Mr. Taylor had reseed his wane:ion with the house. He admitted that Mr. Taylor was liable to repay the money lest. according to the testimony of the only witness who had been called in support of she action if the jury believed his evidence. yet, whatever pre- judice they might feel against gaming-house keepers in general, I and however adroitly the plaintiff's counsel might have availed lunmei of that prejudice against the defendant in particular, he I lithe Ationsey-General) was disposed to think that the jury would hetitate before they found • verdict foe the plaintiff to the extent claimed en the evidence of this one unsupported, solitary, and se".

It pea true he had sworn that he had no expectation of beuetiiiug bav d es an dict for his brother, but could the jury believe him ? lie manifestly the strongest bias to give big evidence against the t. He must be deeply Interested in the result of the &e -tas: If thecae therefore steed where it was Left by the plaintiff's counsel, it was doubtfhl whether the jury would have found a vet. die tape* it, but on the port of the defendant a clear answer would be given to the action. It would be proved that William {Valens never was at the defendant's house on any of the days on which be pretended to hare loathe money in question. The principal item of jihs Imam was dated April 1, 1061. Now it was a remarkable fact that ibis date fell on tired Friday, and it was a yule with the defendant not to open his house on that day. The witnesses would state that it was a regular holiday for them. They were all absent, and no play whatever was allowed. This fact would speak vo. luaus as to the way in which the memorandum produced by Wil. law had been fabncated ; it clearly demonstrated that he could not hasi wands it as be pretended, every evening on his return home. If It were said the defesdatiee witness were his servants, and therefore to be suspected, at least the testimony of any one of them Sres sot on that germ& raft Mb, mopected than that given by the plenstiff's wit witness, wits was sot only the relative and depen. dealer the plaintiff s bat who met him a direct interest in the eat aini if the action.

They remained in my hen& a month. Thomas Woods sworn—l have known William Mrillans about two years anti a-half, by meeting him at houses of play. Ile has borrowed several half-crowns of me. I never saw him play at Mr. Taylor's. Ile seldom had any money in his possession. I did not know his name till last May. John Abbott sworn—l know William Winans. He once owed me a pound, which he paid in several sums. I have known hint since August, 1021. I never saw him with any money. I had been at his lodgings about three times. Ile appeared to have no resources from which money could be drawn. Ile appeared 'to live respectably, but not like a person who had • great deal of money. Cross-examined—l am now living oo my own property. Ido business in the wine trade, on commission, when I think proper. I sold in 1821, for Messrs. Abbott', in Skinner-street, to the extent of several hundred pounds. I have myself occasionally borrowed k trine at the gaming-table, and HAW it. I never saw %Valens with much money In his pocket. 31r. C. PHILLIPS replied in a speech of peculiar force and elo quence. lle stigmatised the witnesses for the defence, aa suborned by the defendant, and said, the question for the Jury was, whether no gaming !house keeper was to suffer the penalties of his iniquitous trade who could hire a sufficiently numerous host of witnesses, who would perjure themselves to save him from the deserved conse quences of his guilty traffic. The Loan CHILY J ST Icz, on summing up the evidence, ob. served to the Jury, that their verdict would depend greatly on their opinion of the veracity of the witnesses. There was no doubt that the defendant was the keeper of one of those very mischievous , houses in which gaming was followed. The Jury would contrast the evidence. and determine to which side the bahince in their judg. nient inclined. They ought not to suffer the prejudice they must feel against the defendant as the keeper of a common gaming-house to operate against him in this action, which was brought under a penal statute, and therefore ought to be sadsfactorlly proved. If is was not so proved, they would be bound to give a verdict for the defendant. The Jury then withdrew from Court. After being absent about half an hour, they returned to ask his latedship whether they could reduce the atmount of damages. The Loeb Cuter ..lvirtee said they certainly could, if they had any reason for so doing. The Jury again retired, and in about twenty miputes afterwards came into Court with s verdict for the plaintiff, for 171 k lost at play, and for the penalty of treble that amount. The whole vet did, therefore, was—for the plainW, Damages On The plaintiff's case was conducted by Mr. C. Patat.srs and Mr. PATTisoN. The def'e'nd by the AwtnatriT Mr. ADOLPHUS, and Mr. Cinawooto.

It is rather singular, that whenever Mr. Sirewright con tracts for a ',tottery, a rise in the Funds uniformly takes place; this has occurred so progressively of late, that already more than the aniceint of two whole year s dividends will be cleared, over and above the value at which the principal was fixed at the taking of the Contract.

DURHAM EPIPHANY SESSIONS, Jaw. 13. TRIAL OF A SURGEON AND A MEDICAL STUDENT FOR STEALING} A DEAD BODY. John Weatherley, aged 21, and MOWIell Thompson, aged 23, the resurrection-men lately apprehended at Sunderland, were indicted upon a charge of opanin t s the grave in which the body of Elisabeth Hedlcy was interred in bunderland church-yard, and of unlawfully and indecently carrying away the hod". Thompson pleaded guilty, but Weatberley put himself upon his trial. Mr. Losn stated the case to the Jury, and the case proved in evidence woo, that the prisoners being strangers in Sunderland, took lodginp *me, and made a paint of attending all the funerals that took plot" owl Were in the habitof loitering about the church-yard. On the 21M It December last the body of the deceased Elisabeth Iletiley was bMtred in the church-yard. Her father was about machining • bariaL-plase is the church-yard, but the purchase not hubs . Seen essepieted when his daughter was buried, she was in. tetra avid= pat of the eisurch.eard, with the intention, when the purchase weecomedract,eff removing the body to another grave. On the 25th of Nem*, is consequence of the purchase having been then completed, the grave was opened for the ptutpose of re moving the corpse, but on coming to the coffin the body was die. sovered to have been already taken awn . Suspicion having fallen on the prisoners, Thompson was apped in the church-yard„ while leaving a funeral he had been attending. He was conveyed to the lock-up house; but he =hoed it ffiet to give any account of himself, or to state where be lodged. Jiteninally, however, he agreed to conduct them to his lodginp,ffirovided be was protected from the violence of the mob, which the fraowledge of the circumstance et his having beet) apprehended Mtn* a MCorp naturally collated.

Ahsr the prraoset,Weatbedey, bed been In cus tody he said that Thompsea was a fool for brimelog the officers to his lodgings so soon, as, if he bad had tome time, he would have thrown the body over the sea-beaks, sad so 4eproyed the principal testimony against them. These were the lise facts of the cue to connect Weatherity with the offence charged against him. The prisoner kiss called upon, read a written defense. He commenced by noticing how strenuously the Counsel for the prose cution had mdeamsared to infinencie the feelings of the jury against him. The Conned, he remarked, had left no stone unturned by which he might strengthen his client's ease. Bat be thought the Learned Gentleman's speech would be considered by the Jury more sounding thari subetintial ; and that the evidence produced on the part of the prosecution: instead of proving him guilty of the offinsee with which hs stood charged, would be found to eraser stongly in his favour., and would, no_doubt, =ovine. the Jury of his moo comic The rekillei UM would confine his remarks te them draumetairase, wheel It op* he * awe she rely shine that mused the suspicion of his being concerned in die committing of that offence of which Thompson had pleaded pithy. The first fact was—his going with Thompson to take the kdgings, and his lodg. kg in the same room with him. This, the Learned Conned had contended (ooupkd with other circumstances which, he should shorty notice), operated strongly in favour of the presumption that he was guilty. The prisoner stated he wan a surgeon of seven years standing; that as he was travelling from Edinburgh to Sun derland, where he intended to commence practising as a surgeon, be met Thompson. lie did not at first recollect - him ; but after some conve rsa ti o n, he found that he had been his fellow-student at the University of Edinburgh, and that they had dissected in the same room—that he disclosed to Thompson his intention of going to Sunderland, and Thompson, having been recommended the sea air for the benefit *this health, agreed to accompany him--that on their arrival at Sundetland they took the room as bad been stated by one of the witnesses, and they accordingly lived together. But he would ask the Jury, if, because he lodged in the same room with Thompson, he was therefore privy to all Thum son's transactions ? And if, because Thompson has been guilty of an offence, he must necessarily be guilty also? Such a concluoion would be absurd in the extreme ; for if two men lodged ht the same house, a blacksmith and a joiner for instance, did it follow that the blacksmith must become a joiner, or the joiner a bleckintith The . same reasoning, he contended, applied to the present are and he therefore thought this circumstance ought to have no weight with the Jury in pronouncing him guilty. The next circumstance was the finding of the teeth and the tooth-drawer. These he ac knowledged were hit own, and were found in the room he had taken. lie had proved, from the cross-examination of one of the that they were all single teeth, and the instrument found was used only for drawing double teeth. This made it sufficiently evident that he did not keep it for the purpose of extracting the teeth from dead bodies, as has been insinuated by the Counsel ; for no surgeon ever used that instrument for drawing single teeth, there being an instrument used solely for that purpose ; and if there were any sue. goons present, be was certain, if they would come forward, t would confirm what he said. The teeth, he again acknowlMge4hey were his preputy--that he was a dentist, and had bought them—and there was no law to prohibit him from buying tenth. As to the finding of the body in the adjoining room, he wounded that this also wt) no proof of his guilt, as it had been *red be Niel not taken that room ; and as the key was always hung behind the door when they went out, so it was very easy for Thompson to have conveyed the body there in his absence, and which he had by his plea of guilty acknowledged. The next cireumstance to which he would draw the attention of the Jury was hip having ordered the box in which the child was packed. Thompson, he said, bad re quested him to order the box for him, as be hod some hardware to send to his friends in Edinburgh. That he had dens so, and he could not see how that could enable Orr Jury to And kin gaily for he considered it as only a frieeffiramn nada , the, beedsbed friendship from the world, what would become of society P It had also been proved that this was the mile t ime lie had ordered any box. It had also been proved that he rad not call for the box, but that Thompson called for it, and actually took it away. From this, he said, it evidently appeared that it was a scheme by which I Thompson might be able to avoid detection in case he was suspect. ed, and that the offence might be attributed to him. Such then, he remarked, were the only circumstances under which the Counsel for the proseentiesecalled for their verdict, and upon which he had placed so much reliance. There was another circumstance which he would briefly notice, not because he considered it as in the least tending to ctiminaie him, but merely to show the shifts the Learned Counsel had been put to, to make out a case against him ; and that was his being seen in the church-yard. They had brought &mead the sexton, to prove that he saw him there, and that be asked several questions respecting the manner of bora ingthe dead in this country. This, he said, was no uncommon' thing for strangers to do; they generally enter the church-rude, I read the epitaphs, and what not. The beamed Counsel asked the sexton if I did not inquire the depth of the grave, hut the sexton appearing to have more sense than the Counsel, replied, " that he' hod no occasion to ask, for he had eyes and could see the depth." He said this was in itself of so little use to either party, that he would not take up the time of the Court by further comment, and concluded by tequesting the Jury to place no credit on such mi. dance—evidence altogether circumstantial, and which ought never to be relied upon but in cases of murder; that if they entertained any doubt, lie demanded the benefit of that doubt, and that he fully expected the Jury would return their verdict of not guilty, or otherwise not proven. The Jury retired, and, after a quarter of an hour's deliberation, returned a verilics of (:silty. Weatherley then read an address in mitigation of punishment, which displayed considerable ability. He contended for the neces. city of the offence of which they had been convicted, as being of the greatest inmortance in the study of practical anatomy; and declared that his fellow-prisother and he were not aittleited by any sordid motive, but solely from a desire to afford Irailities to the , student, and thereby rendering an important seri* to the com. moony. ssh The Cooler sentenced them to be severally Imprisoned to hard labour, in the House of Correction, fur three calendar months. 11e,141--We are enabled to state, that hunt's sentence of death will be commuted to transportation for life. We understand, too, that the Royal mercy has been extended to him, upon the condition that lie should make a full con fession of all he knows respecting his late associates, and that he is now actually making such disclosures through his solicitor, Mr. Harmer.—Courier.
