He is of a reputable family, and bad never in the least been suspected of any dishonest practices before an accidental discovery took hoe on the day• of his apprehension. Several s lately been broken open i■ the neighbour be prisoner's residence, and ancoogst them that of Mr. Tate, grocer, in Ohlham-street, as the. night of the 19th inst. No one slept on the premises.' They were entered through the roof, is which a bole wes broken. and's number of articles taken sway by she col lar trap-door. On the 22d last. a neighbour of Rat cliffe's being I. his bakehouse, happened by mere accident to discover some grocery goods concealed in it. This excited his suspicion, and be immediately communicated the circumstance to Mr. Tate ; seve ral special constables of the neighbourhood west to Ratcliffe's bakehouse, and locked him up le it whilst they sent to Mr. Lavender, at tne Police Office, to take hies to the New Bailey. Is the interval Ratcliffe contrived to escape by climbing over a wall. An alarm was given, and he was pursued. He was soon stopped, having first being knocked down, with a large stick, one of the neighbours pursuing him.—He • was taken up to Mr. Tate's shop, and on searching him, under his top coat was fused a belt tied round his body, in which were placed two loaded pistols and a dagger. And upon his person and premises were also discovered a black leather cap. so contrived as. when wanted, to cover the upper part of the face, leaving holes for the eyes, a wig and common mask to farther disguise the face, a dark lancets, and phos phorous bottles. and other articles suited for the most diabolical purposes. A quantity of copper coin and ►arious grocery goods, taken from Mr. Tate's, were also futind, and a great number of kettles, bruslxdo, pans, and other household utensils. which had been stoles from the shop of Mr. Mellor. a broker, in threat A o cuat-it reet. The prisoner was this day broogli t up fur examination before James Nutters, Esq. Me. Roberts, in the employ of Mr. Tate, and Mr. Mellor, proved that their respective shape had been robbed, and that a quantity of stolen property had been found on the prisoner's premises. Booth, of the Police Of fice swell, when he toak the prisoner into custody he ad mitted barb the robberies, and said his reason was be. cause be wanted money to pay his rent. He had been four or five times on the night of the rubbery at Tate's shop. He was committed to the Sessions fur trial. The dagger, which was 'hewn in the Court, caused a degree of horror in every spectator. The prisoner bad evidently bestowed a great degree of lA boar upon it: it was sharpened on each side and at the point to such a degree, that either io cutting or thrust ing it would have been a most murderous weapon. ti_jiliwigasttLef s tt be area, in an open g2det 011Pluffig Hr.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 3. CRI SI CON. ALLARDYCZ, SSQ. V. JOHNSON., ESQ. This was an action brought by James Allarilyce„ Esq against Alexander W. Johnson, R.q. for crimi nal conversation with Dorothy, the wife of the plain tiff. The defendant pleaded—Not Oldlv. The SOLICITOR•OHNEItAL, Mr. OVIIMIY. and Mr. CAMPBRLL. conducted the plaintiffs case; and Mt. SCARLICIT and, Mr. PULLZR, the defendant's. The case proved in the evidence was this:—The plain tiff is a surgeon of the 34th regiment, serving is the East Indies, and the defendant isaCaptain in the Native Ha valry of the East India Company on the Madras eetab• lishment. On the Bth of May, 1813, the plaintiff was married to a Miss Walker, his present wife, the daugh . ter of a Mrs. IValker, of Whitby, in Yorkshire. Soon after the birth of their first child, they went to the Easel Indies. At the time of the marriage, the lady was 24, and the gentleman about 30 years of age, and according to the testimony of a great many respectable witnesses • who knew them intimately in India, they lived together on terms of the most perfect connubial felicity. la the beginning of last year the plaintiff sent his wife to Eng; land, with three of her children, the oldest being six years of age, and the youngest an infant almost introit the latter being in a very precarious state of health, intend-, ing himself to follow her in a few months, his profes sional pursuits not permitting him to accompany her. He entrusted her to the care of Captain Chapman, an intimate friend of the family, and the commander of the vessel. She was attended by a female servant to take care of the children. On board this vessel, whirls sailed from Madras. the defendant, who was previoasly eau (painted with the plaintiff and his lady, happened to be a passenger, coming to England on what is called sick leave. During the voyage he appeared uncommonly at tentive to Mrs. Allardyce, and was so particular in his conduct as to excite the observation of the other pas sengers ; but there was. however, no direct proof of any thing like criminality. The evidence, however, tested to sbew that they were situated on board the vessel an der such circumstances, as gave unusual opportunities for intercourse—such as tke gentleman being in the lady's cabin, after the rest of the passengers had retired* to repose. The only circumstance to cube , ahrouspi cion of a criminatory nature, was an e x pres si on proved to have been afterwards used by the defendant, com plaining that Mr. Allardyce's friends were premature in informing bet husband of what took place oo beard the ship. When the vowel arrived in England, Mrs. Allar dyce took up her abode at the beetle of a gentleman named Stevenson, for three or four day, sad then she took lodgings for a week or ten days to Coram-street. Brunswick-square, where the defendant visited her con stantly. At the end of that time Mrs. Allardyce ex pressed her intention of going down to see her mother at Whitby, and accordingly the whole of a stage conch was taken to convey herself, children. and .aervaat-maid to York. When the coach got about a mile oat of town, it was hailed by the defendant, who immediately got in, and accompanied Mrs. Allardyce, to York, under trpki end SYDNEY died on- the Scaffold!" that ho -was going down to Scotland about some money collect. However, on his arrival at York, he changed his abed, sod said that as he bad money enough, he *Weld raters at Iwedoe. After Mrs. Allardyce Mai chid with bow mother at Whitby for a few weeks, she eetareed to the Metropolis, accompanied by her two slates. owe of whom was about to he married to a Headman named Metcalfe, and lodginge were takes for leer reception at N 0.5, Brompton-row, Bros!). ton. Site had not reached her new abode above an hour, whew lb* defendant made his appiarance, and then con aimed to be a constant daily visitor. She arrived at Brant= oil the ilth of April last. Sh or tly a ft er this, zur reached England that the pl a i n tiff, he r hus sars dead. She appeared affected at the intelli genes, and staid at home almost all the time she was at Bronspton. - On the 14th of May, however, Mr. Met calf*, the gentleman :who was paying his addresses to Ala sister, went to the India House, and ~.. t, bar a utter,. acquainting bar that her husband , ‘ lad well. She ab e d t ears o f jo at the news, Reda Ahem expressed himself. Th fendant, how ever.continued constant in his visits au attentions. It was proposed that Mrs. Allardyce and her children should go to France for the benefit of their health. Mrs. Allardyee raid she would go alone, and that the chil dren must follow her. Accordingly she set off alone, and on her arrival at Dover, the defendant was seen in bercompany; she went to Dunkirk; the defendant took up his residence at Boulogne, but he became a constant visit.w of hers at Dunkirk. They were once seen to gether in a gig at St. Omer's; at the latter end of Sep ember, Mrs. Allardice retnrned to England, and re sumed her residence at Brompton, where the defendant was again a constant visitor. On the lit of October the plaintiff arrived in England, and immediately joined his wife, and slept with her for tom nights; on the last night he discovered that she was far advanced in preg nancy. This led to an exposure of her guilt, and a full confession that he had been dishoeonred. Prom that time he had ceased all intercourse with her. Another lodging was procured for her, whither she was reninveil. and - the unhappy plaintiff has ever since resided with a Mead. The defendant is now residing wi•ti his sister, at Boulogne. The only proof of criminality was the de dant's owneonfession, iu a conversation between him nd Mrs. Allardyce, which was partly overheard by the sister of the latter. They were sitting on the sofa in the lodgings, at Brompton, on their return from France, sad were engaged in earnest conversation in a low tone of wire. The sister beard the defendant say to Mrs. Allardyce, " Will you take your oath that I am the fa ther of the child 's ^ She replied that she would. The defendant promised to make her every reparation in his power, sod said be would marry her. After the plaintiff had been made acquainted with the injury be bad re ceived, at his suggestion, Mrs. Allarolvce wrote to the defendant, desiring him to returu her letters to him, and _ . of the cri bundle) in for a corn it's on this one, dated 1 “ That on be found' , A, the ens-' has he never his possess that as to remained bundle as she bad sent them, but he would make i of them, and send them under cover." The second was without date, but the post mark bore the date 2'2d of October, in which lie wrote to this effect: :there is any apprehension on the part of any per , concerned, that! mean to desert you, or to act de gatoryto the principles of a man of honour and a (entleman. I can only say thee are deceiving themselves. As our intimacy existed only during the supposed death of Mr. Allardyce, I sin ready, in the event of a divorce, to offer von my hand and protection ; but I must s tat e . that if the unfortunate affair is brought before the puh tic in any shape tending to hurt my character, I shall defend myself to the utmost, and declare circumstances as they occurred. from our first acquaintance, which I 'feel confident will clear me from any unfavourable opi nion of the world.—? 6, Foley-place." It was proved, 'that the pay of a Captain of Cavalry, while on service in India, amounts to about SOW. per annum. The de fendant was not proved to have any other means of sup I port. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. Scoatarr then addressed the Jep? in mitigation of damages. He admitted that the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict, hut he submitted that it was a case for as k moderate damages as ever came before a Jury. He dwelt upon the circnastauce of the plaintiff and de fendant being utter strangers to each other, before this unhappy affair, and urged that there was no breach of hospitality, of confidence, or of friendship, features 'which too frequently c;aaracterised cases of this &scrip don. Much was to be attributed to the indiscretion of the husband in sending Ms site to England on a long ' voyage hem India, without his protection, when from the eater" of things some degree a intimacy must be farmed between persons, so long shot up in each other's , society. On the part of the deb-edam, who was a very young man, there appeared to have been no arts of se duction used ; and from all the evidence in the cause, wish as it was, there was nothing to spew that any cri minality had take, place, bat in the interval when the plaintiEwas supposed to be dead. Taking all these cit.- commences into consideration, and also the probability, that if the defendant was shut up in a prison in eon,e quenetrof the verdict of a Jury, be would be ruined in all ,his professional nrospects, he trusted that the Jury would feel themselves warranted in giving very moderate alarterta' : ' The Lien Cuter JUSTICE summed np the ease for the Jar , and observed that the conduct of the pi..in•qf was , eet ly blameless ;and advertieg to the topic which ad been urged on behalf of Rite defendant, that his lolly bad been left in an unprotected state, he could not .help coopideriog that it was the duty of every man on loosed the ship to become her protector in inch a si tuation. The plaintiff was clearly entitled to a verdict, and the Jury would say what damages he was entitled to receive under all the circumstances of the case. The Jury immediately found their verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 5001. DESPERATE HOUSEBREAKERS. NEW BAILEY. COURT-SOUSE. Itsucnerran. Dsc. 44. .
