FLOGGING ! FITE HUNDRED LASHES INFLIC TED ! ! And Roles fts the Burk frees Flowing! ! ! TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. London, Nov. 11, 1830. Sri—ln the STAR of the 23d Instant., in your " Army" Extracts, I perceived with shuddering and disgust an account of the flogging of a replier, in Ireland, for disobedience, and who was subjected to the in. thetiou of jive hundred lashes in full. I could hardly believe my eyes when I read the account ; but, on reference to other papers, I fbund your statement fully borne out, the Morning Herald and th e Monthly Advertiser of the following day having confirmed it. Scarcely had I paused and pondered over this atrocious and hellish punish. merit, when the Chronicle of the following morning presented me with another exasperating tuorceas, under the head of " rim°. arxs." From this latter paragraph we learn, that Alderman Farebrother, on inquiry after the state of the three men who were so severely flogged at the Old Bailey a short time since, was informed by Mr. TEAGUL, the governor of the Compter, that two of them were at work again on the tread-wheel; but the third, WILPON, was in the Infirmary—" holes having made their appearance in his back In that part which was la. 'crated !!!" Well might the worthy Alderman say," /se hoped to live so set the day, when this barbat ous system should be abolished; or U degraded the enterer, and did not prevent the repetition clerk's." I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, A SWORN FOE TO FLOGGING. LAW REPORTS. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 27. The LORD Co NCELLOIL took his seat at ten o'clock this morning, and proceeded to hear motions. MYTTON V. HYTTON. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated this was a case of a ward of court. Lord Lyndhurst had directed that it should come on on a cer tain day, but which day having passed, it became necessary to apply to his Lordship to fix another. It was a case in which both parties con sented it should be heard in private. The Loan CHANCELLOR said, that he was my averse to having arl cases heard in private, unless very especial reasons were stated for it ; that the consent of both parties was not, he considered, a suffi cient reason per se for hearing any case in private which ought to be dealt with in public. His Lordship stated, however, that the par. ties might inform him shortly of the nature of the case in private, and If he thought there were any special circumstances, he should then consi. der the consent of the parties would be sufficient The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, that he was quite sure his Lordship would, upon hearing the nature of the case, think it ought to be beard in prorate. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 27. This morning, at ten o'clock, Lord Tenterden and Mr. Justice Pat- I teson came into Court. and stood up in their places, as did the whole of the bar. whilst Mr. Justice Bayley was sworn in as one of the Barons of the Exchequer. THE XING T. LEAMAN. This was an indictment for an assault, with an intent to commit vio lence, on the person of Elizabeth Green. The defendant is a surgeon, the prosecutrix a straw-bonnet-maker, both residing in a town—we believe Shefford—in Bedfordshire. The trial took place before Mr. Justice Littledale, and the defendant was found guilty, and was now brought up for judgment. 31r. Justice PAT TEBO3I read the notes taken by the Judge at the trial. From these it appeared that the prosocutrix was the prin cipal witness. Her age was twenty.one years. She bad been in the habit of going to the defendant's house, as ohs veld, always for the purpose of delivering work to the defendant's sister, for whom she had been in the habit of working. She went to defendant's house on Friday, the 21st of August, 1829, and, upon getting to the door, she was laid hold of by th e defendant, and pushed about the gar den ; and that afterwards be dragged her into the parlour, where the assault was committed. She swore positively that she s t;reamed out as loudly as she could, and that she became quite faint, and was greatly exhausted from his violence. She denied having ever allowed the defendant to take improper liberties with her. She also stated that a light was brought into the parlour, which was extinguished by the defendant. On her croes.examina- Son, she said she did not complain to her friends un til the Monday following, when site mentioned what bad rte. cursed to her mother she had known the defendant from her childhood —he is 26 years old. There were three or four other witnesses foe the prosecution, but none of them were near the defendant's house on the night in question. For the defendant there were called several witnesses, one of them, a next door neighbour, swore that he was at Mr. Lea. man's on the evening in question • im be saw the plainti ff come near and make very free with th e defe ndant, who desired bee to go away she did not do so at first, but, having afterwards left the place, she again re turned and went into the parlour or surgery after the defendant. This witness remained near the room, but hard no noise—on the contrary, be heard them whispering, and saw the prosecutrix sitting on the defer. dart's (Mr. Leaman) knee. Mary Bailey, a servant of the defendant's, swore that on the evening of tie 21st of August she had advised the pro. seclude not to go to her master's house, as his sister was not at home, and she could have no business there. This witness also swore that she remonstrated with Elizabeth Green upon her improper levity with her master. The Court having consulted for some time, asked the defendant who. tier he had any counselion the trial? 11r. Leaman said he had Mr. Sergeant Storks and another. The Court asked him if he had any counsel DOW ? The defendant answered in the negative. The Court.—Do you wish to move for a new trial ? The defendant said, that since the trial he had not employed any counsel, as he could not afford to go to any additional expense. The verdict had come upon him and the whole county as a thunderbolt, and the Learned Sergeant at the time advised him not to go to any further expense, but to throw himself on the Court. Lord TesiTenuex told him that if he had any thing to say in mitt. station of punishment, the Court would hear it. The defendant then proceeded at length to comment on the testimony, I and said it was a persecution of him. Mr. Smith, as counsel fur the prosecution, made a few observations in support of the prosecution and verdict, and contended that the de fendiat's late conduct and mode of defence was an aggravation of the of fence of which he was found guilty. Mr. Justice Pane, addressing the defendant, said, the Court thinks the justice of this case will be met by fining you in the sum of la. apon payment of which you are to be discharged. C MIL/LE • THE PROPEIZTORS Oi THE NEWAIIMMILICORT,. This was an action for libel, brought against the defendants. Mr. Carlile is a bookseller in Fleet.street. The trial wok place before Lord Tenterden, at Westminster, previously to the last term, and a verdict was then given for the defendants. The alleged libel was con. tamed in a letter written by the Rev. Dr. Gilbert , and published in the Newark Mercury. The letter was in reply to a challenge given by Mr. Carlile to Dr. Gilbert to meet him in theological controversy. In the reply there were some expressions which the plaintiff alleged were imputations on his moral character, and tended to lower him in the es dined= of the people of Newark. During the last term the plaintiff in person obtained a rule to show canes why a new trial should net be granted on the ground, amongst.othen, that the learned judge admitted improper evidence for the defence. The ATTORNZT-GEWXRAL and Mt. HILL appeared this day on behalf of the defendants, and contended that the evidence admitted at the trial was perfectly legal. Mr. Cazt.lLE addressed the Court in support of the rule, and said that the counsel for the defence had been allowed to give in evidence certain publications of the plaintiff's, and bad done so by putting them Into the hands of the plaintiff's witnesees.which be bad not a right to do. and the Learned Judge left it to the Jury to say, not whether the publication bad a tendency to injure the plaintiff in Newark, but gene rally, whether it had a tendency to injure his character ? The COURT were of opinion that the books produced at the trial ought not, under the circumstances, to have been admitted ; and as they could not decide whether that evidence had any influence on the minds of the Jury, they were bound to grant a new trial. thriei IX mow V. wraith's. IX MOIL. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied for a rule, which had been ob. tamed for a new trial, to be made absolute, and also that the bill of exceptions, now tendered by him on beh alf of his client Taylor, be tacked to the writ of error. The use arose out of a gambling transaction, in 1822 ; in which a brother of Williams lost a large sum of money, and subsequently brought his action against Taylor, and recovered damages, 6001. Mr. Taylor then commenced an action against the present defendant for perjury ; but judgment was given aaainat hint, owing, as alleged in the bill of exceptions, to the Judge of the Common Pleas having, left the question of reasonable cause to the opinion of the jury, whereas the jury ought to have given the ver. diet from the charge of the judge. Mr. Sergeant Caoss commented with much severity, on the present application, remarking, that it was only made for the purpose of fur ther delay. Lord TENTERDEN ordered the plaintiff in error to pay the costs into Court, as well as the amount of the damages ; and in default of compliance within three weeks, the rule, just obtained, was to be dis charged, and the other parties made absolute. IMPOZTANT TO MAGISTRATE& sir. ADoLruus moved the Court for a mandamus, to compel a k , urrey magibtrate, of the name of Rowe, to hear an information laid under the Pawnbrokers Act, by Byers, the common informer. The Act referred to requires pawnbrokers to ask certain questions of parties pledging, sad in default affixes a penalty, half of which becomes the pro perty of the informer. The approver of Byers a maw named !taw lings, had pledged an article under the name oillobinson, io the shop of a pawnbroker, whom he afterwards laid the information in question against. The magistrate, upon hearing that Rawlings had made use of a feigned name. refused to hear the information on that ground. The learned counsel enforced his application by stating that if it were not for common informers, those useful acts, the stage coach and pawnbrokers atm, would become a deed letter. Lord Tawrsanax..—Take a rule to show cause. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 27. rrawiroatie T. LTALL. Mr. Sergeant STICPREWS moved for a rule to 111011 MIS why the award made by the arbitrator should not be set aside. The defendant had bound himself by a covenant of bOOL to freight a ship bane from New Zealand to England, unless he should exonerate himself from the eontntct by giving notice that he did not intend to fulfil it. This the defendant felled to do ; on this ground the Learned Sergeant con tended that the defendant was liable to pay all the damages that would have bees incurred had the ship returned in ballast to Eng land, although the Captain bad, on arriving at New Zealand, and finding that the agent did not Intend to freight the ship according to the covenant, taken her round to Batavia, and there took in a cargo which produced more than the stipulated damages. Under the circumstances, the arbitrator considering that as the ship was taken to Batavia by the Captain, at risk of the defendant, and as the freight be obtained there more than covered the amount of the breach of contract, and as no da mages could be proved, the nominal award of Is. was sufficient for the negleot of the agent in not giving the notice according to the covenant. The COURT were of the same opinion, and refused the rule, without carts to either puny. BOARD OF RXCISE, Nov. 28. Mr. George Riddell, the landlord of the White Swan public-house, Ratcliff-highway, appeared before the Commissioners to answer to an In. formation preferred against him, and charging him with mixing dole. serious drugs with his beer, for which offence he subjected himself to a penalty of 2001. Dean, an officer of Excise, stated that he applied the test of Mr. Ferriday to some beer, and at once discovered that there was a portion of deleterious matter in it. He in consequence took samples from the casks in which the beer was, and took them to the brewbouse of Messrs. Hoare and Co. where he obtained another sample of such beer as was usually sent to the defendant's house; and it, with the others, delivered to Mr. Ferriday. Mr. Woodbridge stated that the beer found in the cellar of the de fendant was very different from what the firm supplied him with. The defendant, In defence, said that his consumption of porter for a few days previous to the discovery was vety great, and not being able to procure a sufficient supply of mild beer at the time; he made up a cask of stale into fresh. He declared that he applied nothing but fining, and could not account in any way for the presence of the vitriol. The Commissioners, after severely censuring the practice of adulte. ration, mitigated the penalty from 2001. to 1001. Mr. Gray, the landlord of the Dog and Bear, In Crucifix-lane, Southwark, was charged with a similar offence ; but in consequence of its being proved, that though the license was in the name of the defend. ant, the house was in the of a person named Lewis, at the time of the discovery, and tb P i c r es het, si° : l ogether with the ingredient used not being of a deleterious nature, induced the Commissioners to reduce the penalty to 101. An Information was exhibited against the landlord of the Bricklayers' Arms, Grange.atreet, Oxford-street, for adulteration ; and from his not appearing to defend the charge, the full penalty was Inflicted. WESTMINSTER COURT OF REQUESTS • THEATRICAL SECRET. Wass v. Da Boos.—h is an old and somewhat musty remark, to say that there are tricks in all trades ; the present case goes to prove that there are also more tricks behind the theatrical curtain than those of the Christmas pantomimes. The plaintiff, Mr. Webb, we understood to be the prompter at the Surrey Theatre, and the defendant prompter at the Adelphi ; now it seems that when any new piece makes a hit in London, country managers and performers sometimes contrive to get a copy (sub roes) for their own use. It so happened that on a recent oc casion, a country performer, whose name did not appear, wishing on the night of his benefit to 'take the provincials by sur prise, applied to his friend, hir. De Boos, to get him the copy of a new piece just produced at the Surrey, the name of which was also kept in the baek.ground ; and so satisfied was the gentleman in the country that he should get the piece in time, that he billed the whole neighbourhood with his announcements, and made every other preparation for his be. netitaight. He of the AM* applied to him of the Surrey, who It was seated was in the constant habit of supplying these things, and offered fifteen a twenty shillings for the copy of the manuscript piece, or even a something mole, provided it was reedy by a certain Moo. day. Mr. De Boos made many applicadons for the piece, but in vain, and it did not wantoully ;reach him till the Saturday following the day on which It was to have been sent; un fortunately for all parties, this wso bl Eta i oo /ate, for the poor actor% had passed, sod the had h benefit night am disappointed. It did sot a r whether the besting bantam up, or the chandeliers destroyed if they bad any) at the country Theatre ; but it was quite clear to r. De Bees, that as the time was gone by, the manuscript was of no use either to him or his friend, and he therefore civilly sent it back to his co-prompter, Mr. Webb. This gentleman, on his part, not liking to lose all his labour, especially as be bad em. alcoved an amanuensis to do part of the week, sammosti the de. dait for the sum of IL 100. who now raidead the on the E;we have naiad, and, in addition, mid that he hsi Ywer t ed much a d :e with his country friend for the diseppointeosut he bad ocea. dated him. At this period of the am it was very evident that the Commissioners would have dismissed It altogether, if Mr. De Boos bad not very handsomely cared, in consequence of the plaintiff having been meaty out of podia by the transaction, to pay the sum of in amis. foods' f the debt I this offer at sathW the Court, and an award was made accordingl . The padeft the Court as very good tams, and thus ended this (wpm POLICE EXPORTS. 11.4,1110E.NOUSEe-A REVOLVED MiestowanT.—A tire of' Africa, named Pierre, who had beat employed as a maslwary, was brought before the Lord Mayor, under the following remarkaWa The black Missionary had been seen en the Coast of Africa when a boy, by a Quaker lady of gnat religious propensities, and brought by her to this country, for the purpose ',education. He proved to be an scholar, and several of the Society of Triads, taking an interest in the matter, he was sent to a school, where he received a good education, and was instructed in the doctrines of Christianity. After having be. come perfect in his knowledge of the English tongue, the Friends, his benefactors, fi tted him out for the of the duties of a Missionary, sad sent him to Siena to teach the rising gene ration of the natives there. His character, however, underwent a very sudden and important change, and instead of attending to the duties of his situation, he took a fancy to rum-drinking, and pitched the preaching trade to that whom it is intended most to injure. It was, however, necessary far ha to do something for his bratA, and aceordiugly be chose that employment which enabled him to take a little rum along with it, and he went before the mast oo a voyage to China. Thence be came to this country, and he, as in duty bound, went to pay a visit to those who had served him so essentially ; but he happened, on his way to the Quakes to meet a mesentate, and to get drunk, so that when be made his it was some time before he was reco as the coloured uaker. however, did am up for him up for lost. They th ou ght that kindness friends, and advice might still reclaim him, and they gave him money and counsels but the one was thrown sway upo him, and be threw away the other himself. The more cash he got, the more drunk be got. At last it became necessary to charge him before the Lord Mayer. The missionary, having been admonished by the Lord Mayor, said be would go before the mast, oar do anything of that hind with all his heart, but he did not Eke preaching sad fit: mined. (laughter.) There was • ship in which be could get em ment at once. This was agreed to, and the missionary On tinateix—Willienis Mostert, Wlllime Clarke and Join Ward, were brought baste Mr. Alderman Axst.str, charged, the ant named with stealing, and the latter mato:implies, in stealing a has-box, containing some apparel, from Brand's Camberwell errand-art, on Friday evening. Danny, the driver, stated that he had stepped into th e Whi te H art , in Giltspur4treet, to get some beer, leaving his cart a t th e d oor , i n charge of a man who was sitting inside, and in his absence, this man had fallen asleep. When witness returned, he found the prisoner Stanton getting down from the step of the cart with the hat-box in his hand, which he had reached from the back of the vehicle, over the body of the sleeping man the took him into custody, when the others cams up and vehemently insisted on his respectability. and required that he should therefore be liberated on giving his address. Stanton said be 'saw the box on the front seat of the cart, and, con sidering that it was unsafe and exposed to thieves, he took possession of it, intending to go into the publie-house to and the owner. pas of Ms relations was, he believed, a driver of a Barnet errand cart, and it et. cured to him that this might be his identical art. He was committed he trial, and the others were remanded to produce witnesses to their good character. Bow.Svazov.—Thomas Solley appeared to answer 111 which had been exhibited against him by Wm. Skinner, loapeeter Hawkers' and Pedlan' Licenses. Skinner stated that he observed the defendant hawking china and eathenware about, and knowing that he was not authorized, witness called upon him to produce his Menu I the defendant without baba. don placed a paper fn witness's hands, which, though it did not carer pond with the number on his pack, yet turned out to be a license granted to one Sampson Buuertoo, who he alleged employed him in th e capacity of a servant, to hawk good& Butterton, the muter, amid he agreed to glee the deluding three pounds a year as wages, on condidon that be hawk e d about onset • he ( Bu tterton ) was to supply. The defend ant was merely onset • number of pinions whom he (Bungee') =splayed, se he annually paid about 641. for licenses, and of course could not use all of them himself. Mr. HALLS remarked that there was not only a juggle on the part of Butteries+, but also on the part of the Beard; foe If the former had not a right to use the licenses, for which he had paid his money in the manner described, the latter certainly bad not a right to grant more H. comes than one. Be could not feel himself justified in visitinizepunish ment for an offence which had been in point of fact created those who, properly speaking, were the persons at whose instance ease ht forward. He should therefore dismiss the case. said that he had received instructions from the Board to pre. vent the employment of dogs for the purpose of hawking. Mr. Hou.s—But have you power to do so ? The solicitor's clerk replied in the affirmative, observing that the Act ex mentioned , horses, ANON and other beasts drawing burden. Mr. MALLS—What I do you not think that the words " other beasts " raise a difficulty ? Suppose a man be used for the pu rpo se of drawing the burdens contemplated by this act, what then, would you therefore contend that you have a right to say be shall not ? The solicitor's clerk said he thought dogs were clearly not within the nleVof the act. e n fl , you may think so, if you please. However, as the point is not at present before me, I will express no opinion at present. The information was then dismissed, and the parties withdrew. Harrox.oaanste..-. Wary Lmsch was charged with having fele. niously received property, knowing it to be stolen. Ellen Holland stated that a female, with whom the prisoner was in. timate, named Mary Sughrue lodged in the same house On the morning of the 19th the female Sughrue stole a bundle of wearing ap. parel, the property of prosecutrix. Two pawnbrokers from Pimlico produced the property, which was pledged on the 10th instant ; and one of them believed that the prisoner pi . etiffa part of the property.--She was fully committed for trial.

Th s being observed by the defendant, on turning a street, she ran, on which his suspicions were confirmed that she had stolen it, and he took her into custody. He then asked her how she came possessed of the umbrella ? She replied, it was no business of his, but it was her own. Mr. Comore—Do you think she stole k West—What other opinion can be formed ? ?dr. CONAN r —You my she was carrying it in her hand ; don't many 'Persons carry silk umbrellas. West—They do, but not poor persona. M. CONANT—What account do you give of this silk umbrella ? The oung woman said she was going into Drury-lane, when, fearing it wou ld rain, she asked her sister, who lived in Charlum.street, to lend her an umbrella, on whic h her sister lent her the one which the constable had taken from her. On being stopped by him, she said it was her own, when he said be did nix believe bee, and took her into custody. Mr. CONANT....YOU hear what she says, do you think she has stolen ? West—l am not able to say, bat it is very suspicious. Mr. Coxasr—lf you doubt her statement, you had better go back with her, and if she deceives you, then bring her beck. West here said something about detaining the umbrella. Mr. CONANT...I shall do no such thing ; and I must say that this Is going a little too fir in taking up a person in the mMdle of the day for merely having an old silk um breW. The young woman was then discharged t but it was with some ra bacteria that the old silk umbrella was returned. LAKNZTX-STRIET.—Among the paupers who etr e to We sit ting magistrate, T.
