The evidence of several witnesses, examined for the plaintiff, .went to show 'haulm occurrence by which the child was injured was purely accidental ; namely, that the defendant was driving very quietly, but seeing some fowls and chickens in the way, he turned the gig in order to avoid hurting them; whembo Oncon *cleanly, drove the gig over the plaintiff% child, by which It was seriously injured, and afterwards conveyed to, the Middlesex Bee pits!, yen whence it was removed after remaininesorne bate by the plaintiff, and taken home, and afterwards was for a length of time an out patient of the hospital. ; The plaintiff, it wad proved, pas a poor labouring man, with a wife and three children, all living it one room ; audit was proved, that the plaintif himself, sod sometimes his wife, were hindered day by day, in rakish the child' to and bi Inging it back from the hospital. Evidence was also offered of the special damage which tho plaintife• tad sustained in bring obliged to absent himself from his business, and attend the child several hours each day while It was in the hospital. 111 r.

Mr. Gunn Er—My Lord, will your a laortieltip say that no allow" ante is to be made in this cane fur ',dreamt' feeling.--Ate not the natural feelings of emothet for a child to be consulted ? Is it to be said in this case, however low in circutnetehices a mother maybe, that she is to be deprived of the domestic cotnloet of. hiving her own chill under her own caro-s-but drat she must be compelled to send it to an hospital ? The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—I 'certainly ef)v. nbt say that; although 1 am of opinion that it'. massy very wealthy people, when they sect with accidents, were Sent to an hospital, where they i would be subject to the discipline and regimen of that beepital, they would recover much sooner than by being taken to their awn homes. and attended by their own stirgean. Mr. SCARLETT dell objected to the evidence, and 3lr. Go os EY very strongly contended, dint it should bc re : eeived. Aar:: ' The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE thin staid, 31r.

The witness then gave evidence as to the number of times the plaintiff and his wife had to attend the child to the hospital, and another witness said that die plaintiff; who was by tradea begs . horn bonnet presser, could earn during the - stimmer moon from lbs. to 20 per day. Anwher *muss was called to prove a conversation between the plaitutffand defendant on the subject of Ilia accident—he said he knew the plaintiff and the child well.

The very gist of it was the loin of this child's services. Now what could be said of the service of a e:ithl of the age of two years and a half? In ail eifoow of this ki.tel, where a father brought his action to recover damage' for the seduction of his daughter, per lewd rrrritinia ejss 'marl', there was a capability of perforoung theae services; but here the:very notion was ridiculous. 11.1 r. GURNEY and Mr. LAWE9 said a few words in reply. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE-1 am 'clearly of opinion that this action is not maintainable. It is founded on the loss of service. 'ln no case with which lam acquainted has it been held that thie setiaa can be maintained, . unless such services could be supposed capable of being actually rendered. From the tender age of this child, no stretch of inneeinatiot can presume the possibility of such =wives. ant bound therefore to say, that, in point of law, Winn can in this cue be maintained ; and must therefore direct . to plaintiff to be called.

ROUGE/110NT • This was an action of trespass brought by the plaintiff to recover the value of u mare, killed by a blow on the ham from the shaft of a chaise-cart belonging to the defendant.

Tamingham, in Kent, and both crossing at right angles ; in con ' sequerce of the plaintiff's servant not driving quite quick enough, the'shaft of the Can ran against the hind leg of the mare morti- Reation and death ensued. The plaintiff's witnesses imputed the accident to the negligent driving of the defendant,, whil.t the de fondant's entirely contrahicted them, saying the plaintiff's servant ' had his head turned another way, and not paying the least.attesitiots. to his horse till the moment of the accident.

Mr. Rodriguez, a Portuguese merchant, charged his tons with having acted in such a manner as very few sons are in the habit of acing. Mr. Rodriguez stated, that his eons, who are very young, re ceived the very best education and the very highest indelgence. They were born ip St. Thomas's, and had teniperi of the most . violem kind. Since their arrival in this country, where they be came acquainted with the resistance which they might make to a parent's authority, they had rebelled against their father, and all expostulation or intreaty hail no effest... They swore iii the most desperate manner, that they would put an- end to him by Folsom if not with the knife, and they took delight in oppeaing him in every thing and in abusing him, and charging him with the most unpardonable offences. .lie declared to the Lord Mayor. that he considered that he was not safe a moment in their company, par ticularly as one of them bad armored him, that he would take him off with a dose of laudanum. IRs heart was broken by their tun. duct, and be could not prevail upon himself to punish them, as' they were his own flesh and blood. He was anxious to place in the hands of the Lord Mayor a sum of money to any amount for their support, if' his Lordship would dispose of them in such a manrfer as to prevent them from pursuing him with such deadly vengeance. . . One of the boys--I awn* you, my Lord, that my father is One Of the greatest ruffians in esistence ; he ieconstantly at work upon us with thelash of his whip, and gives us such horrible food as we cannot use; we are denied all recreation by him, and, in fact, our lives are as miserable as if he were our regular task -master, with. out having any natural 'tie of affectisit. Mr. Rildrigetez in teate, called upon 4 fttend who had witnessed his conduct to his eons; to bear testimony to the falsehood of *the charge. . • . This gentleman said,. that the father had always shown the greatest tenderness for his childre, as. indeed, might by collected trom•their education. appearanek and dress. 'The boys boldly dented thii account. Their father was, they ward. unworthy to be called a father. Ile was in the habit of, .curaing and kicking, and threatening to tatirdeilliem, and they were determined not to bear such horrible treatment any longer. They then addressed their father in the bitterest strain of' invec tive, called him an impostor and a villain, and told him they never again wool! lie under the name root with him. The Loan 31.scon asked whether there was any way of ac. counting for this ext conchict of the two boys. He was told there was none; that; e. abherrence of their father arose without any ascertainable am*. " The LORD Matron said%be- Isews•lieird of so singular a cir cumstance altogether, as that wirleirhird ken described. The boys said their conduct was dictated by their natural hatred of persecution.' There was no feelieg of affection toward them, and they of course dropped all thought of affection in the quarter particularly alluded to. In their . occasional rem a rks to the Lord Mayor, they represented their father as a person who took particular delight in acing cruelly towards them, and very eloquently painted their condition, as they called it. After some conversadon with Mr. Rodriguez, the Lord Mayor advised him to get rid of his two sons as soon as he possibly could. His Lordship recollected that they had been brought be fore him on a - Ginner occasion, when they appeared to be incorrigi ble, and he thought that the best way of seticg towards them, would be to use the lash of the whip, of which they had spoken, a ith a stsong and resolute hand., Mr. Rodrigues said he knew that if he treated them with se verity his life would be in imminent danger. lie begzed the Lord Mayor would name a sum of money as a security for his tare of his children, and order them to some employment. It was finally arranged, that one of them should be bound ap. Prentice to such busic.e.s as he might fancy, and that the other should he sent to his mother, at St. Thoma..'s. 1 The boys agreed to this plan, hut said 'their tither was so capri cious a man, thatke would change his mind the moment after he left the Manion Houle, and that be actually did nut deserve the name of is human being.

On his mentioning the circumstance all the servants declared they could not *mum for it, and he ( Mr.. Taylor) determined on watching to discover the author of such an unfeeling act of cruelty.

Mr. Taylor said cats and dngs innumerable had fallen victims to this cunous and cruel disprerition of the boy's. Mt.

INTERESTII4O CASE.—A poor woman, apparently about 23 years of age, named Sarah Siseelair, who had been twice brought before the Alagistrates of this Office, having attempted to destroy ' herself, was a third time conducted befiwe them by the constable of Christchurch watchhouse, having made another unsuccessful at tempt to drown herself, from which she was rescued with difficulty. A watchman of the above parish stated, that on Sunday night, when on duty near the foot of Westininater Bridge, ou the Lam. beth side, he observed the unfortunate woman walk deliberately down the stairs, and plunge into the river. Ue gave the 'alarm, when a man, who now declined coming forward, immediately jumped in after her, and succeeded in getting her on shore. For a length of time she seemed to be dead, but having conveyed her to ' the watch-house and used restoratives she soon revived. The constable of the night stated that when she partly recovered the effects of immersion f. , S expressed great anxiety to proceed about her business, but he refused to allow bar, as she then had every apperisaire of being disordered in her intellects, from her in coherent mealier. The constable added that as soon ns the woman was brought into the watchhouse he recognised her as having attempted to strangle herself some short time ago at her lodgings in the New Cut. 11Irs. Sarah Denney, of No. If, Robert-street, New Cut, whose husband is a silver chaser, stated, thnt she was the sister of Sarah I Sinclair, and would be happy to take her borne, but was not in cir cumauinces to maintain her without some assisnuice from the pariah. She added that all her sister's misfortunes arose in conse- , nitence of having been abandoned by a military officer, who se duced her, and by whom she had two children, both of whom lie had taken away from her, and sent them on the Continent. This 'latter circumstance sho said weighed heavily upon her sister's mind, in addition to which her seducer deserted her without giving her tiny allowance, or making the slightest provision for her sup port, her sister fatted), ha d endeavoured to support herself by making soldiers' foraging caps, but this was such a precarious wsy of imbsistiog that, had it not bein for her (Mr& * Ksosey'a) assist- I ante, she would have often gone without a meal. 71be Magistrate having asked her the name of the person.by whom she had been so scandalously treated, Sinclair at first hesitated to disclose it, but at length she con. sented to write down the name and address of the author of her misfortunes, which WAS handed to the Magistrate, who, having read it, pointed out to the unfortunate creatute the sin and wicked. ness of the attempt which. Ace bad made upon her life. He then asked her if site thoughtifiewlhould be happier in the next world, if she committed self-dii(rartion ? _ . In reply, she said that. sfr . ,; had long contemplated suicide, in con sequence of her troubles and distress, and that she was quite tired of life. Being further interrogated by the Magistrate, as to whether the would consent to go home along with her sister? she answered in the affirmative, repeating the facts before stated by dlrs. Kehsey, relative to the treatitent she had experienced from her seducer, and expressing a hope that lie would now be induced to do something for her. She thought it a hard case that her two children should be banished from her sight without even the consolation of hearing whether they were dead or alive. Mr. Chambers undertook to write to the gentleman alluded to, whose name, at the request of thi Magistrate to our Reporter, we forbear mentioning, ualess she is compelled to apply for parochial relief. • . , I t 4 14) • r . . • ROM LAS?'

CORONERS' /NQ VESTS. —•••••••.-- DIEATPFUL ACCIDTNT ON THE RlVER.—Yesterday after noon an inquest was held at the Black Home tavern, Poplar, before Mr. Un win, the Coroner, on the bully of Sarah Reed, the daugh ter of a respectable tradesman of that name in Greenwich, aged 2%, who, It appeared, hat, come to town on Monday se'imight in com pany with two oilier female acquaintances, to purchase her wedding suit, as she was to have been married on the Thursday following, but unfortunately was drowned on. her return home in a boat-on the river Thames. Mrs. Spearman, one of the females who accompanied the de erased, deposed that, on the day before mentioned, about two o'clock in the afternoon. she, the decease:l, and two others hired a boat at Wapping New Stairs to take them to Greenwich, and on going down the river the waterman made the boat fast to a sail_ log barge, and while going at a rapid rate the wherry struck against lighter that was coming up the river, and the boat was upset, and witness and all of them was thrown out into the water. They were all ticked up, except the deceased. in a state of extreme exhaustion. The deceased sunk to rise no more. The Waterman was quite sober, and, as far as witness could judge, there wai no blame attributable to him. . Tur:le, the waterman, was newt called, and stated that he took the party into his boat ; some were going to Greenwich, and the other to Woolwich, and in order to get down the river the quicker, as the tide was on the turn, he made his boat fast to the stern of a sailing barge, a practice he said not unusual among we ternnen, but contrary to the regulations of the river, an 1 in getting into Limetiouse-reach the barge took a short tack, and at this mo. -pew •lighter was passing, against which his wherry struck, and she was upset. On seeing the dingo., he did all in hie paws; to avoid it, but it was so sudden be could not possibly prevent the accident, The Jury, in just terms, censured the conduct of the Water man, and observed, that they hoped the publicity of the ease would draw the a:tention'ot the water bailify cr other officers, whose duty it was to put a stop to such practice., so highly dangerous to his Majesty's ►ubjects, and by which many accidents, attended with death. had occurred. They then returned a verdict of "Ac, cidental Death." SI:I'I'OSED MURDER.—Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, an blue -4 WM held at the Lamb public-house, New Tu rn stile, Hol born, before Thome Stirling, Esq. Corona, on the body of Mary Welch, *young woman, supposed to have bum murdered by James, hest husband. Tire .fur' were occrepiiti nearly nine hours In the investigation of th- ease. the evidence of the witnesses went to prove that the de ces.ll was the were of a James Welch, a baker (at present is cus tody on suspicion of the murder), who resided with her in the above neighbourhood. Reports having been circulated that the deceased; had teen murdered, and that her husband wished to conceal her death, infonnetion was given to the parish officers, who ramped the funeral. %Ve.cli and a woman named Ryan, who had taken an active part In the stair, were apprehended ; and on examin ' ing the body of the decease], a wound was found on the back part of her head and neck suflietent to cause death. The prisoner attri. b we it to accident. and there being some conflicting evidence, the Jury adjourned the Inqueat until to-mosrom, for the produc tion of further witnesses, who wereadsted to have clear testimony. The question subniittedio a iTtACOrated Assurance So ciety:was, whether the surplus capital should be divided before or aver death. Post obit bonds are not so valuable as Suiting% at sight, and no men is more sensible of this than-1141i, whose capi ta.* are all drawn and paid un demand. If we may judge from the great 'number of thirty thousands and twenty thousands circulated by Irish within the last eight months alone. and shat he mar he I expected to distvibute in the very next month front his spirited an. rangement of the present scheme, for which he is contractor, how eyer largely dircerent societies may divide atter dead).
