ether property, bad been staler, Search being made, a men was discovered in a jungle, ou whom were found two rupees. a stocking, a tooth-pick case, and hard by the hoz which was missing. The box had been forced open, and its contents re moved. The man thus discovered dented any knowledge or the property, and stated that he had picked up the two rupees. the stocking and tooth pick case. acLidentally. He was, however, secured and conveyed away to the Prisoner's tent, his hands being tied behind his hack. The fact of the rob bery was proved by a boy, the nephew of the Pri soner. who had conveyed a box to his house, in the neighbouring village. opened and extracted its con tenta, part of which consisted of about 480 rupees in cash. Thos the boy saw him take from the box, and wrap up into a piece of cloth : in short, the fact of the robin ry was clearly established. Failing to induce the man to divulge what he knew of the property, the Prisoner ordered him to be brought to the front of his tent, where he beat kith society with a stick, which was described as oboist the length and thickness of a common ruler; indietiug some twenty or thirty blows on his arms and shoulders. The man still persisting in his re fusal to tell where the property might be found, the Prisoner ordered him inside of his tent, where he gave him a second beating. The man then informed the Prisoner that the property was at a village, a 'short distance from the tent; but on going thither the property was not to be found. boon after this, the man informed the Prisoner that the property was at snottier place, about a coal distance, where the Prisoner ordered him to pro ceed, attended by the Prisoner's 'emote, intend ing to follow them himself ; that when about 100 yards from the tent the man fell. and soon after fainted, from weakness and the flogging he had received; that whilst in this situation the dobee of Mr. Moody began to flog the man with • large whip, whilst the Prisoner gave him several kicks ow the sides, the man all the while iu vain call ing for mercy; that the Prisoner then ordered the man to be brought hack to the tent, where he again beat the man, who died immediately alter. The next morning the Prisoner ordered his peon. cook, and bearer, to sew the body up, and throw it into the jungle. The body V 1. 1 .1 nccorilingly co vered with a cannaught. placed on a camel. suit afterwards thrown into the jungle. The Prisoner having applied after the commis sion of the robbery to two &minders. for the re covery of his property, they having witnessed the Prisoner's to verity towards the deceased, desired Dome of their pirople to keep an eye upon the party, by which means the hotly was discovered. The death and removal of the body were proved by the Prisoner's servants, who Lad been employed in carrying it into the jungle. Mr. Moody being called on for his defence, ad dressed himself to the Court and Jury as follows: " The reason why I ordered the dead body to be rolled up in the tent. and carried away upon the camel, was to prevent a riot, which I feared might take place. should the body be seen, as the whole village seemed alarmed, and were assembled near the tent. The reason of my ehastiring the man was to make him restore the property ; conse quently his death was the last thing that I could have intended; as it did in the event prevent my recovering the property. The deceased was no servant of mine. I never sow him before that day.' I did not strike himiu any vital part, but about the Pints and hack. The dtioie, my servant, beat limit in my absence very erverely, in a miniver enough to kill him, w:iich I did tint know of. On the . 2111 Of Oct , proceedings were had before the Tassuldnr at Psuiiipitt. and I desired that lie would and •t them to Mr. titian. which lie said he would do ; and on my arrival at Ludientiali and j • • g my corps, I wrote to the conunmiding officer, giving an ac count of what had happened. I did not kisser that the man was dying ; I was silting in my tent when I was told hr was dead. I immediately ordered him to he isollonnd and placed upon a chair. The blow. which I gave the deceased could not leive occasioned his death. 1 struck him io no vital part." The Jury, after deliberating for some time, re butted a verdict of—Manslaughter. THE DEBATK OF 7HE 29th LAST. [From use StaffPrdshire Adeeriiker.l The debate on the ocith ult. considering it as a departure from all preeedeut, has exhibited—we were going to say Hit Majesty's Ministers, in their true colour. Mr. Yorke said, in effect, that all ge good thins winch they had been doing. would, in the case of • Regency, be overturned—diet the Prince of Wales, though he had a rery high opinion of hiss, would cut up their system of policy, root and branch. Bat Mr. Yorke, in speaking of that part of the political community which have al ways advocated the principles of the Prince, gave them credit for any thing but wicked and un constitutionel views. Such has been the blind and blundering folly of Mr. Yorke, that he would allow no other subject of the realm to differ in opiuion from him with impunity. Ev e n such • erse lung hod coutemptible t eptiie as Uale Jones, could uut escape the foot of our annihilating champinu of Royalty. This frivolous and effeminate losblilet,' whose name would never have parsed beyond die . stelimin4 precincts of the British Forum, where journeymen snips and haberdashers' 'premieres, after they have sheet up shop, go for • bit offing— ass. by the hyper/wear'''r alarms of Mr. Yorke. occupied some comer of every nempArer in the Kingdom fur the lost ten mouths! the stupen dous fabric of the British Constitstioo i. fancied to tremble when every reptile spits its venom against its walls, let us no longer boast of its strergtb ! By exciting these skims, however, the employ. ment of Quasi( Doctors to the Mats is kept op.-- Among which we regret that circunistan , es should :. so fully bear ea oar in including—the Right Mat. the Teller of tine Ezehesner. The Rebate altogether gave rise to less argument than might have been expeciod. General Mathew called the Ministers a stet of idiots ? This was per haps more than any person out of the House, hav ing the far V the Attorney-General before his eyes, would have Ventured to have door. Whe ther it was owing to the existing eireumstanees, which gave this remark a peculiar application. we know not, but the House only indulged in a laugh on the occasion. When, however. the same Speaker said that Ministers possessed so respectability, he was called to order! This reminds us of those satirists of the fair sex, who assert that you may call a woman a fool, and impeach her morals, with kinpunity ; but if you bawd a remark tinfavour tible to her person, you would be out of order with a vengeance ! In the House of Lords, the Grenville, took fire at a remark by Lord Ilarrowhy, and, some alter cation was indulged in. The Regency. the Noble Earl said. would "set aside the King." With de ference we conceive this to be incorrect. The King is rather already set aside by those circum• stances which disable hint (rain executing the functions of his office ; ■nd a Regency supplies, nut supplants, lair authority.
