To prove that the de. thmilant took an active part in the cutrage, the two officers would bo mffall, and he underst o od that one of them could positively identify doodefendiuit as having torsisted in the attack and subsequent rescue. He understood the defendaut intended to contest the fact, and meet the evidence of Cheatham by on attempt to establish an alibi. If he had justice on his side, no men was more desirous of his success than himself, but he must say, front nil that he had been able to collect, the evidence was of too conclusive a nature to admit of any refutation other than that which should carry along with at then Dietetic degree of moral and legal certainty. With regard to the{ peculiar defence up on which he understood tint! defendant to rely, he must say that there existed no species of evidence that required greater attention than that upon which alibis were usually grounded, and that no kind of defence should be ex amined with more caution, or received with a greater degree of suspicion. It usually happened, however, that those de. fences, when insincere, carried their own refutation along with then ; for it was a matter of no unfrequent occurrence that they ilrfetted their own object by an over-anxiety to accomplish it. An inthindual who had been really engaged in his lawful calling or a- Pupation might, and generally did, find considerable difficulty in establishing an alibi if accused of the commission of a crime. This' was perhaps the reason why this trees of nefence fell to the lot of the experienced offender, and was seldom adopted bo the innocent, •or at least in a mach less degree than might be incodsiderately sup.. posed upon the first view of the cue. It was easy enough to imagine au alibi, but hard to make one out in a satisfactory manner. An honest individual might very readily encounter great difficulty in bringing any one to prove where he was on a particular day s. nay, a man who had not turned his attention to such matters might not be at once able to say himself where lie was on a given time and in whit octupation lie was then engaged. lint the practised offender bad to struggle with none of those difficulties, - and were it not for the circumstance of his over-scrupulousness, and a ceetain suspicious accuracy of proof, always an invariable attendant upon artificial alibie, he might more frequently escape. He mom prepared with minutia of which an honest man would hare never dreamed, or at least never have noted ; and in that manner frequently convicted himself in the apprehensions of eu thlrkint men. How far the Jury would feel inclined to credit the defendant's representations, if they partook of this cbaracter, it was not for hint to say ; hut he entreated them to loot narrowly Into the circuntstancosot the con., and examine that manner of the wimeges, to weigh the probability of the tuts, and, in a word, to make use of all those necessary precautions so requi. site, is order to enable them to come to a satisfactory conclusion. If they should be disposed to entertain any .doubts on the case ha would now submit to their consideration, or if they thought the identity of the defendant, or the nut he was alleged to have acted in those transanions not sufficiently established, let them give the defendant the benefit of their doubts ; bat if it were otherwise, then let the Joey recollect the duty they owed to their country and them. selves, and, by their verdict, take the best means of discnuntenanc. mg and preventing the illegal proceedings that had given rise to the present action. John Cheatham sworn and examined.—lle was coast-guard at Southampton on the 113th January ; was called out at one o'clock in the morning of that day on duty. He was accompanied by Clarke. They proceeded nbout two miles on the Bewley road inland in the direction of the forest, and concealed themselves us a bush, where they remained for a short time on the watch for smugglers ; this was in a lane off the road. They hail not remained very long when, as near as he could conjecture about three o'clock, they observed a man coming towards dun; in the direction of Bew. ley, mounted on a pony. The man looked about him in a stoma twos manner; he could see that, for it was a fine clear night, though not moonlight. In about five minutes afterwards they heird carts coming, and pulled off their coats in order that they might be ready to meet them. Directly they saw three carts, laden with small casks, coming along the lane. The casks were capable of coutaining about three gallons and a half each. Ten or fifteen parsons accompanied the carts. Witness and his comrade stopped the first that came up, and backed it into the ditch. They then passed by the second cart ant'. proceeded to the third, which they also backed into the ditch in the same manner as the first. The rood was of such a width the two carts could pass, but it would be with some difficulty. The men made off, and he and Clarke got the two carts out of the ditch, the men succeeding in car athg off' the third. There were two horsey to each can.— Witness rook one and Clarke the other, and they were proceeding towards Forley, when having gotten about a mile from the place where they had taken the carts, near a r.atrow lane, he heard Clarke, who was behind, calling out for help. Imm ediately he stopped the cart he was driving, and went back innards Clarke. Oa snit ing at the spot, he found Clarke surrounded by a number of men who were braining him, and witness called out to them to let him go. lie had his pistols and cutlass, and with the latter suc ceeded in driving one of the assailants away ; but he was seized in turn himself, he could not tell by whom, a man having taught him behind and pinioned his arms ; others of the party took his pistols and cutlass,. and threw them over the hedge. 1 hey kept him in that situation until the carts were taken swig. Meantime witness rived one blow on his head and another oo his hand. Wolfe WWI one of the party, and drove away a cart himself ; he was sure of it, because he knew Wolfe, who was a pointer residing at Munich. to Forley parish. The smugglers offered witness a bribe, several men holding him at the time. They first offered to give him fire, and afterwards ten pounds ' which he refused. When they found him persist, they took his hat off his head, and put notes into it, which he returned. At the same time they were holding Clarke, and offering him money also, and finding him persist in refusing to Expt it, they forced the money into his neckcloth. One of the tem who was bblding the carte, called out to the others, and de sired theta to delve away the carts. They then took his hat away, and carried it up the mad andJeft him. He afterwards gut his hat and found five U. notes inside it. Next day he discovered a tub on the road, and took it to Southampton with him. Cross-examined.—Hsu been Ir the service of the revenue five years. Went to Mr. Carter after this business. Mr Carter is prim:ape, boatman. He never tool; money. Clarke was about ten yards distant from him during the conversation with Mr. Carter. .Mr. Carter was at that time living at the house of Peter West brook, a sailor, and was in bed whrn witness called, it being about five o'clock in the morning. Witness told him how he had been abused, and coun•ed the notes in his presence. He had commu. r.icated something of the matter to W ertbrook, but not all, only mentioning it ofightly to him ; bat he might have beard hint talk to his companion. Westbrook's brother. William, may have been present, but he did not observe him. William and Peter West. brook both live at Forley, and Wolfe lives in the same parish, lie, witness, did not mention to his companions that he had aeon Wolfe on the night of the 18th 'January, because it would not have been advisable to mention it in that plate. Wolfe continued in the plate a month after the !nth of January, and witness saw him often, both in public-houses and in the streets. IVitness never said the men with the carts were all stout men, and not one shorter than White who kept the inn, nor any thing to that effect. AVlien he went to call on Mr. Carter, Westbrook opened the door for hint. Ile does not recollect Carter asking him in the presence of West. brook why he did not fire his pistols, and assigning as a reason for no: doing so that they were all stout men who attacked him. Wit ness told Mr. Carter he knew one of the men, and told trim his name in the course of the day., but does not know whether he did on the first occasion. He can't tell hoir long it was before the man surrendered: thinks it was in April, that was two or three months after the 18th January; but he did not give himself up till the war. rant for his apprehension hod been issued. Witness had sometimes drank with Wolfe since the affair. lie had frequently taken drink with him since that tame. Re-examine4.-1i gnus did not mention the name of Wolf.: in the presence of IVestbrasok, because the latter was not one of his Majesty's subjects--(A laugh.)—he meant to say, one of his Majesty's officers. No did not apprehend AVolfe when he met him in public•housss, hiving been directed to keep the matter a secret. Witncts swears he mentioned Wolfe's name to his inspector, Mr. Wading, at the house of the latter, on the day after ine amen: John Clarke, another revenue-officer, corroborated the evidence of the list witless. - Capon-. Watling.—Cheatham and Clarke, on the 19th January, • communicated to him the affair of the preceding night, and mire up the fire one-pound notes to him, which were Bir.gwood s notes. Witnes made out and despatched its report of the circumstance on the nOth January, the day after he had seen Cheatham and Clarke. The case for the prosecution being closed— Alf. C. F. Wrttsosts proceeded to address the jury for the de. • fence. He felt it incumbent on him to express his gratitude to his lamed friend for the candid mauner in which he had opened the as.., nod entreated the jury to dismiss all prejudice from their - minds in its consideration. With tegaeal to the men, be they who • • they might that committed the rescue, they bad used a surprising degree at calm fotburance in their manner of dealing with the off. cars. True, they appeared resolved to carry off the casks ; irut, with arms in their hands, they had abstained from all violence towards the persons who were so completely in their power. lie had no wish to extenwate the offence committed by them in defrauding the • ;avenue ; he only meant to point out their forbearance, as it re. • garded the treatment of the officers, which he thought deserving of • .commendation, as It afforded a strong contrast to the conduct gene. -*entity pursued under similar egg:mum:cm. With regard to the iden., • ity of the defendant, and his connexion with the occurrences of the 18:h January, he felt little doubt of being able to convince the n __tity that the Minna, for the prosecution were completely mistaken. was aware one of the witnesses had sworn positively to the • perton of the defendant but the Jury would consider whether a •• man circumstanced as that witness bad been, was nonnory likely to • •comailt a mistake of the kind he had mentioned. Bits independent •al that, he trusted to be able to lay before them such evidences& •• would convince them the defendant was not one of the persons con. corned In the rescue. There was great improbability in the story told by Cheatham ,• and his reason for concealing his knowled_ge of lee port lie stated' Wolfe to have taken in the rescue from V. • brook and others, was imperfectly explained, to say the lewd of ft. ' %fie would prove to the Jury the witness for the Crown bade • Utted he dot OM know any of the reruns engaged in the affair; ' • siso, that they were stout and tall in vermin. In addition to all this, the defendant had voluntarily surrendered himself on the first ' , intimation of the present charge, and that circumstance should ''weigh strongly in the minds of the Jury, as another proof of his •-• • innocence.

They said they had fallen in with three carts, and mare ' sensed the men who were with them as all tall, stout men. They said they were as stout as White, the inn-keeper, who is a tall and very stout man. Witness asked them if they knew any of the melt, and both Clarke and Cheatham said prat. Wolfe is a small man; he has always borne an excellent character. Crane-examined..—Witness knows Wolfe these many years: is positive Cheatham and Clarke both said the men were stout. Wm. Mortis sworn—ls gamekeeper to Mr. Drummond, and was so in January last; wax out on duty on the !Gib of that month, and heard carts passing; in each cart were two men, and one walking behind ; the carts were heavily leden ; knows %Voile these several years ; lie is an honest, industrious person. Mr. Powell examined—llas known Wolfe seven or eight years; was watching a horse on the 18th Janastiy, and met three carts about six o'clock, on Bewley 31anor ; the carts wc-e utak drawn by three horses, and were loaded but witness did not know with what. There were men with the calls ; Wolte was not among them ; it was dark, but must have known Wolfe had he been there; there were only four men with the carts. George Woods proved that the defendant worked withlhim on the I;th and 111th January, and remained with witness till ten o'clock at night on the 18th, in company with another man named Ilawkesworth. Jittnesllawkesworth corroborated the statements of the last wit ness, and said, after parting trout %Vocal, s itness and %Volta weut home together to Wolfe's mother's. Mrs. F. Wolfe said her sun, the defendant, slept at home on the 18th January.. . . . . Mr. John Barney gave the defendant 3 good character. Mr. Sergeant t ',DE replied. Mr. Jos:ice LITT I.EDALE charged the JJ•v, who immediately returned a veriliet of A vs Guilty. OXFORD CIRMIT. Ozronh, WrnxEsDAT.. These Asaires commenced this day before !Ir. Justice Bun stout's, on the Crown Side. and Mr. Baron °ARROW, at Nisi Prius. There were nine civil causes entered foe trial, and the ca lendar contained the names of 20 prisoners. CIVIL SIDE. Before Mr. Baron GrAatow. roartk w JUI3.• This was an action for money lent by the plaintiff to the de. fendanr. The loan of the malty and the rromise to repay it were proved by a person of considerable provincial celebrity as a man of the fancy. who was called `. Black Will," from the colour of his com plexion, and of his enormous whiskers, this gentleman stating that he was In the shop of the plaintiff, who was a barber, and to which he went to have his whiskers trimmed, at the time of that conversation. In his cross-examination by Mr. JEnvzs, Black Will rated that he never knew that the money was lent for the purpose of backing the Cheltenham Champion against the Chelsea snob, nor had he ever heard of inch a match being made; he also stated that he Ilid not stake money on fights, he was not rich enough, but he admitted that he sometimes sported a pound or two. JLIIVIi admitted that he could not answer the plaintiffs cue. Mr. Baron GAIIIIOW then directed a verdict for the plaintiff. CROWN SIDE. Before Mr. Justice Flunaoron. Jaws Mills won charged with stealing a tea-pot, the property of John Brotherton. The prosecutor proved that he missed the tea-pot from a scullery, and found it again at Mr. Bayes's, of Banbury. John Bayes proved that on the day after the robbery, the pri. loner sold him the tcaltot, the witness being a broker. The pri soner said he had sonic things to sell, and the witness asked no questions. The prisoner said he hal bought the tea-rot of a man he met on the Banbury-road. Verdict, Guilty. There was another indictment against the prisoner, for stealing • tea-kettle. Mr. Justice Bunaornst observed, that on this other indict ment he must be either tried or an acquittal taken, by the prose cutor's calling no witnesses ; for, by a recent statute, though a per. son had been sentenced, and received the benefit of clergy, he might still be indicted for any previous offence at any time after. wards ; so that the benefit of clergy was now of very little use to a man. The prisoner was then tried and convicted on the second indict. ment. TIIVESDAY. CIVIL SIDE. -- • Before 31r. Damn GAIROW. WILKINS Y. WELLS. ,Mr. WRIGHT opened the pleadinga. Mr. Cultwoop stated that the plaintiff was the butler at Mag. dalen College, and the defendant a hatter, carrying on business in the city of Oxford, and that this action was brought to recover a sum of twenty pounds, which had been advanced by the plaintiff to the defendant. In the year 1823, the plaintiff, who had tine sons, had formed a plan of placing ore of them as an apprentice to the defendant, and they had arranged that the lad should go on liking for some time, and if it was found that he and his intended master suited each other, he was to be bound as an apprentice with • premium of sixty pounds. Atter he had been for some months on his probation, the defendant requested the plaintiff to lend him his draft on a house in London for 201., which the plaintiff accord. ingly did. The proceeds of that draft were the subject of the pre. sent action ; for soon slur that, instead of the indentures of appren. t whip being executed, the defendant sent the lad away, and cold he did not suit him. This the lad's father was much aggrieved at, and asked tor the 201., but this the defendant insisted on keeping for the board and lodging of the plaintiff's lon fur thr time he was aid' him on liking. This claiin, the learned gentleman said, he was sure the jury would not sanction. Mrs. Morris stated that she carried on the business of a confee tioner in Oxford, and that the defendant told her that he had re. ceived 20/. on account of the plaintifl's son, but that he had sent ham away because he did nut suit hint. Henry Wilkins said, I am the son of the plaintiff; who is the butler of hlagdalen College; I was to hare been apprenticed to the defendant, but was not in fact ever bound ; I went on liking; I staid a-year and a quarter; I served him In his business, and then he turned me away ; my father sen t me b ac k , b ut the de-, fendant said I should not come any more. Cross-examined by Mr. JE6VIS-4 don't know that I was to have been bound for seven years ; I went on liking for a month, but I never knew or heard that my father could not conveniently , raise the money for the premium ; I was then about 13 years of age I was lodged and boarded for a year and a quarter in the de- 1 fentlant's house. 11.1 r. JERVIS, for the defendant, contended that his client had a fair right to retain the 201.; for that he hoarded and lodged the plaintiff's son for a year and a quarter, and that was at a time when his services could have been of little or no value. Al'. Baron °ARNOW observed, that this was a most momentous question for the rising generation, ifs defence like the present was allowed to prevail. Here was a man with several children wishing to find one of them a proper master to teach him a trade; and to as certain whether the habits of the lad and those of his intended maa ter suited each ether, he was put upon what is called •• liking," and the lad continued for sonic time without a final arrangement being come to, and then it was that the plaintiff; in the expectation that he should soon have to pay the defendant 601., advanced him 2W., and after that the defendant is to be allowed to say that the lad does not suit him, but he will keep the 2W. for his board and lodg ing. Now upon what calcul a ti on did he claim this? His Lordship. had heard persons in the university say, that it was better to be a college cook than a :Haste, of Arta ; but he doubted whether this college butler(great as the emolument of his office might be), liar. lag a family of children, would a„„t-ree to Ore 201. for a year and a quarter's board and lodging f o r • - boy of 13. Indeed the doubt was whether as he turned him away in the manner that lie did, the lad's father was not en.i:led to a compensation for his services ; but it was his Lordship's decided opinion, that the defence had not the slightest foundation in point of law. Verdict for the pla:atif—Dantages 201. REX v. - EVANS, ESQ. This was an indictoent preferred against the defendant, &Mattis tries of the county of Oxford, ter an assault. On the suggestfon of Mr. Tirirrox; who conducted the pro secution, the case ir:s referred to Mr. Sergeant Pcake, who was to hate authority to order what should be done between the parties. LATIMER v. - RATSON, ESQ. LATE SHERIFF OF OXFORD. SHIRE. Mr. TAUS Tom stated, that this action was nominally brought against the respectable gentleman whose natne appeared as de. tendant an the cause, but was really brought to try whether an exe cution was duly levied on behalf of Mr. Mute, who had in fact in. demnified the sheriff for what he had done. In the course of the year lill9 Mr. Charles Richardson bad recovered a judgment for WllOl. against hia (hate the Duke of Marlborough. It was no secret any where, much less in the county of Oxford, that his Orace was In much pecuniary embarrassment. About three years after this Mr. Richardson stied out an execution on that judgment, and the 2> herifithen levied on the goods of the Noble Duke, and seized the household furniture, the wines, and whet was most important his tineeollection of exotic plants, which he had brought together at great act, with very great taste, and which he cultivated not only by the hands of his servants, but, as they had all heard, by his own manual labeur. These had been all assigned by the Sheriff to Mr. Richardson, and Mr. Latimer, th e pl a i nti f . l lowevcr it was after ' wards arranged that the former should sell the latter the pictures and busts at 7U01.. and the exotics at 72u/. Of these Isle. Latimer toak possession, and also kept a man named Wilson in possession of the other effects. N ow i t wou ld appear that three months after ' this, Mr. Neste, who was also a creditor of the Noble Duke, sued oat another execution, and levied on this property as if it had been' the Duke's. Now, if the case stood as he was instructed, they would be satisfied that the property was not the Noble Duke's, but the pliontiff?r,; however, the detandant had to contend that it all ' bekrgcd still to the Duke. The judgment and execution at the suit of Mr. Richardson were then put in. :ohn Berrirnan, is Sheriff's officer, proved that he levied on the property in question to satisfy that judgment, and that he placed ■ person in poaseasson. In his cross•examthstion he stated that he had discovered some eencealed cellars, and had there found fo ur or fi ve h un d re d d osen Y rench wine ; and that the Duke's house-steward had the keys of the wine-cellars, as well these as abets, and the man to possession had no keys of anything. There were severel witnesses called, and the defence was, that Mr. Lau hner's property In the edicts was merely colourable, and that they still belonged to the Duke of Marlborough. The details or the ease did not possess the slightest inmost. _ - LAW INTRI.LIGENTE, --....,- COURT OF CHANCERY, YESTERDAY. His LOIDINTP felt extremely sorry to have been obliged to have left the Court yesterday so early, but he really was so ex hausted with the heat as to have been almost unable to walk (ruin the Bench into his room. IlonwE said, not only did the bar feel it very oppressive here in the course of the day, but when they went to the Rolls last •night, almost every Counsel in attendance had, one after the other, to go out, to save themselves from fainting. Sir Thomas I'lumer .converted that Court into a dwelling-house as well as continuing it a Court, and if it were to be permitted to remain so, the whole bar would be killed. ATTOIIVI:V.GEREINAL V. SKINNIEIIe COWPANT. His L 01113.111 r raid he had been looking into the papers in this matter, and found he had not been supplied with the letters patent. 4 copy of which be was under the necessity of calling for ; and if he were furnished with the copy in the course of the day, the par ties might depend upon hesring Judgment to-morrow. GORDON G. GORDON. His Lottosnie had again moot carefully read the papers in this, to him, most painful case. His Lordship did not know how it happened, that a petition in the cause had not been signed by him; but he was willing to admit it must have been from some mistake of bit non. No objection, however, on the part of the defendant could be valid with respect to that circumstance, because the Court had treated it as if it had been regularly signed; and the Court was, and continued to be, most clearly of opinion. that there ought not to hes new trial; nor ought the cause to be reheard, on the ground of the newly discovered document (a registry of the marriage of the parents of the plaintilland defendant) on the part of the defendant, because, so far front that dccument further ing his cave, it seemed to give a perfect contradiction to the whole grounds on which the defendant's case proceeded. This view of the case might be taken by the Court owing to its incapacity more correctly to view it ; but still it was the only view the Court could take, and it could only act upon its own view in every case. Upon the whole, his Lordship felt quite confident there was no ground for altering the decisions that have been made in the case. If the of the case was taken to the House of Lords, his Lord ship could not think but it would be most properly taken there ; and if it were, he would da his utmost to .get the House to bear it at a very early period ; ye consideriniw the relation its which the pluintiff and defendant stand, that they are brothers, whether it would me! be better for them at once to compromise it,. was for them to consider; were he (his Lordship) in their situation, his most anxious desire would be to compromise it. Mr. HEALD said the cause came on now upon further directions; and on the part of the plaintiff (Mr. Harry (Jordon) it was his duty to pray the usual directions. He should only pray them in point of form, and for the purpose of winding up the matter as far as was in the plaintiff's power, for as to any pecuniary view, that was out of the question ; if the other side chose to carry the case to the House of herds, tey might do that as soon as they pleased, it was not in the power of the plaintiff to prevent it. The Muster's report having been confirmed, all lie had to pray was, &decree that the motley, found due from the defendant to the plaintiff, should be paid into Court, and nothing else. There is no time for paying in the money mentioned in such a decree, but when it is necessary a short application is subsequently made to enforce that decree by a certain day ; now if the case were permitted to rest where it now was, by the defendant, in all probability no application to enforce the payment would ever be made, but it was necessary, in point of form, that the decree should row be ordered to be drawn up. Mr. lionNE, on the part of the defendant, considered it impos sible to resist what Mr. fleshd now prayed. His !autumn p was of the same opinion, and therefore desired the decree to be drawn up. Mr. HEALS, further said, for the purpose of showing what his client's feelings were, whatever the Court would have done on au application being made to it, yet he advisedly made no application for costs as against the defendant. Mr. 11011 XE most sensibly fhlt the weight of this forbearance. His Loa DBl4l Ooti's sake, Me. Horne, do try to com promise this case. It really is A case that ought to be compro mined. Jr.ll HORWE.--I can assure your Lordship, no effort shall be wanting on my part. Kwtottr (with M. Horne) and justice to myself requires me to state that no eflint on my part has been wanting. 111 r. HEALD—And 1 ant sure, not only for my client's sake but for my own, I have striven pretty hard for it. His LoaDSIIIP said, he meant to suggest to the bar whether it would not be better for the Court not to sit before eleven o'clock in the irdrning. If this were to be adopted during the remainder of the sittings, it would give his Lordship an opportunity of reading papers for an hour or two more than he can devote at present, and which he thought would be very useful; it would greatly facilitate his giving some judgonepts now standing over. VICE-CHANCELLOR COURT, YESTERDAY. TOASTER AND OTHERS v. BURREIT. AND OTHERS. This case, already well known, came on for further directions on the subject of costs. His Hotionts referred it to the Master to Talue the personal estate, directing the costs to be paid upon it. COURT OF RINGS BENCH, YierrtinAy. Sittings at Guildhall bsjibre the I,onts CIIIET JUSTICE and Consmon Juries. woeockt V. PHILLIPS. This action was on a boil of exchange for 251., drawn by the de fendant on a person of the name of Marshal, and endorsed to the plaintiff, who is a coal merchant. The defendant is a sheriff's officer, residing in Chancery-lane. The plaintiff had discounted the bill for the defendant, and the defence was, that he hail taken usurious discount, namely five shillings, instead of half-a•crown. The only witness to prove this was a Jew, of the name of Phillips, who swore positively to the plaintiff haring taken five shillings. 111 r. Samuel Pococke, the plaintiff's son, who had paid the money, was called to contradict this witness. The Lone CHIEF JUSTICE said to the Jury, the only question is, which of these witnesses you believe. The testimony of Pococke is nit the less entitled to credit, because lie has given it less posi tively than the other witness Phillips. If you believe Pococke you will tint for the plaintiff: The Jury immediately found for the plaintiff—Damages 251. 2s. W.

Mr. Buono:max.—The Northern Circuit, my Lord, is seven The Loup Cuts's' ittsTmE.—lle assured that I have tonal.' tiered that, but the presse.e of business leaves me no alternative. The Jury were now leaving the box, when 111 r. Consmg requested that they tnight stop a few minutes longer, as he had a proposition to make concerning the ease of Buckingham v. Bankes, and was only waiting for a person whose presence might put an end to the cause, and who was expected every minute. Tit Lonn C/T/EF JUSTICE—By all means, Mr. Gurney. After waiting about a quarter of an hour, Mr. Ora:stir rose to say, that he hod been disappointed by the person he hail expected not coming, and that he could not any longer trespass on the time of the Court. POLICE. STOCK EXCHANGE. MANSION-HOUSE —Yeit-rday the gentleman against whom the charge was brought the day before of having sold a letter al. hitting shares fora leg in the Alley, appeared at the Justice-room. accompanied by Mr. &cram, his solicitor, for the purpose of yin ' dicating his character from the reproach cast upon it by the account given of the occurrence in some of the daily papers. Ills accuser attended at his desire to establish or retract the accusation. Mr. Gregson, who held in his hand the ne ws p a p er o f y ester d ay, stated that his client was shocked at reading the report of a coin. plaint made before his char:trig him with haying been, accessary to a robbery. 7ba, transaction alluded to had been as unexceptionable as any that had ever taken place. The boy for whom the letter had been sold was in the habit of going to the Alley 'upon similar business, and his client had disposed of it at the market price, as could be proved by a reference to the list of the day ; so that in no respect had there been a violation of the ' established usage, to say nothing of the integrity of the dealing. The Lotto MAYOR said, the statement that had been made the day before certainly reflected very much upon the character of the person accused, as It ch arge d hi m with dealing with a mere child, without making any.inquiry as to d‘c owner of the letter. The accuser's ;Solicitor said, the boy was a mere child ; and his client considered it most extraordinary that a titan of business should have a pecuniary transaction with a niece child. It was impossible in eubh a case not to entertain a suspicion of the honesty of the dealing. The accuser himself—What was I to conjecture when I found that the boy, upon taking th e lett er t o the Alley, got an immediate sale for it, and without being asked one wind about its owner? The Loan MAYOR-11 hether it he a practice or not, it I. a most extraordinary Way of Ong business, and I trust and believe the exposure that has taken' place will prove exttemely beneficial to the public. It is extraordinary that such a sum of money should be given to a mere boy, without saying one word about the owner of the letter. The defendant's Solicitor said, it was a very harsh and unjust way of dealing. to attempt to make his client responsible for the consequences of a system which had never been established by him, and which had been acted upon invariably by all persons who did business in the Alley. The Loan M•Yoit—Het is not chargeable with it certainly, and I see no ground fik imputing any dishonourable motives to hint,: although I certainly consider the transaction a discreditable one. I think the sooner the practice of negotiating letters is at an end the better. The accuser said he charged the gentleman with having sold this letter to a boy, without knowing or inquiring any thing about the : manner in which possessinn was obtained of it. Mr. Nobler.—Your Lordship had yesterday doubts whether this wax a felony upon the part o f t h e boy. Perhaps a counsel's opinion ought to be taken upon it. If it prove to be a felony, the law may tepee' a person who negotiates under such circumstances as an aceeasary. This would be a decisive way of putting an end to a practice which is certainly condemnable, although considered, perhaps. as a fair way of dealing by those who did business in the neighbourhood of the Stock Exchange. The boy who stole the letter was then called. Hs stated that be never had any transaction before with the &tensed, but be had with other jobbers in the Alley. 'A Gentleman here said, that the bny had often applied to him to sell letters, and lie had done so without hesitation. Many other boys were in the habit of selling in the Alley, and there was never any question asked, as it never entered the imagination of those wno procured the sale that they werc selling stolen let era. Alter some further observations from the accused in vindication of his conduct, he called upon the complainant to retract the impu tation. _ _ _ Tile complainant said he did not charge the acensed with fraud, but he must still persist in stating, that in dealing with a child, his conduct was certainly improper. The accused—The dealing was precisely such as is daily and hourly occuring in the Alley. The boy has been in the habit of selling letters in the Alley, and there are several Gentleman in this room who have sold for him. As I knew that to be the case, and never heard any one donbt his integrity, I considered that he was acting fairly, and 1 sold the letter at his request. I gave him 151. in a check. The letter was an allotment of Five Shares in the Castello Mining Company. and the premium on them on the Bth of June, the day on which I sold them, produced that sum. After having dealt so with him, your Lordship may well conceive what I telt at perceiving that I was accused of being accessary to a robbery. Time defendant did not consider this sufficient. lie repeated that he had given the full value for the letter ; that he had, in dealing ' with the boy, done no more than all those who transacted business in the alley were in the habit of doing, and that it was most unfair and uncharitable to charge him with the evils of a system over j which he had no controul. The LORD IIIASOR Bald that the explanation that had been was in his opinion quite sufficient, and nobody who had heard what had passed could for a moment suspect that there was any thing fraudulent in the conduct of the defendant, although there was a manifest impropriety in hir dealing with yu young a person without knowing that he was authorised. DA RING ROBBERY. Qt I EIN-SCll7AllE.—l'estereay a young female, named AIM Smith, underwent a P2contl examioation before D. W. GREGORIE, Esq. the sitting Magistrate, on the charge of robbing Mr. Bernard Ward of 48 sovereigns, 15 napoleons, 2 doubloons, 5 silver pieces of b francs each, and Is. in silver. It appeared, front the evidence of the prosecutor, that on the morning of Tuesday week he went to see the tire in Tothill.atreet, .Westimnater, and he there met the female at the bar, in company with another woman. Ile entered into conversation with the pri soon, rand he finally escorted her home to her residence, in Duck lane. He gave the prisoner's companion some silver to procure the necessary articles for breakfast, and whilst she was absent he threw himself on the bed, and being tired, and somewhat elevated, he went to sleep, having previously laid his gold watch and breast.piu lon the table. The prisoner at this time was in the room, but on his opening his eyes after the repose, he found himself alone in the apartment, and on examining his pockets, he discovered that the I whole of his property above enumerated was gone, and the prisoner I and her msoclate no where to be found. His watch and breast-pin were lying on the table. Mr. Go eoonte wished the prosecutor to inform him how he came to Lave such a large sum of foreign money about him, and act so imprudently in having any communisation with women of the prisoner's description. Mr. Ward said, that in April last, while in Paris, he received from the banking-house of Latitte 1340 francs, all in silver. He remained in France for two months after, and on leaving he ex changed the francs for napoleons and doubloons ; but on his reach. :ng Dieppe he again exchanged a portion of these at Taylor's Hotel, and received 24 English sovereigns. He afterwards landed at Neahagen, and subsequently arrived in London. On Monday week, the day before the robbery, be received from a banking. house, in Pall-mall East, 28 more sovereigns. Ile admitted having drank freely that day, hut was capable of walking; and between o' six and seven :dock the following morning (Tuesday) he went to I the Ore, and met the prisoner and her companion. The prisoner, on being called on for her defence, de:dal having robbed the prosecutor, but admitted accompanying him home with another woman front the fire, and he gave her (the prisoner) the money to procure the breakfast, saying that he should not get up till twelve o'clock in the day. Mr. Ward declared himself fully satisfied she was the woman that was left in the room with him, and not the one he gave the money to procure breakfast. Woodbury, the officer, said. from information he received he I apprehended the prisoner on Monday last, but could trace-none of the property. From what he ha 4 been able to learn, he sus pected that the woman who was with the prisoner had left Wrest. minster since the robbery, and bad gone to Windsor. The Magistrate, on hearing this, remanded the prisoner for fur ther examination. and granted a warrant against the other woman, and Woodbury was despatched to Windsor in pursuit of her. During the investigation the prosecutor suddenly acreamed out, and fell into an hysterical fit, from which he did not recover for some time. SCION OF NOBILITY. Moor, HAL L.—A decent looking lad, who on his apprehen. , sion, by Gill, gave as his mane army Wharton, was placed at the bar on a charge of felony, in appropriating to his own use sundry habilimanfk, and other property of his master, a Mr. Logan, translator, compiler, or composer of music (u we under stood) to the Theatre Royal, Covent-garden. Gill stated to the Magistrate that the prisoner's employer was a , ruler of the King's Renal WIWI; and therefore unable to attend ' during the vacatton either at this Office or the County Assize with. out a !Wear, and that having subsequently to the apprehension of the prisoner received back his property, he was unwilling to prose cute. (Gill added, that the prisoner now stated himself to be the son of the celebrated Lord Barrymore, unlawfully begotten of the not less celebrated Mary Ann Pearce, the soi-disout Lady Borrymore.) Vnd:r these circumstances Mr. ALr.Ew ordered the discharge of the prisoner, cautioning him as to his past, and advising him upon i his future conduct. MAD DOGS. The Borough street-keeper stated, that two instances of canine madness having very recently come under. his observation, he thought it his duty to make a report of the circumstances to th e t , ing 3lagistrate. On Wednesday, one of these dangerous animals ran up the new Dover road, crossed thehigh-street, and pursued its way through the Mint, where it was fortunately killed by a butcher. The other instance occurred yesterday, between six and seven o'clock in the evening; a dog, in the worst stage of rabidity, crossing London Bridge, ran along Blackman -street, etc. biting live or six of its species, and followed by a number of persons who happily . succeeded in keeping himnff the flags l / 4 as he approached St. Georges Church, several bricklayers' labourers, who stand there for hire, seeing him coming, ranged themselves across the mad, armed with their spades, and on his irriYal, despatched him without di ffi culty. Mr:Art:EN observing that it was a lamentable circumstance I that so many dogs should be at large in the streets, directed that the facts stateel should be forthwith communicated to the Commit. stoners of the Borough pavements. FOROFRit" _ _ Henry Peek stood charged witl;;ll;offence of forgery, in sign.. inc and endorsing a check upon the Borough bank, of Messrs. 1% eston,,. Young, and Rostock, with intent to defraud Thomas Crafter, proprietor of the Bricklayers' Arms, Kent-mad. Previously to taking the depositions of the several witnesses, ap. plication had been made to the sitting Magistrate (1.. B. Allen, Esq.) for permitsion to withdraw the charge of the capital offence, substituting one of embezzlement, and of which the prisoner had furnished sufficient evidence, by his conduct whiles in the employ of his late mt ster, Mr. Pindscni, of Kennington common. 111 r. ALLEN replied, that he felt himself called upon, however reluctantly, to proceed with the case before him. The following depositions were then taken : Thomas Crafter, of the Bricklayers' Arms, in the Kent-road, publican, being in his coffee-room between the hours of nine and ten on Tuesday evening, was sent for by his wife, who was serving in the bar ; going to I.er, she put a check into his hand, observing that prisoner, who was standing by, said he was sent by Mrs. Newsome, of No. 5, in the Paragon, for a quart of brandy and change for the check; it purported to be drawn by Thomas Clots on the Borough Bank, for IW. 4s. Gil., in favour of a Mr. Core, and was dated July 5, 1825. Witness asked prisoner if he lived is the service of Mrs. Newsome, to which he replied in the affirmative. Witness then told him to ask that lady to write her name on the back of the check, adding, that on,his return with that endorse ment lie would give him the difference in cash. Ann;hella Crafter, the wife of the preceding witness, was in the bar on the enstdisg. is question i prisoner asked her if she would oblige Mrs. Newsome with change for the check, adding that he was to take back a quart of brandy, which wits to be deducted from the amount ; she sent for her husband, who was in the coffee-room, and on his coming to the bar, heard the conversation sworn to pass between her and the prisoner ; having been absent about ten mi nutes, prisoner returned with the check, on the back of which " Mrs. Newsum," 5, Paragon," was written, and gave it to witness, who paid hint ill. 17s. 6.1. in sovereigns and silver ; he took with hint also a Met and a half of brandy and half a pint of rum, instead of the quart of brandy which he said his mistress had first ordered. Witness saw hint go away, and shortly afterwards brought bark by Treby the constable; witness gave the check to her husband. William Trcby is a constable, and was at the prosecutor's house on the night in question, when prisoner first canto in. In consequence of what was said to hint, lie went out and on his return received the change, with which he went away. Witness, at the request of Mr. Crafter, followed hint until he had passed Sirs. Newsome's house, and then took him into custody, and returned with him to the Bricklayers Arms. Prisoner said he had received the check front a young man who lived servant with Mr. Newsome, to get changed. On searching the prisoner, witness found on him W. 17s. fid. in gold and silver, and three checks upon the Borough bank, of the dates of the 7th and 14th June, and 4th of July—the two former signed Thomas Close, and the later Thomas Smith. Mary Ann Newsome resides at No. 5, in the Paragon, NewKent road. The endorsement on the hack of the check is not in her hand-writing. She had never to her knowledge seen the prisoner before. The several witnesses were then bound over to prosecute, and 'give evidence at the next Surrey Assn, on the understanding that Mr. Close, who is an auctioneer at Newington, and was this day engaged at an extensive sale at Croydon, should be also bound over. For this arrangement Sirs. Newsome, (through her son,) contended very strenuously, as she•felt extremely reluctant to be the principal witness in a case of forgery. Prisoner is 3 fine looking lad, between 15 and 16 years of age, Orders have been issued to the Police over the whole kingdom to prevent all rty processions. The opinion of, the Attorney and So' -General has been had by the Government that a sions are illegal.
