LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JANUARY 24. WILLIAMS V. A LTENBORGUOH, IN THE MATTER OF BA DDI NGTON COLLIERY.-JUDGMENT. The pleadings in this case had been in progress during the two previous days. It was an application on the part of the Ttustees for the discharge of an order of the Vice.Chancelloi, which 4/ent to open the biddings by which the colliery in their trust had been disposed of, and to refer to the Master to approve of another purchaser. His Lordship, in giving judgment, observed that there was n ,, thing in this, case to chew that a Mr.! Bourne was not the bona fide best bidder at the sale ; and considering, therefore, that he became the actual purchaser of the colliery, this petition must be dis missed ; but in so dismissing the petition, he did not think he could give costs. CONSISTORY COURT, DOCTORS' COMMONS, JANUARY 24. Yesterday, Sir .lout Nicitot. sat and gave judg ment in the case of Hawkins v. Mackie, falsely call ing herself Hawkins; which is a suit for nullity of marriage, promoted by Mr. Hawkins against Anne Xlizabeth Fife, on the ground of a former and sub sisting marriage. The COURT said, they had looked, as they were bound to do, with great jealousy to the evidence in proof of the identity of the party, and were satisfied, that Anne Elizabeth Fife was married in 1809, at Wilitechapel Church, to William Mackie, by banns, legally ; that, after having separated from her .first husband, William Mackie, and having lived with the plaintiff for some time, she married him on the 21St of October, 1820, her former husband being still living, the mart iage with him not having been dis solved by process of law ; the Court, therefore, di rected . the relief prayed for, and decreed a disuse and nullity of the latter marriage. No other case-of importance came on for hearing. CONtiSTORY COURT OF ROCHESTER, JAN. '23. BEST V. BEST. This long protracted cause came on for hearing 10-day, but was not disposed of. Dr. Pittu.rmotte, on behalf of Mrs. Best, and in the absence of the King's Advocate, opened the case. .This was a .suit which was brought by Elizabeth Best against her husband, James .Best, Esq. of Chat• 'ham, in Kent, for separation and divorce, by reason prcruelty. The cohabitation of these parties, it would appear, had continued down to the 3d of August, 1819. The Learned Counsel then observed, that the mass of evidence adduced in the original libel, re 'Cited and charged a variety of acts of the most cruel kind to have been exercised by Mr. Best against his wife. It was stated, that on the 4th of March,.lBlB, he struck her a violent blow over thehead with a porsewhip ; and- that next nioming he put a lighted ; candle onder her bed,..and swore he would burn. her : alive;. but on her threatening to go before a Magi*. trite, to swear the peace against him, he conducted • himself with more temper for some time. He at length relapsed, into the same outrageous ccul - sesl and declaring that 'he would not keep _the peace for any Mi 2 istrate in England, would drag her out 'of bed, or pull her by the hair off a sofa: These facts .0.-. curred in 1819; and the .parties being in Maddot. *greet, Ilanover-square, London, Mr. Best caught his wife by the. neek, graved her so hardly, and other arise so ill died her, that had nut a servant come to - her assistance; she Must have been killed. Among other charges 'retorted in the course of these pro ceedings.upon Mrs. Best, it was on her part denied that she had ever thrown upon Mr. Best, as he was (olloiving her up stairs, the contents of a mug full of hot water. :The. 14th .article further pleaded., that since the B‘.l August, 3819, she had not cohabited with her husband. On the 2.1 October, 1821, the Proctor for Mr. Best confessed the marriage, but -otherwise contested .the suit negatively. In May, .1821, alimony at the rate of £620 per annum, pend . :lag the suit, was allotted to Mrs. Best; and in the same month, an allegation with twenty•one articles, with eleven exhibits annexed, was brought in on the -part of Mr. Best. This allegation propounded va rious recriminatory charges, particularly that of -adultery, against Mrs. Best. It stated, that soon after the marriage, Mrs. Best endeavoured to extort money `and a settlement from him, saying that she only married him fot.hi - that - one occasion she married him lothis money ; that on one occasion she .i i left her husband's house against his desire, and went 'to Dpver, where she remained for a week ; that she ii,ed frequently to leave his house, and continue ab- . • sent.for several days together. Mr. Best always • treated her with the greatest indulgence, but she be- • 'hayed to him with great disrespect, and would en- courage the servants to do Ore same; she used to get i drunk, and in that state tried very obscene language. .Sitiv would get intoxicated in the company of her sis- ier, Mary Halliday. It was further alleged, that Mrs. •BeSt; with • the assistance of her brother and sister, '..'• . , . ; took. away several jewels of great value, which she • - would not return to Mr. Best, who repeatedly soli- ) • cited her to do so. Mr. Best was at length compelled 1 :to call the patties before a Magistrate, who commit- . l 4 ., . ,ted.Edward.Halliday, the brother, to prison, for pre- - vatication, and detained Mary Halliday._ Next day, however, Mrs. Best appeared before the ;Magistrate (the Rev. Mr. Biown) wearing the jewels in question, of the value of 1:1375 ; and having refused to deliver 4 the same to Mr. Best, a constable, by the Magistrate's directjons, took them from her person-and gave them Vci up. It was stated that Mrs. Best would look out at , -ft the window,. or,over the garden wall, and use fami- 4. *4.0 : liar and indecent gestures to the passers by. On the t: ) lad of May, 1818, he informed her that he would not :f r;' .allow, her this use of.his carriage, which was the cause •• Lit 1. .of several abuiive words between - them. In June, : . 1818, she was, charged to have formed an adulterous Ifl' ' intercourse with a farmer of the name of Kennett "I Powth Mean, resident s = Chilham, Kent, to whom i.i i. 'she sent a ntestage.or appointment by one Johnson, 4 - . Ong •Ytitsh ; and ,in consequence met him at the it in Cielltr-rbulT, at a, house of ill fame. The seventh Article-pleaded that an action had.been brought in the A . KingqBench against Mears, who suffered judgment 4 1 ,I i . A • , to gO . ,•Againlt hi . m by default. i t Pr. FIIILLIbtORE then observed, that after the evi- • i t . desofk..should have been read, he should rely upon the '' ' eeidwit* of Ann Yoing, Mary Inglis, Mary Brooks, a nd Bbritlti ill of them servants, to chew that m r .Beitba, fretn the very first day of his marriage, petneyeted is a mum of croaky and peisecuuon • . . trainst his wife. To rebut this, the witnesses adduced on the other side mere, Mr. Best's clerk, Wickham ; Jefferies, his solicitor; Butterfield, his butler ; and his groom. He should submit, that on one side the vise of cruelty was made out, and that on theother, that of adultery Was in no sufficient manner sustained. Dr. LUSHINGTON stated, that himself and Dr. Do dson were under a difficulty in this stage of the pro ceeding, owing to the way in which the marriage had' , been pleaded , in the first and second articles of the allegation. Only one witness had been examined to the marriage ; and there was no witness in support of the truth and accuraciof the regittry extract- of marriage. He hoped, therefore, the Court would allow the contlosion of the cause (after the evidence should have been read) to be rescinded for the pur pose of pleading the marriage over again with ade quate proofs to the points. Dr. PHILLIMORE objected to this application. He was satisfied with the case as it stood; and if the proofs were not sufficient, the neglect was with his Learned Friends. Dr. SWABEY held, that the proof of marriage being the foundation of every suit for separation and divorce a mensa et tlioro (as this was), whether by reason of cruelty or adultery, that was necessary to be fully pleaded in the first place. He declared, therefore, that the conclusion of the cause was re scinded for the purpose of bringing in that preof. The evidence was then read ; but it contained se veral passages, which, on account of their extreme indelicacy, were passed over, at the suggestion of the Court, sub silentio. A female servant deposed, that on the very day of the marriage, some singers being hired to entertain the Mrs. Best ad vanced to thank them, when she was forcibly pulled back by Mr. Best. It was deposed, that once Mr. Best called for his pistols, and swore " he would let her know who he was." The same witness denied that Mrs. Best ever got drunk, or spoke contume liously to Mr. Best ; and swore, that when the coach man entered the room, she heard Mr. Best " desire him to take Mrs. Best with him to bed, for be knew that was what they both wanted." She remem bered to have heard her master, on the occasion of her having a wounded lip, decline that ititad been occasioned by some favourite friend of h"r's, While Mrs. Best protested that her parrot had bit it. At ano ther time the bell rang: witness went up stairs, and found Mrs. Best complaining of her husband's ill-usage. He told witness that his wife had been wishing for her favourite, Captain Miller, and calling him (Mr. nest) a snuffy old fool. They were certainly in the habit of applying the most opprobrious- epithets to each other. Other witnesses, and particululy those examined on the part of Mr. Best, deposed that these quarrels used to occur after-they had been drinking their wine fogether--that Mrs. Best used to get drunk, sometimes with brandy, andirequently before dinner ; that she used sometimes to drink too bottles of Champagne and Madeira, alter Poet, at one sitting; that when drunk she uttered very obscene expres sions, &c. and that she seemed so intent on vexing her husband, that she would get drunk for the mere purpose, as she used to say,, " of kicking up a row.' Mr. Best having forbidden her to go into the garden, and locked the door of it as a measure of precaution, she broke it open with the cook's chopper, and re quested one of the servants to be kind enough to aid her with a mop-stick; which, being done, the gate was forced, and she would walk in the garden in de fiance of her husband's prohibition. She was Fre i euently heard to say, " that she wonld make old Jemmy (Mr. Best) as jealous as the' devil ;" and ac cordingly declare, on tothing from a walk, that she had met this and that officer; whereas she. had, in' truth, met nobody. The man Johnson, otherwise Wash, deposed, that after due marriage Mrs. Best sent him with a message ,to Mears, requesting ;the latter to meet her at Mrs. Elder's. Among the ex hibits were two letters addressed by Mrs. Best to Mears; and the latter, in his deposition, acknow• lodged that he had given them up to . Mr. Best's clerk, and that he had, according to the appointment, met MIL Best at Mrs. Elder's, on the 6th of January, 1819, and there committed adultery with her. • The evidence being closed, the cause was assigned for another hearing. Thursday a fire (the one seen by the guard of the York coach) broke out in the coach-house of L. W. PorrtNczn, Esq. near lliggleswade, owing to the carelessness of a boy, who set fire to some straw. in a loft in which he slept. The flames speedily commu nicated to the stables, which, were consumed, and thence to the dwelling-house, the interior of which was destroyed. Last night an Inquest was hold at the Turf Tap,. the back of St. George's Hospital, on the body of Frances Jackson, the wife of Mr. Jackson, 13, Paris place, Edgeware road. It appeared that the deceased was sitting at breakfast on Tuesday week, when she. was seized with a fit, and her dress, whilst insensible, : caught fire and burnt her so dreadfully before as sistance arrived, that she died in St George's HOspital. on Thursday night. Verdict—Accidental Death. Last week as Richard Clenow, an assistant hostler; at the Red Lion, St. Columb, was sitting at break fast, he suddenly fell back, and expired. Monday sennight, between three and four o'clock, as Mr. James Keast, a respectable old man, was re turning to St. Columb, from Tolskiddi e in the neigh bourhood, he suddenly dropped dead in the road; he left the latter place apparently in good health and spirits, and within five minutes was found lying On his back, quite dead. Lieutenant FRED;RICK FOLLET, on his way from Ireland to visit his friends at Topsham, had the-mis fortune to be thrown from the top of a coach, by its upsetting, and of having one of his hands so injured ) that amputation has been found necessary? SALT.—The Public seem to requite continually to be apprised, that in all the articles of domestic and other uses, they are justly intitled to a considerable reduction in their price: but that although the re duction of the du;y has taken place since the present year began of' 14s. in the pound sterling, yet in bread, butter, and other articles or daily consumption, they have not yet reaped 'one farthing of benefit. The purchasers of Salt, and the manufacturers• of every article in which it is used, ate now reaping all the profit, without granting. ally to the consumer; not does there seem to be ally proapiett of it ; until-this subject shall be publielY,uirettigitett by authority of the diet Magistrate. the not Ise tne, men /hem the lth ii the CONFESSIONS OF A MOST OFTEM)EF ' IVOititlOrt S ;R.. . • Ourßeaders cannot fail to recollect, dhlitiellotg the-last gang of unhappy 'criminals who eoileted their offences with their lives, at the Old Bailey•overe two young•men named Frank Par Von: and• Corbett alias Watson. These persons, it may also be remembered, were convicted of a borglary, and steal ing to a large amount in money, at the Blue Anchor public-house, kept by a man warned Crawley, eie Blue Anchor-yard, Rosemary-lane, a house which had formerly been a notorious flash-house, or place frequented .by . thieves ; and where these- men, and some others, succeeded in carrying off the whole sum which the publican had set apart for the-payment 4'41 his brewer the next day. In the accounts . given in the newspapers of the execution .of these guilty men, it was stated, and truly so, that Purdom to the last; denied being in any way concerned in Crawley s i robbery, though he had been in the public-house se veral times in the course of the Sunday evening on which it was perpetrated. It was also at the same' ' time stated, that he confessed to the Sheriffs, that " lie had been a very bad fellow," and that he de served to die by the hand of the executioner, though not for the specific offence. of which he had been found guilty. How truly his over-burdened and self-condemning conscience might force him to admit that to have been his desert, will best appear from the following minutes of his Confession, taken down from his own lips by one of the Wardsmen who SAC up with him, and his unhappy partners in iniquity, the night previous to their execution. We lay before our Readers this narrative in the writer's own phraseology, simply adding a few observations to elucidate some parts.of it which appear obscure, or but darkly hinted at : A ?RUE COPY OF THE CONFESSION OF PRANK PURDOII AND WILLIAM CORBETT, WHICH TOOK PLACE 7AII NIGHT PREVIOUS TO _EXECUTION. " 1 remained in the cell, No. t, with the above-mentioned men and' John Roberts—who was executed with them, for a highway robbery on Tower-hill. When We (the narrator and his brother ~damn) first entered the cell, W. Carbett made use of the hortible expression,.' may his soul never enter the Kingdom of Heaven; if PurdOtn and his brother Joseph(Coiteft) were not totally innocent..—PUrdoti, in 'answer • to that, said, If he (William Corbett) Ilad stated that at the time of the trial, they should have been acquitted; but he would not dolt, but endeavoured to hang him (l,'_urdorn) and save himself.' Portions then said, if he was executed, he should be murdered; not Ind that he deserved hanging twelve years ago.' Ile then went on to state, that he had been guilty of every crime imaginable, even murder! He then • said, that the woman with whom he lived was not his wife, but the wife u( hiscousin; and that by Purdom she had three children, one of - which three, the elder, is now living. The youngest is since dead, during the father's confine ment in the cells; but as to the second child, the death of that lays at his bands I • " Ile then went on to state as fellows :—That when the child was about four months old, .he was oblige'd to conceal himself for having nearly killed a mat's whom he had robbed ; and during his confinement at home, he most cruelly beat the woman above spoken of; and when the infant was crying, he took it by the arm and threw it to the other end of the. room against the wall, making use of the horrible exp;: - 7ssion, There, you little go to i after which (he said) the ch il d breathed no more. " Ile also said, his cruelty to the'svoman, the mother of the murdered innocent, ought to have hung him ; but he had escaped the hands of justice for that. He said at that present time there was a watchman who had not been out of his bed for eight months, throUgh his (Purdont'i) having beaten him. 0 - He also stated, that the' Gentleman who was a clerk, and who was near Whitechapel Church, and who afterwards died of his wounds.—he declared, that be was concerned in it, and was a long time out of the way during the disturbance, and while the hand-bills were out whereby his Majesty gave a free pardon, and a large reward for the apprehension of the murderer or murderers was offered. " I then requested him to allow me to put it (the confession) to paper, and asked him if he would sign (it)? he said, I No;' nor neither did he wish it to be mentioned -until it was all over (meaning his execution) ; but he then wished me to cunuuuni cate to then& whom it was proper. " I then asked him if he had anything else to communicate. He then asked Corbett what he bad done with the remainder of the 400 sovereigns which he had to his share, there being only three of them in the robbery? Purdom said, he ought to have been in it, but they put him in the hole (the watch-house). Cor bett said, he had only £l7B. 14s. left, and that he had made over to Mary (the woman with whom he had lived). He said the concern which they was here for (in Newgate), had cost him neatly £6O. Purdom then said, he (Corbett) noght to have been sent to - for patting him (Purdom) in the hole; but he thought they would both meet there together. " I then read different prayers to thew, when Roberts ad vised Purdom and Corbett to confess the whole to me, whereby they would then devote -the remaining part of their time to prayer. Purdom then said, there had been great exertions to find out the perpetrators of tilt murder of a woman, and that a Parish-officer had made etery exertion to find it out, but with out svccess. " fie thee clasped his hands, and•fell on bit knees, and hoped Goo would forgive him for having mingled his hands in the blood of so many. He then. went into prayeri and when they heard Mr. Barrett (one of the turnkeys) coming to unlock them at five in the morning, they all ;en on their knees, and thanked Gun that their tithe WA so neat at hand. They both (Purdunt and Corbett) then 'wished me not to mention it (meaning these confessions) until all Vip• over. (Signed) "To John Woutner, Lk. " RICHARD TAYLOR." The above, ma_y 'be depeaded upon as far as it goes, as conveying a true sketch of what this unhappy man uttered in the presence of the persons appointed to attend him during the night and morning previous, •to his being cut off from the number of the living. It is indeed awful to contemplate the short. but too successful career of guilt which he had run, for, at his death ,he was not more than 27 years of age, though for a long time be had been known to the Police as the most desperate thief in. London, and as one who, it was . supposed, would stick at nothing to prevent his falling into the hands of that justice which at lengtbsikfatally visitetil bis enormities. , * The watchman alluded to is the above.confession, was an old man, who had made himself obnoxioui to Purdoni and the rest. of hisgang, by watching their motions, and defeating their operations sometimes ; 1 and they •attacked their victim one night in a body, ' and beat him so dreadfully that his life was despaired of for a long time. - . .The Pentlensan mentioned at a cleelc, robbed and murdered in Whitechaiel, was. the lamented Mr. Nathaniel Wild, with , in' th e nienth of August, 1821, was knocked , down and robbed in Union-street,White chapel The blow fkactured his skull, and of that wound the unfortunate Gentlemandied,leiving a wife and several young children. The 4001. as part of the spoil is supposed to allude to a successful haul which the gang made of 1,200 sovereigns, while Pardon was confined in the watch house on some minor charge, and which confinement he attributed-to others of the gang, 1n order to keep bias ono:lbis share of so rich a 'sooty. The' murdered woman, about whom. the Parish Officer had made sticb unsuccessful exertions, there can be ao doubt was Mrs, Dorsauy, pad "the Parish Officer," Mr. Ts*, the Yestry Clark of*. Andrew's*, Holborn fnrPurdon .bad _before spoken about that shocking affitir to gle persons atteudiuy hint but al- ways •ery obscurely; . saying. 0 ! it old come out time enough when he was gone." We have thus laid before the. Public this document; with an explanation of its obscurer parts, and we h.►v e only to repeat that its kuthenticity may be most fully relied upon. _ DI ED.
