SURREY SPRING ASSIZES. KINGSTON, Ana S. Before the Loss Cams Bosom. WRITS AND OTHIRS V. SHARP. This was an action which excited considerable inte rest, from its involving the right of the public to one half of the very ample pavement in part of Blackfriars road ; and it was brought by the plaintiffs, Messrs. hite and Green well, ;extenshe linendrapers, against the defendant, the Beadle to the Commissioners of the Christ Church Local Act, for a trespass in entering upon the plaintiff; premises, and taking away their goods. The defend.nt had seized, as a nuisance, two large packs of goods, which the plaintiffs had placed upon the pavement indhchately in front of their house, under aright insisted upon by them to the path extending for ten feet in width. It appeared by the 'statement of Mr. Baortarmc, with whom were Messrs. PIATt and Tneasioss, that Blackfriars•road (now named-Great Surrey-street) was formed and regulated by the 9th George 111. and that iis management was handed down by carious Acts of Parliameat to the present trn.tees of the Surrey New R cads ; that the local Act under which the defendant ac ed was only passed in 1811, and contained in it an espie;s re e vation the powers of the road trustees, that the rights of the public extended only to the car riage road of shay feet, and footpaths on each side of ten leer in width, comprising the whole space of eighty) feet, which the first trustees were cliginally em-1 po a ered to purchase, and that the plaintiffs had not iufsinged upon the public path ; that although the pro. prietars of the ground skirting the sides of the road were prohibited from building within ten feet of the path, and had, is consequence, placed back their houses that space upon their own ground, yet that the area of ten lea t was private property, and that many parts ofaihe road were atill inclosed by an iron railing and sunken areas; that eater since the plaintiffs house was built hr; 1785..tbe area of ten feet iu front had been made level, with the public path, and had been u ed by the various occupiers by placing out their goods upon it; and that the occasional use of it by the public on Sundays, or in net weather, and of passing between the goods, was not such a dedication to the public as would justify the act complained ef, or divest the occupiers of the houses of the ten feet area demised by the original lessor, much less that of the owner of the f_e to tint space of ground, which t'te le.-er was bound to surrender at the capita. ti-.n of his lease. It appease& that the Christ Church Commissioners had, in 1811, first a . trnipted jurisdiction over the pi e de path, by cutting down the short posts that then sna.ked its limits, and that a conviction obtained by them under their Act for the occupation of the ten feet bad, upon argument at the Quarter Sessions, been qtiashed upon the merits ; and that The Trotters of the Roads had met with no better success in recent at tempts to establish the right of the public to the path in qu!stion. The evidence far the plaintiffs fully establiaheil the case. as stated, and their right to the exclusive use of the locus in Quo; and Messrs. GuRNEY and CHITTY, for the delendai,t, con eated to a verdict for 411. 18s.. the value of the goods seized. BURY, Aran. 8. I illinut Clitennole, aged 18, was indicted for utt. lawfully and maliciously setting fire to a stack of clover, in the parish of Leathetingham, the property of James Glanfield and others. Will am Platt stated, that he was at work in a barn near the stack at the time it caught fire, and the pri soner had been in conversation with him about five mi nutes before the alarm was made; the prisoner went out with witness, and was very active in his desire to eatin. guish the flames. William French stated that he was the first to dis cover the Brutes. His cottage is just by, but there was no fire in it at the time, and none of his children were at home. Suspicion fell on the prisoner because he was the only person v ho was seen near the remises. When taken before the Justice, the prisoner said it could not be him, as behad not the means of doing it. Several witnesses, however, proved that an the day in question the prisoner had flint, steel, and tinder `•:`..ht1(: , 76 allow him. Mr. Baron Vatonsin stimmed up* the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict of The Learned Baron. - then, in an impressive manner, passel sentence of death upon the prisoner—a sentence which, he told him, would most certainly be enforced. The prisoner was perfectly unmoved during the Judge's address. OXFORD ClRCUlT—Gtouctaraa* cistat• c ,I/I•••-• WA LLIS, Zala. V. IHRILET, ESQ. Mt. Tent/zoo (with Rhein were Mr. C. PHILLIPS and Mt, PH ILLPOTTS) stated the circumstances that compelled the plaintiff to come into a Conic of Justice. The plaintiff was a gentleman who had resided for about five years at Tibberton-court, 'near Gloucester. He ti as a Magistrate of that county, and beloved by all who knew him. In early life Mr. Wallis had been in the navy, and had had the honour to be Se. csetary to Lord Nelson. He had served at Copenhagen, and basin; been promoted to the rank of a purser, be was ultimately appointed prize agent at JAVA, where he amassed so much property as to enable him to come home at tl:e time of the peace, and live hi a sea e of affluence. On his returned to England be became ac quainted with thefamily of Lady Bolton, who bad two daughters, one of whom Mr. Wallis married in the year 1816. Mr. Wallis was then S 8 years of age, Miss Bolton being 18. She was young, beautiful, and ac complished, and, what was far more desirable, she was virtuous. Ft om the year 1816 to the yearlBlB they lived at an estate of Mrs. Wallis's, called 'Putts Hill, near Chepstow. and during this time,' and even down to the cause of the present action, it would be proved by friends who visited them, and by servants who were dounesti. cased with them, that nothing could exceed the harmony upon which they lived together, and that nothing could ' ' surpass the affection of Mr. Wallis, nor the way in which that affection was repaid by his wife. In the autumn of the year 1826, they bad been at Abet istwyth, u e they had become acquainted with Mr.:and Mrs. lifsmidt, who, in consequence of the intimacy that then gusted between them, were invited to make a visit at Tibberton•court. The defendant seas die - brolly* of him Goldsmidt, and he was invited with his brother-in-law' acid sister to Tibberton, where be enjoeed the hcapi. tality of Mr. Wallis's house, aid the pleasure . of sport ing over his estates. It was a remarkable feattwe to this' case, that Mrs. Wallis was a person least of all likely to have taken the step she had ; for it would appear, that so far from having the slightest levity in her con duct, she appeared to strangers to be rather told and repulsive. Indeed, during a period of two years, there was nothing . to lead to the slightest suspicion of any improper Intimacy subsisting between Mrs. Wallis and the defendant; and the plaintiff defied the other side to show that there was ever any deficiency of at tention is Mr. Wallis towards his wife, or that there ever was the slightest negligence on his past In the autumn of the year 1828, Mr. and Mrs. Wallis contemplated taking a tour on the Continent, and with that view Mr. Wallis disposed of his house at Tibberton Court, and proceeded with his wife to Cheltenham, to stay till they went on their tour abroad. There they met Mr. Birket end Mr.and Mrs. Goldsmidt. Before he stated what occurred at Chel tenham, he ought to inform the Jury that Mrs. Wallis had some separate property of her own, which by the marriage settlement she had the power of disposing of by will. Now he was in a condition to lay before them her will, dated so lately as the year 1825, by which she left the whole of this property to her husband for bis life, and after his decease to any children _be might have by a second wife. At Cheltenham Mr. Sir ket was only once alone in company with Mrs. V al lis, and that was when Mrs. Wallis rode out on horseback, attended by her groom, but nothing then occurred to excite suspicion ; on the 14th of October the Quarter Sessions at Gloucester were held, and Mr. Wallis, being a Magistrate, came to Glouces ter to attend these Sessions. He made an arrangement to dine at home, and had actually invited the defendant to dine with him and partake of his hospitality. The invi tation was accepted; but it would be proved that at 10 o'clock on the morning of that day, Mr. Birket,wbo kept two carriages, set out in one of them towards the Eve. sham-road, and when he got beyond the new Church at Cheltenham be overtook Mrs. Wallis. On coming apt° her the defendant got out of the carriage and said, " My dear, no time must be delayed;" to which, after bursting into a aloud of tears, she replied, or rather she sobbed out the words, "I can't go—l can't leave." This was the last gasp of conjugal affection; the defendant imme- 1 diately banded her into the carriage, and they pro. ceeied to Evesham, eirough Alcester to Leamington, *lime they took up their residence for five days,passing, as man and wife, under the assumed name of Mr. and' Mrs. Vernon. At the end of the five days,Mr.Chadbons, accompanied by a police officer, proceeded thither, and conducted Mrs. W. not to her offended h sband,but to the protection of her mother, Lady Bolton. She was brought back, and it was impossible to account for estrangements such as these, but the Jury would hardly believe that, such was the perversion of this lady's mind, that she' went away igain, and was now in company with Mr. Birket. These were the facts of the ease, and they were without the slightest circumstance of alleviation, for it would be found friendship was betrayed. hospitality violated, and innocence seduced. The plaintiff came forward with every possible claim for redress, while the defendant had net one single topic in mitigation to urge. Ample compensation the plaintiff never could have, as no compensation could repay him for the anguish he had undergone; but still such recompense as be could have, he -s as quite sure the Jury would give him- A number of most respectable witnesses were then called, and proved that Mr. and Mrs. Wallis had, since their marriage in 1816, lived together in the most per. feet harmony—that Mr. Wallis behaved to his wife with mach affection, and they never observed the slightest want of attention or the least impropriety on his part. Mss Wallis was very regular in attending Divine Service onSucday,and she also received the sacrament frequently. They never observed any thing that at all led *le to suppose that she was a woman of levity of conduct.; Mr. Wallis kept a very handsome establishment, three maid, servants and three men servants, two carriages, a gig, two saddle horses, and two carriage horses. He also kept a gardener and a gamekeeper. Mr. and Mrs. Wallis kept a good deal of company—Magistrates and Clergymen, their families, and also friends from Lon. don. At the time when Mrs. Wallis was ill, her hue. band appeared to be very attentivirto her, and seemed very anxious about her. After the elopement he sio - almost distracted. Some of Mr. Wallis's servants who were examined said, that about six years ago Mr. Wallis was at Par* and he left his wile there at an Hotel with a lady's maid and a valet, while he came home upon business. She was at Paris without him for nine months, and when she came home Mr. Wallis was n t the less atten tive to her. The lady's maid stated, she had heard Mrs. Wallis say, that it -any one was blessed with a good husband, she was. She never saw Mr. Dii ket alone with her mistress, and saw no more attention paid by her to him than a well bled Lady would pay to her husband's friend. Richard Hughes, a post•bny at the George Inn, at Cheltenham, said-1 know Mr. Baden; his cattiage stood at our house; 1 received an older to put horses to the carriage, and bring it to his residence ; that was on the 14th of October; I went with the car. riage at eleven in the forenoon; I was ordered to drive to Evesham. When we started there was no out in the carriage but Mr. Btiket, and a servant on the boa ; when we got to the new church I ob served a Lady; she was standing still near the hedge, side; when the carriage got near her Mr. Birket said Pull up; I did so, and he gm out of the carriage and went o►er to the Lady at the hedge side;- they were in con versation a few minutes; he took her by theband; she was cryinA. and had a handkerchief before her face, and she said—" I can't go, I can't leave." He took her by the aim and kissed her twice, as they stood at the toad side, and then hansied her into the carriage, say ing 6 4 there is no time to be lost, my dear." He then got into the carriage himself, and I drove them to Evesham, which is a distance of 16 miles. Site had no luggage. 1 beard him order horses for Worcester.

Aleester, a.d, finally, to Lea mington, and they stopped at 14. Union Parade. Mrs. Elizabeth Woodhouse. wiled Mr. Woodhoesse, of the Union-parade. at Leamington, said, on the 14th of October a Gentleman and Lady came in a carriage to my house; the Gentleman looked at the lodgings., and after spcsking to the Lady, he took them at three guineas and a half a week; he was to have a dining ro m, clawing room, two bed rooms, and a dressing room ; both bed tooms were on the second Boor ; the man servant slept in the front bed room ; and the Gentleman and Lady slept in the back bed room ; a dinner was sent for to the Regent Hutel ; I sent for it in the name of Rirket. because I saw that name on a box; but the answer back from the hotel was that the aim= bad brew mined in the iiii•rof Vases; in coo. sequence cisme suspicions I hid I woof , into titir bed room and found a pair of stockings marked 14 A • Mr. Chadborn, and other mitt esses, proved hiving discovered the pasties at Leamington, and that they brought her back to Giltrocesver, and placed het in charge of her mother. Lady Bolton. It was also proved that the property which Mrs. Wallis had the power of disposing by will was wenh betweea 2 0008. m 411,0001. a year. It was also proved that *r. Barka was 23 years of age. Mr. CAMMLL addressed the Jury for the defendant. He said that bis client deeply regretted what had passed. and was ready to admit that the plaintiff was a much injured man. The defendant was a very young am, not 2$ years of age, and although he had o ff e nded against the laws of Goo and • man. he submitted that his conduct was net of that aggravated character which had bean described. He did not think that that en thusiastic affection subsisted between the parties which had been described, for Mr. Wallis was twenty years older than his wife. He had, at one period, treated her with ind.fference in having her at an hotel in Paris, with no one to take care of her but servants. He thought that Mr. Wallis had acted rather indelicately in allots ing his young wife to settle her property not only upon him, but upon the children he was to have by soother wife after she was in her grave. without leaving anything either to her mother, her sister, or any of her relations. Assailer topic of mitigation - was, that there was no adulterous intercourse carried on under the roof of her husband. There was no child to mourn MIS. Wallies loss—no child to remind Mr. Wallis of his misfortune. Why, therefore, should a Jury award exemplary damages? Was it because Mr. Birket remained still kind to Mrs. Wallis, and that, after she had once left him, he brought her back and aff trded her an asy lum? That, be submitted, was a circumstance in his favour. Did this in any way inflict additional injury on Mr. Wallis? He could not take her back; and, as she had lost her station in society, Mr. Birket did right to afford her protection. The character of Mr. Wallis had been established, and the verdict would enable him to have recourse to a remedy by which the ties that united him to Mrs. Wallis would be for ever dissolved. That was all he could require. as his fortune was ample; and, if the Jury should award heavy da mages, the verdict would operate upon the defendant as a sentence of perpetual imprisonment, as he was irsoo situation to pay them. Mr. Justice PAR[ said, that the facts of the case being clearly made out, the question was merely what ought to be the amount of daasages the plaintiff was entitled to recover. In considering ,, this question. the conduct of the husband and wife, tiepre the latter felt in the trap of this seducer. was most material. The Learned Counsel for the defendant has said that there was no evidence of the property of the defendant.— There certainly was not ; but it had been alwayl; laid down is a rule, that those who could not vas in their purses should pay in their persons—and if Oh , defen dant could not pay, let him go to gaol. Was it to be endured that this person should go about with his open carriage and bis two footmen, seducing men's wives, and then say. go Oh, pray let ink off, for I have no money to pay damages?" Then it was said that the Lady was 31, and this young Gentlemen only 23. It , she had been the seducer, it would be a great mitiga- I don ; and if this were the case of a lascivious woman, who bad by her stets seduced a mere bOy—and it is very difficult to withstand the arts of an artful wo man—small damages would suffice; but then look at the evidence. Was she the seducer? The evidence of It. Hughes showed that she was crying, and did not like to leave, but that the defendant was persuading her to go. However, there was but one thing that made it seem that Mr. Wallis did not live so well with his wife, which was this—that he left his wife in France by herself for nine months. I, said the Learned Judge, would not have done such a thing for all the world ; however. I am sorry to say that a great many foolish people of late years, keep rennin abroad, and taking their wives and fami lies with them, spending their money there, which they had much better have spent in their own coun try. But then this was six years ago ; and since that time they had it proved that Mu. Wallis had made a will in favour Of het husband. These were some of the points urged in the defence. Theo how did thecase stand? It was presets! that two years ago the defendant became acquainted With the plaintiff—that he was re ceived at his house, and visited there from time to time, till the affections of this Lady, who had up to that time been a virtuous woman, were • entirely estranged from her husband. This was the case; and the damages were matter entirely for the tonsiderati—n cf the Jury.— Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, £2.000. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, APRIL 9.

Mr. CLAAKSON, at the sitting of the Court, applied for a postponement of the vial of Afous Jacobs, charged i with arson.
