LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, IVUSTMINSTErt, I•Arunualr, FESIU/ARY 6. THE KING v. THE PARISH OF SAINT MART, CA NTEAUVRY. This *HS a question respecting the Pet dement of pauper, tinder the following novel circumstances ; The 1).1131/rr, a hoy, had been ho mi d a pprentice to a niaster-mariner, resmirlit tit St. Mary, Canter bury, awl continued wilt 111111 sumo. months ; hut ircumstmoros larevented the master Imin get'org ins vessel In set, the master, at the end of that It asked Ins appreisiice whether lie wool I like to be turtwil over to another master, or whether lie would go to school for a time and learn trows.tation. The boy chose the latter, sod was ac cordingly sent to a school in Cann rbury by l i is master, where he continneri some time, when he fall away, end returned to Shadwell, to which palish he bad originally belonged. Uric he tifterwords be same chargeable to the parish, and was loaned fo St. Mary, Cuiterbury„ on the grounds that he had obtained a settlement in that parish I)) his servirr of a year. Against this decision of the Magistrates Ilia. parish now appealed. The Court, after bear ing Ili, argument, decided that no settlement had lt.ro pilled in St. Mary's ; to constitute tin! settlement. there must not only be a binding, a Theplog, and support, hut .1 here must also br !a lma% lo the present nave, the itioster bad not had the latter. The boy was bound to him to lesrii practical ilawigation, but lie had out done an ; be vas sent to school, where lie was taught theoretical navigation only ; and there lie went by his outs choice, and not tit consequence of any control ex errised over him by his master. This was not stud, shuttling and ....Twice as would settle the pauper, who still belonged to his original parish ; and the order of Sessions, settllng liiin on St. Mary, Canter bnry, was ordered to be -quashed. TUB ZING r. ♦NOq. The Defendant in this (Nave was the keeper of the ?louse of Correction for theenniity of Lancaster, sod was indioiril soil found guilty of refusiol to deliver sip a pri,naer, named 1)1111 Scruturn, who had been committed to his custody oil a charge of felony, to be truth lit thr Borough Sessions fur the fitrruegli of Liverpool, is Inch Selo.. Ware held in the month of July ; and persisted in keeping him in custody till the General Quarter Sessions for the comity, winch did not take pliier till August, when the Pri soner ass tried and discharged. A r the trial of the Defendant before :.Jr. Justice Bayley, N point of Is in his favour was reserved fur the opinion of tha Court. Mr. CLARKS now addressed the Court in sup port of the conviction. lie was ready to allow that there were two Houses of Correction in Liverpool, one for tine borough, and the other for the county ; That for the county was supported by a charge on the county rate, to which the borough paid ti pm portion. The Prisoner in question was committed by the borough Nbagistrotes to the county prison : this, Mr. Clarke contended, was legal, inasmuch us the b gh paid towards the support of that prison. In their warrant of commitment, they stated that Scruturn was committed to take his trial at the ensuing Borough Sessions, and the Pro ateutor awl his witne-ses were bound over to give evidence at the Borough Sessions. Yet, when the Sra.. arrived, the Defesidasit refused to give up the Poisoner, on the grouted that he, having been once committed to the prison of the county, was no longer within the jurisdiction of the borough Magistrates, awl this was the point reserved. Mr. Clark suhmitted, that the Magi:4We. of the Ito rough had not given up their jurisdiction by cow 'Mittel; to the County Dome of Correction, in support of which they paid a portion, and they having stated in their warrant of commitment that the Prisoner was committed to take his trial at the Borough Semiotic Mr. WILLIAM, on the part of the Defendant, contended, that the Defendant was justified, and itideed hound, by several Acts of Parliament, which he cited, to act us he had done; by which Acts he was constituted a county officer, subject to the con trout of the county Alagistrates only, and bound to give them, at their several General Sessions for the county, a list of the Prisoners who had been in his custody since the preceding Quarter Sessions, and to produce them, tinder the penalties of fine and im prisonment. lie was an officer appoisited by the county Magistrates, paid by them, and liable to be dismissed by them, and by them alone, indepetw dent of the Borough Magistrates ; and therefore, after the Prisoner was mice committed to the County House of Correction, the Borough Misgirtrutes had no further jurisdiction over him. The Court, after hearing the arguments, observed, the case was ono of considerable importance, and they wonid, therefore, postpone their judgment, and take nine to look over the case. TIIF. ZING V. FRANCIS DAMON. The Defendant had. beets convicted of illegally taking fish in a private fisLery, the proper►y of the Ifoimii,able Lady Fame, namely, in a part of the river Aron, which runs through litr Ladyship's manor. Mr. CHITTY now applied to have the conviction of the 111.igistratts gnashed, on the grounds that by law no one could lodge au information, or re cover penalties under thin statute, except the owiii-r of the fishery. In the presentlbtssice the infor mation was prosecuted by Sir H. Farm, and there was sio proof whatever before the Magistrates that the information was on-fel-1.11 at the desire of Lady E llie , or lino liad not g as leave to the Wen s, dant to G=li in lies fishery. Mr. CAsHERD contended, in support of the con. victino, that it was stated on the face of the con viction, that Sir H. Fane appeared at the instance and MI behalf of Lady Fain., sod that this was sufficient, without the fact being sworn to, that it was at the desire of Lady Fane. That enema stance might he supplied by iiitentiment. The CovaT, however, held, that au a case of information the Court would supply nothing by in tentineut ; all must be established by proof; the words of the Magistrate used in the conviction were lint proof. Here was no proof that this information was preferrrl at the desire of Lady Vane. That fact ought either to be have been embodied in the information, or proved in evidence; the want of that proof in the present case WAS fatal, mid the conviction most thetefoit be quashed. 1•d LICE. mAtcsion.nous% Saturday a respectable jeweller and lapidary was 9111111111011• NI 1,0 answer the complaint 014 gentleman, named Harper, under these circumstances:- 31r.

He soon after saw it 111 alas 1N.G1,111,11% aindow, where it was ticketed fifty trainees. The lapidary persisted in refusing to info, tit him of *how he haul obtained it, but asserted, that lie had got it Lunourably. Ater much alter cation he at len.th offered it to Mr. II for 31. a proposal which the latter resisted. On living brought before Mr. Aldermen Smith, who sat for the Lunt Mayor, he still re filled to psv any explanation as to the way in which the pebble lied got into his poseessitm, end said he w3i deter mined to keep it. The Defendant's slinponan, however, slated, that it had been bought of a pi rsou who offered It for sale fur eighlernopeure. The Magistrate expressed his surprise el the extraordinary value pot upon the article, *hen its pi Ice was at unce raised from is 6d. to fifty guineas. The Defelidant said, that this was all matter of little, end, in fact, that the value of nu, stones was merely ideal, some defining if pebble to be worth 20/. while another pally isnuld not give 2,1 fur the seine article, The chief cleik suggested that, as the Defendant was so little disposed Io accummodatton, it would be 4:toile tau fa I for the Magistrate to grant a search warrant against him, the Complement, of coarse, swearing to the rubbery of his pocket-book and of the stone. After considerable diseussion this course was adopted, and officers were dispatched to Execute the a art ant CEII.IIIIIAI.L. COMMENCEMENT ON MR. COBREITS P L AN FOR ANNIHILATING PAPER CURRENCY. It was Annealed, a short timesiuee, in one of the Political Registers, as the musts 'refloat means of stony ing the credit of frank notes, and of wholly hilating paper currency, that methods might be contrived by which the poorer classes of society should suddenly lie put in possession of any given quantity of forted notes. without danger to the circulators of them, by conveying them in !ems., o► pine. mg them so as to be (towel by the poor, whose wants would immediately bring them into CirElli411"11 ; shin the emiti. awed detectiou of the forge' ies would moire every Sank note an object of suspicion, and compel a return to cash payments. From the circumstances which transpis vd at this "dice on Saturday, it should seem that the system is alsessly in action. s Theopftifor Brotrn, a labouring man, who acts his living by WIWI is leo sued following the markets, attending at Co vent.gaeden, Smithfield, mid Neogate markets, early in the morning, for the purpose of carrying home goods, &c. was brought before the sitting Slagisti ate, Mr. Alderman Ansley, on Saturday, in custody of Yoiiall, the officer, on the citing, of uttering forged notes. By the evidence produced it appeared that the Prisoner went to the• shop of Mr. Blackest, clothes salesman, Nu. 31, IVest Smithfield, between right and nine o'clock on Saturday r•urunig, and purchased what, from the state of Isis apparel, he second to be in great want of, viz. a jacket, a frock, an apron, and a red rap, for which he agreed to give 10i. 641. and tetukred a U. note in payment; 5, Loccuck, Mr. Blackett's sliopman, suspected the note to be a forgery, and Kent it up stairs by the shop-hoy to a Mr. Stevens, ass inmate in the house, to ask his opinion of it. Stevens came down into the shop with the note, told the Prisoner it was a bad now, and asked him if he could change it foe another; the Prisoner replied, 0 yes ! lie had gut some more, and pro duced three others, detarilig Stevens to take his choice. Ste vens took them in his baud, and pronounced them to he all forged. He then inquired of the Pi miner whoa- hr got them ; at the moment lie replied he had them of his mode ; but im mediately •flerwards acknowledged that Ise found them. Sityrui then lift him in the care of Litectiek, and went out far an unite r. Prisoner expressed no emeriti , osion, but re mained quietly be the shop till the aro Issi 01 . Worrell. In the interim, Luccork asked his tootle and address, which he gave readily as Theophilus Brown, arol said he had me re gular lodgitia, but last slept in I/tory-lame. When Stephens veto. ned with Worrell, the lallir smelled the Prisoner, and found upon him silver, and Sit. in copper ; also • new pair of worsted-stockings, and two new cotton printed ►andkerchiefs, fur ■ll of which the Prisoner thus accounted to hint:—He said he was coming thimigh liner-street from Lung-acre to Covent-garden, un his way to the market, for the purpose of looking for a job, at about six o'clock that morning, when lie observed a small parcel, wrapiwd up in a bit I.f rag, lying on a ledge where they put shutters, near to the two houses of ill-fame in that street; lie took hold of it, and on opening it foimil it contained six If. rioter; • strange man was passing id the time, to whom he said be had found a prize; the itranger replied be had a right to half of it. Primmer aoswerid lie should not stand that; but if he knew any house °lwo where they could get liquor, lie would not mind treating him with a glass; the stranger said, that Wingfield's, No. 45, Strand, would be open, and lie wroth' get change there; they accordingly pro s, riled together to Wingfield's, where be got a note changed, and they had each a glass of brassily. He then parted from the stranger, and pursued his way towaids Smithfield, and stopped at the shop of Mr. Miley, hosier, No. 159, Fleet street, where lie changed another note to pay for the al ti cks found in his possession, and the silver and copper were the change lie bad received out of the notes MI parsed. At the slesiie of Worrall, the Pi isoner most willingly accom panied him to Mr. Ottley's mid Mr. Wingfield'', where he found his story confirmed ; Mr. Wingfield adding, that he knew the person of the itemizer who bad been wilt. the Pri soner, by having frequently drank at ills Ina.se. They thence proceeded to Rose street, where the prisoner pointed out the precise spot where be found the sautts, which tallied exactly with the previous description he had given. The no ten were then produced, and were at follows —Ni,.: 71,522, 72,051, 25,712, 71,252, for 1/. each, and were all dated 10th December, 1b18; two of them were signed Bishop, one Leete, and one Gardner. Mr. Freeman, ass Inspector, who attended with the Batik Solicitor, declared the whole four motes to be forged in every respect. Vilna called on for his defence, tlw Prisoner said, with great coolness, and every appearance of Mims:. sc•, that th e officer had told them very truly every thing that had hap. petted ; lie found the notes that morning ; he could read and write, and therefore knew what they were, and thought he ►ad gut a great prize, haying no suspicion that they were forged, and was willing to answer any questions, anal gave every information ill Ins power. The general feeling, both of the Magistrate and of every one in the juvtier-room, was evidently in favour of the ' - cence of the Prisoner, who conducted himself throughout with great propriety, without exhibiting the lunatic:l symp tom of alarm or apprehension; but a. :11r. Ottley and M r . Wingfield were not in attendance, our the looks changed with them produced, and as it was also neressary to make inquiry respecting the general chancier of the Prisoner, the worthy Alderman, with the consent of all parties, remanded bim fora further bearing on Tuesday next (to-morrow ) The public are requested to suspend their judg ment in the case of a stolen watch, heard at Bow strett on Thursday, and reported in this Paper on Friday. Mr. SIIEPHARD, the party against whom the charge was made, is a very respectable, well conducted young man, of irreproac:iable character. He attended at the Bow-street Office, with his friends, on Saturday, to attest, upon oath, a paper, of which the following is a copy ; but the Magis trate before whom the urigival charge was preferred net being present, the presiding Magistrate, from motives of delicacy, declined to interfere: — AFFIDAVIT.

At the late Quarter Sessions for the County of Rutland, a stay proper example was afforded of proceeitiogs to punish the infamous disregard of public decency, the sale (H 4 it is celled) of a wife. A short tune ago, we noticed a disgia.ctful transfer of this sort which had occurred in the parish of Clipshaw ; at the Sessions at Oak nn indict ment for the misdemeanor was preferred, at the instance of the Niiiiister of the pari-li, against Mr. Hicsisitp HACK, the purchaser, and the Grand Jury found it a true hill. The trial was traversed by the Defendant till next Sessions. Though, in this in stance, the purchaser is selected fur prosecution, it is only, we believe, because he is the more opu lent nnui, and therefore the titter person to make an example of ; the seller, with every other person' concerned in the disgraceful proceeding, is equally liable to prosecut for the breach of public de corom.—(Stainford 31eitury.) An Inque►t was held at Ancaster on Tuesday last, on the body of 31sror Woons, aged about nineteen, the daughter of • respectable farmer of tint place. tier death was attended by the follow ing singular circumstance. takes, very ill on Thursday the slat ult. the apothecary of the village was called in, who told her he suspected that she had taken poi.on ; this she denied, though urged to the confession by ilie consideration that her life could not othentise he saved—fur there was reason to think that she had not intended to destroy herself. However, a very short time before her death, which was on Sunday, she acknowledged her pregnancy, and that she had taken some arsenic out of a packet able!) her father kept for mixing with his seed corn. This the father asserted on the livotrt could not he, as he had tio arsenic in the house, having always thrown away whatever quan tity w:is not used. Notwithstanding the dying declaration of this unfortunate girl there is reason to fear, from the inconsistent and contradictory evi dence given on the foriurat by a married relative, who it was roved had bought some arsenic the dry berme ills! deceased was taken ill, • • • • • • • • • The verdict of the Jury, after six hours patient investigation, was " Frio de se."
