He had, he assured the Lord Never. been very badly treated indeed. tor—l assure your bonlabip thatWbis coachman acted in the rm.( Unita) manner on the oceasion• '.le whipped the gentleman several times, notwithstanding me interference as an otticer, and oven struck h im as hard as he could with the butt-end of the whip. The coachman loudly declared that there was no truth in this statement. Ne had been moat desperately abetted by the prisor.er. This was said in a tone, and with gesticulations, which confirmed the statement that the fellow had conducted himself in the moat rvflianly canner , when lie had it a ll in his own way. The Loan 111AVOI: —Do not dare to call the gentleman a prl p set , ought to stand before me as a prisoner. Coachman—l ! why, my Lord, I came here to be ilhentinntrd 'remunerated) for my loss. I'll tell you how it all vas, my Lord. Let me be sworn—give me the book. The Loan 31.torna-111 not hear you Itt. an evidence. Here n penen of respectable sovtrance stood forward, and stated that the Street keeper's shumnent watt perfectly accurate. The gentl••rwn would, were it not for Taylor's interference, pro / ably hate Brea run one and destroyed, as he was altogether un r.b:e to take care of himself. The Loan Ma Yon—Now. coachman, Fit hear your def!.ice. The Coachman—Vl, your Lordship, you see I had a fare. As t was driving easy along the street, this here prisoner came up, ..rd he took and broke the glass of my coach, and he stopped my horses, and I might a broke my neck. Fe I ram let go the reins. :rower, and he woultrnt do no such thing.

The Street-keeper-111y Lord, he struck the gentleman in the .:10111 manner, even when I held the Litter; and he knew 1.. • 1 'rd•, -n officer all the time. _ . The I.OIID ItIATIIR asked time person who had caused all this slistmhance, by hislnebriety, whet he had to say ?—lie replied, that he had taken too much wine, and that, as he was crossing the street, the coachman, who was driving furiously. struck him with his whip. and repeatril the blow frequently, when he seized the reins, In crder to get the number of the coach. Ths LOUD Mayon-At is evident that you were in a disgrace ful condition, Sir. IrAeed I can no more take your evidence as to the occasion, than I can that of this coachman.

'On riOli rite Losn Mal - on—No, you shall pay those two men who - have lost their day by attending here to represent your conduct, or you shall find ball. This &vision gave the greatest satisfaction. The coachman, who called himself 31r. went away, after tol:owing the advice, d—g his eyes. The I.ono Alavon very highly commended the behaviour of the street-keeper upon the ”ccasion. rtijah Pinkory was charged by a clothier in the county of Gloucester, to whom he had hven an *gem t for some time, with haring pledged two rirces of kerseyniere, which had been intrusted to him in older that he might sell them for die benefit of the pro. Mr. Nathaniel Shackell Nailsworth stated that the prisoner was h: , agent, and was employed by him to sell goods. On the 21 of the present month, witness directed Daniel Taylor, a person also in his employment, to deliver to Pinkney two pieces of kerseyincre to sell on his account. Pintmey was his agent before this transae. nor, and was to have two and a half per cent. COMMISSiON and he neither received authority, directly nor indirectly, from the witness, to pledge the kemeymere so intrusted ra Ihnitt.l Taylor delivered the keneymere to the prisoner.

HATTOW•CIAllOFN.—Yesterday, Sir John Paul, the bariker,isf the Strand , appear e d tot summons, honed on the complaint of the parish officers of St. Clement Danes and St. Mary-le-Strand, for refusing to pay the usual rewards paid to firemen and turneocks for their attendance in cases of emergency. The principal fireman of the St. Clement Danes engine said, that he heard an alarm of fire about seven o'clock on Tuesday evening, and oil getting into the Strand he discovered that it proceeded from the house of Sir John Paul ; a body of thick black smoke was then issuing from the chimney, which was succeeded by a ilia charge of sparks and large Hakes of burning soot, many of them passing right 0.. r the house, and falling into the street. A second engine came up at the time, and the witness, along with three other firemen, knocked at the door, and informed one of the servant. that they wished to go in an examine the house, as there was eery ap pearance of danger; after a good deal of resista:tce, they were suf fered to go down int.) the kitchen, when they wanted to put out the fire in the grate, but the cook would not allow them to do so, as lie had to prepare thinner fora large company; they remonstrated tenth him, but to no purpose; however, they continued on the spot for upwards of two hours, when there was no longer any danger to be apprehended, atal therefore considered themselves entitled to the usual bounties. Sir John Paul—What services did you perform ?—We were in attealanee until after nine o'clock. Sir John Paul—But it seems you were not wanting ; the re of which you seem to have entertained such fears went out of itself, did it not?—Why, yes, Sir, it did to be sure, but it might not have so happened. Sir John Paul—These men are very considerate, no doubt, aryl lam sure I ought to be obliged to them. There is no one who fears fire more than I do, but on this occasion, I assure your Worships, there was not the least danger to be apprehended, and their interference was quite uncalled fur. The fact was, that on thin evening there teas a large party to dine at the house, my son having been married that morning ; there might, perhaps, have been a larger fire than tsual in the kitchen grate, and as the flue of the chimney is quite perpendicular, some of the amok% very likely had ascended, which created the alarm in this attentive fire man's intc(l. The fireman persisted in saying that there was very great danger, fur the grate and the jack were quite full of soot, which had fallen down the chimney. Sir John Paul—Well, that seems very singular to me, for I should suppose, if that were the case. that the operations of the cook would have been impeded, and I know that I never had a dinner better dressed—the soot certainly did not spoil the flavour of an excellent haunch of venison which was roasting at the time; but, as I may be considered interested in the decision, I must beg of the Magistrates to examine my porter. The porter was then sworn.—lle was in the house the whole of the time. and followed the firemen into the kitchen, where he coon find nothing to justify their apprehensions, beyond a large fire in the grate. As porter in a banking-house, he should have thought it mare particularly his duty to give alarm, if there was any eau 'On ; but he looked up the chimney, and then went to the opposite side of the Street, yet he could see no appearance of fire, nor more than the ordinary quantity of smoke which might be supposed to issue from a large chimney. Sir John had always made it a rule to have the flues swept every five or six Week', and of course the sow email not have accumulated. Sir John Paul said he was unwilling to impute an improper mo tive to any one, but it seemed as if this had been selected a: a fa vourable opportunity for making a demand. Mr. Sergeant SE1.1.0:1 jocosely asked the porter whether lie thought the turtle or venison had suffired from the fire. The porter, in reply, said they bad not in the least, and a more con!Priabkr dinner was never sent to a table. The Illagistmtes being of opinion that there was no ground for the interference of the firemen, the complaint was dismissed. J. Jervis, one of the box-keepers at Sadler's il'ells Theatre, was brought up on a warrant, by Limbrick, charged with assaulting Mrs. Mary Hughes, wife of flughes, of the Six Clerks' Office. The complainant stated that she went to Hadler's Wells on Tuesday evening. in company with three other ladies; the play had commenced, and tae house wu very full, with the exception of one box, in which there was room enough for her party, but on per. eelving that the places were kept, she waited until the first act was over, when she went into the box, though Ste man lett in charge told her that it was engaged. She then said, I shall keep posses s;on or return the tickets. The defendant came up soon after with a party, MA insisted on her quitting the box. Knowing this to be contrary to the custom of all well-regulated theatrnt, she refused, and the defendant ultimately forced her out of the box, with very considerable violence. . . . The defendant said that this theatre was not governed by the ume rule as the Royal !louses, and the lady had no right to enter the box at the time the did. When told of her error in the mildest manner, she became very violent, and ilinturlicd the company, so that he was compelled to take her out, but no violence had been used. A gentleman who wu in the box at the time corroborated the defend Ant's statement ; be assured her the was wrong, and she told Lim he lit d. The complaint was dismissed. MaRLEOROUG - Ole ROI Tis--.3l:eafertlay„ so..atoitnied exami nation of Clieiter Thomas Whit,c. the book er in Holborn, was concluded. The shop-buy df Whitt, whom Mr. blunt, the solici tor for the prisoner, promised, on Wednesday, to produce, was the first witness examined yesterday. Se little was derived from his evidence, that when Mr. Turner, the law-agent for the parish, proposed some measure as necessary for his forthcoming on the day of trial at the 01.1 Bailey. the lad being too young to be bound on his own recognizance, and having no father. Mr. ALLEY said it was of no oonaequence whether he came or not, as he could supply all he said by other evidence. Daniel Langlois, the shop-boy, stated that he had lived with the prisoner a year and a half, and had always slept with his friends except for a few nights, and once when a fire happened; and on those occasion slept at his oldster's. Ott Sunday. the 17th of Sep tember, only the servant, Catherine Taylor. and himself, slept in the(house. At halt-past four she awake aim by saying there was • great smell of smoke in the back part tat the house. On going down stairs, he observed the back stair-case window open, which he was sure was shut over night. The window would not fasten, the bar having been Inst. When he got to the bottom of the stairs, he observed a great light under the parlour door, and no ticed it to Kitty. She said, "Oh. nonsense, it is only the moon beams." She then looked under the door, anti said, • Oh, there is lire," and ran up for the key of the parlour door. When she came down with it, and opened the door, he saw there was a tire. There had not been a fire in the grate for a week before. After the servant unbolted the daor the watchman came in, and put the tire out. His mss:er had gone to Kentish-town for the benefit of his health, and did not give him any instructions, to case of fire happening, to go to hint, and let him knaw. When he went to his master at half-past six, he went into his master's bed-room, and told him there had been a tire at his house. His master said, " Oh, nonsense! I cannot believe it." Witness re joined, "If you don't believe it I cannot help it." Told him it aas all oat, and asked him to go and see. His master refusing, his mistress told him he must go. lie said, "Very well. I will come directly." The witness then went away, but his master did not start till half-put ten. Ile had observed the removal of any bricks. On Sunday morning he observed that a piece of the skirting-board had been removed. When his master came about hall-past ten, he did not make any observation about the fire. He kept his money in an iron chest, and sometimes in a drawer. %t tutees saw the servant take a bottle of turpentine from the cupboard or the Sunday before the fire,o hen simeaid, Oh, here's • bottle my master did not know of." Godfrey Lazarus, of No. 3, Itutland-street, Oloneester.terrace, jeweller, mated, that he lodged with the prisoner twelve months, and left finally on the Tuesday after the first fire, On the 4th of August his family went to bed about twelve o'clock, and at half past one were awoke from die ef!iset of smoke. He called out there was tire, and all his family got down into the passage and into the street. They returned into the passage, and there tom White, lie wife, and the servant. Mr. White and I'urzcman persuaded him to chargthis own servant (Margaret Drew) on suspicion, which he dA, and she was taken to the watch.betote. After witness returned from the watch-house, lie met 31r. iVhite, laughing, in the pas sage. Ile told the prisoner lie saw nothing to laugh at. The poi loner said, " I would not prosecute her, if I was you." On the fullowiog morning, the prisoner told him he was determined to pro. mute the girl to the utmost. The girl was in eastody, on a charge of ;neon, from the Satunl ty to the Wednesday following. In con sequence of the prisoner leaving the house to sleep at Kentish -town, the witness declined sleeping in the 'muse. any logg c .40/ist Lazarus, wife of the last witness, ...e ' lh the gib f August by an alarm of fire. The next day prisoner told her it must be her servant that set her house on fire, and nobody else.— Witnms thought it impossible from the good conduct of the gitl, and her liming all her Ombes in the house. On the Toesday night previous to the fire, shellrisoner lest the house, and his wife slept with the 'matt. On going to bed site observed the trap-door open, anti a ladder placed up to it ; the said it vas strange, and her husband called bitty to ;olnOwe it ; her husband removed the ladder ; site had never seen the ladder there before, or but once. YMICp Riley. the beadle. gave the same testimony aeon his pre• cinu♦ examination as to the links, and tracing snots of pitch along the Ititchih of Mr. leszarus to the cellar wider the stairs. Edward Gore, 269, High Holborn, tailor and draper, went into the prisoner's holm with Furzentan, and merely repeated the tee. timony of Furzeman about the hearth-rug being soaked in turpen tine, and the Mooring-boards touting up very easy, as though they had not been nailed down. Mr. ALLEY wished the witness to divulge something the wife of the prisoner had told him in her Inithand's pretence; but, after going into ‘l'llite's bed.tooin, she went on her knees and begged for Ciod's sake that he would not tell any person what had passed ; ht solemnly promiatd her be could hot, and, notwithstanding the oath he had t:.ken that day, he could not. Mr. ALLEY told him he would not press him then, but there wa no tlouht the Judge would islet of it. Al , .(lore said, sooner thro brtak his promise, he would forfeit his recognizances. Alr. ALLEY told him he would not putithe question to him on the trial. Mr. Blunt smiled at 3lr. Gore while gi►ing his e►idence, which induced tile lateer to state dist the former had threa.cned hint with an action, which Mr. Blunt quail:kr, by saying he had nut sent a idler to that effect. Mr. ALLEY fold 31r. Gore he had good grounds for an action in the Coin of King's Bench for the threat. Mr. Arrot.rucs insisted the threat was very proper, which brought an angry observation from Mr. Gore, who war retorted on bit. Mr. Adolphus calling him " Mioer tailor," and telling him lie wax " a foolir.h atupicialeaded old man." " Well," paid Mr. Gore, " will you give me Mlle of your ointment ?" Mr. Ado!. THE BRITISH PRESS. phus told him not to be impudent, and to grand cool himself few a hissing goose." 11r. Atmernes put it to Sir George Parrott if he thought there was sufficient doubt to admit the prisoner to bail, which could be procured to a reesonable amount. Mr. ALLEY said he should indict the prisoner on three separate charges; the 4th of August, the 18th of September, and the 4th of October. Mr. Anoernes-1 nay you have not proved sufficient for one, nor the position of one. Mr. Aimex submitted the charge was of that nature, that a Magistrate could not take bail. Sir (JEOnnE FARR•NT refueled to accept bail. White applied to remain at the New Prison instead of being sent to Newgate, anti asked if he could not be permitted to remain where he had been till the day of his trial. Ile was told that the errenge ments necessary for a return to the Sheriff of all prisoners to be tried at the Old Bailey obliged his removal there a fee days previous. The prisoner was fully committed. 111ARYLEHONE.—Yrsterday Jr;l:n Readily and Joules was, the latter a mere boy, were brought up for examination before .Thner BAWL THSON, Esq. charged with robbing the Harrow coach, near Holliedon Green. In consequence of many of the coaches on the western roads having latterly been plundered while traversing the journeys, by an organized gang, theoffice wee crowded by coaceimasters,&e. Roth prisoners were dressed very genteelly, and had been at the office in custody twice before on charges of felony, and Readily, it was stated, is the leader of a gang of robbers, who have interned the above roses, and immeditte successor in command of James Henley, who was hanged for his participation in the outrages at West-end fair. It appeared in evidence that Mr. Turner, the proprietor of the Harrow roach. was driving on Wednesday afternoon, and when close to Hollisdon Green, about seven miles from Harrow, Mrs. Hartley, a passenger, who was sitting at the back of the conch, called to him that son :e turn were robbing the coach. Mr. Turner instantly pulled up, and alighted from the coach. The two pee. soners, upon the alarm. darted across the road into a hedge, Rcaddy carrying with him a carpet travelling hag belonging to Mr Sergeant Routh, which had been deposited in the hind boot of the coach, and he threw the bag into the ditch, and finding he could cot conceal himself in the brambles, he retreated across the fields; but Mr. Turner raising en alarm, Mr. Christmas, a gentleman living at a villa in the fields, came out, anti with his servants intercepted the prisoners' mercer, and they were both secured. The younger prisoner, Wilke, upon being stopped, sunk down to the ground, exclaiming, in great agitation, " Ile quiet, don't do any thing, let me fetch wind.' The man oho captured him complied with his request, as he appeared perfectly exhausted and breathless. The other prisoner looked as If inclined to resist, but WAS soon over powered and rendered incapable of resistance. Upon being brought to the coach. Mrs. Hartley identified them as the persons who had opened the boot door, and carried away the hag. Mi. Hew et escrer observing that Readily had changed his drew', since he had been in custody, said that the watch-house keeper had acted very improperly in allowing him so to do. ;Iles. Ilartley, however, said she was positive the prisoner was the mail; indeed, there was no doubt of it, as other witnesses, who had seen the prisoners following the coach. confirmed her evidence. Readily said it was all false, anti complained of the Magistrate's course of examination, the wirtesees bteng all in the office instead of being separately examined, which he said enabled them all to ter the same story. Mr. RAW LI xsox—But i cennot see any motive for their swear. ing falsely besides, your changing your dress looks like an inters. Lion to evade Identity. Readily—That's nothing, your IVonehip; I have not had fair play. In a cavelike this, you know in so sudden a transaction, it's impossible to swear to the man. Mr. It *Vette/sox—Yes, but can you account for being on the road and so near the coach ? Readily smiled and said, f am not to he thrown off my guard. AA' erersoe said that the evidence was perfectly conclu sive, and committed there to Neamste for trial. Beadily, as he withetrew, requested Mrs. Hartley to reconsider her testimony. It is singular what an excitemeut attends the capture of a noted thief. The avenues leading to the office were thronged with per. sons regarded " by the world's law," all anxious to heat the result of Readdy'sexatnination. An elderly woman, named Williams, residing ret No. 17, Edge. ware-road, came to this office and stated-she was walking along Oxford-street, on 11•ednesday afternoon, about six o'clock, when a very respectably dressed woman tapped her on th!e shoulder, and said, " Madam, I beg your pardon, but lam unwell, and should feel obliged if you will mind this parcel for me for a minute." She scarcely had time to answer the request before the inquirer vanished, and she remained for above an hour walking about the spot ; but the steamer never returned, anti she not knowing what to do with a parcel so strangely intrusted to her care, carried the bundle to Mr. Harris's, Hid, Oxford-street, to whom she was known, and I stating the circumstance, deposited the huddle in his care; mean kit beiujiesposted, it was found to contain Mt pieces of lace, a variety of every description of wearfing apparel, consisting of Owes, come, &e. Mr. Harris, having taken an inventory of the articles, thought it advisable to state the very odd circumstance to the Megistrate. Mr. Ciatretert advised that publicity might be given to the cir cumstance, as probably some light might be thrown upon it. THAMES OFFICT:.—Samarl flanks, a young man about 3? years of age, a mate of an ludiaman, most fashionably dressed, was put to the bar, charged with committing a rape mien a Miss Duffield, a highly respectable maiden lady, about 45 years of age, the joint proprietress of a respectable seminary tot young ladies, in the Commercial-toed. Vies Duffield, accompanied hy Miss Spencer, her partner, and another lady, entered zhe office; such was the mental anguish which seemed to oppress her, that she was quite unable to support herself. Mr. BAI.LANT 1N E humanely ordered her to be accommodated with a chair. He then requested her to compose herself, and after wards to state the circumstances of this melsocholy transaction. 'this respectable but unfortunate lady was so overcome by her feelings, that it it was with the utmost difficulty that 31r. Italian. tine was able to obtain the following particulars of this brutal oc currerce :--She stated that she has known the prisoner fur many yeats, ever since his earliest boyhood ; they are bath from the vi:- Lege of eleasingham, in Norfolk, and the closest habits of M aniere subsist between their Curettes ; ehe and Miss Spencer keeps a lady's school in the Commercial-Toed, and have done an tor several yeses past ; the prisoner, almet ten days ago, arrived from India, and immediately celled upon them . !leashed her, could they accommodate him with an apartment in their house ? They having a spare one, they agreed to do an, perfectly happy to have it in their power to oblige& person she had knoweetra lung, and for shorn she had such a high c:teem, and whose Ramer conduct to wards her was such, that she always locked uuen him more in the light of a sincere friend and beloved bendier than any thing else; she said that on Tumeley night, about ten o'clock, the prisoner re. turned home, and, after tabiag supper, he inquired where was Mies Spencer. She replied, that she was gone to spend die day at a friend's, and would not return that vig!.t. She then observed to the prisoner, that it was time to retire ; to which he assented, and she took the candle, for the purpose of lighting him up stairs, as she had been in the habit of doing; anti being apprehensive of fire, site always placed the candle upon the mantelpiece in the room, lest, through neglieence, any accident might occur. Having done so, on her prisoner good night, as usual. he seized her by the arm, and dragged lice towards the bed she became alarmed, and asked him what he meant ? He made her no answer, but threw her on the bed. When she Saw what his object was, she begged, she entreated, she made every appeal which hum ility or reason could suggest, but all in vain—he swore he would accomplish his purpose, no matter what might be the conse quences. Sire then screamed out. He instantly took the pillory, and endeavoured to cover her brad, :led aware he would smother her. The pillow, in the stniegte, having fallen on the floor, he took a part of the *twee arid put U. into. her month, which, by an t flint of her arm, she got rid of.

Mr. Beeeestmtwe said, he wee well aware how repugnant it must be to a person of her didicacy and education to state further fact than what she had alreaelwillene, but she mud be mote parti- • toles id the detail. He theme-0,7d every person out of the office. Mts.. Duffield, in the greaten distress of mind, and bursting into an agony or team, was unable to proceed, except to say, that she had Leen treated most brutally. • Mr. BALLANTINE said he ample! take Neater particulsen from a medical gentleman, and - re*ested that Slits 1). should have an interview with one ; but before she.should tin so. he begged to eels her one g estion, whether theme-mar had ever made any overtures to her in the character of an :Minder ? Mitts Duffield solemnly pretested that he never had ; and know. ing him as site dad iron his childhood, she never considered hint are other than as a brother, an-1 in the plenitude of her confidence in that character she admitted hint to lodge in her house. BAL LAN T INF. inq u ired whether there were no persons in the house during the outrage, who might have heard her cries ? Mild Duffield replied, that the kitchen was so remote that it was impossible to hear her, as she was nearly smothered, end she be lieved the' servants were out; the.c were three children in bed above stairs. The medical gentleman having been sent for, and having had an interview with Miss Duffield, his evidence was taken in private, and he side that he could net positively say that the capital offence had been perpetrated. Vet he declared that site suffered the most terutal injury he had ever witneesq. Mr. DAL LANTINE waked the• prieuner what, be could say for himself. The prisoner, with the most puppyish affixtation of sorrow, said upon his hosuntr he was sorry, very miry indeed, for what had occurred; he must have been intoxicated. Ale.

All parties were then bound over, and the prisoner was locked up until lie should procure bail. Several highly respectable gentlemen from the neighbourhood of the Commercial-road attended, and, having expressed the greatest indignation at the manner - in which the unfortunate lady had been treated, declared that females of more unblemished characters than bliss Duffield and Miss Spencer did not exist. LAmn E T 11-ST■E F. T .—Yesterday Mr. Ak.rfindnientith, a re. alienable looking middle-aged man, said to be possessed of con siderable property near Worthing, was brought up in custody of Dalton, the officer, who apprehended him, after an unwearied search, at Lambeth, and placed at the bar before Sir Daniel Wit. Hams, charged with having Illegally Intermarried with !Miss Mary (llasco:t, his first wire, Lucy Keefe, alias Smith, being then living. It appeared that Miss Dimon had on several occasions met the prisoner at a Dissenting Chapel in Lambeth-walk, and that they, mutually noticing each other's devout attention to the service, an acquaintance commenced, which soon merged into friendship, and from thence Into a wanner passion ; matters soon came to an rehircilßement, and the prisoner, 'who represented hiniAlf as a single man, was profuse in his declarations of affection and endear ing constancy. The listening fair not was at last beguiled, and she introduced him to her family ; the acTiaintance, however, did not please her r, who expressed in no equivocal terms his dis approbation or the connexion ; hut when did lathers feel ft,. • lover's pangs? Never, thought :Hiss Dlaactitt ; and perish fifial duty when the calls of a lover are to be atttaded to. After some further trial of his constancy, she determined to consult her own inclination, and, having the banns published in St. Martin's in the Fields, she there, as she then thought, had her fate indissolubly united to his. The evidence in support of the charge was to the following effect : Mr. William Craddock Dlaseott examirteil-1 tint a saddler, and live in Union -street, Lambeth-walk. I charge the masonic with having married my daughter, 3lary Wescott, he having a wife living at the same time. I produce a copy of the entry in the re. gister of marriages celebrated in the parish of Sr. Slartin's in the Fields, which I compared with the entry itself, and bad it to be in every instance correct. Tile copy wax here rend, end is fOHOWN : " Alexander Smith and Mary Ohiseott both of ibis parish, were married in this cburch by banns, on th e fourth day of May, ono thousand eight hundred and twenty-six, by me t " DAVID MOR X, elliate. " This marriage was aolemnized between us, Alexander Smith and Mary tilaseott, In the presence of " Jou x TaVr.GR and "ELIZABETH POWELL." Exsmination resumed—l was not present at this marriage, but to my knowledge the prisoner has been residitut and cohabiting with my daughter as her husband since it was celebrated. Senna time after it took i lace, I was informed that he was married before, and that his first wife was in existence, and then reaided at 11'orth. ing, in Statistic. lin consequence hastened thither, and found her at her father's house. She told me that she only was the lawful wife of the prisoner, Alenantler Smith, who was formerly Pay. maater-strgeant in the light company of the tilat regiment of foot, and at that time an officer of the Penitentiary at I have since Wel tained that he was connected witli that prison, but that he was discharged about two months 'thief. lies first wife told me that she was married to 'him in the parish of East Match. ington, in Sussex. I went to the Rector and procuted a copy of the entry, which, by compariscn, I know to be also correct, and which I now produce. " Alexander Smith, of this pariah, Sergeant of the 81st regiment of foot, and Lucy Keefe, widow, also of this parish, were married in this Church by banns, this fifth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and ten, by rye "JOHN SHARI', Curate." " This marriage was soieninizxl by tot—Alexander Smith and Lucy Keefe, in presence of, ' DAVID EVANS, and " WILLIAM BUTTON." The prisoner, in his defence, denied being discharged from the Penitentiary, and said he had voluntarily resigned his situation. Dalton, the officer, told the Magistrate that if the prisoner was remanded for another day, lie had no doubt, from the information he received, but that he would be able to prove a third marriage contracted in Scotland, of which country the prisoner is a native, against him. lie sea remanded accordingly. liwroir.rta Lt.—Yesterday a gentlemanly•looking man attended before the Sitting Magistrate, J. S. CALDW ELL, Esq. for the pur pose of making the following application. Applicat.t 'addressing the Magistrate) -I called here to apply for a warrant against my wife, who haa absconded from bet home, without any just cause. 111 r. ('ALDw EL 1. (with some surprise}-Really, Sir, you must be aware that I should not be justified in complying with your request. Had the lady cornittitted an assault upon you, then it would be a ditferent question ; but I have no more authority in compelling your wife to return, if she thinks proper to abandon her home, than I should have were the circumstances of the case reversed, and she had made a similar application with respect to you. Applicant was s;i11 doubtful on the point, and said, " With sub mission to your ‘Virrship, I am of opraion that the law would jus tify )ou in issuing a warrant for the apprehension of a woman that I strongly suspect is running me in debt with various tradesmen, all of which debts will come down plump upon me by-and-by." The Magistrate said that the applicant appeared to have formed a very erroneous notion of the law of tic: case. If he (the (leen dint) wanted to have his wife rearmed, the best method for him to proceed upon would be, to ascertain her present abode, and en deavour, by conciliating measures, to prevail on her to return home. Applicant—All I want, Sir, is, to recover poesession of ivy wife, as I kgens ihwill we do only means of keeping me ont of prison, and, in the end, of saving her from Destruction—perhaps drowning or hanging. The Magistrate asked him whether he was aware what part of the town his wife Was row residing in 7—He replied in the nega tive, and. assuming a doleful tone, said that lie was fearful he should soon knew to his cost, when the tradesmen's bills began to pour in upon him. The Magistrate said that he lamented he could be of no assist ance to him, but he would recoirmerd him, if his wife was an ex_ traeagant woman, and that he was fearful she would run him into debt, to pat an advertisement in the imwsinmers, warning those whom it may concern nut to give her credit. That expedient would operate, in all probability, prevent the consequences that he so much readed. The gentleman then retired. thanking the Magistrate for Ms ad. vice, although his application, lie intimated, did not meet with the success that he at first anticipated. A young man named Meirgf, in the service of Mr. Gordon, M Denmark-hill, Camberwell, was charged with stealing a desk, con. twining money and various documents of importance, the property of his master. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner had been but a short time in Mr. Gardnn's stmt.% and had resigned his place be. cause he refused to Rear livery. During the short period he was on trial, he observed that his master was in the habit of placing money in tbe desk in question. 'Subsequent to his having quitted the situ• cation, he called at Mr. Gordon's house, on the pretence of seeing one of the servants, and availed himself of an opportunity of entering the apartment where the desk was placed, which he contrived to carry out of the premises unobserved. Soon after the robbery was effected the &sic WAS missed, and a constable having been procured. the prisoner was taken into custody. and the tn,w•ers which he wore were stained all over with ink, which was ascertained to have b , en caused by the awkward manner in which lie carried off the desk, the ink-stand within it having been upset, and the contents daubing his pantaloons as rt' ”ve described. The evidence being conclusive against the prisoner, he was fully com mitted for trial. CO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. your pap , r of this day is reported a case which, I re gret to say. is weenie!, incorrect in nearly every particular. As the party complaining, and therefore the party most egg. irved, I beg to submit the following corrections for inserth.n in your next publication : —The person against whom I obtained a " peace warrant" is named George Maddirk, and not, as reported," Henry My name is spelt (and well known) Jeffreys, and nal " Jefferies." I did not mention the name of any other paper than the Englial Gentlenurn. The person who so very improperly and unnecessarily interrupted the proceedings of the _police-office is named (and is likewise well known as) 3latthew Wasbrough, stead of " Mr. Vasburgh." Again, it was not on Saturday, but on Monday, that I said the defendant had, "fur a second time, most grossly insulted me, by threatening me with personal violence, in consequence of my hitting approached a box appropriated to the use of the Engler Gentkopta news:taper, in the back office.' However, my principal object in this communication is, to defend .my name and character front the vile and insiduvus aspersions of the person named Wasbrough, who, as 1 have before shawl, "so very improperly and unnecessarily Mterropted" the businem tbe -public, by interfering in a ease with wluch lie was in no-wise concerned. That person is said to have " interrupted" rne, by saying, " You're a discharged servant—you were discharged for very good reasons." And the paragraph commences with, • Mr. Wasbuegh (Wasbrougto, the proprietor." Now, in the first place, foe the sake of my name and reputation, the only two things on *MO I depend for the good-a ill and support of the public, 1 beg most ea:tenuity to assert, that the man alto has taken upon himself to dischargeme froth the service of the Englidt Gentleman news paper cannot adduce a single cause for such proceeding Moe do I wish M occupy your pages with the real cause). Secondly, the person styling himself proprietor or the " English Grutlentan" is enly a small-part proprietor. I canrot but regret that this commu nication should hare extended to so great a length; but if you will only call to mind what is said by SINAICSPEARE, on the inestima ble value of a " good name," I feel certain list )ou will do me the favour of inserting this in the next impression of your Journal. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, 14, York -street, Covent-garden, W. JEFFREYS. Thursday, Oct. 12, 1826. Some doubts having arisen on the qualiAntion 9f jurora, under the Tate Act, application has burn made to Mr. Peel on that p.itiject, and the rolliming answer has been received by the Magistrate who addressed him : . " Whitehall, Sept. 28, 11120. " Sir,—l am directed by 11r. Secretary Peel to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the tth instant. The clause of the Jury Act to which you refer was not introduced by Mr. Peel, but by an other Member, whose Intention in introducing it was expressed in the circular letttr of the 10th of August last, to which you adverted ; and though the words ore certainly equivocal, f apprehend that the meaning may bo aufliciently collected from the context—tot if a juror were in be qualified by being rated to the poor'.-rate at 201. a year, on any property whatever, it would be absurd to require an assessment to the house duty, which applies to the house only tot the sane value . Mr. Peel is aware that this construction has not been universally acquiesced in, .and he intend s in th e ne xt Session to introduce a Dill for amend ing the defect in the Act, and any Qtber which may in the mom tithe be discovered.
