LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Jam 6. AITKIN V. lIIRDWELL. _ This was an action of assault and false imprisonment. The defendant pleaded, first, not Guilty; second, that the plaintiff had committed the first assault ; and third, justified the alleged assault and false imprisonment, on the gr-und:that the was guilty-of disorderly and mutinous conduct as a seaman on board a vessel of which the delendant.was Captain. The plaintiff's cast was conducted by Mr. PLATT, -and the 'defendant's by the Axxoanar-Gentalia and Mr. BOLLAND. The plaintiff, who sued in forma pauperis, had been mariner on board the ship Symmetry, of which the defendant was Master and Commander, on a voyage from this country to Odessa on the Black Sea. It ap peared, from the statement of the plaintiff's Counsel, and proved in substance by the witnesses, that the ves sel sailed from this country on the Ist of March, 1825, arrived at Constantinople, on the 28th of April, where she discharged part of her cargo, and thence proceeded to Odessa,' here she arrived early in June, for the pur pose or discharging the remainder. Whilst laying at Odessa the Captain of another ship, named the Francis Earnest, required the assistance of some of the crew of the Symmetry to enable him to clear ont of port, and accordingly the plaintiff and two other men were des tined for that service, and as soon as they had rendered the required assistance, the Captain rewarded them with some money for their trouble. With this they bought some wine, and were regaling themselves in ,their births on board the Symmetry, when the trans. action in question took place. At this time the ves sel was performing quarantine, and it seems, that by the Russian Law, at the Part of Odessa, all lights on bard venels in the port, are required to be ex tinguished by nine o'clock at night. About nine o'clock on the night in question, namely, the 11th of June, whilst the plaintiff and his companions were re galing themselves, as already mentioned, the defend ant came down anal told them to put out their candle, conformably to the regulation of the port. They replied, that when they had finished their supper, they would do so ; shortly afterwards defendant came down again and repeated his command, and received a similar answer. At this time the men were singing and making considerable noise. The defendant then took up the candle Maisel, blew it out, spilled some of the wine, and, in the anger of the moment, struck the plaintiff several blows. !le then went to the forecastle, and sent the mate on shore for a troop of Russian soldiers. The mate soon afterwards returned with some of the mili tary, when the plaintiff and two other seamen were, by the defendant's orders, taken on shore tad confined in a dungeon until the 20th of June. In the interval, they had no other food than a black loaf and some water, which was given to them by the Russian soldiers. On the 20th of Jute the plaintitLand his companions were taken out of their prison, and in their then exhausted state were stripped to the skin, and severally pot across a cask, and received each one hundred lashes with a thick rope, inflicted by the mate of the Russian guard ship. During this cruel process the men were held by the Russian soldiers, and it was sworn that tt.e defend ant was present, and that the punishnient was in flicted at his instance. After receiving this punish. ment, which was described as dreadfully severe, the 'plaintiff as carried back to his prison, where he re mained instil the 2d July. The defendant then caused him t.. be brought on board the ship, for the purpose of being discharged. He offered him 41 dollars in sa tisfaction of the wages then due to him. The plaintiff claimed more, but the defendant would Dot Make him any Wither allowance, and with this money be was put on board his Majesty's ship Alert, and forwarded to Constaniinople, under arrest. From thence, he was sent to Smyrna, and ultimately arrived at Bristol, where he was so uch exhausted as to be obliged to go into an hospital. This was an outline of the case let the plaintiff, which was proved by one of the sea men, named Step ; Allwiekle, the steward and cook of the vessel ; and John Isileson, belonging to ano ther ship, named the Henry William, of London. The last mentioned witness proved that, whilst the plaintiff and his companions were confined in the prison, he used to thi ow them some copper money through the gratings, i and send them some meat and bread from his own shi p. The punishment inflicted upon the plaintiff was described as most severe, and it was proved that no medical man was sent to dress his wounds. The ATTORNZT GENERAL stated, on the part of the defendant, that the case for the plaintiff had been highly coloured and exaggerated. He proposed to prove that the defendant had been first assaulted by the plaintiff, who, on the occasion in question, behaved in the most ' mutinous and disorderly mapner, and refused to obey the lawful commands of his Captain in potting out the lights, conformably to the law of the port of Odessa.— With respect to what took place on shore, he submitted that the defendant was not accountable, inasmuch as the punishment inflicted upon the plaintiff was ordered by the Russian Authorities, who had investigated the com• plaint against the plaintiff, and adjudged hum to undergo _the punishment complained of, which, however severe, would not render the defendant liable in this action.— He was prepared to shew that the plaintiffhad violated the Russian Quarantine Laws, in burning a light oft board the ship, after, nine .o'clock, and had subjected himself to punishment in the due course of legal pro that country. .iles Roberts, from the office of the Russian 'eneral in this country, produced a book pur )ntain the law of Russia respecting Quaran- ,D Cutar JUSTICE, after some discussion int, refused to receive this as evidence of the issia,there being no proof that the book in ques examined Copy of the Code of that country. I Davis, mate of the Symmetry, was then , ove the defendant's first special plea. He the night in question the crew were sing tg, and making a great noise in the hold, iefendant went down to desire that the lights tt out. Shoal) , afterwards witness met the the deck, and he appealed to have been very .-en; his eyes were bloodshot and black. Wit heard a great noise and disputing with th 9 Cap defendant told witness to go on boat ti the lard Ship, to require assistance in stopping of the crew. Accordingly, he went on guard skip, and the Russian Commandant, soldiers, came on board the Symmetry. the defendant's order, pointed out the and two other men named Bryley and Step, tns who had misconducted themselves. The ad the others were accordingly ordered on the Commandant. On the 14th June they were flia)ten before the British Consul s and the complain' against then wab investigated at a place : dialled the .Mole. Witness had been twice before at Odessa, but 'did not know what the regulations of the port were as to putting out lights. On the day when the punishment was infl tied upon the plaintiff, the defendant sent for all the other men to come and witness it. Witness; himself, was not present, but understood defendant was. Mr. PLarr replied on the part of the pliintiff. The Loan CHIEF Jusrion charged the Jury, that the defendant, as Captain of the ship, had a right, for the preservation of the discipline and good government of his vessel, to order the plaintiff to put Gut the lights, without arty regard to the law of the port ; and, therefore, the conduct of the defendant on board the vessel appeared to have been justifiable.— With respect, however, to what took place on shore, if that was done at the instance of the defendant, he was answerable in the preent action, in the absence of any legal proof that the punishment inflicted upon the plaintiff was in the due administration of 'the law of Russia; but if they were satisfied that the defendant was not personally privy to that proceeding, then they would find their verdict accordingly. The Jury found for the defendant, upon the plea of first assault—and for the plaintiff, as to the transaction on shore—Damages 2.51.

NEW COURT. filehard Taylor, a yntch apparently not more than 18 years of age, was placed at the bat en a charge of highway robbery. The indictment stated, that on the 2d of April last, the prisoner snitched from the person of Mr. William Helder a gold watch, valtie 201. a chain, value 51. a ring, value 15s. and three seals, value 101. Mr. ALLEY conducted the case for the prosecution, l and briefly stated the facts to the Jury. On the 2d of April last, about five or six o'clock in the evening, the prosecutor was walking up George.street, St. Giles's, on his way to Russell-square. While he was pursuing his way through this street, the prisoner rushed on him, struck him a blow on the stomach, and seized his watch, chairs, and seals. The prosecutor, however, kept the prisoner under his observation, and when ke had a little recovered from the effects of the blow, and the surprise the transaction occasioned, he pursued him, and shortly overtook him: a struggle took place, and the prisoner escaped. Mr. Helder continued the pursuit, and again overtook him, but the pi ironer a second time succeeded in making his escape, and got into a house where the prosecutor did not' deans it prudent to follow. Infor mation was given of the robbery, And the prisoner was eventually discovered and taken into custody. These were the facts of the case, which would be substantiated by the prosecutor and other witnesses. The case was fully established. Mr. SergeadtA RABIN asked the prisoner if he wished to say any thing in his defence, or whether he would call any witnesses ? The prisoner said he had nothing to say further than that the last witnyss had made an error as to the date of his apprehension, which was oa the Ist of May, and not on the 2d. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN then summed up, recapitu lating the whole of the evidence, and informing the Jury that they must be satisfied that the prisoner was actually the man who had stolen the watch, and that he made use of force to effect his purpose, before they could End him guilty of the alleged offence. The Jury, without the slightest hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Sergeant ARABEN had no doubt that the verdict was a perfectly correct one. The prisoner was, apparently, unconcerned at his situation. W. Goodell, George Hummer, and Elizabeth Harman, stood indicted for a burglary committed on the pie raises of Mr. James Woods. a pawnbroker in St. John street-road, on the night of the 2sl of Apt il last, from whence they had conveyed properly to the value of about 1001. To this charge Condell pleaded " guilty," the two others" not guilty." Mr. ANDREWS and Mr. ADOLPHUS conducted the case for the prosecution. Mr. Aunarwa briefly stated the circumstances of the case. Mr. Woods was a pawnbroker, carrying on business in St. John•sttteet-road. He had a warehouse, as was usual, at the top of the house, in which he had a• great variety of articles.- This room was broken into by the two prisoners, Caudell and Plummer, on the 2ci of April last. It happened that one of the houtis adjoining Wockra was uninhabited, which the prisoners bad taken advantage of. Having first gained admission into that, they went up stairs, and got into the gutter in' front of the window of the warehouse that had been mentioned. It appeared that they soon effected an entry into the room by means of the window which they bad forced, and succeeded in carrying off various articles of pro perty to the value of upwards of lON. To prove these facts, it would be necessary to receive the evidence of Mary Ann Vandivald, who was an accomplice with the prisoners, and was apprehended with them. She had,' however, since her confinement, confessed the whole of the transaction, and now offered herself as a witness to convict the others. Mr. James Woods, the prosecutor, deposed, that his house had been broken into, and that he had Lost goods to the value of 1001. Mary Ann Vandivald was then called. She had co- habited with Plummer for twelve months. The prisoners Condell and Harman had lived together as man and wi.e. The evidence of this witness fully brought home the charge of burglary against Condell and Plummet, but war not sufficient toconvict Harman as an accessory to. a burglary, she being absent when the house was actually broken into. Several police officers proved the apprehension of the' prisoners, and produced the propetty they had disco- vered in their possession, which could not, however, be Identffied by Mr. Wood. Many persons were then called, who identified the property which they had pledged at Mr. Wood's, for which they produced the duplicates. - the of she officers stated that be found 44 dopli clues. with many implements used for bouse-breatirtg, in the lodgings of Plummer, which was in Pettiford court, Drury-court, near the New Cherch. Strand. • Another officer produced a great many duplicates, and nearly a complete set of house•breaking .imple ments, which he had found in Conden s e lodging, Grange court, Clare-market. Mr. Sergeant ARAIIIN being of opinion that there was no evidence to convict Hartnate, she was acquitted. He then asked Plummer if he had any thing to say in his defence He replied, that he wished to address* fes! He was a young man only just 19 yeari of age, who had been led away by the society which he had unfor• tunately fallen into ; nor could the witness whose testi• mony had gone so much against him be rectoned among the least of his destroyers. He had supported her by his own industry now for about 12 months, during which time she had led him into many twits, and had enter tained other men at his expense. She was, indeed, a most abandoned character; and he trusted that the Court and Jury would not place implicit confidence in what she had stated. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN summed up, and the Jury int• mediately returned a verdict'of UuiliS against Condet. and Plummer.—Elizabeth Harman* was Acquitted. Elizabeth liarotan was again placed at the bar,charged as an accessory after a burglary. Mr. ANDIWWS stated, that in this case the burglary Irad betn effected by the same patties in a msronet precisely similar. Conde!! and Rummer broke into the house of Mr. Balfour, a pawnbroker, in Chandos-street, as they had done at Mr. Wood's, by mesas of an adjoining empty house, through which they passed and effected an entry at the garret window ni the prose-, tutor's house, from whence they carried off goods to the Value of 601. or 701. A quantity of these goods were received and pledged by the psisoatev, as would be 'wowed by many ' , shoots's. Mr. Balfour proved the loss of the goods, aid their value. Mary Ann Vaudivald was called in this ease also, and her tebtirnony fully convicted the prisoner. Many pawnbrokers and others deposed that the pri• saner .had brought goods to them to pledge, which were now produced and ideatifscd. The prisoner had nothing to say in her defense,. and the Jury immediately found her Guilty. Mr. Sergeant ARAIIN then informed het that she would be transported . for 14 years, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL Yesterday, Henan; i‘er, aieTleoliieiarwmaan, who had bees at the same bar tinny times before upon charges arising front her drunkenness, was brought up in the custody of Taylor, the street. keeper of Aldersgate Ward, as a disorderly." Old Taylor Is quite a character, and it would not be possible to produce his fellow. He is a tall, lusty, sinewy man, with a most powerful voice ; and there is not a beadle in London so proud of his livery, so stately in his gait, or so solemn and elaborate in the delivery of his accusations ; and yet there is usually a qsaintnem la his descriptions, and an honest bluntness of mahner, which irre. sinibly provoke laughter, and will sometimes lead the Aldermen to unbend their gravity a little, and draw him out for the amuse. went of the auditory. Yesterday, however, Taylor had evidently predetermined to keep a curb upon his tongue. " Weil, Mr. Taylor," said Sir Pares Lauelg, what have you to state against this pour woman?" Why, Sir Peter, I was going my rounds last evening," replied the beadle, " it were a little before nine o'clock, the guns were firing at the time." Sir Purses.-1.1141 you hear the guns firing? Taylor, who is an old soldier, paused for a moment while an toward struggle was going on whether he would or would not er... patiate upon the subject of the guns, but be answered laconically, " I did. In Foster.lane, Sir Peter, I saw this woman lying on the pavement as drunk as mortal ever was, your Worship." And you beard the info &lag at that time?" said the A. demean. This renewed the conflict between the beadle's discretion and Ids ardent imagination, but it dashed across his mind that the observe. non was but a trap for him; the colour new momentarily into his, cheeks, and be replied, "Sir Peter, I heard the guns ; but, your Worship, that has nothing to do with the cases"—(Laughter). " Well, then, goon," said the Alderman. remonsterated with the woman, but I could not gat rid of her. r ltlother Mott, I know you well," said I, fcir she ban old customer of mine, your worship. " Here you ate again breach of the pace." She kicked and she beat, and (lowering the pitch of his voice) was so Indecent, your Worship, that I was in duty bound to take her into custody. " The prisoner said she had been eta to work, where spirits were given to her, and she got an extra glass coating home. Sir Pawn—You said, Mr. Taylor, that she was an old customer ; bow long is it since you had her in custody before? Taylov—Twelve months, your Worship ; and I was in good hopes she was dead, to tell ye the truth.—(Laughter). Sir Prrao—lf I dismiss her now, perhaps she will promise you not to trouble you again for twelve months to come. Taylor (baviling In the old woman's ear)—Will you promise not to be troublesome again for two years to come? Yea, said old Hannah, I am going to Coventry shall never return. r, and I Taylor was satisfied with this promise, and the prisoner was dismissed. ROW-STREET.
