HAWKINS. and Mr. MALTBY were Counsel for the prosecution g 31r. 3PDowiLL was Counsel for Hewlett I Parsons had no Counsel, 31r. ST OHMS detailed the circunistance• of the 'case on the part of the prosecuticn, and substquently that ease was proved by the toUMsing witnesses Joseph Payne was examined by Mr. HAMlCrws.—lle said that he was a fanner resoling in Felinersham. He had about a mtle from Ins own house a barn, a cow-hovel, a risk of straw, and a shelter hovel, all adjoining. In that sheltershoyel there were nine fat cows ; this was not situated near any dwefting.house. On the 18th of February a lire broke out there, and the whole was destroyed. I 1 know the two men there (looking towards the dock) very well, Parsons and Francis Hewlett ; I recollect apprehending spriginnee and a brother of Francis Hewlett, for sheep-stealing. After that lime Parsons and Ilewlett came for their pay ; Parsons came in first ; I had COMMLAOIitd my brother to pay them ; I had desired 'Mot to dialect from them a day's pay, during which period they were absent from work, in consequence of Ilewl e tt' s b rot h er b e i ng taken up. Parsons said to me, " You are the only person who o u ght to pay for it, as it was through you they were taken up." I w orsted fn stopping the money, and he went away, and was very s aucy.

There was a great noise; I saw Francis Ilewlett and his brother James at work some daye before, and Francis Hewlett said, " 1)-. Mr. Payne; 1 should like to do him a good turn." erosauxamined—lf a man had injured you. and you saw his premises on fire, would you endeavour to assist him to extinguishing the lire ?-1 swear I would. Britton, s constable, proved that be or Hewlett say to Sprigniore, while they were 'talking together and In his custody on this charg e , " D— n lie's a splitter." John Hopkins Wanleri apiwishendal the prisoners, but nothing wait said by them 10 his hearing. '*Jr. Ha . lextell proposed to put in a confession of Cowin's % te; prove that he was gailty, The Learned JIYDUE thought that he could not receive it in evi dence. This was the case on the part of the prosecution. Air. AlocDowett. then sobmitted, that upon this indictment the prisoners c ou ld no t b e conv i cte d ; and, although he was Cows. gel Mr Hewlett alone, yet the other prisoner would have the be nefit of the objection, if the Learned Judge considered it fatal to the indictment. The prisoners were charged as accessories berme the fact, and of that char,'e they could not be convicted before the guilt of the principal war made manifest by his conviction. It wu true that they might tried at the tame time-- The Cm tEr BARON—So they have, and one of them has pleaded guilty—the principal. r Mr. AlacllowEt.--'ne principal pleaded guilty on his ar raignment. l'he prisoners put themselves for trial on the country, and it never could be contended that they were tried with a person who had by his plea deterthed hiraself from all that was consecreit to a trial. The prir.cipal pleaded guilty, and his conviction should be established by the record properly authenticated. That evidence was wanting in the present case; and as the Counsel for the proawi i cutinn had closed their case, it was now too late to give the evidence; which should have been offered of the guilt of the principal. 31r. HAWKINS suggested to the Court that there was no dia.' tinct ion between this case and one in Which the prisoners were tried' at the same time. The CHIEF PAROV said, he would refer the objection to the cons . deration of the Lord Chief Justice, then in the next €01111; not that he thought it fatal to t:.e indictment, but because (in a case so serious as the present) the prisoners ought to hove the ad vantage of all that ingenuity could suggest in their favour. Atter some time the Marshal returned with the Chief Justice's opinion —that it would be better (or right) to give formal evidence of the conviction of the principal. AlocllowEns—Then your Lordship will permit m e t o ob ject to the course which I understand the Counsel for the protects. I don now propose —to give evidence of the principal's guile, after they hail clos2d their case. M'. STORKS, who had been absent a short time from Court, and had just heard the nature of the objection, said—•' His Lordship, for the preservation of justice, will allow the evidence to be given, though I think it quite unnecessary, for the reason stated as I un derstand by my learned friend, Ir. Hawkins." 'l'he CHIEF IJAIIOIII thought there was no weight in the last objectio The prisoners made no defence. Th.!LearnetlJtiDGE then summed tip the evidence, and the Jury returned, after sonic deliberation, a verdict of Guilty against both the prisoners. Costin was then called up, and with the other prisoners placed at the ha..

I say do yea hear me—there snail be a something done anti all the town abaft know of it, I'll be d—d if they shan't." In crosa.examination this witness said that Hewlett wr.s a noisy and abusive fellow, and this was his constant way of talking. Joseph Chole stated, that he had seen the two prisoners with Costin and Ditk:ns Sprigmoreoa the Tuesday before the 6re. Wm. lirumwell fired under the same roof with the prisoner Ilewlett, and heard him say, shout a fortnight After the tire was over, to the wife of the prisoner Parsons—" I was in% when the the was on, but it's ell over now."

" In justice to themselves and the public, feel called open by the recent circulation of a card addre.std to the inha bitants of Woburn and its vicinity, to entreat that the public will not be misled by It.

He saw, on that occasion, Parsons and Hewlett together. Hewlett said, when witness neat met him, " We're Ind a dreadful the." Witness said " Yes." He said be was not there. Mr. MALTBY—Now before he had said he was not there, had you asked hint whether he was or not? The counsel for the pEumer submitted that this was a leading question, but he had no objection to herr all that passed on this occasion, if Mr Maltby would propose the question in that form. Mr. MALTBY had no objection to rut the question in the way proposed by his learned friend, and would oak the Withdll what' passed at it ? I saw them together. Mr. MALTBY—Confine your attention to the conversation be..! teem yourself and Hewlett in the Met instance ? Ile said, we've had a dreadful fire here ; I said yes. Were you there ? he said no; my children were ill, and illy wife went to the doctor's shop for some stuff for them, and she staid chattering there, so that I could not go. Mr. MALTBY—Did you ask him whether he was there before he staid he was not ? Yes, I said were you there ? Another witness, whohil previously been examined. was called back, to prove that Ileslett's children were well in health on this evening. Croft-examined—Will you swear these children were well ? One of them had a cold, but I saw the other at four o'clock in the day, and at seven nest morning. One of ihzrn was ill ? Yes. And the other for any thing you know ? It didn't want medi cine. You had better have an apothecary to prove that. The rut know that medickle 11 al not required for these children ? I can't say that. Dickins Sprigmore was then called and examined by Mr. Il aw. at •:s--lie said that he was a labourer, and resided in the same parish with the prosecutor. lie knew the two men in the dock. They were his companions. " 1 recollect on the Friday before the tire going to Mr. Paynes'. I went to Francis Hewlett's house. We posed through a close, called Harvey's Yard. I heard Parsons say, • be d—d if I don't set fire to Payne's barn.' Hew lett said. I'll be d—til if I wouldn't be one to help to do it' George Dorian was with me, and lie said it war through Payne his brother was sent to Bedford. %I'hile we stood there, Francis Hew lett went into his house, and feteli'd from th.4nee a steel and some tinder; he took the tinder, w:app'd it up in paper, and put it in his pocket. lie asked Costin then, whether he would rot do it? but Parsons said bed better not do It that night, as they'd been having some words with Air. I'ayne. It was then put off until Sunday night, and George Costin was to do it. I was there; and Hewlett and Parsons hired him to do it. Hewlett and Parsons were to be in certain places. Hewlett was to remain at home, that he might have witnesses as to where he was at the time. I didn't hear Parsons at that time say where lie was to be. Parsons asked me if I'd do it ? I said ro ; I'd have nothing to do with it. They ' gave Costin sixpence a-piece to do it on Sunday right. Parsons said he'd give him any money if he'd do it ; and Hewlett said the same. They said, both of them, they'd not mind giving him a week's pay if he'd but do it. The last words that passed was, that Costin should do the fire whether he saw us or not. I raw Parsons again on Sunday morning, and he said George Costin would stick to his task. Parsons said he would get out of the way ; he would go and see his mother at Tilbury. This was on the Sunday morn. ing. I saw Francis k:ewlett on the same day ; he came to my house about 12 o'clock. I saw hint again on the Monday. Neither of the prisoners at the bar wes at the fire; they were not to be there. I raw George Costin at the fire. On the Sunday after, I recollect being in company with Francis Hewlett. 1 went to get a few turnip-tops with him ; and he then asked me what I thought of the tire ? 111 y answer was, it was a dreadful sight to see the burn. ing of the poor calves. He said lie could'nt brazen his face up to the fire that night. Cross-examined—Where do you come from P—From home. In one serse it is a home certainly, seeing that you have passed a good pardon of your lite there, but do you term that a home which vulgar people call gaol ? I only weld there last night. The last time you were sent to gaol is now long ago ? Fifteen weeks. WM.

Wasthington Montague, an apotitieary at Threpstone, deposed, that upon the plaintiff's return he was for six weeks under his care. He is able to .:ilk about Lone, and he will continue as. This apothecary's bill was v. Evidence of special damage was given by the brother of plain. tiff. It consisted of the loss sustained by his inability to attend to business, and expenses incurred by thh injury. The defendaots were proved to be the proprietors of the coach in question. Mr. Sergeant FRERE (with whom was' Mr. Dov Est), nit the part of the defendants, contended that this accident, which Ids clients vary deeply lamented, originated In his own wilful wrong. headedness. The coachman could rot with safety stop in the place where he wished him to get downs and Mr. Griffin, eager to extricate himself front a situation in which he was not the con troller but the tonttolled, finding that the coachman did not regard as anything the safety of the other passengers compares. with hie personal convenience, jumped from the step of the coach at a time when it was proceeding with considerable rapidity, and thus had he caused the injury of which to-day he complained. It was in evi dence that the bridge was narrow—that it was not wide enough for two coaches to pass at the same time without one of then' drawing an the footway, and therefore it was customary with the coachman, In order that this inconvenience might not arise, to drive over the bridge with unusual expedition, in ordei that before any other: coach approached, his might reach the opposite side. Now to se. let a moment like this for Lis descent watt not wise in Mr. Oran, but to attempt to carry his project in execution by the courle he had adopted, required more activity of limbs than it appeared the plaintiff possessed. The consequence of his fall was much to be regretted; but the Learned Sergeant contended that as they re sulted from his own indiscretion and obstinacy of purpose, ha was not entitled to any damages. Toe Rev. John James, curate Of Goodie, was examined by Mr. Doves—ile said, he was on the coach-box on the day in question. Mr. Griffin was a stranger to hint. Ile did not hear him make any request to the coachman to atop. Did not know of the accident 1W he heard a shocking cry of a person who had fallen. The coach was then proceeding at the rate of eight or nine miles an hour. He had a son with him about eleven years of age—heard no woman giving an alarm on the road. Never knew the coachman before that day. Thos. Picktord Seabrooke, Esq. was on the . roach the same day, and he confirmed the testimony of the last witness. here were three othce passengers who sat behind the coach, who stated that they did not bear the plaintiff say anything to the lboachman before he fell. Thomas Vowel, the coachman, said he had driven the coach far MOTE than two years—had been a coachman seven cr eight years before; recollect, being at St. Neste& Bridge when Griffin's leg was broken. The accident was Just told him by the Rev. Mr. James—had not beard Griffin say one single word before about getting down of stopping. Mlicn Mr. James told hint what had happened he desired him to drive on, which he did, and on hit. -..ng to the King's Head tie told the landlord that a person had • slipped all • nung either jumped or h..„cd of the coach, and to get him .. the its.

The de fendant had conceived an enmity against him, and Wished to shim that the plaintiff was wholly unfit to tie received among honest men. Same years since tilt inhabitants of Stafford had Certain rights of common ; but by an Act of Parliartfent; passed in the 40th year of his late Majesty, the common wars directed to be en closed and an allotment given instead ; and a Treasurer was Pp pointed to manage it, but that was a gratuitous office. TO that office the plaintiff was ciente. in the year 1823; and on the 2d of October in last year he said the plaintiff had robbed the buegesset. and he would be revenged on him. The races at Stafford art held on this common, in fact it is the Rut course t tut on the races being s held, the persons coining there pay for the da mage they may uo by a trifling toll. On the 13th of October last the races took place, and the defendant imputed to the plaintiff a specific fraud, for which he might have been tranenorted. for he said, " you area thief, you are h robber t fOr jou receive lb* money and put It into your own pocket, and you could not pay your way without" This was a charge that required some notice, palest an apolo g y was made.

Mr. Castrawt.t. stated that this action was brought to recover &11/, from the defendant. The plaintiff, Elisabeth kettle, had been a servant of the defendant, who was a person considerably advanced In life, and had rented turnpike gates, but after that he took the Waggon and Ilorses public-house, at Wolverhampton, and en gaged the plaintiff to assist him as servant there. The plaintiff agreed to become his servant, and though at first no specific agree- Damara' come to, it was afterwards agreed that she should be paid sixteen guineas a yser. This continued for near three years, when the defendant grew tired of his new line of life, and after that he again took another turnpike gate, he, however, keeping on the pri vate house, which was kept in order by tl.e plaintiff. He should prove that the defendant had repeatedly promised to pay the plaintiff her wages, but had put oft the actual payment by different excuses. Samuel Itlanael said, I live at Wolverhampton. I married a sister of the plaintiff The defendant came to me and said. he wished Miss Kettle to become his housekeeper, as he was tired of toll-gates. and wished to alter his situation by taking a public house. The plaintiff had, before that, lived at 31r. Sparrow's. I communicated this to the plaintiff: The defintlant said he would give her handsome wages, and the witness went with her to him. The defendant afterwards said he would give her 1G guineas a-pear.l He went to the public.house, and the plaintiff went there in Sept.! 11121. I advised her to agree f,r a certain sum for wages ; and the! plaintacalled the defendant in, end said, " Now let us agree about my wages ; I used to have 15 guineas where I lived before,i and if you don't give me 16 guineas I won't stay e l and the de-1 fondant replid, " I will not only do that but give you a handsome' present besides." The plaintiff* continued to live with him all the I time he staid in the public-house, which was sixteen months, and then he went to different houses, where she lived with him, and finally quitted his service about Christmas, 11V4.. A little before that time I went to the defendant. to ask him for her wages but he refused to pay then, using very abusive language. Croon-examined by Mr. Ctrawooti.—l don't know that the plaintiff is a pleasant woman ; she his her teavets as Well as ()Merl ladles. I don't know her age, she never tells it ; ate may be forty. The defendant is 70 or more. She lived as a servant, as far as 1 know. The defendant, after leaving the public-house, lived in a house at a rent of three shillings a week, and yet he wanted a kousekeeper at 16 guineas a year. After that the defendant took another turnpike, but I don't know that ray amial.ie sister scratched his face because lie took a young girl as hie servant.

The de. fendant, in 1821, sent fin me to I is house, to ask me to write to my sister to come to live with him, far he was going to take the Wag. gon and Horses public-house. and that it would be of no use to him to go there without having it housekeeper. I wrote to her, and after that the defendant frequently came to solicit her to live with him. She entered his service in September. 11;21.
