Mr. Telly woe the breeher-in-law of a Mr. T. B. Snmeuerfeld. who had been in the coal rode, and banked at the Houle of the laniruffe. In the womb of June 1325, bite Stimmertield became enibeemace in his peeuitiaey affairs, and It wait rumoured that he bad left the country to avoid his creditor'. There were at that tame four bills of exchange; with his acceptance; In circulation, which became due on the Uri June 1825, and *etc made payable in die timid course, at the house of Fry and Chapman. Applica tion was made to Mr. Terry urn the subject, who undertook to plc the hills, and signed the tollowing agreement, addressed " To blase& Fry and Chapman. Please to pay the following totes of T. B. Suromertield, on my account, and I shall pay you after the July (batten.," are. pad. Dated. June 22. 1824." A mailman dons was written at the rapt of ibis agreement, stating the particu lars of the four bilis. In consequence of this undatakiog tee plaintiffs discharged.the bills ; and the defendant having since re. r, aced sat pay to them the amount, they bad been compelled to brii.g the present action. The hand-writing of the defendant to the agreauent was.then preyed ; and also that the bills of exchange bad been paid by the plaintiff. in the usual course of business. Mr. Sceletz ex, an behalf of the defendant, said he hoped tole able in give a rely satisfactory answer to the case which had been eonbliehed by hie Learned Friend. It was tr e that Mr. Summer. held bed suffered the bills of exchange in question to be returned thelioeouredt and it was likewise true that Sir. Terry bad given the undertaking, which list' been put in op the other side; but, seen he cattle to state under what circumstances that document was signet, be (Mr. Scarlett) felt satisfied the Jury would hold his event altogether discharged from any responsibility that 'taper was capable a( incurring. At the time the application wait trade to I.lr. Terry, respecting these bile, he had every reason to bel eve teat his relation, SI r. T. B.SummerfiehLwas a person of large pro. pert, possessed of at least 51101. a-year, and one. therefore, is every respect competent to honour the bills, which bail been returned for only tour hundred and odd rounds. Ho bad also very recently been in the company of Mr. Summerfield, and had, in the course of convention upon bounces, uetientood frotn that gentlemen that he wee about to leave town, for the West of England, for the pur wee of collecting money. . When, therefore, Air. Terry called on the pleintitii, at the reqeest of Mr. Fry. and was informed that etre eels were arrived at maturity, and would be returned dis.. eactourell If nut taken up by tire o'clock on that day; he very naiu ally felt anxious to protect the character of his brother.in.law from Medi consequences that might result, if his acceptances were aut. toted to be deshonoured, such a cireuffistance being datruetive of the credit of a mercantile man ; and he c onsequently offered to mete biota& re.Monsible to blesses. Fry and Chapman for the amount of the bills, if those gentlemen would pay them; and he secordingly. gave the undertaking upon* which the olainttelt this day founded their claim. But what would the Jury think, when they should be informed that at the very time this do. cement was so signed, and delivered into the hands of blears. Fry and Chapman, those gentlemen not only knew that - Mr. Summer- Lead had left the country in consequence of his pecuniary . ember respreets ; but that he had actually executed a deed of assignment conveying all his property over to los father. and thereby lied com mitted an act of bankrurtcyl Thole ante he (Sir. beeelett) ie,nuld 1 , 2 able to prove; anti he should also he able to morc„ that entree of the plamliffi, as it became them like fair-dealing men to de, communicating all these circemstances to the defendant, when lie proposed to sign the undertaking, they cautiously conceited the knowledge of thin from him. He should be, moreover, able to rim , : that the plaintiff; had at that very time money ice their hands , a-alit:lvo to discharge those bills, and which they were at liberty to apprapriate to that purpose ; for the father 0 young Summetfield, trammicted busineas with the plaintiffs, having received a letter feint his son, informing him that he (the son) had left the eminery, Sid had executed a deed of assignment of all Ids property to Ludt (the father), called upon Messrs: Fry and Chapman, on tee lamming of the 221 of .tune, and 'hewed them this letter, upon which • they informed him of the bills haying became due that day. Mr. Summerfield replied that he hail money at [ionic aufncient to cover them, and immediately went and brought Goat aid pieced it In the plaintiff.; hands, to apply to the discharge of the bills ; hut instead of doing this, they tidy - aid Mr.Sumnierfi,eld 'Pichler not to distress his non estate by paying the debts of his age. and they then placed this 6001. to the credit of the lather's pirate account. As the plainttlfs were In the knowledge of all these ei-eumetencee. relating to the imolvericv ant bankruptcy of young Bontmer6ld, it was their duty to have acquainted Sir.

The Learned Counsel tiler, called his ohm-secs. William Delmore stated he was clerk to the plaintiffs in June 1,/115. He b e lieved the undertaking to be in the hand-writing of tee defendant. He remembered the four bills In question being due on the 2241 of that month. He told Mr. If ry that he was gong to the defendant reelecting these bifls, and Mr. F. said he might ien if he pleased. went ; between - a q u arter and half past four in the afternoon, and requested the delendent to go to ;dram Fry and Chapman, Terry accompanied wirtees, was wAti Mr. tee about ten minates or a quarter of an hour. ititeas leas iA and out of the room during the whole time, but did not see any letter produred, or Erie anything said of a deed of *seism menet+, young Sumeterfield to his father.

Ott the 21d Juee, 1825. I went to Fry's with a letter that I Lad re. caved of my son. ItJore I lied received thetletter I was not aware that he had executed an sesignment to me of his property.

That letter was read by Messrs. Fry and Chapman in say preoened. I was then tarcermed by Wm. Fry that the four bills were corning due that day. said I thought I had at home cash and bulls enough to river me amotea. Fry then odd me to go and fetch them, and be back by face o'clock. I returned about ten minutes before four with cash mud bills to the amount of 6001. I went into the countingAnuse and Joseph Fry vied to me, " Benjamin, thee hadst better not impair the estate by paying these bills.' I said I had provided for then , and 1 should now leave it is them. I left the cash and bills, and they were carried to my account. I carried the letter to my soli citor that etening, who told me not to shew it to any ate. it was seen by Terry. who took a copy of it. Crews-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENT:RAEMy son's let ter I committed to the hands of Win. Fry. I did not expect during that day to make any arrangement of my son's affairs. I left the cash and bills to be placed to my private account, by the advice of Fry anti Chapman, who told ire I ought not to ineuni ber my estate with my eon's debts. Ile-examined by Air. SCARLETT—I understood my money would he placed to my account; I interred so from what was said by Fry and Chapman, that it was better to let it be kept for my own use, and let my eon's estate answer for itself. William Terry, a relation of the defendant's, stated that he vent with the defendant, about half-past five o'clock in the afternoon of the 2dl of June, to Mr. Summerfield, pen., where they saw young Mr. Summertield's letter to his father, of which the defendant took a opy c. Mr. Boyle, clerk to Alr. Summertield, proved that he received the deed of assignment from young Suninierlield, together with a letter reguesting lads to keep the deed till he (witness) received another letter that should desire hint to deliver it to Mr. Summer ! field the elder. _ _ This was the defendant's case. The ATTOR 1: Y-( it: VA t. replied, and contended that there was neither misrepresentation our concealment on the part of Messrs. -Fry and Chapman, of the facts which had come to their knowledge respecting the circumstances of young Summerfleld. • Mr. Fry told hint distinctly that young Stimmerlield had left the country ; but notwithstanding this, the defendant wrote and signed the docu ment upon which this action is founded. But Mr. ticarlett had interposed die observation, that the defendant wished to consult his attornee. and that Mr. Fry told him there would boson time to do so. This was the fact, for the Jury were aware that all bills presented at the clearing house in the morning were considered to be paid by the clerk who took them away , unle ss the y were re. tumed before five o'clock. It hat was the fact then here? It was within ten minute to five o'clock when Mr. Terry expressed his wish to see his Attorney, and Mr. Fry very properly observed, that if he delayed in osier to see his attorney, their object would be defeated, anti the consequence was the defendant wrote the agreement as hail been described. What would have been the situation of Frand Chapman if Mr. Terry ha d gone to consult his attorney ? Why, they would have made every one of the bills their own. What was it to them whether the bills were returned nr not ? They intended to return the bills, and it was in consequence of Mr. Terry's executing this instrument that they consented to withhold them. They had no ,interest in doing so, and he thought that when the Jury came tosdeliberate upon. the evidence, they would be of opinion that no ans wer had been given to the plaintiff's ease. The Loan CHITS JUSTICE observed that the question was, whether Mr. Terry was led to sign this per either by the *Mate meson:at ;on of sr., matters to him by Messrs. Fry and Chapman, or by the concealing of any fact in their knowledge which It was important to his interest that lie should have known, and wlm-h it he had known would have induced him not to sign that instrument. As to the misrepresentation of any fact, it appeared to him that the evidence did not war rant the conclusion that there was any such ; but as to con cealing matters which might and ought to have been disclosed, there was evidence which, in his judgment, became fit for the con sideration of the Jury. The bills in question all became due on the 22t1 June, and were presented in the course of the morning by the clerk of Fry and Chapman, at the clearing house, and they had the power to return them at five o'clock. It was due to those gentlemen to observe, that they did not appear to have had any personal interest in all that they had done with respect to these bills. It appeared to him to have been perfectly indiffermit to them whether they paid the bills or returned them. Therefore not being able to see any personal interest that they had, he was somewhat at a loot to account for their subsequent pro ceeding*. The acceptances of young Summerliteld became payable en the twenty-second of June, and in the course of that morning Mr. Summertield the elder went to Fry and Chapman, and carried a letter he had received from his son ; and gated it to them and they read it. It was a distinct communication that he (young tiummerfield), had left London, meaning to leave the country ; and moreover, that he had executed a deed to his father, for the purpose of conveying all his effects to him. There were some eipressions in the letter whith were not very intel. ligible. Whether the rattle!' and son lied any joint interest in the business did not appear, but there were expressions that seemed to spew thin the interest of the father was deeply concerned in the in terest of the ann. The passages of for both the interests," and " the general interest," and tt• your cmicema," which occur in the letter, had not been exPained. Anether any effect. could be rea sonably attributed to these expressions he did not limn*. After the conversatioo had taken place between Fry and Chapman and Sum merfield, item, Mr. Terry called on them, and Mr. Fry distinctly sold him that young Surnmerfichl had left the country, but he did not communicate to him the contents of the letter which the father received, nor that young Sutemerlield had conveyed his property to his father ; neither did Mr. Fry tell him that the father.had left cash to cover the bills, end that he (Fry) had advised him not to apply ft to that use. The Jury were to judge whether the Importance of there two facts were such as to lead them to the conclusion that, it' they had been communicated to Mr. Terry, he would not have signed the agreement. The Jury consulted together for a few miantes, and returned a verdict fur the defendant. REWSTON V. PROCTOR. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a Dissenting Preacher, residing at Eghain, for compensation in damages for the injury his character has sustained iu consequence of a - fAlse and malicious libel published of and concerning him by the defendant. -The damages were laid at SOW. Th.: defendant pleaded the gene ral issue, and also a jisstitication, averring - that thertUeged libel was true. _ . Air. Bitumens onened the pleadings. - • Mr. SCAREETT stated the case to the Jury, bet from the man. ner in which the trial terminated. we do not feel justified in-giving the whole of the ebaervatiotis and statements made by the Learned Cowrie'. It appeared from the Learned Gentleman's opening that the plaintiff had formerly been the gusto of * charity school at Is lington, and that he used to preach to the congregation of Inde pendent Calvinists at the Union Chapel there. The detendent was a gentleman of the name religious persuasion, but a person whom the plaintiff had reason to believe was his determined enemy. By the zeal and ability displayed by the plaintiff he had been appointed Secretary to the Home Missionary Society; but the appointment not being agreeable to the feelings of the defendant he bad caused an opposition to be raised against it, and certain charges were made injurious to the character of the plaintiff. Those accusatims were met and inquired into, and the result was an honourable acquittal, and the confirmation of the appointment. It was, however, one thing (Mid tile. Scaled) to be acquitted, and another to retain your situation. Such was the continual :marks made upon the cha racter of the plaintiff that his credit was destroyed, and he was com pelled to resign the situations he held, mid was finAly obliged to take the benefit of the Insolvent Debtora' Act. Hearing of a situation in the town of Egham, he applied tier and obtained it. There he established a school, had 24 scholar', and a respectable lodger, who. paid him at the rate of '.:431. a year. At that fine a project was act on foot foe building a chapel there, at which the plaintiff was to be the preacher, and the sanction of his Ma jesty's Treasury was obtained for the purchase of a plot of ground on which the chapel was to be erected. Whilst this arrangement was in operation, a gentleman, whom he ehoeld call as a a tines, received an anouynious letter, wkich lie ihould be able to prove was in the handwriting of the defendant. It was in the fullowing tarns:— " Sept. 15, 182 t - _ Si n—l understand you arecountensnring a person, with whom 1 expect you am nut sufficiently acquainted ; and 1 recommend you to inquire as to his aluiracter at Islington. where bt was master of a chati, school and pwaehed et the Union Chapel, arid where be 'swell known. consider an unsuitable person for a preacher. I have nu ill sill agaimt him, but feeling tor the cause, I consider lihn an improper person. Tours in the best of bonds, ••• A Fantail X TUE 60SPLL Or CHRIST. . " TO Mr. Oodfrey, St. Anne's hill, Egham." I have read (said the Learned Counsel) that Gospel, and do not find that any man is directed to write, or commended or excused foe writing, an enonymetis letter that shall destroy the character, and nun the family of another. I know many maxims to the contrary. If thin pretended friend fit the Gospel had consulted that sacred book of wltich he speaks, he would have found maxims of charity—candour—kindness—gond-will—benevolence; but I will tidy hint, or even any enemy of the Gospel (for he as- BMOCS to be its friend;, to find one single precept that justi fies anonymous slander. I make this remark with the more earnestness in this cause, beernise I will offer it to you as a fair outline cf whet the defendant's case will be, upon his plea of justification. The man who is capable of writing an anony ntnas slander to attack the character of another, is also capable of working up a deftnee which has no proof or foundation. The Learned Counsel to tinned to comment, with much severity, upon the conduct of the anonymous slanderer, who, he said, was respon sible for all the consequences that might follow the communication of the slander by the m non to whom it was first addressed. In the present case the consequences had been most ruinous; for no swam was this letter, and others of a similar kind, received, than the plaintifi"s school was broken up, the project of erecting a chapel abandoned, and hit !loose vacated by his lodger. After making some remarks on the nature of the justification which had been pleaded by the defendant, and on the evidence to be offered, the Learnt-41 Counsel concluded by leaving to the Jury, as men of honwir .nil integrity, and true friwnils of the Gospel, to say what damages were due to the plaintiff for the injury he had sustained. Mr. John Godfrey—l live at St. Ann's 11111 near Egham. I know Mr. Francis Newston, who lived in our neighbourhood in September 11144. • Ile carded on his business as a schoolmaster and a teacher of the (Impel.

The pro posal for building the chapel wax likewise abandoned, and the plaintiff's school was destroyed.

In the course of three weeks or a month afterwards the plaintiff had not above three or four scholars. Ile has a wife and three children. Ile had a very serious fit of illness after this occurrence, and was quite deranged, so that on one Sab bath evening I was obliged to send my two sons home with him, as he was unfit to be left by himself. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE said he had turned the subject in his mind respecting the license, and felt it to be important. Mr. is not at all necessary to produce the cense. The Loan CHIEF Justus—The allegation Is, that lie was a preacher of a congregation of Dissenting Protestants, and the ques lion is, whether, in a Court of Law, I can take notice of a person as a licensed preacher unless he produces his license Mr. SeARLET T—lle IS subject to penalties if lie preaches with out a license. :dr.

The plaintiff was accordingly called and n.onsuited. MIDDLESEX ADJOURNED SESSION& •r -gm' THE MINT AND THE MIDDLESEX JURY. On the arraignment, yesterday, of John Divine, foe uttering counterfeit coin, the f &owing discussion took place. Mr. Powell. the Solicitor tbv the Mint, has always paid fees to the amount of 175., the sum demanded by the Clerk of the Court; but how that was distributed, or "to whom inuividually paid. he never inquired. The sum was demanded, and, as a matter of course, plaid for years past. The fee to the Jury on every trial is now Is., formerly it wee NJ. On convictions by public Boards the Is. each to the Jury is paid by the Solicitor, and in the cues of acquittal is paid out of the county rate.. Last triday week the Mint had convictions in seven indictments for passing bad morey, and at the end of the trials offered 17e. for the Court tees on each trial; that is to say, Its. for the 12 Jury men, and bs. for minor purposes, all that they had been in the habit of paying. This was oliyeted to by Mr. Allen, the Deputy Clerk of the Peace, ard successor of 31r. Stirling, as omitting his fee of Ile., and which, it Mr. Powell did not pay, lie should deduct out of the Pau amount, and leave theJuty to their remedy for their right. Mr. POWELL said lie had never paid any more than 17s. to Mr. Stirling, aid always understood that suns to include the tee to the Jury. Mr. ALLEN said it was nn argument to him that Mr. Stirling lforeeent his ice : it was the rigid of him (.11r.Allen), and lie should demand it. Mr. PowELL urged never having paid more, and that if he paid more than was customary, as a public servant, he was liable to be called to account, or pay it out of his own pocket, as paying it in his own wrong. Mr. POWELL accordingly paid on the seven convictions 17s. esaly anti Mr. Allen refused theAury their seven shillings each. •Yestutlay, betore the trial of-Divine was proceeded with, the Foreman a the Jury begged to know of the Chairman (Mr. Conat) why it was they were to be left without their fees. The 31int was the only public board that had hesitated to pay them, and he wished to know upon. what grounded:he retinial was made. Mr. PowErt.4.-He had a Treasury order not to pay more than the proper and customary tees. She fees now demanded had never been paid or demanded. The Cssaiustart-1 do not know on what grounds the fees are withheld, nor can I say as to the propriety of the demand. Mr. %V itsoN. -The fees to the Jury always have been paid. Air. PowELL—Not in any specific form. We have always paid what has hitherto been demanded, andalways supposed the Jury to have been paid out of the demand. FottEMAS—We should be glad to know if. the Government is too poor to afford the fees. There never has been made a stand by any other public body, and it mems strange that a Treasury order shciuld set aside our rights, and rob us of our fees. hlr. Pow E LL—We have always paid the tees that have been demanded ; but we know nothing of the appropriation. Mr. FlELD—Whatever the Clerk of the Peace demands we will PAY. Mr. Atte:lc—lf you pay me, you do not pay the Jury. You only pay seventeen shillings. You do not pay more. Mr. Powett —We have always paid what has been 'demanded. The fees now asked have not been demanded in any previous case. We want to know how these additional demands are to be pre. vented. The CHAT 11 31 aN—l canna r seven t tie demand. If the fees see demanded iniptoperly, the Liege does it on his own responsi bility. The FOREMAN—I think the best way of getting cut of the dif ficulty will be for the Mint Jo pay the tees at once ! Mr. POWEI.I.—I beg it to be understood ;Is not in the intention of the Mint to withhold fees properly demanded. Mr. HARRY—Better not waste the time of the Court now. No doubt it will be satisfactorily settled by next Sessions. Here the discussion ended as it began. Before the rising of the Court, Mr. Powell and Mr. Field went up to the Jury, and ex plained to them that the fee might be an entitled demand by Mr. Allen. They had not paid it to the predecessors of Mr. Allen, nor had it been demanded. They resist-it the eight shillings as a sum not fairly demanded. It they paid it, and paid it wrong, their only remedy was by an action against the Clerk of the Peace. They considered law ought to be obtained as cheaply as possible, and nut burdened with unnecesory fees. Let the tees stand over for a while, and they would see what could be done. The trial of Divine was proceeded in. Mr. HARRY was Counsel fur the Mint. —This trial was put olf till yesterday, on account of the confinement of Mrs. Waldron, who, when the prisoner was arraigned on Friday week, had only been a week delivered, and I could not attend. Yesterday the %inlets attended, and the case 1 1 was completed. Win. CI talenor Washington is a general dealer residing in Golden. lane. lie has known die prisoner at the bar for twelve months ; has had frequent dealings with him, and taken bad money of him. His neighbourhood swarms with such characters, and lie had de termined to put a stop to their practices. On Sunday the 14th of May the prisoner Wile into his shop for a pennyworth of tobacco end tendered a counterfeit shilling; witness saw it was bad, but took it, and gave him a sixpence, live penny pieces and the tobacco. Wit peas marked the shilling, and wrapsed it in a piece of paper, and dated it. The prim -reef's brother had passed a bail sixpence with him, which lie also preserved.. On the f intraday or Friday follow ing, the prisoner came again with a bad sixpence; this lie took, marked it, and put it behind ajar, cautioning his wife not to med dle with it. When the prisoner passed the sixpence, witness cau. tioned him of passing base coin, and said to him. " Now you've done it ; you've done it too often." On the 20th of the same month the prisoner came again for a pennyworth of tobacco, and offered a bad shilling; this was at half-past nine at night. Witness took the shilling and put it on a shelf behind him, and said to the prisoner, " Now, Johnny, I'll fix thee." There was a little girl in the shop. to whom he gave twopence to fetch the constable. IVhen detained, the prisoner threatened to come round the counter and " serve out" the witness. Witness advised the prisoner to go away before the constable came, because lie saw twenty of his tom paniona standing in the street, who shouted " At it, Jack ; at it !" Mrs. Waldron came into the shop, to whom he shewed the shilling ; she said ft was the same prisoner bad offered to her a short time before. When the constable came, witness gave the prisoner into custody ; the shilling he gave to Edwards, the headborough, and the shilling and sixpences to Tweedie, the constable. Jane Waldron recollects the prisoner coming to her shop on the 28th of May ; lie wanted some long radishes, which site not hay tug, he took a bunch of turnip radishes, and offered her a bad shilling ; site refused it, and be went away without his errand. It is the same shilling he passed at Mr. Washington's. Edwards and Tweedie confirmed the evidence of the last wit ims "a. Mr. Field, Inspector for the Mint, examined the money; they were all counterfeit, and struck from different dies. The Jury found the prieonot Guilty, and I ' The Chairman sentenced lihn to six months' hard labour in the House of Correction, and, at the ex p i ration of the term, to give se- Study for his geed behaviour ler all mats tenger. James Iluyes was indicted for a wanton and unprovoked assault au Alichael Footman on the 20th of May. Mr. Pa E unEnoitST was Counsel for the prosecution. He said his client was an Irishman, and the defendant, he understoon, was from the same country. They had all heard of the feuds etill kept up by the people of two factious counties of that country. It was a feature of fraternity in the inhabitants of the sister kingdom. If a neig!!bour or lodger of the same bowie got offended, for all his *lends and partisans to espouse his cause, right or wrong, and fall on the offender, and beet him. Such was the carte of his unfortu nate client. There hail been a naional quarrel among his country. men of tiatfrombill, but the prosecutor had no more to do with it than one of the Jury. Knowing the hostile feeling of the party, having seen their conduct, he endeavoured to pass through them unnoticed. The prisoner he knew to he one of them, and, avoided him • but had not gone far before a hand from behind struck hint in the mouth, laid hint prostrate on the earth, and knocked out four of his teeth. He should call witness to the assault, and let them prove the case. If an example was not made of the pri• Boner and a stop put to such proceedings, the whole town would be in amts. _ • . . . . . ..... Michael Footman, of York -street, Saffron-hill, knows the pri soner, he lives on Saffron-hill. Theie had been no words or blows before the day laid in the indictment. Re stopped half a minute to look at a row, and was walking away, when a hand came behind hint and struck him in the mouth ; he fell down stunned, and had four of Ilia teeth broken.

Ann ltiller,a young woman " in a certain way."wag sentenced to mix weeks' imprisonment, for an assault on Mary Barlow, of Lisson grove. The prisoner said she had but five weeks of her time to go! Bridget CONaor was put to the bar for an assault on Marian Allen, a parochial midwife of the parish of St. Giles. The prosecution was instituted by the pariah authorities, and the case was conducted by Mr. Dimity. Alaty Allenlives is Great St. Andrew-etseet, Seven Dials • she is midwife to the Charily supported by the parish board; has:been so since the year 1017, atultrequently eutaided the prisoner. Ott the 20th of May she passed through Bainbridge-street into Geoege-street, ,then she met the prisoner, who insisted on her going to the assistance of some acquaintance. Witness told her site could not go without an ortlet teem the Board, on which the prieoner caught her by the shoulders, and told her, that instead of minding, her business, she had been to bed with Jem Stack. Witnv suild -to -1)..a.,• Go about your business, Biddy, you Are tipsy:"` Went on to Clirricr-street to see a patient ! on her return the prisoner had collected a mob, who followed after hcr, shout ing, " Mother Alien ! mother Alien i" The prisoner met Mr. Stack, and abused him for keeping the witness all night As the mob seemed so desperate, the witness went into the Robin Hood public-house fur security ; the landlOrd told her to give the pri soner in charge. Pond, the beadle, came to the spot, and she told him to take her into custody, which he dill% but, cn her pro mise not to disturb the witness again, be let ber go. Witness in the meantime had got home, and PIS changing her dress, to ap pear before the Committee to Kite a daily account of her patients, when she was called down by her lendloly to answer a loud knock ing at the door. She was not bound to attend a patient without an order front the Board. The prisoner created such a disturbance that she complained to the Committee, who had the prisoner ap prehended. The prisoner was asked if she had any question to put to the wit nets? She replied no. James Stack was called by Mr. Battey and asked if he slept with Mrs. Allen on the night between thel'Jth and 20th of May. He said he did not. The question occasioned a loud laugh through out the Court. Mary Ann Hurd, Mrs. Allen's landlady, confirmed the testi mony of the first witness as to the mob. George Pond, the beadle, is stationed at the Seven Dials ; in go ing his rounds, he heard the prisoner call Mrs. Allen an infernal w—, anti said she had slept with Stack. John Kendie, another beadle. apprehended the pri.sonev in her lodging; she had hid hefeelf under a bed, with a woman and child on it. He pulled her from under it. Her language was very bad. The prisoner, who held a child in her ands, doled that Mrs. Allen bad been midwife to her. There was a poor creature in la bour that ,the parish would not relieve, because it was a chance child and if the prosecutrix would have come to her assistance, she would have let the woman have her bed. If a place had not been procured ter her directly. she would have been delivered in the street. Site never struck the proseeuttix. The CHAIR NIAN said,. the assault was not proved. None of the witnesses saw her assaulted, and at most it was but a push on the shoulders. As to the law in these matters, it must not be taken into the account with people of the description and neighbourhood from whence the prisoner conies. He should ]Cave the case to the Jury, who would do it that justice it merited. The prisor.er was immediately acquitted. POLICE. if ATTON-OARDEN. SurctnE PaywnrTrn.LVes te;;laymorning, Read, sen.. chief peace.otheer of this establishment, was applied to for assistance, in consequence of a man named Jo m;•1 Jones having gone into the house of Mr. Comyn, No. 13, Back-hill, as it was supposed with the intention of murdering a woman with whom he had formerly cohabited, but who had latterly den tied him, and taken up with another man. When Read arrived, he found Jones in the woman's room, with a poker in his hand, breaking the furniture and win doss, the object of his revenge having effected her escape. After an arduous struggle, Read succeeded in disarming him ; andite then affected to regret what he had done, but ,retuned to accompany Read to the police office. Jones being a very powerful man, a mes senger was sent for another officer, which he no sooner learned than he snatched up a large case knife, and inflicted a deep wound in Ilia throat, sweating he would rather die than be taken into custody ; he was just in the net of plunging the weapon again into his throat, when the landlord of the house rushed into the room, and suddenly seizing his arm, averted the stroke, and he was at length secured. Ile was soon afterwards attended by a surgeon, but he would not guar the dressings to he applied to the orifice, until the woman, by whom he was driven to this desperate act, consented to return to him, and abandon her present paramour, to which she solemnly agreed— Jones, however, is said to be in a very precarious situation. latmeztyr flaTittato.—ln consequence of repeated complaints having been made of persons bathing in the Brand Junction Canal, particularly near the Small-pox hospital, Battle-bridge, the Magis trates of this office have given orders to their own officers and to the ravish constables in their division, to apprehend all persons found hashing therein at any hour after six o'clock in the morning.— Several have been apprehended and fitted, but the practice still con tinues, and we regret to say that during the last week three fine lads were drowned at the same place. Owing to the dry weather, the hay this year is very light, and as poor a produce as we have had for several years past, Pasture grounds are also very barren and bunted up, so that cattle may be consider^d very sparingly supplied. Wheat is in car, and appears very forward ; some of it is in blossom. With regard to the wheat etop there is no cause to boast, as in some places it is partly foxy, and appears very stinted, and from the present com plexion the wheat does not promise a good average crop, although a very early one. Beer and barley has in some places been already repeated, and seems a tolerably good crop. Oats seem quite short, and in ear, so that the reapers must prostrate themselves in a very humble attitude to secure this valuable crop. Flax in general pro mises Imliflerently. New potatoes are in some places tieing dug, but we have no great cause to boast of their quantity or quality. Oats, grass, and flax, seem to be the three worst descriptions of vegetation. If this dry weather continues much longer, it may be feared that other crops will share the same fate. Present appear ances afford but a bad prospect of an abundant crop.— Waterford Paper.
