The plaintiff was a Lib •nrinst man, in the employ went of a plaisterrr in Great TitchfiAd-street, and ts:rs crossing Oxford sited, with a tub of size upon I:is shoulder, when the defendant's mail-eart, driven by a snail-coach guard, cairn: furiously along. by which plaintiff* was thrown clown and much hurt. When ivir. Milan was iiilinmed.of the accident, he, ;-.t first, was willing up make the plaintiff a compen sation. but fi.iding alter wards that the Surgeon's bill was very heavy, he declined it. The fact being d:: - incriy pored by two pavior_N. who were at work i f , the suet , 11,e Coiws l 1 , 1 the defendant axid he had t e n niaking an I lien to the other side. which was excepted, dintl dant %es tr. the amount of .tit) were assessed by c•lnsent.

NCI to his elven. lice, Ma.? Elder. The Cows was crowded, the in t:fest excited being very great, and the witnessr:. very humeious. The defendant Is about SO years of age, tia.d the child apparently amts. Mr. As..o stated the case for the prosecution, vehi,h was instituted by the parish of St. John, Hack rey. Against the evidence, he obterved, nothing could he *steamed, except the general assertion, that the t!e eituatit was a man of re/igloo propensities. The evidence of Mary E.l.ter was to the following effect s—alefore she was %owl(' to the defendant the treatment she expetienced from him seas unexcep ti.inabk; tut she found that the time was merely a tone of experiment. As *ion as he could exercise his anthurity ha abused it. He took pleasure in beat jog her with a cane, a shuttle, and a tremendous in stillment called a digit. with which he used to stake her °a the head and legs. The pretext for pin suing this brutal conJuct was the inability or disinclination of the chi:d to do the work assigned. to her. The et 'whirs to which she was thus subjected reduced her t state generally deemed irrecoverable. Her frame vi lff the less able to endure such punishment, as she hao 'woo many Jays without a bit of dinner, and w4,•ii..id to ask for MIT. Her persecutor's s , 'icemen sags, she could not endure to see such abrmainabie ttcatnient, but her eseustulations had no effect but that tit increasing the punishment. At length, when the child's appearance gave unequivocal evidence of her sufferings, infoiniation was given to the parish, and she was taken, by virtue of a warrant in the hands of the Oversees, to the Workhouse. 'rime and gie it care blita b hi her to a reseu.blance of what she bad once been. • _ _ Thomas vl,, who lives next door to defendant's., house, knew the child to have been inescellent health two years ago, when she was bound, and saw in 12 months a great alteration in her for the worse. He . and his fa.nily heard moaning and groaning from her almost every day in the last year, and frequently gave her bread, upon hearing her complain tnat she had li.ornotiririg to eat. Immediately before she bad been taken to the Woilthouse by the Overseeis there' was not a bit of flesh upon her. Her bones were bte .king through her skin, and she appeared a cum., Otte anatomy. . Mr. Langmore, a surgeon, examined the child on, the 3d of May atWorship.street. She WAS esceedongly emaci •ted,and her stomach refused all food for some days. This he ascrawd to stavation. *clime was a.i.o a dropsical appearance in her legs and !i'airJ, at. tributable to the same cause. Jpon her toes were ul ei zbilhf.ins, the consequence of the most cruel invest, and on one of her tegs was a large bruise, apparently isifhcted with a stick. toultices were ap. plied to her lett to prevent mortification. She could nut have rind another month under such severities. Mr. Ashby, the Overseer, deposed as to the health of the child when she was bound, and the extreme ss in which he found her at her master's house, from which lie took her upon a warrant. Mr. ikuoixtios, for the defendant, said lie had no. thing against eh t h e tviJeuce. The.case had Ines Orally made out, and much praise was due to the overseer of the paiish tor the alacrity with which be had interposed. It was a case upon which the clef. t.se of ityenuity would be silly and presumporuus, and woulu soiltitet the Counsel who used that loge.

J.? brought up from the Comovais by Mr. Daw n/94 Sir Jamas GRAHAM, Mild ethers, and read the first time. The Duke of OLOULI.S [ER pre:Anted a Petition frotn the University cf Cambridge, praying that the Tithes I.ra•inf; Bill (now before their Lordships) may not fie issued into a Law, which, being read, was laid upon the 'aloe. The commitment of Millar's Divorce Bid was, on the sugges tion of the Earl of LAUDERDALE, dttrtre:4l to that day Voter weeks, which is tantamount to a withdrawing or giOlz up the Bid for the pre,ent Ihe several Sinecure i'iace Abolition and Office Regulation Bills, were read the third time, and passed; and on the motion of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, the Compensation Bill w•aa ordered to be read a third time on 'I bursday. . . . 1 he Bills upon the table, generally, were forwarded in their respre , ire stages. Ihe Irish Woollen Yarn Bill was read the third time, and passed. 1 he County Rates Bill was brought up from the Commons by Sir 'Y. AV ex,, and oth.rs, and read the firai time. flat Irish Wulff: Bill was read the third time, and passed. CLERGY REJ/DIENCe BILL. The Archbishop of CAN FERbUIt Y, in rising to move the second reading of this Bill, observ,d, that in principle and detail, the measure was similar to Inc which he hsd ,u h mi t; d to the House last St/41011. On the principle, theri.fore, it would not he necessary to trouble weir t.ordships ; and a. to the piovisions of the Bill, they would best be discussed in a Committee. Ihe main object and it.tention oldie Bill was to consolidate into one the seleral Acts dispersed throughout the Statute Mick rela'ing to Spiri•ual Persons, to the Residence of the Beneficed Clergy, and to the duties and ratline ratinn of Curates. By this menus those different Acts would be brought under one and the panics affected would the better underitandavbat Was required of them. lbere was no doubt but their Lordships would so shape and temper the BtU in a Committee, as to render it fully adrqu.te to its purposes. Under these impressions, he %vivid now Content himself with moving the liecond Reaehng of the Bill ; which accordingly took place ;—and his Grate moved the Commitment of the Bill for Thursday, aid& was ordeseil accordingly. The fail of HARROWSY noticed, that he should have some Clauses to move in the Committee. APPOINTMENT OF Nisi' sinntyrs. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE next brought forward his motion on this subject, which was for the adoption of a Resolution on the part of their I.crd ships, which he immediately proceeded to read at length. and which constituted very nearly the whole of his Lordship's speech on the occasion.- The pro posed Resolution recommended, as just and politic, the immediate adoption of a different mode for the appointment of those Officers, in which all idea of patronage on the part of the Government should be given up, and the ti ness of the individual fur the, duties of the office only considered. It adverted to certain official steps which were taken on the subject,' as inadequate to the desired object; and referred certain proceedings, particularly in the Comity of Tipperary, which militated against the choice cr selection of a proper individual to fill the c.llice of High Sheriff. Tim importance of the effice in ques• um, particularly in a country circumstanced as Ire land, was dwelt on in the Resolution.; and it was recommended that a strict assimilation to the mode' of appointment long prevalent in this country, or, that the choice should proceed upon the solemn deci sion of the twelve Judges called together for the pur pose by the Keeper of the Great Seal, should be established in Ireland ; apd filially, that the Reich]- , tion so adopted, should be laid before his Royal 4fighness the Prince Regent. his Lordship then ' moved the adoption of the Ite%olutile. The Earl of LIVERPOOL obstreed, that the Resolution now proposed embraced a great variety of topics, very little connected with what was proles ! redly its main object ; in fact, referring to nearly all 1 1 the subjects which were matter. of discussion, in the course of - the Session, to tha laws. the polity, and the A:uncial system of Ireland. To the adoption of such a Resolution; it would not be supposed that he could agree; as under the present circumstances, he deemed it unfit for their Lordships' adoption. With respect to the relevant part of the motion, he ob served, that aftEr a full consideration of the subject, And due communication with Otose most conversant upon it, he had declared in that House, as a Right kionourable Friend of his didin another place, that it was the fixed determination of his Majesty's 'Go vernment to give up any power or patronage what. ever, which might be supposed tkarise from the loog• accustomed mode of appointing High Shcrifftini Ire land; and to assimilate the mode in knit, its aear - . . as possible, to the mode established in this part of the United Kinedom. Ilav:n&deieiilysl. the. diffe rent modes of appointment' in both toiantries, the Noble Earl ohserved th.tt the mode long prevalent in Ireland, instead of being advantageous to the Crown, WAS, in fact, biAly detrimental to it. The !rode" intended fir Ireland, as corresponding to the Fog lish, Ire thought would-be. .as pure.iur.d usicreepaion- I able as human regulation could mike it. No cons'. 'aeration whatever but the fitness of the individual for the office• in.iiiestion would influence the selection but after all, it sets obvious that a grcat steal depend upon the chntcter and conduct of the Indi vidual himself. Il'hat he had stated was what his Majesty's Government had omit rtaken to eiloluate! upon Cie subject, and every vssinle care i..1100M be; taken to ensure its ere ereeutitat. Tne Earl cf DONOUGHNIORE fear, that it the selection was to depend solely upon the Judges going the Circuits, little of teal good, in the way'of there appointments ; would he achieved. The quest i on was pllt, arid the Resohition nezaiived. _ _ ...... On the Motion of ihr Marquis of LANSDOWNE, a Message was ordered to he sent to the Commons, requesting a Copy of the Repot; of their S -lest Can mittee on the subject of the GrAnd jury Psesentments in belane- . . Their L4‘rdships thin resolved into a Committee (the Sec.md) 4 n tl , e Seviag.Banks' Dill. • Lord RLDCSDALE adverted to a variety of further amendments which he conceived it would he necessary to adopt, in order to render the measure duly effectual is to its nblects. • These, atter some convers.dion, in which the-Mar quis of LANsDOWi.:E, Ole Loeb CHANI4:I.I.OIt, and the Eat I of lt , :ssLyr; participated,. were agreed to by the Con JJJJ ittee ;—and it being suggested, that penis-mil:- regulations respecting the lodgment nt the -monies, as applicable to Ireland, and also to Scot; sod, would be necessary, it appealed to be the opinion of some of their Lordships, it would be. preter,eble.to effect these by means of separate.
