They were, hew. ever, ordered to be detained until after the Brand Jury were dip chargtd. Etiawril Kern's, aged fifteen, was indicted for stealing, on the 4th of January, a 201. Bank-note, the property of (Silbert A Mule, Tuning, Esq.„ a Barrister of Gray's Inn. The prosecutor was called by Mr. Nnarw s, and stated, that the prisoner had come to his service during the temporary absence from illness of his brother, who lived with the prosecutor; and that he hail locked up in his drawer, a day or two before, roar SOL mites, one of which he had missed. John Burnky, a constable, apprehended the prisoner on the Pith, of January and found fifteen sovereigns and some siker on his person. lie said he had given a sovereign to Thomas Cooper. Mary Ann Cooper, the mother of Thomas Cooper, deposed that her son came home very much intoxicated on Monday, the .Ith January, and she put him to bed with his clothes on: the next morning she Mand a eovemign in the bed. Thomas Cooper, the sea of the last witness, merely proved that he had been in company with the prisoner on the sth January, when he saw him with a peat deal of money. Martha Taylor was in Mr. Young's chambers on the 11th January, when the prisoner was searched by the officer. She asked him how be opened the drawer in which the notes wqm placed ? lie answered, 'by using the key of the cupboard, whidi he found in the lock." The witness tried this key, and found It fit exactly. The witness was laundress to the prosecutor. Gmilty—Drib. The prisoner was strongly recommended to mercy by the Jury and prosecutor. James Art r was placed at the bar for burglariously entering the dwelline-house of Robert Austin, situated in the parish of St. Mar garet, It'estminater, and stealing, on the 22d December, a watch, chain, and seals, his property ; and his brother, Thomas Kerr, was charged with receiving the same, knowing them to be stolen. The whole of this case rested on the evidence of the proateutcit's wife, who stated that she had been married about eleven months to Austin, who was a soldier in the Guards, and that on the day in question the prisoners, whom she had known about three years, called upon her, and persuaded her to accompany them to a liquor , shop in Strutton-ground, where they called for • Wass of rum sod water, and James Kerr le ft her for about eight minutes. She had locked the door of her room, but not taken the key out of it ; and her husband's watch was hanging over the fire•place. When he returned be was In a great hest, sad said he bed been walking fast. She staid at the public-house about a quarter of an hour, and when she gut home, she missed the watch. In her cross.examination by hlr. PlllLT.rre, she said that doe, never lived at Chelsea, and never went by the minseef Peary ; that shehad known the pioneers for about three years, bat never intimately. She bed never allowed either of them to sakes liber ty with her, and had never given them any property to pledge for her. A pawnbroker produced the watch, and positively swore that Thomas Kerr had pledged it. Gilmore, a Queen-square officer, proved the apprehension of the prisoners ; and, on searching one of them, hefound the duplicate of the watch and a seal that the prosecutor swore toss his property, when he identified the watch and chain. On the part of the defence, several witnesses deposed that they had known Mrs. Austin when she lived at Chelsea, by the named' run, ; that they hail frequently seen her drinking with the Karel and that she often went after them when they were at work : sad one witness proved that be saw her on the night in question give something to James Kert, which appeared to Mini like swatch, and Mrs. Austin told hint that she wanted a few shillings, and he mast 01 to get a pound upon it. 31 r. Baron H tots observed to the Jury, that he thought they would probably coincide with him in believing it not quite safe to find the prisoners guilty on such evidence as Mrs. Austin's. The Jury instantly acquitted the prisoners. LONDON SESSIONS, WtuNkion.ty, JAN. 14. Thomas Srlby, the driver of one of Means. Whitbread's drays, was indicted for a Wanton and dangerous insult upon John Cle ments, a fishmonger, at Slough, and on his son Henry, a child not three years old. On the lath November the prosecutor was in a light tart, and his child was alerping at the bottom of it. Upon turning eat of one of the streets into Fish-street-hill, perceiving a space between tine drays, be drove into the line, and was p oeeeding to wards letadoo-bregye, when the defendant, the driver of the second dray, determined to regain his position cleft in the rear of his com panion availed himself of an opening between the prosechter's vehicle ' and the footway drove in his horses, sod locked thefore part of his dray in the wheel of the cart. The prosecutor entesated him to stop, and he did so for an instant ; but before the wheel meld be stop, the defendant again moved forward, sspbtg —"1.1--a you, I have got you now ; if you don't get yett r i'R hoar kto Meese." This threat he 11.` wheel of the complainant's cart was shattered to .... ;tWris r ethe thrown down in the road, both the shafts broken, and the sleeping infant chucked mat. Fortunately, however, he was caught by the father, who bad just time, an instant before, to leap out Mnaself. Such was the evidence given by the prosecutor, and his wife, who was walking on the foot pavement by the side of the cart when the ask happened ; and their story was fully corroborated by Mr. llamas, • tradesman in Botolph-bate, who also spoke to the con dom of the defendant, who, while he (Mr. Barnes) was taking his somber, was the a huigh of the &SW. Mr. Flint, the habert, on Fish-sweet-hill, who had wk. awed the whole affair from his drawing-room window, described the defendant's =duet as most wanton and unfeeling. He I whipped his horses, though the dray was entangled with the cart, and appeared to be laughing and jeering at the expostulations of the by-standers. Mr. Barnes and himself, he said, had gone with the complainant to the brewhoose the next day, but were unable to obtain even the expenses of the repairs of the cart. ' Mr. ADOLPHUR and Mr. eurati.ze Pati.virs, for the de fendant, cross-examined the witnesses with great minuteness, and established the fact that no injury had been sustained either by the father or the child. In the course of the cram-examination of Mr. Flint, Mr. Anon.- reirs ' who was interrogating him, not being able to make him osmprcliend pteciscly the nature of his piestion. on putting it to him the third time, added, somewhat inclignanily, " Sir, I speak plain English, though I do not use such tine words as you do, and talk about infants being ptupelled from a cart, and such stittfas we ban juts . . _ . Mr.. Flint_" Sir, I am not to be borne down by the unbearable insolence and licentiousness of Counsel." Mr. Awot.ru " Nor I, by the insolence of a man who con. ducts himself in the witness-boa more like an Advocate than an evidence. (live me your answer, Sir." r. Flint was silent. Mr. Anist.ritusisifter a short pause)—" Well, Sir ?" Mr. l am really so very dull, Sir, that I cannot under stand your very intelligible language." Mr. AnoLvittis—* You are indeed much duller than you think yourielf. I will ask you again, Sir." Mr. Flint-.." Oh! very well, Sir ; as often as you plume." Mr. Annupllllll.--" Did you not, at Mr. Whitbread' s, suggest to the prosecutor that he h ad omitted a part of his story—nsuiety, that the accident did not happen till after he stopped ?" Mr. Flint—" That's impossible; the dray must have been mov ing at the time of the accident." Mr. ADOLPHUS—" That is no answer to my question. Did you suggest that the accident did nut happen till after the defend ant stopped ?" Mr. I. list.—" I think what I said"- 1 3, 1 r. ADOI.PIIIT2I--" I will have an answer—yes, Of no . " _ . . . Here another rally, of a similar description, not „ very fitting for a Court of Justice, ensued, which terminated by the Counsel tell ing the witness he might stand down. Mr. ADOLPHUS then addressed the Jury. One of the greatest evils of the present day, he said, was the perversion and stretching out of the criminal law, to meet every description of supposed wrong ; and he deprenueithe danger of that Court giving its sanction to the doctrine of constructive assaults. To constitute an assault in law, there must be a malicious motion towards the party as saulted, and that party must be within the probable reach of such ruction. Bat here an assault was charged as upon the child, of whose existence, and still less of its being in the can, the de fondant could nut have been at all aware; and it was not pre tended, after all, that the child had received any Injury. This he contended was palpably a case of damage, and not personal vio lence, and the remedy should have been sought by action I or, if the sufferer was poor, by other more summary methods which the law pointed oat. Three witnesses, viz. the prisoner's fellow-servant, the driver of the first dray, the driver of a Greenwich coach, and a waggoner, were called foe the defence, who insisted on a very different account of the &fele. attributing the blame to the defendant. The Learned it isconnEa, in summing up, observed, that the endangering the lives of individuals, in a manner similar to what had been described in evidence, although no personal injury might Imre been sustained, had repeatedly been decided to be an assault; and _ . . . . . —.- The Jury, without leaving the box, brought in a verdict of Guilty. The RECORDER, after some general observations on the impel,-' priety of conduct evinced by persons of the prisoner's description, and the total want of feeling exhibited by hint through the whole of this strait, sentenced him to three months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. CAMBRIDGE SESSIONS, JAN. 14. IRVure the RUCOILDEI.I CHARGE OF SWINDLING AGAINST A STUDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY. _ The Court House was crowded to emcees at an early hour, and Members of the University were to be seen in all parts of it, in consemence of a long-standing and serious accusation against one of tile Students of Trinity College . 17pon the bench sat several of the Fellows of the Uruversity, and other gentlemen of the highest respectability in the County. The case excited the deepest interest., on account of its novelty, as connected with a Student of Cambridge, and the respectability of the family of the accused. ----- James Suck was indicted, for that be, not minding to get his living by truth, but bei n g evil-disposed, and donning how list night obtain possession of the goods of others, for his unthrifty living, did Send a letter, or cause a letter,to be sent, in use name qj William Henry Ord, which later was false and fabricated, ea Newby, of Cambridge, fur four volumes of Ileind's • To this indictment the defendant pleaded Not Guilty. Them vii aupther indietwen‘ ch+giag 018.264 up, in ,tlr 7 777 sane fort, with' having sent a false lad fabricated letter, in the mine of Themes Lord Haigh, to William Warreker, of Cam bridge, Me a domes pair of black silk stockings, a quantity of shirts, Tosilk oves, he. o this hidictment he also pleaded Not Guilty. The dellatiant was permitted to sit at the table, text to his Counsel and Solicitor. .Mr. PniacE conducted the prosecution. The defendant, he I anti. was a student of the Inner Temple, and was lately a member of Trinity College. The Jay must doubtless hear with astonish ' a young man in such a station of life, and so respectably attl„ was indicted for the offence which had just been particu his circumstance would probably be alluded to in the defence attuned as an argument against the probability of guilt ; but it shade( be considered that men were only rich in proportion to their power of making their expenses subservient to their ability, and that was a good definition of affluence which stated that he was • rich man who laid by more than lie expended. It would be proved that the defendant had availed himself of the knowledge which his academical intercourse with some gentlemen of the Ilmversity gave him, and that he adopted • course which disgraced himself, and reflected discredit upon the University. 'flie indictment was founded upon two Acts of Parliament, the 33d of Henry VIII. which enacted, that if any we obtained goads by colour of false pretence, or counterfeit letter, he should be punished by fine or im prisonment; and the 1111th of Gee. 11. which extended the offence to any false representation whatever. There were several counts which the Learned Counsel enumerated, but which it is wholly un necessary to notice here. Mr. Newby, the prosecutor on the first indictment, was, he said, a beakeeller, and had had some dealings with the defendant. On the 51st of July he received a letter to the following effect ;-- " Isle of Wight. " Mr. Newby—Sir—Be so good as to send me immediately a copy of Ileyne's Virgil, four volumes large paper if you have it ; also an edition of Horace. lam in the Isle of Wight with my tu tor, and shall be moving about constantly. I have a parcel corning from the Bull Inn, Aldgate, on Friday, and will thank you to send the books (firmed there in the Safety Coach, till called for, so as to reach the inn in timerto be forwarded to me. • " I am your obedient servant, " Trinity College." ' " W. R. ORD. Now Mr. Ord ahead be produced, to prove that be neither had written the letter nor mat Roiled the writing of it. Upon receiving it, Mr. Newby made no scruple to prepare the books ; but not being supplied with some of them, he was induced to apply to another bookseller Mr an accommodation usual amongst the trade; and he then • that this letter was not a solitary instance of the libaty teltai a some ; for another latter had arrived eseertau4 fawn the Isle e ply* an order in a different name far boo* mod Mere strong reason to suspect that the eibenibed names of dm gentlemen had been forged, and that the forgery was by the same person. Mr. Newby, notwith standing- the doubt suiting in his mind, executed the order. He, however sand • person to watch his supposed correspondent, and determ ined, if any fraud was meditated, that proper steps I should be taken to detect the offender. An officer was forthwith despatched to London, with directions to apprehend any person or persons who should call for the parcel directed to Mr. Ord, and the parcel was sent off to the Bull at Aldgate. As was expected, • person called for the parcel in due time, received it, paid the car :Lupo,' it, and in walking away was apprehended by the Cam constable, under melt circumstances as proved his guilt, fee he betrayed symptoms of confusion, and had upon him a slip e paper which contained memorenda, forming a clue to the whole ash of imposition upon the Cambridge shopkeepers. It was needless to say that the person apprehended was no other than die_ prisoner. • Mr. Ruler, for the defendant, took several legal objections to the preeeediegs, anl ably contended that his client ought to be sequined. The Rue OinZle, however, _overruled the objections, and Mr. His xr then said he should have the case in the hands of the defendant, who was preparing for the profession of which he *cold one day be an ornament. The defer t, who sat at the table neat to his Counsel, then terse. The time of trial, to which he had looked forward with so mach anxiety, had at length arrived, and deeply painful as his eadeipations had been, they fell far short of the present overwhelm- Masa' his hese. 1e stood th ere chsrged with an o ff ence satiety which be revered, against a Clod at whose name he and whose worship he adored--he stood charged as a oniseela Silsbee.

It was true he had the books in his pesesesian—it was eleis he had the slip of paper in his possesaioe ; so fur the appearances militated against him, but this posseselon had nothing to do with a false pretence. Not one word of evidence has been adduced in proof of that most indispensable material in a charge of fraud. A ink was wanting in the chain, and the aim *anon limo fiat* fell to the ground. The intention of the accused was as tree from evil as were the thoughts of those whom he now addressed, and happy would he have been had his uounsel listened to his suggestions, and 'Keened to press any legal point, con tent to let him stand or fall by the unvarnished representation of the real facts. It was indeed a source of great satisfaction to him that the Learned Recorder had over-ruled the objec tions which had been advanced for such • subterfuge, as an ap plication to errors in legal writings or statements, as a ground of acquittal, was only fit for the guilty. There was • heroic innocence as well as a heroic courage; he felt the latter in all its rigour, and to the trial by Jury, which must be called the palladium of British liberty, so long as it remained incorruptible either by passion or avarice, he would rather submit the case than appear to be under an obligation to mistake or inaccuracy for the result of the trial That the books were meant to be obtained fraudulently he had no hesitation in believing, but that he became possessed of them in a just and honounible manner he would cootrince the Jury that there was as little doubt; and he hoped they would de mand the most undeniable proof that be was the writer of the letter, before they cons idered him guilty. The defaidant then went into a detail of his acquaintance with a Mr. Hales, whom he first met on the turf, and in allusion to the present charge said, that this Mr. Hales informed him of his wish to leave hoodoo, and observed to the defendant that he could execute &commission for him. Hales said—" I have been commissioned by Mr. (rd, Mr. liennitch, and Lord Hay, to have some parcels which they expect in London from Cambridge, transmitted to them." Lead, et once, to mamma date him, that I would attend to the business t he thanked me, amid said that the academy' to whom he was to seed the parcels, were in the Isle of Wight ; but, said he. Idea% know any thing about the Isle of Wight , I am quite a stramor to it ; however, I 'ball on my return do all that is neemsary, tf you will be so ° m g _ ' log as to get the parcels, which are to be directed to the Bull Inn, into your pores on, sad keep them in • corner of your bed-room. I consented to do so, and to pay whatever charge might be made, and, Gentlemen of the Jury, The very head and front of my of fence bath this extent, no man.' I did not think it necessary to send a porter for the parcels, for I calculated that he must be paid half-a-crown for the wend from the Bull Inn to Adam-street in the Adelphi and • coach would not coat me more ; I, therefore, having nothini se t s e do, walked to the Bull, applied for the parcel without fear or nation, obtained it, and was walking down the steps to call a coach, when the (alto laid hold of Me.— I repeat, bed= the Loaf ..itheiglity Gad, that my conduct was that of an honest meat--that my conduct is that of an innocent man, who has been imposed upon by a villain. This is the plain "unvarnished tale" of the whole scene of misfortune. The same account I have always given, and the same I shall give at die judge rent seat of Christ. 'The defendant then applied himself to other matters of defence, and insisted upon the improbability of his committing the alleged fraud from pecuniary motives. He would prove that his credit at Cambridge was good—that, upon a pike von to any shopkeeper there, he would not have been refu that even Mr.Warreker, one of the witnesses for the prosecution, allowed that he was to be depended upon ; for after the charge had been made, that gentleman begged to be allowed to send him twenty pour.ds' worth of goods. Mr. Vi'arreker was here, and he had it in Iris power to deny it if he could. Mr.Warreker.—lt is not true. Defendant—He had, be said, plenty of witnesses to prove that Mr. ‘Vareeker had made the request. The case was wholly without support, and persons in the Courts above knew it, for it had not nut only been submitted to gentlemen of ennnenCe at the bar, but to a Judge, and they expressed their surprise at charging a man who could =emend an. at any time, with a robbery of its. The Itcconnxii—l cannot, defendant, permit that to be said of a Judge, who it is impassible the case could have come before him. The defendant asked, whether it was not reasonable to suppose, that if he wanted money, he would part with his chronometer, foe which he could have got HS guineas in an instant, rather than have to send to Cambridge for 41M. worth of books to supply his necessities ? Let the Jury look at the case as they would, they would see no more than this—that he formed acquaintances with greater speed than discretion, and the only point is dubio was, whether he was not the dupe of a villain. He declared, that as he hopial for salva tion he was cruelly and unjustly punished; that he complained not of prosecutors or Magistrates, who were carried :,way by the torrent of suspicion, and that whatever might be his fate, even though the verdict should hurry his dying mother to the grave, he should offer to God the effusion of a soul as resigned as it was innocent. if the Jury believed hint to be guilty, after such posi tive assurances of innocence, they must believe him also to he the most perjured and iniquitous of God's creatures, who would be content to destroy his soul through all eternity, upon condition of cseping from a trivial punishment. Us begged die jury to reflect upon the consequenees of an unfavourable verdict to him anti his family, and to prove by thchr decision that he would not be in duced to ruin the hopes of his brothers, who were all younger than himself, and to become the digitontmottrari if every passer by ; that he would not by an act of baseness subject himself to banishment front his friends, a homeless living monument of blighted ambition and detected villany. He wanted not such an acquittal as would be calculated to throw the least shadow on his innocence ; sooner would he rush into the presence of his Ood. The acquittal he wanted was that which would restore him to confidence and felicity, the reward of his innocence and the test of his truth. (At the conclusion of this speech, there were some expressions of admiration, but they were checked by the Recorder.] Several witnesses were then examined for the defendant, who generally considered him trustworthy, and incapable of a swindling transaction. J. Brown, Esq. Tutor of Trinity College, in his eras-examina tion, said, "I have my doubts whether he is or is not incapable of a swindling transaction." The RECORDER then summed up the evidence. He observed that the case was of vast importance to the public, who should, upon all occasions, be informed that no station, however high, could exempt a guilty person front the operation of the law. It was also of paramount importance to the defendant, for the verdict must either restore him to society, or consign him to infamy and disgrace worse than death. In the appeal made by the defendant to the feelings of the Jury, they Wee to consider that, powerful as it was. it consisted of mere &aimless, unsupported by evidence. The Jury rented, and in two hours returned a verdict of Gadfly. The defendant seemed to be quite overcome at hearing his doom; he hid his face between his bands and subbed. The RECORDER then addressed him, and said the evidence had been such ea to leave no doubt of his guilt in the minds of n who heard it. The sentence of the Court was then passed upon the defendant— almiprisonment for two years. The defendant does not appear to be more than eightetr. Of nineteen years of age. IThe trial lasted ten hours, and the Court and passages were crowded up to the moment the sentence was passed. POLICA. GUILDIIALL. Two THIEVES ADROITLY CAUGHT.--Thosses Msrsday and Jelin Lineman, were charged with felony yesterday, before the sitting Alderman, under the following ciremustancest.-- Mr. Alabson, a, Alderrnanbury, had lately missed several pieces of lions, at different times, out of his warehouse, without the slightest suspicion how they could have gone. A friend of his had asked persuasion to stow away a mattress in the warehouse wine time ago, and as the prisoner , Munday had come there fre quently in the hours of bus iness, under the pretence of being sent to fetch it away suspicion arose that he availed himself of those opportunities 10 commit the robbery. With a view to detect him he was directed to come for it on Tuesday, and previous to his being sent into the. ros i s tou se to get it. Mr. Mabson and a friend secreted themselves his motions, and saw him very deliberately help hi a piece of linen, which he instantly took in great haste. to Ms panion Lawrence, who was waiting at the door, and was bawd him to be off with it directly. As Munday, in all his vides so die warehouse, had been accompanied by some one or otheiwbont be left waiting on the outside, .Mr. Mabson had pre pared for thatyircumstance, and no sooner had Lawrence got pos session of the linen, than he was quietly seised and secured by the Mantstationed to watch for that purpose. Munday, however, on turn Into the warehouse, finding himself detected, chewed tight ; but lllt. Mabson knocked him down, and, with the assistance of his friend, put him also into safe custody. The ease against both the prisoners was so clear, that they might have been fully committed fur trial upon the evidence given ; but Mr. Mabeon suggested that there were several others in the gang, and that he believed he had got a clue to them, as well as to the place where the other stolen property was deposited, and he there. fore wished them remanded, till he could avail himself of the assistance of some of the City Officers. Turispenny, a very efficient officer at this sort of business, was accordingly instructed to give his assistance, and the prisoners were remanded till Friday. BOW-STREET. Yesterday Admiral Sir James Saunterer attended upon Sir R. Dilute, for the purpose of giving information of a robbery, by which he was a sufferer, committed on the evening before. fie and Lady Sauntarez guttural London on Tuesday evening, in • chaise and four, on a visit to Admiral Sir J. Ord, at Beckenham. and among luggage was a trunk, containing his insignia of the Order of the Bath, Lady Samara' jewels, several dr esses, and other valuable property. The trunk was seen safe when they the Green Man turnpike, but was missed about three miles Ffurther on the road. Printed hand-bills were ordered to be circulated, and other steps taken to discover the property • but of this there is very, little chance, as those who commitooltberies of this kind Misieeperuseed thieves, and know where to find as immediate market far any booty, however valuable. The simple precaution of having lug gage fastened with an iron chain is an effectual security against the depredations of this description of thieves, who, in the vocabulary of the police, are called Firemen. Joseph Thad. a nototious pickpocket, who, when detected, always affects to be an ideot, was fully committed for picking the pocket of Mr. Morris, a student of Lincoln's Inn, at the door of an oyster.alio in Brydges-street, at the close of the theatres on Tuesday night G George ivies, a hay-salesman, was summoned to answer to an information exhibited against him by Mr. Pearson, a corn chandler, in Castle-street, Oxford-stmt, for selling 52 trusses of straw short of the legal weight. It was proved that Mr. Pearson purchased 34 trusses of straw of defendant, in the Ilaymartet, and upon weighing them 52 were found to be deficient in weight : the aggregate deficiency amounted to more than 2 cwt. Mr. Gingles said that he was not the offender, the straw being sent to him for sale by a Mr. Cable, a farmer, at Bromley, Kent. He knew nothing of the packing of the straw, and was merely the agent of thepropuctor. The Magistrate told him that he was the responsible person, under the statute; but observed, that he would have his remedy against Mr. Cable. The defendant was convicted in penalties and costs, amounting to 41. 10s. Yesterday a pair of " Light o' Loves," who gave their names Chapman and Thompson, were brought from the watch-house of St. - Paul, Covent-garden, charged with being disorderly in Brdges-street on Tuesday night. l'itagerald, a watchman, from the land of potatoes, stated that at nine o'clock on Tuesday night the two ladies were using very bad expressions to a gentleman—too bad, indeed, for hint to min lion. Ile told them to move on, instead of doing which they " began taking hint off:" so, in requital, he thought proper to take them off to the watch-house, where he charged them with ' being disorderly. The defence, which was intrusted to the damsel clad in • smart Scotch plaid dress, and Leghorn bonnet, denied in tom having been abusive, or using bad language to an person, alleging that they had only been taking a drop of something to keep the frost out, and were merely bidding each other good night. She also preferred a counter-charge against Mister Fitzgerald, of letting a third lady, who she declared was the person who abused the gentleman, walk about her business, which Mr. Fitzgerald most stoutly denied. Mr. MIWSHULL said he should always make it a rule to punish all who did not disperse when desired to do so by the watchmen, and committed both the ladies for one month to the noun of UOCTCCti.III. WORSHIP-STREET. CIIIIILTY IX AXVIE;;EEII.-- Mr. Croadrll, or Creswell, the assistant overseer of the parish of St. Mary, Stoke Newiogton, appeared before ROBERT llEvict, Esq. the Chief Magistrate of this establishment, in pursuance of that gentleman's summons, to answer the complaint of a poor distressed tradesman, named Warren, who, with his wife and five cbildten t hail, through the reversed fortune, been driven to apply to the ahoy* Pariah. their legal settlement, for support; out 01 which circumstance the present arose of complaint arose. The poor fellow stated, that he was by trade a tailor, and had formerly lived in respectability ; but, from misfortunes in trade, ht became very distressed, and had latterly lived with his family, en ' during the greatest privations, in the parish of St. Leonard, Steditch. He contrived to procure food for his wife and little ones as long as he was able ; and when he could no longer do so, he applied to the parochial officers of Shoieditch, who, learning their legal settlement was Stoke Newington, gave them tem. porary assistance as casual poor, and, by an order of removal. paned them to their right parish. where they arrived on Saturday, the 24 inst. Ile, on his arrival, applied to the assistant overseer, now present, and he placed him and his family in an uninhabited house in Church-lane, and supplied them with bread and butter. Shortly alter they had been introduced into this asylum, the de. fendant brought them a truss of straw, and told them that must answer for their bed ; he also brought sonic coals, with which they made a fire, and was permitted by the defendant to keep it burning all night, as he said the walls might be damp, the house being so long untenanted. Mr. flyet tr.—Was the straw the only bedding allowed you and your wife and five children ? Warren—lt was, Sir, and all of us were shivering with cold all night, although there was a tire in the room, but it was owing to our having no nip or any thing to throw over us : infect, I thought my wife and the infant at her breast would have died in the night, from the intensity of the cold. Mr. Beet Lt. —Then you all slept in your clot lon on this bed of straw, I suppose ? Warren replied in the affirmative. He continued to state that the second day of their !ridging in this cold habitation, the tame rations and sort of food was supplied them, which was about • pound of bread each, rod half a pound of butter amongst them. This allowance was continued all along, but the tires at nit were desired to be discontinued, and the consequence was, that they reposed at night on the straw. and were nearly perishing. The infant at its mother's breast took cold, and was then in a dying state. He had repeatedly told the defendant, that unless some bet ter provision for his family was afforded, they would certainly be destroyed ; but lie took no notice, and they lingered on in the same miserable condition. On the following Wednesday it was proposed to allow him eight shillings a week if he would take his family to town, as he would be more likely to ob tain work there than at Stoke Newington. He told the who made the overture, that if they would furnish him witr e ir:: out he would take a lodging in the metropolis, and he had no doubt but he could earn bread for himself and family ; but this they re fused, and nothing more was said on the subject. Next day he heard of a job of work in London, and he accordingly left his family ..at Stoke Newington; and almost immediately after he had gone, i 1 his wife and three of the children were taken frcrn the room win, they , had liven, and sent into the workhouse, anti the other two children were left behind in the room. However, they *ere oni , permitted to remain there till Friday night, when they were turw ' f into the street, and they being without a rag to their backs 0; ~ shoe to their feet, they were drenched with the rain, that then in torrents. Their wretched situation excited the feel ing , e • Mr. Class, the overseer, who provided them with a lodging e r , 0 0 night, and neat morning they found they could not get into o n room again, as the assistant overseer, the defendant, had 5 4 , ' the door with a padlock. In this state of thing. the boys se t sat ill on the London road barefooted, to look for bin, cooling home, ,; fortunately met with hint at Kingsland, and related their tab him. Ile returned to the house, and broke open the door, by whi c i, means he obtained a shelter once more for himself and ptruhur children, where he had been ever since; and the abide ij red . IC week up, to the present period, he had received no assistarte h it the parish. Magistrate—What money did you receive altogether hem 0 „ defendant r r Warren—About seventeen shillings, your Worship, in nine di n Ten Alagistrate—Seventeen shilliogs ! the least that ought have b e ',„, allowed you was aid. a head per diem. Magistrate—What have you to say in answer to this chug ; 4 :. Overseer ? The Overseer said, that some of the allegations were thew, a correct. He would wish to explain how he came to give ow n* • thing but straw to lie upon : some time hack, say two motion, the parish gave them a mattress to lie upon, and no sooner had 'tie d , , 01 &nulled, than they took out the straw and disposed of the Mt. ' ' i Don't tell us what happened before thei r l an ~. moo but yourself to the complaint since the 2d hwy., . The Overseer said, that be certainly had only given then en. to lie upon • he considered they ought to put up with that, 0 ' they had before lain in a similar manna to satisfy their ern or. 4 1 vesamce. The worthy Magistrate said, that hisconduct was most intolenk, and he ought to beindietai; he might rest assured he would beam Dc to gaoL r. The overseer attempted to reply, but Mr. Devitt. said, that he was sure the parish would ri support their officers in such conduct; he, assn inhabitant. s o d; take upon himself to say, foe the parish, that they would no: k disgraced by such &proceeding as the present. It certainly ro e , „,, disgrace to the parish ; but he was conscious it did not wi s h Hares to be moved by ill-treating a poor and wretched family. 't T l , The Overseer said that the family had been a very heave boa upon the parish foe some time. Magistrate.—And on that account, then, I suppose, add ".• yourself Justified in placing them in a damp room, without lido clothing, by which means the death of this poor infant is libi gn .. ensue. The Overseer said he had provided medical assistance fora child, as soon as he learned it required it. , Magistrate.--What right had you to separate the family' I 4 ' say publicly that it was most cruel and unjustifiable ; sod y r , ought to be indicted. The Worthy Magistrate hoped that his op. I . mon might be propagated for the guidance of all parish officers. I. 2 The Overseer declared he had no motives but the parish intent • ' - In acting as he had done ; and he would instantly give Wanes tot • his other two children an order to go to the rest of his tinnily tt ' SO the poorhouse. The order was then made out and given to Warm:l4l.hp et. . i pressed his gratitude to the Worthy Magistrate for his Lind inte. . o r !cream.
