cativo. NORFOLK CIRCUIT. NORWICH ASSIZHS, FRIDAT, Aro. 6. • Beßite the LORD CIIIIT BAHOg. Jena Kim stood charged upon the Coroner's inquis:tion for that he, on the 3d of April last, telnaintisly assaulted one Jonathin Wes. and violently anti fehmionsly caused him to precipitate him. self into a certain stream, by mean* of which emitting he the said Jonathan Wells was suifeeated, and drowned, of which he died; and Wm. Mitchell was charged on the same irquisition with feloniously abetgog and comforting James King at the commission el this offence. The OrandJury threw nut the bill p:eferred against the prisoners for manslaughter, lend this circumstance was said to have exaspera. ted the immense mob assembled in consequence of this trial, which has caused much interest throughout this city. On the prisoners, ap2reseh they were followed into the very tourt by the mob, and the beatings and shouts of disarwobation prevented the business of the Court from proceeding for some minutes. Silence was at length restored, and the Jury having been sworn, Mr. ALnEasox proceeded to state to them the circumstances of ti.is unfortunate affair. Ile said that the prisoners were c:iarged with what was called manslaughter a crime which he should not rtempt to de fi ne, because the Learned Judge would state to them I.e nature and legal definition. 00 the 3d of April Last, Jonathan Wells aad some other lads made up a party for the Sunday even. irg to go in quest of birds-nets. In the pursuit of this aninse. own they trespassed no the property of others ; but that lie eon. tolied to be a very light speties of trespass, which should not have nailed in.° existence angry feelings such as appeared to have been called forth on this occasion. .11r. STORKS—As I situ preelthied in this case front observing' .agon the evidence, and as we have already witnessed the condition of the public feeling as it regards this trial, 1 thick my Learned -I?:ienel should rc:rain front a statement little calculated to allay tltese • feetlings. Mr 7 ALDERSON enntentled that he was perfectly regular. If, .be std, the Lettered Cuunsel for the prisoner rested his defence on a point of low, that would be for the Court to decide. His Lordship would say ultether or not they succeeded in nicking out their justification. The prisoner King was a game-keeper, anti the other, Mr. 3liteliell. a respectable farmer. Ott Sunday even.

Ile in. goireel of the party what they were doing. The answer was not peculiarly calculated to excite the ire of even the most choleric.— " Bird'aaseatiog." I!r. Stoaxa eosin interfered. The Cots, }tattoo conceived that it wnuld be better for Mr. A'ilerson to confine hor.sell to a statement of the facts at issue be tween the parties. Mr. A LDallisON proeeeded—King declared that they must go b'dure a Magistrate. tome of the boys replied, that they were /elide to do so: but when they came to Wells, he refused to aceom pauy them. He very fuolislity, as if he were guilty of crime, at. tempted to escape. He wee followed sod secured. Mitchell dismounted (rout his noise, and, with the assistance of King, at. tempted to place him on the back of the. borer. lie fell to the other side e bot he (31r. Alderson) did not assert that he had suf. feted toy inconvenience front that fall, for he got on his feet, and with eloosiderable speed, he attempted his escape. He made to. wards a gate, and Mitchell took a circuitous route, for the purpo.e of intercepting him. The boy saw Alitehel approaching, and be changed bts course ; but now be was unconsctously directing his footsteps to King : and at this moment some buys at the opposite aide of the rivet called nut to him, " Take to the river." The bey did so. The river was not at first to be dreaded ; but at length the lad, perceiving his danger, exclaimed, " I shall be drowned." Theboys at the opposite aide celled oat to King. " Help, ?help, the boy will be drowned !" An expression wns then said to have been used by King, which. for the sake of humanity, he trusted had no fourelatton. " I dare not go into the river, lest LI Would wet my feet and take eokl--he must be drown'd." The boy sunk to rule no more. Now the Jury would say, whether. in Mistime, the boy had, under the influence of terror, consigned him- I self to the stream, in consequence of which he died. He should state, that at this period Mitchell was far from the stream. bee h were the facts of the ease. with one omission, which he regretted to be compelled to state to them. .lithm the boy was lying deed at ' the public-Louse, and before the Jury held their inquest, some boer , was ordered, and when it was sought on the part of the landlord who was to pay ? King replied, "Oh, the dead man pays a ll." I This was unftelidg. These were the facto of the ease, upon which 313ei *pull prenource their e.ortscie , dious virthet. The Como BARON said that he ilia act think a case of nier..l slaughter had beets opened. He would not any whether or not foe men Lose at the bar had behaved well, but he was quite sure this' . time we ste snore like manslaughter than it was to soy etha offence. Mr. ArAsEntiox said he had stated the case as fully as his in. ateuetions informed him. of if. lilr.Strotke said that force was charged. The Chime Ileuor told the Jury Oaf he was or °prom that the ewe stated yea not welt as came up to the crime imputed to. the prisoners, and therefore they would say they were Not Guilty.

Cassiciii.r.oa gave judgment in the very im of Willis, Esq. and Lady Mary, his wise, particulars which form the ground of complaint have been in the columns of former papers, and in substance are, that a pennon had been presented m the name of Lady Mary Willis, then Lady Mary Bowes, before she came of age, to get a considerable sum out of Court, and that lb: money being by this means ob tained, had been lent on a sectirqv that was not available. The tit ANCELT.On in giving judgment stated, that the Solicitor employed in the former petition, by which this money was with drawn from the Court, was answerable for the amount, as was every person connected with him in the transaction ; and he should make an order accordingly. for the return of the money into Court ; that that order would require some attention in the drawing up, and he would deliver it mit as soon as possible. The Chancellor further remarked that in framing this order, he should likewise take care that it might operate hereafter on similar cases that may occur in this Court and to prevent a repetition of such an improper diver sion of an infaria property. HABEAS CORPUS. IN RE HUTCHINSON, A BANKRUPT. The CHANCEL v.on herein stated, that although he could not say that the bankrupt's answers were satisfactory, yet he could not say that they were unsatisfactory, and therefore ordered that the bank rupt be discharged. LUNACY PETITIONS. Four petitions were presented to the LORD CHANCELLOR ill the matter of Sir Gregory Page Turner; one by Lady Turners another rn the part of the Committee; a third on the behalf of Mr. W. Corbett; and a fourth from Sir O. Page Turner himself, gene rally, praying a reference to the Master, to inquire into the Eats of the lunatic's drains His Lordship directed a reference to ascertain what allowance should be made for the maintenance of the lunatic, his wife, and chill. In the ease of Lord Portsmouth, three petitions were presented, praying a reference to the Master, to make inquiries relative to certain proposals roc letting the estates of the lunatic. They were entirely matters of course, and were acceded to without dis cussion. COMMISSION OF LUNACE—Ausuar 6. THE REV. EDWARD FRANK. SIXTH DAT. It was nearly eleven o'clock before the Commissioners arrived. Mr. Propert. the Surgeon. recalled.—[lad not made up his mind yestlirdav about Mr. Frank's state of mind. Had since had an op portunity of recollecting conversations he had had a ith him on other subjees. He invariably found hint accurate on other matters of accounts, and anxious to have vouchers to support their accuracy. In 1821 had a convnrsation with Mr. F. on the subject of letting his estate at Campsall. His observations were extremely rational. Ile was anxious to have a tenant who would take care of the property, and he said it the taxes were pttid and the estate kept in good con dition, the rent wmtld be merely nominal. Air. F. asked him to recommend him a tenant. Crosa.examined by the Sottcyron-Or NERAL.—The accounts alluded to, that were settled by Mr. Frank with vouchers, were his own bills for medical attendance, and the vouchers were the receipts, which Mr. Frank always asked for on paying him money t Alr. Frank paid him 101. at one time, and 581. at another; was ;mend ing Men. Barry. who was living under the protection of Mr. Frank, int !lie time he was introduced to 11lr. Frank. By a Commissrovert.—Had heard other conversations of Mr. F.'s equally rational ; had altm heard him go on about his exploits with the ladies; his conversation was generally rational ; never dined with Mrs. Barry and Mr. Frank ; had drank a glass of wins with them : believes It consistent that a clergyman should be of sound mind; and a dtbatiched character ; Mr. - F. was not the only profligate member of the Church of sound mind that he had known ; Mr. Frank objected to the amount of his last bill ; he said it was more than he expected; Mr. Frank's words were, " your hill is more than I expected, and more than I can afford to pave" Ha (witness) took off sercn or eight pounds. Had said Mr. Frank -was a prollii;ate, seak.minded mail, but believed him of sound naiad. Mr. SPENCE said. that as the foreman of the Jury and the Commissioners were conversing privately on a subject probably re lating to the in ILITStI of 11r. Frank, he begged to say, as Counsel fur that gentleman, that such a proceeding appeared tu him to he quite irregular. Mr. Commissioner Putt.tritotte—Yeu are welcome to hear the converaation. _ . _ Mr. Sr EWCE —I think it ought to be public, if it relates to this inquiry. Mr. Parts.ttssont inv;ted a cottn.el on each side to the con ference. Mr. Spence and Mt. Knight attended, and the former gentleman declared that such a proposition could not be acceded to by hint ; the course of proceeding sac quite irregular, and the only course was to arply to the Lord Chancellor on the subject. The conversation terminated. Mr. William Burroughs called—ls a surgeon, and resides at Islington. Was acquainted with Mr. Frank from February to June, Int and sew him sometimes three or four times a-week. Bilieved him to be a penien of srucd mind. Had many profes sional conversations with Air. Frank. Obsetved un oddness shout his manner. and a quickness in his delivery $ • but that did not lead him to suppcsc that he was of unsound mind; it wss not attended with incoherency of expression. That oddness was confined to manner and mode of expression. Saw Mr. Frank in June last. He was low.spirited in June. Mt. Frank accounted for it by being in town on unpleasant business. Saw him on Friday week, and last Friday, S-ittirday, and Sunday. On Friday, Mr. Frank rode out in a gig with him, and said he did not like to tide in a gig in London suety, for it was dangerous. He raid it was a hot day • that them wands: be a good 1131VCit ; that there could not be a good second crop of hay, if theta was not some rain ; and that Ye ge!ablcs were gang by, and getting dearer. The result of the con versation aatlshe..l lam Mr. I rank was of soundmind. He was C 3. ',able of reflection and discrimination. Saw Mr. F. that morning, and belied him to be in better spirits than before. Ile illl3 lost his sight, but in reference to hia intellectual powers, he believes him capable of managing his own affairs. Gross-examined by the So fie To e.O E AL—Never convers ed with Jr.f F.. about Dr. Dickenson and Mrs. Frank. Never asked hitt: if the imputatixis or. his wife's chastity were caluninics, or if be persisted in hiastatement that Mr. lirilainy had bribed the i poet,tauter to intercept has letters. Br. Veitch examined by Mr. Sretecg—ls medical superinten dant of the Royal Naval Lunatic Asylum, at lloxton. There is another asylum it Ilaslatti. Has examined into the state of Mr. Frank, as to his mental powers, his judgment, and his memory, and endeavoured to ascertain if those powers were so overlaid by the force of imagination as to render him incompetent to perform the ordinary duties of life. Ile found no defect in his mental power, so as to mak: him either a maniac or in ideot, A ltsaw Um SOLICISOI.OENEII AL—Had examined ' supposed intercourse between his wife and . inr. F. believed that Dr. Dickenson was his friend, mat the stories respecting theadultery were calumnies ; heals° believed that Mr: Bellamy had got possession of some of his letters by intercepting them; be said his reason forgoing back to live with his is ife was founded on a conviction of her innocence, and that the separation had been the result of a conspiracy of Bellamy a. Ad : nitutog that Mr. F. believed his wife criminal. his return to her did not prove unsoundness of mind ; it proved a want of delicacy,- • profligacy, and a weakness of mind ; his mind was sound, but there was a deficiency in the force of character. By the Cute, Counissioxxx—A man may be of unsound mind, who is neither • luoatie nor an ideot; a man is of unsound mind when imagination has got full possession of all his faculties: and when he believes the suggestions of his imagination to be sub stantial truths; did not believe blr. F. in either of these states; Mr. F., he had already said, is a weak man without force of cha racter, but neither an ideot nor insane; he questioned Mr. F. that morning as to the deed lie had executed, and IBr. F. said lie thought it ICS's proper he should provide for his young children, who would otherwise be destitute. D.. Bur rough examined—lie had had as much experience in cases of this description as most of his medical brethren present. Ile had repeatedly examined Alr• Frank on various subjects, and I particularly as to his wife's conduct, his opinion of Dr. Dickenson, end as to his profligate conduct at Hull, Curd:ridge, 'and r tier places. lie had also examined Mr. F. as to whether he considered himself under restraint when he resided in the Adelphi. He said, that Malcolm was engaged as • courier. as he bad Intended to make a touron the continent. /le also said, that he was aware that his intimacy with loose women was very improper; he regretted his misconduct, but added, that his conversation and behaviour at Cam bridge had been exceedingly exaggerated he said, that so far as his own observation went, he had no reason to suspect Mrs. Frank of adultery, but that the information was given to him by Mr. Bel. Lamy. Capt. Mainwating, and others ' who were, he believed, his friends, and therefore he gave belief to it. On being asked how they came together again, he replied, that he had written to Mrs. Frank to come to him at Doncaster, which she did. He added, that there had been much correspondence respecting her, but find ing no proof of the adultery, and afterwards believing those whom be formerly supposed his friends Lobe his enemies, he had discharged his suspicion of Mrs. F. Asa proof that Mr. B. was his enemy lie said, lie had not discharged his agency with fidelity, having felled timber without his permission, and not accounted for the proceeds, and the same respecting some deposit-money on land. In convers ing with him respecting the meaning of the word conspiracy, he re plied, he surely had reason to think of conspiracy, when he found his two brothers-imlaw, his two eldest sons, and all his sisters corn. bitted against him, except his sister Elizabeth. On his being ask ed if he had lowered his rents dining the agricultural depression, he said he had, in many instances to the amount of ten, fifteen, and twenty per cent. ; and he explained the rates in a rational way. Ile saw Mr. Frank last Wednesday evening, for the first time since May ; and described, that after a general conversation of half an hour, touching on the present proceeding, he remarked, in re ply to a question on the subject, that he did not feel relieved by the inquiry, for it wan a fearful thing to go before a jury. In allusion to the state of the weather, lie apprehended that it would much in- jure the turnips in Norfolk, and that the barley would be light. In discoursing that morning with hint upon some of the topics they had conversed about last May, he recollected some and forgot others. The witness related some other parts of the conversa tion, which were immaterial ; and he declared that, in his jud4- meat, though Mr. Frank appeared to be an eccentric man in his manners, he did not think he was of unsound mind now, though lie believed he had been insane in 1816. Ills eccentricities might cer tainly lead a casual observer to think he was insane. In his cross-examination, he said that Mr. Frank had ap proved of Dr. Dickenson as a mere faithful steward then 3lr. Bellamy, and disbelieved the reports afloat about the Doctor in his family. In answer to a question from the Chief Commissioner, he de clined defining the term lunacy, not believing that the definition of doctors cleared up the point, but he thought Mr. Frank to be a very immoral, and a very peculiar man, still perfectly competent to transact his own affairs as a gentleman of fortune, with that assist. ante which such a person ought to have. Ile had a defect of sight, and was very indolent, and required much assistance. Several of the Jury here intimated a desire to see Mr, Frank again, but without the presence of the Commissioners. As this could not be permitted without a reftrence to the Lord Chancellor, the application was withdrawn, it being at the same time perfectly understood, that when the Jury and the Commissioners had another inttrview with Mr. Frank, the former were at perfect h. berty to put whatever questions they pleased to him, in the most unconstrained and least formal manner. The Commissioners de. dared, that they were most anxious the Jury should have the 1 ['list opportunity of seeing Mr. Frank in the manner most agree ble to their wishes, but they could not depart from the established hoot of proceeding. 31r. SPENCE said, that the only evidence which he should offer in behalf of Mr. Frank, in addition to what had been already been before the Jury, was a written communication from Dr. Willis, at Buxton. The Solicitor had despatched a letter to the Doctor, who had, in reply, stated the impossibility, through indisposition, of his attending the Inquisition ; but, as his evidence was import. ant, he understood that there would be objection to the reception of , the Doctor's affidavit. _ . _ _ ..... The SOLICITOR-GENERAL refused to consent to the admission of such evidence. Mr. SPENCE then said, that he must apply for an adjourn. merit, and Dr. Willis's attendance could be obtained by summons. The CeMMISSIONERS asked the Learned Counsel whether he could pledge himself fur the attendance of Dr. Willis on Monday Mr. SPENCE replied in the negative. It was then decided that the proceedings could not be stayed for an indefinite length. ' A conversation thcn arose between the Jury and the Commis. sioners, and it was determined that they should have another inter. view with the supposed lunatic, who was sent fur to Warwick-court. —Mr. Spence having closed his examination of witnesses, said, that as the Jury meant to see Mr. Frank forthwith, he would avail himself of their absence to read over the notes of the evidence, and prepare his summing up of the material topics. Upon further con. sideration, however, he requested an adjournment until Monday next, and for this reason, that he felt he ought to be present at their interview with Mr. Frank, to enable him to save time in his speech to evidence, and address himself precisely to the topics must essen tial for the consideration of the Jury on the whole case. After a consultation between the Court and the Jury, the ad journment until Monday was conceded. Sir James Williams (a Juror) then rose and demurred to the de cision of the Commissioners, which precluded the Jury from an interview with Mr. Frank, without their presence also. It now mi. peered that Counsel were likewise to attend, so that instetal of having a private and informal opportunity of conversing with the I unfortunate gentleman, they were to make that figure before him ' which was the very thing they desired to avoid ; tinder such eir cumstances, lie saw no use in having the interview with Mr. Frank He must protest against any thing which limited the free exercise of a Juror's inquiry. The CHIEF CbNISTSSIONEE again explained. that the Corn.. Ittissioners had a solemn and independent duty to discharge as well as the Jury, and were bound to attend the whole of the proceed ings, They could not take this case in a manner difi'erent from all previous inquisitions; it was an undoubted right of the Jury to in terrogate the supposed lunatic in whatever manner they pleased, of course always with due consideration and delicacy for his feelings. Ile appealed to the Jury whether the Commissioners had not acted with this delicacy throughout the whole of these proceed. ings ? This was admitted by several Jurors, at the same time many were of opinion it would be advisable to see Mr. Frank in the least formal manner. The Court then adjourned until Monday next (this day). A Return has been printedOfTlenumber of persons committed to any prison in Scotland for debt, from Ist January, 1824, to Ist January, 1825 ; distinguishing such as were imprisoned for debt not exceeding 6/. tram those where the atneunt of debt was larger." The distinc:ions between debts above Ili. and under is taken. because causes not exceeding M. may be summarily tried in the Justice. of Peace Courts of the various districts into which each county is divided, and judgment may be followed up by imprison ment or distress. It appears that the whole numherof personsl imprisoned for debt, during the year in question, in Scot- Iland,was33Bo, of which number 2067 for debts under .5/. andl 1313 for debts above five pounds. But the most remark able contrast prevails between the cities and manufacturing districts, and the rest 6f th e country. The co u n t i es o f IBertvick, Roxburgh, Wigtown, Selkirk, Ross and Cro-1 marty, Sutherland ) Peebles, Orkney, Nairn, Linlithgow, l I Perth, Kirkudbright, Kinross, Inverness, Haddington 'Forfar, Fife, Elgin, Dumfries, Caithness, Bute, Banff,' and Argyll, with a population of 1,121,000 cools, have 275 debtors under 61., and 436 above, that is, about two fifths more above than under 31., while on the other hand, the counties of Aberdeen, Ayr, Dlinburgli, Lanark, and, Renfrew, with a population of 830.000, have 1792 debtors under .5/., and 877 above, that is, snore than twice as many under V. as above. This is a very singular contrast. ‘Ve question if there is a country in Europe in which out of a population of 1,121,000, and with the utmost facility in obtaining judgment and imprisoning, the number of debtors imprisoned would rot have exceeded e 75 in one twelvemonth. The county of Berwick, the pattern county for agriculture, not merely in Scotland, but in the island, with a population of 33;185, had not one person imprisoned I for less than W. A woman in Avon -street, Bath, named Trowbridge, having quarrelled wi t h h er h us b a nd, and, fearful that he intended to beat het, on Monday ran to the garret window, and icaning on some wood-work on the outside to see if lie was at the street-door, it gave way, and she full to the ground. She was conveyed to the Casualty Hospital, but 'died almost immediately. hMie - & . . . LIVERPOOL, FUIDAY EYE NING• Wind t W.N.W.-11ighovater 43 m. p. 2.

About 11 o'clock on Tuesday night, au alarming and destructive fire was discovered on the premises of Mr. Wil liam Brown, of I:Wenn Farm, in the parish of Bread Hinton ; and such was the rapidity with which it raged, that in a very short time it totally consumed the dwelling house, barns, stables, granary, three wheat ricks, a huge quantity of wheat in chaff, fifty sacks of beans, two hay ricks, 80 tolls of wool, threshing machine, various imple ments in husbandry, and the greater part of the household furniture; and, what sadly adds to the calamity, three va luable riding horses, two pigs, five dogs, and all the pawl try, were burnt to a cinder. Two labourers' cottages were also consumed ; and had it not been for the most ac;;•.e personal exertion arid direction of Mr. Colley, and other neighbours of Mr. Brown, five hay-ricks and other build- ' ingot must inevitably have shared the same fate. I: is a most providential circumstance, that Mr. Brown and Ls family had not perished in the flames, as the house was on fire in all directions before it was discovered by any of its iumates. hree reapers, who were sleeping in the bate, also narrowly escaped an untimely death; one of the poor fellow's shirts was on fire °Willis back. The above dread ful conflagration is suspected to be the act of an incendiary, and a woman has since been committed to 'Marlborough B:idcwell, on suspicion of being the perpetrator of the dia bolical act. About half-past nine o'clock on Saturday night a fire broke ant in the shop of Mr. Ilurly, law stationer. 124, Chancery-lane; and as the place was shut up, and the family not being in the hour, the neighbours, on the appearance of smoke, were obliged to break open the dour, and force in the front window and shutters; and by such prompt measures a sufficient supply of water from the adjoining houses was obtained as to stop the further progress of the fire. The stationery and other valuable prop e rty in the shop has been, however, severely damaged, if not totally destroyed, and rendered useless. Had the fire broke out one hour later, front the nature of the adjoining houses, the circumstance might have beta attended with the most lamentable consequences. Another tire broke out about eight o'clock yesterday morning, is the first floor of the house of Mews. Stephen Wilvm, Son, and Co. silk-manufacturers, No. 124, Wood street, Cheapside, Ira corner of Goldsmith-street. The tire burst ont at all the first filet 1 windows, and threatened the total destructi on o f th e w h o le brute and of those adjoining. The very speedy arrival of the engird, with an abundant supply of water, confined the fire to the sae. house of Mr. Wcedon, which, with its contents, is completely de. stroyed. The valuable property in the warehouse of Moto. Wilson and Co. has been greatly damaged by scorching, and tre immense quantity of water poured in upon the premises, to r• serve them from total destruction. It is feared that 20,001. not cover the amount of the damage. The tire was got comple under by nine o'clock. IVilham Tayler, Tailor and Breeches-maker, 72.
