Before Mr. Baron VAUGHAN. : Philip Gale was indicted for burglationsly breaking and entering the dwelling house of William James, at Lambeth, and stealing from thence a quantity of tools, •sumbs, and a canvass bag. containing 61. 65.6 d. Mr. A. Dowmaa conducted the prosecution. The case was this. The prosecutor is a combmaker, living at Lambeth; the prisoner is his j nrneyman ; on site slight of the llth of December, the prosecutor was the last person who retired to rest in the house, and at that time he saw that the back door and front window •were perfectly secure ; the next morning he perceived .11141 some person had forced an entrance into the house :by break•ng away the bolts of the shutter, and removed the property above mentioned. As he suspected the prisoner, he went immediately to his lodgings, and there lie found a loge quantity of tools and combs, and also the canvass bag containing 61. Gs. 6d. An officer was immediately sent for, aid the prisoner apprehended. Hr then spontaneously confessed that he had stolen the property frond iu his lodgings from his master, and that he w as the person who had obtained admission into the house. ht f acing the shutter. The prosecutor now identified the property. The Jury r.turned a verdict of Gat*, without any besitatorn. MI Bar oh VAUGH 4n told the prisoner, that .dthough he shy = u?J recommend his life to be spared, yet be mu•t expect tore transported tor life. Jelar Jatdene was pliced at the bar under a charge of felon•ously and maliciously administering to Mary Jardine. • his *ire, a deadly poison, called arsenic, with intent t•r kill arid murder hi r, at Nets ington. • Alt Law, on the part of the prosecution, stated the case to the Jury. The present was an indictment . founded on e s saute passed in the reign of his present Maje-ty—the 9 Geo. IV. c. 31, s. 11. That Statute re peated a former one—the 43 Geo. 111. c. 53. but the provisions were substantially the same. By the Statute on 'which this proceeding was founded a provision was made, .. That if any person unlawfully and maliciously shad administer, or attempt to administer, to any person, or shall cause to be taken by any person, any poison or other destructive thing, with intent to murder such per . son, es ery such offender. and every person counselling. aiding, or abe thig suet offender, shall be guilty of felony, and being connected the. cot shall stiffer death as a felon." The Orono at the bar was formerly a bombardier, and for his tervices had received a pension. The wife. who was the subj- ct of the present indictment, and who would be called as a witness, had been married before she Lecarne connected with the prisoner.— Tne childrin alto were the fruits of the former mar. nage were, it was hair to tire prisoner to say, alaays trea ed a •th the ftlietly kindness.

She had scarcely got home when be resumed his id treatment ; la was to - - have altosied her two shillings arid sixpence per week for her support, but this wa. soon reduced to four pence -a day, and at last to two pence a day. The 11l fortunate woman being thus brought in danger of sus 'view, told 'her husband that unless he increased her allowance she .must have recnurse to a Magistrate. lie told her shr might go a hen she liked. She replied that she would go. Tile prisoner then rejoined the following remark able words—" Don't speak too fast, or I per.lap. you may not be able to go." This was on the sth October. On the morning of the 61h, about nine o'clock, she had prepared her breakfast as usual, and for some purpose left the room. When she returned she found the pri soner sta,iditig pith the lid of the kettle in his han,d, abutting it down. This dud not excite any suspicion in her mind, as he was in the habit of taking • ater from the • kettle fir the purpose of shaving. Without any hesitation • she poured the qustAity of water she wanted from the nettle into the Leap' t, and drank about a cup and a half of the tea thus made. In a few mtuutes she •tAt a very great hea in her stomach, accompanied with a seveie shooting pain. Her stomach became distended, • and she vomited - some of its contents. Doling this time the prisoner was walking up and down the room laugh ing at her. She at langtp became so ill that a medical man was sent for • • The prisoner bad previous to this \ - 4- pot on his bat with greatenconcern, nab& thellowei Mr. Boast, the surgawbeard the woman describohec symptoms, and thence he concluded that she must havet taken arsenic. He.made use of the stomach ponsp,and . the contents drawn out by that 'neaps showed his opinion well founded; in the stomach pump, and on the sides of the kettle whence the water in the teipot had been taken, nearly eight drachms of white arsenic. were found. By u remedies then applied any permanent injury to the woman was prevented ; the parish authorities inter. feted, and after an examination before a Magistrate, it was determined to apprehend the prisoner ; accordingly a constable was sent to the house of the prisoner, and the was taken ibto custody from his bed; he was after wards fully commi ted for trial. These were the facts he u.sclerstood he should be able to lay before tholes in evidence; and it would then be for the Jury to say what verdict they ought to find. Mrs. Jardine, the prosecntrix, and Harriett Show, the woman in whose house the prisoner sad his wife lived, were called, and substantiated the statement made by the Learned Couns.l. Mr. Boast, a surgeon, said, that he bad examined the prosecutrix, and fund that the symptoms described by her were such as led him to believe she was lobouring under the effects of arsenic. He submitted the contents of the stomach, and the tea-kettle, to two of the common tests, which convinced him that he had detected the presence of arsenic; and, last of all, had evaporated the water, and re-produced the metal. In the contents of the stomach were four or five grains of arsenic; two grains, in his opinion, would produce death. The witness Show was recalled, and she deposed that she bad used some of the water from the butt whence the water in the kettle had been drawn, and bad ex perienced no ill effects from it. _ _ Mr. ADOLPHUS, for the defence, cross. examined the witnesses with his usual ingenuity and acuteness. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN, after a very learned manilla tion . of the surgeon, on the chymical rests for the de tection of the presence of arsenic, and metallic poisons, inspired of the prisoner whether be wished to say any thing in his defence? The prisoner said be was quite innocent of the'ehargirt and that the whole was the result of a conspiracy. filr.Brron VAUGHAN then summed up. and observed to the Jury, that while they were bound to afford the evidence they hid beard I cartful and dispassionate es aminationcas it so seriously affected the prisoner, they would nr.t, on the other hand, forget the interests of public justice. The Learned Judge then, in the most i mpartial and succinct manner, compared the various facts proved in evidence, and weighed the probabilities in the most merciful manner, and finally left the case in the hands of the Jury, again reminding them of the so lemn nature of the duty they were called on to per form. The Jury, after retiring for about half an hour, re turned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner having been called up for judgment, Mr. Baron VAUGHAN, in a very feeling manner, ex horted the prisoner to prepare for the doom which in evitably awaited him. The gates of mercy in this world were for ever closed against him, and the grave was opening at his feet. He besought him, therefore, as soon as he left the Court, with bended knees and re• pentant heart, to pray for mercy from his offended GOD. His Lordship then pronounced the awful sentence of the law in the most impressive manner. The Jury and almost every one in Court were so much affected, as to shed tears during the adJtess of the Learned Judge. Before Mr. Justice Summon. John Doyle, a cooper's apprentice, was indicted for -tealing fourteen pawnbroker's duplicates of various amounts, and a waistcoat, the property of his master. The case was fully established against the prisoner; bet the Learned Judge told the Jury, that pawnbroker's duplicates were not such a security as could be made the subject of an indictment. and they must, therefore, confine their attention to the waistcoat. Groiley.--Sentenced to six months' imprisonment,with hard labour. Tbis decision with respect to pawnbroker's duplicates is new. In a case similar to this, two years ago, Mr. Justice PARE intimated an opinion that they did not come within the Statute ; but as the question was not necessarily rai.ed in the case, be declined giving a formal opinion. In the present case they were pro nounced, without qualification. not to be such " war rants for the delivery of goods" as could be proceeded criminally upon. Three young fellows, named Jarvis, Thule% and Keen, were indicted for stealing from the person of John Goldstone six sovereigns and some silver, on the ,19th December last. The prosecutor, who is a farmer, upon the day in question, having missed the coach, engaged a go-cart at the Elephant and Castle to take him to Norwood ; the prisoners were his fellow passengers: at setting out he had the money in his purse, but upon arriving at she place of his destination it was all gone. At the trial he swore positively that he felt the hand of some one or other of the prisoners in his waistcoat pocket, and that he distinctly felt a tugging at his watch chain. Upon cross-examination, however, he admitted that he .a as in such a state of intoxication as not to be able dis. tinctly to recollect what passed; and by other testi mony it appeared that it was likely be had been robbed befote he got into the cart. Mr. Justice BURROW:iII told the Ju•y that, under these circumstances, it was the safest course to acquit the prisoners ; and they were found Not Guilty .3c c.srdingly. Two boys having procured a boat for the purpose of "amusing tEemselres in sailing down the river Weaver, at Nordiwich, the current carried them in the direction of the Town Wear. Having by accider t lost the scul ling oar, and finding the boat was rapidly advancing tuwards the Wear-head, they both jumped•out into the water, in hopes of reaching the' shore by swimming. Ore succ-eded in making the land, but the other was catried by the stream over the Wear into the foaming water below, and every one gave him up for lost. In a short time he was seen struggling lower down the centre of the river, but although several good swimmers acre present, no one durst venture to his assistance, as the late heavy rains had not only swelled the river much above its usual height, but added to the rapidity of the stream in that direction; therefore his case was hopeless. At this critical moment, when every one was petrified with fear, a little beggar lad, not more than ten years 4 lege, ran up to the spot, and without speak ing, Car rIF bra rags, plunged into the water, and swim. ming within reach of the then drowning boy, seized hold oh the collar of his jacket, and with only one arm 'left to swim wit . h,btought his ptize safe to land, amidst 'the loud acclamations of the aux ous spectators, who had every moment t 'petted to see them go down to gether, as the boy sawed was not only quite exhausted, but much larger than the little mendicant who saved his lite.—L-Macckffic d Courier. 40.

Mr. Upsal related that the prisoner hail been in the habit of pledging articles of silver with him ('c the lest Agee years, and taking *le to be specimens of his ability, witness had considered him a most sniper or workman. A few days since, witness discovered that several ingots of silver (according to the tickets) which bid been pledged by the prisoner, had vesy materially altered in ap pearance, having become as white and shining as if they had been newly melted. and he soon satisfied himself that the pieces were not in fact of the description the prisoner had repeetanted. Vu Tuesday evening the prisoner brought another lump, and requested the loan of 11. Ss. upon it. Witness asked him if it was sterlinit silver, and Ise answered " Yes; just the same as the rest you have of mine." He was then requested to walk into the parlour, and an ace, being seat for, the prisoner became Atinned, awl can felted he had been imposing haw metal on him for silver, and in treated him to " behave like a tradesman," and settle the businefli with him quietly.

The labouring cual-meter desctibed that the rim of the measure was broken all round, and it would have been impossible to mea sure a full bogie' in suck an article. The defendant said that the measure had not been used before for the last two years, and was promiscuously flung into the wag gon by one of the porters. The measure in question, the drfen dant added, was generally used for the purpose of keeping ochre In, and that fact could be substantiated, the ochre still adhering to the sides and bottom of it. The Coal Meters Solicitor said. that if it was necessary he was in a situation to prove that cads had been measured by the same bushel, oo a previous eocaphe the same day.

The c.ep sitian of the decease.% taken befo r Mr. GaifFITII, the Magistrate, at the Mary-la-bottnt marl, was then read, which stated that .1.1,e had not known the pris• tier urea the previous Thur•day week, when she met him in Covent U r.;c:ll'..eatie; s' e met him by appointment the follow ing day, and again on the night the unfortutut e transaction took place, when he shank a considerable quantity of ale, and his appear. ance and behaviour were very wild and disordesly ; when she was sit .t she had hold of his tight arm, but she did not set the pistol, to r did she know who filed t; s'e did not even know the prisoner's name. This deposition was taken in presence if the prironer, who was dlea fully affected, and who said, " he feared lie had comm tied a terrible rniAake." Goodger, the :u geon who had examined the deceased when first taken to the Infirmary, said that lie ascertained that a piece of lead had petforced the upper lip, which had been the next morning eitracted ; hut he at the time feared that a dangerous supPuratine, if not a locked jaw, might follow in the course of the day. Notwithstanding every attention sets paid her, fever ensued, which was during the night such an extent, that it was deeeired rideis-loe to have ler:, deposition taken.
