COURT OF KINGS BENCH. cools y. NELL. Thil was a enrionsca:e: in which the plain.ilTrnnzhi rreover 1.7011. heing money had and reeriv.d by the orfendant, sad paid to him neon his oinfl , rrakiner to re• orrr an ramie, which the plainlitradmed to be entitled In .I,ller his ende's will. - - r. SCARLET? stated the case to the dory. He said. the plaintiff was a respectable encr.iver. rr at4t og i n St. Martin's-lane, who cunt-eked entitled to some estates in the county of Norfolk, as drri-ee of his nai will. Mr. Henry Cooke, who died in 17112. By some 1111- swltif ions cirennistances, the plaintiff became ltlM•linted i h the defendant, Henry Nugent Bell, residing in the Royal Terrace, Adelphi, who represented himself as a Barrister, parlienlorlv skilful in recovering lost estarce, titles &c. and of Bred his prtfessional services to Sirs. Cooke. A meeting was appointed between the parties. Mr. Cooke, with the most sanguine bops, m "le the best of his way to No. 4, Royal T , Adelphi; the door was opened by a huge Irish porter, who suggested, that a fee most be paid,and a written accouut of the ease delivered, before the defendant could enter upon his task. Mr. C. agreed, and a statement was sent to the. Learned thatlentax.. detailing the whole partirnlars of Mr. C.'s Bate. He resiveti a letter from Sir. Henry Nugent Bell, which he (Mr. Scarlett) would re;ul to them. It was dated Thnisilav evening, October 26, !SD ; the defend ant cnnoneneed by informing Mr. Cooke, that no suit rotaid he mahrained by Barristers for their fees, and that as he had suffered considerably from his inability to do so, he most be excused In soliciting an ailrance of 511/. before lie could turn his attention to Sir. C.'s claim ; he said lie most read the uncle's will, and take abstracts trout it; "after which." said Mr Bell, "a pedigree must be compiled to shew your title, according to the her of descents and genealogy." Yes, 511. was neces sary to make a pedigree to prove a mm nephew to Lis own uncle 1 lint this was not the whole of Mr. Bell's lilanailde promise; he undertook to du more, a great deal more, fur his fifty pounds, not, indeed to assume to himself the exercise of the high prerogative of creating Mr. Cooke a Peer of the realm, but he informed his 'biped cheat, that he hail inning reasons to believe he should be able to replace Mr. Cooke in the ho honrs of a Peerage, to which he tell Lint, the fa mily had formerly belonged, though they had nut lately taken on themselves to int6t on their title. lie (Mr. Scarlett) did not know, hilt if he had had such a letter sent him, he might have sent lti.m his 501. and have tried for • Peerage. Inconsequence of the receipt of this letter. the plaintiff went %tide a Mr. Woodbourne to the eliainhers or house of Mr. Bell ; they were ad mitted by the porter, and introduced to the defendant, oho, like some mighty magician, sat " ontiphering the spirit of Plato," or as if holding communion n ith the witches in Macbeth. Nothing materi.d occurred at this interview, except the advanee of the 5111. for which fir. Cooke received all the promises of properity and rood fortune Mr. Bell could bestow. The lustre of a Peer age, and the possession of vast estates, were predicted is the eertain fruits of BelTs Tesler, h. A fascinating and fairy scene was suspended before the eyes of Sir. Cooke. Mr. C. and his friend departed, and shortly ofterwards Mr. Hell sent another letter to the plaiatiff, directed "—Cooke, Esq." rod commencing " My dear Sir;" in this letter he inclosed the pedigree of Sir H. Cooke, of— Hall, together with the pedigree of another family, which, he said, had been Liken from the College of Army and accompasied these with drawings of the arms of ;hose Lrtrifles, highly coloured and emblazaaeil. He total his the statement of Ida case was utmost iiitished, and 1111.141 soon be sent to souse eminent lien- Heinen at the Bar for their :Alice. Ile observed, that lie had hest endeavouring, but without mem., since October, to bas an interview with Sir (leorge Nay lor; requested to have ISt pounds, advanced to him. to etable Lim to proceed with the busittese, and gave Cooke every asenrance of his assidoons exertions to attain a inteeessfed result. Mr. Cooke and Mr. Woodbourne again waited RIO hint, anti gave him a draft far 1(1111. oeCoutts and Co. Afterwirds, hearing no more from Mr. Bell, they called at hie house, where they were informed be had gone to Ireland, and would not return for seine weeks. The It:Attila world now willingly have exchanged the pedigree, and the enibln eared arms fir the 15111. and felt, no donlit, that be had been duped. The defendant, how ever, returned to Lon don, when Mr. Cooke waited on hint. and exp eeeee d his IM 'prise that no Lore progress had been made in the transaction. The defendant replied, fist lie had been with a Mr. SPLean, s pervert residing in the metropolis, o ho kept a register of hattkrupteies, deaths, marriage., &c. aid that he found one Mr. Price had bora a lankrupt, whom- property was *bout to be sold by t h e ass , gneee, which er.ia not done, because part of it be longed to the heir of Mr. Henry Cooke. He stated he it;.d been with the assignee, but could make nothing of it, and concluded, by saying, he found it so dihicult to go on with, and the result was so doubtful, that it was rot worth it bile to pursue it any fertlior. The plaintiff rerrestril to have his money returned, which tic. Bell refused, and gave him an account consisting of a great 'many sheet'', which, lie said, wonlit show how the mo r,y hail been applied. Amongst other items, wus the fallowing:—" Attending Sir lieorge Nnylor, who shined me the pedigrees of several persons of the nano' of Cooke," Ike. &c. Por this he charred three euineas. Another item was for searching the Gentlemen's .Adage-1 zi te, and there were a great number of similar charges eqadly ridiculous. Eriaeoce was given in support of the above state inent. o Counsel appeared for the defendant. The LORD CHIRP JUSTICE observed to the Jury, that it appeared to him this hail been a ihs'ienie retried o.) fn.!!! beginning to end, to entrap and to deceive the I.Lintiff, who had applied to him under the expectation of receiving assistance. Still, he thought, the deism nmst have been at some expence, and have given i.inselt sone trouble, for which, perhaps, be ongbt to be ►..toonerated ; therefore, it would be for them to say, it t!•.v thought or not, 100 f. would be as much as air 10.1intilf was entitled to. NI:. SCARLET? assented to this; and The Jury found a Verdict for lOW. PRICR, GENT. D. PRICE, GENT. This WRO an action brought to recover damages for a I Mod. The plaintiff was a solicitor living at alberga- ' Teeny. in Wales; the defendant was also a solicitor, re siding at the same place, but was also a surveyor and inslector of a d taxes. The plaintiff had been as. a:vied attorney fur a person of the name of Meyer. who sued in forma pauperis, in au action for Islse imprison.' Inert atiainst the defendant. The plaintiff hail occasion t • bl cena a cler:sman of the motto of Powell, at v tc.oi toe defendant look offoce, and directed his tie r% to write the libel in question, n hick he signed, ee.l sent to the plaintiff. The libel was put in awl iesd ; it insinuated that the sluinidf had suhlicesed witnefises to etihanee costs, and Cis: lie or Lis rlerk intuit speak'ntore than the truth, if he succeeded egaimit the defend:aft {iv the oral evidence, and indeed by the admission of the cefendant's counsel, it appeared that nii- one had s -en the contents, before Mr. C. Price, the plaintiff, or crier the signature of the tlefes•-lant,•althotigh the letter tra• sent folded op. without seal or wafer. The Loao Cuter JUATICE intimated his opinion, that Clete was nut sufficient evidence publication to sop. poet the action; on an iodic mint no doubt it would do, Lot to support an action on the case. there must be a puldication of the libel after it is written. - - Mr. SCARLIITT contended, f iat, ehe defendant having put•his name to the paper, was prima facie evi dence that he had originally composed it, end then di rected hicelerk to copy It, after which he had signed it secondly, that the conveyance of it In an open state was good evidence of publicatinn. The I.nan CHIEF JUSTICE said be thought the parties should toning)* to withdraw a jnror. The SOLICITOR UINIRAL said his client had certainly written it in a moment of irritation, and Le could not defend his conduct. It was agreed to withdraw a juror. OREENVIELD a DURUM Mr. GURNEY stated this to be an action brought by a respectable Solicitor, against the defendant, who was •one of the proprietors of the Hastings stage coach, to re cover 50/, the alleged value of a portmanteau, lost in the journey from London to Hastings. It appeared that the plaintiff was dasigous of passing a short time, during the summer, at lasting; and he applied at the Belle Saevage Inn, to go ly the coach. He was toll the coach would take him upevith his !wage at the Hold en Cross. Charing-cross. The plaintiff consequently took The coach as an outride passenger at Charin, ,, cross, and hie portinfinteau was stowed on the roo t The coachman was of opinion that the luggage was not well secured, and the plaintiff's portmanteau was again re moved, to be placed in the boot. When they reached Hastings the pormantrau was missing. The plaintiff applied to Mr, Breeds, who was concerned In the coach, and he premised to pay the value of the luggage, bet failing to keep his promise the present &mien was brought. Mr. Brookbank, a gentleman who was with Mr. , Greenfield on the stage, proved the package of the port manteau on the top of the coach. lie also described the loss, and added that Mr. Oreenfietd was mach incon venienced by the loss of his linen. The plaintiff had not a shirt to wear at Hastings. Mr. SCARLETT. for the defendant, much to the 11111tIlls ment atilt Court, prodeced the declaration in th•eanse, engrossed upon parchment, near fire yards inieogth. It contained 26 special counts. He extended it !ernes the table, and the Lord Chief Justice jocosely observed, that it was long enough fora staircase carpet. This cu rious exhibition of legal technicality was wade M con. %ince the Jury that the action Was brought by an attor ney. The defence was, that the portmanteau had not been booked and paid for as a parcel shove the vain. of b/, and consequently by the notice in she defendant's coach office, be was not liable for the loss. The LORD Corer Jessica decided that the plaiatiff could recover because there was a promise to pay the value. Theinry were left to give what they considered the fair value of the portmanteau. They found a verdict for the plaintiff—Daaragdfili. TIM NINO P. THOZOWGOOD. This was an indictment which charged the defendant with assault, committed OD the person of the prosecutor, Thomas Feather, who bad formerly been the lamllcird of the Guildhall Coffee-house, but lied sauce failed. The parties had disputed in a public-house about a bet lost at a pugilistic combat, and the Defendant struck the Prosecutor a violent blow on the nose. After the prose cutor Ind proved his case, The LORD Cater JUSTICE recommended that 'heti& fendat should submit to a verdict of Guilty, and the Court would hereafter determine theloantutu of punish ment, if the prosecutor should think it worth his while to move (Cr judgment. A verdict of Guilty was recorded by consent. The prosecutor being called on to pay the Jury their fees, its ted he had been very unfortunate, having become a bankrup., and professed his inability to settle with the Jury. The LORD CHM Jutmcs animadverted hi dlieeg terms npou the prosecutor's imprudence in baring been engaged In gambling speculations, to which, be said, no doubt his misfortunes night be attributed. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, Om 17. Gevrge Kelly was couratod of ia%ndeeen► tumult upon a boy about eight or nine years old. The Ind saner had been a private in the 3d Ward*, from which be was discharged, after be was in custody for this offence, receiving, however, a good character for the time he had din the regiment. The Court, therefore, only sentenced him to four months' solitary confinement. Joseph Peans, a periodical bookseller, was put to the Ear, charged with an amok and attempt at rape on Elizabeth Haman& a girl nine veers old. The mother of the child said, the prisoner lived in her house, in Chapelidley, liorseferry-road. The child herself detailed the circumstances of the prisoner's in terference. The time was about eight o clock in the evening of the 10th inst. The evidence of the surgeon went to prove that the condition of the child was such as to afford a strong presumption that violence had been offered to her. William Isaacs, fur the prisoner, stated that he was in his house, 37, Sutton-ground, till after nine o'clock on the night in question, and he had been so from about four o'clock. . _ The Jury having consulted for some time, returned a verdict of Guilty.

Moore, aged only 14, the latter of whom was tried at the last Old Bailey Sessions, convicted, and sentenced to be ins prisoned one month and well whipped,, were indicted for stealing from the shop of Mr. Thomas Kelly, book seller, of Holywell-street, Strand, a volume of Pope and Warburton's L)unciad, &c. his property. The prisoners were seen to take the week from 'he window and fol lowed, when the property was found on the elder pri soner. They were both well known to the Police Officers, and the Jury round them Guilty. The CHAIRMAN, in passing sentence, said, the eety course that could be pursued to save them from an ig nominious death, was to send them out of the country, and ordered them to be transported for seven years. nomas Ilatcß, a man of respectable appearance, be tween 50 and GO years of age, was indicted for having on divers times, since the Ist neM May, IS2I, exposed himself Ito three female children, named in the indictment, and committed other acts of indecency towards them which were stated in the indictment, but cannot be re peated. This case excited great interest in the neighbourhood where the defendant lived, and had been a shopkeeper for 30 years; and daring the trial the Court was crowd ed to excess. Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS stated the case for the prose. William Crook was the first witness examined. He stated that he is a smith Living in Camomile.streey where be has known the prisoner keeping a green:' grocer's shop for Y 5 oars. Witness, in consequence of something respecting the prisoner's conduct, which he had heard frosts his (witness's) danzhter, instituted an inquiry in the fanillies of his neighbours, which caused the present prosecution. 0 . 11 his cross-examination by Mr. Carewata., the wit ness :id the prisoner was a Caller and a grandfather.— Witness's wife, who is now dead, used to send their ,laughter to the prisoner's shop ; the ebild expressed an unwillingness to go, and inquiries inAde by 1. ittletS Into the cause, led to the discovery of the prisoner's conduct. Lydia F.lphick, *child of abont twelve years of age, stated that she was often sent to the prisoner's shop by her mother to bay vegetables. One day Ise - shot :be shop door and triolt bet by the arm, and said he wanted to *peek to lie► in the parlour. She caught hold of the ens! of the COlllllll pear the parker door, and refined to go in. The witness, in answer to the questions pet to her, describes! the prisoner's conduct to her in a manner that excited the horror of the whole auditory. She turned away, and threatened to erg out, at which the prisoner let her go. At other times he behaved in a si milar manner. She told her mother what the prisoner had done, and her mother !togged her for saying such a thing. She often went afterwards to other shops when sent by her mother to the prisoner's. Louisa Long and Mary Davis, children of the same age, gave similar evidence. Mr. eRMVELL addressed the Jnry for the pri and called a witness, who proved that half the prisoner's shop door was glass, and that every one could see into it from the street; he also called witnesses, who gave the prisoner a good character, and was proceeding to call other witnesses, when Mr. Primus" said, he would admit the prisoner had an excellent character before this discovery of his crimes. Mr. PIIILLIFS .- then wlikewerl the Jury in reply. The Cumutw•rs shortly charged the Jury, who in stantly returned a ver.liet of—tieilty.

Foster-lone. and called " The Laudable Society of Master Tradesmen," at tended at this office yesterday, before the Aklermeo Ansley and Waithnian, to shew cease why they heel dis continued the payment of the pension of 10s. tid. a week to a superannuated member named John Fisher. Mr. Fisher, it seems, has been a very respectable tradesman, and still carries on a small business as a cut ler in Ratcliffe•highwa lie is now totally blind, and had, in consequence, been compelled to declare oa the Society's chest. By the 16th Article of the Society. when a member became superannuated, he was entitled to a pension of half a guinea a week, and permitted to do any small matters on his ow. account . " provided his earnings do net emceed his weekly . pension. '—lt was admitted that Mr. Fisher was incapacitated from earning any thing hy his personal labour, and the moot point was, did the profits he was supposed to receive from his trade, come within the meaning of the term earnings? Mr. Fisher's family consisted of his wife, a son, and a daughter. The son was no partner, but the whole of dectemiesee wee winuoged by him, and. ape, Ibefess ceeds of it, the whole family were supported., • Mr. Alderman Anomie seemed to think that the re ceipts of the profits of the trade, although wet die pro fits of Mr. Fisher's personal labour, must be ',soldered as hie earnings. Mr. Alderman Wetrusax viewed the question In a different light. lf the son. by his personal exertions, supported - his father, it was too hard to say that he should not receive that support without forfeiting his claim as a pensioner. The Stewards perceiving the division about to go against them, changed their ground, and started ano ther objection. Mr. Fisher, they said, and it was al lowed, with the exception of his blindness, was other wise in good health. They would undertake to find him an employment by which be might earn 151. a week; one which was healthy, and which he was fully capable of performing, and contended, that while thus able to maintain himself, he could sot Legally claim to be con , tinned a pensioner. The Magistrate inquired the nature of the employ ment, which was stated to be turning a wheel. The Stewards, however, were unable to produce any clause in their articles to fortify the position they had taken, and the Magistrates thinking it rather too hard for a respectable tradesman to be compelled to the drudgery of turning a wheel, the objection was over-riled, and the ultimate deciaion given in favour of the complain ant, upon the ground that his earnings had not exceed ed the amount of his weekly pension. BOW-5711111T.-CACTION 7 - 0 " PAWNIBROILIRIo-A little boy, scarcely ten years old, the son of Bill Cropky—once one of the heroes of the prize ring, but now a bard working coal-heaver—was charged by bis father and stepmother with robbing them. It was alleged, and the child cdmitted the fact, that his stepmother and his father treated him with the greatest kindness; and yet, for many months past, be has taken every opportunity of robbing them. Not more than two months ago he stole a shawl of his step-mother's, which be pledged at Hat , rig's, a pawnbroker in the Strand, for half-a-crown, and afterwards sold the duplicate to a strange woman for 6d. Yesterday morning his step-mother locked him in the libuse, whiles she went out for about half an bone and I during her absence he broke open the door, end ta king his father's holyday cost from the chest, he carried it to the of id Mr. Harris's, where he pawned it for 7s. and absconded; but in the course of the day he was brought home by a parcel of honester lads than himself. The poor woman seemed much affected, and shed tears whilst giving her evidence. Among other things she stated that she had repeatedly cautioned the pawn broker's man not to take in any articles the boy might bring, as be was addicted to thieving. In consequence of this information, the Magistrates (R. filinshull and T. Halls, &Is.) sent an officer for the aforesaid pawnbroker's man, and he came with the coat under his arm. Ile gave his name Joseph Burgess, and a very dapper and self-complacent young fellow lie is. Ile declared that the little prisoner was continually " in the habits" of bringing things to pawn for his step mother, and that she had never cautioned him not to deal with him. The step mother, however, solemnly ted that she had cautioned bins, unit that she Lad never sentthe boy to pawn any thing whatever. The 14 agistrates, after censoring the condact of pawn brokers io taking in property trolls children, committed the little prisoner to take his trial for the theft, and the pawnbroker's man fur receiving the property, knowing it to be stolen; but be wa►afterwards liberated on bail.
