Mr..SCARLIITT rose to address the Joey for the de. feminist. His Learned Friend had not endeavoured to excite their feelings in the openieg, bat no doubt would in reply. Here was a disappointed lady, who had been twice a widow, and waited to .ntarty a third time. He did not think any man would give a thousand pounds to marry a woman who had already buried two husbands. The fact of the instrument was as stated—a blank power of attorney for her to dispose of this house, which was purchased for her in the defendant's name. ►t was siegularithaka woman'sbould barge promise of marriage iniher own band, signed by the man. It was not truethat be received money from the father, or that be had given the money to purchase the house, in which she was only defendant's tenant ; and it was true he arrested her for rent. It was likewise true, in case of his death; he in tended to make a conveyamse of his house to her, fur which this blank signature was given. It was slot ksown whether the husband (M'Pherson) was li►ing or dead. Mr. Anotrotte here represented he had a certificate from the Governor and Rector of St. Vincent's, that he died in 1821. Mr. SCARIATT said, in that case be would admit she was a widow. Rut he had the evidence of Mr. Sergeant Rough, who held the office .of Judge of Demerara— that ii`Pherson was a poor man, without the means of advascing 5001. to the wife. He should prove that she was a woman of infinite intrigue. The Learned Oetteml bad heard often of promises of marriagegiven by sailors .on the Point of Portsmouth, but sever knew of these promises being enforced in Courts of Justice. Several witnesses having been called to impugn the respectability of the plaintiff's character, The LORD CHIRP JUSTICE summed up, and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 5001. and mists. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Jax. 21. cnutteniNlC Mr. Serjeant PILL stated that this was an action to recover compensation a far as damages could be a com pensation, for an injury q( a most serious nature. The defendant was the proprietor of several coaches running between Uxbridge and London, and be was reqni red in this action to answer for the.improper conduct of his servant. Tha plaintiff was a Gentlemen in mercantile life, and having occasion to go down to Hanwell, a vil lage on the Uxbridge road, he took his place by one of the defendant's coaches, and engaged it to cell for him i■ the evening, to return to town. At the time appoint. ed the coach called, and the plaintiff and two other gen tlemen seated themselves on it. The plaintiff, who sat on the box, observed, that the person who then drove the coach was not the Irma! driver, but appeared to be a borsekeeper. Two of the horses were very spirited, the coachman began driving them very furiously, and though frequently desired to refrain from doing so, he urged them to the most rapid speed ; in turning a corner of t►e road, the coach was upset, and the plaintiff and other persons were thrown from the coach with great violence. The plaintiff's leg was broken, his sock dislo cated, and hie shoulder hurt to such an extent, that he would be able wholly to recover from the effects of the injury. The defendant's ownership of the coach was admitted and the facts proved as stated, Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN admitted. that the defeedent was in law responsible for the improper coadact of his servant, but it was for the Jury to say to what extent of damages they thought him liable in this case. lo ap pertioniag the damages, they would tamper jostle, with mercy, remembering that it was for another's miseondect the defendant was now called apes to an swer. Mr. Justice PANIC charged the Jury, who returned a verdict for the plaiatiff.—Deutages, 2301. OLD BAlLEY—Tamper.

Mr. Price, the Parish Clerli of t. Dunstan's, Step• ney, produced the register of the second marriage with S. Dudnasok. Prisoner, when called upon for his defence, entered into a long history of the persecutions he had endured from his first wife, and stated that, on one occasion, a few days only after they were married, she Jumped out of bed without his having given her the slightest pro vocation, seised a child's chair, and threatened to beat it about his head. She then threw the said chair at his bead, and not content with having made this un provoked attack upon him, new to the fire place, seized the poker, and began to pummel him without mercy.— She then desired him to get up as she wanted to adren al' ant, and actually seised altnife for that purpose,— He then jumped out of bed, fearing from her violent conduct that she intended to pet her threat into exceu• lion, called up the mother, and related to her the cruel treatment he hail received from her daughter. This, however, instead of proving as he hoped the means of quieting the lady, increased her choler to such a degree that he was compelled to make a hasty retreat. He did not see her for two or three months after. wards, when he called upon her fur the pout o r pu t : rifepernod posing terms of peace. He however, n her indisposed to hear him, but prepared to ma e ano ther attack upon him, upon which he left her with a de- , termination to get a partner who would use him more kindly. The Recorder told him it was unnecessary for him to occupy the attention of the Court with a history of his sufferings from the ill conduct of his first wife.— If be had any thing to say . to the offence with which be was charged, the Court would hear him. The prisoner said be had nothing more te say. A great many respectable witnesses gave the prison. er an excellent character fur general good conduct. The Jury found him Guilty, and he was immediately sentenced to 6 months imprisonment, and kept to hard Labour. A trial of much impertsnce to the public came on a'. the Old Bailey on Friday evening last. before the it ECORDZR, which a press of matter has since hindered the report of it appearinc.

After a trial whi.:ll ocmpied the Court from five o'clock till 10, the Jury consulted for a few tuinutes, and returned a verdict bf Guilty against both the prisoners. The Recoanza.—Let the prisoners be brought up for judgment. He then addressed each of them at lenlrth, end observed that It was Impossible far 12 men to doubt upon the evi dence; their eases were of tea utmost Importance to the public, and deserving of the highest punishment the law could inflict ; and as by a recent act of Parliament the Court had the power of extending the punishment assigned by tile ,old law, he should senteree the prisoner Warman for 14 years' trenspbriatton, and the prisouer Meted to be trans ported for seven yeri rt.
