I , E C 6. '- LAW REPORTS. COURT (W KING'S BENCH, JULY 17. BARER V. WATFORD —Thia anti an action brought by the nl.tintlff, who is an eminent chart and map maker, against the de fendant for having pirated a map of the county of Cambridge. It Appeared that ftorn 1754 until 1821 there had been no new maps made of the county of Cambric= and its vicinity. In the above year a very magnificent map of Cambridge appeared, compiled and published by the plaintiff: The map met with ext raordinary suc cess, and it remained the only improved map until 18311, when * map bn a much smaller scale appeared of the county, but with this addition, taking in twenty-five miles round Cambridge, and come ourntly a part of seven counties. In the finftsmap which was published there were the following errors—at the edge of a river stands what was called Papsworth Park • this error also found its way into the defendant's map. In describing the situa tion and boundary of the Isle of Ely, errors appeared in the large map, and the same fault was in the latter map. In the plaintif f s work a road was described as not being a turnpike road, when it was one ; this also appeared in the other production. A gate was made to exist in each which was not found on the road described ; there were also errors in the great turnpike-road from Potsworth to Ely, on each of the maps, and when the first map was made on surfer+ ng the county, no notice was taken of an excavation, because it bad not been done ; although the pirated map was not p ublished snail se veral years after, the same error was not rectified. In other pat" of the smaller map there were additions and mile Blonds Endo wilt& did not exist in the large map, and some of those error. whisk woe described in each of the maps were to be found in the anlossamalt maps published several years since...-Mr. Campbell aithilad die Jury for the defendant, and contended that the maw alp was not a copy or a piracy of the production of the plaintiff, and that his client had made the survey of the county, assisted flow.the older maps, which were published long before that of the plain tiff's work. Lord TENTEIDENSUITHNed up. Th ( fi e = after a few minutes consultation , found a verdict for the t. CONSISTORY COURT—SATURDAY. DIVORCE ON AOCOUNT OF INCEST AND ADULTRIT. C 171110116 CASE—MURTON v. Tuavorr—This was a ink pro moted by Mrs. Turton, daughter of General Brown, against her husband, Mr. Turton, a barrister, fora divoroe, on the ground of adultery and incest with her own sister, Miss Adeline Brown The cue has excited much attention, and has been argued at considerable length. The details we recently published. The Court gave Judg ment to day. JUDGMENT.--DT. LTYSIMICITON observed, with reference to the charge of adultery and incest, that the Counsel for Mr. Torten had not denied the charge. The single question was, had Mrs Tartan connived at the adultery. There was no one circumstance, however, which imputed connivance to Mrs. T. although it had been said there were sufficient reasons for suspicion. It appeared that Mrs. T. on going to India, had agreed to forgive the past, and Miss Brown subsequently joined them, and Mrs. T. ought then to have resented the insult, and have separated from him. But this was a case of no ordinary character, and he (Dr. L.) hoped it would never be of frequent recurrence. Mrs. Turton had been placed in a peen liar situation. If she had separated from her husband at first, she would have produced the exposure of her own parents and the dis grace of her own sister. She was without advice and under the in fluence of her husband, and throughout the painful occurrence bad never shown any disregard of her own honour. The Court thought that when such intercourse took place between persons so nearly connected in blood, the justice of the case required that the wife should be removed from a husband who had so repeatedly sinned against her.—Divorce allowed. THE LAST NEW MARRIAGE ACT. WILTSHIRE V. ELIZABETH PRINCE, TALSELT CALLING HERSELF WILTSHIRE. This was a suit promoted by the father of a minor, Mr. Henry John Wiltshire, to annul a marriage between the latter and a ser vant maid of the promoter's, who was stated to be thirty years of age. The young woman had declared that she could not live with out marrying her young master, and it was contended that by • his arts she had induced him, when nineteen years of age, and without the knowledge of his parents, to put up the banns of marriage at St. Bride's Church, in the name of Wiltshire, leaving Ottt Henry, for the purpose of eluding detection. It was proved that the mar riage was solemnized, afterwards consummated at the Stroud Hotel. Dr. DODSON offered no opposition on the part of the wife, end the Court said it was the first time it had been called upon tit decide on the 22d Section of the New Marriage Act, which provided that when banns were not duly published, the marriage should be de clared null and void. The facts had been fully proved, and the Court declared the marriage to be null and void. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.—Jusx 17. John King, the proprietor of the Westminster pit, was indicted by the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, for the said pit, it being a common nuisance. Messrs. Phillips Barry attended to support the information, and Mr. Criswell appeared for the prisoner. James Youins proved that a badger was kept there for the pur pose of being drawn by dogs, and that a bear was regularly baited twice a week ' • also, dogs were pitted against each other to fight, and that such was the nuisance to the neighbourhood from the , yells of the animals and the shouts of the spectators, that many persons had left their houses. Joseph Shaw proved that, on the days appointed for fighting, the concourse of dogs with chains is such, that it was rendered un safe for persons to pass through Duck-lane. After a few words in mitigation from the counsel, the Court charged the jury, and observed that such nuisances were no longer to be tolerated. The jury immediately returned a verdict of guilty, and the Court sentenced him to three months hard labour in the house of correction. D. Gompertz, Esq. the hon. secretary to the society, recom mended the prisoner to the lenient consideation of the Court, which the Chairman said should have due attention at a future sitting. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JULY 17. Harrison Flether, a clerk in the General Post-office, came up on his petition to be heard. An opposition had been entered on the book of the court against the insolvent, but Mr. Nrcnou.s, the counsel for the opposing creditor, said his client would be content with the assigneeship, without pressing for a remand, provided the insolvent would give up a portion of his salary for the benefit of his creditors. The CHIEF Commisstowzn—lnsolvent, I perceive your income is 901. a:year ; now what portion can you spare in liquidation of your debts ? Insolvent—lt is subject t o deductions, and I cannot spare uny , part. I have lived rigidly, and cannot keep out of debt. The Cams' Consussrowza—What family have you ? Insolvent.-1 have a wife, no family ; yet I find my income in sufficient. _ The CHIMP Comxisatowza.—Sir, there are many families lie. ing on considerably less funds. Let 10L a year be set apart fee the purpose, and the Court appoints your client, Mr. Nicholls, to be the assignee for carrying the same into effect. The insolvent, upon his undertaking to pay 101. a year, was declared entitled to the bendt of the act, and or der ed to be discharged. George Robinson, a jolly-looks fellow , fellow, was opposed by Mr. WOODILOTTZ, on behalf of a Mr. Pratt. Mr. CooKE appeared for the insolvent. Mr. WoonaorrE.—You have been cook to a noble lord? (We did not catch the name.) insolvent.--Yes, Sir. Mr. Coor---With good capon lined. (Laughter.) From the further examination of the insolvent it appeared that he had been formerly arrested, when he called his Br ed tors together, and made an assignment for their benefit, subsequent to which his brother had purchased from him some duplicates. The Ceizr CONXIIIIIIONER directed that the sum of 261. 161. the value of the duplicate property, should be paid into court, and that the discharge be stayed until the order of the Court was com plied with. The insolvent said he had no doubt his brother would pay the amount immediately. George Houghton was by Mr. COOKE for Blain. Hunter and Son and Messrs. " l:Cr e s d er and Co. The examination was chiefly directed to the establishing of the detaining creditor's debt, and the case was ultimately ordered to stand over sine die, to produce the detaining creditors. The key. Francis Woodcock came up to be heard. He was not opposed. The rev. gentleman looked extremely Al , and the Court, on being prayed to allow his discharge on the same day, complied with the request of the rev. applicant. TUE DUKE OF WELLINGTON ROUTED IST A WA FEaLoo Alay..—After the funeral ceremonies at St. George's Chapel the Duke of Wellington would have returned to London but his Majesty having desired the Noble Duke to meet him at th; Castle at ten o'clock on Friday.morning, his Grace retired to Lady Maryborough's seat at Fern-hill, in the Forest, for the night. The next morning the Noble Duke came to the Cutle some time before the hour appointed ; and, as the king had not arrived, his Grace strolled into the Home Park, unattended, and dressed in his plain black frock coat, which, together with his bat, was somewhat of the dustiest ; when suddenly, as the Noble Duke was contemplatively pacing the green sward near Hernes oak, the 'keeps of the lodge at Waterloo gate rushed from hi. wicket, and bawled out to him— " Hallos—you Sir !—keep off the grass !"—The Noble Duke looked round ; and. seeing that there was no person on the grass but him. sag, he instantly obeyed the peremptory order of the lodge-keeper, and quietly betook himself to the common gravel walk. It is al, most unnecessary to say that the lodge keeper did not recognise Ms Grace ; or that, when he was informed thereof, he repented of whit he had done.

The prosecutor stated, that on Saturday enemata he was walking with his son in the Strand, when the City proceision, with the Address to his Majesty, passed. A • great crowd had assembled 1 on the occasion, and, when near Temple-bar, the witness was hustled by the prisoner and four other respectably dressed men. His breechupocket was turned Inside out, and his purse, with the ' above sum in it, abstracted. The gang then separajed ; but wit.. near, missing his money, gave an alarm, and the prisoner, after nu . tang a short distance, was taken into custody. Ths p ossests e s ors and another person confirmed the evidence as to the prisoner being one of the persons who blunted the prosecutor, and afterwards ma leprisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery, and said be was a 'very reipeetable person.

The prisoner was remanded, to give time to the officers to find his cent peaking. • HAY r ow- 0 Anna er...-The • following information respecting * burglary and robbery committed on the premises of Mr. Collis Hatton-garden, bookbinder, was given at this office on last: The premises are occupied by Mr. Collier, as a worsleTa warehouse, in which be carries on a very extensive business, but he does not reside there. • Until the establishment of the present pe• lice system be had always a person to sleep in the house; but when sho s yst e m was organised, and its operation extended to Hatton-Or d" be conceived trait making inch a provision for the security of his posperty.was unnecessary, that be might safely dispense with it,. and amordingly be discontinued it. The house was entirely enclosed, all wall protected le the rear and the front door was secured by a lock, of a very peculiar construction. Every apartment in l ibe • • cuss ibis secured by locks, and on Friday night Mr. 01•111 saw that all was safe; and between six and seven o'clock the doing morning, when he came with the key to admit his weeloss, be was astembhed to find the front door open, and en en mks the binge he discovered that every door in it was opal, that evorgepariusent bad ban entered and arefully stocked, and that of that was valuable and portable had been taken away.

It is deserving of observation that this ben been the third burglary and robbery committed in this neighbors heed within the last three or four days. The house of Mr. AB. a n t. se t fiolborn-hill, theesemonger, was entered and robbed en y morning last, and the boese of Mr. Lomax, of lied. bees.bars, jeweller, was broken into and robbed on Thursday miming. . i Miutr-Le-sorrarz.—On 'Friday nigh; the ad of a Paddington Onstibus, named Wood, was charged before Mr. Hoaxing, with assaulting General Ouseley, of Manchester-square. • • I • The General Meted; that intending that evening tor sanals the eft% be took his seat in an omnibus. The omnibus stepped et a pelthe-houes in the New-road, and the General inquired haw log is maid wait, and war answered by a constable that the amiss awe allowed only five minuses, but the time of theocrat= was net limbed.. The General wishing to be at some certainty, Adria the ethethast a sixpence, and tried to get out. The defendant ends". meth to keep the door shut. The General pushed his band against the breast of the defendant, to keep him off, with the gramme heiress his finger and thumb, and accidentally knocked off his hat. The defendant took the money, and put it into his waistcoat pocket, ' ad alter the general had turned hie back to go to one of the coaches, the defendant followed him and gave him a violent blow on the right side of his chin. A policeman (No. 37, division D) saw the trans action, and took the defendant into custody, and the general hoped Mr. Hoskins would consider the risk he (the general) ran of com mitting manslaughter, for most certainly, he said, if the poli ce man had not interfered at the moment, he should have knocked the de fendenth breath bet able body. Mr. Hosnres asked the policemen whether the blow which the General received was, in any measure, accidentally occasioned in the struggle. The policeman said no, it was given deliberately, pre cisely as the General had stated.

When Bendshaw came in, Rich I and his men were in the yard, and Mr. Rich cried out, " Tales Bradshaw, and drag him through the horsepond--get a bucket et stuff, and heave it over him." The last order was immediately caw tied into effect; one of his people took a pailfull of dirty water' from the trough of the grindstone, and soused it upon Bradshaw, who was ill able to withstand such violence, as he has but one leg. This was the story of the circumstance, u represented by Mr. Thomson, and other respectable witnesses; and Mx. Malin* and Mr. Rawlins required Mn Rich to give security for his appear- • wee to answer the charge at the sessions. Lieutenant H. Ramos, of the !loyal Navy. was held in his own murky of 1001. to keep the peace, he having endeavoured, by a letter, to provoke a Mr. Lucas to fight a duel. The cause of their 'dispute did not transpire. The case was heard in a private room ; but another arose out of it, for the defendant lodged in the house of Mrs. Ann Corney, No. 14, Aitken-street, Dorset-square, and when Alderson, an officer of this _place, went there to serve the warrant upon him, and would not take her denial, knowing he was at home, 'the turned round, as be followed her up stairs, and struck him a blow in the face.

The following are the particulars : On Thursday evening, between eight and nin e o'clock, as Mr. Fox, one of the overseers of Hackney parish, was going towards his residence, he had occasion to pass through some fields near the Mile-end-road, where he was stopped by two men, who demanded his money, and presenting a pistol at his breast, threatened, if he did not give it up, they would shoot him.

Several low priatitutes then called out " Murder the b—y Peeler, finish him," and the pd. roper and another man kicked the atijeant in the aide and stomach in the most brutal manner.

SHERIFFS' COURT,—Rus Lzow ScumaL TIM LATE DUKE OF 0111LEAEL-TEE KUM THE EKE. CUTORS OT THZ LATE MRS. wortstia. The Chief Commissioner, who presided, took his seat on the bath about one o'clock, and stated the particulars of the Inquisition to the Jury, concluding with the observation that the main question for them to determine was, whether, on the evidence which•abould I be given, his late Royal Highness Louis Philip Joseph, Duke of Orisons, was born an alien or not ? If an alien, the property is question became forfeited to the crown; and if not, the executors of Mts. Wheeler would be entitled to retain it. It appears that the late unfortunate Duke of Orleans, whose pain. fully melancholy end bas long bosom matter of history, and is doubtless in the recollection of many men ot the present time during the terrible Revolution in Frew., bet his country to Sod shelter' from his enemies en ebs shores of Ragland ; and, shoe his arrival, maimed from the mow of Earl Grosvenor, in 1750, the lase of a dwelling house and appaloosas, situate is South.street, Hano ver-square, which was gas s' him tree of all taxes, oleo. at a yearly rent et 161. and which, rodeos st his tenni to TreAse, be disposed of to the late Mrs. Wheeler, has whose executors Led Kilmaine at present bolds il e a a rest of 411111. pee =num. The aid lease has expired, cad his Roy a l ilwass, it was observed, took a renewal. of the kW, OIMINIMing 11119, was which arcumslanc e it is inferred it was isles lasollso to return to reside in this country, and, perhaps, to spool the last days of his life in, it, which by misfer.. tune, more to be pitied than condemned, was put a sadden ride awful end to in his own. The executors of Mr. Wheeler proposed disposing of their terest in it; but they were informed by their Solicitor that they could not, from the circumstances of th e l a w of this country disqua lifying aliens from holding property in it ; and consequently it be came forfeited in reversion to the Crown,which it is the intention of the executors to memorialize on the subject. To decide, however, the alienship of his late Royal Highness, they referred the matter to the arbitration of the Sheriff's Court of Middlesex and a Jury, and the following is the evidence • M.

I !NZ BATTLE OF COPRNIIAGENO—WhiIe Gooch was at. Barrett the attack upon Copenhagen took place, and on of Lord Nelson the wounded were placed in the Naval et Yarmouth. Being acquainted with some of the young Ip a rds, though then but a boy, was, not infrequently at th▪ e " I was (he says in a letter written long Amwards) at the aval Hospital at Yarmouth, on the morning when Nelson, aike the battle of Copenhagen (having sent the wounded before him), arrived in the Roads, and landed on the jetty. The populace soon surrounded him, and the military were drawn up in the Marketplace ready to receive him, but snaking his way through theAust, and the crowd, and the clamour, he went straight to the Hospital. I went round the wards with him, and was much inter. ested in observing his demeanour to the sailors. He stopped at every bed, and to every man he had something kind and cheering to say. At length he stopped opposite a bed on which a sailor was lying, who had lost his tight arm close to his shoukler.joint. and the following short dialogue passed between them.—Nelson: " Welk jack, what', the matter with you ?"—Sailor : " Lost my right arm, your hooostr."—Nelson paused, looked down at his own empty sleeve,, then at the sailor, and said, playfully, " Well, Jack. then you and I are spoiled for fishermen—cheer up, my brave fel. low !" And be passed briskly on to the next bed ; but these few words had a cal effect upon the fellow , for I saw his eyes oyarlde with d ht Nelson turned away and pursued his course magical as throogh the .w ."—Fussily Library. COLD AMOIMIIIM IN SMALL Pox.—ln his original Modes upon the small pox, Sydenharn dwells much upon the as. lutary influence of cold, in those worse and most aggravated forms of tbat Orme, which are sometimes brought on by the pernicious meet she beating and stimulating treatment then in vogue. Luckily, be observes, it mans occasionally, that from the preposterous appli. cede@ of external beat and inward cordials, the patient becomes delirious, and in a fisof frenzy, escaping from the cruel attention of his nurse, lea p .' of bed, lies exposed for many hours to the cool night air, and thus haply recovers. In proof whereof, he relates an anecdote of a person whom he knew, who in his outh had gone to Bristol, and while there sas seized with the smal lpox, and became delirious. His nurse having occasion to go to the town, left her pa. dent in, tiff care of others, during her absence. Being detained 11011newitationgm than she expected, the sick person (as it seemed to thessabous him) gam up the ghost. As the weather was very hot, and the body was stout and corpulent, in order to prevent the bad odour of the corpse, they lifted it immediately from the bed, and placed It, with the exception of its being covered by a sheet, in es state of perftsCnudity upon a table. The nurse, in the mean time, returns, and, bearing the sad tidings, proceeds sorrowfully to the charnber of death ; but, on removing the sheet, and looking at the countenance, thinks she can perceive some faint signs of life remain. ing, and having replaced the extended body in bed, meals, by some means or other, the apparently dead man to life, and in a few days sees him restored to perfect health.—lbid. MoUNTAINEERs.—It is well known that in several of the provinces of China, there are mountaineers but partially, and some not at all, subject to the Chinese Government. They are all included ender the ap g n of esicsatesse, or as Du Halde writes a me it, seyans.tsc. His translator says, ow to e means oat. and supposes that the call them so in contempt. But in this be was misled by the sound, for the character usiao, applied io these people, does not mean a cat, but an ear of grain ; anti the al lusion is, probably, to their being in a state of nature, and uncivi lised. The different families or tribes are distinguished by a great variety of names, end considerable difference in their customs, dress. end manners.—Censton Rtgister. MIDDIES OP THE ANCIENT AND MODERN SewooL. —I should think there could not be a vetoer animal in the whole creation than the young midshipman on his return home from his fast voyage. The utter contempt in which he holds his former amusements, his assumption of the honours of maturity. his awkward attempts to sink the boy he his horror of the nursery and side table, with the assistance of his dirk ar.d cocked hat, all tend to make him a little man before his time. I wally hod grown an tads or two from change of climate and manner of life, but nothing in proportion so the elevation I took upon my self. I swore at my kind - hea rted old nurse, who would persist in considering me a child, whenever she propos edi combing my hair: talked large of my late engagement with the enemy; and romped with the maidservants. In short, I was become a complete scamp, turned the house almost upside down, and so disturbed the whole family, that they were quite delighted to get rid of me, when I was obliged to join my ship again, which was fitting out at Chatham. —Any sorrow that 1 might perhaps have felt at leaving my home a second time was quite forgotten in the contemplation of the most t preparations made for that event. The size of my chest the extent of my wardrobes were never-failing sources of my sistanden and my father's animadversion. The quantity of linen, the folLdress coats and undress waistcoats, the India handkerchiefs and dlk.stockings, were all of them objects of delight to me and grumbling as him—to be sure be had to pay the bill, which might have induced him to draw melancholy comparisons between the good MA dines when he went to sea and the luxuries that were then re. quired. He would bold up my silk stockings between his finger and thumb with the greatest contempt, declaring that he never had but six checked shirts and two while ones with frills ; and as to pocket-handkerchiefs, he never heard of midshipmen using any thing but a pica of oakum.
