")41'eurne.i Siftings of Tee:min:ter after HM oro Teflll, before the Loin, CsitEr JUSTICH and a Common Jury. • WALTON V. GUEHIt• This was an action for board and lodging, found and provided by . .,the_lilaititiff for the defendant's wife. Mr. Scant-ten twitted the plaintiff's care. The plaintiff was by track a stone-mason, but had, by honest industry, acquired a trifling independence, and now resided in a house, which was his own property, in Pitt-street, Fitzroy-square. The defendant was We attorney, residing at Liverpool, and the present action was brought to recover the debt duc for a twelvemonth's board and letigiog, supplied by the plaintiff to the defendant's wife. The circumstances which the present ease exhibited, were such as the jury were sometimes unhanp.!7 obliged to hear detailed, however 'painful they might be. It appeared, that owing to the cruel treat rant which Mrs. Green had experienced from her husband. a Acre hereon took place between them in the year 1818, and a deed of saparatioe was regularly meparetl, by which the defendant under ;oak to allow to her the sum of 60/. a-year for her support. But thitiollewance had not been paid. The consequence was, that after arntral fruitiest' applications had been made to the defendant by :Mrs.lireen hermit. to be allowed to live at home, and to hare that mrion exieecied to her which she had a right to receive from .be was ultimately compelled to resort to the charity of her (fiends, and her own industry. But unable thus to support herself any linger, she had been at length obliged to incur the debt which wan the subject of the present action. In April, lihn. Mrs. Green took apartments at the plaintiff's house, and boarded with his family. She continued to do this up to the month of December, when she, for a time, left, without, however, having paid the plain. site When she toot the lodgings, she represented herself to be the wife of the defendant, and that she was living separately from him tet the annuity settled upon her. In the course of led year, she rammed to the plaintiff's house, where she still livid. The plaintiff not being able to get any money from her, and the re 1302 given by her being, that her husband had re fused to pay up the annuity, application was made to the defendant. There could be no doubt of the liability of the defendant. But his reply to the letter gent him was one of a most ertraordinaey nature. end which he (Mr. Emden) thought of all ahem was the meet revolting attempt lie had ever known made by it husband to ceenerate himself tram the liability of paying his ey'fe's debts. He did not merely allege the adultery of his wife ke?esegitert to their separation, or even to their marriage, but lie in letters most positively represented her as having absconded from his toitee, and living in open prostitution ever since—nay, he weaned her of following this course many years before he matrird her. But what degree of credit was due to such statements the Jury themselves would judge. It was impossible to believe that an attorney, v!," must be presumed to possess some little know 1-dee of the law, being fully acqnainted with these circumstance, tereld have ever executed a deed of separation with such a woman, whereby he bound himself to allow to her the sum of 60!. a year, !vireo he must have known that such a deed would be to all intents nuiratid void, as the law would, in the case of the adultery of his Wife, wholly exonerate him from maintaining her. This attack, therefore; on the chsracter and chastity of his wife, several years after their separation, must be a premeditated one, and made only to rowe,ffm promote of the present defence. He should, however, he trusted, be able to overturn such a defencealtagether, for by law, if a husband cruelly treated his wife so that it was not safe for her to remain frith him, he was bound to pay those who supported her. He would prove that the wife of the intendant had been turned out of dooms after being beaten by him ; that he would further prove that the defendant immediately lived in an open state of adultery, mighe almost say incest, with the sister of his wife: that he af. En-wards discarded her, and was now living in adultery with another woman. The defendant lied since become a bankrupt; the bank ruptcy, however, would nee be a bar to the deed, although it might discharge any linear: due to the time of the bank r:ctcy. The Learned Counsel then read several letters writ. the by the defendant to different persons, in answer to ap nncrions made by them for trolley on his wife's account, which were afterwards read by the Clerk in Court. In con y:lesion, Mr. Sairlett observed, that at all crests the plaintiff could riot be supposed cognizant of the character of the defendant's wife; sod therefore might not to be a sufferer. He however did rot anticipate that so hazardous an attempt would be made to-day as to act, up the Immoral conduct of 3lrs. Green in defence to this action. lie ebbuld therefore content himself by calling witnesses to prove the boane and lodging of Mrs. Green at the 'plaintiff's, and should thew that during the whole of the time she so lodged and boarded with him, her conduct was in every respect most proper, and her nerneanour 'hear that of a modest, respectable, and wee-educated lemale. Haying shown this, be should be entitled to their verdict. • Mrs. Litby was then examined--She Is the daughter of the phsintiffe Mrs. Green came to lodge at her father's house in April, 1822. Her father was a sculptor, and lived in Pitt-street, Fitzroy .square ; Mrs. Green remained there until December in the same year she came there again in January, 1824, and remains there at hit; time. She was provided with everything necessary. Witness thinks that,l6s. per week is a reasonable charge for her board. title was also provided with a sitting-room and a bed-room.

Mr. Kendall was next examined.—l am an attorney at Liver. pool ; I saw the defendant and his wife execute the deed of separa tion ; I have understood Mrs. Green to be cruelly treated by her husband. I went to the defendant's house on one occasion, when 1 was informed that 31ts. Green had been there, and that the de fendant had sent her to Bridewell, I was present at the Mansion_ House when Mr. and Mrs. Green were there. It was upon that occasion when she was sent to Bridewell. I saw her there, and she appeared very moth bruised, and appeared to have been beaten. She refused to leave the defendant's house until the deed of lepers ion was executed. I do not know w:iat means of sustenance this poor woman has bad since the execution of that deed., except by charity. I know her mother ; her name is Perkins. I also know 31 a Bendford she resides at Lucia Hall. Crosa.es untried by Mr. BnouOIELILM—My brother married Mrs. Green's sister. Mrs. Green's father, or reputed Lathes, was a tailor. Miss Blandford is not in Court. At the time I saw her face bruised it was when she had returned to the defendant's house the second time. I observed Mr. Green's windows were very much broken. Mrs. Green was sober when I saw her. I never saw her otherwise. I knew her about a year before she was married; she was then lir. ing with her father. I have visited her very little since she mar ried Mr. Green, and only at Mr. Green's house. She has, how ever, called on me several tuna since the separation, respecting the annuity being in arrest. 31y wife has occasionally seen her when she has come to town. Mrs. Kendsll's sister lives with me. I cannot say what intercourse Alex Green has had with her own fa mily. She lived with Mrs. Close in street, Liverpool. I know nothing at all as to the character or respectability of that house. Ido not know that she ever lived at Chester. Site nut tinly lived away from Liverpool some time, but I believe she lived principally in Louden. Prom the knowledge which you have of Mrs. Green's character would you allow lire. Kendall to associate with her ?--I did not wish any of my family to visit any of the family of the name of Green. Re-examined by Mr. 51 ^.......i1tLETT—1 ceased to have any inter. course wit:i Miu Perkins treat the time she married Mr. Green. I ci I not allow my family to visit Mra. Thomasin, who is the sister of Mrs. Green. it may be six mouths ago since I saw Mrs. Green. The following letters were then put in by Mr. SCARLETT and read : " Liverpool, Augustl6, 1818.

" I will further inform you, that 1 have since duly obtained my certificate.

This was done by me satisfactorily, and both the summonses discharged. " I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, " Z 4 m. GREEN." " 29, Northuorberland-street, Strand, London, h.;ept. 29, 1824. Sir,—On the receipt a your letter, I lost no time in sending to Mrs. Green, Tour wife, who called on me this day, and stated, in reply, that she was never in confinement at your or at the in stance of any person ; bat that your conduct to her induced the Ma getrate of Liverpool to COITItIIit you to prison until you found' bail to answer the charge then made against you, which she states was of a very serious description; and afterwards, fearing that the consequences might Irave proved very serious to you, her feelings would not allow - be to prosecute bee complaint further. " In the most solemn manna she denies the allegation you make against her chastity, and adds, that if every person possessed the same feeling towards her, that you did at the time you turned her our, worse then prostitution mutt have ensued ; that you heat her most unmercifully, and then turned her into the street without a sixpence in her pocket; debauched her sister, whom you took to live in her place ; and that you are this moment living in open adultery with another female.

Witness is the Governess of the Charity School of St. Paul, Covent-garden. fler first acquaintance with Walton was in consequence of an ap. plication being made by her to have a girl from the school as a servant. Before a girl is permitted to go from that school into any family, inquiry is always made regarding such family. This inquiry was made in the present instance, and turned out satisfac tory. Witness saw Mrs. Green several times at the plaintiff's house, and never saw anything improper in her conduct. Mazy examined.—l reside in Charles-street, Fitzroy-square. I and my husband have lived there twenty-four years. I was se quaintest with Mrs. Green ; she was then at the house of a very respectable family in Down-street, Piccadilly. This tru about three years ago I do not know that she was living with those person; they were Mr. and Mee. Ashton, who had been the steward and Isrly'a maid of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. I never saw anything but what was very proper in Mrs. Green's conduct. I never knew her addicted to drinking or to any sort of vice. 1 always received her as a respectable woman. James Strachan—l am a carpenter and builder. I recollect Mn.s Green lodging at my house from April 1820 to March 1821. I do not know where she came from. She always conducted herself with the greatest propriety as far as I knew. Cross-examin-She b oarded as well as lodged at my house. I do not know what she paid a week, nor do I know whether she had all or a past of her food there. I don't know how Rho got her money, but she told me she had an annuity from her husband. She made so matt of that. She did not carry on any trade or business in We house. Re-examined.—l had not the least reason to suppose she was a woman of loose principles. She appeared to be a modest woman, and never received any male visitors. Mr. BROUGHAM now rose to address the Jury.—He regretted that the case should have gene so fax as it had done; but he trusted the Jury would perceive, from what had already transpired, that it was no fault of Mr. Green that they were lead into an inquiry of a most unpleasant nature, and not at all usual to arise in actions simply to recover a debt for meat, drink, and lodging, and in con sequence of which inquiry, some temporary interest had been at tempted to be excited towards parties who were not at all con cerned in the main issue, and had no interest whatever in it ; and were but collateraly and incidentally concerned in what had now in fact become the only main and delicate question, namely, the character of Mrs. Green. He would not sly any thing that should reflect on the character of Mr. Walton—he might have been taken in by this woman in the same way as Mr. Green was by her specious arts,' though us Air. Walton, the consequences would be very trifling, indeed, compared with the consequences which had unhappily fallen on the defendant—whose situation was one, per haps, which could not possibly be of a more aggravated nature. But of the plaintiff, who came here to-day, decked out in the as sumed garb of a sculptor, though really he was nothing more than the servant of a very respectable stone mason—of him or of his house, or of his harlequin son-in-law, or of his opera-going daughter, he had nothing to say ; there was no ground for aspersing him, his wife, or his household ; but, of one of his unfortunate in mates, he Mr. Brougham) was bound to make some obser vations. This was his misfortune; much rather would his client have had no' such defence to make. Would to God that this woman had a character! Then the Jury would not this day have had to hear the sad history which it was his duty to unfold to them. The story which the defendant meant to tell was, that he had, most unhappily for his peace, unknow ingly married a woman who had been a common prostitute from her earliest years, and who afterwards followed up her own 'bond nable and detestable courses; that he was compelled to turn her out of doors ; and that she had ever since been to him a bane and a curse. But his Learned Friend had told them, that this woman was his wife, and that he was therefore bound to maintain her. They had heard of a settlement, and a deed of separation having been made. No doubt the defendant did execute such a deed, and with the full knowledge of all the woman's infamy. But it was argued, that this could not be the case, or the defendant would not have done so, as the law would not, in that ease, have made him liable for her debts. This, however, was not as the defendant argued. He had been annoyed by her so repeatedly—had been summoned before the County Court, before the Magistrates, and had had letters after letters, pressing upon him tor payment of this woman's debts, that in order to put an end to this perpetual annoyance, he consented to sign this deed. Finding, however, that it did not have that effect, he then resisted making any fur. ther allowance. The Learned Gentleman then commented on the delay which the plaintiff had suffered to take place, and said it was odd that Ale. Walton should never have suspecte d anything, front the very singular manner in which his lodger was living. The whole of these circumstances appeared very odd, and consi derably tainted the action. But what followed front the omissions mado by the plaintiff's Counsel, who had not called a single wit. ness that could speak of the character of Mrs. Green before her coming to Lohdon? It would not do for them to say they were taken by surprise, and that they did not suppose the defendant meant to impeach her character. That plea would not serve them, for his Learned Friend bad called evidence to prove her character to be good. But all the persons he had called were strangers, save Mr. Kendall, who would not have been here but for the fact of his being the witness to the deed ; and what had he proved ? Nothing but what led to suspicion. But where's Mrs. Green's mother, her father, her sister ? Why was not Miss Blandford called ? There was the sister too of the plaintiff who lived in the house, and who must know the character of Mrs. Green, and yet she was not called. Mr. SCARLET? said, that lady had come into Court since his Learned Friend had begun his speech, and he wished her to be called. Mr. Bnoueiram-1 would rather you would call Miss Bland. ford. (A laugh.) Miss Walton was then examined—ls the eldest daughter of the plaintiff; recollects Mrs. Green boarding and lodging there; she always conducted herself with a deal of propriety ; if she had not done so, site would not have been allowed to remain in their Cross-examined by Mr. BROUGHAIe—I was not here yesterday. I was sent fur to-day. It'hat time ?—About twelve o'clock. (It was now just two mi. nutes after twelve.) What, you came by Harlequin's wand? (A laugh.)—No, I came in a coach. lelr. linouotteie resumed—The Jury would see how all this was. This lady had not been eubmenaed here yesterday, but find ing the shoe to pinch, off went Mr. Hardett the attorney, and de sired her to come Just at twelve, when off she tomes—Presto ! and here site is. (A laugh.) " What," said this lady, " files. Green, my .-frieted, oddities& to drinking 3 ible. She is not; most cer. tainly she is not." But who ever told anything aleaut her drinking? If the letters, however, which he was about to show were not writ. ten under the influence, he would not say of the God of %Vine, but of the God of Gin, then nothing ever vu so. But why did not some of het own family come forward and say she was not a com mon prostitute? for that was the real question. But look at tife hardened nature of their case ; rather than have the infamy of Mr. Green concealed, rather than forego the attack upon him of his living in adultery with her Oster, this woman was willing to have herself charged with prostitution. " If I am unchaste," says dm " my sister is so too, for she is living with Green in open adultery." This was their defence:—but this had not been proved. If, how ever, he should prove the adultery of Mrs. Green. the adultery of the husband would rot be a good answer to it. This had been de cided in the case of (lower v. Hancock. in 6 Term Reports. — The Learned Counsel then read extracts from :vend letters from' the wife to the husband ; they were couched in the most vulgar and disgusti lc language; and, indeed, appeared to be productions of some lunatic ; she talked of " being d—d but what she'd have her wri,slWs"—then of her dearest dear Frederick, with whom she was living—•• Cuckoo, cuckoo !"—And one went on this way: —" The officers are fine fellows—drive tandem every day—lots of fun—col de rol ; height), says Rowley !" and a lot of other stiff t eet he uai L l ea y r r n id ed icu co lo u u n s. n o l c u ea i s d ir l i . il a l s y a in p t roo ern t ils of ed th w is ith lad a y few ,s m os a t o h n iv this, education. The present action wee an appeal from the knowing to the ignorant ; for not one whams had been called who actually knew any thing of this woman: she had a father, a mother, is brother, but not one of them stepped forward to give her a good word, notwithstanding it was represented that she was so inhu manly treated by her husband. Ho should put the letters he had alluded to In evidence. which would sufficiently prove her grossly profligate life, and entitle him to a verdict. William Archer was clea.. to Mr. Green, at the time Mr. Green ; resided at Kenton. near Liverpool. In the morning Mr. Green was in the habit of leaving his house at Keato n. and going to Li verpool, which was his place of business, and returning home in the evening. Mrs. Green almost universally dressed herself for walking inimeliately that her husband left. and went out towards walking onh w er ath ret g u e rn ntl hom etnen. e. • sired tbc gentleman rot to go with her any further, for fear her fa .lp one i n occasion n tal has r ed gentleman f y re a q e o frequently accompanied e ogi r e l n i:T h b it a e d h ' se her. house. She then d e . ther should see her. On her return home she always changed her dress, and put on thedress she was accustumed to wear in the house. About twelve months after the first separation, she came to the de fendant's house ; she was then very drunk ; she commenced an at tack upon the windows, and broke a great number of them, Mr. Green wee obliged to go away, but Mrs. Green remained in the house all night ; she had sonic gin in the office which she sent the servant for. Mr. Green did not strike Mrs. Green ; there was sonic blood upon her face, which was occasioned by her cutting herself in breaking the windows. On the following day the separa tion deed was signed. Mrs. Green toll witness that whilst she was away she bad been with a gentleman at Manchester, and that she was going to him again ; she raid a lso that atm had been with other gentlemen on the Continent . The letters now produced are in Mrs. Green's hand-writing . Crose.examined--Witneas is turned 21 ; he has been with Mr. Green since he was twelve or thirteen years of age. Witness is Mr. Green's son ; his mother is alive. Witness recollects seeing Mr. Green's former wife once; he thanks that she died eight or nine years before the second marriage ; he had one child by her, which is dead ; at the time witness accompanied Mrs. Green to Liverpool witness was fourteen or fifteen years of age ; witness did not com municate what he has now related to the defendant until within the last twelve months. Mary Bleage.—l live in Watkinson's-street, Liverpool ; I am • dress-maker. I knew Mrs. Green when she lived there ; I lived with her before the separation. I came to her just before the Prin cess Charlotte died, and went away with her. I took her toe friend of mine. I have frequently seen her write, end know her hand writing. I believe these letters to be her writing. I went with her when she wee; to Chester. I have seen her writs letters to Mr. Green from that place. 1 have frequently seen her in liquor before she left her husband. I have heard abusive language from her to her husband before and after she was drunk ; I have heard her call him ad— —d old cuckold ; I have heard her say a person by the name of Frederick had bestowed that honour upon him. I have known her to go out in servant's clothes to disguise herself, and also In men's clothes ; she used to leave her husband's house in that dress. Site used to hurry back before her husband came home. She often hurried.sue too. She went to Norton-street, at the mess house of the 18th Regiment ' • she threw dirt up at the window, anti the servant would come down, but 1 never went in with her. After she :had said what she had to gay to this confidential servant of Frederick's, she came back to me, and re went thro' somenarro* streets ; she then gave me her bonnet and tippet, and would wrap up her head in her cloak, and go away, and leave me for some time, and then return and hurry home. I have seen her in an officer's bed-room ; I have seen him take her round the waist ; she resisted a little ; I was ordered out. I waited half an hour ; I was not im patient ; I knocked at the door, and when she came out she Rub confused a little, and her clothes were rumpled. She has told me of what passed with her and Frederick, which was of a very indecent nature. She used to live at Mts. Clarke's house; that is a house of ill fame. She went to live at Mrs. Porter's ; it was represented as a respectable house, but I cannot think it was such, because the old woman permitted a gentleman to come there, and remain with Mrs. Green frequently all night. The gentleman allowed her fire guineas a week. Cross-examined—l am a widow. My husband used to live upon his propaty. I get my living by dress-making. 1 was much shocked at the conduct of Mrs. Green. I um 32 years old ; Mrs. Green is about twelve months younger. I went first to live with her to make dresses for her. I came to London on Sun day by coach, with Mr. Green. I saw him in the morning. lam staying in the MGM house with him. I never saw him at Liverpool in any other house except his own. I know a great deal of Mrs. Thomarrin. She lived with Mr. Green before I 'editor. Her living with hint was always agreeable to Mrs. Green, as I understood. I have informed Mr. Green of his wife's conduct at different times ; I did so before he left Everton. It was about a fortnight or three weeks after Mrs. Green left him. No doubt Mr. Green was quite astonished at what I told him. He placed the most undoubted confidence in her. She got in liquor and quarrelled with him, and threw the wash-hand basin at him, which cut him very much. She was going down to the post-office to receive a note from Major Bail, and we met Mr. Green, and 1 begged her not to look back, but she did, and saw him go into a house of ill fame. The quarrel was that she had discovered Mr. Green with another woman. On my oath I did not point out Mr. Green as going to that place. I did not wish her to look back. 1 never went to those houses in my life. When I came back I said now that I found what sort of a house I was in, I would stay no longer. 1 staid in the house till dark. Mr. Green then said to Mrs Green, " You may go, and take your maid with you." I have Lequently heard her call him "an old cuckold," but that did not make him have any suspicion, nor did I ever suspect her—although she was with the o ffi cers privately, I did not suspect her of any thing . criminal. (A laugh.) I've not seen Mrs. Green lately. I went with her to Miss Blandford's, and stopped three days. I aUlnot say where we then went. I rather think we went to Mrs. —in —street—upon my oath I did not leave her at Miss Blandford'e. I believe ,the letter now shown me is her hand-writing. By Mr. Dm:runners—Nothing in the least improper ever passed between me and Mr. Green. I never saw a more gentlemanly man than Mr. Green in my life. Alr. Been Guam—Yea ; but unfortunately many men are called very gentlemanly, who are at the same time very womanly. 1 never suspected Mrs. Green guilty of any criminal conduct till after the scene I witnetsed at Chester. Atter the quarrel Mr. Green broke open some drawers rind found some letters. 1 have seen this hater before; it is from Lieutenant Duckett. I have seen it in her hands. This is another letter from Major Ball. There is no latter from Frederick. He had left LiverpooL I know she has met him since. There is a letter here front Itlrs. Green to Major Bill. She often had the letters addressed to her in different names, some times to " Mrs. Dudley," " Muire," " Blaine," and when:she was at Chester she went by ' the name of " Laura Taylor." By 31r.SCAIII.ETT-1 saw these le tent on Monday last. I've seen these letters in Mrs. Green's poem& in while Mr. an d Mrs Green were living com&rtably together. Before Mrs. Green left. she told me that Mr. Green had got possession of her letters. Mr. BROUGHAM requested the letters to be read. Ale. SCARLETT raid, he would not for a moment have supported the cause after the statement of his Learned Friend, if he had not reason to believe that the letters were not genuine. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE-1 have not interposed for that I very reason. If one letter can be proved to be her handwriting, I there's an end of the question. His Lordship then looked at the letters, but thought they were . too indecent to be read. Mr. SCAILETT, having consulted with his client, addressed the r Jury, and said, that although he had his own opinion of the case, . yet he would not trust the interests of his client upon the evidence r which had ben produced to-day. In consenting, however, to be nonsuited, he did it only with a view that the whole of the circum t stances might be inguircd into in s different manner. He begged , to state that the plaintiff was not at all connected with Mr. or Mrs. r Green, and could not be considered in any way affected by what . had transpired. Mr. Boot GHAM—I remind my Friend that I have not said any thing to affect the character of the plaintiff. Mr. SCARLET"' —I shall withdraw the ease; but I hope a time will come for its being more fully investigated. The Loan Cairo JUSTICE—I think you have acted very t wisely, Mr. Scarlett. Whatever was the conduct or the miSCAß duct of Mr. and Mrs. Green, the plaintiff's character has not been in the least effected by ! I Plaintiff coesuiterf. QUIEEN.S4IIJARK. Yesterday Abigail Wood and Mary Ass Way, two very decent. looking young women, were charged before Mr. WatrE with l:ay. ing stolen a quantity of wine and other property belonging to 31r. Keele, surgeon, residing in Sloane-street, Chelsea. Sarah Pennington deposed that the prisoner Wood, with another fenbile, called at 41, Cheyne.walk, last Saturday night, where the prosecutor has a dispensary and keeps his wine. TI itnesa showed them into the dispensary. The prisoner Wood, whom she knew lived as Cook in hl r. Keele's family, came down to the kitchen, re. questing a light, as she had cane after some wine. IVitoess at cornomied ber to the cellar, and saw her till a large basket with bottles of wine; could not speak as to quantity. She went up the area steps, leaving eight bottle", saying they were for Mr. Williams (Mr. heck's assistant) and herself. The prisoner deposited the basket outside, and, returning the same way, went up to her cons. panion. Witness let them oat by the front door, and saw both carrying the basket between them. Witness did not suspect any. thing until the following meaning, when she communicated the transaction to the assistant, who in consequence informed his muter. Robert G. Williams, assistant to the prosecutor, stated, that both prisoners called at the Dispensary on Saturday night. The prisoner IVood introduced the other as her sister. She then said she had come after some of her things; never mentioned any th ing about wine, and went down stain. About half an hour afterwards she returned, and in a few minhtes both went away. Witness did not observe them with a basket. Mr. Keels mid i from the information he had received he went in company with Mr. Flood, a county Magistrate, and two constables, to Paradise-tow ; from thence he traced the prisoners to 11, Charles street. The prisoner Way answered the door. Witness asked for Mrs. Wood, who had left his service last Monday week. She de nied knowing such a pinion. Witness answered it was of no use to deny her, as she knew the business he ease upon. They beckoned to the =stables and all proceeded below stairs, and found Wood. She was pl aced in custody. Way, after being pressed, produced a doyen bottles of wine from s cupboard, There were several others empty. The trunks were afterwards marched, and some cast-off clothes, belonging to the prosecutor, were disco. vered, with a phial of laudanum and a few other things. Amongst them was an old black-letter book, printed two centuries back, and were valuable, and the key of the cellar. The prisoner Way, in her defence, stated that she went out to market with her companion, who proposed calling at the Diapen. sexy for some things. She waited up stairs for about half an hour, and insisted in carrying the basket, which was covered over with an apron, and did not know its contents at the time. Woods appealed to her master for mercy. Vic) , sere fully committed to Newgate for trial, and the patties bound over to prosecute. Considerable sympathy was excited for both misoners, who, oo hearing they were to he committed to Newgate, involuntarily ex. claimed—" Oh, my babe !"—" Oh, my child !" Wood fainted twice during the examination.

Rudland stood indicted for embezzling one sovereign and seven shillings, on the 11th January, the property of Francis Mat toon, 33, Brook-street, Holborn. The Jury immediately found him Guilty, and the Cootie sea. tented him to be transported for seven years. SENTENCES. Barnard Leirnan, who was on Tuesday convicted of selling se. vereigns, knowing them to be counterfeit, was this morning son tenced to be publicly whipped, and imprisoned in the House of Correction for the term of two years, and to be kept to hard labour. Daniel Leveridge, Henry Oliver, Henry Barton, and Phi)* Ward, also convicted on Tuesday of selling counterfeit coin, were then sentenced to be twice publicly whipped, and imprisoned two years in the House of Correction and kept to hard labour. Isaac Salomon', alias .Martin, a lad about 16, similarly con victed, was sentenced, considering that from his youth he had been entrapped by the above prisoners, to be whipped once, and one year's imprisonment in the Fame prison. At half-past two, the following prisoners were placed at the bar to receive sentence of death : Ilenry Goff, burglary ; Henry Williams, stealing in a dwelling house ; William Probers, horse stealing; John Thompion, high way robbery ; William Sergeant, horse stearrig; John Cobbett, burglary ; Stephen Medwinter, burglary ; Frederick Morgan, stealing in &dwelling-house ; Elizabeth Doyne,atealing in a dwell ing-house • W illians August, stabbing with intent to do bodily harm award David Dunn, burglary ; James Goff, burglary ; Edwanl Crawley, burglary ; Henry Brown, stealing in a dwelling house ; John Bowers, stealing in a dwelling-house. When the Officer of the Court put the usual question to William Probert, why judgment should not be passed on him, the psi. Nonce read the following address from a paper which he held in his hand : M r LORD—In soliciting leave to obtrude myself on the notice of your Lordship for a very few minutes, it is not my intention to occupy your valuable time by any interruption with respect to my past life, but to urge something on my own behalf, which may, perhaps, be of some service to me hereafter, when my unfortunate case shall undergo consideration in a higher quarter. Should Ibe out of order, your Lordship will have the goodness to signify the same, and I shall think it my duty immediately to desist. I, like all others similarly situated with myself, naturally look to my Gracious Sovereign for some mitigation of that awful sentence which your Lordship is now about to pronounce on me. 1 am confidert that the public prejudice, which for some length of time has operred powerfully against me,. may still continue, but will not have any weight with ha Ma jesty's Council, or render me an unworthy member of the Royal mercy. It is therefore I humbly implore permission, before I shall be removed from th's bar, once more to offer a solemn appeal to all who shall hear me, and to my country, that in this instance of the crime of which I have lately been convicted, I did not act from any other motive than that of the most heart-rending distress, which bad put it out of my power to obtain a morsel of bread for the subsistence: of myself and family. Whatever my final fate may be, I wish not to sink into my grave with the curses of my countrymen on my head. I can truly declare that the fatal event which was the princi pal cause of my subsequent miseries and degradation, was, in no shape, contrived or executed with my concurrence or knowledge. 1 possess no more than an after-knowledge of the deed. My , great distress and poverty at this time can be well known, for although I was assisted by my Council on my trial, the fee was kindly sent me, and the gentleman who prepared my case and assisted in my defence, I could not rwompense with one sixpence. This distress and poverty was brought on me by being almost an outcast from society. No liends--no employment, nor any could I pro. cute—with a wife and two children, who looked up to me for sup port--my Lord, when it is considered that no violence was used, and the mare the property of a relation, I thought I should not have been pursued with such severity. These circumstances, from your Lordship's great htimanity, will not be forgotten when my unfortunate case shall be represented to his Most Gracious Majesty. Having said thus much, k will now become a duty required of me, to prepare myself by prayer, by patience, and by resignation, that whether I lire, or whetherl die, I may be an object of mercy to my God, and of some commiseration to my fellow men. I humbly im. plore your Lmdship's pardon, and only pray that my . wretched life may be spared on such conditions as my Most Gracious Sovereign may be pleased to extend. lo conclusion, he begged to express his sincere thanks to Mr. Wontner, for his humane attention to him whilst in his custody, and also to the other cfficera of the prison. His I.onnsttrr said, that the matter contained in the address was rather a subject for the consideration of his Majesty . in Coun eil than any argument against the legality of the conviction, cc the sentence of death that was to follow it so far it was of ro avai'. What its ultimate success would be. he of course could not say, as it was not for him to anticipate what might be determined on at a future stage. His Lordship then, after a very impressive address. passed sentence of Death on the several prisoners. His Lordship, nn p sing sentence, did not make the slightest allusion to the per due' ir crime of any of the prisoners. l'robert was dressed in a black coat and waistcoat. Whilst in Court he appeared quite collected; perhaps his manner bordered on indifference. His address was delivercel in a clear and distinct voice. When he came to that part of it is which allusion is made to the poverty of his wife and children, he became evidently affected, and then only it was that he exhibited the slightest emotion. The tollowing yrisonen were next sentenced Mary Arne VI ilson, Jane 111'Donald, Evan Evans, Jas.
