'The de follifittlwas aloot-maker in Covent-garden ; thilad had 'Oven With him six years of his time, but in the seventh roe% Wilfh aVrain as he was attempting to clean a win dow, Whit% brought on a severe and dangerons illness. Ms *lister having fib accommodation for him in his own louse, took him to that of the plaintiff, where he lingered four months and then died. During this time, his father-in-law incurred an expense of 171. for surgical *ltem:awe and medicines, and also paid other FWDs to nurses, which he now sought to recover from the master. Mr. Cum?, for the defendant. contended that lie was ' not liable in this term of action, becanse there had been no refitsal to provide necessaiies, but only a humane acquiescence in the apprentice's remaining under the care of his relatives. lie also urged that the charges for medicines were exorbitant, and that the whole could never have hers taken. 'lbe LORD Culler JI7BTICI was clearly of opinion, that though there was no wilful or criminal refusal to pro vide jor the apprentice, vet that the consignment of him to . the rare of the plaintiff, hecanse the defendant could not accommodate him in his own house. was inch neglect to per' rot the covenant as wonld sustain the action. The question of damages was entirely for the jarv,who would give a moderate eon•pensation, which was all the plaintiff' seemed to desire.—The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff — Damages, 421.

This was an action by the proprietor of a weekly newspaper, called the Repreeentatire, which is n.tw dropped, against the proprietor of the British Press, to recover the price of, the types and printing-press of the for Mer paper, which were sold to the conductor of the 1. tter.

After the cause had proceeded for some time. a reference was proposed and accepted. A verdict was accordingly tak .n for the dam gee in the declaration, subject to the Award of Mr. Park. • COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JvNe 21. Adjourned Sittings at Westininster, before Mr. Justice Freaocon and a Common Jury. CLARKE V. JOHN WM. WILLIAMS. Mr. Sergeant PELL stated, that this was an action for false imprisonment, brought to recover compensation for an injury of a most serious nature. The plaintiff had been charged by the defendant, who was a retired trades man, with assaulting him, with intent to commit a crime of a most abominable and detestable kind, and he had been obliged to,briug the present action to vi nd irate laurel f from the horrible imputition.He had been taken before a Magis. trate, by whom the charge was dismissed. This, how ever, was not such a complete vindication as an innocent party world recrire. The plaiutir was a butler in a gen tleman's family, and a charge of the kind, which had teen preferred Against him, was, of all others, the most ealcohted to it ore him, if not openly met, and satisfac torily disproved. John Manson, Esq. a Magistrate of Middlesex, proved, that the dfendant complained to him of an attempt of the knit men Toned having been made by the plaintiff ; on this complaint he issned his warrant, under which the plaintiff was apprehended. Witness subsequently re ferred the matter to Bow-stret t, aced attended there himself, when the charge was dismissed by Mr filirishall. John Edgeson, the officer, swore to basing arrested the • plaintiff on the charge, while standing at the gate of his matter's house. Mr. John Richmond, Clerk at Bow-street, pioduced seed read the urinates of the deTendant's deposition. The %oak stated, " that the charge was dismissed for want of sufficient evidence." Mr. Timothy Scott, a tailor, residing at Hammersmith, gave evidence, which went to disprove the possibility of each an event, under the circumstances charged. Mr. Robt. Haynes and Mr. Saunders gave evidence to the same effect. _ Mr. Sergeant VAVOHAN, for the defendant, dwelt at great length upon the want of any motive in the defend ant to make a charge of this nature without some founda tion in hoar Even supposing the plaintiff was not the per son wl.o bad attempted to perpetrate this diabolical crime, supposing the defendant might have been mis taken in Isis person, still the Jury ought not to visit him v ith severe punishisient on that account. Let them ex- Fry their conviction of the plaintiff's innocence—let them declare his chippeter untainted and unimpeachable —let them (as far as their verdict could) free him from all imputation, and clear him from all suspicion; hut let Cretin not, because the d-fendant had mistaken the person of the offender, charge him with having maliciously, and without p r ohahle.cause, preferred a charge solely with the intention of heaping disgrace, punishment, and ruin, on the head of an innocent individual. Al r. Justice BURROW' summed up the evidence. The Jury immediately returned a verdict for the plain- Its —Damages 1001. ARCHER COURT, SATURDAY, Juma 21. BAST e. REST. Sir JOHN Nice°Lt. this day pronounced an elaborate valence in the above cause, appealed from the Consistory Court of Rochester, and affirmed the judgment of that Court, which was, that is the suit for separation by rea son of cruelty, instituted by Mrs. Best against her husband, she bad failed in proof of her libel; and in the eros suit of divorce, by retoon of adultery, brought by Mr. Best against his wife, be had oot shown be entitled to th e remedy which he prayed himself to.

No officers were to share. Mr. Pitman rested the defence upon the want of c 0... roboratfen in the evidence of the informer., whom he re presented as traitors to the cense to which they belonged, and wholly unworthy' of credit. No one would be safe one hour In solitude if the testimony of such men were to be believed in a Court of Justice, especially after bay ing sworn, one of them that h e was prompte d by justice and not profit, and the other that profit alone was their object. Mr. SHIPPARD, in reply, stated that the defendant must have known that the soap was smuggled, as the Act directed that a certificate should accompany all duty. paid soap. The COURT convicted the defendant, but mitigated the penalty from 3001. to 101. POLICE. Menuuntotron-entesT.—A man of respectable appear ance and genteel address, was brought to this office on Sa tnrday,and underwent an examination before Mr. Conant, the Magistrate, on suspicion of being concerned in the following ingenious robbery :—Mr. Rutland, an exten sive silversmith and jeweller in Oxford-street, stated, that on Thursday last the prisoner came to his shop, and asked to loll( at some gold seals, which were shown to him, and he fixed on a small one, which he agreed to purchasbfor 18s.; but before he paid for it , he asked for ,a candle and some sealing-wax to try the impression.— ' Having satisfied himself on this point, he took the seal torah him, and left the shop. On Friday evening be 'came again, and tidied Mr. Rutland to let him see , soar ladies' ortraments as he had a commission to purcha se several articles of ' that description. at the same time tilt• Ing out his pocket-book. and saying lie supposed Mr. Rutland could give him change for a large note. Mr. :Rutland then showed him an assortment of vela:: dt mond and pearl ornaments, from which he s lect. d a beautiful transparent cluster-of-diamonds brooch, a able diamond ring, a gold cable neck-chain and snap set with turquois, a gold amethyst ring set with'pearls, aid ,various other articles, all of which he placed together on the counter; and then asked to see another Kohl se .1, wishing also to try the impression of this, called as bef for a candle and some wax for that purpose. At this lime another man came into en the shop anti over some goods which he said he wanted to buy, at the other end of the counter.' Mrs. Rutland called to the servant to bring the candle the prisoner asked for; and while she' was procuring it tlte prisoner said be felt himself very faint, having walked a greatjeal all day, and he would thank Mr. Rutland to 4et him a glass of water. Mr. Rutland, quite unsuspi cious, left the shop fo r a moment to bring lons a glass of water, bat was rather surprised, on his return, to meet the prisoner in the passage, who stopped and delayed him there while he drank the stater. On their coming hack to the shop, at the otter end of which Mrs. Rat hind was still engaged, Mr. Rutland missed the jewels off the counter, and asked his wife if slia bad taken them ; and finding that she had not, he exclaimed, "Then th-y are gone;" " And too," said the prisoner, "is my pocket-bo At, containing a large sum of money, which 1 left on the counter." As soon as the lit st surprise, cc cationed by this strange circumstance, was over, Mrs. Rutland recollected, that jest before the psi. son-r followed her husband into the passage, a thud man came into the shop for an instant and spoke to kim. On hearing this Mr. ltntland immediately suspected the trick, and accused the prisoner.— He, however, assumed a very high tone, and said that he waa himself a great sufferer by the loss of his pocket-book and money. Notwitbstan•iiiiie this, Mr. Rad :nd detained him on suspicion of being an accom plice in the robbery, and sending for an officer, had him conveyed before the Magistrate. Mr. CONANT having now asked the prisoner who and what he was, he spoke very loftily indeed of his family and connexions, the re spechibility of whom must prevent his making known his name as at all suspected of any concern in such a trans action. Mr. CONANT ‘Old him that'll his feelings were so very delicate on the subject, he would be accommodat ed with a pen and paper, when he could write down .his nanuaand none should be the wiser, except those employ ed to inquire into the truth of his respectability. After a long time, and with considerable reluctance, lie wrote his name, Samuel Buckley. He was then asked to give the names of some of those high connexions of whom he spoke. He wrote down the names of several persons in succes sion, which, however, be as successively rubbed out with his fi nger, and ultimately refused to give any, saying that he supposed they intended to commit him. His re sidence, he said, was over the water, and being asked if he had not lately come out of the King's Bench ptison;be acknowledged that he had. The Magistrate next wished to know who the Tidy was that commissioned him to purchase those jewels, be this he refused to disclose ; neither would he tell from whom be received the money which he said he had lost' in the pocket-book, or what description of notes they were, except that one was a 401. note, and even of this he could give no account, either as to the number or from whom he received it. Mr. CONANT said, that all these circumstances, caupled with the very singular one of his following Mr. Rutland out of the shop into his private passage, and detaining him there, gave a very unfavourable complexion to the whole affair, as far as he was concerned, and lie most be detained until a further Investigation took place. He was then committed to the House of Correction for re-exami , nation on a future day.

SZCOND DAY.—On Saturhy Forenoon, the inquiry into the escape of Mason. and the conduct of Mr. Law, the keeper, and the two turnkeys, was resumed. Michael Chase, No. 14, Bird-street, West-square, hair dresser, exemined.—On Wednesday lest, I came to the prison to vista man named Johnson. who wai confined for debt. About four o'clock I fetched a pot of beer from tire inner gate, and when I turned round to return, saw Mason clinging by his hands to the iron spikes, in the angle of the passage leading, to' the debtors' yard.— He gut a spring, and be was instantly on the coping stones of the wall, and into the gutter, which he walked along some distance; he then tuned round amj trintn• pliantly snooped his finger% at the prisoners in the yard; he then crawled on his bands and knees towards the south corner of the prison. Cross-et3niinesl.—When lie was serve With the heer at the wicket, he saw neither of the turnkeys at their station; if they had been, be surely must - have seen them—if they had been there, they must have seen Ma son escape. After the man hail fled, the turnkey got upon the roof of the prison to look after him; lie was telling him what he hid seen, when the prisoners said, i" Hold your tongue—you know nothing abont it." Several other witnesses were elamlned as to the es cape.but their statements merely corroborating the shore, we have not given the details. Mi. Law said, that Ise had tied every ensfeavour to trace the prisoner, but without effect; he had large Isend-- printed and disseminated, describing his person, and' offering a handsome reward for his recapture. The Alderman said that was all very well. hut no thing would ever satisfy him that soma person belonging to the prison did not assist him in escaping. He was conscious from what little he knew about riveting, that the basis of Mason's irons were never properly riveted; For it never could have been pinched half way, through without assistance. There being co further evidence to produce, the in. ciniry terminated ; an& Mr. Newinans the clerk, was - de sired to have copies of the invesiption prepared, in ,order that they might be presented to the Court of Al dermen on Tuesday.

The Coroner for the county 'c nue from Reading, and summoned a Jury this more. ing ; butt they were not permitted to hoist an. invest on the body of the unhappy man. It elywars that this anc ient:lmle event had taken platy within the verge of a !loyal Palace, where the County Coroner has no jurisdic tion. On Lord Ilrent, from the Hoard of iireen Cloth. stating this to the Coroner, he isnmediately discharged the Jury; in two meantime Mr. Adams, the King's Co roner, has arrived from town and proceeded to summon his Jury, which must he composed of Yeomen of the King's Househuld.

Un fortunately for the preserving of the property, the whole of the family were gone out, and before the neighbours could get in, the greater p .rt was consumed : the lavish engine was speedily brought to the spot, but within% materially checking the fire, which, owing to the old ness of the house and the great quantity of timber about it. raged with great fury, and rapidly communicated to the adjoining house, which was also speedily burnt to the ground. By this time the engines had arrived, and by great exertions the firemen succeeded in arresting the progress of the flames, which by 11 o'clock were completely got under. Both houses were insured, and we are happy to add no person was injured. About a month ago the bakehouse of Mr. Croker was befor one tire, when being timely discovered, it was got under with out doing any material damage. An alarming fire broke out on Saturday night at Wil lan House, near Hlstree, occasioned by the negligence of a maid-servant, in setting five to the bed curtains. 'fbe interior of the house was destroyed in an hone, and very little furniture was saved. Mr. Paul, the occupier, was in London. There was no person injured, except the maid-servant, who was slightly burnt. At about ten o'cl ick, on Finlay night, a fire broke ant at No. 8, Tower Royal, Watliog•street ; and notwith standing an early and numerous muster of engines, such was the scanty supply of water. that the house was entirely consumed . , and the adjoining one, No. 7, mate rially injured.
