----.-- „O tt L.INLASTEU 4SSIZES. WILDNEADAY, AUGUST 28. BRIDGE-STRIET GANS D. RIDGWAY. Mr. Tyndall 'Rifling!' to bays this praesention postponed till to-ntorrow, on &Clash that a polka °Seer, named Batty, • material witness, was at Chester Hastens, and would be bets this evening or to-morrow morning. Mr. Brougham.—We object ts this jpostponement. We have • great number of witnesses at a very great expense. Every one knows that Ridgway is a very poor man ; indeed so poor, that he has not a shindig in the world, and is indebted to the char.ly of his neighbours, who see an attempt made to overpower and crush him, for the money which enables him to km!) his witnesses here. pwiug to the scantiness of his means he delayed bringing his values's' up till the latest moment, sad they are now here. Mr. Baron Wood.—When will you be ready to go on ? Mr. Tindall.--We expect the witness early in the morning by the coach. Mr. Brougham denied that any Liverpool coach came in till late. Mr. Tindall said, that in that case the witness would come is a chaise. Mr. Baron Wood.—You most pay the expenses of the de lay to the parties. Mr. Tindall said, they were ready to pay whatever his Lord ship thought right. Mr. Bro•tghsv.—O yes, my Lord, there appeiva to be no went of inouey on the other side, quite the contrary. Mr. Tindall said they would pay all their expoces from this time. Mr. Brougham urged another objection. He was alsore for the defence in • special case in the other court, and might not be able to attend in the morning. Mr. Tindall said they would tint bring it on in his learned friend'► absence. . . . . Mr. Baron Wood said be would endeavour to accommodate both panics as well as lie could. fUr. Brougham wished to mention another inconvenience. Ms learned friend Mr. Evans, who was with him, and whose •doable assistance be should be very sorry to lose, was en gaged in the second special cue in the other court to morrow. Mr. Tindall expressed a willingness to put off the case to Friday. Mr. Brougham said, that would perhaps be a convenience to ►im, but it would be the to Oar defendant. lie wished it to be used fur to-morrow morning, and that any further delay would be on his application. Mr. Tindall had no doubt they would be ready to-morrow nr.rning. Mr. Evans submitted, that the personal convenience of coon eel ought to be cous:dered. lle should be kept here by this postponement. Mr. Brougham wished it to be peremptorily Sled for to- MORO VI morning. Mr. Baron N ood.—Will you be reedy ? Mr. Brougham hoped he should, as he might get the Lord Chief Justice to make an arrangement respecting the other case. But another objection might be made. How could they ascer tain that a witness, under recognizance@ to give evidence in Chester, would be bere at a given time t His Lordship said, if be out not maitre they most go on to morrow without him. Several insolvent debtors were discharged in the usual form. Mr. Fell afterwards came into Court, and stated that be bad been iustrueted to oppose the discharge of one of the insol •ents, but had come into the other Court, believing that the cause of Ridgway occupied this court. Mr. Berne Wood.-1 can't help you. There can be no great harm in discharging a poor imolveut debtor. THURSDAY, AUGUST At nine o'clock the counsel on both sides appeared. Mr. Baron Wood.—l am ready in that case of yours, Mr. Brougham. Mr. Hopkins (the Clerk.)—There is a certiorari, my Lord, removing it to the Court of King'. Bench. Mr. Baron Wood.—Tben I can't try it. Mr. Sergeant Hullock.—No, my Lord, that is the object— (mattering and looking at the table) ; we are not ready. Mr. Tindall.—We are not ready. Mr. Hopkins stated that there was another indictment agaiust Daniels iii the name case, but he had failed to take the steps to entitle him to try or traverse. Mr. Baron %Vouch—His recognizance. are entreated then. Mr. Tindell.-0 no, no. Mr. S. rgeaut Hullock.—My Lord, we don't ask for that. Mr. Brougleam.—Nothing can be more fair and candid than the whole proceeding on the other side. Mr. Sergeaut mu happy that my learned friend entertains so just sense of our conduct. Mr. Broughaeu.—Yes, indeed, the same sense, you your selves entertain of the proceeding. Out of respect to your Lordship, not to the prosecutors, I call it nothing but this pro ceeding after we came here with our 20 witnesses. Mr. Harem Wood.--Perhaps it is a defect in the law. Mr. Beougliain.—And there are persona who are extremely anxiou► to avail themselves of defects en the law for oppressing an individual. The Orem would be, that when the period of Ridgway's imprisonment expired, he would not be bailed, but detsined till the next assizes. Mr. Baron Wood.—What can I do? Mr. Brougham.—My application is, that your Lordship may ender biro to he bailed at Manchester, where he is known, in stead of requiring him to appear in the King's Benet,. Mr. Baron Wood.—Yon most wake sour application to the King's Bench. Mr.Brougliam—And there is the hardshipof this proceeding . Mr. Sergeant Illulook.-11 the application be proper, the King's Bench will listen to it. At any rate, your Lordship would not anticipate any future proceeding. Mr. Baron Wood.--I say nothing of that. All that I say is, that I have no authority. Hera the proceeding ended. It is impossible foe those who saw it not to form an idea of the expression in every face in court, save Murray's which was unchanged. The expression was not equivocal in the learned Judge's, the Sergeant's, or Mr. Tindall's, any more than in Mr. Brougham's or Mr. Evans's. Mr. Brougham stated that the certiorari was attested or the 1134 of June. Mr. Hillock said that was tbe canal way. On the sulject of the above proceeding, The Times say.---" To the admirers of law, as an instru ment of torture—of that torture which preys upon the soul itself—we recommend the report of last Thursday's proceedings at Lancaster, in the case of the Bridge•street Gang against poor Ridgway. He brought up 20 witnesses, at an expense to him over. wbelming i on the understanding that he was to be .~, ENNIIMMO:esn.eA!r _ ,'TONAL REGIS tried on Wednesday; at the request of the proseeu• tors, who were not ready, the trial was put Wilma the following day ; Thursday came--and the pro• ceedings• were stopped, because ther3 was certiorari prepared to have the case removed into Oa' King's Bench!! What hope is therefor the poor man when he can be thus ground down t—when the Judge ex claims " it is a defect in the law"—when the res pectable Counsel for the prosecutors can show manifest symptoms of shame and pity at the abmni nable course of oppression thus imposed upon him by his official duty ; and yet the same course be un relentingly pursued in the outraged name of jut- Ilse !" ROYAL GARDENS, YAUXIIALL. The most propitious and prosperous season this beautiful and brilliant place of amusement ever had was concluded on Friday night—the Proprietors were evidently determined to spare no expence to make the attractions, the comforts, and the conveniences of the Gardens worthy of the public approbation, and in return the public, properly appreciating their exertions, have liberally rewarded them— the appearance, the gaiety, of the scene was self-evident to every one, but some of the fre quenters of the Gardens, who are accustomed to enter them at a late hour, may not be aware that the Wines and Viands have this year been of the very best possible quality, and furnished, in many instances, at less than half the price charged in prior seasons—thus, while the rich could enjoy in the moat perfect excellence their Champagne, Bur gundy, and Claret, the more economic could b.! cheaply regaled with the best beef, ham, atout, port, uud sherry, at much less than coffee-house prices.-.We regret the close of the Gardens at so early a period, but we sincerely rejoice that the pre sent proprietors have been remunerated for their patriotic determination that this unique scene should not be closed (which had been contemplated by the late proprietor) wi;hout an effort to continue its at tractions open to the astonishment of foreigners— the Gardens on the last night were illuminated with the same brilliancy as has dazzled our eyes through the season, with the addition of " We respectfully bid you farewell," in richly lighted var•egated lamps. At the close of the concert Mr. C. Taylor, who has been employed by the proprietors, during the present season, as s sort of stage manager, it' we may so use the expression, delivered the following address from the or:hestra LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, • The period having arrived when these Gardens close for the season, I am deputed by the Proprietors to endeavour to es press to yon the deep sense they entertain of the distinguished patrona-e and liberality with which you have honoured this Establishment. Countenanced, as they have been, by the gracious sanction of Lis Majesty's name, and the great resort of the Nobility, - and Public at large, they cannot hat feel the wannest gratitude for such favours; and I sin apprehensive that, in attempting to ex press their deep sense of obligation, I shall fail of doing justice to their feelings. The Proprietors have ascertained, with pleasure and with pride, that the Euglish nation takes a peculier interest in the preservation and continuance of these favourite Gardens ; uso mated, as they are, in remembrance with years of rational and lively amusement ; and to cherish and deserve this regard has and will ever be their study and delight. They bave great pleasure in alluding to a new (maitre of at traction they have this season givon to the Gardens—the Jams nile Fete, which excited such universal satisfaction, thrt a ra• petitiou of it has bean much desired, even during the present season. It will be annually contidned, at the most cenvenient period of the holidays. In the Vocal and Instrumental department, both novelty and variety have been introduced ; sod the atsiduous endeavours of the Propried:ra will be directed to give such a character to branch of their amusements as shall be worthy of the inasical taste of the country. In the Mechanic, Scenic, and Pyrotechnic Departments—in the decorations and illuminations—they have alreatiy introduced appropriate novelties ; and still farther improvements are medi tated, which they trust will equal any expectation that may be excited in the Public, by ibis announcement of their design.— With regard to the amusements generg:ly, the Gardens came into the hands of the present Proptietors but a very s tort pe riod before the commencement of the season now Lrininating ; but as far as that limited time would admit of their efforts, 'Le expence or exertion has been spared to render them worthy of the popularity which they have attained. The proprietors are most happy to find, that the quality and price of the wines and refre►hments have given the highest satisfaction, and created a demand far beyond their antici pation. The Proprietors feel highly gratified in being able to state, that only one or two instances of irregularity, which were immediately suppressed, and not one of depredation, have oc curred throughout the whole season ; and you may be d, Ladies and Gentlemen, that to maintain the order, decorum, and reputation of these hardens, tne same care will be unre mittingly employed ; sod there can be no doubt employed with the same uncue►s. • . fan desired, Ladies and Gentlemen to add, that the Pro prietors pledge themselves, that their pant exertions to please you shall be exceeded by the future. During the recess their efforts will be incessant to merit a continuance of the encou ragement they bare received ; sad, to redeem their pledge, no pe I trouble nor pecuniary consideration will deter them from selecting and introducing every novelty that is adapted to their place of amintement, awl worth) of the taste and judg ment of a British public. For the Proprietors, and every Member of this Establish twent, permit me to return their grateful acknowledgments; and assuring you that to merit the continuance of your appro bation will he their highest pleasure, and proudest boast, in the words of the Motto of the Evening— " We respectfully say farewell." I - . S 287 THE NEW MARRIAGE ACT. Opinion of the King's Advocate, Sir Cbristopiier Robinette, upon the above Act. Referring to the late Act, 3d Comp IV. cap. 75, sec. 16, and the former Marriage Act, the opiettek of the King'. Advo cate is recleaned, on the following questions ;.-W hearer any • Marriage or Marriage., from and after the Ist September neat ensuing, can be valid, or Minister or Ministers solemnising the same, be in legal exercise of his or their duty, of which Mar riage or Marriages all the three publication, of basin , or two or one of such publiestions, which have taken place conform ably with the before mentlaxed Act of his Majesty King George the Second, For p iog Clandestine Marriages," pre rioni/y N fuels! of September . " Doctors' Commons. Aug. 27, 1522. The Clauses of the late Marriage Act, (5.16. 22.) relat ing to bans, containing nothing contrary to the former Act, nor substantially differing therefrom. " The names, abode, and age of the parties are required to be stated in aSidavit, and the names and abode are to lie 'Said to the church door, aid remain there during the three Sundays on which the bans shall be published ; that is, in (attire eases (es I understand it), before legally existing, which are not annulled by any terms in the Act, uor by necessary inplication therefrom. The 19th Clause declares, that after the sclemeixation of any marriage under a publication by bans, such marriage shall not be avoided for want of, or by reason of any defect in, any such affidavit, or on /marlin of ttie true name or names of either party, not being used iu the publication of such bens as afore said.' There ran be nullity or invalidity, therefore, arising out of the forms introduced in the above Clauses. " Considering that those Clauses are to be con treed, in con. junction with the former act, beneficially for the furtheranne of marriage, and so as not to interrupt the ordinary means of con tracting lawful marriage, 1 am of opinion that bans published under the former act before the bat of September will ensure and be valid, solely, if completed, or as the cue may be, in conjunction with bans duly publ shed after that day, under the provincial of the late act ; and that the minister suleniniarug marriage thereon, will be io the legal exercise of his duty.
