i LAW MTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BtNCH, MAY 19. THE KIND U. PICTON. Mr. STEPHEN resumed his arguments, this day,Srom yesterday.—The Court delivered no opinion, but sig nified their intention of hearing Mr. NOLAN, as Coun sel on the other side, in the course of the present Term. COURT or COMMON PLEAS, MAY 'l7. DAVIS v. LADY GRANARD. This was an action to recover the amount of two 13ills of Exchange, the one for £l2 13s. the other for tel 2 16s. The plaintiff is a hatter in Bond-street, and furnished the defendant with several articles in his: line of business, for which, after a lapse of six years, she gave her Bills of Exchange, which were afterwards dishonoured, on being presented for payment. The acceptances of her Ladyship were proved', and the Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff, to the full amount of his demand. FALSE at PRISCNMENTe-GRANGER U. MAUGHELIN This was an action to recover damages for an assault and false imprisonnient. Mr. Serjeant BEST, Counsel for the plaintiff, stated the circumstances of the case. It appeared that the plaintiff, who was foreman to Mr. Sherank, sugar-re fitier, in the New Road, Shadwell, having been out on business, returned to the premises of his employer, about eleven o'clock at night, at the gate of which he found a considerable crowd of people assembled ; and, on inquiring the cause, ascertained, that it was a dis pi tc , between some Germans, who were workmen in his master's manufactory, and a party of Irishmen, who were amongst the throng. Fearing some serious consequences, he persuaded the Germans to fetire within the warehouse, and then endeavoured to per suade the crowd to disperse ; his exertions were in vain, and they continued to make a violent disturb ance. He then observed the defendant amongst the crowd, who said he was a cojistable. The plaintiff' desired him, if he was what he represented, to do his duty, by dispersing the mob. The defendant replied, he would convince the plaintiff that he was a consta ble, and, wi►hout further hesitation, seized the plain tiff by the collar, and dragged him to the watch-house, where he was detained the whole• of the night; but, on being brought before theMagistrate,George Storey, Esq. on the ensuing morning, he was liberated. The Learned Serjeant observed, that no damages could be too great for the Jury to give ; it was one of the most atrocious cases of the kind that had ever come to his knowledge. The statements of the Learned Serjeant were fully proved by evidence. The course of the trial was in terrupted by Mr. Serjeant COCKELL, Counsel for the defendant, who said, he had a plea in bar to make, which would entitle his client to a verdict. He then read the Act of the 46th of the King, for regulating the appoint ments and duties of constables, in which a clause was inserted, setting forth, that 30 days' notice should be given of any intention to commence an action against a constable, for alledb►ed misconduct in the execution of his duty, to the churchwardens of the parish to which the said constable was attached. This regulation not having been complied with, on the part of the plain tiff, he was, under the direction of his Lordship, non suited. THE LATE DISTURBARCES. Evidence given before the Committee appointed by the Court of LORD Mews: and Aldermen, to investigate by what causes and under what circumstancea some persons were killed or wounded by the Military within the City of London, on Mon day the nth of April, 1810. _ _ (Concluded from our Paper of Wednesday.) TIMOTHY DAVIS, of Trinity-square, Surgeon to the Customs, deposes as follows :—The soldiers appeared to me to behave as orderly as soldiers could, in pass ing my house. I saw a number of people assembling very rapidly, and throwing stones ; in consequence of their throwing stones,_ I saw half brickbats and tiles, which struck some of the soldiers. I saw one man struck with an half brick : I thought his skull was fractured ; he fell back on his horse. It was the rear of the Horse Guards that suffered so much from the stones. I heard them call out to them to be quiet, but to no effect, for they still kept throwing stones. I saw one person at the head of the mob, who appear ed like a gentleman, dressed very neat in blue clothes, who called out to the mob to close. There was a man upon the rails of the square who was very abusive to them. In the course of a short time, 1 heard a pistol fire, which appeared to me to be only charged with powder ; in an instant after I heard the soldiers gill out again to the mob to keep back, but they appear ed to gain on them, and I then heard the discharge of two or three pistols in a little time ; in the course f five minutes after this, a man was brought into me wounded in the arm by a ball ; from the size of the ball it should have been a large horse pistol ; I ex tracted the ball, and sent the man away. The ball was produced. EDWARD DOLBY, of the Globe, Crutched-Friars, victualler, deposes as follows :—I heard a pistol-shot fired. I heard a shout from the populace riotous ; the soldiers continued to fire till they passed my house, for the space of 200 yards ; a man was brought in wounded by a shot in the thigh ; another man by the name of Bryant, was also brought in wounded in the neck, and was taken in a hackney cc.ich to the London Hospital. Two shot entered my parlour.— Bryant is a bricklayer, and worked for Mr. Thomas, in Mark-lane. The man who was wounded in the thigh said, that he was coming down French-horn court, and a ball struck the wall, rebounded and en tered his thigh. The populace was so great, the stree' was quite full when I opened my door to take in' Bryant ; several of my windows were broke by the populace ; several came in, and those that could not, broke the windows with their hats, to see what was doing ; two windows were broken in the one pair of stairs, but I don't know whether by shot or stones ; it appears more like to have been broke by stones ; two small stones were found in the parlour, where t' c man lay bleeding; but whether they were thrown in, or brought in by any of the people, I cannot say. JOHN DUTTON, of George -street, Great Tower-hill, ship agent, deposes as follows :—I met the troops er ming from Great Tower-hill to Crutched Friars. The Dragoons came on very quietly, and I found no difficulty of going on till the Life Guards arrived : the mob was then coming out of Cooper's•row sud denly upon me, and I got on the steps. Th e e bricks attd stottes that am / was more alarmed at than the firing: the rear-guard was pelted very.much indeed; the four rear men of the Life Guards occasionally turned round anti fired. Ido not think that one of the Life Guards fired at the mob : I was in an eleva ted situation, and the balls went over my head. I observed that they pointed their pistols on a level as they sat on their horses, and not at the mob : they did not fire but when the mob came close to them, and throwing bricks and stones, and then the four rear men turned round and fired ; then the mob retreated, and the soldiers joined the main body : as the mob came up close again, throwing bricks and stones, they turned round and fired again ; and the retreating of the mob, attacking the soldiers again, and their firing when attacked, continued all along Crutched Friars. I saw the•whole, being in an elevated situation. I received a violent blow on the shoulder from one of the bricks. I saw several balls strike the wall at about Ifi feet from the ground. I observed at the time, that I never saw men act with more forbearance in my life than the soldiers. I saw about 20 shot fired; they wheeled about four or five times and fired. Was. FRISBY, the younger, of No. 62, Mark-lane, deposes as follows :—I was in the one pair of stairs room at my father's house, and I saw a man come up Crutched Friars, and take up a very large stone, and throw it at the soldiers, which struck oneof them, and almost knocked him off his horse; the soldier next him turned round and fired up the street; the ball struck tke lamp-iron, then rebounded, and I saw a man fall, who was wounded in the heel, as he was standing on the foot pavement at the corner of Crutched•friars. I saw the top of the lamp-iron broke off : I did not see the ball strike the man on the heel, but saw him fall. The soldiers were going on quietly till the stone was thrown and struck one of them. The man who threw the stone kept following the soldiers up ; he was a very tall man, with a white flannel jacket on ; and when the soldiers turned round, he ran off. LANCELOT SHARPE, N 0.56, Fenchurch-street, gro- • cer, deposes as follows :—I was in my shop at the time the troops passed by, and every appearance of regularity was going on ; they passed in regular or der until about the last six soldiers ; and then the ! people who walked came up out of London-street,' Church -rat', and Mark-lane. I was behind my coun ter. As the last six passed, they were assailed saith mud and stones ; and immediately there were three or four or more pistols shot ; we have received a shot at our attic storey; a ball passed through the window and blind over the bed on the first floor, and one over the shop door. It appears to me that the firing was not ' intended to injure the people, from the direction of the shot. The mob came from Mark-lane, London- i street, and Church-row. As soon as the horses turned' out of Mark-lane into Fenchurch-street, to the \Vest. i, ward, the mob from Aldgate came upon them ; they were solid ; they were going on quiet. There were three balls, one on the attic, another on the first floor, and the lowest shot was at near twelve feet high. Q. Did you see the soldiers fire ?—I did. Q. Did they fire together, or individually, one af ter another ?—A. Individually, to the best of my re collection, as they were insulted. Q. Did they fire by volley, or independently ? A. As they were insulted. They were provoked to fire : they were passing humbly. I had no idea of a riot till the three last, when the mob came from Lon don-street and Mat k-lane, and began pelting. THOMAS WOOLCOTT, of the City Arms, Tower ' street, victualler, deposes as follows :—I was walk. ing down Fenchurch-street. As the soldiers were coming towards me, I stopped at the end of Mincing lane to see them. Every thing was perfectly quiet at that part: I did not so much as hear a hiss there. I saw shortly after Thomas Ebrall, whom I knew ; we stood talking together for some time, and then saw firing at some distance towards Mark-lane : he was with me till the rear of the Life Guards had passed. I then saw them fire up a court where a number of the mob had gone up. I retreated a little down Mincing-lane, and there missed Ebrall. I was talking, with my back against Goodeve's window, to a young man that I did not know, when a ball passed close by my head. At that time, there were not more than two or three people standing where I was: they had all dispersed. I turned round to look at the hole it had made in the window, and saw a man lying on the floor. I went into the shop, and found it was Ebrall, who had been wounded : I saw the wound, which was on his right breast, near the collar-bone ; I immediately ,turned down to Mark lane to get a doctor, when another ball passed me ; I then requested to be let into a house there for my safety. I saw at a distance, towards Mark-lane, lumps of something flying and going against the sol diers. There were four or five soldiers who fired, who were at some distance from the others. Thomas URQUHART, of St. Michael's-alley, Corn - hill, broker, deposes as follows :—I was walking down Fenchurch-street, about half past one, I got as far down as Mincing-lane : I then met the horse coming up. I found some impediment in coming on. I got as far as Fen -court, the corner of Ironmonger's-hall. —The Life Guards had just come round the corner from Mark-lane. I observed one or two of them &re, but, apparently to me, they fired . up into the air. At that time the mob rushed round the corner, and I then saw f?.) or :30 stones or bricks, all in one volley, thrown at the soldiers. I got into Ironmonger's-hall ; and while I was there I hoard .50 or 60 pistols fired, and saw some of them fired. I saw two or three pointed downwards, but the general part were fired over their heads ; there were two or three, particu larly of the soldiers, who rode back and fired to keep the people back who were following them, throwing stones, but they appeared to fire over their heads. Wm. HALES, of No. 124, Fenchurch-street, sta tioner, corner of Fen-ceurt, deposes as follows :—On the return of the soldiers from the Tower, they went on very quietly until the rear-guard came up ; and tnen I heard a firing, and on looking out I saw the mob throwing stones at the rear-guard of the soldiers. The soldiers then kept firing and retreating. One of them went out of the rank and fired, and then joined the others, and I saw some of them cut at the mob. —The soldiers during their firing and retreating were continually pelted at by two or three of the mob, and which occasioned their firing. 09e of the mob on the pavement by my door had several bricks, broke them, andpuc them into his pocket, and then began taking \ them out and throwing them at a soldier. One of die bricks he threw at a soldier missed him, and struck a m in who was walking along on the mouth, which Wed very much, and he went as far as Goodevesshop ' and there stopped ; he was in a very Doody condi tion. There were then only two or three of the most desperate that wece thniwing, the soldiers having dri ven the greater pa 4 of the mob back by firing and cutting at them. The brick, after striking the man on the mouth, went through Mr. Phillips, the sta tioner's shop-door—there were several persons at his door, and he opened it ; and the soldiers going up to them to cut at them, they fell into his shop. I saw the mob pelt the soldiers from the corner of Mark lane, in Fenchurch-street, to Fen -court, and then the soldiers so intimidated them that they ran, some up Fen -court, and some down Mincing-lane—before that they ran up Fishmonger's-alley and Star -court, where the horse soldiers could not get at them. I observed one of the mob following them all the way, pelting them, till he came up to my house, and laid his bricks, upon the pavement, and broke them to put in his pocket. The soldiers were pelted most shamefully and grossly, and appeared to me to fire from necessity. CHARLES SWAN, of No. 125, Fenchurch-street, per fumer, deposes as follows : I was standing at my door when the military made their appearance from Mark- lane ; they passed my door without any molestation, till the rear-guard was at the corner bf Mark-lane— the rear-guard was then attacked by a volley of stones and mud, which I cculd see plain; they conti nued to throw mud for some time upon them ; seve ral stones came to my feet,at my door as I was stan ding there. There was at that time about eight pistols or muskets fired thattheard ; the rearzitard was nes{ly opposite to my door. I called out to the rearguard, " Gentlemen, I conceive it cowardice to fire in the streets of London, when you can clear the streets with I your broad-swords." Five of them immediately rallied and went down the street, and cleared the whole as far as Ironmongers-ball : they then went precipitately up the street again, to join their comrades. About four shot more were fired in my presence ; from car bines, I conceive, from their report. I did not leave my door, and I saw no more of them, but heard se veril more shot fired. Q. Did the pieces appear pointed in the air ?—A. I saw some elevated, and some pointing down. Q. Were the stones and mud thrown at the mili tary before the firing ?—A. It was before any firing : the vollies of stones commenced at Mark-lane; be fore I heard any firing. GEORGE GOODEVE I of 43, Fenchurch-street, corner of Mincing-lane, boot-maker, deposes as follows : I wat standing at my house. The soldiers were passing by very peaceably : the 15th Light Dragoons first ; the Life Guards afterwards. A collection of people had got together, but not a great many. All at once I heard an immense firing : I did not attempt to go out to look, until such time as the rear-guard arrived very close to my house. I heard them firing very fast. As they came oppositemy window in Fenchurch-street, I saw them firing very much. The people assembled to see them pass dispersed as fast as they could. This man that was shot stood alongside of me on the pave ment of my door. I withdrew back into my shop : he followed me: those collected at the career dispersed immediately in all directions. The firing continued, and I ordered my family, part of which was in the shop, to go into the cellar, telling them, the firing of shot was very dangerous, but not supposing it was so. By this time they were opposite Mr. Phillips, the shoe maker's, firing rapidly : I was looking correctly at them, saw them turn their horses and fire: the spank of the glass came against my face ; the man fell by my right side immediately : he was as near me as possible. The direction of the b.:11 was more towards me than the man, in the position I stood, but was turned off by the sash. I believe at the time they fired they were opposite to Mr. Phillips, the shoemaker's, and from thence to my house there was not an individual. I shoved the rest of the family into the cellar as fast as I could, telling them there was a man killed in the shop. The man called out much for assistance, and fell down. I saw no act of violence whatever to the soldiers, not even an hiss as they passed. Q. Where was the man wounded ?—A. In the up per part of the right breast. I saw him about two hours ago at St. Thomas's Hospital ; the ball is not yetextracted ; the shoulder is broken and dislocated. Jottx Bum., of 155, Fenchurch-street, grocer, nearly opposite Rood-lane, deposes as follows .—On th: re turn of the troops through Fenchurch-street, on Mon day, the whole of the Light Horse had passed, and nearly the whole of the 'Heavy Cavalry ; before the whole got past, I heard a very heavy firing. I was at my door, but I did not see the soldiers firing till they art ived at about No. 36 ; they kept firing, and when they got to my door, halted there, and about six of them, the rear-guard, turned round ; they turned their 'lois !s round with their heads to the Eastward, loaded, and fired ; the same men then loaded again, and part of them rode to the top of Rood-lane, fired there. At the time they fired down Rood-lane, there was no appearance of any mob.— One of the men that stood next my door turned round , and pointed his pi3tol up that court ; there were some women there, and he said, Damn you, if you don't go away, I will shoot you," or to that effect. I then locked my shop-door, and went into my dining-room and put up the window, and saw them firing oppo-1 site Rood-lane, and two of them turned round and fired up Howford-court. The rear-guard then rode back, and when they got to Lime-street they fired up Lime-street ; there was one with a round bat ; I think he had a carbine ; the rest had pistols ; they fired of--' terwards, but out of my sight. I saw no provocation given to the soldiers ; there was no crowd ; no pelting of stones, that I saw; there was no cituse for firing at the time I saw them. TimmAs Roai:nrs, of No. 50, Gracechurch-street, (the East-side), deposes as follows : I war at my shop door. The first soldiers went by very quietly : but when the Life Guards came, the streets began to get a little crowded. I shut my shop, and went up stairs ' to the dining-room. The first thing I heard was the report of two pistols. The soldiers were opposite my house, and a small crowd opposite White Hart-court. Soon after, there were three or four of the soldiers that turned their horses, and galloped up towards White' Hart-court ; before them was Mr. Holdsworth, the City Marshal, with his staff of office in his hand. I heard then two pistols firing in that direction. The soldiers came back, and then there was hooting and 1 1 hissing a good deal ; and I saw two (I believe ono was a brickbat, and the other a stone, or brickbat, apparently), thrown at them, or after them, but did not hit any One : this was near the corner of East cheap : one of the soldiers turntd round : several had their pistols that way : I heard a fir. ; and a shot lodged In the lower pane of the dinlitztonift 4 man* the first floor, just above the shop orfs4 ri Le i ..sar n _ Pamir HoLuswormt, one of the Cit y atsh a t deposes as follows :As the Rear-guard was p a iti n the Monument, I saw them with their pistols swe ar i,, and damning, if the mob did not desist, th e y wo fire. They called out loud to the mob to desi st , they would fire. The mob were.throwing dirt, h a : pieces of bricks, and stones at the soldiers. I r ut ii my horse round, and spoke to the Rear -guard, an 4 said, 66 for GOD'S sake, do not fire t it is illeg a l. It will be murder if you kill an y persons." TLeni them stop from throwing bricks and stones," w a , re gt plied by two or three of the soldiers ; but they c ud not fire. While I was speaking with them, sorneth. very hard struck me on the blade-bone of my shoulder, which bruised me considerably, and is n ow very black and painful, so as I can scarcely lift n k t hand to my hat. Th e ru bbi s h an d the dirt flyi ng the air was such that the Adjutant of the LiglitH rew put spurs to his horse, and rode off as fast as he coui t i That rubbish and dirt came from the mob who v.. et following the soldiers ; I turned round and r e d i amongst the mob who were following the s4l,ii eri , and I addressed them nearly as I,lloves : " Von kn ew me, lam one of the City Mdrskals," held up my mace, 66 your natural defender, and if you t reat ripe in this way I must leave the str eet, and the cha tgs cif the City must be put into the hands of :hose melt you are dealing so severely with. Ile Lord Y.ayQ and Aldermen are now sitting, and I will t h an k y ou to go with me back to Fenchurch.street, and see What mischief has been done, and I will go to tl,e Mayor and report." I then went to Mr. Goodeve*:, and saw a man wounded lying on the floor. At Mark-lane I saw two wounded men put jinni( coacli. While el! troops were forming upon Totter-hill to Sir Francis Burdett's carriage to pass into the Tower, they were assailed by the mob with dirt fro m t h e garden in Trinity-square, gravel, pieces of brick, and shrubs with the roots ; there was no firing then ; l said to the mob within the garden, " Consid er h ow soon these light troops can surround the garden, you will be every one secured." I then returned to, the boundary of the City, by t h e T r i n i ty n ous:. Onl their return, the General commaiding the detactt. ment thanked me for conducting the escort to ti'e Tower, and said, they should have no occasion to trouble me farther ; they should go along Londoa. Bridge. I said it was my duty to conduct them out of the City, and keep the peace while they retired. They desired me to shew them the nearest wayoutof the ' City, along London Bridge, upon which I proceeded at the head of the escort, and therefore could not see any thing that occurred in the re tr. DIED. Suddenly, on the I 6th instant, at I..apsvorrh, C4ir Eliza, the wife of the Rev. Janes M'ay, Ni. A. Rector of At.l%‘ v:i, Oxon. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. THE Advantage the Public mu s t a l wa y s d er i ve from regularly educated professional men directing almost exclusively their studies to one species of malady, was nevermore clearly demonstrated than by the unexampled success which has attended the administration of their new remedy, and the extraor dinary cures it has performed. For a long series of years Mom. CURRIE and Co. Surgeons, formerly in his Majesty's service, ban made the Venereal Disease the particular 'object of their instal. gation, and are happy in having discovered a medicine superiorto mercury, in the cure of that complaint ; it is suf f icient to observe, that the effects of this remedy are diametrically opposite to those of mercury, for though it completely eradicates every vestige of the virus, in its most confirmed stages, yet it does not in the len: injure the constitution ; on the contrary, it renovates the systert in all its natural functions, promotes appetite, and facilitstes gest ; thus instead of rvclucing a strong and vigoroos constilu Lion to the frightful condition that mercury does, it nor only serves that constitution in its primitive state, but restores areak and debilitated one to its natural strer.gth and vigour. Number. less instances are on recent record of the superior efficacy alibis medicine, its inherent and specific virtues acting as a perpetual corrective to bodily debility, whether proceeding from an excess of conjugal or illicit pleasure, or from the mote icridious, though not less destructive, indulgence of incautious youth of b.ithStEel in a certain pernicious' habit. Amidst the Melancholy variety of disorders which are the consequence of this solitary vice, there are none more afll cling than that distressing state of debility and de ficiency which prevents or embitters the matrimonial state; the unhappy sufferer broods over his misfortune, ashamed to seek re lief, until lie is reituced to such a state of weakness as to render life oppressive. To such persons it must be a consoling ri Iles tion to know, that they may now, by a new infallible mode of tre.ttinent, be restored to that greatest of all humanblessings, a s:run , j manly and vigorous constitution. In all ca ieti of debility, deficiency, front whatever cause arising. :15 well as in every species of venereal infection, Messrs.

TO THOMAS TAYLOR, ESQ. ICONSIDER it but an act of justice due to the merits of your LEAKE's PATENT PILLS, to communicate to you the following Cure, which has recently been paformed by them. An acquaintance of mine,who by the breaking out do old Venereal Complaint (attended by a complication of disorder* arising therefrom) was reduced almost to a skeleton, and alto' he had the h&c medical advice which could be obtained, and tried a variety of patent medicines, nothing could be procure' which seemed to suit his case, or do him any service ; he remained in a most reduced and pitiable situation for two years, nnahle to fol. low Ids profession, and scarcely able to walk or even to stand on his legs ; in fact, no one who knew him ever supposed it possible. for bun to recover. He was advised at last to try your Leatie Pills—he Ai act, adhering strictly to the directions given with. them—he had not taken more than two boxes, before he found' an alteration for the better—this encouraged him to proceed and by taking a few boxes more he found hi. appetite and strenbib gradually return, and is now as healthy and stout as any man, know. You are welcome, Sir, to refer any person to me f r ' a . confirmation of the above account, if it should be doubted. !ant Sir, your obedient humble servant, THOMAS PLIRDAY.
