I THE OLDHAM INQUEST. Prom I' Belts way DiefesteA.'' . TO MIL TISOMAS IRROANa 00RO7tIM. • Sta—We, the undersigned, members of the Jury im tvesa,elled to inquire into the cause of the death of John of Oldham, understanding that our proceeding to the close of that investigation, according to the adjourn meat made by yen. has been interrupted in consequence of Tone sot having complied with the requ;renients of the lair, by viewing the body, is company with us, after we were swore by yourself; 'hereby inform you, that we are now r e ady to fulfil the strict letter of our duty, by going with you to viesethe body. As we have already seen .the body, in company with a Medical Uentlenian. at a very early period after death, and as you havaalso be thre sees it, we conceive that a second view, evil in its • present state, would be amply sulb4:ent to remove that technical irregularity which you are committed, and to which we have unintentionally been made par ties. • We think it right further to declare to von, that from a careful and candid examination of the evidence hitherto adduced, we are of opinion, that in the case of John l.et a foul murder was cam:lliad, and we are anxious to eoceell to the conclusion of the inquiry, in ordef that, if nothing of future evidence should occur to change our conviction, we may record that conviction against those who inhumanly and barbarously assaulted - a meeting peaceably assembled for a legal purpose, and who have hitherto remained at large, notwithstanding the enor mity of their crimes. We have also to add, reports have been circulated, to ishiels, forgetting the respect you owe to us, from thesituatiolos we fill, you have made .yourself a party, by ityinuatiag that e hi% e been tam '4o period with : we think it necessary to ',mato., that our opinions as to the cause of the devis.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. v • I. !Derr* Lord Ode indict DALLIS, 1101 d a Sp vial Jury.) wnoursom v. inosoin. • Mr. Serjeaut OauLow stateeto the Jury, that this was an action broug ht by a Gentleman of the name of Thompson against ss Emily (Hover, to recover alto ether upwards of 1,000! ., due to him upon a note of nd for 100!., an account, comprehending items to the amount of M., and a general charge of 700/. for board, lodging. and maintenance during a series of years. He observed. that it was a case which bad reference to un pleasant family disputes. The Cater Jurracz here interposed, and observed, that if it were a ease that developed family quarrels, sit had, if possible, better be referred to a more private tri- / bumph but the Counsel for the defendant sot cop ula's( Mr. het)eant Ons Low continued his address. He stated that, undoubtedly, the defendant was entitled. if she Bused proper, to have the cause publicly heard; for his own part, be thought the digression was one which bad better not be brought before the public. He stated, that the more considerable part of his client's de mand was for four years' board and lodging at the plain tiff's seat at Henley Castle, in the county of Worcester, where the plaintiff at that time resided in *state of very considerable affluence and prosperity. The defendant. who was a young lady of high hopes sad expectations, remained at his house during the period in question, en joying all the advantages his rank in society afforded ler. She had the use of his carriages and horses, went to all the places of fashionable resort—in the summer to Cheltenham, and other watering places, and; in short, lived in the style of a young lady of fortune and fashion. It was not more than she was entitled to from her birth, and the former situation of her fetidly ; but it was gm. re:tunable she should expect to enjoy those advantages at the expense of the plaintiff. He should have considered her as a lady of too proud a spirit to be indebted to any individual for her support. The plaintiff had married her sister, and by a strange reverse of fortune, had falls, from a state of alluence to one of adversity and distress: he was no longer able to support his former establish. meat, but, on the contrary, had been obliged to retire, from economical motives, into France. He naturally expected that, upon this change in his condition, Miss glover, the yonng lady whom he had so long befrieml ed, would, when she bad it in her power, have paid the debt she had contracted. She was perfectly able to dis. barge the debt, for she had since married a Geodesists of a very large fortune. It was not to be contest's& that the plaintiff was bound to maintain the defendant in a stile of extravagance, for no other reason them be cause she was hiswife's sister. With regard I. that part of the demand which emulated of the mote of beads he could not conceive any possible defence that could be brought forward. as little answir could be e'en to the account which bad scantily been settled by herself. With respect to the principal demand for her mainte nance, the Jury would be the most competent judges. Sorely they could not consider that, for the board and lodging or a young Lady, moving is an elegant sphere of life. with horses and carriages at her command, 130 L a year too much. The Learned Serjeant said he should prove the ease, which, he had no doubt, would entitle prove tb. ease, wldelu, he had no doubt, would entitle biw to a verdict. A gentleman of the name of Benson was called, who proved that this young lady had livid with the plaintiff at Healey Castle during the period stated by the Learn ed Se ''cant • that she livedin a very genteel style, and he had beard her express her anxiety to relieve the weight on her mind in consequence of the expense to which she had put her brother-in-law. This witness Conidered that the charge of 1501. a year was very mo derate. taking his criterion from the charge usually made at boarding-houses. After some other witnesses were examined, among whom was the Duke of Devonshire, whose opinion was, that the defendant was living on the footing of friend- Mr. SerjeantXi addressed the Jury on the part of the defendant : and he submitted, that the demand at tempted to be suede by the plaintiffon the defendant was ene which was not originally intended to be considered as a debt ; but it was an attempt by a reined man to ob tain money from his wife's relative, and to assist his own affair*. It was a demand which was neither fair nor mmtrahle, and was not one which a brother ought to pay. There bad been no agreement Into that the young lady should be in ly on the condition of her paying fur lodging. The true state of the present ease clearly laid before the Jury, if the nio alant hail been living ; but the plaintiff, had for inane terms stood rrsdy for postponed ir, because be knew that the THE STA' evidence of the mother would pat au end le his hopes of obtaining a verdict. The mother had lately died, and it was because her testimony was new removed that the plaintiff bad ventured to bring his cease late Court. The Noble witness who bad been called last en the part of the plaintiff, had proved that she was living in his family on the terms of a sister, and that she appeared to be one of the family. The question wadi be, whether there was'any engagement actually made, or implied, that this young lady was to be charged foe her mainten ance; even if it had been so intended, which he should clearly prove was not the case, how could the plaintiff presume to chair her for a style of living which be was sot smiled to have assumed himself? For during the period she was living in his family, his affairs were sus tained by fallacious means, which he mast have known. Mr. Saunas:. ()snow replied. He examined the evidence on both sides; and contended, that the letters written by the plaintiff from France by se means went to impeach or contradict the testimony given by Mr. Benson, expressive of the defendant's analety to dis charge her obligation . He insisted, that the motive by which be avoided asking her for payment, and merely soliciting her to obtain a lean for him from another per son, was, because he was apprehensive, that if he urged her to pay a sum of money so considerable as be wanted, it would have been injurious to her affairs and the pros pects she had in view at that period. Chief 4pstiee DALLAS, in addressing the Jury, went over the ilhole of the evidence. In the first plate, re ferring to the general charge for board sad mainte-1 eases, he would admit. for the sake of the observation, that the charge was correct, but then it did sot follow he ear means, that the charges made at boarding-houses I at saeh e expensive places as 4:heltenham, ought to beg , the criterion upon which a person. standing in the rela tiou as the defendant which the plaintiff did, ought to charge her. His Aenlship, in alluding to the letter I written from Paris, asked, how it was the plalutiff, Ulm had any direct claim upon the defendant, in the shape of a debt or demand, could have written letters to her couched is such terms? Was it possible, if she had been his debtor, he would'hase enclosed a letter to he shown to another person, for the purpose of obtaining a lean on his behalf'? Would heviot rather have said to! her, that he insisted upon her applying to her friends, in order to get the 1.101 sheowed him upon the note of hand and the settled account, to say nothing of the Ke strel demand, which it was now conteaded she was lia ble to pay? It would beifor the Airy to consider, in the Grit place, for whom the verdict on ht to be—whether for the plaintiff or the defendant. If for the defendant, the cause would terminate upon their prononaciag their verdict; hut if for the plaiutiff, thee it would became a question how much he would have a right to recover. It did appear to him, that as far as respected the note of hand, the plaintiff was entitiAlto recover, netwithstand lag what had been inferrA with respect to the motives i which induced the defendant od her sister M sign it.— This was no proocpf the fact. ine same observation ,in his opinion, applied ti the account stated. 'I here were in that account several items of sums of money kruiehed the de fendant; she a ppeared to have adinitteer liability to pay the I items in the account; however she might censidi-r herself discharged by these cireametances with which, though she herself might be well acquainted, there had sot been suffirietft proofs of them laid before the Jury to warrant the conclusion, that the money jleintioned in the account was not due. His Lordship !therefore repeated, that it seemed to him the plaintiff was entitled to recover to the extent of 1501 i but the meet important part of the came related to Ihdfliard and lodging. Upon this point Jure was no proof whatever of any previous contract. or agreement. by which the plaintiff's sister-in-law promised to pay for her support while she remained at her brother's limns. It appeared, en the tontratv. from evidence which was indisputable, that the plaintiff hail received the lady into his family upon an express arrangement and anaerstanding that he was to provide for her at his own expose* till her i deceased father's affairs should be adjusted; a n d it had been proved by several witnesses , that her father's af fairs never hail been settled; in fact, there was bsbility of his debts being paid. The circa 'it the case themselves appeared to show the improbability of the plaintiff's ever intending to make any charge; for it appeared he was living in the style oia man of Ihrtane, and the defendant was the sister of his wife, a /Nag lady without any means of her own at the time. He had her before her father's death, and It was per fectly natural that, finding her unprovided for. be I ahmild have confirmed her on the same footing she had Sued with him before. It appeared, also, that there had bees a meeting of the family for the purpose of providing for the mother, and that the defendant, who bed received a portion of 3,0001. with the eldest daughter, had agreed to advance the sum of 501. towards the im mediate sup port of the mother. Was it possible to suppose, that when be witnessed this scene of distress in the family of the lady, that he could have continued her under' his roof upon any other footing than that of affection and brotherly kindness? Could it be suppoeed that any honour able man would, at such a period, have opened a contract with a young unprotected female. to make haply 1501. a year for her board and lodging, that female &Jag the near relative of his wife. All this did seem to him to be extremely improbable. The plaintiff knew perfectly well during the time she was residing with him, that she had no means of paying him. It did not a v that her residence in his family at all increased his erases. He was not a person who was letting lodgings sad making money by his house. The horses and carriages were for his own accommodation. and all that appeared was, that the defendant bad the occasional see elf them as any other visitant most likely would have had. At length the plaintiff unfortunately fell into a stab of em barrassment, and haying first gone to the Kjairs Bench, bad afterwurds retired** retie. It was preheat during the period of his distress that this demand nit the e2 A Lady was conceived—eery likely suggest by , sons supposed change which was likely to take place as her prospects and fortune. But from the hour that she en tered his house to the year 1816, no demand had ever been made upon her, until finding himself is the very abyss of poverty, he had applied to her for assistance in procuring the sum of 100/. for him, to be advanced, not by herself, but by some other person. Such were the probabilities of the ease; but the brother of the de fendant had spoken most distinctly to the terms upon which his sister was received by the plaintiff. His Lord ship said, it appeared to him that there was so contract,• express or implied, and that the demand for 7501. was an after-thought of the plaintiff, with a view to relieve himself from Isis distresses. With respect m the note and the arrount, his Lordship repeated his "Islam that the plaintiff was entitled to them. The Jury retired, and after consulting nearly as hour • brought in a verdict for the plaintiff of 1501. being the amount of the note of hand, rejecting altogether the claim fur board and lodging. Thursday night Mr. Samuel Taylor. of L'pper York. stmt. Paddington, on his wa y home from Sadler's wells Theatre, was stopped in the Now-road, by two fel lows with large sticks, who with dreadful irapreeutions demanded his money. Mr. Taylor katmediately gave them his watch, and what money he NW *boot bias, which was a Z. note and I 4abillingr in attar ; they then tied his hands behind his hark, threatening his Are if he gave any earm, and effected their escape.

The complaisant stated, that on Tharsday night, about seven o'clock, a patient was brought in. and a considerable crowd (as is usually the case) followed. amongst whom were observed a number of what are called" body snatchers," whom the surgeons had long discomatenataced.

The prisoner, during the whole time, was very active; he gave the complainant two most despe rate blows in either eye, which closed them up in a twinkling, and when down kicked him about the sides and back, till he was so exhausted as to be unable to move. A posse of watchmen were procured. who suc ceeded is taking the prisoner into custody, aid, after considerable dilliculty, dispersing the rioters.

A letter from Bauguodee, dated May '33, in a lam Caketra Journal, contains the following .hoeing recital "About five o'clock in the afternoon of Tuesday the 20th instant, some of my *eremite came tanning into the room in the greatest alarm. saying that an Mister had just taken away a boy about fourteen veers of age, froze one of the ghants near the house. Every body near the place were seen running to the_gbaut, to which place I proceeded in company with I Oentlernatt, as fast as pos sible, in the hopes of rendering some assistance. A little after we arrived at the river side, some one amongst the vast numbers of natives collected, cried oat, that he could see it. and on looking down the river, at a abort distance, we clearly saw the alligator with the boy is his month ; shortly after which lie disappeared, thee rose again, and elevating himself with his head out of the water three or four feet, he still held the boy in his mouth by the hand, and tossed him from one side to the other in the air with the greatest violence and rage; then dashed him on the surface of the water, with the hope, as we supposed, of dislocating his bones, the more easily to gorge him. This he repeated several times, but nothing at the moment could be done. In the hope of saving the boy's life every thing was thought of recover the body, and people were sent off for tishermea residing near the place ; but above an hour expired before they came with the boats and drain-lines. On their arrival, we provided them with these, in the hope of ob. Seining the boy, and after dragging with the line up and down the river near the place where they were last sees, we succeeded in hooking up both boy and alligator. The latter, however, made kis escape but the body of the boy was secured, and though dreadfully mangled with the loss of head and shoolders, was brought on shore, and delivered to the parents for banal. The boats were again seat out, and again ought the alliga tor ; hut in drawing him to the surface of the water to harpoon him, he broke the lines, and got away a second time. It being then very late in the evening. sethiug more could be done, hut the fishermen requested to attend the next morning to make another attempt.

LIGHT BREAD. ----- Woneute-Svairv.--Several informations had latel bee. eshilikod at this 011ionagainetthe ostlers [ of ligh bread, and a number of persons of that description had been convicted is mitigated penalties for selling bread deficient in weight. It was, however, intimated to the informers, that their attention would be more service ably applied to the conviction of the bake% instead of the sellers, who might in some cues err from ignoranse. One of the informers observed, that the bakers in ge neral were too sly fur them. On Saturday, however, a baker, of the name of John Borman, appeared before Rosser Berm., &R., charged upon information pre ferred by William Johnson, for selling four half quart ers loaves deficient is weight fourteen ounces. William Johnson, the informer, stated, that he west to Borouian's shop, and asked for four half-joiners loaves, which were delivered to him, and he paid for them. He then desired the defendant to weigh them in his presence. The defendant would have vg4hed them all together, but Johnson insisted upon their being weighed separately. The baker went for the weights, and on his return weighed two of theta together, and I observing they were deficient in weight, be soli, " I vie now what you are, but I shall make op the deli- 1 ciency." and threw in a roll for that purpose. Johnson told hint that be did not buy the roll, but the loaves only. The honest baker would have gladly persuaded him to take back his money, and not to have the bread, but Joliqson having paid for the loaves, insisted " he 1 would have the loaves, and nothing hut the loaves."
