Mr. SIIADNELL said he would not have applied to prevent this ease from standing over for the affidavits required on the other side, if he had not been placed in peculiar circumstances. The appli. cation in this case had been made en affidavits by persons who knew nothing of the nrcumatamws hut from hearsay, and these affi. davits, defective as they were, had also been contradicted by four teen persons who had known the lunatic for many years. who had lived on the spot, and were some of them connected with him— some of them entirely unconnected by relationship nr otherwise— who all deposed to circumstances which rendered it very unfit to issue a commis-ion of lunacy. It had been thought proper to pre judice the mind of the public by advertisements in the newspapers, and by placards and songs handed about, with infamous pictures at the head of them, in which it had been asserted that helmet been confined for several years by his brothers and sister in a dark room, like a swine; that 1w was kept destitute of clothing, and fed on rear potatoes ; that the hair of his beard was four inches long, and his nails nine inches. The circulation of such rumours naturally raised the strongest feelings against the parties, when a commis. sion was applied for, and every method was used which the press could afford for blackening the character of his clients. Whir there existed so many counter atatements, common justice *timid have prevented them front coming as they did, and saying, give us an op. portunity of making a better case. lie did not say that the intli. vidual In question was nut of unsound mind, and totally Incapa citated from taking care of himself or his Aides ; but he was sure, adverting told. Lordship's principles in Mich eases, that his Lord ship would not think it a tic case for the use of the gnat seal, end would consider that there was no ground for thinking that the on. fortunate individual would be better treated in an hospital amongst strangers, titan among those who had known him during his whole life. So far from feeding hint with raw pommel like a swine, they had exerted the most sedulous attention in taking care of him. lie was quite satisfied from the observations of his Lordship on the first application in Lord Portsmouth's case, what would be his Lordship's principle in this case. It would not be a wholesome exercise of the authority vested in the Keeper of theGaest Seal, to allow a petition which would do injury to the unfortunate person himself. The lunatic had been actually stolen away from his bro ther's house, to be placed in an asylum. Mr. LovErT tiid the application for the petition to stand over. hod been made under the following circumstances :—A corral had been entered against the petition, and affidavits had been tiled in support of the petition, By his Lordship's order, the petition had stood in the paper 4 or 6 days ago. The affidavits had been filed in answer at nine o'clock in the evening before the day on which the petition was to come before his Lordship. Under these eiretim stances he had requested that it should stand over to this day, in order to procure affidavits in answer to these. Not a moment had been lost for this purpose, and directions had been sent by post that eery evening. Same difficulties bad occurred ; but the affidavits had that moment arrived : anti though he had intended to ask that It should stand over till Thursday or Saturday, he would proceed now if his Lordship would allow him time to look them over. Mr. Shadwell had said, that placards injurious to his clients had been handed about. Did he connect the parties to this petition with these placards. It was impossible to prevent statements from being publisaed in the papers; but he would venture to say, without knowing any thing of the facts, that the parties presenting this pe tition had nothing to do with them ; but supposing that the parties had really publisEctl these statements, could that operate against a person of unsound mind, who demanded the protection the coun. try had thrown round such persons. Supposing the motives of these parties to have been ever so improper, he would ask whether the petition war not to be regarded as the petition of the lunatic him. self. If it were said that the parties presenting this petition had circulated these rumours, lie would venture to say that they had nothing to do with them, tor he knew their respectability. But, sup posing that they were guilty in this respect, his Lordship had nothing to do with the motives of tho s e who presented the petition. With reference to the merits of the case, he would not trouble him self with it till he had read over the affidavits. The Eon° Cu ASCE t.too observed, that the public papers had given such statements (falae perhaps) that he would not delay the herring for a single moment. If the account, were true it was the most distressing case he had ever heard ; if it sere not, how those who have laid such a representation before the public were to be dealt with was not a matter which he had any concern with. Mr. Irovvrr did not object to proceeding immediately, and went on to read three eflidavits in support of the petition, by Thomas Eld, Esq. of Ashton House, in the county of Stafford; J. Garrett, surgeon and superintendent of the Staffordshire Lu natic Asylum ; and Dr. Knight, a physician to the same establish ment. In consequence of information which Mr. Hid had re ceived on the 24th of January last, he went to the Rev. Henry Delves Broughton, a Justice of the Pence. On ‘Vednesday, the kith of January. they went together to the dwelling-house of W. and Thos. Smith, at Mucklestone Wood, Staffordshire; they user the latter at the door. He denied that there were more than two brothers firing there ; they proceeded into the dwelling-house, and asked him if his brother who was out of his mind was in the house ? Thomas Smith was much agitated, and hesitated in answering the question, when :11r. Hid said he knew he was there, and would see him. Upon this Thos. Smith said he could not see him as the door was locked, and his brother was gone to market with the key in his pocket. The sister, Sarah Smith, descended at the same tittle, and on being asked to show her brother. eacutred herself for a few minutes, as she had lost her keys. On going up stairs Thomas Smith passed the door of the room where George Smith was; but Henry Delves Broughton observing an iron hasp or chain and staple upon the door, insisted on enter ing. He found the room dark, and the window bricked up; and on taking down the bricks and looking round the room, he saw heaps of filth lying so thick on the floor that he could scarce lift his foot without treading in it. There was also a great deal of straw and chaff scattered about Ile observed also an old bed with loose boards underneath, and propped up on one side by the wall, and on the other by an old door. On the bed there were two bags, an old blanket, and an old coat, all in the most filthy state. On asking where the poor creature was, Sarah Smith turned down a little of the two bags which covered him, and said here be is. George Smith the lunatic lay quite naked, with his lower extremities coiled up, his heels close to ins haunches, his beard five or six inches long, and his whole person in the moat filthy condition. There was an offensive stench in the place, and the room was disagreeable and unwholesome. The lunatic lay on a heap made up of straw, chaff, and excrement. There were no chairs nor tables in the room. There was is lire-place, but no fire, and no appearanre of any having been there for some time, al though the weather was extremely severe. George Smith appeared much emaciated, and was incapable of returning any rational an swer. Mr. Rrnughton gate directions to leave the place in the same state till he should call agala in the evening. He did so. with Mr. Garrett, the superintendent of the Lunatic Asylum, for the purpose of' removing the uofortunete persoo to that establishment ; but they &unit that the room had been cleared and the lunatic placed upon a feather bed before they had arrived. Thoinas Smith assisted them in conveying him into a chnise, anti Sarah also ap peered to consent to his removal. but 'under the imprese , m that they had legal authority foe the purpose. The sister hearing Mr. Broughton observe that George Smith had 1,5110/. for his main tenacce. told them that he had only an annuity of Mil. Mr. Garrett gurc it as his opinion that the come ...ion of the lower eateemeties of the lunatic had been caused by long confine ment, by want of exercise, and exposure to the inclemency of the weather without any covering. James Smith called at the hospital soon after George had been conveyed thither, representing himself as his brother, saying that he had been properly treated, and de mending that he should be delivered up to his natural guardians. If,. Knight deposed that on attempting to take tie lunatic by the liana at first, he attempted to s c ratch, a s if a f ra id o f violence, • Ott the 21kh he appeared more calm ; but he was decidedly a harmless In opposition to these *Sleek' William. Thomas , . and Sarah Smith deposed filet the lunatic had been afflicted once before the death of his father, bane Smith, sod twice since, with pandytic strokes, which caused the contraction of his lit:ills; that his fattier placed him before his death in the care of William Smith, with ' , articular directions not to semi him to a lunatic asylum. lie selected the room fur hint before his death. They had exerted the most unremitting assiduity in feeding and taking care of him for the fourteen years that he had resided sir them. They had spot more than the annual rum allowed for his maintmince. Sarah Smith. who is now far advanced in years, has taken up her residence at Mticklestone %rood. where William and Thomas Smith reside, mrely for the purpose of at. feuding him. Site frequently OM for the •whe 'sight with hint, an 4 had her bed-reout opposite to his, in care he should want her in the night. Ile had no: been taken into the open air for some time, as it was found t o injure him, tut he was frequently re moved from one room to another. There were in ill nine brothers and sisters • and the other memb ers of the family, wh en v i s i t i ng their ben hers, saw no cease of complaint against the treatnteut of the Individual in question. No medical man hart ever been called in till he was removed to the Asylum. when a gentleman was sent to find whether be could give . any evidence to induce the Court to remove the lunatic fr om the Asylum. The LORD CHANCELLOR, after nOrtie remarks on Me uncere. monious manlier in which newspapers were in the habit of dealing with peoph:'s char - utters in such cams aa.the present, where not a single onegetion had been proved on tbe 'affidavit, observed, that the question would now b e merely whether it were proper that the lunatic should be continued under the custody of his brothers, or be put under better tare. tinanwELL sail his clients hall no wish to keep him. The iscolD cHANCXLLOR then remarked that it would come at last to nothing, r hut a question of code. No epplicstion could be made but for a commission. That was en object which there were Just grounds for their obtaining, no doittit ; but it was ( - minify clear that there were Some cases in which the parental care of his Ma jesty was unnoressory, and where the throwing of another sort of care around a lunatic ditilvent iron] that to which be had been ac customed, would make hint more unhappy than in his present cit. THE BRITISH. PRESS. eumstances. It was fit to remember the recommendation of the father not to place hint in a lunatic asylum. A great part of the imputations thrown upon the brothers, likilirebrands, were not made out. It would be a question whe•her it would be more for the benefit of the lunatic that a commission should be issued. or that some other care should be appoiuted. without putting the estate to the expense of a commission. But another question would then arise about the costs of op;•naing the commission by a caveat. The object of the Court was to save the expense of a com mission. and yet put the lunatic in the same state as tic would be if a commission were issued.

This wee em action brought by the plaintitt. who had been for away a lieutenant In the navy, against the defendant, who had married his sister, to recover the sum of 3001., being the amount of a Promissory note, payable at sight, alleged to have been dr...wn by Alrs. Price previous to her coverture. Alr. CAMPIIELL opened the cue shortly for the plaintiff, and them called one of his brothers, who swore that the signature to the promissory note in question was in the handwriting of Mrs. Price. 'this witness, on cross-examination by Mr. Janwis, said that his brother. the plaintiff, had beet► formerly a lieutenant in his Alajesty'smavy, but had lost his commission. lle was in diffi culties at the time the note in question bore date, which was as far bark as the year 1819; and the witness did not know whether thrive difficulties were over now or not. This was the plaintiff's cane. Mr../wavis addressed the Jury then for the defendant, and said that the present case was one of a very serious and affecting description. The defence he bad was one which Mr. Price felt bound to set up, whatever his feelings might suffer, and it was, plainly. that the note in question had been forged by the plaintiff. The plaintiff, however, was not now trying for the capital crime with which the Learned Counsel was instructed to charge him, nor was 4 probable that he would be tried for it. But it was necessary to justice upon the present occasion that the defendant sheuld pub licly place before the world his defence against the present action. It wes very extraordinary, if this note was genuine, that the plain tiff, who was in emborraseed circumstances ever since lOW, when this note bore date, should never have thonglit of applying for pay. ment until the present action was brought. Whatever pecuniary ion, however, the defendant might stiffer, if this was proved to he his wife's handwriting, he would cheerfully submit to it; but the Learned Counsel would call no leas than five witnesses, who were ignorant of the facts of the OM, and •who had never yet seen the note in question ; yet those persons. he believed, would all declare that it was not the writing of Mrs. Price. The Learned Counsel then called five different witnesses, who at first declared that they did not believe the note in question was the handwriting orate defendant's wife; hut they afterwards varied so mush in their belief as to her handwriting when shown to them in other documents, that the defence set up tailed totally. 11Ir. CAstrurt.r. then replied, and, with some warmth, vindi cated his client's character from the infamous attack that had been made upon it. After the evidence was summed up, the Jury found for the Air. liaron Gann ow then said that he was the last man In ex istence who would go out of his way tor the purpose of paying a fulsome or superlative compliment to a party In any cause ; but here he thought it due to the feelings of the plaintiff. as well as to the profession of which he had been a member., to declare publicly that the defence set up was an infamous and unfounded calumny. not:nu L. vuEEwaw. This was an action tor an assault. It appeared from the opening ef Mr. C. PHILLIPS, that the plaintiff was a farmer residing at Staley in this county ; and the defendant was a respectable gentleman, and a Captain in the mi litia, residing at the same place. The plaintiff's sheep trespassed on the orchard of the defendant, and he attempted to impound them. The plaintiff tried to take them out of the orchard by force, but was opposed by the defendant, and some altercation took place ; the plaintiff applied to Captain Freeman the epithets "d —d shabby rascal," and blackguard." The assault in question was, upon that, committed. Mr. RUYSEL, for the defendant, submitted to the Jury that the aggravation hem was the cause of the assault. The"Juiy found for the plaintiff—flamages, Is. CORONERS' INQUESTS. DREADFUL ACCIDENT ♦T THE WEST INDIA DOCKS.— Yesterday an inquisition was taken at the Black Horse. High. street, Poplar, on view of the body of John Stacy, a labourer in the above clocks. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased, while at work near a pile of mahogany, incautiously placed his back against it, when it gave way, and seven of the beams, weighing nearly live tons, falling on his person, crushed him to death on the spot. The Jur y expressed their surprise that the servants of the Com pany, whose duty it was to superintend these matters, should per mit the timber to be piled up in so insecure a manner, and, with a view to prevent the recurrence of similar accidents, requested the Coroner to communicate to the Dock Secretary their opinion on the subject. Verdict—. Accidental death." DaEatir tn. A cctriENT.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Committee-room of St. Bartholomew's Hoepital, on the body of George Cherry, a labourer in the employ of Mr. Enderby, of Paul'. Wharf, Upper Thames-street. William Wheeler stated that he and the deceased were what are termed odd men, in the warehouses of Mr. Enderby, at Paul's Wharf, and on Saturday morning last they were employed in one of the upper floors. lowering, by means of a capstan, sonic tierces of pickled pork, weighing about 4 cat. each. Witness was stand ing at the loop hole, and the deceased was at the capstan. The burthen at the ram-head of the rope appeared to be going down much quicker than it ought, which induced the witness to turn his head towards the spot where the deceased stood, bnt did not see him, although he distinctly heard him groan. He celled for assist ance, slid two persons came upstairs, when the deceased was dis covered, lying quite insensible, and the blood pouring in torrents from a desperate wound in the luck part of the head. A surgeon was sent for, who recommended the deceased's immediate removal to this hospital, where he died in an hour or two after his arrival. Witness considers that the deceased's hands or feet must have slipped, and before he could get away the bar of the capstan which flies round, when unrestrained, with great velocity, must have struck him on the head, and caused his death. Here the Jury said that sonic plan should be adopted with the machines for lowering merchandize from such heights to prevent the possibility of the loss of human life. The witness said that he was quite satisfied the death of the deceased was entirely accidental, as he and witness had worked for years at the same crane (which is in perfect order), and bad lowered much heavier burthens than was being lowered at the time of the accident 31r. Camden, the surgeon, mated that the deceased was 1 rought into the hospital about eight o'clock on Saturday morning; he was put to bed, ant on examination he found a desperate wound in the back part of his head, which had fractured the scull, and produced an extreme pressure on the brain, but the membranes were not in jured. The fracture of the scull was the cause hit death, which took place about eleven o'clock, three hours alter he wan brought in. The Jury returned a seethes of Accidental death." POLICE. GUILDHALL. John Alien was charged with disturbing the peace of the lodgers at a house in Spread Esale..court, Finch.lane, where he lately rent ed apartments himself, by ringing the bills in the night time. This charge, however, soon merged into the more serious one of Scing common cheat. dare +h Parish, of pugilisti c n o t or i ety , the landlord of th e Shi p public-house, Chamberlayne's Wharf, Toolev.street, stated thr.t the prisoner came to his house shout six weeks ago, and hired a bed. On thn followiug morning he saked if he could be accommo dated there for a short time, alleging that he was embarrassed in hie pecogiary affairs, anti wished to remain snug until he could make some arrangement with hie cretlitcrs. The complainant ex. pressed his willingness to assist a ger.tleinan in trouble, upon which Allan asked him if he could not give hint a little employment in his business as a tailor, " just to keep the c el l u p on t h e w h ee l s. " Parish kind-heariadly forthwith gave him an order for a pair of trouser', and put into his hands a coat which required some repairs. The prisoner made some excuses to be permitted to take the coat out of the house, but Parish was peremptory in refusing hi s a ssent . Nevertheless, the coat was tak en swa y. &tot the complainant never saw it aftivwasfs, and when he asked Allen shout it. he used to say, " Well, you have ample security in the property contained in my box up stairs ;" which said box at last preyed to be filled with pattern books and rubbish. Since the prisoner had left that quarter there bad been above a score efepplications fur garments entrusted to him to repair or make, which he had not returned. There was a case where lie curried home a suit of clothes, received payment. and then affecting to recollect he had forgotten to press them, and making a thousand apologies, he took the s u it awa y 'aga i n, " just fir ten minutes," and it was never heard of afterward. A young man of the name of Townsend also charged the prisoner with defrauding him of two create he had entrusted to him to repair about a week before Christmas. The prisoner, In his defence, declared the coats belonging to Pa. rids and Townsend had been puilolned by a young man he aces. *locally employed, and appealed to his Maker as to the integrity of hie general conduct. Pariah requiring timer to substantiate the charge he had made, thu prisoner was remanded. Thowlis Tont ass charged with disobedience to the orders of the 31witer of the IVorkhouse of St. Dunatao's in the West, and with refusing to work. Mr. Butterworth, of Flert-street, stated the complaint. lie said the defendant hod received for two months prior to his b ing taken into the house, relief at the rate of sixteen shillings a week, his fa mily cmsisiing of a wife end five children. This. however, he complained was insufficient, and he was sent to their workhouse, where he refused to do the lAhour assigned him—picking oakum— wished to break through the rules of the place, and behaved with great insolence. The pauper admitted he had been insolent, but it was because they would got auger Win to go out and look tot work pi* ea Monday mornings instead of Fridays, which was the appointed holyday, but which he thought the worst for the purpose of seek ing employment. lie had also, he allowed, refused to work, and he did so because he heard they were farmed by the master at four shillings and four pence a-head, and he had no notion of the master being paid for his keep by his labour as well as the parish purse. At to their fare in the workheinic, it was shocking ; four day. in the week they hid next to noshing to sub sist upon ; three legs of beef boihid and divided among seventy persons, which gave each one table-,pocinfull of meat ano a quan tity of liquor. Mr. Butterworth said he often visited the workhouse and tasted the food prepared for the poor, and he believed there was no cause of complaint. Tent replied, Mr. B. only came en Sundays, when they were al. lowed a bit of roasted mutton. Mr. Althrr_lttl IVA IT H MAN uid he had nen." yet met with an instance of a parish allowing so much to one family as sixteen 'Millings a week ; but he knew the officers of St. Dunstan's we-e r markably attentive to their T.mr. Tent did not understand that it was because the master was to have the benefit of the labour of the paupers he took them at so low a rate per head. II he had not been refill:a - try, his wishes wash regard to his day's liberty might have been attended to ; but for the sake of examplete must com mit him to the House of Correction fee 21 days. As the prisoner quitted the bur he "aid I.e should be happy there, because he should be no longer under the control of 51r. Butterworth. VOW-STREET. Yesterday morning, soon after the commencement of business, a remarkably' tall and masculine-looking woman, with a face par tnking much more of the square than the oval form, - and wearing a huge bonnet very much in the shape of a coal-siottle, and an old-tashinted riding habit, made the following curious application to Sir. Ninshull Some time ago a man in good circumstances In the country, near where she herself resided, paid his addresses to her, became vio lently attached, and made a solemn promise of marriage. To this, however, his friends objected, and before a consummation of his wishes could be accomplished they took it into their heads that he was mad, and sent him to an asylum in London, where he was under the care of Dr. Willis. That gentleman refused to deflect him up to her care, as she bad requested, and the object of her application here was to obtain the assistance of the Magistrate to recover her betrothed husband. Mr. Itliwsnut.t smiled at the ncvelty of the application, and said he was afraid he could not assist her. Besides, he could not help thinking that a mad husband would be no great acquisition, and that she had much better let him remain where he was. The applicant said that If any thing was really the matter with his head, she felt convinced that it was partly produced by the violence of his passion for her, and the opposition that was otered to their union ; and if she could have him with her she was sure she should tranquillise his mind Very materially. She thought he ought to be given up to her, and that she alone had a right to have the control of him. Mr.llltarstm tr.—How do you show the right? He cannot be your property, at all events, es the marriage ceremony has not been performed. Applicant—Yes he is. He was under a solemn engagement tq marry me, and that is just the same as though the ceremony had actually taken piece. Mr. MINIMAL—I am of a different opinion. But, however, as I told you before, I have no power to interfere. It is a matter in which I have no jurisdiction at all. Appilauit—l think a note, or something under your hand, woald induce Dr. Willis to comply with my request to have the dear man delis ered up to me, and if you make any charge for your trouble I shall have no objection to satisfy you. (A loud laugh.) Mr. films:lt:Lt. again said he could give no assistance, and the applicant slowly and reluctantly withdrew. Soon after her departure a niiddle-aged man, respectably dressed, presented himself befote the bench with two large briefs under his arm, which he presented to the Magistrate, and stared that they related to certain bequeathed property, to the tenth part of which he was entitled, hut had been deprived of, and he wanted to have redress at the hands of the Magistracy of the country. Mr. .511WS11 VLL said he could not give assistance in smatter which could only be settled in a Court of law or Equity. The applicant said he conceived the Magistrate could interfere if bodily injury was sustained by any of the King's subjects, and he stood in that situation. Those who had defrauded him followed him from place to place, and annoyed him by all sorts of devices. Sometimes he was half frightened to death by horrible noises ; at another time he wag pinioned in bed and threatened with instant death, and it very commonly happened that he awoke in the middle of the night and found himself half smothered with "slush," produced by his tormentors throwing a Hood of water down his chimney. Mr. Mlssitri.l. asked him why he suffered them to form and excrete such plans for his annoyance ? The applicant said they did it while he was rake!). Mr. Ml YvIt CGL said that nothing had been stated which gave him the power to interfere, and the applicant walked away with his briefs, observing as he went out that it was necessary for the safety of Church and State that his case should be investigated, and he was determined to have redress. Several publicans were summoned by Johnson, and fined in small sums tor keeping their houses open to a later hour than allowed by the Act of Parliament. 2%IARYLEBONE OFFICE. Application was finale at this office yesterday, by the female mentioned in the Bow.street report, of a similar nature, but the worthy Magistrate declined any interference in the cave, and the applicant retire". much disapptented. 1' he next application was that of Lee Sarg% the once celebrated ventriloquist. It would appear that his grandeur and popularity have departed together ; he now sought to convince the world that he was poor and in distress, as front his being considered a man of property, the opulent were not inclined to encourage him in the exercise of his extraordinary powers ; and although he had made a circuit of every county in England, he was compelled to return with his family to London pennyless, conceiving that his bad sue cess could only be attributed to that pressure and distress which is at present felt by all. The Magistrates asked him how It was in their power to con vince the world that he was a poor man ; they thought the public might very readily believe him, If they considered the vicissitudes Morays attendant upon an actor's life, than whose there was none more subject to contingencies. Lee Sugg, in an earnest manner, urged that impressions were not easily removed from the minds of some persons, and he hoped by an affidavit, " in the pretence of Gad," to convince the public that he was indeed a poor man. He handed in the following paper, to which be wished to be sworn. " Nl'llereas Christopher Lee Sugg maketh oath that he is not worth one shilling, and that he has no pension or income of any description. neither does he belong to any club, or has even the means of providing for his family but through the channel t.f his poor abilities; but that all his applica tions have for a length of time been unsuccessful, and his necessity alone prompts him to be thus troublesome." The Magistrate declined swearing him to any such affidavit, and regretted that they could rot assist him. Lee Sugg, bowing as he retired, observed that he should be al. way, happy to attend their Worships, upon their sending to him in North.street, Manchester-square. IVORSH IP-STREET. Yesterday a respectsble.looking young man, nsmed George Hillier, was charged before Mr. OdBORNE with unlawfully pawn. ing several watches, the property of his employees, Messrs. Cozens and Son, watchmakers, Bunhill-row. The prisoner, it appeared, had been in their employ seven or eight years, and worked in the house. It was his duty to exa. mine the watches when returned from the finisher, to fit the hands, to regulate them. &c. About six weeks since, sortie suspicion arising which led to inquiry, it was ascertained that he had pawned six valuable gold and silver watches. The watches were now produced by various pawnbrokers, and identified by Alr. Cozens, tun. It appeared, however, that when the discovery was made six weeks ago, an officer was sent for, and the prisoner gave up the duplicates but Mr. Cozens, stn. being absent from London, his son refused to take far:her proceedings in his absence. The Al. gistrate viewing this as a comprondse, refused to take further cogniz.ance of the case, and discharged the prisoner; leaving his prosecutors to their remedy at the Sessions. LAMBETH-STREET. BlOAMY.—Yesterday John Weatley, a master shoemsker, re. sitting in lienrge.street, Bethrtal.greer., was placed at the bar before John Hardwick, Esq. charged with having intermarried with a young woman named Elizabeth Ann Rogers, during the life-time of his first wife. The first witness irt . ;ubstantintion of the charge was a Mr. Felstead, who stated that he resided in Lloyd's -tow, St. John's_ street-road, and was present in the year 1009 when the prisoner ins married to his sister, Elizabeth Feistead, in the parish church of St. Olive's, Teasley-street, Borough, They resided together for about six nronths, when a separation took place, the prisoner going to sea, and his wife into service ; the la,t time he saw she latter was in the month of August. 1:;25, when site fell a victim to the confisgration which then took place in 3larylehone. She resided in that district with a .Mr. Jones, a tallow-chandler, in the capa city of housekeeper. In reply to some further questions put by a professional gentle. man, who auended on behalf of the prisoner, he said, that during the prisoner's absence, a space of nearly 13 years, no cammuniea. tion to his knowledge had been kept op between him and his wife, and that she had, previous to her death, taken the name of Gravel, which was that of a person with whom she had fur some time cohabited. Elizabeth Ann Rogers, a young woman of respectable appear. arc, examined, stated that on the 20th of October, 11123, thinking the prisoner at the time a single n:an, she was married to him at the parish church of St. Matthew, Itettinal.green- The prisoner in his defence said, that previous to his marriage with the last witness he felt convinced of the death of his first wife, and in order to ascertain the legality of his second marriage, he applied at Wership-street Aire, where he was informed by the flak that not having heard of his ulna wife fur six or seven years he might legally marry again. Mr. HARDWICK considered the case a Gt one to go to a Jury, and accordingly committed the prisoner. UNION-HALL Henry ,Sponerr, John Barry, and Dewy Davis were yesterday brought before R. J. Cirmdants, Esq. on suspicion of having stolen two silver watches, some valuable gold seals and ear-rings, with other jewellery, from the shop wi: dow of Al r.(image Law rence, No. &6, Paradise-street, Rotherhithe, on the night of the 25th Feb. but. The prosecutor, who is a watchmaker and jeweller, stated, that as he was sittinfrin his back parlour about ten o'clock on the night n question, he heard the glace of his shop window crack.
