Earl's servants, came to the prison. The ob kit of the noble &sells visit was described as being curious. —Some time ago' be 'reileived an anonymous letter in Lon dou, kern . a person (supposed to he a lady), solicited an interview, in a parotrilar part of the town, where he was desired tote In attendance In his coscb. The Earl of Essex supposing the intimation to be a hoax, instead of obeying the message himself, sent his footman in the coach, when instead of finding a f-mate as was surmised, two men came elf, looked into the vehicle; and went away, not finding the owner of the carriage. Some idea was entertained that this (mix had a morciorfons object, and that the parties who were supposed to bate played it off, were connected milli rhurtell and his companions. On the oonle Ear! cntning the little yard in whCch Thertell was.walking, the prisoner received him with sullin astonishment. The parties looked•st him, and one of the Magistrates touched his hat, as a common mark of politeness. Tburtell returned the civility, and the patties retired. It is understood tins the fontmlin declared .him not to be one of the men who had looked into the carriage- The nuble Earl did not visit the otfier prisoners, but immediately depleted from the prison. Wr:Fenton afterwards again visited Martell and remained with him fur some time. Tee nigh Sheriff (ft. Sutton , Esq.) visited the gaol in the course of the day, and expressed a wish that the prisoners shoed have every necessary accommodation ; and it is re ' ported that both Probert and Hunt, although not provided with funds, areto have whatever is essential to their comfort, !sates. . of the ordinary gaol allowance. li Is also said, that the Rev. Mr. Lloyd has undertaken that the expenses of Root's defence shall be defrayed by himself, if no other person can be found to furnish the weans. baring the week and in the course of the day, several of tie Magistrates hive visited the gaol, notwithstanding the ton'asof the order to which so much allusion has been made. it is now believed the trial will actually come on at the ap proaching Assizes. The bill of indictment will be submitted to the Grand Jury on the Grat day, and if it be found a true bill, the trial, unless postponed by the Court, will commence next- meriting. The demand for accommodation in the town Is beyond all firmer precedent. The sum of five guineas for a bed room and sitting room for three days, bas been offered and refused. 'COURT OF KINU'S IIgNCH, WUTYINSTIR, Nov. 2?. --.40.P-- . • Till KING V. aNTUONV COLLINS. Sc.taturr resumed his argument, adjourned from Wednesday, on the important question raisedin this ease — whether overseers are justified in affording relief to the able bodied poor in money ? He took a view of the statutes which Lad passed subsequently to the aet of Elizabeth, and coriteoded that they all showed tile design of the Legisla ture. to be, ih'at the only relief to be dispensed to the poor wham, able to. work should be by the provision of JaSinir. Mr. Esau followed on the same side. Mr. Coorse;in reply, observed that the case did not 'state flint the overseers bad not attempted to obtain work for the paupers previously to affording them relief ; and that if any doubt existed as to the fact, the case should be seut back to the sessions. It cool,' not be insisted that the overseers were bouod to find productive labour. Mr. Justice cannot call that labour totally utlftroductive which prevents a man able to work from being adie. Mr. Justice BATLIIT.—In the parish where. I live, an overseer found a hundred applications a day for relief I. be set the applicants to pound oyster shells, and soon tidied their number. 'the Loup Cuter Juirricz suggested, that in many parts et the country the poor might be beneficially employed in keeping the hedges clear of weeds—a practice which it was will known tendedto prevent weeds from sprining up amgug the corn. 4fuT some further discussion respecting the allegations is the case, it was agreedithat it should be sent back to be restated, so as to contain an account of the endeavours, if apy, wade by the overseers to provide work for the poor. Mr. Justice Batt.se expressed his hope that this discus. situ; would rouse overseers to exert themselves io this importapt put of their duty ; and meet at least once a month for tit° purpose. according to the wholesome provi. sion, of the statute of Elizabeth, which, be feared, was too touch neglected. 'Act earl being thus disposed of for the present, The laonrsEattiJulyrice said, I wish that the Court was not be tuisnorterstool io respect to any . thing which lias,passed in this discussion. As this case is a most im portant one, and will probably agitate the public mind, and as t 110.11 observed that the pioceedings of this Court are often ;greatly misstated by those wh 3 report them for the instruction of the public. I wish it to be most dis tinctly understood that this Court has given no opinion that &Mk bodied men, wilUp to work, bat not able to procure it, ire. net entitled to relief. All the Court sap, is this— thatit iit the imperative duty of overseers and chnrchwar- dena.to use all their endeavours to procure employment for tho Poor; and this, principally, for the sake of the poor , thetoselves, to whom it is of the highest importance that they 'lquid receive money for labour, and not for idle nese. Let the ca go back again, then, to the sessions, and let the) se justices inform ns whit endeavours they hue made', to obtain work for the poor. Mr. Justice Best.—l beg toad." out of the parish as Well se in it." The LORD 0111E4 JWITICI. — What attempts. they hue enealein any place. It may be that they have done nothing; bet, like too many.others. have sat down in despair, instead of traipse their shoulders - to the wheel, and trying what aniglikhe effected. Mr. 4 0 4tice Bart i er.—There are many ways in which the poor may be profitobly employed, as levelling hills and ha proxiog roads. Mere the subject was dropped. . -4. ma...- f !

V to Ira s~r ~? succession the charges coOtained in the several articles of the libel. \ The fifth ertielewas that on which the *bob of the rest must stand ; if that did not avail the party pro 4snmet, none of the ethers would. It alleged that on s slay happening in the month of December; 181.9, when Lady Helen Mersa was seven months advaused in her preg Duey (with her first child), Sir Gregory Osborne Page Turner rose from his pest suddenly, in a violent passion, dad struck Isis wife, the said Lady Turner, with eon-. .siderable violence about the bead, face and neck. Now, if this charge was' true—or assuming it to be so, for the purpose of debating it—here was certainly a very unjustifiable act, as almost all acts done In a passion wet.. But it would not seem to barr.been attended with any evil consequences. It watt a perfectly solitary act; and the parties lived together nearly three years after the transaction; but nothing of the kind was stated to have taken place afterwards. Lady Turner herself proved to he pregnant several times subsequently; as, indeed, was mentioned in the plea. The blow itself was not even doted to have been struck with a clenched fist; no extreme violence was imputed, and no indication of it remained upon her free or person, as was frequently pleaded in such cases. From the subsequent cohabitation, and the other circumstances to which lie bad adverted, the Court could not suppose that this incident, therefore, unjustifi tble as it might be, amounted to cruelty. In these matters, 44 con donation" was meter lightly or rashly to be supposed as against the. wife; but such an imputation would always apply, on the contrary, with much more strictneis to the husband: yet it could never be permitted that a lady should cherish any alleged violence of this kind for about three years, in order to be then brought to market on the first favourable opportunity, as against her husband. The separation, in the present case, corned oat to be entirely unconnected with this allegation of cruelty, and was on her part quite voluntary; therefore, however little the act might be to be justified, the separation was not to be attri buted to that io any way. The learned counsel proceeded to object to this libel in lobo, but be had many observations to make on it; and on the 6th article he would observe,' that it was vita irrelevant; for the qeestion before the Court was, as to whether Sir G. P. Turner had been guilty of cruelty to his wife, and not to his wife's mother. The 6th article pleaded that be had left his wife without the .necessary funds for defraying house-keeping expenses, &C.,' and that one evening in January, 1820, her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Gertrude Hayfield, earnestly requested that lie would supply Lady Turner with some money. Now the Court would observe in all the subsequent articles, that this was the graranzen of Lady Turuer's complaint. It was quite evident throughout. that the dispute was about money, and that the mother had been in this way repeatedly ioterferiog on the subject. Here was a lady residing with her husband, a person of fortune and condi tion, in his town house; and though it could not be denied that it was quite necessary to provide for the expenses of that louse, and that to neglect tt was most indiscreet and careless, nothing was said of the lady's inability to provide whatever she wanted on his credit. Hut the subject matter of her whole complaint seemed to be, that thedisbursement of monieswas not intrusted to her. The 7th arid. was more distinct and important. It related tothe appointment by Sir Gregory Page Turner, of one Kirby to be his agent; to the visit paid by Sir Gregory and his Lady to Worthieg ; and to the fact of Lady Turner's being there left with her family without any pecuniary supply whatever: Hen neither this circumstance, nor the execution subsequently put into the house by creditors, proved against the kill band more than extreme carelessness; they by no means I amounted to cruelty. As to the statement in the Bth article, that although this lady condouted her house affairs with the utmost prudence and economy, yet Sir 'Gregory took the whole management of them out of her bands, leaving her no money whatever ; why, the husband most always be the best if not the 'oily, judge upon that question of pendent man agement. This matter was quite Irrelevant. It was further pleaded, that while she was thus! deprived, Sir Gregory continued to purchase antiques, pictures, and other costly articles of that kind, to gratify his own taste and inclinations. Why, by law, the husband had the power of the purse; if lie choose to gratify his taste in this way, his large fortune and his station surely gave him an ample title to do so; and if be preferred, instead of paying his bills, to go upon credit with his tradesmen, there could be no n,eessity for those disbursements. It was charged, moreover, that one evening in January, 1821, shortly after Sir Gregory bad purchased a large quantity of play bills at the sale of the late John Philip Kends's's effects, for which he bad paid a large sum of money, Mrs Hayfield, Lady Turner's mother, spoke of it to him in the mildest manner, regretting his having paid so large a mimed money for such 's purpose, at a time when be had advanced so little to his lady for matters of indispensable necessity in his family. Here the Court would observe the extreme indis cretion of such language in the mother of Lady Turner; for what didithis attack on Sir Gregory, described, indeed, as a remonstrance, but in the mildest manner, amount to? Why, it was a remonstrance, not so much about what Sir* Gregory did not do in the house, as about what he bad thought proper to do out of it. In consequence of these observations pf Mrs. Hayfield, Sir Gregory (the plea added) violently pushed her backward ; and of such an act he (Dr. Adams) would only say, it conld not be shown to be cruelty to the daughter. 'The learned counsel having discussed the remaining articles of this libel, arid " 1 object, Sir, to this plea in lobo, on account of its general insufficiency, and the irrelevancy of most of the matters pleaded ; not doubting, however, at all, that Sir Gregory Page Turner can answer to any pars of them most satisfactorily, if he should be placed by the Court under the necessity of answering them; but that is a necessity which 1 thick the Court will not put him under, unless it should consider that the articles charge against him each facts es, if proved, would amount to a case of cruelty. I submit that they do not, and that this allegation. ought to be rejected." Dr. Puttnistoaz -followed on the same side. Dr. LUSIHNOTON conteuded,thst the articles were all relevant to the case set apt and on that one which eilarged that Step gory on one oceans" struck his lady several blows on this and neck, he observed, " thet this was an offence which ad. Mitt ed of no palliation." It was pleaded, that not only had be forgotten oo this occasion the duties of his rank, his cha racter, and his station, but he had so far forgotten his character as a man, that he would condescend, when his wife was seven mouths advanced in pregnancy, to strike her. The learned counsel, together with Dr. DODSON, warmly ar ped that the libel ought to be admitted. Sir Joon 'Sinnott. was on the point of giving judgment, when, observing the counsel and proctors on both sides con ferring together, he said he would postpone the decision of the question (the admission of the libel) till the next court day, being most anxious that every facility should be given to the making of some wadeable arrangement of the matter Gut of court. - Dr. ADAMS was sure the Court would give counsel on both sides credit, and equal credit, for the same a ish amicably to arrauge this unfortunate matter ; bat he confessed his own hopes were not very sanguine. The sentence was postponed accordingly, as to the admis sion of the 'Joel. • „ .

The Sheriffs ismted a considerible number of oilier, for admission to persons desirous to witness the solemn service, and long before the commencement, the entrances thin the prison were ehoked with earnest expactants of gaining adinissioa, consequently the capacious Chapel was crowded to excess, and many from 'necessity excluded. The Her. Ordinary (Mr. Cotton) read the 'formula Sif . the Church in an impressive mann e r , la y in g g r e at strait on those sentences which were applicable to the Weal, occasion, both as respected the spectators, and more par 7 l Ocularly the uuhapuy objects of his charge. This closed.' the Rev. Gentleman proceeded to address himself tl the , auditory, and founded the motto of his discourse of tint lase words of the penitent sinner, " Lord, .remember Luke xxiii. verse 42. From these appropriate words, the Rev. Clergyniza ' pointed out the conduct of the dying applicant for mercy ; and, secondly, the gracious assurance of the Itedtner, who was shedding his blood for the sins of men•e—" this day thou shalt be with me in Paradise." He also dilated on the conduct of the obdurate thief connected with that solemn historical event—" He saved others, Himself 6e cannot save." The deductions and observations which would aria from those propositions cannot be mistaken, but even in that event, it is impossible to give even an epitome of the discourse on which they were founded. After the Rev. Divine had marked out the dis:inction between a repentance arising from a dread of punishment, and a filial cootritionl on account of having Wien led a kind benefactor by in— fringing on the mandates which were formed fur the. reciprocal observance between man and man, he lamented that it became his duty to allude to the particular offences for which the unhappy objects before him bad shortly I, answer with their lives. Alluding to Hogan ant Scott, one had committed eke. 1 lance at the shrine of friendship. mud the other had, in a wanton manner, attacked the wife of his bosom ; whom, , by the mandate of Heaven, be was informed he was hound I to protect, and but for merciful interposition, the wound* be inflicted were not mortal. At this address, Scott was much affected, but Hogan seemed wholly indifferent to what passed, such is the dreadful effect 'of ignorance. The allusive remarks made to the other men, were equally pertinent, and the conduct of Smith and Crisp, evinced that they were fully conscious of their perilous situation. In observing on the cases of Hogan and Scott, the Rev. Ordinary, in order to impress them with the enormity of their effeners as connected with a recent event, to show the necessity that such attacks should be visited with candike punishment; while these observations were made, Mr. Thos. Thurtell appeared evidently affected ; but his tie- pertinent throughout, was composed and devout. The service ended, Smith, who is a most intelligeoi young titan, went to tile extremity of the condemned pew, and bade farewell to some of his late companions nude, the same awful sentence, which produced en effect diifiealt to he described. . The Chapel, as already remarked, was crowded to excels. POI., C. . Bow STRIUT.--OBSTRUCTING TEN PATROL:Mr: Do err, a respectable tradesman, residing in Old Round Court Strand, was brought before Mr. MINUIULL. by J. Davi and Wootton, of the Day Patrol, and charged be them with having obstructed and assaulted them in the execution of .their duty.---Mr. Dover is an elderly gnu, and be was ex erosive)) , agitated at being placed at the bar. He exclaimed against it violently. It appeared by the statement of Davis and Wootten, that at three o'clock, Saturday afternoon, they saw two reputed thieves lurking about the Strand, and having watched them into Holywell Street, they slightly searched their pockets, and told them not to come there again, or they would get 1 another three months at the treadmill. Just at this moment Mr. Dover came up; he had been at Newgate market to purchase a turkey, which he was now carrying home in a small rush basket ; and hearing what the patrol said to the thieves. he exclaimed, " You sconndrels, it would be well if you yourselves were to have six months at the tread mill !" The patrol asked him what business he had to interfere, and hinted that perhaps his basket ought to be searched ; Whereupon be lifted up his arm and made a blew at one of them, and then they took bins into custody, and brought him immediately before the Magistrate. It was added, that in his way to the office he endeavoured to excite the crowd to acts of violence by " political observa tions." The Magistrate asked what those political observations were, and the patrol replied, that he cried out repeatedly, "These are the scoundrels that are paid thirty shillings a week to oppress Englishmen! This is Lord Sidmouth's blessed system !" &c. The statement of the patrol was corroborated by an acquaintance of their's—a person named Wright, who described himself as a broker in Seven Dials ; and the Magistrate told Mr. Dover he was ready to hear any thing he had to say in his defence. Mr. Dover, however, was in such a passion, that he could make no connected defence. He said be was paying fifty pounds a year taxes to support these men (the patrol), and he wished to know whether or not things were come to such a pass in England,•that honest tradesmen were to be strangled by them 'in the public streets in open day? He had three votes, be said, for Members of Parliament, and he would be very cautions how he' gave his vote in future to men who would make such abominable laws. As to the charge, he denied it in tato, he 'never lifted his hand against the men, . except 'with the basket in his hand, to keep them from strangling' him. for he had no notion of being strangled in the streets on a Saturday, when he had 20 or 30 men waiting at bbase for thir wages. He denied that the of f icers bad an right to call any man a pickpocket, and threatened him w ith the tread-mill in the public streeta. He denied no' doubt that the two lads they stopped were as honest as thensselvtil, and yet they pointed them out as thieves. If they hid served him so he would have his action for the slander,' and taught them better manners.—The MantrritaTe said it was in evidence upon the oaths of three persona, thatle had obstructed the officers in the execution of their duty p for, whatever might be Mr. Dover's opinion on the subject, it was their dnty•to stop, search, and drive away reputed thieves from all public places; and he mast there fore find bail for his appearance at the Quarter Sessions to answer the indictment which would saqUestionably be preferred against him.
