LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'; BENCH, DEC. 3, tBol. PERJURY ! -THE KING V. MILES. Mr. ALLEY having opened the pleadings, Mr. Serjeant BEST Rated, that thiS was an in didment for wilful and corrupt perjury, commit ted in an affidavit, filed by the defendant, in an fwer to an application to the Court of Common Pleas, to fct afid an award. An ac ion had been brought by a perfon of the name of Clarke againil a Mr. Bacon, for Rainier of a very grofs and icanda lons nature, to which the defendant had pleaded a jußification. The caufe was called on to be tried at Guildhall, before Lord AtvaN LEY, when it was agreed, that it fhould be referred to two Gentlemen, who, in cafe they could not agree in making their award, were to appoint a third.— The defendant in that adion, was extremely ansi• ous the mire fhould be tried, but was prevailed on by Miles, to content to a reference. It related to a tranfaflion of a very unpleafant nature, very un fit to be Rated in a Court of juilice. The arbitra tors were, Mr. Miles and a Mr. Timberell, who, as they could not agree, appointed a Mr. Sims, Umpire. It was cxprefsly underflood between the parties, that it was not the objed of the plaintiff to recover damages, yet the Umpire thought proper to award the fum of 3001. An application was made to the Court, to let afide this award ; and, in fupport of it, two perfons, of the names of Rowell and White, made affidavits ; in anfwer to which, Miles made the affidavit on which the per jury was affigned. Rowell (wore, that he was with the defendant (Miles) and Mr. Bacon, the defen dant in the anion, at the Mitre, in Mitre -court, Aldgate, and heard him fay, he had leen the plain tiff,who had told him, that in cafe the caufe went to arbitration, he did not defire that any money Should be awarded to him as damages; that he was prefent at Guildhall, on the day appointed for the trial, when a converfation took place be tween a Mr. Mann, on the part of the plaintiff, and the defendant, when the former Rated it was the with of the plaintiff the caufe fhould go to arbitra tion, and that the arbitrators fhould award (mall damages, upon which Miles laid, the coils were to be the only fubjed of their decifion. The affidavit of Mr. White ftated,that he was alto prefent at the Mitre, when the parties exprefred their deGre the caufe fhould not be tried, and obferved, that da mages were not expelled. In anfwer to thefe af fidavits, Miles, by his affidavit, denied that any converfation had taken place between him and the defendant, Bacon, in the pretence of Rowell knd White ; on the contrary, that White was not in the room, neither, to the bell cf his belief, was Rowell there. The Learned Serjeant laid, he did not expel to be able to convit the defendant on the latter part of his affidavit, but it was on the former palfage, in which he had taken upon him Pelf pofitively to Rate, that White was not in the room. If, therefore, he fhould prove that White was in the room, he fhould %aye made out all that was neceitary to cenvid the defendant of perjury. It might, perhaps, be laid, that this was miffalle 6n the part of the defendant, Mr. Miles lie however, the Jury would not come to ?if a conclulion, upon the bare affertion of his Cuunfel, but that they would require tome fad to be proved, on which they might tearotably pre fume it was a millake. the Clerk to the Affociate of the Common Pleas produced the record, in the caufc of Clarke and Bacon, and the order of reference, by which power was given to the two arbitrators to appoint a third in writing. Mr. ERSKINE laid, it was r:glit to inform the Court, that it was an action brought by Clarke, againll Bacon, for having charged him with an' attempt to commit an unnatural crime, to which a juilification had been pleaded.. Richard Sims laid he had,been appointed Umpire. The s:fendant's Counfei atkct (him, whether his appointment was in writing ? lie replied, that he had recsived a note from Mr. Timberell, in conic quence of which, be met Mr. Miles and Mr. Tim betel', %Ill° told him they had nut been able to ab ree. The witnefs was arked, if he had an appr•int ment in writing from both the arbitrators ? He raid, he had not. _ _ . . . The order of reference requiring that it liionld be in writing, the objedion was fatal, and the de. fendant was imenzdi.itely acquitted. DECI 6.-oxF•ittAm T. LFIINEI4.. The whole da; was occupied it: ti.e coa,liers r;on of thus cattle, which, howev.r. is net at all intetelling except to the posies. The adion was brought for a trefpafs, and the point to be decided was the right to a flip of ground about five feet broad, near TAtehliam-!beet. A Mr. Ilorlefall, the defendant's lace, had built a ral.,;c of houfes here, and the plaintiff contended :hit they en• certain premites v..10..11 l'he boundaries tit the two iElly the fame witli the bou::darirs of les of St. Pancras and 3t. Mary-la• iJcacc fit ite platoste, :Lea chiefly regarded the latter. Witneffes were called who had known the ground in the neighbourhood for near half a century, and who had been em ployed to perambulate the parithes. They all ~wore that the place in difpute was within the pa ,Oh of Pancras. and that HorlefalPs honles en croached between five and (e feet into the Goodge Mate. There was a pairage near Mr. Oxenham's ivorkthop, through which a cart could formerly be driven, and which the new buildings a.mon completely blocked up. The defendant's cafe was, firft, that at prefent rc great a fpace was kft to Mr. Ozenham as WAS defelibed in certain old leafes of there premiles.— Upon infpeaion of the leafes, this teemed pretty well ellablithed. In the fecond place an attempt was made to prove that the new houfes were com pletely within a line which had been hated by the plaiotitr witnefres to b: the boundary of the two ; but here the evidence did not come alp tc what had been opened. iallly, it was con tended that this difpute had been fettled in favour of the defendant fume years ago ; and, to be lure, a bricklayer, of the name of Egan,•fwore that he was prefent at fuch a tranfitaion ; but he teemed to have (pent the morning in an ale-houfe, and his evidence was dilbelieved. The Counfel for the plaintiff' did not think it worth while to reply. n r the Learned Judge to t:p the evidence. The jury, without Ifellta tion,lound a verdia for the plaintiff, damages 4cl. colt Cu that the boufes mutt all be immediately knoLkzd down.

UNION He Lt..—Ycllerday Arthur Bowers, Rolucre Bo:suert, and —Sprague, the three itinerant chim ney (weepers who are in cullody on fuipirion of bring concerned in the (hocking murder commit ted on the perfon of Samuel Matthews, the Dul wich Hermit, were brought before the Magiftrates at the above Office ; when Thomas Davy Rated, tl,at he is a watchman and ratifiable at Dulwich, and that on Tucfday morning, the 28th of De cember, after having gone his rounds between one and two o'clock in the morning, on his return to his watch box, he faw the prifoner Sprague, and the boy Robert Bowers together, who came up to his box, and entered into cotiverfation with him ; when Sprague told him they were to (weep Mr. Sadler's chimney at fix o'clock in theynorning, and begged a little Ilraw out of his box to fit. upon, which he gave them. Sprague then told him they had the day before come from Dorking, and had pitched their tent within too yards of the cave of old Matthews.—This introduaion of that fingular old man's name canted the fubjeet to be continued, when Sprague Paid he had the afternoon or even ing before been to fee old Matthews, as he lay in his but : and that when either of them (poke to him, the old man was very angry; laying,—" Go along; go along ; I have nothing to fell ; nothing to give ; I have nothing at all for you."—Sprague then remarked to Davy that Matthews was " a d—d rum old gill." After this a long converfation paired between them, until (lx o'clock in the morn ing, when Sprague and the boy went to the houfe of Mr. Sadler. The witnefs in the morning heard of the murder of Matthews, when the converfation he had the night before with Sprague occurred to his mind, and he was induced to fufpelt the pri toner had fome concern in it; particularly from the circumftance of his being out all night from his tent (where he might have laid until fix o'clock in the morning) after having walked from Dor king, according to his own confoffion, the day be fore. He, therefore, gave information of the caufe of his fufpirion,and had the prifoners apprehended. James Brown, a farmer's man in the neighbour hood, was going to fetch up his horfes, when he law Davy in converfation with Sprague and the boy. He flopped fame time at the watch box, and corroborated all Davy had Rated. To which be added, that Sprague Paid, when they went to his hut, the old man was very much frightened. The prifoner, Arthur Bowers, when called up on for his defence, Paid he was an American, and got his living, lince he had been in this country, by felling trifling articles, and jobbing about the country, whenever he could get employed; he cohabited with the daughter of - Sprague's wife, and Lillian) , lived in the fame tent with them. He cor roborated the fag of their having come from Dor. king the night before the murder of Matthews, at whofe hut, or cave, he denied ever to have been. He laid, that when permiffion could not be obtain. ed for them to fleep in any of the farmers barns or out-houfes, they uthally pitched their tents as near the houfes as the people would let them. On the Sunday they were encamped in a lane near the Half Moon, and on Monday morning (track their tents, and marched to Sydenham Common, where they had been tv-ice before. For the greater part of the day, (Monday) Bowers and his wife begged through Dulwich, and returned before dark to the tent, where they were all atfembled by four o'clock, when the boy, Bowers, was fent into the town to get fome tca and fugar, and not returning fo foon as they'expeeed, Sprague and his wife went out, as they laid, to find him. They returoed, after being aldent about half an hour, cooked their fill:). per, and were all laid down for the night by eight o'dock. He heard Sprague fay to the boy they were to (weep Mr. Sadler's chimney at fix o'clock in the ruo:ning; between one and two, however, Sprague go.. up and called the boy, laid it was very light, and they mull be off, or they lhould lute the job. Bowers remained in the tent, and did not fee them until eight o'clock the neat morning, a nJ at bre Mail remembered Sprague's laying they had gone oust a great deal too /coon, andhad flop ped at Davy'. watch box. _ _ It appears that when begging at Dulwich, he palled the houfe of Mr. Turk,the butcher, at whole Ihop the poor old man changed his half guinea the afternoon prec,:diug the aught lo which he was murdered. pert )n was not, however, in town yeßerday to afcertain the fall, whether there people were AbOlit the lhop at that time. They were warned to (pit their camp by tome Gentlemen in the neigh• bourhood, but in oonfequence of the information of Darr, acre taken int,' cnßnd Bowe's, on 7:17 minutely "maimed Irf/Le lllaaiQtatrs as to the fad of his cutting any flicks, conferred he Lail cut two, which, from deferiptities anfwer to the one with wile!: it is luppofed the murder was committer:. lie had cut and trimmed them with his bill honk, each having a hook at the end of it, upon wb:di thew hirag a kind of fkreen to keep the ind from blowing their' tire Amt. The Rick, however, which wa:: thewn to the Coroner was not produced, hut will he on their next examination, for which they are committed. GlYll.llHALL.—Yclierd‘ty a young man was tom mined fur tiial, for picking the pocket of a Gen tleman in Chcaplide, of hi, handkerchief. A woman of the name Of Eyre, charged her !lath:4nd with airatilting her. It appeared that the parties had been feparated by mutual content, and that the hinband had come to lee lodging;, and taken away a child which they were both the pa rents of. The hatband alledged, that the woman was bringing the child up in a moll dreadful way, teaching it to fwear and drink tfrong liquors, and when he went into the room, he found the mother furrounded by feveral common proaitutes and men. The Magiftratc commendedthe man for hisparental affeetioo, and defired that he might take the child to his lifter's, which it appeared was the man's who faid it would be well taken care of.— They were then difmilred, with a caution not to interrupt each other for the future. MaNsiov-I-Lousz.—Sarah RoGinfon was again brought before the LORD MAYOR, on the charge of having fwindled Mr. Wright, a butcher, in Leadenhall-Market, out of a guinea, which the pretended the had given in payment fur a leg of mutton. Several other tradetmen, it appears, have been tricked by the fame perfon ; but their loires being trifling, none but Mr. Wright, and a perfon of the name of Edwards, perlevered in lubflantiating their charges againa her. ' Mr. Wright laid. that having yielded to the young woman's dory, of having given to his daughter the guinTa in qualion to change, under imprellion, that, in the hurry of butimets, the might have received it, and forgot, he was (till fo far fufpicious of an intentional fraud, that he cart up the whole accounts of the day, in order to af certain the fad, when he was thoroaghly convinced that he had been Dwindled out of the guinea, and thought it right to apprife all his neighbours of the eircumflance, in order that. fhould the attempt to impofe on any of them, at any time, they might not only be on their guard. but have her immedi-. ' ately apprehended. No great length of time ' elapfed, before he was fent for by a poulterer, within a few doors of him, to fee a woman who had come to his &op to purchafe a gonle, who, after waiting fome time for its being plucked, re. queried change for a guinea, which the observed (he had given him fame minutes. The poulterer, L at &11, endeavoured to convince his cullomer of the miaake, till, recolleding the notice he had re ceived from Mr. Wright, he tut - peeled it mull he the Caine woman he had complained of, and im mediately fent for him and his daughter. Mifs Wright inaantly recognized her to be the perfon who had been at her father's atop a few days be , fore • but the female (harper being tared with the fact, (googly denied it, and gave her place of ad drefs, which proved a falfe one. She was taken into cuitody, at the inaigation of Mr. Wright, when (he told an artful tale refpeding her brother having left town that day for Norwich, arid that prior to his Petting off, he had provided a place in the coach for her to follow him. The conaable accompanied her to the Inn from which the coach was laid to Pet off, but nothing like the truth ap peared. She teemed to be miarefs of every county dialed. and altered her fpeech as carcumaances required. . _ . 'After her examination clofed on this charge, Edwards, who keeps a mangle in Holford•court, Fenchurch-llreet, depofed, that on the fame day that this woman had defrauded Mr. Wright, the came to his houfe, no perfon being at home except an old man, who knew little about the hufineis, and requetled to have two gowns which the had left there a fell days before. The man obferved the proper perfon was not at home to deliver them, l aud delired her to call again; the then urged the necellity of having them direftly, adding, at the lame time, that the could point out the gowns,. which the man imprudently fuffered her to do.— Ilcaring, however, that a perfon of the defcrip tion of the prifoner had been taken into cuflody, having at the fame time in•her poireffion a bundle with two gowns, he had attended that morning, and found - that the articles in %tie Won were the fame he had been defrauded of. Mrs. Jefferfon, of Fenchurch•llreet, attended, and laid that one of the gowns belonged to her, which the had given into the care of Edward Ruf fen. A porter's wife alfo claimed the other. The charge being thus bro►►ght home to the prifoner, (he thought of a tiratagem to prevent the ends of juftice. It happened that a poor woman with her little girl was prefent in the Court, who bad been brought there on fume trivial affair. when the prifoner Robinfon, fuppofing t•► avail hcrfelf of the other's tainted charafler, charged her with being the caufe of all her crimes, and Itoutly alledged they had been acquaints(' for a length of time : the moreover laid, that the little girl had been fent to her at the Poultry Cottrozcr the day befor:, to confer with her on the prelant buCneii. Such an uncommon turn of affairs furprifed the whole Court, and the Lord Mayor took great pains to invelligate the matter. On crofs•exami. nation of the prifuner, it clearly appeared that the whole Rory was a fabrication, and that Ilse had never feen the woman and the girl befote that morning. The turnkey proved that no perfon whatever had had admit ou to her tince her ctm finemeot, and no fuch pert . = as the little girl ever made application. Seeing herfelf defeated at all points, the next attempted to excite the compaZon of the Lord Mayor, and prayed to be pallid to her friends in the country. His Lordfbip told Ler. that to fend her into the innocent part of fociety in the country. with all her deptacity about her, lie might as well fend the plague a:n(l4ga them ; and that £be could eapeet no other clectLon than to take the cootie of jultice. vials accordingly fully committed far trial.
