I.llcfn a., disorderly as the Irish, to say nothing of tugal, which appears to us to be not 6 , 4 .Ve boorishness of our own peasantry.—lbid. only erroneous, but highly illiberal and tin- If any thing can show the necessity of a pu blic prosecutor, it is the _Finchley case of poisoning. That case is only clear in two points—namely, that the life of a human being has been sacrificed by the substitution of a de leterious drug for a medicine ; and that it is not one of the cases in which the ignorance or neg ligence of the compounder of a prescription has occasioned the melancholy result. All the rest is involved in deep obscurity. As to the hand by which the poison was substitut e d f or th e wholesome medicine, after it had left the shop of the apothecary, and the time and manner in s..hich it was done, nothing is known. In the tneen tnoe, the parties who taught to be most in tersested in the inquiry, either on. account of their winection with the deceased or their public si tuation, iteetsead of being emulous to rival each *:"Oirci; fq their assiduity to procure evidence, and i4eetiecute the matter to some satisfactory con clusion, appear only desirous to shift the duty of turther investigation from one to another. This culpable apathy on the part of those who ought to require no incitement but the claims of kin dred, or a sense of •the duties of humanity, to make them anxious to search and probe this matter to the utmost, is peculiarly unfortunate at the present time, when that most cowardly, secret anti malignant crime of assassination by pois on has increased in this country beyond all former example. If, indeed, by any possibility, the un timely death of the ill-fated Mrs. Phillips could have been the result of accident, it were %yell if the public mind were disabused of the fearful impression that she has fallen the victim of some iabolieal contrivance.. Almost every day some thing appears in the public Papers relative to what is the " mysterious death of Mrs. Pha;ips." To preserve the mystery of a romance Is very well, and a skilful writer of novels will not too soon let his readers into the secret of the attractive horrors by which he stimulates the ima gination ; but mysteries in real life arc not de sirable—and, above all things, justice should know nothing of mystery. The death of Mrs. Phillips, however mysterious it may be described to have been, was not brought about by super !:atural means; hut the real cause must always be involved in darkness, as that of Sir Theodo sius Boughton was, until a regular inquiry be in stituted, and prosecuted with similar zeal and in telligence to that which dissipated the " mystery" of his fate, and tracked the criminal through all the mates of his crafty guilt into the hands of There are three parties whose duty it is to investigate the cause of the death of Mrs. Phillips to the utmost. In the first place the husband, who is bound by relationship, by affec tion, and by the feelings most dear to the human 14eart, to ascertain the cause of his sudden and tieplorable bereavement. Whether he lived with his wife on those terms of mutual kindliness, coustaniy, and doniestic peace, which rendered the teerriage state peculiarly happy, and the loss such a woman an affliction that steeps the bean in wretchedness, anti deprives a sensitive disposition, for a time, of the natural energy of action, we know not—a sudden calamity is apt. to paral)ze the mind fora time, particularly where the tenderest ties are torn asunder ; and we understand that the parties had been married but five Months, and that Mrs. Phillips w as a lady every way capable of making a husband fondly attached to tier. He must feel, however, that the best proof of affection he can now give is to satisfy his own mind, and that of the public, by riid and persevering exerticn, whether she came to her untimely death by accident, or whe ther time fell the victim of a meditated blow. We should like to know whether he has yet made every possible effort to ascertain, among the do mestics and servants, how the phial of medicine sent from Mr. Snow's was converted into a deadly poison—also whether he has been able to discover if any person in the house or neigh bourhood, having access to where the medicine eras deposited, bore malice towards the deceased. The second party are the executors to the will, who should co-operate with the husband in the inquiry, if he be willing to exert himself in the discharge of so sacred a duty ; and, if he be not, they should proceed without him. The third party are the parochial authorities. If the rela- uts:tice. tions or executors are slow to inquire into this affair, they have a public duty to fulfil. They owe it public justice and their country not to allow this matter to remain where it does at present. Mr. Snow, the respectable surgeon of Highgate, has done enough to show that the poison of which the unfortunate lady died did Dot find its way into the medicine by the act or mistake of any person in his establishment. The parish authorities make the dread of incurring expence a plea for not instituting any proceed logs. Whenever an excuse for a good feast is to be had at the expence of the parish funds, we never hear the parochial authorities complain of the Cost. But, perhaps, the " Vestry Lords" of Finchley may be more abstemious than their metropolitan brethren. However this may be, we think their caution about expence in a case of this nature is rather ill-timed. It is certain that if they proceed with the inquiry, and have grounds elentually to prosecute some person or persons, the Court can and will allow their ex pellees from the county. Among all parties, however, there is so much remissness or vacil lation, that we fear a failure of justice. This state of things could not occur if there were a public prosecutor—it would be his defined and imperative duty to inquire and collect evidence in such a case—to commit, if there were grounds for so doing, any person whom the evidence strongly pointed at as the perpetrator, and to fidlow up the committal of him or her by a bill to the Grand Jury—that so all which the law could do might be done to remove suspicion from the innocent—and to bring home convic tion to the guilty. We hope that, under the peculiar eirctunstances.of the case, the Secretary for Oe flume Department will consider it his duty to interfere, and have such an inquiry insti tuted. as will ascertain whether the " mysterious death" was accidental; and, if not, may relieve the land from the stain of unexpiated crime.-- Morning Herald. We are not about to propose the example of the Pope as an authority that ought to weigh an , J thing in determining the future policy of the other European Governments, or especially of England, towards Portugal. It cannot, how ever be doubted, that the recognition of the Sovereign Pontiff of the actual Monarch of that eminently Popish nation, will contribute much to the consolidation, and affords a powerful gua rantee of the permanency of his regal sway ; or that it thu s b ecomes one c i rcumstance of great importance among the many, by a combination of.,,vhieh the conduct of Great Britain, and that of every other State ought to be decided. Some of the Journals which boast most loudly of their liberality, have,.,recently advanced an opinion 'Oil the subject - of our relations with Kr gerous, and we avail ourselves of the pre sent opportunity to notice and correct it. The Journals to which we allude admit that a great majority of the Portuguese people, of the upper as well as inferior classes, are decidedly and un changeably attached to the existing Government, and that this circumstance, if its effect were not qualified by another, would justify and require the acknowledgment by England of an authority so supported. But, say they, there are a con siderable number of persons in Portugal, chiefly belonging to the middle class of who adhere steadfastly to the Brazilian party, or, as it is called, to the cause of the Constitution. That the latter constitute a small minority of the whole nation is not denied ; but a claim to greater consideration is set up in their behalf upon the assumption that they are more intelli gent and enlightened than the great mass of - their fellow-countrymen. Hence it is pretended a difficulty arises. If the support of a decided majority of his own subjects could entitle Don Miguel to the acknowledgment of Foreign Powers, that title he would have undeniably ; but the recognition ought, it seems, to he withheld until each Foreign Government has, for itself, ex amined and decided in what precise proportions ietellectual endowments and cultivation are vi sible among different classes of the people of Por tugal, and has further determined upon the adop tion of certain rules, by which (in imitation we suppose of the greater number of votes allowed in our parish vestries to the inhabitants who pay the greater amount of direct taxes ) certain speci fied measures of intellect and attainment arc to tell, in the comparison and adjustment of political value. We have heard of the Schoolmaster being abroad, but to give ef fect to this new discovery in political sci ence, it would be necessary that a whole army of schoolmasters should be sent abroad; and however we may admire the genius and talent which must have been employed in forming and bringing to light the sublime conception, we fear the affairs of mankind . must continue to be guided by principles of which the application is more simple and easy. That Don Miguel is firmly seated on the throne of Portugal, and that the interests of England forbid the political inter course between the two Governments should be indefinitely suspended, is quite enough for us to know. As to the comparative number of pre tensions of the learned men and philosophers who respectively adhere to one or other of the parties in Portugal, it is a question with we have very little indeed to do—a question which it would be the wildest insanity to attempt to decided— a question with respect to which, if the British Government were even to inquire, it would be an interference with the domestic 1 affairs of Portugal, more minute and vexatious, more insolent and unjust, than has ever yet I been practised by one nation towards another. Nothing can be more plain, indeed, than that the assumption of superior intelligence on behalf of the Brazilian party is wholly confounded, and that the advocates in England of that defeated. party have adopted it merely that they may not seem destitute of any thing to offer as a compen sation for its hopeless inferiority in number, in spirit, and in power, which they are com pelled to admit. It will scarcely be de nied that justice and consistency are the genuine symptoms and the natural accompa niments of high intelligence. Have the Brazi lian party exhibited these ? Ask the holders of Portuguese bonds, and they will answer that they have been shamefully defrauded by the leaders of this, party, with the general applause of its followers. Ask the Legislature of Brazil, and it will reply that the authors and adherents of a free Portuguese Constitution have flagrantly violated the free Constitution of Brazil ; that they have illegally and dishonestly appropriated to one purpose, funds destined by the Legisla ture, in virtue of its constitutional rights, to another ; that they have stained the public faith and impaired the national credit of Brazil, fur the advancement of a desperate project of their own, which the Brazilian Legislature and people never approved, and never consented, nor ever will consent, to promote at the expense of a single dollar.--Morning Post. Mr. O'Connell, it would appear, is not yet tired of agitation. The passing of the Catholic Bill, by cutting off a great source of grievance to the people of Ireland, also deprived him of a great source of influence ; and so wearied is he with the absence of excitement, and the absence of the vulgAr applause which greeted his ears once a fortnight in the Dublin Association, that he has, if the Irish papers may be relied on, seri ously set his wits to work to excite fresh agita tion, and procure for himself fresh applause, by mooting points, which we think at this time of day no frtend of his country would even dream of mentioning—the repeal of the Union, and the establishment of a resident Parliament in Ireland. On the Ist instant, says the Dublin Evening Packet, Mr. O'Connell thundered forth the following, at Youghal : Ireland alone, of all nations of the earth, has achieved a bloodless revolution. In 1782 she stood up in the majesty of national power. Is there no other 1782 ? It is a truth g rown into a proverb, that what has been once clone, may be again effected—lreland i s too good to be a province, and. she must and shall again have her resident Parliament. I have heard named the union between England, Scot land, and Ireland ; but such union only tends to the degradation 9f the entire. Nor can Ireland hope for such happiness until she is' again a nation—wail she has again within her bosom a domestic Legislature." If such really be the case, we will venture to assure Mr. O'Con nell that Ireland never will be happy. If the people of that country have not sense enough to perceive the benefits which they derive from a union with England and Scotland, the people of the latter countries have wit enough to ace that that union is for the interest of all ; and we need not add, that if such be their opinion, they will make it good. Mr. O'Connell, in fact, deceives himself egregiously, in thinking that he can find a fool in Ireland for every foolish scheme that finds a habitation in his brains. The people know better. They followed him whither soever lie chose to lead them, before the Catho lic Emancipation Bill was passed ; but then they were denied their just rights, and a sense of their degradation would have induced them to foillow any other who might have set up as the apostle of freedom. The case is now altered— and Mr. O'Connell will find his appeals in favour of further agitation received with as much coldness as they formerly were with fervour and acclamation.--Morning Advertiser. It will lie seen from another part of our Paper that the Governors of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum have, with the approbation of his Royal Highness the Duke of ,Sussex, agreed with the Proprietors of Covent-garden Theatre, for a be nett in behalf of the Institution, on the 10th of next month. The state of the funds of the In stitution—the benevolent purposes to which it is devoted—zmd the number of decayed Licensed Victuallers who were unsuccessful at the last election, and who must remain unsuccessful for some time, unless the funds are recruited by further donations, imperatively call upon their brethren in the Metropolis to come forward in their behalf with the same liberality which has distinguished them on all former occasions ; and we know too well the generous sympathy by which the Licensed Victuallers of the Metropo• lis are animated, to doubt for a moment that the proposed benefit will be a bumper, and leave the funds of the noble Institution to which its pro ceeds are to be devoted, in a flattering and flou rishing condition.—lbid. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS COURT, Nov. 9. The MASTER of the Rous commenced his Tam Sittings this day at Wes'mitister. WAGSTAFF V. BRYAN. In this case a bill was filed so far back as 1792, for the purpose of carrying into effect the trusts of a will. The cause was prosecuted to a decree pro nounced many years ago. Four bills of revivorlidee been filed by the plaintiff at various times—the last about 12 months since. It contained matter which gave it the character of a supplemental bill as well as of a bill of revivor. To this the defendant put in his answer, consisting of nearly 100 folios, and containing statements very different from those usually found in such documents, which are, for the most part, extremely short and simple. The au swer was referred to a Master for impertinence,-who reported that it was not impertinent. The cause now came on in the shape of exceptions to that report. Mr. RICHARDS appeared for the plaintiff, and ar gued against the report. Mr. KINDERSLEY was heard contra. His HONOUR directed that the hill of reviver should be amended by striking out the fundamental matter, and that the answer shou!d be taken off the file for impertinence. In neither instance would the Court allow costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCIT, Nov. 9. ROGERS V. TYLER, CLERK. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule nisi to set aside the verdict for thfeplaintiff in this case, and for a new trial. The action was brought to try the question as to the existence,from time immemo dal of a select vestry in the parish of St. Giles-in : the-Fields. It was tried in the sittings of Midflle sex, after last term, before Mr. Justice James Pat ke and a Special Jury, when we gave the particulars in detail. The Jury, by their verdict, negatived the fact of the existence of the select vestry. The Learned Counsel now sought to set aside the verdict on two grounds—first, that evidence was received which was not properly admissible ; and secondly, that the verdict was against the evidence, and con trary to the directions of the Learned Judge. The Attorney-General went into the facts at consider able length, and contended, on the second point, that there was abundant evidence to establish the fact of the existence of the select vestry by immemo riil u , age. The COURT granted a rule nisi on both points. YORK AND OTHERS V. BARNETT AND OTHERS. Mr. CAMPBELL said that in this case, which was tried at the last sittings at Guildhall, before Lord Tenterden and a Special Jury, when a verdict was found for the defendants, he was instructed to move for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. The action %%as brought by Messrs. Yorke and Co., bankers, at Oundle and Peterborough, against Messrs. Barnett, lioave, and Co., the very respectable bankers of tie city of London, to recover 2,432/., which sum, be bmging to the plaintiffs, it was admitted had come into the hands of the dtfcndants; and the question was, whether the defendants were entitled to take credit for it under the circumstances given in evi dence on the trial. The plaintiffs were the bankers of the collector of the excise duty for the district of Grantham.—Rule refused. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 9. MURRAY V. WALKER AND OTIIERS. This was an action of false imprisonment, libel, and trover, tried at the last sittings at Guildhall. It will be recollected that an inchoate contract of part nership had been entered into between the plaintiff and defendants, for the purpose of publishing a se ' ries of maps of the roads and inland navigation of Great Britain ; and that after some time the de fendants chose to treat the plaintiff in the character of an agent only, and upon his refusing to deliver up the subscription books, two of the defendants, Messrs. \\Talker and Nicholls, lodged informations before a Magistrate against him, upon which a war rant issued, and he was apprehended on a charge of embezzling his employers' books. lie was kept in. custody for two days and nights, conveyed in - hand-1 cuffs by a public stage coach a distance of 40 or 50 ,1 miles—and ultimately, when taken before the Ma gistrate who had issued the warrant, the charge be ing dismissed, he was discharged. ?'he defend ants ' subsequently published an advertisement, in which I the plaintiff was stated to stand charged with em-' bezzlement (which was the libel complained of) ; and they also detained a trunk and wr;ting desk belong ing to him. The Jury found a verdict for the plain tiff of 5001. damages against Messrs. Walker and Nicholls, and acquitted Priestly, on the charge of malicious prosecution; 3001. damages on the charge of libel, against all three defendants, who bad suf fered judgment to go by default, both on this ground and that of trover, on which latter the Jury awarded further damages of 101.—in all 810/. damages. Mr. Serjeant CROSS now moved the Court for a rule, calling on the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. The COURT said they would take time to consider the question; but intimated to Mr. Serjeant Wilde that, as the damages seemed very large, it might be advisable for the plaintiff to settle the matter by ac cepting a smaller sum. Mr. Serjeant WILDE promised to have the inti mation of the Court communicated to his client. COOKE V. LAW. This was an action of libel tried before Mr. Jus tice Gazelee at the last Essex assizes. The plaintiff it appeared, having gone to Bury St. Edmund's to witness the trial of Corder for the murder of Maria Martin, stated, upon his return to Colchester, that upon his going into an inn at Bury, immediately after the termination of the trial, he was there asked by some persons present, if he was not the gentle man who had come down from London to hang Corder. This statement formed the foundation of a paragraph in the defendant's paper, the Colchester Gazelle, headed " A Cooke mistaken for a Jack Ketch," in which the anecdote was related in a manner calculated to throw ridicule on the plaintiff, which was still heightened by some doggrel rhymes that accompanied the prose version of the affair, and which ended thus : " The stupid elves mistook him by his look ; But, instead of a Jack, lie proved to be a Cooke." This was the publication of which the plaintiff com plained, and the Jury awarded him 10/. damages. Mr. Serjeant JONES now moved for a rule to show cause why the vet diet should not be set aside and a nonsuit entered, or the judgment arrested. He con tended that the proof of the defendant's being the publisher of the paper had failed, because in the affidavit lodged at the Stamp-office the publisher's name was described as E. 1. Law, whereas the de fendant's name was proved to be Edward John Law; and there was also a variance in the descrip tion of his place of abode. The Learned Serjeanr, -after dwelling upon the particulars, in which he-con tended that the evidence had fallen short of sutfi rick proof to sustain the verdict, then argued in arrest of judgment that the declaration was bad, in asmuch as matter not contained in the libel having been introduced by way of inducement and iuuendo, there was no averment that the defend:int published the libel of and concerning the plaintiff, " and of and concerning the said matters," &c.; the omis sion of which latter words, he cited cases to show was fatal. The COURT was of opinion that there was no gruund for arresting the judgment, but upon the first part of the application,—namely, to set aside the verdict.—Their Lordships granted a rule to shoe cause. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN attended at the Giltspur-street Compter, to dispose of the night charges, in order that the parties who NO been apprehended in the course of Saturday evening and Sunday, on slight charges, might riot be de tained in gaol till Tuesday. There were 3.1 i per sons in custody. George John Clark, otherwise Freeman, an as sistant to a newsvender at Layton in Essex, was charged with stealing a small bag of silver, amount ing to 141. 4s. From the evidence it appeared, that Mr. Fraser, a nurseryman, at Layton, sent his man with a cart to town on Saturday, with instructions to call at Mr. Oliver's, a grocer, in the Kingsland-road, and purchase 281 b. of soap, paying for the same with a cheque on Masterrnan's, for IE/. The Mall over took the prisoner on the road, and gave him a ride to town. Mr. Oliver tied up the change. for the cheque in twO parcels, one of which contained sil ver to the amount above-stated. These we►e thrown, with the soap, into a basket in the cart, and the man saw the parcel of silver was safe when be was at Clapton on his return. He afterwards permitted the prisoner to ride in the cart, and when he reached home he missed the silver. The pri soner bad quitted the cart about a quarter of a mile from home, saying he should be in time for his tea; but it appears, instead of taking his tea, he hastily inquired for the list of Sunday newspapers he was to purchase, and started instantly for town. Hills, • a constable of Layton, - came to town the same night, and while he was describing the prisoner, about three o'clock in the morning, to Huckle, the superintendent of the watch of St. Bride's, in order that he might be secured when he came to the News venders'-hall, the prisoner himself came capering along with a strumpet on each arm. Mackie over heard the prisoner remarking to the girls that he knew Hills, although Hills did not recognise him, and rightly conjectured he was the thief. Being secured and searched, the bag, with steady 131. in silver, was found on him, as also a memorandum which Mr. Oliver haul put into the bag, stating the ln•icc of the soap and the amount of silver and cop per given in change for the cheque. The prisoner made no defence. Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN having reproached him for his ingratitude to his old play-fellow and neigh• hour.( Mr. Fraser'o man), committed him for trial. BO NV.STR EET. Yesterday a young woman named Williams, the keeper of one of the infamous brothels in White Hart-yard, Catherine -street, Strand, and a girl of the town, named Wilkinson, were charged before Mr. HALLS, by a foreigner named Harman's, with having robbed him of his watch and its appendages. It appeared that the complainant met the girl Wilkinson in the Strand on Saturday evening, and accompanied her to the house in question, where four sit:flings were demanded of him, which he paid. A further demand of a sovereign was then made by the woman Wilkinson, who refused to suffer him to leave the house until he paid it. Not having the money about him, and fearing from the threats which were held out to him that he might be ill treated, he prbposed to leave his watch as a de posit. proposal was accepted, and he was . suffered to depart. The complainant then went in ' quest of an officer, and meeting Vicary, a police constable, in the Strand, he mentioned the circum stance to him, and proceeded to the house with the officer, who took both the prisoners into custody, upon 'which the watch was delivered up to Vicary. Mr. HALLS asked the officer if he knew of his own knowledge that the house was one of accommo dation for mess and women.—Vicary replied in the • affirmative, and added that While he was there he saw several persons in the house. Mr. HALLS said that although the present evi dence could not support the charge,of felony, there was proof sufficient of the character of the house to warrant him in ordering that it should be imme diately indicted. He then ordered the prisoners to find bail, the one for keeping a common brothel, and the girl for being a prostitute. Williamilarris, a man about 30 years of age, was charged by Gough and Miles, two Surrey con stables, with having been at large contrary to a sen tence that had beets passed upon him at the Croy don Summer Assizes of 1825. The prisoher, it appeared, had been once cast for death, which sentence was afterwards commuted to transportation for life. lie managed, however, to effect his escape, was soon after apprehended for a robbery, tried at Croydon, and again sentenced to death, but escaped the gallows. and ultimately broke prison, and has been at large since that period. lie was fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday a fashionable-looking person, about 40 years of age, whose name was stated to be captain William Sullivan, appeared on an assault warrant before Mr. ROE and the Rev. Mr. TIIURSBY, charged ‘vith having assaulted Mr. Clark, of Storey -street, under the following circumstances : The complainant, who appeared to be very much injured, deposed that upon the 26th of October he retired to bed about ten o'clock at night, but being very uneasy, from some unpleasant circumstances which had come to his knowledge, he rose from his bed and went down stairs. On going into his back parlour he saw his wife and Captain• Sullivan, who had been his lodg►er about four years, sitting toge ther. He desired his wife to come to bed. This she refused to do. lie then took hold of her by her arm and pushed her, on which Captain Sullivan took up the cudgels, and said he should not touch her. lie said it was nothing to him, on which the Capt.tin seized hold of him and knocked his head against the wainscot, and injured him most severely Mr. ROE—Is he a lodger of yours? Mr. Clark—He was; but he had no business to be in the back - parlour. About three or four years since I let him the front attic at 10s. per week, and he vas to breakfast in the front room, but not to retdn it mare than one hour. By this circum stance he became acquainted with my wife, and he got on, from little to little, until circumstances took place which leave no doubt in my mind as to what has taken place. 1 have sufficient proof as to the criminality of the parties upon two or three occa sions, and because I desired her to come to bed he assaulted me. I was under the necessity of having twelve leeches on my temples directly after he had assaulted me, and forty since, besides blisters. Mr. ROE—What do you say to the charge? Captain Sullivan, in reply, said—He has sworn to my having assaulted him, and therefore I shall leave ►t to you to decide; but I deny beginning it. He came into the room and began ill-using his wife ver y much, when I begged him to desist, and said if he repeated his conduct I would not put tip with it ; if he did I would knock him down, on which he struck me. I then observed that I was a violent man, and if he struck me again I would knock him down, and accordingly I kept my word. He then sent me to the watch-house, and the following day, at Hatton-garden, he sent word that he did not in tend to appear against me. Cole, who took the into custody, stated, that Mrs. Clark said it v.tti not the intention of her PRICE OF SEEDS.—Nov. 9. New English Red Clover Seed (per Cwt.) 12s. h2s. fine 58s. 625.

CUAMBETIS and ELVARD, were occupied for some hours in the inrestigation of a robbery, committed on Friday last, at a brothel in Robert-street, Kent street, in which an elderly gentleman, named Grice, lost his gold watch and app:lidages, besides a purse containing 13 sovereigns. The neighbourhood where the robbery took place is one of the very worst at the Surrey side of the river, especially since the formation of the new police, who have driven the majority of the prostitutes over there, who pre viously infested the purlieus of the great theatres, and the Almonry, in the district of Queen-square, Westminster. The person charged with the rob bery is a young female named Brown. • The complainant was dressed in the ancient cos tume of his forefathers, wearing a low-crowned hat with an enormous brim to it, powdered hair, and an old fashioned coat, with silver buttons, each us large as a crown-piece. He commenced his charge against the prisoner thus :—" Your Worship, I have been staying in town for some days past, at the Half Moon, in the Borough, where I am in the habit of putting up when I come in from my residence at Reigate. On Friday last I spent the evening at the Artichoke, on Newington-causeway, and was detained there later than I otherwise should , have been, owing to a very important discussion going forward in the room, in which I was much inte rested. When I left that house, which was a little after twelve o'clock, as I was pa--sing St. George's church, that wicked young woman at the bar," said the complainant, pointing to the prisoner, " came up, and asked me if I wanted a lodging. I did, although reluctantly, accompany the girl to a house somewhere off Kent -street, where we went to bed, I first having taken the precaution of placing my gold watch and purse of sovereigns under my pillow. I soon fell asleep. Well, your. Worship," continued the complainant, " on awaking in the morning, I missed my companion, and shortly afterwards disco vered that both watch and money were also gone." Mr. CHAMBERS—I have now, Sir, a few questions to put to you. Ia the first place, where you sober when you met the girl ? To this question the corn- ,! plainant gave an impertinent answer, which, coupled with his previous conduct, and a strange peculiarity of voice in the delivery of his evidence, induced • the Magistrate to believe that he was then labour ing under the effects of liquor. This, however, did not appear to be the ease, for it was stated that he bad a hesitation in his speech which caused an im pediment in his pronunciation. Mr. CHA3IIII3I2S :hen sent for the landlord of the Artichoke, in order to ascertain with certain y whether Mr. Grice was tipsy when he left his house on the night he was robbed, and in the interval put the following questions to him : Pray, Sir, what business or profession are you ? Mr. Orice—l am an independent gentleman, and have served for the last three years as foreman of the grand jury at Reigate. Mr. CHAMBERS—If you were really sober on the night in question, you should have acted with more caution than to accompany a common prostitute to such a place as Kent-street. . . . Mr. tLYARD was only surprised that the people in the brothel, into which he had so incautiously ventured, did not cut off the large silver buttons on his coat, as well as deprive him of his watch and purse of sovereigns. The landlord of the Artichoke having arrived by this time, in reply to the Magistrates he said, that Mr. Grice had spent last Friday night at his house, and that he only drank a single glass of ale and a small glass of brandy and water while there. He remained in the coffee-room betwi , en four and five hours, and left the house about 12 o'clock, sober.
