Yesterday a meeting of persons, interested in the property of public-houses, was held st the Freemasons Tavern, in pursuance of advertisement, fee the purpose of considering the measures now Whim Parliament, for legalising the sale of beer by retail, by per sons not licensed by Magistrates. At three o'clock there being no mace than twenty persona assembled, Mr. WILLIAMS (of the firm of Williams and Goiltlardoeho had signed the requisition for the meeting, as the solicitors to the As.soei.itioi of Licensed Victual lwerelproposed that an adjournment should take place until Friday . . . person here asked, at whose instance the meeting had been cue:wetted ? . . Mr. WILLIAMS replied, at the instance of several publicans who were nut then in attendance, as they bad imagined, probably, that the meeting would have been so numerous as to render their prowler unnecessory. ktr. fititi.r remarked, that he attributed the thinness of the 'staging to a very different cause, as he knew it to be the fixed de. Perninatioa of all the publicans with 'ehom he was acquainted, not , attend any meeting with which the names of Williams and theddard were egrinected. He begged to be understood as nut say. .4 this with any feeling of personal hostility, because he knew neither of the gentlemen ; but it was the opinion or the trade that touch injury had been urought on it by their interference on • newer occasion. Mr. WILLIAMS said, that he could give a more substantial rea son for the attendance of so few persons on a question in which their interests ware vitally emmerned. A number of frivolous meetings of publicans had been advertised lately, at which nothing bad been done but putting the parties to expense, but certainly =wet had been said on the present occasion to induce hint to withdraw himself from any further proceedings in the object of their meeting. Mr. Ist.' repelled the insinuation, that any feelings of a pecu niary maitre would restrain the independent body of publicans foam aeskiag to do themselves justice. Mr. WILLIAM 3 then quitted the room. Mr. fixbr moved, that Mr. Cuthbert should take the Chair, which was seconded, and carried unanimously. Mr. figs., moved, that the meeting should adjourn till Friday, the Ail April, at twooclockii std that the advertisement for its reserwesubling should be sigoed by Mr. Cuthbert.

MORRIS AND ANOTHER V. rATON. 0 This was an action tor the breach of an agreement entered int. : by the defendant with the plaintiffs, the proprietors of the Hayt market Theatre. Mr. Paton was the father of the actress of tba name, and the agreement in question was entered into by him, on behalf of the young lady, she being a monde, and therefore not capable of judging for herself. ' Mr. Grawtr stated the case. The defendant's daughter, he said, who was no doubt known to all the Jury, was drat brought forward by the plaintiff. at their Theatre, in 1822, at which tune they acted towards her with the greatest liberality—for before she had perloemed at all, and when it could not be known whether she would be successful or not. they agreed to give her 81. a week for ' the season; and Hr. Paton afterwards agreed that his daughter I should enter into an engagement for three succeeding seasons, at 91., 101., and 111. per week, and an agreement was to be signed to that effect before the season of 11322 expired. Frequent applications were made to him to execute his agreement, but he invariably evaded doing so; still, however, she commenced the season of 1825, at a salary of 101., and continued to play occasionally till the latter end of August, at which time she refused to play any more, alleging that her health was so bad she must have rest to recruit her strength. Accordingly on the Ist of September she withdrew her self from the theatre entirely, and that at a time when her writes were most material to the coneezn : in consequence of her doing so, the plaintiffs were subjected to very great loss. She withdrew her. self on the Ist of September, on pretence of ill health ; on the 2d • she left London; on the sth she sang in public at Manchster ; on the 9th, 10th, llth. and 12th at Exeter; on the 20th at Marche. ter; again on the Nth at Glasgow; and on the Pthh and thilowing week at Edinburgh. Atul in this ntanner it was that this young lady retired to recruit her health by rest. To recover a compensii. Lion for the loss which the plaintiffs had sustained by defendant's breach of agreement, the present action was brought. Mr. Edward Pritchard, the Treasurer of the Haymarket The atre, produced the agreement signed by the defendant. Miss Paton continued to act in the season of 1823. till the beginning of September—the witness paid her salary to 31r. Paton, eight pounds a week, for 1822, aid ten pounds for that part of 180 in which she played. After she ceased to play the receipts of the house evi. dendy fell off. Cross-examined.—Witneas did not know that Miss Paton refused to sign articles in 1823 for eleven weeks, nor whenkthe cement: age. (The contract was then put in and read. It commenced—•• I consent that my daughter shall," &c. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—WeII, Mr. Gurney, and have you prcred that Miss Paton did agree? Mr. Settahtirr —This, as I think, is the first time such an action as this was ever brought. I never heard of an action hav ing been brought against a father who had consented to his daughter's marriage, because the daughter afterwards refused to marry. Mr. GURNEY contended that the word "consent" must here be taken to mean "agree." The Learned Counsel then put in a letter of Mr. Paton to Mr. Morris, in which that gen. tlemsn stated that his daughter would not ratify the agreement, but, to prevent disappointment, would perform for a certain number of weeks. The letter also contained some observation , ' as to the con. duct of the managers in the preceding seasonn, in having called on Miss Paton to appear so frequently before th e public, to the eri. dent injury of her health. It also stipulated that the lady should have a rcto as to the gentleman with w h om she was to be called on to perform. A letter was also put in from Miss Paton, in which she stated that it was useless to apprise her of rehearsals, as it was not her intention to perform any more. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, upon this evidence, declared his opinion, that this was not a contract binding Mr. Paton, or ren dering hint liable in this action; it was not an agreement that his daughter should perform—it was only a consent that she should do so, if she thought fit. Plaintiff nonsuited. PALACE COURT, Tawarai.r, Aran. 15. MARSHALL v. LONDON. This was an actien in which the plaintiff, • poor man, sought to MOM damages of the defendant, his landlord, fur lUegally dis training his goods. The plaintiff rented an apartment in the defendant's house, at 3e. lid. per week; and by the time that the sum of 21. 17s. lid. be came due for rent, be pre the plaintiff a bill of exchange for 31. 171. which he had received, desiring him to retain that as a se curity, and when it became due to pay himself whatever rent might then be awing, and to pay over the balance; the defendant took the bill but a few days before it became due ; he put an execution into the plaintiff's apartment, where it remained until the bill was regularly paid, when the defendant acknowledged that he had Ifis. beyond what he was entitled to. The Jury returned a verdict far the plaintiff—damages 205., be. sides the expenses of the /lances and the balance of the bill. LENT ASSIZES. SOMERSET, APRIL S. Robert Pinney, was tried for having, on the 7th of February last, stolen an ass, the property of Ann Goff, near Chcrd. The evidence of the pmsccutrix excited much merriment in Court. On being asked if she could swear to the animal, she replied, " I do know my ass he was my constant coin anion for twenty long yeah, and was a brier bird! Ifly ass, p lea se your W'orship, my Lord, do know me so well as you do, may it please your Worship, my Lord." The witness then said the animal's name was Timothy, and when she did call him " Tim ! Tim !" he would harts (run) order (after) her like any cheeld. The prosecu nix, in further describing the ballets of affectionate intimacy be tween her and the loving donkey, cost irreverently, but innocently, assumed the Judge to be the purloined animal, and waving up her hand to his Lordship, as in the set of beckoning to her four-footed companion, called out " Tim ! Tim !" with as much affectionate confidence that she should be obeyed, as if the ass were before bar torcp.riag to trot across the table to his beloved mistress. She fur. then described her lost friend as haring a white spat (white spot) under her belly. The holiness of the good woman's testimony, and her descriptive portrait of the donkey, In the vernacular Somennshire idiom, oe. casioned the most immoderate laughter, in which his Lordship and the whole bar heartily participated Prisoner said he had a wife and those small children, and there. fore prayed for mercy. Verdict—Gaily. Twelve months' imprisonment. Thomas Adams, aged IV, Tiardhe Turk, 17, Edward N.:6k, IS, Chatter Surlgrove, IS, and J. Ilicilriwnd, 24, were indicted for killing and slaying John Cam, labourer, on the 30th August last. Mr. Easetwe (with whom was Mr. W. D. Ilsrxx) torthe pro secution, stated the cue, the substance of which will be found the following evidence : Francis Smger miming:4 be Mr. Bar Lr.—Witnees lea labourer at Ficome Selactid, knew the deceased and his brother. On the 23d August last; he went into the Blue Boar, of Frame, sad there saw J. ('refs and his brother, he sat down and drank a pint of bar with them. The prisoners, Adams, Turk, and Richmond, wen then on the opposite aide of the room drinking. A man named Coombs came into the room, had some beer, and left part of it in a cup, and then went out; Turk took it up, and when Coombe came in again, he asked fur his beer, on which Turk gave it up ; day had previously had some words with the primers, who said they hal not had it—saw two reap books in the possession of the ()rases, which were bound with straw • CI. Cress left about ten o'clock with one Waring, and winner:id it was rather dark, and after they had got about two yards from the Inn, they heard some whooping and a great noise s after which witness and Cress turned round and saw J. Cris brandishing the reap hooks, de- fending himself against the attacks of the prisoners ; at last they overpowered him, and when he was down saw a person hit him on the right side of the head with his fist, and then the reap hooka droopped from J. Cress' hands ; Richmond took them up, and G. CMS took them from Mil; Turk went away almost imme diately, and said his hip was cut. This was about ten yards from the Blue Boar ; and the young man wounded, which was J. Cam, was taken to a surgeon. 0. Cress (brother to deceased) said, he lives at H • , near Bath. He stated that he bought the hooks with his 'at. Bath ; went to the Blue Boar toilet some drink. Charles Carpenter deposed, that he knew prisoners at the bar. After recapitulating the same evidence as was given by previous witnesses—he says, he saw Adams strike Crete with his fist, which felled him to the ground, he saw no other blow given, but ob. served the prisoners begin the row. Samuel Waring bound the hooks with straw fur John Cress, and when he mine out of the inn. the books were unbound; be went on with deceased and his brother, until he saw some one coming, and then it was he mil " I'll give you a bellyful" Soon after this, heard priories my something; did not know what; but distinctly heard cursing and swearing at his party. When they were standing nearly opposite the Blue Boar, E. Noble struck J. trees; deceased !truck no one; was walking slowly backwards, and fell down on the tlag.stones. Stephen Browne, constable, said, on the 23d August he heard a noise in the street, went out, saw some one fall, and heard a " hum!" Turk requested constable to take the hooks from G. ('reel. Turk mid he was wounded, and when J. Cress was at the surgeon's, Turk exclaimed, " This is the man, and be would do it again if he served him so ill." Witness saw- J. Cress con veyed to the guard-house, as the surgeon's apprentice was in that deceased was in liquor at the time, and did not then ext u irg the body. Constable did not know that be had received 9. blow in the head ; next morning he saw deceased, who was Waft at the nose, and appeared insensible. • Mr. Francis Bush, surgeon, deposed that he had no doubt the deceased died in consequence of his having received a wound in his head. After his death he opened the head of deceased, sod found the brain much inflamed. He saw the wound Turk received, and thought it done with a reap-hook in a place of great danger. The JUDGE cautiously summed up the evidence, and said, that no previous malice was entertained by the prisoner was very clear ; but that it was such a confused occurrence that the Jury should be very cautious in drawing the line of demarcation as to the guilt of each individual. The Jury consulted sonic time, end returned a verdict of Guilty against Adams, and Not Guilty as to the rest of the prisoners. HOLIES r. COLLETT. This wee an intim% for criminal convecesties. The plaintiff's ease woe conducted by Mr. &witty Mr. Brougham, and Mr. Thessiger. The Attorney-General, Mr. C. Phillips, and Mr. Adolobus, jun. were for the defendant.

The defendant was a hop-factor, in the Bo mush, a gentleman of fortune, and a son of Member of Par. liameat. . . . . . Mr. Sc**LsTT having stated the case, the following witnesses were called : George Willoughby, clerk to the plaintiffs attorney, produced the certificate of the marriage of the plaintiff and Miss Co'burn, at Bromley, in Kent, in January, 1810.

He acknowledged he had treated her ill, but said he would act differently In future—had not heard from her that Mr. Holmes treated her ill. Ile did not visit them some times for six months together--elid not hear plaintiff say any thing about a person of the name of Oliver till last Christmas. The letters of Mrs. Holmes from her to her husband, written to him whilst abremt on his journeys, and couched in terms of the warmest aff,•ction, were then read. They commenced in 1821, and continued down to the latter end of 1H22; they throughout spoke in the strongest terms of affection, and expressed the most anxious wishes for his return.

Thomas Copts, the driver of one of the coal-waggons belonging to Mr. Nicholls, of Sun Wharf, Thames -street, was charged with wantonly and cruelly flogging s horse in Fleet-street, on Friday afternoon. . _ . Inine Brock, a gmtleman residing in Doughty-etreet, was the complainant in this instance, and stated that Fleet-street was unusually full of vehicles on the day in question, when he observed tne defendant whipping his horses on through every opening, and ; apparently determined to get to the bottom of the street before anybody else, as though some wager or his life depended on it. Baulked in one of these sallies to ge: foremost, upon being forced into the line of carriages again, he fell to lashing the tint horse of the team in the most furious and unmerciful manner, and at the same time a fellow who was in the waggon jumped down, and (for what cause he could not divine) savagely ticked the second horse on the belly. Mr. Nicholls ha bee. stunmened to produce both these offenders, but only one was a atrondeemes The defendant denied having legged the hem, and said the man in the waggon was a stranger, &lid had not kicked the second hoese as described. Being closely pressed, however, afterwards, as to who his companion was, he flatly denied having seen any such man, or driven any waggon on the day vented. Ile admitted he, hod been out with a cart, but he did lint know the number of it, though he had been in Mr. Nicholls's employ two years. Mr. Alderman C. SMITH said the wantonness of the drivers of heavy vehicles, their consciousness of th e overpowering strength of their horses and carriages, and their recklessness of alt conse memos, were notorious. A dar or two ago the boa of one of his carriage wheels was torn off in k lea -meet, in ewe of these freaks of a waggoner. He fined the defendant 20s. and costa. 110W.STREET. Yesterday Joseph Lo;,,MreartiiLioeOlekragl, gunners of the Royal Artillery. were brought before Sir H. Bi num, charged with defrauding Chelsea Hospital, by personating two men who were entitled to prize money ; and James Clark, a bombardier in the same corps, was c►arged with aiding, abetting, and counselling the other prisoners in the commission of the °Bence. The principal evidence against the prisoner was that of an ac complice, who, conscience-stricken at having taken a part in such a crime, disclosed the fraud to the proper authorities. It appeared that the prisoner Logan went, on the 16th of 'March, to Chelsea Hospital, and representing himself to be John Forgay, a gunner who served at the taking of Oaudaloupe, claimed prize money for his share in that capture. He presented a ticket which was sup. posed at the time to be genuine, but which was subsequently dis. covered to he a forgery. On the same day Coldough went to the Hospiral, and claimed prize money as James Worthington, a gunner who was present at the taking of the Isle of France. He also pre sented a prize ticket, and received the amount of the claim. These prisoners had been instigated to commit frauds by the prisoner Clark, who shared the money thus obtained. The prisoners, when called on for their defence, declined saying any thing, and Clark requested that he might be remanded, in order to have time to procure legal advice. They were remanded for a week. if r UOO 01 lilo.llle 800 unanti IACCA, just imported.

Yesterday Mr. Tatham. a respectable solicitor residing in (olden. square, came to this office, to communicate to the Magistrate a car., eumstanee which he said he thought it highly necessary the public should be put in possession of. He stated that he had a party of friends at his house oo Tuesday evening, and that among a variety of confectioners he had ordered from a neighbouring one some wafer cakes, such as are generally used at evening parties. Those cakes art of various colours—green, red, blue, he. and that in colouring them in this manner to make them ornamental s various deleterious substances, as lie had been given to under.' stand are used, such as verdegris, sugar of lead, be. In the course of the evening, be said, two of the servants were taken suddenly and alarmingly ill ; so much so, that it was thought right to send foe Mr. Shelton, the surgeon. On this gentleman's ex. amining them, he found that they complained of great pain In their stomachs, and on inquiry, he discovered that they had been eating freely of those wafer cakes. Mr. Shelton immediately . de. dared that he attributed their illness to the effects of the poison ous ingredients used in the ornamenting of those cakes. Proper remedies were immediately administered, and the servants are io a state of recovery. The man servant who made the most free with the cakes was very near being poisoned. Sir G. FARWAKT said the communication of Mr. Tatham was l one which it was most proper of him to have made ; that those wafer cakes were in very general use at evening.parties; that *serious and alarming effects arising from the use of them, Mich he, Mr. Pathan , : had stated, ought to be made known to the public, which he had no doubt it would be. ALARMING AND DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. LFrom the Derby Mercbry of Wednewlay.) Yesterday morning, about three o'clock, the inhabitants of this town were thrown into great terror and alarm by the discovery that the Shot 'rower of Messrs. Cox and Pointer was on fire. The alarm, which was first given by the watchmen, soon became general, by the reiterated cries of "fire," the springing of rattles, and the broken peals of the bells of the different churches, and the scene of the destructive element shortly became awfully conspicu ous from the flames which burst from the summit of the tower. The inhabitants and the firemen, with their respective engines, hur ried to the spot with great alacrity. All Saints engine was the I first to arrive, which, being in perfect order, and directed by Mr. Chatterton with his accustomed energy and ability. assisted by the engines from St. Peter's and St. Alkmand's, did great eset.u. lion I whilst the mike from St. Werburgh's was most efficaciously coo -1 ducted by Mr. Hood to an opposite dircction. I he Tower was ltrfl feet in height, divided into seven stories by finance stages, with a eireu!ar opening in the centre from top to bottom foe the manufactutte of the shot, a spiral stone staircase lead. ing to the top, where tits lead is melted and the shot cast. The workmen haebeen engaged in the manufactory the preceding even ing, and the lire is supposed to have been occasioned by the caster ' having incautiously left some wood too near the furnace, in conse quence of which it communicated to the floor. The burning frag ments falling down conveyed the mischief to the stories below, ar d it descended with so much rapidity, that, notwithstanding the ac tive and unremitting exet dons used to stop its progress, five of the floors were consumed before it could be overpowered. The weighty apparatus and machinery used in the manufacture of the shot and the winding up of the lead, descended at intervals with great vio lence, breaking in their coure the massy and partly-consumed beams of the building, and forcing many of the stone steps from the wall, and, in consequence, the two lower floors were ccmpletely broken down and destroyed. The principal aim of the firemen was to prevent the devastation fmm extending beyond the tower, and, by their unwearied and active exertions for the space of about three hours, the whole of the adjacent works and buildings bare, under Providence, bastipeeserved from destruction. The appearance of this catastrophe was particularly grand and awful when the flames first issued front its summit, arising la a , considerable volume, accompanied with innumerable fragments of ignited matter, which formed in their descent showers of fire, and , its red and murky appearance presented a striking contrast to tile pure light of the moon, which shone at the time in an opposite dl. rection with unclouded brightness. As the fire descended, the flames were confined to the interior of the building, and the effect became lees suiting. The utmost terror and confusion prevailed among the inhabitants in the immediate vicinity, many of them flying precipitately with their nullifies from the apprehended dan ger, but we are happy to learn that no accident of any serious nature occurred on the occasion. Notwithstanding the frequent and violent concussions occasioned by . the falling of the beams, and the tweaking down of the stone staircase, not a brick of this immense tower hits been displaced. It was built by our townsman, Mr..lnNeph Caseoyne, during his ap prenticeship with the late Mr. John Welch. Theextent of the loss cannot at present be ascertained, but it consists chiefly in the injury sustained by the building. It is thought that it will be necessary to take down and rebuild the upper part of the tower, but its present state is so dangerous from the pre. eanuus situation of the impending fragments shich remain within, as te nailer any examination of it impracticable. 71IE ARMY. Detachtriesta belonging to several regiments marched yesterday morning from the Recruiiing Doportment in 'Westminster, for Windsor, Chichester, Winchester, Portsmouth, and the Isle of Wight. NW LEVIES. By Idle return which has been trVaTie up to the 12th inst. and which has been received from North Britain, it appears that the new levies proceed very slowly in that quarter. l'p to the 12th instant the total of the recruits raised only amounted to tight for the 97th, none for the path, and seven fur the:X:lh regiments of infantry. The return for England is expected to be more favourable, irod that for Ireland still more so. eoRONER'S INQUIST.

Juror—Were there no medical gentlemen obtained to assist die unfortunate deceased ? Did no person propose one being cag e d Witness replied in the negative to both these 9uestions ; addi ng . that the deceased was so near his end when be first saw him, ;b at all medical aid would have been useless. _ Biddy Barry, woman who keeps a lodging hou se at N o. 6. in . Faisenbtidge-court, Crown -street, stated, that the deceased was an elderly man, and had slept in her house for fire nights, but did not sleep there on the night prior to his death. He was a lab oul i m . man, and had lately come from Ireland. During the time he ha lodged with her he had been unwell, and complained of gr eat ps i s' in his head, attended with oppressed breathings. Ile had no me. dial gentleman to attend upon him ; he considered he would ``e; better without the doctor ; he ate his meals heartily. On Tuesd a y evening, about six o'clock, he went away, having previously said he should for the future lodge at Iles. k lemlnes, which is in the parish of St. Giles's witness's house is in St. Ana's), as he conti dered that parish would pass him to Ireland. Witness went with him to 11n. Fleming's, in Johnson's -court, Backeridgesureet, to chew him the way, and on reaching the house she left him. Coroner—Had the poor fellow no advice whilst he lodged wick 2 yoU • Witness—He had not ; he never expressed a wish to have a doe torsent for. Jtwor—Vou know very well you could have procured the rind. once of the parish doctor, upon a proper application to the rise* without incurring any expense. Ellen Fleming stated, that she kept a lodging-house for strangers at No. 2, Johnson's-court, Buekendge-street. On Tuesday even. ing, between seven and eight o'clock, the deceased inquired if sh e had half a bed to let. She replied she had, and asked him to sit down, whilst she procured him a candle to show him hi s room . H e said he should only occupy it about a week, and that his son would be with him. The last witness soon after brought a quart of milk ' for the deceased to drink warm, but he refused to partake of it. He thee went to bed, and on the next morning (Wednesday) he got out of bed and dressed himself with her assistance. He corn. plained of being very ill, and said he would go to his son, who was at the house of Mrs. Barry, the last witness, and would have a doe. tor. Witness got two men to assist him there, as he could scarcely walk, and on getting near the Crown public-house, in Crown. street, he became very faint ; two other men came to his assistance, as did also Ms son. The deceased became wane, and was carried into Faloonbridge-court, where he died on the stones. Juror-1 ou say the deceased got out of bed by himself, and at his own wish ; now, didn't you insist on his getting up and leaving your house immediattly, and was he not forcibly dressed ? Witness protested moat solemnly that what she had stated in evi. device was strictly true. Coroner—lf it can be proved that the unfortunate deceased was removed against his Inclination, at • time when he Was in such a dreadful state, and that removal was the cause of death, the parties concerned therein are liable to be tried for m u rd e r. This appeared to astound the witness, who was desired to leave the room. William Hagan, the son of the deceased, was next examined.... Ile said that his father was a native of Bsgnigge Town, is Ireland, from which place he had lately arrived in this country. He came by the steam-packet to Liverpool, as a deck passenger. He had a very bad passage, it having rained incessantly ; and be caught a violent cold. 'fitness considered his father was dangerously 11l on Tuesday evening, and he went for his sister, who was in service in a gentleman's family at the west end of the town. About half an hour before his death, he (witness) went to him at his lodgings at Mrs. Fleming's, and found him in bed. Ile was rejoiced at seeing him, but was very ill. He asked for some tea, and witness went ■way for the purpose of procuring him some at Mrs. Barry's; but, before it was prepared, a report came that that he was very ill in the street, and he ran out to meet him, and assisted to bring him Into the house of Mrs. Barry, in Falconbridge.court, but he etied before he reached there. By • Juror—Witness considered the deceased (when he saw bins in bed as aforesaid, at 3lrs. Fleming's) so ill and weak as sot to be able to dress himself. Edward Dury, who lodges in Mrs. Fleming's house, stated, that about eight o'clock on Wednesday trimming, when he went home to breakfast, a man named Thomas Straw, another lodger, told him that the deceased had got the rattles in his throat. Mr. and Mrs. Fleming went into the room, where be was lying In bed. feitness was in the room adjoining, mid beard both insult co the nesold's getting up. In about a quarter of an bow afar, he (witness) went into his room, and he was then standing op- The man na:ned Straw was also thine, and also the landlord and land. lady. The eyes of the deceased were sunk in his lual, Isis lips were black, and he could not speak. At the desire of Mr. and Mrs. Fleming, witness and another man assisted him. He was unable to walk almost even with their help. He gambled very much an the way. and they were obliged to stop several times, until they got near the Crown public-house, when he became quite sense. leas, and so remained until he died. Mr. William Jennett. of No. 28, Gerrard-street, apothecery, stated, that he had seen the body of the deceased, and had examined him from head to foot ; no outward appearance of violence was visible. - . - - . — (sM;ner—Can you say that the remoeid of the deceased muted his death Witness—Undoubtedly not. The foreman suggested the propriety of the depositions being read over to Mr. Jennett. Mr. Jennett said there was no occasion for that proceeding, es the jury would net be more informed than they were at present. The Coroner asked whether the removal of a person in the last stage of existence would not accelerate death ? Witness--Most certainly it would; and persons who would urge such removal must be highly culpable. William Macdonald, living ►t No. 2, Johnson's.eourt, stated be was in the house of Mrs. Fleming, when the deceased applied for a lodging on Tuesday nit. Witness slept with him, and, woo after they had gone to bed, the decensed complained of pains in his head, and his lower extremities were quite cold. Witness arose about five o'clock, and went to work, leaving the deceased in bed asleep. Ile saw no more of him. William Straw, another lodger in Fleming's house, stated, that he went into the deceased's room about eight o'clock, and heard him choking. He called Mrs. Fleming in, saying, •• For God's sake come in, the man is dying !" She went in, raised him up in bed, put on his shoes and stockings, and after wards desired hum (witness) and Dury to assist him out of the house. Foreman—Did Mrs. Fleming seem anxious to get rid of him ? No. . _ Juror—Where was you desired to take him to t—To Fakes. bridge -court, to Mrs. Barry's. Foreman—Didn't it strike you it was very improper at remove him whilst in that bad state ? ‘Vitness—l thought they were going to send him to a Esetee's. The Coroner here again remarked upon the inhumanky ',sack a proceeding ; he assured the witness he was very lucky, for if it could have been proved that the death of the deceased was predated by the removal, you, your friend Dury, and Mrs. blessing, would have been tried for murder. Mrs. Fleming was again called, and asked what was bat abject in getting the poor man out of her house. She said that she wished him to be with his son, soondioi to his request. —We should not hesitate in believing you, bad you not tolelWl;adle you lived in Compton.atreet, instead of JOiIIOOOD court. You must have been afraid of something, and that you was conscious you had done wrong. Mrs. Fleming endeavoured to explain, but she was interrupted by the Coroner, who told her she was a very bad woman, and had acted with the greatest inhumanity. She had had a very narrow escape. She then retired. The Coroner recapitulated the evidence, remarking upon the inhumanity of the woman Fleming, who he had very little doubt had forced the poor fellow out of her house, but that fact could not be proved by evidence. It would be for the Jury to return their verdict according to the testimony that had been brought forward. The Jury, after a short consultation, found averdict, that " The dammed died a natural death, which was accelerated by the inhu- Inaa conduct of Ellen Fleming, who was highly blameable in allowing him to be removed whil e i n a dyin g state.
