PETTY SESSIONS. ST. ANDREW, HOLBORN, AND ST. GEORGE THE MARTYR, MIDDLESEX, V. THE OCCUPIER, OF CHAMBERS IN LINCOLN'S INN. A Petty Ses , inns was held yesterday morning at the Workhouse, Little Gray's Inn-lane, for the purpose sit the Magistrates giving their deci.ir.n respecting issuing distress warrants against several professional Gentlemen. occupiers of Chambers in Lincoln's Inn, for seven years' arrears of poor rates. The cases of four persons were entered into a few days since; but the Magistt ates con sidering it a question of such vast importance to both parties, postponed giving their decision until yesterday. Shortly after eleven n'clnck, Mr. Puavis, "Captain TOMLINSON. and Mr. SECKSTT, entered the Committee room. when Mr. Nevis sired that himself and brother Magistrates had given the cases their most attentive consideration, and they were unanimously of opinion that the parish was entitled to the full amount of rates demanded, and it not immediately paid they should fed it their duty to issue a warrant oil distress. Mr. BRoDRICK and Mr. SMITH attended as Counsel for the occupiers of chambers, who it is expected will appeal to the Quarter Sessi.dns against this decision of the Magistrates. Mr. Sergeant MIRIWZATHER conducted the case on behalf of the parish, and was informed by the Magill. Crates. that it the rates were not paid, or an appeal en tered into in the coutse of the day, they would sign the necessary warrant for a levy on the goods to-morrow (this day). The Overseers then applied for summonses against fourteen other Gentlemen, occuriers of ch.mhers in Lincoln's Inn, amongst whom were the A ttorneyGeneral, Mr. Maule, Mr. Sugden, Mr. Horne, atc. which were stewed, and the cases ordered to be heard and deter mined next week. The perish demand seven years arrears of poor rates, amounting to nearly 12.0001. which the other side are determined not to pay but upon compulsion. It will be recollected the question has b. en three times tried in the Court of King's Bench, and on each occasion a ver dict has been obtained in favour of the parish. The case is one of immense importance to the parishioners, and excites very great interest. MYSTERIOUS DEATH. Monday an Inquest was held at the Griffin Inn, Leeds, before R. BARR, Esq. Comm r for that b.,rough, on view of thelsody of Ebenezer John .on, aged nine sears, lying at the house of his father, Mr. Mat. lihn son, situate on the Wellington-mad, in that town. Tha l inquiry was instituted at the reque,t of W. Hey, E.+ I the surgeon, of Leeds, who had attended most unre mittingly the unfortunate youth from the . commence ment of his short and severe illness to its melancholy termination ; and who, on the poet snorter* examination of the body, found the appearances to be such as ren amed proper an investigation of the circumstances of the case. The inquiry, as involving the future peace of mind of a most respectable family, thus assumed a very important aspect, and was of a nature at once the most painful and interesting. The investigation, which commenced at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, did n t terminate till nen. five is the evening. The Coroner addressed the Jury as follows : Gentlemen, before we proceed to view the body of Ebenezer Johnson, the cause of whose death we are met to investigate, I think it necessary to state 'a few cir cumstances, in order to guide your attention to the evi dence. The deceased, who, I understand, was nine or ten years of age, is the son of Mr. Matthew Johns• n, residing near the Public Baths, and died in the course of last week, at the house of his sister, in Park-street. Ile was attended by Mr. Hey, tie surgeon, and that gentleman called upon me to say that there were cif. cumstances count cted with the boa's death which ex cited in his mind some sort of surprise. The symptoms, Mr. Hey thought, were such as would be produced by the admitlistcting some deleterious substance; and I am infcrmeJ that there have been four deaths within the short space of eighteen weeks in the same family. The first death, it would appear. took place un doss telly as the effect of typhus feser. The second death was sudden, attended with a degree of vomiting. In the third death, which took place very soon after in second, the symptoms were precisely similar—pain the chest, attended with vomiting ; and Ebenezer, the fourth, whose death, as I before laid, we are now met to inquire iqto, also died after a short illness, at tended by violcnt pain in the chest, great thirst, and much vomiting. These circumstances were such as to induce Mr. Hey to require that the body of the deceased might be opened. Nt t the least objection aas made by the sister of the deceased, at whose house the boy died, nor by his father, to this proposition ; and the body was in consequence opened by Mr. John Hey, in the presence cf his father and two of his pupils. On the examination of the stomach, the appearances (a Lich will be best de- scribed by the evidence of Mr. Hey himself, who will be called in) wile such as to induce him to suggest the propriety of the present investigation ; and it is but Justice to Mr. Johnson and his daughter to say th .t they both acquiesced most willingly in that proposition, and were anxious to have the matter thoroughly inquired into. 1. understand, also, that another sun, who has' just come home, now lies dangerously ill. and that the' maid servant of Mr. Johnson's daughtet also lies ill at the House of Recovery. lam not awa.e that .411 y per son in particular stands accused; or that any CIICUITI stance has hitherto come to light to criminate any in& vidual ; but taking into consideration all these singular circumstances, I felt it to be my duty to summon you together; and the very important inquiry remains f r you, whether the deceased, Ebenezer Johnson, came to his death simply by natural causes, or by violent means? Mr. Hey, the surgeon, two sisters, and the father and mother of the deceased, were examined in support of this statement; the father stating that lie had no doubt of the insanity of his wife, against whose wishes, it, would appear, the children were sent to their sister's. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a see dist, which, when entered by the Coroner, and read over, stood thus—" That the deceased died of inflam mation ut the stomach, and that the said inflammation was c used by the Visitation of Gon in a natutal way, and not from any violence or osherwise.'" The Windham Club possesses this peculiarity, that ft admits strangers to dine with any member who dimes to intro- 1 duce thew. Ye-terday an Inquest was held at the London Hos pital, t n the body of WilliAm Zreen. aged 13. The deceased and serval other, boys were winding the handle of a winch, to turn a quantity of wash which was boiling in the distillery of Meisrs. Smith and Co. distillers, at Whitechapel, when he suddenly let the handle go, and it struck him in the breast, and forced into the copper of boiling wash. He was so dread fully scalded, that be was beyond the reach of human aid, and died is a few boors. Verdict-0 4 Accidental Death." DREADFUL CALAMITY—EIGHT PERSONS DROWNED. PROM THE HULL PACKET OE TUESDAY. It is with most sincere and heartfelt freangs r f regret we have to state that, since cur first impression went to press, intelligence has been received of the occurrence, in the vicinity of Spurn, on Sunday last, of a su. st 411:ctitig calamity, by which eight individuals have pet ished I The particulars of thislart.entable affair are but imperfectly known at present; we have, however, made what inquiry was in our power, in the limited space that has elapsed; and the following, we believe, is a cur rect outline ol the circumstances connected with this me. larcholy.catastrophe.On Sunday morhing,three trading vessels, the Pliebe, (.1 Goole, the Helms'. y, of Seib). and the &By, of this port, we:e lying uff Spurn, a ben the three masters, Captain Sales, Samuel Healas, arid George Briggs, agreed amongst themselves to spend the day with the family cf Mrs. Richardson, who resides at the km n Light-house. They left their respective yes sels at half-past eleven on Sunday morning, in the boar of one of them, accompanied by three men and a b,ny, all belonging to the Phebe. and a man belonging to one of the other vessels. Haling spent some time at Mrs. Richardson's, it appears the unfortunate men got into their boat to return :o their vessels, but were beard, previously to leaving the house, to express a determination to procure some cockles. Alter this, nothing was heard or seen of them; they, however, never returned to their vessels. Considerable alarm cnnsequetstly prevailed, and the m. it melancholy forebodings were indulged in, which were, alas! con- verted into certainty by the finding of one of.the b - dies yesterday morrs'ng, washed up by the tide at Clee thorps, on the Lincolnshire coast, and the subsequent discovery of the remainder in the same vicinity. The boat has nt.t hitherto been met with, but a bag of cockles was found near the spot where the bodies were washed ashore. The immediate cause of this dreadful event tbus remains unknown, as every person on board tine boat has perished ; but it is supposed that they had got on Cleethorps sand for the purpose of collecting cockles, and had returned to their boat, when, by some accident or other, the boat was upset. The whole of the bodies now lie at the ion at Cleethorps, but the Coroner's Inquest has not yet been held. MURDER OF A HUSBAND BY HIS WIFE. A murder has, within the last few days, been com mitted at St. Lo (France). which has caused a great sensation in the neighbourhood. Ft ancis Lebaron, the man who was murdered, was the occupier of a small farm near St. Lo, was about 22 years of age, and had been married for a few years to a woman some months younger than himself, and who is said to be rery beau tifol. They, however, did not live happy together, and the woman was Olen heard to threaten her husband, it'd to express the most deadly hatred towards him. She had complained to the police a few months since of having been severely beaten by her hus• hand, and exhibited several bruises and wounds, which she said had been inflicted by him; but she con• fessed, on being strictly examined, that she bad made them herself, for the purpose of getting rid of a husband whom she detested. A few days ago the police was informed that the dead body of Lebaron had been fund in his own stable; he was clothed, and his hat was on the ground near him. On examination it was obvious that he had been murdered; but his clothes were neither torn nor bloody, nor did they beat any appearance of violence having been used; bait, on taking them cff, upwards of forty wounds, which had recently been inflicted, were found on various parts of the body, and especially one on the back part of the head, which had evidently been given with some heavy blunt insrrument,and had fractured the skull,and proba bly occasioned immediate death. The wife, on hearing of the death of her husband, uttered the most violent screams and lamer,tations, and was not pacified without great difficulty. Notwithstanding these appearances, she was strongly suspected, and . a man of the name of Vauttier, who bore a very bad character, and who re sided in the neighbt.urhood of Lebaron, was strongly suspected of being concerned ; he was arrested, and some spots of blood were found on his clothes, and being severely questioned, he became embarrassed and contradicted himself, and at last confessed that he and the wife of the deceased had committed the mur.'or. She at first denied the charge, but afterwards admitted that it was the case. According to their confessions, it appears that at about ten o'clock of the night of the murder, Vauttier called at the house of Lebaron, who was then in bed and asleep; but he saw the female prisoner, who urged him to kill her husband, and promised him a large sum of money for so doing Vauttier, armed with a heavy hammer, then struck Lebaron on the head, who, on rising from the bed, re. ceived a second blow on the head, which kiled him. The wife of the deceased, who was present, cut his throat, and inflicted a great number of wounds on the body with a knife. When the body was on the ground she jumped on it, and mutilated it in a most horriblt and revolting manner. These wretches then drank a bottle of bratofy; alter which they clothed the body and conveyed it to the stable, for the purpose of making it appear that the crime had been con.mstted by strangers, and then endeavoured to erase all marks of blood from the chamber. The woman afterwards went to bed, and slept till late in the morning. 0 one of the labourets iaquiting for his master, she observed—that ' after having led the horses, she supposed 1w had got.e to his father's, as she had not se.n him." The boJ) was shortly afterwards di•covered by tie man in the stable. Vaut ier asserted that while drinking the brandy, and while the body of her murdered husband was before her, she remarked—the only thing that embarrassed her was, how she should be able to assume an appearance o of grief on the morrow, and shed tears. The trial is to take place at the ensuing Assizes. The Treasurership of the Catholic Rent appears to be founded upon a true Irish principle—that of accounting for the receipts, but saying nothing about the disburse menus. So frequent and daring have become the nightly de. predations in the neighbourhood of Lisson-green and Portland Town, that the inhabitants are neither safe in their houses, nor able to leave them in security. Grain of all kinds—maize, the seeds- r f cruciform plants, potatoes, &e. by treatment with chlorine are much increased in vegetative power, are sooner ripe, and produce a crop three or four times as *feat as that obtained under ordinary circumstances. fhe process is to steep the seed 12 hours in river water (never in well-water), then 14 or 15 drops of a strong solution of chlorine is to be added for each quart of water, the whole well mixed, and the maceration of the seed con dotted for six hours longer in the sunlight, and under a bell glass, or for want of a bell glass under a cover made with oiled paper. The seed is then to be sepa rated from the liquid on a cloth, and for the conveni ence of sowing mixed with a sufficient quantity of cinders, sand, or dry earth. When sown, the "rater of maceration is to be poured OM the ground. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. . GUILDHALL. Thomas Mims. who was chatted with defrauding Mr. Upset, a pawnbroker, hi Barbican, by pledging several lumps of metal with him, falsely represent ing them to be standard silver, was brought up fur final examination. Geutge Johnston stated that bekbad been employed to assay the pieces of metal, and he found them to be a mixture of tip and lead. The prisoner put several questions to the prosecutor, which were unimportant. and stated in his defence that be had been led into embarrassments front paying high interest to the prosecutor fur advances, and the facility with which snicks were taken in pawn from him induced him to commit the offence. Alderman Kitt reprobated the defence, and committed him for trial on the three charges/or obtaining money mutter take pretences. Sonrrinar Daticarr—One Jabs Breen was charged with hav ing ituien tout pieces of gingerbread, the same being of the aggregate value of three halfpence. John Brown, It appeared, *as caogbt in the commission of this very " petty larceny ;" bet the owner of the gingerbread. eupp. ming John Brown might have been instigated thereto by hunger, would have let him go ; and he was about to du so, but perceiving John Brown's pockets stick out very awkwardly, he had them searched. and found therein a bottle of brandy and the better half of a quartets Boat. " Why you unconscionable vagabond :"'said the owner of the gingerbread to John Oruwn, " hew could you think of stealing gingerbread, when you had all this bread and brandy in your pockets? ' To which John Brown replied—" Truly, I admit the bread and the brandy ; but my stomach is weal, and I wanted a bit of soNseiliiag delicate." Now the gingerbread man, however he might feel Bettered by the compliment thus paid to his gingerbread, had an notion of the goodness of John Crown's plea ; and conceiving that John Brown's honesty was more weak than his stomach, he gave Jobn Drown in charge to the constable, who now brought him before tbe Magis trate. Before the Magistrate John Brown said nothing ; and the Magistrate being of opinion that John Brown was more troubled with the cacseihesfilchesidi than with dyspepsia, committed him fur further examination, under an idea that be bad not come isinesdy by the bread and the brandy, and that a more iawtui owner fat those things :night be found in the meantime. BOW—STREET• Yesterday Miss Anna Maria Williams, a plump, dark, handsome faced, well-spoken young Cyprian, dressed in a coarse straw bonnet, a superannuated blue shawl, and a bombasine gown that bad once been new, was put into the dock on a charge of forcible abduction arid robbery to the amount of two striding, and fourpcnce, from the person of a light-brown-haired, blue-body-coated, young man, of the name of John Dear, in a house in Southampton-courr, at two o'clock yesterday morning , under the following extraord inary circumstances— * Mr. Dear said, that be was a resident of Ws!worth. This morn ing at two o'clock, be was making the best of his way to his place of residence through the Strand, when, on arriving near South ampton-street, the fair prisoner took bold of his left arm, and at tempted to lute him to her dangerous haunts by bet honeyed elo quence. The complainant was Cyprian proof, and peremptorily refused to accompany the damsel to her habitation. The prisoner now altered her friendly tone, swore at bins like a trooper, and seizing him by the collar, dragged him vi et &rods," into her dark den, and closed the portal. The prisoner did not scream murder either in the street or in the house. He was so muck alarmed at his sudden and gallant capture, that he found himself following the Lady, still against his will, up an obscure staircase into a sitting room. There the prisoner forcibly put her hand into the complainania right hand pocket, and took therefrom the sum before stated. _ _ The Magistrate cautioned the prosecutor to be quite certain that the pitsoner had forced hint to enter the house, in which be stated that she afterwards robbed him, before he 11W4g• to a statement that would deprive the in /WIWI' of her liberty. The young man persisted in his previous assertions. The young woman, iu her defence, said, that the complainant had voluntarily accompanied her to her lodgings, and that he bad laid the two shillings and fourpeoce, stated to have been forcibly taken from his person ' on a table in Ate room. The lady of the home bad pocketed a shilling, and the prisoner took the remainder. As fur my forcing him to go into the house, continued the prisoner, who spoke with great correctness, animatsein, and volubility, the complainant is not an infant dear. and it 'would be no easy task fur a woman, hke myself, to take bins up in my anus and carry bins to my lodgings in the manner be has stated.—The prisoner was re manded, for the production a the lady of the house. MART-LA-BONNE. Mr. J. Collins, a charcoal burner at Camberwell. was charged by Mr. Turquand, one of the principal maintain for Surrey, with *ending in a quantity of coals which were deficient in m o Mr. Tickner, of Foley-street. It was proved by George Wilcox, a labouring meter, that out of 31 sacks, delivered as above. four teen were deficient—in all. nineteen pecks ands ball were wanting. Mr. *Dauer said, in the beginning of December Mr. Collins told him be had bought five chaldrons at Reck's Wharf. and if he liked to take half of them be might, and be consented. Mr. Rostrum wished to know whether *.•Collins pined by the short meaaure ? _ _ Mr. Collins declared he made no profit in the price, and knew nothing about the measure. kir. Hus►ttts considered the charge made out, and fined bin% 20s. upon each uck which was deficient. Mr. Collins gave notice of appeal to 'he Sessions. HA'TTON—G A RDEN. YOU, lads, named Re6ert iiiner, - Damd ---- * 'Kansa, &mid Gray, and William Zing, were brought up by Waddington, who on Thursday evening observed them trying the windows of several shopkeepers in St. John-street. lie immediately took them into custody. The Magisti ate (Mr. Lanai) said, he suspected that they belonged to the gang of juvenile depredators, called the " Forty Thieves," which they stoney denii d ; but upon their being stripped, they were all found marked on the right artn with the bore of a female, and the initials It. M. over k—underneath the letters R.ll. appeared. The kft arm was also marked with the before-mentioned initials—the dis inctive mark by which the members of the 0 Forty Thieves" gang are known. Ulster was sent to the Jim* of Cor rection for 2 mouths; Wiggins and Gray for six weeks each; and King was discharged. LABIBETII-STREET. Wnsis o'Cuica 2—Martha Haynes underwent a final eaamina• tion, on a charge of robbing a seafaring man named Wilson, of a watch and a silk umbrella. The prosecutor stated, that on Christmas Eve, Uke others, wish ing to enjoy the festivities of the season, he went to a public house in White YAW, liosemary-lane. Previous to entering this par. lour he stopped at the bar. While there a man of decent appearance asked him—" What's o'Clock ? He pulled out his watch to in form him, and having told him the hour, the prisoner said—" My good Sir, the Gentleman seems somewhat dubious; let me see the watch, and I'll tell him—" What's o'Clock." Ile unsuspectingly gave her the watch, and thinking her an honest woman, left it ice her hands for a few mottoes while he went out of doors. (In his return he discovered that appearances were not to be trusted, for that the prisoner had bolted with both his watch and silk umbrella. He subsequently procured the assistance of a watchmen. who took her Into custody. The prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the tremolo°, was fay committed for trial. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HUNTING.

The annals of bare-hunting scarcely furnbb a more remittable instance of sporting pleasure tbau that afforded to the admirable running of our Kilkenny harriers on St. Stephen's day. The bounds threw off at 1301113titS•10W11, and, In a short time, a bare was soliti'd which afforded good sport for about twenty minutes, when the bounds were drawn off. Soon after a second hare was started in the beg of Monevidrew, adjoining Glenn. tihe ran over the hill of . Ballydaniel, very near to Three Castles, and from thence by the bin of Kilroe to the back of &mutts town demesne; she then went in the direction of Knockrue cover, wber: she crontd the road and made for Barrack•bill, passing by the Louse of &ukases, and through the bottoms to Curragb.bill, at which place abe ;zee a view," and shortly after was terminated the existence of one of the stoutest hares that ever ran. Poor puss, at the lowest calculation, ran a distance of 12 Irish (upwards of 15 English) miles, in about an hour and 20 minutes. Several horsemen were thrown off as well as out, and but sir sportsmen were in at the death, amongst whom was Z. Cooke, Esq. the public spirited proprietor of the Kilkenny barriers; Mr. Cummins. of Hiab-street, and the haute. man also rode well throughout. There was but one check. lot a few minutes, during the entire hunt. Some of the country people, astonished at the rapidity with which the hounds were going, rs. peatedly asked, " fait a fox?" The barriers have had nine oplemild bunts this season, hut the above was. by far the most brilliant. The Gentry of Kilkenny and its neighbourhood are muftis.• debted to Mr. Cooke for the excellent spurt invariably afforded by his welieelected pack ; and the kindness of hi. manners and dispo. stein induces the peasantry to afford every facility in their pots to the pleasures .1 the chase.—Eillorusy Moderator. _ THE FANCY.

This battle was fought yesterday, at a short distance behind the Crown public house at Holloway; and, though trifling in a pees nlary respect, It was one of the most severely contested battles that has been fought for some time. Glilam was the heaviest and tallest of the two combatants • be was seconded by Bill Bateman and John Gillenn whilst the combatants; of Shamrock was waited upon by Ned Stockman and James Reims Beth men being perfectly game, the slashing was protracted to the unusual length of two hours and Ste minute., during which, owing to disputes and interruptions, only 56 rounds were fought. Galena,. in the beginning, was much punished about the body, and the Sprig, to rppearauce, took the lead of him ; but GiUam, getting awake pi , his mameuvres, punished hint afterwards tremendously about the' head, and bad also the best of the contest in general. After 111 i minutes hard fighting, a foal blow was asserted to balm been struck by the Sprig, when Gillam's friends took their man away, 84 claimed the battle-money. The Sprig of Shamrock was so weds. hurt that it became necessary to leave him at the neat public•hoese, whilstGillam was sufkiendy well to return to town with his lackeys and Meads.

UNION-HALL Yesterday Join Valextuee, who formerly was in extensive bud. mu at Manchester, was chanted with stealing a coat from a gig in the passage of the house of a Gentleman named Brown, in Ber mondsey, the property of William Reardon. Ms servant. The facts were fully proved against Mm; but at the kind suggestion of Mr. Hone, the Sitting Magistrate, the prosecution was abandoned, It being perfectly obvious that the prisoner bad committed the t►eft through want. lie related a long tale of trouble and misfortunes to which be had been subjected—from the comfort and luxury of Silence, to the misery and wretchedness of poverty. He has lately subsisted on the charity of the benevolent, to whom he was known in his days of prosperity. Saturday evening, about eight o'clock, a man was killed in the Bridgegate under very. painful circum stances. A member of his family had fallen out with some of the neighbours, and was making a great noise, when the father came down stairs for the purpose of taking his nrky friend up. While they were proceeding up stairs, the man fell backwards, and was killed.— Glasgow threside. Friday afternoon, an incident occurred at Kiskintil loch, which has created a great sensation in that village. A child, which bad been playing about the doors, was suddenly missed ; and tbe paraits, very naturally, were the own into a state of great consternation, and caused the circumstance to be made known in the village by tuck of drum, but to no effect—the child could no where be found. As a last resort, several pities set off, at a rapid pace, in different directions. The party who bad chosen the Glasgow road, when a considerably way from the village, began at length to approach two men, who, seeing they would soon be •vertaken, ane probably conpcturing what the party were in quest of. , aid down the stolen child, and mad* a speedy retreat.
