This w.ts an action to recover the sum of 41. 9s. 3d. the price t t a cask of cider, furnished by the plaintiff to •the defendant. The case was substantially this :—The plaintiff was a cider merchant, in Devonshire, and the defendant was the landlord of the White Hart Inn, at Lewes. The rlaintiff had furnished the defendant with a cask of cider, in the year 1826, and in June, 1826, his son, who acted as his traveller, being in the course of his journey at Lewes, called upon the defendant for the price of the cider. Net finding the defendant at home, the plaintiff's s•ms left a note requesting that the money might be sent to him at Brighton, whither he was going, by a carrier named Moon, and he enclosed in the note a stamped receipt ter the money. The money not being sent, fur ther applications for it were made to the defendant, first, by Moon, and afterwards by a man named Thorne, on the part of the plaintiff; and both those persons were d as witnesses (or the plaintiff, and swore positively th4t they never received the money, although they had repeatedly applied for it. The delivery of the cider and the fairness of the price were not disputed; but the de fence set up was, that the money bad been paid to the witness Thorne, who, it was suggested, must have im properly appropriated it to his own use. In support of this case, Anne Lavender, the bar-maid at the White Hart, a Lady of most dashing appearance, was called, and swore that she was present when Thorne called upon the defendant for the money, and that she saw the defendant hand him over the amount, which Thorne immediately put into his pocket and went away. The case went to the Jury upon the question to whom they Would give credit, the bar-maid or the witness Thorne ; and they, after a short deliberation, found their verdict for the plaintiff, damages 4/. 9s. 3d. thereby sup porting the testimony of Thorne. CROWN RIDE. William Thomas was indicted for stealing, on ti e22d of May List, at Upper Beeding, a mare, the property of Mr. Boni.iface. It appeared in evidence, that the mare in question was safe in the prosecutor's stable at eight in the even ing, and was missing from thence at four next morning. The stable was in a field which opened to the road, was secured only by a bar across the doorway, which was found standing upright in the stable at the time when the mare was missing. At half-past three the same morning the prisoner, who was a tenant of the prose cutor, was seen riding the mare near the pro cutot's premises. The next day a reward was publicly advertised for the recovery of the mare, and in a day or to after she was found straying on a common a few miles off. Shortly after the publication of the advertisement of the reward, the prisoner called on the prosecutor, and told him, if he would give him the reward, he thought he could find the mare. Upon this he was taken into custody, from which he endea voured to escape e and upon searching him a bridle was found in his pocket. Several witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent character. • The Learned JUDGE left it to the Jury to say, Whether the prisoner had obtained possession of the mare with intent to steal it, directing them, if they had any doubt upon that subject, to take his good character into con sideration, and to acquit him. The Jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict, that the pi isoner had taken the mare for the purpose of obtaining the reward. The Learned JUDGE observed, that he could not re ceive such a verdict. The Jury must find the prisoner either guilty or not guilty. The Jury again consulted a short time, and then found the prisoner Guilty—Death. Judgment recorded. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. The public have been annoyed for a length of time by the dis putes betwe-n the Proprietors of the Paddington, kllaekwalt, and sober stage coaches. The contest shears itself sometimes in races along the streets, to the terror, and often to the more serious In. jury, of the passengers; at other times, in obstructions which nothing hut the infl. ction of heavy penalties can correct. In fact, the Ponce are constantly occupied in endeavouring to remedy the evil. The Lotto Means has, in consequence of the numerous cons tlaints spoil the subject, determined to put the Act in force upon every occasion, arid has uniformly fined those against who'll proofs of a violation of the law have been brought. Yesterday Mr. Harper, an extensive proprietor of stage coaches, and some other proprietors, appeared before the Lotus Moroi', to request, for the sake of the public and for their own sake, that his Lordship should order :hat the old system, established amongst the coach proprietors as to the turns which the coaches at Leadenhall market were to take, should he adopted. It had been, they said, agreed amongst the inhabitants of the immediate neighbourhood, that a certain number of coaches should be allowed to stand at the market. This arrangement had been productive of great advantage, bur lately a Mr. Paul had put every thing in confusicm, by thrust ing himself into the rank with his unwelcome coach, to the great prejudice of those who, for a series of years, accommodated the puutic at the spot alluded to. Mr. Battler, jun. who appeared against the monopoly, begged to know bow many coaches Mr. Harper, who scented to be so severe a sufferer by the violation ut this unauthorized arrangement, owned upon the stand? Mr. Harper answered that he had eight. Mr. Hobier submitted to the Lord Mayor, that the proportion between one, Mr. Paul's property, and eight, Mr. Harpers, ought to teconcle the latter to whatever advantage the former derived front taking what he called o Iris turn." The Loan Marcos said that he was resolved to discountenance, in the fluor' decided manner, so intolerable a system of monopoly. None of the proprietors were justified in obstructing the public, but Mr. Paul had as much right as any of the other coach owners to take his turn in the rank of coaches, and be might do so with eight and twenty coaches if he bad them, as well as with one. Mr. Harper said, that if men who were comparatively strangers were to come in upon their work, they could not hope to exist any longer. The Loan havoc thought it odd in a man who kept eight coaches to talk of s dliculty of existing; and observed that it was his (the Lord Mayor's) duty to we that the public were nut annoyed, Astor Hie Competition, he should by all means encourage that, as he knew that the public would be benefited by it, whatever might be the in convenience to individuals. The•coach-owu•rs retired miserably disappointed.

GUILDHALL. - - - - .Tabt Lamar, a journeyman carpenter, was brought before Mr. Alderman CIOMDtk yesterday, upon a warrant, wherein be was charged with having assaulted his 'rife. Jane Lomat, a middle-aged female, stated the case. She went to her husband's place of work on Saturday week, and received a part of his wages, he retaining the other part, to spend upon fe males of a certain class, as she suspected. She went home, changed her clothes and disguised herself, and, after watching for her spouse a short time, saw him enter into conversation with a prostitute, kiss her openly In the 'treats twice, and then retire with her into a narrow avenue. H. , however, contrived to get home before her, and to - fasten her out. The next day be beat her, and turned her out of doors. She entered into a history of sonic other affairs of the sante nature that had happened previously, therein displaying that she was possessed of a most annoying volubility. But her husband's infidelity and his beatings did not seem more to afflict her than his incaution in having once impudently underrated her personal at tractions and qualifications, by saying that when ale was gone he would bring home . 4 her betters." " But he says he has my mis tress" was ever and anon at her tongue's end. The husband said, the short fact was, he had a most jealous wife, and when he rat vied her home every sixpence of his wages, the saute notion of his associating with prostitutes was uppermost in her mind. He wished to part, and make her an allowance. " Ay," said Mrs. Lomar, " he says he has my mistress." " Well, never mind that," replied the Alderman. " Let him have his mistress, and you be your own master. I know of no better course under such unhappy circumstances. I have no power to Interfere in this way ; but what do you (addressing the prisoner) propose to allow your wife?" " Why, she has neither chick nor child, your Honour," mid the carpenter," but Iwlll give her los. a week out of my 281. " He is destroying me," cried the wife—" I have eaten nothing since Saturday, my_ jaws ache so." " If," said the Alderman, " you exercise your jaws every day as you have dace this morning, I am sure no ono here is surprised at their going a little stiff"—(Laughter). The parties would have come to terms, but a new charge was preferred against the defendant. He had, notwithstanding Lead better, the marshalman,.exhibited his staff and the warrant, made a very obstinate resistance to being taken out of his house, and the officer bi log determined to carry his complaint to the Sessions, the Alderman ordered the prisoner to find bail. BOW-STREET. Two dustmen, who were employed by Mr. Stapleton, the dust contractor, of White-friars, were yesterday put to the bar charged with having stolen a saucepan and fi,h.kettle, the property of Mr. Lloyd, a tradesman, in I ftdborn, du ring the time they were employed in cleansing the dust receptacle attached to Mr. Lloyd's house. Mr. Lloyd's servant stated, that thefish-kettle was perfectly safe when the prisoners commenced their operations on Monday morn ing, but that shortly before they bad finished both that and a covered saucepan were found missing. As a great number of kitchen uten sils had from time to time disappeared, and always about the period of the dustmen's visits, her suspicions in consequence rested upon the prisoners, who were taxed with the theft, and who unhesitatingly acknowledged that they - had taken a tin concern which they had found among the dust. They, however, utterly denied even having lumen the other article. Another witness, who resides in an opposite house, however, saw the prisoners shoot with a bushel of dust into their cart a saucepan, answering exactly the description of the one lost, and came forward and deposed to that fact. The prisoners did not deny but that they bad taken possession of the fish kettle. They, however, rested their possession upon a right —the Ending It in the dust-hole, into which all that enters they be. lieved to be their*. As to the mks matter, they were innocent as babes of all knowledge of that; but if the gemman would suffer them they would make it good to him. This proposidon was however rejected by the Magistrate, who committed them to take their trial for the offence. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday an athletic fellow, in the garb of a country hawker, was brought before Mr. Sergeant Sei.Loti the Sitting Magistrate , oharged by Henry St. John, Esq.of Mount Pleasant, Hornsey, with felony. Hannah Fowden, one of Mr. St. John's domestics, stated, that between twelve and one o'clock on Monday, while entering the front parlour, she saw the prisoner with his hand in the drawer of the sideboard. On her approach he leaped out at the window, which was open. She instantly gave the alarm, followed, and collared the prisoner in the road. Being a powerful man, he broke from her grasp, and lied in the direction of Islington, pursued by her and the other servants, who never lost sight of him till taken by a neigh bouring tradesman. Mr. Richard Nayres, a butcher In the vicinity, said that be stopped the prisoner in the act of crossing a ditch by the road-side. He begged to be let go, as it was only a lark. On searching the ditch, two sovereigns, two half sovereigns, about thirty pieces of ancient and modern curious coins, a silver nutmeg-grater, and a gold watch-case, were found. William Alder, parish constable, said that he searched the pri soner's person, and found seven shillings in silver, a quantity of Indian glue in payers, two bundles of black lead pencils, two dice, and a large knife. The prisoner stoutly denied having been in the house at all.—He was remanded for a week. QUEEN-SQUARE.. W. Roberts was charged with stealing a rosewood writing-desk from his lodgings on Pimlico Terrace. The prisoner confessed the fact; said it was his first offence; that he had been brought up to a genteel profession, but had been unfortunate; that his friends were in consequence alienated from him ; and that he was truly sorry for his misconduct, which severe distress had driven him to. Lie , was, however, fully committed. A boy, about thirteen years old, in an extreme state of destitu tion, was brought up by a watchman, having been found sleeping in one of the nooks of Westminster-bridge. It was stated that he i s Hickson of a man retired from business, but who formerly kept a pastry-cook's shop on the Surrey aide of Westminster-bridge, that this boy, and two girls, rather older, were the offspring of a female with whom he lived ; the father had discarded her acid the girls, and married another. One of the girls was some time since brought before Mr. hlatriott, with some other females, who sent her to the Magdalen. The boy had ►een in the Workhouse, but left it, and bad been employed casually, but latterly, as he said, subsisted upon what other boys gave him. The father did not appear, and the Magistrate committed the boy for 14 days to Tothill Fields Prison, at the expiration of which time, the Overseers of Lambeth Parish are to take charge of him. UNION-HALL Two men, Taylor and Cook, were charged with attempting to break into the house of Me. Pratt, in Coburg-place, Kennington. The prisoners were found concealed in an out-house, and on their persons were discovered apparatus for breaking into houses. They were conveyed to the Vauxhall cage, out of which they managed to escape, after the night constable had gone off duty, at free o'clock in tke morning. They were, however, subsequently apprehended and brought before the Magistrates, when one of them (Cook) re lated the manner in which he and his fellow prisoner made their escape out of the watchhouse. He stated, that when the constable went away, on looking through the bars, he (Cook) saw a crow bar lying outside on the ground immediately under the grating; be endeavoured to reach it, but could not, when he procured a long nail, with which he was enabled to bring the instrument sufficiently close to reach it. Having got possession of the crow-bar, he and his companion iminmediately set to work, and soon liberated them selves by bursting open the door. He added, that it would appear as if somebody placed the crow-bar where he picked it up, in order that they might see it, and make use of. Several robberies having recently been committed in the neigh bourhood of Kennington, the prisoners were remanded, on suspicion of having been concerned in them. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday Mamas Doyle, a lad of fifteen, was finally ezandned before Mr. Twyford, on a charge of stealing two cash-buses, con taining 34.1. 15s. in cash, and a number of very valuable documents, front his master's counting-house in 'Change-alley, Curnhill ; and a boy named Chartes Connor, about the same age, was placed wit► him at the bar. The two youths were apprehended under the following singular circumstances: The prisoner Doyle, who had been some months in the service of Mr. Edmonds, a general agent it Nu. 9, Changt.alley, as porter and -senge rand it the hour for commencing business on Friday morn log it was discovers dthat he had absconded with the two cash boxes is question. It appears that he proceeded wall his plunder to a spot near liall's•pood, Islington, where he broke open the two braes, and having abitracted the cash, concealed the hose's anJ papers under souse br...ks.

They stew dingly went to the Coburg Theatte, and als...ut one o'clock they Wen bAill4 ail the liatig.l4:isi road, asking 1 • OW some watchmen to direct them to a lodging fur the night. Thv watchmen, finding that Doyle had a considerable sum tit money In his posimsinn,very properly detained the boys, and conveyed them so the watchhoose, where they were-marched by the night constable, whe found 224 Ts. in Doyle's pockets. He said he had received 29L lOs. oo his twister's account on Friday, too late tosletiver it at the counting house that evening, and that he then went to the , Co. burg Theatre where he spent as. of the money. inquiry being marled Mr. 'Theatre, in 'Change-alley, the truth was ascertained, and Doyle afterwards directed the constable, James Orford, to the spot where he had deposited the boxes and papers. A respectable young man said the lad Connor was his brother, and lived with him, having been for some time out of a situation, and that he was au honest and well disposed youth. Doyle was fully committed to Newgate for trial, and the ether lad, who appeared to have bad no knowledge of the robbery, was liberated. Two Men, named Hileheoct and Port, were finally examined on a chyle of stealing a horse worth 20 guineas, from Mr. Keit, a coal merchant, at Stratford, in Rasex. Almost the only etidenee against them was the confession of an accomplice, named Hawkins. Hawkins was stopped early on the morning of July the 12th, mounted on 'the horse in question. by Tyrrell, Grossmith, and M' Williams, Bow-street officers ; and near the same spot, in Britt lame, Spitalfields, Hitchcock was taken, and some oats were found in his hat and pockets. After their first examination, Hawkins made the following confession— That he saw Hitchcock the day before, who told Mm that Paget wanted him to bring a horse to town. At night he and Hitchcock proceeded to Stratford, with a bridle procured from Paget, in Raw lins, Spitalfiekls. Hitchcock left him in the road for a short time,' and returned to him with the horse on which the officers found him. The search of the officers after Paget was unsuccessful until last Saturday fortnight, when Adams, a street-keeper, met him in Spi talfields, and stook ►im into Custody. He desired to be taken , to Mr. Garton, at Worship-street, who, be said, " knew it was aU, right ;" hut on his way to the office he escaped from the street keeper, and wai retaken by a watchman. Paget and Hitchcock were committed to Newgate, and Hawkins also was committed to safe comedy. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

FINAL Accineriv.—A Coat and Silver Badge, and other prize*, given by the Ladles and Gentlemen of Greenwich, was on Monday rowed for in Five Heats, by the following six young men, water men's Ipprentices , of the above place James Burgess, light bNe ; James Lovett, orange; Richard Sbersby, green ; John Giles, yet- low ; Matthew Grove, pink; and Henry Hallett, dark blue. The first Heat was won by Orange and Green ; the second by Yellow and Pink • the third, by Pink and Dark Blue ; and the fourth, by Yellow an d Green—who, at half-past seven, took their stations for the Coat and Badge. On the pistol being fired, off they went, Yellow taking the lead, which he maintained in most excellent style the whole distance, and won the Prize by several boats' lengths. The distance rowed was about four miles, and extended along the whole front of the town. The second man received £5, and the remaining four £5 10s. ,C 2 10s. Si ins. and ff. The match commenced at eleven o'clock, and did not conclude till half past eight. The wagermen were towed past the town in proces sion, and on their landing were most tumultuously cheered by an immense concourse of persons. Several steam-boats stopped during the Heats, and the bands on board enlivened the scene by playing " God save the King," and other popular airs. A most melon- I choly accident, however, threw a damp on the sports ditring the Grand Heat. A man of the name of •Joseph Smith, fishmonger and crier of Greenwich blarket, was in a boat alongside a barge filled with company, and on seeing Giles take the lead, offered to bet a sovereign on him. The bet being taken, Smith immediately got up in the boat, and while taking a sovereign from his pocket, he unfortunately fell overboard, and after several struggles, sunk to rise no more. Drags were procured, and the 'body was in about twenty minutes after picked up, and conveyed to the Seatneu's Hospital ship, where one hoar and a half were expended In en- deavouring to restore animation, without effect. Seven children are left to deplore his loss, and his widow is hourly expected to be confined with the eighth. STAG HUNT ON THE LAKE OF KILLARNEY, • coax, ♦coast 3. Exraacr or a IdaTTll.—lie weather has been excessively wet heie since last I wrote you. Friday was so very much so, that the bunt was postponed until yesterday, which was also very unfavour able. However (as Mr. Wilmot-Horton must leaventhis on Mon day far London), Lord Kenmore and his distinguished visitors, at tended by several other parties, set off from Ross about twelve o'clock. The passage. through the Old Weir Bridge was highly interesting, as the 'almost efforts . of the several boats' crews were necessarily exerted to haul the boats up against the current.— These obstacles being speedily overcome, and all the boats being properly arranged, Mr. O'Connell gave the signal, by firing a gun from his fine barge The Erin. In a abort time the cry of the hounds was heard reverberated by a thousand echoes, and soon a noble stag made his appearance, bounding along the sides of the lofty mountains, at the long range, followed by the dogs in full cry. The scene for two or three hours after this exceeds all description ; at times a view would be got of the pack dashing into or from a deep cover; now ascending the steep declivity of the mountain, then for a moment a view of the stag; again be would be hid among the glens and lofty•irea, the pack also hidden from our sight, but their sweet music was also heard echoed and re-echoed, whit the stag, anxious to refresh himself, took to the soil, crossed the Upper Lake near Coleman's Eye, and crossed to Cromeglaun. Being headed here, be re-escaped to the long range, and having come on a bind in lair, he practised a stratagem very usual with these animals, drove the hind out before the hounds, and escaped ; the hind was shortly hunted down to the soil, and being taken, was brought to Lady Kenmore's barge, who ordered her to he , again set at liberty, and being enlarged, swam to the shore . and ascended her native mountains, amidst the cheers of the spectators,' who were all highly delighted. I was most happy to perceive the hunt seemed to afford the greatest gratification to Mr. \V. Horton, and the distinguished party in the boat with Lady and Lord Ken more, amoogst whom I recognised our talented and highly es. teemed Representative the Knight of Kerry, and his son. As Mrs. W.

The day was pleasantly cool, the sun was modest, and did not with his splendour dazzle the peep-boles of the milling coves —there was no rain—no dust—the ground in good state--and in all the weather was peculiarly propitious. Mike is younget brother of Ned Murphy, a pugilist of saw promise. They are of the 40111 ODD of the Sister Kingdom, and the way of their profession in DO wise tarnish at all the krone of the Emerald. Mike has fraught three or four times; about six weeks back be defeated one Burke, a little way h oe London. In Consequence of which battle, Pratt being a friend of Rinke, challenged Murphy to take the bounce out of kiai. prang fought in the ring once (perhaps about eighteen months ago) with Fred. Edwards, but he came off only second best at that rim:. The prevent match was hurriedly got up at a Tinny Crib at Lid ( Turnstile. There was little fuss made shout weight or training'; 1 every thing was gone about on a very economical system. Murphy stated his weight at tist. 101 b. Pratt was not quite so tall as the other, but be was considerably heavier (perhaps three parts of a stone), and both looked well on stripping. The arrangements were deficient of 'the office of a Consmii tory, and consequently there were no stakes, and in c arse of beating in amphitheatre out of the human materials on the groun d s two pugnacious urchins, each about the height of a walking stick, tame to sty cuffs, and were promptly attended ty t wo friends, cub about their own age, who played the nurses, and chafed like the big ones ; all was quite regular—a mill is minia ture, and the two scions shook hands, and gave it up when they lied had enough, like as when do, and no mistake. We may here state, that there was no mischief done on either side. This finished, th e two principal heroes came on the pound. Murphy, attended by Ned Stockman and Mike Curtain 1 two strangers, Dennis M'Carthy and 11111 Dobson went in with Pratt. About four o'clock they b a d finished all preliminaries, and came to the scratch. THE FIGHT. Round 1. On setting-to Pratt seemed bent on business, and CA a mind to take the lead; he bk out twice with the left at the body, was gaining on Murphy, and likely to follow op a bustling style; but Murphy, who had not been so seccesaful in his counter's, of a sudden checked - the impetuosity of his mtegonkt with a sharp left. hand facer ; on which Pratt dropped the bustle somewhat,but still hit first at the body—in this way be delivered two lekhandm, then left and right.
