sank V. FLOOD. Mr. HEALD stated that this was the case of a ‘‘ ho had married a Ward of the Newt, and heap his Loedship for liberty to refer to the Muter to approvel i•f a uttleasent on the lady. • The Court had been oftipt-1 Ilion. when this cue first came before it, that the Milieu be done was to secure a property for the of the lady. The lady had married a person named Cl ridge a shoemaker, and a bill had been filed, the object of which was to compel Flood to account for certain rents and profits arising out of houses which were the Ferre ty of the lady. The lady's hinds had now tow toes resolution. that to proseatta the Iteduess farther would he only throwing away mow, os.he Mud) was lees& vent •, and MOPS particularly as the Cola had diaehugod him from the receipt of the rent. and bat prelate& 111- other receiver. It appeared the lady had been married at the age of seventeen, which was the reason his Lord ship referred the case to the Attorney-tieneral. The protection of the lady's property was the great point in question. Alr. Haar bad no objection to this proceedings ass that the Master should approve of a settlement on die Jady. His Lordship said, that under any circumstances is could not permit the husband to have contronl over the fortune of the lady. The husband having sworn at ten o'clock in the morning that his wife was not seventua years old, and bariog again sworn on the evening of the same day that she was twenty-one years of age. it was impossible that a Court ofJustice could overlook the cir cumstances% He weuld therefore say that such a husband should never have,osse farthing of the lady's property in his power. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Mar 29. • pit LISSAK 0. PRAM This was an action on a policy of Insurance on ods, on bunt the Nancy, at and from Rio Janeiro to, Lima; loss averred to'be by' capture. The plaintiff's raw was cooduted by Mr. Scutarrt. Mr. throttler, and Mr. Ttranak and the defendant's by Jilt. MARRTAT. Mr. PULLER, anti Mr. CAMPBELL. The plaintiff *situ usercliant,at Rio, Jimmie., and in October, 199 D,, of .oveollens and other English manufactures to tlam i *utt of about 40,0001. on •hoard the Nancy, for • Linia. gave instructions to his agent in this coo atryto .effectiosataasoe.: The defendant, an underwriter at LJoyd's, subscribed the policy for 10001 at a premium of five guineas per cut. The TOSS/1 ar rived at Pisca, on the Pacific, on the stb January, 1821. where the Captain was informed that the coast of Pent, was in a' state of blockade by the Patriotic fleet cow: mended by Admiral Lord Cochrane. He dispatched a messenger to• the consignees at Lima, sotto advised him of the danger be was stiy_ and recommended him to quit Pius. and sail for some other port for safety, until the vessel conid.proceed on her destination. After a tedious passage, the vessel arrived in March at St. Bias, where an attempt was made to find a market for the cargo, but the mode being adapted for a cooler climate, no sales could be effected. The Captain then, determined, at all hazards, to return to Rio Janeiro, and in his pusar thither, in consequence of a fog, be by mistake oat in to Pisca, then in possession of the Patriotic party. He. was immediately seized, thrown into prison. and the ship' and her cargo condemned in the'Admiralty Court ay' Spanish property under the colour of the English ta g : Fur the loss thus *ustailled, the present action Wall brought upon the policy underwritten by the defendant. The defence set ep was, first, concralteent from the, noder•writers as to tire real character of the goods. which it was said . were not English but Spaaish; seeped. a deviation in going to St. Bias ; third, negligence on the, part of the Captain in going into Pius with a knowledge of the danger be mast encounter, and whereby the pro oerty was condemned ; and, fourth, unreasonable delay in the pursuit of his voyage. The Lon, CHIEF JUSTICE intimated his opinion that the plaintiff could not recover. If the Jury thought there lead bees unreasonable delay, or any *ant of caution on the part of the Captain, in not taking steps to avoid the danger into which he fell by going to Pisca, under there circumstances of the case, the action was clearly not maintainable. The Jory seemed inclined to decide in favour of the Learned Judge'antling, and Mr. SCABLETT elected to be nonsuited. COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, NAT 29. HODINION V. %MTGS.. Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN stated, this warts action on the warranty of a horse. The horse bad been the pro perty of a gentleman of fortune, residing near Peterbo rough, from whom the defendant purchased it ahont the end of February last; in the commencement of theen. suing month, the plaintiff purchased the horie from the defendant, under a warranty, at the price of fifty guinea. The horse had been rode gent!, once er twice, and in a very short time proved . to be completely unsound, having an ossification in the fetlock joint of the off fore leg. The purchase and warranty were proved. Mr. Sewell—l saw the horse on the 24th March last, and on examining the outer branch of the susoensary li gament of the off fore leg, near the fetlock joint, I ob served a callosity formed ; this is a consequence of pre vious inflammation; if the injury were recent, there would be a general fullness and beat in the whole joint; this was a chronic diseased joint; the horse was in the same state last week as in March; when the disease is not very extensive, rest would mike it appear better, but on the first exertion is carrying weight, the horse would go lame vain. This disease must have existed before Mr. Rodgson purchased the horse. Cross-examined—l saw the horse about ten days after the purchase, and again last week. Horses are very lia ble to injuries in that part by a twist of the foot; still, however, I think the horse was diseased in that joint before the Bth ; if the hope bad been led op from Peter borough without any weight on his back, the part would not have been more in ured ; a little gentle • exercise, without carrying weight, is often beneficial to a horse. Mr. Sergeant PELL addressed the Jury for the de. fondant. Three witnesses proved that they had ridden the horse before the purchase by the plaintiff, end that be then appeared perfectly lona Mr. Edward eiilemsn, Professor to the Veterinary College, was then caned aid said, I first saw tio d borse on last Monday; I found the off fore leg enlarged oa the outside of the fetlock joint; the enlargement is a increased ossification of that bone extending a little wa up thelogament. It is so obvious, that any person the least acquainted with horses roust perceive it; it fs im possible to say how long it has existed ; it might have existed for years, but oo the facts sworn t s this day, I think it could not lisp existed when the horse was purchased ; the man who shod the horse might nut have perceived the injnry, though the inanimation might then have been in existence, as the sulifits attend to no thing bat merely putting on the shoe. SURREY SESSIONS. --...0.-- .Rraßem Reed was indicted for robbing the bar of Mr. Strudwicke, of the Crown public-house, Blackman-st. B r ills' • t smeared that the rimier, wbo is a journevman Weer oat of employ, bad been engaged by Mr. titrud wlelopoolele from .motives of charity, for some time b4praolle 'Aim; in jobbiog abo7t the house, but had die prisoner Iseiviotrotunds 016 of his companions, weppernitled..tcr sleep in the tap , room, and on the following morning it was discovered that the. indow. of. tbe bar, which by ; mistake was -left unfastened, had been opened, and that the till,,whieb was left in the room the preceding night io error, bad been robbed of gold and silver to the amount of nearly six pounds. Suspicion fell on the prisoner, and an oG Beer on searching a waistcoat which gad had immedi ately before thrown of 4 found a small Hoes bag, in which was the greater part of the property. The pri tomer confeued having committed the offence, and plead ed intoxication as an excuse for his misconduct. 'These facts were duly proved, and the Jury returned • a Verdict of Gailig. Mrs. Strudwicke recommended the prisoner, who ap peared extremely penitent, to the merciful consideratirro of the Court, he baring been a long time out of cm ploy, and having a wjfe and two children totally depend. eat on him for support. The CHAIRMAN under the impression that the priso ner was not inured to crime, and that he was realty is distress at the time of the robbery, sentenced him to the mitigated punishment of three month, imprison meet in Brixton House of Correction. and to be kept at hard labour. James Johnson was indicted for obtaining by false pretences from William Williams eight shillings, and various articles of clothing. Mr. Tnestovt, as Counsel for the prosecution, said the prisoner bad an iggenions mode of procuring money and goods from different people about town—the way be effected his scheme was, by learning the umes and connections of the prisoners confined in the House of Correction, at Brixton he would then !co to some of their friend., and represent that be bad lust been dis charged from the prison, and was the bearer of a letter Rum some person in confinement, pray ing for assistance. The plan was carried on with such judicious manage ment, that the prisoner seldom or ever failed of obtaining eithEr money or goods, and in the present instance be WAS successful in procuring both. William Williams, the prosecutor, stated that be was a coal and a potato ;leiter, at No. 3, Bermoodsey-square. On the 30th of April last, the prisoner went to his home, and said bit dame was Jones, and had . that day been liberated from Brixton, and had brought a leVer for him from Michael Lemao, a man with whom Wil- Hams was formerly acquainted. [The letter was reed— it . purported to he signed by Leman. who is actually a pnioner, and stated that he was suffering the great& hardships and privations in the prison, and had it mit been for the kindness gag attention of the bearer, the. , prisoner, who bad parted wit:. his last alipag for his tilkEhe believed he shoolci never have heir able to have eitnived his troubles. Jones (he said), had been dis 'charged from the prison in the greatest (Ramis, and he 'Wrested Mr. Williams on the recollection of the former intimate friendship which bad existed between thew, to give bum some few shillings on his account, and also to seed him (Leman), a shirt, and some other wearing apparel, which he was much in want of. The prisoner having ao Counsel, the Chairman examined dhilreeord on his behalf, sod it appearing that there were some technical informalities, in the mode of setting out the letter, the Court decided that those differences were fatal to the indictment, and directed the Jury to acquit **prisoner, miliclithey instantly .did. The same prisoner was placed at the barrows similar jehargeof defranding Wm. Black of 9s. sad s questity of wearing appirel. • In support of this indictment Wm. Black the younger, who is a convicted felon, was brought into Court by a Writ of Habeas Corpus, to prove that the letter by which the fraud bad been effected was not written to his Other, with bit concurrence or'flcaowledge ; but the Coat, acting as pommel for the prisoner, decided that as Black the younger 'Watt still tainted with felony, his evidence could not be ad afissible in a Court of Justice, Oki the prisoner waft there fore acquitted on this charge also, He was, however, de tained and sent hack to Union Hall, and there examined be fore L. B. Allen, Esq. for another offence of the same kind, And remanded to a future day to give time to complete the ,evidence to be brought against him. Henry Eraes and James Kitson were charged with steal =Lour pair of sheets, several pair of shoes, and various articles belonging to Henry Evans, the father of the }dieser Evans. The prosecutor, who is a poor shoemaker, living In Wei worth, stated that his son lived in the same house with him, and that, unfortunately, he had got acquainted with a set of disorderly young men, since which his titbits had bees most Irregular ant distressing. For some time past his house bad been continually pilfered of small articles, and one fright, towards the end of April, the street door having been left unfastened for the boy to come in, he took that oppor tunity while his mother and father were in bed, to carry of nearly the whole of their stock of linen, and several pair of shoes, which Kitson, who was waiting on the outside, re wired, and conveyed away. They were accused of the theft the next day, and both of them, :Ao far from denying it, boasted in having frequently robbed their friends before; and threatened, in a very determined manner, to do the per son who spoke to them a serious injury, If he did not desist from troubling himself about them. The father of Evans was the principal "vitae'', and in him there appeared a strong disposition to conceal the me lancholy facts which would confirm his sou's guilt; so much so that the Chairman was compelled to tell him that painful as his situation must be, he was bound to the country to re late all he knew of the transaction, and if he persisted in withholding the truths, the Court would be under the neces sity of committing him to prison. The case having bean made clear against the prisoners, the Jury found them Guilty, and they were each sentenced to seven years trans portation; both of them being known and before punished as incorrigible thieves. POLICE. Massiox-cou sc.—Yesterday a baker named Dixon, who resides in Little Esstchesp, charged a flour-factor, of Mark lane, with having sold to hint flour mixed with some material which injured the flavour and colour of the bread made from the article. It appeared from the statement of the complainant, that se veral bakers in the metropolis have been subjected to heavy losses in custom, as well as in the immediate and irreparable injury to their stock by being supplied by flour-factors with flour adulterated in a vary high degree. This adulterate° was supposed to be accomplished by mixing with the wheat flour, large quantities of barley, rye, or bean-flour, or some inferior farinaceous substance, which only resembled wheat-, flour in colour, and which, when worked up, gave the bread a sour and disgusting taste. The complainant said he had received no less than 73 bushels of flour, one-half of which was the material of which he complained. The case was then ordered to stand over for investigation on a future day. TAos. ro►ter. the boy who drove the Greenwich coach, and ran over Mr. Fiulayson, was brought up for a final main- .ition. _ '• The certificate of the !surgeon was produced, stating that Mr. Finlayson was going on well towards recovery, after the amputation of his leg, and might now be considered out of danger. The LORD MAYOR, under these circumstances, was wil ling to admit the prisoner to bail. His Lordship declared his intention of prosecuting with severity any one of those drivers who, either by negligent or furious driving, endan gered the lives or limbs of his Majesty's subjects. Not a day passed in which they had not some instances of the wan ton carelessness of the drivers of these short stages. It was but yesterday that Mr. Payne. one of the City of; fieeri, Will ran over at Edmonton, by a stage conch, which was racing with another. Tne law must be put in force with the utmost severity, to protect the public from the auleance: fautcnnau..—Abont six weeks ago a young female of very reputable appearance was brought before. the then Sit ting Magistrate (Mr. Aid.

Compter. Her conduct before the Magistrate Winced the belief that her mind was disordered, and she sou directed to be taken are of in the Isfirmary there, where she remained for tree or four days, apparently under the Inifuelace of insanity. Der log this period she talked incoherently of Mrs. Duncan, of Brunswick-square. of Capt. Drown, of Whitechapel, and her I undo at SbiAds tke. 11cr name she stated, during this pa rosysm, to be Matilda Maria Temple, and her age between meaty-one and twenty-two. At length she seemed gradually to recovee.her reason, and then told the followlig welhoon• meted story— She was the only child, she said, of Mr. Temple, of Milstoncastle, Shields, the proprietor of several extensive Goal pits there ; at his death, about four years ago, she had been deprived, by some claims that bad been set up against the property, of all that he bad left, and weat to reside with an uncle, at Newcastle; and subsequently, on account of some disagreement s with a female acqualm sum at the same place; having a great desire sooome to Leiden, this lady wrote to her brother in London, to meet her on the arrival of the ship, and to $6B her placed in some respectable hon. e as a l odger, nstil oho, could procure the situation of companion to a lady. She at tired in, London a few days before Christmas last, was inot,hy the supposed brother, who took charge of her tracks and herself, saying, beowas about to place her with Mrs. Duncan, a lady of respectability in Beenswick square; after driving about in the coach for a great length of tine, they alighted where there was a large archway across the road, and a clock projecting over the street, and they went op a n arrow passage to a house where she bad been confined, till the morning . of the day she was foetid near the Canal, On the first night of her arrival at the house, the gentleman gave her supper and wine, and in the morning she discovered he had been with.her all tight, tad had effected her ruin while she was in a state of stupefaction.. He called several times afterward", but she had not seen him for some days, and understood he bad gone to sea previous to her effecting her escape. The person why had got possession of her father's property, she stated, was a Mr. Brown, Mile End Road. , 1, This story was believed, and the girl, by direction of Sir Claudius S. Bawer (who was the Magistrate next is rotation, and was made acqnainted with the ficts,) committed to the care of Mr. Jones, the consta ble who originally had her in custody, and who took her tobis own house, from whence she applied, as she said to Mr. Brown, who had received her kindly, ant wished her to remain with him (Jones) till proper clothes could be provided for her, when he would send her back into the country. Under these circumstances she re mained with the constable's family for four or five weeks, when she at length disappeared, and on inquiry. Mr. Brown neither knew or had ever heard of such person. Sunday evening last, she was apprehended at another Iran of the canal, playing off the same trick of attempt. ing to drown herself; she was prevented by an officer, and taken to Worship-street, from whence she was sent by the Magistrates to be taken care of in St. Luke's workhouse, under the idea, from the incoherency of her manner, that she was not in her rigbt mind. Her old friends in the city beard of the 'Air, and she was in consequence brought up again yesterday, at this office. before Mr. Alderman Bridges, Sir C. S. Hunter also at. tended. when her real history was fully disclosed by a letter which Mr. Joints's. the Vestry Clerk or SL AO.: drew's, had received in answer to his inquiries from Mr. Straker, of the Walker Colliery, near Newcastle, and which stated, thst the real name of the prisoner was Ann Robson, that ber father and brother were labouring men at the coal pits there ; that about four years ago, a young man, named Wigham, to whom she was to have been married, was accidently killed at the West Moor pit ; since which she could never settle to any thing, and they thought her at times insane. Mr. Brown knows nothing of the girl, and she ap peared, bad used his name, as knowing he was con. nected with the Temple Coal Mines. After some consultation between Mr. Alderman Bridges, Sir C. S. Hunter, and the City Solicitor, the prisoner was directed to be taken care of, till sha could be conveyed back to her friends. Bow-srnmer.—A Solicitor, attended by several trades men, applied at this office to Sir It. Bra no and Taos. HALLS, Esq. for a warrant against a woman for obtain ing goods to a very large amount by false and fraudulent pretences. The solicitor rated that the woman, who was of dash ing habits and imposing manners, had, by a well ar ranged plan, duped the tradesmen alluded to out of goods to the amount of several hundred pounds. She first of all applied to him, representing herself to be the'sole surviving relation of an eminent builder lately deceased. who bad died intestate, and that she was entitled to his property, and desiring ha would take such steps as were necessary to put her in possession of it. He undertook the matter, and proceeded with all possible despatch with the preliminary parts of the business. In the interim she went to the tradesmen, on whose behalf be was now ap plying, and (baring previously taken a house) ordered goods of the most expensive description to be sent home, which she was to have upon credit. She told them the same story as to her recent acquisition of fortune, and referred *CM to him for the truth of her statement, and he having no doubt upon the subject, confirmed as far as he could all that she bad said. The goods were supplied, but it had since bees discovered that ber story was a string of falsehoods; that she bad a mother and other relations living. and that she was not entitled to a ski!. ling of the deceased builder's property. She was now in possession of the goods, and had openly avowed her inten tion to sell them, The Magistrates were both decidedly of opinion that this was not a case within the statute of false pretences, observing that the woman had merely told a parcel of naked lies, which by common caution might have been detested and exposed. HATTON-OARDEN.—Yesterday Mary Bradley. aged 14, hlizabeth Duman, aged 14 and Bridget Connor, aged LI years, were brought up in the custody of Jo. sepb Cadby and Francis Felten, street-keepers on the Foundling Estate, on the following charge The prisoners, in company with another girl not in custody, were going from house to house on pretence of selling flowers, which the youngest of the prisoners carried in a basket; they went into an old clothes shop, under the Colonnade. whence they stole a black silk spencer and a sew pair of children's shoes, from thence they went into an opposite shop, on pretence of buying some gingerbread nuts, from whence they stole a new g own, which was missed as they were going out; they were stopped and searched, when, under the flowers in the basket, were found the spencer and three pair of new shoes—also a bricklayer's trowel, which it appeared they had stoles from a building near Buelonocriare whilst the °weer was at dinner; the gotta was net found, it being carried elf by the girl who tasted bee escape.
