FATAL ATIRAY AT COGGIMIALL.—The late unfor tunate affray between Mr. Hanbury's gamekeeper, Goody, and a man named Owers, in which the latter was killed, has produced a very powerful sensation in that neighbourhood. The circumstance of Goody hay. ing, in obedience to the orders he had received from his employer, prevented the young men of the place from entering the woods, over which be had controul, for the purpose of nutting, and which, from long custom, they considered themselves entitled to do, rendered him generally unpopular ; and this feeling, as might be na turally expected, has, since the late unfortunate event, shewn itself with increased violence. On Monday, a Jury was empannelled at the Fleece Public•house, on the body of the deceased ; but from the strong feeling which then existed, it was thought proper to adjourn the inquiry till the following day, when, in justice to an old servant, Mr. Hanbury procured for him the as sistance of counsel. The other side, aware of what was intended, obtained similar assistance ; and, from the number of witnesses examined, the discrepancies in their statements, and the st.ictneis with which they were cross-examined, it was found necessary to further al journ till Wednesday, when the inquiry was brought to a close. From the general tenour of the evidence it seems, that the parties had been for some time at vari ance, owing to an attempt on the part of Goody to pre vent them from nutting ; that on the evening of Satur• day last, thry met, by accident, at the Fleece public. house, where the old grievance became the topic of much abuse and mutual recrimination, and at a time when probably they were heated both by passion and 1 quor, a tight took place between Goody 's son and the deceased. The latter had the advantage. Soon after Goody and his son kit the public-house, the deceased and his party, consisting of five in all, followed and overtook them, in that part of Mr. Hanbury's estate known as Highfields. Irritating language was used, and Goody, in a paroxysm of passion, drew out and opened his clasp kniie, and inflicted with it a wound on Owers's left arm, which divided several principal are ties, from which the effusion of blood was so great, that he died within half an hour afterwards. Owers, on falling, exclainitd, "Oh, my GoD, I am murdered!" and Fenn and French, two of his companions, seeing his condition, instantly rushed upon and sec in d Goody. The Jury, aftrr a long consultation, rem - lied a verdict of Manslaughter ; and the plit•oner lA:is accordingly committed, limier the Coroner's war rant, to the Count) Gaol to take his trial for that oift OLD BAILEY-THIS DAY. -.0.-.

Joseph Dumon and James Bishop were indicted for burglariously entering the dwelling house of Mrs. Tes chemacher, in Prospect-place, Islington, in company with a third person, who was not taken, and stealing therefrom a writing desk. The prisoners were seen lurking about the premises, and one of them entered two houses in Prospect-place, and came out . of one, that of the 'prosecutrix, with a writing desk. They were followed and taken into cus tody, after some resistance, in the course of which Dumon knocked one of the officers down. A counter feit sovereign, a Lady's ring, a gold watch key, and a pawnbroker's duplicate were found upon Damon. The Jury found hods the prisoners Gositty j and the Judge in formed the Jury that Vishop was an old offender. Charles Cooper, a poor man, aged 73, was indicted for stealing thres pounds of bacon. The theft was preyed; and the prisoner admitted that he stole the bacon through distress—he had not a friend in the world—Guilty. Recommended to mercy on account of his age. Two other cases of bacon stealing were tried in succession. Mary Anne Williams was charged with stealing from Edward Thomas, a young ma i of colour, who stated himself to be a surgeon in Shoreditch, a gold and a sil ver watch, two gold seals, and a case of instruments. The prosecutor stated, that on the 3d of October he drank too much, having visited several public houses in the course of the afternoon. At three o'clock the next morning he found himself—minus all the articles men tioned, and some others—at a house in Blue Anchor court. He looked out at the door, and seeing the watch man, told him of his loss. But he was not successful in recovering his property. Robert Constantine, a private in the Life-Guards, con tras y to his deposition before the magistrate, disowned all knowledge of the prisoner, and denied his hand writing which was signed to the deposition. David Lynn, another private in the same regiment, knew the prisoner to be very intimate with Constantine, the last witness. He had carried a message to her, asking for money and tobacco. He saw her for this purpose, on the 4th of October. She said that she could not send him any money. She had two seals for him, which she had thrown down by him where he was standing sentry ; that she wished him to wear them next parade day, that she might see them upon him ; that she coulal not come out till evening, as she had stolen two watches and a case of instruments from a medical man who had been at the house. It will be in the recollection of our readers, that at the last Old Bailey Sessions, two women, named Pancenta and Jervis, with a young man named William Sturdy. were tried capitally, for a most daring highway robbery., on the person of a young Gentleman named Lart, and ' taking from his person a watch, &c. at noon day. Ott that occasion the two women were convicted, and sen. mote of death passed on them, and in this awful situ*. tion they remain at present. Sturdy was acquitted; but so gross was his conduct on the occasion, having knocked the young Gentleman down several timed while in pursuit of the women, that the Court or dered him to be detained, and the young Gentle- . man was ordered to prosecute for the rescue. Par• suant to this order the indictment was preferred, and the prisoner was this day put on his trial. The evidence adduced on the occasion was confirmatory of the former facts proved, viz. that the woman having robbed Master Lart, r.'n away towards a public-house, when the pri soner came our, caught the prosecutor by the waist, and afterwards knocked him down several times, by which means the prisoners for a time escaped,but were eventu ally secured, and, as before stated, now await the result of the Recorder's Report. The Jury having found the prisoner Guilty, Mr. Sergeant ARABIN said, such was the daring con duct of the prisoner, and so audacious were the parties who committed the robbery, that had he (the prisoner) been found guilty on the former occasion, not the slightest hope of mercy could have been entertained on earth for him. He had, however, escaped with his life, and very narrowly too ; but such was the feeling of the Court on the occasion, that the prisoner must expect to be visited with the utmost severity of the law. The punishment awarded by law is transportation for life. LAMENTABLE CASE. A mere child, whose head scarcely reached the level of the bar, was found guilty of stealing 45. the property of a butcher, named Brookbank, resident in St. Giles's. So apparent was the i nnocence of the poor infant, that the worthy Governor was induced to keep hint separated front the other prisoners; and such was the feeling of the auditory assembled in the Court, and the Bench, that judg ment was postponed on the little unforunate. It seldom occurs that such a burst of feeling evinces itself ; and from what fell from the worthy Sergeant, Mr. ARABIN, the poor child will be taken care of. Tosept Richards was found guilty of assaulting on the King's high way, an elderly Gentleman named Taylor, and taking from his person a watch, &c. his property—Death. Yesterday, George Parker and William Mansfield were indicted for assaulting and robbing Wm. Blencoe Layton, on the 10th of October.—The prosecutor stated, th rt between 11 and 12 o'clock on the night of the 10th of October, he was returning home through Holborn, when the prisoner Mansfield came up to him, and said that he knew him, and entered into conversation with him. The prosecutor said he did not know him, but the prisoner continued talking to him until he arrived at his house in Peter-lane, when the prisoner said, that if he (the prosecutor) would go a little further with him, be would tell him how he knew him. The prose cutor walked on a little way, when Mansfield seized the prosecutor, and attempted to take a silk handkerchief from his neck. The prosecutor resisted, and Parker . came up and struck him to the ground. As be was falling, he felt his watch snatched from his fob. The. prisoners fled, but the prosecutor called the watch, and they were taken. The prisoner Parker was seen to throw the property away. The Jury found the pri soner. Guilty. • Sarah Wilkinson and Ellen Harnett were indicted for stealing forcibly, from the person .of William Tinge% several bank notes, to the amount of 4501. 'lt appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor, who is a cattle dealer, that he had been collecting money on the 11th of 'September. In the evening he met the prisoners in the street, and accompanied them to their l lodgings in Lower West -street, Cow Cross. He there drank ale with them, and took off his coat, in the breast pocket of which was his money. The girls took hold of his coat, and he, supposing that they intended to rob him, endeavoured to regain possession of it. A scuffle ensued, and the prosecutor and the girls came to the ground together. The prosecutor called "murder!" and the landlord of the house came into the room, closed the door, and placed his back against it. The prose cutor had by this time discovered that the notes had, been taken from his pocket, and had hold of the psi. salters. The landlord said something about sending for a constable, and supposing he meant to assist him, he left go his held of the girls. The landlord immediately opened the door, and the girls ran out of the house. He pursued them, but lost sight of them, and did not see them again till a month after, when they were in cus tody. He never recovered his money. In his cross-examination the prosecutor said that be was quite sober—he is married. James Lee, the constable who apprehended the pri. soners, stated, that he found them playing at cards, at In house in the Commercial-road. The prisoners were taken to Lambeth-street Police-office,and the prosecutor, on seeing them, immediately identified them as the persons who had robbed him. He apprehended the prisoners on suspicion; and his attention was directed to them on account of their seeming to be in possession of no re money than such females usually obtain. Another police officer stated, that he saw the pri soners in company with the prosecutor, on the evening of the 11th of September; he spoke to them ; and as they had come out of prison only on that day, at three o'clock, said, that he hoped they would take warning from their confinement. The prisoners declined saying anything in their defence, further than that they were wholly innocent. Mr. Baron Gaasow summed up the evidence at considerable length, and the Jury, alter a few minutes deliberation, found both prisoners Guilty.

AND MURDER. Our readers will recollect, that, at the latter end of July la,t, in an affray between the blockade men and some armed smugglers on the coast abreast of the town of Dover, a Q:iartermaster of the Ramifies guard ship, named Morgan, was killed. A man named Horne, however, who, it will be seen by his own statement, was one of the most active amongst those whom he now accuses, came forward as an approver, and upon his information, eight men were taken into custody on the morning of Wednesday, the 18th inst. by Bishop and Smith, of Bow•street, assisted hy a large body of the blockade men, at the village of Aldington Frith; in the parish of Billensden, Kent. They underwent a short exsmination yesttrday sennight beF•re Sir R. I3irnie, and yesterday they were 24:tin brought up, and soon after twelve o'clock put to the bar. Their names are George Ra,sdey, Samuel Bailey, Thomas Deward, Robert ariley , Thomas Gillian% Richard Ware, William Wyre, and Charles Giks. They all wore the dress of labouring men, except Ransley, who was habited after the manner of a middling country farmer. Mr. Jonas, Solicitor to the Admiralty, appeared to conduct the prosecution on behalf of the Crown, Mr. Purr attending as Counsel; and Mr. Littattax, of Clifford's Inn. as Solicitor for the prisoners. The first case gone into was that of the murder of Morgan. Michael Pickett sworn—l am an ordinary seaman of his Majesty's ship Ramilies, and am employed on the blockade service. On the night of S.tturday, the 29th of July last, I was stationed on duty, near the bathing machines, abreast of the Parade, at Dover. Between twelve and one o'clock that night, I saw a French g. alley coming towards the shore. 1 knew her to be a French galley from her great length, and from having seen her before. Just as she was about grounding, I heard one of the men in her call out, " Jack, ashore," and imme• diately a great number of men rushed down the beach towards her, and began to take out the tubs from her. The working party, that is, those who were to carry the tubs, consisted of about fifty or sixty men, and they surd rounded the boat, while the armed party, about, I be lieve, six or seven, stood at high water mark, drawn up in a line on each side, to protect the working party.— The night was star light, and it was sufficiently light to enable me to distinguish a party of men as far as from low to high water mark. When the working party had got on each side of the galley I saw one of the men in her take two tubs, and pot them on a man's shoulder, upon which I ran forward, and called out, " You if you stir a peg out of that, I'll blow your brains out." I fired my pistol, which had only a blank cartridge in it. I fired before an answer was given to my threat. At this moment M ,rg.in, the deceased, came up and inquired what boat that was ? and before I had time to answer, he fired his pistol off for an alarm. Several of our men came running to our assistance, and the armed patty of the smugglers then fired a volley at Morgan, and he fell. Two or three straggling shots were fired after the volley. I was loading my pistol, when one of the smugglers came up to me with a mns ket, and said, he would do for me it I fired. He turned the butt•end of his musket, and struck at my head; but I put up my hands, and the blow knocked my pistol from my grasp. I told him I had no dread of him, and drew my cutlass; and he was ablut to make a second blow at me with his musket, when I cut at him across the arm. Sir R. Maissr—Hadlon no assistance? Witness—None, Sir. Sir R. BIRMIL—What ! amid fifty or sixty men on their side? Witness—Yes; they got the tubs clear into the town except SS, which were seized immediately afterwards. Some of the tubs contained Cogniac brandy, and others gin (Honaiads). I cut at one man who had no tabs, and he laid hold of my cutlass, and tried hard to take it from me, but I drew it through his handsi and struck at him again, and he ran up the beach. I struck at two or three other men, and the man who seemed to be at the head of the party said, 44 Ifs of no use to be after that b— now (meaning witness); shove the boat off." I then stood to prevent the man from carrying off more tubs from the galley. Some tubs wete thrown overboard from the galley when she pushed off. I then went to Morgan, whom I found lying on his back, and asked if he was dead ? (The witness is from the sister country.) His only reply was, " Oh, GOD." I took his pistols, and loaded them, and said I would have satisfaction for him, and I pursued ,the party up the beach. I saw a man running along-from the east ward, who, upon hailing. turned'out to be Quarter Mas ter Prendergast, of the Ramilies. I told him Morgan was shot, and we went back to him, and found that he was dead. Peter Prendergast, the Quarter Master of the Ramifies, swore, that on the night that Morgan was shot he heard the report of firsr arms, and hastened to the spot.—The rest of the testimony of this witness went merely to corroborate the statement o f Pickett. Mr. Jones said, this was all the evidence he had to offer as to the fact of the murder. The next step would be to adduce evjdence to prove that some or all of the prisoners were present at the commission of the murder, and the only possible way of doing so in transactions of this kind, from the very nature of them, was to call some one who was with the prisoners at the time. Edward Horne, a tall young man, in the dress of a seaman, was then called and sworn. He was asked if he knew any of the Prisoners at the bar ? and he pointed out the whole of them by name. He continued —I was it Dover on the night of Saturday, the 20th of July last. All the prisoners but Giles were with me there on that night; George Ransley sent a message to me in the day time, to join him at Dover that night, and I first of all joined him at a public house at Lid den, about five miles from Dover. I have known Ran sley about ten years; I have met him by appointment before. We went from there to t' e Palm Trees, two miles nearer Dover, and there saw Samuel Bailey, and all the rest but Giles. There were many others, about fifty or sixty, I suppose. From a dozen to eighteen of the party had firearms—Samuel Bailey, Thomas Den nard, Thomas Gilbam, Robert Bailey, and Richard Wyre, had muskets; Ransley and William Wyre were not armed. We proceeded together to the bathing machines at Dover, some time from twelve to one o'clock. We stationed ourselves just at the back of the machines, in the road. Ransley generally went forward to look out for the boat that was expected, but I cannot say that he did upon this occasion. I did not hear him hailing from the boat, but Ransley called out presently, ",Halloa, come on !" which was the sigual for•the rest of the party to go down. The working party went - to the boat, while the armed party 'were drawn up on each side to cover them. The cargo consisted of brandy, giu, and other " uncustomed goods." We were inter rupted by the Preventive men, and some pistol% were fired. I did not know Morgan, but was told that he• was killed. I was one of the armed party, and had a fowling piece. Perhaps about five or six of our party fired—there might be mote. I saw the man fall. The working pasty curie, off about 70 tubs.— We did not work the whole, 4, through Long" of the blockade party coming op. We were not there five minutes altogether. We left the spot on account of the
