He rood be came tired of soldiering, and plagued her incessantly to buy him off, which she did for 201., having horrotrad 151. of the money for the purpose. He promised, if the I would get him off, be would sweep the streets to get a living for her; but after she had effected his liberation, be never did any thing for her, and at last left het far ad vanced in prenancy, destitute of support, having before be abandone d her treated her with the greatest unkind ness and inhumanity. He again returned to her against her wish, and again repeated his former usage, and at length it was agreed between them, that he should sell her in the public market place ; and her brother-in-law. to rescue her from the miseries she had so long endured, purchased her for three shillings, and from that time till the day of her death she had resided in his house, and always lived a decent and orderly life. She never knew the prisoner was subject to fits. 'The prisoner, in his defence, said his first wife, and 'Nor Oster and her husband, made him sell her, beeause they wanted to get the property and goods. Mr. Baron Oaaaow said the Jury bad heard a great deal of evidence, which they were not to take into their consideration la coming to a decision on the charge they were trying. The only question they had to trouble themselves with was, whether the prisoner married Char lotte Sharpe, his former wife being then alive : that fact bad been proved by respectable witnesses, and if they were satisfied with their evidence, it was the duty of the Jury to pronounce the prisoner guilty. All the rest they were not to trouble themselves withi but to leave it for the consideratiou of the Court. Tbc iuriritill;;d;ertiicof Guilty. The prisone► was then solemnly addressed by the Court, and senteaced to be transported beyond the seas for seven years. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—aVRLIAM, JULY 25, 2 r. st • before Mr. Justice (Linda. Thomas Watson aas indicted for robbing, on the highway Jane Sherlock, on the 27th of August last, in the neighbourhood of South Shields. The circumstances were these: the prosecntrix, Jane Sherlock. was going into South Shields at nine o'clock, on the Light of the day mentioned in the indictment, wben she was met by the prisoner, who charged her, as a married woman, with having indulged in a profligate intercourse with another man, and was proceeding to use some violence to make her yield to his wishes; when she Meted to give him all the money she bad if he would desist. Relying inn his promise to let her go away, she gave him sixpence and half a crown ; however, he still continued his at tempts to accomplish his purpose, but without effect.— And be was now prosecuted for having robbed her on the highway of 3s. Several witnesses were called, who confirmed all the circumstantial part of her testimony. Mr. Justice BATLEY, is charging the Jury, said that though a person voluntarily gave money to another, still if it were given under the influence of a threat or menace, and with a view to make that person desist from using further violence, it amounted to effect, and the law so held it, to a highway robbery. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. DEVON• LAMMAS ASSIZES. -may CROWN NAIL Ocorge Blackmore, seventy years of age, was indicted lin the capital offence of having done violence to the person of diary Bolton, of Plymouth, a child under ten years of age. Mary Bolton, the mother, stated that the child attained her tenth year In April last: the father was then called, who said the birth-day was in May, and produced his Bible, on which his children's ages were mentioned; bat as this register was copied from a paper .(which is lost) by another person, the Bible could not be received in evidence; neither of them appeared cer tain about the age. The little girl was then sworn, who related her story with great flippancy, and without hesi tation. She stated the prisoner had often accomplished lie purpose, with her consent. She wa.closely cross-exa mined by Mr. Williams, and appeared to know nothing more than what she had stated in her examination in chief. When asked a question, she immediately began to move her lips, without uttering any thing aloud, till continually pressed for an answer, which was usually " don't know ;" upon which Mr. Williams remarked.— " She appears to be repeating some sort of story which she has learnt; if your Lordship will have the goodness to observe, her lips are continually snowing." Mr. May, the constable who apprehended the prisoner, stated that be protested his innocence, and said that the child had frequently visited him. and be bad given her provisions and half pence out of charity. Two respect able gentlemen of Plymouth, who had known the pri soner n-ar twenty years, gave him a good character for morality. The Judge in summing up, told the Jury that the offence charged in the indictment was a capital one, whether the child consented or not, If the child were under ten years of age. As the parents bad blundered so much as to the month in which she was born, they may be equally uncertain as to the year. " She may (said his Lordship) be above the age; if not old in years she is old in iniquity—l newer before witnessed such depravity in one so young." The Judge then called the surgeon who had given evidence, and after putting ooe or two questions to him, he said to the jury," Gentlemen, you have heard what the surgeon has stated; 1 will go through with this disgusting story, if you are not gabs fied."—The foreman of the Jury (after a moment's con sultation with his brother Jurors)—" My Lord, we are satisfied that the prisoner is Not Guilty."l' he girl ap pears at least 13 or 14 years old. NISI PRIUS. TIM ATTORNEY GENERAL O. COMERFORD. ®This was an information under the Hawkers' and Ped lars' Act, for selling goods at Sidmouth and Exmouth, contrary to the statute. The trial occupied several hours. It appeared that some books had been offered for sale by auction, at Dorchester, as the property of Mr. Sylvester, an auctioneer of Weymouth ; at Weymouth, in the name of the defendants; at Sidmouth, as the property of Mr. Cawley, a bookseller there; and at Exmouth, as the property of another person—Comerford having been there addressed by the name of Webb. The difficulty in arriving at the facts in point of the legal proof was very considerable; but, notwithstanding the defend an t' s counsel, Mr. Wilde, the Jury returned a verdict for the Crown for one penalty of fifty pounds for the selling at Exmouth. DAVY V. MARNA/100K. The interesting causes which bad taken piece were succeeded by an 'action for a legal distress, which bad been taken for 6.. 6d. under which, property was seized (and carried off before the expiration of five days) and subsequently, converted to the defendant's use, of the value of 121. rid. The scene of action was at Tavistock, where the ruthless underlings of the law (bailiffs) were stated to have entered and seized the property in question,' and also to have taken advantage of the absence of the .plaintiff's wife to lock her out, and to remove the win dows, and otherwise to act in a way to render the house uninhabitable. 00 the other side there was more teen suspicion that the plaiatilf had removed all his other va- Inable effects to prevent his landlord, the defendant, from securing himself. At the end of four hours, the Jury awarded the plaintiff the sum of sizpenee, as compensation fur the evils he had sustained ; and the Learned Judge was of spision that the plaiatiff was sr to a verdict; bat. ander seek niectaistaitees, ha wasid certify artful the plaiatiff '• INK ,- GARDNIta V. witu.mto. • This was an action broegist by tbttPiaiatit who was Vicar of East Dean, for aaolhatroetfo• wbieb bad bees made against his alleged right of way bra email' path from the vicarage fume to the ebareb.

Simeon Wood was charged with stealing a gelding from a common in the parish of Brinklow, belonging to Av,ry Butler. The prisoner, it appeared, in a drunken frolic, took the prosecutor's horse from a common where it wail grazing. and rode it, using his garters for a bridle along the banks of a canal, to a neighbouring parish, where, the unskilful management of the animal, lost was ti roe n off. By this circumstance the attention of a far mer was attracted to the spot, who, on looking at the horse, immediately saw it was his i friend, Jr. Butler's, and questioned the prisoner as to where be came from, hnd where he was riding to. The foolish fellow, with all the inconsistency of a drunken man, gave. simple ova sire answers, and, on being taken before a IMagistrate,lte refused, or was unable to give any yetis actory ac onnt of himself. and the consequence was, that on fhe :nth of Jane last, he was committed to the county gaol on a charge of capital felony,noder the name of " Anony mous," where be has ever since remained. The Court„without calling on the prisoner for his de. fence, put it to the Jury. whether it was necessary to pro ceed with the trial, and they having conceived favoura bly of the prisoner's case, returned an immediate verdict of—Not Guilty. John llohner .(who surrendered himself to be tried) was placed at'the bar on a charge of biesmy. Lucy Hughes was present at the wedding of the pri. sneer with his first wife Sarah MtLachlin, at St. Peter's Church, Birmingham, on the let of February, 1819. Cross-examined.—The prisoner lived with his wife or two years after they were married. She did not know pith whom he then went to live. They lived together set: unhappily. After they were parted. Mrs. Holmer *rilt to live with her brother-in-law. Mr , . Holmes Lroihrr-in-law bought her in a public market, with a halter round her neck, for three shillings. She did not know that the prisoner hail been ill in a hooka, tine 41l she know that he was subject to fits, or was wields his intellects aid understanding. 137 the COCRT—At the time of his first marriage she' slid not conceive him to be a map less strong iu his on• iderstaniling than other men in his situation is life. The only proof she had of his being a weak man, was his selling his rife with a halter round her neck. The prisoner, a little, (lark, ill favoured man, as this w'tness closed her evidence, became affected with a vio lert agitation, which, for an instant, apparently deprived Lite of his senses; but he shortly recovered himself, and Fettau stamping and turning round in very rapid succes sion, and at the same time stared wildly and vacantly round the Court. The illness did not afflict him more than three minutes, when be again -voluntarily placed litutself at the bar. By the order of the Court he was in sittigrd with a chair. James Sharpe saw the prisoner married at Aston Clinrch, near Birmingham, on the 26th February last.— Ili-liner was then married to Charlotte Sharpe, and be appeared rational like other men. Cross-examined--Charlatte Sharpe, the prisoner's 'se cond wife, was his (witness's) mother. He never kicked him out of his own house, but the prisoner had threat ened to turn him out of doors, and brought some of his relations to assist in doing it ; but instead of succeeding, 11. e w itness got the master of him, and carried hint out of the house gently, hut never kicked him out. This happened on the 26th June ; and Hubner married his mother on the 26th February. It was not long after he Flied hint out of his own house that the charge of bi gamy was made against him. For a fortnight after lloliner was turned out, he lived in lodgings which he bad formerly occupied, and his (witness's) mother lived in her own house. The prisoner came out of a hospital about a month before he was last married, and became acquainted with his wife at a shoemaker's shop where ti.e witne's's brother was apprenticed. The prisoner t)::ce saute to his wife's house, and broke open the door, at:d wanted to rob her of all her furniture and property. llohner was a gilder, and carried on his business in the back part of his wife's house. The witness had worked with him, before which tie was a traveller. The witness it'd not turn Holmer out of the house, and then take to lis shoo and trade—he could sot do so ; he did not know the business sufficiently. His mother bad the pos session of all Holmer's tools. The charge of bigamy was not made to get rid of the prisoner. The charge of bigamy had been made long before Messrs. Spurrell and Co , solicitors, had written a letter demanding re stitution of the property. If Holmer had not made an attempt to break into the house, the charge of bigamy would have been made against him. The prisoner did out believe his first wife was dead at the time he entered into the second marriage ; nor was it a fact that his first wife died within forty-eight hours after tne second mar riage. It was at least six weeks after the second mar ridge that his first wife died. Ito-examined.—The prisoner came with a cart, and a t imultuous crowd to take away the goods. By toe Court.—He had known the prisoner six weeks before marriage, and during that he was as assiduous and attentive to Mrs. Sharpe as a wan could be, or usu ally was, who bad any intention of proposing marriage to a woman. He did not know the first wife was living till three weeks after the second marriage. The prisoner represented himself as being a gilder. He never knew' him afflicted eith fits ike those he had this day; he was always in the midst of good health. The prisoner was io the hospital a month before the marriage, and after be got out, he regularly visited Mrs. Sharpe. His mother was not here. The parish registers of the two marriages were put in sod read. Mrs. Mary MelAchlin the sister-in-law of the pri soner's first wife, depose d that she died on the kb of Allay last. -.1F , .1(. - • --- '"* l..--- - 'ATESMAN SURREY SESSIONS.

Mr. Tinsmana stated the case for the prosecution, which .be said, was carried on by the Metropolitan Taw Society, .against the defendant for hating obtained a edm of money by pretending that he was an Attorney. Ann Dias., wife of Thomas Dias, deposed that in the month of July, 1820, having heard that her horse and cart w re taken for having no Itemise, she was running down • Union-street in a great fright, when lawyer CQINII (the prisoner) met her. They went together to the Catharine Wheel public heese, where he asked her for es. 13d. for a Lawyer's fee, which she gave him, and he appointed to meet her at the same place on . Monday to finish the business, Union Hall Police Office being then shut. On Monday the prisoner did not chine at the time appointed, and witness gave bail for an appearance at the Sessions against the con viction, which she toil the prisoner when he came. The prisoner, afterwards, for the alleged purpose of carrying on the epeeist obtained of her at different times, His., one gallica, and halta-crown, another ten Widnes, and three . gullies& Witness went to the Sessions at Kingston, and having heard her nano called in Court, went to the prisoner, who was outside, and asked him to come in. He replied it was dm• enough, and refused. Witness cried at the refusal, nail being advised by a gentleman, she went to the prisoner, and asked him to give up the brief, which be refused, say- Nog it would be time enough next day. The contictioe was in consequence oonfinned, but the fine was remitted.

POLICE. .A..-..ew...... BOW-STREET.—Yesterday, James Abbott, a person who prefixes the title of Reverend to hie name, bat who, it would appear, has not yet obtained holy orders, at. tended at this office, before Sir It. Bina! a noel G. it, MINSHULL. Esq. to answer to a charge, under the 30th Geo. 111. for unlawfully pawning a large quantity of books, the property of tie Rev. Abel Brett Brereton, without the authority of the owner. He was attended by a solicitor, and Mr. Alley appear ed for the prosecution. Mr. ALLEY, in his address to the Magistrates, made some severe observations upon the conduct of the defend- I ant, who, he said, bad represented himself as being actually in order. ' and had o ff iciated so far as to read prayers and preach, but had taken care to avoid adminis tering the sacrament, or solemnizing marriages, because he knew that by performing either of those sacred cere monies, he would have rendered himself liable to trans portation. The Rev. Abel Brett lirereton Boated that he was re siding at present with his brother at Sherrington Hall, Norfolk, and was a Clergyman of the Established Church. The defendant kept a school at I/Arington jatta Parer sham, in Kent, and also officiated as Minister of a Chapel there, annexed to the Established Church, bat alienated from the authority of the Bishop of the diocese. It was the exclusive property of Mr. 'I urner, the Lord of the Manor, upon which it stood. Some time since, witness made an engagement with the defendant to assist him in his school,and also to officiate occasionally in the chapel. The defendant generally read prayers and preached, and witness uniformly administers.•l tile sacrament and so lemnized marriages there. In the early part of the pre sent year, in consequence of indisposition, which ren dered him unable to perform his duties with satisfaction to himself, he resigned his situation, and went into Nor folk, leaving a valuable library, consisting of theological hooks in the care of the defendant, who was to keep them until witness could conveniently send for them.— About three weeks ago, he was informed by Mr. Sains bury, that the books were pawned, and he had seen some of them at Mr. Dry's, a pawnbroker, in St. Mar tio's•lane. He gave the defendant no authority to pawn the books. Evidence was given of pawning the 'books by Mr. Sainsbury, who produced a document, which proved the authority given by the defendant to pawn the goods in question. The defendant persisted in denying that he gave an thority to Mr. Sainsbury to pawn the books. A conversation which lasted nearly three hours en sued, in the course of which a great deal of invective passed on both sides. It ended in the defendant being ordered to pay the sum of 331. 10s., being the amount of principal and interest of the pawning, and a penalty of 51. as atithorized by the Art of Parliament. The defendant expressed himself dissatisfied with this order, and entered into recognizance. to prosecute an appeal at the Sessions against the conviction. MA ILLBOROUGH•STREST.—Mary Am. Pearce, better known at all the police offices by the title of Lady Bar ryntore, was yesterday brought from St. Giles's watch house, before Mr. Dm, the Sitting Magistrate, charg ed with conduct very unbecoming a lady of rank. Green, one of the beadles of St. Giles's parish, stated that lie found her ladyship the night before quite drunk, in the street, surrounded by a mob of about fifty persons, and kicking up a regular row. He attempted to take her to the watchhouse, but so violent was her resistance, being well instructed in the pugilistic art, that he was obliged to force her with great difficulty into a coach, and by that means convey her away. During the whole of this recital, her ladyship appeared at the bar as mute and ino• dest as if she were in her pristine innocence ; but no sooner did Mr. Dyer utter the words " Twenty-one days at the tread mill," than the mild Lady Barrymore was soddenly transformed into the furious termagant Mary Ann Pearce. She d--d and bl—ted the whole ma gistracy, and every other species of autbority,but in par ticular Mr. Der ; and," suiting the action to the word," she aimed a desperate blow at Green, the beadle, who stood rather near her, which, had it not missed its aim, would soon have made Mr. Green's face look black. As it was, it appeared rather blue, for she sent his hat lying to the opposite side of the office. The Magistrate now said he should add seven days more to her amusement at the tread mill, and a month should be the pe riod of her sojourn in the House of Correction. On the officers proceeding to remove her in obedience to this sentence, she swore she would not move an inch, and her ladyship kicked and plunged within the bar as grace fully as • young colt first tried in harness. She directed another tremendous hit at Green's head, which he had also the good fortune to escape the fall force of. At length, after a desperate struggle, her ladyship was by main strength literally carried into the strong room, where she was left to prance about until the hour for re moving her to her final destination. QUIIIIN-Yesterday--Ylliffdir Wm. Briton Dyson, Stl3 • pseud of the murder of it lea Anthony, was again brought up and underwent a long examination before Mr. Marklsad and Mr. White. John Ray, 8, Strutton-ground, watchman at the Speaker's house, deposed, that on Friday night he went on duty as usual, on the terrace before the Speaker's house; about two o'clock on Saturday morning he heard the cry of murder, which was repeated two or Jane times; the sosed appeared to issue from under Westminster Bridge, and to the. best: of his judgment war a ono vole; directly afterwards he heard the same voice emdaim, " Elias, my dent !

They then stated that the solicitor joine I I their company without being incited, and challenged , them to toss for Champagne—that they drank a great deal of wine, and roamed about amongst the Iliffrreot night houses, at one of which the srlicitor met with a female, with whom he had much conversation; that • row took place, and the solicitor was must active in making the ring for the comha•ants. and that it was after this exhibition the parse was missed. ir.ii, the constable, said that he knew the parties to be respectable.
