A farmer, of the name of Jacob, left a child 13 years of age, ill in bed, and went out to his work. On 116 return the boy was found dead with blows of a hammer. The murderer, for sometime undetected, was found to be an old woman, who added robbery to murder. She was not seen going into the house, and only was suspected by the use of words which betrayed her guilt. She denied the crime on her trial. She was found guilty, and condemned to forced labour for life. Saturday Captain PARRY commissioned the HECLA, at Deptford, the fitting out of which commences di rectly, for the voyage to Spitsbergen.

CRIM. CUN. WSDS V. 110111 VIS. Saturday, ROBERT SAVAGE, Esq. Assessor, and a respectable Jury, assembled at the York House, Bath, for the purpose of assessing the damages in this case, which was an action for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. The defendant had suffered judgment to go by default. Damages were laid at 50001. Mr. F. WILLIAMS, with whom was Mr. SMITH, stated the case for the plaintiff, a respectable solicitor, residing in the city of Bath. The Learned Counsel, after alluding to the principal facts of the case, dwelt with great animation upon the serious nature of the crime of adultery. “For my part," said Mr. Williams, 4 4 whenever a case of this description comes into my bands, be the situation of the offender high or low—be the offence fashionable or act fashionable, I will never fail to hold up this crime to public odium and execra tion." He could not imagine any character more truly despicable than that of a shameless adulterer, who meanly stole to the fireside of his neighbour, drinking his wine, and robbing him of his domestic peace. Per. haps, however, it would be asserted by the Counsel on the other side, that Mr. Webb had not treated his wife with proper attention, and that she was an abandoned character, therefore her husband could not fairly claim any damages for the loss of the services of such a wo• man. With respect to the first assertion, he had evi dence the most satisfactory and respectable, to shew that Mr. and Mrs. Webb, up to the unhappy affair, had lived together in the utmost harmony and happiness ; and as to the latter, was it manly, was it generous, in the man who had rioted in the bosom of his victim, to turn round and reproach her with that which had made her a wretch and an outcast till the grave should cover her ? But if she had been guilty, did that lessen the guilt of the defendant? What was the answer of one of the Learned Judges, when such a plea was offered in mitigation? 66 What !" said he, •6 because my wife is criminal, is a person to be allowed to make her still more so with impunity ? Does her character at all ' lessen the guilt of her seducer ? No, it does not; and I hold his conduct equally unpardonable in the sight both of GOD and man." After a few other general observations, the Learned Counsel proceeded to call witnesses. The principal evidence of the adulterous connection was Mr. Edw. Webb, the son of Mrs. Webb, a young man of about 18. From his testimony it appeared, that on the Bth of December last he and his father went to Box, a village near Bath, on some necessary business. The day proving wet, they returned to Mr: ebb's house on Sion-hill much earlier than usual. Mr. Hebb, sen. remained down stairs; whilst his son went upstairs, where he heard the noise of creaking boots, and found his mother in the drawing room much agitated, and busily engaged in locking the bed-room door. There was wine and fruit upon the table. The youth suspected what was going on, but his mother entreated him not to say any thing to his father, " as he would make such a noise about it." The young man, however, did go to his father, to inform him of the circum,tance, and in the mean time the de endant Hooper (an entire stranger to Mr. We'oo) and another person of the nadir of Smallcombe, who bad been enjoying themselves in the drawing too u with Mrs. Webb, retreated to a brd•roon. up stairs, where they locked themselves in. Mr. Webb, sen. and his son, the former armed with a cavalry sword, and the latter with a sword-stick, then sallied up stairs. Mr. Webb, however, threw aside the sword, and said, , the would give the intruder a d—d good thrashing with a stick." The door was then broken open, when Hooper and his companion made their escape, but not before the former had received a few severe blows from the injured husband. This was the only evidence to establish the fact of adultery; but it appeared that Mrs. Webb had been suspected of having been criminally connected with a person of the name of B iyntun, formerly a clerk is the service of her hus band, and also with two other professional Gentlemen. It was also attempted to be proved that she had been in the habit of going out in man's clothes, but there was no evidence to establish this. It was elicited, however, that the plaintiff, since this unhappy affair, had stated that Hooper and Smallcombe had met Mrs. Webb, and a servant of the name of Backer (who had been deli vered of a child), and that Hooper had then connection with the one, and Smallcombe with the other. Two or three moat respectable witnesses swore, that up to this affair Mr. and Mrs. Webb had lived together in the utmost conjugal happiness and comfort. Mr. LUDLOW (with whom was Mr. PALMaR) ad dressed the Jury in mitigation of damages. He did not profess to cast the slightest stigma upon the character of Mr. Webb, whose conduct, on all occasions, had been that of an upright man and affectionate husband ; nor did he mean to defend the crime of adultery,which, so far as he could judge, was as little prevalent in Bath as in any other city in the empire; but he did think there were circumstances of mitigation attend ing the present case, which ought to induce the Jury to give merely nominal damages. If this had been one (if those occurrences which were, alas ! but too common in this country, where the seducer enjoying the confidence of his friend and the regard of his family, basely employed these as the means of debauching his wife, and destroying. his friend's happiness for ever, then he would admit that the heaviest damages the Jury could allow would not be more than the offence demanded. But when it was not proved that the parties were previously acquainted—when it was not even shewn that Hooper knew Mrs. Webb to have been a married woman, he did think these facts ought to weigh well with the Jury in awarding their verdict. There was certainly no accounting fer tastes, but he thought the introduction of the son, as a witness against his mother, displayed very bad taste indeed, to say the least of it. In some cases, propter necessitate*: on account of the in dispensable necessity of producing such a witness to prove the case, it might be overlooked ; but here ) when the facts to which he had deposed could have been as easily established by the servant, Ann Backer, his at tendance might surely have been dispensed with. With respect to the evidence produced to shew that Mrs. Webb, up to this unhappy affair, had conducted herself in all respects as a chaste and virtuous woman, would it not have been as well to have called in some of the neigh bours, instead of resorting to persons living at Bristol, and others who had little communication with the par ties, to shew that she lived happily with her tusband ? Could the Jury believe that a woman, who had con ducted herself in a way that would scarcely be ex hibited in a common brothel, where they met promis cuously—could they, he repeated, believe that she, upon the Bth of December last, should have been the most chaste and virtuous of wives, and that her husband should not have suspected her ? Was it likely that she should have risen at nine o'clock on the morning of that day, one of the most exemplary of women, and that at half after three in the afternoon, she should have sunk so low into the abyss of infamy, as had been proved ? Mr. Hooper must indeed have been a powerful man to effect such a change in so short a period. There was a very excellent and just Latin motto, Nemo repente fuit turpis simus, no one ever became very base all at once—it was done by steps, and, therefore, it was not probable that Mrs. Webb had descended by one step only. In his opinion, also, the circumstance of the plaintiff throwing aside the sword, and threatening to give the defendant a good thrashing, chewed that his suspicions had been aroused, and it was, therefore, for the Jury to say, under all the facts, what injury he had sustained in the loss of such a woman; it was certainly better to get rid of her at any price. The Jury, after a long consultation, assessed the damages at 1001. The case excited very great interest, and lasted for some hours. DOVER, Nov. 19.—Yesterday his Grace the Duke of HAMM]. and BsAunow, who had been detained at the Ship Hotel on account of the badness of the weather, sailed in his Majesty's packet the RIM 13111011 TON, Nov. 16.—A ball, at the Old Ship Rooms, upon the plan of Almack's, took place on Tuesday evening, at which about 300 fashionables attended. The Duke of BIDIPOIID took an airing on horseback this morning, and his usual bath at Molineux's j his Grace's health obviously improves. Lord FITZWILLIAM left Wentworth-house en Tuesday for London, to attend his Parliamentary duties in the House of Peers; and Lord Muson and his family left Wentworth for Milton, about a fortnight ago. Tile " Tales of a Voyager," announced for publica tion, are rep•rted to be written by an " experienced hand," though the Author is determined not to avow himself. We think, however, that when his work becomes known, he will have not a little difficulty in maintaining his incognito. The stories, we un derstand, are not aU nautical, though a ship is the place of their nar ration. They embrace a great variety of subjects, and are said to be written with singular vigour. A kind of hurricane passed over Paris in the night of the 19th to the 14th instant, which extended its ravages far and wide. In the environs of Troyes, it threw down and uprooted, immense trees, and in the Commercial Dock at Have, six vessels ran ashore, after experiencing considerable damage. Poor Barnard, late of Drury•lane Theatre, is now walking barefoot through the Metropolis—he is ragged and houseless. We know the calls that the Ladies and Gentlemen of both Establishments have on them, but if any of his former friends would interest themselves, a few pence, weekly, front each performer, would be suf ficient to remove this unfortunate from perishing in the streets ; and really, from his appearance, we cannot pre sume he will long be a burden on their charity. VINTRY WARD.—A legal question has been started, as to whether the new Lord Mayor or the late Lord Mayor should preside at the wardmote, to be held for the purpose of conducting a scrutiny into the votes taken by the latter at the former wardmote for the election of an Alderman. By custom, it is understood the Lord Mayor for the time being presides at all wardmotes for the election of Aldermen. The question was submitted to the Solicitor General, the Recorder, and the Common Sergeant, who have unanimously declared, that, upon the late Lord Mayor giving up the minutes and other documents. relative to the election to the present Lord Mayor, the latter will be qualified to continue the proceedings. This opinion was reported to his Lordship yesterdebond he issued a..precept for a wardmote on Friday, to ctimmence the scrutiny demanded by . Mr. IVilde. THE ARMY.
