And it should be recollected too, that both the plaintiff and his friend were attor neys' clerks. And he should prove that the plaintiff went in again berme the Magistrate, and said it was all settled ; anti on the whale cane be would contend, that, upon the whole of the facts, the mamas were jestilled in whet they had done.

The plaintiff and the officers went out of the imotO, end on their return one of the officers then said that the mat ter was seeded; that they did not wish to press it. and they had shekaa bands; the lllayor then discharged - the complaint.

A Mr. TUNTON replied. Me. Baron Gawnow, in charging the Jury, observed, that there was no pretence for saying that the defendants were justified in watt they had done; they, instead of attending to their duties, ard.peeserviog the peace of the town, were sociably amusing them. ae.taws with some glasses and a gin bottle; and while they were so engaged the plaintiff came in to speak to a person who was there, ael though they might have had a good right, if they were so mit:del, to have turned him out, yet instead of that he was taken to the watchhouse, and had the choice of sleepin- on the bare boards, or of enjoying the repose of a wat c hhouse bed in common waft the other living creatures which were in it. lie preferred, as it sacred, the former, and it could hardly be said that he was wrong. la this place the plaintiff remained for two nights and a day; and he did hope, that such new regulations would be introduced into the management of the police of so large a town, as would in hears prevent any person from being locked up in such a place as this forty° nights without being examined. But for all this, as it was consequent on the wrongful act of the defendants, they were answerable for it; but at the came time they ought not to visit themtoo severely, as there was some little blame attaching to the p:itintiff, far if he had rot taken a little refreshment (as his friend oad said) to rescusitate nature, in all probability this affair would cover have happened. But the plaintiff was no doubt entitled to recover a full compensatinn for the . injury he had received ; but evil it ehould be recollected, that when before the Magistrate the .piteintiff did not appear to set a great price on his swags; how_ they were bound to give the p'aintift'a verdict, with such oagieges as they thought he was fairly entitled to. Verdict for the plaintiff: Damages 101. ILENT ASSIZES, MAIDSTONE, TUESDAY, APRIL S. Bdbra at LORD CHIRP BARON and a Special Jury. TEE LINO OW THE PROSECUTION OF LORD liAEBOROUGH V. Mr. Sergeant TADDIr stated the case for the prosecution. He =id that the question which tie submitted to the Jury, was im postaist. not tidy to the . prosecutes(the Earl of Harborough), bus to the public In generaL Tabs case was that of every subject ' , MU hod any regard for their liberty. The facts were shortly teeeet--.on the 2,3 th of Augur., 11123, the Noble Lord entered ea boards vessel at Esnisgre., with the view of reaching Dover test evening. He arrived there late at right ; and as the tide had ebbed he could not enter the harhour. He landed just below it at aA4rsee called the Knowles about balf.past eleven at night.-- be had debarked he walked towards the York Hotel, but ceLaia way thither was stopped by the defendant, who was a Ite mise la die Preventive Service. This person insisted on 'catching higs ; his Lordship asked what authority he possessed tor tier. aslisi this power. The only answer made to this request was. r3lOll Lerdshin must not proceed farther. This, however, his Lerdehdp refused to do, as no authority had been produced. The Man then drew his cutlass, and in a menacing attitude said, " By Ole Holy Ghost, if you don't atop I'll cut you down." His Lord efip renionatrated egainst this flagitious conduct, and declared that If mamas carried his threat into execution, he would be guilty of ittard.q. This, however, had no riled upon him ; for on his Lorslihip's attempting to proceed to the hotel, the seaman drew fools a pistol mid threatened to blow his bribes out. Lord Hare tectopsh thought it proper for his safety to apply for the assistance if the crew in the vessel which he had left, and two of them were aexmlit gly oellal. Hem while the defendant fired the pistol ; and at Ibis acted as a signal to the seamen stationed at other pans of the CoileA, the Lieutenant came to the spot. The defendant afterwards w: pew, and his Lordship proceeded to the York Hotel. The Learned Sergeant submitted that the proceeding ote the part of .'imiew wan (pike illegal.

On the morning of the 24th of August witness's men had a contest with several smugglers, shout 30Q or 400 yards from the Knot. lea. The Loan Cuter BARON, in summing up, mid, he was not apprised of the Act on which the right of searching every person, ' whether male or female, who came over from the Continent, was founded, to ascertain whether contraband goods had been concealed on :heir persons. He left it to the Jury to decide whether the facts of the case justified the conduct of the defendant. • The Jury dtltberatel for a few min...es in the box, when one of their number addressed the Court—" We are cf opinion (said he), that Lord Ilarberough was not engaged in smuggling, but that he landed under suth circumstances as justidef.e suspicion of his being engaged in smuggling." A des u ltory conversation ensued between the Bar and the Bench, as to the shape in which the point of law, involved in the case, could be proposed to the Court of King's B:neh; when hie Lord ship, turning to the Jury, said—" Gentlemen, I think Mei best mune of mending—that which will do justice between the parties_ie, that you should bring in a verdict of guilty, with liberty to them to turn it into a special verdict: and that you should declare in terms of the justification which you have already declared." Some of the Jury having expressed their doubts of this course of proceeding, they withdrew; and after an absence of • few mites, acceded to the verdict proposed by the Court, with a slight variation in the phramology of it. The important point of law still remains to be decided in the Court of king's Bench. THE RING V. PHILIP GRAHAN, ESQ. This was an indictment against the defendant, a Lieutenant of his Alakety's by ship Ramilies, for provoking Lord Harborough to fight a duel, leaning hie card, and demanding satisfaction. The second count charged the defendant with saying, " I have I challenged the d—d coward a second time, but he bas refused to meet me, laying the intent ea in the first count. The same Cannel were retained in ttis as in the last case. This was pert of the same transaction. Mr. Sergeant Taunt . stated the case. The prosecutor having sent to the defendant to know the name of the defendant in the last cue, the answer sent was, that Lord Ilarborough must come to the defendant. On his way he. was informed that the defendant was searching his vessel. He went to the vessel and found that the fact was se, but nothing was found that could justify suspicion. Lord Harborough asked by what authority his vessel was searched. The defendant refused to show it at first, bet at last produced his deputation. Lord Harbotough having expressed some doubt of its authenticity the defendant produced his card, with what intent it was for the Jury to determine. On the part of the prosecution it was alleged that the intent was to give a challenge. The de fendant said he waswillinp t to give Lord liarborough the satis faction of a gentleman. 'I he defendant's own account of the trans. action afterwards was, " I chalisnged that d—d coward to fight, but he has refused." From the evidence which would be adduced, there could be no doubt that the defendant intended to provoke the Noble Lord to fight him. Evidence was called to prove the facts as stated. Air. Sergeant Onstow addressed the Jury in defence. The Lonn CHIEF BARON summed up the evidence, and the Jury found the defendant Guilty. ROBBERIES BY SERVANTS. The recent fate of the unfortunate young men, Ferguson and Walker, in connexion with the fecal disclosed on the trial of the former, and the confession made by the latter, has naturally called the attention of the public to the subject of the frequent instru mentality.of servants to the perpetration of burglaries. Within the last six months many trials have taken place, which might, if necessary, be adduced in confirmation of this alarming truth. The following confession, however, not only as bearing upon this sub ject, but also in other points of view, will no doubt prove interest ing to our readers. The letter in which it Is contained, and which we subjoin, was written by .Nhn Turner Ingrain, on the 20th of December last, being two days before his execution on Bennett(len Heath, 11laidstone, for burglary. This unhappy man, at an earlier period of his life, had lived in several families in the capacity of footman, and for the most part bore an unimpeachable character. The last family in which he lived was that of Mr. 41—, from whose service he was dismissed without • character. It will be seen by his letter that it is to this last circumstance that he impute* his errors : be it so or not, there is no doubt but that soon after wards lie connected himself with a gang of burglars, and was con. (tined in numerous robberies, many of them perpetrated by means of the information he had obtained during the time he was living in sertiee. In the summer of 11124. together with three other noted characters, he was committed to Chelmsford Gaol, on a charge of burglary ; but the evidence being insufficient to secure a convic tion, it was thought expedient to admit one of the prisoners as an evidence against thereat. Ingram was selected for this purpose, arLl on the trial gave such a history of the transaction as ensured :he conviction, and finally led to the execution of his acconspliees. it./n his cross.examination he displayed the utmost effitmtery, and un blushingly admitted himself to have been concerned in 14 other burglaries, and that many of them were marked by features of an aggravated kind. Soon after his discharge from this gaol, he was concerned in a burglary at the country seat of Mr. ll—, of Russell-rquare, si tuate at Barnwell, in Northamptonshire. !laving formerly lived as footman with this gentleman, he was well acquainted with the premises, tlll,l thus, with comparative ease, himself and associates were enabled to secure to themselves a booty of plate and other pro perty of the value of 5001. and upwards. The burglary was no sooner discovered than suspicion attached to him, and as a reward of lOW. was offered for the apprehension of the burglars, he deemed it prudent to quit his usual haunts, and retire to Sheerness, where he committed the burglaryfor which lie was capitally convicted and executed. A few days before his execution, the son of the gentleman whose house at Barnwell lie robbed, caused inquiries to be mode of him at the gaol, in the hope of obtaining information as to the disposhi . tion of a quantity of try kets of little intrinsic value, but which, It still entire, they would gladly have purchased at almost any price. , Theme inquiries were answered by the foilowirg letter, the levity o f which, when it is recollected that it was written only two days be fore his execution, will excite astonishnient. As many of the slang phrases would be unintelligible to a great part of our readers. we have supplied a glossary. The following is the letter alluded to, and is givens crbutins a lileratinr : " Maidstone Gaol, Dee. 2), 1824. " Sir—lt appears to me that you are desirous of knowing who robbed your father's house in Northamptonshire ; you, being a hitlou Kolar, 1 make no doubt but I can give you the wished.foe information :--After arriving at Barnwell, we proceeded to the crib (house), and mod an incision in the drawing-roomiiimp (win dow), facing the lawn, and little Davy, with myself, bung two good ferrits, proceeded through this room, and through the grand hall-dor. leading to the buck slums, or SlanTs apartments (ser vants' rooms). I unscrewed the pantry door with my own turn_ screw, and little Davy is no dirt, stood at the bottom of the Jacob (stair -case), with the parlour poker in his hand, in case any one should come to lend us a hand to pay them for their trouble. In the meantime, I collected as much seedr (plate), aa we could well take away, snit hocirg done this, mad our retreat the same way as WO came. Dacy wont away a pair of crabs shells (shoes) that stood by the clock, and then we proceeded to the lane, by the fish-pond : here we packed our lob (booty), and dinged (threw) several things into the pond, and started afresh through Shropstone. One and a half mile arum this, We plautcd (buried the propertj), nu great way of the spot where you found Monsieur Dodson a log (coat). (They found a coat in a wood). Near this spot your gardner might raise a good crop with a little trouble. (They dug at this spot, but found nothing.) From hence we proceeded to Iligham. where we took a cup of slop (tea) each, and paid a halls buil (two shillings and sixpence), cr so ; and went on towards the skit (road), by way of Olney, and Newport Pagnell, a mile front the latter town is the canal ; here we shipped ourselves on board an iron barge, and put the two ours (ores) together—l mean iron and silver. It was a fine srtagig. We arrived in the City Basin arseven o'clock at night, after a two days' voyage, in safety. We mad the Captain of the book (boat) all right, and sent one of the men for a c/ieee (coach), and had s drop of blue rain at the back of the wharf; and then we mad fresh sail for Whitfield-street.linsbury square, No. —. At this house Mr. Fanz Mac Gazinin lives, who no doubt was glad to see us. We dozed here this night, and early next morning Mr. Flifrn Flojrn took the .recdg to the iron. ,far; man (the receiver), and gave each of us our morsel, and told us to be Carettll, for the pig-men (oiliest%) were up in arms, one of which hail olered Pitillips ten flint (sovereign.) to say ahem ha could pick us up. So Davy started down to %'cliing, Beams, and I to Chatham. Sent; and Bob, who is free of the city. remained behind with Sally Solomors, who is one of the tribe of Benjamin. I beg to inform you that I have drawn a bill on Mr. Abrahams (the person at whose house he committed the burglary for which he was executed), of Sheerness, and 31n Justice Barrough has mad it payable at sight on Pennendeo Heath, Dee. 30th. 1824. It will be quite impossible for me to remit you any moaey for the sioresaid goods before this bill is due. I am yours, respectfully, "JOHN Istoaara." " P.S. Mr. Bishop of Bow-street office, is c ery high learnt, and if you don't understand this, he will explain. He takes a fee for his opinion, like all others connected with the law. lie would rather have had your 1001. for my carkese (carcase) than that I should have been made a box of coed meat at 3laidatone. It ens a sad loss to him and his party. Nu doubt they are quite chop. fallen. This ought to be a caution to the public how they de prived .servant of his character, for once driven to thieving the old master is the first that will suffer. I have robbed nearly all I ever lived with, and many others, and had I lived longer, I should have robbed many more, no doubt. In fact, I felt a pleasure in so doing. This is true, as I am go:ng to die. _ _ - " JOHN INGRAM." As the demeanour of this man was in perfect keeping up to the last moment of his existence, it may not be uninteresting to our readers, if a e subjoin a short account. On the way to the fatal spot, he conversed and smoked his pipe with u much gaiety and apparent flow of spirits, as if he were going to a fair, and even lacer the rope had been fixed round his neck, on hearing one of his fellow-sufferers express a desire to have his clothes sent to his wife liner he was dead, he turned round to him, and asked hint if lie would wish her to wear the breeches. A Moment after wards he was launched into eternity. Tbus lived and thus died this unhappy man.

It was not over at fire o'clock this evening. The trial is expected to last two days. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Aran 6. hfattheve Lcwlher, William Tamer, and John Stalbrd, were in dicted for conspiracy, and for assaulting Timothy Richardson. Mr. AN DR EWS opened the case as one of the utmost public im portance. The prosecutor and the defendants were all journeym• n cabinet-makers, who worked for Messrs. Barnes and Co. of St. Paul's Church-yard. The three defendants belonged to the society of cabinet-makers. The prosecutor did not, and was by them de signated "a black." There had been a turn-out of the men at Messrs. Baynes and Co.'s. The prosecutor was by them employed. and. with another only, remained St his work. Lowther, one of the defendants, invited the prosecutor to come to him on the day named ; he went to a public-house, where he was ill. tr eated by him and the other defendants. _ The prosecutor stated the fact of his being employed by Messrs. Barnes, and his being invited to a public-house neer Oxford -street, where he was placed on a particular seat in the parlour. Melt there, a quantity of yellow ochre and other filth was repcstediy thrown upon hint fnint an aperture in the wainscoting, ; front 15 to 20 men then rushed into the room, among whom rare the defend ants Turner and Stafford. They seized him by the coat, tore it, pushed him on the lire. filled his hat w ith rubbish, and put it also on the fire, threw him down on the fluor, and otherwise violently ill-treated and abused him. and ultimately pushed him into the cellar. He know of no other reason for their abuse than his not being a society man. Messrs. Baynes and Co. would not employ any society men. The transaction happened about half-past une o'clock in the day. Lowther paid him ss. in part of 7s. 6d. that he owed lairs. _ - Mr. ALLEY crow-examlned witness.—He did not pull off his coat to fight ; be pulled it off to shake the dirt ofF. Lowther re ceived some of the dirt in the pailour as well as himself. He was positive that the !Iva shillings wail paid in part of the debt he owed him. William Riley was pot-boy at the Bell and Drummer, Wells street; saw prosecutor in the yard after he had been ill used. He was all over filth and stuff. His trowsers were tom. Did not ace any of the men. Koew the three men at the bar. Recollects seeinir Lowther there. The parlour was full of men. Did not know how many went out; he was in the tap-room. Went to the cellar; saw the man there. He heard him call out—" Oh ! the dog hal hold of me !" Part of the prosecutor's 'masers were in the dog's mouth. \Witham lHann.vra proved that Mews. Baynes and Co. employed men that did belong to the society and those who did not. A clerk or Mr. Harmer, the solicitor, proved that Messrs. Baynes and Co. employed him to conduct the prosecution. Mr. ALLEY (with whom was Mr. BARRY), for the defendants, cotoplaired that Mr. Andrews had over-stated the case in his open ing, and that he should be able to show that it was nothing more than a common assault, and that, according to his instructions, the prosecutor was " a liar;" that Lowther bad invited him, in a friendly way, to go to Messrs. Stothard's to look at a musi cal in strument of peculiar excellence ; that they afterwards west to a public-house to drink ; and that what happened wet, purely acci dental. lie wredd call a nuniher of persons to show that there was no on the part of the defendants, but that it arose from ill will on the per: of the prosecutor. James Roy, a piannforte.csse maker at Messrs. Stothard's, saw Lowther and prosecutor there, drinking gin and water in the tap room ; did not, upon his oath, know what a " black" was. After he had been to dinner, he returned to the public house, and only saw prosecutor and L owt h er t h ere. . . . B , the CHAIRMAN—Iie was fifty-one years of age ; had been in the business seven years ; was before in the army ; was certain he did not know what " a black " was ; he had belonged to a society. but that was only fur the insurance of tools; did not know where the society was registered. James Love, another workman at Messrs. Stothard's—Knew that a " black" meant a man who worked under price ; who did not belong to a society ; had been in the trade three years. John Saunders, a tailor, saw the prosecutor at the public-house; he " took him to be intoxicated ; " heard an altercation between him and some men ; they were q uarrelling about their trade; pro secutor said he would " work, fig ht, or play" with any of them. Lowther said, "Do not quarre l with those men." They then went to another part of the room, and both shortly after complained that they had ' colour" thrown upon them; prosecutor then took off his coat to fight, and Lowther then said he would take his part. Turner then aline in ; the prosecutor was very aggravating; Lowther took out a crown-piece to toss fur a pint of rye; the pro secutor took it and pat it into his pocket, and said he would charge any one with a robbery who attempted to take it from him. Prb accutar wanted to hove, but Turner said be should not go till he had returned the five shilling piece. He saw the prosecutor strike Lowther, which was the only blow he saw. In his cross-examination he admitted that it was after the 'pro secutor had the ochre thrown over him that he said he would work, tight, or pity with any of them," and that he heard some one cry out from the cellar. lie went to the public-house yeller. tiny, both before and after he was in the Court.

It was quite clear the tole cause of what had Like!' u!ace wan that which the prosecutor had stated, air- that he was not a Rucietv-man, or, in other words, that he was what they termed " a black."

Nathan Levy, who was yestettlay coovieted of receiving stolen goods, FRS brought to the bar for judgment. The COURT was about to pass sentence. when the Prim"r prayed for time to state some facts in mitigation. ASSAULT. Tli.:le, a parish constable, was charged with assaulting Anne Partridge, on the Mh day of February last. The piosecutrx deposed to the defendant's having, on the day laid in the indictment, come to her house, accompanied by three other persons one of whom had on his back a coffin, in which they Indeed on placing the dead body of her father, then lying in a room up stairs ; she told them she had already, provided a coffin for that purpose, and muse object to their interfering in the slightest degree with the corpse of her father ; that her father had left her sole lsgatee, and that she only had the right of arranging all mat ters connected with - his interment; the defendant, and his party, notwithstanding this her remonstrance, still persisted in forcing their way up stain; and when she attempted to oppose their pa,. greiut, the defendant struck her a violent blow oa the breast—burst open the door of the room in which her deceased father was laid out, and there (to use the witr.css'sphrase) he and his companions fee a veer considerable time, reigned with the most arbitrary power. ,a laugh.) The witness further said, that she still felt the ill-effects of the blow she had received, and that she could product bath physicians and doctors to prove the truth of her as sertion. 7'he CHM n xax inquired if there ♦m a medical gentleman then in attendance. The prosecutrix replied that she bad no doctor then in Court, though it was most true that no less ibex three physicians were taking care of her remit. (A laugh.) Three other witnesses were called for the prosecution, none of whom saw a blow given ; two, however, deposed to their having beard the prosecutrix scream violently. The defendant der ied his having used the least violence towards the prosecutrix. On the day in question her brother Lolled on him, as constable, to go to the house of the deceased, for the purpose of Ppreserving peace. The brother said that he was desirous of having is father interred ; t'at he wished.to take a coffin for that purpose, but dreaded the violent temper of his sister too much to go near the Muse unless ur.der the protection of a constable. The defer.dant further stated, that the only act of his that could be construed into an assault, was his simply placing his hand across the room door, to prevent her coining in till the corpse had been placed in the cof fin, and that in everything done by him he had acted according to the directions of the son of the deceased; that the persons who ae esonpanied him were, the son, the undertaker who was to conduct the interment. and the person who covied the coffin. In conclu sion, he assured the Court the prwecutrix had sworn falsely, and that she was that sort of woman " who would swear the print out of every leaf in a prayer-book." (A laugh.) Two witnesses were call;!, who carroborated the material parts of the defendant's statement. _ After a few observations from the CHAIR MAN, the defendant was Acquitted. BODY STEALING. - . ..... John May and JAn .7crron stood indicted for hiving, on the night of to Ilth of February last, illegally entered a church-yard in the neighbourly:od of Hae:moy-road ' in which church-yard a male human body had on the previous day hem interred. l'herc was a second count in the indictment, chargm- the defendants with having, on the same night, illegally dug up the said body, with the intent illegally to carry it off. The prosecution woi institutml by the parish, but not conducted by Counsel. The officiating sexton of Shoreditch was called to prove hls hay ing seen, in the parish diary, an account of the interment of the deceased. Mr. ALLEN-, For the defendants, objected to the reception of such evidence. The book itself, containing the entry, should have been produced. The ellAlll MAW assented. Wm. Morton was next sworn—Witness was on duty at the parish watchhouse on the night laid in Cm indictment. Whilst at the watehhouse he received information that two men were digging up a eddy in the church-yard. Ile went immediately to the sp n, and saw two persons walking in the church-yard. Witness placed watchmen at the gate and other avenues, so as to render escape iniptpoilole. Witness then desired one of the watchmen to take ME his coat, and get over the gate into the church-yard. The watchman did RO ; sod in a few minutes witness heard a cry of " !fere they are!" The defendants at the bar were shortly after brought out. ‘ritne...l had them taken to the watchhouse, and subsequently examined the church-yard, in which he found spades and other instruments used in taking up bodies. On examining farther he descried, is a corner of it, a male body, tied up in a sack. The body was subsequently placed by him in a shell. In answer to a piestion from the Bench, witness said, that all the graves in the church-yard wete closed up ; lie did not obierre bawl': one open. • The witness's testimony was corroberrated by that of another officer, who had been on ditty on the night In question. Edward llocksley. the watchman who arrested the defendants, also corroborated the evidence of Morton. . . In answer to questions from the CHAIRMAN, he stated, that he saw no other perbons in the church-yard but the defendants. Ile had newer seen the defendants before the night of their arrest by him. Has not been able to ascertain to whom the sack or spade belonged. Thos. Adams, the gravedigger, remembers having farmed a person on the day preceding the one laid in the indictment. Exa mined the grave once subsequently, and found it had been opened and the body taken out. Witness, on his cross-examlnation by Mr. ALLEY, said he did not know whether the body intereerl was male or female ; he barely knew that a body was interred, but whether male or female, young or old, he knew r.ot. Mr. ALLEY, for the defendants, insisted that the Indictment must fall to the ground : there was no proof whatever as to what was contained in the coffin which the gravedigger said he depo sited in the earth. The Offence with which the defendants were charged was one which many persons looked on as very heinous; for his own part, he took a different view of it. He was Inclined to look at it somewhat philosophically, and thought that the interest of the living deserved mare attention than did any delicacy towards the dead. lie did not, however, mean to rest the defence of his clients on that view of the case. The probable fact was, that they had not dug up the body in question ; they had surprised others in the act of doing so. These ps.ntons turned the tables on his clients, and actually gave the information to the officers, which led to the arrest of the defendants. After a few obserystions from the CHAIRMAN, the prisoners were Acymiticd. ASSAULT. R. Foams was charged with assaulting Catherine Foley. fsl r. C. PHILLIPS, for the prosecution, stated that the prosecutrix had been the servant of the defendant ; she vas a Scotch woman, who had come to Landau to look for a place, and for his part he saw no goad reason why Scotch mentor should not seek their for.' tunes as well as Scotch men. (A laugh.) The prosecutrix breught with lie: from her r.ative hills a good appetite, which, however, the defendant was determined not to indulge, as he was in the habit of chalet; her to a miserable mutton chop. (A laugh.) The Learned Gentleman, after a few further remarks, called Tne prosecutrix, who said, she did not know what the profes sion of the defendant was, except that he remained out by night, and staid at hone all day. She lived with him for three months and a foitcight, at the rate of ten guineas a-year ; besides that she lent him six shillings. When she called on him for her wages he pushed her down stairs, and threatened to call a constable to take her into custody. On her cross-examination by Mr. ALLEY, she admitted that for a month previous to the day laid ire the indictment, the defendant wa• contined to his bed with the gam. For the defence was call d a Mr. Stephens. who said he was pre sent when the alleged assault was committed ; he denied that the defendant struck the prosecutrix. (it was her: suggested that if the defendant paid the prosecutrix the wages due to her the case would not be pressed any further.] After a great deal ofaltereatiou between the parties, it was agreed to leave the merits of the case to the arbitration of Mr. Barry. A verdict of Gritty was in the mean time found against the de fendant, and sentem.e deterred until Saturday. In the course of the day there were several other eases of assault tried. They were guile uninteresting except to the parties them selves. The defenuants in almest every ease were of the fair sez.• ' The Court rose at half -pant four. LONDON SESSIONS, IVPDNESDAY, APRIL G. These Sessions commenced yesterday before the RECORDER and a bench of Aldermen. The traverses, merely three casette' assault, of little or no public interest, were shortly disposed of, but the Court was occupied for a cousiderable length of time wlth a most extraordinary appeal against an ORDER OF AFFILIATION UPON A 111ETHODIST PREACHER. John Acton Bowden, a pin-niiiet,lnliiwrd-court, Holborn, and a preacher in the Wesleyan connexion, appealed against an order of affithetion, by which he WAS adjudged the father of a trials bastard child, and that upor. the broad ground, that the insputa tion upon his cluiractp was wholly false, and without any founda tion a:integer, and a; it was evident that there necessarily mutt be perjury upon the pat; of some of the witnesses, the case excited considerable interest. 1 1 Ann Hughes, thotecother of the child, had been employed as chatwenn:ll at the Winne where the appellant then lived, in New_ street, Coreat.garden, a.td there she swore the connexion t oo k place. She had howeecr previously sworn the child at the Alansior }louse to our Charles Lore, and which she said she had been induced to do on account of the religious character of the appellant, he having, during her lying-in, sent her a half-sore reign ; and. on her subsequently cal tint; upon him, promised her that she .hnuid not want, and that he would allow her fie. a week. Her reason for selic,ing Lore to swear the child to was, that she knew he was out of the kingdom, and could rot be brought into any trouble on that account. With the exception of her having so sworn the child, with wl.ich fact the appellant was made acquainted by her, nothing wild he elicited by Mr. Andrews's ingenious cross-examination, to impeach her character, or to cast any imputa tion upon bee chmthy, except in this instance, and her testimony was very strongly confirmed by the evidence of Mary Luke, the wife of a fatalists sit a gas-factory, who swore that she called upon Air. Bowden by this desire of Ann Hughes, shortly after she was confined, and communicated to him the birth of the child, and that so far from denying that he was the father it, Ids only anxiety was that it should be kept secret, not so much on account of his wife and family as on account of his religious tonne:ion ; that he sent by her half a sovereign for Ann, and desired her to tell her when she wanted more to let him know. That she Oho wit ness) sew him stein eta Mrs Bones three days before the child was sworn to him at the Mansion House, when he told her I that he would swear by (Sod that the whole was a lie ; and on her asking him would he swear that he did not send a half sovereign by her, he replied " Yes," he would swear that was a lie too. Mrs. Burn also swore to having been present when this conversation passed between Stn. Luke at.d 31r. [Bowden. Both these women had known Ann Hughes for some years, and never heard anything against her character Mr chastity ; indeed her countenance, which was remarkably ordinary, seemed to affird a pretty safe protection from solicitations of that sort, and not the slightest auenipt was made to impeach the character or credit of the two women, Luke and Burn. On the part of the appellant, several witnesses were called, the most important of which was his own brother, Charles Bowden, and an errand boy named John Smith. The testimony given by these latter witnesses differed from that given by them before the Lord Mayor, when the order of filiation was made. The Court, which consisted of hive Aldermen beside the Recorder, did not think it necessary to hear Mr. Law, but unanimously affirmed the order. Mr. Law's application on the part of the respondents (the parish of Christ (:hunt, Ncrgate-street) for costs was seceded to imme diately. Order on the appellant for the payment of 3s. a week affirmed, with costs. I'Ol,lOE. (lUILU[IALL.

A Lro or 11 tr.!. roa.—Yeaterday Jo.'in I'lceer was charged with haring stolen a leg of mutton, the property of John Young. Front the evidence it appeared that Mrs. Young had ordered a leg of mutton to be sent to her littsband's house in Great Ormond-street. on Saturday last. from Mr. Col!ingwoad, a butcher, in Lamb's Conduit-street. Ir. Collirgauod'a set'. rant went to deliver it along with a quantity of other things that t.e had to deliver at different places ; in going along he was accosted by the prisoner, dewed as a butcher, who in (plied 0:: lieu if he knew of a place, the prisoner managed to kce,l in conr:rsattion a ith Mr. Col.ingwood't• man until after he had Lich ver , :d the leg of mutton at Mr. Voting', bonne. The pri soner haring seen the leg id mutton delivered, shortly left the company of Mr. Collingwoorl's man, returned to Mr. Young's house, and said that there was a mistake in leaving the leg of mutton there, and that he had called to fetch it hack ; the servant give it to him srhhout the least hesitation; the theft Whi of course shortly discovered, and yesterday morning Mr. Collingwond's ser vant saw the prisoner stationed in Redford-place, watcideg another butcher, no doubt with the intent of pla3 lug a similar trick, when he took him into custody. The worhy Magistrate observed, that the past the late Mr. Sheridan adored was a sure preventive of such an rffence as this, because shun a hatcher sent a leg of mutton, Mr. Siteridan's cook immedie sly put it into the pot, for fear the buf•her should send for it buck, pretty wall knowing it would not be paid for. The prisoner admitted the charge, aed wan fully committed for rilentinc and George Preddic were brought up on sus picion of haying stolen a silk handkerchief.

DISTURBANCE •T THE SWAN TAVERN, Yesterday, Nithelas Win-sky, a man assuming the character of a Bow-street officer, was brought up in the custody of two Cow. street patrols, charged before Mr. WRITE, the Magistrate, with committing a most wanton and unproveked assault upon a gentle man named Davy, at the Swan Tavern, on Tuesday night, by striking him on the head with a constable's staff. The complainant, Mr. 3. 31. Davy, residing in the King's-road, Chelsea, stated, that he was returning home between eleven and twelve o'clock from Battersea, passing the Swan Tavern, observing a light, the door open, and the company departing, he went in, fur the purpose of meeting some Chelsea friends to walk home with ; proceeding to the coffee-rcom door he was suddenly collared by the prisoner, who insisted he should not go in, and struck him a vio lent blow with a constable's staff on the left side of his head, which was cut open, and bled profusely. Severe! gentlemen ran from the coffee-room to his assistance, a'd a disturbance ensued ; the psi. sower intermixed with the crowd, and endeavoured to escape notice. Soon after whom, having in some degree recovered himself, the prisoner was pointed out to him, on which he gave him a severe thrashing, the effects of which the piisoner's face presented, being a complete mass of bruises, wi•h scarcely a feature discernible. Henry Poulton, a How-streit pairol, deposed, that about twelve O rte was near the tollgate, Battersea Bridge, in company with his partner , Cutting, when the landlord of the tavern called them, saying, there was a man in his house represeming himself as a Bow-street patrol, who had struck a gentleman on his head with a staff, and cut it open. AV itness rpaired to the house, and seizing the prisoner, inquired how long he had hem a Ikw-street patrol. He made no reply, and on searching him he found a constable's staff in his coat pocket. Witness then tot k him into custody. The prisoner in his defence denied having struck the gentleman ; he said he had been in the company of two parish constables, but who thee were he was quite ignorant ; it was one of them who cern witted the assault He, however, admitted passing himself 61f as an officer, for which he expressed great contrition, and humbly begged he might be allowed to make up the matter, at the /UMW time exhibiting his disfigured face, to show the punishment he had already undergone for his temerity. The Magistrate said he should allow no such thing. If an irdi vidual presumed to take upon himself the character of an officer without any authority, he deserved all he had received. He should therefore send the rass to the Sessions, and ordered him to And bail, in default of which he was committed to Horsealonger-lane Gsol, to answer the charge at the next Surrey Sessions. HORRIBLE MURDERS. The Rev. P. administrator of the perish of Killaneek, whilst returning home in the evening, shout a fortnight ago, was waylaid and barbarously murdered. Our correspondent in Gra ined informs us, that the Coroner's Inquest on the body was three several times adjeumed : at length the Jury brought in tko follow ing verdict, "G.rite by his death in consequence of wounds inflicted by some person or persons uriLnown." It is said, we trust without foundation, that this inhuman murder, lik^ many others t:•at hare disgraced the North, was the effect of party spirit. We expect that this affair will be strictly investigated. Though the Catholic Asso ciation no longer exists, the public press will endeavour to supply its pli.c^. and watch over the administration of justice—From the D.lblin Morning Post of Monday. Another murder, it is reported, took plate a few days since, in or near (igtlenaburgh, in Si. Lawrence County, attended with very aggravated and extraordinary circumstances. NI e have not heard the names of the parties; the leading fects, accnrciinF to the re ports in circulation. are theme :—A man in that vicinity, shortly after receiving 2,000 "loners in cash, went with his wife to visit some distant friends, leaving his house and fondly in charge of his daughter, about eighteen years of age, and a hired girl not much older. During his absence, a traveller put ap,, one evening, at a tavern, on the opposite side of the road, where, after supper, he overheard some conversation which excited his suspicions that a plan was on foot for ruhb''g him. lie accordingly Idt the tavern and went over to the Neighbouring house, and itmoducing himself to the daughter as the friend of her absent fat her, solicited lodging. I'heyoung women objected, but at length consentecLupon condition that they might lock him up in hie chamber. Not sathified, how ever, with this precaution, before they rmired they stepped over to the tavern, au/ invited the landlord's daughter to sleep with them. She came, and t•lept with the hired girl below stairs, while the young lady of the house occupied a room in the second story, ad joining the sirang.see chamber. About one o'clock in the morn ing the daughter was awakened by her guest, who requested to be released. She declined opening the door until convinced of his honourable intentions, and alarmed by noises from below, which the stranger said were i Idicative of robbery and murder. she silently followed film to the Pone of the stairs, where they heard, in a voiee moping as the landiord's, the appalling exclamation, " I have killed my own daughter." At that instant the speaker came out or the girl's bed-room, and as he approached, the stranger, with a pistol, shot him throagit the heart. The repert brought a second robber to the spot, who shared the same fate; a third one, who bad just filled his pockets with the 2,040 dollars, then approached with an iron bludgeon, and aimed a blow at the head of the stranger. He evaded It, and closing in with the robber, soon brought hint to the floor, and with the aid of the young lady succeeded in tying him very securely. They then hastened to the bcd.room, where a dreadful spectacle presented i.szlf. The two girls were weltering in their blood, said we dead t end the fire was so scattered and kindled about the room, that in a few moments it would have been bless,—.Vehtes Post, Feb. M.
