It., was at length found out who he was, and hq wisp auffsed tp proceed; but from ih at time he had offese(l,toa-make, o 9 compensation for the injury and stiff/6ml he had caused, and the plaintiff was theiefoxe compelled to present his case before a Jury; and be did not doubt,,, drat when ,they had heard the evidence.of his witneasts.they would compel the defendant to make that remuneration which he had as yet so unfeelingly withhfld-r John,Legerwond—l am a mat-maker, and was on the Uxbridge road on the 4th of August last, about fopr or fife in the afternoon, and saw little Dowsett there. t•don't suppose he is 10 years (aid. It was about three miles and at half from Tyburn Turnpike. He was under a wall catching apples. I saw a gig coming along towards London. It was about ten yards off. The road,is wide enough for five or six carriages, and there was of course plenty of room for any man to have, avoided she child, who was in the road about four feet fipm the.path. I saw the horse knock him down, and the wheel came about up to his loins when the Gentle. map backed, and the horse trampled very much on the child,; the defendant attempted to drive on, but a per son took hold of the horse's head, at which he struck at him with his whip. At this time the child was taken carried into a house. He appeared very much hurt.. Aline was another Gentleman in the gig. • ,Cross-expenined—l should think the road was 42 feet wide. ; ,I floret know that ever I saw a wider road. I was,walking along, and bad not seen the child alikove two, saingtes before L saw the gig. Some of the children userenp the path, and some in the road. Ailtise drea vtatcon the path but this one Whets. the gig came up. , t jaw them run up on the path; be stood still, looking-at ahe,wall;l4 - did not hear the other childrea cal) opt ;. I-was about lb or 90 yards.off, on the oppo site, sine of the road. The gig was coming along at a rate of about seven miles an hour. I mean to say po. aitively, that. when the gig was coming up, and the other childreo ran upon the path, -that this child stood still., • be defendant did not pull up immediately on seeing .ihe child. Ido not think he basked the hose to do hirais double injury. He did not begin to pull up bfkoitt ha Itnocked the child down. There was a cart on the opposite side of the read, and had passed the boy in a different direction from the gig, leaving him on ceire efrielibdto 15 feet. 1 know Dowsett now, but never, did before this transaction. The man who stopped the horse was the drifts of the cap, • . Thiamine lanis—Was the person alluded to by the last witness. He wardriving his master's cart on- the day -in question, and witnessed the transaction, which he descnbed as the preceding witness bad done, add ing, .that when .he attempted to stop the hone, the defendant struck at him. The father of the child ca up, and the defendant then gave his name, and said het lived'at Paddington ; be appeared to be- rathbr of liquor; and very resolute. I don't mean to say that ht. was dniak In cress-examination, he said that his reason- foe soppcteink him to be in liquor was; his not stopping when he had done the mischief, and his. striking him when he attempted to stop him. The defendan said, When he got out of the gig, that he was very well known on that road, and there was no occasion to stop him. Robeit Draggett confirmed the testimony of the other. witnesses. Mr: John Bowling—l am a surgeon, and on the 4th of August last was called in to attend the infant plain.' tiff. who was lying on a bed in his father's house at Sbepherd'sobash. with two wounds on the scalp, and a alight wound oa one hand; be was in a dangerous state for soma days. His father is a brief:maker, but Ido not know wheats- the bay assisted him. CrosPelamined—l. should think be was about ei.-.llt years•old. My bill•was about 50s. He was in danger for setae time. having received a concussion of the brain. I attended him constantly for three weeks. This-was the plaintiff's case. : * •• • Mr. Sergeant Anaus addressed the joty 14 the de. fendint. • He remarked that there was no situation so difficult or distressing to a Counsel as that of appearing to defend a man who was charged with an act of in humanity: it appealed to him, however, that there was no grosnd for the present action. The catastrophe 'upon which the present uctioo was groundedlrits purely the result of accident,. and arose more from the incau tioutiesi natural to children than from any neglect on the part of - the kfendant. Independently of this, lie contended that a verdict must j7oras fur his client on the ground of the utter incredibility of the plaintiff's wit neseel. • The story was inconsisteot from beginning to end, sod such as he weirs positiie the Jury would not Nee upon. Having made these obseriations, he left the gni IN their hands, confidently anticipating a verdict 'i his ievoar. If, however,. the Jary Arvid think the plaistiffesuided to recover, he was convinced it would be only for a very small amount..

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Dim A young man, named four was placed at the bar, charged with an assault upon Philip Gowring. It ap. peared from the evidence, that while the defendant was conveying an elephant down St. John-street. Snisthfield. to Mr. Wombwell's caravan at Bartholomew Fair, the prosecutor and a party of persons came up. and began to irritate the animal. The defendant reinonstrated upon the impropriety of their conduct. The pi osecutor, l who was much in liquor, came forward, and, atter making use of many violent expressions towards the defendant, swure he would see what the elephant was made of, and at the Wile moment put himself in a: fighting attitmie. The defendant then, according to the deposition of the prosecutor, struck him a violent blow with a weapon on the bead. which felled him to the ground, and indicted a wound on the back part of his head, under which be . suffered for nearly three weeks. It was, however, positively sworn to by several witnesses on the past of the defence, that the defendant had no weapon in his hand, and that he merely shoved the prosecutor away, who, owing to the state he was in, fell, and his head coming in - contact with the curb stone, it was cut in the ss ay described. -The Jury re. turned a verdict of Not Guilty. • • SURREY SESSIONS, Die. 4. A respectable looking young woman, named Elise bet4 Lyon, was indicted for feloniously stealing A gold ring, the property of Messrs. Jupp and BArber, jewel ler. of Blackman Street, Borough, on the 22J of Oc tob;r last. John Japp deposed, that on the morning mentioned, the prisoner, in company with another female, called at shop and selected a pair of ear-rings; and Your Other rings, for which she paid 41.1.. and left the shop. Curtis, a Bow Street patrol, deposed, that having received information of a robbery having been commit. ted, he apprehended the prisoner, on suspicion of being 'concerned in it ; and on questioning her as to the pos session of so many rings, she alleged that she had pur ;based them at the prosecutor's shop. Witness took 'them to Mr. Japp, who confirmed her statement rela tive to the purcba,e of four of the rings, but disclaim 'od having sold her the fifth sing, which he asserted was stolen from his shop. The prisoner, irs her defence, declared her :innocence of the charge, adding ,that the ring in questioo had been gifts to 4e r bra young man. appaared,thas the patrol had taken possession of all bes,4iltle proputy when he took her into custody. , • Cia.unasalp.-- z -curtis, you h.rd no right to carry away Itai.Olker plopect i y.

The character of the Ro f lish sailor is daily undergoing great change. The first thing he thinks of, upon spending his last shilling, is to beg of the next pas senger he nseets,and gangs of hungry-looking fellows, in jackets and trowsers, are to be seen about the city.

He therefore desired person* of dila description to ap ply to their parishes for, assistance, and if the overseers refused to do their duty, to summon them before the Magistrates. As for the Irish, Mr. Bosuns observed that it was useless to at tempt to pass many of them home, as it was the invariable rule al Ecru of the Paddies to ger drunk' at Bristol, and return to Loo-' dim, where they calculated they would make out a better livelihood than at home.—The LORD NI • vox acted upon all those suggestions. A gas-fitter, named Efelens, was charged with having stolen eighty-eight yards of cotton, the property of Messrs. Morrison and Co. of Fore-street. It appeared that -while the prisoner was at work on the premi.es, some brass ornaments were missed, and he was suspected of having stolen them. He was watabed on his next visit, and the cotton was found in the bottom of the basket. The Lord Mayor was informed that the prisoner was paid 50a. a week.—The prisoner was committed for trial.
