Before Mr. Baron Ili: 'Amex. LIBEL. WHEATLEY V. GIBBON AWD OTHERS. '• That was an action brought by the plaintiff, an attorney residing .at Whitehaven. against the defendants, the printer and proprietor of a newspaper called the rtmberiGrui Parquet, to recover comren lotion in damages tor an injury done to his character, by the pub lira:ace of two separate libels in that paper, on the 29th of March and the 6th of April last. • The defendants pleaded they were not guilty. and upon that plea inne was joined. Mr. Bnounnam stated the Ott for the plaintiff; who was a young man, an attorney of considerable talent and education, who *ought by this action to seek reparation in damages for gross libels -wrAttem against his character by the defendants. The plaintiff was via son of a clergyman. and beirg also an attorney, it was of the ettmost crinsequorce to him that his eh:outer for veracity and trite petty should be unimpeachable and unimpesched. Without such a character en attorney or solicitor would be nothing. The oldest man 4n that branch of the profession could not stand up agaii.st an at -tick like that made against his young client, and it was of the ut most importance to him that no time should be lost in meeting the chute wh;ch was PO unfoundedly and maliciously matte against biro. In short, his suret-Fs in life depended upon it. The defend ant* in this were the printer and the proprietor of a newspaper called the Cinnabar:dad Parquet, which Ise recollected to be vet) , inoffen wive, and very dull WO great many years—although of later times, 'though not ceasing to be dull, it became quite offensive. The snotty of the paper, praistrig temperance, would not avail the do tendon*, in this action ; on the contrary, it would more abundantly grove their malice. The motto was given in one line of dull length ened poetry; but neither hanselinor his Learned Friend were as well eitqatuntai with that subject as Mr. Wordsworth, a gentleman whom be sow saw to Court, and a gentleman who had renferred additional hostre upon the literature of his country--a genii:man whose um ka essid survive us all, when us, and those atter us, were consigned to owe r atan earth. The line comprising the motto was lungur ' than any line he ever rcrmnibered to !tare met, except the line at .he end of • fishing red, and yet, perhaps, it would be , 'ousel, that it had appended to it that which was often found ostweling to such an article. A thou ) to • Newspaper was -like she sign to a public-house, and gave • notice of the cheer to be Lund rhino. The Jury would expect a due degree of eau hart in miens who held out -to the world that cannon and *ern pruner were to be found in their conduct and writings. Bow that was exemplified iu a very difYerent menner be would ~ahonly rate to th.ie ; and he would then leave it to the Jury whether the plaintiff, to whom an unsullied character wait abso eotely necessary, could have allowed the observations of the defend. sou; to pass without retna-k, and, has would add. punishment. The plaintilt was insidiously accused of smuggling practices; and in an account of what took pltee upon the im.seion now in question, the defendants had made a statement which no PM multi doubt to be I libelous the very moment he limed it raid. The first libel was art. Lolly mixed ay with other articles of mere intelligence, which was as follows, aad bare date !larch 29, I tilb : " On Thursday I- st several persons were convie ed at the public 'isiSce in this town, for having smuggled whisky, or rather whisky ‘tiver . .p.roo( Is that posscssion and in their dwelling-h ouses .

This libel contained a One at Itaccanueneement, which the plaintiff would not have naiad, did it not also state that he had been reprimanded by the MlOafs* for rudeness and offensive ness. Yet had the defendsea buiallell'ef their tempetance and caution. No man would eampleik.sa en attorney, an individual who had no discretion—the tied ildatee of which was charged against the plaintiff, rid that Inas charge of which the plaintiff' now complained; and the more 46, as the charge was altogether I false. Indeed so false was It that the defendants would put no justification nn the record: The Magistrates denied drat they Mid any difference with the plaintiff, much more that they had occasion to reprimand him. The jjbel fiirther said, that Mr. Wheatley was rebuffed by the Excise officer ; and what of that ? It was very different to receive • rebuke from such n quarter, or to receive one Imm :a Jodge, or other presiding Magistrates; bat the object in making such a charge must have long since appeared plain and obvious to the Jury. The plaintiff, I.e contended, had only performed his duty by, objecting to questions being put to his diem which might in *se. way tend to criminate him. But the defendants were not satisfied with writing the libel which he lied just opened to the Jury, but they followed it up in their paper of the next week--admitting, in the very first paragraph, that their first charge was false and unfounded. It appeared, as if, asleep or awake, they were inclined to write libels, but in this career it was now high utile they should receive a salutary check. The second letter truss follows : " A paragraph which appeared in one last paper. which was in cidentally introduced, seems to have a great erect upon that worthy gentleman. We stated that he had received " a smart reprimand from the Bench," and he appears to wince at the expression. We confess we had cot the slightest intention of misrepresenting, even in the slightest degree, any thing affecting him. The following is, we believe, a correct statement of what occurred at the Public-office on the ; necasion referred to:—On a question by the Reverend Alexander Scott to Miss Smith, we believe Mr. Wheatley said, 1 consider the question of no impedance, and immaterial whether answered or not. " Mr. Heywood, the 31agistrate's Clerk—Do you, Sir, mean to dictate to the Magistrates ? Whatever questions they may think proper to ask, they have a right to do, without being dictated to. Mr. Wheatley apologised. " After the buntlines had terminated, Mr. Lirtledale, addressing Mr. Wheatley, said the proceedings of this office have on recent occasions been published and name* mentioned ; this is unpleasant to us. and I beg it may not be the practice in future. " The rebuff Mr. II heatley received was from Mr. Paisley; on a question being pat by him, Mr. Paisley said, I am not aware sir, that you have any business to ask me questions, nor will •er any from you. Any question from the Bench, I will immediately. Let the reader fudge for himself, if he . to have said any thing else instead of • reprimand,' We to be understood as withdrawing. the term, and giving a mite blanche to our friends and our enemies, and to fill up the va cancy with what may please them better." Much of what he had read to the Jury was dull and stupid, but yet it was malevolent and false. The defendants cast out imputation* they knew to be unfounded, and for which a Jury of their countrymen were this day called upon to punish them to an exemplary manner. The paragraphs ofshe 301 April not only libelled the plaintiff, but also Mr. Pleywood—for no apology was made, nor was it necessary it should be. Even Mr. lattledale had not escaped. Having therefore read to them the last libel, they would be best able to see how such matters were managed by a polluted portion of the Press. It was conduct like that of the present defendants which often made the benefits of a tree Press a matter of doubt, ' even with those who were usually found amongst its most ardent supporters. He could not too strongly reprobate the conduct exercised by the Press in the cases of private individuals, and that the bad practice set by the metropolis had been imitated in the country. No man was safe from private slander, if he dis pleased, some of those persona who had the command of the public Press—nay, his family—his relations—his whole society, male and female, were attacked. Ile could not but regret such • foul pollution of an useful engine, when well and honestly di. rested, and he could not but regret it the more, as he was ore amongst its foremost rulroutes and supporters. When anonymous slander was printed by the defendants, they must be made an swerable for it. Indeed they were worse than the original writes of the duels!, because they gave to that whirls would but " be born and die," a winged flight--and conveyed the sLander to all man kind, at least so far to all mankind as the circulation of the Cum berland Parquet extended. The plaintiff put it to the defendants to jusdty ; but they placed no justification on the record, because they knew if they had done so, and had afterwards tailed to sup. port it by evidence, that it would influence the damages against them. the only point now left to consider wits the quantum of damages, and he would fearlessly say atilt heavy damages alone tkould satisfy the ends of justice. His client only wished for the teparation of Ilia character, rind not large damages, although the idefendants were able to pay any sum the Jury might award. i The Learned Counsel then called the following witnesses:— Mr. Arms Tong examined—l have with rue an examined copy of the roll of attorneys. I examined it myself, and found diet Mr. George Wheatley, the present plaintiff, was admitted an at- Olney of the Ccurt of King's Bench on the 22d May, 1C22. The certificate of the plaintiff's being an attorney of the superior Courts at Westminster was also put in and read. fide witness also put in e affidavit usually lodged at the Stamp Office, and by which it appeared that the defendants R o b er t Gibbon and John Pelle were printer and proprietor of the Cumberland Parquet. Witness also deposed that the plaintiff practised in the town of Whitehaven as attorney. Cross-examined—l do not know whether the practice of the plaintiff has increased since the appearance of the paragraphs read in Court to-day. I am not the agent of the plaintiff. 1 came from London to be a witness, because I 11113 subptrnaed /so to do. I never heard the plaintiff say he did not care one farthing about this case, provided he obtained a verdict. lie said he only wished to havelhis character re.tnstated. lie did not say he only wanted a farthing damages, as that would tarry cents. William Wordsworth, Esq. (the celebrated poet of the Lakes) ermined—l ant head distributor of stamps in the county of West moreland, and in pert of the county of Cumberland ; and I pro duce the two newspapers of 29:h March and sth April 1825, in which the paragraphs complained of appeared. Cross-examined by Mr. SCARLETT—IVIIeTI a boy I recollect reading the line which terra' the motto to the Cumberland Par quet. it is this—" IVhere moderation dwells, the soul admits.dis met ideas and matured debate; an eye impartial and an even scale—hence wisdom sound and unrepenting choice." When I was at Cambridge 40 years ago, it was printed as four lines, and not as in the newspaper, in one continued line. In cross-examination by Mr. SCARLETT, Mr. Wordsworth said that poetry slid not depend on the length of the line. The libels were here put in and read by the Associate, and Mr. Brougham dosed his ease. Mr. SCARLETT then addressed die Jury for the defendants— His experience, be said, had enabled him to hear many cases of libel stated to s Jury, but he scarcely ever recollected one in which more labour was expended than the present, or, which more re minded him of the Mountain in Labour, which brought forth a Mouse. The paragraphs on which his Learned Friend expended so much industry and eloquencewere as harmless as such paragraphs could be. In teed, he could not help thinking how often Counsel had been attacked in similar paragraphs to those now complained of by the plaintill, and yet no one Counsel had thought it worth his while to bestow urn them the slightest notice. His Learned Friend had annplamed of the polluted part of the Press; but what portion of it, his Learned Friend considered as polluted, he (Mr. Scarlet) could not pretend to divine—unless it wit.' that part of it which differed with Mr. Brougham in his political feelings. He knew not, if his Learned Friend, thought that part of the press to be polluted, which had said, that they had each used the language of " Billingsgate" to the other—al though he could say, that nothing in the least degree bordering on such language, had ever, on any occasion, taken place between them. However, be that as h might, neither of them thonght of bringing an action, as Mr. Wheatley had done, neither would he (Mr. Scarlett) agree with his Learned Friend in calling the press polluted. " Rebuffs and reprimands" had been flung out against i ' him and his Learned Friend; but it appeared that the present, plaintiff wu much more tender of his reputation. titan either him. self tie his Learned Friend, although the plaintiff threw out such a challenge to the defentlanni. His Learned Friend dealt much in the way of commentary upon the " fishing" line, as he was pleased to term it, which was the motto to the defendants' paper ; but be (Me. Starlet) did not read it as one line, but as four lines, replete with melody. Were he had been educated, these lines would be considered as. blank verse, whatever doubt might exist In that University of which his Learned Friend was considered to be the founder. The older poets had used litres of greater length titan that now so much complained of, and yet he had hitherto heard no complaint against them ; but here, in the absence of Mallet slid in the absertn - of libel something foreign, was thought necessary to he introduced in order to make upfor the deli. ciency of ar.y good or real and substantial cause of action against the defendants. His Learned Friend had gone out of his any to make a charge of dulness against this paper—bit surely the greater its dulness, the leas its power of injuring the plaintiff. In fact, ' what had he to complain of ? Was he abused and vilified ? Was his fair name blotted ? his public character assailed ? or his mode afractice questioned ? No such thing—no insinuation against Ids moral or professional character was once made ; the whole ,etsrge against the defendaats was, that they had represented his conduct as rude and officious. How he (Mr. Scarlett) would say. that if such terms were considered to be libellous, no m a n could safely utter the most inoffensive expressions. Could it work any injury to a professional man, to say of him that he was over-anx ious or over-zealous ? Quite the contrary. for his practice would increase in the proportion of his seal and his anxiety. Then what pretence could he set up here for damanes ? What was the injury sustained? Did the plaintiff lose a single client, or did he prove the sale of an extra newspaper containing the alleged libels ? Not a tittle of eilher. anal w.iy not ? for this simple reason, that no honest man could come forward ani swear to either, Both himself and his Learned Friend hnd been abused by the news papers, whenever they thou ; ;;It proper to notice them—and speeches 'had been put into his mouth which he had never uttered—of which be must be ashamed—and if lie had made them In a Court of Justice, he could 'lever again have lifted up his head. Speeches, also, had been attributed to his learned Friend, which he (Mr. Barlett) never heard ; but which he could, nevertheless, take upon himself to say, never had been uttered, 36 the Caurler. and other newspapers, say they had been. He and his Learned Friend had ever been accused of throwing their briefe at tack other, a charge which he thought needed not any other refutation, than that no such occurrence had ever taken place. They were also accused of using angry language towards each other, than which nothing could be more unfoanikll, and vet they brought nu action to vindicate their reputation. He trusted it would be unneceseary t . but here was an attorney who felt so s o re at anything being said of bias, •• that he knew little of th e w or ld"—that he, forsooth must bring his action for a libel. However this action might eel, it would be advantageous to the plaintiff; his name would he trum- petted forth by al I the Papers as an ingenious and skilf u l attorney. timid a Jury say. !Lat it is libellous to say of another, that he h ouldered and Stuffed about? Why in this very Court did - sot counsel and attorneys shoulder and bustle—and was not he (Mr.,' Scarlett) now endeavouring to shoulder and bustle the Jury out of a verdict? It was really ludicrous; it was worse; it was mon rotts to talk of these paragraphs being a libel. The plaintiff al.' leged that he was injured as an Attorney of the Court of King's' Bench.—Where and how ? Ilea he proved the loss of one friend or client ? lias he suffered the loss of • night's sleep ? The Jury had no proof of any such loss; they had no proof that' he suffered the slightest injury whatsoever. It could he no libel upon an attorney to say that he was zealous cr even officious, and if it was said of a naitorney that he knew but little of the world, who expected of him that he should be qualified to act as a courtier or an ambassador? And if his claim for compensation were that he suffered man attorney of the King's Bench, then he (Mr. Scarlett) would fearlessly say, that the Jury could not give him a verdict, for he (the plaintiff) had suffered no such injury. Mr. BROUGHAM—But my client does not act ae his own attor ney, and therefore he will receive no costs. Mr. Scan LETT—Very well, brit I know that branch of the profession better. I know how those matters are regulated ; better say nothing upon that subject. However, to proceed. (Here the Learned Gentleman reed both the alleged libels, and commented upon each paragraph, during which he contained that they con tained nothing of • libellous description.l If an attorney is charged with knowing little of the World, he would have-the more time to pay attention to his clients; and if he were charged with wishing, to makes noise in the world," what better opportunity could a young attorney have than the testimony of Air. Brougham, that he was an active, informed, and well-educated nian ? Under all these circumstances, he trusted that the defendants would obtain aver. ' diet, notwithstanding the delusion attempted to be practised on the Jury by his Learned Friend. Air.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, previous to the sitting of the Court, was occupied in his private room hearing Counsel in the case of the Rev. Edward Frank ; but none of the proceodings transpired. Soon after his Lontship came into Court. an elderly person Odle name of Townsend, whet had been sitting among the solicitors, addressed his Lordship, w h o observed that he could not now give the Speaker a hearing. Mr. Townsend said that his ease was Avery hard one. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that when ,the business of the Court had terminated, be would willingly sit for a month to gether, but he could not puffer the sittings of Court to be inter rupted. If AI r. Townsend would not undertake not to disturb the commission of bankroptc issued against him, his Lordship could not grant his prayer to call people to an account nif the commis sion were gond. Mr. Townsend said that his Lordship had himself frequently expressed his doubts whether the commission was good. The Loan CHANCEL Loa replied that his doubts had nothing to do with the matter. if a person would rot submit to a eonimis sins, he had no right to call upon the Court to make an order upon the assignees, or any one else, because it would be only throwing time away. If Mr. Townsend could Bud any single gentleman who knew what was just and right in point of law, who did not feel as he (the Lord Chancellor) felt, he would give up his opinion at once. Ile had not given a judgment on the forr:er petition, be cause he could not, at the instance of a gentleman who disputed a commission, treat the persons acting under that commission as if it were not disputed. If he were wrong in so doing, he should feel Wised to any gentleman at the bar to inform him that be had not stated the universal doctrine of the Court. Mr. Townsend wished ajeas e ' toj;before a Jury. The Lowy CriaNcELLo*--Then why don't you bring your action ? 11r. Townsend said he had not the power of bringing an action, as he was as poor and miserable as he could possibly be. His Lordship, be added, had been twenty years in doubt whether this was or was not a legal bankruptcy. The LORD CHANCELLOR—If you had followed advice instead of pursuing your own course, this woold not base been the case. Mr. Townsend—l cannot follow the advice of any man who calls upon me to acknowledge myself a villain. IN THE MATTER OF LUCAS. AN ALLEGED LUNATIC. The Loon CHANCELLOR said that he bad communicated with Sir George Tuthill respecting the case of this alleged lunatic, and he was quite satisfied that there were no grounds upon which to call upon him to grsnt a commission of lunacy. He had learnt from Sir George Tuthill that this person was extremely happy, that he was treated with the utmost possible kindness; and as he (the Lord Chancellor) conceived that all cases of lunacy inquiries had reference not only to the soundness or unsoundness of mind of the person refe:red it., but also to the fact of expediency as re garded his happiness, he WA{ of opinion, that, at present at least, there was no occasion for a commission of lunacy. lilt. HORNE—Does not your Lordship think the petition should be dismissed with Coats? The LORD CliAxcxr.t.on—No, Mr. Home. All I mean to say is, that at present I do not consider myself called upon to issue a commission, and I certainly shall not give the costs. X X-PART E CORNETT. IR TUX NATTER OF RIR GREGORY PAGI: TURNER. In the matter of Sir Gregory Page Turner, a lunatic, his Lord ship observed that he had read all the papers, and whatever might be his strict rotions of propriety or impropriety. he did not see how it was possible to refuse access to any individual whom Sir Gregory wished to see, with a view to determine how he was to proceed with this traverse. lie would therefore direct that Air. Corbett should be permitted to see Sir Gregory Page Turner, and to inform the Court within a fortnight after the interview, whether or not he would undertake to prosecute this traverse. MASSES: v. BENIIALL. This was a motion for an injunction to restrain the defendant I from selling, charging, incunibering, or conveying a certain advow son to any other person than the plaintiff. Mr. Nonce; stated that the plaintiff; Miss Emma Massey. was a young lady who was at the present time &minor. Under the will of her mother, who died in HMG, she was entitled to a sum of three thousand five hundred pounds, part of which was outstand. ing upon the mortgage of real property. Through the medium of her sister she became acquainted with the defendant, who is a tier. gyman : and it appeared that soon after the acquaintance com menced, he applied to her for the loan of a sum of money, to do cinch she sold out a part of her stock. At length, however, it was thought convenient that the aforesaid part of the three thousand' five hundred pounds should be calletl in from the mortgage, and ap. plied tot the young lady's benefit, and this gentleman advised her, as the best thing she could do with it, to lay it out in the purchase of an 'avow - eon. Accordingly, when the money was called in, it was placed in the hands of' the Reverend Gentlemen by and with the consent of the young lady, to be so laid out, it being agreed thar the conveyance was to be made by the lady's solicitor. It ap. peered that the gentleman had laid out a part of the money in the lirchase of an acroweon, but that he had not employed the young ady's solicitor, and had taken the conveyance of the advowson to himself; he had also obtained a lease from the present incumbent, and was now in quiet posses'sion of the living. The young lady then became alarmed at having taken the advice of the Reverend Gentleman, and went to him . to ascertain how the matter c'ood. Ile admitted that the conveyance ought to have been taken in the name of the young lady, and stated that the conveyance had I been made to himself by mistake, but nn being pressed to give up the deeds, he hesitated. The solicitor of the young lady then went to him, upon which he seemed anxious to make acondition that they should present him to the next avoidance. These facts were supported by the affidavit of the young lady and 1 a clergyman of the name of Horsy. Upon the bill being filed, the Reverend Gentleman had some idea of going abroad, for Ina letter written by him lie expressed himself to the effect that " he regretted being obliged to give up fur a time the idea of going abroad ; If he disposed of the living, tt would still be his only alternative." The LORD CluticELLoa—Take the order. VICE-CHANCLELOWS COURT, TIIVIMJAT, Ave. H. ITI/NE V. THE ASSIGNEE. OF MARSH, STRACEY AND CO. Mr. HORNE was pert heard in thin case on a forma day; but it was then postponed, in order that the account-books of the banking-house might be produced. The question brought before the Court was whether any anti what sums of money had been paid into the banking-I:cruse by the late Mr. Faun Leroy on cc. count of the Trustees pfSoluzag Belliso.he money h av i ng b een count to the former gentremaz Toe that purpose. hit. Horne was now heard for the trustees, and =tended that the money had been so paid in. Mr. MONTAGU, for the assignees, argued on the other side. His HONOUR, after having looked over the books attentively, id, that he had ct v tin endeavoured to trace su ch entries in the sash and receiving day books; and he much doubted, from what ha saw, whether he should be able to recognize such entries, were Iteey even pointed out to him. Mr. MONTAGU Said he would undertake to affirm, that the entries had been made in such a manner by Mr. Fauntleroy, that it would be impoalible for the most acute accountant to unravel them. After some further discussion, His flowoun directed the ease to be sent to a Jury, before whom the issue should he tried, whether any, and wlipt sums, had been paid into Alte hanking.house of Marsh, Stracey, and Co., on account of the trustees of (:olonel Ilellis.

I'luminer.street, City road, was suddenly seittll with a lit of madness, which excited the greatest terror is his neigh. boorhood. Ile salUed forth from his dwelling, armed with s knife in each hand, exclaiming that he would "kill his mistress" (the wife of Mr. Nelson, a shoemaker, his employer), and pursuing and threntening several of his neighbours. Being at length much 1 irritated at somet'ung said by ore of those persons, an Irishman. lie dropped' the knives and made a rush at the man, when several men profidart by the opportunity thus afforded, seized him, and 1 with much difficulty conveyed Win into a house, wher e ho wirer. fectually secured without having actually injured any person, although he made made several attempts with the knives. • In the evening he was taken by two keepsrs.to a lunatic uyluin, at Roy. ton, where be bas since remained without any abate:mote his dreadful malady. It appears that the unfortunate man, who ia bray 23 years of age, and has several children. was much ip the habit of bathing during the hot weather, sad it is supposed that his having done so while in a Who( perspiration, has affected the brain, and cOnsioncd his present distrusting situation,. MAirstow noun, Atm. 11—Thrze men, named Barnet, Copez, and Ward, were brought before the Loan MAYOR. charg. ed with having stolen a valuable clock out of the shop of Mr. Wat son, clock-maker, of King-street, Cheapside. A man named Kingsbury, swore that he saw Ward and Copez 'standing in the neighbourhood of King's-street. That. Ward went into King-street, and soon returned, carrying with him a clock covered with a handkerchief. This clock he put into the hands of Barnet, who was then standing with Cope; and the three went towards the Illinories. The witness, who was convinced they were thieves, anti had stolen the clock, ran oil to the Mansion House for an officer. The three prisoners said they could prove that they were in dif- : ferent puts of the country at the time the robbery was said to have been committed. The three prisoners were then fully committed. GUILDHALL, AUGUST IL—Henry 11 7 aMurk, 11 7 m. Turner, and Richard Chtyton ' journeymen hat.tuanufacturers , were brought up before Mr. A lderman Cox, in the custody of Charles Herdsfield, the officer, on suspicion of felony. From the evidence it appeared that Mr. Constable, a hat.manu. facturer at Cambridge, suspected that two men in his employ had been robbing him fur a considerable time past, and his suspicions were greatly inamsd by their suddenly absconding from his see. vice towards the latter end of last week. Learning that a box bad been sent by the wagon to London, by two men answering the description of the runaways, he wrote immediately to his brother. In-law, a victualler, in Cross-street, Finsbury, desiring him to have the box, on its arrival, searched, and if it should be found to con. taro property such as was likely to have been stolen front his ma. nufutory. to detain it, as well as any persons who should apply to have it delivered to them. This letter arrived In sufficient time to give opportunity for acquaintMg Mr. Deacon, the proprietor of the White Horse Inn, Cripplegate, where the Cambridge wagon puts up, with the circumstances, before its arrival in London. As soon as the wagon arrived, the prisoner Walduck presented himself to claim the box; but as there had not been time to exa mine its.contenta, he was told there must be some mistake, as it had not come by the wagon, but would no doubt arrive in the van the next morning. Walducic was there again the next morning to inquire for the box, when Mr. Deacon and Iferdstield, who had been in waiting from an early hour, questioned him as to his title to the box ; it being directed to •'• James Turner—to be called for." Walduck replied, his name was Turner. Being asked if he bad the key of it. he said he had not; but he could state what were Its coments—untinished hats and rabbit fur; which was the fact. From this sort of questioning Walduck beim to be alarmed, and now changed Ilia story. His name, he said, was lien* Wal duck, of Playltou■e-yard, Whitecross-street ; that he knew notilng about the hox or its contents ; but that two men who had formerly worked in the same shop with him, had called at his house sod asked him to fetch it for them. He professed, however, not to know their names or where they lived. Herdsfield, however, played his part so well, and worked so completely on the fellow's fears for his own safety, as to induce him to take him to a public-house in the neighbourhood, where he pointed out Turner and Clayton, who were smoking their pipes in the tap-room, as his employers. They at first affected to deny all knowledge of IVA'duck or of each other; Ilerdsfield, however, immediately proceeded to search them, and on Clayton found the key of the box and a duplicate of an article pledged at Cambridge. On Turner he found a sample of the rabbit fur, which formed part of the contents of the box ; the value of the whole of which was estimated at about 251. Under these circumstances, the Alderman had little doubt that Turner and Clayton were Mr. Constable's runaway journeymen ; and, accordingly, remanded the three prisoners until that gentle man shall arrive from Cambridge to follow up the proceedings. HORSE STEALING. HAT TON GARDEN OFF IC E.—Charies Stirling, a young man most fashionably attired, and whose connexions are highly respect able, was brought up before ALAN S. Lamm, Esq.for re-examina tion, on a charge of horse stealing. Mr. HARMER appeared on the prisoner's behalf. Mr. Henry Martin, riding -master of Bidborough-street, Burton . crescent, stated that some time back the prisoner's sister was learn ing to ride at hie academy, and the prisoner also took some lessons l in horsemanship. By this means a casual acquaintance was founded. On the 14th of July, in the evening. the prisoner called and salted for a home on hire to go as far as Poplar,promising to re. turn the same night. From the previous intimacy that existed, no security was demanded of him, and he was givens grey gelding, for which he paid lls. 6d. hire, and rode away. He did not return agreeable to promise, and he (the complainant) could get no tidings whatever, either of hint or the !terse, until a few days bark that he received an anonymous letter through the post office, intimating that the horse had been sold down the country, and entreating him (Mr. Martin,) to take no notice of it for a short time. and that he should be reimbursed to the full value of the home. This letter bore the Kentish-town post-mark, and he was induced to ride out there, as he remembered the young man's name, though entirely ignorant of his residence. At Kentish Town he made inquiry of Mr. Wilson, the post master, if he knew any family of the name of Stirling? Mc. Wilson, on consideration, said that there was a fa. roily of that name, and they lived at No. 47, Park-place. lie went accordingly to Park-place, and he there saw Miss Stirling, his for mer pupil. He told her the business on which he came, and asked to see her mother. The young lady fainted away, and at the instant the prisoner came down stairs. Complainant said, " Sir, are not you the person who hired a horse from me in July, which horse has not been returned ?" The prisoner seemed much agitated, and at length replied, " Yes, Mr. Martin, I am that unfortunate young man." Complainant then asked him what he had done with it, and Stirling replied that he had sold it to Mr. Thumbwell, a coach proprietor at Windsor. Complainant said that it was • very awkward and unhandsome piece of business, and that he would not suffer himself to be robbed with impunity; was it possible any reparation could be made? The prisoner said that at a future time he would be in possession of money, and should pay for the home honourably, but could not specify any particular time for doing so. This sort of pledge not appearing by any means satisfactory, he (Mr. M.) observed that he should let j astice take its course, and gave him into the custody of an officer. Mr. Thumbwell, coach-proprietor, of Vi indsor, said, that the prisoner was at the Swan Inn, Windsor, on the Ifrth July, with a grey gelding, which he said was the property of his fither, but being too weak for his father's use, he (prisoner) was empowered to sill it at a fair price; he asked la for it, but he ultimately took 101. for which hegave a stamped receipt. Mr. Thumbwell's hostler provel the payment of the lat. to the prisoner for the horse. The only part of the evidence defective was that of the delivery of tl e horse, by Mr. Martin's son, who has kept out of the way tve• • ince the first examination, and as Hr. Laing has determined mat ibe prisoner's' rank shall not secure him from justice, he has issued a warrant for .his apprehension, backed for three counties, Kent, Essex. and Surrey. The rest of the witnesses were bound over, and the prisoner was committed. He was dressed in a fashionable blue frock coat striped trousers, and military cap, and appeared very little con cerned. Mr. Thomas Shelton, of Frederick street, Gray's Inn-road, ap peared upon a summons, charged by Mr. Henry Ball, a respect ' able young man, with having in his possessions dog, which should be considered a public nuisance. Mr. Ball stated, that on Monday last he was passing the defend. ant's house, when the dog, a liver-coloured terrier, ran out of the. defendant's house, seized him by the calf of the leg, and bit a piece out. lie went immediately to Mr. Reeves, a surgeon, in the same Street, who, on hearing from what house the dog came out, observed, that it was known to be a very irritable and snappish animal, and advised the excision of the wounded flesh, and the ap. lineation of caustic. Mr. Ball complained of the extreme pain 1 which he suffered during the operation and subsequently to it. Mr. Skelton, in defence, stated, that the dog was generally so quiet that his children played with it, and that on the day named, I the dog had accompanied th e c hild ren an d t h e nursery maids, and appeared perfectly quiet. Sergeant SELLOne observed, that an animal might be very docile and lineable among domestics and initiate', and still be very furi ous to atrangera. He conceived it very extraordinary, that after all the public notices dogs should at the present day be left at such liberty. lie conceived there was no public grievance of more seri ous import than the present charge. The uneasiness produced In famites by those accidental bites of animals has frequently led, from the pure effects of fright, to fatal consequences. The worthy Sergeant recommended the defendant to make a suitable camper'. sation to the complainant, to prevent the process of an action. 'I he parties withdrew, and in a few minutes it wasannounced by Edwards, the officer, that matters were amicably arranged. 5 1MILBOROTICOT-STALET, A uo.ll.—rt will be recollected that some weeks agb Dawkins, one of the officers of this ment, while on duty to keep order amongst the carriages attend ( ing a rout at Lord George Cavendish's, at Burlington House, was driven over in the court-yard by the carriage of Lady Lambert, of Manchester-square, and had his leg broken in a dangerous manner, and was otherwise much hurt. James Collins, the coachman of Lady lambert, on that occasion, who was stated to have driven over the offLer In a vs.)) , wanton manner, was at the time taken into custody, and detained until the surgeons of Middle. sex hospital gave it as their opinion that the man's life was no longer in danger, and he was then liberated on bail. From that time, however, to the present, the wounded man has continued in the hospital; and notwithstanding that he has had all the benefits of the best attendance in that establishment, and also the best surgical and other aid besides, by the immediate direction of the family of Lord George Cavendish, who ordered no expense to be spared in effecting a cure, the patient suffered so much bodily injury, independent of the breaking of his leg, which has been for sonic time well, that he died in the hospital yesterday morning. Mr. itoE, the lilsglatrate, immediately on hearing of his death, despatened Clements and Ballard, two officers, to take Collins, the ' coachman, again into custody ; and accordingly he was brought to the office, and again remanded, until a Coroner's Inquest shall be held on the body of the deceased. Dawkins was a man of most excellent character, and a good officer. He had tin upwards of twenty years lived in the Ux bridge family, who held him In the highest estimation as a servant. MARY-LA.BONNR Orrice, AUGUST 11.—James Harris, the man who, it will be remembered, was capitally convicted at Bert. ford for theslesporate burglary and robbery in the house of Mr. Haines, Earl Cowper's steward, and who, on the eve of the day appointed for his execution was respited, and afterwards liberated on the production of the clearest evidence of his innocence, was brought before Mr. !taw, ta meow, charged with a robbery. It appeared (tofu the statement of a sanartly-dressed female, giv ing her name Mary Foster, that she had for some years lived with die prisoner, but from his repeated cruelties towards her she was obliged Whom birn, and took lealwings in Llason-grove. One day when she was from home, he went to the lodgings and carried cff all ttte furniture, which was her own, and for which rubbery shb had /Urn illy brumes there. Barris repeatedly brie :spud taw, sod is his defence said the woman who accused him he had lived with foe years, and by lis a had several children, one of which she then carried in her arms. M. though at times she expressed the utmos fondness for him,_yet at others she descried her home, took up with a man named New, and most unaccountably tried every means to get him hanged. She had well nigh succeeded when he was confined in If ertfued gaol, as she with'aeld the eableuce that would have saved hi s life; and had it not been discovered by the Secretary of State, he should certainly not have been there to tell the tale, :S It was only discovered on the Tuesday evening, and on the mornirg of the fallowing day he came from his cell to the Sheriff, under the full conviction that he was to be conducted that momet,t to the gallows. On his liberation he found she had sold all his :hire s (he is a hackney.coachman), and every article he was worth, a n d was about putting his children in the workhouse. Instead a re . ceiving him kindly, she caused him to he thrown into the King's Bench for debt, and had repeatedly since harassed hint in many ways. He declared solemnly that the furniture was his own, and the whole of her story was a vile fabrication. He appealed to the Magistrate for protection, declaring that until she could gratify her " jealous revenge," by causing him to suffer a dreadful death on the gallows, she would not stop persecuting him, used that rendered it no longer necessary. Some persons confirmed the untortunate man's statement ; also pronouncing the complainant as a most pro fl igate woman. I She, in a furious passion, called them liars and murderers, until she was compelled to desist. Mr. Rawt.i waox said, he could not for a moment think of retaining such an evidently groundless and infamously urged charge; and considered the woman worth little indeed who could in such a manner urge another false charge against a man who the world thought had already suffered enough. Harris was then discharged. FRAUD ON LADY ELLENBOROUGII. QUELN•SQUASIZ, AUGUST 11.—Just as the Magistrate, A.A. WRITE, Esq. was leaving the Bench, on Wednesday ev e n, ing, a man of very respectable deportment, dressed in black, was brought into the Justice-room by George Pople, the officer. who had a short time before apprehended him, for dePrauding the Right Hon. Lady Ellenborough of three valuable horses. On the accused being placed at the bar he seemed much agitated, and when asked by the Magistrate his name, address, &c. he said his name was George V. Berry. that he was an mark h-feather. manufacturer, and carried on business in 'Webber-row, Blackfttara. road. It appears that her Ladyship, having occasion to part with three of her stud of horses, advertised them for sale, viz. a fine Arabian mare, in foal, and two handsome fillies. The advertisement was, soon after its appearance in the papers, answered by the prisoner, who, on theafith ult. had an interview with her Ladyship'e under. coachman, and made particular inquiries respecting the horses that were to be parted with, and also the price that her Ladyship ex. petted Mr the property. The coachman told hint that 100 guineas were set upon them, but added, that if he felt disposed to purchase them, be had no doubt less money would be taken. The prisoner then anxiously inquired if Lady Ellenborough was at home and could be seen ? The coachman told him that her Ladyship had ordered the carriage at four o'clock, and that it being then near that hour, he considered it would be inconvenient for her to treat with him then, and advised him to come the next day. The prisoner made an examination of the animals, and appeared quite satisfied with their health and appearance, and on leaving, said he world call again the following day. On leaving the stables, however, he proceeded to Park-lane, and by some means or other he contrived to get an audience with her Ladyship, and after introducing him. self as a gentleman from the country, a treaty was entered into, and be became a purchaser of the animals for 751. The prisoner then intimated to her Ladyship that it would be father inconvenient for hint to pay for them in ready cash, as his residence was in Dorset. shire, and that he was only in town for a few days, but said, if her Ladyship requested it, he would write home for a remittance of the amount, or he would then give her his acceptance for it, payable at seven days' sight, and in the mean time he should be in the receipt of the amount. Her Ladyship, without any suspicion, assented to a bill being drawn, and the prisoner accepted it, making it pay. able at his house in Webber-row. At the request of the accused, the horses were sent immediately toAustin's livery-stables, in Great Windmill -street, Haymarket, where the prisoner, and a man whom be designated his servant, were waiting to receive them, and bore them away. Next day the bill was paid into the hands of Messrs. Cowls, her Ladyship's bankers. On the bill becoming due it was presented by Messy.. ('outts's clerk at the prisoner's residence, fc: payment, but dishonoured, and the consequence was, that a sus. picion at once arose in her Ladyship's mind that she had beea swindled out of her homes, and on enquiring at Austin's livery. stables respecting Mr. Berry, site heard that he was in the habit of bringing horses there to stand at livery, and that he always stated himself to be living at Manor House, Old Oak Common, East Acton. Inquiry was made at Manor House, but Mr. Berry Was unknown there, nor was he known in the village. Her Ladyship, finding herself thus imposed upon, waited upon Mr. White, the Magistrate, to whom she related the whole manta. Lion, and requested his assistance in the recovery of her horses, or in the prosecution of the prisoner. The result 9119, that Mr.Wiete inquired amongst the officers respecting Mr. Berry, and finding hen to be well known amongst the horse trail', he issued his warrant immediately for his apprehension, and selected Gorge Pottle to execute it. since the officer has held the warrant he has been most indefati, gable in his endeavours to put it in execution, and on Wednesday last he succeeded in his object, when he found the prisoner at an obscure lodging within the Rules of the King's Bench, and took him into custody. The officer also ascertained that the horses for several days had been standing in the stables of lily. Wade, a far. tier, who resided in that neighbourhood, but from whence they had been removed a day or two before.
