LAV INTELLIGENCE. COURT Or KING'S BE N, Arm 23. SAGE e. PLETCHER. This was an action for a libel in the Chester Chron;els. At the ass Cheshire Arius before the Chief Joetice, the plaintiff had a y.tdict for one farting damages, with liberty to the defendant to trove to arrest the judgment. 3lr. H. F. Jones now moved accordingly. The question was, whether the matter stated on the record was in point of law libel lova. The alleged libel was published in October last, during the titre rt` the election of repre entatives to scree for Chester in Par. Bartow. The pia:lta held a commission in the East India Caen- Mtlitare Serriee, and also carried or: the business of a brewer a. Cheater. The paragraph commenced by observing on the eseietims of the pertinent' of one Or the candidates. iv canvass. log for their favourite en a Sundag, ar.d then pomaded to state. '• that Lienterant Sage, the brewer, who, as we hear, is on the sick list of the East India Company's Military Setkmentr, took the mmand, and hobbled and paraded the , igh the streets like an ele phant on hot 'nicks. The laurels which the brewer won on the banks of the Ganges, he hopes also to win on the banks of the Dee. hut' tope told a flattering tale,' inasmuch as. at ten o'clock. )!r. Whhtakee was three or four hundred on the other side of the past." The paragraph then went on to describe the conduct of the plaintiff as being similar to that of some of the heroes in Chronon hetontholestena, arid imputed to him that he had threatened not to rapid/ en independent brewer, in Hudson-street, with beer, because he referee to vote for Mr. Whittaker. The Learned Counsel sub mitted that there was nothing libellous in this paragraph. it was a mere election squib, and cast no imputation on the plaintiff 'a moral sb.ract er. Mr. Justice BATLEY said, that the paragraph was obviously calculated to throw the plaintiff into ridicule in the first place ; and, in the second, there was an imputation upon his moral character, In alleging that he had refused to slimly a publican with beer, on account of his refusing to give his vote for a par. teals, esndidate. He therefore thought there was sufficient ground -for susteining the verdict. Illy justice Hocaorn was of the same opinion. The lowd Chief Justice was fttrient from indisposition, and Mr. Justice Littledale was in the Bail Court. Hale refused. }DOLLY V. TERUO. Thie was an action for maliciously, and without any reasonable we probable cause, suing out two Commissions of Barkrupt. At the trial before the Lord Chief Baron at the last Assizes for Kent. the Jury found their verdict for the plaintilf.-.-Da lunges, MN. Mr. GURNEY now moved for a title to show cause why a new ?vital stmeld not be granted, on four grounds—first, that the verdict was against the weight of evidence—second, that the Learned Judge hadns the Jury, in point of law—third, for want of proof of an 'element in the declaration—and fourth, for misconduct in one of the Jnty. The ponies both bred at Maidstone, and respec tively tarried on the business of coal and earn merchants, and whaifingers. The Learned Counsel called the attention of the Court to the evidence adduced on both sides, and submitted, that the intisece negatived the imputation against the defendant from having sued out the commission of bankruptcy from malicious motives. In rimming up the case for the Jury, the Learned .budge told them that if they believed the plaintiff remained away from Maidstone to delay his creditors, then, in his opinion, there was probable cause fur suing out the commissions. Now it was submitted that the Judge should, without the intervention of the Jury, have decided the probability of the cause, as a question of law. The declaration had averred that the first commission was duly sued out. The only ;roof of this averment was the Commissioners' warrant. which was ietuff.cient to prove the validity of the prior proceedings. partieu. lady after notice to the plaintiff diet strict proof would be required to sustain that part of his case. The cause had occupied two days. At the close of the first, the Learned Judge, in dismissing the Jury, cautioned them not to communicate with any other persons in the interval of adjoemment. In violation of this injunction, it now ap peared, by affidavit, that one of the Jurymen had discussed the merits of the case in a public room, in a tavern, at Maidstone, on tbe very tame evening. On these grounds the Learned Counsel r:a7ed a rule Nisi far a new trial, on the grounds stated. The Cott AT granted a rule Nisi. DOE D. EDWARDS V. THE REV. C. TOWER. This was an ejectment for certain tithes, houses, and lands, with sr loch Sir Anthony Browne's school, at Brentwood, was endowed he the founder, in the reign of Philip and Mary. At the trial be tore Mr. Baron Graham, at the last Assizes for the county of Es sex, the plaintiff was nonsuited, for want of proof that he had ex ercised any act asserting a right of possession in the property in question during the last twenty years. Mr. Sergeant TAnDY now moved for a new trial, on the ground that the Statute of Limitations did not apply to a ease of this de scription. The lessor of the plaintiff had been appointed master of the school by the lineal descendant of the last Sir Anthony Browne, who was patron of the Corporation of which the school consisted. It was unnecessary, in such a case as this, to prove that the patron, or his appointee., had exercised any tight, inas much as this was like a donative, which could not be affected by usurpation PO as to bar the right. It was also analogous to the pro t ceding by quare impedit : for, when once it appeared that the ancestor of the patron had even been in pormesion, mere usurpation would not bar his right to present, although the church should have in the mean time been full. Here it was decidedly proved that the ancestor of the plaintiff's pat •in had been in possession, and the usurpation by the defendant, and the persons under whom he derived title, would be no answer to the ejectment, notwithstanding the Statute of Limitations. The Court granted a rule Nisi. DYRNE V. PARKINS. UP. BROVOITAX announced, that he was instructed on behalf of the defendant to move for a new trial in this ease ; and also for the ytaintifirt ,in a wagering caste tried before the Lord Chief Justice, but in consequence of the absence of the Lord Chief ja:tice both cases were ordered to stand over until Tuesday. THE ZINO v. •MPHLET. TNil was an indictment against the defendant for publishing a libel m the Pottery Gazette, of and concerning two persons named Ri.igway. At the trial, before Mr. Baron Barrow, at the last olix‘ltes for Staffordshire, the defendant was found guilty. Mr. LUDLOW now moved for a new trial, on the ground that t: , ere was not sufficient evidence of the publication of the libel to warrant a conviction. The only copy of the newspaper containing the libel, which was produced in evidence, was the copy left at the htamp-office, pursuant to an Act of Parliament ; and he contended, that as that wu an involuntary publication, and made wholly for another purpose, it was not sufficient to support the indictment. It must appear that the defendant had actually sent forth the alleged libel into the world. For any thing that appeared to the contrary, no other copy of the paper had ever been printed, or hav ing been printed, the defendant might have repented, and destroyed the whole impresf inn except the copy sent to the Stamp-office. The prosectunr , having failed to give the usual proof of publication, they were obliged to resort to the proof required at common law, arid the proof given, it was submitted, was insufficient, especially .n a criminal came. Mr. Justice BATLEY and Mr. Justice TIOLROYD were both - clearly of opinion that there was a sufficient publication of the libel tu support the indictment, and therefore refused the rule. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 23. ROEBUCK V. DUNDERDALE. 'dr. Sergeant CROSS stated that this was an action for a breech Or premise of marriage, tried before Mr. Justice Bayley, at the last A %%fees at York, when the Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages .500 L The .application with which the Court was now about to be troubled, was one of a nature to which they were gene rally but little inclined to listen; but perhaps the particular cir cumstances upon it lich this motion was founded, might entitle it to some favour. The parties were in humble titration, of life, the parents of both plaintiff and defendant being small farmers.. At the trial of the cause, evidence was called to show the circumstances of the defen,!ant's father, with whom the defendant was then living, and there was no complaint that the evidence had been improperly received by thebeamedJudge, but that the evidence itself was either false or founded in error, and that the defendant was taken by sur prise are rendered unable to answer it. The evidence was. that the defendant's father was a man of property, and lived upon an estate which, together with the property upon it, 17..1 cf the value cf . 4,0001. or 6,0001. The real truth of the matter was this—the deferdant had purchased the rotate epos which he was living, for toi sum of more than 3,0001. bt:t he now declared that he had tow- T.)‘',l the greater part of that sum in order to effect the purchase, and that he was not in reality worth more than 2,00 W. The de :Cadant himself was not worth 1001. Under time circumstances the defendant prayed, that, upon payment of costs, the verdict might be set ankle, and a new trial granted. Mr. Justice Bus Rouon observed, that the circumstances of the case were the only means by which the Court could be enabled to form any kind of idea whether the sum given as damages was fair or proper, slid of these circumstances the Court was left entirely Ignorant. Perhaps, if there had not been any evidence of the property of the defendant's father, the same verdict might have been given. What was the nature of the case, and what the length of the courtship Mt. Sergeant CR oss said the defendant lived twelve miles from the plaintiff 'a residence; that he visited her frequently, and that the courtship had enntinued for live years. At least such was the evidence given by the plaintiff The defendant bad offered none. He submitted that the damages were excessive. The Cfirte JUSTICR said. this verdict was not as large as awn. 'SW had lately been given. However, the Court would be able to 'peak to Mr. Justih-;layley tO.IDOTTOW, and they would eommu nscste the result to 4... Sergeant Cross. At present they did not fed much inclined to assist him. CITAUISYSTw. IS_ILL!•311: Mr. Sergeant Pr ' a appeared for the defendant in this ease, to more titnt die verdict which had been given for the plaintiff should be set aside, and a new trial granted. This was an action brought against the defendant, to recover from bim the value of a picture, which had been entniated to the defendant, an autioneer, for the purpose of W.!. The action was tried Leta* the Chief Justice of this Court, at the Adjourned Sittings ice London after last 'fem. The Jury had given a verdict fur tine plaintiff; damages 601. Since the trial, the gentlemen who had purchased the picture had sent it back to the defendant ; it was now in London, and bad been examined by several artists, none of whom considend it, even with its frame, to be worth more than IC!. The Jury had given their verdict, in the entree of any clear and positive proof, as to its value, being at the mune time not a little misled by his Learned Brother Vaughan, who, though not very conversant with the merits of the Flemish S c h oo l o f Painting, was nevertheless no inconsiderable artist, an d co l oure d his piCturcs extremely high. 'he object of this application was twofold first, to enable the 1..- ~.. .. defendant to return the picture to the plaintiff; and, secor.dly, to clear his character front an imputation which had gone abroad re specting his conduct. The Cults Just . ten said. the plaintiff's case was, if f; re- Membered rightly, diet the picture tod been entrusted to the de fer.dar.t to the purpcse of beirg sold, but on condition that it should not be sold without notite b. lug first given to the plaintiff ; and that this condition hail been broken. Mr. Sergeant Pt t t answered in the affirmative. The plaintiff had pretended at the trial that the picture was very valuable, and hail succeeded in obtaining a verdict for 50!., when the picture, frame and all, were not worth more than 101. The Cairn JUSTICE said, there was every thing in the con duct of the defendant to provoke a verdict, with large damages. It was through his own fault that the Jury had been prevented from judging of the real vatne of the picture, since the defendant had taken no re.eane to obtain it before the trial, or to give to any scien tific men employed by himself or the plaintiff the opportunity of seeing it, so as to describe it accurately to the Jury. Besides. the defendant had given a false account of the person to whom the picture hail been sold, and bad himself described it as a very va luable 'picture. alleging that as a rea s on why he did not put it up to sale on a previous occasion. The defendant had done nothing to entitle himself to relief. The other Judges conenrred with his Lordship, and observed in addition, that it was better for the defendant that his application should be rejected, than that it should be granted, for a new trial would cost him more that 401. Jlule refused. In the course of a cause of no public interest, in which a motion was made to the Court, founded on an objection said to exist be tween the pleadings and the evidence, The CHIEF JUSTICE, alluding to the circumstance, said, he should always concur with the opinion once delivered by Lord Kenyon in the House of Lords, that these applications, founded on technical variances, ought not to be encouraged where substan tial justice bad been done. Ile thought the doctrine of variances was entitled to no favour; it had created more confusion and evil than it had produced benefit ; and hc trusted the day was not far distant when the practice of setting aide verdicts on the ground of technical variances would be put on a different footing to what it was at present. CONSISTORY COURT, SATURDAY, Aram 23. THE OFTICE 07 TIIE SYDGE rtlacorzo BY WILLIAMS V. OCODGCM. This was a suit commenced by the Rev. Mr. Williams, Rector of Hendon, against Mr. Goodger, one of the parishioners, for scur rilous Isngusge used towards hies at a vestry meeting. Doctors ADAMS and Jew wEn. on the part of the defendant, relied on the vestry having been holden in the hall-room of the Greyhound tavern, and that it was a private quarrel between the parties. Doctor Lusrmstur ow and ADAMS argued that the room in question was built over the church-yard, and was consequently consecrated, the effect of which could only be removed by Act of Parliament and that parties brawling in that room were liable to the censure of the Court, as if the offence had been committed in the church. Sir CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON observed, that it might be diffi cult for the Reverend Plaintiff to prove the consecration of the room in question, and recommended an amicable settlement between the parties. Dr. ADAMS, on the part of the defendant, declared bis sorrow for what had occurred ; ■nd Dr. LUSUINGTON, on behalf of his client, expressed his perfect satisfaction with that declaration. POLICE. MARY-LA-BONNE. Horst-witzaztico.—Two very ill-looking fellows, who gave their names George Mills and Charles Smith, were charged with breaking into the house of Mr. NVordley, the King's Head tavern, corner ut King-street, Edgware-road, at four o'clock on Saturday morning, and stealing in the cellar a quantity of brandy, and seven bo:tles of sherry wine. It appeared in evidence that a lodger in the house, named Haley, rose at four o'clock to go to his employment, and on going out of the front door, he saw three men come out of the prosecutor's cellar, with a milk•can full of brandy, and seven bottles of wine. He at tempted to seize one of the men, ar.cl Smith beat him with a stick about the head and face till he was insensible. The bridge of his nose was broken. Another lodger hearing a scuffie, looked through the window ar.d called " watch." One of the robbers escaped, but the two prisoners were apprehended, with part of the stolen property in their possession. They were committed for trial. MR. HENRY SAYARY. We have received the following particulars connected with the above-named gentleman, and the probable causes that have led to the commutation of punishment BRISTOL. APRIL 23. Towards the close of the last month, aitheiilnin;;teariedrnli. citations were pursued in his behalf, a communication was made to him, the result of which was. his exylaining the extent of the frauds, and the facilities by which they were ac:omplished. Then, and then only, a hope was held out, on his pleading "guilt," that an effort to save him would be made. Accordingly, on being put to the bar on the 4th instant, he gave in the plea of Gui/to ; and declared, in extenuation, that " he did not know forging the names of persons not in erkience was a capital offence." But the Learned Lord Gifford decided otherwise. and left him to his fate. Immediately all the evidence and circumstances of the case militating in his favour were formed into affidavits, and were on Monday last trarsmitted to the Smretary of State for the Home Department; and Mr. Secretary Peel, with an alacrity and hu manity above all praise, immediately had them laid before the proper authorities : and we are informed a very long deliberation, in which the opinions of the Law Officers of the Crown were taken, was held upon them. The result was, that on Wednes day night a King's 'Messenger was despatched to Bristol with the respite. lie arrived there on Thursday morning, and delivered his mission to Mr. Gardner, the Senior Sheriff; who went to the gaol, and was shown into the room occupied by Mr. Savvy, who had, since the previous Monday, endured the most racking suspense, as on that day he knew the affidavits, &c. wens trans. witted to the Secretary of State. ale. Gardner read to him the official communication ; and the gratitude and delight of the unfortunate man knew no bounds; ' he wept and prayed fervently. and with much enthusiasm de clared to the Sheriff and ?Ir. ilumplireys, the gaoler, that it was solely on his family's account. as he cared hut little what became of himself. Ills manner, which before was reserved, gloomy, and contemplative, assumed a lightness and gaiety not often seen within the prison walls. By every class of society in Bristol the respite was received with pleasure, on account of the venerable banker, Mr. Savvy, sen., who is most highly anil universally esteemed. His mind too has received great relief. Ile and the family were preparing to retire from the town, as they fully expected the unfortunate man would have to pass the dreadful ordeal yesterday. CORONER'S INQUEST. Coacu ACCIDENT.—On Saturday evening an inquest was held at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, before Thomas Shelton, Esq. on the body of Sarah Rummers, who came by her death under the following circumstances. ' Wm. Thomas, of Whetstone, cooper, deposed that on Wednes day evening, about six o'clock, he was walking through Whet. stone, when he saw the deceased in the middle of the road, going towards London, and the Tallyho Birmingham coach about two yards behind her. That the coachman and passengers called to her to get out of the way, but that she paid no attention, and was I in a minute afterwards knocked down by the off leader, and the wheels of the coach passed over her thigh, which was consequently fractured, and her knee severely injured. She was taken to a pub lic-house at %Vhetatone, and a surgeon sent for, who soon after ar. rived and set the fractured limb. In answer to a question from a Juryman, the witness said the coach was going at the rate of about eight nide% an hour. The coachman was perfectly sober. J. Mathews, of Whetstone, gave evidence to the same effect. J. Parkinson,of Snow-hill, one of the passengers, said that in his &pinion r o blame whatever was attributable to the coachman, and that the matter was quite accidental. J. Blaekbrow, a labourer, stated, that after the deceased's thigh had Iran set, he conveyed her in a cart tee Finehley workhouse, and on his arrival there informed the overseers of the occident. They went and saw the deceased lying in the cart, but refused her ad mittanne into the workhouse, and desired him to drive her to the above Hospital. That he accordingly did so, and on the road de. ceased repeatedly requested them to stop, and complained of being in violent pain. The last time he heard her speak was at Wing ton, when she exclaimed, "Oh my back !" He arrived at the Hospital about twelve o'clock at night, but the deceased died be fore she arrived there. He thought she died coming through Is lington. Wm. Tooley, hndbcnsargh of Finehley, who accompanied the lest witner to town with the deceased, confirmed his statement. The Canner strongly remarked on the conduct of the parish officers. Wm. Birch, one of the surgeons of the Vospital, described the native of the injuries the deceased had received. Thos. flack, the coachman, was then tilled in, and after being cautioned by the Coroner pot to say anything that might tend to crimiratc himseir, he shortly addressed the Jury, and stated that the afrrir was altogether accidental. The Jury, alter a short deliberation, returned the following ver dict :—That the deveused crime' by her death accidentally, by be ing rua wen by the cosh and twines, on which they levied a deo dead of .5/. and at the aurae time expressed their indignation at the conduct of the overseers.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. FIRST SPRING MEETING. NEWMARIET, FRIDAY, APRIL 22. His Royal Highness the Duke of York left the Palace, at New market, for the course, this morning, and on the conclusiod of the day's races departed for town. The Dukes of Rutland and Grafton, Lords J. Fitzroy and G. Bentinck, Sir John Shelley, Colonels Udny, Russell, Aubrey, and many others, were present, moat of whom remained here till Satur day. Christopher Wilson, Esq., the father, was present, accom panied by his Lady, and both appeared in excellent health and spirits. An instance of the benevolence of Mrs. 11 ilson, who is the " Lady Bountiful" of this part of the country, occurred dur ing the run for the Newmarket Stakes. A poor man fell down in a fit by her carriage, near the Judges' stand ; she immediately ren dered the neeesury assistance, had him carried home, and has since called at his humble residence, furnishing him with every thing requisite for the comfort of himself and family. The Jockey Club dinner was attended by the Duke of Grafton, Lords J. Fitzroy and G. Bentinek, Sir J. Shelley, G. Wortley, Esq., 111. P., Colonel Udny, and several other members. The following is a more particular account of the day's running: Alatch.—Brother to Addy and Whalebone c. 1) M. 6 and 7 to 4 on Addy, who won easy by a length—rode by Arnull. Whalebone by Goodison. .Match. — P anting and Selim c. T.Y.C. 6 and 7to 4 on Selim.—lt was thought that if Pantina lost this race Grenadier would not run his match, but she came up and won in clever style by a length ; rode by Buckle; Selim by It. Boyce. Alatch—Conviction and Pucelle. P.M. Our express having been sent of on Friday in groat haste, an error occurred in stating the winner. The following will be found correct Stonehewer's Conviction, flat llb. . . Duke of Grafton's Pucelle, 85t. 91b. - 2 2 and 3 to 1 on Pucelle. This was a remarkably fine and true run race, and has not been surpassed this season ; and, from the weights being so equally apportioned, they ran reck and neck till nearly home, when Conviction let slip and won by a neck ; rode by Arnull, Pucelle by Barnard. Tlie Newmarket Stakes. D. 31. 7 to 4 and 2 to I agst Cramer, and d to I art Crockery, who was thought little of. Camel was a great public favourite, and would have been still more so had not his shins appeared very sore. Ile made running, and kept in front nearly all the way but close at home he swerved, when Crockery shot a-head, and won cleverly by half a length. Rode by S. Day. Dockery jockeyed Camel in fine style ; when he swerved the first time, George handled his whip so judiciously that be brought him straight, and would have done so on the second occasion had there been time. Buckle rode Cramer. Goodison TeasdaJe, "'Awards Bolero, Wheatley Mr. Rogers's, and Amull Lord G. Cavendish's colt, who broke down. blatcb—Bsarre and Grenadier. A. F. 5 to 2 and 3 to 1 on Bizarre, who mt: ie his own running the whole way. and won, though not without diffizultj, by half a length. Rode by Amull, Grenadier by Buckle. Match—Ajax and Wildwood—First half of Ab. 31. 5 and 7 to 4on Ajax. This was an interesting race, as betting men thought him a bad-tempered horsc, and were doubtful of his running home kind; however, they jumped off; and Ajax, to their astonishment, made all the running and won cleverly; his ad. versary all the time crying out " bellows to mend." Robinson rode Ajax, and S. Barnard the other. Match—Ajax and Humbug—D.M. 7to 4 and 2tol on Ajax. This Match requires very little ob. serration. The loser proved how properly lie was christened, for he humbugged his backers. Ajax, rade by Robinson, won easy— Amull rode Humbug. So little was Ajax expected to win either of his Matches, (being a very false horse) that when information of his success was carried to Pettit's stables, the messenger was regaled with real Cogniac, and a plentiful supply of plum-pudding, provided as an addendum to the jockey's supper. Ajax is in future to be called Hero. A ludicrous trick was played off on the landlord of the Welling. ton this morning. A wag, for whom he had drawn many a cork, observing him absorbed in the business going on, extracted the linch-pins of his buggy, so that when he applied the whip, with an intention of moving to another part of the Heath, to have a better view of the running for the Newmarket Stakes, the wheels separated from the body of the chaise, and Boniface was upset, occasioning considerable mirth to the spectators. We can assure our leaders that Buckle rides Mr. Udry's Muley Colt for the Derby, and Amull, Rufus. Great credit is due to the Judge, Mr. Clarke, for the precision with which the dechions of the different Stakes and Matches have been given, particularly on those which have been so nicely con cluded. Beresford kept the course in excellent order throughout the week, and every other arrangement was minutely attended to. INTELLIGENCE EXTRA.

Vice-Admiral Sir H. Neale has transmitted to this office a letter from Capt. Hamilton, of the Cambrian, stating that two iratical ves sels, carrying 1 gun, and about 30 men each, were captured on the 31st of Jan , last, in the Channel of Negropont, by the boats of his Ma. i jesty's ships Cambrian and Seringapatam, under theorders of Lieut. i Marsham, first of the Cambrian. When these pirates were first e+l discovered, they were in chase cf an lonian vessel; anti thee* being reason to suspect (as W 37 afterwards found to be the fact), th they had shortly before plundered another vessel under the same sag. Captain Hamilton sent Lieutenant Alarsitarn, in one of the Cambrian's boats, with a Greek interpreter, to desire that they would come down to his Majesty's ships for examination ; but the pirates having refused to comply with this desire, Lieutenant Mar sham was joined by the other boats of the Cambrian, and by those of the Seringapatam, sent by Captain Hamilton's orders to his support. On the approach of the boats the pirates commerced finng upon them front their guns, and with musketry, And perse vered in so doing notwithstanding the endeavour of Lieutenant Alarsham to prevail upon them to desist, who, after exhausting, even under their fire, every means of persuasion, was obliged at last to attack them, and the pirate vessels were then in the most gallant manner boarded and carrieL after a desperate resistance on the part of their crews, of whom few only could be taken pris o ner s, the ria e f r oieo nu t m e be s b ei ng The officer s and so rit,,eon on i: acquitted th this occasion with the utmost gallantry, and the whole of their conduct is noticed by Captain Hamilton in terms of high com mendation.
