beadedness. and his ignorance of the proceedings in this most Christian country, that led him into the conduct that produced these litigations and expenses. Lord TINTERDSN said, the question the Jury had to deeide •as, whether the business had been done by the ' plaintiff for the Company, or for the defendant ? If it was done for the defendant, the plaintiff would have a right to recover ; but if done for the Company, his re ceipt in full of all dethands precluded him. The Jury, after a little deliberation, found a verdict for the defendatii. r COURT OF COUgON RLEAS, Jut's' 17. SOOLTER O. MASON. In this action the plaintiff sought to recover a sum of money which he had lost, in consequence of the negligence of the defendant, whom he had employed as a surveyor. The circumstances of the case appeared to be these :— ln 1825. an application was made to the plaintiff by a third party, for a loan of 4001. for the security of which certain freehold property, situate in Grub-street and the adjoining neighbourhood, was pro posed as security. Previous to advancing this sum, the plaintiff employed the defendaht to survey the premises, in order to ascertain their value, and to know whether they would be good security for the loan. The defend ant‘reported favourably of them, and the money was advanced oo the strength of his opinion. The plaintiff, however, had subsequently discovered that the premises were not of sufficient value to secure the money be had advanced, which had never been paid ; and he therefore brought' this action against the defendant, to recover .the sum he had lost, in consequence of his negligence -sr want of skill. In support of this ease, several sur .voyors and auctioneers were called, who stated, that the property was so much our of repair, and let to such miserable tenants, that after deducting all expenses, 401. per annum would be the utmost it would produce. The defendant contended, that the property was an ample security, as he could prove by the most respect able and experienced Witnesses. Mr. Winstanley was then called, and stated, that he should consider the property good security, as in 1825 he had estimated their value at upwards 4.5001. Mr. Musgrove calculated that their net produce would be 691. per annum ; but admitted, in cross-examination, that had he been consulted be should not have advised an advance of 4001. The Loan CRUET &MICR said, that where there was such conflicting testimony, the Jury must decide on which they thought most probable. The question in the present case tor thPir consideration was, whether the defendant had exerted a sufficient degree of skill and attention, or whether he bad not been negligent in per forming the duty he had undertaken? It they thought he had not been sufficiently attentive, they would give their verdict for the plaintiff, teaching those Gentlemen (auctioneers and surveyors) that they had sornethieg to ' do besides receiving their fees. If, however, they thought he had properly discharged his duty, they would find for the defendant. Should they decide in favour of the plaintiff, they would give him such -an amount as would cover the differencebetween the WOOL and the actual valise of the premises, which they would• estimate from the evidence they had heard. After a short deliberation, she Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 2001. MCI e. }MLITT. Mr. Sergeant ANDRIM stated that this was an action of trespass, assault, battery, and false imprisonment, committed upon the plaintiff, who was carpenter on beard the Georgiana, commanded by the defendant. The circumstances of the case were thesez—The plain tiff was taken on board the Georgiana as carpenter, at Calcutta, in the month of Jnly last, the ship being then about to leave India on her homeward voyage. She arrived at the Cape of Good Hope just at the con clusion of the year, and sailed from that port on the Ist of January; and it was upon the following day that the assault complained of was committed. It hap. pened that about three o'clock in the afternoon of that day (the 2cl of January. the plaintiff was below, and, fatigued with the work he had undergone, had retired to his cabin; an order at this time was sent from the Captain by the boatswain, desiring his immediate at. tendance on deck. This order, however, the carpenter refused to obey, and the Learned Sergeant admitted that he certainly returned an improper answer—viz• that if the Captain wanted him in such a hurry, he might come after him himself: This message was taken to the Captain, and three of the mates of the vessel were sent down to bring him on deck. These Gentlemen weal into his cabin, seized hold of him by the neck, threw him down, bound his legs with a rope, and finally dragged him up, heels foremost, upon deck, where he was ordered to be put into irons, and kept in confine menu This order was immediately executed, and the ' unfortunate man was kept in confinement and in irons final that time until the ship arrived at Woolwich on the 12th of March, when he was liberated, and told he might go about his business. These were the facts of the case, as would be proved by witnesses. The Learned Sergevis would then leave the case in the hands of the Jury to give such damages as they should think would compensate the plaintiff for the very severe injury he bad sustained. Three witnesses were then called, who stated that the plaintiff was kept on bread and water for some days previous to the ship's arriving at St. Helena, where a fresh carpenter was taken on board. From that place until his arrival in England, he had the same allowance as the other seamen, with the exception of grog. They also all stated, that from the kindness of the officers under whose charge he was placed, he was allowed to be on deck, out of irons, from ten o'clock in the morning until sunset, when a single iron was placed on his leg. In cross-examination, they said that when the Captain sent to him, the topmast was down ; and in consequence of his refusal to work, the first mate and one of the pas sengers were compelled to repair it previous to its being replaced. Mr. Sergeant WILDE addressed the Jury for the de fendant. lie admitted that as the defendant had pleaded no justification, a verdict must be given for the plaintiff, but he thought the Jury had already seen sufficient of the case to sec that it was one that did not call for very heavy damages. He would, however, call the other Officers of the ship who were now in England, who would prove that the plaintiff's conduct had been most shameful, and that he had been insolent, not to say mutinous, in the language he had used when he refused to obey the orders of the Captain. This the Learned Sergeant would prove by indisputable evidence, and he trusted, before the Jury returned their vet diet, they Would consider how strict an obedience to the Captain's order-was necessary to the good management and safety of a ship. Mr. Johnston, the first mate, was then called, and stated, that at the time the carpenter refused to come on deck the ship was in distress, ha topmast being struck, and, had a gale sprung up, stould have been placed in considerable danger. He then describedlhe manner in which Rice bad conducted himself, and the wens adopted to get him on deck, which were such as bad been described by the witnesses for the plaintiff; but it was entirely in consequence of his obstineey and imper tinence. When the order was given him to go on deck, he said, " lithe Captain wants me, let him come: I will not go to him, see him d—d first.* His conduct was so violent, that they were compelled to fasten his legs with a rope to carry into execution the Captain's,order to bring him on deck. It was the Captain's intention to have put him on board a man of war, in case they should meet with one, but that not being the c sse, they brought him home. A Court of Inquiry was held among the Officers, on board the ship, when it was decided, in consequence of certain expressions that had fallen from the plaintiff, that it was necessary he should be kept in irons during the night., He was at liberty during the day-time, from eight o'clock till sun-set. Mr. Lewis, the second mate, and Mr. M'Donald, a passenger, gave evidence to the same effect. The LORD Csusr Justice summed up, leaving it to the Jury to say what damages they should think the plaintiff was entitled to recover, after the evidence they bad heard. The Jury, after retiring for some time, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages SOL OLD BAILEY, Jury 17. Ames Shaw, a workman, was convicted of having stolen spectacles and mathematical instruments, the properly of William Elliot, his master. The Jury va lued the articles under 40s. Sentence—transportation for fourteen years. John Whittal was tried for having stolen a quantity of lead from certain premises at Poplar. He had bee seen carrying a bundle, containing the stolen property, which he threw away when pursued. Notwithstanding a very good character for previous honesty,he was found guilty, and sentenced to - seven years transportation. • James Smith was put on his trial for uttering false coin, knowing it to be counterfeit. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and could not be persuaded by the Re corder to withdraw his plea. He was sentenced to one .year's imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction; to be further imprisoned until he should Ainiatallfetila for his good behaviour for two years. Borah Smith and Elizabetb Buckley were found guilty of having base coin in their possession, with intent to utter the same, and were sentenced to twelve month s confinensent anel hard labour in the House of Correction. Charles Jones was tried for wilful and corrupt per jury, alleged to have been committed by him on giving his evidence on the trial of one George Williams, at a former Sessions of this Court for burglary, with a view to shield Williams from conviction. Williams had been convicted on that occasion. • The present prisoner (Jones) was proved to have sworn, on the trial of Williams, and for the defence Williams, that, on the night, and at the moment that Williams was pursued, and seized for the burglary, be Jones) saw another man run through the public house an which Williams was taken prisoner, and that be mentioned the circumstance at the time to the persons who seized Williams; those persons deposed, this day, that no person ran through the house, and that the pri soner (Jones) did not mention the circumstance to them, at the time. The prisoner stated, in his defence, that he gave his testimony truly and sincerely on the trial of Williams, and that if it was not satisfactory, it must have resulted from the confusion and embarrassment of his feelings while he was giving it. He had never been tried for any offence before the present, and disclaimed all idea of misleading the Court, or of shielding Williams, by the testimony he gave on Williams's trial. Several persons gave the prisoner a good character for honesty and veracity. Verdict—Not Guilty. Mr. Sergeant Alumni, to the prisoner —Now, young Mao, let the be a warning to you. You certainly came forward oa that trial to defeat the ends of public justice! This case concluded the list of trials. Thirteen males l and font teen females (prisoners) were discharged from custody, no bills having been found against them by the Grand Jury. The Recommit then proceeded to the New Court, pronounce sentence on the several prisoners who had been convicted in the course of the Session. NRW COURT. T. Harris and G. Churchman were convicted of steal ing nearly five cwt. of lead. Susannah Smith, aged 17 years, was convicted of stealing a Leghorn bonnet, the property of Elizabeth Stewart. From the evidence of the prosecuirix and other witnesses, it appeared, that about ten o'clock in the evening of the 9th Jnne last, the prosecutrix was crossing London-bridge, when the prisoner snatched from her head her bonnet, and being pursued, threw it I over the bridge. The aunt of the prisoner appeared on her behalf, and said, she had been left an orphan et the early age of nine months. She bad been at service in Hertfordshire, and had (to the best of the witness's knowledge) main tained an excellent character. The witness had bad no idea that the prisoner was in town until she received a letter from her, stating that she was in confinement. The witness, in answer to a question from the Court, declared her willingness, and, indeed anxiety, to receive the pr slner into her house, and to take care of her. T.ie prisoner was convicted, but the Jury recom mended her to mercy, believing this to have been her first offence. The DEPUTY Rem:ranee said be should attend to the recommendation of the Jury ; and, thinking the best course would be to give her a chance of being reclaimed, sentenced her to a fine of one shilling, and ordered her to be given up to her aunt. This humane sentence ap peared to give satisfaction to the entire Court. Three Jcw boy s;of the names of Isaacs, Barnard, and Moses, were convicted of stealing from the person of a yr uth, AI: red Bt namin Elkin (also an Israelite), a pocket. book, his property. In passing sentence on the prisoners, the DE puTi RECORDER declared it to be the determination of the Court to protect the public against such offenders, by transporting every person that shall be convicted Of picking pockets; and concluded by sentencing the pti-1 soners severally to be transported for 14 years. Coleman Jacobs stood indicted for stealing several cards of gilt bracelets and ear-rings, the property of George Bowers and Sons. W. Woodroffe examined—l am a clerk of Bowers and Sons, of Thaives Inn, Holborn. At about half-past nine o clock on Friday morning last the prisoner came to our shop, and asked to see some goods. Another clerk shewed him some ear-rings. I saw the prisoner put his hat near the ear-rings, place his handker chiel - - • .• (over them, put them into his hat, sod . 534 it 'efts hid head. The saute operation was repeated with respect' to some bracelets. I told my employer what I had ob served. He would hardly believe it, the prisoner having for a considerable time had extensive dealings with my employers. He was called into the back ware house, and there Mr. Bowers said—" Jacobs, you have got some goods that are not booked 7' He denied it. I asked him where were the bracelets he had put into his hat? He said he had no such things; but the ear rings and bracelets sere, notwithstanding, found in hie hat with his handkerchief. On his cross-examination by Mr. Fnint.t.res, the wit.: ness dented that he had ever said that he entertained o pique against the prisoner. I never had a quarrel.wri words of disagreement with him. The prisoner has had large dealings with my employers, and was considered a very honest man by them. Benjamin Davis examined—l am also a clerk of the prosecutors. The prisoner came to our house on Friday morning, and asked to see some bracelets. I sheaved him some. He asked had we any thing else? I said we had—neck-chains—which he looked at. but imme diately asked to see some gilt esr-rings. These I also 'hewed him, and a.ted would he then settle a small account we had against him? He said, "Yes." I went into the 'compting-house to make it out, and in the ime• rim the transact ion deposed to by Woodroffe took place. George Bowers, jun. examined—l am a partner in the house of George Bowers and Sons. The witness corrobotated the testimony of the other witnesses, and declared, bad he not seen the bracelets and ear-rings taken out of his hat, he could not have believed that the prisoner was capable of such an act. The prisoner, on the discovery, begged forgiveness. It is impossible that these things could have adhered by accident to his handkerchief, or remained in his hat without his know ledge. The prisoner is, I believe, rather an eccentric man. He has had extensive dealings with our house for many years. I always considered him an honest man., The prisoner (who is a Polish Jew), on being called,' upon for his defence, entered into a long statement,' which was rendered perfectly unintelligible by his de fective pronunciation. A written defence was subse. quently put in and read, in which he said the articles found in his bat had been there without his knowledge. Four persons of great respectability, with some of whom the prisoner had had dealings in trade, gave hips a most excellent character, some of them deposing to his habit of placing his hat and handkerchief down in the manner described by the witnesses for the prosecu tion.—The Jury, after consulting for an hour, returned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended the prisoner to mercy, on the ground of his previous good character, in* which the prosecutor joined. • The DRPUTT RECORDER said, the prisoner should not be sent out of the country, and that he should receive tie most lenient sentence possible. The Sessions being over, the Recoansa proceeded to pass sentence urea the prisoners convicted.

Petrick Amen was indicted for assaulting Mary Gregory, with intent to commit a capital offence. It appeared from the girl's statement, that the defendant had lodged at her father's house for nearly a twelve month, at a rent of 2s. per week. On the day - named in the indictment, the defendant and sbe being alone in the kitchen, he put his hands round her neck, and attempted to kiss her. She repelled his familiarities, upon ;visa he threw her upon the bed, where she struggled against him, and ultimately succeeded in getting away from him. However, he again caught hold of her, and she again got away. She then seized the poker, and swore she would knock him down if be touched her again.— Whereupon he ran after her, but his foot slipping, be fell on his back, and she taking advantage of his pros trate position, turned upon him, and belaboured him about the face and head most unmercifully with the poker, the marks of which were still suificiently apparent on his face. He got up as quickly as he could, and abused and kicked the girl until some persons came to her assistance. Her evidence was partially corroborated by the testimony of a neighbour, who had been attracted by her screams, and who deposed to the marks and bruises on her limbs. The defence attempted to be set up was, that the girl had promised to marry the prisoner, but on the day in question she came and sat on his knee, and then told him she had changed her mind. 'He insisted on her stating her reason, and would not permit her to lean his knee until she did so, and this it was that gave rise to the gunnel. This statement, however, was not sup-' ported by any evidence, and flatly contradicted by the prosecutriz. The Jury found the defendant Guilty, and he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment in the House of ' Correction. The cases having been all gone thtougl the Court adjourned to Thursday, the 261 at 5 o'clock instant. Twetvrn or JOLT.—We have made selections from the Irish country Papers and from some of our private letters, regarding the preceedinv'of the Orangemen last Thursday. In Ennisktlea, though there was much excitement, happily no lives sviere lost. The Orange men had also b :ofires, but though the alarm among the quiet and well disposed was considerable, little mischief appears to have been done. In Newry and other places where Orange processions took place, we , are also happy to flail that tranquillity was not tlisttubcd. POLICE INTELLIGENCE..
