Mr. Comaxv said that this was one of the most brutal assaults that ever came before him, and ordered tha T t the prisoner should be detained for reexamination on Friday, when the situation of Mr.. Frazer can be more decidedly spoken of by her physicists. Smith, James Milleanse, and John Ford, were charged with a burglary is the house of Mr. Hay, Pro p_rietor of the Hayward and Castle Tavern, Clower-place, Husteirequare, New road. It appeared that yesterday morning, about two o'clock, the house of the prosecutor was_ entered by thieves, and plundered of property to a considerable amount. When Mr. Hay discovered the robbery, he sent to the watchhouse to give information. The prisoners during the morning were apprehended for being disoiderly, and taken to St. Pancras watchhouse ; and Curzon knowing them to be suspicions characters, searched them, and found some of Mr. Hay's property, which he identified. The prisoner Smith denied the charge, and represented himself as son to the head cashier at the Bank of Ragland, bat said he did not live with his father; the money found on him had been given to him by his mother the evening before. The two other Prisoners denied the chug. also. Ford was recognised by Furreman, the Officer, as an old of fender, who bad been before in custody. They were re manded. QUEBN-ISQUARL—Vestehlay J. &towel?, J. Coady, and R. Fry, Bow-street patrol, were charged by Ellis, a super numerary watchman, whose beat is in Duke -street, West minster, with insulting him and interrupting him in the execution of his duty,at half-past 12 o'clock in the morning. There has existed a spirit ofjealotisy between this class of Trapi & the Marley*, ever since the Skinner were put upon night duty, (one of the best Police regulations that has taken place,) by which they are a check upon the conduct of each other, as the one prevents all " blood money" charges from being concocted ; and thecither the Marley, from exeozißg so long, and so frequently, as fcirmerty. About a week ago, a Bow-street patrol was fined 10s: for interrupting a watchman on his duty in Charles -street, Westminster, and watehee being then successful against the tow-street " Nose," no doubt induced the present charge, which is detailed in the following statement : The three accused were standing in Duke-street, iVest minster, at half-past twelve o'clock, conversing with a friend, when Ellis called to then' from the opposite side of the way, "to march on," they took no notice of his com mand, though delivered in the usual Marley-like authors tive strain ; he then crossed over to them, and again re peated his former order, and because they declined obeying it he sprung his rattle, and took them into custody, though they told bins that they were on duty, and belonged to the Bow-street patrol. Squires, a regolar watchman, hearing the rattle sprung, came up, and also informed Ellis, that lie was wrong in taking the men to the watch house, as they were on duty; but Ellis rerlied, he would take any persona who slid not move on when lie bid them. They then accompanied Ellis to the watchhonse, and the night con stable refused to receive the charge, till it was pressed by the patrol themselves, that their conduct might be in vestigated before a Magistrate. Mr. RAINSPORD and Mr. MARKLAND, the Sitting Magi,. traces, both reprobated the conduct of Ellis, as most impro per and unjustifiable, even supposing the accused had not been patrol. As Englishmen, they had a right, equal to that of a watchman, to walk the street at any hour, so they had no Pleg,4l or improper object in view. The Magistrates exercised the power they possess under a recent statute, and discharged Ellis from Its situation of watchman, for his improper conduct. There was a second charge made by other officers against a second watchman fur using abusive language and threat ening them; and the Magistrates, in the expectation that the example now made would have due weight, required him merely to pay for this offence, the expences of the war rant, observing that in no instance that again came before them, of such a character, would they exhibit towards the rn olfeier the slightest leniency. UNION HALL—Yesterday, a man named Orman, 'who has been for some time in the employment of Messrs. Hensley, printers, in Bolt-court, and a bookseller named Cohttacavlso resides in the 13orough,were brought before L. B. ALLEY, Esq the former charged with having committed a robbery, and the latter with having knowingly purchased the stolen property, Messrs. Hensley have been for some time engaged in printing Dr. Li n gard's History of England for Mr. Maw man, or Ludgate Hill, and were to stroke off 1,000 copies. About 400 copies had been delivered to Mr. Slasvotan,when it reached the ears of Mr. B. Ilerisley, that co,sies were to be had at Cahuac's shop at 2/. 10s. each, whereas the trad e price was no less than 31. 13s. Convinced that such a re daction in the price of the work could not have been afforded by any one who because possessed of it in the usual manner, Mr. Hensley caused an examination to be made in his pre mises with respect to that particular book, and soon learned that 10 copies were missing, and from certain circumstances, he judged that they must have been stolen by some person who had constant employment in the establishment. Bee man was, after some further investigation into the circum stance* of the robbery, taken into custody. He denied that he knew any thing about the plundered copies; but the evi dence which follows rasa produced by Mr. Hensley - to prove that he was the principal, and that Cahuac knowingly pur. chased the stol-n property. Mr. Hensley suspected that he must have been robbed to a considerable amount, but he could not at present form any estimate, his business being so extensive and diversified. Mr. Cooper, a respectable bookseller, at Whitefriars, stated, that some days ago be purcbssed at Calmar's shop in Blackman Street, six copies of Lingard's History of England, at 21. 10s. a copy, and rave to Cahuac a bill at four months for the whole of the.sum, :upon his promise that the six sets should be delivered in due time. Six copies were accordingly received by witness, but three of them were imperfect,and of course no more than three sets of them were kept. Cahuac took back the rest with a list of the deficiencies in witoess's band writing, but the deficiencies were never supplied. Mr. Mawtuan's clerk stated, that he and Mr. Hensley went to Calmac's shop, and mentioned to hisu that they understood lie bad been selling Lingard's History of Eng land considerably under the trade price. Cahuac replied that Ise had sold two copies; but on being told that his deal ing with Mr. Cooper about the six copies was no secret; be admitted that he had sold that number of copies to Mr Cooper, at the sum specified. Witness recollected that Callan had been present at Mr. Mawusan's trade sale; that he had made no purchase of Lingard's History of Eng land there: and that he •was acquainted with the trade price. Mr. Hensley caused the lodgings of Beeman to be search ed by an 'Amer, who in a short time pat his hands upon the identical list of deficiencies of the History of England, which list Mt. Cooper bad delivered to Calmar, and which it was presumed Cahuac had transmitted to Beeman, for the porpose of haring them cone, ted. Mr. Hensley stated, that in lacking over Calmac's shop, Ise fouod two Pronouncing Dictionaries, which had been printed by him, and which, be bad no doubt,. %ere stolen from his premises. Mr. ANDaaws, who attended for Cahill's', ;irked Mr. Alawmatis clerk, whether he could sd'ear that those copies which Mr. Cooper bad purchased of VaLttle, bad not been tHE STATESMAN'. purchased at Mr. Mawman's shop, oat Of the 400 copies • which hid been delivered by Mr. Beesley.—Tbe reply was in the negative. • Mr. Axnuaws then contended, thii the evidence Aid not bring hoMe the robbery to Beeman, led of course Cahuac was net chirgeable with any offence. Besides, there had been no proof of dealing between Cahoae and Beeman. Mr. At.titc adjouriied the case, which excited much in terest amongst the trade, till to-morrow (this dav) Btaamv.—Wilthotte, the wan who was remanded on the charge of marrying two wives., was brought up yesterday. It will be recollected, that his mond wile had absented herself from the first examination. The two wives were now present, and both the certificates of marriage were produced. The first wife, who had instituted the present charge against her husband, geld, that when she was married to him at Newington church,. he refused to allow her to bring friends with her to give her away, alleging that if she did, he should run the ha zard of losing his freedoda as a freeman of the Watermen's Company. The second Wife was then called upon to give evidence against the prisoner, but she refused to open her lips On the subject. The Rev. Mr. Onsiow, rector of Newington, and 'his clerk, could not speak to the prisoner's person. A women named Mahon, who was one of the Witnesses to the first mar riage, proved her hand-writing in the certificate, but she stated that She could not identify either of the parties, as in general the appearance of bride and bridegroom on nuptial occasions was so very different from that exnibited now by the prisoner and his wives. She added, that she often sets in the capacity of witness at marriages, to persons Whom she n eeeee aw before; and will never see again. Mr. Cussing*s observed, that as the prisoner's identity could not be proved by any of the persons who were present I at the first marriage, the case, of course, must fall to the ground, and the first wife must ruled the consequences of neglecting to'procure her own friends ko witness the celebra tion of her marriage. The first wife said, It was a hard else that she should be de prived of her liberty by a base villain. She asked the ma gistrate if she was still to considee herself as a married Woman. Magistrate—" Why, do you wish to try nsatriesony again?" First Wife—" Oh no, not yet; but I don't know how soon I may be inclined to change my condition. however, your Worship, I was under see at the time, and I think that will help me in getting old of the fellow entirely." Mr. Co eeeee s regretted that he was unable to punish the prisoner further than by sending him back to prison; there to remain for three months for deserting his first wife, and re fusing to maintain her; and on his liberation, if he stilt re fused to maintain her, lie should have a repetition of the pa-' oishment. The Magistrate added, that if the first wife had money, arid applied to Doctors' Commons, she would doubtless be released (ram her disagreeable engagement.—The prisoner was then sent back to Brixton. 1 LAMOITH ISTRCIT.—DanieI Hyde, a wretched-looking old man; aked about 69 years, was brought up by Sion-, the constable, charged under the Vagrant Act. 'the con stable said he found the old mad sleeping in a bay-stack on Monday night in Mile end. Mr. flier:owlet, addressing the prisoner—Where do you belong to? Old Man.—To Manchester, please your Worship. Mr. HARDIVI6C.—How long have you been in London? Old Man.—l came to town about four months ago. Mr. HAM/MCC—What brflught you to town ? Old Man, heaving a deep sigh—A Snit in Chance/. for. HARDWICC—Wae it before the Lord Chancellor - r Old Man.—No, the case was in the Vice-Chancellor's Court. I have papers at my lodgings, No. 19, Field-lane, relative to the mater, weighing IS or 19 pounds. Mr. HARDIVICK.—What did the property in dispute COD sist of? Old Man..lt was a trifle that my father, at his decease, left in the bands of the executors for me, and Lye been a long time seeking after it, Mr. HARDOICK (langhing.)-1 think the Vice-Chancel lor should lonic after this man; we had better refer biw to Sir John Leach. Mr. WYATT.—You have recovered the property at length, it seems. Old Man.—The case has not been brought to an issue as yet. Mr. WYATT.—Have you seen any of your counsel lately: Old Man.—Yes, but they begin now to look upon me coolly. Mr. Mavntas.—That's because you have no money. Old Man.—Yes, It is: my attorney had 150/. of me; there was !OW. left to each of four of us, and 1 purchased their titles to the legacy, which was the ruin of me; I was a small warehousekeeper at Manchester; and had several silk looms at work there. Mr. MATRIAL—How could you think of going to law— you know lawyers won't stir without money ? Old Man.—l came to town now to apply to the Master of the Rolls. Mr. WsATT.—Oh now we see you have come to town to revive a suit which has gone down 20 years ago for want of money to support your claim. Mr. fliauwtcc—lf the parish sends you home by the waggon, are you willing to go? Old Man.—Tliat would be degrading to me ; I can walk 15 or 20 miles a day. Mr. MATIIIAS.--if I give you W., will you set off for Manchester ? Old Man.—Yes, upon my honour, I will. He then got the money, and left the office hastily. Town-11A LL, SOUTH WA RIE.--YeSterday, John Belle:arks, the man olcolour, butler to Mr. M'Gitlivray, of Suffolk lane, Cannon-street, was brought up for re-examination on the charge of robbing: his master of a silver goblet, and fully committed for trial. THAMES POLICE: INDIAN JVGGLERIS.—James Abraham Richmond, landlord of the Green Dragon Tavern, Stepney appeared, before J. Ballantine, Esq., on an information filed against him, for keeping a disorderly house. The Chief Surveyor of Police stated, that on the lSth inst. in consequence of information by public placard, that an Indian Juggler and tumbler was about to perform there that evening, he went to the house, and on attempting to enter what is called the club room on the first floor, a shil ling was demanded, which he refused to pay; the landlord at this time main the room disputing with a stranger, who desired his admission money to be returned • a number of persons bad assembled, mus i c was d e li g hti ng the audience, and a tumbling board, juzgling, balls, &c. appeared all ready for the performer. iVitness called the landlord aside and told him the Magistracy did not sanction such amuse ments, and he should file an Information against him. The defendant received from his neighlmrs an excellent character, and pleaded ignorance of the law on such an oe casion, observing that such practices were continued by all houses in that district. The 111autaxitaTz said, he could not be ignorant, Ms license would tell him better; the Act of 22 Geo. 11. ex pressly prohibited such an exhibition; but in consequence of the good character he had received, be should mitigate the penalty to half. The defendant was convicted consequently in 21. 10s. which he paid and retired. CAUTION TO C •tetlllaN AND lit/ARM—OS Thursday evening, *hen the Yarmouth mail arrived at Ipswich, after the guard had 'taken out his bags to convey them to the post-office, a man, who was an outside passenger, very de. liberately took a parcel out of the mail-box, wrapped it up in a great coat, and threw the coat and parcel down on the ground. A man who attends the mail on its arrival came 1 in sight at this time, and the passenger who had thrown down the coat got down, and c a r e l ess ly removed it to the office door, evidently to avoid suspicion. The man chat lenged him witb it, .and informed the 'guard; the fellow immediately ran away, leaving his booty and two coats and an umbrella. It torus out he was oue of a gang of seven who came from Yarmouth, and is now in Ipswich gaol for picking the pocket of a gentleman of Ipswich. The remainder of the gang have not been heard of: it is strongly suspected they have been watching the coach some time, and supposed they bad got hold of a banker's parcel, FAIRS AND MARKETS. Exeter Lemma Fair, proaT illin— ueed rather a small &air of tittle. the Vale of which was d e ll, a t d ec li n i ng p . ices. Fat bullocks, - of airhfeh there was a gr e at d e fi c i ency . f etched, on the avers not mote than Sa. 6d. per score; for lean stock there was bit little demand. There was a numerous show of Horses, in the lifOnhay, but few purchases made. New bade*, of very line quality. was sold in nekton Mu ket on SaturdaY last; t weighed 1741b5. per Cornish bushel, of 24 gallons, and brought from 17s. Od. to 18s. for that gun vity. The fair at Marhareehereh, last week, was not well attended by purchasers, and the prices obtained for cattle were rathe r lower than what have been lately stated :—the prices et peeled for sheep could not be obtained, and manrremairird unsold. The fair at St. Lawrence (Thursday) was well supplied with sheep,' a few of which w ere so ld a t l ow pr i ces . — There was sr; abundant supply of horned cattle ; about 8 A of which were sold at very redueed prices. LOCKER/21i, Atm 16—Our Lammas fair was held on %Wednesday last. It Is generally supposed to be the great est fair for lambs in Scotland, and this year the somber was unusually large, there being reckook about AOKI shown, four-fifths of which were Cheviot, and the remain. der black-faced. Besides the produce of Dumfries-shir e , there were lots from the adjoining counties of Roxburgh, Peebles, Selkirk, and Lanark. Fewer buyers than fir. merly from the north of England appea re d, an d t h e d e mind for the low farms of this county and Galloway wet also perhaps less than usual, owing to the lateness of the crops. The fairs at Lanark, Thirlestane, and Tynegteer, in the preceding week, having also all been exceedinzli dull, and the priers much fallen, a had market was antici• paled, and it certainly turned out to be the worst held her. for the last 20 years. A few of the best lots of Cheviot wedder lambs from the lower situated Gnus, (beir.2: ti year comparatively in better condition than the bleier) were sold in tie morning at from Se. 6d. to 73.61., Anil one lot only about Ss. These lots not exceeding 1,000 or I.s(si lambs, were bought for immediate feeding. on clover ohil turnips. All the large lots from the higher terms s•on.l long, the prices gradually declined, and at last it is tip. posed that from 10,000 to 12,000 were driven off unini•!. Top Cheviot wedder lambs (exclusive of the lots enen!ivi ed) were sold at from ss. to Si. tild.; second ewe do. from 4s. Catl. to Si. 63.; and a few of the third or smallest sort, from 2s. 6.1. to 4s. Black faced lamb: were equally low is proportion. Few, it is believed, exceeded Si. 61., and greatest part were much below that rate. Prices havisz been rapidly falling for the last two weeks, were at t!rit market 10 per cent., on an average below those of Lmt holm or Boswell's; and taking the whole shown, were 1 , 4 ; greater than those of last year. A few woolst splers still remaining in the country, appeared at the market; brit it was not understood that any bargains Were concluder' at positive prices. It is not believed that any Cheviot wool hai yet bren sold at 10s. the stogie, and the price proposed by the staplers is generally considerably below that sure. SONNOLENCT.—A most extraordinary eireamstaneeoennrrel in the town of Arklow, a few dayi back : a woman fen ssis-e;., and continued so for the space of fourteen days without mission. During that period she breathed most freely—An awoke for a short time on the 14th day, but relapsed into ass everlasting sleep.—( Wexford Intelligexcer.) RounsitY.—Some time ago, the traveller of the lions* of William Pirie and Co., Aberdeen, when on his journey In tween Dandee and Cupar, had Isis saddle-hags cut, ars.l • a pocket book, containing bills to the amount. of 1,5 1 14.1/. a variety of blank bill stamps, and about LW in money, ah. stracted. The robbery was discovered at Newport, and although a strict inquiry was made at the, time, both tl.eie I and at Dundee no trace of the depredators could be obt a i n . ed. On Mon day last, however, a young man, of the flan. of Parsons, who has been going idle abont Copsr for sole weeks p,ast offered oneof the waiters in the Tontine neverg blank stamps, in payment of a debt which was due to him. Upon this ctrcumstancebeing communicated toMr. *Nab, he immediately concluded that they were part of the hills stolen, and steps were taken to they Parsons, an! some others, supposed to be connected with him, apprehended. Unfortunately, however, some delay took place, and he, along with a boy named Wylie, in the service of Alexander Carnegie, absconded. Another boy,of the name of *Gre gor, who carries the post-hags between Caper and Dundee, was implicated, end lodged in jail on Tuesday. It appears that upon the traveller's arrival at Newport, he lisd sent Iris saddle-bags to the stables to be put on Lis bow, and that Wylie,who was there at the time, had taken an oppor tunity to abstract the pocket-book, which he broughtts Cupar with him, when he, with Parsons and 111‘lfregor, divided the money , and blank stamps, and tore, or other wise destroyed, the bills and pocket-book. A precor °idol of this affair has been instituted by the proper as. ttiorities. CORONER'II INQUEST.—An Inqnest was belfilesterilay at the Bull and Last, Kentish Town, on the body of a msa, name unknown, aged about 53, who was found drowned.— From the evidence of a person named William .I.lamt, it appeared that he was apprized on IVednesday of a pair of spectacles and hat having been found beside the Seven Ponds. His supposition was that deceased had fallen in, and he requested that drags might be instantly procured ; none were on the spot, nor could any be procured from Hampstead or Highgate. The witness from IVednesday till Saturday used every endeavour to obtain the bode, which he felt convinced was in the water, and on Sunday morning constructed a drag himself, and again went to the pond; he dragged fur a considerable time, an d a t l eng th brought up the body.—Verdict, found drowned. The FOREMAN said be considered that it was necessare that drags should be furnished ; it was a matter of doubt whether the deceased fell in or whether he drowned him self ; at all events be considered drags should he supplied, either by the water companies to whom the ponds belonged or by the parish. Some of the Jury hinted Oat the lin mane Society should see that was done. The CORONER said, the Humane Society was a company of individual , . and they gave rewards for finding the bodies ; hut, if they were to be obliged to supply drags, it would he an expel) , e to them of many hundred pounds—whereas, if seek Perish bought them, the amount would be very trifling. The Foreman said, if the Parish or Company were appliei ro they would find the drags, which lie considered was very essential, and might have been found so in this cane.
