I ROBBERY OP 'ME TAUNTON Coatis.—Yesterday . 1 ' Jf ildiarn f:yse, charged with the above robbery, to the extent of 25001. on the night of the 2d of Au gust, 1810, was brought up for a third examination. The book-l; , eper of the inn in Friday-street, Cheap-, side, proved that a man, calling himself Jones, and acquaintance of his, whom he asked for, named Browne, had taken their places for Taunton, but he I.could not be positive that the Prisoner was the man called Jones, as is suspected, he being busy at j the time booking the names. The coachman who. drove could not identify the Prisoner. Thomas I Dunn of ' Birmingham, a hotse-dealer, who took I i some .of the notes stolen, sshh others, from a man he !before deposed on belief to be the Prisoner, now al. itered his opinion, and refused to identify him. Th? evidence .of this witness led to an opinion of the Magistrates, that witnesses from Birmingham were necessary, and the Prisoner was a third time re- I mended. _ . • JAQUES V. TaITTON, ETC. I • Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved fOt a rule, to, hew cause why the nonsuit in this cause should not 'be set aside, and a new trial granted. The 'Mohair . was the Assignee for the creditors of an insolvent of the name of Bromley,and the action, which was tried I before his Lordship at the. Sittings after last Term at.; Westminster, was brought to recover certain pro T ' perty belonging to the Bankrupt, which had been I fraudulently withheld. from his assignee. At the frial i no defence wis set up to the action itself; but It was I contended, that: under thelOth section of the Act , of ' Parliament 3 the 'action could .not be maintained, I , without proof of the consent thereto, of the major 1 part of the creditors in value,. at a meeting called for 1 ' the purpose, on a previous notice of at least ten days in The London Gazette. The Attorney-General on j i that occasion conteuded, that though it might he (A- ' mina) in an assignee to commence lin action without 1 1 hiving previously received such consent, still that tthe right to maintain the -action depended on the fact, whether the property sought to be _recovered. did, or did not Wens 'to the Bankrupt. In bring- Ing his action, witlfout latch previous consent, he did so It his peril, and if he - filled, the costa might be Castnn himself individually ' • but still, be contended, this could not affect the righ t to maintain the action. In - point of fact, there was in this case a previous consent on the part of the majority of the creditors in value, but he (the Attorney-General) was unable to prove it. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, he thought at the time, thtit the burden of proving the consent in the terms specified in the Act,. lay on the Plaintiff; and for want of that proof he nousuited him. . • The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, if no action could be maintained without proof of the consent of the major part of the creditors in value,, then must it be necessary, as a preliminary, in every such action, to give ;in evidence all the facts connected with the bankruptcy, and the amount of all the debts proved ' under it. This would be a case of great hardship. Lord ELLENBOROVOII said, still they were bound to give suchn construction to the words of the Act, as they would reasonably and fairly admit of. They were not to help out a law, because it might chance to have its death-wound in itself. Being creatures or the Act of Parliament, they could only exercise such -powers as the law had given them. Still, his Lord• ship thought, tilts was a case of great hardship, and well lit to, be considered.—Rule to shew cause granted. OLD BAlLEY.—Yesterday 38 prisoners were tried, when William Price was capitally convicted of steal ing a feather-bed, value 31. the property of Robert heap, in' his dwelling-house; and 27 , were convicted .of felony. The following shocking account is extracted from The Chester Courant:— " On Sunday morning the village of Henkelow, near Nantwich, was alarmed by a report that George Murray, farmer in that village, had been murdered during the preceding night, having been found with his brains dashed out, and his throat cut from ear to ear! It was supposed that the diabolical crime had been Perpetrated by some ruthless villains, who had ep teted his house in search of plunder, ami it would ap- Pear that his wife and every part of the Tamity affect aid the most complete ignorance of the awful traustc ,Oe the assembly of a concourse of people; which so unusual a circumstance was likely to create, anspicion fell upon one ,ef the servant men, by distinct traces of blood from the bed of the de ceased to that of his, which was in a higher part of the.house. On examining him, these suspicions were strengthened, by finding marks of blood upon his shirt. A peace officer was sent for, and the .young man taken into custody. When the constable seas taking him to a neighbouring magistrate, be said to-the constable, ''Well, I suppose I must be hang ed;' and on being pressed for a disclosure of his meaning, confessed the following particulars the murder of his master was determined upon be tween his mistress and himself; that the time, man aer, and circumstances of it were concerted by them ; that in the night time they fell upon him with an axe, -and beat him with it about the head, until they thought him dead, arid in the course of their brutali ty struck out one of his eyes. That they then left him, hut were soon apprized, that he was yet liiing; they returned to their work of blood, and again re& tired,under the persuasion that he had breathed his last. That they were still disappointed, and although the armaturel wife pressed the man to go and make a finish of his master, he said he could not resumelhe task ; and he absolutely refused, until she found an expedient to remove his scruples, by furnishing hiM with k razor, to cut hie throat ! It *as then the work was completed. He stated, that he had been urged to the horrid deed by his mistress, who wanted him to marry her. Immediatoly on Ibis confession, the constable unlocked the handcuffs with which he had locked himself to the Prisoner, fastened the lat ter by the same instruments to an assistant he had 31711111DG IC V. M.tNNERS. Mi..PARIL moved for a_ rule to shew cause why the verdict for the Plaintiff in this case should not be set *side, and a new . trial granted. The case was tiled before bis Lordship at the Sittings after last Term at Cuildhall. It was an action on a promisso ry; note, by a person of the name of Finny, by which he promised to pay George Manners, the pre- Seat Defendant, 1011. 15s. sd. three months•after dati, which was the 11th of October. The note of course became due on the 14th of January. On the* . 10th of that month, the Bill having been paid by Mr. Maude, the Army Agent, into the hands of Messrs. Masterman, the Bankers, I somebody, it did.not ap pear who, called and - took it up. 'The Defendant being the payee of the Bill, was only liable in the secomd instance. - He had a right, therefore, to con tend that the Bill being thus paid, he was discharged front' all liability under it,.and that it could not * re-issued without a new stamp. If this were to be tolerated, it might be converted into an engine against the Creditor by any friend of the Debtor's. • Lord ELLENsolcouGif said -this MRS not a re.isstopy ing, but a new purchase. If the holder. of a bill chose to give that bill to aaother, he - gave along with it every right which in respect If' that bill previously 'listed himself. A re-isenlm to die' Force,. - . . _ .at.

The King's German Legion, we hear, is to be strengthened.by an augmentation of 5000 Men, 4000 of which, it is calculated, will be recruited ltom prisons, and consists.of deserters and prisoners fr.i t y the French army in Spain.

Monday was held at the Crown and Anchor', vent, the Anniversary Diener of Cie Masonic C . rity for Clothing and Educating the Orphans of Ma sons ander the Ancient Institutions. This Socicti is, in our minds, conducted on the most exemplary plan. The charity embraces; like Masoniy itself, the children of all religious persuasions, and instead of being - kept in one house, they are boarded out in, religious families, each accordit * , to the pers u a s i on of his friends and relatives ; and each at the age of fourteen is bound to some trade. There are fifty fine youths thus educated ; and the Institution is patro nised by the liberal of all persuasions, holding ovi _an example of the utility and benefit of putting aside all religious distinctions in the Christian labour of benevolence. We.understand that ad‘ices, to the 10th of Febru.. ary, have been received in Glasgow. from Malta, which mention, that the exchange there had risen as high as 72 , which will be a great advantage to our manufactur.crs who have lately made shipments to that Island. Ag Mr. G osset, with his wife and child, were re turning from Acton, to their residence in •k Wal ham-green-road, on Sunday night, in a single horse chaise, the wheel of the vehicle caught against that of a dung-cart, and was upset and broken to pieces; Mrs. G. received two severe fractures on her head, and was not expected to survive the night over. Mr. G. hied his shoulder dislocated , but the child escaped unhurt. SNAIL-EAnnao.—They are eaten in Germany I boiled, fried in buttei, and sometimes stuffed with forced meat. The sliminess is considered as the .greatest 'delicacy, and therefore remains after dres sing. Snails close the list of maitre dishes, but they are not eaten from economy, seven of them being charged at the Traiteur's, the same as a plate of 'veal, or beef. MARY ANN DIX, the young woman whose cas^, through the interference of Lord FJI.KESTONE a•id some other Gentlemen of Bristol, lately occupied the attention of the House of Commons, was released from prison on Monday last, after a confinement of two years and four months. A duel was to have taken place yesterday at Wim bledon Common, between two gentlemen of the names of Fielder and Colston, the latter of whom is an Artillery Officer, in consequence of a dispute at a coffee-house. Information of the intended meeting was given to the Police, and whilst in tl e act of taking paces, they were apprehended, and held in sureties to keep the peace. .14 a )outig gentleman in a naval uniform, was pmeeeding, nt a brisk rate, ohout eight koala an hour per haps, in a g ig, on t e Les el, steering uorthward, his attention 1111.1 arrested by the • drilling practice of the North York recruits, on Marlborough &CPU`, th 6 6th inst.
