She was completely insen. eible from the time she had been thrown into the water until the following morning.

The proceeding would be fatal, if it were sanctioned. What he stated was the substance of affidavits which he begged to lay before his Lordship, and it was sworn in them that the declared object complained against was to raja Mr. Wilke by the proceeding they had adopted, All Mr. Wilks's put letters had been withheld. On these grounds, there fore, eenteneing that the proceeding was against Mr.Verbeire's own deed, that Mr. Laniard. the trustee, even had no ground to *ante tete. and that, if ground liad ever existed, it had not been legally Proceeded noon. he etihmitted that the case was one in which, un der the common law, the Magistrate was bound to interfere, and re store to the party complaining - the possession of the premises vie_ lently and Illegally taken front him. He (Mr. Chitty) had himself adopted this course of proceeding against a person who had In a similar manner illegally obtained possession or some premises, and three Magistrates had convicted the offender in the yenaliy of CAW. The law, wisely for this purpose, made the Magistrates Justices of Record. Ile took the proceedings under the authority of Tidd. The Loan Mayon asked tnc Chief Clerk whether he knew of any ease in point? Mr. Holder said it was not an every-day case, and that he was not then aware of any decision which could be cited. 311% CHITTY said he could refer his Lordship 0 the Magistrates whn made the decision. The Loan MAYOR said he was of opinion that the mode taken by 111 r. Verbeke to obtain possession was unlawful, even supposing he had the right to them. As to the intention and motive on which so much stress had am said by the Learned Counsel, that, his lordship considered, formed matter for the dechion of another Court. At this time Mr. Verbeke flaring arrived, and being informed of thenature of the application said that he was entitled to have copies of the effitlarits made in the case. and presented to his Lordship, bef,re he was culled upon to answer them. Mr. CHITTY professed much respect for Mr. Verbeke, from what he bud seen oi him, andadvised him tint to seek the advice of tome rrotessional friend. Mr. Verbeke Raid, that unless Mr. Lawford joined in this mea. sure, it was legally of no avail. He (Mr. Verbeke) had been anxious throughout the proceeding not to involve that gentleman in the proceedings. If, however, Mr. IVilks persisted in his course, he( Mr. Verbeke) must adopt measures that would compel Mr. Lastrtiod to eject Mr. %VIA% and himself too. . . bonn 111.itot directed the attentitm of Mr. Verbeke to that which heeinssidered the nutter's' point before him, namely, the mariner of obtaining and defending the possession of the premist•. • - 31v. V etheke wished to explain why fire-arms were used. After the plmmession of the premises had been obtained. a man came, and int:relied the patrol that thirty or forty men would come and break opsa.thslliouse, with the itdemion of retaking possession. Ile emisideral ells am an endeavour to pump the officer to sae whether, if an attempt of the kind were made, it would be resisted. 1 - pon this he openly gave the arms to the persons in possession of the premises, and informed the patrol that they had arms, and would make use of them if any thing of the nature threatened were attempted. Ile did this with the view of preserving the peace by preventing any attempt of the kind. In the course of Sunday three men come. Mr. %Viik■—\ot the 'lightest attempt of the kind war ever made or son lemriwesl._ . Mr. Ver 'fluke declared that his only objcct was to secure the payment of those partnership debts which Mr. Wilks had solemnly promised to pay, both verbally and in writing. The latter had served him with notices or acoons tOr conspiracy and for tresr,s, which he was remind to defend, as well as his right in the pre mises. The payment of the partnership debts would at once put an end to his claim upon them. The hoist) MAI on said. whatever might be the right or claims of Mr. Verteke, the whole of the mode of getting and retaining possesbion of the pre nisei must meet aids the entire condemnation of Magistrate or fiend of order. Verbcke declared that there bad been great misapprehension as tattle mode in which the possession of the premimm was ob tained. .lle denied that there was any violence.

Mr. Chitty alto proceetled epee the statute of the Lith of Henry the Seth, rep. 9. It was oa this sta tute that the Magistrates, in the ease before adverted to, convicted a person in the penalty of 01. and restored to him (Mr. Chitty) poe.ondon of the premises. . _ Mr. \•erbeke protested tigainvt it, being assured that the premises were taken poree‘sion of violently. • 31r.

After some further discussion, when neither party seemel dis posed to come to any terms, aid Mr. Wilks pressed his applica tarn, the Lord Mayor thought it just to Mr. Verbeke to adjourn it, to give him time for consideration, and the case was adjourned ac cordingly until next week. Haerote-fla aDE IC—Yesterday. Prone!: EM:O7I, a powerful mid most ill-looking fellow, tees brought up from St, Pancras watch-house, charged with the fallowing daring highway rob bery Teesdale, the watch-house-keeper, stated, that there was anothet and a prior charge agaii.st the prisoner, who was apprehended by the patrol on Sunday night. as en idle and disorderly character, having been recognised us the namciate of those gangs of thieves that Infest all the outlets. After having been confined in the watch house for the right, he was sent off in the custody of Ducey, one of the watchmen, on his way to this office. but when they got into laystall-street, tiray'a Inn-lane, the prisoner watched an un. guarded opportunity, knocked down Ducey, wise is rather en in. firm man, and effected his escape; and on the tnllowing evening (Tuesday), Itappeared that he had gem:nit:el the robbery with hich he now wood charged. Anne Sounder., a decent ilftntit woman, then stated the ftdlowing particulars:—titre was hotteemard in the service of James Patten, E.q. a gentleman residing at Kentish Town. On Tuesday last she obtained leave to conic into town, for the purpose of nicking come little purchases, and had that morning received a sovereign on account of her wages. Being delayed rather later than she ex. peeved,: be stage had gone, and she was obliged to walk home alone. Ate clutter or half past ten o'clock she was going along the back road, Camden Town, when a man started out from a re cess close to Counsellor Agnes wall, sod, with horrid threats and imprecations, demanded her money. She exclaimed, " Oh, my (101 l ! let me gb, I have no money. lam only a poor servant. Do pray let me go home." The prisoner (for she hail no doubt as to his identity) swore that he would have either her life or her money. She ngain protested that she had none that would be worth his taking, alai conjured him to let her pass on, but he became only the more desperate, and told her he knew very well she had money, and that she should Bartender it without further delay, or he would murder her. Witness looked up and down the road, in the hope of seeing some one coming up who might protect her, but there was no appearance of succour. The night was uncommonly dark, anti it rained hard the prisoner, at this time, had fast hold of her with one hand, and with the other he forced from her a small par. cel. containing the articles which she had purchased in town, being eight yard* of lace, sod two of thread net : he then seized her hand, in which she had three shillings in silver, all that remained out of the pound. Witness said to him, " Now you have got all, let me go; what more do you want ?" The prisoner, however. was Ilaertnincd to have more, and endotroured to drag the shawl which she wore from off her shoulders- This she resisted with all lice streng:li, and called loudly for help, when the prisoner let go her arm, tuurgrasping the shawl with one hand, he thrust the other into his bosom, front whe..Ce he drew forth a large knife, similar to those used by butchers, which lie presented at her breast. and swore tl a: he would stop Iter squalling if she did not he quiet. Fearing, from his determined manlier, that he would ;tut Isis threats into exe cution. she abandoned the shawl, which fell on the road ; he was about to attack her aguin, but on the sound of approaching footsteps lie immediately tan of in the direction of London. Witness then went home, sold acquainted her fellow.servants with what had occurred. One of die footmen went out on the road, and stated the clieumstance to the night patrol, witness giving an exact deecrip lion of the person of the robber; there might be soma alight change in the dress worn on that night, but she could swear positively to the hat, which was a flat crowned sail cloth, such as sailers usually sear.. The remainder of his dress masa a correspondent character to that worn by the prisoner. with the excep t ion of thgg frock. She thought, as well as she could discern in dWobsetue light, that the man who stopped her had on a short jadket. • Mr. Patten stated that the witness had told precisely the same story when she came home, though excessively agitated. bite was a very steady and well-behaved servant. Teesdale. the watch.house keeper, stated that the prisoner had been brooght In by one of the watchmen, not on accowntef the robbery, but In conacquente of his assault on Ducey, the patrol, as before stated ; and whilst in confinement, the road patrol mentioned the robbery, and described the person of the man who bad cam tatted it. Teasdale irritnitlistely perceived the similarity of the Own then in the watch.house to the one described, and, mention ing hill suspicions to the }low:street patrol, the meet-m. 4 was brought t the watch-house the next morning (Ttuirsday), when she pointed out the prisoner, amongst six others, as the man w h o had robbed hers Ducey, the pastsd. described the prisoner having knocked h lin dews on Monday morning, when conveying him to the police office. lie was a most desperate character. The prosectitrix was then recalled, anti Mr. Sergeant SELLON asked her if she thought there was any other man in die prisoner's company at the time of the robbery ? The prosecutrix said that she Saw only the one, and felt con. sliced that there was no more. _ The pri.oncr, in the most unequivocal terms, denied having any knowledge of the robbery. if he was permitted he could prove that he was in another place on the night in question. Sergeant SEL Lost remarked, that the setting up an alibi would prove either the worst or the best defence that could he made. However, as the charge was one of so serious a nature—indeed of e that would probably affect his life—it was but fair to grant him rea. towable time to meet it. He was remoulded until Wednesday, all the wi:nesses being bound one toprosecute. OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENCES. OLtItI.IIOItOUGH-STISt ET.— Yeatertlay, George Spelling, • hanger-on about the Mardialses Court, was brought up for detraud ing Levi Morrell, a corn-chandler. in Great Earl -street, Seven Dials, of 101. under the pretence of obtaining his liberation aftersen tence of three tuoidlis had been parsed upon hint. Our readers may recollect that Morrell was prosecuted by the parish of St. Ann. for a series of assaults on respectable females one afternoon, in Hol. horn, and nt ilte Sessions before last wax set tenced to three months' impriamment in the House of Correction. The prisoner afterwards went to Morrell's wife, and obtained 1111. of her, on the promise th it he should sleep at ome that night. Morrell has suffered the corm of his imprisonment, anti arrested Spelling for the IN. Spell ing wait to Morrell's. offering to return the 101.. minus certain 'lychees and charges for remuneration; this Alone') rejected, and bas been thrown Mtn the Itlantlialeea. His wife yesterday gave the following deposition : Sarah Morrell lives at 11, Great Earl-atreet--On the 24th of June her husband was convicted of an assault, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the House of Correction; in the afternoon of the same dr.y, the prisener, whom she had previously known, came into her shop, told her he had spoken to the penal (Accra, and could get her hutiband ofF if she Rive him 101., and that lie should sleep at [ionic that night. Believing his representation to be true, she gave hint a clerk on Whitmore and Co., Lombard. street, for U. Os., two sovereigns, two half-sovereigns, and the rest in silver, to the amount of ten pounds. A man named Newman was in the shop, waiting while she paid the money to the prisoner; her mother was also present. Alter getting the money he went away, saying 110 was going to the Sessione.house, to her husband. Two hears after he met her in King-street, and told bat that her hueband meld rut be Ilbereted till the Tharsaay following. Said he hail got • petition drawn up for the ithabitenes to sign in her husband's behalf, and made her sign "Levi Mer rell,' for her husband. Her husband was not discharged till the expiration of his sentence. Last Friday week the prisoner pre sented a bill to her husband for the trouble and expenses incurred, and offered him a balance of the 101., which lie refused. Last Satunlay her husband was arrested and put in the Meralialsea. Lec, who arrested her husband, and bailed Spelling, was on the opousite side of the way. The prisoner was apprehended last Thursday, when Morrell gave evidence agaiim him, but which 1 , 11 not taken down by the clerk. The prisoner then asserted that lie hail obtained the (VII. sent of Mr. Earl, the vcstry.clerk of rt. Ann's. to the prosecutor's liberation ; and to give an opportunity for Mr. Earl to atter& the ease was adjourned to yesterday ; but, in Me interval, Morrell lies been arrested, and hie evidence is necessary to the conviction of the prisoner. Mr. Earl said he had not given any caneent to Spelling, fur .Mor rell's discharge ; a man culled at lIIs trtSee one dr, went sway, anti never called again. One thing and another had retired 111 or. roil ; and though the other side had had a different motive, they had really done the man a service, for he had no means of getting out of prison but by taking the beneat of the Insolvent Act. ' Mr. CIIITTV attended for Spelling. lie contended that this was not a case of fraud. To prove that the piscine' obtained money under a false pretence, they must show that he had that ntoncy for something that was not worth the conside w n i i i t i i c o h n paid fix m it, o a n s ey fra t . , • . w o o r, r i t y h i l . e l r t: pa inc r d eel on , or n i p n ro tl i i i c is n e a a me se t a ic ri e. o? ler. Now this he bad performed by tirawing up a petitiomand getting it signed by a great many ichetWants. lie had also the consent of the hus band to get the immey of the wife, and had actually given the hus. band s portion of the eioncy while lie was in prison. A witness, ranted Newman, belonging to the illarshalsea Court, admitted hearieg the couversation of Spelling with Mrs. Alorrell when she gave him the money. Ile went with Spelling to Mor rell, who said to Spelling, " Do what you can ; if my wife has not got money enough go to my solicitor." - - Sir G. FannA:4 - 1 7 told Mr. Chitty the husband was a material witness for both Om The wife were to giving the prima the money to obtain her husband's discharge, which he hail not pro cured. fle thought it equally Dereinary. for the prisoner's :10 , 66- cation, that Morrell should be produced.

Mr. titivvr said he would undertake to bring Mirrell up oil Thursday on a hubtah torpor. JOHNSON THE. INFORMER. _ . . . .... ....... Johnson summoned six publicans for keeping late hours, and suf fering gambling. \Viten the first case was called, Mr. Vtttoo, a solicitor, took an objection that the wording of the information was defective. It stated that a certain number of persons were tippling In the holm at a late hour. but did nut asy not`beinic wayfaring travellers." This was allowed by the Magiatrates to be fatal. Mr. VII4OO made the same objection to the second ; besides which the sign of the house was the •• Roebuck," and the informa tion called it the " Stag's Head." Ths first information was dismissed with expenses, and Johnson begged to withdraw the other five. Each istminona costs 4s. Gd. ; and should he lay fresh informa tions against the same parties, each of the witnesses that attended yesterday must be paid by him 31. for attendance. STItEET ROBBERY. James Graver, a man dressed like a coachman, was brought op for stealing the great coat of Mr. Smith, of Red Lion-squarc, yes terday morning.

OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT. ercrow-trat.t..—Nestetday a powerful-lookiqg fellow. named Fitsrqtrick, was brought before the sitting Alagitkrate, J. C. Cald well, Esq. charged with having committed a violent Rtlia , lll. upon Mrs. Radcliffe, the wife of the landlord of the Griffin publi7.- house, in Church-street, Southwark. The complainant wax unable to attend, in consequence of the dangerous nature o!' the injuries inflicted on her by the defendant. Her husband and a person of the name of Alexander came forward and made a statement of the facts. From their evidence it appeared that about 12 o'clock that day the defendant entered the tap.rcom of die Griffin, apparently rather In liquor. lie calithi fur spirits, when Ira. Radcliffe, wholtappened to be in the room at the time, and perceiving that he had had a snffitient quantum, refused to draw him any. He became exceedingly insolent, and demanded in an authoritative tone, that he should be served with whatever he pleased if he paid for it. The landlady still refused to comply, particularly as the defendant had conducted himself in a waist scandalous manner the day before in the house ; an much so, that it was ibund necessary to give him into the custody of a constable, and he was brought to this office and fined for being drunk ; he was unable to pay the penalty, and would have been committed to gaol had not itlr. Radcliffe interfered flr him, and paid the fine to the King. On the present occasion airs. Radcliffe, seeing that he was inclined to be as tioublesoine as on the day before, insisted on his leaving the house, and peremptorily refused to let hip'. have any thing while he remained there. This determination an her part no enraged the defendant, that he in a most brutal and cowardly manlier struck 3lrs. Radcliffe. who is now pregnant, a violent blow in thestomach. Ile repeated the blow, and she would have fallen to the ground had it on been fora person named Alexander. who caught her in his arms. As aeon as this person had placed her in a chair, a'te being insensible at tire time, he turned his at. tendon to the defendant, and having upbraided him for striking a female, particularly in the situation Ain. Radcliffe then oak he (Alexander) proceeded to give him in charge, when he suddenly attacked him, and would have aliniately overpowered hint, had not Mr. Radcliffe just come home at !list period, and assisted in securing the defendant, wl o was described as having conducted himself in the moat outrageous manner during his Duty in the house. - The Magistrate (to Mr. Raleliffe)—Can you swear that your vrile i‘ unable to attend, in consequence of the ill-treatment she received at the hand of the defendant ? Mr. Radcliffe replied that his wife was apparently in a most dangerous way ever aii,e.• she had' been assaulted by the defendant, so much an that she had nut spoken since. The tlefendant, who then appeared to be rather inebriated, had hie face marked, as if he had been a good deal punished /Moot the countenance during the outrage, called the Magistrate's attention to his bruises, and said that the conduct attributed to him was gr,,asly exaggerated. He had been inaulted in the house by Alexander, and, in aiming a blow at that person, missed him, and struck Mrs. Radcliffe. This assertion,he;erer. was denied; and the Illagistrate having dispatched one of the officers for a medical certiffeate, emscribing the injuries she had sustained, on its befr.g uroduced, it prormunred that Mrs. Radcliffe was In a dangerous state, owing to robeat in juries. Mr. CALDWELL having expressed the utmost iodignstm at the conduct of the &iced:on in so grossly attacking a female, portion. holy one in the delicate situation tu which Mrs. Radcliffe hal petard to be at the time of the outrage, "under all the eircumsta ,, ces of the case," said the worthy Mapleton', "I shall now remand the defendant until Mrs. Radcliffe shall be nrooeuneed out of danger; and in the event of a fatal termination, I shall not heiltate to COM mit hint for trial." A FEMALE BACCHANALIAN. An 'high apple-woman was brought up, charged w tit bring riotous ant: disorderly on the previous night, in front 'Ol the Coburg Theatre. • _ _ _ A constable haling sworn that the defendant was drunk, and that she was a continual pest about the Theatre. The lUagibtrate was about to inflict the usual fine to the King, when the defendant implorzd forgiveness promising never to offend again. Mr. CALDWF.LL-1 am told you arc constantly In a state of io. toxication : you must pay the tine now, and 1 hope it will nut)te an impression upon yeu in future. Defendant—God bleat yoar Ilor.onr, don't go to send me,to gaol ; the King, I'm sure. don't watt my money God help me, all the harm I Jo is to myself, and that is, 1 drink all my bard earnings. It was stated that she was a most incorrigible drunkard, being in that state morning. noon, and night. Mr. CALDWELL—You must pay .51. ; and then you will be discharged, and not till then. Defendant sho..k her head, and clasping her hands together, ex claimed, " I wish to Jesus there was not a drop of liquor in the world, and then poor Poll Kennedy would nor be in this scrape." Poll Kennedy, however, paid the fine in the course of the day, and was allowed to depart. NUTTING PUNISHED WITH TWO MONTHS" IMPRISONMENT.. We extract the following sensible and spirited remarks from the Paltry Mercury of Wednesday : A poor labouring man, in the employment of H. E. fleatheote, Esq. M.P. for Coventry, Langton Hall, was tempted to gather a few nuts, in a coppice near Cocknage, Mr which he was summoned before a Magistrate who, considering the o ff ence of a 'Avid nature, fined him in the penalty of Ifirpcnce ; but the expenses attendant on the conviction amounted to Elert'll Shillings end Sixpence! ! mak ing the entire sum of Tredve Shillings! !! • And a friendly inti 'nation was given him, that if not paid within a given period lie would be committed to prison. Owing to some circumstance tbc "day of grace" was suffered to expire, and then, although he offered the constable the full and entire sum, it was sefused— he dragged front his family, fettered with hand-cuffs. and nurched off to the county gaol—there to associate, fur Two Months, with (ions of every elegy. e. After this, we may expect to hear of the conviction of every child detected gathering blackberries from the hedges, or bill berries from the commons. We confess that we cannot exactly eiseaver why a penalty so Severe as imp, inntnusii should be in. flitted upon °Wenders ngninst the nailing ltcs. What cm the most strict morality make of it ? A few harle boughs may ibdied he broken by the nutters ; but mere injury is done in the course of the night by the visits of hares and rabbits than by all the nut gatherers in the season. But why should we rnenti.m bares and rabbits ?—They arc Game—they belting to a privileged c'ass—they may offend with impunity—they can injure every ma , .'s pmperty— but woe to Ifin who touches /hem ! They can destroy the subsistence of thousands of men—they can till the gaols with victims, to whom a residence with felons may be but the means of rendering inno. cure,: infected with pollution—but the lives of Game appear of more value to their possessers than the welfare, the liberty, and the life of fellow-incr. Is a man, we ask, or a hate, of must im. portance to society ? • THE BILL. Summons 24 Od.

About two o'clock yesterday morning, the back premises of the Horns public house, Gutter-lane, elleapside, kept by Mr. Mitcham, were discovered to be on fire, and, from the rapidity with which it burnt, the greatest alarm was entertained for the lives of the inmates, and the safety of the adjoining.houses. Fortunately, however, the family were speedily alarmed by the watchmen of their danger ; and the neighbenrs were so prompt in their assistance, that they were all preserved from their perilous situation with out receivini any serious injury, but with no other cover ing than their night clothes. The timely arrival of the engines, wilt a .good supply of water, preserved the houses immediately adjoining. The fire communicated to the back premises of the Cross Keys Tavern, in Weod.street, Clicapside. • The firemen, however, by their . exertions, preserved it from tout! destruction, although the hack pre• mists are niuch &triaged.
