ROCHDALE, JULY 31, A CHILD MURDERED BY A MANIAt. A shocking circumstance took place at Kilnditch, tear this town, on Saturday last, about eight o'clock in the evening. Abe little Ilialen haired bey, about live years of age, the son of Jive Shore, a woollen weaver, went to play in the house of Henry Howar b, aill• a woollen weaver, when Howarth, having at the time a razor in his hated, immediately seized the child, and cut its ' throat, inflicting a *round right across, four inches in length, and tine quarters of ail inch in depth. in a previous part of the day, the child had received a cut upon in forehead with failing, and it is stated by some that it went Into Howarth's !route to shew hint the plaster, when be immediately iidhold of It, saying I'll plaster thee," held back its head, and drew the razor acr•ss its throat, indicting the deep and fatal gash above described. The Uttle innocent then dropped from under hia bloody hands upon the door. It never screamed or made any noise, hat, as one of the women said, it poked with its foot once, and dad. One of the man's own children, a boy about seven years of age, was, during the transaction, up stair', and when the ebild came down, he laid hold of him with the intention of murdering ble d also, but the child fell upon his knees and said, . 6 Eh, dad, dutna don, an' I'll gi' thee a kawpenny." The wretched being, as if s c out(' no longer keep his hold, suffered it to slip from his grasp, and it into the lane, crying, Where's my nom, dad's o' u " where's my mlen sca r e e d ny I L. The n e i ghbours were thus alarmed, and a stout woman ran into the house and found the maniac with the razor at his own throat, in which he made a 'light incision. Sbe struck down his band, and her screams, added to these of the living child, brought several men from their looms, sod he was secured. It appears that the author of this lamentable deed has for some time pet laboured under mental delusion, and, perhaps, when all things are known, it may b% deemed fortunate that a more sangui nary result has not taken place. At one time he was jealous that a cambial understanding existed between his wife and a young nun wh , boarded with them. Afterwards be imagined that his vitt and the young man's brother were endeavouring to cut his lift ikon by 'Wring with Ills food materials of a peculiarly exciting and stinisliting quality. In some rinse that delusion passed away, but another assumed its place. He now became religious, read mock studied much, gave himself to contemplation and silence.— Noe, he imagined he was influenced by witchcraft; that the lather of the child which he had murdered, and her kindred, ranched that power over him ; and that he could not deliver him. Nit without shedding the blood of some one .conneeted with her: Ali t►us her innocent offspring has fallen a victim to the dark ken Dings of a disordered mind. When the neighbours entered the house, be sat upon a chair, in the murdered child, drenched in blood, was lying at his feet.— lb looked ups it calmly and unmoved. lie said, the seed of that did had troubled him many years. Heavy Howarth is shoat forty-three years of age.

COURT OP CHANCERY, August 4. tie RR THORNLIKE, A lAWERUPT. Mr. Momtacr appeared on a petition precebted by one of the assignees of his bankrupt, praying the peg. mission of the Court that he might be discharged Loam the office of assignee, and permitted to bid for fist eivity of redemption is certain property -of the bankrupt's about to be sold, and of which he (the assignee) was already the mortgagee. Mr. Roots, for the other assignees, who had ►een served with notice of this petition, did not object to this application, but doubted whether the Court could relax the rule which had been held to prevail respecting bank rupts assignees. The LORD CHANCELLOR was not clear that the peti tion could be granted. The Court had laid down a rule that neither solicitors, nor commissioners, nor as signees of bankrupts, could be permitted to purchase any of their effects. The reason for this rule was every spend sod good one. The persons thee prohibited might, by their situations, become possessed of knowledge re specting the bankrupt's affairs which no one else could obtain, and thus they might be enabled to make bar gains highly advantageous to themselves, and propor tionably injurious to the creditors; He did not see why the petitioner, being mortgagee, should therefore be placed in a better situation than any other assignee. Mr. MONTAGU said, that in this instance the assig nee offered to divest himself of the fiduciary situation in which he had been placed by the election of the cre ditors. _ _ The LORD CHANCILLOR observed, that bees:mid not divest himself of the knowledge he might have ob tained. After some further discussion, it was arranged that the consent of the creditors should be first obtained, and the petitioner mentioned again osia future day. COMET AND OTHERS O. HARRIS AND OTHERS. Mr. Time appeared in support of the petition of Messrs. Willett, Harris, and Kemble, and Mr. Robert son, the receiver appointed by the Court, praying that a sum of 10,00 W. which had been paid into the hands of the Accountant General, should be paid out of Court. The sum was one alleged to have been impro. perly paid by the receiver, on account of expenses in curred in repairing the theatre. On the part of the petitioners it was contended that the payments had been made necessarily ; and that if they had not been made, the theatre could not have been opened. Mr. HZALD was heard on the same side, and Mr. SHADWILL opposed the motion. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he was obliged to rise at half-past three, and the remainder of the argument was postponed until Monday. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, MGM 4. CISILDI v. KAYE. Mr. Hostas, for the plaintiff, applied for an injunc tion under the following circumstances. The plaintiff, Mr. William Childe, in conjunction with some other persons, entered in the year 1818 into a certain specu lation, and they assumed the title of the Cliffdown Min ing Company. The shares of the Company were to be 8,200. Some time after the formation of the Company, Mr. Childe and the other Directors executed a power of attorney, by which they enabled the clerk of the Company (Mr. Henry Clark) to draw for such sums of money for the use of the Company as any three of the Directors might think proper to authorize ; and in Yip tue of the said power of attorney several sums had been drawn for, and paid out of the funds of the Company. The name of the plaintiff, with those of two other of the Directors, appeared as authorizing and approving the said draughts. In the year 1820, the plaintiff sold out all the shares he possessed in the Company, and ceased of course to be a Director. He informed the defendants glwere the bankers of the Company, by letter, that ees no longer a Director of the Company, and that they were no longer to consider him liable to them, un der the power of attorney, for any debts of the Com pany. At the time of the sending this letter the plain tiff alleged, and the defendants admitted, that the ba lance due from the Company to the bankers was only 1201. This balance had afterwards been diitharged out of other funds of the Company paid into the banker's; bat there was now doe to the old firm of Kaye and Co. and to the dew firm which had been lately formed un der the same name, a sum amounting to no less than 3,5001. For that sum the defendants now sought to make the plaintiff liable, and the plaintiff therefore filed the present bill, by which he prayed that the defendants , might be restrained from bringing any action or actions at law against him on account of his connexion with the Cliffdown Mining Company; that he might be declared not to be liable for any debts due or expenses incurred by the said Company, or otherwise than as an original Director ; that if is appeared that he was in any way liable for such debts and expenses, he might be indem nified, according to the deed of settlement, out of the effects of the said Company ; and that, for such pur pose, the defendants and trustees might be compelled to render bim an account of all receipts and assets in their hands. The Learned Counsel contended it was clear that the power of attorney had been equitably, if not legally, revoked by the letter whtch the plaintiff had sent to the defendants. It was not pretended that any of the shareholders were liable, but merely the Direc tors; and he believed that the- simple point in the pre ' sent case was, whether the plaintiff had any equity, or whether the whole question must be determined at law? The Vrtz-Coatucacton said, that was exactly what he wished to arrive at—whether the plaintiff had any equity ? Mr. REAM said that would appear from the terms of the deed of settlement. By that deed it was agreed that the sums accruing from the shares should stand at the banker's in the names of the Directors in the usual man ner; that the accounts should be settled every half year; and that if by death or resignation the number of the Directors should ever be reduced to seven, others should be appointed in their place. By another, the 58th ar ticle, it was agreed that the Directors should be held harmless for all costs and charges to which they might be put in managing the affairs of the Company. By 'his art•cle, therefore, supposing even that the power of attorney was not legally revoked, the plaintiff must be held harmless out of the funds of the Company, of which ' he (Mr. Heald) understood there were plenty ; or, if ' not, that the other Directors ought to be bound to make their contributions towards defraying the claim of the I defendants. The Learned Counsel then read two letters which had been addressed to the defendants—one from the plaintiff, revok•ng the power of attorney; and , another from the Directors of the Company, init.rming . them of the resignation of Mt. Childe and another ; of the appointment of two others, Messrs. Gill and Law. rence, in their places ; and begging their attention to a che signatures of these two Gentlemen. After observing that monies had subsequently been paid. tusder the sig nature of these two Gentlemen, Mr. Heskisepeated that he was doubtful whether this application ought to have been made. or whether a Court of Law was the proper place in which the question should be tried. His client, hdnever, had been advised to come there, in order that [ [ if he should be beaten at law, and then come to a Coors l of Equity for relief, he might not be turned round by it being asked, why he did not apply to a Court of Equity at first. 1 The Vice CHANCILLOR saw no reason why the plain. tiff should come to that Court. If he saw any plain ground for liability on the part of the plaintiff in a Court of Law, he might decide otherwise. Mr. Hearn—Then your Honour does not think that we ought to be relieved here? The Vice CHANCILLOR said it was not for him to confound the legal distinctions that prevailed between Courts of Law and Courts of Equity; but he thought that this injunction could not stand. If he appointed a servant to pay money for him, and then told the parties by letter that the servant was no longer authorised by him so to do, he did not see what remedy any one could have against him for any transactions• of the servant subsequent to such notice. _ _ Mr: litALD—Then the case is dismissed? Mr. SUODEN—And with costs? The Vice CHANCILLOR—.NO, not with costs. Mr. SiODZW—As they have got an opinion from your Honour, I think they ought to pay for it. The Vice CHANCELLOR observed, that it was not usual to give costs in such cases, and directed that the costs should stand as costs in the cause. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. CHELMSFORD, Aims: 2. PALMER, CLERK, v. MAY. This was an action by a clergyman, for defamatory words, imputing to him that he had done that for which he ought to had the gown taken from his back.—Plea, the general issue. The plaintiff was rector of Pelden, in this county, and the defendant had been churchwarden of the same parish. A vestry meeting having been called to inspect the defendant's accounts, at which the plaintiff presided, the !situ called upon the former to swear to his ac counts. The defendant said, he was not prepared to swear to them, inasmuch as they were not then balanced, there being many items which he could not then make up. The piaintiff told him, in an authoritative toae, that he must swear to them, and that if he did nor, his conduct should be reported to the Archdeacon. The defendant became angry at this observation, and said, he did not mind going before the Archdeacon ; that he could say as much of the plaintiff as the plaintiff could say of him ; and that he had that at home, which would take the plaintiff's gown off his back. This was said in a great passion. Angry discussion ensued, and much confusion took place. Another of the parish .officers offered to fight the defendant. In his way home, the defendant repeated the same words concerning the plaintiff which he had said in vestry. The defendant, who had a wife and large family, was now confined in the county gaol for debt, at the suit .f the plaintiff, as was suggested. Mr. ADOLPRUS went to the Jury, with strong obser vations on the conduct of the plaintiff. The Learned AMOR said, that if the words complained of had not been deliberately repeated by the defendant on his way home from the vestry, he should not have allowed the case to go to the Jury ; but it was for them to say what damages they would give under the cir-. cumstances. The Jury found for the farthing. PILIEOW W. JINX, CLINK. This was an action against a clergyman for a libel, imputing to the plaintiff that she had feloniously stolen a Testament. The defendant pleaded, first, not guilty ; and second, a justification of the truth of the alleged libel. The plaintiff had been, for many years, mistress of a Sunday schooVin the parish of Kirby, and by the per mission of the subscribers she was allowed to keep a day-school on her own account in the vestry-room of the church. About two years since, the defendant be came curate of the parish, and soon afterwards took some exception to the plaintiff's conduct. and objected to her continuing any longer mistress of the Sunday school. Some of the subscribers, however, wishing the plaintiff to retain her situation, another Sunday school was established under the defendant's superintendence. The new school was held in the vestry, and the plain. tiff was excluded from the room on Sundays. She con ducted her Sunday school in a room hired for the pur pose, but was allowed the use of the vestry for her week day school In the course of last year the defendant presented to the Sunday school, of which he was the founder, two New Testaments, and wrote his name in them. On Sunday, the 17th of December last, one of, the Testaments was missing ; and inquiry being made upon the subject, a little boy, named Grimwood, who was one of the plaintiff's day-scholars, said he knew where it was, for he had seen the plaintiff scratch out the defendant's name, and lock the hookup in her desk. The master of the defendant's Sunday school told hint that it he would bring him the book be would give him a penny. In a few days afterwards the boy obtained possession of the book, gave it to the master, and got the. promised reward. These facia were communicated to the defendant, who thereupon wrote a letter, addressed to the committee of the vestry, by whom it was publicly read. The letter charged the plaintiff with taking and converting to her own use, not only the book in ques tion, but three other books belonging to the defendant's Sunday school, which he said were found in her draw ers. It went on to state that she had displayed a general laxity of principle, and therefore that she and her friends must not consider that she was harshly treated in being denied the use of the vestry room for her day school. In consequence of this letter, the plaintiff was sent for to the vestry, and she immediately denied the imputations it contained. Three of the vestry then called upon the defendant. and told him they did not believe that the plaintiff was guilty of the offence im puted to her ; and one of them suggested that the par ties should be brought face to face, and an investigation take place. The d lenient replied, that he would never meet the plaintiff till GOD had changed her heart.— The matter was afterwards investigated by Mr. Leake, Megawatt.. The boy above mentioned then denied that he had ever said he bad seen the plaintiff scratch the defendant's name out t.f the book. The Magistrate being satisfied that the charge was groundless, wrote a letter to that effect to the plaintiff's ft iends. This letter 'they took to the defendant, who read a few lanes and brew it down, refusing to read any more. One of the Gentlemen then read the wi ole of the letter to him.— The defendant became extremely angry, when one of them reminded him that be had I fetidly; and that hf ought to shear some tenderness towards hts neighbours. It was contended on the part of the defendaht, rhat the letter in question was a privileged communication; and only Conveyed in temperate leaguage,the facts of which he had been informed. In support of the plea uffpaitification, the boy Orimwood deposed, that he bad seen the plaintiff scratch the writing out of the Testa ment with a knife, rub it with India rubber, and theft lock it in her desk. On his cross-examination, ha said; he did not recollect what he had stated to Mr. Utile, the Magistrate; but he admitted that he had spoken the truth on that minion. The case went to the Jury nuclei the Learned Judge's directions, and they found their verdict for the plaintiff. —Damages $Ol. AVOCET 4. CIVIL 111011.-6.7111 Liscrtu ?ROMA& Larch. This was an indictment against an Excise Officer lot wilful and corrupt perjury, assigned upon evidence given by him in support of an information before twd Justices, for penalties alleged to have been forfeited by a publican named Stock, under the Excise Laws. The case was summed up to the Jury, and it was left to them to determine whether the defendant had swan under sr mistake, or knowingly falsely and corruptly. The Jury retired for a considerable length of time, and found the defendant Guilty. The business on the Crown Side finished this after• noon about two o'clock.

Caowir Sam—Before Mr. Joidee flociarrs. George Mirky, Jame: Johnson, and Sawed Norrh o labourers, were indicted for feloniously killing and slay. ing William Stephens, by stabbing him with a pin. The first witness called was Mr. Boot. a surgeon, who stated that he had examined the body of the de. ceased, and found several small punctures in his left leg, which, however, had not penetrated below the skin. The muscles were untouched. 'There was no Inflammation in that part of the leg where the punctures were, but there was in other parts of the body. parti cularly the liver and the other principal organs. Ue• der these circumstances, he was of opinion that the deceased died a natural death. The Learned JUDGE thought it unnecessary to pro• teed any farther with the investigation, and the de. fendants were acquitted. . We understood that the circumstances from whigb th?t prosecution originated were theset. , .."The deceased was lying, in a state of intoxication at a public-honk I called the Magpie, in this city,,and the defendants who were drinking there, amused themselves by prick. iog him in the leg with a pin, which was fastened in the end of a stick. The deceased was at length car• tied up to bed, and the neat morning he was unable to move his leg, which was in a state of inflammation.-.• He grew rapidly worse, his whole system being discus• ed, and died in a few days. An Inquest being held on the body, the Jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter against the prisoners. They were acquitted on the Coroner's inquisition as well as on the indictment. COUNTY COVET.

George Clarkson. of Northfield, in the parish of Bowes, a farmer, aged 25, was indicted for the wilful murder of an infant, the illegitimate child of Anne Ha milton, by administering to it arsenic,' mixed in gin and water, in the month of May last. The child was 20 days old when it died. There were several counts in the indictment ; some of them stated the child's name to be J4mes, and others called him George. There was another indictment against the prisoner for the wilful murder of another illegitimate child of the same Anne Hamilton, of the name of William.
