HAMMOND v. GOTHER AND OTHERS. Mr. MATTHEWS stated that this was a bill tiled against the 'defendants, to compel them to a specific performance of a contract they had entered into, to grant a lease of some land to the plaintiff. "lizer d lefendants sere the trustees of a Society which had been for the purpose of erecting a Dissenting Chapel in Water loo-road. which was to be denoininsted " Tle New Jerusalem Temple." The trustees finding that they had not sufficient money for into effect the intentions of the trust, borrowed a con siderub e sum from a gentleman named Jenkins, who was to have the security of a mortgage on the lease of the land on which the !Chanel was built. Subsequently, however, they determined that so save expense the lease should at once be granted to Mr. Jenkins, but with that resolution the owner of the laud declined compliance. The lease V:10 accordingly ntade out to the defendants as the true. tees. After the chapel had been built in May, 111:10, it was found that there remained a small portion of ground which might be let out to advantage, and • board was placed on the chapel, Intimating , 'that such portion was to be let on a building lease. The plaintiffap plied to the defendant tioyder, as the person named on the board, and k was agreed between them that he should become tenant of the poi. tiara of land in question for 75 years, at • rent of 141. per annum. The plaintiff was then let into possession, and a memorandum of thagereement was drawn up, but was subsequently destroyed by the plaintiff, who trusted to the religious character of the defen dants for its punctual performance. The plaintiff proceeded to (mid a four-room house upon the land, pursuant to the words of the agreement, and drew a wall across the ground, separating the hod he renttd from the chapel ground. Before the house wan busily com pleted , , it was found necessary to lower the chapel ground, an d it was then discovered that the workmen had no way into the road from the back part of the chapel, but through the chapel itself. The defendants had not provided for this in the agreement: they bad not reserved a right of way through the plaintiff's ground, and they were therefore obliged to go through to chapel on every occasion. As they had not granted the lease to the plaintiff, they then refused to fulfil their contract, and alleged Is. reason, that the plaintiff had not built the house in the manner aipelated. On this point there was contradictory evidence of opinion; but the plaintiff relied on this circumstance, that the de. ftdants had seen the work as it proceeded, and bad not made the tightest objection until after they found the inconvenience arising limn the want of a reservation of right ever the plaintiff's land. Mr. TRESLOVE and Mr. Cntwo, for the defendants, contended, Test, that this being the case of a charity, the plaintiff ought to hawejoined the Attorney-General in the snit; and secoodly, that was evident the defendants never could have meant to deprive themselves of the benefit of • tight of way from the back of the chapel into Cornwall-road; and they also contended, that on the plaintiff's own evidence it was clear that this objection had been made before the work was completed, for one of the witnesses stated it to hare been raised " at or about the time of finishing the house." Lastly, they insisted that the house was not such a Vailding as offered a valuable security for the payment of the sent reserved; and in support of this they referred to the testimony • •f one of the defendant's witnesses, from which it appeared that the Sore was built of old materials, and was only fit for the residence sat people "of low condition. If a plaintiff came into Court to compel specific performance of an agreement, he must state that r t truly on the record. and must prove it as stated, and i y e un e lat he must *hew that he bad performed his own part of it. This the plaintiff had not done ; he had not shewn that he had built the house in the time limited by die agreement, nor boat it was such a building as would at the expiration of the term be of any value to the plaintiff's lessors. They again urged that vas impossible the defendants could have intended to deprive themselves of the way from the back cf the chapel to the Cornwall. Road, the more especially as there was a school on that side of the chapel to which there were no other meant of getting but through Ilia Alva itseV. tie . 14. HANCELLOII.—This is a bill filed by the plaintiff' sp qirry into etiect the terms of a parole agreement, entered into be tween himself end the defendara Goyder. The terms of that parole agreement were afterwards reduced into writing, and adopted by tl.l defendant. It is very plain on the evidence what is the nature ,g this case. since the agreement has been partly carried into effect, by the plaintiff' uilding a house upon the land agreed to be demised 'to him. the casters have found it inconvenient not to possess right of way over that land, from the chapel into Cornwall-road. At one time, indeed, they appear, by the evidence lying before the, to have actually entered into a negotiation on the subject, and dffered certain terms to the plaintiff; • thing quite inconsistent eith the declaration made at the bar, that it was impossible they mild ever have intended to deprive themselves of the right; for by that negotiation they, in fact, acknowledged that they possessed an such right under the agreement, nor had ever reserved any. The *hole of the one hail arisen merely on the inconvenience al. luded to. It has been said, that the Attorney-Ueneral ought to have been made a party to this suit, as it relates to a charity. In the strict and literal arceptetion of that word it may relate to a charity but there is nothing In this agreement the Coot does not passess the full power of carrying into execution ; and it would be err- mischievous indeed if the Court could not enforce this contract widimo making hint and all the subscribers parties to die suit. It has been also atatertea that the plaintiff' should chew that he has samplied with the term' of the agreement, before he OM call upon the other party to carry it into effect. I same with that promo. p; but in this cue I think he hat sufficiently shewn his cum. tte. lie has proud that he has built "a four.room house,* HI the very terms of the agreement; and though the parties differ as to the eminent' the house, yet I cannot take that into consideration, illitere the defendants have limited themselves by such a very etnie hil and indefinite description. Under all tile circumstances, there lure, I am of opinion that I must grant the prayer of the bill, and ...impel the defenda n t.. to specific performance of their contzazt.

WESTERN CIRCUIT, Wiren RRRRR , Shim l& The bent Assizes for this county finished this afternoon, and the Judges (Ale. Justice Burrough and Mr. Sergeant Bosanquet) set off for Salisbury, to open the Commission this evening there, for the discharge of their impdrtant duties to► the county of Wilts. There were eleven criminals sentenced to death, or bad that awful sentence recorded against them ; but they were all reprieved before the Judges left the city. Had it not been for the assists:nee of Mr. Justice Burrough and .Mr. Hamlet, there would have beet some difficulty in the deli-eri of the gaol from 'peptise a number' of prisoners, and many of the trials being long. DELME „....... This cause excited a considerable degree of interest, from the circumstance of Mr. Sergeant PF.LL being brought down by an especial retainer tie the defendant. Lite question between the parties was, whether the soil between high and low.watcr marks, whereon the defendant h a d erec t e d a wharf at Fareham, was parcel of the manor of Cams, After the cause had been opened by Mr. °melee, and several witnesses ex amined, The Learned Jr DOE suggested a etmpromise ; and it was ulti. mately agreed between the respective Counsels, that the defendants allnuld acknowledge the manorial right of the plaintiff to the land in question, by the acceptance of a lease (extending it thirty-five feet, and reserving a quit renn renewable on the payment oft fixed line; and that each party should pay his own coats. THE KING, ON THE PROSECUTION OF ATKINSON W. The Jury having been sworn, Mr. Anaw. as Counsel for the prosecution, stated, tha this was an indictment at the de fendant, far challenging Mr. Atkinson ; anti, as it arose between two members of one family, he had the satisfaction of informing the Jury, that enarreagement had been entered into, which would render their interposition unnecessary. That the defendant's Counsel, Mr. Williams, had very properly (if he may be allowed to say so) suggested, that by Mr. Carters entering into recognizance., with su fluent &menet, for such period as his Lordship might direct, no further proceedings should take place. The Learned Jr no E. therefore, ordered that Mr. Carter shonld enter into a recognizance for 5001. and two sureties in 2501. each for keeping the peace, and being of good behaviour towards all his Ma jesty's subjects, and especia ll y towards the prosecutor, for the term of three years. The defendant and his sureties having entered into the recogni lances in Court, the matter was settled. CARTLI, ASSIOWEE OF THE LATIL POIRTSMOUTII BANN, V. PAUL, AMU:FIE Of SIMS, A AAWILAUPT.

This ins an actionlß damages, arising out of the defendant 1 having commenced business as a tanner, colt to plaintiff's i premises, by which he complained of many inconveniences and in. price to his property. But after Mr. Wilde, for the defendant, Wid commented on the facts, it was agreed (with the concurrence of the Judge) that the affair should be arranged, without troubling the Jury to decide on its unfits. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. SAVAGE, JUN. r. GODF AEC AND 1.71.0 R. ISpecial J ?cry.] This action, for breach of promise of marriage, had for many days excited the expectations of those who are fond of fun—it being thought that many circumstances of a laughable nature would be elucidated in the coarse of the trial. On this account, and because numerous friends of boa parties attended to hear the issue of the cause, the Court was brim full of auditors. The facts which were submitted to the consideration of the Jury were chiefly as follows : The plaintiff is in partnership with, or at least in the employ of, his father, a respectable hair-dresser at iternsey. The defendant,. Mr. Godfrey, is the son of a grocer and tallow-chandler, in the same town, and was married to die lady who is the cause of the proceedings, and whose maiden name was Mary Ann Fryer, in the early part of last year. The plaintiff had, for ten long years, paid his addresses to bliss F, and, as will appear, received from her reiterated promises that he was the happy man. The defendant had pleaded the Statute of Limitations, but did not resort to it on the trial. At the time the plaintiff comineneed his suit—not the present suit, but his suit of love—Miss Fryer resided with an aged 'aunt, by the name of Jones. The old lady was averse to the coo. flexion, and the young couple were therefore compelled to have re course to secret meetings (in the cow.house, Ike.), through the as. istance and confidential exertions of the servant, Miss Elisabeth Judd—only forty-eight years old ! This handmaid of Cupid, and the plaintiff's sister, a very decent and reputable-looking young woman, clearly proved repeated promises by Miss Fryer, to marry the plaintiff, immediately on the death of her aunt. About Christ mas, 1822, Mrs. Jones died; and her will, which was proved by Air. Godfrey, as her executor, left Miss Fryer the owner of some few thousands of British coin. The plaintiff, delicately refraining from personal intrusion too soon after the death of poor Mrs. Jones, sent his sister above-mentioned to Miss Fryer, with every expression of undiminishtd affection. Miss Fryer repeated her promises —never to be fulfilled! :'ut why? after ten yeah of fidelity, what potent cause should change the mind of Mary Ann ? Mr. Godfrey had read the aunt's will, and he fell in love with the faithless legatee, who, too susceptible of his insinuating attention., withdrew her favour from the anxious Mr. Savag e , and placed her changed a ff ections on her aunt's executor. The courtship of her second (we should say *ext admirer) was much more brief, and much more effixtive than that of the deserted plaintilE In the May, of 1823, Alias Fryer became Mrs. Godfrey'—" Savage's occupations gone." His ten years' siege had all been spends vain, and his patient declaration, that he would gladly wan, " if it was twenty years longer," was now of so avail ! Every promise that Miss Fryer had made, even the solemn vow, sanctified by a kiss on the Bible, after he had been treating her with rum and wine, were all violated, and the plaintiff had no consolation, sign Iwhat the laws of his country might afford. 111r.8avago is about thirty-fire years of age, and earns eight shillings even Ossek ; mod Mrs. Godfrey is in her fortieth year, arid of a constitution—not quite so strong es her pocket. No witnesses were ..alled on behalf of the defendants; but severe remarks on the evidence were made, in a vein of acute and ironical argument, of above an hour's duration, by Mr. C. F. Williams, their advocate. The Jury consulted a few minutes, and then compensated Mr. Savage, for his twofold loss of Mrs. Godfrey and ber money, by a verdict for plaintiff—Damages 4001. BYIINI, WIDOW, V. ,PORTZE. Catharine Byrne is a bomb-boat woman, and John Porter. some thing in that line. Mrs. Byrne had obtained great popularity in her profession, and was applied to by defendant, in March, 11121, for an introductory letter to the crew of the Sappho, !hen just sr rived in Plymouth harbour. A Mrs. Mullens was to sell the goods, and the profits were to be equally divided between her and the parties to this action. The sons of Sappho were jolly fellows, and Mrs. Mullens soon found herself • gainer of SOL ; 801. of which she retained for herself, and paid the other two shares to the defendant, in trust, the himself and Mrs. Byrne. The cause of the present action is too apparent ; the widow had not received her " 2111., **justly due to her as the primum mobile of the whole con " cern. The testimony established the inteioity of Mrs. Mullens, and the justice of Mrs. Byrne's demand, which was acknowledged ' by a verdict for the plainutf—Dal.iagesM. The rest of the causes were either settled without any trial, or disposed of without any investigation worth public notice. MIDLAND CIRCUIT—LiwcoLx, BIARCII 11. [flfore Mr. Dawn liuLt.ocK.l PARCEII V. DAVY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover aimpensa tion in damages for the loss of the service of his daughter. The appearance ut the young lady WM, extremely itreposseraing, and when put into the witness lax, her very modest and amiable demeanour excited strong symptoms of sympathy in all who beheld her, ex cepting the seducer and his father. its Parker is the only daugh ter of very respectable parents ; she it between sixteen and seven teen, but appears much older. Her features are pale, but pretty and interesting, and her dress was exceedingly neat and becoming. When first placed in the witness box she was bathed in tears. During the whole examination she conducted herself with great F-priety, and without the least appearance of affectaion. 4r. C , jun. opened the pleadings. V Mr. Sergeant AUGHAN then addressed the Jury nearly as fol. laws:—'lay it please your Lordship,--lientlemen of the Jury,— In rising to address you, I do as you that 1 feel • more than urdtnery degree of analog far the issue of this ee" e e•l , tet the present occasion, Gentlemen of the J urv, represent a eery unhappy and a very miserable father—a father who is weeping over the ruin ef a young, amiable, and beloved daughter, eflecied by the most atrocious, the most foul, and the most fraudulent means. There ate 00 cases so distressing to the administrators of justice as the ad judication of offences of the description of the one now under your consideration. Nevertheless, distressing as they are, the ends of justice and the good of society imperiously require that they should neither go unnoticed nor unpunished. The Gets of the case are in a very narrow compass, and I shall lay them before you from the mouth of the unfortunate victim herself. The plaintiff, Gentlemen of the Jury, is a tanner, fernier, and militate'', in the Parish of licawby, near Brieg, in this county, and the defendant is a farmer, in the vicinity of the settle place. Living near to each other, the timilies were on terms of great intimacy. The defendant is a very young man, Gentlemen, and it is scarcely credible, that one su green in years should be so grey in vice. He is now married ; and at the very niernent that he was endeavouring to accom plish the ruin of me client's daughter, he was actually on the point of marriage with another woman. This, Gentlemen, is pretty strong evidence of the d.ep atrocity of the defendant's conduct. This is sonnahing new in the annals of iniUnty. Such conduct—ouch monstrous, smut perfidious conduct, is surely not the character of the present age. ,It is not, indeed, like the character of any age. It is new and unique in itself—it stands alone, without a parallel. Finding he could net accomplish his ends by the oulinary means of seduction, he told his unsuspect. ing victim that her father, who was averse to the connection, would never give his consent, unless she becam4 pregnant. lie coot pleted her ruin ; and the family had no suspicion of this man. He wet in and out of the house whenever he pleased. He possessed him sell of the poor girl's affections, completed her ruin, and then east her. away for ever. Gentlemen, it is not probable - it is not in nature, that a well-educated girl could be se abandoned as to yield to the connuisidon of such • crime, without laying had practised span her acts of the most consummate viUany. Yoe this base, fur this frandful, and for this most unmanly action of the defendant, you, (ientlemen of the Jury, are called upon to award damages. 1 . 011 are not, however, calltd upon to give any thing to the daughter. You are culled upon to make satisfaction to the unfortunate, the in ,' jured father, which, as far as money an give satisfaction, it is your duty to give. If any of you, Gentlemen of the Jury, are fathers, to those fathers I now particularly address myself, and I ask you what your heeling, would be, provided yet were pieced./ in tine situation . ar mj =bane &hit ? *hat money would tolyal In be so situated? And if so situated, what money would be a mina= compensation for year accumulated wrongs ? At this moment of time my client's daughter is not seventeen years of age, but she is a perfect woman in her appearance, and has been so foe two or three years. The econaintance of the parties took place when she was not more than thirteen or fourteen years of age, and it conti nued to the spring of the last year, when be accomplished his par. pose and abandoned her. The length of the adman/ proves that she was not easily porrailed upon . If my Learned I nentl should put quations to the unhappy girl—questions which will oblige her to repeat her tale of infamy, and thereby add another sting to her wounded feelings, you, lientlernen of the Jury, will know to whom this conduct ought to be attributed. You will know that my Learned Friend =opted it solely in conformity with his in structions;_ and you will feel, that it will add not a little to the enormity of the defendant's guilt.

By the JUDDE —Davy's wife lived at Boston before he married her. Did not know how far Boston was from Brigg. Lit is about ' tifty miles.) Mr. Sergeant VAUGH•Y—That is my we. Mr. READER said, that he had seldom seen the talents of an advo cate more artfully employed than by his Learned Friend upon the present occasion. His Learned Friend had said much about pro ! treeing our daughters; but the Jury would recollect that we had sons as well as daughters, who stood in need of protection. He would contend that the defendant, th e person now bete.: the Court, had been trapped by the fisgrantandimprOer conduct of the young wunian's mother. If a young nom was placed in the situation !of his client, it was scarcely possible that he should mime. The Jury would recollect that the case rested solely upon the eel -1 deuce of a girl full of resentment, on account of the detendant pre -1 ferring another woman to her. It was not probable that a boy of seventeen should make proposals of marriage to a girl of thirteen. The main features of her evidence might be correct, but all the minor points were made up out of Court, as his Learned Friend's speech had been made up is Court—or, perhaps, out of Court, for he had some doubts upon the subject. It was the mother who laid the foundation of all; aml would the Jury give large damages, when the mother had acted with such flagrant unpraptiety, and her father with such blameable carelessness ? He felt certain that they would not give such damages as would ruin the young man, who was a mere boy, and indeed the most moderate damages would satisfy the justice of the case. Dlr. Baron lluxt.ocx charged the Jury. He said, in eases like this the amount of damages must have reference to the conduct of the offending party, as well as to his property. The Jury had heatd nothing respecting the property of the defendant ; they would, therefore, give such damages as they thought ought to be laid upon a man who had demeaned himself in the way be lad done. Hale Jury . believed her evidence—and there was no Manses a disbelieve it, for if it had been untrue, a number of witnesses might havebeen called to contradict it—the circumstance dello leaßag quaintance of the parties before her ruin spewed that she was ma won. The conduct of the female always ought to betaken hie derstion. Where there is levity and improper baaviinr, damages ought to be considerably less. The defending% in marrying soother woman, just after he had . the ruin of the plaintiff's daughter , was a peculiar hie ili dtict, offence. The mother, it appese, approved o the eansedost, although her father disapproved pt it ; but he saw nothing =na tural or improbable in that. She might think she was paireeing her daughter's happiness, and the father might be eta different opinion. The parties were young, it was true; they . =ski re. collect the defendant had made a proposal of to the mother. The Jury would not indict vindictive damages,lat such ss the offence deserved. After the Jury had consulted for some minutes, one of them rose and addressed his Lordship. He raid their only difficulty was respecting the property of the defendant They were not aware whet his property amounted to. Alr. Baron II u m.oca •. I cannot assist you. The fact is not before she Court ; therefore the quantum of damages must be estimated by the quantum of injury.

About noon on that day Mr. Justice Bailey arrived at Lancaster and opened the commission. Mr. Justice Holroyd did not arrive until ten o'clock at night. On the following morning Mr. Justice Bayley entered the Crown Court at nine o'clock, and the Grand Jury were sworn. His LORDSHIP then delivered his charge, which Was of SOWN length, but contained nothing of particular importance. In allu sion to two cases in the calendar, of wilful cutfing and maiming, his Lordship observed, that, be fore the Gland Jury found a bill, they should ascertain whether the party charged had, previous to inflicting the wound which homed the subject of the accusation, received a blow, or was under any illegal restraint. In either of those cases, an indictment for the capital charge could not be sus tained, though it might be very proper that a bill should be found for a misdemeanor. With regard to the cases of rape (of which there me three), his Lordship said it would be proper that the jury should have the original depositions before them, in order that they might see what had been said in the first instance by the parties who preferred the charges end what had been their conduct im mediately after the alleged offence, that they might not find a bill without a probable chance of conviction, for they will be well aware that the public discussion of such cases, without securing a conviction, was calculated to produce very mischievous ocusequences. His Lordship then directed the attention of the Jury to the cases of murder, and particularly to cue in which it might appear that the woman who was charged was so destitute of reason, as to be incapable of distinguishing right from wrong : if 'the Jury were persuaded that that was the case, they would not find the bill. A person in such a state of mind could not be guilty of crime, and the Jury could not legally find the bill, unless there was prima fiteie evidence of guilt. Ills Lordship then adverted to the employment of the prisoners in the gaol, and said it was highly important that persons who were confined in gaols should be em ployed in such occupations as were adapted to their several powers and capacities, and would enable them to procure subsistence when they . were disci' igen. With regard to female prisoners, he begged perucularly to threes the attention of the Jury to them, as he knew that certain voluntary exertions (alluding, we presume, to those of Mrs. Fry) had been highly beneficial, and had also been produc tive of benefit there. The subject was of great importance ; and if the Jury could make any suggestion upon it, he had no doubt they would be duly atter.ded to. His Lordship then stated why the Assizes had, on this occasion, been opened at Lancaster sooner than at York, thus inverting the usual order. This, he &famed, was owing to the difficulty of calculating how long the business would occupy at each place, from which it sometimes resulted that per sons who had gone to all the expense of preparing for trial, were compelled to go back without having their causes determined ; and it was thought desirable to allow the termination of the /tsetses sometimes to occur at York, in order that the wear of causes there might be disposed of. The tiro prisoner tried was Benjanaiss Thome; aged 18, who was charged, on a .Conmer's filmiest, a Ulf the wilful murder of George Jones, at Liverpool, and by a bill of indictment, found at the last Assizes, with killing and slayfog the said George Jones. The case was of a yet y aggravated nature. The prisoner and • person named Hanlun were drinkins together in a public-house i n Greetheni-sueet, Liverpxol, and Me latter had in his possession a carving-knife, which he had been getting sharpened. ionic quarrel arose between llaalon and another perthe. who follewed him out of the house, LAI wished to tight hint. The altercation between theut! colleste4 a number of persons in the street. The prisoner, who was intoxicated, utilised them to get about their busitoits; they refused to go, and he Mei: struck one or two of them. They began to call him names, and to throw bricks and mud at bin,. The prisoner tequeeted Harlon to give hint the knife, saying he would squander them. Hanlon refused ; but the prisoner wrested it mini hint, and rushed on the deeewfed, whin.: he first struck in the fare with his hood, and then slabbed bun twice in the hely with the knife. 'file deceased fell. and the prisoner pursued one or two other persons with the knife, but it was wrested front him before he did sty further mischief. Jones died in two days afterwards, in the hair nuoy. The facts were proved by the clearest evidence, and the Jury im mediately found him Gently o f f Alunsitmetter. Ilia berdship, after expetienng on the enormity of the offence, I sentenced him to fourteen years trinsportation. ! Jesep4 (Wittig., 19, and Ra..illea, 21.1, were charged with having I siemulted Richard H. U, en the highway, and robbing him of a watch, a knite, several keys, a pocket-book, containing a 31. Black burn note; three 11. 3feet:l:Afield notes, and other property. 17ollins at first pleaded guilty, but, at the desire of the Judge, a ithdrew his plea, and pleaded not guilty. The propecutor was dragged from his horse, about half way be tween Stockport and Manchester. by thtee men, who robbed him of the property In question. The watch rut found nest day in the , possession of Collins, and the 3L Blackburn note turned out to lave been paid to a clothes-dealer. et long chain of evidence was necessary to prove the identity of the note; but it was most satisfaptorily established.

The Jury found theprisoners Henry Grein, aged 211, was charged, on two separate indictments, with stealing cows. When arraignegl, he plead guilty. Mr. Justice BAYLEY advised film to withdraw his plea; for, as he had been carrying on a trade of stealing cattle for some time, he (the JodKe) was afraid be could not recommend him to mercy. The prisoner said he had no friends, and therefore no chance ; and he dechnett to withdraw his plea. He was then removed from the bar. 24781 PRIUS—FaIDAL TRESPASS. ItOOL 1004 v. BIRCH, MI. Tbislras an action against &boles Birch, Ear. formerly of this town, to recover a compensation in damages for a animas on the lamis of the plaintiff, by hunting over them, after notice given to abstain therefrom. Mr. SCARLETT stated the case to the Jury, and called John Turner, who proved the service on the defendant, prior to the tres pass, of a notice not to come upon the lands of the plaintiff'. This witness was cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Caoss, and said that he had served a great number of similar notices on Mr. Birch. He had been employed by Mr. Thomas Machell, of Ain'. worth, to go about the country to get signatures to these notices. Mr. 3lachell is a subscriber to another pack of bounds in the neigh bcorhood. Mr. Richard Mitchell and Thomas Thompson proved the tres pass, which consisted in sonic of Mr Birch's hounds baring run, for an instant, into the property of the plaintiff', when the defen dant went into a road which passed through the plaintirs land and called them off: lie then returned back from the road, vtithuut having himself 4ons on the fields at all. In cross-axanunation Thehipson admitted that he had been em ployed by the subscribers to the other hounds, to watch Mr. Birch for about eighteen weeks, and sou paid weekly wages for it by Mr, Al ache. Mr. Sergeant Caoss mad a very excellent speech for the de fendant, and attributed the whole proceedings to ill ~loud, arising out of a quprrel between Mr. Birch's son and Mr. MachelL He called rn wiinp....m ... Joides Ho ~ .ROYD told the Jury that, in his opinion, a tres pass lieu boa. 4.outinitted, but left the damages entirely to them. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages—One farthing. Mr. SCASLETT hoped his Lordship would certify. Mr. Justice HOLIOYD said he would consider of it. THOMPSON r. BIRCH. This was another action against the same defendant, and brought under the same circumstances as the last. It was proved that the defendant started a hare on his own lands, and looked on whilst his hounds followed it into the lands of the plaudit', and a person (who was not his servant) hunted them there. Verdict for the pia titt—Darnages—Forty shillings. The calendar contains the names of seventy-seven prisoners, amongst whom arc four accused of murder ; fourteen of man slaughter ; and three of rape.

EXTZWSIVE RONBEVY.—:4tUitiai Thanes Frederic Kreese and laizabeth Harriet Kreese, his wite were brought up for re examination charged on suspicion of having stolen a large quan. City of valu able jewels, &c. in the dwelling - house of Mrs.. Keigh- I l e y, an aged widow lady, residing at No. 16, Upper Harley-street, Cavendish-square. I The circumstances attending this robbery, and the capture of the prisoners, are very singular. The female prisoner was housekeeper to Mrs. Keighley for more than eighteen years, and was so much in her confidence that every thing was entrusted to her care. About four years ago she became acquainted with the prisoner, T. 1. Keene, who was at that time a translator of foreign languages, and was much respected in his profession. He was a poet . too, it is said, and wrote many songs, which have been set to music; and in personal appearance he had much the advantage of the young woman. She is rather a good. looking though diminutive person, and her face is deformed by an unsightly scar, extending from the left eye across the cheek, and dividing the upper lip. But nevertheless they married ; and it would appear that almost immediately after they commenced that system of plunder which has brought them into their present predi cament, the opportunity of plunder being afforded them by the young woman continuing in her situation. Mrs. Keighley was possessed of some very costly jewels, which she has not used for I many years, and they were deposited in a casket, sealed with her own seal; and there were other valuable trinkets entrusted to the care of the young woman. In the beginneig of November last year she abruptly left Mrs. Keighley'e service, and after her depar ting that lady having occasion to open the sealed casket, discovered that a diamond cross and necklace had been taken out of it. The impression of the seal, however, was perfect and unbroken, so that it WAS evident the robbery must have been effected by some person who had access to the seal with which that impression was made, and had therefore the means of replacing the impression after having accomplished their purpose; and as no one but the female primner had access to it she was suspected of the robbery. Many other articles of value were missed after this discovery, and information Of the circumstances having been laid before the Magistrates, !Salmon, one of t h e principal officers of this establishment, was directed to inquire into them. He set about It immediately, and was fortunate enough to discover the greater part of the property, pledged with different pawnbrokers in London; H. he was not so fortunate in discovering the supposed robbers. He ascertained that they were gone to the Continent, though to what part of it re mained a mystery ; however, he set out in pursuit of them, and, after attarchuig fur them in Dunkirk, Lisle, and Antwerp, he as. astained that they were living In Brussels; but the Authorities at the Hague refused to 'snake. their apprehension, he being fur nished only with a Magistrate's warrant. He therefore returned to England for &Judge's warrant, but in order to procure this, it was necessary to indict the parties. They were indicted accordingly ; the Grand Jury returned a true bill against then:, and thereupon the Lord Chid Jilstic,e of the King's Bench issued his warrant for their apprehension. Armed with this instrument, and axiom pa need by Wm. Smith, a trusty patrol, Salmon once more pnoeedM to the Hague; *here the Minister of Justice, and the Commis sary of Police, duly authorized him to take the parties into cus tody, and carry them to England ; and they also appointed a gendarme to assist him. He immediately proceeded to Bruasels, and after a short search be found the woman in an obscure lodging in that city, in a state of great poverty. When Salmon entered the room, she was washing a few rigged articles of under dress; and upon his asking her where her husband was, she burst into tears, and told him her husband bad deserted her tea days before--he was gone, she knew not where; he had left her without the slightest means of subsistence, and during the last three days she had been almost entirely without food. Diliwtent search was made utter ha husband in Brussels, but without effect ; and, eventually, Salmon set out on his return to England with the wife. On reaching Ostend they stopped at the Loudon Hotel, on time Grand Quay, kept by an Englishman named Cocks, intending to wit there until the wind should serve for their passage to England. The female prisoner was placed in an upper room of the ender the cars of William Smith and the gend'arme l = the same evening, as Salmon was sitting in one the parlours on the ground flour, he saw the husband go along the passage with • candle in his hand, as If retiring to bed. Salmon instantly fol lowed him up stairs into his bed room, and there challenged him as the person he had been in pursuit of, Thos. Frederic Kreese, but he said his name was Stevens, and denied that he was a married man, or that he had been in England during the last six years. The o ffi cer was puzzled a little, for the description of Kreme's person, with which he was furnished, was very imperfect, and therefore, in order to ascertain the fact, he sent to Will. Smith and the gend'amie to bring the female prisoner into the room. This stratagem decided the matter at once, for the poor woman no sooner saw the detained person than she exclaimed, " Oh ! my dear Thomas !" and rushing forwards, she threw her arms round his neck and wept. lie then admitted at once that he was her husband, and that his ramie was Thomas Frederick Kreese; and thereupon Salmon brought them both safely to England. He arrived in London with than on Wednesday evening List. In the evening they were brought before the Magistrate, and by him coin ttttt ted until the parues prosecuting should have notice of their arrival. This day they were again brought up, when Thomas Keighley, req. of Harpenden, ilertfonshire, stepson to Mrs. Keigbley, of Marley street, attended on her behalf, and stated that she was too much indisposed to appear before the Magistrate at present. She had been robbed, he said, of jewellery and plate to the amount of nearly fit,dl. ; and an.ong other articles were a diamond necklace and ear-rinxi, a dianioed cross, several diamond rings, a gold repeater, &r. The field repeater was produced by a Mr. Baddeley , shopman to Mr. Dubree, the pawnbroker, in OiConl-street ; who deposed that he received it in pledge from the prisoner Mrs. Knew, with whose person he was well acquainted, having often advanced her money upon various kinds of property within the last tour years. Several other pawnbrokers produced a variety of different articles which had born pledged with Mem by the female prisoner, and the persons of both prisoners being identified, they were fully corn ' mined to Newgatc for trial. lIATTON-GARDEN. - - JOHNSON AND THE BAKERS.--Saturday a host of bakers (eleven in number) appeared to answer informations preferred against them by Johnson, the informer. The cases were supported by his witness, Byers, who visited the baker's shops in the neigh bourhood of lied I,io i-square, for the purpose of entrapping them, by caking for a loots without giving a description of it, and buying it without havittg it first weighed. In these eleven ease, be suc ceeded in getting a loaf, without its being first weighed; and In nine of them Johnson obtained convictions. _ . The defendants not being abk to refute the eridonce of Byers, they were convicted in the mitigated penalty of ten shillings, sad four shillings and sixpence costs. MAIMIKMOUGH-STREET, LICENSE!) V IJr I: AI. LEN B.—Satutday this office was thronged by licensed victuallers who were suramont-I before I. E. Covaav and 11. M. DYE., &up.. cha►ged with keeping open their houses at late hours. Out of the numerous complaints made, the follow. *twos the only one of interest : Mr. Metcalf, the proprietor of a reapeetable public-house, called the Poland Arms, Poland-street, (Jolden.aquare, was charged with having his hume .q..m at a quarter before twelve o'clock, and wal -1 ing drinki g in hi 4 parlour. Wale*, tits officer, being sworn, deposed, that ou Thursday taght, accoeciing to instruatiese be had received, he pro various public- houses in the above neighbourhood, in the of Clements and ScholieM, the Akers, for the porpme that all was orderly and correct. On entering the defentlatitc house, they found several persona inside the parlour drinking)* smoking their pipes, when the witness gave notice of die m at proceedings. The defendant, a respectable-looking man, in his defame, L ai that he endeavoured to keep his house orderly and respectable. ti e had embarked a considerable property in the concern, for the mo). modation of respectable persons who raided in Orford-meg They were reputable tradesmen, who came to his house a f ter their business was over, which was sometimes ao late as II o'clock. • take sonic refreshment ; and it wr impossible for hint to sus I them out without losing their custom. Mr. CONANT.—The law will not allow you to keep open late r than half-past eleven o'clock. Mr. M.—Hut my customers will not leave the house, an t i would offend them to make them leave the house, or al l is u s watch. Magistrate.—it is your duty, for the protevion of you licence, to get rid of them ; if they are entertained elsewhere,' a later hoot, make it known at th:s office ; the law cannot b ; infringed. Mr. Metcalf remarked, that if ,a respectable man came Use his house id eleven o'clock. and called for a glass of brandy and we. ter, he would stop some time ; and if he was to turn hint rudely mit of the house, he could go to many hottis and taverna u the Vest End of the town, where he could be provid,-d midi who he thought proper, and sit at his ease till any how. It that we e the law, he conceived it to be very arbitpry. llagistrate.—But that is quite different. We often read of Public Meetings for the support of Charitable Institutions, b e y a Taverns and Motels, where Noblemen, and sometimes Bi.hops, as tend, to take their wine, and remain until twelve and or.e to the morning ; but then they had their carriages and savants wait % for them, and they proceeded quietly and orderly to their beds, without disturbing the peace ; but it was different with the W ee orders of society, who, after being heated by their indulgence is spirituous liquors till a late hour, 'Allied ftrrth In a 0 the revelry o r wild folly. Mr. Metcalf denied that kis house was resorted to by the loves orders ; but, on the contrary, the most respectable master tradesnine of Oxford-street were his visitors, and he was in every way incline* to preserve the.pt ace and character cf his house. Magistrate—Well: you enter your house under • menia l understanding to conform to the regulations of the Legislators' and a deviation from them, you must be fully aware, subjects ye t to its penalties. Mr. Metcalf was convicted in the penalty of Ilia. which he p a id reluctantly. Several other persona were convicted under 'issue, UNION-HALL. This office was crowded on Saturday with licensed victuallers, is consequence of the detection of a new species of fraud, lately to very great extent, in the billeting of soldiers. rtv seen that the Magistrates entered very strongly into the feeilugssf the oppressed body, who are now petitioning the legislature bra removal of a portion of their grievances. Three cor po rals belonging to the royal marines, named King, John Locker, and John Norton, were brought before sitting Magistrate, charged with the following fraud : The three prisoners, who are attached to the Uutham division of marines, have been for some length of time recruiting for that corps in town. They have in consequence been in the habit of ap. plying at this office alternately for precepts for men belonging t o the division, which precepts were always grunted, upon applies. tion, and were then taken by the non-commusioned officer to the billeting constable of the parish to whom directed, whose duty it mss to make out billets upon licensed victuallers for the number of sus specified in the receipt. A billeting constable, belonging to the Beet Half-Hundred of Brixton, being astonished at the repeated visits of the three nun is question, with precepts irons Union Hall, saap.cted that all i n not right, and determined to look strictly the person who should next present himself with one of those orders. Accordingly one of the prisoners came to him some days ago, with a precept from Union Hall, to fill up billets for seven men, which being dooe, the constable watched the corporal, and soon disc overed, that mud of sending the man named in the billet on the publican, he pe seined himself at each of the houses, and received a sum d otsasr from the landlord in lieu of the billet. This fact being Mr. Hall, the head constable, was informed of the areneutanee, and he gave the necessary directions, which mused the sprain sion of the offenders. Mr. Hall stated, that on Friday morning last the prisoner, Cs& poral King, came to the office, and stated that he wanted= to be filled up for seven men, viz.-two serjeants, two and three privates, which was granted. The billeting constable of Lambeth stated, that on the morning mentioned he tilled up seven billets for men for the prisoner King, upon different publications in that parish, after which he (the ('on. stable) proceeded to one of the houses in question sod moaned himself. lie had not been loog in this situation when King sp. peered, and handing in a billet to the landlord for a week's quartos, stated that he would " like to be paid out," having a wife is die family way, and near her lying-in, who would be a tradition customer. At this house :the sign of the Red Lion, Nana.) the prisoner received Ss. from the landlord ; and thence ho t m: to another house, and received a similar sum, until at was apprehended by the coastable, who on searching kinsl that he had disposed of all the billets except one in the usootiiii The two other prisoners wan taken into custody the same *par Pople the officer. A great number of licensed victuallers attended, and identified . the prisoners, whom they stated as having received money Iran them instead of billets, upon several occasion. The whole of the billeting constables of the East Half-limits& of Brixton identified the prisoners, whom they had served with billets, by virtue of the prece is how a eP tes es a Recently they (the constables) had the impsideespee• tised by those men upon the lammed victuallers. The .Magistrate observed that this was amu elesieleiss Rind practised upon a body of respeetahlo men, sin litusaleudy ep preseel enough, without the addition of thi s pass imposition. Mara hownder, commander of the Chatham divide@ ei Alight*, said that be was authorized to state, that if the mimesis ens given out of the hoods of the civil power, they should be severely punished at the depot for their conduct. The :Magistrate said that he would leave it entirely tithe dis. action of the licensed victuallers who had been impead spa to the men. if they wished to pros the are against the pride" in would certainly feel it his duty to ss commit them for trial hi She Palk demeanour ; but, he added, the party aggrieved would be us heavy expense in prosecuting; and if the son were kiss up fele military power, he (the Magistrate) had eery little doubt but do they would be dealt with according to their deserts. This suggestion was agreed to by the licensed victuallers. The prisoners were then released from the custody of the rind power, and immediately placed under arrest, and marched off, under as escort, to the depot. At present there are upwards of one hundred for trial in Kent, many of whose crimes are of heinous nature. ••••••••••... •••••••••• MLL•NCHOLY INSTANCE Or SODDEN DEATH.-Oa Thursday last, 31r. Thome.'
