SUMMER ASSIZES. IstAIDSTONE. AUGUST Is. UNDERHILL v. SHORE. This was an action brought by Mr. Underhill for an assault committed on him in the Assembly-rooms at Ramsgate, where a considerable number of the fashionable residents and visitors were met together, fur the purposeof electing a Master of the Ceremonies. Mr. Seijeant Tauriv, who led the case for the plain . tiff, stated that, in consequence of the death of Mr. Clough, preparations were made on the 6th of Octo ber last, for the election of a new Master. Mr. Hayes and Mr. Bayley were the- candidates. It was ar ranged that those Ladies and Gentlemen, inhabitants and visitors of the parishes of St. Lawrence and St. Peter, who were then subscribers, or should subscribe before six . o'clock on the evening of the ensuing Sa turday, should be eligible to vote for the new Master of the Ceremonies, Lord .and Lady Turner were then at Ramsgate, and they took a warm interest in behalf of WI-Hayes. Electors were qualified on both sides : and by the efforts of Lord and Lady Turner, a list was given in on the Bth of October, the day of election, of 76 persons for whom Lord Turner had paid the subscriptions, as staunch supporters of Mr. Hayes. This number undoubtedly included many per sons, who, though respectable in their respective si tuations, could not properly come under the descrip tion of the Ladies and Gentlemen of the neighbour , hood of Ramsgate who were in the habit of frequent, ing the Assembly-rooms. Upon the day of election S. Sherwood, Esq. was called to the Chair, who took that ostensible situation upon an understanding that after the scrutineers (Mr. Peter Moore for Mr. Hayes, and Mr. Shore, the defendant, for Mr. Bayley) had delivered their opinions upon the eligibility of the persons coming forward to vote, his decision should be without appeal. In the list of the 76 persons which was given in by Mr. Peter Moore, as voters for Mr. Hayes, the plaintiff was included. Upon his appearing to vote for Mr. Hayes, dissatisfaction was expressed by the friends of Mr. Bayley. The vote was argued by the scrutineers, but was finally re ceived by the Chairman. Some persons on this, asked whether Mr. Underhill meant to attend the Assem• blies? who replied that he should do..as he pleased upon that subject—he should suit his convenience in that respect. Being of somewhat diminutive size, an inquiry took place among the supporters of Mr. Bayley," Where the little schoolmaster was?" Mr. Underhill immediately jumped into a chair, calling opt that there he was, as tall as any of them, and he could speak as loud. This, it seems, gave some offence to the polite assemblage, which was further increased by his going out, and introducing as a voter Mr. Crickett, a master as well as a jobbing carpenter and builder, who entered the room in a corduroy waist coat and trowsers. Crickett upon being remonstrated with, retired ; but the full weight of the indignation of the defendant, and others in the interest of Mr. Bayley, fell upon the unfortunate plaintiff, who, in the sight of his wife and daughters, was knocked down, and pushed out of the room. It was for this outrage that the action was brought. S. Sherwood, Esq. examined.—l resided at Rams rate last October. On the Bth of that month I took the chair on the election for a Master of the Cere monies. The plaintiff's vote was offered, which I, accepted. I afterwards saw the defendant seize the plaintiff by the collar or shoulders, and forcibly urge him towards the door, upon which great confusion took place. Cross-examined.—The persons who attended the Assembly-rooms were highly respectable; don't know that Mr. Wells (a person in the list) is a dealer in sausages; had never seen Mr. Laycock, a journey man bricklayer, there ; don't know Mr. Lacey, the green-grocer; don't know Mr. Crickett has been fiddling at alehouses; Mr. Moore, upon the evening of the 6th, brought a list of 76; Mr. Mrs. and Miss Underhill, were three of the 76; Mr. Hayes is a re lation of Lady Turner. Major Colgrave observed, 4 , Where is this little schoolmaster, I should like to see him ?" and the plaintiff, being a little man, jumped up into a chair, saving " Here he is." Don't remem ber his saying, " as good a man as any of you :" he brought in Mr. Crickett before he was turned out ; Crickett came in his working dress; though he came in the dress of a mechanic, he is a master builder and a. freeholder ; occasionally he does jobbing-work ; votes were made on both sides, without reference to its being likely the parties would ever come to the Assembly ; upon Mr. Crickett being presented as a voter, there was a murmur of indignation among the company ; Crickett was reasoned with ; he confessed that he had no business there, and retired without offering his vote; did not hear the Ladies appealing to the defendant to protect them from the insult of Mr. Underhill's introducing such persons. Lady Turner was presefit at the election; was em iird in collectin; votes for Mr. Hayes; sent the p tiff in her carriage for Crickett; saw the defend ant beat Mr. Underhill ; towards the latter part or the election she saw Mr. Shore rush past her in a great passion ; the moment he got to the plaintiff he took him by the collar, and shook and pushed him, the whole length of the table; he shook him vio lently and beat him; I thought he would be killed ; there was blood running from his eye ; saw him after wards, when he appeared much agitated and hurt. Peter Moore, Esq. M.P.—Was at Ramsgate at the time of the election, and at the previous meetings with respect to it; I was the scrutineer for Mr. Hayes; Ms. Shore was scrutineer for Mr. Bayley; great ex-, ertions were made on both sides to get votes; I re commended the friends of Mr. Hayes to go round the town and to bring op all the young people who were capable of dancing and fit to be in the room to vote; Mr. Underhill is a very respectable man ; don't know a more respectable man in all Ramsgate—has been in the habit of visiting him ; don't know a more use ful member of society. Mr. Underhdrs vote was ob- ' j ect ed to by Shore ; it was decided to be agood votes, previous to his voting he was ob j ecte d to in very itn-' proper terms ; ,after his vote had been received stud those of forty other persons, Mr. Shore darted to wards the plaintiff, and said, " t will show you s how to tura his out, tf yon will assist me." saw him seize the plaintiff, one of whose daughters was stand ing near the chair, and } believe she fainted ; thew was nothing in the, conduct of the plaintiff to give . occult* ti? this SkiVaseat k saw him Afterwards,, and his forehead and face were batter and lidoe4 ; 1 spoke to the defendant as to what could have &teed him to treat the little schoolmassereD "Wend v ; he said, the plaintiff had stated . o..isim—.the de fendant is a stout strong man. Other witnesses confirmed these witasspes aslOthe blood on the face of the plaintiff. Mr. GURNEY ascribed the usage whisk the plaintiff had received to his improper conduct inhering been extremely insolent to the COMpalky, and also by in traducing Crickett. He admitted that a verdict must be found against the defendant for the assault ; but the provocation offered by the plaintiff entitled him only -to the smallest damages. As to the blood on the face of the plaintiff, he should call a witness to contradict that part of the statement, and who would prove that no more violence was used than was suf ficient to remove him from the company be had so grossly insulted. Several highly respectable witnesses were called, who negatived the blood and bruises, and confit med the view taken of the case by the Learnea Counsel for the defendant. Mr. Serjeant TADDY replied in sr very ingenious and humorous speech, and put it to the Jury if he had not fully made out the case. The LORD CUM BA Row summed tip the evidence, and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages, One Shilling. AUGUST 13.—CROWN MDR The business on the Crown side finished to-day, when sentence of death was passed upon 13 capital convicts, none of whom were left for execution.— Their cases were not marked tly any prominent fea tures of enormity, being chiefly burglaries, .sheep stealing, and horse-stealing. - CIVIL SIDE. GREOSON AND OTHERS V. MORRELL AND OTHERS. This was an issue directed by the Court of Exche quer so try whether there was an immemorial modus for mowing crops in the parish of Hawkhurst, in county, at the rate of 2d. per acre in one part of the parish, and lid. in another. The principal plaintiff was Mr. Jesse Gregson, formerly a respectable Soli citor in London, and the defendants were the lessees of the tithes of Hawkhurst, and the Dean and Chap- ter of Christ Church, Oxford. This case was of great importance to the parties. After a trial of considerable length, a verdict was found for the plaintiffs, establishing the modus, and confirming' a decision upon the same question be tween other parties, in the sth James I. ELSAM AND ANOTHER V. MANTLE AND OTHERS. This was an action by the plaintiffs, as architects, to recover the amount of their bill for erecting the new Jail at Dover, in pursuance of a contract with the defendants as Magistrates of the Borough. After the trial had proceeded a considerable length, it was agreed to refer all matters in difference to the arbi tration of Mr. BOLLAND. GAT V. WHOLMES AND WIFE. This was an action for defamatory words, impeach ing the plaintiff's chastity, and imputin to her an improper intercourse with the male defen dant. The words were alleged to have been spoken by the female defendant. Special damage was laid in the loss of the plaintiff's situation as a consequence of the slander. Mr. MARRYAT (with whom was Mr. BOLLARD) represented the plaintiff to be a Miss Gay, who had been employed for many years, as an ironer, by a Mr. Hall, who carried on the business of a laundress at Lewisham, through the agency of his wife. The plaintiff had lodged for about a month with the de fendants. For some groundless cause Mrs.Wholmes thought proper to entertain a jealousy of Miss Gay, to whom she imputed improper familiarities between her and her husband, and had gone the lentil of calling the plaintiff by the offensive name of —, and had even declared in express terms to several people that she and her husband had had criminal conversation. The Learned Counsel admitted, that for such slander op action would lie in the Common Law Courts, unless temporal damage could be proved. In the Ecclesiastical Court, to call a chaste virgin by the hateful name to which he alluded, the sentence was no more than standing in a white sheet before the Altar with a taper in her hand. Here, however, loss of service could be proved as a consequence of the defamation ; for Miss Gay had for a period Of 15 years been in a lucrative situation, where she earned 14s. a week and her board, which advantages she lost in consequence of the gross vituperation of the defendant's wife. For so serious an injury she now sought a liberal compensation in damages. Two females, named Gable and Clarke, proved distinctly the slanderous words alleged in the decla ration, and Mr. Hill, the male laundress, proved that he had dismissed the plaintiff from his employment in consequence of the slander uttered by Mrs.Whol mes, which was widely circulated through Lewisham, Deptford, Greenwich, and the neighbouring district. The plaintiff-had applied to a solicitor, named Mou bray, by whom the action was brought. Mr. GURNEY addressed the Jury in mitigation of damages, and urged such topics as the circumstances of the case presented. The Jury, under the direction of the LORD CHIEF ' BAROIt, found their verdict for the plaintiff —Da 1, mages £5, Costs 40s. WELLS, AUGUST 12.

Mr. Justice BUAROUG H and Mr. Jus tice RICHARDSON came irto town on Saturday even ing, and attended Divine Service yesterday at the Cathedral. The criminal calendar is not heavy.— There are 57 prisoners in all. One woman is charged with the murder of her child, and two men with at tempts at rape, one under very aggravated circum stances The rest of the culprits (except three whose crimes we cannot advert to) are for minor offences. O n the civil side 52 causes are entered, of which six are special Juries.' The following are the only mat ters of any iuterest yet disposed iff. a clothier, to recover the value of certain machinery seized by the defendant, and sold under his order.— Mr. Messiter having purchased, in the year 1816, certain spinning -machines undo. an execution, the property of Robert Fry, let the same upon a lease to ihsietinitely, to holdover. The machines continned, as before, in the possession of ' Fry ; but the defend ant took the precaatioa of branding them separately with the initials of his name; the rent ow hive to be paid - wat•elever month. Owtheillitif • Scaly...WOO Fry, who had beeovoilaweassed4sr some time, corn mined an act of bankruptcy ; Mr. Messiter then took possession Of - the torlorredisinchinery,:and sold it as his own ; and for the promo& ef .tbar usittheineamt action was broil/it. The plaintiff relied upon the 'law of James i. sehi4h duclatw that property in the possession and orderand disposition of a bankrupt, he (the bankrupt) being permitted thy the real owner to have the ripute of it, undlostiercise sets of owner ship over it, shall, nnewithstanding4hat: Itirnot really! his property, panto his assignees.; and the Judge. 'held the ease 'so stoma within ihat.statata. There ` . was no doubt that themachines did really.belong to Mr. Messiter ; but4sis :having wsseely, upon his pur -1 hase, brandedtbem•with hisin Wats, didnocsufficiently? (as his Lordship thought) give notice lathe world of the change in the ownership of The ,property. A 'second point was raised ,of no :public interest, which went, as a question of evidence, to 4he Jory ; even.: 'molly the plaintiff, under the judge'4 direction, took a verdict.for £875. ?fit I[ll4Gli. ffUlort. _ . This was an indictment against the driven"( a Bath' coach, for assaulting and maltreating Wm. Sashy.t Mr. Saxby, it appeared, was employed by Mr. Fre mont, the carrier of Bath, as a sort of inspector, too prevent the irregular practices'of his -coachmen ; and the defendant having some distaste either to the officer or the office, took an opportunity of pulling the former by the nose. William Saaby, she prosecutor, wee the only wit ness called. He said that Hunt had twirled his hat round upon_ his head, and thrust his knuckles into his face until he -made his eyes water. Mr. Serjeant !'ELL. said, that there was no disposi tion to press heavily against the defendant ; but that the indictment was brought to.prevent other coach men from treating Mr. Saxby as a superfluous person. Mr. C. F. WILLIAMS considered the case as a trum pery one. The prosecutor had lost a tear! -Mr. Serjeant PELL—Yes ; and the defendant has lost a verdict! Mr. Justice RICHARDSON desired the Jury to find a •erdict of Guilty. How the Court above would look at the affair was another matter. AUGUST as. SPARKS AND OTHERS v. COOKE AND OTHERS. This was an action to recover 611. being the amount of two bills of exchange, under the following circumstances :—The plaintiffs, Messrs. Sparks and Co. are bankers at Crewkerne, in this county. On the 22d of November, 1821, a Mr. Phelps, who acted as country traveller to the defendants, called at the counting-house of Messrs. Sparks, and desired to have bills upon town in exchange for sixty-one pounds' worth of local paper, that paper being notes of the East Devon Bank at Honiton. Bills upon Lon don were given to Mr. Phelps, and the East Devon notes were accepted by the plaintiffs. On the 24th of November, however (two days after the transac tion), the East Devon Bank stopped payment; and Messrs. Sparks, under a notice which was kept posted in their counting-house, claimed reimbursement of the 611. from Messrs. C ooke and Co. the defendants. Mr. Gustavus Deacon, a clerk in the employ of the plaintiffs, said, that when Mr. Phelps came into, the counting-house, on the 22d of November, he pointed to the notice, as the conditions on which only local notes were taken. Mr. Phelps looked at the notice as it was stuck up, and said " Very well." Mr. Isaac Sparks, also a clerk in the plaintiff; employ, said that he witnessed the transaction, as described by the former witness. The notice was in these terms..." All local notes paid into this Bank will be received expressly at the risk of the persons paying them in, provided they are returned to such persons within •the term of three weeks." Mr. GASRLICE contended, as matter of law, that the plaintiffs stood bound to present local notes forth with, and not to keep them until convenience might serve. If the notes in question had been presented at the East Devon Bank on the 23d of November, or on the morning of the 24th, they would havebeen paid. He would chew, however, as a matter of fact, that Mr. Phelps Inver had any knowledge of the no= l tice in question. Mr. William Phelps was then called, and denied that his attention had ever been called to the notice by Mr. Deacon, or that he in any way knew of it. Mr. Justice RICHARDSON left it to the Jury to say whether Phelps had, or had not, been apprised of the notice. Without the notice, and without due publi cation of it, the plaintiffs could have no right to re cover on the present occasion ; for notes which were passable from hand to hand were returnable only upon endorsement, or upon special undertaking. If the notice had been duly published, however, there was no negligence in the plaintiffs having omitted to present the notes at the East Devon Bank immedi ately after receiving them ; they were not bound by law to use any such degree of activity. In the sequel the learned Judge left the case to the Jury, directing them to find for the plaintiff or for the defendant, as they did or did not believe that Mr. Phelps had been apprised of the notice; The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1:61. CROWN SIDE. Mr. Justice BURIROVGII, in his charge to the Grand Jury, laid much stress upon the law now applicable, to the crime of manslaughter. By the new Act, he said the sentence was left much to the discretion of the Judge, who bad it in his power, in aggravated cases, to carry punishment so far as transportation for fourteen years. Such an Act was most salutary, he might say most necessary; for there were many circumstances under which manslaughter fell little short of murder. This, for instance, was particularly the case with respect to deaths arising out of prize fighting. The London bruisers, from their strength and science, were able, many of them, to kill a man with a single blow. Juries were too apt, under the idea of " a fair fight," to find verdicts upon such oc casions merely of manslaughter: he (Mr. Justice Bur rough) should frequently be disposed to consider them as amounting to capital offences. Robert Chikott, a wretched-ltioking man of seventy. one years of age, was this morning, put to the Bar, charged with a detestable offence. The evidence was most clear against the prisoner ) , and the Jury, after about two minutes consideration,, found him Guilty. The Judge ,(Mr. Justice Duattouuti), its passing ,sentence of death, advised the whttehed man to make the best use of the short time which yet remained to him, for that, beyoud a doubt, sentence would be MARRIED.

Last night In Inquest whirls had heen adjourned these dams was resumed, before T. Summon, KN. Coroner foe Loadcti, 'touching the death of James Carty, IVIVI died in St.. Barthol omew's Ilospital in consequence of wounds he receivred Inaba& !fray with a man named -Gently, -at •the Coopers' Arms, West. street, Smithfield, on the night of Saturday three wleks. The Committee-room at the hospital was crowded 'to excess, and upwards of 30 witnesses were examined during the inquiry. There were two men, named Cline and Cayhe. isectised of being concerned in the affray. It was said-that Cline held the deceased's hands whilst Gandy beat him, at. 4 that Cayne, also assisted Gantly, and prevented the watchman from 'extricating the deceased. The deceased died of his wounds in the Hospital on Triday last.—Mr. WHEZLIII. the House Surgeon, described the nature of the wounds the deceased had received. They were ten in number, upon his head. Some were an inch in length, but the chief wound penetrated the skull. Ile could not at first say the skull was fractured, as it proved to be since, but he was certain it caused the deceased's death.—'rhe Jury deliberated, and at eleven o'clock returned a verdict of—" Wilful Blunder against Gantly, and Manslaughter against Cline and Cayne." The following Inquests were also held yesterday: At the White Hart, Shadwell, on the body of Mr. Leymond, aged 45, whose wife ed about a month ago, since time he had given himself up to drinking. On Sunday he came home much intoxicated, and died in a short time. Verdict—" Died from excessive drinking." At the White Hart, Goodnran's yard, hlinories, on the body of J.

At the Bull, Parson's-green, on the body of J. Jones, a lad. who it appeared, strolled from his father's house to play with other lads upon the Green, and when about ten yards from the Bull, he ran under a horse which was drawing a cart heavily laden. The horse knocked him down, and the wheels passed over his body and killed him on the spot. Verdict—" Acci. dental Death—no blame attached to the driver." At the Monster Tavern, Willow-walk, St. George's in the West, on the body of James Matthews, a bay whose pares live in that place, and who, about a week bark, had been hd tating the Indian jugglers in swallowing a sword ; some of it schoolfellows attempted to dissuade him from it, when he lowed a black-lead pencil, which stopped in the passage to the stomach, and could not be removed, in consequence he an Monday. Verdict—ifccidenial Death. Yesterday, as Captain BOILEAU, of Peckham, and Mr. RICHARDS, of king -street, Mary-la-Boane, were taking a chive on the Waterloo Bridge-road, in a one-horse chaise, the horse took fright in consequence of a ball thrown by some boys at play accidentally striking it, and ran with great rapidity along the New-road, near the Coburg Theatre. Mr. RICHARD 3 jumped out, in order to save himself, but fell with such force that two of his ribs wete broken, and his wrist dislocated. The Captain kept his seat, although his horse was quite unmanageable, and a little be yond the Elephant and Castle, lit came in contact with a heavy cart, by which the gig was upset. Fortunately Captain BOILEAU' met no injury. A Gso RUN AWAY FROM A HORSE!—A few days since, as two Gentlemen, of tolerable bulk, were as cending a very steep hill in a . gig, en their way from Newhaven to Brighton, the harness gave way, and the vehicle, detaching itself from the horse, at neatly the top of the hill, ran backwards to the bottom to distance of at least 50 yards) without doing any further injury to the Gentlemen than shooting them out, ju:t to remind them another time, out of cothpasion to the horse, to alight and walk!
