The characters were cast as follows : Sir Omnium Traffic, a rich Speculator, Mr. Wita.taras Sir Robert, a Nabob - - - Mr. Yoescaa Herman, a Hamburg!' Merchant - Mr. liaaca Sr nsitive, a Village Schoolmaster - Mr. &was Tramplay, a Literary Adventurer - Mr. Tamar Voluble, an Attorney - . Mr. (hammy Criroutte, a French Valet - Mr. DC CAM! Dogrose, Sir Omnium's Garrlener - Mr. TarLacres Plau,ible,_a Man of the World - Mr. Lacs Miss Traffic, Niece to Sir Omnium - Mrs. TAIMEURIC MISS Plausible - Miss Bores Rose, the Gardener's Daughter, beloved by Sensitive - - MU. CHATTICILLILY. Mrs. Barbel, Landlady of the Globe Mrs. Parses Chambermaid The incidents of the Piece are briefly as follows : Sir annum: Trelffic, a rich speculator, has, at the opening of the Piece, recently arrived with his niece Miss Tree, at his splendid villa, displaying in their progress and establishment, the extreme of modern magnificence and extravagance. On their arrival they are addressed by their head gardener Dogrose, and his daughter Rose, and solicited to patronize the marriage of the latter with Sensitive, a worthy and well educated young man, but in reduced circum stances, owing to the misfortune of a deceased parent. The Baronet and his niece object to a marriage not originally arranged under their sanction ; and treat their dependants with extreme hauteur. At this in stant they receive an electrical shock, by the news that the agent of Sir Ontnium, in whose hands, and at whose disposal, he had not only placed his own pro perty but the fortune of his niece, had absconded. lty this circumstance he is reduced to poverty, and to the absolute necessity of selling his estate; whilst. on the other hand, the unassuming village school master, Sensitive, becomes unexpectedly possessed of immense property by the death of Si ;Robert, who, having been originally a servant to Sensitive's father, *ad by his aid and assistance fitted out for India in early life, where be accumulates a fortune, he, in gratitude, wills his property to his old master's son. Sensitive becomes the purchaser of the Baronet's splendid mansion, and thus originates the title of the l'iece, Rise and Fall. In spite of every temptation thrown in his way by Miss Tree and Miss Plausi ble, Sensitive continues faithful to the humble Rose, whom he k letermines, to marry ; and at the same time he promises to assist his friend Tramplay, a literary wanderer in the service of the periodical press, with a loan of money, when a clause is discovered in the will of his benefactor Sir Robert, which restricts him from marrying for three years, or lending any sum of money exceeding £3, on pain of forfeiting the pro petty. Whilst perplexed by these unexpected draw backs on his happiness, it is discovered that Sir Ro bert is still living, having escaped a shipwreck in which he was suppoied to have perished. The treacheryof Sir Osmium's agent also turns out to be a fabrication, intended to cure him of his dangerous and ruinous passion for speculation. The Baronet, therefore, resumeshis estate, while Sensitive imagines himself again reduced from £15,000 a-year and a splendid establishment to the superintendence of his little school. At this period, however, Sir Robert is introduced in his proper person, and makes an ample provision for his adopted heir, who is united to his dear Rose, and all parties are rendered happy. Of these materials the Comedy is constructed: re port, and we believe in this instance she is correct, names Mr. T. DIUDIN as its author; and we feel much pleasure in adding, that of the many success ful Pieces which have sprung from the lively and prolific pen of this long-established favourite of the Public, none have been more completely so than this last production. The dialogue is easy, pointed, and full of vivacity. It is wholly free from affectation, or those forced attempts at wit, frequently wholly unsuited to the characters made to utter them, or the situations in which those characters are placed. The sentiments in Rise and Fall flow naturally, and ate appropriate: the most convincing proof of this fact was, the impression which they made on the audi ence, expressed by the repeated applause which they called forth. Entire originality of character it would, at thi, period of the day, be extravagant to expect or require ; but it is some time since we have seen a Piece possessing so great a cfairn to approbation, even in this respect, as that of which we are now speaking ; and where the characters are not wholly original, they are drawn with such discrimination, and so well preserved, as to render them most ef fective. The character of Sensitive, in particular, is a most successful effort; it displays a happy mixture of refined turn of mind, with habits formed in humble life. Mr. JONES, who resumed his professional avo cations in the Haymarket Corps on this occasion, did ample justice to the character; the Piece received the most essential aid from his efforts. The charac ter of Rose is also one pleasingly drawn, and it was most efficiently supported by Mrs. CIIATTERLEY. Volubk, an honest and eccentric lawyer, introduced early in the Piece, excited a feeling prophetic of the ultimate success it met with. Oxfsznity hit off the character in a manner most satisfactory to the audi ence, and, we have no doubt, most pleasantly to him self and the author. Of the rich speculator, Mr. DIBDIN has not made much ; but every feature in the picture cannot be equally prominent; the great object to be attained is, to observe correctly the pro portions of light and shade, and thus preserve the keeping of the whole production. What we see of Sir Omnium is good, and his representative, Mr. WILLIAMS, supported him very respectably. The excellent acting of TERRY made us desirous of seeing mere of Tramplay. This character is the least effec tive of the Piece; the reason is, that Tramplay is thrown into a situation where he can have no real business, and therefore he does not harmonize with the other figures on the canvass. De CAMeS French Valet was good, and loudly applauded. He intro duced a song in the third act, burlesquing the early attempts of a young singer, in the act of " Solfeggio," which was well sung; it possesses considerable merit as a production of this description, and was encored. TAYLEURE gave a good picture of rustic manners in Dogrose. Mrs. 'larcener, Miss BOYCE, and the other performers, exerted themselves successfully in their respective -characters. In point of decoration, the Piece is extremely well got up. On the falling of the curtain, Mr. JONES canie forward, and, amidst general applause, announced the Play for repetition. HOME CIRCUIT. HERTFORD, AUGUST 2. The Home Circuit commented here to-day, before the Hon. Mr. Baron Woon on the Nisi Prins Side, and the Hon. Mr. Justice BURROUGH on the Crown Side. The business on the latter side is less than the average quantity, there being only about fifteen cases in the Calendar, very few of which are capital offences. In the most heinous case, namely, a commitment for rape, the Grand Jury threw out the bill of indictment. On the Civil Side the business is about the usual qnan , city. Sixteen causes are entered, two of which are Special Juries. In the three cases of actions of debt, on the Statute of 2 Geo. 11. for bribery at the last Election for this Borough, the records were with drawn. None of the, cases on the Crown Side to-day were of public interest. CIVIL. SIDE. SEDUCTION.—DUNHAM V. BATCHELOR. This was an action against the defendant, for se ducing the daughter of the plaintiff, whereby he lost her services. Mr. BRODRICK stated the plaintiff's case with con siderable ability. It appeared from the evidence of the daughter of the plaintiff, a young woman of pre possessing appearance, but whose demeanour under examination was perfectly degagee, that her father was a bricklayer, in respectable circumstances, re siding at Wheathampstead, in this County. She was about twenty-three years of age. About three years I since, the defendant, a young man of the same age, by business a journeyman baker, in the same village, paid honourable addresses to her, but to whom she had surrendered her chastity, and in the month of April last she was delivered of a shild. Her father had paid the surgeon's bill, and had since maintained the child. She had three brothers and two sisters; the youngest of the latter was eighteen years of age. On her cross-examination, she admitted that her eldest sister had had three children by a man to whom she was not married, and all of them were born under her father's roof. She also admitted that the de fendant boarded in his master's house, and received ten shillings per week wages. Previous to the birth of the child, the defendant offered to pay £3 for the expenses of the lying-in, and 2s. 6d. a-week for the maintenance of the child. The plaintiff agreed to these terms, but required the defendant to procure the security of his father. To this the latter consented, and appointed a day to meet the plaintiff, but the de fendant never came pursuant to his appointment. Mr. MARRYATT, in his address to the Jury, urged the topics which obviously presented themselves from the circumstances proved by the young woman, who WAS the only witness to prove the case. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages £lO. DOE, ON TILE DEMISE OF PAXTON AND ANOTHER, VellflS DEACON. This was an action of ejectment, to recover the pos session of an estate, situated at Ric kmansworth, alleged to be held over by the defendant after notice to quit. The estate in question was described to be Wigham Hall, which had been mortgaged by the defendant to Messrs. Henry Paxton and John Cressey Hall, the lessors of the plaintiff, for about 1:10,800, alleged to consist of old incumbrances, money lent from time to time, &c. The mortgage-deed was dated on the 29th of September, 1819, but was not actually executed until the 11 aof December in that year. It was al leged, that afterwards this estate had been let to the defendant, now a prisoner in the Fleet, for one year, but that he had paid. no rent, and had held over, after notice to quit. The defence set up was, that the money for which the mortgage-deed had been executed was not paid at the time of - its execution, and consequently that an ejectment would not lie. Mr. Baron WOOD was of opinion, that this was no defence at law; and, under his Lordship's direc tions, the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages Is. costs 40s, CROWN SIDE. Thomas Johnson was indicted upon a charge of ut tering false and counterfeit coin. The indictment contained two counts—one for uttering the counter feit coin, having more of the same in his possession; and the other for the simple uttering. The prisoner having pleaded Guilty under the second count, no evidence was offered in support of the first, and he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. Thomas Clarke Whiffen was indicted for stealing several pieces of leather, and other articles, the pro. perty of his master, James Sheppy, a shoemaker, at Hitchin on the 13th of July last. It appeared in evi dence, that on being apprehended on suspicion of the robbery, the prisoner stated, that a parcel directed by himself, to himself, would be found at the Coach office, in Bedford, containing the missing articles; that the parcel so described by him was there found, and did contain the articles in question. In addition to this, a written confession, made by the prisoner be fore a Magistrate, was put in and read, which put the case beyond all doubt ; and the Jury, under the Learned Judge's direction, instantly found the pri soner Guilty, and he was sentenced to seven years' transportation. Edward Mailer, a lad of sixteen, fellow-servant to the above-named prisoner, Whiffen, was convicted of a similar charge, under nearly the same circumstances. Several witnesses appeased to his character, and his master, with an appearance of much anxiety for his welfare, gave him also an excellent character. The Learned Judge, in a very impressive address, ex pressed his hopes of the prisoner's reformation, and, sentenced him to six months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. John Rang and James Belcher were indicted for horse-stealing. It was shewn in evidence, that the horse in question, belonging to a Mr. Anstie, residing in the neighbourhood of St. Alban's, was stolen from his rick-yard in the night of the 15th of March last ; that on the I6th, the prisoners were seen driving the horse in a cart, at nine in the morning, about seven teen miles from the prosecutor's house, going towards London, in which was found a sack, containing a large quantity of fowls, of very suspicious appearance. — The pi isoners were apprehended by a passenger on the road, in consequence of their equivocal appear ance, and the horse was immediately afterwards owned by the prosecutor. The prisoners offered no substan tial defence, and the Jury, after a minute detail of the -evidence by the Learned Judge, found the pri soners Guilty, and sentence of death was passed upon them, accompanied by an intimation from the Learned Judge, that although the law would not be enforced to the utmost extremity, they would certainly be sent out of this country for the remainder of their lives. AUGUST 3. MORRIS V. OAUSSRN, CLERK. This was an action against the ltev. Armitage Gaussen, Rector of the parish of Meesden, near Bunt ingford, a Magistrate ofahe county, for causing the plaintiff, a respectable farmer at Aastey, to be ap prehended without any reasonable or probable cause, and conveyed in iron manacles and handcuffs to the defendant's house, and for unlawfully imprisoning him for the space of four hours. The defendant pleaded the general issue—Not Guilty. This case excited a very general interest Mr. MARRYATT stated the plaintiff's case as one 'of great hardship and oppression. On the Bth of May last, the plaintiff and some of his friends, re spectable and wealthy farmers, had been amusing themselves in shooting young rooks at his farm. It was agreed that the next day they should meet at' the. Bell public-house, in the village o! Anstey, to' divide the fruits of their sport. They were . perfectly orderly in their conduct, and were quite sober. — About three o'clock in the afternoon the defendant came to the public-house, and ordered the landlord not to draw any more beer. This was a matter about which the plaintiff was perfectly indifferent. The defendant then sent for a Constable, and charged the plaintiff in custody, and ordered handcuffs to be put upon him. The. Constable not being very expert at the busine , s, the defendant took the handcuffs and put them on the plaintiff himself; and, being fastened to a person named Wheeler, was, in that state, dragged to the defendant's Rectory, at Meesden, about two miles distant. At this time the plaintiff was utterly ignorant of the offence for which he was so treated. He was, however, sent to the Rectory, and there confined until the defendant's arrival, about two hours afterwards. The defendant had taken the key of the handcuffs with him, and in the meantime went about the neighbourhood boasting that he had got the plaintiff in handcuffs. In this ignominious state the plaintiff was kept an hour at the defendant's house, before he could be freed. His wrists being swollen with pain, arising from the handcuffs being too small, he asked for a little oil at the ltectory, but the servants refused to let him have any, saying, that it was as much as their places were worth to comply. When the defendant arrived he ordered the handcuffs to be taken off; and then, without any inquiry, or information on oath, he ordered the plaintiff to pay a fine of 3s. and to find two sureties I to be of good behaviour; and in default thereof, threatened to send him to the county jail. The plain tiff, conscious of his innocence, indignantly refused to pay the money or find the securities, until he knew what offence he had committed. The defendant, however, declined informing him with what he was charged, and at length, after four hours confinement, and after consulting the Constable (who seemed to be a better lawyer than the Magistrate himself) what he ought to do, he consented to discharge the plain tiff. This was a mere outline of the case. The plaintiff was even yet ignorant of the supposed offence for which he had been so unjustly and tyrannically treated. The Learned Counsel supposed it would be said that the plaintiff had been tippling ; but even admitting he bad, what law could justify such an iniquitous abuse of magisterial authority ? But the fact was not so ; the plaintiff was perfectly sober.— He had been taken up without a warrant—con demned without a hearing, and ignominiously punished for no crime. Under such circumstances, it was for the Jury to say what damages a respectable farmer so treated was entitled to receive at the hands even of a special Jury, composed of some of the Ma gistracy of the county. In the outset of the case he should not apply those epithets to the defendant's' conduct which the circumstances of the case would seem to warrant ; but he would venture to say, that never was there more ignorance or cruelty evinced by a Magistrate in these dominions, in the admini stration of the King's commission, under the colour of authority.—Several witnesses were then examined in support of the statement made by the Learned Counsel ;.after which, Mr. WALFORD addressed the Jury on behalf of the defendant, and opened a case of justification, on the ground—first, that the plaintiff was a tippler; and second, that he had been guilty of such con temptuous demeanour towards the defendant in the discharge of his magisterial duties, as would war rant him in the conduct he had pursued. He referred to Burn's Justice, Hawkins Pleas of the Crown, and Blackstone's . Commentaries, in support of the latter proposition. Evidence was then adduced for the defendant, and Mr. MARRY.VET made an able reply. Mr. Baron WOOO then charged the Jury, that the defendant had certainly outstepped the limits of his authority. First, there was no pretence for handcuf fing the plaintiff; second, he had no authority for punishing the plaintiff in the way complained of as a tippler; for, supposing it to be proved that the plaintiff was 'a tippler, he could only have fined him 3s. 4d. and, in defaul t of paying that fine, he could but have set him in the stocks for four hours. Pro bably the excess of authority arose merely from ig norance, and without any malicious ,motives. The plaintiff, however, was entitled to some damages for the injury he had sustained. The Jury, which was composed of four esquires and eight talesmen, after deliberating for about ten minutes, found their verdict for the plaintiff- Damages £3O. AUG UST 4. TIMSON AND MARRYATT V. BALDERO. This was an action of replevin, brought by the assignees of Mr. Charles Baldero, to recover certain good and chattels taken under a distress by the de fendant, in the family seat at Asperton, in this county. The defendant pleaded as an avowry, that the hate father of the defendant and the bank being seized in fee of Asperton, had granted to the defendant, by deed, an annuity of £lOO, payable out of that pro perty, with the power of entering and distraining in the event of non-payment. The avowry then alleged that certain arrears of the annuity became due, and for those arrears the defendant distrained. The plain tiffs replied, first, that there was no such deed ; second, that there were no such arrears due ; and, third, that the defendant had released the annuity. This was the second trial of the same cause. Seve ral important questions were involved in the discus. sion, but it was now agreed on both sides to with draw a juror upon terms mutually as,ented to. 9 IP r. :••••••••-•• ••• .• • • _____________ - _________ ' lll 24' r -.
