A most outrageous assault was committed by a ruffian on hemoback on two young ladies of 'the names Of Rem and MEAD, 06 the Rdburnßoad, on Tuesday evening. The ladies were first ad. dressed by the offender, wheyves attended by a groom.boy, bet they made no reply, i until his lan. rage became so disgusting, that they prudently left the high road and walked aloof/ a field to avoid hie impertinence. The fellow alighted from his horse, and followed the ladies, whilst the boy held the animal, and his conduct was each, pelt cularly with Miss Burrs, who is the daughter of tt gentleman, that her garments were literally torn of her back, and on her deliverer, a man of the name of Giles, a carpenter, coming to her assiah. sore, he found her senseless. The ruffian gal. lopped off towards town, and, unfortensdely for the ends of justice, has not been traced. SHOCKING ACOOE/ST.—On Sunday evening a party of eight, who had spent a convivial day at Sunbury, were returning to Loudon, when the boat 1 1 n which they were was upset in consequence of running foul of a pile,•and two persons, Julia Mane, and a young man of the name of Pesten, were drowned. The body of Miss Mane was found in half an hour after the accident, and a Coroner's Jury has brought in a verdict of—Ac. cideisted Death. The young man, who was a clerk, was found yesterday morning.

NORRIS V. 00431.1111. The disagreements between these parties, which ha'e been so long in Court, were again alluded to by the LORD CUANCELLOR to-day. He said he wished to know what was the extent of the rule intended to be sought for; because he could not think of appointing • manager if nothing more was intended. If the parties would come to an agreement that they would continue tenahts in common in perpetuity, and an instrument for that purpose should be so drawn up before a refer. ence to the Muter, it might settle all future dis puta between them. In that case he might con. eider of the propriety of appointing a manager; but which he should not do if nothing more was in tended. Sir - S. ROMILLY said, that the Defendant emild have ao objection to a reference to the Master. _ _ But Mr. HART, on behalf of the Plaintiff, claimed the right of reference only to the per. sons named In the °listing instrument between the parties. The Loan CHANCELLOR desired that he should be informed on Saturday, whether the parties would agree to a reference to the Master. NEWLAND to. CLARKE. A Mr. Rubinson had left a quantity of Stock to Government for the use of the Public, and ap. pointed the late Mr. Abraham Newland his Ele. tutor and Trustee. But a dispute arose about the right to some dividends doe and unclaimed. The Defendant claimed them as being the Devisee of the personal property and goods. The ATTORNEY. GENERAL claimed in behalf of his Majesty and the Public ; and the next of kin claimed these dividends as 'indisposed of by the will. The Court decided that they belonged to the next of kin, and ordered a reference to the Master to tax the costs. Mr. ALCIANDER, on the part of the Attorney. General, now applied to the Court for leave to except to the Master's Report for having dual. towed costs to which it was alleged the Attorney. General was entitled. The LORD CH ASCRLLOR could not see the rea son why certain items in the account u( the At. torney-Gotteral 134 d been disallowed—but he re commended it to the Solicitors to give a distinct statement of the account ; fur If the matter was sent again to the Master, the parties would be smothered with expeace. Mr. Ricasitos—" They are almost smothered already, my Lord." COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Wednesduy, July 19. SITTINGS IICTOR: LORD aLLENBOItoVen, Mt. MORAL •UIIES IN GUILDN•LL. WPMT V. PURNELL AND SPENCER. Mr. G sallow stated this to be an action to re. tover the value of 289 bales of goat skins, con taining five dozen each, amounting, at 575. 6d. per dozen, to 41541. 71. Bd. The purchase was made on the 27th of April, for bills at five months date...fourteen days prompt. On the 16th of May last, the warehouse at Ralph's Quay, wherein these goods were deposited, was con. sumed by fire. On the 19th, the Bills of Exchange were tendered to the Defendants for acceptance, by a Clerk of, the Plaintiff's attorney, who at the sane time chewed to the De. fendants the origin-it contract—but they refused to accept the Bills on the ground of the goods not having been delivered. A witness would prove a conversation between the Plaintiffstal Furnell, one of the Defendants, on the 11th or 12th of May, in hich Mr. Furnell admitted that the goods had been deposited in the warehouse for their account ; and also at the same time admitted, that if the goods were kept any longer in that warehouse, himself and his partner were liable to the payment of rent. Mr. GARROW further stated it to be the invariable custom of trade, that when goods were once sold, they were at the risque of the buyer if any acci. dent happened to them. The sale and amount of these goods were not disputed, and the whole of the question turned on the liability of the Defendants under the circum. stances of the case. Francis Lennigan, clerk to the Plaintiff l proved that on the 12th of hot May, he and the Plaintiff met the Defeadsot Furnell, near the Exchange, and Zagury said to him, " I wish you would take away the skins." Defendant replied, 46 as the warehouse rent is only 15s. a week for the whole, let them remain there, and we will pay for it ; in the mean time, if you can sell them fur three guineas a dozen do it for we." (He him. self had bought them fur 575. Bd. per dozen). Zagury said, 66 very well ; .1 will draw bills, and send them to your counting-house;" to whisk the Defendant replied, " Do, cad we will accept seeet.''....Cross-examined by the Attorney. Gene. ral, he admitted, that his employer (Zagury) had endeavoured, after the Defendant bought the skins, to sell them for St. per dozen ; but that the witness understood to be on account of Mr. Furnell. Solomon Sebeg, a dealer in skins, proved that it was the regular node to open every bale, and count the skins before delivery ; and that the bar. gain was not good without it. Mr. Aylwin the warehouse..keeper, where the skins were lodged, proved, that Mr. Furnell came to him, and asked to see the skins; witness in. quired if he had au order from the Plaintif ; on which Fume,' said, he had actually bought theme. Several of the bales were then opened to him, maids he counted, and appeared eatirfsed. Mr. F. came again on the 6th of May, and asked for sight bales of the largest skins ; witness said, be hid only orders from Zagury to let him have four bales. F. appeared surprised that me order • AN. had been left by Z. u he said he had promised to do so. The skins were soon after burnt. Solomon Sebag corroborating the evidence of Mr. Lannigan, the Plaintif f s cletii, as to the , cartons of opening and counting the skins in every bale before the buyer takes thins Lord ELLENSOBOUOII observed, that a constant custom in a trade must always decide the terms of sale, without a spetific agreement had ben ea. tered into as to the form of sale, which hal nut been done in this case; under those considerati ins, he was of opinion the Plaintif f should be called. The Plaintiff was accordingly nos:suited. HAWkINS O. WATSON. This was an action of trover for converting eight tons of Riga hemp, which the Plaintiff had bought of Messrs. Koffman and Co. which had been consigned to than by Stine, and Cu. fur I'4l , upon commission, in the usual form. When the time for the delivery of the goods arrived, Mi. Hawkins applied to Mr. Watson. (oho nas the warehouseman with whom the good, were depo sited by Messrs. Koffman and Cu.) fur possession of the goods; but instead of delivering to hies the goods, Mr. Watsoo, to satisfy Mr. Hawkins that the goods should, at all events, be hie, gave to him the following note:—" Sir, the eight tons of Riga hemp, bought of Koffman and Company, I have transferred . to your name, and shell hold the same at your disposal." After this Mr. Hawkins sent a person to demand the delivery of these goods; but meanwhile, Koffman acid Co. had become bankrupt, . and Simms and Cu. intim. uified Watson for refusing to deliver them up; upon which this actiou was brought to compel that delivery. It was insinuated, but of that there was no proof, that Mr. Hawking, being a creditor to the amount of 3001. un Koffrnau and Cu. had col. luded with them upon this occasion, to procure to himself a preference over the other creditors of. Koffman and Co. to the prejudice of Shill* and Co. Verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages, the amount of the value of the hemp, 10161. SURREY QUARTER SESSIONS. ili-dnesday, July 19. Cornelius Browne, alias Hamilton, vas in. dieted for stealing a quantity of brass and iron from the premises of Messrs. Brent, in the Girt,. tnercial.road, and found guilty. 'rite prisoner be. ing an old offender, and but recently returned from Botany Bay, was again sentence) to raven years transportation. George Parsons, another old offender, and but a few weeks from Botany Bay, was likewise con victed of picking the pocket of a gentleman named Ferguson of a pocket-hook containing bank notes to the amount of eight pounds. — lie was also sentenced to seven years transporta tion. • John Robinson was itsiffiged for feloniously ap propriating to his own use a quantitz of hand. bills entrusted .to his care by Mr. Ittlist*Ai, of the Royal Circus, for the purpose of being publicly circulated. The prisueor was, however, erro neously indicted at Common Law, and was coa -1 sequently stelsaittcd. Cardinal Wills was indicted by Magri. Big' and Burnett, licensed coal-meters, for having cu► healed to his own use sundry sums of money wfiich he received on their meted. It appeared that the coal-meters for the county of Surre were remunerated fur their trouble by • cattalo fee of sixpence per chaldrun for every chaldron of coals measured within their district ; and that they were entitled by Act of Parliament to appoint persons to assist them in the execution of their duty, at a salary of tOs. per week, one of which persons the prisoner was. He eas sta tioned on Jamaica Wharf, for the purpose of see. ing the coals properly measured, and receiving the meters' fees thereon, in the execution of which utlice it was alleged that he embezzled sundry sums of money, included in separate indictments. It appeared, however, that the indictments ,ih this ease were brought under the With clause of the 39th of the King, which enacted that all clerks or servants who converted to their owneuse monies received on their masters' account s without their said masters' consent, should be deemed guilty of felony. Mr. NOLA N, Counsel for the Prisoner, took on objection to the informality of the indictment, and contended that the charge against his client, in the present instance, did not come «Rhin the provision of the Act alludrd to ; as the primmer was acting, not as the clerk or servant of Messrs. Biggs and Auasi.l4, bet as duration% saivent of the public. Mr. iturtutewrox, for the .prosecution, in an elaborate and ingenious argument, eteleaveureJ to Impress on the Court, that thi Psisoner, .being appointed by the Prosecutors ea execute a certain duty on their account, and to receive for them certain legal fees thereon fur their benefit and ad vantage solely, that he was in tkc eye of the law to be viewed ire no other light than as their servant or deck. In this opinion he was over-tied by Mr. Ser. jeant ONseow and the Court. The Learned Ser. jeant said, it might as well be said, that the Cons. saissionen of the Excise, or any Public Func tionaries, could shape an indictment in a Emilio. isaaaise. It did not follow because an Act of Par •liament entitled any body of men to appoint per seal to act under them, that therefore those per sons were legally the servants of the persons who so appointed them. The Prisoner was consequently acquitted. Mr. Serjeant Oest.aw said, there was another remedy against the Prisoner, by shaping the in:• diatourat in a different manner, by whieh he might and with the punishment attached to such a dime. The unfortunate young man who exerted him self so greatly at the fire of Mr. NOaTIK'S house, Conduit-strait, still remains dangerously ill, and without hope of recovery, at the Coach and Hersey Conduit.street. —....,...... 1' Rule the rkst.—Whenever you walk rot f. the Montpelier of Cheltenham, the Stryne ..Brightou, the Esplanade at Weymouth, or •Crascrot,4 Balk be very particular in letting coiner a your ,bil i tilterchief bang out of yi pe l t**. .

GuILIDWALL.--- Yesterday I Mr. &Dee, Pawn. broker, in tent Cross.street, appeared to a mini. mons taken out against him by a Gentleman who ktol Nand in his possession a gold repeater; his property, which had been stuleo out of a coach on its way to town. Mr. Reeves stated, that the watch, or more properly the case, for it was only half a *arch, and had not even the appearance of haring ment, when it came into his possession, was Fur. chased by his apprentice, in his shop, in open market, and a fair price paid for it, according to its supposed value, being that of Old gold. Thu Worthy Alderman pointed out in forcible terms, the impropri .ty of persons who were pawn. broker., and at the same time kept open market in their shop, perch 'sing from strangers, of a h u m they knew nothing.

The Proaxutor found on the boy, in a bag which he carried for books in sheets, several bound books, which he knew to he his own property. On carrying him to the Cumpter, the buy confessed having stolen s great quantity of other books, at different times, and described the place where he had disposed of them. Cartwright, one of the Marshalmen, cordingly examined the boost of an out Win aid rag merchant, in Shoreditch, when., under a quantity of rags, were found concealed a var ety of Hi. bles, Prayer Books, &c. the prupor.y of the Prosecutor, amounting in value to upu r s of 51. for which the boy had not even received a currc. spunding number of shillings. The boy had a good character from his master, and was carried to Worship-street Office, where the receivers were tinder examination, with a re commendation rr•on the Worthy Al lean in (Ar. anis), that, if possinie, the boy shoal tie ha. inanely dealt by, and that the crime should be vi.. sited with severity on the receivers, who had ob. viotisly seduced him into the path of its q lity. _...T.
