Lord Ellen borough does not, it appears, sell the office of Chief Clerk: be keeps that in trust of others for his own appointments • and, of course, he, as holding the office of Chief Clerk by the means of Trustees, ap points the second set of offices, which, as we see, bring in 6,2371. and some odd a year ; and, as the Chief Justice may sell the office of Custos Brevium, he may, of course, include in the worth of it, the worth of the offices, whose possessors are appointed by the Custos Brevium and it is expressly stated ill the report, that the offices held under the appoint ment of the Custos Brevium are considered to be saleable. Well, thee, Geotlemen, you are now very com petent to judge arthe assertions of Sir Francis, as to the salary, the sinecures, and the saleable offices, of the Lord Chief Justice. There now remains only I the JAI LER'S EMOLUMENTS, in which Sir Francis is represented as having said that Lord El lestborough participates. The words are: that Lord Ellenborough, "besides his salary, receives in sine cures, 8,9901. a year, besides having offices to sell, and PARTICIPATING IN THE EMOLU. 1 ?VENTS OF IBIS OWN JAILER." To this last assertion it is, that Mr. WILLIAM JONES, Mar shal of the King's Bench, has given a fiat denial, in a letter, which has been published, apparently, in ! all the London Newspapers, and of which the fol. lowing is a copy, as published in the Times News. PoPP" "re the Editor of the Timcs. SIR,•--It is a I duty I owe to to Lord Ellenborough, to the public, and t myself, to contradict, in the most express and ssi,e4oivocal terms, au unreserved and groundless assertion made by Sir Francis Burdett, in his Ad- I dress to the Electors of Westminster, published its ' the Times of the 3d instant. On that occasion, he peremptorily accuses the Lord Chief Justico of tho King's notch, of andaly participating in my official emoluments, as .111wshal of the Prison . of that Court. I accordingly declare, with all the solemnity sailed to a public asseveration of this serious nature that no one dues purticiinde, or ever has particYpaled, with me, in any wag whatever, in the advantages or benefits which I derive iron: any situation; and that, coesequettily, the charge made by Sir Francis Bar. iota, as already espressed, is wholly without founda tion. I hold my office by the especial appointment of the King , under his Majetty's Royal Sign Ma lawi', according to an Act of the 37th of George IL, `whereby the power of granting the office of the Marshal of the King's Bench is vested in the Crown ; and, in the language of the instrument by which I have been unn.initted to it, with all its profits, per. quisites; privileges, and advantages ; in which, I re assert ,so one has ever participated with me.—The public refutation of such a charge, so boldly made, is a duty which it becomes me to perform, and I trust I have now performed it. 46 I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, WM.

Ido NOT account fur a half penny to any person, and it is an office of great risk." Gentlemen, judge now for yourselves. People of England, judge now between Sir Francis Burdett and this Mr. Jones. I will add but a few words by way of explanation. Mr. Jones sometimes calls himself the Marshal qf the King's Bench, and, at other times, Marshal of the King's Bench Prison ; but he no where calls himself a JAILER; while Sir Francis Burdett does call bim a Jailer, in point ing him out as the person with.whom the Lord Chief Justice participates in emoluments. You, Gentle men, will be able to decide what weight ought to be given to this distinction, suppose the word Jailer to ; differ essentially in meaning from the word Marshal,! as used in the present instance ; but, I will just show you what is the real nature of Mr. Jones's office, taking my description from the Law Dic tionary itself:—" MARSHAL OF TILE KING'S BENCH, who bath the custody of the King's Bench Prison in Southwark. This Officer gives attendance upon the Court, and takes into his custody all prison's com mitted by the Court ' • he is FINEABLE FOR. HIS ABSENCE; and NON-ATTENDANCE IS A FORFEITURE OF 1115 OFFICE." And yet Mr. Jones is, in the report above quoted, said to have asserted, in evidence, that the son of the Chief Justice, while an infant, and while asroad, wait the Marshal of the Kitig's Bench! I shall say do more. Judge you for yourselves, Gentlemen, between Sir Francis Burdett and the person who hes accused him of promulgating false hood. But, I cannot let pass this occasion of ex pressing my hopi, thut all those, who have publiThed the letter or Mr. Jones will, at least, publish the above evidence given by himself on the subject. In my next I shall crave your attention to matters appertaining more exclusively to this county ; and, in the mean while I remain your faithful friend, Rolle), 42d Oct. 1812. WM. CORBETT. POLICE. _-.11..... G L'ILDIVIALL.—On Saturday, a charge, of a very singular and alarming nature, was investigated be fore the Sitting Alderman (Sir NI ATTIIEW BLON. m) this dad. An errand boy, belonging to a Mr, Den ny, a stationer, in Barbican, was charged upon suspicion of having robbed his master, and set fire to his house in order to conceal the theft. On Wed nesday evening last, Mr. Denny and his wife went to a friend's house at Islington, leaving their house and . their children to the care of a charewoman, who was in the habit of working for them ; the Prisoner was also left at home, and was observed to go up and down stairs frequently to the back parlour, on va. rious pretences : at last he gave the alarm of lire, and ; ran up to a lady who lodged in the second floor, to inform her of the accident, but on retiring he locked her in ; fortunately she got out by another door, and with some other people in the house, proceeded to the back . parlour, which was so filled with smoke, they were not, at arst, able to discover from whence it came. At last it was foond, that a chest of draw- ers in one corner of the room Was on fire, and some clothes It contained consumed ; one of the drawers, in particular,. was much burned ; and it was after wards found that this was the drawer in which Mr. Denny had kept a pocket-book, containing Batik : notes and cash to the amount of 201. distinct from his tither monies and which was only knowuto him self and wife, and the Prisoner. The pocket-hook, with the notes and cash, had wholly disappeared, and has not since been traced. The Prisoner then went to Islington, to acquaint his master with what had happened ; and when examined the next day, by one of the City Police Officers, denied most posi- A few days since the Norwich Expedition Coach _ was robbed of bank notes to the amount of 5001. The greatest precautions possible have been taken to guard against such an occurrence, a boy having been made in the coach -boy under the driver's seat, in which a leather bag, fastened with an iron bar and rings, for the porpoise of containing parcels which were frequently sent from the bankers in Norwich• to their correspondents in London. It is called the tively that he had called any where in his nay. — However, it was discovered that he had been at Isis father's, in his way to Islington; and some other prevarications casting a suspicion upon him as the thief, the matter was brought before a Magistrate for investion.
