• Wednesday Mr: Chivers came to me and made usc of some bad words, and said 'I had spoilt his vine, and' that I did not khow my business. He added, -that I must g - e(rnyself a place on Saturday night, as he world not let rue be there any , longer. I inunedi ately replied, 'you-old rascal, how could you take ire away-from: so good a place as that I had, and now discharge me at a day'S notice ?' There was nothing further passed that day, but 012 Thursd6y I SaW the maid and asked what was' the reason - I had not seen my'ma4er. ' I did the same on Friday. On Saturday my arlaster came down the garden to me, aad used - a -very bad N(ord. MY,master shook at the same time his wh.angee over Mc.' He did this several times. • I then' stepped back with my spade—l rushed Upon him, and tsrtick hint upon the upper lip. The second brow tot& him •at the top of the nose,. and down he fell.' The • Witness again asked hoW he came to commit so horrid an ata;and Pri soner replied, that he had - it in his mind from:four o'clock on Wednesday." • The evidence of James Collingworth, and James Dixon, gardener to Mr. Thornton, 'closing the case on the part of the. Prosecution, the CHIEF BARON . enquired of the Prisoner, if he had any thing to say in his defence; when he expressed himself in the following terms, in a firm and distina manner, : The Pris Oner :—"I beg leave - to assure your Lord, - . ship, that I never bore Mr. Chivers - any malice what . ewer. 'On Saturday morning I had been employed in digging some ground, and witlirrty Spade in my hand wept to the green-housP td give it 'some air; and. there I Wt . , my spade. f thenwent for Some refresh ' ment, ateieven o'clock in the Morning, as waSusual; •and on going into the kitchen I saw the footnan, of whom I ssked -how long it' as sinceMi - ..Chivers went out.' I then went into the garden; end to the green-llouse, - intowhichl let inalittletixne air. I then went with msr spade in.MY hand and looked at a vine. I saw Mr.•Chivers, told him that I had finished- illy digging, and, said, I was'sortif to_have left so good - a place, .and now to' be turned' off. A few words passed between Cliivers and me; and the. last expressidn he used when I had the spade. in my hand, You scoundrel, I will break your skUll.' He shook his cane-over me ; he Made an attempt to strike me, when I, turning aside, escaped ; he again endeavoured to strike me, and I avoided the blow. After this, hp followed me up with his cane, And I then had, 'as I befOrd said; a spade in my hand. I raised the spade s . and to my. surprise, it struck him. Immediately afterwards, I went into the greetFhouse, with the. full intention of taking away - my own life, but-I had not sutfiCient courage to do - it. I then Went into • the kitchen, , and caJled Henry, . who said, " What is the' matter ?" and I replied, " Good Lord ! I have`struck my master, and he' fell." I then went out towaras Clapham, and the first persons I saw were a butler and a gardener. - went to the garden of Mr.' Robert Thornton, and -asked'for Mr. Dixon, who is one of the gardeners'. They said he was cutting a - vine, but they went , to him, , and Mr. Dixon sent me word that I might come to him. I asked if anybody was with him, and they said " Yes." I then desired tospeak to him alone, -and Mr. Dixon inquired if I had any thing particular to mention, and I told him Yes.' The first words I said were, I have ruined myself.' He inquired' What is the matter ?' I said lam afraid I have killed my master.' He then said it was , a 'dreadful thing, and that I had better ao back and resign myself into the hands of justice. Upon this I observed to - hins, that if I shouldhe exe cuted, I should beglad if he would tvrite to Scotland, and inform my friends there that I had died sudden- ' ly. He said that he would, and I then came back to wards Mr.Chivers's house, and my heart failed me. I turned again, but I had not gone far before I met a man, who said to me, Are you Mr. Chivers's gar- - dener ?' He then -told me I must go with' him; and I replied, with all my heart. He said that this was • a very dreadful thing, and added that he was very sorry for me ; to which I answered, (' I am sorry also, burl 'am:afraid that it is too late.' • After this I was taken to Wandsworth, ,where 'I underwent an examination. • "'was then committed to Horse- Monger-lane ; and from thence I.have been brought here to take my trial." The witnesses for the Prisoner were then called. Charles Graham, , Gardener to Mrs. Davenport, 'den posed that he knew the Prisoner since May last:; that after Mr. Chivers had hired Duncan he sent. to the Witness to enquire how the' Prisoner. had behaved: . himself. The Witness never saw any thing but,that he Was a sober,: quiet, excellent young man.' Miss Elizabeth Rdrnett said, that she had long known this young man that he was 'servant in her brother's faMily. No' man ever 'bore abetter Cha , - raeter : hegained the good Will' of every ,one by his excellent condua. He had heen England since September 1i304. - ThiS Lady delivered her evidence with great energy, and under the most affhaing di - tress of mind, from seeing' thee Present situation of the Prisoner. The CHIEF BARotsi, after stating the nature of the Incliain . ent, said', that ale Prisoner. was, accused of hay . - ins muidered his thastee. He had giVen a detailed. account of the transactions referred to in ILeevidedce, and the Jury, .would recolleA,,tht in considerinihi . s, narrative it was fair to alloW what he said in his awn favour,, as well as What hesaid aaainst himself: The question was thiS : If Were was previous design in. the breast - of the Prism* to perktrate the, crime of murder ; or if, being thfeatened; provoko, or .19s- . satilted, he did this a& frOm pa4on of the mo-, nient ? In the. latter f.iase the crime in law was • ex trcmely ditneeni froni that Of - Wilful ma.,:der.• It was not' east to Si.ppose that, there shoidd'sbe such a dia bolical design formed in so short a space oftirne,....,' His:Lordship-here entered into a zenoral.review' of the fans ixt evidence, and theft concluded "By the witnesses who have appeared on.the part oldie Prisoner, he seems to be, , in their,judgmenty a very moral young man. You are to judge if' you think it was a deliberate intention, * or l.f it were the ebul lition of anger at the instant, under the circum stances of provocation stated. If the design sprung up on Wednesday which was executed on'Saturday, the offence..wili be. murder; but :if it were not pre viously form&l, then there was no execution of such a deliberate intention ; and he will be acquitted of the capitzl part of the charge.!' , The Jury, after• having conferred for a considerable tiJoe, fonnd the Prisoner Guilty' (ye Alurder, and he wa's ordered for execution.. on Thursday next.

John ifttgust:;s, a Negro, was inditled on a charge of the wilful murder -of one Peter Williams, I:iie a seaman on hoard the Corn-Plainer, lying off ter mondsey, in the River Thames. • • Mr. Laves for the Prosecution; stated the general fats of the Case, and then called the -\Nrittlesses., JOhn Maxwell said, that ou thel Bth ofJannary last, the Corn Planter was lying on the Surry side ol.the River, that the Prisoner found sours dirt or nuisance ih his bed, (gr.d that on that account some ,quarrel arose bet Ween him and the deceased. -The Prisoner held Peter Williams rOuntLthe middle, when the latter had- the fife-rail in his hand. - An iron spike , was dropped, and there Was a scuff between them, on 'which the witness came up to-see what was the mat ter. The witness-afterwards' saw the Prisoner raise the deceased above thefife rail', and-pitch him over bc;rd, between the Corn-planter and the next ship, saying at the same time, " there, you b r, go overboard." Richard. Marston.; a &hertnan, said, that he pick- - ed . up the . body the neat morning, between 7 and 8 o'clock. Matthew Taylor, a witness for the Prisoner, said that 'he was a man ofa remarkably mild disposition: ,The Curti , BARON, in summing up the evidence, observed, that - the. Prisoner at the •bar %Vas indicted •for murder, and that no doubt-could:be entertain ed respeajng the. .faa of his having occasioned the death of Peter-Williams., In order to make it a clear case Of rmirder, - there must have - been no'scilf-- flingarld'fighting : but here there was a contest' be , : tween the .Prisdner.and the deceased, 'arid it was possible for the Jury to say who was the •aggressor: 'Under' these circumstances-it would'be riOt .that the Prisoner should — be acquitted as to' the murder, and that he should be'found guiltt -of,manshiughters . - • The Verdictwas-atcoi - dingly; given—Guiity . rf Manslaughter. • • CIVI L SIDE; BEFORE MR. JUSTICE HEATH. MASTERS V. REYNOLDS. AND OTHERS. This was an action of assault and 'false impri sonment. Mr. Serjeant BEST stated. the circumstances of the case, which:were as follow :—The Plaintiff Was a fruit -meter, under the City of London ; and the' Defendants were the -Overseers; the Beadle, and other Officers of the Parish of St. George the--Mar tyr, in the Borough. The Defendant was charged with having gotten a girl with child, which was likely to become chargeable to the Parish, and the Magistrates at Union-Hall. had, in. consequence,' granted- their warrant for the apprehending • the -Plaintiff, which was put into the hands of the De-. fondants to be .executed.. They accordingly, know ing the Plaintiff, took an opportnnity, when lie was ' going to the Circus one evening, in tr3Elober, - to ap prehend him. ' But they did this in a rude and vio- - • lent manner, seizing him by the collar, and dragging him from, the company of an old Lady whoM he was escorting to the Circt:ts. The Learned Serjeant observed, that although their conduct here was not such as it:ought to have been, yet that did not fur nish the cause of the present anon. But what ,h c complained of was, that when. they had thus .appre. headed him, they did not •immediafely carry bins before a Magistrate, which 'they ought to have done, but they kept him twenty-four hours in custody, in order to extort from him the sum of 701. which they pretended was necessary to indeamtfY the Parish. He-added; that when a person ,was arrested under a charge of this sort, there were but two re gular modes of proceeding ;, the one was to - take • a bond of indemnity'for the Parish, or to go befor e . a 'Magistrate, who would take a recognizance from the Defendant to appear at the Sessions, and abide such order as the Justices should then -.make ; and . that it was wholly irregular, and had often been'repro bated by Judges, that a Parislyshould take a - gross sum, in their own discretion, for an indemnity.—. He trusted the .Jury, when they had heard the fads 'substantiated in evidence, would think this 'a case of serious oppression, and give damages Cc: . cordingly. • , _ . . . :Mr. Serjeant, -and. another Gentleman, frie,nds of. the Plaintiff, proved, that. when thq Plaintiff was in custody, they offered to ' becoine bail for his appear ance.; they applied to the, Overseer ; but he sa id he did not knoW them, and would not accept their bail. Mr. Serjeant.tpld ~ him, that he was a housekeeper, and ; lived and:paid : rates in the, r arish for five years, and that the young man' in custody was a principal' most seriousan d his injury fruit4eter under the City of London, ,detained in custod would be of m to film, The Defendants were, however, inflexib le: TheY also 'applltd to another of' the Parish OfFi6ers, wSo was at a feast in'Wesisquare ; but he said he could not sufferthe fiarinon'y of a Parish Dinner 'to be spoiled 'by their intrusion. Other Persons were then offered as bail, but they - were also refused, and notltingWould be accepted but . the depOsit of a sum of money, which they fixed at tfol. The Plaintiff not being able to produce this sum, 'was' kept in a lock:up house all that night,- and until the nest' evening, although . therivere within a fe w yar d s of the Pnblic-Office; in Union-street, where they might have carried the Plaintiff immediately upon his apprehension.. Mr. Serjeant :SHEP,IIERD; for the Defendants, made a very ingenious address to the Jury, in which he represented• the conduet 'of them as indulgent to the Plaintiff, in not causing him to be publicly ex.: - posed at a Pub4-office, • which to, have fUr nished 'a. paragraph for all :the Newspapers,, and', blazoned this fault through the whole town. • They' kept him . in private custody,' when he might .have compromised with the ' Parish, and his reputation • not' halie been injured. . . The Learned Judge,.in summing up, reprobated . .the conduft 'of the Parish in taking a gross suni for_ the support of these illegitiMate children, by Aid' their lives *ere Without proteolion i for it became the interest of the Parish, when the fine'Was paid, that they should die, and be no more cxpence to them: With reipeet to the case itself, the Plaintiff was clearly entitled to a verdid ; and the only ques- Ition was the:measure of the damage's'. He thought tlie". w o iduti of the Defendants 'had been tyrannical, and they uld give the fit recompenee.- Verdict for the Plaintiff- - Damages 501. .~rvrthEß. " Ar.::7LA:CfCAPELLT, .FEB. 2. The court of Cri minal Justice of the Department of the Roer con 7 demned to death, on the 24th of last month, Gerard OptenhoW, jun. found guilty of the murder of Eliza beth Nt.lien, his cousin gertnan, and acing as ser vant in his father's house. The following are the particulars of this horrible event : fo Elisabeth Nellen, 17. years. of age, was: extremely handsome, and had all that freshness of complexion so often seen in a country . girl ; • she. was remarked for the tenderness of her lookS; and a gaiety which never forsook her added an inexpressible charm to the other gifts she enjoyed from nature. The young Optenhotf-Saw and loved her; he seduced and pro mised' to marry_ her: Two months after this event, Blizabeth 'Neikirk tol&him she thought she was with child, and:intreated him to remember his promise; under the apprehension that . . be might marry the. daughter of a rich farmer, whom her lover had lately Courted. _Qptenhoff told her not to be alarmed, that, he would keep his promise, and. fixed the day. for the sight of both, in. order, he -said, to oblige, his father to consent to their Elitabeth, over-_ powered with joy; laid- open , to her sister• and brother-,in-law the prospea .of the happiness which awaited her. At ten at night, she left her father's house. :Let 'es now hear the recital of the guilty wretch,, who confessed ,every thing after his con-. demnation, He stated that he had agreed to meet, her in a rye-field, in which were-found the rope and stick he made use of to accomplish his infernal pur '4ose.. He had .also provided himself, previous "his going thither, - with a. bottle of brandy, the, half of'which he made the unfortunate Nellen drink, in 'order to intoxicate her. The _monster haying suc ceeded in his design, continued to make her drink until she lost her senses; then it was he 'consum mated-his atrocious scheme. - He put the rope round 'her neck, and then tying a knot, placed' his stick in it, and twisted it tight until he had strangled her. _She expired without a Single shriek or groan. After. a'quarter of an hour•had passed oVer, persuaded she was quite dead, he carried her on his shoulders,- . and threw her into a draining well, where she was found the following morning. This done,.the Mon- 7 ster returned to his father's house; and went to bed with great composure, at least,. he said so, beCause he thought-hiMself seeure.from diseovery.- • May women," said the President of the Court ' , in recapitulating the evidence, " may women take warning ,froM• the terrible . ' leSSon presented., by..the credulity and end of .the: young Nellen I and , May,. the Monsters Who are tempted: to. walk in the steps of Gerard Optenhotf, know, that Alrniglity.
