Philip Davis stated, that he worked *ith the Plaintiff, and measured the Defendant for the ar ticles, which were sent to Mr. John Shell, Bury street, St. James's. The Defendant wrote the or der in • book, but he had slot brought it with hint. The witness underwent • long cro.s.examination by Mr. MAKENNIS, as to the identity of the De trodaiit in ciis cause.

This action "as brought to recover rompensa lion in dainages for certain alesiderous words, spoken of and concerning the Plaintiff, by the Defendant. r. GURNEY stated the ease, as it was afterwards detailed in evidence by Sarah Berthulet. It ap peared horn her statement, that the Plaintiff had been subpoenaed as a witness in the Court of King's Bench, in July, 1817. The Defendant was also connected with the cause in which Alexander's evi dence was vegan-ed. After the trial, the Plaintiff returned to Lewisham, at which place Mrs. Bertho let resided, vslwre lie was accosted by the Defend ant with the following abuse :—" You are a liar—a false-swearing, perjured mars—and I can prove it." One or Mrs. Bertholet's servants asked, " Whom do yoo mean, Davis ?" when he answered, " I mean Alexander--ti perjured /meal." Crospexamined by Mr. ScAttLETT.—Witness is ■ widow; and employs Alexander to overlook her workmen. Alexander was by trade a butcher, but he was also a good surveyor. Witness could not judge whether he was a good surveyor of men and women. She was the person who brought an action for words in that Court. Alexander and Davis were both siihpusinied as witnesses. She did not know but Davis might have applied at her house for his expenses; but she never heard Alexander say "He was a white-livered rascal," for not swearing as far as he wished. Btvke and ‘Vyburn were the At tornies both in the former and in the present case. Witness knew nothing of any intention of indemni fying them for their costs. She certainly bad given no such promise. Alexander had, some time since, taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act. She never said " she was determined to ruin Davis, and not leave him a shirt to Isis back." Davis was a baker, and lived next door to her at Lewisham. _ _ Mr. SCA MATT said, there was an old adage, very applicable to tins case, viz. " That one good turn deserves another." This butcher, who over looked Mrs. Be►tholet's work►nen, appeared as a witness in her favour, when she brought an action. for words, by means of wh►ch she recovered ■ ver dict, and it was but fair that the lady should now stand forward to repay the obligation, and, in turn, to sti:iport his action. The Learned Courted, however, flattered himself that he should overturn this deep-laid although Mrs. Bertha leteri action had effected the ruin of one family, that of her friend and confidaut would not succeed against another. James ['erring stated, that he heard Alexander declare, that he would ruin Davis—and strip even the shirt from hi!- hack. _ . . Edward Burford deposed. that Mrs. Berth°let slid to him, •' She would ruin Davis, if possi ble, and not leave him a ►hirt to wear." He also, at • subsequeut period, heard Alexander say he would ruin the Defendant. Mr. BERN tephed.

Coma', E•q. the Chairman, tool a full Bench of Magistrates. After the Growl Jury were sworn the CHAIR MAN addressed them, unil said that the business for the µresent Sessions was so entirely in the usual court'', sod so devoid of any striking peculiarity in the catalogue of crime, that it was only for him to recomtneatel their attention, in the first instance, to the cases of felony. for the purpose of facilitating the arrangement of business at the Old Bailey. CRUELTY TO A CHILD. Charles Elliott, and Leonora his wife, were in dicted fur nothrwfully !vesting, and otherwise alms iv; and treating with great cruelty, Russell Elliott, their own that', it boy under nine years of age. The Prisoners seemed to be persons of a respecta ble rank in life—they pleaded Aot Mr. REV.voLns stated; that this prosecution was undertaken by the Overseers of the Pariah of St. Anne's, Bloomsbury, whole object was to inquire into the trentrorot of the child of the Defendants, Who was it buy of tender years, of infirm mind, and bail bodily cmiformation. The Learned Counsel then stated the nature of the evidence which he bad to adduce in support of the prosecution. It was as follows : Mrs. J. Lee stated that she was a widow, and resided in Fisher-oreet, Red Lion-square, the re sidence of the Prisoners, on the lit of June lain. About that period she recollected hearing a faint voice, like that of a child, front the upper part of the house, and the faint noise being repeated, she became lunch alarmed, and went to her mistress, Miss Matthews, who overheard it also. She imme diately knocked at the Prisoner's room door, when the female Prisoner opened it, and in answer to her questions, she said that it was her fool who was up stairs. The witness then described that she took an opportunity of going tip stairs, where she saw the poor child, stark tusked, fasteried to the bed post, and in a very filthy state. She often over heard the child slapped, but not severely. Witness reoutoneisded the female Prisoner in send the child to the workhouse, but she said she could not do so, as that would cost two or three shillings a week. She also said, " Ming the child, I could cut its throat !" The child was always fastened to the Led-post, and when witness gave meat for it; the mother and others of her family would eat it. Crest.eitnnined by Mr. A LtAT. She was always on good terms with Mir. Elliott; she denied havlntz written on ; ymous letter to the Magistrate, but she knew who Wrote it, and would not till. She was tint a stage dancer, not would she tell the Learerid t'oniisrl how Olen a friend of lies'a, a soldier. visited her. I here the duly became eery angry with Mr. Alley. and had evidently the advantage . of the U. trued Couit , el iu viduliility, She said that her 1111 ` tren knew lietilivg of her Trceivilig the starlit-es visits—the matter was quite a secret, though she now perceived Mr. Alley had got in possession of it, no doubt through the Prisoner, Mrs. Elliott, who was of the party with the soldier, and partici pated in the conversation. They used to spend long evenings togeth er , hut Mrs. Elliott never objected to the soldier's visits to witness. %he, re collected a gentleman's having accoated her in the street, and against her wish accompanied her to the door, where she mentioned the 'natter to Mrs. Elliott, who sent him shout his business. In tak ing a put iii this prosecution, she was nut actuated by and ill will to Mrs. Elliott ; she was solely in fluenced by humanity. Mrs. Burlingham "dated, that she also resided at Mr. Elliott's, for ah&it six weeks; and often while there heard the cries of a child, who was confined over her head. The reason alleged for confining it was, that it was an idiot. She remonstrated with the female Prisoner ou this treatment, who used to reply. " Madam, I can cut its throat for you." The father certainly blamed the mother for this treatment, and used to carry the child bread and water. She saw the child in a naked and in an im poverished state. The mother attacked her for taking an opportunity of seeing the child, and said that it was her wish no person should enter the room where it was. Cross-examined.—The last witness used occa sionally to come into her room, as they mere fellow lodgers in the same house, and they had certainly had repeated conversations respecting the treatment of this child. William Reid, the officer at Hatton-garden, stated, that he was sent on the 29th of September, by the Magistrates, to the house of the Prisoners. He first saw the female Prisoner, who said that all her children were out at play, and that nobody was in the house; he wished to go up stairs, but she said she would go up first ; he went up at her heels, and in the garret saw the child quite naked, and tied to the bed-post with the leather strap which he now produced. The reason that she assigned for keeping the child in this state was, that it was an idiot, and would tear any clothes it got fir its dress. Mrs. Mary Miller said she knew the Prisoners when they lived in Westminster, about a year ago ; she saw the child in their garret, in a filthy state; they used to feed it on cold potatoes. Mr. ALLEY addressed the Court for the Defeucl ant. He said that the unfortunate child who was the subject of this inquiry was an idiot, and re quired restraint to prevent him from doing mischief to himself as well as others. He would chew from a variety of witnesses, the tender care which the Prisoners took of him, and that he was only at times confined to prevent his setting fire to the place, and destroying himself and the rest of the family. The following were the witnesses for the De fence : Ellen Nesbitt was then called and sworn.— Knows the Defendants ; remembers when the child was brought home from nurse 7 years ago; he then was helpless. weak, and unable to walk. She was an inmate of the Defendant's house then, and has been in the constant habit of visiting them since, and always saw the boy treated with the greatest humanity. The mild used to betray symptoms of passion and idiotcy. If witness ever said any thing to irritate him, he instantly threw any thing in his way at her. Always saw the child fed in the same room, though at a different table; never saw him treated unkindly ; was in the constant habit of seeing him up to last April, but knows nothing of Ilia treatment since. Eliza Wetherhead examined. Knows the Defendants two veers and • half; lodged with them a year and a haft' of that time; had frequent opportunities 'or seeing the child ; it was apparently quite out of its senses. It was extreme ly subject to tits of passion, and used to scream in such a manner as to be quite offensive, without any reason. It was always treated kindly. Her testimony does not apply to the last year, not being during that space of time in the habit of seeiug the Defendants. Edward Staines examined. _ _ Is a teacher of mathematics; knows the Defen dants; sent fur the boy to examine him at his own house, two or three months ago. The result was, that he considered him to be an idiot. He seemed to be in perfect health, and well fed. Mrs. King examined. Has seen the boy very frequently at his father's house ; the first time she saw him, he set fire to his mother's petticoat, which was standing at the fire to air. Witness and his mother were out of the room, and heard him cry, " Mother, mother ! come and see what Russell has done !" They went in and found the petticoat blazing—the child has always had plenty to eat, and more than plenty ; he was treated better than the rest of the children; witness has known I to get meat when his father and mother had only bread and cheese to eat. Sidney Elliott is son to the Defendants; is be tween twelve and thirteen years of age ; his brother has been confuted shunt four months; he was con fined because he welgnischievous; he used to break the windows and plater below stairs; he used to take things and throw thent at the plates, and throw the plates on the ground ; he destroyed many things. He had the same victuals froth his father and mother as he (witness) had. There was every necessary convenience in his room. He and his sis. ter used frequently to be sent by their father and mother up stairs to play with him ; he has played With him an hour and a half in the Morning, and again in the reciting. The perverse dis position of his brother wail the rraion why the room was not 'deftly' in a state of cleanli ness—the shortness of the string would not prevent that. His brother lied a good homy frocks; but whenever c!othes were put on kin; lie could not be prevented f tearing them to pieces ; he never knew hie father to beat him; he slept in the same room with hits; there were two beds in it clotie to one another ; and the siting Ras long enough tit let his loather get on either. Before he was put up stairs, he floe day threw In iron instrument out of the window, on tt gentleman mi.s tag, and hurt his head ; the gentleman complained to his father about it ; he elan lore the blitiikets and bed-clothes; he hoed to carry it victuals to him, broth, mod o il ie r food, and always ennugh. The day Airs. Lee forced her way into the room, be was bringipg potatoes .{of winch his IpritLer w. very fond, and beef; does not know wlt:•tlwr Mrs. Lee saw them. Tlw strap► was only long roofing's to permit his going between the two beds; they were a yard asunder. . .

The evidence for the Defetitlaiiis having hero closed, Mr. Ituvuot.Ds imam addretoed the Jury. The CHAIRMAN recapitulated the evidence, and commented on it, and tile Jury were about hi consider of their verdict, when Mrs. Elliott ad- vanced from the bar, and asked, whether she might say is few words ? The Costastsst having given permission, ►he said, with the oppesi once of labouring under se vere distress of mind, that her husband was a la borious industrious lusts, winking trout six iii the morning till eleven at night, to support live and her children—that so far from behaving with wait ton cruelty towards his own child, he had carver knowingly inflicted unnecessary pain on only living creature—he was a harmless, inoffensive mats and if he had ally fault, it was that lie had a too easy disposition, and too readily yielded to the ad vice and suggestion of others. The Jury, in about a minute, found ball Prison ers guilty, but recommended Mr. Elliott to mercy. We understood that sentence is to be pronounced on Thursday. Joins Price, a servant of a Gentleman residing at %Vest End, was indicted by Santuel Williams for an assault on the 28th .J July. The facts of the case were simply these :—The Prosecutor was a showman, who assisted in the sports and amusements of West End fair, by ex hibiting a Kaleidoscope, and the master of the De-• fendant not liking to have a crowd stationed before his door, to view this instrument, ordered the Pro secutor to remove to some other place with his stand. The hitter did not immediately comply, and the Defendant, according to his master's order. went to remove the Kaleidoscope, et►d, in the scuffle with the showman, the instrument was thrown down, and injured. The Defendant was summoned before a Magi.- trate, and the shewinen got 255. for the injury done to the instrument : be was not, lioa:ver, satisfied with this satisfaction, ■nd he brought this prosecu tion for the assault; but as it appeared, according to his own evidence, to have been committed alum Ithe instrument, and not upon the man. the Jury, without hesitation, acquitted the Defendant. POLICE. w- written At ari early hour yesterday morning, information was re ceived at the above office, that Portman Remick' had been broken open, and property of considerable WANe stolen.— Lavender, the officer, was immediately dispatched, and au inveatiptinn was entered into. The regiment was tinder orders to attend the Queen's funeral, and was to march on their way towards Windsor yesterday morning at ten o'clock. The baggage waggon was parked with every thing necessary for starting yesterday morning •t six o'clock, and in is was Colonel Dance's portmanteau, containing his dress regimentals fur the state duty, • silver stick, and other va luable property. The waggon was placed in the Riding home, which was considered extremely well secured and guarded; however, on preparing yesterday morning for starting, it was entertained that the Riding house had hceu broken open, and C•lo•el Dance's portmanteau stolen.
