Possession, and said to be from the pep of Mr. JAIRNSON, was produced on Saturday night. Though by no means one of the best of this Gent l em an's productions, it is likely. after some al terations, to have a successful run. Its general tea description, which is supposed the t o re is of that Reit best adapted io.the constitution of. Summer Theatres. There are a few jokes too gross for the modern taste, and a few too illiberal to be pleasing at any time ; but when those are expunged, as we make no doubt they will be on the nett representation, there is suf• firient liveliness and bustle in the Drama' to entitle the Author t o a conliseance of that encouragement . which he has hitherto received from the Politic. To sum op its merits and defects in a few words—it is a production well calculated to amuse an idle hour; but those who possess a moderate acquaintance with the Stage, must not expect to have the present stock of their ideas much enlarged by any thing in the shape of humour, sentiment, or character, which is here presented to t heir notice. The plot is compli trotted in itself, and the manner in which it is con. ducted, and the multitude of personages with vetch it is Whetted, render it still more per. plesiug and confused. But•what it lost in, sim. plicity and perspiceity by this means, it gained in bustle and variety. The following will give a suffi (jell, notion of the plot :—Crafty (BA RNARD), for merly the servant of a deceased man of fortune, na med Feeble, keeps possession of his hoes., and re presents tlischis master is still living. He form will in his own favour, and is countenanced scheme by a drunken fellow servant (lawrow) finally deserts him and discloses his villainy. fillre• chubby (Mrs. DAVENPORT), with her son Peregrine Chubby (Toe etes(), being relatives of the deceased Gentleman, are very importunate to be admitted late his house. Crafty uses all his arts to exclude them,- but they are at length introduced through the bung.; ling of his drunken associate. There is another plot, whether principal or secondary it is hard to determine. The lion. Mr. llairbrain (JONES), in lose with Min Liquorice (Miss MATHEWS), follows her to her relation's house, whither also hit father, Lord Liquorice (Russet), pursuether with the same view of offering his hand in marriage. The son is naturally preferred by the young Lady, and as she proses in the end to be the heiress of the late Me. feeble, her relative, the Noble Lord consents to her union with his son. In addition to the parts already mentioned, Mr. Teens sustained that of Mr. Pre cise, a Police Magistrate, and Mr. T. Russet that of a Police Officer, and both with great effect. Mr. JONES'S part afforded him little opportunity of dis play. Mr. LISTON'S gave him little further scope than that of appearing drunk ; but the outline was enough, and with scarcely any assistance from the dialogue, he looked, and dressed, and laughed, and hiccupped in such a manner, as rendered him a very prominent personage in the dramatic group. Mr. TOR ELLIN character was, perhaps, upon the. whole, the best:. seta as the author is concerned, and the performer deserves praise for the felicity with which he imbibed its spirit. Some opposition was mani fested early in the course of the piece, but it was directed against those indelicate allusions which we do not expect to hear repeated. At the conclusion, a slight contest took place, but the friends of the poet succeeded, and we anticipate a still more deci sive victory on their part when the necessary omis sions are made in the repetition. A MOST AITECTING AND MYSTERIOUS CASE.- I'Ve rejoice to announce that soother individual has been rescued from an ignominious death by the be nevolent interposition of those friends to humanity, the lion. Mr. Bennett and Alderman Wood, under • the following circumstances :—ln March last, is the above Gentlemen were investigating the mile of the boys Kelly and Spicer, a young man, named George Matthews, who was then recently convicted of a capital offence, for robbing his master, addressed _them.; and, from the communications he made, they were impressed with an idea of his innocence; %whereupon Mr. Alderman Wood undertook to in vestigate the mysterious transaction, and' he devoted several days in examining various persons acquainted with (acts connerird with the young man's case, and the result decidedly proved his innocence. Upon this, Alderman Wood had all the evidence collected, Wad a memorial prepared and laid before Lord Sid mouth. The unfortunate lad remairted.confined in irons in the condemned cells, mixed with filons of the worst description, for nearly three mouths, until the worthy Alderman, at his own risk, ordered his irons to be taken oil', and he was removed, to another part of the prison, and placed among a better class of prisoners. Thus had this young man, 'though ultimately proved innocent, snd with the best of cha racters froth all the respectable families where he had lived, been tried, sentenced to die, and confined in the prison of Newgate near seven months, when on the Recorder's making his last report, a day or two since, his Royal Highness the Prince Regent was - most graciously pleased to grant him a free pardon. Comsuternot4 or TIMEER.—The extreordinary number of 7,300 trees was used in this yard (Ply- Mouth), between January end December, 1817. The quantity of timber on hand is now rather scanty, but the contractors have orders to send in supplies im mediately. Timber k expected from Dalmatia, and even from Africa: The utmost economy in the con version of wood is observed, and the present system of working by the piece bas a tendency, not only to diminish its consumption, but to ensure the most ex. prlitious methods of completing the respective jobs. Punt LISTIC INTELLIDENCE.—The completion of the stakes of '2OO guineas aside between Painter and .Spring, for their great match on the 7th of August, is to be made good at Belcher's, Castle Tavern, Hol born, on Friday evening nest. The following new matches are also expected to be made at the Fives' Court, to-morrow.:—Davis, who remedy defeated Belasco, against Randall, for 2001. a-side ; Cab bage for 1001. a-side with Scroggins; Young George Nichols, of 9st. 21bs. against Hudson (the conqueror of lVesi Counirg Dick), for 1001. a-side. Isle of Wight Hail, and Martin the baker, for 1001. ao,i(ie. Oliver is quite recovered, and a second match with Neale is talked of.

GVIILDUALL.—Fridny a young man of genteel appearance, named Ashton. was brought before Mr. Alderman Woo°, at Guildhall, charged with an assault upon Sarsh Taylor. In the receress of the esatnintrion. however, it turned out that he had set ape's by three or four vile women, and some pick pockets, who infest the upper part of Fleet-street, near Shire lane. 'I hey were assisted by a watchman, named John Alder, stationed in the neighltunrhood, who, like many more of his brethren, is place of being a source of security, are only ne cotnplices in robbery, and the hirelings of prostitutes. Ashton was beaten in a most cruel manner: and robbed of a five wuld note, two one pound notes, and four shillings in silver. Upon . intimating what had happened to . him, he was inunediately called from the bar. and his accusers, Sarah Taylor and the worthy guardian of the night, to take Ids place. The young man stated, that he was going up Fleet-street at an early hour on Friday morning, and upon arriving at the court next to Temple-bar, was suddenly seized by three or four women. who pinioned him so closely as to deprive his arms of all power. Whiteln this upte airflow, who had the appear ance of a Jew, and whom the women cants] by the name of Joe. came up and gave him a violent • blow on the face. which brought him to the ground. The watchman. Alder, who it ap peared had witnessed the transaction from the commencement, refused to take charge of the Jew, but insisted upon conveying Mr. Ashton to the watch-house, whom, while he lay upon the ground. the ruffian struck several times with a bludgeon. The women and pickpockets were not idle in the mean time. They indicted so many wounds upon his face that it was completely disfigured with scars nod blood. Having rendrred him as they thought quite seaseleis, this gang of villains, assisted by the. w atchman, dragged him along the ground op Sbire-lane, where r they repeated their violence. Upon searching his pockets he found that every halfpenny he had was mkt-Dewey. He was then brought hack into Fleet-street. and conveyed to St. Dun stan's watch-house, where he was toned tip, and continued bleeding all night. The unforintinte young man appeared quite faint, and in so deplorable a condition as to excite the pity of every person present. , A Mr. Hathaway and hi . wife , tw o r es p ectable lookin g p er mos who happened to be ',moue when the attack was first made .• wpses Mr. Ashton. fatly corroborated his statement, and ideal'.

They were imme.qately taken into custody.and the . whole ordered to be brought up fur another examination. Saturday the Prisoners were again twilight np, when Iwo of them were remanded on the charge of felony, and the rest were ordered to dad bail for the assault. • _____ _._ _. _ . _ _ On Friday morning, a young woman, servant to ' Mr. Williams, of Foe-lane, Shadwell, went out on an errand, and left the hall-door ajar ; on her return, in a few minutes, she met a fellow. coming out with a bundle under his arm ; having no suspicion (bathe was a thief, she did not speak to him, but went in ; wbe., she discovered that a valuable great coat was stolen from clothes' peg , which hung in the passage. They pursued the thief to no purpose.

The Plaintiff is a linen-draper, and the Defendant a Saddler, at St. Albans.—l i t appetrid that some lime since the Plaintiff became elinbarrassed in his circumstance', and called his creditors to gether. Previous to this his father-in-la*, a Mt.

Mr. Wall was called to prove the fed, and it ap peared from his statement, that all the parties were well acquainted with each other, and that the De. fondant and himself met very frequently at a dissent.

On return's' nue evening from the Meeting, Mr. Wood caotiona hit against getting into further trouble respecting Frost, said he was sorry for Frost, but not for his wife, as her conduct was most shameful, and in every body's mouth.-0a his ctoss-examination, he admit. ted that unpleasant reports regarding his daughter had been Very prevalent in the town, ,end he did not believe that he was actuated by any malicious motive its repeating the expressions. He thought, on the contrary; it arose from friendship, end a desire to do a service rather than an evil.

She observed a white skim upoit the btoth she skimmed riff, and tasted the brot, and which tasted very ill in her mouth. She made no remark, because she thought At hid taken a spoon used for her husband's medi cines. She got a clean spoon, and took a little ost.. meal to thicken the broth. The Prisoner then got up and . went out. She tasted the broth again, mint it had the dame effect as before. She asked her fathei to taste it and Heir; ell were affected 'by It. She had not taken above a table spoonful. She felt a vio lent pain at her itomich, which continued till twelve o'clock et night. She pot the hrdth Intb a dial*, and saved it for Mr. Sedgewick.

Mr. Sedge wick saw it neat Morning, and in consequence of hid advice, she took it to Knaresboroogh, to Mr. Lam bert, the druggist, and left it with him. It was not till after the broth we taken to Mr 4 Lanibert; that the looked at the medicine in the drawer Which had Sickened her husband on the 261 h March. She deli= vered It to Mr. Sedgewick. 'I wo or three days after wards she received a parcel from Thomas Haw, With two seals, directed to Mr. Murray at lismresbotough. She sent it to him by John Haw. Thomas Dodswnrth, the fist witoess's father, rust the Prisoner at Westfield-gate, to I alto medicine front him. There was no one With him or with the Pri.. soner. Ile did slot see Robert Nicholton. He got a bottle from him ; he said it was to be shaken Op.— Witness gave it to his daughter-in-law in the tam 4 state in which he got it. The Prisoner; *hen he came into the kitchen, ticked within* shoot the broth s and witness said nothing about it. His daughter gave him the broth to tette. It did riot taste well : he was not well, but no way that he might call Airily: Ile had tasted very little of the broth. Wind given no directions to buy poisob for rate. He had never ordered to buy any. Cvoss-esarnined by the Cotanv.-4le believed the Prisoner was about half an hoot in the kitcheo,witen the broth was on the fire. Witness wallirelent sit the time. There was no cover on the pan: He saw no one putting any thing into it. He thotight the Prisoner could not put any thing into it without his seeing him. lie believed that he put nothing into it, and thought it was not possible he could. Mr. Sedgewick visited Dodsworth on the 26th:— Ile had sent him some medicine on the fanner day. There was nothing in it to occasion sickness. Dods= worth said he had been afflicted the day before with sickness and vomiting, sad told him the medi cine he had sent had relieved him. The symp.: toms were those of a person affected in the sto mach and bowels. Arsenic would have pro. dieted exactly the same appearances. Ile went home and made up some more medicines ; the milt- Sure was a saline mixture, coloured with lavender; it was 4 scruples of prepared kali, which was a sub. carbonate of potash, 2 ounces of concrete acid of lemon, 2 drachms of sweet spirits of nitre, and half drachm of tincture of lavender, and mixed in 4 otinort of water. There was nothing in it to occasion sick.- neis, or to create sediment. He gave it to the Pri soner, but gave no direction whatever. There was DIV Cover on the cork. He found the Prisoner next day much worse, with all the symptoms which wqnlfi have been produced if he hail taken mineral' poison in the mean time. On the 3d of April he saw. the bottle again in the possession of Anne Dodsworth.— About half had remained. It was quite different from what he had given. The colour at the top woe not altered,- but there was a sediment et the bottom ; he 'took some of the sediment, and put It on hot iron ; it smelled like gorlick. Ile took the bottle home, and 'Meet, it up with a little ammotnia, with the nitrate of silver. This produced a yellow salphur.toloured precipitate. Ile believed a decoction of onion would have produced the same effect as well as arsenic. Ile *could rather leave the thymic.' evidence to Dr. Murray. His own conclusion was, that arsenic had been put into it. lie sent it to Dr. Murray, having milted it with water only in order to get the sediment ell out of the original bottle. He was present when Dr. Murray and Mr. Limbed examined it. lie was able to say that arsenic was detected in its me tallic state. Dr. Murray, a doctor of physic: In Knaresborough4 -, visited Dodsworth on the dill olispril. Ilistonguewee entered with a thick w iiiirtcerf, greater than the de. • gree `of fever warranted, from which he inferred something acrimonious in the alimentary canal.— Arsenic produces pale in the pit of the stomach, fever, and diarritcel. Dedsworth's appearance was certain. • ly that of a person effected by Mineral poison. There was nothing specific, forthe effects of mineral poison and of acrid bile were eery similar. The paralytic disorder which af f ected Dodiworth's extremities was very ordinarily a secondary effect of mineral poison. In his opinion decidedly there was arsenic in the bottle which he examined In pretence of Mr. Sedge wick and Mr. Lambert. There *es the oard of arsenic, it was not metallic arsenic, forover that was not - soluble. There was such a thing Vs dosing, of ' which the effect was to prevent the poison from act. ing by exciting immediate vomiting. Ile had eat. mined the broth, which also contained arsenic. - Ile bid no doubt whatever as to the presence of arsetlio in both ~ ...sses. • Mr. Lambert cdneurred in this evidence. so o .l c o r h i n e l- n l q a u w i r gave e t s h pec e s t e i m n; thedreannc e w a k s ic h to c the oa ta contained A . . - . . . , . . •••• . . • ' titgrfrr itgi ll i t iN •`.

William Bailey, otherwise Knighstei, aged 27, was charged with hoeing administered poison with intent to kill Joseph Dodsworth, his brother-in-law. Mr.WILLIA sts opened the case for the prosecution. Joseph Dodsworth was called into Court ; end gave his evidence'sitting. lie lived at Aikendele in the beginning of March last. His father, Thomas Dodsworth, has only two childven—witness and the Prisoner's wife. His father hes some property in lend. Witness married at Christmas last, when the Prisoner, who had till then lived in his father-in law's house, removed to a separate house. On the 25th of March witness and the Prisoner, had gone together to Boroughbridge. On their way homewards the Prisoner presented a piece of roll of bread to witness, desiring him to eat it. Witness remarked! some' black particles in the roll, and Pa mper said that it had not been well baked. They afterwards separated, and when witness had gone about two miles, he felt a sudden swelling, sickened, and was attacked with a violent pain in his stomach. He made his way to George Jackson's, at Knares borough. He lay sick in his stable. Mint water was given to him. ' He continued very ill, end was carried home to his father's. The Prisoner came into his room ; witness's father and wife were present. — The Prisoner seemed to pity him very much. They sent him fur some mint-water, but the witness was then so ill, that he could now give no account of that. He took the mint.water, and threw it up again.--A Doctor was sent for that gvening. Thomas Haw, who had been sent for the Doctor, brought back a pill and a draught, both of which the witness took. It did him good. The Prisoner came again next morning to ask him how he did. Something was said about sending for medicine. Prisoner said he was going to Boroughbridge for coals, and he, would carry medicine to Westfield-gate, where witness's father was to take it from him, and carry it to the witness. This was done. The medicine was shaken up. There was a powder to be taken with the draught. He flung it op again as soon as he got it.— He was to take it every (Our hours. lie took it three times, and always with the same effect. The Prisoner came in at night, expressed much sorrow, and pitied him very much. lle got more medicine next day, which his wife gave him. It did him good. Ile was long very ill, and out of his mind apiece. Cross-examined by Mr. CROSS.— Ile said they were good friends. His stomach was first affected after eating the bread. He did not till two or three days afterwards think that the breed was the cause. lie had eaten MI breakfast at• seven that meriting. lie had been ill some time before. lie could not tell what his complaint had been. He had then required no Doctor. lie had given the Prisoner some time be fore a promissory note for 601. which be owed to him. It was not hitherto paid. It Was not payable till after his father's death. Exemined by the COURT.—He said Ms father*s property consisted of about 11 acres , in land. it was to come in his futher's heirs. Anne Dodsworth, wife of former witness, was marriedlast Christmas. Her husband was carried home about five o'clock on the 25111 Marsh. ..'l'he Prisoner came soon 'afterwards with some mint-water in a pitcher. Witness poured it into a tea-cup, and said it looked very thick and muddy : he said that the woman from whom he get it had teemed (emptied) it from the bottom of what she had it in, and said it was all she had. Ile told her to put some mar in it, and stir it well, and give it to her husband, for it would do him good. It made her husband very sick. She sent Ilaw for the Doctor. flew brought some medicine ; and a bolos. It seemed to give him ease. , Mr. Sedgewick, the Doctor, came nett day, and or dered same person to be sent after him for medicine. The Prisoner came in afterwards, and she said to him that she had to send some person to Boroughbridge far medicine. He said that he would bring it to West field-gate, 'and her father-in-law should meet him there, as Ire was going to Knaresborough with coils. Her father.in-lew brought a battle and half a dozen powders; .it was a clear medicine, *ilk some white powder at the bottom. The cork was not tied; • there was no distinct parer •attached to it. Her fs. ther.in.lavrdirected her to shake it up; she did so, and gave two table spoonfuls of it to her husband ; she repeated this at intervals twice ; it sickened him every time. She sent Tho Mas Steel for more media cine that day; he brought some small bottles; she gave this draught to her husbeuti- , -it used him it once. • Some doubt was occasioned as to the eaandastioo 1 - 06.... t .. 01 , 11 . 061 ,. t r F .
