Whose name is Wm. Farmer, and who holds a Cimatit at Newcastle. in Staffordshire. . There were five Magistrates present—namely, 'Theirs. Her-. risen, Esq., John Thoratoa, Esq., John Rogers, Esq., John Hedger, Esq., and Joint Reveal'', Esq. Thomas Harrison, Esq. presided as Charente. The definaant, who bad been brought by warrant from Ms residence in Staffordshire, was present, and was &Ovoidal 'art his solicitor, Mr. Richardson. Mr. Adolphus appeared as hit counsel. Mr. Hewitt, the solicitor, appeared oft the part 44 the perish, sad opened the case against the defendant in a vim few nerd*, and with greet delicacy.. He entremely . regrette he said, the Hurd task he heti to perform. and in the fella, , 1 meat of his deter should abstain 'front orgies any topics which.; were calculated to excite unnecessary prejudice, or to sggre.e sate the charge ender which the defendant labelled. He shealdeentent himself with calling his witness, - who. would ;wear thit the defendant was the father of a male child, of ehleit the bad been dellveredin the month of July list, sad lasing established this (act, It would remain with thle, Jastices to make such order as they thought proper. Manual' Forster, a decent looking weans, although not, possessing any peculiar personal attractions, was then railed and sworn. She appeared to be Abet 34 years o f age, and was accompanied by a fine boy, rather more than a month old. She was evidently mach affected by her sitentiow, tad shed teareorofitatly. From her evidence the following story was elicited :-.The defendant was a married man; abe bad known him about thirteen years, and had lived in hilt' service three years and a half ; this was seven years ago. at . Leeds. While ander his roof he bad sedeced her, bat their intercourse had not exceeded five or six tunes . On his quit ting heeds she left him. and ultimately came to live witlo the Rev. Mr. Phillips, a Dissenting Clergynuatt, on Clapham Common. Ott the time common lived a Mr. James Ogle Robinson, who had married the sister of the defendant. In the winter of last year, the defendant, from ill health, came up With his wife to spend a short time with Mr. Ro binson, and wait an occasional visitor with him at the Rev. Mr. Millet's.. On Tuesday, the 6th of November, Mr. Phillips having been unwell, Mr. Farmer agreed to preach for him in his chapel. which was at a short distance from the house. A party of ladies and gentlemen were assembled at tea in the parlour. previous to the evening service; Mr. and Mrs. Farmer ware present. After the tea, the depn. neat accidentally went into an adjoining roam, and there -unexpectedly found toe defendant. He renewed his ac quaintance with her; and, after some conversation, he ap pointed to meet her the next evening at seven o'clock, near the church on the common; he theu went to chapel. The next evening see went to the place appointed, but the de. fendant did not arrive ; she waited for a considerable time, oast length crossed the road to the shop of a tradesman near the "Plough, when by the light from the window she saw the defendant, who had kid alighted from the Clapham coach ; this was about eight o'clock; she joined him, and they walked across the cotumon till they came opposite to a gentleman's house, when that occurred which led to the prefect inquiry. She then returned home, and got into her master's house before nine. She did not see him after. wards. hhe subsequently went to live with Mr. Borrow dale on the common, antf on the 22d of July liSt WAS re torted from his house to the workhouse, Otero she was deivereci of a male child, of which she now solemely swore •the defendant was the father. • ' In the cross-examination of the unfortunate woman it ape peered that she had .hewn great reluctance to admit she et as at all pregnant, and still greater reluctance to impli care the defendant, until forced to make a oligdosure by the parish officers. It also appeared by calctilation, that the child was hut a seven and thirty weeks child. She posi tively denied ever having had intimacy with any other man besiar• the defendant. With respect to her connection with the defendant while in his service at Leeds, she said that it had h. ea discovered by her mistress 1 but that never. tbdess her mistress had given her • good character six Months after. Mr. A notion:a addressed the Bench on behalf of the de. fendant at great length, awl with much ingenuity. He ob served, that independent of the improbability of this wo man's own story, lie shod,' be able to give a complete and 'satisfactory contradiction to her statement. He then pro ceeded to point out those points of her evidence which struck him as inconsistent with truth. He particularly al luded to the state of Mr. Farmer's ill health, and asked who. ther it was at all likely that lie would have had the base. nest, almost %titbit; the hearing of his wife, and under the roof of a brothel clergyman, for whom lie was about to celebrate Maine service, to make so infamous an appoint. mint as the deponent had represented ? He would ask also, was it in the verge of possibility, first, that after her seduc tion, and living three Yeses and a half in the house of the defendant, intimacy had taken place between her aryl her master but six times; and next, that after Mrs. Farmer had discovered the profligacy of her husband, she would have given a rhatacter to this partner of his guilt, and thereby ..enabled her to pollute molt& respectable family, by her pretence. After soese further remarks, the Learned Coun sel said, that he should call witnesses, from whose testimony it would appeay, that it was utterly impossible the defend• ant could have been on Clapham Common at the time stated by the witness, inasmuch as he did not leave Charing-cross ti I after eight o'clock, and did not reach Clapham till past rine, a poke! long after that which this wretched woman bad thought proper to fix fur the consummation of her guilt.. Mr. Hitcher:ran, a Clerk in the house of Ransom and Co. Laitkers, was then called. He stated himself to have been long aequeinted with the Reverend Mr. Farmer, and that nn the 6th of Noventher became to spend the clay with him, as he was finally to take his departure from London on Friday, the toll. They went to see different Exhibitions in the aetrai Ile. and dined at a chop-house. After dinner they petite riled to witness's house, at Pimlico, to tea. In their way. however, theyatalled at the Ship at Charing-croes to tiro..v at what time the Clapham coach departed. They acre told at eight o'clock. Witness accompanied Mr. Far mer to Cliaring•cross, and saw him get up on one of Mrs. lietler's coaches. . ht cross-examination, witness said, be had no other reason fun fixing the day than that it was the Wednesday previous ..to the Friday on veiticit Mr. Farmer returned into the coun • try. -He al not know that it was a Holiday at the Bank.— : HP Itirl obtained leave of absence from his employers. Mrs. Kitchstenan was present at tea ; slits was not here as a wit • nest. lie did not hear the clock strike when he left Mr. Fernier, nor did be see the coach ge. Mr. Parrett, a Medical Gentleman, proved that lie was .. called in to Hannah Forster, at 114. Ilm inwdale's, on the 1 morning of the 21st of July. SI e complained of pains in . the lower part of the abdomen. He asked her if she was pregnant, and she said- e• No." lie examined her, amid Wm! that the paine, of labour %sere up o n h er • b ut s h e raid it was impossible, and persisted in this tills& was ac tually delivered. joint Parry, a Interwar, who attended the Clapham e nsehes at Charing Cross, proved, that Mrs. Butler's couch departed limn thence at half past eight o'clock every even. ing. They were generally tire or seven minutes at er their time if they lad to wait fur passengers that had been booked. There were other roaches to Claptiatn from the . Silver Cross, which be did Tient:end. He knew uothiug of Dlr. Partner going by the coach in Norendfere . M. Thompson, a Clerk to Mr. Richardeon, proved that be bad conic down by Mrs. Butler's eight o'clock Clap ham I coach, from. Charing Cross. and that he did not reach Battersea Rise, across the Common, till 35 minutes altar nine. . 4 rtiO_ Mr. Thomas. Phillips, nephew to the .latelldr. Phillips, for whom Mr. 'Partner had pinched in November last, proved the fact of his having se preache.. on Tuesday the kb of Not. There was a patty to ten at Mt. Phillips' :there wart parlouroppostte en &Uses& in which thepily sat. Ifs could not say whether Mr. Farmer bad left the room' for a short time before be went to the chapel or not. Tkite were four ladies present. ' Mr. Jos. Ogle Robinson, a bookseller in the City, and. living at Battersea-rise, stated that he was brother-in-law to Mr. Former; he was on a visit to his house in November last; he bad been very ill, and came up for his health ; re weatbered the night he preached for Mr. Phillips; it was on Tuesday, Nov. the sth ; was at Mr. Phillips's house, lseforr they went to meeting ; on the following day. Wed aesdsy, Mr. Farmer went to London ; did sot remember what time he came home; witness got hoMe first; Mr. Farmer's hours Were in general very early . ; be was seldom out of witness's house after 8 o'clock at night ; he was to depart for the country the next morning ; remembered being at the workhouse when Hannah Forster was examined; the question put to her was this : " Now, upon your oath, (she war not sworn) did Mr. Farmer ever take any liberties with you previous to pour meeting with him on the COIII- won?" She answered, "no man. " In cross-examination--Witness admitted that Mir. Farmer's health bad been restored in November. He did., not remember at what time. Mr. Farmer came home on the night of Wednesday, the 6th of November, or whe ther he returned on font or not. Witness Was home fitst.— He went home that night before eight. How much sooner he coned not say. The sapper tray was usually brought up between 8 and 9. Thought Mr. Farmer did not come borne till after the Supper tray wag brought in. Witness accom psnied Mr. Farmer to Mr. Phillips's, and from thence to the weetiot house, on the Tatibday. Did not notice whether he quitted the room after tea or not. This was the case for the defendant. Mr. Hartarr then thortly replied. Re denied that any thing like a clear or itatisfactorr cOstradiction had been given to the case which had been proved ion the part of the parish—on the contrary, the story of the woman had been consistent throughout, and precisely what might have been expected from a woman in her disgratiefdl sitnation. He then touched upon the various topics which had been urged by Mr. A. in favour of the defendant. and submitted, that in the circumstances to which he had alluded, there wail nothing which was not perfectly reconcilable with the fact charged. The only witness who bad been called. whose evidence at all bore upon the case, was Mr. Kitcherinae; the particular friend of Mr. Farmer; but upon contrasting his testimony with that of Hannah Forster, he was per suaded that the latter was by far the least exceptionable. He had before said he did not wish to say more on this sub: jec; than the fair performince of his duty demanded; and he should now refrain from adding any thing which was calculated to give pain. In conclusion, he could only ex press his perfect confidence that their Worships would make the order of filiation. The room was then cleared; and the Magistrates proceed: ed to deliberate on their judgment. After the lapse of an hour strangers were admitted, and the Hey. Mr. Farmer being called in, Mr. Haisalsow, the Chairman, spoke as follows: We have taken considerable' tints to examine the facts of this painful case, as we felt it our duty to do, with a due regard both to the complainant and Mr. Farmer. Upon the best possible attention we have been enabled to give the subject, we feel ourselves compelled to say, and io our . judgment it has been clearly proved, that William Farmer is the father of this child, and we adjudge William Fanner to he the father accordingly. We are, however, greatly relieved trout the responsibility of this decision, when we reflect that Mr. Farmer has an opportunity of appealing from our judgment elsewhere. Upon the best consideration, in our estimation the balance of testimony favours the opinion which we have given. Al*. Farmer will of course consult his own feelings as to whether lie will submit the circumstances to the Magistrates at large, and that he should do so is oar most anxious wish, as the doubts which have arisen in our winds will then receive a more deliberate' examination. He may also have an opportunity of coring fresh witnesses. Mr. Farmer immediately arosa and said, " Oeatlemen, I have very little to say on this subject; I am ineocent of this charge ; I cannot submit to any order of affiliation, which you may think proper to make. and 1 am determined to go to 'prison, rather than pay a single farthing towards the support of a child which is not mine ; I am perfectly innocent." The order of filiatiolt was then made out and signed by the Magistrates, as well as an order for the expences al ready incurred by the parish. Some discussion then took place as to whether entering into recogniaances, preparatory to an appeal, necessarily bound the sureties to pay any part of the costs awarded against the appellant, provided his appeal were unsucess ful, as the friends of Mr. Farmer were resolved not to sub mit to the most trifling exaction of that sort. In the end Mr. Pauper was allowed two days to con sider, whether lie would submit to time orders which were made, appeal, or go to prison.—The Sessions then ad journed, • The case has excited a good deal of interest in the parish of Clapham. The orders made were to pay 3s. 6d. per week for the support of the child, and 31. 7s. for expences hitherto in curred by the parish in medical attendance, fee. Mr. Farmer appears to be about thirty-eight years of age. POLICE. .....es.— MANSION House.—Yesterday, a man named Shearnian and his wife were charged, the husband with having stolen three valuable diamond rings, and the wife with having pawned them, knowing them to be stolen property. Mr. J. Williams, of the Auction Mart, stated that the male prisoner was employed there as a porter, and to ar range the goods fir the sales. He was ordered to arrange a sale of jewellery which was about to take place, and amongst the rest were three particular diamond rings. The jewellery . sold was the property of Mr. Isaacs. in the room appointed fur the reception of such articles, the different lots were disposed. The male prisoner was pre-' sent when they were brought into the Mart, and when the lot of diamond rings were called for it was discovered that they were missing, and it was found that the prisoner had absented himself in rather an unusual manner. A mes senger was sent to his 110(1110 to Inquire for him, bat it was said that he and his wife had gone to Islington for a walk. He, however, returned soon afterwards, when he was ac cused of having stolen the rings. He at first denied the charge, but afterwards confessed that lie had pawned the rings at Sadler's, in Bishopsgate Street. It however turned out that his wife had sold, not pawned them, and that she had received but ten shillings for them as paste rings. Their value, as diamonds, nas estimated as 20!. Mr. Isaacs, the owner of the property, said he felt it a public duty to call the attention of the Lord Slayor to the conduct of the pawnbroker on this occasion, witia was one that interested the public considerably. When be (Mr. lasses) went to the pawnbroker's shop, Me. Sadler, be was told, was not at home; and the sbopman was very uncommu nicative on the subject of the rings. When witness asked whether three diamonds rings had not been pawned there a short time before, the shopman, instead of saying, as he was eapableof saying, that they had been sold to him at his shop, asked in what name; and on being informed that witness did not know, asked for the duplicate. He then went into the house to his sassier, who came forward and assured the witness that his shopruan hid innocently.taken the three diamond rings for paste rings, and that the female prisoner had offered them as paste, anti asked ttheed shil lings for them, but received no more titan ten. Mr. Sadler, at the same time, said Le should have been very angry with his shoptuart if be had taken paste rings instead of diamonds What rendered the mistalte t pf the sliopman the more extra ordinary, was, that be looked at the tinge through a micro scope, and, it was to be presumed, mold by such means have easily decidedasy ;doubt be might have felt as to the equality of the material. He also said to the Woman, I f yea could make these diamonds, now, io-tead of paste, I weld give you two guineas, er two guineas and a half for each of them.' Mr. Sadler's shopmas staled that the woman brought the rings to him to sell these es paste. The town was stocked with ertieles made tip to resemble diamonds, end which had deceived** best judges. He bad no idea that the rings which had bees presented to him were other than paste. Mrs. Shearman agreed to take ten shillings for them, provided the party for whom she acid she sold them was satisfied at such a Irice, but they were to be returned if the price was considered nadequate. The LARD MAYOR—Do you not know the difference between a diamond dog and a paste ring? The Shopman--.1 a u aot stall a good judge ; but if they had been offered to see as diamond riags I should certainly have taken the woos° up. The Loup MAYOR—But you examined them through a mi croscope! The tilhopman-1 certainly looked at them through a small glass. • The LORD MAYOR- , -For what purpose? The Shopman—To examine them more closely, no doubt. The Loan MATot—And sti►l you could not discover they were diamonds? The Shuman said be certainly had no idea that they were anything but paste. He added, that the trade had been greatly imposed upon by fabrications. When Mr. Sadie'. came home, the things underwent another examination. and be was in doubt whether they were passé or not ; bat it was determined if they proved to be dlamopthi that the women who sold them should be looked after, mud something satisfactory done. Mr. Williams said they had had several hundred pounds worth of goods stolen from the Mart, and be was determined to prosecute. Thepese was remanded tor Mr. Sadler to attend. HATToN OARDZN.--Mesers. Arding and Co. builders, Fleet Street, applied foe a search-warrant under the follow- log circumstances : A dashing apprentice of their's, they had recently dis covered bad been robbing them, as ' tbey had reason to be lieve, to a considerable extent, he having sported Iris one horse chaise every Sunday, without receiving funds, as they now found, from his friends any way adequate to such extravagance. In consequence, they bad him taken into custody, and he was now confined in Oiltspnr Street Compter. Since he had been there he had written a let ter, and given it to the gaoler to pnt into the post-office. The gaoler, however t sent it to his master, and from its Contents they learnt, that a quantity of glass, their pro perty, had been sold to a person residing in Cottage court, Little Gray's Inn Lane, to search whose premises the present warrant was applied fur. The Magistrate granted the warrant, which was put into the hands of Read, jun. wlio shortly after returned, accompanied by Elliot, the man who bought the glass. Read stated he could not find the glass, but had found the box in which it had been contained, and which be had brought sway with him. Elliot stated that he bought the glass on a Sunday morning, of a very respectable looking young man, whe brought it to this house, but whom he did not knew, and whom, from his respectable appearance, he could not sus- pect. The Magistrate severely censured both the time and the mode in which he bad transacted this business, and which he did not doubt he would be told of at Guildhall, where he must appear, as it was in the City that the offence had been committed. He was accordingly bound over in his own recognisances to appear at Guildhall to-day. MARY•LA-lIONNIC Oreice.—Yesterday, four piing men, named Thos. Brown, Jas. Lowe, Iroi. irdliadas, and John Skelton, were brought before Mr. GRIEVITIIS, the Sitting Magistrate, charged Roder the following circum - - stances : Monday night, soon after eleven o'clock, the neighbour hood of Grove Road, Lisson Green, was thrown into great alarm by female shrieks and cries of murder issuing from a house. occupied until lately by the widow of the Rev. Mr. Wells, but since it bas been unoccupied. was left in the care of two young females. The cries of distress, and the sounds of a violent contest within, attracted a crowd of persons, who, with the watchmen, burst open the doors, and found in one room one of the females in a fainting fit, and the other in a state of very great alarm; in the adjoin• ing room, were three of the defendants engaged in a despe rate battle, the fourth having just been laid on the ground by a tremendous blow on the face. The combatants were secured and conducted to the watch-house; every endea vour was made to trace out whether the four persons en tered thelionse forcibly, but it could not be ascertained from the females, until Mr. Body, the proprietor of the house, arrived, and he discovered that the female servant, whom he had allowed to occupy the house, and who was in the service of Mrs. .Wells, had introduced the other fe male, and latterly the two had made the house a place of assignation. They had made an appointment with the four defendants to meet at the same hour, not imagining they would have been punctual to the appointment and to time; Brown and Lowe came, and were not long before they were admitted; the other two defendants, en making their appearance, half an hour later, found, from some indica tioos, that they were not wanted ; and being irritated, they determined upon gaining admittance. They succeeded in getting over the garden wall, and making their way across some outhouses, they gained admittance to the house, and burst upon.the happy hour of the more early lovers ; who, in terms more energetic than eloquent, resented the gross intrusion, but were retorted upon by the intruders, who pleaded their previous engagements; this was not consi dered sufficient, and the iutruders were about ejecting the firit lovers when the house was burst into; this was the weight of the testimony,as affecting the whole party, whose appearance denoted great annoyance to wearing apparel from persoral encounter. The defendants admitted the correctness of this state ment, and apologised for their conduct. Tfie Magistrate advised the young men to be more cautious in future, end said the conduct of the females was very censurable. They were not fit to have the care of a house. The defendants were discharged on paying the fees. --- MARLIIOROURIPSTREET.--AR application was yesterday made to Mr. Drum and Mr. Roe, the sitting magistrates at thit office, for a warrant against a person of the name of Walsh, upon a charge of felony, unler the following cir cumstances : Mr. TURNER, the solicitor, stated, that be made this ap plication on the part of a lady of the name of Tolson, who war present, and the facts of the case were these :--Some short time ago, this person named Walsh waited upon a Mr. Campbell, who resides in Holborn, with whom he had some acquaintance, and requested him to get two bills of exchange for VOL each, which he showed him, converted Into cash. The bills were drawn by a person named Lep, whose property he said they were, and that he (Walsh) was to have a certain cotnmission for getting them dis counted, and they were accepted by the Rev. Mr. Vatting, a clergyman residing in Yorkshire. Mr. Campbell, anxious to serve• Walsh, who represented the bills as of the best kind, the drawer, Mr. Lee, being no leas a personage than the heir and claimant to the title of Lord Lee, applied to Mrs. Tolson, who agreed to advance a part of the amount, and to pay the balance as soon as the bills should be honoured. She accordingly alvanced 2001., and the two hills of 3001. each at four month, were deposited in her hands. A few days, however, previous to their becoming due, Walsh called upon Campbell, and stated to bins that bis,friend Lee was displeased at his parting with the hills without any further security for the b glance, and urged him to procure from 41re. Tolson her acceptance fur 2001. more, payable after the other bills became due, merely to held as a security, for the satisfaction Of Lee, and to pacify hint for the present. Mt. Lmaphelt did not hesitate, from his cos. fidroce In Walsh, to do thid, mid Campbell himself became ' the drawer on Mrs. Tolson, for two bills of 1001. each, which that lady accepted; and were placed in the hands of Warsh, with an express understanding, and. positite promise on the part of Walsh. that no use what should be made of them, and that they should he returned to Mr. Campbell. The 3001. bills in the hands of Mrs. 'Users soon became due. and were te. gularly dishononted, and it has since been ascertained that they are 'ot worth one farthing. But this is not all: it bus been further ascertained that Walsh has negotiated the two acceptatees of Mrs. Tolson, had converted the proceeds td his own use ; so that Mrs. Tolscn has not only lost her 2001. in cash, but is sow liable for these bills. Mr. Turner Gibe mined that this oonstituted a felony on the part of Walk, be haring applied Mrs. Tolson's property to his own nse,a-- The Magistrates, however, were of opt niu ri that Mrs Tohon had in her possession, when she gave these bills, what she considered good security given by Walsh, the act could apt be considered as one of relent , . however much it was a %wrath of faith and confislencewitb ° Mr. Campbell, and upon these grounds the . warrant was refuses!. Mr. Turner next urgrit that at all events this transaction came under the 32.1 of Geo. II I.—an Act to prevent embezzlement of property trusted to agents, &e. and that in this case Walsh was fer agent acting on the part of Lee. Mr. Roe said, that before this Act could be broneht is bear upon the present case. it shoula he shows that Waal,. was as agent either of Mr. Campbell or of Mrs. Token. from whom he got the bills; but as the egret of Lee, the present parties were not entitled to make the applicatios against him. Mr. Campbell, who was present. said that Walsh was certainly no agent of his, but he had intrusted him trills the bills on the positive conditions that they were not is be negotiated. The warrant was also therefore refaced co these grounds. - Mrs. Tolson said, that her case was a most creel o ne. " She bad been completely swindled out of 4001: ; and °neer her acceptances became due yesterday, and she really knew not bow to act. Mr. Roe said he was extremely sorry, and if he had asp power to assist her, be would willingly de so. Mr. TeRNILR said, that both the accept inces of Ales. Tolson are in the hands of a person in the Steam Packer- ' office, and he refuses to give any account of how he cams by them.

In the course of the sante afternoons a butcher named Thompson informed witness that a voting man had left a desk at his house under rather suspicions circumstances. The witness went to the house and °peruse the desk with a key attached to a bunch which he bad pie. viously taken from Cockerel!. In the desk he found snare plate and two pocket books, comaieing duplicates for viri ous-artieles of jewellery of considerable value.

Mr, Hensley stated, that to the best of his belief the copy of the Dictionary was his property, and bad been stolen from his premises. Ciapperton, warehouseman: to Mr. Bensley, said, that about fourteen months since several copies of the above work were printed by Mr. Bentley, and on that occasion he (witness) deposited two remaining copies in a particular place on the premises; on examining that place yesteolse he found one of the copies had been taken away, and he had no doubt the copy now produced was the same that had disappeared.
