As soon as this outrage wee communicated to the Magistrates, every endeavour to find out the perpetrators was made, and a number of persons apprehended in consequence. About two o'clock, on the morning of Monday, the 21st inst. the house of a man named Walsh, resitting about two miles from Ka. tutor, was attacked by a large party of people, some of whom were mud with guns, bayonets, Ace. who, having broken in his door by sledging, demanded his arms and only daughter, which the lather, mother, and uncle having resisted, were beat in &desperate man ner; however, the party being alarmed from the outside, they re tired without having effected their purpose, which appeared to be principally to take away his daughter.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Ten lIIDAY, JAN. 29. SIR O. P. TURNER. Mr. HMI T reminded his Lordship that a petition was pending in the Court, the prayer of which was, that leave migllt be grantee! to canvass the finding of the Jury in the ease of this lunacy. That petition was entrusted to his Learned Friend, Mr. Home, whose ahseace, and the muse of it, he regretted. (Mr. Horne was not in ('nun. His absence, we understonJ, was occasioned by a domestic calamity.) Before what petition could Lc entertained by his Lord ship, it was necessary tutee some person should be appointed committee of the estates of the lunatic, as legal proceedings had been instituted against his property on various accounts. He hoped his Iswelship would therefore permit him to pm sent a peti. (ion on Saturday, praying thatCaptruiTtliTha should be appointed as Committee. The Loan Ckr•NcEvi.on said, that the petition to tea -1 verse the finding of the Jury should have pteeedence of hearing. Mr. HART did not object to the hearing of that petition. The object of the one which he held was merely to have a well-qualified person ready to meet the legal proceedings brought against the estate. He thought that he mig ht submit the prevent, as though no other petition were presented or pending. The LORIb CHANCELLOR said, that a circumstance had just occurred to him; he had received a letter from a person who de. scribed himself as the ga of the estate of Sir Gregory P. Turner; he requested tha t h i e might be permitted to lay out tank soma in the purchase of seeds for the nursery, and other im provements which were carrying on in the demesne of Hattlesden. house. He farther added a peremptory revest that his Lordship might answer his letter without delay. (a laugh.) His Lordship appointed Saturday fur the hearing of the petition. °ARMCO V. EARL OF CHATHAM. Mr. PErs-s was heard for a re-transfer into Court of a certain I sum which it was alleged that Mr. ['idly had transferred into his • possession by a su r re p t i t i ous order of the Master of the Rolls in t July last. This case had been heard in part before. It appeared that David Garrick had bnaeatheil to his brother. Peter Garnck, -1,7001., which was divisible into tins: qutintites. Of these quan tities Mrs. Payne was entitled to one moiety of the p:operty. .Mr. I Rally, as executor of the will of Peter Garrick, was entitled to another. A decree, however, was obtained, transferring the whole ' of the property to Sir. !laity. The Learned Gentleman coo-1 tended, that this transfer was tootle and sought for by Mr. Bally, as the executor, merely with a view of sevurin; to the incumbents for ileitis on the share of Mr. Payne, the payment of their respec tive dividends. Besides, it should be considered, that hits. Payne Was at present out of the jurisdiction of the Court, ancj she might exempt herself from any responsibility at to a.. V tom of money she might receive. thi the. grounds he hoped his Lordship would not disturb the t'ecree of the Master of the Rolls, and permit the transfer to remain as it at present stood, in the name of Mr. Rally. Mr. Agar replied, and submitted to his Lordship the injustice' and inconvenience olaced on his client, Mrs. Payne, who is, In con sequence of her deceased husband's debts, residing at present in a foreign country, in most straitened circumstances, and dependent almost solely on this remnant of the legacy bequeathed many years since to her by her deceased relative. The Learned Gentleman ex- pressed his expectai on of his Lordship's order for the transfer of the sum in question, and trusted that, from the reprehensible con duct of the parties en the other side, they might be compelled to pay the rests. In truth, the proceedings taken by the opposite side, were maniftaly taken for the purposes of vexation and annoyance, and of defeating the claim of the lady, who was entitled to her pro- i portion of the property as residuary legatee. The other parties had ttieir several claims answered ; their legacies were paid ; but this lady had been set up an an object of invidious exception. It was said, indeed, that there were incumbents on her property ; but these were secondary claimants on her shre of the legacy bequeath. ed to her, and she should be handed over her own portion of the property, to deal with them as she miyht think proper. Theeon- I duct of Mr. Maly was highly censurable, for having opposed such obstacles to a lady in pursuit of her own just rights. The decree for the transfer of the money to Mr. Bail, was obtained by surreptitious means ; it was affirmed on affidavit that no notice had been received on the other side of an intention to make such an application, and if such intimation had been fairly given, he would venture to say that such application would have been successfully resisted. Th. lady, on whose behalf he appear ed, was reduced to great difficulties. She had paid her husband's debts—debts which she was not bound to pay, and she now only I sought to recover the fair proportion of the property to which, as residuary legatee, she was est:tied. He (Mr. 11.) could see no ob. lctioa to her claim being adjusted ; she only sought the fair al lovrance which the bequest conveyed to her, and he hopes' that his Lordship would not permit a decree obtained In the manner in which he had stated to his Lordship to preclude his client from the advantages to which she was legally entitled. The Learned Gentleman proceeded to detail the facts of the case, which have al ready appeared in the British Press of Saturday, and ingeniously commented upon them as he proceeded. The Loan CHANCE( ton wished to read the affidavits in this ease before he gave judgment. The conduct of the parties required that he should do so. As to the petition of Bally, it appeared to him that it should have been so far acceded to, as that a pert of the sum should be awarded to indemnify him. But he saw DO reason for the whole sum passing into his hands. Ile had only a . claim to an aliquot pan of it. Fur what purpose was it transferred to hint ? Suppose even that it was necessary some person * bo o m hold it until some suits instituted respecting it were disposed of, op the distributive claims adjusted, would it not have been as secure, or rather more secure, being paid into Court than by being in his possession ? This was h:s presert impression; but he would read the whole of the affidavits, and give judgment on Saturday. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, THVIADAT, JAN. 29. (Siftings In Banco.] This being the first dat• of the fifth year of his Majesty' reign, the Judges appeared in their robes. MAUSJI HORNE. This was an action by a silk-nee:cer, in Bath, against a coach. proprietor, in London, for compensation for damage done to silk in its carriage from London to Bath. slr. SCAHL ET T moved for a new trial, on the grounds that the damage arose from no neglect, and that the value was above M. without paying carriage in proportion. The COURT granted the rule, and directed Mr. Scarlett to come prepared to argue that the defendant's knowledge that the goods were of graver value than bL did not deprive him of the benefit of Ws notice. EVAN S V. ASHTON. This was an action onapoliviiifinstirance, effected upon the ship Sea Nymph. trading to the coast of Africa. It was tried at the Ime `:iitingt at tluildhall, before the Lord Chid Justice, and a verdict given for the defendant. N v moved for a rule to shew cause why the verdict sheuld not be act aside, and a new trial granted. It appeared on the trial that the ship was sold at Cape Coast Cantle, and the gun. tiun for the Jury was, whether she was capable of repair when sold. The underwrh.i had obtained a verdict, in consequence of evidence that the ship had been seen a few weeks after the sale, at a considerable distance from Cape Coast Castle, taking on board a cargo of slaves. 'file plaintiff was prepared to prove that the wit ness to the identity of the vesael was mistaken. Rule to shew cause granted. g !! V. NEXNETT. This was an action of trover, tried at the late Sittings at Guild hall, before the lawd Chief Justice, to recover the sum of :01. paid to the defendant for a bay mare. alleged to have been purchased of hint by the plaintiff, a native of Russia, under a warranty. The mare turned out to be labouring under the incurable defect of a bog spasin, from which she died in about six weeks, having been wholly unserviceable while in the plaintiff's possession.

The Cottav, after consulting the rotes of the trial, were of opinion that the plaintiff had not used due caution in making his I purchase ; the defects were sufficiently obvious to each party. Rule refused. DYER AND OTTIT.RE v. es eaves AXD 9TITyFA. This was an action of trove hrrought by the plaintiff., who are extensive clothiers in ll'orkshire, against the defendants, who are respectable merchants in the city of London, to recover the value of 311 packs of wool, imported by the plaintiff's from Germany. The case was tried before the Lord Chief Justice, at the late sittings at Guildhall, and a venliet obtained by the defendant. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for • rule to ACV cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. The facts of the case were, that the plaintiffs had employed a person I named Smith to import the wool on their account. The bill of ' lading was indorsed by them, and sent to Smith, together with an invoice and letter of adriN. Ile landed the wool on producing the bill of ledlig, and sent twenty packs to the plaintiffs, together with the invoice and letter of advice. The remaining ten packs were warehoused in London by Smith, who bring pressed for money, plzelged them to the defendants, in security for a loan of 2011. the increased necessities of smith afterwards induced him to em- Vioy a person named Pippett, to raise some more money for hint. ppett took the only course thst remained for him, and sold the wad for 1004 The plaintiffs having written several letters to Smith without receiving any answer, and finding all applications in that mode ineffectual, one of the partners came to town and as. :retained how their property had been disposed of. The action was then brought, and the .ittorney-livneral contended that, adn ii tt ing the sale was brow "dr. as Smith wax only the agent of the plain tiffs to Import the wool, and not the factor, and as no negitgence' had bean proved against them in any part of the transaaion, the MT! possession of the bill of hailing, unaccompanied by the in voice or letter of isilvice, could not base given Smith any right to ' sell the wool. Rule to sheer eaure granted. MASTERMAY At AVOTHER T. This was an action of tower, to recf.rer the sum of 1,0151., paid and secured to be paid by the plaintiffs to the defendant, the late contractor for the mail between Derby and Leicester, in considera tion of the transfer of his rod sr;11 in the contract, and the pro- Pert, employed in it. The oat there'd to be paid by the pisintirs was 1,0141., of which SIM, wore to bn paid down, and the re mainder secured on • bond. It was agreAl between the parties that the transfer wan to be made on the 16:h of .May hint, provided the consent of the Postmaster-General could be obtained. If that condition could not be complied with, the agreement was to be void. On the 16th of May the money was paid, and the bond given by the el.:intifs and the property tranalerred by the defendant, with out either party taking any notice of the consent of the Peon:lister- General, which was subsequently refused. The defendant then re fused to pay back the money, or give up the bond, and the plain_ till: were compelled to sell the horses and other property purchased under thin agreement. The whole produced only the sum of lA. : They then commenced the action against the defendant, who on the Trial obtained a verdict. TheATTOIII;;;:I 7 :6ENERAL moved for a rule to shew cause why this verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. Ile contet,ded that the payment by the plaintiffs mulct only have been wade ou the mutual understanding of the parties. that the consent of the Postmaster-General had been obtained ; and in sup. port of this argument he referred to the evidence of the defend ant's clerk, who admitted that on the day before the payment he heard one of the plaintiffs make such an allusion to the consent as could only have ptoceeded front his having understood that it was then obtained. Under these circumstances the payment could not be considered a waiver of the condition. The l'ovat held that the condition only rendered the agreement avoidable previous to its being earned into effect. Itole refused. KING'S BENCH PRISON. A rule was obtained last term, calling upon William Jones. Esq. the Marshal of the 31arshalsea of this Cowl, to answer the misfires alleged in the petition of a person named John Elder Outfield, lately a prisoner for debt in the Marshal's custody. The petition stated on oath, that on the Bth of October last, John Jacobs, • debtor confined in the King's Bench prison, was committed by the Marshal to the county gaol, in Hatemonger-lane, for some acts of misconduct, or alleged misconduct 4 that in consequence of his in. slant removal to that gaol, his property being in danger of being left unprotected, he requested the petitioner to enter his room sad take charge of it, until 4 was removed by his wife or friends the next morning ; that the petitioner having acconlingly taken pos session of Jacob's room, shout half-Past seven in the evening, tour of the Marshal's officals carte and demanded admission into it that the petitioner replied through the door that he was left in charge of it, and wouldwot rectal, possession of it until ftta next morning, when Jacob's friends ahouki have removed his property ; that the officers then broke open the door, and refused to allow the petitioner even to make an inveinoype the goods in the MID that in consequence of thik visilettee many of the articles were da maged and spoiled ; that the officers ko quired the petitioner to go with them to the lobby, but it then bang a late hour, and as he knew the Marshal usually left the prison at five o'clock, he refused to go to the lobby ; that three of the officerathen came and assaulted him, and without producing any authority, forced him into the where, to his great surprise, hs /Quad the Marshal sitting, by whom he was immediately eommitWl to the strong room t that the following twilling he was committed to the county gaol, in iforsessonger lane, to solitary confinement for one 'moth, and im mediately conveyed there, and put into a damp stone cell, without any lire or candle ; that at five o'clock in the afternoon he was re moved to another cell, usually occupied by condemned criminal*, in which he remained 16 days, unable for several nights to sleep, by reason of the gnawing pains in his limbs, arising Irons the coldness and dampness of the cells ; that on his complaint to the medical attendant of the gaol he was ordered into the infirmary, where he , remained until the of November; and that during his confine ment he several times applied to the Marshal for copies of the de- Positions on which he was caninitted, but which were peremptorily refused. The petitioner submitted that he bad been wrongfully punished, and that die Marshal was without any cause that could justify the quantum of punishment he had suffered. Ile therefore prayed to be heard, and that the Marshal might be compelled to answer the natters alleged against him, and pay the coats of the application. The petitioner appeared on the Boot of the Court in support of the rule. AIL CAMPBELL rose to thew cause why the rale should be dia. charged. The petition contained a very grave charge against the Marshal, and imputed to him a serious abuse of his power. As the petitioner was -.-rated by Counsel, be ((Mr C.) would read his petition through, and afterwards the a ffi davits by which it was contradicted. The Learned Gentleman thou read tae pati don, which he remarked, on concluding it, was not corroborated by the affidavit of any other person. He then referred to the or ders and regulations for the government of the mime, on which the authority of the Marshal rested. By an odor made an thole& of May, 1749, and, owned by Lord Mansflaid mid. the ether Judges, the disposal of the rooms was vested i• the hilarabal *sly. By • further rule, dated May 19, 1760, and signed by the same Jadges, it was provided that if any prisoner *aid escape, or -at tempt to escape, or injure, assault, or abuse any other prioseseet any other person caning into the prison on lawful omatdoas, ar blaspheme the name of God, or swear or behave in a tiptoes and disorderly mouser, or conduct himself in . any other Impose contrary to the rules and orders alreedy made for the good govern ment of the prison, that It should be lawful for the Marshal to re move the party °Weeding to the gaol for the county of Surrey, of to the prison of the Marshalaea, or to the Bridewell within the be , laugh of Southwark, and there confthe him according to the as lant of his offence, not exceeding has calendar month, fur the first aim By a rule made by the ' rt Us Itinity 'foris,4n the 1111th Cleo. 114. (1817), it was prow' , that if any prisoner should, the without leave, keep or have any a • tuous liquors in hiapoesessios, It should be lawful far the Mars to remove him to etchers( thet beforementiooed gaols, for mai time as the Marshal should la his discretion direct. This was the power vested in t h e MarshaL Whoa, ther he had ill discharged his duty or abused his power, would be beet shewn by reading the affidavits to answer to that of the petitioner. First came the affidavit of Mr. Junes himself. It stated that on the Bth of October, he committed Jacobs for a &apron riot, if which he had been guilty within the walls Of the prison; that is pursuance of the deponent's orders, Jacobs was r that day to the county gaol in Ilormemonger.lane ; that his r thereby ally , became vacant, and deponent had therefore directed bert Wald. and some other officers of the prison, to enter the room end take possession of it for and in the name of the Marshal ; that having understood that some goods and chattels of Jacobs were there, de ponent directed the officers to take an inventory of them, in order to deliver it to Jacobs ; that the officers soon returned and informed the deponent that they had found the door of the room fastened in. that several persons were within ; that they had quietly de manded admittance in the Marshal's name, and were denial the same by Duffield, the petitioner, who also with threats refused to allow any other person withinside to do so ; that deponent thee di rected the officers to go back and force open the door ; that he was soon after informed by Ward that they had done so, and that they had found Duffield in the room, togs her with divers others who had been playing at cards, while the door was locked, and that spi rits were also found in the room ; that deponent considering this conduct as highly subversive of, and wholly incompatible with that order and discipline of the prison, directed Putii,l4l to be sent to hint in the lobby, that he might inquire into the circumstances that had occurred ; that soon afterwards Duffield was brought by three, when deponent having made inquiry into the circumstances of his obtaining possession of the room, ordered him into the strong room ; that on the next morning deponent again inquired into the facts ; and heard what Duffield suggested in his defence ; that Duffield demeaned himself very contumeliously, and expressed himself loudly and vehemently ; that deponent, considering that his conduct altogether tended to compromise the peace and safety of the prison, and with a view to deter others from following his example, committed him for riotous and disorderly behaviour to the county gaol in Iforsemonger.larte; that although on a former occasion, when deponent, by order of the Court, was proceeding to inspect the weights and measures of the prison, he was followed by Duffield who used much slanderous and contumelious language, which deponent felt himself called on to animadvert upon; he would not have committed him to the county gaol,if he had not ap prehended dangerous consequences from Outfield ' s inflammatory anguage and refractory demeanour ; that he was not directly nor indirectly swayed by any motive of ill-will, but solely by his sense of duty, as an of: cer of the Court; and that he had no power to give directions as to the treatment of Duflichl.in the county gaol, which was under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Magistrates. The next document read by the Learned Counsel was the commitment of Duffield. Ile then read the joint affidavit of James Blsden Ruspini, and Thomas Bright. The deponents stated that they were invited into the room of Jacobs, where they found Duffield ; that afterwards other prisoners came and played at cards; that' Ward, the officer, kneeled at ths,dcor sod demanded admission ; that Duffield answered, " The door Abell not be opened till to morrow ; " that Ittnapini said, " For Ode( sake, open the door t" that Du ffield replied, "No ; it shall not be opened ; let them break it open if they like and take the consequences ;" that another demand for admission was made, and then the door was forced open ; that before it W 35 forced, Duffield locked the door, and fastened down the window with the poker; and that he swore ve heniently the room should net be opened. The affidavit of Weil liam Waring Perry, stated that on the evening of the Bth of Oct. he happened to be near the room, but not within it ; that there appeared to have been a party smoking anti drinking; that he saw some spiritous liquor, whim he believed to be gin, found on the room being searched by the officers ; and that Duffield not only refused to open the door, but abused the Marshal in very gross and violent language, and swore he would not go to the lobby unless he was forced. The affidavits of Robert Ward, and Samuel Davis, the :timbal's officers were next read. They fully corroborated the statements in the prersling C a ffi davits. Having read these affidavits carefully through, Mr. Campbell said he should conceive it a waste of the time of the Court if he made any comments. lie was with him that the Marshal had satisfied the Court would agree only acted in the faithful discharge of his duty, and done what justice and humanity equally required. The petitioner, in support of the rule, then addressed the Court in a long and desultory speech, in which he was several times in terrupted for his irregular and unfounded attacks on the character of the Marshal, and the deponent who had joined in the affidavits in vindicating the Marshal. Ile contended that they were all un f lie ought to have been committed, it worthy of belief, and that i was not to a condemned cell that a prisoner in a civil action should be consigned. The LoanentEr JUVrICE said, that if a person lawfully as the mann t rr he or 'tounty Magistrates.

This was an application to compel the assignee of William Ma kin, the younger, an insolvent, discharged on the 20th of June last, under the Lords' Act, to attend the Court for the purpose of shewing why lie had neglected to perform the duties that devolved on him an assignee of the insolvent' s effects. Mr. IlicHAlins stated, that he made the application on the part of William Makin the elder, the insolvent's father. On the dis charge of the insolvent, his detaining creditor, a Mr. flitliird, was of course appointed assignee. The insolvent wan possessed of a freehold estate, on which there were two mortgages. The assignee had been requested to sell the insolvent's interest, but he declined to take any proceedings for that purpose. Mr. Justice B —Ought you not to move for a rule to thew cause why he should not be removed as assignee ? Mr. Illctrallnii--The Act says, that where the assignee shall be guilty of any fraud, mismanagement, or other misbehaviour, he should be ordered to attend the Court ue Judge by whom be was appointed. The Loan CHIEF Jorricc—The contest implies misbe haviour of some kind. Here you complain of his doing nothing at all. Mr. Justice BarLEY—The purpose of his attendance on the Court in the other awn might be that he should be pu nished. The holm Cwisr birSTlCE—Gifford is appointed slalom and refuses to act. That is your complaint. What titter remedy can you have than that he should be removed ? Rule granted to shcw cause why the assignee should not be re moved. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, WIATHINITZI, Thutemir, J*x. 29. (Sittings in Basco.] The Judges having been oreupied in the Court of Exchequer, did not take their seats until one o'clock. BEALEY V. BAXTER. Mr. Sergeant VATTOll;;;piiiceiiiainst the rule which Mr. Sregeant Teddy had obtained, on a fanner day, to show cause why the sum of 1,9001. should not be added to the damages awarded by the arbitrator in this case. It appeared that the ship, the Lady Banks, sailed from Calcutta on the let December, Vett, having on bond a cargo of sugar, indigo, &c. Some time after her de.. pasture she encountered a violent storm, and put into Trin comalee, when the captain was obliged to sell part of the serge ; the sum he received fur it he applied to repairing his vessel, and the remainder he transmitted to the owners of the goods sold. The ship. in prosecuting her voyage, wet with other difficulties, and was obliged to tl•row a part of the sugar overhead. The ship afterwards put into the Mauritius, and the captain landed his cargo there, when a fire took place, and thus de stroyed a considerable portion of the remainder of it. The captain then determined to proceed with his vessel no further ; and, con formably to the usual regulations, disposed of the ship, and the re. siduea - the cargo, by public auction. The plaintiff had brought an action against the defendant, to recover the value of the ship, and also the freight of the cargo. It was contended, on the trial, that the captain had acted tortuously, in disposing of it without the authority of the defendant. A verdict had been given for the plaintiff. It was left to arbitration, and the arbitrator, Mr. Bane wall, decided that the sum of 110 L should be paid for freight, being the amount of the freight at the time the vessel was lost, with a proviso that 1,9001. should be added to the award, if the ar bitrator was legally wrong inhis estimate. Mr. Sergeant TADDY replied at some length to the arguments of 111 r. Sergeant Vaughan,and contended that the value of the freight should have been taken at the time the vessel sailed from port, and not after the losses had ken sustained. Judgement deferred. SECONDARY'S OFFICE, BEDrOtD-ROV, THURSDAY. JAULARY V. [Before theSzcoxpAir Ovid a Special Ary.] LAIXO V. DELANTIIt. This was an action for criminal conversafion, in which the de 'fondant suffered judgment to go by default, and a jury mumbled yesterday for the purport, of assessing the damages. The case ap peared to have excited mare than venal intetest ; for long before the hour appointed for the inquiry the mom was excessively crowded with persona of the highest respectability. The plidatirs Counsel were Mr. Scariett, Mr. F. Pollock, and Mr. Wilde ; Mr. Brougham conducted the defendant's cast, and Mr. Cooper was of Counsel on the same side. Mr. Wit.ni opened the plendings. Mr. ikAULETT, In the commencement of his statement, said, that this amino was brought to 'termer compensation in damages for one of the severest injuries which a guilty man could inflict, or in honourable man endure. There was no necessity to dilate fur ther upon an injury which must be felt, eren at the very statement of iq by any man who possessed the ordinary feelings of bis na ture; therefore, said the Learned Gentleman, I shall abstain from any nppeal to your passions; but havitt„. , detailed to you dm very simple atm of my client's wrongs, I shall conclude by a few ob serimions in the way of answer, If I shall be so fortunate as to declamation, the stgaments for the defendant, which the ability, sad' declamation, and vigorous intelligence of his Learned Counsel may supply. Gentlemen, the plaintiff is now the Captain and owner of a merchant vessel. lie is by birth a gentleman, connect ed with some of the most respectable families of North Britian,' many of the members of whom arc not, I have reason to think, unknown to my Learned Friend Mr. Brougham. lie has been now married about ten years; he was married to the daughter of Dr. Steele, who resides in Essex; a man, who having educated his daughters in honourable principles, died, leaving them the re putation of an honest character. This lady was the eldest of many sisters: she el-messed great personal attractions: and after their marriage I shall prove to you that they enjoyed the most uninter. rupted felicity. With the exception of those voyages which were incidental to his profession and which caused their mutual regrets, they lived together in all the endearments that the marriage state could confer. Seven children, five of whom now live to mourn their mother's ruin, were the fruit of this union. I shall Mew you that up to the period of his last voyage, Mr. and Mrs. Laing lived together in a state of unruffled tranquillity. The place he selected for her residence was Charles-street, Northampton-square, where she lived in affluence, and even in splendour, for he supplied her liberally with all that she could desire. She was surrounded by friends. She wanted nothing that the heart of woman could desire, save her hesband's presence, and whenever a letter came from him she received it with delight. She accompanied him to Portsmouth before his last voyage, and watched the ship in which he sailed until it was no longer visible. For the firm year of his absence she lived in full reliance upon his faith, and faithful to her absent husband. The Learned Counsel then described her introduction to the defendant, and the details of their connection, which were fully stated by the witnesses; and in conclusion called upon the Jury to visit this offence, without excuse as it stood, with the most exemplary damages. The following letter, addressed by the mother of Mrs. Lens; to her daughter, and spoke to in the subsequent evidence, was read by Mr. Scarlett in the course of his statement, with the answer from Mr. Delamere "Charles-street, sth August, len. " Ilow shall I address you, my unhappy daughter ? How shall I beside to convey to your mind a sense of my affliction, without breaking my resolution not to reproach you, for that which must, at any interval of reflection, weigh heavily on your heart ; consent then to listen to the dictates of your conscience—fly from the presence of him who has sought your ruin, and rest assured you will, in the bosom of members of your own family, find a refuge, where nothing shall ever be said or done to add to your sorrows, but all will con. tribute to your comfort. Harry will receive you ; let me again earnestly entreat you to avail yourself of this only hope. Fly to some spot where I can see you alone, and acquaint me with it, and thus prove you still retain a degree of regard for the peace of mind of your too heavily AFFLICTED MOTHER. " Mrs. Laing." " klatass.--1 have this day received a letter from you direct.. to Mts. Laing, which, having her authority so to do, I have open. ed, and in reply to it I beg to inform you, that it is her fixed de , termination not to do that which you suggest. " I assure you, that in returning so positive an answer, I am only conveying to you Mrs. Laing's sentiments, and that were I to give you any hopes of an alteration in her ideas, I should only ' be deceiving you. I am, Madam, your obedient, humble servant, " JOHN DEL•IIERE. " Mrs. Steele, 21, T ipper Charles -street., Northampton-square.— Wednesday evening.' . The first witness called WWI Frances Dodd; she said she was for 10 or 11 years acquainted with Mr. Laing. She was acquainted also with Mr. Laing 's wife before her marriage, and they had beet married now about eleven years. " I have been," said the witness, " on a visit with them subsequent to their marriage, and they have been with me. They have now five children. The eldest child almost ten, and the youngest about two. I have had frequent op portunities of seeing them since thieir marriage. They lived in great harmony. They have often been at my house. They always appeared very ford of each other." t'ress-examineti by Mr. BROI*OIIAM—They never had a quar rel before me. I am no relation of the parties. It is betwmn 10 and 11 yearn since 1 first knew them. I went down with Mr. and Mrs. Laing when he went to sea. Re-examined.—Mrs. Lain.; always accompanied her husband, when he went to KY, to the place of embarkation. Mrs. Porter, examined by Mr. NVIEDE--Widow of the late Vicar of Billericay, in Essex. She has known Mrs. Laing's fa ncily foe nearly forty years. I have not t!le least idea how long it is since she was 'turned. I have been an occasional visitor at Mrs. Laing 's since her marriage. I never saw them together. I had a daughter who visited at Mrs. Laing's, and she was there for three weeks last year. Mr. Bnotroan Asa declined cross-examining this witness. Jonathan Dodd, husband of the first witness, said it appeared to him that Captain and Mrs. Laing lived on the most happy terms . He appeared an affectionate husband, and she an excellent wile and mother. Isabella Steele examined by Mr. SCAR LETT.—Before the wit ness reached the table she burst into tears, and continued for some time dreadfully agitated. As soon as she had slightly recovered, she said she was the sister of Mrs. Laing. She was not present at her sister's marriage. She was married in I/112. Her father was Doctor Steele, of Witham, in Essex. After my sister's marriage I continued to live with my mother. at Witham. Otter re. sided in London. I have often had opportunities of seeing them together. Did they lire happily?—Oh, yea. My sister was deeply at tached to her children. She etlocated them hertelf, and she took nench pains and much dtlight in teaching them. It was, indeed, impossible for any one to take more pleasure in her children. Mr. Laing was frequently absent on his voyages, and during such ab. settee they corresponded. Mr. BROUGHAM —l"p to what time are you speaking of ? Witness—Up to the last voyage. I remember my brother be coming a candidate fur the stuwnrd,hip of Hertford College. On that occasion I came to town. My sister lived then in Charles. street. Mr. Laing had furnished it very respectably. It was in April I came to town ; and my sister Anne HAS also in town was my brother Hobert. Our family had before that time some acquaintance with Mr. Delemcre. We had known him for some years. I was educated at his mother's school in !lambed, Essex. Mr. Delarnere was applied to upon the occasion of my brother b.:- coming a candidate for the stewardship of Hertford. I was then at my sister's house. sou at that time my sister's attachment to her children was unnbated. It was by my brother, I believe, that 31r. Delansere Teas introduced to my sister. I nev e r saw him while in town, My mother is now six.y.three years of age. After my sister's unhappy tall, she sent to her, through Mr. Jeekins, a letter, of which that Is a copy. Were the letter was handed to witness; which had previously been read by Mr. SCRTICH in his statement. I have never seen my sister sine.. Three of the children are no* with us, and two of them at Mr. Manning's. I never observed anything but uninterrupted felicity between them. Cross-examined by Mr. BROUGHAM—My titter was acquaint ed with Mr. Laing a f,:w munths before her marriage. Mr. Dela. mere's mother kept a school at Rumford : I taught at the school, and since that I kept a school myseif. I never was much in town with Captain and Mrs. Laing. I never observed my cm:arras. I They lived in Charles.snret, Nortlumpton.square. They kept one maid -servant, and had five children. Anne Steele wit also deeply stler.ed uron entering the room. Mr. Banes:RA w—Really, Mr. Scarlett, this is a very unples-i sant thing. It it is only to prove what has already been said, I think you might dispense with the exhibition. The poor girl was borne out of Court in violent hysterics. Robert Steele. examioel by Mr. Por.i.oh g—Said to the beet of his ressiketion it was hi December, 1812. the marriage took place between his sister and Captain Laing; he was not present at the marriage. They came to Witham after their marriage. I lived with them for some months. They lived together coon the most affectionate terms. Captain Laing is now about 33 years of age. I have observed Mrs. Laing's conduct during her husband's ab sence, and it was always strictly proper. 21r. Laing's first voy. age was to St. Michael's ; it was about five months alter her mar nage ; they hail then no family. I have had repeated opportu- Mama observing her conduct as • wife and a mother—it always was extremely prudent. I knew Mr. Dedamere. I knew him when he was articled at Ronsford. I introduned him to my sister on oc casion of tn_y becoming a candidate for the Stewardship of Hertford College. He made a calla my sister's for the purpose of seeing me. I knew from 51r. lalamere that he was roamed, and had a famil They met for the first time at my house. I know my sis.; tee'snd.vritt mg. [Several letters were handed to witness, which he said were in his aster's hand-writing] Cross-examined by Mr. Cacteze—l don't know how long the defendant lived in London. I don't know how long he premised before he came to London. He is now about nine and twenty years of age. My father and mother never saw Captain Laing un til after the marriage. Mr. Maiming, examined by Mr. Wri.ng, stated, that he knew Captain and Mrs. Laing intimately ; I have known Capt. Laing for seven years ; I was very seldom apart for a week front him when he was as home. They lived always as man and wife ought, in great felicity. I went with Captain Laing as far as Orevnend on his hug voyage. During his absence Mrs. Liking was attentive to her children, and fond of them exceedin. 1 know that while her husband was abroad , Mrs. Laing act ed as his agent, and she was extremely prudent generally. I had a communication with Mrs. Laing respecting the Epaoni races; I was disappointed by her not going there. I reside a t Surrey ('anal Wharf, Kent -M& I had reseal to believe afterwards that Mrs. Laing had been at the Epsom races with Mr. Delamere. In consequence of what passed with Mrs. Laing, I waited on Mr. Delamerer I saw hits - , not ate his house, but at the Saracen's Head Coffee-room ; he turned from me and conversed with the landlady ; I thought he migt not have seen me, but he gave inc what you call et cut direct, " he walk ed be me. I waited at Mr. Deamere's chambers to demand an explanation of his conduct. 1 said, "My motive in waiting on you is not concerning the Epsom races; 1 wish to ask you what you meant by your treatment of me in the coffee-room ?" He said Mrs. Lainc bad spoken of me in terms that authorised him to peso me ; he said that I had spoken ill of him and of his family. I des vied any knowledge of his family ; I said that I thought his con.duct was moat incorrect, in paying such attentions to a married we. man, himself being a marred man, and never having introduced her to his wife. He said he had done so. 1 knew this to be false. Hefter the Epsom races he said he could not go there. He said be would discordant his visits; he would pay her one more visit, and that was all. (lots-exerniaed by Mr. Bnoncitam—l have known Mr. Dar- MVO since April. parch Petit, examined by Mr. SCARLETI/....4 lived as servant with Mrs. Laing. I went to live with her previous to sliehaelmas 1117. The two eldest children went to school, and there were three in the house, She lived in Charles-strcet. Northampton-more; I lived with her until she left her house. she was very attentive. lb her childreet they did not dine with her, they were too email ; alias Rate and Master Berjatoin slept in my mistress's room ; Benjamin watenearly two years old ; another of the children slept in my morn. I remember that my mistress received lemma, and wax frequently anxious to receive letter. She was visited by her family. I saw Mr. Delamere for the first time some days before Mr. Robert Steele's election ; I never saw Mrs. Delamere there. One of my mistress's sisters. Miss Anne Heck, was on a visit with her when slr. Delamere called. At first he did not often visit her, but afterwardshis calls Deanne more frequent; she was very anxious about her husband's return ; she always taught her children their prayers, and when the two eldest sere at home they used alter din* net to drink, by her desire, their father's health. I recollect Mr. Delantere asking my mistrals to go to Epsom races; she refused and said Mr. Manning would be angry if she went- He pressed her to go, and on his leaving her he said he would call for her in the morn ing. He called with his gig, and my mistress went in that gig with him. She returned at eleven o'clock in a post carriage, with Mr. Delamere. 1 believe it was not his carriage. He slept there that night; I think be had slept there once before. He slept in the back drawing-doom ;my mistress in the front two-pair room, and I in the three-pair back room. Ile came occasionally to sleep these afterwards. He slept there one night about a week after the races. I went to bed on that night abouteleven or half-vast eleven o'clock. My mistress had gone up stairs; 1 accompanied her, and Mr. De. !mere went to his own room. The children slept in her room, as usual. I heard some one come up stairs. I heard my mistress's room door open. I heard talking in my mistress's mom, but I could not hear what was said. In about half an hour I heard the doer open again, and some one on the landing; and it appeared as if she was holding the banisters and et: melee. I heard her say, " Oh, my God ! I'll not go down." I heard his morn door open, and I they wad in. I heard her mention Captain Laing's name before she went in. I did not understand how she used it. I entered her room in the mowing. I perceived at that time no difference in her manner; but when I went up to dress her, at eight o'clock, she =Vvery low-spirited. She did not say much. I th oug h t ixen crying. Mr. Delamere spoke to the that :naming, and 'told me not to make his bed before breakfast, as his clothes were on it, and it would make them all dust. I said I world not ; I did, however, and the bed had the appearance of two perinea hay. ins _slept in it ; I obserral the sheets. Mr. SCAILLETT—I shall not ask you move Shalt the sheets, eept this—Who removed them from the bed ? Witness—My mistress herself. Her condors to her children was very much altered ; she did not attend to their prayers as formerly. I recollect her going with Mr. Delamere to the Lord Mayor's. I heard him tell her that she must go to the Lord Mayor's. She wished to dress very close; he wished her to put on a satin bat and feathers. Ile appeared to have an intendancy over her at that time --he gave orders in the house, and opened her letters. The day after they came from the Lord Mayor's, he told me that he was going away, and told me where to find him ; and as men as Mr. Jenkins or my mistress's sister called there 1 was to leave the chit dear and join my mistress. On that morning the children entered the MOM whilst Ma Dolamer• and ma miasma war* sa bovallamoe and be ordered them to be taken down to the kitchen. My 'Mitre,* did not see the children after that. They went away about twelve o'clock. I was ordered by Mr. Delamere to lock the children up in the kitchen, that they should not see their mamma. Cross-examined—l helped to pack up my clothes to follow them, and I sent my box by Mr. Delarnere's servant. This was two months after my master came from Epsom. I don't know the month he slept at nay mistress's house; it's ail gone out of my bead. I never told any body the story about the sleeping there that night. After I made this observation, about two people sleeping in the bed, Mr. Delamare still continued to sleep in the same room. I heard her say before that. Mr. Delaniere wanted her to go. I did not advise her to go. Did you not advise her not to go did. Strongly advised her ? —Yes. You asked her, perhaps, what would become of the children I did. _ _ Upon your solemn oath ?—I did. Said it was a pity tot her to go sway and leave the family P—l didn't say that. , Did you not say what will become of you ?—Na Wm. Jenkins is in the Navy Office, Somerset Roux.—l have been for eight or nine years intimately acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Laing they lived very happily , and she was most attentive to her children. I was acquainted with Mr. Laing's concerns : I witnessed his will about five years ago. In his absence she ma.. miged his affairs, and he left lice much property. I accampanieil them to Portsmouth. Mrs. Lai-g was gently agitated at the seri ration ; the kept looking at the ship long after it sailed. De remitted bills and cousiderable property to her. Mr. Baur GH AM.—Did you see her receive that money or what.. ever it mi. ?—No. Then you know nothing about it. Witness continued.—Upwards of cm. p o w t h roug h my hands from Mr. to Mts. Lang. )Ir.

I was at school at Mr. Delaineve's father's. I saw him at Mr. stetle*s election; 1 hint saw him, as 1 recollect, in company with Robert Steele, at Mrs. Laing 's house. In consequenee of some conversation that I had with .gra. Laing, I inquired of Mr. Itelamere respecting a visit to Epsom .races ; he denied that be had been there. Almost every time I called at Mrs. Laing's I saw 31r lklamcre there. I heard * • i t
