On Saturday the ease was stain heard, when his Honour dissolved the injunction, leaving the noble author of Dos J etas. first to his common-law remedy, by an action against Duettele, and afterwards, should it appear that a court of common law had sustained Lord Hyran's claims to repara tion by giving damages, the application for an injunction might he snecessfully renewed. The Court would in the mean time direct that Mr.Dugdale should keep a particular account of the sale. COUVRO THEATRE—GLASS CURTAIN. ST. JOHN V. CILOaSOP AND ANZINSTA In th?a cause an injunction had been obtained by the plaintiff, lien. St. John, an annuity creditor oa the theatre, to restrain the defendants, one of whom is the proprietor. and the other the trustee of another annuity creditor, from disposing of the celebrated glass curtain. Mr..lVe w ertzt-n showed eanse against the injunction.— ] n the month of February, IS2I, the theatre, with all its scenery, machinery, and *de..orations, were mortgaged to General St. John. to secure the vayment of an annuity of 5001. a year: and in the year 1322, another annuity of Alf. a year was granted to a person of the name of Jickson, on the same security; and in the month of February last the m a nagement of the theatre was assigned over to the de fend. ant, Arkenstall, who was a trustee to the annuity deed to Jackson -; and who, in the course of management, and, for tl-e advantage of the theatre, found it necessary to remove the glass curtain, which, however, was not in the theatre when this annuity was granted to Veneral St. John, not being brought iti till the month of November, that year. Mr. Lev Arr. in snpport of the injunction, said that not only the theatre, but all its decorations, were included in the seeur:ty granted to Orem! St. John. The glass cur . tain was one of its most valuable decorations, having cost 2,0001.; and if that were to he taken away, by what rule was any part of the property to be preserved? The Vice-Cif ANCELLOR said,when the annuity was pant ed to Gen. St. - John, and the management retained by the proprietor, it was evidently intended - that he 'should have the power to change the scenery, dresses, and decorations, as the taste of the public or pieces represented at the Thea tre might require : and it would be sufficient to jus ify the removal of the Iglus curtain, to show that it was done in a prudent ronrse of inallairennent. Mr. WAN MIMI: said it was in evidence that an arcbitett had reported. that if the cnrain were continued in the state it wits a week longer, it would endanger the lives both of the actors and audience, as the machinery by which it was supeorted was eorn out. The Viee-CitaNCEbboß said, altisonich Oeneral St. John tail a security on the 'scenery and decorations of the Theatre, yet it was obvious they moat be the subject of great change. The Court wonlil not permit any destructiun of the pro perty that formed the plaintiff's security, but that alteration to it• which was necessary for the purpose of prudent ma. ragement must be allowed ; end as it appeared that the re moval of the certain was done in a course of prudent ma ratgeteriit, the injunction nivat.be dissolved. : LEEDS. 1101t01.7611 "SESSIONS, Acct. I. Mr. Samuel Procter, machine-ussker. of this town, was indicted for assaulting Mary Ilastbwaitr, the wife of Lieorge Husthwaite. Mr. BLACIiiBURN, in opening the case, said the circum stances went:of a more errione nature than onlinsrily occur, fur the prisoner et the !vie had made ace of hit character, as master of the husband, to attempt the virtue of his wife.

On the 2511; of July last, he was sent to the liomme of Correction. A 4 soon as she heard of it, her fa ttier went with h.q. to Procter's house, and witness asked Procter what she was to do, as he bail pent her husband to prison ; she toll him she had three children and asked Mtn to look over it that once. He said he would not. Het father begged of him sil the afternoon. In conseqmfence of what her father timid her, she and , her sister went about S o'clock to the Milt-mill public-house. Procter came about a quarter of an hour afterwards. and they remainmmd there about two hones. She again asked t • to write her note to liberate her Irmisitind, w h in lie trestle several slid. fling excuses, but said lie coal I do it if lie tbniteht proper. He said she had no occasion to feet, • she should never be in want of money in his absence. She then went to her f ether's, where she hal left her chil leen, and front thence with her mother and sister to her own hotter. Procter sent for her that might, at near' 12 o'clock, to Mrs. Butler's, her Imusbend's sister. Win Tate came for her, ;tad else wrokwith hho. Procter was in Mrs. Butler's house. 1k asked her how she wrs. Witness said she did nut know how ski au% she was almost out of her uminml— he had sent her husband away, and sits. did not know whisito da.

Procter noway over Camp-field. Wm. Tate corroborated the testimony of Mary Huth wake as to what passed at (tatter's, meeting Proctor in the doorway, and his running over lamp-field. He said when he got tato the house, he bind Mary gathering her petti coats up ; they were torn nearly off; she bad a child in her arms, and she was almost heart-broken. He never saw a woman in such a state in his life. Mr. Mamie, in addressing the Jury on the part of the w defendant, said it as quite improbable that the woman could go to her own house, where she knew she had not a light. expecting that Procter was to do that there which he bad before distinctly stated he could not do, in conse quence of having been thrown from his horse, and his band being hart. The RaCORDIII the* summed up the evidence. and the Jury, after retiring a short time, found the defendant— Why. The Magistrates, knoiving that he was able to pay the prosecutrix a compensation in money, recommended her to settle the matter is that way, which she at Mist refused to do, saying she did not come there for the purpose of receiv ing mosey; but, after a further recommendation, she con sented leaving it to the bench to fix the sum. They there fore thought be should pay her 101., and sign a comet to the Magistrates for the liberation of her husband forth with. On these conditions the Court would overlook the matter; otherwise they would have felt it their duty to have committed him to York Carrie for a stated period: , POLICE. ~~ Row-wr.=Saturcley, G. Mimi-4 *as charged with having robbed Mr. W. Mattocks, of Wellington-street, Strand, of his pocket-book, containing bills of exchange amounting to Up= wards of 2091. The prisoner Was apprehended on Thursday night under the following circumstances:—Lack, ono of the patrol belonging to this °Mee, went into the pit passage at the English Opera House, in search of some persons who had robbed an old countryman of forty .sovereigns t and whilst looking about for the parties, he observed the prisoner Ed= wards pushing about among the crowd at the pay-place. do searching him he found a red morocco pooket-book concealed in tne crown of his hat, and Lack asked him what It contained, to which the prisoner replied, 'Look and see.' Lack opened it, and finding in it a number of bills of exchange. of which the prisoner lied evidently no knowledge. he lodged him lu Covent-garden watch-house, on suspicion of his having stolen it. On the following morning (Friday) he was brotight before the Magistrate. when he said the pocket-book was given to its, and be diet not know what it contained. Under these Cir. eamatanees he was committed to prison until the owner of the property could be found. On Saturday he was again brought up. when Mr. Mattocks, a respestable tradesman in Wellington-street, cline forward and claimed the book and its Contents as his property. It ap peared by the evidence of Mr. Mattocks that he took his sou and daughter to the English Opera on Thursday night, intend ing to go into the pit. Ile previously put all the money out of his pockets except ten shillings, with which to pay for their admission, and the book now produced lie placed iti an inside pocket, not doubting but it would be perfectly safe. lie was mistaken, however, for before he could get up to the pay plaice, he missed his pocket book, and, upon examination, lie found that the skirt of his cost had been lifted up, sod the bot tom of the inside pocket cut canpietely open. Nor was this all ; for, on putting his hand into his breeches pocket, he found It empty—his 10s. were gone, as well as his pocket-book ; and he and hie family were obliged to return home for want of fends to gain admission to the Theatre. Ile perfectly recol lected having been rudely pushed against by some man with out any apparent motive, and he was firmly couvinced the pri , wiser wee that man. Saunders, another of the patrol, volunteered to give the prl. looser *character, and pronounced him to be the leader of the .Rose and Crown gong in ilunhill-row. Prisoner; in return, told Saunders he was a scoundrel; and having nothing further to say, he was fully committed to New gate for trial. • BURGLART AT LAMBETH PALACE.—UNION MALL."Mr. ALLEN, the magistrate of this oifice, proceeded on Saturday morning in person, accompanied by Mr. Staples, the clerk, and Ulannon and till, the officers, to investigate more mi nutely the circumstances attending the robbery in Lambeth Palace. The course of the robbers was distinctly traced, and the various acts of destructibn which they had commit. ted in their pursuit of plunder carefully examined. All led to the conclusion—first, that the parties engaged ware in ticiatel!.• acquainted with the premises; and next, that their object was the attainment of a large and valuable booty, fur all trilling articles of ornament and utility were treated with indifference, and lay strewed about the floors as not worth notice. Mrs. Sutton, to whom notice of the. occurrence had been sent to her house at Iladtfington, arrived at the Palace, on Friday afternoon, and after a careful review of the property, was of opinion that nothing had been remos ed of any great value ; indeed, it was supposed that site loss, independent of the injury done to the various depositories which the thieves had forced and destroyed, did not exceed five ponads. It is a singular but . fortunate circumstanca that the only two presses which contained any thing of importance, at least in the estimate of such persons as were engaged in the robbery, escaped attack. tine of these contained a quantity of rich old family plate, and the other the dress worn by the Arelibishop•of Canterbury at the late Coronation of his Majesty, as well as, several Court dreaes belonging to the female branches of the. family. The dress of the Arch bishop was very expensively decorated, although possess ing, perhaps, more, of imaginary than intrinsic value.— Nothing transp i r ed in the cour s e of the intiuiry which af forded the slightest Clue to the Offenders; but it ii andel paled that the vigilance and experience of the officers will ultimately lead to detection. Mrs. Sutton retooled ,• to • Haddington on Friday evening. • Several enquiries have been made at the Palace by per sons of tank, and the neighbourhood still continues in a state of agitation. • MARLBOROUGH STREET. SATURDAY.—A young female. with bore the appearance of having once moved in a respect able sphere, but possessing all the appearances of consuasp •tion, nag charged with being disorderly, by a watchman. The charge was merely of the common kind, and from humane considerations the watchman withdrew it. Mr. DYER (the Magistrate,) asked tiM poor creature to give some account of herself. She with tears sheathing down her face, and with an ut terance choked with emotion said, she was of a highly re spectable family in Hampshire, and was named Llolid, she had unfortunately once erred and had lust her character, and—Here she burst into an agony of grief, and s. as unable to complete the sentence ; but on he log more colupoised, she seemed in her imagination to hur ry over some horrible recollection, and proceeded directiv to the charge against her, " tie Ft inlay night" said she, " I met a friend, whom I had not seen for some time, and being extremely weak front the extreme of illness, I diank three glasses of wine and a Ideas of brandy, which took sue I an :effect on me that it led me into some excesses." The MAGISTRATE—YOH should have guarded against Etch intemperance—where did you sleep on Thursday? Here -again the female seemed overtrhelmed pith emotion, anti she could only ariieutate Hag g ask me," At length rwo.N. the Chief Officer; went to her, and shit. with cons als:ve sobs, acknowledged to hI that she had Voatelltted' &theft In stealing gloves , sad beteg prosecuted, site was con coed la the sepsdehre Odle littler. celled the Penitentiary, for femme,. and was only discharged on Friday, The Magistrate asked bee lied she not settled open Goose lire of 04(1114. and *het flews had she? ' The poor woman is a melancholy tone replied none bat death, ray coseltutlon and frame have bees Irrecoverably In lowed by my contused conflaemeet is solitary dungeons, sod View not what to do. The Magistrate regretted her deplorable condition, more particularly as she getented aeately to feel hersltuation, he did not know what to do with her. She evidently misunderstanding what be said, exclaimed in an agony of grief :—" Oh do not send me there again, 1 would either die than endure so touch horrible confinement again." The Magistrate explained that he was not going to send her there, and on discharging ber t advised her to return to her friends. She replied if her strength would gamble her so to do, she would, and retired from the office; some humane individuals gave her some money. An old miserable looking woman, named Rebecca Devi*. was broughti from Bt. 011es's valet-boast, charged with hav ing some valuable trinkets and silver spooas. valued twenty guineas, in bee possession, the property of Messrs, Jule, Manuel, and Son. Bevis Maths, jewellers. It appeared the old woman. on Friday night, was observed by several per sons offering handsome steal bracelets and a massive gold lady's chain for sale, at terms extremely moderate, so meets so, as indeed to excite suspicion ; the gold chain, weighing three ounces, she offered to dispose of for as many shillings ; and a silver tea spoon was offered for one shilling and six vitt At length she was observed by Green and Bartlett, s, who watched her movements, and , perceived bur enter a pawnbroker's shop, where, on offenng several or tides, she was detained, and then given into custody; and on being asked to account for the possession of such va luable articles. she gave a number of confused and We* hermit statements. 0 bring searched. a bag was found under her arm containing some got I brooches, six silver spoons, several steel clasps, and other ladies' ornaments, all fastened to cords, by which it was discovered the pro perty belonged to Messrs. Manuel, and who were applied to; consequently Mr. Manuel, jun. attended, and said, their porter was daily sent out with a bag full of a variety of jew ellery and plate to their respective customers. Unions needy, about four o'clock on Friday afternoon, he lost, in Drury Lane, a small bag containing spoons, gold chains, and seals, clasps, hrooche., and other trinkets, altogether valued at 20 or JO guineas, and the old woman had, it seems, unfortunately found the parcel, and proceeded di rectly to sell the articles, without taking the trouble of en quiring to whom they belonged. the old Dame ac knowledged to be true, but refused to say where she had sold some part of the property. She was remanded. LalusitTli STREl7.—Saturday, Elisabeth Britton, a girl, apparently not more than 16, was put to the bar, before M. Wyerr, E.q . the Sitting Magistrate, - charged by a Mr. Clarke, on suspicion of having robbed him of 1101. ander the following circumstances: * 'l'he prosecutor, a carpenter, in Devunaliire Street, Mile End (Nil Town, deposed that on Friday evening last, about six o'clock, he and his wife left home to go to Bow ; the prisoner; who was his servant, was left in the care of the how, and was cautioned not to go out on any account Th e y came home about eight o'clock, until they ridurned. when one of the ground floor windows was found partly open; the prisoner was out at the time, but just came up as witness was opening the door, anal accounted for her absence in saying she had been to Mrs. Batley's, in Ann Street, to fetch a clean cap. Suspecting from the agitation she be trayed that something was lie instantly proceeded up stairs. and on entering- his bed room, discovered that ache , ' in which he usually kept his money wis broke open, and lie missed one hundred sovereigns anal a 101. Bask of England note ; there were seven sovereigns which were rolled op in 7 piece of paper in a corner of the chest kit behind. It was very evident that the cheat was broken open by means of a plou2lt iron, au iron poker, and a roll. ' ing pin. The two latter instruments were found near , 1 th e c h e at, ;ma a part of the former was found broken in the lid. Mrs. Clarke, on leaving home, wished the prisoner won Id accompany her to carry the child, to whim' she at first consented ; but again - declined, and seemed pal titularly desirous of staying at home, which she was unfortunately allowed to do. _ _ _ _ _ _ ' Christian, the constable who took the prisoner into custody, was of opinion that the robbery was not commit ted by any experienced thief. The prisoner denied all knowledge of tha robbery, and said that previous to her going out she opened the win dow a little, that she might get in at it again, as her mas ter had taken away the key of the door, and left her lock ed up.—She was remanded. EXECUTION OF IVALDONALLAN FORDROWNING • • HiS WIFE. • Win. Donallan was executed at Maidstone. on Friday. pursuant to his sentence, for the wilful murder of Bridge• Donallan, his wife, at Chatham, in the year ISIS, by drown ing her in a well. During the short interval between con_ viction and execution, the wretched culprit betook himself to earnest prayer and repentance. Being of the Roman Catholic persuasion, a priest of that religion very humanely attended him in his devotions. At his trial, and even after the verdict,the wretched man solemnly declared that he was innocent of the murder; but on returning to prison his tone and manner became altered, though nothing escaped him indicating a disposition to confess the atrocious crime. At eleven o'clock the melancholy procession left the gaol ter the place of execution on Pennenden Heath, where it ar rived in about half an hour. The culprit was accompanied in the waggon by the Catholic clergyman and the gaol assistants. In his passage to the Heath he employed him• self in earnest applications to Heaven for mercy, and his prayers were distinctly audible. On arriving at the drop be remained a considerable time in devotion. Up to this moment he bad made no confession, and it was supposed that he would leave the world with protestations of inno cence; but on ascending the scalTold,he addressed the crowd for several niinutea, io a distinct and firm voice, declaring, - the justice of his aertence, and the tsteritki punishment which awaited his crime. So heartily resigned was he to his fate, and so little inclined to life, that if even at that awful moment his sentence were remitted, he would reject a boon, which would only prolong the miseries of his guilty conscience. The dreadful crime for which he was to suffer; was committed io a moment of passion, and without any premeditation, but he was no less sensible of the justice of his fate. He heartily forgave his prosecutors, but declared that one of the female witnesses who appeared against bins had not adhered to the truth in her testimony. Finally, he urged the spectators to take warning from his -dreadful ex ample, which was the consequence of giving way to passion, and *total disregard of religious admonitions. .As soon as he had conclude a short prayer, the platform gave way and he was launched into eternity. After hanging the usual time, the body was taken down, and delivered over to the surgeons to be dissected and anatomised. During the aw fid ceremony, it was raining incessantly, and, in consequence of the unfavourable state of the wegther, there was a very inconsiderable attendance of spectators, but of these the wo men formed a large proportion. bilal'EST.—On Saturday 'ilea an Inquest was held at the Duke of Portland's house, No, 11, St. James's square, before Air.

The deceased bad been previously lea good state of health, and bad kern a most excellent character.
