LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Julie 9. RICKETS V. J. P. J DRILL, ESQ. This was an action for goods sold, and work done, for the Athenaion institution, in Regent-street, by the plaintiff, who was an it mmonger. The ATTORNEY GENERAL said. that the defendant. who was a highly respectable Gentleman, was Presi dent of the Athenaion Institution. The plaintiff's de mand was for lamps supplied to the Institution, and for iron work. The defendant had, as President, signed the resolution ordering the goods and work. William Young proved, that the defendant was the President of the Institution, and had signed the re solution. Thomas Anderson proved that the lamps had been delivered, and chat work had been done to the amount of 971.55. 6d. The defendant told him he would take care the plaintiff should be paid. Mr. GURNEY admitted, that the defendant, who was a Gentleman of fortune, was liable. He was in his 90th year, and had been persuaded to become President of the Society by some designing persons, with a view to make him responsible beyond any thing he had ever contemplated. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 371. ss. 6d. THOMAS •. NEWTON. This was an action by the endorsee of a bill of ex change dated the 2d of September, drawn by John Tucker, for 501. payable three months after date, and accepted by the defendant. Mr. MARRYAT, for the plaintiff, called Mr. Wilson, who proved the handwriting of the defendant and of Tucker. Mr. GURNEY, for the defendant, said the bill arose out of stock exchange transactions, and was given for differences. Mr. Tucker, the drawer, was a stock broker, and had had several time bargains with the defendant. On the settling day there was a balance of 501. due from the defendant, for which he accepted this bill, and they then agreed to continue the same account until the next settling day. When that day arrived, the price of stocks had varied so much, that the defendant, instead of being a loser by the account, found himself a gainer of nearly 2001. and he applied for the nv , ney, but Tucker refuted to pay him. Tucker had endorsed the bill to a Mr. Bambridge, and he had endorsed to the plaintiff. This was to enable the plain tiff to recover, which it was clear Tucker could not, as the consideration for the acceptance was illegal. No consideration had been proved, although the plaintiff had been served with notice to prove it, and he (Mr. Gurney) should call Tucker and Bambridge to shew aceptance was for an illegal-consideration. Mr. Tucker—The accounts by which the balance of 501. from the defendant had arisen, were shewn to the witness, and he was asked if they were not stock trans actions, but he declined answering the question, as his answer might subject him to a gui fare action, for 5001. Witness passed the bill to Bambridge, and re ceived value for it. He had had many transactions with Bambridge. He could not say whether he had received cash for it, or whether it was given in balance of an account. Bambridge and he had had stock transactions, and he would not swear that those transactions did not form part of the account. Mr. Henry Jacobs proved set vice of notice for the plaintiff to prove the consideration. Mr. MARRYAT, in reply, regretted that evidence of the consideration could not be obtained from Mr. Tucker, but contended that nothing had been adduced to impeach the plaintiff's title to the bill. He would call Bambridge, whom Mr. Gurney had declinerkalling, to prove the plaintiff had given consideration. Mr. Bambridge was called, but did not answer. Lord TENTERDEN said, there was no evidence that the plaintiff gave value, and it seems to me, as between Tucker and Newton, there was no consideration.— Whether any consideration passed between Bambridge and Tucker depends upon the testimony of Tucker.— If you think Bambridge did give value for the bill to Tucker, then you ought to find for the plaintiff ; if you think no legal consideration passed between them, the defendant is entitled to your verdict. While the Jury were deliberating, Mr. MARRYAT and Mr. GURNEY were conferring together, and the Jury found a verdict for the defendant, at the same time that they said they had agreed to withdraw a juror. Lord Tenterden said both voices reached his ear at the same moment. We understand the verdict was to stand. 11.1:CAS V. DOWN. This was an action on a bill of exchange for 61. 10,. dated 10th September, 1825, drawn by the father of the plaintiff, accepted by the defendant, and endorsed to the plaintiff. Mr. KELLY called Thomas Gibbon, who proved the band-writing of the parties. Mr. CARRINGTON for the defendant. The plaintiff took the bill from his father when it was overdue and dishonoured, which makes the bill no better in his hands than in the hands of the original drawer, Lucas senior, who gave no consideration for it. A Mr. Dawkins - had two pigs, which were sold at a public house to the elder Lucas, who aft rwards sold them for 71. to Mr. Newin, who paid lOs. earnest, and afterwaids paid the re mainder, 61. 101. but Mr. Lucas and the other parties thought it best to arrange a party to Barnet fair,.where they all went, and in that expedition the money was spent. Mr. Lucas was in great dtead of his wile, who suspected that he had been at the fair, and he procured the delendant to accept the bill, to enable him to deceive her, and conceal from her the frolic of the fair. Richard Townley—l was present when the bill was accepted ; no money passed. Old Mr. Lucas said, " We have all been to Barnet Fair, I can't go home ; I ami afraid of my wife; I have spent my money; you must give me a bill that I may ease her mind at home." The bill was, at Lucas's desire, dated four days back, and was given about a week after Barnet fair. The pigs were sold on the Sunday before the fair. Cross examined—l was vresent when the pigs were slid to Newin. He paid 10s. deposit on 71. and the re• m iinder was to be paid the next morning. I have not heard from the defendant that the 61. 10E. was paid to him. They all went in a coach together to Barnet fair. Lucas the elder, Gibbon, the defendant, himself (the w•itnes,), and a man named Halls. Philip Dawkins—l was owner of the pigs. The bill was in my hands when it became due. 1 received it from old Mr. Lucas. It was dishonoured, and I re turned it to him. Mr. KELLY, for the plaintiff, called Mr. Gibbon, who was present when the pigs were sold to Newin. The next morning Newin fetched them away, and paid the 6/.los. to the defendant, and.old Lucas did not get a farthing of the money. Lucas asked the defendant for the money, who's:aid he could not pay it, but he would give a bill for it, and Ile gave the present bill. I was of the party to Barnet fair, but old Lucas'clid not go. Cross-examined—Nothing was said about the wife•a f Mi. Lucas being out of temper and angry with him, nor I about the bill given to deceive her. Mr. New in—l purchased the pigs, and paid the W. 10s. to the defendant. . . . Mr. Lucas, sen.—The bill was accepted by the de- 1 fendant for the 61. 10.. which be had received. I did not go to Barnet Fair, or participate in the spending of one farthing of the money, nor was one farthing of it paid with my permission. When I asked the defendant for the money, he said he bad no money, and I said give me a bill. Lord Tairrsanzir—Will you observe upon this, Mt. Carrington 2 Mre CAaaINOTON—I am in your Lordship's hands. Lord TiNTIRDZX — Then I think you are beat. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 71. 1114411 %\ . • kA4. .` • OLD BAILEY, Joss 8.

Saturday Sawn Smith, a young woman, only shortly arrived In London from the country, was charged before the Loan MAYOR with stealing, on the night before, the bonnet of Mrs. Anne Stewart, of Holiven, as she was crossing London-bridge. Mrs. Stewart stated that the prisoner met her about ten o'clock, near the bridge, and followed her for some time. When about midway over, she snatched at and ran away with het bonnet, value 50s. Witness called stop thief, and the prisoner was very shortly secured. Whilst running, she flung the bonnet over the bridge into the Thames.— The prisoner sail not a word in her defence, and was fully coat mhted for trial. _ It was only on Friday that this unfortunate woman applied for relief at the Mansion House; and, as she appeared to be in great distress, the Lotto MATO' ordered care to be taken of her until she could be sent home by a stage coach, And that some money should be given her to prows her necessary refreshment on the way. As anon, however, as she was informed the money would not bA given to herself, but to the guard of the coach, she contrived to ge• Away from the officer who was taking care of her, and meeting some de praved companions in the street, they gave her some liquor, and in duced her to commit the robbery fur which she stands committed. Michael Moore was brought up for examination, charged with stealing a coat, the property of John Cokeley. The prosecutor, on being interrogated as to his profession, replied that he was a " tailor by trade." He then detailed the story of his wrongs; from which it appeared, that the prisonet had succeeded in gaining the affections of his better half, which caused them to lead a cat-and-dog sort of a life; that his rib, on one occasion, gave the prisoner a pair of blue kerseymere nomentimsolus; and a piece of black cloth, with which the coat was made; that he met the prisoner on Friday, with the coat.on ; and thinking, under such aggravated circumstances, that patience ceased to be a virtue, he challenged him with the robbery —gave him in charge to an officer, and sans ceremanie, took the coat from his back. Poor Saip, however, could not swear to the cloth ; and, accordingly, he was ordered to give op the coat, which he did, and left the Justice Room, amidst the laughter of the bystanders. GUILDHALL. Saturday, Smart, the turnkey of Newgate, brought up the wife of a prisoner, who bad been acquitted upon an indictment for felony, on the ground that be was Insane, but had been ordered to be de. tained; she was examined as to her husband's settlement, in order that his parish may bear the expense of his detention in a Lunatic Asylum—Sir Prix' Layette asked Smart whether he and the other turnkey, who had suffered Ikey Solomon, to escape, still re tained their situations in Newgate? Smart replied that they did. Sir Press thought that an officer se indiscreet as to accept brandy and water (with which some stupifying drug had been mixed) from his prisoner, deserved immediate dinnission. As, however, he (Smart) had been examined before the Court of Aldermen, be would refrain from putting any questions td him now. Wm. Jones and G. Jenks were charged by an officer on suspicion of baying stolen a box from a cart in Gracechurchstreet, on the 19th of Play last, containing female dresses, five sovereigns, a ham, and other things.—Remanded. Betty Dyer, a drunken old woman, was charged with disorderly behaviour at the house of the Overseer of a Parish in London-wall, to which she belongs. The Parish Officers were content to keep her in the Workhouse, but she wanted an allowance of money in stead, to which the Overseers refused to accede, knowing, from past experience, that she would spend her week's allowance in gin In a few hours. Betty had been a teacher in a Methodistleal Sun day School, and her prayer to the Alderman. now was, that the Overseers might give her money enough to set her up with a stock of religious tracts. The Overseer said, that although she was the most depraved, drunken creature, he knew she was, at the same time, the most canting. Betty threw herself upon her knees, and begged bard for forgiveness, but the Magistrate committed her fer fourteen days. HATTON-GARDEN. Saturday Elisrtbeth Rogers was charged by Miss Fagan with throwing boiling water and red•hot coals over her, at No. 17,10m street, Gray's Inn-lane, the previous evening. On the day In ques tion, being out for a holiday, she called at the prisoner's house, where Mr. Rogers asked her, as his wife bad gone out on a vi.it,to make tea for him. Sbe did so, and took a cup herself ; but, just as she was putting away the things, Mrs. Rogers entered in a great rage, accused her of assuming her exclusive prerogative, seised the fire-shovel, and threw at her a quantity of burnins coals from the grate, kneed her down stairs, and flung after her the belling tea-kettle ; by which she was severely burnt and scalded, and with great difficulty escaped with her life.—The defendant said, she had been to see her friends at Peckbara, and having re turned sooner than she had promised, she caught the complainant (a former rival) in her bed-room, with her husband, under very sus picious circuntstanees.—The defendant's husband assured the blagisttate there was not the slightest fouodation for his wife's suspicion, and the modern Xantlppe was ordered to find bail. MARY-LA-BONNE Saturday, Frenois Allis Dion, a French actor, belonging to the Theatre in lottenham-court-road, was gharged with ill-treating Emilia Mhz Duon, a pretty little English wonTian, who is his wife: The Lady accused the Gentleman of beating and kicking her the night before, and that morning, and the Gentlemen attempted to justify his conduct i for, said he,* Vett de Totten, de vile, take de !UM, of beating his husband, den de husband mit best de vii. in cetera" Mr. Hoscues--No. no; that won't - do. If yo Can arrange it, well and good ; It not, you must find bail. Boon—Well,M. but I ant In de habit of being beat by my vile. She beat me !gat night, and von month ago, for de first time. Mr. Mosconi—Go into the other room, and see if you can settle it. Although no chance of reconciliation appeared, and Mr. Hoskins suspended the warrant for a fortnight, to give time for arrangement, as aeon as M. Doom was told that he might leave the office, he offered his arm to his wife, which the Lady cheerfully accepted, and they went away in goad humour together. An aged man, who has been in thready, and imprisoned before for a Idmilar offence, was charged under the following circumstances. genteel mild young man. named Williams, stated, that being desirous of some permanent situadon, he had advertised in some of the Newipapers, and a day or two since the prisoner called at his house in Carnaby-street. and said he bad seen the advertisement, and tailed respecting it ; the witness bowed, and thanked him.— Oh! continued the prisoner, I have very great influence with the great, and can procure you a situation in the Customs. I had one in my gift the other day, which I have filled op. The witness con sidered a man of his venerable appearance could have no intention of decelitlng him, and freely laid open his resources, and it was egg • that was to be advanced to pay fees. The old Gentleman stopped to t ea and supper, and expressed himself so highly pleased with com plainant, that he promised a variety of things, the accomplishment a single one of which would be more than be could effect. He called the neat day, and an excursion to Richmond to see some hers of the family was proposed ; the old man cheerfully curveted hii willingness to go, but said he had forgot his purse, and all Imo% ees must be paid for him. This of course was not objected, and the whole party started off for Richmond, where the old Gentleman fared sumptuously, sad drank a couple of bottles of port wine to himself. He, during the tete a tete of the evening, represented him self as a man of great wealth, and, your Worship—here the com plainant paused. Maeurraays—l really am astonished at people being oath fools as to suffer themselves to be duped by koala id this hind.

Lorna; of South-End, Lewisham, was broken open, and two •aluable horses stolen. Wednesday, as a three-masted boat, called the Rich ard, in attempting to cress over to Seacombe, in width were , two watermen and a passenger, (during a complete hurricane, by a sudden gust of wind 'catching the sail) upset, and they were at once precipitated into the water; when one of the boatmen named Davis, and the passenger, after in vain struggling for some time, finally sunk beneath the waves.—Lieerpoof Courier, June 6. Wed,,e.day last a waterman who attended hackney coaches, named Charles Rashfield, met his death in the following shocking manner. It appeared that about half-pa,st twelve o'clock on the night in question, two hackney coaches were abreast of each other, a little beyond the watergate at Vauxhall Gardens. In endea• Touring to avoid them, in crossing, the deceased was struck down by the off horse, and the two off.wheels went over him, and caused almost instantaneous death by the scalping of the skull and fracture of the jaw ; although he was taken up instantly and medi ca l aid procured, all attempts to prolong his existence proved unavailing. From the testimony of two persons who witnessed the lamentable occurrence, it plainly appeared that it was purely the result of accident. On Friday last an Inquest was held on the body of the unfortunate man, at the Vauxhall Tap, Lambeth, before R. Caavao, Esq. when the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death," with a deodaad of *s. on the coach and horses. CORONER'S INQUEST. 154torday afternoon an Inquest was held at the house of Mr. Donnell, the sign of the Bee Hive, Crawlord street, 'Winchester-square, before Thos. Stumm, E l . Coroner, on the body of Mrs. Ann Pym, aged 50, whose death took place under the following awfully sudd, Mr. John Williams, of Crawford -street, deposed, th on Thursday night last, about ten o'clock, he was walk. ing near the above house, when his attention was at. meted by something lying on the pavement. He pro ceeded to the spot, when he found it to be the body of a woman. He assisted her from the ground, and seen d her on the step of a door, on which he di scovered that she was in a dying condition. He immediately carried her into Mr. Dunnell's house, and tent for a surgeon, but she soon afterwards expired. Mr. Donnell stated, that the deceased, shortly befira she was found in the street, had been to his house a pint of porter, Which she was taking to her residence in York-street, Manchester-square, when she fell dawn M a fit. She then appeared in perfect health and Thin. Mr. Bush, the Surgeon, stated, that he was called upop to attend the deceased. On his arrival at Mr. Dunnelrs he found her apparently dead; he, however, opened a vein, but to no purpose, she being quite dead. She died through appuplexy. Mr. Donnell hue wished to ask Mr. Stirling, whether Licensed Victuallers were bound to receive dead bodies into their houses under similar circumstances. The body of the deceased woman had been in one of his apart- MINIM since Thursday, and was in a high state of putt*. flexion, which caused the greatest annoyance to his kc. He conceived it to be very bud that they should be put to so much inconvenience and esrine on such occasions. Mr. &nature replied. that it was certainly very in. convenient for Licensed Victuallers to have a dead body in the house; be knew of no law to compel them to take in dead bodies. Mr. Dunnell said, that every assistance was afforded the unfortunate woman, on whose death he found it necessary to procure a coffin for her, in consequence of the putrid state of the body. He would willingly have boned her at his own expense, rather than have the body in the house. Mr. Srtaxtiou ii.formed Mr. Dunnell that the body of a el:ceased person found in the street might be car. lied to the workhouse or watchhouse until the Inquest was held. The Jury thought it *exceedingly hard upon licensed victuallers, who were put to great trouble and expense through the medium of Coroners' Inquests, without being remise: aced. They returned a verdict of u Died by the visitation of Gon." FlaL—•This morning, about two o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. BACHELOR, book. binder. in Johnson's-court, Fieet-street. The flames were first seen to issue from the first floor window.— Fs orn the confined situation of the premises, no engine, except that belonging to the parish, was able to reach the spot, and their exertions were, for a considerable time, retarded, through a want of water. At length, having received a supply, the engine., which had pea. trated into Gough-quare, began to play with consider. able effect on the flames, which had assumed an alarm. ing attitude; the houses adjoining being in the most imminent danger. In about halt an hour they happily succeeded in arresting its progress. BRUTALITY PUNlSHZD.—Saturday morning a boy, about 14 years of age, happening to give some trifling offence to the waiter (a man grown) of a soup shop is Smithfield, the latter followed him out into the mai ke., and having knocked him down with his fist, kicked him in the ribs and other parts of his body in the most inhuman and savage manner. Just at this time a reso• lute, stout. John-Bull-looking butcher, who witnessed the unmanly attack, came up, promptly interfered, and pulling the aggressor away with one hand, gave him a slap in the mouth with the other, and then challenged him to fight, which the waiter, however, thought proper to decline; he then lifted the boy np, and having armed him with his stick, desired him to lay it lustily about the back and shoulders of his assailant, which he did to the great gratification and amusement of the bye standers, who applauded the 'conduct of the sturdy knight of the cleaver ;" and the waiter, having re• ceived a severe and well-merited ca e stigation, slunk back into the soup shop, loaded with the execrations and jeers of the spectators. Richard Power, an honest labourer, died on Sunday last; his wife died the preceding evening, and the one grave entombed them both on Monday. The husband had been labouring under consumptive complaints these ten weeks past, during which time his wife at. tended him, but finding him beyond recovery, and seeing no prospect for herself after his death bnt want, she laid herself down beside him, and, after lingering a short time, expired.— Waterford Climax.
