CHARGE OF MURDER. Amongst the list of permits mentioseal in our last as ewe. signed to our County Gaul, was included William Berton, charged nu violent suspicion of being guilty of the murder of William Buns, late of Wollaston, our Chepstow.

He was acconips stied, as they went by water ' by the Prisoner Burka, a young man of idle habits, whose life had beer principally spent at sea, and who was well acquainted with the object of Braes missiou. Nothing farther was heard of Syms, or sere any fears entertained for his safety, till about a fore sight afterwards, when Burton returned alone. At the time of the departure of the latter, it was known that he was sot iu pusatsaun of asp money; laded, os the contrary, be was idolised to borrow from a Mead wherewithal to carry him to Bristol ; but on his rehire it is ascertained that he changed several AL notes of the Chepstow Bank, and pro ceeded to pay a some debts he had incurred in the parish. loquiries were row made of him respecting his companion; but the answers he gave were as various and incossistent, that siospieimis that all was ant right, were generally excited against him, and he ass subsequently taken luso custody. He underwent several examinatious berme the Right Hon. C. Bathurst ; In the cowrie of which it was proved, that the Prisoner red !tyros had bees seen together at Bristol, and that, on the night weeding the foriner's re-appearaui:e at Wollaston, they had slept together at a public-house at Pill, when they stated their iiiiiratio• of returning to Wollaston) with their host early the following morning.

Sittings after Michaelmas terse. before Chief 'sake A ssorr and Common Juries. HVIITLIty v. VAN lISTBRTHVIIVV. The Plaintiff; in this nee, who keeps • lodging. house in the neighhourhooil of Tavistock-square, sought to recover the sum of seven guinem, being the amount of three weeks' row, for apertrnetits let to the Defendant, on the 29th of November. The question merely was, whether the Defendant had taken the apartments by the week, or the month. Eliziheth Cunfield, late the servant of the Plain. tiff, stated, that the Defendant came to the boom of her mistress, and looked at the apartments. lie was informed by the Plaintiff's sister, that two goiaeas per week was the lowest rentthst *mild he taken for them. When the Plaintiff afterwards found that the Defettilent was monied, she objected to receive hint, and went, accompanied by her niece and witness, to the Defendant's ehansbers. in Lincoln's Inn, where she at length agreed to let him the lodgings at two guineas and a half a week, for a month certain. After a few days, however, 'the Defendant found that he could accommodate himself better at lodgings so Marehmont-street, and quitted those he had taken from the Plaintiff, offering two guineas mid a half fur the time he had occupied them, which was refused. Charlotte Huntley, the niece of the Plaintiff, deposed to the same effect. The Defeoidiot never expressed himself dissatisfied with the lodgings, which he quitted on the 3d of December. Mr. TAUNTON, for the Defeildant, stated, that this was a melancholy case. It was melancholy in this respect, that he would he obliged to call wit. nesse, to prove that the whole of what Elizabeth Canfield had stated was a tissue of fiction. His client war a gentleman of great respectability, and had recently been called to the Bar. He had chambers in Lincoln's Inn—but, at the time this transaction took place, he found it a matter of too, vesience to occupy lodgings elsewhere. He imagined. fr. a n what had passed with the Plaintiff's sister, that he had definitively taken the apartments for two gui neas per week ; but was much serpnsed, on the very eveniug when the bargain was concluded, on receiving a visit from the Plaintiffand her meet, the former of whom told him that she could not let the lodgings for less than two guineas and a half a week, as she, for the first time, understood the De fendant had his wife with bun. The Plaintiff im mediately said, " If that is the case, I must pay the advanced rent, as I have no other place to gat to— but mind, I will only renaqiu foe ealagle work." This he would prove. by • 'witness she wee in the . room at the time. But the ease did net rest here. He would also prove. that the house was wholly destitute of conveniences ! There miss • mot proper utensils event sto dress the diem', which. is conse quence, could not be served up until seven o'clock iii the evening. Part of the furniture which was disposed for «hew when the Plaintiff looked at the lodgings, was afterwards removed—and the house was so damp, that the Pleintiffand his wife could not remain there, without endangering their health. Anne Widdington, who took care of the Defend ant's chambers in Lincoln's Inn, stated that she was present when Mrs. Huntley sod her niece called on the Defendant, sod told him that lie could taut have the lodgings for less than two guineas and a half per week—and, after some hesitation, the De fendant said he would take the lodgings, at that rate, for a week. She was positive that there were only two females present. Anne Garnet, servant to the Defendant, deposed that there was a deficiency of culinary utensils at Mrs. Huntley's. It was difficult, iu consequence, to dress dinner. There were only one blue dish, and two vegetable dishes; but the Plaintiff said she had got three more above stairs. The stair-carpet. ing was taken up after the Defendant took the lodgings, and there were no hangings to the beds. A sofa sad table, originally placed in the drawiug room, were removed - from it. The house was ex tremely damp, end no fire appeared to have been in the bed-room and doming-room grates for a consi derable time. The Defendant complained greatly of the want of glasses, salts, sod castors, and the Plaintiff told him she would procure whatever was al. ficient in the course of • fee dap, A dish and • dozen of small plates were ofterwards 'sent in.

The Plaito tiff declared first, on a bill of exchange for 290/. and secondly, fur work and labour. The berrn dant pleaded to the one, the statute of limitations ; and to the ether nil debt& Mr. TOPPING said, he regretted extremely that it fell to his lot to bring this case before his Lord ship and the Jury. it was a melanchholy case, on account of the relationship which subsisted between the parties. the Plaintiff being the son-in-law of the Defendant. Mrs. Glover was the widow of a Gentleman of great respectability, who formerly re sided in Gloucestershire. and her daughter was mar tied to the Plaintiff. During the life-time of Mr. Glover, he embarked very largely in: the iron -trade, being in partnership with his father, Mr. Joshua Glo ver. and a gentleman of the name of Frey. Mr. Glo ver survived them both—but died himself intestate, in the year 1808. At the time of his death, debts, to the amount of 12,0001. were due to him, in France—and his widow having administered to his estate and effects, gave a power of attorney to the present Plaintiff and her son, Samuel Glover, to collect this money. For his trouble in executing this business, he now claimed a certain compen sation. Prior to his going abroad, he hid trans acted some other affairs for Mrs. Glover, for which she gave him the bill of exchange, drawn in 1809. The statute of limitations was pleaded in bar of that claim, but he would *hew a direct acknowledgment of the debt, by Ira. Glover, within six years. He next claimed 1158. a day. subsisteoce-money, for 9.24 days, during which he was occupied in collect lug debts, in conjunction with Samuel Glover, on the Continent. He also demanded two and a half per cent on all the ruins so collected. On the re. turn of Mr. Thompson to England, his mother-in. law caused him to be arrested, and he lay ill prison for twelve months. The cause was at best tried be fore his Lordship, at the Westminster S,ttings after last Hilary Term. On that occasion his Learn ed Friend (Mr. &elicit). who now, by one of those variations to which they were all subject, appeared for Mrs. Glover. was retained against her. The present Plaintiff, who was Defendant in that case, was soccessful. He immediately demanded pay meat for the bill of exchange—and, on refusal, or rested his mother-in-law. Though she bad funds competent to pay every demand, for, he understood, she had now 14,0001. at bee disposal, she chose rio. they than liquidate the debt, or suffer it to be in vestigated, voluntarily to surrender herself to the King's Bench prison, where she still remained—and where also the Plaintiff was confined. The Plain. tiff's demand was, first, 1,153/., at the rate of 25'. a day, for 924 days (from the 10th of August, 11414, to the 13th of February, 1817), during which he was employed collecting debts in France. He made this specific charge, because. at a former period, when he was employed by Mts. Glover to triiiitoict business relating to her administration; in London, she allowed 23e. per day for expenaes. Second, 200/.. with interest. on the bill of exchange draw n in 1809. Third, 71/. being two sod a Wryer cent. on 2.5511. that had been collected. Fourth, an item af7sl. for his services to endeavouring to reco eel/tee-4*mA for Mrs. Glover, *Nish she claimed on the death of her husband, with .aspect to an estate in Herefordshire. The Plaintiff was obliged to meet the Lord of the Mirror repeatedly on this subject. for nearly half•a-year. There were some other minor claims, making in the whole a grows sum of 1,861!. The Learned Counsel having lasted the case, expressed an a n xious wish that the business might be accommodated bay/reit the parties. What he would propose was, that the . old lady, the Defenda n t, s h ou ld l e set at liberty, mid that all matters in dispute should be referred to some indifferent person or persons. The CUM JU•TICS intimated that such a course would be .1w moat prudent and satisfactory. Mr. Scent.orrr said, neither of the parties would agree to such a proposition. The cause, after some consultation between the Counsel end the Solicitors employed, proceeded. ~ Samuel Glover, the son of the Defendant, stat e d, on his examination, that he end the Plaintiff were appointed by M rs. Glover to collect debts in France; under a power of attorn4. This instrument was put in. It provided, that the parties should deduCt, oat of the ironies collect ed, all caste and charges which might be incurred in the collection, and a sum of 3/. per cent. for their trouble. Mr. SCAILETT objected, that certainly to action of catalyst owl, he was iwelened to thlolt. no action even of ossarapsit, could be founded sun this instru ment. If the parties Owe to undertake the collec tion of throe debts, they must be bound by the sta ture of the agreement—sod here, it was only pro vided, that the coats and charges of Collection, and live per cent. comistiirion, should he deducted, where money wss collected. If they did n o t collect clehts—if tit.; did nothing—they could not expect payment. The Cities' JUSTICE was inclined to consider the of j. a good oite—but he would not stop the Mr. Gluier's crantimation contenwed.—iii. and the Plaintiff went to Framer. solely un this busi twos.
