Daley examined—Mrs. Mold in July lea west to Stafford:hire with me; lodgings wet.: taken, for her by a lady; Mr. biked has since tatidtal a; oar boom Mr. Sergeant Wane.-. This h the plaintiff's cm. Mr. 81011011A11 now addressed the Jury for the de fendant, and requested the most particular attention of the Jury to the case. He set out. in order to savutime, by at once admitting the fact of adultery. There were, however, in this case none of the ordinary circume stances of aggravation. There was nothing to excite the feelings—there were no children abandoned—the Lady was not seduced, if seduced at all, after • long process of art—after great resistance on her parr—after long difficulty, and virtue hardly purchased. No long siege was requisite, according to what had been proved. On the contrary, the evidence was all the other way; da:es were every thing in this case. Mrs. Pilfold did not even know the defendant until a fortnight before her husband went to France; and yet, immediately on his departure, he visits there, and remains until 11 or 12 o'clock at night with her. The Learned Counsel then commented eon the absence of all evidence as to the terms upon which the plaintiff and his 'site lived loge• ther prior to the introduction of the defendant. and con tended that in such cases that fact was never as sumed. Indeed, the evidence cast a thick cloud of suspicion over the whole case, and suspicion of more kinds than one. But the mo t suspicious parts were these—How came Mrs. Piitold to be at the eating house in Holborn? and how came the plaintiff's at torney to knew that she was there? Was it not most extraordinary that Mrs. Pilfold should go to the Angel Inn with Captain Bccke, when she must have known that every person at that Inn must recognise her as the wife of Pilfold? Which of them proposed going them? It could not be told; but, presuming most favourably that it was the Gentleman, was it not surprising that she did not immediately ex• claim, le Good Gov do not let us go there; every body there knows me, for it is only a few weeks since I lived there with P►lfold?' Was it not, he would ask, with a view to affording evidence to enable an action to be brought, and a divorce to be obtained, with da -1 mages, if they could get them from Captain Becke?— Couple this with her subsequent confession during her illness, if she was ill, and with the conduct of both parties afterwards; be knows of her guilt in March, yet he remains in the same house with her. and on the best term., until April, though, on account of her health, they do not sleep together. After the pretended sepa ration takes place, he again sees her several times at Harrisnn•stteet, and it could only be from her com munications that his attorney could have met with her at t• e eating house, or that he could at all have proved the case that he hod made out. It would be too hard to make Captain Becke, who was a stranger to the plot, to be the only sufferer. • Th: laenn Cilia, Jurrlcs said, that in his experience, both a s a Counsel and as a Judge, he had heard many cases of this description, but never did he witness so extraordinary a case as the p• event. They must not find a verdict for the plaintiff if they believed that he had been a consenting party to the adultery. It would. however, perhaps be going too far to come to such a conclusion, suspicious as the case appeared to be. The Learned Judge commented at great length ma the whole case, and then left it in the hands of the Jury. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 100 L I'ETWORTH QUARTER SESSIONS, JANUARY 18. Much interest wag excited by the following cue, which was heard Wore a full Bench of Magistrates. TWITORD, Esq. (a Sitting Magistrate of Union Hall), was the Chairman. Mame Wegt.s, Toll-keeper, of Shoreham Bridge, v. Lieutenant COOKTINAT, R.N. who is employed in the Coast Blockade, for Aksault. The indictment having been read, the defendant pleaded guilty, expressing at the same time a desire to say something in extenuation ; this the Court told him he could not do, unless he chose to retract his former plea, and plead not guilty. The prisoner, on this sug gestion, pleaded not guilty. Mr. Lona. for the prosecution, then proceeded to address the Jury. He said the Officers r f his Majesty's Army and Navy had ever been proverbial for their ur banity and gentlemanly behaviout. He regretted that in the present instance it should have fallen to his lot to bang forward charges against the defendant, which he should substantiate by the clearest evidence, of the most gross and unprovoked outrage, committed upon a eivi.ian by an 011icer holding a commission from his Majesty, ever brought into a C..trit of Justice. The pro,* cutor is employed by the contractor of the tolls of the bridge, Mr. John Snow, of Brighton, to collect the tolls according to the Act of Parliament, which pro vides that all fr of passengers shall pay a toll of one halfpenny each, including the Army and Navy. By the Mutiny Act the Army are exempt from this toll, but the Navy are nil. In the afternoon of the 14th October last, Lieutenant Courtenay, with two of his men, came up to the gate of the bridge. The gate was thrown open, and Lieutenant C. parsed through. Otte of the men followed, but on the third attempting the gate• keeper demanded toll for all the three. This' man sefusing to pay, the gate-keeper prevented him horn proceeding by "luting out his hand. The man immediately desisted. By this time Veut. Courtenay had gone forward about a dos .n yards from the gates but seeing his man detained, he teturned in a violent passi n, seized Wells by the collar, thew his sword, and.f.olding it over his head, swore, " by I will cut you down if you dare detain my man." Wells replied that he could not allow the man to go through, since persons in the navy were not exempt lion the toll, as he might perceive by reference to the board, or to the Act of Parliament itself, which lie offered to produce. During the scuffle the man passed the gate, without paying the toll, and then the Lieutenant loosed his hold of Wells, and fillowed his man, also without payirg, giving, however, his name and address to Wells at the request of the latter. The Learned Counsel concluded by calling Wells, and also Mr. Marshall, solicitor, of Steyning, who witnessed the talvtle of the affray, having been detained in his carriage *Welt took place, and who fully corroborated the al. legations in Mrs Long's address. Mr. Marshall was called on, without a brief, to con duct the defence. The blockade men were then examined—They said that Ututenant Courtenay, on perceiving his man de tained, turned very cooly, and taking Mark Wells by the collar, said very quietly, " How dare you detain my man?—we are qn.his Maj service." At the same time he drew his sword coolly, and held it in the direc tion of Shoreham. He was not at all in a passion, nor was his conduct such as could intimidate any person whatever ; he oid n• t swear at all.—ln this statement they both agreed erictly. Air: Los. then eras-r: tusitteti them. Mr. Loa. (ironiaty) Thea Lieutenant rourtenay did not swear at all? Witness—No. Mrs Louts—What du you call,swearins? Witness gave no an saver. Mr. Loyo—lf a mats were to say. " By G—n I wiU cut you aiwn ". shoal' yoiscpll tbat swearing? Witoess—No.—(A lough) Mr. Losa—Uat Lieuteadat C.ourtendy saver said such a thing that? Witnaw--Okno.—(A.l.ugh). Lossar.4la prresll. were to say, " G—s ypur t7'4 by G—a t will cut you dowp," would that be swearing?—( laugh). Witness—l thin% that is —(A loud laugh). Mr. Loma—But Lieutenant Courtenay never said so? Witnesi —Oh no—tA laugh)—he was.very enel..-(A laugh). Mr. Less—Lieutenant Courtenay did draw biseword? Wit, ness—Oh yes. Mr. Loco—He drew his sword gently out of its sheath, held it gently from the man, gently holding the man by the collar•st the same time? Witness—Yes. 111 r. Loso—No person could have the moo &tent idea that %e meant•to.injure any one. Witnew—No—(A burst of laughter). Mr. LOW then replied at considersbk length, and tonsended that his case was fully made our. The CHAIRMAN stated, that it was the opinion of the majority of the Bench, the case ought tit t to go to tie Jury, upon the ground that Li utenant Cowie .ay haw ing been fined in a Court below for refusing to pay the toll, and for obstructing the collector in the discharge of his duty, he was not amenable to the pre,ent indict. ment ; and that they wished to hear the Counsel on both sides upon the point. Mr. Loma contended that . the two cases were per fectly diitinct; the information before the Magistrate having been laid by the contractor, Mr. Snow, for evading the toll, whereby he was injured, brit which could not prevent Wells, the prosecutor, from seeking a remedy for assault. Mr: MARSHALL, for the defence, contended that as the defendant had been fined for obstructing Wells, the assault was included in that obstruction, though the pe nalty under the Act for obstructing did not exceed and no man could be tried twice for the same offence. The Bench baying again consulted together, the CHAIRMAN, addressing the Jury, said, they had agreed to permit the case to go to tLe Jury, with his direction to find the prisoner not guilty, though he himself did not coincide in this opinion. The Jury consulted for about five minutes, and then returned a verdict of Gmiky. The CHAIRMAN immeJiattly addressed thedefendant, and told him he was discharged. Upon which Mr. Loxo ros , and said he should ap ply w the Secretary of State to take cognizance of this matter. Mr. MAR•HALL stated to the C 4 nit. that it was im perative on them to in fl ict a penally. the defendant hav ing been found guilty, if not mcne than a shilling. The Court Oen fined him Is. The defendant immediately arose, and presenting a paler to Mr. Long, said lie demanded satisfaction at his bonds as a gentleman. , The CHAIRMAN, a•Astrtsising the defendant,. s•id. " Sir, if any person bad.* doubt as to y..ur conduct during this trial, he must be peifectly satisfi d now. I require you to enter ill° your own recegn fiances of 2001 and &id two respect •ble sureties also in 1001. to keep the peace towards Mr. Long, and all other persons for one year. You ale in assure) , till such sureties be found." Lieutenant Coortenay ultimately rffeted an apology, which was accepted. and the recogrusattces were with. drawn.

Wednesday the wife of a Ms. Stubblefield was brought before %Ir. Mtnsnuah, by John James Smith, the officer, charged with being concerned in stealing or receiving notes, bills, and cheque!, to the amount of 5001. which were stolen in June last, the pro perty of a Mr. Cutts. the owner of the Tide Milk, at Bishopstone, Sums. It appeared from the statement of fit. Cutts, thst in June last, one of his sons, who acted as a collecting clerk, brought home in a wicker basket bills and notes, amounting to 5001. which be gape to one of the clerks to carry into the countingslinuse. The clerk was closing the counting-house windows at the time. and most im prudently placed the basket on the ground, and during his momen. tary absence, while hr went into the counting house for one of the shutters, sonic person carried away the basket and its contents. Information of the robbery was given' at Bow-street Office, and officers proceeded to the spot, and used every tsertioo to discover the parties who had so dexterously possessed themselves of the large booty; but they could not So guilt upon any one, though suspicions arose that some pentane connected with Mr. C lat's establishment bad carried off the property. Some of the notes were stopped at the Bank of England, and that circumstance led to the appreheo. sloe of the prisoner. Mr. Stewart a clerk in the Bank of England, said, that on the itOtb of September last a female resembling the prisoner, and a young man came to the Bank, and presented a 201. note (which he produced). and which Mr. Cutts identified as part of the stolen property. to be cashed. He had received a previous commonka. tion from Tornio'', requesting him, if that note vise presented, to stop it; but he was not authorised to detain the patty who pre sented it. The female gave her name Simmons. Hr could not swear positively that the prisoner was the person who presented the note, but he believed she was.

The female gave her name Simmons; be could net swear positively to the prisoner, but her voice and person bore so strong a resemblance to that female, that be believed• she was the woman. Mr. Missnutt said, there masted great suspicion that the pri soner was the woman who presented the note at the Bank, and that she was in some way concerned in the robbery, or in receiving the stolen property; but as the witnesses could sot speak positi►ely to her person, and as the affair rested solely on the question of identity, be should admit the prisoner to baiL Her husband, who is a respectable housekeeper, was accepted as her surety, to appear whets called upon.

The door of the room being fawned on the inside, and no answer being given to repeated applications to open it. it was, sifter some dif ficulty, burst open, when a horrible spectacle presented itself—at least as soon as the room could be cleared of smoke—the poor old man was found with his head upon the fire, his face and breast burned to a cinder, and of course quite dead; it is supposed he must have fallen into that position in a fit. The fire was soon quite extinguished, there being a pdmp tg hand and a plentiful supply of water. RIG H. WATER a LONDON-BRIDGE TO MORROW.
