He cited the cases of Tooley o. Windham, and Manley v. Nott. , He contended that the Defendant was not liable originally, as there was • regular Trinity House pilot on board .the Carolina Matilda. The Loan CHIEF Justice thought there was vafficient to sustain the action without inquiring whether there was orignally a legal ground of claim ogainst the Caroline Matilda. This was rather a vase of waiver, by the engagement which the Defendant had entered into, and which left nothing but the question of damages to be ascertained, giving up all right to inquire into the legality of the original ground.of the claim. The rest of the Judges concurred in opinion with the Chief Justice. Vetelict . for the Plaintiff affirmed. OLD BAILEY, MONDAY, OCTOBER 29. William Weston, • silversmith, was indicted for feloniously causing twelve silver teaspoons to be stamped with a forged mark, resembling that of the Goldsmiths' Company, well knowing it to be such. John Price, an apprentice to Mr. Upjohn, of St. John's-square. ordered twelve teaspoons of the Prisoner, and received them from him, paying him IL It. 2d. fur the workmanship and duty, and giving him old silver for the weight. The spoons Yard been ordered of Mr. Upjohn by Mr. King, • listen-draper, of St. John-street, and, the witness delivered them at his shop. Thomas Mendham, shopman to Mr. King; Miss E. Wilson, shopwoman to Mr. King; and Mr. end Mrs. King, proved the receipt of the spoons from the last witness, and Mr. King deposed, that thinking them charged roo high, he sent one to Goldsmiths' Hall by Mend ham, and afterwards lie sent six mme by Sarah. Stmcoe, at the desire of Mr. Barrow, the Deputy. Wsrden. Mr. Barrow proved the delivery to him at the Hall of the seven tea-spoons; and that the Hall mark upon them, and upon the other five which were now shewn to him, was not genuine. George Miles., inspector and marker of silver at Goldsmiths' Hall, proved the maker's initials, W. W. on the spoons to be impressions from the punch regularly entered in the Hall books by the Prisoner, and used by him for marking articles of his manufacture since 1810. The lawful stamp of the Company consists of a leopard's head, • boss Passant, and a variable letter ; the King's head is ; the Government stamp ; these are produced by one punch. The punches used are engraved by John Smith, who is authorised by Government and the Company. The speoner shewu to witness are stamped with a forged punch. Witness has no doubt on the subject. Witness, accompanied by a police officer, went to the house of the Prisoner on the 6th of October. They found the Prisoner at home. They first examined the workshop where the Prisoiier's sons were at work. They found there twelve teaspoons nearly fiuished, and also tour dozen teaspoons,marked with the genuine Hall mark ; and three pair of sugar-tongs. also bearing the genuine mask. The stamp mark on the tongs appeared to have been hammered. The impression of the stamp might be taken upon atrother piece of silver by hammering it with • smart. stroke. The sugar-tongs appeared to have been thus used. An instrumerit thus prepared would produce a mark similar to that upon the spoons. The witness being asked whether the Hall stamp on the twelve un finished spoons found on the Prisoner's premises was genuine or forged— Mr. ALLEY, supported by Mr. ANDREWS, ob jected to the question as evidence in this case; the forgery of the stamp on those spoons. suppose it to have been forged, being a distinct offence. Mr. WALFoRD and Mr. Norroe replied to the objection, maintaining the admissibility oldie ques tion by analogy from the practice its the case. of Bank forgeries and counterfeit coin. The COMMON SERJEANT, who presided, over enled the objection ; but said that in • case of this important nature, coming before him alone, he should feel it his duty, in the event of the Prisoner's conviction, to take the opinion of the twelve Judges n the point. The examination of the witness then proceeded. The manufacturer's marks on the unfinished spoons are impressions from the Prisoner's punch. The Hall marks are forged, and appear not to have been made by a steel punch bet by • oilveriinstru merit prepared as he had before described. The Prisoner oil being asked for his books denied that he had any ; but being told that the officer would be directed to search, he gave up a day-book, in which was entered the sale of the twelve teaspoons .to Mr. Upjohn. The book having been examined, entries were discovered in the Prisoner's hand-writing of salts of plate from the 29th May, to the Irt October, amounting to 914 ounces 3 pennyweights. Mr. WALFuRD was that proceeding to examine the witness a. to the quantity of plate appearing by the Hall bock, to have been stempt at the Hall for the Prisoner its the same period— But Mr. ALUM objected to such evidence, on the ground of its not referring to the precise articles forming the subject of the present indictment. The Coate admitted the objection, and the question was consequernly not allowed to he put. Cros.-examined by Mr. ALLEY.—Nu silver in strumeut liar stamping, prepared as he had de scribed, was found on the premises of the Pri soner, and the Prisoner had no ieticuation of the intention to search his premises. Spoons are sent to the Hall to he stamped in a rough unpolished state ; and the polishing afterwards ought not to remove the impression, but it certainly might re move the clearness of the edges, and the sharp ponds of the impression. He never said it was very difficult to state whether the stamp was cor rect or not. Ke-examined by Mr. WALFORD. He had him self tried and obtained an instrument for stamping. by striking an impression from a regularly stamped piece of plate. He had done it on silver, and such an iostrament would not stamp more than five or six impressions Without wearing out. The impress stun from a steel punch would not be injured by polishing. The impression made by a silver pouch would differ so mach from an impression made by a , steel punch, that a person acquainted with the Hall murk would readily discover the difference. The impressions of the Hall mark upon .the spoons charged in the indictment, and also upon the un finished spoons found In the Prisoner's workshop, arc not from • steal pouch, but from some softer metal. Mr. Barrow was again called and proved hoeing assayed seven of the spoons ; they were of standard silver. They were not assayed until aiker.,the Pais mailer'. apprehension. John Smith, engraver to the Goldsmiths' Com• pally. proved that the marks of the Hall .and Go vernment stamp on the spoons were not made by the Company's punch. In his cross-examination he said it had been stated in conversation upon this subject, that the impressions on the sprawl were so well done that it was very difficult to say whether they were correct or not. • • Re-examined by Mr. NORTON.—Witness never said that there was any difficulty in detectiog the forgery ; nor had he from the first any doubt that the stamp en the spoons was forged. Mr. Walters, • paWnbroker, proved that he bought, in June last, two pair of gravy spoon. of the Prisoner, one pair of which were afterwards taken from him by Mr. Miles. Mr. Peachy, of Goswell-street, silversmith, re ceived from the Prisoner on the Slat May, le tea spoons, arid So on the Bth June. He afterwards delivered to Mr. Miles eight teaspoons of the Pri soner's make. and which he had received from the Prisoner; but he could not say whether they were a part of railer of those parcels or of some other. Cross-egsmiried by Mr. Anonsws.—He could net take upon himself to swear that the eight tea spoons of *filth lie had spoken came to him from the hands of the Pris o ner. By the CouttY—He can say with certainty that he received those right spoons from the Prisoner at ogese tone or other. Mr. Miles was called again, and proved the Hall marks on the grimy -womb. , from Mr. Walters, and on the eight teaspoons from Mr. Peachy, to be forged. Mr. Smith being also called again, corroborated the testimony of the last witness. This closed the case for 'the prosecution. Mr. ALLEY, supported by Mr. ANDREWS and Mr. Law for th- Prisoner. contended, that this prosecution could not stand, the indictment charging the offence as against the statute, and not against the statutes, and Go evidence baring been produced to shew that the stamps which the Pd• caner was charged with having imitated were the stamps legally in use, the authority fur using such stamps not having been proved. Mr. WALFORD and Mr. Nowrog, for the prose. cution, contended, that the indictment was properly framed, the Act of the 55th George 111. having in corporated all the regulations and Acts is force on the subject. The authority of the Goldsmiths' Company for the stamps was proved by the evidence of Mr. Miles; and the form of the stamps was pre scribed by the Acta of the 12th George 11. and of the 21/d George HI. The COMMON SIIJIANT overruled the objec tion, but consented to reserve the point for the opi nion of the Judges. The Prisoner, in his defence, denied that he had refused to deliver up his book to Mr. Miles; he only said, on being asked for his books, that his accounts were short. and he had only one book. That book lie gave up at once, cud readily assisted the persons iu searching his premises. He also stated, that he had for a considerable time been afflicted with deafness, ou which account he had not worked himself, but had. giveu his business up to his sons. _ _ A considerable nonsbev of witnesses were call ed to speak to the character of the Prisoner for the last twenty or thirty years, who expressed them selves in the strongest terms as to his integrity. The COMMON SgIIJWIT summed up at great length ; and the Jury, after consulting fur up wards of an hour, ou their return found the l'ri soner Aot The trial occupied nearly nine hours; and the verdict was received with great satisfactiun by a very crowded Coors, DEATH BY FIGHTING. In our last week's paper we noticed the commitment of IVi/linnt Hawkins to t►e comity gaol by Robert Weston, ' Gent, one of his Majesty's Coroners fur this county, for killing and slayiog John Townsend, at Stow Nine Churches, in this county, and sow give the pat Oculars of tbe jogai s ' is taken by the same Coroner un view of the body of the de ceased. It appears in evidence, that being Stow Few, • ' labourer,uf the name of John Collins, let • room at his bowie fur • dance, at which many persons, incluelisg Hawkins and Townsend, were present, and WON dispute arising between them, they agreed to go into an adjoining close and fight it out. Before they began to fight, Hawkins said to the de ceased, " bring as they were townsmen and all, be would rather shake hands with him than fight him," but Townsend replied," being as it is come to this he would end it, he would not make it up." They then shook bands with each other and began the battle, and in the third roiled Hawkins gave Townsend • blow with his right band on the stomach, that staggered him, and followed it up by anther blow with the left h an d, nearly on the senor place, which brought him to the ground, and caused his immediate death. A surgeon was sent for, but could render no assistance. They were both single men, the deceased about 25 years of age, and Hawkins U. The several witnesses examined proved that It was • fair battle, sod that no undue advantage was taken by either party.—The Jury, after • long and minute investigation of the whole transaction, returned a verdict of Manslaughter against William Hawkane.—(Nostkampton Merest ro.) An Inquest was held on Saturday se'nnight, at the parish of Erasington, before J. WHITFOaD, Erg, on the bod• of Serener. WIDDICONIBZ. The de ceased was on horseback in conversation with lkfr. RIVERS, in Ivy-bridge, Devon+liire, when the Re gulator coach passed by—the horse suddenly went back, and the deceased being weak and infirm, he fell from his horse, and received a mortal disloca tion of the neck.—Verdict, " Accidentally killed," and the horse forfeited in the sum of 20s. as a deo cloud to the Lord of the Minor. On Sunday last, in • fit of insanity, a tailor, named LOWTHIAII, at Sunderland, cut off the head of his cot. and afterwards cut his throat, but not effectually : it is expected lie will recover. On the same night a young gentleman, belonging to Sun derland, was stabbed in the buck with • knife, by a woman of the mos place : he is in • fair way of recovery. Jealousy is said to be the reason of ber rashness. ~~~ RIEKE 7 IP MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, MONDAY, OCTO$I& 29. JUVENILE RIOTERS. . Yesterday Mrs. Raabe Webber ; James Webber, her eon Mrs. Jame Denman, the wife of James Denman; John Has sell, James Jeks, John Ladwell, James Harris Charles Ds. vie, George Bums, Charles Orme, John Biros Martin Siena, Hannah Denman, Thomas Browne, Wen. Grant, Frances Grant, Wm. Bawdy, and James Selwood, were in dicted for assembling in a riotous manner before the bons* of Mrs. Esphemia Middleton, of No. 11, Biompton-row, in the parish of Kensington, on the 13th, 1511 i, 16th, and 17th days of August last, and breaking her windows. Mrs. Webber, Win. Bawdy, and James Selwood, beisg improperly described in the indictment, they pleaded it in abatement, and were discharged. Mr. Artorettue, the Counsel for the prosecution, said, it was nut his intention to produce any evident* against the two defendants of the name of Grant. They were accord ingly taken from the bar, and the Jury returned a verdict of acquittal. The remainder of the Defendants, except Mrs. Denman, were from the op of 10 to 14. The Court was crowded to excess, on account of the singularity of the case, so many children being put to the bar. The dock was completely filled with fine healthy-looking youths, who from their countenances, did not appear as if they thought they had committed • fault. Mr. ADoLealts opened the ease for the prosecution, and elated, the only muse he could God out fur the dreadful at tack made on the house and property of his client was, that abs kept a number of eats; but if she did, she kr pt them on bar owl, protasis's, not to the annoyance of her neighbours. TM Learned Comael then stated the circumstance'', which were as follow, u appeared by the evidence of the witnesses. Mrs Euphemla Middleton star d, that she lived at No.ll, Brumton-row, and had resided there for 20 years, and paid 1601. alter fur rent and taxes ;. be is a widow. Ou else 13th of August last, between the Mitre of five and six o'clock in the evening, many boys bud, girls collected before her house, to the number of 150, and by the time it became dark there were between 700 sod 1,000 of theil collected, and they did not disperse until after ten o'clock at night. They began by throwing stones at her front door, which fell into the area and broke the kitchen windows; afterwards by throwing stones broke the remainder of the windows in the front of the house, and also the shutters. One of the brick bats struck her and Meted her materially; and it was con temned up by the Defendants and others on the other days laid in the indictment, by calling her " Mother Middleton," Mother Cats," lice. ann other opprobrious names. Ow her erouessminatior by Mr. BILODIRICIL, she said she was 70 years of age; the way she was enabled to identify the Prisoners was, that she took • telescope, placed it on a trunk, and ►rota • widow in the second story ef her house else was enabled to observe that the defendants, except there of them, were most forward ott the attack made on bee house; the three she could not identify were Howl!, Jeks, and Webber. She supposed at one time, during the evening of the 13th of August last, there were not less than 700 to 1,000 boys and girls attacking her house; they broke 31 panes of glass and also the shutters. She then produced two baud kerchief', full of stones and brickbats. Miss Wilkioson of No. b, York-street, Hans-place, Chel sea, Misted, that she was passing the house of Mrs. Middle tom ow the evening of the 13th of August; there were ■ great number of young people about the house, they were calling out, " Old Mother Cats," " Old Mother Middleton," sad were thrvwi•g moors at the windows; she saw the de fendants, Hassell, Jeks, mid Webbet, there; they appeared active is the riot. Mr*. Elizabeth Wilkinsna, the mother of the last witness, corroborated her testimony. Several other witnesses were examined, but their evidence went to the same facts. Mr. Bitstock:al, Counsel for the Defendants, stated, that the P►osecutrix was • lady of receipe habits, and to time of old might be taken for a witch; but he agreed with his Learned Friend, Mr. Adolphus. that her having a !Aim/ to eats was not • 1111/011 that she should lint have the protection of the law. He was, however, sorry that to giving her evi dence she had nut stated ►ow it originated, but left to him the painful task of disclosing it. The female child at the bar was walking in Quern's, raw, Srumpion, with her infant Melee in her arms, when she wearied',d by the Prosecutrix, who made the blood Row fume ter forehead, her ears, and also deprived her of part of her hair by tearing it out by the room. The viol, nee of the Proseentrix was so great in he► attack on the child, Hannah Denman, that she was obliged to let her infant sister fall ►rum her arras, and she was only relieved from bee perilous situation by a lady of the same of Ma►tineau, who allowed them to lake refuge in her house. It was true that the child might have on passing the Prusecu trix made use of the term Mother Cads, which certainly was wrung, bat it was not a crime that had been taken into the contemplation of the Legislature, and maid not be an apology for a violent assault on a child with her arms. Then what the Pi osecertsix complained of she brought on herself He wonld be the last man to say that that was sullicie•t to authorise the attack which bail been made on her house; that was nut his defence ; he would prove that I of the Defendants were not near the place, and if he sbewed the Peusecutrix was mistaken as to the ideality of some of the Defendants, it would be for the coo. sidermion of the Jury whether she might have not been mis taken as to the iiienty of the others. He would call his wits , and he had no doubt but the Jury would retu►u a verdict of acquittal. Mary Adams stated, that she was servant to Mrs. Marti nese, of Queen's-buildings, Brompton; that she heard the Defe•d.at, Hannah Denman,mreaming in the street on the day laid in the indictment; site opened the street door by the direction of her mieticss, •nd admitted her into the beetle; she had an infant in her arms; she was so much frightened when she came Into the hone• as not Si, be able to articulate further than "fur God's sake keep the Lady Out of the house!" meaning the Prosecutrix. The child's fore head and ears were bleeding; when she admitted the child. len into the house of her mistiest, Mrs Middleton was stand ing on the step of the door, with • number of persons around her. She afterwards knocked at the dour, and the witness by the desire of her mistress opened it, and shut it iii her fate. A fillow.oervaot ottlbe lavt witness corroborated her tn. limo's,. George Grey, agent to the Court of Requests, slated, that on the 13th of Augurs be saw the Preeecutrix at the steps d N the at house in Queen's budding@ beating the Defendant, Hannah Denman, in a moat cruel manner ; she beat her with her hands, pulled her ears until the blood floued from them, pulled her hair out by the mote, and knocked the infant out of her arms. She was only rescued from her violence by the door of Mrs. Martineau's being urn to give her a re. treat. Several of the parents of the other juvenile Defendants proved that they were at home during the evenings laid is indictment. Mr. ADOLPHUS replied. The CHASSIDIM summed up the evidence in bit usual im partial manner. The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty as to all the de fendant., which beiug made known to the persons outside of the Court, there wax a general shoot of approhation. Mr. ADOLPHUS complained of the acquittal. He said it was obvious from the feeling which bad been just expressed out of Court, that his dicta could not remain in the neigh bourhood of Brompton its safety, where she bad hitherto re mained fur such a number of years. The Prosecutrix, who appeared to be suffering under a vast deal of agitation, declared that she did not consider her life would be safe it she returned home after the acquittal Id the defesidauts. The harvest is now over, and crops of every de scription gathered. Second crops of clover, brims, •ud potatoes are in general cleared off the ground. The produce is good in quality, and abundant is quantity. A finer autumnal aced-Nue cannot be remembered. As usual, in dry autumns, water is scarce.—(lVetecastk Chronicle./ 1 1Pu POLICE'. .m•nislin.• so*-snast. testerriay the Silting Magistrates were Sir Richard Birnie, Beckett, Esq. and Halls, Esq. the newly ap pointed Magistrate to this office. George ingrain and Joseph Ashford were charged on sus picion of rubbing the shop of Mr. Morris, • silk-mercer, iu Holywell.street, upon several 0CC11410119. Mr. Owen Morris stated, that his shop had lately been robbed of two lengths of satin, one of twenty yards, and the other of fifteen yards, which he suspected had been stolen by two men who had been at his shop on two preced ing mornings at no early hour, and in commipience be gave directions lobs informed when they came again. This morn ing, about twenty minutes put seven o'clock, he was in formed the same two men were in his shop; be went on his stairs to watch them; they proved to be the Prisoners, who appeared to be dealing with his brother, who accompanied the Prisoner Ashford from the back shop to the front, leav ing Ingram in the back shop; they at length purchased a small quantity of satin, and were leaving the shop, but be stopped them, telling them his shop bad lately been twice robbed, and accused them of the theft ; he then sent fur a unstable, and had them ram, into motody. Robert Morris, brother to the Prosecutor, stated, that on Friday morning the Prisoner, Ashfued, tame into the shop at haltpast seven o'clock, and purchased half a yard of rialto. On Saturday morning, at the same early hour, both the Pri soners came into the shop and purchased half a yard of satin and • quarter of a yard of velvet. After they were gone two pices of green satin were missed from • shelf close in where the Prisoner, Ingram, stood, and who could easily have reached them unperceived while be was tugaged in serving the Prisoner Ashford. James Garrett, • lad in the employ of the Prosecutor, stated, that the Prisoners came while he was opening the shop, and confirmed the above. They were committed for further examination. Charlotte Briggs was charged with robbing Mr. Ken. stilton Lewis, of George-street, in the Adtlphi, and who also has a residence in Kentish Town, where his children are principally kept. The Prisoner was in his employ as • servant, and had the care of the children for two years and a balf, during which time she hied been rubbing him in various ways, and ill-treatieg the children, which was discovered and brought to light in rather an ellrsurilinary manse rtaasThe Prosecutor and his Lady took one of their little girleNo school to France, when the child told her parents, that, being then out of the reach of the Prisoner, she would tell thews of the bad conduct of the Prisoner, which she was before staid to do, owing to the threats from the Prisoner, ouch se " flaying her alive," and other horrid acts of punishment; mad had bee• iu the habit of beating her most true Ily,knocking her down and kicking her, which acts of cruelty she had exercised over her brothers ■nd sisters, and stated other acts which caused suspicion that considerable depredations had been committed, which were confirmed o• their return to Eng laud on their causing an iuquiry to take place, when they discovered that instead of three quarts of nia a day wn . en they bad allowed for the children, she hid only taken one, oat of which milk was taken foe the family's tea ; •o that the children were kept upon little better than brad and water. On searching her box there were foiled a gold ring, necklaces, silk stockings, a quantity of lace, lace caps, &r. the privily of Mrs. Lewis, also several articles of childieu's wearing apparel. The Prisoner was committed to Menai, for trial. A gentleman of the name of Buyion, who, we understamd, is residieg ift Ifuik.street, or York•pl.ce. Lambeth, stated that a few days since he had lust his pocket-book near the Asylum ; it contained a security of upwards of thirteen hun dred pounds, a bill upon Ireland fur 250/. besides several other valuable papers He did nut advertise it, being ad *lied not to do so, and conceiving that if it was found by a respectable person it would be returned, and if nut so, he should not recover it. On Saturday a man called at his house during his absence, and in a couversateon with his wife, he acknowledged that he knew the person who had found the porket-buok ; he inconsequence told his wife that if the man called with his p.ecket-Meek,•ud its contents, that she might give him ten or fifteen shilling., which lie thought sufficieut, or she might even emend it to twenty shillings. The Magistrate to reply told him, that the man he com plained of detaining his pocket-book and its contests had been at the office before him, and had slated his care, and as to hi■ conduct he had nothing to say, it probably might have bees otherwise; mid a■ to Mr. lloytou's cow duct be did net think it had been that of • generous gentle man, and he thought the sum of fifteen shillings, which the man stated was the most that bad been offered him, by vouch too little at any rate Nettie trouble lie had had in making in. qui►ies for four or five days before he found him out, iu ad dittoes to the muneuse value of the rape's. Mr. Boron treated the value of the parent with indiffer- epee, saying he could get some renewed, and others he could get the payment stopped. The Magistrate informed l.im he could render him no as sistance in compelling the man to deliver them up, and his only remedy would be by an action at law, in which he thought he would experience considerable difficulty in prov ing that the man was possessed of the papers. Mr Huston intimated that he shuuld pre fer applying to the Lord Chancellor fur oini injunction to that of rewarding the man, as suggested by the Magistrate. UNION-HALL. A GAMBLING HOUSE DISTURBED. Yesterday *Weals young men dreamed i• the suitcase of fashion, were brought up to this other charged as rogues and •azabunds. It appear►d, that for some time past the inhabitants of Lam beth-road hare been annoyed by the ontrageuese scenes which were nightly carried on au the house of a per sun named Dm nerd, near the Gus Tavern; and front what teanspired, it re gaited no great penetration to discover that ibe place was a receptacle fur gamesters. A complaint was accordingly made to the Magistrates of this Office, who itoeseil a general search warrant, and at nine o'clock on Saturday eight she whole posse coffinifalur proceeded to Baruard's house to put the same into execution. By a dexterous main:entree they gained admission, and entered the play-room before the com• piety were disturbed; their first ohji-ct was to seize she bank, which contained a large suns of moony, then the cards, dice, and other gasoblitig utensils, which, being screwed, they next produced the warrant, and called upon she company to surrender. No opposition was made, and they were all tarried off to the luck-up house in coaches. One person named O'Callaghan ran off, but had the misfortune to come in contact with a punt, by which he sprained his aim, and hurt his ribs very much; he was •f.er wards taken and lodged with the rest. The penmen now exhibited a strange mixture. There were Cnplaisa who never shot a coclesparrusr, Lawlor, who never took a brief, Doctors who could Lever get a let, and the rest were " young Irmo upon tone." There were, however, two or three unthinking youths of respectable families, who had been led into the concern by some of the Professors, and two rulers is the bench ; the former seemed much ashamed of their situations, but the taller, who were not quite so squeamish, took things in good part. The Prisoneis made vatiou• excuses, hut none of them could deny the specific part of the charge. The Magistrates then ordered the whole party to find goad sureties, and Barnard, the landlord, was required to give t 4 hours stake of his bail. ROBBERIES.
