London to Hertford; I believe it was !boot the time the application was made to the King's Bench for a mandamus, and before motions were made against the London newspapers. By Mr. KILLLY.-1 remember that Mr. Alderman Thurtell said, if I could pledge myself as to my belief of his son's innocence, he would stop at no expense; I did not so pledge myself ; at all theinterviews with the defendant and Iris friends the expense of the defence was limited to 101. which had been paid ; the 101. was to be paid to Counsel for cross examining witnesses. Re-examined—l told Mr. Unthanke that I shoed employ a. London Attorney; I have been paid by the defendant the expenses which I 'natured on going London, and on other matters connected with , John Thurtell's defence; the sum of 1001. has' biers paid to the plaintiff through my hands; that is curly one fourth of the plaintiff's cla;m. Mr. Sergeant SummEs said, this was his case. The LORD Clams BanoN said, that there was ma evidence to .go to the Jury, proving the defendants' liability to pay the claim.— Plaintiff no.tsuited. • lIR IC lIION, Arcrsz ls. The Sussri Ass!zrts c )rnmence at Lewes this day, the commission having b en opened on Saturday after , noon by Mr. S2rgeant SPANKIK, in, the absence of the Judges, Mr. Justice PARK and bir.Juuiee GARBLES, who were detained at Croydon by the heavy business. A great deal of dissatisfaction is es pressed by the Soli citors and suitors at the short time (only three days) which has been allowed for these Assizes. There•ate at present several r colonels from the last Assize, and as there are nearly thirty causes, of Which five are special Juries, for trial now, some of which are expected to be very long, there will no doubt he a great many rrmatuds again. There are only seventeen prisoners to be fried in the C►own Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE Whom Pose, a mariner on board of the ship London, from Rot terdam, was brought before the Loan Marisa and Aldetman Thompson, upon an information charging him with having been found on board that ship when it was liable to . seigure. with 4 knowledge of that liability. The penaltiliiiste yeas' •seririee fu kis Majesty's navy. Benjamin Donn , an inspector in his Majesty's Customs. stated, that on the Bth of August he went on board the Loudon, accompanied by John Davis, his watermae. Upon searching the vessel, be found a bag of cigars and a bag of tobacco, contealed un der the coals. Witness immediately seized the vessel and cargo, and gave tbem,in charge to Davis. John Davis stated that he was preitnt at the seizure, and that he delivered the vessel and goods at the Custoni-hons.t. He after wards went, in con , eqtrenee of information which he had received, to the prisoner's lodging in Church.lane, Whitechapel, and heard a conversation between him and Captain Gibbs, of the London, in which the prisoner tad the Captain that he bad brought the goods on board. Captain Gibbs stated that having been informed of the seizure of the vessel and cargo, he did all in his power to ascertain by whom the tobacco bad been smuggled, and he was told that Page was the offender. Upon chargiug hint with having caused such inconvenience, Page said that he was very sorry fur having done so; but be hoped the Captain would do all he could to get an amelioration of the punishment. Page then acknowledged that he had not received assistance from any person in stowing the tobacco. . . The quantity of tobacco that had Lien stnuggled was, it was pored, 161 h. The LORD Ilaros asked the prisoner what he had to say in tits defence? Tie prisoner aid that he would leave it to the mercy of the Court. The Loan MAYOR—We have no discretion whatever, unfortu nately, in cases of this description. The law is imperative. It is quite a new one. The Solicitor for the prosecution stated, that no leas than two notices had been stuck up in the birth of the prisoner, cautioning all on board front smuggling, and stating that John Nichol! hid been committed to the tender for having concealed 61b. of tobacco. The LORD Nami—Thai case of Nicholl'a I thought a very bard one, as it was evident that he was not aware that be was offending against the law. But this is a very different ease. Captain Gibbs stated that he had taken particular care to caution all his men against smuggling : he bad done more—he had not only pasted up notices to the effect above stated,'but be bad jot 500 of them printed at' his own expense, and distributed amongst the ships at Amsterdam and Rotterdam. The warrant of contrnittal was dun signed, and the prisoner was taken to the tender. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday, a young mass, of most respectable connections, was brought up by Vincent, ass officer, from St. John's watch-hou•a, charged with stabbing a man named Hubbard with a clasp knife. From the statement it appeared that about eleven o'clock, on Saturday night, Hubbard was sitting in company with some friends in the Hornallfiblic-house, St. John-,sreet, when the prisoner came in, partially intoxicated and covered with flour. Without sitting down, ►e commenced stating, that he had been very ill-used in ano ther public-house, and wished he could get hold of the person who had done it. During the relation of instal*, the prisoner received a slap, termed a bonneter, on the crown of his hat ; and, at the sane time, Hubbard leaving the room, was supposed by the prisoner to have been the individual who struck him. Pri. sower instantly rushed after hint into the street, and aimed a blow at his body, which Hubbard warded of, as also a second; but, in the same instant, received a thrust in the left thigh, with a sharp instrument which was then first observed to be in the prisoner's hand. Hubbard, who is much the stronger man, oil finding himself wounded, laid hold of the prisoner by the collar, and dragged him into the Horns ; be, during the struggle, making attempts to repeat the blow. A watchman was immediately called in, and, with considerable difficulty, he was disarmed, and secured in the watchhouse. By this time Mr. Austen, a surgeon, had ar rived, and on exlmining the wounded roan, found the stab to be about two inches in depth, and of so serious a description, that be recommended his immediate removal to Si. Bartholomew's Hospital. Hubbard was very far front being out of danger, and was quite unable to be removed from the bed on which be was first laid, the wouni being of a very serious tendency. The prisoner appeared to feel acutely the situation in which he stood, and scarcely lifted his head during the examination. He was ultimately remanded until Hubbard shall be considered out of danger. A Gent reman named Topham , residing in Camden-town, appear ed to answer the charge of assaulting a watchman, named John Collins, on Saturday night. Collins, in a roundabout and prevaricating manner, stated that about eleven o'ilock on Saturday night, he " seed the german" in Platt•sereet, and ordered him to go on ; this he refused and alauged complainant shamefully, who then took him to the watchhouse. Mr. LAING-410w did he assault you ; did he strike you ? don't know, your Worship somebody did. Mr. Lainc —Were you drunk or sober at the tithe? Take care of yourself, Sir. Collins (hesitatingly)—Why, ynnr Worship, T can't any! was sober. Mr. Cats° —I thought as nivel'. Pray, Sir (to Mr. Topham), what answer dd yon make to this charge? Mr. Topham said, that he was a housekeeper residing on . the spot, and at eleven o'clock came obt of the Camden Arms. At the door be met Collien,the watchtban,who asked him to give bim a glass of gin and Water, stating that it *as due to him for some service done previously. He ( r. T.) not even knowing the man, and alma perceiv ing him to be intiniated,refused to treat him, and proceeded towas ds his own haute, to within a few yards of which he was followed by Collins,wbo, all the way,kept ordering bim fo walk on, and using the most abusive and disgusting language, declaring that he was as good a man as half the pretended Gentlemen, and occasionally pushing him forward with his bludgeon. He (Mr. Topham) at length turned, and declared that if he (Collins) dud not go to his duty, his conduct should be reported: on which Collins seised him by the collar, shook bins, and dragged him to the watchhouse, where, fur a considerable time, the night constable refused to take the charge, when Collins became so outrageous and insolent, that the charge. was booked, on purpose to have the matter properly investigated. Lorimer, the officer of the night, was about to corroborate part of Mr. Topham's statement; but the Magistrate declared it had turned out just as be had anticipated, and ordered the parties to change places, When Mr. Tophain having been sworn to the truth of his statement, Collins was ordered to find bail ; and Mr. Lasso gave 'directions that his conduct ehould be reported in the proper quarter, until which time he should be suspended from his' duty.— He was then locked up in default of bail. MARY : LA-BONNE OFFICE., Yesterday Mrs. Mary M•Nevin, a handsome young woman, was charged with assaulting ilr. Charles APNevin, her brother-in-law, in llathbone.place, yesterday morning; with following hint to the house 6J Mt. Burn, No. 9. Percy-street, and creating an immense mob around the door. Mr. C. M.Nevin having sworn to the assault, and two tonstibles having proved that the mob extended across Percy-street, so as to obstruct the progress of carriages, the Lady was calied upon for her defence. She represented herself to be, by virtue of hcr marriage settle. anent, independent of her husband, which circumstance bad occa pinned a separation, and she believed him to be secreted in Mr. Burn', house. , - . . Or. C. hl`Nevin, on the part of his brother, declared it was Im• possible for him to live with her. He said she had turned his house in George-street into a biotite!, and, together with three or four in famous women, her intimates, had torn his face so that he was opliged to take shelter in I'ercyrreet.—She was held to bail. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday, Mr. Lang, a gunmaker, in the Haymarket, applied to Sir G. FA .• fur his adricroo know how he should get rid of a horse and chaise, or, in other words, stow he could recover a per cession gun by Probin, of the value of 14/. that he had been diddled out of by the Han. Mr. Care, as the fellow designated himself to Mr. Purdie, but, for convenience, in ibis instance, adopted the name of Bishop. By the description given by Mr. Lang, be undoubtedly Is the frame. 31r. Lang -said, th it, while h. was at Bow•street, on Saturday, a man of genteel appearance drove up to his shop in a chaise, and asked the young man left in care to anew him some guns, sayings if his master had been in the way, he would know what sort of one he wanted, as lie bad bought one of him about twelve months ago. After looking at a variety, he made choice of a single percussion, by Probin, of Lisle -street, priced at W. which he agreed to give, desiring that some one alight be sent with him in the chaise, and he would pay for it, giving his address," J. Bishop, 37, Norton-faltgate.“ The lad called down one of the men, who went whit him, taking a bill and receipt. On their way the customer stopped at Clifford's Inn, telling the man to adnd the chaise, while bikshewed the gun to his father, in the Inn. Of course the customer 4.11 d nut return, and the man came home with the chaise, after waiting several hours. When he (Mr. Lang) came from Bow street, and heard of the customer, he semi a man to Norton-falgate to tell him not to wait, as he telt possessed of being duped: In the mean time his other man returned with the chaise and horse. The answer at Nortow-falgate was, that no suck I person was known there. He had since been to Mr. Purdy's, where, on comparing the handwriting and description, he ia sure the duper is the Ile wished m know how be should act with the Imtre and chaise. Sir Ggosur FAaalN7 told him lie would soon find an owner for the horse and chaise. There was no doubt it was hired, and the pwner would advertise it. Ile might have a warrant, so that, as *OOll 'sit*. prisoner was round; an offker could apprehend him toa niedjately—but at present. nothing could be done: . Lang tharikea the Biagisti ate, and went into the Clerk's office foi a warrant, UN lON. lIAI.L. A young man, named Enlist', w.is brought before the Magistrate, fur having bees found in the th.d.rooni of Mr. Agar's set want, .Hercules buildings, Lambeth. It appeared that the servantoebose name is Polly, bad retired to bed at an earlier hour tha,n usual, under the pretence that she was unwell; but soon after she bad bees- in ber bed-room, a strange noise was heard, and upon the apartments being searched, Alr—Erning was found under the 110, with nothing on but his shirt, Ile had been in the watchhoute two nights, and this the Magistrate considered was a sufficient punishment, and therefore ordered him to be discharged.—Mr. Agar said that pretty Polly should also be discharged. LAM BETEL STREET. Yesterday, a young man, of very respectable exterior, who styled himself an attorney's clerk, was placed at the bar before Sir D. Wit.t.sAsis and M. WYATT, Kul. charged with breaking into and robbing the dwelling•house of Mr. Chadwick, a grocer, in New. street, Stepney. _ _ _ The, prosecutor stated, that on the previous evening, during the absence of himself and family, his house was entered by means of false keys, and plundered of various articles of wearing apparel and other property. Mrs. Mary Ruck said, that she lived opposite to the prosecutor, 'and on Sunday evening, about four o'clock, she observed a man come out of the house, with a bundle in his hand. Knowing that Mr. Chadwick and his family had gone out for the evening, her sus picions became excited, and she watched the house for a few mo ments, when she saw the prisoner also come out of it with another bundle. This confirmed her in the belief that robbers had entered, and she accordingly mentioned then, to other persons in the house, who went in pursuit of the prisoner. Henry Mires deposed, that on the preceding evening, while going along White Horse lane, Stepney, he observed the prisoner, followed by several persons,. who were crying out " Stop thief!" He (witness) went towards him to stop him; hut before he could do so, he threw away a number of articles. On securing him, be land on his person several articles of wearing apparel, a phospho. rus box, a bunch of skelcinn keys, and various housebreaking im plement*. The articles of wearing apparel were here produced, and being identified by the prosecutor as his property, the prisoner was fully committed for trial on the capital charge. A contemporary relates a remarkable story about a bat killed by a sportsman in the neighbourhood of Laigle. This bird had a sort of bracelet hted round the lower part of its body covered with hair. Upon this bracelet, which is of pure gold, are engraved, in good preservation, these words—Maxim. imp. Galh. Ssbj. Gal. 27. Arc. Cir. Scowls. It is known that the Augurs made particular use of this kind of birds in their ceremonies. This bat must be of a tolerable age.—Cortstituriarusel. HYDROPHOBIA.—JA poor man residing in the Heigh. hood of Wapping, was requested some time in the month of April last to give a dose of medicine to a dog which had been indisposed two or three days, but had exhibited no symptoms of hydrophobia; in the effort of forcing open his mouth with a piece of wood, his hand slipped, and coming in contact with the dog's teeth, his thumb was very slightly grazed: he applied to a neighbouring chymist, who tuld him nothing was necessary to bt done. Tne dog was killed the same day, at the desire of the poor man's friends, and its master was perfectly satisfied. The poor man till Wed nesday last was in perfect health, on which day he tom plained.of pain in the bitten arm, which extended to the shoulder, but little notice was taken of it; during Thursday and Friday he continued in the same state as the previous day, but on Saturday morning symptoms of hydrophobia rapidly appeared. Sere. al me.ical men attende.l him, and did every thing necessary to mitigate his sufferings, which terminated at 12 o'clock at night, The poor fellow was perfectly sensible of his situation, and was constantly imploring his ssifc and medical attendants to keep out of his way, lest he should communicate the disease to [Ecru. tnINBURGIL Asicvst 11. • THE Twistsiv or Ausuar, , -This week a grottt , than usual number of sportsmen from the South have WW through Faiiithingh for th.• moors.
