This was a cause of nullity of marriage, brought by Charlotte Aughtie, widow, late wife of William Aaghtie. of theparish of St. Mary.le.Bow, Loudon, by reason of affinity. It appeared by the evidence produced, that Gabriel Aughtie, the former husband of Charlotte Aughtie, and William Aughtie, (the rrtnow proceeded against) were own . brotbers._ aisO appeared by the former , marriage, there were, ink* tin children, five of whom were still living, and by the latter marriage one child.- These facts, together ''with other necessary facts, being.satisfactorily proved, the Court observed, it had no difficulty whatever in pronouncing this to have been an unlawful marriage, and therefore pronounced so accordingly. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEB. 24. SELWYN V. BRIDOMAN AND REED. This cause, which came on this day, was, after some able arguments by the ATTORNEY GENERAL on the part of the plaintiff, and Mr. Gwartow for the defendant, agreed by the Counsel on both sides to be referred.—ln the course of the argument Lord EL- Lexsostoucist passed a high encomium on Mr. SEL• WYNN Abridgment of the Law of Nisi Pritu, in which the Counsel on both sides most cordially joined. FEBRUARY 26.— VERE, ESQ. V. LORD CAWDOR. This was an action by the plaintiff, a gentleman of fortune in Devonshire, to recover a compensation, in damages, for the loss of two favourite dogs belonging to the plaintiff, which had been killed by the defen dant's servants, on his Lordship's grounds. It appeared that as the plaintiff was travelling to his country seat, in passing through Pembrokeshire, near the seat of the defendant, the carriage received an injury, *which obliged him to stop to have it re paired ; and; in the mgan time, his dogs having wan dered wl the:clefendant's grounds, two of them were shot by his Servants, having special orders to that effect from their master. Lord Er.7.l.snoaouou said the Jury were not to give exorbitant damages, according to the estimation • the.plaintiff might put on his dogs ; but a fair and liberal compensation for the loss of the dogs accord lag.to their value.—Damages X2OO. EASTWOOD 9. NBWHAM• This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who • is emploYed at the West India Docks, to search per solll passing out. The defendant has the superin teadarice of a stack of warehouses is the Dock. On the 15th of August, 1808, the plaintiff was on duty, and on defendant attempting to pass the grate, plain tiff proceeded to search him, as wits usual with those who were strangers, by running his hands down the outside of his cloaths ; the defendant refused to suffer himself to be searched, and threatened to knock him down, if he persisted ; the plaintiff did persist, and the defendant carried his threat, into execution, by knocking him down with a stick which he had in his hand. Verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages 20s. FEBRUARY 27. — SULLIVAN o. HARRIS. This was an action to recover £36. 25.. for 56,000 quills, sold by the plaintiff to the defendant, at 13s. per thousand. The defence set up was, that the quills were not according to contract, viz. with the exception of 15,000 English, to have been all Irish. It however appearing they were the same which were seen by the defendant at the time of purchase, a ver dict was given for the plaintiff. During Mr. PARKE'S address to the Jury on the part of the plaintiff, an attorney of the Court ism- ducted himself so indecorously, that his Lordship or dered him out of Court. He refused however to com p' , till his Lordship threatened to commit him, and cailed for an officer, when he retired. • THE PRINCE OF WALES ye Slit JOHN ST. AiillYNa BART. AND OTHERS. Mr. DALLAS moved, on behalf of the defendant, for leave to demur alone to the information and bill, • notwithstanding orders fur time 44 tb plead answer or , demur, not demurring done." He admitted, that by the practice of the'Court, he was not entitled to ask it, but was about to state reasons why it should be granted • under the particular circumstances of this case, when he was stopped by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, who ob served, th Ai the application was clearly contrary to the rules of the Court ; but that he would save him the trouble of proceeding farther, by declaring that it was his Royal Highness's particular wish that no ob. jection in points of form should be interposed to the fair discussion of the real malts of the cause, or to prevent the defendants shaping their defence in any manner they might think most advantageous to them selves ; and therefore, that he had his Royal High ness's express commands to consent to the motion, and requested that such commands might be *specially inentioned in the order. • " DALE Sh EMMETT. Til'S was an action brought by one horsedealer against another, to recover back £35, the sum paid foe a horse, under a warranty of being sound. It ap peared from the evidence, that the hone was tried by the plaintiff previous to his making the purchase.— It was sent to the plaintiff's stable m Chiswell-street, where it remained near a fortnight, and was daily exercised by the plaintiff's me, in the ride. At the end of a fortnight, it was let to travel in the service of Mr. Goldsmid, who had it out 14 days, and per formed a journey of near 300 miles. The horse after wards remained another fortnight at the plaintiff's stables, when, at the end of that time, it was disco vered by the plaintiff, that, instead of a sound horse, he had bought a broken-backed one, and lie applied to the defendant to take him back. This was refused ; and the plaintiff brought his action to recover back the price paid for the horse, and the amount-of his keep from the time of the purchase. A number of witnesses were examined ; and after a trial, which occupied neatly the whole of the day, the Jury found R. verdict for the defendant. SHRINE, ESQ. V.

Thomas Banker and Margaret Hugies were indicted CURRIE and Co.

The prosecutor had - been spending the evening with some friends, and in his way home called in at several public-houses and drank so often that he at ' length became so intoxicated that he knew not wlli ther he was going. About five o'clock on the ensuing morning he lottnd himself seated-in a room in George. yard, Wbitechapel, and his pockets picked of all his property. The prisoners lived in the house, and a pawnbroker proved that Hughes pawned with him a watch which the prosecutor identified as his. It appeared also, from the evidence of a police offi cer, that the female prisoner had told him she believed the male prisoner, who lived with her, had nibbled the prosecutor's watch, and said if he went up to him he would probably come it; but if he did not, she would tell him where it was lumbered (pawned) in the Mi ,nories. When she told this tale, she was a little in toxicated, and on the ensuing morning denied what she had said ; but the officer made inquiries, in the Minories at different pawnbrokers, and at last disco vered the watch, and traced it to the possession of the prisoners. They were both found Guilty. R. Davis, a carter, was indicted for embezzling 6s. Bd. the property of D. Allen, his master.—Guilty. The following were convicted of felony : . 3. Warner and W. Finaughty, for stealing a quantity of opium wad bees'-wax, from the London Docks ; J. Newton and C. Jones, for stealing two books ; F.

SHERIFF'S COURT, FEBRUARY 17. COHEN V. THE LATE SHERIFF AND CAWDRON. - Mr. LAWNS, for the plaintiff, stated that this was a writ to assess damages in an action brought by Mr. Cohen, a merchant, in Great Alie-strect, for a tres pass, committed by thndefendant Cawdron, a sheriff's officer, in levying an execution en leis goods, intended for another person of the same name, unconnected with the plaintiff ; and that the plaintiff's motive for bringing this action was, to punish the misconduct of the officer in his mode of making the levy, and conti nuing in possession a whole night after the mistake was discovered. It appeared from the evidence of the plaintiff's footman, that Cawdron, with his follower, came to the plaintiff's house in the evening of the 19th of June, that he inquired if the plaintiff, or if any ( f his clerks, were at home ? and on being answered in the negative, he desired the witness to open the door to his follower ; this the witness declined doing, unless he would inform him of his business, which he refused to do ; and while witness went into the parlour to acquaint his mistress, defendant let the follower in, and sent him down into the kitchen ; that witness and plaintiff's wife became alarmed, supposing the men were come to rob the house ; and. that she, together with two other ladies, ran into the street, where a considerable mob gathered, and several of the neigh bours coming in, at length prevailed upon die man in possession to shew his authority. Cawdron having by that time left the house, the man remained in pos session till ten o'clock the next morning, when he was removed by defendant. Mr. Pearce, the plaintiff's Solicitor, stated, that he ' was sent for by plaintiff about eleven the same even- ing ; that, upon being informed of the mistake, he went to Cawdron's house to apprize him thereof '.— 1 that the defendant being in bed refused to rectify . hie error that night, but promised to do so next mornipg. The Under Sheriff, in summing up, commented very severely on the conduct of the officer, which he considered grossly reprehensible, in executing the warrant with so little attention to the feelings of the plaintiff's family, and without informing them of the nature of the business, and that upon being convinced of his mistake, he did not immediately rectify it. He also considered the plaintiff highly justified in bring ing this action, and recommended the Jury to give such damages as would be an atonement for the in jury, and a warning to Sheriff's officers in future. The Jury gave a verdict of forty pounds; which the plaintiff immediately declared his intention of re , mitring. To moiViAS TAYLOR, ESQ.

An acquaintance of snipe, who by the brt altirg nut at as old Venereal Complaint (attended by a complication of diiardde arising therefrom) was reduced almost to a skeleton, aid althe he had the best medical advice which could be obtained, and tried a variety of patent medicines, nothing could be procured WIWI seemed to sait his case, or do him any service ; he remained ins most reduced and pitiable situation for two years, unable to fut. low his profession, and scarcely able to walk or even to uacti on his legs ; in fact, no one who knew him ever suppthed it possible ifor him to recover. He was advised at last to try your Leakes Pills—he did so, adhering strictly to the directions given *ids them—he had not taken more than two boxes, before he found an alteration for the better—this encouragesk him to proceed and by taking a few boxes more he found his appetite and strengt* gradually return, and is now as healthy and stout as any trim, know.

I then took a bottle of Dr. Gilbert's Vegetable Antiwar butic Drops, soon after those wounds healed, and the humatr abated, but not petsevering in the medicine a sufficient time , violent swelling affected one of my legs, and my knee became so stiff and enlarged. the faculty deemed it a white swelling, and treated it as such for a considerable time. i now became a per feet cripple, soon after my afilictions were greatly increased by a powerful inflammatory humour, which *titled in my eyes Ana nearly deprived me of sight; my whole frame now became her thened with this disease; the crutches which I had long used were no longer of use, 1 became confined to my bt.d. The la•t advice I had from my surgeon was to get myielf removed to one of the London Infirmaries, this I did not approve of, it appeared . doubtless whether I could undertake the journey. At m y lute! request I put myself a second time under a course of 1 r. Vegetable Antiscorhutic Drops, resolving to give them a fair trial ; the wonderful effects produced a favourable alteration, and by the time I had taken seven or tight bottles, I became a ,( , end man, every wound healed, my leg and knee returned to their for mer size and strength, having for several months not felt the Iraq symptom of the aforesaid complaints, and I enjoy a very gooll state or health.

Sealy for returning from transportation before the expiration of his time, were capitally convicted. H. Clank was indicted for stealing, on the 2d of January, promissory notes to the amount of £1525, the property of Messrs. Large and Co. bankers, at Wootton Basset. Mr. GURNEY stated, that the note, were put up in a package and delivered at the Swan with Two Necks, Lad-lane, to go by the Bath mail, to Wootton Basset. The package was delivered to the mail in town, but *as missed at Bath. Hand bills were distributed;.and the prisoner would be' proved to have passed several of these notes . in Ceti does names ; a person would also prove that t to pri- soner had said he had £l5OO in notes to dispose of, and he offered a premium to any one who would assist him in circulating them. The facts, as stated by gr. Gurney, were proved in evidence, and the prisoner was convicted. The two following objections taken by 'the prisoner's Counsel, were left for the de cision of the Judgesl—artrst, whether the instruments called promissory notes, after payment of them by the London bankers, and being in a state of transmis sion from them to the country bankers, but never having reached them, and, consequently never having been re-issued, could be legally held to be promis sory notes, as stated in the first count ? Secondly, whether the stamp upon these pieces of paper, as des cribed in the second count, was, before the actual re issuing of them, of any value, so as to be the subject of a felony, or, in other words, whether it be felony to steal a stamp, unless an Act of Parliament declares it to be so, as in the case of lottery tickets? Robert Jones was indicted for feloniously embegzling £l5, the property of his master Thomas Davis, the landlord of the Golden Lion public-house, King street, Westminster. It was stated by the prosecutor, that, on the 22d of November last, he sent the prisoner to Messrs. Moreland and Co. bankers, in Pall-Mall, to get change of two country bank notes, the one for five and the other for ten pounds, with which be ab sconded.—Guilty. Anne Cowen and Frances, Sibley were capitally in dicted for assaulting Solomon Abrahams in the King's highway, and taking from his person, and against his will, a pocket-book containing .€35 in bank notes. The prosecutor stated, that on the night of the 28th of January, he met the prisoners in Whitechapel, who were women of bad character, and while in conversa tion with Cowen, the other prisoner came behind him, and seized him by the neck, while Cowen took from his breeches-pocket the property in question—NotGuil:y. William Jones was also indicted for robbing John Vurley, in Whitechapel, on the night of the 7th of February, of a silver watch—Guilty. Yesterday Ass Flynn was indicted for stealing from a butcher in Whitechapel a shoulder of mutton. It appeared in evidence, that the prosecutor being busy with his customers on a Saturday night, the prisoner availed herself of that opportunity, and carried away the shoulder of mutton.—She was, however, soon seized and brought back, and an officer being sent for, she was carried before a Magistrate, and committed' for trial. These fasts being proved, the prisoner was called upon for her defe4e,...and she told a tale of woe that penetrated eveq oar :—She acknow. • - . . . • - • BIRTHS. Friday last, the Lady the Rev.
