GELLIE. - Mt. Sergeant VAVOnaw moved for a rule to shew cause why the further proceedings in this case should not be stayed. This was an action on a replevin bond given by the defendant under the follow ing circumstances. The defendant was under-tenant to Sir Gerrard Noel, and the other tenant having let his rent run in smear, the defendant was distrsined upon by the plaintiff', although he had I paid his rent to the immediate landlord. Under thesecimunstances, be commenced an action of replevin, but having expected some arrangements to be made, and having offered to pay the rent to the plaintiff, if he received an indemnity, he had not duly prosecuted the action ; in consequence of which the plaintiff had obtained an assignment of the replevin bond from the Sheriff, nod bad com menced the present action. Ur, Sergeant PEASE, who was to have shewn cause, it once said that he was ready to give the indemnity required, on which the motion was postponed, to give the panics the opportunity of making the arrangement. The Cunt/ JUSTICE sat at twelve o'clock to try NW Pfiitt cases, mooed which were of any public interest. HUNT'S CONFESSION. The knowing confession (rays a Sunday Paper) was weds by Hunt to Mr. Hamer. his Solicitor, previous "to his trial, for the reasons he assigns In the commencement; and aeppy of it, signed by the prisoner, has been since deposited at the Office of the Secre tary of State:— As the issue of the present prosecution is extremely uncertain, and as the consequences to me are very likely to terminate fatally, feel it a duty which I owe to society to make a full and true eon. fession of all the circumstances attending the melancholy death of Mr. Ware, and also of my acquaintance with, and knowledge of, the parties implicated in his murder. lam anxious to pertorm this duty previous to the taminationof the trial, in order that if I should be doomed to suffer, my mind after conviction may be composed, and that I may not be interrupted by any importunity or applica. tions for confessions, or other worldly considerations, but that may be able to employ the whole time allowed me in this world to my devotions, and my endeavours to make atonement to the Almighty for my crime. I do, therefore, now make this true and honest confession, and desire that it may be considered as my solemn dying declaration. A 6out 'three years ago, when I kept the Army and Navy Coffee House, in St. Martin's-lane, I first became sequinned with Wm. Prober. ; I had seen him before in comp any with Mr. Noyes, his brother-ln.law, at the house of my wife 's sister, Mrs. Mountain ; but I did not then know who he was. While I was keeping the Army and Navy Coffee House, Mr. Noyes called on me several times to solicit my custom for wine, and I was at last induced to give him an order for Port and Sherry to the amount of ten or 'twelve pounds. A few days after this order was executed, Noyes brought Probert to my house, and introduced him tome as his wife's brother. After being three months in business, I found the house did not answer my expectations ; the rent and taxes were so high, that I was unable to pay my way, and keep up my credit ; and besides, I had given a warrant of attorney to Richard l'homas, front whom I had taken the house, for nearly 800). to be paid by monthly instalments. These payments not being kept up, the warrant of attorney was put in force, and I was obliged to surrender to the Fleet Prison, where I was confined for seven moths, and then took the benefit of the Insolvent Act. IV hen I got my liberty, I went to reside at Paddington, near my mother's, and on the scanty assistance she could afford me, I was obliged to depend for my subsistence. About six months after this, I re.noved to Lambeth, and set up the business of a blacking. maker; and while there, I frequented a public-house near the Horse Guards, called the Suttling-house, kept bv one Mr. Childs, where I often met with William Probert and Thiimas Noyes. Pro bert always treated me with great kindness, and used to observe how happy he should be if I could again get into the public line, so that he could afford me some assistance. On the day that Thomas Thurtell's nisi took place against the Fire Office, I called by chance at the sign of the Mitre and Dove, the corner of King-street, {Westminster, kept by Win. Hall. whom I well 'knew ; while I was there, a gentleman who said his name was Leach, entered into conversation with me, and said that, although he was unknown to me, he had often been in my compa ny, and heard me sing a very excellent song. During our conver sation, a Mr. Ensor, whom I had seen at 111 r. Bent's, a publican at Stangate, one of wh ose daughters he was paying his addresses tn, came in, and said to Leach—. it is time for us to go into Court ;" and after asking me bow I was, he said they were subtxrniti on the trial of p friend of theirs , named Thurtell, who kept the sign of the Cock, In the Hi.onarkel,-antl If I Was not engaged, I might as well go into Court with them, and join their party at the dinner which was provided after the trial was over. I accepted the invitation; and, a verdict being given for Thurtell, all the 1 party, very much delighted, proceeded to the Cock, in the Hay ' market, to dine. While we were at dinner Mr. Probert entered the room, and taking a seat next to me, shook me by the hand, and espresso! his surprise at seeing me there, as well as the pleasure he should have in bearing . me sing. I stopped till I eleven o'clock, and then went away •itho.a taking leave of the I party. In shout a week after I met Probert accidentally at the west en:l of the town, and he introduced me to Tetsall's, where, by his, n.wo?st, I sang several songs ; and at parting, he invited me to meet him the next morning at the Cock, saying he could be of 1 service to me. I went accordingly, was introduced by Probert to John and Thomas Thurtell, and stopped to dine with them ; but nothing particular passed. As Probert omitted to explain in what way he could serve me, I went next day to the 1;ock, and was in -1 vited up stairs ny John Thurtell, where I found Probert ; and they wessed me to dine with them, which I did ; and afterwards Pro bert asked me to walk over the water with him, saying he wanted to speak to me on particular business. I agreed to go with him, and on our way, Probers said to me-,'• Hunt, I will tell you something in confidence, but I beg of you never to divulge it, as I am the only person Thurtell has made acquainted with what I am ahtatt to tell you." I promised secrecy ; and he then said •` l'oa know Thurtell has obtained a verdict against the County Fire Oilier, fur nearly 2.0001. and as that verdict will make his own and his brother's credit stand well, they intend to avail them_ selves of it, to ga whatever goneis they can with acceptances, then sell them, and put the money into their pockets, together with the mutter fram the Fire office. Thomas Thurtell will then become a bankrupt, and work his way through the commission as well as he can. Now if you will consent to take some of their acceptances, go with them to different trades-people, and purchase articles for the Thurtells, you shall be allowed to much in the pound for all the goods you can obtain." I told Probers that I would do what they desired, but that I did not much understand the business. From this:titno I became a tray frequent visitor at fhurtell's ; Prubert and Noyes were almost constantly there, and no charge was nia..!e for whatever I had to eat or drink. In about a fortnight d m p ro b er ' fi rs t multionee Tiurtell's affairs to me, be called me Some people remark " It nevtr rains but it pours," which may not inappropriately be applied to the late rise in the Funds, for ell? since Mr. Sivewright contracted for this Lottery la moiety of the Prises in which are Stock, the other Money), the price has rapidly and progressively risen upwards et nine per cent. , and many think Stock will, ere long, fetch more in the market than the same nominal sum of money ; but even at the present value there has accumulated about 10,0001., which will be gained by the holders of Tickets and Shares, in addition to the &wen 20,0001. &e.originaUy allotted fur the scheme.

The lunatic petition, in the matter of Lord Portsmouth, having been called on, Mr. HEALD was anxious, before that ease was argued, to say a j•few words with respect to a case which was of considerable import. once. The petition In the matter of the Elephant and ( astle Cha ,rity had remained in his lordship's paper for upwards of seven weeks, and it was probable, for anything he could see to the con teary. that it would stand there for as many more weeks before It was heard. The case came originally before the lic e -Chancellor, and the usual order was made to the Master to approve of a scheme. I The report was made, and the parties took exceptions to the report. The opposite party then applied to his Lordship by appeal but, notwithstanding, the Master proceeded to review his report, It op. peering that there was considerable delay in bringing the appeal before li:s Lordship. The 3faster had made his report, and the l'ice-Chantellor had been petitioned to confirm that report. His Honour bed, however, declined to confirm the report, as he wished I his Lordship to decide the case. The result was, that the whole pro. ccedings in this Charity *ere suspended, and that the poor persons who thrived their maintenance under it were compelled to go totally unprorided. Under these very pressing circumstances, he begged his Lordship. on behalf of these poor people, to hear the petition of appeal in this Charity, and not to allow any ease to precede excepting those row on the paper. Ile knew that his Lordships dole was levnted to the public, and that it was of little importance to him individually what causes were first disposed of; but he Cllr. Heald} was induced to petition his Lordship, on the part of the respondents, to hear the ease, which had been postponed day after day and week after week, to the utter ruin of the parties concerned. He hoped, therefore his Lordship would It= the petition with as moth speed as possible. The Lomb CdsxcEntona observed, that it was very hard inton him that he was maileAnswerable for the delays which had arisen. ILhe had explained once he had explained a hundred times, that itnirm Dot owing to trim that delay had arisen, for he had always been most anxious that cases which were ordered to stand on the paper should be postponed to these which had already been placed tittle. If there had been any deviation thorn this rile, it was no fault of his. He knew well, that by the custom of England, time att of MMd, the shoulders of the Chancellor of England were des tined to bear the evils complained of, and much more; and he would only say, that that Chancellor ought to be able to bear a great deal. Mr. HEALD was conscious of the truth of his Lordship's re mark. He hoped his Lordship would direct the Register in future to pay more attention to the book of causes, and to prevent causes being set down before those which had been preciously directed to be heart - _ . The Lnen CHANCELLOR—Let nothing come on bebre the El:phant and Castle Charity : Only recollect, 31r. Heald, when the Lleplumt and Castle Petition is called on, I shall send for you. Mr. H EALD—My Lord, I am never absent when a case is called on in which I am Counsel; but gentlemen suppose I ant Counsel in a case when 1 really have nothing to do with it.

LORD PORTSMOUTH'S CASE. IN RZ LOUD PORTSMOUTH. This was a petitiO;Whelialiefil;eComntittee of hard Ports mouth's estate, praying that the trustees under the deed of 1709, might be directed to pay the sum of 6,111.1 L, forming the arrears of maintenance due to the estate. By a deed of trust, dated In Nov. 1799, certain trustees were appointed to manage Lord Portsmouth's state for 07 years, and the trustees now appointed are Mr. N. Farms, Lord Grantley, and Mr. Hanson. It is to compel these trustees to pay the maintenance due to the lunatic that this petition was presented. .Ir. Sucinex, on the part of Lord Grantley, acceded to the prayer of the petition, upon condition that Mr. N. Fellows should pay over the balances in his hands to the banking.bouss of Mown. Drummond. Mr. HART opposed the petition, on the ground that there wife no assets in the hands of the trustees to pay the sum now demanded. IrI;LTIRD CHANCELLOR asked, supposing slr. N. Fel!owes was receiving solely, for his sole use, the whole of this mo, was this a petition upon which that question could be agitat e? If Lord Grantley thought himself injured, why did be not present a separate petition ? No question could L• 2 entertained, that Lord Portsmouth ou;:ht to be protected by all the trustees for the time being. If it were true that Mr. N. Failures, or Mr. Hanson, or Lord Grantley, were setting up an authority to act as the sole trus tee fot the time bring, and receiving and paying the money, let a petition be presented, and the fact proved, and it would soon be seen what the fate of it would be. Mr. HART, on the part of .Me. N. FeHawes, expressed his ear prise at the manner in ..vhich this case had been conducted. He' had hoped that the matters introduced by Mr. Sugden would have passed sub sikullo ; but, on the contrary, his Learned Friend, as the curator, or Committee of the Solicttor.Geseral, had thought fit to take up his quarrels, and to introduce all this irrelevant , matter. It had been said of the English nation, that when they saw two men fighting they must light too; but Mr. Sugden had ' , gone still further, and chose to tight when other men were most peaceably inclined. The plain answer of Mr. N. Fellowes to this petition was, that he had not the means of receiving any money, and that therefore he had nothing to pay. As to the question, whether Mr. N. Fellowea had or had not received the rents, it was immaterial and irrelevant, where no petition had been presented on the part of Lord Brantley. The matters which had been intro duced by blr. Sugden would make no impression upon his Lord ship's wind ; but the evil was, that they would navel out into some newspaper, probably accompanied with great inaccuracies, and it would be said, that the brother had inhumanly withheld the support due to Lord Portsmouth. It was therefore fit that he should here deny one or two statements; Ist, that Mr. N. Fel lowes had refused to make any payments to the Committee; and, 'ldly, state that he has sworn nothing upon the affidavit but what way most true and accurate. With respect to the maintenance of Lord Portsmouth, it was found that the scale which hail been adopted was more m:pensive than even his fortune would admit. Perhaps on some future occasion the Court would take that point into its actions consideration. With respect to the appointment of Mr. Ellis, it was well kne.wn, that at the et.d of the year that nomi:.atioo c:ased, and it was referred to the Master to appoint a new receiver. TiliS was a most simple minsaction, and he did not see on what ground Lord Brantley had thought fit to interfere in ' that arrangement. Mr. Newton Fellowes ass prepared to pay what was due with thy monies in his hands; but the answer to this petition was short and simple, that he had at present no assets. further consideration. Then, secondly, supposing this to come within the principle of the Marquis of Northampton's case, lie sub mitted that the defendants, in the manner of the publication, had not brought themselves within it. Here the le:ellen, article merely said, " Mr. Prince observed," so or no. Now this was not asu cient description of %Ir. Prince to enable the plaintiff to find out who he was, and seek redress ageinst him as the author of the slan der. The defendants should hale gone farther, and stated who Mr. Pt ince was; in order that, if they meant to justify themselves chi the ;sound that they had merely repeated what Mr. Prince had 'aids the plaintiff might be enabled to trace the source of the slan der to the original propagator. r..luatire BAY I.EY—The plea is nothing more than that what is sated in the libel is a true account of what was stated before the I Lord Mayor? 31r. It t 11.111ns replied in the affirmative, and The Cut at, therefore, directed him to take a rule to chew cause. LAW V. POINTER. This wan an action on the case for an injury done to ,a horse of the plaintiff by the cardamums and negligence of the defendant's servant. On not guilty pleaded, it 'mitered nt the trial before the Lord Chief Justice, at the London Sittings after last term, that the defendant, being owner of a •baroitche, had hired a pair of horses for the day of a livery-stable-keeper, and the carriage was driven by a coachman (provided by the liveryman), whom the de fendant was to pay ss. for the job. The accident happened near Rank-buildings, in the city, in consequence of the negligence of the coachman, whereby the plaintirs horse was s:riouidy injured. The question at the trial was, whether the action would lie against the defendant, as the temporary master of the coachman, who was provided at the defendant's expense by the liveryman, to drive hired horses? Ott the authority of two cases, cited from sth ' i:spir•.asse's Nisi Prissy Reports, the Lord Chief Justice ruled that the action was not rneintainable, and therefore directed a nonsuit. Mr. ABRAHAM now moved to set aside the nonsuit, and obtain a new trial, on the ground of misdirection. He cited two case* from Campbell's Reports, over-ruling those on which the nonsuit had proceeded. Ile submitted that the defendant was liable for the negligence of the coachman, though tl:e latter was hired only for a temporary purpose. The Coutur said, that the case must turn upon the question whether the coachman was to he considered Cie detendant's servant: they doubted whether be could be sa considered, but granted a rule to *hew cause. TILE CORPORATION OF HUNTINGDON. Mr. BROUGHAM applied fur a rule to shew cause why a manda mus should not Issue against the Corporation of Huntingdon, to compel them thelcct a new Mayor, in the ()Lux of the person row nommen,' filling that office, in rursmince of a bye-law of the Cor poration, framed in the year Ifi A. By that bye-law it was pro vided, that if any Alderman became a non-resident, for the space or six months, luz office became ipso _Acta void, and it was compe tent for the Corporation to nominate a successor. The affidavit on which be grounded his motion shell A that the.present Mayor was a non-resident, and had incurred an Infraction of the bye-law. It was necessary to make this application to correct the infringement of the bye-6w. In fact, in the same borough the office or Coro ner belonged to Captain Montague, a post-captain in the navy, and who was for a considerable time absent on his professional duties in America, during which absence the office was executed by two Aldermen, who bad no right whatever (legally speaking) to perform its functions. The COURT refused Mr. Ilrougbam's motion, on the ground that no previous application had been made to the Corporation, to require that to be done, whit+ the mandamus was intended to enforce. _ _ On the motion of the ATTORNEY Orwritar., Robert Hyde, who had suffered judgment to pass by default, for lighting a tire no the ‘ca coast, u a signal for a smuggling vessel, was brought ur tor judgment, and sentenced to two months' impruenment and I ard labour in the gaol at Dorchester. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, VVZSTMINeriII, SATVIIVAY, JAN. 31. (Sinker in Banco.] into a private room to Thomas Tlitartell, told him he had made me acquainted with what was intended, and tbat as he had known me for some time, Thurtell tired be under no apprehension of danger. T. Thurtell then raid—" Mr. Hunt, I will satisfy you for any goods you send here, and for which my bill is taken ; and if you can get my acceptance discounted, you shall have a share." Thia occurred about the beginning of September. and both of them said tint no time was then to be lost in getting whatever they mold, as he, Thartcll, would hare to go into the I inzeLte soon after the No vember term commenced. Another fortnight elapsed without any thing being done, and then l'robert arid :—" Hunt, your air purr-tic( is very shabby • I will get Thartell to give you his ac ceptance payable at ht bankers, in Pall Mall, where he keeps an account, and no tailor will refuse to take such a bill for a suit of clothes." Ile afterwards gave me a bill for 101. Ithi. and I tried It at several places, but amid not succeed, and I retutued it again to Thurtell. - By T. Thurtell's desire, I ordered some expensive articles at Dare and Slack's, in Ceckspor-street, which were sent according to the order. There was about this time to be a great dinner at the Cock; and about ten days before the dinner, John Thurtell went to Probert's cottage on a shooting party for a few days to shoot on the grounds of Major Woods; he returned the day before the dinner, and at the dinner he took the deputy chair. On the same day that J. Thurtell retuned from the cottage, he told me C.st he had become desperatmc in love with Miss (a aline Noym, thesister of Probert's wife; but that she had promised her hand to a man named Wood ; he said, however, that he did not care for that, he would continue his visits, and endeavour to supplant him ; and I understood from him that he frequently went to the cottage, until one Saturday when he was going down there, he met M r . Wood and Miss Noyes coming to town in company together. This very much vexed and mortified him, and he then commenced writing letters to her, which were either unnoticed or returned under cover; this only served to irritate him still more, and he inveighed most bitterly against NVood t Probert also joined in the abuse of Wood, and said—“ Von know, John, I hate the fellow, and there is r.o man of my acquaintance that I should like to have the girl but yourself." Thurtell said no man In this world should ever Marl between hint and his happiness, if he lost his own life in the muse; and that he should go to Norwich the then next week, and get his friend Harper to lend him his Mr-gun to settle some of the gentlemen who had ill-used him. He said there were three or four on the list, bat Wood stood first, because he was in the way of his happiness. I understood from Probert and John Thurtell that Hiss Noyes was entitled to some money on her marriage, and that if she married J. Thurtell he and Probert were to go into business together. J. Thurtell wert to Norwich at about the time the ie dictment was preferred against him and others for the conspiracy, and he was absent two days. I met him in Fleet-street the same night he returned, with the air-gun under his arm. John Thurtell had written a letter front Norwich, addressed to I. me at Mrs. Mountain's, wherein he informed me that he had got everything he wanted—that all was right—and desired me to meet him at nine o'clock on Saturday evening, at Temple-bar, at the corner of Shire. lane. I was a quarter or half an hour beyond my time, and found hint waiting; he showed me the air-gun and double-barrelled pistol : the latter, he said, would be of no use to him, as it would make too kind a report. It was a large-sized pistol, and has the name of 31 r. Harper upon it. We went to Mrs. Mountain's, and after taking something to drink, I left him. The next week he gave me the pistol, which I pawned at Cotterell's, in Shoe-lane, for Ss., and i t is now there, either in the name a Jones or Hunt. The ensuing week the plan of shooting Mr. Wood, in Castle street, was determined upon as follows :—Wood, Probert, and Noyes had lodgings in the same house together, at No. 15 or 38, Castle-street, Leicester-square, and it was agreed that, soate night when Noyes was down at Probert's cottage, Prober' was to go home early at night and keep the landlady and her daughter drink. ing below stairs after Wood was gone to bed, and when he was sup posed to be as'eep, John Thurtell, disguised in a boat-cloak, was to enter the house by means of Prohert's key of the strxt door, pro ceed to Wood's room, and shoot him through the heart with the air-gun. lie was then to place a small pistol that had been dis charged, in Wood's right hand, so that it might appear as if he had shot himself, and he was then quietly to leave the house and sleep in the city. Prohert was afterwards to have gore up stairs, and found Wood in this situation, and given the alarm, order land lady was to have found him dead the next morning. An inquest would of course be held on the body, and it was to be made appear, that in a fit of insanity or despondency. he had shot himself. Pro bert said he would attend before the inquest and swear that Wood was much embarrassni in his circumstances and depressed in his spirits, and that was the reason, he had no doubt, why he had de stroyed himself. John Thurtell asked a man, named Woolf, who keeps a sale shop, and who was in the habit of using his brother's house, the price of a boat cloak for the purpose, but I do not know whether he bought one or not. The reason why this plan was not carried into effect at once was, that the sir-gun was found to be out of repair, and it was sent to a gunsmith's in Sherrard-street to have a new valve. Thurtell told the gunmaker he had it for the purpose of killing deer ; the repairs came to a shilling or two LLD_ der a pound. The night Wood's murder was to have been perpetrated, he for tunately did not sleep at borne, and some accidental circumstances afterwards caused it to be put off, and the idea of shooting him in Castle-street altoge:her abandoned, although Probert was continu ally urging Thurtell to commit the murder, saying there could not be a better time to s.!-roe him, as the landlady had no other lodgers in the house. Probert often said, "If you mean to do it, why once? don't you do it at you know I can keep the women engaged." Thortell replied, " D—n your great eyes, if you want it done, why don't you do it yourself ? you are big enough and ugly enough, and there Is the air-gun at your service." On which Probert used to turn it off with a laugh, and say, " You know, Jack, I want you to have the woman, and should rot like Wood to get her." Th:: house in 31anchasta-buildings was taken for the express purpose of destroying Wood, and making it a warehouse for what. ever goods could be Obtained from tradesmen by fraudulent bills. J. Thurtell took it from a solicitor in Derner's-street, and gave a reference to Cousins, a linen-draper, at Kensington, to whom also a great quantity of Thintell's valuable property was sent. Thomas pawned one of the looking glares for 31 to pay for the agreement. went with J. Thurtell and Mr. Asseretis' clerk to see the house, and J. Thurtell told the dark he should not want the ll:tures, as when his family ca e from Norwich, he must have all new fixtures and furniture. When this house in Manchester-buildings wu taken possession of, I went with a waggon, hired from Da.. n, in Compton-street, to bring away a great many articles of fumiture ' and bedding, which had been obtained from different tradespeople, and deposited in a cottage which T. Thurtell had hired at Kens ington for the purpose of secreting them. Some of these things were afterwards seized, as I have bent given to understand, by the creditors, at a house in Cumberland-street. The next plan against Mr. Wood was, to entice hirn to the house in Manchester-buildings, and there destroy him. J. Thurtell borrowed a pair of dumb-hells, 61b. each, from a Mr. Hancock, and it was settled that I should by stratagem get him to accompany me to and enter the house, and when he was within side, I was to shut the door upon hint, and go to Charing-cross, where Thurtell was to meet me, after despatching him. And, in order to account for his absence, a letter was to be sent to his lodgings, to say that several writs were out against him. (To be continued.) POLICE. BOW-§TREET. Anotrcrrog.--A decently demised iemale, named Elizabeth White, applied on Friday evening, in great distress, to Sir R. Dime, stating that she had lived as cook in the house of a Mrs. Blias, • lodging.house.keeper, in Norfolk-street • that in the be ginning of the week her trimness had pressed he r to go to see her husband, who was at a distance in the country ; she accordingly west on Tuesday, and on her return on Friday bound her daughter, a tine girl, thirteen years of age, had disappeared. She had made diligent inquiry of Mrs. Bliss, and of the servants, but was unable to gain any intelligence of her child, further than that she had not been seen after seven or eight o'clock on Thursday evening, and the complainant stated thar she suspected Mrs. Bliss, and a Ilre. Mills who lived in the house, had conspired to give her up to a tienetal Officer who was occupying apartments of ' 1 Mrs. Bliss; and that by their urinal contrivance the child was taken away and secreted. Sir Richard immediately granted his I warrant, and on Friday evening Mills was brought before him, and ordered to find bail. Saturday Mrs. Bliss was examined before Mr. Minahull, when she solemnly protested her innocence, and produced her servants; and, after a very full and minute investiga tion by the worthy Alagintrate into all the circumstances, and • close examination of the servants, there appeared no ground to stall pect Mrs. Bliss of the abominable crime imputed to her. The rise, however, Is still involved in great mystery. as no damp bare been heard of the child ; and Ellis, an active officer, was directed by Mr. 51inshull to mske every possible inquiry, and, if possible, thud her, so that the !natter might be fully explained, and the guilt or innocence of the parties demonstrated. Ellis, one of the principal o ffi cers, and Blackman, were dia. patched instantly to make inquiry, and it was in a short tune as certained that the object of their search was in a house in Villiers. street, Strand. Blackman went to the house, where he found that his information was corrsc; •' but the girl, learning his arrival, re treated to a room, locked herself in, and was silent to all his de mands for admittance. Ile at length burnt open the door with his foot, and brought the unhappy child away, and in the evening she was exar-ined before Mr. She is extremely tall tor her age, has a fresh colour, beautiful eomplrcion, and reinavkably fine face. She sobbed aloud upon bring questioned, and it was with the utmost difficulty that a sin gle answer could be extracted from her. At length she admitted that she went away with a gentleman, but here she again stopped, and It was not until the question had been repeated more than fifty times, that she was prevailed upon to name him. She did, how ever, finally mention his name, and related other circumstances, which it would be extremely improper to state at present.— It is sufficient to say, that upon her information a warrant was issued for a very serious offence, and the officer desired to appre hend the person charged as soon as passible. The officer had been previously to the gentleman's lodgings, but he was not at home. Mrs. Bliss was Set at liberty, upon an undertaking to appear on a future day, and the girl was left to the care of her mother. IN RE 111 GREGORY PAGE TURNER.

The alleged libel purported to be a report or account of an application made to the Lord Mayor, by certain persons, on behalf of the children of some unhappy people, who, having emigrated from this awmtry, to the settlement of Poyaia, in South America, had there died of the diseases of the climate t which report or account it was averred conicieed libellous matter concerning the phonnfE. The defendons. atter not guilty, pleaded two sets of special pleas, one averring the truth of the frets stated in the supposed Wye', and the other, that the odd publication was a faithful, true, and just report or acaiunt of what took place before the Lord Mayor. Issue was joined on these pleas. At the trial before the Lord Chief Justice, at the last London Sinless, the Jury found for the plaintiff, on the pleas arriving the truth of the facts stated in the alleged libel, da mages Is.; and for the defendants, on those averring the correct ness of the report or statement of what took place on the applica tion to the Lord Mayor. Mr. R. V. Itteitalms now moved for a rule to shew cause, wile the verdict should not be eruered for the plaintiff, notwithstanding the finding of the Jury on the plea of justification as to the oco rectern of the surement of what took place before the Loyd Mayor ; and he made two points, first, that although in eares of verbal slander it would beit justification in an action against A for him to' plead that he had heard B use the slanderous words, yet the same rule would not apply where A, having heard the slanderous wont*. afterwards printed and published them; and second. that %impel'. big thin rile to apply to the present mse, the defendants had rot brought themselves within it. In the Marquis of Northampton's case, I I Coke's Reports, it was decided only that if a man says, Ali told me so and so," that would justify him in saying mat AII did say so and so ; but that case did not go the length of holding that he might afterwards print and publish, by way of libel, that which he had heard A B say. Without going into an examination of decided cues, the Learned Counsel submitted that it was no defence, in point of law, for the defendants to print and publish libellous matter which they had heard, even though report. ed with perfect steuracy. The oral repetition of mere verbal slan der was a very Mimed thing front printing and publishing the slander in the shape of a libel, and thereby giving it a wider eir. aviation, which was more likely to be prejudicial to the character of the party comp sluing, This at lean was a question deserting THE ARMY.
