D. F. doers—When I went to dirs. Stewart's shop, I did not see either of the prisoners there I knew •• tat the prisoners' property was seized by the Police, and I believe they had no means of paying the expense of their defence until I made an advance to them since the commencement of the Assizes. Re-examined-1 cat ertil to make them an advance of money a month ago. James Bradburn, who made the model produced in Court, swore that it was a correct one. Ale. Sergeant l'itoss—That's the case fur the prosecution. The prisoners having been asked if they had any thing to ray In their defence, Alexander M'Kean said, be knew nothing of the minder: that Ire had not seen his brother for three weeks before the 22d of May; Vial lie was in the habit of frequenting Mr. Blears's house; that o.t tee evening of the said day he went to the house to take a glees of grog; that he got very tipsy ; that the landlord struck hint, and raid, he (the landlord) could drink as much as three such fellows a. the prisoners, and that he (the prisoner) then fell asleep upon the . eel, about half-past nine o'clock, and did not know what passed eiterwards. The prisoner, Michael 1111Cettn, in hie defence, said that he went to Blears'o house (in which he had never been but once before) in order to take a glass of ale, whilst his brother, whom he had ac. euegranied from Manchester, waited at a house about a quarter of a mutt from Blears's house, in order to settle some accounts. The pruoner here detailed what reseed at the bar, and concluded by statics, that his brother was drunk upon the sofa ; that he (the prisoner) had taken too much liquor ; slat lie remembered little of abut 1144 passed, and that he could, with a clear conscience, appear before the great Clod of Heaven, and say, that he had never taken any a capon to commit a murder, or to aid any one in committing usurder. J metre PARK—[lave the prisoners any thing elm to say? .ignlichael Al - Kean— lie had not been uric to prepare his defence eteitsquence of not having been supplied with sufficient money (unit about four days ago. lie knew that his life hung up en a •ere slender thread, and probably he had but a short time hi live, need it would be therefore wrong in him to state a falseheo I ; but he 'detested, in the presence of Gal anti man, that in this transaction ;to bad nothing to animer kr, and he should leave it to his lewd. Shitin&hd tee Joey to return whatever verdict they might think fit. Mr Justice PARK ' in summing up the evidence, told the Jury that if they believed Ale:ender M•lieand was the person who lied com ttt i t ted this deed, lie was guilty of murder, although when he entered the house, or when he went up stairs, he had no in . tendon to do no, title to do that whicn had been insinuated by tile questions put by his Learned Counsel. If the Jury ehould be of opinien that such wee his original intention, anti that the other prisoner went to the house for the purpose of siding him to carry that Intention into effect, then the prisoner, Michael. could not lie found guilty of the charge in this indictment ; but if the inten tion of the Innen.; Alexander, was to commit murder, and that tee other prisoner went to Blears% house to nil anti assist Alex ander. he (Michael) was as guilty, by remaining at the foot of the mire, as if he had been to die room when tire murder was neentrieted. With respect to the question of melice, he was binind to tell the Jury that it' they believed Alexander had dime the deed, tt would not be necessary for them to tike any pains to find out shit might have been his reason for doing so, because the law, in all such nom preowned muliee. When hie Lordship had concluded hie summing ue— Michael 31lieand—lt had been sail that he had been repre seated to have done this act fire the purpose of getting the money in Mr. Blears's house. He had no necessity for the ittoney, as he was able to get sulEcient to supply his wants : and had often leapt in rooms where there were different persons who had money, but he had never been charged with any thing before this unfortu. nate business. Ha had been five nr six years in England; had W eisel avoided public house,, sod had never been, during that tune, the worse for liquor more than twice. He had not had suf ficient oppurtunities to prepare his defence, and he had been very Millen scandalized in tire newspapers. 11r. Justice PARK—With respect to the lance anterdon made by the prisoner, he (Mr. Justice Park) meet wry, it was a grievous evil if every case which is to be brought into a Court is to be die. cussed in the newspaper t and, if such I course be per.ieted in, the instice of the country will be paralyzed. He meted. however, that We Jurors would remember. that their duty was to decide upon the evidence, and upon that alone. anti rent to stiffer therneelves to be influenced by any thing which they might have heard or read before they entered the jury -has. The Jury having retired for about seven minutes, returned into Court. and foueil the prironere--elethy. Mr. Justice Poor. who was aGicied even in learn, pronounced atm awful sentence of ter law, that the prisoners be hanged on Mon. eise next, and their bodies be dissected and anatomised, pursuant to the statute. The prisoners heard the sentence perfectly unmoved, one Michael ,M.Keanil, upon leaving the her, said, I have been now innvicted pf . the charge. I have never commieed the murder. I never in. tended to ceininit a niertier. Whale% er my brother may have done, nis too much that I should he anisw.rable for it. declare this bake God, who sees what pauses within mc, and from whom it is useleso to conceal any thing. CIVIL SIDE. (Before Mr. Baron Hi LLOCI ands Special Jitry.) mose. Len O. WALlifn. This was au action brought by Sir Oswald hloseley to determine le tight to certain toile alleged to be e.Le and payable to the plain. thrall Lord of the Manor of Alanche.ter. It was proved that. by a grant of Edward the First, the Lord of the Manor was entitled to receive tolls on all lish, vegetables, and butcher meat sold within the precincts of the manor, and that he had appointed a market for thn tale of those articles at a place called the Old Market, in Man cheater. The defemlant had hired a stand in the market, for which he hail paid rent to the plaintiff, but he had also hired a house at the corner of the street immediately adjoining the market, and had there sold lish without time license of the plaintiff. It was contended, by Mr. SCARLETT, that the sale of fish at the adjoining house was an infringement of the plaintiff's right, and that the defendant was liable to pay toll in respect thereof. Mr. Ilancortaas, for the defendant, argued that the law had never intended to deprive the inhabitants of so large a town as Man chester of the right of selling fish, meat, or vegetables In their own houses, and attempted to prove an usage contrary to the right claimed by the Lord of the Manor. The witnesses called to support the usage were, however, prin cipally psnons in the wholesale fish trade, and did not show the existence of any custom to retail fish without license. The Jury, under the direction of the Learned Judge. found a (mullet for the plaintiff. At the same time, the Foreman handed to Mr. Baron Bullock a paper for his perusal. llis LoansittP, having read it, abscised, that it ought properly to have been given to Mr. Searlett. It was accordingly handed to that Learned Gentleman, who maid that the plaintiff would be happy to attend to any suggestion cooling from so respectable a quarter. Mr. Scarlett then put the paper in his pocket. Mr. BROUGHAM expressed a wish to see the document which had just been handed to his Learned Friend. Mr. SCARLRTT appeared to hesitate, and did not immediately comply with Mr. Brougham's request. Mr. BROUGHAM then appealed to the Learned Judge, and asked whether, in his opinion, he (Mr. Brougham) was not entitled to peruse the contents of the paper ? Mr. Baron II u Luicx answered in the affirmative. Mr. SCAULETT—IIe shall see it, my Lord. hut lie need not have made a question of it now. lie mast have known that I in tended to give it him. Mr. BROUGHAM—I (lid not know it. How could I, when you put the paper in your pocket ? The paper was then handed to the Learned Gentleman, win' pe rused it, and returned it tmi Mr. &Arlen. S• 1 t POLICE. ROBBERY AT ST. GEORGE'S HOSPITAL Alas L 110R01701144T RE ET.-01 Saturday William Mnvninr, an outpatient of St. George's Hospital, was brought before Mr. Dyer, en suapieinn of having committed various thefts in the in stitution, and par;icalatly as to taking two cases of surgical instru ments. Thomas Charlton, the porter to the hospital, stated that the pri soner had been some time an out-pensioner. Lively two cases tf surgical instruments had been stolen from the surgery, which he suspected the prisoner to have taken. One of the gentlemen's hats had been removed from the place in which he left it, to a stove in the waiting-room, where it had been found by mere accident. The stove has a front that screws on, when a fire is not wanted, so that it would serve as a closet. After finding the hat in the stove, witness screwed the front up to the extent of the worm of the screw, with a determination to watch the thief who might go to the stove for the hat. That morning the prisoner came and asked for the surgeon, ,ho was not then in the way. There was a boy in the waiting room, whom the prisoner sent up stairs for a roller and bandage, to afford him the opportunity of looking into the stove in his absence; after which the prisoner went away without having his leg dressed. 11 itIICPS went into the room, and found that the stove had been un screwed. The prisoner was stopped, and given into the custody of Turner, the beadle. He had been at the hospital the day the hat had been removed to the stove:- As it was very likely the prisoner took the eases of instrutr.ents,witness wished to have a warrant to search his lodgings. Valentine, the officer, said the prisoner was a known thief, and a regular associate of thieves. Mr. DYER thought time was good ground to grant a warrant, and remanded the prisoner for further examination. TIIE BEGGARS' AMANUENSIS. Henry Sparing, a deformed little cripple of four feet high, who writes petitions for the beggars and defences for thieves, and acts their general instructor on all cases of moment, brought up Thomas Kinnard, his landlord, on an assault warrant. The complainant is so shockingly &famed that - Mr. Dyer said he was an improper object to be suffered in the street. His body is twisted sight and left, and his legs lock at every step, so that he shuffles only five or six inches at a move. Though he does not tusk charity, yet by placing his back against the rails , and supporting himself on his stick, many well.disposed persons Ore him money in pity of his deformity. Sparing applied at the 'Ace on Friday for a warrant to he granted him gratis. pleading his poverty, thott.rh veer decently dressed; but the Magistrate undetstanding the habits of the applicant, refused the warrant without the lee, with the ob. serration that if his complaint turned out to be well founded. the money should he returned to him. On Saturday Sparing and his landlord attended. Sparing said he owed his landlord 10s. for rent, for a lodging in George-yard ; that he paid him 4s. fid.. all the money he had, when Isis landlord broke into Isis room, on Wednesday, turned his things out of the place, broke his bedstead to pieces, and knocked his head against the wall. Valentine said the complainant was the constant companion of thieves, harbouring them, giving them advice, and writing pea- tions and letters fi;them. — -- Kinnard paid he had wanted to get rid of the complainant for some time. lie had a art of characters always in his place that he did not approve of. Sparing offered him pawn.tickets for the rent, which he refused, but let him take away part of his things. Know ing that the complainant had money, he (Kinnard) told him if he did not pay he would seize his pods, when the other toll him he was not going, and should not pay him till he went. Afterwards S n aring gave him a , hilling, and ultimately 3 s. 6 d. more , and he was thrust out of the room by one of his companions, named Collins, who told Sparing to go to the police office and swear his life in dan er. Defendant forced his way tow the room to g. - . 1 his hat, but did not assault him. Mr. DY Ell t 3 Sparing —You know I have reprc'iended you twenty times, and promised you an asylum for life, to keap you out of the streets. It is astonishing to me that the officeni do not take you up for begging. Sparing—l do not beg, your Worship; I get a good bit of money by writing. Mr. DYER—You may not ask for money ; but placing your back against the rails when ladies are passing i. all the same thing —that is begging. I shall discharge the warrant. Snaring—ls he (the landlord) not to pay the expenses? Mr. Man—No. I have discharged the warrant. AN INCORRIGIBLE BEGGAR. Samuel Murdie, an old beggar, well known for the last ten years, was brought to the office by the officers of the Mendicity Society. In his pocket was found a book of pictures and memoranda, one a registet of 21 commitments to Brixton, Bridge-street, Bridewell, and Tothillstields, fur various periods, from seven to twenty-one davit. He had a counterfeit sovereign and a bad sixpence. lie was committed to gaol for one month. CURIOI 7 S ACCUSATION. . . ...... Wm. Dalknwrr was brought up on a warrant, charging him with taking Miss glary Ann Gray to Mitcham fair. keeping her out all night. attempting her seduction, and calumniating her "fair fume," by an assertion that she was his whenever he pleased. Miss Gray, a girl about three and-twenty, said the defendant in vite] her to go with him in his chaise-cart from Kensington to Mitcham fair, which she consented to, on his promise to bring her bark safe. NV ken they got to Mitcham, he took her to a house, saying the people were friends of his, and would let her sleep with them ; instead of which, he endeavoured to persuade her to sleep with him, and becati‘e she would not he struck her in the side. She slept with the people of the house, and while they were walking , out next day, he told a young man who was behind them that he could have her when he pleased. Sht had known him two or three months. _ . • _ _ _ Dallemon said he went to her on Sunday afternoon, and asked her if ,he would go to the fair, when she told a young girl to my she would. On Tuecduy he took her in his cart to Mitcham, where they stopped oil night; she slept below and he up smiirs. lie never put the question to her about sleeping with hint. It he meant any thing bad, there was an opportunity on Sunday night. She re mained with him all next day, when he brought her back. He ne ver told the young twin what she had stated. She had run away from her father and mother, who had asked him to persuade her to return. Mary Ann admitted leaving her parents, whom site was deter mined never to live with again. Mr. DYER thought the complainant's conduct very strange, in staying all neat day with him, and asked what her object was in taking nut a warrant. Miss Gray said she only wished to be preserved from further mo. lestation. _ . . Mr. DYER said the warrant ,hould be kept open for one month, and if Dal amore molested her in that time, he would hold him to bail. Ana Arnold. a wretched-looking woman, of about GO, was charged by Mr. Charles Smith, No. 2011, Piccadilly, with making a disturbance and raising a mob at his house on Friday night. He stated that she was a distant relation to him, and was perpetually annoying him and other branches of the family.—lle had done every thing in his power to settle her comfortably in the country, :nit 10 no purpose. She constantly got rid of every thing, and return& to town. It was very hurtful to his feelings to make soch a complaint; but he was willing to make any arrangement to make her coin. • ((triable. provided she would cease her abuse snit annoyance. Mr. DYER remarked, that he could do nothing but hold her to bail, and asked her how she could Ju.,tify herself for such miscon. duct ? She replied, that when she we.tt to complainant's house she had no intention of making any disturbance, und promised to keep from his house in future. One of the Beadles stated that she lied been in his:custody several times within the last twelve months on the same charge. She ws ordered to find trail. NTEA LING. MANTLEnottE.—Or. Saturday, a man, calling himself John Beck, was brought to the office be George Whittnarsh. a watch• man, belonging to the Woods and Forests, on su-picion of stealing a quantity of harness. As the watchman was going his rsund at half-past live, the same morning, in the Regent's Park, he met two men curving a heavy load in a sack ; lie made sonio inquiry of them. and they told him their master was behind ; ehinkinG nil wax not right, he followed them, until he came up with 'llamas Down, a plicate watchman, employed by Mx.Mott, of Catobridgs Ter- THE BRITISH PRESS. race, and with his aisistance, and that of a stranger, he took them both into caatotly, and left them in the charge of D :wit and the stranger, while he went to the watch-house for assistance ; before he returned, Down and the stranger had 'offered the prisoners to es cape; one was entirely loot sight of. but Berk was again secured, and taken to the watch.housc.

An officer was sent to Tomkins, who knew the prisoner. hut said he had not peen him for tire or six month,. Mr. Haw LI wso w remanded the prisoner, and ordered :he private watchman (and the stranger, if possible) to be immediately brought before him. GENUINE CHARITY. Job Norton, a Northamptonshire man, who formerly kept a butcher's shop in Fitzroy market, with his wife and four children, the eldest eight or nine yearn of age. and the youngest at the breast, asked Mr. HAWLIVSOX'S advice. lie said that on Thursday„ being in the utmost distress, he applied to the overseers of St. Pan cras, his own parish, and they were taken Into the workhouse, but that on Friday, by oiler of the board, Ida. was given to him, and they were sent away. He walked the streets until t h e c hildren could proceed no further, endeavouring to procure a lodging, which every person refused to give him because of his family, and they must have remained out all night if it had not been for a lady, who took them to her house. A little kind-looking old lady, very neatly dressed, whose mime is Charlotte Sharp, and who bees at No. 211, Field-street, Bat tle.tridge, came forward, and said, that hearing a noise at the top of the sneer, between twelve alai one in the morning, she got out of bed, dressed herself, and went to see what was the matter ; nn her mad she found the poor man anti woman sitting together on the ground ; the oldest child was sitting at a distance by himself; two of the little girls were a.leep upon a piece of board, and the other was in her mother's arms. " I could not, your Worship," said she, " return V. my bed and hove the poor creatures in such distress, so I took them home, and I hope your Worship will be so good as to do something for them." The worthy lady had given up her own bed for the children's accommodation, and they had re , eived the benefit of a good washing and some additional clothing at her hands before they came to the el e. Mr. RAWLISSON asked her italic knees any thing of the family ? She -aid she never raw them before. 31i: Raw LI Ksh st—'• You hsve really done a very kind act, and I am sure the recollection of it will afford you satisfaction on a future tiny. I will immediately send an officer with them to the workhouse, and if the parish will not provide for them, bring them back to me." The lady dropped a low curtsey, and accompanied 'the patties to the workhouse. ASSAULT. Major Spooner was charged by Morris Hart, of No 7, Holywell street, Strand, with an assault. Hart said, that on Thursday, when he took tome damask table cloths and napkins to the Major's house, in Bentinck-street, tvhi.li the Major had botight of his fattier, a dispute arose about the qua lity, and the Major refused to pay for them ; he threw the nap kins, &e. about toe fi tor, locked the parlour door, knocked him down, called Itim an impostor, anti kept beating him, although he cried " Murder !" and " Mercy !" until at last he kicked him out of the house, and he was very much injured by a kick which I. c received at the street door. John Lomath, a stranger, who was passing by, witnessed the last kick. . The Major acknowledged that he did kick the complainant out of the house., as a reward, he said, for his insolence. He was ordered to find bail, hirotelf in Of. and two sureties in 20/. each, to answer the charge at the Sessions. SHOOTERS. - - - Paddington Tom, aliasThornasVa . rley,was charged with assault. Ingand beating Charles Elliott. What are you r' said Mr. Rawmusou to Elliott, when he got up to prefer his chatge. " A shooter, air," replied Elliott. " A shooter I" said Mr. Itawtixsost, "what do you mean by a shooter ?" ‘ 6 It's the same thing as a cad to other coaches," replied Elliott, " but we Paddington cads are shooters." The etymology of the term put Mr. Rawlinson to the puzzle. Elliott could throw no light upon the subject further than that it was a new name for Cad, to which, by way of pre.eminence, the. guards of Paddington coaches are alone entided. The word 6' guard" seemed to assist Mr. Rawllmion in his ideas, anti he concluded, that as guards occasionally carry blun derbusses, the word " shooter" owed its derivation to that CiTCIIOI. stance. in a " bit of lark," Joe Mellish, another shooter, stole Charles Elliott's dinner out of the dickey. and gave it to Paddington Tom. and he said, rays he, " Tom, here's Charley's dinner." Thinking it no joke to lose his dinner, Charley' ` takes up his fiat, and knocks Paddington Tom down ;" and thus originated the amain. Mr. HAWLINSON ordered Tom to find bail. The parties soon rent-lied, to say that they had settled the matter, by Toni giving Os. to Charley. Mr. Rawilssort said he would consent to no such arrangement. 1 he Paddington 'shooters are a perpetual nuisance to the plaid c, and unless Tom gave an additional bit. to some charity the case must go to the sessions. This did not meet with Paddington Tom's approbation, and he was locked up. A NEW WAY TO PROCURE A SUNDAY'S DINNER. On Saturday evening George Bottler was committed to New. gate by Mr. RawListsort, for having obtained a quantity of beef as follows:—On Saturday morning the prisoner, who is a jobbing journeyman butcher, watched the delivery of some beef , by Mr. Dexter's boy, of Paddington-streets to Gen. Ash's, IT,, Gloucester place, and Mr. Simpson's, 71, Gloucester-place, ten minutes after Mr. Dexter's servant had lett the joints, which weighed and 231 b. The prisoner came for them in Mr. Dexter's name, saying there was an error in the weight, and by this means he obtained possession of them. In his defence, Rather said it was no robbery, for he was very poor, and completely forced to do it. He had given the beef to a t dent!, whose name he did not know, in Somers Town, and he was going to partake of it on Sunday. MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS.

Mr. BRODF.Hir addressed the prisoner, and said, on Tuesday evening you, nasalise my advice, insisted on entering on your de. fence. I apprized you of the consequence of so doing, without the advice of a professional mean, and warned you that every thing you should say would be committed to writing, and might operate against y o u elsewhere; but teal you would persist, and what you have said 1 have taken down, so I pray you to be attentive while I read it. Mr. BRODERIP then read the follnielng statement of the pri soner :—I 1 , 18.1 a seaman on board the Kent in September last ; I was in a boat over the forecastle, arranging some harpoons and boat irons; it was exactly twelve o'clock ; the Captain sung out for dinner; I went down to get thinner; the other men were at meas. I went to get something to draw toy grub with ; I got a ladle which was made of a cocoa.aliell to get some vinegar to put into the pea soup. Barnard. a seaman, asked me, " Have you nothing else to bale your soup with ? I said not; I took it. and baled the soup. Christopher said, " That's a noble chap." I said, " I am no more a chap than you are-1 have a name in the warel as well as you have; call me by my name." He said, I suppose you want to bully. Tate said, it was a decent trick—he never saw such done before. I said it was often practised ;he said no—so I hove the amnia nut-shell at him, vinegar and all. Cannot recollect the an. swer he made ; if it was to save my life I cannot recollect it. I nail him, if he would not give over aggravating me I should strike him ; he said, don't be afraid, lam not afraid. Christopher. He sail they were sending missionaries to naturalize the savages of New %edam!, and it would be touch better to keep them at home, and send them to naturalize that part of the country 1 came from. This ageravated me. I struck him; he had a knite in his hand; I said, Tate, do you intend to stab me I had a knife in my left hand ; he shoved his knife against my chest, and under the appre hension of lasing my life I made use of the knife I had, and 1 had no other way of ea:aping except by filling over the chest, which was impossible. Richard Christopher was again called, and he made a further deposition. Ile said that he did not see Tate, the deceased, strike the prisoner ; he was not minding mulch, but was eating his dinner. It might be possible that the deceased struck, or attempted to strike the plias - Ear with a knife. The deceased did not rise up after being slabbed Siete was no setae. He certainly saw prisoner get up from where he was silting. and strike the deceased first. Mr. [Satirical' , begged to know from the witness, how long It was from the time lie fiat saw the prisoner strike the decea sed, until he saw the blood gush out from his side a—The witness said, about five minutes. Mr. BRODEnt ti observed, that five minutes was a long time; anti lie requested 'lle witness to state how lie was occupied from the period he saw the primitive strike the deceased the tirat blow, until It saw the tarsal flowing from the &related's wouhd ?—The wittiest replied, that lie was caning hi: , dinner, and lied jam gnt some broth, and had time between the first blow and the fatal stub to takt four spttonhh's of it, and break part of • biscuit into it ; he was eating his dinner in the ordinary way ; the broth was not over hot ; he had not handled hie dinner. He was quite disgusted ; he could eat no more when be saw the blood of the deceased cull' into die ea- haw° and the other w cutting the to . - • "1 7;0 kora' es were here produced, thitehoowieliweriithhewhwiecshidtaecbcbroed.d identified them both. Frederick Robinson SWODl—Mtated that he in surgeon of the ship Kent, South-seaman ; ha recollects the 19th of September. They were about two dare sail from the Wand of Whahoo, one of the Sandwich Islands; about one o'clock on that day he was walking the quarter-deck with the second mate, when the carpenter belong ing to the vessel came running up to him, and naid that they were stabbing each other in the forecastle; he immediately ran round and saw the deceased supported by a sailor of the name of Bar nard lie was pale and agitated ; he had a slight contusion over the leti eye. He asked him, was it there he was stabbed ? He made no answer. He then observed Barnard's band on the wound ; he desired him to keep his band on the wound; he then went down below to the medicine cheat, and he was about thereof four minutes eh.ent, and brought up a bandage and a bit of lint. He ordered Barnard to remove his hand, which on his doing, the blood gushed out most copiously. Before he put on the bondage, he examined the wound; he put his finger into it; it was between the second and third ribs ; the wound appeared as if it wan made with 'scene sharp instrument; it was half an inch from the sternum ; the deceased lived one hour and 25 minute; after he had seen him ; he died of lixaterrane. After his death he opened the body, and found the deceased was stabbed in the right side, between the 'second and third ethos, penetrating the diapliram through the right lobe of the liver, and wounding the rena cabs.—[Two knives were here produced ; he identiti d one of them as the knife which was handed to him after the occurrence.l—The wound seemed to be such a one as would be inflicted by such an instrument; the knives hail been in his po Amnon ever siece that period; die knife with which Tate was stabbed it, live inches long. and the wound wan precisely Amite:. The knife still retained the marks of blood up to the handle of it. Mr. Baonenie then asked the witness, did he see the prisoner after the occurrence ?—The wimess stated that immediately after the trennaction, shout twenty minutes, he went to examine the pri soner; he was in irons. Mr. BRODERIP 11.4C4 him what induced him to do se?—The withers replied, that he was under the impression that as there were two knives in question, he was apptehensive that the prisoner was wounded. Me. BRODER'? begged him to state whether there was any mark upon his breast or cheat ?—The witness slid none; that pet soner was dressed in a red flannel shift and canvas troweers„ and if there was any such thing he should. have seen it ; there was no mark to knelt . ) , a presumption that there was a knife pushed against his chest ; there was rot the plighest disenlouration or con tasien ; if toy anch thing was attempted as pleating • knife, front the manner in which the prisoner was dressed, it could not have 'tended it, he having no jacket, but being in his died and troy:sees- Joseph Ray, carpenter of the Soinnsseaman, being sworn, dated that in the month of September, the shin Kent was near the Sand wich Island ; lie recollects one day in that n.onth being eating his dinner wih the ship's crew in the forecastle. Ile saw the deceased Tate sitting on a theta cutting tobacco with a square-pointed knife. Saw the prisoner eating his dinner, sitting opposite to him ; he was about four feet from the deceased, the pitsoner was about the same distance. The deceased and prisoner had some words; deceased seemedlo address himself to prisoner. and the words referred to prisoner putting a vinegar ladle, made of a cocoanut shell, into the pea-soup ; Christopher observed to him that the prisoner wan a noble chap, or words to that effect. Prisoner went on dick for POOR! water; when he returned he again resumed his conversation with the deceased, and took his seat again opposite to Tate; they again had some angry words; heard prisoner call deceased a black —, and told him to give him no more of his jaw; immediately after saw prisoner jump up and strike decree/led ; the deceased fell against the pool bit. Deceased had a knife in his hand ;he shoved the knife against the waistband of the prisoner's 'miners; it was a square-pointed knife like what was produced. After he saw the prisoner strike the deceased, heard the pitoner say " If you have a knife, I have one also," and with that saw prisoner plunge the knife, wish which he was eating his dinner, in deceased's tight side; the deceased dropped. and never spoke afterwards; it was all done as quick as he could look ; it was done in a moment ; did rot see deceased strike prisoner could not say that when deceased pushed the knife against the prisoner's trowsers it was done with an intent to keep him off or to stab him. Ilere prisoner interrupted the witness, and begged of Mv. liromle rip to ask him whether the knife which the deceased bed niter the transaction did not lie half shut on the deck ? Witness replied that he saw a knife of tee saute desctiption as that now produced on the deck half diet. John Barnard being sworn, stated that he is Eiseman on board the Kent ; recollects the 19th September ; he was in the forecastle eating his dinner; it was between the hours of twelve and one o'clock ; prisoner was at dinner also. Tate, the deceased. was sitting on • client cutting tobacco, opposite to prisoner. Prisoner and deceased had sonic words; th v were very few; they were very low words or bed language. Prisoner and deceased were about four or five feet from each other; deceased was sitting clown. Saw the prianncr strike the deceased in the left eye with his right hand ; deceased fell over against the pool bit. The deceased got up as if to shove the prisoner off him. Pe did not see any more until he saw the blood coming out of the body of the deceased. caw deceased en deavour to push the prisoner off hint ; he shoved him with both his hands ; it did nnr appear to him as if deceased intended to have stabbed prsoner. [Here witness described.] It wan a square pointed knife with which deceased was cutting the tobacco. `Then prisoner saw the blood coming out of the steamed, he said, for God's sake no for the Doctor. ‘i'itness knew of no previous ill will between them. [Here the ptisoner begged to ask the witness whether be did not see I • crouch down,when deceased pushed the knife against the waistband of his trowsers.) Witness denied that he did. Samuel Kershaw, cooper of the Kent, being sworn, deposed, that he was in the forecastle of the Kent, eating his dinner, the day Tate was killed ; heard Tate and the prisoner have smite words ; does not recollect exactly what they were ; the deceased was sitting on a chest about four or five feet from prisoner, he was cutting tobacco prisoner was eating his dinner ; heard prisoner tell deceased to hold his tongue, or else he would knock his two eyes into one saw mi -1 toner strike deceased with his fist in the face; did not see deceased strike prisoner ; does not recollect any further particulars; every thing immediately after was a scene of confusion. William Johnson was the next witness ; being sworn, he deposed that he recollects perfectly well the 19:11 of September; lie was down in the forecastle, eating his dinner ; he sat rather behind the pool-bit ; did not hear what words passed between the prisoner and the deceased, but as he was coming clown the forecastle ladder, beard prisoner say, " You bad better keep your gabs off me, or I'll be into sonic of you, for I'm wickedly bent." Cannot say whe ther these words were used in anger or otherwise, but rather thinks they were in earnest. (Prisoner at this part of witness's evidence honked with amazement, and ejaculated, " Oh ! God ! Oh ! God 1") Witness was sitting on a chest behind the pool.bit, but could not see the deceased or the prisoner; in consequence of hearing a blow given, witness got up, saw the prisoner bawl the bloody knife out of the belly of the deceased, cold throw it on the deck. (He here identified the knife.) Prisoner addressed Mr. BRODERIP, and said, that he was without friends, money, or easy one to speak for him, and in mitred whether lie should not be allowed legal assistance? Mr Beans:air said, that legal assistance would very little avail hint at the present, as, no matter what assistance he could have, he should think it his duty to send him fix trial, and he might depend on having a fair one. Prisoner begged to explain that part of Johnson's evidence, where lie said, " If you don't hold your gales, I'll be into some of you ;" lie said, in reply to an observation that sonic one made, that this would be a tine day for Wales ; he said it would, and he should like to he into some of them. Prisoner further begged leave to state that a circumstance had come to his knowledge that morning, winch he was not aware of until then • which was, that the surgeon, pointing to Mr. Robin son, had told hint that the deceased had an old grudge against him, and intended him harm. This Robinson denied, but said that the prisoner was a very troublesome and quarrelsome fellow, and he and the deceased used frequently to be quarreling. Mr. BRODEUIr here warned the prisoner not to be asking any questions, and entreated he would be silent,. an, if he had any thing to offer, the proper place would be at his trial. The prisoner said, that all he wanted was justice. He here broke out into some strong expressions of indignation Against his fellow-shipmates; and, turning up his eyes, fervently said, that had he not done what he did, he should have lost his life, and he thanked his God he had been able to preserve it. He was then remanded. reloN-11A1.1..—0n Saturday, Mr. Thomas Hunt, the son of the candidate no the representation of the County of Somerset, attended at this office, according to the Magistrute's direction, to answer the complaints of Mr. Yenning, the landlord of the Bull in the Pound public-house, Broadwall, and a person named Jacobs, whom it was alleged he had assaulted. The circumstance; relative to the charge against the defendant appeared in the lit itish Pries of Saturday last. Mr. Yenning, who received a very severe contusion in the squabble that took place at his house, attended. Hi' head was bound up, and lie appeared in a very weakly state, from the effects of the full against one of his own tables. Me. SWAM:Y . now asked Mr. Yenning whether it was his in tention to proceed in the charge against Mr. Hunt, fur ussuulting hint. Mr. Yenning replied, tbat he had no charge to bring forward against Mr. Ilunt ; that _ g entleman Lavine merely peened him, and by matident his (Mr. Venniag%) head came iu contact with the edges of a table, and cut it. Mr. Swaney—Then it is your desire that Mr. Ilunt may be discharged, as it does not appear he pushed yea with any malicious intention. Mr. Venning—Certainly, I have no charge to bring against Mr. Hunt. Mr. SWABEY had just announced that Mr. Hunt was discharged, when Jacobs stepped forward, and saying, " Your %Via,hip, I hope Mr. Hunt will he detained nn my suit ; he struck me violently on the night in question, for drinking Sir Thomas Lethbridge 's health, and I trust he will be now held to bail." Mr. Hunt declared that there was no truth in the statement made against hint by Jacobs, on the former occasion, with respect to Sir Thomas Letithridge's health, and he was now 31i X iims that the Magistrate should hear the particulars front a medical man, who was in the room during the fracas. The Magistrate said that he had already breed (mite enough of the public-house quarrel, and if Mr. Jacobs thought it worth his while he would have an opportunity of indicting Air. Hunt at the Sessions. The parties that left the dike. THE DUBLIN EVENING AM, ~-~ CHARGE OF LIBEL.

Blum and CUTHBERT attended as ( onnael for Rmwmare, and Mr. Scaly EX as Counsel far the proprietors. Alderman DARLEY and Mr. OnasEa were the prendir magis'rates. Before the cue waa entered upon, Mr. Grtavrs tha. D aragraph which had appeared in a morning paper, aati, g t h at thin ease had undergone a previous investipa:ion before the oa r , trues, on which occasion AU. Perrin said that his Lordship, own showing, was the aggressor, was altogether svrhng; investigation had ever taken place, nor had .Ir. Perrin tr t r , tended there on his Lordship's behalf._ Mr. SCRIVEN then addressed the Bench; Iv , thought the ir , gistrates should pause before they took hia Lord,hip' s infor ni , u ; un der t he peculiar circumstance of this cane.

Mr. Ban salt: that Mr. &riven should not use the w et' "ruffian," in addressing the magistrate*. It was an expre sso ., pt.• uliarly painful to his feelings, and should not be applied toward , his noble client. Many things had been said there, solely or the porpose of that appearing. and being circulated elsorhere. Me. ScatvErt repelled the .eharge with much war.i.th, and said, he did not nuke 'speeches merely that they might appe ar print. Mr. Bate—l know many men who do. Mr. ticnivEl—And so do I ; and perhaps it would hare beer. better for themselves and the public that these speeches had ntvit been made. He (Mr. Striven) thought he was warranted m using this language; and he would do so, notwithstanding Mr. Brit's interruption. Bate—With every respect to the Magistrates, 1 will objet: to yds I inguar ; there is aldegree of personality in Mr. Striven'' obits rra.ions against which I must protest. Mr. Sc*IVEN—Mr. Brie hu no right to interrupt me. If I have been personal, there is the gentleman 'Mould resent it (looking `town-cis I:ird Rassmore). Air. Hatt—l submit that the expression " kicking down stain" should not have been used. _ 111 r. SCRIVEN thought it would be quite time enough for 3lr. Uric to answer Won when he had concluded. Ur. CItAVEB coiceised that a counsel, in advocating the cane of his client, had a certain latitude Allowed hint ; 31r. Bric •ou;d have an orpottuniy of rep!ril.g. Mr. t3dri [wax Chen sitlistrtied that the proprietorship of the paper should be proved before the 51agistrates could entertain the complaint. 411 r. Banc said the appearance of the parties to answer the sum. mona was an admission of the feet. This was over-ruled by Mr. GRAVES; they appeared in otrdi. cnce to the summons from the Mag“trates.. This mstter ass however settled by the sworn inforinationsof Lord Rossmore, which stated that he had read the Stamp 016:e Registry, and handed in an affidavit on the subject. At thin stage of the business Mr. CUT EIRE NT entered the bear!. room, when a conversation ensued between biro and Mr. Saivert no way relevant to the case. Mr. CUTHBERT then addressed the Bench, saying, that a par. ton of the libel in question was materially different from ordinary libels: it was scuathilum magnalum ; an attack on a Peer of the realm. Mr. GRAVES was of opinion that the article was clearly h. .llous. Mr. Sears , Est bowed to the decision of die Magistrates. After, some further dialogue between Mr. Scale EX and Mr. Bate, and the resoling of the articles alleged as libellous, together with Lord Itossmore's letter to the Editor of the Evening Moil, Mr. C v TIIB I:11T, on the part of Lord Rossmore, made ail lois mated appeal to the Magistrates. He had hoped his Learned Friend, Mr. Scriven, would have taken quite a different course—thence lie had taken, he (Mr. Cuthbert) was slue was according to his in structions ; but it was in bad taste, and bad discretion, and would ultimately recoil on his clients. lie then commented, in very swine language, on the articles that had been published in the Ertmirg Mail, solicit he designated as most wicked and malignant libels.— Who (said Mr. Cuthbert), could walk abroad in safety, if he were subject to such attacks from the public preys, and then to be told, that the Magistrates had discretion, and should use It ? He trusted that the Magistrates he addressed had too much good genie, and tco niuch goad feeling, to be led away by illusury ideas of discretion upset a case of so flagrant an outrage, one that bad tbr its tendency to level all distinctions, and coming, too, front a quarter that af fected to uphold the Church and State. Be would now come to the most plausible but fallacious allegation of facts. What his Learned Friend had stated was the truth, but not the whole truth—that Lord Rossmore struck the first blow ; be would go further, and show that his Lordsl.ip struck no blow. Mr. Cuthbert then entered fully into the words of the alleged libel—the time of writing each publication—and the time that Lord Rossmore's letter was written to the editor or proprietor of the paper; and said he thought he had fully proved, first, that the publication was a libel; second, that the Magistrates had no discretion to use in the case; and, thirdly, that if they were competent to t►y such a question, they would easily discover who hail struck the first blow. Mr. BRAVES was unwilling to say much on this case, or to do any thing which would have the appearance of prejudging it. IL thought, however, that it would be better for the public peace, art for all parties, to stop the business far the present, by receiving the iatermations, and that his brother Magistrates agreed with: him in feeling it to be their duty to do so. An application was then made by Mr. SenIVEX, in order to pre. vent delay, that the informations should be retuned for trial at the Quarter Sessions; the able Judge who presided in that Court would be sure to give artisfaction to all parties. Mr. Bate said that from the rank of the party, his Lordship was entitled to have it tried at the Commission. This was finally agreed upon, as it appeared that the Commission would be very little later than the next Sessions. Alderman BARLEY said that in every legal question which cane before that Bench, he always made it a tole to submit to the decision of his Learned Friend, who eat by him to assist with his legal knowledge; lie agreed with hint on the present occasion: however, he could not help observing in this case, that if the lan guage which hoed Russmore made use of in his letter to the pro prietors of the paper had not taken place, the subs: cpaent publica tion, in their paper of the 7,11 instant, never would have appeared. Mr. Glynn and Mr. Sheehan were then directed to attend this day whit their bail. The business occupied the Magistrates from two o'clock until past four, during which time the board-room was crowded with auditors. As we have not ventured to repeat the matter aleged to have beer. " a malicious libel," we have not been able to enter so hilly two the proceedings before the Magistrates, as we might otherwise it done.—Freerr n's Journal. MEETINGS OF CREDITORS.
