On Thursday a meeting of the Journeymen Silk Weavers re. aiding in Snitalfiehis, took place at Mr. Al•Kentie'a Chapel. Mile. end Now Town. to take into cunsideration the report of the Com mittee on the huSineps now before Parliament. respecting the repeal of the prohibitory laws, and other matters connected with the trade, Mr. 31 (rot, Chairman. Mews. Joys and WAL LACE. members of the Committee. stated that their petition sea presented to Parliament, praying that the Act of 1824 ight, previous to Its coning into force, be re. teemed to a Committee, to ascertain how far it would injure the in terests of the silk manufacture. Their request, however, notwith standing the most unremitting exertion* to prwenre supporters for it, in and out of Parliament, had not been complied with, and Mr. Hiokisson pore them down with a most triumphant majority. On this defeat, which had almn.t the effect of paralysis, they were about giving up all expectation or receiving any oinsideration from the tieverAntent, when their spirits were nvived by its being inti mated by the Vice-President of the Dowd rat Trade, that his 31a. jesty's 111inisters were most anxious to do every thing in their power to ameliorate their condition, and that with thus view a Bill would be introduced, making considerable alterations in the mode of collecting the duties, which they imagined would completely abolish the grievances now complained of. That Bill, they mil, Lad beer, since introduced, and read a second time. The SECNETARV thon proceeded to read to the Meeting the Act as now proposed, ted which bears the title of " A Table of Duties on Silk Goods." This, it was observed, would not alone be most beneficial to the trade, but would be also extremely productive to the revenue, inasmuch as it would Prevent the losses the latter must experience, either from fraudulent invoices, which estimated the property at a much lower rate than it was virtually worth ; or trim the ignorante of Custom-house officers, who could not pos sibly know its value. It was then moved, and unanimously carried, that the Committee be empowered toga forward until the business In Parliament be tally settled. After which the meeting broke up, under the influence of happy and grateful feelings. IS THE WHALE A FISH? A question, as to the really genuine pretension of the while 'o the name of fiah, has recently been raised and tried. as appeal. by the public panes, in New York, upon occasion of the attempt, upon the part of certain dealers in fialboil, to escape payment of the duty imposed upon that article of commerce, in respect of the oil of the whale, upon the ground, That the whale is not a fish. Of the legal acceptation of the term " fish," as including the animals railed whales, there could be little occasion to doubt ; and, this view alone, it might seem that a court of law must neces satily hold the affirmative. The point was disputed, however, woo the bailie of physiology and natural history; and an eminent naturalist of New York (probably Dr. Mitchell) was called to nip port the defendant's carte under that aspect- Not content with this, ratattr, a scriptural ground was taken by the same party lathe suit. It was said, that the creation of li.hes was spoken of, in De t.satti, in addition to the erection of whales; and that. consequently, to the view of the sacred writer, whales are not fishes. Bosh on. canal history and scripture history appe..r to have been listened to be the Court ; but, in the appeal to the latter, the defendant was unfortunate. A more precise elucidation of the scriptural arrange. tent of whales /CRS referred to; the animal, which the Old Testa ment descripta as swallowing Jonah, Is, in that book, called a whale ; and, in the New Testament, the same animal in reference, pa the same history, is called a fish. This decision, therefore, was m favour of the Collector of the Customs ! That a whale is a fish, is certainly the understanding of the law, cf scripture, of the world at large ; insamueh, that there will pro. habit , be no need of an Act of Parliament to constitute and declare the whale, as for the purposes of the revenue, a bah, all natural his. any to the contrary notwithstanding : similarly to the Act which, for certain national purposes, makes Malta an island of Europe, in the teeth of every geographical dictum ! " All the besets in the tad, all the births in the air, and all the fishes in the eta." are three popular and universal principal subdivisions of the animal king dom, in which the reference is rather mode to the element ir ha kited, than to the particular structure of the animal ; and, it this sentence were once set aside, we ahould probably find, that beside basing no whale.oil for flab-oil, we should have no fish-oil what. ever; theanimals which are called whales being nearly those alone which nature has supplied with oil, to the real exclusion of the tallies ; and our situation being not at all mended if we take in seal-oil, the claim of the seal to the name of fish, being even still less supportable than that of the whale ! Bat this question, at once scientific, legal, and commercial, as to the piscine character of whale.oil, having once been raked ; and its repetition in a court of law in England. and still more. its discussion as a matter of argument and curiosity. being possible and probable—it may amuse some reader', and instruct ethers, so draw together a few of those particulars which render certain, in phytiolegical or natural history, a separation of the whale from the hmgdom of fishes ; since, as under every other aspect, it certainly belong. to it. And first, in point of authority. we have Linnaeus, Fabricius, Pallas. Schreber, John Hurter, Shaw, and other modern nature 1a KS and physiologist., who uniformly exclude the whale from the I;ct of fishes ; while Willoughby, Pennant, and Botch are to be ated upon the other aide. " The cetaeenus animal'', or whales." says De. Shaw, o• howeier nearly approximated to fishes by mer ited form, and residence in the waters, are in reality to be consideren as aquatic mammalia ; for though, from their general shape, and naming want of feet, they appear, at first view, widely removed flatten that class, yet we find. on examination, that their whole inter ns/ structure resembles that of other matomalta, and that their ameshgon is formed on the same plan." " Their lungs, intestines, Esc." continues the same writer, " are formed on the seine plan as he quadrupeds. They have also warm Wood, and, like other mam dials, suckle their young. It is therefore unrecessary to add, that their true arrangement must be in the Name doss; but so strong is the vulgar or popular idea respecting these animals impressed on the mind, that, to this hour, they are considered fish by the mass Of mankind ; who, not having either time or inclination to become etnentifically acquaiatcd with the objects of creation, find some difficulty in conceiving how a whale can be anything but a fish !" -Qhfentiily Magazine. • ALARMING OcCußßENcx.—Oit Tuesday last, as Mr. mid Mrs. Busvine and a young lady were, in a four.wheel one.

The trial of the unnatural and cruel father and mother, Thomas and Mary Shipman, is just concluded. They were tried upon the first indictment, which contained four counts ; the first charged them with " intent to kill and destmy." The 2il count ciihrged them with abusing their children, " with intent to do them sore bodily harm." Upon the first count the prisoners were aditiaitted; upon the second count they were both foend The Court sentenced them to be confined for eighteen Calendar months, but the description of misdemeanor of which they had been runvic:ed, did not leave it in the power of the Court to add labour to melt punisment. The worthy Chairman in addressing the priamv•rs, told them, that if they could maintain themselves. la. boor would be exacted, but not even the gaol allowance would be extended to them, unless they earned it. The Court was crowded to excess during the trial, and when the sentence was delivered, the lower class in particular expressed much disappointment that the punishment was to he so far short of the prisoners deserts; a large concourse surrounded the caravan, which the inhuman pa. re n t s entered with di ff iculty , amidst the loudest execrations, and tie, were followed by hootings and other marks of disgust to the dunes of their prison.

The Lonn CHANCELLOR said that the Court would call for affidavits should it think necessary so to do. The Sot.te on-GE xsuAt. said it became necessary to bring in additional affidavits. because the witnesses swore directly the cur. tram to these of his Learned Friend.

In this ease, which has been several times before the Court, the ' argument was resumed on the part of the petitioners, their Counsel being Mr. Heald, assisted by Mr. Bose and Mr. knight; the prayer of the petit Moen, bring to supersede the Commission of Bank ruptcy issued against Mears. Hutchinson and Co., of Stockton, Northallerton and Stockley, in the county e York, bankers. The following circumstances were alleged In favour of superse j ding the Commission, viz., that the Commission had been con certed between the bankrupts and the petitioning creditor. That the petitioning creditor was a female servant to an attorney residing at Stockton, aid who had lodged the sum of 1001. in the hands of 31eitsra. Hutchinson, in February 1825. and that site was induced to strike the docket against the Messrs. Hutchinsonte, at the repre sentation of the attorney of the bankers; that she had herself no knowledge of any act of bankruptcy having taken place, and that indeed at that time no act of bankruptcy had been committed. That the opening of the Commission took place at the Tontine Inn, on the road to York, a considerable distance from Stockton, and at an hour in the evening wholly unusual for such a proceeding ; and the question was whether there was not strong grounds for sup. posing that the petitioning creditor was an instrument in the hands of the attorney for the bankrupts. That the bankrupts also had given an undue preference to several creditors, some of whom were nomed on the Commission. That these creditors, with the know ledge of the state of Messrs. Hutchinsons' affairs, had, upon an understanding, drawn money from the batiks, on condition of the notes being again paid in, in disliarge of debts owing to the firm by the friends of the creditors. It also appeared that the debts of the whole firm amounted to the sum of 3110.0001., and, therefore, it was contrary to all priMability to suppose that a docket would be struck by so humble an indivi dual at a menial servant in the family of Mr. Hurst, when there were claims of such magnitude upon the firm, unless by proton certed arrangement between the bankrupts, or their agents, and the petitioning creditor. The amount of the debts of the present pe titioning creditors amounted to the sum of 10,0001. The ground assigned for the removal of the assignees was. that some of them had been parties to those tramtacions, and therefore would not be disposed to sift the matter of those preferences to the benefit of the estate. SHAISWELL appeared for the petitioning creditor, and stated that she was the housekeeper of Mr. Hoist at Stockton. That having some money in the fortis she mild it out in February 1825, and placed the sum of 100/. in ilte hands tit' Messrs. Hutchinson. That, on the 17th of December last, having heard rumours unfa vourable to the credit of Hutchinson and Co., she sent twice for her money, but could not obtain it, the bank being shut up. That she mentioned the circumstance to her master, who eventually advised her to strike the docket, which was done by him. The Learned Counsel contended that there was no evidence whatever that there was any concerted arrangement between her and the bankrupts, and said that the circumstance of some of the persons who had been parties to the transactions between the 14th and 17th January, being named in the Commission, proved that the whole affair was one of a Loan * fide nature. Mr. HOGS (with whom was Mr. MONTAGU.) appeared for the assignees, and contended that there was not a shadow of suspicion to be thrown, either upon the petitioning creditor's debt, or upon the conduct f the assignees. They had been appointed by a very large msjority of the creditors, among whom stood four of the persons now petitioning fur their removal, whose debts formed 9,80111. out of the 10,0001. which had been stated to be the amount of the claims of the petitioning creditcrs. The fact want, that the other two persons' conjoined debts amounted only to 2001.; the one a butcher, the other a small former, who were disappointed, only be cause they had run a rare to strike the dock; t, but the petitioning creditor was in first. That, therefore, both in point of respectabi lity as well as in amount, the petitioning creditor was, at least, on a tooting with those two persons, who, in point of fact, were the principal parties in the present transaction. The Tontine Inn was notninated, because it was most convenient between the three places, Stockton, Northallerton, and Stockley, and the hour of the evening not an unusual one for the mete purpose of opening a Commission, Ale. ILEALD via partly heard in reply, when the Court rose. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, Arm 7. [Before Mr. Sergeant . 42l!l.9n re end lewd Chief Justice AnnoTT.] MANSLAUGHTER. Denis M'Corthy and Florence AI-earthy were indicted for the wilful murder of Daniel Sullivan, on the 11th March last, in the parish of Bromley. in this county. Mr. BROM:TUCK (with whom was Mr. LAW). shortly stated the awe to the Jury, and then called the following sittiesses ; George Grove is the landlord of the Rose and Crown puhlie house. Bromley. On the 11th of (larch Inst. witness noticed the two prisoners as being in his house on the ereuing of that day. The deceased was also there. A person named Florence Bryan was In company with them. Daniel Sullivan left the house at shout 20 I minutes pant eleven ; the prisoners left about half-past nine, and ' Bryan went with them. Knows a person of the name of Reardon; he and his son were present along with the prisoners that night. Cress.examined by Mr. Dann v—There were two or three ether persons present with the prisoner; nn that evening. Witness bad not supplied them with too much drink. Is confident that Bryan left within two or three minutes of the prisoners. Knows a man named Collins ; a person named Lyons wished Collins to pay Inc atiothtr pot of beer; Collins refused. Does rot recollect Daniel Sullivan getting 011 It's legs and trying to get at Collitot's pockets. Jeremiah Reardon was at the public house at the time kis father i was. ‘Vitruss, his father. and Daniel Sullivan, were in company. Knows the prisoners and Florence Bryan. Saw the prisoners at the public-house that night, between nine and ten o'clock. They left before witness. Daniel Sullivan, witness, and his father, left together. They passed the prisoners' house. Saw the prisoner, Denis M'Carthy, there, and another person, but does not know who that, other person was. Florence Bryan and Florence McCarthy, Florence Bryan's wife. Daniel Collins. and a boy. came out. Denis rWCarthy had a stick in his hand Thii,ks it vas a' black thorn. It was a large stick. Florence Nl.Carilly caught hold of witness's father, and said he was not going off so rosy as he bad done before. Denis McCarthy hit his father with the stick. They struggled for it, and Florence hit witness's father with the poker. Witness was helping his father, and Florence then struck witness with the poker also. iVititess went away for help. Daniel Sullivan was leaning against the paling, at a little distance, Witness soon returned without help, and found his father lying at the corner of a garden, mar the spot ; lie was bleeding vrry much. Sullivan war still bleeding up against the paling*. Witness was gone ;shout five minute* There was a ditch near where the light began. The deceased and Denis M'Carthy were in the ditch. Witness was afraid to go too near the ditch. W antra SKIP Denis striking the deceased, but doer' not know what lie struck hint with. He struck him many times; he continued to strike him for a quarter of an hour. - There were a great many persons about the ditch. some of whom took the deceased out. and brought him to witness's house. Levy Lyons was the man who took him home, and wit. ness went atter the surgeon. The deceased was all over blcattl and ditch water. This was on Saturday, and lie died use the next Tuesday. • Cross-examined— Witness is a labouring man, and has no parti. eular master. He had been at the Rose and Crown that night since six o'clock, but 11011 only had two pinta of beer. Knows a man named Daniel Collins ; he had a quarrel with him about Christ note last. It was a dark night, but the women brought lights. When Denis McCarthy beat witness's father. he and witness fought as well as they could. Does not recollect any thing passing about a challenge. Never swore that lie did not see who struck the deceased. Witness was about the length of the Court hem the ditch. Cornelius Reardon, the father of the last witness, gave similar testimony. Mary Sullivan—D the widow of the deceased Daniel Sullivan. Witness went on the night in question to the Hose and Crown public-house to loot after the demised. She went away. and left him at the publie-houre. Did net see her husband afterwards, until *Gum *man came and told her he was murdered. bile went THE BRITISH PRESS. and saw him in the rotd, and a man stamping on him. Site picked him up and was leading him home, when Florence M.l lathy came up anti struck him three times ; ;mother man, named Bryan. then came and tripped him up, and he tell into the ditch. lie was en. deavouring to get nut, when the prisoner (Denis ill`tartity) Caine up and tratepled upon him, and struck him for near a quarter of an hour. Wmiess tray afraid of her own life, and went home for assistance. Between twelve and one o'clock of the day on which the deceased died, he wished witness to get him out of his bed and make it for him ; phe did so; he requeuted tihe would make haste for he was a dead man. He was almost gone. He died ■ little before six o'clock no the same night. Before he died lie said to wit nvis that Florence Bryan and his lodgers were the cause of his death. The witness on cross-examination varied but little in her tes timony. Margaret Dodd —Lives at Bromley. Saw the deceased just after the first part of the affray. lie wait covered with blood. He slid Florence Bryan and his lodgers were after killing him. Both the prisoners were present. Soon afterwards she heard a plunge in the ditch. She looked to see what it was, and saw Dimis 111.C.rthy in ihe ditch hitting the deceased. There was only part of Sullivan's heed to be seen. Elisabeth ill—Lived at Bromley. She gave similar testimony. Thomas Burford, the parish constable of Brrunley. was called in by the watchmen atter the affray. lie went to apprehend the prisoners. Florence ;11'Carthy tried to make hiseseape by dropping nut of the window. Witness produced a paper ha received from Hannah Burke. Hannah Burke proved the finding of the paper produced on the morning after the transaetinn took plate, and pointed out to a gen tleman named Townsend where she round it. Thomas Ansel!, a surgeon. attended the deceased ; he proved that the bruises the deceased had received on the occasion in gunk tion caused his death. This was the case for the prosecution. The prisoner, Florence M `earthy, denied having any malice to wards the deceased, but related a long , story about some former quarrels amongst the ditlererent parties, and that on the present occasion he was merely acting in his own defence. The prisoner. Denis 3l•Carthy, told a long incomprehensible story about some former affrays, in which he and the deceased had been engaged Several witnesses were called on behalf of the prisoners. They could not vary the facts of the case, but spoke to the general hu mane character of the prisoners. The Lon!: CHIEF JI7STICE then proceeded to sum up the case to the Jury. He said, that the deceased on the night in pies tion cane to his death by the means alleged in the indictment there could be no doubt ; and there could be as little doubt that the two prisoners, together with the man Bryan, it:dieted those blows. The glm' ion for the Jury would, therefore, resolved itself to this:— were the blows inflicted under such circumstances as would consti tute the crime of murder. or manslaughter only. Ills lordship then went through the evidence at great length, and left the ques tion of murder or manslaughter to the Jury. The Jury retired for shout half an hour, and then returned a verdict of Manslaughter against both the prisoners. M A NSLAUG !ITER. Jam Bark.. James Roush, and William Amara*, were in. dieted for killing and slaying Timothy Driscoll, on the 17th of March Ism. 'there were three other persons included in the in dictment, but they are not in custody ; viz.—Dennis Hayes (the principal) David Bryant, Ind Cornelius Driscoll, charged as abettors. . . . . 3lr. Wontner stated, before the prisoners pleaded to the in. dictment, that the three prisoners at the bar had voluntarily sur rendered themselves, Robert Chapman stated that he is a roperraker in Limehouse, and on the 17th of March yeast a fight between Dennis Hayes and Timothy Driscoll, the deceased, which lasted three-gmaters of an boor. Witness was requested by the deceased to become his second on the occasion, but he refused to comply. Driscoll then threw up his hat 55 a signal to combyt, and in the end a ring was formed, and the fight commenced in the regular way. Saw the prisoners at the bar there, but el sea rut know that they took an active part. Melting in the fight appeared to him to be unfair. After the fight deceased appeared much exhausted. John Sullivan stated he also was present when Hayes and the deceased were on opposite sides of the road on the day of the fight. Deceased said, " there stones my man." and calling to Hayes, said, " Denny, you are not a man of sour word." Hayes asked for an explanation, when the deceased said, " I should like to have the words which were between you and me de cided." Hayes replied, "I do not mind yoti. but I always respected you and your father." Deceased rejoined " That has nothing to do with it; I'll fight you for 55." Hayes declined saying, he would never fight for a bet. Deceased was taken away by an old shipmate, but he returned in a quarter of an hour. and offered to tight for 51. Hayes said that place where they stood was not a proper one to tight in: and the parties withdrew to the Eel pie House fields, when Hoye.' told deceased he would give hint a gallon of beer not to fight. The prisoners were in the ring, but witness believed they were only there as spectators. During the fight the deceased was frequently advised to give in, but refused. He lived about seven hours after the fight. Other witnesses, who saw the contest, gave similar testimony. Mr. Bailey, a surgeon, stated that lie examined the deceased after his death. Ott opening his head he found four ounces of blood on the brain, which undoubtedly was the cause of his dew h it was, indeed, an apoplexy, which either drunkenness or irritation would produce. Witness was thoroughly of opinion that the de ceased did not die from the efficts of external blows or falls. Mr. Justice PARK here told the Jury that it was his duty to direct an acquittal; for the principal. acceortling to the evidence of Mr. Bailey, could not have been convicted, and the prisoners were mere spectators. It appeared that the unfortunate deceased was a foolish man, and of a violent temper; and had his antagonist been convicted, all the sentence he should have passed would have been a fine of Is. It should be known that those fights were unlawful. and every one who excited them was as guiltys in the eye of the law as the combatants themselves: but God forbid that every per. son who was drawn to those scenes by mere curiosity should be in. eluded in this responsibility. After making some further remarks on these illegal contexts, the Learned Judge otdered the prisoners to be discharged forthwith. NEW COURT. SHAMEFUL PROSECUTION. Thomas Bygsare was indicted for stealing a silver watch and 2F. irrs., the monies and property of Thomas Butterworth. The prisoner was rctnoved by Habeas Corpus from Bedford gaol. Mr. C. Pirtr.Lirs appeared for the prosecution. Thomas Butterworth stated that he lives at St. Neat's in Hun tingdonshire, and is a labourer. In July, 11123, he had a silver watch in his possession (the several defevs arid marks of which he described). Knows the prisoner at the bar well, and did so in the year 11133. Was then in cne Squire Wyatt's employment at Ni. cholas Hill, near Barnet. Witbeirs was allowed to sleep in an out house, into which the prisoner came, and requested to lie with him, but he refused to indulge hint. Witness continued to lie still, and the prisoner sat against him half an hour, berate he knocked wit ness's head against the brick wall, which made him rather to:sen sible. He took a purse from his pocket, which contained a cove. reign and thirty-five shillings. He then would have the watch, he said, which witness was about to give hint, to save his life, hut the prisoner ran his finger in the watch fob, and pulled it out, and left the chain Irehind. Atimher man man came into the hovel, but he never interfered ; the prisoner did all the business himself. By ale. Baonr•tnctc—tit'tta quite sure it was the prisoner who came into the shed, for it was as light as the blessed moon could make it. Has not seen the prisoner since until lately. A person named Warren told him a week before Bedford Assizes that the prisoner had gut the watch. Warren did not say that this man had accused his brother and one Walker of horse•stealing. Never heard any body say that Warren and Walker were to be tried at the last Bedford Assizes for horse•stealing. Witness admitted that he prosecuted a man in Hertfordshire at the Winter Assizes of 1023. Fhe witness prevaricated so much, that Mr. Sergeant Arabin WAS forced to threaten him with a committal to Nevrgate. The witness persisted to Mr. BunnEutcr, that he did not charge that man (Lowe) with the theft for which the prisoner is indicted. ..... It, the COURT—Wm sworn in Court at Hertford, and ex amined against James Lowe, who was accused of bringing these men to rob him. _ By Mr. BRODER tcx—Never charged Lowe with stealing the watch, but he appeared against him as witness. heard that Lowe was imprisoned for two years in Hertford gaol. Never said, when giving evidence at Hertford, that the robbery took place in June, and not in July. Thos. Warner, examined—Witness saw the prisoner with • watch, when he more down from the " hay country," and said he won it of it mountebank at Banter. He afterwards confessed the robbery to witness in secrecy. and the means lie used to accomplish ir. II as known the prisoner all his life, and he told of the exploit at his own house. Ailines% has had a brother prosecuted at Bed fonl for horse-stealing. The prisoner solti the watch to his brother who iv now in Newgare, to be tried for receiving it. liv Mr. 13110DERICk—Did 'mot know where Butterworth lived until about three weeks before last Bedford Assizes. When the prisoner related tlt:' circumstance, witness did not give information tom Magistrate or a constable. Last Christmas he was at work for a Mr. Gail' Witness's brother and one Walker were charged, on the prisoner's accusation, of stealing Mr. huff's home. It w as not until his brother ruts in prison that another brother of witness's contrived to get this man in prison before the Bedford Assizes. Two days before they crime na. the prisoner was confined in Bed ford g tot on this charge. Butterworth was at the Assizes when witness's brother was tried. Never saw Butterworth before he went down to give information against the prisoner. Witness has been in gaol three times. Was accused of stealing a watch through the fellow at the bar. fly Mr. C. Priti.ct Ps—The hill against him was thrown Out. The prisoner, in Ins defence, said that the chart; • was only brought against him to prevent his giving evidence against War. flees brother. Two Willleg.Cl of respectable appearance proved an alibi, the prisoner being at work at Biggleswade, weeks before and after the robbery was said to have been committed. Mr. Sergeant A na KIS summed tip the evidenee at great length, VW left It to the Jury to say, from the manner in which the wit nesses bad given their evidence, whether there was not reason to believe the prisoner's stamment, that this was a prosecution to frus trate the ends of public justice. Mr. RUOD7.ItICK said thnt he held In his hand a copy of the conviction of Lowe, at Hertford, upon the prosecutor's testimony. on this very charge. Mr. Sergeant Attain:a said it was, as he suspected, a shameful prosecution. The prosecutor applied for his expences: when Mr. sergeant Aaants told hint ho had a mind at one time to commit him to Newgate, but he should not do that ; but neither he nnr Warner should htve a farthing expenses; The Foreman said the Jury quite concurred in the opinion of the Conrr. Mr. Wontner asid that the prisoner's lowlier was in his custody, as they were both removed front Belt trrl ; the (hard Jury had thrown out the bill as 10 the brother, but he could not be dt•dharged until proclamation day, w.less the Court would neuter this you' g man to be liberated, in they were both included in one writ of llnheas Corpus. The Learned Jniscs: unrested to think that they had tirpn ton long confined &heady, and therefore ordered them to be ltbcra:ed immediately. POI,ICE. MANSION-HOUSL Parc the bny that was a few days ago examined before the Loan MAYOR, charged with having entered the house of a mere. cal Gentleman, and stolen seven silk handkerchiefs, the property of one of the appnmtiees, was fully committed for trial. He listened to the evidence against him with great attention, but without ap. pealing moved by in the slightest degree. It was mated that a per son could not pass from the house which had been plundered, to that in which the young thief was found, without extreme danger of tumbling into the 'onset. All attempts to get from him an acknowledgment of his accomplices, of whom it is not doubted he had several. proved unavailing. The boats Maxon observed, that nothing would do for such a deplorable instance of depravity, bu• transportation. The witnesses were bound over to appear at the Old Bailey. GUI I.DH A 1.1.. • • Jolla Sergeant, a lad viinitimtettenea acts Si a drover, wearing the badge 791, was charged with wantonly ill-treating a sheep. John Finlay, one of the men engaged in penning the sheep in Smithfield, said that for 40111 P tune he had discovered that while he was absent getting refreshment, some persona. purely for amuse• ment, tore out handfuls of wool from the backs of the poor Rnimal%, amid since Christmas he had upon return found three sheep dead from the cruel treatment they hail suffered. Ile determined there% fore to keep watch on Thursday night, and about one o'clock he saw the prisoner take a sheep out of a pen which contained four. teen, drag it Into an adjoining apace, anti begin to beat it most savagely with a stick. It could not have survived such violence three rtinutes ; he therefore instantly rushed on the prisoner and secured hint. The prisoner, whn denied the charge altogether, was fined forty shillings, and, in default. was committed to the tread.mill for two months. ...„ ..... MA RicHOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday Mary Mearat was charged with robbing Ur. Thomas Aston, of Edward-street, Itiaektriars, of 18s. fad. Mr. Aston, who stated himself to be connected with Mr. Price's glassworks' said that last evening, about half-past ten, having parted with a friend in High Holborn. he w.oi returning home, when the prisoner came up to hint as though to ask a question, and putting her hand into his right hand waistcoat pocket, ab stracted la.. 6d. in silver. lie immediately missed his money, and gave the prisoner in charge of the watchman. The watchman who took the Outlier to the watch.house, said, previous in searching her, he asked Mr. Aston what money he had in his pocket, when he said 19.. in the whole, ore sixpence of which was left in the corner. On searching the prisoner the exact sum missing was found upon her. The prisoner protested her innocence, said her husband was a mechanic out of work, that the His. 61. was her own, and that when taken to the watch house she had I/. 12s. 2d. . _ . CONANT inquired very particularly as to her being properly searched, and whether nny other moneys were Mind on her. The night constable declared she had no other property than the identical Ilk•. 841. mentioned. . . . The prisoner wan fully committed for trial. The driver of the cabriolet No. 15. *Mu; cane Rtand over that he might produce the gentleman who hired Ilan, yesterday appeared for the third time, and mated face to he min ill to attend, The old woman nail nhe lived at No. 5. Queen-ntreet,Windmill street ; that, on returning battle shout half-pant nine o'clock on the night of the 21st ult. she WWI knocked cbiwn by the defendant's ca briolet, hut all she could recollect was a blow on the head. John Mack ntosh, a watchman. said he was on duty in Coventry. street when the accident happened. He observed the vehicle con.• ing at a rapid rate, and at the instant saw the complainant knocked down In the road ; the home passed over her, with a wheel of the cabriolet on either side. He ran to her assistance. helped her into a surgeon's, and took the number. A gentleman came up to him and said he had had a very narrow escape from being run over by the same carriage. Mr. Sullivan, surgeon, of Sherrard-street„ Golden-square, also attended, and stated that the poor creature was conaiderellv reco vered, but that the wounds on her head and arm had at first an a:arming appearance. Mr. CONANT, who had threatened to woke an example of the driver, in compassion for the complainant, allowed a compromise, as, in the event of his fining the driver, the money would go to the King. She had lost her work as a charwoman, and incurred an ex. pence with her landlady of 14a.fid. The defendant 'accordingly paid 21. to discharge the surgeon's bill, and gave the complainant a sovereign in compensation for her injuries. William Bellamy, a twice.convicted pickpocket, and Charles Smith, alias Turtle. were brought in by Reardon. and sent to the tread-mill, for following their idle occupation in Drury-lane. Bel. lamy was too well known for the Magistrate to ask him any ques tions. Smith said he had been to see his cousin in ‘Vhiteclinpel, and on returning home to his father's (Turtle,) a butcher. near the chapel, in Tottenham•court-road, met his companion. This story did very well, till Mr. CONANT sent for the father, when his right name was discovered. Old Mr. Turtle attended, said his son was connected with a bad set, anti hoped the Magistrate would imprison him but not send him to the tread-mill. Mr. CONANT replied that he should make no distinction, and thought that hard. boor might reform the youth. woßsn I P-STREET. Yesterday Joseph Tory/or was re-examined on the charge of hay. ing been concerned, with a person named James Harper, in stealing four cart-horses from Mr. Batten, of Brickwall, Herut, in Mardi, 1 t 125. _ . Most of the witnesses against Harper, who was executed for the robbery, have been brought forward in the course of Taylor's ex. aminstions, and yesterday Thomas M uneasier. hostler at the Crown Inn, Holloway, was produced, and identified Taylor. It appeared from his deposition that three cart-horses and a mare in foal were brought to his toaster's stables early one morning by the prisoner, and were taken away again in the afternoon. He could not tell on what day nor in what month, but he recollected that Attfield was there that day and saw the horses. Attfield stated that he saw four cart.horses in the stables at the Crown, and particularly remarked them no being very fine cattle. Two other horses which were with them he took away, and they were found to have been stolen from a gentleman in E•sex. He shortly afterwards received information of the robbery at Mr. Bat ten's, and he returned to the Crown for the four cart-::ones, but they had been taken away in the meantime. He and t►anon, with other officers, traced them from thence across Cambridge Heath, and for smite distance on the road towards Bow. The prisoner was again remanded until Monday. ' CORONERS INQUEST. SHOCKING AFFRAY AT KENIIINGTON.-011 Thursday even. ing an adjourned inquisition was taken, before Tstostas HIGGS, Esq., at the Triumphant Chariot, in Pembroke-mews, tipper Ornsvettor-place, on the body of David Oarratt, who was killed under the following afflicting circumstances : Francis From, of No. 63. Strutton-ground, Westminster, stated that the deceased was about 40 years of age, and was carter to Mr. T. Grundy, a mason in the flonteferry-road. On Tuesday afternoon, as he was coming along the Kensington-road, saw an errand.cart, and also a one-horse cart driven by the deceased. They were in the road, and about 100 yards before nim. This was between the Halfway-house and the Horse Barracks. It was on the Park side of the way. The deceased was sitting at the head of his cart, which was laden with grit. He did nut give any . provocation. On the one-horse cart passing the errand-carter, he jumped out of his cart, went up alongside that of the deceased, said something to him which witness did not hear, and immediately struck hitu four or live times with a whip before the latter returned a blow. The de ceased got on the off-shaft and hooked the reins. He then struck at the errand.ratter with his whip; and they whipped each other for three or four minutes, until they got entangled. The one-horse cart continued to go on with the deceased standing on the shaft: but he was at length pulled off by the other man, by means of the entanglement of the whips. The deceased then held by the reins till they broke, when the off-wheel went over his breast. The car rier looked audaciously with rather a smile on his face at what had occurred. until he was reproved for his conduct ; and after he had been scolden he assisted the decettleil a little, who said " 1 am a dead man ; lay me straight." The carrier directly after went,to his cart and galloped away towards London. William Goddard, of Pembroke-square, Kensington. wheel wright, corroborated the evidence of the preceding witness, and stated that on the cart was written the words '• Thomas Webb, Twickenham." . . Mr. W. Cowell, house surgeon at St. George's Hospital, de. posed to the deceased being brought there about three o'clock in the afternoon of Tu e sday last Ile was in a dying state. i;verytiiiiig that his situation required was dune for him, but without effect. He expired the same evening The injuries which the deceased re. eeived were fractured ribs and a fractured breast bone. They were the natation of death. The Coroner then addressed the Jury ; who. arter some consulta tion, returned a verdict of " itlanslaughier" against William II 11 hbard, the carrier. The Coroner nom issued his warrant for the apprehension of the offender, who has betn taken into custody. It is stated in a Morning Paper, that the commitments to prison under the Game Laws alone, in this country, amount to more than three times the number of commit tals for any kind of criminal offence in the whole kingdom of France. _ On Tuesday, a very old woman, named Stocker, was burnt to death in St. 'llotnas's, Exeter, in the absence of a female appointed to administer to the wants of her second childhood, and to guard her from dangers incident to that state of helplessness; neglectful of her trust, she was at tracted to the fair, and on her return found the poor old woman near the tire, consumed almost to a cinder, together with the chair on which she had been bitting.
