The Learned Sergeant then read the following letter ; " Sidrnouth, Aug. 10, 1825. s • sr Mae liacarea—T have not hai the pleasure of hearing any thing shout you or Mrs. R. for a long time. I hope you are both anihylng all the blessings of health and happiness. I suppose you may have heard that I am now at the Devonshire coast ; and, in deed, to tell .you the fruit, I think that I shall never more leave this part of the country ;and, as a sort of proof my intentions being acted on, I base actually purchased an estate, within one mile and a hal f Sidmdtith. The estate is called Sidcliff—it is. without exception. the most elegant house I ever was In. and the gardens and shrubberies about it make it quite an enchanting spot. It was originally built by a Gentleman of the name of Bowen ; he - possessed at one time a fortune of 40,0001. a year, but through un toward teems he lost the greater part of it. The succeeding pur 'chaser was Thomas Bacon, Esq. the great sculptor ; when in Lon don, he resides in Newman-street. Of this Gentleman I have bought the whole of the estate. He is going to reside near his father, who resides near BroMley, in Kent. Mr. and Mss Bacon and the young Ladies are all very handsome, and are exceedingly genteel. Sidcliff house and gardens have always borne the palm of .being the genteelest and most elegant place about Sidmouth. I have already laid much money out on it, and.shati continue to,slo so un til I have made it very complete. I have just given orders for two ledges to he made, and I ant going to do something to the front attesms that runs through the estate, and to have fresh fencing and fresh gate- throughout the farm. There is much orchardy in the place, and this year I expect I shall be able to make fourteen to sixteen hundred gallons of cider. Not far from my residence is Mr. Fisher's house. The Gentleman treats the public once or •• twice& week with the view of his house and gardens, and he has hjt rooms very tastefully fitted up, and many, showy thing., but I mean to surpass him ; I am arranging to build a museum—not only for anatomical preparations, but also minerals and sutural philosophy—also for antiques. I wish you and Mrs. R. would come down and stay with us; we have the whole house, and only ourselves in it; you will he delightedwith the place. I shall build a handsome place with a dome to it for a museum, and my curiosi ties and wax preparations must be much admired. At all events, the was anatomical, preparations, and the antiques of Derculine, Veauvim, &c. have already cost me 4501. so )ou may suppose. sty preparatioos will be rare and valuable. bly ware anatomical preparations are beautiful, and anatomically correct. A friend of Mine brought them front Italy, and he waited tea months to ace them finished. He brought them from Florence—they are beautiful beyond description. The principle figure is an ele. gatuly formed temale figure of a most beautiful young Lady, quite a Peaks de Media She ls modelled in wax as large as life, and lies on her back with her left arm thrown gracefully over her face. Her hair, quite black, is about one yard and a half long, and that is gracefully thrown over her shoulder, and spread over her breast. She lies in a large glass ease, and the figure is so constructed, that you can open the head, the chest, and the abdomen, where a most beautiful and correct Anatomical display is seen. I have given about sEGOO for all the curiosities. Thew wax figure, are unilue, and not any other to he seen like them in,England or elsewhere. My friend, who sold them to me, was 20 years surgeon on the Continent; he bas also for sale some fine Maude, for which he wants 450 guineas,. Ile bas also sold I 11( his house and garden at Euro': he is going to travel again. Having given you this account, lam going to ask you a very great favour, which is, that you will be.go good as.tu give me back the injected head. It will form a desirable preparation in my tmeeetn. 'this I ask as a favour. You have two heads. hilt T won; the best; send glass and all; I will pay the package, &c and rend me any rarity you can spare. Pray come and see u- 1 ant new living in style, with handsome Oquipage.and I intend keeping very choice company. 1 beg my Ent remem brance to D:t.. Rawer and to Davis. " I am, very sincerely, yours, ." ROBERT BAKER. .‘ We are living very gay here—l have porcbased Lucy an Arabian horse,aU widts, and long mane and long tail. She is quite the talk of the plate.

Lucy is much improved on the harp and Italian singing. I beseech of you and Mts. R. to come to us. I wain her advice. . The second letter, to which he (Mr. Sergeant Mere st ether) alluded. ran as follows : Sidcliff, August 20, 1826. 4' Much respected Sir,—For some months since I have been affectionately attached to your amiable and much injured Eliza Raymond. I love her virtuously, and I will not marry her until I have gained not only yos.r own, but also bet mother's. consent. I am.a man of independent fortune, and if Eliza is my wife, I will always sheW attention and honour to her. If your favourable reply comes next letter, our marriage day shall take place in one month, and for your satisfaction, and to shew her to her neighbours, I will bring her to your own parish church, and there with her undergo the solemnization of marriage. " I have the pleasure to subscribe myself, " Your affectionate, ROBERT BAKER." " P.S. The vile Irish seducer, about a month since, sent for the het* female child to take under his own protection. I hope he is reformed to ways of virtue; at all events, I hope he will nut expose his vices to the child. " To Mr. John Raymond, Fain, • Thringstone, Leicestershire." • Two servants of the defendant wets then called, who proved that their master was in the habit of committing all sorts of excesses; he would sometimes suddenly order his horses out, and work them almost to death, without • ever giving them the slightest rest on the longest jour . nies; he had occasionally gone to some on e *house very JI AO' night, ma'am without stopping a moment, in itantly go back again to his own house; sometimes on the road he would pick up common girls and othpr . improper persons, and let them' occupy a seat in his carriage along with his son and daughter. Mr: Scott, the brollier•in-law of the defendant, and a Wisher from the Old London Inn io this city, spoke to the insanity of the defendant. A Clerk from one of the Exeter Banks stated, that on Saturday Mr. Baker came to their office for the pur pose of writing a letter, by which stock of his. in Lon don might be sold out. He appeared to be remarkably nervous and agitated, so much so, that the Flak re marked to somebody alter he was gone, that he felt sure that there was no such stock to sell est. Levy Was with_the defendant on that occasion, looking over his shoulder, and to him what he should write. Chief Justice BEST asked Mr. Sergeant Wilde if he proposed to carry the case any further? Mr. Sergeant WILDE said, that he had never any desire to prolong a case that to him appeared not to be tenable, but %kith respect to The present, he had. a dif ferent impression. Hr entertained no doubt of the in sanity of Mr. Bake,. but he. also thought that there was no evidence to shew that the plaintiff was e.t.a:- of it. Chief Justice BEST said, that if the ease were to go on any farther, it would estainly be necessary for hiM to adjout it it ; fur the fatigue was too great both for the Jury and for himself; but let it go on as lung as it • would, he should still leave the question to the Ju. y, whether the 861. which Levy bad already received was nal quite sufficient to elver any demand that he might .have upon the defendant. • Mr. Sergeant WILDS then. addressed ehe.Jury for the plaintiff. and pressed upon their coiesidera'ion that the present case was more a.quesnon of fact than ef law ;• that no tcoin had . ken '.,hewn why an honesr trailer man, having a just demand, should not be entitled receive the amount of his claim. Chief Jiistice BEST said, that he should• be ashamed of himself it, in summing up so disgr ,eeful is case, he allot, ed himself to occupy the attention of thetJury for more than a minute. It was impotsihle for any honest man to doubt, for an instant, that great advantage had been taken•ot the infirmity of the defendant, and minic cularly by Levy to palm anything Oh the weakness of his intellect; and no man who had watched the rro gress of the case could possibly believe that the hank .notes and sovereigns, which formed so considerable aft Kern in the plaintiff's demand, had ever been placed - in the hands of the defendant ; the evidence'of the waiter appeared to him to get that matter eetirely It rest; and he therefore left it to the Jury to say, whether they did not think that Levy ha.l been amply repaid for every thing, the defendant had had of him, by the sum of 861. which had already been paid him ? • The Jury, after a short deliberation, decided, that th• 861. was a full remuneration, and •therefore gave their verdict for the defendant. Chief Justice BEST demanded of the defendant's Couniel,'whether they were not . remit to bring an in dictment against the parties for a conspiracy?. Mr. Sergeant MEREwrruza said that they were retcly to do whatever the justice of the case reqUired, and would avail themselves of the suggestion of his Lordship. Chief Justice BEST said, that there were two conspi racies—the Exeter conspiracy, and the Sitlmouth con• spiracy. With respect to the former, he ordered Levy, the plaintiff, who was in Court, into custody, and eras about to issue his warrant for the apprehension of old Levy and his wife, when they appeared in Court, and were also given in custody to the tipstaff. They were subsequently bailed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION•HOUSF Saturday a street-keeper was complained against by a poor starved-looking Irish fruit-woman, who, in tears, said that the of ficer bad knocked about het basket, and tumbled her fruit Into the street. The street-keeper said that he had been ordered to rid the streets of the fruit women, and that the Gentlemen of the Ward woold accuse him of neglect of duty if he did not take every means to obey the order. The Loan Maros expreued his contempt of that sort of dial». sbion which fixed , uPon the poorest objects for the infliction of punishment as an'example. Ile advised the street-keeper to exer cise impartiality, and insinuated that there were good reasons for passing by those who were making more money tban'the wretched wonrau, who, if not allowed to exercise her calling, must perish, as thewen not admissible into the workhouse. Every one in the justice-room was gratified at the warm huma nity of this lecture. GUILDHALL. Sleitors. Cawthorne and Twigge, tea-dealers, St. Andrew's•hill, appeared on Saturday, before Mr. Alderman Kay, to answer the complaint of a decent looking poor woman, about 35 years old, one Lucy Langton, for unlawfully keeping a dog accustomed to bite, whereby she was bitten on the 9rlt MK. Toe dog. a mixture of the mastiff and terrier, was brought into Court, touted with a heavy chain. Mrs. Langton stated, that as she was passing down St. Andrew's bill, in the evening, the animal set upon her, and seized her, not by the leg, but by the upper pan of the thigh. Sbe was soon released from him some how or other, but she was severely bitten, bad paid Is. 6d. for a lotion to wash the place, and now the defendanti wished to avoid making b-r auy recompense beyond paying the surgeon. The Gentleman who appeared with the dog replied, that the ani mal was formerly kept muzzled, but the neighbours had so repeat edly taken off and kept, the muszles, that the practice was discon tinued. But still the dog was secured with a chain, and had not been unchained a moment from a truck he had been dragging, when this misfortune occurred. He had seen Mr. Cox, the sur geon, who had attended to the case, sod had been informed by him that the visible injury was a mere scratch. A scratch ! repeated Lucy Langton, 1* a tone of surprise. She evidently had net anticipated such an samaritan, and therefore - not being otherwise prepared to prove the ettent of the injury, she, in an instant, began to gather up her garments from the bottom, bending and raising the knee, so as to exhibit most conspicuously the wounded place. Exclamations act " Oh, , good gracious! oh lawk ! Don't, don't ! No, no!" forthwith resounded on all sides from a crowd of spectators of each sex, who, having heard where the bite was, did not conorive it would be possible to exhibit it without most dreadfully shocking their modesty. " I would rather nut see—l believe your statement," *aid Mr. Mclennan Key with eagetness ; and some persons averted their eyes when it became evident that Lucy was firmly bent upon re futing in the most incontestable manner, the defendant's assertion regarding the nature of the injury. " Here, Gentlemen, hem," she cried with warmth, " is here nothing but a scratch?" at the use time baring and exhibiting to , the public gaze for some moments, by a very cautious management of her drapery, only a delicately clean plump limb. There was a deep diseoluuration over about two lathes square; such an appearance as succeeds a severe pinch. After such evidence of the fact, the Gentleman was forced to allow the wound was more serious than be bad stated, and, at the recommendation of the Aldetman, retired and gave her as a com pensation-20s. _ _ HATTON-GARDEN. James Richards wa;CLriedians;iicioaof various robberies. — About three weeks ago, a person, cutting a stack of hay, in a field near Holloway, found a parcel wrapped in a new bat-lining, which contained 27 duplicates of various articles (amongst which were a gold and a silver watch), several baskets of tools, &c. and sundry housebreaking implements. Mime were placed in the hands of Reed, sen. the officer, who gave information to the different pawn brokers, and the prisoner was apprehended at the shop of Messrs. Lamb and Gideon, in Stanhope street, Clare-market, having called there to stop the silver watch, of which he said he had lost the duplicate. He was recognized at the Office as having been only liberated from the New Prison the day previous to calking at Stan hope-street. A hat.haiing u quite sew, and corresponding with the. one in which the duplicates were wrapped, was found on him. A gold watch, pledged at Mr. Peachey'a, in Aldersgate-street, was also identified by a Gentleman named Williams. He denied any knowledge of the parcel, and was remanded until Friday. MARY-LA BONNE. • &irak Mawr and lialsaars yd - wer; brought sip on Saturday, in the custody of Webster and Gibbs, the officers, chatged with having a quantity of melted pewter, sheet lead, and pewter pots,in their possession, supposed to be stolen.—lt appeared that the officers received information that pertons were seen carrying sacks full of . property front a stable belonging to Lloyd, who is a marine store dealer, under extremely suspicious circumstances. They repaired to her shop, and kept watch until the shutters were taken down, when they entered the place, and mentioned their suspicions 'to Loyd, who invited them to search the place; while they were there Moore came into the shop with a basket contain ing niched pewter and some pots, wheels she offered for sale. She was detained, having confessed that sbe had stolen them in con sequence of her poverty. The officers searched the house of Lloyd, and found concealed large quantities of lead and melted pewter in the cupboards and in bags; and on proceeding to the stable behind the house, a quantity of sheet lead, cut in pieces, was found. Moore (an interesting young woman) cried very much during the investigatiuo. She did nut deny having stolen the pots, but poverty and starvation urged her to the commission of the act. Her hus band bad left her nine months ago with her child, and she bad no means of supporting htrself and infant. Her appearance indicated great want. JJoyd said she came honestly by the property found in her p, pr. geisha]. She was convicted under the Statute in the penalty of .51. and Aware was remanded. LA XII3ETII-STIIERT. _ .

The individual against whom the accu sation was brought for having the tobacco in his possession, is named Marsh Basler, and the evidence affecting him may be thus briefly summed up.—Saturday morning, the 4th inst. a lighterman and, his sons missed their barge front its moorings, but presently recog nised it, baying on board the prisoner and another individual, both of whom they took into custody. On examining the vessel they found fifty bales of tobacco. The witnesses immedi , rely made a Custom House officer acquainted with the latter fact; and the tobacco was .11 taken to the wharf of Alfieri. Francis and White, Battersea. The officers of the Custom House depose/ to the tobacco being foreigo, and the duty was not paid. The prisoner was convicted in the penalty of 1001. and in default of payment, committed to Kingston jail. Thomas Slaws was then Charged with removing the tobacco in question from a vessel called the Deception, to the barge. This fact was proved by a person named Ross, tke individual who was taken into custody with the prisoner Barber. Ross, it seems, is a porter, who labouts generally in Fleet-market, and was cog:4rd by Barber on the morning in question to work the barge up the river. . . Stagg, whose singular appearance and rough manner excited con siderable notice, declined giving any account of the owners of the Deception.—Ele was remanded for another examination on Wed 'nesday„ iVOSHIP-STRICET. • . SIIIIMILAt CASS or Rl/1123Z1.13i1111%—Thoisas Doyle, a smartly dressed chubby-faced lad, of 14 or 15, and a boy rather younger,. named Seery Connor, were brought before Mr. Twvroan, under the following singular circumstances :=About one o'clock on I.llday morning, the two prisoners were in the Kingsland-road, and told a watchman, who accosted them, that they were looking for a kid& ing. The watchman, having some suspicion. searched lloyk's pock kets, and found some silver and a number of sovereigns. The lads were then taken to the watchhouse. Orturd, the night constable, produced a pocket-book, which he loon& on searching the p risoner Doyle. It 'contained sove reigns and half sovereigns, amounting, with the money already mentioned by the watchman, to the sum of 291. 7s. The prisoner 's name and address were written in the rover of the pocket-book, which contained alto • card of address, •• Charles Edmonds, 9, 'Change-alley, Agent, &e. The officer kept the boys at the wrtch house, and in the morning proceeded to No. 9, 'Change•alley, to make inquiries, and discovered that the lad Doyle had absconded with two tin cash boles, one of them containing 321. 151. in cash, and the other filled with documents of various descriptions, uid to be valued at several thousands of pounds. Upon this discovery, Orford, and another constable, named Smith, re turned to the watchbouse ; and Doyle at length told them, tnat if they went to $ spot which he described, near Ball's Pond, Islington, they would find the boxes concealed under some bricks. They accordingly went there with him, and found one box con taining the papers, and the inner part of the other, but the case of she latter was gone, supposed to have been found by some boys playing about the spot.—The officers said, that they believed that Connor knew nothing of the robbery. They understood that Doyle proceeded tolsilagton with the boxes, where be broke them open in search of the money, and deposited them where they were found, and afterwards fell into company with the other boy, whom he treated to the Coburg Theatre in the evening.-Doyle was then remanded for another examination. ACTIONS FOR LIBEL If Judges certified oftener than they do, when a shil ling or a farthing damages is obtained in an action of libel, we should not see the real business of Courts of Justice so much interrupted by trumpery actions for libel as of late years it has been. Juries ought to be universally aware (and we have done what we could to inform them on the subject), that where they think that the damage which a plaintiff's charabter has sustained, by what is called a libellous production, is amply repaid by a shilling or a farthing, the expenses of the proceed ings on both sides—commonly called the costs - -fall upon the defendant, and may amount to two or three hundred pounds. This is rather a severe fine for an injury estimated at a farthing. But the Legislature has lett it to the discretion of the Judge who tries the cause, when damages so low as not to amount to forty shillings are given, to certify that the plaintiff ought to have no more Costs tban'damagets, by which means he is obliged to 14i, his'owas law expenses, as every man ought who speculates spots making the machinery of justice instrumental to extortion. Judges, however, have, until lately, so seldom' availed themselves of this discretionary power, that it became nearly a dead let ter. What was the consequeoce ? Needy and adven turous attorneys—such men as have brought great dis repute upon a profession otherwise respectable—made it a practice to instigate other needy and adventurous persons lit themselves to bring paltry actions of libel against newspapers, well knowing that, although Juries should confine the amount of damages to a single far thing, yet the said attorneys would have enormous bills of costs against the defendants, and would de rive no inconsiderable profits Irons the transaction. They preferred to briag their actions against news papers, because they tonsidered such establi.h meats able to pay—or, as the expression goti, in the slang vocabulary of the pettifoger," worth powder and shot; and also because they believed the Judges had, in general, a prejudice against the Press, and that such prejudice would be of great assistance to them in their sordid and'dishonest object. Bah Judges, and Juries seem now " to . open their eyes" to the real charac ter of such proceedings; and, indeed, if Judges were-to continue to shew the reluctance which they formerly did to Certifying against costs in such cases as we h'ive dersi ibed, it would make it necessary for Juries to returh verdicts for defendants, instead of giving the other pant,. a farthing damages, to prevent defendants, who ought never to have been brought into Court, 'from being ruined by law expenses.
