COURT OF NINO'S BENCH.—Jsx. 17. VAVINAS r. ems. This was as action by the pisietit a Lori of the Manor and Hnadred of Milton, is Rest, against the defendant, to ascertain in whoa the property of the oyster4sheries there was vested. . The SOLICITOR-O[IIIIIAL, and MINTS. Malaya?? sad OCRNST, were for the plaintiff, and Mr. SCAIMITT ter the defendant. The case, which was one entirely depending on the eoustruction to be given to certain leases made to and by the plaintiff's predecessor. in the manor, occupied she Court the greater part of the day. Without go ing into the details of these documents, it may be enough to say that the Int predated was a copy of an entrance in Doomsday-book, William I. by which the senor and its jurisdictions were given to the then tenants; and next followed renewed royal grants in the several reigns afterwards up to Elisabeth. Some dam after this, however, disputes arose as to the Lord's right to the fishery; and to explain and secure that, Henry Herbert, in the reign of Charles 11. obtained a BoyalCharter, by which the Crown renewed the grant of the former jurisdictions, and added many others besides. Bat in the next reign, a icier facies being brought, this Charter was entirely annulled. Since then the fishermen had consented to pay the Lord a rent of 1001. a-year, for a period of years, and some ►ime since the lease had expired. Since that no rent or return had been given the Lord for the fishery. The defence was, that by the doing away of the charter of Charles 11. the Lords of the Manor lost all right to this franchise of the fishery. It was said that the rent of 1001. was not a recognition of any right in the Lord, but a sort of agreement entered into between the Lord and the fishermen to exclude the public, and keep the fishery to themselves. To this, however, it was answered that the 1001. was bat a compromise, and seemed, in fact, as a com plete recognition of the Lord's right. The second agreement was, u towards the defendant., a waiver of the rights which earned to them by the annulling the Charter of Charles 11. The Jury found for the plaintiff. At the General Quarter Sessions for the city of Bath, the Magistracy declined calling evidence on the persons charged for rioting. &c. on the evening of the late illuminations in that city. At the Sea.; 'ions for the city of Exeter, there was no appearance of the like conciliatory disposition. for the persons charged with throwing squibs at the constables were sentenced to fine and imprisonment. At the Oxford *Woos, the following curious circumstance is stated to have occeurred. The Grand Jury in returning their bills gave in the one against those men who were indicted for assaulting some members of the University, on the evening that the Queen's friends insisted on an illumination, with a note on the hack of it, stating that none of the witnesses could be found, thongh they were all in court. On inquiry this was found to be the case, and the jury conse enently returned to examine them. Whilst they were absent the persons accused all pleaded guilty, and Mr. Roberson, the solicitor, was noakiag intercession with the Court for a slight punishment, as they expressed contrition (or what they had done, when the Wand Jury came into coon with the wools--.A'of a free bill, against those very persons who had all pleaded guilty ARREST IN DCEILIN.—On Sunday night, between V'e hours of eight and nine o'clock, Major Stan, uron previous information, proceeded with a strong irty of Police to a public-house in Winetas-ernstreet ; having entered the house, he found there a number of persons assembled, apparently of the class of working tradesmen ; they appeared to he in close con sultation, with papers on the table, the character or subject of which, whether political or otherwise, we have nut been able to ascertain. 'the appearances were such, however, as that Major Sirr conceived himself filly warranted in taking into custody the whole party. 19 in number. After a private investi gation at the head Police Office, they were sent off t different prisons, some to Neweate, sonic to Kil rrainham, and the remainder to the Richmond Bride v ell.—(D 14 blin o!aertter.) A large dog of the Newfonndland species, belong ing to Mr. John Sanders, Alphingtots, tanner, was observed at the beginning of last week to be unusually dill and heavy, and on Thursday he bit the nephew cf Mr. S. in the thumb and finger very severely, but as it was supposed that the boy had irritated the ani r,al, no suspicion of the Hydrophobia was at that time entertained; on the followinv day be attacked and bit his master slightly, and then dew at his sun, a child of about 3 rears of age, whose arm was dread fully lacerated. kir. Tucker, surgeon, of Exeter, was immediately sent for, who, finding from the depth of the wounds, and the numerous !sum:tures, that it was impossible to remove by the knife the parts. bitten. had recourse to the most powerful caustics, which destroyed the surrounding flesh to a considerable ex tent. so as to prevent the absorption of the rapid poises, and a fair expectation is held out that no ill etieats will ensue. The dog was secured, but from his great strength be made his way by digging through a wall, took the road to Ide, and thence to wards Haldon-Honse, near which place ,he attacked a flock of sheep, bit many of them, and killed several 1 lambs. His career was here fortunately terminated by Mr. Hodge, the owner of the steep, who with great intrepidity destroyed him. A very curious circumstance occurred this week is Great Mary-le-hone-street, which. though attended with serious loss to the party concerned, caused a great deal of laughter amongst the by-standee. Some showmen Bumped at the corner of a mews, where they were ex hibiting the well known peppetoilow of Punch and Ju dy, okeu a porter, carrving a leatitiful large looking glass. coming cp, put down his load, which lie placed standing against the iron palisadoes, and stood looking at the exhibition. A large pet goat. which was kept in an adjoining stablootaid, happening to come up, and spassing by the looking-glass, he saw" an image of him elf," in an attired" of proud defiance, looked at it for a short time, witen;,rettring back a few pates, he reared an his hind leg and made a desperate dash at the glass. through whiedtime his head, and broke it into tea thwasaud pieces; at which all present set up a hearty tie poor porter, o bo appeared ti antic from _ JamouriurriallaliT, 1.4 CONSPIRACY- Tit IMO *canter atuNT, WAIT, WILMOT ' S/MD UTT AR. (swam, au.) Several witnesses wen ettaatlaell for the detradasts, but their evidence was net verrniatarial. Mr. ALL"r addressed the jury on the mamas. He said it was sow the practice with prodigal, natty. who knew they could sot get legal advocates to =all due rules of law sad decency, to undertaki to them selves in the manner that M. Want had done. The learned gentleman then proceeded to comment on the evidence with great seal and effect ; and coocloded by saying that, if the jury should not find the prisoners guilty, it must be his fault in conducting the prosecution, as there certainly was never tiers conclusive evidence of a conspiracy. The CU Al usAN recapitulated the evidence to the jury, esplaining the law as it applied to the facts proved. fhe jury retired for a few minutes, and returned a verdict of Guilty against both the defendants. The Magistrates retired to consider of the judgment; and, on their return Into court, the CHAIRMAN addressed the prisoner Wilmot. He said, when he had the painful duty, the last session, of pronouncing the udgment of the Court on him for the perjury of which l ee was then fogad guilty, it was distinctly stated that the cause of the inadequacy of the punishment to which he wee then sentenced, was, that be was to usdergo the ordeal of a trial en another charge : the present verdict proved that the measure of his guilt was full ; and the judgment of the Court therefore was—that after the expiration of his present imprisonment, he should be further Imprisoned for the space of 15 nionths, which time the Court hoped he woulu employ in sincere repentance of the heinous crime he bad committed against tied and his fellow creatures. The CHAIRMAN then addressed the prisoner Want. He said, when ignorance mid brutality were convicted of heinous crimes, their feelings must be painful ; but when rank, talent, and reputation were proved to have be come so degraded as to enter into conspiracy with per jury, it must surely indict on the person so convicted the most poignant suffering. The only excuse, however, that the Court could make itself for the very slight pg nishuseat he was going to pronounce, was, the hope that the prisoner might have been made the tinpe of another. He then sentenced bins to pay -a tine of NUL and to be imprisoned till the fine was paid. Just as the Court was oa the point of breaking up. Mr. Want intimated his intention of prosecuting gliaabeth• Gaze for perjure.

SURREY SESSIOA'S.--Jax . 17 . The following case excited considerable interest in consequence of the act-titled having been for a low; time a preacher, and having had a chapel of his own in Luck's-fields. at which he bad preached until the last twelve months. Mr. T& meows stated the case for the prosecution, and Mr. GAIVI.CI conducted the defence. The prisoner. letet Tapper. was indicted for having received ten books and a table-cloth. knowing them to be stolen. The articles in question were the properly ot Mrs. M. Schroder, of Capliani-rise. The eireurustances of the case were shortly these. On the 14th of October last, the house of Mvs. ltl. ;Schroder, a Berman lady, residing at Clapham, was robbed of con siderable property. antonest which were ten volumes of a Gasman work, Martin Luther's Commentary on the Bible, and some tat:;?-!'lien. One colonic of the work in question was left behind by the thieves. On the 401 December, the stolen work was offered for sale he the prisoner, in company with a woman with whom he co habited, to Mr. Nolte. a bookseller, in York-street. Co vent-garden. The satin demanded by the prisoner for the work was 7/. Ile said he hall has it in his family for fifty years; but the account which lie gave of the possession being disbelieved, he was takon into custody. and also the woman who went with him. The books offered for sale lay the prisoner, were sworn to by the sou and daughter of the proseentris as her property. — The prisoner when he was taken into custody, EMI' a false acconut of himself. and refused at first to disclose his residence. An °diver searched the residence of the prisoner in Temple-street, am) roomd there a table-cloth and harp-cover, the property of the prosecuiris. The Jury found the prisoner goilty.l The Court sentenced the prisoner tube imprisoned fur twenty-four calendar ths. A girl, apparently not more than fifteen years of age, was indicted for stealing from the person of Pierre Louise Tarrese, 35/. in bank note:. The prosecutor is a French egg-merchant, and lie stated that, on the 27th December, he was intratlnced to tile prisoner at a house of ill fame, near St. lieorge's Fields, He had, when lie went in the house, bank notes in his pocket to it considerable iiiii too. The prisoner, during his stay at the house. contrived to steal from his person three bundles of notes. to t he amount o f with which sbe made off. The prosecutor said the prisoner put her band into his pocket, took ant the notes, snatched up the catullestick. m:el ran away like a snake." She was soon after apprelieuded, but nothing was found upon her. An officer corroborated the statement of the prosecutor. The Jury found the prisoner Lliiity, and the Court sentenced {ter to be transported for life. The frequency and atrocity of *beet robberies, and the scandalous apathy of the police in that respect, I seems at length to have roused Ore public to a, sense of their danger and disc raec. The Grand Jrtry of the City of London, much to their honour. presented the frequency and daring violence of this crime, at the close of their labours last sessions. IVedneaday an inquest wraJteld in Exeter, on the body of Sarah Hales, a .errant girl, whose death was occasioned by taking a large quantity of oil of vitriol on the preceding day. The surgeons who examined the body, say, that they never witnessed such a horrid mass as the stomach exhibited, being entirely derons posed by the burning powers of the arid. It appears that the Unfortunate girl, who was about 20 years of age. was the victim of an arful villian, ulna, under pretence of affection, succeeded in effecting her ruin, and then left her to lament her misfortune and his inconstancy. Insupportable remorse soon preyed upon her spirits, and the miserable object of seduction be ing four months advanced in pregnancy, and worn down by shame and sorrow, ended her life, in a mo ment olinsanity, by the dreadful means we have de scribed. The bottle from ulieh the fatal draught was poured was marked "leardeanie•,."and it is sup posed she bad before swallowed a quantity oi that opiate, without the intended effect.

It was also stated by the battler that be had found two skeleton keys in a drawer, which the prisoner used for his own purposes. Mr. Marsh, potire olSeer of Gloucester, deposed to his having apprehended the prisoner en Friday last, at a public house in that city, in consequence of bar bur seen an aerount of the robbery and a description of his person is the Hue and Cry, or Police Duette. This officer also produced a variety of articles of livery dress, which he had found upon the prisoner, sad which were proved to be the property of Mr. Chitty. No part of the plate has been discovered. The prisoner, when asked if he had any thing to say, told the following story :--“Oo the evening of the 6th of December, soon after the butler went out. somebody knocked at the dour. I went to open it, and found there a young woman, named Mary Smith, with whom 1 had a slight acqnaintance, having met with her three or fonr times in the street. I asked her to walk down stairs, and I left her in the pantry whilst I went out to get a pot of porter, she having expressed a wish for the same. When I came hack, I found the door ajar; and, on proceeding to the pantry, 1 also fhand that the young woman was gone, and that the plate was missing. I instantly set out in pursuit of her, and client more than two hours in the search ; but not being able to find her, 1 was afraid to return to my master's house. I then went to the Bull and Mouth Inn, slept with the guard of the Worcester coach, and the next morning, at six o'clock, I Pet out with him for Worcester ; and this is all I have to say,ientle men, I know nothing of the plate, nor have 1 seen the young woman since." He was committed for future examination. ./u/sa G: hr was charged with rutting the straps of a trunk behind the Earl of Harrowhy's carriage, on Monday eveuitt.e, with intent to steal the said trunk. Lord flarrowhy's valet wat the only witness. He stated, that as the carriage was passing along Berke lev-street, between seven and eight o'clock, he A- I • served the prisoner on the footpath, Nina ing it, and presently he saw him cross over close behind the car riage. Thinkitig he had some bad design, he instant ly jumped out, and seized him as be was going to run otf. Both straps were rat throngh, but the trunk had not been removed. No knife was found upon the prisoner. The prisoner denied the charge altogether, and said, he was running across the street when the wit-1 ems seized him ; at the same time suffering a lad to escape nho had been riding behind the carriage. He was committed for the misdemeanour; and, in the evening, two of the most respectable fruiterers in Covent-garties market tame forward, and after Flying him an excellent character, lAcause bail for his appear s-Ice at the Sessions. MARLBOROVGII-STRUT.—A CM.' of inilitidual int • portance came on yesterday at this of f ice, touching how far the military bad a right to interfere with pub licaas where soldiers are quartered. A publican of St. Ann's parish, was complained against, that he had told a serjrant, whose ditty it was to see that a s.lldier was in his quarters, that he was in bed when he was not there, and that he reftised the serjeant a candle to go into the rooms. The publican's defence was, that he believed the soldier was in his quarters ; that he was not holm, to allow any person to go sip stairs in In, st o f a so ldier s quartered upon him, as a prison might pretend to be a non-coutinissioned officer, when in realitt• he was not so, and thus subject the house to nocturnal visits for the purposes of depreda. don. The two Serjeants present voted that they had in ltructions from their officers to art tip to the duty which they hail performed, and not finilinc the *ol die's in bed, as had been stated by the landlord to he the case, they hail taken the present step at the desire of the commanding officers. 'I he 31acts rrtarc expressed his opinion that it was the deity of every publican, for the preservation of good order, to allow every facility to non-commissioned offerers to ascertain if the privates were in quarters; hut. on looking at the Artirles of War, he could not find a section which authorised s‘arching - a house, ex cepting fur a des •rter or a felon, and be must there fore dismiss the case with the observation, that the house of an individual was different from barracks ; but b.• recommended that publicans should give every faciiity for ensuring the subor,!ination and good dis cipline of Ilse subtler, and the good order of his own house. case was dismissed. Friday morning, Aunt three o'clock, the family of 1 Mr. Vanua, cliee-ieniunger, 129, Nigh-street, Shad- w e ll. were awoke out of their sleep and thrown intu the utmost alarm, at hearing a crackling noise; sup posing it to be occasioned by rubbers endeavouring to gain arlilosis4.os, they got up, and after making the nececes.ary preparatioty, in cam, of an attack, Mr. Farmer, out being at home ; a person went out cau tiously, and gave the alartu at the two adjoining houses. occupied by Mr. Rochester, a tea-dealer, and Mr. Spring, patent navy paint and ship bottoming warehouse, who also got up to oppose the entrance of the supposed robbers. A greater degree of terror, however, was immediately excited amongst the occu piers, the whole of the roofs of the three hours falling in at the same time with a tremendous crash, beating low,' the whole of the third floor of each house, and materially damaging the secwid.
