He had seen him go by.the side of the cart, pulding the horses with a whip, in the manner of a caster. which was his chief occupation when be was in the country. Witness deposed to a conversation he bad with Lord 'Portsmouth last July, when his Lordship gave us a loge history of the ill treatmeot which he bad re *"..ived at Edinburgh.

Mr. Justice Barr was then tailed and examined.—Erep related to the Grantley family. After the death of the'Deliel of Exeter, became a trustee to the estate of the Earl of Portsraouth. About this time his Lordship recommended Mr. Coombe as a medical man, and qualified in other is sto attend upon his Lordship. Was decidedly of opi nion that the Noble Earl required some person to take care of him. After the death of the lataCountess the Earl came, to town. There was a meeting of the Treatises about . ** state of Lord Portsmouth's tided, or at least it was fre quently the subject of conversation between Lord &motley and himself. Witness never ceased to think that it was at. eessary for some person to attend Lord P. Remembered a conversation with Mr. Hanson. On the Friday before Ids Lordship's marriage with Miss Hanson, Lord P. dined wish, him. No conversation than passed relative to the Earl's earnest desire for matrimony. Heard that such things had been mentioned by him. Could not recollect anylnstance of it. Had a conversation with Mr. Hanson respecting the state of Lord Portsmouth's mind on the Friday precedes the marriage. Had many opportunities of observing the smodect of Lord P. Believed him to be utterly incapable of managing any Important affairs. In point of capacity he ' was not superior to a boy of 8 or 9 years of age. W treated vivify he returned it like a boy. When treated with what he conceived to be hsrehness he sulked and cried 1114 " a child. At table and in general intercourse he condo himself like a gentleman. On his cross-examination, Mr. Justice Best stated that Lord P. had voted in the beam of Lord's on the Queen's ' trial, and had signed a deed appointing trustees to his estate previous to his first marriage. Lord P. appeared to have a sense of religion. Charles Lee was next examined—Was a servant in the family of Lord P. since 1800. The house affairs were always managed by Lady Portsmouth. Lord P. was never allowed to meddle with those affairs, but was allowed money. Job o Barriston examined by Mr. BROVOIIAM —Had been 17 years in the service of Lord P. ; had left his service 13 years; had known his Lordship 30 years. A coachman named George had broken his leg, and was lying on his bed; witness was attending him; Lord P. came into the room, and told George to get up and go to work. George said he could not get up. Lord P. told him he should get up. George repeated that lie conkt mot. His Lordship then threw himself across the legs of George, and witness heard the bone crack. George cried out, and witness told his Lordship that he had broken George's leg again. His Lordship replied that he did not care for that. Witness with great dif ficulty dragged his Lordship from off the bed, and car ried him out of the room, and told him that he had ruined the man. His Lsrdship replied, " I don't care for that." Witness, at the request of the coachman, gave him a broom handle to defend himself with. o.i one occasion his Lordship stood at the porch of the church, and in a great passion told witness that he was a --d rascal, and should not enter. The Rev. Charles MsCarthy, formerly Rector of Whit church, examined—Had risitsd Lerd P. up to the time of the late Lady Portsmouth's death. Lord P. was of a very imbecile mind, On three occasions at funerals, where witness had officiated, Lord P. had appeared as a mourner amongst persons who are far below his rank, and he appeared with a black cloak over his clothes, which were not black. His Lordship cause into the church-yard with the other mourners, and always con -ducted himself Slit b propriety on mach occasions. • Cross-examined by Sergeant PtZt.*-Illffiii 4Wed - ati ' Lord Portsmouth's house, where hie Lordship always 'conducted himself with great ptoptiety, and was parti cularly attentive and poli:e to ladles. Never saw any thing in the conduct of Lord Portsmouth, either at table or elsewhere. which would have induced witness to dia• continue his visits at the house. The conversation of Lord Portsmouth was vague and trifling like . that of a boy. What was his b haviour at Church ? He was very attentive and apparently devout, and sometimes after the sermon he would come up to me, and addressing me by my Christian name, would say to me, ' Charles, we have had a long sermon this morning ; we must have shorter ones."—(Lan h ter.) Sergeant Perhaps his Lordship was not wrong in his j udgment in that particular? Witness.—Why, men will make long sermons as well as long speeches sometimes.—(Laughter.) John Potticary, a butcher a; Wbitchurch, was next called—Lord Portsmouth was very fond of going into witness's slaughter house and knocking down the beasts. i If he knocked down a bullock, he would say, " !turves it right, the vicious toad."—(Laughter.) Joseph Head examined.—Was hired by the late Lady Portsmouth in 1805 or 6, and directed to obey, or not obey, as he pleased, Lord Portsmouth. Witness often refused to obey his Lordship's commands, which were frequently very absurd. Lord Portsmouth would often order witness to blow nut the candles, and leave himself in the dark, and would *gen lock out the servants in the rain to get themselves wet ; would often prescribe doses of jalap, mustard, and pepper, and oblige the servants to take them.. At one time he mixed up a dose of this kind in beer, and held a servant until he drank it ; at another time he prescribed six ounces of jalap to each of the servants, increased the prescription to twelve ounces, and afterwards ordered the dose to be repeated. Witness did not chose to obey orders of this kind; hoard Lord Portsmouth say that he lost his best friend when he lost his late Countess, and t►tat his present Countess treated him like a dog. Adjourned at a quarter past five. COURT OF KIND'S BENCH, F. It. GANSU:VG. 11111 YiNG V. 14.01111 RS AND Dingell. The defendants, Charles Edward Rogiers, Richard Bennett, -- Humphrey, Thomas Carlos, and Freder ick Oldfield, were brought up to receive the judgment of the Court, having been convicted, on the prosecution of a Mr. John Woodroffe, Student of the Inner Temple, of keeping a cotutnon gaming house, In Pall-mall and St. James's-street. The case of Itogiers and Humphrey was heard yester day.—Affidavits were now put in on behalf of the other I defendants in mitigation of punishment, urging that each had a large family, and were in an Mutt state of health. Mr. Cuftwoon and Mr. E. LAW6S addressed the Coart in mitigation of ptinisbusent ; and Mr. C. Putt.- LIPS, with considerable effect, in aggravation. The CouitT deliberated upon the case of each defend. ant for a considerable tithe, and Mr..liwice RITLEY then proceeded to pass sentence.— His Lordship commented upon the tendency of the offence of which the defendants had been convicted. The Court, en der all the circumstances of the case; sectioned the defend ants as follows: Rogien to pay . a tine to the King of 6,0001. and be imprisoned in Cold Rath-fields House of Correction for twelve months; Humphrey to piy a butt of VOUL and to. be imprisoned Jot the same place for two years ; Oldfleld to pay a date of I,flool. and he imprisoned in the King's Bench Prison ; Bennett to pay a fine of 1.00111. and:to be imprison ed in the same [ piece; and Carlos to pay a Ins et 5001. and to be Imprisoned le Cold Bath-fields tot eighteen calendars months, After, the sentence was pronoenard, the Learned judge eaSitt4d; Wet the °ain't Mil net Ueda Mid !Minim a itaistee Royal aseaut.

The defendants bowed. aid were taken away. CRIMINAL INPORMATION. Tag IRMO /AVID LAND!. OR a former day Mr. Campbell obtaiard a rule A s a r i &phial the defendant, a Reverted* Magistrate of the Cortery of Stafford:for an allegetrabuse of his anthority, in committing Zechariah Bolter to Stafford gaol, where' be sow remains a prisoner. The SOLICITOR IiSNERAL and Mr. PEARSON RON showed cause. The case was this :—Zechariah Dulles, Lad been for several years in the service of colliers, ' named Shelden and Foster, and had Incurred a debt with them of 131. and bad agreed to stay in their service an ,llll the money was paid. lo July last, be quitted their service, and went into that of a Mr. Jones, another col lier, of West Bromwich, leaving about 81. of the debt unpaid. Upon this Messrs. Shelden and Forster canoed him to be apprehended and taken before the defendant, by whom he was committed to gaol for two months for deserting his masters' service. At the expiration of that time, he returned to the service of Mr. Jones, with whom be was allowed to stay, upon an agreement that he should pay his former masters 91 a week, until Lis debt was liquidated. In September last, the debt not being liquidated, he was taken up again, but liberated upon a promise to pay the money according to the stipoletion. On the 10th of January, lie was agai - napprehended. the debt not having been paid, and sent again to Stafford gaol, where be new remains. The affidavit of Mr. Lenis, in answer to the tale, denied a corrupt motive on Lis part, and he so• lemnly declared that he considered himself bound by the statutes 20 Oro. 2, and 6 Geo. 3, to commit the pro secutor. by reason that his contract with his former mas ter bad been broken and still remained in force. and t h at by the custom of Staffordshire, where masters advance money to labourers, the Litter are required to continue in their service until the money is paid. Mr. CAMPBELL. with great seal, urged that the doctrine upon which ti a d efend int justified his a onduct was illegal, end could n o t he ju s tified lay the a teutes re ferred to ; but The Covar said, that as the defendant had denied all corrupt motive, and hat solemnly stated that he had acted from a notion that the statutes referred to warranted whit he bad done (in which the Court was incline 1 to agree with him) this rule must be discharged without costs, upon condition that the prosecutor undertook to bring no action. A wri tof Habeas Corpus was then granted to bring up the prosecutor, in order that the legality of his commit ment might be farther considered. • T ATFORAN. . - . . . , . . . . , --. ... - ,hiCiti ' "'"" 's '''- .• sli 'l' o .

MARLBOROUGH STRRlT.—Yesterday, B. r Moore was again brought before %Ir. Dyer, the Sitting Magis trate, on the charge of attacking itlaJor-tieneral Kerr, last Friday cren►ng. in King Street. s'. James's, as the General was reurning to his residence in Bury Street. The General reiterated hit statement, and said the blow was one of the most tremendous be ever received, or ever heard of brine given to any individual. The umbrella thrown away by the prisoner was pro duced; it was a hrayv cotton one, with an iron ferr u l e , which was alightly beat. The prisoner wished to ask General Kerr tome qut s cions ; brine permitte I, he amked whether the General had not pointed out another person in the watchboase as tae matt who struck him ? . _ _ Gen. Kerr replied, he certainly had pointed out a man as of the stature &the ruffian who had struck him; and now, on recollection, be had not the slightest hesitation in s4ying that he (the prisoner) was certainly the man. The prisoner denied that. and said the man who pur sued him was of a very had character. He said he could have no object in striking General Kerr; they were all mistaken ;hea as not the man. . . . The hl;gistrate—But you are positively sworn to by four witresses. General Kerr here observed, that as the man had there ventured to make such an impudent denial of his guilt, he would state, that the prisoner's is ifs came to bun and implored her husband's pardon, at the same moment saying her husband was sorry he bad committed the offence. The Prisoner—Sir, you are mistaken ; my wife said no such thing. I mistook yon for another man who had insulted me. General Kerr observed, he had no enmity towards the unfortunate man; but such was the atrocity of the offer that he felt he owed the public a duty in prosecuting him. That tremendous blow be struck might have hurled him into eternity; and he was afraid that the prisoner, at the moment of the outrage, cared very little whether he had ; murdered him in accomplishing the robbery. The Magistrate thought it was a most atrocious case, and one not heard of some time, as the police, fortunate. ly for the public, were now so established as to prevent such outrages. The prisoner, who is a young m n of rather elegant appearance, but ferocious aspect, was then fully com mitted to Newgate for trial, under the 7th of Gen. 11., for" attacking with intentent to rob and murder." His wife was present, and General Kerr promised her some assistance. _ _ _ Errnaohnntaitv Cass —A young man of fashionable appearance, who gave his name Charles James Ker./bat, was yesterday brought before Mr. Dvsa, at this office, charged with forgery.and horse stealing. Mr. Mann. who keeps a riding school at Brighton, stated that lie had known the prisoner for about a fort night. lodging at the Steyne Hotel, Brighton; he had bn several occasions let him hare a horse on hire. The prisoner paid the first time, but since then had suffered 40 account to run on, to discharge which, and some money lent him, he received from him a few days ago a hill of exchange. Tuesday morning he received a note from the prisoner (which be produced), requesting a horse might be sent hint to take a morning ride, as he had a party of friends to dine with him that day at the hotel. and he had no doubt a ride would give him an appetite. The horse (a valuable one) was accordingly sent, but the day passed over, and eleven o'clock at night arrived a isbout Mr. Mann hearing any tidings of either man or horse. He made inquiry at the Steyne Hotel, where he received information that the prisoner owed them a large bill; . that they hail seen nothing of hint since morning, and that he had ordered no dinner. Mr. Mann instantly started on horseback in pursuit of the fugitive to London, where he arr.ved at six o'clock yesterday morning. As be was proceeding along Holborn, he espied the prisoner mounted upon his horse, riding quite at his ease. He took him into custody, and had him brought to the office, before which the prisoner dispatched Bartlet, the constable, with a bill of exchange for acceptance to the house of Jones, Lloyd, and Co. out of which he told Mr. Mann, if he would drop the business, be would defray all ex peaces; but the reply given to Bartlett by the trenkera wee, ;bat ;be Bill , was altogether a forgery. , The bill, which was produced, purported to be draws by P.

QUltate SQUARE. —Gaols hiP3STURE. nim ntNa I.s.rrsas.—Yesterday a young man of good addles., named Patrick wall", Kelly, .114, John Hall, alias James Johnston, was brought before W. A. A. WHITE, Esq. by Handley the officer, charged with obtaining money from the Nobility and others, under false repre sentations. The only rharce now preferre , l air:tine him w as p ot et the instance of the Hwy. Mr. L•ndun, of the Cloiste rs in tVerminster Abbey, for endeavou ring to impose on him with a view to obtain money oy writing letters under various names. The Magistrate called upon the prisoner to give an account of himself. The prisoner stated his name to he Patrick Willia m Kelly, and admitted himself to be the writer of the letter sent to Mr. Lendon on Monday. 11owever ctroa r. the similitude of his letter, that of his hrotiler's. and th,t signed John Hall, „ere to each other, he pr uested mo,t solemnly that the one only signed by him was his tion, and in his writing , . He knew of no person nam ~1 Hall, and assured the Bench that the distresses d eta ik,t in his letter were too trite. He i% aa a native of Kilhez. lan, county of Westmeath, in Inland ; had hem in England only 18 month', part of wlcch time he k-pt a academy of repute at Bath. hot on arconnt of unfore seen calamities he was oh!iged to give up the school, and return to Lon lon, since which he hail tired in the most abject misery, ani experieoge , l he greatest hart• ships, at the house of a man named harry, No. 10, hardener's Lai., York Street, Wectminster —(llere the prisoner fell on his knees and iliplored forgive• ness.) Handley theofficer was ilispafclied to search his loilg. ings, and in a few minutes returned with a leindie f papers belonging to the Prisone-, amongst which were a vast number of letters of distress ready inanufictured in various strains, impl 'ring the assis•aner ache hen,. volent, but, nithont directions. One of 01 e epistles was directed to Viscount Clifton, stating tlilt he was on• of the snrvivorsof the dreadful accident in the coal mines in Someritetshire. This letter appeared to have been re. turned by his Lordship as the seal was broken. A list of the following Nubility and. Ifewtry WAS aka found amongst his papers, to whom he had evid►ntle applied to for assistance.—Visconnt Clifton, Sir J, H. Tarleton, Lady Harshatn, the it m. Miss Craven, Lord Minto, John Gibson, Esq. John llawden, Esq. The Officer stated that he ha l made inquiry in the neighbourhood where the Prison( r lived, and there learned that he had been lcnown in that planer for two or three years, so that his story of Lis having been in England eighteen months was a gross falsehood. .• The Magistrate •aid. that a clearer rase of im?osi•ioo had never been before the public, and he had no 4,1 , 04 the• publicity that would be given to the demotion of Cu. prisoner, through the medium of the public press, would he the means of bringing , forward many individuals who had unfortunately been duped by Ws art;lices. He stioulii, therefore, remand him lir further, exviiiiiation, in order that those persons :night attend to prefer charges against him.
