THE KING V. rurtsme. This was a case of considerable importance to a certain , class of individuals. The defendant was ad aactioneer, and had been convicted in the penalty of EN, by the Magistrates at Session, under the Act of the 50,h of the King, common]) called the Hawkers and Pedlars Act, for having sold goods, with which he travelled from place to place, nothaving a hawker's 'licence.—An application was now made to the Court to set this conviction aside, on the grounds that the defendant was not a trader within the meaning of the Hawkers and Pedlars' Act, inasmuch as he was an agent only, selling for others ; and further, that he was not,. as the Hawkers and Pedlars' Act stated, a person travelling with goods for sale with horse and cart from town to town. The defendant was a mem- I ber of a higher class of persons. He certainly tra yelled and sold at different places, but he always tra- I - veiled by the mail. • The Comer, however, held, that it was pos-ible for an auctioneer to descend from his pulpit, put off his dignit), and bring himself to . a level with a pedlar. 'the alefeiidant had, in fact, done so in the present 'case, and wits liable to the penalty. The conviction Of the Magistrates was affirmed by their Lordships. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DUBLIN, MAY 22. C.4ITHEERT V. BKOWIiii. TALL RIECOADIENDATION OF A LADY TO TOL TLAIDTIFT.,.AII A 1•17,2. 'At the Sitting of the Court the argument in thisi turious cause was resumed. Mr. lixAcaisuaNE, for the defendant, commenced. lie said, it would be impossible, upon any principles of blown law, to sustain an action of this kind. All the authorities were against it. This plaintiff com plained of the charges. he had been put to for the ac cowilipat7o of hi s wife and the support of the child; but the r Ciant could not listen l to such a complaint. Sup pine the case of marriage with a v, idow, upon whose 44-virtue" not the slightest imputation had been cast, and that she gave birth to a child within six months after the marriage with the second husband, and nine after the death of the first, would any Court, in such a case, bastardixi the child, and destrny its legal rights, under pretext of relieving the man Who the law said was its father? Clearly not: The child in the present . cale was regularly born in wedlock, and the Court would not suffer any person to bastardize it. • If there were a tide, and an estate in question, that child must inevitably succeed to the inheritance of both. The Learned Couri-el cited a great number of apposite authorities, and concluded with stating, that if an action of this kind was tolerated in a Court of Justice, all the first, and firmest, and soundest principles of law must be overturned, and all the most valuable principles. of civil society unsettled. Lord Noitaunt.—lF you sanction this, You will en courage unptincipled men to endeavour to get rid of contracts'solemnly entered upon. Mr. llot.w au. WALSHE . appeared on behalf of the plaintiff to reply to Mr. Blackburne; but the further argument in this case was adjourned till Friday, being taw argument day, when it will be resumed. LORD ERSKINE. TO TILE EDITOR OF TILE STAR. SIR—I have read with the utmost surprise, in se veral Newspapers, the reports of what passed on Friday last in the Consistorial Court, in the suit which I preferred against Lady ERSKINE for adultery. Not having been myselfpresent, I do not know whether they, or any of them, a: e correct or incorrect; but I feel myself bound, in justice to my own character, to declare through you to the Public what the case ac tually was:—l had preferred (as I have just stated a suit against Lady ERSKINE for adultery ; but, in the course of it, circumstances having come to my know ledge which fully convinced me of her innocence, I directed my Pt octor, Mr. NICHOLL, to withdraw my suit, which was accordingly done, and afterwards delivered to him and to my senior Counsel, Dr. Swasuv, a written paper to that effect, and entreated them that this reason might- be stated in open Court, in justice to Lady ER,KI sr.. . We had also agreed on a deed cf separation; but because I would nut execute it until the suit had been withdrawn, that my motive for withdrawing it might not be misinterpreted, the suit was continued by Lady ERSKINE'S Proctors against me, which gave the op portunity of reading my pappr in Court, or of hav ing the effect of it•stated by my Counsel: but, from the reports of what passed in several Newspapers, I found, to my great surprise, my Counsel maintain ing Lady EttsKlNE's guilt, though the evidence still continued secret, and though I had instructed them to declare my fullest conviction of her innocence, and imputing also to me the baseness of cohabiting ith Ler, believing her to be guilty, though no such allegation w:is before the Court. Being ignorant of what passed in Court, 1 impute neither malice nor mistake to any of the several Reporters ; but knowing that my Proctor and my Learned Counsel must eon fitm What I have stated, it is my intention to attend in the Court on the sth of June, being the next Court day, to justify my conduct to the world. In the paper abovementioned, which I desired might either be read or the purport of it brought be fore the Court, I stated, that having sow a full con viction of her innocence, I should thinkit wicked to submit to the Court for its judgment, and to the world through the publication of the evidence, what in my'conscience I believed to be unfounded. • I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Sunday, May 27. - . (Signed) ERSKINE. Last week, the servant-man of Messrs. LITTLE, millers, at El e, received a parcel by the Lynn-coach, contaiiing what was at first supposed to be part of , a bride-cake. The man, thinking the parcel was for his masters, gave it to them, without having opened it. Mr. GEORGE LITTLE, supposing the cake to have been sent by someof his friends, ate part of it, and , gave the remaining part to some others of the family. They were all immediately taken ill. Three of them h av ing ate but sparingly, soon recovered; but Mr. LtrrLE suffered the most excruciating pain for some days. It has since been ascertained that the cake - ->f Si - ish flier CRII)4II,L • • • - . r The following are the Documents which were read on Wedres . day night,ln the House cf Commons, by Mr. Buvrox. They are ctirious.. Whilst, historically investigating the subject, observed the Hon. Member, he had di-c• ,, ei ed a curious letter, which was written by a Magistrate of the County •of Somerset toethe• Lord Chief Justice, in the time of Queen Elizabeth. This letter contained such an account of the state of society in Somersetshire, as was calculated to damp the joy of those who lamented that the glorious days of Queen Elizabeth ,had passed away. The Magis trate wrote thus: I may justly say, that the able men that are abroad E seekings the spoil and confusion of the Lind, are able, if they were re duced to good subjection, to Sive the greatest enemy her Ma jesty hath a strong battle ; and, as they are now, are so much strength to the enemy. Resides, the generation that daily springeth from them is likely to be most wicked. " These :pare neither rich nor poor ; but whether it be great gaine or mutt, all is fish that cometh to net with them ; and yet 1 sale, both they and the rest are trussed up apace. 1 . In which default of justice, many wicked thieves escape. For most commonly, the most simple countrymen and wom en, looking no further than to the loss of their own goods, are of opiuion, that they . would not procure any man's death, for all the goods in the world. Others, upon promise to have their goods again, will give faint evidence, if they be not strictly looked into by justice." This conveyed a pretty picture of the state both of the law and the country at that time; and there was a very remarkable passage upon the state of the laws in a Speech of Queen Elizabeth to her Parliament. It was follows: Lawsorrithout execution, be nothing else but pen, ink, and parchment—a countenance of things, and nothing in deed—e cause without effect—and serve as much to the good governance of the common weal, as the rudder of a ship cloth serve to the good governance of it without a governor—and a serve to as good purpose to direct men's actions, as torches do to direct men's goings in the dark, when their lights be put out.. Were it nut great folly, crow ye, yea and meer madness, for a man to pro vide apt and handsome tools and instruments to refornt and prune his trees withal, and then to lay them up in fair boxes and bags, • without any usrsof them? And is it not as strange, trow ye, to make laws to reform men's manners, and to pfune away the ill branches and members of the•common weal, and then to lay up those laws in fair books and boxes, without execution of them? and not to execute them, is to breed a contempt of laws and law-makers, and of all Magistrates, which is the mother and nurse of disobedience, and what she breedeth and bringeth forth, I leave you to judge." And yet that Queen executed more than 500 cri minals in a year, although she complained of the in efficient execution of the laws, and threatened in the following passage to the Commons, to send private persons to see the laws executed, if they did not exe cute them. Her words were remarkable: " Which if they forget to do (that Is, the Commons forget to execute the laws), her Majesty shall be then driven clean con trary to bee most gracious nature and inclination, to appoint and assign private men, for profit and gain's sake, to see her Penal Laws to be executed." An elopement from Horsham took place a few days ago, Miss T—r, on a matrimonial excursion with a gallant son of Mars, a Nr.,6-it. The young Lady dropped a note at the chamber doer of her mother, which informed her that her daughter would boa wife ere they should have the happiness of meeting again. Wednesday morning, a melancholy accident oc-' curred at a colliery at Silkstone, near Barnsley. Be tween nine and ten o'clock, eleven men employeJ in that colliery were ascending from one of the pits, and after having nearly reached the top, the brig gave way, and the chain breaking, the whole were unfortunately precipitated to the bottom, a depth of nearly sixty yards. Six of them were killed, and the remainder so dreadfully injured as to leave but little hopes of their recovery. Most of the unfortunate sufferers have left families. _ The landing of a cargo of smuggled goods was effected at Herne Bay a few nights since by the fol lowing stratagem : a gun or pistol was fired on the cliff, which appeared to be a signal to a boat off shore; upon observing this, the attention of the men employed on the Preventive Service was directed tol the spot where the firing took place, and a party went off in the boat in pursuit of the supposed smug gler at sea ; whilst this was doing, the cargo was safely landed and carried off into the country. In consequence of information against several per sons for concealing smuggled goods, search warrants were on Wednesday granted by the Mayor of Can terbury, on the affidavit of one of the Officers of Ex cise, in the execution of which on the same evening,4 a quantity of arms and ammunition were discovered in the house of a man named Webb, residing at the, corner of ltuttington-lane, in Broad-street, who stated that they had been left there by a noted smuggler supposed to have been connected with the persons concerned in the late murder at Herne Bay. They consisted of eleven horse pistols, a belt or pouch with eight rounds of ball cartridge, upwards.of one hun dred ball cartridges made and unmade, with the' in struments for preparing the same; all which the Officer took into his custody. The number of passengers who have passed to and from London to Margate, by steam and other packets, from the 6th April, 1820, to the same date this year, was 46,937, which was 4,602 more than the pre ceding year. A most extensive robbery was committed in the night of Monday, the 14th instant, at.the mansion of the Bev. Dr. FOSTER PIGOTT, at Mereworth. The thieves entered the house by cutting a pane of glass from a window, near the kitchen door,and then making so large a hole in the inside shutter, as to be enabled to silence a bell, which was fastened to the shutter. They then effected an entrance without disturbing the family, and succeeded in carrying off property to the amount of upwards of two hundred pounds, and got clear off With their booty. Amongst the plunder were a large collection of gold and silver coins and medals, two watches, two brace of brass barrelled ,pistols, and a quantity of linen. The following is an extract from Madrid, dated the 10th May :—" The King and the Princess air. peared in public on the Sth ; they were received with great enthusiasm, particularly on the Prado, where the cries of Long live the Constitutional King! were loud and universal. His Majesty bowed repeatedly to the multitude, and apppared highly sensible of their devotion ; but he-looked exceedingly pale, and appeared to be suffering under mental agitation. In one part of his walk, his Majesty wa • grossly in lted by an individual of the lower orders, who IN'QUEST MR-SAN:UV. HARMER. Saturday evening an Inquisition was held by Mr', SfithiON on the body of Mr.IIA4I;IER, WhO V: i :shot on Thursday by his wife. The Jury first met at .the Hat and Shears public-house, Weston street,. whence they adjourned to the Vestry-room, in•'Fooley-street: Having been sworn, they proceeded to Mr. Harmer's to view the• body. On their return to the Vestry rtiom, Hannah Studd was examined. She repeated the evidenie which she gave before the Magistrates at the ToWn-Hall, adding, that she heard her mis tress, who had been to a Banker's in the City, and received forty sovereigns, advising Mr. Harmer to convert his notes into gold as soon as pOssible. Mr. Harmer, she said, was in respectable circumstances,' and acted as town agent to his father, an eminent iron-founder in Yorkshire. Cress-esintaimed.When witness saw her mistress 7 behind the parlour door she smiled at her, on which - , the prisoner turned round and smiled again. No con versation passed, and witness went down again to the' kitchen. She then heard her master and. prisoner talk ing, and the deceased laughing. The prisoner spoke• loud. Witness did not hear what they then .said. They appeared to be wrangling, but whether in jest or earnest witness could not say, but thought it was in play. —After some time the deceased uttered a shocking oath, and said he would shoot her mistress ; on which she Heard the latter say, " Ohl you coward, is that what yon have got to fly to; why don't you use your hands as I do?" • Witness then heard the snapping of an unloaded pistol, as die had frequently heard before, for they were, always playing with pistols and frightening each, other. Mr. Harmer sometimes kept the pistols ma cupboard near the fire-place, behind' where his chair was ; but they were generally lying about. Soon after the snapping which witness de scribed, she heard a report as of loaded fire-arms.— Witness then detailed the results to the same effect as in her examination in chief. In answer to further questions; she stated, that on Wednesday the deceased had requested his wife to remain in bed with him during the whole day, as he knew he should not live long ' • and in the course of the same day he was beard talking incoherently to himself. Witness had often ,heard her mistress say she was afraid she should be shot, in fun or in earnest, some time or other. On Sa turday week witness, by desire of the prisoner, car ried the pistols to Mrs. Harmer's mother, Mrs. Hu.; mer saying she was afraid to be in the house with; the deceased, lest he should shoot her. Witness con tinued her evidence as follows: "When the deceased missed the pistols, he asked me what had become of them ? ,and I told him they were at Mrs. Delahunt's. He replied—' Oh ! d—d nonsense—go for them, and fetch me a pennyworth of crocus, aq I'll clean them.' I went, but Mrs. Delahnnt and Mrs.. Harmer (who was there with some Ladies) prevented me from' taking them home. The following day I fetched them away by order of my mistress. My master was displeased when he missed the pistols." Mr. W. Jamieson, of No. 7, Weston -street, surgeon, deposed that about eight o'clock on Thursday even inghe,saw Mrs. Harmer run out of her house into a neighbour's apparently in great distress, and the ser vant following her ; he heard the servant exclaim, " Oh, GOD ! send for a doctor !" Witness went to .the house of the deceased, whose situation he pro ceeded to describe. Mr. Harmer died in a minute or two after witness entered. Witness assisted in opening the head. The frontal bone was fractured over the left eye, and the ball was found lodged in the back part of the head. The pistol that had been flied off was lying within reach of the deceased.— On the return of Mrs. Harmer, she said, " Oh, Goo! is it true—is he dead ?" and her grief was most, distressing. Mr. 0. Atkinson, of 76, Tooley-street, surgeon, proved his having found the ball about an inch and a half behind the right i•ar. It was a small bullet, and had driven• the eye into the cavity of the brain. In other respects this witness corroborated the state ment of the foregoing witnesses. A boy, named Gilby, proved hii having, by his master's direction, cast ten bullets, his master and mistress being present. His master (the deceased) remarked, in a jocular tone, " Is it not a pity one of these is not in my brain?" the wife of the deceased replying in the same tone, " I wish it was." One or two neighbours, who were present imme diately after the transaction had taken place, were called in ; but nothing material was elicited from their testimony. The CORONER then charged the Jury, and recapi tulated the whole of the evidence to them ; who, after some consultation, returned, at eleven o'clock, a ver dict of—Accidental Death. On the'verdict being known, it was immediately communicated to Mrs. Harmer, who was in the Bo rough Compter : she appeared for some short period in a state of insensibility—recovering herself, she gave vent to a flood of tears, after which she was conveyed to her mother's, Mrs. Delahunt's, in Tooley street, where she remains extremely ill. The whole of the windows of Mrs. D.'s house were kept close shut yesterday. The number of persons assembled in front during the whole of the day was immense. Row-waxter.—Saturday, two young men, named Nu sh and Marsh, were charged with robbing Mr. Wirgman, a jeweller, in the Strand, of his watch. Mr. Wirgman, stafed, hat on Friday night, about twelve o'clock, as he and his wife were going through King-street, Covent-Garden, on their way home, the two prisoners stepped before him, and Nash snatched his watch from his fob, and banded it over his head to Marsh, who gave it to a third, and be ran off with it. Mr. Wirgman immedi ately collared them both, and some watchmen coming up they were secured. They were remanded for further examination. HATTON-GARDIN.—John Russell, a youth, was on Friday charged by Mr. J. Marton, aged 70, living in Red Lion -street, Clerkenwell, with attempting to murder him. The prisoner went yesterday morning to Mr. Marion's lodging , and was shrift into Mr. Marion ' s sitting-room, where he said he was ordered by his father to wait for him, as he was dining to pay Mr. Marson £4 rent. He waited above an hour, during which time Mr. Marion was writing; at length he told Mr. Marson he did not expect his father, who had given bins (the prisoner) the £4 to pay the preceding day, but that he had lost it, and he came to him to get a receipt for the money. Mr. ,parson tcld him he should not give a receipt before he was paid the money, on which the prisoner laid hold of Mr. Marron by the collar, pulled out a sharp knife, and held it to Mr. Marseres throat, who warded it off, and in a struggle both fell.
