I : ; LAW REPORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Orr. ta. LORD ARUNDEL D. EDWARD MIACKELL. 'This was a criminal information filed at the instance .of the plaintiff, for having published a statement that he bad dismissed a faithful Protestant servant, whose pro genitors had been in the employ of the Arundel family for many generations—not for misconduct, but.purety for refusing to abjure his — feligiiin, and turn Catholic, the known persuasion of the Noble Lord. The de fendant had inserted a full contradiction and apology in -a subsequent publication, and had offered to give up •the manuscript. Still the Nobleman pressed this pro secution, which ended in the Jury giving a verdict of guilty, under the direction of the Judge, that if they thought, individually, they should have felt aggrieved if such an attack had been made on them, they would find for the plaintiff; if otherwise, for the defendant. LOYD AND OTHERS D. EREEHMIELD AND ANOTHER. This was as action brought by the plaintiff's to re v o'er the sum of 7,0001. of the defendants, under the following circumstances t In August, 1825, Mr. Charles Kaye, who was at that time a partner in the deendant's firm, applied in the name of the firm to the plaintiffs for the loan of a sum of money on behalf of a Mr. Lee, a Gentleman of property, residing at Chester, who was a client of Messrs. Fre.•hfie!d and Co. and known to the plaintiffs, who had before transacted business for him. Fourteen thousand pounds was advanced to Nlr. Charles Kaye by the plaintiffs on Mr. Lee's aceount. It was afterwards ascertained that Mr. Lee had not autho ri,ed the procuration of the money for him, and was wholly ignorant of the transaction between Mr. Charles Kaye and the plaintiffs. These were the principal facts of the ease, as stated by Mr. Brougham, for the plain. tiffs-7,0001. of the money had been refunded by Mr. Charles Kaye, and the plaintiffs now sought to recover the remaining 7,0001. No blame whatever was imputed to the defendants in the transaction with the plaintiffs. The evidence adduced for the plaintiffs did not bear out Mr. ffirougham's statement, chat the money was obtained by Mr. Charles Kaye, in the name of the firm of Freslifield and Co. or that it was applied for the partnership purposes. Mr. ScriaLsrr addressed the Jury shortly on the evidence, and sifter a short summing up by the Joan C►tter JUSTICE, the Jury, immedi.itely returned a verdict for the defendants. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, OCT. 28. Mary Wright was indicted for assaulting Cadwallader Jones, who stated, that having gone to the defendant's house, to demand payment of a debt, she insulted him, and threw a &ate of giblet-pie over him.—The Jury found her Guilty. radunllader Jones was then arraigne•l upon a cross indictment, for assaulting Mary Wright. She swore, that upon the above occasion Mr. J,lnes asked her to l allow him to take certain liberties with her, and upon her refusal to permit him to do so, he threw her down' upon the hearth rug, and endeavoured to effect his purpose by force. She succeeded, however, in getting away from him, and resented the outrage by flinging the giblets at him. She also stated that she called out, and made a noise, in trying to get away from him ; but to o women uholoiged in the house, and saw the ter mination of the affair, swore that they heard no such mitt as that described by the prosecutriz, which they Must have done had it occurred. The Jury, after some hesitation, acquitted the defendant. The Court sentenced Mary Wright to pay a finesof 13s. 4d. George Beauchamp, a peasant, dreised in a smock frock, and about 33 or 34 years of age, was indicted for assaulting Mary Ann Powell, a child only nine years of lige, with intent to commit a capital offence. The child had been playing with other children in the fields, when the prison-a- came up to them, and having succeeded in separating her from her companions, perpetrated the outr ige uron her with which he now stood charged.— The child did not immediately disclose what had cc rutted to her friends ; but her aunt, soon afterwards observing symptom; of illness, called in a medical CientlemAn, who immediately ascertained that violence had been offered to her person, and after some hesitation she inrormed him that the defendant was the author of it. liar health having been injured, the medical Gen. tleman examined the defendants person, and found that his health was affected in the same manner. The Jut:) , unhesitatingly returned a verdict of Guile* The CHAIRMAN, after observing upon the heinousness of the defendant's conduct, which, he said, he could only attribute to an absurd but mischievous error that pre vails amongst ignorant persons, sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two years. We. Crowther was indicted for having in his posses sion, and offering in payment, a 51. note of the firm of Tailor and L'oyd, Birm:ngham, knowing the same to be stolen. Mr. ALLEY stated the case to the Jury, and called witnesses, from whose testimony it appeared, that the note in question was one of a large parcel, transmitted from INlessrs. Hammersley's bank some time ago, and stolcn from the coach. The prisoner offraed the note in payment to a Jew salesman, in Rosemary-lone,, who presented it to the Bank, where it was recognized as one of the stolen parcel. He told two different storie) to the Jew and his son as to the manner in which he bad come into possession of-it, which inductd them to take him before the Lord Mayor, where he attempted to account for his having it, in a still more suspicious manner. He stated that he had sold a writing desk to a strange man in Holborn, and that be was a ca►penter living at Chelsea ; that he had sold all his-things, and wai Winning to the country. Mr. RUM( addressed the Court on bchalf of the defendant, and took a kcal objection to the indictment, which, however, was overruled. —The Jury having found the defendant Guilty, The Comm sentenced him to two years' imprisonment and hard labour. tul TIDES.—At the spring tides in the approaching winter, the moon will be alternately near its least and its greatest distance from the earth, which may be known from the semi-d ameters being then about the 1; , teak st and least alternately. On this account the spring tides will be alternately higher and lower than usuar. At Brest the difference is about two feet and a half. - - By the Cork Market account, the price of Dead Pigs is 2.5 i. 9J. for one hundred and twelve pounds weight.

APPREHENSION OF THE NENTISH 'SMUGGLERS. _-.~- There are some particulars connected with the appre hension of the eight smugglers, who Were fully commit ted from BOw-street, on Friday, which have not yet appeared, and which are very interesting, as sheaving the mode of life pursued by these men, and the habitual fear of justice, and consequent caution observed by them.— The facts savour something of the romantic stories re lited of the freebooters of old. The village of Aldington is situated in as wild a part of the country as can 'well be conceived ; it is a consi derable distance from any plate of consequence, and close on the borders of Romney Marshes on the one side, and a mountainous district on the othel. The manner in which the apprehension of these men was effected, reflects the greatest credit upon the officers concerned. When the information given. by the ap• prover Horne reached B rw-street, Bishop and Smith left town by separate conveyances, and arrived at Fort Moncrieff in the most private manner pos-1 sible, secrecy of the most perfect kind being quite indispensable. Having procured guides,. well at quainted with the wild district through which they had to pass, the blockademen were divided into small parties. And took different routes. Nothing can be conceived more dangerous than the passage through the marshes at night. There are here and there deep pits, or ponds, over which planks are thrown, at cti win places, and these spots are well known even on the darkest nights to the smugglers, bin to their. pursuers the pits have several times proved fatal; for it is a common practice for the pursued, after crossing themselves to take up the temporary bridge, and thus the pursuers are at once plunged into the gulf. The parties, upon the present occasion, after a dangerous and difficult jow -1 ney, in the course cf which two of the blockademen were plunged to the neck in water, arrived near the village, and the Bow-street officers, there being strong breeze at the time, frought it best to go to leeward of Ransley's house, that they might avoid, as long as possible, being scented or heard by the dogs. They had approached very near to Ransley's house, when one of the dogs set up barking, but was immedi ately dispatched by the cutlass of one of the party. As has been before stated, the houses inhabited by the sus pec;ed persons were e ich surrounded by a party of armed men, so, that at a given signal, a knock was given at each door, and, upon an answer being given, the officers at once made their business known, and called upon the persons named in their warrants to surrender quietly. The usual officers who accompanied the expedition had proposed, going along, to burst at once into the houses and take the accused by surprise; but Bishop, like a wary old officer, said, no, Gentlemen,we know what sen t of men we are going after. TheprobabiLty is, that they are well provided with arms, and if sse break suddenly into their houses, in the middle of the night, they we likely to use them, and will have a fair excuse, perhaps, for having done so. How were they to know but we are thieves? they will say. Let us tell them our business, and then they can have no excuse for resistance. Mrs. Ransley answered the call of the officers, and delayed a considerabletiene before she opened the door, pretending to be dressing ; that she had not got her stays on, was not fit to be seen, &c. A daughter of Ransley's, in the Mean time, got out upon the roof of the cottige, and called out, with astonishing strength of voice, " war-hawk 1" that being a signal to assemble the inhwbitants of the village in ca•cs of danger. She was warned that her cries were of no use; and at length the door was opened, and It Insley was secured ; he did not attempt resistance, but sur rendered with quietness and firn.ness. The prisoners Were conducted to Fort MOnciieff, and there embarked on board the Antelope, King's Cutter, and brought in her, in the custody of. Bishop and Smith, round by the river to Deptford, %%here they we:e landed, and brought to London. Bond, and 'other officers, were after ltqnsley three times, within thelust five years, and totally fAiled in their endeavour• to apprehend him, so well laid were his plans to evade justice. No additional information has been received respect ing the late murders at Fetcham. Mary Apes mid Cobbler Will have still eluded' - the vigilance of the po lice; and the gipsy's information has led to nothing. A FEMALE GA 61BLER Magiitrates of Windsor, as,embled in the Town Hall on Thursday, committed a unman to the county gaol at Reading, for two months to hard labour, convicted of unlawfudy playing at dice the day belore, at Windsor Fair. Thz.:town of Stamford was visited last week with a terrific storm of thunder, lightning, and rain. One of the pinnacles of Burghley House, the seat of the Mar quis of Exeter, was struck by Vie electric fluid, and the stones were driven to a great distance. " Yesterday was the anniversary of Sir Walter Raleigh being beheaded in Palace Yard, 1618, and bir.ll of James 13oswell, the biographer of D:. Jo'.r.san, 1740. GEORGE THE SECOND.—EI's MAJESTY, on on. Of his annual nips to Germany, was driven by stress of wea ther to land at some unfrequtared sea Tort, where he tamely stopped to breakfast. When the bill was given to some of the King's attendants by the landlor d, the 'charge made was s exorbitant, that a demur arose as 'to paying it; the circumstance attracted his MAJESTY'S notice, and he was to'd the whole affair ; tl:e KING sent for the master of the inn, and told him he thought his charge for breakfast, which amounted to a sum equal to thitty pounds sterling, was exorbitant. The man bowed, but said nothing. " Why," said his MAJESTY, " we had nothing' but a few eggs—are eggs so 'very 'scarce here ?". " No, Sir," said the landlord, bowing still Tower, " but Kings are !"—s' lt is needless to add, as the jest books say, " that the Kix° laughed heartily, and paid the money." EASTERN CUSTOMS.—It if customary in the East for ' people to crowd the place where persons are dead, and to bewail them in a noisy manner in token of respect. --Sir John Chardin says that the concourse of people where persons lie dead is incredible. Every body runs thither, the poor and the rich ; and the former more especially make a strange noise. Dr. Shaw says, that upon funeral occasions, tt is customary in the Etst to hue women to act the part of mourners, who, like moutning women of old, are skilful in lamentation, and great proficients in those melancholy expressions. And indeed, he says, they act their part with such proper sounds, gestures, and motions, that they rarely fail to work up the assembly to an extraordinary pitch of thoughtfulness and sorrow.

The child was at play about five o'clock in the evening, and the prisoner threw some water over her; and because she said that she would tell her father, the brutal crea ture struck the girl a desperate blow with a large earthen pot on the head, which inflicted a wound several inches in length, and of half an inch in depth.

Witness took up hia blunder- buss, and instautly fired, but his piece hung fire, and seeing that they were attempting to get away, he threw down the blunderbuss, and ran towards them, accompanied by his dog, which, at once scented the depredator. The dog caught the flap of the prisoner's coat, which enabled the witness to collar him. Dugget's coin. panion escaped. Witness soon diieuvered a sack, which on feeling it, he found contained something heavy. Witness gave an alarm. upon which tour own came from the workhouse, and conveyed the sack upon a wheelbarrow to the bonehouie, where it was found to contain two bodies. William Tonskins, an inmate of the workhouse, deposed that about seven o'clock he W 75 passing the gate of the burying ground, when the watchman was coining out, holding the prisuoer, and asked witness to go and look at the bottom of the ground, where there was a sick containing something heavy; he accordingly found a sack (now produced), which had two dead bodies in it, which ware taken to the bouehouse.

An inquest has since sat upon the body, and returned a verdict of « Accidental Death ;" but on the application of the father of the child, before the inquest was taken, Kirkman was apprehended, and Mr. GRIFFITH the Justice, in investigating the case o n Saturday last, I decided t hat there was sorb culpable misconduct in the manner in which Kirkman was driving his cart at the time, that he committed hint for further eumination oa a charge of manslaughter.

The defendant, however, the applicant said, b a d never received any summons on this second information. hs ellf• vice upon the book-keeper was admitted, but it was either last at mislaid, being, probably, considered as part of the proceedings on the information already disposed of. The information cameos for bearing last Monday, and no per appearing for the defeating, he was convicted in his absence. The applicant directed the Magistrate's attention to the 'Act an. der which the convictions took place, which enacts,.aust.the...ainek proprietor shall have certain inscriptions on the done of kis coach, " ander the penalty of 410 ;" and be conclided that the Legada: tare bad contemplated only the infliction of one penalty for the omit` lion, otherwise, be thought, the wording of the Act would havl been " for every such offence or offences." The Magistrate could not admit the propriety of the appliesnee reasoning, for in that case, a defendant having paid one penalty, might go on offending ad in./toolbars. He regretted that the pude, bad not appeared in time, but be could not now afford any reliefs as the conviction had been returned to the Sessions, and there! allirtned. He observed SIM, that this information was not by wi t • time wormer as the first, or he would not have received'aniaber from him.

The barber was gripped so tightly by his spouse, that he was tumble m proceed to the rescue of his property ; and daring the contention between than, the thieves bad plenty of time to carry off part of the stock. Although the loss they sustained in the above description cif property was not very great, still the hairdresser was exceedingly annoyed by his mistress's very improper inter ferente, particularly when, on throwing up the bed.roont window, he saff the thieves walking deliberately off with Ibis commodities.

The flames were rapidly increasing, and fears wereeatertained fi r the safety of the yet apparently sleeping inhabitant ; but his appearance on the parapet, in a state of nudi'y, ba nished all apprehensions on that score, and he found ati asylum in an adjoining house, but not without being severely scorched, as the front attic, through which he had to force a passage, was in flames. The arrival of some engines, and a good supply of water, sopped the progress of the devouring element, and the damage was confined so!ely to the premises in which it commenced. Monday, a very fine partridge flew ivto the passage. of the Rose Inn, Canterbury. The poor bird was doubt less driven to seek refuge by some enemy; and Mr. Clements very properly disdained to take advantage of the circumstance, and restored the feathered stranget to its liberty.
