Our Readers will recollect, that this atter origi nally came before the Court on a , n tion to commit Mr. Charles Baseley for a contemp, in mar , ying a ward of Chancery, in consequence of which he was cOrinatitted to the Fleet Prison, where he has been for a long. Mr. BILL moved that his Lordship would allow a mogon to stand on his paper for Monday, which . dionld have for its objec t to con fi rm t h e M a s ter ' s re port, who had now made a settlement satisfactory to all panics. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that as this was a motion that pressed, he would allow it so to•stand. It pressed very much, as it was most material that a settlement of Mrs. Bas-key's property (411,000 a year) should be effected, proper in itself, and satis factory to all the parties Ia the mean time, he would look over the Master's report with attention. SWINTON V SANDON. Sir Sauna. Rossium said, that a Mr. Swinton, of Warwickshire, devised an evate to Anthony Daffy Swinton, the younger, charged with an annuity of ASO to a lady who ntirried the defendant, Sand in. Swinton, the lounger, died in India, leaving a will; bat before that will arrived, Anthony Daffy Swioton, the elder, now under transportation in New Sloth Wales, caused another will, purporting to be that of his son, who dies( in India. to be priived in the Lc clesiastical court. His Lordship would recd ect that this matter came some time ago before the Curt in the form of a bill 61ed by the bind creditors against the devisee. His Lordship was then pleased to order a receiver to be appointed; but in the mean time &tidos) had got into possession. in order to re. crier from the tenants the amount of his wife's an. nuity. After that a supplemental bill was filed against a person named Prestye, who had claimed as having purchased the assignment of Saodon's wife's annuity; and he' (Sir Samuel Romilly) now applied for.. an injonction to sestrain Prestige from - . Yecetving the rents, because hp purchased the assign,. W.eut of this annuity while he knew the suit to restrain - Sandon liont receiving the rents was going on, and that creceiver had beta appointed. He also applied that i Wandon should be restrained from receiving any more money on account of his wife's annuity until the sums he had already received should be paid back. Mr. RAITHRY, on behalf of Prestige. contended that this was a very harsh proceeding against his client, who nad made a bone fide purchase of this an nuity, f r which lie had paid ea . ). the LORD C9ANCCLL'iR s.id, that Prestige could stand in no better situation than Santi•in, and granted the injunction. It is expected the present public Sittings will end on Tuesday, after which his Lordship will for a day or two give judgments in his private room, Lincoln's Lon Hall. spo Monday, the Ist of September, his Lordship leaves town for his country seat, and he will sit again in Lincoln's Inn Hall about the 20th of October. He is to take several cases with him to the country, and send up his judgments in writing. GLOUCESTER ASSIZES, AUGUST is. CHARLIE OF 011,DIDLR. Richard Turner, Richard Heath, and John Whining. ham, were capitally indicted for aiding one Wiihaas hewer, in the murder of Henry Thompson, on the 14th May last. _ _ Mr. Linnow stated, that some time previous to the murder in question, a farmer of the name of Hall, at a place called Lidbrook, near the Forest of Dean, having been robbed of some wheat, applied for the assistance of Mr. Henry Thompson, the deceased who was a constable. Mr. Thompson having some season to suspect that a man of the name of William Turner had been concerned in this robbery, he pro ceeded to his house, and there found some wheat and a sack, which, on being shewn to Mr. Hall, he at once recognised to be one of the sacks which had Medi , stolen It.m his premises. In consequence Of !his sliseiserry, Ann Turner and Elizabeth Turner, itie,wite• .enti sister of William Turner, were taken i go custody, and lodged in Mr. Thomp s on's house./J twas then determined to apprehend William Tut... net ; for which purpose Mr. Thumps n, Mr. Henry Davis, the brother of a Magivrate, and Mr. Hall so out together. They met 'William Turner on the road to Ross, in company with the three prisoners, one of whom was his brother. Mr. Thompson. ! whose character as an active constable was well I known, and Mr. Davis, stated their intention to take William Turner, but to suffer the other men to de part. William Turner and the prisoners were armed , with blqdgeons. They agreed to accomp a ny ihe ' party by whom they were addressed, but finally dropped and refused to go inrther. An attempt was then made to secure William Turner, which he re sisted, mid drawing a pistol from under his shirt truck, shot Mr. Thompson dead on the spot. Mr. Baron Ganaow told the Jury it they entertain ed any doubt of the full participation of the prisoners in the crime committed by William Turner, to give them the benefit of that doubt. Vrrdict•—Guilty.—Death. The Judge ordered thrill tor eieeu►ion on Monday (this day). CUMBERLAND ASSIZES. The Assizes At Carlisle have continued three days. Monday was occupied in disposing of the most trifling causes in the paper. On Tuesday the whole day was consumed in hearing the following cause of HARTLRY V. HARRIMAN. It was an action brought by the plaintiff, a respec table Gentleman in the neighbourhood of Whitehaven, againsthis neighbour, a person of property residip* itAtiltlkte called 'Tivoli. The action was brought C4 . ttoveF* compensation in consequence of tbedelenn iiant'y' Wogs having worried seven of the plaintiff's,i isikeep. " The defendant was represented as having 'paiied much of his time abroad, without having ac quired that degree of courtesy which is usually the consequence of a knowledge of the world; for when theplaintiff sent to caution him against the danger 'ais sheep ran from the ferocious character of his dogs, ' .ie replied that his dogs were as valuable to him as the sheep were to the plaintiff, and if he pleased he could keep fifty dogs. • The damage to the plaintiff's flock was clearly proved to have been committed by he defendant's dogs, who were traced frotn the scene 'of slaughter to their own tehnel. The Jury gare the plaintiff a verdict. Dam.tges £24. 10s. BRINTOL. CLARKS V. Itnt.FlL ALIAs TUC PATIINT AOAINST MS SUHOICAL OPERATOR. The plaintiff in this act, n, whir is a cooper. sought to recover horn the delendaiit, who is a sur.teon in this city, compensation in d images for injuries sus tained in consequence of unskilfulness maw eve.' by the delendant in an operation performed upon the plaintiff's wrist, and for the loss of time which the protraction of the curs had subjected him to. Mr. SMITH stated Vie declaration; and Mr. Giza- Lag opened the case to the Jury, and stated, that the action was one of v-ry considetable nip:irtance, as it affected the plaintiff and aloydie oetem.failt• At the same time he should be sooty to state any thing upon the present occasion that would be calculated to prejudice the minds of the Jury. In the non h of September. ISI-1, the plaiiitlf was in an employ ment ass wine-cooper, in which situation he was able to earn from two to thre- guineas per week; but, 11.►vi,ag the misfortune to cut his writ with a bottie in the course of his business, he was in consequence compelled to apply to tl,e defendant for his proles sional assistance; and lie (the Learned Counsel) wds told there was but one course to be pursued in such a case—namely, the taking up of the artery. It would appear, however, that another mode was adopted by ' vie delendant, by sewing the integuments together, and afterwards applying a sudden compression to that put of the wooed. Alter this was performed. he told the plaintiff be might walk fifty miles. The poor man, however, had not more than three minutes walk to his home; and en has arrival there, it was found necessary to send for the defendant, who at tended him tour or five days afterwards, and the wound then wearing a very serious appearance, it ! WAS considered necessary to call in Dr. Porter, a physician in the city, and a Gentleman of great el-, patience. From the situation Dr. Porter found the plaintiff in, he sent to another professional gentle. at in of the name of Mortimer; when they had met ! Mr. Rude was sent to, and acquainted of Dr. Por ter and Mr. Mortimer being present, and he accord. iugly attended. They desired the wound might he opened, hut Mr. Rolle said, 14 0 no, it must not be touched." The arm was then in'a state of niortifi Cation, and in twentyfour hours longer it might have cost the plaintiff his life. Under these circuinstan. cos, it would be for the Jury to say what daimages they would give against a man, who, it appestyedi had exercised the profession of a surgeon without having the skill necessary for persons embarking its so liberal a calling. Margaret Clark examined by Mr. Smith.—She stat ed, that she is the mother of the plaintiff. He was a wine-cooper, and lived on Stoney-hill. In the year 1814., he could earn two guineas per week, and -sometimes three In the month of September, 151.5, witness's son (the plaintiff) cut his wrist with a glass bottle; application was made to Mr. Rolfes, the sur. geon, and he attended. Witness was present when he came; he said the main artery was cut, and he sewed up the flesh of the wrist ; he bound it up tight, and whoa he had done so, he said he would engage tee plaintiff should walk 50 miles, and it would nit bleed; and in consequence of that, witness's son left the house to go to his own home. Witness saw him on 'the Wednesday morning following, and she attended , him eight days, and was never out of the room five minutes at a time. She saw Mr. Rolfe on the Wed nesday morning. He came in consequence of having been sent for. Her son's arm was then much in flamed. Mr. Rolle did not do any thing to it, but ordered witness to apply wet pads to it. She asked him, it he thought there was any danger ? and he replied. 6, Oh, no, it will do very well ; there is no thing wanting but time, patience, and water-gruel." (4 laugh.) Witness consulted with a friend, and sent for Dr. Porter in the afternoon of Saturday, ..nd she sent three times to Dr. Rolfe. The first tame he said he was " busy ;" the second time, he said he was "going to tea ;" but lie and his nephew, Mr. Allen, came after she had sent three times for him. They examined the arm, and witness beard Mr. Allen sat to Dr. Rolle—" You should have usei*,The tourniquet, but now the young man cannot beir.ite": They were about to leave the room, when witness tad them, she had sent for farther assistance, md named Drallorter. Mr. Rolfe said, he was a nein he never use( ; that he had a parcel of bop set up in business, and it was them he wanted to put forward in hie, and that he (Rolle) had not lived till this tome of day to meet a parcel of boys. Cross-exatnined by Mr. Serjeant • Pat.x—The plain tiff Was quite well now, and able to work. Mr. Rolle had attended her family for two or three years. Mr. Rulte had never been paid his bill, and he had orought her son into Court tor it about twelve months afterwards, and her son brought the present action just alter he was put into Court. Dr. William Ogleby Porter said he was a physi cian, and had been in the habit of practising as a surgeon. On the night of the 17th of September, 1614, he and Mr. Mortimer went to the plaintiff's house, and found him lying in bed with a roller. commonly called a bandage, tied tight round the waist of his right arm; his hand was much swollen said livid, it was gangrened; he was in great pain, and before they parted witness sent for Mr. Rolfe, and he came, attended by his nephew, Mr. Allen. They met in the plaintiff's room, but went into ano ther room to consider the case. The result of the consultation was, that they thought it necessary to loosen the bandage, or rather to take it off. It was accordingly opened by witness and Mr. Mortimer. The hand was in a state of gangrene. If it had re mained another day, the probability was, that the plaintiff would have lost his hand. Mr. Rolfe said Ise had wished to remove the bandage before, and had cut it for Allat purpose, but the people would not_ let, him do tbky saw it had been cut. Mr. Mortimer 4 said the iitery must be tied up ; and witness obseried, that Witte bandage was not taken off, the man 'must lose his 4eand.: Much more conversation took place, but witness could not recollect it. They afterwards went into the patient's room, and Mr. Mortimer be• pa to undo part of the bandage. Mr. Rolfe said he bad not a tourniquet, and witness said it was of no consequence, as be would stop the circulation of blood. Mr. Gasataa.. 64 It is of no use to go into parti culars, Dr. Porter ; I believe it was taken off." Dr. Porter..—." We must , go step by step in our operations. The bandage was taken off, witness's thumb val on the artery, and Mr: Mortinier had tied it up." Mr. GASELEP-.—." Had it then in the fist instance been done as it ought to :!ve heen dime. Dr Porter?" Dr. P. , rter-- ,, Am I t ansxer generally or speci &ally I Mr. GASELCE —" Specifically." Dr. Porter.—As it appeared, certainly not; it aught to have compressed the artery alone, but it culiptessed every vessel in the aim, and that is the :vast) the nand woul.l have 'Atonic gangrene, rind mortification havVtollowe.t.

It the artery had not been oaten up, and the bandage had not been removed, witness thought the plaintiff would have barn in danger of losing his hand. Mr. Sutru.—ln 'Jur opinion, was it skilfully treated or not ? Mr. Mortimer.—As it is a matter of opinioo, am I bound to answer that question ? Mr. Baton GRAHAM —I am afraid you must, as a great deal depends in such CAWS upon the evidence of professional gentlemen. Mr. Mortimer—lt was not treated in the manner should have treated it. Witness's charge lair atten dance was eight guineas.—Cross.examined—He had not been paid his demand. Mr. Rolfe continued to I attend witness in consultation, and he understood Mr. Rolle supplied him with medicines, and he appeared to attend him as a professional gentleman of teputa. ;ion would, fitsts t , , ,, m . _ _ This clnael the case for the plaintiff. Mt. Strieant Pew. now rose to address the Jury. and übservid that Of all the causes that came before Courts of Judi* (hone were 01 so del.cate a nature as causes of this description ; and we all, us our anxiety after the fate of our tenon- creatures, were very apt to pity and commiserate those who were so unfortunate as In be placed in situ +dans which ex posed them to tie necessity of ailing in, in any shape, medical assistance. It alts not a pleasant thing to lose a verdict in a Court of Jus' ice, but to the de fendant it was dill a thing of greater imply tamer, because he would have not only the expenses of the action to lose, but his reputation as a professional 1111.111 might be tainted, and his future prosperity would be at stake. There was one thing which he would wish to impress strongly upcn the recollection of the Jury, viz. that Clarke had never been a sufferer, and so far be had but little claim upon the consideration of humanity; for the Gentlemen of the Jury roust have observed horn the muss-examination, that be was quite well within a ; even Dr. Porter had, with great firmness and impartiality, stated, that a month afterwards he called upon him to return him thanks for his assist ance, and then he was quite well. That the action was brought vindictively was pretty evident; for the circumstances took place in the year Ibl4, and the action wAs•not brought until the year ISl6; why s then, he would ask, (though he scarcely need insult the understanding of the Jury by such a question) were two years suieted to elapse before the action was instituted ? Why, it avoid naturally iliduce every rational man to believe that some bad passion had tnuad its way into 'lir transaction. and that some spleen had existed in the plaintiff's mind. Tile ac tion was not dimwit of until Mr. Rude put the plait.- till into Cositt, labirt:Citi been called, by rue witness. It was, no alien that the plaintiff thought any tliing 'Moth bringitn+, die action. Woul.l these cir. 4dmitances; itten';'lorm no part in operating upon the Jury in mitigation of damages, even it they should think that any damages were necessary ? It was a very singular thing, that upon Mr. Rolfe's persisting in the payment of his bill, the plain. tiff thought he could pay him off by casting reflections upon the reputation of his character._ He (the Learned Seijeant) had established, that Mr. Nolte, iu his attendance, had acted like a most hu mane man ; and the Jury had it from the moisth of Mr. MurtiMer, that the plaintiff had never paid him for his attendance, which was eight guineas. So then it stood—Mr. Mortimer had not been paid a farthing, the defendant had not been pwd ; and he would ven ture to say they never would be paid, unless it should be out of the verdict the Jury might give on this oe. easion. Having submitted these tacis to the consi. deration of the Jury, he would now take the liberty of stating what he apprehended was the law upon the subject : of this he was certain, that no man could be liable to an action for a mistake; and in order to justify a verdict against the defendant, the Jury must be convinced that there was on his part a most un pardonable negligence. or a gross ignorance. Mr. Baron .GItIIHANr, in summing up the evidence, observed to the Jury, that the result of their delibe. rations might be of the most serious consequences to the defendant ; this, however, was not to deter them from performing their duty. There was no doubt 'but carelessness would be a ground at action under any circumstances; but with regard to skiltulness, it was not required by the law of the land that a person practising as t i sitt . ggp should possess mrallitile The law, however, required that hr should have a cnntpeient cWgtee'lf skill to perform all that is irci. dental to his prokitsiorif At the sante time, the Jiry were not to ruicutilailin their assessment of damages, supposing that the detend.int had been guilty of any of the charges specified in the declAiatiein ; and the circumstance of the plaintiff being stimulated to the action, because the d e fendant was pressing for the payment of his bill, was one which ought not to escape their consideration.. The Learned Judge then recapitulated the whole of the evielence with much perspicuity and clearness; and the Jilt y, after a few minutes' consultation, flund a verdict fur the - • tiff—Dam:4Bes, Fiftc.-n - A plain
