PRATT ANII, 0711118: This was an action of trespass. Mr. Srogsfs stated, that the defendants in tisk ease, Isere well aware of the difficulty of their situation, When they bad brought together in the bee, a fall Spatial Jury of the most respectable men, of the inspectable county of Norfolk. H. had nu other motive iu remind• log the Jury, that this cause was tried before, except to .eis peen, his own satisfaction, that the case waste be fully investigated, and on the part of his client, he was equally ratisfiett the result would be favourable to hies. The plaintiff, Mr. Fleming, was a wine merchant in Yar mouth. He did not know that be kept a gio shop. as his Learned Friend would again, *she did on the former oe . asion, contend. The circumstances, oat of which the. cause of action grew, were shortly these.. A young lady named Simonds, was left an orphan at an: earlyi age. She was ebusinto the plaintiff. Was aniline! to a fortune of between 3 and 40001. sad was early placed at thh iespectable school of bliss Reeves, if Yarmouth, by her guardians, MI airs. Worship and Borret. She wait allowed, of course, to visit her relations, and the plaintiff among the rest, who althongls not se rich as she, yet were equally respectable. On the Christmas of last veer, her guardians took her from thieschool, end placed berwitb a Mrs. Dade. This was on the 13th Felt. A party of her relations was to be oo the day following at the plaintiff's, her cousin. She was there with the consent of her guardians. While spending the evening happily with a large and respectable patty of her relatioss, the defendant* entered the house, and was guilty of the trespass charged in the declaration. -T he three defendants, Pratt, Coble, and Shrievekstole into the house without any invitation, and acted in the trost insulting and violent manner, as the evidence would disclose. There happened to be a gentleman from London of the party, a respectable attorney, who ; remota strafing with the defendants, was insulted and assaulted by them. They said they came on the part of the guardians, to demand the young lady. These defendants were police officers, who, of course, were to be indemni tied in this whin, by Mr. Worship and Mr. Borret, un der whose authority tbeyacted. The damages the Jury would give, were not to he proportioned to the injury done by the defendants. hut to the insult they offered. by eir violent conduct in the plaintiff's house. They catue Where they were not invited, came at an improperticae, inducted in a most improper manner, and ma e the worst use, as the Jury would learn from the witnesses, of th e authority which their employers cave them. He oas sure his client was entitled to-a verdict, but he required only moderate damages. Lucy Hant sworn.-1 was at Mr. Fleming's, on the 14;h of Janney laic, in King-street, Yarcoduth ;. there is a front and back door. There were about twenty in a ll, at the party. Miss Simonds was there. I saw the three defendant:, Pratt, Coble, and Shrieves, rushing towards the parlour door, hut stopped by a daughter of Mr. Libhis. Mr. Bonstield, a gentleman of the party, then came ioto.the kitchen, to them. They did nut krotik at the dour, Mr. Coble looking over Pratt's s' adders. at the rarlour door, said insultingly, Very rke ladies, very nicely ti d; looking to oe side blard, on which supper was laid, he said, in ajtering M snrer, Very nice tarts, very nice eating. Cross-examined—Witness said, I was there as char wooaaa. Mr. Fleming kept no servants. He has lived shout two years in this house. lie kept the Queen's If!.id before ; that was a common pnblic.bouse. h lire a ith a person named West, in Half moon-row. I lived there seven years.

I ant Attorney in this cause. I was in Yarmouth on the 14th of January. I was in Mr. Fleming's parlour when the defendants entered the kitchen. I went out and asked for their authority for entering the house. They asked for Mr. Libbis, for whom they said they bad a letter. I called him out.— They gave the letter. I said the letter was no authority for entering Mr. Fleming's !tense. They produced ano tb 1' parr signed by Miss Simonds!, gnardiuns. I told them that was no authority, and I wouldedvise Mr. Fle ming to bring an action against the guardians for sign. leg it. I out the paper into my pocket fur that purpose. Pratt and Coble seized me by the collar, an-I after a strag gle wrested it from we. I gave them may card and asked their names, which they gave. I told them they were committing a very illegal act, and I advised them to quit the plaintiff's house in a moment. Coble, in an insulting mintier, said " I remember when I was at school sixty um:ciente made a second, a moment is gone already,"— T.,en, said I, " I require you to quit the plaintiff's liouse immediately, or an action of trespass will be bronght against you (I forgot to state that the lirst thing 1 asked them was, had they a habeas corpus?") Thee said they should not go without the young lady. I told them the young lady was in the house, but she would not k given t.pou that auchority,hist would betaken (oars.

They went away, after be. ing in the house about three quarters of as hour.— Their conduct was very insulting. They said to me, " come, my good fellow, what are your doing hem?" Said f, "do not good fellow me; lb duel woos to be good followed by such as you." I and her tivo.cousins saw Miss Simonds home to Mrs. Dade's that naming. It was a respectable faintly piety.

Fleming's. I found her there when I wedt.iii the evening. She was about seventeen years old. I saw'the defindaots that night rush up to filc..Fleming's .parlour door, and act ae described by the former witness. Miss Siinonds often visited Sr. Fleming, who was for • merly an offiner is the hairy. . Cross-examined-1 was smoking erben.the defeedents UMW up to the parfoui door. 1 had Mm. Daders permit sioo is the morning to call for Miss Simonds, but she re feeed her in the eveisiog. I never told her she acted un like a ge.atiewomas in. refusing me. 1 heard Mrs. Dade was a clergyman's widow. I- don't know that she had grown daughters. Miss Heaves sworn—Cheep a boarding school at Yee month. Miss Simonds was ten years at my house. • was at this party the evening In question. I heard a very great bustle. Cross-examined.--I felt extremely hart that Miss Si monds was removed from me, I had then two young Lk. sliesbeyond her ago; I heard of Mrs. Dade. and that she bad two growerdliaghters. I know nothing of their accomplishments. Miss Simonds visited the plaintiff, with the permission of her guardian, Mr. Worship, but when Mr. Fleming took the tavern in the market, tasked Mr. Worship, waeshe to go there; he said he did not mind her going, as be had" no objection but to the situa tion. To his question, I answered, invitations came about twice in a half-year. He said as they did not come oftener, he felt a delicacy in preventing her going. He afterwards left the Half-Moon tavern, and went to ' the Queen's Head public-house. He is now a wine-mer chant and does not retail any thing. The guardians ne• ver, to the best of my recollection, refused her leave to go to that house. On the 13th of January, Mr, Worship, Mr. liorret, and Mr. Libbis came to me, and the plain. till who was there, expressed a wish that Miss Simonds would drink tea with him that evening, Mr. Worship absolutely refused. Lie never to my knowledge refused before. This was the case be the.plaintiff. Mr. Rocs% for the defendants said, this action was no doubt in reality an action against Mr. Worship and Mr. Barret, fur he did not think they would have acted cre ditably to themselves, if they did not iudetnuify the defen• daunt, who acted under their authority. He appealed to the Jury whether those gentlemen, who were placed in the delicate aitsation of guardians to this young could have acted otherwise than they did. Miss Simonds was then 15 years of age, and bad acquired the solid pars of a lady's education. They properly placed her in the house of Mts. Dade, who was a respectable widow of a clergyman, and whose accomplished daughters might be companions io her amusements, and examples for her imitation. From Miss Reeves, who was certainly much affected by the removal of Miss Simonds from her house, the Jury had it in evi.leoce that die guardians positively refused on the 13th to allow Mio; Simonds to ga to the plaintiff's on the 14th. Mr. Libbis aware of that, went to Mrs. Dade's in the morning of the 14th, and rota promise that she would allow the young lady to go to Mr. Flour ing's that evening, but having learned Mr. Worship's de termination in the course of the day, she said.in the eve ning, when Mr. Libbis went for her, that she could not allow her to go. The young lady went, however,. and the Jury could not doubt but Mr. llousfield, who said he was down on business with the plaintitf•'s brother. was in the house of the plaintiff in expectation that the guar dians would send to demand the lady. His first question, whether they had a Habeas Corpus, proved they were prepared fur the visit. It did little credit to that Gen- Gelman to attempt to detain front the defendants the an thority under which they acted, and by which they might afterwards protect themselves in an action. They used so more violence towards•hiw than was necessary to get back that paper. This case differed from o'her cases of trespass, for the plaintiff here was liable to an action under the statute of one of the Charles's, for seducing the ward of thoie guardians. If a justification was en tered on the record, then he would contend that he w•as entitled to a verdict; but the defendants having pleaded Not Guilty, a verdict should be given to the plaintiff; but he hoped the Jury would see that. the least possible damages would satisfy the justice of the case. He trusted they would show their indignation at this petti fogging attempt at an action, the result of which could be useful to none but the Attorney who advised it. The Jury, having beard his Lordship's charge, and having consulted together a few minutes, said they would find a verdict for the plaintiff, gi►ing him the smallest, possible damages, s f that both parties would have to pay their own costs. A verdict was therefore recorded for the plaintiff—Damages One Farthing.

Mr. Tally add• ed, that on Wednesday morning last, his son came to town and spent the day with him (the father), and left his house about five o'clock to return by the coach to Twickenham, and since then he heard nothing of hint until he fortunately saw his name in the paper.

AlAlli-111-130:48 °rms.—Yesterday the Justice-room was much crowded, in conseqmisce of the examination of five desperate youthful housebreakers, the eldest not more than sixteen, and the youngest only ten years old, who were captured by Staples, an active otherr of this establishment, on the charge of breaking and entering the premises of Mr. Mathew Wood, the tin and hardware warehouse, in Elliot's-row, New-road. The delinquents gm their names, A/alike:a Cranford, Charles and Jews IN:on (brothers), Saingel Phillips, and Thomas Thompson. The prosecutor stated, that on the night of the 14th nit. he and his family retired to bed at their usual hour, after securing the doors of his premises. About four o'clock next morning he was awoke by an incessant knocking at the door; he leaped out of bed and opened his chamber window, under which stood the lamplight .r, who Wormed him that his house had b .en entered and robbed ; witness proceeded instantly down stairs into the shop and endeavoured to open the door, but it was lin , pregnable, being secured with a rope, which the robbers hail made fast to the knocker, and to the rails of the adjoining house to prevent any of the family get•ing out and pursuing them; at length the cord was loosed by the lamplighter, and on a light beingprocured it was discovered that the robbers had effected their entrance by taking out a pannel of one of the shutters, and re moving a square of glass from the shop float with a glazier's diamond, though which a boy must have en teed, and then have given entrance to the rest of the' gang by unbolting the shop door. The shop was almost emptied of its stock in trade , comprising tin and copper ; ware, fix. lice. On the morning of the robbery, passing j through Boston-place, be saw sitting on a bank by the side of a field, the three prisoners, Crawlerd and the two Dixons; all three on seeing bins tied acros s the fields. Witness did not follow them, hut took his station in concealment, and having mentioned the circlet mstance to. a person named Fenn, they jointly watched their ma nceuvres ; whilst there the prisoner Thompson came up to the hank, with a donkey in a cart, but seeing he was observed by witness, lie took the donkey from the shafts, and retreated. On going to the bank again, they dis covered part of the stolen property lying in the (Blab underneath, together with some articles of dress belong in to the prisoners.

ALLart, Esq. charged with hawing imposed upon several persons. Mr. Thomas, a granary keeper at Horselydown, stated that the prisoner came to his wharf on Monday last, and represented himself to be the son of a captain of one of his (witness's) barges, and that the barge, which was on its passage from Maidstone to London, was at Gravesend, but would be in the River next tide. The boy spoke in such a manner, that no doubt was entertained of the truth of what he said. He then mentioned that he was in want of a lodging until his father should arrive, and requested the assistance of the witness, who immediately had a lodging provided for him at the Rose public house in the neighbourhood. The following morning, the prisoner, on getting up, went to the landlord of the pub lic house in which be slept, repeated to him what he had stated MAIL Thomas, requested the loan of five shillings. and promised to discharge the debt the moment the Cap. tab arrived; the money was leot to him; the barge ar• rived io two days, and the master was informed that his moo was waiting for him at the Rose public house most anxiously. The barge master was astonished to h ear dint his son was is London, and went to ask him the cause, but upon being introduced to the prisoner as the father of the boy, he was astonished to see a person whom he bad never seen Wine.

GUILDHALL—Margaret Denis was charged yester day before the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Ald. G RRATT, with robbing Mr. It. J. Draper, china and earthenware dealer, Fleet-market. at whose house she lived as servant. The prisoner, it appeared, had been in her place only about six days; on Saturday night last, whilst she was out as was supposed on some small errand, Mrs. Draper happened to go to her drawers, and found them com pletely stripped of their contents. Upon inquiry, she learnt from a little boy who had seen the servant go out, that she had two large bundles- with her. The girl, of coarse, never returned, and Mr. Draper, after many fruit less inqoiries, and ultimately getting the facts inserted in the robbery-hook at Bow street, gave up the property as lost.
