LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, MAY 10. OARRAT AND OTHERS, THE EXECUTORS OF RAINIER V. THE ROCK LITE INSURANCE C ‘AIPANY. This was an action brought to recover the sum of three thousand pounds on a policy of Insurance effected on the life of Mr. Rainier. . . Mr. JERVIS the Counsel for the plaint ff, stated that there was a clauce in the policy which states, that if the insured meets with his death,by suicide or duelling, his executors shall not receive the amount of the policy. This proviso is introduced in order to protect companies from the frauds which persons in desperate circum stances might be induced to cimmit, for the sake of their families, by self-destruction. In the year 1809 Mr. Rainier had marl ied a young Lady, and in the year 1810, in order to provide for a family which he ex pected would be large, he effects d an insurance upon the Company for 5,0001. Finding, however, from a change in his circumstances, that he was unable to make the regular payments upon so large an amount, he, with the consent of the Company, reduced the policy to 5,0001. and upon it he had paid 1,5951. to the office. It was stated, in favour of the defendant, that Mr. RAI. nier had been afflicted with one of the most awful of human maladies—insanity. He had been at one time a partner in a firm, which in 1810 stopped payment, and involved him in considerable difficulties. He lost his mother, who was a most tender and affectionate parent, and atter that time (1817), he began to show symptom, of mental derangement. Five years after the death of his mother he had the misfortune to lose his wite,and was again deprived of reason, but never showed any disposition to injure either himself or others. He re sided at Highbury, and on the 15th of March, between five and six o'clock, he quitted Iris house unknown to his family, and called at some places where he doubtless exhibited strong symptoms of agitation and excitement. At Mr. Williams's house at Homerton, which was the first place he visited, he asked for a glass of water. The Lady prevailed upon him to take wine, after which he asked her for a bed; this accommodation he could not get, upon which he went to a public-house, where he was also disappointed in his application for a bed. In going from one place to another he had to pass the New River, and if he contemplated suicide, it was na total to suppose he would have drowned himself there. He then passed on to the house of Mr. Cavanagh, where he took refreshment, and after another call in the same neighbourhood, he ran into the City, and asked a friend for some money, but disappeared suddenlywith out taking it with him. He was afterwards seen by the patrol running rapidly along the road to Finchley, and he came so roughly in contact with a bricklayer, that both tumbled down on their backs. Upon being ques tioned as to the cause of his violent journey, he said he had been robbed and murdered I Upon searching his pockets, however, he said that he had lost nothing, that he had unfortunately dined out, and got in liquor. He was anxious to get upon the patrols' boxes, but could not prevail upon the person who accompanied him to allow him. He then took the road to Finchley, and upon reaching a pond on the premises of a farmer was d; owned. It was probable from the state in which his eloes and stockings were found, that he had walked into the pond with his clothes on; that he then re turned, undressed himself, laid his clothes in a conve nient place, and in such a manner as p oved that he in tended to dress himself after he hed cooled the fever under which he had evidently laboured. The defend ants 'alleged that he had committed suicide, and re fused, on that ground to pay the demand. If he had intended to drown himself he would have thrown him-' self in, clothes and all; but it was to be inferred from all the circumstances, that he did not go into the water for the purpose of destroying life. but merely to allay the excessive fever with which he was afflicted, and that he had died from apoplexy or accident. He had acted in a manner that was not reconcileable with the idea of destroying himself in passing-by that part of the pond where he would have been immediately drowned if he had thrown himself in, and selecting that part which was not so .seen. The weather was most inclement. There was a b'a:k frost upon the ground, and it was natural to suppose that apoplexy teas produced by im mersion, as the deceased had a great tendency to that disorder ? Supposing he was insane, what was there in the circumstances to show that he had committed self murder? The Jury would doubtless be of opinion, that in going to the pond to allay the fever with which he was tortured, he died an accidental death. After two witnesses had corroborated the statement of the Learned Counsel as to the conduct of the deceased. _ _ _ Mi..l3iewster, the farmer in whose pond the body was found, stated, that upon going out early on the morning of the 16. h of March, he saw the body in the shallow part cf the pond. The deceased must pass the deep part to arrive at that which was shallow. It a person who had the power of rising had fallen in the part where the body lay, he could easily have got out, as the bottom was firm. Dlr. Stracey, a surgeon, who had examined the body, was de• cidedly of opinion that the deceased died of apoplexy. . . . . . , . . Mr..learts asked, whether immersion of the extremities in cold water might not ere.iteapolik-sy with a person in a state of fever? Wimess—" . No doubt of it." Mr. Banuonsat asked the witnev, whether a man who was hanged might nut die of apoplexy u well as a person who was Witness said, that when a person died from sufincatioss, there wu generally a rupture of the blood-vevels of the bead. Witnesses vi ere called to pore that the occasional insan ty of the deceased was not of such a nature as to lead him to commit suicide. He was perfectly harmless both to himself and others; and his general character was such that he would be the last man suspected of such a tendency. Dr. Armstrong gave evidence to this effect ; and another medical man was of opinion, that the deceased might have died by an apoplectic fit, produced by immersion in cold water whilst in a state of fever. The Cmsr BARON said, it was one of those cases in which there was no knowing how to decide. It re minded him of a case of property in which it was to go one way, if the daughter survived her mother, and another way, if the mother survived her. It happened that they both perished in one ship, which was sunk; and a Jury bad to deter mine which died first. The Jury decided on the presumption that the greater strength of.the mother would be able to struggle the longest against death. The Jury retired for about a quarter of an hour, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff for £3,480, and stated that they-considered that the deceased did ndt enter the water with the Intention of drowning himself. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAT 10. LNACH f. BARRATT AND SMITH. This was an action by a tenant against a landlord and his broker, for an illegal and excessive distress, in the parish of St. Martin in the Fields. It appeared that rent being in an ear to the amount of 81. 5% the whole !property io the room rented, amounting to between' 901. and 401. was taken, and the plaintiff's wife, chil dren and niece were obliged to leave the premises, in consequence of the misconduct or an ill-looking fellow, ho was left in pos ession. It appeared that this person, s ho was of a most forbidding appearance, had ava led himself of the absence of Mrs. Leach, who had gone out for the purpose of trying to raise the rent, and made an indecent assault on the plaintiff's niece, an in tete,ting girl about fifteen years of age, by thrusting his hai n r, intii her boson:, and atte :ript_ng to take other liberties. Mr. emotes SERGEANT submitted to the Jury that the defen dants were not to be responsible for the misconduct of this man. Mr. ScasturrT made a most eloquent reply upon the oppression with which the case was characterised; and the Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages .C.:O THE REV --•-.-- NANNY V. KENDRICK. Mr. Sergeant WILDE stated that this was an action upon a bond of 5001. The terms were, that the de fersdant should, in the event of the death of his father, pay to the plaintiff that sum. The father was dead, and the payment of the bond was resisted on the grounds of fraud; he would prove the signature of the bond, and that would be his case, unlcss any thing should occur in the defence that might resider it necessary for him to make any further observations. The signature to the bond was proved by the footman of the plaintiff: it was executed at Clre,.ter. The bond was read : the conditions were, that the Rev. Plaintiff was to advance 2001. to the defendant, for which he was to receive 500/. on the death of the father of the defendant. The bond was given in 1821, just after the defendant had come of age.- Mr. Sergeant Pus addressed the Jury on behalf of defendant. The LORD CHIMP Juaritca was extremely sorry to find that a Clegyman, who was very well known, had mixed himself in such a transaction. The young man was but just come of age, and he regretted that the plaintiff should have advanced any money upon what the defendant might be entitled to after the death of his father ; but they were not there as correctors of morals, but to dispense the law. He was bound to say that the bond was a legal instrument. A Court of Equity might probably afford a remedy. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages Is. costs, 409. This gives the plaintiff the right to sue out execution for the whole sum. DISTURBANCES AT TROWBRIDGE. FROM THE BATH AND CHELTENHAM GAZETTE. We deeply regret to state, that on Saturday last the neighbouring town of Trowbridge was the scene of much confusion and outrage, the origin of which appears to have been as follows: Some hucksters had been suspected of either fore stalling or monopolizing potatoes, the price of which commodity advanced considerably in the market on that day beyond that of the previous week, and these circumstances were considered by the lawless as ample reasons for making a general attack upon the gardeners indiscriminately. This they accordingly did ; and the work of plunder and destruction was so effectually performed, that by eleven o'clock not a single vegetable of any description was to. be seen in the market, and at that hour every shop was closed. The country butchers, fearing a similar attack on•them, moved off their meat, and by twelve only the town butchers' standings were' left. At that time the market place was filled with a rabble of the lowest description, w ho having nothing to do, and nothing to lose, were ready for any mischi f. The Magistrates (who are for the most part manufac turers) assembled at the Woolpacks Inn at three o'clock, and drew up an address to their misguided work - people. About nine o'clock, however, a dreadful outrage commenced ; t!'e mob attempting to break into the shop of Thontas Marsh, a baker, in the Market-place. Foiled in this art mpt, they then drew off to the Courts in a large body, and began pelting the const risks, who rushed in a body upon one or two individuals that haJ rendered themselves obnoxious, one of them they 6.lc ceeded in apprehending, arid committed him to the guard-house: although, in going thither, they were nearly overpowered by the mob, many of whom had large sticks and :tons,. This outrage was succeeded by frequent skirmishes with the mob, who were evi dently beat on every species of mischief; and one of their first attempts was to liberate the prisoner. Mr. Waldron, the Magistrate, as isted by s rine of the most respectable inhabitants, stationed himself at the door of the prison, and told the lawless crowd that he was de er ruin: d to remain at his post ; but an increase of force from the besiegers rendered a retreat necessary, in a bleb several of the const.b:es received broken heads and severe contusions. The rabble then proceeded to unroof the prison, and to liberate the prisoner; and in this they Islay succeeded. Further attempts to restore tranquillity appearing to be in vain, the greater part of the constables thought it proper to endeavour to protect their own personal pro perty ; a measure which the sequ:l proves was hiAhly necessary ; for about half-past P 2 the mob began parad ing in High -street, breaking the windows of the inhabi tants, although very many of them could not be con sidered as having rendered themselves obnoxious. An express had been sent to .Uevir s for the Yeomanry Cavalry, who arrived about one o'clock on Sunday ; and between five and s . o'clock the constables,guarded by the military, proceeded to apprehend some indivi duals who had been marked oat as particularly active in the riot on the previous evening; two of whom were immediately sent off in a chaise to Salisbury, for trial at the easuiug Assizes ; and two more are in custody. MELKSHAM, MAY a. I have heard news from Trowbridge, up to eight o'clock this evening; and although no outrage had been committed (to-day) up to that hour, the assem blage of people was still very alarming, the presence of the military alone pre►enti ng theirs from proceeding to extremities. The Melksham troop of Wilts Yeomanry was joined here yesterday by the Chippenham troop, and they both left this about three o'clock in the after noon, for the scene of disturbance. The Devizes and Warminster troops had previously arrived there. Last night, about seven o'clock, the troops were called from their quartets to quell the rioters when s,z or seven were apprehended, and sent to Salisbury under an escort; ami,ngst them was one man from Milksham, who had left this after the departure of the two troops I It is consolatory, however, to know that in this quarter, as well as in the North, no political question agitates the disturbers of the public peace ; and it is also worthy of notice, that one of the ringleaders in the Trowbridge disturbance has been up to this very period m the weekly receipt of 255. for his labour. TROWBRIDGE, TIMMY Moßma. The Magistrates were here in attendance all yesterday, examin ing •arious persona wbo were brought before them as alders and abettors in the riot ea Saturday; and three more (five in sU) are committed ; and three others :are in custody. Tranquillity is Clow restored. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING. NEMMARJEITT, TUESDAY NIGHT. The races to-day have afforded excellent diversion, each of they. being well contested. In the course of the evening some very brisk general betting has taken place on the Derby and Oaks, and, by the subjoined state ment, it will be seen that Panic is decidedly first favourite by half a point, while the General, who at first was 7 to 1, is third at 6 to 1. With the exception of Rush's colt the others are nearly as before • Twatty, after his race, was brought up, but at long odds. A good deal was done on the Oaks; Mignionette rose at first a point or two, but this was transitory in the course of the evening she re lapsed into her previous statism in the odds. Teats is retrograding. The odds, up to 11 o'clock this evening, were a, follow Daum. 9 to 2 agit Panic (taken) 5 t• 1 agst The illoslem 6 to 1 apt The General 10 to 1 agst Dervise 12 to 1 apt Carthago 15 to 1 apt Monarch (taken) 1$ to 1 agst Shakspeare •20 to 1 agst Advance 23 to 1 agst Truth 40 to 1 agit Centaur (taken) 40 to 1 ag.t Br. to Twatty(taken) 6to 4 agst Problem (taken) Il4to 1 agst 130-Peep to 1 apt hlignionette (taken)! 15 to 1 agst Elizabeth to 1 agst Parapluie (taken) 20 to I agst Morel 14 to 1 agst Tears (taken) 25 to 1 agst Gandhi 14 to 1 agst Rachel 25 to 1 agst Louisa Sr. !Acta—The betting on this Stakes is dull, and will be so till after the York Spring Meeting next week.

Yesterday, Captain Phillips, of the ship London, whith itadra to Batavia, was brought before the Lotto MAYOR upon a *arrant, charging him with having committed various assaults Upon a Mu latto named William Tyson. . The complainant stated that he went out With the defendant at steward of the ship. When they arriied at Batavia, the cook and four hands were put on shore. The Captain - ordered the wittiest to cook, but he objected, as it was not in his articles of agreemeut that he should perform work of that nature. The Captain, upon this, swore he would get down his throat, and gallop hie inside oat. He then beat the complainant three or four times. The ant then related a series of ill usage, which, if it had been subsists dated, would have proved the Captain to have been at Mina man as any in the navy. The Loan MAYOR told the complainant that he might, if he thought proper, indict the Captain at the Admiralty Sessions. GUILDHALL. John Thomas larkisp, a man who had been employed to guard tivt building materials in Fleet Market, was Sassily examined, thargei with purloining some of the old lead he was employed to watch. Ills wife was observed in company with a man named Wits; whei was carrying the lead, and liedser, the sheepshead and porkman,oi Stonecutter street. suspeceing the proFerty bad been stolen from hi! premises, questioned the man, and from his account there rentlisied little doubt that the City Watchman was the thief; Wits was akt. mitted a witness against the prisoner. The case, however, having stood over since the 28th ult. yesterday it was slisahvered that Wit: had absconded ; but Mr. Alderman Licas thought the remaihing evidence enough to warrant the prisoner's commicinent. BOW-STREET. Lieutenant Murton, aged 27, was charged by Mr. Dawson, of Sloane -street, aged 60, with an assault. Mr. D. stated, that on Tuesday evening he was entering the Pleb( Covent Garden Theatre, with the female then by his side, when she complained to him that a man was behaving with great rudeness to her, and immediately the same man gave her a violent push, by whicb part of the admis sion money was forced from her bands. She stooped to pick it op, when the defendant put his arm across her neck, and pushed her aside, at the same time calling her a woman of the town. This irritated complainant, who, forgetting the disparity of age, seized him by the collar, and a struggle ensued, in which defendant gave him a blow in the mouth, and he in consequence gave him in charge of a constable. The female confirmed this testimony, with the CI , ception that she did not hear the words which followed the ex pression, " This woman." Mr. D. however, was positive they were •' of the town." The Lieutenant said he was conducting three fe male relatives to the Pit, when their ears were assailed by language the most obscene and disgusting from this woman (this both Mr. D. and the female positively denied, the latter declaring that she never in her life used an expression that a delicate female need be ashamed of.) The Lieutenant, however, persisted in the truth of his observation, and added, that in consequence, one of his relations begged him to prevent her from coming in contact with '• that woman," when he certainly put his arm across, and got his party past her. Mr. D. then rushed upon him and he retreated, in order to prevent coming in contact with a man of his advanced age, but it was of no use, and at length he was compelled to act offensively as well as defensively. Sir It. Sims said, there appeared to have been a great deal of irritation, as well as assault, on both sides, he should therefore hold neither of them to bail, but leave them to their remedy at the Ses sions.—Case dismissed. M A R Y-LA-BON NE. Yesterday, Andrew Donlan, a master chimney sweeper, appeared before the Magistrates, charged with having a child under - eight years of age, named Wiliam John White, in his employ as an ap prentice, contrary to the statute. The grandmother of the child informed the Magistrate that the child's father was dead, that her daughter (the mother of the child) had married another'man named Bates, that she now was gone to ladia, and had left the child be hind, that she did not believe Donlan had any authority for nit raining the child, and she requested the Magistrate to place the child under her care and ptotection. Donlan in support of his claim produced an agreement dated Jan. 11, 1826, by which, in consideration of £5 paid by the said Donlan, the master sweep, to Elizabeth Bates, the child's mother, she bound her son to the said master for eight years. Mr. ILavit.ursom read the paper with surprise and indignation, remarking, that it was one of the most audacious things he bad ever met with, and that it was nothing in the world but buying and selling the child for £5. Mr. Gairrierus hilly coincided in the same opinion, observing, that it was impossible to put any Other construction upon the trans-. action ; for the money was given on the wrong side. Mr. Etawurisou handed the little fellow over to his grandmother upon her undertaking to produce him at the office once in every three months, that he might witness his well being, and assured Donlan that he should proceed against him for the misdemeanour. Wilbous Craig. the driver of one of . Morris's Paddington stages, was summoned upon a charge of having, on the 24th of April, wilfully and maliciously driven against a cart containing two boys, by which the two wheels of the cart were thrown off, the aile•tree broken, the cart overturned, and the two boys injured. It appeared by the evidence, that the circumstance occurred near the top of Tottenham-court-road ; that the cart was going a font pace towards Paddington, that a Gentleman's carriage was standing on the right hand side of the road ; that the cart was at the moment passing the carriage; that a coal vraggeo, also proceeding towards Paddington, was on the left band side of the cart ; that the Paddington stage had been waiting at the end of Tottenham-court-road; that the moment after the cart bad passed the stage, Craig whipped his horses with great violence, and drove, although there was not room to pass, between the coal waggon and the cart, by which means his hind wheel and his step (which was torn off by the concussion) came in contact with the cart, and produced the mischief before recited. Mr. GRIFFITHS said, it was well the boys were not killed. St committed the coachman, and told the owner of the cart he should insist oil his prosecuting him, not for his own sake, but for the sake of the public. WORSHIP.STREET. Savage,./. Batik id, and C.
