SEDUCING A RTIFICERS TO LEAVE THE KINGDOM. THE KING. V. MANDY. The defendant, a gentleman largely _concerned in the Iron Works of Staffordshire, stood charged, on two in dictments, with enticing artisans in that branch of trade, to leave the kingdom for France. Theie indictments were removed by certiorari into the Court of King's Bench, and by order of that Court, ,were sent down for trial in this county, on a suggestion that impartial trials could not be had in Staffordshire, where the causes of vompleint were said to have arisen. The first indictment being called LID for trial, a full special jury appeared, and was sworn. Mr. IVINTER stated the substance of the charge, and Mr. Jervis then addressed th , ioev. Mr. CAMPBELL mid that Mr."sl;nby, for whom he had the honour to appear, was an individual of greet merit and of high character. He had, in ignorance, broken the law; and, whatever might be his opinion of its poll. cv, he felt sorrow for having inadvertently violated any of those provisions which he eas bound to obey; and therefore thought that, by at once alloying the verdict to pass against him, he should best show his regret for the involuntary error in which lie had fallen into. hlr.Justice - Barr said, that no question could arise on the policy of the statute at the present trial. As the de f. udant submitted to a verdict, it was merely the duty of the irtr- Oland it. A verdict of guilty was then taken and recorded. A similar verdict was taken on the issue upon the other charge. It was, we believe, understood, that the defendant would not be brought up for judgment. SURREY frEsSiONS.—KINGSTO'N.

Mr. IVALTORD stated the circumstances under which tr e prosecution had been instituted, and on whivahious c have, in fact, already appeared before the public r for mer occasions; it is therefore unnecessary for us to state them.

Thit gave umbrage this brethren of the long robe; and after a conference among them selves, the majority agreed .upon " seriling him to Co ventry", which was accordingly done •, and on the follow ing morning, when Mr. Curwood made his appearance in Court, he was surprised to find that the barristers present refuted to speak to or associate with him. Mr. Curwood however, nsisted uon his right/ to change his circuit on ce, and proceed acpcordingly. This was controverted by the members of the bar; and the matter rema ins to be se ttled by the higker .ewers in the metropolis ; and should their decision be against Mr.Curwood, and,be still persevere, it Is understood that the bar have resolved not S 2 hold a brief with him. A Itasorc—The Grand Jnry of the County of Tip perary received a Circular Letter, in a printed form, fiosn a certain Committee in llahlin, styling itself the Pro testant Committee, calling upon them to come furl; ard and petition Parliament alai oat Catholic Emancipation, and to adopt a form of Petition which was enclosed tire to them in the prin ted letter.

In our fish market, this week,.fine trout have been sold at six-pence each, and new salmon at 34. per pound. It is by na means merely traditionary, that the latter ar ticle, now become-a dainty, was &innerly so plentiful, that masters were bound by indenture not to oblige their apprentices to eat salmon more than twice a week. This city is yet in the recollection of many inhabitants of this city ; and we happen to know of one indentnre which contains such a stipulation.—(Exeter Goureue.) -• _ _ MaatapeaorawaTazas --S. Sheppard, a native of ',lead, was on Saturday brought before Mr. Dyer, the Sitting Magistrate, upon 'charge of bigamy, having in termarried with Mary Rumble , w hile his first wife Mary Ayre was still living. Mary Rumble appeared as the prosecutric Before the case came on, the prisoner fre quently disturbed the proceedings of the Otfice, by bis loud and vehement entreaties that she woald not appear against him. His eloquence was all in vain. She handed to the Magistrate a large race' of letters, some from the prisoner, and some from the first wife. She (lien gave her evidence as to the celebration of the marriage cere mony between herself and the prisoner, at Mary-le-bonne Church. The prisoner said, that he was the most ill-used man on earth. The facts of the case were these, and he was certain all who heard them would coriamiserate his- si tuation. In the year 1812, he married Miry Ayre, and took her with him to Portugal, where be accompanied his regiment (the 2d Wards) upon service. She soon became tired of campaigning as a soldier's wife, and went to live with a Lieutenant of the collie. On their return to Ragland she gave him a written discharge from all engagements, and a license to marry whom he pleased. He got acquainted with Mary Rumble, who lived as housemaid at Batt's Hotel, in Dover-streer, and after a short courtship, married her. She was fully ac quainted with all the circumstances attending his first marriage. They set up a lodging-house, and in a short time the second Mrs. Sheppard followed the example of the first, and went to live with a Mr. Carr, a lodger in the house, and thus deserted by both uives , he thou g ht he bad a right to marry again. " What! (said the Magistrate) have you married a third wife ?"—" Sure, your Worship, I thought 1 'had a right, as the other two discharged me." • Is it possible (said Mr. Dyer) that you have arrived at your time of life, and suppose that any person has the power to give you liberty to marry three wives, or to annul by any licence of that sort your first marriage ?" The prisoner Said he did not think be was doing wrong, and if he had done so he was sorry for it. Mr. Dyer said he feared . his sorrow came too late. He should remand im till a future day, to have proof pro. &iced of the fi r st marriage. It did not appear who the third wife was. Another case of bigamy came on against a woman about 50 years of age. Both the husbands, who it ap peared had been acquainted from their infancy, attended, and seemed on very friendly terms. This case was ul.o adiourned for want of sufficient evidence. I VUTUFUL ADVETWURERB.—Two youths of propos sessessing anti. fashionable appearance, who gave their manes Hale and Connell, were brought to this office from 1 St. Giles's watch-house, charged under the following singular circumstances: — The prisoner Hale', it appears, is the son of a respect able linen-draper carrying on business in an extensive way in Dublin: lie is about fifteen years of age, not long from school, and was employed in the rountiox house ; but unfortunately of late he linked himself with with some foolish and bad companions, who caused him to neglect the pursuit of the desk for the more alluring rounds of dissipation; and frequently bring deficient in his supply of cash, lie hit upon a ready mode to obtain it by plundering his father. About sic months ago le received, in his capacity at his father's house, a remit tance for the firm, from a distant part of the country, of 1141. which was rendered up to his father, who depo sited it in a drawer in one of the apartments, and when all the family had retired to rest, the prisoner, having a knowledge of where the money was left, arose in the course of the night, dressed himself, and soon made himself master of the property. lie then contrived to escape from the house without his friends knowing it, and early the following morning be met with another youth, to whom he stewed the money, and after consult ing ii ith each other, they were at a loss how to proceed to lay out the money, and at length hit upon the expedi ent of taking a trip to London, to see a little life. But they were obliged to act cautiously, the rotatory being soon discovered, and notice given to , the Dublin police, who were speedily on the look out after the prisoner; but all pursuit was evaded, and the fugitives, in a short time, having paid for their passage, eoecealed themselves in the cabin of a vessel, set ssil from the Pigeon (louse, and in less than two da y s the y ivere landed safely at Li verpool, where they instantly took coach, and soon ar rived in the metropolis, where they nightly exhibited at a few theatrical houses, and occasionalry'sported some of the 1141. to "fret and strut their hour" at private theatres. They had not been long indulging in this way, before Hale was unexpectedly met in the Strand by a friend of his father's, who, suspecting all was nut right, immediately wrote to Mr. Hale, intimating his suspicions. An answer was sent back, explaining the whole of the affair, and requesting him, if possible, to restore his child. Mr. M. made every inquiry after the prisoners, and at leigth ascertained they lived in a court in Great Queen street, Lincoln's-inn-fields. He procured the assistance of Bartlett, an active officer of St. Giles's, who accompa nied him to the house, and having waited more than nine hours, the prisoners came home, when they were in stantly secured and their apartments searched, in which , were faund play books and stationery of all kinds, with the most fashionable clothes, and the selection of articles so various, that an enumeration would appear tedious. A fee sovereigns, and UN. in silver, were also found.— On their being q uestioned as to their intended prospects, they replied, " That they were about to open a Theatri cal book shop on a very extended plan." They were lodged in the watch house, and 'the morning atter weie carried before the Magistrates. These facts being . stated to the Magistrate, Mr. M. (the person who obtained information reapectiog thew) said, lie was unwilling to proceed harshly with the pri soners, but desired that they might be rcpriniauded and sent home to their friends. The prisoner Hale expressed his contrition, and im plored forgiveness. Connell, iu a broad Irish accent and in an energetic tone, declared he has living in splendour in his brother's house, in Dublin, where the prisoner made his appetites ante, and, showing hlm the money, invited Mn to accom pany him to London, assuming him that his father would only experience a tetupotary.inconvenience by the loss of the money. Having a desire to see this place, he em braced the opportunity, and came with him ; and this, lie said, was " th e head and front of his offending." The Magistrate reprimanded them severely, and gave them into the charge of their friends, to be forwarded to their own country. At Marlborough-street, on Saturday, Daniel APCoy, a poor labourer, residing . in George-street, St. Giles's, preferred a complaint against a Mr. Sewell, the proprie tor of the Flax-tuills at Hounslow, for violently beating his son, a lad about 13 years of age. The Father stated, that his son had been in the poor house of St..Oiles's in the Fields , fro m whence he was rem oved by the parish officers, tothe mild in question. A few days since, however, he returned home in consequence of a person in M r.'Seivell's employ having, torsome trivial offence, beaten him in a most unmerciful manner with a 'thick s trap. Here the poor boy was stripped; his hack, I l from the nape of the n eck to the seat, presented the ap• • pearance of excessive severity having been used towards him. The foreman of Mr. Sewell a ttended, and stated that hie master regretted very much the treatment the poor boy had eaperienced. No undue severity was used at any time by Mr. Sewell upon any of the boys employed in the mills, and kt was against the express desire -of Mr. Sewell that any of the cbil- tires in his employ should be punished' by those under 'Whose direction they were Immediately placed. Tbas on which this took place, Mr. S. chaneed to be oearthe mills, and hearihir thd cries of the boy, seat for witneta atoceitain the cause. The boy was sent for, and the :person who had inflicted the punishment upon bins was 'severely reprimanded fur his conduct, and. threatened, 'With in immediate discharge from the mills, if he ever 'presented to strike any of the boys in future. • Daniel °Wier, a servant to Mr. S. stated, that the boy was verrindolent, and would not do the work allotted to him He had punished him for his idleness, but was ex tremely sorry lie bad allowed his passion to get the bett-r of ilim. .111 r. Sewell had threatened to discharge him ; bdt on his peoMisenot to act se in future, he was retained in his situation. The Magistrate severely admonished him for his conduct; but, having on enquiry learnt, thet the chil dren employed at the otitis we're treated by the owner with humanity and kindness, he advised the father to send his boy back again. To this, however, the father Would not consent, and the parties left the other. Wusitte-svaszT.—Saturday, William Waeket, the graer-digger s underwent another examination, when the It-surrection Man, Murphy, was produced, hut lie de nied all knowledge of any transaction with the grave and there being no other evidence against him, Mr. Bll r, NETT, the Magistrate ordered him to bp dis charged. At the Burial Ground the crowd still pressed round the entrance, and the desire of relations to open the graves of their deceased frients continued with unabated anxiety; fortunately for the feelings of many-of them, most pf the coffins which were opened still contained the remains so dear to them. Mr. BENETT observed, thst he had acceded to the de. sire of relatives to satisfy their miuds about their de ceased friend', and lie hoped that sufficient time bad uow been afforded to allay their anxiety, and therefore he di rected Mr. Garton, the Chief Constable, to permit the opning' of the graves until fur o'cck, at which time tie would see that the grou n d wes lo cleared, the gates locked, and due notice given t 3 the multitude that ne person would again be admitted for the purpose of open ing any more graves. A notice was accordingly posted on the gates :—" No persons to lie admitted into this ground after four o'clock this afternoon. By or ter of time Magistrates. Public Office, Worship-street, sth April, 13"3." The Chapel, called Hollywell Mount Chapel, near the burying ground, had posted before it—" This Chapel has no connection wha t e ver with the burying ground ;" which notice seemed very prudently given to prevent the effects of popular indignation. Yesterday morning the relations of deceased persons buried in the ground appeared before the gates, with wen and .hovels, for the purpose of going on with the opening of graves, and it was with some difficulty that the police officers prevented their determication to enter the g round. They were informed the ground could not be opened on a Sunday, but they might apply to the Ma gistrstee for an order at eleven o 'clock in the morning. 'ln coneeqttence of this intimation, though very reluct antly, they went away. A crowd continued the whole day in the street, but they conducted themselves with ggeat order, cor was there the least disposition to be riotous. Same of the multitude, as ever will he the ease, at tempted a joke on the occasion. The form of a gallows was chalked on the door of the gateway ; and where the words were originally " Burials taken in here," the " was crossed out, and " out" was chalked over it. CAUTION TO LICENSZD V I CTUALLERS.— WORSIIIP . ant STREET.—On Saturday Mr. Jame Pearce, landlord o the Bose i tea pu blic-hoase, s corner of Coleman street, appeared to a summons before the Sitting Magistrates, Mr. Belau. and Mr. Beaseer, "for , knowingly and designedly harbouring and suffering per sons of bad character and evil fame to resort to his house." Mr. Burgess attended as his Solicitor. Armstrong, jam. the officer, having been sworn, stated, that, in consequence of information he received. Mr. Garton, the chief constable, himself, and two or thew officers, proceeded to the house of the defendant, which they well knew to be a rendezvous for thieves of the worst description.. It was about 11 o'clock in the forenoon of the 241 inst. when they entered the house ; they found six mn in the tap-room drinking, five of whom he well knew e to be reputed thieves. All of them on seeing him made their escape backwards. Witness and his brother officers then left the house, but went back again in about half an boor, and then found that the company had re: turned and had resumed their carousal. Mr. Mutt —Bail you ever given the defendant notice not to harbour such characters? Officer-1 have, your Worship, snore than once Or twice. Mr. Bunoess, Mr. P.'s solicitor, asked the Magistrates if they considered the case clea rl y made out a g ainst hie client'? Mr. Belittle—You hear the officer has sworn, five out of the six persons were reputed thieves. IVhat can be clearer than that. Mr. Bonuses said, any publican would be liable t o have such persons in his house, and yet not be acquainted with their character. Mr. Bevtul said, the defendant had no right to bar bon r them. Garton, the chief officer, said, the defendant's house was a noted resort for thieves; he bad seen from twenty to thirty in his house at one time. Mr. BURGESS hoped the Magistrate would hear nothing antecedent to the 2d April, tbeday on which this offence was said to he committed. Mr. Bertarr—Certainly not. Officer (Garton), did you see any thieves in the house on the day in question ? Garton 2 -1 did, your Worship ; five. Mr. lisiereaT—llow do you know they were thieves; do you know them to have ever been punished ? Garton—Two of them 1 know to have been trans ported. Mr. BIVILL—Now, Mr. Burgess, what will you say to that? All the defence that will avail you, will be to show they are not reputed thieves. tearton said, that when he entered the house, all the men ran backwards, and escaped over the wall, and through a house at the back into Banner-street. Mr. BURGESS said he was prepared to p r ove to the contrary, as there was no facility of escape backwards at all. Magistrate.—So much the worse for your client; be• cause he must harboured them in his house if they did not escape. Mr. BURGESS said, be was sorry that such an Act ever passed, because he was thoroughly convinced there would not be so many theieves prowling about the metropolis, pu if blicans were a owed to hem, because the officers wo uld then ll know where arbour to find th them when they were warted. Mr. Bevitt—That's the eld fashion, but that won't do now. Sir. Bunoess—Not one tittle of evidence has been ad duced to how my client was aware that they were reputed thieves. Mr. &vitt —The former cautions given to the defend ant is eullicient to show a guilty knowledge. MT. BeitGESS—Suppwe any thieves should enter a public hoeee, must not the landlord serve them ? Mr. Bevitt—Certainly not. lee must not harbour or entertain them. e might call a coestable and turn them out, awl n li o one knows that better than you. The d e fendant said he hail all torte of the labouring classes sounitimes !repent his Louse, and it would be impossible for him to distinguish who was of evil fame. Dlr. BE.aratET—The only &fence you can make to serve A dreadful accident occurred on Satnrtley last, ahont noon, to Mr. Thos. Pettus . " who had been for the last 25 years employed as foreman of the carpenters in the Cathedral of Canterbury. For some time past a scuffuld ing has been erected for the purpose of repairing the in. tenor part of the edifice; the work, however, being nearly completed within reach of the scaffold, it was nut deemed necessary that the workmen, extepting those employed in the gilding department,should remain on it; but, Hann a complaint being made of a strong current of air rush ing through a broken window, and impeding the work of the gliders, the individual above named went np for the purpose of placing a hoist against the &maze I part, a nd n.king one for the purose, it is suievase I, must have placed his foot on what is t e rnted a ledger, and the weight of the plank lie held overlsalaneing him, he was preci, ita'el front a height of from 50 to 130 r et, and d .shed on the pavement le ker.
