The Loin CitaircELLoa. in reference to the application that had been made in this cause, for the defendant to be allowed to (atm the money out of Court upon giving an undertaking to pay it bock again if requited so to do, said that he cr•uld not consent to &a large a sum being taken out merely upon an undertaking that it al id be returned if necessary. Mr. HORSE observed, that perhaps his Lordship would permit It ill of the money to be taken out upon ouch an undertaking, rr es.m the whole mm, upon Mr. Mellish giving a security to pay it back again if it should become necessary. The LORD CIIAXCELLOR thosaght the proposition perfectly reasonable. FT.-PARTE ►ICKERING. IN RE STOCKTON RANK. Mr. HORNE said, that in this case his Lordship had directed • meeting of creditors to be convened, for the purpose of deciding whether they would continue the present assignees, or proceed to the choice of new ones. It bring the practice for many creditors to ex cute powers of attorney authorising third persons to vote for them at the choice of assignees. which practice iiad been followed ir. the present Instance, the question which he wished to ask his lowitlship was, whether the powers of attorney that were given on toe choice of the present assignees would be sufficiently valid to empower the same parties to vote at the choice of the new as. wee:, or whether it was necessary that the creditors should go to the expense of executing fresh powers of attorney. The Loon CHANCELLOR was of opinion that new powers of at' wney must be executed, because a preliminary question required ►y his order to be decided wig, whether the panics would consent tr. retain the present assignees upon which question the powers of ;attorney acres ly executed could not give any authority to vote. P• TVIINVit, A I.I'NATIC. in the course of last Michaelmas Term a petition was presented or. behalf of Sir G. P. Turner, praying that the Lord Chancellor would permit the alleged lunatic to traverse the Inquisition of Lunacy, and that the same might be tried ht.fore a Special Jury in Bedfordshire, that being the county in ohieh Sir Gregory usually resided, and was consequently more gener_Oly known titan in Mid, (Ilene. where the Inquisition had been WV. A petition waa sub sequently presented on behalf of the Cnoimittee of the lunatic, praying that the Cann would. according to the late Art of Podia r:ent, limit a time for the trying of the traverse. In Hilary Term the Court seeordinglf ordered that Sir Gregory should he at liberty to traverse the Inquisition at the then Pest Bedford Assizes. Hr. Taestor • now presented another petition on the same SLlbject. He said. that in consequence of there being only a period of seventeen days between the date of his Lordship's order and the Bedford Assizes, it had been impracticable for Sir Gregory to try the traverse as directed, there not being sufficient time for him to collect all his witnesses, two of whom were then residing in France. whose testimony it was msterial to obtain. As the Act of Pattie mon empowered his lbordshm to limit the time for traversing the Inquisition within six months, an obiection naturally arose she (her the order directing it to be tried at the then next Assizes was within the terms of the Act, for woo (-metal when those Assizes I mit take plae•. In further support of the present application, he -bad the affidavits of Dr. Burrows anti Dr. Ilaslam, both of shorn had seen and conversed whh Sir G. P. Turner, and they were both of opinion that there was neither imbecility nor delusion auout the mind of Sir Gregory; and that no necessity existed for ter- rigid attendance of the two keepers appointed over that unfor- ' tietate gentleman. There had, it was true, been three affidavits had in answer to these. They were by Ina. W tills. Sutherland, and Marra, who ail stated it to be their (motion that Sir Gregory was sill of unsound mind, and incapable of managing his own drain; tilt they did no: specify any of the eh tracteriatics of his malady. As there was a confliction in the opinions of these highly respect aide physicians, he thought the Court would not undertake to de cide without the intervention of a Jury ; and for this reason a pe tition to traverse the Inquisition had been preferred to that of one foe superseding the commission of lunacy. Mr. HEALD (for the Committee) said that the mischievous efleets resulting to the estate of the lunatic by these repeated pe:i. turns were extreme. The Committee were anxious that Sir Gre gory should have every means afforded him for showing that he woof snand mind st the time of the Inquisition, but they were at the mane time anxious that this question should he decided without delay* as while it was pending they were plated in the most wirer tam to-tuition, not knowing but that every one of their present acts at' hereafter be treated at to party treapusca.

Chiunel 1,1 DAY. e the Surrogate!. stated in the petition were KO general, that they could not be sped tinily answered. and therefore lie felt bound to ask his Lordship to dismiss it ; although he at the same time did not feel called upon to oppose any order his Lordship might be pleased to make, fur the petition to be amended with a view to the grout.Js upon which the traverse was asked for being more explicitly set forth. The Learned Counsel then adverted to the affidavits of Drs. Willis, Mont°. and Sutherland, and declared it to be his opinion, founded upon the statements of those Gentlemen. that there was no sub stantial ground for impugning the verdict found by the Inqui sition. 31r. SuPriest said, that on the part of Captain Turner he was instructed not to oppose the petition ; but at the same time it was the anxious wish of all the members of the family of the lunatic that the question should be set at rest as soon as possible. The Loan CHANCELLOR said, that previous to the late Act, any person was competent 10 present a petition to traverse the In quisition ; but that with respect to the party himself, he had no occasion to petition the Court at all, but had a right to traverse It, and to demand of the Chancellor that one of his office that traverse should issue; and Were was no limitation to the exercise of that right. But it often happened that this right was prejudicial to the pp arty himself, and therefore the Act had been passed, giving the Lord Chancellor a discretionary power to grant or to withhold the right of traversing the return of the Inquisition, after a certain period had elapsed. It was impossible to represent a ease in which such II limitation was more prudent to be fixed than the present, provided Sir Gregory Page Turner was in the unhappy situa tion he was, by a verdict of a lure, found to be. lie had never yet been able to learn why Sir Gregory was advised by any body about him to traverse the Inquisition. If the evidence of Dr. Burrows and Dr. Beldam did not go to establish the fact that sir Gregory wee at present of sound mind, and capable of managing I his affairs, their aftidavits would go t.t. nothing. Why then, if such affidavits could be made by such respectable characters, did not Sir Gregory present a short petition, to supersede the Com mission, instead of wishing to traverse the Inquisition; which would involve upon him the necessity of proving that he was not only of taund mind now, but was so in December, 1823, when the Inquisition was found, and had been so ever since ? In the first place, a traverse was not at all necessary ; and in the second, it would invoice an expense upon the estate of Sir Gregory, which he, as the guardian of that estate, was not at all willing to incur. Ile felt however, that a more sacred duty could not be imposed upon him than that of exercising the great poser with which he was invested ; and he would therefore must anxiously attend to any thing that 3lr. Treslove might be able to suggest on Tuesday next, why a t se should be allowed, instead of • petition for superseding the Commission being presented. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, WEDNESDAY, MAY N ROBINSON L. FLETCIIER. Mr. KXTOHT 111:1;5 . ;htiqhi; fra/TipeiitiOn from Mrs. M'Ma. bon, praying that his Honour would direct that it be referred to the Master, to consider as to a proper residence for the infant John Robinson, her child by a former husband, and also what sum of money should be paid to her by Mr. Fletcher, the guardian of the child, for its board and education since the death of its father,fand also for its future maintenance. The circumstances of the case were as follow :—Mr. Fletcher was left sole testamentary guardian of the child, and of course his legal title to the possession of the child was unquestionable ; but still it might be worthy the serious con sideration of tip Court, whether it would decide that au infant of four years old should be deprived of the care and attention of its mother. The child was taken from the house of its grandmother and surely it would be too much for Mr. Fletcher to possess himself of the child, and keep it separate front its mother, when there was no imputation whatever against her character or conduct. It was true she had married a second husband ; but not until two years after the death of the first, and he was a gentleman occupying a situation in life equal to her own. The only imputation against her was, that upon one occasion her child was ill in Liverpool, and she did not leave London to attend to it personally; but the fact was, that she was ill in London at the time, and wholly unfit to travel, of which fact he had the affidavit of her medical attendant. There was a somewhat singular coincidence, which might give a clue to Mr. Fletcher's conduct. By a comparison of dates, it would appear that it was on the 26th of January, 1826, that A" r. Fletcher took away the child, which was exactly one week after he had been applied to by Mrs. M'Malion's solicitor, for sn account of the sums spent on account of the children, John and George Robinson. and also of the amount of property accruing to them under their father's will. Mr. Fletcher's solicitor refused to give an account, and then it was that Mr. Y. thought proper to exercise his legal right as guardian. Up to the present moment Mr. Fletcher had rendered no account of the property, although a bill was filed for that pur. pose in Hilary Term. Mrs. Ill'Mahon was entitled to the interest of three thousand pounds. and Mr. I'. had admitted that there was sufficient property left, after the payment of all debts, to authorize him to pay that interest; but notwithstanding this, all that she had received in the way of interest was 110/., although it was nearly three years since the death of the testator. About 110/. hail been paid on account of the children, making in all 1901. Under these circumstances, he felt confident that his Honour would order the child to be restored pending the proceedings, and that it might be referred to the Master, to inquire into the extent of the fortune of that child, and also of his brother George Robinson. Alt. COE said that the child had been taken with the consent of its maternal grandmother, under whose care it was placed at the time; and the grandfather also was anxious that Mr. Fletcher should take both children under his care, professing as he (the grandfather) did to know nothing of Mr. Al'lllahon, and disap. proving his daughter's marriage with that gentleman. It appeared by the affidavit of Mr. Fletcher, that after the payment of debts and the reservation of the 30001. for Mrs. 31•31ahon, there would I not remain any very considerable sum for the children. It was his intention to claim the other child also, and as for the child whom he had taken, it was now one of his family. He had six children of his own, and this boy was in every respect treated as they were. It was true they had not sought to cast any imputation upon Mrs. Al`Mahon, had she not done so herself; but in the course of last October she had called on Mr. Fletcher, dressed in mourning, and when Mr. F. then mentioned the report as to her marriage, she said she supposed it was so. Thus she herself cast an imputation upon her marriage by concealing it. There was no imputation whatever against Mr. Fletcher, and he, therefore, hoped that the petition would be dismissed with costs. Mr. KNIGHT said that he felt eonfident that the Court would not determine to separate the child from its mother, whose conduct was above imputatton, slide that of Mr. Fletcher was wholly un. accountable, having left the lady without the income of 150/. per annum to which she was entitled, for nearly three years, daring which period he had paid her only 1101.1 As to her marriage, it was not by any means discreditable; llr. Al'Mahon being an officer in the army. It was impossible ' he thought, to separate the seizure a the child, upon the Gth of January, from the letter of the 28th of December preceding: and it was, therefore, only rea. sonable that the prayer of the petition should be acceded to. ! The VICE•CHANCELLOR said he was relieved from the neces. sity of decreeing that the child should be taken from its natural ! guardian in the present instance, because, in fact, the child was under the protection of its grandmother; therefore upon that head there was DO ground to interfere. There was no ground to suppose I that Mr. Fletcher would not attend properly to the education of the children, and the Court would take especial care that the mother, should have access to the child. He could not order a reference as to future maintsnanee, because the child was to reside with its guardian; but he would refer to the .Master to consider as to the sum which the mother should receive fur the pint expenditure of the children, upon a elear understanding that the mother should, in the first instance, give up the other child also to its legal guardian. There was no other case of interest before the Court. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, AlAr 24. The Cotat was occupied the whole day in trying an Indictment for perjury, alleged u; on an affidavit in the Court of King's Bench. The particulars of the case, which ware extremely com plicated, were wholly uninteresting. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, .: u EDNESDAT, MAY 24. Sittings in Loudon befo►e the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Common Jut y. BROWN 1.. sIIRURSOLE. Mr. Sergeant Val:cuss: (with whom was Mr. PLATT) said, this was an action for defamation. The plaintiff and defendant both resided at Sheerness, and the former was employed eaten. sively in conveying stone for the manuf..cture of Parkins's cement. The defendant was a fanner. and the proprietor of a hoy which was used to convey corn rn London, and carry back goods for the Sheerness tradesmen. 11l health obliged the plaintiff to leave Sheerness in the month of February last. After the plaintiff's de parture, and on sonic subsequent occasions, defendant said, to the great Injury of the plaintiff, " This is a pretty jos about Jeremiah Brown—he is broken to pieces. It is true, for Saxby told me so and all the vessels and tackle are L Ina in the harbour to be sold." The defendant said, tan. that the plaintiff was never worth a penny in his life, and hail failed two or three times. To a second person he said, '• Brown has gone off, and there will not be a penny for any one." The Learned Sergeant 5t.1 , 1 he should prove that the defendant had uttered these words, and that there was no founda. tine for them. The ease having been proved, Mr. Sergeant WILDE addressed the Jury for the defendant. lie hoped they would be lenient and teinperate in the damages they might give, for the deferulant had fonli illy listened to the gossip of another person, and how the tale orlgiuuted he was not able to ascertain. Ile regretted that he had imprudently uttered words so offensive. and he hoped this regret would weigh with the Jury. The Loan tut Er JUSTICE summed up. The Jury found a verdict tie the plaintiff—Damages 1001, SNOW AND CITHEIVI V. 110111 W SON, Thus was an action of Dover to recover the amount of a SOL bank-bi'l.

The Loan CIIIEF JUSTICE charged the Jury. If they thought the defendant had taken the bill from somebody he knew, and had not, therefore, thought it necessary to now lkom shorn he received it, they would find a verdict in his favour; but if they thought the plaintiffs had exercised a due caution in adver tising it, and the defendant had taken it without due caution, their verdict must be for the plaintiff's. ' Mr. Sergeant ‘VILDE said there must be a verdict for the de fendant, there being no evidence of a want of due caution, to go to the Jury. The LoaD CHIEF JUSTICE thought there was. Mr. Sergeant WILDE—Then, my Lord, I must tender your Lordship an exception. After some discussion as to the wording of the exception, his Lordship received it. The Jury then delivered a verdict for the plaintiffs—Damages fifty pounds. SNOW AND OTHERS V. SADLER: This action was brought by the same plaintiff's. The facts were also the same ; and it was similarly disposed of. SURREY SESSIONS, MAY 2t. DESPERATE AFFRAY. Jame* Roy, John Keogh, Dennis CuFlint, and Michael Cal. laghan, stood indicted for an outrageous and violent assault upon some police officers of Surrey, in the exercise of their duty. Valentine Roberts deposed that he is beadle of St. John the Baptist, in the IVaterloo-road '• on the I fi th of April he was at tending in the church, when he was informed that a number of Irishmen were fighting. Ile proceeded to the spot, and saw about 200 men fighting, and among the most conspicuous was the pri. soner Keogh, who was striking every one near him. The moment witness appeared in company with other officers, the mob attempted to overpower them. Witness secured the defendant Keogh, as he appeared to be the ringleader of one of the parties. and took him to the watch.house ; and by three o'clock in :tie afternoon the four de fendants at the bar were secured, as well as nine others, for the same offence. but who were now out upon bail, and had traversed until the next Session. Witness was ill.treated by both parties. At one time there were upwards of 2,000 persons collected. Charles Reid, one of the Bow.street patrol, stated, that he was in Oakley-street, and saw the defendants Keogh and Ray leading Gn their party. Such was the violence of the mob, that for self protection he was obliged to draw his Whits, which was wrested from him by one of the defendants' party, who attempted to run him through. Witness then drew forth his pistols, to preserve his life. Witness had been in many riots, but never saw so much brutality exercised as by the defendants. There were several in the crowd who were covered with blood. Collins, Callaghan, and several others, had a supply of brick-bats, with which they beat and otherwise assaulted persons in the crowd. Several other officers corroborated the testimony of the above witnesses. The CHAIRMAN summed up the evidence, and impressed upon the minds of the Jury the violent conduct of the defendants. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all the defendants. The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the defendants, said he regretted he was under the necessity of remarking upon the conth;ct of the lower order of Irish, but the fact was, they always selected Sunday for settling their matters in dispute. The Legislature would no doubt endeavour by some means or other to detroy this system of party faction, which generally ended with loss of life. The defendants Keogh and Ray were sentenced to four months' imprisonment in the House of Correction at Brixton, and Collins and Callaghan to two months. CORONERS' INQUESTS. FEMALE SUICIDE.—On Tuesday evening an Inquisition was taken at the Ship Tavern. Stepney-greet, before J. Ihrwix, Esq, on. the body of Mrs. Elizabeth Isabella Sales, a widow lady, agd 22, who put a period o her existence by taking arsenic. Mr.ll . Clarke examined—l am a surgeon, and reside on thaMie end.road. Deceased confessed she had taken arsenic, and pained out the dregs which remained in a tea-cup on the table; butoot withstanding all my efforts, she became gradually worse, and died about three o'clock on Monday. I have since opened the lady, and found the coats of the stomach much inflamed by the ffects of the poison. There were no external marks of violence m the body. The poison was the cause of her death. Mrs. Sarah Gill examined—l live next door to the deceased, and became acquainted with her since she came to live thee, about three weeks ago. For the last week she has appeared much de. jested. On Monday morning she sent for me, and on gong to her I found her crying. She requested me to take a letter, nreeted to a Mr. Walsh, residing in Aidgate, to the Post-office, tv, if I had time, to Mr. Welsh's house. The deceased asked me chat time I thought it would come to hand, remarking at the saint time, that if Walsh did not come to her before four o'clock, she vould break her heart. She appeared in the greatest anguish at the time. This, I believe, was owing to the ill-treatment of the /wen who lived with her. Juror—Did she tell you so? Witness—Yes, she said her grief arose from reflecting on her folly, in submitting to .he wishes of a man, who had, on accomplishing his object, slighted and neglected her. Thomas Walsh examined—l have known the deceased for eight or nine years. She has been in great trouble since the death of her husband, about 15 months since. It was owing, I believe, to the heartless indifference of her seducer, who has since absconded. On Monday I received this letter from the deceased. [The letter was here banded to and read by the Coroner: i.s purport was, craving forgiveness from the witness and family, for the rash alternative she had adopted, to put an end to her mental sufferings, which were produced by the causes above stated, and requesting the witness,with other friends, to look with an eye of pity on and protect her orphan ann, a fine boy, four years old, to whom she bequeathed the whole of her household furniture, ik.c.) Examination resumed—On receipt of this letter I instantly pro. ceetled to the residence of the deceased, where I found her in the agonies of death. The next witness called was the father of the deceased, an old gentleman upwards of eighty, who was much affected while giving his testimony. He stated that the deceased was the youngest of til children. The last time he saw her alive was about three weeks since. She was not on terms of friendship with any of her family. in consequence of her unfortunate connexion with a man named Banes. He had no doubt but that, urged by the consciousness of her diqrrace, she had prepared and taken the fatal draught her self, Here the old man's utterance became quite choked, and he was obliged to be supported out of the room. The Coroner recapitulated the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict of Suicide, committed while labouring under mental derangement." Tuesday afternoon, at three o'clock, another inquest was held at the Regent's Park Barracks, to inquire into the death of a hack ney coachman, named Abraham Watson. who came by his death from having been given a very large quantity of spirits, wine, ale, &e. on Sunday night last, by some persons connected with the Offi cers' mess of the 2d Life Guards. A dinner had been given by the Officers to a party of 2fi gentlemen, and the deceased was called oft' his stand to take up some of the gentlemen ; but the fare not being ready, the coach was left waiting, and the above fatal consequences were the result. The Jury returned a verdict that " The deceased died through drinking a large quantity of spirits, which had been incautiously given him by some person or persons unknown." The inquest lasted till ten o'clock at night. The following is from a Correspondent :—A fracas, of rather an unusual nature, took place at a sporting house in the West last night, between a Noble Lord and a well-known betting Gentleman. The Marquis, after offering to bet heavy sums against the General, asserted more than once that he felt convinced he was sold ; and the other party alluded to, conceiving that he was pointed at as having bought him, vented his Indignation in strong terms, at the same time distinctly disavowing the supposed insinuation. After some warm language had partied, the affair was terminated by the Noble Lord making the amende hanorable.—Errning Paper. Ft its .—Yesterday morning, about one o'clock, a fire was discovered on the premises of Mr. May, a chair-maker, Mint-street, Southwark, which threatened serious consequences. The family had retired to rest a considerable time, when Mr. May was alarmed by the knocking of the watchman, and on opening his bed-room door, was nearly suffocated by the smoke that ascended in cloudi by the staircase, which he had scarcely time to descend before the en. tire flight was in flames. The lire originated beneath it, among some shaving+, but by what means was not known, and before the pro gress of the flames could be arrested, or any retain be effected to the bed-room, the whole of the staircase was burnt down. At this mo. ment the most dreadful anxiety prevailed for the safety of Mrs. May and two children, whose lives were, however, happily saved by their being lowered from the windows into the street by the praiseworthy exertions of the firemen, who had gained the roof. In an hour the fire was extinguished ; but not before con siderable damage was done to the stock and premises. —Another fire took place at four in the afternoon of the same day, at Tooting, occasioned by the falling of some sparks fmm the chimney of an out-house belonging to Mr. Noyes, a baker, on a stack of faggots, which was wholly consumed, together with a barn and several other out-buildings, the flames raging for upwards of two hours; the dwelling-house was but slightly injured; the property was insured principally in the Sun Office. The quick arrival of the London engines was matter of astonishment, particularly the Surrey and Sussex, with four horses, which was but twenty-seven, minutes on the road. A young woman from Redgrave, returning from Pal grave Fair, on Thursday night, was attacked and set upon by three men, who assaulted, abused, and stripped her of all her clothes, which they took away, leaving her naked in a field, where she was afterwards found nearly dead. She has since charged three men of the names of Elvin, Minter, and Rix, with baring perpetrated this gross and unmanly assault.

POLICE. M ANSII6R-H OUSE. A watchman named, Freentai, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having assaulted a Gentleman in Comhill in A most outrageous manner. It appeared that two gentlemen, In passing along Comhill on Tuesday night, at half-past ten o'clock,) saw twollittie girls, in the most deplorable state, sitting on the steps of a hall-door. The gen tlemen crossed the street, gave alms to the destitute children, and asked a watchman who stood near them something about their me lancholy condition. The watchman replied, in a very insolent tone, that they had better walk on, and that he did not care any thing about the children. " You might at least," said one of the gentlemen, " have given a civil reply." This admonition was re ceived by the watchman with the utmost displeasure. He ex pressed his resentment in the loudest and must menacing terms, and then the defendant, who was keeping a staggering watch at the other side of the street, sallied over, seized the person who was so presumptuous as to dare to speak to a man in such authority, and told him the watch-house should be his fate, and that he should lie there until Monday next. Some other gentlemen who were passing at the same time immediately interfered, by expressing in gentle terms their disapprobation of the conduct of the man in au. thority ; whereupon the aefendant, who was backed by several of the fraternity, turned hi rage against the two new corners, and struck one of them In a moat violent manner. Three or four of the gentlemen were knodted about without mercy, but they took care that the principal awailant should not escape. Freeman assured Alderman Lucas, who sat for the Lord Mayor, that the gentlemen way the first assailants; that they were among a crowd of wonen of the town, whom the watchman had told to " move on," and that they dishonoured him and the other protectors of the peace of the metropolis, by calling them " Charlies," and hue ling them about. There was abundatce of evidence to prove that there was not • tittle of truth in thisstaternent, and it was distinctly seen that the `defendant was shunt blind drunk at the time he commenced the attack. Several of the most respectable inhabitants of Cornhill came forward, and mewl that the defendant had been discharged by them, and shoull never more be employed in that part of the City at any rate. Some gentlemen declared that the public were nightly subject to the incorrigibleinsolence of the watchmen, and that an example upon this occition would be of immense service. Alderman .I.I.ICAR ordered that the defendant should pay the sum of ss. for being drunk, and that he should find bail to answer for the essaut at the Sessions. A relativeof the watchman declared that Freeman had received a wound it the head in battle, and that the effect of liver upon that woutd was absolute madness, that Tuesday night was the annual corrivial meeting of the watchmen. The complainant, upon hearing this, would not proceed against Freeman Aldernan LUCAS, upon fining and cautioning the watchman against " putting the enemy into his mouth" any more, expressed a hopethat when the gentlemen of the lantern and numbered coats intended to sup together again, notice would be sent round to the ichabiants to keep within doors, and to the Lord Mayor to ap pointaubstitutes for the fraternity during their time of enjoyment. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ECTottT zo t Turner, the ßeadle of St. George's, yeserday appeared on the following charge of extortion:— Os. Self, a widow, formerly in the public line, said she had lied as bar-maid about six months with Mrs. Lightfoot, kvintner, inSouth Audley-street, till last Saturday, when, in consequence of acne difference between Mn.s Lightfoot and herself, she determined leave. At the time of her leaving, Mr. Southall, a friend of her siatress, recommended that her boxes should be searched, and sent Dr Turner, who having looked over her trunks in presence of the alters, and finding nothing but her own property, said there was no charge of felons to detain her. Witness then initial him to get her a coach, and he helped her in with her boxes. This being done, he said he expected to be paid for his trouble. She put down a five shilling piece, and he hesitating, Mr. Southall said that was not enough. Agitated and anxious to get away, she put down two half-crowns more, which Turner took up and kept. Having men tioned the circumstance to her mother, she was advised to apply at the_Office. Turner said it was a voluntary offer of Mrs. Self's ; that he had had a great deal of trouble, had paid tifteenpenee to the man who fetched the coach, and had a right to be paid porterage and loss of time. Mrs. Self denied any voluntary offer, for when she put down the crown piece, he was dissatisfied, and then she put down the two half-crowns. Mr. DYER—It is a very gross extortion. There wu nothing found on the young woman to charge her with, and it is out of all reason to make any demand. The person who calls in the officer is the party to pay, and not a defendant. You ought to have known what you were doing. You are liable to an action. Were you in the hands of a jury you would be very roughly bandied. Ghe back to the young woman the ten shillings directly. Turner—l paid fifteen pence to the man for the coach. Mr. DYER, to Mrs. Self—Pay him 15.3 d. and take up lie lOs. It is a shameful extortion. hIARYLEBONE OFFICE. On Tuesday evening, an elegantly-dressed female, of mide,le age, was brought from St. Pancras watch-house, charged with not having liquidated the demand of a hackney coachman, named Jordan, for a day's excursion through the metropolis and suburbs. The circumstances of the charge are extremely curious. The lady, at about ten o'elock on Tuesday morning, hired the coach in Cornhill, and desired to be driven to Marlborough House, Pall ma. On her arrival she alighted, went to the door, and having made some inquiry of the servants, returned into the coach, and desired him to proceed to St. Michatl's.place, Bramp ton ; but on arriving there, she, from the front window, said she had changed het mind, and would not make the call she had in tended, but requested to be driven to the French Ambassador's, Portland-plaee. The coachman, from her appearance, and the distinguished residences she named, hesitated not, and accordingly made his way to Portland-place, where, upon the lady alighting, he demanded his fare. She raised up her head, and in a very digs nified way demanded whom he thought she was? Coachee answered, " Why, ma'am, I can't say ; but I say as how I won't be done." " Done ! you brute," she exclaimed, " why fellow I am a lady of rank, and if you insult me, you will find yourself in the wrong box ; so wait until I have seen his Highness of Polignac." She then flounced into the hall, and the coachman waited for a few moments, when the lady again appeared and ordered him back to Brompton; but on arriving, the same unsettled wayward inclina tion seemed to prevail. and she ordered him to make his way to Putney Bridge. He did so, but the lady having expressed a wish to be driven somewhere else, the driver swore he would not budge unless she paid him. She then in a very haughty tone exclaimed, " Fellow, do you doubt the ?" Coachman—" Yes ; most d—ly." The lady—" Then know that I have no money and will not have any until I see my friend in Albemarle.street." The coachman stormed and swore, and very unwillingly set out for Albemarle-street ; but, as before, found that his fare had no friend there, and after one or two excursions, he at length de posited her in St. Pancras watchhouse, where the more intelligent eyes of the watchhouse.keeper discovered that the lady was actu ally (as her conduct had evinced) deranged, and he humanely set about inquiring who and what she was, at the same time ordering such refreshments as her exhausted state required. The coachman however insisted upon his charge being taken. The watchhouse-keeper, from her answers to his questions, ascertained that the particulars of her history are rather affecting. She had some years since been under the protection of a gentleman, but from some circumstance her mind became troubled, and she was placed in an asylum for lunatics at Clapham, called the Re treat, where she had remained for about two years ; the conductors of the establishment could not obtain the necessary payment for her board, and she, although not convalescent, was on Monday last conveyed in a coach to the gentleman's house, who refused to give her an asylum ; she was utterly destitute, and in a mental paroxysm took the coach without having any settled object. The lady, while in the office, appeared to be agitated in a very violent manner; her answers were extremely incoherent, and Mr. Griffith finding it impossible to get any connected account from her, directed her to be placed in the St. Pancras Infirmary, until it could be ascertained where her friends resided. James Griffith, the driver of one of Bull's Paddington coaches, was lined 61. and costs, for furiously driving in the New-road on Sunday, the 14th inst., upon the complaint of Mr. Finch, a respect. able attorney. SPONTANEOUS COMOUSTION.—Extract of a letter from Charles IV. Dabney, Esq., Vice-Consul of the United States for the Azores, to S. W. Pomeroy, Esq., Brighton, Mass., dated Fayal, March 19, 1826: " A remarkable case of spontaneous combustion lately occurred on board of the schooner Hiram, loaded with wool, bound from Bilboa to New York, in consequence of some linseed oil being accidentally spilt on the cabin floor. On smoke being discovered the crew rao on deck, and secured every avenue to the hold, and remained on deck with scarcely provisions sufficient to support na ture for six days, when they were so fortunate as to reach this port. It was not expected that the vessel would be saved, but we resolved to hazard her for the chance of saving part of her cargo, which wu very valuable. The vessel was brought to anchor, four lighters and as many men as could work were sent off, an axe was placed by the cable, and a sail was ready to be hoisted to run the vessel on shore, in case they should not be able 4o subdue the flames ; every precaution that prudence could dictate was taken, and the hatches were opened ; 110 bales of wool passed into the lighters, no smoke appeared ; the cabin was opened and the fire found to be extinct, having consumed part of several bales of wool, the cabin hulk. head, one pump, and part of the starboard-locker! It was the most miraculous escape I ever heard of. The vessel was repaired, took in her cargo, and will sail in abcut an hour."
