This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a re spectable looking woman, the wife of a Master Block maker at Deptford, against the defendint, also a fe male, and wife to a publican, also residing at Dept ford; and the assault, as proved in evidence, arose out of the following circumstances. There is a Female Benefit Club, held at the house of the defendant, of which the plaintiff, it appeared, was a member, but not one of those most approved by the defendant, as she was what is termed a dry member, that is, one of those who did not spend any thing at the time of paying her subscription, as most of the other members did; on the day on which the assault complained of was committed, however, the plaintiff and a female friend went to the defendant's house, who acted as treasurer to the club, to draw some money which was due to her, and as she then attended to receive money, instead of paying it, she called for two quarterns of fir//prosf, one for herself and the other for her friend, I which they stood at the bar and sipped ; whether this potent beverage obscured the apprehension of the plain tiff, or not, does not appear ; but, upon paying the reckoning, and counting the moaey she had just before received of the defendant, she conceived she had received ninepence short of what she ought to have had. The landlady, however, soon made it appear that the nituisince, the subject of dispute, had been kept back as the balance remaining due upon a note of hand which she held of the plaintiff. The passions of these fair adversaries, however, being roused were not soon smoothed, a warm argument of words ensued, which was followed by one of blows, on the part of the de. fendant, who applied her fats with some effect, to the face and breast of the plaintiff, who was finally driven from the field, or rather from the house, without having an opportunity of striking a single blow. The defence setup was, that the plaintiff had ca• lumniated the chastity of the defendant's daughter, and said she was pregnant during the absence of her husband, who was gone from England upwards of dime years, by another man; and further, that when she discovered her situation, she had taken deleterious medicine to destroy the fruits of her incontinence previous to its birth. The Learned Judge told the Jury, that no words could justify an assault ; in the present case, the slan der cast upon the defendant's child had been most foul (if the assertions of the plaintiff were without foundation), and the Jury in giving damages, would consider how far the passions of a mother would be irritated by hearing a daughter so calumniated. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages ls. SEPTEMBER 1.-A case was heard in which one Simpson, who lets lodgings to ladies of easy virtue, .was plaintiff, and a Miss Ellis the defendant. It ap peared that the lady had been removed from the lie fendant's house, and taken into keeping by a Noble Duke, and the present action was brought for the recovery of 13 guineas for as many weeks lodging, and £l 13s. for damage sustained by broken glass,&c. The debt was denied by the defendant.—Under the direction of the Judge, who observed that the claims were not legal, both on account of the minority of the defendant, and because the lodgings were only taken by the week, the plaintiff was non-suited. ASSIZES. MAIDSTONE, AUGUST SI. AANDOM V.IIILTON AND OTHERS. This was an action by the Assignees of one John Sandon, a bankrupt, formerly a wine merchant at , Deptford, against the Kent Insurance Company, to recover the sum of 02000, alledged to be lost by the burning of his warehouses at Deptford. . The defendants pleaded several matters ; princi pally that the bankrupt had feloniously set the pre mises on fire—that he had given a false account of his loss—that he had not produced all his books of, Account which were saved, and that he had not made I I a true disclosure of the facts, and of his loss. Mr. Serjeant BEST opened the case on the part of the plaintiff, in which he stated that the fire happened on the 10th of February, 18U9, most probably from the circumstance of a lighted candle being carried into the packing room over the warehouse, in which was a large quantity of straw ; and that he should rebut the plea imputing misconduct to the plaintiff, by giving evidence that he did every thing at the time which an innocent man would naturally do. He then called a witness of the name of Smelt, who lived clerk with Sandom, and he gave the follow ing account of the transaction :—That about nine or ten o'clock of the morning of the fire, Mr. Sandom went into the warehouse, and soon after called to him to bring him a candle, which he carried to him in a cleft stick. The candle was wanted to examine some iron - hoops, to see whether they had the King's mark or 'not. While they were thus employed, he heard the horses tramping about below, they having broken loose. He went down into the stable, and as he was going to town that morning with the gig, he took the opportunity of being below to harness the horse.— While he remained below, he saw Mr. Sandom come out of the warehouse and go upon the wharf, but did not observe whether he jud the candle in his hand or not. The witness then again went into a room be low the packing-room, to change his dress, and while i there he heard a crackling noise above, and looking through a trap which was in the ceiling, through which they let down goods, he saw a smoke, and going up stairs he discovered the straw (of which there were two loads and a quarter) to be on fire.— Upon his giving the alarm, Mr. Sandom immediately bailed two ships which lay in the River, opposite the wharf, one of which was the flag ship, and from which an engine was sent on shore in a few minutes. The premises were, however, completely destroyed in about two hours. During the fire Mr. Sandom did every thing .in his power, and put his life several times in imminent danger, for which some bye-stan ders remonstrated with him without effect. The wit ness afterwards examined the ruins, and discovered the ledger much mutilated by the fire, and which he stated was all that was saved from the conflagration. The booki of accounts were all kept in a counting house above where the fire broke out, as a new one building on the wharf was not then fit for use. He then gave evidence as to the property in the ware house, but could not recollect much of what was CQII - in the account delivered in by Mr. Sandom: ri•nitt a long eta able ePast-Lltenination b Mr. CARROW, for the defendants, it appmed, however. that for some time previous to the fire, Mr. &adorn . had been under great pecuniary embarrassments, and . had been frequently arrested, and had executions 0* his goods ; and it likewise aprared, that on .he ' morning of the fire the witness had, by Mr. Sandom • `order, removed the day-book and order-book front the o ld to the new counting-house, where they remain ' ed for a considerable time after the fire, and that in tthe course of the day oil which the fire happened, the witness saw Mr. Bandon.' enter a memorandum in ths day-book of the accident. Upon this evidence Mr. Serjeant Bur Interfered, and stated, that as the issue as to the non-production ' of the books of account was against the plaintiff, he should not pursue the cause farther, bnt should sub mit to be nonsuited.—Plaintiff nonsnited. iSPENCER v. C•LLMS. ' This was an action of trespass, for breaking and entering into the plaintiff's land, and making a turn. pike road through his fields. The road In questioft is a new piece of road, made by the trustees of th• roads, leading through Wrotham to Maidstone ; and the question was, Whether they had not exceeded the limits of their jurisdiction ? By the Act thee were empowered to make the road to and fro= I Wrotham ; but the line of road they had actuaUr made wholly avoided the town, and went at &It back of it. ILord ELLTNIOROUGH observed, thit could neuter be said to be a road to a town which carried you be yond it; without encountering a single habitation.— The consequence was, that the plaintiff had a verdict, by which means, as the mad .is already made, the Trustees must pay him his own price. This cause concluded the Assizes on the Civil Side.—On the Crown Side the causes were wholly uninseresting. Samuel Baas, IP. Kemmt, and IV: Regeles, who were charged with the murder of James Lewis, a soldier in the '3Bth Regiment of Foot, at Folkstone, some time since, were discharged ; the Grand Jury having thrown out the bill against them. James Giles and Abraham Hawihv, two horse deal ers, who were committed for a rape on Hannah Mar ' shall, at Benenden, in this county, were admitted to bail, on an affidavit, that the prosecutrix bad disap peared the night before the Assizes, and could no where be found. The Assizes finished, and here ended the Home Circuit. CANTERBURY, AUGUST SO. The Criminal Court yesterday was occupied sera ral hours in the trial of John Hunt, for a rape on Anna - Lee, an infant of interesting appearance, of the age of ten years and six months, at Milton, near Graves• end, when the feet of the rape not being fully sub. stantiated, the prisoner was acquitted of the capita? part of the charge, but ordered to be detained and tried for the assault. Harler Tickner, a notorious offender, was charged with sheep•stealing, and found guilty. Several minor offenders were tried, and at four the Court adjourned till next morning, when there are yet 11 prisoners to be tried.—Bcfore the Court broke up, James Giles and Abraham Hawkins, severally charged with a rape on the body of Hannah Marshall, were brought to the bar, and the prosecutrix not appearing, the! a lung argument by the Counsel, they were lie• rated on their bail to appear and take their trials at the next Assizes--Giles in £4OO and four sureties of £lOO each—Hawkins in 8300 and three sureties of £lOO each. It was said the prosecutrix had absented, herself from her service on Sunday night last, and had not since been heard of is, however, understood, that every possible means would be used to discover her. The coach from Perth to Glasgow broke down oft Thursday se'nnight, in 'consequence of the horses not having been properly broken in, when the driver had both his legs broken, and the guard was slightly hurt. The Lincoln heavy coach was overturned on Wed. nesday afternoon, in Biggleswade, by which the coach. man, named Newberry, was killed on the spot, and two passengers so much injured as not to be expected to recover; three others were also severely hart. EXECUTION.—Saturday se'nnight, Antony Sylva, Portuguese seaman, convicted of the murder of Ro bert Morrison, on the quay of Belfast, by stabbing him with a dagger, was conveyed to the place of exe cution at Carrickfergus, dressed in a white surplice, at his particular request. He displayed true fortitude and resignation to the laws of the land, and a feeling sense of his situation. He was attended by two Ro man Catholic Priests. When arrived at the fatal place, he knelt praying for a short space ; and, being • asked by Mr. Redfern, interpreter, did he kill Robert Morrison? he answered, calling GOD to witness, before whom he must appear in three minutes, that he did not. Being asked whether he knew how he came by his . death ? he answered, calling on GOD to witness, that he did not. The vast crowd that surrounded hint exhibited that tender sensibility natural to his si tuation. He then called on them in his own language as !Christians, to beg of GOD to have mercy on his soul, and to forgive him his sins. He was then tutned off, and died without much apparent suffering. He was about 28 years of age. Bow-sreerr.—Friday evening, Peter Thera, fc • selling, on the 4th ult. Et the St. James's Haymarket, to W6ll.
