The Learned Counsel, in an eloquent ;:a•einent, opened the case to the Jury. and having proved the preliminary steps relative to the bankruptcy, petitioning creditor's debt, commission, &c. next called' the bankrupt. 51r. ABBITBALL, formerly a merchant, proved. that in ifto, the three defendants kept a house for gambling in King street, St. James's. Witness had seen Rouge et Noir played at that house. The defendants acted as owners of the house and proprietors of the bank. Visit ors 'night play for any sum from ss. to 1001. The usual ti ;.e of beginning to play was nine in the evening, and it rested at two. If the bank was out before two, they Would sometimes leave off as soon as it was exhausted. Me bad sometimes seen them replenish the bank to re rover their loss; but they never failed to leave off if the bank was a winner, which happened 19 times out of 20. owing to the advantages of tho game, or the intoxica tion or phrenay of the players. There was always wine on the table free. Two or three days before the 3d of November, 1820, witness met Holdsworth. who pressed hill to go to the house, witness having discontinued his chits is consequence of being a loser of many thcusands. Witness went to the house on the 3d of November and p'ayrd. The defendants were present, presiding over the game. Witness took 1000/. into the house, and when gritted it he had 130/. left, having lust 870/. Wit. n-ss scent again to the house on the 21st of November, mist look about4ool.

Cross.exaalined.—Has the honour to he an African by birth. hiss been in Paris, hut never was connected with a . gambling-house there, though lie had some securities on one. Witness bartplayed in Paris, and won and lost a gocd deal. Was now about 30 years of age. The mo ney be expected to raise by bisections against gambling houses was not equal to what be had lost by 40,0001. Never made an offer of taking money from the defend ants, though they had made repeated offers to him. Was at Abbot's house last night, in consequence of the at g.iciations existing between them. Holdsworth proposed to give the creditors 7501. Witness neveragreed to take any certain sum. Witness had proposed to take a thou sand pounds, subject to the approval of his creditors. Hati been to Holdsworth's house several times in the last ten days. Had mentioned the reluctance he bad to appear as a witness on this occasion. Had brought ac tions against rime house himself, and his assignees had brought actions against four other houses; only one action had been settled; had received money as a loan from a house in which he bad lost several thousand pounds. They would not lend him money till be gave them a release, Did not take and one to be a whiles& of his lasing. Did not take the Attorney's clerk IS a wit ness; he went by accident oqe day to N0..5, ling-street; his name was Duncan. Had said to Holdsworth, that Duncan and fifty other persons had seen him play, and loses great deal of money, but never told Holdsworth he bad given money to Duncan tbat he might play, and re- main unsuspeated. Lots of people might have followed him, curious to see him hue so much money. Never won much money on balmier, though be 'sight bare a particular night : on one occasion be wen Moen hun dred pounds in one house in one week. 'The 40,0991. he had lost c.ainkinto his bawl" him ay of consmeeee. Since his bankruptcy he had played twice, and might have lost 150/. His father had given him considerable sums since his bankruptcy. If it pleased Hod. he would pay his creditors 20s. in the pound, notwithstanding they had released him. On a former occasion witness stopt for 50.0001.: he then as signed to his creditors all his property, and they had, he believed, received 1 shillings in the pound under that assignment. The assignment was made is 1310, and his creditors were still receiving money under it. Re-examined.—Tbe creditors received the money paid to compromise the action alluded to. Witness had no interest in any of the actions. Went to Mr. Abbot's lut night at his particular request. Duncan had not been in Sir. Wrickson's office for some years before he went with witness to Abbot's. Hobert Duncan and another witness gave evidence as hatingto seen Abbithall, at No. 5, King-street, and that the defendants acted as conductors of the play. 51r. SCARLETT, for the defendants, impressed on the Jury that there was no proof of Abbithall's losses but his own testimony, and that the bankruptcy case was It erely- a contrivance to enable him to be his own wit- Leh. Davis had been joined in the action as a eo-part i er with Abbot and Holdswortb, but it would be proved that he was only a weekly t. A man named `Swains and Thomas Holdsworth, bro ther to one of the defendants, deposed that Dal is was a corfidential servant. Sir.

One situate, No. 28, Bury -street, St. James's ; tte other, 71, Pall-mall : at both these houses he would prove the game of rouge a Noir going on, and would show Mr. Abbitball losing large sums of money, which the Assignee sought to rticover by the present action. *fr.

It •,rpeared, that on the 30th September the prisoner, with writer boys, were looking at a rowing match at Chelsea. Several boys beset the prisoner, tracing- and fighting him. He threatened to stab them if the y . did nut keep off. They persisted is pursuing bin', and lie stabbe.l too of them with a penknife, without, !loom:, doing theirs any material Injury.

The guilt of the prisoner was fully and molt satisfac torily proved. He was immediately fosad Utility, and senteuced to seven years' transportation. SHOCKING CATS OP RIPS. Edward Edridce, a man advanced in years, was put to the bar, on an Indietwent, charging him wish the ca- pital offence of assaulting, and against her will, car nally. knowing, Martha Mahon, a girl, only 13 years of age, in thesarish of St. Pancras, on the 23d of Septem ber hit. Mr. Cs MI. Prawn conducted the pnssecotion, and called the following witnesses:— Martha Mahon.—ln September WA, the wheels lived in the same house with the prisoner, who passed as her father-in-law, and she did not knoi th ibe contrary bat be was. On a Monday, in September, the witness awoke, and found the prisoner in bed with her. She was asleep when be came into bed. He had nothing l on but his shirt. When the awoke, she found the prisoner taking liberties with her. (The unfortunate young girl here described the nature of the assault, which from motives of delicaey we forbear describing]. Her mother was in a dying state at the time, and she (the witness) waited and attended on her. Her poor mother I died about a fortnight after the assault. She saw h-r sister on the Sunday following, and informed her of the assault, who desired her not to mention it to any body else at the time; which advice she followed. The pri soner offered her insult about three days before. Oa that occasion he pusbed her on the bed, and palled up her clothes; but, she got away from him. She did not name it to the landlady, who was the only personin the house, because she was not on good terms with her mother. On her oath she had not misrepresented the last act- Cross-examined by Mr. PLarr.—On the occasion on which the prisoner threw her on the bed, she asked him what he wanted, and he went away. Mr. Murray slept in the back parlour. The witness slept in the front, and her mother in the back room on the first floor. Her father slept with her mother, although she was so ill. The reason she did not tell her mother was her illness. There was no talk about any property of her mother. What property her mother had, he had. The members of her family bad said that he ought not to have the property. The prisoner was taken into custody on the Sunday her mother was buried. Her sister was making tea, and she said, " My mother died of a broken heart. " Edridge got ep and went out of thecomn, when she ob d, " A guilty conscience needs no accusing." The prisoner was taken into custody about tee o clock, be baring been absent from the room during the evening. She thought it best not to tell Mrs. Murray, her land lady, until she had informed her sister, which she did on the evening of the day oa which the outrage was commuted. Oa her oath she resisted. Did not show her linen to her sister. Her linen was washed before the saw her sister. This seeming contradiction was explained. rte-esaasined.—Tberf ';}id blips. so dispute abot4 tlo 'roper', at the ti Witold her sister of the` , w%g.. Ann f the last witness, bore t . of the ottseve. appee nduced her to question her. *nem, and the witness took her oat of lisois, when she burst into tears. The remainder of the evidence of this witness was fully cor roborative of that of the last unfortunate witness. The Officer who took the prisoner into custody, swore that the prisoner admitted the charge in the wet*. house. -4 , • The *goon. who was ealled to examine the tinfortn. nate girl, proved the appearances he had seen, bat re marked that he had not been called on until a fortnight after. The prisoner, in his defence, said the prosecution was brought forward to prevent him obtaining the property of his late wife. He called Mr. Apish Manton, the eminent gunquaker, but his evidence did not go to put away in the least the heavy charge against the prisoner. Mr. JUSTICR PARK summed up the evidence to the Jury, with great minuteness and perspicuity, and put it to the Jury to say whether they would entertain any doubts of the guilt of the prisoner. If there were any reasonable doubt, the present was an occasion on which, more than in the generality of cases, the prisoner ought to have the benefit of it. Ile begged them to lay aside all prejudice, and say whether in their consciences they could entertain any doubt. The Jury found the Prisoner—Guilty, Death. The Court was crowded to excess during the whole of the Trial. ~ 1 `....y~ :~.~. POLICE. Bow-rramtv.—Mr. JohiiGroat, 55 years of age, was brought before G. R. MINSHULL, charged with having used threats to Miss Elisabeth Newberry, and Mr. Wood, her brother-in-law, in cousetineace of which they apprehended personal danger. Miss Newberry is a lady of respectable family, and resides chiefly on an estate of her own, adjoining the yil lege of Bennington , in Oxfordshire. Several years ago the defendant, then in a state of comparative poverty, contrived to get introduced to her, and pestered her for some time with his attentions, in spite of her positive and i ntlignant rejaction. At length the defendantmet with another lady, possessed of a fortunt of shoat NC a year, and against her (or it) he commenced operatfans. This lady, atter a short courtship, bestowed upon him her per son and her fortune. Bat in something less than 12 months, Mr. John Grant was once more turned loose and unshackled upou the world, a vigorous widower, of so mething more than Mt, with an income of MI. a year. With this additional attraction, he rentwed his attacks upon Miss Newberry, who rejected him in the most de cided terms. He followed her from oce place to an. other. At length, about fourteen months ago, it was found nee yto apply to the Magistrates for protee tion, and Mr. Grant was taken into custody, and bound over to keep the peace for one year. On the very day hit recognisance expired, he left London for Bensing ton, again to wttioy her with his importunities. He traced her subsequently to London, and up to the hoar u hen application was wale to the Magistrates, he had continued to persecute her in the way already described. Remonstrances were perfectly useless. To Miss New berry, he said several times, " if you will not have me l you must take care of yourself." Apprehension was heightened by the recollectio.i of an occurrence in the life of Mr. Grant, which at the time engaged the public attsutic.n. Some years ago he attempted to force his attentien. upon a slaughter of Viscount Dudley and Ward, and met as in the present case with a refusal. He male some violent attacks upon her In public, and a Mr. Too useod interfered to protect her. Upon which Grant drew forth a pistol, and fired at him, but luckily miss-d his object. He was tried for maliciously shoot ing and received sentence of death, but it was afterwards cualtuutea to transportation for a certain term of years. AN. • After bis return to title country be commutated his at- Licks upon Miss Newbury. Mr. (hint declared, in no very gentle terms, that the accusations were false. Ile accused Mr. Wood indirectly of perjury, and talked of the encouragement which hr stetted he bad reeeited formerly from Miss Newberry, whom, be aided, be loved most orden.ly, and would go all over **world to serve sad to render happy. Mr. Mitrauuta.asked Miss Newberry if she ever gave encouragement to his addresses ? Miss Newberry, bursting into tears, declared she never had. The sight, nay eves the awns of him, was abhor rant to her. Mr. Grant declared this to be %intent, sad, in proof of it, read the following conclusion of one of her letters : " that you may soon meet with a lady who can feel that tenderness for you which was entertained by your late wife is the earnest wish of " ELI& N ." Mr. MINISHULL said be thought Mr. Grant's interpre tation of this passage was* very odd one. Grunt went on declaring tbat his views were of the most honourable kind; he wished to make her his wife, ud he knew of ne law which could compel a man to de sist from paying his addresses to ► lady, if it was his pleasure so to do. Mr. MINIMIILL.—Bat there is a law, Sir, to protect a lady from insult and persecution. Grant.—Tbers is no law to compel a man to desist from paying his addresses to a lady, and you will be wrong if you exercise any sorb authority. Mr. Mt:sancta. asked kr. Woolf and Miss Newberry if, open their oaths, they could declare that they appre hended their lives to be in danger in consequence of the threats of the defeodant? They both answered, and Miss Newberry did so very emphatically, in the affirmative. • Mr. filitiontit.&—Then. klr.Grant, I most order yen to find sureties to keep the peace, yourself in 2001. and two responsible persons in 100/. each. II r. Grant gild he should not find bail. bat would to to prison, mod was coomitted to the lioased Correction. He was apprehended at 121, Sloanwstreek, and threat ened to poke out the officer's eye with his umbrella when he went to apprehend him. Miss Newberry is about 30 years of age, rather hand some, but in delicate health, and her demeanor appear ed to be that of an amiable and accomplished Truman. MARLBOIOIIOIII4TREZT --On Saturday'. a young man of decent appearance was brought op from St. Ann's watch house to answer for having assaulted his wife, and likewise with insulting some watchmen. The defendant was chairman of a singing club, or a "Free and Easy," held at a house in Dean -street, Soho, a few paces only from the residence of Sir George Far rant, the Magistrate, who was frequently awoke by the melody. On Friday night, the wife of the Forisoner made Ler appearance and ordered the president home immedi ately ; a quarrel ensued, sad she was eventually pat oat of the place. The Magistrate sent fox the publican on finding that a " Free and Easy" was held in his house, and on hie arrival informed him it was an illegal meeting. The landlord asked how be was to get his living if he refused to entertain hie customers? Pb. Magistrate answered that public bonen received licenses for the accommodation of the public, but they were allowed to furnish no more than a neces sary share, The landlord eaW there was not a more persecuted body of men than publicans. They could now scarcely support their families, and pay heavy rents, but it would be impossible to do so if they weredeprived of such little privilefes. Ho always kept his house respectable, and bike,/ as be'did so. he sixfold not esert himself to de rive his customers of the little „patiedastiou they de., rind from a song. The Magistrate advised him to be cautious, and keep his hone respectable. Landlord—He always bad done so; this affray was an accidental feature since he bad been there. He left the oSce apparently with a determination to continue the meeting. The prisoner was discharged on pa ying Is. his wife not appearing against him. Utetotonst.s.—On Saturday, Jaasea Cook Clarksoo, whose case was reported in our Paper of Friday last, was again brought before L. B. Allen, Esq. for a re-exa mination on the charge of having fraudulently ob tained the saga of 1001 . from Mr. John Anderson, under psetencTof procuring for him a situation in the Revenue. A Gentleman attended upon the part of Govern- ment. Mr. Anderson haring .prodneed the letter which be bad mentioned as having been received by him from the prisoner, the prisoner acknowledged it to be his hand writing. This gentleman who attended upon the part of the Treasury, requested that the case might stand over for a few days, andadded that Government deemed it necessary that the prisoner should be prosecuted under the 49th of Geo. 111. cap. 26. sec. 4, which statute enacts that " P.-r -unts receiving or paying money for obtaining any of fice 'Wee Government, or in consideration of solicitation for obtaining any such office, or of negociations or pretended negociations relating thereto, shall be guilty of misdemeanour." Mr. Anderson begged to correct a mistake he bad made in his former examination. "It was on the 24th of July his advertisement had appeared in the news paper'. ' A gentleman was in the office, who said he attended in consequence of seeing the account in the Papers, and added he had been defrauded by a similar contrivance about two years ago. He identified the prisoner, who was remanded till next IVednesday, at the request of all parties. SUGAR TOR PRESERVING FISII.-1)r. Mac 01110 Ch, of Edinburgh. has ascertained that the antiseptic qnslity of sugar is sufficient to preserve fish in the most excel. let t condition. lie states that this substance is so active, that fish may be preserved in a dry state, and perfectly fresh, by means of sugar alone, and even with a very small quantity of it. He had thus kept salmon, whitings, and cod, for an indefinite length of time; and by this ' simple means fresh fish may be kept in that state some days, so as to be as good when boiled as when just caught. It is added, that, "if dried and kept free from mouldiness,thrre seems no limit to their preservation ; and they are much better in this way than when salted. The sugar gives no disagreeable taste." " This process is particularly valuable in making what is called Kippered Salmon ; and the fish preserved in this manner ire far suprrior in quality and flavour to those which are salted or smo'aed. If desired, as much salt may he used is to give the taste that may be required : bit: this substance does not canduce to their preservaliou. `• In the preparation, it is harely nee 44444 y to open the fish, amt to 4 plOy the .agar to the tuageillar part, placing it in • horizontal position for two or three days, that this substance may penetrate. A , ter ale it may be dried ; ant it is only further necra.ary to wipe and ventilate it occasionally, to prevent znouldi nest. " A table spoonful of brown sugar is sufficient, in this plainer, for a sa'tnon afire or six pounds weight; and if salt is desired, a tea•spoontul or usore slily be added.
