I I OLD COURT. I' I KENT ASSIZES, MAIDSTONE, BARR/MAT, APRIL 9. The Horde Circuit ended on Friday evening, after a -duration of week', a period eieeedinr any former occuion within liring • memory. BRZTT r. C. T. DONSLTT. This was an action for seducing the 011;nt Ors daughter, whereby he lost her services, and was put to the expense of her confineMent. Pia, the general issue. Mr. On marl' (with whom was Mr. Dow titan), stated the phin tirs case. The plaintiff was a respectable farmer, now residing et Lower Hardres, in this county. He had to complain of one of the Most serious injuries by which the heart of a parent. could be seined—the seduction of a daughter, who, by the conduct of the .iffendant, was induced to deviate from the paths of virtue and re. epectability, to those of vice and infamy. The plaintiffs daughter wt.., now twenty years of age. About four years since, the seduction camplained of took place. What defence would be offered to this .action could not be anticipated; but it was understood the defend ant meant to attack the character of the unhappy victim of his se *lntim. Such a course of defence, supposing it well founded, must render his conduct more infamous. Until she had fallen a victim to his sensual passions, she was chaste and innocent; if, after that, she became indifferent to the dictates of propriety and decorum. he alone was to Name, having deprived her of every in ..entire to lead a life which would have rendered her estimable in the humble sphere in which she moved. That the plaintiff was anitled to a verdict. at all events, no doubt could be entertained ; the Jury would regulate the amount of damages by the course .which the defendant should think proper to take. Mary Brett said, that about four years since she was invited by the defendant to take tea with his sisters, but found him at home alone. She was prevailed upon to stay, when he took liberties with her, and an improper intimacy took place. It was several times re peated at subsequent periods ; and the defendant having supposed 531 was pregnant, gave her 2s. 6d. to purchase some drugs. On the 16th of December, 18: 1 3, she became a mother. Her father paid the expenses of her confinement, and also of a second illness, occasioned by venturing out too soon. On her croas-exiunination several questiwcs were put to her, with a view of affecting her cha ,racter, and she admitted that she was acquainted with a man named Hewitt, and an improper intercourse took place between them once at Heentt's house in August, 1813. Her seduction by the defen dant wss effected in the early part of that year, and sbe discovered a July. 1823, that she was in the family way. Mr. Sergeant Taricx (w Ali whom was Mr. Bolland), then ad iiressed the Jury for the defence. The question, in this ease, was F.ot whether the Jury would sympathise with the plaintiff in the misfortune of having such a daughter as Miss Mary Brett, but whether they would make the defendant pay damages for an injury to which he did not appear to hare been accessary. Under the siscamsrances proved, could the Jury say in their consciences that I.•:em bad been any seduction ? For any thing that appeared, sup- 1 posing Miss Brett's story to be true, the intimacy between her and vie defendant was of her own seeking, and that the supposed mix- fortune complained of was without any solicitation on his part. Henry Hewitt, a broad-shouldered middle-aged man, about six feet high, was then called, and deposed IS follows:-1 lived year the plaintiff's house until last harvest; I know Mary Brett; I re member her being in the family way—she told me of it. I asked her who the father was, and she told me it was Gano, her sister's lausband. She said he was nearly mad about it, and that he had wren her a good deal of stuff to make away witis it, and that it made her so ill, she hated the sight of him ; she said it was not lair.

This was the defendant's case. Mt. OnaxEsr, in reply, urged the utter improbability of the conversation imputed to the plaintiff's daughter by the witness oiled for the defence. He admitted that it was not a case fur ag pawed damages; but he had no doubt the Jury would give such damages u would compensate the plaintiff for the expense to which lit; had been pot.

Andrew Thomproir was charged with forging and uttering as true, a bill of exchange. purporting to be drawn by Bakewell and Co. upon, and accepted by Thomas Oakley, Brentford. • The prisoner, it appeared, had introduced himself to the prose. queer, a Mr. Richard Bury, a silk shag manufacturer, at Coventry, and having a warehouse in King-street, Cheapvide, as being related to a Mrs Bakewell, a widow, with whom he had entered into partnership, to carry on the business of hat-manufacturen in the mercial-road ; and by . specious pretences prevailed on Mr. goodsto open n t h w e l m th it he t the priso n er to er t r in nd e ertak u lt r if to give 017 for a t i l l ie from lifter this arrangement was made, the prisoner brought bills of ex change apparently of different firms in the city, and obtained on them goods to the amount of 1901. from Mr. Bury. When, how ever, the bills became due, the drawers and acceptors were not to be found, and they were evidently all manufactured for the pun. paces of fraud. The prisoner sat in consequence apprehended, and panels were found, showing that the prisoner was in con. nezian with a great number of swindlers. These facts were proved, and that no such man was known or to be found at Brentford as Thorriss Oakley. The prisoner, when called on for his defence, entered into a long detill to exculpate himself, and to show that he had been imposed on to believe that Oakley really lived at Brentford. Several witnesses were then called to prove that there was such a man as Oakley in existence, and that he had described himself as living at Brentford. One of the witnesses called for the defence was a man named Jams; Pledger. whom Mr. Justice PARK repeatedly called to order during his exami. nation, and at lain called him a " coxcomb." The witness replied, " My Lord, I never was considered a cox. comb, though there are plenty of cake combs in Leadenhall market. (Laughter.) Mr. ADOLPHUS contended there was no CM to go to the Jury. Mr. Justice PARK - referred to the case of the King v. Webb, tried before the Lord Chief Justice Best, in Wiltshire, last year, which wss a case precisely like the present, in which Webb ut tered a bill, and made a false representatmn of the business and piece of abode of the acceptor. The twelve Judges held it was gross fraud, but not a forgery. Mr. Justice Perk, therefore, directed an acquittal. Verdict—Yet Guilty. ;here are two other cases against the prisoner, which were ap . pointed foe *rumley next. - Dlr. Justice PARK apologised to the witness Pledger for calling him • coxcomb. A Sunday paper gives the following notice of Thompson:— "This man has been for many years notoriously known on the town as an ingenious and ahnlesa!e swindler. About fourteen yeirs ago. he anti his brother Joeerh, who had been in the navy, wtwe implicated in passing a fictitious bill in purchasing a chaise; the prisoner kept out of the way, and his brother was convicted and executed. The prisoner was afterwards convicted at the Old Malley, and sentenced to be imprisoned, and to stand in the pll. lory. lie was afterwards convicted of fraud at Clerkenwell, and venteneed to be transported for seven years, which term he served on beard the bulks, and acted as clerk. The ingenuity and address of Thompson may be imigined from the following anecdote : - thlished - nrospectus tar establishirg the late Lord Vincent, and several Ateme, and succeeded so far in their subscriptions to the house I object went, he was just on the get possession of the subscrip ste unfortunate Mr. Founderoy and his hopes and expects.

At length, after • good deal of persecution, the prosecutor con. suited his friends, and a plan was concerted to detect him and his associate.

ADOLPHUS, on behalf of the prosecutor, mated, that a capital indictment in Aliddlesea was pending against Blould, for having obtained money from the prosecutor, by putting, him in fear ; but as Mould was considered to be the creature of Damian, it was not wished to persevere and execute the youth, when the elder and more:wicked offender was only transported t therefore, on Monday, with the leave of the Court, they should probably not offer any evidence on that capital charge. Mr. Sergeant AnaltlX said, such a course was certainly humane: bus the prisoners might both rely on being sent out of the country for their lives. This indii meat is the first that has been framed on the new Act of Parliament, passed in the fourth year of his present Majesty. MARSH, STRACRY, AND GRAHAM'S BANKRUPTCY. On Saturday a Meeting was held. before the Commissioners, for the final examination of the bankrupts, which was numerously attended by creditors. The balance sheet of each of the bankrupts was produced separately, and sworn to. They were very volumi nous documents. Alr. Commissioner Delrener said, this was the time for the creditors to ask the bankrupts any questions respecting the ac counts they had delivered in. Mr. 31AYLIEW said, he wisbel to inquire of the Commissioners, whether the deficiency of ninety-four thousand pounds, which ap peared in the bankrupts' accounts, had been explained to their satisfaction, as he was prevented by illness from attending the late examinations A day had been appointed for him to attend at the Bank, to go through the accounts, but he bad only entered on the examination when the books were taken away to a meeting that was held at .Mr. Montague's, and in consequence of being obliged to attend since at different Assizes, he had no opportunity of ob taining the information he desired. What made him so anxious for an opportunity to examine the books was, his having observed many entries were made on erasures, particularly in the Stock and Exchequer Bill accounts. Mr. Commissioner Late observed, that Mr. Montague, or any creditor, might put any question to the bankrupts relative to the erasures. Mr. F. POLLOCK inquired of Mr. Mayhew for whom he ap peared ? Mr. IllaTnew said for several creditors ; and being asked to name one, mentioned his brother. Mr. F. Pou.oci, Counsel for Mr. Stracey, observed, that his brother's debt was but 79/., and it would be much better for the estate to pay it in full than incur the expense of the delay of the proceedings that must take place from protracted examinations. This proposal met with no support. Mr. Comintssioner Law asked Mr. Wilkinson, the accountant, whether there wore merit , erasures in the bankrupts' books ? Mr. Wilkinson replied, he believed not ten in the whole. Mr. 31arnew proceeded to examine the bankrnpts, and asked whether an entry of 2,0241. 3s. 4d., 4th July, 1 823 , made on an erasure in the ledger 31, was an original entry ? Mr. Graham replied, it was a copy from the receiving day-book of the same date ; he believed the entry to be in Mr. Fauntleroy's hand.tvriting. He (Mr. Graham) was nut well acquainted with the principle on which the receiving day-book was kept, but believed all monies paid into the bank were entered in it. He could not tell whether the house had any Exchequer Bills of their own that da as Mr. Faunticroy had the sole management. Mr. Commissioner LAW observed, that the bankrupts had all along disclaimed any knowledge of chess Exchequer Bill transac tion% and declared they had been entirely carried un by Mr. Faunt leroy. They had also disclaimed any knowledge of Martin's pass book, or of the deficiency. A Creditor remarked, that probably some of Mr. Fauntleroy's letters might throw light on the subject. Mr. LAW said they could not be received as evidence. Mr. ALsenew said, if the bankrupts disclaimed all knowledge of the most important transactions in their books, it was useless to examine them. Mr. Commissioner LAW said, their answers really amounted to that. Mr. GRAHAM, in reply to questions put to him, stated, that since the house stopped payment he had not male nor altered any entries in the books, except bringing out the totals of sums already entered, and believed no entries or alterations had beem made by others. He could not explain the state of the Exchequer Bill ac count in ledger M, by which it appeared that upwards of 3,0001. more had been paid than was reestved. Two of the hooks had been sent to 111 r. Fauntieroy to Newgate two days before his execution. Mr. 31altnEw stated, that the books were sent at his desire. and he was satisfied no alteration was made, as Mr. Forbes was present the whole of the time. Mr. Commissioner LAW inquired whether any creditor could give any information respecting the bankrupts' estate, or had any ques tion to propose to the bankrupts ? There was no reply. Mr. LLOYD inquired whether the Commissioners would allow the bankrupts to pass their final examination, when there was a de. ficiency of 94,0001. entirely unaccounted for ? Mr. Commissioner LAW said that the bankrupts had declared On, oath that they could not account for that deficiency ; they had, ' under the same sanction, answered all the questions put to therm, and were liable to prosecution and transportation If they had nut answered truly, and the Commissioners were bound to act on the answers they had given. Mr. Paynter submitted to the creditors, on behalf of llr. Stracey, that his wife's jewels, valued at 6001. should be restored to her. A Creditor observed, that a considerable property of Mrs. Stm cey's had been brought into the business. Mr. Wilson moved, that Mrs. Stracey's jewels should be restored to her. The question was put and carried unanimously. A Creditor proposed that Colonel Graham's gold watch and seals, and snuff-box, and his wife's watch and seals, should be re stored to them t that, he said, was all Colonel Graham asked. Mr. Montague observed, that his not asking should be a reason with the creditors forgiving. Mr. Wilson moved that Mrs. Graham's jewels, valued at three hundred pounds, should be restored to her. The proposal was unanimously agreed to. Mr. Wilson moved that Mrs. Marsh's jewels, which were under three hundred pounds in ',slue, should he restored to her. A Creditor objected : be said Mr. Marsh had returned an se count, stating his expenses for thirty-two years at six thousand pounds, and was debtor to the estate of near seventy thousand pounds, and he believed had brought little or nothing into the house. Mr. blush said he brought upwards of 40.0001. into the house, in the year 1810, in ten days. He borrowed it f. orn a dear friend, and sold an estate to pay him. Meowed a heavy debt to the house, but had It not been for the causes that produced the failure, it would have been all discharged. He had riot asked for any thing ; it was the liberal proposal of a creditor. He was now at the age of 71, left without a bed, or a table, or even a joint stool. Ile had placed blind confidence, but no man could say that he had ever committed a base act. The Creditor who had opposed the grant of the jewels said he withdrew his opposition, and the proposal was then agreed to unanimously. The bankrupts passed their final examination, and the Meeting adjourned. Foaozxy.—Ms. Savaay.—We have received from our Bristol correspondent the following decisive intelligence relative to the fate of Savary. Great expectations were en tertained by Savary and his distressed relatives that the fatal sentence would be commuted into transportation for life, and this opinion was strengthened by the considera tion that the commission of the offence was in ignorance of the law. But the principle ignorantir non excused Irr, it appears, would not avail the prisoner, and accordingly, previous to the departure of Lord Gifford (the Recorder), from Bristol, the execution of Savary was ordered for Tuesday, the 26th instant. Thus, in all human probabi lity, will another misguided young man pay the prema ture forfeit of his life, to the severe penal statute applicable to this offence.—.tirinday Monitor. Duet. PARVENTED.—SaturcIay morning, between five and six o'clock, as a party of the road patrol were coming off duty at their station near Clapham Common, they ob served four carriages draw up, from which several gentle men de'cended, and immediately walked to a retired part of the Common. The patrol suspecting that they were about to proceed to hostilities, direnly followed them, and, on coming up, one of the gentlemen appeared to be mea suring the ground, whilst another was engaged in loading a case of pistols. The conductor of the patrol, on perceiv ing these insignia of warfare, jumped over the wall which divided him from the combatants, and, in the King's name, charged them to desist. One of the principals (as he proved to be) questioned the officer's authority, when the latter produced his staff, and giving a preconcerted signal, the remainder of the patrol jumped in, and the four persons actually concerned, namely, the principals and seconds, were taken into custody, and were subsequently bound over to keep the peace, before George Harrison, Esq. a Magis trate of the county. The principals were, 11. T. Fether stone, Esq. and Captain Lawrence, R.N.; the former se conded by Mr. T. Irvine, the latter by Major Jones, of the East India Company's service. A carpenter fell into No. 2, Graving Dock, Liverpool, on Thursday night last whilst undocking a vessel, and was drowned. He has left a wife and seven 'children. THE BRITISH PRESS. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING. Fainxy, APftll. 8. Notwithstanding the continued beauty of the weather, the company was not by any means so great as on the former (Lays, nor is the town so full as it was during the early part of the week. The departures of fashionable*, and those who came on mere pleasurable parties, have been very numerous, but the attendance of the nobility and sporting men was strong, most of whom will very probably prolong their stay till after the races to-morrow. There were very few ladies present. The Duke of York was again on the heath, as was the Duke of Portland in his moveable stand, occasionally se coin/rattled during the races by Lord and Lady Sefton (who left after the running was over, for town), Lord G. H. Cavendish, General Grosvenor, Sir J. Shelley, and many other distinguished characters. A considerable deal of interest was excited on the Pon Stakes, and hard running was expected, as Pu cella, who ran second to Serab for the Newmarket Stakes last spring, and Reformer, who won the July Stakes in 1823, and was first favourite for the Darby last year, were to run against Serab. and all of them were considered crack horses ; but these expectations were not 'realised, as Serab won easy. Greata things are expected to-morrow, when the three principal stakes rest between His Royal Highness the Duke of York and the Dukes of Wellington, Portland, Grafton, and Rutland. There were present at the Rooms this evening— The Duke of Portland; Lords Jersey, Anson, G. H. Cavendish, J. Fitzroy, G. Rentinek, Dunwich, and 3lolyneux ; General Gros venor, Sir J. Shelley, Hon. Mr. Irby, Hon. Mr. De Rosa, Colonel Russell, Colonel Walpole; Messrs. Lambton, Crawford, Mills. Prendergast, Stonehewer, Molony, Catton, Keating, Craven, Mil ner, Haywood, Holyoake, &c.

The Craven Meeting finished this day, after one of the finest week's sport ever remembered, and attended by visi tors of the first rank, in numbers almost unprecedented. The weather has been extremely favourable during the week, the sport very good, and (with the exception of the dispute about Mr. iVilliamson's affair on Thursday) every thing has passed off admirably. The Duke of Grafton has been, as usual, the chief win ner at these Races: indeed his Grace's horses are of so fine a breed, and so admirably managed, that scarcely any thing can be brought against them. Rufus, by which his Grace has been so fortunate, is one of the finest of the day, but his good qualities are not half brought out : he im proves every day, and unless some country horse starts up, must win the Derby. In the different Races of the week lie has been so exquisitely manoeuvred by Buckle, that his capabilities are not yet publicly known. He is competent to much more than he has yet performed. There are two circumstances, however, against him for the Derby. lie has hitherto run only one mile courses, and has had Buckle to jockey him ; but when he runs for the Derby, the dis tance is a mile and a huff, with a trying hill to mount (and half a mile in addition is great work for a horse who has run only single miles, when the peculiar nicety of training is considered); and on this occasion he e•ill miss Buckle, who is expected to ride Mr. Udny's colt by hluley. The only horse at present thought of as likely to cut bim out some work is Muleteer, of whom a favourable opinion is entertained, although be is carefully kept from public curiosity. For the Oaks a good race is expected. as both Aline and Tontine are considered likely horses. Tontine having won to-day, will very probably become first favourite, as there are some doubts still about Aline's feet; besides site had nothing of consequence to beat as yet. The Course, every thing considered, was pretty well attended to-day; but only two of them produced good. running, and two were walked over for. Shortly after the Races hie Royal Highness the Duke of York departed for town ; and almost before their conclu sion, Newmarket was emptied as if by magic. Not a horse could be got in a quarter of an hour after, those from the vans being put in requisition; and in a very short space this celebrated town, from being the scene of unequalled gaiety and bustle, returned to its natural quiet and unim portance.
