THE L'S PROOKESS.-A NEW POEM. There have been so many devil's walks and devil's progresses, that .he devil himself might almost grow tired of them. A fcw touches of the new poem are added : " He took a drive to the India-House, Where he heard much pleasant news, The shooting of ninety-five Seapoys, And the burning of six Hindoos . ' " He saw a pauper sent to the wheel For starv!ng and mendicity ; And he thought of England's equal laws, And a hungry Briton's felicity ! " He saw a Bow-street officer Bear witness against a thief ; And a magistrate pocket a parish bribe, For refusing a pauper relief ; And the Devil likened the one and the other To the sons of Israel, selling their brother !" " The devil went to the Opera-house, At eight, on Saturday night, And many things there he both saw and heard, That tickled his ear and sight ! The manager's clock struck the hour of twelve, Just as the ballet was done, so the devil's watch must have been too fast, Fur it pointed nearly one ! TNT. DAY, MARTIN, A I,have a garden wall, friend Hunt, With which thou makest free To daub all o'er with chalk-scrawl'd puff's Of blacking sold by thee. But, Master Hunt, I do protest Against thy puffish scrawl ; Such quackery I dislike to see Upon my garden wall. Thou say'st thy blacking is the best And cheapest in the town— Though Day and Marlin, against that, Would bet thee many a crown. But, even granting, thine's the best, want it not at all ; Thy wares, friend Hunt, are nought to me ; Then, whetefore chalk my wall ? They tell me thou'rt an orator— A man of many a word ; And that thou never hickest lungs To make thy ivords be heard ; They say thou rul'st the rabble rout Of Rads in Common Hall : And perhaps thou dost ;-- but still I ask— Why chalkest thou my wall ?, They tell me thou'rt a patriot— So staunch and eke so true, That thou would'st not accept of place Should it be offered you! . - It may be so for aught I know— I cannot tell at all; But I am sure thou halt no right To chalk my garden wall ! They say thou hatcat heartily Both Cobbett and Burdett; And that thou rairst against the Church, And gin and heavy wet: They say, too, thou would gladly black Boots both for great and small : But all this does not warrant thee, Friend Hunt, to chalk my wall! Thou say'st the poor-folk of this land Are stupid dolts and sots— Unfitted for " pure liberty" By love of priests and pots. But let me ask thee, Mister Hunt— Whom pot nor priest enthrals; Is it pure liberty to chalk With pail thy neighbour's walls? Herald. The crops are generally reported to be fine in quality, and above the average ; and may be considered superior to anything of late years. This seems to be the general report of most counties ; it is decidedly so for Lincolnshire.—Lincoln Herald. A great deal of corn is cut in the Fens, and on nearly all the other lands in the neighbourhood ; the harvest is fast drawing to a close. The crops every where are remarkably good.—Huntingdon Mercury. The harvest is not yet general in Scotlard, but there ate many fields cut, and if the weather is favourable the harvest will be general towards the end of the week.—Storkport Advertihcr. We have been favoured with another gloriou. harvest this week, in which more wheat has been stacked, and in better condition, than has been known for several seasons. A few more days' propitious weather, and the greater proportion of the corn will be safe in the barns and stacks of the Industrious farmer.—Brighton Herald. VICTIMIZING.—This is anew term for swindling. A professor of the art, named James Jones, was examined before the Lord Mayor on Thursday. His plan wad to give a liberal order for goods to tradesmen, and then borrrow a small sum, having forgot his purse on leaving home. In this way he was said to have duped upwards of two thousand persons One case is highly ludicrous : The prisoner rung at an accoucheur's night-bell, and requested that the medical gentleman would instantly put on his clothes, and go to visit his wife, who was in the pangs of labour. " Surely," said the doctor, " I'll go to her this moment," and he started up. He had scarcely got his trousers on, when another ring at the bell introduced the visitor. " Doctor," said he, " will my wife require a nurse " A nurse !to be sure she will. Get one imme diately." " Bless me," said the prisoner, " what shall Ido ? No nurse will come at this late hour without money, and. in my hurry, I have not brought out a halfpenny with me. " Never mind that," said the doctor, pulling on his boots, " I'll let you have what will an swer the purpose," and he handed two half-crowns to the prisoner, who immediately departed. The doctor followed, but what was his vexation at finding that the house to which he had been directed was a police station, and there was no woman there except one that had been a mother 50 years ago. The fellow was remanded for another exami nation, as there are many more victims forthcoming. PRINCE POLIGNAC.—About two years since, Polignac, who was then French Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, was passing in the packet-boat from Dover to Calais. Whilst walking the deck, he observed a wretched being of a fellow-countryman on board " I remember you," said Polignac ; " where did I first become ac quainted with you ?" " You saw me," was the man's reply, "in a house of recovery at Paris, to which Napoleon had consigned you after he had pardoned you ; you were a prisoner on parole, but afterwards made your escape ; and you will please to remember too, that I won three small crown pieces of you over a bottle; you were unable to pay me, and are still in my debt for them. Polignac turned away from the man, not a little disconcerted by his impudence, and shortly sent the poor fellow three louis by the hands of his valet ; but his creditor re turned the fifty-one francs of change to him. This individual was a "trolling playa, and is said to be the person who recognised Po lignac at Granville, on the morning of the 16th instant.—Court Journol. SURRENDER IN DISCHARGE. or BAIL.—The act of the Ist William 4, cap. 70, passed 23d July, 1830, entitled "An Act for the more effectual Administration of Justice in England and Wales," l sect.2l enacts—" That a defendant held to bail on mesne process, may be rendered in discharge to the prison of the court out of which process isst.ed, or to the common gaol of the county in which he was arrested. For this purpose the defendant or his bail shall obtain a judge's order, ' and lodge such order with the gaoler of the county gaol, and a notice in writing of such lodgment, and of the defendant's being in custody, signed by the defendant or bail, shall be delivered to the plaintiff's at. tothey or agent, and die sheriff or other person responsible for the cus tody of debtors in such county gaol shall, on such render, be charged with the custody of such defendant, and the bail wholly exonerated hem liability." This set comes into operation on the 12th of October next. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. LANCASTER, Atm. 28. CROWN SlDE.—(Before the LORD CHIEF JUBSICE4 William Rowbotlom was found guilty, upon the clearest evidence, of an offence abhorrent to human nature. The Judge, on receiving the verdict, placed the cap on his headoind in the usual terms passed sentence of death upon the man. His lordship remarked, that crimes such as that of which the prisoner had been found guilty, had been, from the early periods of so ciety, punished by cutting off the offender from amongst the people; such, said his lordship, was the divine law, and such also had it been found expedient to make the English law ; for where the passions and appetites were so depraved as to induce an individual to resort to beastiality to gratify them, it argued that such gratifications were inconsistent with the good order of society, and demanded signal punishment. His • Lordship recommended the man to resort to the spiritual aid which would be afforded him, and by that means to en deavour to make his peace with his offended MAKER ere that fate which certainly awaited him should send him before another tribunal. The man protested his innocence as he was taken from the dock. Hugh Moss was arraigned upon a charge of having committed a rape upon a little child, named Sarah Groves, at Manchester. The evidence of the child did not bear out the allegations of the indictment, and the publication of the evidence would serve no useful purpose, but would rather tend to injure the cause of morality. His Lordship re marked, that unless where human life was in jeopardy, upon such a charge, it was more beneficial to supprtss than to publish the particu lan • and coinciding in this opinion, the reporter has done so. The fellow, before he was discharged, was severely reprimanded by the Judge, who remarked that no doubt could exist as to his hav ing injured, the poor little child most seriously; and also that he had committed a serious offence in a moral point of view. It was fortu nate for him that the age of the infant (13) placed his crime beyond the pale of the law, or a condign punishment would have attended him. Robert Proctor, a butcher, was indicted for stealing a cow. The evidence against him was that of the owner of the animal, who stated' that he shut her up in a field with seven others on the 11th of August,l and on the 12th he missed her ; the prisoner's son was seen driving a cow, like that missed, into his father's stable at Downham, and the father was selling very suspicious looking beef on his stall in the market-place at Downham ; subsequent search produced a skin, which the prosecutor identified was the same that had clothed the body of his beast: the Judge questioned him as to the marks by which he knew the skin, and he replied, that " his cow was an Irishman, and, in course, much giving to fighting : she'd had a quarrel the day before with some of her comrades, and received many wounds frum their horns, the marks of which were visible on her hide, and were those by which he identified her." ...... The prisoner said he bought the cow at (Allah° fair, of a man whom he did not know, but a witness proved him to have been on the same day at a place so far from the fair that it was not possible for him to have been there. _ _ The Jury found him Guilty.—Sentence of death recorded. NISI PRIUS. Before Mr. Justice BAYLEY. TENOAT V. PAGET. - - This was an action to reco;e7;larnageiif;Orn the defendant for slan derous words spoken by him, imputing to the plaintiff dishonest pray tiers as a tradesman. Mr. Brougham, for the plaintiff, stated to the jury that the injuty complained of was a most serious one as affecting a tradesman ; for by attacking his character for honesty, he struck at once at the root of his creditor. His client was a respectable leather dresser at Manchester, and up to the day of this slander he had borne an unblemished reputation amongst his neighbours ; but he now had to lament that his character had been injured by charges brought against him by the defendant as base as they were false. The defendant was in the same rank with plaintiff; and they , met often at a public house, called, from the desultory, noisy, and oftentimes bootless discus. sions which there occurred, the Parliament-house. The debates of this forum were not always conducted with the greatest order, nor in the most good-natured spirit ; it would be shown, that on one occasion of merrymaking and joviality at this public-house, the defendant had called the plaintiff a thief, and said be robbed his customers of leather. This was said, however, mat deliberately, and he (Mr. Brougham) trusted the jury would teach the defendant that he was not to take away the character of an English tradesman with impunity. The words alleged to have bee.% spoken were proved to have been so by several witnesses who were present. Mr. POLLOCK, for the defendant, contended that theaction was of so paltry a nature as to be undeserving of being brought before the pre. sent tribunal. 'Fite attacks of each party were equally coarse, and all that the defendant intended to assert was, that the plaintiff did not cut his leather so liberally as he himself did, and consequently his cus. tomers were not so well treated by him as the defendant's customers were by him. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 301. ADJOURNED INQUEST on AIMS C. CA SHIN. The inquest on the body of the above young lady was resumed at ten o'clock yesterday morning , at the Board-room. The Coroner having taken his seat, the examination of witnesses commenced. Mrs. Sarah Otley being sworn. was examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS- She deposed that she was the wife of Wm. Young Otley, lisq. of 31, Devonshire-street, Portland-place. She has been and still is under the care of Mr. bong ; she was with him that morning ; her son had been also under Mr. Long ; both herself and her son have received benefit from Mr. bong's mode of treatment, which she described as being 'intl. lar to that mode already adverted to so frequently by former witnesses. Saw Miss Cashin rubbed with the same liquid as that which had been applied to witness, and other of Alr. Long's patients. The ladies acre rubbed behind the screen ; witness was rubbed on the breast, back, and face ; it produced no effect on her back ; Miss Cashin told her the rubbing was not painful. There are three maid servants in Mr. Long's service, who attended upon the ladies. To Mr. Wakley : Did not see Miss Cashin's back rubbed; it was impossible that a different liquor could be used upon Miss Cashin from that applied to other ladies ; her reason for thinking so arose from her never seeing but one bottle containing the liquid, and the servants told her there was only the one kind of liquid ; could not say if there was a different bottle in Mr. Long's room from that which appeared in ge neral use. Witness had no idea of what ingredients the liquid in question was composed; she has washed the inside of her mouth with the liquid ; the reason which she had for supposing the liquid the same upon all occasions was, that it always tasted the same. Saw Miss Cashin on the Friday before her death; Miss Cashin seemed to feel great pain, and appeared very unwell; was first informed of her death on Thursday last. Called on \le. Long the same day that she heard of Miss Cashin's death ; Mr. Long said that he did not think it possible that Miss Cashin's death arose from the wound in her back, but from her stomach ; he mentioned the name of Mr. Brodie, and said he had not seen Miss Cashin since Mr. Brodie had been celled in, and also that Mrs. Cashin received him (Mr. Long) very kindly. Mt. Long did not say that Miss Cashin had been killed by the treatment of any other practitioner; Mr. Lung expressed a wish to witness that this in. quest should be held. The ladies had all their sponges marked with their names; they washed out their own sponges; there did not ap. pear to be any caustic on the sponges. To a Juror—The liquid used for rubbing had a pungent taste. She promised not to give any answer that would be likely to lead to an ana lyzation of the fluid used in rubbing. Mr. Adolphus here said that the witness ought not to shelter herself under any promise, for the purpose of objecting to give evidence that would lead to the elucidation of the truth. (Applause.) A Juror asked if Mr. Long was like the leg of mutton woman, who sent home haunches of venison to have his practice praised? (A laugh.) Mr. Adolphus hoped that this interrogatory would be taken down ; for as the genius that suggested the question might also influence the verdict, it would be well to let those before whom it was to go judge of the spirit that dictated it. The witness, in reply to the above question, said, that she knew nothing about what the juror had alluded to. She did not know Mr. Long when he was a painter. What she inhaled did not taste like what she was rubbed with; had no objection to be rubbed, nor did she ever know any lady object to being rubbed ; was never allowed to take any of the liquid home ; she was perfectly ignorant of the ingredients of which the fluid was composed ; she made a promise to Mr. Long never to afford any one an opportunity of analyzing his liquid composition. Signed a book to the same effect ; the name of the Supreme Being was not used upon the occasion. rhe Foreman of the Jury read a protest against receiving further evidence of this nature, as it did not go to prove the nature of the cause of Miss Cauthin's death. The Coroner did think that the evidence was most materiaL It proved that Mr. Long and his patients thought that the application used was, to say the least of it, innocent, if not beneficial. There wu a case tried some time ago at the Old Bailey, which appeared to him to be in point. An old schoolmaster, who thought himself skilled in herbs, gave a decoction to a young man which caused his death. The schoolmaster was put upon his trial for manslaughter, although • medical gentleman deposed that the prisoner had given the deceased a decoction twenty times stronger than he (witness) would have given to any of his Majesty's subjects, yet the judges were of opinion that if the prisoner had given the decoction fairly and ho. nourably, believing that it would produce a good effect, the verdict of Manslaughter, returned by the Coroner's jury, could not be sustained. The prisoner was consequently acquitted, and the only thing done was that a book which he published, and which he called a Herbal, was delivered up, and he believed burned by the corn. mon hangman. (A laugh.) Plow this appeared to him to be a case in point. If Mr. Long and his patients believed that the remedy used was, to say the least of it, innocent, it wee most material that h e s h ou ld prove that to the satisfa ction of the jury, as it must operate consider. ably upon the verdict to be come to by the jury. A Juror—Perhaps Mr. Long was like the schoolmaster—he killed by giving too much. Mr. Long by rubbing too much.—(Laseglitn.) Another Juror—We have it in evidence that Mr. Long does not know anything about the nature of a wound. Coroner—How many old women would go to pot (laughter,) if their decoctions were considered of no use ? A Juror here observed that if all warmth of feeling were laid aside by Jurors, medical men, At. the inquiry would go on quietly to the end. (Hear, hear.) Miss S. E. Orley, daughter to the last witness, deposed that, al though quite well, she had been frequently rubbed. Curiosity more than anything else caused her to rub - herself. She did it also for the good of her complexion. (A laugh.) The rubbing had neither good nor bad effect. Saw Miss Cashin at Mr. Long's on the Friday previous to her death. Witness and Miss Cashin went behind the screen on that day, but the lotion was not applied to Miss C.'s back on that day. Saw Miss C.'s back on that day, but saw no black spot. There was a wound about the size of the palm of her hand,which appeared to be full of matter, which was dried up, and looked like the crumb or white bread. There was a little red about the wound. Saw Miss Cashin fre quently. She appeared to be healthy, although her complexion was rather dark. _ _ Dr. Thompson here read a letter from Mr. Brodie, confirming the Doctor's statement, that he and Mr. Brodie did not differ about the term sloughing. Mr. Adolphus said, that he had a letter from General Sharpe, re questing to be allowed to make an addition to his evidence. General Sharpe and a friend of Mr. Long's here entered the room, the latter having a newspaper in his hand. Mr. Wakley wished a letter, signed Anthony Carlisle, which ap peared in a newspaper, should be read. Mr. Adolphus objected to anything appearing in a newspaper being engrafted on the proceedings of a Coroner's inquest. General Sharpe here said that he felt his honour was most mate rially concerned in consequence of the letter of Sir A. Carlisle, which appeared in the Times of that morning, and he was solicitous that Sir A. Carlisle should be brought before the Coroner to confront him (General Sharpe). He could prove that every word in that letter, and he was sorry to say it, was false. The Cotton za said, he did not see how he could call upon Sir A. Carlisle to attend these proceedings. General Sharpe here entered into some explanation of his evidence, and added, that Mrs. Sharpe had been so 11l before she went under Mr. Long, that she was unable to go out to a party or a dinner. The General here begged to say, that he had never said that Sir A. Carlisle said that Mrs. Sharpe's bones were decayed; perhaps the mistake arose from his saying, in reply to Dr. Thompson, that Mrs. Sharpe was all skin and bone. M. G. Prendergast, esq. M. P. deposed that, having a determination of blood to the head, accompanied by violent pain, and loss of sleep and appetite, he applied to Mr. Long, and was cured by tubbing and in haling. The witness described the various applications used by Mr. Long; they were similar to those already described by the other wit nesses. Witness's son was also instantly cured of a tooth-ache upon one application of the liquid, and the inflammation of the face fell the next day : (a laugh.) His daughter, of six years of age, was also cured of a violent sore throat with oue application. In consequence of the benefit which he and his family received at the hands of Mr. Long, he had recommended him a great many patients. To a Juror — When Mr. Long applied the remedy to witness's fore. head, he pressed very heavily upon the part, and witness was quite astonished that no acrid matter appeared In consevence—(Laughter.) Witness pressed Mr. V. Fitzgerald, the late President of the Board of Trade, to call in Mr. Long, sad it was witness's firm opinion, upon his oath, that had he done so, he would have been at the Board of Trade that day—(Laughter.) He has no reason to think that Mr. Long changed his lotion frequently. Mr. Long advised witness to drink a bottle of claret a day, which he most religiously adhered to. (Laughter.) Mr.W. Braithwaite, engineer, deposed that from his earliest days he was afflicted with a complaint which produced debility ; he was per fectly cured by Mr. Long's application ; he thought that the lotion used by him was the same that was generally used by Mr. Long's patients. Mr. N. Higgs, brewer, at Pimlico, deposed that he was cured of the gout by Mr. Long, in February last. Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell deposed that his daughter, a young lady of 15 years of age, was afflicted for st least six years with a pain in her hip, and that she had been under the care of several medical men, who, however, did her no service. By Mr. Long's treatment the con traction of the limb has been overcome. She walks yet with a crutch and stick, and cannot get her foot to the ground. Miss Smith has known Mr. Long for the last nine or ten years. She knew hint in Doneraile, in Ireland. He was then very young. He was well educated, and was always a very talented person. He lived in the same house with witness and her brother ; he studied anatomy for a considerable time ;he was also fond of painting. Has been under the care of Mr. Long for the last four months. She was subject to severe head-aches. Has received more benefit from Mr. Long than any other medical man. Alias Roxburgh deposed that she had been labouring under a com plaint from her birth, which medical men called a decline. She has been under the care of Mr. Long, on and off, for the last two years. Was under his care when Miss C. Cashin used to go to Harley-street. Miss C. Cashin appeared to be anything but a healthy person. Ann, Countess of Buckinghamshire, deposed that she is a patient of Mr. ng's. Witness saw Miss Cashin at Mr. Long's. She (Miss C.) had just received the lotion. Witness also received some of the lotion that day. She repeatedly saw the same lotion applied to several ladies. Witness received no injury from being rubbed that day. She continued to visit Mr. Long, and would do so to.morrow. She is very much recovered since she had been with Mr. Long. Alice Dyke was next examined.—l am in the employment of Mr. Long, in Harley-street. I have been employed five months to nib the female patients. Remembers Miss Catherine Cashin was not a healthy looking person. Catherine was rubbed but once with the lotion. It was on the 3d of August. I rubbed her. I rubbed six other ladies on that day : they were Mrs. and Alin Otley, Lady Buckinghamshire ' Miss Johnson, Miss Cavanagh , and another lady, whose name we could not catch. The same day the mother of Miss Cashin washed her hands in the self-same lotion. Not one of the ladies ever complained in consequence of their being rubbed. In answer to the Coroner she said, the rubbing appeared to have no other effect upon Miss Cashin's back than it had upon those of the other ladies. Miss Csahin was only rubbed once. Her back was dressed every day with cabbage-leaves. This continued for three weeks : (a strong sensation was here manifested by the persons present.) The day she came was on a Friday ; she died on the Monday. On the Friday she appeared in a perfect state of health. bliss Cashin could not have been rubbed without her knowledge. The rubbing and inhaling did not oc. cation very severe illness. She never heard any person complain. To a Juror—There are two kinds of lotion. To Mr. Adolphus—What she means is, that the same lotion that rubs the patients, washes them. To Dr. Thompson—Miss Cashin was tubbed every day, axd only washed once. To Mr. Adolphus—What 1 mean is, that when I rub I use the sponge and the lotion longer than when I wash, which I do with the same lotion. By washing, I mean merely sopping with the lotion the part which has been before rubbed, which rubbing produced excoriation. To a Juror—She used only a little of the lotion at a time —lt was left to her own discretion what quantity she should use. It was explained to her by Mr. Long how long she should rub. Mr. Long was not in the habit of seeing the manner in which she ruF. bed young ladies. She was in the habit of making a note of what she did. She was not ill when she went to Mr. Long. She frequently washed her face in the lotion, and it improved her complexion consider. ably. (laughter.) This concluded the evidence. The Coroner having summed up the evidence, the Jury retired to con. eider their verdict about five o'clock. . . At a quarter past eight o'clock a Jut or entered the inquest-room, and requested to hear the Coroner's definition of Manslaughter. 'fhe Coroner explained the distinction; after which the Juror re turned to his fellows, and in five minutes afterwards the Jury returned. Coroner—What is your verdict ? Foreman—Manslaughter. A cry of " Bravo ! front one or two voices, and a buzz evidently of approbation. The Coroner exclaimed against such a manifestation of feeling, and said that the place was more like a bear-garden than anything else. Such conduct reflected no credit upon the persons guilty of it. Then turning to the Jury, he asked them against whom they returned a verdict of manslaughter ? Foreman—Against Mr. St. John Long. The Coroner having learned that Mr. Long had left the house, issued has warrant for his apprehension. The Jury and persons who waited the result then separated. 1 POLICE REPORTS. MAxinow-HousE.—Ax EXTRAORDINARY PAUPER—The officers of the parish of Aldgate were sumtr.oned before the Lord Mayor by a pauper named Franey, for having refused to contribute to his support. The particular of the case of the pauper, although in the highest de. gree distressing, were told in such a manner as to cause general laughter. In fact, the most shocking circumstance of all became from the manner in which it was stated the source of the greatest merriment to the crowd. The pauper is a young man, and such was his disregard for the de licacies of life, that the moment he appeared at the bar, the rest of the paupers shrunk back from him. A dozen times too during the hearing of the ease he put on one of those crying faces which children alone are privileged to exhibit, and his tears, by washing away the dirt from the upper part of his face, made a most ludicrous contrast between that and the lower. He said he had a claim upon the parish of Aldgate from having ►een born there, but in what part of the parish he could not tell ; however, when he applied for relief nobody would give him nothing. Kinnersley, the beadle, declared that he knew nothing at all of the pauper. If the man was born in the pariah he must have been born under circumstances that were a bar to his claim, for neither he nor his father was known to the authorities. The jumper, with tears in his eyes, aid•he had also to demand justice upon some villians who had robbed him. The I.oaD hlawort—.of what could you have been robbed ? The Pauper --Why, my Lord, - they broke into my room, and stole . away two ebairs and a cupboard, and a pair of bellows, and my med ic) —(Loud laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—Your mother ! what, in the name of c o d, could they have wanted with your mother The Pauper.—Please your worship it's a well known thing that they stole away my poor old mother, and why should Ifbe treated so? What did I do to be marred out with sitch a robbery? why, nothing at a ll, please your Worship. Why should they take away the poor old cre4 lure from me ? (laughter amongst the crowd, which it was impossible to check.) The case of the robbery of the old woman' was quite unintelligible to the Lord Mayor, until the pauper proieeded farther .with his lamentation. The LORD MaYou.—But, my good fellow, your mother will, rn doubt, return to you. The Pauper—Rctum, your Worship ill oh,:shc never will retu rn . How can she return ? why she was dead afore she left. The LORD MAYOR—Oh then it was her coque that was stolen • Is that the case 1 The Pauper—Yes, your Lordship, they came when I was gom out and broke open the door, and they takes away the chairs, an,i body, and bellows, and all, without even asking me whether I wottbi or no. (Loud laughter.) The Lord Mayor said that if the statement was true, the poor man was greatly to be pitied ; although he was, perhaps, one of the most extraordinary figures that ever appeared at that bar, and had the most ludicrous peculiarities about him, it was a shame to laugh at his misery. Ilere the poor man began to whimper and put his hand to his eyes, which he sometimes wiped with the sleeve of his coat, and sometimes with a piece of brown paper, which he also used copiously as a pocket handkerchief. Ilia Lordship directed that Franey should be taken into the houi until proper inquiries should be made. Kinnersley said that if the man was put into the house the other pau pers would rebel, and GOD only knew what would be the consequence ; it was necessary that the living proofs of neglect and indigence which he born about him should be removed as soon as possible. The pauper intimated that in two hours, or three at mo.t, he should dispatch that objection. MAILLBOROUGH-STREET.—Yesterday, a young woman, named Mary Henderson, was brought before Mr. Roe, the sitting Magistrate, charged with sobbing a gentleman of his watch. A police-constable stated that the prisoner was given in charge to him by the complainant, who said that she had robbed him of his watch while they had been together at some house of ill-fame, and on search ing the prisoner at the police station, the watch now produced was found in her possession, which the gentleman at the time identified as belong. ing to him. The Magistrate now asked the complainant (if complainant he can be called,) whether the statement made by the constable was correct, or not ? The gentleman replied that it was not, for he never meant to charge the girl with robbing him, for in fact she did not rob him of the watch at all. The Magistrate said, that was very strange—was not the watch his property ? The lientleman said yes, he believed it was. Then, said the Magistrate, how did it come into her possession if she did not rob you of it—did you give it to her ? No, the gentlemen said, he did not give it to her, and how she became possessed of it he could not tell, but he was sure she did nut rob him of It. Several police constables declared that the gentleman directly charged the prisoner with having robbed him at the police station when she was brought there. The Gentleman, however, still persisted that the prisoner did not rob him, and in the end the Magistrate, not being able to extract any further evidence from him, ordered the watch to be given up to the person from whom it was taken, namely, the prisoner. The Gentleman looked ama zed at this order, but was still more astounded when be saw the watch with several gold seals attached to it. together with a watch guard, &c. handed over to the prisoner, who very deliberately walked out of the office with them, not seeming to take the slightest notice of thereat owner, but carefully putting them into her breast vanished before the gentleman could recover from his amazement. The gentleman subsequently applied to the magistrate to know how he was to recover his watch, but the magistrate told him that the thine was gone by for magisterial interference ; for, as he thought proper to contradict his first statement, and say that the girl did not steal or rob him of the watch, a magistrate had no power to assist him, and he must get his watch back in the beat way he could. The girl herself appeared no less surprised than the gentleman at the turn things had taken, when she uw the watch delivered up to her. lJxtox HALL.—On Saturday the particulars of a man named Pratt having voluntarily surrendered himself for a murder committed some years back, appeared in most of the daily papers. The man who made the selt.accusatior., was ordered to be kept in custody until enquirLs were instituted as to the truth of an individual being murdered in that part of the country where Pratt alleged it was committed. Owing to the publicity given to the circumstances detailing Pratt's confession, a man named Berry, who seems to have some knowledge of the affair, called on chief constable Hall en Sunday morning, and said that, hav- ing read an account of Pratt's appearance at this office, he (Berry) had come forward to state some facts connected with the murder of a Mr. Wood, a farmer, which was committed about eight years ago at a place called Ma le-road, near Stockport, in Cheshire. The deceased, he said, was dragged out of his cart, as he was returning home from Mar ket, by two men, and he having resisted their attempts to rob him, they cruelly murdered him, by beating his head with a large stone that was found lying beside the body of the unfortunate victim. soon after the murder was perpetrated, a man named John Dale was apprehended on the charge, and he had not been many days in gaol before he made a full confession of his guilt; in the course of which he implicated a man named Pratt as having been concerned in the dreadful deed. Dale was subsequently tried for the murder, found guilty, and afterwards executed; but, notwithstanding the vigilant exertions of the police, for a long time, his accomplice in the crime was not taken, and it was generally believed in the country that he had made his escape to America. Berry, the chief constable's informant, declares that h, was present at the execution of Dale, and that his last words on the scaffold were expressive of his hope that Pratt would be taken. Berry, in the course of his statement, said that he had known Pratt previously to the murder of Mr. Wood, by seeing him at Stockport and other places in the same county. Chief constable Hall inquired if Berry new saw Pratt whether he should recollect him 8 The answer being in the af firmative, Berry was taken to the Cnunty Gaol, where Pratt is now con. tined, and after some hesitation with regard to identity, Bcny said. al. though the man then in custody was much altered in appearance, yet he firmly believed he was the man who was supposed to have been con cerned with Dale in the murder. It is remarkable, that ever since the day Pratt surrendered himself, although he then expressed a desire to unfold the particulars of an atro cious murder, he has preserved the utmost silence on the subject. seal appears now to suffer under great depression of spirit.. Ile will be kept in custody until further inquiries are made respecting the affair, to ac celerate which letters have been forwarded to the gaolers of 31ancliettct and Stockport. _ THAMES POLICE —Daniel APCarlhy was remanded, charged with plundering the premises of Mr. Brown, 1 ild Gravel-lane, Slialwell, a quantity of iron, smiths' tools, and other property.
