plaintiff! M. fferjeant Owes and Mr. MILNER for the de. lerilantg. Mr. A Li:ZANDER opened the pleadings • and Mr. Scaairrr stated the case to the jury. He prefaced his opening address by saying, that he should not be doing justice to his own ft chap, if he were not to tell the Jury. that he had not the elighteat complaint to make against her Ladyship ; on the con trary, he had every reason to speak of her as possessing the most amiable qualities of her sex ; I..nd he had the greatest esteem for her lamented and worthy consort Sir Watts Horton. whose friend. ship he remembered, and ever should, with affectionate regard. (Here the Learned Oentleman paused, and was observed to be very powerfully a ff ected•.) The tat is of the case were shortly these. The plaintiff was a woolstapler at Halifax, and the defend. nen (Lady Horton) was the widow of Sir Watts Horton, late of Uhailering. near Rochdale, who died the 211th of November, 1811. On his death it appeared that Lady Horton, and her only child, ,flies. Horton, took by his will a parcel of ground which he pos. seated at Halifax, and disposed of it in lots, for which four por t:its...7s came forward. The plaintiff was one, and Sir John Lee, of Roehdale, who had been for many years the steward and agent to Sir Watts. and enntivued to bear the like offices to her Lady el•ip and Mks Horton, was employed to make the conveyance, witch was done by way of feoffment. The decd of May. 1813, set out In the declaration that her Ladyship and bliss Horton granted to the plaintiff a plot of land in Thomas-street, in Halifax, in fee. subject to a certain ground-rent, and by that deed her Lady ship and Miss Horton entered into covenant the right to convey, with peaceable enquirement, without interruption by Lady Horton or :11 , tis Horton. Upon the execution of this deed the plaintiff en.' tere.i uenn the ground, and. built revere! messuages. In 11121. the 1 plaintiff was served with a notice by the agent of G. Morrett, Esq. of linarbPsrk, apprising them that, by a mortgage of May 24, 1;92. Sir W atts London, spinster, then the wife of the said Monett, the ground-rent reserved by the feoffment had been assigned by Miss Stanley, in whose right Mr. 111orrett was entitled to it, and requiring that h should he paid to him in future. This mortgage was complete surprise upon the plaintiff; although it made no difference to him to whom he paid his rent. Other demands taring been ;rtie upon them, the plaintiff declined paying any more, when a diitress was made upon the plaintiff's property, on the premises, fir the arrears of rent, 1741.31. Rd. The plaintiff, to avoid trouble, paid his proportion, being 7111.65. Sd. to a Mr. Head, who gave j him a receipt. Another distress following, the plaintiff applied to ber Ladyship and her solicitor In vain, when plaintiff sought his remedy, in a Court of Justice, for a breach of covenant. The deed of feoffment being proved, a verdict was taken for the plaintiff—Damages 1311. Is.

Homy !Fells, a lad of respectable appearance, was found guilty of stealing, on the 3d of March, a silk handkerchief, from the person of a man whose name is unknown. The prisoner's brother, a person of respectability, addressed the t ours with tears in his eyes, and interceded for his unfortunate re. !mire. He stated that the prisoner had been In town several months under his eye, and his general character had been ex emplary until lately, when he feared he had been led astray by s.:+rming nn imptoper connexion. If the Court would pass a lenient sentence, he would provide fur and take eaten( him. The CHM R %lAN said the Court felt sorry on account of Mr. tl'elles situation, and they would consult together what was best to be done. Addressing the prisoner, he told him that it was a for tunate thing for him that he had so respectable and kind a brother, tut fur which circumstance the Court would have passed a much liravier sentence than it was about to pass. Hoping that this would I:e a warning to him, the sentence of the Court was, that he be im •nr•mted for two calends? months In the House of Correction, and kept to hard labour. Directly after the prisoner left the Court, his associate in the robbery, who, forgetting the old proverb " Harm watch, harm citch," was waiting in the lobby to know the fate of his compa nies. was identified and brought Into Court, when the Magistrate ordered hint to be detained and a bill preferred against him.

The patrol than conducted him to the above office, when the witnesses who Fad given evidence against Wells for the robbery, distinctly swore to the prisoner Piercy at being the person with him at the time the p ursuit took place, and the lad who attempted the rescue. The prisoner had nothing to say in his defence, and he was fully committed to take his trial at the ensuing Middlesex Sessions. haccitn ILL-THF.ATNIENT TO AN INFANT. —Sarah Pond, a pauper in St. Margaret's workhouve, was brought up to answer tt complaint preferred against her for ill-treating an infant female, 17 months oil, entrusted to bee Cite. 31r. Starnell, one of the overseers, said that in consequence of irArmation which he received, that a report prevailed of an infant being ill-used in the house by one of their inmates, he ordered an it %eisttgatinn of the matter, and had now ordered the woman for tu answer the charge. Mr. WHIT E asked the woman what she had to say ; when the accused declared that site never did ill-use the child or beat it. Two p.tupers were now called to prove the facts of the case, but neither could say they eter saw the child slapped or beat, although tl.e repeatedly heard it cry latterly. ' t oe mother of the infant here produced the marks on the child's rigl, thigh and leg. and front the appearance it seemed to have been beat with a rod.

He had net seen the prisoner since until he saw him in custody.—Committed for trial. LAM BErif.STREET. 1101tRI8LE Denney yr r.—An instance of es gross depravity as, perhaps, ever called for the severest judicial punishment, was en Saturday last submitted to the notice of the MaOstrates of this office. A female, named Gregory, was brought up iu custody of the perish officer of Mile-end. Newtown, charged with having committed robberies in the work-house, and having inveigled two little girls and two boys from within its walls, and leading the former into bab:ta of prostitution d the lanes into those of theft. From the evidence it apppre pr i soner was in the work. house, and had been appointed took en. (in Monday last. having previously made tbecht red steal every thing they could lay their hands on. and packed up the things in a bundle, she helped them over the wall of the workhouse, and in the evening escaped herself. They met at an appointed place. and she took them to that sink of iniquity, Rose-lane, where she hired a lodg ing. Leaving the boys and one of the girls there, she took the other, named Sally Johnston, whu, by her appearance, could not be more than twelve years of age, to a publie.hluse opposite the Royalty Theatre, whew, having made her intoxicated, she hended her over to the loose desires of a soldier. _ . The children were minutely examined by the Megistrates, and gave a detail of infamy so excessive as scarcely to be credible. The prisoner was remanded for further examination, in order to give time to bring home the charge of theft against her, that she might not go a• . tngeiher unpunished. as the other charge, though t crime of a deeper dye, cannot, it is feared, be conclusively estab lished. 1:NION HALL. ....... On Saturday an interesting looking young woman, named Ana Phi Mpg, was charged on anspicion of plundering her master, Mr. Smith, of Hanover-place, Kent-mad. The prisoner, it appeared, had only very reeemly come to bon don from a village near Portsmouth, and about a fortnight back became an inmate of the prosecutor's house. Some poultry be ing missed from the premises, she said she had heard noises in the night-dine, and had seen some thieves in the garden. Her master observed, that if they repeated their visit she might firs at them, as there was a loided gun in the house ; and according to her statement she did fire, and wounded some man who came into the garden ; in proof of which, she pointed out some red marks, like spots of blood, in the path, which, on more minute inspeetinn, proved to be drops of some liquid kept for cleaning fur niture, which fact the prisoner admitted to be true. She ally ae knowledge(' Meting become acquainted with a young man whb had persuaded her to plunder her employer. The prisoner cried bitterly inslte course of the examination. Mr. Smith said, that be dhl not wish to press the charge, having only missed a few trifling articles, and believing that the prisoner had datmitted the offence under the influence of a vicious com panion. A letter was then handed to the Magistrate from a respectable tradesman, who knew the prisoner's parents, stating that they would immediately receive their daughter again if his Worship would be pleased to discharge her. She was remanded until her friends should be apprised of her situation. THE RECENT ABDUCTION. FURTHER PARTIC•JLARS. The reports which hare been circulated respecting the age and situation in life of Levard Gibbon Wakeflell. are very incorrect. It has been said that he is upwards of 40. and thit he Is in indigent circumstances; whereas he is only 30, and ha at present an income of lima per annum, with an early prospect of its tieing increased to 3000/., and in the event of his two chiltren dying bcfore they attain their respective majorities, 70,0001. will devolve to him. He is represented as a very elegant and personable young man, intelligent and well educated. His brother William. who is now in custody, is much younger than himself. and equally prepossessing. Their father is now a candidate for the fermentation of Reading. and the , ' are the nephews of a most respectable Chancery Barrister. vn Thursday afternoon Mr.W.Wakelield arrived:by the Defiance mach, at Rtockport, in custody of Barrett, the keeper of the New Bailey; and, the following morning. about ten o'clock, he was con. veyed before Mr. Legit. a; Disney, the Magistrate who had issued the warrant, where Miss Turner and her father appeared and gave evidence. The young lady gave a minute detail of all the facts, pretty nearly as they have already appeared ; and Mr. Turner de posed to his having landed property, which will descend to his daughter, and she is therefore his heir apparent. This latter testi. crony was given with a view to bring the case within the statutes which make the offence capital. The old gentleman was extremely violent before the Magistrate, and culled the prisoner a villain ; to which the latter made no answer, and only noticed the epithet by ' respectfully bowing. The Magistrate complimented him on the propriety of his demeanour ;—to which he replied, that he hoped he did not require to be taught how to behave himself as a gentle man. Mr. Orimsditch, the solicitor, also gave evidence to disprove the statement made by the Wakefields, that ha had advised that Miss Turner should marry Edward Gibbon Wakefield, to nlicve her father from his difficulties. At the dose of the examination, Mr. Grimsditch said it would be necessary to postpone the final hearing until the governess, from whose house Miss Turner was taken at Liverpool, could attend. Mr. Wakefield, on the other hand, pressed for his cue to be im mediately determined, in order that he might be admitted to bail (if the charge was bailable); and Dr. Davis, a gentleman of high respectability, residing in lilacelesfield, offered to become bail for the accused to any amount. The Magistrate, however, declined taking bail, and adjourned the further hearing of the case till Monday, atiwo o'clock. Mr. Vakefield ‘ was accordingly taken back to Eitotiport ; and Mr. Harmer, who arrived by the mail just after his return. visited him in the New Bailey. The case excites the most lively interest throughout the counties of Cheshire and Laneashire.—Coantry Purr. DE.1711 OF BENJAMIN HALL, ESQ. An awful instance of sudden death occurred on Friday niaht. at Drury-lane Theatre. Mr. Benjamin Hall, banker, of Dublin, and principal partner in the him of Hall and Co., of that place, whilst sitting, surrounded by his friends, in a private box, sud denly dropped back and expired. The anxiety of his friends to have the inquisition immediately taken was so great, that the beadle was actually despatched at the early hour of one o'clock in the morning to the residence cp` the Coroner. Thomas Higgs : whom he knocked op ; and hay. ing announced his busmen,. obtained a warrant, under which a Jury assembled at nine o'clock on Saturday morning, at the Crown am] Cushion public-house. In Little Russell-street. The tollowing WAS the evidence taken on the occasion : Ale. J.e.m Cole, surgeon, of Great Russel-street. stated that he was sent for about 12 o'clock on Friday night, and found the de. ceased in a private room, in Drury-lane Theatre, supported by as sistants, who were endeavouring to restore him. On examination witness (wind he was quite dead. The body was quite warm. He opened a. rein, hut no blood issued. Mr. Wm. West deposed, that about five minutes before the dropping of the cumin, he heard that the deceased was taken ill. He immediately attended t the deceased watt, when he adrived, in a passage opposite the door of box So. I. Some of his friends were with him. and also the box-keeper. The deceased was quite sense_ less. He was taken into a private room. One of his friends told witness that the deceased was suddenly taken ill while sitting in the bcfore-mentioned box. ‘Vittiess understood that the gentleman who gave him this information had left town immediately after the melancholy event, for the purpose of ernarnaMeatiag it to some of the deceased's friends, residing in Sussex. There being no other evitlmee, the Coroner summed up to the Jury, telling them that although it would have been more eadsfac. tory if the gentleman who sus with the (I:ceased had attended to give his evidence, ►till, if they were satisfied that the decemeddied a natural death, it would be unnecessary to adjourn to obtain his attendance. If, on the contrary, they were not satisfied, he would adjourn the inquest to any hour which might be convenient to than. The inquest had been held that early, for the eapresa pur pose of accommodating the unfortunate gentleman's friends, and it was, therefore, the more surprising they 'mould be absent. The Foreman of the Jury, after consulting his brethren, stated, that they were unanimous in their opinion •• that the deceased had died a natural death, by the visitation of God." Just after the verdict bad been recorded. and the Court was about breaking up, the gentleman bethre alluded to entered the room. The Coroner informed him of the result of the proceedings, and that the Court b.ing dissolved, he could not take hit deposition. A statement of the NMI of the case might, however, be satisfactory to the Jury. The gentleman (hit name did not transpire) said be entail merely have proved the Get of the deceased having suddenly fallen back and expired, while sitting with him, viewing the perFormance. He was upwards of 70 years old, and was principal partner io the banking firm of Hall and Co. at Dablitt. For some time lie had laboured under an affection of the lungs, and bud come up to this metropolis a few months back, for the purpose of obtaining medical advice. The deceased was a fine looking man, and was apparently in a Stitt of robust health. THE BRITISH PRESS. DISTRESSINC: SUICIDE• We regret to annonnee the death of a highly respected irAl iv i d n al , 111 r. Plaistowe, of itickusanawonn. Herta,' under 'cireutlisilances most painful ta his immediate connexions and triends. Mr. Plats :owe was an old resident of that town. and for some yenta had oc cupied a large paper mill there. etnplloiing about sixty persons in that department, and in apiculture. He was an active tudividual anti had filled at dillerent perieds the various parish offices, aril in deed at the time of hie death teas one of the churchrrardeas. On Friday morning he rove at his usual hour and took breakfast with his family. Ile then proceeded from the parlsnr, having secreted a breakfast knife, and went into the harness room, where he very deliberately at down on a renal, onhattoned his coat, which he always wore dose up to the throat, took off tit 3 cravats, and gave himself a severe • stab in the !hroat. He then walked, the blood Sowing ell the wry, across the yard, a distance of about t'XI yards. and stepping into a boat usually lying at that spot threw himself into the mill head. This last eircun.stance was observed by a child of one of In. manufacturers, who ran into the mill and said that Air. P. had fallen into the water. Assistance was Immediately afforded, aati he was taken oat after the I _ 'pee of three or four minutes, at which time life was not extinct. A mnateager nay sent off into the town for medics' assistance, but brfore it arrived he ceased to breath. livery possible means of resuscitation was resorted to by the highly respectable professional p s.sons suaimuned, but witheut effect.e His earthly career was closed. An express was tent off to Hertford, requiring the attendance of the Coroner . (:Ilr. Hooke), end in the evening he arrived. A Jury were inunrdsately summoned, and they proceeded to view the body, after which they examined three witnesses, by whim) testimony it appeared, that for some time past Air. Plaistowe had evinced a considerable depression of spirits. walking . with his arms feldete , and indulging in exclamations of" What is to become of me;" the whole tending to show souse heavy calamity, imaginary or real, to be pressing on his mind. The Jury, without hesitation, retarned ft verdict of " Insanity." Mr. Plaistowe was twice married, anti at lb; period of his death bad seven children living by both marriages. It is hardly possible to conceive the sensation occasioned by the promulgation of this fatal intelligence in Rickmanswerth, particularly as it was the day of the annual meeting of the perish officers to settle the accounts of the year. It is needless to observe. that • meeting, pro forma, took place, and that a short adjournment was immediately , deter. mined on. It is supposed that the late failures have tended to pro duce this calamity; but as Mr. Plaistowe was entirely the dullest tory of his own secrets, every thing as let rests upon supposition. He was sixty-one years of age, and considered one of the strangest. minded men of the neighbourhood in which he resided. As a master he was beloved by his workmen, and in his conduct as a parish officer we are given to understand his conduct was ex emplary. DREADPUL ACCIDENT. [From the Manchester Guardian of Saturday.] About half-past two o'clock yesterday afternoon the neighbour. hood of the Collegiate Church was thrown into great consternation by the sudden fall of a public-house, known by the sign of Von Blucher, situated near the Old Bridge. Most of our readers will probably recoiled that a fire took place last year in the premises occupied by Mr. Drew, grocer and provi sion-dealer, in Did Bridge-street, which were entirely destroyed, and have never since been rebuilt (owing, we believe, to an inten tion which at one time existed of carrying a road to Strangeways over the site of them). These premises adjoined the Blucher pub lic-house, which was probably one of the oldest buildings in town, and constructed partly of timber, which appears to:have been greatly decayed. Since the fire, it has lost the support it received from Mr. Drew's premises, and has been gradually giving way ever since, though no apprehensions of immediate danger were enter. tallied by the family. About half.past two o'clock yesterday, how. ever, the whole front part of the building fell at once, with a dread ful crash, giving very little warning to the inmates. Mr. Parr's family consisted of himself, his wife, a brewer, and two Whale servants. Mr. Parr was not In die house, and the others hap. pered fortunately to be at the back of the premises, and made their escape through the back windows, without injury. Three or four guests were in tile tap-room (which forms the ground-floor), all of whom very narrowly escaped. as the greater part of the room in which they were seated was filled with the rubbish from the roof and upper stories: none of them, happily, received any injury, and they all made their way out at the front in a few minutes after the accident. A poor girl, however, about six years old, named Sarah Wright, who was in the street at the time, was crushed to death. It appiars that the mother of the unfortunate girl has lately been in the habit of standing in front of the public-house wiih a skip, for the purpose of selling calico tents and other small articles of that kind. About a minute before the accident she had gone into the house to warm herself at the fire, leaving her daughter to take care of the property. The poor little creature, at the moment when the building was falling, was standing under the impending ruin, perfectly unconscious of her danger. He made an cant to rescue her, but the fall of the building was so rapid as to render it ineffectual, and he narrowly escaped with his life, for the whole from of the house fell into the street, and overwhelmed the girl in an instant. Every exertion was, of course, immediately used to extricate her, end she was dug out in a few minutes, but was per. fectly dead. The mother escaped, we believe uninjured. We understand it is only about two years since the back part of the same premises fell in a similar manner, when several of Mr. Parr's family narrowly escaped. Had this accident occurred during the night, and more especially if It had taken place during the busy period of the market on this day, the probability is that the consequences would have been much more lamentable ; as not only would the street have been crowded with people, but the horse itself would have contained many guests; and it is not probable that they could all have escaped with their lives. Accounts were received on Saturday from Demerara to the 7th February ; the colony was healthy, and the weather tine. Tqe new regulatiors for the treatment of t h e slaves were carried into execution without complaint, except the new regulations respecting the female slaves. The stocks, and the painful attitude they are placed in for a certain time, as a commutation for flogging, are ex claimed loudly against. The heat of the climate, and the exposure to the insects, particularly to the bite of the musquito, are stated to be grievously felt by these poor wretches, more keenly than the lash. Colonel Young is appointed protector of slaves in the colony, with &salary of 2,00(11. per annum. DEATH OF NIR. FAULKNER, PROPRIETOR OF THE YORK THEATRE.—We arc sorry to announce the melancholy death of this amiable man. It appears that he wandered from los home, in Castlegate, on Friday, to the banks of the Ouze, and his hat and stick were found a few yards from the cold bath. His body was found about half-past six o'clock the following morninfi. The deceased, it is said, has been labouring under a depression of epithet* or some days. It is the subject of conversation of the whole city of York. The Theatre is closed. The deceased, we believe, was a widower, and has left five small children to lament his melancholy loss. We have the melancholy duty of announcing the death of Colonel Delancey Barclay, in the prince of life, at his house at Tellingbourn. The Colonel had for many years been in a confi dential situation at head-quarters ; was Companion of the Bath, and Aid-de-Camp to the King. lie was a most amiable and highly popular person, and his loss, deeply lamented as it will be, is ren dered more strik.ng by t h e tut, that his Lady had been confined but a very fcw days. Tire CONVICT CATHERINE Fertnts.—On Thursday evening an order was received from the office of the Right Hon. the Secretary for the How Department. commanding the enlarge ment of this unfortunate• female from the gaol of Ncwgate, in the cells of which site had been confined for nearly twelve months past, waiting in anxious suspense the moment when the" last dread flat" of the law would be carried into execution, for the alleged commis sion of a crime, of which. it has since been ascertained, she had been perfectly guiltless. The circumstances attendant on her ap prehension and subsequent liberation are Welly these :—ln the early part of last spring a Mr. Marsh, while passing through Wentwerth;street, Whitechapci, was robbed by three of the aban dcned females valentine thasmiatilsourhood, of a coosiderable SIAM of money. Ile lodged In:Om:adore of the occurrence at Lambeth street office, and from the drecription he then gave of the persons of those who plundered him, suspicion became attached to Ferris, and a girl named Davis. who in conaequenee were taken into cus tody, and, on the identification of air. Marsh, fully committed to Newgate.
