DUTY ON CO.tis. I .1 • Yesterday a liketiselas held at the City of London Tavern, pursuant to public notate, for the purpose of preparirg a petition kr rvethiment, praying that the duty on coals might be taken 011 At a 9 uarter past two o'clock Sir Chatlee Pnce, who was ac ne:named he Aldermen Wood and Bryilgn, T. Wilson, Esq. 1404‘.14llitWilliams, Esq. M.P. ; anti s everal other respectable • si, ara called to the chair. 12:I A I 7.F s Po lc ems-Gentlemen, I regret that in consequence • iut-ta'.e in the placards, we are deprived of the attendance et sorenil reeoevable persons of the !cities of London and West. 4.lttster. and the adjoining counts s, who feel as warmly as we do k• Ai the toportant subject which is this day to occupy our anen t:la. We !Mil voine notion, when we found so small an attendance, t ',rejoin:l the consideration of the duty on coals; but on subse quent consideration, we thought, that having called the meeting, it , woulel he tho batter course to proceed with the business of the day. The Committee of the last year were not inattentive to their duties, andi . now hut to submit for your consideration a petition to Padiameit, on the subject in which we were all concerned. I trust, fltiitlenon, that from the continuance of the prosperity of he sou :cry, arid the avowal contained in his Majesty's gracious perch, at the veering of the Session, that his Minister would do 111 they could to relieve those persona who were most pressed by taxamet—i mist, Gentlemen, under such CiftUTTISISIICCS, that the duty upon coeds s ill be taken off; fur I know of no tax that presses lame .tosiaa!ly. Slanufacturen and agriculturists are alike con ceenedi a its abolition, and it is almost impossible for me to anti eiplay any oppoi.ition to our claim. I could say much about the intpe.gy of the tax; but we now, though not giving up that sarand, prefer our claim upon another—we only ask fur justice. for more than a century we have exclusively borne this tan, while we have so very largely contributed to the general taxation. Many millions have been levied upon us, and it is now time that ire shotalil look for some relief. in 179th, an application was made Its the government of that time to exempt us from this tax; they felt Blooming of cur claim, and intended affording us relief. But sobsequestly being involved in a mast arduous struggle, we ab stained from pressing our request. In 18111 we again renewed our opplaation, woich was only refused, because, as was stated, we bud not safficimatly recovered from the effects of an unexampled mar t but, at the same time, rot denying the justice of our (Aim. In the course of the last year, some portion of the taxes was taken off, and hopes were held out to us as to our using relived from the duty upon coals. I cannot anti. cipote that we shall be told, " We have you bound by an Ave of. Parliament to pay this duty, and will keep you to it." No; en part of the country shmild now be oppressed by such a tax. The Parliament is bound to take our part, and the (louse of Carmine' to do to an act of justice. Resolutions fourded on those of last year will be read to you, and a petition, founded on them, it. it meet your approval, will lie ready tor, I trust, your numerous sultanas& The language of the petition, though mild, is firm, amide all extraneous matter, and, I have no doubt, will meet wait erteral support. The Committee has corresponded with other pergola interested in this question, and they entirely agree with us. 411 1 .ser petitions will also be presented, and I entertain every hope that we shall obtain that relies', to which no man can doubt our claim, upon the grounds of poiicy and justice. Mr. SNIT 11—After what has fallen from cur worthy Chairmen, I have but little to ivy. The present meeting, following Op as it OM and acting en the principles of the last, can scarcely be con.

On that occasion we did not succeed, be nd= the :Minister, in the reduction of taxes, wished to ascertain liven the public expression what these taxes were, Whose repeal nuubl,bc attended with the greatest advantage. But public ex pression is now known to him several petitions have been pre sented on the subject, and I hope the present Session will put an snare a tax at once so unequal and so unjust. A calculation was nude in 1618 of die inequality of this tax, which will give you, raptlenteo, the best possible proof of its injustice : The port of Loudon alone paid is 18181 duty of .£500,000 About four millions of person jAy as pow rates - 2,461,000 And lIIIVCO6I dirty . . 1,049,000 While between four and five onions pay as poor masa 1,701,000 • And no coal duty at all. shall now, Gentlemen, read for you the resolutions Passed last sox, front which you will peresivetke utser impolicy of this tax, rid I dull propose tbat they form the basis of our present pro endings :- -" I.

We are obliged to look to the rivers Tyne and Wear for our supply ; In fart, London And the eastern part of the kingdom can only depend on seven or eight collieries to supply their entire etinaumption. The owners of these collieries meet every month, and then determine the quantity which shall be sent up for the ensuing month. Sir C. Pit beg to ask the gentleman, if he thinks this is relevant to the business before the meeting ? 31r. 11. II c NT.- -EICCIHTtIy. Sir C. PRICE.—We meet to discuss the propriety of petitioning Parliament, without now investigating the quantity of supply to the market. Our object is to get relieved from a heavy duty. Mr. MANI:HAW H.—l have not the slightest wish to say any thing to disturb the meeting, but I cannot help feeling that we are now obliged to pay the same price as during the height of the war. I have only further to express my hope, that the Committee will extend their inquiry and investigation, and therefore ascertain what sum lies London may look to, in case of the repeal of this tax. The first resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. Sat H—As our object is to make our complaint, by way of a petition to Parliament, I shall now propose, Mr. Chairman, that you read it. air C. PRICE having read the petition, was proceeding to put it to the meeting, when Mr. Hui: T said-1 have not seen it seconded. . - Mr. Alderman BRYDGES--1 did so. Mr. H. H x v—l do not rise, Sir, to offer the slightest opposi tion to your resolutions or petition ; I only lament that they do not go far enough. I regret that our worthy (;hairman has not suf ficiently noticed another class of persona besides the manufacturers and aristocracy—l regret he did not state how much this odious tax oppressed the poorer classes. One Hon. (iemleman (Mr. Smith) has talked to us of submitting our petition to the Representative' of the people--and he may do so if he pleases but all I shall say is, that the duty will not be taken oft' unless the Chancellor of the Exchequer pleases. With regard to Ministers taking oft taxes, we have an excellent sample lately before us :—One half the Window Tax was taken off. but then came a double surcharge on the House Duty. This was taking oft' a penny and laying on two pence. (Cries et "Question, question.") rhat, I say, is the question; and I lament that there should be no more than 280 persons patent at this meeting, when so many thousands, nay millions, of interests are comet:riled. It is said to be necessary to apply to the rn es aiv of the people—l tall them the representatives ortniouse of Commons (laughter)--for assistance ; but I say apply to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for he can do more in !WA way than all their Honours tagethet. ' What will the Commit tee say to-winnow, when the public press states the thinness of a meeting in which the public are an interested ? How did that happen ? One would have thought that the whole city of London would have endeavoured to cram themselves into this room, and give up a portion of their time and trouble in attendance on the meeting, in order to get rid of this partial and unjust tax. I ask why the gentlemen who attend here for the press will be obliged to state to-morrow that there was so small, so very small a meeting, on so groat and so important an ocamion ? I hope I shill not leave this room without an answer; and I hope that some resolution will be passed, recommending all our fellow-citizens to follow up this measure. We are all indebted to the ('onimittoe, and I hope a resolution will be proposed to ask others to join them in their labours. Why, I ask, have we not Common Halls and Ward. mutes i' Why keno( the whole city in airs ? Perhaps the worthy Alderman (Wood) would state how some mime" high in power in the city—l say in the city—do not encourage those things, or how the relations of some of the parties happen to be cnal-meteve., 1A voice cried onto" Shame ! Shame !") Indeed it is a shame. I don't wish to mention names unless I am driven tc it. Gentlemen who cry out shame at such a Meeting as this ought to know me better than to think they can so easily put me down. I ark then, is it not a fact that a near relative of the Lord Mayor's Molds a large siltation connected with the coal duties in the city ? spak oat. lam not afraid to speak hoer--I • who have addressed so many meetings where thousands were assembled, was never known to fear. l'llapeak out, although I was told at a large meeting sesne time ago, aye, and in the City of London tos, by a certain prim, that if I did so I waddle assassinated. Perhaps the per son sow crying out " Shame !" would do so too, and shortly ob tain for himself what the other did—a Consulship to South Ame rim—nothing less,. I can assure you. Again, I ask how can the smallness of the meeting be accounted for ? I should like to heat wen explanation on that point. Individeally I feel 'mewled in the object of this meeting, for I consume nearly 180 thiddrons of cask as I deal with meet respectable persons, Mears. Da vey and Sawyer, for a peculiar desotiption of coal, and the other day, wheal went for a supply, the answer was; " We have Itsbip is tirapool, bat wenn% lens the male for a fortnight for want of a solidest member of treneseters." Ite short, Sir, every thing which bee a madame° make coals dear should be carefully avoid. d; end I have •as doubt, if you pass a resolution calling upon admix diarist parts of the - kingdom to do as we are bow do ing,- that it will materially errata op= the Chancellor of the Ex. chequer, sad relieve the poor and darned elms 'of the comoniniy. Mr. Alderman Woos—l feel nand, In some degree calleduren, after whet has tells from Mr. Hunt, to give web an explanation se I ea ibis epee the subject of the thinness of this meeting --although. I 'leer, it may sot be very satisfactory to Rug Gentle man.

(Ilea; Mar, Ikon Mr. Hunt.) As an allusion bad been made to the paint Lad Mayor, I mite beg loam to say a ward, is eider to set Mr. Heft right. Mr. Hum meet knew, that even if the tax wale taken off, that ft could by De means affect the situation held by Mr. Reeves; womb at the bead of the Lad coal meters, and is obliged to regulate thi me tees, and see that every man has his Rill measure, be he rich or poor: I thence call his anatien one of great utility and import. UM. The dealers who get their coals nom the ships, are sure to haw theirproper quantity and the business of Mr. Reeves is to ase that poor men hays their full measure also. Vor though by land they may have a bushel to measure their coals, still they are rarely suspicious, and never use it. The salary of Mr. Reeves is nt more than 001. • year ; and that of the next gentleman to him 3001.,—and 1 do assure the meeting, that I think these sentie men to be invaluable in their occupations. With respect to a de ficiency in the number of coal-meters, I can safely state that when I lately snide a mot i on for their increase to twelve more, the Lord Mayor was most anxious t h at their number should be increased to 40 or 50. He pressed it upon me to urge for such an extension ; and therefore, 1 say, that the Lord Mayor should be fully exone rated from this charge. With respect to the duty of the extra 3s. upon coals, all I can say Is this,—l - ay it here as strongly as I have said it elsewhere, that we have been robbed of it for th e last hun dred yews. In 1710, it was put on for the purpose of building a) churches, only eleven of which were built. In 1718, 600,001)1. of the produce of this tax was applied to the pay ing of some tickets of a lottery, which were then due. Up to 1720, they continued to borrow money from this tax, and then they carried it to the consulidated fund. I always said it was a partial and an unjust tax ; and so I told Lordl Liverpool and the Chancellor of the Exchequer last session, when the discussions were going forward about the sum to be advanced by Government in aid of the new London bridge. I even added, that they owed us above ten millions of money. There me many reasons foe taking oft the Ils. duty is Cornwall and Devoe, where the lime necessary foe the manure of an acre cost fle. and perhaps the acre itself not worth more .han Os. If the Cornish people hit for their country—if their Represenuitives felt for their conetnents, whom they so very seldom mat, but if they did, and the forty mem ; ben for Cornwall were to tell the Chancellor of the Exchequer the tax must be taken oil; I have no doubt the request would be at tended to. The great duty must always check the supply, for the small coals ars always thrown out and burned, is ordw to get rid of them, as they would not pay the expenses of nosport to any distince. Mr. Besxcusaes—Unc.4lthd of the whole quantity of cosh is so disposed Mr. A I.DES KAN WOOD—WC can have no coals front Stafford shim, except is very small quantities, there being an officer placed at a certain part of the river whose duty it is to prevent their coining.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL %unrested that it would be more convenient if Mr. Gasclee would begin bf . arguing in support or the witinflanins to the Corporation, to appoint one or two deputy seneschals. George VeleyiEsq. sub.seneschal of Gravesend, had presented two, Southgate and Rich, to the Corporation, in order to have one of them sworn in to act as his deputy. The Corporation re fused, and for the obstruction given by Rich and Southgate, while insisting that one of them be sworn in, the rule for a criminal infor. motion was obtained, A nutoda rota was applied for on the other side, to compel the Corporation to comply. • Mr. IiAsxLEE argued for the issuing of a mandamus; and then proceeded to urge, that whether they had or had not a right to demand to be sworn in, yet, as they had conceived they had the right, the Court would not resist them with a criminal information, even if they should have somewhat exceeded their right. It was sworn that they did retire to give time to consider. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE—And again returned. Mr. OASELEE said, that at the Court of Burglintote they retired when ordered, and returned only to hear the result. They were told the Court had refused their demand. But members of the Court raid that the question had not been properly put. They retired and returned in this way three times. The affidavits for the rule stated that they refused at last to retire, on which account the Mayor dissolved the meeting. There were twelve affidavits on the other side, contradicting this. The ATTOIINEY.GENEIIAL did not think this case was answer ed ; but his client sought only peace, and if there would be an en gagement not to repeat the disturbance, he was instructed not to mitts further fur the rule or the costs. 111 r. GasELEE agreed, and gave the engagement. The Loan CHIEF J UST let was clearly of opinion the rule for the maridamits must be dischatged. It was not to do any minis terial act for the suMsentschal, which might be doubtful ; but it was to compel the Corporation to appoint, to swear in, to admit into their Corporation, which was clearly incompetent. The other Judges agreed.—Both 'rules discharged. JITDOMENTS.-LIBEL THE ZING OX THE PROSECUTION OF LORD GEORGE SEYMOUR s'. JOliN CORRY. The libel consiated in' charging Lord George Seymour with borrowing money from inferior officers of the excise. fhe defend. ant deposed to4hformation from an officer of ►xcise, named IVilley, to the effect of the libel, and that a seizure of malt in his house was by the direction of Lion George Seymour. Ile had written a letter apologising to Lord George Seymour. He had a wife and seven children. _ _ _ Ale. ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Court upon the ag gravation of circulating handbills containing such offensive charges. Ile was instructed, however, by Lord George Seymour, to leave it entirely to the Court, and not press very hastily against the defendant. The defendant gave a history of his hardships—writing to the Treasury and getting no answer—having his malt seized upon anottyroous informations, though the duty had been paid. Lord George Seymour never answered his letters. Then he wrote those letters to the Chancellor of the Exchequer which he has ever since been sorry for. His object hod been to obtain redress, not to slan der his Lordship, against whom he had no animosity. The lightest punishment ea him would be heavy upon his family. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—The libel was of a very offensive nature. and published le a very objectionable form. It was a charge of borrowing'money from so officer who obtained it by frauds on the revenue. Lord George Scythe/or being one of the Chief Commis sioners of Excise, this was a very grave offence. He ought, instead of writing to Lord George Seymour, to have denied the calumny as it had been circulated. The sentence wu imprisonment for one month in the Marshal sea, and that he give securities for three years, himself in 40L, and two sureties in 211. cach. LIBEL. nunrantn r. INDIAN OBSERVER. The ATTOIXEY-UENESIAL referred to what bad taken place yesterday,. and thee stated that the point to which the Court had directable Wads" was, the denial of having received a security brim the Milan for double the sum lent to the Main. The libel alleged that the house of Palmer and Company, of which Sir IV. Rumbold was a partner, advanced three hundred and fifty thousand pounds to the Mum, and received an acknowledgment for 700,0001. which was pre s ented tp the British Government, to defraud it of 350,000 L This was datlnctly negatived. The only documents to substantiate their claims were accounts of debts justly due by the Navin to the ham of Palma and Co. The British Govern ment had never become bound to pay Palmer and Co. any debts of the Nina. Mr. Justice BEST said there was a difficulty existing in this are which he could not get over. The alleged libel charged Sir William with borrowing money of the natives at 12j per cent. and I then lending It to a native Prince at 25 per cent. This was not denied ; A do so was a heavy offence, and he could not see how an individual who had so acted could come to the Court for a criminal iii . , 0, - --:a. . - - - -- —M -- - - - :::: that-- -. - - - 7 The ATTOIRRY-GINER4L did Doe k now t h at WaS .•••• nVa bat it was alt the point to which his attention had bees Mr. Justice Dier said it was a very serious offence, as would be ad by a reference to transactions 40 years ago.

Mr. Beaumont, as Director of the County -office, on a policy of insurance, abened by the plaintiff. A very long and careful examination took pbse an the trim', and a verdict for the plaintiff, with I,POOL cis. 10.1111 b An appheation had afterwards been made for a new trial, wan two grounds, but refused. A rule bed, however, been sub. 7=dy granted, upon affidavits of fresh evidence in the case. affidavits stated . two grounds:—Fiat, that the defendant had been taken by surprise by evidence given at the trial; and, se madly, that he had discovered new facts. He apprehended that the Court ought to proceed in a cam of this description with great caution, as nothing could form a more dangerous _precedent than to discuss evidence which had satisfied the mind of a Jury. It was impossible to grant a new trial ea the ground of surprise. The next ground was more important, end required attentive considera tion. The affidavit of the defendant stated that be had new facts to submit, .and in considering them. the Court was bound to pre. coed with the utmost caution. Let them examine what they were. They related—firm, to the origin of the fire in Watling-street; but this pert rested chiely on the testimoni of Hunt. The other ground via, that the goods purchased Thurtell, of Todd and Monition. were not on the premises, ore, ' so, that they were after wards removed end sold to Messrs. Hargraves. Now, with respect to the manner of the fire, the same defence had been attempted to be made on the viol, end this showed that the defendant, in oppo. eition to what he stated in his affidavit, could not have been taken by surprise, for this wee the very ground on which he went to trial. With respect to ;Robinson's •Martt, of which his Lordship read part, it stated that he mw a room on lire, but no goods in it, and that be thought there could not be any considerable quantity of rods on the premises. New, it would be a most dangerous prece dent indeed to grant a new trial on such a ground as this, because those witnesses who might have been brought forward on the trial, were not brought famed. If such a practice were to prevail, the Court would be overwhehned with applications for new trials, and there would be no end to !itegutien. But /het this gentleman eanteei - - the tradiocd by Tarley, by Dcit. raid by Enffison, and ecery allega tion in his affidavit negathei. The aVicavit of Snowdon was open to this observation, that thoughit traversed the ease from the be ginning to the end, it did out state trout whom he procured the goods sold ta3liagrave; but he swore positively that he did not act. count for them to ThurtelL It should not be omitted that it was sworn that this witness was rot entitled to belief on oath. The Court then made some otservations on the aspersions cast upon J 1 r. Beaumont, and said it was bound to protect hint trout any insinu. ' ations. Could the Court say that it would exercise a sound discre tion by granting a new trial on this affidavit, unsupported salt was, and opposed by other testimony, however the parties in this case ' might be covend with guilt? Mr. B. had sworn that he had I found the invoices shriller, except the per cottage of the pricer. What did he mean by that ? The Court could not act oo his affi. davit; he should have produced the invoices themselves. The Court did not think this part of the case was sufficiently strong to induce it to grant a new trial. On the trial the Jury thought the balance of evidence was in favour of the plaintiff; as to the quantity and value of the goods on the premises. l'pon the whole, there fix*, the Court, duly considering and attentively weighing the mi.- ! dence before it, was of opinion there was not sufficient ground for a new trial. Ile would only add one word more. With respect to ' the indictment that had been preferred, it would only have been fair on the part of Mr. Beaumont to have informed the Court, that if a Grand Jury had found one indictment against the plaintiff; another indictment had been ignored. But that would not have altered the case in the conaiueration of this Court. His Lordship I expressed in strong terms his opinion that the civil proceeding 'Mould have tominated before an indit tment had been preferred - . It had been well observed, that this rase could not be sent before an unprejudiced Jury after what had taken place. The ground upon which the Court refused a new trial, his Lordship di•tinctly stated was, that the testimony on which this motion was mode was , met on the other side by a stronger weight of evidence, and that therefore the rule must be refused. POLICE. MARY-LA-BONNE OFFICE. Yesterday Mr. Joseph Perkies, the Ex-Sherif, ap. peered on a summons before Mr. GIeFFITH, the Sitting Maps. trate, to answer why he had nut fulfilled the terms and conditions of an order of affiliation, made on him sometime during the )ear 1822, for the maintenance of a bastard child of his, chargeable to the parish of 3lary-la-bonne. It may be remembered by some of our readers, that Mr. Parkins was pointed out by a girl named Hannah White, as the father of her child, and on that recognition being made before the 31agi strates, an award of Is, per week was made upon Mr. Parkins, tor the maintenance *I the child by the parish ; against this Mr. Par kins appealed, but the order was con fir med at Inc Sessions, and the parish officers have been twice under the necessity of citing him before the Magistrates, to compel him to pay the demand. Mr. Thorpe, the assistant overseer, said his demand upon the defendant was only 51. is., for the maintenance of his child by the parish, from April to October, last year ; the above sum was due upon the order which had been confirmed at the Sessions. 31r. GRIFFITH having examined the order, asked the defendant why he had not paid it ? Mr. Parkins—Why, Mr. Magistrate, the case is this„—l have offered to pay the money, and have sent it, provided they would shew me the child. And Ido think, Sir, I have a claim, and • just one, to see this child, as very likely it may be dead, and I defrauded of my money. The Magistrate.-1 don't think that . ; but your request seems rea sonable ; I dare say you can see the child. Mr. Parkins-I'a, Sir, my demand is gentlemanly and fair; and if you give an order, I have no doubt it will be attended to. Magistrate—We do not give any such orders, but I will ask the overseer when he has seen the child. Mr. Thorpe-1 saw the infant not two hours since. Magistrate—ls it the same child that was produced here? Mr. Thorpe—lt is the same child, born in our parish, the mother being Hannah White, who has given up Mr. Parkins as the father, and which was the subject of appeal. Mr. Parkins—Well, well! 1 should like to see the child; it may not be the same that was hero formerly. I think it necessary to state I have not seen it since. . . Illagistratu—Well, Sir, you perceive the man swears to having seen the child, and that is sufficient; we have proof it is alive; and indeed this demand is only for some months during last year. You assuredly cannot want any more. Mr. Thorpe--If your Worship pleases to give an order, calling on me to produce the child, I will do so ; but I beg leave to state, I will not produce the child to the defendant without a Megistrate'a order. Mr. Parkins—Do you see this, Sir, the trick ? and as I require to see the child, give him an order to produce it. Magistrate—We cannot give any such order; you are very well aware of that. 111;.i'azki;s—Well, Sir, I must pay the money; but I really am surprised that you, sitting there, should see ore do so, without letting me hare the satisfaction I require. He then paid 81.45., and is. costs, and bowing, retired with his clerk and a young gentleman, HA'fTON-GARDEN. On Tuesday Thomas Readitsg, apprenane to Meows.

Fined to have murdered, under circumstances of ignat tto city, as stated in our yes.erday's Paper. a - Elizabeth Morris, servant - at the - S wan with Two Necks, dc - poled, that on Sunday morning last she was ill in bed, a room where a sister of another servant had slept that night—the rupee which lay by the side of her bed was saturated with blood. 14 k r nese got out of bed, and asked her what was the matter, at the same time pulling the bed clothes down. Witness then said to her. " You have miscarried," which she did not attemp t to d eny ; the bed was discoloured; she came on Friday night. only as a 'plat, but witness believes her mistress was about to employ her ut the capacity of a servant. The chambermaid came to bed about wo on Friday morning, and witness heard the stranger (Elizabeth Alert) say, " ion bring me a candle." The cantle was brought and other words passed, when Elizabeth Alert seemed anxious for her to go down stares, which she did. Witness had beard no cries ' of a child in the night, or any thing that attracted her attention. Juror--Did it not occur to you there was an infant? Witness.—lt did not; I supposed had there been an infant, it would have been in the chamber utensil. On Sunday night she went to Bristol by the " Regent," inside; on the following morn ing (Monday,) witness, Sarah Nurse, and another maid-servant, cot to clean the bed on which the woman Elizabeth Alert had slept ; Sarah Nurse then said..." Feel, there is something in die lied ;" witness said, " Nonsense :" None said there was, and w i t . nese took a pair of scissors and cut the ticking, put her hand among the feathers, and, to her utter, astonishment, took out the child—after which she laid it in a cloth, er r : l l6i it where the j urem , now perceived it; witness was too much f . te nd to look if there I were any marks of violence on the child at t time. Sarah Stiles, another servant at the Swan with Two Necks, de. posed that she slept in the same bed with Elizabeth Alat, ea Si.. turday night, and went to bed about twelve o'clock. Meet was Ithen sitting up in the bed, and said she had the head.ach. Witness than went to bed—Alert asked her to leave a lighted candle, which witness did. Alert was restless in the night, and axe awoke wit. I nests, who asked if she could do any thing for her, and was answer. ed in the negative. %%Imes& knows Alert went out of bed once in the night—but nothing struck witness in particular: Whams got up the next morning, and left Alert in bed. The following eight witness slept in the bed alone. and said to her fellow-servant time was something in the bed ; she could oat bear to touch nor meld she lie near it. The last witness au open the ticking, and took out a child which so flurried witness that she tan down stairs. - Juror—When the bed was opened did nothing pees about a dead cat ? Witness—Yes ; the sister*: Elisabeth Alert said, "Oh! Olt a dead eat." The last witness said "N.z, it is a child." Witaas saili that blood a pp eased on the bed where they had slept. Juror—Did your make no inquiry on seeing that? No. I contemplated a miscarriage. Sarah Arlot, another servant, and sister to Elizabeth, deposed... She generally went by the name of Alert, but her proper note was Arlon; her sister came to this tavern on Friday night, to take ths sibiatios of house-maid. Witness's fellomaervant taxed ha es Saturday with being in the " family sway," which she denied witness also taxed her, and she denied it. On Saturday night the went to bed between eight and nine o'clock, and witness at twelve; nothing transpired in the interim, nor was witness slimed by say thing in the night. Witness got up nest morning at seven e'dodt, and there saw nothing uncommon to attract her attendee; POW xime after she went to her bed-room again, and then saw sow blood on her sister's bedside carpet, which witness showed to her fellow.aernuit, who got out of bed, and said witness's sister tad miscarried, to which she made no reply.
