HIGH COURT' cwii 'LCIARY. EDINBURG Jams 18. SPRING Geas.—This day James Crew, gamekeeper to the Earl of Home, was placed at the Bar. The ! Court, consisting of the LORD JUSTICE CLERK, Lord Gliwice, Lord PITKILLY,Lord MACKENZIE, and Lord HALLOWAY, gave thlfir decision as to the relevancy of the indictment ; which was argued by the SOLICITOR GINERAL on the part of the Crown, and by Mr.Jerrases and Mr.' COCKBURN for the prisoner, on the 6th instant. Their Lordships delivered their opinions at considerable length, and their unanim us decision was—That the act of setting spring guns, or other engines of a deadly n Imre. wa; illegal, and that as no man could do that indirectly against the life of another which it was not by law allowed to him to do by direct means, the present indictment was relevant to go to a Jury. Mary Ams Alcorn was put to the bar, on a charge of administering poison, on the 18th of April, to Mr.J. B. Roache and Mrs. Roache, residing in Portobello, with intent to commit murder, or to do them some grievous bodily harm, by mixing with the gravy of meat, a quan tity of tartar emetic, or powder of antimony, or other deleterious drug or liquid, to the prosecutor unknown. The panel pleaded not guilty. Mrs.Roache was the first witness called. She deponed -1 live at Portobello. The panel was a servant in my family in April last. Mr. Roadie and I were taken ill on the 18th April. Mat y Alcorn was the only servant in the family, and had the charge of cooking the victuals.- 1 gave her, on the 18th of April, a piece of beef to be cooked, part of which beef bad been previously partaken of by the family without being followed by any bad con sequences. Mary carried the beef to a baker's to be cooked, and also brought it back. I observed, when it was placed on the table, that the gravy had a white appear ante. I did not eat much ; Mr. Roache, however, made a hearty meal. He poured part of the .gravy upon a rice pudding, and eat it. I was taken ill in about half an hour after dinner, became sick, and felt great pains in the stomach, with swelling, and my extremities were cold ; Mr. Roache became ill a little later in the even ing. the symptoms being more violent upon him. I suffered great pain, and was ill all Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Was attended by Dr. Thompson of Por tobello ; I asked the panel if she had put any thing on the meat. She said she had not; but subsequently ad m tted shelled put a little powder on the potatoes under the beef, stating that she did it only for a a bit of fun." An officer afterwards came to the house, when she gave a more detailed account of the matter. She said she got the powder from Margaret Paterson, Dr. Valance's servant, who told her that it would do no other harm than to make us a little sick, and she might take a part of it herself. She siid that the powder had been in her possession for a month, but she was always afraid to use it; that she did not put in a tea-spoonful—just a large snuff; the remainder was thrown into the fire.— Mr. Roache and witness were previously in good health. Mr..l. B. Roache gave a similar account of the trans action with his wife. He said—l took a hearty dinner of the meat, and washed it down with a glass of strong whisky grog. Was taken ill about four o'clock, and felt a swelling about the stomach; at six took another gl iss a grog and a walk in the garden. At eight I sti:l felt ill and had some coffee, after which I becathe worse, and have not yet, and am afraid never shall get the better of the dose; about midnight still felt unwell; and took a glass of brandy and peppermint. I then turned giddy and fell across a table, being just able to say, " Lord have mercy on me." At three o'clock its the morning I swallowed three of Anderson's pills, washing them down with a glass of grog. Was at tended by Dr. Thomson. Dr. Thomson, of Portobello, described the condition of his patients. He considered Mr. Roache as not very ill, yet not out of danger; nor was he out of danger till the Sunday. Considered the poison as a prepara tion of lead rather than tartar emetic or powder of antimony. Professor Christison had heard the symptoms de• scribed, but could only give a conjectural opinion as to w hat the poison might be. He first conjectured that it had been tartar emetic ; but two circumstances led him to doubt that—first, the lime it operated; and secondly, that the effect of taking coffee was to make Mr. Roache worse when it ought to have relieved him. All the symptoms, indeed, might have been produced by natu ral disease; but he was led to conclude poison had been administered from the circumstance of two persons being taken ill at the same time, e id) similar symptoms, within the period in which poison generally acts, and affected proportionally to the quantity of the substance stated to have been taken lb y cads. Under these cir cumstances, the impression Om poison had been admi nistered amounted to a probability neat to a certainty ; but he could form no opinion of what kind of poison it was which had been administered. The girl's declarations were :earl, in which she ac• knowledged putting a powder into the gravy, and stated that she did so at the suggestion r f Margaret Paterson, who gave her the drug, assuring her, at the same time, that it would do no harm beyond making the parties sick ; that she took part of the meat herself, and suffered in the same manner as her master and mistress. Mr. ADAM addressed the Jury, and gave up the first allegation of adn,ini:tering poison with intent to com mit murder, confining his observations to the charge of giving a deleterious mixture with an intent to do serious bodily. injury. He said it could not by possibility bake been proved tbat any other individual was impli cated in this foul transaction; the public prosecutor would assuredly have endeavoured to have brought that pencil to trial. Mr. LESLIE MELVILLE, for the panel, expressed ber sorrow at what had happened, but stated that she had no intention to do them serious bodily injury. The panel was a poor girl, of 16 years of age, who admitted, and had done so from the beginning, the putting the powder into the gravy; and the question for the Jury to try was, had she put that substance there with a ma ficious and felonious intention? He contended she had not, and the only evidence on this point was that of her master and mistress, bosh of whom had described her as a good girl, who they did not believe had any design to du them great injury. He ci aved a verdict of Not Proven ; or, at all events, thAt the Jury, i they con •icted, ►liould accompany their verdict with a recom mendation to mercy. _ _ The evidtnce having bren summed up by the LORD JUSTICE CLERK. the Jury. after a tee m:nutr',' consul• titian, f. and the panel Gailly of athntvibtzting an in jurious substance to Mr. autl Mrs. It ache. a, libellvd; but, on account of her previous good character, recom• I mended her to the leniency of the Court. She was sentenced to twelve months' confinement in Blidesell, and to be kept at hard labour. The panel is a poor artless-looking girl. She seemed to feel her situation, and shook dreadfully when she heard ber punishmetl announced. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING-ROO:4, TATTERSALL'S, June 21.

UPROAR AMONG THE FANCY, AT Tilt TUNIS COURT. Yesterday Big Brown, of Bridgenorth, who has furnished so much talk of late to the sporting world, had his Court-day, and there was a better attendance of company than has been for some time past. The day was fraught with novelty of incident. In the first place, many of the pugilists were of opinion that Brown was not entitled to their support, they would only set-to on condition of being paid. Old Col. Lennox and his subaltern Clark, as usual, opened the sports. Murphy and the Wool Baker fought their battle over again. Murphy improves rapidly. Gidgeon (Ramey Aaron's Russian Jew) and Donovan.—The foreigner was most impetuous, but he soon wore himself our, and was thrown. He came forwar d stated, that be was a" Rushing" Jew (which, by the bye, wu evident from his sparring), and was ready to make a match with any man of his weight for £lO or £2O. There were no takers. Scroggins capered to Dick Ayres a little; but Dick took rather more pains with it than Scroggy fancied, and he soon left off to look after the "browns." Cassels had Young Spring to twist himself to him. Cassels is the most likely one that has tried to meet the flexible balance-master— but when Bob began to work hard, the spring went off. Stockman and Raines had an excellent set-to—by the bye, Harry Jones ought to mind his points. Stockman sheaved himself no joker. Bill Sivage and Tomßeddie had a slashing sex to. Young Molineux and Joe Fisher mounted. /Racket rushed to the prey like a lion, and bored in with his superior strength upon the Fisherman." He promised to be a black day'a work towns, one. In close fighting be beats away rarely at the Victualling office, and his strength, although clumsily applied, appears " pro digious." Young Richmond and Burgess---Richmond made this set-to vastly amusing; in capering, dancing, attitude, and grimace, he leaves Jack Scroggins behind half a life-time; and his petite bow at the end of every bout elicited so much applause as to tickle the conceit of Massa so, that when Burgess left the stage, the man of colour insisted upon meeting another customer, and was removed only by the fair persuasion of the Master of the Ceremonies. Tom Bekher and Harry Harmer gave a friendly taste of science in its pure state, and were much applauded. Young Molineux appeared, and said, he was ready to spar with " Big Massa Brown. The announcement was received with ac clamations, and Blackee waited for his man with no small portion of pomposity. Immediately Brown made his bow, and was warmly greeted with plaudits ; but he was followed by Hill Elks, and the set-to was announced " Big Brown and Bill &ales." Here began, to use the words of a bye-grander, " a gallows row," and a confusion of tongues. Cries, of " Rale., off, of—Macke, and Brown, and shirts off" Blackee immediately peeled and sported his chest of ebony; he was then induced to leave the stage, and Roles was making ready ; but the next minute p ted Molineus again as a candidate for Brown's favours, Josh Hudson insisting that he should meet the hero of Bcidgenorth. Brown refused to set-to wish him. Tom Belcher endeavoured to get a hearing, but found it impos sible. RAN kept off, and on alternately trying to please every body, calls of different descriptions were mingled with cheers and groans, and the Court was quite uproarious. Ben Burn appeared and stripped his coat to have the tarn wit► Brown, ►ut he still declined any one but Hales. In the middle of this mess, Reuben Martin mounted, and he too doffed for Brown, and on being refused, offered to fight him for 101. Brown said be would fight him for 2001. but such was the noise in the Court, that it was impossible to hear distinctly what passed. Poor Brown stood pent up in a corner amidst the storm of tongues, with four candidates contending for a turn with him, and at length he left the stage, amidst a fresh volley of groaning and cheering. Bill Bales and Tom Belcher tried to make a wind op. But the people would not leave until Brown should appear, and set-to. In vain did Mr. Jackson reason on the impropriety of harassing the men—he could not stop the calling for Brown. Gas then mounted to have a shy at Molinari, and a few sharp bouts they had; again did the Black's strength show off amazingly, but he did not like Gas . jobbing, so he soon gave up. The cries of •• Crown, Brown," were renewed with fresh vigour, and the audience seemed determined to stand fast. A Gentleman amateur mounted, and stated that Brown was desirous to have a hearing to thank them, and speak regarding his match with Ward. That he had come there to spar and nut to fight, and he thought it unfair that he should be bated with four men; when, accordiug to arrangement and usage, one good scienced man had been presented to them with hint. Brown re-appeared, and repeated what the Gentleman had stated, and said that under the circumstances be could not think of setting-to. As to his match with Ward, he could come to no other terms than to fight him for 2004 on a stage and 3001. on the turf, but he would nowise alter these terms. Rueben Martin aid, he waa ready to stake 251. to-nlght for Ward, if 2001. on the turf would satisfy hlm This Brown refused ; but stated, that he would be in town until Tuesday next, and would be ready to stake en the terms he bad mentioned. lie left the stage again amidst the same confusion, shouting, and groaning, and thus ended the row at nearly six o'clock.

Yesterday, J. ifelbuns,;;; str;;;;;;, was charged with steal ing a donkey, which he was offering for sale in Smithfield: it bad been stolen from Tewing, Herts ; and the prisoner proved he pur chased it fairly at Romtord. Some demur to suffering hint to prove this was raised on a former day, by Alderman AWNS, and now by Alderman THORP/I,OM the ground that it was not the pro vince of a Justice, but a Jury, to try a ease: be, however, was allowed to go on, and was dismissed on his own recognizance. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday, C. Sheppard, thirteen years of age, who was released from this office last Saturday, laving been detained for a felony, was yesterday again brought up, on a charge of having stolen a ream of paper from the shop of Messrs. Adams and Goad, In the Strand; but t►e prosecutors refusing to attend, he was committed to the Tread-mill for one month, as a reputed thief. TOWN HALL. . Yesterday a poor girl presented herself among the paupers to the notice et the iSlagistrate, weeping, and said she had only been two days from Bristol, which she left on the death of her mother, alter pledging the little stock of btr clothes to pay her journey up, in tht topes of finding her sister, who Wa4 in the service ot a family in Btnnswick-square two years since, but learnt she had quitted that service, and the family could give her no information. She had in consequence wandered through the streets ever same, with out food or rest, except at the steps of doors; and added, , he sri.bed she was in her grave. The Alderman and all present were affected at the expressed misery of this poor girl. The Magistrate ordered her 2s. from the ;silks box, to which the beadle ot St. John's added two more tiont'his owu pocket. LAW INTELLI6 ENCE.

The defendant, a Ca, rain in the army, was convicted at the last Assizes for the county of Dorset, upon an in. dictment, for a riot during the late Election for the Borough of Weymouth, when acts of considerable vio lence were committed by the multitude assembled on that occasion. On the motion of Mr. Etuntnts, the defendant was now brought up for judgment. Affidavits were put in on both sides. Those for the defendant represented him to be a Gentleman of great respectability, of quiet arid inoffensive habits, and to have been betrayed into the offence in question without any previotis concert or privity with the persons who con stituted the tumultuous assembly on the occasi• , n in que.tion. Those for the prosecution tended to shew that the riot in question was of a most dangerous cha racter, subversive and obstructive of the duties of the Mayor as Returning Officer for the Borough. Mr. ERSEINS and Mr. FRASaR addressed the Court in mitigation of punishment, urging the deep regret of .he defendant that he had been betrayed, in the excite ment of an election contest, into conduct, which, upon reflection, he felt was not at all justifiable. Mr. C. F. WILLIAMS spoke in aggravation of punish ment. The COURT ordered the defendant to be brougt up to receive the judgment of the Court on Monday next, and that he should in the mean time be committed to the custody of the Marshal. THE KING V. RANSDEN, DEEDES, AND EDEN. These defendants were convicted at the last Sussex Assizes of an assault upon Mr. Barrow, an attorney, of Brighton. The defendants, who were young men of fashion, had taken the part of two women, who had taken up their abode next door to the residence of Mr. Bar row, and had annoyed him and his family. On the occasion in question the defendants had applied the most opprobrious epithets to Mr. and Mrs. Barrow. Mr. LONG (with whom were Mr. ADOLPHUS and Mr. G. F. Jonas) now stated, on behalf of the defendants., their readiness to make the most ample apology to Mr. Barrow. They expressed their deepest regret for the use of the improper expressions they had applied to Mr. and Mrs. Barrow, which expressions escaped them in the irritation of the moment, and without meaning se riously to impute the crimes which those expressions in common language would import. With this apology he believed Mr. Barrow would be content, and would be willing to forego all further proceedings against the defendants, not only in this case, but in all other pro ceedings at law and in the Consistorial Court. Mr. Aznaaws appeared on the part of the prosecu tor, and expressed his readiness to accept the apology now offered, though late, and said he should not press for judgment. The Couax said that the defendants had acted most wisely in the course they had now adopted, and ordered them to be discharged on their personal recognizance: to be of good behaviour. THE WINO V. THE JUSTICES OF SURREY. Mr. BARISSWALL obtained a Rule Nisi last Term, for a Certiorari to return into this Court an order of Sessions, confirming a rate made by the Trustees for erecting new Churches, under the statute 1 Geo. IV. to cover certain expenses in the erection of new Churches in the parish of St. Mary, Newington. The objr ct of bringing the Order was to determine the right of the Trustees to allow peals of bells to be rung in the new Churches, and to pay salaries to bell-ringers, beadles, and organists. The SOLICITOR.GENERAL and Mr. MANOLES took a preliminary objection, that the Writ of Certiorori was taken away by the Act, and, therefore, the Order could not be removed. After hearing the ATTORNEY-G=IIIAL and Mr. BARNIWALL in support of the Rule, The Count. were of opinion, upon the construction of the Appeal Clause, that the Certiorari was taken away, and, therefore, discharged the Rule. The COURT announced that they would take the New Trial Paper to•morrow and Saturday, instead of the Special and Crown Papers. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNI 21. HAMMETT V. KRENIER. Mr. Sergeant ADAMS moved, in this case, to obtain a rule to chew cause, why it should not be referred to the Prothonotary of this Court, why the Sheriff's Amor. ney, a Mr. Badeley, should not answer the matters in an affidavit imputing improper conduct to him; and why, during the present Term, all proceedings should not be stayed. This application was made on two affidavits, the one by a person named Lewis Levy, and the other 'by the defendant; in which it was sworn, that the de fendant having incurred a debt with Badeley for costs,he had given two bills, one of which he had not paid when it became due. This Bill, as Badeley said, was in the hands of Hammett, in whose name an action was brought to recover the amount. In this action, Badeley was the attorney for Hammett; but the deponents stated, that they had reason to believe that Hammett was only a fictitious person, and that Badeley was the real plaintiff in the action, the bill never having gone OM of Badeley's hands; and when dishur:oured, was noted by his notary and returned to him. The affidavits' also stated, that Badeley was in the habit of discounting small bills, which, if not paid when due, be immediately sued the parties, and ran them to an expense of 50, and sometimes 75 per cent. It was also sworn, that no bill of costs could be obtained from Badeley when applied for ; and Badeley had been heard to say, that Kennier's small bills were as good as a premium to him.l The LORD CIIIE7 JUSTICE said, that if an attorney of the Court got bills into his possession for the purpose of discounting them, he was guilty of a gross abuse of his office; and it such a charge could be proved against him, he would be punished for it. The affidavits, how ever, upon which Mr. Sergeant Adams .liad moved, were not sufficiently strong for the Court to act upon, they only stated what the several deponents had heard. the Court were also of opinion that an attorney should not be called on to answer the miters of an affidavit on any slight grounds, and they therelnie thought it would be better that the Learned Sergeant should so shape his application, that the case should go before the Prothonotary. Mr. Sergeaut Autors acceded to the sogscztion of the Court. and espiesseci his de.irrthat•the nutter shuslit be investigated by the Piono chi:vary. • DIXON V. antrrcevroatie.

Witnesses were called, and Mr. Sergeant LAWS Eally admitted that 'a satisfactory t i tle could not be given; and, under the direction of the Court, the Jury gen d verdict for the plaintiff for 8501. COURT OF RXCHRQURR, Jove 21. WIntIGIALL v. Tilt LIATHERSZLLCRS CA/PANT. This was a suit instituted by the plaintiff, who is inr4 propriate Rector of the parish of St. Helen's, Swop, : gate, to recover tithes, at the rate of 2s. 9d. in the pound, upon the rent of the premi ses o f t h e L eat hersellers Company. The claim was ma.'e uncer a Statute of Henry VIII. and the defendants pleaded, first, a casts mary payment in the nature of a modus, and, secondly, ' that the decree by which the particular tithes in ques. tion were granted away, after the dissolution of the monasteries, was not enrolled as was specifically directed by the Statute of Henry VIII. Mr. BICIMUITint, for the defendants, observed, in the course of bis address, that it having been customary before the Reformation, for the people to pay certain fees to the Clergy, on the festival of a Saint, Arch bishop Arundel, upon one occasion, introduced twe and twenty new Saints into the calendar all at cu e , an d that, from that day to the present, there had never been any tranquillity in the City upon the subject of tither. The case, which was part heard before, occupied the whole of yesterday, and was adjourned for further bear ing to Wednesday next. COURT OF CON ORURO ATES, Jon 21. WESTMEATH AGAINST WESTMEATH. This is an appeal by the Marquis of West=Ath against the sentence of the Arches Court, by which the sentence pronounced in the Cohbistory Court, in favour of the Marquis, was reversed. _ _ _ The Proctor for the Marchioness of Westmeath, the respondent, applied to the Court to have the costs in. curred in the Court below taxed as against the hurbaarl, in order to enable her Ladyship to carry on her defence. Dr. JENNRR and Dr. PHILLIMORI, on behalf of the appellant, objected to the motion. This Court could not direct the taxation of costs in the Court below; the payment of colts formed part of the sentence, which this Court could not decide by piecemeal. The respondent was entitled to ask for her costs, de die in diem, in this Court; and it would be competent for the appellants object to their payment, if he thought proper. The COURT were of this opinion, and rettheJ to en. terrain the motion. The Proctor for the respondent then prayed tatition of costs in the present appeal.- The Proctor for the appellant opposed the applico tion, and prayed to be heard on his petition. The COURT ordered accordingly. This incidental point remains, therefore, to be tbscussed. 3RISCO V. !IRMO. The Proctor for Lady Brisco, after stating that Sir Wastel Brisco had not obeyed the order of the Ci - .tut respecting the payment of costs, gave notice, tl.at it the order was not obeyed by next Court day, he should move that Sir Wastel be pronounced in contempt. Dr. Las, who was one .if the delegates, sai i, f shit not agree to this; I think there have been sucl. im e roper delays on the part of the Counsel for Lady Brisco, Dr. Arnold, and Dr. Jenner, that I will not confirm the sentence. I mean there have been improper delays asd expenses subsequent to the formation of the adjact commission. This case has been a scandalous one. Dr. Dll7lloll' (the President)—The point referred to by Dr. Lee has been settled by the High Court of Dc legates. Dr. Lett I di lissent from the judgment of that Court. I repeat— Dr. DAURNY—CaII another cause.
