Mr. Serjeant PELL said, that the plaintiff in this case was Nathaniel Garland, Esq. and the defendants, Joseph Jekyll and Thomas Cunningham, Esqrs. trus tees under the will of the late Sir Charles Bunbury, Bart. The action was brought by the plaintiff, as Lord of the Manor of Park Ilall, Essex, to recover a considerable sum of money, the produce of horses sold at-TattersaU's, the property of the late Sir Chas. Danbury, in right of his Lordship, as heriots for a copyhold estate, in which Sir Charles had a life into. rest. The copy hold estate held by the late Sir Chas. Bunbury was a very small one, and had in conse quence of the form of transmission, once adopted be tween one sister and another, been made divisible into fourteen separate parts, and the real question was, whether the Lord cf the Manor did not thereby, up wt the death of the holder's life-interest, become entitled, not to one heriot, according to the original form of the copyhold, but to fourteen, in consequence of its foul teen subsequent divisibilities? Sir Charles Bun bury, it was well known, was a Gentleman who kept up a very large and valuable stud of horses. At the time of his death he had 22 valuable horses at his grazing farm of Barton, in Suffolk ; and he had be sides a most valuable race-horse, called Smolensko, who was in the care of a Gentleman in the north of England. Smolensko, with thirteen other horses, were sold at Tattersall's after the death of Sir Charles. The racer brought 1300 guineas, and an action was brought by the Lord of the Manor to recover the produce of that sale, in virtue of his right to the 14. heriots. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, czclnding the value of Smolensko ; and his present application was fur a new trial, on the ground that the exclusion of that horse from the amount, was against the evidence upon which alone the Jury were bound to decide. In making this application, he was perfectly aware that the Court would, from the na ture of the claim, extend to him no relief unless the demand was clearly imperative in law, and such as no private consideration could evade. The special case now before the Court was, whether or not Smolensko ought, according to the evidence, to have been in cluded for the plaintiff as one of the fourteen horses to which he was entitled as heriot? He knew that it was extremely hard upon a Gentleman who, in igno rance of law, became possessed of a small copyhold property not worth more than £2OO or £3OO, to be subject, in a claim of heriot, to a demand, exceeding by many hundreds of pounds the whole value of the titioybold in virtue of which the heriot was made.— That to consider the nature of the case. The .rury found a special verdict in these words:—" A verdict for the plaintiff for the produce of as many heriots its the Court thought he was entitled to, from the farm of Barton, in Suffolk, because Herries, when he went to look, said he had seen enough there:— This Herries was the messenger sent by the Lord of the Manor, after the death of Sir Charles Bunbury, to inquire into his stud. When he went he saw the head groom, who gave him an account of the horses, and he reduced this account to writing in a list, at the head of which was Smolensko, whom the groom told him was then (and had been for two months be fore Sir Charles's death) in the care of Dr. Clarke, at Itenybridge, in Yorkshire. Herries was then shewn t other horses at Barton; and after this, he said "lie had seen enough," words which, it was clear, induced the decision of the Jury, but entirely owing to a misapplication of their intended meaning by the messenger. It was important for the Court to bear in mind, that the messenger merely went over to in quire respecting the horses, with the view of ascer taining the nature of the property on which the he riot was to fall, and not at the time for the purpose of making any particular claim; and the Lord Chief Justice left it for the Jury to say whether, according to that evidence, it was intended the iord of the Manor should make his claim for heriots upon four teen out of the twenty-two horses at Barton, or to in clude in his claim Smolensko, which was then away; and the Jury found, as he (the Learned Serjeant) had mentioned, upon their understanding of the words of the messenger, who, after seeing the twenty-two horses at Marton, said he had seen enough. He thought it quite clear, that the Jury were in this case actuated by a sense of the amount of the value of Smolensko, and had decided, in consequence of the sum, in a manner in which they would not have done in the case of any other species of right. Mr. Justice PARKS inquired for what purpose did it appear on the trial that Herries went to the farm? Mr. Justice RienARDSON. 44 Did he go to make a particular claim of heriot, and did he fix upon any, specific 14 horses?* • Mr. Serjeant Nu. replied in the negative, and said that be merely went, watcertain what horses were there, preparatory to making the claim of • heriot, and he put down the name of Smolensko at the head of his list. Ile was, as it were, the fore horse of the team, and the Jory had manifestly acted under a m i s t a ie, when they supposed he had foregone his claim goon that saluable horse. Mr. JastteolikßßOUGH expressed a strong opinion against granting the Rule. The LODD CID rir Aimee remarked, that the only question now was, whether there was sufficient ap parent reason to suppose a misfinding of the Jury, to open a reconsideration of the case ? The point was not whether the demount was odious, but if it was attainable at law ? . The Court, after consultjag for a short time, granted Mr. Selma Pell a Rule*, thew cause.

This morning, at the sitting of the Court, the Al derman whose duty it was to be in attendance, and whose presence was necessary to constitute a Court, not being present, some delay took place. At length Mr. ARABIN who sat for the Recommit, sent to Sir. Alderman ViAITHMANI to request he would attend. 'The worthy Alderman, although confined by indis position to his bed, immediately rose, and soon after wards made his appearance on the Bench. Mr. ARAnIN apologised to the Jury for the time which had been lost ; and having explained the cause, ex pressed his acknowledgments to • Mr. Alderman WAITIIM .11, for the promptness with which he at tended to his summons. • Thomas Clement was charged with stealing a watch in the dwelling-house of Prince Esterhazy. It appeared that on the day charged in the indict ment, one of the domestics of Prince Esterhazy saw the prisoner quit his master's hobse in a manner which excited his suspicions; he followed and' brought him back, and on searching his pocket found a handkerchief of his own. An Officer was then sent for, and, on further search a watch was found in his 'on, which proved to be the pro perty of an rof the servants. Guilty of stealing to the value of thirty-nine shillings. Ann Turner was indicted for stealing 41bs. of soap and one shilling, the property of Charles Greville, Esq. in his dwelling-house. G. Smith, butler to Mr. Greville, stated, that the prisoner lived as a laundry maid in the family. His master was in the habit of leaving his money in a drawer in the library, and silver was repeatedly missed. The prisoner, as well as the other servants, of whom there were fourteen, had access to that room. Suspicion did not attach to any particular person, and it was resolved to mark some change, in the hope that detection might take place. Witness accordingly marked several shillings on the 16th of March, and placed them in the drawer, as usual, and again on the 21st marked ten other shillings. Of the sum thus marked he afterwards missed six shillings. Upon this he called all the servants separately and paid them their board-wages. From some he re ceived change in silver, and among others 2s. from the prisoner, which pr oved to be two of those he had previously marked—one was his master\ and the other his own. He sent for Plank the officer some days afterwards, and the prisoner was interrogated as to the manner these shillings came into her pos session. She said she had received them in change for a sovereign from Mr. Stanley, a grocer, in West minster. On searching her box, 41bs. of soap, the property of Mr. Greville, was found. In cross-examination, witness said all the servants received board wages, and were in the habit of spend ing their money in the neighbourhood. He had no reason to suspect the prisoner till she produced the shilling herself; be believed her previously to have a good character. Plank, the officer, confirmed the testimony of Smith as to the declaration of the prisoner. Mrs. Smith, the wife of the butler, was then called on behalf of the prisoner, and gave her an excel lent character. Air. Stanley, a grocer, in York-street, Westmin ster, proved that he had changed a sovereign for the prisoner on the 23d of March, and he knew her for some time, and believed her to be a woman cf good character. Serjeaat Fairclough, of the Guards, knew the pri soner for some years ; she was the wife of a corporal in the regiment. He knew her to be an honest, sober, industrious woman. Mr. ARNIM in summin g . up the evidence, re marked, that the prosecutor tn this case, Mr. Gre vine, was a man of considerable fortune, and yet the case had been brought there without Cornisel, or any of those aids by which the Court might have been assisted in its inquiry. They must dispose of the charge as their judgment could guide them ; and, in the first instance, they must be satisfied that the pri soner was the person by whom the shilling in question, for they must confine themselves to the shilling stated to have been Mr. Greville's, had been taken. They all knew that servants were in the habit of borrow ing from one another, and it was not improbable that this shilling might have got into the possession of the prisoner by other means than by theft. It ap peared, that all the servants of the prosecutor had access to the library; but none of those servants had been called to purge themselves from suspicion. If any doubt arose in the breasts of the Jury, the pri soner was entitled to the benefit of that doubt, and the mete especially with the excellent character she' had received. The Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty, and she was immediately discharged. Mr. ADOLPHUS, who was Counsel for the prisoner, stated, that it was true the soap, mentioned in the indictment, had been found in the prisoner's box, and she acknowledged she bad put it there, under the mistaken notion, that because she did business with less than bad been allowed her, she was entitled to take the surplus as her perquisite. Such practices were extremely improper, and ought to be repressed. The following were convicted of felony Mary Young, aged 10, for stealing a piece of lawn ; Martin Sullivan, aged 00, for stealing two cart bridles; Isaac Squinee, aged 90, fee stealing a great coat ; George Pryor, aged 19, for stealing two pewter pots; Henry Porter, aged 20, for stealing a pair of boots; William Brown, aged 16, for embezzling ael• 1 ls.

Alicia Shelton, daughter of John Shelton, deposed that a large party surronnded her father's house about two or three o'clock in the morning of the 9th of February. The family were all in bed. The door was broken in, and a great number of persons came into the kitchen. Witness got up and went to the kitchen, where she saw a gtvat number of persons. The night was very light. - Witness asked them what they wanted? They called aloud for her brother Charles to go with them to Castletown-Conyers, for a basket of ammunition, which they said was carried there the day before. Witness said there was no such thing carried there, and it was quite useless for them to attempt going to Castletown, for that, cer tainly, if they did, every man of them would be shot. Witness's brother was up stairs at the time, and two or three of the party went up and seized him. He asked them to allow him to dress himself. lle went up stairs again, and was much terrified. Witness then called out for the 'Captain ; none answered. Witness then went to the back yard, and saw a man standing near the back-door; she conjectured that be was the Captain. Had sufficient light to distinguish his dress. He had a long gun in his hand. Witness said to him, "1 know you are the Captain, and wont' you save my brother?" He made no reply, and stood still. Witness fell on her knees, and took hold of his coat, and said she would never leave him until he released her brother, and not let him be taken out of the house to be murdered. He still made no re ply. Witness then asked him what it was he wanted? He said, to take her brother to Castletown. Witness offered to go herself, but to leave her brother, as she knew he was out of his senses for half an hour before. The man then said, " No, Lady, you shall not go; and your brother shall be left . ' Her brother was only seventeen or eighteen years old. The man then went a few steps inside the kitchen door, and said to them inside, " Leave him to the Lady." They then let her brother go for an instant. Shortly after, two or three came forward and seized him again. • Wit ness then calleJ out, " Honour, honour, Captain! wont you leave me my brother?" lie was still standing outside, but made no answer; and witness asked him, had he no controul over his men, to make them comply? They murmured and debated for some time, and then let hind go. They called for spirits, and witness gave them some. (Witness was desired to turn round, and try whether she could see the person in Court of whom she had been speaking.) She did so; and pointing to the prisoner at the bar, said emphatically, " That is the man—l am positive -of him; and I shall never forget his honourable and merciful conduct towards my brother on that night." The manner in which Mist Shelton gave her evi dence attracted the admiration of the entire Court. She was firm, at the same time delicately modest; her answers and mode of del.;very bespoke the per fectly well•educated female; and her appearance was elegant and fascinating. Susannah Shelton, sister to the last witness, swore that the prisoner was one of the party that attacked her father's house.—On the part of the defence, John Cummins, and Mary Fitzgibbon, sister-in law to the prisoner, positively swore, that at thetime of the attack at Mr. Shelton's, Cussen was in bed at Mrs. Fitzgibbon's house at foolish, four or five miles from Mr. Shelton's. Timothy Leonard sworn.—is servant to Mr. Shel ton; was in the kitchen at the hour of the attack ; saw the Ladies there; saw the man with the cap at the door; on his oath, the prisoner at the bar is not that man ; he was not so'tall a man as the prisoner. • The Jury retired for about five minutes, and then returned with a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner, who was a young man of very gen teel appearance, bowed most respectfully to the Court. He was then asked, in the usual way, by the Clerk of the Crown, if he had anything to say why sentence and execution of the law should not be had and pro nounced upon him? He bowed, and said—" lam quite ready to hear it." His Lordship, in passing, sentence of death upon the prisoner, concluded with the following words: " If the Government under which we live should think itself warranted to extend mercy to you. I trust it will not be for gotten, and that to the latest moment of your life it shall make such an impression u not to be lightly thought of. I cannot, however, make you any promise. I must now pronounce the awful sentence of the law." The prisoner, with quite a- placid countenance, said—" It is welcome, my Lord. " The usual sentence was then pronounced, which was listened to by the prisoner with the greatest com posure of mind, but no day was fixed. After which, the prisoner asked if he might be permitted to say a few words?—" Certainly," said his Lordship. Prisoner.—" I would not speak during my trial, nor after my conviction was pronounced, lest it might be considered that I wanted a mitigation of sentence; but now, my Lord, as sen tence of death has been passed upon me, and that I consider myself as a dying man, I do most solemnly declare, and may my soul and body be b uried to the depth of bell if ever I was nearer to Mr. Shelton's house than the three places which I shall mention, and there are many persons in Court who know the plates I 4'lll name--Inchbogg, Mr. Conyer's house, and the road leading to Kilmeedy, north of the house. I say again, may I be tumbled into the lowest pit of hell if ever I saw .Jr. Shel ton's house, except the roof of it, at the distance I have nien timed. I am not afraid to die. Tbe • Miss Sheltons might have mistaken me. I forgive them, and all who had a hand in my blood—may Axxseurr Coo forgive them ! My Lord, I have one request to make—that my body, when I am dead, shall be given to my friends, that I may be buried with my father." The Court said it would stake no order to the contrary. Prisoner.—" I have further to declare, that a gun, sword, or pistol I never took from a gentleman's house. was never at the attack of a gentleman's house, our ever knew of au attack upon any gentleman's house." This protestation was listened to by a crowded Court, with emotions of surprise and astonishment. ' Alter the prisoner's removal, Mr. Gossett, of the Rifle Brigade, on the part of Miss Shelton, applied 'to the Court to recommend him to meiOr. Mr. Gossett stated, that it was principally by his persua sions that the prisoner had been brought to trial and conviction ; that Miss Shelton felt so much at the sentence, that she never could be happy if it was exe cuted, and prayed that it might he commuted. Baron PSNEVATHZII said that lie would feel most happy to receive a memorial from her, and would forward it to Government.—This has since been done. ux7iTnury ATELuar:Ncr.
