James Borrows, Esq. appeared in Court, supported by Mr. Attorney General sill the one +itle, and .qr. 7bppin sin the other, with a number of other Gentlemen of the Bar. He then took the oaths as a Serieant at Law, after which he presented the Lortl Chancellor tt ith gold rings f.ir httr Majesty ! the motto was Let ihect emendcx. He was afterwards sworn in as one of Cie Justices of the Conunun Pleas, and took his scat ou the CONTEMPT OF COURT. Mr. Girdlestone moved, that Mr. George Newnham, who had been brought up by Habeas Corpus from the King's Beuch, might he committed 2• the Fleet prison, for his contempt, in refusing to lint in his answer to a bill tiled against him. Mi. Newithaun, addressing himself to the Lord Chancellor. said, it was utterly impossible for him to answer to the volu minous matters which tad been introduced into the bill. The injury he had sustained in his health and fortune renliered him incapable of the exertions which were required to put in his answer. He trusted his Lordship would not commit hint to Vie Fleet. He already had the• mislbrtune to be a prisoner in the King's Bench- He grieved it should eVell have been insi nuated he was .capable of any contempt towards the Court in which his Lordship presided. He had no desire to oppose the I int and regular course of law. If his Lordship would direct him how to act, he should deem this the happiest moment of his life. Mr. Girdlestone observed, that all that was wanted was the defendant's answer. He had already had nine months to prepaee.mL Lord Chancellor.—l cannot, Mr. Newnham, relieve you, tin. the law of the country is, that y must answer. I cannot help you more than I could help myself in the same situation. 1 have no option—if an appearance or answer is not put in, I am bound by my oath to commit the party in contempt. Mr. Newnham hoped his Lordship would remand him to the King's Bench, and not send hint to the Fleet prison. Lord Chancellor.—l have no power to commit any one to the King's Bench. You must be committed to the prison of the Court. The defendant was accordingly committed to the Fleet .

She had emitrived to a mile the search that was madd for her a considerable time, a police officer who had been sent in pllrsuit of her, at last found her place of residence, and eenvey ed her in custody :a M.!uchester. Mr. Allen, the Lord Chancellor's tipstati is gone to Manclies— ter, to bring her op to London. The Lord Chancellor said, he was sorry to see the. cases for judgment accumulating se fast. They had amassed 'to such . a.flegree, that he was of opinion he would not be able to do the sinters justice, if he was Au decide them in one day; he would therefore divide them, and give judgment in half on Tuesday- 7 - the remainder he would dispose of on Thursday.

SURREY SESSIONS, REIGATE. T. Daley, Esq. was indicted for assanlting J. Relf, on the , 22(1 of July, near Farnham. The prosecutor deposed. that he had lived seri ant to the defendant. In the month of May pre ceding, lie had told the defendant that he would not remain in his service. At this lie expressed 1111101 staprere, and refused to accept the warning. The ivitness, however, persevering, the defendant swore he would kill him. Witness, notwith standing, did soon after quit his service; and upon his return ing huule through part of the laud of the defendant, (a thoroughfare) on the night of the day stated is the indictment, and after passing. his lonise about a quart r of a mile, he w as pursued by Mr. I)., eho having adianced salute charge against him, respecting ducks in his poud, prescuted a pistol to his face, the muzzle of which he pressed against - his check for some time. Witness called ont for "mercy and help," and solemnly protested his teener. A female, who had pre viously been with him, now approached, and the defendant withdrew his pistol. Before lie departed, however, witness told him he should " hear more of it" the next day. Mr. Nolan eross.examined the roteentor, but nothing ma terial fur the defendant was elicited. . .-.— Ann Cranstone, who was with the former witness at the time, confirmed his testimony. ' Mr. Nolan then contended, that it ors in precervatien of his property, that the defendant had acted iodic , manner described. A man being perceived at so uurea►onable an hour upon his grousd, would naturally excite suspicion; and the act was one, more for the purpose of intimidating, than of committing the least pos,ible irkinry.—Tlic Chairman having summed tip the evidence, the defendant was immediately tuned The Chairmaa, after animadvistipst in sec me- terms on the conduct of the defi•ntlant, senteitccdiiim to pay a tine of 40s. and to give two securities in 1001. etch to keep the peace. A Moosmn.—On Sunday evening fat nine o'clock, as Miss Caroline Crane, a lady residing in Greek-street. Soho, was-returning home from a walk, she received a stab with sonic sharp instrument from a nun, who passed her without speaking to her. The instrument entered above the knee ' and laid open her thigh as far as the hip, and the assassin immediately ran off. Surgeon Bell, of Dean-street, being sent for, dressed the wound ; and it was his opinion, that It would have been mortal, hut that the length of the bones of .her stays pro:Tilted the in str 1111 l ent from entering the abdomen.. We are happy to learn that she is out of danger. From the slight .view she had of the villain, she thinks him to he a shin youth of about 0 years of age. A few days since, Mr. Thomas FAchanan, Precentor to the College Chapel, Glasgow, was found killed in the Close in which he lived in the Saltmarket.
