I went down stahs to look for the hone, and afterwards found it in isseesion of a horse-dealer, Mimed Fry. resident at South 3entikon. South Moulton is 26 miles from Exeter, and is in•a different direction from the Boniton road. I am cert tin the home I found at Mt. Fry's is the same which was let to prisoner by my father.

She remained offer I went away to look for the horse, Re-examinett—'rozer, William Lee, the prisoner, and I. all re. turned togethet to Exeter. When I returned to the George I found the prisoner gone, and Tozer shortly after retook him. There was no constable. I did not recoinmend prisoner to go away, Pei/enter , went away on the Tiverton road. I was absent from the George about a quarter of an hour, and in the interval prisoner had guile. I saw him again in about an hour and a half in custody of Tozer, who eaMe to South Moulton, after I had gone to 31r. Fry's. Tozer overtook anti brought him back to South Moulton.

He asked whether I thought the horse worth LW. ; I said not, and hid him seven guineas, which he agreed to take. I had first seen the horse, and observed its knees were broken. This was on Saturday; next morning Mr. Slugtbal came and claimed the horse as his, and 1 delivered it to him. It was the, tame as I bought from the pawner.

John Tozer—l am a horse dealer ; when I arrived at South Moulton, on Sunday, the Ist of May. I found the prisoner had gore away, and in consequence of some information I received, I borrowed a fresh horse and pursued him. When I had ridden two miles on the Bristol road, I found prisoner in a little house on- the road side. Ile was sitting by the fire place, between three or four men. I told hint I wished ft: !Meal( with him ; he rose, and I took him into another room, and brought him back to South Steelton in my custody.

I g„tre the prisoner a glass of liquor on the road to Exeter. and we fee: our horses together. I was told the prisoner had gone the Bristol read by coach, but I found him on foot. This was the case for the prosecution. The prisoner being called upon for his defence, at first declined saying anything, but afterwards stated. that he had had every opportunity afforded him to escape on the road from South Aloulton to Exeter, and dras only prevented from attempting to do no by the repeated promises of Tozer and Mugford, the latter of whom told him it was not his inclination to prosecute, and that the matter should be accommodated, it' he (prisoner) wrote to his friends and made an arrangement to refund the price of the home. Mugford and he drank much upon the road, and remained behind, partly in consequence of being intoxicated, and prisoner was left alone in the company of Tozer, who prevailed upon him by promises of not proceeding farther in the matter to make no at tempt to escape. Mr. Justice GAST:LEE charged the Jury, and in doing so called upon them to dismiss from their recollection every circumstance connected with the prisoner, which might have occurred in the course of the proceedings had upon the occasion of his farmer trial. The present ease was to be decided on solely with a view to the facts now developed in evidence, and they were not to carry back their minds to any previous proceedings, or mix up the his. tory of the transaction with that orally preceding one, of which they might be cognisant. The prisoner at the bar was placed before the Jury on an indictment which charged him with having fele. nionaly stolen a hone, the property of Slr. Megford, a resident In this city, and in considering and determining how far the piscine: Was, or was not, guilty of the offenceattributed to him, they should pay strict attention to the intention of the prisoner at the time pfl hiring the horse. It was neceseary , before they could find him' . guilty of the felonious intent, that the Jury should be satisfied that the prisoner, at the time when he procured 3lr. Mugford's horse and rode off on it towarthethe Crediton-road, contemplated thecom miseion of the crime afterwards alleged to have been carried into effect. If he entertained nosuch intention in the first instance, and yet at a subsequent period, unmindful of the trust reposed in him, had converted the animal to his own use and absconded with it, then, although the prisoner had committed a very serious breach of confidence, he could not be considered guilty of the felony ire. petal to him. The Jury would consider this point, and reflect upon the distinction to be taken between the felony and a simple breach of trust. The Jury would have to consider the intention of the prisoner at the period of hiring the horse, and whether he then pro. determined or subsequently adopted the idea of illegally converting the animal to his own use. In the former Case, as he had stated, It would be a capital felony ; but in the latter, only a simple breach of contract. With regard to what the prisoner tad relied upon in the course of his defence, namely—that the younger Mug. foal had held omit promises of not proceeding against him, and led him to entertain hopes of escaping the consequences of a prose. cution, it did not amount to much, because the horse wan the property of his father, and he had no right or authority to enter Into any compromise, even if it were competent for him legally to to do, which it was not, as the Jury knew there were serious penal ties attendant upon any attempt to compound a felony. The Jury would also recollect this statement rested upon the unsupported de. claration of the prisoner. The Jury shortly deliberated and returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner, who had regarded the Jury during their consults. tion with the moat intense anxiety, seemed entirely deprived of self control when the verdict was given, and cast himself forward on the front of the bar in the greatest agony. Mr. Justice GAR E LEE then proceeded to pass sentence upon the prisoner in the following manner :—llenry Percival, you have been convicted on the cleareet evidence of an offence of a most serious I nature, and which has of late become one of such frequent oecur- renee, that it has been thought necessary to make examples of the unhappy persons found guilty of it, and carry Into effect the ex. j heme sentence of the law, which has been for some years permitted ' to fall into disuse. This is the situation in which you are now un. happily placed, and although it grieves me much to see at the bar a person like you, so much distinguished ,by appearance and educa tion, from the unfortunate persona who generally stand in X similar tituation before the Court, yet I cannot see any reason to convince me I should exercise a sound discretion in the discharge of my duty, did I forbear passing the sentence by law provided against persona convicted of the offence of which 11l Jury have, by their verdict, found you guilty. You have produced no witness to beer testi. peony to your former good conduet, if that were possible, and you do not appear to have been driven to the commiesion of the offence by the pressure of urgent want or distress. It is hot my wish to refer to the previous proceedings of the morning. or to recur to the circumstances that transpired in the course of your former trial (the offence with which you were then charged not being legally proved, perhaps through the acci. dental absence of a material witness) : but 1 cannot avoid sayiag that those circumstances are not of a nature calculated to createany favourable impression in your behalf. However. you are now to receive‘entence for the offence proved against you, and of course, in passing that sentence, I cannot permit my mind to be influenced by any former accusation. Unless you have it in your power to ad. vance such satisfactory evidence AS will convince my mind justice may yet be satisfied by a remission of the capital punishment, and the substitution of an alleviated sentence, 1 cannot flatter you with the expectation of a mitigation of the punishment consequent upon the award of the Court. If any such circumstance in extenuation of your offence should exist, it wili afford me great pleasure to be enabled to lay them before the proper authority, which I will add is always most Featly to pay attention to well.founded re presentations of that nature. I repeat, I shall transmit them to his most grac:ous Majesty, the delight of whose heart is to make his reign a reign of clemency and mercy, as far as those are con. 'Went with the general safety and well-being of his people. and , the due protection of their mutual interests. But if that is not the ease, and you should not have it in sour power to adduce the Circumstances in mitigation to which "I have alluded, 1 cannot , /latter you with any hope or expectation of mercy ; and it becomes my duty to advise you to prepare yourself for the execution of the sentence I am now about to pronounce. Being aware of the un happy nature of your situation, it is far from my intention to tinges. ewe it by any unnecessary remarks. I would merely entreat you to make the best use of the necessarily short period for prepam. j tion that is likely to be allowed. You will receive every requisite attention, and be attended by persons who will endeavour to you for the great change It is extremely probable you will endergn; and I sincerely trust these efforts, added to your Quay, may be sufficient to procure for you that mercy in the other world shich yqu can scarcely expect to be extended to you in this. It now only remains to pronounce the extreme sentence of the law; which is-.that you. IlenrY Percival, be taken hence to the.y!pce frotfioylepcn jou case, and front that to a piaci of exact tion, to be thaws* appointed, end there be hangzti by the neck; till you are dead — wed may the Lord have mercy on your solli." During the time the Court was employed in pronouncing sen tence, the prisoner, who had cart himself forward on the front pa rt lof the bar, with his face butied in hi. handkerchief, appeared to be affected with strong convulsions, and sobbed audibly. At the conclusion he remained motionless. and fixed in the sante position for several seconds, as it unable to stir from the arm, and on the ; gaoler and turnkey attempting to rouse and remove him, fell WM6 ling in their arms. ---- • OXFORD CIRCUIT. SHROPSHIRE ASSIZES, JULY 28. These Assizes commenced this day before Mr. Justice BUR ROUGH on the Crown side. and Air. Baron GABILONV at Nisi Pella. The calendar contained the names of seventeen prisoners, and twenty civil causes were entered for trial, of which three are to be tried by Special Juries. CIVIL Si DE. Before Mr Baron Ganaew. WARRANTY OF A MORSE. 110MERAY V. VOrNTNEY. Mr. CADireF LI. mated, that this was WI action on the warranty 'of a hone. The defendant sold the horse to the plaintiff, and warranted -him quiet in shafts, and tit to draw a one t horse cart ; however, he should prove that so far trom being 1.0 that the defendant himself said that the horse was the I" most wild random devil he hail ever met with." The plaintiff roan the son of oat of the Magistrates of the county or Worcester. and the defendant was what was called a horae-joblser, and sold the plaintiff the bone, with this warranty, and no sooner did the plaintiff put the horse into harness than lie began kicking most violently, anti had nearly killed one or two persons who were near at the time of the experiment. The plaintiffoffered to return the horse. lint the defendant said, .' Why, I told you the horse was the very devil, and you would huy hint ; and as you would do so. you took your horse as you take your site, for better for worse." (A laugh.) Lawrence Domfray, the cousin of the plaintiff, said, that he saw the defendant, who recommended hint to buy the horse, for it was a strong and free one, and very quiet in the shafts. The witness told this to the plaintiff, who went for the purpose of looking at the horse, and when lie did so. the plaintiff asked if he had sold the horse, as he had come to look at him. The defendant said he had not, and they went to see the hone. The plaintiff' said he would like to buy the horse. and tisked if he was quiet in shafts. The de fendant staid it was A EVIVMS tihnfter. and that his reason for parting with him was, that it was a free worker. The defendant offered to put the horse in harness, but the plaintiff said he would take the defendant's word for the Italia being quiet. The plaintiff' then bought .hint at 171. and took fiat away. On the 3d of June the hone was returned, the plaintiff' telling the defendant that the horse was of no use to him, for he could not get him into harness at all; to which the defendant replied, " Why I told you of all his faults. I said he was a wild random devil, and no one could manage him, for he run away with my cart, turned it over, and very nearly kicked it to pieces, and you know that I recommended you not to buy him." And turning to the witness added, " Did not I say so ?" but that he (witness) re- plied, " you said no such thing," which was the fact. Cross-examined by 31r. TAUNTON—I situ not much used to horses. I sow the defendant's housekeeper, and two men and some women, washing at the time of the deal. The defendant said the horse was hasty' with lads, but he did not say anything about mad.hrained or kicking, and never said that lie could not recom mend the horse, nor that he was to be taken with all faults. The plaintiff said if he could get the horse for anything tinder sixteen guineas, he would give Inc a guinea. I certainly did ask the de fendant to return as. out of the 171., and if he would do so I would give him as. of it, as that would reduce the price to under sixteen guineas, and I should get the guinea I was promised. Ile-examined—The persons whom I have mentioned as present were not in the same room with us. . _ . . . . . Joseph Wilcox proved that the defendant had previously recom mended the horse to him as one of the best lie ever had for labo• rious work, but would not do for the plough, as being a free worker he might run over the other horses, and lame them ; but the reason the witness stated why lie would not have the horse was, that he found outthat the horse was a notorious kicker; and on his saying to the defendant that he did not want to be lamed, the defendant said he was glad of it, as he should sell the horse fur more money. Joseph Dail, waggoner of the plaintiff. proved that he attempted to put the horse into a cart, but that he kicked so violently before getting near the shafts, that the witness was obliged to desist, as Wr never saw such an animal in his life. Tats si TON objected that this evidence did not support the d e e Aration, which stated that the.warranty was that the horse wo w!, work well in a one-horse cart. nRIOTI GARROW said he was extremely sorry to turn a phintih'round on such an objection in point of form, hut he was bound to do an; for the plaintiff had charged that the injury arose to him fetat,r . the defendant falsely warranting this horse to be a horse lit to o. •w a one-horse cart. Now, it was proved that in the warranty nothi,:e Was said of any ant at all. His Lordship then directed the to be nonsutted. Oa the Crown side. nothing of interest occurred. ... LA V INTRIZIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, FAIDAt, JuLr WARD 0: 7 THE COURT. Mr. AGAR stated that this was a case which required the imme diate interference, of the Court. The circumstance* were these : a young lady a minor, (whose name did not transpire), who might ; be considered a ward of the Court, had eloped with a young gentle man to Gretna-green. and had been tl•ere married. A petition had been presented to the Master of the Rolls, for the appointment of guardians to the young lady's person and estate, and her mother and another person had been appMated. The mother died some short time since, and the yciing lady, as he had stated, had eloped and married. On the return of the pat sies front Scotland the guardian asked them for a certificate of the TV.lll'iage• which, how ever, they had not got. They then sought to har: bans Publisbod . in their parish church, which. however, the guardiat. thought it his duty to prohibit. And he now brought the care bcfb. - e the Court, rot with any hostile intention, but merely for its interferfnm He i (Mr. Agar) had looked into sundry cases, but Elie found M. via that bore exactly on the case in point. Those nearest to it were mat of Lord Shaftesbury, and that of Lord Raymond, the latter case rt., ported in :)11 Forester. In this case, Lord Talbot decided that the Court had power to interfere, but then a bill hail been tiled the day before the petition was presented, which was not the case in the present instance. The LORD C l lAwctLT.o n—",lv doubt is. whether it would not be better now to file a bill. I fear if a marriage at Oretna-green be good, and I believe it is as good as a marriage can be, our pre sent object is to take care of the property. Mr. A omt—The property, my Lord, is not much. I believe it is about 3001. in money, and an estate of 2001. a year. The Loon CIIA NC I.Lott—The guardian has acted properly in bringing.the Matter here, and he had better file a bill to take care of the property. Mr. lIF.ALD—My Lord, I appear on behalf of the young man who has married the young lady. lie is most desirous that the. property shall be settled upon herself, and is ready to do all in his I power to further the views of the Court. The Loan CHANCELLOR—I think the Court had better direct another marriage to take place. No doubt the marriage at Gretna green is a good marriage, but then there is often great difficulty in proving that it hat. taken place. Mr. HEATH—Then when the guardian has arranged for the protection of the property, the publication of the bans had better go on. Mr. AGAR—The guardian is not certain that the marriage has taken place, as he has seen no certificate. . Mr. HEATH—Then there is btill a stronger reason why the bans should be published. It can do the lady no good to be un married. The Loin) CHANCELLOR—If this is done, the proof of the marriage will be undoubtedly more easy. Those marriages at Uretna•green are often !main:tied by persons who have no right to perform them ; but they are still held to be good marriages. I will see if Lord Talbot has made any note of the case of Lord Raymond, in his manuscript notes, which I have at home, and I rill let you know to-morrow. MELLISH V. MELLISH. This case, which which has been so often before the public, was again argued. The LORD CHANCELLOM advised its being referred, and said he should regret if this course were rot adopted, and he should be obliged to deliver his judgment. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, FRIDAY, Jutr 29. WELSTEAD r. SIMMS. Mr. SUDDEN, for the plaintiff; moved the Court to restrain the defendant from collecting certain monies due front the East India Company. as balance of freight on the ship Oeneral Harris, and also to call upon him to pay into Court 8,0001. which he had already received on that account. The bill was filed by the plaintiff, who was captain of the ship in qiiestion, and owner of six sixteenths, against the defendant, who now possesses the remainder of the shares, as he had bought them up of the former part owners. The ship was chartered by the East India Company. for six voyages. On the two first voyages the owners received dividends, after which the defendant became managing owner; he had never made a dividend, and had refused to settle the accounts. Now, the affi davit of the plaintiff completely explained the reasons of the de fendant's conduct. The defendant was partner in a firm which sup lied the ship with cordage, which, besides being exceedingly high ' in price, was also excessively bad. The defendant had besides sup plied the ship with flour , sails, &c. and had paid the suppliers with cordage front his own stores. He had, during the time of his management, received upwards of 200.0001. for freight. and had not accounted for a single penny. Now his client calculated that he had lost;10.000/. merely as the interest of his shares. The' Learned Ctionstleatered into further particulars of the extravagance' oldie defendant, and of his refusal to make out his accounts. He' then asked what could the defendant say in answer to this? All': that Ale said was, that it was usual for part owners of ships to supply them with what they wanted for the voyage, and that so far from having any dividend to make when the amounts were ) made up he had no doubt that there would be a balance due to him. Now, observed the Learned Cont. this would be a good answer, if the defendant himself had not been the managing owner as well as the supplier of the articles, and with regard to there not being money to divide, he must deny it, for at the end of the fifth voyage, after allowing for all manner of charges, there was a balance of' 40011/. on hand. and yet the defendant refused then to make a dividend, en the pretence that it would be wanted for the: next voyage. Cookies all this, the defendant had by some ma niteutre obtained possession of was 11,000/. sine the notice of mks , Lion, being the half of a sum due from the East • Witt Comm y Under these circumstances he hoped his lloncur would gra:t; tt motion. . The Nricx-CsrawcELLoi said he did not exactly understsnd the principle on which the motion was made. The defendant was managing owner, and in that character entitled to receive the ta. lance of freight. The object of the motion was to restrain thc.z rights - as tnanufing owners; now, foe this purpose, it must be out that a can. derable portion of that balance was due to the tiff, and that being due, that it would be lost to him by urda.- means when a settlement of the accounts took place. He krew no other prircple on which he could grant that motion, and as did not think that it had beeu so made out, he could not ?chest them in thiirway. Mr. SUODEN admitted the force of what had dropped from his Horeur. The Vicx-CaiscEts.on thought he could send it to the Master as a matter of account between the parties. Mr. HEALD, for the e• iendant, said, that he had no objection whatever, for that it was for the interest of all parties to lt..se th,tt. settled as speedily as possible. Mr. IfoRNE, in order to remove any bad imprc ssiol from the mind of the Court, in consequence of what they had heard, begger. to state that no dealings that had taken place with this thin h,,d been the least irregular, nor had the 800th. been obtaintd by ar ! ` manceuvre, but in the usual way. After some conversation between the Learned Counsel, it itai finally ordered, by consent of the parties, that a decree should tit , taken to have the accounts settled before the Master. MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, Fainar, JULY 29. The supplies this week consist of 3,830 sacks Flour, 4,470 qua-. tern Wheat, 1.930 quarters Barley, and 10,170 quarters Oats.
