~.,"'.'' 411 - ' HERTFORD, JULY 10. CIVIL SIDE. - PRYOR 0 NICROLLS,AND This was an action to recover the sum of N. 16a the exFrose of maintaining a pauper during a temporary . ill. ness. The defendants paid the sum of 31. Its. 6J. into Court, and the sum in dispute was 4s. 6d. which the de fendants alleged to have been overcharged. Ile plain tiff was a publican at London Colney. and the defendants • were Overseers of the parish of St. Peter, within the li berty of St. Albin's. A labouring man, named Britton, mho belonged to St. Peter's, being taken dangerously ill in London Colney, took up his abode in the plaintiff house, and one of the defendaate being applied to for re lid, ordered him to be attended hy the parish apothecary. and promised to pay the lstintiff the necessary expenses attending his illness.He was confined to his bed a Week, and was exceedingly ill altogether for a fortnight. He was attended day and night by a nurse, and several witnesses deposed to the fairness pf the demand. The defendants resisted some trifling items of the plaiatiff's account, amounting to the sum above mentioned. The trial lasted for I hours, and in the result the plain tiff recovered a verdict for the whole demand. To recover this sum the law expenses malt have amounted silent to the sum of 1001. with the greater part of which the defendants' parish must be saddled, the cause being defended by a vote of vestry. This was the only case worth mentioning. CROWN SIDE. Joseph White, James Woad, and Joseph Ludlow were indicted for rubbing Richard Parker's Oxford Van, at Rickmans North, on the Bth May,*f property to a con• eiderable amount. Ii appeared in evidence, that the Oxford Van set out from London in the evening of the .8:b May, laden with various packages directed to differ ent places between London and Oxford. Between Gee refire Cron and Uxbridge, the Van stopped to change horse., and it was supposed' that in the interval, the prisoners contrived to. rob the carriage. Soon afterwards the property in question was missing. Next morning the prisoners were seen at Rickman, North, with a horse and smelt cart, heavily laden. Their conduct excited suspicion, and several persons thought it right to watch their motions. A constable named Forster, concealed himself by the road side, and watching an opportunity when the prisoner White was alone with the van, whilst the others lagged behind,sallied out, and desired to know what he had got in tlie cart. He declined giving any in formation ; upon which the constable sired him by the collar, and insisted upon detaining him. The prisoner drew a pocket knife, and made 1 stabs at the con 'able, which the latter parried * , and ultimately took him into custody. The other prisoners coming in sight, and observing she situation of - their compantoo, immediately ran into Lord Eisex's wood, where they were afterwards found concealed behind some palings, and quietly sur rendered themselves. The question new was, whether these circumstances were suthcient to attach guilt to the prisoners. . • Mr. Seep ant Oxar.ovr summoned up the evidence for the Jury ; who immediately found the prisoners Guilty. The COURT sentenced White to be transported for seven years, and the other prisoners to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve months. WINCHESTER, JULY 11, CROWN OFFICE. Joseph Chick, aged 20, a lad of very decent exterior, • acas capitally indicted for sacrilege and burglary, in having f 'reed ern, on the Bth of June Last, the parish church of St. Thomas, Portsmouth, and 'steelng therefrom two bat-' ties, the one containing wine,with putt and other value.

It was on the 120 of June that be discovered the loss. James Bushman stated that he was a peace officer, and examined the premises in consequence of being applied to on the 12th of June. He found six different locks tedium in and about the chunk and vestry; a pane of glass was also taken oat, which left a hole or cavity large enough to admit any person's arm. There were marks about the wall that bare the impression of a violententry. George Sims, a-relation of the prisoner, was then call ed. He was a young man, and apparently labouring un der some infirmity of health. He gas examined by Mr. Missing, Counsel for the prosecution, and disclosed the following evidence. He had himself just come fritter Win chFster gaol, whither Le had been taken from Portsmouth. He hail been taken into custody there the day after pri sonar, whom he bad seen once eince. He had met the between eleven and twelve o'clock at night, in High-street, and prisoner said he must nave some money. It was not the first time that lie had talked with the prn toner about the ease with which this church might be broken open and entered. He had ne- s .er proposed any pan of the sort himself. He well recollected, however, the act row under investigation. It took place about twelve o'clock et night, and he, the witness, hesitated for acute time, during which period he walked with the pri soner through several streets, and at length went with him into lite church-yard. They could not get into the church at their first e ff ort, hut forced au entrance in a short time. They went towards the vestry, where the first objects that struck his sight were a great many books, with a coat and waistcoat. The books were in an iron chest, and he held a candle while the prisoner examined it. They took away two bottles, one containing nine, and the other empty; after which they proceeded op High-street, in the direction of Portsea. He himself put the wine under his jacket. The Counsel for the Crown declined any cross-exami nation. Thomas Edwards, a journeyman printer, likewise de posed that he was going to work on the morning of the day in question, when be saw the last witness, Sims. lie was passing aleue about three o'clock, near the Fountain- Inn, up High-street. Edward Hunt, the gaoler of Portsmouth, stated that he re.:eived the prisoner into his custody on the 41st of last month. He examined his person ,and found braces with buckles upon him. James liasliam produced the btrkles, which he swore lie had toile krown to be in the Vestry. • There was some green silk lour the braces which he also recollected to have seen before. Thomas Hill, the turnkey of Portsmouth gaol, thew delivered his terohnony to the following eff..ct. He had taken off the boots from the prisoner's feet on first receiv . in s , him. There were three nails in each, which cone- Spoiled exactly with wanks near a window of St. Tho nias's church. He had in his possaasion a board which was taken out et the same time, and found at the pri soner'. reddence ; who then , lived with his mother.— The board was immediately under the glass, and warn lege enongli to admit any body. (Here the witness I..rolueed it ) In answer %, question put by the Judge (Mr. Justice E -.sr) the witness stated that lie aeconipaniel the Mayne of the t 0.5 nin exaiMning the church. He had also some conversation with the prisoner at different times upon tl is surge. t. The prieoner told him that he lead struck ore of ill. ho ties against Mr. Webb's wall, and had thrown the ether into the sea. The Judge informed the prisoner that if Le had any defeuce to utfer, the present was the time. Several respectable witnesses were in attendance to Eire the prisoner an excellent character, but were not called ; and Mr. Justice Best at once summed up We evidence, Verdiet—tluilty. Yerdi~K— STATRSMAN OXFORD, JULY 10. This morning the Assizes commenced before Mr. Justice PARK and Mr. Baron Howica. The 9oriner delivered an , Address to the Grand Jury. He commenced by congratulating them upon the state of the calendar, which although numerically heavy, was light in crime. Adverting to the punishment of the tread-mill, his Lordship declared his entire conviction that it had extensively diminished crime, and expressed his regret that it had not been adopted in the comity of Oxford. " I think," observed the Learned Judge (Mrs Justice Park) ) " that the objections made to this modeof punishment, ire unfounded; it does not prove injurious to the health of the prisoners, and I think that offenders should not be living in prison in greater luxury thaw those they have injured ; hut that they ought to be em ployed every moment during the period of confinement for their crimes, although every article should he sifurded them which is necessary forfood and cleanliness." Al luding to an important Act lately passed, respecting cap pital sentences, his Lordship . said, " There is one Act which has made gaunt materwl alteration in my situation and that of any brother Judges, which 1 think will be at tended with very beneficial consequences, viz :—giving the Judges the power not to pass sentence of death where they do not mean to order execution to he done on the criminal ; but they are empowered to eater the sentence' on the record. All capital convicts, who receive the sem tome of death, !mistime will be left for execution." The following prisoners were convicted on Thursday :. --JohaSione, a youth in the service of Mr. Cousins, a Oentlemen residing at Watlingdon, in this toasty, in dicted for stealing a variety of property belonging to. Mrs. Latham, a very . young and interesting widow, the daughter of Mr. Cousins; and Thos. Wharton and Won. Ba&oelc, young men, residents of Word, who- were indicted fur stealing two coats, the property of Charles Macksilister, in the University College. Os Friday, Jas. Bishop was found guilty of breaking into, and stealing (tons, the house of Win. Steptoe, of Seafield ; and John Day and Jas. Child of taunter - of in the house of James tioodenough , at Preston Cowmarsh. The following were convicted of robberies in the Colleges: Wm. Kern, indicted for baring obtain ed by false pretences, Is. from Edward 'frueman, Commoner of Worcester College; and Sarah Howard, charged with feloniously stealing from the rooms of Mr. Wm. Butler, Commoner of Exetes College, on the 29th of May last, three 5/. notes of the Bunk of Messrs. Cox 'end Morrell. his property. This prisoner was laundress of the College, and was in the habit of com ing to the rooms and taking the clothes. His Lordship in passing sentence, observed that he ought to mention one thing in this prisoner's case, which was a most un warrantable crime; viz. writing letters to him in Lon don, the Judge, who was to try the tense. Tbe only effect of such ispplications ;mild be to make the sen tence more severe. She was sentenced to imprison ment and hard labour for one year.. 1 upon any man's head,•bnt if a person was "officiated,' it might hit Lim where he'd feel it. The Loan MAYOR ordered the defendant to give hail. ClutLae+LL.—Rickard Shadriek, the owner and driver of the hackney coach, No. 53, and James Wilkiason, a master cooper, who gave his address, No. 78, Bruns wick Mews, Brunswick square, were charged yesterday before the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Alderman VgNs. Inns with a brutal assault upon an unfortunate girl Isf the town, named Frances Green, who stated, that as site was passing near the watering house at the corner of liarilett's buildings, Holborn, the prisoners, without the slightest provocation, seized hold of her, the one by the bead and shoulder., and the other by her feet, and were ' about to throw her into the watering cistern. Heretics, however, fortunately brought the watch man to her as sistance before they bad completed their purpose, on whose approach they let her fall' suddenly on the pave tueut. Iter shawl in her struggle falling a little in his way, Wilkinson tore it from her shoulders and threw it into the raid, and on the watchman's coming up, ran and stood upon it as if to conceal it. Gansage, a watchman, corroborated the girl's state ment; and swore positively to the two prisoners having hold of bee at the time lie came rip. lie could nut say there was any intention to steal her shawl, but he believ ed it was thrown away merely because it incommoded them in their purpose. Therprisoners denied having ever laid hands upon the prosecutriz. Mr. Alderman VIINAPLES said he could scarcely Sad words sufficiently strong to express his indignation at the brutal conduct of the prisoners. The wretched state of a girl of that age, without a home; and forced to wander shout the streets to pickup a precarious subsistence Irons prostitution, should have excited pity fur her misery, rstbei than provoked'a brutal unmanly attack neon her person. If be had seen any reason to believe there was an intention to steal her shawl, he would have committed them both for the highway robbery,. They had evidently put her into great bodily fear, and her shawl had been forcibly taken from her. Wretched as was the conduct of any of these females, even the worst of them most be protected from such nets of wanton brutality, and lie shonid out be doing his duty as a Magistrate, if he did not bind all the parties over to prosecute. The prisoners were committed in default of bail, and the Alderman gave directions that the proseention against them should be carried on at the expense of the City. / t he poor girl (a little creature, just eighteen years of age), has been in her unfortunate situation only four months, having been driven to it by distress, in conse. quence of the mistresr, in whose service she last lived, refusing to give her a character. le reply to the atirno nitions of toe Alderman, she expressed a strong desire to return to the paths of virtue, ant under his direction the necessary means will be taken to restore her to her friend!. BOW-STRlRT.—Yesterday John Smith was brought up by Perry, and underwent a second examination upon I charges of uttering forged notes for 51. purport ing to be notes of the Bank of England. The prisoner, it appeared, had been living for a consi derable time at No. 25, Prime's -street, Drury-lane, where he gave himself out to be a commercial Dawdler. A few days before his apprehension, which tcok place yester day se'nnight, he paid a M. note to the wife of Mr. White, a cheesemonger, in Drury-lane, in the purchase of some articles of his trade. Mr. White suspected the note ,to be had, and having by ing:tiry had his suspicions con firmed, be took it to the prisoner, who said he would re morn him five sovereiens, and under that promise got bark the note. Mr. Rogers, a tobacconist, in St. Giles's, had also received a similar not... from the prisoner, and he baring mentioned it to Mr. White, the latter spoke to Perry, who apprehended the prisoner, and lodged bim in a watch-house. Bef ire the time for examination the nest day, however, he contrived to get money sufficient to pay Messrs. White and Rogers al. each, and got pus ! session of both the notes. It was then supposed there was an end of the case, but unfortunately fur the prisoner other witnesses were found against him in the course of a few hours. These were, Mr. Robertson, a hatter in the Strand ; and Mr. Preston, a music and bookseller in Soho; each of whom had received a 51. forget! note from the prisoner, who had dealt with them for hats and music. On his re-examination yesterday, Mr. John Icicle, a tobacconist, in Upper Marv-la•bonne-street, stated, that on the 3 , 1 instaA the prisoner came to his shop and ask ed bim if he did not serve Mr. Biggs, a publican, in Hound -court, Strand, with tobaccii? Witness replied in the affir native, and lie sail he was about opening a small general shop, and was recommended by Mr. Higgs to deal with the witness. Ho made a purchase which he paid for with a 51. note, writing on it, as his name and addrev, "J. Wood, 3, liound•coort." This note was returned afterwards as a forgery. Mrs. Hoskins, a tobacconist in Doswell-street, prefer• red a similar cliaeL , e. To her the prisoner gave, as bis name and address, " WiWains,2s, Kingsland•roal." The notes were proved by one of t h e B a nk inspectors to be forged. The prisoner was remanded. Wonsn►r•STßZET.—Yesterday fifteen Licensed Victual lers were sitrninoned before Samuel Twyford and John Milward, Esqrs. for keeping their houses open at late hours on Saturday night. f The evidence against them generally was for offences o a very mitigated nature, and the Worthy Magistrates ex pressed their regret, tbit while under the power of th e Act of Parliament, they felt themselves obliged to convict the dAmtlants in the most mitigated penalty, they had cat the discretion to prevent such convictions from being recordedand transmitted to the Sessions, because al though the amount of the money might he comparatively of etnalleonridera , ion, the conviction itself under the Sta tute was of great importahee to their interests in future. • In one case the summons was dismissed on the ground that the persons finnil in the house were there in the character of travellers, waiting to go by the waggon ; and, in another case, there was a similar decision, on account of the officers proving that at the time of their visiting the house„ the landlord was in the act of compelling 'his mounters to leave the house, and called upon them to aid him in carrying the law into effect. 0/ROMER'S INQUEST.—An ineinisltion was taken last night at the Crown and Anchor, King's Head -court, Shoe-lans. before Thomas Shelton,Esq. Coroner, on the body of Eli: ibeth Lewis, aged 65. Philip Lewis, husband of the deceased, deposed, that she came home about twelve o'clock on Wednesday night. He was in bed, and she returned to the street agisin; he did not think her much intoxiceol at this lime. She continued out till four o'cltick on Thursday morning, when witness heard a noise, got up. and went to the bottom of the stairs, and there saw the deceased lying with her bead against the w a inscot and her feet upon the second stair. lk imam dicele called Mr. Brown to his assistance, and they re , moved the deceased to her own apartment. Mr.Septimus Wray, a surge .n in Flettostteet, was sent for, who cause immediately, and pronounced her dead. When the de. cea •ed had b en thinking he could never keep her at b orn M r . J. Wray, surgeon, deposed he was called upon on Thur clay morning to visit the deceased ; on examining her he found her neck completely broken, which no doubt had been the effect of the fall. Mr. Browm, a lodger In the aims house, said she was con. Mandy in the habit of getting drunk, and falling from one flight of stabs to Oil. other.—Vertlict—AccuLntal Deatb, through lutcaxiaation. NORTHAMPTON ASSIZES. At Northampton Assizes, which commenced on Mon day last, there were only four law causes ent-red, two special jury and two common jury causes, and one of the latter was referred.—There were 43 prisoners fur trial. ARNABV•I3 BaNatturrcr.—On Wednesd'y the validity of this commission of bankroptey, which has made so much noise in the counties of Northampton and Lincoln,. from the daring and unprecedented opposition which has been made to it, came on to be tried before Mr. Baron Barrow and a full and most respectable special jury, in the way of an action brought by Thomas Arnsby, one of the bankrupts against Thomas Stredder, the messen ger under the commission, for breaking and eatering the plaintiff's house at Tansor under the commissioners' warrant, to which the defendant pleaded a justification. The entry by the defendant being proved, and the plain tiff's counsel having declared t'.at they would only con test the p ilnt whether the bankrupt had or had not traded so as to render himself liable to the bankrupt laws, Mr. Claims, the defendant's counsel, stated to the Jury that he should call witnesses who would prove re peated dealings by the bankrupt in valuable horses not fit or intended for the purposes of his farm, nor used thereon, nor in any manner incident to the plaintiff's business as a fprtner, which would entitle the defendant to a verdict. I - le then proceeded, in a most energetic manner, to expose some of the practices of the bankrupts and their coadjutors to defraud their creditors for a considerable time past; in doing %%bleb, be animadverted in the severest terms possible upon the conduct of the plaintiff's attorney, and that of his partner or agent (who was present in court), • • • • • • • [The observations of the Learned Counsel were such as out of regard to possible consequences, we do not think it right to report in a mere outline of lit passed.) Mr. BARON Gastnow, in his address to the jury, made no observation calculated to remove the effect of Mr. Clarke's observations, which were perhaps the most se vere ever heard in a court of justice; hat his L9rdship hinted his own surprise that an indictment for a conspi racy had not been sooner resorted to against all the par ties. He apologized to the jury for the apparent insult to their understandings in supposing they could have one moment's hesitation upon their verdict, and declared his only reason for addressing them at all was that the audience might not retire without bearing the opinioaof the Judge as well as that of the Jury; and he said be could not let slip the opportunity of expressing astonish ment and censure that the bankrupts should so long have been suffered to set the laws at defiance, which lie de clared was no small dis grace to the police of the country, the whole force of wh ich ought to Lave been raised if necessary to prevent it. The Jury, without a moment's hesitation, gave a ver dict for the defendant, thereby establisbiog the bank ruptcy. POLICE. Mexitoti Hovss.—A master carpenter, named Mar. chant, was bronght before t.te Lord Mayor, charged by a Jew named Levi with having broken into his house, tak ing away his staircase and the back-door, and threatened to murder any one who should oppose him. Levi stated, that at an early hour yesterday morning he was disturbed by a loud knocking at his front doer. On looking out he sxtv the prisoner, who demanded en trance, saying, that he came by the landlord's order to make improvements in the place. Witness said he want ed no improvements, and desired the carpenter to go about his business. Yes, do that, observed the car• penter, and walked round to the hack-door, which he battered with a hatchet, until it fell in. The hatchet was then app Led to the staircase, which alsci gave way to the dextrous strokes of Alarchant, who paid no atten tiod to remonstrance or enticaty, or to the sr reams of the fee :ales on the first dour, lions whom he cut off all means of communication, except by larder. He then threat ened to use his hatchet against the head of any one who sh.mld oppose him, an I was carrying olf the timber, when a constable took him into custody. The Loan Maims expensed his astonishment at such proceeding, and asked tor some explanation. Mareharit said he had been employed by tbp rs lord to put up a new door and a new staircafr, and as Mr 'Levi was web an enemy to his own interest, it was +op posed to be no harm to compel him to acacias of a service. Mr. Nobler—Why, my good man, yin night as well pull an old coat off a Matt in the street, and put a new one on him. What do-you mean by that rude civility ? Muchar.t said, be had noldet of agog the hatchet -T LONDON MARKETS. (From Cotobetes Register ) Cray, JULY 9, 1823. BAcotlt.—The traders beidn to be really alarmed. Some have adopted the wise course of genic:: out of stock on the best terms they can : for this purpose they are employing some of the most active dryers, to sell dried to the retailers.
