Sittings. niter last Trrin, Wife the Loa°lcr JUSTICZ and Common Arks. HORNER V. TAYLOR. This was an action for words, laipeaclung the plaintiff's skill In the trade of a painter and glazier. The Plaintiff's cue was conductsd by Mr. 6CARLETT and Mr. E. Lawcs ; and the defendant's by Mr. Custwoon and Mr. Dzotron•ll. The case was this :—The plaintiff was stated to be an ornamental painter and glazier, carrying on business In the neighbourhood of Clare-market. Ile had been employed by the parish to paint the interior of Sr. Dunstan's Church in the West, which he did, to the satisfaction of his employers. The defendant was one of the pa rishioners of St. Margaret's, IVestrninster, and was chosen one of the Committee for superinte nding repairs intended to be done to the church of that parish. Mr. Pester, a carpenter, having been antiloyetj to do the carpenter's work in St. Dunatan's church, made a tender for similar work in St. Margaret's, which however was I lint accepted. At his suggestion the plaintiff also made a tender to do the painter's wort, and as a specimen of his skill, referred the Committee to what was done by him in St. Dunstan's. The de claration alleged that the defendant, intending to injure the plain. tiff in the way of his trade, and prevent his ling employed to paint Sr. Margaret's church, spoke of and concerning his work in SL Dunstan's church, the words following :—" The painting in St. Dunstan's church is not fit for a common tap-room, and as hspe to end my days in this parish (St, Margaret's), I should be ashamed to have the painter's work done by such a painter as Horner. Such a man as Honer shall not came into St. Margaret's church, nor anywhere else, when I can help it. The painter's work in St. Dunstan's is vile in the extreme, and not fit for a tap room kitchen." A Member of the Repairs Committee for St. Margaret's church proved. that be heard the defendant say the painting of St. Dun stan's church was such as would disgrace a common tap-house ; it 'Kitcas vile in the extreme, and would disgrace a common tap-house hen ; that he wished to live and die in St. Margaret's parish ; and that such a painter as Mr. Horner should newer enter the church of that parish, or anywhere else, if he could help it. The Repairs Committee consisted of fourteen persons, including the defehdant. Mr. Hopkins, Vestry Clerk of Dunstan's, proved, that on a Sunday evening, after church, le June fast, the defendant called upon him, and told hint that he had seen Mr. Hornet's work in the church, and that it would disgrace the commonest public-house. Several painters and glaziers, anti other witnesses, were called to hrove the plaintiff's competency as a painter, and they deposed that aving seen his work in St. Dunstan's church, they were of opinion that it was done in a skilful manner. Mr. CURWOOD addressed the Jury, and contended, that in the absence of malice, the words imputed to the defendant were not actionable. It appeared that the defendant, having been re ferred to for his opinion as to the merits of the plantirs work in St. Dunstan's church, had fairly and honestly given his judg ment upon the attbject. Supposing him to be mistaken in the matter, that was no ground of action. The Jury must be satisfied that the defendant spoke the words maliciously ; of this there was not a tittle of proolitand therefore the verdict must be for the defendant. The Lunn Cnirr JVSTICE told the Jury they must be satis fied, first, that the words declared upon were proved—and second, that they were spoken maliciously. It was rather remarkable, that the only witness who substantially proved the words was one of the fourteen members composing the Repairs Committos, although they wire stated to have been uttered in the presence and hearing of the whole Committee. With respect to the other ques tion, if the Jury were of opinion that the defendant had fairly a nd honestly expressed his judgment upon a subject on which a di, er. sity of opinion wss not uncommon, the plaintiff' would rot be en titled to recover. The Jurysieliberated for about ten minutes, and found their verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 801. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, SAT utDAY, MAY 21. THE COUNTESS Mr. Sergeant VAI'OH•N stated that this was an action of Hea ps'', which the plaintiff had found it absolutely necessary to bring against the defendant, in order to protect herself from a repetition of his annoying and vexatious conduct. The Jury need hardly be told that her Ladyship Todd have been extremely willing to avoid coming into Court on this or any other subject, could it have been • matter of choice merely, but it was not; and the present action was not the result of any peevishness or petulance on her part, but of the necessity she was under to commence it, in order to protect herself in the peaceable and undisturbed enjoymrr.t of her pro perty at Cranford. The defendant had formerly been &butcher. carrying on business at Brentford, but was now living upon the fruits of his industry, near Cranford, where the plaintiff resided. At that place was • twat of the Berkeley family ; the mansion was surrounded by • large park, in which were preserves of game of every kind, extremely well stocked, and of course on that account subject to frequent intrusion. On the 234.1 of February last, the defendant, accompanied by two men, rode through the gate of the park, down the road leading to the house, crossed the bridge, and turned into - • lane, called liffogicenneldane ; when there he called loudly foe Mr. Moreton Berkeley, one of the sensor' the plaintiff', and began to complain of the loss of one of his dogs. Mr. Berke. i ley told him he knew nothing of the dog, and at the same time observed, that he had been warned not to trespass on those grounds again, and served hint with a notice to the sante effect, from a Mr. Crowther, who held some land belonging to the plaintiff, and im mediately adjoining Cranford Park. I'o all this defendant replied, be should go where he pleased, and having said so he passed over the bridge, and observing the Countess of Berkeley, accompanied by Lady Emily, her daughter, and a Reverend Gentleman, named Hughes, he rode up to them, and repeated what he had formerly said about his having lost his dog. Her Ladyship said, if it was so she was sorry for it, but she knew nothing of the dog, and she wished the defendant to retire. This, however, he did not choose to do. but went over a great part of the grounds, conducting him self in a very unbecoming manner, beating the covers and drag ging the canal for his dog, which he most improperly chose to assume had been killed and thrown into the canal. For this tees. pass the action was brought; the plaintiff did not desire vindictive damages, but only such as would secure her from a repetition of this annoying and insulting conduct on the part of the defendant. George Butler—l am the servant of the Hon. Grantley Berkeley. I have lived in the family four years. I know Cranford Park, the Church-yard Cover, and the Canal ; they are in the parish of Cras ford, and belong to the plaintiff. 1 know the defendant ; he lives on his property. at a house about two miles from Cranford Park. 1 was in the Park on the 2311 of February; it was about two o'clock in the day ; I saw him on the principal bridge; there were two persons, Hopwood and Carter, with him; he called to me, and asked me if I knew where any one of the Berkeleys were ? Lady Berkeley coming up at that time, said, " He is here, just in the Church-yard Cover ; I will call hint." Defendant followed ire down the Kennel-lane, and passed through a gate, then lie called out Berkeley, and Mr. Moreton Berkeley came up. I went into the kennel, but was soon afterwards called back by Mr. Moreton Berkeley. I saw hint give the defendant a notice from Mr. Crowther. 31r. Moreton Berkeley also said to the defendant," Do you know where you are ? you are trespassing, and if you don't go out, I will lock the gate." I afterwards saw them with Lady Berkeley ; her Ladyship left them and went away. Mr. M. Berke ley told me to come along, for the defendant v.as going to drag the canal. Defendant said he would search anywhere in defiance of anybody. We all walked on to the plank bridge, and defendant told one of the men with him to go on the bridge, which some men in the plaintiff's service prevented. Defendant ordered his men to throw a drag into the canal; they did so. Carter attempted to go through the water ; I stopped hint by 3loreton's orders. Cross-examined—This was in the high road to the church. I war too far away at the time to hear what her Ladyship said to the defendant. Re-examined—The Dog kennel-lane is not the road to the church, nor is the plank-bridge. The Honourable Moreton F. Berkeley—l resided at Cranford at the time in question. 1 saw the defendant, whom I had before served with a notice not to trespass there. On the day of this trespass, I wax in the Church-yard Cover, when some one called out, " Berkeley, Berkehty," not in a very civil but • rough way. I came out and we the defendant, who was on horseback, and was accompanied by two men ; he said he wanted his dog ; I answered that I knew nothing about his dog, and I then told him that be was to sparing in coming there ; he said lie would go where he pleased. 1 told Butler, one of our servants, to go and lock the gate of ths place we were in, and let the defendant get his horse out how he could. The defendant then quitted that place, and went towards the high bridge ; one of the men with hint car ried a sack ; when the defendant got to the bridge, he saw the Countess, who was coming on the bridge from the side of the canal, accompanied by Lady Emily and the Rev. Mr. Hughes ; he touched his hat to her Ladyship, and spoke to her, soil told her that he had lost his dog. She said such things would happen, if persons came on grounds trespassing. She wanted to get him over the bridge, away from where he was ; he said some of our family had sneaked and cringed to hint, and he mentioned particularly my brother Grande,' Berkeley. I said that was not true. I requested Lady Berkeley to go away with filr. Hughes. After she had done so, the defesdebt and his map passed towards the covers : they then tried roan over the amid at the plank bridge, but 1 ordered the men usippeemat them. They then threw a drag into the canal : at last Ils• dale OHM AND Se HES, and if it hail caught me, would have thrown me inm the water. I took my knife out of my pocket and cut the string. Carter, one of the defendant's men, attempted to pass through the river. The wild fowl breed in the banks. This was about the time they were breeding. 'ruloubtedly their nests roue have been disturbed. I haul no knowledge of the de fendant's dog being shot. I did not order it to be shot. I did nut know of it. Cross-examined—l was not told by any servant of my mother's, ar of our's, that the dog had been shot. I had no reasott to be. :hermit had been shot by any one. I heard the defendant say his dog had been shot ; my mother did not say, " Moreton,—for shame, Moreton ! I hope you have not shot Newman's dog." Must Paljaaltad her to ge stway4l did not hear her say, " No, Moreton, do you go away." 1 did not hear her say to the de fendant, " I would accompany you, but you see they will not let me." The defendant might have asked her to go round with him while he searched for his dog, but she did not make that 'newer. I had a gun in my band when I came out of the cover. I managed the covers. The Rev. Ale. Hughes-1 was walking with Lady Berkeley on day In question. The defendant rode up to her, and told her rialoplosarter persom INN grounds trespassing. was not 'my polite, and Lady Berkeley was much agitated ; so much so that she sat down on a boat and had an hysterical fit of crying ; if she had not, I think she would have fainted. Mr. 31oreton desired me to take her away ; she was extremely agitated ; I never WSW a young man cohtinct himself more properly than Mr. Moreton Berkeley; I do not think that in the same situation I should have been so calm and mild as he was ; Lady Berkeley re tired to the house, and the defendant afterwards &flawed her thither. C'roas-examineil—The defendant said be came to search for his dog ; he did net ask permission to do so. E. Davie confirmed the testimony as to the defendant's trying to pass the plank bridge by force. Mr. Sergeant Tinny, for the defendant, said he should prove that one of the plaintiff's servants had shot the defendant's dog; that Mr. Moreton Berkeley knew of it. and that the dug had after. wards beeu thrown into the canal. This came to the defendant's ' knowledge, and he went, as under such circumstances he had a right to do, to search for his dog. The ChM)" JUSTICE said he should have pleaded a special justification if he meant to snake such a defence, though even then it would not avail him. However, without such a plea, the evi dence now proposed to be offered was inadmissible. Mr. Sergeant l'sons , thought not, but if it was, lie should then offer it in another manner", namely, to show that the defendant had not been guilty of committing a wilful trespass, but had gone on ' the grounus of the plaintiff to seek for what belonged to him. William Carter—l was out with the defendant on the 21st of February; we bad two grerlioands and a beagle with us; they started a hare, and pursued it towards Mr. Matthew Newman's grounds; immediately afterwards I heard a gun gn off: we called off the dogs, and two of them, the black greyhound and the beagle, came back ; the other, which was a spotted greyhound bitch, we never saw again. Henry Wheeler, a little boy ten years of age, was then put into the box. ' The Curry JUSTICE questioned him di to the nature of an oath, sod the awful consequences of its violation ; when, the boy's answers having satiatied his Lordship, he was examined as I follows :- 1 I was in a field of corn on the 21st February, keeping °lithe birds. I saw a black dog and a spotted one Tanning through the field, after a hare. I saw Biggs, the gamekeeper; Le lists at Lady Berkeley's; he shot the dog. and I saw him catch it up, and throe. it into the river. 51r. Moreton Berkeley was with him at the tittle, and held his gun. f3lr. M. Berkeley was here desired to place him self among the people standing near the witness, which he did, and was immediately recognised and pointed out by witness. A doubt at first arose whether the boy had not been apisted in this by his tither; and one of the Jurymen said he saw the father point to Mr. Berkeley at the moment; but there was also great reason to believe that the boy did not see the father do this, as he did not turn rmind in the witness-box until the instant afterwards.l Biggs took hold of the dog's tail, and threw him into the river. There were two men in the field, and one of them was Mr. Moreton Berkeley. I know him very well ; I have seen him often ; I saw him a day or two afterwards. Cross-examined—l live with my father; hen in the service of 1 'flr. Matthew Newman. I was in Quentin field when I saw the dogs; that was within the park paling'. Hasid Newman was with the dogs, on horseback, in the lane. I do not know whether he was within the paling.; he seemed to be in the road. Mr. Berkeley waswith Biggs when the gun was fired. Mr. Matthew Newman and Mr. M. Berkeley had had differences between each other. This witness delivered his testimony is a very clear and unem barrassed manner, notwithstanding the severe cross-examination by Mr. Sergeant Vaughan. Wm. Carter was recalled—l saw the defendant on the day when the trespass was said to have been comtnited, to go up to Lady Berkeley, and heart! him speak to her about the loss of his dog, and ask her permission to go and search for it; she told him he might go where lie pleased ; he told her he had lost a valuable greyhound, an] she said he might search if he thought it was on her premises. Mr. Moreton Berkeley told her to go away. She said, " No, Moreton ; for shame. I hope you have not shot the dog." \When the defndant asked her toga round with him, while he searched, she said, " 31y dear Sir. I would go with you, but you see they will not let me." Newman never said he would stop as long as he pleased, and go where he pleased. I heard nothing of the notice not to trespass. Cross-examinetl-1 will swear to the expression, " My dear Sir, I would go with you, but you see they will not let me ;" and to the others made use of by Lady Berkeley. Jeremiah Hopwood—Heard the conversation with Lady Berke ley; she asked the name of the defendant, and she told him lie might go where he pleased, and she would go with him if they would let her. She was taken away by Mr. Dughes, at the desire of 31r. M. Berkeley. When the defendant told her of the loss of his dog, she said she was sorry any thing of the kind should have happened. Cross-examined—She was not agitated at all ; she was not flurried till she was going away ; when she was going away, she had her handkerchief up to her eyes, as if she was crying. Car. ter was not near enough at the time to hear about the notice not to trespass. Mpg*, the gamekeeper, was called in reply, to contradict the boy Wbeeler, and to support the testimony of the Hon. Moreton Berkeley.—He said, Mr. Moreton Berkeley was not with me when 1 shot the dog ; I never saw or knew of any one holding the gun when Newman's dog was shot. Cross-exaniined—l did not shoot the dog, or bitch, or see it I shot ; I should not know it to be Newman's bitch, unless 1 saw hii i with it; I did not shoot any greyhound bitch in Quentin-field; I never shot any bitch that was in Quentin-field when I was out of it; I never threw any dog or bitch into the canal on the 21st of February, nor was I present when any was thrown in ; I did not see any dug or bitch running after a hare through the field that day. Mr. Sergerint Tinny replied on this evidence, and contrasted the manner in which u was given with the manner in which the boy Wheeler had given his, contending, that on the comparison Biggs was not to be credited. Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN, in reply to the case generally, insisted that no credit was to be attached to Carter and Hopwood, opposed as they were by Mr. M. Berkeley and the Rev. Mr. Hughes. The Jury must decide which of these four persons were perjured in the accounts they had given of the defendant's conversation with the Countess of Berkeley. If the defendant's witnesses were to be believed, the Countess of Berkeley had given the defendant permis sion to search anywhere, which was contradicted by the fact, that for having made that search, she now brought the defendant before S Jury, in an action for damages. As to the boy Wheeler, he might have been mistaken in the persons of thole who shot the dog ; and the Jury must hesitate before they could put the testimony of so young a child, who might not have been able to see those persons very clearly, against the oath of Mr. Moreton Berkeley, who could not have been mistaken, and who was sup. ported in the most positive manner by the evidence of the game keeper. 31v. Berkeley had been called, not because his testimony was actually wanted to support the plaintiff's case, but because the !defendant should not have the opportunity of saying that any thing I had been kept back ; and the Jury could not imagine that any gentleman would thus unnecessarily expose himself to the loss of character and to the punishment attendant upon the crime of perjury. Such a supposition was too monstrous to be credited, and yet it must be credited if the Jury should find their verdict for the ' defendant on the ground that he had committed the trespass in order to recover the body of the dog wilfully and wantonly shot by Mr. Berkeley's orders, or in his presence, and with his sanction. The Cat IF r JUsTIcE told the Jury, that independently of the question of perjury on the one side or the other, the plaintiff must haves verdict, as there was no justification on the record. The only question therefore for them was the amount of damages, by which that verdict was to be accompanied. If the Jury believed the plaintiff's witnesses, this was a case of aggravated trespass, and the damages ought to be such as would effectually prevent • repetition of such conduct on the part of the defendant in future. If, on the other hand, they gave credit to the evidence on the part of the defendant, the damages ought only to be nominal. In the first else they should be proportioned. not merely to the actual injury done to the plaintiff's property, but to the insult offered to herself. In the test, they should only be such as must accompany a verdict given in pursuance of the letter of the law. The case was in their hands. The Jury consulted for about three minutes, and then returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 201. IILEr SESSIONS, SATURDAY, MAY 21. B(fu►e Baron H ut.tocx and Mr. Jusike PARK. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. James Greemeell and Jeremiah Sullivan were capitally indicted for assaulting James Worsdale, on the King's highway, putting him in fear, and soiling from his person a watch and other pro. perty. The prosecutor is a Custom-house watchman, and on the night of the Sth of April, being in a state of intoxication, he was going through a psasage in Shadwell, a n d was knocked down by too men, and robbed of his watch, A:c. A Jew was called, who swore that the prisoners were the men who committed the robbery; but on cross-examination, he said he gave no alarm, though he saw the prosecutor knocked down ; he was too busy selling his oranges to cry " Stop thieves." The COMMON SERGEANT said the evidence was too 10010 to warrant a conviction foe a capital offsnet.—Nor Guilty. SUMMONING JURIES. OLD B. Mr. Blakeley, a Gentleman upon the Jury, addressed Mr. Justice Park and Mr. Baron Bullock. on their takingtheir seats, upon what he and his brother Jurors were of opinion wes an abuse of power, as connected with the administration of justice. Mr. Justice Pwax.—llefore 1 can listen to the Gentleman, I must know if his complaint relates to the present Court. Juror.—My Lord, the observations which I beg leave most re spectfully to submit to the Court, relate to she mode of summon ing Juries, by the officers of this Court ; add myself and brother Jurors conceive that we have just ground of complaint. We do not complain of being called upon to render our assistance in the administration of justice ; but we complain of the partiality exist ing somewhere, tw roust plainly appear to your Lordship, when I state, that many Gentlemen who are summoned never attend, and by some Indirect means avoid taking a part in that public duty which has devolved upotsrmyself and brother Jurors. We r:pre. sented to some of the Gentlemen who have not attended our sur prise at their absence, and they tainted us with a reply, " that they were men of experience, anti were not going to ware their time at the Old Bailey, 'when they could avoid it." Ile replied, that there must be something wrong, or they would be subject to the animad. version of the Court for not attending; and the answer he received was. " You are not in the secret." Alr. Justice PARL said, that it certainly was but just aced fair Mat Erse vglegrorigSrfi-Atii"-AOlll-s`fiftfigii,,,, an mo thrown upon the shoulders Dia few ; and the Under Sheriffs, who were present would rake care to inquire into the evil, and adop t such means an would ettectuany remedy it. The Jury said, that was all they required. 31 UR Dle R.

As soon as the prisoner was aware of the accident. he drove o ff ; but was min and taken into custody. The deceased wee tak en to an hospuets, spice), and lingered till the followin g Th urs d ay. The Jury founts the prisoner guilty of Mansensgewee, Thomas Herring, aged 24 years. was capitally indicted. for stealing in the dwelling-house of Abraham Samuda, of Spite:. square, Norton litigate, • silver tea-pot, 18 silver table mom and other articles of plate, his property. On the morning of Ewe% 31onday, the property in question was deposited in a basket, an a dresser an a front kitchen of the prosecutor's house. to which th en was access from the street through a gate. Two of the prementoe e s fcntale servants, who were in the back kitchen, heard a noise in the front kitchen, and on going to see the cause, the prisoner was found near the door of the front kitchen, going away. th:e of the ser vants called to him and asked him what he wanted there; he took a lemon out of his pocket, and replied, that he wished to know if she wanted any lemons ? She told him that he had entered the kitchen some time before, and she had told him never to come there again. Ile had a large carpenter's basket over his shoukler, suf. fiejentli capacious to contain the basket of plate. fit less than two minutes after the prisoner had left the kitchen, the basket of plate was missed. Vann, the officer, received a description oldie prisoner from the prosecutor's servants, and he apprehended him three weeks arise. wards in Westminster dressed like a gentleman. The prisoner was a farrier by trade; Vann had known him for above two yearn- The prosecutor's servants saw the prisoner amongst a number of other persons, and pointed him out. Verdict—Gl.l/t , Death. NEW COURT. John Stewart, alias Captain Stewart, a young man of respect. able appearance, was indicted for committing a robbery in the pit in Govenr.Garden Theatre. The prisoner was placed at the bar to take his trial on Thursday last, when lie took advantage Ma detect in the indictment, and he was then acquitted. Ile was, however, ordered to be detained, and a fresh bill of indictment was preferred. Thomas Oliver, the prosecutor, went on the night of the 10th of April to the pit of Covent-Garden Theatre, ascompanitsl by two females. Ile was surrounded by several wellelreeeed young men, and he believed the prisoner to be one of them, but he was tin. conscious of the robbery being committed. Macdonald, the constable, saw the prisoner with his companions rush into the pit with the crowd, and draw the pin from the prose. tutor's breast; when he saw he was watehei, he threw the pin away, and several young men came up, said the prisoner was a gentleman, end desired the officer to lej him go, and they would be answerable for his appearance. elaedonald, in giving his evidence, said the prisoner ran up against the prosecutor, and must delibe rately drew the pin ftorn the prosecutor's breast ; and although per sons were at the time around, and in the dress circle, no one made any alarm on discovering the robbery. elacdonvid went on to state, that the young men to question knocked trim down, and beat hint so dreadfully that he oar unable to move for some days afterwards. At this time also a number of persons observed the outrage, but no one rendered any assistance. The prisoner denied the robbery. The COMMON SERGEANT left the Jury to decide upon the Evi dence, and they returned a verdict of—Gaiey. After the verdict had been pronounced, the prisoner said :—" u y Lord, and Gentlemen of the Jury, I have been tried in this Court, and honourably acquitted, and I consider my life is sacrificed." COMMON SERGEANT.—There was a defect in the focuser indict ment, and you have been very properly convicted. _ _ _ BIGAMY.

MummenY.—After the committal of this unfortunate individual, to take his trial at North Shields, for robbing Mr. and Mts. Hill, of that place, lie was conveyed to Coldbath fields prison, to await his removal. On reaching the gaol to which he had been committed, the remorse for his peat offences, as well as the dreadful idea of being sent to the County of Durham, amongst many of his friends, for trial, had such an effect on his mind that during she whole of the evening after hit examination he appeared dreadfully depraved and dejected, and on his being placed in the interior of the prison he took to his bed, where he still remains in very dangerous state. On Saturday the Magistrates received a certificate from Mr. Webb, the house-doctor, stating that the prisoner was in a high fever, which he had no doubt w as brought on by the anxiety of his mind; and stating that it was very uncertain when he would be in a fit state of health to be removed to Durham. The delinquencies of this unhappy man appear not to have been confined to North Shields, for since the publicity of his case in the daily pa several persons who have been robbei, and others swi by him, attended here on Saturday to obtain the permis sion of the Magistrates to see him, and to prefer their charges against him. Amongst the persons applying were Mr. Cam bell, proprietor of the King's Head Tavern, Tower.hill, and Mr. Hand, a gentleman residing at No. 62, St. Mary Axe. The former stated, that in the month of October last a person, who lie had no doubt was the prisoner, came to his house and represented himself to be a Dr. Jones; that he lived there, and bo.rded with the famile far a week, and on the morning that he (Mr. Campbell) intended fur fishing him with his bill he disappeared, leaving him in debt 11. Os. Applicant further stated, that a few days after he had ab sconded, a constable from Hull arrived in search of him, to appre hend him on a charge of having rubbed the person with whom he lodged of 401. Mr. Hand stated that in June last a person representing himself to be a clergyman of the Church of England, and that his name was 'Mummery, came to his house in St. Mary Axe tolodge, and of course in this character the most implicit confidence was placed in him. but, however, it was abused, as he only remained there front the Friday till Monday, when he abruptly left, taking with him all the moveable articles of value that war in the room, amongst which were a folio edition of Fox's Book of Martyrs with plates, bound superbly in calf, and several other works. On the evening after his departure, he received a letter from the fugitive, in which he expressed his convictioo that the family would feel surprised at the room being plundered, but on his return from the East Indies, to where he was about to sail, he would make them a compensation to double the amount of what he had poem:seed himself of. Sir DANIEL WI hat•its said, that though the books might have been so taken, yet he did not think that the taking could be brought home to the accused. His Lordship then gave directions to Miller, the officer (who has all the property found on the pri • loner, amongst which are a quantity of books), to look over the property and see if Mr. Hand's Book of Martyrs was amongst it. and Mr. Hand was directed to all on a future day, and to bring the letter of admission alluded to with him. . In consequence of the indisposition of the prisoner, the lecie trates for the present have refused granting any orders to see him.
