Thut octants was brought by the P11;ni;11'. a re. spectable getitlemon, residing at Primmer Mei Ass se. cover a compensation iii damages from thi Defe o . dome, who are proprietors, of the Mitcham coach, for an injury received by him in rouse/Insure of the furious driving of die Defendstite coachman. The Plaintiff was returning to town in the evetung the 4lst of February lost, in a one-horse chaise, with his wife and grandchild, and hod arrived omit the foot of Londost.bridge, when he perceived two ►tage-cosehea, each with four horses, coming al.stig so furiously over the bridge, that apprehending danger, he drew tip close to the curb-stone : the first couch tressed with great rapitliLy without doing hum any injury, but the second, which was the coda of the Defendants, struck the wheel of the Plaintiff's gig, and overturned it ; the horse yeti also thrown down, and the shafts breaking, he be. came frightened, said on rising, ran sway to the middle of Loudon-bridge, and there fell and broke his bock bone. The Plaintiff, his wife, and grand child, were thrown out, and the Plointill was con. siderably injured ; the two latter escaped with coin. parstivrly little &usage. He (Mr. Scarlelt) under. stood the defence meant to he art up was, that this damage was not done by the Defendants' coach ; but on this point he had ►uch evidence to produce, that he thought no doubt would remain aim the minds of the Jury. The Learned Counsel then called— John Watts Cooper, who stated that in the even ing of 21st February last I was on the Borough side of London Bridge about seven o'clock ; I saw two coaches driving furiously from the Bridge towards the Borough ; I saw a one-horse chaise pulled up close to the curb-stone near a public house; I sow the second coach ran against the chaise, and throw the horse down; he struggled, broke the ►hafts, and ran away ; the gentleman, the lady, and child were thrown tutu the carriage road; I assisted the gentleman up; he was bleeding pro fusely et the nose, and complained mach of hia shoulder. Captain Crowther, of the East India Company's service. observed the two coaches driving at a filflOUS rate; I watched them, suspecting they could not stop themselves, and immediately sew a horse with part of the harness running up the bridge. The last couch was a red-bodied coach. William Gardner was at the foot of London bridge on the evening of the accident. The first was the Wandsworth coach, and the lust was the Mitcham coach. They were driving very furiously. The colour of the coach was red. Samuel Daniels was talkiug with the lest whiten et the foot of London bridge. The last coach was a red-bodied couch, and had the mime of Holden just under the window. Hi stiettlit coach strike the chaise, and was quite positive that was the coach that did the injury. William Peerse saw the two coaches start from Gracechurch-street. The Wandsworth coach took the lead ; it was ■ few minutes past seven o'clock, and was sure the last coach was the Defendants. Mr. Brookes, surgeon. proved the injury the Plaintiff had received. He had ■ severe cut over the rye; his shoulder muck bruised; and three of • his ribs also much bruised. Witness attended him • for a month; he was confined to his bed ten days or a fortnight. His bill was six guineas. The Plaintiff ta a men advanced in life. shout Go years • of age. He will perhaps never quite recover the use of it. Mr. GURNRY, for the Defendants, thought he had • body of evidence to produce which would completely alter the case which the Jury had heard, and which could .not be encountered by the evi. dente for the Plaintiff. He would bring all the passengers, both inside and oat, who would tell the Jury that ten end. accident bapp•ued by the Defendants' coach, but that they braid the crash after the couch had passed. The Learned Counsel then called Peter Faro, who stated, that lie was a passenger with his wife in the dicky behind, iii the Mitcham coach. It starred at the nos of about But wiles an hone. When the coach had passed brink° b►idge he heard a crash shoot 20 yards behind, and saw that a ehai-e had broken down close by an errand cart. B•fore that he had not felt the slightest runt ion as if any thing had hers toss against. Cross-examined by Mr. SC ARL FTT.--When he looked back he saw an coach bet I.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICR Mkt that from his evidence alone he should have concluded that the Defendants' coach had doom the mischief; he had no doubt these witnesses meant to speak the truth. and not observing the accident, and not feeling say shock, they thought it had not been dour by that coach ; but loe put it to Mr. Gurney whether he was Dot proving the same thing which the Plain tiff's witnesses had hero proving. The Joey concurring in the opinion of his Lord. ►hip, immediately found a verdict for the Plaintiff —DJulages 2001.. coals 40r. RICHARDSON r. WOOLF'. Mr. SCARLET!' said the PI 1r in this M. Wl§ respectable woollen-drape►, residing. on Ludira.e. hill, and sought by this action to recover too/. which the Defendant had received to his use, under circumstances rather e:traordins►y. The Plaintiff, in March lust, hid sent a servant boy, named Biggs, to Mr. Sterry, in Basinghall.street, for 640/., in that sum ws. a 1001. note. Biggs, by means of his brother, made away with that note, for which rob. hely he and his brother were tried and convicted, From the evidence of a 'Pupae who was concerned, it would appear that the Defendant had purchased the note fu► 51t1. tie should confirm her testimony by such other evidence as would leave the Jury in no doubt that .hie client was entitled to recover.

On the Pith March George Watts and I went and saw Mr. Woolf at the Rose. mare Branch to change a 1001. note. Watts told me tonal' 801. for the 1001. I asked Woolf for 801. and Watts whispered to him. There was a red mark on the note.—[The !tote was shewn to wit. ness.)—That is the note. Woolf, after Watts had whispered him, said it was • Batik post bill, and I had better take 501., as hr iihsuld not get rid of it for a lung time. He asked me how 1 got it, and I told him I was an unfortunate girl, and got the note from a geutleinan in the City. He asked me if I hail any more, but I told him I had but that one. He told me if I did not like to have SOL I should have none. He left me then at the public 'wipe for three quarters of an hour, and brought back fifty sovereigns, and told me if I had any thing else to let him have it. He told George Watts if he would call upon him he would give him a new jacket that evenin g. I received the note from Richard Biggs, ou the Gth March, at Lambeth street office. Cron-examined by the COMMON SoaaJtant.— The Rosemary Branch is opposite the Defendant's holm. We went into a little room in the public honer, sod had tome bread and cheese, and some wine and water; I gave Richard Biggs all the fifty sovereigns. I now live with my mother. I first told this story after Richard Biggs was committed so Nervgate, to Ms. Richardson ; I lived with Richard Boggs as man and wife. I was io Mr. Richardson'. Morse about a week after I told him about this. By the Juncia.—lt appeared to me that Woolf knew Watts before the interview 1 had with him. Job,, Forrester, City Officer—l went to summons Mr. Woolf to attend at the Mansion•house. I held the summons in my !mid. and said 64 Woolf here is a summons for yoo ; I Nippon you know all oboist it." He said. G‘ I suppose its about the 1001. note." I said " Yes." He afterwards said he knew nothing about it. Marchatit. another City officer, who went with Forrester, confirmed Ins testimony. Mr. Denman, for the Defendant, thought the Jury would toot think much of the evidence which they had heard. Some suspicion might attach to the Defendant, from the conversation which the officers spoke to; but when they recollected there had been a trial at the Old Bailey, and an examina tion at the Mansion-house, which was inse►ted in the newspapers, nothing was more natural than the Defendant should say—" I suppose it is about the 1001. note. The Learned Counsel then ad. verted to the danger of giving credit to a witness of the desc►iption of Jane Sonsertield, who came without any corroboration to her evidence; though undoubtedly the Landlady of the Rosemary Branch, who served the refreshment to her and Watts, might have been called. The Jary, he was assured, would not give a verdict on such testiu►ouy against the Defendant. The LORD Cut ii JUSTICE. in summing up the evidence, observed, that the account which the tentless Satterfield gave was not of such a nature us to entitle her to implicit credit; but it was for the Jury to say whether they could believe that account it' the absence of every circumstance on the part of the Defeudaot to 'hew how he became pouwwied of the oote.

INHUMAN ATROCITY.—A few days ago a voting WOlllllll frOlding in Sunny-brae, parish of Saline, had an illegitimate child, and in order to avoid the shame winch an exposure of her situation might have drawn upon her, barbarously murdered the • ocent infant in • manner at which human nature shudders. The unhappy mother lived under the same roof with an old woman, whose apartment was separated only by a thin partition, on whom she call ed to come and make her a warm drink, but pro hibited her from preparing it at the fire of the room they were in, saying that she had just heaped on a large tire to warm the house, which she was unwil ling to have touched or broken down. The old wo man was surprised on finding a vary disagreeable smell issuing from the fire. and, after repeatedly interrogating the sick female, without obtaining soy satisfactory answer, turned up the coals, and, to her unspeakable horror, found in the midst of them the half•consuroed remains of the hapltu victim of the unnatural parent's inhumanity. There being no assistance near, the wretched infanticide made her escape nest morning, and was seen in Dunferm line on the evening of that day, the report of her crime not having then spread so far. Every exertion has been made to discover her, but as yet without success. Her parents ore alive and respectable.— (Stirling Journal.) OLD BAILEY, NioNDAY, OttosEa 48.

Re-examined in chief.—lle *steer purchased any spoons from those uersona. r • John George Stephens purchased Noe . better ladles from the Prisoner in the early part or Decent bee 1840; he had paid the Prisoner file 'the duty upon all those articles; of them he had sold some in the course of his business, and others he Dow pro.. duced ; they had the letieis H.

Crnas.examined by Mr. PHILLIPS-11e had a running account with the Prisoner ; he was Some times absent from his shop, which, upon'these•oc cosmos, was left to the charge of • very yoliWg boy. The goods which he now produced had never beitt out of his shop since purchased ; he never upon any occasion pawned any part of his stuck, nor had he ever scud that he poichmed four spoons froth the Prisoner, and then said he was mistaken ; lie had never within the last twee yeast; offered to re turn any plate to the Prisoner. George Myles, inspector of stamps et Gold smith: Hall, knew the Prisoner to Le a working silversmith ; he described use way in which the stamps are put upon the plate at the Hell ; whet, brought for that purpot.e it always has upon it the initials of the maker.
