NORFOLK ASSIZES. CURIOUS CASE. pax 1 , . NOLTE ANT) ()VITAS. This seas an indictment for a conspiracy, under circumstances rih: r peculiar. The case was briefly as f o ll,, us: —M r . Waite. • gentleman residing in Stir• b , lk, was unfortunate in marriage, and about nine its ten years since was separated from his wife. Mr. WAe is the owner of some property at Methwohl, in Norfolk, and in one of his betties there be bad placed, as his bailiff, a Mr. FincliAm, and his family; ft rennet-Ann had been firmed between Mr. Wabc and Mr. Finchato's daughter, who had several chil dren by him. In the month of Het-ember. 1821, Mr. Web. It'd been attacked by a fever, which rendered him delirious, when he W 34 Flared under thecare of Mr. Nelson, as being insane. And Mrs. Wahe •,.ro fissing to believe that be was still in a state of men tal imbecility, thought proper, on the 16th of M a y following, to take a journey to Methwold, for the purpnse of taking possession of his property there . Fur this pnrpme, in company with her servant, Su sanna Horn, nee of the defendants, and a person paused Cooper, who has since absconded, she pro ceeded to Methwold, where Co .per professed himself to be a 11 ,, w-street officer; employed the other defen dant., Joseph Rolf:, Abraham Cordon, and Edmond Pella. twit of whom were constables. f the parish, end the third. arring under their direction, to take posses sion Of the house, in the occupation of Fincham, which tbey did. by turning the whole family out of doors; with partof the furniture. The defendant (Horn) had Conn..% whorontended that she was juNtilied in the part she took in the business, having acted oft der the direction and authority of her Mistress. She Was acquitted. • The ocher defendants were found guilty, but dis charged on entering lato recognizance. (in 51. each) to appear whescalled upon, and submit to the judg ment of the Court. Rear. Ndnon and Horn.—This indictment arose from the same circumstances ma the former= it was to obtain possession of Mr. Wahe's person, as being insane, hat Mr. Waha was gone from Methwold.— The ease was clearly made out, and both defendants found guilty. There was another Indictment for the same conspi racy, . loch was net tried. tics on the proseetaioa of John Lowden v. int grass.—This case erase entirely out of the t lion drtailed in the last. Mr. Intiv.len (the printers tor) hearing his son call out murder, rode to his ■s aistenrr, and on his coating up to him the defendant lift hula of his son's bridle, came ep to him, end heat film over the bead most severely with the bludgeon. Several witnesses (the same as on the former defence) were eal'ed to disprove the statement Mlle by Mr. Lowden, and corroborated by his s3ni ; their testimony THE ! . ~ _ mos eat accredited, aid the Airy returned AP.11 1 0 100 ." —Guilty. . . After the trial bis Lordship said, wh ither the de fentiaat had received any credit, by the witnesses he had produced, would be seta by a report of the case. • HOME CIRCUIT.—MairIeToNt, Ave. 13. DEFAMATION. 04T V. WHOMAR AND VIOL This was an action brought to recover damages fur defamatory words spoken by the defendant's wife. It appeared that the plaintiff was ironer to a latth dress, where she earned 14$. a week. The wife of the defendant having entertained some jealous feelings, thought peoper to circulate a report, in rather coarse language, that too close an intimacy bad existed be tween her husband and the plaintiff, in whose house, for sonic time she had lodged. So publicly, and so extensively circulated was the slander, that at length lit reached the ears of her employer, Mr. Hall, wko dismissed her from his service. These facts being fully proved, Mr. Guateev, for the defendant, observed, that as no justification had been put on the record, no evidence could be called for his client ; and remarked °pea the unfortunate situation of a husband who was falsely charged with incontinense, and nevertheless was to be made answerable for the words spoken by his wife. True however it was that, in law, be yeas an swerable for the tooguuof his wife, as weir we her debts ; he therefore hoped the damages would, be as small as possible. The Jury founds verdict for the plaintiff—Demages 3/., costs 40s. SOMERSET ASSIZES.—Weans, Auo. lt Robe; t Chileott, a wretched ; lookieg man of 71 years old was this morning pot to the bar charged' with a detestable offence. The evidence wai most clear against the prisoner, sad the jury, after about two minutes' consideration, found The judge (Me. Justice litrnsounn), in posing sentence of death, ad►ised the wretched man to make the best use of the time which yet remained to him, for that beyond a doubt sentence would be carried into execution on •the day appointed. The awful sen tence woe then pronounced, during which the prisoner was not in the least moved. While the Judge was ad dressing him, he two or three times repeated " I am as innocent as a baby." The reap of this wretched being n•as rather singu lar. We were informed that al.cett SO year: ago, he was tried, convicted, and received sentence of death for a burglary and robbery ; but be contrived to make his escape from the gaol, along with another convict, After this, he entered as a seaman on board a wan of war, where he remained many years, and received se veral wounds in action. At length he was discharg ed, being then. upwards of 60 years old, and, rated as an out-pensioner of Greenwich Hospital, with a pen sion of 141. per annum, which he has since enjoyed. For the Lst few years hr has practised as a chimney sweeper in this county. 'I here were two other capital indictments against him before the Grand Jury, but we believe they were not found. Tke crime for which 14 is to Mager was 4ton:flitted nearly two years ego. When! called upon for evidence to his character, prisoner said there was nobody in court to speak for him but Lis wife. POLICE. bistsstotOlorsc—James Brown, alias James Brown Court, a respectably dressed young man, was charged with haring obtained goods under false pretences, from John Dark, a cabinet-maker, residing in a street by London-wall. The complainant stated he had fitted up a counting-house, with desks, &c. to the amount of 161. Itis. for a firm called Fitzwilliam and Co. of whom the prisoner was one, without being able to obtain his money. An acquaintance of the complainant, Mr. Wil son, a hatter, on Cornhill, had received a bill from the firm, not of any value, being dishonoured. Severa l' more persons had complaints to prefer against the pri soner, if the Court would permit time to do so. The constable who apprehended the prisoner said that last night he had given in his name as Fluppert. On examining the books in the office, it appeared the prisoner had been before charged with a similar offence in December last. —Reminded until Saturday next. MAII LBOROU 0 S TREET.—Yesterday ifilliamMitford, otherwise Captain John Traccy, was brought from the House of Correction to undergo • final examination be fore the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Dven, on a charge of , forging the signature of Mr. John Lind° Rogerson to a' , Bank of Englitod post bill for 50/. Mr. Rogerson stated that he became acquainted with the prisoner about the middle of last Apt and the pri soner agreeing to procure him a situation, after several interviews, he required something as security from the witness, when he showed the post bill for 501. and the prisoner immediately said he would take that, and the witness need not be under any apprehension, as it could not be passed, not being regularly indorsed with the witness's name. lie accordingly gave him the Bank bill, and although the prisoner promised to call on him in a few days, he never saw him or his bill; that lie received several letters from him; at length findiug he had no chance of recovering the bill, lie went and stopped the payment, and was shortly after informed that it was paid in, with his name indoised on the back of it, though he had not indorsed or Authorised any person to do so. Mr. Debenhanc.shopman to a pawnbroker, of ['Vince's street, Sobo, proved having received the bill front the prisoner, who was known to'hiin by the name o 6 Tracey, and also his hiving redeemed property which was pledged for 3d/. 10s. 4d. aml receiving the difference. The bill was returned by witness among other monies, to the banking-house of Marsh and Co. who paid it into the Bank of England. Plank and Jeffreys, the officers, apprehended the prisoner on the 7th of August, at his house in Quebec-street. Mr. Fr►nk Twits, clerk in the Bank of Englano Post Bill Office, proved Itsving drawn up the bill fur the ac count of John Lindo Rogerson, to whom it W;1 4 1 m o le payable. The bill produced was the one he drew up— no other was issued by him. Mr. DIATNAID, the Bank Solicitor, said this was his case against the prisoner. The Magistrate asked if the the prisoner had any thing to say? Ile shook his head, and appeared so deeply dejected as to be unable to speak. The Magistrate then said, " You are fully committed to Newgate for trial." The prisoner slightly bowed and was removed. HATTONAJARDEN.—fOUTIIIIVL DEPRAVlTY.—Yester day, tieing the day appointed for the second examina tion of Mary 'flute Simplon, the little girl whose cue of robbing her master was given in our paper of Tues day list, the father and mother, attended by several per sons of respectable appearance, were in waiting by 12 o'clock. Tbeprnseentor,howerer,dfd not appear ; and the Magistrate having ordered the girl and her friends to be brought forward, he anunadeerted tra her of _ 'ATESMAN. Sag s • orno4 wi aalot w-seitida• sod .IV e lido to bee parents and herself,' She was die .. TowtMrhlfdat*tMnwa sr.--Yesterday the parish officers of St.Olave, attended before Alderman SMITH, to shew cause why they had compromised a charge of bastardy, without having the usual order of affiliation carried into effect according to law; tries', why they refuse.' sufficiency to maintain the child. In January last the parish officer's applied at this office for a warrant of bastardy against a young man named Hopkins, a student io one of the hospitals, in consequence of which be was apprehended and brought before the Magist.ates. He entered into re rognlzar,ess to pay 3s. 6.1, per week; bat soon after wards be came to an arrangement with the parochial authorities to pay a gross stun of 401. and have done with the care of the child altogether. The Committee embraced the offer and took the 401. bat the order of affiliation was tweet made oat, or enforced in its pro per forms. Mr. Ald. Sutra remarked that this conduct of the parish officers was by no means complimentary or re spectful to the Magistrate. The former had entered into a dangerous speculation, which they must have considered at the time either as profitable, or at least tantamount to an indemnification of the parish for all expenses incurred by the child. They had neglected the forms of law, by which they placed themselves in this situation ; should the child die, the father could recover every penny of the money by action, as they had neglected the order of aiiiiatioo. He spoke with great reluctance of the conduct of public bodies; but he considered it extraordinary in the gentlemen of the parish to compromise such an affair. Mr. Little (one of the acting Overseers) submitted that the pnrish — bad done perfectly tight in taking the 401. for then they had something tangible in their hands, whereas, on the contrary, if the usual bond in cases of bastardy was relied on, young men who were so unpleasantly situated could take themselves off at their leisure and pay nothing. The Alderman.—Yes ; bolt the order of affiliation ought to have been made out before you accepted of the 40/. Mr. Little.—si question, Sir, if we should be then justified in taking any money, when an order of Court hang is tarn:ire:a over the defendant, ■nd he might be called upon to pay again in pursuance of that order. 1 dare say that, if the young Lady's friends, in this case, give an indemnity to the parish that t►e child shall not become chargeable to it, the Gentle men of Obr Committee will willingly give up the 401. A great deal of_argurnent followed, in which the other overseer, Mr. Robins, and Mr. Schultze, the churchwarden, joined, The Magistrate appeared by no means satisfied with the explanation, and Le afterwards gave orders that no warrant's of bastardy should in future be introsted to parish officers to serve. - The mother of the child, a beautiful girl, of very genteel manners, was then called op. She stated that she was the daughter of Mr. 11--, a merchant in Tooley-street, and was seventeen year. old. Mr. Hop kins paid his addresees to her, bat was forbid by her father; however, they bad secret interviews. Her fa ther discarded her altogether, sod welishosot suffer he child to remain a moment in the !souse. She had no means of paying for the nursing hat 35.„ which she received weekly from the workhouses—the sum charged by the nurse was 75.: she, therefore, prayed fur some trilling advance from the parish officers. Magistrate—" How much do you think would be enough?" The young woman said she would be satisfied with 3s„ and she would try to earn the rest herself. Mr. Schultze and Mr. Robins thought the 3s. was , quite enough. I The Magistrate reminded them of the 40/.! It was then agreed, after a long discussion, that the subject of an additional grant of 2s. should be debated that night in the Committee, and the case was ac cordingly adjourned to this day. • Usitos-Hata..—Yesterday Samuel Davis. a watch man in Long-lane, Bermondsey, was charged with committing an assault on a little girl named Mary Bell. aged 10 years. • The Magistrate (M.SWASEY, Jun. Esq.) heard the charge in his private room, and from the testimony of the child, it appeared that she was the daughter of very distressed parents, who had a large family to support, and she in order to relive their burthen went out to work by the day. At the time the offence was committted she was employed by tire prisoner's wife to assist in some needlework, and one morning whilst Isar mistress we:a oat, the prisoner called her into his can, and on her entering, he seized her and attempt ed to assault her, but his wife ramming be did not accomplish the assault. Oa her leaving work and getting home she mentioned it to her parents, who lust no time in causing the miscreant to be appre hended. The prisoner in his &fence denied the accusation. The Magistrate said the assault had been clearly proved, and, therefore, he should call upon him to find bail to answer the charge at the Sessions. Not bring provided with the required sureties, he was committed to prison. Charles Young, a watchman in Long-lane, was ac cused of extorting 10s. from two men named Thomas gyres, and James Christmas, whom he found into•ci este., in the street, and having locked them op in the wstch•house all ni4ht, be permitted them to go at large next morning on their paying bim ills. The business would never have been found out had not the watchman applied for their discharge to Mr. ellA3l. DEIS, the Ma4istrate, who promptly made inquiry into the circutustances, and funding why he was induced to ,olicit titer liberty, the worthy Magistrate ordered Charley to refund the money, with an assurance that he should no louver lid the situation of watchman. A Mr. Beard, of the West-end of the town, was or dered to pay 20s. io aid of the Fund for the distressed Irish, for assaulting Robert Hall, the officer belong• ing to the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall, on the night of the grand fete in honour of the King's birth-day. IVni Stevens was charged with being concerned with many others, in a most disgraceful riot at a fune ral procession, and creating a disturbance in the bu rial ground at Lambeth, a few days ago. Mr. Seager, a reapertable undertaker and sexton of the Parish of Saint Mary, Lambeth, stated the cir cumstances as previously detailed in our paper. The parish had investigated the proceedings, and it was their determination to indict the prisoner for the **W... OW 4 * as a warm to esbet osier gelded perm,* • 'the prisoner denied t4oclsarge. He was ordered to find goad hall. WORSHIP s .—Yortyrday Mr. Prier, the Mas. ter. and several of the Officers beloeging to the Work. house of St. Luke, in the City-road, attended to so. serer the complaints of fix or seven peepers, leen% of the sail workhouse, for acts of cruelty and mulls severity towards theta, and re folios. them entrance into the raid poor-house. °merge Cottle, a pauper, stated to the Maxistest e ., that be bad been looked op at warless tittles for sere. ral dace together, and ea oaf occasion for three week and kept daring that portal oit bread and water o•,:h, and without a bed lie on. Several paupers on the part of Ito parish ac s called, whose evideuce sent to show, there had b en instances of lockiog up for misconduct in the work. house, Ike. See. but that the rations of food allowed Ot those occssions were the same as these given to otit-r paupers, and that they never knew the trOafinement t extend above a few Lotus, ur a day 'or t.vo at fir. thest. The Magistrates decided that the Master of the Workhouse bad no authority whatever to order see pauper into coo6wesnent, or treat them with creeks, the proper course bring to apply to the Gaardias of the Poor in all cases of 'contumacy or improper tee , duct, for the proper order, so that they might b e brought before the Magistrates; and if they did at do so, they were liable to answer fir it at the :!essiem. The Magistrates expressed their decided opinion that there had been no intention on the part of Mr. Prim the master of the estahlishtnent, to Si improperly. CORONERS' INQUESTS.
