absence, the defendant conducted the business of the house. It frequently happened that witness's house allowed their travellers to retain aril balances in their bands, because they always took surety bonds from them. The 14011 D Color JOST Ter here interposed and said, " Then let me tell you that you did not discharge your duty to the surety. It is your duty to take.as much care of the interests of your surety as of your own. pray, Sir, alter that practice in future. Wanes said he didnot knew if it was the practice of the trade to take bonds for their travellers, but it had been his custom for twenty years peek The balances in favour of the house were Sever concealed from witness by Taylor, and the accounts were regularly entered quarterly in succession. Taylor took his cash book away with him. A letter from Taylor to the defendant's house was put in, dated friitn Plymouth, February 23, 1821, in which he gave a list of aunts, for which he debited himself; amongst which were the • stun of Mi. to. Bd., which had been paid to him by pr. Bannister. This was the defendant's case. Mr. tle AAA ZA T replied, and contended that it was quite mani fest, from the whole transaction, that the defendant knew that Taylor had embezzled money belonging to his house at the time he gave the representation in question as to Taylor's character, and consequently he was answerable in this action. The defendant's general character, as a man of honour. was not in question in this cue ; but where a party actually knows that a aervant is dishonest, and he gives that man a good character, whatever his motive might hc, he would still be liable for the consequence, if it turned out Glut the character so given was untrue. This was the issue on the present occasion, and it was impossible for the Jury to hesitate about their verdict. The plaintiff having been deceived by the de. frodant's representations, he was clearly entitled to maintain this uction for lie fall amount to which he had been damnified, in COO* a , . ante of the Unmerited trust reposed in Taylor. • 21te Lo all CHIEF JUSTICE summed up the case for the Jury, and told them that the question for their consideration was, who res at tht time defendant represented to the plainti ff that Taylor as • man of honest character, and might be safely trusted, he Conscious of the falsehood and deceitfulness of that representa tion. If he was, the defendant was liable to this action, whatever Might be his motive • but if not, then he would be entitled to a ether. Ills. Lordship kneW of tio distinction between false fisi.sl and deceit, because a false representation is of necessity calculated to deceive. The motive fur the fake representation need not neernatily he of a personal nature to make the defendant liable; fin if, from kind motives, he gives • false character to an un worthy man, still it would, in the eye of the law, be false and deceitful. The Jury fo'tnd their verdict for the plaintiff—Damages Eight Hundred and One Pounds. SHERIFF'S FFI', Jaw. 22. LIBEL. /MENNEN V. lINIGHT AND ANOTIMIL This was an inquiry to 'tiaras the damages sustained by the piwintiffby the publication of a libel by the defendants. Mr. Serjesnt V•L'OLIAN and Mr. Cones( were Counsel for the Plaintiff. and Mr. C. PHILLIPS for the defendant. Mr. Cowie opened the pleadings. The plaintiff; he said, was of man-midwife; the defendants, Knight and Lacey, were book- Netterss the netion was brought to recovers compensation in da magesfer a libel on the plaintiff', published by the defendants in a periodical work called The Medical Adviser. Mr. Serjeint VAVOIIAN stated the case. The plaintiff found , himself under the painful necessity of applying to the Jury to vindi. 1 COP his character (corn a stain cast on it by the defendant', which they would have 6rreat pleasure in removing. The libel was pub. • Bthed in a petiodteal work called The Medical Adviser, which WAS stated to be edited by a Doctor Burnett. The plain tiff was a gen- demon, about fifty yen" , of age, and of established character for many years in the medical profession. He came to London at the um of sixteen, and for some years after lived as an assistant with is very respectable apothecary and medical practitioner of the name of Evans, who then resided on Holborn-bridge; after ellich he commenced business foe himself on Saffron-hill, from which he had many yearn Mum removed to liatton-garden. The defend. .' arms were bonksellers aid publishers, in Paternoster-row, and had published the libel on the plaintiff; far which the action was brought. It was always desirable in cases of libel to attack the anther, and make him respons:ble, but the Jury knew those batiles were generally fought in armour and disgnise, and it was difficult to come at the nothor, The plaintiff' seeing :he name of Me. Titterton in the libel, whO must be 'lmpostd to know *melting about it. applied to him for information on the subject, bat none WILY afforded. Should Mr. Titterton be' called by the defendants, he might, perhaps,. give some info,. 1 motion that would alleviate their moral guilt. One remark he would make on written libel, as contrasted with verbal slander. To appeal to a Court of Justice for reparation 1 in a case of verbal slander, nine times out of ten, showed reore the . erre-lees than the soundness of character. Such slander was ge nerally the effect of passion; and, as breath was fleeting. the injury was seldom lasting ; but not so with a written libel. appearing in a medical journal. No matt had more respect for the medical pro. Passion than himself ; he was descended from it, and nearly eon netted with it ; and if he raw the medical journal in which the libel was contained, which is called en Adviser, and comes out weekly to Infortn the public, and has a view of the College of Surgeons as a feondaplece. as it was published under their authority, he would naturally regard such a publication with respect, knowing that it muss be highly nseful &well conducted. He would agree with his Learned Friend (Mr. Phillips) in all he could say in praise of the hiserty of the press ; he only wished to prevent its abuse. The Jury won:d judge, by the conduct' of the defen dants. whether the libel had promeded from an error of judgment, et a tiefeet of heart—whether it was like a bawl expression made by a person tripping into error, and willing to retract. Written • slander affects not only the individual, bur his family and friends, _ - and Many years after im 'original publication may injure even the . • children of the party r.gainst whom it is directed, as the enrc • nomad sting remains. Its being written shows it is done with de-' liberation, and the writer slisitild be • prepared, when exiled on, to' Drove that his facts are correct. However severe the censure, if the recut were correct, the party might say, I am sorry to hart any man's feelings , but thought it my duty to the public to state Dens in which they were concerned ; hut if the facts were false, the publication was malicious, and the publisher must answer for it. The plaintiff did not come before the Jury in a spirit of hostility, but of defence. No mar deserved to have a character whoheld it so loose as not to defend himself from the repeated attacks made on the character of the plaintiff in the publication of the defen dents. He might pass over it once : but when ft was repeated a slimed, and even a third time, it showed it was a systematic attack, • from which he was bound to vindicate his character, by - 'Mg as the plaintiff had done, by bringing an action, in wWf; I M defendants were at liberty to justify the libel, if it could be justi. tied. They could net now say, as they might if proceeded against Ivy indictment, " You know you are safe; we are not allowed to prove the fats we hare stated, but bring your action, and we'll prove their truth." By the proceeding adopted by the plaintiff, . the were allowed the opportunity of proving their statements, if they were true. In The Medical Adviser of the 24th of April, in a notice to a correspondent, after mentioning another surgeon, Cher say, " and Skinner, the surgeon of Hatton-garden, was a lolfypop-seller in a little shop in Saffron-hill. They both (save the Mark!) are respectable and persevering grryinsionnfo' Lolly. pops, it was known, were sold by vagrants, as an entente for their remaining in a state of idleness and profligacy ; and was the plaintiff td be degraded by the false representation of having ever been a dealer In the same article ? He challenged them to prove that there wma any troth in the asserting—it was wholly false. Of that false hood his client took no notice-'hey became bolder, and attacked him for want of skill and humanity in the exercise of his profession. If a nian of genius had been a lollypop-seller, and had advanced himself in life, it would be most illiberal to use it as a reproach. `'",lany of the brightest ornaments of all the professions had began life in humble situations, and had afterwards, by their talents and • industry, raised thernselves to the pinnacle of fame. The Medical .fdlitter, or the sth of June, contained the libel for which the action WM h-might, which be would read : " The Lollypop Surgeon, Skinner, of Hatton-garden, who, when he lived on Saffron.hill, made as good lollypop% as ever were eaten, lately was sent for to a young woman who was in labour. He, air - he true tradesman-like way, first asked was the money forth coming; and boding it uotquite so g nick as be wished, turned on hht five! and left the patiefft." Left the palest! said Mr. Sergeant Vaughan—what man, with a heart in fits bosom, could see a woman in her agony, and ttipulate fotmoney before he would give his assistance, and turn on his heel sad leave her to her fate when he found it was not forthcoming? Would such a btote be tit to live amongst men ? If it were true, it was fit the world should know the monster, that he might be Guided ; if false', and it was now admitted to be false, could a gesseer calumny on the human heart be published I But what foi :sired shed a little day-light on what he hid read. The Jury should I bear it:— " Mr. Titterton, 'elegem, of Wilmington-square, Spafields, was Oren sent for, and with the most prompt humanity saved the poor woman's life- The latter gentleman found her in a deplorable situation, owing to delay." This spoke volumes:—inhumanity—brutality—every thing die. grateful to man was imputed to the plaintiff, for the purpose of nuemg Mr. Titterton. He hoped, foe Mr. Titterton'a honour, he would he eaamioed as a witness: he, no doubt, Could prove the fact, that the woman was in a deplorable situation from delay. There witt no suck man living as Eli. Burnett, whose name was given in Tft'Afeitteal Advise of tht editor: pains had been taken to Cad Lini'out. The use of this name was mere quackery and imposture. I firrit a mere trading concern, cariad on under false colours; no rnsinfir physician would lend his name to such a publication. He csami on Mt. Titre-non to state what information he gave the de fedflants on the subject. When the public saw names and circtim- Itiklaa an particularly stated, they would naturally believe the ac couter; which was a moat atrocious libel. The action was net bledight ftw any special damage sustained by the plaintiff, bet the frl n J mpre to estimate the mniehief that was likely to ensue to him ' the publication of the libel, and that was incalculable. this second attack was made on the plaintiff's character he applied to Mr. Thtertcri for some information on the subject, but I.eididined affording any. The printer was applied to, end lie stead that he was merely employed by the defeudants to pint the wort; and teat wholly unacquainted with its contents. Ills de fendants were then applied to : Mew acknowledged that they were the publishers, but would give no hiformation respecting Dr. Bur. sea, Whose name appears as editor. They were bid they would km held yesponeible, and the action was commenced on the Ski of Jam; and, to show the mind of the defendants, he would read a publication Orhich appeared in The Matinee rtifelser of the 21 1 1th of lore, three de/settle the'actius - wag committed. It was headed, s , *onset. of Qdaekery," and pluseetled— " The table elitist's. Irstight• an, timer; one paddlaben, ab: '""'~., solutely stergers beneath copies of writs served upon them by the quacks. There has been an eternal going in and going out of at torneys and their adjutants for the last fortnight, at 24 Paternos ter-row, and all about our `Annals of Quackery !' We shall not be far astray if we prophecy, that these proceedings, like the tenor of the quacks' calling, are mere puff We are not to be frightened by threats in the cause we advocate, nor do we dread men the formidable arena of a court of law, confident as we are that outraged justice would spurn the reptiles upon which we have so effectually trodden, should they creep in beneath the judgment seat to insult it with their mockery. The }catty Doss is to be the first to dare the experintent ; and, as we hate no doubt that the numerous sutferers from this braneb of quackery will feel happy in its defeat, we request they will forward to us all the information its their power which may tend to annihilate this nest of roguery. The Kent-road quack has, we are informed, given up his inten tion of prosecuting us; but we are yet threatened by Friedeberg, his father, the Jordan', and Dr. De Brockton." The beamed Sergeant proceedeci—U'hat would the Jury say to that ? The reptiles upon which they had so effectually trodden ! The avowed object of the libel was to drive the plaintiff out of so ciety—he stands before his accuses" with front erect, and challeges them to prove a stain on his character. The libel proceeds witb a beautiful apostrophe—" Shades of Esculapitis and Haien, protect us from this battery of poisonous pills." And then soother epos trophe, still more exquisite, to the spirits—not of the dead—but of I the bright star of the age, one of wham was then present to their prayer—" Spirits of Copley, Scarlet, Brougham, and Phillips, grant us our brief prayer—deliver us, we beseech you, from our enemies, the quacks !! !" Here, then, is one of their great deli. verers, though last, not least, in love. But does the writer sup pose that all the spirits he invoked could shield him from the con sequences of the libel he had published ? They had the gift of tongues, but they should have the power of working miracles to shield him trout the justice of the law. Some had die power "to make the worse appear the better season," and he strongly sus pected his Learned Friend, by whom the Jury would be addressed, was one of them ; but no force of eloquence could change the facts, which applied equally to the head and the heart, and he was confi dent would receive their just consideration from the Jury. Did the defendants think they were inaccessible to the law because an eloquent speech would be made for them to the Jury ? Eloquence could do nothinu, in the case without facts, and it' they did not call Mr. Titterton, who mtsst be able to prove the facts, if they existed, the plaintiff's case was invulnerable. The writer prooeedea to say, ar.d he prayed the Jury to mark the nickednessof what followed : " Lollypop is outrageous, because we commented upon his prac tice in such a manner as we felt it our duty. Vie have before no now seven cat's, which, had he seen, lie would think us charita ble, and thank ass for not speaking more fully. The case of open ing the child's head, in chick the prudent advice of Dr. Bartlett had a timely effect, is in our possession; but we refrain from pub fishing it, and the other cases, for a week or two." Was not this ilaißlitholoo ? ll'as it not to say, " I'll put a pistol to his had to prevent his proceeding ? We have seven other cases, which, if he dares to proceed with his action, we'll publish." In the same number was published a letter, slatted " Pill Box," in which the writer says— " I have read an article in your 27th Number, headed, ' The Lollypop Surircon,• wherein a surgeon of Hatton-garden is said to have deserted a woman in labour, because, forsooth, his fee was not forthcoming. Now, if this is correct, I think lie richly deserves exposure and its coasequencee, and would have done so, had his medical education been ever an regular ; but had the recital of this outrage 03 every feeling mind been given without any allusion to Iris former station in life, It would have appeared rather that you had been actuated by a sense of public duty as a Journalist, than prit ate invective." The letter admits, that if all imputed to the plaintiff was true, it would lank less like invective, it they had abstained from allu sion to hie former situation in life. They could have no better comment on that part of the libellous conduct. There was no defence to the libel. The party had, no clouts:, tried what could be dune in the way of a justification, and failed ; and they only came before the Jury to try what could be done in the way of miti gation. But that should be done, not by a speech, but by facts. If they did not call Titterton to prove the facts, a blacker case never came into a Court of Justice. Jr they did not call him, it would prose that the libel was a falsehood that aimed at the life blood of the plaintiff's character. It was a case that called for severe thin:urea, and the Jury could not do a g reater service to the press than by lopping off those excrescences by which it was disfigured, and showing those who publish statements injurious to the characters of others, that they must be prepared to prove the facto Ile was certain t hey would hear his Learned Friend with ! great pleasure—his eloquence was fascinating; but the Jury, lie was satisfied, would not allow themselves, to be intluenced by elo quence without facts. Thomas Corani proved that he was clerk to Mr. Walker, the plaintiff's attorney. On the 224 of June, he purchased from Mr. Knight, at the defendant's shop, The .Ifedical Adviser, No. 27, which contained the libel. After the purchnse, he sake) .31r. Knight where Dr. Burnett, the editor, lived ? Knight said he rood not give his address, but a letter left there would find him ; and asked the object of the inquiry ? Witness pointed out the libel to him, and asked, would be give up the name of the author? Knight read the libel, and laughed; and said he would not give up the name of the author, but Doctor Burnett was re sponsible. A copy of a writ was served op the defendants the ,next day. The libel was read. _ _ . . Daniel Jackson proved that be knew the plaintiff twenty-eight H; he was then assistant to Mr. Evans, an apothecary on Holborn-hill, and won a ft cr commenced business for himself in Saffron-hill ; he also practised midwifery. lie had been wit ness's spoilteary ever since, and had attended his wife in several confinements, the first fourteen years ago ; he was recommended by Doctor Squires, under whom he bad studied, and was in good practice. On his cross-examination the witness said, he was a white smith ; when the plaintiff first set up in saft'ron.hill, he had but half a shop—a grocer had the other half. Plaintiff had nothing to do with the grocer's business ; there were no loUypops sold in the shop. Doctor Blegborough stated, that he knew the plaintiff, living in Hatton Garden, and practising midwifery, about 15 years. He always thought him a man of great humanity, and saw him at tend the 'poor with great assiduity. His practice is considerable ; witness had assisted him in about a dozen difficult cases, in all of which it would be prudent of any practitioner to call assistance. He keeps a carriage, which witness is sure he would not do if his busi ness did not require and afford it. Mr Charles Taylor stated, that the plaintiff attended his wife in her confinements tor eight years. and had extensive practice. Another witness proved that Mr. Titterton was present in Court. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. Coastal:a Poutt PS addressed the Jury for the defendants, who were, he said, respectable young men, who had commenced business two years since, with bat little capital, and had corn. menced the publication of The Medical Adviser in the confi dence that the information it contained would be correct, and that it would put down the quacks, whose TAM.% they all saw chalked on walls, by whom the ignorant were deluded out of their money, their health, and their lives. It was not prete-ided that the libel was written by the defendants, and they would observe that Tit terton's name and address were given. Ile would now state that Titterton was the person from whom they received the libel for publication, and they now offered the plaintiff' to prove that fact for him, and furnish him with the means of suing Titterton. Mr. Knight, when applied to to give up Titterton, refused, because he supposed the facts were true ; but as it is now evident they cannot lie proved, they are willing to give him up, that he may answer for his conduct. Mr. Sergeant VAUGRAN said it was too late now. Mr. Puirhirs said that was all the defendants could do; they made the offer as soon as they knew the facts could not be proved. It would be hard to call on them for damages they were unable to hay ; the coots alone would bear heavy on them. Tile plainti ff ad suffered no real injury. Ile (Mr. Phillips) . should not wonder it' his practice and his honours were greatly increased by it—if, in due tinie,he became a Knight, like a brother midwife in Ireland, who was knighted by the Duke of Rutland when he was Lord Lieutenant of that country, who was it the habit, when drunk, of knighting every one that struck his fancy. The Irish midwife even thought himself entitled to higher honours, as appeared by some ”tses he composed on the occasion, which the Jury should now bear— " Ills Grace has made of me a Knight— I should have been a Lord by right ; And then the Ladies' cry would be, ()Lord ! dear Lord ! deliver me."—(A laugh.) He hoped the Jury would take all the circumstances in favour of the defendants into their consideration, and in the midst of judg. meet remember mercy. The SECONDARY charged the Jury, that the libel complained of was one calculated to do the plaintiff a very serious injury —it was not attempted to be justi fied, and the offer of the difendants to give up the author by which they might have saved themselves from the consequences of the publication, now came too late. The Jury would judge of the amount of damages. The Jury, after a short consultation, assessed the d..mages at Fifty Pounds. At Lancaster Sessions, on Monday week, there was one appeal, one felon, one witness, and one misdemeanor, and in suendance several Barristen.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, SATURDAY, JAN. 22. THE SING V. PITT. This was an indictment, charging the defendant, Chocks Pitt, the elder, with having, on the 26th day of last December, dis nailed a congregation of Protestant Dissenters, whilst enga ged in religious worship. 'The prosecutors in this case are seceders from the Society of Wesleyan Methodists, and are generally known under the deno mination of Ranters. On the occasion out of which the present prosecution arose they were met for religious purposes, in a house in Clernenes-lane. Mr. AwDaiwa was proceeding to state the case for the prosecu tion when he was interrupted by— The Cwatam•w, who said he suspected the prosecutors had been a little too precipitate ; they had brought this case into Court as it were per saltsm; they should in his opinion have, in the first instance, gone before a Magistrate, as the defendant stood indicted, not for an offence at common law, but for an offence against the statute. Mr. A NDR ER s, on referring to the indictment, said lie found ' the words " against the statute" interlined. Ile therefore felt him. self bound to concur with the ',earned ('hairman in his view of the matter, and indeed there was, he thought, another objection. The offence was stated to have been committed " in the aforesaid parish." I Now there were two parishes mentioned in the beginning of the in dictment. viz. " St. Martin's-in-the-fields" and " St. Clement Danes, therefore nos coorfof to which these words had reference. Air. Pitt begged the Court would hear him fur five mi nutes. lie had been dragged before them as a criminal, and it was but an set of justice that he should be heard. The CHAIRMAN asked him if he was not aware that the indict ment did not hold, and that all was now over? Mr. Pitt—Yes, Sir; but I would wish that we could get rid of these technicalities of the law, and that 1 might have an opportu nity of explaining my own conduct, and exposing the infamy of these ranting societies, that disgrace the country. Besides, Sir, I wish to show that an attempt has been made to extort money from mo by means of this prosecution : 1, Sir, receives' two letters, pro mising to give it up if I paid the money. Mr. A wenEws—This, surely, i. inverting the order of pro ceeding. if the case in to go on, I think 1 alitiuld be allowed to speak first : and should Air. Pitt not be satisfied with having es caped in the present instance, we shall take care to have him here again on a proper indictment. Air. Pitt (addressing Air. Andrews)—Sir, I teg to say that I have great respect for you ; but don't use the word escape. I must insist on your not using that word. The Cliatamaw here interposed, and the case dropped. POLICE. GUILDHALL. A BURGLARY SIWOULARLY --- PREYEXTED.—Two fellows, named Thomas Jotter and John Pipe, were brought up for final examination on Saturday before the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Alder man ANSLEY. The circumstances of the case against them were singular, developing a well-planned extensive robbery, detected and prevented by accident alone. Mr. Kent, Russia merchant, has very extensive premises in Falcon-street, Aldersgate-street ' • they are occupied wholly in business ; nobody sleeps there, and his men generally leave their employ at six o'clock at night. it happened, however, on Thursday last, that one of Mr. Kent's men, who kad been sent out with the waggon, left it in die street while he went ii.to a public-house to drink, and in the interim some one had driven it off, and the car man, after much inquiry, getting no trace of it, returned to tell 3lr. Kent of his disaster. He despatched people in all directians, and the cart was ultimately found. These circumstances had kept Mr. Kent himself, and several of the men, about the premises tall late in the evening. About eight o'clock, Higgins, one of the men, having occasion to go down into the cellar with a candle in his hand. saw a man (the prisoner Jones) close by the dust-bin, which was large enough for him to have hid himself in, but Higgins had come upon him too suddenly, and knowing that he was probably out of the hearing of any body, and suspecting that Jones might be armed, he seized upon him without much parley. Jones struck his candle out, and resisted violently. Higgins, however, still held him, and hallooing " murder" with all his strength of lungs, was very fortunately heard by some of the other men, who ran to his assistance, and the prisoner was secured. Taylor, an officer, was sent for, and on searching the fellow, found all the necessary im plements and accompaniments for housebreaking, viz., a phos phorus box, matches, and candle, skeleton keys, a small and a large crow-bar, &c. &c. As the premises are closed at six o'clock generally, and would have been so closed that evening but for the circumstance about the cart, the prisoner had entered and made his way to the cellar -before that hour, and as it would have been un safe to have attempted anything till towards midnight, he had pre. pared to enjoy himself in thy interval, and had accordingly brought with him some bread and cheese, his pipe and some tobacco.— With a view to detect his accomplices, who, it was expected, would be making their appearance about the premises to be let in by him, it was determined not to give the altrrn by taking him off at once to the Compter ; and a temporary prison was accord. ingly made of Alr. Kent's large iron safe, which they . cleared of all its books and papers, and locked him in it. The prisoner took all this very coolly for an hour or two, begging only, when they went to give him air. that they would take him off at once to the watch. house or the Cornpter, as he was getting so d—d cold and un comfortable, with which request they at length complied. A good look-out was kept about the premises, and early in the morning, before day-light, two or three fellows were seen lurking about, and one, in particular, peeping occasionally through the key-hole. The description of this fellow answering to that of John Pipe, who had formerly been in Mr. Kent's employ, he was sent for, and recognized by a boy of the name of Daniels, who had seen him two or three times in the very act of peeping, and John Pipe was accordingly taken into custody as an accom plice. lie, however, disclaimed all knowledge of Jones; and there being no direct proof to connect him with him, he was dia. charged, with a serious admonition from the Alderman. Jones, under the adrift of a lawyer,looking personage, who attended on his behalf. declined saying any thing in his defence at present, and was committed for trial. MARY-LA-BONNE. True Bills of Indictment having been found by a (hand Jury of Middlesex against Godfrey, alias Cooke; Mrs. Stafford Cooke, alias Saunders ; James Cravat!, who azted as groom to Mrs. Saunders ; and Mrs. Parkes, of Chelsea, for obtaining Koods un der false pretences, upon whose recommendation sonic of the pro perty was obtained, The Solicitor far the prosecution attended at this office on Bator day, notice having been given by Godfrey that he should put in bail to the Bench Wanant. The Counr not having fixed the amount of bail, Mr. Bowen:sox, after some conversation with the solicitor, said, that he should require two sureties in one hundred and fifty pounds each, and Godfrey , in the sum of three hundred pounds. The bail who presented themselves gave their names Thomas Scales, of Barron's-buildings, Lambeth, bricklayer; and Thomas Brown, of Duke -street, Bethnal-green, wine-cooper. Upon the examination of Scales, it turned ont that he was not a bricklayer, but that he got an oecasional shilling by putting up grates in kitchens, and white-washing houses. lie said he had known the prisoner, Godfrey, six months; he met with him at a public-house by the King's Bench Prison, and he told him that he was • gentleman's servant, and that was all he knew of Godfrey. Mr. RAWILIVSON asked Ifan whet he was worth when all his debts were paid. He replied. 4W. Mr. RAW LINCON informed him that the bail required was 1501. but supposing it had been only 4W. he would not have accepted !dm 115 bail. The other bail declined going through the ordeal of an exami nation, as Godfrey had decAved him, by telling him the bail re quired was only to the amount of 401. Mr. HAW LI NSON said, that in a case of so much importance, in ' which tradespeople had been defrauded to such an extent, he should receive none but unexceptionable bail. Scales and Brown then, being rejected, withdrew. A man nettled Willson was examined before ALL EN, Esq., on a Charge - of eteafing a eandderable quantity of plate, the pro perty of David Latonehe, Esq. The prisoner had lived for some years in his 'service as butler, but was discharged iii September last. Shortly after his dismissal, Mr. Letouche t»isned the plate iu question, and in December the pri soner sent hint the duplicates, and also a letter, expressing his con trition and begging forgiveness ; Mr. Latouche, however, consider ing that the offendtx deserved punishment, caused bias to be appre hended ; and Mr. A r.t.ry fully committed him to take his trial for the felony. Many of the inhabitants of Lambeth, the New Cut, and the ad jacent neighbourhood, having complained to the Bench of the in attention of the publicans, green-groan; and other shopkeepers, in not confomsing to the strict obnervanee of the Sabath, during divine worship, orders were issued to Mr. Hall the head constable, to di. Teat his officers to summon s all persons who should be foundoffend ing in this particular, and, in consequenca of such directions, much time was, on efatiirday and for several preceding days, occupied in hearing eases. Upwards of one hundred publicans, butchers, and petty shopkeepers, have already paid the usual penalties attendant on a violation of the law in this respect ; and the Magistrates have expressed a determination to convict all °fenders that are b r o ug h t Wore them, when the complaint is satisfactorily made out.

The mu*ler on li'haildon Chase remains involved in min e , * much as when the deed was originally discovered. Wh en t ,! , haler of Thomas Mangan to the keeper of Aylesbury ga o l . an . ,solacing that his lost brother had been discovered at Cheltenhio; atis ossinunicated to Lynn, he was writing to one of Meant. Bur. nett's clerks, disclaiming any participation in the disappararee Daniel Mangan. This communication. therefore, aff or d e d him great relief, wbich)ie acknowledged. lie has been gradually h e coming more composed, but has not evinced a disouition to con fess his motive for the murder. Saturday last, Dr. IVillis came to Aylesbury, to ascertain the mental sanity of Lynn. By anemia of one of the Magistrates, the Doctor obtained two interviews with the prisoner, and remained aith him an hoar each time. D em , Willis's opinion of the case, of course, did not transpi re . y.h vise, we understand, was undertaken at the instacce oldie p r , miner's friends. Lynn himself was not aware of the object of th e interviews, or of the character of his visitor. A correspondent says.—" Since the committal of this atreious murder, nothing has been confessed on the part o' the pri Charles Lynn, nor has anything tnimpired in other quarters tier. plain the mystery which attended it. (In Saturday last, Ilk E Duval received &letter from the unfortunate man, written in a swat affecting manner. The unfortunate man requested that 'h eld will condole with his family, and to tell his mother to endeavour to forget she has a son. and that his sisters have a brother. In &m ter part he says--" Oh Ned, little did I think, when we were sperielnE the New Year's night, that that would be the last time we shield be together. I never did think there was a devil, but now In n sure there is one." lie says he attends the chapel every day, and twice on a Sunday; speaks in the highest terms of t h e kindness that is shown him by 3lr. Sherriff; the humane Gover roe of the gaol, and the Rev. Mr. Ashfield, the Chaplain, via is almost constantly with him." UNIVARSITY INTELLIGENCE. &trout,. JAN.?!
